| The Good Doctor’s Advice on Controlling Cholesterol--Naturally |
|
Thursday, December 27, 2007
A good example of his philosophy is his most recent publication that I came across last week--his article on foods that can control cholesterol naturally. Here are the some of the recommended foods and supplements that work. Taking Vitamin C at breakfast is one of the best ways to start a "Lower Your Cholesterol" day. It increases the removal of cholesterol from the blood in the form of bile acids; it also triggers the necessary bowel movement that will remove these bile acids. The dosage he recommends is 2000 milligrams and depending on one's tolerance of ascorbic acid, this dosage and more has been touted not only by the good doctor but Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, as well. Oat Bran with fruit such as oranges, apples, prunes and pears are also smart breakfast foods. Oat bran is a soluble fiber that helps with elimination of bile acids, thus reducing the body's absorption of cholesterol from the intestines. Even wine is good for your body; one glass of wine can boost high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or what is commonly known as the good cholesterol while also removing excess cholesterol from the blood. In addition to this, red wine produces all kinds of benefits for the heart, including the formation of a chemical that reduces the risk of angina. Moreover, red wine reduces the risk of blood clots. It seems to me you cannot get better advice than that for "medical treatment"! Dr. Gifford-Jones, however, cautions against indulgence. The key to health is moderate consumption and I would wager this caution applies even to oat bran and apples. Soy Protein naturally boosts HDL levels, a situation proven in a study in which patients were given 40 grams of soy protein in the form of cookies. Guess what? After 12 weeks, these patients showed a five percent increase in the good cholesterol-HDL. And we can get soy protein in all forms-- tofu, shakes, burgers or high energy drinks. For those of us who enjoy nuts, we will certainly delight in the doctor's recommendation of almonds. A study in Toronto shows that 2 handfuls of almonds a day over a period of three months reduced the bad cholesterol (LDL) by 9.4 percent; as well, these two handfuls of almonds decreased the risk of cardiovascular events by 20 percent. Even a simple teaspoon of cinnamon in coffee or tea can decrease the bad cholesterol by 20 percent as will black tea, raw garlic and psyllium to a less dramatic extent. The most consoling aspect about reading the Good Doctor is that there is neither drama nor urgency in his appeal. His voice is that of Common Sense: Eat well. Choose wholesome foods rich in fiber and nutrients; make sure you get your Vitamin C, soy protein and oat bran; enjoy your meals with a good glass of red wine. Last but not least, exercise on a regular basis. You don't have to run a marathon or aim for the 24 pack abs. But you can work your body on a daily basis because exercise is known to increase HDL. In the face of far too many television commercials harping on drugs to control cholesterol level, reading the Good Doctor is like getting a breath of fresh air! ------ A runner for 27 years, retired schoolteacher and writer, Mary is helping people reclaim their bodies.

You might be practising many forms of diet plan weight loss programs, but found none to be suitable and often most of them very brutal. There are dozens of diet plans and dozens of them claiming to be experts. There are many costing hundreds of dollars. Advising also costs lots of money too, which of course is passed onto the customer. The weight loss business is sure benefitting many people money-wise. However, have you ever asked yourself, why is it today there are so many obese people around this contenent. Why? It seems where ever you look you see people who SHOULD lose weight. People, who if they haven't as yet realized they are in serious trouble. I always imagine that little heart in that huge body pumping away in a losing battle. Many of those people who are overweight, should you ask them, will assure you that they do not over eat, they continually add weight each day a little at a time. Now, why would this be so? The answer to this very serious question has been asked and answered many times. The toxins we have in the air we breathe in the food we eat are destroying our systems. Have you ever considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleansing our insides until some form of disease sends us a wake-up call. Believe it or not, our insides, especially the colon which functions as the "sewer system" of our body, also requires regular cleaning. Constipation, parasites, IBS, gas, bloating, stomach pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems can all be signs of a toxic colon. Don't be a victim, suffering silently from these painful and often embarrassing health conditions. Find out the truth about colon cleansing and how it can help you. Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial? We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of harmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives. "Death Begins in the Colon" These toxins and "dead" foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy. These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease. "Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." Vegetarian Times, March, 1998 "Parasites May Rule the World" This waste material is home to, in the words of National Geographic, "a sinister world of monstrous creatures that feed on living flesh: parasites". Discover magazine published a feature article in its August 2000 issue: "Every living thing has at least one parasite that lives inside or on it, and many, including humans, have far more. ...Scientists…are only just beginning to discover exactly how powerful these hidden inhabitants can be, but their research is pointing to a remarkable possibility: Parasites may rule the world. The notion that tiny creatures we've largely taken for granted are such a dominant force is immensely disturbing. We are collections of cells that work together, kept harmonized by chemical signals. If an organism can control those signals an organism like a parasite then it can control us. And therein lies the peculiar and precise horror of parasites." The combination of environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet and parasites poses a grave danger to humans. "In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history", reported National Geographic in its award-winning documentary, The Body Snatchers. We have to cleanse: allow our organs to do their jobs, we have to have a regular cleanse, make it part of our general way of life. There are many cleanses on the market, use one without delay. It is up to you. Visit http://thisisyourbusiness.net Treat yourself like a God/Goddess, you are worth it/ Treat yourself as if you were a God/Goddess, be proud of your own Wonderful body. You alone, have a very serious job; everyone knows this, but do not follow through as they should. It is your responsibility to look after the state of your organs. I assure you some of you are doing a lousy job. Can you imagine the state of your teeth if you didn’t clean them. People would grimace when they spoke to you , and very soon people would go the other way if they saw you coming. The same way if you neglected cleaning your body, other people would make a point of avoiding you. To me it’s strange, if you don’t cleanse your whole system, people do accept that. Some of our generation are so overweight by not keeping their body in the condition common sense tells them that they should do, why in this world would people accept that. It blows my mind, that as a friend, others don’t tell them to smarten up. Maybe this will get the message across. I recall, a while ago watching a program on television, that made a real impression on me. In this show, a Doctor, actually, the show was on Oprah. This Doctor had a number of cadavers with him, which he was dissecting. They of course did not show him doing the cutting, that would have been too much. Anyway, this Doctor opened one of the bodies and removed everything in it’s stomach. He took this huge object and held it up so the audience could see it, he showed a huge piece of fat weighing approximately 25 lbs. The Doctor said that most people who have a big gut, (his very word) have something very similar to this inside them. He said, somewhere deep down inside of the fat he was showing, is a liver, kidneys and a colon. You just could not see anything other than the horrible fat. He then asked the audience, this question, “do you think these organs have any possibility of working at peak efficiency in the condition that is around them?” Of course there were numerous responses, acknowledging they would not be at their very best. The Doctor continued that the organs worked very much harder, but eventually gave out. The Doctor said the reason we have the fat forming in our bodies, is because of toxins. Toxins today are everywhere and are doing this damage. It starts with the toxins entering our systems, then fat modules surrounding them. It starts small, but over time the build up continues. He continued to say, the only way to get rid of the toxins, to emphasize what he said again,. The only way to get rid of them is to have a cleanse, and another one and another one. Flush the toxins from your whole system. He said, to understand really what is happening to you; is the day you have that first cleanse. Your liver, colon and kidneys have not been working for a long time, imagine the response your system is going to react to your organs working as they should. He further said, I don’t care what cleanse you use, there are hundreds out there, all I want you to do is cleanse. I read an article in the National Geographic under “Body Snatchers,” where they were talking about Parasites, how the colon of one body they had investigated, had over 8lbs of dead waste that it had retained over the years. It seems to this writer, who of course has used the cleansing system over a number of years, and has encouraged so many people to do the same, would ask you to treat your body as if you were a God/Goddess. do that cleanse without delay. It is certainly up to you how you treat your own body. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the energy you had when you were A teenager, that’s what you will have once you get rid of those toxins. Can money do it, I don’t know, however maybe it can help. The following Three people corrected their faults, not only are they very happy with the choices they made, they are also very wealthy.
