You can download a podcast of a recent interview with Dr. Gabriel Cousens, author of “There is a Cure for Diabetes“, conducted by Mike Adams, The Health Ranger.  In about 40 minutes, he details how he took 11 people through a raw food regimen and made startling improvements in their health and their lives.  This truly is a “must listen” interview for anyone suffering from diabetes, obesity or blood sugar disorders.  Dr. Cousens is founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona.

At the Tree of Life, they claim to see total reversal of type-2 diabetes in 3 weeks!

He claims a 90% – 95% cure rate for type-2 diabetes using the process described by Dr. Cousens in this interview.  This is absolutely amazing, given conventional medicine (drugs and surgery) claims less than a 1% cure rate, and then only with the use of expensive and damaging drugs like metformin and insulin.  I love it when he says, “When you look in the wrong place, you find the wrong answers.”  That’s the problem with the approach taken by ‘mainstream’ medical researchers.  By contrast, his approach reduces insulin resistance while providing support for the pancreas.  He also explains the role of heavy metals and how this approach helps eliminate them from the diet.  And he touches on the role of other lifestyle choices including a lack of sleep.

Dr. Cousens also talks about the ‘20-year rule’ which says that 20 years after the introduction of refined sugar and refined starches like white flour in the diet, you will see the onset of diabetes.  He also gives evidence that goes against the conventional wisdom that protein has a  low glycemic index.  Only raw, plant-based protein can provide the low-glycemic index healing that in necessary to reverse a chronic condition like type2 diabetes.

With diabetes, blood sugar issues and related obesity becoming epidemic in this country, please share this with those you care about.  There is a realistic alternative that is very simple, inexpensive and therefore within the reach of virtually everyone.

If you’re like most of us, you have only so much time and have to cut corners somewhere.  If one of those areas is taking the time to eat right, you need to know more about this.  Superfoods come from nature, not manufactured from inorganic chemicals or bio-engineered using gene splicing or other nanotechnologies.

They are called ’super’ because they are super-dense with nutrition.  That means you get a lot of bang for your buck.  Relatively low in calories for what you’re eating and you don’t have to eat a lot of bulk.  As an example, I could do no better than show you this, a brief introduction to a juice that we drink every day.  It has a lot more of the good things than some other juices I could name but won’t (like one that start with the letter ‘M’ that you used to hear a lot about). Amazing stuff – gives you lasting energy, helps eyesight, has a low glycemic index (safe for diabetics) and won’t give you a ’sugar rush’, loaded with minerals, especially electrolytes like potassium, phosphorus and calcium.

When you have a yeast infection, poisonous substances known as mycotoxins are secreted every second by the candida and other fungi causing the infection.  These mycotoxins can cause some or all of these symptoms when they hit your bloodstream:

• nausea
• headaches
• burning sensations
• numbness
• tingling
• menstrual problems
• itching or chronic rashes
• hair loss (alopecia)
• vaginal itching
• painful, swollen joints
• chronic constipation or diarrhea
• vision problems, ear pain, ear infections
• oral thrush (white coating in the mouth or on tongue)

In the final part of the three-part posting, we’ll talk about symptoms that suggest the onset of diseases, many of them major.  If you’re ready to fix your yeast infection NOW, get this FREE Candida Fix report that tells you how to cure the problem naturally and quickly.

Mycotoxins are secreted every second by candida and other fungi.  These toxins protect the fungi against bacteria, viruses, protozoa, etc.  Unfortunately for you, when they hit your bloodstream they cause symptoms.  In your nervous system alone, you can experience:

• confusion
• memory loss
• spaciness
• irritability
• depression
• mood swings
• fatigue

Next we’ll talk about symptoms other than those produced in your nervous system.  If you’re ready to fix your yeast infection NOW, get this FREE Candida Fix report that tells you how to naturally cure the problem fast.

If you feel powerless against the forces of nature, I have some answers for you.  In Scottsdale, Arizona last weekend at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch, I heard about the latest tools available to address anti-aging, immune science, superfoods and… a bonus (read on).  Orenda International held their semi-annual Leadership School which I’ve come to depend on as my source of breaking news on these issues.  It was an awesome event (and I don’t just throw that word around like some folks do)! 

We got the latest on life expectancy from Dr. Shanhong Lu, MD, PhD, board-certified in anti-aging medicine.  She explained how the ‘perfect storm’ is forming with regard to health care in this country: 

• overall health – declining
• overall age – increasing
• health care costs – soaring. 

Fortunately there are answers.  But they seem like secrets because so few people know about them.  When I found out about some of Orenda’s cutting-edge science, I wanted it for my family and to share them with my clients.  And I’m still one of very few Orenda representatives in Los Angeles County, California, the most populous county in the nation!  So I hope this web posting, in some small way, helps spread the word.  (I would appreciate it if you would, too.)  I can’t say a lot more in print here beyond what is on the Orenda website.  But I’d be glad for you to call me 310-809-6807 (that’s Pacific time) .  I am willing to speak to individuals or groups about the emerging science of anti-aging and share with you the incredible results my clients and I are seeing.  And I haven’t even touched on the solutions they have for low immunity as well as auto-immunity.  Or the premier superfood, Oki, so loaded with anti-oxidants you only need a few ounces a day!

Bonus:  OK, if you’re still reading, you will be interested to learn that Orenda can boost your health while helping give you a measure of financial freedom.  Finding it hard to meet expenses these days (who isn’t)?  Or maybe you’re just yearning to break free of your J-O-B.  Orenda has several ways to help you do that, faster and easier than you may think.  Call me for details. 310-809-6807

According to a study recently published in the Diabetes journal and presented at the Second International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health, sitting for long periods virtually shut down one of the body’s best fat-fighting tools, the enzyme lipase. 

What does this mean?  They found: raised levels of HDL (“bad”) cholesterol, metabolism slowed and more fat was retained in the body.  Bad news! 

Recommendation: Get up and move around!  Don’t just sit for extended periods.  It also means you can’t sit at your office job all day long, go by the gym afterwards and work it all off.  Or, if you do some good at the gym, think how much better off you would be if you’d move around during your workday too.

Continuing on my theme (from the last posting) of stress reduction, one of the major sources of stress is lack of sleep.  That can be caused by quantity or quality (i.e. you sleep but not very well).  So I could tell you to try to get more and better sleep – and you should – but instead I’m going to suggest a time-tested ‘quick fix’ – The Nap.  And I can do no better than to refer you to this terrific little piece from the Boston Globe. 

Over 75% of us are sleep-deprived.  Siestas, catnaps, whatever you want to call them, short naps are a wonderful tool for boosting

• productivity
• learning
• alertness
• creativity
• mood 

Believe it or not, they reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, excess weight gain.  Naps actually make you smarter, safer and healthier.  Even a 6-minute nap is said to improve your productivity substantially. 

Naps also help your poor overworked adrenals, those walnut-sized glands on top of your kidneys that pump out so much adrenaline and cortisol when you’re stressed.  Give ‘em a break – along with the rest of your mind and body!

So, why aren’t you napping?  Well, like anything intentional, you need to plan for it.  Yes, plan to nap.  That means not only carve out a time of day but also a place and, if you need them, sleep aids like a walkman with soft music, headphones, eyeshades, maybe even a pillow or your favorite blankey

It occurs to me that I haven’t written about one of my favorite tools for relieving stress, Holosync.  And, judging by the response of people I’ve turned on to it, they love it, too.  Why wouldn’t they? 

You get:

• a tool that allows you to quickly meditate deeper than a Zen monk in no time
• a support line to call for questions about the experience you’re having
• a one-year no-strings satisfaction guarantee

And it’s as easy as

1. pop in the CD
2. put on your headphones
3. close your eyes

Yes, that’s really all there is to it.  No, you don’t have to be able to concentrate or even ‘clear your mind’ as they say in traditional meditation.  And the results defy description!  You will literally

• cause your lower stress levels to plummet
• stimulate pleasurable brain chemicals (endorphins, etc.) – a legal ‘high’
• improve memory, creativity, awareness, intuition, concentration, awareness, intelligence.

Powerful stuff from just listening to this very special CD.  What’s not to like?!  Yes there are other ‘meditation’ and relaxation CDs out there.  Some are probably good.  But again and again, people who have used Holosync and then tried those others keep coming back to Holosync – because it’s the best.  Just look at that guaranteee.  No one else can touch it.

I use Holosync every day and have for over two years.  It steadily raises your stress threshold higher and higher till virtually nothing stresses you out.  Imagine your most stressful situation – sitting in traffic and you’re late for a meeting.  Or maybe you’re being screamed at by your boss or kids.  And you’re cool as a cucumber.  You’re in control.  Wouldn’t that be fabulous? 

Sound too good to be true?  I know.  I thought so too.  Come on, try the free demo disk and get a free special report.  See what I’m talking about.  You’re gonna love it!  I promise.

When we’re born, we are 90% water.  As adults, we’re only 70% water and by the time we die, that number has dropped to just 50%.   Long    slow    death    by dehydration.  No wonder many older folks look like they’re “dried out” – they literally are!  And the tragedy is it is avoidable!  Cheaply and easily!

No, it’s not simply a matter of drinking lots of water (although that’s an excellent idea).  There’s more to it than that.  I could write a book on the reasons – and many other have already.  But for starters, I recommend this excellent two-part article from Natural News: The Dangers of Dehydration (Part I) and The Dangers of Dehydration (Part II). 

Briefly, take good care of your kidneys and they’ll keep you young and healthy. 

• Ease up on your protein and sodium intake. 
• Eat lots more fresh food, especially salads (they alkalize you)
• Consider a serious kidney cleanse to flush accumulated toxins before they turn into stones.  Because you don’t want to pass one of those babies!

And an excellent tool: alkaline ionized water.  It’s a ’secret’ the Japanese have known for decades.  They make their own super-antioxidant, super-hydrating, super-alkalizing water every day.

This is not breaking news but many will find it surprising.  According to a study at the University of Auckland in New Zealand reported by the BBC, the conventional wisdom of supplementing with calcium has been found to increase the risk of heart attacks.  The group studied was postmenopausal women, a segment of the population that has long been relying upon the belief that they should take 1000mg or more a day to prevent osteoporosis, among other things.

While it’s not part of mainstream thinking, it is widely known that the primary cause of mineral loss is an imbalance of the body’s pH – being too acidic.  That’s why I’ve been telling clients for a long time: you need to alkalize, alkalize, alkalize.  While the chemistry is a bit complex to cover here, suffice to say that when you are losing minerals to excess acidity, you’re like a leaky bucket.  And to simply supplement is to throw up one’s hands and say, “oh well, nothing to be done about the leak; let’s just pour more water in”, whereas alkalizing the body is more akin to patching the holes in the bucket.  Much more elegant, less expensive and more effective in the long run.  That way you don’t have to figure out just which minerals you’re losing and in what proportion.  Just keep what you’ve got!

Eating more alkaline foods like fresh salads is a great solution.  One of the very best tools is alkaline ionized water which is why I’ve used this powerful tool for over a year since I discovered how effective it is.
