Reduce The Aging Process, Prevent Heart Disease, Cancer And Diabetes
You can slow down your aging process and help reduce heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. U.S. News & World Report offers some tips on how to do it:
- Free radicals are chemically unstable molecules that attack your cells and damage your DNA. You can limit your exposure to them by avoiding cigarettes, trans fats, charred meats, and other sources. Organic fruits and vegetables will also limit your exposure to pesticides and herbicides, which contain the harmful molecules.
- Inflammation is a major player in many diseases of aging, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. One way to avoid it is to follow a Mediterranean-style diet. Other great anti-inflammatory foods include turmeric, dark chocolate, and the anti-aging chemical resveratrol. An anti-inflammatory supplement SerraPhase from Seddona Labs is what I took to help reduce my high C-Reactive protein reading. Exercise is another great way to lower inflammation.
- Glycation is what happens when sugar mixes with proteins and fats to form molecules that promote aging. Advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, are thought to accelerate your aging process by churning out free radicals and promoting inflammation. One way to avoid ingesting AGEs is to turn down the heat when you cook. The browning effect of high-heat cooking causes these molecules to form. Limiting your intake of sugar-filled foods in general will also help.
- Stress initiates the release of a variety of hormones that make your pulse race and cause your blood pressure to rise. The hormone cortisol, released to lessen these effects, also creates problems when it remains chronically elevated. Try practicing relaxation techniques to help manage stress, and get enough sleep every night.

A Story Of A Typical Heart Attack
Statistical studies show you are most likely to have a a heart attack on Monday morning. No one really knows why, but a couple of possible reasons is getting ready to take on a new week, the stress of going back to work to a job you don't like or just putting up with some odd pain over the weekend that may spoil a nice time with family and friends.
Four important contributing factors to a heart attack are explained above. The key to heart attack prevention is healthy, clean arteries and other circulatory channels. Arteries open and close to provide needed circulation throughout the body. When you're stressed, frightened, tired or on caffeine and other stimulating drugs your arteries narrow and your blood pressure goes up. If there is an obstruction in a coronary artery, a blood clot can shut off the flow, causing a heart attack.
Hardening of the arteries is caused by deposits that build up on the inside wall of the artery and prevent it from opening and closing. Free radicals and inflammation attack an artery near your heart, causing a wound. A high reading of C-Reactive protein would indicate the body's effort to repair this wound with minerals, cholesterol and fats. Over time, these deposits harden like mud on a river bank.
You don't know it's happening because you can't feel it. Poor diet, lack of exercise and a lifestyle lacking preventative efforts to correct your situation brings on a serious arterial blockage resulting in a heart attack.
One solution is to clean them out. Dissolve the block. Heal the wound. Flush out the minerals to get rid of the mud and reduce the inflammation (C-Reactive protein). If you survive the attack a medical mechanical approach is the bypass and angioplasty which are extremely dangerous, expensive and debilitating, often causing brain damage or other dreadful affliction such as infections. Surgery will never make you "as good as new" or even as good as you were before the operation. Results always may vary due to the condition of the person, hospital and surgery team.
Mr. Dick Quinn was 42 when he first experienced angina. His family had a history of heart disease. He collapsed during his stress test. He wrote a book, Left For Dead, reporting his experience after his heart attack and failed bypass. His introduction to cayenne came about when a mother of a friend observed how exhausted he was after a short walk from his car to the lake shore and abruptly told him to begin taking cayenne red pepper right away. While he rested on the sandy beach she spoke of Dr. John Christopher and said cayenne would help him recover his health and prevent another heart attack.
She told of seeing Dr. Christopher recently at a seminar. During a break, a man had a heart attack in the lobby. Christopher hurriedly gave the man water with cayenne mixed into it and he was up and walking around in a few minutes. He didn't believe her. As he was still lying on the sand, trying to recover from the walk she said, "You look terrible." Again she repeated, "You need capsicum--cayenne red pepper."
How could she possibly know what his cardiologist didn't know. He had a wall full of degrees. His doctor must know what was good for him. He had no pep, no stamina, no energy, no color, no enthusiasm and was depressed. After six months into his "recovery," he had a blind spell that lasted a couple of hours. He reported his blind spell at his six month check. His doctor told him he should have another angiogram and told him he might need another coronary bypass.
At that moment in the cardiologist's office, he realized it was entirely up to him to heal himself. As he was driving home the words of the old woman at the lake came back to him, "You need capsicum," she had said. "Cayenne red pepper." He drove directly to the general store and bought a can of Fairway brand cayenne red pepper, went home, emptied a few capsules from an old prescription, filled them with cayenne and swallowed three. He slowly began feeling better with more energy. It was incredible and never returned to the doctor. He began to study the use of herbs. He was taking three capsules twice a day and soon added garlic to his daily program.
According to Dr. Christopher, cayenne dissolves the clot, opens the artery and stimulates the heart, stopping the heart attack. Studies conducted in Thailand show cayenne prevents a heart attack or stroke before it happens by lowering the fibrin in your blood, so blood clots can't form. He made a cayenne and oil paste on the foot to restore circulation for diabetic people threatened with amputation due to gangrene.

Allergies Can Come On Suddenly
A customer reported a friend of hers didn't even have allergies until he was in his 40s! But when he got them, he got them bad. So bad they were interfering with his work. He talked to his doctor, tried anti-inflammatory drugs, but everything failed. So I introduced him to a doctor friend of mine and he discovered that his allergies were being triggered by adrenal fatigue.
My doctor friend says that when your adrenals are exhausted they stop producing a hormone called cortisol. And cortisol is your body's best anti-allergy hormone - it's a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory. The problem is there are plenty of things that can exhaust your adrenal glands. Common causes include stress, bad diet, too much sugar and too many carbs, drugs, alcohol, and vitamin deficiencies. If you're suffering from allergies, infections or just feel drained all the time, it may be because your adrenals are weak. If you think this might be a problem, have your doctor check your adrenals and if it turns out that your levels of cortisol are low ask him about natural solutions.
My doctor told me that there are plenty of natural solutions that can boost your adrenals. Herbs, relaxation techniques, exercise, and nutritional supplements can all help. There are also several nutrients that are vital to the proper functioning of the adrenal glands. They include vitamin C, Vitamin B6, zinc, and magnesium.
Chakra Energy Candles
Chakra energy candles combine metaphysics with aromatherapy and can facilitate psychic and physical healing. They are enhanced with essential oil blends selected for their aromatherapy benefits relative to balancing each chakra. As the chakra energy candles burn they release beneficial, therapeutic vapors.
