VITAMIN B AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Most people don't automatically think of the Vitamin B Complex vitamins as very important for a healthy immune system, but they are!

B COMPLEX VITAMINS

The B vitamins really function as a complex and most health professionals agree that they should be taken together, as they are found together, in foods such as nutritional yeast, whole grains, milk and eggs, nuts, fish, fruits and leafy green vegetables.

Antioxidants Helpful or Hurtful?

There was a recent article  in the Journal of the American Medical  Association (JAMA) that concluded that  taking antioxidants actually increased  your risk of death, instead of making  you healthier. This was reported in the  Washington Post, without proper explanation  of the JAMA article and its conclusions.  It is true that studies, including the  ones that JAMA referred to, show that  antioxidants do NOT help users live longer.  However, what was not pointed out by the  Washington Post is that theses studies  all used synthetic vitamin A and E, not  natural sources.

Thyroid Epidemic

According to more than one medical researchers, we have an epidemic of thyroid problems that affect our population in America to day, most often low thyroid or hypothyroidism.  Extensive studies by Dr. Broda Barnes, M.D. showed low thyroid affecting 40% of our population.  More recent studies show that this thyroid problem is increasing rather rapidly, and some think it now affects as much as 70% of Americans today!

Co-Enzyme Q 10, also known as CoQ10, ubiquinone or Vitamin Q,  is found in all cells of the body, and is vital in providing cell energy.  The role it plays is helping to transform fats and sugars into energy on a cellular level, which can boost your health in many ways.  On the contrary, when your CoQ10 levels are low, all sorts of basic functions of the cells may begin to diminish.  The name ubiquinone comes from "ubiquitous", which means found everywhere, and so is a very appropriate name.  It is found in higher concentrations in the heart and the brain and kidneys.  It is also one of the most potent antioxidants known.

Many people think that flu vaccines are good for you and will protect you from getting the flu or from getting such a bad case of it.  Regardless of what the level of protection actually is from getting a flu shot, there are dangerous ingredients included in the vaccines, including the one for the swine flu or the H1N1 virus.  Besides toxins like squalene and thimerosal, a key ingredient in vaccines for the flu is the "diseased flesh of African Green Monkeys."  Yes, ingredients in the vaccine come from the kidneys of these monkeys, who have been injected with the virus so as to deliberately make them sick with the flu so the virus can be incubated in their kidneys.  Then they are killed so the virus can be harvested from their kidneys and used in the vaccine.  Hmm, perhaps you may want to explore other options to protect yourself from the flu.  What are some of the top ways?

Keep Yourself Healthy and Boost Your Immune Function Now!

Eating right and getting enough sleep, along with washing your hands frequently and staying away from infected people is of course always good advice.  We want to stress the eating right part by mentioning that not only should you try to eat nutrient dense whole foods, but stay away from refined sugar.  Did you know that for up to 5 hours after you eat refined sugar, your immune system will be depressed?  This means that if you (or your children) are eating sugary foods at breakfast, lunch and dinner, your immune system will be depressed all day long!!!  That is inviting disaster, in our opinion!

In addition to eating right and staying away from refined sugar, certain vitamins, minerals, and herbs are known to boost the immune system function.  Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D, vitamin C and vitamin B complex, zinc and selenium, taking whole food supplements if needed.  Probiotics can also help boost your immune function, as they gobble up bad bugs that make it to your intestines. A couple other powerful anti-virals include garlic, onions, ginger, olive leaf extract and oregano oil.  If you buy these in supplement form, make sure and get one that is powerful and potent, like the Quantum Rx Immune Complex.  Potency can vary by as much as 900 fold, and  many of the supplements out there are simply made with cheap ingredients and are just not going to be powerful enough to wipe out a bad virus.  Let the buyer beware.

Vitamin D Deficiency Almost Doubles
Your Risk of Heart Disease!

If you are diabetic, it is more important than ever the make sure that you are are getting enough Vitamin D - either from the sun, from your diet, or from a supplement.  Researchers have found that when you are diabetic and your vitamin D levels are low, your body can’t process cholesterol normally.  This makes it more likely to build up in your arteries, causing a greater risk of both heart attacks and of strokes.

Even if you are not diabetic, getting enough vitamin D still lowers your risk of heart disease.  In fact, vitamin D levels are also closely linked to our body’s ability to fight off cancer and illnesses like the common cold and the flu.  Some health care practitioners including Dr. Mercola think that getting your vitamin D levels up to the 50-65 level is better protection than a flu shot, without the side effects that the flu shots have!  Dr. Mercola also recommends taking 35-40 IU of Vitamin D per pound of body weight, per day, when you are not exposed to the sun.  That’s around 5000 IUs for a lot of us adults.

When is the last time your doctor checked your vitamin D levels?

Farmer creates free energy power plant!

CNN.com Article Published on 07/31/2009

ROCKWOOD, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Four generations of Saylors have worked the family's dairy farm for nearly a century, but for the past three years, the cows have been doing something besides providing milk: They've been helping power the place.
Growing up on the sprawling spread 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, 36-year-old farmer Shawn Saylor developed into a self-described science buff.

So it was no surprise that, when faced with rising energy costs, Saylor turned to technology.

EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL

Eat Fat, Lose Weight?
Virgin Organic Coconut Oil & Weight Loss

Many Say When They Added Coconut Oil To Their Diet, Their Energy Went Up and Their Weight Down!

Virgin coconut oil is high in lauric acid, which is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA).  These MCFAs have been shown in studies to increase metabolism.  That's good news if you are one of the 2 out of 3 Americans who are overweight.  As you may already know, when your metabolism goes up, you burn more calories, even if you don't exercise.

Around 50% of the fat in virgin coconut oil is one of those medium-chain fatty acids, lauric acid.  Studies have shown that the amount of energy your body uses to metabolize these MCFAs is more than the energy provided by the MCFAs.  In other words, you will burn more calories than are contained in coconut oil just by your body digesting, or metabolizing the oil.  In fact, according to many scientists, lauric acid is more quickly metabolized than any other fatty acid.   Plus, virgin coconut oil appears to raise your body temperature (it has a thermogenic effect).  This seems to help boost energy as well as metabolism, which may be why virgin coconut oil seems to be so helpful if you have an under-performing thyroid.

MOXXOR:  the most powerful concentrate of all-natural omega-3s and antioxidants  on the planet exclusively from the pure pristine environment of New  Zealand.  Moxxor includes the most potent antioxidants extracted from the New  Zealand sauvignon blanc grape seed husk

Antioxidant

An antioxidant is a biochemical that can neutralize  harmful molecules in our bodies known as free radicals. Free radicals  are produced during normal metabolism and cell function, as well as  pollutants in our air, water and food, and have the ability to oxidize  and damage our body's cells. It is for this reason that scientists  believe that 5 to 8 servings per day of antioxidant rich fruits and  vegetables can benefit your health, but consuming this much on a daily  basis can be a challenge at our modern pace of life.

The antioxidants found in MOXXOR come from New  Zealand's award winning Sauvignon blanc grape seed husk. The  grapes are grown in the South Island of New Zealand where the unique  atmospheric conditions cause the seed to have greater levels of super  antioxidant OPC (oligomeric procyanidin compounds) than any known fruit  or berry, and are free from genetically modified material, heavy metals, arsenic, toxins, and pesticides. 

A standard known as ORAC  (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is often used to compare the  relative strength of antioxidants, and the Moxxor grape seed husk rates very high, higher than the Acai or Goji berry!
