Sugar, Cholesterol, and Plaque Explained

Sugar -> Inflammation -> Increased Cholesterol -> Plaque

That of course is over-simplified for the sake of our discussion, but it is true.  Let’s explore why too much sugar is a bad thing.  When your blood sugar becomes elevated (by eating to much sugar/carbohydrates) your body realizes it has more fuel than you need, so your body releases the hormone insulin to store that extra fuel for use in the future.  This excess sugar is stored as saturated fat (triglycerides).  In the continued presence of high blood sugar and high insulin, your body becomes resistant to the insulin and your blood sugar remains unchecked, meaning both insulin and blood sugar are high.  You are now inflamed.

Heartburn drugs under fire

Common heartburn drugs are under fire, as a series of studies from the Archives of Internal Medicine released on Monday demonstrating serious side effects such as increase in fractures and bacterial infections.

Collectively, these drugs are called proton pump inhibitors, but they are better known as Nexium (AstraZeneca), Prilosec (AstraZeneca), Protonix (Pfizer), and Prevacid (Takeda).  These medicines have a total U.S. sales of 13.9 billion annually, as an estimated 113 million prescriptions are filled each year.  Dr. Michael Katz, director for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, states that 60 to 70 percent of people taking proton pump inhibitors do not need to be on them.  This problem is augmented by people being unaware of the risk until now.   (more…)

To Live a Long and Happy Life We Must Change

I just read a research paper from Medical Examiners in Florida stating that prescription medication (legal drugs) kills 300% more Americans than Illegal drugs annually. Why do we as a nation continue to put toxins in our body? It is POISON!

What would happen if you gave medication to a healthy person? Would they not become sick? Why then would you give it to a sick person? We say we have a “health care crisis” but continue to use the same medical interventions…that is insanity defined (doing the same thing and expecting a different result). We consume 90% of the worlds pharmaceuticals and are near the bottom in overall health, yet are still slow to seek change. Real change would be decreasing our reliance on medicine and taking responsibility for our own health…NOT getting on the latest and greatest new superpill.   (more…)
