Apples to Treat Alcoholism? How True?

2009-12-06T05:47:00.000-08:00

After the night-long party, there is the dreaded hangover headache. But, do you know that apples can treat hangovers and alcohol intoxication?

Apples are considered valuable in the treatment of alcoholism because they may reduce intoxication and reduces cravings for wine and other intoxicating liquors.

Raw celery juice may also considered helpful. It has a sobering effect and is an antidote to alcohol.

In alcoholism it is advisable that in the beginning of the treatment, the patient is given a suitable substitute to relieve the craving if and when such a craving occurs. The best substitute drink for alcohol is a glass of fresh fruit juice, sweetened with honey, if desired. Wholesome candy may also be taken as a substitute. The patient should always have easily available juices, candy, or other snacks to be taken between meals if he feels a craving for alcohol.

All refined foods such as sugar, white rice, macaroni products and white flour and meat should
be avoided. The patient should eat several small meals a day in preference to two or three large ones and avoid strong condiments such as pepper, mustard, and chilli. He should not smoke as this will only increase his desire for alcohol.

Allergies can be detected by taking your pulse!

2009-12-04T02:49:00.001-08:00

Do you know that you can detect whether you are suffering from an allergic reaction by taking your pulse?

One doctor by the name of Dr. Coca described a method of detecting allergies, by the means of the "pulse test." The method is as follows:

Check your pulse before a meal. Then eat one type meal of food only. Wait for half an hour
after eating and take your pulse again.

A slight increase is considered normal, even up to 16 extra beats. If your pulse does not rise above 84, you may be allergy-free. But if your pulse rises beyond that point, and remains high an hour after the meal, you have found your food allergy.

The best way, however, to prevent or overcome allergies is to strengthen the overall physical
resistance so as not to fall an easy prey to every allergen that comes along. To start with, you should fast on fresh fruit juices for four or five days. Repeated short juice fasts are likely
to result in better tolerance to previous allergies.

After the fruit juice fast, the patient can take a diet of vegetables or fruits such as carrots, grapes or apples, for one week. After that one more food is added to the diet. A week later the third food is added and so on. After four weeks, the protein foods can be introduced, one at a time.

In case an allergic reaction to a newly introduced food is noticed, it should be discontinued and a new food tried. In this way all real allergens can be eventually eliminated from the diet.

Lecithin: How to Stay Young and Healthy

2009-12-03T08:17:00.000-08:00

OK. This is what I like about you. You're attractive. You have vitality. You make the most out of your life. You are in control of almost everything in your life. But stop. There is something I hate about you now. You age. You will grow old. That's not nice news.

Look at yourself in a mirror -- what you see is about 10 trillion cells divided into about 200 different types. And they all age and die soon.

Now, there are tons of anti-aging supplements over the market nowadays. One of them is Lecithin.

Besides reducing the cholesterol level in the blood, there is mounting scientific evidence to
suggest several other benefits from lecithin. It has been suggested that its intake in sufficient
amounts can help rebuild those cells and organs which need it. Lecithin helps to maintain their
health once they are repaired. It may mean that a deficiency of lecithin in the diet may be one of
the causes of ageing and that its use may be beneficial in retarding the ageing process.

Edward R. Hewith in his book, The Years Between 75 and 90 says," with older people the fats
remain high in the blood for from five to seven hours and in some cases as long as 20 hours,
thus giving the fats more time to become located in the tissues. If lecithin is given to older people
before a fatty meal, it has been found that the fats in the blood return to normal in a short time, in the same way they do in younger people."

Imagine what Lecithin can do to you.

Why I combine hospital/ conventional medicine with phytotherapy: Combining Pills and Plant Extracts

2009-11-23T03:52:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I have been mentioning that I belong to the rare and different breed of doctors who combine phytotherapy with conventional medicine or what you call "hospital medicine". I am really not into the thought of replacing conventional medicine with herbal remedies. What I am presently doing is INTEGRATING conventional medicine with phytotherapy. I do this for several reasons, but to make the long story short, for me a disease process has two parts. The first part is the "active sickness" part-- it is a part of the disease process when we first experience the signs and symptoms. It is the stage wherein the immune system of the body is very active. The second part is the 'healing" part. it is the stage when the body makes up for the damage brought about by the illness. It is the stage when the body replenishes lost tissues and proteins. This process requires a lot of energy and a lot of enzymes and co factors. The second part is also very important since it determines the actual health of the patient and his or her resistance to future illnesses and stresses. It determines which patient will be the most likely to get sick again and again.

During the first part of the disease process, we need symptomatic relief and conventional treatments like antibiotics and other drugs to fight off infection and control the illness. However, after the course of treatment, our body is in stress-- due to infection, injury and even the side effects of the actual medications. It is the stage when we need proper nutrition and supplementation to build and repair body tissues.

This is what I do. I treat the patient with conventional therapy. Then, I advise them on proper diet and nutrition and give them supplementation. For the supplementation part, I choose plant extracts.

Now, why do I choose plant extracts?

There are a lot of things we dont know about plants. Plants have been the ideal form of treatment to humankind. They are natural food to human beings. They act in a gentle way to supplement the body’s immune system and to stimulate healing from within. Plants have a stable chemical composition which makes them ideal as our daily food. Pants have been a part of our diet since life began and perhaps, its decreasing use among us as food is the reason for the growing need for vitamin and mineral supplementation nowadays.

We have long omitted herbs from our diet, when in fact, chlorophyll, which is present in plant cells and hemoglobin from our red blood cells HAVE AN ALMOST IDENTICAL MOLECULAR STRUCTURE. The element which serves as the core for chlorophyll is magnesium while Iron serves as the core for the molecular structure of hemoglobin. Thus this is the reason why natural buffers, fibers, latexes, starches and other substances from plants aid in the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and biologically active compounds.

Now you see the importance of a combined form of therapy. That is what integrative medicine is. Integrative medicine is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.

These are the principles of integrative medicine:

• A partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process

• Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body's innate healing response

• Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body

• A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically

• Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science, be inquiry driven, and be open to new paradigms

• Use of natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible

• Use of the broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease

• Training of practitioners to be models of health and healing, committed to the process of self-exploration and self-development

Question to an ICU Doctor like me

2009-11-21T20:22:00.000-08:00

I am presently on duty at the medical ICU. One of the ICU nurses approached me and asked me for advice regarding her cough and cold symptoms which persisted for 1 week despite azithromycin treatment. As I prescribed to her another course of oral antibiotics, I asked her what she was taking for her cough. She told me she was taking a herbal supplement for cough but she doesn't seem to get better. And she asked me why.

Well, I told her, I belong to that different breed of doctors who combine antibiotics and cardiac drugs with phytotherapy. I am not going to use the word "herbal". Phytotherapy for me is not herbalism, coz herbalism is ancient and quack i.e. lacking in evidence/ clinical trials/ actual laboratory testing... and is dependent on mere testimonials.Talk about heresay!

So I gave her a mucolytic,a 7-day course of oral antibiotics as empiric treatment, requested for a chest x-ray and told her a number of natural supplements she can take for her symptoms and for immune system support.

Wow. I never thought I was actually doing that! Cheers for the new Integrative Medicine/ Complementary Medicine ICU doctor! LOL!

Colour Therapy: The Role of Color in Your Health

2009-11-21T19:45:00.000-08:00

Have you heard about Color therapy? Do you know that it can be used to heal and renew the mind and spirit?

Color is introduced to us early in life. We use pastel pinks and blues in our nursery decors to welcome newborn babies into a gentle and restful atmosphere. We have our own favorite colors since we were little. The history of color healing has its roots in ancient Egypt.

Avicenna (980-1037), who viewed color to be of vital importance in diagnosis and treatment, discussed chromotherapy in The Canon of Medicine. He wrote that "Color is an observable symptom of disease" and also developed a chart that related color to the temperature and physical condition of the body.

Are you suffering nervous tension, ulcers, sexual disorders, hay fever, colds, or even cancer? Then you should consider color therapy. You could begin putting your tensions away by enhancing your environment with the color green. Green gently relieves tension and mildly sedates the body. It strengthens eyesight. Being highly medicinal and depressive, green is of great help in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.

So, how can be sure to get benefits of green? One method of color therapy is simple: Just be sure to eat green foods. Eat any of the green vegetables and fruits such as gourds, spinach, plantain, lettuce, pea, green mango, gooseberry, pears, and beans.

Taking a Thought Break: The Parable of the Pencil

2009-11-21T06:33:00.000-08:00

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
“There are 5 things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “Before I send you out into the world.
Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.”
One: “You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in
someone’s hand.”
Two: “You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.”
Three: “You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”
Four: “The most important part of you will always be what's inside.”
And Five: “On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the
condition, you must continue to write.”
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
One: “You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s
hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.”
Two: “You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various
problems in life, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.”
Three: “You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”
Four: “The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.”
And Five: “On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the
situation, you must continue to do your duties.”
Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only
you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Acai Berry Madness: Is it Effective?

2009-11-19T07:35:00.000-08:00

While participating in some health question-and-answer forums here in the internet, one thing that caught my attention was an emerging health supplement: Acai Berry. Since I am always in the hospital toiling night and day, I became curious over this supplement, which was very popular among athletes and dieters and decided to research on this.

So I googled about Acai Berry and here is what I found over wikipedia:
"The açaí palm or aqai (Euterpe oleracea) is a species of palm tree in the genus Euterpe cultivated for their fruit and superior hearts of palm. Its name comes from the European adaptation of the Tupian word ïwasa'i, '[fruit that] cries or expels water'. Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in recent years, and açaí is now cultivated for that purpose primarily. The closely-related species Euterpe edulis (jucara) is now predominantly used for hearts of palm"

Recently, the açaí berry has been marketed as a dietary supplement. Companies sell açaí berry products in the form of tablets, juice, smoothies, instant drink powders, and whole fruit.

Marketers of these products, such as Monarch Health Sciences, parent company of MonaVie, make claims that açaí provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, and reduction of cholesterol levels. Quackwatch noted that "açai juice has only middling levels of antioxidants—less than that of Concord grape, blueberry, and black cherry juices, but more than cranberry, orange, and apple juices." Furthermore, the extent to which antioxidants by themselves promote health is a matter of some debate. No credible evidence suggests antioxidants promote weight loss. According to the Washington, D.C. based Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) thousands of consumers have had trouble stopping recurrent charges on their credit cards when they cancel their free trials. Even web sites purporting to warn about açai-related scams are themselves perpetrating scams. Apparently false claims include reversal of diabetes and other chronic illnesses, as well as expanding size of the penis and increasing men's sexual virility and sexual attractiveness to women .

As of March 2009, there are no scientifically controlled studies backing up any of these claims. According to ABC News correspondent Susan Donaldson, these products have not been evaluated (in the United States) by the FDA, and their efficacy is questionable. In late 2008, lawyers for The Oprah Winfrey Show began investigating alleged statements from supplement manufacturers who suggested that frequent Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz had recommended their product or açai in general for weight loss."

Hmm.. quite interesting, huh.

Further research on Acai Berry revealed that it contains the following components:

1. Anthocyanins

Acai berries contain an extremely high concentration of anthocyanins - 30 times that of red wine. One of the many attributes of anthocyanins is their anti-inflammatory qualities. Studies have shown that anthocyanins can help prevent blood clots, improve blood circulation, relax blood vessels, and prevent artherosclerosis. But researchers have also discovered a whole host of other powerful effects related to anthocyanins, including antiviral and antiallergenic properties. One study even suggests that anthocyanins can inhibit cancer cell growth and even promoted cancer cell death.

2.Antioxidants

Antioxidant levels in Acai berry pulp are 50 times higher than mangoes, 10 to 30 times higher than red wine grapes, 3 times higher than blueberries and 3 times higher than pomegranates.
Amino acids

The Acai fruit has 19 amino acids - an almost perfect essential amino acid complex (the “building blocks” of protein).

3. Protein

One 100 gram serving of Acai contains 8 grams of protein.

4.Essential fatty acids and omegas

High levels of essential fatty acids and omegas are present in Acai pulp. There is 60% oleic acid (omega 9), a monounsaturated essential fatty acid that helps to lower LDL (harmful cholesterol), while maintaining HDL (beneficial cholesterol). There is 12% linoleic acid (omega 6), a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid that has also been found to lower LDL, while maintaining HDL.
Dietary fiber

Acai contains a significant amount of dietary fiber.

5. Trace minerals

High amounts of trace minerals (e.g. Co, Cr, Cu, Mo…) and macro minerals (Ca, Fe, Mg, P and Zn).
Vitamins

An abundance of vitamins including vitamins E, A, B1-3, C.

6. Phytosterols

Many valuable phytosterols. Sterols are compounds of plant cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the body, including a reduction of blood plasma cholesterol levels, protect the immune system, and protect against prostate enlargement.
Nutritional content

Most of the research to on the nutritional content of Acai has centered on a particular freeze-dried form known as Opti-Acai. This powder preparation (per 100 g of extract) of freeze-dried Acai fruit pulp and skin contains 533.9 calories, 52.2 g of carbohydrates, 8.1 g of protein, and 32.5 g of total fat. There is 44.2 g of fiber. The powder also contains 260 mg calcium, 4.4 mg iron, and 1002 U vitamin A, as well as aspartic acid and glutamic acid. The amino acid content is 7.6% of total dry weight.

7. Fats
Acai berry has a high content of fats, including oleic acid (56.2% of total), palmitic acid (24.1% of total), and linoleic acid (12.5% of total). Acai also contains high levels of beta-sitosterol (78–91% of total sterols). These oil components include high contents of polyphenols such as procyanidin oligmers and vanillic acid, syringic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and ferulic acid which degrade appreciably during storage or exposure to heat.

8. Antioxidants
Freeze-dried Acai fruit pulp and skin contains 3.19 mg/g of anthocyanins. The powdered preparation also contains twelve flavonoid-like compounds, including homoorientin, orientin, taxifolin, deoxyhexose, isovitexin, scoparin, as well as proanthocyanidins (12.89 mg/g), and low levels of resveratrol (1.1 ?g/g).

WOW... very very very interesting.

But you know the other interesting thing is? A lot of people are angry coz they were scammed by some trial offers from some profit-making salesman.

In my honest opinion, I am not questioning the benefits of Acai Berry. If it benefits a lot of people, the its great then! If it can reduce hospitalizations and doctor visits and unnecessary expenses, then well and good. What I don't like about it is the way some greedy salesman sensationalizes it, then profits off it, and robs the poor consumer of his hard earned dollars in this economic recession.

The Latest products in Plant Stem Cells Rejuvenation and DetoxificationTherapy

2009-11-14T17:54:00.000-08:00

PSC Plant Stem Cells Nutrition has recently launched its OTC line of plant stem cells nutritional therapy products. Now you can order them online at plant stem cells store

1. As Good as New Complex - General Detox of all tissues

Do you want to detoxify and rejuvenate the natural way?
Our body needs to get rid of toxins, which undermines our health and provides stress to our biochemical and organic functions. Although our body has a built-in system for detoxifying waste products, it cannot perform well in the face of synthetic or man-made toxins present in our environment.

PSC’s As Good As New Complex provides the answer to this quest of ours for an almost toxin-free body and way of living. This complex was developed by the latest innovation in plant biotechnology to speed up the body’s detoxification processes. It speeds up metabolism of these toxins in the liver, the kidneys and the lymph nodes. Thus we feel renewed and refreshed at all times.
This complex contains potent phytochemicals found in plant stem cells—embryonic tissue which contains biologic energy and genetic material of living plants. It is a mixture of nine herbs, each with a specific function to rejuvenate and heal the body from stresses. Fresh Unpasteurized Birch Sap has a detergent action and was once used as a traditional herbal medicine by functioning as antiseptic, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory treatment. Black Currant (Ribes Nigrum) buds has an extraordinarily high vitamin C content, good levels of potassium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B5, and a broad range of other essential nutrients. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated its potential to prevent heart disease, cancer, microbial infections and neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Horse Chestnut (Aesculuc Hippocastanum) buds encourage the growth of friendly bacteria in the stomach, thus preventing gastrointestinal upset and cleansing the bowels and getting rid of toxins and harmful wastes fast. It also contains saponins, which are complex compounds that lower blood cholesterol levels, prevents cancer, maintains bone health and stimulates the immune system.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) embryonic roots detoxify the liver, blood and kidneys. European Alder (Alnus Glutinosa) buds help get rid of harmful metals in the body and the entire digestive system. Juniper (Juniperus Communis) young shoots detoxify the kidneys and liver. Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis) young shoots are proven by laboratory experiments to be ten times more effective than milk thistle in liver detoxification and in the rejuvenation of liver cells. Rye (Secale Cereale) rootlets and Crab Apple (Malus Sylvestris) buds offer a complete total detoxification in the liver, kidneys and lymphatics.

Availability: As Good as New Complex PSC: 250 ml bottle/ 100s

2. Daily Endurance Complex

Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diet, exercise, medicines and nutritional products but to no avail?
This nutritional supplement may be what you need. Unlike other supplements in the market, it doesnt make you weak from exhaustion; in fact, it boosts your body metabolism and have more energy? It also helps strengthen immune resistance!
A lack of energy can be frustrating at times to anyone who has to keep up with the busy modern lifestyle. Lack of energy may be due to a lot of factors, such as poor eating habits, lack of exercise and increased levels of stress or fatigue.
If you subject the body to repeated physical and mental stress, the nervous system may experience over stimulation and will lead to other health complications later on. There are many ways on how to avoid this, such as relaxation and leisure activities, healthy eating, exercise and taking in supplements, especially natural health supplements.
The Daily Endurance Complex boosts adrenal function and helps overcome fatigue by increasing energy levels, leading to the improvement of performance endurance and increased recovery from stress. Unlike other energy supplements, it does not contain caffeine or sugars but only plant sterols and plant stem cells, which are embryonic tissue containing biologic energy and genetic material of living plants. Plant stem cells contain more potent phytochemicals than adult plants.
This complex contains 8 herbs which act in synergy towards increasing endurance to stress and fatigue. Ash (Fraxinus Excelsior) buds make the joints and bones healthy by decreasing uric acid formation and by helping repair ligaments and tendons in wear and stress; it also boosts adrenal function. Black Currant (Ribes Nigrum) buds contain natural plant steroids which aid in adrenal rejuvenation and also 1,000mg of vitamin C per 0.5 ml. Dog Rose (Rosa Canina), Oak (Quercus Pedonculata (buds) and Holly (Ilex Aquifolium) give energy by boosting adrenal function. Mountain Pine (Pinus Montana) buds help boost production of glucosamine and chondroitin for connective tissues. Crab Apple (Malus Sylvestris) buds help the body recover from extreme muscular fatigue. Silver Fir (Abies Pectinata) young shoots contain plant growth hormone which helps fight against stress and boosts immune system.
Suggested use: The complex must be taken 30 to 60 minutes before exercise. Mix 30-70 drops (1.5 to 3.5ml) in 8 ounces of filtered or spring water and sip over a period of five minutes. To be taken once daily. This complex must NOT be taken 4 hours before bedtime, as this can cause insomnia.

3. Sleep Alpha Complex
Are you one of the many people who have difficulty in falling asleep? Do you wake up in the middle of the night? Do you have trouble in falling asleep again after you wake up in the night? Does your sleep problem affect your daytime activities and efficiency at work?
If you have all these problems, the Sleep Alpha Complex may be the solution for you.

The Sleep Alpha Complex enhances the quality of your sleep due to the combination of two buds: the Linden Tree bud, which has claming properties, and the Fig bud, which improves the oneiric function (dream state) of a person. These two herbs act in synergy to have a calming effect on the nervous system as a whole.

4. Sinus Eliminato

Almost all of us are guilty of taking a multitude of wrong medications for sinus infections and colds. We take in decongestants, antihistamines and antibiotics, which seem to relieve symptoms for a short period of time but then recurs again.

Wouldn’t this be the right time for an-all natural supplement which can provide us comfort in times like these?
Majority of colds are viral in nature, thus antibiotics are not the treatment. Most of the sinusitis and cold preparations also come in spray form, which not only relieves symptoms temporarily but also provides a medium for bacteria and molds to grow in our nasal passages, thus leading to fatal complications.

Sinus Eliminato complex is a natural supplement for colds and sinusitis which is taken per orem. Thus, it does not harm nasal tissues, is safe, does not cause drowsiness nor agitation, and is non-habit forming. It contains a combination of plant stem cells extracts, which contains the most potent form of phytochemicals.

Sinus Eliminato Complex contains Hornbeam buds extract which is a natural decongestant that provides relief to acute and chronic sinusitis. Dog Rose young shoots give relief to runny nose (coryza) and headaches. It also stimulates the immune system by enhancing the production of Natural Killer cells. Black Poplar provides relief for post-nasal drip, cough and pharyngitis. Black Elder buds are similar to Tamiflu in action and shorten the duration of viral infection symptoms by enhancing immune resistance and assisting in the breakdown of excessive mucus. Black Currant buds are anti-inflammatory and support immunity. Walnut buds are a natural antiviral and antibiotic.

Why a Doctor like me likes to write political articles

2009-08-24T10:24:00.000-07:00

For those who knew me before, I won't introduce myself anymore (including those who are close to me and in love with me). When God created men, he showered talents upon the world's population. Unfortunately, this body was able to receive both "science" and "literature" talents. I know this sort of abnormal but I am both a scientist and an artist. I do my best to bring out both worlds.
When I was taking up BS Medical Technology, I was unfortunately chosen to be the editor-in-chief of our university newspaper. Perhaps God wanted me to showcase my nerd-dity and would not permit me to dress in those miniskirts and high heels like the cheer leaders. Perhaps he said while creating me, as he had cursed Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, "You, Marie Gabrielle Laguna, shall edit and write political articles while being a clinical laboratory science student. You shall wear glasses and pull your long hair apart when you are stuck with deadlines. You will be cursed to crawl on the earth's crust as a struggling, sweaty scientist and a flowery literary artist". My, my,my.

Why does a doctor like me find writing political articles a hobby?

BEATS ME! ( And me too..says YOU)

Well..it happened. The damage has been done. The poor doctor of Internal Medicine has started a blog. I am not new to this thing. As I have said before, I have written political articles for two years WHILE studying bacteria and viruses in petri dishes.

As a fan of mine commented on my friendster blog " A Doctor and a writer-- Talent pays), I humbly succumb myself to undergo the process of scrutiny under the eyes of the public as a doctor and as a writer.

My new blog is entitled " The Anarchistic Mind of Gabs". In this blog, I will write my personal views of change-- not necessarily radical but effective change from within us. I am an advocate of anarchy, but I honestly think that rebellion is not patriotism.

Please partake a piece of my mind. CLICK HERE:

Some effective methods to reduce body weight and fat around stomach

2009-08-16T09:06:00.000-07:00

Many of us are afraid of eating much. For the figure conscious, eating much means loading up your body with carbohydrates, which is soon stored as fat, leaving unsightly bulges in your belly and flanks.
However, if you are a busy person, preventing yourself from eating that second bowl of soup or that second p[late of pasta is a big dilemma. As you work, your body uses up glucose as its source of energy so that you can perform work. An increase in demand for glucose triggers us to have that certain “high” for sugar to replenish our carbohydrate stores.
Yet, dear figure-conscious folks, do not despair. You can eat more and weigh less—with diet and fat stomach exercises.
The search is on for the best exercise to lose stomach fat fast—and the best way to lose stomach fat.
The best exercise which is proven to reduce fat in the abdomen is the abdominal exercise. They are proven to tone your muscles and shape them so that your muscles will become stronger and protect your abdominal organs from injury. In the first few days that you will be doing abdominal exercises, you may hardly see any changes in your muscles, because of the fat still covering them. But religiously doing your ab exercises are sure to make you belly flat.
In the list of the best abdominal exercises, crunches top the list. A crunch is an abdominal exercise which focuses more on your upper abdomen, particularly your rectus abdominis, the muscle responsible for your six abs. The performer lies on his back, with hands crossed in the chest and with his knees bent. Then the performer slowly raises himself up. Crunches should be done 20-25 times in 90 seconds. Once tolerated, slowly increase the repetitions.
The reverse crunch is another effective exercise to flatten your stomach. In this exercise, you are going to tone your lower abdominal muscles. The person lies on his back, with knees bent slightly in the air and ankles crossed. The hips are then raised 2 inches off the floor and held there in place for about 2-3 seconds. Then the hips are placed back on the floor. Repeat the process and increase the repetitions gradually per day.
Sit-ups are another type of exercise used to tone and strengthen your abdominal muscles. However, in the performance of this exercise care should be taken so as not to create injury to your spine and neck and head muscles. The proper way to do sit-ups is as follows: You should lie down on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Then you should place your hands on opposing shoulders, after which you tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your head then your shoulder blades then your torso. After doing this, hold your position for a second then slowly bring back the torso to the floor. You need to do this for 3 or more times.
In doing your sit-ups and crunches, always remember that looking good is the reward for hard work and endurance. So exercise more for a beautiful body!

Effective exercises to lose stomach fat

2009-08-16T08:46:00.000-07:00

A tight abdomen is beneficial in that it offers protection to some vital organs such as the heart and the lungs as well as it helps us maintain good posture and balance coordination.
It is said that diet alone cannot make one lose belly fat. There is a closer relationship between stomach fat and exercises. We need to exercise for stomach fat to burn faster.
However, most of us have this question: What are some of the effective exercises that get rid of stomach fat?
Before tackling about the types of exercises to loose stomach fat, let us first find out how exercise burns fat. Exercise burns fat because it speeds up the body’s metabolism thus spends up the body’s demand for oxygen and calories to be burned. The body first burns the available calories then burns the fat deposits if actually needed. Thus a good stomach fat burning exercise is the one which does not only burn available calories but it should be able to burn the fat deposited in the belly.
Experts say that for exercise to be effective it would be done in 8-12 repetitions per exercise, about 2-3 times per week. As the exercises become easier, you can gradually increasing the number of repetitions.
Here are some of the most effective exercise the author has heard over the internet and the media nowadays:
1. The bicycle crunch
Nothing eats the popularity of the bicycle crunch. This exercise is sure to make you lose stomach fat in just a few weeks time. In this exercise the person lies on the floor with his lower back pressed into the floor. Then he brings both of his hands behind the head. Starting with the legs bent at a 45-degree angle, he then brings the right knee into the chest while extending the left leg out straight. At the same time, the torso is rotated so that the left elbow goes to the right knee, and then is switched so that the left elbow goes towards the right knee.
2. Reverse Crunch
In this exercise, the person lies flat on the floor with his lower back pressed into the ground. He then raises his legs into the air and bends his knees to a 90-degree angle. Keeping his legs still, he then lifts his hips up off the ground, and returns to starting position.
3. Captain's Chair: This exercise requires the use of a tall chair without a seat. The performer stabilizes his body on the chair by pressing his back against the back pad. He then places his elbows on the armrests and grips the handles. He then steps off the footrests and lets his legs hang while holding himself up. Then the knees are lifted towards the chest and are returned to starting position.
Before starting any exercises, always consult your doctor so that you can be screened for some medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. If you have these conditions, you have to refrain from strenuous physical activities and instead shift to light, aerobic ones. Also, tell your personal trainor if you have any back and spine problems so that they will not be aggravated by the exercises.

Do sit-ups help lose body fat in your stomach?

2009-08-16T08:42:00.000-07:00

In the road towards fitness, diet is nothing without proper exercise. For us to lose belly fat, we must choose the right exercise which makes the muscles of our abdomen tighter. One method which is effective is getting rid of stomach fat in sit-ups.
How do sit-ups lose fat in our stomach? Sit-ups have been shown to strengthen abdominal muscles effectively. Strong abdominal muscles can function effectively and protect our internal organs and to make our lungs breathe effectively. Strong abdominal muscles also are necessary in maintaining good posture and in relieving back pain.
Diet alone cannot tone your abdominal muscles. Because fat covers much of your abdominal muscles, limiting calorie intake cannot help trim your waistline. You need to burn the fat which accumulates in your tummy.
How many times should you exercise? Experts suggest that you perform about 3-5 abdominal exercise 3-5 times a week. You should first be concerned about your comfort. You can start with exercises with which you are comfortable with and gradually increase the repetitions. You should select the abdominal exercise which best fits your lifestyle.
Peter Francis, director of the biomechanics lab at San Diego State University, has evaluated 13 of the most popular abdominal exercises. He and his colleagues began to measure the electrical activity of the muscles during each of the workouts. They had found out that three of the thirteen exercises required the muscles to work hard effectively than the rest.
According to these investigators, the bicycle crunch exercise, the reverse curl and the Captain’s chair were the most effective abdominal exercises. And these three are sit up modifications.
In the bicycle crunch, the person lies on the floor with his lower back pressed into the floor. Then he places his arms behind the head. With the legs bent at a 45 degree angle, the person brings the right knee into the chest while extending his left leg out straight. Then he rotates the torso so that his left elbow goes to the right knee then he switches so that the right elbow goes to the left knee.
In the reverse curl, the person lies flat on the ground and raises his legs into the air and bends his knees into a 90 degree angle. He then lifts his hips up off the ground as he keeps his legs still then returns to the starting position.
The captain’s chair is a form of exercise which utilizes a tall chair without a seat. The person presses his back against the back pad. He then places his elbows on the arm rests and grips the handles. He then steps off the footrests and lets his legs hangs while holding himself up. He then lifts his knees towards his chest and then returns to the starting position.
Before you try out these exercises, you should first ask you personal trainer or a health care specialist such as a doctor or a nurse. He or she will evaluate you as to your comorbid illnesses and he or she can suggest what type of exercise is best for you.
If you want a flatter tummy you have to work hard for it. To see the results faster, eat the proper food and exercise you tummy more often!

Foods that cause stomach fat or bloatness

2009-08-16T08:20:00.000-07:00

One of the factors which cause stomach body fat to accumulate is bloating. As defined, bloating is a sense of abdominal fullness which can later on lead to abdominal discomfort, pain and diarrhea or constipation. Bloatness can also result to flatulence, which is an embarrassing and uncomfortable situation.
What causes bloatness? Bloatness may result from the intake of simple carbohydrates, such as refined sugars, fructose and sucrose, which is found in white bread and other white-flour foods. These foods taste good but they cause gas formation in the stomach, leading to bloating and flatulence.
Milk is also another culprit. Some people lack lactase in their intestines, thus they cannot digest milk, a condition known as lactose intolerance. If you have lactose intolerance and you experience bloatness, you can try some over-the-counter products to help digest milk, such as Lactaid and those containing lactase enzymes.
Foods which are proven to cause bloatness are beans, beer, bran, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, soft drinks, milk, cauliflower and onions. If you are a beans lover, you can help reduce the gas-forming effect of the beans you plan to cook and eat by soaking the beans overnight, pouring the water out afterwards and cooking them for about half an hour. Then, after cooking, discard the water used in boiling them and pour in new water to cook for another 30 minutes.
Foods which can slightly cause bloatness are raw apples, apricots, bananas, wheat bread, carrots, celery, citrus fruits, coffee, cucumbers, eggplants, potatoes, lettuce, pretzels, soybeans and raisins. These foods can cause bloatness in some people who are extra sensitive to them while they do not in some people.
Emotional stress has also been proven to worsen bloatness, since the stomach is sensitive to emotional outbursts such as anger, stress and anxiety. The stomach also has nerves which connect to the brain and receive signals, triggering abdominal tightening and cramping.
Exercise can also help eliminate stomach bloatness. Exercise helps regulate the movement of the intestines and thus makes us have regular bowel movements. It speeds our metabolism, making us digest food well and use it as a source of energy fast. Sit-ups and crunches are abdominal exercises which are effective in eliminating stomach bloating.
To avoid abdominal bloatness, we must avoid flatulence, which is a result of excessive belching. Belching may have many causes, such as excessive smoking, swallowing of gas during eating, eating hurriedly, anxiety, postnasal drips, colds and drinking carbonated beverages
There are some studies which say that abdominal bloatness are a result of chemicals and preservatives found in processed food. Bloatness results as a form of food hypersensitivity reaction. Thus, for us to avoid the development of stomach bloatness, we must avoid processed food and snack on healthier food options such as fruits and vegetables.
If abdominal bloatness persists despite avoidance of foods mentioned and applying the remedies mentioned, you have to consult your doctor in order to rule out other problems such as intestinal obstruction, malabsorption syndromes and other serious gastrointestinal diseases.

Prostate Cancer and its Risk Factors: PSC Plant Stem Cells as Novel Therapy

2009-08-14T10:05:00.000-07:00

The risk for prostate cancer increases with age. Although it is said that the amount of deaths caused by prostate cancer has decreased during the past five years, studies have not shown results about improvement in survival.
There are many risk factors related to prostate cancer. First is a positive family history. Prostate cancer is said to increase two-fold if a first degree relative is affected and by four-fold if two or more are affected. More African males are affected because of increased levels of testosterone in this group.
Environmental factors also play a role. Also, high consumption of dietary fats in the form of alpha-linoleic acid, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are found when red meats are cooked, is said to increase the risk.
Actual medical practice say that treatment of prostate cancer include GNRH analogues or drugs resembling gonadotropin releasing hormone, a hormone found in the pituitary gland. Estrogen and progesterone-like drugs are also given. Estrogens, the hormone secreted by the ovaries are now not being used because of the risk of side effects such as swelling, pulmonary embolism wherein a foreign body lodges on the artery of the lungs, and stroke. The GNRH analogues are associated with a sudden down regulation of hormone receptors, which leads symptoms such as hot flushes, weakness, fatigue, impotence, loss of muscle mass, changes in personality, anemia, depression and osteoporosis.
Given the numerous side effects of these drugs, there is a growing interest with regards to the use of PSC plant stem cells. Plant Stem Cells have the advantage of being less toxic than the therapies previously mentioned for prostate cancer.
PSC Black Currant plant stem cells contain Indole acetic acid, which removes excess estrogen , and other components which disrupt estrogen receptors.
PSC Black Elder plant stem cells contain beta-sitosterol which is used for lowering cholesterol and easing symptoms of prostate enlargement.
PSC Boxwood plant stem cells contain linoleic acids, which decrease the risk for prostate cancer.
PSC European Alder plant stem cells contain Emodin which interferes with the activity of androgen receptors. These androgen receptors when activated by pre-cancerous agents, known as oncogenes, leads to increased proliferation of cancer cells and growth of blood vessels which nourish and encourage the growth of cancer cells. Emodin stops these androgen receptors and encourages these caner cells to commit suicides buy a process known as apoptosis. Thus these cancer cells are killed before they can spread to other parts of the body. PSC Chaste Tree plant stem cells reduce elevated prolactin, which may be a risk factor for prostate enlargement. PSC Elm plant stem cells reduce cholesterol levels in the prostate.
PSC Grey Alder plant stem cells suppress the NFKB protein which is activated in prostate cancer.
PSC Oriental Plane tree plant stem cells inhibit estrogen and induce tumor cell death (apoptosis).
Auxins or plant hormones found in PSC plant stem cells stimulate an enzyme which makes estrogen less active.
If you are 70 years old and above and is at risk for prostate cancer, PSC plant stem cells therapy may be the answer to your future problems. PSC plant stem cells are the future of today’s medicine—an all natural advancement with the freshness and healing wonders of Nature.

PSC Plant Stem Cells: The Natural Way to Fight Infections

2009-08-14T10:00:00.000-07:00

Our body is like a huge community, where good bacteria and biochemicals reside inside their cell-homes. Everyday, physiologic processes occur, comparable to the daily traffic and the hustle and bustle of work that we are engaging in constantly. However, delays in work can sometimes occur—a break in a dike, natural disasters such as typhoons, snowstorms, hurricanes, fires and earthquakes—and the constituents in the community we call the HUMAN BODY lag behind their processes and work schedules. All these delays can cause STRESS. This is where a modern yet natural solution comes in—PSC plant stem cells.
PSC plant stem cells are both ANCIENT and NOVELTY. PSC plant stem cells are TODAY’s and TOMORROW’s answers to medical mysteries. The idea of PSC plant stem cells are old because plants have been used by man since the ancient times; yet modern medicine and laboratory science has developed this ancient art of herbology to create the purest breeds of buds, rootlets and young stalks—without the imperfections.
This is where modern technology meets traditional medicine. The creation of PSC plant stem cells is a major breakthrough in today’s modern medicine. In this modern world of hospitals and treatment facilities, chemotherapeutic research and toxicology, there are still unanswered questions. Susceptibility to infection varies from person to person, and scientists haven’t found the answers. PSC plant stem cells apply modern technology to plants—further purifying them, to heal us and comfort us; to make our lives better. This is when modern science becomes CONSTRUCTIVE and BENEFICIAL to Nature—through the creation of PSC plant stem cells.
Creators of synthetic drugs are not aware that our body is capable of repairing itself in times of infection. It doesn’t actually need foreign chemicals for it to build and repair body tissues. Rejuvenation is a natural process of the body, which is best brought about by PSC plant stem cells.
There are many ways on how the body fights infection by itself, without the use of synthetic substances. Fever, the immune response, inflammation and biochemical messengers in the body are all protective mechanisms against infection. Our body needs natural systems and substances for it to function effectively and for it to withstand STRESS and last for many years—through PSC plant stem cells.
PSC plant stem cells is Mother Nature’s way of making our body heal itself. PSC plant stem cells, such as Immuno-Regulato PSC, strengthen the body’s natural defenses. PSC Plant stem cell extracts have different ways of enhancing our immune system. For example, PSC plant stem cell Boxwood young shoots improve the function of our body soldiers (T Cells and white blood cells). PSC plant stem cells Silver fir buds encourage growth and reduce a person’s susceptibility to the common cold. PSC plant stem cells Dog Rose buds stimulate natural killer cells to destroy harmful microorganisms.
If you want to stimulate your body to fight fearlessly against infection, act now! The answer is here: http://plantstemcells.net/index.php

Facts about Plant Stem Cells

2009-08-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

What are Stem Cells?
Stem Cells are but the key cells in the human body. When we were babies inside our mother’s womb, or “embryos”, we are but a clump of stem cells. These stem cells, which come from our mother’s egg and our father’s sperm in union, will soon give rise to the numerous organs and systems in our body. Thus, we may also call stem cells as our “Parent Cells”

What about Plant Stem Cells? What are they?
Plants come from seeds. When you plant a seed in the soil, the moisture, the air and the minerals found in the soil will cause the growth of the baby plant. The baby plant is seen as a tiny shoot with very delicate, small roots. Within this baby plant are many stem cells. Some of the stem cells in the baby plant will further develop into leaves; some into roots and some into the stem.
Plant Stem Cells can also be found in buds. Take for instance, a rose plant. A rose plant soon grows and some of its branches will produce buds. Stem cells are the ones which produce these buds. Plant Stem Cells are just present in a plant throughout its entire life because these cells further give rise to new leaves, new buds and new roots.

When did the study of Plant Stem cells start?
It started in Ancient Egypt, when people began to use buds, young shoots and rootlets to heal common illnesses such as stomachaches, colds, constipation, wounds and other illnesses

How are PSC Plant Stem Cells produced? How can we be sure that these stem cells are “good” cells and not “bad” stem cells—the ones which are stunted, wrinkled or shriveled?
Believe me, this has been a question before in the quest of scientists for make plant stem cell extracts. But after years of study, finally, there is a remarkable discovery which had enabled us to isolate and grow good plant stem cells.
In 2005 some scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Developmental Biology have discovered the way plants create stem cells. The creation of plant stem cells is being regulated by a growth-enhancing hormone and a regulatory protein, which controls the number of stem cells the pant produces.
Now, we know that haste makes waste. If there are abnormalities associated with the secretion of the plant hormone and the expression of this certain plant protein, there will be a mass production of stems cells—which are defective. This is known as “cancer”-in plants.
PSC Plant Stem Cells were produced with tender loving care. They were picked from choice plants with good growth. These plants are being grown and taken cared and their high quality stem cells harvested later on—to produce a near-perfect solution which detoxifies and renews.

What are the Effects of Plant Stem Cell Extracts to us?
Plant Stem Cells detoxify us, frees us from the free radicals and oxidants which causes the body to age, thus we are renewed and rejuvenated.
But how to they do this? Plant stem cells contain the plant hormones auxin and gibberellin. Studies have shown that auxins and gibberellins are NOT present in the adult plants; they are only found in Plant Stem Cells. This means to say that the presence of two hormones IS THE REASONS WHY a young plant DOES NOT contain those age-spots and the wrinkled, worn-out texture. Auxins are gibberellins are the reasons why buds are fresh; this is why scientists claim that if we take more of these plant hormones, we will also delay the signs of aging such as wrinkle formation, sagging muscles, aching joints, osteoporosis and hormonal imbalances. We will feel renewed, juts like the buds and young plants.
PLUS, Plant stem Cells contain vitamins, minerals and growth hormones, which are needed by the growing body. These substances are ESSENTIAL to plant growth, thus they are also ESSENTIAL to human growth—without the side effects.

Why do we need to detoxify?
Everyday, we encounter many stresses which are harmful to the body. When we wake up, we breathe air which is polluted, coming from factories, vehicles and dirt roads. The coffee that we take in contains caffeine, which in large amounts, is toxic to the heart. We smoke cigarettes which make our lungs fail later on. The cosmetics that we use are full of chemicals, making our skin dry and devoid of natural nutrients and minerals to make it more firm and supple. We eat food rich in preservatives, seasonings, fat and salt. We lack sleep; and sleep makes the body weak, so that it feels too weak to perform its own functions like cleansing up and getting rid of toxins. We are constantly being exposed to toxic substances—and these make our body age, by filling up or cells with free radicals and oxidants.

The Role of PSC Plant Stem Cells in Herpes Infections

2009-08-11T09:09:00.000-07:00

Herpes is a silent evil. It can infect any person without him or her knowing it. Before these people know it, they are already beset with mouth sores, shingles or genital infections. That is how the herpes virus works—silent and seemingly benign, but it can lead to serious complications such as nerve infections, coma and even death. Modern antivirals cannot predict the actual time when a dormant virus can recur again. Resistance to infection must be well maintained. Now, new natural ways have been discovered, thanks to modern technology! This breakthrough may provide future answers to the dilemmas regarding herpes virus infections. This NEW approach is PSC plant stem cells therapy.
Generally speaking, there are two types of Herpes Virus—HSV- 1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is the type which is often associated with oral infections (cold sores). HSV-2 is usually associated with genital infections. During the time of infection, a person may not feel any symptoms, until ulcers, blisters and weeping lesions appear. Then these lesions heal, but the virus stays for life inside nerve cells, resting and waiting for the immune response to weaken. Then, once it sees an opportunity to spread itself, it gives rise to blisters around the mouth and in the genital regions such as the buttocks, things and the groin. This process needs to be stopped, which can be done if we strengthen the immune system to fight off infections and prevent immune compromise. This is where PSC plant stem cells play a role.
Does our body fight off the virus? Well, in fact, yes. Once the virus enters the body and replicates in the cells, the body forms antibodies against them. Thus we need to enhance our immune system so that it can continually fight off the virus—through PSC plant stem cells.
In the strictest sense, once you are infected with herpes, you live with it. If you have a previous infection with herpes virus, you better recharge and prepare your body’s ammunition for the next attack. This has now been made possible the natural way! Say goodbye to synthetic chemicals which add insult to injury. PSC plant stem cells, which have been derived from the buds, rootlets and young shoots of plants offer natural ways of strengthening your body to withstand stresses. Science and biochemistry has created a natural product with the effectiveness of plants and herbs, but without their impurities—PSC plant stem cells.
PSC plant stem cells are Nature’s gifts to humankind. PSC plant stem cell extracts contain phytochemicals such as plant hormones, vitamins and minerals to boost your immune system.
Herpecell-Topical PSC plant stem cells is an antiviral complex for the nutritional support of herpes infections. This formula fights off herpes virus infection by making the body produce interferons, which are the body’s first line of defense against viruses.
PSC plant stem cells found in Herpecell-Topical PSC provides relief from HSV-1, HSV-2 and Herpes Zoster shingles. The topical form of PSC plant stem cells Herpecell-Topical PSC is composed of PSC plant stem cells Black Currant buds, PSC plant stem cells Raspberry young shots, PSC plant stem cells Elm buds, PSC plant stem cells Melissa MT and PSC plant stem cells Propolis MT. The oral from of Herpecell-Topical PSC plant stem cells is composed of PSC plant stem cells Grape Vine buds, PSC plant stem cells Crab apple buds, PSC plant stem cells Bilberry young shoots, PSC plant stem cells Black Currant buds, PSC plant stem cells Rosemary young shoots, PSC plant stem cells Dog Rose young shoots, PSC plant stem cells Elm buds and PSC plant stem cells St. John’s Wort buds.

PSC Plant Stem Cells—Effective Anti Aging Regimens Inside and Out

2009-08-11T09:05:00.000-07:00

Everyday, we are exposed to various factors which stimulate aging. The air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the water that we drink, our fast-paced, late-meal, late-sleep lifestyle speed up the appearance of skin wrinkles and sagging. It is not only the skin which reflects aging; deep inside, our immune system, digestive system, lungs, heart, liver and joints are also aching because of the stresses that we continuously encounter.
So what happens during aging, which gives rise to all of these manifestations?
Our body is made up of cells, some of them stem cells or “parent cells”—and these cells have their own lifespan. Various types of cells vary in their lifespan and these cells reach their ripe age through the process of cell death.
There are two types of cell death: one is a healthy type of cell death known as “apoptosis” and the other is a traumatic type of death, known as “necrosis”. When we are exposed to the stressors previously mentioned, our cells die a traumatic type of cell death. This can contribute to rapid aging of our bodily organs.
There is another factor which leads to faster skin aging, and that is the accumulation of free radicals and oxidants in our system. The accumulation of these free radicals is due to slowing of processes when we are exposed to stresses, plus the diseases to which we are prone to everyday. These free radicals continue to slow down the cell’s processes, thus our skin develops wrinkling and sagging, our muscles and joints ache, and our body systems are slow to function. We feel aged inside and out.
In the past, our ancestors have been using plants as effective remedies for various illnesses and to freshen up the body and make the skin smooth and clear. In our research, is has been found out that Plant Stem Cells, the young cells which gives rise to new rootlets, buds and shoots constantly, are the ones with the purest and most active and potent plant hormones known as auxins and gibberellins. These plant hormones are plant stem cells and are not found in adult plants and may be the reason why shoots, buds and young stalks are not as pigmented, wrinkled, stooped, dried and deformed as compared to the adult plants.
PSC Plant Stem Cells Distribution LLC, in its attempt to bridge the gap between traditional and alternative medicine, has created a new line of PSC Plant Stem Cells extracts. These extracts contain Plant Stem Cells are the newest modality in not only anti-aging and detoxification but also in strengthening immune response and in improving quality of life of patients with certain diseases and illnesses.
PSC Plant Stem Cells Therapy speeds up the body’s metabolism and guides the cells in their normal processes. The plant hormones facilitate “cleansing” of the body cells against toxic wastes and free radicals. Because PSC Plant Stem Cell Therapy is taken orally, it facilitates cleansing and detoxification not only on the inside but also on the outside. Not only do you look younger, you also feel younger.
PSC Plant Stem Cells are the answers to today’s problems on faster skin and body aging. If you want to experience life to its fullest, visit their website:

PSC Plant Stem Cells: Naturally Focused on Being

PSC Plant Stem Cells: Defying Age--Inside and Outside

2009-08-11T09:03:00.000-07:00

They say that age is just a state of mind. Yet, some facts prove it is not, actually.
People age because their cells age too. Beneath the wrinkles and gray hair, there lies a unique mechanism that only our body can understand fully well—aging.
Cell aging has always baffled scientists and laypersons alike. Yet, after years of research, they have actually defined the two most important processes that appear as milestones in the life of a cell—mitosis and apoptosis.
Mitosis is the process of cell division. Different types of cells have different life spans and they divide according to the work that they do or the demand for their functions. For example, cells which make up the stomach, the lips and the intestines live for only 3 days. Our skin cells die after 20 days. Our red blood cells live for 120 days. Our liver cells live for 200 days. Brain cells have a longer life—30-50 years.
Yet, there are also factors which we have to consider which leads to faster aging. Hereditary factors, our diet and our environment are these factors. It is said that the color of your skin will affect how your skin will age. Dark skin is slow to age and fair skin is faster to age.
Next is the role of diet. A diet rich in Vitamins A and E is rich in antioxidants. These antioxidants are rich in fruits and vegetables. A hostile environment can cause the skin to age faster. Sun exposure and smoking are stresses which speeds up skin aging.
Cell death or apoptosis is beneficial because it makes old cells die and gives rise to the regeneration of new cells, which make the person be more youthful and fresh-looking.
There is another form of cell death which is termed as necrosis. Necrosis is not a natural way to die among cells. It is an accidental death or a traumatic death brought about when cells, who are not expected to die, experience a lack of nutrients or ischemia—a lack of oxygen due to a lack of blood supply. This stresses lead to the production of oxides and free radicals which when present inside the cell, control the cell’s processes and makes it die.
Having known these facts, how do we delay skin aging?
Synthetic drugs, creams, peeling and depigmentation agents cause stresses. They also lead to death of cells, and eventually regeneration, but through the unhealthy process of necrosis. Necrosis, as a traumatic type of cell death, can make the cells go “crazy”--- and they emit signals which are misleading to other cells. Cell biological processes go berserk. The process may give rise to CANCER—which is a product of miscommunication and chaos among the cell organelles and processes.
We should promote a healthy type of death among our cells. And there is only one way to achieve this—natural therapy with the use of PSC plant stem cells. PSC plant stem cells are derived from buds, young shoots and rootlets. These cells are very young and have never been exposed to stresses. They are delicate materials yet they have potent pure substances within them. We at PSC Plant Stem Cell Nutrition has applied the latest biological technology in processing these cells as carefully as we can, so that we can make them into therapies—for the modern men and women who are exposed to stress, air pollution and infectious exposure every day. We have a range of ointments and oral solutions to suit you.
While you are reading this article, some of your cells are dying. Are you sure they are dying a natural type of death, considering the food you have just eaten, your busy and sleepless lifestyle and the medicines you are taking? If you act now, you can encourage them to die a natural death and to regenerate new cells. New cells lead to a renewed body and mind. Act now before it is too late! PSC Plant Stem Cells Therapy is the answer.

The True Essence of being a Doctor

2009-08-11T09:00:00.000-07:00

Being a doctor is a very dignified and rewarding profession. For years, doctors have been tasked to heal the sick and the dying. In ancient times, during the Egyptian dynasties, physicians were scribes who studied the sacred books under the guidance of priests. Yet, even during those early days, side effects of drugs were not spared from the scrutiny of the public. The Papyrus Ebers is an early Egyptian document which consists of 700 drugs and 800 prescriptions ascribed to gods and goddesses. The first doctor and patient consultation was noted as early as ancient Babylon, who included laws regarding physician-patient relationships in their Code of Hammurabi. Throughout the years, the Hippocratic oath and the dictum “Primum non nocere” (First, do no harm) has governed the practice of medicine in any country worldwide.
However, the practice of medicine is now turning into a commercialized industry. Competition and corruption has lined the intent of pharmaceuticals to reach the public with their provision of medical services, as they create new drugs for the public. As newer and newer medications are being discovered, there is also a need for sponsored scientific sessions, doctor coverage in the clinics, more manpower, and monopoly in the sales of drugs. As a result, the cost of medications is spiraling up and fewer and fewer people are getting access to it every year.
While new diseases are being discovered each year, many people are also becoming afflicted with all sorts of illnesses. Pollution, unhealthy diet and lifestyle, pesticides and environmental hazards add to the toll of morbidity and mortality.
There is now a need for newer, cheaper yet effective alternative for synthetic drugs. One of the recently studied is the use of Plant Stem Cells.
The study of Herbal medicine and Plant Stem Cells dates back to the ancient periods when people relied mostly on herbs and spices to cure their ailments. It is only in the later years that we have observed the growing incidence of cancer. Now, the question is this: Is this the result of the discovery of newer methods of detecting cancer and tumorigenesis, or is this the result of modern medicine and an unhealthy lifestyle? Have we abandoned herbal medicine completely in our quest for new drugs? In our selfish ways, we have tried to isolate the chemicals present in plants by making more tablets, capsules, syru8nges, IV injections and infusions. Yet, we forget that Mother Nature is already patterned and balanced to cure and rejuvenate us. Now, it is present in PSC Plant Stem Cells.
PSC Plant Stem Cells are the answers to the growing toxicity of synthetic drugs and their expensive prices. PSC Plant Stem Cells contain phytochemicals and plant hormones which help nurse the individual back to normal health. It contains the balance of Mother Nature—true healing without the harmful side effects.
The essence of being a doctor is found in the Hippocratic Oath:
“I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts. … In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. ..If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
As doctors, we have sworn this oath after graduation from medical school. But are we practicing it? Have we forgotten about Mother Nature’s healing properties—by turning to toxic, synthetic drugs? Here is the answer—PSC Plant Stem Cells.

A healthy diet for getting rid of stomach fat

2009-08-10T06:54:00.000-07:00

The bothersome stomach fat has become more a dilemma for most of us. As we spend the night partying with sugary sweet desserts, sizzling steaks and cans of beer, we also spend hours in front of the mirror trying on clothes which have become tight around the waist and trying on tight-fitting jeans and dresses which cannot fit us. Or, most of us probably experience the dismay of choosing sexy lingerie, or supermodel dresses in boutique racks and then going to the fitting room and struggling hard to try it on because it does not fit? The quest is on for diets to reduce stomach fat—without making us go hungry and weak most of the time.
Because a person’s diet and stomach fat are somewhat related, there are many fad diets on the market nowadays—all screaming of a money back guarantee to loose stomach fat fast. The search is on for a truly effective diet to lose fat around stomach.
In choosing the right type of diet for you, you must remember that there are three important elements to consider to loose stomach fat fast. First is to avoid bloating, second is to retain the right amounts of muscle and third is to utilize the right amounts of calories for fat to be burned.
Bloating is a sense of abdominal fullness in the stomach which is due to the type of foods that we eat. It may be due to gluten intake which can cause abdominal cramps and stomach upset in a person with celiac disease. In lactose intolerant persons, it may be due to the intake of milk and milk products, which cause food hypersensitivity. Bloating may also be due to preservatives found in processed food.
In order for us to minimize bloating, intake of dairy and wheat products should be avoided and processed foods intake should be reduced. Instead, if you want a flatter stomach, you need to concentrate on more natural foods such as lean meat, fruits and vegetables.
The next most important factor to be considered is muscle retention. In emphasizing this point, let us bear in mind that we must not starve the body so as to lower its calorie intake and lose stomach fat in the process. The body needs calories to utilize proteins to build muscle and to burn fat! This is when healthy fats or good cholesterol come in. These fats are both high in calories and also increase metabolism to utilize protein and burn fat during exercise.
The next factor is calorie deficit. Excess calories in the diet leads to the storage of carbohydrates as fat, especially concentrated around the belly. Eating more lean protein instead of more carbohydrates and eating more vegetables which contain more fiber help control hunger associated during the low-calorie states of the body. Vegetables also contain nutrients which help boost the immune system since dieting can lower one’s resistance to infection.
All these diet factors will continue to be effective when they are couples with exercise. Daily exercise burns fat which has already been stored in the body. The low-calorie diet will then fill the body with proteins, good fats and nutrients, thus shaping your body the way you want it to be.
Yes, you have the power over your belly. There is still hope for you to get that perfect figure. With the right diet and adequate exercise, you are sure to lose those unwanted pounds and keep it off!

Almost all of us want to achieve that perfect body. We want to achieve that supermodel look and that macho image so that people may admire us and boost our self confidence. Yet, even though we are aware that a perfect body is only created with rigorous exercise and strict dieting, we want to have the no-sweat approach.
Yes, it is hard to achieve that perfect-7 body, especially that the market is teeming with high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. Sadly, the tasty, mouth-watering menus are those which are loaded with bad cholesterol and hundreds of carbohydrates. And a fat stomach diet has disastrous effects on our health such as higher risks for stroke, cardiovascular disease and adult-onset diabetes. There are numerous ways on how to remove fat off stomach however most of these ways are either too expensive, too depriving so as to make us go hungry most of the time, or too time-consuming so that we cannot add it to our daily routine.
However recent studies of food experts claim that not all foods add up to calories taken up by your body when you eat. Recent discoveries have shown that there are actually foods that help loosen up stomach fat--- and keep it off!
The foods to lose stomach fat in general, are foods which are rich in protein and good cholesterol. We know that protein helps build and repair body tissues and good fat adds fullness and volume to our face and muscles and is a good source of energy. Also, some of the foods mentioned in this article are rich in fiber to facilitate regular bowel movement and to eliminate bloating. These foods are proven to help lose belly fat—and keep it off! In addition, it is of note that a diet rich in carbohydrates should be eliminated because excess carbohydrates taken in is converted to fat which is concentrated more on the belly than in the other parts of the body.
Lean meat and poultry top the list of the foods which you can consume in moderate amounts without adding fat in your stomach. Lean meat is a good source of protein. You must be careful to choose meat which has not fatty portions. Boiled, broiled and baked meat and poultry are acceptable; avoid fried meat and poultry because of its oil content.
Fish such as salmon and tuna are also healthy options which you can feast upon without worrying for excess carbs. You can snack upon a tuna salad with veggies and low fat dressing.
Low fat milk is also another healthy snack. Not many people realize this but milk is complete food which when taken in, eliminates your craving for more food. Just be sure that you pick up the low fat or no fat variety. You can also eat low fat yogurt as dessert.
Eggs are rich in protein and good cholesterol. Studies have actually shown that eggs may actually burn fat.
Whole grain bread is allowed. Whole grain differs from wheat or white bread because it is the type of bread rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Wheat bread is processed already, so that it is stripped with its natural vitamins and minerals. White bread is worse because not only does it lack vitamins and minerals, it also is not a good source of fiber and has additives already.
Vegetables such as tomatoes, squash, onions, mushrooms, lettuce, sprouts, spinach and okra are recommended. Eat only minimal amounts of green peas, carrots, potatoes, yams, corn and pumpkins because they have “hidden” extra carbs.
Beans such as black eyed peas and pinto beans also help burn fat. If you want a healthy snack option, why not try peanuts? Peanuts are inexpensive, rich in protein, contains no carbohydrates and eliminates hunger. Just be careful to choose the less-greasy ones and the boiled ones.
Given these choices of foods, why don’t you start changing your lifestyle and make way for a sexier, lighter and more-confident you? With these foods, you can be assured—you will never go hungry again—yet you will loosen up stomach fat fast!

How dieting affects your skin

2009-02-06T23:31:00.000-08:00

The skin is the window of a person's being, just as the eyes are the window's to a person's soul. Because of this, we are obliged to take care of our skin because it makes us who WE ARE-- through it, we develop self confidence and self esteem in establishing relationships and in making us succeed in our respective jobs. Our skin affects our personality the most, so we need to take good care of it.

Among the many secrets to naturally healthy skin being promoted among general public nowadays, one of the most talked-about topics is how the food that we eat affects our skin. And we, in turn question to ourselves: do the things that we eat affect the way we look?

Yes, indeed, it is true. The food that we eat affects our skin in a great way. Many people take this fact for granted. Caring for our skin does not only involve countless hours of exfoliating your skin in front of a mirror and spending hundreds and thousands of dollars in beauty potions and treatments. The secret to a healthy skin lies in the food that we eat.

If you want a healthy, vibrant, glowing skin, here are the ingredients that will help you in your quest:

Vitamins

The skin, just like any other organ in the body needs vitamins to maintain its functions. Our skin is exposed daily to the harsh environment that we are in. Our skin cells absorb smoke, dust, heat, chemicals and pollutants which are in the air. Since our skin serves as a soldier to guard our other organs, it in turn becomes exposed and like metal, becomes tarnished and rough. Cleansing everyday is not enough; we need to protect our skin from free radicals that makes us age early. Vitamin supplementation in our food is essential, especially Vitamins C and E. You do not have to spend dollars on multivitamin tablets; these vitamins are naturally present in fruits and vegetables. Always include a portion of fruit as dessert after your main meal. Always add vegetables in your diet. Vitamin C is present in citrus fruits and Vitamin E is present in raw organic seeds such as pumpkin, sesame, sunflower and flax seeds. We suggest you take these seeds unroasted in order to preserve the Vitamin E.

Proteins

Our skin, just like any other organ, replaces the old, damaged cells with new ones. To build up and repair damaged and old tissues, it needs protein as a raw material. Include a favorable amount of meat, poultry and fish in your diet. It does not have to be plain vegetables always; you also need some lean meat to get you going.

Some Fat

Fat is not all that bad that you have to avoid it by all means. You also need small amounts of fat to use as energy. In the same way, your skin needs a small amount of fat to add some body and fullness to it. The fat underneath the skin is called the subcutaneous tissues and it serves as some sort of cushion to add fullness to the face and the whole body.

All you need to know is which fat is good and which fat is bad. The bad fats are the ones responsible for strokes, heart attacks and increased cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels. All you need are the good ones, the ones present in virgin olive oil or organic butter.

Drink lots of Water

The skin needs to be hydrated always. An adequately hydrated skin appears fresh, not dry and dull looking. Dry skin predisposes to brown skin patches and wrinkle lines faster. You don't need to drink huge amounts. All you need is to sip room-temperature water continuously throughout the day.

In addition to these essential ingredients, our weight matters most. If you are overweight and eat a lot of processed food such as white bread, chips, ice cream and packaged dinners, you will be predisposed to diabetes. In diabetes, your insulin does not work very well, so glucose builds up in the bloodstream and disperses into the skin cells, then reacts with your skin's protein and collagen, forming advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), free radicals that make you appear old. These AGEs make your skin wrinkle, sag and damaged from ultraviolet rays. Thus proper diet and exercise is necessary to prevent build-up of glucose in our system.
