For years allopathic medicine said it’s in the genes, and nutrition had nothing to do with your condition. What a relief for most people they could keep doing what they always did. However, what was left out was if you keep doing what you always do you will keep getting the same results. Holistic healing modalities recognizes that the path to health in not in the pill bottles lining your medicine cabinet.

It has been found that the best strategy for a long life free of debilitating disease would be to restrict calories. The best way to do that is to cut down on glucose. This is what helps human cells live longer. This discovery was published in the FASEB Journal (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology). 

Changes

This is the reaction that I would expect to the news. Changes that get you moving in the right direction include weight control, and tweaks to your lifestyle. Understanding what getting healthier means, will help you makeover your health. This is holistic healing, and this is the future of medicine.

Believe it of Not

“Western science is on the cusp of developing a pharmaceutical fountain of youth” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. “This study confirms that we are on the path to persuading human cells to let us to live longer, and perhaps cancer-free, lives.”

Don’t Hold Your Breath

“Our hope is that the discovery that reduced calories extends the lifespan of normal human cells will lead to further discoveries of the causes for these effects in different cell types and facilitate the development of novel approaches to extend the lifespan of humans,” said Trygve Tollefsbol, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Center for Aging and Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “We would also hope for these studies to lead to improved prevention of cancer as well as many other age-related diseases through controlling calorie intake of specific cell types.”

The people that have been practicing this type of lifestyle have proved that this works without pharmacitical intervention. There is no need to wait for conclusive studies, the research studies are compelling, and the best proof is the success of the people that have benefited from this.

Calorie Poisoning

This is the malady that many people suffer from. When people hear calorie restriction they think starvation diet. Well most people are on a starvation diet. How could that be with all the abundance?

Nutrient starvation for lack of a better term means cells are starving and can’t function well. That is what happens when you consume calories from non-nutritious sources. The other problem is when the amount of food shoved in on a continuous basis is too large for the organs to handle you become toxic.

Once your cells are toxic they can’t perform their jobs very well. We are being calorie poisoned. Our systems never have a chance to rest between eating. Digestion takes a lot of energy, that can be used for repair work.

Where To Start

When your hear calorie restriction, think of it as the opposite of calorie poisoning. Restricting Glucose that is part of most packaged food is a good way to start. This sure beats waiting for drugs that will slow human aging and prevent cancer. The formula for doing that is on your dinner plate.

Starting this before another round of scientific studies is conducted would be prudent. After you start you will know the results in short order.

Alternative ways to health that are sensible have been known for centuries. In this decade we need researches to discover the obvious. How far we have come from common sense is due to the power of modern medicine.

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered the cancer glucose connection.  Restricting consumption of glucose, the most common dietary sugar, can extend the life of healthy human-lung cells and speed the death of precancerous human-lung cells, reducing cancer’s spread and growth rate.

The UAB team conducted its tests by growing both healthy human-lung cells and precancerous human-lung cells in laboratory flasks. The flasks were provided either normal levels of glucose or significantly reduced amounts of the sugar compound, and the cells then were allowed to grow for a period of weeks.

“In that time, we were able to track the cells’ ability to divide while also monitoring the number of surviving cells. The pattern that was revealed to us showed that restricted glucose levels led the healthy cells to grow longer than is typical and caused the precancerous cells to die off in large numbers,” Tollefsbol said. Dr. Tollefsbol’s research is primarily with cancer and aging epigenetics, the underlying mechanisms of cancer, aging and therapeutic approaches to cancer.

Hello Anyone There

Sugar depresses the immune system.

We have known this for decades. Glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical structures, when the sugar level goes up vitamin C has to compete. The more glucose the less vitamin C allowed to enter the cell. This slows down the immune systems. Sugar depletes vitamin, minerals, and enzymes.

The reason not to wait for research, they are light years behind holistic practitioners. For years these holistic researches have been saying that sugar is the food of malignant tumors. While the medical community said it doesn’t matter what you eat.

A Theory

A German biochemist, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the cause of cancer back in 1923 and he received the 1931 Nobel Prize for doing so. In his book, The Metabolism of Tumors, Dr. Warburg demonstrated that the primary cause of cancer was (is) the replacement of oxygen in the respiratory chemistry of normal cells by the fermentation of sugar. The growth of cancer cells is a fermentation process which can be initiated only in the relative absence of oxygen.

Up to now the medical profession disregarded this theory. It is the basis of many alternative treatments. This is a theory that completely disregarded by the medical profession. IV’s consists of glucose and is used quite often as a source of calories for those that suffer from this condition.

Medical Practice

Simply said doctors are not the best at understanding what health is. Our perverse system of medicine rewards this. Americans swallow more pills, undergo more scans, and summit to more procedures without any understanding of the risks when they submit to treatments.

The high costs of doctor visits, and tests is in what they miss; the cause of diseases. They look at family history to try to guess what you will likely come down with. What they really need is a list of the foods, drinks, and habits that were passed down through the generations. Finally, what is it that caused the problems. The cancer glucose connection is now being validated by scientific studies.

Carnage

Tollefsbol’s research team included Yuanyuan Li, Ph.D., M.D., a UAB biology research associate, and Liang Liu, Ph.D., a UAB assistant professor of medicine.

The group’s study titled “Glucose Restriction Can Extend Normal Cell Lifespan and Impair Precancerous Cell Growth Through Epigenetic Control of hTERT and p16 Expression” has been published in the online edition of The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, or FASEB Journal.

The research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research

There is a very good reason that the war on cancer hasn’t produced the results that everyone expected. There is no quick fix, or magic bullet. It is fiction that you let someone bombard you with every known chemical, and expect super health.

Between the food industry and pharmaceutical companies we have become anesthetized to the carnage that these industries are causing. The main attraction to this approach, responsibility is in someone else’s hands, and a promise of instant help.
