Carrot Juice

SHE WAS DRINKING CARROT JUICE EVERY MORNING FOR 8 MONTHS, AND THEN THE UNBELIEVABLE HAPPENED
admin@healthtipsportal.com | November 4, 2015 |


Ann Cameron is the author of many books for children, but in this story she is the main character. And it became even more famous after suffering from colon cancer.She underwent to the surgery in June 2012 when the disease entered in the third stage. It was not her first encounter with this cruel disease. Her husband died in 2005 of lung cancer despite chemotherapy.



Ann refused to go the same way as him and refused chemotherapy.

Her story has told on the blog “Chris beats cancer” where their stories are talking about people who have sought / found alternative ways of treating cancer.

“In June 2012, I was subjected to surgery for colon cancer, and after that I refused chemotherapy treatment. Every day I felt better, but after six months, the control examination showed that the cancer had spread to the lung, and colon cancer, entered in the fourth stage”, she told.

She claims how was dedicated to fundamental research and came across the story of Ralph Kalley who suffering from skin cancer at 26 years, according to his story, he cured by consuming daily juice made of 2.5 kilograms of carrots.

She decided to follow in his footsteps and began every day to drink carrot juice, distributing it evenly throughout the day.

As she claims, after eight weeks of the medical examination showed that the cancer had stopped spreading, the tumors began to shrink, and the swelling in the lymph nodes.

After four months nodes have returned to normal and the cancer has continued to retreat.

After eight months, computed tomography showed that the cancer had disappeared.

The secret is, apparently, that carrot juice is rich in fatty alcohol and natural pesticides with anti-tumor properties, and carotene from carrots act preventively to creating tumor cells.

Ann Cameron after her experience wrote a book “Curing cancer with carrots”, which can be purchased on Amazon.

Recipe:

– 6 carrots
– 1-inch piece fresh turmeric or ¼ to ½ teaspoon dried
– 1-inch piece ginger
– ½ lemon, peeled (optional to alkalize and lift the flavors)
– ½ cup water
– ⅛ teaspoon dried cinnamon

Put the ingredients through your juicer (You can use an Omega) alternating the carrots with the turmeric and ginger (to get the most juice out of them) and then drink pulped or strain with a fine mesh sieve. Stir through the cinnamon, and dilute with water if desired.

MOSQUITO COIL

ONE MOSQUITO COIL EQUALS 100 CIGARETTES


Smoke emitted from one mosquito repellent coil is equivalent to those of 100 cigarettes, thus causing harm to a large number of people. Not many people know about it, but the damage done to your health, especially lungs by one mosquito coil is equivalent to the damage done by 100 cigarettes. This was according to a recent study conducted in Malaysia.


Analysis:
This is a fact that everyone needs to be aware of. As the picture shows, the story is from an article published in Times of India. The article talks about the impact of using mosquito coils on health, especially in India where it is widely used.

The article is quoted by the director of Chest Research Foundation, Mr. Sandeep Salvi, who spoke at the conference 'Air Pollution and Our Health', which was organized by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) along with the Indian Council for Medical Research and the Indian Medical Association. He talks about a recent Malaysian study which insists that the damage done to lungs by one mosquito coil is equivalent to the damage done by 100 cigarettes. He further adds that while using mosquito coils, people are completely unaware of healthy risks of indoor air pollution like this.


Burning mosquito coils indoors is a common way to control mosquitoes effectively in homes, and are widely used in countries of Asia, Africa, and South America. However, the smoke that is emitted by these mosquito coils may contain pollutants that can of be serious health concern. Studies that tested this smoke have found significant amounts of volatile organic compounds in it, including carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals). Burning one mosquito coil released the same amount of particulate matter as burning 75-137 cigarettes would emit. The amount of formaldehyde (an irritating carcinogen that effects many processes inside body) emission from one mosquito coil was as high as that emitted when 51 cigarettes are burnt. You can find the complete details of the research in the reference section.

Therefore, it is quite evident that mosquito coil smoke poses both acute and chronic health risks, in the short and long term usage. So, one should avoid usage of these. Instead, to avoid and kill mosquitoes indoors, one should maintain hygienic atmosphere in and around home place and use natural and safe mosquito killers whenever necessary. Read the reference section for dealing with mosquitoes effectively.

Malaysian research on Mosquito coil emission

• Liu W, Zhang J, Hashim JH, Jalaludin J, Hashim Z, Goldstein BD 2003. Mosquito Coil Emissions and Health Implications. Environ Health Perspect 111:1454-1460. doi:10.1289/ehp.6286

In their paper, they first talk about the known toxic effects of mosquito coils, including "long-term exposure to mosquito coil smoke can induce asthma and persistent wheeze in children", as well as various symptoms in rat models.

They went on study the smoke of six different brands of mosquito coils from two different countries (Malaysia and China). They looked for troublesome components, such as particulate matter < 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and ketones in "realistic room conditions".

They generally found the levels of pollutant to be concerning, and the Malaysian brands were generally more polluting.

The findings from the present study suggest that exposure to the smoke of mosquito coils similar to the tested ones can pose significant acute and chronic health risks.

They compared some of the elements to cigarette smoke:

For example, burning one mosquito coil would release the same amount of PM2.5 mass as burning 75–137 cigarettes. The emission of formaldehyde from burning one coil can be as high as that released from burning 51 cigarettes.

Without trying to diminish the risks, it is important to note that this is saying that some of the components (PM2.5 and formaldehyde) in the mosquito coil smoke (inhaled over an 8 hour period) were as bad as some of the components in a large number of cigarettes. There may be other compounds in cigarette smoke that also cause damage which are not found in mosquito coils.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

About 50% of lung cancer deaths in Taiwan are not related to cigarette smoking. Environmental exposure may play a role in lung cancer risk. Taiwanese households frequently burn mosquito coil at home to repel mosquitoes. The aim of this hospital-based case-control study was to determine whether exposure to mosquito coil smoke is a risk for lung cancer.

METHODS:

Questionnaires were administered to 147 primary lung cancer patients and 400 potential controls to ascertain demographic data, occupation, lifestyle data, indoor environmental exposures (including habits of cigarette smoking, cooking methods, incense burning at home, and exposure to mosquito coil smoke ), as well as family history of cancer and detailed medical history.

RESULTS:

Mosquito coil smoke exposure was more frequent in lung cancer patients than controls (38.1% vs.17.8%; p<0.01). Risk of lung cancer was significantly higher in frequent burners of mosquito coils (more than 3 times [days] per week) than nonburners (adjusted odds ratio = 3.78; 95% confidence interval: 1.55-6.90). Those who seldom burned mosquito coils (less than 3 times per week) also had a significantly higher risk of lung cancer (adjusted odds ratio = 2.67; 95% confidence interval: 1.60-4.50).

CONCLUSION:

Exposure to mosquito coil smoke may be a risk factor for development of lung cancer.

---

The annual worldwide consumption of the four major types of residential insecticide products are -- aerosols, mosquito coils, liquid vaporizers, and vaporizing mats.

Mosquito coils are burned indoors and outdoors in regions like Asia, Africa, and South America. Mosquito coils consist of an insecticide/repellant, organic fillers capable of burning with smoldering, binder, and additives such as synergists, dyes, and fungicide.

Mosquito coil ingredients

Pyrethrum

Pyrethrins

Allethrin

Dibutyl hydroxyl toluene (BHT)

Piperonyl butoxide (PBO)

N-(2-ethylhexyl)-bicyclo-(2,2,1)hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboximide (MGK 264)

N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET)

N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET)

DEET is a registered pesticide. It is the most effective, and best studied, insect repellent currently on the market. This substance has a remarkable safety profile after 40 years of worldwide use. It has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Repellents with DEET are used by an estimated 200 million people worldwide each year.

The most common active ingredients in coils are various pyrethroids, such as allethrin, d-allethrin, pynamin forte and ETOC. Octachlorodipropylether (S-2) is sometimes used as a synergist or active ingredient and use of such coils exposes humans to some level of bis-chloromethyl ether (BCME) which is an extremely potent lung carcinogen. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) does not register S-2 for any use, some imported mosquito coils contain this chemical, but their use is illegal in the United States, moreover in places like India S-2 is not banned.

Other compounds, released during the burning of mosquito coils (aldehydes, formaldehydes, fine and ultrafine particles,benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene are also classified by the U.S. EPA as probable human carcinogens.

Mosquito coils burn for about 8hr without flame and kill or repel mosquitoes. Although they are recommended for outdoor use, or for use in semi-enclosed patios and porches, coils are often used overnight in sleeping quarters.

As a result peoples are exposed to a chemically complex mosquito-coil smoke containing small particles (< 1 µm), metal fumes, and vapors that may reach the alveolar region of the lung.

Burning of one mosquito coil would release the same amount of particulate matter (PM) 2.5 mass as burning 75-137 cigarettes; the emission of formaldehyde from burning one coil can be as high as that released from burning 51 cigarettes.

"Not many people know about it, but the damage done to your lungs by one mosquito coil is equivalent to the damage done by 100 cigarettes."

                                                                       - Sandeep Salvi, Chest Research Foundation Director

To avoid exposure from harmful chemically complex mosquito-coil smoke, usage of natural mosquito repellents is one of the best alternative methods.

Studies have shown that the best natural mosquito repellents usually contain more than just one type of oil.

Essential oils used in natural mosquito repellents

Lemon eucalyptus oil

Geranium oil

Soybean oil

Citronella

Fennel

Thyme

Clove oil

Celery extract

Neem oil

Picaridin

Bite Blocker, a repellent that contains geranium, soybean and coconut oil, can repel mosquitoes for up to 3 1/2 hours, longer than any repellent that contains only geranium oil.

Fennel - A small study by researchers at Seoul National University in Korea found that spray mosquito repellent containing 5 per cent fennel oil was 84 per cent effective after 90 minutes and a repellent cream with 8 per cent fennel oil was 70 per cent effective after 90 minutes.

Thyme - In one study, carvacrol and alpha-terpinene, two compounds derived from the essential oil of thyme, were found to have significantly greater repellency than a commercial N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET) repellent. The researchers suggest that a spray made with 2 per cent alpha terpinene is a promising natural mosquito repellent.

Picaridin - Picaridin is an insect and acarid repellent in the piperidine chemical family. Piperidines are structural components of piperine, the plant extract from the genus Piper that is also known as pepper. The chemical name is 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-ethylpropylester. Picaridin is an odorless synthetic safe mosquito repellent ingredient that has been proven as effective as DEET in studies against mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and chiggers. It is also known as KBR 3023 or Bayrepel.

Most users unaware of health hazards related to mosquito repellants: StudyJul 18, 2013, 03.36 AM IST

In the fight against mosquitoes, we may be harming ourselves as much as the dreaded drone, a new study by the National Institute of Epidemiology (NIE) here suggests. Researchers from the institute affiliated to the Indian Council of Medical Research found that 73% villagers in Tiruvallur use mosquito coils - and keep their windows closed while using them, adding to the health hazards of breathing chemicals.

The findings were published in the academically acclaimed International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health. The researchers showed that most users were unaware of the respiratory and other diseases that exposure to the chemicals could cause, and recommended regulation of sale of insect repellents. Other studies have shown that coil use is as much as 42% in Chennai. Mosquito nets remain the safest option to keep the buzzing menace away, but less than 5% opt for them.

"Urban areas like Chennai are no different. Other studies have shown that up to 42% of people in Chennai use mosquito coils and 28% use liquid vaporisers. Less than 5% use safer and cheaper alternatives like mosquito nets," said Chitra A Grace, one of the researchers.

At least 60% of those surveyed said they closed doors and windows while burning the coil. Epidemiologists say smoke from mosquito coil has as much particulate matter as the smoke from 100 cigarettes, depending on the materials used for manufacturing coil. When a mosquito coil burns, the insecticide vaporises with smoke and immobilises mosquitoes. "Plant-derived pyrethrins (organic compounds with insecticidal properties) are not toxic to humans, but we don't know the effects of burning the rest of the material that comprises 99% of the coil. We have to study that," said Prabhdeep Kaur, an NIE scientist.

Researchers found in most cases the safety information from the manufacturer did not reach consumers as 70% purchased coils without the packaging and instruction manuals. More than half said they did not wash their hands after handling pesticides, while 19.6% did not cover food when the coil was burning.

NIE researchers recommended regulation of the non-agricultural pesticide market, "especially as regards labeling and packaging methods and the responsibility at the point of sale".

The knowledge wasn't better with other products. Nearly 56% of those who used moth balls said they did not know they were harmful. "Moth balls contain naphthalene, a probable carcinogenic, which is volatile at room temperature," said Grace.

WHY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOME

24 INCREDIBLE FACTS WHY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOME
admin@healthtipsportal.com | November 17, 2015

Hydrogen peroxide is an inorganic chemical compound composed of 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms. It is a strong oxidative agent which enables its main use as disinfectant. Hydrogen peroxide solution is a very powerful chemical for killing all kinds of germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Here are some of the most common practical applications of hydrogen peroxide.



1. Wound Disinfection
Hydrogen peroxide is often used in medicine to disinfect open wounds on the skin, such as cuts and lacerations before stitching and dressing. For this purpose, a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide is prepared. An interesting thing about this antiseptic is the ability to create foam in contact with the enzyme called catalase. Catalase is released from damaged cells, especially blood cells. Reappearing of foam on almost healed wounds when treated with hydrogen peroxide can be a sign of bacterial infection of the wound.

2. Making a Bath
Using hydrogen peroxide, you can make a detoxifying bath in order to soak your body and remove harmful toxins from your skin and body. Add about 1 liter of 3% hydrogen peroxide to your bath with warm water and spend at least half an hour in the bathtub.

3. Curing Fungi on Your Feet
Fungal infections often affect moist regions such as tight spaces between toes and feet in general. The signs can be skin peeling and unusually bad odor of the feet. Dissolve hydrogen peroxide in water in 50:50 ratio and submerse your feet every evening before bed. It is important to keep your feet dry, in order to prevent reoccurrence of the fungal infection.

4. Ear Wax Removal
Ear wax is also called cerumen and over time it can accumulate in external auditory canal and clot the passage of sound to the tympanic membrane. In this case, 3% hydrogen solution is sometimes enough to dissolve the clot, but in severe cases, water jet propulsion device is used to get the clot out of the ear canal. After applying a few drops of hydrogen peroxide solution into the ear canal, you will feel crackles in your ear which are caused by dissolving of cerumen.

Unconventionally, people use hydrogen peroxide for other purposes, such as teeth whitening, enema, contact lenses cleansing, and hair lightening.

PERSONAL CARE

5. Mouthwash
A lot of people do not know that hydrogen peroxide can make a very effective and inexpensive mouthwash. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes every day, then spit it out. The result is that you will not have canker sores and your teeth will be whiter. You should utilize 3% H2O2 – add a dash of liquid chlorophyll for flavoring if desired.

6. Toothpaste
In order to make paste you should use baking soda and 3% H2O2.

7. Toothbrush
Another way is to dig your brush in3% H2O2 and then brush. Soak your toothbrush in Hydrogen peroxide to keep them free of germs.

8. Tooth Ache
Hydrogen peroxide is not a pain killer; notwithstanding, it is powerful at treating the pathogen that is creating the infection because it is anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal agent. This example is from my own personal experience: My dentist wanted to give me a root canal sometime prior as one tooth was inflamed and, according to her opinion it would die. I felt some distress yet I told her that I would give it opportunity to heal. I washed with hydrogen peroxide (a few times each day) as well as coconut oil (once per day). The discomfort went away and I have had no further issues with the tooth.

If you have an unpleasant toothache and cannot get to a dentist immediately, put a capful of 3% Hydrogen peroxide into your mouth and hold it for 10 minutes a few times each day. The pain will diminish greatly.

9. Tooth whitening
I have been using 3% hydrogen peroxide, and after some time my teeth have become whitened. Do not pay for professional whitening just use 3% hydrogen peroxide.

10. Douche
Add 2 cupfuls of 3% Hydrogen peroxide in warm distilled water once to twice a week to remove even chronic yeast infections.

11. Colonic or enema
For a colonic, add 1 cup (8 ozs.) 3% H202 to 5 gallons warm water. For enema, add 1 tablespoon of 3% H202 to a quart of warm distilled water.

12. Hair lightening
Peroxide is a bleaching agent and it is utilized for lightened hair. You should dilute 3% Hydrogen peroxide with water (50/50) and then spray the solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will have natural highlights if your hair is light brown or dirty blonde. It is not a drastic change because it lightens gradually.

13. Contact lenses
Hydrogen peroxide is utilized as disinfectant in CIBA Vision’s Clear Care no rub contact lens cleaning solution, because of its capacity to break down the proteins that build up on the lense from the eye’s immune response, that is resulting in increased comfort for those sensitive eyes.

SANITIZING / DISINFECTANT / CLEANING

14. In the dishwasher
If you want to disinfect your dishwasher, add 2 oz of 3% Hydrogen peroxide to your regular washing formula.

15. Kitchen/ Household surfaces
Clean your counters and table topics with hydrogen peroxide to destroy germs and leave a fresh smell. You just have to put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters. Fill a shower bottle with a 50/50 blend of 3% Hydrogen peroxide and water and keep it in each bathroom to clean without destroying your septic system like blench or most different disinfectants will. After you have rinsed off your wooden cutting board, pour or spray hydrogen peroxide (and afterward vinegar) on it to kill salmonella and other microbes.

Keep a spray bottle of 3% (straight) to clean the inside of the fridge and kids’ school lunch boxes. You can likewise utilize hydrogen peroxide to clean glass and mirrors with no smearing. Use it in the bathroom to disinfect the counters, toilets, floors, and so on.

Directions:
It is best to utilize two spray bottles instead of blending the solutions together. Put straight vinegar in one and straight Hydrogen peroxide in the other spray bottle. When you need to clean a surface (cutting board, counters, sink, confines, toys, toilets, floors, and so forth.) you should spray one mixture on the surface, then the other. When the ingredients are mixed, for a short time the chemical action of the two will make an effective sanitizer. You can rinse off the surface subsequently. This applies for kitchen surfaces and also vegetable and food decontamination.

16. Humidifiers/Steamers
To clear the air, use 1 pint 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 gallon of water in a humidifier or steamer.

17. Washing/laundry
You can likewise add a cup of hydrogen peroxide rather than bleach to a load of whites in your clothing to whiten them. In the event that there is blood on clothing, pour straightforwardly on the dirty spot. Leave it to stay for a minute, then rub it and wash with cool water. Rehash if it is necessary.
Peroxide is an excellent alternate solution to keep those garments white. Likewise, when chlorinating clothes, they tend to wear out faster – peroxide will not do that.

18. Laundry / Stain Removing
3% Hydrogen peroxide is a compelling stain uproot in the event that it is utilized decently not long after a spill – despite the fact that blood stains as old as 2 days have been effectively lifted with Hydrogen Peroxide. In the event that a little peroxide is poured onto the stain it will bubble up in the area of the blood, because of a reaction with catalase. After a couple of minutes the excess liquid will be wiped up with a fabric or paper towel and the stain will be gone.

3% H2O2 must be applied to clothing before blood stains can be unintentionally “set” with warm water. Cold water and cleanser are then used to remove the peroxide treated blood.
Note: Hydrogen peroxide will bleach or discolor many fabrics.

FOOD PREPARATION

19. Food preparation/decontamination
A mixture of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide make cheap, viable and non-poisonous disinfectant agent and is said to be more viable at destroying pathogens than bleach. Because it is non-toxic, you can utilize it to cleanse cooking and food preparation areas. In tests that were made at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, matching Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide mists, executes basically all Salmonella, Shigella, or E. coli microbes on intensely contaminated food and surfaces.

20. Vegetable soak
Use as a vegetable wash or soak to destroy microorganisms and neutralize chemicals. You should add 1/4 container 3% H2O2 to a full sink of cold water. Soak light skinned (light lettuce) 20 minutes, thicker skinned (like cucumbers) 30 minutes. Dry, dry and refrigerate. It prolongs freshness.
In the event that time is an issue, you can spray vegetables (and fruits) with a solution of 3%. Leave it to stay for a couple of minutes, rinse and dry.

21. Meat sanitizing
You can likewise utilize it to rinse off your meat before cooking.

22. Leftover tossed salad
In order to keep the leftover salads, spray with a solution of 1/2 cup water and 1 Tbsp. 5%. Drain, cover and refrigerate.

23. Marinade
Put meat, fish or poultry in a casserole (you should not utilize aluminum pans). Cover with a dilute solution of an equal part of water and 3% H202. Put it covered in fridge for 1/2 hour. Rinse and cook.

24. Sprouting seeds
Add 1 ounce 3% Hydrogen peroxide to 1 pint of water and douse the seeds overnight. Then you should add the same measure of hydrogen peroxide every time you rinse the seeds.

Smoothie That Strengthen Tendons & Knee Ligaments

Pineapple, Cinnamon & Oats – Simple Smoothie That Strengthen Tendons & Knee Ligaments

By Phyllis Bentley
Posted Friday, January 29, 2016 at 09:19am EST

What Is Tendons & Ligaments?

Tendons are thick cords that join your muscles to your bones. These tough yet flexible bands of fibrous tissue attach the skeletal muscles to the bones they move. Essentially, tendons enable you to move; think of them as intermediaries between muscles and bones.

Though similar to tendons, ligaments connect bone to bone and help to stabilize joints they surround. They are composed mostly of long, stringy collagen fibers that create bands of tough, fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments are slightly elastic, so they can be stretched and gradually lengthen, increasing flexibility.

Your body’s structure is made up of many joints, the knees carry the most important function. You’re able to keep a straight posture, jump, walk, stand, and run, all because of your knees. As time goes by, they suffer many injuries, wounds and hits and become damaged and loose. Their tendons and ligaments become less flexible and natural lubrication is lost.

Six dangerous prescription drugs

Six dangerous prescription drugs you should think twice before taking

Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/039958_prescription_drugs_side_effects_dangers.html#ixzz3yo50mw8S

(NaturalNews) Just because your doctor prescribes it does not necessarily mean it is safe for you to take. Many popular prescription drugs, it turns out, come with the potential for serious side effects, including everything from short-term nausea and headaches to chronic inflammatory myopathy and heart disease -- or worse.

But this important information is often shrouded from public view, which intentionally perpetuates the myth that the benefits of FDA-approved drugs far outweigh any risks. So to give you a more solid understanding of the subject, here are six classes of prescription drugs you should definitely think twice about taking due to their inherent dangers:

1) Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Millions of Americans take PPIs to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition marked by food and acid in the stomach leaking back into the esophagus and causing damage. But PPIs like Nexium (exomeprazole) and Prevacid (lansoprazole) have been shown to both block nutrient absorption and inhibit the production of necessary stomach acid, which can cause a host of other health problems. (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued at least a dozen warnings about the dangers of PPIs, which include an increased risk of bacterial diarrhea, magnesium deficiency, and bone fractures (http://www.fda.gov). Long-term consumption of PPIs has also been linked to increased risk of pneumonia and unhealthy weight gain.
(http://www.naturalnews.com/036336_PPIs_acid_reflux_side_effects.html)

2) Statins. The top-selling class of drugs for several years in a row, statins are hailed by the medical system as a type of miracle cure for high cholesterol and heart disease. But popular statin drugs like Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) and Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) have been shown to greatly increase users' risk of diabetes, liver disease, brain damage, muscle atrophy, and even early death. (http://www.drfranklipman.com)

The side effects of statins are so severe, in fact, that the FDA recently expanded its official warnings about their use (http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm293330.htm). Beyond this, more than a dozen studies have shown that taking statins for primary prevention does little, if anything, to prevent heart attack or stroke, which means the drug class is medically useless for the millions of otherwise healthy people who are prescribed it. (http://www.minnpost.com)

3) Antibiotics. The leading cause of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs," antibiotics are another class of drugs that can cause long-term health problems without providing much, if any, benefit. Insanely overprescribed for conditions that often do not even respond to them, antibiotics and their long-term abuse by the medical system has made many infections more virulent and untreatable.

According to Shane Ellison, M.S., from The People's Chemist, the three most dangerous antibiotics currently being prescribed are Levaquin (levofloxacin), Vancocin (vancomycin hydrochloride), and Bactrim (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole). Ellison also lists quinolones, the most commonly prescribed class of antibiotics, as dangerous as well, noting that antibiotics like Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Avelox (moxifloxacin HCL), and Floxin (ofloxacin) can cause severe and permanent disability. (http://thepeopleschemist.com)

4) Antipsychotics. One of the deadliest drug classes, antipsychotics are commonly prescribed for conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe major depression, as well as for many "off-label" conditions such as mild mood disorder and everyday anxiety. But popular antipsychotic drugs like Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate), Abilify (aripiprazole), Risperdal (risperidone), and Zyprexa (olanzapine) have been shown to increase blood sugar levels, elevate lipid and cholesterol levels, and promote weight gain.

But even more concerning is the long-term neurological and brain damage that can result from taking antipsychotics, not to mention the greatly elevated risk of metabolic syndrome, which can include major health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/11/121127190016.htm). Antipsychotics are so dangerous that a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) declared them to be more deadly than terrorism. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

5) Opioid pain relievers. Pharmaceutical drugs have officially been declared a leading cause of death in America today, and leading the way are opioid-based painkillers like Vicodin (hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen), OxyContin (oxycodone HCI), Percocet (oxycodone and acetaminophen), codeine, and morphine.

According to a study out of Brandeis University in Massachusetts, prescription painkillers are now responsible for causing more fatal overdoses than both heroin and cocaine combined. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has actually declared an epidemic in response to this elevated number of prescription painkiller deaths. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

6) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Antidepressants like Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), and Lexapro (escitalopram) have been around for years, but their dangers typically receive far less attention than they deserve. Side effects like suicidal tendencies, sexual dysfunction, gastrointestinal bleeding, and heart disease are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the many side effects of SSRIs.

In some cases, SSRIs can actually make depression symptoms worse, leading some individuals to become violent. Be sure to watch the Health Ranger's music video S.S.R.Lies for a creative glimpse at the dangers of SSRIs: http://www.naturalnews.com

Scientific Use of Squats-How to Energize and Activate the Brain

Scientific Use of Squats: Super Brain Yoga and the Vedas

The movement begins from a standing position. Weights are often used, either in the hand or as a bar braced across the trapezius muscle or rear deltoid muscle in the upper back.

What is a Squat?

In strength training and fitness, the squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and buttocks, quadriceps (vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and rectus femoris), hamstrings, as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons throughout the lower body.

Squats are considered a vital exercise for increasing the strength and size of the legs and buttocks, as well as developing core strength. 

Isometrically, the lower back, the upper back, the abdominals, the trunk muscles, the costal muscles, and the shoulders and arms are all essential to the exercise and thus are trained when squatting with the proper form.

The squat is one of the three lifts in the strength sport of powerlifting, together with deadlifts and bench press.

And the following topic of discussion will be discussed as per the author (Dr. Paul Nogier MD, a neurologist, who has spent 20 years from 1950 to about 1970 doing medical research.) research on the following concept of Super Brain Yoga.

Author indeed rediscovered that the ears correspond to the whole body. The ear corresponds to an inverted fetus curled in the womb. The ear lobe corresponds to the head [ref: Nogier, Dr. Paul M. F., Handbook to Auriculotherapy, (France, 1981)].

The correspondence of the ear to the whole body was already recognized by the ancient Chinese acupuncturists and also to the great rishis (teachers) in India, who developed a technique to increase people’s intelligence. Now we know it worked because it was based on the principle of ear acupuncture.



Well there is a tradition in Vedantist that, when we visit any temple, most of them hold their ears through their hands in a cross section manner. In the sense, a left hand been positioned to the right ear and the right hand to the left ear and squat 9/11/21 times or even more as a part of offering their namaskara in front of the deity. 

Now for most of them who see that as a part of mediocrity, well we have an explanation scientifically as per the author’s research on it.

The Energy Body

Clairvoyants, with the use of their psychic faculties, have observed that the physical body is surrounded and interpenetrated by a luminous energy body, which resembles the visible physical body.

Clairvoyants call this the etheric double or etheric body. The “energy body” as they called it was first photographed by Russian scientists Semyon Davidovich Kirlian and his wife in 1939. With the aid of Kirlian photography, they observed, studied and photographed small bioplasmic articles* like the “light” or bioplasmic energy of the fingers, leaves, etc.

It is through this energy body that prana or vital life energy is absorbed and distributed throughout the whole physical body [ref: Master Choa Kok Sui, Miracles Through Pranic Healing, (Phil, 1987), 5]

Prana or ki is the life energy which nourishes the whole physical body. The visible physical body is molded after the energy body. They are so closely related that what affects one affects the other.

Without life energy, the body will die. If the energy body is depleted or congested, the physical body gets sick. When the physical body is healed, the corresponding energy body also gets healed.

This may manifest gradually or may happen almost instantaneously if there are no interfering factors. The energy body, through energy centers (also known as chakras) , controls and is responsible for the proper functioning of the whole physical body including its different organs and parts.

Major energy centers are actually major acupuncture points. Energy centers are very important parts of the energy body.



Based on the research of Dr. Joie P. Jones, Dept. of Radiological Sciences, University of California in Irvine, California: The acupuncture points are made up of 2 parts: an upper part and a lower part.

These 2 parts are constantly moving in opposite directions. When the upper part is moving clockwise, the lower part is moving counter clockwise. This motion alternates from clockwise to counterclockwise.

Dr. Jones calls this the “twisting motion” of the acupuncture point. The major acupuncture points in the Indian tradition are called chakras, which means whirling energy centers.

The major energy centers or chakras are just like power stations that supply life energy to major and vital organs of the visible physical body. They are responsible for the proper functioning of the whole physical body as well as its different parts and organs.

A lot of ailments are caused partially by the malfunctioning of the energy centers. Some energy centers are sites or centers for psychic faculties. When activation of certain energy centers occurs, they can even result in the development of certain psychic faculties.

The energy centers may be understood more easily as energy transformers. When energies from the lower energy centers move upward into the higher energy centers, they are transformed into other forms of energies of a much higher frequency. When higher forms of energies from the upper energy centers move down into the lower energy centers, they are transformed into other forms of energies with a much lower frequency.

How to Energize and Activate the Brain

The physical body is a very complicated subtle electronic equipment. When a proper energy wiring connection is made, it produces the right results. When the connection is wrong, expected results are not achieved.

The right ear lobe corresponds to the left brain. The left ear lobe corresponds to the right brain.

When the right ear lobe is gently squeezed with the left thumb and left index finger with the thumb outside, it produces the necessary energy connection. This connection causes the left brain and pituitary gland to become energized and activated.

Similarly, when the left ear lobe is gently squeezed with the right thumb and right index finger with the thumb outside, it produces the necessary energy connection, which causes the right brain and pineal gland to become energized and activated.

For energizing and activating the Left Brain and the Right Brain, the left arm must be inside, while the right arm must be outside.



The correct arm position is important for energizing and activating the brain.

Superbrain Yoga

Superbrain Yoga transforms or internally alchemizes the energies from the lower energy centers into higher subtler energies. These energies are then utilized by the upper energy centers. When those centers are highly energized, they energize the brain so it can function with greater efficiency and effectivity.

Superbrain Yoga not only energizes and activates the brain, but also assists in balancing the energies of the heart, throat, ajna, forehead and crown energy centers. When energies from the basic energy center and sex energy center move up to the heart energy center, they are transformed into inner peace.

When the energies go up to the throat energy center and the ajna energy center, they are transformed into greater intelligence and creativity. When they go up to the forehead energy center and crown energy center, they are transformed into a higher degree of spirituality. The lower energies are transformed into subtle energy, which is utilized by the brain to enhance its proper functioning.
