Vitamin Water and Power Drinks

Vitamin Water (& Power Drinks) - Sounds like good stuff doesn't it?  Look carefully who makes this toxic concoction.  You may have to get out your magnifying glass, but if it is one of the big pop bottlers (like Coca-Cola) you have good reason to be suspicious!  Here is one of many resources.  Get yo SUGGA!!

Instead of this junk, try lemon or lime water.  As strange as it sounds, this will tend to make your body more alkaline and healthier.

Toxic Intestines and the link to Autism

You won't find this making headline news - but I find it very informative.
Here is a link to a series of videos about the increase of toxic gut and how it leads to suseptability of brain damage from vaccines.  Dr. Campbell-McBride

FAIR - A lot of interesting interviews and resources here.

Additional background that may be helpful to understanding how vaccines become toxic to one child and not another.  Heal Your Toxic Child



80% of parents want FAT kids

Do you want your kid to be obese?  Must be since about 80% of children are now becoming obese.

But to take the guesswork out of it, here is how to do it:

How to make your kid fat and develop cirrhosis or the liver: 
First and foremost, let them eat/drink sugar (or a lot of alcohol).  READ THE LABEL!  See just how much sugar is in almost every breakfast cereal, or processed food (hint - it comes in a box or container).

From a recent article by Dr. Mercola: 

"HFCS is in the vast majority of processed foods—even those you wouldn't think of as sweet, such as ketchup, soup, salad dressing, bread and crackers. Even "natural" foods often contain fructose as a sweetener. So even if you don't drink soda, if you eat processed or packaged foods at all, you're likely consuming fructose—and a lot of it. Fructose accounts for 10 percent of the calories in the average American diet.  Metabolically, it's the worst of the worst."

"How Consuming Fructose Can Damage Your Liver:

Fructose is very hard on your liver, in much the same way as drinking alcohol.
1.Liver burden number one: After eating fructose, 100 percent of the metabolic burden rests on your liver—ONLY your liver can break it down. This is much different than consuming glucose, in which your liver has to break down only 20 percent, and the remaining 80 percent is immediately metabolized and used by the rest of the cells in your body.

2.Liver burden number two: Fructose is converted into fat that get stored in your liver and other tissues as body fat. Part of what makes fructose so bad for your health is that it is metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar. For example, if you eat 120 calories of fructose, 40 calories are stored as fat. But if you eat the same amount of glucose, less than one calorie gets stored as fat. Consuming fructose is essentially consuming fat! "

Classification of humans based on gut flora

An interesting article in Nature reported there are three main types of enterotypes found across part of the world.  Although the study was rather limited and only studied several countries, at least it is indicative of the increasing awareness that your gut flora is critical to good health and freedom from chronic diseases.  Total ingnorance of this issue is leading most teenagers to a sad future - most doctors are in the dark too!
  The number one cause of toxic gut?  Antibiotics and prescription drugs!!  Search for yourself - search on 'dysbiosis'.
  More on enterotypes as the science advances.
  Another related topic is clostridium diffcile or C DIFF.  It has been increasing at an alarming rate among both children and adults.  More on this as I have time to investigate.  MedNews  Doubled 

Fructose Update

High Fructose Corn Syrup has received so much negative press that they have changed the name to "Corn Sweetener", so don't be fooled.  But HFCS isn't the end of the subject.  Fruit of all kinds contain fructose.  Fructose is metabolized (used by the body) different from glucose.  The bottom line is excessive fructose leads to insulin insensitivity (type 2 diabetes) and the other big killers (heart, cancer, mental decline, etc.).  Especially when consumed without the accompanying fiber associated with eating the natural fruit; i.e., fruit juices.  Dr. Mercola expounds on this in this article.

Pancreatitis

Most doctors have no idea what to do for pancreatitis other than guess as foods that might make it worse.  There are studies that suggest eating a diet high in antioxidants and keeping away from soda and other 'high oxidizers' can greatly decrease the number of pain filled days and nights.

  Also note that most of your common grocery store household cleaners are high in oxidizers.
  The four 'health berries'; Acai, Goji, Noni, and Mangosteen are also very high in antioxidants - acai being the highest with an ORAC value of over 1000.
  The common spice cumin has also been found to have a number of benefits and is high in antioxidants, antistress, and memory enhancing properties.  See CUMIN
