Careening Radicals are Bouncing Around

Written by Lena Sanchez


Are you practicing prevention? Prevention is always better than spending thousands of dollars because of ill health!

Prevention starts with Vitamins along with liquid or powdered minerals! Withoutrepparttar proper amounts you are opening yourself up to free radicals! Reason why was noted as far back as 1936… See US Congress messaged at http://www.envirodocs.com/1936_excerpt.htm

Free radicals careen around wildly like unguided missiles, damaging everything they touch and causing a chain reaction of trauma. It is now well established that free radicals are a critical factor in many health problems, including hardening ofrepparttar 115870 arteries, which can lead to conditions involvingrepparttar 115871 heart, eyes and bone/joint health (Knight 1995) & (Cures, Robert Willix, M.D. 1994)

A most interesting fact about free radicals is that they causerepparttar 115872 same reactions within cells that occur during exposure to radiation, andrepparttar 115873 results of these reactions are indistinguishable from those of natural aging (Riley 1994). Consequently, it has been suggested that certain compounds known to protect against radiation damage also would be useful antioxidants and may even be beneficial for increasing life span.

Free radicals are even suspect to be an important mechanism of aging;repparttar 115874 more of them that are running amok,repparttar 115875 greaterrepparttar 115876 vulnerability of healthy cells. However, there's a way to take back your power, uprepparttar 115877 odds in your favor and defeat this deadly force.

Free radicals are not always harmful; they're used byrepparttar 115878 immune system to destroy many invading microorganisms. In bone and joint problemsrepparttar 115879 body's own antibodies begin to attackrepparttar 115880 joints, causing cellular damage, as they are unleashed byrepparttar 115881 body upon itself (Barber 1994).

But free radicals tend to react with cellular DNA, often causingrepparttar 115882 DNA strand to actually break. There is also strong evidence that FREE RADICALS may not only initiate DNA mutations, but also encourage damaged cells to multiply.

Dr. Denham Harman, M.D. PhD founder of Free Radical Theory of Aging feels thatrepparttar 115883 free radical reactions play a significant role inrepparttar 115884 age-related deterioration ofrepparttar 115885 cardiovascular and central nervous systems. Free radical reactions also may be significantly involved inrepparttar 115886 formation ofrepparttar 115887 neuritic plaques associated with senile dementia ofrepparttar 115888 Alzheimer type. In studies, these plaques were more prevalent in senile people than in those who were not senile. Studies are ongoing in that department.

Brain Power Versus Computer

Written by Lena Sanchez


Your brain uses almost 20% of allrepparttar oxygen you take into your lungs. Your blood carriesrepparttar 115869 oxygen to your brain. This is why clogged arteries cause memory loss and organizational skills impairment. Today's society is a fast food society and fast foods are basically void of nutrients and full of artery clogging fats.

You hear a great deal these days about information processing - usually has "new age technology" tacked ontorepparttar 115870 end of it usually referring torepparttar 115871 revolution that has occurred using computers to communicate. Communication is a very important part of life, whether it be a husband to wife or parent to child, company to employees, clients to customers it still remainsrepparttar 115872 most important thing we need to do. The computer does not hold that power only as a tool for long distance communication. The real true communicator is - The "Brain" and it's power may still be compared to computers as we know them butrepparttar 115873 brain is a much older and definitely more powerful form of information processing and communication. Our brain is ofrepparttar 115874 utmost importance in our lives and without it working up to par you are a either a vegetable or retarded.

When growing up (inrepparttar 115875 olden day as my children and grandchildren call it), there was no such thing as a computer, calculator, TV etc.. We communicated by talking to each other, writing, playing games and visiting others while really communicating and socializing. Learning about each other.

Even though we may still compare our brain to our computer there is a vast difference in what we actually process in our brain and in our computer but not so different really. Becauserepparttar 115876 nutrition put into our brain is equivalent torepparttar 115877 electrical current put into our computers that makes them work. Withoutrepparttar 115878 electrical current being completedrepparttar 115879 computer won't work… Without proper nutrients torepparttar 115880 brain it won't function well either.

Lets comparerepparttar 115881 two -computer versus brain - by saying if you don't have an electrical outlet to plug your computer into or a battery pack to providerepparttar 115882 electrical current there will be no information data input or output fromrepparttar 115883 computer. Byrepparttar 115884 same token, our brain needs electrical power not from an electrical plug-in but from nutrition. The saying goes for computers, "garbage in, garbage out." Our brain is repparttar 115885 same way, "garbage in, garbage out." What are you feeding your brain?

Your brain uses 50% of your energy and only occupies a small portion of your total body volume, yet isrepparttar 115886 most important organ in your body. If you are tired frequently, it could very well be that you are not feeding your brain properly. Are you forgetting things that shouldn't be forgotten? Could be a malnourished brain. Your brain and body requires complete minerals and trace minerals to function on all cylinders. Are you putting them all in or are you putting inrepparttar 115887 three nutrients that are in our fruits, grains and vegetables gleaned from their fertilizers? Or are you putting in allrepparttar 115888 chemicals and hormones fed our animals to fatten them and make them worth more dollars? It now takes more than our foodstuff to give our brainrepparttar 115889 nourishment required to function properly.

After World War IIrepparttar 115890 farmers were told thatrepparttar 115891 new fertilizers would produce better and more crops than repparttar 115892 natural (manure) fertilizers they had used prior to that.

Exactly what happened?

Graduallyrepparttar 115893 natural (manure) went byrepparttar 115894 way side taking with itrepparttar 115895 nutrients that they put intorepparttar 115896 ground and had been supplying us with a complete nutrient base. Chemical manmade fertilizers have all of three nutrients, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. What happened to repparttar 115897 other 91, which our bodies need?

This also set up a chain reaction with our food animals as well. The feed they are fed now has only those three nutrients absorbed fromrepparttar 115898 fertilizers along withrepparttar 115899 chemicals and hormones, which are added to fatten them, therefore preventrepparttar 115900 natural (manure) fertilizers from containingrepparttar 115901 nutrients of old! Setting up a viscous cycle! There are some nutrients added torepparttar 115902 animal feed, usually 7 to 23, but notrepparttar 115903 complete 94 as required by our bodies to be healthy. The following was taken directly from Website Southwest Livestock Mineral Company . "We blend for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats (Boer, Milk, and angora) and swine. Our custom minerals for domestic consumers carry a consumption guarantee. We have FDA clearances for many medications including Bovatec®, Rumensin®, Rumatel®, Mecadox®, Banmith®, Deccox®, and several antibiotics."

Tests with animals have shown that by withholding certain nutrients from their diets they forget tricks that they had learned and usually could perform with no problem. In both animals and humans, aging compoundsrepparttar 115904 problem of memory loss and retention - doesn't have to - later on I will show you why. Inrepparttar 115905 early 1950's large numbers of animals - cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens and turkeys - began getting diseases never before seen in animals, such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc. In most cases veterinary scientist tracedrepparttar 115906 cause to specific nutritional deficiencies. Today all feed for animals have added nutrients to eliminate a large portion of those illnesses and diseases along with some not so good added chemicals in their foodstuff as you can see above.

Todayrepparttar 115907 chemicals used onrepparttar 115908 farms and fed torepparttar 115909 cattle and sheep inrepparttar 115910 form of nutrients are taking its toll on our bodies and minds. For what affects our minds also effects our bodies!

Here is an excerpt fromrepparttar 115911 United States Government in 1936 - Verbatim fromrepparttar 115912 Farm Land Depletion Senate Document #264 of 1936; "Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume…." It goes on to say, "Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance." "No man today can eat enough fruits, vegetable and grains to supply his stomach withrepparttar 115913 mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them! And we are turning into big stomachs." (End of Excerpt)
