Fight VIRUS with Enzymes from pineapple and papaya, baking soda, alkaline food, calcium and magnesium from whole foods

A virus cannot be killed using antibiotics. Those medications are meant to slay bacteria, which are a whole different class of critter altogether. Viruses cannot be felled by using herbs, colostrum, or any of the popular multi level marketing products touted as being immune enhancer’s and germ fighters. The nastier viruses will not succumb to extremes in body temperature either fever or cold. In short viruses are perfect weapons because they can’t easily be done away with.

Why, you ask is it so difficult to overcome a virus? What makes it so special that they can survive vaccines, poisons, sulfa drugs, antibiotics, herbs and most anything else science can think of throwing at them? Lets look into what it takes to be a virus and see what makes them tick.

Your complete DNA sequence will help shape the future of medicine

Viruses live by a certain code of laws known as Koch’s postulates. There are suppositions based on observations of the behavior of germs. First let’s say that a virus is the one of the smallest bits of stuff our bodies can react to. Just as a for instance: if you dropped a bacteria on a piece of unglazed china, that bacteria is so big that it would get caught in the pores of the porcelain. A virus on the other hand is so small that it would fall right through the pores and get through to the other side of the dish! A bacteria is a living thing, it has a life span it eats, it poops, and has sex (with your DNA), and so it reproduces. Once it gets old a bacteria dies. Not so with a virus. A virus is not technically a living thing. Viruses have no life span; they can become dormant when sneezed onto a pile of dirt. Forty years or so down the road when a wind blows fragments of that dirt bearing the tiny virus into someone’s nose, the bugger will become active again!

Every virus you’ve ever acquired either from exposure or injection (like the polio shot), is “alive” and well and sleeping next to your spinal chord! A recent issue of the Lancet, the prestigious journal of the British Medical Association, reported that out of 140 patients with chronic lower back pain, 114 of them had viruses that had migrated from where they were “sleeping” and had seeped into the injury, causing chronic inflammatory conditions. Many folks are familiar with Chicken Pox coming back to haunt seniors with suppressed immune systems as the disease of Shingles (Herpes Zoster), or as it’s extremely painful and potentially deadly cousin Herpatic Neuralgia (permanent nerve pain caused by the Herpes). Many of the viruses we were injected with as children in the good faith effort to keep us from getting infections have come back to haunt us in later life.

Many doc’s now believe that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibro Myalgia are nothing more than Post Polio Syndrome in those who received the live cell (mildly active strain) polio oral inoculation instead of the dead (chopped to pieces) Salk vaccine! Pointing to the correlation between the brain swelling and 30 some odd common symptoms that occur in Polio, Post Polio Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, the English medical establishment calls Chronic Fatigue “Myalgia Encephalitis” (muscle pain with brain swelling) to denote the connection of these three diseases. Here in the States the liability issues for doc’s, governments and drug companies are too great for anyone in the medical establishment here to admit a connection between the live virus vaccine and the later onset of debilitating disease.
A virus comes to life so to speak when an active virus (one with an intact exterior protein coating) comes in contact with your bodies’ cells. When they touch that exterior coating forms a connection to our cells called an Isoprin bond. Through that connection the virus latches onto our DNA (yes a virus IS that small) and it begins to spin off reproductions of itself in great big speedy numbers (viral load). Remember about that isoprin bond, it will become really important to us in a moment.

Viruses are constantly, mutating with some viruses changing faster than other strains. That change in its genetic form makes it almost impossible to formulate any kind of vaccine that will make one immune to some viruses. The ones that mutate the most, like the flu and HIV, look very different this year than they looked last year and they are almost unrecognizable to most eyes from the strains had a decade or two ago. (That’s also why last years flu bug in this years flu shot are nearly always useless. The only one’s gaining a benefit from the shots are the vaccine companies).

So with all that background is there anything we can do when to not let those little bits of genetic material procreate inside of us? Let’s look in to the research that’s been done here in the States and in Europe.

As I stated before, viruses mutate. So building an anti-virus vaccine for one bug might not have much of an effect on it brother two or three generations down the road. So that line of thinking is of waste of time. The vaccine companies will argue with me but no less an agency than the US Office of Naval Research has agreed with me. They are following an entirely different track – protein eating (proteolytic) enzymes. Yep, the same things that control your digestion, clean your laundry and are your bodies first line of defense in:

• Fighting Inflammation. (1).
• Eating Fibrosis and scar tissue. (2).
• Modulating Immune Function. (3).
• Cleaning the Blood, (4).
• Enzymes can also be the first line of defense against a virus!

Those proteolytic enzymes do a number on the all-important exterior protein coating of the virus. They eat it! Remember the virus is active as long as it’s coating is in tact. What happens when a virus cannot complete and Isoprin bond? Well, simply it becomes inert – harmless!

The doc’s in the Office of Naval Research know that it would be impossible to make up new anti-viral vaccines as fast as a) the bad guys can make new bugs or b) as fast as the virus itself can mutate. So to cover all of the bases instead of going after the particular genetic coding a virus may have, they are going after the thing that allows that bugger to replicate, it’s coating!
In research against viruses, systemic enzymes have been found to greatly reduce the viral load by rendering the little guys inert.

The trick to having enzymes work is to take enough of them. Some 5 to 10 tablets 3 times a day! Why so many tablets? Enzymes are huge and you with the molecular weight of enzymes ranging from 24,000 to 36,000 Daltons. For comparison vitamin c has a molecular weight of 6! Those facts make one have to take more of the tablets to have the anti-viral effect. Enzymes are non-toxic (no LD-50 exists). The US Defense Department is now bringing a prescription systemic enzyme preparation through FDA approval for fighting viruses. We don’t have to wait for that. There are already hundreds of systemic enzyme products in the natural health community. MD’s as well as alternative docs are flocking to these products because of the strength and speed of their various actions. The usual dose for fighting viruses is 5 capsules 3 times a day. Since there is no toxic level for enzymes more can be taken if needed.

So much for enzymes, what else can one take to “kill” viruses? Oxygen! The air we breathe does not contain a strong enough concentration of O2 to do in these bugs. Due to pollution, lack of deep breathing (from to lack of exercise), due to lots of factors, the 21% concentration of O2 in the air and 90% or less concentration of O2 in our blood is not enough to singe viruses. First, let’s explain two things. First – all disease states and what precipitates them are anaerobic, that means the bad guys inside us do not live on oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is dependent on glycogen for life not oxygen. In other words viruses, bacteria and cancers all breathe blood sugar. When these nasties are exposed to high concentrations of O2 they “burn” and die. (7,8).

Point #2. All disease states need or do best in an acidic internal body environment. You innards are composed of salt water at a 0.9 concentration. Your blood, your lymphatic fluid, your tears – all salt water. Salt water is basic, that is the opposite of an acid. From our hectic, stressful, junk air junk food, run run lifestyles we are all mostly acidic inside. Some of us are SO acidic that we can tarnish gold jewelry! The ancients disinfected a wound with salt so that no bugs could grow in it; they had increased that tissues alkalinity. In so doing they took away the environment bugs could live and grow in. If we increase our pH back to normal (alkaline) then between that and having a high O2 concentration in our blood and tissues we have created a terrain within us that bugs cannot live or grow in. (9).

OK, where do I get the oxygen from and how do I get alkaline? First the oxygen. It comes out of a little bottle and it’s called Stabilized Oxygen. For prevention mix 10 drops in a glass of water and drink this mixture 2 to 3 times a day. When exposed to or actually fighting off a bug, use 20 to 30 drops in a glass of water 4 times a day. There are no side effects to the O2 release this nifty liquid produces in our blood and tissues. Your O2 percentage in the blood will increase 3 to 5 % in just 5 minuets or less!

Next we get to becoming alkaline. Many of you remember that I used to recommend coral calcium for this. My disappointment with coral calcium has been monumental. In the near decade since I advocated the use of coral calcium I have discovered that the goodness of it has been diluted by plain old calcium carbonate (the ingredient in TUMS). Seems the real coral calcium is VERY expensive and diluting it with a good bit of calcium carbonate is a way at lowering the cost while maintaining the profit margin. We also have the outlandish claims made by one coral calcium advocate that I could not stand or support so I dropped my support for the coral like you’d get rid of a live grenade.

For now, even with all of the supposed ways health food stores have to make the body alkaline, I’ve gone back to what we did with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia patients, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water 3 to 4 times daily. Aside from that the best way I know of to alkalinize is to drink the 8 pH lithium and magnesium rich Crazy Water from Mineral Wells Texas. Also, products called Gingera or Brioschi will do the trick nicely.

These anti-viral techniques have worked well for the researchers and patients who have used them. In my own experience I have been susceptible to lung infections since child hood and could set my yearly clock by when I caught bronchitis or had full blown pneumonia each and every winter since I was an infant. For 4 years straight I had not come down with either bronchitis or pneumonia. As a matter of fact I haven’t even caught so much as a cold! I have even flown long distances next to passengers overcome with the flu who were coughing, sneezing and suffering with a heavy fever and chills. I did not catch so much as a sniffle, these techniques so well!

These insane days viruses seem to be everywhere. New bugs are infecting man all the time, and we live in fear of some terrorist releasing a deadly viral concoction on us all; we need the tools to defend our health and the health and well being of those we love. Conventional medicine offers no hope against viruses. Using the combination of internal terrain altering with ample oxygenation, high enzymes and slick coatings most of us can avoid viruses latching on to us in the first place or fight them off handily if they’ve already found a home in us.

Pollution harms the heart, may increase obesity, affects the brain of growing fetus

Bad air means bad health, but just how harmful can pollution be to your heart? And exactly how do pollutants weaken the heart? The Beijing Olympics provides a clue.

Researchers reporting in the Journal of the American Medical Association provide the first evidence that even over the span of a few weeks or months, air pollution can affect key markers of heart health, including blood pressure and levels of enzymes and other proteins that track the viability of blood vessels. And they provide a window into how poor air quality can affect blood vessels and body processes that promote disease.

Although many studies have raised the alarm about the connection between pollution and an increased rate of heart attack and stroke, these analyses have suffered from one key weakness: how could the researchers know for sure that the rise in heart problems was primarily driven by pollution and not some other factor?

(MORE: Exposure to Air Pollution in Pregnancy May Boost Chances of Obesity in Kids)

So when the Chinese government committed to cleaning up the air in Beijing prior to the Olympic Games in 2008, scientists saw a unique opportunity to study how such a change might affect key heart health factors. The idea was to track changes in these markers before, during and after the Games.

(MORE:  Airing Out Beijing)

Beginning about two months before the Olympics, a team of researchers led by Junfeng (Jim) Zhang, professor of global and environmental health at the University of Southern California, recruited 128 medical students to provide blood samples. The specimens were tested for about 20 well-known markers of heart disease. These included proteins and enzymes related to inflammation, such as C-reactive protein, and substances associated with blood clotting, including fibrinogen and von Willenbrand factor; the scientists also took the participants’ blood pressure and measured their white blood cell counts. The post-Olympic period extended to about a month beyond the Games, when normal traffic patterns and presumably average air pollution levels began to rise again to pre-Games levels.

(MORE: The 10 Most Air-Polluted Cities in the U.S.)

Indeed, during the Olympics, the researchers recorded a 60% drop in sulfur dioxide, a 48% reduction in carbon monoxide and a 43% lower nitrogen dioxide level from the pre-Olympic period to the period spanning the Games. At the same time, they recorded changes in the levels of some of the inflammatory and clotting factors; they tended to drop when air quality was improved during the Games and increase as pollution levels rose again after the Olympics. Heart rates on average came down about 1 beat per minute in the pre-Olympics to during-Olympics period, while systolic blood pressure dropped by about 2mm Hg during the same time.

“This study shows that among healthy young people with no confounding factors such as being sick, [there are] changes that pollution can make day to day,” says Zhang. “Among healthy people, these markers should be pretty stable; blood pressure should not increase daily. But we see these changes, and we know that during the Olympics, air pollution was reduced. So this really affects young people. If we detect these changes in the young, imagine how harmful pollution is to the ones who have compromised hearts, or the elderly who might be more sensitive to pollutants.”

(MOREMom’s Exposure to Air Pollution Can Increase Kids’ Behavior Problems)

What particularly surprised Zhang and his colleagues was how revealing the results were regarding the effect of pollution on the heart. While many studies have pointed the finger at inflammation, which can aggravate blood vessels and generate unstable plaque that can rupture, the current study also shows that blood clotting might be another way that bad air can damage the heart. With more pollution, the researchers saw higher levels of clotting factors such as fibrinogen, which can build up and occlude blood vessels, setting the stage for a heart attack.

With a deeper understanding of how pollutants are harming the heart, Zhang says policy makers should have a stronger appreciation for how important clean air regulation is for health. “We should encourage people to drive less,” he says. “In a big city like Beijing, that’s an important public policy message. I hope this study sends out that message.”

Best drugstore Meds for Men and Women

There’s safety in the prescription pad: Doctor’s orders remove all doubt about which pill to pop. But without the chicken scratch on that scrip to guide you, do you know which meds are best?

More than 100,000 are available over the counter and contain over 1,000 active ingredients—which you probably ignore. In fact, a new Northwestern University study reveals that 59 percent of people don’t always check the contents of their OTC drugs. “Most people shop by symptom, not ingredient,” says study author Michael Wolf, Ph.D., M.P.H.

It’s time to stop buying blind. We asked Men’s Health writer Paige Greenfield to hit the drugstore, talk to the experts, and decode the labels. Below are the best over-the-counter remedies for 8 of your most common symptoms. Check out the complete list here: The 20 Best Over-the-Counter Medicines.

ALLERGIES

Your OTC solution: Loratadine
Try: Claritin

Allegra, Claritin, and Zyrtec are equally effective at fighting allergy symptoms. But Claritin still wins by a nose, says Lauren Schlesselman, Pharm.D., a pharmacy professor at the University of Connecticut. Zyrtec can make you sleepy, and while both Claritin and Allegra are labeled “non-drowsy,” Claritin is slightly less likely to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause sleepiness. Dose up daily at the same time to keep blood levels steady. Sinus pain? Opt for Claritin-D.

CHEST CONGESTION

Your OTC solution: Guaifenesin
Try: Mucinex

Feel like rubber cement is coating your lungs? Grab guaifenesin. This ingredient thins mucus, making it easier to expel, and may even halt mucus production. Take the maximum number of doses for 3 or 4 days, even if you feel better, says W. Steven Pray, Ph.D., D.Ph., a professor of pharmacy at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. But skip guaifenesin/cough suppressant combos; these make it tough for you to expel thinned out mucus, say Wake Forest University researchers.

DANDRUFF

Your OTC solution: Ketoconazole
Try: Nizoral A-D

If it snows wherever you go, you can blame a fungus called Pityrosporum ovale. Change the forecast with Nizoral A-D, the only nonprescription shampoo that contains the anti-fungal ketoconazole, says Pray. Just limit your lathering to once every 3 days; any more can cause irritation. The rest of the time, Pray recommends shampooing with Head & Shoulders, which contains zinc pyrithione, a compound that slows the shedding of skin cells on your scalp.

DRY COUGH

Your OTC solution: Dextromethorphan
Try: Delsym

To quell a cough, you need to target your brain, not your lungs. “Dextromethorphan acts on your brain’s medulla to raise the cough threshold, so it requires more irritation to produce a cough,” says Stefanie Ferreri, Pharm.D., a pharmacy professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. To avoid hacking at 2 a.m., take the extended-release stuff—it lasts for up to 12 hours. Take it with honey to boost saliva production and lubricate your airway, suggest British scientists.

ACID REFLUX

Your OTC solution: Immediate-Release Omeprazole
Try: Zegerid

Apparently all acid-reflux drugs must begin with a P or a Z: Prilosec OTC, Prevacid, Zantac. Now there’s Zegerid, possibly zee best yet. It contains a quick-release form of the omeprazole found in Prilosec OTC. Taken before breakfast, it was more effective than lansoprazole (Prevacid) at quelling acid over 24 hours, a Northwestern University study found. A word of caution: Zegerid has 304 milligrams of sodium per pill, so if you have to restrict your salt, stick with Prilosec.

INSOMNIA

Your OTC solution: Doxylamine
Try: Unisom SleepTabs

Insomnia doesn’t have to keep you up at night. First, try these natural remedies: 6 Foods that Will Help You Sleep Better Tonight! But if they don’t work, pop an antihistamine. Benadryl and other diphenhydramine-based drugs can help you drift off; however, the antihistamine doxylamine is more sedating. Plus, it’s less likely to cause “paradoxical wakefulness,” when your sleeping pill leaves you wide awake, says W. Christopher Winter, M.D., the Men’s Health sleep advisor. Take a 25-milligram tab about a half hour before bedtime, he says.

PAIN & FEVER

Your OTC solution: Ibuprofen
Try: Advil

Whether you need it for pain or fever, ibuprofen has the edge on acetaminophen, a 2010 Wake Forest University review concluded. It also beats out other NSAIDs; aspirin is now recommended almost exclusively for cardio protection. And while Dr. Schlesselman suggests limiting naproxen (Aleve) to once every 12 hours, you can swallow ibuprofen every 4 hours, reducing the chance of between-dose pain. Ibuprofen may trigger GI trouble, so always pop your pill with a meal.

HEARTBURN

Your OTC solution: Calcium Carbonate
Try: Caltrate

Most heartburn meds will douse the flames in your esophagus, but at what cost? Calcium carbonate rapidly neutralizes stomach acid with fewer side effects than sodium bicarbonate (Alka-Seltzer), which can cause gas and bloating, or magnesium hydroxide (Maalox), which can cause diarrhea. Dr. Schlesselman recommends chewing the tablets thoroughly and then chugging a glass of water to help them dissolve.

Red wine, resveratrol, an important Alzheimer’s Disease protection

Alzheimer’s Disease is an irreversible brain (memory) disease, brain cancer. Use your brain or lose it is a common phrase. It is genetically linked and more prevalente in women. It starts with mild dementia, memory and behaviour problem.  Drinking red wine can be a protection against Alzheimer’s Disease.

During the next 12 months, Sessions of Gaithersburg, Md., will make 10 visits to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., one of 26 sites nationwide affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study. Participants will be given either a placebo or capsules of pure resveratrol, found in the skin of red grapes, tomatoes, dark chocolate and nuts. Studies on non-humans have shown it activitates a gene that protects the body and brain from aging. The greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s is aging. Researchers will do baseline tests to identify biological markers of the disease and then other tests to determine if it is progressing.

Testicles Of Yogurt-Eating Mice Shown Bigger, And Researchers Credit Probiotics

Lab_mouse_mg_3135Last sum­mer a team of researchers from the Massa­chusetts Institute of Technology set out to better understand the effects of yogurt on obesity. They were following up on the results of a long-term study from the Harvard School of Public Health that had suggested yogurt, more than any other food, helped to prevent age-related weight gain. The M.I.T. team, led by cancer biologist Susan Erdman and evolutionary geneticist Eric Alm, wanted to replicate the work in mice. The researchers took a group of 40 males and 40 females and either fed the animals a high-fat, low-fiber, low-nutrient diet meant to mimic junk food or fed them standard mouse meals. They then supple­mented half of each diet group with vanilla-flavored yogurt.

Their goal was to understand how a probiotic diet affects rates of obesity and its related compli­ca­tions, including cancer. But “the most entertaining aspects of all this were things we didn’t anticipate,” Erdman says.

First, the scientists noticed that the yogurt-eating mice were incredibly shiny. Using both traditional histology techniques and cosmetic rating scales, the researchers showed that these animals had 10 times the active follicle density of other mice, resulting in luxuriantly silky fur.

Then the researchers spotted some­thing particular about the males: they projected their testes outward, which endowed them with a certain “mouse swagger,” Erdman says. On measuring the males, they found that the testicles of the yogurt consumers were about 5 percent heavier than those of mice fed typical diets alone and around 15 percent heavier than those of junk-eating males.

More important, that masculinity pays off. In mating experiments, yogurt-eating males inseminated their partners faster and produced more offspring than control mice. Conversely, females that ate the yogurt diets gave birth to larger litters and weaned those pups with greater success. Reflecting on their unpublished results, Erdman and Alm think that the probiotic microbes in the yogurt help to make the animals leaner and healthier, which indirectly improves sexual machismo.

The findings could have implications for human fertility. In ongoing work, a team led by Harvard nutritional epidemiologist Jorge Chavarro has looked at the association between yogurt intake and semen quality in men. “So far our preliminary findings are consistent with what they see in the mice,” Chavarro says.

Sleep at night to lose weight, soak in bath with EPSOM salt

Sleep at night to lose weight, soak in bath with EPSOM salt (magnesium helps us relax) and drink the berries especially acai berries.
Shift workers getting too little sleep at the wrong time of day may be increasing their risk of diabetes and obesity, according to researchers (source: Inland Empire News Apr 12, 2012).  Our body synthesizes cholesterol during the night. We need to follow the natural rhythm of our body of sleeping during the night for so many natural reasons.  What I learned when I was studying nurse midwifery in 1998 is that our body’s natural rhythm should coincide with the time we sleep and time we synthesize cholesterol in our body. Our hormonal production is powered by the rhythm of night and day in our bodies, especially women.

So, take a nap when your body tells you to and sleep during the night and work during the day.  As we age, we have irregular sleep patterns because of decreasing melatonin in our brain. Feed your brain, sleep during the night, work during the day and exercise before going to bed. Take your calcium and magnesium supplement hours before going to bed. These nutrients are important to 90% of our body cells.

Where do we stand on our fight against cancer causing substances?

We keep adding a list of these carcinogens or toxins each year. We have produced and manufactured foods in the factory in greater quantities and have to rely on so many chemicals.  Educating the public about the hazards of these carcinogens is very slow and tricky.  We have seen an increase in number of women with hysterectomies and breast/ovarian cancers. And we also have seen an increase in autism and Alzheimer’s disease.

We have to educate the public to:

  1. Wash vegtables and fruits (pesticide laden) with salt water or diluted vinegar.
  2. Stay away from toxic substances at home, preserved and packaged foods, materials in our foods, chemicals in our environment and other hidden toxins.
  3. Eat more fiber in the hopes that fiber can encapsulate the fat, sugar and toxins out of our bodies.
  4. Use organic, whole foods and less preserved food and more in its natural form.
  5. Live in a city that is not polluted and with well controlled hazardous substances to man and the environment.
  6. Stay at normal weight, reduce excess fat and excessive use of medications or drugs, even cosmetics and hair dyes.
  7. Walk our talk at home and in the community we live. Educate others.

Most toxic substances are substances that are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. These are substances that do not easily break down, instead they build up in nature and in the fatty tissue of mammals, with a potential to cause serious and long-term irreversible effects. The more fat we have in our body, the more our body is susceptible to storing carcinogens.  We hope that the recent research on the number of gene expressions related to cancer can shed light to how our body or personalized medicine can combat cancer.

Today, many women have hysterectomies and other form of reproductive cancer.  From the P65 list (created from 1987 to present, updated yearly), a total of 867 substances are listed as carcinogenic for reproductive and developmental health of growing embryo with 546 of these chemicals as specific contributor to cancer.  In 2011, there are 26 added carcinogens from the P65 list.

The following are a short list of carcinogens or toxins to man and the environment.

Obesity and Autism

Women who are obese and/or have diabetes or high blood pressure during pregnancy may be about 60% more likely to have babies with autism, a new study suggests. While the new research points to an association between mom’s health during pregnancy and autism, it’s important to note that “we can’t really draw causal links,” says researcher Paula Krakowiak. She is a PhD candidate in epidemiology at the University of California, Davis.

Styroform

A 1988 survey published by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education also found styrene in human fatty tissue with a frequency of 100% at levels from 8 to 350 nanograms/gram (ng/g). The 350 ng/g level is one third of levels known to cause neurotoxic symptoms.[5] determined that Styrofoam drinking leach Styrofoam into the liquids they contain. The cups apparently lose weight during the time they are at use. The studies showed that tea with lemon produced the most marked change in the weight of the foam cup

“Polystyrene Fact Sheet,” Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education, Los Angeles, California.

According to a Foundation for Achievements in Science and Education fact sheet, long term exposure to small quantities of styrene can cause neurotoxic (fatigue, nervousness, difficulty sleeping), hematological (low platelet and hemoglobin values), cytogenetic (chromosomal and lymphatic abnormalities), and carcinogenic effects.[1,2] In 1987, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France, reclassified styrene from a Groups 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity) to a Group 2B substance (possibly carcinogenic to humans).

Although there is evidence that styrene causes cancer in animals, it has not yet been proven to cause cancer in humans. Styrene primarily exhibits its toxicity to humans as a neurotoxin by attacking the central and peripheral nervous systems. The accumulation of these highly lipid-soluble (fat-soluble) materials in the lipid-rich tissues of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves is correlated with acute or chronic functional impairment of the nervous system.

For example, women exposed to low concentrations of styrene vapors in the workplace are known to have a variety of neurotoxic and menstrual problems. A Russian study of 110 women exposed to styrene vapors at levels about 5 mg/m3 demonstrated menstrual disorders, particularly perturbations of the menstrual cycle and a hypermenorrhea (unusually heavy flow of menses during the menstrual cycle) syndrome. Styrene- exposed women often suffered from metabolic disturbances occurring during pregnancy.

The root cause of the build up of the toxin, styerene, is not the answer to our problem but the protection of our bodies against the onslaught of these toxins is far more important. Can a strong immune system help? What about lifestyle changes?

Dioxins

Dioxins are a group of chemicals that form as unwanted byproducts from incomplete burning of household and industrial waste. They also can be produced during bleaching of paper pulp and the manufacture of certain chlorinated chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated phenols, chlorinated benzene and certain pesticides. Exhaust from vehicles, forest fires, and burning wood also releases dioxins into the air. Very small amounts of dioxins, that are not considered harmful, are present in bleached paper products including facial or toilet tissue, paper towels, and disposable diapers.

Dioxin exposure can cause a severe skin condition called chloracne, which results in small, pale yellow skin lesions that may last from weeks to years. Dioxins can cause short-term liver effects without any visible symptoms. Studies of people exposed to high levels of dioxins through occupation, accidents or military service do not suggest that adverse health affects will occur at low levels in the environment. A large historical study suggested workers exposed to dioxins for many years had increased cancer rates. However, other environmental factors may be related to the cancer. Studies have shown that reproductive, immune and nervous systems of the developing fetus and children are more susceptible to dioxins.

In animal studies, dioxins have caused nerve damage, birth defects, increased rates of miscarriages and changes to the immune system. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified dioxins as a probablehuman carcinogen (cancer causing chemical), there is not sufficient evidence to prove that dioxins cause cancer from exposure to the low levels normally found in the environment. One dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), is listed as a known human carcinogen and all the others as probable human carcinogens.

PCBs

In 1999, the draft Fox River clean-up proposal included a local cancer risk assessment for recreational anglers and subsistence anglers due primarily to consumption of fish containing PCBs. Using fish concentration data from 1990 on (and Walleye data from 1989 in Green Bay), the cancer risks were as high as 1.1 in a 100 for recreational anglers, and 1 in 67 for subsistence anglers. These risks are more than 1,000 times greater than the standard 1-in-a-million cancer risk level used by Wisconsin to regulate hazardous waste sites. These risks are 23 times higher than the cancer risks from fish-eating from Lake Winnebago, which the DNR considers a background level for PCBs (though it’s clear that Lake Winnebago fish are also contaminated.)

Hazardous House Cleaners

In 1990, more than 4,000 toddlers under age four were admitted to hospital emergency rooms as a result of household cleaner-related injuries. That same year, 18,000 pesticide-related hospital emergency room admissions were reported with almost three-fourths for children age fourteen and under.

Methylene chloride, the propellant used in many aerosol products, is carcinogenic. Some products containing methylene chloride have been pulled from the market, but the carcinogen continues to be found in many consumer products such as spray paint and stripper.

 Cosmetic Toxins

Not a single cosmetic company warns consumers of the presence of carcinogens in its products – despite the fact that a number of common cosmetic ingredients are carcinogenic or carcinogenic precursors.

Some experts estimate that 20 percent of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases among women are attributable to their use of hair dyes.

Tobacco and tobacco smoke

Tobacco smoke is a major source of human exposure to polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons (PAHs). The concentration of PAHs in lung tissue would reflect an individual’s dose, and its variation could perhaps reflect cancer risk. Eleven PAHs were measured in 70 lung tissue samples from cancer-free autopsy donors by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. There were 37 smokers and 33 nonsmokers as estimated by serum cotinine concentration. The sum of PAH concentrations was higher in smokers (P = 0.01), and there was a dose-response relationship for greater smoking (P < 0.01).

Smoking increased the concentration of five PAHs including benzo(a)pyrene, which increased ∼2-fold. The risk for increasing carcinogenic PAHs (odds ratio, 8.20; 95% confidence interval, 2.39–28.09) was 3-fold compared with noncarcinogenic PAHs (odds ratio, 2.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.75–9.12). A higher concentration of PAHs was detected in the lung tissue of males, although the estimated smoking was similar in males and females. Race was not associated with PAH concentrations overall, but PAH concentrations appeared to be higher in African-American males than in any other group. Age was weakly correlated with an increase in fluoranthene and pyrene. The measurement of PAHs in human lung tissue can be used to estimate the actual dose to the target organ.

More of us are relying on food containing endocrine disruptive chemicals such as synthetic hormones in meat, eggs and milk.

Sugar (High fructose corn syrup) and our Liver

The fructose component of sugar and H.F.C.S. is metabolized primarily by the liver, while the glucose from sugar and starches is metabolized by every cell in the body. Consuming sugar (fructose and glucose) means more work for the liver than if you consumed the same number of calories of starch (glucose). And if you take that sugar in liquid form — soda or fruit juices — the fructose and glucose will hit the liver more quickly than if you consume them, say, in an apple (or several apples, to get what researchers would call the equivalent dose of sugar). The speed with which the liver has to do its work will also affect how it metabolizes the fructose and glucose.

In animals, or at least in laboratory rats and mice, it’s clear that if the fructose hits the liver in sufficient quantity and with sufficient speed, the liver will convert much of it to fat. This apparently induces a condition known as insulin resistance, which is now considered the fundamental problem in obesity, and the underlying defect in heart disease and in the type of diabetes, type 2, that is common to obese and overweight individuals. It might also be the underlying defect in many cancers.

Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?pagewanted=all

However, further analysis within the Nurses’ Health Study indicates that there may be an association between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, other than fruit juices, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in women, possibly by providing excessive calories and large amounts of rapidly absorbable sugars (Schulze, 2004).

Reactive carbonyls also are elevated in the blood of individuals with diabetes and linked to the complications of that disease. Based on the study data, Ho estimates that a single can of soda contains about five times the concentration of reactive carbonyls than the concentration found in the blood of an adult person with diabetes.

Ho and his associates also found that adding tea components to drinks containing HFCS may help lower the levels of reactive carbonyls. The scientists found that adding epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound in tea, significantly reduced the levels of reactive carbonyl species in a dose-dependent manner when added to the carbonated soft drinks studied. In some cases, the levels of reactive carbonyls were reduced by half, the researchers say.

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals

There is growing interest in the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which are substances in our environment, food, and consumer products that interfere with hormone biosynthesis, metabolism, or action resulting in a deviation from normal homeostatic control or reproduction. In this first Scientific Statement of The Endocrine Society, we present the evidence that endocrine disruptors have effects on male and female reproduction, breast development and cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrinology, thyroid, metabolism and obesity, and cardiovascular endocrinology. Results from animal models, human clinical observations, and epidemiological studies converge to implicate EDCs as a significant concern to public health.

The mechanisms of EDCs involve divergent pathways including (but not limited to) estrogenic, antiandrogenic, thyroid, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, retinoid, and actions through other nuclear receptors; steroidogenic enzymes; neurotransmitter receptors and systems; and many other pathways that are highly conserved in wildlife and humans, and which can be modeled in laboratory in vitro and in vivo models.

Furthermore, EDCs represent a broad class of molecules such as organochlorinated pesticides and industrial chemicals, plastics and plasticizers, fuels, and many other chemicals that are present in the environment or are in widespread use.

We make a number of recommendations to increase understanding of effects of EDCs, including enhancing increased basic and clinical research, invoking the precautionary principle, and advocating involvement of individual and scientific society stakeholders in communicating and implementing changes in public policy and awareness.

Asbestos

From the 53 list, let’s take a look at asbestos.  Asbestos has been classified as a known human carcinogen (a substance that causes cancer) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the EPA, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (2, 3, 7, 8). Studies have shown that exposure to asbestos may increase the risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma (a relatively rare cancer of the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen). Although rare, mesothelioma is the most common form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure. In addition to lung cancer and mesothelioma, some studies have suggested an association between asbestos exposure and gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers, as well as an elevated risk for cancers of the throat, kidney, esophagus, and gallbladder (3, 4). www.cancer.gov

Alzheimer’s Disease Diet and supplements

DIET
The incidence of AD is lower in countries whose citizens have a diet that is lower in fats and calories. There have been a few reports that a diet rich with fish improves mental function in patients with AD or dementia. AD patients treated with essential fatty acids showed greater improvement in mood and mental function than patients on placebo. Because of its disease-preventing properties, red wine in moderation may be beneficial to AD patients.

VITAMIN E

Studies have shown that AD patients have lower blood levels of vitamin E than age matched control subjects. A large, two year study of moderately affected AD patients found that taking 2,000 IU of vitamin E daily significantly delayed disease progression as compared to patients taking placebo. This delay was equivalent to that seen with patients taking the drug selegiline. Vitamin E is also thought to delay AD onset. High levels of vitamin E put the patient at higher risk for bleeding disorders.

THIAMINE (VITAMIN B1)
Several small studies to determine the effectiveness of thiamine (vitamin B1) on AD have been carried out. Daily doses of 3 g for two to three months have improved mental function and AD assessment scores. Other studies have shown that thiamine had no effect on AD patients. Side effects include nausea and indigestion.

COBALAMIN (VITAMIN B12)

Although results are conflicting, some studies have found that AD patients have lower levels of cobalamin (vitamin B12) than others. Some studies have shown that cobalamin supplementation improves memory and mental function in AD patients whereas other studies have found no effect.

ACETYL-L-CARNITINE
Acetyl-L-carnitine is similar in structure to the neurotransmitter acetyl-choline. Studies have shown that 2 g or 3 g of acetyl-L-carnitine daily slows the progression of AD, especially in patients who developed the disease before age 66. Patients who developed disease after 66 years of age worsened with treatment. Side effects include increased appetite, body odor, and rash.

DHEA
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid hormone. There may be a link between decreasing levels of DHEA in the elderly and development of AD. Studies on the effect, if any, of DHEA on AD are needed. Side effects include acne, hair growth, irritability, insomnia, headache, and menstrual irregularity.
MELATONIN. Melatonin is a hormone that helps to regulate mood and sleep cycles. The effect of melatonin treatment on AD is unknown but it may be beneficial in regulating sleep cycles. The usual dose is 3 mg taken one to two hours before bedtime. Side effects are drowsiness, confusion, headache, decreased sex drive, and decreased body temperature

Herbals and Chinese medicine
GINKGO
Gingko, the extract from the Ginkgo biloba tree is the most commonly used herbal treatment for AD. Several studies have been performed to test the effectiveness of ginkgo for treating AD. The dose range studied were 120–160 mg daily divided into three doses. Although results have been mixed, the evidence suggests that ginkgo is an effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate AD. Side effects are not common but include headache, allergic skin reaction, and gastrointestinal disturbance. Ginkgo also decreases blood coagulation. Individuals with coagulation or platelet disorders should use extreme caution and consult a physician before using ginkgo.

PHYTOESTROGENS
Phytoestrogens may be beneficial in the treatment of AD based on the findings that women with AD who are on hormone replacement therapy have improved mental function and mood. Estrogens may prevent AD, therefore, phytoestrogens may have the same effect. Phytoestrogens are mainly found in soy products

CLUBMOSS
Huperzine A
is a compound isolated from clubmoss (Huperzia serrata). Studies have shown that taking 0.1–0.4 mg daily improves mental function in AD patients. Side effects are nausea, muscle cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Therapies
Music therapy has been shown to be effective in treating the depression, agitation, wandering, feelings of isolation, and memory loss associated with AD. AD patients have benefited from listening to favorite music or participating in musical activity. Participation in a music therapy group was more effective at improving memory and decreasing agitation than being part of a verbal (talking) group.
A wide variety of other therapies have been beneficial in the treatment of the psychologic symptoms of AD. These include:
• Light therapy in the evening to improve sleep cycle disturbances.
• Supportive therapy through touch, compliments, and displays of affection.
• Sensory stimulation through massage and aromatherapy.
• Socio-environmental therapies use activities fitted to previous interests, favorite foods, and pleasant surroundings.
• Cognitive therapy to reduce negative perceptions and learn coping strategies.
• Insight-oriented psychotherapy addresses the patient’s awareness of his or her disease.
• Dance therapy.
• Validation therapy.
• Reminiscence therapy.
• Reality-oriented therapy.

Walnuts prevents Breast cancer

Breast Cancer Risk Drops When Diet Includes Walnuts, Marshall University School of Medicine Study

9/6/2011 7:11:31 AM

The risk of breast cancer dropped significantly in mice when their regular diet included a modest amount of walnut, Marshall University researchers report in the journal Nutrition and Cancer. The study, led by Elaine Hardman, Ph.D., of Marshall’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, compared the effects of a typical diet and a diet containing walnuts across the lifespan: through the mother from conception through weaning, and then through eating the food directly. The amount of walnut in the test diet equates to about 2 ounces a day for humans.
