Omega-3 supplementation reduces nicotine cravings, helping smokers quit

(NaturalNews) In the largest city of northern Israel, the University of Haifa has shared their concluded research showing that omega-3 supplementation significantly reduces nicotine craving, not to mention the number of cigarettes a person smokes on any given day. The study was conducted by the head of the school of criminology department's addiction program, and the conclusions were published just last month by the the University.

Because of the adverse effects of medications, more and more smokers are turning to supplementation to kill the cravings, and thus kill the habit for good. It's working. Omega-3 is a relatively inexpensive and readily attainable dietary supplement that has virtually zero side effects. Coconut oil, hemp seed oil (yes, it's legal) and flax seed oil are phenomenal sources, but omega-3 can also be found in capsule form.

Dr. Sharon Rabinovitz Shenkar, head of the psychopharmacology laboratory and the criminology department, conducted the study and came to some very interesting conclusions that the natural health community has pondered for years.

The doctor says cigarette smoking reduces the levels of essential fatty acids in the brain, especially that of omega-3. This deficiency damages the structure of nerve cells and "interrupts neurotransmission in areas of the brain involved with feeling pleasure and satisfaction."

Smokers are chemically robbed of true pleasure and satisfaction
Hey, smokers, are you having trouble making big decisions? Are you too critical of yourself, always "kicking yourself" for one reason or another, for not getting enough done, or not helping other people enough? Cigarettes are reducing these essential areas of reward and decision making, making you lose the ability to "pat yourself on the back" for good work or effort, and even making small decisions seem like huge, anxious, nerve-racking ones.

These quelled natural chemicals that control good feelings and fight-or-flight situations can cause a relapse of nicotine addiction. In other words, many smokers return to smoking after quitting because something stressful happens or they are confronted with big decisions. Or worse, they do something wonderful or fun and don't even enjoy it.

Plain and simple, omega-3 deficiency makes it harder for the smoker's body to deal with cravings for another smoke. Especially because Big Tobacco has juiced up commercial cigarettes by freebasing the nicotine with ammonia since the late 1960s, and this added to the vapor-ready nicotine "nic-fit" addiction.

Dr. Shenkar went on to explain, "Earlier studies have proven that an imbalance in omega-3 is also related to mental health, depression and the ability to cope with pressure and stress. Pressure and stress, in turn, are associated with the urge to smoke."

When people try to quit cigarettes, they experience a major nutrient deficiency which raises stress and tension levels. Attitudes and emotions can go "through the roof" if those new "non-smokers" don't get the right organic foods and supplements, like omega-3s. Nobody and no organization has studied this until now. When those studied came off the supplement, cravings did NOT return during the first month that followed treatment discontinuation.

Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study
The study took place for one month with regular smokers (not heavy smokers). From the abstract: "Cigarette smoke induces oxidative stress with subsequent polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) peroxidation. Low concentrations of omega-3 PUFAs can affect neurotransmission, resulting in hypofunctioning of the mesocortical systems associated with reward and dependence mechanisms and thus may increase cigarette craving, hampering smoking cessation efforts."

The solution that ends cigarette addiction
If you or a loved one smokes commercial cigarettes now and have the will to quit, there is a natural way. A streaming 60-minute video recommended by the Health Ranger can teach you how to wean yourself

Aloevera The miracle

Aloe Vera is one of the most famous plants in the world. It is considered as a miracle plant because of its amazing healing health benefits. The aloe vera leaf is filled with gel and it is rich in vitamins like B1,B2,B6,B12,A, C and E, Niacin, Folic Acid.The Aloe Vera plant is easy to grow even in cold climates and many people grow it as a house plant.

Aloe vera juice is the easy and natural weight loss solution. It reduces weight by stabilizing the metabolic rate, reducing lipid levels and helping burn fat.

Control Diabetes

Aloe Vera is good for diabetes patients because it helps to regulate the blood sugar levels when consumed regularly. However, consult your doctor before you start consuming the aloe juice.You need to have the dose prescribed by doctor so that it doesn’t interfere with the medicines you are having to curb blood sugar. Aloe vera plant is considered to be a miracle plant because of its too many curative and healing health benefits.

Aloe vera tonic is wonderful for the female reproductive system. It helps to rejuvenate the uterus. It is very beneficial to drink aloe vera juice if you are experiencing painful menstrual cycle.

Use as shaving cream

In-the-know beauty buffs swear by pure aloe as the perfect shaving cream: It’s antibacterial, which is great for nicks; it’s slippery, allowing for a nice close shave; and it moisturizes, too. You can use it on its own, or combine with other nourishing ingredients for a more luxe (but still DIY) product.

As Face wash

Mix 1 Tbsp aloe vera gel with 1 tsp almond milk, and 1 tsp lemon, wash and let sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Since some minerals found in aloe are antibacterial, this face wash is ideal for sensitive skin, breakouts, and rosacea, says Pekar. Need an anti-aging boost? Mix 1 Tbsp aloe with 1 tsp 100% raw organic coconut oil, massage into hands until the contents are warm, then wash and rinse.

Control bad breadth

Come a little closer…no, actually—don’t. When bad breath hits, drink up to 1/4 cup pure aloe vera gel dissolved in a 1/2 cup of water or apple juice, suggests herbalist Letha Hadady, author of Healthy Beauty. Aloe vera contains an anti-inflammatory compound called B-sitosterol that soothes acid indigestion, a common cause of bad breath. But resist the urge to chug; in large doses, aloe vera can work like a laxative.

Wrinkle Repair

Skin loves Vitamins C and E which are present in Aloe, helping to improve skins firmness and keep it hydrated. Combining virgin coconut oil can make a creamier way to supplement nutrients, essential fats and moisture. Aloe Vera gel penetrates skin almost four times faster than water, an

The Major Abdominal Organs Taking Care of Your Liver

The functions of this organ is so vast that it alone, is a testament to the ingenuity of the body.
The Major Abdominal Organs
Taking Care of Your Liver
The liver is the most hard-working organ in the human body. It performs over 500 functions that are vital to life, as well as vital for detoxification. It plays an important role in digestion (breaking nutrients down) and assimilation (building up body tissues). Aside from the role it plays in digestion, it stores red blood cells and important nutrients like iron, copper, B12, vitamins A, D, E and K. It also has the unique ability to regenerate itself. You want to take really good care of this organ!

We are constantly being bombarded with toxins, and this organ is trying to take care of the issue. For example, people do not realize that when they eat large amounts of sugar, the liver has to stop detoxifying and deal with the sugar. Think about this for a minute: when you eat sugar and your liver cannot process the toxins you may be exposed to, what is happening to those toxins? They are not leaving your body. That is something to think about the next time you go for that sugar high.

Fifty percent of people over the age of 50 have what is termed a “fatty liver.” It literally means too much fat has accumulated in the liver. Contributors to fatty liver are triglycerides (carbohydrates and sugar), alcohol, toxic chemicals, and adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals. Many people don’t realize that when they take large amounts of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine, they are taxing their liver.

The liver is responsible for balancing many processes in our body. All of our hormones are converted in the liver. Women who struggle with irregular cycles find improvements when they cleanse their liver. As the detoxifier, it has to distinguish between what is toxic and needs eliminated from the body or what is beneficial and needs to be kept. In this capacity, it filters everything: toxins, chemicals, organisms (parasites, fungus, bacteria, etc.), pharmaceuticals, and many more.

The functions of this organ is so vast that it alone, is a testament to the ingenuity of the body. The liver clears the body of poisonous substances, converts excess glucose into glycogen for future, stores iron and processes hemoglobin for the use of this iron, produces bile which carries some waste away, helps to regulate blood clotting, produces certain blood plasma proteins, produces some immune factors to get rid of bacteria thereby resisting infection - and much more! Malfunction of the liver can translate to serious conditions that may be life threatening.

Did you know that your liver is the only organ in your body cabable of regeneration? It only needs 4 months to regain its initial weight. A liver in good health works as effeciently at 80 years of age as it did at the age of 20. But when the liver is taxed—becomes overworked and overloaded—it can’t process toxins and fat in an efficient way.

Dr. Rohit Satoskar, of the MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute says, “The liver is a vital organ and not something you can live without. It’s an organ you could easily trash if you don’t take good care of it, and once you trash it, it’s gone.” 

As the second-largest organ in your body—the skin is the largest—It's about the size of a football and sits under your lower ribcage on the right side. Yep! Take a football and hold it close to your chest. That’s about how large your liver is. Amazing, huh? It filters chemicals like drugs and alcohol from the blood; regulates your hormones and blood sugar levels; stores energy from the nutrients you take in; and makes blood proteins, bile, and several enzymes that the body needs.  

“There’s nothing tricky about keeping your liver in good shape. It’s all about a healthy lifestyle.”, says Ray Chung, MD, of the Liver Center at Massachusetts General Hospital.

“Taking care of your liver is far more about avoiding what’s bad than it is about eating or drinking things that are particularly nourishing to the liver,” he says. 

For sure you’ve taken OTCs like Tylenol (nothing more than a trade name for acetaminophen), right? Well, do you know why they give a warning about not taking too much of this poisen? It’s because it really is toxic to the liver if too much is taken over time or at once. It is a synthetic, nonopiate, centrally acting analgesic derived from p-aminophenol. Guess what p-aminophenol is? It is a synthetic dye used in hair coloring–produced from coal tar. And, you may be taking more acetaminophen than you realize; it's found in hundreds of drugs like cold medicines and prescription pain medicines. Certain combinations of drugs can be toxic to the liver; so can taking some medicines while drinking alcohol. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what medicines shouldn’t be combined with each other or alcohol. And always follow dosage information.

Wash your hands

Now, let’s talk about something that you probably think is remotely related. It’s the importance of washing your hands. Good grief, is that so hard to do? After a bowel movement, for example, that paper you use to clean up with is thinner than a politician's election promise (LOL!). Do you really think the tissue keeps you hands squeaky clean? To put it another way, do you think it keeps someone else's hands clean enough for you?  No?  Then wash your hands with soap and very warm water!  I read once that over half of all physicians don't wash their mitts after using the toilet. I hope this is not true. My supposition is that it is, however. When heads of state, billionaires, or doctors use the toilet, they are about as likely as you to do what you do. Think about that in your spare time today. And wash. 

Filters

When we think of a filter, we know that they have to be cleaned. After you finish vacuuming you clean the machine’s filter; after you dry your clothes you clean the lint from the dryer’s filter, and the liver is no different. A toxic liver can lead to inflammatory diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, and autoimmune diseases. Without a healthy liver, you may suffer from hormonal imbalances that can cause headaches, mood swings, and depression. It's time to nurture this amazing organ!

Because water flushes toxins and waste products from your body, you feel more energized and alert when your body is fully hydrated (which most of us usually aren't!). Usually eight to 10 8-ounce glasses will do the trick. 

Foods that support healthy liver function are: crucifer vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli), artichoke, asparagus, chard, cilantro, mustard greens, beets, parsley, kale, celery, watercress, collards, dandelion greens, mustard greens, lemon, limes, oranges, garlic, onions, eggs, daikon, radish, nutritional yeast flakes, dandelion root tea, and whey. 

Here are liver cleansers you should be including in your meals throughout the week:

1. Garlic
Just a small amount of this pungent white bulb has the ability to activate liver enzymes that help your body flush out toxins. Garlic also holds high amounts of allicin and selenium, two natural compounds that aid in liver cleansing.

2. Herbs
Ginger—Gingerol antioxidants possess anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties. Ginger supports detoxification by nourishing your liver, promoting circulation, unclogging blocked arteries, and lowering blood cholesterol by as much as 30 percent.
Turmeric—The curcumin compounds in turmeric have been shown to heal your liver, aiding in detoxification and strengthening your whole body.

3. Beets and Carrots
Both are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene; eating beets and carrots can help stimulate and improve overall liver function.

4. Leafy Green Vegetables
One of our most powerful allies in cleansing the liver, leafy greens can be eaten raw, cooked, or juiced. Extremely high in plant chlorophylls, greens suck up environmental toxins from the blood stream. With their distinct ability to neutralize heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides, these cleansing foods offer a powerful protective mechanism for the liver.

Try incorporating leafy greens such as bitter gourd, arugula, dandelion greens, spinach, mustard greens, and chicory into your diet. This will help increase the creation and flow of bile, the substance that removes waste from the organs and blood.

5. Avocados
This nutrient-dense super-food helps the body produce glutathione, a compound that is necessary for the liver to cleanse harmful toxins.

6. Apples
High in pectin, apples hold the chemical constituents necessary for the body to cleanse and release toxins from the digestive tract. This, in turn, makes it easier for the liver to handle the toxic load during the cleansing process.

7. Olive Oil
Cold-pressed organic oils such as olive, hemp and flax-seed are great for the liver, when used in moderation. They help the body by providing a lipid base that can suck up harmful toxins in the body. In this way, it takes some of the burden off the liver in terms of the toxic overload many of us suffer from.

8. Alternative Grains
It’s not only that you need alternative grains like quinoa, millet, and buckwheat in your diet, it’s that if you’ve got wheat, flour, or other whole grains in your diet, it’s time to make changes. Your liver is your body’s filter for toxins, and grains that contain gluten are full of them. A study last year found that persons who experienced gluten sensitivities also had abnormal liver enzyme test results, and that’s just one of many.

9. Cruciferous Vegetables
Eating broccoli and cauliflower will increase the amount of glucosinolate in your system, adding to enzyme production in the liver. These natural enzymes help flush out carcinogens, and other toxins, out of our body which may significantly lower risks associated with cancer.

10. Lemons & Limes
These citrus fruits contain very high amounts of vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water. Drinking freshly-squeezed lemon or lime juice in the morning helps stimulate the liver.

11. Walnuts
Holding high amounts of the amino acid arginine, walnuts aid the liver in detoxifying ammonia. Walnuts are also high in glutathione and omega-3 fatty acids, which support normal liver cleansing actions. Make sure you chew the nuts well (until they are liquefied) before swallowing.

12. Cabbage
Much like broccoli and cauliflower, eating cabbage helps stimulate the activation of two crucial liver detoxifying enzymes that help flush out toxins. Try eating more kimchi, coleslaw, cabbage soup and sauerkraut.

It is your liver health that is responsible for processing virtually everything you consume -- protein, fat or carbohydrate -- and turning it into glucose that is used as fuel. But, since everything you consume passes through your liver it means your liver is subjected to an array of toxins -- pesticides, hormones, food additives, alcohol, medications, microorganisms, and more -- on a regular basis.

Your liver health will either convert these harmful toxins into less harmful ones or ensure they’re eliminated from your body entirely. However, inevitably some toxins get left behind, hiding in certain liver cells or creating free radicals that can damage your liver & your overall health. This is why it’s important to support your liver health in every way you can.

The foods you eat, the medications you take, the drinks you consume … all of these take a toll on your liver health, but you can help keep your liver in top working order by following the simple steps below.

Some Tips to Protect Your Liver Health

1. Eat organic foods as much as possible

Your diet represents one of the biggest potential burdens on your liver, as many foods are contaminated with pesticides, growth hormones and chemical additives.

By eating organic you are opting for the purest foods possible, which means you’re saving your liver from a slew of toxins. By definition, organic foods must be free from genetically modified organisms, synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones and other drugs.

2. Limit fructose, fried foods and processed foods containing trans fats or hydrogenated oils

Two more dietary burdens to your liver are hidden in many processed foods on your supermarket shelves: trans fats and fructose. Trans fats are common in fried foods like French fries and doughnuts and are also found in cookies, crackers and many other processed foods. If the ingredient list contains “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oil, it will contain some amount of trans fat. Fructose is also found in numerous processed foods as well as in soda and fruit juice.

According to one study in the journal Hepatology, a diet high in fructose and trans fats leads to obesity and fatty liver.

3. Exercise

Exercise is one straightforward way to lower your risk of fatty liver health disease, not only by helping you to maintain a healthy body weight (obesity increases your risk of fatty liver disease) but also by leading to liver health improvements independent of weight loss.

One study published in Hepatology even found that staying active for at least 150 minutes a week improved liver enzymes and other indices of liver health function.

4. Avoid smoking

Smoking may harm your liver’s ability to effectively process and remove toxins from your body. It can also make alcohol-induced liver health disease worse.

5. Drink lots of water. Detoxify your liver and flush toxins out by drinking at least 2 quarts of water every day. Drinking lots of water will keep you hydrated, which naturally encourages cell regeneration. It will also allow the liver to filter out more toxins and residue, letting it work faster and increasing your energy level. 

Avoid foods that will do damage to your liver. Foods that are processed and contain lots of preservatives, fats and cholesterol can cause the liver to become congested and clogged with fat residue. Clean out your liver by avoiding processed or fatty foods to allow the liver to unblock itself and regenerate cells.

6. De-stress your life. Stressful situations release hormones and endorphins in the bloodstream, which, in turn, deposit toxins in the liver and slow it down. Eliminate stress in any areas of your life that you can. Consider anti-stress activities like Qigong and Tai Chi.

supplement benefits almost everyone

Less than 100 years ago, it wasn't necessary for most Westerners to take nutrient supplements. Our soil was rich in essential minerals, our diets were packed with organic and home-grown food, and our environment contained far fewer health-destroying toxins.

Fast forward to the 21st century, however, and much has changed. Due to ongoing soil erosion, widespread pollution and much more, it is now difficult for many of us to obtain all of our essential nutrients from regular foods alone. Deficiencies in several important vitamins and minerals -- deficiencies that were once unheard of -- are now a pandemic in the Western world.

This article contains a list of four supplements which, if taken daily, can help correct many of the nutrient deficiencies we face today. Of course, other supplements might be required depending on your personal needs.

A nutrient-rich superfood
Perhaps the most important supplement we can take is a dedicated whole food supplement that contains a robust and well-rounded nutrient profile. Though opinions differ on which whole food is best for this purpose, you can't go wrong with established superfoods such as Moringa oleifera, chlorella, spirulina, wheatgrass or barley grass. Taking one or more of these foods in concentrated supplement form daily is an excellent natural alternative to commercial multivitamin tablets, which are usually comprised of synthetic ingredients that can inhibit absorption rates.

Magnesium
According to the American Chiropractic Association, between 68 and 80 percent of the United States population is estimated to be deficient in magnesium, an essential macromineral responsible for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.(1) Insufficient magnesium intake can result in chronic fatigue, muscle cramps, muscle weakness and, in the most serious instances, significant personality changes and heart failure.

While a wide variety of magnesium supplements are on the market today, most of them tend to work better as laxatives than actual sources of dietary magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is one of the best choices, since it is highly bioavailable and doesn't contribute to loose stools.(2) For maximum benefits, take between 400 and 1,000 milligrams of it per day.(3)

Iodine
Like magnesium, iodine is another essential mineral in which most of us are unknowingly deficient. In fact, unless you happen to live near the ocean and consume large amounts of fresh seafood, you're probably seriously lacking in iodine. Iodine deficiencies can significantly reduce our thyroid hormone levels, causing us to retain water, gain weight, develop heart failure and more.(4)

Though many people experience good results with liquid iodine supplements such as Lugol's iodine or nascent iodine, the most natural option is a seaweed supplement such as kelp or bladderwrack. Aim for between 500 and 1,000 micrograms of iodine per day.(5)

EPA and DHA
It is a well-known fact that the average Westerner consumes far more omega-6 fatty acids, which are commonly found in processed vegetable oils, than omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, our average omega-6 and omega-3 ratio is currently estimated to be 15:1 -- far greater than the optimum 4:1. This imbalance promotes the pathogenesis of many serious diseases, including cancer and heart disease.(6)

To help correct this imbalance, it's important that we both reduce our intake of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids and increase our intake of omega-3 fatty acids. The best way to achieve the latter is to supplement our diet with good sources of the two preformed (and thus more potent) kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, namely eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

As most people are aware, high-quality fish oil is the king of EPA and DHA. For best results, aim for at least 1,000 milligrams of fish oil-derived EPA and DHA per day.

Health Begins in the Kidney

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys detoxify by filtering the blood, removing excess water and water soluble toxins which are then passed out in the urine. Kidneys maintain electrolyte balance by regulating the amount of sodium, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, and hydrogen substances in our body. It is important to drink enough water so that impurities are sufficiently passed out. Dark colour and smelly urine may be indicated that a person is not drinking enough water.

Having unhealthy diet and lifestyle, medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol increase the risk of having kidney disease. The followings are the common kidney diseases:
• kidney stones may cause extreme pain in the back or at the side of the body. Other symptoms may include fever and chills, vomit and the production of bloody, smelly and cloudy urine.
• Chronic kidney disease (CkD) refers to gradual loss of kidney function which may lead to permanent kidney failure and increase the risk of having stroke or heart attack. Most people do not have any severe symptoms until their kidney disease is advanced.
The symptoms may include hands or feet swelling, fatigue, itchy or numb skin, muscle cramps and poor appetite, nausea and vomiting.
• Pyelonephritis is kidney infection usually caused by bacteria that have traveled to the kidney from the bladder. The symptoms may include lower side and mid-back pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, shivering and painful urination.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY KIDNEYS
• Drink at least eight glasses a day. Healthy kidneys need lots of water to “cleanse” them of impurities and of metabolic wastes.
• Reduce salty foods such as canned foods, fast foods and added sauces which increase kidney’s burden in excretion.
• Reduce alcohol intake as it can reduce the kidneys’ function.
• Don’t control your urge to urinate.
• Having a balanced diet is vital for kidney health.
Control medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure which are leading
causes of kidney disease.

10 Common Habits That Seriously Damage Your Kidneys

Our kidneys are super important for our health. They filter our blood, produce hormones, absorb minerals, produce urine, eliminate toxins, and neutralize acids. So as one of the most important organs in your body, your kidneys deserve some love.

Damage or steady decline of your kidneys can often go unnoticed for years as your kidneys can still do their job with as little as 20% of their capacity. Therefore kidney diseases are often referred to as “The Silent Diseases”. That’s why it is so important to take care of them before it is too late.

Here’s a list of 10 common habits that put a lot of pressure on your kidneys and can cause serious damage over time.

1.    Not Drinking Enough Water

Your kidney’s most important function is to filter blood and eliminate toxins and waste materials. When you don’t drink enough plain water during the day toxins and waste material start to accumulate and can cause severe damage to your body.

2.    Too Much Salt In Your Diet

Your body needs sodium or salt to work properly. Most people however consume too much salt which may raise blood pressure and put a lot of stress on the kidneys. As a good rule of thumb, no more than 5 grams of salt should be eaten on a daily basis.

3.    Frequently Delaying The Call Of Nature

Many of us ignore the urge to go because they are too busy or want to avoid public bathrooms. Retaining urine on a regular basis increases urine pressure and can lead to kidney failure, kidney stones, and incontinence. So listen to your body when nature calls.

4.    Kick The Sugar Habit

Scientific studies show that people who consume 2 or more sugary drinks a day are more likely to have protein in their urine. Having protein in your urine is an early sign your kidneys are not doing their job as they should.

5.    Vitamin And Mineral Deficiencies

Eating a clean, whole food diet full of fresh vegetables and fruits is important for your overall health and a good kidney function. Many deficiencies can increase the risk of kidney stones or kidney failure. Vitamin B6 and magnesium, for instance, are super important to reduce the risk of kidney stones.

An estimated 70 to 80 percent of Americans isn’t getting enough magnesium, so there may be a good chance that you are one of them. Click here to learn more about magnesium deficiencies.

6.    Too Much Animal Protein

Over consumption of protein, especially red meat, increases the metabolic load on your kidneys. So more protein in your diet means your kidneys have to work harder and this can lead to kidney damage or dysfunction over time.

7.    Sleep Deprivation

We have all heard how important it is to get a good night’s rest. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to many diseases and kidney diseases are also on the list. During the night your body repairs damaged kidney tissue, so give your body the time to heal and repair itself.

8.    Coffee Habit

Just as salt, caffeine can raise blood pressure and put extra stress on your kidneys. Over time excessive consumption of coffee can cause damage to your kidneys.

9.    Painkiller Abuse

Way too many people take painkillers for their small aches and pains, while there are many all-natural, safe remedies available. Excessive use or painkiller abuse can lead to severe damage of liver and kidneys.

10.  Alcohol Consumption

Although there is nothing wrong with enjoying a glass of wine or having a beer once in a while, most of us don’t stop after just one drink. Alcohol is actually a legal toxin that puts a lot of stress on our kidneys and liver.

To stay healthy and avoid kidney issues it is important to eat lots of fresh, whole foods and if you keep the above information in mind and avoid these common habits as much as possible, your kidneys will not be under constant stress and your body will thank you for that.

Medical device actually spreads cancer in women, FDA warns

A medical procedure used on women preparing to undergo surgery for uterine fibroids may actually spread cancer throughout the body, potentially turning easily treated cancers into life-threatening forms, the FDA has warned.

The procedure, performed by a device known as a power morcellator, consists of pulverizing uterine fibroids prior to surgery, in order to allow their removal with a much smaller incision. If there is any cancer in the uterus, however, power morcellation also shatters the tumors, spreading cancerous tissue through the abdomen and potentially inducing metastasis. Because it is impossible to determine if a women has uterine cancer before performing the surgery, there is no way to prevent this risk.

"There is no reliable way to determine if a uterine fibroid is cancerous prior to removal," said Dr. William Maisel, deputy director for science and chief scientist of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "Patients should know that the FDA is discouraging the use of laparoscopic power morcellation for hysterectomy or myomectomy, and they should discuss the risks and benefits of the available treatment options with their health care professionals."

According to the FDA, two dozen women had their uterine cancers worsened by power morcellation in the last year alone.

"We believe that in the vast majority of women, the procedure should not be performed," Maisel said.

One in 350 had their cancer worsened
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the smooth muscle tissue of the uterine wall that most women develop at some point in their lives, typically without symptoms. In some cases, however, the condition can cause problems severe enough to warrant surgery.

Traditional treatments for uterine fibroids include a full surgical hysterectomy or myomectomy, laparoscopic ("keyhole") hysterectomy or myomectomy, and non-surgical interventions. In recent years, power morcellation became a popular pre-treatment to laparoscopy.

Concerns began to arise about the procedure last year, however, after Amy Reed, a doctor married to a surgeon, underwent power morcellation and developed stage 4 cancer as a result. Although Reed was fortunate enough to recover, her husband Hooman Noorchashm has since led a campaign to get the procedure banned. In April, a major manufacturer of the devices pulled them from the market, leading to a significant drop in the number of procedures performed. Many hospitals (including the one that performed Reed's surgery) have stopped using the devices.

According to Maisel, approximately 50,000 women per year might have used power morcellation prior to April 2014. One in 350 of those would have experienced a spread in uterine cancer as a result.

Because morcellated tissue is analyzed immediately following the procedure, the FDA believes that all cases of cancer were identified, Maisel said. Women who underwent power morcellation but did not hear from their doctors should have no need to fear.

Discouraged, but not banned
The FDA announcement stopped short of an outright ban on the procedure, instead advising strongly against it and urging both women and their doctors to discuss all available treatment options, including the risks and benefits of each. The agency has also called on manufacturers of power morcellators to revise the product labels, and is considering the implementation of a black box warning.

"Input from clinical and scientific experts will help provide valuable information and perspectives to clarify the proper clinical role for these devices," Maisel said.

Part of the reason the FDA did not ban the devices, Maisel said, is that they might still be useful in younger women with a low risk of uterine cancer, in order to help them lower the risk of uterine surgery resulting in infertility.

Noorchashm, in contrast, still insists that the devices should be banned.

India’s Direct Selling Industry Has Potential To Engage 18 Million Sellers By 2025: Report

The report indicated that with the right policy stimulus, this industry might well reach its potential of Rs. 64,500 crores, a nine-fold increase in twelve years.

Paswan released this report along with Keshav Desiraju, Secretary Consumer Affairs, Sidharth Birla – President of FICCI, Kurush Grant ED of ITC, as well as other industry representatives.

The FICCI conference was attended by a number of India and global industry dignitaries and other stakeholders.

Direct selling is a global industry, operating in over 100 countries with a market size of USD $167 billion. It refers to the selling of goods and services to the consumers away from a fixed retail outlet, generally in their homes, workplace etc., through explanation and demonstration of the product by direct sellers. USA, Japan and China are key markets for the industry.

In India the market is estimated to be around Rs. 7,200 crores, which is a far smaller percentage of the size of the economy, when compared to other countries. The FICCI-KPMG white paper launched highlights the challenges faced by the industry in India, and suggests a roadmap for enabling the industry going forward.

At the release, the Union Minister said, “I acknowledge the contribution of Direct Selling industry towards offering greater choices to the consumers. My Ministry appreciates the need of creating a regulatory framework for the direct selling and e-commerce sectors. We have recently formed an Inter-ministerial committee to deliberate on the need and framework of regulations for the Direct Selling industry. We feel it is important to distinguish between the genuine and fraudulent players, and any regulation that is proposed should keep in mind the interest of consumers as the first priority.”

Secretary, Desiraju further said, “We are hopeful that the proposed changes to the Consumer Protection Act will strengthen consumer welfare. There is a need to differentiate direct selling from other fraudulent schemes masquerading in the market as direct selling. With internal trade falling under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs as per the allocation of business the Ministry seeks to play an important role in regulating activities which impact on consumers. The industry needs to have a regulator to look at its issues more closely and resolve them.”

According to the report, direct selling is one of the fastest growing non-store retail formats in India, recording double digit growth of more than 20% over the past five years. In the year 2012-13 it has been estimated to contribute taxes of Rs. 1,000 crore to the exchequer.

Besides, the industry also has a significant impact on socio-economic parameters because of its nature. In less than two decades, since it took-off in India, it has provided self-employment opportunities to more than 50 lac people in India as direct sellers, the report stated.

Nearly 60%of these direct sellers are women, thus empowering them with additional income and transferable skills. The industry also generates direct employment through manufacturers and other service providers involved throughout the value chain of the industry. The industry has led to technology percolation and enhancement of many SMEs by association with international companies. Also, many direct selling companies have been in the forefront by actively contributing towards social activities, it said.

"Going forward, the industry has the potential to reach a size of INR 64,500 crores by 2025 driven by growth in the consumer markets and increase in the penetration of direct selling to globally comparable levels. This will have a cascading effect on the socio-economic parameters associated with the industry. There will be commensurate capital investments in manufacturing and in technology acquisition," said the report.

The report also highlighted the need to bring regulatory certainty for the industry, which is mistakenly coupled with fraudulent money circulation schemes because of a lack of clarity in existing legislations.

The report also laid out a roadmap for mitigating the regulatory challenge for the industry by recommending an immediate amendment in the governing legislation, followed by a clear definition and categorization as “wholesale cash and carry trade” to smoothen FDI inflow, and an independent legislation and nodal ministry for the industry thereafter.

Sidharth Birla, President, FICCI commented on the occasion saying, “The industry holds large potential not only for the economic, but also social development of India. With growth in the industry, it is projected to employ nearly 1.8 crore direct sellers, with almost 1.1 crore of them as women. The industry is also expected to contribute a tax of INR 9,000 crore to the exchequer. Hence, it is important that the growing economy like India should encourage rightful emerging businesses by creating a favorable policy environment.”

Kurush Grant, Chairman FICCI FMCG Committee said, “Direct Selling to consumers has been one of the oldest methods of distribution for FMCG and other consumer goods in India. Encouraging this business model would promote employment in India at the economic level where employment is most needed.  Since most of the products sold through this channel are locally produced, this is also in tandem with the 'Make in India' objective of the Government.  I recognize that there have been certain gaps which have restricted this channel to reach its true potential. I am happy that the Ministry of Consumer Affairs has acknowledged these gaps and would work towards bridging the same."

Rajat Wahi, Partner, KPMG, mentioned in his address at the conference: “The direct selling industry is unique in the number of people it engages with directly. No other industry is able to touch so many lives, or is as close to its customers as direct selling. The benefits of the industry have been recognized globally, and it holds large potential in India as well. There is a need to create an enabling environment for the industry to thrive.”

Natural Ways To Fight Ebola

Vitamin C : Absorbent C
Research from the late Dr Robert Cathcart, MD, who had extensive experience treating deadly infections with high dose vitamin C, asserted that the Ebola virus could be “neutralized by massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously.”

According to Cathcart, symptoms produced by the virus are nearly identical to acute scurvy, a disease that produces bleeding all over the body when levels of vitamin C become depleted.

“All of these diseases ultimately kill mostly by free radicals so it does not make any difference as to which disease it is…

Since these species (Man, higher monkeys, Guinea pigs and some bats) do not make vitamin C, it is easier for these diseases, by making massive amounts of free radicals which destroy vitamin C, to induce acute systemic scurvy and its resulting high fever, hemorrhaging, etc”
Coupled with its antiviral properties, regular use of vitamin C can boost the immune system to better prepare the body for harmful pathogens.

Herbs to treat inflammation: The most powerful natural medicines that really work

Aloe
Aloe not only reduces inflammation but also eases pain and promotes skin repair and healing. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the anti-inflammatory effects of aloe gel are superior to 1 percent hydrocortisone cream.


Fields of greens : cayenne paper
Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin. Exposure to capsaicin causes body tissues to release substance P, which your body usually releases immediately after tissue damage. Capsaicin does not actually damage tissue -- this chemical only tricks your body into acting as if damage had occurred.

Repeated exposure of one part of your body to capsaicin will deplete that area of its substance P, which increases tolerance to capsaicin in people who regularly eat hot peppers.

Reducing substance P in one area of your body also decreases your sense of pain in that part. Capsaicin cream products take advantage of this effect to reduce arthritis pain in joints and other sources of chronic pain. Best of all, the capsaicin in cayenne pepper can help protect your stomach (3) from ulcers associated with NSAID use.



Pomestin

Pomestin contain flavonols, a type of antioxidant, which seem especially helpful in reducing inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. In that condition, inflammation contributes to the destruction of cartilage. Pomestim seems to block the production of an enzyme associated with cartilage destruction.

The next time you struggle with inflammation or the medical conditions caused by inflammation, try using an herbal remedy before resorting to dangerous drugs and chemicals. Herbs are highly effective in reducing inflammation and carry relatively low risks for complications.

Garlic ‘Could Beat Leading Big Pharma Drugs’ A Natural Hypertension Remedy - Without Side Effects

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is known as “the silent killer”, as it often goes unnoticed until it is too late. It is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which frequently culminates in a sudden event such as a heart attack or stroke. While drugs for hypertension such as beta-blockers can cause side effects, including fatigue, blurred vision, or difficulty breathing, a groundbreaking new study has fortunately revealed that garlic is as effective as the “blockbuster” beta-blocker atenolol.

For the study, researchers at the King Khalid University of Saudi Arabia gave patients either one of five doses of garlic – 300mg, 600, 900, 1200 or 1500mg – , 1 dose of atenolol, or a placebo every day for 24 weeks. Blood pressure was taken at 0, 12 and 24 weeks. The results showed decreases in blood pressure, in dose and duration dependent manners, in all treatment groups and in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.


However, 1500mg per day of garlic had the strongest effect of all garlic treatment groups, with systolic blood pressure dropping from 145.2mm Hg to 137.6 at 24 weeks, while those on atenolol experienced a decrease from 147.8 to 138.6mm Hg. This is a drop in 7.6mm Hg and 9.2mm Hg respectively. As for diastolic blood pressure, patients on 1500mg of garlic each day had theirs decrease from 91.93 to 86.96mm Hg, a 2.97mm Hg drop, and patients on atenolol saw a decrease from 98.26 to 89.15mm Hg, or a 8.91mm Hg reduction.

The researchers then deemed these results to be comparable to the effects of beta-blockers, but without the nasty side effects.

Garlic has been found to improve cardiovascular health through several mechanisms of action. One mechanism behind garlic’s ability to lower blood pressure is the ability to keep blood vessels appropriately dilated. Raw garlic’s superiority over aged or boiled garlic was demonstrated again in other research where it preserved coronary blood vessel cell function, thereby inhibiting ventricular hypertrophy.

Outlining other health benefits of garlic, a small study has shown that 4mL of aged garlic extract daily reduces the rate of coronary calcification by over half, bringing it down to 7.5% as opposed to 22%. These patients were receiving statin drugs, but were still at high risk for cardiovascular events. In another study, a water-based extract of garlic was shown to significantly lower thromboxane B2, meaning it has an anticoagulant effect. However, boiled garlic had very little anticoagulant activity, so it should be eaten raw if you want to receive this benefit.

This anticoagulant activity is important because inappropriate blood clots often form over atherosclerotic plaques, commonly breaking off and traveling through the body. Eventually, these can become lodged in a blood vessel in the heart or brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Garlic may also be protective against CVD by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are now known to be drivers of atherosclerosis.

The common and overlooked herb garlic effectively supports cardiovascular health; this has been proven countless times in its thousands of years of usage and by many scientific studies.
