Optimizing your health March 02, 2013 | Edit | Delete This is what I currently take and how I reversed my high blood pressure: (note that where I talk about reversing high blood pressure, this is strengthening your arteries). ****** This is what I am doing now in Mar 2013. It’s pretty much this website in abstract or nutshell form: A. Stop Eating Carbs and Sugars. 1) The very first step is to eliminate all sugar and carbs from your diet. Buy organic and whole foods whenever you can. I generally eat an Amish egg or two for breakfast, Kolona Supernatural (organic, minimally processed) cottage cheese and baby greens for breakfast. For lunch and dinner ground organic beef, lamb, turkey or chicken with vegetables and I always include a cup of cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli or cauliflower and onions. I add tumeric and ginger and basil to all my cooked foods. I eat some of the veggies raw as I am cooking. I buy organic whenever I can. You don't have to give up ice cream. Get a home made ice cream maker and use organic half and half, vanilla, Amish eggs and make your own low carb ice cream. Use unsweetened chocolate and cocoa to make chocolate ice cream. Make cookies out of almond flour, coconut flour and Amish eggs. Use stevia for sweetener and a bit of Splenda. Eat sparingly. 100 years ago, people ate ½ lb of sugar per year, we now eat that per day! Poor pancreas and liver. * 2) lower your blood sugar by eliminating all nutrasweet or aspartame diet pops. Crystal Lite Pure actually lowers your fasting blood sugar by 20 or more points. Try it yourself at home with a blood glucose meter. Drink at least 2 large cups of green tea per day. Green tea is very nourishing for the heart. If you drink diet pop, get some stevia type pops from Whole Foods that are all organic. * 3) Avocados are good for your gall bladder because they have a lot of natural veggie oil. Look for organic avocados. * 4) Avoid fruits or count the carbs. Turns out fruit sugar or fructose is only processed by the liver. This means if you eat a lot of fruit, you’re likely to end up with jaundice or worse yet, cirrhosis (chronic degeneration of the liver). Get a fructose counter on this website and use it if you eat fruits. Cancer patients should never eat more than 10 gr of fructose per day because cancer feeds on sugar. Same for heart disease and dementia. Sugar is very inflammatory and inflames your brain, arteries, joints, bones, etc. ***************************************************************************************************** B) Recommended supplements for everyone, every day: This is what I take. * 1) Vitamin B. Fish or Salmon Oil: 4 to 6 tabs (gr) per day–or more. Carlsons. is pharmacologically pure. This is highly nutritious and reduces inflammation. Take until your blood pressure is in normal range. My MD told me that. 2)One of the things besides vitamin D3 which is very, very helpful to preventing cancer, dementia and heart disease is lypospheric or lyposomal vitamin c. Vitamin C--LypoSpheric or Liposomal (coated with lecithin--ordinary vitamin C has a half life of 2 hrs and is 90% destroyed by the gut.) 1 to 3 gr or more per day. More if sick, up to 36gr gr per day. Read about amazing stories on internet of experienced vitamin C users. get via Amazon or ebay or www.healthyitems.com--and NOW Dr. Mercola sells lyposomal vitamin C! A great big "Thank You!" to Dr. M. because we know he does not sell junk. In a study of 500 adults aged 50 to 70, those with the highest levels of vitamin C in their blood. 98 % were free from cancer, heart disease or dementia! From the book “Vitamin C the real story” by Hickey. Get it on Amazon, download to your PC or phone in minutes. Kindle apps for phones are free. Kindle for PC is also free. Dr. Linus Pauling did the research back in the 1960's that vitamin C is a key to staying and being healthy. He won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his ground breaking research. There is no blood level test for Vitamin C, so, Dr. M. in addition to making sure docs are using thermogram technology instead of X ray (CAT scans, xrays, mammograms, etc.), please develop a test everyone's doc can order for vitamin C. For now you can use BTL which is where you take conv. vit. C until you get diarrhea. Research has found that sufficient vitamin C levels in your blood should kill cancer cells. We know that in pietri, 50% of leukemia cells were killed in 2 hrs! The above book is interesting because it describes the mechanism by which heart disease is cured by dosing with vitamin C. Apparently heart disease or the building up of plaque in the arteries is caused by mini infections and irritations of the interiors of our arteries. When vitmain C is administered it not only kills of these mini infections but also strengthens the cells so plaque is no longer needed. 3) Vitamin D3 -- 20,000 IU's per day if low. GET TESTED. My entire family only had 10 ngr/mL! Minimum is not what Lab Corp says (30). To prevent cancer and heart attacks the studies said 50 ngr/mL min. For optimal health or cancer patients you want to get this up as high as possible–80 to 100 ngr/mL. Work at it. Whole Foods has some great mini dissolving tabs now at 10,000 IU’s each. Take 2. 4) Probiotics: 1- 66 billion tab from Mercola or 1 Florajen tab of 30 billion for maintenance. If you have diarrhea, arthritis, dementia, you may need to take 100 billion units or more per day until you feel better. When you have bad bacteria in your gut, these produce toxins and result in heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis, etc. ** Those are the basics. Just think B, C and D3 and probiotic every day. * C. But other additional goodies I take: 1. MSM sulfur-- 1 or 2 1000 gr tabs per day. Two gr twice per day to remove skin conditions such as warts, bumps, cure HIV or cancer, etc. Also gives you a lot of energy. Sulfur is an essential nutrient not present in modern farming methods. The human body needs 98 nutrients per day! We are like a Ferrari and not like a Dodge Dart that runs on anything. Modern Agra only sprays 8 to 10 nutrients on crops so they “look” good and “grow fast.” Organic farming uses composted vegetation and manure filled with many types of nutrients. Eat organic. Mercola should sell this stuff and push it–2 small (1/4 tsp) scoops per day. Patrick McGeen pushes it on the website but they always neg him. He is not wrong about this. 2. CO Q 10 or ubiquinol. see what works best for you. This is good for your heart and brain. Ubiquinol is a more easily absorbed form of CO Q 10 and is advised for people over about 40. You can get this at www.mercola.com or www.healthyitems.com (This site has the lyposomal type or more readily absorbed version). * 3. GTF Chromium. Good for your heart and kidneys. Many people suffer from high blood pressure because their diets are deficient in magnesium and chromium. Try this is you are having problems. * 4. 2 cups of green tea--organic is important here (tea leaves readily absorb toxins from herbicides and pesticides--most are biodisruptors and toxic to humans). Two cups per day of green tea has been shown to be more effective for lowering blood pressure and helping diabetics lower their blood sugar levels. * 5. Iodide/Iodine plus--good for reproductive tissues and thyroid. I take three times per week. While your body needs balanced forms of Iodine, you should avoid too much and irritating the thyroid. This will get rid of fiberous breast and uterine issues and hot flashes. Most women have large reproductive tissues and these really, really need iodide/iodine and we just don’t get enough. Www.iodineplus.com. * 6. Kyolic Garlic tab with natural balanced tocoperhols (vit E), good for heart and brain. * 7. Green veggie juicing. low carb veggies (organic greens, cucumber, celery, tomato, asparagus--whatever you like) put in blender or juicer. I drink about a cup of green juice per day. Mercola recommends and has sold the Omega 8005 and it’s easy to use and clean. That’s what I use. * 8. Astaxanthin. Same stuff that is in krill. Very nutritious. I take Krill oil or Astaxanthin tab every day. Right now I’m taking the Mercola Women’s Krill Oil. I give my husband the Krill Oil IQ. Astaxanthin is also good to prevent sunburn. Do NOT use any lotions or sunscreen that is not organic. Most contain a lot of harsh unnatural chemicals. When the body comes into contact with something unnatural, it thinks cancer as away to surround and encapsulate chemical invaders. After enough chemical invasion, the cancer cells take over because cellular structure has been compromised. Actual studies show that when sunscreens are introduced into primitive tropical cultures, the cancer rate goes up commensurate with sunscreen purchase and use. 50% of skin cancers are found in places that never see the sun, attesting to the fact skin cancer is linked with lotions and not the sun. The further south you go in the US and the more sun exposure, the lower the overall cancer rate. Use a sun hat or bonnet to protect your face. Get into the sun 15 min each side in a swim suit. Do not use soap on your limbs. Vitamin D3 takes a few hours to make and your skin will continue to make it 48 hours after exposure. Supplement in northern climates Mar 15 to Sept 15 or during cloudy, grey days. * And of course, a low carb, no grain diet. Sugars feed cancer cells. Everyone has 10,000 cancer cells in them waiting to go wild if you eat too many toxins, herbicides, pesticides, don’t stay healthy with exercise and supplements, etc. Fruits can only be processed by the liver and excessive eating of fruit will give you jaundice–a serious condition. * Only eat wild caught fish or organic. No farm raised non organic. You would not believe what some farmers feed their fish to make them grow quickly. The best salmon is dark pink with astaxanthin and nutrients. Remember that supplements must be bioavailable. That means you can’t get cheap, junky synthetic supplements from a traditional MD or Walgreens or CVS. In general, if it’s synthetic, it’s slightly toxic to the human body and won’t work. The mega media only plants stories on how synthetic vitamins did something bad in a story. If you research the story you find out the vitamin E was synthetic, not bio available and slightly toxic. True bioavailable Vitamin E consists of natural mixed tocopherols which nourish your tissues and prevent disease and makes you feel better. Most MD’s won’t tell you that mega pharma keeps track of the scripts they write and while they can’t take kickbacks, the drug reps pay for happy hours where med info is supposedly distributed, clinical studies are discussed–it’s garbage. The best script writing docs are invited to “teach” seminars in tropical vacation destinations where food and hotel is free or low cost. Other docs just get amazing discounts at company owned timeshares and bulk airfares. Read: “Love and other drugs, story of a drug rep” by James Reidy or watch the movie to see the greed and corruption. The US pays twice the next country for health care and is 47th in health–deaths from docs, hosptials, prescriptions used as prescribed, etc. are rampant. In fact, it’s so bad, that deaths from being hospitalized in a properly run hospital with proper hosptial protocol is the 4th leading cause of death. Deaths from prescription drugs and medical protocols–used in accordance with FDA and proper methods is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Combined, they’re no. 1. The stuff about how lawyers drive up the cost of health care is simply not true. Hundreds of thousands of people are injured from hospital care and prescriptions, but less than one percent sue! Litigation is clearly NOT protecting the interests of the public. Dangerous drugs like statins (which were only developed and intended to be used for hypercholesteroldemia–mega pharma expanded that marketing–and danger to the public), diabetes drugs like Avandia, Actos are $500 per month and result in heart attacks and heart damage. Lawyers are NOT protecting the public from these dangerous drugs and medical procedures. No one is suing enough. Primarily this is because the insurance companies fix cases and engage in cronyism and wiring in the courtrooms. You have to often appeal to get somewhere. Supplements? In the 70 years the CDC has been tracking deaths of all types–inclg. supplements and prescriptions, as mentioned, prescriptions are in the 300,000 range EACH year. Supplements? In 70 years the CDC noted 12 deaths from taking too much iron. Only iron supplements have ever created any problems, and it was still a rare occurrence. Exercise? Okay, this is strange, but I've read tons and tons of Dr. Mercola's posts on his exercise guy who is young and buff. This exercise guy is great, but guess what? None of his stuff works for middle aged women. And then he sells a fancy vibrating machine, but those of us that live in Chicago know that the El does the same thing during one train ride during rush hour! Okay, that's funny. ****** What do I recommend as a 56 year old woman with the absolute worst metabolism there is? Found it in my mom's house! Miss Craig's 21 days shape up program from 1968. Yep, doing simple floor and sitting and standing exercises, this woman will tone and buff every muscle in your body and do it very safely. No jumping, twisting movements that destroy joints and delicate connective tissue. Use a few light weights and you get an invigorating 1 to 1.5 hr work out that lasts all day. Throw in a brisk half hour walk with the dogs and you're done. From this list I have learned why serious joggers drop dead all the time after a run and that's because if you're over 25 you scar and over stress your delicate arteries. I have worked with many, many elderly in the 90 to 110 year age and they will tell you they did not exercise, plenty drank. I haven't seen any active smokers in that group, but I know that plenty smoked years ago. I like to feel good and look trim, as best as I can with my lousy women in her 50's metabolism, so I'm sticking to Miss Craig's. Get the physical book for just a couple bucks on amazon or ebay used. It's a bargain. Read my review on Amazon.com Yeah, that's it. JoAnne Website with best med info on it: www.Mercola.com. Get the newsletter. Lots of docs on the boards you can ask questions.

If you want to decrease or avoid pain meds, here are some spiritual tips to reduce pain and speed up healing. 1) Ask St. Michael or Michelle for her healing scepter (same entity, angels have no gender because they do not incarnate, but most names, Ariel, Gabrielle, Uriah (Ursula), as feminine, but if you want to think that they're masculine for your purposes, that is fine too. Women, mothers, daughters and pregnant women esp. may find use of the feminine form helpful). The scepter is 3' long with two large balls at either end. Imagine this touching whatever area that is in need of healing or pain. The scepter is gold or bright white. It delivers a huge flow of green energy which is the energy for healing. 2) Take a bath in beautiful stained glass room with a tub full of green water. The water can be spring green for youth or medium green for intense healing. This is helpful for fevers and bacterial infections or systemic illnesses. 3) The star. This should be used no more than once per week. Imagine a star from the otherside, filled with power and healing. Place it on your affected area and meditate for 15 seconds that it has attached and is delivering healing energy. The star comes zooming from out of the stars in space with star energy and that is why it is so very powerful and should be used just once per week. It's color is gold or white. 4) Imagine the afflicted part being bathed in green light. NONE of the above is meant as a substitute for a licensed doctor or healer, however. Doctors and healers are our angels on earth. Sometimes your prayers for healing will lead you to a doctor, or they will lead you to the proper natural, safe supplement to solve your health problems. See my post on what I took to solve my high blood pressure problem.

Quite a few times I have posted that farms, especially mega farms should be required to post internet videos of how the animals are kept and what they are fed (show packages). Now animals rights groups (a great project) are doing that and showing how at Select Farms in Iowa the pigs are kept in cramped quarters, the baby pigs are castrated without any anesthesia, and their tails are also docked without anesthesia. They show the videos outside the grocery stores and guess what? People buy other brands. Good for them. All farmers should treat animals with dignity. They should be offered out door pasture and woods, weather permitting, and they should use anesthesia for surgical procedures. I am happy that someone is starting that requirement. The government should make a law.

Quite a few times I have posted that farms, especially mega farms should be required to post internet videos of how the animals are kept and what they are fed (show packages).

This is a response to someone who was worried about how her posts disappear, or she read a great post and that disappeared. Or maybe the little badge thingie is changing a lot from one to another without rhyme or reason--- Don't worry. Sometimes the Mercola system glitches. You have to make sure your comments get up and stay up. It's not perfect, there are a lot of people viewing and posting, so just be patient. If there's something of importance, put it up on your own blog. It also gets those little girl scout badges wrong and confused, and the points are not always right either. Some people are crabby and upset because they don't have anyone to love them. I always send those that neg my posts a whole lot of peace and love. I mentally let it surround them and ease their pain and suffering in life. I mentally send them a thousand sparkly puffy hearts and a thousand roses of their favorite color and fragrance. I always look for the posts that have a grey badge and I post them some positive thoughts if no one else has and I add points to them. They need our love and understanding and not judgment. So just have patience. Sometimes if it's a very good long post, be sure to save it in your word processor program and post again later when the system isn't so busy. Late at night is often best. Life is not made out of little badges or little glitches. It is made out of peace and love. That is all you can take with you. That is what is truly precious in the world and makes the world absolutely wonderful. Keep that in your heart and write it on your soul. Never forget it. Good luck

My mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood/bone cancer, about 4 years ago or in August of 2007. It was awful. I knew she was sick, but I didn't know what had happened to her. Over the summer, she said her "arm didn't work" (what's with that) and she was at her Rockford summer home so it was hard to find out what was going on. Eventually, I screamed at my brother to go get her and take her to the emergency room in Chicago for that arm, and her not feeling well in general, which he did. He took her to Resurrection medical center in Chicago, and all some young doc did was look at her arm and give her more pain pills (vicodin), arrgh. So I tried to make an appointment with her regular doctor, Dr. Wiacek who is normally a good doctor, but he was booked up 3 weeks! So I made an appointment for then, but continued to call him for a squeeze in, which the nurses just brushed me off. Meanwhile, I could tell my mother was sick, in pain and this was not normal. At age 76 she had a 28' camper, and while she could not bend over herself to empty the waste, she drove to just about every state park and along the Mississippi where she could find a beautiful spot to park and watch sunrises and sunsets and take walks and read books--her favorite past time. But now she was obviously not feeling well and it was driving me crazy. Two days later her arm swelled up and I took her back to Resurrection and they wrapped up the arm and gave her more pain meds. No one cared. In fact, her Dr. Wiacek practiced out of Resurrection and he didn't even show up. I took her home and she still wasn't feeling well, so I wanted to hire her a day nurse and was in the process of doing that when she called me and said he arm was starting to bruise. Resurrection was backed up one hour or more at the clinic, so I took her to Holy Family, and finally having seen a health care worker over 30, this older woman took one look at her arm and said it was broken! Broken! And no one diagnosed it. So I took her back to Resurrection, and they put the arm in a soft cast, while I was still telling them she wasn't feeling well and this wasn't normal, and Dr. Wiacek still hadn't shown up while she was in the emergency room. But the next day everything finally resolved itself. I got a call from an ambulance driver who put my mom on the phone and my mom was saying she couldn't eat couldn't keep anything down and her arm hurt despite the pain meds. My mom was apologetic, but I told her what she did was right. The ambulance driver agreed and said she had an 80 year old mom that always called the ambulance, so that was fine with her. This time in the emergency room, I was livid. I was angry her regular doctor never showed up, never returned phone calls, I told everyone how they TWICE misdiagnosed a broken arm, and I just would NOT shut up. Finally, I got the head of the ER, Dr. Wiacek, a bone specialist and I chewed them all out, starting with, why is she not feeling well, why did her arm break when she suffered no fall, why do we get all these 30 year old MD's that only prescribe pain meds when she is all of a sudden nauseous,not eating, not peeing like normal. WHAT IS GOING ON AND WHY ISN'T ANYONE CONCERNED? That was it, they admitted her for a full battery of tests and they found the multiple myeloma which had eaten her arm and broken her bone, it was shutting down her kidneys so she was rarely urinating and it was causing sever stomach upset. So I read about it on the internet and apparently, there are absolute horror stories in diagnosing multiple myeloma. To make a long story short, her oncologist Dr. Mirza put her on thalidomid/prednisone chemo and it worked for 3 years. Her multiple myeloma was stage 3B and only one or two people survived 3 years--either with the thalidomid/prednisone chemo or stem cell. So she was very lucky. In about March of 2011, the multiple myeloma came out of remission, but Dr. Mirza has assured me that his Velcaide/Dexamethasone regieme is 90% effective in putting multiple myeloma back into remission for another 5 years, with very few deaths from the chemo. Okay, so I'm good with that. Since that time, and from this list, I have learned much--thank you very much Dr. Mercola--you will never know the people you have helped and saved. I put my mother on a very low carb, very low sugar diet--as low as she will go without screaming. I give her dark, low sugar chocolate once in awhile, I make her low carb cookies out of almond flour and coconut flour, with stevia and amish eggs and unsweetened cocoa and baking chocolate. they are very yummy. If not sweet enough, sprinkle on the Truvia. My mom started to have pain from her muscles wasting due to the chemo, and the doc's junky B6 tabs from CVS did nothing, so I put her on Curcurmin/Tumeric tabs, Cayenne tabs for the pain, plus 3 Mercola women's krill oil and this did the trick. No more pain from chemo. Plus, the krill oil tabs dropped her blood pressure to normal ranges and she has not taken any blood pressure pills for weeks now. AND, her heart has stopped racing, which means she no longer needs Dilazetem or Taztia. Her pulse would go up to 90 to 100 resting and that was not good. But no more with the krill oil. One day I went to my health food and supplement store and was talking to my lady about my mom's cancer (her mother was a chemist and pharmacologist who actually made drugs, so that's why she works at a health food and supplement store) and she recommended Ojibwa tea or Essiac tea. She said, "The FDA says I can't tell you this cures cancer, but google it on the internet and find the thousands of people who take this and their severe stage 4 cancers either stopped or went away completely. It will also raise her blood levels back to normal." Another angel who will never know how many people she has helped or saved! My mother started on the tea, and by her next blood test, just a few days later, her blood levels were almost normal! Yeah! no more Procrit or Neulasta shots which are nothing but harsh chemicals at $1800 per injection, plus you have to take her to the doc for these once per week. She likes that and loves the tea. So my recommendations for blood based cancer: 1) one tumeric tab/curcurmin tab per day. Plus, put a dash of organic tumeric in all cooked dishes. cultures that eat tumeric every day in their hot cooked dishes have very low levels and death rates from cancers. Curcumin by Phystosome by Protocol is supposed to be highly bioavailable. Also, a mushroom extract called AHCC by Source Naturals is supposed to boost the immune system and be very helpful to cancer patients. 2) one Cayenne tab per day for pain. 3) one cup of: broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts or cabbage every day. put it in everything. cultures that eat cabbage every day (sauerkraut is fine), such as german women, don't get breast cancer or very many other cancers. 4) Amish organic veggies and meats. The Amish are shown to have 60 to 70% decrease in 9 types of cancer. Obviously they are now the new "chosen people" because they have chosen to farm healthy. 5) Vitamin D3. My mom's vitamin D3 levels were low at 10 ngr/mL, and she gets 1 drop of Carlson's 4,000 IU D3 per day. Her levels have improved greatly. 6) Three Mercola women's krill oil per day and/or fish oil. See above. Very nourishing for heart health. 7) One Co Q 10 tab (I am using Jarrow but will try Mercola soon) for heart health. 8) Vitamin K-2. My mother does not like dairy and this may have contributed to her bone cancer. Studies show that women who have adequate vitamin K2 (found in dairy products), do not get osteoporosis or bone cancers. It is also found in homemade stocks that boil this nutrient out of bones. 9) Vitamin C. I didn’t know this when my mom was sick, but this is one nutrient I’m sorry I skipped. Read up on this–it’s fascinating– “The Real Story of Vitamin C–for tons of useful information on this vital nutrient. About 80 to 90% of conventional vitamin C is lost in the gut. Liposomal from www.healthyitems.com is recommended for best absorption or LypoSpheric from www.liveonlabs.com, ebay or Amazon is also recommended and absorption charts show levels high enough to kill 50% of leukemia cells at 1000 ngr/mL. Minimum for healthy adults is 1 to 3 gr per day or 1 to 3 packets. Cancer patients should be using 6 gr or 6 packets per day until healthy. In a survey of older Americans, aged 50 to 70, those that had the highest levels of vitamin C in their blood (either this was natural and they had somehow not lost the ability to make vitamin C, or they were taking a supplement), 98% were free of cancer, heart disease and dementia. So, it is entirely possible to live into old age and be free from cancer, heart disease and dementia.
