A New Look at Breast Cancer

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

There is such a lot of confusion in the market as to what does and does not contribute to or cause breast cancer. No sooner does one theory emerge than it gets debunked two years later.

The common protection mechanism for women against breast cancer is frequent self examination and mammograms. Personally, I find mammograms a complete waste of time as I know at least 6 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer within 2 months of having mammograms. For that reason I insist on having an ultrasound to follow. This is particularly since I have already had two fibroadenomas removed from my breasts in my 20’s and 30’s, and the scar tissue alone can cause misdiagnosis on the mammograms.

Whilst I am a great supporter on embracing any modern medicine, my first line of defence is always my own health program – diet, fitness, emotional wellness.

In the following Video, Dr Mecola takes a new look at breast cancer and provides some valuable advice as to new tests for breast cancer, and simple everyday things women can do to help prevent breast cancer.

 

Takeaways

  • Include tests for Vitamin D and Fasting Insulin in your regular check ups
  • Optimize natural melatonin production by ensuring you sleep in a complete blackout environment – this is focused on the eyes. So use blackout drapes and an eye mask during the night. If you have to go to the bathroom during the night, use a red light penlight. Balance this night blackout with exposure to bright sunlight during the day. Both of these elements are required to maintain optimal levels of melatonin.

Great Videos Explaining Stem Cell Therapy To Stop Aging

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Following on from a recent post on new gene therapy to treat Parkinsons disease I caught up with the latest in stem cell therapy. There is a lot of controversy around stem cell replacement therapy – largely due to misinformation as to the source of embryonic stem cells.

Putting that aside, stem cell therapy not only is one of the greatest pathways to future treatment of age related conditions, but also poses a real pathway for the prevention of aging of all human tissue – including the skin.

Are we looking at the new fountain of youth. This short series of videos  put together a couple of years ago, provides a great introduction to how stem cells work in various parts of the body. Check them out in our new section on Stem Cell Treatment For Aging

Age Defying Human Biological Programming

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

In David Louis Edelman’s novel ‘Infoquake’ nanotechnology is injected into the human body to act as a carrier for programs that can be activated on demand to control emotions, to assist the host to sleep or stay awake, and the receive communications and partake in a virtual world, without external viewing interfaces. The process was coined ‘Human Biological Programming or Bio-Logic.

Human biological programming is an emerging medical science being heralded as the future to the self healing human. In reading through the programs used in Infoquake, it is hard not to ask oneself, are these not the very mechanisms that the body is designed to control itself, through our hormonal and neurological pathways. Could it be that living is evolving faster than life. The human body is not keeping up with the demands that merely existing in the world are placing upon it. Could it be that this accounts for the number of people who are:

  • Obese
  • Emotionally stressed
  • Physically wearing out
  • Sleep deprived
  • And so on

All biological systems exhibit adaptation and robustness in dealing with widely changing environments. By adopting these properties of biological systems, the medical world is aiming to design systems that operate adequately even in the presence of ‘catastrophic failures and large scale attacks’. Sort of like a utility system that can detect, repair and restore, akin to that of modern computers. Just as computers have built in fault tolerance, so too does the human body. However, when the level of toxins in our human environment escalate beyond the level with which our bodies can resolve on a daily basis, as residual of toxins builds up in the body, and illness follows. Back to our computer analogy, the same thing occurs in a PC. Every day, small indiscernible flaws build up in the operating system and memory, and in spite of regular cleansing and defrag programs, the hard drive is eventually deemed ‘corrupt’. At this point the only remedy is a complete reformat, and reload of programs. Biological programs could well act in the same capacity – allowing for mini restorations as our bodies become contaminated in any number of ways.
