Prescription Painkillers Kill More Americans Than Heroin & Cocaine Combined

Prescription Painkillers Kill More Americans Than Heroin & Cocaine Combined • According to a new report from Brandeis University, prescription painkillers -- opioid or narcotic pain relievers like Vicodin (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), Opana (oxymorphone), and methadone -- are now responsible for more fatal overdoses in the U.S. than heroin and cocaine combined. Should prescription drug addicts manage to get into detox before it’s too late, they also realize that detoxification is hard. "An epidemic of prescription drug abuse is devastating American families and draining state and federal time, money and manpower," Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said in a media statement about the study. "Law enforcement and health officials are doing heroic work and, thankfully, this report provides a road map to help them further." So police and health "officials" are the key to stopping what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called an epidemic of prescription painkiller deaths? Maybe there is another key factor, another proverbial elephant in the room that needs to be dealt with but that few, including those who wrote this report, want to acknowledge -- specifically, the doctors who prescribe these drugs in the millions and who have increasingly prescribed them for over a decade. Let's breakdown the new painkiller drug study's "road map." The report's primary conclusion is that "prescription drug monitoring programs should shift from a reactive to a proactive approach." It points out that most states have programs to curb abuse and addiction but that many don't fully analyze the data they collect. And the report explains how analyzing trend data can help law enforcement agencies identify "pill mills" that illicitly distribute prescription painkillers and how getting more doctors to participate in and utilize prescription drug monitoring programs (revealing patients who "doctor shop" to get multiple prescriptions) could reduce fatal prescription painkiller overdoses. But wait a minute. Is the so-called epidemic of prescription painkiller deaths really going to be halted primarily by more monitoring? Isn't the key for doctors to cut back on vastly over-prescribing these highly addictive and dangerous drugs in the first place? If you think these drugs aren't handed out too readily by MDs, consider this statistic: according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, enough prescription painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult around-the-clock for a month. Although many of these drugs ended up being misused or abused, the CDC also notes most of these pills were legitimately prescribed for a medical purpose. But narcotic and opioid drugs are not the only way pain can be relieved. While they may be the drugs of choice in extreme circumstances, other kinds of pain relief from less toxic drugs to natural therapies -- including acupuncture, yoga, chiropractic and exercise -- can often provide relief to countless pain sufferers without the danger of addiction and death. Bottom line: the dramatic increase in mortality and overdoses from prescription drugs is largely due to a vastly increased use of these drugs by doctors. In fact, between 1999 and 2010, the sales of these Big Pharma, highly addictive and potentially killer drugs increased four-fold. And while it is a terrible and sobering fact that, according to the CDC, about 15,000 Americans die from overdosing on prescription painkillers each year, let's put this tragedy in the larger perspective of the ongoing Big Pharma drug nightmare. The truth is, overdose deaths from painkillers are not the biggest drug problem in the US. Consider that 100,000 Americans die each year from their prescriptions due to known side-effects -- not because the doctor made a mistake and prescribed the wrong drug, or the pharmacist made a mistake in filling the prescription, or the patient accidentally took too much or overdosed on purpose.

Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonatea) CURES Cancer Medical Science Proves Value

Medical Science Proves Sodium Bicarbonate(Baking Soda) Cures Cancer
(Donald J. Porter Feb. 3, 2013- See DJP Protocol Below).

It is not a common day that a person's medical work is confirmed strongly. This year, 2013, medical scientists published vindication for Dr. Tullio, and others, which favor oral and transdermal use of bicarbonate instead of using it intravenously. It is not only vastly less expensive to use bicarbonate (baking soda) orally and transdermally in baths, etc., however it is safer and now proven to be effective. It is gratifying to have seen written and published Sodium Bicarbonate – Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment, along with my DJP Baking Soda Protocol and Vernon (Vito) Johnston's success with Baking Soda.

It is one of the rare medical reviews on the subject. I hope it is clear to everyone, after reading the research below from the mainstream of medical science, the importance of becoming familiar with bicarbonate medicine and what it can do for cancer, kidney and diabetic patients as well as for those seeking relief from the worst symptoms of most diseases along with important diet changes see Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. (I prefer Organic foods to minimize the chemicals from Packaged and Fast foods). “The results of this study suggest that tumor cells do, indeed, perform niche engineering by creating an acidic environment that is non-toxic to the malignant cells but, through its negative effects on normal cells and tissue, promotes local invasion.” The great advantage to using bicarbonate orally (reinforced by strong magnesium and bicarbonate baths) is that one can dose during all the waking hours and receive a full course of treatment in about ten days. Anyone can drive up their pH and saturate all their cells to a much higher extent through these methods. This is in contrast to Dr. Simoncini’s method that uses the blood for delivery and thus changing the pH is strictly limited by enforced blood parameters. Exactly how high the pH is driven up using bicarbonate orally can be controlled simply by using pH test strips and saliva and urine tests for accuracy. One can do this continuously for up to ten days keeping the optimal anti-cancer pH level constant. Using sodium and potassium bicarbonates (seawater offers a parallel reinforcing treatment) involves increasing oxygen/carbon dioxide levels, which increases oxygen levels as well as cell voltage—something not generally known or understood. This is the abstract for Dr. Robert J. Gillies and team from Wayne State University School of Medicine paper, “Acidity generated by the tumor microenvironment drives local invasion.”[1] The pH of solid tumors is acidic due to increased fermentative metabolism and poor perfusion. It has been hypothesized that acid pH promotes local invasive growth and metastasis. The hypothesis that acid mediates invasion proposes that H+ diffuses from the proximal tumor microenvironment into adjacent normal tissues where it causes tissue remodeling that permits local invasion. In the current work, tumor invasion and peritumoral pH were monitored over time using intravital microscopy. In every case, the peritumoral pH was acidic and heterogeneous and the regions of highest tumor invasion corresponded to areas of lowest pH. Tumor invasion did not occur into regions with normal or near-normal pH. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that cells in the invasive edges expressed the glucose transporter GLUT-1 and the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE-1, both of which were associated with peritumoral acidosis. In support of the functional importance of these findings, oral administration of sodium bicarbonate was sufficient to increase peritumoral pH and inhibit tumor growth and local invasion in a preclinical model, supporting the acid-mediated invasion hypothesis. In their discussions these researchers summarize the basic mechanisms of pH and cancer virility: The propensity of cancers to invade adjacent normal tissues contributes significantly to local tumor growth and formation of metastases, which are largely responsible for tumor-associated morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms by which tumor cells invade are complex and can be modified in response to environmental conditions. Due to increased glucose metabolism, H+ production and excretion are generally increased in cancers. This, combined with poor perfusion, results in an acidic extracellular pH in malignant tumors (pH = 6.5-6.9) compared to normal tissue under physiologic conditions (pH = 7.2-7.4). Cancer cells, because of their enhanced evolutionary capacity, develop adaptive mechanisms that allow them to survive and even proliferate in acidic environments. Extracellular pH of tumors is typically highly acidic, and this will inevitably result in acid diffusion into the surrounding stroma. We propose that the acidic pH of the tumor microenvironment represents a “niche engineering” strategy that promotes local invasion and subsequent in vivo growth of malignant tumors. Support for this model has come from recent observations that neutralization of the tumor derived acid with systemic buffers (e.g. bicarbonate, imidazole, lysine), can inhibit spontaneous and experimental metastases. My successes along with Vito's and MANY, MANY others in numerous countries & diet conditions has demonstrated that A TEMPORARY high pH (alkalinity) causes the death of cancer cells (not healthy cells as the increased oxygen levels from the temporary high Alkalinity/pH benefits other normal cells throughout the body ! Deep breathing, frequently during the day is also a benefit.. When your blood is acidic, the pH, or "potential" of Hydrogen (H+) is low, that is, there are hydrogen atoms that dissociate with it's related halogen. This causes your body, which continually regulates blood pH at a slight alkaline level, to release alkaline atoms from your bones (calcuim, magnesium, phosphorus.. etc) But when you ingest alkaline foods, the pH raises slightly, meaning, there is an influx of hydroxides (OH-) This does not trigger your bones to release its minerals. With regards to cancer, the modality of this "potential" of Hydroxide (pOH) seems to allow for even more of an oxygen rich environment. To which, cancer has a hard time dealing with, since it is doing anaerobic respiration through fermentation of glucose. The prevailing diets of America society seems to show that people who eat acidic foods contract cancer more often than those who eat alkaline foods. Acidic Foods - Meat eaters, bread, cereals, bacon, beef, cheese, chicken, eggs, fish, ham, lamb, liver, pork, veal, peanut butter, peanuts, popcorn, walnuts, sugars. Alkaline - Vegetarians, all fruits minus cranberries, plums, prunes, rhubarb, all vegetables minus (corn, lentils), fermented vegetables, milk, almonds, brazil nuts, chestnuts, coconut, molasses Contrary to the medical industry, I think there is many different ways to nutritionally combat cancer, for a quick list, Iodine, Cannabinoids, bicarbonate of soda and promote an alkaline body pH through a more vegetarian diet. If you want to drink a vegetable juice,. Or juice your own, preferably organic.

DJP Baking Soda Protocol – This creates a high pH (8+) thereby kills Cancer Cells, & has worked for me, 7  1/2 yrs., after following a modified “Plant Based ALKALINE Diet (Macrobiotic)” to restore/re-build my immune system, as Anyone Can !
Get Alkaline - Change Acidic Cell Environment.
I am not providing medical advice, simply “revealing my experiences & protocol”, resulting in eliminating Stage IV Metasticised cancer. I Did “NO” Chemo, NO Radiation, Minimum Drugs Require - 4mos. To change our blood - Do ORGANIC Plant Based Diet Alkaline-NO CHEMICALS AVOID Any forms of SUGAR-Eat Organic food-for about1 mo. then Initiate as follows: • 1st day- 1 Teaspoon of BS soda with & 1 cup room temp water 2x day (away from meals), 2 Teaspoons of Black Strap molasses (“BSM”) Heat @ “LOW” temp in pan for 5 min. STIR a lot to fully combine your sugar & BSM into “YOUR own Trojan Horse” to benefit your body -immune system. The molasses/maple syrup targets cancer cells (which consume 15X more glucose than normal cells) & the baking soda, (which is dragged into the cancer cell by the maple syrup/BSM), being very alkaline, is a rapid shift in pH thereby killing the cancer cells in hrs). We have 100 Trillion cells.
• 2nd day – repeat, also Do DEEP breathing- 30x, do 3-10x day . OXYGEN KILLS cancer cells
• 3rd day – same Cancer cells thrive on sugar so when you use sugar it’s like sending in “your own Trojan horse”. The sugar is “not” going to encourage the growth of the cancer colonies as the alkaline baking soda (9pH) is going to kill the cells before they have a chance to grow.
• 4th day – same 2X day goal get to 8.0 - 8.5 pH and hold 4-5 days and  cancer cells dormant @ pH 7.5+ and kills cancer cells @ 7.8-8.5. My pH was 8.53 on 3rd day with a blood/urine test. 
• 5th day - started taking the solution - 2 tspns BS and 2 Tsps BSM 2 day
• 6th day– repeat 2 Tspns BS and 2 Tspn of BSM and 1 cup of water 2x a day. My pH measured 8.35. That is what happens with cesium chloride/BS done by Italian Dr. Simoncini, mild nausea is good as it means the dead cancer cells are being discarded by your body. BREATHE DEEPLY !
• 7th – All ok - lips tingled- an Oxygen Euphoria from a lot deep breathing. Oxygen assists in killing ALL cancer cells! Also on day 7, increased BS to 2+ Tspns. and got a slight headache, backed off to 2 Tspns BS- I was a bit uncomfortable/nervous and had a slight headache, so I reduced it. I had slight confusion. Do 30+ DEEP breaths MANY times per day– VERY IMPORTANT Oxygen kills cancer cells
• 8th day – double dose 3x a day to get pH high- could some be health issues with too much BS Potassium 200+mg intake is IMPORTANT. Filtered water also.  Exercise/walk 30 min. daily.
• 9th day – A little diarrhea, a little weak feeling, really began to up my potassium intake. All experts said that high dosage of potassium (also with cesium chloride) is very important. Oxygenation euphoria all day from deep breathing. KILLING cancer cells most important ! Walk Barefoot on ground
• 10th day - Headache more persistent, body sweats SO- I cut back to a solution 2x a day not 3x. • 11th day – down to 1.5 Tspns to control headache, bit of loose stools, slight headache & night sweats. I cut back felt overloaded- 8.35 goal achieved -I wanted to maintain pH 8.0+ for 4-5 days.
  • Key Points: Take BS solution 2 hrs before or 2 hrs after eating, to give stomach acids time to digest food. Eat HIGH potassium organic foods Watch blood pressure-take Potassium. Calcium 1,200 mg Vit. D/D3 10,000 iu's, Astralagus, Filter Wtr Tumeric, Celery Seed Maitake d-fraction Potassium 200 mg, BREATHE Deeply. Turmeric, Astaxanthin, Sun Chlorella, Herbal ALOE Force, Magnesium Seek to maintain ORGANIC Alkaline Diet to let your Immune System rebuild from MANY years of harmful chemicals, etc, in Pkgd/Fast foods! Eat brown rice, oats, beans & lots of GREEN veggies, evening Primrose Oil some fruits, NO fruit w/cancer. Pay for Organic now or pay Drs. Later. Take Essiac Caps from True Canadian health product, Walk 30 min. daily. see donporter cancer • Room temp filtered water & Green teas- Kukicha, Bancha-Hojicha, Dandelion Root, Pu-erh, Essiac. • Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline (7.2 - 7.45). A pH below 7.0 is acidic. A pH above 7.4 is alkaline. NO Beer/Wine/Liquor, Drugs, Dairy/Butter, Sugars, Sodas, Table Salt, Pork/Bacon/ Poultry/Beef, Easy/NO fish & related-clams-muscles-lobster, etc. Be good to your immune system - It WILL be good to you with - ORGANIC Alkaline Food WASH ALL FOOD ! NO Overcooking! Acidic creates Cancer environment - Alkaline Environment KILLS cancer cells !
Jim Kelmun 75, (truck driver), treated 200+ terminal cancer sufferers, 185 lived @ least 15 years. Jim threatened with jail unless he stoped administering his remedy – as he has no medical degree! Jim’s Remedy – Maple Syrup & BS (Baking soda). Mix 1 part BS to 1-3 parts syrup. Heat LOW HEAT, stir rigorously in a pan for 5 min. 2 tspns per day 1st week, 1 tspn per day for 2 weeks. Stop Remedy after 3 weeks. CANCER CURE?
 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg, 2X Nobel Prize Winner PROVED that all forms of cancer are characterized by 2 basic conditions: acidosis & hypoxia (lack of oxygen). “Cancerous tissues are acidic, healthy tissues are alkaline. Cancer can't survive in an alkaline body or in Oxygen. All people with Cancer have a pH that is too acidic. High pH kills cancer cells ! 99% of terminal cancer victims are 1,000x more acidic than normal.

The Battle against the Cancer Industry

The Battle against the Cancer Industry -by Margaret B. Bermel, MBA

Most people accept the concept of chemotherapy unquestioningly, afraid to depart from conventional thinking. Dr. Ulrich Abel declared chemotherapy to be a “scientific wasteland,” and found that “at least 80% of chemotherapy administered throughout the world is worthless—but neither doctor nor patient is willing to give up on chemotherapy, even though there is no scientific evidence that it works.”

Dr. Gregory Foltz discovered that oncologists have been targeting the wrong cells in the treatment of brain cancer. Cancer stem cells cause the growth of cancer cells, and stem cells resist chemotherapy. Dr. Foltz explains that this is why “standard cancer treatments so often fail: those therapies target the wrong cells.” A survey of oncologists at McGill University Cancer Center found that 75% would refuse any type of chemotherapy, citing the “ineffectiveness of chemotherapy and its unacceptable degree of toxicity.”

A study conducted by Harvard researcher John Cairns showed that chemotherapy is “somewhat effective in only 2–3% of cancer patients, primarily those with the rarest kinds of cancer.” The new biotech companies recognize that conventional chemotherapy treatments do not work. The researchers are starting to “think outside the box,” shifting to a systems approach to solve the cancer problem. Why wasn’t this shift made years ago, after the failure of chemotherapy was first observed? The millions of failed trials as evidenced by the deaths of millions of people clearly indicate that the toxic method is erroneous. The chemo experiment is flawed because it does not compare the results of a treatment group taking chemotherapy to the results of a control group that does not take chemotherapy. Yet the cancer industry continues to cling to this “treatment,” ignoring its failure rate. Developed from the mustard gas used in the World Wars, chemo is experimental therapy embraced by mainstream medicine. Cancer patients are the unwitting guinea pigs, participating in a bad science experiment.

We have all been brainwashed into believing that chemo is the only option when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Until people question the basic premise of chemo, it will remain the knee-jerk reaction to cancer. “Big Pharma”, supported by the FDA, has developed a monopoly on the cancer industry. Natural substances can’t be patented and do not generate the billions of dollars that chemical substances do. Natural substances are viewed as a threat to the monopoly because they are inexpensive and effective. Consequently, any alternative natural treatments are systematically suppressed and discredited by the FDA. Once people understand that chemotherapy is about the money, people are empowered to make an informed health care decision. The FDA’s suppression of alternative cancer cures has led to the success of the monopoly, all in the name of protecting the public. In 1986, Mary Yevchak testified before Congress that she was forced to undergo nearly fatal chemotherapy treatment, and had to leave this country for the non-toxic treatment which cured her. Still, the cancer industry is pushing toxic treatments that do not work, and suppressing non-toxic treatments that do work. In 2011, my neighbor’s daughter travels to Germany for treatment, years after a U.S. cancer center told her she had just months to live. The cancer industry is on the wrong path, and people still have to leave this country for non-toxic cancer treatment.

Things have not changed in the approach to cancer, and things will not change until we demand change. American citizens should not have to leave this country to obtain medical treatment of their choice. Be inspired by the efforts of those who are fighting, not only cancer, but the larger battle against the cancer industry. Treatment should result in health, not death. How many people do you know who had chemotherapy and died? People must be offered the freedom to choose non-toxic treatments in this life and death decision. We need to question conventional thinking; we need a thought revolution to change the way we approach cancer.

How Flimsy, Manipulated Research Leads to more Harmful Pharmaceuticals

How Flimsy, Manipulated Research Leads to more Harmful Pharmaceuticals by Lisa Garber Jan 13th, 2013 | Updated 01/13/2013 . Read more: http://naturalsociety.com/how-flimsy-research-leads-to-harmful-pharmaceuticals-on-the-market/#ixzz2HxsUOAS8

From headaches to heartburn, anxiety to cancer, there’s a pharmaceutical for everything these days. Few of us really bother reading the long list of side effects before popping a few pills, and we don’t question our doctors or the so-called medicine for which they make us break the bank. We assume that they all mean well. Maybe they do. Even if that were true, it’ not working. Big Pharma Doesn’t Care About You

Pharmaceuticals are now responsible for more deaths (37,485 dead in 2009) in the United States than traffic fatalities. Nevertheless, the mainstream medical community calls alternative medicine “dangerous,” and the government is all too happy to share the profits in attempting to demonize natural foods like raw milk and their providers whilst reinforcing potentially dangerous—and often unnecessary—flu shots. Peer-reviewed research shows that the good old sunshine nutrient, vitamin D, is more effective as slashing risk of cancer, obesity, tooth decay, and the flu than popular pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration wants walnuts—which are high in omega 3 fatty acids and suspected of helping against breast cancer—to be labeled as “drugs.” According to the Alliance for Natural Health, the FDA is even looking to ban vitamin B6 supplements as we know it so Big Pharma—in this case, the company BioStratum—can patent and sell natural vitamin B sources. Neither the industry sector nor members of our government entangled in it are interested in saving the public or any public institution money (never mind lives). They care about padding their pockets, and poor government review and regulation processes as well as plain bad science are partly to blame for making their jobs easier. Manipulating Studies for the Bottom Line

Back in 2011, N. H. Goldberg co-authored a paper on the hoops drugmakers had to go through to get their drugs approved by the FDA between 2000 and 2010. As it turns out: not many. According to Ben Goldacre from The Guardian, only 70% of the 197 drugs approved between those years were shown to be “better” than existing treatments, even after considering the drugs for conditions there was no existing treatment. Moreover, the studies pharmaceutical companies fund and use to provide what little evidence the FDA requires range from being too specific to be used for drugs later administered to an over-generalized clientele (as in the case for a Finnish study fracture-prevention drugs) or downright misleading. (There’s a reason the Mayo Clinic admitted that the last 10 years of cancer research has been made useless by evidence of widespread fraud.)

“…for FDA approval, for example, you only need trials to show your drug is better than a placebo. That’s nice, but with most medical problems, we’ve already got some kind of treatment. We’re not interested in whether your drug is better than nothing. We’re interested in whether it’s better than the best currently available option.” Studies and statistics are kind of funny that way. They can be manipulated or framed a certain way and, voila, what was black is white, what saved lives is deadly. In the case of the Finnish study, 7,411 patients who had ever had a hip fracture were rounded up as they might have been for fracture-preventing bisphosphonate drug trials. Only 1,072 patients remained after the researchers dropped the others for being of a sex, age, and health condition other than what previous researchers would have called the desired, “freakishly ideal” patient. Are the drugs in question marketed toward women between 65 and 79 without osteoporosis after the trials? Not likely.

At the end of the day, modern medicine seems to be more often a matter of getting the desired results and short-term cost effectiveness, and less often about helping people. It’s up to us to change that.

CANCER FEEDS ON SUGAR & Acidic cells -- GET Alkaline

• HOW CANCER FEEDS ON SUGAR (and other big reasons to avoid refined sweets) Not only is sugar the primary source of excess calories in the United States, but the latest research also shows that cancer cells lap up high-fructose corn syrup, adding yet another reason to avoid it.

BEING ALKALINE causes more OXYGEN to go into your cells ! In 2010 researchers from the Univ of CALIF-Los Angeles found that pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and reproduce, debunking earlier assumptions that all sugars were the same. Tumor cells that were fed glucose and fructose used those sugars in two different ways, the research team said. 'Major significance for cancer patients' Their findings, which were published in the journal Cancer Research, could help explain earlier studies that have linked ingestion of fructose with pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. "These findings show that cancer cells can readily metabolize fructose to increase proliferation," Dr. Anthony Heaney of UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and colleagues wrote in 2010. "They have major significance for cancer patients given dietary refined fructose consumption, and indicate that efforts to reduce refined fructose intake or inhibit fructose-mediated actions may disrupt cancer growth," he said. Americans, much more than people in most other industrialized nations, consume an incredible amount of fructose, mainly high fructose corn syrup, which is a mix of fructose and glucose used largely in SODAS, bread and a host of other processed foods.

Incredibly, there is still no consensus among politicians, industry experts and some healthcare specialists over whether high fructose corn syrup and other sugary ingredients increase the nation's collective belt line (though Natural News readers and most reasonable people who don't grow corn for a living already know the answer to that "debate"). That's likely why there hasn't been more public education about the consequences of consuming fructose-heavy, processed foods. Tumor cells thrive on all sugars That said, some groups know the truth and have tried to speak it loudly. The American Heart Association, for example, says too much sugar of any kind will not only bust your belt but increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. And a number of states, including New York and California, have considered levying a tax on sugary sodas to help pay for patients suffering from obesity-related diseases and who are covered under government health insurance programs. But these taxes have been successfully opposed, for the most part, with the help of millions of dollars in lobbying money from interest groups who say sugar is sugar.

Heaney's team found otherwise, Reuters reported. During trials, they grew pancreatic cancer cells and fed them both glucose and fructose. The tumor cells thrived on both kinds of sugars but proliferated with fructose. "Importantly, fructose and glucose metabolism are quite different," the team wrote.

"I think this paper has a lot of public health implications. Hopefully, at the federal level there will be some effort to step back on the amount of high fructose corn syrup in our diets," Heaney said in a statement. Consumption of high fructose grew rapidly in the U.S. - by 1,000 percent - between 1970 and 1990, about the time the obesity epidemic began in earnest.

History of disease linked to sugary diets High fructose corn syrup has also been linked to other medical conditions and diseases: -- A diet high in corn syrup causes the body to produce excess uric acid, which worsens gout - a condition caused by high levels of uric acid - according to a study published in the March 2012 Journal of Nutrition. -- Researchers at the Duke Univ in N>C. said high fructose consumption can worsen non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by "depleting their store of critically important molecules called ATP, which provide liver cells (and other body cells) energy for important cellular processes, including metabolism," Science Daily reported. -- A study published in the Journal of Nephrology found that ingestion of "dietary fructose" worsens kidney disease by inhibiting intestinal calcium absorption and inducing vitamin D deficiency.

It’s no secret that the Mediterranean diet can help us achieve longevity, but the overall lifestyles of the region’s populace shouldn’t escape our attention. Tucked away in the Aegean Sea is a small, rocky island called Ikaria, where residents on average reach the age of 90. Here are a few island secrets of longevity researchers have picked up after years of studying the dreamy getaway. ANYONE can be healthy EAT quality, local, ORGANIC foods, & see below ! 1. Secrets of Longevity – Drink Herbal Tea The Ikarians love it. Many teas found on the island are mildly diuretic and help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of dementia. A few diuretic herbs are yarrow, dandelion, stinging nettle, and green tea. The health benefits of green tea are amazing, so this may be your first choice. 2. Take a Nap Like typical islanders, Ikarians don’t bother getting up—or opening up shop—earlier than they feel like it. Something as simple as an afternoon siesta can reduce your risk of cardiovascular problems including heart attack, and it can help you feel more energized and well-rested in the afternoon. 3. Eat fresh Vegetables

Among the obvious secrets of longevity, consuming vegetables is key, whether they be full vegetables or the more healthful microgreens. Ikaria boasts over 150 varieties of greens. Much of what the islanders eat, in fact, they grow themselves. As with the typical Mediterranean diet, this means very little meat and sugar and lots of vegetables, beans, and antioxidant-rich extra virgin olive oil. 4. Drink Goat’s Milk Unlike cow’s milk, goat’s milk is easier to digest and contains tryptophan, an amino acid that reduces stress. Goat cheese also contains vitamin D, although there’s plenty of that from the sunshine on this dreamy island. 5. Walk it Off When you live in a mountainous region like Ikaria, you walk—uphill—a lot. Besides, the islanders are rarely in a hurry to meet anyone, so when they agree to catch up over tea, they take a long, leisurely stroll to do so. 6. Dip into a Hot Spring Radium is a nasty word in America, but the Ikarians have sworn by radium-rich hot springs since the 4th century. Reduction in joint pain, stress, and skin irritation are often cited as benefits. 7. Just Dance Rather than chugging flavorless beer and going broke paying for sugar-laden mix drinks, Ikarians drink and eat in moderation, focusing on letting go of (what few) cares they have and simply enjoying each other’s company. This leads us to their final piece of advice… 8. Relax Reducing stress is slowly becoming more well known among the secrets of longevity and good health. Stress can greatly increase your risk of numerous diseases as well as dangerous behavior. Ask Ikarians what time it is. They probably won’t know—or care. It’s difficult to approach most work days with an Ikarian attitude, but learning basic stress reduction techniques can add years to your life. These can include exercise, meditation, yoga, tapping, or taking a fifteen-minute break to drink a sip of herbal tea. Here’s how to reduce and deal with stress.

Dr. Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize winner 1931 & friend of Albert Einstein, discovered the Cause of Cancer, which is an ACIDIC environment in the cells. All diseases require an Acidic environment to prosper. An Alkaline (or high pH) kills cancer cells. I utilized Dr. Otto Warburg's work along with The Hidden Story of Cancer by Prof. Brian Scott Peskin, Dr. William Kelley, & MANY other books, Blogs, Websites and articles (15,000 hours invested) to be able to create the success I experienced with Stage IV Metasticized Prostate Cancer, and given 3 yrs to live from a VA Dr., that was 5 1/2 yrs ago. I suggest that the Baking Soda Protocol will kill cancer cells after a pH of 8.0 is achieved.

I suggest reading Recalled By Life by Dr. Anthony Satillaro, Kamikaze Cowboy, Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., The China Study, Cancer: Curing the Incurable by D. William Donald Kelley etal, Ph Books & several Hundred others related (as I have). There is "What we know". There is "What we don't know". PROBLEM - There is "What we don't even know, that we don't know". Throw in opinions, beliefs, points-of-view, attitudes, positions, desire to be right, egos, greed, self serving & related & you have quite a formula for frustration. A pH of 7.8 to low or mid 8's, is said to be fatal to Cancer cells. I suggest, first strengthening Immune systems with a NO chemical diet, NO Fast or packaged foods, NO sugar, dairy, salt , sodas, etc The stronger Immune System can rebuild cells that have been eliminated with a high pH Alkaline diet and a Baking Soda Protocol.
