Could Stress & Prescription Medications Cause Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease?

"Medications and stress may be contributing to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In a recent study conducted at the University of California, Irvine, researchers discovered that when genetically modified mice were injected with dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid similar to the body's natural stress hormones, the levels of the proteins beta-amyloid and tau in the brain increased by 60 percent. This is significant because these are the same proteins that form the plaques and tangles which form the hallmark brain legions in Alzheimer's disease."

What Story Keeps Making The Rounds?

As I was searching the web I found a particular story that has 'done the rounds' of the media once again in recent days. This is a news item that has cropped up in major media once or twice a year in the last half decade (a quick search of the web reveals). What is the story?

The one about how much food we manage to waste in our arguably overly well-blessed society.

It appears that in the UK, they are currently throwing out over 30 percent of the food bought every week. In other words so much food is bought, nearly one third of it actually goes past its 'best before' date before anyone gets around to eating it. One reason for this is....

Is French Green Clay The New Penicillin?

"Scientists in England have discovered a new and highly effective weapon against deadly superbugs like the MRSA sweeping through dirty hospital wards – green French muck.

The dramatic antibiotic success of agricur, a clay made from ancient volcanic ash found in the mountains of central France, marks it out as a potential rival to penicillin, the wonder drug of the 20th century. In experiments, the clay killed up to 99 per cent of superbug colonies within 24 hours. Control samples of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) grew 45-fold in the same period."

Pet Food Ingredients Revealed!

As recent pet food scares have clearly demonstrated, pet food is a dumping ground for meat by products unfit for human consumption. Even many so-called 'natural' or 'premium' pet food products are made with ingredients of dubious quality. The pet food industry, by and large, is driven solely by profit, and most pet food manufacturers source the cheapest possible ingredients to put into their products, regardless of the detrimental health consequences on pets. The huge rise in diabetes and cancer in dogs and cats over the last two decades, for example, is almost entirely due to the toxic ingredients commonly used in pet food and pet treats.

salt is found in 69% of pet food products analyzed & is used to cover up rancid meat and fat. Salt can cause kidney and heart disease, hypertension.

Aloe and Blood Sugar

Inside of every ones blood there are sugar levels that need to be at certain amounts each day and all day. When the amount of blood sugar is low in some one they can experience irritability, weakness, fatigue, head aches, shakes, jitters, and uncontrollable hunger.

When blood sugar levels get too high our body makes insulin. Blood sugar is not something you can play around with, it can affect your entire body, and if it gets low enough you could have a real problem on your hands.

Aloe has been used in studies of blood sugar and has yet again come out with good responses. Studies have been run and research has been done, aloe vera can help with blood sugar levels.

Today over half of our population is over weight. There are also more cases of diabetics. These two problems are caused by blood sugar levels, and are also some of our most dangerous problems. When blood sugar levels are balanced, we have more energy to exercise.

We also find that we don't feel as sluggish and lazy feeling when our blood sugar levels are up. Keeping a balanced blood sugar level is important for our health, and aloe is capable of doing so. The minerals and trace elements in aloe are being used more and more for problems in the body.

Aloe contains the right minerals, trace elements, and vitamins to help control blood sugar levels. What one study did, was when a diabetic took their medicine, they also took a spoon full of aloe juice with it, while this diabetic did this, another one took nothing but his medicine.

The diabetic who had taken the spoon full of aloe juice had a balanced blood sugar level, while the person who took nothing but the medicine experienced lower blood sugar.

Herbal Wrap Body wraps

Herbal Body wraps have been used for centuries. The Egyptians discovered the benefits of detoxifying the body, just as the Chinese. Traditionally, body wrapping has been used to tighten and tone the skin, and help stimulate the body to rid itself of trapped toxins, excess fat and lymph fluids. The results are obvious and instantaneous!

Over the years, our bodies accumulate waste products that normally are excreted through the kidneys, the G-I tract, or the skin. These waste products are comprised primarily of environmental contaminants and metabolic waste by-products. As these organ systems fail to rid the body of all these unwanted chemicals, these wastes products get stored in areas of the body called the interstitial space. Interstitial spaces are the areas in between adjacent cells. Primarily, these waste products build up in the interstitial spaces in the skin and subcutaneous tissues where they draw water to themselves to maintain an even osmotic pressure with the fluid inside the adjacent cells. As these contaminants and the resulting fluid accumulate, they impede the normal circulation to the adjacent tissues. This makes it even more difficult for the body to flush these impurities from the body, which allows the contaminants to accumulate even faster.

Now that we have these fluids collected in our skin, what can we do? Exercise and drinking water (always encouraged) will flush some of it, but some of the "puffiness" just doesn't go away with exercise. This fluid between the cells can contain chemicals that in high amounts would be considered toxic. Medical professionals refer to these waste products as toxins. These wraps work because they flush these waste products and unwanted chemicals from the system! Once the root cause of the water retention is gone, the water that these chemicals drew in with them is flushed out as well. Once this occurs, phenomenal things happen. The skin is tightened and toned over the entire body. Problem areas disappear as the fluid that made the area puffy is flushed out!

It's important to note that this system creates results that not even dieting or exercise can! No matter how much weight is lost, or how much muscle is toned, the problem of loose and puffy skin and subcutaneous tissues won't disappear until these impurities are flushed from the system. And this problem actually is more visible as a person loses weight.

Think about it - if the root problem is unwanted waste product built up in your system, your problem will stay away for as long as the root cause does.

Ayurvedic Medicine

Herbs were used as natural medicines in many cultures before modern time medicines we have come to know. Today, some of these same plants and herbs are in our kitchens and used in everyday cooking.

The tradition of using holistic practices is called Ayurvedic Medicine. This has been used throughout history to treat disease and prevent illness naturally.

While you may not realize it, a lot of these plants and spices have traveled across the ocean from India to the United States. Among these herbs are Ginger, Gotu Kola, Gymnema, Cinnamon, Boswellia or Frankincense and East Indian Globe Thistle, all of which can be found in the town herbalist store or perhaps even in the grocery store.

Ginger is often used to aid in digestion but has also been used to help with gas, colic and to decrease the symptoms of heart burn. But that’s not all. It has also been employed as a tonic to enhance vigor and also as an antidepressant. Ginger is also known as Sunthi or Adrak in India.

Gotu Kola, which should not be confused with the Kola Nut, is one of the most common herbs in India. The Gotu Kola has been used to heal wounds, with skin disorders, as a sleep aid due to its sedative nature. It has also been used to lower blood pressure.

One herb that has been in the press a lot is the Gymnema Sylvestre or Gumar. That is because it has the appearance of blocking sugar. The first thing that one will notice is that if you place a small amount on your tongue, you can no longer taste the sweets that you crave. The idea is that this herb may have the same effects internally as well. However, because you cannot taste sweets, you will not crave them and therefore, will not have a sweet tooth. The use of this herb in diabetics did show a decrease in blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon is another well known herb that has been used for hundreds of years by Ayurvedic Herbalists. It acts as a stimulant and also used frequently for tooth ache pain, for rheumatism and even and as astringent. It seems the essential oil contained in cinnamon has anti bacterial and anti fungal properties as well.

Boswellia is also known as frankincense. The residue of the herb is gummy and used as an anti inflammatory, also has been employed as an expectorant as well as a booster for the immune system.

East India Globe Thistle has been considered an energizer but also seems to have qualities that make it an anti diabetic herb as well. Medicines that have anti oxidant effects and reduce blood sugar will sometimes have East India Globe Thistle.

Of course, this is just a brief sampling of the Ayurvedic herbs that have been used for centuries. It is notable that some of the items that modern cultures regard as food or spices are also on this list such as apricot and licorice.

As with anything, if you have a medical condition or on medications, you must consult your doctor before adding herbal remedies to your routine. Just because an item is natural, doesn’t mean that it is without risk or side effects. For example, one of the properties of ginseng is that it thins the blood. If you are already on blood thinning medication, you blood may become too thin and cause problems.

Health & Happiness Are in Your Hands

All of us are in search of permanent happiness. It’s what we spend most of our time in pursuit of. But understand, our happiness is not dependent on anything outside of ourself. It is fully within the potential of every human being once we understand the relation between our thoughts and our actions. Each action is preceded by a thought, and thoughts motivate us to act. Thoughts are nothing more than waves of energy to which we are receptive. Each of us is tuned, like a radio receiving set, to specific frequency patterns of energy. We receive those waves that are in resonance
with us, like attracting like. It’s the law. It’s the way the whole universe, both seen and unseen, is set up. We are energy beings, living in an unseen ocean of energetic waves that cannot be seen but whose effects we can feel.

Energy in Sole

There is an unlimited potential of Energy released when water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ (OHCS) combine. The negative poles of the water molecules surround the positive ions in the salt and the negative ions in the salt are surrounded by the positive polarized particles of the water molecules. This changes the geometric structure of the water and the salt, and creates something entirely new, a third dimension. The water no longer is water and the salt no longer salt. The elements have liberated themselves from their restrictions, given up their polarities by the resonant effects, and reached a higher form of energy. Only through this process of attaining higher levels of consciousness, can we relinquish our polarities and return into the oneness of all elements. This is exactly what transpires when water and salt meet. The willingness of the water to give up its own identity, in return, liberates the salt from its manifested identity—to overcome the powers of the grid work and to separate sodium from chloride. Both elements are ionized, which releases their stored energy and information."The recipe for Sole & more on "Original Himalayan Crystal Salt™ Sole - An Ocean Of Potential Energy" can be found here:

Your not Sick Your Thirsty

It really is this simple. Water is a nutrient and it is fuel for our system. When the pharmaceutical model for health was being created, they chose to ignore water which makes up 70 percent of our body mass. Without the hydraulic affect of water we could not stand and support our own weight. We could not think, move or send and receive messages from the brain. We wouldn’t be able to feel anything without the support of water in the system. It is only in the last fifteen years that the enormity of this mistake is being realized. Sadly, this information has been in western medical literature for over forty years. Anyone willing to follow this simple precept, and move away from media based misconceptions, will benefit themselves and their loved ones with a huge reduction in the incidence of all degenerative disease. Imagine if this simple preventative measure reduces the risk of Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes and all the others down the line, by fifty percent. This is usually the point where I ask if everyone would follow this simple rule and stick to it. It is also where everyone nods their heads in an affirmative manner without any real conviction or belief. We really need to unwrap our minds from the media ads and begin to take control of our own health. The simple truth is...water works – especially water treated with X2O. Everything else is a poor substitute and over taxes the body. So if you haven’t figured it out, I want people to drink water. Yes, that’s it. Drink water – and in my opinion, it should be X2O water. All the benefits of drinking pure water are well documented. Energy drinks, soda, coffee and tea don’t hydrate or clean the system. All of them actually cause you to lose more fluids. Do your own test. Drink a can of soda or a cup of coffee or tea, containing eight or twelve ounces, then measure your urine output over the next several hours. You will put out more fluid than you took in.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an athlete, musician, journalist, lawyer, doctor or mail person. Water is the high-octane gasoline for your body. Sports drinks, soda, coffee and all the others don’t approach the effectiveness and benefits of properly hydrating and cleaning the system with water. An argument can be made for any liquid and its proposed benefit. None of these arguments HOLD WATER. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. There is just too much evidence to the contrary. This information is now available at the touch of a finger to a computer. The claims for many of these liquids border on, at the least, subterfuge. At the worst, outright lying. When you are thirsty, for health and vitality, stick with the “original” - water. Listen to your own body. See how it responds to taking on the fuel that God and nature intended. Water made up 70 % of your body’s mass the day you were born and quite simply the loss of it has contributed to many of the health problems we witness today.

So here it is and this is the HOLY GRAIL of well being: If you want to be healthy, if you want to be active, if you want to have more energy, be able to think more clearly, avoid depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, panic attacks, constipation, acid reflux and a slew of other ordinary everyday complaints; drink more water.

Would you like an easy way to look at almost everything which has gone wrong with our health? Here it is: You may laugh, but I am serious; if the media is telling you something is a good idea, well it probably isn’t and they just don’t realize it yet, or they know its wrong, but have so much time and money invested in an ad campaign they won’t back away from it.

For example, back in the 1950's there were commercials and ads which told us that cigarettes helped us breathe. Doctors were actually used to promote these beliefs. The perception became reality, and once ingrained things are hard to change. Over twelve million people have died because of our socially accepted, government supported addiction to nicotine and Cigarettes. Now, after years of fighting about the health risks associated with smoking everyone agrees, including the media that smoking isn’t good for anyone, yet it is still legal. This addiction kills more people in a year than alcohol, heroin, crack, and cocaine combined and still our children start smoking. All this shows is that change is up to the individual. What I am trying to say in the present is that maybe...THINGS DON’T “GO BETTER WITH COCA COLA,” “PEPSI MAY NOT BE NUMBER ONE”, “DOING THE DEW” ISN’T a good idea. There is a reason all of these beverage giants are getting into the “water business.” Follow the money folks.

Water is the only way to hydrate and cleanse the inside of the body. Think about the inside of your body. Try to imagine all of the effort it takes to keep everything clean and functioning at an optimum level. We can’t reach in and scrub the dirt out of our heart, lungs or liver, but we can help by making sure the things we put into the system are the best to keep it functioning.

Vitamin C for Colds & Flu

This study indicates that mega dose vitamin C therapy can help prevent as well as therapeutically treat the symptoms of cold and flu.

Doctors Gorton and Jarvis of Utah, USA, conducted a controlled study to investigate the effect of mega dose vitamin C in preventing and relieving cold and flu symptoms.

The investigators tracked the number of reports of cold and flu symptoms for 1991 and compared the results with reports of like symptoms for 1990.

A total of 715 students ages 18 to 32 years were divided into 2 groups.

The test group involved 252 students. When the test group presented with symptoms, they were treated with hourly doses of 1000mg of vitamin C for the first 6 hours and then 3 times daily thereafter. Those not presenting with any symptoms were given 1000mg dose of vitamin C 3 times a day.

The control group included 463 students. When they presented with symptoms, they were treated with pain relievers and decongestants.

The results of this study found that of the flu and cold symptoms in the test group decreased by 85% compared to the control group.

Vitamin C in mega doses administered before or after the appearance of cold and flu symptoms relieved and prevented the symptoms in the test group.

The authors also mention that, "for more than 30 years vitamin C in megadose quantities has been recognized as an effective agent against colds and flu. Nobel laureate Linus Pauling was an early advocate of the treatment of colds and flu with vitamin C".

Joint & Pain Relief

Joint & Pain Relief with Salt Baths
Try a Salt Bath for natural relief from arthritis pain along with the detoxifying benefits you will receive. This also works well with any kind of joint aches & pains from other diseases like lupus.

Salt Baths will rejuvenate and stimulate your skin according to its needs. It has a strong purifying and re-mineralizing effect; restores the balance of energy levels and provides extreme relaxation.

Bath Salt Crystals are great for aches and pains and they also help to beautify your skin. Add salt crystals in your bathtub and they will dissolve in the water slowly as your tensions of the day also melt away.

Your skin is an excretive organ that mirrors the condition of your intestines. When you take a brine bath, the salt minerals penetrate your skin in form of ions. This stimulation will cause natural cell growth in your living cell layers. Bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and your body's energy flow will be activated. While anyone can benefit from a brine bath, it is particularly soothing for those with:

* Various skin diseases.

* Rheumatism and joint diseases.

* A post-operative care regimen.

* Gynecological diseases.

* Recurring infections

* Severe insect bites, blisters or wounds.

* Skin irritations from poison oak, ivy or sumac.

Go ahead- pamper yourself. You deserve it!

How to prepare for bath:
For standard salt bath add Dead Sea Salts with Magnesium when you start running the water for bath. Most of the Salt Crystal will dissolve by the time the bath is ready. The ideal water temperature is 97-100 degrees (F) in order to match your body's natural temperature, which allows for maximum transfer of minerals to enter and toxins to be eliminated. You should not use any bath additives, soaps, or oils. Soak yourself for 20-30 minutes. After the bath please do not towel dry or rub dry but let the skin air dry naturally. A 15-20 minute rest is recommended after the bath to allow for final trace minerals to be absorbed through the skin. Once you take your first salt bath with Dead Sea Salts with Magnesium, you will never go back to your ordinary bath salt again.

Moon Baths
On the day of the full moon the body's absorption potentials is at peak. At full moon, the body will absorb the most minerals from the salt bath. Weak points are harmonized and the body's own energy flow is activated.
New Moon Bath

At the new moon the body's capacity for detoxification is at its highest. This is an ideal time for a cleansing salt bath. The saltwater bath has a "deslagging" effect, similar to a three-day fast. Weight adjustment and decontamination of the body are supported.

For either of the moon phase baths you can use more salt than a regular bath, but you would want to work up to higher amounts gradually over a period of many baths.

WARNING: While brine baths have a positive effect on many ailments, they are also demanding on your circulatory system. Please consider your age and your health. If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, are pregnant or have any health problems, always consult your health professional first.


Body Peeling - Do you feel tired and without energy? Make some time and treat yourself to a full body peeling. First take a shower with warm water to open the pores. A body peeling made from a mixture of pure Dead Sea salt with Magnesium and oil is ideal for de-toxification. You will achieve the same purifying effect as going on a several day fast. At the same time you will receive an energy boost due to the high concentration of minerals in the salt mixture. The peeling will also enhance the blood circulation in your skin.

Directions for Use: In a little bowl, mix 3.5 Tbs. (50 ml) of salt with 1 Tbs. (15 ml) of jojoba, rosehip, primrose or other good oil and a quarter tsp (1 ml) of 100% pure essential oil (lavender, or other to suit your taste). Stir the mixture until it is smooth. Lie down on a bath towel and rub your whole body with this mixture. You can enjoy deeper relaxation if somebody else does this for you. Wrap yourself in the towel then cover yourself with a blanket. Keep the peeling for about half an hour. You will experience a warm flow throughout your body, which shows that the body cells began their work. Rinse off the peeling with warm water and gently pat dry your skin. Don't rub it dry. The oil will remain on your skin and make it soft and velvety.

Calcium Comparison Test Results

Best Calcium:
"The following tests prove which calcium supplement your body can use best. Coral Calcium Supplements & other popular Calcium Supplements were compared in these tests.

Xooma's X2O registers 500 times more alkaline than the next closest product in the Lab Comparison of Calcium & Coral Calcium Supplements conducted by Dr. Jeff Bennert, ND, PhD.

Supplemental calcium tablets sold in the stores are not always a pure form of calcium. Most have calcium components combined with stabilizers. First these tablets must be dissolved by digestive secretions & then ionized in order to be utilized. But only a small part of the original compound actually gets dissolved & ionized.

Tests of over-the-counter calcium based supplements that are most often recommended by physicians & pharmacists were conducted by an independent laboratory.

The tests were designed to measure the pH, the oxidation-reduction capabilities, the electrical conductivity, & the ability to counteract the rouleauing effect on erythrocytes.

The tests were conducted using steam distilled water containing crushed powders of each of the products. The pH results were obtained using standardized digital pH meters. High pH test numbers equate to a high level of alkalinity. Low pH results equate to a high level of acidity. The pH scale advances at an exponential power of 10 for each level. Xooma's X2O registered 500 times more alkaline than the next closest product.

Oxygen-reduction results were obtained using a standard Oxygen Reduction Potential or ORP meter. The degree of negativity of an ORP reading is an indicator of how bioavailable & bioabsorbable a product will be. The more negative the test reading, the more ions are available for body metabolic functions. Xomma's X2O was the only product to register strong minus readings on the ORP meter.

Electrical conductivity measurements are tested in ohms using an OHM meter. An ohm is a unit of electrical measurement which demonstrates the amount of electrical resistance of a substance. The lower the ohm reading, the easier it is for electrical impulses to be conducted through the tissues & fluids of the body. The less electrical resistance there is, the more efficiently the metabolic process progresses. This relates to ionic polarization, the osmotic gradient, and the availability of positive and negative ions within the cell membranes. A normal ohm reading for human tissue is approximately 500 ohms. After drinking water containing 1 gm of Xooma's X2O the ohm of a human test subject dropped from 500 ohms to 40 ohms. When 1 gm of the other sample products was added to water & then consumed, there was not an appreciable difference in the ohm reading of test subjects.

Live blood cell screening, using a phase contrast, darkfield microscope, visually shows the level of acidity present in blood serum. High acidity results in high erythrocyte rouleau (the sticking together of red blood cells creating a low oxygen carrying ability). The blood serum of all tests subjects initially showed no rouleau as viewed through the phase contrast, darkfield microscope. Therefore, the blood serum of all test subjects was alkaline in nature. A cola was given to the test subjects to acidify their blood serum. Then product samples were given to the test subjects to see if the sample would restore the subject's blood serum to the "no rouleau", alkaline condition. Identical comparison tests were conducted over a five day period. The higher the pH reading advances in alkalinity, the less amount of erythrocyte rouleau is present. Xooma's X2O was the only product that returned the blood serum of the test subjects from a highly acidic, high blood rouleau condition to a highly alkaline, no blood rouleau condition.

Note that the lower the results on OPR, the better.

The following is a list of products tested & the results:

Product Correlation:
There was a high correlation between the pH level of the sample products and the amount of erythrocyte rouleau. There was less correlation between the ORP readings and electrical conductivity between the products. Xooma X2O was the only product that showed positive biological function results in all four of the test areas.

Xooma X2O U.S. Patent 4463031 & 4540584. Search the U.S. Patents & Trademarks Office Official Website for the numbers above, read the patents & find out for yourself why Xooma X2O is superior. Not all coral is processed the same & many brands contain harmful levels of lead, mercury, cadmium arsenic etc, which Xooma's X2O patented process removes without disturbing the good elements.

Comments:
The wide range of variability displayed by the testing results seems to be linked with the bioavailability & bioabsorbability of the type of calcium being ingested. Calcium minerals, in their elemental state, are normally only 8 to 40% biologically available to animals & to humans. After reaching the age of 35 to 40, the availability of minerals to humans drops to 3 to 5%. Older people may not produce enough digestive acid to put calcium, magnesium, & potassium into ionic suspension.

Calcium lactate is an example of a typical supplement. a 2,000 mg tablet of calcium lactate will chemically break down to 860 mg of milk sugar or lactose and 140 mg (or 16%) of elemental calcium. The 140 mg of elemental calcium from the calcium lactate must then undergo digestion in order to become ionized calcium. The end result is that only 10% of the original elemental calcium ingested is ionized and becomes bioavailable to the human body. This means that after the 140 mg of elemental calcium from the calcium lactate completes the digestive process you will end up with 10% of the original 140 mg, or 14 mg of biological ionic calcium available for metabolic use. Different types of calcium provide different percentages of elemental calcium. For example, calcium carbonate provides 40% elemental calcium, while calcium gluconate supplies 9% elemental calcium.

It is important for calcium to be consumed in healthy amounts. Although, just because it is consumed it does not always end up being absorbed by the body. Usually, between 10 to 40% of dietary elemental calcium intake is actually absorbed. However, women after menopause may only absorb 7%. Calcium from milk & milk products is absorbed at a higher percentage rate (45%) than calcium from supplements. Dietary calcium must be made soluble in the stomach & then pass to the small intestine where it combines with a calcium binding molecule so it can be absorbed (chelation). Calcium competes with zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper & iron for absorption in the intestine, & a high intake of one can reduce the absorption of the others.

Xooma's X2O, however, is already in ionic, biological form derived from pure Sango Coral. Therefore, it is a 100% ionic, bioavailable calcium & does not have to undergo the digestive, ionizing process to which the other calcium & some coral calcium supplements must be subjected.

Additional Notes:
The pH of the blood must remain between 7.35 & 7.45 for the body to remain healthy. According to Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., author of the "Textbook of Medical Physiology" which is used to train medical students, "at a blood pH of 7.2 & below the person will soon become exceptionally sick & soon die."

Interesting Fact:
The first documented medicinal use of coral is by the Arabs in the 16th Century. The oldest pharmacy in Spain was built in 1685 in Panaranda de Duero in northern Spain. This pharmacy, now part of a museum, displays a container of "ground up" coral with the inscription "Coral stone to purify the blood" & further states that the coral has a beneficial effect upon the heart & elevates the mood of the person taking it. Ancient cultures were aware that coral's more than 70 minerals & elements are key for the healthy to remain healthy & for the unhealthy to regain their health.
