Why Mercury Is More Dangerous in Oceans

Why mercury is more dangerous in oceans: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

This finally answers a question people ask all the time about the dangers of eating fish. Is is safe to eat fish if there is a suspicion of mercury in the water?

Here is the article broken down for you. Freshwater contains higher levels of mercury than seawater. But the mercury in freshwater is also less toxic since it more readily undergoes chemical conversion to a safer form of mercury. The mercury in seawater is in a lower concentration but it remains more toxic because it bonds to the salt in the water and remains in it's more dangerous form.

Therefore marine fish like tuna, mackerel and shark, are generally more laden with toxic mercury than are freshwater fish and are more dangerous to eat.

There is still a theory that the mercury in large ocean fish is bound tightly to the proteins and will therefore not be bio-available to the person eating it, thus making it safer to eat.

When eating large marine fish proceed with question. Even though they are inherently healthy they come with their share of toxins. This brings be back to my big point. Everyone of us must make detoxing a priority in this day and age.

Facebook | The Integrative Health Center: Trust Your Doctor

Facebook | The Integrative Health Center: Trust Your Doctor: "You pick a Doctor, and trust him or her, precisely because you have not gone to medical school. And if you indeed do not trust your Doctor, or think you know better , do yourself and the Dr. a favor--go away, and find another Doctor.

Because if you do not trust him , if you think he is not knowledgeable enough , or that he has an agenda (such as money or kavod)--well , as Moshe Rabeinu put it—“Ribbono shel Olom: This won't work.” Because you will find 101 things to complain about , nothing he does will satisfy you , you will kvetch and complain about how he treats you--because you are missing the basic element of trust. You don't trust him.

By Rabbi Chaim Malinowitz - with permission from the ‘Chadash’ Beit Shemesh Weekly

Yes, maybe he has to earn your trust--that's ok. And yes, he should allow you to ask questions , and he should answer your questions as best as he can , and explain as much as he can. And yes --very
important-- part of trust is that you trust him to admit when he doesn't know something ,and will consult with a more expert doctor and find out the answer for you. But certainly expect that at some
point , he's going to turn to you and say--Sir, Madam, I went to medical school, spent years and tears (EDITOR---THIS IS NOT A TYPO!!) studying and interning--trust me , or , find a Doctor whom you will
trust.

And when you find a Doctor whom you trust--you will trust him with all your medical issues.You will ask him which is surgeons you can trust , which pharmacy you should use---all your medical questions
will go to him.He will answer you,or he will refer you to someone who knows the answer.You are secure-you trust him. And if you don't---it won't work, just go away. The foundation of the relationship must be one of trust.

And why have medical referral services sprouted? Because the world of medicine has grown by leaps and bounds, there are specialists for just about every limb and every illness imaginable ; we intuit that our doctor can't keep up with all that knowledge , and the reality is also that trust between patient and Doctor has broken down (thanks to the world of medical insurance), and most people have never had the experience of a true 'family Doctor' who knows them, they know him, and they simply trust him.

Soy Protein Used in "Natural" Foods Bathed in Toxic Solvent Hexane: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Thought you were being healthy by avoiding meat and eating lots of soy? Think again! This article is an eye-opener. Most soy is processed with an industrial explosive chemical called hexane. Read the full article for more info. If you don't have time to read the full article at least know to look for the green USDA Organic seal on the package.

Even if soy were not processed with hexane too much soy has an estrogenizing effect, making theone who eats it more feminine. This means that girls may develop early puberty, boys and men may develop feminine characteristics, and latent cancers may be encouraged to grow out of control.

If you're concerned see a functional nutritionist for an evaluation and dietary recommendations. It's not simple these days.

Just like cortisol and other hormones have a normal cycle, so does insulin. With cortisol testing we now take four samples over the course of the day and compare the results to the normal curve. From this information the doctor can prescribe the correct nutrients to normalize function at the precise time of day the body needs it.

The standard method of testing is with a single blood test after a 12 hour fast. That's OK but limited. That's like taking a snapshot. It's static. Hormonal cycles are dynamic. The four sample test is also dynamic and gives a far more accurate picture of what really is going on.

Perhaps the same can now be done with insulin.

Why Chiropractic & Why The Integrative Health Center

You have many health care options.  First of course is the care provided by the excellent doctors at the various Kupot Cholim.  After that it becomes a blur for many.  There are many alternative therapies, all of  which are provided by some very talented and caring people who deliver effective care.

In most people's minds the medical doctor is thought of as "the doctor", the one with the highest level of education, and they have certainly earned that reputation.

What about the chiropractor?  He also uses the title doctor as conferred by his degree.  Is the chiropractor a "real" doctor?  Take a look at this link
from my website comparing medical school to chiropractic school:

http://drrosenberg.net/ChiropracticLicensureandEduation.aspx

As you can see chiropractic education is very similar to medical education.   Each has a different emphasis.  MDs get more training in pharmacology, immunology, general surgery, pathology, and other areas specific to the care they provide.  DCs get more training in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and orthopedics.

Chiropractic is no longer "alternative" care.  It is complementary care.

The chiropractor is the one most like your MD in level of education!  He is highly educated and qualified to be on your health care team as an expert in spinal hygiene, posture & ergonomics, neuromusculoskeletal problems, injuries due to sports or accidents, and nutritional issues.

Why The Integrative Health Center?  Top 10 reasons:

*Advanced post grad training in neurology and nutrition
*Offering a wide variety of modalities
*Regular spinal manipulation & gentle techniques
*Treat the person and not the problem!
*10 years experience
*Worked with many MDs and can communicate with your doctor
*Reasonably priced expert level service
*Gives you the time you need
*What I do is fun!
*Bottom line: Great results!  Ask my patients! http://drrosenberg.net/whatourpatientssay.aspx

Overtreating earliest cancers — but which ones? - Yahoo! News

Overtreating earliest cancers — but which ones? - Yahoo! News: "specialists say more tumors actually are being found too early.

"...specialists say more tumors actually are being found too early."

How can a tumor be found "too early"? Wouldn't you want to know about it as soon as possible?

Many people develop some cancerous cells throughout their lives at some point and never know about it. The immune system does its job. If early detection reveals cancer, all the better. Appropriate treatment can be started including lifestyle changes and nutritional advice. A measurement of salivary pH is a must and will almost certainly reveal a very high acid/low pH level. Cancers love this acidity and they help create it. A detox program is a must!

Early detection is the best detection!

Middle-Aged Men Lose Testosterone and Sleep

Middle-Aged Men Lose Testosterone and Sleep: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

There is a whole neuro-endocrine circuit at work here. Natural aging decreases testosterone. But when we pile on stress and unhealthy habits the problem is compounded exponentially. Testosterone levels can be normalized and even enhanced with natural nutritional methods. Stress management and sleep hygiene must be enforced to normalize the body clock.

Middle aged men who have spent years being sleep deprived and over stressed will begin to experience decrease of muscle mass, increase of fat especially around the middle, an increase in pains, decreased brain function, increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, and increase in blood pressure, and decreased libido and ability to perform sexually. Not a pretty picture. They present to my office usually when they hit a wall and cannot function any more.

All of this is not normal aging! It is the body breaking down after years of abuse. It DOES NOT have to be this way. My suggestions:

7 hours sleep in a dark room
Bedroom should be only for sleeping and sex, no eating!
No eating withing 2 hours of bed
Drink 64-80 oz/2-3 L of water every day, this excludes any other drinks
No diet anything foods or drinks with artificial sweeteners
Eat your fruits & veggies! Lean protein OK, reduce or eliminate simple carbs....white flour & sugar
Get at least a multi-vitamin for your nutritional deficiencies
There's more but this is a good start!

Get an endocrine panel done...brain chemicals, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, etc.
Get a checkup every year!

Once you establish the state of your internal health you can begin to take specific measure to improve and correct the situation! Are you really living? Or are those little nagging things becoming more frequent? Listen to them and do something about it!

Depressed Mood Increases The Perception Of Pain

Depressed Mood Increases The Perception Of Pain: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Oh wow, this is really fascinating! Researchers have linked depressed moods with an increased perception of pain in the body. I've been working with a combination of techniques that verify this and work very powerfully to decrease pain and negative moods and emotions. Patients can see and feel the results right away, even during the treatment itself. So much of body pain is induced by stress and negative emotions. Of course we have always known of the mind body connection, but now we have a little more evidence.

One patient came in with his neck flexed forward and completely stuck. He was unable to move a drop in any direction. He was in fear as well, and understandably so.

I quickly realized that I would be unable to give him a neck adjustment so I laid him down on his belly and did some gentle stretches. When I finished he was actually worse and fighting back tears. I considered sending him to the ER.

I decided to try this new approach for the first time. Earlier I established with him that he had no particular stress in his life. Happy marriage, great kids, and his own business in the creative arts which he enjoyed.

I got to work and started asking him about past experiences. It turns out that as a soldier he had to kill two people about to perpetrate a terrorist attack on a beach. This was some 2o years ago. When this was revealed I had him contact the emotional point on his forehead and his neck at the same time. While he was doing this I held a bottle of oil of Frankincense/Levonah/Boswellia under his nose as he inhaled deeply.

When Frankincense is inhaled it hits the olfactory bulb of the brain and triggers the brain to produce powerful anti-anxiety/depression medications. Natural medications with no side effects!

In two treatments this person's pain and stiffness completely disappeared. I was as shocked as he was and almost as happy. All of this was done without a chiropractic adjustment. Now he comes in for regular adjustments to maintain his status.

Be very careful. It's better in most cases to consider natural medicine first. That doesn't mean to the exclusion of a visit to the family doctor, but when he wants to put you on a medication it might be best to ask about alternatives such as diet, exercise, and other lifestyle modifications.

Consider acupuncture, nutrition, and chiropractic. These days it helps to have a team of healthcare providers. Don't exclude the M.D., just start thinking about including natural medicine in your healthcare arsenal.

People have such a hard time understanding that chiropractic care itself does not cure anything. The body provides the cure. When there is full transmission between the brain, spine, and end organs there is optimal health. Sometimes there is blockage between the brain and end organs and when that happens there is dysfunction and eventually disease. Chiropractic care simply removes that blockage and the body then knows what to do.

Why Doctors Hate Chiropractors

Why Doctors Hate Chiropractors: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

I've worked in harmony with many medical doctors. There is still much misinformation in the medial field about chiropractic and how it helps people. I don't like the back pain box because I know what I do does more than that. Chiropractors need to be thoroughly versed in neurology because that in fact is what chiropractic is. And they need to be able to explain what they do in medical terms if they want medical referrals. Research has improved vastly in the last 10 years but lags very much behind. This is the key to mutual cooperation. I also believe that the younger MDs are more willing to go CAM than their older counterparts.

Most doctors don't hate chiropractors. First they don't know what it is. Secondly they don't know any chiropractors to refer to. The time is ripe for education! The patients are tired of pills and surgery. They're tired of being told "you just have to live with it" or "no one really knows why you're in pain". We have the answers and the world needs to know.

Why are your kids acting up? Why can't they sit still and focus? Why can't they learn? It may not be their fault.

Their sensitive and rapidly developing nervous systems are under assault from environmental toxins such as pesticides. These organophosphates are designed to kill bugs by disrupting their nervous systems. When they're sprayed they reach the food, the soil and even the water. Eventually the animals we eat are also loaded with these poisons. So they're involved at every level of the food chain.

Everyone must adapt measures to detoxify on a regular basis. The body has several ways in which it naturally detoxes. First is the liver with two phases. It's kind of like moving day. Phase One boxes up the garbage and in Phase Two the moving men come and load the boxes on the truck to be transported away. If either or both of these phases is not working the liver and the body will be overburdened. It's easy to assess this problem with the right lab test. From there diet and nutrients can be prescribed to facilitate detox "moving day".

Next is the digestive system. Is overeating a problem? Is overload of junk food including natural and artificial sweeteners a problem? Is there gas, constipation, loose bowels, or incomplete evacuation? Is urine dark and does it smell bad? These are major problems! But they can be fixed with some changes to diet and lifestyle. Keep in mind that the GI tract is home to 80% of the immune system! Toxins will break down the ability of the GI tract to function properly.

Emotional stress can impact the GI system very quickly. In this scenario there are connections from stress and emotions to the GI tract to the immune system to the nervous system and soon to the whole body.

There's much more to discuss. The bottom line is that everyone of us is in the line of fire from environmental toxins to the degree that they can affect our physiology and behavior. The good new is there are defensive and corrective measure which can be taken. The trick is finding a well trained doctor/coach to guide you through the process to better health.

BBC News - Meningitis C vaccine 'wears off in early teens'

The immune system works on memory. Foreign invaders are identified, dispatched, and memorized for future cases. The immune system doesn't forget. If vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system into an immune response then how could it be that a booster would be needed? Maybe it never worked in the first place? Or maybe the drug companies need to increase sales?

How to Save Your Skin

Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.*
Specific compounds found in broccoli sprouts were found in experimental mice to decrease the damage caused by UV radiation to skin thus decreasing the likely hood of developing skin cancer. Skin tumors that did develop on some of the mice were up to 70% smaller than those that developed on the mice that were not fed the broccoli compounds.
Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, contain high levels of the active plant chemicals known as glucosinolates. These are metabolized by the body into isothiocyanates, which are known to be powerful anti-carcinogens. The main isothiocyanate from broccoli is sulphoraphane.

Biological link between stress, anxiety and depression identified

Through chemical signals in the brain stress can lead to anxiety and depression. We are all faced with stress and some of can actually be good for us. Today, however, we have stress from just too many angles. Poor diet and sleep habits, overuse of electronics and exposure to electromagnetic fields, lack of economic and societal stability, environmental pollution affecting everything we eat, breathe, and drink, and....and....and....You can probably add a whole lot to this list. The key is to modify our ability to handle the stress. An already stressed system exposed to more chronic stress will, without a doubt, succumb given enough time.

This study shows on a biological level how stress turns into anxiety and depression. We want to head off the anxiety and depression and need for meds and therapy. The first key is to decide what's really worth stressing about. Then it's very important to test your cortisol and other hormones and neurotransmitters to find out how your body is handling all this stress. Usually it's not so good. When this information is gathered you can be put on a nutritional program which will boost your ability to handle stress.

Next it's really important to determine your ability to detoxify and choose appropriate nutrients and diet. A prescription of 7 hours sleep a night is mandatory in order to restore your sleep wake hormones which have been depleted due to bad habits.

Water is the next key to helping your brain and body. So many people are simply dehydrated, both from lack of water intake combined with excess consumption of caffeinated beverages which act as diuretics.

After all this is accomplished a plan of excercise can be drawn up to build cardio vascular integrity and restore lost muscle mass. Along the way this will also help normalize blood sugar, reduce fat, strengthen the heart and other inner organs, and drastically reduce the chances of all the major diseases.

Best of all you'll feel good and enjoy life! Why not?

Sit still, Lose Muscle

Loss of muscle begins in the 30s as Testosterone and Growth Hormone begin to decrease. Muscle loss also occurs due to inactivity and disease. Some people face this triple whammy and by the time the reach their 50s or 60s they are already in severe physical decline. The good news is that this trend can be reversed at any age at least to some degree. Sedentary geriatrics in nursing home have been given a weight lifting program with light hand weights and have shown marked improvement in muscle mass and strength in just a short period of time. The right nutrients can also add to the effects. Certain amino acids will help build muscle by releasing the natural Growth Hormone which is stored in the brain.

Cancer Linked to Other Chronic Illnesses

This is not surprising to integrative practitioners. Why? Because it's all about inflammation and a high degree of acidity. The body is on fire. This is the common source of all these diseases. Detoxification is critical to increase salivary pH to 7.0 and to decrease systemic inflammation. Other good practices towards this goal are to drink 2-3 liters of water per day with cut up lemon and orange slices, sleep 7 hours in a dark room, exercise, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables as part of an anti-inflammatory diet. Learning how to handle stress is also very important. Frankincense from Ethiopia is a very powerful anti-anxiety and depression medication when inhaled. Get the oil and put some on your forehead and neck. You can even put it on your pillow at night.

Dark Chocolate May Improve Metabolic Stress Response Say Nestlé Researchers

Dark chocolate to the stress rescue! What could be better news? Dark chocolate actually reduces elevated cortisol levels. Cortisol is also known as adrenaline and is elevated in response to stress and anxiety. When the stress is chronic cortisol levels can be high for so long that they become depleted as the adrenal glands can longer produce it. If the stress is still there this can be a dangerous situation.

In these cases we need to give the adrenal glands the nutrients they crave in order to function properly in response to stress. Dark chocolate, green tea, and dry red wine fit the bill! Make these items part of your daily diet.

Vegetable Juice Aided In Dietary Support For Weight Loss And Lower Blood Pressure

In this study V8 vegetable juice was used to help subject lower blood pressure. V8 has a problem in that it's loaded with sodium which is known to raise blood pressure.

A better solution is to buy a VitaMix machine. This is not a juicer. Juicers separate the valuable pulp from the juice. The VitaMix purees the entire vegetable. In this way you get whole vegetables and fruits for the health benefits and you need much less produce when compared to a standard juicer. That saves you money.
