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.

Important: we will be closed this Saturday the10th. We will be in later Thursday and Friday if you need to pick up. Sorry for any inconvenience.

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!

NEXT WEEK! An incredibly important article, the last for August is A MAJOR cause of chronic lifelong illness MD's won't tell you about. Do NOT miss this one! Sign UP. Or Like us on Facebook or Twitter to get alerts! See you next Wednesday.

The Most Powerful Natural Substance On Earth! BE CAREFUL!

August 17th, 2016 at 6:16 pm

goldenseal

Image: OnlyFoods.Net

Only a handful of plants contain this powerful chemical used widely in botannical and Chinese medicine. These include Goldenseal, Oregon Graperoot, Barberry and Chinese Coptis. The active constituent is a bioactive compound extracted from one of the above plants. Technically, it belongs to a class of chemicals called alkaloids.

This compound, berberine, has recently been studied with respect to several different health problems. This occurs at a molecular level by activating an enzyme known as AMPK which regulates metabolism.

According to the most recent research, berberine may significantly reduce blood sugar levels in people with type II diabetes. In fact, its efficacy has been compared to metformin or Glucophage. In a meta review of 14 different studies

berberine was found to be as effective as oral diabetes drugs both at normalizing blood sugars and regulating HgA1C.

Berberine may assist weight loss. Again, in a handful of studies, berberine helped obese individuals lose weight and body fat as well as improve some health markers.

Regarding cardiac health, a review of studies 11 to be exact demonstrated that berberine lowers total cholesterol, LDL or bad cholesterol and triglycerides.

Berberine, is associated with anti infective, antibacterial properties against microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and even parasites.

Here's why I don't recommend it for the above uses at this time.

While it is touted as being safe, presumably since it has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years please understand that Chinese Medicine which I am credentialled in NEVER uses individual herbs to treat maladies. That is a western phenomenon. Herbs, in Chinese medicine are used in their natural state only in complex formulas in small amounts. Coptis is used respectfully used in small amounts along with other herbs as a formula. It is therefore ridiculous to compare these two applications and to assume safety as a result.

Please understand that when using an alkaloid or any isolated "active" ingredient you are truly taking an unregulated DRUG. A drug that no one really knows the long term effects of interactions with and many other things.

I have firsthand in clinical practice used berberine to treat intestinal dysbiosis for many years in short term protocols for many, many patients and I can tell you emphatically that if used alone it will damage your good bacteria. Perhaps this is why many people suffer from gastric pain, spasms, diarrhea, constipation etc.

I do not believe this powerful bioactive should be used indiscriminately in this fashion. All hype aside, you do so at your own risk.

BROKEN CAPILLARIES? Here's how to reverse them.

August 10th, 2016 at 6:33 pm

Image: Mariobadescublog

Broken capillaries or telangiectasia are not really a medical problem or disease per se but they are unsightly, and persistent. In layman's terms they are referred to as spider veins when on the legs. Some people seem to be more prone to them than others. While laser therapy by a dermatologist is one option, many patients ask for help with this unwanted side effect of their primary skin condition.

Prolonged exposure to the sun is the primary source of broken blood vessels in face regions. Sunburn itself is one of causes. Sunburn actually means that thousands of little blood vessels all over your skin are bursting because they've been exposed to direct sunlight for too long. It feels warm and it turns red because those vessels rush blood towards the surface of the skin in order for it to help with the healing process. It usually lasts for 3 to 5 days, but the damages are permanent. And specific areas will be affected again and again, like on your face, the main results being spider veins.
Acne is another source. The irritation or inflammation caused by a bad case of acne, such as acne roseacea leads to excess dilation of the skin's blood vessels, which are never able to return to their normal, initial state again.
Aggressive hygiene is also a cause of spider veins. For example, using very harsh cleansing products on the face's fragile skin or scrubbing it too hard, causes the vessels to explode.
Alcohol is one of the most well-known factors causing blood dilation. Alcoholics usually have spider veins all over their face.
Other factors can be taken into consideration as well, although on a much smaller scale, such as hormones, age or genetics.

Lysine, is an essential amino-acid which sometimes works wonders in treating skin inflammation. Acne, pimples, redness, even frostbite, can improve dramatically after taking L-Lysine along with vitamin C.

Aloe Vera is very healing and can reduce inflammation and moisturize skin, that's why it is so popular for burns.

Horse chestnut seed extract is an amazing plant extract that has been studied and demonstrates efficacy against varicose and spider veins. It has a component called Aescin that treats them both, fights against venous insufficiency and helps with the integrity of the capillaries. This means it reduces the cause of the problem to begin with, which is capillaries bursting causing the ugly redness in the skin. There are several ways in which you can use horse chestnut extract in order to maximize its efficiency both internally and externally. For broken capillaries, check out my COOL DOWN! cooling astringent which also contains aloe, cucumber, witch hazel and horse chestnut extracts. It is extremely soothing and cooling to skin inflammation. It is also possible to use straight horse chestnut extract mixed with rosehip or grapeseed oil and to leave on overnight.

For broken capillaries on the legs, vitamin K topically is essential. Usually it will not penetrate the skin sufficiently unless it is applied with ultrasound or after microneedling, but get professional assistance for that purpose.

A diet rich in several vitamins can both reduce the appearance of existing spider veins and prevent future outbreaks. Your capillary walls may break if your overall health is poor, so eat foods rich in vitamin B6 to give your immune system extra support and encourage cellular growth. Vitamins C, E and K are also helpful in reducing their appearance. Vitamin C will improve your circulation and prevent damaged capillaries. Vitamin E and vitamin K both improve circulation and reduce redness and swelling in areas where ruptured capillaries are visible. All of the above will thicken the skin making broken capillaries recede in prominence.

Different treatments are effective for different people so please feel free to contact me or to come in to discuss your situation and what the best course of action would be. It can take at least two months for benefits to occur so be patient when trying natural medicine, as always.

What REALLY Causes MIGRAINE, And A Resolution

August 6th, 2016 at 3:39 pm

curejoy Image: CureJoy.com

CAUSE Of Migraine Headaches Finally Revealed! (as well as a potential resolution.)

If you have ever had a migraine headache, you know how painful and debilitating they can be! One in seven people suffer from migraine making them the third most prevalent illness in the world!

While a long list of causes and triggers have been implicated such as:

Food Allergy
Lack of Sleep
Hormonal Shifts
Genes
Neurological problems
and many more...

The Truth is that science hasn't really determined a cause and that has made effective treatment an impossibility for most. Until Now. (Finally), a group of scientists at the International Genetics Consortium has discovered and agreed that the cause is constriction of the blood vessels within the brain.

This study, based on almost 60,000 participants as migraine sufferers and 300,000 controls from 12 different countries was published recently in the journal, Nature Genetics. According to the researchers, new therapies should be directed towards modifying vascular tone.

I think they may be on to something. For several years, I have been helping clients with chronic migraine through two avenues. One is reducing overall inflammation systemically in the body and the second by supplying nutrients to tonify the arteries and arterioles based on individualized nutrient testing. Both of these interventions have been extremely effective as they make the afflicted blood vessels less reactionary to environmental triggers. Over a few months the migraines seem to burn themselves out.

Let me know if you would like to learn more.

Wednesday we will have our Forum on: How to FIX Broken Capillaries Naturally.

Push Your VISION Beyond 20/20, SEE What's Possible According To New Research!

July 27th, 2016 at 5:25 pm

Snellen_chart

New research suggests that it may be possible to improve eye sight in people with 20/20 vision just by giving them dietary supplements.

Pioneering scientists at the Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) found that those who were given regular doses of certain fat-soluble pigments that give plants a yellow, orange or red colour, saw a marked improvement in their visual function.

The study found that in particular, three of these carotenoids - lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin - had a beneficial impact.

This research has raised the idea that people who are particularly dependent on having sharp vision, like professional drivers, pilots, high performance sports people or members of the military, could benefit from taking such supplements and even lengthen their careers!

Called Central Retinal Enrichment Supplementation Trials or CREST, the study recruited 105 volunteers who underwent complex vision tests over the course of a year.

52 received a placebo, while the others were given daily supplements.

Those who were part of the treated group saw a marked improvement in contrast sensitivity or how faint an object was that they could still see.

Among those who participated in the testing was Waterford senior hurler and All-Star, Noel Connors.

The research was unusual as studies in this area have traditionally focused on people whose eye sight has degenerated due to ocular disease.

The experiment was funded by the European Research Council and carried out be a team of researchers at the Macular Pigment Research Group at Nutrition Research Centre Ireland at WIT.

"All of us involved in this research are tremendously excited about the outcome - not only from a scientific perspective but also because of the significant benefits it will have for a wide range of people," said Principal Investigator, Professor John Nolan,.

"Many people may already consider themselves to have 'good' eyesight, but now we know that many of these would benefit from appropriate supplementation."

Details of the findings are published in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS).

This product will enable you to replicate the study dosages. FREE Shipping!

I will be posting our new AUGUST calendar of events on Saturday. I have too many exciting things to publish next month so be sure to sign up so receive our health information and special reports each week. Just to give you a couple hints the causes of migraine and wheat sensitivity will be revealed based on the latest research!

Top Tips For Beautiful SKIN!

July 20th, 2016 at 6:31 pm

beautiful-skin Image:fanfujianch.com

Top Tips For Beautiful Skin:

The skin, like any organ, responds to a two pronged approach to health. This is: avoidance of insults, and then and only then supplying topicals that benefit its turnover and rejuvenation.

The first step in achieving beautiful skin is avoiding what wrecks it. The following is a chart of foods that should be eliminated and the reason. There is absolutely NO PRODUCT or procedure that will combat or hide the ill effects of a bad diet. Oh, BTW, these things will majorly improve your overall health as well.

· CANDY: exacerbates acne, creates and worsens inflammation and breaks collagen and elastin fibers aging skin.

· DAIRY: Can spike insulin levels, worsen inflammation, and increase oil production which will increase acne.

· FAST FOOD: Saturated and trans fats will increase inflammation and increase acne lesions. The additives given to the animals including steroids and antibiotics will worsen all skin conditions.

· ARTIFICIAL COLORS SWEETENERS and FLAVORS: cause inflammation and histamine reactions leading to red, unhappy,dry skin.

· CAFFEINE: Dries out and ages your skin. By increasing cortisol levels, it prematurely ages skin and hair.

· GLUTEN: Can be extremely inflammatory for skin. White flour will feed bacterial infections.

· CHOCOLATE: Can be extremely inflammatory. Limit the amounts you ingest to occasional use only.

According to a recent article in Vogue Magazine, a round up of top skin specialists across the country identified the following substances as the most beneficial to skin. In a consensus, everyone, (including myself) recommends an excellent night moisturizer. This helps skin appearance and function by protecting its barrier function. Coconut oil may be effective for some while others require something much more hydrating and healing such as PlumpUP! Or BuildUP! Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and caprylic acid, retinoids and peptides help to rejuvenate skin in the night, the best time for skin rejuvenation.

To repair sun damage and wrinkles retinoids and antioxidants are extremely important. FIXUP! contains a plethora of those ingredients demonstrated to rebuild collagen and elastin naturally. Avoidance of the sun is also important while treating as is proper sun protection.

To resurface brown spots and discoloration avery strong Vitamin C based antioxidant compound is needed. BrightenUP! contains very high levels of C, E and Retinols for this purpose. Consistent use for 4 to 8 weeks as well as sun avoidance is paramount.

Stop in anytime for free samples or a brief skin assessment.
