Flaxseed Oil: to be taken with care !
Bird Flu: a pandemic scam ?
It seems a fashionable substance to treat joint pain,
arthritis, constipation and many other ailments.
People following the present Flaxseed-Hype are not
aware that flaxseed contains traces of cyano-glycoside
linamarin and immature seeds grown in warm
climates have high concentrations of this substance
(related to cyanide). As you don’t know where exactly
the seeds are grown from which the oil is made,
flaxseed oil has to be taken with care, and certainly
not for a prolonged period of time.
If flaxseed oil is taken continuously, Cyano-glycosides
may cause an increased respiratory rate, excitement,
gasping, staggering, weakness, paralysis and
convulsion.
The latest bird-flu hoax seems to generate billions of
dollars for some pharmaceutical companies.
Government of a country (I am not naming it) spreads
fear by publicizing that, if the avian flu pandemic
reaches this country, maybe 200.000 people will die,
but even 2 million deaths could be expected.
That is step one. Step two follows by the
pharmaceutical giant Gilead manufacturing 20 million
doses of ‘Tamiflu’, a vaccine that hasn’t been tested
yet, - but it will generate 2 billion Dollars in profits

Mango, the happy fruit
Mango contains loads of vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, C and
E. As the sugar content of Mango is very low (between
0.1 and 0.5%) it is the ideal fruit for diabetics. Its high
content of iron builds blood and helps people suffering
from anaemia. High levels of magnesium and
potassium relax muscles and counters any overacidity in the body. Potassium strengthens the heart
muscle and is the ideal fruit for people with heart
problems.
Mango elevates the mood and is called the ‘happiness
fruit’. Besides many other enzymes in the mango, the
Tryptophan transforms in the brain into Serotonin,
which is called the happiness hormone. The high
content (13.5%) of L-Glutamine is a wonderful brain
nourishment and is important for concentration and
memory. Further it contains L-Arginine, Asparagine,
Histidine, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Phenylalaline,
Proline, L-Threonine, Tyrosine and L-Valine. All these
are great anti-stress amino acids.
In India the Mango is regarded as a symbol of divine
and unconditional love. 4000 B.C. Buddha praised
the mango tree because of its longevity, when he
rested in his shadow. Especially mango blossoms
have a holy meaning, they symbolise abundance and
divine sweetness.
If not available fresh, use dried mangos and soak
them overnight in water.
Neurological, learning and behavioural problems
are on the increase. Symptoms like headaches,
migraines, low blood pressure, blood sugar rollercoaster, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis
Autism and ADHD have been linked to an elevated
level of antibodies to wheat. Eliminating or at least
reducing wheat products from the diet reduces wheat
antibodies and alleviates all symptoms.
Dr. O’Brian, Clinical Nutritionist.
It’s the things in life you
don’t do that you regret
the most!
On what basis has this bird-flu been declared as a
probable pandemic (meaning spreading over the
whole globe)?
In Asia, where it has been discovered, there are
approx. 3 billion people living, and so far 60 have died
by contracting this avian-flu, and these 60 people
were workers handling poultry every day. So the
chance, that you get the bird-flu is 1 : 6,000,000,000.
Media, fuelled by vested interests, are capable of
creating a worldwide scare, which, in the end
dissolves into thin air, but meanwhile the scam has
worked and some billions of Dollars have been reaped
in profits by manufacturing and selling vaccines.
Here some facts:
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) asked the
vaccine laboratories to guarantee that vaccines are
safe and effective. The lab’s reply was: “All vaccines
are highly toxic and cannot be made safe. They are
often unstable and cannot be depended upon to
prevent or cure diseases; therefore, they cannot be
guaranteed, either for safety or effectiveness.”
And another fact:
U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfield, former
Chairman of Gilead Laboratories, is still a major
shareholder.
Amazing:
An epidemic of whooping cough swept the
Netherlands in November 1997, after the Dutch
government had proudly announced that 96% of the
Dutch population had been vaccinated against this
particular flu virus prior to its arrival.

Mercury as stabilizer in vaccines
It is important to appreciate that mercury is a fat
soluble metal. That is, it is stored in the body's fat.
The brain contains 60 percent fat and therefore is a
common site for mercury storage.
Even so, a significant proportion of the mercury will
enter the brain (it has been shown to easily pass
through the blood-brain barrier) where it is stored in
the phospholipids (fats). With each new dose -remember children are receiving as many as 22 doses
of mercury stabilized vaccines -- another increment is
added to the brain storage depot. Mercury is
cumulative and poisons the brain.
Pineapple fights cancer
Fruit salad
While analyzing bromelain, an extract of crushed
pineapple, researchers found that two molecules
isolated from the extract showed promise in fighting
cancer growth:
One molecule, known as CCS, blocks a protein called
Ras, which is defective in approximately 30 percent of
all cancers. The other, called CCZ, stimulates the
body's own immune system to target and destroy
cancer cells.
Researchers discovered these two molecules work
simultaneously to block the growth of a broad range of
tumor cells including breast, lung, colon, ovarian and
melanoma.
And while CCS and CCZ are protease enzymes (usually
associated with breaking down proteins, as in the
digestive process, the above findings distinguish the
molecules as a new way of treating disease and
potentially a whole new class of anti-cancer agents.
What's more, bromelain, a rich source of enzymes,
has also been found to modulate immunological
responses and has been proposed to be of clinical use.
A simple experiment will show what fruit salad will do
in your digestive tract. When In the peak of summer
the outside temperature is 37oC and it’s humid, place
a dish with fruit salad outside and next to it a dish with
cutup mango or pawpaw or any other fruit, but only
one type of fruit. After about 2 hours you will notice
that fruit salad starts fermenting, the cutup fruit just
dehydrates and wilts. Same will happen in your
intestines, which have the same condition, 37oC and
humid. The fruit salad will start to ferment, which will
mean bloated, toxins, fungi and even alcohol, but not
a good quality one. So eating mixed fruit is of no
benefit. Eat one type of fruit at a time, as much as you
like, but do not mix fruit.

Potential side effects of PROVERA
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (Progestin).
Progestins or Progestons have nothing in common
with
Natural
Progesterone.
Whilst
Natural
Progesterone has got no negative side effects as in its
molecular structure it is identical to the one made by
the human body (hence ‘natural’), synthetically
manufactured Progestins and Progestons, like in
Provera, have an array of listed warnings,
contraindications,
precautions
and
adverse
redactions, which are uncharacteristic of Natural
Progesterone.
Possible negative side effects of Progestins (Provera):
Fluid retention, weight gain, depression, migraine,
asthma, cardiac or renal dysfunction, breakthrough
bleeding or menstrual irregularities, epilepsy.
If used for a prolonged period of time it may have
effects on pituitary gland, ovaries and adrenal glands
as well as on liver and uterus. It can lead to acne,
alopecia (hair loss), hirsutism, cervical erosions,
insomnia, thrombophlebitis and pulmonary embolism.

Communication error
A male patient, with an oxygen mask over nose
and mouth, mumbles to the pretty nurse: “Are my
testicles black?” The nurse embarrassed: “I don’t
know”. The man mumbles again through his
mask: “Are my testicles black?”
The nurse finally lifts his gown and holds his
private part with the one hand, whilst with the
other hand she wiggles the testicles. She replies:
“No, they are not black”.
Now the man takes off his mask and mumbles:
“That’s very nice, but now listen very carefully,
are… my… test…results…back?”
Chocolate prevents cardiovascular disease
The chemicals known as flavanols, which are found in
chocolate as well as in fruits and vegetables, can
reverse smoking-related damage to blood vessels by
boosting the levels of nitric oxide in the blood. This
raises the possibility of a potential new treatment for
cardiovascular disease.
Those who drank cocoa containing as much as 185
mgs of flavanols experienced significant increases in
circulating nitric oxide and flow-mediated dilation -- a
definite improvement in function. Moreover, the
benefits disappeared when patients were given a drug
that interferes with nitric oxide signaling.
Improved Blood Vessel Response
Researchers compared the effect of flavanols on a
dozen smokers participating in a double-blind study.
Half were given a cocoa drink rich in flavanols, and the
rest had a drink that tasted the same but had far
fewer flavanols.
The study, however, was designed specifically to
identify the active ingredients, so the cocoa drink used
was specially processed to retain much higher levels
of flavanols than are typically found in commerciallyavailable cocoa drinks.
Smokers Chosen to Test Cardiovascular Benefits
Smokers were chosen for the study because their
blood vessels tend to respond poorly to changes in
blood flow, possibly related to impairments in how
nitric oxide sends signals to the inner lining (the
endothelium) of blood vessels, which is in turn a
warning sign for cardiovascular disease.
The study was not designed to find out whether
flavanols could specifically protect smokers, but rather
to investigate the effects of cardiovascular disease in
