November 28 "Toxic squatters'Updated 28 November 2008 Remove the threat of Dear Friend, No one likes to think of 'smart,' drug-resistant parasitic creatures securing themselves inside their digestive tracts – and perhaps spreading to vital organs, even invading the brain with destructive results! But the fact is there’s a good chance they’re there. So take action today and discover if you’re a victim to the “plague of our times”… And learn how to treat infections – quickly, simply and effectively – without the use of liver-damaging drugs… Do you have any of the 16 symptoms of parasitic infection?
Doctors are generally only able to identify as little as 5% of all parasitic infections. So how do you find if you’re infected? The first step is to see if you can identify with any of these common symptoms:
All of these symptoms can be traced to parasitic infection. Parasites: The Plague of Our Times e-report reveals a host of time-tested methods to avoid parasitic infection ... highly accurate ways to tell whether you're currently infected... and, if needed, information on how to find fast and thoroughly effective alternative-medicine programmes to rid your body of toxic parasitic “squatters”. Uninformed South Africans lack defences against parasites A few years ago, the Chief of Pathobiology at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in America said, “We have a tremendous worldwide parasite problem – it's just not being identified”. And it's been growing since, now labelled by experts as “the plague of our times”, leaving a trail of devastation throughout the world. No one is safe from this mounting parasitic invasion. Parasites swarm into our bodies through public water systems (chlorination can't kill many of them)... through contact with our loving pets (stroking a dog or cat can be all it takes)... through children exposed to inadequate hygiene in day-care centres (one expert calls them “open sewers”)... through food in restaurants (many cooks just aren't careful enough). Or through anyone already infected who even glancingly touches our lives. In a recent case, four orthodox Jews, who shun pork, contracted hideous pork tapeworm cysts in their brains - from an infected woman with whom they came in contact. A Phoenix specialist believes the parasitic plague is universal, saying that virtually everyone he tests has some form of parasitic infection. Conventional medicine fails to detect most parasites
Despite its epidemic proportions, parasitic infection continues to be overlooked by many physicians as a basis for illness, even at the height of acute parasitic infection. A report on ABC World News Tonight exposed the medical profession's widespread failure to detect parasitic infection. Misdiagnosis sometimes leads to prescribing powerful drugs that can depress the immune system, while they miss attacking the real culprits. Debilitating symptoms suffered by millions of people can now often be traced to previously unsuspected parasitic infection. In a recent study of over 400 Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS) patients, parasitologists discovered that an incredible 93% had some form of parasitic infestation! Dr. Leo Galland suggests that “every patient with disorders of immune function, including multiple allergies (especially food allergies) and patients with unexplained fatigue or with chronic bowel symptoms, should be evaluated for the presence of intestinal parasites.” But old-fashioned, still-current medical techniques like ordinary “stool tests” often produce false negatives. One reason is that many parasites reside in the blood, tissue or intestinal tract lining – and are not revealed in random stool samples. And the rate of excretion of eggs and cysts can vary and not show up in one sample. Now a foolproof detection method has been developed by Ann Louise Gittleman in association with UniKey Health Systems. Mainstream medicine doesn't offer effective solutions
Parasites are becoming increasingly difficult to eliminate, and conventional medicine isn't coping with the challenge. Parasite expert Dr. Louis Parrish points out that prescription drugs that may have been 90% effective 25 years ago are now largely useless against ever-more-resistant protozoa (which make up 70% of parasitic types). But most doctors still labour under the misconception that these outdated drugs are the best available cure. 'Today [such] a single course of treatment cures less than 5%,' Dr. Parrish states.

Disclaimer November 27 Why your brain needs fishWhy your brain needs fish Without this essential fatty acid, human life is hardly possible. DHA is abundant in neural tissues, important in terms of cognitive and visual function, and forms an integral part of the membranes of all the body's cells - including the cells of the brain. If you're still not eating fish at least two times a week, read on. This article might convince you to stock up on the tuna and book that long overdue fishing trip. Fatty acids explained Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are classified into two groups: the omega-3 fatty acids and the omega-6 fatty acids. These fats all fall into the category of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, or PUFAs (vs. saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids). While both the omega-3s and the omega-6s need to be included in the diet, we tend to eat more omega-6 fatty acids, and less omega-3 fatty acids, than we should. So, the general recommendation is to try to include more omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. There are basically three omega-3 fatty acids to take note of: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA. Flaxseed is the richest source of ALA, which can be converted in the body to EPA and DHA. Fatty marine fish, such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, are rich in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Although the brain needs a constant supply of EFAs throughout life, the two most sensitive periods are infancy and ageing. Fatty acids and child development This made researchers start to think that breastfeeding might have an impact on cognitive ability. They also started to wonder whether the omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk could be linked to this phenomenon. More research followed and other positive results emerged. Research showed that maternal omega-3 intake was critical for the development of the growing foetus and a landmark UK study indicated that Britain's mental health crisis could be tied to a 50-year decline in fish consumption. A local study, conducted by the MRC, pointed to the importance of supplementing the diet with DHA prior to conception and during pregnancy. The study showed that a child born to a mother with a good DHA status is more advanced in terms of cognitive development at 18 months. Research conducted in 2003 by the University of Stellenbosch showed that a fish flour-based spread, served with bread, possibly affected the learning and memory abilities of the primary-school children who participated in the study. Fatty acids, ageing and dementia As we age, essential fatty acid deficiency can accelerate mental deterioration, according to Prof Nola Dippenaar, founder and owner of Health Insight, a company that consults to companies and individuals on the physiology and biochemistry of the human body. "EFAs play a significant role in brain structure by determining membrane fluidity, while also contributing significantly to brain function," Dippenaar says. She emphasises the fact that cell membranes aren't structures, but liquids, and that greater fluidity of the membranes improves the function of cells � also in the brain. This fluidity is thanks to the fatty acids that are incorporated in the cell membranes. Although the brain has the ability to produce some of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by itself, this process is limited and becomes even more limited as we age. So, as we grow older, more of these fatty acids should come from the diet. The age-related decrease in the brain's essential fatty acid levels affects different parts of the brain in different ways. Unfortunately, the areas involved in memory and learning seem to be the first to suffer. In terms of cell-membrane composition, the brain's cells respond to the omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in the diet. The cells are particularly sensitive to the omega-3/omega-6 ratio. Experts agree that by ensuring an adequate intake of the PUFAs as we age, the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, can possibly be delayed or even prevented. Recent studies have found that DHA, the fatty acid found in fish, has a particularly important role to play in terms of memory � giving us another good reason to ensure the adequate intake of this food throughout life. Worldwide, 24 million people are affected by dementia, of which Alzheimer's disease is the most common form. � (Carine van Rooyen, updated April 2008) Reference: Read more: Melamine infants still sickMelamine infants still sick A total 50 741 children have recovered and been discharged, since news that many dairy products were contaminated with an industrial chemical sent parents rushing for check-ups.

Joining the chain gang is as easy as buying a bike and pedaling off into the sunset. There is the getting fit part, but you'll be having so much fun, you'll breeze through this. That said, you may need a refresher (let's not say crash!) course before setting off on your first off-road mission. Mountain-biking (MTB) technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and these days you'll find bikes featuring mod cons such as front suspension, clickshift gears, intelligent drive trains and predictive rear shocks that are able to ''sense'' the terrain. Walk into a cycle shop and you'll be confronted by a range of bicycles varying in price from less than R1 000 to well over R50 000. It's a matter of horses for courses - so decide where and at what level you want to ride before handing over your cash. In search of the holy trail South Africa boasts a host of riding regions with anything from desert cranking and deep-forest riding to leisurely coastal cruises. Official trails are usually graded according to the level of difficulty - green means ''easy'', blue ''moderate'', red ''difficult'' and black ''extreme''. When grading a route trail owners and riders consider the duration of the ride, accumulated climb, total distance and terrain. Ride with respect not only for other trail users but also for the environment. Avoid hard braking and skidding as this causes erosion and damages the trail. Slow down when you see hikers or animals because they have right of way in the great outdoors. Always arrange access, pay for permits, stick to the marked trail and don't litter or damage anything. We chose these trails from the many brilliant rides in South Africa. It may not be a definitive guide but each route is special in its own way, there are options to suit novices and pros and also one route abroad. Rule No 1: Wear a helmet 1. Golden Gate Highlands National Park, Free State Grading: You're riding on tarmac roads within the park, making this an easy ride. 2. Augrabies National Park, Northern Cape Grading: The surface is good and the riding is relatively flat. 3. Harkerville Trail, Garden Route Grading: Bring the family because the various routes range from a gentle cruise for the kids to white-knuckle runs for the big guns. Diabetics mentally slower?Diabetics mentally slower? Findings from several studies have linked type 2 diabetes with cognitive dysfunction. However, it was unclear which cognitive processes were most affected, and how undiagnosed diabetes and abnormal blood glucose (sugar) levels influenced cognitive performance. To investigate, researchers analysed data from 1 917 elderly men and women enrolled in the Ages Reykjavik Study - a large population-based study that ran from 2002 to 2006. The Ages study explored genetic and other risk factors for a variety of age-related conditions including cognitive impairment. The study subjects, who did not have dementia, included 955 non-diabetic individuals, 744 with impaired fasting glucose (a precursor to full blown diabetes), 163 with diagnosed diabetes, and 55 with undiagnosed diabetes. Studies show diabetics are 'slower' Memory performance and "executive function" - the ability to plan, schedule, and multi-task - were comparable in the two groups, except for those who had diabetes for 15 years or longer, for whom significantly poorer executive function was also observed. For those with undiagnosed diabetes, both processing speed and memory performance were significantly worse relative to their non-diabetic peers. For patients with impaired fasting glucose (pre-diabetes), cognitive performance in all three areas was on par with that seen in non-diabetic subjects. "Given the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in older adults and the complexity of disease management in these high-risk individuals, future treatment protocols should be developed with the cognitive status of patients with type 2 diabetes in mind," the research team concludes. � (Reuters Health, November 2008) Read more: November 23 Vitamens fail cancer testVitamins fail cancer test The public has been hit by good and bad news about vitamins, much of it from test-tube or animal studies and hyped manufacturer claims. Even when researchers compare people's diets and find that a vitamin seems to help, the benefit may not translate when that nutrient is obtained a different way, such as a pill. "Antioxidants, which include vitamin C and vitamin E, have been shown as a group to have potential benefit," but have not been tested individually for a long enough time to know, said Howard Sesso of Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The Physicians Health Study, which he helped lead, was designed to do that. It involved 14 641 male doctors, 50 or older, including 1 274 who had cancer when or before the study started in 1997. They were included so scientists could see whether the vitamins could prevent a second cancer. Vit E had no affect on cancer outcome After an average of eight years, there were 1 929 cases of cancer, including 1 013 cases of prostate cancer, which many had hoped vitamin E would prevent. However, rates of prostate cancer and of total cancer were similar among all four groups. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and several vitamin makers. Results were being reported Sunday at an American Association for Cancer Research conference in Washington. "Well-conducted clinical trials such as this are rapidly closing the door on the hope that common vitamin supplements may protect against cancer," said Marji McCullough, nutrition chief at the American Cancer Society. "It's still possible that some benefit exists for subgroups that couldn't be measured, but the overall results are certainly discouraging. Cancer Society recommends healthy diet About 12% of Americans take supplements of C and E. The new study does not mean these vitamins have no value, just that they didn't prevent cancer in this group of doctors, who may be healthier than the general population, said Dr Peter Shields, deputy director of Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Centre. The best bet, he said, is to do things that are known to prevent the disease - eat right, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise. � (Sapa) Read more: November 2008 What your doctor would not tell you.What your doctor won’t tell you…
Drug reactions result in over 106,000 deaths annually… Are you or your loved ones next? Learn how to safeguard your health and that of your family by knowing ‘what never to touch’ and ‘what’s safe to take’ when it comes to natural and conventional medicine. This life-saving report includes: · Will Viagra make you go blind? A new study reveals shocking new stats. Also - why you should never take Viagra if you’re on any kind of heart medication (see page 47 now) · Doctors and researchers are dumbfounded: The once-safe smallpox vaccine is now causing deadly brain inflammation, could you be next? (page 52) · Why you should never give a child aspirin: The deadly syndrome most people don’t know about until it’s too late (page 44) · Experiencing impotence and don’t know why? It could be from taking any one of these drugs, and chances are your doctor won’t have warned you about it! (see page 27 now) Read all this and much more in the groundbreaking “132 of the Deadliest Food-Drug Interactions & Side Effects” report and take your health into your own hands. Dear friend, Do you know what happens when doctors go on strike? Well, when Israeli medical doctors went on strike in 2000, according to the British Medical Journal, the number of deaths in that country actually went DOWN. (And to such an extent that funeral directors were protesting the strike.) No kidding! But what’s important to note here is that emergency care, birth and delivery and other vital services were not disrupted during the strike. What stopped were visits to outpatient centres - meaning fewer prescriptions were written. That’s right! The less drugs people took the fewer dangerous side effects and deadly drug interactions and ultimately fewer deaths! Shocking isn’t it? 64% of doctor’s visits result in prescriptions
And what’s even more frightening is more drugs - and many more combinations of drugs - are being used to treat patients than ever before. In fact 64% of all patient visits to physicians result in prescriptions. And the rate of adverse drug reactions increases exponentially if you are taking 4 or more medications. The result? Adverse drug reactions kill over 106,000 annually in the US alone! And that’s why I want to introduce you to one of the most powerful health reports you’ll ever read… You’d probably never be told about these deadly reactions… until it’s too late! It’s a groundbreaking report on some of the deadliest drug side effects that plague the medical community today. And what’s scarier is: You’d probably never hear about them elsewhere. For example:
Who would've thought orange juice, liquorice or cheese could be so dangerous? Well, they are, when combined with certain medications. This is also an eye-opening guide to the unexpected and sometimes deadly ways foods, vitamins, minerals and herbs can interact with prescription and over-the-counter drugs, and how those drugs can interact with each other. Such as:

Bridget didn’t know about drug interactions and it almost cost her… her life! Drug interactions aren’t rare and they don’t only happen to heavily-medicated people… They happen to the average person – people like you and me. You often hear of someone that has experienced a drug interaction like Bridget who wanted to lose weight quickly… And like most of us who are willing to try the latest and greatest weight-loss pill, she bought herself a bottle containing a special weight loss agent. Whilst taking this weight-loss drug, she decided to try another “all-natural” remedy guaranteed to speed up her metabolism… Two are better than one – right? Most definitely not in this instance: Her “all-natural” pill contained ephedra and this interacted with the special weight-loss agent in the first drug she took… And the result… She woke up in the middle of the night – sweating profusely, her heart pounding with what seemed to be frighteningly irregular beats. Her chest ached and she was certain she was having a heart attack. Luckily the palpitations gradually subsided and there was no need to rush her to hospital. But to this day Bridget swears her heart has never been the same: She describes it as “weakened”… You know what’s really frightening about this story? She was able to buy both drugs over-the-counter, without prescription and nowhere on the packaging did it warn her of any possible interaction! There was no way for her to know she shouldn’t take these tablets together! Perhaps if she had read our report before taking them she would have known to be more careful before mixing those drugs… To make certain the same thing never happens to you click here now: Do you know enough about your heart medication?

Disclaimer November 21 The balanced diet.The balanced diet Food Groups Compared to our ancestors and rural people in Africa, people living in South African cities have so many different foods to choose from, that it is quite understandable that they get confused. However, the basic food groups have remained the same, only the variety in each group has expanded dramatically. If you stop and think for a moment about the foods you eat, you will see that they can be classified into a number of broad categories, namely:
Of course most foods, and especially prepared or processed foods, can contain ingredients from more than one of these food groups, e.g. potato crisps are made of potatoes (fruit and vegetable group), but they also contain a lot of fat. Most people are able to work out for themselves which group a food belongs to. Just be logical and don�t kid yourself. Taking the potato crisp example, most people would not classify this food as a vegetable, but they know that this is a high-fat food and that it can make one gain weight when eaten in excess.
The fruit and vegetable group Fruit and vegetables, which are derived from living plants, are rich in health-promoting nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamins A and C (powerful antioxidants), minerals, dietary fibre (wonderful for regularity and reducing the energy content of the diet), and bioflavonoids (protective against many diseases). Because fruit and vegetables contain so many protective nutrients, they should be eaten in large quantities and everyone should try and eat five or more portions a day. A typical example would be eating an apple, an orange, half a cup of grated carrots, a green salad and drinking a glass of fruit juice to obtain those vital five portions a day. This food group protects against the degenerative diseases associated with the western lifestyle, such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, diverticulitis and a suppressed immune system. The grain and cereal group Unfortunately about 30 years ago a prominent researcher called Prof Yudkin, proposed a theory that carbohydrates in general, and sugar in particular, were the cause of all the ills that plague humanity, especially obesity. The good Professor did a remarkable job. Not only did his theory result in sugars and starchy foods becoming the pariahs of the western food world, but this bad press also rubbed off on all the other carbohydrate foods. We are still feeling the negative effects of his campaign today. Ask any person at random which foods they should cut out to be healthy and to lose weight, and they will answer, "carbohydrates". The opposite is actually true as has been proved over and over again ever since Prof Yudkin launched his attack on sugars and starches in the 1960s. But the basic idea has stuck and now it is difficult to convince the modern public to accept carbohydrate foods as the wonderful, healthy staples they really are. There is a lot of evidence that people who eat mainly unprocessed starches and carbohydrates, cereals and grains, are very healthy and don�t suffer from the diseases associated with our western lifestyle. Rural African tribes who have diets based on grain (millet, sorghum, maize), fruit and vegetables, and sour milk, to which small quantities of foods derived from animals such as meat, are added, do not develop heart disease, stroke, and most cancers. These people are also not obese. The answer to our ever increasing epidemic of obesity, heart and blood vessel disease, cancer and digestive problems, is to return to eating plenty of starchy, unprocessed cereals and grains. The ideal is to make the bulk of each meal a carbohydrate-rich food, e.g. eat a bowl of unsifted maize meal, Maltabella or oats porridge, or high-fibre cereal, plus wholewheat toast for breakfast. Or have wholewheat sandwiches for lunch if you are at work and base your evening meal on jacket potatoes, brown rice, pasta, samp, or boiled crushed wheat. The cereals and grains group is our best source of B vitamins, vitamin E, essential minerals and trace elements (zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, potassium), dietary fibre and polyphenols. These nutrients protect us against heart disease, many different kinds of cancer, diabetes and obesity. Eat two or more portions of the cereal and grain group at each meal and you will be healthier, live longer and gain less weight. Just remember to select only unprocessed or minimally processed starches and grains to get the greatest benefit. - (Dr I.V. van Heerden, DietDoc) Advertisement
On Health24 The balanced diet.The balanced diet Food Groups Compared to our ancestors and rural people in Africa, people living in South African cities have so many different foods to choose from, that it is quite understandable that they get confused. However, the basic food groups have remained the same, only the variety in each group has expanded dramatically. If you stop and think for a moment about the foods you eat, you will see that they can be classified into a number of broad categories, namely:
Of course most foods, and especially prepared or processed foods, can contain ingredients from more than one of these food groups, e.g. potato crisps are made of potatoes (fruit and vegetable group), but they also contain a lot of fat. Most people are able to work out for themselves which group a food belongs to. Just be logical and don�t kid yourself. Taking the potato crisp example, most people would not classify this food as a vegetable, but they know that this is a high-fat food and that it can make one gain weight when eaten in excess.
The fruit and vegetable group Fruit and vegetables, which are derived from living plants, are rich in health-promoting nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamins A and C (powerful antioxidants), minerals, dietary fibre (wonderful for regularity and reducing the energy content of the diet), and bioflavonoids (protective against many diseases). Because fruit and vegetables contain so many protective nutrients, they should be eaten in large quantities and everyone should try and eat five or more portions a day. A typical example would be eating an apple, an orange, half a cup of grated carrots, a green salad and drinking a glass of fruit juice to obtain those vital five portions a day. This food group protects against the degenerative diseases associated with the western lifestyle, such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, diverticulitis and a suppressed immune system. The grain and cereal group Unfortunately about 30 years ago a prominent researcher called Prof Yudkin, proposed a theory that carbohydrates in general, and sugar in particular, were the cause of all the ills that plague humanity, especially obesity. The good Professor did a remarkable job. Not only did his theory result in sugars and starchy foods becoming the pariahs of the western food world, but this bad press also rubbed off on all the other carbohydrate foods. We are still feeling the negative effects of his campaign today. Ask any person at random which foods they should cut out to be healthy and to lose weight, and they will answer, "carbohydrates". The opposite is actually true as has been proved over and over again ever since Prof Yudkin launched his attack on sugars and starches in the 1960s. But the basic idea has stuck and now it is difficult to convince the modern public to accept carbohydrate foods as the wonderful, healthy staples they really are. There is a lot of evidence that people who eat mainly unprocessed starches and carbohydrates, cereals and grains, are very healthy and don�t suffer from the diseases associated with our western lifestyle. Rural African tribes who have diets based on grain (millet, sorghum, maize), fruit and vegetables, and sour milk, to which small quantities of foods derived from animals such as meat, are added, do not develop heart disease, stroke, and most cancers. These people are also not obese. The answer to our ever increasing epidemic of obesity, heart and blood vessel disease, cancer and digestive problems, is to return to eating plenty of starchy, unprocessed cereals and grains. The ideal is to make the bulk of each meal a carbohydrate-rich food, e.g. eat a bowl of unsifted maize meal, Maltabella or oats porridge, or high-fibre cereal, plus wholewheat toast for breakfast. Or have wholewheat sandwiches for lunch if you are at work and base your evening meal on jacket potatoes, brown rice, pasta, samp, or boiled crushed wheat.

Just remember to select only unprocessed or minimally processed starches and grains to get the greatest benefit. - (Dr I.V. van Heerden, DietDoc) Advertisement
On Health24 November 20 Sleep and exercises cuts cancer riskSleep, exercises cuts cancer risk In a long-term study of nearly 6 000 US women, researchers found that those who exercised the most had a 25% lower chance of developing cancer than those who were the least active. But among younger, physically active women, those who slept less than seven hours a night had a 47% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer than those who regularly got a good night's rest. "Greater participation in physical activity has consistently been associated with reduced risk of cancer incidence at several sites, including breast and colon cancers," said James McClain, a cancer prevention fellow at the National Cancer Institute and lead author of the study. Lack of sleep ups heart risks too It is not yet known exactly why exercise reduces cancer risks, but researchers believe it could be due to the lower body weight, improved immune function and hormone levels associated with regular physical activity. Insufficient sleep has been linked to high risks of developing a number of conditions including heart disease, obesity and diabetes but, again, researchers have not determined exactly how sleep prevents disease. The study was presented at a conference in Washington sponsored by the American Association for Cancer Research. � (Sapa, November 2008) Read more: Superbugs stalk hospitalsSuperbugs stalk hospitals Nearly a third of cases involving infection by A. baumannii have shown resistance to frontline antibiotics, it said, citing research data. "Institutional outbreaks caused by multidrug resistant strains are a growing public health problem," said co-authors Drosos Karageorgopoulos and Matthew Falagas of the Alfa Institute of Biomedical Sciences in Athens. According to a 2004 study of 24 000 US cases, 34% of patients whose bloodstream became infected by A. baumannii while in hospital eventually died, a figure that rose to 43% among those in intensive care, they said. Urgent measures must be taken to prevent outbreaks in healthcare facilities, and to identify which drugs, and drug combinations, are the most effective in neutralising the bacteria, they warned. A. baumannii rarely attacks healthy individuals, and is more frequently found among critically ill hospital patients. Stricter hygiene practices needed Symptoms include pneumonia and bacteria in the blood, as well as infection of surgical sites and the urinary tract. The new study reviews different options for controlling and treating infections. Stricter hygiene practices - sterilisation of reusable medical equipment, hand washing, limiting physical contact - are essential, the researchers say. They also review the panoply of antibiotics available. Long regarded as the "agents of choice," a category of treatment called carbapenems has shown much higher rates of resistance in recent years. Other antibiotic groups - polymyxins and minocyclines - have been shown to be more effective. � (Sapa, November 2008) Read more: Advertisement

November 17 Healthy Christmas presents to yourselfHealthy Christmas presents to give yourself Everyone is always frantic at this time of the year to find the right presents for the extended family that is descending on you for Christmas Day celebrations. But what are you going to be giving yourself? The good news is that what you can give yourself needn't cost a lot of money. Stop smoking. Yes, this is difficult, but think of this � no more smelly car, no more smelly hair, no more smelly breath, the nicest seats in restaurants and no more frantic chewing of peppermints before you dare to kiss anyone. Do whatever it takes � talk to your GP about taking anti-depressants for a short while to help you over this. The long term health benefits are immeasurable. Get a water filter. Our tap water isn't too bad, but why settle for not too bad? Get a water filter and attach it to the kitchen tap. You'll save a fortune in bottled water. Join a walking club. OK, so exercise and gyms may not be your thing. A walking club caters for people of every level of fitness (or lack therof). It is structured, cheap and there is usually a professional who can answer your questions. Let go of what is bugging you. If you've been obsessing about someone else's problem � drinking, drugging, relationships, whatever, accept that loving someone doesn't always mean shouldering their every problem. People need to learn to take care of themselves and allowing them to do that is often the most loving thing you can do. Go for a checkup. Many serious conditions have no symptoms, for example hypertension and high cholesterol � have yourself tested and go for a thorough checkup. Watch less TV. Slouching in front of the TV for hours on end is not good for your posture and it's not good for your mind. Decide on the weekend which programmes you would like to see during the week, and stick to it. Don't get yourself into a situation where you carry on watching low quality programmes, because it's too much trouble to get up, switch off and get moving. Learn to forgive. Life is unfair and people can be unjust and yes, you could have been at the receiving end of some of this. If you've been pouring energy into a bottomless pit of revenge fantasies, the only one suffering is you. If you forgive people, they no longer have a hold on you. Drink more water. A lot of people who are fatigued and depressed are, in fact, suffering from dehydration. Make it a habit to drink a glass of water for every cup of tea or coffee you drink and another one for every glass of wine or beer. Go for marriage counselling. Every partnership needs a service every now and then. You wouldn't drive your car until the engine groans and black smoke belches from the exhaust, would you? Marriage counselling sorts out many problems before they become too big to handle. Learn to de-stress. There is an art to this and it can be learnt. Whether you choose yoga or T'ai Chi or meditation or a regular massage or breathing exercises remains your choice. Just find something that works for you. Learn to say no. You are your own first priority and you have to look after yourself first before you can care for others. If you say yes to someone when you don't have the time or the energy, you will end up resenting them and yourself, for not being able to say no. Take time out. Everyone needs this. But if you don't build this into your programme , it just won't happen. Make time every day � even if it is for half an hour � to do something you enjoy � whether it is reading, talking to a friend on the telephone or pottering in the garden. (Susan Erasmus, Health24) Fight diabetesFight Diabetes and Regulate Your Blood Sugar by Eating Eggs, Pizza and Brownies! Discover 10 secret “super-foods” in this breakthrough programme!
Dear Friend, Mrs S.R. was a retired widow who always thought she’d taken pretty good care of herself. But then her doctor told her she had Type II diabetes. Once she got over her fear and even embarrassment, S.R. became determined not to let the disease control her life… so she found a natural way to control her diabetes. In just three weeks, S.R. noticed a big boost in her energy. Eventually, she beat the disease, stopped taking medication and began spending more time with her grandchildren and travelling to exotic places around the world. What’s S.R.’s secret? Well… first off… she found a doctor who said, ‘You can conquer diabetes without drugs and heal your body with the foods you eat.’ In his latest book, The Diabetes Improvement Program: A Doctor’s Handbook for Using Foods and Supplements to Slow and Reverse the Complications of Diabetes, Dr. Patrick Quillin shows you how to use 10 super foods to battle diabetes naturally… without the use of drugs or needles. He’s also an award-winning author of more than 15 books that have sold millions of copies worldwide. With his 7-step programme, you too can feel better in just weeks. Your body will begin to feel healthier. You’ll feel energised and get control of your weight. You may even begin to see an improvement in your eyesight, circulation and sense of balance. But most of all… you could finally get control of your diabetes. You’ll learn how to: · Normalise your blood sugar · Boost your energy · Lose weight · Eliminate sugar cravings · Heal cuts faster · Strengthen your eyesight · Regain your sense of balance · Improve circulation But first… let’s back up for a moment… Will I have to take medications for the rest of my life?
When your doctor said ‘you have Type II Diabetes,’ did he tell you to lose 9 kilos, cut out ice-cream… and then pretty much send you packing with a prescription in your pocket? I’m sure you had questions like… do I cut out all sugar? Do I have to give up fruit and juice? And what about artificial sweeteners? Is all bread bad? What about fat? Will taking more vitamins help? Well – if you’ve been managing the disease for a few months or even years, you know it’s not easy. Even if you see a dietician, their advice of a low-sugar, low-fat, no-fun diet can be pretty depressing and overwhelming. Teach Your Body How to Digest
The truth is… you can’t just cut out fat and sugar from your diet and cure diabetes. The key to controlling and even conquering diabetes is to address the underlying cause of the disease. Sure… we all know that you get diabetes because of a combination of factors… lifestyle, diet or genetics. Slowly, over time, your body goes haywire and forgets how to process sugar. But if you’re taking medicine or insulin to control your diabetes, you’re controlling the symptoms of the disease not getting at the heart of the problem. But on Dr. Quillin’s programme you can teach your body how to process the sugar. Your body could regulate itself naturally… without drugs or insulin injections. So… why do most people use drugs when research shows that… Diabetes drugs increase your risk of a heart attack by 250% Most doctors want a quick fix and put you on glucose-lowering drugs. Yes – they can control your symptoms and lower your blood sugar. But they don’t address the cause of the disease. And sure… you want to get your symptoms quickly under control. Who wouldn’t? But what are the Risks?
Did you know that glucose-lowering drugs can lose their effectiveness over time? Plus – they can dramatically increase your chances of dying from a heart attack. In fact, many diabetes drugs increase your risk of a heart attack or a stroke by as much as 250%. Is it any small wonder that 80% of diabetics die of heart disease? Plus – many of these drugs are also associated with weight-gain, elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain, drowsiness and headache. Control diabetes in just weeks… and reduce your risk of heart attack!
In Dr. Quillin’s new book – The Diabetes Improvement Program – you’ll discover more about his breakthrough diabetes treatment plan that goes straight to the underlying cause of the disease. Plus – on his programme, you could actually reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke… not increase it! You’ll be shocked at just how simple it is to fight diabetes naturally…
But that’s not all… 10 Super Foods that help you battle diabetes
In this exciting book, you’ll also learn about 10 ‘super foods’ that can be the most important elements in your diabetes programme… foods that most doctors and dieticians don’t have a clue about! For instance… has your doctor ever talked to you about brewer’s yeast (#4 on Dr. Quillin’s list of super foods)? Your mother probably used it to make her homemade bread. Well, believe it or not, taking just one tablespoon a day of brewer’s yeast can substantially reduce your blood glucose levels. In the new boom The Diabetes Improvement Program, you’ll find out exactly how it works and how fast you’ll see results. The bottom line is… Doctors have been telling us for decades simply to ‘stop eating sugar.’ Now we know why this advice doesn’t work!
The key to beating diabetes isn’t just about depriving yourself of sugar and fat. We’ve been hearing that for years, but it just doesn’t work for millions of people. The truth is… most diabetics suffer from a dangerously low intake of certain key nutrients. And this nutritional deficiency is how diabetes gets started in the first place. The good news is… you can replace these vital nutrients and benefit your body with the foods you eat. For instance, did you know…
But that’s not all. In The Diabetes Improvement Program, you’ll learn how to:
Now turn to page 80 to meet A.R. You won’t believe how easy it was for her to overcome a family history of diabetes…
“I got Type I diabetes, but I beat it and didn’t go blind like my mother!”
For years, A.R. watched her mother go through the pain of uncontrolled diabetes, including blindness and kidney failure. A.R. vowed never to go through such an ordeal. But years later, A.R. was in fact diagnosed with Type I diabetes after having a hysterectomy for a benign growth on her ovary. The first year after her diagnosis, A.R. ate out of depression. Her weight and blood glucose levels skyrocketed. Afraid she would end up just like her mother, A.R. approached Dr. Quillin. He assured A.R. that she wouldn’t go blind and began to tailor a plan for her to stop the disease. Soon after beginning the 7-step programme, A.R. discovered the power of Dr. Quillin’s so-called super foods, such as brewer’s yeast. She also began taking high doses of niacin to help her burn calories and help her body absorb glucose. Six months into the programme, A.R. called Dr. Quillin once again. She was going on a date… the first since her divorce five years ago. She felt great and it showed… plus, she’d even stopped taking insulin! A.R.’s breakthrough has worked for many others. In The Diabetes Improvement Program you’ll also read about J.W. “I threw away my hypoglycaemic drugs.” Like millions of others, J.W. developed Type II Diabetes in her 60s. Her doctor put her on hypoglycaemic drugs to get her blood sugar quickly under control. But the drugs only masked the problem and didn’t do anything to correct the underlying condition that caused her diabetes. So – J.W. went to Dr. Quillin and asked him what ‘foods and nutrients will give me the biggest bang for my buck in reversing my diabetes?’ Dr. Quillin outlined his 7-step programme and began to teach J.W. how to control her body’s reaction to sugar. He encouraged J.W to incorporate brewer’s yeast and the other super foods into her diet. Four months later, J.W.’s blood sugar levels returned to normal. Her doctor said she could throw away her drugs and continue whatever she was doing… it was working! Turn to page 115 to find out more about J.W.’s programme that helped her conquer diabetes and return to healthy living. And now meet M.V. Her story proves that beating diabetes doesn’t have to be about depriving yourself. “I beat diabetes without giving up the foods I love.”
M.V. is a master chef at an acclaimed restaurant. But after years in the kitchen, M.V. began to gain weight and she eventually developed Type II diabetes. She experienced blurred vision and tingling in her feet… and one night she passed out at work. M.V. loves to cook and eat… and she didn’t want to change her lifestyle. But after trying The Diabetes Improvement Program, she was hooked. Now, her blood glucose levels and body weight have returned to normal… and she doesn’t have any more circulation problems in her feet or hands. If an award-winning chef can eat like this, you can too… Are pizzas and brownies part of your diabetic diet? They should be!
The secret behind Dr. Quillin’s programme is letting the foods you eat work for you, not against you. Sure – that’s easy to say. But with Dr. Quillin’s new book, you’ll get page after page of sample menus and recipes that incorporate the 10 super foods known to help combat this insidious disease. In The Diabetes Improvement Program, you’ll find recipes for delicious and mouth-watering dishes, such as:

Disclaimer November 15 Cardio training?Welcome back to another edition of Lean Body Fitness Secrets Ezine. Today, I have an intriguing discussion about cardio training, which will hopefully get you thinking differently, and trying new things. You may know I've been called the anti-cardio guy before, but this week I'm back posing the question to you... Do you really need cardio training to get lean and in great shape? By the way, you'll see in a minute that I'm not really "anti-cardio", just "anti traditional cardio". Most fitness buffs, weekend warriors, or anyone trying to get in shape or lose body fat, consider it a "fact" that they need "cardio" exercise to accomplish these goals. They would never even question it. However, I'm not only questioning it, I'm going to refute it! In fact, you may be surprised to know that some of the leanest and meanest people I know (men and women), NEVER do any type of normal or traditional cardio. And I've spent over 15 years working out in various gyms, and hanging out with athletes of all sorts, so I've seen it all. I will say that there can be a place for low-moderate level cardio for really overweight or deconditioned people, but even in those cases, there can be more effective methods. Whenever someone comes up to me at the gym and asks me how much cardio they should do to lose more body fat, my answer is always... NONE!!! You should see the crazy looks I get...it's priceless! But the fact is, just like the lean people I mentioned above that never do cardio, I personally haven't done what most people would consider "cardio" in years. Heck, I can't even remember the last time I "jogged" on the treadmill, or glided away on an elliptical, or pedaled away going nowhere on the stationary bike. Yet despite my lack of "cardio", I maintain single digit body fat percentages year round. Don't get me wrong... Just because I say I don't do "cardio", doesn't mean that I don't work my butt off in the gym. But what exactly is "cardio"? Most people would consider cardio to be exactly what I described above... pumping away mindlessly on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, or coasting on an elliptical machine, while watching the TV screen at their state of the art gym. This is what I call "traditional cardio". Hmmm, no wonder the majority of people get bored with their workouts and give up after a couple months without seeing results. But if you look closer, "cardio" can be considered any type of exercise or activity that strengthens the cardiovascular system. I'm not going to get into anything technical like increasing your VO2 max or anything like that. To keep it simple, if it gets your heart pumping, and gets you huffin and puffin... it's cardio. I don't care if you're holding dumbbells or a barbell and everyone calls it a weight training exercise...it's still conditioning your heart. Let's take a look at a couple examples. Take a barbell (or dumbbell, or kettlebell) clean & press for example, which involves lifting a barbell from the floor up to shoulders, then push pressing overhead. And listen up ladies, because even though this is usually seen as a manly exercise, it doesn't matter if you're not lifting 250 lbs; if 45 lbs is challenging to you, then you will still benefit just as much. At first glance, most people think of the barbell C&P only as a weight training exercise or strength exercise. However, I challenge you to do a hard set of around 10-15 reps on the C&P. If you used a challenging enough weight, what you'll find is that your heart rate is probably up to about 80-90% of your recommended max, and you are huffing and puffing like you just ran a 100-meter sprint (which by the way, sprinting kicks the crap out of jogging any day if you want the easiest way to lose the flab fast). Try the same thing for a set of 20 reps of one-arm snatches or swings with each arm with a dumbbell (2 of my specialty exercises in my Truth about Six Pack Abs manual), and tell me your legs aren't burning, heart racing, and you're gasping for breath. How about trying 5 minutes straight of rotating bodyweight squats, lunges, and pushups with very little rest between. Again, notice your heart pounding, sweat pouring off of you, and chest heaving for breaths! Try and tell me you're not conditioning your heart with this style of training! Conventional thinking says that these are weight training or strength training exercises. However, they are fullfilling your cardio needs as well. Not only do you save time, but you strengthen and condition almost every muscle in your entire body with these full body exercises if you do them with enough intensity...something that can't be said for that boring stationary bike ride or treadmill jaunt while reading or watching TV. Seriously, if you can read or watch TV while doing any exercise, you're not concentrating enough on what you're doing, plus you're probably not working out hard enough to see any real results. I challenge you to give the "traditional cardio" a rest for 6 weeks, and start training the way I explain in my internationally-selling Truth about Six pack Abs Program, and see how you start getting leaner, more defined, and your six pack starting to show through what used to be stubborn stomach fat deposits. What do you have to lose? If you don't like the program, you're covered by the guarantee... so you really have nothing to lose except that extra belly blubber that's been hanging around way too long!
