Hi Dale,

Can You tell me why zapping which is effective for killing parasites etc, does not cause male infertility?

It does reach most of the body.

Best Wishes

Are You Getting Enough Protein

Obtaining Ideal Weight: How Much Protein Do You Need?

When people diet to lose weight, they sometimes cut back on foods that contain fat.

But often, those foods are also some of the best sources of protein
– meat, eggs, cheese and other dairy foods. That creates a
problem:

When we don’t get enough protein, there is increasing
evidence that the body tries to store calories rather than burning
them.

The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for healthy adults is:

0.37 grams of quality protein per pound of body weight per day.

For example:

55 grams of quality protein per day for a 150 pound person
73 grams of quality protein per day for a 200 pound person
91 grams of quality protein per day for a 250 pound person

HOW TO GET THAT MUCH PROTEIN?

An ounce of meat (the weight after the shrinkage of cooking) provides about 7 grams of protein.

An egg contains about 7 grams of protein.
Milk contains 8 grams of protein per 8 ounce cup

Example: To get 70 grams of protein from meat, you would need to eat 10 ounces of cooked meat each day…

I suggest you keep a log book for a few weeks till you know exactly how much it takes to assure enough protein.

Are High Doses of Vitamin D Safe for Children?

bonnie — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:07:48 +0000

Giving very high doses of vitamin D to school children is safe, and
some researchers believe that it may be necessary to bring their blood
levels of vitamin D up to the amount necessary for optimum bone growth
and health.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in children around the world.

A short-term study included 25 school children randomly assigned to
receive a placebo or 14,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 per
week for eight weeks. In an additional long-term study, 340 study
participants took a placebo, 1,400 IU weekly, or 14,000 IU a week, and
were followed up at six and 12 months. No signs of vitamin D
intoxication were seen in any of the children.

Currently, the Institute of Medicine recommends a daily vitamin D3
intake of 200 IU for children. The high dosage used in the study was 10
times that amount.

Reuters September 1, 2008

There is a simple blood test for vitamin D (a “25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test”) that everyone should ask for when they see their doctor. The results of the test will guide you as to the amount of vitamin D3 you should take daily. Have your children’s blood tested and give them a tablespoon of cod liver oil or a capsule of 5,000 IUs every Sunday then have their blood tested again in 6 months to see how they are doing (do this for yourself too).

If You Are Not Taking 10,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 Daily You May Not Have Enough Vitamin D3 In Your Body

dale — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:36:07 +0000

Vitamin D3 Update

If you are not taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 in a capsule daily, especially if you rarely get sun exposure, you may not have enough Vitamin D3 in your body to prevent disease. For instance, without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen and in the Health Professionals Follow Up Study (Walter Willett, Principal Investigator, Meir Stampfer, and colleagues, 1989) men who were deficient in vitamin D were twice as likely to have a heart attack as men who had adequate levels of vitamin D and there is evidence that vitamin D plays a role in controlling blood pressure and preventing artery damage.

I recently learned about a simple blood test for Vitamin D (a "25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test") that everyone should ask for when they see their doctor. I learned about it when I attended a Hormone’s for Health Seminar July 9th and 10th, 2008.

Because I’ve been taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily for a year and wanted to be sure I wasn’t taking too much, after the seminar I made an appointment with my Primary Doctor at Kaiser Permenante and requested a 25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test. A week after I had my blood drawn at the lab on July 25th, the results arrived in the mail and I was relieved to learn I am not taking too much. My Vitamin D level is only 62 ng/mL (the normal range is 30 to 100 ng/mL). (I thought it would be much higher since I live in the San Francisco East Bay area where there is no shortage of sunshine.)

At the seminar we were advised to question our doctor about Vitamin D3 and if he or she is not keeping up with the research on it (if he or she is still recommending 400 IU to 800 IU of Vitamin D daily, for instance), we were urged to either change doctors or at least read for ourselves the published articles on Vitamin D3 and ask our doctor to order a 25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test.

A good example of doctors not keeping up-to-date on the Vitamin D research is my experience last year at Kaiser. In July 2007 Kaiser’s Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine or "DO" recommended that I take between 400 IU and 800 IU of Vitamin D3 (adequate calcium and exercise was also recommended) to prevent osteoporosis in my spine, when I was already taking 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily and my bone density test showed that I have osteopenia, which is a pre-osteoporosis condition, in my lumbar spine. His recommendation came by mail after I had a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Hologic machine test or "bone density test."

I believe he should have recommended that I take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily and ordered the 25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test to be done then and another one a month later for comparison. (On my own I increased my intake of Vitamin D3 from 2,000 IU to 10,000 IU because of published articles I read at the time.)

Some informed doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area are recommending 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily temporarily for their patients who have low amounts of Vitamin D3 in their blood. The patients are tested again in a month to see if there is an improvement.

Learning about asking my doctor for a 25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test was worth the attendance fee for the seminar ($1,000) because seeing the blood test results put to rest any concern I had about taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily.

Have you had a bone density test lately?

If not, ask your doctor for a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Hologic machine test and a 25 Hydroxyvitamin D blood test also. When you see the results you will know if you are getting enough Vitamin D.

Love,

Bonnie

PS I plan to request another bone density test at Kaiser next year to see if I’m any closer to my goal of reversing the osteopenia in my lumbar spine by continuing to take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily (along with calcium and excercise).

Mold Allergy - Atrial Fibrillation - Colloidal Silver Testimonial

dale — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:44:04 +0000

I used the colloidal silver this past week several times for a canker sore in my mouth.

Had not used it at all in years.

I have had afib (Atrial Fibrillation) that was diagnosed 4 years ago and been working at getting it under control since then.

On my own diagnosed that mold inside and out was the main trigger.

Have been using Nasal Crom and antihistimines since this past fall and gotten considerable relief. However still had spells of rapid heartbeat and some asthma.

This past week I developed a canker in my mouth (too many acidic fruits) and began using the colloidal silver 2 or 3 times a day to clear it up.

Yesterday I realized that the heart irregularities had completely disappeared for a day or so.

Don`t ask me how I put together this with the silver but I did and began researching the silver for allergies.

What a suprise!

I have been using it as a spray in the mouth and will continue in the same treatment times of twice a day.

Serrapeptase Question

dale — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:49:21 +0000

Question:

I have a lot of internal scar tissue in my uterus and abdomen along with fibroids.

How is internal scar tissue excreted from the body given this location?

Thanks,

Dee

Answer:

Any and all material digested by enzymes will be moved through the circulatory system and captured by the liver, then dumped into the colon for removal.

If the liver is overflowing symptoms can include:

Fatigue
Headaches
Runny Nose
Aches and Pains
Memory Problems
More…

These symptoms can be managed with coffee enemas, link to enema instructions.

Allergies, What Causes Them and What Can Be Done To Reduce or Eliminate Them?

I need to know more about what you find the cause to be before signing up.

Thanks, Elana

Two people exposed to the same substance - one "Has Allergies" one person does not.

In my observation one person has adequate reserves for handling the exposure and one person does not.

This course answers the questions:

What to avoid…
How to clean out your system to allow more reserves…
What supplements assist in your quest for allergy free living…

I’d like to use the freeze dried aloe on my skin.

I’d like to use the freeze dried aloe on my skin.

  How much water do I use per capsule?

  Once the aloe’s mixed with the water, how long is it good for?
Liz
Dear Liz
Thank you for your question.
Are you going to use the spray for sunburn?
If not, what is your goal?
Each capsule of freeze dried whole leaf aloe vera juice contains the equivalent of one ounce of whole leaf aloe vera juice.
It is important to note that preservatives are added to all aloe vera juice that is sold in stores to insure a reasonable shelf life without the juice growing mold. Preservatives are often acid in nature and are not good for spraying on to skin, especially if it is sunburned. There are no preservatives or fillers of any kind in the freeze dried capsules.
To make an aloe vera spray for your skin open one capsule of aloe vera and sprinkle the contents into one or two ounces of distilled water that you have placed into a spray bottle (wash the bottle and sprayer with soap and water and rinse them thoroughly before adding the distilled water and aloe vera powder).
The aloe vera powder will dissolve quickly.

  Be sure to shake the bottle before you spray each time.
The aloe vera and distilled water mixture will be safe to use for one or two days if kept at room temperature and for five days if you keep the bottle in the refrigerator between uses. Date the bottle.
