Drug-Free Healing Is Now in Vogue

Much research is done to keep Americans aware of the health issues we have with our current healthcare system. Bottom Line’s Breakthroughs in Drug-Free Healing is the bible for those who really want to avoid the side effects of multiple drugs, surgery and costly protocol that leads to a literal dead end.
First and foremost is the necessity of keeping your pipes clean. That’s right, because clogged arteries account for so much difficulty throughout our lives. They can prevent the neurotransmitters from transmitting and retaining valuable information and they can cause a stroke preventing speech and function of our extremities. The smile is only half way because you have lost the connection with the other side of your mouth. Food undigested or feces retained for months or even a year is toxic and can attack your immune system leading to death. Clear pipes or arteries can conduct memory, nutrition, and function, including lowering blood pressure.
Julie’s 96-year-old mother was born in England where porridge was the breakfast food of choice. She once told me that the best compliment she could pay me for the porridge I served her was to tell me that it was as good, if not better, than her own mothers. Well, I was the oldest of three children and lived across the street from the school. My father was diagnosed with tuberculosis (it really was the black lung he developed while working in the coal mines off route 219. My mother was left to fend for herself and three young boys. My father was quarantined in Meyer Memorial Hospital for five years. Well, I had to prepare my breakfast and lunch and that’s where the oatmeal comes in. I loved it and it was a five-minute job with a 2 - 1 ratio of oats to water. Even then I diced apple, placed raisins, a touch of honey and a few tablespoons of milk. Milk was the real thing then - skim milk was illegal for not having enough fat. The interesting thing was that later I found that it was the drano of the arteries and I didn’t get hungry again until about 3 pm in the afternoon.
Allowing the body to heal using God’s pharmacy is the best. My cholesterol has always been low and the fiber always kept me regular. The book claims that it was a decade ago (book written in 2008) that the FDA gave their stamp of approval to a health claim on the label of oatmeal and oat bran products. The decided that "Diets low in saturatd fat and cholesterol that include soluble fiber from oatmeal may reduce the risk of heart disease." The author concludes that it is time to rethink oatmeal and oat bran. Well this author has been on the oatmeal kick since I was only 5-years-old and I still continue to love it with all the variations. I add frozen wild blueberries, apples, raisins a little margarine and a touch of honey. My cholesterol is 159 and I am in my 73rd year.
A breakthrough study reveals that James W. Anderson, MD professor of medicine and clinical nutrition at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine has coauthored a scientific paper in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, which has reviewed the last 15 years of research on oatmeal and health.. He really didn’t have to go through all that trouble. Oatmeal contains "lecithin" and that is the reason it is so good for you.
"Since the 1980s oatmeal has been scientifically recognized for its heart health benefits, and the latest research shows this evidence endures the test of time," My seniors drop their cholesterol levels by 40 points in two weeks of eating oatmeal. At one time my cholesterol was up to 274 and I immediately went back to the regimen of eating oatmeal and dropped my cholesterol to 176 in two weeks. The author says that " Eating oatmeal should be embraced as a lifestyle option for the millions of Americans at risk for heart disease." I said that in 2003 in my book, "Make Eating A Lifstyle Change" Up to now the recommendation has been a prescription drug called Lipitor. Many of my readers have complained that so much of my material is used without credit given to my book. That’s all right. Our creator sends us "manna from heaven" and we try to replicate it with magic pills and biochemistry. Sorry boys, the brain doesn’t read the pill as well as the God-given foods that heal the body.
The research did reveal some interesting points however. Oatmeal changes the physical characteristics of LDL particles, making them larger and less dense—and therefore less likely to form arterial plaque. That’s why we feel full longer and the bad cholesterol comes tumbling down. They also revealed the obvious-blood pressure is lowered and therefore reduces the risk of hardening of the arteries and memory loss.
In fact, says Dr. Anderson, for most people with moderately high cholesterol, regularly eating oatmeal and oat bran is probably a better choice than taking a cholesterol-lowering drug. Good work Dr. Anderson. You must have read my book. Now the doctors are offering their patients a choice between Lipitor and Stan Kent’s way of eating oatmeal. I am humbly flattered, but disappointed they didn’t know this back in the 1950s when I was eating it twice a day. He goes on to say that "Lifestyle choices (I used "changes) should be the first line of therapy for most patients with moderate cholesterol risk, given the expense, safety concerns and intolerance related to cholesterol-lowering drugs. Thank God for that. My father used an old saying for that kind of enlightment, "I see, I see, said the blind man when he hit the post." Now that the horses are out of the barn, it may be time to turn on the pharmaceutical industry for their mass profits on prescription drugs that present a higher risk with low or no benefit.
Why it works: Oats contain a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan. It bonds with liver-produced acids, ushering them out of the body; this triggers the liver to manufacture more bile acids—and in doing so it burns up cholesterol. And when it reaches the colon, beta – glucan generates compounds called short-chain fatty acids that interfere with cholesterol production.
What to do: "In individuals with total cholesterol levels above two hundred twenty, eating the equivalent of three grams of soluble oat fiber typically lowers total cholesterol by eight to twenty-three percent," says Michael T. Murray, ND, a naturopathic doctor and author of Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure (Prima). This is highly significant because with each one percent drop in total cholesterol, there is a two percent decrease in the risk of heart disease. Three grams of soluble fiber are provided by approximately one bowl of ready-to-eat oat bran cereal or oatmeal." My advice is not to use the quick oats, because all grains are subject to contamination such as rat hairs and I have always manipulated the burner while skimming off the brown contaminants.
My advice is to prepare it the old fashioned way using large flakes of oatmeal. I pour in two cups of oatmeal into 4 cups of boiling water with sea salt.
My Senior Tennis Players lost as much as 40 points off their total cholesterol in two weeks by eating a bowl in the morning and one in the evening.

Frankenfish is Here and Unlabeled

The FDA announced it considers the Genetically Engineered AquaAdvantage salmon safe before Labor Day. The Alaskan Senator Mark Begrich called it "frankenfish." The approved GE AquaAdvantage will be the first genetically engineered animal in the U.S. food supply.
This fact will raise the stakes of the FDA’s approval process, as it is a precedent for all future GE animals. Because of a regulatory decision in the 1980s that no new laws are needed to regulate genetically engineered foods, the FDA is actually regulating the GE salmon as a drug. The number of groups, including the Food and Water Watch, the Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Earth, and Organic Consumers Association have written to President Obama, urging him to discontinue the approval process for GE salmon.
The company that developed the GE salmon, AquaBounty Technologies, claims the fish grow to market weight in 16 to months instead of the usual 30 required for the farmed Atlantic Salmon.
The fish was created by using by inserting genetic material of both Chinook (the largest variety of Pacific salmon) and ocean pout )an eel-like fish into the genome of Atlantic salmon. The commercialized fish will all be females making them unable to breed. AquaBounty’s intellectual property will be further projected because all the fish will be sterile, as they will be triploids )fish with three complete sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two).
How to Make Frankenfish: To create the fish, AquaBounty begins with eggs of genetically engineered salmon females and fertilizes them with irradiated sperm of another similar fish species, Arctic char. The eggs are then pressure-treated, causing them to produce diploid offspring (i.e. two complete sets of chromosomes) with both sets of chromosomes originating from the GE female salmon. The all-female GE female diploid salmon will then be treated with 17 methyl testosterone, a hormone that turns all the fish into what AquaBounty calls "neomales"—genetically female fish that produce milt (sperm) instead eggs. The milt from the GE neomales will fertilize the eggs of non-GE Atlantic Salmon, and the resulting fertilized eggs will be treated with pressure to produce the final product, a line of all-female triploid GE Atlantic salmon.
According to AqualBounty’s plans, the GE salmon will begin their lives at a hatchery to Prince Edward Island, Canada and then transfer to a grow-out facility in Panama. Unlike most salmon, which begin their lives in fresh water before transferring to saltwater, the GE salmon will spend their entire lives in freshwater. The good news is that currently there are no plans to raise the GE salmon in open net pens in the ocean, a method of salmon farming that has resulted in massive damage to wild salmon populations as well as frequent escapes of farmed salmon into the ocean.
Science
While farmed salmon has been an environmental disaster in countries like Canada and Norway, it seems that environmental concerns over AquaAdvantage take a back seat to safety concerns. The science that AquaBounty provided the FDA was sloppy in a number of ways, and yet the FDA accepted it and declared the fish safe. Because the
approval of AquaAdvantage will set a precedent, it is important that the FDA set its bar for solid science high, signaling to any company that wishes to commercialize a genetically engineered animal that it must completely prove its safety, if it intends to put its product on the market. Instead, according to senior scientist Michael Hansen, the FDA appears to have set its bar an inch from the ground.
Even more worrisome is the science used to justify the salmon’s safety, which Consumers Union senior Scientist Michael Hansen calls "sloppy."
Beware the food you are eating. Even the local BJ sells colored Atlantic Salmon and sells Trout that looks much like the red salmon. When Tops market sells red Pacific Salmon for $9.99 a pound as compared to the $19.99/lb. that other stores were selling it for ~ it raises an antennae that causes me to wonder if we are not already being sold GE salmon. In the current economic environment, will people simply by the least expensive, look-alike salmon? Will Americans question the credibility of Supermarkets as opposed to reputable fish stores selling fish with the same name at twice the price?
We have more cancer in the U.S. than the entire rest of the world combined. We have more Alzheimer’s Disease than all other countries and more quadruple bypass surgery and yet we continue to allow news media to brag about contests pitting young people against each other for the number of "Buffalo" chicken wings they can eat at one sitting.
"Make Eating A Lifestyle Change" will spell out the many obstacles to healthy eating and suggest the foods that best suit our bodily functions. This book can only be purchased from the author. Research is expensive but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. My intention is to identify herbs, vitamins and minerals~what they do for you and what foods you need to eat to obtain them.
