What’s in Your Multiple Vitamin? Detecting Real Quality. Part 1 – MineralsWednesday, April 23, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Junky vitamins are often passed off as quality, and many times endorsed by a physician or celebrity. There are many tricks that low quality supplement companies use to hide their poor quality, spending more money on marketing than on what is under the hood. Vitamin D Boosts Your Brain FunctionTuesday, April 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Is there anything vitamin D doesn’t do? All those vitamin D receptors in your brain apparently want vitamin D so that your mind functions normally! Is Obesity the Chicken or the Egg for Disease Risk?Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Novel mice experiments carried out by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center are helping to clarify the relationship of fat and disease. Mice bred not to be able to store fat, which were then fed a high fat diet, became diabetic and diseased much faster than the mice who could store the surplus calories as fat. US Olympic Athletes to Boycott China’s Food SupplyTuesday, April 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Knowing its athletes were unlikely to win any medals eating McDonalds, and realizing all other options were based on the quality of the Chinese food supply, the United States Olympic Committee has decided to go against the grain and bring along the food it needs to feed its athletes. Elephants in the Health Care RoomTuesday, April 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Health care costs, whether paid for by private or tax-payer money, are about to collide with several elephants standing in line in the health care room. How to Control Food CravingsSunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Staying on a healthy diet is based on your ability to stay in charge of what goes into your mouth. As most people know, this is easier said than done. Just about every person needing to lose weight knows what they are supposed to be eating. When you do it right you don’t have to worry about eating too much because you simply don’t want to. Hot Flashes and Blood Sugar Sunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Novel research by nurses at the University of Texas is documenting that when blood sugar lowers then hot flashes are more likely and that when food is eaten then hot flashes may stay away for up to 90 minutes. Vanity Fair Exposes Monsanto’s Poisoning of Our FoodSunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The new “Green Revolution” is far different than the Rockefeller version that followed WWII. This one is looking into just why and how our country got so polluted and our food supply became so adulterated. For any investigative reporter it doesn’t take long to come upon Monsanto, who is now altering our entire food supply for the worse. Are Antioxidants Safe?Sunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A recent Danish study was intended to raise doubt amongst antioxidant consuming Americans. It has been widely circulated in the Big-Pharma sponsored mainstream media – which is typical. Antioxidants are the foundation of health for every cell in your body. If you don’t have enough your cells will die faster and generate inflammation at much higher rates – aging your body faster. Nothing about this simple fact has ever changed – nor will it. Boosting your diet with high quality dietary supplements containing antioxidants is common sense. The Key Foods to Eat OrganicSunday, April 20, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It remains a considerable challenge for the American public to find fresh food of adequate quality. We all know we should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, but many of them are contaminated with pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides. Virtually all chemicals used work by poisoning the nervous system of the pest, meaning they are fat-soluble and able to irritate the lining of your arteries and cross your blood brain barrier. Levels far below what causes cancer are able to initiate metabolic disruption, thyroid dysfunction, and cardiovascular irritation. Female Teenage Athletes at Risk for Bone LossFriday, April 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A combination of low fat dieting, not eating enough in general, and high levels of exercise may seriously weaken the bones of teenage female athletes – potentially handicapping their bone density for the rest of their lives. Vitamin E Extends Life of Alzheimer’s PatientsFriday, April 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study being reported at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in Chicago finds that 2,000 IU of vitamin E per day extended the lifespan of Alzheimer’s patients by 26%, something that no drug can do. Guess What? - A Fat Stomach Craves FoodThursday, April 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It was just discovered that belly fat cells make an appetite signal which increases as you become overweight, causing you to crave more food, which makes you even fatter in the abdominal area, in turn causing you to crave even more food. Vioxx Shocker – Merck Wrote Many of the Published StudiesThursday, April 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The lawsuits over Vioxx have forced very uncomfortable documents into public view, exposing that Big Pharma has massively corrupted the scientific database with what amounts to promo pieces written by its own employees who then pay for prestigious doctors to attach their names to the studies as if they are legitimate – hiding the fact the drug companies wrote their own studies and conclusions in the first place. Cell Phone Cover-Up – Is Your Brain at Risk? Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The latest stone thrown at the 200-billion-dollar-a-year cell phone industry came from a study by neurosurgeon Vini G. Khurana entitled Mobile Phone-Brain Tumour: Public Health Advisory. His meta-analysis of existing cell phone studies may not contain a lot of new information; but his rather alarming message was carried by media around the world: “there is a growing body of statistically significant evidence for a relationship between the overall length of use of a mobile phone and the delayed occurrence of a brain tumor on the same side of the head as the ‘preferred side’ for mobile phone usage.” He claimed a 2-4 fold increased risk following 10 years of regular use. Tips on Reducing Cell Phone RiskTuesday, April 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is now clear that cell phones emit radiofrequency radiation into the brain of the user. Cell studies clearly show that this level of exposure can trigger brain cell inflammation and brain cell death by inducing DNA damage and generating massive numbers of free radicals. Such brain cell damage has been proven with 2 hours of continuous exposure. Billions of Dollars Wasted on Medication InjuriesTuesday, April 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Great Britain, like the United States, is finding that the Big Pharma paradigm of health leaves plenty of injured victims in the wake of its path. They report over 1,000,000 injuries requiring emergency room treatment at the cost of 2 billion pounds (or about 4 billion U.S. dollars). Janet Woodcock of the FDA has stated “1.3 million people are accidentally injured…” Vitamin D and Calcium Help Kill Colon Cancer CellsMonday, April 14, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There are more reasons to take vitamin D and calcium than just bone health. It has been known for some time that vitamin D and calcium are associated with less colon cancer. Researchers at Emory University have now identified key gene signaling that helps explain how these nutrients work to help kill cancer cells and protect your health. How to Get Rid of CelluliteSunday, April 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) While there is no quick fix for cellulite, there are definite things you can do to stop the problem from getting worse and even improve the appearance of the problem. Vytorin Fraud Plot ThickensSunday, April 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Merck and Schering-Plough find themselves on a hot seat, likely to be held accountable for 10 billion dollars worth of fraud due to false marketing of their cholesterol-lowering drug Vytorin. Low LDL Cholesterol Associated with Parkinson’s RiskSunday, April 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is a rather sad commentary on American Heart Association’s and Big Pharma’s aggressive marketing of statin drugs that their abnormally low proposed levels of LDL cholesterol for heart health (<90) are the very same levels associated with a new study’s findings for a significantly increased risk for Parkinson’s disease. DHA During Pregnancy Boosts Infant’s Brain PowerSunday, April 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) DHA is an essential fatty acid required for the healthy development of the brain and eyesight in children. A new study indicates that it is of vital importance for the mother to have this nutrient during pregnancy to optimize her child’s sensory, cognitive, and motor skill development. Birth Weight & Early Weight Gain = Heart DiseaseSunday, April 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new British study links inflammation from the womb (low birth weight babies) through early life weight gain and shows that this issue sets the stage for cardiovascular disease in later life. How to Prevent Vaccine InjuryWednesday, April 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is a colossal failure on the part of our government to not warn parents of the actual risks associated with vaccines. The blind insistence that vaccines are safe and effective is not supported by science, at least for a significant number of our children. There are now 25,000 children per year developing autism (1 in 150), a problem that has expanded in direct proportion to the increase in vaccinations. How do you know if your child is at risk? Tocotrienols Protect Against Mercury ToxicityTuesday, April 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Tocotrienols have now demonstrated superior anti-oxidant function that protects against exposure from methylmercury. Can Pantethine Help Repair the Brain?Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) French scientists have just reported that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can initiate the repair of brain networks that have been damaged. This finding has far-ranging implications for mood, cognitive function, and recovery from significant problems involving the loss of neurological function such as a stroke. CDC Under Attack for “Losing” Negative Vaccine DataTuesday, April 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is coming under a microscope for its inept handling of vaccine data that likely showed a link between mercury in vaccines and autism. The CDC insists publicly that there is no link between mercury in vaccines and autism, based on several studies with numerous flaws in design. It appears the CDC has tampered with data to slant results to its favor – a common trick of Big Pharma when trying to hide poor results and cover its rear end. CNN Helps Autism Debacle Blow Up in Government’s FaceThursday, April 03, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) On April 2, 2008 CNN spent the day bringing awareness to the problem of autism. Larry King’s segment, which included Jenny McCarthy along with a panel of guests, was particularly enlightening. My hat is off to Jenny, a celebrity mother who is making it quite uncomfortable for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to ignore parents of autistic children seeking answers. Why does a mom have to do the work of the CDC? The answer is rather simple: our government’s zeal to insist on too many vaccines while ignoring the actual risks is the driving force behind the autism tragedy. A Mother’s Leptin Problems Linked to Autism RiskThursday, April 03, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The importance of a mom being healthy body weight prior to pregnancy and having good nutritional status and eating habits has now been driven home by a new autism study. The study showed that children who develop early autism have significantly higher blood levels of leptin. Those levels are high because of adverse fetal programming due to a leptin resistant mother. Vytorin Fraud Blasted at Heart MeetingTuesday, April 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is not often that Big Pharma-friendly doctors pile on to a drug that is in a tailspin. That was the picture last weekend at the big American College of Cardiology meetings. A physician panel as well as the New England Journal of Medicine blasted the cholesterol-lowering Vytorin – a move sure to relegate its use to mothballs. Mother’s Healthy Choices Influence Obesity in OffspringTuesday, April 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A wide range of cutting edge obesity research was presented at a Conference held March 28, 2008 in Great Brittan. The conference focused on the importance of prenatal, postnatal, and early childhood eating as a determinant for later life food choices and obesity risk. Food Addiction and Stress Eating Mechanism IdentifiedTuesday, April 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) By experimenting with mice that were bred to have no sweet-taste ability, a direct link of food intake to pleasure has been identified for the first time. This mechanism is important because it links food acquisition directly to addictive or stress-related eating “solutions.” A Fat Stomach Sets the Stage for Cognitive DeclineTuesday, April 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A three decade study looked into the relationship between abdominal fat and the risk for developing dementia. The findings are not good news for any person with extra weight around the middle. It was revealed that the larger your waistline in your 40s, the greater the risk for developing dementia in later life. Friendly Flora Prevents Tissue DestructionTuesday, April 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) An interesting study shows that friendly flora (lactic acid bacteria or acidophilus) helps prevent the destruction of important structural components of the digestive tract (chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid). For many years I have observed that individuals who eat too much sugar or who have an imbalanced digestive tract have an increase in joint pains and aches. I have seen this issue cause serious problems, including arthritis in children. Fosamax Linked to Serious Abnormal Bone FracturesThursday, March 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) On March 20, 2008, The New England Journal of Medicine published a physician group report of 15 women taking Fosamax who experienced “atypical low-energy fractures,” which means their bones broke doing almost nothing – a serious kind of injury typically seen in very elderly individuals in declining health. The fact that the NEJM is reporting this is a major wake up call to anyone who hasn’t figured out that Fosamax is dangerous to your health. Dangers of Psych Drugs in PregnancyMonday, March 24, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The Senate is about to approve legislation (Mothers Act – S.1375) which mandates the indoctrination of pregnant and nursing mothers into the use of extremely dangerous psychiatric medication. We already know this class of medication poses serious health risks to both mother and baby. Consequences to the baby are now proven to cause nerve-related changes that can adversely affect health for a lifetime. Reducing Inflammation to Help Solve ObesityMonday, March 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study involving twins helps to document the precise nature of inflammation as a major causative factor in obesity. This information can help you focus on what you really need to work on to improve the situation. Bone Research Leads to Big Fat DiscoveryMonday, March 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Scientists are now linking precise mechanisms showing how immune cells stimulate new fat cells, causing obesity. Obesity Increases Risk for Aggressive Breast CancerMonday, March 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A wake up call has been issued to women. If you are overweight and you get breast cancer it is more likely to be life threatening, and you have significantly poorer odds of being alive 5 or 10 years following treatment if weight issues are not corrected. Folic Acid Important for BonesMonday, March 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) An interesting 5 year Italian study of postmenopausal women found that the rate of bone loss correlated to levels of folic acid deficiency. It is already known that elevated homocysteine (often due to folic acid deficiency) increases the risk for bone fractures. This study found that folic acid deficiency alone, independent of homocysteine, was a key link.
