Silent killer

Hypertension, high blood pressure is a lifestyle disease that comes as a result of modern day living.  Perhaps, the stone age people did not have hypertension.  It is a silent killer.   Millions die annually as a result of high blood pressure.  Hypertension could lead to fatal stroke (injury to the brain because a blood vessel ruptured) or heart attack (the heart stopped beating because of occluded blood vessel, or a blood vessel in the heart ruptured)

Despite many articles on the subject matter, high blood pressure still persist because the gudelines are disregarded or ignored by the public at large.

Causes:

1.  Smoking
2.  Regular and heavy drinking of alcoholic drinks
3.  Stress
4.  Fatty diet
5.  Sedentary living

Cheap cures (complimentary and alternative cures)

You see your doctor, you undergo a work/out, check up, and he prescribes western pharma medicine

Fibrocystic breast

Live healthy and long

One of the members of the family, a daughter complained of pain in the chest and she consulted her OB Gyne.  She was sent for Ultrasound and was diagnosed for fibrocystic  breast.  Her doctor, who happened to be a cousin told me there is nothing to worry about that it will develop into a big C.  She said that it runs in the family.

Further research in the web showed that:

l.  It is common among females of 30 to 50 years old (she just turned 30)

2.  That it is usually painful (but the pain can be relieved by ordinary analgesic)   So she was given mefenemic acid and paracetamol.

3.  That it usually turns up before or after mens.

There is no cause for much worry.   The usual recommended DX is ultrasound.  Mammograms have been notorious for giving false results.  Mammograms were alleged to be the biggest revenue earner for the Cancer medication/breast cancer.

DOH declares stem cells unsafe

Live healthy and long

 Angono. Rizal, Philipppines. January 10, 2012.  I read this news item at Tempo about a new DOH ruling declaring the new and growing stem cells therapy as dangerous.

Well it still not approved by US FDA and DOH has its reasons for such a declaration  It will mean less treatment and revenue for many large hospitals here who have big stem cells budget.  Many will flock to China and Thailand to avail of such treatment.

After reading on John Beard trophoblast theory of cancer, and William Kelly,  and consulting the Mayo Clinic site on stem cells, I can only nod in agreement with DOH.

Stem cells therapy currently costs about $100,000 (P4 million) and the patient is a guinea pig.  Wow.  Under the trophoblast theory of cancer, cancer is a stem cell in your body just wanting at the right moment to multiply and grow.  Add stem cell to cancer therapy  and boom ---> you can have another cancer  (Mayo Clinic)

How to Deal Effectively with Migraines and Headaches from Blaylock Report

Effective Cures Need Not be Expensive

I am not a mouthpiece of the NewmaxHealth nor or of Blaylock Wellness Report.  For whatever their newsfeed is worth, it is worth looking into and experimenting.  I have not met the guys nor was I able to do a background report on them and their credibility.  However I find their articles unsual interesting and maybe worthy. Dr. Russel Blaylock is a Nuerosurgeon, Physician, and Well Known Wellness author

Headaches and Migraines Affect Everyone

Migraines affect many in US (and in the PHL)  It means a lot of business for MDs who are consulted for treatment (especially neurologists) and lot of prescriptions of analgesics and NSAID which makes plenty of Pharma execs rich and happy.

Sadly people with migraines and headaches are most likely to suffer from strokes, and yes untold of sufferings.  Many MDs and patients view migraine as another pain management scheme.  Sadly, different things happen in a migraine.

Why is there migraine?

Migraine take place because of:

l.  Low magnesium level;

2.  High glutamate levels in food;

3.  High level of excitability.

If this is so, then the treatment MO is simple:

l.  Increase level of magnesium  (from supplements and banaba leaves)

 Magnesium Rich Foods

2.  Reduce glutamate in food or avoid food high in glutamate level

          These are foods high in glutamate levels:

          l.  MSG

          2.  Natural food flavors

          3.  Carragenan

           4.  Whey Protein

           5. Isolated Soy  protein

           6.  Other foods:    parmesan cheese, broths, peanut butter, gravy mixes, tomato paste
