Thyroid Epidemic

According to more than one medical researchers, we have an epidemic of thyroid problems that affect our population in America to day, most often low thyroid or hypothyroidism.  Extensive studies by Dr. Broda Barnes, M.D. showed low thyroid affecting 40% of our population.  More recent studies show that this thyroid problem is increasing rather rapidly, and some think it now affects as much as 70% of Americans today!

Co-Enzyme Q 10, also known as CoQ10, ubiquinone or Vitamin Q,  is found in all cells of the body, and is vital in providing cell energy.  The role it plays is helping to transform fats and sugars into energy on a cellular level, which can boost your health in many ways.  On the contrary, when your CoQ10 levels are low, all sorts of basic functions of the cells may begin to diminish.  The name ubiquinone comes from "ubiquitous", which means found everywhere, and so is a very appropriate name.  It is found in higher concentrations in the heart and the brain and kidneys.  It is also one of the most potent antioxidants known.

Many people think that flu vaccines are good for you and will protect you from getting the flu or from getting such a bad case of it.  Regardless of what the level of protection actually is from getting a flu shot, there are dangerous ingredients included in the vaccines, including the one for the swine flu or the H1N1 virus.  Besides toxins like squalene and thimerosal, a key ingredient in vaccines for the flu is the "diseased flesh of African Green Monkeys."  Yes, ingredients in the vaccine come from the kidneys of these monkeys, who have been injected with the virus so as to deliberately make them sick with the flu so the virus can be incubated in their kidneys.  Then they are killed so the virus can be harvested from their kidneys and used in the vaccine.  Hmm, perhaps you may want to explore other options to protect yourself from the flu.  What are some of the top ways?

Keep Yourself Healthy and Boost Your Immune Function Now!

Eating right and getting enough sleep, along with washing your hands frequently and staying away from infected people is of course always good advice.  We want to stress the eating right part by mentioning that not only should you try to eat nutrient dense whole foods, but stay away from refined sugar.  Did you know that for up to 5 hours after you eat refined sugar, your immune system will be depressed?  This means that if you (or your children) are eating sugary foods at breakfast, lunch and dinner, your immune system will be depressed all day long!!!  That is inviting disaster, in our opinion!

In addition to eating right and staying away from refined sugar, certain vitamins, minerals, and herbs are known to boost the immune system function.  Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D, vitamin C and vitamin B complex, zinc and selenium, taking whole food supplements if needed.  Probiotics can also help boost your immune function, as they gobble up bad bugs that make it to your intestines. A couple other powerful anti-virals include garlic, onions, ginger, olive leaf extract and oregano oil.  If you buy these in supplement form, make sure and get one that is powerful and potent, like the Quantum Rx Immune Complex.  Potency can vary by as much as 900 fold, and  many of the supplements out there are simply made with cheap ingredients and are just not going to be powerful enough to wipe out a bad virus.  Let the buyer beware.

Vitamin D Deficiency Almost Doubles
Your Risk of Heart Disease!

If you are diabetic, it is more important than ever the make sure that you are are getting enough Vitamin D - either from the sun, from your diet, or from a supplement.  Researchers have found that when you are diabetic and your vitamin D levels are low, your body can’t process cholesterol normally.  This makes it more likely to build up in your arteries, causing a greater risk of both heart attacks and of strokes.

Even if you are not diabetic, getting enough vitamin D still lowers your risk of heart disease.  In fact, vitamin D levels are also closely linked to our body’s ability to fight off cancer and illnesses like the common cold and the flu.  Some health care practitioners including Dr. Mercola think that getting your vitamin D levels up to the 50-65 level is better protection than a flu shot, without the side effects that the flu shots have!  Dr. Mercola also recommends taking 35-40 IU of Vitamin D per pound of body weight, per day, when you are not exposed to the sun.  That’s around 5000 IUs for a lot of us adults.

When is the last time your doctor checked your vitamin D levels?

Farmer creates free energy power plant!

ROCKWOOD, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Four generations of Saylors have worked the family's dairy farm for nearly a century, but for the past three years, the cows have been doing something besides providing milk: They've been helping power the place.
Growing up on the sprawling spread 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, 36-year-old farmer Shawn Saylor developed into a self-described science buff.

So it was no surprise that, when faced with rising energy costs, Saylor turned to technology.

Eat Fat, Lose Weight?
Virgin Organic Coconut Oil & Weight Loss

Many Say When They Added Coconut Oil To Their Diet, Their Energy Went Up and Their Weight Down!

Virgin coconut oil is high in lauric acid, which is a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA).  These MCFAs have been shown in studies to increase metabolism.  That's good news if you are one of the 2 out of 3 Americans who are overweight.  As you may already know, when your metabolism goes up, you burn more calories, even if you don't exercise.

Around 50% of the fat in virgin coconut oil is one of those medium-chain fatty acids, lauric acid.  Studies have shown that the amount of energy your body uses to metabolize these MCFAs is more than the energy provided by the MCFAs.  In other words, you will burn more calories than are contained in coconut oil just by your body digesting, or metabolizing the oil.  In fact, according to many scientists, lauric acid is more quickly metabolized than any other fatty acid.   Plus, virgin coconut oil appears to raise your body temperature (it has a thermogenic effect).  This seems to help boost energy as well as metabolism, which may be why virgin coconut oil seems to be so helpful if you have an under-performing thyroid.

Antioxidants  - Helpful or Hurtful?

There was a recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that concluded that taking antioxidants actually increased your risk of death, instead of making you healthier. This was reported in the Washington Post, without proper explanation of the JAMA article and its conclusions. It is true that studies, including the ones that JAMA referred to, show that antioxidants do NOT help users live longer. However, what was not pointed out by the Washington Post is that theses studies all used synthetic vitamin A and E, not natural sources.

Our virgin coconut oil is made by mechanically pressing  the chopped and warm air dried coconut  meat straight after the coconuts  are opened and dried, thus avoiding  processing which destroys or alters  the natural components. It is NOT  refined, bleached or deodorized  (RBD) NOR hydrogenated NOR altered  by fermentation. This pure virgin  oil retains the healthy properties  of coconuts including the medium  chain fatty acids and averages 50%  of the highly beneficial lauric  acid.

Many people have reported that coconut oil can help you to:

• Lose weight more easily and keep that  weight from coming back
• Increase your energy
• Rev up your metabolism
• Promote healthy thyroid function
