High calcium levels linked to fatal prostate cancer
This article was originally posted in Cancer on September 05, 2008.
Men with high blood levels of calcium have a significantly increased risk of developing fatal prostate cancer, new research suggests.
The study of nearly three thousand men revealed that those with the highest levels of calcium in their blood were 2.68 times more likely to develop fatal prostate cancer than men with the lowest levels of calcium. The association remained even after the researchers took into consideration major risk factors for prostate cancer – age, weight, race, and family history. Blood calcium levels did not have a predictive effect upon non-fatal prostate cancers.
The data on blood calcium levels was determined an average of 9.9 years before the diagnosis of prostate cancer was made, thus suggesting that a simple blood test may identify men that are at high risk of developing the disease.
At present it is unclear whether it is calcium itself or parathyroid hormone, which regulates blood calcium levels, that plays a role in the pathology of the disease.

Here is my comment:
Isn’t it interesting that after a multi-year mineral imbalance we end up in the cancer ward? To balance calcium we need to supplement with transdermal magnesium. To balance thyroid and parathyroid we need to supplement with iodine, which is found in kelp and other sea weed. Our Twilight Topically Everything contains magnesium and trace minerals from alfalfa and kelp. Transderma Magnesium Gel also contains magnesium and is thickened with sea weed.

We think of disease literally as the opposite of ease. Dis-ease is almost always the consequence of cellular terrain problems. There is only one illness: cellular dysfunction. And only two causes: presence of toxins and absence of nutrients.
The main thing to remember is to not let disease return. When it does, it will always come back more powerful and potent than before. I recommend you read the Nutrition Principles on our website.
Many people call to talk to me about their health problems. When I ask them what they’ve already tried to solve the problem, they often can not answer, because either they’ve changed nothing or they weren’t sure what they could have changed.
If you continue doing what you’ve always done, you will continue getting more of what you’ve already got. The same input will always yield the same output, especially in regard to your health.

Live fresh-frozen algae is a great source of natural nutrients. The Vision E3 BlueGreen Algae is fresh water live algae that can fit easily into your diet while targeting your hidden or no-so-hidden nutritional deficiencies while cleansing and nourishing your body and your mind. Many people after they start taking this product feel explosive amounts of energy. People who used to drop off near the end of their day report back stating they’ve never felt so alive. The increased mental facility and concentration skills, something we all could use, is caused by the increased supply of the neuro-peptides that are richly present in this live superfood.
The wonderful thing about algae is that it is so primitive. Its nutrients can keep you alive for months, youthful and vibrant too when you supplement it. Algae helps shape your appetite within normal range, helping to keep sugar cravings low. Some research has also shown algae to stabilize mood swings, sharpen and focus your eyesight, promote healthy cholesterol, enhance metabolic functions, purify the blood and encourage complete and thorough digestion. This is only off the top of my head, so be sure to check our website for more algae information!
In addition to this, research has shown that what your body assimilates and absorbs is more important than the specific foods you eat. In the end, it doesn’t matter how many nutrients, vitamins and minerals are in the foods you eat, but how much of them your body actually absorbs. Since algae are at the bottom of the food chain, they provide an extremely simple yet extremely essential form of nutrition. The soft cell walls of AFA algae are very easily digested by the body, but also assimilated and absorbed. Your required vital nutrients will be present for you to reach your full potential.

Nano minerals, or Ormus as this substance is also called, are one of the coolest, most powerful ingredients we offer at the Life Enthusiast Co-op. Also known as manna or white gold, these trace minerals have incredibly powerful health benefits that can change the way it feels to be inside your body. I need to mention David Hudson, a pioneer of the ormus movement, who spent a great deal of time and money investigating these compounds, spawning a whole movement and community that is growing bigger every year. This year there was even a conference about it!
Ormus minerals are essentially sub-atomic minerals in a class unto themselves. Certain elements from the trans-platinum group of elements can exist both as a metal, and in a state that is non-metallic and closer to crystalline or ceramic. In this form, elements like gold, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, rhodium and palladium are not detectable by standard chemical analysis, are inert and superconductive at room temperature.
Carbon is the example I give to everyone I explain this new concept to. Carbon in pure form can exist as either charcoal or diamonds – the difference being its physical structure. In each of these forms carbon looks and behaves very differently. Gold can also exist in a form other than its gold-colored metallic form. It can also exist in a crystalline form, looking like clear glass. If you saw gold in this form you probably would not differentiate it from beach sand.
Nano or ormus minerals are normally extracted from sea water or volcanic spring water. In this form they appear to standard chemical analysis to be calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate. Yet if you perform a few alchemical steps, these minerals will yield precious metals. The Ormus material is present in corals, oyster shells and pearls. People attribute the healthy properties of coral calcium to the mineral. We have a different theory that you just might be able to guess by now. Ormus conducts life force. When you have more ormus, your cellular terrain is in better shape. When Kevin Trudeau and Robert Barefoot promoted coral calcium they did not know anything about nano minerals. They thought it was the alkalizing power of calcium, but I think it it is the ormus minerals that give it the healing power.

Summer time is approaching, and for many people this means breaking out the sun block. I was just speaking to a friend who told me that their 18 year old son just got back from the beach bright red like a lobster, despite having used the sun tan lotion. I find it odd that humans have been in the sun for thousands of years, yet it is only now that we are having trouble.
Part of this may have to do with the ozone layer thinning, though I still remain skeptical that the UV rays coming through our atmosphere are that much more potent than they were 400 years ago. All you have to do is climb up into the mountains, and get the effect.
I believe that suntan lotions cause more problems than they prevent. Complicated skin problems can arise and in many cases people wind up with cancer because of it rather than in spite of it. The issue here is this: in the presence of sunlight we create vitamin D, the best protector against cancer, in the skin. Blocking sunlight is stopping the vitamin D production, yet it is adding all kinds of unpronounceable ingredients, some of which are petroleum based.
So what can we do to help ourselves stay in the sun throughout the summer? Stay tuned for more!

At its most basic level, meditation is the clearing of the mind of all thoughts entirely. It can be difficult at first to sustain a quiet mind. A good way to do this is to sit in a comfortable position on a couch or sofa and pick an object to focus your attention on. Many recommend an apple as a good starting point. The idea is to clear the mind of any awareness of anything other than the apple. This sounds very simple but it takes some practice. As soon as your mind wanders to other thoughts (which will happen quick at first), you immediately pull your mind back to the thought of the apple. Your ability to focus so single-mindedly will improve with time. It requires the same type of commitment to developing a muscle through exercise. In fact, your brain is just another organ, like a muscle. It needs exercise like everything else. See how long you can sustain this single-minded state. Five minutes is a reasonable goal for early on, but the real benefits of meditation come with at least half an hour every day.

Here is a question I want to pose: what is the difference to you between thin, dew-like water compared to what you get out of the tap or the commercial water bottle?
The answer? Cellular Hydration. Your body is able to absorb it much faster and more efficiently. When you drink water, your body has to de-structure it in order to absorb it and this takes a great deal of energy.
It’s not that the body can’t use tap water per se, but the water that comes out of the tap has to be restructured before it can be of much use to the body. This restructuring is what allows your body to use the water on the cellular level.
In order to get water inside a cell, it needs to come into the cell one molecule at a time through the aquaporin channel. If the water is not structured properly, meaning it is stuck together in large globs, the body simply won’t be able to get it to where it needs to go, into the cells to hydrate them, to deliver nutrients in and toxins out.

Hydrogen Peroxide
Don’t spend a lot of money on teeth whiteners. Brush your teeth with it and they will turn white in a few weeks.
I found hydrogen peroxide is good for more than just health. For four years I have used it almost exclusively in both my vegetable and flower gardens. I liked it because it is non petrochemical.
I found an easy, inexpensive, quick and, convenient way to use it. I came to the conclusion that if it could be sprayed into my throat it would go directly to my lungs and instantaneously into my bloodstream. Then into the muscles. At that time I was 69 years old. To get out of bed I would have to lay on my stomach. I used a nasal pump. As I inhaled I would squeeze the pump one time. I did this four times, four times a day. For about a month. From then on I spray my throat as many times as I could in 1 deep inhale. I inhale two times, three times a day. I used three percent right out of the bottle from the drugstore. I don’t have any that mixing or measuring to do.
I have found that I no longer have aching muscles (my muscles are now very flexible), bursitis, sore gums, sore throat is relieved quickly, and many other things that I haven’t thought of are gone. I am 76 years old and people judge me to be 60 to 65. Since I’ve been using peroxide I haven’t been puffing for air as I work. I have many friends who experienced great things from taking peroxide this way. Thank you for your time.

One of my jobs as a health food nut is to advise people how to get off foods that hurt their bodies. It’s easy to come up with the definitions for the untouchables:
Nothing fizzy (as is carbonated drinks). Anything sold in an aluminum can. Anything with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Get rid of potatoes. Starch. Cakes and pastries. It may take you three weeks to wean yourself off the carbs and convince your body that it needs to burn fat for energy, but once you make the switch, you will be feeling so much better.
Being overweight is such a vicious cycle. You feel hungry. You eat carbs, mainly empty calories. Your body asked for nutrients, but you gave it empty calories. It does not take long before the body is asking for more. It is asking for nutrients, but usually gets more calorie rich and nutrient poor commercially prepared “food”.
This is how you become overweight. Your body says “feed me”, and you cannot resist that command. The correction that is neededis this: eat only nutrient (not calorie) rich foods. Or else you will end up with metabolic stress.
