The Cholesterol Myth!

October 23, 2011 By

For a while there, Dr. Joe Mercola had me wondering. But in recent months, I have found his reporting to be excellent. Today Dr. Mercola released an opinion on the great cholesterol myth. This happens to be one of my big annoyances in the health industry. Drug dealers working for Big Pharma (your doctors) have been pushing statin drugs for far too long. What got me hot under the collar a few years back was when big pharma pressured Harvard Medical school to put the boots to Dr. Kilmer McCully for his discovery that cholesterol was not the problem. The problem is homocysteine.

It warms to here Dr. Mercola discuss this issue today. Mercola has a large following and will definitely influence a lot of people who have been difficult to convince. Watch this video and enjoy!

New Hope in Antioxidant Research

Protandim

At Hunzama we are always concerned with antioxidant research.  This amazing product deserves some attention.

Abstract

Human saphenous veins (HSVs) are widely used for bypass grafts despite their relatively low long-term patency. To evaluate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling in intima hyperplasia (IH), an early stage pathology of vein-graft disease, and to explore the potential therapeutic effects of up-regulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes, we studied segments of HSV cultured ex vivo in an established ex vivo model of HSV IH. Results showed that HSV cultured ex vivo exhibit an ~3-fold increase in proliferation and ~3.6-fold increase in intimal area relative to freshly isolated HSV.

Treatment of HSV during culture with Protandim, a nutritional supplement known to activate Nrf2 and increase the expression of antioxidant enzymes in several in vitro and in vivo models, blocks IH and reduces cellular proliferation to that of freshly isolated HSV. Protandim treatment increased the activity of SOD, HO-1, and catalase 3-, 7-, and 12-fold, respectively, and decreased the levels of superoxide (O(2)(•-)) and the lipid peroxidation product 4-HNE.

Blocking catalase activity by cotreating with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole abrogated the protective effect of Protandim on IH and proliferation. In conclusion, these results suggest that ROS-sensitive signaling mediates the observed IH in cultured HSV and that up-regulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes can have a protective effect.

Alkalinity: The Records Speaks Volumes

Over the years we’ve been collecting some articles on health and wellness.  We try to access the most up to date articles on the net for your convenience.  As well, we will pool the most relevant collection of videos that relate to health and wellness as well.

This following video is a remarkable story of a young guy who went out with fresh eyes to find out what was going on in the health and wellness industry.  What you will see will shock you.

 
This movie is all about Big Pharma chasing this poor doctor for 14 years in attempts to shut him down. They failed as well they should. As you’ll see, they should have more than failed. They should have been sued for malicious prosecution to the tune of 100 million dollars! And the money should have been given to Dr. Burzynski.

Alkalinity For Life

September 3, 2011 By

Alkalinity – Why Now?

You might be here because  you are sick and tired of feeling so sick and tired.  You are likely one of a growing number of people who now realize that the alkalinity for lifehealthcare business is rigged for you to lose.  It’s like the big spinning wheel at a casino – Never bet against the house!  It’s a big club and “you ain’t in it!”

From the time you are born you are bombarded with messages to render you compliant and obedient.  You grow up learning what to buy, what to wear, how to speak, how to write, who to be friends with, where to work, how much to earn and what to do with your leisure time!  Most of you don’t even realize that you aren’t doing your own thinking.  If you are one of these trained people, then your life is already scripted.

Life Without Alkalinity

You’ll begin to lose your eyesight at 40.  You start to feel aches and pains by 43.  If your are a woman, you will very likely start thinking you have fibromyalgia.  By 50 years old, you will be on at least 6 medications.  You’ll have arthritis, osteoporosis, or irritable bowel syndrome.  You might even have diverticulitis.  By 65, if you are a man, 40% of you will have been to hospital over heart issues.  If you are a woman, you will be on hormone replacement therapy and heading for very serious issues.

Most certainly, many of you will be feeling tired most of the time.  You will have bouts of dizziness, and chances are you will be overweight.  Some of you will even be suffering from heart palpitations.

Most importantly, all of you will have been to your doctor only to discover that all he/she will do is prescribe pharmaceutical drugs to hide the symptoms.  None of them will be interested in talking about alkalinity or about making you into a person of vibrant health and wellness.
