 COMMENTARY

Do you really want all this sugar from one drink?

The following two articles say it all about the dangers of sugar. If you need a nudge to get away from sugar these articles will do it.

Would you eat a stack of 16 sugar cubes? There are many more visuals to show just how much sugar is in what you eat.

Big Sugar Tips Balance of Scale 

“There is no shortage of research linking excessive sugar consumption with obesity, and the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages appears to have a particularly strong link.It was five years ago when UCLA researchers found that adults who drank at least one sugar-sweetened beverage a day are 27 percent more likely to be overweight or obese. Even those who only drank soda occasionally had a 15 percent greater risk, and a growing number of studies have linked rising childhood obesity rates to increased consumption of sugary beverages as well.”

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D Supplements Reduce Pain in Fibromyalgia Sufferers From this article, I learned that depression and anxiety are part of Fibromyalgia. This is the root of the disease! It is spiritual, and when the Lord Jesus heals the person of the depression etc, then the body is able to heal!. Fibromyalgia is just a symptom of a spiritual problem that appears to be a broken heart. If anyone is suffering from Fibromyalgia along with depression and anxiety, I am willing to pray with them. You can email me at [email protected]

So many people suffer from this, and yet Vitamin D3 can really help with the physical problems! Jesus Christ needs to heal the spiritual problem. The never ending benefits of Vitamin D3.

“Twenty-four weeks after supplementation was stopped, a marked reduction in the level of perceived pain occurred in the treatment group. Between the first and the 25th week on supplementation, the treatment group improved significantly on a scale of physical role functioning, while the placebo group remained unchanged. The treatment group also scored significantly better on a Fibromalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) on the question of “morning fatigue.” However, there were no significant alterations in depression or anxiety symptoms.”

How much Vitamin D   A discussion about how much Vitamin D3 is good and  how much is too much.

Can vitamin D improve the severity of congestive heart failure?

Sunlight and vitamin D, do they trigger rosacea? I doubt this, but research will tell.

“Patients with rosacea have relatively high serum vitamin D levels compared to control groups. The result of our study suggests that increased vitamin D levels may lead to the development of rosacea. To confirm status of vitamin D levels in patients with rosacea, larger epidemiological studies are needed.”

Several Forms of Vitamin E Protect Against Memory Disorders If you follow this blog, you remember that not long ago the Babylonians were demonizing this vitamin, but the truth keeps coming out of how valuable this is for our health.

Vitamin C Kills TB Cells This was proven in test tubes.

Antioxidant Spices, Like Turmeric and Cinnamon, Reduce Negative Effects of High-Fat Meal  Adding spices to a high-fat meal reduced triglyceride response by about 30 percent, compared to a similar meal with no spices added.

“We know we need to eat healthfully, but in most cases we don’t know the actual mechanistic reasons for why we need to do that,” said Andrea Doseff, associate professor of internal medicine and molecular genetics at Ohio State and a co-lead author of the study. “We see here that the beneficial effect on health is attributed to this dietary nutrient affecting many proteins. In its relationship with a set of specific proteins, apigenin re-establishes the normal profile in cancer cells. We think this can have great value clinically as a potential cancer-prevention strategy.”

What Are ORAC Values?  ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It’s a lab test that attempts to quantify the “total antioxidant capacity” (TAC) of a food. This is a very important value for reducing oxidation in your body. The oxidation causes inflammation and disease.

So ‘Vitamins don’t work,’ eh? This is in response to the recent attack on vitamins by the Babylonians.

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt on Lyme Disease  Since chronic infection is an underlying factor in most chronic illnesses, diseases such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue are all turning out to be expressions of chronic infection.  Lyme disease needs a new approach.

“Is there a  “longevity gene.” Sampling the genetic material of centenarians, researchers have seen strong correlations with several genes and the likelihood of living to 100. Two of them are involved in fat metabolism, a third in calcium metabolism.”

 Fluoroquinolone antibiotics,could, carry a risk for permanent peripheral neuropathy  New FDA warning!

“If you believe you have experienced a reaction to one of these antibiotics—or any other drug, for that matter—please report it to MedWatch, the FDA’s safety information and adverse event reporting program. It is vital that they hear from each and every one of you who has experienced an adverse drug reaction. This is a major impetus in getting dangerous drugs removed from the market, and physicians almost never report the reactions themselves so it’s really up to you. MedWatch offers several reporting options:”

• Telephone 1-800-FDA-1088
• Fax to 1-800-FDA-0178
• File a report online: MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form
• Mail a report (FDA form 3500) in a postage-paid envelope to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852-9787

75 Percent of Patients Taking Popular Blood-Thinners On Wrong Dose There are many natural ways to thin blood that have no side effects, but the Babylonians refuse to use them, as there is no profit in this. Garlic, olive oil and natural Vitamin E are a great combination for the blood.

“Millions of Americans with coronary artery disease take one of the two drugs — clopidogrel (Plavix) and prasugrel (Effient) — to prevent harmful blood clots that can cause a stroke or heart attack. Current guidelines recommend that all patients take the same standardized dose. But in this new study of 521 patients, researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that dose is not effective for all patients.”

Heart Health

Diet Helps Heart Failure Patients  The low-sodium DASH diet dramatically lowered high blood pressure and improved heart function in patients with a common type of heart failure, according to research presented at a meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America.
Heart Disease Test May Predict Dementia Better than Cognitive Tests  Heart disease and dementia have similar risk factors read and become educated

“The sooner you realize that your entire body is interconnected, and imbalances or damage occurring within it can impact your health on multiple levels, including leading to numerous chronic diseases, the better.

This is certainly the case with heart disease, stroke and dementia, which share several underlying risk factors; for instance, arterial plaque. If plaque builds up in your carotid arteries, the blood flow to your brain can be compromised, since your carotids are the primary arteries serving your brain.”

 A new role for sodium in the brain  Sodium affects more than heart health.

 “Researchers at McGill University have found that sodium — the main chemical component in table salt — is a unique “on/off” switch for a major neurotransmitter receptor in the brain. This receptor, known as the kainate receptor, is fundamental for normal brain function and is implicated in numerous diseases, such as epilepsy and neuropathic pain.”

For those who love the Lord Jesus and are looking for His coming, the following is their future:

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away
