Trashing the Flu Shot

post from The Nutrient Rich Blog on 21 March 2007 07:59:00 PM. © The Nutrient Rich Blog

Posted By Gerald PuglieseFrom Disease-ProofOh no, those poor pharmaceutical companies. Since we had a “mild flu season” millions of expiring flu shots are set to be destroyed. The good news is they don’t expire until June 30th. That means there’s plenty of time for the media to over-hype a new Bird Flu scare. More [...] Tags: Disease Proof

What Is The Hoodia Plant

post from Natural Weight Loss - Former Fat Guy on 21 March 2007 07:39:14 PM. © Natural Weight Loss - Former Fat Guy

Hoodia is a prickly plant called a succulent, which closely resembles the cactus family. Bearing large odorous blooms, the hoodia plant has been used for ages by the San tribe of South Africa. The San people, also commonly known as bushmen, use hoodia by chewing on the root during long desert trips.

The appetite suppressant qualities of the hoodia plant were discovered by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, or CSIR, in 1996. The CSIR were performing a study of the natural foods eaten by the bushmen and happened to discover the amazing potential the hoodia plant offered regarding weight loss. Hoodia was first tested by being fed to animals, who lost weight after eating it.

In 1997, the Council was able to isolate the specific ingredient found in hoodia that caused the weight loss. They licensed the patent for this ingredient to the Phytopharm company, who named it P57. Currently Phytopharm is working to develop energy bars and drinks than contain hoodia.

These products are estimated to hit the market in 2008.

Currently the only real hoodia legally available is grown by the San people in South Africa, who recieve compensation from all sales of their hoodia plants. If you purchase hoodia that comes from anywhere else, it is not guaranteed to be authentic or effective, and may even be illegal or counterfeit.

Tip! The best thing in Hoodia Gordonii diet pills is that it returns zero side effects.(The only side effect in some cases would be drowsiness and good sleep at night.

High cholesterol lowers testosterone

Men with high cholesterol or high blood pressure have lower blood levels of the male hormone, testosterone, than men with normal blood pressure.

How can this be? The male hormone, testosterone, was thought to raise cholesterol and increase risk for heart attacks. But this applied only to the methyl testosterone taken by some athletes, not the testosterone produced by the body.

Having high cholesterol, pre-diabetes or high blood pressure causes hardening of the arteries, which decreases blood flow to the testicles to damage the testicles and lower testosterone. High blood pressure and high cholesterol lower testosterone, so men with low testosterone are at increased risk for heart attacks. That means that every impotent man should have blood tests for cholesterol and diabetes, the two leading causes of heart attacks. The tests your doctor should order include HBA1C, lipid panel, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), homocysteine, Lp(a), prolactin and testosterone. By the time a man has low levels of testosterone, he may already have significant arteriosclerosis. Journal reference for this report More on lowering cholesterol and high blood pressure

Health Alliance To Test European Supplements
Directive

March 2007 - The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) has filed fifteen applications to add natural forms of vitamins and some minerals to the lists of ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of supplements according to the European Union's Food Supplements Directive. The applications, to be evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority, are seen as a test of the European Commission's procedures for extending the "allowed ingredients" lists appended to the directive, which sharply limit the compounds that may serve as sources of vitamins and minerals in supplements. Previously, the ANH had challenged, in a legal action before the European court of justice, the restrictive nature of the directive and in particular the onerous...
