Want To Know About a Natural 400% Immunity Boost?

That's right, a natural immunity boost of up to 400%. How?

Well, do you realize that your brain and spinal cord run, coordinate, control, harmonize and govern every aspect of your health and existence? God put the most amazing healing power in the brain and spinal cord. This power is what runs your body and heals your body. Without a proper functioning nerve system you CANNOT be well, because the brain must be able to communicate with the body, and its organs through the spinal cord.

And in clinical trial studies, getting a chiropractic adjustment has been shown to possibly boost immunity up to 400%. And a tremendous amount of research has shown that Chiropractic is extremely safe and effective for recovering and more importantly preventing sickness and disease.

Dr. Ronald Pero of New York University studied the immune systems of cancer patients, non-cancer patients, and non-cancer patients that had been under Chiropractic care for 5 years or more. The non-cancer patients had immune systems that were 200% stronger than the cancer patients. The Chiropractic patients had immune systems that were 200% stronger than the non-cancer patients and 400% stronger than the cancer patients.

Chiropractic research on HIV positive patients revealed that those who received Chiropractic care showed a 48% increase in CD4 immune system white blood cells compared to those that did not receive Chiropractic care.

So don't wait for some colorful pill spouting bogus claims of boosting your immune system. Just start getting chiropractic adjustments on a regular basis. . .

Microwave Popcorn Toxicity Study

Popcorn is one of the add-ons that rarely fails to make watching a movie more fun, but the modern way of preparing this popular snack may harbor an unhappy secret. Research by the U.S. government now reports that microwave popcorn may contain chemicals that can cause health problems.

At issue is that commercial popcorn companies often coat their microwave popcorn bags with a cehmical called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) which has been found to cause both cancer and lung disease in laboratory animals. Making matters worse, the butter substitute that generally accompanies microwaveable popcorn contains a chemical called diacetyl.,a common food-flavoring agent that, according to health scientists, is responsible for bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious, debilitating lung disease.

For an easy and fun healthy alternative, nutritionists suggest that we pop our own popcorn. All that's needed is a large, high pot, about four tablespoons of peanut or canola oil (or better yet, coconut oil) and a small handful of organic popcorn kernels. When the kernels start popping, shake the pot to let the steam escape and to let the unpopped kernels fall to the bottom. As soon as the popping slows down, remove the pot from the stove, pour the popcorn into a bowl, season with a small amount of real butter or olive oil and natural sea salt or brewer's yeast to taste, et voila, happy eating.

Curing PMS (Pre-Monster-al Symptoms) Naturally...

Oh, is that supposed to be M-e-n-s-t-r-u-a-l? My mistake (lol). I know, all you women are saying, What can a man possibly know about PMS? Next, he'll be talking about the pain associated with childbirth or the trauma of menopause (I call that men-on-pause). Sorry, just a quick humor check. And, fyi, I have experienced all those conditions--well, vicariously at least.

I do have my female sources though. And what THEY tell me is fascinating. For instance, normally if you had a condition with all the following symptoms, you'd be worried you were suffering from a serious or even fatal disease:

--abdominal pain
--bloating
--joint pain
--muscle pain
--diarrhea
--constipation
--onset or worsening of acne
--tenderness
--excess water tenderness
--weight gain
--cravings for sugar an alcohol
--insomnia
--anxiety
--disorientation
--disassociation
--panic attacks
--insomnia
--weepiness
--decreased libido
--lack of sex drive

Yet all these symptoms can occur simply from a woman about to get her period! For the majority of women who suffer PMS, the condition typically sets in between seven and fourteen days before the beginning of their period, although for many women who suffer severe PMS, the condition can become one that is almost permanent, with symptoms being present before, during and after menstruation.

This physical disruption is very distressing. Some females who experience it only have mild symptoms but others are simply overwhelmed by anxiety, pain and mood swings.

Instead of harmful drugs with dangerous side-effects, wouldn't you like to know about a positive, pro-active solution to curing Pre-Menstrual Tension naturally, so you can master the symptoms listed above, once and for all? Was that a desperate "YES" I just heard. Then just Click on the PMS Banner Ad in the sidebar to your left (Curing Premenstrual Tension Naturally) and start your journey to PMS Tension freedom...

Take Your Own Health Survey

The next time you're at a theme park, mall or airport, take your own informal visual "health" survey or poll of the crowd. Your results? Not good, I'm willing to bet. So tell me, except for Hollyweird, Southern California, serious athletes, and a few exercise junkies, just where is this "health crowd" that is so prevalent today?

How about the friends, co-workers, and acquaintances in your sphere of influence--would you say their general health is increasing or decreasing? Improving or worsening? Healthier this year than last year?

How about all the overweight people you know on diets? Have they been yo-yo dieting for 5 years with no significant results or improvement? Know anyone who's died of cancer in the past year? If I gave you a minute, I bet you could name four or five.

And not to make you squirm, but what's your story? What's your health history over the last few years? Is your health "burning brightly" or "flickering and diminishing rapidly?" Have you reached the health goals you've set for yourself or are they fading quickly from your grasp?

Are you aware that in spite of the billions of dollars spent on heatlh care each year (most of that for drugs and surgery), and the billions spent on research to allegedly find cures for cancer and other debilitating diseases, the U.S. ranks 22nd in health outcomes in the world, according to the WHO (World Health Organization) statistics? We spend more per captita on health care each year, yet we are some of the most unhealthy people on the planet? See anything wrong with that picture?

It doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to see that our current health care system is seriously broken. That's why herbal remedies, home remedies, homeopathic remedies, and natural cures and solutions are gaining such popularity today. So if any of the diseases or conditions listed in the sidebars apply to you, just Click Here on any of them, and find out for yourself the best alternative-medicine cures and solutions available. . .

Share Your Home Remedies. . .

Do you have any home remedies that have worked great for you that you'd like to share with The Health Warrior? Maybe something your mom or gramdma used when you were a kid, or just something you stumbled upon, or substituted for in an emergency instead of a traditional remedy. And VOILA!--it worked better than what you used before? If so, send me your story and the remedy and I'll post it here on Amazing Natural Remedies (Just keep it under 250 words).

When I was growing up, some of the fondest memories I had were visiting my grandparents in Pittsboro, Mississippi. Bryant and Ruth Flanagan (Mama Ruth and Grandaddy to us) lived on a cotton and soybean farm on about 50 acres. They had a huge garden with just about every variety of vegetable, several dairy cows, two mules, and a chicken coop with a few dozen chickens and two mean roosters. (The meanest one chased my cousin Jeffrey one day, and scared him so bad, it pushed Mama Ruth's Terminator Button, and she decapitated the rooster in the garage with a hatchet.) But that's a whole 'nother story...

So one visit, my older brother Ed and I were playing in the haystack in the barn, and I got stung on the arm by a couple of wasps. Grandaddy saw me crying, got off his John Deere and went over to his '58 Chevy Pickup. He grabbed his pouch of Red Man chewing tobacco off the dash, placed a wad in his mouth, chewed on it for a minute, then removed it and pasted it over the stings. Miraculously, in just a couple of minutes, the sting lessened and the swelling even went down. So there you have it--a safe, proven effective home remedy for bee and wasp stings! (And everyone has a pouch of Red Man around the house, right?)

So send in your story and you too could be a famous published author...

The "Back To Eden" Test

Have you noticed the proliferation of information and controversy over diets? And which foods are healthy and nutritious for you? You have the all-fat diets, the no-fat diets, eggs are bad for you, no wait, eggs are actually good for you. Sugar is bad for you, so use sugar substitutes. Anybody confused out there? Perplexed when you look at a food label on a product and wonder what all those ingredients are and if they are good for you? Struggling to find the best, most nutritious choices are for you and your family? Well, there is a very simple, foundational priciple upon which all nutrition rests. I call it the "Back To Eden" principle or test. It's simply this:

"The closer a food is to its original, natural state, the more nutritious and healthy that food is."

Conversely, the more that food item has been changed and altered and handled from its original state, the less healthy it is for you. If anything is added to or taken away from the original, watch out. For instance, a fresh, organic avocado is much healthier and nutritious than a procesessed, packaged guacamole dip. A fresh, ripe apple has little resemblence to Apple Jacks or a McDonald's Apple Pie.

Also, if the list of ingredients in a product is longer than your arm and you can't even pronounce 90% of them (things like Thiamin Mononitrate, Termeric Oleoresin, Monoglycerides, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate) trust me, it ain't healthy, dear.

God created this earth with plants, herbs, fruits and vegetables in their natural state to be the perfect fuel for our bodies. The Garden of Eden was a Health Food Superstore and provided every nutrient necessary for unlimited health. And the further any food is removed from that original, unprocessed, unadulterated state, the less healthy it is for you. Make sense?

A great start to eating healthy (and dropping some weight) is to first cleanse your body of toxins and impacted matter in the colon, so that nutrients can be better absorbed and assimilated.

"We Fought Cancer and Cancer Won"

Well, I guess this is Cancer Week on the blog. The title is what the headline read on the September 15, 2008 edition of Newsweek. Under the headline was a quote from Dr. Ashly Ochsner: "After billions spent on research and decades of hit or miss treatments, it is time to rethink the war on cancer." As the timeline in the article states, in 1971, President Richard Nixon declared war on Cancer, signing the National Cancer Act, a $1.6 billion effort to eradicate the disease, And that year, an estimated 335,000 Americans died of cancer. In 2008, some 565,650 Americans died from the disease, representing a 69% increase over 1971.

Don't you find it interesting that we know more about cancer than we have ever known, yet more people die from it than ever before? We are always FIGHTING CANCER. Wouldn't it make more sense to PREVENT cancer in the first place? In 2008, we had the "Stand Up To Cancer" movement in which celebrities, music artists and TV networks all banded together to say, "We keep waiting for someone to defeat cancer. We are not waiting anymore." Recently, we've been inundated with pink ribbons on everyting from A to Z and pleas to support the cure. A worthy movement, as far as the intent, but it's just repeating the same failed strategy of the past 39 years, since the war on cancer was declared.

The failed strategy? Get some big names, raise a TON OF MONEY, and then give it to the "all-knowing" scientists to do "research". And the "recipe" for research is the same--genetics and drugs. That recipe has failed miserably, especially when you look at the track record of many drugs that actually cause cancer!

So what's the solution. Simple. PREVENTION. We have to stop CAUSING cancer, and then we will not have to FIGHT IT. It can be prevented simply through diet and lifestye changes. By eliminating toxins and eating healthy foods and supplements, and engaging in regular, appropriate exercise, studies show cancer can be prevented between 50-98% of the time. Combined with the enormous research on chiropractic's immune boosting ability and cancer will have brought a knife to a gun fight. For more cancer solutions, Click Here!

CANCER: America's $200 Billion Cash Cow (Part 2)

So are you ready to hear some more lies from the Cancer Industry?

CANCER LIE #3: Big Pharma wants you to believe hook, line, and sinker that their so-called cancer "cures" work.

The truth: They "cook the books" to prove the effectiveness of their cancer tratments. For instance, if you or a loved one has breast cancer, doctors may recommend the drug Tamoxifen. You'll likely hear that it reduces the chances of breast cancer recurring by 49 percent. Sounds pretty impressive, right? But the truth is, based on absolute numbers, Tamoxifen reduces the risk of breast cancer returning by only 1.6 percent--30 times less than advertised. "Relative" numbers are used because they can be manipulated in many ways. Relative to what? It could be to a previous test or some other obscure number. Don't be fooled by "relative" numbers. Get the real facts, like this one: A 14-year study by two oncologists in Australia reported in the film "A Shocking Look at Cancer Studies" reveals that treatment for all of our major cancers is totally ineffective! Way below a 10% success rate!

CANCER LIE #4: Cancer drugs are your BEST BET to beat this dreaded disease.

The truth: Drug companies pay oncologists big "kickbacks" to promote high-priced, but ineffective cancer drugs. Do you know how most oncologists make money? Not by treating patients, but by selling cancer drugs. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, as much as 75% of an average oncologists earnings comes from selling chemotherapy drugs in his/her office. And at a substantial mark-up!

Americans pay the highest amount for prescription drugs in the world. Big Pharma will say it's due to research and development, but the U.S. drug industry spent $33.5 billion in 2004 alone promoting its drugs. A former drug rep from Eli Lily testified before Congress saying, "Pharmaceutical companies hire former cheerleaders and ex-models to wine and dine doctors, exaggerate drug benefits and underplay side effects."

CANCER: America's $200 Billion Cash Cow. . .

Many people are unaware that most of the highly-regarded conventional cancer treatments in America being pushed upon cancer patients, have dismal failure rates. Why? One reason: GREED! Treating cancer in America is a virtual "cash cow" of over $200 billion a year. And Big Pharma will LIE through its teeth to keep you dependent on its "cut, burn, and poison" cancer treatments and destroy anyone or anything that gets in the way--even if it means bending the truth. Below are the 4 biggest cancer LIES you need to know about:

CANCER LIE #1: Chemotherapy is a MUST if you have cancer.

The Truth: Up to 80% of oncologists would REFUSE chemotherapy if they had cancer. Why? Because they know it's extremely ineffective and extremely toxic. Yet shockingly, 75% of cancer patients are directed to receive chemotherapy.
The Facts: A rigorous review of chemotherapy reveals it FAILS for 98% of people. And when chemotherapy was tested against no treatment, no treatment proved better! What's more, only 2-4% of cancers respond well to chemotherapy.

CANCER LIE #2: Every woman over age 40 should have a mammogram.

The Truth: Mammograms actually do more damage than good, and actually HARM 10 WOMEN for every one it helps. The $4 billon-a-year mammogram industry urges women to rely on x-ray tests to protect their health. But what they don't tell you is mammograms are really an unnecessary and even harmful treatment. A new study by researchers from the Nordic Cochraine Center in Denmark reviewed the benefits and negative effects of 7 breast cancer screening programs on 500,000 women. The results were shocking: For every 2,000 women who received mammograms over a 10-year period, only one would have her life prolonged, but 10 would be harmed. Mammograms can actually INCREASE a woman's risk of developing cancer by as much as 3% per year by irradiating the breast cells and triggering breast cancer.

1,200 Prescription Drugs That Could Kill You...

I awoke to my Yahoo Home Page this morning and discovered a curiously ironic first headline story:

"12 Supplements That Could Hurt You..." It then went on to say: "Consumer Reports identifies a dozen ingredients in common supplements that everyone should avoid". And amazingly, it was one of the lead stories on ABC's nightly news. Wow. So tell me, when is the last time you heard of someone getting deathly ill or dying from the usage of a natural supplement? And, are you aware that prescription drugs, when taken as directed, kill over 100,000 and injure over 2 million people per year?

The story then goes on to say:

"What consumers might not realize, though, is that supplement manufacturers routinely, and legally, sell their products without first having to demonstrate that they are safe and effective."

You've got to be kidding--do you know how many hundreds of dangerous, toxic, prescription drugs have been unleashed by the FDA on the American public with very limited testing as to their safety or effectiveness? Or the number of people who have died as a result of taking these unsafe, unproven drugs? And that the FDA only pulled them from circulation after thousands of people, serving as Big Pharma guinea pigs, had died?

For instance, the common diabetic drug Avendia has been found to increase risks of heart attack and heart death between 40% and 70% in recent reports. But do you hear the warnings on that in the news?

The twelve "dangerous" supplements it lists are as follows:

"The dozen are aconite, bitter orange, chaparral, colloidal silver, coltsfoot, comfrey, country mallow, germanium, greater celandine, kava, lobelia, and yohimbe".

I'm not going to debate the validity of their claims here. I just want to ask you a question: What percentage of natural supplements cause dangerous or adverse reactions as opposed to the percentage of prescriptions drugs that cause dangerous and adverse reactions? Do you ever see natural supplement ads in print or on TV with a list of dangerous side-effects as long as your arm?

I think, when taken in perspective, the irony of these claims is absurd. If the FDA so concerned about our health, they should release a study entitled, "1,200 Prescription Drugs That Could Kill You"...

Sunscreen Myths Exposed...

One of the best things about summer is going to the beach, boating, attending sporting events, or taking part in outdoor activities like concerts or art festivals. In the midst of these "dog days" of summer however, the sweltering heat and excessive sunshine can lead to a painful experience known as "sunburn". As a society, we've been taught that faithful application of sunscreen or sunblock is the only way to protect against sunburn and skin cancer. If you've bought into the myth that the sun causes cancer, and that sunblock prevents it, you're in for a surprise, because both are absolute lies.

The sun actually provides the most significant source of natural Vitamin D for humans, and ultraviolet rays from the sun trigger Vitamin D production in your skin. Sunblock and suncreen directly promote Vitamin D deficiency by blocking the body's absorption of ultraviolet radiation. Further, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic (cancer causing) and have never been safely tested or approved by the FDA. The main ingredient in 90% of commercial sunscreens, octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), was found to kill mouse cells even at low doses in a study by Norwegian scientists.

And new research from the Creighton University School of Medicine in Nebraska reveals that supplementing with Vitamin D and calcium can reduce your risk of cancer by an astonishing 77 percent! Adequate levels of vitamin D are absolutely necessary to prevent up to 77 percent of all cancers including breast, colon, cervical, and lung cancer, brain tumors and multiple myeloma. Vitamin D also plays a role in preventing diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease and obesity.

The reality is the benefits of suncreen are a myth, created by consumer product companies fabricating a need in order to make huge profits. The cancer industry also is directly involved in perpetuating the ridiculous notion that sunlight is harmful to humans. The sunscreen industry makes money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer industry through non-profit groups like The American Cancer Society, which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people lto use sunscreen to "prevent cancer".

The real cause of sunburn is not merely UV exposure--it is a lack of antioxidant nutrition. Sunburn is actually caused by nutritional defeciencies that leave the skin vulnerable to DNA mutations from radiation, but if you boost your nutrition and protect your nervous system with plant-based nutrients, you'll be naturally resistant to sunburn. So what's the best plan of action to prevent sunburn? First, start eating lots of berries and microalgae (spirulina, blue-green algae, etc.) and you'll build up a natural, internal sunscreen that will protect your skin from sunburn from the inside out. Then take a high-quality vitamin supplement which includes Vitamins A, C, E and Selenium--the antioxidant vitamins. For a good source, CLICK HERE. Gradually gain exposure to the sun as you build up your base tan and cover up after moderate sun exposure to avoid overexposure. If you plan on being out in the sun for long periods, or inadvertatnly get sunburned, there are several natural sunscreen products and lotions available (CLICK HERE) that offer safe, natural alternatives and remedies.
