Breast Feeding – Some Interesting Data

“A ‘cold’, a viral infection, or anything that disturbs immune responses can result in subtle changes in the gram negative bacterial flora of the the gut, stimulating them to produce endotoxin. This is absorbed into the blood stream, not adequately detoxified, and results in inflammatory responses in the mucous membrane linings of the middle ear… …that endotoxin is the initial cause of the inflammatory response in acute otitis media…. …Dr Robert Reisinger in America had first alerted me to this group of substances and their relationship to SIDS……The reason why proper breast-feeding provides a known and large amount of protection against otitis media becomes obvious. Breast-feeding tends to prevent the overgrowth of abnormal forms of intestinal organisms that tend, under certain conditions, to produce endotoxin… …Finally, there are two substances that are known to be effective as rapid detoxifiers of endotoxin – Vitamin C and erythromycin -they are both in ‘Archie’s triple injection’. The relationship between SIDS, sudden unexplained shock, sudden unexplained unconsciousness, and otitis media is worthy of consideration. If endotoxin is the ‘cause’ of otitis and also the ‘cause’ of SIDS, sudden unexplained unconsciousness and unexplained shock — as I now know (at least there is a association), then otitis media should be found in a significant number of SIDS cases. That this is so is clearly demonstrated in a number of reported studies. ” Dr Archie Kalokerinos MD (p311 Medical Pioneer)
“One bottle of formula is enough to change a baby’s gut dramatically, and it takes two weeks of breastfeeding to return the gut back to normal. (Personal communication, Dr Robert Reisinger) How can this happen? E Coli is the main culprit. This bacteria is a putrefactive protein loving bacteria. The protein content of human breast milk is lower than in any other mammal, and the protein content of formula or any other milk supplement has a direct influence on the numbers of E Coli in the gut . Not only does the acid gut and very low protein content of breastmilk provide a more hostile environment for E Coli, but breastmilk also contain neutralising factors against E Coli.
Several studies have shown that babies who died of SIDS have a high prevalence of E Coli in the flora of the gut. Some suggest that the E coli “have acquired a plasmid which confers toxigenicity” (Med J Aust, 1989, Vol 151, pg 538) But E. Coli is intrinsically toxic. The outer coating (lipopolysaccharide) is the toxic component, but the key to the toxicity level is the speed with which it can multiply, given the right circumstances. These factors include bottle feeding (which results inmore gram negative bacteria, and a protein and alkaline level favouring E Coli), stress, overheating, viruses, vitamin deficiencies AND the suppressive actions of vaccines on the reticuloendothelial system.
In 1974, Dr Robert Reisinger presented a paper at an International SIDS conference. He quoted many authors who found SIDS predominantly among bottle-fed babies. Included in the authors quoted (but not referenced) was Shirley Tonkin from New Zealand:
“Tonkin reported that in her series of 86 SIDS cases, only two were breast-fed. Since twenty-five percent of her control population were breast fed, she should have had 21 cases of SIDS in breast-fed infants if the risk were the same in both breast-fed and bottle-fed.”
“Coombs stated that if SIDS were relatively as common in the breast-fed as in the bottle-fed infant he should have had 17 breast-fed cases in his series, whereas at that time he had not one.” Hilary Butler

NutriBlast Testimonial

People (very) close to me have been telling me for years that I should collect video testimonials from those for whom my products have made a big difference. Well, time and opportuniy coincided last week and here’s the result:

I am stoked that Derek is getting more mileage from NutriBlast than anything alse he has tried.
What I also find very interesting is that the people he has spoken to about it in glowing terms are skeptical, even when he is not the vendor! It seems many of us have been lied to and otherwise let down so often that we are reluctant to believe anything, even from friends. Geez! To what deep depths have we fallen as a society and what a long climb up from the bottom of the hole into which we have dug ourselves.

If you would like to road test NutriBlast to see if it delivers you more energy and mental clarity, head on over to http://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Greens-Plus.html

Are You Keeping Score On Your Intuition?

From a newsletter by Scott Bywater.
I’m a big fan of testing and measuring. I don’t like anything that’s wishy-washy.
I like it to be proven, measurable, factual.
That’s one of the things that attracted me to direct response marketing.
And yet, I’m a big believer in the unseen, in intuition.
But only because I do this…
Whenever I get an intuition, I write it down in a book.
It doesn’t whisper.
It’s in the background.
And often, you have to take time out of the beta brainwave and move into the alpha brain wave (i.e. go and grab a coffee, go for a swim, or for a walk in the botanic gardens) for that intuition to kick in.
Anyway, you’re probably skeptical.
But here’s what I suggest you do.
Write down your intuitions in a 3 column sheet.
First column = intuition.
Second column = actioned, yes or no?
Third column = end result.
Do this and I bet you’ll find you’ve been ignoring one of the biggest goldmines accessible to you.
There’s a reason why everyone from Oprah to Donald Trump to Jim Carrey believes in it.
Got an intuition we should have a chat about growing your business?
