How Do You Like Your Eggs?

The good folk at Nuferm, from where I source the 2012 probiotics I put in my top bars and powders, sent this Easter themed email that I thought to share with you as it has some very good recommendations for helping girls to keep “down there” in tip top condition!
Ovarian Health Issues are on the rise. Here are some quick facts & suggestions to keep your goody basket in great health this easter.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts are common in women during their reproductive years, little fluid filled sacs that are produced during each menstrual cycle, commonly known as a ‘follicle’ which will release the ova/egg during the time of ovulation. If pregnancy does not occur, the follicle typically breaks down while being shed along with the uterus lining.
Ovarian Cysts can form when this process does not develop properly the follicle enlarges while filling with fluid. An ultrasound or laparoscopy can be used to diagnose ovarian cysts.
Types of ovarian cysts
Simple cysts or Functional cysts
The most common, usually harmless and typically resolve themselves within 3 or 4 menstrual cycles.
Endometrial Cysts or Chocolate cysts
These cysts occur when endometrial tissue attached itself to the ovaries, usually filled with blood, these can cause serious ovarian and fertility issues if left untreated.
Dermoid Cysts
These can contain various types of human tissue including hair, nails and teeth.
Cyst-adenoma
These cysts form from cells lining the outer surface of the ovaries.
Symptoms of ovarian cysts
Ovarian cysts can often present without any symptoms at all, other times the following can be experienced.
Pressure caused by the enlarged cysts can leave you with a feeling fullness and discomfort within the abdomen.
Painful sexual intercourse.
Disrupted/irregular menstrual cycle and/or painful periods.
Treatment options
Supporting our bodies with organic, healthy foods, minerals and probiotics to ensure optimal thyroid and hormonal functions are met, may reduce the symptoms of ovarian cysts and encourage healing.
Avoid diary products – dairy products have been known to worsen the effects of cystic formations within the body.
Avoid margarine and processed vegetable oils.
Increase Iodine, Selenium and Vitamin D Intake
Iodine deficiencies may increase the risks of cysts within the ovaries, breast and thyroid gland. Treating the thyroid with nutritional medicine has been known to resolve issues related to cystic growths.
Selenium & Vitamin D have also been known to shrink, drastically reduce the size of the ovarian cysts.

So you want to slow the aging process of your body?

There is a wonderful stem cell boosting ingredient called AFA also known as Blue Green Klamath Algae. Today I a newsletter telling me how good it is as an anti-aging supplement. Here is the newsletter on it.

On my 40th birthday my mother said to me: Son, if you’re going to fight the ageing process, know this: You are going to lose.
Very true and wise words.
However, my thinking is a little less fatalistic.
As you age, your body’s immune system weakens, making you more vulnerable to infections and disease…
If that is the case, then the opposite is also true: Strengthening you body’s defences can help slow down the ageing process.
But where does one begin?
By taking a handful of supplements every day?
Not at all!
In the last 10 years, an enormous amount of scientific research has been carried out on blue-green algae (scientific name Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA for short).
This algae is not only a powerful antioxidant (fighting inflammation and oxidative stress, and boosting immunity) but also contains a high concentration of nutrients (over 65 vitamins, minerals and enzymes), the complete spectrum of eight essential amino acids and ten non-essential amino acids, and has the most biologically active chlorophyll of any known food, which is instrumental in promoting good health.
One of the most exciting discoveries is that AFA stimulates natural killer cells – white blood cells that have an important function in immune protection by searching out and destroying cancerous and virally-infected cells.
Studies have shown that within just two hours of ingestion, AFA boosted the circulation of Natural Killer cells by a massive 40 per cent.
AFA is also one of the best sources of beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acids. Animal studies have shown that it significantly raises blood levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – two omega-3 fatty acids that are known to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, reduce inflammation and prevent depression.
Arthritis, eczema, depression…
The blue pigment found in AFA, called phycocyanin, has been found to be a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Not only does phycocyanin block the production of a particularly nasty inflammatory chemical called leukotriene B4 that is implicated in causing diseases like arthritis and eczema, it has also been found to be one of the most powerful natural COX-2 inhibitors.
COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) is an enzyme that causes inflammation, suppresses the immune system and promotes cancer. Pharmaceutical COX-2 inhibitors, often prescribed for arthritis, have recently been shown to carry alarming risks of heart disease or stroke, so having a safe and effective natural alternative like AFA is now even more important.
AFA’s benefits don’t end there – people taking it have reported improvements in their mood, mental energy, mental clarity and quality of life. This is not surprising, as AFA is a unique source of a mood-enhancing substance called phenylethylamine (PEA).
PEA is a chemical produced naturally in the brain and is responsible for the good feeling you get when absorbed in a pleasurable activity. In one study, a dose of 10mg a day of PEA reduced depression in 60 per cent of patients, a success rate better than many prescription drugs, with no unpleasant side-effects.
As you can see, there is no doubt that AFA packs a powerful punch when it comes to boosting your body’s defenses and slowing down the ageing process.

I received this email from the makers of That Vitamin Movie:

Hey Tom,

Have you ever heard that vitamins could help cure cancer and wondered was it all just hocus pocus or marketing BS? Were people just giving false hope to make a quick buck? I’d often wondered the same thing.

That’s why four years ago I set off across the globe with Michael Beattie to film That Vitamin Movie. I had the privilege of interviewing 23 experts on using vitamins to halt and heal disease. It was a life changing time for both of us.
Only a year before I had seen my own “ten years plus” history with depression halted in it’s tracks with a simple vitamin protocol. Now Mike and I were sitting in the same room as some of the people who formulated and perfected these treatments. It was mind blowing for both of us.

We also sat with world class doctors who had pioneered Vitamin C cancer treatments – and we got to ask them all about it in great detail.

One of the frustrating things about finally making the film was that we had to condense all of that footage (over 18 hours) down to an hour and a half. [Some fantastic footage was left out] as you can imagine.

It’s part of an event called Vitamin Mastery. Each day there will be two full length interviews from the movie as well as two other interviews from the most recent ”Vitamin Summit” AND a daily episode of a foundational course on vitamins and nutrition from Andrew Saul. It’s called the Nutritional Fortress. That’s a lot of vitamin wisdom right there.

We cover cancer, depression, ADHD, heart issues, diabetes and much more.
I’d love to see you there.

Trevor

PS. I forgot to say – you can actually see the full documentary “That Vitamin Movie” is available in glorious HD right now at”

Truth About Fukushima — The Entire World is in Danger

Fukushima_Update
The lack of communication and appropriate response is alarming. Fortunately the article lists some foods you can ingest to help. It fails to mention two of the best, raw brown seaweed (Modifilan) and B3 (Niacin, not Niacinamide) that help remove radioactive toxins from the body. And yes, both of those are in my bars and powders.

GMO DNA Transferred To Humans

GMO DNA Transferred To Humans
In a new study published in the peer reviewed Public Library of Science (PLOS), researchers emphasize that there is sufficient evidence that meal-derived DNA fragments carry complete genes that can enter into the human circulation system through an unknown mechanism. (0) I wonder if the scientists at these biotech corporations have already identified this method?

I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

Gun_Display
This is a well researched article. Here is a comment explaining the vital necessity for a population to be able to protect itself from a tyrannical government.

Wrong target! Read this: “And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms….The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants” (Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. Taken from Jefferson, On Democracy 20, S. Padover ed., 1939)

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined” (Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836)

“The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — (Thomas Jefferson)

“Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good” (George Washington)

“Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.” (Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697])

“You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you….There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible.” (Niccolo Machiavelli in “The Prince”)

For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution.” [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822)]

Tom’s comment:
Good people with guns are required to stop people with guns doing bad things.
The government want a monopoly on force.

America’s Founding Fathers knew first hand that there can be a tyrannical government, which is why they envisaged an armed population able to stop ALL people with guns, even the government, doing bad things.

You cannot stop a tyrannical government, armed with sophisticated weapons, if all you have is a pea shooter. Not datums of comparable magnitude.

Tyrannical governments want a disarmed populace.

Look at your history. Over 100 million people killed last century BY GOVERNMENTS! Most of them first disarmed their population. Even Russian President Putin decried the call for Americans to disarm their population.
