The Rediscovery of a Super Antibiotic?

Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food. Early Research Colloidal silver was in common use until 1938. Many remember their grandparents putting silver dollars in milk to prolong its freshness at room temperature. At the turn of the century, scientists had discovered that the body”s most important fluids are colloidal in nature: suspended ultra-fine particles. Blood, for example, carries nutrition and oxygen to the body cells. This led […] Read More

WHY COMMERCIAL SOY FORMULAS CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH

Below are bits and pieces of information on Soy, sugar and the dietary. Articles by Sally Fallon, Dr. Mercola and Soyonlineservice.com, report problems with soy consumption. Carrageenan is like Vaseline petroleum jelly. A glass of SILK [a not recommended commercial soy drink] contains commercially prepared soymilk with a dextrose type sugar, chocolate powder and the vaseline type chemical, carrageenan as an emulsifier. The carrageenan will cause digestive tract problems in susceptible people, make them ill and cause them to think they are allergic to soy. Remember when you see dextrose, glucose or corn syrup the substance is a poison. Even natural honey contains this poison [dextrose]. If you allow honey to crystallize and then turn the bottle upside down and allow the honey to run […] Read More

ALL ABOUT SOY

The info on Soy is misleading. This short article will list some warnings on Soy. The internet is loaded with information warning of the harmful effects of Soy when used improperly. Robert Cohen, the notmilk.com man, recommends organically grown soy. My opinion is that the bad effects of Soy are due to the adulteration of the natural food for commercialization. Because the human race has weakened itself on denatured junk food for several generations, we are genetically predisposed to trouble from foods that can shift the chemical balance too far in one direction. We are not healthy enough to tolerate this effect and so certain foods affect us, based upon our individual weaknesses. Soy is one of those type of foods since it contains large […] Read More

Top 10 Common Ingredients That Are Just Plain Weird

As common as these ingredients are, they’re not exactly what you would expect. Some are not even what you would WANT to expect. For all the times your mother asked, “Do you know what’s IN that?”, you’ll be armed and ready with the answers. And the nausea that probably accompanies them. See our list to get started. No. 1 – Carmine Carmine, or cochineal (as it is perhaps more commonly known), consists of a mixture of … crushed beetles. More specifically, these dried insects are boiled in water to extract the carminic acid they contain (or did contain). Typically, due to the fantastic red hue the resulting potion gives off, this ingredient is used to artificially dye foods red, purple and pink; however, you can […] Read More

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE USED ASPARTAME

By Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D. (c) 2003 Web Site: http://www.russellblaylockmd.com The most important starting point of any detoxification program is to stop exposure to the toxin or toxins. This means avoiding even small amounts, since once sensitized to the toxin even minute amounts can produce full-blown toxicity. This is especially so with accumulative toxins, such as aspartame. It has been shown conclusively that the metabolic products of methanol breakdown, formaldehyde in particular, accumulates on the DNA and cellular proteins. Once you have cleansed your diet of the toxin, removal of the toxin and its metabolic products from your system will begin. Central to this process is the body’s detoxification system, which exist in all cells of the body, with the bulk of detoxification taking place in […] Read More

2011: Selenium deficiency increases heart disease and cancer incidence

Wednesday, April 13, 2011 by: John Phillip Researchers reporting in the FASEB Journal found that selenium deficiency in the American diet may be a significant foundation for the rampant proliferation of heart disease and cancer over the past several decades. By analyzing data from hundreds of published studies, Dr. Bruce Ames of the Children`s Hospital Oakland Research Institute determined that selenium-dependent proteins deprived of the essential mineral pave a path toward chronic disease early in life that may threaten our long-term survival past our reproductive years. We need to obtain selenium in the proper form from an early age to dramatically lower the risk from heart disease and cancer in later life. Dr. Ames subscribes to the newly developed `triage theory` that explains why age-related diseases like […] Read More

What if there was one nutrient which…?

Desensitized estrogen receptors in the breast. Reduced estrogen production in overactive ovaries. Reduced fibrocystic breast disease which often precedes breast cancer. Caused cancer cell death, slowed down cell division and reduced blood vessel growth to tumors. Caused more cell death than the chemo drug, Fluorouracil . Prevented rats from getting cancer when they were fed the breast cancer causing toxin DMBA. Research suggests that some breast cancers may be an iodine deficiency disease. As iodine consumption has gone down, breast cancer rates have gone up. But the research goes far deeper, exploring the effects of iodine supplementation on breast disease and breast cancer. This important breakthrough has been in the research pipeline for years but only recently found momentum. After sifting through 50 years of […] Read More
