  Get the Lead Out By Jeannine Virtue Solid evidence links lead exposure to hyperactivity, learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder and failure to graduate from high school. Lead poisoning is also linked to a tendency toward violence and other emotional and behavioral problems. With over 25 percent of children containing blood lead levels high enough to lower IQ, cause learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, hyperactivity and/or disruptive behavior, lead poisoning remains a top environmental health hazard for children in the United States. Consider these lead exposure studies and then seriously consider oral chelation therapy to detoxify the body. A 2003 study (University of Pittsburgh) found that delinquent children were four times more likely to have elevated concentrations of lead in their bones. For this study, researchers tested the lead bone concentrations of high school students without behavioral problems against teens convicted in Juvenile Court. U...

  Mercury Poisoning and Oral Chelation By Jeannine Virtue Mercury is a poisonous neurotoxin commonly found in everyday sources - from drinking water to bleached flour and cosmetics. Behind lead, mercury is the second most common metal toxin and both can pose great physical and mental health problems. Learning problems, developmental delays and behavioral problems are linked to lead, mercury and other heavy metal exposure. A 2000 report by the National Academy of Sciences stated that toxic chemicals and other environmental factors cause about 3% of all developmental and neurological disorders in the United States. Mercury and heavy metal toxicity can cause or be mistaken for chronic conditions such as depression, fibromyalgia, autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, and a host of other serious disorders. Children are especially susceptible to heavy metal exposure. Even small amounts of lead, mercury and other heavy metals can pose a thr...

  Acid Reflux and Stress By Charles Stewart Richey Although it has not been proven scientifically, many people believe that stress is a major contributor to acid reflux disease. Physiologically, stress can cause the digestive system to come to a screeching halt. Food that should be moving along will linger and magnify the effects of acid reflux. Under stress the body sends energy to the muscles, via the blood stream, to help the body cope with a stressful situation. This means that less blood, or energy, is flowing to the digestive system. When digestion is slowed down in this manner, undigested food and gastric juices remain in the stomach much longer enhancing the occurrence of acid reflux. Stress can also cause people to experience changes in behavior like the immoderate consumption of alcohol and so called "comfort foods". It can also lead to late night binging and excessive smoking. All of these can trigger the symptoms of acid reflux by producing excessive acid in the s...

  Defend against Digestive Parasites with Coconut Oil By John Goh Parasites infect the intestines of both humans and animals and can cause a great deal of intestinal distress. Even when the parasites are diagnosed and treated, they can damage the intestinal lining, causing chronic health problems that persist for years. We often associate parasites with Third World countries and poor sanitation, but parasites are a problem everywhere, even in modern countries. In countries where sanitation is provided, people mistakenly assume that they are safe from parasites. But parasites are everywhere, always waiting for the opportunity to latch onto an unsuspecting host. There are two general groups of parasites. One consists of worms such as tape worms and roundworms. The second category is the protozoa, one-celled organisms. Protozoa like giardia and cryptosporidium normally live in the digestive tracts of many mammals. Public water supplies can become infected with these organisms whe...

  Fighting The War On Free Radicals By Steven Johnson Broadly speaking, the word antioxidant is used to mean a substance which helps to control oxidation rate in a reaction. This is an important phenomenon from the point of view of both chemistry as well as biology. In biology the group of organic substances consisting of vitamins A, C & E fall under this category apart from several other substances. Inside the living cells there is a presence of free radicals which are the byproducts of various natural biological processes. These free radicals consist of oxygen molecules which have the affinity to become oxidized. This oxidation process can lead to the development of cancer in those cells. Therefore the antioxidants help to neutralize those free radicals through chemical reactions which act as cleaning agents inside the human body. The importance of antioxidants from the human health point of view cannot be overemphasized. There are two ways people can increase their anti...

  Relieve Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with Natural Remedy By John Goh Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), once considered to be an imaginary ailment, is now recognized as a bona fide illness. While its cause is still pretty much a mystery, it has become a problem of growing concern. It is estimated that some three million Americans and 90 million people worldwide are affected by it. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by a relatively sudden onset of extreme fatigue, often following an infectious illness. The illness occurs most often in people in their 40s and 50s, but people of all ages can get CFS. One of the symptoms of CFS is severe exhaustion following moderate physical activity. Symptoms that persist for six months or more are a strong indication of CFS. Many people are affected by CHS without realising it. Read the following case to see if it is familiar to you. Michael noticed his level of energy deceasing as he was approaching his mid-forties. A couple of hours o...

  Take Lauric Acid for a Strong Immune System By John Goh Many health experts have promoted breastfeeding instead of feeding milk formula to babies. Today, many people know that mother's milk is more beneficial to babies and children than any other milk. However, many people do not know the following two astonishing facts. Mother's milk contains a higher percentage of cholesterol than almost any other food. More than 50% of the calories in mother's milk are fats, and much of these fats are saturated fats. Both cholesterol and saturated fat are essential for growth in babies and children, especially the development of the brain and nervous system. The main ingredient of saturated fat in human breast milk is lauric acid. Lauric plays an important role in nourishing and protecting babies. Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA), which has the additional beneficial function of being transformed into a substance called "monolaurin" in the human body. Monolaurin...

  Natural Stem Cell Therapy By Dr. David Orman Natural Stem Cell Research By Dr. David Orman www.hghplus.net hghplus@yahoo.com Mention the phrase "Stem Cell Research" and one will here a wide range of passionate reactions. The man who started all of this was Dr. Michael West. In late 2001 he made a dramatic discovery. He created the initial human embryonic stem cells which was published in the Journal of Regenerative Medicine. The end results from multiple perspectives were dramatic on all side. Some were hailing it as one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time. Others viewed it with a moral and ethical uneasiness. Dr. West on the other hand, was very apolitical about the whole subject. He reiterated that his (and his company and colleagues) intention was exclusively for therapies relating to diseases such as AIDS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and the like. Nothing whatsoever was related to the subject of cloning or other disturbing subjects. It was a potent...

  Tami flu-Putting an end to the widely spread effects of Flu By Silvia Avian influenza  or bird flu indicates itself as a viral infection. The onset of bird flu symptoms present themselves with coughing, nose and throat infection accompanied with high fever and irritating aches and pains.
