Scrambled eggs are the worst way to eat eggs.

Despite what the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other public health organizations may tell you, a well-cooked, scrambled egg is not the healthiest option.

The yellow center of the egg, or the yolk, is full of living nutrients that sustain and fortify our cells and organs. But when you cook an egg, exposing it to air and heat at the same time, you are chemically altering its structure. These ingredients are depleted of their life-nourishing properties.

Nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, whose many benefits include warding off age-related macular degeneration –a common cause of blindness –, perish in the cooking process.

Consider how much we rely on body heat to connect us to body awareness. When our temperature raises above 105 degrees, the alarm bells sound, signaling serious health conditions that need immediate attention. Likewise, when we heat an egg above 105 degrees we are chemically altering the content of the yolk and essentially crossing the line between healthy and harmful.

Scrambling your eggs also causes cholesterol oxidation. What in the world is that?

When you cut an apple open and leave it out, what happens to it? It turns brown. That’s oxidation, and the same process occurs inside our bodies! When the cholesterol in egg yolk oxidizes, our bodies suffer the consequences.

The Cholesterol Myth

Eggs are typically associated with the word cholesterol. Let’s debunk this myth.

Cholesterol is necessary. Your cells need cholesterol to form cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that digest fat. Cholesterol strengthens our cognitive function and protects our memories. And what’s more, numerous studies have shown that eggs do not actually raise your cholesterol levels, so cholesterol oxidation is harmful to us.

One such study published in the International Journal of Cardiology found that a daily dose of egg did not increase your cholesterol levels and had no effect on your cardiac risk.

The first studies linking eggs to high cholesterol were conducted decades ago and tested on dried egg yolk of a significantly different composition than that of a whole fresh egg. Studies since have refuted this link. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition and conducted by researchers at Kansas State University has even uncovered an ingredient in eggs called phosphatidylcholine (PC) that actually prevents cholesterol from entering the bloodstream.

It is not cholesterol we need to avoid, but the oxidized cholesterol in scrambled eggs that is best dodged. Our blood vessels don’t have receptors for cholesterol – a beneficial arrangement that protects us from collecting too much cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Our blood vessels do have receptors for oxidized cholesterol, and therein lays the danger.

Cholesterol oxidation leads to sticky cholesterol that gradually forms plague around the artery walls, the major precursor to heart disease.

So what is the best way to eat eggs? Raw. This advice may seem contrary; we are forever warned against the dangers of salmonella, but we should only avoid eating raw eggs when they come from large commercial egg facilities, all of which engage in confined animal feeding operations, or CAFO’s. Keep in mind that the wide majority of commercially available eggs are produced by CAFO’s.

Even eggs labeled “free-range” are not truly free-range. An accurate definition of free-range chickens are chickens who are able to roam free in a pasture and forage for their natural diet of green plants, insects, seeds and worms.

The United States definition of “free-range” is merely a chicken that has access to the outside for a couple of minutes a day. This access is often bare concrete, and “access” simply means that the chickens can go outside if they want, but many are cooped up with tens to one hundred thousands of other chickens and never find their way out the door.

Free-range does not necessarily mean pasture fed. To make sure you are not eating eggs that come from CAFO’s, purchase organic, free-range eggs from your local health food store or farmer’s market. Remember, eggs from pasture-fed hens have 2/3 more vitamin A, 2 times more omega fats and 7 times more beta-carotene than eggs from non-foraging hens.

How to Eat Raw Eggs

One option is to blend a whole raw egg into a breakfast smoothie. It is healthiest to eat the egg white and yolk together. If consuming a raw egg is unpalatable, or you are pregnant, eating a soft-boiled egg is the next best option.

The promising substance is called Caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or CAPE. It comes from a substance called propolis, which bees produce and use in their hives to patch up holes and to encapsulate foreign invaders.

For centuries, propolis has been recognized and used as a natural remedy. It’s shown effective against conditions ranging from sore throats and allergies to burns and cancer. And based on early lab trials, it is even being studied as a possible treatment for HIV/AIDS.

Now, Science Daily reports the results of the exciting prostate cancer treatment and research conducted with CAPE study that was published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

Researchers [found] that CAPE arrests early-stage prostate cancer by shutting down the tumor cells’ system for detecting sources of nutrition.

“If you feed CAPE to mice daily, their tumors will stop growing. After several weeks, if you stop the treatment, the tumors will begin to grow again at their original pace,” said Richard B. Jones, PhD, assistant professor in the Ben May Department for Cancer Research and Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology and senior author of the study. “So it doesn’t kill the cancer, but it basically will indefinitely stop prostate cancer proliferation.”

[F]irst author Chih-Pin Chuu (now at the National Health Research Institutes in Taiwan) tested the compound on a series of cancer cell lines…CAPE successfully slowed the proliferation of cultured cells isolated from human prostate tumors.

CAPE was also effective at slowing the growth of human prostate tumors grafted into mice. Six weeks of treatment with the compound decreased tumor volume growth rate by half, but when CAPE treatment was stopped, tumor growth resumed its prior rate.

“It appears that CAPE basically stops the ability of prostate cancer cells to sense that there’s nutrition available,” Jones said. “They stop all of the molecular signatures that would suggest that nutrition exists, and the cells no longer have that proliferative response to nutrition.”

These results suggest that CAPE might halt the growth of prostate tumors in humans. Jones cautioned, however, that clinical trials would be necessary before CAPE could be proven an effective and safe prostate cancer treatment for humans.

In the meantime, the CAPE experiments offer further support for the healing potential of propolis and its components.

Oxytocin has been coined “the love hormone” because it plays a significant role in our social attachments and interactions. A lesser-known benefit of oxytocin is its ability to inspire trust in and among people. The connection between oxytocin and trust seems logical when you consider how oxytocin affects animal behavior.

Scientists credit oxytocin with enabling animals to bypass their natural inclination to avoid being close to other animals and instead allow approach.

Two studies conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich demonstrate the link between oxytocin and trust in humans. The first double-blind study, led by Michael Kosfeld Ph.D., compared the trust levels of 2 groups of participants: 1 group was administered oxytocin in the form of a nasal spray, and the other was given a placebo.

Participants competed in two financial trust games, one of which they played with another human, and in the other they competed against a computer. The game features an investor and a trustee. The investor must decide whether he wants to entrust his money to the trustee, or keep it all to himself.

Handing it over to a trustee doubles the amount of money, but involves risk. The trustee then gets to decide how she wants to divvy up the money: Does she want to halve it, or keep it all for herself? This truly was a game of financial risk, as participants played with monetary units that were converted to real money at the study’s end.

The results confirmed the scientists’ suspicions: 45% of those given oxytocin exhibited the highest trust levels, whereas the placebo group showed high trust levels in only 21% of participants. These trust levels were not present when individuals played against the computer, thereby ruling out the possibility that oxytocin may enhance risk-taking as a whole, and narrowing the hormone’s influence down to social risk-taking among people.

The second double-blind study, led by neuroscientist Thomas Baumgartner, not only demonstrated oxytocin and trust had a great effect, but also showed exactly how it influences the brain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), scientists were able to see how oxytocin influences trust behavior and what happens in the brain when that trust dissolves.

Forty-nine people were administered either the oxytocin nasal spray or a placebo. They participated in the same trust game with humans, and then what was termed a financial risk game with a computer. The experiment was bisected into a pre and post feedback stage. In between the two stages, participants in both groups were told that 50% of their investments had gone sour.

This translated to betrayal in the trust game and a bad gamble in the financial risk game. Investors given the placebo at the start of the game reduced the amount of money they gave to trustees, thereby decreasing the rate of trust significantly. Investors given oxytocin, however, invested at the same rate of trust despite the betrayal.

These different behavioral responses also registered as different neural responses in the brain. Oxytocin encouraged decreases in 2 areas of the brain: the amygdala and the candate nucleus. Abundant in oxytocin receptors, the amygdala is responsible for triggering emotional and fear learning.

The caudate is responsible for reward-related reactions and learning how to trust.

Based on these results, researchers concluded that oxytocin reduces the fear mechanism that activates the fear of deception (amygdala) and overrides the need for positive feedback that can influence our future ability to trust (caudate).

Once again, these results were only evidenced in the trust game, not the risk game played with the computer, thus indicating that oxytocin’s effect on trust only applies to actual people.

Further research is needed to explore oxytocin and trust and how this hormone can be used to strengthen our trust in others and even treat mental disorders that specifically relate to deficiencies in social behavior.

When Columbus landed in the new world 500 years ago there was something remarkable about the people of the Americas…

They had no trace of brittle bones or what we now call “osteoporosis.”

The older folks were active, energetic and never weak or “hunched over.” And of course, they never used canes to help them walk or wheelchairs to help them get around.

They didn’t have to. Their diets were rich in a “missing vitamin” that kept their bones naturally dense and durable as they aged.

The research is impressive and well documented, but it’s been largely overlooked and quietly pushed into the background by the big drug companies who are afraid of igniting another “vitamin D miracle,” like we had a few years ago.

Today you’ll discover the mystery behind this missing vitamin and the clinical evidence that proves you can:

• Easily reduce your risk of bone fracture by over 500%.

• Build strong, resilient bones that keep you mobile and independent.

• Get rid of those worthless calcium supplements and prescription bone drugs.

American Dentist Identifies “Missing Vitamin”

It wasn’t until the 1930s that an American dentist made a remarkable discovery…a “new” fat-soluble vitamin that gave these native people such incredibly strong bones and perfect teeth with broad smiles.

After nearly two decades of research, he realized that when these natives started eating processed, Western foods, their bones weakened, their teeth rotted and their dental arches became cramped and distorted.

Only during the last 10 years have researchers finally provided the clinical evidence that prove this “missing vitamin” may be the key to strong-as-steel bones and prevent bone fracture.

You see, your bones are constantly repairing themselves. As old cells die, new ones take their place. But here’s the problem: This vitamin must be there to “activate” the cells inside your bones called osteocalcin.

When they’re activated, osteocalcin “sticks” to your bones to keep them young and strong. But when the vitamin isn’t there, osteocalcin stays “inactive” and will NOT stick to your bones.

And that means your bones grow weak and frail over time.

A landmark study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research discovered that people with the highest levels of “inactive” osteocalcin have a 500% higher risk of bone fracture.

And studies published in the journal Nutrition and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found…

This “forgotten vitamin” can stop the loss of bone density and in some cases
can even increase bone mass in people with osteoporosis.

Activating osteocalcin is the secret to life-long bones of steel…and that’s why calcium supplements and bone drugs do almost nothing to fix the problem.

As you’ll see, many doctors believe this could be the secret to staying independent and mobile as you age.

And I STRONGLY believe this is something you should know about. Especially since the drug companies have a head start. If we don’t break the news now, you may never find out.

I’m skeptical of the word “breakthrough” but this story so compelling I consider it a “must read.” It’s the closest thing to real hope I’ve seen in a long time.

Read more on how to prevent bone fracture and discover the identity of the “forgotten vitamin”…

This classification is backed by 24 studies linking fluoride exposure to lower I.Q in children, 3 studies connecting fluoride exposure to dysfunctional neuro-behavorial development, and 100 animal studies associating fluoride exposure to impaired cognitive function.

Unsafe drinking water is not just a concern of third world countries; the United States heavily fluoridates its water. In fact, 70% of U.S. public drinking water supplies contain dangerous levels of fluoride lowers IQ levels.

One measurable side effect of fluoridation is dental fluorosis, a condition in which tooth enamel does not properly develop because of overexposure to fluoride. Dental fluorosis can manifest as white spots, stains, and deep grooves in the tooth. Alarmingly, 41% of American children between the ages of 12 and 15 have some form of dental fluorosis, an indication that fluoride levels in water are not safe.

Dental fluorosis provides visual proof that fluoride is a toxin, and it is logical to assume that fluoride’s toxic effects do more than just damage developing teeth.

Despite numerous studies highlighting the damage fluoride lowers IQ, inflicts on developing brains, health agencies in the United States and other fluoridating countries refuse to lend credibility to the findings. They have criticized the methodology of the studies, the majority of which have been conducted in China, but fail to conduct studies of their own to either refute or validate the claims.

Take for instance a highly publicized study of 512 children between 8 to 13 years living in 2 Chinese villages. Researchers ruled out lead exposure and iodine deficiency as possible causes of reduced IQ. They did not study children with a history of brain damage or disease, and none of the participants consumed brink tea, a beverage high in fluoride lowers IQ.

Neither village was exposed to fluoride pollution from industrial causes such as coal burning, thereby allowing researchers to zero in on water fluoridation as the primary culprit. Results showed that 28% of children in areas with low levels of fluoride in the drinking water scored IQ levels in the normal to high range, whereas only 8% of children in areas with high levels of fluoridated water exhibited normal to high IQs. In high-fluoride neighborhoods, 15% of children had scores reflecting mental retardation versus 6% of children in low-fluoride communities.

Proponents of fluoride will argue that the Chinese children were exposed to fluoride-enhanced drinking water at much higher levels than fluoridated water in the U.S. Paul Connett, Ph.D, director of the Fluoride Action Network refutes this argument, claiming, “the levels of the fluoride in the community where the lowered IQs were recorded were lower than the EPA’s so-called ‘safe’ drinking water standard for fluoride of 4 ppm and far too close for comfort to the levels used in artificial fluoridation programs (0.7 – 1.2 ppm).”

Experts such as Arvid Carlsson, Nobel laureate in medicine/physiology, advocate against exposing infants to fluoride levels greater than that found in breast milk. Unfortunately, infants fed formula reconstituted with fluoridated tap water are exposed to 250 times more fluoride than the amount found in mother’s milk. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has recommended lowering the fluoride level given to infants to 0.7 ppm, but this level is still 175 times more than the level of fluoride in breast milk!

Having fluoride exposure and seeing that fluoride lowers IQ is just one of the effects. Sixteen animal studies have found that fluoride damages the hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for forming new memories and retrieving old ones.

One animal study found that 1 ppm of fluoride prompted morphological changes in rats’ brains and kidneys, increased the presence of aluminum in the brain, and led to the formation of beta-amyloid deposits, a primary cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

Upon reviewing 5 IQ studies, the National Research Council (NRC) concluded: “it is apparent that fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body by direct and indirect means.”

With the evidence mounting, why do countries such as the United States continue to implement fluoridation programs? History suggests that health agencies are more inclined to protect their fluoridation programs than the minds of their youth. One of the first animal studies published in the United States resulted in the firing of its lead author from the Forsyth Dental Center, a not-so-subtle warning to stop the case against fluoride lowers IQ.

Statistics show that the rates of Alzheimer’s, Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are steadily rising. While we may not know the exact causes of these brain impairments, we can safely assume that overexposure to toxins such as fluoride may have a significant impact on brain health.

To ensure optimal brain development avoid drinking tap water. You can further protect the health of your brain by adding 35% food grade H2O2 to your drinking water. For more details on implementing such a program visit: http://www.undergroundhealthreporter.com/omc/.

For some, it isn’t easy. E.D. affects one in every ten men, though experts believe 5 out of every 10 men over the age of 35 will experience erectile dysfunction at some point. In the United States alone, more than 30 million men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Half the cases are men who have diabetes; but smokers and men over the age of 65 represent a huge portion of diagnosed cases as well.

Primary Causes of Erectile Dysfunction:

• Heart Disease
• Clogged Blood Vessels
• High Cholesterol
• High Blood Pressure
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Low Testosterone
• Scar Tissue Inside the Penis
• Prescription Medications
• Tobacco Use and Substance Abuse
• Stress, Anxiety, Depression – Psychological
• Hidden Relationship Issues – Psychological

Of course, modern technology and the pharmaceutical industry being what it is, there’s a pill for erectile dysfunction treatment. Several, actually, that have given millions of men back their sex life over the last decade by allowing them to obtain and sustain an erection.

Since their release, ED medications have earned their makers billions of dollars in profit. Putting millions into advertising their products seems a fair trade to the big drug companies.

The problem? As with most synthetic treatments, not everyone has a good reaction. There are side effects to erectile dysfunction treatment, not all insurance companies cover the cost, and many men are on other medication that reacts poorly with many ED drugs. There are choices, yes. But not every choice relates to every case. Results are not worth the safety risk of a negative drug interaction.

Where do those millions of men who elect not to take manufactured drugs turn to for help with their erectile dysfunction treatment?

Many have found the answer in herbal remedies. Because they are natural and holistic, herbal remedies too often go unnoticed. Millions of men could be helped with alternative treatment. Why isn’t it advertised?

There isn’t any money in natural solutions.

The companies that produce holistic goods don’t have the marketing budget that Big Pharm does therefore word doesn’t spread – even though the results can be as good, or better, than synthetic choices.

So what products are legit and actually work?

Erectify XL is an herbal supplement gaining a national following. According to users, it works and it’s safe.

Insomnia is on the rise, as evidenced by the estimated $7 billion in annual sales of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids. Tossing and turning during sleepless nights is never fun, and so it is understandable why so many reach for the bottle and the little blue pill that promises to bring deep, restful sleep. But do OTC sleep aids really guarantee a deep sleep, or are the promises empty of anything but adverse side effects and consequences?

According to research studies, OTC sleep aids help you fall asleep approximately 13 minutes faster than you would naturally, and only ensure a mere 11 minutes of extra sleep a day. What many people don’t realize is that the 11 minutes of extra zzzzs gained by sleep aid consumption can dramatically threaten our health and mortality.

As of January 2012, 22 out of 24 published studies attest to the mortality risks associated with sleeping pills: all of the patients taking sleeping pills died sooner than those who did not take a sleep aid. And new research now points to an alarming link between OTC sleep aid usage and cancer, especially cancer of the esophagus, lymphoma, lung, colon and prostate.

The study, published in the February 27, 2012 issue of BMJ Open, showed that people who took 18 or fewer sleeping pills per year were 3.5 times more likely to die than those who did not take a sleep aid. Translation: Just 1.5 sleeping pills per month can increase your risk of death by 360%! Patients who were prescribed 18 to 132 doses of OTC sleep aids per year increased their risk of death by 500%. That’s just 11 pills per month, or 1 pill every 3 days! Their risk of cancer increased by 35%.

In analyzing the results of the study, lead researcher, Dr. Daniel F. Kripke, professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, says,

“We are not certain. But it looks like sleeping pills could be as risky as smoking cigarettes.”

The study followed more than 10,500 people for an average of 2.5 years between 2002 and 2007. Patients were prescribed sleeping pills, including benzodiazepines, such as Restori; non-benzodiazepines, such as Ambien, Intermezzo, Lunesta, and Sonata; barbiturates; and sedative antihistamines. Researchers compared these patients to a control group of 23,500 people of the same age, gender, lifestyle characteristics and health conditions, but who did not take OTC sleep aids.

Co-author Robert D. Langer explains,

“We tried every practical strategy to make these associations go away, thinking that they could be due to use by people with more health problems, but no matter what we did the associations with higher mortality held.”

Although the results apply to people of all ages and genders, scientists found that males ages 18-55 exhibited an even greater risk. Researchers concluded that OTC sleep aids are detrimental to your health and increase your risk of mortality by possibly causing cancer, heart disease and other chronic health issues.

In 1998 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration made certain studies available for review on the Internet. An analysis of studies found that the newer OTC sleep aids on the market (Sonata, Luneste, Rozerem) all caused cancer in rats and mice. These OTC sleep aids also broke chromosomes, a chemical process that has been proven to promote cancer. Wanting FDA approval of their sleep aids for long-term consumption, pharmaceutical companies conducted long-term trials between 2005 and 2006.

The link between these OTC sleep aids and cancer cannot be ignored. According to FDA documents, 9 new skin cancers and 4 other cancers developed in individuals taking sleeping pills, whereas those taking a placebo, or sugar pill, developed no new cancers. To learn more about these FDA studies, visit the online services of the U.S Food & Drug Administration.

OTC medications containing acetaminophen (Tylenol-like pain relief drugs) are the #1 cause of liver failure! Other dangerous side effects of OTC sleep aids include:

• Esophageal regurgitation that may cause cancer
• Sleep apnea
• Drug addiction, making the initial insomnia worse
• Disturbed REM sleep and dreaming, a common cause of dementia in seniors
• Weight gain – one individual reported gaining 100 pounds while taking OTC sleep aids!
• Depression

If you are suffering from restless sleep or insomnia, consider alternatives to OTC sleep aids, such as behavioral therapy, which has been shown to be an even more effective remedy.

Learning relaxation techniques, implementing conscientious sleep habits, and even resetting your natural rhythm to mirror that of the rising and setting sun are safe and natural ways to encourage a restful night’s sleep.

Did you know this miracle ingredient has been successfully used to reduce inflammation, heal wounds, relieve pain from Arthritis to muscle aches and joints, and much more?

The natural healing comes from the Emu bird, only found in Australia – it thrives in the harsh Australian outback climate. Emu oil benefits are remarkable and throughout the world it’s been used as a safe and effective natural healing treatment for burns, cuts, scars, eczema, dry skin, and other skin irritations.

How Emu Oil Benefits Your Skin and Body

Emu oil fat lipids mimic those found in the top layer of your skin. Emu oil is almost 100% triglyceride lipid, this type of fatty compound is so similar to the fatty acids found in human skin that it can absorb into the skin faster than other oils and creams.

The Forsyth Institute in Boston, Massachusetts released a study on Emu oil and its anti-inflammatory properties, showing the remarkable effect topically applied to the skin. The results were promising in that Emu oil significantly reduced swelling from inflammation within 6 to 12 hours when applied directly.

Another research study at Boston University discovered that Emu oil may actually stimulate skin-cell regeneration and help those with thinning skin, bed sores, and arthritis.

A Major Antioxidant and Healing Agent

The Aborigines have used the Emu for thousands of years as a source of food, clothing, jewelry and even the oil as a natural remedy. The Aborigines discovered when applied to the skin, Emu oil offered protection from the sun, was an excellent moisturizer, relieved muscle and joint pain, and was effective on bruises.

Vitamin E is added to Emu Oil as a natural preservative. It is also a major antioxidant and healing agent.

Emu oil also contains:

• Vitamin A, a known skin repairer and antioxidant
• Linoleic acid, which helps to ease muscle aches and joint pain
• Oleic acid, a proven skin cell regenerator and anti-wrinkle agent
• Sapogens, proven skin softeners
• Terpines, known antiseptics

Enjoying the Beneficial Results of Emu Oil

Emu oil is the 100% natural way to pamper your skin while avoiding any trace of chemicals or harmful additives. Unlike other oils, Emu oil is totally void of phospholipids, just like human skin is also lacking phospholipids.

When you’ve used oil-based products containing phospholipids, the skin naturally attempts to block penetration. This barrier leaves the lotion or cream on top of the skin surface. Because emu oil has no phospholipids, the skin allows it to penetrate and enter much deeper and faster. This deep penetration allows superior skin moisturizing and more effective delivery of healing properties of medications, and helps pain relievers to thoroughly reach muscles and joints.

When combined with pain relieving ingredients, such as menthol, Emu oil’s deep penetration allows it to go directly to the muscles and joints and contributes to a reduction in:

• Inflammation
• Joint pain
• Stiffness
• Bruising
• Muscle pain

Emu Oil Moisturizing Properties Can:

• Smooth and condition rough elbows, knees and heels
• Soften and moisturize hands and cuticles
• Reduce the itching and flakiness associated with dry skin
• Protect the face and hands from wind and weather

Emu oil skin care products contain powerful antioxidants, as well as a known skin cell regenerator and anti-wrinkle agent, helping to improve the condition of aging skin. Offering both skin-thickening and moisturizing properties, by moisturizing, lubricating and replenishing dry or irritated skin on the face, hands and body, emu oil skin care products help counter wrinkles and dry, scaly, thinning skin that commonly occur with aging. Plus it prevents additional moisture loss by forming a protective barrier.

Emu Oil Benefits Do More Than Just Moisturize and Soften The Skin

Emu Oil is a great makeup remover. Try a few drops in your bath as a moisturizer. Emu Oil can also improve the appearance of:

• Scars
• Burns
• Stretch Marks
• Wrinkles
• Sun Damage
• Damaged skin after Surgery
• Damaged skin after Injury
• Damaged skin from Acne
• Damaged skin from Pregnancy

When you use products containing Emu oil make sure you are purchasing from a reputable company. In order for the oil to be effective, it must be processed correctly at the right temperatures.

Because of the high value of the oil it sometimes is mixed with other less expensive oils without the consumer knowing.

Buy from a company that will validate their product with analytics and stand behind it with a warranty.

Discover how emu oil is a versatile and effective solution for inflammation, bruising, burns, muscle pain, hair loss and much more. It’s 100% natural, non-toxic and gentle on all skin types.

Find out instantly how you can use emu oil as a safe and effective natural solution for painful arthritis and more. Emu oil can also be used for hair loss, treating inflammation, bruising, burns, muscle pain, and so much more. It’s natural, non-toxic and gentle on all skin types.

• You can survive 3 weeks without food
• You can survive 3 days without water
• You can scarcely survive 3 minutes without oxygen!

What is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a painless, relaxing treatment in which a person is exposed to mildly increased pressure. This results in safely increasing the body’s absorption of oxygen throughout the tissues, organs, and brain.

Treatment with mHBOT is administered using an inflatable or portable soft chamber. The chamber delivers room air (about 23% oxygen) at slightly elevated pressures which increases the body’s oxygen supply. Sometimes, pure oxygen is delivered via facemask in mHBOT chambers.

The mHBOT procedure is completely comfortable and noninvasive, and is available at many health spas as well as at integrative medical centers.

Increasing oxygen in the body’s fluids and cells has numerous health benefits. It has been shown to help the injured and sick to heal while…

• Promoting relaxation
• Stimulating the body’s healing process and natural immunity
• Reducing fatigue
• Improving energy, stamina, and endurance
• Strengthening the heart and lungs
• Relieving stiffness and swelling in muscles and joints
• Improving brain function, sleeping, and cell rejuvenation
• Protecting against allergens, infection, colds, and flu
• Advancing the growth of new blood vessels
• Decreasing inflammation
• Flushing out toxins and waste
• Improving mental clarity
• Balancing the body’s overall well-being

Helping to Heal Since 1965

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a long-standing reputation for healing. It has been used in hospitals in cases of severe illness such as decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and gangrene since 1965.

However, the availability of mHBOT via portable, mild-pressure chambers has vastly increased the recognition and popularity of oxygen treatment for better overall health.

Our Depleted Oxygen Supply

You may wonder why we would need oxygen therapy when oxygen is plentiful in the air around us. However, the truth is that our air is not what it used to be!

Analyses of air bubbles trapped in fossilized amber show that in earlier times, our air contained about 35% oxygen. Scientists believe that remained true until just a few hundred years ago.

Today, the average oxygen content of our air has plummeted to about 20%. In some polluted urban areas, that number can dip as low as 12-15%, and most cities hover between 15-18%. This becomes very concerning when you consider that air with less than 7% oxygen cannot support human life.

Some scientists speculate that the lowered level of oxygen content in our air could be partly responsible for the dramatic rise in cancers of all kinds, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic degenerative diseases.

This is why mHBOT is so powerful… by making more oxygen available to the body, it allows the body to thrive, protect itself, and heal as nature intended.

Increases Oxygen Concentration up to 15 Times, and Even Heals Damaged Brain Tissue

Treatment with mHBOT enhances oxygen delivery throughout the body as it delivers up to 15 times the oxygen concentration to all the body fluids, including…

• Plasma
• Cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord
• Lymph
• Intracellular fluids

Oxygen therapy can even increase oxygen levels in areas where blood supply is blocked or restricted due to strokes, injuries, illness, or long-term substance abuse.

Scientists and doctors used to believe that damaged brain tissue could never heal. However, it has now been shown that oxygen therapy can actually lead to healing of brain tissue and restored function, even in the case of old injuries.

Oxygen for Weight Loss

Because oxygen thins the blood and increases circulation, it also speeds up your metabolism. This means you burn more calories just by breathing!

Furthermore, oxygen is food for our cells. When our cells have enough oxygen, they are more likely to function properly. However, when our cells lack oxygen, they send signals to our brain, demanding to be fed.

Since 90% of our energy is derived from oxygen and only 10% from food and water, it makes sense that being better oxygenated would lead to feeling less hungry.

A Key to Better Sex

Those who have experienced mHBOT suggest that this treatment improves sex drive for both men and women. Some women report that mHBOT also leads to more intense orgasms and multiple orgasms. Men report being able to sustain erections longer, as well as more intense orgasms and a faster “recovery period.”

Fighting Cancer and Disease

According to Dr. Max Gerson, founder of the Gerson cancer therapy, oxygen plays a vital role in preventing and curing cancer. “The ideal task of cancer therapy is to restore the function of the oxidizing systems in the entire organism,” says Dr. Gerson.

And in 1926, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg of Berlin declared that the cause of cancer was lack of oxygen at the cellular level. Therefore, any therapy that improves oxygenation of the body is likely to benefit the fight against cancer.

In addition, oxygen therapy is known to boost immune function, which is also critical in fighting cancer. This is because a healthy immune system is able to fight off the mutant cells that, if unchecked, become cancer.

The positive effects of oxygenation on the body’s circulation, digestion, and alkalinity are also key factors in how mHBOT may help fight cancer.

Relief from Headaches and Sleep Disorders

According to George H. Sands, M.D. of the Beth Israel Medical Center in New York,
oxygen treatment of headaches was first mentioned in literature in 1939, when the breathing of pure oxygen was used successfully by Dr. Alvaraz at Mayo Clinic for severe “migraine” attacks. “[Dr. Alvaraz] found that 80% of “migrainous” headaches were completely or significantly relieved” with oxygen treatment, says Dr. Sands.

Many who suffer typical tension headaches report significant relief with mHBOT sessions. Those afflicted with sleep apnea have also found help through oxygen therapy, most likely because it relieves stress and flushes out the accumulated toxins.

Oxygenize for Better Health

The bottom line is that oxygen is vital to every physiological function of the human body.

In addition to all of the benefits above, oxygen therapy has demonstrated positive results for depression, aches and pains, digestion, circulation, memory, physical stamina, and endurance. In addition—as evidenced by the popularity of “oxygen bars” in fashionable night clubs—oxygen offers a quick and effective cure for hangovers.

Single sessions of mHBOT are certainly beneficial. However, many practitioners suggest that according to research, 40 or more treatments will bring the most dramatic benefits, especially if sessions are scheduled daily. A simple web search should help you locate various providers of mHBOT in your area.

There are approximately 300,000 species of plants in the world. The majority of the pain-relieving and life-saving drugs we have come to depend on are produced from this varied flora. In fact, three quarters of our drugs were originally extracted from plants, and one quarter of our medicines are still derived from plant tissue.

Take for instance, the anti-cancer compound paclitaxel (brand names include Taxel, Onxol and Nov-Onxol), which inhibits tumor growth by suppressing cell division. Paclitaxel is the most popular drug for the treatment of breast, lung, colon, ovarian, head and neck cancer, and is also an effective therapy for AIDS-related Kaposi’s Sarcoma. Culled from the bark of the yew tree, paclitaxel has proven difficult and expensive to produce because it cannot be chemically synthesized.

For example, aspirin was originally produced from willow bark, but is now chemically synthesized, which means it can be manufactured in large quantities cheaply because it is made from an inexpensive starter material and transformed into aspirin through a series of chemical reactions.

When an organic compound such as paclitaxel cannot be chemically synthesized, the manufacturing process becomes expensive and ecologically damaging. Paclitxel production depends on mature trees and yields harmful by-products. In the 1990s scientists discovered a way to produce paclitaxel using the tissue of a related shrub, but the process still was not very effective, as the amount produced proved to be unstable and insufficient.

An Inexpensive Way to Harness the Healing Power of Plant Stem Cells

A recent study published in Nature Biotechnology provides a promising solution to the arduous and expensive process of paclitxel production. Scientists have discovered that paclitaxel can be manufactured in large quantities inexpensively and sustainably using stem cells derived from trees.

The stem cells produced are self-regenerating tree cells that can be engineered to create a plentiful supply of the drug that is much cheaper than the cost of current manufacturing methods.

The study, conducted by the University of Edinburgh and the Korean company Unhwa Bioteck, promises not to be an isolated event, as scientists have also cultured plant stem cells from other medicinal plants. Stem cell technology could feasibly be used to make many other pharmaceutical products, making these drugs more commercially available and more inexpensive for all.

Lead research professor Gary Loake, of the University of Edinburgh’s School of Biological Sciences said:

“Plants are a rich source of medicine—around one in four drugs in use today is derived from plants. Our findings could deliver a low-cost, clean and safe way to harness the healing power of plants, potentially helping to treat cancer, and other conditions.”

Fortunately, plant stem cells use is not a controversial issue like human stem cell production is. Further research into the field of stem cell use promises to uncover many more applications and cures. Stay tuned!
