Insulin Resistance and Cancer - 10 Steps to Beat It

Insulin resistance increases cancer risk due to excess glucose. Glucose is like cancer fertilizer. It helps cancerous cells grow and even invade surrounding tissure and organs. The best way to curtail the threat is to increase insulin sensitivity, thereby removng the cancer fertilizer from the blood - or at least lowering it. Cancer cells are greedy, and when glucose is lowered, they commit suicide - known technically as apoptosis. Reversing insulin resistance can be an easy 10 step process that modulates our hormones - I call it Hormone Intelligence Therapy (HIT). To learn more click HERE

How the Drug Industry Deceives Doctors

Following doctor’s orders has become synonymous with danger. Every year, FDA approved drugs kill twice as many people as the total number of U.S. deaths from the Vietnam War.[1] Death by medicine flourishes because deceit, not science, governs a doctor’s prescribing habits. As an ex-drug chemist, I witnessed this first-hand. This deceit comes in many forms. Medical ghostwriting and checkbook science are the most prominent. Doctors rely on peer-reviewed medical journals to learn about prescription drugs. These journals include the Lancet, British Medical Journal, New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association. It is assumed that these professional journals offer the hard science behind any given drug. This assumption is wrong. Medical journals can’t be trusted thanks to medical ghost writing. Medical ghostwriting is the practice of hiring PhD’s to crank out drug reports that hype benefits and hide negative side effects. Once complete, drug companies recruit doctor’s to put their name on the report as authors. These reports are then published in the above mentioned medical journals.[2] The carrot for this deceitful practice is money and prestige. Ghostwriters can receive up to $20,000 per report. Doctors receive prestige from having been published. Ultimately, patients get bad drugs disguised as good medicine. As deplorable as medical ghostwriting sounds, it is more common than you think. Dr. David Healy, of the University of Whales, predicts that 50% of journal drug reviews are written by ghostwriters.[3] Dr. Jeffrey Drazen, editor for the New England Journal of Medicine, insists that he cannot find drug review authors who do not have financial ties to drug companies. As a result, the journal had to relax their conflict-of-interest rules in 2000.[4] The editor of the British Journal of Medicine has acknowledged that medical ghostwriting has become a serious problem for his publication: “We are being hoodwinked by the drug companies. The articles come in with doctors’ names on them and we often find some of them have little or no idea about what they have written.”[5] Consider the testimony from deputy editor of The Journal of the American Medical Association: “This [journal articles] is all about bypassing science. Medicine is becoming a sort of Cloud Cuckoo Land, where doctors don’t know what papers they can trust in the journals, and the public doesn’t want to believe.”[6] Other weapons of mass deception exist – checkbook science. As defined by Diana Zuckerman, PhD, checkbook science is research intended not to expand knowledge or to benefit humanity, but instead to sell drugs. It has stolen the very soul of University research, scientific method, and the patients who serve as human subjects.[7] Drug companies use checkbook science to sponsor their own drug research via the halls of academia and government institutions. Money is used to design their own studies, interpret the results, and stuff negative data under the drug-rug. The drug-rug is a behemoth rug. It has to be. A myriad of negative drug data exists. Like medical ghostwriting, checkbook science is more common than you think. A third of academic professors have personal financial ties to drug makers.[8] Called the “Stealth Merger” by the LA Times, top scientists at the National Institutes of Health also collect paychecks and stock options from the drug industry.[9] This has been going on for over 20 years.[10] Known as the Bayh-Dole Act, U.S law was amended in 1980 to allow for these flagrant conflicts of interest. This calculated deceit is scandalous. Hopefully the line at the pharmaceutical trough gets shorter as this scandal becomes public. Though, drug makers have an insurance policy for this – Direct-to-Consumer advertising. The oft repeated “ask your doctor” ensures that the herd instinctively embraces drugs, drugs and more drugs. Understanding medical ghost writing and checkbook science explains why medical doctors have been hypnotized into drug worship – they only see the positive. It also explains why modern medicine is more deadly and lucrative than war – the danger has been silenced with the pen and money. Drug companies do not take responsibility for the wanton prescription drug deceit. Instead, victims have been made invisible - dehumanized. They are not recognized as children, or men with significant contribution to society. Their deaths are simply shrugged off and attributed to sickness or aging. Those who profit from prescription drugs should hold some sort of record for the having the most reckless disregard for human life. If the deceit continues the prescription drug leviathan will silently kill more people than Napalm dropped on Vietnamese villages.

Wal-Mart's $8.00 Cure to Deadly Blood Clots and Poor Cardivascular Function

Wal-Mart's $8 Cure to Deadly Blood Clots and Poor Cardiovascular Function

By: Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison Copyright © 2008 The Peoples Chemist

Prevention of heart attack and stroke doesn't have to be risky. One safe and inexpensive supplement can keep blood healthy, while controlling blood pressure! And you don't need a prescription to get it.

One minute you are enjoying a stroll in the park and the next you feel as if an elephant just stepped on you. Clutching your chest and violently gasping for air, you suffer the eventual outcome of heart disease: a premature heart attack or stroke.

The blockage comes from a blood clot and inflammation, usually within the coronary arteries. Millions of American's are choking down blood pressure meds (beta-blockers like Lopressor, Toprol-XL) and aspirin (or the deadly
Plavix) to avoid the death sentence. At the same time they are putting themselves at risk for the side effects of lethargy, obesity, heart disease, internal bleeding and even cancer. Both can be delayed and even stopped ­ naturally ­ for about $8 a month at Wal-Mart (purity confirmed by a Certificate of Analysis (COA)).

Used for thousands of years, hawthorn has proven to be a safe and effective method for ensuring healthy blood and arteries. It destroys potentially deadly blood clots on contact by preventing excess platelet aggregation and releasing pressure from the cardiovascular system.

Studying the benefits of hawthorn, the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy showed that it could successfully be used to treat heart failure, hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias! And most exciting, users won't suffer from nasty side effects and even protect their wallets from Big Pharma. Consider: Monthly cost of Plavix is about $100, Hawthorn is $8.

How to Protect Yourself From the Perfect Poison

By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison (C) 2007
If it tastes sweet spit it out, it might be DEG – a deadly ingredient commonly found in cough syrup, toothpaste and even vaccines. So deadly, it single handedly gave rise to the FDA in 1938. But the self appointed watch-dog has failed miserably at protecting the public from this perfect “organic” poison. The New York Times recently showed that “Over the years, the poison has been loaded into all varieties of medicine.”
A perfect poison is hard to come by. Most taste so nasty that the victim spits it out upon tasting it. This isn’t the case with DEG. It tastes like maple syrup. Therefore, it is easily swallowed. Victims have no idea that their kidney’s are about to fail. That breathing will become exceedingly difficult. That paralysis will set in and life end rapidly – before the word “poison” even crosses their mind.
The CIA loves perfect poisons like DEG. And so do governments – so it seems. A Chinese health official allowed the drug industry to unleash it on the open market. He was eventually sentenced to death. The Panamanian government mixed DEG into 260,000 bottles of cold medicine. In the US, the FDA “warns” against it. But it is still found on the shelves of our grocery stores.
Avoiding DEG is as simple as reading labels. It is a cheap replacement to glycerin, which is commonly used in toothpaste, over-the-counter meds, vaccines as well as hair and skin products. If used, it is listed in the ingredient list – the fine print ingredient list. In general, if you can’t pronounce the ingredients listed on the back, don’t use it. But you can look for it listed as: 3-Oxa-1,5-pentanediol, Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ether, 2,2'-Oxydiethanol, Diglycol, Dihydroxydiethyl ether; 2,2'-Dihydroxyethyl ether, Ethylene diglycol, 2,2'-Oxybisethanol, 2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)ethanol.

4 Ways to Avoid a Heart Attack

One minute you are enjoying a stroll in the park and the next you feel as if an elephant just stepped on you. Clutching your chest and violently gasping for air, you suffer the eventual outcome of heart disease: a premature heart attack. This can be stopped. The underlying cause of a heart attack is narrowing of the arteries. The process is known medically as atherosclerosis. Cardiologists often describe atherosclerosis as a plumbing problem: fat and cholesterol-laden gunk gradually builds up within the arteries. If this build-up grows thick enough, it eventually plugs an affected "pipe” and you die. In 2004, Time magazine told the world that there's just one problem with the cholesterol hypothesis: “Sometimes it's dead wrong.” More than half of the people who suffer from heart attacks have “low cholesterol.” And “high” cholesterol (300-350mg/dL) is a natural and healthy part of aging. The higher total blood cholesterol the longer (yes, longer) people live. Thus, if you want to avoid feeling like an elephant is crushing your chest, look beyond cholesterol. Coronary arteries bear little resemblance to pipes. Instead, they are made up of muscle sandwiched between two “structural” layers. When the muscle of arteries becomes inflamed “atherosclerosis” or heart disease can set in. This is initiated by damage to the innermost structural layer that faces the bloodstream. Science has made great strides in identifying what causes damage to this layer. Aside from smoking, the biggest culprit in today’s heart attack pandemic is high blood sugar (greater than 115). It leads to a condition known as insulin resistance or early Type-II diabetes. Suicide in slow motion, insulin resistance causes blood sugar to float in the blood longer than it should. Resistant to insulin, muscle no longer vacuums it from the bloodstream. Over time, blood sugar reacts with amino acids floating nearby. The product of this reaction is a Swiss Army knife termed advance glycated end (AGE) product. AGE products cut and stab deep into structural layers of coronary arteries.[1] Medically, this is termed glycation. The slicing and dicing explains why diabetics have four times the risk of heart attack relative to non-diabetics. Overcome with high blood sugar, they face the butchering process of AGE products. The surprise outcome is a premature heart attack. A wildly effective way to prevent the indiscriminant damage caused by AGE products is to control blood sugar or increase sensitivity to insulin. Aside from cinnamon, proper sunshine and green tea, other methods of controlling it have been discovered: 1. Interval training can lower blood sugar by up to 40%.[2] To put into perspective, commonly prescribed Metformin lowers blood by a paltry 19% while putting users at risk of obesity![3] 2. Nutritional supplementation with magnesium (400 mg/day) was found to improve high blood sugar among elderly individuals.[4] A magnesium deficiency inhibits insulin from escorting glucose out of the bloodstream into muscles. The end result is insulin resistance and an increased risk of heart attack. Magnesium aspartate is the best absorbed form of magnesium. 3. Tannic acid from the banaba leaf mimics the actions of insulin by eliciting glucose transport from the blood stream into muscle. The safe and effective blood-sugar lowering effect of tannic acid has caught the attention of Big Pharma. Many drug companies are working rigorously to create a synthetic knock-off. 4. Increasing fiber intake with a tablespoon of psyllium husk prevents dangerous spikes in blood sugar after a meal. Controlling blood sugar has become the absolute hottest area of research. Not only does it suggest a single way of ameliorating heart disease, but also a host of other diseases caused by high blood sugar. These include but are not limited to diabetes, cancer and even Alzheimer’s! Instead of dosing patients up with a handful of drugs to treat a handful of diseases, controlling blood sugar naturally is one remedy for all three!
