DEODORANT OR ANTIPERSPIRANT?

Have you noticed how difficult it has become to find a deodorant on the shelves whether in the pharmacy or supermarket or wherever it is that you normally purchase these products? The products you will mostly find are all called ‘antiperspirants’. You might want to believe that they are one and the same however they are not. Deodorants act to neutralize the body odour that comes from sweating, while antiperspirants on the other hand prevent the body from sweating by using aluminium to block the pores. Many antiperspirants these days also have a deodorant component as they will also try to mask the odour. The only deodorants that you will find these days are the natural ones found in health food or natural vitamins stores! Why do you think this is so? I only discovered this in recent years since I have become such a fan of these stores! Well thank God because for years I have been searching and wondering what became of deodorants! I never did like the idea of antiperspirants blocking or clogging my pores and rendering my natural body function inactive, I simply had a feeling that something is not right about this.

So having discovered that it is mainly the natural stores that carry deodorants these days, it led me to believe that it might not just be the fact that antiperspirants block your sweat glands but that there is something in the ingredients of antiperspirants that might not be good for the body. I therefore decided to check this out. So in my ongoing quest to open your eyes to things that we are unconsciously exposing our bodies to that might be harmful to us I have decided to share my findings.

As mentioned before, all antiperspirants contain aluminium and some of them also contain a substance known as paraben which are preservatives used in some deodorants and antiperspirants that have been shown to mimic the activity of estrogen in the body’s cells. Parabens are usually easy to identify by name, such as methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, or benzylparaben [so go check your antiperspirant ingredients and see]. If what you are using has in any ingredient that ends with ‘paraben’ then throw it out immediately!

For a number of years now there have been links of antiperspirants to breast cancer. This was taken directly from the National Cancer Institute website: “Some research suggests that aluminum-based compounds, which are applied frequently and left on the skin near the breast, may be absorbed by the skin and cause estrogen-like (hormonal) effects. Because estrogen has the ability to promote the growth of breast cancer cells, some scientists have suggested that the aluminum-based compounds in antiperspirants may contribute to the development of breast cancer”. What is interesting however is that notwithstanding these observations, both deodorants and antiperspirants are considered to be safe by the same National cancer Institute, the FDA, the American Cancer Society, and the Mayo Clinic!  The National Cancer Institute’s website also confirms that of a total of 20 samples that were taken from women with breast cancer, 18 out of 20 were found to contain high levels of paraben!  You can be the judge as to whether this is conclusive enough to still be considered safe!

Other studies have found that the artificial compound Aluminium is shown to cause genetic damage. Aluminium Zirconium Trichlorohydrex is in fact classified as a toxic chemical by the Environmental Working Group Skin Deep Database, because it has been found that it damages the human nervous system.

Aluminium is often used in a lot of items such as cooking utensils, containers, appliances and building materials.  It is also used in paints and to manufacture glassware, rubber and ceramics. When it comes on to consumer products, it can be found in astringents, antacids, food additives and of course antiperspirants. Aluminium is also used in water purification and so ti can therefore be in your drinking water. We therefore inhale aluminium by breathing and we ingest aluminium through our food and water, however aluminium is very poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract because roughly only 0.1% of what occurs in our diet is absorbed. Studies have shown however that a very high level of exposure to aluminium can affect the lungs and can cause neurological damage. What I am focusing on right now however is absorption through the skin (through the use of antiperspirants). Studies have found that the absorption of aluminium through the skin causes a greater burden on the body than oral ingestion. A study that was done in 2001 found that aluminium was still present in blood samples for up to 15 days after one application of aluminium to the armpit!! It is therefore well proven that applying aluminium to the skin is a very effective way to get aluminium into your system and conclusively into your brain. Aluminium has been recognized as a human neurotoxin from back in 1886 (this was before it was adopted for use in antiperspirants). A neurotoxin is a substance that causes damages to nerves or nerve tissues. You can be the judge of this, how many persons do you know out there that are now suffering from some form of autoimmune illness (such as Lupus, MS (Multiple Sclerosis); ALS (Lou Gherig’s Disease) to name a few?  If you know 5 more than you knew 5 years ago then it tells you the rate of growth!

Be Blessed and keep healthy!

THOSE MERCURY FILLINGS IN YOUR MOUTH!

Although they are called ‘silver fillings’ they are actually made up of 50% Mercury, 35% Silver, 13% tin, 2% copper and a tiny bit of zinc. Now I have been trying to find out why it is that mercury, which is one of the most toxic of heavy metals, is used to put fillings in people’s mouth when scrap dental amalgam (silver fillings) is classified as a hazardous waste by the American Environmental Protection Agency, and by law must be stored in unbreakable, sealed containers, and handled without touching! If it is unsafe when it is taken out of your mouth then how on earth is it that it is safe when it was in your mouth? Beats me for sure!

Mercury is a known poison that can penetrate every living cell of the human body! It is more toxic than arsenic, lead and cadmium, and there is no minimum amount that you can absorb, that will not do damage to cells in the human body! Those amalgams have been banned by Sweden since 1997 after a study revealed that at least 250,000 Swedes have immune and other health disorders directly related to the mercury in their teeth! Denmark, Austria and Germany have also now banned these fillings, however by contrast the American and Canadian Dental Associations are still insisting up to today that these fillings are safe to be placed in your mouth! (check their websites and you will be shocked at what you see!)  The only conclusion to be drawn from this is that because North America has such a high litigious culture they are afraid to come out and confirm that these silver fillings are harmful because there would be an overwhelming number of lawsuits against these dentists! So what I believe they are doing is giving the dentists time to put the necessary clauses in their fine prints and have us sign away our rights to sue them if anything happens! In the meanwhile they are quietly turning to the resin (white) fillings.

Mercury has been linked to Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimers, Lupus and other neurological disorders. People have been known to have significantly reduced symptoms from these illnesses after removing their amalgam fillings. Check out the LA Times article dated May 5, 2011 which I have placed on the ‘in the news’ page.

This is an excerpt from an article written by Charles More in the Natural Life Magazine (February 1997):

 http://www.naturallifemagazine.com/9702/mercury.htm

“It is well-established that elemental mercury vapour emits from amalgam tooth fillings during chewing, brushing, and eating hot and/or acidic foods. Most of this vapour is inhaled, allowing efficient absorption across the alveolar membrane in the lungs. Mercury easily crosses the blood/brain barrier – the brain and nervous system's main natural defense against many toxic substances. It can bind strongly to sulfur-containing proteins in nerve tissue (which may explain the association with MS – a disease of the nerve sheaths), and deposits in virtually all body tissues and organs. In experiments on mercury fillings in sheep, Dr. Murray Vimy, a dentist at the University of Calgary, proved that mercury migrates from the teeth into nearly all body tissues, especially the brain, kidneys, and liver.”

My suggestion to you therefore is to get rid of those silver fillings from your mouth if you still have any, however do not remove them all at once and make sure that you go to a Bio-Dentist as they are the ones who know how to remove them without causing mercury leakage into your system. If after you have been to the dentist you feel lethargic and find it difficult to concentrate then it is a very strong possibility that you are suffering from mercury poisoning! Visit a good naturopath to get some help and start taking chlorella to help cleanse your body of the toxin.  Dr Vimy had concluded that there is some risk that mass replacements could expose the patient to more mercury than if old fillings were left alone. So proceed with caution…but proceed you should!

Be blessed and stay healthy!

THOSE ALTERNATIVE CANCER CURES!

This might sound very strange to you but for the past couple of years I have not given one cent donation to cancer research and I refuse to do so and I  make no apologies for that. Why you might ask? Simply because the money is not being used to do cancer research with the aim of developing cures. If this was so then we would have a whole lot of treatments for cancer out there and they would not be known as ‘Alternative Cancer treatments’.  There are hundreds of natural cures for cancer out there and the big drug companies all know about these cures however because they are from natural products that cannot be patented they refuse to spend money developing these products as the returns would not allow them to make large enough profits. So instead they continue to push these orthodox chemotherapy and radiation treatments, (which have nothing more than a 1-3% success rate) simply because that is where all the profit lies!

So what about all these alternative (natural) cancer cures that have been blowing through our emails in recent years? Each of them will have to be assessed individually because not all alternative cancer treatments are equally strong (especially if the cancer patient has been undergoing traditional chemo or radiation treatment), however, from various research that have been done, one can categorically conclude that most of those you have heard about are true if even to some extent. For people who are newly diagnosed, the success rate can be over 90% if the patient works with an expert who knows what he or she is doing. For alternative medicine experts, the cure rate for advanced cancer patients, who have had significant chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, is about 50%.

The diet of the cancer patient is extremely important. Many people have cured their cancer by using nothing more than a massive change in their diet! Likewise a bad diet during a cancer treatment has destroyed many alternative cancer treatments! For eg something as simple as adding refined salt and refined sugar to your diet is enough to destroy an entire cancer treatment!!! So if you are diagnosed with cancer the very first thing to give attention to is your diet.

The following was taken from the Cancer Tutor website: http://www.cancertutor.com/Articles/14Questions.pdf

“Every human being has cancer cells in their body!! However, our bodies were designed to have a very, very sophisticated immune system which, among other things, was designed to safely target and kill cancer cells. When a person is "diagnosed" with cancer it means there is an imbalance in their body between the strength of their immune system and the number of cancer cells in their body. In other words, something has damaged their immune system and/or something has caused a high number of cancer cells to form. The result of this imbalance is an abnormally high number of cancer cells which thrive in their body. The number of cancer cells may grow out of control and eventually the person may be diagnosed with cancer.

The approach of many alternative or natural health practitioners is four-fold:

First, change the diet and lifestyle of the person to change their "inner terrain" to make the body hostile to cancer cells (e.g. change to an alkaline diet),

Second, strengthen the immune system with very gentle electromedicine and/or natural nutrients,

Third, use very gentle treatments that safely target and kill the cancer cells or revert the cancer cells into normal cells,

Fourth, use supplements to protect and energize the non-cancerous cells

damaged by orthodox treatments.

As to the third item, if you kill all of the microbes which are inside of a cancer cell it will be able to restore its metabolism, start creating ATP molecules again (without using fermentation) and will revert into a normal cell. Dr. Royal Rife knew this in the 1930s but his discoveries have been ignored by orthodox medicine. By doing all four of the above things the cancer patient has the balance between their immune system and the number of cancer cells restored without damaging the body. They are cured because the balance has been restored back to normal!!

The approach of orthodox medicine, however, severely damages the immune system with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. This makes the imbalance even worse. Orthodox cancer treatments also kill many healthy cells and can damage organs and the lining of the stomach and colon; which can make it difficult for the patient to extract nutrients from healthy foods and supplements.  One of the reasons alternative medicine cancer researchers are so interested in developing electromedicine protocols is because so many cancer patients have damage to the lining of their stomach and colon (due to chemotherapy or surgery). Electromedicine becomes their only hope for survival because these things work without the ability of the stomach and colon to digest nutrients from foods.

Is it any wonder that alternative cancer treatments, when used on newly diagnosed cancer patients and when administered by experts, have a massively higher cure rate than orthodox medicine? Alternative cancer treatments build-up the person's body (especially the immune system) and gently deals with getting rid of the cancer cells. However, even when orthodox medicine puts someone into "remission" (i.e. their cancer appears to be gone), their treatments have damaged the immune system so badly that they have made the imbalance even worse, so even if orthodox medicine claims they have put someone into remission, it is almost certain the cancer will come back!! This is called: regression.”

Natural Cures

Some natural cures that have had significant success rate even with very advanced cancer patients are (and these are only to name a few!):

• Mangosteen – rind of the fruit
• Guyabano (Soursop) – bark and leaves
• Essiac Tea
• Lemon (one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers)
• Ginger
• Asparagus

My bet would be on one of these 50 times over the chemo or the radiation or surgery!!

Be blessed and stay healthy!

THOSE B-VITAMINS!!!

Recently I seemed to have strained one of my hip joint (don’t ask me how) and I started to experience some mild discomforting pain, which I ignored for a while as it seemed to appear and disappear at times. Anyhow I had mentioned it to my husband’s Aunt who is a nurse and she suggested that I start taking some B-50 Complex vitamins as that should help. Well I recalled that my Naturopath had also recommended that I take the B-Complex and I had actually bought a bottle of B-50 and had been taking it for a while but had stopped. I therefore started to take them again and the pain went within a day or 2.  So the bottle finished after about 2 weeks and I felt all was well (as the pains had completely disappeared by then) so I just said ok I would pick up another bottle at some time in the future. Well within a week the hip pains returned!! It started off mild at first and so I made a couple of days pass and then I went and got myself a b-12 supplement, but realized there was hardly any relief! So the pains got furiously worse (to the extent that I had to seek my husband’s assistance to put on my stockings for work! By the way, helpful and supportive though he was, I discovered that men are no good with stockings!!). Anyhow I therefore immediately went back and got a bottle of B-75 Complex quickly and resumed taking them, and believe it or not, within 2 days I got complete relief! Within a day I went from being almost unable to go up or down the stairs to start running up and down! I found this truly amazing! The difference was like night and day and so it is because of this I decided to research those B Vitamins. In particular I wanted to know which one of them was responsible for the relief of my joint pain. I found some interesting facts which I would like to share with you.

Firstly, I had no idea that there were so many B-Vitamins! As much as 8 of them! And the recommendations are that they are most effective if taken together (hence the B-Complex).

These B-Vitamins are very helpful in preventing cancer; they are essential to treating depression, as well as the nervous system and so much more! They cannot be stored in our bodies, so we depend entirely on our daily diet to supply them. B vitamins are destroyed by alcohol, refined sugars, nicotine, and caffeine, so it is no surprise that many people may be deficient in these. My recommendation therefore is that if you have not yet started to take a B-Complex supplement then you should definitely start soon!

I have taken the following directly from the American Cancer Society’s web page on B-Vitamins: http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/HerbsVitaminsandMinerals/vitamin-b-complex

How is it promoted for use?

Scientists know that B vitamins are part of many important bodily functions:

• Vitamin B1 (thiamin) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) help the body produce energy and affect enzymes that influence the muscles, nerves, and heart.
• Vitamin B3 (niacin) has a role in energy production in cells and helps keep the skin, nervous system, and digestive system healthy.
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) influences normal growth and development.
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps the body break down protein and helps maintain the health of red blood cells, the nervous system, and parts of the immune system.
• Vitamin B7 (biotin) helps break down protein and carbohydrates and helps the body make hormones.
• Vitamin B9 (folic acid) helps the cells in the body make and maintain DNA and is important in the production of red blood cells.
• Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) plays a role in the body's growth and development. It also has a part in producing blood cells, nervous system function, and how the body uses folic acid and carbohydrates.

Deficiency of certain B vitamins can cause anemia, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, depression, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, muscle cramps, respiratory infections, hair loss, eczema, poor growth in children, and birth defects.

Some alternative medical practitioners claim that deficiencies in B vitamins weaken the immune system and make the body vulnerable to cancer. They recommend high doses of B vitamins as treatments for people with cancer. Many researchers are studying the relationships between vitamin intake and risk of developing certain cancers.

What does it involve?

Nutritionists maintain that a balanced diet that includes 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables, as well as grains, gives most people with all the B vitamins they need. Only small amounts of these vitamins are needed to reach the recommended dietary intakes. But many people do not eat enough fruits, vegetables, or other healthy foods to get the recommended amounts. The National Academies of Science (NAS) recommends that adults over the age of 50 take B vitamin supplements, or eat foods enriched with these vitamins, in order to prevent deficiency, which is common in this age group.

Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need more folic acid than others. The Public Health Service recommends that women of childbearing age who can become pregnant should consume at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily through dietary supplements and fortified foods, in addition to a diet containing folate-rich foods, to help prevent certain birth defects in their children.

Food sources of B vitamins:

• B1 and B2 are found in cereals and whole grains. B1 is also found in potatoes, pork, seafood, liver, and kidney beans. B2 is found in enriched bread, dairy products, liver, and green leafy vegetables.
• B3 is found in liver, fish, chicken, lean red meat, nuts, whole grains, and dried beans.
• B5 is found in almost all foods.
• B6 is found in fish, liver, pork, chicken, potatoes, wheat germ, bananas, and dried beans.
• B7 is made by intestinal bacteria and is also in peanuts, liver, egg yolks, bananas, mushrooms, watermelon, and grapefruit.
• B9 is in green leafy vegetables, liver, citrus fruits, mushrooms, nuts, peas, dried beans, and wheat bread.
• B12 is found in eggs, meat, poultry, shellfish, milk, and milk products.

Supplements that contain several B vitamins, usually in combination with other nutrients, are sold in grocery stores, health food stores, and over the Internet in pill form. Dosages vary by manufacturer.

 American Medical Association

"Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic diseases...Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone.   Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."

Be blessed and stay healthy!

CANCER CAUSING HORMONES IN MEAT

How many of you are aware that American and Canadian Beef has been banned from Europe for over a decade now? Why is this? Because the growth hormones that they are using in North American beef is harmful and dangerous! One of them is a complete carcinogen - estradiol (i.e. it  exerts both tumour  initiating and tumour promoting effects!). Even though the European Commission placed a ban on the meats, the health authorities in North America have to this day refuse to stop using these hormones on the basis that the levels being used are not enough to put the consumers at risk! They do this despite the common scientific consensus that there is no way of setting safe levels for carcinogens. Well I don’t know about you but as far as I am concerned, I do not want to be consuming these hormones at any level whatsoever! Now is there any wonder why since 1950 there has been a 55% increase in breast cancer; 120% increase in Testicular Cancer and 190% increase in Prostate cancer? [See Los Angeles Times March 24 1997 article in the News link page]

Now you might ask why are they doing this? Well the simple answer is money! Pure and simple math! These growth hormones will get the livestock to the slaughter house much faster than if they wait until Mother Nature pursues her normal growth phase. The farmers who use these hormones gain at least $80 per cow, hence the reason they are unwilling to stop this using these growth hormones.
I grew up in the country and I can distinctly recall that when my parents used to raise chickens for sale, these chicks took at least 6 to 8 weeks to grow before they were ready to be plucked. Well today these same chicks are being grown to maturity within 2 weeks all due to the use of these hormones.  (Do you notice the excessive slabs of fat that you see underneath the skin of the chickens you purchase in the supermarket?). It is my understanding that some of these poor chickens are unable to withstand such a fast growth rate and so their tiny hearts explode and they die before time! 

Apart from cancer, there are other harmful consequences of consuming meat that has these hormones such as shrinking of testicles, damage to liver, early onset of puberty, sterility, fibroids in women, feminizing of boys and the list goes on.

The best thing to do is to purchase only those meats that have a clear indication that they are hormone free (note that ‘grain fed’ does not necessarily mean ‘hormone free’). Make sure that the label says ‘hormone free’. It will cost you a couple of dollars more, but isn’t your life and your health worth more than the couple of extra dollars? You decide.

Another issue that is worthy of note is that Processed Meat also promotes cancer. Processed Meats contain Sodium Nitrate, which is a cancer-causing chemical additive that meat companies use as a color fixer to turn their meat products a bright red "fresh-looking" colour.  Stay away from it as much as you can and don’t feed your kids on it! These are items such as bacon, sausage, beef jerky, pepperoni, deli slices, sandwich meats etc. Just remember Processed meats = Sodium Nitrate = Cancer!

Stay blessed and stay healthy!

TOXINS AND HOW THEY ARE DESTROYING YOUR HEALTH

“Most of the diseases of aging – vascular, most cancers, arthritis and others – have been shown to be associated with toxic metals and persistent organic pollutants. Vascular diseases, stroke, heart attack plus most of the cancers and macular degeneration have been directly linked to lead. And that’s just lead!” Robert Nash M.D

What are toxins and where do they come from?

Toxins are simply any material or compound that is foreign to the human body which has an undesirable negative effect on it. They can originate from various sources such as industry, burning, waste processing, manufacturing etc. Most toxins are synthetic (man made) compounds that are found around the average household that somehow find their way in our food, our drinking water, the air we breathe and in our soil. Toxins are more prevalent now in this industrial age than before and they are becoming even more prevalent with the increases in technology and industrialization. This prevalence is being discovered more and more to have lead to a toxic state of the average human body which results in the onset of a myriad of diseases! It is not coincidence that you know more persons dying from cancer and other degenerative diseases than your parents did! Thankfully, science is now discovering the relationship between persistent exposure to toxins and the human body’s systems with the resulting health conditions that occur because of the dysfunction of these systems.

Some common toxins:

[adapted from soundconcepts: www.healthyagingtools.com]

PCBs: Industrial insulators and lubricants. Banned in the US in 1976. Persist for decades in the environment. Accumulate up the food chain to man. Cause cancer and nervous system problems.

DIOXINS: Pollutants, by-products of PVC production, industrial bleaching and incineration. Persist for decades in the environment. Very toxic to developing endocrine (hormone) system.

FURANS: by-products of Plastics production, industrial bleaching and incineration.  Expected to cause cancer in man. Persist for decades in the environment. Very toxic to developing endocrine (hormone) system.

METALS: Lead, Mercury, Arsenic and Cadium. Cause lowered IQ, developmental delays, behavioural disorders and cancer (at doses found in the environment).

PHTHALATES: Plasticizers, cause birth defects of male reproductive organs. Found in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products as well as children’s toys. Some phthalates recently banned in Europe.

VOLATILE/SEMI-VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICALS: Industrial solvents and gasoline ingredients like xylene and ethyl benzene. Toxic to nervous system, some heavily used SCOCs (benzene) cause cancer.

ORGANOCHLORINE INSECTICIDES: DDT, Chlordane and other pesticides. Largely banned in the US. Accumulate up the food chain to man. Cause cancer and numerous reproductive effects.

ORGANOPHOSPHATE INSECTICIDE METABOLITES: Potent nervous system toxicants. Most common source of exposure is residues in food. Recently banned for indoor uses.

“Toxicology textbooks list the first symptoms of chronic poisoning as low energy, fatigue, muscle weakness, inability to concentrate and intestinal complaints.” Jeffery Bland Ph.D., The 20 Day Rejuvenation Diet Program

How to Detoxify:

 

First of all you should lighten up your toxic load by eliminating alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, saturated fat, refined sugar as they all act as toxins to your body and are obstacles to your healing process (did you know that 1 teaspoonful of sugar compromises your immune system for up to 4 hours? I was shocked when my Naturepath told me this recently!) You should also eliminate the use of chemical based household cleaning products and personal care products and substitute with natural alternatives as soon as you can. You should also make every effort to eliminate stress from your life as it triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system.  The stress hormones can (in large amounts) create toxins which slows down the detoxification enzymes in the liver. So in detoxifying, you should also include a process of detoxing stressful situations from your life (detoxifying your soul). You can do this by developing a meditative relationship with your creator and draw on the inner peace which comes from that.

There are many methods that are in use these days to detoxify the body. Here are the most common ones [http://www.homemadebodycleanse.com/

]:

• Colon cleansing: colon is the sewer system of the body and if this gets choked then you can imagine the problems that occur if the sewer of the street is choked. The choking of colon can lead to constipation and production of poisonous gasses which in turn is harmful for the body. The cleaning of this part of the body is really easy. The doctor will insert a pipe inside your body and then a flow of warm water is thrown into the body. This cleans the colon and it might take 4-5 sittings with the doctor.
• Ion footbath detoxification: this is the most relaxing way to get rid of the toxins present in the body. You just have to sit on the chair, with your feet dipped into the water container. A flow of warm water will flow under your feet and the positive and negative ions in the water will attach themselves to the toxins present in the body. Toxins that are insoluble will also dissolve in this water.
• Herbal way to clean your body is the best way for inner body cleaning. Not only this is cheap but also improves your eating habits. There are herbal products also available in the market. The other advantage of this method is that it does not have any side effects and hence is safe.

The herbal supplements that are most effective are ones containing Zeolites; Chlorophyll; Spurilina; Wheat Grass. A juice fast is also quite effective. A simple effective home remedy for detoxifying is warm water with lemon juice.

“In my opinion, based on the evidence, every single chronic insidious disease process is related to one word – toxicity. You cannot address the issues of aging unless you address detoxification.” Rashid O. Buttar, D.O.

THE SOY STORY….

To say that Soy has been a nutritional star in the health food world is almost an understatement! Soy is now in almost everything we eat and drink and what is even more important is that we are feeding it to our kids! Vegetarians eat it in every way and form as it is used to replace protein. So what really is the Soy story?

The results of my search have been quite alarming and not many people will want to hear this, however, I feel compelled to share what my findings are. In summary, Soy can adversely affect your health:

1. Soy is cross reactive with wheat and can set off a range of inflammatory conditions in your system! It has potent allergen properties.
2. Soy is also packed with estrogen and since this is believed to be a link to breast cancer in women then women should seriously contemplate whether they want to be drinking soy milk or eating tofu on a daily basis! If you have ancestors and other family members who have had cancer then you should definitely be staying away from soy. Also, is there any wonder why so many little boys these days are thinking they should be girls and then grow up in sexual confusion?
3. Soy can compromise the thyroid function and lead to a condition called hypothyroidism (do you notice how many persons have been suffering from this lately?)
4. Soy can block the absorption of protein and interfere with the function of the pancreas ( do you also notice how pancreatic cancer has been on the rise?)
5. Soy can block the absorption of key minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron (which is the main reason why people with cancer cells will deteriorate rapidly if they are feeding their body with soy!)

Below I have attached the transcript of 2 interviews done by Raena Morgan [host of iHealthTube] you can go on the link provided in my sources below and watch the actual videos of the interviews, however I believe things have a better impact when we read it in black and white…so I suggest you read the transcripts first.

Description

In this health video you will learn the truth about soy.

Transcript

Raena Morgan: Hi, I’m Raena Morgan with iHealthTube, visiting with Dr. Sherrill Sellman.We’re talking about good nutrition. And Dr. Sellman—soy—it’s been a nutritional star in the health food world, but there’s been some controversy about it lately. Could you discuss that with us?

Dr. Sherrill Sellman: I’d love to. You know, soy has been promoted, has been marketed to be a nutritional star. We’ve heard so much about it. It took about 50 years to convince the American public that soy should be eaten. But there’s another side to soy that we really need to understand. I used to eat a lot of soy as a vegetarian, which I am no longer, I’m a recovering vegetarian. I would eat tons of soy and I thought it was a really good food. So, let me just dispel some of those myths and give you some of the facts. First of all, the Asians are not healthier people because they eat soy. Soy is not a staple in Asia and I have actually lived in Asia, Southeast Asia, and I can tell you, for a fact, it is not. The Chinese eat an average of two teaspoons a day of soy, and the Japanese may do a couple of tablespoons a day.

Raena Morgan: That’s not very much.

Dr. Sherrill Sellman: No, it’s not very much. And the kind of soy these people eat is basically in a fermented form. So, soy came from Asia. It was never considered a very nutritional food. It was when they learned to ferment it, in the form of miso by the Japanese, particularly, and in another form called naso, that they were able to make it digestible. Up until that point it was only used in times of famine when they had nothing else; they would never eat the soybeans. It was used more to put nitrogen into the soil. So, the best way, and the only way I really recommend people eat soy is in fermented form. The reason why we have a problem with soy is because there are some health concerns [about the] effects of eating soy. Right now soy flour is just in about every bread you buy.

Raena Morgan: That’s right.

Dr. Sherrill Sellman: You have soy milk, you have soy nuts, you have soy oil, [it’s] just proliferated. But the fact of the matter is, soy is a very dangerous food, it’s one of the top most allergic foods you can eat. We know wheat is allergic, we know milk—these are highly allergic foods, [regarding] food allergies. Soy is cross reactive with wheat; it’s extremely allergic, it will create a range of inflammatory conditions. And we’re a very allergic society. You know, people have lots of allergy issues, and soy contributes to that. The other thing about soy is that it interferes with thyroid function. Actually it’s called goitergenic, the term; it actually will block the action of your thyroid. Several tablespoons a day [are] enough soy to actually have an effect on your thyroid, and we’re a society that also has a tremendous amount of issues with thyroid problems.

Raena Morgan: Right.

Dr. Sherrill Sellman: So, one of the known effects of soy is that its goitergenic and it will compromise thyroid function leading to hypothyroidism….It increases the need for the body’s vitamin D, you have to take more vitamin D. It’s a very inefficient form of B12; it will not supply the body’s requirement for B12. It also is a trypsin inhibitor; it will block the absorption of protein and interfere with the function of the pancreas. And aside from that, it also blocks the absorption of key minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc and iron. So it's (soy) a terrible food to give to children. And one other thing I have to say is it’s very estrogenic. Now, the popular form of some infant formulas and a lot of people are using soy because their babies are allergic to milk, or whatever, but, in actual fact, it’s a very poor, it’s a very bad form of formula for children. One of the reasons why? If a baby is fed solely on soy formula it’s like giving that baby 5 birth control pills a day, [that’s] the amount of estrogen. You get 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen in, circulating in a baby’s body, then if they were taking a milk formula. And that can lead to conditions later in life, such as, this growing problem of early puberty that we have—1 out of 6 8 year olds going through puberty. Feeding children, little girls and little boys, who also have reproductive abnormalities from doing the soy infant formula, can create a whole host of problems that can be with these children for the rest of their lives. So, if you’re going to do soy, it’s nutritious as a fermented food. Tofu, by the way, is not fermented. We’re talking tempeh, we’re talking miso and we’re talking naso, and any other form of soy be very judicious of its use. Only use a small amount. I occasionally use a little soy milk in my coffee because I don’t like milk, but that’s about it. And there are much more nutritious foods out there that will not have the health effects, the detrimental effects, and can really provide us with our nutritional needs much better. And there’s one more thing I want to add about soy. Most of the soy you get, unless it says organic, is a GMO— genetically, modified organism, which means it has been tampered with. More and more research is coming out showing that GMO foods have serious debilitating effects to our health. So, you do not want to be eating GMO foods, and unless it says organic soy, it is probably GMO. And also the major grower and distributor of soy tried to get the government to give it a GRAS labeling, generally recognized as safe, but when all the literature and science was presented, that request was denied. So, it is not recognized as a generally recognized as safe product, which should be telling us something quite important about the effects of soy on our health.

Raena Morgan: Well, thank you for telling us the other side of the soy story. Thank you very much Dr. Sellman.

Dr. Sherrill Sellman: You’re welcome

Transcript

Raena: Soy is something that remixed estrogen and we shouldn’t be using that right?

Ori: The soy is one of the biggest food policy that human encounter. And I’d like to address it in couple second.

Raena: Okay.

Ori: Soy, based on question is an estrogenic food. The soy is flame special ganister has shown again and again that—estrogen combined. Research of soy is done by soybean manufacturer, so yes, we see a lot of positive that it have anti-cancers and anti—but what they don’t show is the disturbing evidence. That soy actually can cause cancer in men and women who are prone, who suffer from cancer that soy can cause retardation of growth in amount of infants. That soy does promote, especially product of soy like soy milk, soy protein isolate can definitely cause damage. You cannot ignore it. There are other few foods that promote estrogen like Omega 6 oil or the oil that you think that has canola, Mazola, corn oil. All these oils have shown in other species, I mean use to promote estrogen. We need to counteract it. Yes, soy which is one of the most popular health food item. You should avoid it in my opinion.

Raena: I will do that from this point on. Thank you.

In concluding I am not suggesting you should cut soy entirely from your diet, however, as you can see above, it is definitely not an item to be ‘feeding on’ on a daily basis!

Love and Blessings and stay healthy!
