Linda’s comments:  Finally a university does a study and admits they find that Fiber boosts our immune systems.  AND yes, a good Fiber can reduce inflammation associated with obesity related diseases.  The BEYOND FIBER I take has more than just fiber….please go here and read about the fiber I take twice daily… www.longevityplus.com <BEYOND FIBER>  This Beyond Fiber is part of the FIGHT protocol that I have been on for over 1 1/2 years.   I had tried over 15 different fibers before Beyond FIber.  I will never go back.  Healing our cells helps us to recover faster from different infections. 

A new University of Illinois study touts the benefits of soluble fiber - found in oats, apples, and nuts, for starters - saying that it reduces the inflammation associated with obesity-related diseases and strengthens the immune system.

Excerpt:

A landmark paper on homeopathy and cancer has appeared in the February 2010 issue of the International Journal of Oncology. Scientists at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDA), led by Moshe Frenkel, MD, have confirmed the ability of four homeopathic remedies to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in breast cancer cell lines in the laboratory. The scientists in question were from the Integrative Medicine Program, the Department of Molecular Pathology, and the Department of Melanoma Medical Oncology of MDA. Their two Indian collaborators were from the Banerji Homeopathic Research Foundation, Kolkata, India, where these same remedies are employed clinically with apparent success. The four ultra-dilute remedies in question were Carcinosin, Phytolacca, Conium and Thuja.

The study “provides preliminary evidence that milk thistle may be a safe, effective, supportive-care agent,” the researchers concluded in an online report in Cancer.

“Milk thistle needs to be studied further, to see how effective it is for a longer course of treatment, and whether it works well in reducing liver inflammation in other types of cancers and with other types of chemotherapy,” Kelly said in a press release issued by the American Cancer Society, publisher of Cancer. “However, our results are promising as there are no substitute medications for treating liver toxicity.”

One in six children today suffer from a neurodevelopmental disorder. This well referenced article from Lancet contains valuable information to enable you to educate yourselves in regard our need today for continual detoxification. 

Institute of Public University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark (Prof P Grandjean MD); Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA (P Grandjean); Department of Community Medicine (Prof PJ Landrigan MD); and Department of Pediatrics, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation, and cerebral palsy are common, costly, and can cause lifelong disability. Their causes are mostly unknown. A few industrial chemicals (eg, lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], arsenic, and toluene) are recognised causes of neuro-developmental disorders and subclinical brain dysfunction. Exposure to these chemicals during early fetal development can cause brain injury at doses much lower than those affecting adult brain function. Recognition of these risks has led to evidence-based programmes of prevention, such as elimination of lead additives in petrol. Although these prevention campaigns are highly successful, most were initiated only after substantial delays. Another 200 chemicals are known to cause clinical neurotoxic effects in adults. Despite an absence of systematic testing, many additional chemicals have been shown to be neurotoxic in laboratory models. The toxic effects of such chemicals in the developing human brain are not known and they are not regulated to protect children. The two main impediments to prevention of neurodevelopmental deficits of chemical origin are the great gaps in testing chemicals for developmental neurotoxicity and the high level of proof required for regulation. New, precautionary approaches that recognise the unique vulnerability of the developing brain are needed for testing and control of chemicals

  Linda’s comments:  Please share this with all you know….You just may save a life…make sure you go to the main webpage found at http://www.responsibletechnology.org and sign up for the newsletter.  Together we can win this war.  I guarantee you if you read Jeffery’s books you will want to form an army to take down Monsanto.  They LIE - CHEAT- and do NOT give a hoot about our health and welfare….   Learn all you can about GMO foods and just how deadly it is.  Protect our children and grand-children from the deadly GMO foods.  JUST SAY NO TO GMO!!

Excerpt:

A wise customer wanted to find out if the corn nuts she was eating were from genetically modified (GM) corn. She emailed the company and got a shocking reply. It began:

“Thank you for your contact. We are not aware of any GMO free corn in the U.S. We feel it is a ridiculous concern based on very poor science.”

The email, reproduced at the blog of Kelly the Kitchen Kop, even recommended:

“. . . if these concerns are truly important to you, you may be better served at a health food store.

We appreciate your patronage.

The Customer Support Team,

American Importing Co., Inc.”

Talk about being opinionated and misinformed.

There’s overwhelming evidence showing that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are unsafe. And there are plenty of sources for non-GMO corn.

Did this email get you angry? Are you thinking about flooding the company’s email with hostile missives? I had another idea.

I phoned the company owner.

I figured that although the email’s author was clearly misled, I also knew all about Monsanto and the other devious corporations that dis-informed him—and how they skillfully depict GMO critics as ridiculous and unscientific.

Linda’s comments:  READ labels folks….this is more proof why we need to eat organically.  If it isn’t GMO it is tainted with toxins, pesticides and insecticides.

 Linda’s comment:  Were you aware that all those beautiful flowers women get on Valentine’s Day is full of Toxic Pesticides.  Most don’t think about buying organic flowers.  Between the flowers and the corn syrup in the candy, everyone should have a “toxic” day.  I don’t mean to rain on your Valentine Day’s celebration, but things like this needs to be brought to everyone’s attention.  Who would have thought???  THEN, you have the “child slavery” used to pick and ship these beautiful flowers….

Wait a minute; that cannot possibly be true.

Can it?

The US Department of Agriculture states that “the Guinea pig’s vitamin C requirement is 10-15 mg per day under normal conditions and 15-25 mg per day if pregnant, lactating, or growing.” (1)

Well, that sounds reasonable. But how much is that compared to humans?

An adult guinea pig weighs about one kilogram (2.2 pounds). Guinea pigs therefore need between 10 and 25 milligrams of C per kilogram.

Linda’s comments:  Sorry folks, but this is CRIMINAL in my book.  How sickening of Johnson and Johnson for the sake of the bottom-line.  Diet/Nutrition, vitamins, herbals and supplements would work without drugging these poor folks…Wouldn’t you want your mom, dad, grandma to be healthy in their final days, instead of drugged beyond recognition.  Nursing homes like hospitals and other institutions take kickbacks to save their bottom-line.  THIS IS CRIMINAL…this needs to be stopped.
