 Stop Winter Aches with
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin. Rather Vitamin D is a potent
hormone in the body. Vitamin D is well known for its role in helping the intes-
tines absorb calcium, however what isnt appreciated are its more important func-
tions. It influences over 3,000 genes in the body, far more than any other nutri-
ent. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining normal blood pressure, strengthening
our immune system and regulating normal growth and development of our cells.
Vitamin D also offers protection against muscle pain and weakness, autoimmune
diseases, heart disease as well as some forms of cancer. Researchers have also
pointed out that regardless of the type of cancer, the one thing sufferers
have in common is a deficiency of vitamin D

Food sources of Vitamin D are; tuna, mack-
erel, egg yolk and cheese. But the best
source of vitamin D is sunlight. During the
summer months, we expose our bodies to
more sunlight, and this allows the skin to
make sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. But
in the winter months, we cover-up against
the cold, and this prevents the skin from
making Vitamin D.
consider that exposing the body to sunlight
on a good summers day, will produce about
20,000 IU of Vitamin D.
Studies have shown that in order to main-
tain a normal Vitamin D blood level of
40 ng/ ml, we may need up to 8000 IU of
Vitamin D daily.

 Hidden Truth Behind
High Blood Pressure
M
any people see high blood pressure as a real disease caused by problems affecting the heart and arter-
ies. However the hidden truth is that high blood pressure is only a sign of a disease affecting any of the
organs in the body. Your blood pressure is a measure of the force of circulating blood on the arteries.
Since blood flows through all the organs in the body, many of them have a strong influence on blood
pressure.
The digestive organs add nutrients to blood while the excretory organs remove waste from blood, and
both have an influence on blood pressure. The hormonal organs regulate blood pressure using chemicals,
while the organs of the nervous system do the same job with the help of subtle electrical signals. When
our organs and systems become diseased or unbalanced, the resulting effect can be high blood pressure or
hypertension.
Blood pressure medications can only lower blood pressure readings and have no effect whatsoever on the cause of
high blood pressure which when left untreated, may progress into more serious health problems.

WHAT ARE THE COMMONEST CAUSES OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

The commonest cause of high blood pressure, one that

is detected in 70% of the diagnostic scans carried out
at MedB clinic, is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the
hardening and narrowing of arteries that can occur in any
artery in the body. Normal healthy arteries are flexible, and
this allows them to expand and contract in order to regu-
late blood pressure. This process fails with atherosclerosis,
causing high blood pressure.

Atherosclerosis is caused by inflammation, and many

scientific studies have identified harmful toxins and nutri-
ent deficiencies as the underlying cause of inflammation.
Unfortunately high blood cholesterol is still regarded as the cause of atherosclerosis. What we clearly understand is
that inflammation first occurs in the arteries, before cholesterol migrates to the site of injury in an attempt to repair
the damage.

Since the kidneys play a vital role in regulating blood pressure, their arteries are particularly sensitive to the effects
of atherosclerosis. The kidneys are responsible for filtering out waste materials that can cause high blood pressure.
The kidneys also produce a chemical Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) that regulates blood pressure by con-
stricting the arteries. When in excessive amounts, ACE can cause high blood pressure. Some prescription drugs used
to treat high blood pressure stops the body from making this chemical.

A simple and effective treatment for atherosclerosis is Omega-3 fatty acids. Clinical studies have shown
that the deficiency of Omega-3 in our diet today is a leading cause of inflammation which triggers atherosclerosis.
Taking between 3.5 5 grams of omega-3 supplements daily for about 6 months can halt or reverse the progress of
atherosclerosis. Good food sources of omega-3 include wild deep sea salmon and flax seeds.

The build-up of toxins or contaminants in the body is a common cause of high blood pressure. Toxins can accumu-
late in any organ in the body, and are recognised as the underlying cause of many chronic diseases including cancer.
Unfortunately toxic chemicals are the bane of modern day living and are found in virtually everything around us
from cosmetics, solvents, food additives, and clothing. High blood pressure can occur as a result of the build-up of
toxins in the heart and blood vessels. Eliminating toxins from the body may be the only treatment required to cure
high blood pressure.

 Hormonal imbalance is a fairly common cause of high
blood pressure in women. Problems with hormones will
affect the way the body handles stress, and uncontrolled
stress can cause high blood pressure.
What you must understand is that high blood pressure
is only a sign of an illness. It is not a disease. Proper
management of high blood pressure should aim to find
out the cause of high blood pressure.
UNDERSTANDING BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS
Blood pressure is recorded with a sphygmomanometer
which displays 2 readings of blood pressure. The top
reading is called the systolic blood pressure and is the
blood pressure when the heart contracts and pumps
blood around the body. This blood pressure varies
through the day, and rises with increased physical
activity. The diastolic reading, the bottom reading, is
the blood pressure when the heart is at rest in between
contractions. This is a better gauge of blood pressure and
usually remains steady all through the day.
High blood pressure or hypertension is normally diag-
nosed when blood pressure stays consistently above
140/90 mmHg. Nevertheless, a well-known fact is that
blood pressure tends to increase with age. Until the
1980s, high blood pressure was diagnosed only when
readings climbed above 180/110 mmHg.
High blood pressure is rarely associated with symptoms.
In some people, headache may be the only symptom.
Other symptoms include dizziness, chest pain and
nausea.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Over 90% of high blood pressure is caused by an identi-
fiable cause most likely related to build-up of toxins or
deficiency of essential nutrients. Toxins, especially the
kind known as free radicals, are particularly harmful to
MedB-Vol3 - 99&Complete.indd 5
the heart, and arteries, and cause high blood pressure
and heart disease. Free radicals contaminate the body
through everyday chemicals found in foods, drinks,
cosmetics etc. Free radicals are also produced inside
the body, when energy is generated. To protect itself,
the body employs chemicals known as anti-oxidants
to mop up these free radicals before they cause injury
to cells. Antioxidants occurring naturally in the body
include: Vitamins C and E, Coenzyme Q10 and Seleni-
um. Some foods also contain high levels of antioxidants
and include: dark chocolate, black and blue berries and
artichoke. Green tea is also a rich source of many types
of antioxidants.
As crucial as it is to eat foods rich in antioxidants, it is
even more crucial to avoid the sources of toxins. Many
household products such as cleaning products, deter-
gents and cosmetics, contain toxic chemicals that have
been linked to cancer. The aim is to replace these prod-
ucts with natural products whenever you can. For exam-
ple, apple cider vinegar is a cheaper and better cleaning
solution than many commercial brands.
Deficiency of Omega-3 is recognised as a leading cause
of inflammation in the body. Omega-3 has powerful
anti-inflammatory properties, and counteracts inflam-
mation caused by Omega-6. Although omega-6 plays a
useful role in the body, in excessive amounts it causes
inflammation.
Sunflower oil, safflower oil, canola oil and other vegeta-
ble oils contain high amounts of omega-6 and are not
suitable for cooking. Favourable cooking oils include
coconut oil, sesame oil, olive oil and palm oil.
Drinking adequate amount of water helps maintain
normal blood pressure. Water is required to flush out
toxins that trigger inflammation and cause high blood
pressure. Coffee causes dehydration, and this may lead
to high blood pressure in some people. Although people
with high blood pressure are advised to avoid salt, the
reality is that only a few people have a sensitivity
www.medb.es 5
18.02.2015 07:49:48
 to salt. Moreover, studies have shown that avoiding salt
can cause serious health problems.
Exercising improves the performance of the heart which
improves blood flow through arteries and prevents high
blood pressure. Exercises also increases the production
of brain chemicals such as serotonin the feel good
hormone. Serotonin reduces stress levels and stress is a
major contributor to high blood pressure.
MAKING SENSE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DRUGS
There are hundreds of different branded drugs used
to manage high blood pressure, however when these
drugs are properly classified based on their method of
action that number falls to less than a dozen. The most
commonly prescribed classes of anti-hypertensive drugs
include: diuretics, beta receptor antagonists, calcium
channel blockers and ACE inhibitors.
Diuretics reduce blood pressure by reducing the volume
of water in the body through urination. The idea is that
reducing the volume of blood will in turn reduce blood
pressure. Sadly this does not work most of the time.
Examples of diuretics include: furosemide, hydrochlo-
rothiazide, indapamide and amiloride. Diuretics cause
massive loss of nutrients from the body which can cause
irregular heartbeats, heart attacks and even stroke.
Beta receptor antagonists reduce blood pressure
by blocking the signals that stimulate heart-beat. The
assumption is that when the heart beats slower, blood
pressure is reduced. Examples include: sotalol, atenolol,
and propanol. These drugs cause serious health problems
including heart failure, reduced heart rate, dizziness,
6 www.medb.es
MedB-Vol3 - 99&Complete.indd 6
depression, poor memory, erectile dysfunction.
ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitors
are drugs that stop the kidney from making the enzyme
ACE, a powerful constrictor of blood vessels. Common
examples include: Lisinopril, Enalapril and Captopril.
These medications cause persistent cough, kidney failure
and a life threatening swelling of the mouth and throat.
Calcium channel blockers stop the heart from using
calcium and this reduces the contraction of the heart.
Although these have less side effects than the others,
studies have shown that high doses increases the risk of
dying from a heart disease. Examples include amlodipine
and verapamil.
HOW TO REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS OF
MEDICATIONS
Make sure you take the minimal dose required
to lower your blood pressure
Never take more than 2 different classes of
blood pressure lowering medications as this
exponentially increases your risk of side effects
If you take diuretics, make sure you also take a
good multivitamin supplement.
Take measures to protect yourself against side
effects. Coconut oil protects the brain against
memory loss. Taking supplements and De-
toxifying the body on a regular basis will also
protect the body against most side effects.
Be vigilant for side effects and report them to
your doctor as early as possible. Some people
are more sensitive to the effects of medications
than others.

 What are Antioxidants?

A
ntioxidants are nutrients that protect the body against toxic chemicals known as free radicals
that attack body fats, proteins, cell membranes and genetic materials.
Free radical damage has been linked to a number of health problems including: coronary heart
disease and stroke, cataracts, macular degeneration, premature ageing of the skin, arthritis,
Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, impaired immunity, and cancer.

Toxic Free radicals are continuously produced in the body as a result of normal and abnormal chemical
processes occurring in the body. Major sources of free radicals include cigarette smoke, excessive alcohol,
environmental pollutants, X-rays, UV light and medications.

Antioxidants neutralizes free radicals before they cause damage to cells. Several essential vitamins and
minerals act as natural antioxidants in the body and include - vitamins A, C, E and selenium.

Many antioxidants occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and nuts such as: carotenoids, isoflavones, tannins,
lignans and flavonoids. These powerful antioxidants have a beneficial effect on cholesterol balance, blood
pressure, blood sugar control and overall circulatory health. Polyphenols, a type of antioxidant found in
red wine, blueberries and green tea, increases the levels of Nitric Oxide, a chemical released in blood ves-
sels to reduce blood pressure.

People that eat the highest amount of fruit and veg-

etables are known to have the lowest blood pressure
and lowest risk of developing diabetes, coronary
heart disease and stroke.

The antioxidant potential of foods are assessed by

measuring their ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity) score. Researchers have estimated that
the average person on a western diet receives or
obtains about 5,700 ORAC units every day.

However you need at least 7000 ORAC units for

health, and for optimal health, around 20,000
ORAC units every day.

 How The Immune
System Fights
Cancer
T he general understanding of the immune system
is that it protects the body against infections such
as colds and flu. Many people are therefore surprised to
learn that one of the key roles of the immune system is
to protect the body against cancer.
Every day, our bodies produce about 10,000 cancer cells,
luckily these cells are normally destroyed before they
gain a foothold. Every cell in the body is programmed
to commit suicide at the end of its life. This process is
called apoptosis. Cancer cells however are abnormal cells
that fail to respond to this self-destruct program, and
they continue to grow and spread in an uncontrollable
manner.
The job of the immune system is to seek and destroy
these aberrant cells. The reality is that cancer is a
disease of the immune system. For self protection,
the body manufactures special cells known as white
blood cells. These cells roam through our blood vessels
and tissues searching for abnormal cells and foreign
entities to destroy. The white cells that target cancer cells
are called Natural Killer cells. The body also attacks
cancer cells by producing proteins called immunoglob-
ulins. Some immunoglobulins protect the body against
allergies. Several studies have pointed out that people
suffering from cancer usually have low levels of immuno-
globulins.
Maintaining a healthy immune system in the world
we live in today is a huge challenge. Every day we are
bombarded by thousands of foreign chemicals from
processed foods, medications, cosmetics, plastics, pesti-
cides, etc and the job of the immune system is to process
and document every chemical that finds its way into
the body. This puts enormous pressure on the immune
system.
The good news is that you can support your immune
system. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining
a healthy immune system. Low levels of vitamin D are
associated with many types of cancer. Another powerful
natural substance for enhancing the immune system is
colostrum the special milk produced by cows in the first
6 hours after birth. Colostrum is rich in immunoglob-
ulins and other cancer fighting compounds. Improving
your immune system is a sure way to protect your body
against cancer.

5 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Eat as much raw fruits and vegetables as you can.
Raw fruits and veggies contain extremely high
levels of a variety of antioxidants that protect the
immune system from damage caused by toxins.
The best foods for the immune system include:
brightly coloured vegetables, red-blue berries and
fruits, garlic, ginger, dark chocolate, green tea,
mushrooms and fish.
Drink plenty of water: Water is required to
flush out from the body toxins that weaken the
immune system. Water is also a component of
the lymph system a part of the immune system
responsible for filtering foreign substances from
the body. Water also keeps the mouth and eyes
moist and free from deadly microbes
Get enough sleep: Healing only occurs during
sleep, and according to clinical studies, most
healing occurs between the hours of 10 pm and 2
am. An established fact is that people who skimp
on sleep have a lowered immune system and are
more prone to colds and flu.
Exercise when you can: Most people are dis-
couraged from exercising because they conjure up
images of torturous looking exercise machines.
But studies show that brisk walking for half an
hour is all the exercise we need. Exercising im-
proves levels of white blood cells, which in turn
improves the immune system.
Have a good Laugh: Laughter is the best med-
icine. Research has shown that humour can
benefit people suffering from virtually any chron-
ic disease. Another study found that laughter
increases the levels of Natural killer cells that are
responsible for destroying cancer.

your health today, but I have to tell you that you
look absolutely fantastic. Please tell me, how old are
you?
Kaye: I'll be 79 in May
Claire: My goodness! You look amazing whats your
secret?
Kaye: I think it's eating right. I choose what I eat. I
don't like beef or pork, but I eat a lot of fish, chick-
en, turkey and vegetables. I have a bowl of salad
every day. I rarely go out to restaurants. I avoid
prescription drugs because of the side effects.
Claire: So you don't take prescription drugs. Do you
take supplements?
Kaye: Oh yes I take Vitamin C, Omega-3, Multivita-
min and other supplements Dr Machi gives me.
Claire: When did you first come to see Dr Machi?
Kaye: I think it was about 3 years ago. I had high
blood pressure and I was having a lot of side effects
with my medications, burning stomach, joint pains
and all sorts, and I didn't want to take my medi-
cations. So I saw Dr Mannu, and had the scan and
since then he has helped me. I used to walk with
a stick, and he gave me MSM powder and other
things, and now I don't walk with a stick. Last year
I had lumps in my head and I was having a lot of
headaches as well, and Dr Machi found that I had a
lot of toxins and gave me Pectasol powder and the
headaches and lumps disappeared.

Claire: How was your experience with the scan?
Kaye: Yes it was quite good. I recommended him to
my friends. Since I've been seeing Dr Mannu, I have
more energy to do things.
Claire: That's interesting, how do you spend your
time?
Kaye: Yes I swim when I can for 45 minutes. Swim-
ming helps my joints. My aim is to get better. I have
friends from the church, and they help me mentally
and physically. I go for bible studies twice a week
and I have gained a lot of confidence from studying
the bible. I also teach art to my friends and I help
people when they need help. I think when you are
happy in your mind, your health is better. I think
being around happy people helps.
Claire: Do you go out with friends?
Kaye: Oh yes, we have a lot of activities in the
church, I drive my friends during the day, and they
drive at night. We have a group of about 14 of us,
and we all get together and go shopping and go to
hotels for coffee every Wednesday morning. Its
easy, we take things in turns. Socialising is really
important it keeps the mind active, otherwise you
feel bored. When we go to the hotels we see other
groups and they all come and talk to us.
Claire: You sound like you have an active life. Have
you always had an active life?
Kaye: I worked for many years in different hospitals
in London. I met my late husband in England. He
was English. I used to work 9 hours a day. I had a
busy life. I was working all the time, as a nursing
sister, as a theatre assistant, I learned everything
that I could. Having a busy life is very good. I never
sleep during the day I still get up by 7.00 am every
day. Do you know, I still don't sleep during the day.
Claire: That's because you are so active. I wish to be
like you when I get to your age.
Kaye: Do you know, 2 people said the same thing to

 Know Your Cooking Oils
Good cooking oils and fat are described as ' saturated'. This means they have a tightly built
structure that makes them resistant to high heat. Bad cooking oils and fats are described
as unsaturated, meaning that they have a loose and weak structure that makes them very
unstable and toxic when heated.

 7 Common
mistakes that
age you

E
ating inflammatory foods: Inflammation is
recognised as the root cause of ageing, and
some foods promote serious inflammation in
the body. Sugar reacts with collagen and other pro-
teins in the skin to produce toxic substances that
speed-up the formation of wrinkles and age spots.

Wheat is a hidden source of sugar to the body. 2
slices of brown bread increases blood sugar
levels more than 6 teaspoons of pure white
sugar. Vegetable oils such as sunflower oil contain
very high levels of inflammation causing omega-6.
Processed foods contain additives that also trigger

un damage: The sun is the best source of

N
ot Sleeping Properly: Poor sleepers show
more signs of skin ageing, and recover
much slower from skin damage. Studies
show that lack of sleep is associated with paler skin,
more wrinkles, and more droopy corners of the
mouth. Other studies have shown that those who
do not get enough sleep are prone to brain diseases.
tan lotions contain harmful petrochemical
compounds that cause damage to the skin.
Non-toxic suntan lotions contain minerals rather
than toxic chemicals. Most skin creams also contain
an array of toxic chemicals, the best known being
parabens. To reduce exposure, use more natural
products, and read the label to find out the con-

A
tents.
voiding Fat: Women are generally advised

to avoid fat, and while this is true for some
types of fat, the body requires certain es-
sential fats in order to maintain optimal health.
Saturated fat is an essential part of skin cells, and
keeps them supple and full. Fat is also necessary to
maintain the structure and functions of the heart,
brain and nervous system. Low levels of Omega-3
fats are associated with cellular inflammation and
accelerated ageing.
S
moking: Smoking accelerates skin ageing
especially by destroying Vitamin C in the
body. Vitamin C is needed to produce colla-
gen. If you must smoke, make sure you take a daily
Vitamin C supplement, and consider detoxing your
body at least twice a year.

N
ot drinking enough water: When the skin
is dehydrated, it looks wrinkled in ap-
pearance. Many people do not drink the
minimum of 1.5 litres of water required daily, and
are unaware that they are chronically dehydrated.
Water is needed to dissolve and flush out toxins
that encourage inflammation in the body.

 Colloidal Silver: The Universal
Antibiotic
S
ilver has been used for thousands of
years as an antibiotic. Ancient cultures
used silver pots to store water, with
the knowledge that it will protect them
against diseases. Silver dressings and products
are currently used in specialist hospitals to
speed-up the healing of wounds. The interna-
tional Space station and the Russian Space sta-
tion use colloidal silver to purify water. Most
recently, silver has been recommended for use
in surgical instruments and silver coated cath-
eters, to prevent MRSA infections. .
Colloidal Silver was recognised as a powerful
antibiotic as soon as it was first discovered by
Dr Silver in 1906, but it fell out of favour dec-
ades later, when antibiotics became available.
And today, with the rise of antibiotic resistant
microbes, colloidal silver is making a come-
back as the preferred antibiotic of choice for a
variety of infectious diseases.
Several scientific studies have demonstrated
that colloidal silver is a powerful antibiotic.

In the 1980s, studies carried out at the

of medicine showed that colloidal silver
was highly effective against bacteria,
viruses, and fungal microbes, including
those that had become resistant to anti-
biotics. Recently studies at the University
of Texas suggested that colloidal silver
may be effective against HIV-1 virus.
Colloidal silver has absolutely no side effects.
The particles of silver in colloidal silver are
extremely tiny, making it impossible for any
form of toxicity to occur in the body. The
cosmetic side effect of argyria (greying of the
skin) is only seen when people consume silver

of
CT scans

D
o you never feel satisfied with a hospital vis-
it until you are sent for a CT scan? If so, you
should know that CT-scans and even X-rays
have been strongly linked to many types of
cancer. The danger of X-rays are well known but not so
much the danger from CT scans, even though they are dead-
lier. CT scans consists of multiple X-ray machines that take
many pictures of the body from different angles in order to
capture a 3D image. For this reason, a single CT scan can
expose the body to the same amount of radiation as around
500 X-rays.

The radiation from X-rays cause severe injury to the body by damaging DNA- the blue print
of life. DNA damage is the most serious of injuries because it affects the ability of the body
to produce the correct sequence of information needed to maintain health.
What is also unrecognised is that the effects of radiation is cumulative. This means that
with every CT scan or X-ray that you have, your total exposure adds up. Even more wor-
risome is the whole body CT scan commonly advertised as a health check, which experts
estimate to be the equivalent of 900 X-rays.
Several studies have linked the indiscriminate use of CT scans to the sky rocketing cases
of cancer seen in society today. It is important to realise that the information revealed by
CT scans are very limited. CT scans are only useful for showing masses in the body such as
tumours or lumps. They are limited for revealing the overall state of health of an individual
and for diagnosing diseases.
So what options do you have? One of the most advanced and safest diagnostic scans today
is performed with a technology called Sensitiv Imago. Sensitiv Imago performs extensive
and detailed analysis of the body by reading frequencies emanating from the cells, tissues
and organs of the body. This information is converted to digital codes and displayed on a
computer screen.
Unlike other diagnostic scans that can only reveal the problems you have at the moment,
Sensitiv imago uses complex mathematical calculations to estimate your state of health in
the future, making it possible for you to prevent disease long before it happens.

 Benefits of
Drinking
Water

The most important step you can take to improve your health is to form the habit of drinking
enough water through the day. You should aim to drink at least 1.5 litres of water everyday. In the
summer months however we lose a lot of fluids and need to drink up to 3 litres daily.
When you consider that 70% of the human body is made of water, it puts into perspective the im-
portance of water. Water makes it possible for nutrients to be distributed and waste removed from
the billions of cells in the body.
Water is necessary for filtering out toxic substances that we become exposed to from our foods,
drinks, medications, cosmetics etc. and failing to drink enough water will cause a build-up of these
contaminants in the body. A number of health problems such as arthritis, kidney diseases and
high blood pressure can be traced to not drinking enough water. Many people have lost their thirst
for water and are unaware that they are chronically dehydrated.
Water is necessary for keeping the joints supple and preventing joint diseases. The synovial mem-
brane produces a fluid to lubricate and cushion our joints. This fluid is mostly composed of water,
and is affected by dehydration. Organs that contain a lot of fluid such as the brain, eyes and joints,
are particularly sensitive to the effects of dehydration. Unsurprisingly, common symptoms of de-
hydration include: dry eyes, headaches and joint pains.
Drinking enough water everyday will keep you healthy, and may even help reverse some health
problems. Juices and beverages are no substitute for water. You should also drink more water if
you take prescription drugs.

Memory Recall By Staring at Nothing

Ask a senior citizen to remember the name of a friend from the good old days and
chances are that they would either stare at the floor or straight into space as if the
name would magically appear from somewhere. Well it may surprise you to know that
it works. You see the human face takes up a significant percentage of our concentra-
tion and by simply staring at nothing you devote more brain power to recalling faces.

 Vegetarian Omega-3:
the Preferred Choice for men
Omega-3 belongs to the special class of nutri-
ents called Essential nutrients. Such nutrients
are not produced by the body, and only get
to us though our diet. The brain and heart
rely heavily on omega-3 in order to function
smoothly. But Omega-3s most important role
in the body is as a powerful anti-inflammatory
agent.
Inflammation is now recognised as the hid-
den trigger for many chronic diseases such as
Dementia, Arthritis, Cataracts, Alzheimers
disease and Liver diseases. Inflammation how-
ever, is a vital process in the body, and plays
a key role in wound healing. Omega-3 is the
recommended therapy of choice for atheroscle-
rosis or hardening of the arteries.
chronic inflammatory diseases.
Omega-6 occurs in high amounts in processed
vegetable oils like corn, canola, sunflower and
safflower oils. Omega-3 is not so common-
ly found in foods. Good sources of Omega-3
include: deep sea oily fish such as salmon and
mackerel, flax seeds, fish oil, hemp oil, and
walnuts. Farmed Salmon however, contains
very little Omega-3.
Fish oil goes rancid and becomes toxic when
exposed to air and recent studies have found
that fish oil may be contributing to prostate
diseases. For this reason men are now advised
to consider a vegetarian source of Omega-3.

 Relieve Joint and Muscle
Aches and Pain with MSM
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is the most vital nutrient required by
the body to build and maintain strong and healthy joints and bones. MSM
occurs naturally in the body, and is used to make collagen an important
component of our bones, joints, skin and hair. More so than calcium, your
body needs MSM to build; bones, joints, skin and hair. For this reason,
MSM has been called the beauty mineral
MSM is a powerful painkiller and anti-inflammatory agent, and studies
have shown that MSM is more effective than prescription medications for

Kitchen remedy
for acid reflux
Stomach acid suppressants such as omeprazole are
very commonly used in hospitals to treat acid re-
flux. However a safer and much cheaper treatment
can be achieved with apple cider vinegar. Apple
cider vinegar has been used for centuries to treat
acid reflux.

As improbably as it may seem, acid reflux can be caused by either too much acid in the stomach, or too
little acid in the stomach. In fact most cases are due to too little acid. The change in acidity of the stomach
causes a dysfunction of the valves that prevent acid from escaping from the stomach into the oesophagus.

Apple cider vinegar adds to the acidity of the stomach when there is too little acid, and buffers the stom-
ach acid levels when there is too much acid. The recommendation is to take 2 table spoons of apple cider
vinegar diluted in a small quantity of water every morning, or immediately after experiencing heart burn.
Note that foods that contain wheat trigger acid reflux.

 Over the counter (OTC) medications can cause
Alzheimers disease and Dementia

A
new study has shown very clearly that over-
the-counter medicines such as those used
for treating asthma, allergies and insomnia,
increase the risk of Alzheimers disease and
other forms of dementia.

The study also found that the risk may not be revers-
ible, even after several years off these medications.
Some of the OTC drugs studied include those used to
treat: allergies, motion sickness, irritable bowel syn-
drome, colds, depression, cough and muscle pain.

The study showed that the risks are increased when

higher doses are taken, or when these drugs are pre-
scribed for a long time. Also, when these drugs are
taken in combination, the danger increases exponen-
tially.

Tips for Buying Prescription Drugs

One of the benefits of living in Spain is that you can buy many kinds of prescription drugs over the coun-
ter. The downside is that it encourages self-mediation which can be dangerous. Here are some points to
consider before buying prescription drugs.

Saving Money: Drugs normally have 2 names the generic name and the brand name. The generic name
is the approved name, while the brand name is the fanciful name of the drug, often chosen to be memo-
rable for advertising. The generic name is usually written in small letters while the brand name is written
out more clearly. Generic name drugs are usually much cheaper than brand name drugs even though they
are the same. For example paracetamol is a generic name, while Panadol or Calpol are brand names with
exactly the same ingredient as paracetamol.

Pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs: Many people take pain killers on a regular basis, however
painkillers and anti-inflammatories are associated with serious side-effects. Taking these drugs for a long
time can cause liver and kidney damage. On the short term however, pain killers and anti-inflammatories
cause inflammation of the stomach (gastritis) and to avoid such problems, doctors commonly prescribe an
acid suppressant such as omeprazole. Pain killers only provide short term relief. The proper way to manage
pain is to identify and treat the root cause of the pain.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics are useful for getting rid of harmful microbes from the body, however antibiotics
are blind and are unable to differentiate harmful microbes from beneficial ones. Beneficial microbes are
necessary to digest food properly as well as boost the immune system. Unsurprisingly, antibiotics are as-
sociated with diseases of the gut and the immune system. If you must take antibiotics, make sure you also
take probiotics.

 Remove Toxins from Your Body with
Pectasol

I
magine spending your life in a house that is never cleaned. The human body without
proper detoxification (or clean-up), is exactly the same as that house. Every day we
are exposed to dozens of toxic compounds that cause chronic diseases. From pre-
scription drugs to household cleaning products, cosmetics, plastics and even drink-
ing water, we are surrounded by potential sources of deadly toxins that contaminates the
body.

Researchers have calculated that the average person has inside them over 100 deadly
toxins such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium, mycotoxins (from moulds), DDT, in-
secticides, BPA (from plastics) and many others. These toxins accumulate in all our organ,
and over time cause chronic health problems such as memory loss, high blood pressure,
arthritis, diabetes, dementia, sexual dysfunction and premature ageing.

Pectasol is the only orally taken natural detox that has been rigorously tested and shown
to remove many different kinds of toxic chemicals from the body.

Research has also shown that Pectasol binds to a cancer causing chemical in the body
called Galectin-3

Pectasol helps people suffering from Tiredness, Heart and artery disease, memory loss
and dementia, rheumatoid arthritis as well as asthma.

Dose: 2 level teaspoon in a

glass of water in the morning,
and then drink 1.5L of water
all through the day. For 22
days
