The Skinny on Fats

----------------------------------------------------------------------

[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]

Let's get this one out in the open:

1. Fats do not make you gain bodyfat.

2. Fats do not put you on Heart Attack Row.

3. Fats are not the enemy.

We've been sold a bag of lies when it comes to fats.

Fats are essential for your body's hormone production, skin health, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and even burning bodyfat. Yep... you need fats to burn fat.!

Studies have been conducted to attempt to elevate cholesterol levels using high-fat diets. Most all of them have failed miserably -- in fact several "lowered" total cholesterol while raising the so-called "good" cholesterol (HDL).

That being said, you don't need the following...

1. A lot of fats in your diet. Fats still contain over twice the calories per gram as carbs and protein.

2. Any kind of "fake fats" -- margarine or processed oils of any kind are highly dangerous foods.

Here's my simple dietary fats solution:

1. Eat fats as they occur in nature, but eat at least 80% as they "actually" occur in nature -- meaning from grass-fed and free-range sources. The extra cost is worth it. It tastes better and your medical costs will well offset the few dollars more per pound you pay.

2. Cook with a combination of olive oil and coconut oil, but use both sparingly. If you are eating plenty of animal protein you do not need excessive fats... not because of 'danger' but because of needless calories. Not a good idea if you're wanting to keep your abs. But a bit of raw butter or olive oil can make bland veggies taste wonderful, so feel freee.

Also, omega 3-rich fats like olive oil and fish (and especially fish oil) help lower inflammation. That's the real culprit behind heart disease in most cases.

3. Avoid a lot of fats at night. The night-time meals should be high in lean protein (tuna, tofu, turkey breast) with very limited fats if you are wanting to really get lean. If you are just trying to shed bodyweight slowly, it's okay to have some fats at night.

Just do me a favor: If you are on the "Fats make you gain bodyfat and have heart attacks" bandwagon, jump off. We have consumed fat for countless thousands of years. Just consume it the way we always HAVE (naturally, not stuffed with hormones and cooked up in a lab) and you'll be fine.

If you want a diet-solution that actually uses dietary fats to help you take off the bodyfat, then use this one:

It's a real-world plan that allows you to eat your favorite foods and still shed the bodyweight you want.

And yes -- that includes fats.

FDA Attacks Natural Thyroid Millions Depend On

Here we go again, our suspicious FDA bureaucrats are playing scientist and THE all great guardian of public health.
This article appeared in the American Association of Health Freedom newsletter.  The report says that the FDA made an arbitrary decision to class these preparations as "unapproved drugs" with no real explaination.  As stated in this article these preparations are more complete Than the current non generic medications available.  The safety and the benefits have been seen since 1890 when they were first introduced.  Millions of people have come to depend on this source to combat the effects of hypothyroidism.

This quote shows the attempt to restrict these preparations.

  "We have learned that Time-Cap Labs, producer of a generic version of the brand name drug Armour, a natural and bioidentical thyroid replacement, has been ordered by the FDA to stop production. The FDA has decided to classify the company’s product, available for over a century, as an unapproved new drug. Since the new drug approval process is prohibitively expensive for a non-patentable substance, the FDA is in effect banning the natural product. The purpose? Presumably to protect the profits of other, inferior drugs that have been FDA approved."

Further into the article Dr. Jonathan Wright states:
   “Natural thyroid has never killed or severely harmed anyone since its first use in the 1890s, prior to the FDA itself. It is a mainstay not only in the treatment of hypothyroidism but also in ‘healthy aging’ therapy. That the FDA should even be thinking of requiring a new drug approval for a safe, 100 plus year old natural treatment is outrageous.”

The FDA is systematically forcing all of us to follow the profit making desires of the major drug companies. Thereby preventing the better therapies fr.rm even reaching our citizens for a complete and safe thyroid  support.

N1H1 Flu Vaccine

Did you know that the base for this vaccine comes from green monkeys in Africa?  They appear to be the base for all flue vaccines.  This time however, they are using actual cancerous cells to be injected into we humans. This is noted in a report found at http://mercola.com on September 8, 2009

It is also noted that the majority of Doctors and other healthcare professionals in Germany are refusing to get the vacination. They feel it has not been tested properly and that more people will suffer the consequenses of the cure than the disease.

The reports of infection of swine flu are being dramaticly misreported. the reason being taht the health officials are considering any flu to be the swine flu without any testing being provided.  This leads to a lot of misinforamtion and panic for those of us who have no idea what is really going on. So far it appears taht in China and even herre in the US the majority of cases are nothing more taht the traditional flu that can be treated with common sense measures.

We all need to look a lot deeper into this major infringement on our health and personal choices. Taking the word of the government agencies and the drug companies is putting our trust in the wrong place. So far the fear mongering and constant exposure to the current propaganda is not allowing the free expression of the truth on this disease.  The only thing that will come from this attack will be richer drug companies and a sicker population.

Legal Immunity Set for Swine Flu Vaccine Makers

The following exerpt is found on mercola.com newletter site.

Legal Immunity Set for Swine Flu Vaccine Makers

Prior to October 1, 1988, if you or your child were injured by a childhood vaccine you were allowed to file a lawsuit against a vaccine manufacturer to receive compensation. 

Because of such lawsuits, vaccines turned out to be a costly venture for pharmaceutical companies, who threatened to pull out of the vaccine business altogether. 

This led to the creation of The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the so-called “vaccine court.” This program has boosted vaccine sales growth immensely since its induction, largely because manufacturers now have zero liability for the products they produce. 

If your child becomes seriously injured or dies after receiving a childhood vaccine, the vaccine maker is completely shielded from liability. Even if you’re actually awarded compensation through NVICP, it is the taxpayers who pay, NOT the vaccine makers.

But that was for childhood vaccines. 

What we’re looking at now is the complete removal of liability for so-called pandemic vaccines, all adjuvants, and antiviral medications such as Tamiflu and Relenza.

In fact, ANY product used to fight "an epidemic" is protected under this law, and the government decides what drugs fit the bill. 

It is a blatant demonstration of just how powerful the corporate drug interests have become. Indeed, with the largest political lobby in Congress, their influence is so great they have been able to manipulate numerous laws that now insulate them from any responsibility in harming or killing people in their relentless drive to earn profits, without regard to human health or well-being.

Mr. Oboma could save $3.5 BILLION/year on drug costs alone...

It's called "pay for delay" and if you haven't heard of it, that's because they do everything they can to keep these deals as quiet as possible. Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission sued one drug company to block a deal it made with three generic manufacturers to keep cheaper alternatives off the market.

And now, the FTC is trying to get these deals banned outright, saying they cost consumers $3.5 billion per year. It's only 15 years too late.

This is money that's coming right out of our pockets, one way or another.

It costs insurers money when they have to spring for brand-name drugs instead of generics. And anyone who has insurance pays for it in the form of higher copays and higher premiums.

It costs the government money, because the feds pay a full third of all prescription drug costs. Killing these shady back-room deals would save the government $1.2 billion dollars. That's also money that comes from us, the taxpayers.

And of course it costs the millions of uninsured consumers when they have to reach into their own pockets to shell out extra money to pay for a brand-name drug because the generic manufacturer sold out to Big Pharma.

NaturalPedia.com Delivers New Encyclopedia of Natural Health Knowledge to the World

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

For the last two years, I've been working very hard on an important project to bring you free, open access to a wealth of information about natural remedies, nutritional cures and green living. The obstacles to its completion were enormous, but as you'll soon see, the effort was well worth it!

Allow me to introduce the new NaturalPedia (www.NaturalPedia.com), a free online encyclopedia of natural health knowledge from the industry's top authors and writers. This website is an amazing research tool that allows you to find quotes from natural health books on more than 50,000 topics.

For example, if you want to check out what's being written about a disease like diabetes, just go to http://naturalpedia.com/diabetes.html

If you'd like to learn how to prevent diabetes, you could go straight to http://naturalpedia.com/diabetes_pr...

And if you want to learn how diabetes can be helped with regular exercise, you can visit this page that combines "diabetes" with "exercise": http://www.naturalpedia.com/D/Diabe...

NaturalPedia includes hundreds of thousands of quotations from 570 books, covering over 53,000 keyword concepts. Even more interestingly, it has calculated more than 23 million keyword correlations, then used advanced linguistic analysis logic to pair keywords in meaningful ways (such as a disease and an herb), allowing you to drill down and find the nutrients, herbs and substances that can help prevent or reverse almost any disease or health condition known to modern medicine.

For example, from our page on cancer (http://www.naturalpedia.com/cancer.html), you can choose the related concept of selenium and click to read quotes on both topics: cancer and selenium (http://www.naturalpedia.com/C/Cance...).

You can also see a detailed conceptual analysis of each of the 570 books currently included in the NaturalPedia system. For example, this page on The China Study by T. Colin Campbell reveals an amazing amount of detail on the book: http://www.naturalpedia.com/book_Th...

It not only shows you the word count of the book, it also reveals a list of the most prominent concepts in the book, sorted by frequency. On the right margin, additional conceptually-related books are recommended for further exploration.

With well over one million unique web pages of compiled content, NaturalPedia represents the most comprehensive book-based online natural health encyclopedia in the world.
