Super Human Radio Bad For The Economy?

Wellness.com - Super Human Radio Bad For The Economy? by SuperHumanRadio

The The National Intelligence Council recently released a document listing six potentially disruptive civil or technological advancements that could emerge in the coming fifteen years. These would be considered disruptive if they have either a negative or positive effect on the Nation's current geopolitical, military, economic, or social position in the world.

The first and foremost on the list was Biogerontechnology. Advancements in techniques and technologies that would extend life span and healthy longevity. This would impact three of the four criteria categories - geopolitical, economic and social structures.

It was determined that if we begin to live longer as a population we will have a negative impact on the US economy. Another way to put that is it's in our government's best interest that we die on schedule. Their schedule, that is.

Here's a direct excerpt from the originally published summary of their findings -

Biogerontechnology offers the means to accomplish control over and improvement in the human condition, and promises improvements in lifespan. The advancement of the science and technology underlying the biological aging process has the potential to not only extend the average natural lifespan, but also to simultaneously postpone many if not all of the costly and disabling conditions that humans experience in later life, thereby creating a longevity dividend that will be economic, social and medical in nature.
The disruptive potential comes in the form of new treatment modalities, shifts in the cost, and resulting allocation and use of health care resources.
Nations will be challenged as a result of changing demographic structures, new psychologies, activity patterns of aging yet healthy citizens, and the resulting requirement to formulate new national economic and social policies.

I love that "aging yet healthy citizens" line. See we're supposed to get ill and die. They expect us to. Its in their best interest that we do.

This makes me suspect about a lot of things. Like the FDA's reluctance to approve modalities of anti aging treatments and their constant oppression of anti aging medicine in exchange for traditional medical practices that keep people living sick and broken.

The "hormone" witch hunt that keeps most of us on HRT quietly hiding so we're not looked upon as "anabolic steroid" drug users.

The government's reluctance to get behind stem cell therapy development.

Just about every move that our government makes to block our ability to choose supplements over pharmaceutical drugs. Like punnishing supplement manufacturers using the FTC to squelch their promotion of healthy safe supplements over harmfull drug therapies.

It really sucks. And now the cat is out of the bag. Well here's my new position. I want to start a revolution. If you want to join me here's what we need to do. We don't need guns or force and we don't have to throw tea in the harbor. We simply have to live longer.

Each time you are confronted with a poor life style choice and you're about to give in remember that you're just doing what the government wants you to do. And when you make a healthy life style choice like exercising every day, eating whole natural foods instead of packaged processed foods, and refusing to develop age related diseases, you're striking a revolutionary blow for our cause.

Like the motto of the show - Live Stronger. Live Longer.

- High Fructose Corn Syrup Revisited

Guest: Dr. Barry Popkin

High Fructose Corn Syrup died an ugly death at the hands of popular science. The Corn Refiners Association is trying to revive it through TV and print ads comparing HFCS to regular everyday table sugar. Most of the studies in the 80s and 90s on HFCS were done on rats. More recent studies have been done on humans.

Dr. Popkin's group was one of the first to publish a study on the dangers of HFCS and its link to obesity. I investigate the current information on this refined sweetener.

Conspiracy?

support@wellness.com — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:56:44 Z

Wellness.com - Conspiracy? by SuperHumanRadio

There's a quiet unspoken conspiracy going on here in the USA.

I would submit that the food manufacturers and medical orthodoxy, while no verbal agreements to conspire may have taken place, are the guilty parties.

Its clear that while lifestyle is the total reason for the degree of illness and poor health the nation finds itself, the food we eat plays more than a 75% role. Processed, chemically enhanced, nutrient devoid foods that make up over 95% of what fills our grocery store shelves today is slow at its job, but none the less poison.

We were never meant to eat dyes, food additives, preservatives and other man made enhancements - regardless of whether the FDA, in its divine wisdom, says they are safe to eat!

Its the foods we feed ourselves and our children that are at the core of type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other popular diseases today. These diseases were rare in the late 1800's. It wasn't till the forced pasteurization of milk and Proctor & Gamble's introduction of Crisco - the first hydrogenated oil - did we truly begin to see the arrogance of men, to think they could out-do mother nature. And for one reason and one reason only - Profits.

Here we are all these years later still buying foods that are adulterated by manufacturers. The rise in illness parallels the rise in processed foods contaminating the food supply. Yes contaminating.

Yet the medical orthodoxy sits quietly by. They never come out strongly against this evidence. They, instead choose to push pills and potions to allow us to live broken and continue to poison ourselves. Why I ask? As with any conspiracy its is for gain.

Imagine a country without diabetes for a moment. All of those companies that currently prosper off of this illness would go by the wayside. Now imagine a country without any of the degenerative disease of today. We wouldn't need socialized health care. Pharmaceutical companies would die off and the role of the physician would fade. Who does it benefit that we remain and continue to get sicker?

We are being poisoned. That's a strong statement but true in every sense of the words. Ask yourself when humans lost the ability to live past 60 years of age without medical intervention? Without pharmaceutical drugs? I have ancestors that lived into their 90's regularly, that took no drugs and only visited a physician in the most dire case of illness. My grandfathers didn't take cholesterol lowering drugs, blood pressure controlling drugs or glucose management drugs. So I ask the question again - when did we lose the ability to live past 60 years of age without medical intervention?

I am enraged. You should be too. We are looked upon as hosts to a parasitic conspiracy to make us sick, keep us sick and take our hard earned money in the process of keeping us alive.

Put your foot down NOW. Live a life of health and not illness. Eat whole natural foods, organic foods, the foods of your ancestors! Buy nothing in boxes with ingredient lists that have chemical names. Not one! Patronize the local family farms and farmer's markets. Buy farm fresh eggs, poultry, beef and raw unpasteurized milk. Don't fear animal fats. The cholesterol theory is a myth. The man who was one of the founders of the American Heart Association, a graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Paul Dudley White pointed this out in the early 1930's. He denounced the lipid hypothesis and pointed out that the rate of myocardial infarction was rare in the late 1800's. It increased by 60% in a short 20 year period while the population was integrating more hydrogenated oils and corn oils into their diets. He suggested that based on his research people should return to natural animal fats. The profit agenda won out unfortunately.

Humans have thrived for centuries without modern medicine. The proof is our ancestors lives. Show modern medicine the door. Eat like your ancestors and live a healthy long life devoid of chronic degenerative disease.

Hippocrates Spinning in His Grave

Hippocrates Spinning In His Grave

By Carl Lanore
July 22, 2008

Doctors today should not be allowed to take the Hippocratic Oath. Hippocrates dictated – “First do no harm” and “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. Hardly the path of allopathic medicine today.

Allopathic medicine, or the term “allopathic” was coined by Dr. Samual Hahnemann around the 19th century. The term “allo” ( or dissimilar) was to be in direct opposition to the common and more accepted medical practice “homeopathic” (homeo, or similar to the body’s own functions), of which Hahnemann was the founder.

Homeopaths were considered empiricists and allopaths, rationalists. The difference is profound, and plays a role in how we ended up here in the debacle of national widespread illness and poor health.

Empiricists looked at symptoms as a sign that the body was overwhelmed by toxins or out of kilter with its natural healthy predisposition. They didn’t “treat” the symptoms. They used the symptoms as a guide as to whether or not the treatment was working. They believed that the symptoms were the body’s natural response, and a necessary response. To treat the symptoms alone eliminates the body’s cry for help.

They observed the patient, learned about the patient. Their habits, diet, activities, stresses, sleep, family, etc., all was taken into account. They looked at each person as just that, a person. Not one of a larger group. They then applied remedies that would balance the person. Those could be herbs, changes in diet, sleep, stress, etc. If the treatment was working the symptoms would begin to subside, giving sign that the treatment was on the right track. In short they looked for the root cause and eliminated it giving the body the opportunity to heal itself.

The rationalists took a different approach. The treated only the symptoms. They looked at the symptoms as the disease itself. They used drugs to eliminate the symptoms and thus the patient was “cured”. They also looked at groups. They found the common denominator in groups suffering from a particular disease. If all of “these” people who suffered from a particular disease also had this particular symptom, then that symptom was addressed and a drug that would eliminate that symptom would be the goal.

We see the rationalists approach today in modern medicine. Drugs are prescribed that solely address symptoms. Those exclusively lower blood pressure and cholesterol or increase bone mineral uptake to reduce osteoporosis without identifying and treating the root of the problem in the first place. The problem with these and many drugs like them is they carry side effects. And with some, the side effects are just marginally less then the negative effects of the diseases they treat. Practitioners and pharmaceutical companies will argue that the side effects are overstated or less life threatening than the actual disease itself – and in some instances this is true. But in most cases its not.

And more importantly, these drugs that carry negative side effects are doing harm. Regardless of the degree of harm, they are counter to the first edict of the Hippocratic Oath – “First do no harm”.

Now don’t be mistaken to think the empiricists were nothing more than voo doo doctors. They understood the science and substructures of the body to every degree as well as the rationalists. Perhaps even more so, since allopathic medicine was borne from within homeopathic medicine. What would catapult the rationalists would be a combination of an event and greed in concert with better organizational skills – but not a better mouse trap. Quite the contrary. I’m also not suggesting that the empiricists had it all worked out and just got railroaded either. Each group had its faults. What I am suggesting is that had greed not taken a front seat and these two groups worked together, we would have a better medical system and a healthier population as a result. More emphasis would have been placed on nutrition and physical exercise and less on pills and potions.

Here’s an example to substantiate my position. Lets look at a disease like Parkinson’s Disease. We know people suffering with the disease have cretin similarities, blank facial expressions, depressive disorder, motor coordination issues and neuro-muscular degeneration. As the disease progresses untreated, deterioration in neuro-muscular factors causes freezing and severe tremor. The rationalists look at the symptoms and look for a common denominator in a group of individuals suffering with the disease. One of the commonalities is a degeneration of the dopamine transporter neurons in the Substantia Nigra – an area of the brain responsible for the initial motor commands that allow us to move our bodies.

The rationalists decide that treating the patient with an external source of dopamine, in pill form to replace the dopamine the brain is no longer making, is the answer. Initially the symptoms do subside. The patient can move with greater fluidity. Some of the depression lifts and all looks hopeful. As time passes the dose of dopamine must be increased as more of the neurons in the Substantia Nigra die off. But this produces a vicious cycle as the higher doses of dopamine seems to cause the disease to progress faster till the highest doses have no affect what so ever. In fact, most practitioners now agree that it’s the prescribed dopamine that advances the disease faster.

So isn’t’ this in essence “doing harm”? If the “treatment” progresses the disease faster is it a cure? The brief suppression of the symptoms is a way to appease the patient. To enlist their trust in the magic of allopathic medicine.

A better alternative would be to look for a true cure. To look for the true source of the disease. The death of dopamine neurons in the brain is no less a symptom of the disease than is tremor. Learning why they die and looking at individuals as just that – individuals – to see what habits and traits they possess that predisposes them to these symptoms would be the answer. The problem is that this doesn’t fit our current medical movement. Finding a common symptom in large groups and treating that symptom is the home run the big pharmaceutical companies are looking for every day. How do you patent and sell life style changes, modifications in sleep or nutrition? Pharmaceutical drugs, for the most part, cure nothing. They allow us to live broken. Now you may say “what’s wrong with that if the symptoms are gone and I can move on?”. You wouldn’t treat you car that way, is what I would reply.

Let’s say you went to a mechanic and said your engine is making this loud ominous knocking noise. It’s so loud that you’re sure the engine is sustaining additional damage with every day that you drive the car. The mechanic looks at the engine and after a brief time gives you the disposition. He hands you a pair of ear plugs and advises that you should wear them each time you drive the car. His position is that you won’t be bothered by the noise any longer because you won’t hear it! Did he fix the problem? Will the engine surely fail - eventually? Would you seriously take his advice and drive off, ear plugs in place and a smile on your face? Then why do you take similar advice from your physician when he or she hands you a pill?

Now its not all allopathic medicine’s fault. You can’t blame them for capitalizing on our unwillingness to wait for change. We as individuals know that our illnesses and their respective symptoms took years to develop. We all know that poor lifestyle habits cause the majority of diseases. Yet we want to walk into our physician and demand to be fixed now! “Give me a pill and let me get back to living this poor life style” is what we demand through our impatience. Take type 2 diabetes for instance. It’s at epidemic proportions and so many companies are capitalizing on American people. Is it in their interest that you be cured? Type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed in 90% of those who suffer from it with simple modifications to diet and exercise and the other 10%, with the addition of some interventive hormone replacement therapies. But the nation will opt for a pill and a glucometer that will allow them to live broken, eat horrible diets and avoid exercise. These companies are banking on it. They want to supply us with our pills, glucometer, glucose strips and any other thing that the Diabetic will need for the reaming 50 or 60 years of their lives.

Ask yourself, what’s wrong with a medical community that doesn’t want to suggest a cure but rather make you nothing less than a junkie? Addicted and dependant on a drug. And here’s the best part to come full circle to my initial statement that doctors shouldn’t be allowed to take the Hippocratic Oath. Those medicines they prescribe. You pick the medication, diabetes, osteoporosis, cholesterol or blood pressure – some of the more popular ones – all have side effects that can be categorized as “doing harm”.

If you can cure your type 2 diabetes in six months without drugs and their side effects and the drug de jour cause harm, shouldn’t your physician be prescribing diet and exercise? If they want to live up to the Hippocratic Oath they should. And shouldn’t insurance companies be paying for that therapy?

I don’t pretend to answer all of the questions here – only to raise them. My hope is that this will give you some food for thought.

And like food, thought is powerful medicine as well.

-I never thought I'd be doing what I'm doing today. I also never thought I'd
need before and after pictures of myself either. I'm 50 years old today.-

The picture to the right is of me in 1996. I was accepting an award for my
company. While you can't really see my body under the dark suit, I was well over
300 pounds in this picture. It was two short years later that I was diagnosed
with my heart problem along with a myriad of other illnesses that was supposed
to derail my life and make me a pharmaceutical company's dream.

I took a different route.

The pictures below were taken this morning after I trained at the gym. I told
two people that it was my birthday today. Both guessed I was in my 40's. When I
said I was 50 today, they were both astounded.

-

I feel great at 50 and will feel even better at 60 I'm sure. Age has no bearing
on life if you continue to get stronger and increase your health quotient as you
age.

I wanted to share these pictures with you. Many may not know my whole story. My journey back from illness and disrepair is nothing short of amazing. Yet its not unlike so many other's stories of facing the challenges of a poor lifestyle with
determination and spirit. Fighting the good fight.

I'm proud to be 50 and feel and look the way I do. All I want is to spread the
good word of fitness, proper nutrition and longevity that has changed my life.

The greatest gift I have is my audience. You are the best gift I can have for
this birthday. Thank you for being here to witness all of this. Thank you from
the bottom of my healthy heart.
