Why body odor reveals your true health habits: Here's how to reduce odor and enhance health

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

In other words, if your body is emitting nontoxic waste products, it's just perspiring excess minerals and normal healthy metabolic byproducts. That means the bacteria living in your armpits are not going to be as offensive as the ones that might be living there if your skin is emitting toxic byproducts of animal product digestion. I encourage you to take the 48-hour no-deodorant test, because it really will tell you something about your internal health.

Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition

Hyla Cass, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts
Increased "burning" of nutrients. Nutrients are essential to the metabolic activities of every cell in your body. They are used up in the process and replaced by new nutrients that you take in as food or supplements. Some drugs deplete nutrients by speeding up the rate at which this occurs, examples being antibiotics (including penicillin and gentamicin), and steroid drugs like prednisone and colchicine (used to treat gout). 4. Blocking of nutrients' effects or production at the cellular level.

They get more B vitamins and more minerals like calcium, magnesium and zinc... they also get more fiber and healthy oils. These are all nutrients attainable from the whole grain, but that are hardly present at all in refined grain. That's why I'm very happy to see this number at 40.5 percent. Giving up unhealthy foods and beverages Now here's a number that's astonishing: Forty-three point one percent reported quitting their consumption of soft drinks.

John Hammell of International Advocates for Health Freedom discusses health freedom under siege; Part 1

He put me on a very specific nutritional regimen of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements, hormones and herbs as well. He made various dietary recommendations that changed my way of eating. He asked me if I had a history of drug abuse, and I did not because I had been an athlete and I did not use street drugs. He said, "Well, you are very lucky. You just might succeed in smuggling these vitamins back into the hospital. But if you get them inside, you better hide them, because if they catch you with them they will confiscate them.

Medical myths explained: Why health researchers mistakenly think one disease causes another

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

More specifically, the consumption of foods and beverages that actually deplete the body of its essential nutrients, and the lack of foods and beverages that provide good nutrition -- the vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids, fiber and all the other elements that the human body needs in order to be healthy and free of chronic disease. Today, the conventional medical community is looking at these disease correlations, such as the correlation between diabetes and heart disease, and using that as a justification to more aggressively treat the symptoms of one of those diseases.

Breakthrough wellness supplements, part three: Wellness Support Network

It's absurd, as Tums is an antacid, and you need gastric acid to digest any minerals, including calcium. But it just goes to show you how much some people lack basic nutritional information. A food-based form of calcium would serve those people much better, and they might actually begin to see improved results with their bone health. Although it's important to note that bone mineral density is not merely caused by calcium deficiency; it's also caused by drinking coffee and sugary sodas, eating refined sugars or lacking sufficient vitamin D.

Breakthrough wellness supplements, part two: Wellness Resources

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
With each ingredient used in their formulas, from minerals like calcium and magnesium, to vitamin E and specialty nutrients like Phosphatidylserine (PS) or hyaluronic acid (HA), Wellness Resources consistently uses the most potent and highly-purified forms of each ingredient. To me, that's impressive, since so many of the larger, more popular supplement companies tend to use the cheapest forms of ingredients available (like ultra-cheap calcium carbonate, which is about the same as chewing up sea shells).

Everybody's guide to homeopathic medicines

Stephen Cummings and Dana Ullman
See book keywords and concepts
Schussler's theory is that these simple minerals are largely responsible for harmonious function of physiological processes, and that disease results when the body is deficient in these minerals or when their metabolism is disordered. He thought that such problems could be corrected by supplying the appropriate mineral, homeopathically prepared. These theories of disease appear antiquated and simplistic in light of modern understanding of physiology.

What if they had some supergreens or just some basic vitamins, minerals and whole food concentrates? What could we do for the health of their brains? They would have stable moods, they would have non-aggressive behavior, and they would be more creative and more willing to learn. We could raise a whole generation of healthy, intelligent children if we started with nutrition, because the brain and nervous system are physical organs. People forget that.

What remains is mostly protein, with some residual minerals and a trace of fat. The powder is bland, highly digestible, and easy to add to shakes and other recipes. It can be used as an emulsifier, binding fat and water together and lending a creamy texture. Plain or flavored versions are available in health food stores. The powder keeps well without refrigeration. SOY SAUCE (LOW-SODIUM) Soy sauce, which originated in China, is one of the oldest condiments in the world.

The safety of high chromium doses has not been as extensively studied as that of other minerals. Studies using chromium for diabetes treatment often exceed the amounts recommended by the US government, using doses of up to 1,000 micrograms per day. Individuals with impaired liver or kidney function may be at risk for adverse effects and should probably stay well below this level. The long-term benefits and risks of chromium supplementation are not known. Most typical multivitamins easily provide you with adequate chromium.

And you're taking the maca for the phytosterols and minerals. The maca energy -- we don't exactly know which constituent in maca is responsible for that -- is for the hormonal balance. But that is the effect: The hormonal balancing. So you're working with different parts of the body to produce an overall well-being. Mike: What are the most popular uses your customers are putting these products to? Are they blending them with protein shakes? How are they using the product? Shamai: They're using it as a base for protein shakes.

It's 100 percent live here – there's no compromise – and well-hydrated, low-glycemic and high-mineralized because minerals are frequencies of consciousness according to their constitution. One of the biggest mistakes people make is they say there's one way to eat. Well, there isn't. We have 25,000 different genes and somewhere between 100,000 and 1.4 million genetic variations. You think there's one diet for all that? Of course not, so we try to help people tune into whether they need a high-protein diet, a low-protein diet, this-that variations and then eat in moderation.

New antiviral bird flu product hits the market, receives Health Ranger's independent recommendation

The ingredients are all top anti-viral herbs, foods and minerals. They are: Ginger Onion Garlic (equivalent to an astonishing 30 cloves of garlic in every bottle) Olive leaf Horseradish Habanero Zinc Grapefruit seed extract Wild mountatin oil of oregano Alcohol and apple cider vinegar (base liquids for the extracts) This combination offers a massive, broad-spectrum defense against virtually any viral load.

President Bush's bird flu plan fails to teach people how to really protect themselves from a global pandemic

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
If you want to protect yourself (and your family), you have to teach yourself how to reduce your viral load using natural healing therapies (specific foods, herbs, minerals, products, etc.). And then stock up on what you need as an insurance policy. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's very effective against viruses. Does it absolutely guarantee it will protect you from the bird flu pandemic? Of course not. There are no such guarantees.
I've also written a larger book, How to Beat the Flu which goes into more detail and lists the top antiviral foods, herbs, products, and vitamins / minerals. These is the book to get if you want to know EXACTLY what to buy to prepare for the bird flu virus. (And by the way, I don't sell any antiviral products, and I earn no money on the antiviral products I recommend.) In addition, all the articles and commentary I've written on the bird flu are indexed on www.BirdFluReport.org. There, you'll find articles and news headlines that keep up with the latest news on this potential pandemic.

Vitamin warning! Some nutritional supplements use hydrogenated oils as filler

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
I recommend you spend your money wisely on nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs from passionate, honest companies you can trust. Of course, they're going to be slightly more expensive, if not a lot more expensive. But aren't you worth it? If you're going through the trouble of taking these supplements, shouldn't you put the best thing you can find into your body? Don't you deserve healthy supplements, rather than supplements packaged with hydrogenated oils and other poisons that are legalized by our system of corrupt government and private industry?
It could be something that's actually dangerous to your health, so you'd better read the ingredients labels on those vitamins, minerals and supplements, in addition to reading the ingredients labels on foods, as I've always recommended. Watch out! Just because you buy something that looks good on the label – something that claims to have flax oil, salmon oil or vitamin B in it – it doesn't mean it's actually good for you. How to put a negative spin on healthy vitamins: Use cheap vitamins to skew results Now, of course, researchers have also figured all this out.

It will make your body more acidic and deplete it of certain nutrients -- like vitamins, minerals and other nutrients -- that are necessary for enzymatic reactions. However, if you make good decisions at the grocery store and choose, for example, to purchase healthy oils -- like macadamia nut oil, olive oil, flax seed oil or even unprocessed coconut oil -- then your chemistry is going to be much healthier. Your blood chemistry profile will be positive rather than negative. It will indicate health rather than disease.

You have to be wise enough as a consumer to know that wholefood concentrates are loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and other elements that have a healing effect on your body. With the raspberry concentrates in this product, you have another complementary fruit concentrate that has a variety of healing phytonutrients. So you've got blueberries and raspberries together here -- it's a little bit like eating a few berries from the orchard.

They contend that if fiber intake is too high our bodies are not able to absorb as much iron and related minerals, which are essential for health. The fiber may bind with these nutrients and carry them through our system before we are able to digest them. They say that the maximum level of fiber intake should be around thirty to thirty-five grams per day, which is only about the average intake of the rural Chinese. We studied this iron/fiber issue very carefully in the China Study. As it turns out, fiber is not the enemy of iron absorption as so many experts claim it to be.

People have to understand that there are good carbohydrates out there, and we need them, because they contain our antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. We need our fruits and our vegetables. They aren't the bad culprits -- it's the processed carbs. Not all fat is bad. We're learning that there is good fat. Taking omega-3 fats, mono-saturated fats and vegetable fats in their healthy state will actually lower LDL cholesterol. They lower total cholesterol and raise your good HDL. For proteins, it's the same thing. There is good protein out there, and there is bad protein.

I've tested mine on numerous occasions, and you know, even being on a raw foods diet wasn't as powerful as cutting out a lot of the sugars, and I don't just mean white sugar, obviously, or the raw cane sugar, but I even mean the high-glycemic fruits, such as dates and honey, things that I was eating a lot of beforehand, before going on to a lower-glycemic, healing-based diet and also including nutrient-dense minerals in my diet and certainly lots of greens. I got my green needs met very much so at the Tree of Life, but also by using supplemental powders.

A call to action: how we can beat the European Food Supplements Directive

And that's why your vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements are now being stripped away. It's all an effort to isolate you from the free cures for disease provided by Mother Nature, thereby forcing you to submit to patent medications (prescription drugs). If there were ever a time to rise up and stage a health freedom revolt, this is it. This is a cause worthy of a fight, because you're fighting for the protection of the very laws of nature. Basic human biochemistry demands that we intake certain nutrients in order to live.

Our super-multi formula, called Energy, is comprised of 36 strategic vitamins, minerals, amino acids and digestives. They're diabetic-safe and have no artificial sweeteners or stimulants of any sort. Children can take them. Mike: What's the sweetener in it? Kunin: We have one gram of fructose, so it has no effect on the glycemic index. Mike: Well, very low. Kunin: Yes, it's very safe for diabetics. There's a gram of glycine in the product, which is a tremendous help for people who have sugar concerns; it helps manage your blood sugar.

Especially important are the B vitamins and the minerals magnesium, chromium, zinc, and manganese. The use of multiple vitamin and mineral supplements is associated with at least a 30 percent reduction of diabetes risk in men and a 16 percent reduction in risk for women; however, the supplements used in these studies are in our opinion far from ideal.19 In Appendix H on pages 325-327 we provide our recommendations for selecting a high-quality formula, while a more in-depth discussion of the role of individual nutrients helpful in fighting diabetes is provided in Chapter 7.

Much of the effective treatment for chronic fatigue involves nutrients—amino acids, minerals, other vitamins. They're given by injection because they haven't been getting in by the usual route—the stomach and the rest of the digestion. But that doesn't mean that stomach malfunction is the entire cause of chronic fatigue. We also need to take a look at allergies and sensitivities—especially to foods—and at thyroid and adrenal malfunction. All of these are common trouble spots in chronic fatigue." "I've had my thyroid checked 2 or 3 times I think, just look in those papers.

The Pill also depletes vitamins (B vitamins, vitamin A) and minerals (zinc, magnesium, manganese, and iron) and tends to increase copper levels. There is also statistical evidence that the Pill increases the chance of a yeast overgrowth. Combine antibiotics and the Pill and there may be a synergistic negative effect within the intestine, thereby increasing the risk not only of food intolerance but also of yeast overgrowth.

Are you taking any vitamins or minerals, Jason." "Yeah." "Which ones?" "Don't know." "For now, I'm just giving him vitamin C and a multiple vitamin. After I read your book, I was thinking about zinc, but then there's what you wrote about zinc and copper balance, so I thought I'd wait until I talked to you." "Zinc is a good place to start. In small quantities for short periods of time, we usually don't need to worry about zinc-copper balance. But for acne, 30 milligrams of zinc three times a day for several months is usually necessary, so we'll make sure to check copper levels along the way.
