健康:想吃就吃 告别10大营养陷阱


 你总能在一些所谓“最新最快最权威”的科学报告、或者危言耸听的小报上看到专业警示,日复一日地告诫你:这不能吃、那不能吃,某些东西百害而无一利,比如油炸食物。直到你的脑子已经形成对特定美味的刻板印象,早早将它们拉入你的黑名单,但实际上真有那么可怕吗?其实,也不尽然。还是以油炸食物为例,如果方法适当,它也能成为健康食品,这可不是大话。告诉你,油炸食物绝对不是你应该长期红牌罚出局的垃圾食品。    

    与众多营养学家、大厨和食物科学家对话,精选关于食物的十大传统误区,还原所谓“垃圾食品”的真相,彻底根除储存在你脑子里的固有成见,让你在享用某些“禁食”时心情放松,毫无负罪感。

    误区1:永远别加糖
    
真相:喝的饮料、吃的菜里都不加糖热量就会降低?难! 
    糖是厨房里不可或缺的调料。且不说甜食、饮料和冰激凌,你不爱糖醋排骨、咕咾肉或者松鼠鳜鱼吗?你可要记住了,像“天然”蜂蜜说到底也算得上精加工的糖,被身体吸收后,它和普通糖释放的热量一样,大约每克4卡路里。在许多不太可口的健康食品中,糖也可以用来调味。所以,不用太做得太过了。健康专家的建议是:只要摄取的糖分的热量不超过总热量的10%即可,如果你每天摄取2000大卡热量,有200大卡来自糖分即算比较理想。
    
好消息:加点糖反而让你吃得更均衡。
    少少加点糖会让平淡酸涩的酸奶美味很多,会让你更加爱上鲜榨橙汁、西柚汁或者葡萄汁《全天然节食烹饪》作者杰奎琳·纽真特认为:“少少糖,让你开心地吸收更多更全面更健康的营养元素,何乐而不为?”
    你可以用这种美味提神的饮料,来自制一种简单的解暑圣品葡萄柚雪芭。记得加上一点糖,
  误区2:所有的饱和脂肪都会提高血液里的胆固醇
    
真相:最新研究显示,有些饱和脂肪不会。 
    前面刚提到,影响你血液中胆固醇水平的关键是饱和和反式脂肪,这一下是不是让你开始警惕,决心和这几种脂肪说拜拜?在你的传统概念里,只有单一脂肪和多不饱和脂肪是健康脂肪(例如:橄榄油和核桃),包括许多专业人士都一度认为:饱和脂肪全是坏脂肪。
  经过实验研究发现,饱和脂肪也有很多种,它们在被人体摄入之后也会有各种不同的反应。硬脂酸作为饱和脂肪,存在于可可、奶制品、肉类、家禽、棕榈油和椰子油中,这种饱和脂肪并不会提高有害的LDL(低密度脂蛋白)胆固醇,相反会增加有益的HDL(高密度脂蛋白)胆固醇的水平。
  
好消息:饱和脂肪:比你想的要好 
    你所爱的椰子和巧克力中都含有硬脂酸,这种饱和脂肪会增加你体内健康HDL胆固醇。因此,饱和脂肪没我们之前想得那么差。但这不是说WH要为硬脂酸签下通行证,因为不少含有硬脂酸的食物都热量偏高,而且这些热量大多来自脂肪。
    误区3:加盐意味着食物中钠含量增加。
    
真相:钠不是万恶之源。 
    现在美国提倡:培养凡食撒盐的进食习惯,尽管钠的口碑不算太好,它不只对高血压患者有不利影响,但许多人也忽略掉钠在食物中的关键作用。
    
好消息:在沸水中加盐,会让蔬菜变得更加营养。
    《食物与烹饪》一书的作者哈罗德·迈克基表示:“在沸水中加入盐,可以锁住其中蔬菜的营养元素,从而不流失到水中。”这就意味着你的花菜、四季豆和芦笋都更加营养。而且加盐能够加快烹饪过程,让你的蔬菜不会因为烹调过度而营养流失。
    误区4:油炸食物脂肪永远过量。
    
真相:过度油炸可以是健康食物,这不是笑话。 
    说真相之前,先来看看油炸究竟是怎么一回事:食物被扔在热滚滚的油里,食物中的水分慢慢煮沸并被挤出来,慢慢流入油中。等到水分炸干,就会自然形成一层保护,让食物吸收最少量的油。同时,一部分油在渗入食物中的过程中形成一层脆脆的皮。
    为了避免让食物一直浸泡在油里,请根据以下方法制作。对大部分食物来说,375华氏度最为理想。油温太低更容易吸收脂肪。你做天妇罗时,如果油温偏低,只会让这份美味变得油乎乎而难以下咽——本来只需要1/3杯油,结果却生生吸走1杯。所以,油温可得盯死了。最后,在吃之前,将刚捞起锅的食物用纸巾吸掉表面的油,就会又健康一点点了。
    注意:为油炸食物说好话,可不是要你晚餐变成炸鸡加大薯条。因为这样一餐,其中含有的热量和钠已经超过你整天所需。
    
好消息:油炸鲶鱼和玉米饼都是好东西。
    不过作为一种偶尔食之的东西,油炸食物也可以很健康。只不过一定要适量,且与蔬菜搭配着来吃。在油的选择上也需慎重:低饱和脂肪是重要标准——比如花生油、黄豆油、菜籽油,并且按照WH教你的方法一步步地来处理,会让你的油炸食物达到最健康状态。在家里自制,WH咨询专家建议,认为油炸鲶鱼或者玉米饼都是美味又相对健康的选择。

    误区5:纤维吃得越多越好。
     
真相: 并不是所有的纤维都有益身体健康。要看来自哪里了。 
     酸奶本身并不含有纤维,但现在各家品牌都在推出各类粗粮口味酸奶,甚至其他饮料也在强调自己含有丰富的纤维素,为什么会这样?
     纤维确实在当下打得火热,食品生产商们甚至开发出不同类型的纤维,添加到各种加工食品中以迎合市场的营养需求。但从专业科学的角度来说,事实并没那么简单:就好象到最后你会发现脂肪也有好有坏,研究发现,纤维亦会树大有枯枝。
     你应该知道不同的纤维有不同的功能(麦麸能够加快新陈代谢;燕麦能够降低胆固醇;菊粉刺激健康肠道寄生菌)。之前有研究认为,所谓的人工纤维和天然纤维(如全麦食品、蔬菜、水果和豆类食品)并没有太大差别,对人体一样有益,但现在许多营养学家对此持有怀疑态度。
     
好消息:全天然纤维食物让你觉得饱足,不易饥饿。
     最新调查研究显示,大多数人每天所摄入的健康纤维才达到人体所需的一半,加工食物中的纤维并不能算数。因为,大部分加工食品都缺乏维生素、矿物质和各种营养元素。因此,摄入高纤维的全天然食物才是王道。

     误区6: 吃鸡一定要去皮
     
真相: 你可以尽情享受一顿带皮的鸡肉大餐,而不用担心摄入过多的饱和脂肪。 
     总算白肉是可以尽情享受的美味了,却听说鸡皮最好别吃——要知道,烤鸡最大的乐趣便来自香脆可口的金黄色鸡皮,入口即化的感觉你一定难忘。但是不少大厨、营养专家却会不识时务地站出来扫人兴致:只有去皮的无骨鸡胸肉才能提供健康的蛋白质。但是,WH想请你放心,研究显示,带皮鸡肉中多余的饱和脂肪只有用显微镜才能勉强看得出来。大概340克带皮带骨鸡胸肉含有2.5克饱和脂肪,比一样大小的去皮鸡胸肉不过多出50大卡热量。
    
好消息:你时不时尽管享受带皮鸡肉。
     鸡胸肉永远都是纯瘦肉(无论带皮不带皮),而且鸡皮上55%的脂肪都是健康的单一不饱和脂肪,美国烹饪学院项目主任艾米·梅尔达·米勒表示,这种脂肪可以保护你的心脏。
     所以如果你已经厌倦去皮鸡肉、无骨鸡胸肉,就放心大胆去吃德州扒鸡之类的,不用去皮那么辛苦,白肉本来就很健康。
    误区7.吃鸡蛋会提高胆固醇 
     
真相:食物里的胆固醇和你身体里的胆固醇没有关系 
     之所以会有种种的误会,全都要怪同名同姓,都叫胆固醇,但其实根本是两码事。食物胆固醇存在于类脂肪的原子中,一般存在于和动物有关的食物中,例如鸡蛋,然而它对你血液中的胆固醇没有太大影响。你的身体会制造自己的胆固醇,无需外界提供。真正刺激你身体制造胆固醇的是饱和和反式脂肪。鸡蛋中的饱和脂肪含量相对较低,一只大鸡蛋中只含有1.5克饱和脂肪,只不过是一汤勺黄油中的一小部分。因此,贸贸然将鸡蛋请出餐桌不利健康,也无法预防胆固醇提高,反而与一个能提供13种维生素和矿物质的好东西擦肩而过。
     
好消息:没有坏蛋,只有好蛋。
     知道了鸡蛋中的胆固醇与你血液中的胆固醇毫无瓜葛,所以放心大胆在早餐、午餐和晚餐中食用鸡蛋吧!伊利诺伊大学,食物与人类营养学院荣誉教授多恩·莱曼表示,对健康人群进行调查研究发现,人们不会因为摄入鸡蛋而刺激血液类脂化合物产生,也不会引起患心脏病的风险。
    误区8: 加热了的橄榄油营养价值会打
     
真相: 就算是精制特纯油在烹调时也不会失去原有的营养价值。
     自从橄榄油被认定为一种健康脂肪之后,这种误会便一直存在。许多人认为如果用橄榄油炒菜,它的营养成分也会随之流失,这绝对不是事实。
     首先,保护心脏的单一不饱和脂肪并不会受温度的影响,即便是用以煎炸其营养价值也丝毫不受动摇。最近,有研究显示,决定橄榄油香味的一些植物性化合物,和它的营养成分一样,不会在烹饪过程中流失。这些元素都异常稳定,只要油温没有高到变成油烟的程度,精制特纯橄榄油的这个临界点应该是405华氏度。
    
好消息:橄榄油很耐热
     只要烹调橄榄油的温度没有超过变成油烟的界限(405华氏度),它的味道和营养结构都会保持不变。关键在于你如何储存橄榄油,用玻璃瓶装,室温避光保存,脂肪和植物营养素的保质期可以达到两年。温度、阳光和空气流通会影响到稳定性。WH的建议是,你最好在室温的食橱里存放橄榄油,开瓶后半年内食完最好。

    误区9:只有红酒才对心脏有益 
    
真相:啤酒、白酒或者其他酒精饮料都有可能有益健康。 
    所谓“法国悖论”(美食天堂里永远没胖子)为红酒在健康界的传奇地位无疑做出巨大贡献,研究者们曾深信不疑,正是红酒中的抗氧化剂让沉迷鹅肝和芝士的法国人免受心脏病困扰。
    
好消息:乙醇能提高健康胆固醇水平
    但是,最近越来越多研究发现,抗氧化剂并不是答案。哈佛大学公共健康学院,营养学副教授埃里克·里姆表示,酒精,即乙醇本身可以提高健康HDL胆固醇水平,这种胆固醇可以防止动脉中血小板的增长,从而防止血块凝结引发的心脏病、中风。换言之,任何含有酒精的饮料,只要享用适度(一天小饮1-2杯),都能防止心脏病。

    误区10: 有机食品更加健康。
    
真相:有机食品和传统食品在营养价值上没有区别。 
     如果你积极购买有机食物,是因为你坚信,可持续发展的种植方式会让土壤更健康从而种植出来更健康的食物、或吃有机饲料长大的家禽会更美味。伦敦卫生及热带医学学院对迄今为止大部分有机食物进行全面研究发现,这一切都不一定与营养丰富挂钩。
    
好消息:有机食物目前价格偏高,只要你能认真洗菜,就能用更少的钱吃到一样有营养的蔬果。
    该医学院的结论是,传统和有机食物、有机饲养的家禽在营养价值上并无太大差别。你非要把胡萝卜改名叫做小白菜,但它其实还是胡萝卜。只不过传统种植物中会有过多杀虫剂和化学添加剂,所以洗菜的时候要格外留神。

Top 10 Acne Cures & Remedies

Acne is a disease of the skin, which is caused by changes in the structure of a persons skin. Acne is common amongst people in puberty and is widely considered to be a reaction to the hormone known as testosterone. Acne tends to reduce or even disappear in individuals once they reach their twenties. Although this is common knowledge to some, here are some top tips to help you if you are suffering with this condition: -

1) Reduce Your Coffee Intake - Coffee may encourage acne and zits to pop up; so it's a good idea to limit how much you drink as a precautionary measure.

2) Improve Your Diet - Your skin, like anything in the human body, benefits from a good diet. Make sure you get a good intake of micronutrients from fruit and vegetables.
antibacterial wash3) Cleanse Your Skin - Especially during stressful times as this makes your acne condition flare up. Try to clean your pores at least twice a day with an anti-bacterial face wash.

4)Cut Down Or Stop Smoking - Smoking is statistically proven in studies to worsen the effects of acne.

5) Introduce Acne Products Gradually - When you first choose an acne product, only use the cleanser initially or your body may 'react' to the sudden use of more than one product all at once. If you don't do this, you may aggravate your acne condition for a number of days.

6) Shampoo More Regularly - If you have acne along your hairline or on your forehead. This type of acne is due to a build up of fatty acids.

7) Exercise Regularly - Exercise reduces stress and increases oxygen to the skin, which may help reduce acne.

8) Shower After Workouts - Take a shower after you have exercised, as sweat in conjunction with the oils in your skin can trap dirt and bacteria.

9) Remove Makeup Before Sleeping - Don't go to bed with makeup on. This also clogs your skin pores and can make your acne worse.

10) Drink Water - Drink several glasses of water a day to flush out the toxins in your body and skin.
There's an entire skin care management system called Acnezine that finds the source of your acne and not only heals the blemishes you have, but also treats future outbreaks that you don't even see yet. It eliminates spots, pimples, redness, blackheads and whiteheads safely and also works to cleanse the entire body.
And, of course, there is common sense - get enough sleep, and don't pick at your scars, because that can introduce bacteria into the area. Good personal hygiene and washing your face with a gentle cleanser will also help soothe angry skin.
For pimples that are persistent, ask your dermatologist for an antibiotic solution to be applied to the surface of the skin or an oral antibiotic. Using antibiotics as acne treatment functions to suppress bacterial growth thereby reducing the recurrence of persistent acne. 

Healing with Honey and Cinnamon


Warning!  Honey should never be given to a child under the age of 12 months.

"And your Lord inspired the bee, saying:  'Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.  Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you).'  There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men.  Verily, in this indeed a sign for people who think." (An-Nahl 16:68-69)
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said:
"Healing is in three things: cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization, (branding with fire) but I forbid my followers to use cauterization (branding with fire)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
A man came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, "My brother has some abdominal trouble." The Prophet (SAW) said to him:  "Let him drink honey." The man came for the second time and the Prophet said to him, 'Let him drink honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet said, "Let him drink honey." He returned again and said, "I have done that ' The Prophet then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured. (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

It is found that mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures many diseases.
Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.
Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a Ram Ban (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients also.
A famous magazine named Weekly World News published in Canada dated 17 January, 95 has given a list of diseases that can be cured by Honey and Cinnamon as researched by western scientists.

Arthritis

Take one part honey to two parts of luke warm water and add a small teaspoon of cinnamon powder, make a paste and massage it on the itching part of the body slowly. It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or two.
Or arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
If drunk regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research done at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon. Honey and half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week out of the 200 people so treated practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

Hair Loss

Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min and then wash the hair.  Also found very effective if kept for only 5 minutes.

Bladder Infections

Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of luke warm water and drink it. It destroys the germs of the bladder.

Toothache

Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be done 3 times a day daily till such time that the tooth has stopped aching.

Cholesterol

Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, if given to a cholesterol patient, it reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours.
As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day any chronic cholesterol is cured.
As per the information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complains of cholesterol.

Colds

Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon luke warm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days.
This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

Influenza

A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

Infertility

Yunani and Ayurvedic have been using honey for years in medicine to strengthen the semen of men. If impotent men regularly take two tablespoon of honey before sleeping, their problem will be solved. In China, Japan and Far-East countries, women who do not conceive and to strengthen the uterus have been taking cinnamon powder for centuries.
Women who cannot conceive may take a pinch of cinnamon powder in half teaspoon of honey and apply it on the gums frequently throughout the day, so that it slowly mixes with the saliva and enters the body.
A couple in Maryland, America had no children for 14 years and had left hope of having a child of their own.  When told about this process husband and wife started taking honey and cinnamon as stated above, the wife conceived after a few months and had twins at full term.

Indigestion

Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food, relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
Subhana-Allah this REALLY works. - Sister Asma@TheMuslimWoman.com

Upset Stomach

Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomachache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

Gas

According to the studies done in India & Japan, it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

Heart Diseases

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast.
It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that due to the increasing age the arteries and veins which lose their flexibility and get clogged are revitalized.

Immune System

Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.

Old Age

Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly arrests the ravages of old age. Take 4 spoons of honey, 1 spoon of cinnamon powder and 3 cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 times a day. A person 100 years old, starts performing the chores of a 20 year old.

Pimples

Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root. It keeps the skin fresh and soft.

Skin Infections

Eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections are cured by applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts.

Weight Loss

Daily in the morning, 1/2 hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup water. If taken regularly it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also drinking of this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

Cancer

Recent research in Japan and Australia has reveled that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month 3 times a day.

Fatigue

Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful than detrimental to the body strength. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon power in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr.Milton who has done research says that half tablespoon honey taken in one glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts decreasing, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

Bad Breath

People of South America, first thing in the morning gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. So their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Cancer Killer Fruit..!

Please read about this miracle fruit that can kill cancer cells 100,000 times, more effective than chemo that gave you side effects.

Guyabano,... The SourSop Fruit

The SourSop or the fruit from the Graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.
Why are we not aware of this?

Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some soursop juice yourself as prevention from time to time.

The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects.

If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The Next Time You Have A Fruit Juice, Ask For A SourSop.










How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called Graviola in Brazil , Guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "Soursop" in English.

The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects.

Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest.

This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.


Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple:

Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival.

The Future Has Never Looked More Promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections

* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life.


The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's!

What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing...

Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including Colon, Breast, Prostate, Lung and Pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.

It Does Not Harm Healthy Cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched-- so why haven't you heard anything about it?


If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--

why doesn't every single Oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--

and for many, our very lives are controlled by money and power.

Graviola- -the plant that worked too well

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds- -have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties-- and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients.

If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back.

Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.

There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.

Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team

whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.

Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle Unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.

Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious.....

....The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.

The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...

Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials- the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's value- -were ever initiated..


A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin.. ."

....The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

...A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...

Seven Years Of Silence Broken--it's Finally Here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .

The full Graviola Story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond Chemotherapy:

New Cancer Killers, Safe As Mother's Milk,

a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer.


>From breakthrough cancer and heart research and revolutionary Amazon Rainforest herbology to world-leading anti-aging research and nutritional medicine, every monthly Health Sciences Institute Member's Alert puts in your hands today cures the rest of America --including your own doctor-is likely to find out only ten years from now.



For your information.....  

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY ....

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

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, gastro-intestinal 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.

WHAT 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 colour. 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 become putrified 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 (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc..) to enable the body's 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, unforgiveness 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.

Calcium Supplements Don’t Build Strong Bones by Al Sears, MD

Dear Health Conscious Reader,

Don’ t waste your money on calcium supplements.

If you’re taking them hoping to build strong bones and avoid osteoporosis you’ll be let down on both fronts.

Doctors and drug companies push the idea that the best way to treat and prevent osteoporosis is by taking lots of calcium. This simply isn’t true.

Osteoporosis isn’t caused by a lack of calcium.

Studies come to the same conclusion: calcium intake does not prevent fractures due to bone loss.

v   The Harvard Nurses’ Study is one of the most complete and well-conducted studies in science. The study followed 77,761 nurses. For 12 years, researchers examined the association between dietary calcium and bone fractures.

Results showed there was no protection from fractures with any dose of calcium intake. Nurses who had the highest calcium intakes actually had an increased risk of bone fracture.1

v     An Australian study confirms the result of the Harvard Nurses’ Study. This study also looked at the
      association between calcium and fracture risk. The study looked at lifetime calcium consumption in over 400 elderly participants. The study concluded that calcium consumption in early adulthood actually increased the risk of bone fractures as the person aged.2

v  Doctors in the UK found that calcium and vitamin D did not prevent fractures.3 Their two-year study showed that neither calcium nor vitamin D lowered the number of fractures in women over age seventy. 

So, what controls bone loss? Hormones and exercise.

Bone building is hormonal. In women, estrogens are the main regulators of bone health and breakdown. Progesterone controls the rate of new bone deposition. But the most powerful bone builder in both men and women is testosterone. Testosterone is central for achieving maximal bone mass and strength.

Taking calcium supplements will give you a short-term boost in bone density, but that’s it. Over time, your hormones will work against the extra calcium and actually leave your bones more brittle than before.

Consider this: The US has the highest intake of calcium, yet our rates of osteoporosis are the highest in the world. Countries with lower intakes of calcium have lower rates of hip fracture and osteoporosis.4

Maintaining healthy levels of hormones in your body is one way to keep your bones strong.
There is an easy and inexpensive hormone precursor shown to improve the levels of other sex hormones. It’s called DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). It is involved in the manufacturing of most major sex hormones in the body, like estrogen and testosterone. DHEA treatments are becoming more common.

You can get it over the counter but I don’t advise anyone take DHEA without having their blood levels checked. You will have to ask your doctor to measure it.

Physical inactivity will also lead to weakening of your bones. Your bones need to bear weight in order to become strong. When you do weight bearing activities, you are telling your bones that they must become strong in order to continue these activities.

You do this by encouraging them to push more weight. Challenging your muscles and bones with weight bearing exercises is crucial. Walking, cycling, weight training or playing tennis or golf will help.

In spite of what you hear on TV, calcium supplements have little to do with the strength of your bones. If you want strong bones for life, here are six things you can do right now:

v    Exercise: The best to increase bone density and reduce fractures is body weight exercises (like calisthenics) and resistance training. Make a habit of doing these exercises two or three times a week. Thirty minutes of walking a day will lower your risk of fracture by 30 percent.4

When you exercise, your muscles pull on your bones. This pressure creates a challenge that your body responds to by increasing bone density. This will ensure that you stay mobile and independent.

v   Skip calcium supplements: Get your calcium in your diet. Eat a variety of small fish, dark, leafy green vegetables, almonds and cashews, or dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt. You should be aiming for about 400 mg per day.

v   Take a vitamin D supplement: I recommend 400 IU per day. It helps your body absorb calcium and maintain bone density. Without vitamin D, calcium supplements are worthless. The best source of vitamin D is the sun – 10 to 15 minutes of exposure a day should be enough. During the winter, take cod liver oil. It’s by far the best supplemental source of vitamin D.

v   Eat your greens: Vitamin K found in dark leafy greens regulates calcium while stabilizing bones in addition to regulating blood clotting. Eat at least one serving of green vegetables like spinach, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts or broccoli every day. One study found people eating just 0.1 milligrams of vitamin K daily (about one large serving of greens) were 30% less likely to break their hips than people who ate less than that amount.

Another university study showed that vegetables and herbs improve your bone metabolism. Researchers found that rats that missed out on their veggies had much lower bone density.5 Another showed that fruits and vegetables increase your bone density. The same study found that dairy products did nothing.6

v   Eat foods rich in B-complex vitamins: Your body also uses a variety of B vitamins in bone building. The best sources are liver, eggs, lean meats, yeast, fish, raw nuts, asparagus, broccoli and bananas.

v   Get a blood test: A simple blood test will tell you how your hormone levels affect your bone health. This is the best way to determine the health of your bones and your risk for fracture. Women may need to take natural progesterone. For both men and women testosterone is the most powerful controller of your bone density.

To arrange for your own blood test, talk to your doctor. Or contact Quest Diagnostics at 1-800-377-8448 for a location near you. If you can get to Florida, call my office at 561-784-7852.

To Your Good Health,

Why Drink Coconut Water??

CocoWater is naturally:
>
Low in Carbs
> 99% Fat Free
>
Low in sugars



"It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak." In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers.Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.
         ·      Coconut Water is more nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol.
         ·      Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice - Much lower calories.
         ·      Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk - It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk.
         ·      Coconut water is naturally sterile - Water permeates though the filtering husk.
         ·      Coconut water is a universal donor - Its identical to human blood plasma.
         ·      Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood.
         ·      Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.
"Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural", according to Mortin Satin, Chielf of the United Nation's Food & Agriculture Organization.
        ·      Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks.
        ·      Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg.
        ·      Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.
Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.

Data is based on a 100ml drink
