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.

Paul Nison Provides Proof

Breast augmentation risks comes from a trend to use recycled fat. Taking liposuctioned fat from the thighs or buttocks, and using it for breast augmentation. This procedure was condemned in the 1990’s for good reason. Now it is being looked at with a way to enlarge breast without using implants.

Vanity is Expensive

This procedure is more expensive than implants, and does not guarantee positive results. That is mainly because only a certain portion of the fat will survive, and then it will fluctuate depending on weight. If after the procedure the patient looses weight than the work is undone.

The real expense is in the dangers that have a way of showing up well after the procedure. The doctor’s skill is paramount in this technique. If he is not well versed in the procedure their can be cysts, masses, nodules, and scaring. The other problem is that too little injected fat survives the transplant.

Real Problem

The real problem is that not enough is known about this procedure. The techniques for harvesting, refining and placing fat is not really very advanced. The red flag for most people should be that the plastic surgery society reversed its former position. They did this by reviewing very limited research on fat grafting to the breast. Augmentation for purely vanity issues makes this reversal an issue of ethics. The dilemma is that this task force’s statement is for plastic surgeons to proceed with caution.  

Just because it is a more natural choice than implants does not make it natural. Neither is it a particularly inviting choice. Vanity can take precedence over prudence.

Fear not

This is considered a two for one procedure; trade your saddle bags for a cup size larger. This is a real trade that can actually look good at first glance. But it is not for everyone, the big drop in the thighs or butt size is temporary. Without self-regulation this approach shows the stark differences between medical intervention, and lifestyle change.

This procedure is a balancing act. More volume in the chest area is not worth the doubts that this procedure brings with it.

Considerations

A baseline mammogram for a woman considering breast augmentation (or reduction) is a must, said Dr. Emily F. Conant, a radiology professor and the chief of breast imaging at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.

Dr. Stephen F. Sener, a professor of surgery at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, wrote in an e-mail message: “I’ve seen enough injections of fat after mastectomies to tell you that fat necrosis is a real problem.” It can result in a “palpable mass” that needs to be biopsied to establish malignancy or infection, wrote Dr. Sener, the former president of the American Cancer Society.

Perceived Risks

Doctors have experimented with augmenting breasts with fat before, the Wall Street Journal reports, but that led to “hard lumps or calcifications” because the fat “died” once it was grafted. A decade ago, it was discovered that fat has stem cells in it that are similar to the stem cells in bone marrow? The new fat put into breast tissue is sent to a lab prior to insertion, so that the stem cells within can be fortified.

There are major, as yet-unexplored risks, the Journal notes. “Some doctors worry the fat, when reinjected in the breast, could calcify and interfere with mammographic cancer screening. Another concern is that fat injections could increase the risk of breast cancer, because certain anticancer drugs work in postmenopausal women by inhibiting the production of estrogen, a hormone in fat tissue.”

What most patients don’t realize is that they are going through two procedures. Each one presents a risk.  All these are issues to consider when vanity is the issue. Most of theses considerations are overlooked when patients are focused on the endgame, a so-called better appearance.

The real endgame is not going to be known for years to come.  Right now what are called long term studies, are really shorter than what is needed for real assurances. The number of women tracked would and should be considered too small for comfort.

Weighing In

At the October meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Khouri presented a long-term study that suggested liposuctioned fat was now a “viable alternative to breast implants.” It tracked 50 women, ages 17 to 63, for an average follow-up of 3.5 years.  (For weeks, participants wore a cumbersome bra-like tissue expander at night that was created by Dr. Khouri to create scaffolding for their fat.) The study, which Dr. Khouri plans to publish in a peer-reviewed journal, found that the procedure does not impede the reading of mammograms and that on average, 85 percent of transplanted fat survived to give patients natural-feeling larger breasts.

Dr. Coleman, who was part of the task force, said, “It’s easy to kill fat,” and worried that Johnny-come-latelies won’t be meticulous. “Suddenly everyone is claiming to have 10 years of experience.”

The Shocking Truth

Healthcare is a growing powder keg that is putting lives in danger. What most Americans are missing from the healthcare system is health. Standardized care is a disaster. Healthcare is going in the wrong direction. The implications are enormous. While life-saving medical breakthroughs are finding their way to market, mainstream medical care for all chronic problems is missing in action.

 What This means for you

What American’s are missing from their diets can make them a victim of the medical system. This phenomenon is becoming increasingly noticeable, as more American’s fall ill due to prescription medication, and over the counter drugs. 

These pharmaceutical solutions miss the point of medical intervention. They operate on treating the symptoms. They look at is what is lodging in your body, and then deal with it.

What they do is unleash the nuclear bomb on a natural warning system. Sometimes for the moment it is life-saving. However, it doesn’t manifest health, and it will have unseen side effects.

Contradictory Treatment

In the medical way of thinking you are fighting back pursuing a war. You know the saying he fought the good fight till the end. Rubbish, you are not at war with something that resides in you.

Combating poor health is another way of addressing infections, inflammation, and lack of energy, unhealthy cells, and insulin productions. You have a contract with your body you give it what it needs, it performs well. Enhancing health is the way to modify the effect of disease producing organism.

Treatments that hinder your natural resources, and ruin your immune system will ultimately magnify your health problems.

The Secret to Health

The main thing that Americans are short on is information. Everything coming your way is either on the air, in print, and off a prescription pad. Instead of using a lethal agent to combat a symptom, proceed with enhancing your health. Before something gets a foothold is best, however even after the fact there are natural aggressive protocols. These are agents which increase natural killer cells activity and are natural immune stimulants.

A stealth process is operating our medical field. There is a high price for dosing yourself with conventional chatter. Limited awareness is to blame for the health crisis facing America.  Compliance with the prescribed treatment can be painful and costly. Conventional treatment is both disappointing and life threatening. These are some of the side effects of chemo drugs; anemia, fatigue weakness, confusion, heart problems, and memory loss.

We are at a stage in medicine, where we must formulate a variety of better ways to restore health. On these pages we will show you what others have done to achieve superior health and recover from life threatening conditions.

Disclaimer

What we want to prove is that remarkable health isn’t a pill away. We suggest that you take charge of your health by getting the facts. Is good health compatible with some medical intervention? It depends on the role you play and the responsibility you take. However, without being informed there is no way to modify both the side effects of conventional treatment, and to know how effective treatment it is for your condition.

People have successfully used medical advances to their advantage. But many of these people did not rely on it once the initial surgery or treatment was completed. Well being is not going to be increased by any of those procedures. All of these counteract a natural healthy state of being.

To prevent the proliferation and spread of any disease state means increasing the actions of your immune system. When you do that you immediately address a whole host of problems from cardiovascular to insulin production. Your overall vitality is based on your personal practices.
