FOWL! Bird Flu: It's Not What You Think

That's the title of a new book by Dr. Sherri J. Tenpenny, a guest on the Debra Ray Show. She discovered that in every area that bird flu has broken out, there is environmental toxicities, including pesticides. The sick migratory birds are like canaries in the coal mines. Dioxin levels in soil collected throughout different regions of southern Vietnam, were measured and found to be as high as 888 ppt. Dioxin levels greater than 1.1 ppt were found in the area of Bien Hung Lake. During long migrations, increased utilization of a combination of enviromental toxicities - dioxin, radiation, and other Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) stored in fat, creates acute poisoning of the birds. H5N1 is a contributing factor to the demise of the birds loaded with toxicities, rather than the causative factor. She said, "What is happening to the birds around the world should be serving as a resounding wake-up call for the foul condition of planet earth." Dr. Tenpenny is donating $10 of the $25 price of her book to Health Freedom Foundation’s Umbrella Stand Project.

Researchers Find Dark Chocolate Cocoa Improves Skin!

Debra Ray read about German researchers, who focused on a form of antioxidants known as flavinols. Dark cocoa is particularly rich in flavanols. These researchers had women drink a cup of dark chocolate cocoa each day. After 3 months, these improvements in the skin were noted:

* Improved texture & thickness - smoother
* Improved blood circulation
* Better hydration
* Less prone to burning from UV exposure

I'll continue my green tea, but add a cup of dark chocolate cocoa. Much more tasty! The cocoa at the link below isn't roasted, has no sugar, and is organic. You can add the safe alternative to sugar - *Xylitol. A level tablespoon of cocoa powder and a level teaspoon of Xylitol in 8 ounces of rice or almond milk is very good.

*Xylitol is a Natural and Safe Sugar Substitute*

NOW Xylitol, 16 Oz.

NOW Organic Cocoa Powder, 21.5 to 107.5 mg of cocoa flavanols per 1/4 cup

Study Links Dementia With Cholesterol Decline

Huakini's Honolulu-Asia Aging Study (HAAS) looked at individuals whose cholesterol begins to decline over a 15 year period. They can link dementia with cholesterol decline. Debra Ray added that many research scientists and physicians believe that one of the reasons why we see in some individuals, that use cholesterol lowering drugs, brain dysfunction and global amnesia. Don't think the lower the cholesterol, the better. We need that cholesterol for the membranes of the body, particularly the brain. Dr. John Abramson has said, in an article for the Bristish Medical Journal Lancet, that there's no science to back the new lower standards for blood fats.

Study Links Bacteria In Gut to Obesity

Jeffrey Gordon, M.D, of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is a professor & director of the Center for Genome Sciences. Gordon's study suggests that the bacterial mix in lean & obese people differs. Twelve obese people were studied by Gordon's team for 2 types of gut bacteria. One type of gut bacterium was more common in lean people than in obese people and the other type more common in obese people than in lean people. The obese people went on a diet for 1 year. Their gut bacteria levels started to look more like the gut bacteria levels of lean people as they lost weight.

Lew's Joint Cartilage Adventure, Part 4 Ostearthritis

As of a several months ago, the supplements didn't seem to be working any longer. The cartilage in my thumbs joints seemed to be just about gone. The range of motion was way too much, with very little strength. Dr. Stephen Bittiker mentioned, on his show, that he has noticed only hyaluronic acid from rooster comb seems to be effective (not vegetarian hyaluronic acid). After taking 1 Jarrow Formulas Hyaluronic Acid Complex (from rooster comb) with each meal for 4 months, the range of motion is about normal with some thumb strength. Nice to be able to use fingernail clippers again! Strength is gradually improving. I quit taking glucosamine because your body tries to make hyaluronic acid from glucosamine. Why not take a shortcut and use hyaluronic acid. Also tried quitting Celadrin for the pain. That was a mistake! Back on 1 Now Foods Celadrin with each meal. Still taking glucosamine sulfate, 1/4 teaspoon with each meal.

Whole Vitamin C Is 10 Times More Absorbable Than Ascorbic Acid

Extracted from the newsletters at pureplanet.com. Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgi discovered vitamin C in red peppers in the late 1920s and won a Nobel Prize for his work. He also discovered that the vitamin C in the red peppers was at least 10 times more absorbable than the pure ascorbic acid he had isolated out of the pepper. This was ignored. Today many vitamin C products are derived from corn that bioengineers manipulated to increase its vitamin C content. If you take 100 mg. of ascorbic acid, within a few hours at least 90% of it will be excreted in the urine. If you take 10 times more to account for a 90% loss, it may cause diarrhea. Studies have shown that the body will absorb close to 100% of the whole vitamin C. The link below is for an economical(only about $5 for 6 oz) natural whole vitamin C.
