Natural Solutions for Uric Acid Troubles


High uric acid in blood can form hard crystals inside people’s joints. The medical community calls this Gout. These crystals cause burning-pain, swelling, and can eventually lead to joint damage. For the most part, there are two systems that work together that cause high uric acid (monosodium urate) problems. The first one is when the body metabolizes purines found in protein products; mainly meats, and some from the human body itself. Once purines metabolize, it produces uric acid as its waste. Then the body must remove it through the kidneys and bladder. The second problem is Xan-thine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for building up uric acid in the blood. This is the enzyme that needs to be reduced in uric acid sufferers.

How to slowdown Xanthine Oxidase and reduce joint pain?
Use a multi-enzyme formula that includes protease, bromelain, and cellulase to counter xanthine oxidase. The antioxidants, high-dose vitamin C, and chlorophyll (plant enzyme) of Santé Pure Barley, is very effective. Last but not least, a good non-artificial multivitamin from Santé Pure Barley will work synergistically in balancing xanthine oxidase. If a person can reduce their intake of xanthine oxidase producing foods, such as caffeine, alcohol, and meats, then this would also help counter excess uric acid.

There are many factors that attribute to cancer including genetics, lifestyle, tobacco use, diet, and physical activity.

You Have About 30 Pounds Of Poison In Your Colon! Here is Your Solution




People do not give much thought to the functioning of the colon. The colon, however, is a vital part of a healthy, functioning body.

The colon also known as the large intestine removes water, salt, and some nutrients forming stool. A colon that is not functioning correctly will hold onto waste longer than is good for your body. An unhealthy colon does not move along the waste efficiently at all. This results in what is known as a leaky gut.

It should take only around 24 hours for food to process through your body, but with the modern way of eating that lacks essential nutrients the transit time sometimes slows to 70 hours which results in up to 30 pounds of accumulated waste. One of the most common signs of this condition is constipation.

“The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black.”

Deadly Pills: A National Epidemic

Drugs are now the No. 1 accidental killer in the U.S., with the vast majority of deaths caused by prescription meds.

An article published in PEOPLE magazine recently shared what every Chiropractor on the planet tries to share with their patients: Drugs are Deadly, Prescription or Over-the-counter.

“The statistics are staggering, the medicines powerful and highly addictive: This year more Americans will die of drug over-doses than in any other type of accident – including car crashes. In most cases, those deaths are caused by pills in many people’s medicine cabinets given to them by trusted doctors, left over from routine surgeries or prescribed to manage chronic conditions. ”

According to Dr. Leonard Paulozzi of the CDC, “Prescription drug overdoses are a serious nationwide problem for which we haven’t yet found a solution.”

Deadly Combinations


The drugs that are killing the most people right now didn't originate on the street, but with a prescription.


The body of a prescription drug overdose victim arrives at the medical examiner's office in Largo.

 Prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs now kill about 500 people a year in the Tampa Bay area, triple the number killed by illegal drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

Prescription drug overdoses killed 433 people in the bay area in 2006, up from 339 the year before. Though 2007 figures aren't complete, the area is on pace for about 550 deaths. That means prescription drug overdoses are likely to overtake car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death here.

"The numbers are pretty staggering," said Bill Pellan, director of investigations for the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office.

Statewide, prescription drug overdoses caused 1,720 deaths in 2006, up about 40 percent from just three years earlier. In 2007, the state was on a pace of about 2,000 deaths.



"It's almost like the same case every day. Multiple drugs, history of drug abuse -- at least once a day," said medical examiner Jon Thogmartin.

 Medical examiner Jon Thogmartin has made observations about people who die as the result of prescription drugs. "They don't take care of themselves, their home. (They are) barely employable. Generally, that's the type of person we see dead."

Michael Wood, 39, displays a picture of his fiance Sharon Simpson, in the Largo home he shares with his mother. Simpson died of an overdose on Jan. 1, 2006. "She had a lot of pain all the time," Wood said. Those pain pills were like candy to her."

"This has become an epidemic," says Circuit Judge Dee Anna Farnell, center, here speaking to a drug offender at the Pinellas County Criminal Justice Center. "It was cocaine in the '70s, crack in the '80s. Now it's the abuse of pharmaceuticals."

Debbie Curry of Seminole holds a picture of her daughter Marissa Curry, who died at 24 from a prescription drug overdose. "You do have people who have legitimate needs and they should be able to get their medications without having to suffer," she says. "But if you take one pill, you don't take four."

Barley Grass Improves Health in Type 2 Diabetics and Reduces Cholesterol





Type 2 diabetes mellitus is by far the most prevalent type of diabetes among adults. In a 2010 medical study, it was suggested that medicinal plants might have therapeutic effects on complex diseases such as diabetes. Barley grass powder was selected because of its reported benefits. The experimental group of diabetics took 1.2 g of barley grass capsules every day for sixty days. The control group took no supplementation. No other changes were made, and no other alternative measures were taken. The patients' fasting blood sugar and lipid profiles were taken at the beginning and end of the study.

Supplementing with barley grass powder caused a significant fall in the fasting blood sugar level of the experimental group. No change was noted in the control group. There was a 5.1% reduction in overall cholesterol levels after two months. The researchers also noted that the risk of coronary heart disease was significantly reduced in the diabetics who took barley grass supplements.


LEUKONYCHIA

Have you ever wondered what those white dots on your nails are?



Those white dots are formed because of the formation of air bubbles between your nail and the nail bed. The medical term for this is "LEUKONYCHIA".

Causes:
- Nail injury or bacterial infection
- Lack of vitamins and essential nutrients like zinc and protein
- Ulcer in advance form can affect the fingernails
- Anemia
- Organ failure
- Hereditary factor
- People with diseases like typhoid, cholera, rheumatic fever, and colitis
- Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
- Prolonged use of nail enamels and nail hardeners

Treatment:
- Include protein, zinc vitamins in your diet (You can eat nuts and green leafy veggies)
- Avoid changing nail polish too often and use trusted brands

In case if the white spots or white coloration on the fingernails does not improve for more than 2 months, you can consult your doctor who would help you to find the actual cause. Almost in many cases, the symptoms of leukonychia are due to deficiency of nutrients and zinc and only in rare cases, it will be due to underlying systemic disorders.

Study Exposes The Exact Effect of Energy Drinks On The Heart

Energy Drinks have been found to cause irreversible damage to tooth enamel and detrimentally affect the contraction of the heart. According to an ongoing study reported at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the popular drinks consumed by millions not only increase contractility of the heart, but they may cause long-term health risks.

 


At the annual Chicago meeting Jonas Dorner MD from the University of Bonn’s cardiovascular imaging section, who is working on the study, said that until now, no-one had worked out the exact effects of energy drinks on heart functioning.

Citing concerns over possible adverse side effects of energy drinks on heart function, especially in adolescents and young adults, Dorner said there was “little or no regulation” of the US market.

 A recent study published in the May/June 2012 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry, found that an alarming increase in the consumption of sports and energy drinks, especially among adolescents, is causing irreversible damage to teeth–specifically, the high acidity levels in the drinks erode tooth enamel, the glossy outer layer of the tooth.

3 Times Higher Caffeine

Noting that caffeine levels in energy drinks are up to three times higher than in other caffeinated drinks including coffee or cola, Dorner said known side-effects included a rapid heart rate, palpitations, a rise in blood pressure “and in the most severe cases, seizures or sudden death”.

Manufactured by the chemical industry, synthetic caffeine is big business in many drinks that contain the drug.

THE CHICKEN WINGS

CHICKEN WINGS - Its Dangerous



Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst.

The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but! she was terribly wrong. A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her.

He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits. You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings.

Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists.

These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth..

It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

Aspartame: Putting the DIE Into Dieting Since 1981

Written By: Sayer Ji, Founder "http://www.greenmedinfo.com"

 

Male rat with lymphoma following aspartame treatment.

Pushed globally as a beneficial to dieters since its approval in 1981, accumulating research indicates that aspartame may actually damage the brain and cause cancer, to name but a few of a wide range of adverse health effects consumers risk by using this 'no-calorie' sugar alternative.

Google "aspartame" and you will find http://www.aspartame.org/ in search result position #1.  Billing itself as an 'Aspartame Information Center,' this website opens with "The Benefits of Aspartame," discussing how as a 'low-calorie' sweetener aspartame helps consumers with weight control, diabetes and the prevention of tooth decay.

Aspartame in your Food May Cause Brain Damage

Written By: Anne Gordon, RN


Known as NutraSweet or Equal, Aspartame, is an artificial sweetener, and is 180 times as sweet as sugar. Present in over 6000 products, Aspartame itself does not occur naturally. It was discovered in 1965 and approved by the FDA in 1981. Many researchers have linked a host of health problems, including brain diseases, migraines and neurological ailments to Aspartame.

Due to potential adverse reactions, foods and beverages containing Aspartame are required, by law, to include a label statement indicating that the product contains phenylalanine. Phenylalanine can cause a rare disease, Phenylketonuria. Approximately one in 15,000 people get affected. These people have a hereditary lack of the enzyme necessary for normal metabolism of phenylalanine thus must avoid the ingestion of phenylalanine.

Aspartame is unstable if subjected to prolonged heating. In liquids, Aspartame decomposes during prolonged storage, reducing the shelf life of soft drinks. Furthermore, if left in the sun, in soft drinks for example, Aspartame could have additional unhealthy side effects.
