Having Green Foods, Even With Blood Thinning Meds, Such as Warfarin & Coumadin, Is Recommended!

David Sandoval, CEO of Pure Planet, and Sha'Dona Brewer, answered an Email question on their show. Doctors have been recommending for years that leafy greens should not be eaten when you are on blood thinning meds, such as Warfarin and Coumadin. Recently, the New England Journal of Medicine debunked this age old theory. While green leafy vegetables do have blood thinning properties, like vitamin K, they also have coagulating properties. They give you the best of both worlds. Green leafy vegetables do not interfere with drugs. People at risk for heart attack have a tremendous need for the repairing effects (nutrients, detoxification, rebuilding, and oxygenation) that come from having green foods.

New Book: "Statin Drugs Side Effects and The Misguided War on Cholesterol"

Former NASA astronaut and retired family doctor, Duane "Doc" Graveline was a guest author on The Debra Ray Show. In 1999, in a routine physical by NASA flight surgeons, he was told to take 10 mgs of Lipitor daily. Six weeks later, his wife noticed him walking aimlessly about the yard. He didn't who she was and didn't recognize his home. She drove him to the family doctor who passed him on to a neurologist. He recovered six hours later in the neurologist's office. When he suggested to the neurologist that Lipitor might be the cause, he said "Lipitor doesn't do that." He quit taking Lipitor on his own. In 2000, in in his annual physical by NASA flight surgeons, he was told to try Lipitor again with half the last dose, 5 mgs. Six weeks later, for 12 hours, he thought he was a 13 year old high school student. He knew every kid in his class, all his books, his teachers, & assignments. When they told him he was married with children, he laughed. When they told him he was a family doctor, he couldn't believe it. Again, he quit taking Lipitor on his own. He searched the medical & scientific literature for an explanation. He said that inflammation is what causes heart attacks. Cholesterol does appear in plaque, but it is only an innocent bystander. Statin drugs are great at reducing inflammation, but have many risks. The use of cholesterol to monitor statin dosing is erroneous. When he submitted his story to the People's Pharmacy column, he found out that it was a very prevalent condition. Over 1,000 cases of statin associated transient global amnesia have been reported & most are published in the medical literature. On his website, he has over 5,400 case reports, from all over the United States, of extreme aggressiveness.

Lew's Organic Gluten-Free Protein Muffin Recipe - No Dairy, Sugar, Wheat, or Yeast

I was under the impression that gluten was partly responsible for the rise. Since the muffins are gluten-free, I used an egg instead of a lecithin substitute. Looks like egg has more to do with the rise than gluten since rise was fine. In a study, corn was found to have the greatest quantity of lutein. Another study found the greatest quantities of lutein and zeaxanthin in egg yolk. Both lutein and zeaxanthin are great if you want to avoid age related macular degeneration(ARMD). Buckwheat is the best source of protein in the entire plant kingdom and contains all eight essential amino acids. Surprising how tastey these turned out.

• 1 & 1/4 cups Organic Whole Grain Yellow Corn Meal
• 1 cup Organic Buckwheat Flour
  
• 1 tablespoon Aluminum-Free Baking Powder
• 1 & 1/4 cups + 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Organic Almond Milk (vanila)
• 1 large Organic Egg
• 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt Celtic Sea Salt from Apothecary Herbs
• 1/4 cup Organic Unsweetened Applesauce
  

Makes 12 regular sized muffins. Fill each baking cup to about a 1/4 inch from the top with batter. Preheating the oven to 425 degrees will help them rise. After placing them in the oven, lower to 350 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes. If you put your muffins in the refrigerator, they will lose their freshness faster than leaving them out. If you want to keep your muffins longer than 2 days, freeze them within 24 hours, but allow them to cool first.

How to Make Your Own Aluminum-Free Baking Powder

As I've learned the hard way, the expiration date on baking powder is optimistic. To make 1 tablespoon of baking powder, you can use these 3 ingredients. You can make more or less by just keeping the same proportions. If you make a large amount for future use, you'll have to mix it up well and figure an expiration of less than a year. Most of my recipes require a tablespoon of baking powder. Easy to just add these 3 ingredients each time. Can't be any fresher.

• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda Frontier Natural Baking Soda

• 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar Frontier Natural Cream of Tartar

• 3/4 teaspoon arrowroot Frontier Natural Arrowroot

Calcium Supplements, Drinking Milk, & Taking Antacids Will Not Reduce or Reverse Osteoporosis

David Sandoval, host of "The Health Discovery Show," talked about the increase of osteoporosis in North America.

Things to increase:

• Green vegetables - they create an alkaline environment to neutralize acids & are anabolic. It is necessary to create an anabolic environment before the body can utilize minerals to rebuild bones.
  
• Citrus juices - because they change from acid to alkaline, they provide excellent bioavailable calcium.
• Exercise - it creates "muscle resistance" leading to stronger bone mass.

Things to reduce:

• Meat - creates damaging acids like uric acid. Your body will rapidly neutralize this acid by binding it with calcium "leached" from your bones. Your body trades off bone loss to avoid a worse disease!
• Carbonated beverages - reduce oxygen & "leeches" calcium. One recent study listed teenagers as being particularly at risk for brittle & broken bones when they consume carbonated beverages!
• Sugar (refined) - also causes acid build up.
