My friends.

We need to take control of our health and to educate ourselves.

I watched it. In our family we NEVER used any artificial sugar substitutes.

And I am so glad we didn’t. Please watch.

Making health care about health — chicagotribune.com

As a young cardiologist, Steve Devries noticed a disturbing pattern: His patched-up heart patients kept returning for repairs. It happened so often that Devries decided there must be another way to advance patients’ health.

Today, his thriving Chicago practice focuses exclusively on preventing disease, and Devries is far more likely to counsel patients about diet, sleep habits and exercise than to prescribe high-tech scans or cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Motivated by a growing sense that America’s health care system is broken, doctors such as Devries and public health experts are turning to preventive medicine for a potential fix. And lawmakers, eager to curb rising health care costs, are paying close attention.
Extensive research documents the potential impact. In an April article in PLoS Medicine, an international peer-reviewed journal, researchers estimated that 191,000 fewer deaths would occur each year in the U.S. if people got more physical activity; 216,000 deaths forestalled if people were a normal weight instead of overweight or obese; and 467,000 deaths averted if people gave up smoking.
“My own opinion is we have to take natural supplements to neutralize all the toxins around us” 

Green tea, recognized worldwide for its therapeutic properties, contains powerful flavonoids called catechins. The chief catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory, cholesterol lowering, fat burning and other beneficial properties. Benefits of green tea and its effects were discovered 4,000 years ago and since then has been considered a wonder drink!

Most of the research showing the health benefits of green tea is based on the amount of green tea typically consumed in Asian countries-about 3 cups per day (which would provide 240-320 mg of polyphenols). Just one cup of green tea supplies 20-35 mg of EGCG, which has the highest antioxidant activity of all the green tea catechins.

If you don’t like green tea or drink it occasionally I suggest natural supplement in isotonic form.

Precaution :
Do not take green tea without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant
Do not take green tea without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Green tea contains a large amount of caffeine, which may cause restlessness, sleep disorders, and other effects in breast-feeding infants….

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (‘TRY’, BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY. 
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime. 
3  When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. 
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. 
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications. 
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites. 
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.. 
*CANCER CELLS FEED ON: 
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt. 
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved. 
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. 
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). 
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup. 
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body’s killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells. 
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. 
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. 1. No plastic containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave. 
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don’t freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. 

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. 
This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. 
Paper isn’t bad but you don’t know what is in the paper. It’s just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. 
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Spices may do more than flavor your food: New research suggests that spices could also boost the health of diabetics. Researchers bought 24 herbs and spices and found that many appear to have the power to inhibit tissue damage and inflammation brought on by high blood-sugar levels in the body.

The study didn’t examine the direct effects of spices on diabetics. Also, spices are typically used in small amounts, making it unclear if those who eat them would get much benefit.

Still, “this gives people a tool to work with in terms of keeping their health as they want it to be,” said study co-author James Hargrove, an associate professor at the University of Georgia.

Hargrove and his colleagues were intrigued by spices because they’re rich in antioxidants, which are thought to protect cells from damage. “One can put a lot of antioxidant power into meals by using spices” without making people fatter, he said. “Because of the way they’re prepared, herbs and spices tend to have low calorie contents.”

One of the best antioxidants I found is OPC-3 offeredon this site

The researchers decided to look into the anti-inflammatory properties of spices. “We said, ‘Let’s just go to Wal-Mart, get all the McCormick brand spices we can find, and check those. That was as complicated as our study design was.”

The findings appear in a recent issue of the Journal of Medicinal Food.

In laboratory tests, the researchers found that many of the spices and extracts appeared to inhibit a process known as glycation, which has been linked to inflammation and tissue damage in diabetics.

The spices that seemed most likely to help diabetics included cloves, cinnamon (previously pegged as a possible blood-sugar reducer), allspice, apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice, Hargrove said. Top herbs included marjoram, sage and thyme.

Other spices and herbs were “still rich compared to other foods” when it comes to the effect, he said.

Lona Sandon, national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, said that while research does suggest that spices are high in antioxidants and may reduce blood-sugar levels, it’s difficult to make recommendations about how much to use.

Even so, “I say add as much herbs and spices as your taste buds and tummy can take,” she said. “They add flavor and fun to foods without adding calories or fat. Their potential for promoting health outweighs any risks, unless, of course, you have an allergy to a particular spice.”

 Do you take second helpings when the cranberry relish comes around? Here’s a reason to feel good about it: Not only do cranberries make the perfect accompaniment to turkey and stuffing, but they may curb your risk for heart disease, too.

The Makings of a Healthy Heart
Cranberries were high on the list of best-for-your-heart foods in a review of 134 studies examining cardio-smart nutrition. Researchers suspect that an arsenal of polyphenolic compounds in the tart red fruit may help your ticker in several ways:

    * They calm your tissues. Compounds that are close to becoming household words (quercetin, proanthocyanidins, and resveratrol) help put the chill on chronic vascular inflammation — and that may lead to younger arteries and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Here’s another food that helps clamp down on vascular inflammation.
    * They clean house. The antioxidants in cranberries help cells in your heart and elsewhere rid themselves of troublemaking free radicals. Mopping up free radicals can prevent a bunch of other diseases, too.
    * They may even balance your blood fats. Although further research is needed, cranberry juice may increase good-for-you HDL cholesterol and reduce lousy LDL cholesterol. Get the facts on cholesterol’s role in heart disease.

Recipe Corner Cranberries freeze well, so stock up on any markdowns at the grocery store. And here’s something you can make with that extra bag of berries in the fridge: Holiday Cranberry-Orange Pistachio Bars. They can be frozen for up to a month, so you’re ahead of the game for the next holiday feast.
