The Snack Food Industry – Our Children’s Secret Adversary

7 septembre 2010

This may come as a shocking description of things like chocolate, crisps, milkshakes, fizzy drinks etc, but my aim isn’t to shock, rather inform people of what these things really are. Cigarette packets have clear warnings about their effects, as should most of the junk food and snacks that are consumed in this country at obscene rates a year. Not everyone can be versed in the intricacies of nutritional therapy, but is it asking too much to exercise caution and read the labels on the products we buy to feed ourselves and our children? The Concise Oxford Dictionary’s definition of Junk is « discarded articles, rubbish, anything regarded as little value, a slang term for narcotic drugs » a fitting description of the highly addictive, poisonous substances they are, why should we feed our children and ourselves these things.

Now lets see the effects of just 10 of the hundreds of additives that are in ourselves and our children’s snack foods, so you are better informed the next time you go to increase the profit margins of companies whose only concern is money and power, and never consider the sometimes irreversible damage they are doing to ourselves and our children. If it’s a suspected carcinogenic, it means there are definitely studies out there which confirm these suspicions and if it’s banned in baby food, it doesn’t make it safe for you.

Aspartame – This sugar substitute is 200 times sweeter than sugar, banned in babies food, it enhances the stimulatory effect of flavourings such as Monosodium Glutamate, adversely effects nervous system and is a suspected carcinogenic (cancer causing agent).

Xylitol – A sugar substitute (bulk sweetener) found in some chewing gums. It is toxic to the brain, liver, and urinary passages in high doses and can cause diarrhoea.

Monosodium Glutamate – This is an all purpose seasoning used to enhance the flavours of food – it is a well known neurotoxin (toxin affecting the brain) found in crisps, seasonings and many take away foods.

E100 Curcumin – A food colouring for creamy yellow colouring – Used in sweets, fish fingers and yoghurts and linked to possible gene damage.

E110 Sunset Yellow – A yellow food colouring – Used in jams, cakes, ice-creams and yoghurts to name a few and is a suspected carcinogen that can induce an allergy to sunlight, which would be detrimental to melanin dominant individuals who need sunlight.

Aspartame and Migraines – not an Issue?

31 août 2010

There is an ongoing controversy as to whether aspartame is responsible for causing headaches in people who ingest it. The FDA calls aspartame the most researched food additive ever approved.

While there have been multiple reports of users experiencing sudden and severe onset of migraine headaches after using of aspartame, studies done by various institutions would seem to indicate the link is not causal. The FDA says they have received the results of over 100 clinical trials and doxological studies, and upon review they have concluded that aspartame is safe for ingestion by the human population.

The search for a new type of artificial sweetener came in the late 1970s, after concerns were raised about the safety of saccharin, the original artificial sugar marketed under the name Sweet ‘n Low. Saccharin was placed on the anticipated carcinogens list and remains on that list as it is known to cause cancer in animals; despite this it remains a highly popular sweetener.

Aspartame, marketed under such brand names as Equal and NutraSweet, was approved by the FDA in 1981, and is present in many diet drinks, foods and gum as well as being marketed heavily as a tabletop sweetener.

Aspartame is considered to be a helpful tool for those on diet programs, as it can be used to cut out sugars from the diet. As a very low calorie product it has found favor with calorie counters world-wide.

In the past decade, many reports have been made by aspartame users concerning adverse effects, particularly in the case of migraine headaches. An elaborate study was conducted at Duke University Medical center with a patient subset consisting of people who claimed that aspartame caused them to have serious headaches whenever they used it.

Neurology, Part 2: Treatments Of Specific Neurologic Diseases

23 août 2010

Now that we have reviewed the general treatments for brain and nerve health, we will address unique treatments for individual disorders. Let me stress that until enough of the general treatments are accomplished, including good diet, heavy doses of B vitamins and essential fatty oils, these additional treatments may not be of great value.

Traumatic brain injury: this occurs by trauma to the brain, which may be from a fall, an automobile accident, a sports injury, or an assault. This injury causes a bruise on the brain, both at the site of initial impact when the brain hits the skull, and at the opposite side of the brain as the brain bounces off the skull at the site of the initial injury. The second injury to the brain is called a contrecoup injury. The brain will immediately swell, because of blood vessel breakage, inflammatory substances are released, attracting inflammation and swelling to both areas of injury. If the swelling increases, it will compress the brain tissue and blood vessels, so that nutrients and oxygen cannot be carried to the site, and waste products cannot be removed.

One of the eleven approved uses of hyperbaric oxygen is for healing chronic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen is the use of 100% oxygen in a pressure environment that is 50-100% higher than normal atmospheric pressure. You may have heard about its use for divers who get the « bends » in diving. Hyperbaric oxygen is known to induce angiogenesis, which is the formation of brand new blood vessels to an area of low oxygen saturation. It is through this and other mechanisms that wound healing takes place.

Because of oxygen deprivation, the brain cells will soon become dysfunctional, and eventually start dying. Hyperbaric oxygen can reverse this process by bringing much needed oxygen to the areas of dying cells. The injury process causes the release of significant numbers of free radicals, which cause further damage and swelling. This can be reversed by IV EDTA Chelation therapy, especially when DMSO is added to the IV solution. This combination is extremely effective at providing much needed oxygen and removal of the free radicals that are initiating the cascade of inflammation and swelling leading to the death of the neurons.
