When I met Rosanne Lindsay, B.C.N.D. on Facebook, a writer, mother, health freedom activist and author of the book, “The Nature of Healing: Heal the Body and Naturopathic Doctor, certified by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board. She is also a graduate of Trinity School of Natural Health in Naturopathic Medicine,  holds an M.A. in Environmental Health Science,  and is an advocate. . . for natural health and healing, self-empowerment,  and the freedom to choose one’s own foods.  She came to healing through her own journey of reversing profound hypothyroidism naturally using the tools of Nature from which she discovered her gifts as a healer. and so can you. If you have thyroid disease or any disease, you have come out of alignment and given up your power.

In today’s ‘age of technology,’ the costs of disease and disease rates have been escalating in all age groups with no end in sight. Is it possible we have been focusing on treatments and searching for cures without understanding the cause of disease or real nature of healing?

Like art, healing is a work in progress as unique as the healer. As art imitates life, healing imitates nature. Just as the planet is not set up to fail, neither are we.  True health reflects a connection to our environment to find balance. As such, health is our birthright and our natural state. The Nature of Healing is really a journey without a destination. Your health today reflects every choice you make along the way, from the foods you choose to put into your body, to the beliefs you choose to keep in your mind.

Your answers are not found outside yourself. They come to you in the form of signs from your body, mind and spirit. Since our choices ultimately leads us toward health or disease, your health becomes your responsibility. The true nature of healing recognizes our nature is Nature.  And if given the right tools, the body has the innate capacity to heal itself.

Today, the silent epidemic of thyroid disease is not only a universal phenomenon but    also a reflection of how people have lost their collective voice. Silence and powerlessness go hand in hand.  When we suppress our ability to speak our truth,  we manifest it in the physical. Women are ten times more likely than men to be diagnosed with thyroid disease, of which 80 percent is autoimmune.

Yet, most of us have no idea about the thyroid, its needs, or how we got here.

What is happening?

Autoimmunity exists when the body decides healthy cells are foreign invaders and   mounts an attack against itself. In this unfortunate case of “friendly fire,” our bodies become reluctant victims of our environment and our choices–from the foods we eat         to the thoughts we think. The attack of Self defines the Age of Victimhood. We are the cause of our disease. Victimhood is not only a state of dependency but also a wake-up    call.

This book: Free Your Voice Heal Your Thyroid connects the dots between science and   intuition to answer the question of how we find full healing. There is no reason to accept the status quo of “living with thyroid disease” when you can heal yourself to by coming into balance.

Because balance is found in Nature, a return to Nature for real food is as important as a return to the heart for speaking truth.  The power to heal  is a choice  to be responsible to yourself. In autoimmune disease,  the moment you stop attacking yourself is the moment antibodies cease to exist. When you focus attention to healing versus disease you begin to replenish your reserves. If you don’t invest in yourself, who will?

If you don’t love & respect yourself, why should anyone else? As soon as you decide to love yourself, you claim your inheritance as a healer. If I was able to reverse thyroid disease naturally, so can you.

The Outer Limits of Inner Truth discovered a great article by Ms. Lindsay called “The Age Of Victimhood: A Paradigm On Its Way Out.”  They  had  the  pleasure  of  discussing  the article with her. Here is a quick excerpt below:

“For us to live in balance, we must embody balance. We must merge our dual aspects, shadow and light, have and have-not, feminine and masculine and connect as individuals, first. As creators, we fuel ourselves from power within, connected to a universal power source. We are individual expressions of a greater Source, all connected.

Therefore, if we can write reality, we can also right reality. We only need to change          the game. In a dual reality, we can choose different labels to become the Masters. That      is how the holographic program functions.”

“Everyone is a victim at some point in their life, and there is no doubt that terrible      things may have happened to you that were unfair. But seeing yourself as a victim is    being focused on the past. Instead, look forward to who you can be today, master of       your own destiny.” – Alex Blackwell, author.

Breast Cancer

This is the classic disease that is known to be caused by estrogen stimulation. In general, estradiol causes cells to proliferate and progesterone causes cells to differentiate and grow up. Estradiol causes the femaleness in women. It causes the breasts to grow and the hips to round out. However, too much estradiol can cause an increased incidence of breast cancer. Women who have menarche early and have menopause later are at a greater risk of breast cancer. Numerous studies show that some chemicals pretend to be estrogen and can stimulate breast cancer cells in the test tube to grow.

Download the paper from Breast Cancer Fund here that talks about Environmental Estrogens that cause Breast Cancer. Recently, there have been law suits that have been filed against a major pharmaceutical manufacturer asserting that birth control pills are causing an increased incidence of breast cancer. Millions of dollars have been awarded     to the plaintiffs. Web search law suit and hormone replacement.

In the 1995 Nurses� Health Study, a study was done on the increased risk of breast  cancer in women  taking various synthetic hormones.  It was found that women taking synthetic estrogen alone had a 36% increased risk;  those that are on synthetic estrogen plus progestin had a 50% increase; those on progestins alone had a 240% increased risk   of acquiring breast cancer!

Women who, at the time of the study, had been taking estrogen and progestin for 5-10 years had a 45% increased risk. This study is 1 of the largest done to date. Breast cancer    is more common in areas where iodine consumption is lowest. The highest incidence of breast cancer in the U.S. is in the “Goiter Belt,” an area inland in the region of the Great Lakes.

The land in the region has iodine-poor soil and there is no native, iodine-rich seafood to consume. In contrast, Japanese women consume 25 times more iodine than American women and their risk of breast cancer is reduced.

Think how often this statistic is attributed to soy consumption or lack of red meat.   Perhaps it has nothing to do with soy or fat, but rather with iodine?

How much iodine is the “right” amount to keep breasts and thyroid glands healthy?       This is a hotly debated topic.  It appears that up to 1 milligram a day is considered safe, even though this is more than 6 times the recommended daily allowance.  Doctors who  are proponents of iodine therapy advocate up to 50 milligrams per day.  This is more      than 333 times the recommended daily allowance!

The theory behind this level of supplementation is to replenish the gland and leave extra  to be taken up by other cells in the body.  Advocates of this regimen suggest that women   be tested to see if they need higher dose iodine. . . by challenging them with a 50 mg dose  and then collecting their urine for 24 hours. If their body has sufficient iodine, 90 percent of the dose should be excreted.  Iodine appears to be the great energizer for healthy cells.

If they are holding on to more than 10 percent, they are labeled as iodine-deficient and advised to go on a high-dose supplementation protocol for months followed by lifelong lower-dose daily dose.

The Goiter Belt

In the early 1900s, much of the northern continental United States. . . .was known as            the “Goiter Belt.”  Many people living in this so-called Goiter Belt, which encompassed       a region from the Rockies to the Great Lakes Basin to western New York, also developed goiters (swollen thyroid glands) because the soil lacked iodine.

Before the 1920s, iodine deficiency was common in the Great Lakes, Appalachian, and Northwestern U.S. regions and in most of Canada. Treatment of iodine deficiency by the introduction of iodized salt  has virtually eliminated iodine deficiency  and the so-called “goiter belt” in these areas. However, many other parts of the world do not have enough iodine available through their diet  and  iodine deficiency  continues to be an important public health problem globally.  Approximately 40% of the world’s population  remains      at risk for iodine deficiency and iodized salt is energy!!!

The human body does not make iodine, which is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. If adequate iodine is not present, the thyroid gland goes into overdrive and becomes swollen, often leading to hypothyroidism.

Today, most people in the United States and other industrialized nations consume iodized table salt, which has dramatically lowered rates of iodine deficiency in these countries. However, about 40% of the world’s population remains at risk for iodine

Learn more about thyroid health.

Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body    does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Iodine is found in various  foods (see Table 1).  If you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid  hormone.

Thus, iodine deficiency can lead to the enlargement of the thyroid (goiter – see Goiter brochure), hypothyroidism (see Hypothyroidism brochure) and to intellectual disabilities in infants and children whose mothers were iodine deficient during pregnancy.

How does a gymnast balance on a balance beam?

Think of your center of balance and keep it in the arc of your foot while staying focused    to the very end of the beam 🙂

Balanced diet or balance diet?

In fact, balance is a noun and balanced is an adjective. The correct English is “balanced diet.” A balanced diet consists of a healthy combination of foods…. in all the food groups. These include vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, protein and oils. Vegetables:  Get plenty of these; preferably unsalted and not fried. Try to varythe types of vegetables you eat. Fruits: Like vegetables, these contain healthy vitamins and antioxidants.They also have fructose, so don’t overdo it.    http://www.algarcia.org/AnimationPhysics/BalanceTutorial.pdf

Get plenty of these.  Whole grain products such as whole wheat bread,  brown rice and oatmeal are the healthy types.  Dairy:   The calcium in milk  is also an essential part of a balanced diet.  Dairy products  including  cheese  and  yogurt  count  towards  your dairy needs.  Proteins: This group includes meat (preferably lean), beans, fish, nuts and seeds.  Try to eat a combination of each of these foods throughout the week.  Oils: Oils also play an important role because they allow us to consume unsaturated (healthy) fat. There are certain foods that count towards your healthy fat such as almonds, salmon, sardines and avocados. Olive oil is very healthy.

What is the natural biophysics?

As much as we distinguish in allopathic medicine and natural medicine. 

I would also like to define it in the field of biophysics, a field little explored in reality,     there is not only the common cell biophysics, but also the “natural biophysics” which         is the search for the intrinsic logic of nature and mechanisms of it specifically in the      field of health.

This is opening up new horizons for developing treatment of degenerative and chronic diseases, which to date have no solution except pharmaceutical palliatives that lead to  long term intoxication of the patient. Natural biophysics always tries to explain through pure logic since nature always is.  An inconsistency or anomaly is usually the result of previous erroneous axioms, because nature uses the same building blocks and with the same formula in all its natural process.

The basic principles should always be simple and science is increasingly difficult getting lost in details without knowing irrefutably the bases. There are many doctorates in physics but none can explain even the most basic things like why gravity or a magnet works. There are many professors and doctorates in medicine but no one knows. . . why a body gets sick with certain pathogens and other not, in the official dictionary of diseases, the renowned Merck Manual®, most chronical diseases are of “unknown origin.”

We must seriously ask ourselves what kind of mainstream medicine is this…?

In order to advance we have to do the right question.

The key question therefore is: What is the lowest common denominator of all diseases?
The denominator of all disease is the lack of energy that creates imbalance in the body.

(I = EQ – E)

It’s a very simple equation where I represents the state of disease, EQ balance and E energy. If treatment is able to get more E the result is equivalent to EQ balance and therefore health.

This lack of energy is not only meant at the biochemical level but also at biophysical and psychological level. A trauma for example, draw a lot of energy from the body regardless of whether it was a physical or a psychological trauma, such as the death of a family member.

The body needs to be balanced to be healthy something already discovered by Claude Bernard (1813-1878) who had the idea that the body’s healing capacity depends on the internal environment. https://andreaskalcker.com/en/diseases/

Science explains complex life, sometimes so complex that nobody realizes incongruities. They are the same inconsistencies that can give us a clue to the truth, and this truth will teach that the earth is not flat ( perhaps…:).

Science should be focused in the future  on  if their bases are actually valid and correct  since a laureate prize does not mean precisely that a theory is absolutely true, and if you  do not believe can find documentation on the Nobel António Egas Prize Moniz  “for his discovery of the therapeutic value of lobotomy in certain psychoses.”

Let’s concentrate on the basics.

Our body and our cells obtain energy through a combustion process. This combustion       or oxidation provides us with energy. We burn fats, carbohydrates and proteins, but we  are also capable of burning toxins. All of us are familiar with the expression “I am going   to burn some toxins” when somebody goes for an exercise and provides oxygen & more oxygen to the  fire.

There is a simple way to prove this: we can see this process  when we have a barbecue. When we blow the coal, temperature increases and so does combustion. We can see it in combustion engines. When we want more efficiency consuming the same amount of fuel, we obtain that power through a turbo compressor,  which is no more than a fan blowing extra oxygen to the combustion engine. This way, we obtain much more potency with the same amount of fuel.

We use oxygen constantly from the moment we are born, therefore, oxygen can be much more crucial than what we currently think.  At medical school, we have been told that free radicals are harmful to the body according to Denham Harman’s theory. However, we also don’t need a lot of brains to realize that people who regularly practice sport consume more oxygen but somehow are also healthier, which is the opposite of what the “oxidative stress” theory claims.

Actually, this theory was debunked by Prof. Dr. Michael Ristow *, who won the German research award for this work on oxidative stress research. Mitohormesis demonstrates an increase in mitochondrial activity when there is low potency oxidative stress.

However, nobody has rewritten the books to rectify the false theory of free radicals…

Why?  Chlorine dioxide in all its forms provides oxygen to the interstitial tissue and           to all the body fluids, activating the mitochondria, which in turn generate more energy.   This energy allows the body to recover and heal from most diseases. Oxygen is essential and the free radical concept, as it has been promoted in the past, is erroneous.

The human body is not a Petri dish in a lab.

Everything interacts with everything else.

A Pioneer in the Study of Carbohydrate Metabolism.

Where does the chemical energy to produce ATP come from?

The food you eat. It contains calories, right? Calories are simply units of energy. http://education.med.nyu.edu/courses/molecular/carbohydrates06/carbohydrates.pdf

I will try to simplify so as not to go into a lengthy biochemistry lesson.  Essentially, carbohydrates and lipids are broken down during the metabolic pathways to produce    ATP via such processes as anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (krebs cycle), and the electron transport chain.  Think of these processes  as a Willy Wonka    factory machine.

You drop in a glucose molecule (with lipids and carbohydrates and they are essentially broken down to before they hit the first steps in ATP production) and at the end of the mechanical “assembly line,” you will have ATP molecules.

Why is ATP called the energy currency of the cell?

Because it is responsible for the transfer of energy from one set of biochemical reactions   to another. Gtp and Utp are sometimes also used.  Atp delivers energy wherever energy     is needed in the Cell. Atp (Adenosine tri-phosphate) is a molecule that can store energy.

The bond between terminal phosphate: the  second phosphate is a high-energy bond.

When it is broken  (Atp is turned into Adp and Pi)  this energy is released and can be harnessed by the Cell.  During the breakdown of sugars in the body, the energy from        the sugars are stored in Atp molecules which can be used later.

How does ATP supply energy to the cell?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate), also contains three phosphate groups linked through phosphoanhydride bonds. To spell this out, a phosphate group is a phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms.

An phosphoanhydride is a bond in which one oxygen is shared by two phosphorus atoms of different phosphates, acting as a link between them.  So the anhydride looks like this: P-O-P, with three additional oxygens bound to each phosphorus.

Now the phosphoanydride bond is very high in potential energy. Phosphate groups have    a large negative charge and like charges repel, so the phosphates do not like being next to each other. However, the anhydride bond locks them together.

Naturally, though, this takes work and so you have to put in some energy in order to form this bond. Once the bond is broken though, the phosphates quite happily break apart from one another, releasing that energy which was put in order to keep them together. Imagine a spring: in order to compress it with your hands it takes energy. However, once you allow the spring to return to its preferred state, it will exert a force on your hands, pushing them apart. It’s a similar idea with ATP.

In addition, the energy from ATP is often funneled down to many subsequent reactions   by transfer of phosphates (a process called phosphorylation). With this, initial energy is released from the removal of a phosphate from ATP.

However, some of this energy is devopted to attaching the free phosphate to another molecule, reforming the phosphoanhydride somewhere else. While, this too is a high energy bond, it is also somewhat weaker than ATPs since some energy went towards producing.

This process of removing the phosphate and releasing energy followed by attaching the phosphate to another molecule utilizing some of that energy continues until there simply is not enough energy left to do any meaningful work. –>Camille Llamas 😉

Homeostasis is the tendency of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions       amid environmental change.  Reproduction is the process through which a species produces offspring.  Commensalism is the relationship  between  two organisms in        which one benefits and the other neither benefits nor is harmed. Metabolism refers           to the physical and chemical changes in an organism which release or use energy.

Claude Bernard, generally acclaimed as the greatest physiologist of all time, succeeded François Magendie as Professor of Medicine at the Collège de France. Bernard interned   in medicine and surgery before serving as laboratory assistant (préparateur) to Magendie in 1839. Three years later, he followed Magendie to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris.       For the next 35 years, Bernard discovered fundamental properties about physiology.

French physiologist, born July 12, 1813, Claude Bernard died on February 10, 1878.  https://evolutionnews.org/2017/09/in-a-new-book-scott-turner-explores-biologys-second-law/

Homeostasis is the key process with which Bernard is associated. He famously said,         “La fixite du milieu interior est la condition de la vie libre.”

Translated: “To have a free life, independent of the external environment, requires               a constant internal environment”.   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1921451/

  This is still the underlying principle of homeostasis today.

“Bernard was right; the pathogen is nothing; the terrain is everything.” —                               these are Louis Pasteur’s deathbed words!!!

Internal Environment and Homeostasis

The body is surrounded by the external environment that provides nutrients and oxygen that are necessary for life.  The external environment  receives waste materials from the body. The body has an internal environment which is maintained more or less constant   by certain biological mechanisms. The skin separates the internal environment from the external environment.

The internal environment is water-based in which the cells of the body exist. A fluid known as interstitial fluid or tissue fluid bathes the cells. Oxygen and nutrients from        the internal transport systems reach the cells through the interstitial fluid. As Waste products move through the interstitial fluid to transport systems which excrete them       out of the body.

The cell membrane surrounds the cell.  It acts as a barrier and regulates the substances entering and leaving the cell. The cell membrane is semi-permeable i.e. and allows certain types of molecules to pass through but blocks others.  Smaller molecules can pass through the cell membrane easily than larger molecules. Some molecules pass through more easily than others. Due to the selective nature of the cell membrane, the intracellular fluid has a different chemical composition than the interstitial fluid.

Homeostasis: The internal environment of the body is maintained more or less constant and within a narrow range of limits. This is called homeostasis.

Homeostasis literally means ‘unchanging’. However, it should be noted that the internal environment is not exactly unchanging. It is dynamic but is maintained within particular limits. Many diseases involve a disturbance of homeostasis.

There are many factors in the internal environment that are maintained within narrow limits. Some of these factors include:

Temperature
Water and electrolyte concentration
pH of body fluids
Blood glucose level
Blood pressure
Blood and tissue oxygen and carbon dioxide levels

There are control systems in the body which detect and respond to changes in the internal environment and maintain homeostasis. There are three parts in any control system:  The detector or sensor detects environmental stimuli and sends this information to the control centre.  The control centre receives and processes the information supplied by the sensor. It signals the effector to respond to the stimuli. The effector responds to the commands of the control centre and opposes or enhances the stimulus.

Homeostatic imbalance occurs when the body is unable to regulate a physiological  variable within the normal range.  If homeostasis is not maintained,  an abnormal          state results.  Which can detrimental to the well-being of the body or even be fatal.

Human Biofield

The human body emits low-level light, heat, and acoustical energy; has electrical and magnetic properties; and may also transduce energy that cannot be easily defined by physics and chemistry. All of these emissions are part of the human energy field, also called the biologic field, or biofield. However, no agreement has been reached in the scientific community on the definition of the biofield.

Various approaches have been submitted by this author (Rubik, 1993, 1997, 2002b)        and other authors [Popp (1996); Tiller (1993); Welch (1992); Welch and Smith (1990);  and Zhang (1995, 1996)]. Most research has focused on electromagnetic aspects of the biofield.

Biology has been preoccupied with its molecular revolution that focuses on structure-function relationships in biochemistry. This effort culminated in the Human Genome Project whereby teams of scientists from around the world have mapped all the genes       in human deoxyribonucleic acid.  Most of the scientific effort and funding remains in molecular biology.

By contrast, only a small number of scientists worldwide have worked to understand the energy fields of the human body. Moreover, measuring the biofield and understanding its role in life are more difficult than the study of more tangible phenomena, and the funding for the former has been extremely scarce.

Therefore scientific advances in biofield research have been few, and biofield science remains a frontier area ripe for exploration. If we try to pick out any thing by itself, we  find it hitched to every thing else in the universe” ~ John Muir, 1911.

The biofield is also elusive. We cannot isolate it or analyze it comprehensively.

As John Muir wrote, “if we try to pick out any thing by itself, we find it hitched to every thing else in the universe” (Muir, 1911). For a field, this connection is especially true, given that,  regardless of its source,  it travels outwards to infinity,  interacts with other fields by superposition, and interacts with matter along the way. Additionally, phenomena such as resonance can occur, involving an energetic coupling of, or oscillation within, matter.

The fields of the human body may also be influenced by the fields of nearby organisms,  the biosphere, and even the earth and cosmos, especially geo-cosmic rhythms.

From a theoretical perspective, we cannot calculate the human biofield from first principles because of its dynamic aspects and enormous complexity.

Nonetheless, we can measure certain aspects of the biofield and observe its footprints      via novel technologies. The human biofield may carry novel information of diagnostic     and predictive value for medicine.

Thus new technologic developments and methodologic improvements in measuring the biofield should be a central aim of health-related research. By measuring various aspects of the biofield, we may be able to recognize organ and tissue dysfunctions even in advance of diseases or symptoms and treat them appropriately so as to eradicate them.

We may also be able to use biofield measurements to predict whether the effect of a particular course of therapy will be effective or ineffective, depending on whether it improves or thwarts the biofield.

This possibility is especially true for the CAM therapies, which, in principal, often       evoke a shift in response to extremely small stimuli that harmoniously work with             the human body’s natural dynamics to restore balance.

Conventional science and also medicine have long used the electrocardiogram (ECG)      and the electroencephalogram (EEG) to assess physiologic function of heart and brain, respectively. The heart produces coherent contraction of numerous muscle cells, also resulting in vigorous electrical activity.

In fact, the heart makes the greatest contribution to the electromagnetic, as well as the acoustic, human biofield. The brain’s activity contributes to a lesser extent to the biofield because its field emission is weaker than that of the heart.  The ECG was first developed    in 1887 and records the electrical activity from different areas of the heart. The EEG was developed in 1875 and records electrical activity from the various brain regions by using multiple electrodes on the head.

In addition, corresponding magnetic field measurements of the heart & brain have been discovered,  which are the magnetocardiogram (MCG) and the magnetoencephalogram (MEG), respectively.

However, the magnetic fields of the body are very low level and typically require specialized equipment such as super-conducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) that are expensive to operate. Nonetheless, such magnetic field measurements of the body reveal more information than the electrical measurements, especially if also coupled with three-dimensional resolution, as in the case of MEG.

For the latter, localizing the activity of a region of the brain approximately the size of a    pea is possible. Additionally, some of the more recently developed medical scans, such      as functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, can also    be used as indirect indicators of electromagnetic activity.

Galvanic skin response (GSR) measures the electrical conductance between two electrodes placed on the skin. This value is a mainstream measure that is used in lie detectors to help determine veracity and in biofeedback technology to help promote relaxation.

The human body is a strong emitter of infrared radiation, on the order of 100 watts, and visualization of this emission is used in medical imaging. Thermography uses an infrared camera and are associated software system to visualize the pattern of infrared emission, which we cannot see directly but experience as heat.

This method can detect changes as small as 0.01° C in the human body. Thermography   can detect acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.  This method is documented by many research studies to show toxic accumulations,  tumors,  and other diseases, often much earlier than x-ray mammography or other imaging procedures, for example, in      the case of breast thermography (Amalu et al, 2006).

Typically, thermography is used to locate hot spots and left-right imbalances  correspond to problem areas.  However,  the actual temperature and emissions pertaining to infrared portion of the human biofield have been considered much less important thus far to some clinicians and investigators.

Thermography is also used before and after therapy to visualize its influence, as for example in the case of infrared photonic treatment to look for improvements in the symmetry of the emission patterns after treatment. Thermography is now an accepted diagnostic procedure in medicine.

In summary, various strategies for measuring the human biofield include measurements of biophoton emission, as well as induced light emission; measurements on practitioners performing biofield therapy and on patients receiving biofield therapy; and bioassays for biofield therapy, as mentioned previously. Additionally, measurements of the electric or magnetic fields (or both) directly from the human body, especially from the acupuncture points, have also been developed.

Besides the veritable energies of the biofield discussed thus far, the human biofield        may also consist of other putative energies as well, more subtle than the energy fields presently known in physics. In relation to this possibility. . . is a less common form of therapy known as distant healing, in which the practitioner and patient are in different locations, ranging from many feet to many miles away.

Invoking electromagnetic fields as causal in distant healing is impossible because electromagnetic energies diminish rapidly over distance, varying as the inverse of the square of the distance. Nonetheless, many biofield practitioners, including Reiki and external qi therapists, often learn and practice both local and distant healing.

Distant healing, which is often combined with spiritual healing and prayer, may involve   no energy transfer whatsoever if it occurs by the principle of quantum nonlocality, or it may involve a putative energy not yet identified in science. However, in this chapter, we will address only specific aspects of the human biofield that are tangible and can be measured. We will also focus only on local biofield therapy.

Devices and Techniques Used to Measure the Biofield

Various devices have been developed that claim to assess aspects of the biofield,            most of them electromagnetic in nature. That this area of research is in its infancy,        with inadequate funding, no ongoing government sponsorship, and developed by                a small number of people working largely in isolation, must be pointed out.

Thus, not surprisingly, several issues remain to be resolved.

Here, we describe a few of the devices and techniques that are being used in biofield research or the clinic that appear promising but that need further substantiation to become accepted.

These techniques fall into three categories: (1) high-voltage electrophotography,               (2) acupuncture point conductivity measurements, (3) and biophoton measurements.
High-Voltage Electrophotography: the Gas Discharge Visualization Camera

The gas discharge visualization (GDV) camera, developed by the Dr. Korotkov Co.,            St. Petersburg,  Russia, is perhaps the best-known form of contemporary high-voltage electrophotography based on the Kirlian effect (Kirlian and Kirlian, 1961) and was first discovered in Russia in 1948. Kirlian photography was not introduced to the West until   the 1970s because of communication difficulties during the Cold War.

This digital camera, introduced in the West in the late 1990s by its inventor, physicist      Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, comes with software and offers the advantage of using a lower voltage than conventional Kirlian photography… that is not felt… as an electric shock by subjects.

Factors that Encourage the Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation.

Though every person’s cells are affected by electromagnetic radiation, each is affected at different ‘speeds’. Here are some of the factors that encourage a faster or stronger reaction to EMF exposures.
High stress levels
Low iodine levels
Heavy metal toxicity
Having Lyme disease
Weakened immune system
High total EMF exposure (How full is your radiation ‘cup’?)
One or more single incident of very strong exposure
Having other pre-existing health problems

Glenna Gasper in our chat last evening we offhandedly chatted about. . . The Shock of a Cancer Dx, emotional conflict and how to overcome that. SO in this blog post. . . . I will go inside your mind and show you what is happening & give you a better understanding how to correct this. It was on February 24 2005 that my own father was told it was time for his cancer “leiomyosarcoma” to run its course. It was my belief he was now . . . in his 80’s . . . his insurance company red flagged him.

Talk about messed up. . .my life stopped instantly. For the next 14 months. . . . as we waited through his death sentence. . . .it was very taxing. Ultimately it caused me “severe depression.  Believe ME:  I know what cancer patients go through and it changed my life forever.  Since his death on April 3rd 2006.  I have been researching cancer and that’s how cancer changes you in the beginning, duration and in the aftermath?

Human beings possess a capability far beyond animals. Many ideas exist to explain the mind, but few understand the truth.  https://rcg.org/realtruth/articles/090806-002-science.html

Every cell in your body is replaced about every two months.  So,  the good news is,  you      can reprogram your pessimistic cells to be more optimistic by adopting positive thinking practices, like mindfulness and gratitude, for permanent results. Your Thoughts Activate Your Genes. You are speaking to your genes with every thought you have.

Fear can make your spine tingle and your hair stand on end, but can being afraid actually kill you? “There’s absolutely no doubt about it,” according to Dr. Martin Samuels, the chairman of neurology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Paula A. Johnson, MD, MPH, Executive Director, Connors Center for Women’s Health  and Gender Biology, and also Chief, Division of Women’s Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, leads a panel discussion stress with Martin A. Samuels, MD, Chair, Department of Neurology,  Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Helene Langevin,  MD, CM, Director, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital about the impact of stress on women’s mental and physical health as well as medical and non-medical approaches for relieving the symptoms arising from stress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rR1r8tCYU

92% of what we worry about never happens, so why are we so afraid to face our fears? In this episode, Shelby and Josh sit down with SUCCESS associate editor Jamie Friedlander who tried to conquer her fear of public speaking by taking on standup comedy.   Plus we reveal our biggest fears and how we faced them head on… or not. And then we take a look at the science behind our most basic instincts of fight or flight in a conversation with Jeff Wise, the author of Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger.

I learned a long time ago:                                                                                                                   Never  Judge a Restaurant by its exterior,                                                                                         for its the people on the inside that matters!!

In ancient Greek medicine illness was initially regarded as a divine punishment and healing as, quite literally, a Gift from the Gods. However, by the 5th century BCE, there were attempts to identify the material causes for illnesses rather than spiritual ones and this led to a move away from superstition towards scientific enquiry, although, in reality, the two would never be wholly separated.

From the time of the ancient Greeks, medical practitioners have searched biomarkers      for physical illnesses.  More recently,  doctors relied on patients’ complaints about the severity of their chest pains  in order to diagnose a heart attack.  Today,  they measure cardiac enzymes in the bloodstream.  “Cancer treatment doesn’t treat the symptoms of cancer.  You don’t want the swelling to go down or the pain to disappear; you just want      to get rid of the cancer,” said Kenneth Kaitin, director of the Tufts University Center for the Study of Drug Development. “But that’s what we’re doing in psychiatry,” treating the symptoms of mental disorders — the sadness or the restlessness or the hallucinations — not the causes.

Science Plus: how fear is wired in our brains!!!

What is known is that the brain looks different in those who struggle from traumatic experiences. . Post-traumatic stress disorder, for instance, occurs because of emotionally scarring experiences,  but those experiences change the brain and the brain’s responses    to the environment.

 Marris Szeliga,  a patient and employee of psychiatrist Hasan Asif, is fitted with an EEG cap that will allow him to analyze her brain-wave activity.

Tina Raymond, 61, says her treatment produced almost immediate results. In 2006, Raymond was robbed and beaten inside her storefront office in Mount Vernon, N.Y., where she designed seasonal displays for department stores. She saw several doctors, including Asif, for memory loss and PTSD from the attack, and she eventually recovered.

Then, in May 2014, just as Asif was ramping up his neurotherapy practice, Raymond returned, complaining of feelings of worthlessness.“ I was hitting a lull, an emotional lull,” she said. “I was depressed.  Getting out of bed was harder than usual. I’m a pretty upbeat person in general, so for depression to hit me it was distressing.”
Raymond filled out the color-coded form and scored the statements on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest.

“I feel unfocused, tired, and bored.”

“I have difficulty planning and organizing.”
“I worry a lot, and have difficulty stopping repetitive negative thoughts and actions,”     Asif next wired Raymond for a qEEG. The most striking image was a red blotch on the right side of her brain map, indicating too much slow-wave delta activity in the temple area. It’s a part of the brain that plays a role in mood regulation and motivation, and it wasn’t firing properly or communicating well with the left side of her brain.  Asif now    had his target areas.  He would use neurofeedback,  employing a video-aided reward system, to retrain Raymond’s brain.

Neurofeedback is a descendant of biofeedback, which uses medical instruments,            such as a blood pressure cuff, to monitor body functions and relay the information              to patients who then try to alter their physical responses.  Neurofeedback has had                a popular, if controversial, commercial application as a kind of relaxation therapy,           but recently psychiatry has studied it in combination with real-time brain imaging.

n 2013, for example, a team at Yale University found that neurofeedback used with functional MRI, another brain imaging technology, substantially reduced depression      and anxiety in patients.

For some neurofeedback sessions, Asif plays a pleasant nature movie during which the patient’s brain-wave activity is automatically compared every half-second to the goal. If the two are in sync, the patient’s brain is “rewarded” by the movie’s continuation. If they are not, the movie stops. Which means that in one 50-minute session, Raymond’s brain experienced 6,000 chances to be “rewarded” for learning how to reduce the delta-wave activity in the right hemisphere and re-establish its normal firing pattern.

If all this seems mysterious, scientists say it is no more inexplicable than children learning on their own how to play a video game or ride a bicycle. Our brains simply figure things out because that’s what they were built to do. For patients, the sense of control over their own treatment, of helping to heal themselves, is often exhilarating.

After those five sessions, Raymond felt her depression lift. Those overactive delta waves nearly disappeared, and her improving mood matched her brain map, evident by the diagnostic form she filled in before each session. Soon the 9’s and 7’s she had recorded before her first session were manageable 2’s and 3’s. She felt better in the same amount    of time it takes for most psychiatric medications to begin working, and she experienced   no side effects, except for the goop in her hair after each session.

Asif, she said, “ put my pieces back together.”
Internist Alexis Gopal often referred patients to Asif.

“I’ve sent him adolescents who have gone to successive psychiatrists and medication     after medication, and he can turn them around in two or three treatments,” said Gopal, who lives in Danbury, Conn., and now runs her own medical communications business.

For several years the doctor had dealt with her own, occasionally paralyzing anxiety, for which she took medication. When the problems worsened in 2014, she turned to Asif.

Gopal was skeptical about neurofeedback, having undergone biofeedback sessions           for migraines with another doctor; they hadn’t helped. Then Gopal went through Asif’’s movie-watching exercise. She also listened to a series of pleasant tones that degenerated into noise if she didn’t focus on modulating her brain-wave activity.

“You have to relax. And he tells you to focus on something,” she said. “I also remember specifically one session feeling like I was going to crawl out of my skin.  And I remember   at the end of one session I felt so relaxed and so calm, I thought, ‘Wow, this really works.”

Asif charges between $275 and $350 per session after an initial interview and evaluation, which includes a qEEG and costs about $550. Sessions are billed as either psychotherapy or medication management for insurance purposes.

Gopal said that she felt better with each visit, and there was a side benefit: Her migraines ended.

The Brain’s Biology: A Negative Feedback Loop System

January 20 2012

Are you ready for a challenge? I want you to make a list of all of the things that your      child or children have done right today. Go ahead, pull out a blank piece of paper or a blank computer screen and begin listing everything where your child did and behaved      as you wanted him to. I’ll wait while you take the time to actually complete this task.
Okay, now list the opposite. On the other side of the paper, or after creating a page break, list all of the things where your child did not do what you asked, did not listen to you, misbehaved – times when you felt annoyed, upset or aggravated.
For those of you reluctant to take the extra step of actually making the list, I guarantee   you that making this little effort will have greater impact and help your learning.
Our brain is a feedback loop system. In fact, it isn’t just the brain that is a feedback loop system. Every system and cell in our body is a feedback loop system. For the purpose of understanding life on a grand level, let’s talk about understanding the implications of this feedback loop system.
The human brain is a negative feedback loop systems. This means that whenever there       is a difference between what a person experiences in reality that is different from the ideal set point established by this person’s brain, an urge to also behave to correct the situation is created by the brain. For example, each person has a comfortable room temperature as his ideal set point.

When the room temperature dips below the ideal, the person will take action to correct the situation and re-establish the environment to match the comfortable room temperature set point established by this person. The creativity and adaptability of being human means you can choose from a wide variety of solutions to increase your warmth. You can put on warmer clothes. You can exercise, increasing your own internal temperature. You can build a fire, or turn up the heat, or sit in a sunny spot in the room. But any action you take is generated by the signal your brain gives you that what you want does not match what you are getting.

The important point to understand is that your brain is set up to notice what is wrong; to notice the exceptions, the mismatches, the painful areas that are out of order. It is the mismatch between what you want and what you are getting that creates the signal for you to take action.

Your brain does not notice when what you want matches what you are getting. You don’t pay attention. Because there is no signal generated by your brain, you aren’t even aware of it.

There are exceptions. When you finally get what you want after being out of balance for   an extended time, the relief of the match feels wonderful. Remember the joy and relief you have felt when you finally entered a warm room after being cold for too long? Sipping a hot beverage, snuggled up next to a fire after being outside in the cold for several hours, feels delightful. This match is a relief and is very much part of your awareness and gratitude.

But, are you aware of the temperature in the room you are in right now? If you are too  cold or too warm, then you probably are aware of it. But if you are in a comfortable room, you haven’t even noticed the temperature. Your brain functions to bring your awareness and action to situations when there is a mismatch – not when there is comfort, satisfaction, and a match.

Now let’s apply this idea to your interactions and relationship with children. As a classroom teacher, you are very aware of the children who are misbehaving in your classroom. Are you aware of the children who are cooperating, learning, and engaged?

Don’t despair if you are only paying attention to the misbehaving children. It is how     your brain functions. Your brain’s biology signals you into action when misbehaving children are present. Your brain’s biology gives you no notice of the well-behaved, cooperative children. They go unnoticed.

Because children’s brains function the same way, your students may not be aware of    what they are doing well, where they are achieving, and where they are being successful.  In order for this to happen, they have to go against their brain’s biology and extend extra effort to find the moments and also areas where their achievement matches their desired outcome. Looking for successful accomplishments, especially small and minor ones, is not part of our nature.

Going one step further by asking her what she did to be successful helps her learn, internalize, and grow to master the effective skills and habits she is developing. Does       she know what she can do to have even more success?  Although,  it may feel as if things   just turned out well without any effort on the child’s part, asking children to notice what they did well will maximize their learning because their brain is not going to automatically notice when there is a match. Without your helpful intervention, the brain will only notice the mismatch.

Are you aware of all of the ways your child is listening, is cooperating, and is doing just what you want? If you are, then this is probably a habit that took time and effort for you   to develop.

At the beginning of this article, I asked you to list the delightful matches between what you wanted and what you were getting from your child. I also asked you to list the mismatches where what you wanted from your child was different from what your were getting.

Which of these two lists was easier for you to make?

If you’re like most people, the mismatches were quicker and easier for you to identify    than the matches. Why? Because the biology of our brain is a negative feedback loop, giving us feedback and urging us to behave when we are not getting what we want.

With this powerful information you can make dramatic changes. For the next week,      start paying attention to all of the ways that life is working out for you. For instance,       the next time you drive to work, notice how many other drivers are cooperating with     you, driving safely, everyone free from an accident and danger. There may be one or        two drivers who are the unfortunate exception, but the vast majority of people on the   road with you are safe, cooperative drivers.

For the next week, notice all the ways your child is doing well, cooperating, and helping, being pleasant, friendly, and loving. There may be moments when he sasses you or she whines, but the vast majority of your life together is filled with cooperative and pleasant moments.

Teachers, the next time you enter the staff room, celebrate with your colleagues about    the 22 students who were working cooperatively with you on your most recent lesson rather than the one or two students who disrupted.

Are you getting the picture? You have to go against your biology, against your brain, to notice all of the matches – the pleasant, stress-free moments in your life and with your child. As you practice this skill more and more, it becomes a habit – one that will bring  you joy.

This is a powerful skill to teach children as well. When children notice their success, happiness, and achievement, and also attribute it to their own effective behaviors, they understand that what they do on a daily basis helps them meet their needs responsibly. They understand that their happiness is up to them and not dependent on anyone else. What a great gift of understanding to give to a child!

In Philippians 4:7 we have a wonderful promise: “The peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” It is important to note the context of this promise,  because that’s where we find the condition: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”  God’s peace is promised to guard those who pray—with thanksgiving—about everything.

This peace will transcend our ability to understand it.

The believer who places his or her full confidence in a loving God and is thankful in every circumstance will possess a supernatural peace. An inner calm will dominate the heart. The faithful believer will know peace—his heart and mind are “guarded” by it—despite the tempest raging without. No one, especially those outside of Christ, will be able to fathom that peace. To most, it will remain a mystery how someone can be so serene in the midst  of turmoil.

God’s supernatural peace surpasses natural understanding. A cancer patient who experiences a remission of the disease may proclaim, “I am so thankful to God!” That         is praise. A cancer patient who is dying and in pain may calmly say, “Everything is all  right. I claim Romans 8:28, I have peace in my heart.” That is “the peace that passes          all understanding.”

Jennifer Lopez turned 49 years old on Jul. 24, 2018. , Since entering the music scene in 1999 she has defied her age with sassy music videos. What better way to celebrate then to relive her best music video moments over the years?

Be grateful for every second of every day that you get to spend with the people you love. Life is so very precious. I remember the days when we actually talked. Todays focus is we are thinking GO – GO – GO and we seldom think about. . . .what we should be focused on   or learning from others.  Is this the root cause of disease: the dis-ease within that causes the disease?  0r Is that your Luck Out !!!

Let me ask — would you enjoy getting older?

Do you like feeling tired and foggy?
Are you thrilled about age spots and wrinkles?
Me neither…
Because it turns out that the REAL cause of aging — the wrinkles, the disappearing energy, the aches and pains… is nothing more than a simple vitamin deficiency.
Impossible?
But this is no ordinary vitamin. You won’t find it in ANY multivitamin pills. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find it at all, without Dr. Rothfeld’s help…
It’s known as “Vitamin G”… And while you probably haven’t heard of it, I guarantee you’ve seen what it can do…
Let me explain.

Remember Dick Clark?
Before he sadly passed away at 86, he was “America’s Teenager.”
For decades, the man just did not age…
If you’re like me, you used to watch him light up the screen on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, year after year, wondering what his secret was.
Indeed he did have a secret to staying young: Vitamin G.
You see, Vitamin G is not like the other vitamins…
It was first developed as an anesthetic, because it has mild painkilling properties.

But in the 1940s, a doctor at Romania’s National Geriatric Institute was experimenting with Vitamin G and realized, when given to elderly patients, it does a LOT more than numb pain.

She was shocked when her patients’ energy level.
Soared, a youthful glow returned to their skin, they displayed stunning mental sharpness, and the physical vitality of teenagers…
It was like they’d swum laps in the fountain of youth…
Turns out Vitamin G is kind of like a “cleaning crew” for toxic cells.
It reportedly penetrates stiff, worn-out cell membranes, flushing toxins and improving nutrient absorption.
That lets old, worn out cells rebuild themselves and actually grow younger.
Let me repeat that: your cells can actually grow younger.
That means you can…
Reverse almost every mental and physical symptom of aging!
Imagine…
Making most age spots and wrinkles disappear like magic as your skin gets tighter and firmer…
Regaining strength and agility in your arms and legs…
Improving your sex drive, your memory and mood, your circulation, blood pressure, and more…
Impossible?
I would have thought so too. But these were the reported results of one of the largest clinical trials ever conducted in Europe!
And get this — 70% of the people in the trial never contracted a single disease — and their death rate was 5 TIMES LOWER than the placebo group!
Imagine knowing you’re 70% less likely to be diagnosed with ANY disease… would that ease your mind a little bit?
You could relax and just… live… like you have all the time in the world…
So you must be wondering, what exactly IS Vitamin G?
It’s actually a combination of two natural compounds that already exist in your body, called PABA, and DEAE. They’re in the B vitamin family.

But when they’re combined in a certain ratio, they become a brand new kind of vitamin… one with the power to rewind the aging process in your cells!

It’s how Dick Clark, and scores of other celebrities, stayed so young for so long.
So why don’t doctors give it to all their older patients?
Well, for the last 34 years, drug companies have conspired with the FDA to make sure you — AND your doctor NEVER hear a peep about Vitamin G.
It started in 1981, when the FDA first heard about Vitamin G. They promptly labeled it an “unapproved drug” and banned it in the US.
Of course, it’s NOT a drug, it’s a natural substance, proven safe and effective in large-scale clinical trials… one that could rescue millions of seniors from the decline of aging…
But the FDA was just doing the bidding of their real bosses, the pharmaceutical companies.
To Big Pharma, regular vitamins and supplements are one thing. Vitamin G                         is simply too powerful…

Imagine, all those seniors tossing out their prescriptions, living long, healthy,               happy lives… without setting foot in a pharmacy again!

Unthinkable!
So Vitamin G was banned, and Dr. Anna Aslan’s research was smeared by Pharma scientists.   https://www.realgh3.com/gh3-articles-and-legal-decisions/aslan/

They did their best to erase all traces of Vitamin G from memory…
But Dr. Rothfeld isn’t fooled that easily.

He’s seen the stunning research on Vitamin G. He knows the only company in Romania that still produces it. And he gives it to his older patients, and they’re in LOVE with this age-reversing miracle…

Bottom line: if you’re fed up with feeling older than you should… if you want the energy you had when you were half this age… if you want to wake up every morning without pain… if you want the mental sharpness to hold a sparkling conversation with anyone you meet…

You NEED Vitamin G now more than ever!

And despite the best efforts of the government, it IS available if you know where to look.
But you have to know where to get it — and how to make sure you’re getting the REAL thing (there are quite a few fake versions for sale on the Internet — and they could be dangerous.)

If you’ve ever dreamed about getting a “second youth”… a resurgence of energy and vitality… this is your dream come true.

Vitamin G (or more correctly, Vitamin B2) is a constituent of several biochemical factors that carry out RedOx reactions within in your body. The RedOx (Reduction/Oxidation) reactions are significant in your bodies energy systems, particularly those that are oxidative.

The Right Chemistry: A cure for Alzheimer’s? Don’t believe it

  Published on May 31, 2017
If you love tea, then consider “tea time” as a way to drink to your health.

A recent Alzheimer’s study by the National University of Singapore followed 950 adults for 2 years who were 55 years old and older. Years later they conducted a follow up with them to assess their cognitive abilities.

Amazingly, the conclusion was that those who regularly drank tea lowered their risks of neurocognitive disorders by 50 percent. This same group of people – who were predisposed to Alzheimer’s – showed a 86 percent decreased risk of cognitive impairment.

Researchers generally agree that one specific tea isn’t more effective than any other. As long as its tea brewed from tea leaves and you consume it regularly, you can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.

So how do tea leaves benefit the brain?

Tea leaves are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that join forces to help protect the brain.

In a 2013 clinical study, researchers discovered that the theanine and caffeine in tea also enhanced a person’s performance at work. They reported being more creative and alert. This is due to combination of the caffeine and L-theanine (a relaxation-promoting amino acid).

Another 2012 study discovered that a chemical in green tea helps improve memory. It boosts the production of certain cells which the brain can then use to meet its own needs.

How To Enjoy Your Tea

First, you will need to use real tea leaves – and not the easy-to-use tea bags. So whether your preference is black or green, or any other kind, use organic, loose leaf tea. You can find them at a health store or grow and harvest on your own.
Next, beware of sweeteners. If you must add something to your tea, select organic raw honey. Or try adding coconut milk.

Investigative Reporter Greg Ciola interviews Rev. Bob Celeste about his use of Apricot kernels to overcome stage IV colon cancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xn16jkgVBo  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OdVlXuM5XM

Another expert agreed. “This shows you there is a link between vitamin D and the development of Alzheimer’s,” said Keith Fargo, director of scientific programs and outreach for the Alzheimer’s Association, one of several funding sources for the study. “What it doesn’t show you is that [cause-and-effect] link.”

Whether dietary changes or getting more sun exposure would help isn’t known, Fargo said. “We don’t know if increasing vitamin D levels would decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s,” he added.

Published online Aug. 6 in the journal Neurology, this is believed to be the largest study yet to find an association between low levels of vitamin D and dementia.

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining bone health. It is also thought to moderate cell growth and help control immune function and inflammation. Vitamin D can be obtained through food, through the skin after exposure to sunlight and from supplements.

Dementia describes a decline in memory and thinking that interferes with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia in old age, affecting about 5 million Americans, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

For this study, researchers looked at mentally healthy men and women who participated  in the U.S. Cardiovascular Health Study between 1992-93 and 1999. Their blood samples were collected at the start,   and their mental status was assessed roughly six years later.
Participants’ vitamin D blood levels reflected vitamin D from food, supplements and sun exposure. Dietary sources include fatty fish such as salmon, tuna or mackerel, as well as milk, eggs and cheese.

During the follow-up, those with low levels of vitamin D were about 1.7 times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal levels. Those with severely low levels were about 2.2 times more likely than those with normal levels to develop dementia, the study found.

The results echo some findings from other, smaller studies, Fargo said.                        “What’s important about this study is the large number of participants,” he said.
Experts disagree about the best blood level of vitamin D.  In this study,  risk for      dementia and also Alzheimer’s significantly increased below a threshold of 50      nanomoles per liter (nmol/L), the researchers said.

Exactly how low vitamin D may be linked with dementia isn’t known. Experts speculate that the vitamin may clear plaques in the brain linked with dementia. This has been shown in the lab, Fargo said. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with brain atrophy as well, according to background information in the study.

Until more research is in, Fargo recommended that people ”try to eat a brain healthy diet,” which is the same as a heart-healthy diet. That includes foods low in fat and cholesterol.
Let’s talk about cancer.
According to mainstream medicine, you only get cancer because you have a “genetic predisposition.” And the only way to treat it is with chemo and radiation.
That works out great for Big Pharma, since they charge up to hundreds of thousands         of dollars for these treatments…

Dr. Glenn S. Rothfeld

There are places in our world where alternative and natural treatments are absolutely thriving… Places where people never seem to age, and regularly live past 100…
Places where almost no one dies of cancer…
Places where arthritis is unheard of, and seniors live active, energetic and disease-free lives right up to the last breaths…
And these are the places that Glenn S. Rothfeld, M.D. studies to bring the latest health breakthroughs to his Nutrition & Healing subscribers.

Dr. Rothfeld operates the renowned Rothfeld Center for Integrative Medicine in Waltham, Mass.,  and he regularly scours the globe looking for the latest advances in natural health.
For nearly 35 years Dr. Rothfeld has helped patients identify and conquer the true underlying causes of diseases like diabetes, arthritis, and even cancer. His cutting-edge research into neurological diseases is creating exciting new avenues of treatment for seniors struggling with everything from Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s disease.
Dr. Rothfeld’s commitment to uncovering the latest health breakthroughs and educating his fellow physicians and patients is never-ending. He was named a fellow at Harvard University’s prestigious Channing Laboratory, and developed one of America’s first courses on alternative health for the world-class Tufts University School of Medicine.

According to Dr. Rothfeld, it is.

Think about this: at this very moment, we ALL have cancer.
It’s true!
Everyone — even the healthiest people in the world — have SOME cancerous cells               in their body at all times.
Most of the time, our immune systems find these cancer cells, get rid of them,                  and we’re none the wiser. This happens every moment of every day!
So if you end up with a life-threatening tumor, your genes aren’t to blame.
The problem is in your immune system.
Now, what you’re about to hear might just make you so furious you snap your keyboard over your knee… and I wouldn’t blame you one bit.
Because our loved ones are suffering poisonous chemo and radiation treatments…        when the FAR better approach has already been found!
Not only is it much safer and more effective, it’s actually proven in some studies                 to CURE certain cancers on its own.
That’s right — the vast majority of cancers are NOT a death sentence — not anymore.
Not since Dr. Rothfeld revealed…

The medicinal mushroom compound that can save you from 4 out of the 5                      most common cancers, using the power of your own immune system!

See, medicinal mushrooms have been used for centuries in Asia. And they’ve been            the subject of a LOT of research.
And for decades, there have been tantalizing hints that these mushrooms could be powerful weapons against cancer…
For example, one study showed that a mushroom extract could kill more than 90%             of bladder cancer cells — in just 72 hours — under laboratory conditions.
Another showed up to a 93% reduction in tumor size when it was given to mice.
But in test after test, when scientists try to replicate those results in people, they fail.
The problem is that the active molecules in medicinal mushrooms, called polysaccharides, are too big to be digested.
But a few years ago, scientists in Japan developed a technique to shrink them down.         It’s based on something called enzymatic fermentation.
The science is incredibly complex. But the end result is those same active molecules      from the mushrooms — the polysaccharides — at about 1% of the original size.
Dr. Rothfeld calls these “Reduced Polysaccharides.” And because they’re so much smaller than the original, they can be absorbed with ease… which means all the tumor-shrinking results from laboratory and animal studies is now within reach for YOU…
So how do Reduced Polysaccharides work?
This may be the best news of all.
Because they’re actually not cancer-killers themselves.
Instead, they empower your own immune system to kill cancer for you.
Specifically, they powerfully boosts the activity of your “Natural Killer” or NK cells.
NK cells are your body’s God-given anti-cancer medicine. As long as they’re working          at full force, cancer doesn’t stand a chance.
In fact, in another study on 17 cancer patients, the activity level of their NK cells doubled in just 2 weeks… and after 6 weeks, the activity of cancer-fighting NK cells increased up    to 1,000%!
What does this mean to you?
Simply put, it means…

This mushroom extract “switches on” the most powerful cancer-fighting system in nature… the one that’s already in your body.

8 Types of Medicinal Mushrooms

 By: Emily Lockhart 
For thousands of years mushrooms have been used to help sustain people around the world. But they do more than simply feed us and keep us alive. Mushrooms can also promote health and vitality, carrying out certain functions that other foods cannot.
The trick is knowing which mushrooms do what and how to find them. Thanks to the advancements of modern science,  we know more about mushrooms than ever before,  including how mushrooms can reduce inflammation, boost our immune system power, and give us more energy…
