Why doesnt our good Dr Mercola, even just occassionally, reprint an article from the Journal of Orhtmolecular Medicine. Then he need not try to explain away nonsensical misinformation like this, pushed out by mainstream medicine. The only comments would be BRAVO. We all know sat fats are good, especially little known fact that they maintain cell wall inegrity, and this PREVENTS cancer, (A Cure For All Cancer, Hulda Clark. ND PhD.) An anti sat fat mouse experiment, as I see it with my conspiratorial old eyes, is is simply a subtle . Why? To scare people off sat fats, so as to protect the trillion dollar fraud that Cancer Inc perpetuates. Do you have trouble sleeping? Melatonin tme release, 3mg, Hops/valerium herbs. Tryptophane. Eliminate tea and coffee if you dont metabolise caffeine rapidly. Ear plugs and eye mask. A bean bag pillow. Not drink much water after 3 pm,. Going to sleep at the same time every day to get max growth hormone release. The first large growth hormone spike comes 45 minutes after your usual drop-off time. After that spike,there are only small spikes thru the nite. For correct pressures on nternal organs, sleep on your left side. Tell yourself that any pressing problems can only be solved next day. Rotate your eyeballs towards the top of your skull, and be conscious of just that, and its morning. Any a or all of that is far superior to cutting down essential sat fats. Bring on the juicy T bone.
You forgot to mention to interlace your toes with your fingers while placing your tongue firmly on the roof of your mouth and counting to 100,000 by prime numbers and their exponentials.
I'll have a T-bone with you but just relieving people from pressure of their day must have a far greater effect on their well-being than many other suggestions.
I agree. The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine has been publishing since 1970. It's founder and editor is Dr. Abram Hoffer, who was recently awarded a prestigious prize (and $125,000) for his work in nutritional science.
Dr. Hoffer began his career as a biochemist working for the cereal food industry at a time when it began stripping flours of their nutritional components. He was rebuffed in attempting to alert the industry to the dangers of these "refined" flours because he wasn't a doctor. So he became a doctor.
Along with his medical practice, Dr. Hoffer continued his research on nutritional components of health. Working closely with Dr. Linus Pauling on Vitamin C research, he also discovered that schizophrenic patients were helped greatly by mega-vitamin therapy. He then became a psychiatrist, and for over 15 years was head of psychiatric research for a provincial government in Canada, where he conducted further research on mega-vitamin (orthomolecular) therapy, assisting thousands of people who were not helped by regular medicine.
Dr. Hoffer then began to assist people with a wide array of illnesses, not just mental illness, to become well, and even vigorous. I am one of them. I learned of Dr. Hoffer two years ago from a magazine article, and made an appointment with him. He retired from his medical practice two years ago (at the age of 88) and now operates a nutritional consulting practice.
One hour-long appointment with him changed my health, and my life. I had suffered a myriad of health problems for over 7 years following a massive systemic infection caused by dental work. I went to many doctors, and dentists, all to little avail. After getting my history and current health situation, Dr. Hoffer gave me four simple instructions: eliminate dairy and sugar, take 500 mg of niacin three times a day (not the flush-free kind), and 6-8 grams of Vit. C (read his books). In a month my health blossomed. I am healthier now than I've ever been.
Why would anyone in their right mind trust any type of experiment done on animals to be applied to humans. I am not an animal, my body makeup is different. Animal testing is archaic,barbaric,inconclusive and unessessary, not to mention cruel. I will never forget the drug Thanidomide from the 50's tested on pregnant rats with no side effects then given to pregnant women. The result, thousands of babies born with no limbs. I rest my case.
Why? Simply because there is similarities. Actually, the human is an animal too. We have difference with mice, like mice have difference with dogs, etc. So simply, that is why. Can we trust ALL of the experiments? No. Is doing this could help us find things that can be applied to us? Yes.
I'm glad there were several comments/questions about the the kinds fats; after all not all fats are equal. Fat from raw milk products are fundamentally different from most other fats sold for consumption. Ditto for virgin coconut oil. Animal fats must vary greatly depending on the animals' food sources.
IMHO the study is worthless; I say "pass the butter".
