GOOD, BAD AND THE UGLY - TIPS
Introduction
Over the years I have collected natural health tips from family, friends & experts in the field of medicine, health and natural sciences. These are mainly notes and are only guidelines of what are possible alternatives to health conditions one might face.
If you have any helpful ideas, corrections, links, please comment at the bottom.
Thank yourselves
ALLERGIES
==========================================================================
Beneficial for fighting allergies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The key is to avoid toxins & avoid substances your body cannot take
(smoke, dairy, gluten, cats, dust are some examples)
Also key is to boost your immune system.
Take:
* Green Tea - anti-inflammatory
* Vit C - immunity
* Quercetin (found in apples) with bromelain (pineapple) - immunity
* Acidophilous - minimizes effects of bad bacteria producing allergins
* Chlorophyll - cleans body, fresh fruits/veggies
* Echinacea - only take for a few days, builds white blood cells
* Vitimin E -builds red blood cells
Capsules are the easier pills to take
Avoid these products if you have allergies
------------------------------------------------------
* dairy foods such as cheese, milk
* MSG, Yeast, torula yeast - article
(these are in many foods so check the label)
* canned foods (BPA) - article
* meats that contain hormones fed to livestock
* some people have allergies to gluten
* Avoid CATS - Coffee, Alcohol, Tobacoo, Sugar
Get checked out by a allergy specialist to see what you are allergic too
ANTI-OXIDANTS
===================================================
* Selenium: #1 (with vitamin E)
* Green tea very effective
* Many phytochemicals are antioxidants, including carotenoids, and flavonoids.
* Among the flavonoids, isoflavonoids in soy and other legumes have estrogen-like effects.(soy)
* Some phytochemicals, such as isothiocyanates in the cabbage family and organo sulfur compounds in garlic, block the carcinogenic action of chemical carcinogens by helping the body dispose of them.
* Antioxidants are chemical substances that donate an electron to the free radical and convert it to a harmless molecule
* they help reduce iron levels
* intra-cellular antixodiants (SOD) - occur within our own cells - natures most potent form of cellular health (nac ,selenium and cinnamon boost this)
Carotenoids (Carrots)
---------------------------
* Similar to vitamin E, carotenoids trap reactive oxygen species from sunlight,
break free radical chain reactions and prevent oxidative damage. Consumption of fruits and vegetables that are high in beta-carotene has shown reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke. There are over 600 known carotenoids besides beta and alpha. About 40 are found in the human diet, and not all of them turn into vitamin A. Lycopene is one that does
not convert to vitamin A.
Lycopene
------------------
*The carotenoid lycopene provides stronger antioxidant protection against certain types of free radicals,
and may protect against certain types of cancer better than any nutrient presently known.
Lycopene makes up about half the carotenes in human serum; yet, very little research has been done on it. Lycopene is what gives tomatoes, watermelons, grapefruits and papaya their red color.
A pigment synthesized by some plants and animals to protect them from the sun,
lycopene evolved as a weapon against certain free radicals. Humans get most of their lycopene
from tomatoes--by far the richest source; yet, tomato products offer a more concentrated source
of lycopene than the fresh fruit itself. Since lycopene is a nutrient that can stand the heat,
cooked tomato products, such as tomato paste, provide more of it than fresh tomatoes.
Lycopene's cancer protection is in part due to its antioxidant protection. But some studies show that it may also modulate immunity, inhibit angiogenesis and affect hormones. Lycopene works better in combination with lutein, another carotenoid which if found mostly in spinach and corn.
Co-Q10
------------------
Co-Q10, coenzyme Q-10, or ubiquinone, is found in the cells' mitochondria, and has two known
functions. Co-Q10 transports electrons in energy production and is also an antioxidant that protects against free radicals formed during metabolism. Co-Q10 decreases in some tissues, with age.
The heart, brain and muscles, which are high in mitochondria, may be most affected by the falling levels of Co-Q10. Lipid peroxides--markers of oxidative stress--are reduced in the blood of Co-Q10 supplemented people and antioxidant vitamins-E and -C are increased.
Green Tea/Coffee - Catechins
----------------------------------------
catechins, as well as simple phenolic acids, such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and tannic acid. This can explain the well-established effectiveness of coffee in decreasing iron levels,
or fighting bacterial and viral overgrowths
Bilberry supports and protects collagen structures in the blood vessels of the eyes,
assuring strong, healthy capillaries that carry vital nutrients to eye muscles and nerves, making striking improvement to night vision possible just a few hours after a single dose.
Ginkgo
------------------------------
Ginkgo too provides benefits for the retina, thanks to its antioxidant properties, its ability to raise glutathione levels and its enhancement of the blood-retinal barrier.
Various potent flavonoids have similar effects, whether on the brain, eyesight or
the vascular system.
Betaine
----------------------
Beets contain betaine, which promotes the regeneration of liver cells and the flow
of bile. It also has a beneficial effect on fat metabolism.
Brassica Family
----------------------------
Broccoli and other members of the brassica family (cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, kholrabi)
support the liver's detoxification enzymes.
Protein
-----------------------------
Protein is required by the liver for detox. Beans, nuts, seeds, quinoa, protein powder.
Some people may choose to eat fish in moderation.
Onions and Garlic
---------------------
Rich in sulfur-containing compounds. Involved in sulfation, the main detox pathway for environmental
chemicals and certain drugs and food additives.
Helps with the elimination of harmful heavy metals from the body.
Cells
------------------------
Every minute of every day of your life, the cells of your body manufacture these toxic cancer-causing chemicals.
During the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats, the cells strip away electrons that are converted into
energy through a series of enzymatic reactions known as the Krebs Cycle.
During the liberation of energy, these electrons attach to an oxygen molecule and form a
very toxic chemical called superoxide. A deficiency of ATP in cells can also produce superoxide.
Superoxide, a highly toxic free radical, is a normal end product of everyday metabolism.
Other toxic radicals produced during every day normal metabolism, include: hydrogen peroxide,
lipid peroxy radicals, epoxides and hydroxyl radicals.
Vit C
-------------------------------------------------
However vitamin C, backs up the Cancer Detox System, and can convert the
hydroxyl radical into a harmless substance.
The enzyme called glutathione is the most versatile of all because it can literally detoxify
almost every kind of toxic chemical.
Carotene
-----------------------------
Carotene plays an important role in support of the Cancer Detox System, by its ability to detoxify
a cancer-causing radical called singlet oxygen.
Vitamin E
-------------------------------------
Vitamin E exerts its protective effects against cancer-causing chemicals by its ability to detoxify
the toxic lipid peroxy radicals.
Gultathione
--------------------------------------------
Glutathione is the workhorse of the Cancer Detox System. It can work with the mineral called selenium to
detoxify a wide range of cancer-causing chemicals. This enzyme is constantly being regenerated by
the enzymes called NAD and FAD, which contain niacin and riboflavin.
Prunes
-------------------------------------------------
Prunes (plums): has rejuvenating qualities
plums, tree of life ?
NAC see
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is the pre-acetylized form of the simple amino acid Cysteine.
A powerful antioxidant, a premier antitoxin and immune support substance, and is found naturally in foods.
It is a precursor for glutathione, an important antioxidant that protects cells against oxidative stress.
In addition to maintaining intracellular glutathione levels, NAC supplementation has been shown to s
uppresses Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication, to be protective against cell damage
caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, to be immune enhancing, to protect against toxins
as acetametaphen and other drugs, mercury, lead, and others, and is mucolytic, that is, it breaks
up mucus seen in bronchoulmonary disease as cystic fibrosis,
chronic bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia.
** NAC should be taken with VITC to reduce oxidization , also effective with VIT e
** NAC detoxes liver
** NAC detoxes excess zinc
** Warning: very hard on intestinal track
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are produced by normal metabolic activity.
When free radicals are left unchecked they cause damage to cells and DNA
and are considered by scientists to be a major factor in the aging process.
NAC is a more stable form of L-Cysteine because it has an acetyl group (CH3CO) attached.
NAC has all the properties of L-Cysteine but is more water soluble and said
to be more bioavailable than L-Cysteine.
Produced by the body, N-acetylcysteine (commonly called NAC) is a form of the amino acid cysteine.
Because it enhances the production of the enzyme glutathione, one of the body's powerhouse antioxidants,
NAC can both stave off disease and play an important role in boosting the immune system.
Studies have shown that glutathione levels are often reduced in people with certain conditions
related to the immune system.
For more than three decades, NAC has been used as a mucolytic ("mucus dissolving") agent to help
break up the thick mucus often present in people suffering from chronic respiratory ailments.
When administered intravenously, NAC has also proved invaluable in the treatment of
acetaminophen overdose; it appears to protect the liver from this potentially toxic substance.
Now widely available in supplement form, NAC is currently being recommended for preventing and
treating a wide variety of ailments that may respond to its antioxidant properties.
Supplemental antioxidants--NAC is one of many-- are believed to protect the body's
cells from altered oxygen molecules called free radicals. Damage from free radicals is
thought to be a signficant factor in such degenerative conditions as cancer and heart disease.
Of course, factors other than oxidative damage, such as life style factors and genetic
susceptibility, play strong roles in disease development as well. The hope is that by
reducing susceptibility to free radical damage, a person may further lower susceptibility
to a variety of chronic medical conditions. Incidentally, it is by means of its antioxidant
actions that NAC helps the liver eliminate potentially dangerous environmental
and biological toxins from the body.
NAC is known & marketed as an "anti-amalgam" medicine, because it helps remove (chelate)
mercury from the body. It also generally improves the bodys immune system,
making it better able to fight off disease. It is freely available from health-food
shops in many countries. NAC has neither a sedative or stimulant effect,
and is a safe substance showing excellent tolerance in patients.
ARTHRITIS
=======================================
Arthritis is a situation whereby toxin withheld in a body cause an auto-immune response. Basically what this means are toxin are making your body fight itself. To alleviate these symptoms, one must detox and take anti-inflamatories to alleviate the suffering.
so solution to Allergies = Detox + Anti-Inflammation

2) It is a powerful antioxidant and thus neutralizes free radicals and prevents their formation
3) Important role in immune function via white blood cell production and is one of the most potent anti-viral agents known
4) It is one of the strongest anti-cancer agents manufactured by the body,
5) Glutathione is able to reduce oxidized Vitamin C and Vitamin E back to their unoxidized state,
6) It is used by the liver to detoxify many toxins including formaldehyde, acetaminophen, benzpyrene and many other compounds and plays a key role in Phase I and Phase II detoxification reactions
7) It is an antioxidant necessary for the protection of proteins; is involved in nucleic acid synthesis and plays a role in DNA repair,
8) It maintains the cellular redox potential

MUCOUS/BOWELS - DETOXING
=====================================================================
Mucous , mucous in the stool is symptomatic of an unhealthy diet.
Whatever external (negative) food source is causing our bodies to fight
these pathogens/irritants will create mucous in our bodies: lungs, stools.
For many people, dairy products produce undesirable effects including mucous.
* Psyllium and betonite get rid of mucoid in body - DETOX
* Vegetables and fruits are virtually free of any mucoid forming activity.
They are Nature's purest foods. Exceptions are gas-ripened bananas and sulphured fruit
* LARGE MEALS. Our body's need for food is often much less than what we eat.
Any foods eaten beyond our body's need is a burden.
Some of this excess food will be converted into fat.
Yet the body can create only so much fat per day.
If you eat above digestive capacity, the excess must be eliminated.
During elimination, the lymph glands are overloaded and mucoid forms in response
to putrefaction.
* Fenugreek is a germicidal for the lungs.
It will act as a disinfectant and help to reduce inflammation.
* Slippery elm will cause the loosened phlegm and mucus to ball up,
which helps it move more easily out of the respiratory system.
It also has healing and soothing properties to benefit the lungs.
* Thyme is used mainly for its antiseptic properties, but it also has great expectorant properties.
An expectorant is used to discharge the mucus from the body.
Comfrey root has been used since ancient times for congestion problems. It reduces inflammation and it breaks up congestion in the lungs.
* EATING WITHOUT HUNGER. When food is eaten before complete digestion of the previous meal,partially-digested food will be released into the colon thus causing mucus.
* GULPING FOOD. Improper chewing overworks the digestive system.
If the food particles are too big to be assimilated, they must be eliminated
through the colon. On the way, these particles putrefy, thus causing mucus.
* IMPROPER COMBINATIONS. A typical meal contains starch, protein, sugars and fats,
each requiring a completely, different digestive secretion.
Complex food mixtures create mucus because the food molecules cannot be dissolved efficiently.
POISONS
=========================================================================
To get poisons out of your body you need to chelate them (claw them) out
Here are some chelators:
----------------------------------
1) Selenium - detoxes
2) NAC - NAC chelates (eliminate from body) mercury and other poisons
3) CalMag - Calcium Magnesium + Vitamin D
