Yet it has been cherished by the native people of the Amazon for hundreds of years as a healing fruit. Modern Brazilians eat the acai berry because it tastes nice and is highly nutritious. The famous Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family recommended eating acai before workouts, and soccer players have been using the fruit as a natural energy booster. With its popularity skyrocketing, acai's anti cancer potential is being researched. Acai berries (http://www.frnt.org/personalnaturals/index.php?main_page=product_info cPath=21 products_id=111) grow on palm trees in floodplain areas of the Amazon River. The berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry. Like blueberries, they are potent antioxidants. What Makes Acai a Cancer Fighting Super Food?

The presence of these heavy metals (and others such as arsenic, cadmium and lead) has increased as industrialization and its waste products spread. We can work to avoid these substances as much as possible, but some exposure will still occur at times. Since even small amounts of heavy metals in the body can cause negative side effects like fatigue, headaches, digestive problems and skin conditions, it's important to use natural methods to cleanse your body of these toxins.

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:54:12 +0100 http://frnt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=148&Itemid=24 What is inflammation? Inflammation is your body’s response to any harmful agent, such as something that can cause disease (e.g. bacteria, virus), an allergen or other irritant. In short, inflammation is your body’s natural response to something that causes irritation. Inflammation is a protective mechanism designed to remove the harmful agent as well as begin the healing process in the body. The ultimate goal of inflammation is to seal off the area, kill the invaders, remove damaged tissue and cells, and rebuild the area. Essentially inflammation is like a small biological fire designed to “burn away” the irritation.

In Europe, where flu vaccines are typically tested on hundreds (or thousands) of people before being unleashed on the masses, the European Medicines Agency is allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely. And yet, amazingly, people are lining up to take the vaccine, absent any safety testing whatsoever. When the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs. The power of fear to herd sheeple into vaccine injections is simply amazing...

The mistakes include destruction of embryos during a blackout, others lost when a clinic was flooded, fertilised embryos dropped on a floor and a woman giving birth to a boy after requesting only female embryos because of a genetic condition. Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:07:11 +0100 http://frnt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=144&Itemid=73 In the last 3 years, an increasing amount of research suggests that some of the damage done by Vitamin D deficiency is done in-utero, while the fetus is developing. Much of that damage may be permanent, that is, it can not be fully reversed by taking Vitamin D after birth. This research indicates Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy endangers the mother's life and health, and is the origin for a host of future perils for the child, especially for the child's brain and immune system. Some of the damage done by maternal Vitamin D deficiency may not show up for 30 years. Let's start with the mother.

Are your fingernails brittle and splitting? Do you have a digestive disorder? Maybe silica is the solution for you. Silica is classified as a trace mineral requiring regular intake via our diet. Foods such as rice, spinach, parsley, beetroot, raisins, carrots and tomatoes all contain silica and should be included regularly in the diet. However, elderly people, pregnant women, athletes, children, people in stressful occupations and people with a low vegetable diet often require additional amounts of silica.

Previous work here and elsewhere has shown that a diet light in carbohydrates could slow tumor growth, but the animals in those studies also lost weight, and because we know that weight loss can restrict the amount of energy feeding tumors, we weren't able to tell just how big an impact the pure carbohydrate restriction was having, until now, said Stephen Freedland, M.D., a urologist in the Duke Prostate Center and lead investigator on this study.

Whilst there is unanimous agreement that TFA’s are problematic and are to be avoided at all costs, some explanations are confusing at best or misleading at worst. It is time for more clarity so we can all choose the fats that are good and avoid those that are bad.

Vitamin A (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid) is found in apricots, carrots (through its precursor betacarotene), fish liver oils (cod, salmon, halibut), green leafy vegetables, kohlrabi, liver, mint, egg yolk. It is a fat soluble antioxidant and therefore requires fats for proper assimilation and absorption. Vitamin A is involved in steroid and adrenocorticoid hormone synthesis, bone growth, controls gene expression, increases resistance to infections, increases iron utilisation for haemoglobin formation, vision, visual purple synthesis, protects against epithelial carcinogenesis etc. [1] Fri, 01 May 2009 02:41:49 +0100 http://frnt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=139&Itemid=24 By Adam Cresswell Herald Sun (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25252474-662,00.html) March 28, 2009 Drug companies spending $300,000 on events Sponsor educational events But criticised as over the top DRUGMAKERS are under fire for profoundly excessive spending on educational events for doctors that include weekends costing over $300,000 at five-star hotels.

In the world of nutrition, it seems the opposite philosophy reigns. Saturated fats have been vilified for decades. It has been declared that these fats are killing us, although adequate proof has never been shown. Studies which show that saturated fat causes cardiovascular problems rarely take into account the harm caused by factors such as smoking, stress and eating large amounts of refined carbohydrates.

Grassley on Tuesday asked the drug maker Pfizer to provide details of its payments to at least 149 faculty members at Harvard Medical School. The senator, an Iowa Republican who is investigating the drug industry’s influence on the practice of medicine, also asked for any Pfizer e-mail, faxes, letters or photos regarding Harvard medical students who have protested drug company influence. Mr. Grassley, in a letter to Pfizer (pdf/2009_03_03_Pfizer_letter.pdf) , wrote that he was “greatly disturbed” to read an article in The New York Times on Tuesday describing a Pfizer representative taking cellphone photographs of the medical students last October at a campus demonstration against industry influence. “I find this troubling as I have documented several instances where pharmaceutical companies have attempted to intimidate academic critics of drugs,” he wrote.

Many women accept premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as a normal part of life that they just have to deal with. This monthly mayhem does not have to be a part of life though! These monthly changes in mood, appetite, energy and sleep patterns are an annoying part of life and should not be considered “normal”. Snappy, teary, tender and bloated? In Australia, it is estimated that up to 70% of women experience PMS at some point in their life, with 18% of women suffering the most severe form of PMS; premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Our data strongly suggest that trans fats ingestion during early life is particularly related to insulin resistance and to the consequent impairment of cardiac glucose metabolism in adulthood, the researchers wrote. Trans fats are a variety of fat molecules that have no nutritional benefit to the body and are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. The fats increase inflammation, the risk of endolethial dysfunction, and levels of LDL ( bad ) cholesterol, while lowering levels of HDL ( good ) cholesterol. While minute quantities of trans fats naturally...

These veggies have been proven to prevent all sorts of cancer, including breast cancer. The way in which the active compounds in cruciferous vegetables inhibit breast cancer cells has been largely unknown. Now a study at UC Santa Barbara has shown why they are so effective. Breast cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Consuming too many dead foods that don't offer anything of value to the body is one of the root causes. Adding cruciferous vegetables to the diet can fight this epidemic form of cancer.

It could be breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer or even something like leukemia. By following the instructions in this article, you can give yourself almost any form of cancer desirable and if you pursue these strategies to their fullest potential, you could end up with several different forms of cancer all at once. So, let's get started and learn how to give yourself cancer.

Three-day-old broccoli sprouts consistently contain 20 to 50 times the amount of chemo-protective compounds found in mature broccoli heads, and may offer a simple, dietary means of chemically reducing cancer risk, says Paul Talalay, M.D., J.J. Abel Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmacology. The research suggested that broccoli can prevent the damage from ultraviolet light that often leads to skin cancer. And for those of you who can’t stand the stuff, you will surely appreciate that you would not even have to eat it!

However, this small muscular tube is a critical part of the digestive system. When you eat, your esophagus carries food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Cancer of the esophagus, also known as esophageal cancer, starts from its inner layer and grows outward on a deadly course. When it strikes, esophageal cancer is almost always fatal because it is usually diagnosed only at a late stage. According to the American Cancer Society, about 14,280 Americans died from the disease in 2008. But there's good news about a way to fight this cancer. Scientists have found that a natural and delicious substance could help prevent the malignancy in the first place and kill cancer cells in the esophagus when they appear...

It has also emerged that Curtin University failed to disclose to the parents of the children in the study the full extent of involvement in the study by Eli Lilly Australia, the multinational company that markets the drug, Strattera.

Ceasing to take medicines such as sleeping pills and antidepressants improved people's mental abilities and reduced the likelihood of serious falls, according to the analysis by David Le Couteur, director of the Centre for Education and Research on Ageing at the University of Sydney. In up to 85 per cent of people aged 65 or older, blood pressure was stable for six months to five years after withdrawal of blood pressure medicines, without any increase in the death rate. Professor Le Couteur said his research was in some ways a politically motivated exercise intended to highlight the gulf between the results of drug company-sponsored trials and how elderly people actually fared on the same drugs.

BPH is just a medical term that means a man’s prostate gland has become bigger than it should be. Because the prostate gland wraps around a part of the urinary tract, when it becomes enlarged, it actually presses on the tube that carries urine, altering the ability to pass urine.

The finding proves that a very low-cost treatment is highly effective and could serve as a low-cost nutritional therapy for diabetics, ultimately saving tens of millions of dollars a year in medical treatment costs in the U.S. alone.

And could clinical trials of that potential cure be thwarted because drug companies know they can't make money out of a treatment that can't be patented? The answer to both those questions is yes . A study just published in the December issue of the European medical journal Anticancer Research demonstrates for the first time a naturally-occurring substance used as a cough suppressant for over fifty years may be useful in treating advanced prostate cancer. Researchers from the Prostate Cancer Research and Educational Foundation, the MedInsight Research Institute, and the University of California in San Diego found that noscapine, a non-addictive derivative of opium, reduced tumor growth in mice by 60%. What's more, it halted the spread of tumors by 65% and caused no harmful side effects.

Many women accept premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as a normal part of life that they just have to deal with. This monthly mayhem does not have to be a part of life though! These monthly changes in mood, appetite, energy and sleep patterns are an annoying part of life and should not be considered “normal”. Snappy, teary, tender and bloated? In Australia, it is estimated that up to 70% of women experience PMS at some point in their life, with 18% of women suffering the most severe form of PMS; premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Maybe after you have eaten a large meal and feel bloated? Or perhaps you pay attention to your digestive system only when you have had changes in bowel movements, like diarrhoea or constipation? If this is the case, some digestive support in the form of a probiotic could be useful! Probiotics are “good bacteria” that help keep your digestive system in good condition. Digestive problems are often a sign that the bacteria in your digestive system are out of balance, and since your digestive system is the centre of health, it is extremely important that you keep it healthy!

"For this research we tested a molecular mechanism and showed that it is viable."Population studies such as EPIC, the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer, identified a strong link between eating lots of fibre and a lower risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.

All cancers are alike and all are caused by a single parasite (fasciolopsis buskii), the same parasite that also causes HIV and AIDS. If you kill the parasite, the cancer stops immediately and the tissues return to normal. You must have this parasite in order to get cancer or AIDS.

They might think they have beaten their cancer with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, only to find a few years later that tumours have spread into other tissues -- usually the lungs, brain, or even the reproductive organs. Conventional medicine has not yet caught on to what's happening here, but the reason why this phenomenon occurs is quite simple: Conventional cancer treatments only treat the symptoms of cancer (tumors or growths) and do not actually do anything to help the patient regain a level of health necessary to keep cancer in check.A tumour is not technically a disease. It is a symptom of an underlying imbalance in the patient. Unless you treat and reverse the underlying imbalances, you will never eliminate the underlying cause of the cancer. You will continue to see more tumours and complications, even if you are able to treat the...

Your oncologist is pushing you to begin chemotherapy immediately. You know that chemotherapy will make you sick, your hair fall out and leave you completely debilitated and dependent on someone to care for you. You will suffer severe side-effects that may leave your nervous system damaged, weaken your bones or damage your heart. You also realize that chances are your cancer will return after months of grueling treatments. You think maybe you would like to try alternative medicine but your oncologist is against it and you know of others who tried that route and died.

With VEGF held in check, researchers have assumed tumors wouldn't generate blood vessels and that should keep malignancies from growing. In a sense, the cancerous growths would be "starved". But new research just published in the journal Nature shows this isn't true. Instead of weakening blood vessels so they won't "feed" malignant tumors, these cancer treatments, known as anti-angiogenesis drugs, actually normalize and strengthen blood vessels -- and that means they can spur tumors to grow larger.For their study, researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in La Jolla, replicated the action of anti-angiogenesis drugs by genetically decreasing VEGF levels in mouse tumors and inflammatory cells in several types of cancers,...

In 1850, 1 of every 150 deaths was due to cancer. Today, 1 in 4 Americans will develop cancer during their lifetime. Cancer even accounts for 11% of all the deaths in children between the ages of 1 and 12. This exponential increase in cancer mortality is due to tobacco smoking, marked dietary changes, and marked environmental pollution and the increase of chemicals in our diet. Almost every food we eat contains chemicals in the form of preservatives, insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers. All these chemicals are unfamiliar to our bodies and end up triggering imbalanced immune responses and causing cancers. In a balanced state, our body makes 30-40 cancer cells daily and our immune system produces killer cells, destroying them. The chemicals we use in our diets can prevent...

In the ensuing decades, tens of billions of dollars have been spent on the cause yet a cure by orthodox means remains elusive. By any standards this campaign has been a failed endeavour; or worse, a shameful fraud. Progress is a myth, and sustaining hope for the development of a safe and effective cancer drug is pointless. It's up to each individual to empower themselves with knowledge of the myriad ways to eradicate cancer without harming the body. Although it's easier to prevent cancer than to reverse it once it has taken hold, it is nevertheless reversible with holistic therapies that address imbalances of the body, mind and spirit. This is not an opinion; it is a statement of fact that's based on this author's first-hand experience. Holistic strategies should be embraced by the cancer survivor as permanent lifestyle changes....

Researchers from the College of Nursing at Kaohsiung Medical University, Taiwan, randomly assigned 116 pregnant women to a music group and 120 to a control group. “The music group showed significant reductions in stress, anxiety and depression after just two weeks, using three established measurement scales” says Professor Chung-Hey Chen, who is now based at the National Cheng Kung University. “In comparison, the control group showed a much smaller reduction in stress, while their anxiety and depression scores showed little or no improvement. “Women in the music group also expressed preferences for the type of music they listened to, with lullabies, nature and crystal sounds proving more popular than classical music.” The women who took part in the study...

Pregnant mice that consumed diets high in supplements containing methyl-donors, such as folic acid, had offspring with more severe allergic airway disease than offspring from mice that consumed diets low in methyl-containing foods. The results of the study are being published Sept. 18, 2008, in the online version of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and will appear in the October print issue. "Our findings suggest that a mother's diet that alters DNA methylation can affect the development of the fetus's immune system, predisposing it to allergic airway disease," said David Schwartz, MD, senior author on the paper and Professor of Medicine at National Jewish Health.

Numerous epidemiological and ecological studies have shown increased cancer rates in higher latitudes around the world, especially colon, breast, and prostate cancers. With higher latitude comes a lower exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun - a critical component of adequate vitamin D levels in the blood. Pre-vitamin D is activated in skin cells via UV light into active vitamin D3. In this study, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, analyzed worldwide data on winter vitamin D levels and found breast and colon cancer incidence rose as blood vitamin D levels dropped. A blood level above 22 ng/mL was protective for colon cancer, while above 32 ng/mL was protective for breast cancer. These were...

The vitamin is extremely dangerous, researchers now say, because it might "interfere with the toxic effects of chemotherapy." These mainstream media articles, of course, are attempting to convince cancer patients to stop taking vitamins that support health and, instead, allow chemotherapy to poison their body's cells without any protection whatsoever for healthy cells. But in stating that Vitamin C prevents chemotherapy chemicals from doing their work (of poisoning cells), what they're really doing, in effect, is admitting that Vitamin C is really, really good at protecting cells from free radical damage."Vitamin C appears to protect the mitochondria from extensive damage, thus saving the cell," said lead researcher Dr Mark Heaney.

The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) is promoting prevention as a better option than treatment and particularly targeting smoking as the highest recognisable risk area. The Cancer Research Institute (C.R.I.) is seeking vaccines that support the body's own ability to heal. Alternative and holistic approaches seek to do the same with diet, nutrition, lifestyle and other choices. Different philosophies of medicine achieve 'immune support' in various ways not considered by orthodox Western medicine, which concentrates mainly on 'drugs and surgery' as an afterthought to disease, often just adding more toxins and stress to an overloaded system. Alternative treatments take many forms to support the body in its own healing process. Although we have constant new biological treatments promised, they usually only apply to a small percentage of cancer types. Change in this field is agonisingly slow and in some cases...

Fats as part of a meal slow down absorption so that we can go longer without feeling hungry. In addition, they act as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Dietary fats are needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A, for mineral absorption and for a host of other processes. Politically Correct Nutrition is based on the assumption that we should reduce our intake of fats, particularly saturated fats from animal sources. Fats from animal sources also contain cholesterol, presented as the twin villain of the civilized diet.

Short-chain fatty acids have four to six carbon atoms. These fats are always saturated. Four-carbon butyric acid is found mostly in butterfat from cows, and six-carbon capric acid is found mostly in butterfat from goats. These fatty acids have antimicrobial properties-that is, they protect us from viruses, yeasts and pathogenic bacteria in the gut. They do not need to be acted on by the bile salts but are directly absorbed for quick energy. For this reason, they are less likely to cause weight gain than olive oil or commercial vegetable oils.

She says the absence of linol-acids [in the average western diet] is responsible for the production of oxydase, which induces cancer growth and is the cause of many other chronic disorders. The beneficial oxydase ferments are destroyed by heating or boiling oils in foods, and by nitrates used for preserving meat, etc.The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils water-soluble and which is present in cheese, nuts, onion and...

These imbalances can occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from modern agricultural practises, to poor diet and stress. Because most times these imbalances remain undetected, the Active Elements® online Assessment System provides a simple, quick and non-invasive way to determine any imbalances that may exist. The Active Elements® Concept in a nutshell The Active Elements® system is based upon the mineral salts Potassium phosphate, Potassium sulphate, Potassium chloride, Sodium chloride, Sodium phosphate, Sodium sulphate, Calcium phosphate, Calcium sulphate, Calcium fluoride, Magnesium phosphate, Iron phosphate and Silicon dioxide. Each of these inorganic mineral salts is made-up of positively and negatively charged elements. The positively charged element is called the 'Cation', and the negatively charged element is called the 'Anion'. Through electrical attraction these two elements are bound together to form a 'Mineral Salt'. Science generally (and most practitioners too) only consider the role that the 'cation' plays in...

There are two basic categories: digestive enzymes which work in the stomach breaking down food particles before their nutrients can be absorbed, and metabolic (or systemic) enzymes whose primary work begins in the bloodstream digesting foreign debris before traveling to bodily tissues to continue this and other functions. A chronic deficiency of enzymes weakens the immune system, contributes to illness, and ultimately promotes diseases such as cancer. Both enzyme types are produced in the body but are also present in raw foods and through oral supplementation. To achieve and maintain optimum health, an adequate supply of both forms is fundamental. There are twenty-two different types of enzymes produced in the body, primarily by the pancreas, and this production diminishes as we age (1). The...

When the diet mostly consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially if it is concentrated in a program such as Juice Fasting which is a powerful detoxification method, the results are usually immediate and dramatic. Similar results may be had by taking only water for an extended period of time. However, water fasting does not provide the healing nutrition required for a body to replace faulty cells with healthy ones. It is recommended that a person contemplating an extensive detoxification program should place themselves under the supervision of a nutritionist. This should not be confused with a dietitian. For the purposes of this writing, a dietitian is one who follows the basic guidelines of the typical food pyramid, which is a one-size-fits-all plan which includes certain amounts of dairy products, meat, fruits,...

Every year we see promising new drugs and therapies announced. Yet every year we also see more people contract cancer and more people die of cancer. Instead of focusing on natural and safe methods of prevention and treatment, we continue to treat by using surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to cut out, poison out and burn out the symptoms of cancer while leaving the underlying causes untreated -- and we continue to largely ignore the role that proper diet, nutrition and lifestyle plays in preventing and helping cure cancer.

Robert Ryan, B.Sc explores the reasons why.By Robert Ryan, B.Sc. CANCER IS INCREASING Once quite rare, cancer is now the second major cause of death in Western countries such as Australia, the U.S.A. and the United Kingdom. In the early 1940s cancer accounted for 12% of Australian deaths. (1) By 1992 this figure had climbed to 25.9% of Australian deaths. (2) The increasing trend of cancer deaths and incidence is typical of most Western nations. It has been said that this increase in cancer is just due to the fact that people now live longer than their ancestors did, and that therefore the increase of cancer is merely due to the fact that...

There is no question that our health needs have changed over the last eighty years. At the turn of the century, the most important diseases in the United States were infectious diseases such as influenza, tuberculosis, and pneumonia. Since then, the incidence of infectious disease has declined. However, during the same time, the rate of chronic illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, has risen substantially.

To the contrary, it is a delightful guide for keeping him around - and the rest of the family, too - for many years of health and vigor. Nutritionist and former FDA toxicologist and pharmacologist June de Spain has compiled 300 taste-tested recipes rich in natural sources of vitamin B17, the cyanide-containing substance that many doctors and scientists now believe is nature's control for cancer. Here's the long-awaited book (zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info cPath=1 products_id=2) that shows what foods contain this vital nutritional factor and how to best prepare them for the whole family.

Whereas, in reality, it is CONVENTIONAL medicine that puts out huge amounts of false hope. A great deal of evidence indicates that alternative methods for cancer are often a lot more effective at bringing about long-term cures than conventional methods -- and with no negative side effects! However, most mainstream doctors believe that the ONLY effective approaches to cancer are those they have to offer in their conventional arsenal. Since they believe their approaches are the only choices you have, they will often NOT tell you the truth about your chances for recovery. In other words, even though they may KNOW their treatments cannot cure you, they will not always tell you that when they administer their treatments to you because they don’t think you have any other options anyway! In other words, conventional doctors often give...

In many instances, these moms look for an organic infant formula and are willing to pay top dollar to give their babies the best possible nutrition. Sadly, just because an infant formula is given the "organic" label doesn't necessarily mean that it is healthy.For example, a recent article in The New York Times revealed that the organic version of Similac infant formula is sweetened with cane sugar (sucrose) and is much sweeter than other infant formulas. While all infant formulas have some added sugars to aid in the digestion of proteins, other organic products use sugars like organic lactose, which is presumably a better match for what's found in breast milk and doesn't have the sweetness of...

"There has been a lot of interest on whether soy affects fertility because many studies in animals suggest that this is the case, but there are very few studies in humans," said researcher and lead study author Jorge Chavarro from the university's School of Public Health . "This is only the third study to look at whether soy food has a relationship with fertility in humans and the first one to find an association in agreement to the animal studies," he said. Soy contains isoflavones, an organic compound which acts like female hormones and appears to impede a man's ability to produce sperm. "Isoflavones are structurally similar to estrogen and can mimic the action of oestrogen in the body," said Mr Chavarro. "Soy is expected to have...

The meta-analysis studied 18 randomized, controlled studies involving over 57,000 individuals over a mean of 5.7 years. With an average daily supplemental dose of 528 IU, people who took vitamin D for at least three years had an eight-percent reduction in mortality. The mechanism(s) by which vitamin D is protective are not known; however, lower vitamin D levels have been demonstrated to be correlated with increased risk of death from heart disease, cancers, and diabetes. It may be that vitamin D's anti-proliferative and immune-regulating effects will be found to be the predominant mechanisms. "Given the high probability of benefit for at least some of the many conditions that have been associated with vitamin D deficiency, and the...

The researchers say that the study is the first to examine a connection between the diet and mortality in a U.S. population.Researchers examined data on more than 160,000 women and 200,000 men who had filled out detailed questionnaires about their eating habits, weight, age, smoking status and other factors known to affect health. The researchers then ranked participants based on how closely they held to either a traditional Mediterranean diet or an alternate Mediterranean diet.Participants scored higher for adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet if they ate more fruits and nuts, grains, beans, fish and vegetables (excluding potatoes), and if they ate less dairy, meat or saturated fat.

Women who ate more than two servings of fatty fish per week had children who, at age three, performed better on cognitive and motorskills tests. However, women who had higher mercury levels in pregnancy, had children with lower test scores. The problem is that women who had high mercury levels also consumed more fish. This conundrum is what prevents many women from getting enough omega-3 fatty acids in their diet while pregnant. In fact, the US FDA recommends pregnant women not eat any shark, king mackerel, tilefish, or swordfish because of increased levels of mercury in these fish. It may be more feasible that women take a pure fish oil supplement in pregnancy rather than eat potentially contaminated fish.Reference: Oken E, Radesky JS,...

How?By attending to the health and lifestyle of both prospective parents before they conceive a child! Put simply, preconception health care aims to ensure that there is an adequate supply of all those nutritional factors which are essential for the health of sperm, ova and foetus and an absence of those factors which are known to compromise general health or which are harmful to germ cells and to foetal development. Since ova (eggs) are susceptible to damage for 100 days before ovulation and since sperm formation takes approximately 116 days, the pregnancy preparation for both prospective parents should be for a minimum period of four months before an intended conception.

Cancer has been a reality since the "The Year Dot". Humans have developed cancerous cells for centuries. All of us are producing these malignant cells on a day to day basis, somewhere between 100 and 10,000 cells daily. If we are fortunate enough that our immune system is in a strong state, and if our exposure to toxic substances remains generally low, then our immune system can easily deal with the cancerous cells before they are able to multiply to a larger extent.Building a resolute and strong immune system is not achieved overnight. Those of us whose parents had such a good immune system, are at a distinct advantage. Their strong genes are passed on to the offspring. If the young growing children are nurtured through their childhood by a) superior nutrition and b) low exposure...

Within the same time frame the quality of our foods has been on the decline. These days most so called "foods" are highly processed and are available in packet form incorporating a myriad of preservatives and additives, let alone the use of genetically modified (GM) "foods" rendering them virtually useless. This combination of external toxins (= "exotoxins", which are toxins absorbed from highly processed foods, from packaging and building materials like certain plastics, from pharmaceutical and illicit drugs, from the air we breathe and from the water we drink) and internal toxins (= "endotoxins", which we produce in some of our systems as a result of ingestion of exotoxins or insufficiency of detoxification) and the lack of detoxification leads to a much higher production of cancerous cells in the body.

But at some stage you may be forced to call your road-assist service because your car won't move any longer. Our body is designed to function properly through the intake of uncontaminated, unadulterated and bio-dynamically grown foods containing all essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids and good fats. Clean water (without additives) and sufficient fresh air is a necessity. Your foods should deliver good proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates and fibre. Excessive or insufficient intake of any of the previously mentioned food groups invariably is detrimental to your health.

Instead I am now fully convinced that most chronic diseases are caused by the medical system, and in the following I want to state my reasons for this conclusion. Increasingly over the years my health beliefs have been turned around. I started out by working as a biochemist and toxicologist in university medical departments fully believing that all our chronic and incurable diseases are indeed incurable. Even if the origin of the disease is unknown I believed pharmaceutical drugs made life easier for patients and often were even curative. My re-education started after immigrating to New Zealand and learning about natural healing and living; this made me realise that disease is mainly caused by unnatural living conditions and can be overcome by natural methods of living and healing. During this period I learned about the...

There is no substitute for magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. It goes against a gale wind of medical science to ignore magnesium chloride used transdermally in the treatment of any chronic or acute disorder, especially cancer. Magnesium repletion produced rapid disappearance of the periosteal tumours. Aleksandrowicz et al in Poland conclude that inadequacy of Mg (Magnesium) and antioxidants are important risk factors in predisposing to leukemias. Other researchers found that 46% of the patients admitted to an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) in a tertiary cancer centre presented hypomagnesemia. They concluded that the incidence of hypomagnesemia in critically ill cancer patients is high. In animal studies we find that Mg deficiency has caused lymphopoietic...

The 12 minerals used in the Active Elements® formulas are prepared and used according to principles that date back to the 1800's. These minerals have been in constant use since that time, which makes them one of the few therapies to survive the test of time. They therefore form part of what is generally referred to as ‘Traditional Medicine’. The introduction of the Active Elements® concept has transformed this previously successful but complicated and confusing therapy into one that is now accessible to people who would normally choose ‘Conventional’ rather than ‘Complementary’ and ‘Alternative’ Medicine. The Active Elements® concept was developed to assist consumers who wish to maintain some measure of choice and control over their own health care. The principle that underpins the...

Newly released information about the study with Vitorin, a widely prescribed cholesterol lowering drug, reveals that the drug does nothing to reduce plaque build up in the arteries. Just the opposite – using Vitorin doubled plaque growth and led to an increase in heart attacks and strokes. The study, conducted on 720 patients (most in the Netherlands) with high blood cholesterol levels, tested the effects of Vitorin (a multi-drug combining Zocor, a statin which inhibits cholesterol production in the liver; and Zetia, a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption in the intestine). Although Vitorin lowered cholesterol levels in the blood by about 20% more than Zocor alone, it did not...

The study, which was conducted on 460 children in Menorca, Spain from birth to age 6 and 1/2 years, also showed that children who ate 60 or more grams (about 2 ounces) of omega-3 containing fish were less likely to suffer 'atopy' - inherited childhood allergies. It is believed that due to the high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of the vegetables and fish, these foods produce a protective and healing effect on the bronchial passageways. According to the lead author of the study, Dr. Leda Chatzi, "The biological mechanisms that underlie the protective affect of these foods is not fully understood, but we believe...

Researchers from the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, reviewed 18 trials of more than 57,000 people. The trials involved doses of vitamin D ranging from 300 international units (IUs) to 2,000 IUs. The average dose was 528 IUs. After a period of six years, the data showed that people who took vitamin D supplements had a 7 percent lower risk of death compared to people who did not take the supplements. Further, according to the nine trials that collected blood samples, people who took vitamin D supplements had a 1.4- to 5.2-fold higher level of vitamin D in their blood than those who did not. Because vitamin D can reduce the proliferation of cells, which occurs in cancer, the researchers...

Part of this is because some celebrities are reportedly consuming (and raving about) them, and part is due to their legendary health-promoting properties. Once only found in health food stores in the U.S. and Western Europe, goji berries are now appearing in a few supermarkets.

And that includes skin cancer - the type of cancer we have repeatedly been told that it is caused by exposure to sunlight (Slip, Slap, Slop - if you live in Australia then you know what I mean).Click here to read the full interview (external link) by Mike Adams with Dr. Michael Holick * * * * *If you wish to be notified about changes to our website, you can now Subscribe to our Newsletter.

Even rats who were addicted to cocaine quickly switched their preference to sugar, once it was offered as a choice. The rats were also more willing to work for sugar than for cocaine.The researchers speculate that the sweet receptors (two protein receptors located on the tongue), which evolved in ancestral times when the diet was very low in sugar, have not adapted to modern times’ high-sugar consumption.Therefore, the abnormally high stimulation of these receptors by our sugar-rich diets generates excessive reward signals in the brain, which have the potential to override normal self-control mechanisms, and thus lead to addiction.Additionally, their research found that there’s also a cross-tolerance and a cross-dependence between sugars and addictive drugs. As an example, animals with... Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:43:28 +0100 http://frnt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=24 By Ilse Marie Issels The human body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms which are self-healing. A healthy body is capable of eliminating the toxic substances generated by its normal functioning and imposed on it by an unnatural life style. If the production of toxic metabolites and the ingestion of toxic substances overwhelms the organs of detoxification and excretion, the body stores these substances in the connective tissues which become impeded in their important tasks of regulation and defence. Malaise results and signals us that the body is trying to get rid of toxins and needs help to help itself. Our first aid to the body is to relieve it from the burden of waste and toxic substances so that its regulatory self-healing mechanisms can function again. Experience has taught us that an impairment of the basic regulatory processes can lead to the "regulatory freeze" which is typical in cancer. In this case... Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:43:18 +0100
