If we’re going to focus on developing a strong, healthy future nation, then we must start with our children. How do we go about raising and developing children who can function and perform at their best? One of the ways to accomplish this is to help them develop a titanium-like immune system. In order to achieve this, we need to first look at the chemicals with which we’ve traditionally subjected their bodies. In 2009 the American Journal of Pediatrics released a statement that children and adults should not be taking “cold” medications. They have been shown to damage the body and the normal development of the immune system and can actually create disease. Phenylpropylalanine, an active ingredient, has been implicated in the cause of strokes, brain bleeding, and … [Read more...]
A Must Read…If you Love YOUR Child!
Forceps delivery may involve an increased risk of injury to the upper cervical spine and spinal cord. The application and/or misapplication of these and other similar extraction aids can cause upper neck complications/subluxations. Recent statistics have shown that over 6,000 students will go to an emergency room and 21,000 will be seen by healthcare providers. Sudden neck snapping in extension, flexion, and compression to the head or buttocks from falls can cause spine and/or spinal cord injury. Activities that are commonly associated with falls that can cause pediatric spinal trauma/subluxation are skate boarding, trampoline, roller blades, horseback riding, surfing, water slides, or diving in shallow water. Gutmann, a medical/manual medicine doctor studied … [Read more...]
Silent, but DEADLY!
*Insulin doubles death rate in type 2 diabetics! A new study clearly documents that a standard treatment for type 2 diabetes is a killer, resulting in more than double the rates. The treatment justification has always been based on irrelevant criteria-just as it is with most pharmaceutical treatments. According to Heidi Stevenson (a drug side-effect victim): “It seems so intuitive: People with diabetes should inject insulin. In the case of people with type 1 diabetes, in which the pancreas doesn't produce insulin, that's probably true. However, modern doctors routinely give insulin to people with type 2 diabetes simply because it reduces blood sugar levels. The reality, though, is that type 2 diabetics who take insulin injections die at more … [Read more...]
BAD GENES, HUH?
Much of what happens to us is not within our control but when it comes to our health, we can do much to affect the outcome of our quality of life. And it’s only when we begin possessing right and timely knowledge can we take control of our health. The focus of this month is Diabetes awareness. Diabetes happens to be one of the fastest growing diseases in the U.S. and in fact one of the deadliest. There is so much we can do to stave off this disease as well as combat its deadly affects once it has arrived. Restoration and then preservation of the sugar regulating physiology of the body is paramount if we are ever going to tame the diabetes monster. Without question, diabetes is the most devastating pathology and challenge the human body can experience. The reason why is … [Read more...]
Wake up & Smell the… Diabetes!
Abdominal obesity (waist circumference)Men --- waist greater than 40 inches Women --- waist greater than 35 inchesTriglycerides --- greater than 150 mg/dl HDL Cholesterol (men) --- less than 40 mg/dl HDL (women) --- less than 50 mg/dl Blood pressure --- greater than 130/85 mm Hg Fasting glucose --- greater than 110 mg/dl Whenever we refer to type II diabetes, we should think of it as the metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome actually takes effect decades before overt diabetes develops. When scientists analyzed the Nurses’ Health Study --- in which 118,000 nurses were followed for decades, they found that 10 years before diabetic nurses developed overt diabetes, the risk of cardiovascular disease for those with the metabolic syndrome increased 360% … [Read more...]
