“Dairy products aside, current research shows that when past and present meat consumption are factored in, there is three times risk of developing Alzheimer’s in meat eaters as opposed to vegetarians. The investigation into causal trail for Creutzfeldt–Jakob, indistinguishable from Alzheimer’s except for its shorter, lethal course might have grown cold where it not for Roel’s and others who linked mad cow in cattle with M. bovis and related paratuberculosis on clinical, pathologic and epidemiological grounds. The southwest of UK, very cradle of British BSE and CJD outbreaks, saw an exponential increase in bovine tuberculosis just prior to its spongiform outbreaks,” Broxmeyer went on to say.

All of this brings up unthinkable: that Alzheimer’s, Cruetzfeldt–Jackob, and Mad Cow Disease might just be caused by eating meat or dairy in consumer products or feed. “It is only appropriate therefore to explore role of bovine TB and atypical mycobacteria in Alzheimer’s, JCD and Mad Cow disease and develop better serological surveillance for these pathogens,”Lawrence Broxmeyer says.

Lawrence Broxmeyer believes it’s time Congress take a proactive interest in additional research. “In interest of public health, it’s high time our Congressional leaders take an interest in funding additional research.”

Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer, an internist researcher, is currently working in conjunction with several large laboratory research centers in San Francisco and Nebraska is working on a novel technique to kill mycobacteria presently offering resistance to known antibiotics by a novel technique using bacteriophage. He subsequently appeared as lead researcher in Oct 2002 issue of Journal of Infectious Diseases in a paper revolving around this research. He has also written two books published by New Century Press: “AIDS: What Discoverers of HIV Never Admitted” and “Parkinson’s: Is Parkinson’s Disease Caused by Bacteria?” Additional information about Lawrence Broxmeyer and his on-going research can be found at http://medamericaresearch.org.

Weight Fears If you worry that you may put on weight when you stop smoking, make a plan to deal with this possibility before it happens such as :- 1) Increase exercise you currently undertake such as a) If you go to gym, do a few more repititions or push yourself a bit harder b) Introduce a form or exercise that is fun and social such as line dancing, salsa dancing or even a social game of barminton, table tennis etc c) Instead of riding up escalators, get into habit of walking up them d) Instead of taling lift, walk up those flights of stairs 2) Reduce amount you eat. Cut out something like an unncessary snack. May be that biscuit with a cup of coffee 3) Substitute ehealthier foods for fattening ones. Instead of that bag ofd crisps have an apple or better still a citrus fruit such as an orange 4) Introduce more water into your daily lifestyle even if it is just a couple of glasses of water a day. A glass of water that is taken 10 minutes before a meal will take edge of your appetite.

Empathising With Friends 1) Find a more supportive way of helpibng your friend other that jointly poisoning yourselves. This can be by :- a) Making yourself available at anytime on telephone to give your friend support b) Being a non-judgemental and solution orientated listener c) Letting them know you are there for them d) Suggesting forms of help or available support

Timing Choose a time in month when you know you are at your peak physically, emotionally and mentally and not when you are about to enter your cycle. Quitting smoking just after your menstrual cycle and when you are feeling good and on up can be great timing.

We are all different whether men or women and ultimately knowing yourself, what makes you tick and when best time is here for you to stop smoking, is biggest asset to your success.
