Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, World-Famous health physician and author of a Top Secret Fat Loss Secret has exploded the myth about why most people struggle so hard with fat loss and weight loss diets. The ability to lose weight seems like an elusive or impossible goal for many people. Even worse, why do people have so much trouble keeping off the fat they lose in the first place, simply to gain it back again? Have you ever wondered why your weight loss diets don’t work no matter how much you diet and exercise?
“The reason,” she says, that most people “can’t lose weight has nothing to do with your will-power, over-eating or the right diet! … The reason you are fat and unhealthy is because you have disgusting plaque and horrible little ‘CRITTERS’ living in your guts!”
Of course, what she means by horrible little “critters” are unhealthy parasites that live in your intestines and interfere with the normal digestive processes and hunger mechanisms responsible for helping you lose fat and lose weight. The problem is that “dangerous parasites living inside [your] gut excrete chemicals (waste products) that travel to your brain and tell your “hypothalamus” to [...]

Resveratrol is one of the most remarkable scientific discoveries of the last 10 years for your healh and wellness.
If Dr. Oz touts it on the Opera Winfrey show, you’d better believe something’s shaking. And Mike over at naturalnews.com calls it, “The Miracle Nutrient for Cancer, cholesterol and Longevity.” He also offers the fascinating fact that “The Chinese medicine herb hu zhang is also loaded with resveratrol.”

Anti-Aging and Longevity:
Life Extension
Very rarely has a natural substance ever been discovered that actually extends our youthful life span and allows us to live significantly longer. Resveratrol is a wonderful gift from nature (and for the ladies, helps keep skin smooth and free of wrinkles).
As reported by a National Institute on Aging/Harvard Medical School joint study, it was found that resveratrol enhances the anti-aging systems in the body, duplicating the anti aging health effects of calorie-restricted diets, as well as improves our general quality of life.
Researchers in Denmark examined 25,000 people to discover what drinking alcohol does to longevity, and found that wine drinkers lowered their total risk of mortality for any reason by about 40% [...]

When I first encountered an Atkins Diet book, I was working in an office. I had been working there for five or six years and had accumulated a fair bit of excess weight. I had never been active in sport, but my previous job had been working on site, which brought with it a certain amount of physical activity ” just enough to keep me in reasonable shape. After five years of pen-pushing, I weighed 18 stone 12 pounds (264 lbs or 120 kg), up three stone and neither I nor my doctor were happy about it.
In Paying A Price For Loving Red Meat (New York Times by Jane Brody, April 27, 2009), a new report published in the March 23 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine examined the results of the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, Directed by Rashmi Sinha, a nutritional epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute.
The study finds that “men and women who consumed the most red and processed meat were likely to die sooner, especially from one of our two leading killers, heart disease and cancer, than people who consumed much smaller amounts of these foods . . . the increase in mortality risk tied to the higher levels of meat consumption was described as “modest,” ranging from about 20 percent to nearly 40 percent.”
The problem with this study is that it seems there is no clear distinction made between red, processed and organic meats. Was the red meat that was studied organically grown, free of pesticides and antiobotics? Would this have made a difference in the outcome of the study?
Isn’t there an important distinction to be made between fresh, organically grown* beef free of artificial coloring and chemical preservatives and meats that have been pumped full of [...]
Chlorella and Spirulina: The “Perfect” Superfoods
Chlorella and spirulina are two of the most remarkable superfoods ever discovered. Everyone should include these miracle foods in their diet. For example, pound for pound, spirulina contains twelve times the digestible protein of beef. It’s a far superior protein than beef because of your body’s natural ability to digest it, and incorporates a much more complete balance of minerals such as magnesium.
As another example, a phytochemical in chlorella can actually rebuild nerve damage in the brain and nervous system. Because of this, chlorella is used in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Both of these superfoods have been scientifically shown to both prevent and even reverse cancer in humans. These superfoods also contain a high amount of essential fatty acids such as GLA that are lacking in the diets of most people yet are essential for healthy brain function.
Chlorella & Spirulina: What Are They
Food! Chlorella and spirulina are both microscopic plants that grow in fresh water, called micro-algae. They are among the earliest and simplest forms of life. They incorporate an astonishing spectrum of nutritional ingredients: vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, protein, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), chlorophyll, and other phytochemicals. [...]

Corruption in the Health Care Industry
The world’s most powerful medicines, the foundation and fabric of your body, reside in nature, in the food you eat. “You are what you eat” is the fundamental commandment of optimal health and well-being.
Paramount health and the healing of disease doesn’t require artificial, pharmaceutical drugs or medical “experts,” as the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies would like you to believe. The wisdom of the universe resides in nature and natural foods, and all the nourishment your body needs to heal itself can be found there. Give the body what it needs and it will heal itself: your immune system is the product of hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution – the evolution of natural intelligence.
If everyone consumed the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, green superfoods like chlorella and spirulina, and got enough excercise, 90% or more of all disease would be eliminated within a few years from the face of the earth. Lifespans would increase, youthful health and vitality restored to the elderly, and cutting -edge, natural anti-aging science would become mainstream. One day in the not too distant future it will be.
