HEALTH This page will inform you of the clear and present dangers that are causing ever increasing health problems for you, your family and others you know and love. It will also explain how you can minimize and overcome these problems. How's your health? Want to live longer? Are you concerned about... Cancer Heart Disease Diabetes Menopause Alzheimers Vascular Disease Arthritis Asthma Osteoporosis Dermatitis ADD or ADHD PMT  These diseases threaten the majority of the population.   Did You Know? This audio file talks about health issues which involve you. __________________________________________________________________ Health Report Have you wondered why disease is increasing in the world today and will affect you or someone you love in the next few years? The diseases mentioned above are the leading causes of death in today's society. Very few of us die from old age anymore. Why is this so?   Our bodies are being invaded by disease causing agents called "free radicals" which lead to an increase in disease rates. This is why cancer has increased from 1 in 70 people, to 1 in 3 (Institute of Health and Welfare), why diabetes is increasing dramatically and asthma is out of control (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). These free radicals are very aggressive, harmful atoms or molecules that cause cell damage and consequently lead to disease in your body. The Am. J. Clinical Nutrition, 1995, said "free radicals and tissue damage processes are well documented and accepted." It is well accepted by the medical and scientific community that free radicals exist and that they cause disease.   What can prevent and correct free radical damage? It has been clearly shown in many clinical trials that "antioxidants" neutralise free radicals and in doing so, reduce disease rates. The Am. J. Clinical Nutrition, 1995, said "scavengers, or antioxidants, can prevent or intercept potentially harmful free radical reactions." The Lancet Medical Journal, 1996, reported a Cambridge University study which showed that antioxidants reduced the rate of death from heart attack by 77%. It is absolutely clear that "free radicals" exist and cause disease, and that "antioxidants" can help neutralise free radicals and thereby assist in preventing disease (and a consequent premature death). The problem is that we no longer have enough antioxidants and we are being exposed to more and more free radicals. As a result, you and your family are faced with an ever increasing number of deadly and debilitating diseases.  To prevent disease, stay healthy and live longer, you need to... Increasing your antioxidant intake Decreasing your exposure to free radicals. Antioxidants Problem: As your body ages, the level of naturally occurring antioxidants decreases. This is why there is a direct proportion between age and disease. In other words, the older you get, the more likely you are to contract a deadly or debilitating disease. This also explains one of the reasons why we look older as our age increases. Solution: Supplement your diet with antioxidants and also use topically applied (rubbed on) antioxidants in your skin care products (but make sure these antioxidants can be absorbed).  Problem: Our modern diet no longer contains enough naturally occurring antioxidants (even if you eat the right foods). Our modern food is nutritionally inadequate and deficient in antioxidants and minerals. There are many reasons for this: There has been a severe depletion of nutrients from our agricultural soils over the last 50 years. This has been well documented in many Government reports. Thus, fruits and vegetables grown in these soils no longer contain adequate nutrients. Modern marketing techniques for fruit and vegetables require transport from distant growing regions to centralised retail outlets. In order to avoid damage and spoilage during transport, fruit is picked "green" and artificially ripened at the end point. This does not allow for adequate uptake and production of nutrients (minerals and antioxidants) during the growth phase. It is a scientific fact that there is rapid breakdown of antioxidants in foods after they have been harvested. Most modern "fresh" fruit and vegetables that are purchased at the supermarket are likely to be well over one week "old" and therefore have only a fraction of their original (already deficient) nutritional content. Genetic modification of food has lead to a number of changes, one of which is the rapid ripening of fruit and vegetables (shortened growth cycle) which in turn does not allow full uptake of minerals and development of antioxidants in your food. Solution: For most people, the best option is to take supplements of vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants. However, you must be sure the supplements are effective because there are numerous consumer reports that many commercial supplements do not contain effective ingredients. You should also eat regular daily meals of organically grown fresh fruit and vegetables. Preferably, grow your own food and eat it soon after harvest. It is irrefutable that taking antioxidant supplements is beneficial. Heart attacks, cancer and vascular disease have been shown to be reduced by using antioxidant supplements. Many other diseases (arthritis, asthma, ADD, diabetes and more) have been reported to exhibit a decrease in symptoms when they are used. Free Radicals  There is no doubt that the community is being exposed to an ever-increasing free radical attack. That is what "pollution" is, and we are all aware that the world is becoming dangerously polluted. The effect of this increased free radical attack is an increase of disease in the community. This increase is confirmed on a daily basis in regularly published medical and scientific reports. These reports also appear in your daily newspapers and in a variety of health publications. There are three main areas of concern: Personal care products  Hair care Skin care Dental care Cosmetics Household products  Cleaning products Paints Furniture & furniture glue Carpets Plastics Insulation  Environmental  Pollution Xenoestrogens  The answer to this problem is to eliminate the harmful ingredients or products that are causing you harm, or at least minimize your exposure to them . Personal Care Products There are often ingredients used in personal care products (shampoos, conditioners, skin care, deodorants, cosmetics, toothpaste, soap and many more) which have been reported to be irritant or potentially harmful (even carcinogenic in some circumstances). It is strongly recommended that you check the labels of your family personal care products and look for the following ingredients which may have potentially harmful effects: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (Sodium Laureth Sulphate): Is an irritant used in clinical trials Can be detrimental to hair follicles Can enter the body via the skin and accumulate Denatures proteins, which can affect eyes Can damage the immune system and the skin Propylene Glycol: Can cause contact dermatitis Can damage membranes and cause rashes Can cause skin and surface damage Can cause a number of adverse reactions Is a primary skin irritant May cause skin and eye irritation Can cause gastrointestinal problems, nausea and headaches Can cause vomiting and depression   Formalin: Can burn eyes May irritate skin Is a recognised carcinogen Mineral oil: May carry potentially carcinogenic impurities Can clog and suffocate the skin These substances are most often used in products that you would least expect to find harmful and potentially dangerous ingredients. Some of the products you will find these ingredients in are: Shampoo (including children's shampoo) Toothpaste Bubble bath Shower gel Mouth wash   ...and many more... These ingredients can be detrimental at the area of exposure. Therefore, shampoos may cause dermatitis (dandruff) and skin care products may cause dehydration and premature aging. But there are many other dangerous ingredients in other products. Talc: used in powders and reported as a probable cancer-causing agent. Alcohol: used in mouthwashes and has been linked to oral cancer. Aluminium: used in many anti-perspirants and may be linked to Alzheimer's disease. Cosmetics: may contain potentially harmful ingredients such as some colouring agents in lipsticks. Many nail polishes use toxic ingredients and volatile agents like acrylic and acetone.   Warning! All these ingredients may expose you and your family to unnecessary free radical attack. Thus the balance can be pushed towards you contracting free radical disease. The best way to reduce the risk is to decrease or preferably eliminate these types of ingredients from your everyday product usage. Do some research for yourself. Go to the supermarket and find out how many personal care products have these ingredients. You may have to search further than the supermarket to overcome this dilemma. Menopause There is much more damage from everyday pollution than most of the community is aware of. In particular, there are molecules called xenoestrogens (which come from many sources) that are very rapidly causing enormous changes to health (particularly the female population). These xenoestrogens come from areas of pollution and environmental toxicity like: pesticides, plastics, petro-chemicals, food emulsifiers and dietary products. These xenoestrogens act as "false" or "foreign" estrogens and help activate hormonal imbalance in many females. This is called "estrogen dominance" This dominance (excessive levels) of estrogen or alternatively, low levels of progesterone, can cause enormous problems including menopause symptoms (osteoporosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer, hot flushes, irritability, as well as many other symptoms), PMT (PMS) and infertility. Xenoestrogens have also been shown to be causing a dramatic reduction of sperm counts in males (of all species - including humans) throughout the world. This is an enormous problem that requires correction on two fronts.   Firstly: Reduce xenoestrogen intake by reducing ingestion of red meats and decreasing your exposure to plastics, chemicals and pesticides, and similar products. As well, you can reduce your exposure to estrogen (eg HRT) and reduce your obesity (which also leads to increased levels of estrogen in the body). Combat xenoestrogens by taking antioxidant supplements. Secondly: Increase the level of natural progesterone in the body. This has been reported to be possible by the use of topical supplements (creams) of chaste berry and also natural progesterone which is derived from wild yam extract. Household Products Many house cleaning products have very toxic and volatile agents in them. Furthermore many products that are used within the house have been reported to have significant toxic effects. Items such as paint, carpets, furniture glue (formaldehyde is the worst), plastics, deodorisers, adhesives, insulation and many more. The only way to combat these poisons is to: Know what is potentially dangerous Learn what toxic substances are in which products Ventilate your house as much as possible Reduce the number of dangerous products in your house Choose safe alternatives Aerate your products (carpets, furniture, etc.) before putting them in your house. As a general rule: if it doesn't smell right then it probably isn't. Eliminate whatever it is from your house (or air it to reduce the smell and therefore reduce the "nasties").   Environmental Pollution   Everyone knows that pollution is increasing in the world today. The effects on the world are becoming catastrophic. The green house effect is causing global warming, there are increasing levels of smog in every city, waste accumulation is everywhere causing huge problems with health and esthetics, and the list goes on ... and on ... and on.
