 Forget Avian Flu: The Real Health Threat America Faces
I desperately want to alert you to a health threat that is both insidious and largely unrecognized. A threat far more real and imminent than the risks posed today by the Avian flu to the You may be asking what is this and how come I haven't heard about it? The answer to the first question, what is it, is Syndrome X, Insulin Resistance or Metabolic Disorder. You generally have it if you suffer from just two or more of these factors; sugar metabolism imbalances and insulin resistance, unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, abdominal weight gain, food cravings, joint stiffness, fatigue and low energy, sleep disorders and mood swings. So what really is this "health boogeyman? Dr. Gerald Reaven, a highly respected Well, Dr. Reaven's greatest fears seem to be occurring faster than even he first thought. The New York Times in a January 9h front page article titled "The Stealth Epidemic" reported that 1 in 8 New Yorkers has diabetes and that many do not even know they suffer. In less affluent or immigrant communities, the number drops to 1 in 6 or 7. The implication of what the NY Times reported will certainly be devastating to those who will suffer.. But there will also be other consequences. The medical cost to treat the people affected, rich and poor, will be enormous. The second question is why haven't I heard much about this. The answer is two-fold. The first, most doctors just don't get it. When you visit the doctor and mention your lack of energy, the mood swings, unexplained weight gain or joint stiffness, their training tells them to "shower" you with prescription drugs. Truth is, while these drugs may help alleviate the symptoms, they do nothing to improve your underlying health! The second answer, also just reported in the New York Times on January 11th in an article entitled "In the Treatment of Diabetes, Success Often Does Not Pay" observes that the medical establishment is phasing out preventive, low-cost health programs to deal with the increasing threat of diabetes because there's just not enough money in it. They point out that "insurers, for example, will often refuse to pay $150 for a diabetic to see a podiatrist, who can help prevent foot ailments associated with the disease. Nearly all of them, though, cover amputations, which typically cost more than $30,000 and that patients have trouble securing a reimbursement for a $75 visit to the nutritionist who counsels them on controlling their diabetes. Insurers do not balk, however, at paying $315 for a single session of dialysis, which treats one of the disease's serious complications." Ladies & Gentleman Forget Your Doctor: Now's The Time to Take Control of Your Own Health! I think I've made my position clear. With few exceptions your doctor and the medical establishment at large are not there to protect you from the risks Syndrome X poses to you, your family and friends. The good news is that there are several things you can do to minimize the risk you face of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, joint and muscle pain and fatigue. You've heard several of them before: · Eat a balanced diet · Get plenty of rest (at least seven preferably eight hours nightly) · Drink 6 or more 8 ounce glasses of water a day · Don't smoke and if you do, quit. · Get regular exercise. In addition to these overall, good sense things you should do, health researchers like Dr. Richard A. Anderson, a Senior Scientist at the USDA Research Center, say's there are several key nutritional supplements you can take that work with your body to combat the effects of Syndrome X. The first is an extract of Cinnamon. Dr. Anderson found that 250 mg daily of the Cinnamon Extract (known commercially as Cinnulin PF) which contains the Type A Polymer stimulates glucose metabolism. What's more, these Type A Polymers also exhibit powerful antioxidant protection preventing dangerous free radicals from forming within the bloodstream. Dr. Anderson is quoted as saying "this is an important side benefit that can possibly slow or reduce the progression of complications from diabetes." Additional research on Cinnulin PF show it as having an extraordinary potential as an alternative treatment in managing cholesterol levels and promoting cardiovascular health.
Taking 250 mg of Cinnulin I
believe is a good start to help protect yourself against the hidden risks
of Syndrome X. In my research, I've also found ten other powerful
nutrients you should consider taking. I've assembled a list nutrients that
researchers believe can go a long way towards keeping you healthy and
vibrant for many years. In upcoming Health Breakthrough Briefs, I speak
more about the health benefits of each of these essential nutrients.
Nutrient: Recommended Amount
Per Day
Alpha Lipoic
Acid
100mg
Chromium 200mcg Selenium 200mcg Manganese 5mg Vanadium HVP 10mcg Magnesium 200mg Green tea extract 50% Polyphenols 240mg Mixed Carotenoids 20mg Niacinamide B3 30mg Pyridoxine B6 50mg Folic Acid 400mcg Biotin B8 2mg Cyanocobalamin B12 200mcg
While the
list is long, the research I've seen really supports the need to get at
least this amount into your body. The good news is that some of you may
already be getting some of these essential nutrients from the
multivitamins you take. It all depends on what you take and what is clear
is that you'll need to add Cinnamon in the form of Cinnulin PF to get the
full benefit.
(For those of you who either don't take a high-end
multi or who want a simple and very convenient two a day supplement that
contains Cinnulin and the other nutrients, you may want to take a look at Metorin X.
You can also call 877-880-7800 for more information. Metorin X is the result of nearly a year of research conducted by me and a team of doctors, biochemists and pharmacists both here in the

Round-Up:
Coenzyme Q10 May Slow Functional Decline in Parkinson's Disease A review article published in CNS Drugs highlighting new and emerging therapies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease indicates that coenzyme Q10 is a promising treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease. Results of studies related to coenzyme Q10 treatment in Parkinson's disease suggests that it slows down functional decline and can have a symptomatic, neuroprotective and neurorestorative effect Homeopathy May Benefit Patients with Chronic Diseases A 6-year study, reported in the Journal Alternative Complimentary Medicine, of 6,544 patients with a wide range of chronic conditions, showed that homeopathic intervention can provide positive health changes to a substantial proportion of the patients. The patients received routine homeopathic care at an outpatient clinic of the Bristol Homeopathic Hospital, a UK National Health Service Hospital. At the end of every follow-up consultation, patient outcomes based on scores on a 7-point Likert-type scale were assessed as overall outcomes compared to their baseline assessments. Of all the patients, 50.7% rated their overall health change as better or much better, while 70.7% of the patients reported some degree of improvement. Thus, this study suggests that homeopathic treatment may benefit patients with a wide range of chronic ailments, and warrants further studies using different designs to further research the effectiveness of homeopathy Yoga Helps Alleviate Mental Distress A controlled study conducted at the University of Duisberg-Essen in Germany involving 24 women (mean age: 37.9 years) with self-perceived mental distress, showed that participation in a 3-month yoga program consisting of two 90-minute classes per week, significantly improved the mental attitudes of the participants. Subjects were divided into two groups - Group 1 consisted of 16 women who participated in the 3-month yoga program ("Iyengar yoga"), and Group 2 consisted of 8 women who were put on a waiting list, who served as controls. Subjects completed various tests to measure different aspects of psychological health and well-being both before the yoga program, and again after the 3-month yoga program. Significant improvements were seen in the women who participated in the yoga program, as compared with the control group. Specifically, improvements in perceived stress, and on scores of tests measuring anxiety, well-being, vigor, fatigue, and depression, were found. In addition, improvements in physical well-being, such as marked pain relief, were experienced by women who had complained of headaches and back pain at the start of the study. This study suggests that yoga may have a significant role to play in safely and effectively reducing stress and improving mental/psychological health in women experiencing mental distress
