Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says

(CBS News) Modern wheat is a "perfect, chronic poison," according to Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who has published a book all about the world's most popular grain.

Davis said that the wheat we eat these days isn't the wheat your grandma had: "It's an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the '60s and '70s," he said on "CBS This Morning." "This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there's a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It's not gluten. I'm not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I'm talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year."

Asked if the farming industry could change back to the grain it formerly produced, Davis said it could, but it would not be economically feasible because it yields less per acre. However, Davis said a movement has begun with people turning away from wheat - and dropping substantial weight.
"If three people lost eight pounds, big deal," he said. "But we're seeing hundreds of thousands of people losing 30, 80, 150 pounds. Diabetics become no longer diabetic; people with arthritis having dramatic relief. People losing leg swelling, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and on and on every day."

To avoid these wheat-oriented products, Davis suggests eating "real food," such as avocados, olives, olive oil, meats, and vegetables. "(It's) the stuff that is least likely to have been changed by agribusiness," he said. "Certainly not grains. When I say grains, of course, over 90 percent of all grains we eat will be wheat, it's not barley... or flax. It's going to be wheat.
"It's really a wheat issue."

Some health resources, such as the Mayo Clinic, advocate a more balanced diet that does include wheat. But Davis said on "CTM" they're just offering a poor alternative.

"All that literature says is to replace something bad, white enriched products with something less bad, whole grains, and there's an apparent health benefit - 'Let's eat a whole bunch of less bad things.' So I take...unfiltered cigarettes and replace with Salem filtered cigarettes, you should smoke the Salems. That's the logic of nutrition, it's a deeply flawed logic. What if I take it to the next level, and we say, 'Let's eliminate all grains,' what happens then?

"That's when you see, not improvements in health, that's when you see transformations in health."

The Truth About Fats

by Dr. Isaac Eliaz

 

Of all the food groups, fat is the most commonly misunderstood. We’re taught to believe that our obesity problems and related health conditions come from eating too many fats. As a result, many people avoid any kind of oils or fats in their weight-management programs. However, the truth is that fats are crucial to numerous areas of health. They just have to be the right kind. Here’s how to know the difference.

 

Monounsaturated Fats (MUFAs)
Monounsaturated fats are generally liquid at room temperature and are found in many common oils such as flax, sesame, olive and sunflower at various ratios, along with polyunsaturated fats and saturated fats. Some studies suggest that consuming foods with MUFAs can support healthy cholesterol, balance insulin and control blood glucose.

Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs)
Polyunsaturated fats are found mostly in vegetable or grain oils as well as some fish oils. They demonstrate benefits similar to MUFAs; essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 fats fall into this category.

Essential fatty acids are critical for health; the body doesn’t produce them on its own. They’re obtained from foods such as flax seeds, chia seeds, fish oil and other sources. However, a balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 is critical for preventing chronic illness. Our modern diets are laden with omega-6 (abundant in many commercial vegetable oils) and deficient in omega-3s: a dangerous ratio that can lead to chronic inflammation, free radical, oxidative damage and related conditions. A good solution is to supplement with additional omega-3 oils to balance this ratio. Some nutritionists even recommend a completely balanced 1:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 to address inflammation, cardiovascular health and more.

Saturated Fats
Contrary to popular belief, moderate intake of saturated fats supports cellular integrity, cardiovascular health, immunity, vital energy and other critical areas of health. Found mainly in butter and animal fats, coconut oil, and some other tropical oils, saturated fats are more solid at room temperature. Importantly, they are good cooking oils, particularly clarified butter (called ghee in India) and coconut oil. These fats remain relatively stable at higher temperatures, which means they don’t easily become rancid during cooking. This is very important, because healthy fats can turn dangerous when rancid — the molecular structures of the oils change, wreaking havoc on cells and tissues with free radical damage.

The Dangers Of Trans Fats
The worst fats are trans fats and their newest relatives, “interesterified” fats. These industrial fats are created from a chemical process used in food manufacturing, designed to give oils and processed foods a longer shelf life. Trans fats should be avoided completely: They fuel inflammation, disrupt cell signaling and interfere with numerous critical functions. Furthermore, the body doesn’t recognize them and has a difficult time processing and eliminating them. As a result, these harmful substances build up and contribute to weight gain, unhealthy LDL cholesterol levels and arterial plaque. They are associated with diabetes, heart disease, immune dysfunction and other serious conditions.

How To Use Healthy Fats
Total healthy fat intake should be roughly 25 percent of your daily calories. Incorporate healthy oils such as raw olive oil or flax oil into your meals, as a salad dressing, added to soups or drizzled on cooked foods. Add chia seeds, which are some of the highest sources of omega-3s, and avocado to a morning fruit smoothie. Throw some raw walnuts in a bag to snack on throughout the day and incorporate more cold-water wild fish such as salmon into your diet. You can also look for supplements containing balanced ratios of essential fatty acids.

What About High Cholesterol?
In moderation, good fats can help reduce elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol, improve HDL (good) cholesterol and can help improve cardiovascular markers. Certain healthy fats, such as coconut oil, can actually help burn fat and promote a balanced weight. Furthermore, healthy fats help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, a critical component in promoting heart health and protecting against cardiovascular disease.

We evolved to eat fats. They provide us with critical nutrients and antioxidants, offer a critical source of energy and form the building blocks of cells, tissues and organs, especially the brain and nervous system. Healthy fats, such as olive oil, have been used therapeutically for millennia. In Eastern medical traditions, oils infused with therapeutic herbs and compounds play a very important role internally and externally, helping to restore health physically, mentally and emotionally.

Hyaluronic Acid: The All-Natural Filler

As we age, our skin loses its natural oils and becomes dry, rough and wrinkly. Thirsty and insatiable, older skin soaks up moisturizer only to scream, "more!" and remains wilted and unsatisfied even after you slather on the richest and most expensive of moisturizers. Why does your skin act like a desert in need of an oasis the older you are? Because it is low in hyaluronic acid.

Your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, which not only hydrates your skin, but also supports the structure of your skin cells.  Hyaluronic acid helps your skin cells retain enormous amounts of water.  Hyaluronic acid can absorb 1000 times its weight in water!   Water is more than just hydration, water plumps up the skin, increasing volume and elasticity.   Hyaluronic acid rejuvenates skin every 2 to 3 weeks; unfortunately, as you age, your levels of hyaluronic acid decrease dramatically and your skin cells lose their structure, which is why your skin begins to droop and sag. 

Although it's tempting to plump skin with fillers like collagen, you can achieve the same youthful plumpness naturally and at a fraction of the price by supplementing with a topical cream that contains hyaluronic acid. Unlike other professed moisturizing nutrients, hyaluronic acid actually penetrates deep into the skin cells, where it helps cells hold water and structure. And what is even better hyaluronic acid carries other anti-aging ingredients deep into the skin, where they would otherwise not reach.  Even more important, make sure not to use products that contain toxic chemicals.  Know your ingredients!

JES Organics Updates & Sales

In late August we started a make-over of our web-site which was launched last month.  We also did a make-over on some of our product labels and products.  We have added over 40 new products to our JES Organics line of products!   Please check out our new web-site and all the new products we have to offer.  We also have many products that would make great holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. 

 Keep reading for details about our upcoming holiday day sale!

 
Our skin care line has become our biggest seller so we have added products and customized products for various skin types.  We have some very effective new acne & anti-aging products and more choices of products for the various skin types.  We did have to make some price adjustments as our manufacturer had raised our prices over a year ago and we continued to absorb those higher costs for a long time.  We did however lower a few prices as well.  Shipping, packaging and manufacturing prices seem to continually go up as gas prices and cost of goods increase but we do our best to keep prices down.  One of the ways we do that is we don't invest huge amounts of money into elaborate packaging and advertising.  Our best advertising is word of mouth and we prefer to focus the money on what is in the ingredients inside the container.   After all, the fancy package isn't what improves your skin, it's the ingredients inside.  As humans we do tend to judge a book by the cover and our mission is to educate consumers to look inside (beyond the advertising hype and fancy packaging) and read the ingredients.  If you can't pronounce the ingredient name, oftentimes it isn't something you should be putting on your skin. 

If you need help in selecting the best products for your skin care needs and skin type, please don't hesitate to call us.   If you live in the Boise, Idaho area, call us about our new face lift massage treatments, biomeridian testing, infrared and the other services we offer!

We will be discontinuing some of our products as they sell out.  We are doing this for several reasons.  One reason is manufacturing costs are too high to make a particular item profitable.  The other reason is that in the past we have tried to please everybody and meet individual requests and have become too diverse.  We struggled with this decision because they are great products and we have customers that ask us for these specific items and we had brought them back after being discontinued before.  We won't be bringing them back again so shop now while limited supplies last. 

List of items to be discontinued when inventory is depleted:

1. Stress Balm Aromatherapy
2. Aromatherapy Therapeutic Bath Salts
3. Pet Products - Natural Organic Pet Shampoo
4. Natural Organic Household Cleaner
5. Natural Terra Cotta Lipstick
6. Natural Pretty in Pink Lipstick
7. Emu Oil & Emu Oil Pain Formula
8. Insect Deterrents
9. Natural Lotion Sticks
10. Our current line of 3 oz. USDA Certified Organic Soaps - some (not all) will be replaced with a new 5 oz. bar.  Some scents already sold out. 
11. Embroidered Shirts

We will be sending out an e-mail in the next few days - week about our upcoming holiday sale so check your e-mail.  We will also post a notice here so check back.  We will reduce prices for a short time on many JES Organics items in our store.  Even though we have a specials page on our web-site, there will be too many items on sale to list them all there so check each section and category for price reductions.  You might want to check the web-site now and make a list of the items you want and be prepared to jump on-line or call quickly as the sale will last just a matter of hours.  


208-629-0444

If you phone in your order, you will receive additional savings on JES Organics products. Percentages will be based on total amount spent so the more you buy, the higher the discounts will be. If you get our voicemail, please leave your name and phone number so we can call you back as phone lines will be jumping. Shop on-line and avoid all the hassle of shopping malls.

Natural Relief For Fibromyalgia Pain

Dr. Mark Wiley | Nov 28, 2012

Pain is the debilitating bane of our lives. It comes in all shapes and sizes and at various times and places. Sometimes, the reason for pain is identifiable; at other times, it is not so easily pinpointed. Statistics indicate 25 percent of all adult Americans suffer chronic pain, making it the leading reason people visit their primary care physician. The conventional medical establishment, unable to explain the precise reasons people feel pain in multiple places, coined the term fibromyalgia. With this term, it neatly categorized a whole spectrum of pain under the guise of a disease label. But there should be no mistake: Pain is no disease. It is a symptom of imbalance.

The problem with pain, especially chronic pain, is that it is debilitating and restrictive. Pain tires not only the body but also the mind and spirit. It deflates your mood, ruins sleep, derails work and blocks the experience of life’s joys. Too much pain causes people to take medications and pills to kill the throbbing, dull the aching, reduce the inflammation and loosen the spasm. These are fine for short-term relief; but over the long haul, they do more harm to the body than good. Natural solutions are best, and there are plenty.

Root Cause
Experts admit they don’t know the root cause of fibromyalgia. And since it is a term applied to non-specific chronic pain at different locations on the body, it is hard to pin down. Theories of links to viruses and infections, emotional disorders associated with decreased opioid receptor activity, and physical trauma are in abundance. Some posit fibromyalgia as the body’s reaction to stress or its abnormal response to it. And like classic migraine sufferers, those with fibromyalgia are sensitive to sounds, an indication of a possible abnormality in sensory processing by the central nervous system.
If we forget the label applied to this disorder for a moment and instead focus on its symptoms, we see pain, imbalanced nervous system, insomnia and a disquieted mind, leading to low mood. Chinese medicine and other natural wellness perspectives view these as symptoms of several imbalances, like sluggish blood flow, hyperactivity of the nerves and emotional trauma. If each of these symptoms is addressed naturally, then the overall symptoms and continuity of chronic pain decrease.

Pain Relief
Let’s look at ways to treat these problems:

Exercise: Yes, using exercise may seem counterintuitive. When you’re in pain, especially chronic musculoskeletal pain, it is difficult to even think about exercising. But there are exercises that are gentle, like slow walking, yoga, tai chi, qi gong and stretching. When dealing with body pain, moving the body is essential.

Movement helps maintain range of motion that shortens from lack of use. Those tight shoulders and hips that make you strain when retrieving the plate from the cabinet or getting into and out of the car feel a whole lot better if their range of motion is restored or normalized. Walking or waving the arms moves fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. It also makes you sweat, releasing toxins that otherwise stagnate and cause pain. And movement prevents connective tissue from adhering and “gluing” muscles together, like scar tissue.

Getting up and moving, even slowly and gently at first, should be the first step for decreasing pain and removing the symptoms of chronic pain and/or fibromyalgia.

Water aerobics are often especially useful. Research from Spain has shown that patients who engage in water aerobics are able to reduce fibromyalgia pain. The study consisted of 33 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia between the ages of 37 to 71. It found that water exercise “enhances the health-related quality of life in women with fibromyalgia.” Water aerobics is a form of low-impact exercise that should be considered a viable alternative to walking or yoga if these prove too painful at the start.

Meditation: The benefits of mediation have been documented in dozens of studies. Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure, which can help decrease pain. It relaxes the central nervous system, which helps decrease pain. It slows breathing and the thought process, which helps clear mental and emotional issues to help ease pain. And it relaxes the body to induce sleep. It is in deep sleep that the body relaxes and repairs, which is needed to reduce and prevent pain and inflammation.

Anti-inflammatory diet: Diet plays a major role in pain and fibromyalgia. It is important for those with chronic pain to avoid too much sugar, fats, trans fats, acidic foods, hydrogenated oils and dairy. In turn, it is best to increase foods high in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. These include fruits, vegetables (especially the green leafy variety) and whole grains (especially oats).

Supplements: There are several supplements that naturally help reduce inflammation and pain while elevating mood. These include:

• Omega-3 fats: that are high in the fatty acids DHA and EPA, which help reduce inflammation and acidity, thus reducing pain.
• Turmeric: contains curcumin (its active component); helps reduce inflammation and pain.
• Feverfew: reduces vasoconstriction to normalize blood flow and reduce pain, especially that associated with classic migraine.
• Arnica: topical cream that helps reduce pain and inflammation.
• St. John’s wort: has been shown to help with emotional disorders like depression (a cause and symptom of pain).
• Chamomile: helps relax the mind at night before bed, which can reduce stress-induced insomnia.
• Other Chinese and Indian herbal formulas for pain: These are best used under the guidance of a practitioner after a physical examination.

When all is considered, the methods to prevent and reduce chronic pain and fibromyalgia are basically identical. And we have the power to control this pain ourselves with our daily actions, habits and activities. Taking a proactive and focused role in your own pain management allows for natural reduction and prevention. Simple changes in diet, physical activity, sleep, meditation and supplements can go a long way to helping you overcome this debilitating issue.

Safe & Gentle Re-Useable Baby Wipes

I was thrilled to find this receipe on the internet as I use baby wipes all the time even though I don't have any babies!  Please read your labels, even baby wipes contain toxic chemicals and I have yet to discover one that doesn't.  This is also a money saver as they are re-useable. 

Ingredients:

• Old fabric to cut into wipes
• Scissors
• Small bag or basket for keeping fabric squares together
• Clean, empty spray bottle
• 1-2 teaspoons non-toxic liquid soap, such as JES Organics
• 1-2 cups water

Cut squares of fabric into 8-inch x 8-inch wipes. Keep them together in a small bag or basket near your diaper changing area. Next, add 1-2 teaspoons of liquid soap to the spray bottle, and fill the rest with water. Replace cap tightly on spray bottle and shake well to mix soap and water. When you need a baby wipe, pull out a piece of fabric, spray it with the mix, wipe, and wash it with your laundry when you’re done!

Magnets Destroyed More than Half of Cancer Cells

Did You Know...

...South Korean scientists have found a way to flip cancer's "Off" switch?

According to a startling and brand-new study by a team of scientists from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, magnets may be the secret to switching off cancer. The results of this first-of-its-kind study—about to be published in the journal Nature Materials—are so impressive that further investigation is already underway.

Apoptosis: The Key to Cancer's "Off Switch"

The main ways the body rids itself of old, faulty, or diseased cells is through something called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

Apoptosis is also what makes cancer cells so dangerous—or more specifically, the absence of apoptosis. That's because with cancer cells, apoptosis ceases to occur. Instead of dying their programmed deaths, cancer cells multiply uncontrollably.

For some time now, scientists have understood that through finding a way to artificially induce apoptosis, they would have the power to "turn off" cancer. And that's the reason the results of the Korean study are so incredibly promising.

"A Magnetic Death Switch" for Cancer Cells

Yonsei University's research team, led by Professor Jinwoo Cheon, tested iron nanoparticles against cancer cells. Iron nanoparticles naturally bind to "receptor" molecules on cancer cells. The results were remarkable.

     Cheon and his colleagues found that these nanoparticles allowed them to:

Control cell-signaling pathways
Prevent cells from malfunctioning
Trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death

It worked like this: When the team applied a magnetic field to cells treated with the nanoparticles, the particles clustered. That clustering effect set off the cell's "death receptor," which triggered apoptosis, the key to stopping cancer in its tracks.

Essentially, as one reporter put it, nanoparticles can be used as a "remote-controlled magnetic death switch to kill cancer cells."

Magnets Destroyed More than Half of Cancer Cells

Cheon's team also tested the nanoparticles in combination with magnets, with astounding success. In a series of lab experiments, the team placed nanoparticle-treated bowel cancer cells between two magnets. The cells were specially engineered to turn green as an indication that apoptopic clustering was occurring.

Cheon and the others noted that the magnets destroyed more than half the nanoparticle-treated cells. As a control, the team also placed untreated cells between the magnets, and found that absolutely none of those cells were affected.

Promising Results Outside of the Lab

The most exciting facet of the Yonsei University study is that the researchers were able to use the same process in living laboratory fish.

Prior studies on using the death receptor to fight cancer have focused only on in vitro systems, meaning cells in a petri dish. Because of the biological complexity of living animals, an in vivo approach—using live subjects—is much more complicated. Finding a way to do so, however, is essential to using the "death switch" concept in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

"Our study is one of the breakthroughs providing an effective way of cell function control in live vertebrates." — Professor Jeon-Soo Shin, Chemistry World

While the process needs refining, this study offers a revolutionary new approach to treating and curing cancer and other terminal illnesses. More trials are currently in the works.

Chi Machine Benefits

Cellular Activation: The massage therapy action from the chi machine stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, opening up the bronchioles to provide maximum oxygen access to your lungs. Simultaneously, the blood flow to and from them is increased. This enhances oxygen exchange from the lungs to the blood and then to your body cells. This will excite cellular metabolism. We all are aware of the importance of oxygen to our bodies. A lack of oxygen weakens our immune system. This may lead to viral infections, damaged cells, bacterial growths, inflamed joints, serious heart and circulatory problems, toxic buildup in blood, and premature aging.
 

Spinal Balancing:Your body is relaxed in a supine position allowing no weight on the spine. This unit can have a correcting influence in certain conditions of spinal misalignment.

Improving the Immune System: The Chi Maschine's movement stimulates globulin production which increases the immune system's defense capacity. This also increases the movement of the lymph fluid in the body. Increased lymph flow cleanses and removes harmful substances from our tissues and increases our immune function. The lymphatic system has no "pump" action of its own. It relies on muscle contraction through deep breathing, exercise, and manual manipulation to move its fluid around in the body. The Chi Machine effectively moves the body's fluids and aids the Lymphatic system, especially in those who are physically challenged or do not get sufficient exercise. Lymphatic massage can be useful in cases of edema, sports injury,for people experiencing a sluggish immune system, or who suffer from a general lack of energy.

Blood Production:Blood is produced in the spleen and spinal bone marrow. The Chi Machine's massage action on the spine stimulates the Sympathetic Nervous System which increases the spinal "marrow" blood production. Anyone who suffers from anemia may benefit from this massage action.

Restoration of Balance to the Autonomic Nervous System: If the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems fail to maintain a balanced function, problems such as insomnia, excessive dreaming, digestive problems, stomach pain, anxiety, constipation, palpitations, extensive forms of aches and pains as well as mental stress may surface. The Chi Machine influences the sympathetic nervous system so it can restore the vital balance it needs to function at its best.

Exercising Internal Organs and Building "Chi". "Chi" is a Chinese word referring to the life force or life energy. Chi increases the feeling of aliveness and well being. Chi is the permeating energy within the universe and it creates vitality: Western medical science is beginning to consider ancient eastern traditions. These eastern traditions emphasize healing and good health based on a life force energy, which flows in channels through all living forms. The Chi Machine aids in unblocking the "Chi" pathways and ensures a maximum flow of healing source throughout your body and organs. Dr. Nathan Lipton referred to this type of energy healing as Chiology.

Benefits of the BioMat:

• Reduces stress and fatigue
• Relieves anxiety and promotes relaxation

According to leading medical practitioners, scientists and psychologists, the human mind has the capacity to cause immediate, measurable and lasting physiological changes in the body.
New research shows that with visualization techniques, our mind can often accomplish what modern medicine, drugs and surgical techniques cannot.

Bio-Meridian Testing

Meridian Stress Assessment System (MSAS) testing measures the energy at the meridian points, which directs the practitioner to probable areas of imbalance. This technology is used in various health care practices around the world. It gives practitioners more information to consider, while trying to bring their client's energetic disturbances back into balance. Bio-Reportorization is designed to deliver long-term benefits to patients by quickly identifying areas of potential concern, and then focus on supporting core functional health. Patient symptoms, although important, provide only one piece of the data used to determine the optimal protocol for patients. Bio-Reportorization's strength lies in its ability to combine multiple sources of patient information to assist the practitioner in identifying the optimal protocol.

New Alternative Cancer Treatment

The BioMat uses quantum energy technology for health and wellness to help patients with a natural alternative cancer treatment option.

 

A portable and readily available health and wellness tool, the BioMat reduces stress and fatigue, improves sleep patterns, eases joint pain, reduces inflammation, eliminates toxins in the body and increases blood circulation. If that weren’t enough, the patented BioMat technology is now being used as an alternative cancer treatment.

Since many cancer patients struggle with fatigue, pain, inflammation, circulatory issues and other issues, the BioMat offers a new type of alternative cancer treatment that can help those facing cancer feel better from the inside out. Some doctors and alternative therapists have even reported people with breast cancer and prostate cancer being healed in as short as a few months using the properties of thermo-therapy treatments that can be achieved by using the BioMat.

What is the BioMat?

Like it sounds, the BioMat is a mat that uses quantum energy technology, combining far infrared rays, negative ion therapy and the superconducting properties of pure amethyst that work together to treat a wide variety of issues and ailments.
As a matter of fact, many doctors recommend the BioMat to their patients. Since the BioMat is a U.S. FDA 510k-registered medical device for pain management it has gone through rigorous testing and is ISO certified for quality.

The BioMat has been used for healing since its inception – its targeted infrared heat therapy increases delivery of oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and has helped people deal with everything from immune system issues to inflammation to muscle pain.

As an alternative treatment for cancer, the BioMat delivers thermotherapy, a new cancer treatment which helps increase blood flow and to weaken or kill off cancer cells, which become acidic and more susceptible to heat. Nobuhiro Yoshimizu, a doctor and former director of the Yokohama General Hospital in Japan, recently wrote a book called “The Fourth Treatment for Medical Refugees” which offers details on the effects of thermotherapy on cancer and promotes use of the BioMat as a new alternative cancer treatment.

Thermotherapy boosts immune function

Think about it: When you get sick, your body increases its internal temperature as a means of attacking the invading virus. Simply increasing the body’s temperature by one degree from the BioMat can increase your immune response by a whopping 40 percent, another reason the mat is a popular new option for cancer patients.

The BioMat also gives off negative ions, which are needed for balance in the body. When the body has too many positive ions, it can’t absorb nutrients or get rid of waste properly, increasing the chance of developing diseases including high blood pressure and cancer. The negative ions support waste removal and promote better immune function, one of the reasons the mat is used as an alternative treatment for cancer.

All in all, the BioMat provides a three-pronged approach to alternative cancer treatments:

1. Infrared rays that penetrate up to six to eight inches into the body, attacking cancer cells;
2. Negative ion therapy that boosts the immune system, purifies the blood, revitalizes cell metabolism and more; and
3. the healing powers of amethyst which can soothe the central nervous system. As a natural cancer treatment the BioMat offers a solution to help address this serious disease.

Many alternative therapists have used thermo-therapy and the BioMat as an alternative treatment for cancer as well as an option when radiation doesn’t work. The BioMat increases blood flow and circulation in the body and helps you sleep better at night (which helps with a variety of issues)

The BioMat is a readily available alternative cancer treatment

The BioMat product line includes the BioMat Professional, a 32” x 78” full-body mat as well as the BioMat Mini, a smaller 17” x 33” pad. You can use them in the convenience of your home.

Getting Arsenic out of Your (and Your Kids') Diet

By Sonya Lunder, EWG Senior Research Analyst and Dawn Undurraga, EWG Nutritionist

Although scientists and government regulators have long known about the ever-present threat of arsenic in our diet and water, it was unsettling when two major reports came out on the same day (Sept. 19) reminding us of the risk and the need to do what we can to minimize it.

 

Yes, arsenic. It's a naturally occurring mineral with a long history as a murder weapon, and, paradoxically, as a medicine, too. In some parts of the world, contamination levels are so high in food and water as to cause epidemics of skin, bladder and lung cancer. In the United States the effects might be harder to see, but they are still there. In 2001, the National Academy of Sciences estimated that people drinking arsenic-contaminated water at 10 parts per billion would have a 1-in-300 risk of developing cancer over their lifetimes. Recent research suggests that people ingest about that much arsenic in a just a half-cup serving of rice, not an unusual amount for millions of Americans.

The two new reports came from the US Food and Drug Administration and the highly regarded Consumer Reports magazine, and both focused on the worrisome amounts of arsenic in rice and popular rice-based processed foods.

 

Environmental Working Group agrees that there's reason to be concerned. Many rice-based foods and some fruit juices have arsenic levels much higher than are allowed in drinking water. And contrary to some denials from the food industry, the contamination does include the form of arsenic that poses a serious risk to our health. It's long overdue for federal agencies to set health-protective limits on arsenic in food, but they are not moving quickly.

In the meantime, here are some easy-to-use tips on how you can reduce your, and your family's, exposure:

• Limit rice consumption. Try alternative grains such as quinoa, barley, grits/polenta, couscous or bulgur wheat.

The testing done by Consumer Reports confirmed that rice has much higher concentrations of arsenic than other grains, fruits and vegetables. That's partly because rice is sometimes grown in fields that have been treated with arsenic-based pesticides in the past, but in many cases it's because rice plants have a natural tendency to take up and concentrate naturally occurring arsenic in the soil and water. The FDA says it needs to test 1,000 more rice samples to clarify which rice-growing areas present the greatest risk of contamination. But consumers can take protective steps while the FDA collects data and ponders regulation - a process that could take years.

• If you're preparing rice, rinse it thoroughly. Boil brown rice in a lot of water (as you do with pasta).

There's good research indicating that you can lower the amount of arsenic in rice by 30-to-40 percent if you take this simple step (the more water the better). Here's a recipe. Unfortunately, white rice doesn't hold up well to this kind of cooking, but you can reduce arsenic levels somewhat by rinsing white rice before you cook it.

• Vary your diet. Look for alternatives to rice-based processed foods such as breakfast cereals, rice flour, rice pasta, rice cakes and crackers.

Growing awareness that many people are sensitive to the gluten in wheat-based processed foods has led to a proliferation of rice-based products, but they're not the only option. Good alternatives to Rice Krispies-type breakfast cereals include toasted oats, puffed corn or whole grains such as millet. You can also find flour mixes that contain no rice or gluten for baking.

• Limit products that list rice syrup as a sweetener.

You don't think of rice as a component of snack and nutrition bars, but a recent study by scientists at Dartmouth College found high arsenic levels in processed foods sweetened with brown rice syrup, which are often aimed at the "natural" foods market. EWG has concerns about the study and its interpretation in the media, the underlying issue of brown rice syrup remains. Read labels to avoid this sweetener wherever possible.

• Check your drinking water.

Arsenic taints drinking water in many parts of the United States. Check EWG's Tap Water Database to see if it's been detected in your water. If you drink well water, contact your local health department to find out if arsenic could be a problem in your well, or get it tested - it's not expensive and it's worth the investment.

What parents can do to protect babies and children:

• Instead of rice cereal as the first solid food for babies, try orange vegetables such as sweet potatoes and squash, bananas and avocados.

Parents were once advised to start infants with fortified rice cereals, which were touted as non-allergenic and nutritive, but nutritional guidance is shifting. With some exceptions, parents are no longer being encouraged to delay introducing potentially allergenic foods. Soft fruits, vegetables or even meats are great first sources of complementary nutrients for a breast- or formula-fed baby.

• Switch to non-rice baby cereals such as oatmeal or mixed grains.

Powdered cereals are convenient and often used to thicken baby purees, but Consumer Reports found more than 95 parts per billion of arsenic in every brand of infant rice cereals it tested, nearly ten times the legal limit for drinking water. Look for non-rice whole grain or oat cereals, or make your own by blending oats in a food processor and then cooking them with water.

• Limit certain fruit juices to a maximum of one-half to one cup a day.

Arsenic-based pesticides were used on fruit orchards in the early 1900s, and soil contamination remains an ongoing source of arsenic in tree fruits and grapes. Testing shows that some samples of apple, grape and pear juices and juice blends have moderate amounts of arsenic. And there's another reason that pediatricians recommend limiting any and all juice in children's diets: They're high in sugar and can crowd out other foods that provide essential nutrients.

• Avoid brown rice syrup as a sweetener in processed kids' foods.

The arsenic in rice is concentrated in rice syrup, which is sometimes used as a sweetener in snack bars, non-dairy beverages and one brand of toddler formula. In previous testing, the one toddler formula made with rice syrup, Nature's Gate toddler formula, had high concentrations of arsenic in its dairy- and soy-based formulas. Consumer Reports noted that the company has recently found a source of rice syrup that is processed to remove arsenic for its dairy-based formula. (Look for use-by dates of January 2014 for Dairy with DHA & ARA, or July 2015 for Dairy.) Apparently the company has not yet addressed the issue of arsenic in its soy formula.

• Do not use rice milk as a dairy substitute for cow's milk.

Britain's Food Safety Authority cautions parents to avoid rice milk as a dairy alternative for toddlers from age 1 to 4½. Consumer Reports tested two common brands for arsenic and found that all samples exceeded EPA's drinking water limit of 10 parts per billion. The range in rice milk was 17 to 70 parts per billion.

 

Look for other non-dairy drinks and make sure they don't list rice syrup as a sweetener. In many cases, dairy-sensitive children can be given water and other dietary sources of calcium instead of a highly processed dairy substitute.

BioMat Offers New Lyme Disease Treatment

A Lyme disease home treatment, BioMat bolsters health and wellness.

Headaches, joint pain, fatigue, chills – it might sound like a bad case of the flu, but these signs can also all point to Lyme disease, a tick-borne debilitating condition that’s is only recently becoming more recognized. If you suffer from Lyme disease, you can now turn to the BioMat for a natural Lyme disease treatment at home.

A portable and readily available health and wellness tool, the BioMat can help you heal and feel better from the inside out, offering a unique treatment for Lyme disease and its symptoms. Importantly, some doctors and patients believe this Lyme disease natural treatment can completely clear the symptoms of this frustrating flu-like disease.

Lyme disease can affect the nervous system and muscles, leading to neck pain, numbness, depression, inflammation and much more. The BioMat, then, provides an alternative treatment for Lyme disease, addressing many of these issues in a safe and natural way, all in the convenience of your home.

What is the BioMat?

Like it sounds, the BioMat is a mat that uses quantum energy technology, combining far infrared rays, negative ion therapy and the superconducting properties of pure amethyst that work together to treat a wide variety of issues and ailments.

The BioMat has been used for healing since its inception – its targeted infrared heat therapy increases delivery of oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and has helped people deal with everything from immune system issues to inflammation to muscle pain.

As an alternative treatment for Lyme disease, the BioMat provides thermo-therapy, a heat-based Lyme disease home treatment that targets the cause of the disease, something called spirochetes, which are transmitted from ticks to humans and then replicate in the body, creating the host of painful Lyme disease symptoms.

BioMat offers Lyme disease treatment

The BioMat provides a unique type of thermo-therapy to the body. The heat that it delivers can target the spirochetes that cause Lyme disease symptoms and soothe sore joints and muscles.
In addition, the negative ions that the mat gives off can help to cleanse the body and promote immune function, which can assist with energy and overall function in people suffering from Lyme disease. Likewise, the infrared light therapy penetrates deeply into the body, reducing pain and allowing cells to absorb more oxygen and repair themselves faster. This is why the BioMat is a popular treatment for Lyme disease as well as other autoimmune conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain and more.
As a natural Lyme disease treatment and a Lyme disease home treatment, the BioMat can soothe, restore, replenish and renew – helping you feel more like your old self and possibly better.
If left untreated, Lyme disease can create a host of serious heart, central nervous system and joint issues, so immediate treatment is recommended. Consult your doctor about your treatment plan and considering asking about the BioMat as a treatment for Lyme disease.

In addition, because it is safe for all ages, you can use the BioMat as a Lyme disease treatment for children. Likewise, the BioMat is a U.S. FDA 510k-registered medical device for pain relief.
The BioMat has helped so many of my clients diagnosed with Lyme disease. Symptoms, such as, discomfort and body aches, foggy mentality, teeth and gum disorders, insomnia, and poor digestion are only a few problems the BioMat has created relief or resolution.

Lyme disease is associated with bacteria, which cause great damage to the central nervous system (CNS). The BioMat is the most power device, when healing and restoration to the nervous system is needed. Clients usually notice positive results overnight. Sleeping on the BioMat is very important. The constant exposure to light wave frequency and negative ions is where clients find comfort and healing.

High heats are imperative when assisting the body to rid itself of bacteria and infections. The body will naturally raise its core temperature, causing night sweats in an effort to kill off unwanted microorganisms, as a protective defense. This will aid in boosting the immune system as well. The BioMat assists your body with FIR heat to induce a natural fever.

The BioMat is a readily available alternative treatment for Lyme disease

The BioMat product line includes the BioMat Professional, a 32” x 78” full-body mat as well as the BioMat Mini, a smaller 17” x 33” pad. You can use the mats in the convenience of your home.

Household Hormonal Danger

Carl Lowe, September 11, 2012

An everyday chemical in many cosmetics, supplements, medicines, laundry soaps and air fresheners may be lowering your testosterone, disrupting your thyroid, making you vulnerable to diabetes and adding inches to your waistline. You can and should reduce your exposure to this chemical today before you become another one of its victims.

Research shows that a family of chemicals called phthalates is responsible for a whole host of health problems that besiege Americans. These chemicals are used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic products to keep them durable and flexible. They are also used in household products with synthetic fragrances like cosmetics, lotions and shampoos to help disperse their scents. Plus, phthalates called dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) are included as inactive ingredients in some medications and dietary supplements. They are used to slow absorption and make these pills and capsules “time release” their ingredients into the intestinal tract.

Reproduction Questions
A large body of research has indicated that exposure to phthalates is connected to the reduction of testosterone in men. Studies also show that these chemicals may be linked to extra inches around the waistline, insulin resistance and an increased risk for diabetes.

“Substantial declines in testosterone levels and sperm quality have been observed in the United States and other countries over the last several decades and it urgently requires explanation. While we can’t say yet that phthalates are a definite cause, I am certain they are on the list of chemicals that demands careful study,” notes researcher Richard Stahlhut, a preventive medicine resident at the University of Rochester.

In Stahlhut’s research, men who had the highest exposure to phthalates had more belly fat and insulin resistance than other men.

Studies on the effects of phthalates on women come up with similar results. When researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston looked at the phthalates in the urine of more than 2,300 women, they found that:

• Women with the highest levels of the chemicals mono-benzyl phthalate and mono-isobutyl phthalate had almost double the risk of diabetes compared to women with the lowest levels of those chemicals.
• Women with higher than median levels of the chemical mono-(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate experienced approximately a 60 percent increased risk of diabetes.
• Women with moderately high levels of the chemicals mono-n-butyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate suffered approximately a 70 percent increased risk of diabetes.

Thyroid Disruption
Phthalates also interfere with the vital functions of the thyroid. When researchers at the University of Michigan analyzed the blood and urine of more than 1,300 adults and 300 adolescents, they found that greater concentrations of urinary phthalate metabolites (as well as BPA, another chemical in plastics) were associated with greater impacts on serum thyroid measurements.

One study showed the strongest relationship between thyroid disruption and DEHP, a phthalate commonly used as a plasticizer. Other studies have shown that most of the DEHP we absorb is in the form of pollutants in our food. Urine samples showing the highest 20 percent of exposure to DEHP was associated with as much as a 10 percent decrease in certain thyroid hormones compared to urine samples at the lowest 20 percent of exposure.

Reduce Your Exposure To Phthalates
While you may not be able to avoid all exposure to phthalates, you can significantly reduce the presence of these chemicals in your personal environment:

• Avoid taking medications or supplements that list the ingredients dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP). These may also be ingredients in perfumes, nail polish, lotions, hair treatments, shampoo, deodorants and cologne.
• Watch out for BzBp (benzylbutyl phthalate), which may be an ingredient in cosmetics, flooring and other plastic products.
• Avoid insect repellents that list DMP (dimethyl phthalate) as an ingredient.
• Use unscented, hypoallergenic cosmetics and personal-care products. Any product that lists the words “fragrance” or “parfum” on the package may contain phthalates.
• Instead of a plastic shower curtain, use a cloth one made of cotton or another fabric that you can wash and reuse.
• Store refrigerated food in glass — not plastic.
• Don’t use plastic food containers in the microwave. The high temperatures may cause chemicals from the plastic to migrate to your food.
• Do not use air fresheners unless they incorporate pure essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances.
• Use unscented laundry soap.
• Other ingredients to avoid include: Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), and dimethyl phthalate (DMP).

Unfortunately, phthalates are part of the ocean of chemicals that surround us in daily life. And recent studies even link these chemicals to asthma. So if you want to breathe a little easier and lower your risk of many of the illnesses that modern flesh is heir to, avoid these toxins as much as you can.

The Astounding Health Benefits Of One Simple Action

One simple activity can exert a tremendous influence over your health, lowering your risk of Alzheimer’s, protecting your heart, defending against cancer, decreasing your risk of disability, controlling your weight and increasing your life expectancy. Scientific research proves the health-power of this activity, but most people don’t seem to understand how much it can improve their lives.
Medical researchers have been astonished by the health-promoting effects of simply walking every day. While most Americans seem addicted to a couch potato lifestyle, scientists have proven that a daily walk (or, even better, several walks a day) improves the health of just about every part of the body.

The benefits of walking go from head to toe.

Brain Protection
Research at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania shows that walking can slow the development of memory problems and even slow the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
“We found that walking five miles per week protects the brain structure over 10 years in people with Alzheimer’s and MCI (mild cognitive impairment), especially in areas of the brain’s key memory and learning centers,” says researcher Cyrus Raji, Ph.D. “We also found that these people had a slower decline in memory loss over five years.”

Raji’s study showed that physical activities like walking are associated with larger brain size. Cognitively impaired people needed to walk at least 58 city blocks, or approximately five miles, every week to prevent brain shrinkage volume and slow cognitive decline. People with normal brains needed to walk at least 72 city blocks, or six miles, per week to maintain brain volume and significantly reduce their risk for cognitive decline.

Heart Protection
An exercise like walking also supports the health of the cardiovascular system and keeps the heart and arteries functioning better.

In a study where doctors worked with overweight heart patients, they found that long walks were the perfect way to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health.

“The higher-caloric exercise, consisting of almost daily long-distance walking, resulted in double the weight loss and a greater fat mass loss than standard cardiac rehabilitation exercise,” says researcher Philip A. Ades, M.D., director of cardiac rehabilitation and prevention at the University of Vermont College of Medicine in Burlington. “And probably most importantly, these patients improved their insulin sensitivity to a greater degree.”

Weight Loss
If other people in your family are overweight, you may have inherited a tendency to gain weight. But that genetic inheritance doesn’t have to be your immutable destiny. A walking program can cut that genetic liability by 50 percent, according to a study at the Harvard School of Public Health. On the other hand, if you bury yourself in the couch all day, watching television and snacking, you’re just telling your obesity genes to pack on the pounds.

“While previous studies have looked at how physical activity affects genetic predispositions, this is the first study that directly looked at the effect of the sedentary behavior of television watching on the body mass index (BMI) of individuals with a genetic predisposition to obesity,” says Qibin Qi, Ph.D., study author and a postdoctorate research fellow in the department of nutrition at Harvard.
“In our study, a brisk one-hour daily walk reduced the genetic influence towards obesity, measured by differences in BMI, by half. On the other hand, a sedentary lifestyle marked by watching television four hours a day increased the genetic influence by 50 percent.”

Walking Toward Health
A wide range of research on walking has established other impressive benefits:

• A study at Vanderbilt University shows that walking can reduce a woman’s risk for endometrial cancer by as much as 40 percent. “This adds to the growing body of literature indicating that high levels of physical activity are associated with reduced risk of some cancers, including endometrial cancer,” says lead author Charles E. Matthews, Ph.D.
• Older adults can decrease their risk of disability and increase their likelihood of maintaining independence by 41 percent when they walk regularly, according to research at the University of Georgia.
• Brisk walking can lower the risk of cancer progression in men diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a study at the University of California, San Francisco and the Harvard School of Public Health. “The important point was the intensity of the activity — the walking had to be brisk for men to experience a benefit,” says Erin Richman, Sc.D., the first author on the study. “Our results provide men with prostate cancer something they can do to improve their prognosis.”

One Foot In Front Of The Other
The human body needs to walk and exercise every day to stay healthy. In contrast, the couch potato lifestyle kills. As one scientist who has researched the benefits of walking puts it, you should “walk often and walk far.”

You’ll be glad you did.
