Fish for Danger

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

If you eat loads of fish then stop right now, it could endanger your health. Especially pregnant women. This is not something thought up by all the claims that the scientist come up with but a real life fact.

Although fish is full of nutrients and protein it also harbours more dangerous substances such as mercury a dangerous toxin. The larger the fish the more mercury it contains.

Tuna fish is bought daily by millions of people, especially tinned tuna, and this is one of the most harmful fish, this fish and the larger ones are more at risk to humans because they have lived a longer life and have eaten thousands of smaller fish.

Pregnant women especially should limit the amount of fish they eat as the murcury toxins can destroy the brain development of the new baby.

Fresh and tinned salmon is the lowest in mercury but fresh farmed salmon may contain PCB’s, these are chemicals with serious long term health effects. (more…)

A Healthy Nation! Maybe

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

It looks like very soon we’ll all turn into health freaks, not a bad thing I must admit, but think of all those poor doctors who will be out of a job if we turn into a healthy nation!

For a start they are going to add vitamin D to our milk as we don’t get enough sunshine, this will strengthen our bones and prevent heart disease and cancer. Eating four squares of plain chocolate every week will help to prevent heart failure.  And to keep dementia at bay you need to eat a diet of rich fruit and vegetables.

Here is one that many of you will enjoy!  Drinking alcohol will reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. They say that non drinkers are four times more likely to develop to rheumatoid arthritis. 

They don’t tell you how much you should drink, but they do warn about drinking alcohol and taking medication, so you could keep your doctor in business by asking questions.

Oh and if your a big head! or I should say if you have a big head ! thats a good sign also, you have less chance of suffering dementia.

Now here is a contradiction to all our teachings. Being fat will help to live longer in old age, It is said that the death rate for people aged 70 to 75 years is lowest for those people classed as overweight, and if you are obese you stand the same chance of someone of normal weight, evidently underweight people have the highest risk of death. 

And to top all that there is now a wonder pill that could extend your life by up to twenty three years. But don’t go beating a path to your doctor to get this wonder anti aging drug called Rapamycin, at the moment it has only been tested on mice who lived for 600 days instead of 60.  You might get this on prescription in about 50 years time if your still around then,

Depression Your Mental State.

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Depression can affect anyone at any time. Depression can be caused by anything in your life that disturbs your mind. Lack of money, partner problems, exams, work, in fact anything that is not in the normal run of things happening in your life.

Depression affects millions of people around the world, it feels like a deep pit that you have fallen into and you can’t get out of it.  It is a feeling that you can’t explain and only those that suffer from it know it is like hells pit.

Friends and family that don’t realise what depression is tell you snap out of it or maybe to stop being sorry for yourself, if only you could.

Sometimes something will happen and the depression will suddenly lift and you will be right as rain again, but often the best course of action is to visit your GP for help.  You will probably be put on a course of anti-depressants and they may be all that is needed, but if you have been through all that and it is no better you may be sent to pshycologist to try and find out your fears or deep rooted problems.

There is no shame in depression, it is something you can’t seem to control but you must seek help to try and combat it as it can be overcome.

If for instance money problems have caused it, then a sudden lightening of the load, maybe a job turns up if you have been out of work, your depression can lift as suddenly as it began.

There is always a trigger that goes off that causes the depression, but as soon as it is released you will get back to your normal mental state and be right as rain.

Of course more serious cases where the cause is unexplainable need extra help and care to recover.

Cure for Cancer.

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

I have been reading excerpts from The Rick Simpson Story.  It seems really credible from all the information. He claims to have found an absolute cure for cancer in all parts of the body. 

This cure has been around for thousands of years for all sorts of illnesses but it is being deliberately ignored by the drug and medical companies because this cure cannot be patented so that means they can’t make any money from it.

The cure is said to be hemp oil, or what they are calling phoenix oil. It is said to have cured even the close to death terminally ill cancer patients. To read more about this please go to here http://www.420magazine.com/forums/medical-marijuana-facts-information/80006-run-cure-rick-simpson-story-transcript.html and see if you are as convinced as what I am.

Fibromyalgia a Chronic Condition

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Fibromyalgia more commonly known as Fibrocitis is an illness that does not show any signs to indicate what the problem is.  The doctor may have difficulty in diagnosing fibromyalgia as there seems no obvious signs.Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition which causes widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, you may also suffer from fatigue and multiple tender points that cause pain when any pressure is applied.

Fibromyalgia is also more prominent in women than in men.

Although you may feel better at times it is a condition that may never disappear completely but it is not a progressive illness and it is not life threatening.

For a home remedy that cures more ailments than any other, you need to look at apple cider vinegar.  It cures sinus infections, acne, high cholestrol,flu, chronic fatigue, candida, acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, sinus infections, artritis and gout.

The recommended dose of apple cider vinegar is 2 teaspoons in 8 oz of water  three times a day.  If the condition is severe it is recommended that you take two tablespoons of cider apple vinegar in eight ounces of water three times a day.

For weight loss and Ph balancing put 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water and sip this throughout the day,  you will be keeping your pH in a constant, alkalized state by sipping this diluted dosage.

Age spots or liver spots can and do effect men and women. Women worry about them more and use all sorts of creams to try and banish them.

A better and much cheaper way to rid yourself of these blemishes is to use a herbal remedy called Milk thistle.

It eliminates the age spots by cleansing the blood, and that is good enough to give you a clear skin.

Young Doctors Not being Trained to Prescribe Drugs.

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Young doctors are putting patients’ lives at risk because they are not being trained to prescribe medicines, a leading doctor has warned.

This doesn’t sound to good does it!

A pharmacologist and the former head of the Scottish drugs’ rationing body, said doctors are leaving medical school with little or no knowledge about how to prescribe drugs.

Some nurses know more about the skill than the doctors.

‘You might think medical schools would spend a lot more time teaching about prescribing but the exact opposite is the case. The vast majority’ of young doctors do not feel ready to dish out drugs when they start on the wards.

GPs Set to Give Abortions

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

It seems they are planning to allow GPs the right to give abortions to women up to nine weeks pregnant, this will be done with the aid of drugs.

I think this is a step forward, as the way things have progressed with women regarding sex as nothing more than a pastime, it will help to guard against all those unwanted, or single parent children.

I often wonder why, with all the birth control precautions on the market today that so many pregnancies occur, are girls or women just to lazy to visit a doctor or clinic to protect themselves.

Men have no regard for women in this day and age, they are here today and gone tomorrow with no worries about what the consequences  will be, so it is up to women themselves, to deal with the realities of sexual encounters.
