Seven Leading Killer Diseases

1. Heart Disease is the number one killer. 1 out of 2 people die of a heart disease in spite of available medical treatments. 1/3 of all people who suffer heart attacks die with the first attack. Homocysteine in the blood causes more deaths than high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or even smoking. Experts say that homocysteine can be controlled by taking nutritional supplements.
2. Cancer is the second leading cause of death. 1 out of 3 people will have cancer. The cure rate for cancer is 5 years. The typical medical treatment options for cancer include surgical removal, poison with chemotherapy, or burn it with radiation. But, how about stopping the cause? Nutrition plays a major role in the prevention of cancer. A test group that was given the trace mineral selenium reduced cancer by 50%.
3. Strokes are the third leading cause of death. The effect on the blood vessels is the same as heart disease, but it affects the blood vessels of the brain. Nutrition is essential!!!
4. Diabetes is rapidly increasing. the incidence of diabetes has increased by 50% in the last 10 years. Fifty percent of adults, 65 and older, have diabetes. The rate among children is staggering and mostly related to their diet, which consists of high sugar intake. Their diet is totally deficient in the mineral chromium. People who have to take insulin automatically gain weight because insulin causes the body to stare fat. Obesity is almost always associated with diabetes. Obesity alone is the cause of 300,000 deaths per year.
5. Osteoporosis is now the number five in the leading causes of death. The leading cause of osteoporosis is soft drinks. Phosphoric acid in soft drinks leaches calcium from the bones therefore causing the body not to absorb calcium.
6. Arthritis is now sixth on the list of leading causes of death. Poor digestion is in direct relation to the cause of arthritis. 80% of people 50 years old already have arthritis. Medication for the treatment of arthritis in many cases makes the condition worse. In addition, medications destroy the stomach, liver, and kidneys. The 15th leading cause of death is arthritic medication. Again proper nutrients help prevent this condition.
7. Alzheimers is a rapidly growing disease that surfaced after the introduction of aluminum cookware, cans, and antiperspirants. People with Alzheimers have massive amounts of aluminum in their brain cells. This is a real nutrition problem.
The reason why I am sharing this information is because we need to take charge of our health and be better educated how to better take care of our bodies. There are solutions out there, but we are not being told about these solutions. The internet has opened up a whole new world of hope for looking for health solutions, but there is so much out there it is scary that you might be going in the wrong direction for help. I have learned quite a bit about health since moving to SC because my wife was diagnosed with a non-curable disease right after we arrive here. We are seeking natural solutions because the alternative is a lot worse. Thanks for listening. I welcome comments and discussion. Gerry G

Sugar's Effects on Your Health

Refined sugar is lethal when ingested by humans because it provides only that which nutritionists describe as “empty” or “naked” calories. It lacks the natural minerals which are present in the sugar beet or cane. Sugar is worse than nothing because it drains and leaches the body of precious vitamins and minerals through the demand its digestion, detoxification and elimination makes upon one’s entire system. Sugar taken every day produces a continuously over acid condition, and more minerals are required from deep in the body in the attempt to rectify the imbalance.

Consumption of Sugar

• In the last 20 years, we have increased sugar consumption in the US 26 lbs. to 135 lbs. of sugar per person per year! Prior to the turn of this century (1887-1890), the average consumption was only 5 lbs. per person per year! Cardiovascular disease and Cancer was virtually unknown in the early 1900’s.

• The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals.

• The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch. With so many reasons why sugar is bad for us, is there perhaps one single reason as to why we might need it? The only interesting thing about sugar is that it tastes good and makes us temporarily feel good.

History of Sugar

• Whereas sugar had been around in minute quantities for several thousand years , it was practically unknown and formed an insignificant part of the average diet in the Classical civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome. The Greeks (who had a word for nearly everything) did not even have a word for it. Even in the Medieval Europe it was practically unknown and then only a rare delicacy in the royal courts.

• During the last major Crusade that ended in 1204 some of the Christian Crusaders were introduced to sugar freely used by the Saracens. The Moors when invading and colonizing the southern part of Spain grew sugar cane on Spanish soil and refined sugar. When Spain drove out the Moors, it inherited some of the cane plantations. It was during this time that Christendom took its first bite of the forbidden fruit and liked it!!

• The white crystalline substance we know of as sugar is an unnatural substance produced by industrial processes (mostly from sugar cane or sugar beets) by refining it down to pure sucrose, after stripping away all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and other beneficial nutrients.

• Honey is a simple sugar. Although honey is a natural sweetener, it is considered a refined sugar because 96% of dry matter are simple sugars: fructose, glucose and sucrose. Honey has the highest calorie content of all sugars with 65 calories/tablespoon, compared to the 48 calories/tablespoon found in table sugar. What nutrients or enzymes raw honey does contain are destroyed by manufacturers who heat it in order to give it a clear appearance to enhance sales. If you are going to consume honey, make sure it is raw, unheated honey.

AMAZING FACTS ABOUT YOUR BODY

• In one square inch of skin lies four yards of nerve fibers, 1300 nerve cells, 100 sweat glands, three million cells and three yards of blood vessels.

• In one hour, your heart works hard enough to produce the equivalent energy to raise almost one ton of weight one yard off the ground.

• Your liver performs over 500 different functions.

• Your heart beats 40 million times per year.

• Your heart beats 3,000 million times in the average lifetime and pumps 40 million gallons of blood.

• Your blood travels 60,000 miles per day.

• Placed end to end, all your body’s blood vessels would measure about 62,000 miles.

• Your brain sends messages at 240 mph.

• About 400 gallons of blood flows through your kidney’s daily.

• 50,000 cells in your body die every 6 seconds and 50,000 new cells are born.

You can see that it is very important that your body is given the best fuel (nutrients) available for those new cells to survive and be healthy. From this information you can see that your body is fearfully and wonderfully made. You can do something to help maintain that wonderful Body.

As you probably know, we are facing many health issues today! Good health is a choice, your choice. You only have one life so protect it.

Six Major Diseases Treatening Your Health & Life Today

) Heart Disease 2) Cancer 3) Obesity 4) Diabetes 5) Stroke 6) Arthritis
Does Anyone in Your Family Have Any of These Diseases?
1)Even people 20 years of age are having heart attacks. One out of three people who have a heart attack will die from the 1st attack. One-third of heart attacks have normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol. Heart disease kills one person in the United States every 34 seconds. The cost of treating heart disease today is $298 billion dollars.
2)There are were 560,000 cases of Cancer in 2007. Now, they are expecting 1.5 million new cases. Toxic chemicals in food and water are causing cancer. The four leading cancers are lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate. Colon Cancer is the #2 killer of cancer today. The leading cause of death between ages 20-29 is cancer. Every three minutes someone is being diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer. In one study, they found 286 toxic chemicals in the unborn fetus. The leading cause of death for children is cancer.
3)Two-thirds of people are overweight. Obesity is a major cause of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and joint problems. Obesity is also a leading cause of sleep apnea. For each inch a person gains around the waist, the body will develop 3 miles of blood vessels just to supply that inch. Obesity around the waist tremendously increases ones risk for heart disease.
4) Diabetes cases double about every 10 years. Diabetics are 5 times more likely to have a stroke. Over 40% of kidney failure is due to diabetes. Diabetics have a 60-70% risk for nerve damage resulting in limb amputation and blindness. Cirrhosis of liver increases at least 50% in diabetics. They are 2-3 times more likely to have a heart attack.
5) Over 100,000 people are now waiting for an organ transplant such as a heart, kidney, liver, lung, etc. Thousands die before they get the transplant. After the transplant, one can expect to spend $3,000-$4,000 every month for the rest of their life on drugs to help prevent the body from rejecting the organ.
Dr. Rath, an expert in cardiovascular disease and nutrition say heart disease can be almost eradicated by proper supplementation.
Dr. Harry Elwardt says there is no reason for this #1 killer of heart disease to rule the day. He says good diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements can change this.
Many experts believe that most of these diseases are caused by poor nutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Today people are spending 10 times more on natural alternative methods than just 10 years ago.
