Genetics May Determine Sensitivity to Other People's Drinking Behavior

2010-07-23T13:56:00.000-07:00

Drinking alcohol increases levels of dopamine -- a brain chemical that causes pleasure and makes us feel good. The dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) has been shown to be involved in motivation of seeking out rewards. Research has suggested that carrying a specific form (or variant) of this gene -- one that includes seven or more repeats of a certain section of the gene -- may be associated with craving caused by alcohol-related cues.

The results showed an effect between how much the confederate drank and the gene variant on volunteers' alcohol consumption: When the confederate was seen consuming three or four drinks, carriers of the 7-repeat form of the gene drank more than twice as many glasses of alcohol than did noncarriers of the gene variant. However, when the confederate consumed only one drink, there was no difference in alcohol consumption between carriers and noncarriers. These findings suggest that individuals carrying this form of the DRD4 gene may be more sensitive than noncarriers to other people's drinking behavior.

Body Voltage and Disease, Coast to Coast George Noory show

2010-07-22T23:38:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday's show, Dr. Jerry Tennant talked about how he developed a method of using voltage to diagnose and treat a variety of health problems. A successful eye surgeon, he came down with encephalitis, and it was during this period that he correlated lowered voltage in specific body areas with illness. Pain is actually a symptom of abnormal voltage, and "all you have to do to get rid of it is insert enough electrons to get the voltage back up into the operating range," he said. Dr. Tennant has developed a device called the Biomodulater which can transfer the electrons to cell membranes.

Many ailments referred to as auto-immune are not caused by the body attacking itself, but from bacteria releasingdigestive enzymes that get into the bloodstream and attack low voltage areas, he explained. Dr. Mark Starr, who has studied with Dr. Tennant, joined the discussion to talk about how he was successfully treated with the Biomodulater, and how hyothyroidism ( previous show recap) is often associated with low voltage. A lot of the hypothyroidism is due to fluoride exposure, Tennant added.

He also pointed toward root canals as a source of health problems-- one infected root canal can shut down 63% of the immune system, he cited. Another cause of having low voltage is not having enough stomach acid (sometimes brought about by a deficiency of iodine and zinc), he detailed.

Show Notes
PH of 7.35 = -20~ mV, standard voltage
To Create new cells the body must go to -50mV
at -10mV you start to get chronic disease.
at +30mV, cancer cells grow
Children and Athletes run at about -35mV

Pain indicates a lack of voltage
"Throb pain = dilation of vessels to get new blood in for repairs"

Bones regenerate in about 1 year
Skin in about 6 weeks
Kidneys in about 3 months

The body has Fibris Tissue (wires) running from the front down and over the back toward the head, right over the muscles

What happens when voltage drops in the Body? Three things
1) Oxygen Levels Drop
2) ATP production at the cellular level drops. Thats what creates energy in the body. Lack of oxygen does this
3) bacteria and viruses in the body can circulate and host more easily, leaving behind waste that can consume your body.
4) Fungus can grow throughout the body

The reason baking soda is great for the body is it gives up electrons to make your body Ph balanced and remove the positive charges (Keith Brewer)

Two types of low voltage chronic disease
1) Good overal voltage in the body, bad circuits or parts in your body
2) Low voltage all around

The Thyroid works with the Adrenalin gland to keep the voltage going in the body. Thyroid creates 90 percent of that energy. Usually, the thyroid will shut down first. Through the pituitary gland a conversion of T4 in to T3 is made. You need these 5 things in the body for this to happen properly

*Iodine, Selenium, Iron, Zinc, Cortisol, Progesterone (gludathione)((RT3) = Gluthanion- 3 amino acids. You need this to loose weight.

So what else contributes to weak voltage?

Dental Work - Root Canals usually leave dead tissue which causes infections almost always. One tooth infected can cause up to a 63% loss in immune ability for the body.
Titanium implants still seem to infect. Zirconium may be less infectious.

Stomach Acid - Improper Digestion. Stomach not absorbing proteins that are foreign. Body prefers to manufacture its own protein, thus consuming amino acids is a better choice. Low Stomach acid usually is caused by low ZINC, IODINE, and not enough water.

When food enters the stomach its at a PH of 2, acidic. The Pancreas will then raise it to ph 8. HCL and Bicarbonate. Not enough acid can throw the whole system off.

Two products to test and alleviate symptoms of bad voltage:
Bio Modulator - You can test and fix bad frequency in the body
Bio Transducer - Detects where there is no magnetic flux, and thus leakage. This would be a form of acupuncture

Scar in body = Leak Voltage

Hypo-Thyroid - Fluoride makes this worse. Thyroid raises may relate to bipolar disorders

If your thyroid checks out ok by temperature test first thing in AM with thermometer under armpit greater then 97.8 and your adrenals are not well, it could be emotional trauma.

During pregnancy, a mother may have emotional states that secret hormones to baby, and this can have an effect on state of child growing up

Dr. Russo - changes in voltage

Adrenals bottom out at around 2 am for normal sleep pattern.

Essential oils, plants have the same frequency as the human body, but they can only provide relief and nothing more

Avoid addictive additives like MSG and Aspartame, they are used to make you consume more, other things to avoid are High Fructose Corn Syrup and Textured vegtable protein.

Typically joint pain is caused by toxins in the body.

If you have a craving for sweets, its because your body is demanding minerals.

Magnetic Pyramids, ATOMS in the universe

Soy has Maganese, and it may contribute to autism. Aluminum and other substances from birth control pills

Vegans do not test normal for certain acids, Seaweed may contain high amounts of mercury.

Many loose weight with Hypnosis and "imaginary" lap band surgery

2010-07-21T23:00:00.000-07:00

So why do the real thing, when for alot less money you can try a safer alternative?

There was no pain, no risk of infection, no anaesthetic, no recovery period afterwards, and all at only a fraction of the £7,000 such surgery would usually cost.

That's because the patient, company director Emma Eveleigh-Anderton, 36, never actually had a gastric band fitted, but was just hypnotised into thinking she had.

The mother-of-two paid £980 for four sessions over a one-month period, starting with a 45-minute 'virtual' surgery where therapist Russell Hemmings talked her through every step of the medical procedure as though she was actually in the operating theatre.

She said: 'It was as if I was having the operation, except I was in an office rather than a theatre.

'After the first session I felt hopeful. But after the second I really felt positive and much more controlled about my eating.

'It has actually re-educated my mind. I was starting to feel fuller quicker and was eating much less.'

Mrs Eveleigh-Anderton, from Coventry, runs her own conference and exhibition organisation firm with husband Darren, 42.

Her weight issues had not been helped by the struggle to shift her baby weight after the birth of daughters Antonia, seven, and six-year-old Alice a year apart.

She turned to the virtual gastric band therapy after diets, appetite suppression pills and sheer willpower failed to help her lose weight alone.

She swapped takeaway food for salad, fruit and grilled fish and as the weight fell off - up to 3lb a week - she began taking gentle morning jogs.

Now she runs for 30 minutes most mornings and has dropped from a size 18 to an eight.

USDA Dietary Guidelines Come Under Fire

2010-07-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

The USDA Dietary Guidelines are a leading cause of the American health and obesity crisis, according to scientists, nutritionists and consumers who testified recently at a USDA public hearing on the report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC). Dissenters argued that the proposed 2010 revisions to the Dietary Guidelines are worse, will not prevent obesity and will only increase degenerative disease in the US.

Those testifying against the Guidelines focused on the Committee’s misuse of scientific data to justify a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. Dr. Jeff Volek, scientist and academic researcher at the University of Connecticut, noted that the DGAC report ignored scientific studies showing the effectiveness of low carbohydrate diets for weight loss.

Four of the dissenters presented the views of the Nutrition and Metabolism Society, a group of nutrition researchers and medical professionals who have studied the benefits of a low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss, insulin regulation and protection against chronic disease. “We expected the new guidelines to recognize current research that vindicates saturated fats as a cause of heart disease and weight gain, and to acknowledge the demonstrated benefits of lower carbohydrate diets,” said Dr. Richard Feinman of Downstate University, New York.

Further, Dr. Andrew Shao, senior vice president, scientific and regulatory affairs of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), expressed concern that dietary supplements are not addressed in the draft to the extent necessary.
“Americans need practical guidance on improving their personal dietary habits and avoiding nutrient shortfalls, including the beneficial and supporting role that vitamin and mineral supplements play in a nutrition program. Unfortunately, the 2010 DGAC Draft Report takes a step backward—without scientific justification—when it comes to vitamin and mineral supplements, by failing to recognize how the multivitamin can address dietary inadequacies for nutrients,” he said.

Vitamin D levels linked to lowering Parkinson's disease risk

2010-07-16T16:11:00.000-07:00

Greater levels of vitamin D have been linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's disease in a study in Finland where low sunlight leads to a chronic lack of the nutrient, researchers said Monday.

Scientists from the National Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki, Finland, first hypothesized that Parkinson's "may be caused by a continuously inadequate vitamin D status leading to a chronic loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain."

Vitamin D, supplied chiefly by the sun's ultraviolet rays and a small range of foods, is known to play a role in bone health and may also be linked to cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, the researchers said.

The researchers could not explain how vitamin D levels may affect Parkinson's risk, but said the nutrient "has been shown to exert a protective effect on the brain through antioxidant activities, regulation of calcium levels, detoxification, modulation of the immune system and enhanced conduction of electricity through neurons."

"In intervention trials focusing on effects of vitamin D supplements, the incidence of Parkinson disease merits follow up," they added.

"This study was carried out in Finland, an area with restricted sunlight exposure, and is thus based on a population with a continuously low vitamin D status," about half of the suggested optimal level, researchers said.

What you eat now can affect your offspring - Epigenetics

2010-07-16T14:43:00.000-07:00

(NaturalNews) A recent study out of Georgetown University Medical Center has concluded that what you eat can affect your children's and grandchildren's health, even if they eat healthy themselves. Sonia de Assis and her colleagues observed that rats fed fatty, unhealthy food pass on an increased cancer risk to their children and grandchildren.

The study, which was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research in Washington, D.C., illustrates that a fatty diet can actually contribute to "epigenetic" DNA modifications, which are inherited changes in DNA patterns. Essentially, one's offspring can inherit DNA changes caused by their parents' unhealthy diets and other environmental factors.

If a person's parents or grandparents ate a diet rich in processed, chemical-laden foods throughout their lives, then the DNA changes that likely occurred in their bodies may be passed down to their children. Even if they themselves didn't develop cancer, the children will be more likely to develop it, based on the findings of the study.

And if the children also eat junk food diets that lack proper nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and other necessary life components, then their children will be even more prone than they were to develop degenerative diseases like cancer.

But your personal diet and lifestyle choices are still the primary deciding factors for whether or not you develop a degenerative disease. Even if your parents and grandparents ate unhealthy diets all their lives does not mean that you have to get sick. Eating a strong, healthy diet and regularly exercising will do wonders for your health.

Spraying Skies with Ultra Fine Aluminum? How can that be healthy

2010-07-16T14:00:00.000-07:00

Some say its already being done. For what?

Chemtrails?

Mauro Oliveira, webmaster of http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/ said that aluminum became a concern to many after the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting when independent journalists sent shockwaves around the world after breaking the story of scientists discussing the plausibility of spraying 10 to 20 mega-tons of aluminum into the sky in SAG campaigns. Francis Mangels, a retired USDA/USFS Biologist commented on the use of aluminum by saying, “although aluminum is an abundant element, it does not exist naturally in the environment in free form. Dispersing massive amounts of ultra-fine aluminum particulates as proposed by geo-engineers into the stratosphere would have unquantifiable human health and environmental impacts”. When scientists were asked about the risks associated with the use of aluminum sprayed as an aerosol in SAG programs, they admitted that they have only begun to research aluminum and have published nothing. They also admitted that something terrible could be found in the future that they don’t know about. Also, when asked about deployment of current programs, scientists denied that any SAG programs have been deployed. This contradicted the findings of many who claim that SAG programs are well under-way and that high amounts of aluminum and other harmful substances from these programs are being found resulting in the devastation of eco-systems and the health of people around the world.

Vitamin Supplement Maker / Distributor NBTY, Inc sells to Wall Street Fund

2010-07-15T22:32:00.000-07:00

Carlyle strikes $3.8 bln deal for NBTY

NBTY is a leading global vertically integrated manufacturer, marketer and distributor of a broad line of high-quality, value-priced nutritional supplements in the United States and throughout the world. Under a number of NBTY and third party brands, the Company offers over 22,000 products, including products marketed by the Company’s Nature's Bounty® (www.NaturesBounty.com), Vitamin World® www.VitaminWorld.com), Puritan's Pride® (www.Puritan.com), Holland & Barrett® (www.HollandAndBarrett.com), Rexall® (www.Rexall.com), Sundown® (www.SundownNutrition.com), MET-Rx® (www.MetRX.com), Worldwide Sport Nutrition® (www.SportNutrition.com), American Health® (www.AmericanHealthUS.com), GNC (UK)® (www.GNC.co.uk), DeTuinen® (www.DeTuinen.nl), LeNaturiste™ (www.LeNaturiste.com), SISU® (www.SISU.com), Solgar® (www.Solgar.com), Good 'n' Natural® (www.goodnnatural.com), Home Health™ (www.homehealthus.com), Julian Graves, Ester-C® (www.Ester-C.com) and Natural Wealth (www.naturalwealth.com) brands. NBTY routinely posts information that may be important to investors on its web site.

Carlyle Group [CYL.UL] struck a $3.8 billion deal on Thursday to buy U.S. nutritional supplements maker NBTY Inc (NTY.N), beating several other buyout firms to clinch one of the biggest private equity deals so far this year.

Carlyle's $55.00 a share cash offer, unanimously approved by the board, is a 47 percent premium to NBTY's Wednesday close and values the company at more than eight times its earnings.

Shares of NBTY jumped as much as 44 percent to their highest level in three years.

"There was an auction of several private equity firms and the board of directors took what they believed to be the best offer," said CFO Harvey Kamil in an interview. "We are happy that shareholders are prospering from this transaction."

The other buyout firms circling the firm included TPG Capital LP [TPG.UL], Bain Capital, Apollo Global Management, Hellman & Friedman and Blackstone Group LP (BX.N), several sources familiar with the matter said.

The deal with Carlyle includes a "go-shop" provision of 35 days allowing others to counterbid.

Blackstone is no longer involved or considering NBTY, however, one of those sources said.

The purchase price of Carlyle's deal is made up of $2.4 billion debt financing, of which about $1.5 billion is in bank debt and about $900 million is bonds, one of the sources said. That means the deal is financed by 63 percent debt and about 37 percent equity.

Summertime and Skin Cancer Worries

2010-07-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

Over 800 thousand Americans will be diagnosed with a common form of skin cancer this year. From previous videos, it seems that having a large antioxidant intake helps to stave off the incidence. However, for those diagnosed, there is information on a type of treatment available.

"In his presentation, Dr. Cham explained the exact mechanism of action of BEC-5. It's so simple even the present "medical mainstream" and the Skin Cancer Foundation should be able to understand it, the very first time! But according to the Skin Cancer Foundation website: "There is no one best method to treat all skin cancers and precancers." This website doesn't even mention Dr. Cham or any of the versions of BEC-5 at all!"

And where is the Mechanism from? EGGPLANT

Eating eggplant can't hurt us because the alkaloids it contains cannot penetrate healthy, non-cancerous cells. But skin cancer cells are subtly different than normal healthy cells. Unlike normal, healthy skin cells, BCC, SCC, and AK cancer cells all have a small change in their membranes that binds to the plant sugar rhamnose.
The rhamnose part of the solasodine glycoalkaloid binds itself there, and is then taken up into the skin cancer or AK cell, where it ruptures the membranes of internal cell structures called "lysosomes."

Lysosomes are "bags" of powerful enzymes that, when ruptured, can eat up any cell from within. Once released by the rupture of their surrounding membranes by the solasodine alkaloids, the lysosomal enzymes literally destroy the cell. Normal, healthy skin cells are untouched, as they cannot "take up" these glycoalkaloids.

Dr. Cham showed the ICIM group "before, during, and after" slides of treatment of multiple instances of BCC and SCC. The cancers were often large ones, from 2 to 6 inches or more in diameter. Yet all of them were gradually healed and replaced by normal tissueâ€”in every case! And there was none of the disfigurement often caused by surgery.

Dr. Cham noted that approximately 70,000 Australians have cured their skin cancers with versions of BEC-5, with virtually no side effects. At the end of his presentation, Dr. Cham received a standing ovation from all of the doctors, nurses, and others present. There are products available.

World Cup Soccer Finals - Germany, Uruguay, Spain, Netherlands

2010-07-09T20:27:00.000-07:00

We've seen over 60 games and a whole month of South Africa host the world cup. So what is actually needed to play soccer, footie, or futbol as many call it

As millions of people around the globe watch the greatest soccer tournament in the world,  World Cup South Africa 2010, enthusiasm of the sport is turning our youngest players into endurance athletes. If your favorite player is in the quarterfinals and is in his 5th game, he may have completed the equivalent of a marathon!

Estimates vary, but most of the World Cup players you will watch run an average of 6-7 miles per game. (or about 10 kilometers) Midfielders run the most, central strikers and defenders the least. This may not sound like much to a professional triathlete or marathon runner – broken down its 4 miles per hour for that midfielder. If the midfielder is playing a full 90 minutes their average heart rate will be approximately 150-170 beats per minute. However, the most physically intense part of a World Cup game is when that player is in control of the ball. Their pulse rate goes up and lactic acid production (that heavy feeling in your legs you perceive after sprinting) increases.

In 2007, AC Milan’s Gennaro Gattuso ran an estimated 10 km in one game against Manchester United. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) had been working on a system for calculating things like how far individual players run, and how far and fast the ball gets kicked by tracking them with multiple cameras. The system is accurate within a 3% margin of error.   To get an idea of how much running that is, 10 km is the equivalent of running across 350 basketball courts. Gattuso’s numbers aren’t all that unusual either. 10 km or about 6-7 miles is actually pretty average.

In terms of its physical demands, soccer shares more in common with endurance sports, such as marathon running, than it does with other ball sports such as basketball and tennis. Soccer has a bigger playing field than any other major sport and less stoppage.

Training and supplementation are very important. But what would be the MOST important? We'll be posting our thoughts soon!

Choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder?

2010-07-05T15:56:00.000-07:00

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you're "mentally diseased" and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardiannewspaper reports, "Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder" and goes on to claim this "disease" is called orthorexia nervosa -- which is basically just Latin for "nervous about correct eating."

"Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out."

Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there's something wrong with you.

But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be "normal?" If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that's okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic, natural foods, apparently.

Full-body scanners could pose cancer risk at airports, U.S. scientists warn

2010-07-05T15:21:00.000-07:00

The Daily Mail of London writes "experts say radiation from the scanners has been underestimated and could be particularly risky for children. They say that the low level beam does deliver a small dose of radiation to the body but because the beam concentrates on the skin -- one of the most radiation-sensitive organs of the human body -- that dose may be up to 20 times higher than first estimated."

"While the dose would be safe if it were distributed throughout the volume of the entire body, the dose to the skin may be dangerously high," University of California biochemist David Agard is quoted as saying by Australia's news.com.au. "Ionizing radiation such as the X-rays used in these scanners have the potential to induce chromosome damage, and that can lead to cancer," he adds.

40 Million Doses of H1N1 Vaccine Will Be Burned

2010-07-05T14:51:00.000-07:00

About a quarter of the swine flu vaccine produced for the U.S. public has expired — meaning that a whopping 40 million doses worth about $260 million is being written off as trash.

About 30 million more doses will expire later and may go unused, according to one government estimate. If all that vaccine expires, more than 43 percent of the supply for the U.S. public will have gone to waste.

Millions of doses of flu vaccine generally go unused every year and are marked for burning, but in recent years the leftovers amounted to closer to 10 percent of the supply, rather than the 25 percent expiring now. Government flu experts couldn't recall throwing away anything close to 40 million doses before.

In Europe, where nations also found themselves with millions of unused doses, some commentators have attacked the World Health Organization, which declared swine flu a global epidemic, or pandemic.
The critics have questioned the motivation of some WHO advisers who had links to the pharmaceutical industry.
Unused flu vaccine is a common problem. The June 30 expiration date is set by the FDA and has less to do with the vaccine's shelf life than the desire to tweak the recipe each year to protect against the three flu strains expected to cause the most illness.

Will you live to 100?

2010-07-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

A genetic test which tells whether you will make it to your century has been developed by scientists.

The computer program will give individuals their odds of reaching the age of 100 - and tell them whether their chances are higher or lower than average.

Its inventors, from the respected Boston University in the U.S., say it will allow those not blessed with the cocktail of 'centenarian genes' to make changes to their lifestyle to maximise the time they have.

The researchers studied the DNA of 1,600 centenarians, including some as old as 119, and compared it with the DNA of others.

This highlighted 150 genetic changes which were more common in those who lived to a ripe old age. They could be broken down into 19 groups, or genetic 'signatures', the journal Science reports.

Researcher Dr Paola Sebastiani said: 'Some signatures correlate with the longest survival, other signatures correlate with the most delayed onset of age-related diseases such as dementia or cardiovascular disease.'

And the researchers' method is only 77 per cent accurate - meaning almost a quarter of those tested could be told they didn't have what it takes to live to 100, when in fact they did.

One in 15 has the right combination of genes to live to 100, but just one in 600 actually makes it, meaning factors such as healthcare, diet and exercise are hugely important.
