Not One Ounce -- Candy At Your House by: Will Clower, Ph.D. Here come the candy canes. In our house, Santa always hung Hershey?s Kisses on the tree. Red and Green M&Ms cohabitate with the micro-Reese?s peanut butter cups in the candy dish. The holiday season is an excuse for saturating your house with sugar in all its forms. And you want to be festive. You don?t want to be a Scrooge about things. But you also know that if it makes it in the door, you will eat it. The Short Term Problem Sugar not only provides needless calories for your expanding horizons, but also destabilizes your insulin levels ? a result that can lead to overweight, obesity, and even diabetes. Remember that sugar is not the problem. Overconsumption of sugar is the problem. There is nothing wrong with sugar per se, only when you eat it as a jelly doughnut chased with a soda and a candy cane! The Long Term Problem Sugar consumption leads to more sugar consumption. Anyone with a weight problem will recog...

Top 5 Ways for an ADD Adult to Have a Happy Holiday by: Jennifer Koretsky Holidays have the potential to send an adult with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) into overload. Too many details to plan, kids to manage, and family to cope with can turn a good day into a stressful one. The following suggestion can help adults manage ADD during the holidays. 1. Know Your Own ADD and Plan Ahead to Deal with It You know yourself better than anyone, so ask yourself 'How does my ADD affect me on the holidays?' Make a list of all the things that tend to stress you out on the holidays, and make a plan to deal with them. Do you tend to say impulsive things that you later regret? Plan to take a deep breath before answering questions, so that you can think about your words before you speak them. Do hyper kids overwhelm? Plan to excuse yourself and take a brief walk when the kids are so noisy that you can't think straight. Does a family member really make you mad when s/he starts n...

Try The Patch Not The Pill by: George M Noceti Oral drugs are out! Patches are in. Actually, recent medical observations have revealed that the concept of taking oral drugs is faulty and fraught with health hazards.

Quit Smoking: Why People Do Bad Things (Even When They Know They Shouldn't) by: Jill Binder Do you do Bad Things? Even though you know you shouldn't? It's not your fault. It really isn't. You know you should stop doing it, but no matter how much you know that, and how much you try, you just can't stop! Everyone knows how to lose weight. Don't eat fattening foods. Exercise. Everyone knows how to give up smoking. Don?t light the cigarette. Yet having this knowledge just isn't enough. Sometimes even having the desire isn't enough! Time and again I hear about people who get really close to quitting smoking. They can get all the way down to one or two cigarettes a day, but just can't give up those last two. Many even make it all the way down to zero, but the cravings, oh the cravings! They are wretched, those cravings. Most will go back to smoking within the first few days. They can cut away most of the 'stuff' that keeps them glued to the ...

Welcome to the Age of Bionic Hearing! by: ARA Content (ARA) - Better. Stronger. Faster. That was the promise made by those fictional techno-doctors who used their imaginary electronic wizardry to reconstruct Jaime Sommers' character into The Bionic Woman. Fiction back in the 1970s -- today, a reality. Many of the body's functions that have been either damaged or lost can be restored with technology so advanced, it would make even those fictional doctors green with envy. For those who are baby boomers, we have two things in common. First, we probably all remember that television show! Second, we have spent the better part of our lives unwittingly destroying our hearing. Noise exposure in today's society has risen to such an intense and pervasive level that significant and permanent hearing loss by late-middle age is the rule, not the exception. Without The Bionic Woman's doctors to outfit us with a supersensitive bionic ear, what are we to do? The only solution av...

5 Great Ways to Burn More Fat Today! by: HSF Vitamins 'If you're trying to lose weight, give these 5 techniques a try. You'll melt off the pounds and feel great to boot.' Do not eat poor quality carbohydrates before bed. Poor quality carbohydrates are those that contain sugar or are highly processed. These would include most breakfast cereals, breads, snack foods, candies, and even fruits and juices.

Do some resistance training, add some muscle, and crank up that metabolism. Never let yourself get too hungry, or too stuffed. It really is all about moderation.

Dangers of Scales by: HSF Vitamins A Full Scale War 'The scale can be like a lousy personal trainer. It can be giving you bad information. In other words, do not become too dependent on this devilish, little device sitting on your bathroom floor. ' It happens every morning when you mosey out of bed, somewhere between the time you take off that robe and the instant you step into the shower. For others, it happens immediately after a workout, as soon as you peel off those sweaty clothes and stand aimlessly in your birthday suit. Then, the big moment arrives. The excitement, the tension, it all forms a giant knot in your throat. This experience is a lot like playing the roulette wheel and you know you have plenty riding on this one. Hence, the numbers that come up can spree a variety of reactions. You step onto the scale in your bathroom and peek through your fingers at the fate staring back at you. To some, you jump up and down like you just hit the jackpot. Others shri...

Do You Know Where Your Food Thermometer Is? by: News Canada (NC)-Consumers have long been advised to use food thermometers to measure the internal temperature of foods, such as meat and poultry, to verify that a safe temperature is reached and that harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 are destroyed. There are many good reasons to use a food thermometer. Food thermometers help you to: cook food to a safe temperature prevent overcooking and get the best flavour take the guesswork out of cooking During this barbecue season, remember to use an instant-read food thermometer every time you prepare beef patties. Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71?C (160?F). Insert a probe-type instant-read thermometer through the side of the beef patty until the tip reaches the centre. Fork-style temperature devices can be inserted through the top into the centre of the patty. For more information on food safety, visit the Canadian...

Tobacco - The World's #1 Killer Substance! by: Colin R. Williams TOBACCO is one of the few legal substances available in stores as a consumer product, that will kill or harm when used as intended. It is the #1 killer over-the-counter drug the world has ever seen. Why is it we believe there?s enjoyment in something that is literally killing millions of people every year. Tobacco should be classified as a crime against humanity! Believe me.. no other consumer product in the history of the world has even come close to inflicting this amount of damage on mankind. If anything else of this magnitude was to pose the same threat to life, whether it was human induced or naturally occurring ? be it war, terrorist attack, genocide, ethnic cleansing, natural disaster or disease, it would as a rule command immediate international intervention! Think about the current ?war on terror?. So why isn?t it? You would have learnt how to smoke from that very first cigarette, as you most certainl...

How To Clone The Perfect Baby by: Gerald Armstrong Sheep, Cows, pigs, mice, donkeys, mules, cats and a rare wild african wildcat. What next then? You know what?s coming next...The perfect baby. To date all the human cloning claims have been a fraud because no DNA proof has been presented. However, the Korean?s cloning experiments have opened the door wider on human cloning. President Bush can bang his head up against the wall all he wants. He can get down on his knees and pray to God for the world to outlaw cloning. He can pass all the laws he wants to ban human cloning, but there will always be people out there who will disagree with him and there will always be a little corner in the world that will allow full blown human cloning and the creation of the perfect baby. Our motto is ?Have Microscope Will Travel!? We here at Gen Cells Cures have found that the Korean?s new technique of squeezing out the DNA from the egg cell works much better than sucking out the DNA with a tiny needle. ...

Illness - What Can We Do About It? by: Ingela Berger Illness concerns everyone. How can we approach it? And what is the reason behind illness? Whether you need to stay well or get well, lifestyle changes are essential to help you win the fight against illness. The reason behind illness There is a reason behind illness. Sometimes the reason is virus or bacteria, sometimes there is a psychological or social reason. Many times it is difficult to see any reason, but often we can find the reason in our lifestyle and daily habits. How can we stay well? Our body has an inherent ability to heal itself. It's important to remember that, whatever treatment we choose when we get ill. By making changes in our lifestyle we are able to strengthen the self healing ability and minimize the reason for illness.

Christopher Reeve To Have Promoted Basement Lab by: Gerald Armstrong Chrisopher Reeve has died. But his vision of a ?Cure? has not. Mr. Reeve, who became a quadripilegic after a horse riding accident in 1995, was best known as advocate for stem cell research which promises cures for spinal cord injuries. Shortly before his death he had planned to get behind a little known biotech driven offshore By President Bush?s restrictions on stem cell research. The ?Cure? didn?t reach Christopher Reeve in time. But a cure for the paralysis that plagued the star ?and ultimately led to his death may be in the test tubes in a basement lab in a small carribean island. People all over the world are mouning the actor and activist, but the scientists at Gen Cells Cures lab were particularly saddened by the news.

Curing Lou Gehrig's Disease by: Gerald Armstrong ALS is the disease that took the life of the famed baseball player. The disease benched Lou Gehrig from the game that he loved and later took his life. Now, ALS is referred to as the Lou Gehrig?s disease. Today more than fifty years later there still is no cure for ALS. ALS is a motor neuron disease. ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The disease attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It attacks a persons muscles one at a time. Not unlike being tortured. Sadly there is no cure and no viable treatment. I am Gerald Armstrong, the owner of Gen Cells Cures. Our goal is to stamp out disease and aging . We do private research for the individual. I have been contacted by a lady to try to look for a cure for this deadly killer for her suffering and dying husband. Nothing would give me more satisfaction and pleasure. Unfortunately, I lost most of my biotech?s start- up money in an offshore bank scandel and devaluation of...

Gift of Health by: Jeanne Perciaccanto People want to get the very best they can when purchasing anything. They research all of the alternatives and select what they feel is the best suited for their needs whether a car, washer/dryer or a pet. In selecting a puppy, many follow the same protocol to determine which breed would be the best for their family. They go to the library and take out books about particular breeds. They will call their local Veterinarians and Dog Trainers to ask for suggestions or recommendations on particular aspects of a certain dog?s characteristics. They attend dog shows to meet with and speak to various breeders. This selection process many take several months until the perfect pet is found. Upon bringing their new pet home, they will then do the unthinkable, putting their dog on any dog food. Dog food, after all, is just dog food, right? Wrong, dog foods are not at all the same in quality, nutritional components and as a support to your pet?s immune system. ...

Help For Persistent Or Recurring Swelling by: Dr. Rita Louise Like the arteries, veins and capillaries that transport blood through our bodies, our bodies also contains an extensive drainage system that returns water and proteins from our tissues back to the bloodstream. Called the lymphatic system, it is part of our immune system and works to defend the body from diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. The lymphatic system has two major functions. First, it works to regulate the amount of fluids within our bodies. Secondly, it is responsible for ?taking out the trash?, that is collecting waste products, such as dead blood cells and pathogens from the interstitial fluid (the fluid that fills the spaces around cells) and filters it before returning it to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system is made up of lymph vessels that carry lymph, a protein-rich fluid that is transported through the lymph vessels, and lymph nodes which filter out germs and toxins. There are over 100 lymph ...

Don't Let Foodborne Illness Spoil Your Summer Fun by: News Canada (NC)-With the warm days of summer upon us, most of us are eager to spend time outside barbequing and picnicking with family and friends. Although outdoor summer meals can be great fun, the heat and humidity of the season can facilitate the spoilage of foods and the proliferation of harmful bacteria such as E.coli and Salmonella, which can often lead to food poisoning. According to Toronto based family physician Susan Brunt, when enjoying meals outside remember these helpful tips to make sure foodborne illness doesn't spoil your summertime fun: Start with your hands: To avoid the spread of germs, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling and preparing foods Heat things up: Use an instant-read thermometer to check if food is thoroughly cooked. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, you should cook meat to at least these internal temperatures: whole chicken and parts- 82?C-8...

No One Ever Got Fat Eating Broccoli! by: Andrew Cavanagh (AMWA) Diet tips for losing weight abound. Some are good, some questionable and some are just plain crazy. At the risk of joining the ever growing list of diet tips here is probably the most important diet key both to weight loss and and excellent health. ?No one ever got fat eating broccoli.? When you eat carbohydrates this stimulates the release of a hormone called insulin. Insulin stimulates an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase and lipoprotein lipase stimulates your body to store fat. So a meal too high in carbohydrates can put your body in fat storage mode. But it gets worse than that. Insulin also stimulates the production of a group of controlling hormones called type II or ?bad? eicosanoids. These bad eicosanoids are linked to nearly every chronic disease including heart disease, cancer, depression, asthma, hypothyroidism and erectile dysfunction just to name a few. Controlling your intake of carbohydrates is crucial to con...

The Cure by: Gerald Armstrong Gen Cells Cures will find the cure even if it means taking on President George Bush and the Vatican. The cure is definitely going to be found in stem cell research. When the first cure comes in from stem stem research it will have a domino effect as incurable diseases will soon vanish fom the world. Needlesss to say it is very unlikely that any stem cell cure will come from the good old USA. President Bush has frozen science in time dated back to four years ago. We simply are not going to wait for four more years to get started. I also just don?t like Big Brother breathing down my neck. He has nothing to offer except red tape, detours and roadblocks. Thank God there is a world outside the United States. We have packed our bags and michroscopes and gone offshore. To find the cure we have had to adopt the motto ?Have Michroscope Will Travel.? Science doesn?t have time for politics and religion to catch up. Nor does Gen Cells Cures have time for bureaucratic ...

What is the Treatment for Bipolar Disorder? by: Michael G. Rayel, MD How do we treat bipolar disorder? Specifically, how do we treat mania or depression associated with bipolar disorder? The treatment of these two clinical states is not the same. The treatment of mania is dependent upon its severity and acuity. For mild to moderate mania, mood stabilizers such as lithium and valproic acid (Valproate) are still the standard of treatment and may be sufficient to contain the symptoms. Lithium starts to work after 10 to 14 days while valproic acid, about 7 to 10 days. Also, recent studies have shown the effectiveness of atypical antipsychotics such as risperidone, olanzapine, and quetiapine even when used alone to treat the acute phase of bipolar disorder. These drugs are relatively safe but they don?t come without side effects. Nausea, vomiting, tremors, and dizziness during the initial phase of treatment are commonly experienced. The more serious side effects such as renal and thyroid pr...
