Roxarsone, an arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, could pose health risks to humans. Roxarsone is the most common arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, used to promote growth, kill parasites and improve the color of chicken meat. It is normally benign, but under certain conditions that can occur within live chickens or on farm land, the compound converts into more toxic forms of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancers, and low-level exposure can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes. A number of food suppliers have stopped using roxarsone, including Tyson Foods, which is the largest poultry producer in the United States. But even so, 70 percent of the 9 billion broiler chickens produced annually in the United States are fed roxarsone. Chemical & Engineering News, Vol. 85, No. 15, April 9, 2007: 34-35 (Free Full-Text Article) Science Daily April 10, 2007 Dr. Mercola's Comment: You were probably as surprised as I was to find out that nearly three-fourths of commercially raised chickens will be contaminated with arsenic because they were fed contaminated food. Seems like it would be wise to avoid most conventionally raised chicken altogether now that you know about roxarsone. Neither the USDA or FDA have a clue as to how much arsenic you may be consuming in the chicken you eat. In the only testing that has measured arsenic in chicken so far, nearly 75 percent of the raw meat sampled from conventional sources in Minnesota and California contain detectable levels of arsenic along with one-third of the samples taken from organic and "premium" sources. Still, organic chicken -- preferably those raised on farms near you -- is the best choice for your health. Organic chickens are better fed, exposed to fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals, and get more sunlight, all of which makes them healthier for you. This is one of the reasons you will want to consume organic foods whenever possible. Just makes no sense to load your body up with toxic substances that will clearly harm you in the long run. If you are concerned that organic chicken is too expensive, please be sure to read Colleen Huber's excellent article on finding organic foods for the same price as processed, conventional foods.

Sex, Orgasm and Immortality

	Sex, and specifically the orgasm, is more that just something that feels good and allows procreation. There are many other functions, such as the release of dysfunctional energy within the body, which can help to keep one from becoming diseased. There is the function that opens the higher chakras, and under the right conditions allows a person to begin the process of enlightenment. And further, if two people, lovers, practice sacred sex, the entire experience can lead them together into higher consciousness and into worlds beyond this plane. In relationships, a simple sexual principle, as taught by the ancient Egyptians, can change the energy level within your body and help to bring strength and vitality into your bodies and your relationship. The full subject in detail of Egyptian Tantra is incredibly complex, and cannot be completed in an article of this scope. But we can speak of the heart of the matter — the human ankhing experience as practiced by the ancient Egyptians. And so, adapted for our readers from The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume II, I offer this insight to assist two lovers — or even yourself, alone — to begin to find the higher path. This practice will not directly show you the true path. But it will increase your life-force energy, making you stronger, more alive, and more conscious. And perhaps — if you believe the Ancient Egyptians — it may lead you into eternal life. —Drunvalo Egyptian Sexual Energy and the Orgasm It was believed in ancient Egypt that the orgasm was the key to eternal life, and that it was intimately connected with the chakra system. A chakra is an energy vortex connected to the entire human energy field, and the Universal Heart Chakra is the fifth of thirteen chakras. (There is also a system of eight chakras; in that system, the heart chakra is number four.) The Egyptian system held that the orgasm was intimately connected to this fifth, or Universal Heart Chakra. First, we will explain the connection to eternal life. Most people in the world are ignorant about what happens to their sexual energy after they have an orgasm. Usually, the energy moves up the spine and out the top of the head directly into the eighth or thirteenth chakra (same chakra, different system). In a few rare cases, the sexual energy is released down the spine into the hidden center below the feet, the point opposite the one above the head. In either case, the sexual energy — the concentrated life-force energy called prana in Hinduism — is dissipated and lost. It is similar to discharging a battery into a ground wire. It is no longer in the battery and so it is gone forever. This is what all the world's Tantric systems that I am aware of believe, that orgasm brings one a little closer to death because a person loses his or her life-force energy in the orgasm and is made weaker. But the Egyptians found long ago that it does not have to be this way. It is for this reason that the Hindu and Tibetan Tantra systems ask the male to avoid ejaculating. Instead, they speak of these tiny invisible tubes where, when a student learns to control the orgasm and the flow of their sexual energy, the sperm migrates up to the higher centers. Both of these systems, and also the Chinese Taoist Tantra system, are all primarily concerned with the sexual energy flow, sometimes referred to as ''sexual currents.'' They are primarily concerned with what happens as the sexual energy is moved before the orgasm, but they all have entirely different views of this energy compared to the Egyptians. The Egyptians believed that orgasm is healthy and necessary, including the release of sperm in males, but that the sexual energy currents must be controlled in a deeply esoteric procedure that is unlike any other system. They believed that if this energy is controlled, the human orgasm becomes a source of infinite pranic energy that is not lost. They believe that the entire Mer-Ka-Ba or lightbody (the field of energy surrounding and interpenetrating the body) benefits from this sexual release. They even believe that under the right conditions the orgasm will directly lead to eternal life, and that the ankh is the key. What is the ankh, and what has the ankh to do with sexual energy? It is complicated to explain, but we will simplify. First the ankh itself is a shape that looks like the figure at right. In order to see and understand what took thousands of years for the Egyptians to grasp, we will begin with the fifth, Universal Heart Chakra. This lower heart chakra, the chakra of Unconditional Universal Love, is the first place where the energy completes itself. Each chakra has a ''direction'' associated with it, as the life-force energy rotates its way up the body in a pattern similar to the DNA molecule. In the lower heart chakra, the fifth place of a thirteen chakra system, the energy is facing the same direction as it began, and thus the circle is complete. In the three views above, you can see how the rotation of energy either around the body, as in (a), around a circle, as in (b), or in a sine wave, as in (c), all complete themselves in five steps. The fifth or heart chakra is the first chakra that completes itself and has the energies of both front-to-back and left-to-right. If you could see these energies — and the Egyptians could — from above the head, as in (a), at left, they would appear as this symbol. It needs to be understood that these are actual energy lines around the body coming from the fifth chakra. If you were to see these energies from the front view of a human, they would appear as in (b) at left. In the center of the cross there is a hidden energy line coming straight off the page and also moving in the opposite direction away from the reader. Notice that both of the above examples are Christian symbols that come from the heart chakra. However, if you could see the same energies from the side of a human being, they would appear different than you would expect. There is another energy-flow ''tube'' there (in Chinese medicine it's called a ''meridian'') that the Egyptians discovered long ago. It looks like (c). I find it very interesting that the Christians must have understood what we are talking about here, for on the robes of many Christian priests, at certain times of the year that are usually associated with resurrection, you will see the following symbol. This symbol (d) shows all three views — the top, front, and side simultaneously. I believe the Christians omitted the complete loop of the ankh so that they would not directly show a connection with the old Egyptian religion, since they were breaking away from that tradition. But it is obvious that they knew. Now that you know that this ankh energy conduit is located in the human energy field and where, you will be able to understand the reason for the Egyptians' sexual conduct, which we are about to explain. First let me explain something about the ankh before I speak about its relationship to sexual energy. When I toured the museums in Egypt, I personally observed over 200 Egyptian rods. These rods (pictured at right) were mostly made of wood, although other materials were sometimes used. They had a tuning fork on the bottom end, and the top end had four different types of devices that could be attached. One of these devices was in the shape of the ankh. What we found is that if you put the ankh on the top of the rod, which is like the human spine, the vibration from the tuning fork lasts a great deal longer. The energy seems to wrap around back into the rod along the curve of the ankh, moving downward as it returns, thereby sustaining the energy. I was in Holland a couple of years ago, and there some people had made some rods out of copper with a high-quality tuning fork at the bottom and a threaded end at the top, so that different end pieces could be screwed on. I experimented with this rod. Using it without a top piece, I struck the tuning fork and timed how long it would vibrate. Then I screwed on the ankh and struck the tuning fork again. With the ankh on top, the rod vibrated almost three times longer. If you apply this idea to the human spine, you can see why the energy of the orgasm enhances the entire human system and the energy wraps itself back around and back into the human meridians. This is the key to why the Egyptians performed the particular sexual practices we are about to explain. They found that if they had an orgasm and let it go out the top or bottom of the spine, the sexual energy was lost. But if the sexual energy was guided by consciousness to move into the ankh conduit, it would come back into the spine and continue to resonate and vibrate. The life-force energy was not lost. In actual experience, it seems to increase the energy. One does not feel depleted after sex, but rather recharged. You can talk about it all day, but if you try it one time, you will understand. However, it is not easy to do in one test. For the first few times, the sexual energy will often shoot past the point of the fifth chakra and continue on up and out of the body. So it takes practice. Once it is learned, I doubt seriously if you would ever have an orgasm any other way. It's too powerful and feels too good. Once your body remembers this experience, it is not likely to revert back to the old way. Instructions for the Egyptian Orgasm Here is exactly how to achiever the ankhing associated with the human orgasm. Whatever you do sexually before the orgasm is completely up to you. I am not here to judge you — and definitely the Egyptians would not, since they believe in knowing all sixty-four sexual modes before you enter the King's Chamber to ascend to the next level of consciousness. This is their idea, but it is important to know that it is not necessary. You can reach the next level of consciousness without knowing this information. However, from their point of view, the idea of ankhing is of paramount importance in achieving eternal life. You will have to decide for yourself if it is something you wish to practice. The moment you feel the sexual energy about to rise up your spine, take a very deep breath, filling your lungs about 9/10th full, then hold your breath. Allow the sexual energy of the orgasm to come up your spine. But at the moment it reaches the fifth chakra (located just a couple of finger-widths above the sternum), with your willpower you must turn the flow of sexual energy 90 degrees out the back of the body. It will then automatically continue inside the ankh tube. It will slowly turn until it passes exactly through the eighth (or thirteenth) chakra, one hand-length above the head at 90 degrees to the vertical. It will then continue to curve around until it returns to the fifth chakra, where it began, only this time in the front of the body. Even if you don't understand what was just said, it will happen automatically if you get it started out the back of the body at the fifth chakra, and it will automatically come back around to the front of the body and reconnect at the fifth chakra. You just have to make it turn 90 degrees so that it begins. It will often slow down as it approaches its point of origin, the fifth chakra. If you can see the energy, it comes to a sharp point. When it approaches the fifth chakra from the front of the body, there is sometimes a tremendous jolt as it reconnects with this chakra again. All this takes place while you are holding your first breath. The instant the sexual energy reconnects with its source, the fifth chakra, take in the full breath. You had filled your lungs only 9/10th full, so now you fill your lungs as completely as you can. Now exhale very, very slowly. The sexual energy will continue on around the ankh channel as long as you are exhaling. When you reach the bottom of this breath, you will continue to breathe very deeply, but a change happens here. It is here that, if you know the Lightbody work of the Mer-Ka-Ba, you would begin to breathe from the two poles using Mer-Ka-Ba breathing. But if you are like most people and don't know this work, then continue to breathe deeply until you feel the relaxation begin to spread throughout your body. Then relax your breath to your normal rate. Feel every cell becoming rejuvenated by this life-force energy. Let this energy reach down into the deepest physical levels of your body structure even past the cellular level. Feel how this beautiful energy surrounds your very being and brings health to your body, mind and heart. Once the relaxation begins, slow your breath down to a normal shallow breathing. If possible, allow yourself to completely relax or even sleep for a while afterward. If you practice this for even one week, I believe you will more than understand. If you practice it continually, it will begin to give health and strength to your mental, emotional, and physical bodies. It will give great strength and power to your Lightbody, as well. If for any reason this practice does not feel right, stop and return to normal. It just is not time. It was this discovery of the secret tube that fostered the Ancient Egyptians' belief that eternal life was intimately connected to this particular energy-flow. It is this ankhing of their sexual energy through this tube, in an extremely deliberate procedure, that I have been taught to emulate. Top of Page Print Version

Killing Light

Turn Off the Lights
Several large population studies, have shown a clear link between a woman's exposure to light at night and breast cancer. A similar link has been shown with prostate cancer in men. The risk is greatly increased for:

1. Those who frequently do not go to sleep until after 1:30 a.m.

2. Those who have the brightest bedrooms.

3. Late-night shift workers (and the longer they work nights, the greater the risk).

The study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute concludes that this is the result of a chronic suppression of melatonin - an anti-cancer hormone that is produced by the body only in the dark.

- Journal of the National Cancer Institute

Dr. Keith and Laurie Nemec's comments on turn off the lights.

Research published by the National Cancer Institute conclude that when people do not get enough sleep, or they are exposed to light when they sleep, it results in a chronic suppression of melatonin, an anti cancer hormone that is produced by the body only in dark. What they found was the risk is greatest for those who don't go to sleep until very late, especially after 1:30 a.m. in the morning, those who have any light in their bedrooms, and late night shift workers, the longer they work nights, the greater the risks. So the important thing is, how do we counter act this? We counter act this by number one following the sleep guidelines. Sleep studies have shown the number of hours of sleep ideal for health and healing in a human being is 9.5 hours, with at least 3.5 before midnight. What does that mean? It means you are in bed by between 8:00 and 9:00 and you wake up at 6:00. Now for many you will say this is unrealistic, so what I say to you is get to bed as early as you can and wake up as early as you can and start making changes even if it just thirty minutes or fifteen minutes earlier each night or when you can. The other thing is critical make sure your bedroom is dark. Do not have any lights on, any night lights, any lights at all that are perceivable and also if light comes in from the outside from the streetlights, purchase shades that have light blocking, which means they do not permit any light to come through the shade. Another important thing to affect health and healing are the7 Basic Steps to Total Health^(TM):

1. Air--deep diaphragm breathing to oxygenate your body.

2. Water--drink 32 ounces of distilled water per 50/lbs per body weight per day.

3. Food--consume a diet of living/raw plant food which has the highest energy, bioelectricity, enzymes and bioavailable nutrient content to either maintain or restore your health.

4. Sleep--sleep 9.5 hours with 3.5 of them before midnight.

5. Exercise--exercise 30 minutes every day.

6. Fasting--fast from the normal Standard American Diet (SAD).

7. Prayer--take the time throughout your day to regularly still your mind so you can hear the voice of God spoken into your heart.

Now, if a person was on a night shift and they could not switch their job, they can still balance their health at a higher level if they do the other 6 of the 7 Basic Steps. The average American breaks most all of them, so in all these studies, we are taking typical Americans that are breaking all the steps. If you can live 6 of those 7 steps at a high level, the body will absorb that 7 steps not being ideal, so that recommendation is when you cannot sleep 9.5 hours or when you have to work a late night shift, make sure you are living the other 6 of the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health at the highest level you possibly can.

Pesticides and Parkinson's Desease

Pesticides Could Raise Parkinson's Risk

Exposure to pesticides, may boost the long-term risk for developing Parkinson's disease by 70 percent, a new study suggests.

These findings do back up earlier animal studies linking pesticide exposure to motor function abnormalities and lower levels of the brain neurotransmitter dopamine. Declines in dopamine have long been associated with Parkinson's.

"This is the first large human study that shows that exposure to pesticide is associated with a higher incidence of Parkinson's," said study lead author Dr. Alberto Ascherio, associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

The researchers studied 413 participants who were diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Exposed patients were twice as likely to be blue-collar workers and 14 times more likely to work as either a farmer, rancher, or fisherman.

However, the same risk of disease was found between patients who experienced exposure because of their work, such as farmers, and those who came into contact with the chemicals because of home or garden use.

The Harvard team found that, regardless of occupation, pesticide exposure boosted long-term Parkinson's risk by 70 percent over the long-term.

-Annals of Neurology.

Dr. Keith and Laurie Nemec's comments on pesticides could raise Parkinson's risk.

This study which was published in the Annals of Neurology was the first to show that exposure to pesticides may increase long term risk for developing Parkinson's Disease by 70%, and was the first large human study that showed exposure to pesticides is associated with higher incidences of Parkinson's according to lead author, Dr. Ascherio, Associate Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. Another interesting note in the study was exposure was 14 times more likely to be found in workers that either were farmers, ranchers or fishermen. But they stated, however, no differences were found in terms of risk increased between patients who been experienced exposure because of their work, again being farmers, or those who came in contact with chemicals because of home or garden use. That's the key, the home and garden pesticides that we are putting on our lawns and in our gardens, are weakening our immune systems and increasing the risk of all types of diseases and weakening of the immune systems in this study confirming Parkinson's Disease, but also knowing that these chemicals will increase our susceptibility to all disease, including immune suppressive diseases like cancer. What's the answer? Very simply, go natural. You can find by planting certain herbs in your garden they repel insects. By not needing to have a green, green lawn but tolerating some dandelions you might just save your life. Also chemicals enter your body by the food you eat so buy organic food whenever possible, eat a plant based diet instead of an animal based diet, animal concentrate chemicals, toxins and hormones in their fat tissue. You don't have a risk of this when you are eating plant material. And you especially have no risk at all when you eat plant material that is organic. So organic plant material as opposed to eating animal products, there's up to a thousand times difference in these toxins, chemicals, in the food sources. So the more chemicals that go into the body, the more toxins that go into the body, the higher the risks of all diseases. So if one adopts the 7 Basics Steps, Total Health Lifestyle, one becomes more disease protective in all areas. The7 Basic Steps to Total Health^(TM) which are:

1. Air--deep diaphragm breathing to oxygenate your body.

2. Water--drink 32 ounces of distilled water per 50/lbs per body weight per day.

3. Food--consume a diet of living/raw plant food which has the highest energy, bioelectricity, enzymes and bioavailable nutrient content to either maintain or restore your health.

Eat Less and Live Longer

The Ultimate Longevity Secrets Discovered at Last?

According to this fascinating video segment aired recently on Nova, only one in 10,000 of us will live to see 100. But scientists are working on finding ways to increase that number. Researchers found cutting the food intake of just about any organism by up to 30-40 percent extended its life by as much as 60 percent. Calorie restriction reduces insulin levels and triggers the production of sirtuins, which are produced as part of an intricate stress response that kicks an organism into survival mode (which beefs up DNA repair and prevents cells from dying). Another variable that triggered the production of sirtuins and the longer lives of flies, worms and likely mice was increasing their intake of the antioxidant resveratrol.

Nova Science Now January 9, 2007

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

When I first read of one of the primary active ingredients in grape seeds and skins, resveratrol, I was very excited. However, the research on it can be a bit confusing, which is why I was so delighted to find this excellent video that breaks the research down into simple language. If you have any interest in extending your lifespan you will want to watch this video that reviews one of the major Harvard researchers performing much of the pioneering work in the field. Calorie restriction, if you limit your foods to those that will not raise your insulin levels, will also tend to increase your lifespan. That means lowering grains and sugars, the foundation of my Total Health Program. However, while effective, this is not at all a very satisfying way to live your life, in constant deprivation. Most would never tolerate this. However, resveratrol can provide nearly identical benefits without the pain by activating the same genes as calorie restriction. You can obtain reservatrol from natural sources such as whole grape skins and seeds. Resveratrol is also found in raspberries, mulberries and peanuts, and is known to have a number of beneficial health effects, including fighting cancer. It belongs to a family of compounds known as polyphenols, which are known to combat damaging free radicals in the body. Although reservatrol is in grapes you wlll still want to stay away from red wine as your primary source for resveratrol. Not only does the alcohol contained in red wine have the potential to disrupt your delicate hormonal balance, it is a neurotoxin that can poison your brain. On Vital Votes, Russ from Soquel, California offers up some anecdotal evidence: "I have a grandmother who is 97, soon to be 98, and very likely to reach 100 (or well beyond) and in perfect mental health, with her only complaint physically being a sore knee. "Curiously, but not surprisingly, in relation to this article's suggestions, her entire life has indeed been one of no consumption of tobacco products, no alcoholic beverages, and a restricted calorie intake, of 1,500 calories or less per day, of simple and unprocessed food sources, low, or void, in any refined or processed sweeteners. "She also has a remarkable ability to adjust to any stress, with a very positive outlook, as she has clearly out lived all her contemporary relatives and friends, and adjusted well to everyone being much younger that her."

Sun Healing

More Evidence Vitamin D Prevents Parkinson's Disease and Cancer

In an excellent paper, a pair of researchers (father and son) presented considerable evidence that vitamin D deficiency is a cause, and possibly the major cause, of Parkinson's disease. The researchers reviewed a 1997 case report in which a patient with Parkinson's disease steadily improved when treated daily with 4,000 IU of vitamin D. At the same time, two new meta-analysis studies (which combine data from multiple reports) have found even more evidence that vitamin D is an important cancer-fighting tool. The first study examined nearly 1,800 records and found that: People with the highest blood levels of vitamin D had the lowest risk of breast cancer Those with the lowest vitamin D levels had the highest rates of breast cancer The second study, which looked at nearly 1,500 people, showed similar results. Raising vitamin D levels (serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D) to 34 ng/ml reduced rates of colorectal cancer by half, while raising levels to 46ng/ml cut the risk by two-thirds.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

I have been pointing out the relationship between vitamin D deficiency, Parkinson's disease, cancer, and numerous other health problems for many years now. Optimizing your sun exposure and levels of vitamin D may, indeed, be one of the most important physical steps you can take in support of your long-term health. It is important to understand that the ideal and STRONGLY preferred method of increasing your vitamin D level is through appropriate sun exposure. That said, the ideal way to boost your vitamin D levels -- through safe exposure to sunshine every day -- can be a huge challenge during the winter months for many of you. If you choose to take a high-quality cod liver oil to help you get the vitamin D your body needs every day, please have your blood levels checked with regularity, because it can be particularly dangerous not to monitor them. For a while, because of this, I was of the opinion that cod liver oil might not be your ideal method of getting supplemental vitamin D, but after reviewing this with my experts I believe I may have been a bit too harsh on cod liver oil. Cod liver oil also has valuable natural vitamin A, which somewhat limits the vitamin D toxicity. We use large amounts of cod liver oil in our clinic and have not really seen very many people overdose on it. While you can overdose and have toxic levels of vitamin D on it, this will not happen for most people if you are careful and use prudent doses, and most importantly regularly check your blood levels of vitamin D. You CANNOT get vitamin D from full-spectrum bulbs; it has to be a bulb that produces ultraviolet radiation -- UVB specifically, as that is what causes your skin to convert cholesterol into vitamin D. It is possible to get this from a tanning booth, but the EMFs (electromagnetic fields) are of major concern (they are produced by the magnetic ballasts). It is possible to use newer electronic ballasts, though, which virtually eliminate this risk and are safe. They also use about 30 percent less electricity and produce more light so they are far more economical to run. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any regular commercial sources, but I am on the lookout for businesses that offer this service. So if you know of any tanning parlors in the United States that offer this, please fill out the form below. I will be glad to host a directory on my site of locations that offer these services so you can save yourself some legwork. You can also use this as powerful leverage to your current tanning bed place to convince them to switch their ballasts; we will advertise for them for free, so they will likely get a quick return on their healthy investment. In the meantime, here are some other natural weapons that can fight Parkinson's disease: Eating the foods your body burns best according to its unique metabolic type. Reducing your exposure to pesticides. Taking the antibiotic, Minocin. Getting a better handle on your emotions by learning a tool like the Emotional Freedom Technique. Starting an exercise program. And for cancer, you can eliminate your risks by following the proactive, drug-free approach found in my extensive list of recommendations.

Reduction of Alzheimer's Symptoms

Eating less reduces Alzheimer's symptoms in mice

Eating fewer calories may help prevent the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, researchers reported.

A study in mice suggests a lower-calorie diet can help trigger the production of a protein that protects the brain from the disease, said researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.

In the study, the mice in one group were permitted to eat as they wanted, while the other group of mice was fed only 70 percent of that amount.

When the animals were killed six months later, researchers discovered the brains of the calorie-restricted mice held significantly higher levels of an anti-aging protein, SIRT1, the researchers reported in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

That protein has been shown to curtail and reverse the production of plaque in the brain, a typical symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have found the protein can also enhance the function of a patient's metabolism, kidneys and liver.

"The real message is that, in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease, caloric restriction led to the elevation of molecules that are associated with longevity and good health," said Dr. Giulio Pasinetti, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience who led the study.

"This may be the reason why caloric restriction may work to prevent Alzheimer's disease."

The Mount Sinai study confirms other research that has found a relationship between what and how much people eat and risk for the disease in general.

"The same things that we know are good for your body -- particularly your vascular system -- are all part of maintaining healthy brain function," said Dr. Bill Thies, a staff pharmacologist at the Alzheimer's Association.

- Journal of Biological Chemistry

Dr. Keith & Laurie Nemec's comments on eating less reduces Alzheimer's symptoms in mice.

In this study, that was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, it showed that when mice were permitted to eat as much as they wanted, as opposed to the other group which was fed only 70% of that amount, that the animals on the calorie restricted diet had a significantly higher levels of anti aging protein called SRIT1. This protein had been shown to reverse the production of plague in the brain, which is typical in the symptoms of Alzheimer Disease. It also showed that this protein enhances the function of metabolism, kidneys and liver. This is yet another study confirming the power of calorie restriction. Not only increasing longevity, being the only proven mechanism to increase longevity, but also decreasing the formation of all disease in the body whether life threatening disease or not. So what will calorie restriction do for you? It will decrease inflammation in the body and inflammation is the root of all disease. So, not only does it do this for Alzheimer's, but also will decrease cancer, diabetes, heart disase, autoimmune disease, all diseases will be decreased when you adopt a calorie restriction lifestyle. And this still goes into the 7 Basic Step. As you live the 7 Basic Step lifestyle you will live the life that God has called you to live. Calorie restriction is the only method that has been proved to increase longevity, but health and healing is not about doing one of the 7 Basic Steps, but all 7 of them, then not only can you increase your longevity, but you can increase not only the number of years, but the life in those years. What is important in life is to live life fully in each and every moment and when one adopts the 7 Basics Steps to Total Health lifestyle, this is exactly what happens. The7 Basic Steps to Total Health^(TM) are:

1. Air--you are not deep diaphragm breathing to oxygenate your body.

2. Water--you are not drinking 32 ounces of distilled water per 50/lbs per body weight per day.

3. Food--you are not consuming a diet of living/raw plant food which has the highest energy, bioelectricity, enzymes and bioavailable nutrient content to either maintain or restore your health.

4. Sleep--you are not sleeping 9.5 hours with 3.5 of them before midnight.

5. Exercise--you are not exercising 30 minutes every day.

6. Fasting--you are not fasting from the normal Standard American Diet (SAD).

7. Prayer--you are taking the time throughout your day to regularly still your mind so you can hear the voice of God spoken into your heart.

Something to contemplate is this, when we see that calorie restriction is the only proven mechanism to increase longevity, we go back to basics how did God design mankind to live? Well He designed mankind to of course exercise. He designed mankind to eat a living/ raw plant diet. He designed mankind to go to bed when the sun goes down and wake up when the sun comes up. He designed mankind to drink water. He designed mankind to breathe the breath of life, His breath fully. He designed mankind to be able to fast, which not only is a form of calorie restriction but in fasting one would detox the body of any accumulative waste products. And He designed the body, mind, emotions, spirit complex to be still and know Him. To live a life of prayer, listening to His voice spoken into their hearts. When you live this life, this 7 Basic Steps to Total Health lifestyle, you will age less rapidly, you will live a much higher quality of life and you will transform more into all that He is created you to be in body, mind and spirit.

Excess Pounds may raise Ovarian Cancer Risk

Excess pounds may raise ovarian cancer risk

Being overweight in young adulthood or later in life may raise a woman's risk of ovarian cancer, particularly if she's never had children, researchers have found.

In a study of 2,110 women with and without ovarian cancer, researchers found that those who were relatively heavy, either in recent years or at the age of 18, were more likely than thinner women to develop the disease.

But the relationship between weight and ovarian cancer was strongest among women who'd never given birth. For them, cancer risk climbed in tandem with recent body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight in relation to height.

Among childless women, those who were obese in recent years had 2.5 times the risk of ovarian cancer compared with the thinnest women. The same pattern emerged when the researchers looked at the women's weight gain since age 18, according to Dr. Julia Greer and her colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The new findings suggest that in overweight women who've had no children, the effects of excess body fat and "incessant" ovulation combine to raise the risk of ovarian cancer, according to the study authors.

The findings offer yet another reason to maintain a healthy weight throughout life. And that goes for all women, whether they've had children or not, according to Dr. Greer.

According to American Cancer Society estimates, Greer noted, at least one third of all cancer deaths in the U.S. each year are attributable to excess weight and obesity.

-Cancer

Dr. Keith and Laurie Nemec's comments on excessive pounds raise ovarian cancer risks.

This study can be summarized very simply that women that were obese had 2½ times greater risk of ovarian cancer compared to the thinnest women. These findings were stated in the Journal, Cancer. The mechanism behind this is excessive body fat which can raise levels of estrogen in the body. Estrogen is a pusher driver hormone that increases cell production so this may feed ovarian tumor development. The research in the Journal, Cancer also stated that according to the American Cancer Society, estimates that at least 1/3 of all cancer deaths in the United States each year are attributable to excess of weight and obesity. This is very important. SO how do we counter act this? You don't counter act disease by focusing on disease. You do not counter act weight gain or obesity by focusing on your weight, the way you counter act all of the is by looking at the opposite. Instead of trying to get rid of the weight or the disease, the focus is 100% on getting health in body, mind and spirit. The more balanced the body is, the mind and emotions, the more the body is going to go into a natural weight for the body. And how do we do this? With the7 Basic Steps to Total Health^(TM) which are:

1. Air--you are not deep diaphragm breathing to oxygenate your body.

2. Water--you are not drinking 32 ounces of distilled water per 50/lbs per body weight per day.

3. Food--you are not consuming a diet of living/raw plant food which has the highest energy, bioelectricity, enzymes and bioavailable nutrient content to either maintain or restore your health.

4. Sleep--you are not sleeping 9.5 hours with 3.5 of them before midnight.

5. Exercise--you are not exercising 30 minutes every day.

6. Fasting--you are not fasting from the normal Standard American Diet (SAD).

7. Prayer--you are taking the time throughout your day to regularly still your mind so you can hear the voice of God spoken into your heart.

When you live the 7 Basic Steps, day in and day out you will go to the ideal weight for your body type. So just to review, the earlier a person gets to bed and the more they sleep the more the metabolism balances and the less a person will gain weight. So a healing person is in bed between eight and nine and they are up by six. The next important factor is diet, most importantly we want to eat a living/raw plant based diet, which not only is lowest in calories but highest in nutrients for health and healing. This definitely decreases weight. Then exercise. You want to be doing 30 minutes of aerobic type or cardio vascular type exercise. Cellular exercise, rebounding cellular exercise being the best. This exercise should be done daily. These are three biggest factors in affecting health gain from a physical point of view. From a mental emotion point of view the most important factor is how a person sees themselves and what they see their purpose in life and are they fulfilling that purpose. The more a person is fulfilling the purpose for which God put in their heart the less they will turn to food for pleasure, because HE is their pleasure. The more they do not know what their purpose is, and are not receiving their pleasure from their purpose in life, and from their relationship with HIM who created them, the more they will seek pleasures outside and the most easily accessible pleasure for all Americans is food.

Avoid All Kinds of Vaccines

Shocking Documentary Will Convince You to Stay Away From Vaccines For Good

Among other things, you'll wonder why the American Academy of Pediatrics still fights state legislatures about the use of thimerosal (mercury) in vaccines behind the scenes after publicly asking for its removal eight years ago, after watching Brownyn Hancock's disturbing documentary Vaccination: The Hidden Truth. Hancock's 90-minute film delves into the truth behind the real dangers of vaccines, often using the very same peer-reviewed research emanating from conventional medicine, and just as my friend and colleague, Dr. Russell Blaylock, has done on my Web site.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:

If you've ever doubted the real need for vaccinations, especially with recent recommendations from the CDC to vaccinate young girls needlessly for the human papillomavirus (HPV), I urge you to watch this video**, then review the many pages on this site devoted to this urgent and completely preventable problem. The type of morally reprehensible behavior exhibited by the CDC is a strong illustration of why the American conventional "health" care system is fatally flawed. If you are unsure about the safety of vaccines, I strongly encourage you to examine the evidence carefully, because the consequences can be severe and tragic. The toxic link between vaccines laced with thimerosal and the epidemic of autism, as well as other neurological disorders, should be sufficient in and of itself to convince people of the extent of the problem. On Vital Votes, Dr. Jason Lauer from Waukesha, Wisconsin adds: "Vaccination is a great example of how fear motivates smart people into making irrational health decisions. My point being that fear of disease, not informed decision making, is most often the motivation for vaccinating. "I believe that one of the best decisions that my wife and I made was not vaccinating our four children. I was blessed to have my chiropractor encourage me to look into vaccination before it was too late and I could not take the decision back. The decision was made when evidence was lacking regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccination. "Christopher Kent, DC (who has authored articles on this site) has four recommendations for giving kids a great start: 1) Breast feed for at least one year. 2) Raise the child in a loving environment. 3) Regular Chiropractic adjustments. 4) Avoid vaccinations. Along with proper nutrition and exercise, my kids are some of the healthiest kids I know. Their strong host resistance is not from medicines and vaccinations, but a healthy, well rounded lifestyle. "I was told by a mentor 'Spend at least as much time researching vaccination as you would researching the new car you want to buy.' Our children deserve at least that much."

Cure AIDS with Electricity

I received this e-mail:

This is strictly for informational purposes.

After researching the Dr Beck Protocol for some time I have stumbled upon a super simple technique removing the need to conjure up a 3.92 52Vp-p square wave oscillator.

One of the adverts of the Dr. Beck protocol had been experimenting with a simple 6V lantern battery. Dr. Beck had known this and had nicknamed it 'The Godzilla' However Dr. Beck had recommended the 3.92 Hz Oscillation technique as it prevented electrolysis from occuring at skin contact.

This is a super simple method if one wants to apply the Beck Protocl without having to hunt down or build an oscillator. Wire 3 9-Volt Batteries in series to give 27 Volts. Add longer wires to the Red and Black lead so that the batteries leads can reach where you need them. Next dowse two standard clean rags in salt water and wire the leads to each rag. After that place one rag on the wrist, and the second rag in the palm of the hand of the same arm as the wrist. You will feel it some, depending on how much salt you put in the water, but it will 'work around' the electrolysis problem by distributing the current over a larger area of the arm. If one is interested by wiring a current meter in series one can monitor the current levels.

I just did this and monitored about 2.5 to 6 mA. I would NOT recommend you hold a rag in each hand as that current will travel through the organs and may or may not send a heart stopping pulse.

Here is a excellent read going back to when the Beck Protocol was first being observed

Curing Viruses With Electricity

15th Nov 2002

CURING VIRUSES USING SMALL ELECTRIC CURRENTS!

This week I would like to share with you something that I read about, and have consequently tested on myself as well as a number of patients who volunteered. It is how to kill the HIV virus, as well as many other viruses while they are in the blood using a simple "Black Box" device that produces a minute current using batteries. Interested? Read on, it is truly fascinating!

ELECTRICITY KILLS VIRUSES!

In a remarkable discovery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, N.Y.C. in 1990, it was shown that a minute current (50 to 100 MICRO amperes) can alter outer protein layers of HIV virus in a petri dish so as to prevent its subsequent attachment to receptor sites. (SCIENCE NEWS, March 30, 1991 page 207.) It may also reverse Epstein Barr (chronic fatigue syndrome), hepatitis, and herpes B. HIV positive users of this enclosed information may expect a NEGATIVE p24 surface antigen or PCR test (no more HIV detectable in blood) after 30 days. This is reminiscent of a well-proven cure for snakebite by application of electric current that instantly neutralizes the venom's toxicity. (LANCET, July 26, 1986, page 229.) And there may be several other as yet undiscovered or untested viruses neutralizable with this discovery.

This very simple blood clearing treatment offered great promise as a positive method for immobilizing known strains of HIV still present and contaminating some European and US blood bank reserve supplies. It was further suggested that infected human HIV carriers could be cured by removing their blood, treating it electrically and returning it by methods similar to dialysis. Dr.
Steven Kaali, MD, projected that "years of testing will be in order before such an IN VITRO (blood removed for treatment) device can be made ready for widespread use" (LONGEVITY, Dec. 1992, page 14.).

DR. ROBERT BECK

The pioneer scientist and inventor of this remarkable device is Dr. Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. (See http://www.ioa.com/~dragonfly/morebeck.html for more info). In Dr. Beck's opinion both blood and lymph can be cleared IN VIVO (which means blood isn't removed) simply, rapidly, and inexpensively with similar but NON-INVASIVE techniques. Electronic and controlled electroporation approaches may well make vaccines (even if possible someday), pharmaceuticals, supplements, oxygen and diet therapies, plus other proposed remedies obsolete, even if they worked and were free.

In a public lecture (Oct. 19, 1991) the writer's opinion proposed this theoretical do-it-yourself method for accomplishing HIV "neutralization" IN VIVO. Subsequently, his original modalities
and protocols have been extensively peer reviewed, refined, simplified and made universally affordable (under $75 for BOTH devices including batteries when self-made). These two simple treatments used in tandem can potentially nullify well over 95% (and perhaps 100%) of known HIV strains residing in BOTH blood, lymph, and other body tissue and fluids.

Following is a summary of two years of offshore feedback with this non-iatrogenic, do-it yourself, simple and inexpensive experimental solution to the ever escalating AIDS dilemma. There are no known side effects since milliampere currents are much lower than those in FDA approved TENS, CES and muscle stimulators which have been in daily use for many years. Battery replacement costs are under 25c per month per user or about 1c per day for a typical 21 day "spontaneous remission".

No doctors, pharmaceuticals, ozone, or other intervention appears necessary. The pocket-sized, battery-powered, BLOOD clearing instrument is basically a miniature relay driven by a timer chip set to ~0.67 Hertz. Its 0 to 36V user adjustable biphasic output minimizes electrode site irritation. The described system delivers stimulation through NORMALLY CIRCULATING BLOOD via electrodes placed at selected sites (such as one electrode behind ankle bone on inside of foot and another identically located on opposite foot) over the sural, popliteal, posterior tibial, or peronal arteries where the subjects' veins and arteries are accessibly close to the surface.

Using neutralization approximately 8 to 20 minutes per day for about three or four weeks should, according to Dr. Beck, effectively immobilize well over 95% of any HIV and simultaneously any other electrosensitive viruses in blood. In heavy infections, shorter application times could prevent overloading patient with toxins. Simply treat for a greater number of days.

In time, the restored immune system will handle residual problems. In the special case of impaired circulation due to diabetes, longer treatment times may be indicated. Immobilized viruses may be expelled naturally through kidneys and liver. More rapid neutralization is easily possible but not recommended because of potential excessive toxic elimination reactions. (Herxheimer's syndrome). T-cell counts may drop initially (because of lysing and subsequent scavenging by macrophages) but should recover to over 200 within 90 days.

The Toxic Air

Toxic Dust -a Health Threat

Americans are exposed to a variety of potentially dangerous chemicals in their homes from products such as computers, frying pans and shower curtains, according to a new study released.

The study, called "Sick of Dust," found 35 hazardous industrial chemicals in household dust samples from 70 homes in seven states, including Michigan and California. It was commissioned by nine environmental groups, including the Center for Environmental Health in Oakland and the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition in San Jose.

"It literally brings home the fact that hazardous chemicals are in our daily lives," said Beverly Thorpe, international director for Clean Production Action, one of the study's sponsors. "We feel now is a prime opportunity to overhaul chemical regulation in the United States."

The researchers tested the dust samples for six types of chemicals, including pesticides and flame retardants. All the chemicals are legal, but many are known to be harmful to immune, respiratory, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. They said infants and young children are especially vulnerable to exposure.

But the American Chemistry Council, which represents major chemistry companies, said that just because a substance is found in dust or in the body at low levels doesn't necessarily mean it causes health problems.

The study's backers said they decided to test dust samples in U.S. homes after seeing similar studies that found high levels of toxic chemicals in households in Europe, where lawmakers are tightening regulation of chemical production.

They said they hope the test results will help prompt state and federal legislation to curb the use of dangerous chemicals in the production of household goods, ranging from furniture and clothes to carpets and nail polish.

Dr. Keith & Laurie Nemec Comments on Mold and Dust

Your home is your sanctuary and your bedroom is your inner sanctuary. Four things are major offenders of your health in your household environment.

1. Mold

2. Dust

3. Chemicals

4. Bacteria and viruses

As these studies have shown, the mold will weaken the immune system and trigger many types of immune disorders one being asthma. Dust is very toxic because it represents the chemicals in your house and the world. This study shows 35 hazardous industrial chemicals in household dust, some including pesticides, toxic chemicals, and flame retardants just to name a few.

Another study shows that common house dust contained 33 chemicals that promote breast cancer formation.

What is the answer?

First purify your home environment by the following steps:

1. Never use standard cleaning supplies in your house, only all natural, nontoxic substances.

2. Remove all carpets as soon as possible. Carpets are loaded with chemicals, mold and dust. Replace with hardwood floors.

3. Get rid of draperies, window treatments and any other dust collectors.

4. Purchase a Fresh Air which detoxifies chemicals, kills mold, bacteria and settles floating dust to the ground.
