Must read: EPA poised to "regulate" colloidal silver off the market

The powers that be have been trying for years to ban colloidal silver
and remove it from the marketplace. Why? Because it's the perfect
natural antibiotic, and it makes virtually all drug-company
manufactured antibiotics obsolete. (Shhh! It's an underground health
secret. Don't tell anybody...)

Bacteria have no resistance to colloidal silver like they do with
standard antibiotics, and colloidal silver is dirt cheap and
incredibly safe compared to drugs (I've been saved from viral
infections more than once by drinking an entire 2 oz. bottle of
colloidal silver).

Now, the EPA has found a clever way to potentially regulate colloidal
silver out of the market: they've announced they will classify the
substance as a "nanotechnology pesticide" and force colloidal silver
companies to prove it's safe if they want to keep selling it.

But where is the EPA's scrutiny of all other nanotech particles in
foods, skin care products and drugs? Nowhere to be found, of course.
The EPA seems to be exclusively targeting colloidal silver as the only
nanotech threat to U.S. consumers, and if they pull off this stunt,
they will have finally achieved the government's longstanding goal of
eliminating the competition to lucrative antibiotic drugs.

(The government protects corporations, not the public, didn't you
know?)

NewsTarget's exclusive feature story on colloidal silver is based on
interviews with one of the top health freedom attorneys in the country
-- a man who helped defend companies against the FDA's attempts to
outlaw the substance a few years ago.

Handy Tips For Healthy Permanent Weight Loss

The key to successful healthy weight loss is to make some permanent, realistic eating and lifestyle changes.

Don’t starve yourself.

Eating small healthy meals throughout the day lessens the chance that you’ll start snacking on candy or fat-laden fillers. Try to eat five small meals per day, instead of three large ones. That way you avoid becoming too hungry and there’s less danger of you reaching for something sweet when your blood sugar levels are lower.

Anorexic

There are many ways of which to obtain weight loss and some of these techniques are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating. Some people submit themselves to starving – this is what you call anorexia. These are the people who believe that they would be happier and most successful if they were thin. Anorexia is an eating disorder that usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty, mostly for teenage girls, but it can also appear to teenage boys and adult men and women. Typically, anorexic have extreme weight loss which is usually 15% below the person’s normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight.

Eating Red Meat Raises Breast Cancer Risk?

There seems to be so much controversy with this subject. Every week, a new article comes out that contradicts the one from the week before.

According to Harvard researchers, regular consumption of red meat raises the risk of one type of breast cancer. The study was based on data from a sample of more than 90,000 women who were monitored over the course of nearly 15 years. At the conclusion of the study period, women with diets high in red meat were twice as likely to have been diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, even when other risk factors such as family history were taken into account. Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer is a particularly growing problem among middle-aged women.

What This Means for You
Researchers defined "high" red meat consumption as one and a half servings or more a day. For beef lovers, the study's authors recommended reducing red meat consumption to three servings a week or less.

Osteoporosis: A debilitating disease that can be prevented and treated.

First, let me say that I am not a Doctor. This article is based on research and watching my mother suffer with this debilitating disease. If you think you are suffering from Osteoporosis, please see a Doctor.

An estimated 10 million Americans have osteoporosis. The disease is not gender specific and can effect both men and women, although, women are 4 times more likely to develop the disease. So of the 10 million estimated to have the disease, 8 million are women and 2 million are men. 55 percent of the people were age 50 years or older. Osteoporosis is often thought of as an older person’s disease, don’t let it fool you…it can strike any age.

Osteoporosis causes the bones to become fragile and more likely to break. These breaks are referred to as fractures. They often effect the spine, hip or wrist but any bone can be effected. The fractures of the spine or hip can require hospitalization and major surgery. It can happen at any time from something as benign at lifting a laundry basket.

My mother has fractured her spine twice in a four-month period of time, while this is not typical, it can happen. To help ensure that this does not happen again, she has been told that she can not lift anything over 1 pound, ever. She is at the point where she is afraid to do anything and that is not a way to live. The doctor has also started her on Fortéo®. This medication stimulates new bone formation and significantly increases bone mineral density. Fortéo® is self-administered as a daily injection for up to 24 months. Sounds awful, but there is nothing to it. It is a tiny needle and you hardly feel a thing. Side effects can include nausea, leg cramps and dizziness. This medication is usually used for those who are at high risk for fractures. There are several medications that are now being used now to treat Osteoporosis. Again, check with your doctor for an option that is right for you.

Some of the risk factors that will determine who will develop Osteoporosis are:

Age – the older you are the higher the risk will be. The older you are the weaker and less dense your bones will be. But, keep in mind that it can strike at any age.

Gender- Remember that women are 4 times more likely to develop the disease.

Family History - Susceptibility to fracture may be, in part, hereditary. Young women whose mothers have a history of vertebral fractures also seem to have reduced bone mass.

Bone Structure and Body Weight – Small bone structure and thin women are at a greater risk.

Lifestyle - Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or consuming an inadequate amount of calcium.

These are just a few. To see the entire list please visit: www.nof.org

Calcium alone cannot prevent or cure osteoporosis, but it is an important part of an overall prevention or treatment program. We get calcium from a variety of things we eat every day. (One I didn’t realize was Broccoli.) Then of course, is fish, cheese, milk, or by adding nonfat powdered dry milk to your recipes. Be sure to start taking a calcium supplement. Since there are several different types of calcium and a variety of supplements available, you should discuss the choice of calcium with your doctor. Getting enough calcium, whether through diet or supplements, is essential to maintaining bone strength and can play a vital role in preventing osteoporosis-related fractures. Speak to a doctor or dietician about how you can get the proper amount of calcium.

If you have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis, take heart, while taking prescribed medications is very expensive, especially for those who do not have insurance to help defray the costs, using them is vital to your health. There are very few options available for those who are retired for obtaining these types of drugs without cost, but they are out there. For more information, read my article on Affordable Heath Care.

Take action now to prevent suffering with this debilitating disease. And if you are suffering with Osteoporosis, there is treatment. Check with your doctor and make a plan of action.
