Safe Natural Alternative Treatment for HayFever that Works!

A pilot investigation shows clearly that allicin based supplements do show
an ability to prevent alergic reaction to polen. The treatment should be started as early as possible and continued throughout the season. This represents a real chance to reduce the number of compromises that many hay fever sufferers have to make each year. Investigation results were as follows.

• The overal Average Score was 3.95 indicating that Allimax was able to control hay fever very well.
• Over 80% of volunteers reported a significant reduction in the number of chalenges throughout the study period.
• Only 2 volunteers needed to resort to drug treatment for an attack.
• Most volunteers were impresed with the treatment and claimed that their hay fever was “much better” controlled with Allimax.
• Volunteers reported far fewer symptoms than they expected with big reductions in "sore eyes," "runny nose," "itching at the back of the throat," "sneezing," and "tiredness".
• Everyone found Allimax easy to take and did not report any side effects. There were no reports of smell while taking the product.
  

Check the label of your garlic supplement. Most garlic supplements are Alliin, which your body has to convert to Allicin. Garlic oil capsules and aged garlic extract have no Allicin potential. The Allicin potential of garlic powder depends on processing and it can be easily inactivated by stomach acid, unless enteric-coated. Percentage of Allicin release from enteric-coated tablets varies widely. Allimax is a new stable pure Allicin powder that likes the acid environment of your stomach. Allimax is well tolerated and the recommended dose is only one a day. However, 2 capsules a day was used in the investigation and is recommended for hay fever. It's difficult to remember to take 1 in the middle of a large meal. I have been taking 1 with breakfast and 1 with dinner for a few weeks. I have noticed a reduction in symptoms. This is the first hay fever season, in 50 years, that my eyeballs haven't felt like they have been sandpapered.

Regenerate Damaged Tissues & Joints!!!

Debra Ray, on the Debra Ray Show, just learned of groundbreaking research done on the individual components of a new natural product called Reparagen. Reparagen activates the gene to generate cartilage and represses the gene that promotes inflammation. Reparagen works on muscle, cartilage, bone and supportive tendons and ligaments. Reparagen is a winner of the prestigious "Research Innovation Award" from the National Institute of Health. While you have to wait a minimum of 2 months for relief with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, you can feel better in days with Reparagen. You can take Reparagen with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are like the bricks in a wall and Reparagen would be the bricklayer. Reparagen comes with a 45 day money back guarantee, simply return the unused portion for refund of the purchase amount. If that's not enough, the following is from Reparagen's website.

"As we age the activity of our genes becomes unbalanced. Some become dormant and some become over-active. REPARAGEN is unique in that it restores the profile of your own genes from an “Aged” profile to a “Youth” profile. This activity is why REPARAGEN allow you to regain vitality and an active lifestyle."

Information on Reparagen to Regenerate Damaged Tissues & Joints

See my December 29, 2005, posting - Lew's Joint Cartilage Adventure, Part 3 - Rheumatoid Arthritis. Although I'm doing better, progress is slow. I'm going to switch from Now Celadrin to Reparagen. I'll continue the glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.

Lew's Organic Orange & Chocolate Quick Bread Recipe - No Dairy, Eggs, Gluten, Sugar, Wheat, or Yeast

• 2 & 1/4 cups Garbanzo Bean Flour (if not available locally - Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour online)
• 1/4 cup Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour (if not available locally - Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour online)
• 1/2 cup Organic Cocoa Powder (not roasted - Shiloh Farms makes 16 oz bags)
  
• 1 tablespoon Extra Light Olive Oil
  
• 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
• 1 cup Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk - add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice & let sit 15 minutes to thicken up (Edensoy or Westsoy)(substitute for buttermilk - 1 teaspoon lemon juice for each 1/3 cup Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk) (Rice milk will not work well. Since soy milk has much more protein, it will thicken better.)
• 1 & 1/4 cups Organic Orange Juice
  
• 2 teaspoons Organic Vanilla Extract (Alcohol Free is much better)
• 2 teaspoons Organic Cinamin
  
• 2 teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt
• 3 tablespoons Xylitol*

Makes 1 large loaf. Instead of greasing a 8" x 8" x 2" bread pan, a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit in just the bottom, worked better. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. Ran a thin spatula around and turned over. Bread fell right out and parchment paper peeled right off. If you put your bread in the refrigerator, it will lose it's freshness faster then leaving it out. If you want to keep it longer than 2 days, slice & freeze in separate freezer bags within 24 hours, but allow it to cool first.

How to Cure and Prevent Hemroids

Gary Null, on The Gary Null Show, explained that hemroids are like a vein under pressure. He said, if you follow his suggestions, your body can reabsorb the blood in the hemroids back into the system in 2 or 3 weeks.

*If you are anal, lose that attitude.
*Go when you feel your body is telling you to go, don't put it off.
*Vitamin C aids in the healing and blood clotting.
*Bioflavonoids - 300 to 500 mgs a day
*Hisperidin - 100 mgs a day
*Vitamin E - take as gamma-tocopherol
*B complex - 100 mgs a day
*CoQ10 - 300 mgs a day, speeds healing
*Garlic - natural antibiotic
*Vitamin A
*Calcium Citrate
*Magnesium Citrate
*Fiber - 50 grams a day
*Taking Yoga and relaxing with music is important.

To prevent hemroids, Gary suggested having 1 pint of blueberries with vitamin C & aloe vera in the morning and 1 pint of cherries with vitamin C & aloe vera in the late afternoon.

Speed Up Your Metabolism to Lose Weight

Mitchell Ghen, D.O., a guest on The Debra Ray Show, answered a caller who needed help to lose weight around the waist. He said that weight around the waist is typical of insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome. Dr. Ghen said these suggestions had worked in his practice.

* Eat foods on the low end of the glycemic index.
The Benefits of & How to Switch to a Low GI Diet

New Study Reveals Vegan Diets Healthier for People and the Planet

Debra Ray, on The Debra Ray Show, read from a news article at the link below. In 2002, fossil fuels emitted for food production per person were equivalent to about one-third the average greenhouse-gas emissions of personal transportation. "We say that however close you can be to a vegan diet and further from the mean American diet, the better you are for the planet. It doesn't have to be all the way to the extreme end of vegan. If you simply cut down from two burgers a week to one, you've already made a substantial difference," explain researchers Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin, assistant professors in Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago.

Reduce Your Stroke Risk

University of London researchers investigated 8 studies previously done in America, Europe, and Japan with more than 250,000 individuals. The results of the study was published in the Lancet journal.

• 3 to 5 servings of fruits & vegetables reduce stroke risk by 11%
• 5 servings or more of fruits & vegetables reduce stroke risk by 25%

They concluded that the benefits could be due to the potassium, since potassium can lower blood pressure. You increase potassium intake about 50% by increasing fruit & vegetable consumption from 3 to 5 servings per day.

Ways to increase fruit & vegetable servings:

• Add fresh berries and bananas or apple slices to your cereal.
• Use fresh fruits as desserts.
• Use fresh fruits as snacks, instead of chips, cookies, etc.

Gary suggests 12 servings of fruits & vegetables a day, as a minimum. According to Gary, this would save 125,000 lives a year, instead of the 40,000 lives that would be saved by following the study's recommendation of 5 or more servings per day. He also suggests that 2 of the 12 servings be 1 cup of blueberries, since 1 serving of fresh fruit or vegetables is half a cup and he considers blueberries to be the best. To help you get this many servings, he explained the shortcuts below:

• 8 ounces of undiluted fruit or vegetable juice = 2 to 3 servings
  
• 1 tablespoon of fruit or vegetable powder = 12 servings

2,400 Patients Taking Fosamoax & Other Bone-Building Drugs Have Reported Bone Death in Their Jaws

Debra Ray, on The Debra Ray Show, read from an article in the Los Angeles Times. Most patients were taking intravenously delivered, especially potent versions of these drugs. An additional 120 people who were taking the especially potent version in pill form, to prevent bone thinning, have been stricken with incapacitating bone, joint or muscle pain. Some were bedridden and others required crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs. Most reports were after a minor trauma such as getting a tooth extracted. In the last two years, drug makers have added warnings about bone death to some of the medications' labels and about the pain syndrome to all of them.

"I've taken off several jaws because of this problem. Because bone death can't be reversed, there's nothing we can do for these patients except ease their pain and prevent it from spreading," says Dr. Salvatore Ruggiero, an oral surgeon at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York who was among the first to observe this phenomenon in 2001.

29 Secrets to a Good Night's Sleep

Dr. Stephen Bittiker, on his Natural Health and You show, said that Dr. Mercola's website is the best researched natural alternative healthcare website. Dr. Bittiker suggested the article below on sleep, on Dr. Mercola's website, and added a couple of his own suggestions. A low-grade B complex deficiency can disturb sleep. Check your multivitamin and make sure you're taking enough. A mineral deficiency can disturb sleep. Have your mineral levels checked. He found that a number of his patients were deficient in magnesium. He added an extra 200 to 400 mgs of magnesium to their diet, based on research done at the National Institute of Health.
