Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity

Chemicals and toxins accumulate in fat tissue. The more chemicals and toxins, the more fat the body manufactures.

Synthetic chemicals, which have been used to fatten up animals for meat production by reducing their ability to use their own existing fat stores, also contribute to weight gain in humans. Animals fed low doses of organophosphates gain weight on less food. While their use as growth promoters in meat production has been banned after research found them highly toxic, organophosphates remain a common pesticide and are used in the manufacture of gasoline additives, lubricating oil, and rubber. 

Dr. Baillie-Hamilton MD - "Once organophosphates get into your body, chances are they will proceed to damage your weight control systems, making it just that little bit harder to lose weight in the future,"

Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets

An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Baillie-Hamilton MD, explains how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems. "These chemicals are simply not going to go away,"  Institute reports "pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world" and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.

Without a nutritionally rich diet that nourishes and assists the body in cleansing these substances from the body, the body will lose its strength and vitality. The immune system will become suppressed, contributing to an increase in illness, disease and excess body fat - a major killer in America today. These chemicals and toxins accumulate over time, and cause the liver and kidneys to become overworked and weak. Research has shown that stress causes the adrenals to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers over-indulgence in simple carbohydrates: chocolate, candy, sodas, and ice cream, even when you are not hungry. Excess cortisol contributes to hormone imbalances. Most people who struggle with an overweight condition blame themselves for lack of discipline or willpower. While good eating habits are important, the real problem has to do with a much larger issue, our food supply.

Powerful Detoxification and Totally Natural Weight Loss Program All-In-One

There is a company that offers a most unique and healthy approach to weight loss that I have ever seen - the feedback about this program is amazing to say the least!  Their approach to cleansing is based upon supporting your body's own built-in cleansing system. Each time you exhale, cough, sneeze, sweat or use the bathroom your body is removing toxins. In our society, however, most of us are subjected to more toxins than the body was designed to handle. As these toxins build up over time they can cause many difficult health conditions. Many of these toxins come from the processed foods that we eat - they are loaded with artificial colorings, artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners and chemical preservatives.

This program is called the Tri-Decathlon and it includes a 13 day supply of delicious foods - everything that you'll need to eat and drink for 13 days. During these 13 days you will be eating only pure, delicious whole foods and everything comes ready to eat! When you stop putting toxins into your body, your body's own built-in cleansing system has a chance to catch up. In the first few days, the toxins will flow out of your body like never before. Then, beginning around day 5, your body will begin to cleanse deeper and deeper until every single cell in your body has been cleansed and properly hydrated. There is no other cleansing program that I know of like this. For those who want to lose weight, nothing can be better. One of the symptom of obesity is a stretched stomach. Many people have stretched their stomachs to twice or even three times its normal size by eating super sized fast food meals and going to all-you-can-eat buffets. If you have stretched your stomach to twice its normal size, for example, then you have to eat twice a normal amount of food to feel satisfied - you can never lose weight like that.

With the Tri-Decathlon program you will be eating small meals through out the day, in fact, they recommend eating every 90 minutes from morning to night! You can eat and chew all day long! But here's the key - you are eating small meals and this gives your stomach a chance to shrink back to its normal size. After the 13 days you'll be amazed to see how a small amount of food leaves you feeling completely full and satisfied. They also have a 24 hour recorded info line that has more information for you as you go through your 13 days. Each day, you simply call in when it's convenient for you and listen to all of the wonderful information, tips, suggestions and answers to frequently asked questions. The most incredible part is that this program comes with an unconditional money back guarantee! The worst possible case scenario is that you would eat free for two weeks. If you really want to lose weight then this is the program for you. After 13 days many people report:

    * Being Mentally Sharper!
    * Being more Focused, Positive and Energetic!
    * Having reduced Reflux - Naturally!
    * Being closer to their Optimal Weight!
    * Having a greater sense of Inner Well Being!

PROCESSED FOODS AND WEIGHT LOSS  Perhaps you can now understand your challenge in a different light. Our processed and packaged food supply is inundated with artificial chemicals that give the junk foods flavor, color, sweetness, and a long shelf life. Over time, these chemicals build up in your body causing your body's nutritional system to become confused, clogged, and locked into fat-storing mode. The first step to healthy weight loss is cleansing your body of these chemicals and understanding your body's need for fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, and berries - otherwise known as whole foods. We'll tell you more about our foods in a moment. First we need to untangle a few of the "myths" and misunderstandings about losing weight - let's start with topic of skipping meals. more

THE "LOW-FAT" MYTH   Healthy fats are not the enemy. Fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, & K are worthless without fat. Whole foods like nuts and seeds contain the essential fatty acids that your body needs to be healthy.  Nutritional fiber is only found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and berries. The acid in your stomach will not completely dissolve these natural fibers, so eating them fills you up faster and keeps you full longer.  Processed foods contain large amounts of Omega-6 oils which interfere with the body's use of the healthy Omega-3 oils.

THE EXERCISE MYTH  To create energy your body burns fat or it burns blood sugar (glucose), but it can’t burn them both at the same time. When you’re not doing anything strenuous your body burns fat. When you exercise into the aerobic zone (70% or more of your max. heart rate) your body will stop burning fat and instantly begin to burn blood sugar – because blood sugar can be converted to energy much faster than fat. Aerobic exercise will burn fat – but only after you’ve depleted your available blood sugar – which, for most people takes at least 20 to 30 minutes of being in the aerobic zone. Countless overweight individuals are on the exercise bikes and tread mills, pedaling and running, until their heart almost pounds out of their chest but they are not burning fat. The first 30 minutes only burns off blood sugar – after that you’d need another 30 minutes to burn any fat. Walking is the best type of exercise for healthy weight loss. Walking burns fat. Walking also builds lean muscle which “feeds” on the body’s excess fat. Walk daily, eat whole foods, drink plenty of water, and turn your body into a healthy, energetic, fat burning machine that incinerates fat 24 hours a day!

Loosing Weight Effortlessly on Raw Food Diet

In the early eighties, when I was 30, I weighted 185 pounds, I suffered from chronic fatigue and I was sick most of the time with one thing or another. I was also a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the medical establishment (which I think of as the "disease" establishment because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness) who wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get "well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. When I turned to holistic health I lost 60 pounds in 3 months effortlessly. (and never had to struggle again to keep my weight down) and my energy level and stamina improved dramatically. I was able to function better overall. I became calmer, centered and focused, and generally I felt happier and became much healthier.learn more

For years Shelly suffered from weight problems and  many illnesses; daily migraines, insomnia, muscle pain and weakness, chronic sinusitis, LGS (leaky gut syndrome), and more. All of which came on suddenly and mysteriously. The pain of the migraines, muscle pain, loss of libido, hair loss, etc. came on shortly after having received the injections of depo-provera - a form of birth control. Three doctors reassured me that depo-provera could not cause these problems. They were wrong. Raw food diet, juicing, and fasting helped her lose a lot of weight and  reversed her illnesses.

Marine PhytoPlankton - It's Effect on  Healing and Loosing Weight

Effortless Weight Loss with Marine Phytoplankton
A testimonial from John Booth, Florida

While visiting my family after Christmas of 2006 my wife and I had been telling my brother about how much weight we had slowly but surely managed to put on since we turned 50.  He mentioned he was having trouble staying below 200 lbs.  My family is not large in stature.  In fact, the men are a bit below average in the 5' 8" to 5' 10'' range so our ideal weight as a young adult should be between 140 and 150 lbs.

 I am now 56 and most health sites show my ideal weight at my age to be 161 lbs (weight/height/age example website).  When I was in my twenties I weighed between 141 and 145 lbs so I think 161lbs is realistic.  My wife is only an inch shorter at 5'7" and the same site shows her ideal weight to be 136 lbs.  At the time we started our research to plan our diet I weighed 187 lbs and my wife weighed 150 lbs.  I need to lose 25 lbs and she needed to lose 14 lbs to reach our ideal weight.

Living on the Gulf Coast gave us a low cal resource in seafood, but we both love to eat and try out new recipes!  We were shooting for a balanced diet concentrating on portion control.  Reducing portions seemed the simplest way to reduce weight.  The same weight and health sites showed if I kept my calorie count under 1552 calories a day and my wife kept hers under 1275 calories a day we would steadily lose weight. We also became  religious in reading calories/serving on everything before purchasing or eating it.  We chose fruit to supplement between meals and for breakfast, and low cal snack foods like rice cakes and pork chicharrones after work, but before dinner.  We knew we were not going to see results quickly but steadily.  This was, in fact, the case.  After a month on our portion control diets I had lost 10 lbs, and my wife had lost 5 lbs with slight variation day to day depending on our meal plan which was to be expected.  We had figured from the start that it would take us about three months to reach our goal of ideal body weight.

The biggest problem we had during the first month was feeling really hungry prior to mealtime.  Researching the web I ran across a site that talked about bee pollen as a whole food source so we tried it and found it seemed to help a bit with feeling so hungry before meals.  It was during this research on bee pollen that I ran across Shirley's Wellness Cafe site, and watched a video on a new whole food product called Frequen-sea.  The product contained phytoplankton which contains all the nutrients required ( the list is huge) to sustain a healthy body.  We had been going to our local health food store for many years purchasing organically plant derived liquid minerals and vitamins to supplement our diet.  We rarely catch the colds or flu's that come around every year. However, we were so intrigued by the video, we  decided to try the product since we figured if it contained all these nutrients we could just take it daily instead.  We would try it for a month and see what happened.

We received our Marine Phytoplankton  order which instructed that  you should take between 1/2 - 1 ounce daily.  We decided to go for the lower dosage of 1/2 ounce daily.  The next day I heard my wife say from the bathroom in a very excited voice that she lost 5 lbs.  Shocked and skeptical I told her she had to be wrong!  I checked the scales which also measure body fat and water to ensure she was not mistaken and got her to step on the scales again.  Well, there it was!  She had dropped from 145 lbs to 140 lbs in one day!  I congratulated her and didn't really think about it again until I stepped on the scale later on that morning.  I had lost 6.5 lbs dropping from 177 lbs to 171.5 lbs!  I was so excited I called her at work to tell her!  I had her check her weight on the scales in the nurse's office at the school in which she is the Media Specialist, and it was the same.  Hallelujah!

Prior to taking the marine phytoplankton,  we had seemed to hit a period where we were not making as much progress, but we felt that was to be expected. The variance was always a pound to a pound and a half for me and one to  two pounds for my wife. I think this is normal as women have more water weight issues than men do.  The real test was the next few days to see if the weight remained steady.  Over the next few days our weight varied only slightly  depending on what we ate such as seafood vs beef.    As far as the rather dramatic weight loss after the first dose the only thing we can figure is that something in the Frequensea helped our bodies reach a state of metabolism we had never reached before.

 In addition, we discovered over the next few days that we weren't nearly as hungry between meals.  We could go much longer and not even think about food.  By the time we felt hungry it was already noon!  Not only did we get this added benefit, but we felt better overall, and our energy level increased significantly.  As of February 15th I had lost 17 lbs at 169.5 lbs.  I can't imagine not taking Marine Phytoplankton as a whole food supplement to ensure good health as my mind is sharper and I feel energized.  It is the first thing I think about each morning.  I don't know if it will help everyone lose some extra unwanted weight, but I know it has helped us achieve a sense of  completeness and well being that we have never experienced before." John Booth

22 pounds lighter and feeling great! "I have been using one ounce of marine phytoplankton daily for four months and I am delighted because I am 22 pounds lighter. This product curbs my appetite and I have to make myself eat. When I sleep it is a very sound sleep and I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and rested. I have noticed that my vision has improved and I can read small print again. I have so much energy now, and I attribute all of these health improvements to the marine phytoplankton tonic." Donna Davis 

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume d use oxygen. Adaptogens an also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  more about marine phytoplankton's healing power 

"I had back surgery in 1979 and 1982. I spent a year in bed trying to get rid of the inflammation, which didn't work so I have spent the last 25 years on painkillers and anti inflammatories. I also have high blood pressure, GERD, Fibromyalgia, Pan Sinusitis (operated on in 2005) and heel spurs, and of course a weight problem. I am a walking talking piece of art. I started taking Marine Phytoplankton two weeks before Easter. I started with a bang! 1 oz. in the morning and 1 oz. at night, with the idea that if it works - great! (I really didn't expect that it would). I would give it a valiant effort and take one case. If there were no changes, then I wasn't buying anymore. This Easter I had 16 people over for dinner. We left on that Wed. for Fairmont for 4 days and on the next Friday I drove to Red Deer for a three-day convention. I usually do the family gatherings here at home as I am always on painkillers and anti inflammatories. Surprise, I didn't need any and my leg didn't burn! While I was in Fairmont we sat around and ate and ate, and then went to the convention and sat for hours and hours and ate way too much the rest of the time. Normally I don' t sit well, I'm usually the one in the back pacing back and forth, but not this time. After all this eating for two weeks, I thought if I only put on 5-7 pounds that I would be laughing. I actually lost weight! That is unbelievable for me!  have lost weight every single week since I started taking Marine Phytoplankton (now affectionately know as Mom's "joy juice"). I have more energy, the Fibromyalgia is almost non-existent, and my blood pressure pills and my Losec for the GERD have been cut in half. My feet don't bother me, and my specialist who did my surgery for the pan sinusitis said to keep taking my steroids or I will be back in for another surgery, guaranteed - but it all looks great! Little does he know that I haven't taken the steroids at all. My family doctor wants me to take the Marine Phytoplankton at the 2 oz. per day for three months and then see her. She had noticed that I had lost weight, moved better, and looked better (lack of pain will do that for you). She is very interested in Marine Phytoplankton. My only pain now is sore cheeks from smiling, and I am constantly saying I can't believe that I don't have any pain - it's awesome!"  D. K.

Weight Gain, Obesity and Stress

Perhaps the most important cause of obesity is something that we all face – the everyday stress of modern life. When under chronic stress, your adrenal glands overproduce the hormone cortisol. Although cortisol is necessary in normal amounts, an excess of this stress hormone can create a cascade of harmful side effects, many of which can cause weight gain – no matter how vigilantly you diet or exercise!  Cortisol causes:

 Activation of fat-storage hormones and enzymes. 

 Conversion of protein in the body into unwanted sugar and fat. 

 Halt in secretion of fat-burning human growth hormone (hGH). 

 Accumulation of dangerous 'apple-type' abdominal fat. 

 Increase in appetite and cravings for sweet and fatty foods. 

Progressive insulin resistance, which leads to type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and the other health risks associated with obesity

Thyroid Health: A Key to Weight Loss
Excerpt from Dr. Mercola's article

Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield  - "It has been known since the latter part of the 19th century that certain communities, notably in Argentina, India and Turkey were chronically ill, with premature ageing, arthritis, mental retardation, and infertility; and high levels of natural fluorides in the water were responsible. Not only was it clear that the fluoride was having a general effect on the health of the community, but in the early 1920s Goldemberg, working in Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing iodine; thus compounding the damage and rendering the community also hypothyroid from iodine deficiency."  The Effects Of Fluoride On The Thyroid Gland

Many dietary oils can negatively affect thyroid health. We cook with them almost every day and they are plentiful in commercially prepared foods. Expeller-pressed or solvent-extracted oils only became a major part of the American diet in the last century. It is possible they are among the worst offenders when it comes to the thyroid. They are known as vegetable oils or polyunsaturated oils. The most common source of these oils used in commercially prepared foods is the soybean.

Large-scale cultivation of soybeans in the United States began after World War II and quickly increased to 140 billion pounds per year. Most of the crops are produced for animal feed and soy oil for hydrogenated fats such as margarine and shortening. Today, it is nearly impossible to eat at restaurants or buy packaged foods that don’t have soy oil in the ingredients. Often labels simply state “vegetable oil.” 

Ray Peat Ph.D., a physiologist who has worked with progesterone and related hormones since 1968, says that the sudden surge of polyunsaturated oils into the food chain post World War II has caused many changes in hormones. He writes:

"Their [polyunsaturated oils] best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Unsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of estrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the ‘protective hormones’ progesterone and pregnenolone, so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything that blocks the thyroid function. 

There is a growing body of research concerning soy’s detrimental affect on the thyroid gland. Much of this research centers on the phytoestrogens ("phyto" means plant) that are found in soy. In the 1960s when soy was introduced into infant formulas, it was shown that soy was goitrogenic and caused goiters in babies. When iodine was supplemented, the incidence of goiter reduced dramatically. 

However, a retrospective epidemiological study by Fort, et al. showed that teenaged children with a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease were significantly more likely to have received soy formula as infants (18 out of 59 children; 31 percent) when compared to healthy siblings (nine out of 76, 12 percent) or control group children (seven out of 54; 13 percent). (2)

When healthy individuals without any previous thyroid disease were fed 30 grams of pickled soybeans per day for one month, Ishizuki, et al. reported goiter and elevated individual thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (although still within the normal range) in thirty-seven healthy, iodine-sufficient adults. 

One month after stopping soybean consumption, individual TSH values decreased to the original levels and goiters were reduced in size. (3)

Here are the readings from that date to today, March 3rd...starting with January 22nd: (I missed taking my readings a few days along the way, but here are most of them...also you'll note a couple of times my readings jumped up a bit...probably a result of eating out, but still remained in the excellent range.) OK, here are the readings: 108, 94, 104, 102, 117, 109, 96, 110, 92, 98, 93, 97, 85, 109, 115, 121, 105, 91, 86, 101, 84, 103, 94, 87, 91, 107, 97, 103, 89, 94, 102. That comes out to an average daily reading of 99.48. Remember, between 80 and 120 is considered excellent." Mike Warren

Insulin Resistance Syndrome and Low Carb Diet
More and more people in the U.S. are becoming obese, physically inactive, or both.  Obesity and physical inactivity aggravate insulin resistance.  Also, people who are insulin resistant typically have an imbalance in their blood lipids (blood fat). In the 1890s, an American doctor, Helen Densmore, modeled diets on Banting. She tells how she and her patients lost an average 10-15 lbs (4.5-6.8 kg) in the first month on the diet and then 6-8 lbs (2.7-3.6 kg) in subsequent months 'by a diet from which bread, cereals and starchy food were excluded.

The No-Grain Diet: Conquer Carbohydrate Addiction and Stay Slim for Life
Dr. Joseph Mercola

The No-Grain Diet brings a realistic viewpoint to the problems of weight loss in a genuine effort to improve the health of an ever-growing number of obese Americans. Offering a variety of "food plans," along with a set of techniques aimed at controlling emotional eating and cravings for "bad" foods, Dr. Joseph Mercola clearly understands how to motivate us--in one section, he suggests that rather than "living by the scale," we measure our success in relation to the fit of our favorite pair of slightly-too-snug jeans. Many recipes are included, most of which are free of the boring flavor substitutes so common in diet books. 

The diet itself combines several familiar concepts. The "no grain" model emphasizes organic vegetables and quality protein, with limited fruits and absolutely no simple carbs. Mercola's idea of "quality protein" is somewhat startling--he is deeply concerned about toxins, and urges grass-fed beef over potentially mercury-filled fish. His main point is frequently reinforced: refined grains of any type are basically deadly and eating them should be viewed as an unhealthy addiction. 

"I travelled 3,000 miles to be treated in Dr. Mercola's clinic - he is a pioneer. There are many of us with gluten allergies and sugars are surely poisoning all of our bodies. This diet used together with the Metabolic Typing Diet has me on the road to healing from Fibromyalgia. An added benefit has been that my Allergies have disappeared and I'm losing extra pounds."  amazon reader
 
 

Nutrition for Children and Babies
There are many serious consequences of generation after generation having diets deficient in an element essential for normal development of the nervous system. In 1996, Laura J. Stevens, of the Department of Foods and Nutrition, Purdue University, and co-investigators published an extremely important paper in Physiology and Behavior. The researchers found that boys with lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood showed more problems with behavior, learning, and health than those with higher levels of total omega-3 fatty acids.  Here, you'll also learn the importance of enzymes and of bee pollen which is often referred to as nature's most complete food.

Fat Land : How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World  Childhood obesity, diabetes, and related illnesses are becoming major health problems in America. Nutrition journalist Critser presents a critical analysis of the many social and economic factors that make Americans, contrary to the book's subtitle, the second-fattest people in the world (the South Sea Islanders are fatter). He blames parents' reluctance to monitor their children's eating habits; the marketing tactics of fast-food companies, which influence us to overeat; the preponderance of fad diets; the phasing out of physical education programs in schools; and the sale of fast foods at schools to save money on dining facilities. Lower-income families have higher rates of obesity regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, which the author attributes to lack of information about diet and exercise and the wide diversity of cultural beliefs about weight, body size, and self-esteem. Critser urges Americans to tackle obesity head on, concluding with descriptions of initiatives that worked when communities launched a cooperative effort to change their eating habits and avoid the path to lifelong obesity. An important work that belongs in all nutrition and public health collections.

If that same person switched back to the original eating pattern, however, health returned and the progression of dental decay stopped and reversed itself. This is perhaps the most uplifting aspect of Price's work: one can always reverse the trend; there is always hope. " more

I Escaped Fat Prison
“I used to have problems with food allergies, sinus infections, chronic yeast and parasites.  I was addicted to laxatives and taking 7 different medications for bi-polar disorder.  Most days, I could not function from the side effects. As a result of these anti-depressants, I went from a size 10 to a size 18  in six months.    I tried for 2 years to get the weight off. Nothing happened.  After just a few days of taking AFA algae, I went from being seriously depressed to the world suddenly being a wonderful place.  Two weeks later, I had lost 13 pounds, with a total of 40 pounds in 3 months.  I haven’t been on any medication for depression since.  My digestive system now works on its own, and allergies and sinus infections are a thing of the past.” – Debra Belton-Harkley, Wellness Coach

MSG - Slowly  Poisoning America - and creating obesity

The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of exercise in obesity. Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA. Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002 

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, and spent years working for the government. 

He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America. In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. 

No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with a chemical when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and humans?) to become obese They even have a title for the race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats" . 

MSG was in everything! The Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings, especially the 'healthy low fat' ones. The items that didn't have MSG had something called Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate. It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. They hide MSG under many different names in order to fool those who catch on.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD - "What if someone were to tell you that a chemical (MSG) added to food could cause brain damage in your children, and that this chemical could effect how your children's nervous systems formed during development so that in later years they may have learning or emotional difficulties?"

Fats That Make You Thin    (flaxseed oil and other healthy oils)
It may go against all you've been taught, but the right kind of fats are  your friends when it comes to weight loss. Good fats provide satiety and stabilize blood sugar levels, helping you feel full and satisfied for hours instead of minutes. These healthy fats can even boost the body's metabolic rate and, since fat is metabolized slowly, decrease the rate at which carbohydrates are released into your system. It's just a matter of knowing which fats are good for you and how to get them into your diet.

Flaxoil to help lose weight
"Adding flaxseed oil to your foods, or taken with a meal, creates a feeling of satiation (feeling of fullness and satisfaction following a meal). The essential fats in flaxseed oil cause the stomach to retain food for a longer period of time as compared to no-fat or low-fat foods. The addition of Flax Oil to food results in a gradual release of nutritients into the small intestine. The physiological effect is a slow, sustained rise in blood sugar, then a prolonged plateau of blood sugar. Ultimately, the blood sugar undergoes a slow and gradual drop. You will experience a corresponding feeling of prolonged energy, stamina and satisfaction with no immediate hunger pangs following the meal. The net result is that you feel fuller, longer and, actually eat fewer calories in the long run than if you would have chosen a no-fat or low-fat diet." 
 

Eat Fat, Lose Weight : The Right Fats Can Make You Thin for Life 
It may go against all you've been taught, but trust me: Fat is your friend when it comes to weight loss. It is my belief that most weight gain is more related to this nation's over-consumption of fat-free carbohydrates than a result of too much fat. And while we're over-consuming carbs, we're suffering from a nutritional deficiency. Yes, believe it. We're not getting enough good fat. Good fats provide satiety and stabilize blood sugar levels, helping you feel full and satisfied for hours instead of minutes. These healthy fats can even boost the body's metabolic rate and, since fat is metabolized slowly, decrease the rate at which carbohydrates are released into your system. It's just a matter of knowing which fats are good for you and how to get them into your diet.

What's Wrong with Partially Hydrogenated Oils?
Unlike butter or virgin coconut oil, hydrogenated oils contain high levels of trans fats. A trans fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been "transmogrified", by high-heat processing of a free oil. The fatty acids can be double-linked, cross-linked, bond-shifted, twisted, or messed up in a variety of other ways. Trans fats are poisons, just like arsenic or cyanide. They interfere with the metabolic processes of life by taking the place of a natural substance that performs a critical function. And that is the definition of a poison. Your body has no defense against them, because they never even existed in our two billion years of evolution -- so we've never had the need or the opportunity to evolve a defense against them. Partially hydrogenated oils will not only kill you in the long term by producing diseases like multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to arthritis, but in the meantime they will make you fat! more

Coconut and Pine Nut Oils: Healthy Choices For Weight Reduction  One of the remarkable things about coconut oil is that it can help you lose weight. Yes, there is a dietary fat that can actually help you take off unwanted pounds. Coconut oil can quite literally be called a low-fat fat. 

Raymond Peat, Ph.D. - "The anti-obesity effect of coconut oil is clear in all of the animal studies, and in my friends who eat it regularly." 

Mary G. Enig, Ph.D - "Coconut oil has a unique role in the diet as an important physiologically functional food. The health and nutritional benefits that can be derived from consuming coconut oil have been recognized in many parts of the world for centuries. A review of the diet/heart disease literature relevant to coconut oil clearly indicates that coconut oil is at worst neutral with respect to atherogenicity of fats and oils and, in fact, is likely to be a beneficial oil for prevention and treatment of some heart disease. Additionally, coconut oil provides a source of antimicrobial lipid for individuals with compromised immune systems and is a nonpromoting fat with respect to chemical carcinogenesis." 

Traditionally, polyunsaturated oils such as soybean oil have been used for livestock feed because they cause the animals to gain weight. These oils are made up of what is known as long chain fatty acids--the kind of fatty acids that promote weight gain. (4)

Coconut oil, on the other hand, is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism and promote weight loss. Coconut oil can also raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism. This is good news for people who suffer with low thyroid function. There have been scores of testimonies to this effect.

One happy individual writes: "I am just now jumping on the coconut oil bandwagon (about three weeks now) and I’m really starting to feel GREAT! I have suffered from severe migraines for the past 25 years, the last 15 becoming increasingly severe, coinciding with the addition of soy and the” low-fat mentality” to my diet. Nothing helped! I should be experiencing my pre-menstrual migraine by now and instead I feel like I could climb Mt. Everest! Also I wondered if it decreased the waist to hip ratio because mine has gone from 7.2 all my life to 7 (or something like that). I think I had the sluggish thyroid too, with a low body temperature of between 96 and 96.8. Now it’s starting to climb for the first time in years. " V. Potter

Miracle of Coconut oil: Hypothyroidism and slow metabolism A gain in weight could be the result of hypothyroidism and slow metabolism. t is a known fact that the fatty acid chains in coconut oil, known as medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) or medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), offer wonderful health benefits and are no where found more abundantly in nature outside coconut oil. Coconut oil offers much promise today to sufferers of hypothyroidism and slow metabolism. For the hypothyroid sufferer the MCTs rev up the body's sluggish metabolism and promote weight loss as well. There are many side effects of a sluggish thyroid gland and the resulting slower metabolism.  First of all, it effects your energy level greatly, and with a slower metabolism and subsequent reduction in activity (and energy) there is often unwanted weight gain.

The Role of Our Liver in Weight Gain
Weight gain and depression are just two common manifestations of a congested, overworked liver. 

Many people struggle with weight gain and a sluggish metabolism most of their lives, and go through lots of yo-yo dieting unsuccessfully. “So why doesn’t anything really work?” we may ask. We have been tackling the symptom when we should be addressing the cause - weight gain is often due to poor liver function. Congestion throughout the body and a sluggish liver can contribute not only to fatigue and malaise, but also to weight gain, especially around the abdomen, cellulite, and water retention. 

When we cleanse the liver and then eat the right foods, liver metabolism will improve and we start burning fat. As liver function improves, so does energy. With more energy, fitness improves, because we have the ability to excercise more and improve our muscle tone.

As we cleanse the body, not only will we shed excess pounds, we’ll also lose some of that lumpy, bumpy cellulite.

Two French physicians, Meus-Blatter and Laroche, discovered that cellulite is cause by inefficient removal of wastes from the body. As toxic materials collect between the cells, they are held by hardened connective tissue where they build up to create pockets of water, toxins, and fat that give the skin that unsightly peau d’orange (orange peel skin) appearance. Cleansing the body with high amounts of raw food, and especially vegetable juices, not only helps flush away the lumps and bumps, it also raises cell vitality. learn about  The 7-Day, Kick-Start Liver Cleanse and Weight Loss Program

Following are the most common symptoms and conditions: Being on edge (easily stressed), clevated cholesterol, skin conditions, skin irritation, depression, sleep difficulties, fat indigestion, kidney damage, heart damage, brain damage, Hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue, weight fain, poor memory, PMS, mental fog, blood sugar disorders, allergies, obesity. If you have tried many ways to improve your health and energy level and nothing seemed to adequately help, it is very possible that your overworked liver underlies your difficulties. Restoring liver function is one of the most important and vital actions you could ever do for your health. When the liver gets congested and toxic, it will remain that way and get worse until it gets detoxified and rejuvenated. 

Milk Thistle has a long therapeutic history for the treatment of liver disorders
For over 2,000 years Europeans have used Milk Thistle seeds as an herbal treatment for liver disorders. Literally hundreds of research studies, mostly in Europe, have confirmed the remarkable ability of milk thistle to protect the liver against virtually all types of damage: from accidental exposure to chemical pollutants, toxic side effects of medications, liver diseases like hepatitis and even the self inflicted damage from overindulgence of rich food and alcohol. Human studies have found milk thistle seed extract beneficial in treating alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver disease, bile duct inflammation and chronic hepatitis.

Bee Pollen and Weight Control 

Bee pollen works wonders in a weight-control or weight-stabilization regimen by correcting a possible chemical imbalance in body metabolism that may be involved in either abnormal weight gain or loss. The normalizing and stabilizing effects of this perfect food from the bees are phenomenal. 

In weight-loss programs, bee pollen stimulates the metabolic processes. It speeds caloric burn by lighting and stoking the metabolic fires. Honeybee pollen is coming to be recognized as Nature's true weight-loss food. Bee pollen is a low-calorie food. It contains only ninety calories per ounce. (An ounce is about two heaping tablespoons.) It offers 15 percent lecithin by volume. Lecithin is a substance that helps dissolve and flush fat from the body. This is one reason why bee pollen lowers low-density lipoproteins (LDL) surer and faster than any other food while helping increase the helpful high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which science says protect against cholesterol and heart disease. 

By boosting the value of each nutrient present in the food you eat, bee pollen also eliminates cravings. Its natural phenylalanine content acts as an appetite suppressant. Phenylalanine is a natural amino acid that the body requires. It acts on your appestat, the control center that signals fullness and hunger. Mother Nature knows what she's about. You just plain won't want to eat as much when you take bee pollen regularly. When you are overweight, phenylalanine exerts a natural appetite suppressant effect. When you need to gain weight, the phenylalanine in bee pollen works in reverse. 

The chemical drug in over-the-counter weight-loss products is a manmade cousin of phenylalanine called phenylpropanolamine, which chemically depresses the appetite whether you are fat, thin, or just right. It can also give you the jitters and leave you with a drug-induced "hangover" and can be addictive. Phenylpropanolamine is a common ingredient in many decongestants, explaining why one of the side effects of these products is loss of appetite. Products that include phenylpropanolamine as an ingredient must by law carry a warning that they should not be taken by persons with certain conditions, including thyroid problems and high blood pressure.

The Banting diet is confirmed
Banting's Letter on Corpulence traveled widely. In the 1890s, an American doctor, Helen Densmore, modeled diets on Banting. She tells how she and her patients lost an average 10-15 lbs (4.5-6.8 kg) in the first month on the diet and then 6-8 lbs (2.7-3.6 kg) in subsequent months 'by a diet from which bread, cereals and starchy food were excluded

The Body Restoration Plan: Eliminate Chemical Calories and Restore Your Body's Natural Slimming System   Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, an expert in human metabolism, argues that our own natural weight-regulation system is being poisoned by the toxic chemicals we encounter in our everyday lives, and that this damage makes it increasingly difficult for our bodies to control and lose weight. Toxins in food, water, air, packaging, cosmetics, and household products enter our bodies as Chemical Calories, hampering our metabolic and appetite-regulating systems and making us fatter.

Overcoming lifelong chronic illnesses and dramatic weight loss with natural/raw/living food diet
By the author of this web site---Shirley

I can't remember a time in my life, prior to 1982, when I wasn't struggling with failing health. I was overweight (185 lbs), suffered from chronic fatigue and my health was steadily going down the drain. For years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs. I used corticosteroids for eczema/psoriasis, antibiotics for recurring throat and breast infections. I also used nasal decongestions for chronic sinus congestion, and other drugs for chronic backaches and other health problems. Unfortunately, instead of generating a cure, the medications (including a course of nine months of antibiotics) merely temporarily suppressed my symptoms, weakened my immune system, and in the long run made me sicker. (side effects of corticosteroids)

In 1982 my doctor told me that I had to have a mastectomy because my body was no longer responding to medication. But I was determined to not let them cut off my breast. I had had enough of orthodox medicine; I knew I had to change direction to improve my overall health and vitality.

Weight Control Begins With Hydration
Trying to lose weight is always a challenge, but water can be a valuable and easily adaptable component of a diet plan. Water acts as an appetite suppressant and is instrumental in breaking down and reducing fat deposits.  The rate at which we burn calories (our metabolism) is a chemical process requiring water. We need adequate water to ensure the smooth functioning of this process. Water helps to flush toxins out our system. The more toxins in our body the less capable it is of losing weight. If you are dieting, keep your system functioning properly and maximize weight loss by drinking plenty of water.

No matter what the specific health or fitness goal, one cannot achieve the maximum benefit from any health program without drinking the right kind of water in the proper amount. All experts agree, that next to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing we will ever put in our bodies. It is surprising that so much time and money is being spent on supplements, organic foods and natural remedies but little attention is given to the quality and effect of the water with which those items are taken.

Fasting-And Eating-For Health : A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease by Joel Fuhrman

"I was overweight, plagued with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high tryglicerides and diabetic. Treatments by some of the "best" physicians (with medication) in Israel and in California resulted in no significant improvement. Three years ago I started to do my own research and got across Dr. Fuhrman's book. Well written to be understood by layman and with scientific evidence. Since applying Dr. Fuhrman's recommendations, I lost 70 pounds in 5 months (the first 40 in 6 weeks). All indicators went back to better than normal after two weeks into the program. I later experienced 20 days fast. It was the best experience in my life. Since then, I bought more than 3 dozens of the book and gave it to everyone I care about. This book is my new bible. It is a great reading material for understanding and reinforcement. If practiced by everyone, physicians' rows will be cut by 90%. Not to be missed if you serious about your health, your well being and those around you." an amazon.com reviewer

Jinge's Before and After pictures: "When I was 15 I started my battle with weight and overeating, a battle that raged continuously for 11 years. I had gone from being a person who ate whatever I wanted to living on a diet consisting exclusively of raw fresh organic vegetation! I still ate large quantities of food and enjoyed eating as much as ever if not more, but I lost 20 pounds in the first two months and another 22 pounds over the next three months. I'm holding now at my ideal weight of 135 pounds. I work out strong and hard every day. The intense pleasure of good health just gets stronger all the time and I'm finally enjoying my youth.
