Sharks Don’t Get Cancer – Video

April 16th, 2013

Live as Long as a Shark

As many of you know, I devour every tiny tidbit of information about treating and preventing cancer.

Deep within ourselves we all know there has to be a cure out there, or at the very least, an answer to the terrifying tragedy of getting cancer.

When I first was told by a leading marine scientist, Dr. John Croft of New Zealand, who has led the world in the medicinal study of the shark species, that shark’s just don’t get cancer, that news literally floored me.

Inside the shark’s immune system is a brutally efficient and powerful immune system compound called “Alkyglycerol” or “AKG”, for short. This compound, also found in mother’s breast milk by the way, is the key to the shark’s amazing longevity, as it has far outlived the dinosaurs and their lifespan exceeds our own by 25 years.

Was this the great missing link in the treatment and prevention of cancer and all immune system diseases?

Watch today’s video and you be the judge and jury on this matter.

Keys to a Longer Life – Part II

May 2nd, 2012

Even though we think we can eat whatever we want, our body has to deal with every choice we make. Choosing what foods we put into our body can upset a delicate balance between war and peace – between health and disease.

Without sufficient probiotics, the body is vulnerable to obesity, suppressed immune response and even cancer. Intestinal bacterial composition is a huge component when fighting these health problems – even more important than dieting, exercising and genetic makeup.

In her book, The Alchemy of Nourishment, Esther Cohen states that our digestive tract, specifically the intestines, provide home for 70% of our immune system. These bacteria provide immunity we don’t have to work for – they work for us.

Probiotics are the soldiers on the front line of the battle for our health, protecting us and constantly guarding against unhealthy bacteria and pathogens invading our body. We just need to provide them with the right environment to keep them nourished.

When we go out of our way to take extra probiotics, we actively become resilient and improve our ability to adapt to any disease invasion.

12-Step Winter Wellness Program

November 10th, 2011

A Chinese doctor in Shanghai told me once that the average person in America gets 3 to 5 colds a year – and for children its double that! Not to mention nagging coughs, wheezing lungs, runny noses and high temperatures.

“Funny isn’t it,” he said, “in China barely anyone gets the cold or flu, no matter whether they are very young or very old.”

So what’s their secret?

Despite the billions upon billions spent on high tech pharmaceutical drugs, no drug company has been able to figure out a cure for the common cold! Every year the health police come out forcing people to get a useless (and dangerous in my opinion) flu vaccine shot.

I’ve said it countless times – there is no “Magic Bullet” to beat any disease – cancer, diabetes or the common cold. It takes a total “PROGRAM” to beat the problem.

Just two years ago, in 2009, we had the Swine Flu pandemic and the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control spent hundreds of millions with the drug companies to hurry and make a vaccine. It is estimated that between 11-21% of the world population came down with the H1N1 virus anyway, over 18,000 people died from it and the vaccine didn’t even work – and most likely further compromised everyone’s immune system that took it. (Source: Wikipedia)

We take pride in the fact that for customers who followed our Swine Flu Protection Program, we did not get one single report of Swine Flu. This year we’ve upgraded the program to a Total Winter Wellness Program. 12-Steps to follow, now and forever. This is pure Gold in it’s value. Print it out, follow it and you can kiss the common cold and dreaded Flu virus goodbye, most likely forever.


Dr. G’s Twelve-Step Winter Wellness Program

  1. Drink more water. Our body composition is 74% water. Fluid and electrolyte balance is a major function of homeostasis (balance), which is our body’s ability to maintain its internal environment as it adjusts to challenges and stress. Do you have any of these signs of dehyration?
    • Thirst, dry mouth, cramping, headaches, weakness, foggy thinking, fatigue, bloating, dark yellow urine, significant weight loss or decreased sweat during exercise
  2. Cook more meals at home. Winter weather is the perfect time for heavier soups and stews with root vegetables and garlic.
  3. Increase whole grains.
  4. Increase sweet vegetables. Red and yellow peppers are deliciously sweet raw or stir-fried and an excellent source of Vitamin C. Carrots and beets are sweet and rich in carotenoids, potent phyto-nutrients that fight free radicals and support immunity. Use these along with other root vegetables to create your comfort food the winter nights.
  5. Increase leafy green vegetables. Especially Kale, which is one the most nutrient dense foods available.
  6. an image of the book cover for the 3 Season Diet - Eat  the Way Nature Intended by John DouillardExperiment with protein. For the Vegetarians and Vegans who get cold easily, experiment with adding homemade beef both or small amounts of grass-fed or wild-caught fish to your diet once or twice weekly during the winter. Studies show this may enhance regulation of body temperature. For more on this topic, read the article To Meat or Not to Meat by Vanessa Johansson in this month’s Catalyst Magazine and also the 3 Season Diet by John Douillard.
  7. Consume less dairy, sugar, coffee and alcohol. I don’t really need to mention to mention to eliminate highly-processed, chemically-infused, artificial junk foods and sodas, do I?
  8. Nurture yourself more often. Spend more time with friends and deeper relationships that support you. Make an appointment for a massage. You will be amazed in the results!
  9. Add more fermented foods with “healthy bacteria” (called Probiotics) to your diet.
  10. Find a physical activity you enjoy and do it regularly. Daily exercise is vitally important to your health and well being.
  11. Find work you love or a way to love the work you have.
  12. Develop a spiritual practice. Studies have shown this can enhance of your health and life.

Vitamin D Pregnancy Scandal

January 26th, 2011

“Today’s newsletter is about a major crime occurring right under our noses, every day.

It’s the mainstream medical world’s refusal to acknowledge the vital role that Vitamin D3 plays in pregnancy and the future life of a child.

This report, from Dr. John Cannell of the Vitamin D Council, analyzes this “crime” of giant proportions and leaves but one intelligent solution – make sure you and your family on are high, daily intake of Vitamin D3.

Please read every word of today’s newsletter, someone you know should also read it.”

Reprinted with permission from the Vitamin D Newsletter, January 2011

Dear Dr Cannell:

Thank You for solving what has been a mystery to me for 45 years. I am an orthopedic radiographer (RT(R). I am very involved with Dexa scans and Vitamin D.

Until your recent letter I thought that my son just had poor bones when he was an infant. His x-rays in our office looked like it could be a battered child. Thank God I knew better and was believed. He was then sent to physical therapy to help with balance and coordination, where on the first day fell and broke both wrists. The endocrinologists and orthopedists could find no reason for his soft bones.

That was 38 years ago.

He turned out to be a fine young man and a RN. His life was tragically cut short at the age of 30 but I wish he could read your letter and know that it was not his fault or mine that he had so many fractures. Not until I started doing Dexa scans did I have my 25 OH Vitamin D level checked, it was 9 ng/ml.

Thank you for your dedication to the understanding of Vitamin D. At our orthopedic practice, we are still showing about a 70% vitamin D deficiency on new patients. Some of or family practice and primary care gate keepers are finally seeing the light as it used to be about 85%.

Sincerely
Paul Simpson

Feds Finally Wake Up to Fluoride Dangers

January 11th, 2011

Simply Amazing!

Oftentimes it seems like we are the lone heretic ranting and raving about the toxic dangers entering in our food and water. Last spring, we published an article about the hidden dangers that occur when Fluoride is added to our drinking water. If you missed the article, click here to read it.

Well, on Friday, Jan 7th, federal health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finally admitted that American’s are getting too much fluoride, and for the first time in nearly 50 years, reduced the recommended level from 1.2 parts per million to 0.7. That’s a reduction of nearly 50%!

While we applaud the Fed’s decision to lower the recommended levels, the only acceptable level of fluoride in our drinking water is no fluoride at all!

Read today’s article, watch the highly informative video and then take the next step to protect your family with the purest water on the planet right in your kitchen.


U.S. says too much fluoride in water

ATLANTA (AP) — Fluoride in drinking water, credited with dramatically cutting cavities and tooth decay, may now be too much of a good thing. Getting too much of it causes spots on some kids’ teeth.

A reported increase in the spotting problem is one reason the federal government will announce Friday it plans to lower the recommended levels for fluoride in water supplies, the first such change in nearly 50 years.

About 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride, a surprising government study found recently. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by the mineral, though many cases are so mild only dentists notice it.

Health officials note that most communities have fluoride in their water supplies, and toothpaste has it too. Some kids are even given fluoride supplements.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is announcing a proposal to change the recommended fluoride level to 0.7 milligrams per liter of water. And the Environmental Protection Agency will review whether the maximum cutoff of 4 milligrams per liter is too high. The standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the splotchy tooth condition, fluorosis, is unexpectedly common in kids ages 12 through 15. And it appears to have grown much more common since the 1980s.
