Stevia – the Best Sweetener on the Market

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:17:00 +0000

The South American herb stevia, which is used as a natural sweetener, has been called an "unsafe food additive" by the FDA.

Isn't that interesting. Yet the FDA still approves of aspartame and succralose as safe. You have been conned for years, maybe even decades. If you thought those friendly little blue, pink and yellow packets for sugar were safe, listen to this evidence.

Artificial sweeteners such as Splenda and Nutra-Sweet are NOT healthy or safe. You have been deceived about the truth behind artificial sweeteners, like aspartame and succralose for greed and profit without consideration of your health.

Stevia is a non-caloric herb native to Paraguay and it has been used as a sweetener for over 1500 years in South America. If anyone were doubting its safety, I would think this is a rather strong verification that it's safe.

Stevia has also been used in Japan since the early 1970's to sweeten pickles and other foods. In the United States, the FDA has turned down at least three industry requests to use stevia in foods.

Japan doesn't have to worry about the conflicts of interest as the U.S. does. Most of their research is not directly financed or greatly influenced by the very industry that is seeking to promote the product. So in this environment stevia has been proven to be safe.

Stevia has been the subject of searches and seizures, trade complaints and embargoes on importation to the United States. There are people who believe this is one way they believe FDA has of benefiting the artificial sweetener industry.

Unlike aspartame and other sweeteners, stevia is much safer because there are no dangerous toxicities. Stevia is hundreds of times sweeter and has virtually no calories.

The lies and deception with regular sweeteners is that they truly are loaded with other sugars to make them flow better.

Stevia can be used in appetizers, beverages, soups, salads, vegetables, desserts and virtually anything. It's the best alternative to sugar, as you will ever find. There is no doubt about it.

Even though it is safe, it's still a sweetener and diabetics should avoid it because it can decrease their sensitivity to insulin. But for anyone else, if you are going to sweeten your beverage or anything else, it's strongly urged you use stevia instead of other sweeteners.

Now getting back to other harmful sweeteners, here are some things you should know. A seven-year study on aspartame, (also known as Nutra-Sweet or Equal) has been linked to high rates of lymphomas, leukemia and other cancers in rats. The rats were given the equivalent of four or five bottles of diet soda a day for a human.

Dr. Morando Soffritti and his international team of researchers have been investigating the link between aspartame and leukemia for a number of years.

Last fall his long-term study is finally published and the news is as bad as you probably expected. More than 200 million people consume aspartame in their foods, drinks, vitamins and toothpaste, among other things.

Their exposure to it frequently begins in the womb, so there is simply no telling how massive the problem truly is. The evidence is quite compelling that artificial sweeteners are not good for you.

Leukemia is just one of more than 90 different related symptoms that have been documented in humans who ingest aspartame

Now let's talk about Splenda which is actually succralose. As you probably know Splenda is best known for it's marketing logo, "made from sugar so it taste like sugar."

Splenda has taken the sweetener industry by storm. It has become the nation's number one selling artificial sweetener in a very short period of time.

There is no question that Splenda starts off as a sugar molecule, it is what goes on in the factory that is concerning. Splenda (succralose) is a synthetic chemical that was originally cooked up in the laboratory.

In the five step potential process of making succralose, three chorine molecules are added to a sucrose or sugar molecule. A sucrose molecule is a disaccaride that contains two single sugars bound together, glucose and fructose.

The chemical process to make succralose alters the chemical composition of the sugar so much of it is somehow converted to a fructo-galactose molecule.

This type of sugar molecule does not occur in nature and therefore your body does not process the ability to properly metabolize it. As a result of this unique biochemical make up, McNeil Nutritionals makes it's claim that Splenda is not digested or metabolized by the body, making it have zero calories.

It is not that Splenda is naturally zero calories. If your body had the capacity to metabolize it, then it would no longer have zero calories.

There are people who have reported adverse reaction to Splenda that were formally studied in the research submitted for FDA approval. It would seem this collection of data is in some way superior to the data submitted to the FDA for Splenda approval.

Here's my question, why would you want to subject your body to any chemically modified product when you can have a natural product instead?

People must learn they need to be more vigilant of what they eat and what they drink if they want to have a healthy body. Take good care of it, folks, it's where you live everyday.

The Best Solution to your Poor Health

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:03:00 +0000

If you are not totally healthy now I will show you how to get healthy, stay healthy and live longer.

Today many people are trying to solve their illnesses and diseases with prescription drugs or some harmful treatments. It is totally unlikely that you will resolve your ailments this way.

By taking prescription drugs, you are doing more harm to your body than you are helping it. Here are 26 side effects that come with many prescription drugs currently on the market.

Drainage, crusting or oozing on your eyes or eyelids.
Swollen, black or hairy tongue
Changes in the shape or location of body fat
Decrease in testicle size
Sores or swellings in your rectal or genital area
Blue lips or fingernails
Purple spots on your skin
White patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips
Irregular back and forth movements of your eyes
Enlarged breasts in males
Usual risk taking behavior, no fear of danger
Extreme fear
Hallucinations, fainting coma
Fussiness, irritability, crying for an hour or longer
Paralysis
Thoracic Hematoms (bleeding into your chest)
A blood cot in your lung
Liver damage
Kidney damage
A lump in your breast
Decreased bone marrow function
Congestive heart failure
Shingles
Nerve pain lasting for several weeks or months
Bleeding that will not stop
Coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds

This is only a partial list of side effects. There are many more out there.

Every year, more than two million Americans suffer from adverse drug reactions. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these reactions cause about 100,000 deaths per year, making prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in this country.

How can it be that clinically tested FDA approved drugs that are suppose to cure diseases are ending up hurting, and in some cases killing, so many people?

It seems today that there are an awful lot of people being prescribed cholesterol drugs. These drugs are what they call "statin" drugs. There are at least 12 million Americans taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, mostly statins, and other recommendations are that another 23 million should be taking them.

You should be educated about these statin drugs because the are linked to many dangerous side effects. Here are the statin drugs currently available in the U.S. market:

. Lipitor – Pfizer

. Zocor – Merck

. Lescol – Novartis

. Mevacor – Merck

. Crestor – Astsa Zeneca

The truth is cholesterol is NOT the cause of heart disease. Yes this is a startling statement but it is true. One of the leading alternative physicians in the country, Dr. Ron Rosedale explains in it detail in a report too long for this article.

He actually explains how cholesterol plays a very vital role in our lives. They are really more helpful than harmful.

Statin drugs can actually increase your risk of heart disease because they deplete your body of Coenzyme Q10, which can lead to heart failure. These drugs have been linked to:

* Weakness

* Muscle aches

* An increase in cancer risk

* Immune system suppression

* Serious degenerative muscle tissue condition

* Potential increase in liver enzmes so patients must be monitored for normal liver functions

So if you do have high cholesterol, what do you do?

Well first realize that cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any other disease for that matter.

Cholesterol is a necessary part of every cell in your body, an it is an essential ingredient for healthy hormones.

Putting the right food and the right nutrients in your body is the proper way to keep your cholesterol in check. You have already seen what prescription drugs can do to your body.

Taking charge of your personal health is vitally important. Getting on a nutritional program that can automatically put your body on the right track will help you to be healthier, stay healthier and live longer. That's the best solution to your poor health. Until you realize that, you body will never be in a healthy condition.

Diabetes is Now Controllable and Preventable

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:44:00 +0000

Now before I get into how it's possible for diabetes to be controlled and preventable, let's first talk about what a disastrous disease it is.

As of now type 2 diabetes has killed 23 million people and pre-diabetes has killed 57 million people. It also affects one in four Americans too. There are also 6.2 million cases of diabetes undiagnosed.

The saddest story of all is that this horrible disease is moving down into our children and grandchildren now. That's never happened before. Ten years or more ago that was unheard of. Now kids as young as 5 years old are being diagnosed with the disease.

Not only is the disease bad enough in itself but by having it, increases the risk of heart disease and a host of other diseases too. Worst of all it's estimated by 2010 diabetes will be the number one killer overtaking heart disease and cancer.

When a person has diabetes, the pancreas can no longer control the body's blood sugar levels. So what causes this serious breakdown in the first place? Well weight plays a role and so does processed sugar. But that's not all. There is a lot more to it than that.

Some other outside factors that causes this breakdown is antibiotics, food preservatives and even chlorine, which reduces your ability to absorb food properly. Now when it comes to chlorine, it attacks your body on two fronts: your intestines and your pancreas.

Now here is something else to be concerned about. Diabetes affects the health of your eyes too. It could even be responsible for you going blind. But that's not the only thing that can cause that to happen.

Prescription drugs play a major role in eye health too. If you have eyelid drop, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, optic nerve damage, retina damage you can always suspect prescription drugs as the first cause of your problem.

So here you are now trying to solve your diabetes disease with prescription drugs and you create some more health problems.

It's reported that eight different drugs can cause complications with eye surgery, 25 can cause glaucoma, 15 can cause cataracts, 10 can damage your retina, and 6 can cause optic nerve damage.

While we are on this subject on prescription drugs let's talk about the one they have for diabetes called Avandia. It's suspected the drug may increase the risk of brittle bones and osteoporosis according to a new study conducted by researchers from the Salk Institute in LaJolla, California, and published in the journal, Nature Medicine.

Here's what we really have to be concerned about. Prescription drugs for any disease are not usually safe no matter if the FDA did approve them. But worst of all where the ingredients come from is really important too.

Here's what I have learned. The final drug product might be made in America, but that doesn't mean its ingredients are. In fact, most of the inactive ingredients don't come from the U.S.

Wouldn't this make you wonder what kinds of rules and regulations govern these operations? Here we have the FDA supposedly protecting us and even their seal of approval is usually respected by the general public and believed the drug to be safe.

See if this does not shock you somewhat. A huge 80 percent of all active pharmaceutical ingredients that are used by manufacturers here in America are imported, mostly from China.

But here is something more shocking than that. According to former FDA commission David Kessler, China is as close to an unregulated environment as you can get.

However if more people would finally wake up and realize they should not accept drugs as a cure for any illness or disease. The natural alternative way is the only answer to resolving an unhealthy condition.

The natural way is how diabetes can be controlled and prevented. A company I'm associated with, has now launched a new product that makes that possible. It is believed this product is the health breakthrough that people with this disease are going to be able to finally resolve.

A recent clinical trial that was conducted found that this product could reduce blood sugar levels by as much as 30%.

The eight-week clinical study has proved this product got even better results than first anticipated. No drug can stand up against this product for at least two good reasons.

First, there were no side effects experienced by anyone in the study and second, the cost factor is far less than the expense of any diabetes drug and the insulin needed.

Don't make any mistake about it, this product is going to save thousands of lives and get victims of this disease back to a healthy condition soon and forever.

Drugs Addiction Makes Me Sad and Mad

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 19:52:00 +0000

I'm sad and mad about drugs addiction and I'll tell you why, in just a little while.

For over four years now I have been searching the Internet and other sources for information on natural remedies to solve people's illnesses and diseases.

During that time I also wrote an ebook on how to be healthier in body and mind.

I've written articles on all kinds of health issues and submitted them to various directories. Now I even write for an international blog and submit three articles a week on all kind of health and fitness issues.

Recently I was introduced to a fantastic line of nutritional products that has helped people all over the world to solve their persistent health problems. Some of these health problems have, in some cases, been major health problems.

So I decided to start making people aware of these fantastic products. I chose a health forum I found on the Internet to spread the word of what these products would do to solve various health problems.

Well, I got the shock of my life when I started reading the sad stories of everyone's health problems. But the biggest shock was when I started reading stories of people addicted to alcohol, drugs like Adderall, Marijuana, Ridilin, pain pills and even prescription drugs I've never heard of.

These were some people as young as nineteen years old addicted, and they had even been addicted since they were thirteen years old.

Now I have to admit that these people got themselves into this mess by their own free will without using proper judgment. However when you are hurting in some way and nobody reaches out to help you, you may get so desperate that you seek out the wrong kind of help, which is usually a doctor visit or buying non prescription drugs or illegal drugs.

That's what made me sad. But what really makes me mad is the fact that the doctors who are prescribing these poisons to people, don't try to find the real cause of their problem. I believe following those kind of medical methods is as bad as someone murdering some body else.

And sometimes some people do die from this kind of medical nonsense. That's when the doctor should be arrested and put on trial and punished if found guilty.

To give you an idea how grave a problem I think this is, here's a few stories I would like to share with you. All these individuals are begging for someone to help them.

23 year old male student

He has been struggling with alcohol addiction and it's hard for him to escape the atmosphere. He says every time he turns around there's an opportunity to drink. He says he's been to AA but he can't keep it up. He is a college student but he's failing every semester in trying to achieve a degree in mechanical engineering.

43 year old male

He started taking Ritalin in 1976 when he was in the third grade. Now he is trying to stop, but is going through all kinds of withdrawal problems after being addicted to it for 30 years. On a trip recently after driving for three hours, he had to pull off the road and take a nap. That really scared him.

Wife and Mom in Florida

She has been taking pain pills off and on for four years. She gets sick of them, gets off them but eventually gets right back on them again. Her husband is supportive but hates she is taking them. However she doesn't know how to quit permanently.

34 year old husband and father

He has been a heavy pot smoker for the past ten years. He didn't always smoke every day but would smoke at least four days a week and then smoke a lot. It's causing him to have some bad thoughts, some even being suicidal thoughts.

British Columbia Student

She has been smoking marijuana as a teenager for roughly two years and does it almost everyday. She quit four years ago but has noticed her memory is terrible. Many times she needs to ask someone again to repeat what they have told her once before.

20 year old wife

Here's a case where a wife is trying to help her husband who has been addicted to codeine ever since he was hit by a car three years ago. He developed migraine headaches after that accident and that's what got him started on the drug.

She has changed his diet and encouraged him to drink more water in the hope a healthier lifestyle would lessen the intensity of his migraines. However he hasn't been very cooperative and it's causing marital problems.

My response to all these stories has prompted me to send messages to them, encouraging them to contact me so that I can share with them methods to solve their illnesses.

I have said this so many times, but I want to say it again and again and it's this. You solve nothing by taking drugs. As a matter of fact, you might make the problem even worse by continuing this practice.

When you have ailments such as the ones presented here, many times what happens is your body will eventually start talking back to you in some way and say "stop abusing me." ,

It's telling you you must begin nourishing it with the proper foods and nutrients so it can do the job it was meant to do for you. And that is to help you be healthy and keep you healthy. Don't argue with it. Make it happy and it will make you happy too!

Obama Won’t Fix America’s Healthcare System

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:31:00 +0000

As much as Obama talked about his plan to fix our healthcare system it won't happen because his ideas or not the way to fix it. Actually McCain's ideas wouldn't have fixed it either.

The only way this healthcare system will ever get fixed is by Congress passing legislation to establish educational programs to teach people how to get healthy and stay healthy. Ha! If you ever believe that will happen, I show you how to get free $1000 bills whenever you want them.

Big Pharma, the FDA, the medical profession and even Congress themselves will never let this happen. Congress and the FDA support industries that make money off sick people.

The corruption is unbelievable. Don't believe it? How about these published facts:

* Earlier this year in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) a study detailing specific account of how Merck fraudulently concocted a major Vioxx study as a marketing campaign. Vioxx left tens of thousands of Americans dead.

* Doctors are now recommending Statin drugs for children a low as 8 years of age. The American Academy of Pediatrics is the organization that is actively pushing this idiotic idea.

* Researchers were shocked to see that Vytorin increased the rate of cancer by 61%.

* Nursing homes are poisoning our elderly. A new study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that even a single dose of antipsychotic medication doubles the risk of a serious adverse event leading to hospitalization and/or death. These drugs are widely used as behavior management in nursing homes. They have had no FDA approval for this use, and are clearly very unsafe.

* Recently the FDA refused to disclose to Congress the names of Chinese drug companies in the supply chain that provided the tainted Heparin drug which killed Americans, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The FDA is intentionally acting to cover up China's crimes against Americans.

* The U.S. Government conceded in February of this year about the first Autism-Mercury Case. It seems a healthy and normally developing 18 month old girl showed up for her well baby visit and was plummeted with 9 vaccinations all at once, two of them containing mercury preservative known as thimerosal. Her health immediately deteriorated into full-blown Autism.

* The TV program "60 Minutes" revealed in one of their shows this year that FDA ineptitude over the heart bypass drug Traceplol cost 1,000 American lives a month, killing at least 22,000 Americans while the FDA dragged it's feet.

* The FDA reform legislation passed by the House and Senate in February 2007, shows just how corrupt the politics for profit system in America has become. The idea that citizens would have no right to sue a drug company when they are injured or killed by a medication is a difficult pill to swallow.

* The Washington Post has said that FDA managers are given preference for bonuses over technical and scientific staff. This a practice that has been going on while the very same managers have been actively hiding safety data from the public when a drug is known to have an increased risk of death as a side effect.

* New research suggests that Americans will be subjected to drug injury for sometime to come, based on flaws in the way new drugs are tested and approved by the FDA. The problem is serious, with newer drugs causing twice as many drug injuries and deaths as older drugs approved for the same purposes.

* The New York Times reported back in June 2008, on the investigation by Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) into the money paid by Big Pharma to the key researchers promoting the off-label use of anti-psychotic medications.

It shows that the researchers who have been behind promoting negative off-label use of these powerful drugs to children were on the take from Big Pharma and hiding millions in "consulting fees."

This is not the America I grew up in 77 years ago. I won't say there wasn't some corruption taking place in government back then but it's got to be ten fold now and probably it will get worse.

The only good news about Big Pharma is as of 2007 drug sales, even though the total was $286.5 billion, it slowed to 3.8%.

Let's hope that in the coming years, when our citizens get tired of all the brainwashing about how drugs heal, they will wake up and learn the real way to heal is the natural way. That's how our body was originally designed. We just need to put the right stuff in it to help it do its job.

Good Health is Good for You

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:29:00 +0000

Is it possible to have the energy and stamina of a young child once again at any age?

Well maybe that's not totally possible. However you can still increase your energy and stamina to some degree no matter how old you are if you will just take better control of your health.

There are so many stories around of people who have unbelievable energy even in their senior years. I have a few friends that fit into that category.

One of them is Tom, who is now 94 years old. I ask him one day, "what's you secret for vitality and longevity". Well he said " I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol any more and you knew how long that my brothers and sisters lived.

I said, "Yeah I knew that Tom, I'm sure that's probably a pretty good assessment of how you have lived so long, but is there anything else that might contribute to your longevity?

He said, "Well I never stop moving, I'm always going somewhere or doing something." I said, "that's it, Tom, that has to be it. That has to be the prime reason you are the age you are".

My wife has an aunt that is now 98 years of age and she has tremendous energy too. Her daughter at the age of 66 years says she has a hard time keeping up with her at times. Her mind is clear and she is always upbeat and has some project going on all the time.

I was amazed at a lady standing outside on the Today Show this morning who had a terrific story. She indicated she had not missed running in the New York Marathon for 53 years. When asked how old she was, "she said I'm 83 years old. I thought, WOW! Isn't that fantastic?

Several years back I had a good friend that was about to retire and I asked him what he was going to do after he retired and he said, "nothing, I'm just going to sit around and do nothing."

I said "you know what Jim, that might not be too smart, that could shorten your life dramatically or you could even contact a serious disease." He said, "well that's what I've decided to do." Sad story, he didn't last more than two to three years after that.

I couldn't wait until I retired myself to do some things I couldn't do while working. I could never be a "couch potato." I have to be during something all the time. Like Tom, I have to always be moving too. That's not just moving your body but also keeping your mind in motion as well.

Now of course just moving all the time is healthy but there are a few other things that need to be done too. Here are four critical steps you should do every day that could extend your life.

DIET

Adopt a health plan for yourself and your family. Add a healthy eating plan to your daily regimen. Stop eating fast food and processed food. Make sure you prepare healthy food, which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. Even for working people it's possible to prepare meals ahead of time, by using crock pot cooking or even using timers on your stove and oven to have meals ready when you want to eat them.

EXERCISE

Daily exercise should be in some form, either outside your home or in your home. A brisk walk is always good and can even be enjoyable. Dr. Campbell Douglass (a well-respected authority on natural methods of wellness) doesn't believe in beating yourself up on a treadmill or pounding your body by running. He believes in simple exercise using small barbells is adequate.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Managing stress is extremely important. It's said, "stress can kill." Extreme stress can trigger a stroke, a heart attack and even many other chronic diseases. There are stress management programs on CD's that are very worthwhile. The Jose Silva Ultramind Program is a great one to have.

NUTRITION

A nutritional program is an important aspect of any health regimen. Even if you are on a healthy diet food alone does not always supply you with all the vital nutrients you need. There are just some nutrients you cannot get completely from the food you eat.

A proven nutritional program will have exactly what you need to add to your diet every day

Life can be even more enriching if you will just follow these very simple guidelines. As you get older it's even more critical that you adopt some daily health practices.

Because your immune system, which defends you against illnesses and diseases, needs to be replenished regularly with good food and other nourishment to perform at the highest degree it can.

You must be the one to make that happen. You are the only one that can control what happens to your body and mind. Learn to live again and enjoy life even more because "LIFE IS GOOD!"

The Healing Power of Grapes

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:16:00 +0000

Grapes are one of leading the foods that contains antioxidants. It has healing properties that protect you heart, help prevent cancer, gives you glowing skin and hair and speeds up wound healing.

Grapes have been used for centuries for health and beauty. People in Egypt have been eating them for over 6,000 years. European healers have even created an ointment using the sap of grape wines to cure skin and eye ailments.

Grape leaves have been used to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation and pain. They have also been used to treat cancer, cholera, small pox and a host of other diseases. They were brought to America in the 1600's.

Grape seed oil is a popular supplement that is gaining much popularity in the alternative healing community because it contains concentrations of Vitamin E flavornoids and linoleic acids.

Grapes help compound free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can damage cell functions, such as the pollution and the sun.

Grape seed oil is also used to combat conditions of the heart, such as hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and poor circulation.

They are also used in the treatment of hearing and vision problems. It can help slow down macular degeneration and speed up wound after injury or surgery. And let me also add, it can help regulate liver and lung functions. It is normally taken in capsule or tablet form.

Table grapes in berry or wine form are just as beneficial for you. Grapes contain high quantities of quality fiber, B and C vitamins as well as minerals from the soil they are grown in.

Red grapes contain high quantities of proanthocyanidins, which protect the heart. But remember this buyers, non organic grapes are heavily sprayed with pesticides. especially grapes imported from other countries. It's important you know this and go with organic ones whenever possible.

Not only are grapes great for healing all the other things we mentioned, they are great for wound healing. What is really interesting is how they learned that grapes had this capability.

It seems that it all started with a study of tree bark, of all things. It turns out that treating wounds with bark from maritime pine trees is a popular folk remedy in France.

When the researchers looked into the chemistry of this pine bark they found it was rich in proanthocynanidins, the key chemical described in the study. Then they looked through the chemical literature for more convenient source of proanthocynanidins, and found grape seeds.

The study was rather different because it was the first time a natural substance had been shown to have such a positive impact on wound healing.

Here we see how free radicals actually serve a positive function. They stimulate the growth of blood vessels and skin during healing. In addition they kill harmful viruses and bacteria.

It was found the wounds don't heal as well if you squelch the process of forming free radicals. This doesn't diminish the negative impact free radicals may have elsewhere in the body. It does, however, show that they serve an important purpose in some situations and shouldn't be eliminated completely.

As for why these chemicals act differently in wounds than in the rest of the body, it seems the presence of other free radicals in wounds actually changes the properties of the proanthocyanindins themselves.

In other words, when they are surrounded by lots of free radicals, proanthocynanindins join them instead of trying to beat them. The advantage is that they last much longer than the free radicals made by the body, which explains why they are so effective.

Isn't it amazing that nature provides us with so many things in the universe that have so much benefit in solving our health problems?

I've known that for a long time in my research on the Internet and various other sources in the last 4 ½ years. But you don't hear much about it in the local press or on national TV.

You know why? Big Pharma would soon be out of business if the word got out any more than it does now. They have many ways of blocking a lot of that information.

Most people don't realize how much they are being brainwashed by their claims and our government supports them every day. Shame on them!

The Hazards of Common Medications

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 15:03:00 +0000

People are subjected to prescription drugs every day and don't really know the dangers of taking them. OH! They might tell you a few of the side effects of them. But they donn't tell you the real danger associated with them.

Here are a few of those medications you might want to know about:

Tagamet

This is a popular stomach acid reducer that is advertised heavily on television. Common side effects are depression, confusion, hallucinations, impotence and heart and kidney problems. Tagament also interferes with the body's ability to break down other chemicals.

So what this means is you can get an overdose of any substance you are exposed to. This is a serious problem if you are taking other prescription medication. For example, if you are taking blood thinners or anticoagulants, normally these medications are broken down in the liver. However, if you are using Tagamet, they are not broken down and you can bleed to death.

Reglan

Another common heartburn drug whose most side effect is the onset of Parkinson's disease symptoms: trembling, stiffness, facial paralysis, and twisting movement of the body.

When it comes to taking antacids, whether it is a prescription or over-the-counter drug, it's most likely you acid indigestion is caused by lack of stomach acid and not a surplus of it.

It's really a simple process. Food that isn't digested because of the lack of stomach acid does not pass easily into small intestine. What happen is it sits in your stomach and ferments. Then the fermenting process causes undigested food to bubble and roll about, causing acid reflux.

Halcion

A sleeping acid that was passed by the FDA just as they forbade the production and sale of L. Tryptophan the natural sleep aide we experience on thanksgiving (it comes from the turkey) The side effects of this drug are agitation, hallucinations and amnesia. It's banned in England, and is one of the most prescribed drugs in America

Aspirin

Small amounts can cause bleeding of the stomach lining. Continued use can lead to peptic ulcers. Aspirin interferes with the production of hormones and it' even been linked to macular degeneration.

The FDA's approval of many drugs is shocking. The U.S. General Account Office reported that over an eight year period, 50% of the drugs approved by the FDA had serious post-approval risk such as heart failure, convulsions, kidney and liver failure, birth defects and blindness.

Dr. Herbert Ley, a former FDA commissioner said what really bothers him is people believe the FDA is protecting them but in reality they are not. They also like to make you believe that many herbs and vitamins are dangerous yet 100,000 people die yearly from "FDA approved" prescription drugs, and many more are injured.

And in addition to that statistic, add 100,000 people who die from malpractice every year and you have the third largest cause of death in America, which is the medical profession.

In today's medical environment where symptoms are treated, masked, or managed, death happens too soon. We really don't know how many people die from medical intervention. It may even be the main cause of death in this country.

Doctors try to save lives, not take them and they do their best with the tools they have been given. But they have not been given all the tools they need. For instance they get very little education in medical school about nutrition.

Those practicing natural medicine methods are frequently abused, that's the holistic, osteopathic, naturopathic and even the chiropractic doctors. Even some of their therapies might not prove to be effective, but at least they won't kill you, and you will live to try another therapy.

The conclusion to all of this can be much simpler than most people would believe. Over and over I read the best advice is to learn the advantages of nutrition. Most people seem to be deficient in some nutrients for their body.

Your will usually find that if you have an illness or have contacted a certain disease it's because your daily consumption of the proper nutrients is lacking somewhere. My best of advice is to get on a nutritional program that's been proven. I can help you with one that works wonders.

Antioxidants Are A Free Radical Killer

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:03:00 +0000

We have known for a longtime now that by reducing free radicals, antioxidants can help prevent cancer, but a recent study at John Hopkins published recently in "Science" shows how antioxidants may be doing even more.

What's been found is antioxidants are interfering with the growth of cancers that are already established. Potentially they are even reversing them once established, by knocking out communication signals between cancer cells that encourage cells to grow and divide.

Those communication signals turn out to be free radicals, which cancer cells produce in abundance. Runaway cell division was actually slowed when cancer cells were introduced to the antioxidant N-Acetyel-L-cysteine under experimental conditions.

This now represents a mechanism that can allow a simple antioxidant to slow down or reverse a cancer that is already in peace.

Kaikabad Irani cautiously summarizes his research by saying that "Control of signaling pathways involving antioxidants may explain why some antioxidants appear to prevent development of certain cancers."

There are plenty of sources of antioxidants in a good diet. Fruits and vegetables are packed with powerful antioxidants that can lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, diatetes related damage and even slow down the body's natural aging process. That brings me to the familiar saying "An apple a day can keep the doctor away." (A powerful antioxidant)

So you may aks what exactly are antioxidants and why do we need them? Antioxidants are nature's way of fighting off potentially dangerous molecules in the body.

Such molecules come in the form of synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plastics, and chlorine byproducts and are called free radicals.

Every day tens of thousands or free radicals are generated within the body, causing cell damage that can lead to chronic and degenerative diseases if left unchecked.

The body sometimes creates it's own free radicals to destroy viruses or bacteria. To balance out these unruly molecules, the body also creates antioxidants, which have the sole purpose of nutralizing free radicals.

The body is only designed to create a certain amount of antioxidants on its own. However as we are faced with an ever-growing number of enivronmental toxins, the body is less capable of fighting off the unwanted harmful invaders.

Now here is where you personally come in. You need to make sure you get a daily input of fruits and vegetables in your body. That way you can help wage war against those free radicals.

Without the necessary initake of healthy fruits and vegetables, free radicals can spread and eventually lead to stroke, heart attack, arthritis, vision problems, Parkison's disease, Alzheimer disease and various types of cancers.

The benefits of getting your daily dose of fruits and vegetables are numerous. The antioxidant Vitamin E, is wonderful for your heart. Vitamin E has the ability to "mop up" the LDL ("bad") cholesterol in you arteries, allowing for the necessary elasticity ahd blood pressure levels to keep your heart pumping safely.

Antioxidants can also protect you against diabetes related damage. Free radicals thrive in the altered metabolic states of diabetics. But with the necessary antioxidants that fruits and vegetables can provide, free radicals can be neutralized, protecting your kidneys, blood vessels, eyes and heart from harmful damage.

Here's some more news about antioxidants. They slow the effects of aging. Free radicals damage the cells within our body that are vital to a youthful appearance and good health.

Eating fruits and vegetables can slow down the loss of muscle elasticity that leads to wrinkles, boost your immunity making you less susceptible to illness, and put breaks on memory failure, as free radicals injure the brain cells necessary for retaining information.

Antioxidants are available in supplement form but are most powerful when found in whole foods. It's best to combine leafy vegetables, like spinach and collard greens with a good variety of colored fruits such as mangos, oranges and cantaloupe.

And the last recommendation is, it's best to buy in the organic stores instead of your local grocery store. The produce available in most stores no longer contains the elvel of nutrients that it did 100 years ago.

Because of pesticides and the diminished minerals levels in soils used today, eating non-organic produce will not provide you with the antioxidants or vitamins and minerals that you body needs.

Sounds like a smart thing to do. What do you think?

To your good health,

The Worst Disease is Spreading Fast

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:33:00 +0000

Since American is listed as one of the sickest nation on earth, it's very disheartening to know why that is true.

Cancer and diabetes especially runs rampart in our society and yet people are brainwashed to the fact that there isn't a cure of either one of them.

So the worst disease that's spreading fast is the disease of negative attitude. That's the disbelief in alternative cures for all illnesses and diseases.

It's so disappointing to realize that people of the highest intelligence can be so hoodwinked into believing that prescription drugs is the miracle cure-all for all illnesses.

People will spend years going to the same doctor, week after week, month after month and year after year and still they never solve their ailment.

The doctor subscribes the first prescription drug and it doesn't solve the problem. Then you return to your doctor again after another month or two to talk about the first prescription drug that did nothing for your ailment.

At the next visit you get a different prescription or maybe even a second one to go with the first one. After several visits it's not unusual for people to eventually end up with ten prescriptions or more and still never solve their health problem.

I just had a conversation with someone yesterday who had Rheumatoid arthritis for 19 years. During that time he eventually had ten different prescriptions and none of them helped solve his health problem.

Then he developed Osteoporosis and Acid Reflux. After that he finally decided he had had enough. He was introduced to a nutritional program that looked like the answer to all his health problems. So he purchased some of their products. Within a year all his illnesses were eliminated.

The one important thing to remember is nutritional products such as these doesn't do the harm to your body like prescription drugs. The one thing they eventually do is attack the toxins in your body and eliminate them. This added nutrition to your body restores it to a more healthy fashion. In addition, it's also helping you to develop a healthier immune system.

As I have stated before in my articles, no doctor has ever cured an illness or a disease, no medicine has ever cured an illness or disease, the only thing that will cure an illness or disease is "your body".

That's how your body was created, as a built-in healing system. It's the most elaborate and intricate healing system on earth. But you have to protect it from all invading forces You can't put the wrong fuel in it and expect it to do a good job.

You cannot continue abusing your body consistently by having unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, off the shelf drugs like: sleep aids, and medicines for indigestion, headaches, back pain and hundreds of other drugs for any ailment in the world.

When all these medications don't solve your health problem you eventually end up in a doctor's office to ask his/her help. So what happens next is you get a prescription for your ailment. Now you have just added more poison to your system.

Do you know that many times prescription drugs can do you more harm than good. They can damage your liver, your kidneys; just about any organ in your body can be negatively affected.

That's why after you have been on prescription drugs for a while they take blood tests of some of those organs to see if they have been seriously affected.

Now worse than that, if you have any serious symptoms the next thing a doctor might want to do is cut you open to see if he can fix your problem.

That creates yet some more problems. Surgery is not always safe and neither is the hospital stay safe either. Many people have died as a result of both of these situations.

If all these things I have described here about "conventional medicine" practices still makes you a believer in them, I need to ask you a question. The question is when will you "wake up" and become a disbeliever in that system and a believer in the alternative health system?

The best way I know how to explain this is to make you aware of a quote I heard a long time ago. Here it is.

If you continue to do what you have always done, you will continue to get what you have always gotten" Think about that seriously.

To your good health,

An Evil Plague is Influencing Our Health

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:37:00 +0000

A plague has swept across our land, most of the time its been in the shadows for generations and set upon us many situations that has fouled the earth ever since man has walked upon it.

It's been lead by four evil monsters that have been corrupted and enslaved by the master. This plague has cast its tentacles from sea to sea through towns and cities large and small, sparing no one.

Almost no location has proven remote enough to escape its reach and it has visited death, illness and suffering on young and old alike.

The plague is Bad health. Its master is greed. It's been lead by four evil monsters who have been corrupted and perverted into servants of greed who spread the plaque on our food, our medicine, our industry and our government.

The effects of this evil plaque can be measured in terms of the dollars and the lives it cruelly affects. Billions of dollars annually is ill gained profits at the expense of deaths that run into the hundreds of thousand and suffering that affects millions.

Throughout history, there have been men who have existed whose greed and lust for wealth and power has driven them to put their own selfish interest above those of humanity itself.

Such greed has been behind most of the evils in the history of mankind and caused untold suffering. Today the very health of modern man itself is under attach by the greedy elite who trade profits for the ability of their fellow man and woman to enjoy good health and live long and enjoyable lives.

Ever since the 1800's there have been those who place personal gain and wealth above health and humanity and have corrupted the four most important cornerstones that should be our shining benefactors and guarantors of providing mankind with good, nutritious food to eat, air to breath and water to drink: our food supply, our medicines, our industry and our government.

Here then are the four fallen cornerstones of health and a brief overview of how greed has turned them from providers and protectors of our health into servants that provide profits at the expense of health and humanity.

Food

Our soils have been depleted, our food crops have been genetically engineered to produce higher yields and more bulk with less nutrition and to withstand more pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers that ensure higher profits at the cost of multitudes of health problems for those who consume them.

Medicine

For 6000 years, mankind used nature as the primary means of preventing and controlling illness. In the early 1900's there were more natural health and homeopathic practitioners and as many alternative medical schools as there were "germ theory" doctors and universities.

But the natural and homeopathic practitioners and schools were persecuted and prosecuted into virtual extinction after the rich and powerful Rockefellers and Carnegies teamed up with the American Medical Society to make germ theory medicine the only acceptable form of medicine. They increased profits by weeding out competition by means fair or foul.

Industry

Since the beginning of the industrial age and the coal burning plants, every year an increasing amount of literally thousands of metric tons of chemical pollutants, including carcinogens and thousands of other toxic chemicals and compounds such as mercury, lead, PCP, arsenic etc; has escaped into the environment. But industries resist testing and government doesn't exercise any authority to solve it.

Government

The government should be the protector of the health and well being of it's citizens, but the influence and money of the greedy have corrupted it to a government of the corporation which gives mostly lip service to actually serving it's citizens first and foremost.

The United States of America was founded as a constitutional republic to protect and insure the unalienable rights of every citizen to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Thanks to the relentless pursuit of wealth and power, and the use of that wealth and power to buy votes and influence, our government has become a top down corruption that our founding fathers would surely rise up against in renewed revolt.

In the words of the last FDA commissioner, to stand up for the safety of the citizens and resist the lobbying and pressure of Big Pharma, here's what he said, "the FDA protects the big drug companies and are subsequently rewarded, and using the government's police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies."

He goes on to say, "People think the FDA is protecting them. It isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day." Those are the comments of Dr. Herbert Ley.

What do you think of that folks? How proud are you of your government now?

To your good health,

The Flu Vaccine Is A Hoax

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:08:00 +0000

Winter is upon us and the medical community and Big Pharma are getting money hungry once again. So they think it's time to turn on the alarm about how critical it is to get your flu shot. However, listen to this.

The flu vaccine is now officially documented as a failure. Even The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that this year's flu vaccine had "no or low effectiveness" against influenza or influenza – like illness.

Please folks don't be brainwashed into thinking a flu shot will prevent you from getting the flu. What you should really understand is that people are dying from the flu because they are already sick and have compromised immune systems.

The Ultimate treatment for the flu is proactive prevention. If you will eat the right food, avoid junk food, get plenty of rest and stay emotionally balanced you will build up your defense system (your immune system) and most likely it will smash the flu bug.

Start learning how to eat properly. That means stop eating junk food, processed food, sugary foods and trans fats. That means increase the healthy and essential fats like Omega–3 found in cod liver oil or in fish oil.

Also eat the good carbohydrates like those in vegetables, and the healthy proteins in clean, naturally raised meats and free-range chicken (these aren't usually found in your typical grocery store) You need to search out food and meat stores selling organic or natural raised meats.

This type meat is raised without hormones or antibiotics. This is a concern that's vital to your health.

It's really insane that people get hoodwinked into thinking they desperately need to get the flu shot so they won't get terribly sick or even die.

People will get in long lines in shopping malls, supermarkets, the hospital or clinics to get their flu shot hoping they won't run out of the vaccine before they are able to get vaccinated.

The advertisements for convincing you need the flu shot are so convincing to some people that it almost causes a panic attack for them.

20 years ago the flu vaccine was only recommended for those over 60 years of age with chronic health conditions. Now these shots are recommended for even very young children and that's dangerous.

Besides the toxins in the vaccine, those who get immunized are in for a big surprise because the vaccine will actually do little to protect them from the flu.

A vaccine won't "save you" from the flu or even more serious diseases if your underlying defenses, you immune system, is seriously dysfunctional. Besides there are far too many potential "invaders" to word off via the artificial means of vaccination.

However there are still many people, the majority of people, allow themselves to sucked into the hype surrounding vaccinating against the latest flu bug. So avoid the brainwashing. Getting stressed out to the extreme could be even more serious than getting the flu.

Step back for a moment and realize the following is just pure common sense. If your body's immunity level is where it naturally should be, you won't have to worry about this flu vaccination issue every winter.

And you should even get less concerned about contacting other chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Because your body, when you are eating the proper diet, is designed to starve off these bugs and all the "bad' invaders.

Now it's being said, there will be new resistant strains of the bugs and then more new bugs after that and after that. So the perceived "need" for vaccines against them will rise until everyone is injecting these vaccines in such a frenzied matter you'll think they were all addicted to heroin or cocaine.

Then the drugs companies will be thrilled because they just sucked in more millions of dollars into their coffers from your wallet.

Prevent the flu and other diseases for good. If you are only interested in quick fixes like a vaccine to avoid the flu and all the other sicknesses you could get, it is a losing proposition.

What will happen if you accept this baloney about needing a flu vaccine or any other vaccine, your arms are going to be black and blue from all the vaccines you are supposed to take.

After all this is said and done these injections won't save you anyway, because they are far too many potential invaders when your immune system is dysfunctional. And besides, the mix of all the toxins in the vaccines and in the drugs will harm you and likely kill you faster. Do you really think it's worth the risks? I wouldn't think so.

To your good health,

Your Environment Could Be Killing You

noreply@blogger.com (The White Dove Partnership) — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:53:00 +0000

Most times when we think about the word "environment" we think about the universe, the outside environment, the area we are exposed to outside our home.

While it's true that outside environment could be killing you because of pollution coming from industry and from many other factors, the one environment we should be mostly concerned about is the one closet to us, our physical body.

Yes, our physical body, the one we live in everyday and the one we should be mostly concerned about. But you know what? Most people abuse it constantly everyday. The inside of many people's body is more polluted than some of the worst industries that are belching out all kinds of contaminants everyday.

The American citizen today is among the sickest on earth. Many of them eat the wrong food, eat too much, gobble down prescription drugs, smoke, don't sleep well and are highly stressed out. Whatever illness or disease they may have, they have created it.

People are literally creating silent killers everyday inside of their body if they don't start taking care of it properly. Toxins are silent killers. They are so silent that people die without ever known they are there.

These toxins have been there since the day you were born. As you grew up they grew up too, causing childhood illnesses and diseases.

As you matured into adulthood they continued to multiply, causing your adult illnesses and diseases. Unless you eliminate them now, they will be the cause of your death.

All diseases are nothing more than different expressions of toxicity. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, lupus, leukemia, diabetes and every disease you have ever heard of is caused by toxicity.

Putting incorrect nutrition into your body causes this toxicity. Here's how it works. Genetically each of us has stronger and weaker areas in our bodies.

As you have accumulated your toxins during your lifetime, your toxins have congregated in the weakest areas of your body because that is where they get the least resistance.

When enough toxins have accumulated in a part of your body they will manifest themselves in the form of a disease that is indigenous to that part of your body.

Now listen to this. No doctor has ever cured an illness or disease. No medicine has ever cured an illness or disease. The only thing that can ever cure an illness or a disease is "Your Body." That's it. It's that simple.

And another thing that's been rather controversial is that there are no incurable diseases. Do you think most doctors believe that? If they do they won't admit it. The truth is, what can't be cured are incurable attitudes.

Your body will heal itself if you stop giving it information it doesn't understand and start giving it information it can understand. That information is proper nutritional information, the only information your body is designed to understand.

Preventing disease is much easier than curing it. Fortunately you don't have to wait until you are in a life-threatening situation to take action. You can now possess the information that can enable you to dramatically improve your health and extend you longevity.

Treasure this information. It could not only help you enjoy more years of your life but also save you from contacting a major disease. However knowledge is not enough, you need more than just knowledge.

You need some method by which you can provide your body the nutritional information it needs so that your body can detoxify itself and function properly.

There are nutritional products that are designed to meet your body's nutritional needs so it can detoxifies itself and functions properly. This approach is essential if you want to establish and maintain homeostasis (biological balance).

In order to understand how we lost homeostasis, you must understand your relationship with you environment.

When our creator designed your body he designed it to live in harmony with your environment. When you change your environment you are moving against the wisdom of your creator. That will always result in degeneration.

The bottom line is this. The farther away you move from your creator's design, the sicker you become. When you compare the environment in the Garden of Eden to your present environment, you will get a quick idea of how far astray our civilization has wandered from it's original design.

The good news is you possess the control that is required to make sure you are able to maintain your creator's original design. An ideal nutritional program will fulfill that purpose. Learn more about such a program. I can provide that information.

To your good health,

Sonny Julius
