The right diabetic reversal diet can save your life. It must be stated first that most diabetes diets do not work. These diets do not heal the root cause of the problem and often will not work. There is a diabetic reversal diet by a film maker that as been very successful the USA, England and Canada.

The diabetes crisis is now a worldwide problem where those who act fastest are saving their lives and those who wait are sadly losing their bodies to this disease. What most diabetic do not realize is that this illness is very similar to AIDS. Science has revealed that the diabetic has a poison in the bloodstream. It is the high poison glucose that destroys the cells of the body. Like AIDS this spreads and kills the body parts. The right diabetic reversal diet can save your life.

Diabetes is a serious problem; the poison glucose invades the body and many diabetics will have to have their legs cut off. The death of the legs is just the beginning as the illness spreads through out the whole body. Many will have the poison invade the eye vessels leading to blurry vision and if not corrected quickly blindness. (more…)

Ever wondered about how many more health risks there are nowadays than there were in the past? Well, the plain and simple truth is, there are. Today, particularly people from across the world grapple with various heath afflictions. From heart disease, Cancer, to fatal STDs; it just seems like there is no end to the dismal list. One of the greatest health issues these days concerns what we consume. Yeah that’s right, it’s our diet, folks! What are you shoveling into your temple? While it depends on your nutritional habits, you could be doing some major damage to your body. Now, tell me who doesn’t know that fats, and sugars are bad for us, however we continue to gulp them down like there’s no tomorrow. And it definitely shows in our current society. A huge portion of America is overweight. Wake up folks; it’s time to make some changes. It’s definitely time to get informed. The Internet is your ally. Explore into cyberspace right now and get information on cholesterol and fat. Find out more information about one of the prime killers of Americans. (more…)

Natural and Alternative medicine has been getting notoriety in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Tea is the most well-known as a potential remedy. Continuing research shows the effectiveness of green tea in the prevention of heart disease as well as other forms of cancer.

The first indication of tea effectiveness is in the markedly low incidence of major diseases in the Asian regions. Those who are living in Asia typically imbibe large quantities of green tea and statistics show that they have a significantly lower risk or heart ailments as well as cancer. Particularly Japanese men, as opposed to American men have statistically lower risk of lung cancer and heart ailments though as much as 75 percent of them smoke cigarettes. (more…)

Happened to catch the very last few minutes of a Discovery Health program this morning about monitoring anticoagulation. It is part of a CME series for physicians and other health-care providers. They can register, watch the clips, then take an online test and get credit.

Could not access the site at home because we have dial-up. Kept getting booted off. We are in Dallas today visiting my parents who have DSL, so I brought my laptop.

The program is wonderful! I highly recommend that each person here who is on warfarin watch it. The program is extremely supportive of home testing (FYI: Roche, which makes CoaguChek, is involved in this program, if my memory serves me right.). In fact, there are 2 home-testers interviewed for the program. (more…)

Does eating a high-fat diet, or a high saturated-fat diet, cause heart disease? I shall start by presenting all of the evidence in support of the dietheart hypothesis. This time I am actually not joking. Aside from Ancel Keys’s study – a study subject to accusations of selection bias – there is no evidence in support of the diet-heart hypothesis. I believe that the strongest backing for this somewhat bold statement comes from two different sources.

Firstly, the Surgeon General’s office in the USA. Secondly, from Professors Law and Wald, the high priests of heart-disease orthodoxy. Both of these sources were, and remain, utterly convinced of the diet-heart hypothesis. In 1988, the Surgeon General’s office decided to gather together all the evidence linking saturated fat to heart disease, and thus silence any remaining naysayers forever. (more…)

It has been recognized for many years that women, generally, suffer much less heart disease than men – especially younger women. The difference is normally about 300 per cent. This is despite the fact that women have higher average cholesterol levels. The widest gap I found was in New Zealand in the 1970s.

Here, women aged 45-55 had onetenth the mortality rate of men. Now that is what I call a gap. Women, therefore, present a problem for the cholesterol hypothesis. Higher cholesterol levels than men, but much lower rates of heart disease. Many findings for women were discrepant from those for men. Of particular importance in women was considered to be the essentially flat relation of total cholesterol to total mortality, total cardiovascular, and total cancer mortality. (more…)

The French, you see, eat more saturated fat than people do in the UK. They smoke more, take less exercise, have the same cholesterol/LDL levels, the same HDL levels. They also have the same average blood pressure and the same rate of obesity. And you know what? They have one quarter the rate of heart disease that we do. One-quarter!

In fact, the French consume more saturated fat than any other nation in Europe, and they have the lowest rate of heart disease. The only other nation that comes close to their super-low rate of heart disease is Switzerland, and the Swiss have the second highest consumption of saturated fat in Europe.I believe that I know what some of you are thinking right now. They, the French, are protected from heart disease by drinking red wine, eating freshly cooked vegetables (all those antioxidants, you see) and eating garlic. (more…)

A total lack of any supportive evidence does not necessarily prove that fat/saturated fat in the diet does not cause heart disease. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, let me now mention a few of the most powerful pieces of evidence that directly contradict the diet-heart hypothesis. But where to begin? There is just so much to choose from.

I think the best place to start is with the biggest trial on dietary modification ever done, and the biggest that will ever be done. Fifty million people were placed on a low saturated-fat diet for fourteen years. Sausages, eggs, cheese, bacon and milk were severely restricted. Fruit and fish, however, were freely available, those oh-so healthy foods. (more…)

Tobacco is considered to be the single most important cause of preventable deaths in the world & it is projected to be the leading cause of deaths by 2020, 1 in 8 deaths. Preventing & treating all this diseases, and controlling tobacco usage is one of the major challenges of public health today. The usage of tobacco is increased to such an extent that it has now been referred to as ‘Tobacco Epidemic’.

As far as India is considered, it is 4th largest consumer in world & 3rd largest producer after China & Brazil. There are about 250 million tobacco users in India, accounting for 19% of world’s total 1.3 billion tobacco users. Tobacco use is definitely a Killer for India when statistical data reveals that there are 800,000 deaths per year due to tobacco use & 700,000 of them are due to smoking alone. (more…)

When most people think about the prospect of a severe pandemic visiting their neck of the woods, it is the fear of becoming infected that scares them. In the case of a flu strain that kills as efficiently as the one that circled the world in 1918, the prospect is hardly a comforting one. In the case of blue collar workers it is believed that in some U.S. communities the mortality rate for those infected was as high as 10 percent. In more epidemiologically isolated communities, like the Inuit Eskimo tribes of Alaska, the mortality rate reached 90 percent and virtually wiped those communities off the map.

Less widely appreciated is that a pandemic need not even reach your door in order to be able to kill you or a family member. During a severe pandemic you could literally starve to death while never having come in close contact with the virus. This is just one of the conclusions I reached after reading which will have you rethinking just how much you really understand about your own place in the world. Because it turns out that we are a lot more delicately positioned than we like to believe. (more…)
