Some good information on B group vitamins from a newsletter received from Nutrition and Healing:
Dear Reader,
Remember the good old days when your mind and memory was like a steel trap? You could tick off every family member’s birthday and anniversary at the drop of a hat!
For years, we’ve been told that memory loss is just a natural part of ageing – and that it’s only going to get worse over the years.
If that’s NEVER sounded acceptable to you, it’s time to start making some changes – because new research proves that you could start turning the tide on brain fog, memory loss and even depression.
And all it takes is just a couple of months, starting with a simple B vitamin regimen that you can begin right away.
Now, we all know that B vitamins are good for you. They support thyroid function, and they’re crucial to the health of your brain, heart, bones, and arteries.
But Korean scientists wanted to find out specifically whether an influx of B vitamins could ease the symptoms of mental decline by decreasing a potentially harmful amino acid in the brain called homocysteine.
In the study, Korean researchers gave vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid to seniors living in an assisted facility.
Not only did homocysteine levels drop in those who supplemented with B vitamins – but also their memories improved and depression faded.
After just three short months, their results on a popular mental evaluation were dramatically improved.
And OF COURSE they were less depressed! I mean, is there anything more depressing than losing your precious memories?
B complex vitamins are also known as nature’s “chill pill” because they can help melt away even the toughest stress.
Elderly patients in particular tend to be deficient in some B vitamins because of absorption issues that arise as we age. And if you’re deficient in B vitamins, you could notice a real difference even more quickly than the subjects in the study.
Supplementing with B vitamins is a good idea even if you haven’t noticed too many of those “senior moments” occurring. You may just see your brain fog lifting and experience a better mood as a result.

This is really hard core, and truthful!
‘If medicine takes the form of a game, as Ivan Illich posited, then the doctor is the umpire representing the social body. His job: making sure that everyone plays the game and follows the rules.
Rule 1: you can never leave the game
Rule 2: the umpire determines which ways of dying are “acceptable” and no other ways may be used.
The only allowable death is that sanctioned by the doctor-priest, and through this intensive medicalization of death, “health care” has grown into a monolithic global religion.’*
Note: Rules 1 and 2 apply to the “game” of civilization. Civilization neurotically prevents people opting out of the “game”–unless it’s by dying, but even then, only under state-sanctioned supervision. The clue is in how homeless people are treated. They are “non-participants” and the System can’t STAND it.
*Quote adapted from The Global Freedom Truthiversity Health and Medicine Faculty –

“If man made it, don’t eat it!” was a famous quote from one of the greatest health legends of the 20th century, Jack Lalanne.
The more I read the more true his words ring.
That’s the tide I swim against with Healthelicious Foods.
A famous Rugby League ex-player reordered 4 of my NutriBlast powders this week and texted me, “I love this stuff!”

Doing things right takes more time and money.
Producing bad products can usually be done for far less time and $.
All other things being equal, your health and lifespan is directly proportional to the quality of your food.
As is the case with most things in life, you get what you pay for.
You buy cheap, processed food and you get an unhealthy shorter life.
You buy quality ingredients and spend the time to make your own meals and you miss all those fun visits to the doctor and monthly drug prescriptions with their 75 side-effects per drug.
Sorry. That’s just the way it goes. You miss out big time on the bad stuff.
Over to you now. It’s your life and your choice.
But choose careully, only one choice allowed per lifetime.
Nah, just kidding.
Every bite you take in your life you are choosing health or sickness.
But be careful, the years pass and those bites add up mighty quickly!

No humour there!

I received this from Ty Bollinger at The Truth About Cancer and thought it worth sharing with you.
Hi Tom,
In the past few years yoga pants have become synonymous with lounging around the house, running errands or heading to the gym.
They’ve become almost a default outfit for most women because they’re handy, comfortable, and you can wear them on just about any occasion.
But what you may not know, is that these comfy pants could be making you (and everyone else) sick.
Research has shown that hazardous chemicals such as phthalates, perfluorinated chemicals, dimethylformamide, and others are found in most sportswear.
There have been numerous studies showing that the substances used to make yoga pants contain known hormone disruptors and even have direct links to cancer.
This article by Elon Jacobs outlines some of the risks of wearing yoga pants on a daily basis (and it’s not just limited to women).
Men’s workout gear contains the same harmful chemicals and have been linked to testicular and other cancers as well.
No one’s saying that you shouldn’t wear these cozy pants, but you might not want to wear them all day, every day.
Go here to learn more about the chemicals in your yoga pants.
Let me know what you think about this article in the comments section below the article.
Namaste,
Ty Bollinger

Another piece of the jigsaw puzzle drops into place! A Michigan State University researcher has found that a common food additive may be linked to a rise in food allergies.

I make no secret of the fact that I take about 30 tablets and capsules a day as well as the products I make myself. There are some supplements I cannot purchase in other than capsule form and yet others I am not legally allowed to put in my products. CoQ10 is one I have consumed for years.
Tonight I received this promotional piece for a CoQ10 supplement that has a lot of data in it worth you knowing. As well as a link to the article and advertisement, I have also added a link to the CoQ10 I just purchased from iHerb.com in case you also want to boost your cell regeneration too. It has PQQ in it as well as CoQ10.

A next-generation coenzyme is being introduced called pyrroloquinoline quinone or PQQ that has been shown to induce mitochondrial biogenesis—the growth of new mitochondria in aging cells. While CoQ10 optimizes mitochondrial function, PQQ activates genes that govern mitochondrial reproduction, protection, and repair.
