Are EMFs Damaging Your Health?

February 3rd, 2011 · · Environment, Health, News, Opinion One comment - Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Dr Ollie Johansson PhD is from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute. Having met with scientists from around the world and debated peer reviewed papers he has announced, as Chair of the Seletun Scientific Committee, that agreement has been reached amongst them that governments should reduce the amount of EMF electromagnetic field exposure acceptable. Common sources of these are mobile phones and mobile phone masts, wireless devices and wi-fi networks, DECT phones and now health ignorant governments are rolling out utility ‘smart’ meters which blanket whole neighbourhoods in EMFs. Scientists warn that potentially millions are exposed to conditions which could cause cancer, neurological and reproductive issues.

In particular, pregnant women and young children should be especially protected.

Announcing this unusual and hugely important consensus of opinion amongst top international scientists, Dr Johannson made this video statement:

In the UK, Powerwatch have said they will give more technical details later today as information comes.


Serrapeptase – Instructions for Use

July 26th, 2010 · · Health, Product Launches No comments - Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

The following are the guidelines provided Good Health Naturally regarding the use of their Serrapeptase products including Blockbuster AllClear. They are provided  here in full for our customer’s reference:

The Basics

Whatever you are trying to acheive with Serrapeptase, the golden rule is: the greater the activity rating (IU), the faster the results.

Serrapeptase is suitable for vegans and does not contain any animal products.

Serrapeptase is produced in large tanks in the laboratory (not from silkworms).

Serrapeptase is safe for everyone, as there are no known side effects. There is no drug interaction with Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is therefore safe to take with prescribed medications.

Most people begin to see benefits within a couple of weeks, but others may need a month or so, depending upon what their specific health issues are. To be fair, give yourself at least two months.

To answer the most common next question: No, Serrapeptase does not thin the blood. It does, however, help prevent blockages forming due to ‘sticky’ blood (which is in fact caused by inflammation).

Golden Rules

 

  1. Always take Serrapeptase on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes or at least 2 hours after a meal.
  2. Preferred times for taking Serrapeptase are upon waking, mid afternoon, and/or before going to bed
  3. Always take Serrapeptase with an 8oz (1/2 pint) glass of water.
  4. You may continue taking any prescribed medication because there is no drug interaction with Serrapeptase. What our customers often find is that their doctors take them off various medications since their bodies no longer require them
  5. You can take Serrapeptase continuously without diminished results or experiencing any side effects and Serrapeptase is ideal for long term use for healthy maintenance and prevention.
  6. Both the tablets and capsules are enteric coated and are best taken whole. However for children (over the age of one) and those with severe swallowing difficulties, you can crush the tablet or break open the capsule and mix the powder with a small amount of water and honey
  7. To make swallowing easier, lean forward as far as possible as this opens the throat
  8. Serrapeptase is very effective for dogs, cats and horses and they may be given the same doses as humans for best results. Give Serrapeptase to them in the same way as you would normally give them a tablet. Again, you can break open a capsule and mix it with a small amount of something they will enjoy (but not meat or protein)
  9. For throat problems chew a tablet or break open a capsule and chew the powder, then let it slowly move down the throat. Add honey for extra comfort.
  10. Can I continue to take Glucosamine and other joint support nutrients? Yes, as they perform a different function and will help to accelerate your results.

There is more detail on Serrapeptase and Blockbuster AllClear on their respective product listing pages.


What You Put Down The Drain Comes Back To Haunt You

July 6th, 2010 · · Alternatives, Environment, Health, Opinion No comments - Tags: , , , , , ,

There’s only so much water on Earth and we’re taught from school how to evaporates to form rain that then falls on the Earth and flows back to the seas. So what happens when you add millions of humans dumping their waste into that system? Marine biologist Stephen Palumbi shows how toxins at the bottom of the ocean food chain find their way into our bodies, with a shocking story of toxic contamination from a Japanese fish market in this fascinating and compelling TED talk:

The most obvious place for us to start is cleaning up our own waste. We can look to use ecological alternatives at home such as replacing bleach with a bio-degradable alternative. There are lots of ethical cleaning products available so it’s not much of a chore to find them and prices are continuously getting better as more and more consumers support the movement towards sanity in sanitation.

If you are finding that your body has become weakened then taking a detoxification course can be highly beneficial. The most important places to begin your cleanse are the colon followed by the liver and in that order. Why? The colon is the primary route by which toxins are released from the body. If it’s fully functioning, it’ll help deeper cleansing so a colon cleanse using either Oxy-powder for a gentle programme or bentonite clay for a more involved and deeper detox is the foundation.

The liver is one of the places the body is fond of holding toxins since here it can hold them without letting the body be overcome. Of course it typically is at great cost and lowers the energy levels of the host whilst opening the doorway for further problems to enter. One way of cleansing the liver is to use coffee enemas. These cause the liver to purge out toxins which are then released along with the liquid down the toilet and many people note a big shift in energy levels after completing a coffee enema detox.

Naturally, in order to do a coffee enma liver detox, the colon needs to be clear, hence the reason we recommend a colon detox first.

The most important thing is not to give up trying. Pollute less, avoid sources of contamination and take regular detoxes and you’ll soon realise why a clean life is too good not to not be fighting for.


Thoughts from Dr Brian Clements

June 29th, 2010 · · Alternatives, Events, Health, Reviews No comments - Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Dr Brian Clements PhD LNC runs the world renown Hippocrates Health Institute. The Hippocrates Health Institute was co-founded by Ann Wigmore (1909 to 1994) who pioneered treatment of cancer having cured herself using natural methods.  We’re proud to support that to this day through education and distribution of some of the LifeGive health formulas from Hippocrates Health Institute.

Much of Dr Clement’s wisdom comes from his daily work with terminally ill patients having taken over the helm from Ann Wigmore sometime earlier and his annual talk in London is always full of insight. Big thanks go to The Fresh Network for organising it. Here are a few of the gems we picked up from attending:

  • Irradiated foods will permanently damage your chromosomes and DNA. That includes Micromeals so do stay away from the microwave. Incidentally, in the former Soviet Union, microwaves were banned due to their track record of increased cancer. This law was disbanded after capitalism came to the country and Russia now enjoys a much higher cancer rate.
  • 90% of cancers cured by Allopathic medicine recur.  This might sound shocking and yet it’s pretty obvious that if you don’t treat the cause of a problem it’ll keep on coming. It’s all very well giving someone chemotherapy but if they keep smoking or doing other toxic habits, the illness just comes back somewhere else
  • Children born today are now having a shorter life expectancy than their parents. This difference – on average 5 years – is attributable to the build up of toxicity in the environment. All that nuclear waste dumped at sea isn’t going away fast. Nor are the chemicals poured down drains, nor the plastics and petrol fumes burned into the air. It’s now a fact that even in the North Pole there is DDT and other toxic chemicals. These are causing hormonal development issues for many life forms, particularly larger life forms like Polar bears.
  • Everything was organic up to World War II. Polyester is nowadays sold as  microfibre since it’s not popular under it’s original name. Manmade fibres give of hormone disrupting chemicals as strong as the day they were made even after 10 years and thousands of washes.
  • Fake estrogens (xenoestrogens) both feminise males and masculinise females. Affecting your sexual preference and/or gender identity is one thing; more seriously they are implicated in a host of degenerative illnesses since a properly performing endocrine (or hormonal) system is vital for health. If your hormones become blocked, other functions in the body that should be triggered by them become troubled.

Most importantly, Dr Clements said the following:

Strong and healthy people talk back. Weak and unhealthy people can’t.

Today, health and the environment affect everyone. As Dr Vernon Coleman states in his book, How to avoid your doctor killing you, we have at least a 1 in 3 chance of getting cancer and if the rate continues, it’ll soon be 1 in 2. That’s 50-50. How many others will be affected by transgenderism, infertility, developmental disorders in their children or the host of other issues lined up against us? On top of that, everyone is being affected by the effect these same toxins are having on wildlife and the eco-systems they create.

Now is the time for us to stand up. Your daily choices make a difference. Could you avoid using bleaches and switch to non-polluting alternatives? Can you support the organic trade by clothing yourself in fashions that aren’t harmful? Will you make a conscious effort to say no to goods made of plastic that could be made of natural materials like glass, wood or metal?

You may be the unknown soldier who’s story is never told, but now is the time to be strong. Your actions make the difference whether or not anyone sees or cares. Most importantly, at least you won’t be one of the many who don’t care simply because they’re to weak and unhealthy to make the difference.


What I Would Do If I Had Cancer – Dr Vernon Coleman

June 22nd, 2010 · · Alternatives, Health, Opinion 2 comments - Tags: , ,

We recently posted a video by Kevin Gianni about what would you do if you had cancer and featured an insight from William Li who spoke on can we eat to starve cancer at TED. Following on this theme, we’re featuring a few extract from the writing of Vernon Coleman.

For those of you not familiar with Vernon Coleman, here’s a quick introduction. He used to be a GP and went on to be the first television doctor on British breakfast TV. He’s subsequently gone on to write many books including a novel which was turned into a film. Below are a few choice extracts from one of his most famous titles “How to stop your doctor from killing you“. We highly recommend reading it. The following extracts from chapter 34 – what I would do if doctors told me I had cancer, are included to provoke some thought.

“I have a one in three chance of being told one day that I have cancer. And you face the same odds. Actually the odds are getting worse. If the incidence of cancer continues to rise at the same rate at which it has risen for the last few years then within a decade or so one in two of us will hear those frightening words – or whichever euphemism our doctor feels most comfortable with”

….

“I would want to take some control over my own destiny by following a combination programme that would combine the healing powers of my body and mind.”

“And because I would undoubtedly be shocked and frightened (and possibly not too capable of rational thought) it seems to me sensible to make some plans now. It is a lot easier to be rational and logical about an emotional issue like cancer while you are feeling fit and healthy. It seems to me to make more sense to prepare for this eventuality now – rather than at a time when I might be frightened and shocked to know what to do. I have planned for my old age (in case I am too frail and weak to work and earn a living). It seems to me to make equally good sense to plan for the possibility that I may just one day develop cancer. I may never need to use my cancer plan – just as I may never need to use my retirement plan. But it is good to know that they are there.”

What an absolutely brilliant point. Dr Vernon Coleman’s book “How to stop your doctor from killing you” is available from Amazon and tells you what he would do. What would you do? Tell us how you’d plan to deal with it.


Blockbuster Allclear Testimonial

June 15th, 2010 · · Health, Reviews One comment - Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We recently got the following review of serrapeptase and anti-inflammatory enzyme formula, Blockbuster Allclear from Robert Redfern in his Serrapeptase News. We’ve reproduced it here as it gives an idea of some of the ways people are using this product:

“I’m Sheila Balmer, a practitioner. I have used Serrapeptase/Nattokinase myself for a varicose vein and over several months it has cleared up. One of my patients used Blockbuster Allclear for deep vein thrombosis which has cleared up and he found that his Diabetic retinopathy also cleared up and he is convinced that it is the Blockbuster Allclear as he has not taken anything else. He is now on a maintenance dose and has been taking the product for a year.”

~ Sheila Balmer, Practitioner

We’ll bring you more Blockbuster Allclear reviews and news as it comes in and I’ll also put in my story of how I used it when I fractured my foot. Till then, good health to you!


Can we eat to starve cancer?

May 18th, 2010 · · Alternatives, Health No comments - Tags: , , ,

This is a great talk by William Li at TED about preventing cancer and other diseases by eating foods that inhibit their growth:

It would be a disservice of us to try and fragment the conversation that’s going on around this talk on the TED site, so if you do have comment, do take them over to the main discussion on TED.

What would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer?

May 13th, 2010 · · Alternatives, Health, Opinion One comment - Tags: , , , , ,

Cancer affects many people these days. As terrifying as the thought is, it may be a good idea to consider in advance, what would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer? Just like we have a plan in place for what would we do the house caught on fire or we were attacked by thieves, having a game plan in place can save your life.

The most common scenario for someone diagnosed with cancer is that they go into shock or denial and loose valuable time. This is where having put together a coping strategy is important.

We’ll post out a few thoughts from people involved in the health field about what they would do if they were diagnosed with cancer. These posts aren’t meant to form any sort of medical diagnosis or treatment protocol. They are intended to provoke you to think about what illness would mean to you with the ultimate aim that thinking about it in advance prepares you for the unexpected and that you weather any storm well. With some though given to the financial and emotional aspects of the journey as well as the physical, we hope you’ll join the list of people who’ve survived. It can be done and preparation helps your chances.

The following video clip was a recent video blog by US health journalist, Kevin Gianni of The Renegade Health Show. In it, he and his wife talk on what they would do if they were diagnosed with cancer:
