Positive Impact Of Doing Any Physical Activity Reconfirmed

A study from Stockholm Sweden published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who were 60 years old who were physically active but didn’t exercise regularly had lower cardiovascular disease risk than less active people.

The study followed 4,232 for 12.5 years. The folks who were more physically active from doing daily activities had a 30% lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 27% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. So…even if you aren’t doing an exercise program, make sure you stay physically active.

A Use For Chocolate That You’d Never Expect
 

A study reported at the American Dental Association 2013 Annual Session compared fluoride toothpaste against a new toothpaste that contains the naturally-occurring cacao extract theobromine. That’s right, were talking brushing your teeth with chocolate. The patients in this study brushed their teeth with this chocolate extract for one week.

The researchers found that even in one week the patients tooth dentin became re-mineralized and repaired. Other research found that the remineralization occurred at a greater rate than fluoride while it made teeth less vulnerable to bacterial acid erosion that could lead to cavities.

Since fluoride can be toxic when swallowed as well as cause a child’s teeth to become disfigured, so…when this chocolate product comes on the market, brush away!
 

A Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases Being Ignored

Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, lupus, psoriasis, Crohn’s and many others, cause significant pain and disability. Supposedly, autoimmune diseases are the body’s immune system attacking itself. The treatment by docs is to use powerful, toxic medications.

There’s another and better option. More than 70 years ago, rheumatologist Thomas McPherson Brown, MD discovered small microorganisms in the joint fluid of patients with RA called mycoplasma. This mycoplasma lacks a cell wall is resistant to penicillin and several other antibiotics.

Dr. Brown discovered that mycoplasma was sensitive to low dose tetracycline. Over 50 years, he treated around 10,000 patients with these low doses and reported a 90% success rate. There have been over 200 studies published validating this approach. The definitive study on the impact of a low dose antibiotic from the tetracycline family was published in 1995 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. More than half of patients had improvements of at least 50% in joint tenderness and they had even greater reductions in inflammation.

Sounds great doesn’t it? Well, the only problem is docs are not using this approach with their patients. Researchers looked at the medical records of nearly 16,000 RA patients and found only 9% were being treated with these low dose antibiotics. So…if you or a loved one has an autoimmune disease, do your own research and ask your doc for a low dose antibiotic from the tetracycline family.

 We’ve Been Fooled By The Warnings To Reduce Fat

We’ve all heard that we should be eating low fat foods to reduce heart disease and obesity. Well, it turns out that this advice has been wrong. An editorial published in the Archives of Internal Medicine was by Dr. William Castelli, a former director of the Framingham Heart Study. Dr. Castelli, talked about the study’s findings. (The Framingham Study has been following the residents of the town of Framingham for several generations).

What he said, based on the Framingham research, is that the more saturated fat, the more cholesterol and the more calories one ate, the lower a person’s serum cholesterol. They found that the people who ate the most fats, cholesterol and calories weighted the least and were the most physically active.

A 30-year study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers from Harvard confirmed the positive impact from eating nuts. The researchers tracked 119,000 men and women and found that those who ate nuts almost every day were 20% less likely to die from any cause during the study. Cancer deaths decreased 11% and the nut eaters also stayed slimmer. So…it might sound nutty, but every day, grab a hand full of nuts. Enjoy!

  Another Way To Live Longer and Healthier

A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine evaluated the medical records of 10,670 women participating in the Nurse’s Health Study who were in their late 50s and early 60s. Fifteen years later the researchers rechecked their original and current food questionnaires.

The researchers found that those who followed the Mediterranean diet, which is low in saturated fats, high in monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats (omega-3 fatty acids) and high in fruits, veggies, legumes, whole grains and fish, had 46% greater odds for healthy aging into their 70s verse those who didn’t follow this diet approach. This means that into their 70s these people had no major chronic diseases or impairments in cognitive, physical function or mental health.

So You’ve Got The Flu Or A Cold?

There’s a juice that will reduce the impact of colds and flu. It’s called black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) and it has a long history as a folk remedy. Now, there is research backing up its effectiveness. Research published in Biosci Biotehnol Biochem found that mice infected through the nose with the flu virus recovered much more quickly when given black elderberry.

The researchers found that elderberry suppressed the flu virus’s ability to replicate while it also stimulated the body’s immune response. So…catching a cold or the flu, have some elderberry in the house.

What One Of My Clients Had To say About The Impact of My Program

I recently spoke to the Virginia Pest Management Association. Here is what Andrea Coron, Executive Director, had to say about the impact of my General Session program “You are one of the few speakers whose presentation is really showing people things that they have never seen before, in ways they’ve never seen, but with instant applications for improving themselves as leaders.

Usually when a speaker is finished, people focus on the next program tucking away their reaction for a later time. In you case, there was a buzz about your presentation and demonstrations that people were still talking about into the next day.”

Questions On The American Heart Association's New Cholesterol Guidelines

The American Heart Association just issued new guidelines for taking cholesterol lowering drugs that will cause millions of Americans to take drugs. There was a article in Forbes that reported on conflicts of interest by receiving money from the drug companies by six members of the panel including the chairperson that made the recommendations. To read the full Forbes report, go to

http://www.forbes.com/sites/edsilverman/2013/11/20/thenew-cholesterol-guidelines-and-conflicts-of-interest/.

In addition, they AHA set up a risk calculator that you enter your data and it says if you should be taking the drugs. A cardiologist, Steven Nissen, at the Cleveland Clinic entered data from hypothetical patients into the calculator and he got results that he said were implausible and dramatically overestimated the number of people who should be taking these cholesterol lowering drugs. The bottom line this means great profits to the drug companies and patients taking more medications that can have harmful side effects. So…be careful if your doc says you meet the new guidelines.
