It isn’t that hard to combat chronic stress but you need to take active measures before it kills you.  The number one thing is exercise.  My favorite way to simplify life, is to workout at home, when I have an extra 15 minutes.   Try www.area365.com for free for a month during the nasty cold of winter.

Here it is.  More amazing news from the world of natural health.  I am often so surprised at how common sense and good judgment are thrown to the wind when people talk about health care.

I have the next edition of Bruce West’s Newsletter  out for download.  It has been a while since I put one out and I’m a little back logged, but since so many of you asked about them, here is more great health info.

If you are chronically tense or anxious then there is a nervous system imbalance.   If you have lots of spasms or muscle cramps that’s a good indication that your parasympathetic nervous system is not running well enough to slow your body or mind down.  The primary alkaline minerals that help are potassium and magnesium mostly found in vegetables.

The flip side are the stimulators, grains, cakes, pies, cookies, crackers, pasta contain acidic minerals that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and keep you going, and going.  The common American diet often contains too much of these and not enough veggies.

Organically bound minerals from Standard Process is our best alkaline mineral supplement.  Most supplement makers get potassium from salt.  Standard Process gets it from Spanish Moss, and Alfalfa.   Also, a chronic dry mouth may be a call for more minerals.

Have you had your rocks today?
Most calcium on the market is Calcium Carbonate (limestone) or oyster shell.  This is very difficult for your body to use, as a result it soaks up lots  of stomach acid leaving you with indigestion.  If you are having reflux issues, check your calcium.

Medical magazine contradictions are too numerous to list here just download and read page 3.  They say one thing to help then give the opposite advice for medical treatment in the same magazine.  The truth about cholesterol and heart disease and diabetes on page 4.

Cancer Fighters

More good news for sulforaphane from things like our old friends kale and broccoli, etc.  They  found good research using these for breast cancer prevention.  If sulforaphane is isolated from it’s food source it loses 95% of its activity.  They may claim anti-cancer activity but forget to tell you that it doesn’t work because it is not in its whole-food form.  This is why  we recommend Standard Process for supplements.

Cruciferous Complete from Standard Process has been proven to detoxify excess estrogen.
as a nice bonus it also may help age-related macular degeneration

Crop Nutrition Declining over 50 years

43 common crops showed declines.  They compared standard soil to organic soil with organic mulch.  The organic soil and mulch plants had 300-500% more calcium, magnesium, potassium.  That was 50 years ago.  Since then there has been even more depletion.

After having dogs most of my life, there is some wonderful info on pets and having healthy pets.

BACK TO THE GOODIES

Full March issue of Bruce West Here .

This months Bruce West has some pretty juicy stuff on the heart and those lovely medical studies.

Highlights in this month’s Bruce West Newsletter

Here we go again with a new study showing remarkable results from the statin drug CRESTOR^®.  This expensive statin drug was having trouble finding a market because of a lukewarm acceptance from doctors, so the drug company underwrites a study claiming the drug could save millions of lives if millions of people were using it.  The “medical experts” are calling it “paradigm shifting”.

Where are the double-blind studies comparing Crestor to cheaper drugs, or even non-drug therapies.   Why is the price so high?  What are the long term effects of these drugs.  Past 3-5 years people start to suffer.

Medical studies are just that—Medical studies.  They never compare them to anything alternative nor do they EVER study alternatives.

Dr. Altman here–If you want a true “paradigm shift” read my book coming out later this week.  Some of the most remarkable things about the heart are in there that I haven’t even seen Bruce West writing about.

Back to Bruce…

Add points of interest about CRESTOR^®
¤ For every 2 years of Crestor Therapy 991 out of 1000 will recieve no benefit

¤ 60% of statin drug trials failed to report side effects

¤ 25% of people in the trial stopped on their own.  Side effects are suspected

¤ Crestor is still patented for $105/month.  Generics are $10

¤ The disclaimer list at the end of the trial takes 1/2 page of tiny print.

Cholesterol functions you may not want to interfere with.

¤ It patches damaged blood vessels.
¤ Necessary for all hormone production.
¤ Vitamin D production.  (This is why statin users have a higher rate of osteoporosis)
¤ Brain cell function
¤ Proper health of every cell you have.

For some amazing heart attack prevention that has nothing to do with drugs check out page 2 of the full newsletter.

Prostate health on page 3

This is one of my new favorite subjects.  The great antioxidant hoax.

I had a banana this morning.  Many of you probably have had a banana this week.  The first thing you do is peel it, right.  The peel can be very deceptive.  Mine was brown and spotty, yet the banana on the inside was perfect.  Now, eat the peel.

The peel is the antioxidant protector of the good fruit on the inside.  Antioxidants are not for you.  They protect the valuable vitamins on the inside.  Supplement makers would like you to eat 10,000 chemical copies of that peel.

Stick to REAL whole food supplements and you won’t have to worry about any monkey business.
