Vibrant Health With Coenzyme q10

You may not be aware of it, but if it weren’t for coenzyme q10, you would feel as if you had no energy at all. The fact is that this particular biochemical substance is what governs 95% of our metabolic processes, especially heartbeat and liver functions. This substance is actually an antioxidant and is similar to a vitamin, A shortage of it cause serious health problems; medical science has shown numerous links between coenzyme q10 deficiency and various diseases, including some forms of cancer.How It Can Help YouCoenzyme q10 supplements can be used to treat a variety of disorders, including:• mitochondrial disease• metabolic disorders• migrainesMitochondrial disorders are diseases that affect the body at the cellular level. The mitochondria are miniature organelles inside of living cells that serve as “batteries,” providing the cells with the energy to carry out their biological functions.Metabolic disorders are any one of a number of health problems which make cells unable to covert nutritive elements in food to useful energy. Many of these are inherited or genetic diseases, and may manifest symptoms such as stunted growth, stroke, seizures, skin rashes and hirsutism (excessive body hair).Migraines are still a mystery to medical science; although recent evidence suggests that hypothyroidism – a disorder in which the thyroid gland fails to produce a sufficient amount of that particular hormone – may be a culprit.Medical research shows that all three of these conditions can be treated with nutrition supplements that contain coenzyme q10. In addition, there is strong evidence to suggest that health and wellness products that contain this substance can help to protect our brains from neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.Other BenefitsThe American Heart Association observes that coenzyme q10 deficiency is a common factor in people who have experienced heart failure for one reason or another. Studies indicate that such heart patients respond well when given coenzyme q10 supplements.Natural SourcesIn addition to soybean oil and peanuts, one can obtain coenzyme q10 from animal-based foods such as beef as well as mackerel and sardines. Organ meats such as heart, liver and kidney are also rich in this substance. However, those who do not wish to consume animal-based foods and for some reason cannot digest soy or peanuts will find coenzyme q10 supplements an attractive option. This is a case in which you’ll want to keep health supplements containing coenzyme q10 close at hand for maintenance of good cellular health.

Cancer Cure Alternatives

Cancer Cure Alternatives

Alternative cancer cures are important among the treatments in today’s world because of the many dangerous side effects used in modern treatments. Although cancer is one of the major causes of death in the world and seems like a life threatening disease, a lot of developments and findings in medicine, technology, and science are able to contribute to the prevention, proper diagnosis, and finding the alternative cancer cure necessary for each case.Over the years, medical and scientific experts have been coming up with more treatments and preventative measures related to different types of cancer. These developments and findings are either accepted widely by fellow professionals in the field, as well as patients. However, there are still those treatments that are rather “unorthodox” because they are classified under alternative cancer cure.Did you ever wonder how you can cure cancer without the unpleasantness of chemotherapy? Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ridicule the role of nutrition in cancer. Apparently, some natural alternative cancer cures have been proven to work with various cancer patients. The best natural alternative cancer cures basically revolves around a diet that is low in sodium and high in potassium, consisting mainly of high fruit and vegetable consumption with little cooking and without any sugars, dairy products, animal products, and fats in your meals.As science is not yet developed to the point of knowing all the enzymes,vitamins and many biological functions of hormones and minerals, it is safer to use foods in the most natural form, combined and mixed by nature and raised, if possible, by an organic gardening process, thus obeying the laws of nature to maintain a normal metabolism. It has been proven that there is no cancer in a normal metabolism. A healthy diet is definitely one of the best alternative cancer cures known to man.In order to completely wipe out cancer, it would be necessary to change our agriculture by avoiding artificial fertilizers and all types of sprays. In addition, it would be necessary to change the ways of preservation and distribution of food and to avoid depriving them of their natural, vital values. That means: not to can, bottle, refine, or subject food to other damaging methods. Only a few individuals will be able to accomplish the difficult task of avoiding or reducing to a minimum all methods which modern civilization has brought upon us, thus alternative cancer cure methods are much sought after.On the other hand, great revolutionary transformations would be necessary, pressed by the strongest demand of a great part of the population to accomplish this vital task for the well being of our future offspring. As long as all the historical observations and those of our present time remain ‘paper warnings’ only, we cannot speak about prevention of cancer, but must look for alternative cancer cures.

Excessive Night Sweating Could Be A Symptom For A Medical Condition

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night drenched and wondering where on earth the leak in your roof came from? Only, you would find that you were drenched not in rain but in your own sweat, and nothing you did to help control this problem of night sweating would have any effect. This is not an unnatural occurrence. Many people – adults and children alike – go through this problem. In most cases it is nothing more than an overactive system, but it is always better to be safe than sorry. Night sweating, especially excessive night sweating could be a symptom for a medical condition of which you are unaware. Of course, some people just experience bouts of night sweating if they have ingested hot or spicy foods before coming to bed. And since prevention is always better than cure, the best thing that can be done in these circumstances is to avoid such foods that you know will trigger an attack of night sweating. Some people on the other hand, experience night sweating as part of their normal biological functions. It is also not uncommon for these people to have only intermittent bouts of night sweating. It is not necessary for these people to suffer from regular bouts of nightly sweating. It can even be triggered by a number of factors other than that of food. For the most part these include such things as excessive stress, anxiety, and to a very great extent, the prevailing weather conditions. Some people will have bouts of night sweating even in the thickest of winter, but then again, that isn’t so strange as most people will have not only the heating turned on, but also thick blankets covering them to ward off the chill! As you can see, especially in a person prone to night sweating, these factors can all lead to that person sweating excessively in the night. This does not however, mean that night sweating is experienced by a vast majority of people. Indeed, relatively speaking, the number of people who suffer from night sweating is low, but on the flip side of the coin this number is by no means very low.. If you suffer from night sweating and have tried everything you can think of to stop or even control this problem, you might want to consult with your physician to see what your options are. No one wants to contend with sweaty sheets and nightclothes, day after day, or rather night after night! You can also try using antiperspirants in the night time to help you control any night sweating problems. Or you could try changing your overall diet as well. It might not be just one food which is the problem, but your entire diet. On the other hand, you can also try relaxation methods just before you go to bed to help you relax. These can all have a beneficial effect on you and might be able to help you prevent night sweating.

GPCRs: Exploring New Paradigms

GPCRs: Exploring New Paradigms

As one of the largest and most diverse protein families in nature, the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily play important roles in a variety of biological and pathological processes such as development and proliferation, neuromodulation, angiogenesis, metabolic disorders, inflammation, and viral infection. Not surprisingly, it is one of the most targeted protein families in pharmaceutical research today (Schlyer 2006). All members of this superfamily share a similar seven transmembrane domain, but are grouped on the basis of shared sequence motifs into the following broad classes: Class A Rhodopsin-likeClass B Secretin-likeClass C Metabotropic glutamate/pheromoneClass D Fungal pheromoneClass E cAMP receptorsFrizzled/SmoothenedVomeronasal receptorsPutative/unclassifiedThe pharmaceutical industry has focused on development of modulators to this protein family, but GPCRs also represent an attractive target as biomarkers. Recent studies have implicated endothelin receptors, chemokine receptors and lysophosphatidic acid receptors in tumorgenesis and metastasis, and a recent in silico analysis found a number of GPCRs that were up-regulated in various cancers which suggests not only targets of therapeutic value, but of diagnostic and prognostic value as well. A summary of these up-regulated receptors is below.Lung cancerEdg2, P2Y purinoceptor 6, PAR-2, PAR-3, GPR68Breast cancerCCR1, CXCR-4, PAR-2Prostate cancerBeta 2 adrenergic receptor, CXCR-3, CXCR-4, GPR68MelanomaEdg6, PAR-2, mGluR1Gastric cancerCXCR-4, P2Y purinoceptor 5LymphomaBeta 2 adrenergic receptor, Edg1, CCR7 While research continues, it is evident that GPCRs are critical in countless biological functions–and disfunctions. While the emphasis is on their role in drug development, it is becoming increasingly clear that G-protein coupled receptors will play a critical role as indicators of disease with diagnostic and prognostic potential.

Magnetic Water - Is It For Real? by Debbie Shimadry

October 17th, 2008 by admin

In this article I will try to explain how magnetic water works. First, I’ll talk about whether water can be magnetised or not, then a quick review of the possible health benefits you can gain from drinking magnetic water and finally the easiest and most effective method to magnetize water.

Can water be magnetised?

Many of us understand our basic need to drink clean, healthy water. But what actually is healthy water, and why do we need it?

We are over 70% water. All our biological functions including circulation, digestion, absorption, and excretion depend on water. Water is required for blood, the lymphatic system, and healthy skin and muscles. Doctors, scientists, researchers and natural healers all agree that drinking enough water on a daily basis can help maintain good health and likely help fight disease. Most experts advise drinking at least a litre of water a day to assist in maintaining healthy skin and properly functioning kidneys, bowels, and circulation.

Water is Paramagnetic meaning that it holds a magnetic charge.

Paramagnetism occurs primarily in substances in which some or all of the individual atoms, ions, or molecules possess a permanent magnetic dipole moment. Water has a dipole moment and is, therefore, subject to paramagnetism. (At the University of Tokyo researchers were able to make water levitate using magnets (Source: NATURE . Ikezoe, N. Hirota, J. Nakagawa and K. Kitazawa, Making water levitate, Nature 393 (1998) 749-750).

Again, water molecules are dipolar. Since opposite electrical charges attract, water molecules tend to attract each other (Kegley and Andrews, 1998). Water in living systems naturally gathers into structures of 14, 17, 21, 196, 280, or more molecules (Mikesell, 1985; Davis, 2004). The bottom line is that structured or ionised or magnetised water can be formed using magnets (Mikesell, 1985).

There is a long history of the promotion of magnets to improve the quality and health benefits of water. Researchers found that when a permanent medical magnet is kept in contact with water, the water gets magnetically charged and acquires magnetic properties. Such magnetically treated water affects the human body when taken internally and regularly for a considerable period of time (Lam, 2001). Also, when water is magnetically treated, more hydroxyl (OH-) ions are created to form alkaline molecules, and reduce acidity. Normal water has a pH level of about 7, whereas magnetized water tends to be more alkaline.

Research has shown that it is possible to regenerate water to its original healthy state by magnetizing it. It is now clear that water has a very definite structure. A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. Because of the electron configuration of the molecule the hydrogen atoms tend to attract other water molecules resulting in the formation of clusters which can contain anywhere from four to hundreds of water molecules each.

Some very exciting research done in Hungary has shown that these clusters actually have a memory and can remember and carry an imprint of the magnetic energy they have been exposed to either simply from the earth’s magnetic field or through flowing over paramagnetic rock. It is the fact that this memory is destroyed on the way to the tap which renders our drinking water lifeless. (Zhalko-Tytarenko, Olga, et al. Endogenous electromagnetic field influence on the free energy of hydrogen bond formation in water. 2nd Advanced Water Sciences Symposium, Dallas, Texas, October 4-6, 1996. Proceedings, pp. 23-27 ).

The health benefits of drinking magnetic water.

Magnetized water is claimed to be energy-building, activating, cleansing and detoxifying. There are reports of people resolving bladder problems, recovering quickly from a stroke, alleviating arthritis pain and reducing blood pressure by drinking magnetized water. It is perhaps reasonable to assume that if scientific studies on animals have proven that magnetized water has health benefits, then it should also be beneficial to humans. However, so far there have been no systematic, clinical trials done to prove or disprove the healing effects of magnetized water in humans. (Gursche, Siegfried and Rona, Zoltan. Encyclopedia of Natural Healing. Alive Publishing, Inc., Burnaby, Canada, 1997, pp. 400- 07 )

Here’s a list of all the claims of the potential benefits of drinking magnetic water:

- Magnetized water tastes sweeter and has more clarity.

- Magnetic water promotes a more alkaline pH in the body

- Magnetic water promotes healing of wounds and burns

- Magnetic water has a therapeutic effect on digestive, nervous and urinary systems

- Magnetic water may also be beneficial for fevers, sore throat, menstrual and menopause discomfort.

- Magnetic water revitalizes the body

- Magnetic water provides positive effect on the autonomic nervous system

- Magnetized water has been reported to help regulate the heart function and clear clogged arteries

- Magnetic water has been beneficial for kidney ailments, gout, obesity and premature aging

- Magnetic water may help relieve pain

- Magnetic water infuses energy into the body, controls bacteria, and stimulates brain function.

Whether these claims are true or false remains to be tested by science. It will be decades before the science of magnetized water is fully understood. Those in mainstream medicine may discount magnetized water as “quackery”. That in the forefront of magnetic research paints a different story. If one understands and accepts that each of our cells possesses a small magnetic field, as many research studies are now supporting, the logical conclusion that magnetic water has the ability to affect our cells must be taken seriously.

The most efficient way to magnetise drinking water.

I promote using a bipolar magnetic water wand to magnetise water. It is a quick, efficient, simple and cost effective method. Here’s some more data about the water wand.

The magnetic water wand is 14cm (5¾ inch) long and looks like a pen with a ceramic ball at the end. The long lasting, lime scale resistant rhodium coating protects the 2 bipolar, magnets inside, totalling 2300 gauss (230 m Tesla). Because you are actually placing the magnets directly into the water the magnetic field penetrates the water extremely quickly. To magnetise a glass of water (200 - 250 ml), leave the magnetic wand for 10 to 15 minutes. and to magnetise a litre, I recommend leaving the magnetic water wand for an hour.

Remember, you don’t have to drink ONLY water. You can magnetise any cold fluid with the water wand! For more information on the magnetic water wand visit http://www.worldofmagnets.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=wwand

Significance Of Panchakarma In Ayurveda Article - Health Articles

October 17th, 2008 by admin

Ayurveda emphasizes preventative and healing therapies along with various methods of purification and rejuvenation. Ayurveda is more than a mere healing system; it is a science and an art of appropriate living, which helps to achieve longevity. Panchakarma is Ayurveda’s primary purification and detoxification treatment. Panchakarma means the “five therapies”. It is a comprehensive system of knowledge and practices to purify the body of toxins and restore it to balance with natural law.

These five therapeutic means of eliminating toxins from the body are Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti and Raktamoskshana. This series of five therapies help remove deep-rooted stress and illness causing toxins from the body while balancing the doshas (energies that govern all biological functions). Panchakarma plays a vital role in Ayurvedic medicine, both in health as well as in disease. Although panchakarma is often thought of as the entire procedure, it really is only one part of a group of therapies belonging to a class of cleansing procedures called shodan.

In today’s world when more and more people are falling prey to the adverse effects of stress and anxiety, which is leading to diseases like improper digestion, lack of sleep, allergies, chronic fatigue, cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis etc. The importance of pancha karma in ayurveda is borne out by the fact that it is applicable to all cases covering a wide range of preventive, curative, and promotive conditions. These diseases are caused mainly due to deeply seated toxins.

With the process of Panchakarma it eliminates these toxins from the body, allowing healing permanently of tissues, channels, digestion and mental functions. In Ayurveda, the treatment is broadly divided into two categories: Shodhana and Shamana. Curing the disease by cleaning out the impurities is called Shodhana chikitsa, which is the principle of Panchakarma. It involves the clearing of vitiated doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) which cause the disease and thereby the restoration of equilibrium of doshas.
