Court Rules That FDA’s Censor On Health Claim of Selenium Is Violation of Rights
Jun 4th, 2010 by Edwin Low

(NaturalNews) Health freedom has just been handed a significant victory by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which ruled last week that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) violated the First Amendment rights of a nutritional supplement company when it censored truthful, scientifically-backed claims about how selenium can help reduce the risk of cancer.

The FDA has never liked qualified health claims. It wants food and supplements to be treated like drugs and forced to submit to the full FDA approval process in order to make any health claims. Of course this is crazy. Food and supplements, being natural, cannot usually be patented, and nobody can afford to spend a billion dollars to gain FDA approval of claims on an unpatented product that anyone else can sell.

Glutathione & Parkinson’s Disease
May 31st, 2010 by Edwin Low

Today, the number of people with Parkinson’s disease is way too high.  This disease brings with it discomfort, frustration, and pain.  However, one therapy has been discovered to be effective for this disease.

Dr. Perlmutter who pioneered Glutathione therapy has helped to change many people’s lives.  The results have been good and while IV Glutathione therapy is not a miracle able to eliminate all symptoms, it has shown to slow the progression of the disease.

Studies show that as many as 90% of people who have undergone Glutathione therapy have seen huge changes.  With Parkinson’s disease, dopamine receptors begin to lose their ability to be sensitive.

With this form of treatment, dopamine within the brain is able to function more effectively. This means dopamine sensitivity is improved, as well as the brain’s serotonin levels that can help decrease levels of depression.

For people who use Glutathione therapy, 1,400 milligrams daily with saline is typical.  In most cases, patients would be provided with an IV drip three times a week for ten minutes each session.  This way, the medication can get into the bloodstream slowly and effectively.

While Glutathione also comes in supplement and liquid form, IV Glutathione is the method best suited for Parkinson’s disease and other more serious illnesses.  Then, depending on the physician in charge, additional amino acids and milk thistle might also be added to the mix.

The advances seen over the years pertaining to IV Glutathione therapy are incredible.  This allows Parkinson’s patients to get off medications such as Levodopa that have harsh side effects.  Anyone interested in this treatment option should remain on any prescribed drugs and then talk to their doctor about eliminating them and switching over to Glutathione therapy.

Another huge benefit of using IV Glutathione therapy is that there are no major side effects. Unlike many medications, this means that serious problems such as heart attack and stroke are gone. Then, the affordability of Glutathione therapy has many people excited.

Over the years, we have seen the cost of healthcare rise so high that many people simply cannot afford it. It can be somewhat expensive but most insurance companies will cover the cost because it has been FDA approved.

Once a patient with Parkinsons symptoms starts on IV Glutathione therapy provided they respond to the treatment, they would be on it for life but considering that it allows them to regain some normalcy, it is a small sacrifice to make. As an FDA approved product, doctors and patients are getting very excited about the many advances provided by Glutathione therapy. While Parkinson’s disease is the primary target for using IV Glutathione therapy, this treatment has also shown promise for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other illnesses.

A very detailed explanation on Glutathione can be found here…

People who have Parkinson’s disease or any other medical condition now have a new and exciting treatment option.  With Glutathione therapy, relief is imminent.  Because the results have been so astounding, this is quickly becoming a mainstream treatment options accepted by the medical community.

Effectiveness of Cranberry In Treating Vaginal Yeast Infection & Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Apr 28th, 2010 by Edwin Low

Vaginal Yeast infection, also known as vaginal candidiasis or genital candidiasis is one of the most common complaints among ladies. About 75% of all women develop a yeast infection at some point during their lifetime.

The fungus that most commonly associated with the infection is Candida albicans.

Normally, the bacterial flora in the vagina would keep the Candida albicans from growing out of control. However, certain factors like stress, lower immunity, diseases, hormonal changes or medications (antibiotics, for example) might change the micro-environment in the vagina causing the outbreak.

The Symptoms

  • Irritated vagina and vaginal area: itchiness and rashes
  • Vaginal discharge (white-gray and thick like semi-liquid cheese)
  • Painful or burning urination, or
  • Painful intercourse

If the below symptoms occur, you should contact the doctor immediately:

More Serious Symptoms

  • Discharge with blood, foul smell and color
  • Prolonged discharge (more than a week)
  • Stomach or back pain
  • Vomiting
  • Fever

A vaginal yeast infection is not a sexually-transmitted disease. However, it is contagious and can be transmitted to sexual partner.

Although most vaginal yeast infections can be treated with over-the-counter medications, a woman should confirm the diagnosis with her doctor to ensure proper treatment. Other conditions may produce symptoms that are similar to those of a vaginal yeast infection, and some yeast infections may have a more serious disease as an underlying cause.

Prevention

  • Keep the vaginal area dry, even after the shower
  • Wipe from front to rear after using the toilet
  • Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help keeping the vaginal area dry
  • Avoid chemical irritants in deodorant tampons
  • Do not use douches or feminine hygiene products
  • Stay away from sugary food as it would encourage the growth of Candida albicans
  • Drink enough water daily as frequent urination would help to keep the number of bacteria, fungus and yeast  in the urinary tract at bay
  • Drink cranberry juice or take cranberry extract regularly
  • Take yogurt or probiotic supplement

Cranberry is a highly effective home remedy for vaginal yeast and urinary tract infection. It works by destroying the bacteria and fungus which cling to the urinary tract or vaginal wall. It also creates an acidic environment in the vagina and in the urinary tract which provides an unsuitable breeding ground for the yeast that commonly thrives in alkaline based surroundings. The supplementation of probiotics is to “re-balance” the flora to keep the bad ones from creating problems.

Juice Detoxification and Coffee Enema
Nov 5th, 2009 by Edwin Low

Our bodies weren’t really designed for the convenience of the 21st century.

Today, toxins can be found in the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and the clothes we wear. As a result, most people carry a considerable amount of unwanted toxins in their bodies. These man-made toxins circulate through the bloodstream, lodge in the tissues and cells, and stay there. You can’t see them, but that doesn’t mean they are not there. If you allow these toxic wastes to build up, your body may become a “toxic cocktail”.

Toxins and free radicals, which are unwanted by-products of metabolism and environmental pollution, can deprive you of your strength, stamina and general well-being, in fact your passion for living.

Detoxification Is Often An Integral Part Of Health Wellness

Detoxification means cleansing of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, the liver and the blood, since these are the organs involved in detoxification of chemicals and toxins from the body. The liver acts as a filter for the removal of foreign substances and wastes from the blood. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood into the urine while the lungs remove volatile gases. With these main organs cleansed, the body returns to its optimal state, healing itself easily.

Juice Detoxification & Coffee Enema

There are many different method of detoxification and the results vary accordingly. It ranges from fasting with juices, raw food diet, a vegetarian diet, exercises or even colonic irrigations. For a typical busy Singaporean or Expat, the idea of detoxification is often very appealing and on the to-do list.

Coffee Enema is one of the therapies developed by Dr. Max Gerson about 70 years ago. It is an ideal way of improving the liver function through solving the problem of constipation and fecal impaction.

People who use Coffee Enema have good intestinal phase, good bowel movement with few constipation and fecal impaction. It is also a good way to keep colon clean

Another profound effect of Coffee Enema is that toxin and body waste in the blood can be removed more efficiently. After nutrition of food you eat is digested and absorbed in small intestine, food scum and undigested material stay in the fold of colon and bowel wall. If it stays more than a day, decomposition and fermentation will progress and generate toxin. It is important to get rid of remnants of food as feces using Coffee Enema before decomposition and fermentation.

One of the Coffee Enema advocates is Dr Hiromi Shinya. Dr Shinya was a Professor of surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the head of the endoscopic center of Beth Israel Hospital. He designed and developed a life-saving medical tool for the endoscopic treatment of polyps. Without requiring use of surgery, his revolutionary “Shinya Method” has become widely used in colonoscopies. Having examined more than 300,000 people’s stomachs and intestines during 35 years of his career he came to realize that our health depends largely on our dietary life.

His good eating habits:

  1. Eat unpurified grains or cereals.
  2. Eat more vegetables.
  3. More seafood, less meat.
  4. Eat raw foods.
  5. Do not eat oxidized foods.
  6. Eat fermented foods.
  7. Avoid milk and milk products.
  8. Take Vitamins and Minerals
  9. Be disciplined with the food you eat.

The following video is about Dr Hiromi Shinya’s work on colon. The footage is posted by a supplier of alkaline water dispenser, however, it shows co-relationship between diet, colon conditions and sickness. Dr Shinya advocates coffee enema together with healthy diet.

How Deadly Is H1N1?
Nov 4th, 2009 by Edwin Low

Yesterday, the World Health Organization warned that “all of humanity is under threat”.  That  sounds extremely dire, indeed.

However, the science says something different.

For example, as the Los Angeles times notes today:

Scientists studying the virus are coming to the consensus that this hybrid strain of influenza — at least in its current form — isn’t shaping up to be as fatal as the strains that caused some previous pandemics.

In fact, the current outbreak of the H1N1 virus, which emerged in San Diego and southern Mexico late last month, may not even do as much damage as the run-of-the-mill flu outbreaks that occur each winter without much fanfare.

The LA Times goes on to provide useful detail:

Mounting preliminary evidence from genetics labs, epidemiology models and simple mathematics suggests that the worst-case scenarios are likely to be avoided in the current outbreak.

“This virus doesn’t have anywhere near the capacity to kill like the 1918 virus,” which claimed an estimated 50 million victims worldwide, said Richard Webby, a leading influenza virologist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn…

“There are certain characteristics, molecular signatures, which this virus lacks,” said Peter Palese, a microbiologist and influenza expert at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York. In particular, the swine flu lacks an amino acid that appears to increase the number of virus particles in the lungs and make the disease more deadly…

We expect to see more cases, more hospitalizations, and, unfortunately, we are likely to see more deaths from the outbreak,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters Wednesday on her first day at work.

But certainly nothing that would dwarf a typical flu season. In the U.S., between 5% and 20% of the population becomes ill and 36,000 people die — a mortality rate of between 0.24% and 0.96%…

And a pandemic doesn’t necessarily have a high fatality rate…

Though scientists have begun to relax about the initial toll, they’re considerably less comfortable when taking into account the fall flu season. They remain haunted by the experience of 1918, when the relatively mild first wave of flu was followed several months later by a more aggressive wave.

The longer the virus survives, the more chances it has to mutate into a deadlier form.

“If this virus keep going through our summer,” Palese said, “I would be very concerned.”

The bottom line is that while this flu is certainly spreading worldwide, and while it could mutate into something extremely lethal, right now it is fairly mild.

Note: Precautions, such as frequent hand-washing, should certainly be undertaken. And studies note that Vitamin D can help ward off flus or reduce their severity.

SMS check on stolen second—hand mobile phones to deter crime
Oct 31st, 2009 by Edwin Low

I recently have my wallet and mobile phone stolen, and I came across the information below. I think it’s useful for everyone buying a second-hand mobile phone.

Channel NewsAsia

Channel NewsAsia – Tuesday, October 27
SMS check on stolen second—hand mobile phones to deter crime

SINGAPORE: From October 27, buyers of second—hand phones will be able to send a Short Message Service (SMS) to check if they are stolen.

An online mobile phone screening service, The Handphone IMEI Tracing System (HITS), was developed and launched in 2006 to deter thieves from selling off stolen mobile phones to second—hand dealers and the public.

The system uses each mobile phone’s unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number to identify mobile phones which have been reported stolen. Users can access the service via the internet http://www.spf.gov.sg/epc/index.htm

But from Tuesday, members of the public and second—hand dealers can also use SMS to check if the second—hand phones they are about to purchase have been reported stolen or lost.

For Singaporeans, Permanent Residents, Employment Pass and Work Permit holders, an SMS screening can be performed by sending “SPFHITSNRIC No/FIN NoIMEI No” to 74688.

For others, simply send “SPFHITSIdentity NoOIMEI No” to 74688. Normal SMS charges apply.

If the screening result is “WANTED”, members of the public are advised to proceed to any Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) or Neighbourhood Police Post (NPP) to lodge a Police report immediately.

Members of the public are also advised that it is an offence to retain a mobile phone that has been reported stolen or lost.

Members of the public are strongly urged to screen the IMEI number before purchasing any second—hand phones and play their part to deter crime. — CNA/de
