The Next BIG Thing In Superfoods!

November 2nd, 2016 at 6:17 pm

dulse-2sybaritica

This Just in...

Newport Oregon,

Oregon State researchers recently patented a new strain of seaweed that grows unbelievably fast, is full of protein and nutrients and has an unusual characteristic when cooked.

Dulse, grows along the coastlines in the wild and is harvested and is sold for up to $90 a pound. Now, researcher Chris Langdon and his staff, have created a new form of dulse which contains numerous vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as 16% protein.

It looks like translucent red lettuce and has an unusual characteristic when cooked....It tastes just like bacon. It has to be fried but the researchers claim it has a strong bacon like flavor.

I am thrilled since I love but do not eat bacon! The researchers are hopeful that the vegan market will place this product in high demand.

As far as it's superfood status, it is a superfood with twice the nutritional value of kale, according to the researchers.

It is also sustainable, as this can be quickly farmed using a water recirculation system. According to the researchers, growing is easy. It requires only a modest amount of seawater and sunlight.

Medical Mysteries You WILL not Believe!

October 26th, 2016 at 7:09 pm

Here are some inexplicable medical mysteries you will NOT believe! Some of these stories prove there is much more to the human body than we know. Medical Daily once yearly publishes a list of medical mysteries. Here are some of their top stories so curl up with them on this dark, rainy night shortly before Halloween. Cheers!

The strange case of a woman with a missing cerebellum:

Back in 2014, it was normal procedure for doctors to perform a CAT scan on a 24 year old woman in China after she was admitted to the hospital complaining of dizziness and nausea. In her history, she reported to her doctors that she had been unable to speak intelligibly until age 6 and unable to stand until age 4. She had suffered lifelong balance issues.

Despite these few issues, the woman married and had a daughter. She functioned completely normally for years. Imagine the doctors surprise when her CAT scan revealed she was missing her entire

The boy who lost his appetite:

A 12 year old boy suddenly woke up without an appetite or thirst. Now, his parents have to force feed him to keep him alive. Since this occurred in 2013, he has lost 40#s. Though his sense of smell and taste are normal, no sensations stimulate any appetite or desire to eat or drink anything.

No medical cause has ever been found.

The Case of the Woman with no pulse:

A 40 year old mother in Fla who underwent a routine cesarean lost her pulse for a full 45 minutes.

This occurred because fluid from the amniotic sac entered her bloodstream and created a vacuum in her heart completely stopping her heart and lung function. After she was revived, the lack of blood flow to her brain had caused no neurological damage.

After waking up from a weeklong coma after a car crash, an Australian man lost some of his English speaking abilities but is now able to speak fluent Mandarin. This was discovered in the hospital where he recovered after he engaged with a Mandarin speaking nurse.

The case of the strange epidemic:

200 young girls in Columbia entered the nearest hospital complaining of nausea, abdominal pain and numbness in their hands. Researchers were baffled by the synchronicity of this event and it was chalked up to mass hysteria when it was learned that the village had been introduced to the HPV vaccination.

Happy Halloween!

How ONE PLANT Could Save The Environment

October 12th, 2016 at 7:19 pm

ayahauscawikipedia Ayahauska Image:Wikipedia

A plant medicine used in the Amazon for centuries for healing and spiritual purposes may provide the answer to our environmental problems according to an interview with U.S. scientist, Dennis McKenna as reported in the Guardian recently.

According to the ethnopharmacologist, Mckenna emphasized the profound contribution that the medicine can make "if ever afforded its rightful place in medical practice and averting environmental catastrophe."

He states" Ayahauska is the conduit to a body of profoundly ancient genetic and evolutionary wisdom that has long abided in the cosmologies of the indigenous people of the Amazon who have guarded and protected this knowlege for millennia, who learned long ago that the human role is not to be master of nature, but its stewards".

"Our destiny, if we are to survive, is to nuture nature and to learn from it how to nuture ourselves and other human beings. This is the lesson that can be learned from Ayahauska, if only we pay attention.

I have always been reverent of life and nature. I have also been incredibly troubled by peoples estrangement from nature, even including their own bodies. Working conflictually with your body or nature is simply DOOMED.

If we are to survive, we will have to change, and quickly.

If this herb can raise the consciousness of others quickly, I am all for it!

New Study Links THIS to 7 Different Types Of Cancer

October 7th, 2016 at 5:20 pm

Image:Pinterest

A major conclusion of this little known cancer cause is based on a decade's worth of research undertaken by the World Cancer Research Fund, The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization, and other major respected health research groups. The take home message to all is that cancers are preventable.

While not as established, another 3 types of cancer are also associated. These are skin, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.

While alcohol has long been recognized as a carcinogen, new research has now demonstrated that 7 distinct types of cancer have been linked to even moderate drinking.

These include:

Breast

Mouth

Throat

Larnyx

Esophagus

Colon

Bowel

Liver

Although alcohol is not the sole cause of these cancers, alcohol is a leading one. The study's author noted that alcohol related deaths constitute up to 6% of cancer deaths worldwide.

Study author, Jennie Connor and as reported in the Guardian noted that: "the highest risks are associated with the heaviest drinking but a considerable burden is experienced with low to moderate consumption, due to the distribution of drinking in the population".

Unknown to most, when it comes to consuming alcohol, there is no "safe limit".

Study authors went on to conclude that simply by not smoking, rarely drinking and leading an active lifestyle would prevent 70% of cancer deaths.

Help Seasonal Allergies!

October 5th, 2016 at 6:41 pm

todayIfoundoutdotcom Image: TodayIfoundOut.com

Seasonal allergy season is here once again. While most of my clients/patients struggle with seasonal allergies I RARELY treat them as a primary problem. Thing is, they clear up when dealing with the person's overall health status. Countless clients have arrived at my clinic complaining of sinus problems, allergies and gut issues. When we have fixed the gut issues, their seasonal allergies also disappeared. We learn in naturopathic training that if "something is wrong with the gut fix that first because everything else will improve", I have found these words very true.

Conventional medicine treats allergies with injections and pills which does not address the core trouble. The core trouble for many is an inflammed gut due to underlying infestations of bacteria, fungus, yeast or all three, severe food allergy, like Celiac disorder, leaky gut, environmental allergies, and severe stress. Delving into and establishing the primary cause is necessary for full resolution of symptoms.

Anything that impacts the immune system will trigger allergies or help them calm down. Dietary changes towards a low inflammation diet is necessary. A whole foods, antioxidant rich diet low in sugars is a good first step. Healthy fats like avocado and fatty fish are also helpful for allergies.

Gut healing nutrients should only be used if you are working with someone like myself who specializes in these disorders. If you start supplementing yourself you will not only waste time and money but in many cases make the undiagnosed underlying disorder harder to treat.

Stress is a great trigger for allergies by depleting your immune system and damaging your gut. If you are too stressed out consider Yoga or other mind body techniques to assist you in managing it. Exercise is also a great aid to stress reduction.

Get enough sleep as sleep deficits damage the gut and increase inflammation. A simple blood test called a C-reactive protein test can measure the degree of inflammation in your body and potential for chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Taking care of your body is an investment that will pay dividends for a lifetime. Investing in a proper diagnosis and treatment will also pay dividends for the rest of your life.

For very mild symptoms, a natural antihistamine can be helpful for a week or two. One I recommend is FREE Shipping on all orders!

Wheat sensitivities Are Due To This?

September 21st, 2016 at 6:39 pm

weightzonefactor

Image: Weightzonefactor.com

A recent study may explain why people who do not have Celiac disease or wheat allergy nevertheless experience a variety of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms after ingesting wheat and related grain cereals. The findings suggest that these individuals have a weakened intestinal barrier, AKA, leaky gut, which leads to a body-wide inflammatory immune response.

Conclusions from this study, which was led by researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), were reported in the journal Gut.

"Our study shows that the symptoms reported by individuals with this condition are not imagined, as some people have suggested," said study co-author Peter H. Green, MD, the Phyllis and Ivan Seidenberg Professor of Medicine at CUMC and director of the Celiac Disease Center. "It demonstrates that there is a biological basis for these symptoms in a significant number of these patients."

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the small intestine after someone who is genetically positive to the disorder ingests gluten from wheat, rye, or barley. This leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating.

Researchers have struggled to determine why some people, who lack the characteristic blood, tissue, or genes have Celiac-like GI symptoms, as well as certain extra-intestinal symptoms, such as fatigue, cognitive difficulties, or mood disturbance, after ingesting foods that contain wheat, rye, or barley. One explanation for this condition, known as non-celiac gluten or wheat sensitivity (NCWS), is that exposure to the offending grains somehow triggers acute systemic immune activation, rather than a strictly localized intestinal immune response. Because there are no biomarkers for NCWS, accurate figures for its prevalence are not available, but it is estimated to affect about 1 percent of the population, or 3 million Americans, roughly the same prevalence as celiac disease.

The CUMC team examined 80 individuals with NCWS, 40 individuals with celiac disease, and 40 healthy controls. Despite the extensive intestinal damage associated with Celiac disease, blood markers of innate systemic immune activation were not elevated in the Celiac disease group. This suggests that the intestinal immune response in Celiac patients is able to neutralize microbes or microbial components that may pass through the damaged intestinal barrier, thereby preventing a systemic inflammatory response against highly immunostimulatory molecules.

The NCWS group was markedly different. They did not have the intestinal cytotoxic T cells seen in celiac patients, but they did have a marker of intestinal cellular damage that correlated with serologic markers of acute systemic immune activation. This therefore suggests that the identified systemic immune activation in NCWS is linked to increased translocation of microbial and dietary components from the gut into systemic circulation, in part due to intestinal cell damage and weakening of the intestinal barrier.

"A systemic immune activation model would be consistent with the generally rapid onset of the reported symptoms in people with non-celiac wheat sensitivity," said study leader Armin Alaedini, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at CUMC who also holds an appointment in Columbia's Institute of Human Nutrition and is a member of the Celiac Disease Center.

NCWS patients who followed a diet that excluded wheat and related cereals for six months were able to normalize their levels of immune activation and intestinal cell damage markers, the researchers also found. These changes were associated with significant improvement in both intestinal and non-intestinal symptoms, as reported by the patients in detailed symptom questionnaires.

Dr. Alaedini,says "The data suggests that, in the future, we may be able to use a combination of biomarkers to identify patients with non-celiac wheat sensitivity, and to monitor their response to treatment.

This confirms what naturopathic doctors have said for decades...that the microbiome your own gut bacteriology is responsible for creating a condition of chronic inflammation in the gut which wears away the lining creating leaky gut. In my clinical experience in treating this phenomenon, I have learned that grains are the first foods people become sensitive to. Eventually it becomes more and more generalized until finally, they seek the help they need.

There is absolutely NO NEED to suffer. Get the help you need to heal these conditions.

A NEW Natural Remedy For Baldness

September 14th, 2016 at 7:44 pm

peppermint

This Just In!

Hair loss is a distressing condition that is associated with a multitude of natural, medical, or nutritional conditions. For example, androgenetic alopecia in men, or male pattern baldness, is increasingly recognized as a physically and psychologically serious medical condition that often requires a professional care by generalist clinicians.

The only products sanctioned by the US FDA for hair loss treatment are oral finasteride (Proscar®) and topical minoxidil (Rogaine®). Minoxidil was originally created as a hypertension medication by Upjohn Pharmaceuticals . Upjohn itself has warned of possible negative side effects from the medication including increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, rapid weight gain, edema, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp itching, and scaling .

Traditional plant remedies have been used for centuries in the treatment for hair loss, but only a few have been scientifically evaluated.Peppermint (Mentha piperita) extracted from peppermint leaves is generally regarded as an excellent carminative and gastric stimulant, and also has been used in cosmetic formulations as a fragrance component and a general skin conditioning agent. The principal ingredient of peppermint oil, menthol, is primarily responsible for its beneficial effects .In vitro, peppermint has been reported to show anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal activities as well as strong antioxidant activity, and antiallergenic and antitumor actions . Several clinical trials examining the effects of peppermint oil (PEO) on irritable bowel syndrome have been reported . However, experimental trial of PEO in its hair growth activity has not been fully reported. The aim of this study was to address the therapeutic potential of PEO for hair loss via the comparative analysis between PEO and minoxidil.

The drugs for alopecia treatment have been developed to maintain or induce the anagen stage of hair cycle. ALP activity was particularly detected in the dermal papilla. ALP activity in the dermal papilla was moderate in very early anagen, reached a maximal level in early anagen, and was kept at a low level during .The bulbar dermal sheath showed intense ALP activity only in early anagen .Although results from clinical trials vary, the majority of the evidence indicates that there is a direct correlation between the hair follicle depth and the level of ALP activity. In this NIH study, study, PEO induced significantly high ALP activity at week 2, even greater than MXD. This study demonstrates that PEO stimulates both dermal papilla and ALP activity, which promotes blood circulation by relaxing vascular smooth muscle .

To better understand the influence of the endocrine system in hair growth, researchers analyzed the mRNA expression of IGF-1 gene. It is a potent mitogen supporting cell growth and survival and also plays a role to increase hair thickness .In this study, PEO showed remarkably increased IGF-1 mRNA expression at week 2, whereas MXD at week 4.

In conclusion, the researchers experimental data suggested that a 3% PEO facilitates hair growth by promoting the conservation of vascularization of hair dermal papilla, which may contribute to the induction of early anagen stage. In addition, PEO effectively stimulated hair growth in an animal model via several mechanisms and thus could be used as a therapeutic or preventive alternative medicine for hair loss in humans.

According to the researchers this was clinically more effective than current drugs. Since this was an animal study it is unknown whether or not the same effects would occur in humans. Essential oils used topically have been demonstrated effective in alopecia in the medical literature.

Other than a potential for individual skin sensitivity, there seems to me to be little risk in trying the oil. Here is a good one. FREE shipping!

Brain Scientists Have Made A BIG Discovery About OCD

September 7th, 2016 at 6:27 pm

OCD-300x279

This just in...

OCD is a chronic and lifelong disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and behaviors. While people joke about having this disorder, it is not amusing to those who suffer its daily effects.

Now, brain scientists at Duke University have tested mice who were bred with a low level of a specificbrain receptor and found that the animals would excessively groom themselves. This gene, known as Sapap3, creates the connection between brain cells.

The scientists located a specific region in the brain of mice that controls compulsive behavior, observing when anxiety would trigger the OCD behavior. It's considered a remarkable discovery because, during the testing process, the researchers were able to identify the exact chemical, called mGluR5, that encouraged the OCD-like behavior. When the researchers used a chemical to deactivate mGluR5, the OCD behavior subsided almost immediately.

Even though the testing is a preliminary finding in mice only, some obvious implications are clear for people, regarding what is occuring in the brain when someone obsessively washes their hands, needs to walk up steps three times before they enter their home, or one who has to have certain food arrangments on their plate in a certain way before they can eat. It could also lead to additional testing on humans to deactivate mGluR5, which is thought to play a role in Parkinson's disease as well.

OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, has been diagnosed in about 3.3 million people and involves anxious, obsessive thoughts.analytical and solved crimes.

There's no known cure for OCD, although with training and psychological help, people who suffer from the illness can lead normal lives and adjust to everyday pressures. Current treatment involves increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain.

What's interesting about the Duke University study is that it is the first time researchers have suggested there could be a specific treatment for OCD that has a direct impact on a specific chemical and could therefore lead to a remedy. (In neuroscience, these types of neurological disorders are considered incurable.) Medical treatment currently involves management serotonin drugs and behavioral therapy.

In an upcoming report, I will discuss how you can repair your own genetic material based on a groundbreaking study published just yesterday. In short, sufferers may be able to cure themselves of this and other maladies with no treatment at all.

MAJOR Cause Of Chronic Illness MD's Won't Tell You About

September 1st, 2016 at 7:05 pm

building-blocks-397142_960_720 Image bixabay.com

According to science writer and author Donna Jackson Nakazawa, after suffering an autoimmune disease and extreme inflammation for her entire adult life, one physician finally made the connection between her ongoing suffering and the real actual cause.

As she reveals in her book, Childhood Interrupted, this cause is childhood trauma. According to the CDC, this results in a plethora of adult onset diseases such as:

· Depression
· Cancer
· Heart Disease
· Diabetes
· Migraines
· Autoimmune disease
· IBS

This childhood trauma can range from obvious physical or sexual abuse to living with divorced parents, alcoholic parents or parent or psychological abuse such as humiliation, belittling or being neglected.

Patients that experienced 4 or more of these criteria of childhood adversities were twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression and cancer as adults.

Women who had faced 3 or more types of childhood adversity experienced a 60% greater incidence of being hospitalized in adulthood with an autoimmune disease. Experiencing 6 or more categories shortened lifespan by 20 years.

This damage occurs due to changes in the brain itself which results in a chronic state of high stress.

Ms. Nakazawa describes it as a permanent state of fight, flight or freeze which floods the child's body and brain with stress hormones, altering the genes and resetting the stress response to high for life.

According to the author, research has existed since 1996 linking childhood stress and adult chronic illness and 1,500 studies have replicated the results. Two thirds of American report experiencing childhood adversity.

Why then does the medical community fail to acknowledge this tremendous link? For one, medical schools leave this information out of their curriculum. Lack of holism in healthcare, as well as shortened office visits, lack of relationships due to insurance changes etc, as well as MD's reluctance to initiate dialogues about mental health all play a role in this major public health problem being ignored.

Annual health costs and potential savings by addressing this epidemic is $124 billion a year!

One study of 125,000 patients showed that when physicians acknowledge childhood trauma openly, patients experienced a thirty five percent reduction in doctor visits. It seems that validating patient suffering leads to them dealing with it at last.

Why You Won't Need That Root Canal After All!

August 24th, 2016 at 6:20 pm

root1web

Image: Scott Wagner DDS

Root canals rank as one of the most feared dental procedures there is. This is because of the discomfort associated with having the nerve and blood vessels scraped out of your tooth's root. Many people will procrastinate as long as possible because they know that while some dentists say the procedure is no more painful than having a filling, the recovery on a root canal can be lengthy, complicated and sometimes excruciating. But today, GREAT NEWS!

Researchers at Wyss Institute at Harvard University and the University of Nottingham have created a new biomaterial that not only repairs teeth, but regenerates the dentin that gets destroyed with tooth decay.

This could be the end of replacement fillings and root canals as are currently performed!

Currently, dentists use metal or composite materials to fill a tooth but it does damage to the existing tooth and breaks down over time, needing replacement and sometimes a more complicated procedure down the road.

ENTER a new synthetic biomaterial that works in conjunction with the pulp tissue that is already inside the tooth. It stimulates the stem cells it comes in contact with, and the process of healing and regeneration begins. The research team behind this won second prize in the Royal Society of Chemistry's Emerging Technologies competition and the prize monies and award will help to fund the process of getting this material out there for practical application. With this success, and the award to back the research, the team will mobilize to help medical and other industries become aware of their findings, and hopefully move this discovery into practical, every day application very, very soon!
