By Dr. Dwight Lundell MD 03/31/2010

During my 25 years as a cardiac surgeon, along with other prominent physicians labeled “opinion makers,” we insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.   The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. 

Pharmaceutical giants reported $33 Billion dollars in cholesterol lowering drugs last year. As a nation, we reduced the fat content in our diets faithfully and yet with 25% of the population taking statin medications, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before and at a younger age. 

Don’t you think something is terribly wrong?

Let me say those traditional recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible; in fact, the consequences dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.

Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes. These disorders are affecting younger people in greater numbers every year.

Low-fat diet recommendations with elimination of saturated fat are responsible for epidemics in inflammation, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.  Let’s look at why:

Hidden Omega-6 Oils 

Processed foods are manufactured with Omega-6 oils for longer shelf life; chips and fries are soaked in soybean oil.  Omega-6’s are essential as they are part of every cell membrane controlling what goes in and out of the cell but without a correct balance to Omega-3’s, more harm sets in.

If the balance shifts to excessive Omega-6, the cell membrane produces chemicals called cytokines that directly cause inflammation.  Today’s main stream diet has produced an imbalance from 15:1 to as high as 30:1 in favor of Omega-6. That’s a tremendous amount of cytokines causing inflammation.  A ratio of 3:1 would be optimal and healthy.

Animal fats contain less than 20% Omega-6 and are much less likely to cause inflammation than the supposedly healthy oils labeled polyunsaturated.  The science that saturated fat alone causes heart disease is non-existent. The science that saturated fat raises blood cholesterol is also very weak.

Perfect Brain and Memory Health

Imagine how great it will feel to enjoy life without the fear, embarrassment, or frustration of mental slip-ups. You won’t have to worry about forgetting people’s names… or missing appointments… or misplacing your glasses…or locking yourself out of your car or house.

Read on to find out more…

Add Harm From Sugars and Simple Carbohydrates

Simple carbohydrates and refined sugars cause the body to produce high levels of insulin from the pancreas.  Over time, cells will become sensitive and less resistant to excessive insulin creating Type 2 diabetes.  Then they become abnormally stiff from an overload of Omega-6 fatty acids.

When we consume more sugars than we use or need, a cycle of internal terror begins as our bodies are not designed to eliminate toxic substances.  Cells will become overloaded producing a substance called resistin that makes cells even less responsive to insulin. 

LDL is chemically changed from this cycle of internal terror becoming abnormal.  The LDL chemical changes are perceived by the body as an invader, an infection or foreign substance to be destroyed and the inflammatory process begins. 

The important point to remember is LDL would not become trapped in the artery wall and cause a plaque unless the LDL changed from oxidation or high blood sugar in the presence of inflammation.

Without inflammation being present, cholesterol would move freely throughout as nature intended.

What About Weight?

Excess weight creates overloaded fat cells that pour out large quantities of pro-inflammatory chemicals that add to the injury caused by having high blood sugar. In time this vicious cycle creates heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and finally, Alzheimer’s disease, as the inflammatory process continues unabated.

Arterial Inflammation 

Inflammation is simply your body’s natural defense to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus.  The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from bacterial and viral invaders.  However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, a condition results called chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.

I have seen inside thousands upon thousands of arteries.  Arterial inflammation (diseased artery) looks as if someone took a brush and scrubbed repeatedly against its wall. Several times a day, every day, the foods we eat create small injuries compounding into more injuries, causing the body to respond continuously and appropriately with inflammation.

What’s the Answer to This Fire Raging in Our Bodies? 

It’s not as difficult as you might think.  Return to foods closer to their natural state.  If a food is packaged and processed or labeled “low-fat or no-fat diet” it is high in sugar or high in Omega-6 oil.  Check a few packages and you’ll see soybean oil as a major ingredient.

Choose carbohydrates that are very complex such as colorful fruits and vegetables.  Cut down on or eliminate inflammation-causing Omega-6 fats.  One tablespoon of corn oil contains 7,280 mg of Omega-6; soybean contains 6,940 mg. Instead, use olive oil or butter from grass-fed beef.

You can reverse inflammation in your arteries and throughout your body from consuming the typical American diet by following my recommendations in The Great Cholesterol Lie.  You’ll learn essential vitamins and minerals to add, inflammatory foods to eliminate, how to eat safely in fast food chains and a list of recommended tests to measure your risk factor for heart disease.

This is neither complicated nor mysterious yet conflicting information abounds making it appear so.  Death happens only once but good health is a continuum. 

Editor’s Note: Dr. Dwight Lundell is the past Chief of Staff and Chief of Surgery at Banner Heart Hospital, Mesa, AZ. He is the founder of Healthy Humans Foundation and Chief Medical Advisor for Asantae. In 2003, Dr. Lundell made the most difficult decision of his 25 year surgical career. As traditional medicine continued to chase the cholesterol theory of heart disease, Dr. Lundell closed his surgical practice. He then devoted the rest of his life to speaking the truth that inflammation causes heart disease. By lowering inflammation, heart disease has a cure.

Dr. Lundell is the author of the world-wide bestselling book, The Great Cholesterol Lie. This book is a revealing look at heart disease and the faulty theories of low-fat diets and cholesterol. He also reveals his clinically-tested recommendations for lowering inflammation that can prevent and reverse heart disease. Click here now to learn more.

Understanding Heart Disease

Heart Disease and fats, is it all a scam?

Are you ready to quit smoking? Facts are that 9 out of 10 smokers who say they want to quit never really give it 100% effort because they believe that it is difficult: they start out by expecting to fail.

Mark Twain said “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.”

What is your attitude, do you laugh off your desire to quit smoking with an attitude and a thought like Mark Twain?

Is There The Fear That You Will Fail Because You Know That Quitting Smoking Is Difficult?

Smoking is an addiction and smoking will seriously affect your health and possibly kill you. Sure everyone has heard the story of someone’s uncle who smoked everyday and lived to be 100, but everyone has also seen someone they love holding on to life by sucking air from an oxygen tank after many years of smoking have destroyed their lungs. Maybe you’ve even seen that person need to go on a ventilator and then die.   Quit smoking facts: smokers pay more for health and life insurance.

Quit Smoking Facts: Quitting Smoking Is Serious and You Know It

Here is the truth, another quit smoking fact, and it’s about why so many fail: they believe it is difficult, they believe they will fail; they have no expectation of success.

Here is a timeless truth as stated by Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.”

Our beliefs affect how much effort we are willing to put into any goal we set. Many start out with ideas in the back of their minds on how to explain the expected failure.

This is not the way to approach quitting smoking; you have too much at stake.

Why Do You Want To Quit Smoking?

Is it for yourself and your health? Is it for your family, so you will be there for them, or do you just want them to have cleaner air to breathe?

Do you want to save money? I remember when cigarettes were $2 a carton and now they are around $50. Cigarettes can take up a significant part of a family’s budget.

These are all good reasons to quit and they all deserve an honest effort from you. They will never be achieved unless you are serious and unless you believe that you will succeed. It is important that you have these reasons in mind as the cigarette addiction challenges you to pick them up again. It is also important that you maintain the conviction that you will succeed.

The desire to quit and good reasons to quit along with the conviction that you can quit will go a long way to helping you successful in quitting smoking.

When you are serious about quitting smoking get the quit smoking facts, a good plan and a methodology. Visit http://quitsmokingfacts.us/ and take the next steps to your freedom from this addiction.

Since I write about health issues, including hemorrhoids, people come to my website asking about some of the worst hemorrhoid symptoms. Recently this included anal leakage and bleeding.

These symptoms can happen even with relatively mild hemorrhoids. An external hemorrhoid swollen a little and right on the anus can distort things just enough to produce anal leakage. The wetness and rubbing can inflame things more and soon you will begin to have leakage and blood. All of this produces a challenge for the hemorrhoid sufferer who must engage in business, with family, and with friends. There is the ick and the smell to deal with and this can lead to self consciousness and withdrawal.

There is no worse thing than having your clothes soiled by such a condition. You may not be aware that it is happening. Sitting for long periods can inflame the issue and when you get up it may take a bit to become aware of what has happened. Likewise if your work is standing and walking then things can get out of hand before you know it.

One sufferer described taking feminine hygiene pads, cutting them into smaller pieces and placing them against the anus. He held them in place by wearing a g-string under boxers. Changing the pads several times a day got him by, controlled anal leakage, avoided smell and soiled clothes..

What all of this means is that many people don’t have an effective way to deal with hemorrhoids. It is one thing to have a little itching, pain is pretty awful, but the embarrassment of having hemorrhoids can be beyond comprehension. It means that the hemorrhoid cremes and expensive treatments either aren’t available because of cost or they haven’t worked.

These problems need no longer stand in your way of solving your hemorrhoid problem. Inexpensive natural hemorrhoid treatments can resolve almost any hemorrhoid problem, even those not responding to traditional medicine.

The solution involves nutrition and topical treatments. Did you know that a lot can be done by adding more vegetables and fruits to your diet while avoiding processed foods: think green, think colorful fruit. Think about dumping bread, products laced with high fructose corn syrup, sugar, and additives. Think about the micro nutrients in good raw foods and how these will strengthen the veins all over your body, including those that have been stressed and pressured until they balloon out to form hemorrhoids.

Then there are the immediate steps to attack the symptoms. Topical treatment of inexpensive, readily available, natural medicines like Witch Hazel. This will shrink hemorrhoids and reduce inflammation. Learn about sitz bath and cold packs, even a bar of soap held against the anus will help. This treatment can burn but it will help heal.

Hemorrhoids symptoms are often embarrassing as well as painful. I invite you to visit http://www.NaturalHemorrhoidTreatments.org and discover all of the best natural hemorrhoid treatment and cures.

You may have heard some of the old myths about body builders, that it will all just turn to fat and that they have big muscles but the quality of the exercise is not good like aerobic exercise is.

The facts are that if you do it right you will use a blend of weight training exercises, aerobics, and possibly yoga or some other stretching and strength system.  Aerobics a couple of days a week interspersed with weight training.  This brings the body to it’s most efficient state with a strong cardiovascular system and muscles to support whatever it is that you want to do.

Let’s face it there is nothing sexier than a body toned and trained that way.

If you are overweight the chances are you may be avoiding weight training because you think it will cause you to gain even more weight.  The facts are that robust exercise as described in combination with a sensible diet is the best way to lose pounds.

Following such a system may mean that you would lose 5 pounds for a particular period whereas someone only dieting may have lost seven.  But that doesn’t tell the whole story.  The rest of the story is that you will also have gained three pounds of muscle.  Muscle is a fat burning engine and as you continue you will achieve your goals and succeded well beyond anything possible with diet alone.

People just dieting will revert after a time and the weight comes back.  Those in a lifestyle change involving exercise will continue to progress.

Such a combination of exercise involving weight training is a lifestyle that will serve you throughout your life.  It will give you the juice to excell in all areas because lets face it, if you are tired all the time you severely limit your chances of success.  Such a lifestyle also contributes to longevity and quality of life.

Your success program begins with your body.  The daily ritual of caring for it includes keeping it fit and a workout routine weight training schedule.

“The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks” is a great story of a medical break through – it is also the story of the Lacks family and how they intersected the break through. 

I had never heard of Henrietta Lacks and knew nothing of the cell technology that she became a part of.  Here is an amazing story of a simple woman and how she contributed to one of the most important medical science discoveries of our age.  It is also the story of Doctors and researchers that brought about the amazing discoveries.

In 1951 Doctors at Johns Hopkins took Henrietta Lacks cells while she was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer. That they did not have her consent remains a controversy but the cells launched a multi-billion dollar bio-tech industry.   The videos here are found on YouTube and are part of a program produced by the BBC.

Today, 60 years after her death, the cells live on and are credited first with helping to find the cure for polio and other diseases and they remain important in much of today’s medical research.  The cells are simply called HeLa after the first two letters of her first and last name.

At the same time that Henrietta Lacks was undergoing treatment at Johns Hopkins, a brilliant scientist named George Gey was doing research on growing various cells out of the body. It was something that no one had succeeded with before but with his technology and Henrietta’s cells it became a reality.

Presidents, the rich, and the Hollywood Ellette got into action, creating a forward momentum to cure cancer based on the promise of the technology from Henrietta’s cells.

Along the way Doctors learned they didn’t understand everything they thought they knew about the cells.  Because of careless errors Henrietta’s cells became part of other cell lines that Doctors tried to create.  This meant a complete work over of the cell handling methods and a restart of much research.  Henrietta’s cells seemed to take over the world.

Henrietta’s family began to learn of the importance of her cells but they found there was no legal claim to the fortunes that were created by the technology. 

At last though, they were able to establish a place for her in the history of medical science.   

In February 2010 Rebecca Skloot published a book about Henrietta.  It is comprehensive covering the technology, Henrietta and her families story, and how the technology that preserved her cells came to be.  The book is called “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”  It is a well told story that perhaps bogs down in the last 1/3 of the book but still a great read.

7 Ways to Boost Your Energy

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Fatigue is one of the biggest problems of modern life, but we’re trying to fix that problem in all the wrong ways.

Trying to “get” or “find” energy is like trying to grab a fistful of water. If you want water (energy) to sit in your hand, you have to first create the conditions under which it’s possible — in the case of water, keeping your fingers tightly together and your hand cupped while open will do the trick — but trying to grab the water will not. It’s the same thing with energy.

Energy isn’t something you get or grab, but rather the by-product of certain conditions that allow it to show up in your life. If your health and attitude and body and mind are all aligned in the right way, there’s nothing else for you to do but to feel energized. It’s the natural “side-effect” of a healthy life — it just comes with the territory.Let’s say you were a swimmer wearing a weight belt and you wanted to increase your time in the 50-yard freestyle. You could spend a lot of effort researching the latest titanium high-tech bathing suit — which might add a second or two to your time — but wouldn’t it be a lot more effective to simply drop the weight belt?

Most of us are carrying around weight belts and looking to increase our energy with coffee and stimulants when in fact if we just dropped the weight belt we’d automatically go faster.

Some of the items on our weight belt are: too little sleep, disorganization, toxic relationships, high-carb diets, undetected food sensitivities, and all sorts of other facts of modern life that I discuss in detail in my book, The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy. In this article I’m going to suggest seven ways to help drop the weight belt from your energy tank. Do them and you may be surprised at what a boost in energy they give you.

1. Support your liver. You can help your liver do its job more effectively — and boost your energy in the bargain — by taking a daily dose of an herb called milk thistle. I consider the liver to be the most misunderstood and under-appreciated organ in the human body, because when it’s not working right, the first thing to suffer is your energy. Giving the liver all the nutrients it needs to perform its daily tasks is one of the most important things you can do to boost your energy.
2. Get ten minutes of sun every day. “The sun gives you strength, lifts your spirits and is a source of energy”, says my friend Al Sears, MD, author of Your Best Health Under the Sun. Like a growing body of health experts, Sears thinks we’ve become so sun phobic that we’re missing out on the myriad mood-boosting and energy-enhancing benefits that vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin has to offer.
3. Disconnect for a day. One of the great energy drainers of the 21st century is information overload. We’re deluged with stuff coming at us from emails, RSS feeds, blogs, social networking sites, TV, magazines, radio, fax machines, Blackberries… you get the picture. Knowledge may be power, but information overload is just… well, noise. Try a media-free day and feel your own energy accumulate — rather than dissipate as you attend to millions of distractions. Most of the chatter, when you think about it, won’t make much difference in the long run anyway. (If you find the idea of disconnecting for a day a frightening thought, you are exactly the person who needs to do it the most!)
4. Try the “No-Frills, No-Excuses, Anytime-Anywhere” workout. We all know that exercise helps with energy — at least I hope we do — but when it comes to working out, time remains a big obstacle for many people. Here’s my own “no excuses” lo-tech workout that you can do just about anywhere in as little as 15 or 20 minutes for an amazing boost in energy: 1) run a mile, 2) do some squats, 3) do some push-ups, 4) do some crunches. Stretch and go about your business refreshed and energized. And if you can’t go out and run the mile, do some jumping jacks in your office, or run the stairs.
5. Revive your “qi”. Acupuncture is based on the precepts of traditional Chinese Medicine that says the body and mind are inextricably linked; that vital energy, or qi, regulates a person’s spiritual, mental and physical health; that each of us is a delicate balance of opposing and inseparable forces called yin and yang — and when that balance is disrupted, vital energy becomes blocked or weakened. When our qi (energy) is at optimal levels and flowing smoothly, we’re ready to take on the world. Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically we’re strong, healthy and energized. One terrific way to balance that energy is through acupuncture.
6. De-clutter and deep-six the energy drain. Here’s a rule I’ve found to be a universal truth: your energy has a perfect inverse relationship to the accumulation of stuff you don’t need. The more unwanted, unused, unneeded stuff you have cluttering up your life, the less energy you have. Believe it or not, the condition of your desk (and desktop) and office and living space actually reflects a lot of what’s going on in your head. If you take time to organize and de-clutter, you’ll actually be freeing up a lot of psychic space, and that can really turbo-charge your energy.
7. Take the right supplements. While supplements don’t really “give” you energy, they can correct metabolic issues that are draining it. They can also speed along certain pathways that are nutrient-dependent and that get sluggish (and energy draining) when those nutrients are in short supply. One terrific energizing nutrient is coenzyme Q10. It helps transform fats and sugars into energy and is a potent antioxidant.

Hemorrhoids are a terrible thing to have and after you understand that they are a disease of civilization and that an effective hemorrhoid home treatment is readily available you will wonder why you hadn’t heard about all of this before.

Unfortunately money drives our health care system and these simple home treatments don’t produce income. The common treatments also don’t produce a permanent cure, the hemorrhoids keep coming back. No one has told you that the best treatment is prevention, and, they haven’t told you how to prevent hemorrhoids or that home treatment is simple and effective.

But now home treatments are gaining favor as people are hearing about them. Since there is no quick cure in most common treatments, people are willing to take a shot at it at home. Here are three treatments that you should try.

Simple Hemorrhoid Home Treatment

1. Sitz Bath, you sit in a tub of warm water with a cup or two of Epsom Salts mixed in (keep the water as shallow as you can so the salts are not diluted). Sit knees to chest to avoid pressure on the anal area and to allow your cheeks to open and allow the cleansing and treatment to reach the area. Stay for 15 to 20 minutes and repeat 2 to 3 times per day. Sitz Bath will relax your muscles and improve the cirulation around the anus. This increased circulation is key in healing and preventing future hemorrhoids.
2. Witch Hazel has been used through the past several centuries to heal various ailments including hemorrhoids. Witch Hazel is an astringent, meaning it will shrink the hemorrhoids. You can use it as often as you like. One way to apply it is to pour it on your toilet paper and help clean yourself with it. It should also be applied again after you are clean.
3. Chinese remedies, whereas Sitz Bath and Witch Hazel are easily available in any drug store, Chinese remedies are a little harder to find, you also need to find the recipes. If your hemorrhoids resist some of the easier remedies then Chinese remedies will probably hold your answer as they are some of the most potent of remedies.

A hemorrhoid home treatment is inexpensive and effective, you do it all at home. You also quickly come to a treatment that works best for you without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars at the drug store and perhaps on surgical procedures.

Hemorrhoids Home Treatment: Find alternative hemorrhoid cures all the way from Sitz Bath and Witch Hazel, to the onion and garlic cure, to centuries old Chinese herbal treatments. You will also learn how Holly Hayden cured her hemorrhoids with natural means and now has helped thousands with her information.

For many years the prescription for stomach pain has been antacids to fight too much acid in the stomach. Antacid pills, lozenges, and even liquids. These are of great help for an occasional upset stomach. But if you use them overtime you will find your stomach problems increasing as your body compensates for the reduction of acid.

However as time goes on we find more and more, that less intuitive means help. Many find that red apples and apple cider vinegar (acetic acid) are of great help in eliminating stomach pain caused by GERD. It makes no sense that an acid based food would help acid reflux and yet the proof is there. A big part of the reason is you are not fighting against your bodies natural means of operating. With antacids you try to neutralize stomach acid. In effect, you are fighting against yourself and not working in harmony with your body.

Getting in harmony with your bodies natural processes is in fact the key to solving stomach pain, acid reflux, and other stomach and digestive disorders. Doctors tell us that most people go around in a state of semi-dehydration — we don’t drink enough water. The problem with that is water is what our body uses to flush toxins. Drinking a cup for every waking our will give your body a tune-up all by itself. It will help digestion.

Reducing processed foods is another good step. Most processing removes nutrients and fiber from food. Our bodies need all of these good things to keep in proper operation. Can you learn to add in more vegetables, fruits, and nuts instead? The good you will do yourself will begin to show up as you maintain these better nutrition habits.

As you improve your diet you will find that your overall health will begin to improve. Your body will pay you the dividends of improving your stomach problems, increasing your energy, and your since of well being. Many digestive and stomach problems are diseases of civilization. Conditions that are caused by modern living, convenience and processed foods. As we bring our diet and habits closer to nature we begin to fix the conditions that we have created.

There are also natural combinations for food. Foods that go together and those that don’t. This again is part of the natural balance that modern life has brought. The sad thing is that for many years we have been conditioned to believe that it can all be handled by a few pills. Yet we create huge problems and great sufferings for ourselves by breaking the natural balance.

I invite you to learn more about restoring the natural balance in your diet and resolving your stomach pain permanently.
