Healthy people 2010

Take a look at yourself and see if you can improve your health in 2010. Over Christmas and New year we all eat and drink too much, it is nice but it has to come to an end.

I know that I have put on weight, and I feel unhealthy. My asthma is worse, as is pain in my stomach, which could indicate my ulcer is returning. I do not smoke which is a good thing. I intend to cut down on alcohol which should also help.

I will start to take Odourless garlic supplements 1000mg. This should help my Ulcer and help with my Asthma. It should also lower my cholesterol level and my blood pressure, which I know has been about 160/100, much too high. It will also lower my resistance to infection such as colds and flu.

So what else can I do?. Exercise is important. I need to do this every day. I will plan to walk about 30 minutes every day. I intend to start doing breathing exercises as explained in an earlier post.

Think positive and think healthy in 2010.

Pain pHree Is Amazing!

This amazing blend of essential oils affects pain in two ways. Most topical pain relievers contain camphor, which can be dangerous over time and offers only an analgesic property, numbing pain. Pain pHree does have a powerful analgesic to ease pain that is safer than camphor. It also has other qualities to enhance its pain relieving effects. Pain pHree addresses pain from stiffness with analgesic oil that increases circulation and stimulates healing. It also addresses pain in a unique way that most topical pain products miss: by reducing inflammation and spasms. One cause of pain is inflammation due to over-acidity of the blood and tissues, which can be caused by various factors, including overuse, repetitive motion, structural or functional imbalances, or acid build up in the tissues from lifestyle and diet. Pain is also often present when there are muscle spasms, or trigger point spasms. Relief from inflammation or spasms will often completely eliminate the pain that they cause locally. Pain pHree contains powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic oil which addresses pain caused by these factors. The use of both pain relieving components makes Pain pHree a superior topical pain relieving product!

Pregnant women should avoid this product due to the Clary Sage content which has been shown to stimulate labor.

Pain pHree comes in a 10ml dropper bottle for $19.95. One bottle contains approximately 200 uses. We want to encourage you to use Pain pHree in as many ways as possible by offering a special discount because we are sure you will love it as much as we do. This special offer is for a limited time only!

On Dr. Robert O. Young and Blood Microscopy

Time is a vampire that flies in the night
like Bela Lugosi, in full flight, with Hungarian
accent, phonetically speaking English,
and oh! with so much feeling!

How the undead can relish delight
when succulent pleasure comes in sight!
The senses flourish, hormones pumping
*seemingly*, without a heart that’s thumping,
coursing blood to all the cells,
drinking water from deeper wells
to keep the land fresh, and irrigated.

You think that he’d feel *irritated*
to be lacking all of that,
But no! like the Cat in the Hat,
he comes back and back and back and back,
smacking his lips on my TV screen
for blood; nearly ready to cream.
It’s definitely a sexual thing –
at least in the sense of satisfying
longing like an itch that scratches
but *way deeper* than sullen patches
of mere desire. No … deeper still,
where hunger joins with fired will
to stoke the furnace, lick the flame,
begin in earnest to try again
to taste the flavor of deeper feeling:
blood that lives, all un-congealing.
How fantasy can be so revealing!
On *many* levels, the *least* of which
is the purely physical .

This Friday, we’ll go to hear and see
a master of live blood microscopy, Dr. Robert O. Young.
He draws some living, vital stuff
then takes a peek, and that’s enough
to tell you what you have been eating,
and therefore how your body’s treating
you like you’ve been treating it:
giving gold for gold and shit for shit!

Right away, he can settle the case –
if your cells are acidic or truly base.
If alkaline, as they should be,
your body functions harmoniously.
If acid, then there’s trouble brewing,
disease and cancers all accruing
there, along with inflammation
at the cellular level. Such degradation
*need not be*; it just reflects
the degree of our ignorant self-neglect.

Create the right environment
internally and life will thrive
harmoniously, to keep alive
what *should* be living,
and fail to support the rest.

“It’s all in the blood”, he says.
And it does indeed seem true:
In the state of perfect balance,
Life Becomes New.--

The Body Fat Setpoint

One pound of human fat contains about 3,500 calories. That represents roughly 40 slices of toast. So if you were to eat one extra slice of toast every day, you would gain just under a pound of fat per month. Conversely, if you were to eat one fewer slice per day, you'd lose a pound a month. Right? Not quite.

How is it that most peoples' body fat mass stays relatively stable over long periods of time, when an imbalance of as little as 5% of calories should lead to rapid changes in weight? Is it because we do complicated calculations in our heads every day, factoring in basal metabolic rate and exercise, to make sure our energy intake precisely matches expenditure? Of course not. We're gifted with a sophisticated system of hormones and brain regions that do the calculations for us unconsciously*.

When it's working properly, this system precisely matches energy intake to expenditure, ensuring a stable and healthy fat mass. It does this by controlling food seeking behaviors, feelings of fullness and even energy expenditure by heat production and physical movements. If you eat a little bit more than usual at a meal, a properly functioning system will say "let's eat a little bit less next time, and also burn some of it off." This is why animals in their natural habitat are nearly always at an appropriate weight, barring starvation. The only time wild animals are overweight enough to compromise maximum physical performance is when it serves an important purpose, such as preparing for hibernation.

I recently came across a classic study that illustrates these principles nicely in humans, titled "Metabolic Response to Experimental Overfeeding in Lean and Overweight Healthy Volunteers", by Dr. Erik O. Diaz and colleagues (1). They overfed lean and modestly overweight volunteers 50% more calories than they naturally consume, under controlled conditions where the investigators could be confident of food intake. Macronutrient composition was 12-42-46 % protein-fat-carbohydrate.

After 6 weeks of massive overfeeding, both lean and overweight subjects gained an average of 10 lb (4.6 kg) of fat mass and 6.6 lb (3 kg) of lean mass. Consistent with what one would expect if the body were trying to burn off excess calories and return to baseline fat mass, the metabolic rate and body heat production of the subjects increased.

Following overfeeding, subjects were allowed to eat however much they wanted for 6 weeks. Both lean and overweight volunteers promptly lost 6.2 of the 10 lb they had gained in fat mass (61% of fat gained), and 1.5 of the 6.6 lb they had gained in lean mass (23%). Here is a graph showing changes in fat mass for each individual that completed the study:

We don't know if they would have lost the remaining fat mass in the following weeks because they were only followed for 6 weeks after overfeeding, although it did appear that they were reaching a plateau slightly above their original body weight. Thus, nearly all subjects "defended" their original body fat mass irrespective of their starting point. Underfeeding studies have shown the same phenomenon: whether lean or overweight, people tend to return to their original fat mass after underfeeding is over. Again, this supports the idea that the body has a body fat mass "set point" that it attempts to defend against changes in either direction. It's one of many systems in the body that attempt to maintain homeostasis.

OK, so why do we care?

We care because this has some very important implications for human obesity. With such a powerful system in place to keep body fat mass in a narrow range, a major departure from that range implies that the system isn't functioning correctly. In other words, obesity has to result from a defect in the system that regulates body fat, because a properly functioning system would not have allowed that degree of fat gain in the first place.

So yes, we are gaining weight because we eat too many calories relative to energy expended. But why are we eating too many calories? Because the system that should be defending a low fat mass is now defending a high fat mass. Therefore, the solution is not simply to restrict calories, or burn more calories through exercise, but to try to "reset" the system that decides what fat mass to defend. Restricting calories isn't necessarily a good solution because the body will attempt to defend its setpoint, whether high or low, by increasing hunger and decreasing its metabolic rate. That's why low-calorie diets, and most diets in general, typically fail in the long term. It's miserable to fight hunger every day.

This raises two questions:

1. What caused the system to defend a high fat mass?
2. Is it possible to reset the fat mass setpoint, and how would one go about it?
   

Given the fact that body fat mass is much higher in many affluent nations than it has ever been in human history, the increase must be due to factors that have changed in modern times. I can only speculate what these factors may be, because research has not identified them to my knowledge, at least not in humans. But I have my guesses. I'll expand on this in the next post.


* The hormone leptin and the hypothalamus are the ringleaders, although there are many other elements involved, such as numerous gut-derived peptides, insulin, and a number of other brain regions.

Gratitude and Appreciation For Life Changing Science

The following is an unsolicited testimony from Tammy Copenhaver. Tammy shares her ten year experience with The pH Miracle Lifestyle, Diet, Supplements, and Dr. Young.

December 24 at 7:28pm

Dear Dr. Young,

I love your Christmas gift suggestions! My gift to you my mentor and friend, is gratitude and appreciation.I had no idea 10 years ago when I listened to Tony Robbins "Get the Edge" and he mentioned a "green drink" that I would someday be so indebted to the man who made that drink.

Thank you for the guidance to help my husband through cancer 9 years ago and inspiring me to further my nursing education to become a Doctor of Naturopathy so that I can empower others as you empowered me. I just finished my final practicum and my educational video will be the first one Clayton College ever used on their website from a student! In it I talk to my 10 year old about swine flu and we begin where I always do with the most important thing to remember, "It's not the germ, it's the terrain".

I have had many wonderful courses but I remain steadfast and committed to spreading your research and knowledge of alkalizing the body. Thank you for all the incredible products you have created that I use and recommend to every client. I have personally seen them help myself, my family, and friends. Liquid Chlorophyll is my current favorite, but I also love pHour salts, the oxygen spray mist, the clay, the Liquid Sliver, Biolight, Metabolean, PH-D3,Etc!

My children have been completely healthy since we started alkalizing and have overcome all the issues they used to struggle with like allergies, ear infections, irritable bowel, and warts. I have been waiting for a long time to meet you in person and tell you how much I appreciate you and how grateful I am to have been blessed with your friendship. Hopefully 2010 will be that year.
Until then, I wish you love, laughter, and all the joy your heart can hold. You are simply the best!

With Love and Respect,

Tammy Copenhaver

Rabbits on a High-Saturated Fat Diet Without Added Cholesterol

I just saw another study that supports my previous post Animal Models of Atherosclerosis: LDL. The hypothesis is that in the absence of excessive added dietary cholesterol, saturated fat does not influence LDL or atherosclerosis in animal models, relative to other fats (although omega-6 polyunsaturated oils do lower LDL in some animal models). This appears to be consistent with what we see in humans.

In this study, they fed four groups of rabbits different diets:

1. Regular low-fat rabbit chow
2. Regular low-fat rabbit chow plus 0.5 g cholesterol per day
3. High-fat diet with 30% calories as coconut oil (saturated) and no added cholesterol
   
4. High-fat diet with 30% calories as sunflower oil (polyunsaturated) and no added cholesterol
   

LDL at 6 months was the same in groups 1, 3 and 4, but was increased more than 20-fold in group 2. It's not the fat, it's the fact that they're overloading herbivores with dietary cholesterol!

Total cholesterol was also the same between all groups except the cholesterol-fed group. TBARS, a measure of lipid oxidation in the blood, was elevated in the cholesterol and sunflower oil groups but not in the chow or coconut groups. Oxidation of blood lipids is one of the major factors in atherosclerosis, the vascular disease that narrows arteries and increases the risk of having a heart attack. Serum vitamin C was lower in the cholesterol-fed groups but not the others.

This supports the idea that saturated fat does not inherently increase LDL, and in fact in most animals it does not. This appears to be the case in humans as well, where long-term trials have shown no difference in LDL between people eating more saturated fat and people eating less, on timescales of one year or more (some short trials show a modest LDL-raising effect, but even this appears to be due to an increase in particle size rather than particle number). Since these trials represent the average of many people, they may hide some individual variability: it may actually increase LDL in some people and decrease it in others.

Merry Christmas!
