The dreaded “C” word is really scary to people.

But, there are a lot of people in remission, and many of them may never see cancer again. In other words, cancer is not a death sentence.

If you look at the human body as loaded with healing mechanisms, you wonder how people get sick at all.

This is totally different than what most people have been taught to believe. Modern Medicine doesn’t have all of the answers. If it did, there wouldn’t be so many health problems.

Why be scared of illness, why be scared of cancer?

Check out this over 400 page resource of things people have done to combat cancer and you will begin to see that there is indeed hope.

I have a copy of this book and you should have one too. (see disclaimer at the bottom of the page)

Contact Lens Solution tainted:

Looks like Bausch & Lomb’s Renu with MoistureLoc solution is under suspicion of facilitating an eye fungal infection that causes temporary blindness. The contact lens solution maker has voluntarily stopped shipping this particular lens solution.

If you wear contacts be very careful. I have been using a brand of solution for disinfection that I get at Wal Mart. It is cheaper than the expensive B&L and Alcon solutions and seems to work just fine.

I’ve been wearing contacts since I was 12, so about 25 years now. I’ve recently started washing my eyes with and eyecup, lemon juice and distilled water. I just use a single drop of the lemon juice. Don’t do this yourself, consult with your eye doctor if you are having any eye problems.

I love washing my eyes. I admit it sounds kind of gross, but people used to do it back in the early 1900s. You can get eyewash and an eye cup at just about any drugstore.

After wearing contact lenses all day, my eyes enjoy getting ‘washed’. They feel better. It is nice do do upon waking up too.

Here is a list of Contact Lens Vendors.

Bird Flu

You know it is amazing how much Bird Flu turns up in the NEWS. It seems like everyone is afraid.

I guess if I were to get bird flu, I would jump for colloidal silver at my local drug store. Silver has the ability to kill both bacteria and viruses. But, you’re not likely to hear doctors talk about it. For one, it is available without a prescription.

One of the side effects of too much silver in the body is the skin turning blue. I don’t think anyone wants that.

Honestly though, I haven’t been sick in over 6 years. I ‘ve been practicing Falun Gong exercises and I can’t help but think it has an influence over the health of my body.

Things people have used on Cancer

I have a book on Natural Cancer Treatments. It has over 400 pages and is very informative.

Of course, if you have cancer you should consult with your physician, but it certainly is nice to have additional information at your fingertips!

People have used many methods to combat cancer. And there are many theories out there on cancer causes too. Who is right and what works? That is the question.

Weight Loss

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is the number one downloaded book on Clickbank.

I recently did a post on weight loss, check it out.

Personally, I don’t think it is that hard to lose or control weight. It is a matter of a little bit of knowledge. There are foods that raise metabolism. It is also prudent to avoid high fat and sugar combination foods. Just take a look at the snacks people it and you will discover the great majority of the problem.

Obesity is a big problem in the United States. I’ve recently read that lawmakers are trying to outlaw junk food from schools. It seems that 18% of boys and 16% of girls are overweight. This number is up from 14% previously.

ADHD

It appears that the FDA has approved a patch to control Attention Defecit Disorder.
The patch contains methylphenidate. This is what is in Ritalin.

In my humble opinion, too many kids are on this drug. I sometimes wonder if this is about controlling the behavior of kids more than about whether they actually have ADHD or not. And frankly, it scares me.

Anyway, there is an ADHD herbal remedy that I would personally choose if I had ADHD over prescription medications. But that is just me, consult with your physician if you or your loved one suffers from ADHD or ADD.

Drugs

Merck, a pharmaceutical company was ordered to pay 4 Million on a case on Vioxx, a painkiller that may be linked to heart problems.

One thing I learned in school that I will pass on to you is the generalization:
“All drugs have side effects”. Make sure you know what the side effects are for any drugs you are taking. There should be information that comes with your prescription that details the possible side effects of a drug.

Listen to the story on Vioxx

Why not go one further and ask your pharmacist about side effects, before you purchase the prescription.

Here is a curious story about a woman that I met in
Washington DC.

She was older than me, perhaps mid 60′s We were both
there to attend a Falun Dafa conference.

She had an amazing story to tell. The finer
details may escape me now as this was a
few years ago, but here is her story colored
through the length of time that has passed
and my memory of her story.

She had watched her daughter struggle with
and die from cancer. The pain of watching
one’s child die has to be very great.

Shortly thereafter, she herself was diagnosed
with cancer. Tragedy heaped upon tragedy.

She followed the prescribed course of
treatment which was chemotherapy and
it was not working.

She knew that she was dying and made
preparations as she became weaker and
weaker.

Near the end she heard of Falun Dafa and
read ZhuanFalun (the main book of Falun Dafa)
Then she began practicing the slow, rounded
smooth and flowing exercises.

In a short period of time, her cancer went
into remission. Her body got stronger and
she had more energy than before.

She recovered fully.

Next, here is a story about my friend Cat
who lives a scant 40 miles from me.

Read her story here:

Next, Here is an ancient quote that I found in
this book:

http://tobeinformed.com/natural

( pay careful attention to the date of
the quote) :

“It should be forbidden and severely punished to remove
cancer by cutting, burning, cautery, and other fiendish
tortures. It is from nature and that the disease comes,
and from nature comes the cure, not from physicians.”
______ Paracelsus, (1493-1541 AD)

***important note, if you have cancer do not delay
seeking competent medical advice from a qualified,
licensed medical professional about treatment for
cancer or any other illness.

It’s a very interesting quote, isn’t it?

The book I mentioned above has over 400 pages of
natural cancer remedies listed in it.

Personally, the information in the book is worth the
cost of the book and beyond.

****

Many, many people today are on anti-depressant and
anti-anxiety medications of many sorts. Then there are
also the ADD and ADHD medications that are out there.
They are all fairly expensive, and require
prescriptions.

Yet, many people have overlooked natural alternatives,
In all of the cases above you can find a natural remedy
at a fraction of the cost at http://tobeinformed.com/herbal

Take a look on the left hand column of the screen and
you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Question: How do you lose weight around the mid section
and tone the arms?

Answer: Spot reduction does not work, you must reduce
your entire body fat percentage to get the fat off your
mid section.

Here is a book that teaches you to increase your
metabolism through diet.

http://tinyurl.com/7hwyd

As for toning up, you’ll want to tone the whole body,
not just the arms. I suggest aerobics. Tae Bo, Russian
Kettlebells: http://allthingspondered.com/kettlebells

, or the Power 90 system:

>>>>> Question: What can I do about bad breath that
won’t go away?

You can visit: http://tobeinformed.com/breath
on that site you will find very successful methods for
eliminating bad breath and stories to back them up.

The second option is to try http://ora-md.com Though
primarily for treating bleeding gums, I believe the
application may work for bad breath as well.

That’s all for this week, write in and let me know what
your questions are.

bad breath

Mom really did have a great reason for forcing us to eat those
horrible vegetables but I bet she didn’t even know the full
benefits.

It turns out that cruciferous
vegetables including broccoli,
cauliflower, brussel sprouts and
cabbage contain Indole 3 Carbinol
(I3C). I3C is the reason our moms
were so strongly encouraging us to
eat up.

Since being discovered, Indole 3
Carbinol has been used in many
studies that suggest several health
benefits, especially for women.
Oral ingestion of Indole 3 Carbinol
has been shown to alter the
metabolism of estrogen in a
beneficial manner. As we know from
hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
studies, excess estrogen in the
body can be damaging. It’s fairly
common knowledge that HRT can
increase the risks of most
gynecological cancers including
endometrial, ovarian and breast
cancer as well as increasing the
risks of heart attacks and stroke.
HRT can also induce PMS type
symptoms including bloating, breast
tenderness, moodiness and
irritability and water retention.

So, if all these things can occur
because of an increase in estrogen,
maybe we should understand a little
better what it is that is causing
this to happen. Here is a little
Biology 101.

Both male and female bodies have estrogen receptors. These
receptors are like electrical outlets. The purpose of estrogen
receptors is to receive estrogen and allow the body to process
the estrogen. Just like there are many different things that
you could plug into an electrical outlet, there are several
different types of estrogen that can plug into estrogen
receptors. In the case of electrical outlets, various things
will pull different amounts of power such as the difference
between a night light and a computer. Obviously, the computer
will draw much more power than the night light, but the least
amount of power will be drawn from one of those little plastic
safety plugs.

Back to the estrogen receptors. Different forms of estrogen;
phytoestrogen, estriol, estrone, estradiol and xenoestrogens,
have different effects when plugged into those estrogen
receptors. The weaker the estrogen, the less estrogenic effects
they will have on the body. The stronger the estrogen, the more
negative effects they will have on health. But just as any
house has a limited number of electrical outlets, the body has
a limited number of estrogen receptors.

Ideally we want to plug as many estrogen receptors as possible
with weak estrogens, primarily phytoestrogens which come from
plant sources. HRT and hormonal birth control methods all use
the strongest natural estrogen, estradiol. Indole 3 Carbinol
mimics the weakest forms of estrogen. Therefore, the more
Indole 3 Carbinol that is absorbed by the body and used to plug
the estrogen receptors, less receptors will be available to the
stronger estrogens.

Studies indicate that Indole 3 Carbinol is more beneficial than
Tamoxifen for the prevention of breast cancer1. This may be due
to I3C’s ability to mimic very weak estrogen in the body.

Studies have also indicated that Indole 3 Carbinol was
beneficial to mice suffering from Lupus and other autoimmune
disorders2.

Other studies indicate that Indole 3 Carbinol may be beneficial
for the following concerns.

• Ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Colon cancer
• Human Papilloma Virus (HVP)
• Cervical dysplasia3

In addition, because of the ability Indole 3 Carbinol seems to
have on estrogen, case studies are now showing it may be
beneficial for:

• Hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms
• Breast tenderness, cramping and other menstrual symptoms
• Helping to relieve muscle soreness do to exercise or
overexertion.

With so much contributing to the numerous benefits of Indole 3
Carbinol, it may be time to start listening to mom and eat
those veggies!

I was watching a show last night and this guy had
cancer. And it seemed that the show was giving
the impression that having cancer was equivalent
to dying.

I think this is not a correct picture. For example,
you hear about people going into remission all the time.

Of course there are no guarantees, but it just makes
sense to me that a person would want to arm themselves
with as many weapons as possible to overcome cancer.

That is why I like to tell people about this resource
If nothing else, knowledge is power and for something as
serious as cancer, I want all the power I can get on my side.

Don’t worry, I’m healthy. The cornerstone to my
personal health, fitness and wellness regimen is this.

Finally, I really am a fan of free information. The problem
is that a lot of free information is suspect when it comes
to quality.

Well, here is one free information resource that teaches
about bad breath and what can be done about it. I feel it
is a quality resource and that is why I don’t have trouble
recommending it.

Dave
