Air Conditioning Hazard in Cars

Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter the car. Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the air-conditioning after a couple of minutes.

Here's why: According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car). In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level... People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out. Dispel the deadly stuff before you enter.

New Clues for Cancer

Lack of vitamin D may stop cell communication

Low levels of calcium and vitamin D may keep healthy cells from reproducing, and allow more aggressive cancer cells to take over.

Dr. Cedric F. Garland of the University of California San Diego, believes that cancer starts when cells stop communicating with one another, due in part to low levels of calcium and vitamin D. The silent cells separate from one another, lose their unique identity and stop reproducing healthy cells. These weakened cells must compete to survive against stronger cancer cells. This competition between disconnected weak and strong cells “creates the engine of cancer,” says the doctor, who believes that having healthy vitamin D levels may arrest cancer at the outset. Dr. Garland says that people can easily restore vitamin D to healthy levels and that most individuals can safely take in the range of 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day.

Wheatgrass VS. Cancer?

Wheatgrass is a highly nutritional food that was discovered by Dr. Ann Wigmore. It contains a large variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. She claims that 15 pounds of fresh wheatgrass has equal nutritional value to 350 pounds of fresh vegetables. Dr. Wigmore also reported that wheatgrass along with living foods has been used to eliminate cancerous growths.

The structure of wheatgrass is very similar to human hemogloblin. Hemogloblin is the oxygen carrying part of the red blood cells.

In anemic animals, their blood count returned to normal in 5 days after wheatgrass therapy, according to one study.

FIGHT CANCER With the Right Foods

Eating the right foods can lead to a healthier you, while eating the wrong foods can increase the risk of disease such as cancer. Researchers have found that one out of every three cancer cases is diet related.
Learn to eat the foods that contain antioxidants, which help neutralize damage to your cells, caused by the environment, and avoid foods that contain free radicals such as Trans Fats.
AVOCADOS help block the absorption of certain fats in your intestines. And they contain more potassium than bananas.
BROCCOLI, CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER contains a natural chemical component that helps fight breast cancer. Broccoli sprouts contain natural ingredients that can help prevent colorectal cancer.
CARROTS are known for beta-carotene, which may help prevent cancer of the lung, mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast.
The naturally occurring substance that makes CHILE PEPPERS hot also may help prevent stomach cancer.
Boost your immune cells and help fight cancer with garlic. People who eat raw or cooked garlic may lower their risk of stomach cancer by half, and their risk of colorectal cancer by two thirds.
RED GRAPES contain a substance that may prevent abnormal cell formation.
MUSHROOMS such as shitake can help build your immune system.
RASPBERRIES have properties that may help protect against cancer.
TOMATOES contain lycopene, which attacks molecules suspected of causing cancer.

Dr. Moulas on Building Strong Bones Part I

More and more doctors today are recommending that their patients take calcium to protect them from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, is a condition of accelerated loss of bone, is a major health problem in the United States and is responsible for well over one million fractures a year. More woman die from the complications of these fractures annually than from the combined deaths resulting from cancers of the cervix and breast. Furthermore, the gradual loss of bone may result in disfigurement, wrinkles, decreased mobility and/or calcium deposits in soft tissue (joints, kidney, arteries, etc.) leading to further complications.

Many have assumed that simply increasing dietary calcium or taking a calcium supplement will prevent bone loss. But this is not the case! Bone loss can be caused by many things, including deficiencies of other nutrients besides calcium. Nutrients like magnesium, silica, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and fluoride, to just name a few.
