How to Stay Healthy and Lose Weight Without Fancy Equipment or Secret Diets

Many people are looking for secret diets, and spending money on fancy equipment just to try to stay healthy and lose some pounds. Their is no secret diet except cutting quantity, eating healthy, and cutting back on sugar. That is how you keep on track with living a healthy lifestyle, but thats only one side. The other side is exercise. You always will need to exercise on top of changing your diet. You don't need some cutting edge equipment to stay in shape and exorcise. The best over all work out you can do is a good cardio work out that involves running if you are younger, or just even walking if you are older. When you start off it will be hard, but if you keep going you will find that you can walk or run more and more each and every day. It's ok to start off slow, in fact that is exactly how you do it, so you don't end up too sore to want to do it again the next day. Make sure you are consistent with your running/walking and do it every day. These 2 things are all you need to know if you want to lose weight. Keep on going, you can do it.

Is Knowledge Power? Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing

 The completion of the sequencing of the human genome in 2003 was an outstanding scientific accomplishment. This achievement, together with advances in technology and the forces of capitalism and competition, has brought genetic testing directly to the consumer. However, this Pandora’s box is proving difficult to manage for many people.

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests are marketed to consumers primarily through the Internet. Consumers are motivated by education, recreation, and preventive health care, but the answers obtained from the tests do not necessarily provide meaningful information. Researchers are still learning about the implications of certain genes and how they relate to disease risk and development, and the value of the genetic information is still unclear. Further, new surveys are reporting that physicians are not confident to interpret the results of DTC testing. The clinical relevance is in doubt and physicians are often not prepared for patients who show up with genetic test results in hand.

People most certainly have the right to information regarding their own health, including their genome sequence, and people should be proactive in making informed health decisions. But, are DTC genetic tests helpful in making these decisions? DTC companies offer testing for everything from genetic markers and mutations to entire genome-wide associations. An individual can find out if he or she has a genetic variation that predisposes him or her to a certain type of cancer. A man can find out if he will inherit a specific disease that has affected another family member, or a woman can evaluate her genome to choose the best diet or cosmetic products. Families can uncover relationships with royalty or determine ethnic backgrounds. Some of these motivations are harmless, and have been termed “recreational genomics,” but what are the implications of tests that claim to make associations between genetics and health? What if they are wrong? Who will have access to the results?

Consumers need to be aware of the risks of obtaining too much information, particularly from companies or laboratories that are unregulated or unaccredited by any governing body. These types of genetic tests may have a high occurrence of false positives or false negatives. Patients should not be lured into a sense of security by having a “low risk” for certain diseases according to the test results. Also, genetic testing does not take into account other factors that affect the development of disease such as diet, exercise, or environment. Warnings to consumers surpass the universal caveat emptor; consumers should exercise extreme caution to not fall victim to money-making schemes that take advantage of innate human fears and curiosities.

Most consumers surveyed believe that genetic testing should be conducted and interpreted in conjunction with physicians, genetic counselors, or other medical professionals. Most also agree that tests, and the information that is acquired, should be tightly regulated.

Knowledge is power, and genetic testing is appropriate for predicting some diseases and empowering individuals to understand their health risks. However, the information should be interpreted carefully. Consumers and health care providers need to fully communicate with each other about the positives and negatives of genetic testing, the appropriate behavior changes brought about by the results, and the management of expectations of the test results.

Vaccines

“The March 1999 ‘Vaccines’ feature in Parenting magazine provided all propaganda one would expect from a subsidiary of Time, Inc. Time-Warner, Inc., the parent company, is a corporate member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Time's president, Richard D. Parsons, and the Editor-in-Chief of TIME, Norman Pearlstine, are longstanding CFR members. One CFR published policy objective is substantial worldwide depopulation including half of the current U.S.population being targeted. This population reduction program is largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Merck Fund, both financially and administratively linked to the Merck pharmaceutical company--the world's leading vaccine manufacturer.”-Dr. Len Horowitz, “Parenting with Deadly Timely Propaganda”

The FDA's VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System) receives around 10-12,000 reports of serious vaccination reactions annually, with about 1% fatal. However, the NVIC (National VaccineInformation Center) investigation on VAERS reports that based on aNew York study, 97.5% of vaccine related deaths and disabilities are not reported to/by the FDA. So the number of annual American fatalities is likely closer to 1000 and disabilities closer to 100,000. On top of this, the catch-all diagnosis SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), killing up to 10,000 babies a year, has been shown to “coincidentally” occur shortly after immunizations/vaccinations.

“Then there are vaccines. Everything from cancer viruses to DNA fragments and mercury has been found in vaccines. The entire vaccine supply is contaminated. And what is the government doing? Mandating more and more injections of our children. The ChicagoTribune reported in 2001 that 60 top scientists met in Chicago to present overwhelming evidence that cancer viruses found in monkeys are in many of the vaccines. A recent poll in the United Kingdom showed that over 80% of the population opposes the mandatory injection of the measles, mumps and rubella (mmr) vaccine. A news anchor has gone public with the fact that this vaccine has brain-damaged his child. Autism is up over 2000 percent and is rising in the industrial world proportionately with the increase of mandated vaccinations.” -Alex Jones, “911 Descent into Tyranny”

The long term adverse effects of vaccines have been documented and include chronic immunological and neurological disorders like ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, allergies, and cancer.

“A German study found correlations betweenvaccinations and 22 neurological conditions including attention deficit and epilepsy. The dilemma is that viral elements in vaccines may persist and mutate in the human body for years, with unknown consequences. Millions of children are partaking in an enormous, crude experiment; and no sincere, organized effort is being made by the medical community to track the negative side-effects or to determine the long term consequences … However, individual doctors may not be wholly to blame. As medical students, few have reason to question the information taught (which does not address the information presented in this report). Ironically, medicine is a field which demands conformity; there is little tolerance for opinions opposing the status quo. Doctors cannot warn you about what they themselves do not know, and with little time for further education once they begin practice, they are, in a sense, held captive by a system which discourages them from acquiring information independently and forming their own opinions. Those few that dare to question the status quo are frequently ostracized, and in any case, they are still legally bound to adhere to the system's legal mandates.” -Alan Philips, “Dispelling Vaccination Myths” (http://www.tetrahedron.org)

In the December 1994 Medical Post, Dr. Guylaine Lanctot, author of the best-seller “Medical Mafia,” said, “The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are actually changing our genetic code through vaccination ...10 years from now we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines."

After her independent study of the medical literature on vaccination, Dr. Viera Scheibner concluded, "there is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent any diseases. To the contrary, there is a great wealth of evidence that they cause serious side effects."

For decades, more than half of all childhood“immunizations,” about 12 of the 18 average vaccination doses, have contained the chemical preservative Thimerosal which is made from mercury, the second most toxic metal known to man (Uranium is first).That’s about 200 micrograms of mercury before the age of two, 30-40 times the amount of safe levels in adults. Another preservative found in most all vaccines is formaldehyde which is incredibly poisonous with no acceptable safe amounts in the human body.

Dr. Boyd Haley, Chairman of the Chemistry Department at theUniversity of Kentucky, one of the nation's leading experts on mercury poisoning said, “Thimerosal is one of the most toxic compounds I know of. I can't think of anything that I know of is more lethal."

Before the 1990s only 1 in every 10,000 children was diagnosed with autism. Nowadays over 1 in every 150 children born in America comes down with autism, and each time it’s those children who have been “immunized” who begin having seizures or start mentally going downhill right after vaccinations. The Amish, numbering around 200,000 who religiously oppose vaccinations, have never had a case of autism. Based on sheer statistics, they should have well over 100 autistic among their numbers right now, but they do not. They are mixed right into the Pennsylvania population with a rapidly increasing ratio of autistic kids, yet remain unaffected. It is clear that Thimerosal and Formaldehyde are causing “autism” in children, “alzheimer’s” in the elderly, and a wide range of other new neurological diseases.

“Indeed, it was contaminated live viral vaccines that spread this disease [AIDS] and likely others, including chronic fatigue, certain leukemias, and possibly Gulf War Syndrome as well, to vast populations. In fact, today's live viral vaccines, including the oral polio vaccine required by law be given to our children, are still littered with simian (monkey) virus contaminants since they are developed in monkey kidney cells, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration turns a blind eye to as many as 100 live monkey virus contaminants per vaccine dose, and is barred from telling health professionals and even health scientists this truth because of pharmaceutical industry dictated proprietary laws and non-disclosure agreements.” -Dr. Len Horowitz in a speech before the Citizens Against Legal Loopholes Rally, The Capitol Mall, 1996

The Meat Myth

The idea that humans must consume animal flesh and excretions as part of a balanced diet is a monstrous myth long symbolized and propagated by our unhealthy Illuminati food pyramid:


The entire top three levels of the pyramid are not by any means necessary or conducive to good health. There is not a single vitamin, mineral, nutrient, phyto-nutrient, amino-acid, fatty-acid, protein-chain, omega, or any other such elusive vital ingredient to health, not a single thing found in meat or dairy products that cannot be found, in greater abundance and more optimally, in the plant kingdom. For instance there are more omegas in seaweed than in fish, over twice as much protein in spinach than steak, and four times more calcium in sesame seeds than in milk. An actual healthy food pyramid would look something like these:



Meat and dairy products are highly acidic, fattening, cholesterol-laden, artery-clogging, lymph-clotting, mucus-forming, constipating, difficult to digest, and full of worms, parasites, bacteria, metabolic waste, hormones, and chemicals. Eggs are actually unfertilized avian menstrual cycles, otherwise known as chicken periods. Milk is the puss and hormone-filled mammary excretions of a female cow and meant to nourish her young. None of these animal bits and pieces are beneficial or necessary for human consumption.









There is not a single chronic disease or deficiency exclusive to vegans. However, heart disease, cancer, tumors, cysts, MS, diabetes, and many other major health problems have all been cured by switching to a 100% vegan diet. Some of the strongest animals in nature like gorillas, elephants, moose, rhinos, hippos, and giraffes are all vegetarians. The idea that you need to eat another animal's flesh to be strong is a ridiculous superstition. Shaolin martial monks, arguably the toughest men on the planet, are all strict vegetarians.




Our bodies are demonstrably that of an herbivore/frugivore. Omnivores and carnivores have claws, fangs, no molars, no pores, short intestinal tracts, hydrochloric stomach acid, and acidic saliva essential for digesting meat. Humans, like herbivores, have no claws, no fangs, molars for grinding, 4 times longer intestinal tracts, 20 times weaker stomach acid, and alkaline saliva ptyalin to pre-digest grains. Humans simply are not natural omnivores and that is why eventually all meat-eaters suffer from chronic degenerative diseases.

"In using comparative anatomy to determine what man was "meant" to eat, we should look at the species most similar to man, namely the anthropoid apes - chimpanzees, gibbons, gorillas, and orangutans. Of all animals, man's digestive organs and teeth most closely resemble these apes. In captivity, some of these animals will eat meat if forced to rather than starve to death. But in the wild, all eat a vegetarian diet. Another strong clue that man is naturally a vegetarian is the fact that vegetarians in general are much healthier than omnivores. The American Dietetic Association has acknowledged that vegetarians are less at risk for a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease, some types of cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, and adult-onset diabetes ... Eating a healthy diet goes far beyond cutting back a bit on red meat. In a recent study of 6,500 Chinese, Dr. T. Collin Campbell of Cornell found that even though the Chinese overall eat only a fraction of the animal protein Americans do, those who ate the least animal protein nonetheless had lower risk of disease than the average Chinese. Dr. Campbell concludes, "We're basically a vegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant foods and minimizing our intake of animal foods." -Glen Kime, president, Vegetarian Society of Washington, D.C.



All omnivores and carnivores eat their meat raw, tearing through fur/skin, and lapping up the nutrient-rich blood with their tongues. A true omnivore like a bear will take a fish out of the water and swallow it whole, uncooked, scales, bones, fins, head and everything. When a lion kills an herbivore for food, it tears right into the stomach area to eat the raw stomach, liver, intestines, and other organs that are filled with blood and nutrients. They will NOT eat cooked meat. For most humans, the smell and taste of raw bloody meat is putrid, so in order to consume it they must first clean, cook, season and marinate the flesh in various vegetarian herbs and spices to make it palatable.

"The final point I would like to make on how we as humans were not meant to eat meat is this. All omnivorous and carnivorous animals eat their meat raw. When a lion kills an herbivore for food, it tears right into the stomach area to eat the organs that are filled with blood (nutrients). While eating the stomach, liver, intestine, etc., the lion laps the blood in the process of eating the dead animals flesh. Even bears that are omnivores eat salmon raw. However, eating raw or bloody meat disgust us as humans. Therefore, we must cook it and season it to buffer the taste of flesh. If a deer is burned in a forest fire, a carnivorous animal will NOT eat its flesh. Even circus lions have to be feed raw meat so that they will not starve to death. If humans were truly meant to eat meat, then we would eat all of our meat raw and bloody. The thought of eating such meat makes one’s stomach turn. This is my point on how we as humans are conditioned to believe that animal flesh is good for us and that we were meant to consume it for survival and health purposes. If we are true carnivores or omnivores, cooking our meat and seasoning it with salt, ketchup, or tabasco sauce would disguise and we as humans would refuse to eat our meat in this form." -Dr. Akilah El



Finally, plain moral decency and ethics should be reason enough to end this animal holocaust. Can you imagine if aliens came to Earth and treated humans the way we treat cows, pigs, and chickens? If aliens kept us locked together in tight cages, fattened us up, cut our noses and balls off, raped our women, chained down our children, then killed and ate us when we were the most tasty, would you see anything wrong with that? And for the anti-war meat-eaters out there: Need I point out the hypocrisy? If you kill innocent, defenseless animals every day just because you like the taste, then go around pretending you're "anti-war," you're only fooling yourself.

"As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields." ~Leo Tolstoy

"Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal" ~Ingrid Newkirk

"A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses" ~George Bernard Shaw

"A human can be healthy without killing animals for food. Therefore if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral" ~Leo Tolstoy

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages" ~Thomas Edison

The Fluoride Deception

Thanks to some poor science and an uneducated public, water supplies world wide are being contaminated with a dangerous chemical under the guise of helping your teeth. Dr Robert Carton, a scientist who spent 20 years working for the US EPA said on CBC Nov. 24th, 1992, "Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time.”

“Fluoride is a known toxin that causes cancer, severe bone fractures and retardation of children. Leading scientific institutions, major universities and Nobel laureates have exposed its danger, yet fluoride is being crammed into the water worldwide. The amount of solid scientific evidence that fluoride kills is overwhelming …A major university study conducted over decades compared rates of bone cancer in Northern Ireland, where water is fluoridated, and the South where water is not treated with fluoride. The rates of rare bone cancer were 45% higher in the North. The evidence that fluoride is a dangerous toxic waste that the New World Order is disposing of in our water supply is overwhelming.” -Alex Jones, “911 Descent into Tyranny”

In the 1950’s USAF Major George Jordan testified before Un-American Activity Committees of Congress that during his post as US-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to "using fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient." The first experiments ever performed using fluoridated drinking water were done in Communist Russia and Nazi Germany’s concentration camps.

“It was Mellon and ALCOA which introduced the policy of putting fluoride into drinking water to make money from a by-product of the aluminum industry which at the time they were struggling to dispose of. It has nothing to do with saving teeth. Fluoride was actually used as a rat poison for 40 years and it is an intellect suppressant.” -David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (385-6)

Fluoride is a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act of 1972. InBelgium, Germany, and Luxembourg water fluoridation was rejected by being rightly classified as “compulsive medication against the subject’s will,” a violation of fundamental human rights.

“Only 2% of Europefluoridates their water. In 1992 a study by the New Jersey Department of Health (Cohn PD, A Brief Report on the Association of Drinking Water Fluoridation and the Incidence of Osteosarcoma among young Males. New Jersey Dept of Health, Nov 8th, 1992. ) found a strong link between fluoridation and bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in young males. They reported that osteosarcoma rates werethree to seven times higher in fluoridated areas than non-fluoridated areas.Fluoridated water has been linked to decreased birth rates because it interferes with levels testosterone of males (Freni SC, Fluoride in Drinking Water & Decreased Birth Rates. Journal of Toxicology & Environmental Health No 42, pp109-121, 1994). Chinese studies show reduced IQ in children overexposed to fluoride through drinking water. Further effects include memory loss, headache, reduced concentration, depression and confusion (Zhao LB, Liang GH, Zhang DN, Wu XR, Effects of a High Fluoride Water Supply on Children’s Intellligence. Fluoride 29:4 pp 190-192, 1996. Li XS et al, Effect of Fluoride Exposure on Intelligence in Children. Paper to 20th Conference of International Society for Fluoride Research, Beijing, Sept, 1994).” -Alex Jones, “911 Descent into Tyranny”

“If fluoridation creates such a public health hazard and does not significantly reduce tooth decay, why was fluoride ever added to the water supply? How is it that many areas around the country are still adding fluoride to the water supply?Fluoride is an industrial waste product. The 1920's and 30's saw the astronomical growth of the aluminum and phosphate fertilizer industries. Their rapid growth however gave rise to unexpected pollution problems. The pollutant, fluoride. Fluoride pollution of air damaged wildlife, crops, and livestock. Initially, these industries bought up the surrounding fluoride devastated areas. But when fluoride began to take its toll in human health, lawsuits and action by health officials forced the companies to install pollution control devices to trap the fluoride waste products. Unfortunately, this just shifted the problem from airborne fluorides to water borne fluorides and solid fluoride waste products, which were left to pollute rivers, streams, and ground water. One means of profitably disposing of fluoride was to sell it as a rat poison and insecticide. However, since there weren't enough rats and insects around to poison, there still remained a problem of what to do with this excess fluoride. In addition, since fluoride is not biodegradable, excessive use of it as an insecticide and rodenticide would soon create a health hazard for humans.” -Alex Christopher, “Pandora’s Box – The Ultimate Unseen Hand Behind the New World Order” (419)

Fluoride is put into the water supply of many countries but is also found in toothpaste and other dental products, pesticides (sprayed onto food crops), pharmaceutical drugs, and processed foods. It is one of the main ingredients in PROZAC and Sarin Nerve Gas. For decades children in US schools have been given daily fluoride packets and told to swish it around their mouths for 3 minutes at the beginning of every school day. So under the guise of helping our children’s teeth, the Nazi-tested intellect suppressant is swished around every morning before the day’s indoctrination lessons. Then in the afternoon it’s caffeine and aspartame time with sodas. Coca-Cola is called such because it originally contained cocaine. It contains so much sugar/aspartame that they have to cut the taste with phosphoric acid so you won’t gag.In other words, they purposely load it with sugar/artificial sweetener for the drug effects, not for taste. Then they “balance it out” by adding a dangerous acid, large amounts of which cause health problems like ulcers and osteoporosis.

The chemicals in our water and soda are just the tip of an iceberg too large for this post. Suffice to say the majority of the “food” lining grocery store shelves is both starved of nutritional value and pumped full of dangerous drugs and chemicals.
