Root Canals Could Be The “Root” Cause of Cancer and Arthritis
Here is some interesting information concerning root canals.
Did you know that 97% of terminal cancer patients previously had root canal procedure. New information shows that we should be taking a closer look at how root canals may be the cause of some serious diseases like cancer and arthritis.
Below are a few of the problems with getting a root canal:
- During a root canal, there is no way to fully sterilize your tooth; after the root canal, dangerous bacteria hide out in the tooth and are unreachable with antibiotics
- Root-canaled and filled teeth harbor bacteria that morph into very toxic forms, which then can migrate to other tissues in your body and cause serious medical conditions, including diseases of your heart, kidneys, bones, and brain
- There is no other medical practice that permits leaving a dead body part inside your body, because it triggers your immune system to attack
If you have a diseased tooth, or if you’ve already had a root canal, I highly recommend consulting a biological dentist about having it extracted
If you have had a root canal and have any serious health issues you will want to read this article by Dr. Mercola: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/18/dangers-of-root-canaled-teeth.aspx?e_cid=20120218_DNL_art_1
Aspirin Is As Dangerous As Rat Poison
Here's an easy way to make stomach-wrecking aspirin look downright reasonable: Just compare it to something even worse.
This time, the headlines may as well read: "Aspirin better than rat poison!" Because that's exactly what the researchers compared it to.
Of course, they'll tell you they compared it to the blood thinner warfarin, but you and I know that this dangerous drug is also used as rat poison.
So it should come as no surprise that more than 12 percent in the warfarin group dropped dead, suffered a stroke, or were hospitalized for serious heart problems, including heart attack and heart failure.
No, the noteworthy part of this study is that the aspirin group had the same 12-percent rate of death, stroke, and serious heart problems as the rat poison group! And this is a med that's touted as a one-a-day drug to prevent heart problems!
The truth is, daily aspirin use can actually CAUSE the very clots it's supposed to prevent, not to mention it can also eat holes in your stomach lining.
With results like these, does it matter to you that the warfarin patients had more serious bleeding problems than those in the aspirin group? I didn't think so.
So forget trying to figure out which is the lesser of two evils, and skip them both. Save the aspirin for when you have a headache. It’s not for everyday use.
There are natural options available for thinning your blood that can lower your heart and stroke risk. Plain old cod liver oil will work, or a product out of Japan called Nattokinase that prevents blood clots and naturally thins your blood is worth looking into.
I would be happy to send you some information on Natokinase if you are interested.
Fish Oil Can Lower A-Fib Risk
The real "wonder drug" for your heart isn't aspirin -- it's not even a drug at all.
Plain old fish oil can do more for your heart than the entire Bayer product line -- and instead of slamming you with side effects like deadly internal bleeding, it can boost everything from your brain function to your eyesight right along with your circulatory health.
And if that's not enough of a reason to put some salmon on the menu tonight, consider this: The fatty acids found in fish can slash your risk of Atrial Fibrillation.
A-fib, as it's called, is one of the most serious irregular heartbeat problems of all -- and also one of the most common, with up to 10 percent of all seniors facing it.
There's no great treatment for it, natural or otherwise, so the key here is to avoid getting it in the first place. And that means loading up on fatty fish, because the latest research shows how omega-3 fatty acids can slash your A-fib risk by nearly a third.
Unlike most food studies, this one didn't rely on some worthless questionnaire or survey. Instead, researchers measured the actual blood levels of fatty acids such as DHA, EPA, and DPA in more than 3,300 seniors.
Over the following 14 years, those with the highest omega-3 levels were 30 percent less likely to get hit with A-fib than those with the lowest.
Since other studies have found that fish oil won't do much for A-fib once you get the condition, the time to start taking it is now.
Don't fall for the Big Pharma marketing hype. You don't need a pricey prescription drug to get your share of omega-3s. A quality supplement from a maker you trust will be just fine. There are several options to choose from like Fish oil (Krill, Salmon, Cod Liver, etc) or Flax Seed Oil, but make sure the flax oil has the Lignans in it.
And while you're at it, eat more fish.
New sugar substitute could be the riskiest ever
The same company that gave us the dangerous sweetener aspartame is back with an encore.
It's called neotame, and it's like aspartame on steroids. It's stronger, sweeter, more stable, and cheaper.
The only "-er" it's missing is the biggest one of all -- because it sure as heck isn't SAFER. It has everything that's helped link aspartame to more than 90 side effects, plus a frightening bonus: a chemical additive called 3,3-dimethylbutyl.
How toxic? Don't ask the feds -- and don't even waste your time asking the NutraSweet Company, makers of both aspartame and neotame. They got this junk approved for use in your food back in 2002 based on fluff instead of science.
One of the main human studies lasted just 13 weeks, an utter joke when you consider that most people gobble artificial sweeteners day in and day out for decades at a time.
It's up to 60 times sweeter than aspartame and 12,000 times sweeter than sugar. In real numbers, that means a 12-ounce soda would need just .0002 of an ounce of neotame.
I bring these amounts up to show you one of the craziest loopholes in the history of U.S. law: Those amounts are so small that the feds consider them to be "trace" ingredients.
And trace ingredients don't have to be listed on the label. So good luck trying to avoid this stuff. It could be in your food right now, and you won't even know it. There's just one way to avoid neotame, aspartame, and all the other -tames out there, and that's by sticking to a diet of real, fresh foods.
Leg Clots and Pain During Flights
Written by Dr. West
I used to scoff when I read about people who simply cannot fly because their legs swell, their varicose veins hurt, or worse, they develop blood clots. That was until it happened to our own friend. And hopefully he will follow my advice and resolve his circulation problems. Perhaps you too would love to fly to a vacation or to see relatives, but you are too afraid because your legs swell and you fear blood clots.
Well this is a real and justified fear as thousands of Americans suffer blood clots from long airplane flights every year. But there is a simple answer—Collinsonia Root also known as the Stone Root plant. The root from this plant is a vascular astringent which means it will maintain proper tone in your blood vessels. The rock hard root is ground into a powder and put into capsules by Standard Process.
If you suffer on long flights or are too scared to fly for fear of blood clots, simply have a bottle of Collinsonia Root capsules on hand. Take 3 capsules followed by a full glass of water before your flight. Take another dose (with water) in the middle of your flight. Take another dose with water at the end of your flight and one more dose with water before you go to sleep that night. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much better your legs do on long flights.
Doctors Prescribe Medicine As "Best Preventive Drug"
Written by Dr. West
One of the key health benefits of exercise is that it helps normalize your glucose, insulin, and leptin levels by optimizing insulin and leptin receptor sensitivity. This is perhaps the most important factor for optimizing your overall health and preventing chronic disease, and may explain why exercise is such a potent preventive medicine.
In fact, researchers recently suggested that exercise is "the best preventive drug" for many common ailments, from psychiatric disorders to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.1 According to Jordan Metzl, a sports-medicine physician at New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery and author of The Exercise Cure: "Exercise is the best preventive drug we have, and everybody needs to take that medicine."
Non-Exercise Movement Is Equally, if Not More, Important for Health
Unfortunately, many fail to get sufficient amounts of exercise. Worse yet, a majority of people may still endanger their health simply by sitting too much. Compelling evidence actually suggests that even if you exercise regularly, prolonged sitting is itself a risk factor for chronic disease and reduced lifespan...
Overall, federal data suggest only 21 percent of American adults meet the government recommendation to engage in two and half hours' worth of aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise each week, so there's clearly a lot of room for improvement. Ideally though, you'll want to exercise regularly AND frequently interrupt your sitting in order to optimize your health and longevity. I'll review the reasons for this below.
Exercise Benefits Found to Be EQUAL to Drugs for Heart Disease and Diabetes
A recent meta-review conducted by researchers at Harvard and Stanford3 compared the effectiveness of exercise versus drug interventions on mortality outcomes for diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. After reviewing 305 randomized controlled trials, which included nearly 339,300 people, they found "no statistically detectable differences" between physical activity and medications for prediabetes and heart disease.
Besides optimizing insulin/leptin receptor sensitivity, other beneficial biochemical changes also occur during exercise, including alterations in more than 20 different metabolites involved in fat burning and metabolism, among other things. As stated by Dr. Church, exercise indeed affects your entire body—from head to toe—in beneficial ways.
The Importance of Non-Exercise Movement
Next, let's address the issue of non-exercise movement. I also like to call this intermittent movement. This is the latest area of physical activity that's gaining a lot of attention, and for good reason. Studies have repeatedly found strong correlations between prolonged sitting or inactivity and reduced life expectancy—even if you exercise regularly!
It appears that temporary vigorous exercise simply cannot compensate for the damage incurred by prolonged daily sitting. For example, a recent analysis4 of 18 studies, found that those who sat for the longest periods of time were twice as likely to have diabetes or heart disease, compared to those who sat the least. An earlier study5 that highlighted much of the recent evidence linking sitting with biomarkers of poor metabolic health, also found that total sitting time correlates with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other prevalent chronic health problems—even if you exercise regularly.
The answer, fortunately, is quite simple. You simply need to make sure you move your body more often. Simply standing up from a seated position has been found particularly effective at counteracting the ill effects of sitting. This is something I seek to do every 15 minutes while I am sitting. I set a timer to remind me. When the timer rings I get up and do some simple hamstring or chest stretches for a minute or two. I am testing a variety of different ones and hope to report on them later this year.
Simple everyday activities such as housecleaning, cooking, gardening, hanging clothes to dry, bending over to pick up a stray sock, reaching for an item on a high shelf, all fall within the spectrum of movements you would ideally engage in—more or less continuously—from morning until night.
Until next time, stay healthy and happy
