The Chinese have used Star Anise, the spicy and sweet fruit from the "Indian Almond" tree, for centuries to cure flu-like symptoms. They believe that Star Anise helps to cure the Middle Jiao, the midsection of the body. If there is something wrong with the Middle Jiao, your body will have a fever, chills and nausea. Anise helps to balance out the Middle Jiao, relieving these symptoms and restoring your body to a healthy state.

Piers Morgan receives flu vaccine injection from Dr. Oz, then gets sick (NaturalNews) In a recent publicity stunt gone terribly but humorously wrong, Piers Morgan, the infamous CNN personality and British journalist whose unconstitutional views on gun control have sparked petitions for his deportation, agreed to take his first ever flu shot during a live taping of The Dr. Oz Show that aired on January 11, 2013. But just 10 days later, Morgan, who promised to "go after" Oz if he developed the flu following the shot, ironically came down with flu-like symptoms that all but debilitated him from hosting his own Piers Morgan Tonight show.  

Gatorade Removing Controversial Ingredient But Denies It's Because Of Teen's Campaign Consumerist - A few weeks after a 15-year-old started an online petition to tell Gatorade to get rid of brominated vegetable oil, an ingredient linked to flame retardants, its parent company PepsiCo says it's pulling the controversial ingredient from the sports drink. But not because of that petition, says the company. Nope, because of everyone else who was complaining.

Warning: Many childhood vaccines contain aborted human fetal protein, DNA (NaturalNews) The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a non-profit vaccine safety group, recently conducted an independent review of the contents of childhood vaccines and found that many of them are tainted with ingredients that would shock most parents. According to the manufacturer-produced package inserts included with each vaccine batch, many vaccines are made with disturbing ingredients like aborted human fetal proteins, altered DNA material, and even genetically-modified (GM) human albumin.

You May Be Suffering From A Stress Response Illness Part 5 of 5 - Serotonin



Serotonin is important for awareness and alertness.  But over time the excess Serotonin can have a detrimental effect.  It is associated with stress response, hyper vigilance, hyper alertness, hyper awareness, fear and anxiety.   Before taking an SSRI do your research.  High blood pressure, blood clotting, fibroids, muscle breakdown, hypo thyroidism, pro-aging, degeneration are a few of the problems resulting from excessive Serotonin.  Long term use of Serotonin can result in the calcification of tissue, thickening of blood vessels, thickening of glands all of which can have a negative effect on organ performance and health.  See the works of Hans Selye.

 Older people have higher levels of Cortisol than younger ones over time.  Cortisol is another stress hormone.  Like Cortisol, levels of Serotonin also increase as we get older especially in the brain.  Not only is Serotonin associated with causing breakdown but breakdowns can lead to Serotonin increases.  Anything that causes breakdown will lead to increases in Serotonin levels.  The proverbial "Vicious Circle".  Exposure to Cortisol increases will dumb down the Serotonin response, cells will stop listening to Serotonin as a result more Serotonin will be produced, the so called Serotonin Resistance Syndrome.  The message is, you want to eliminate anything that is putting stress on the Serotonin System including SSRI drugs. 

Serotonin has a fascinating relationship to Sunlight.  Serotonin was first created in bacteria, algae and plankton.    These fundamental life forms were dependent on the Sunlight for their existence.  Over time Serotonin became an important component of plant and animal cells.  The relationship of Serotonin to Sunlight was always maintained.  Like cholesterol which is activated by light to form building substances, Serotonin uses solar energy.  Even DNA responds to solar energy.  The fear of being out in the Sun is biochemically ignorant and not founded on fact.  Light absorbing chemicals play a major role in our health.  Serotonin is just such a chemical as is its main building block protein, Tryptophan just like Cholesterol is required for the manufacture of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is a type of Cholesterol.  Serotonin is a type of Tryptophan.  One of the best ways to naturally support the Serotonin System is to make sure that you are getting enough Tryptophan and to supplement with 5 HTP.  Serotonin is a type of 5 HTP.  You can buy it at a health food store.  This is perhaps one way to avoid taking a poisonous pharmaceutical drug while supporting the body's natural processes.  5 HTP is non-toxic.  Where as Serotonin will not cross the Blood / Brain Barrier 5 HTP will.  Proteins, Amino Acids, Tryptophan and 5 HTP can be used to build Serotonin.  This is why Protein is so important for brain health.  See Dr. Eric Braverman's work especially, "The Edge Effect".

Tryptophan is stored in the skin.  It can absorb Sunlight Ultraviolet Light.  It can protect the skin from Sun burn, skin Cancer and the aging affects of the Sun.  It also protect the skin from dark spots called hyperpigmentation.  This may come from the Sun or from Cortisol or Estrogen.  The technical term is Malasma.  One of the best ways to protect your skin from Malasma is to take 5 HTP or Tryptophan containing foods.  Tryptophan also protects the skin from wrinkles.  It was found that pre.dosing cells with Tryptophan protected them from Ultraviolet radiation.  Tryptophan has also been found to reduce the formation of Cataracts.  These study results can be found in the following references: The Journal of "Photochemistry and Photobiology", January, 2008 and the "Journal Opthalmalogica", March, 2003. 

Tryptophan a biochemical similar to Serotonin is important for the protection of the eyes, the skin, the DNA, the Brain, It is an essential Amino Acid which means it must be part of your diet.  Tryptophan absorbs and emits light.

Partner With World Health Team and Help Make the World Healthier




I very much subscribe to that quote by Voltaire that says, "I have decided to be happy because it is good for my health".  What makes you happy?  Or put another way what makes you healthy?  My family and I started World Health Team because we want to be healthy and we presume that other want the same.

Thanks to Youngevity and Kyani we found that there was a line of products which addressed our health needs and offered us a chance to run our family business.  We were able to meet all of our needs in one synergistic step.  Health, work, information and fun.  But better than that was the numbers and business model made sense.  Where else could we buy a business "off the shelf" that already had the products, manufacturing and distribution already in place.  Not only that but the training, scientific research and documentation and marketing were in place for us.  Finally, the cash rewards were easy to see plus the payment mechanisms were in place.  In other words all we had to do was let people know about it.

From a marketing stand point we discovered that we were looking at a $1 Trillion industry.  Surely there was space for a little company like ours.  Not only were the dollars or Euros there but as the population became sicker and as people became aware that the established mainstream medical model was not working a steady stream of clients beat a path to our doors in the hopes of preserving their health and hopefully avoiding the many medical traps being offered.

Now we wish to offer you the very same opportunity.  Not only are we offering you the excellent products from Kyani and Youngevity but for those of you needing self employment or owning their own business you can start you own health business.  The best part is that the out of pocket investment is ridiculously cheap.

Have You Heard About BPA? What About BPS?

Root Beer Belly by Youngevity (Probiotics)

 

 

The latest problem with Estrogenic Plastics is BPS.  Read about it below from Dr. Mercola.com

 

BPA-Free Products Still Contain Bisphenols of Equal Toxicity

June 20, 2012 | 40,715 views | + Add to Favorites
By Dr. Mercola
Just when you thought you'd learned everything there was to learn about how to avoid bisphenol-A (BPA), the endocrine-disrupting plastics chemical, new research shows that there's more hormone-disrupting bisphenols around you than you probably thought.
In answer to consumers' demands to drop BPA from products, many manufacturers have simply switched to using a different—but equally toxic and perhaps even more toxic—chemical called bisphenol-S (BPS).

It May be BPA-Free, But What About BPS?

BPA, an estrogenic plastic by-product used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastics, can leach into food or drinks from the plastic containers holding them. BPA has been identified as an estrogen-mimicking compound since the 1930s, and is known to be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, infants and children. In fact, in the early 1930s BPA was used as an artificial estrogen to not only fatten poultry and cattle, but as a form of estrogen replacement therapy for women of the times. It was only in the 1940s that Bayer and General Electric used BPA to harden polycarbonate plastics and make epoxy resin.
It has since become one of the world's highest production volume chemicals and has been widely reported in the media as being a suspected disruptor of your body's hormones.
Canada, in September 2010, declared BPA as a toxic substance, but to date no other country has followed suit, although BPA has been banned in baby bottles in Europe and the US. As a result of the widespread consumer backlash, however, many companies have rolled out "BPA-free" plastic products, ranging from bottles and sippy cups to reusable water bottles, meant to appeal to those health-conscious consumers looking to avoid toxins.
Unfortunately, this may be just a ruse, as studies now show another bisphenol, bisphenol-S (BPS), is now showing up in human urine concentrations at levels similar to those of BPA.i This suggests that many manufacturers are simply swapping one bisphenol for another.

BPS May be Less Known, But That Doesn't Make it Less Toxic

Similar to the way food manufacturers label a bag of gummy bears as "fat-free," implying it's good for you while staying silent about the massive amounts of sugar they contain, plastics manufacturers can legally make it appear their products are safe by labeling them BPA-free, even though they may contain BPS, or another similar toxic chemical, that they don't mention. More corporate lies of omission that can and do hurt your health.
In the case of BPS, there's reason to believe it is just as dangerous to human health, and possibly more so, than BPA, although the research is not nearly as abundant just yet. Writing in the journal Toxicology In Vitro, researchers stated:ii
"In 2011, the European Commission has restricted the use of Bisphenol A in plastic infant feeding bottles. In a response to this restriction, Bisphenol S is now often used as a component of plastic substitutes for the production of babybottles. One of the major concerns leading to the restriction of Bisphenol A was its weak estrogenic activity. By using two highly standardised transactivation assays, we could demonstrate that the estrogenic activity of Bisphenol A and Bisphenol S is of a comparable potency."
Not only does BPS appear to have similar hormone-mimicking characteristics to BPA, but research suggests it is actually significantly less biodegradable, and more heat-stable and photo-resistant, than BPA. GreenMedInfo reports:
"... while regulators wait for manufacturers who promote their products with "BPA-Free!" stickers at the same moment that they infuse them with BPS to voluntarily reformulate,there isevidence now that BPS may actually have worse effects to environmental and human health, alike..
"... BPS' relative inability to biodegrade indicates: 1) once it is absorbed into the human body, it may accumulate there for longer periods of time. 2) it is more likely to persist in the environment, making external exposures to it, and its many metabolites, much more likely than the faster degrading BPA. In other words, its potential to do harm will worsen along the axis of time, not lessen, which is a common argument made for the purported "safety" of BPA."

Just How Many Chemicals are Lurking in Your BPA-Free Plastic?

You would think labeling a product "BPA-Free" would be some measure of protection against ingesting toxic plastic by-products, but it turns out that tests on plastics using this label have not been conducted under real-world conditions like running the plastics through a dishwasher or heating them in a microwave.
In a study meant to simulate "real-world" use, 95 percent of all plastic products tested positive for estrogenic activity, meaning they can still disrupt your hormones even if they carry a BPA-free label. Even more disconcerting is the finding that BPA-free plastics in some cases leached more BPA than the non-BPA free plastics.iii
In some cases, instead of actually removing BPA from their products, manufacturers are only taking out a percentage of it, which means we're still being exposed to it, only now in undisclosed amounts. The truth is there's an alphabet soup of toxic chemicals in almost everything you come in contact with, from plastics to PVC water lines to canned goods, which are lined with BPA-containing plastic. Thermal receipt paper, all world paper currency and those sealants your dentists want to put on your and your children's teeth also are primary sources of BPA exposure.
But again, BPA is not the only culprit; it's simply the most highly publicized one. There's also Bisphenol AB and AF, Bisphenol B and BP, Bisphenol C, Bisphenol E, F, G, M, S, P, PH, TMC and, yes, there's even a Bisphenol Z. Any one of these can be in your BPA-free baby bottle or sippy cup, unfortunately.

Who's Minding the "BPA-Free" Store?

Now that BPA-free products are beginning to flood the market, you may be interested to know that we actually know relatively little about what's really in these new plastics, and what little we do know comes right from the manufacturers. The Atlantic reported:iv
" ... because the U.S. system of regulating chemicals relies primarily on information supplied by a material's manufacturer, we know relatively little about these new plastics.
"... Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the U.S. law that regulates chemicals in commerce, it's entirely permissible to launch a new material into high-volume production without disclosing its precise chemical identity or any information about its toxicity. This makes it impossible for the public to assess product safety independently of manufacturer claims. And currently, despite EPA and FDA policies that support "safe" alternatives to a chemical of concern like BPA, neither federal agency conducts safety testing of new materials destined for consumer products before they come on the market."
So it's very much an anything goes attitude when it comes to the chemicals used in countless consumer products. Until the system changes – if the system changes – your safest bet is to avoid plastic products as much as possible.

Glass is One of the Best Alternatives

If you're interested in avoiding any number of chemical toxins leaching into your food and beverages, choose glass over plastic, especially when it comes to products that will come into contact with food or beverages, or those intended for pregnant women, infants and children. This applies to canned goods as well, which are a major source of BPA (and possibly other chemicals) exposure, so whenever you can, choose jarred goods over canned goods, or opt for fresh instead. Another good idea is to ditch plastic teething toys for your little ones and choose natural wood or fabric varieties instead.
To be fair, you probably can no longer completely eliminate your exposure to BPA, BPS and similar toxins (since they're likely in our air, water, and food, too) but you can certainly reduce your exposure dramatically by making informed choices like those described above.

The Danger of NSAIDs

NSAIDs, such as Advil, Motrin, Naprosyn, Aleve and ibuprofen, are taken like candy in America and much of the rest of the world as well.  Yet few people realize how incredibly dangerous these drugs can be.  It is no exaggeration to say that they are dangerous and can kill both you and your sex life.
What is particularly tragic about NSAIDs is that they are so universally accepted in our (American at least) society.  Every supermarket and drugstore has almost an entire shelf filled with different preparations of these drugs.  How could something be bad that is common, right?
Furthermore, it is well-known that many athletes take NSAIDs as if they were vitamins to supposedly help with healing, soreness and recovery.  In fact, NBA players Alonzo Mourning and Sean Eliot, are even mentioned in one Medscape article [1], because they suffered the beginnings of renal failure due to their significant NSAID consumption during the season. The damage was so severe that they required a kidney replacement.  (NOTE:  Athletes should also read the above Medscape article for information regarding how NSAIDs are known for actually slowing recovery and other athletes that have suffered damage.)
These athletes are generally taking full dosages for extended periods of time.  However, below I have listed three ways that NSAIDs can cause you major damage or even kill you with much smaller dosages:
Do you know the foods and drinks that increase erection-boosting Nitric Oxide? Check out the Peak Erectile Strength Diet where I show you how to dramatically and naturally improve your erectile strength.
1.  Erectile Dysfunction.  One 2006 study found that men using NSAIDs had almost double to rate of erectile dysfunction compared to those who were not. [2] Erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of these drugs and you should warn your woman as well:  they can affect her libido and sexual function just as much.
2.  Stroke.  Stroke has long been suspected as a possible side effect of NSAID use and a recent Taiwanese study verified this forcefully.  They studied all the common NSAIDs and found that almost all of them increased the risk of stroke by 20-90 percent. [3]  One NSAID was even found to more than double the risk!  And, by the way, NSAIDs increased the risk both for the common kind of stroke, ischemic, that destroys a part of the brain and can leave one partially paralyzed, and the less common kind, hemmorhagic, which results in nasty bleeding on the brain.  The latter can even result in an excruciating aneurysm.
3.  GI Bleeds and Stomach Ulcers.  Many studies have documented the fact that ulcers are a common side effect of NSAID use.  These drugs are extemely hard on the GI tract.  In fact, I have one close relative who had a duodenal ulcer, which allowed fecal matter into the abdominal cavity resulting in the beginnings of septic shock, very likely resulting from consistent NSAID use. Researchers have recently documented multiple pathways to GI damage. [4]
Once again, this is an example where the cure is often much worse than the disease.

The Gluten Free Craze






There is more wrong with wheat and grains than Gluten.  Grains in general represents a massive attack on the gut of man.  Gluten is not the only problem.  If you think eating Gluten Free will prevent you from being chronically ill then you had better begin studying biochemistry.  Everyone is talking about Gluten as if it is some "bad guy" the elimination of which will solve all your health problems.  False.  Grains are particularly nasty and can harm you in many other ways than just gluten.  We attempt to shed light on the latest food craze.

By placing "Gluten Free" on their products manufacturers can continue using the other items in their products that are so dangerous like GMO"s, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, additives, etc.  If you eat these things you will die.  So while Gluten is no pic nic don't be fooled into thinking that by going Gluten Free you are safe

By grains we are specifically talking about Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats.  In addition there plants that mimic grains which should be avoided by certain individuals.

The Egyptians were the first to develop the concept of farming wheat, storing it and then using it during times of famine and drought.  Later on companies learned to make money from the need for grains and they distributed it widely.

The problem was, however, that rather than the grain itself its the protein in the grain that is the problem.  The protein in the grain is referred to as Gluten.  Gluten is very difficult for the body to digest.  Conservative estimates are that 60% of Caucasians and 80% of people of African decent have a huge problem digesting Gluten.  While we do not subscribe to the race theory of health as there are no pure races left on Earth the reader can interpret this published data as they wish.  The point being that most people can not digest Gluten.

All proteins are chains of Amino Acids held together by chemical bonds.  There are 12 essential Amino Acids.  "Essential" means that the body does not make it and it must be brought in from outside into the body.  The chemical bonds are "broken" in the Stomach and the body can now absorb the Amino Acids easily.  The stomach if it is healthy contains strong acid which is important to break the chemical bonds.  The PH of a healthy Stomach acid is about 1.4.  The stomach has developed a lining that is not affected by the acid.  

From the Stomach the food passes into the small intestines where all of the absorption of the food takes place through the Villi.  The Villi are millions of tentacles.  On top of the Villi there are thousands of micro villi.  In other words in the intestinal tract there are billions of tissue which were designed to absorb nutrients.  It is the job of the villi to stick on to a molecule of food and put it into the blood stream.  

In the case of Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats the chemical bonds are very difficult to digest.  An undigested protein in the digestive tract not only can not be digested but it causes damage to the Villi.   As a result the Villi become blunted and can not absorb other nutrition which are also important. 

Protein in the grain = Gluten
Protein = Lot's of Amino Acids chained together
Amino Acids are = essential. 


Absolutely Avoid


  • Wheat, rye, barley, Oats
    These are the major gluten grains, responsible for many dietary problems.
     
  • Beer, pasta, bread
    Unless made from rice, nuts, coconut, or a gluten-free grain. 
  • Gluten-based Additives
    • Fu  -- dried wheat gluten
    • HPP -- hydrolyzed plant protein
    • HVP -- hydrolyzed vegetable protein
    • MSG -- monosodium glutamate
    • TPP -- textured plant protein
    • TVP -- textured vegetable protein
       
  • Ingredients of Unknown Origin
    Manufacturers make these from whatever is cheap. Most often, that's wheat.
    • Vegetable starch
    • Food starch
    • Modified food starch
    • Natural flavors

Conditionally Avoid


  • Oats
    (If you haven't become gluten senstive, or have desensitized yourself over a period of time by avoiding gluten-based ingredients, you may find that you can tolerate oats fairly well. They haven't proven to be completely safe, however, so be gentle. They don't contain gliadin, but they do contain glutenen and other gluten proteins.)
     
  • "Mimic" Grains
    These grains do not contain gluten. But the reactions they cause haven't been studied as much, either. These grains mimic gluten's effects, and should be avoided.  Once you have been gluten-free for a week or two, try them and see how you react for the next 3 days. If there are problems, you can try again in 6 months: 
    • Amaranth
    • Quinoa ("keen-wa")
    • Teff
Note, too, that by avoiding grain products and baked goods, you will be drastically reducing your exposure to the trans fats found in partially hydrogenated oils.


Good Grains and Flours

Flours made from these foods do not contain gluten, and cause no "mimicry" reactions:

  • Arrowroot
  • Buckwheat
  • Coconut
  • Corn
  • Millet
  • Nuts
  • Potato
  • Rice

Healing the Damage

If you are gluten-sensitive, the bad news is that gluten is everywhere in the American diet. But the good news is that there are many things you can do about it:

  • Avoid gluten like the plague it is. 
  
  • Be alert for food sensitivity reactions. Once intestinal function is impaired, a variety of things can cause food reactions, including acidic foods and dairy products. Eliminate foods that cause problems until your intestinal tract has healed enough to deal with them.
     
  • Grains like amaranth, quinoa, and teff may work for you, or may cause problems. Test them to see.
     
  • See how well you tolerate oats. If it causes problems, avoid it for a six months and try again. If it still causes problems, consider it a "gluten grain", as far as you're concerned.
Once gluten has been removed from your diet, there are a variety of ways to promote intestinal healing:

  • Drink Aloe Vera juice.
     
  • Take glutamine--an amino acid supplement that helps to repair intestinal damage.
     

While your intestines heal, take supplements to offset the damage and give your body the extra ammunition it needs to function effectively:

  • Natural Antihistamines (nettle, vit C, quercitin, N-acetyl cysteine, MSM)
  • Adrenal Support (B-vitamins, zinc, copper, hesperidin)
    There are also adrenal hormones you can take, like DHEA and pregnenolone. But they should be taken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. The idea is that you start with a dose that's as large as you need to compensate for impaired adrenal function, and you taper it off gradually during the 3 months or so it takes for healing to occur, so that the adrenals take over the load as they grow stronger.

    Note, too, that healthy intestinal flora create all the B-vitamins you'll ever need--way more than you can take in supplements--so find a dairy-free acidolpholus, practice intestinal cleansing, and eat fermented foods
