Total Health Breakthroughs: Free Natural Health Newsletter and Alternative Health Articles

Three years ago, no one believed me… they said it was impossible.

Now the buzz is about to spread over the entire country.

I was the first to bring my patients the high-powered version of CoQ10, which I call Accel. Now, the rest of the country will find out how to turn on and keep the power of youth.

The media blitz started October 5th and will include TV commercials on 12 cable channels around the country: ABC Family, BBC America, Biography, Discovery Health, E!, GAC, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie, Oxygen, Soapnet, Style and WE.

The nationwide ad campaign expands two weeks later to include time during Oprah and Good Morning America. This is exciting news.

I’m thrilled Accel is finally getting the recognition it deserves. And I’m honored to have been one of the first doctors in the country to offer such a powerful and remarkable breakthrough.

In an episode of the TV comedy Seinfield, Kramer develops a kidney stone.

“What is that, anyway?” asks Jerry.

“It’s a stony mineral concretion,” replies Kramer quite accurately, “formed abnormally in the kidney. And this jagged shard of calcium pushes its way through the ureter into the bladder. It’s forced out through the urine!”

“Oh,” says Jerry, “that’s gotta hurt.”

If you can imagine having to urinate a quarter inch or larger rock-solid and jagged crystal, you can understand what kind of pain this would cause. It’s definitely something to be avoided. Yet many people, trying to prevent osteoporosis, are inviting this very condition — while doing little to help their bone mass.

Osteoarthritis (OA) can affect any joint in your body but it usually occurs in your hands, hips, knees, and spine. The cause is thought to be a combination of factors including obesity, age, joint injury, heredity, and muscle weakness.

Many experts also agree that a breakdown of your immune system may be to blame. This can happen when viruses attack your joints and for some reason your immune system cannot fight back.

CoQ10 is the one supplement I take every day, without fail.

New evidence of an even greater benefit is pouring in. And over the next couple of weeks, I’ll tell you about some of the amazing discoveries happening in CoQ10 research.

CoQ10 is a powerful cancer fighter.

Researchers in Tokyo gave rats a carcinogen that promotes colon cancer. The rats were divided into three groups. One group was fed a regular diet. The second group got a low dose of CoQ10. The third got a medium dose.

The results were amazing.

Both of the groups that received CoQ10 had reductions in abnormal crypts (an early sign of colon cancer) of up to 77%. Ultimately, the results of this study suggested that CoQ10 held cancer in check even when exposed to this carcinogen.¹

Another study done at the University of Texas at Austin documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with CoQ10.²

I just finished reading the British Medical Journal … there was an article by a group of researchers telling doctors they should put everyone over 40 on blood pressure drugs — even if they don’t have high blood pressure!¹

According to the study’s authors, “Guidelines on the use of blood pressure lowering drugs can be simplified so that drugs are offered to people with all levels of blood pressure. Our results indicate the importance of lowering blood pressure in everyone over a certain age, rather than measuring it in everyone and treating it in some.”

Can you imagine? Taking drugs every day when you’re in perfect health? This is a sign of things to come. Drug companies aren’t satisfied with controlling medical schools, the media and the FDA… now they want all of us to take a drug every day whether you need it or not.

Are they kidding?

Do you have restless legs syndrome? Maybe you just think you do thanks to the advertising savvy of pharmaceutical companies who make millions exaggerating this rare condition. They’ve been so successful, that it’s become an epidemic in a population of restless yet inactive people who may really just be suffering from a common mineral deficiency.

I’ll discuss that deficiency with you in just a moment. But first, I’d like to explain why you should avoid if at all possible the popular prescription drugs that are being marketed to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS).

The main RLS drugs fall under the category of tranquilizers, sleeping aids and pain relievers — substances that are highly addictive and are only masking the true problem.
The worst of the batch is Requip (ropinirole) which plays with your brain chemistry in the way drugs for Parkinson’s disease and ADHD do — by increasing or decreasing your production of dopamine (which regulates most of your bodily functions).

In fact, Requip is so powerful, it is often prescribed to lessen the effects of Parkinson’s disease. “Hallucination” is listed under significant adverse effects of the drug.¹

Attention: Your memory may be fading and the drug pushing conservative medical establishment wants you to wait for them to develop the next “magic bullet drug.”

This in the face of the fact that Alzheimer’s is a terribly complex disease and in my opinion no one drug will ever be able to prevent or reverse this mind-robbing illness.

I was recently on a conference call with a very important organization and their Capital liaison shared with us that in this time of health care reform, representatives of the major drug companies are going around speaking to senators and congress people telling them that:

“The cure for Alzheimer’s is right around the corner.”¹

Another leading organization is not only promulgatin

What is your health plan?

That’s an interesting question someone once asked me.

Let’s put it another way: What is your plan for developing your health? Can you name it? Can you put it in a list? Can you say, “My plan for eating is a, b, c and d? My plan for fitness is one, two, three and four. My plan for flexibility is one, two, three and four. My plan for strength or cardiovascular training is x, y and z.”

How many of us have actually taken the time to sit down and develop a plan for health? How many of us just go day-to-day, constantly changing plans (or not making plans) and wondering and hoping if we’ll stay healthy.

My experience has been that most of the patients I help and most of the people who come to me for personal coaching, don’t really have a health plan in place. They drift from plan to plan trying to find something that meets their lifestyle needs.

While most of the world seems to be touting the benefits of whole grains these days, a few people are insisting that grains are not as healthy as we think.

One of the reasons grains may be a problem in human nutrition is because they contain lectins, a class of molecules called glycoproteins (molecules that contain a protein and a sugar).

While dietary lectins are known in the scientific and nutritional communities, most lay people and even many medical professionals don’t know about them.

Lectins are involved in food allergies/sensitivities, inflammation and autoimmune disease, just to name a few. For instance, lectins are linked to celiac disease. Even weight gain and low energy can be linked to lectins.

Whole grains, peanuts, kidney beans, and soybeans are high in lectins. Cow’s milk, nightshade vegetables (like potatoes and tomatoes) and some seafood also contain fairly high amounts of lectin. In fact, estimates are that about 30% of our foods contain lectins, and about 5% of the lectins we eat will enter our circulation.

Lectins are problematic because they are sticky molecules that can bind to the linings of human tissue, especially intestinal cells. In so doing, they disable cells in the GI tract, keeping them from repairing and rebuilding.¹ Therefore, lectins can contribute to eroding your intestinal barrier (leaky gut).

Here we are in the middle of summer. The weather is nice. The food is fresh. We’re more active and happy — and hopefully feeling good.

At LMI, we use a lot of nutritional supplements to help people regain their health and vitality. Too many times though, we find that people think they can build health just with supplements, not realizing supplements can’t do everything. They can’t fight forever against the foundation of an unhealthy diet and inactivity, for example.

Thankfully, some of the most important things we can do for our health are free (or almost free anyway). Summer brings some of those things into focus.

1. Have Fun in the Sun

Soaking up some sun for vitamin D is a great way to help your health. Regular THB readers are well aware of the risks of vitamin D deficiency and the healthful powers of the sun. Newcomers can review some of the evidence here, here and here.
