http://www.encognitive.com Vitamin D: importance in the prevention of cancers, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. The purpose of this review is to put into perspective the many health benefits of vitamin D and the role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk of many common and serious diseases, including some common cancers, type 1 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Numerous epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to sunlight, which enhances the production of vitamin D3 in the skin, is important in preventing many chronic diseases. Because very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, sunlight supplies most of our vitamin D requirement. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the metabolite that should be measured in the blood to determine vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in infants who are solely breastfed and who do not receive vitamin D supplementation and in adults of all ages who have increased skin pigmentation or who always wear sun protection or limit their outdoor activities. Vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. A new dietary source of vitamin D is orange juice fortified with vitamin D. Studies in both human and animal models add strength to the hypothesis that the unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency worldwide is a contributing factor of many chronic debilitating diseases. Greater awareness of the insidious consequences of vitamin D deficiency is needed. Annual measurement of serum 25(OH)D is a reasonable approach to monitoring for vitamin D deficiency. The recommended adequate intakes for vitamin D are inadequate, and, in the absence of exposure to sunlight, a minimum of 1000 IU vitamin D/d is required to maintain a healthy concentration of 25(OH)D in the blood. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/3/362

http://www.encognitive.com Vitamin C - The Most Essential Nutrient Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a vitamin only because it is a nutrient essential for life that is not manufactured in the body and must be obtained from outside sources. Every living thing on this planet except primates (Including man) and guinea pigs produce their own Vitamin C internally, do not require it in their diet, and do not suffer from a host of diseases and maladies caused by Vitamin C deficiencies. Vitamin C is manufactured internally from glucose by a four-step process, each requiring a specific enzyme. Humans have the first three enzymes but the fourth is damaged and non functional apparently from a genetic mutation that occurred in our distant ancestors. It seems that we really have a species wide genetic disease. Perhaps fixing this genetic defect should be a primary goal for the genetic engineers of this century. There is a fifth step in vitamin C cycle, the conversion of ascorbic acid into mineral ascorbates in the liver. The price of vitamin C deficiency is staggering. Mammals with the enzyme can live 8-10 times their maturity age. Mammals without it have a hard time living to 3-4 times their maturity age. Therefore, if humans had the gene to make their own vitamin C, the human life span could be more like 300 years. Humans have cardiovascular disease and arthritis while other mammals do not. Humans are also more susceptible to viruses and infections than animals with their own vitamin C. What Vitamin C Does for Us What does vitamin C do for us? There are more than ten thousand published scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process and not one disease or syndrome that is not influenced by vitamin C. Vitamin C is particularly known for these functions: * Antioxidant Activity - Free radicals cause oxidative damage to cells and organs, accelerates aging, contributes to arteriosclerosis and cancer. Vitamin C is a powerful and important antioxidant. * Collagen Synthesis - Collagen is the foundation of all connective tissue, literally everything that holds the body together. Scurvy is the result of deterioration of the blood vessels resulting in hemorrhage, bleeding gums, bruising, loose teeth, tendency of bones to fracture, etc. Maladies affecting tendons, ligaments, skin, bone, teeth, cartilage, heart valves, intervertebral discs, cornea, and eye lens also result from vitamin C deficiency. There is a long continuum between scurvy and optimum tissue integrity. Most of us suffer from sub-clinical scurvy. * Immune System - Vitamin C is a requirement for the proper functioning of our immune systems. It is involved in white blood cell production, T-cells, and macrophages. Without Vitamin C in adequate quantities, our own body's best defense against disease is left without fuel. * Cardiovascular System - Cats and rats do not develop arteriosclerosis. The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help prevent the formation of arterial plaque. The support of connective tissues enables arteries to be strong and elastic, reducing the risk of aneurisms, stroke, and other problems. http://www.advance-health.com/c.html

There are many myths about diet and health that have come to be taken for truths simply because they have been repeated so many times. If you were to ask virtually anyone over the age of 40 what is the major cause of heart disease they would likely say elevated cholesterol. The fact is that excess cholesterol has never caused a single case of heart disease in medical history. Statin drugs, used to lower cholesterol have many side effects. In fact, statin drugs are one of only a few groups of drugs that require routine blood tests because they are so dangerous. Statin drugs should be avoided and used only as a last resort. Elevated cholesterol can be managed by natural means. These can provide the same control by nourishing the liver and lowering elevated cholesterol. Another myth is that the artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, splenda, and saccharin do not cause weight gain. Not only do aspartame, splenda, and saccharin cause weight gain, but these sweeteners can have other side effects as well. Using aspartame, splenda or saccharin in moderation is fine, but excess can cause weight gain. Low fat diets are another myth as we are told that they are the best way to lose weight. Low fat diets are very dangerous as fat, the right fat, is essential. The dangers of low fat diets are many and include dry skin, loss of hair and liver problems. Free radicals have also been ignored as less than important but the fact is that free radical damage to cells of the body is the leading cause of many diseases. Antioxidants protect the body against free radical damage, which is why taking antioxidants is so important. In fact antioxidant nutrients should be a part of every supplement program. Everyone knows that calcium is a very important mineral, especially for women. Calcium can prevent Bone loss, also known as osteoporosis, but only if the right forms of calcium is taken. Calcium is one of the most difficult minerals for the body to absorb and in order for calcium to build bones and prevent bone loss and osteoporosis; key trace minerals must be present such as boron, manganese, copper, zinc and strontium. These trace minerals must be in the blood stream the same time as the calcium in order to carry calcium back to bones and prevent bone loss and osteoporosis. Candida or systemic human yeast is another condition that is most often overlooked by mainstream medicine. Candida can cause a host of low-grade side effects, which tend to worsen the longer the condition persists. Systemic candida is the worst form of this condition as it can affect almost any area of the body. Candida treatments such as the candida or yeast diet is almost worthless. People have followed the candida or yeast diet for months or even years, only to have the problem return once the diet is no longer followed. This is because the candida or yeast diet only addresses the symptoms and does nothing to eliminate the candida organism. Our program does eliminate systemic yeast or candida. If you suffer from one of these or any other chronic condition, visit our websites, www.healthyinformation.com or www.chronicdiseasealternatives.com for more information on how our programs have helped thousands of others and may offer help for you as well.

In this video Swami Ramdev talks about the benefits of Yoga and how it can help cure thousands of diseases for which there are no cures available so far by the medical sciences including Allopathic and Ayurvedic. Baba Ramdev Ji talks the benefits of the different Yoga techniques while visually teaching the different kind of Yoga/Pranayam techniques like Kapalbhati, Anulom Vilom and Bhramri Pranayama. He also tells how the impact and magnitude of motivation on oneself differs between when you are watching his preachings on TV/DVD versus physically attending one of his 5 or 6 day camps. He clearly mentions in the Video how watching his teachings on TV for 6 months is equal to a 6 day camp. Another good part of this video is that there is a real case study of a woman named Vandana who was diagnosed with several uncurable diseases at Gangaram Hospital in India and how Yoga and following Swami Ramdev Ji for around 2 years cured her to a point which medical science describes as 100% Fit and Normal. Reports from the same hospital mention the same thing. Swami Ji tells how millions of people have benefited from several minor diseases like Migraine, Constipation, Obesity, Wieght Loss, Head Aches, Body Aches, Hypertension, Cholestrol, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Acne and several kinds of Allergies as well as major diseases like Infertility, Cancer, Aids, Hepatitis, Parkinsons, Cardio Vescular, several kinds of Heart Diseases, Tumors of all kins (Brain Tumor in case of this woman Vandana) etc were all cured just by following simple Pranayam techniques. Checkout www.YogaCampHouston.com to find details about his Camp in Houston, Texas in July 2008 as well as his other scheduled camps throughout the world. The site also provides links to other websites that provide more detailed information about Swami Ramdev.
