Have people been noticing how there are so many different answers to how to cure things? Which ones work and which don't?
I've been reading about supplements and diet for 25 years or more. And from what I can tell it's a lot easier to know what to do to stay healthy than what to do to cure something. I've been preaching to family and friends for 15 years now that they should be taking fish oil/cod liver oil supplements. That if they only take one supplement that's the one. It has only been in the last 2 or 3 years that the some of estabalished medical people have been recommending fish oil. Point is anything that works will take 20+ years to be accepted and probably longer if its an over the counter food supplement.
Prevention is the answer, not curative therapies. How can a 70-year old smoker be dumbfounded that they have emphysema and osteoporosis? These are the supplements I recommend to many for optimal health: ALCAR r-Alpha Lipoic Acid [Na-RALA] Delta, Gamma Tocotrienols EGCg [from green tea extract] Idebenone Mole-distilled EPA fish oil NAC This assumes you're taking a quality multivitamin. To take it further -- legitimate hGH secretagogues: Mucuna Pruriens, 60% L-Dopa Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine
Yes, I hear fish oil is really good to take and I think I may start taking that. I take a daily multivitamin but not much others. I also wanted to try this supplement that I saw that supported better memory and concentration. Do you think that is good?
Don't buy any compounded formula you see on tv. Google "Alpha GPC" or use the following link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...S:official&hs=jO2&q=alpha+gpc+nih&btnG=Search
I have an illness that most classify as being one of the hundreds of common, chronic, environmental illnesses. I have an illness that has been declared an epidemic by the US government. I don't want to say which illness. I've been through too much crap explaining it to relatives and others. It's sort of like Multiple Sclerosis. Up until the 1950's, MS was once thought to be a psychological problem by MDs. MS up until then was called "hysterical paralysis", even though these people were dying from it. They said the same thing about polio for a long time. Idiots. MDs over the last few years have been admitting to themselves that the illness that I have is a real biological illness with an untold multitude of measurable abnormalities. Years ago I thought it would be a brilliant idea to drop out of college and work in a plastics factory and I spent quite a while on the production floor. I had chemical exposure at the factory, I did not eat well, ( I ate whatever tasted good!), I worked too hard which can help wear out the adrenals, and rested too little. Plus just the common household chemicals and building materials. Chemicals are everywhere. They are added to food etc. Every time you drink water, you are drinking down hundreds of different drugs that people have consumed and flushed down the toilet, down the river to the next town's water "processing facilities". A large percentage of the population have a genetic inability to detoxify as well as most, and I have that inability as my Dr has tested me for that. I have also been actually malnourished for years. Malnourishment is not just a lack of calories, it is a lack of nutrients and plant chemicals or phytochemicals. Modern, chronic illnesses don't have one thing wrong. There is a broad range of problems that occur. Suppose you accidentally ingest a single poison. There won't be just one thing wrong with you. The poison could damage numerous organs, the endocrine system, nerves, brain etc. Most toxins have an affinity for certain areas of the body. Suppose your environment has hundreds of poisonous chemicals. Each one alone won't do much to you. Put each of those extremely small dosages all together and there is a synergistic effect that radically multiplies each others toxic effects. Most illnesses today are a result of what we, knowingly or not, have done to ourselves in the past. Allopathic medicine has been none better at saving trauma victims lives. It had been doing an excellent job fighting most infectious diseases, but bacteria have been mutating and becoming resistant. Allopathic medicine has done a miserable job of treating patients with chronic illnesses that are caused by the environment or poor lifestyle choices. Allopathic medicine has been promising miraculous cures for these types of illnesses for decades. Where's the cure for ALS? Autism? MS? Diabetes? Cancer? Every year the cure is just around the corner. It's been a hundred years of waiting. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Once you have symptoms of an illness, you have to fight like hell to get some of it back.
wow that is incredible. You are very knowledgeable about these environmental illnesses, that is a good thing. Now you can teach others and so on. We need to be aware of all these things.
I repeat my earlier non-medical mantra, I think you can never cure something that natural occurs in the body. Taking away outside factors that directly lead to certain diseased, i think most things like Alzheimers and MLS etc... are natural in the sense that the human body is a complex machine with thousands of complex structures and processes. It is "normal" that in the distribution of human existence, defects or failures will occur in certain processes or structures and cause these "diseased" Since one can never foretell or change a natural occurrence (like curing a hurricane as a good example), one can only treat the symptoms or cure outside stimuli that cause such diseases to occur abnormally. That is why we will never cure MS or Alzhiemers unless we discover that the cause as a man-made one and we kill that. However if it is a normal defect that occurs in a distribution of life, we will just have to deal with these fat tails.
Well exactly, it is not a perfect world. But, there are so many amazing medical advancements today that its hard to believe. I mean they are talking about cloning things and technology that is out of this world but they can't figure out something like this? Wish they could though.
