Healthy or Just a Pretty Name? How to Make Sense About Sugar#family#android#follow

 By

I get a lot of questions from readers and at conferences about sugar. It can be confusing to make sense of the numerous names for sugar or to determine what a serving size is, but hopefully my answers will help clarify things just like my email did for this reader…

Manufacturers craftily disguise sugar in many forms. Some of them sound healthy, and others you’d have no idea they were actually sugar. Don’t believe me? Take a look at these 50 – yes, 50! – alternate names for sugar.

  1. Barley malt
  2. Beet sugar
  3. Brown sugar
  4. Buttered syrup
  5. Cane juice crystals…

Can Celiac Disease Affect the Brain?#ASD#iBelieve#Repost

 WHEN Andre H. Lagrange, a neurologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, saw the ominous white spots on the patient’s brain scan, he considered infection or lymphoma, a type of cancer. But tests ruled out both. Meanwhile, anti-epilepsy drugs failed to halt the man’s seizures. Stumped, Dr. Lagrange turned to something the mother of the 30-year-old man kept repeating. The fits coincided, she insisted, with spells of constipation and diarrhea.

That, along with an odd rash, prompted Dr. Lagrange to think beyond the brain. Antibody tests, followed by an intestinal biopsy, indicated celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the gut triggered by the gluten proteins in wheat and other grains….

Some of the benefits from setting aside a known Carcinogenic Wheat – but did you know which wheat is carcinogenic?#ASD#Family#iBelieve

Weight loss, often to astounding degrees, relief from acid reflux and bowel urgency, freedom from joint pain, reversal of eczema and other skin rashes, no more depression or anxiety just a few of the surprising and unexpected health transformations…

“Five years ago I was basically bedridden. I went to doctor after doctor and they never had any answers. Everything was ‘normal.’ I vomited every morning for five years, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, had been hospitalized twice with blood pressure at one point of 210/115. I had chronic pain, exhausted. At 34 years old, I didn’t have much of a life.

I started working with a nutritionist who suggested leaky gut syndrome. I went low-carb and felt a little better. I went gluten-free and saw a slight improvement.

I read Wheat Belly and it was like a light bulb went off…

How Anyone Can Eat Healthy On A Tight Budget#family#iBelieve#MS

By JJ Virgin

 A few years ago, while promoting The Virgin Diet, I spoke at a local health food store. Afterwards, during the Q&A, the last question caught me off-guard. “How do you expect a mom with an out-of-work husband and three children to afford grass-fed beef?” asked a woman from the back row.

I had my answers in place. Healthy food becomes inexpensive health care, I reasoned, and those bargain menus aren’t such a great deal when you factor in bigger-picture issues like obesity and diabetes. If grass-fed beef becomes too expensive, simply stick with mostly plant foods.

Yet her question stayed with me. As a single mom with two teenage sons, I understood her situation all too well.

I became determined to dig a little deeper about eating healthy without spending half your paycheck. On my drive home that day, I brainstormed these 10 effective strategies. I’ve long employed them to stretch even the tightest food budget…

If you could have a glimpse into your parents/grandparents past, everyday lives#iBelieve#health#ufollowme

If you have spent time perusing my blog, you will probably find that I have a love of learning, especially in those things that benefit our health, freedoms, and family life.

As of late, I have noticed benefits in returning to some old ways.  You know, cooking from scratch more, Knowing what is in the food you feed your family.  I have to chuckle, because that liver and onions my mom used to make, is probably loaded with good benefits. 

My mom grew up on a family farm, and knew a lot about cooking, and food.  She would mill her own wheat, freeze hand-picked corn, make homemade jellies, and the like.  I used to feel guilty about the butter, and homemade hot cocoa made from whole, raw milk. 

Now I wish I could go back and observe all the little details of my mother’s, and grandmother’s cooking.  With discussion of nutrient dense foods, I find a lot of them sound like what I used to find on my dinner table growing up.

Vegetables from a family garden, bulk higher quality grains, and meats that source from the nutrient rich parts of the animal.  Less processed foods, and making choices of grocery items that have short, recognizable ingredient lists.

What I would give, to go back and observe first hand, and learn little tips from their ways.  How I appreciate all the little details that I can remember. We have a lot of fun as siblings when we reminisce, and try to recall as much as we can.

Are you eating Toxic dwarf wheat?#ASD#iBelieve#Celiac

If you eat grains, then take a look at, wheatbellyblog.com.

Over 50 years ago, our everyday wheat changed, mainly due to a hybridized plant that delivered 10 times the yield of prior wheat plants.  This appeared as a wonderful discovery, but decades later we now know that this dwarf wheat contains glutens that the human body cannot digest.  Thus, leading to many autoimmune disorders, and very possibly the four-fold increase in celiac disease present today. You can probably guess that this is another case with a lack of safety tests completed prior to placing this product on the market.

I have been reading, Wheat Belly, by cardiologist William Davis.  One of the best health/nutrition books I have ever read. I have backed off the toxic wheat, and have noticed an overall better state of health in a short period of time.

If you eat grains, I hope you take the time to visit this blog or read the book, and find out for yourself what health benefits lie ahead.

 Love this site, so much helpful information.  I especially love listening to the podcasts while I am about at home or in the car. 

New tidbit to me, wheat has changed significantly in the past 100 years.  The common dwarf wheat plant, contains proteins that the human body cannot breakdown, and it strikes an immune response in the body, which can lead to various autoimmune diseases. 

Adjusting the diet can reverse or arrest symptoms tied to this autoimmune reaction. 

Celiac disease can be present with symptoms other than intestinal symptoms.

Cyrex Laboratories, is the place to go, for the most accurate, Celiac testing.

Does Your Dentist Heat-Sterilize the Handpieces Between Patients?#Health#Child##rise_up

The Next Tip for the September Immunity Boost!

Whistleblower, David L. Lewis, PHD, sheds light in his book, Science For Sale, regarding the necessity of heat-sterilizing dental handpieces between each patient.  He writes, “Dental drills run on air pressure controlled with foot-pedals.  When the pressure is cut off, suck-back causes blood, saliva, and other patient materials to be drawn back into the handpiece.”

Dr. Lewis discusses in his book, that the manufacturers of dental drills suggest: heat-sterilization for proper cleaning.

Up until recently, only a small percentage of dentists nationwide have been heat-sterilizing between patients, most likely due to following the ADA’s guidelines. Hopefully, more dentists will insure this level of cleanliness in their practices in the near future.

A great question to ask your dentist before your next visit.
