WHAT IS CHOLESTEROL? Cholesterol helps produce hormones, contributes to development of brain and aids the functioning of nervous system. So one thinks that one should take cholesterol in one’s diet. Wrong. Cholesterol needed for all these functions is manufactured by liver in our body. HDL ( high density lipoprotein – a good cholesterol) can be eliminated very easily and appears to help prevent the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries (prevents heart diseases). LDL (low density lipoproteins), VLDL (very low density lipoproteins), IDL (intermediate density lipoproteins), triglycerides (fats) are bad guys. They tend to get deposited on the linings of blood vessels and can cause arteriosclerosis ( build up of plaques on arteries). Arteriosclerosis reduce the supply of blood carrying oxygen and other vital nutrients to heart and other organs. Cholesterol deposit in arteries clogs arteries and causes stroke, brain damage, etc.

10 X (Osama Bin Laden + Sadam Hussain + some Ex ) = Cholesterol. Sadam Hussain or Osama Bin Laden may be living tens of thousands of miles away, ex-spouse may be living in next town. Cholesterol is not next to you or on you but is inside you. CHOLESTEROL ( C27 . H45 . OH ) – Animal Origin.
It is found in small quantities in all animal oils and fats. It is not present in plants. It is long free acid or acid ester. It is from bile, brain, egg yolk, gall stone, etc. Cholesterol melts at 148 degree centigrade and is insoluble in water.
WHAT IS CALORIES ? It is energy required to raise one degree centigrade temperature of one kilogram water. Enzymes metabolize (break down) carbohydrates, fats and proteins and in the process energy is released as one of the reaction products. Carbohydrate and proteins release about 4 calories / gram whereas fats release about 9 calories / gram.

BACTERIA VS. VIRUS: Bacteria has one cell and considered a living body. They multiply themselves. There are thousands of different kind of bacteria – some are essential for our body (good bacteria), most are harmless and some are problematic. Virus has no cell of its own. Virus goes to cells in human body tissue. With the help of human cells, they multiply. Unless our immune system is strong to curb the viruses, they can get upper hand and can even cause death or can create hell on earth for us (HIV, AID, etc.).
Temperature Rule (to kill harmful bacteria) –
145 degree F – beef, lamb and veal steaks and roasts (medium rare).
160 degree F – Hamburger, meat loaf, pork, veal or lamb, pork chops, ribs, roasts, egg dishes.
165 degree F – ground turkey and chicken, stuffing and casseroles, leftovers.
170 degree F – chicken and turkey breasts.
180 degree F – whole chicken or turkey, legs, thighs and wings, duck and goose.

If you are going to live 90 years of which last 20 years in bed, you can avoid that. If you are going to live 75 years you can add 5 to 10 more years. A car can run on nonradials but it runs better on radials. Geo runs but BMW runs better. 85 octane works but 92 octane works better. If you are thinking to live 200 years, get out of this site. Please close the door on your way out.
Think about Ted Turner, Bill Gate and Donald Trumph. They keep working on several fronts. Successful projects dump money in their accounts. They do not check their bank accounts on daily or even monthly basis. Like that pay attention to your diet and it will pay to your health.

To understand your body, drive around with your eyes open. When you see a junkyard, try to get at high elevation and look at it from elevation. You will see different colored, shaped, sized cars. Our body is nothing but a junk yard.
First – If you follow all recommendations (made by doctors, dieticians, etc.) you may need an elephant size appetite and diet. You can not do that. If not it would be specifically for your one problem only.
Second – In reality it is not easy because you need to work. If you become food fanatic you can not work and pay for it. The stress will kill you.

Third – If you are on welfare you can not afford it. If you are not on welfare (part of 70% world population) then you need to work to feed the worthless socialist government – to bomb Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Granada, Nicaragua, Panama, Japan, etc.
Fourth – Advising, writing, reading, etc. is one thing. Availability is reality. Brazil, California and Florida provide oranges year round (you can find oranges in Montana) but how can you find hundreds of vegetables and fruits (other than potatoes and onions) in month of January in supermarket of South Dakota?
If you believe in GOD, GOD’s theory is very simple.
(1) Nobody lives for 200 years.
(2) Let hem live the way they want with respective accountability. Its like putting kids to college. Upon graduation they find their own job, place to live, person to live with, etc. They get the way they pursue.
I drove 1982 Sentra for >18 years. During its life it had seen hundreds of Jaguars and BMWs on roadsides waiting for ambulances (tow trucks). It was better than going and going and going type until my daughter forced it to hug a tree. When I took it to its final destination (auto wreck) it had plenty of company of younger beauties. Why did it aged so nicely ? I changed oil every 3000 miles or every 3 months (as recommended). I had transmission service every two years. Same thing with antifreeze (every year), replaced gas filter, kept proper air pressure in tires, etc.
WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE? For thousands of problems there is no answer in conventional medicine and as a result millions of people suffer. Alternative medicine includes ayurvedic medicine, homeopathic medicine, herbal therapy, chiropractic, message therapy, vitamin therapy, yoga, acupressure, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, biofeedback and naturopathy.

AYURVEDA: Ayurvedic (medicines based on plants, vegetables, herbs, fruits, roots, etc.) is not a voodoo thing once thought by western world. Now western world is finding answers in ayurvedics for their dead end situations. In Sunskrit ( a language of Hinduism, one of the oldest language) Ayurveda means “Science of life and longevity” based on premise that health is a state of balance among physical, emotional and spiritual systems. It’s medical approach is based on nature (botanical – plants’ roots, leaves, seeds, barks and fruits). Yoga, meditation, etc. are part of the total spectrum. In the past (for hundreds of years) Ayurveda told public to take dry ginger powder in honey. It could not and there was no need to explain antioxidant theory associated with dry ginger and better immune system with honey. Secondly, Ayurvedic is different. It always works for long term and permanent solutions – not for quick fix. In India there are numerous accredited universities (just like medical institutes) and are now cropping up in western world.
HOMEOPATHY: German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann discovered that cinchona bark which contained quinine at that time a well known remedy for fever and malaria. He found that while cinchona produced fever in healthy individuals, it relieved fever in people with malaria. Meaning what causes the same symptoms in healthy body can work against it in lower doses.

WHAT IS CANCER? Normal healthy cells grow, mature, divide and replace themselves in an orderly way. Some times cells lose their ability to control their growth and begin to multiply abnormally and develop their own network of blood vessels that siphon nourishment from the body’s blood supply (like parasites). Strong immune system destroy these cells or can reprogram them back to normal functioning. However, if the immune system is severely weakened, it can not destroy or reprogram them (cancerous cells have upper hand) and they form tumors. If the cancerous cells do not spread beyond the tissue or organ where they originated, it is called localized or benign cancer. When cancerous cells are not localized but they enter into blood stream and forms colonies (tumors) in different organs is called malignant cancer. Malignant cancer draws nutrients and release toxins into the blood system and organs they establish colony in and interfere with the normal functioning of those organs so that serious illness and death ensue. Malignant tumors spreads much faster and are usually fatal. There are more than 100 types of cancers but are classified into five – (1) Carcinoma tumors that form in tissues that cover or line internal organs. These are most common type (90% of the total cancers) and it includes cancers of intestine, lung, breast, prostate and skin cancers. (2) Sarcomas originate in connective tissues and muscles, cartilage, lymph system, etc. They are smallest number are usually fatal. (3) Myelomas form in the plasma. cells of bones marrow. (4) Lymphomas are the cancers of lymph glands found in groin, neck, spleen and armpits. (5) Leukemias are tumors that form in the tissues of bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes. They are characterized by an overproduction of white cells. CULPRITS: Free Radicals (Peroxides, Hydroxyl, Super Oxides, etc.). Tissues are like world made up of numerous countries. Cell is like states, provinces, counties, cities, towns, etc.in an individual country. Molecules are like people in an individual community. Free radicals is like diggers, white collar suckers, politicians, parasites, criminals, etc. FREE RADICALS: Human body contains over 100 trillion cells. If you have penny per your cell you will be over 5 times richer than world’s richest man Mr. Bill Gate. Trillions (1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000.00) of free radicals attack billions of cells per day. OXIDATION: Two sides. It’s a trap. Without oxidation you die. With Oxidation you die. Oxygen (21% in air) causes oxidation. We breath n continuous basis not to get nitrogen (>70%) or carbon Dioxide. Our blood needs oxygen on continuous basis otherwise we die. Oxygen is key to our metabolism – we eat food that has fuel. Oxygen converts fuel into energy. We need energy to stay alive. Other side – Oxidation also causes production of free radicals. Billions of them with life span of one billionth of a second. They attack molecules and hereby to cells and tissues. If so how come human exist at all in first place. Because (1) God cells out number bad cells and keep on discarding it. (2) Not all free radical attacks are successful in damaging the molecules. Its like walking thru fire works or welding process (thousands of sparks). Most would not burn you but one or two will get you. (3) Our body produce antioxidants which antagonize free radicals. BLOCKING AGENTS: Excet few pockets, smoking is increasing worldwide. Look at your portfolio. Investment in tobacco related industry is almost tripling. People hate smoke and breath of smokers. But smoke is not the real culprit. Smoke contains Benzoprene (inactive carcinogen). Enzymes in our own body convert it into Benzoprene Epoxide (deadly carcinogen). Should we blame our enzyme system ? No. They are good guys making honest mistakes (like computers). We can stop enzymes from activating the inactive carcinogens. How? Antioxidants can do that. Examples – Japan has highest rate of smoking but lowest rate of lung cancer. Japanese drink tea which contains polyphenols (blocks inactive carcinogens from being active / deadly). Millions of people n India smoke (most of them are chain smokers). If they all die of lung cancer, India will have lowest population in next decade or so. But India is biggest producer and consumer (millions of pounds per year) of curcumin (turmeric in cooking / curry). IMPOSSIBLE - In 1800 coal miners had largest share of lung cancer because they inhaled coal dust that had Benzoprene but coal is here to stay because is the second largest source. Pesticides, a live or die scenario for farmers. Without pesticides entire crop can be wiped out overnight. Its like ashes of the house within few hours of fire. Food additives contain Nitrite – a food preservative. It is a precarcinogen (inactive) but it gets converted into deadly carcinogen in the body (nitrosamine). Bu it’s a trillion dollar industry with millions employed. Pollution from auto effluents. Hundreds of car makers, millions employed. You will be loony to start a movement for horse buggy.
LUCKY BREAK: Cell deterioration starts in several progressive stages like – Initiation, Promotion, Progression, Spread (Metastasis). RADIATION: People living around or working with X-rays, nuclear power stations, electromagnetic fields (high voltage power lines), have high rate of contracting cancer. GOOD NEWS – You can move from the area or change your job.(Odorless, tasteless gas, a product of natural breakdown of radium or uranium present in soil). Radon gas concentration is very high in NH, PA, NJ, CO, FL. GOOD NEWS – There is a procedure to bypass rado gas from your house and let it dissipate in air. ULTRAVIOLET (UV) FROM SUN – Sun light contains UV radiation but Ozone (O3) , a natural filter, filters most UV before the sunlight hits earth. But Ozone layer is getting thinner (Ozone depletion) and as a result more UV is getting thru. WHAT IS CAUSING THE DEPLETION OF OZONE LAYER ? Chlorofluoro carbons ( used in aerosol spray, antifreeze, refrigerators, etc.). GOOD NEWS – You wouldn’t die without air-conditioning. You look beautiful without aerosols. Everybody knows you got beautiful parts. Cover it. Compared to US household which uses about 100 aerosols per year, a household in third world uses only 1 or 2 aerosols per year. Going to artificial tanning ? One can’t be that dumb.
GOVERNMENTS (WORLDWIDE): You pay a dollar to pay penny’s worth (Remember Pentagon paid $250 /hammer in Regan era ?). You sharpen knife or buy a gun for your enemy to shoot at you. If you question whether I am an antigovernment fanatic, I wonder where you have been (on marsh?). PBB – In mid 1970’s a large batch of wholesale chemical feed in Michigan was accidentally mixed with the fire – retardant PBB (polybrominated biphynyl). Before the mistake was discovered (if you can buy this you definitely need vitamins and minerals), cows all over the state had been contaminated and farm families who regularly consumed PBB tainted milk and meat had symptoms like weight loss, fatigue, loss of hair, aching joints, etc. One study showed that many Michigan women - not just farmers’ wives – had PBB in their breast milk. MAD COW DISEASE - For years UK government kept mad cow disease under the rug. When pile under the rug became too big for the rug to hold, the government removed the lid. Even the government openly gave an accuse that meat was one of the biggest industry in UK and millions of dollars and thousands of businesses depended on it (UK is the biggest meat exporter to Europe). Certain bacteria, virus, chemicals, artificial hormones, antibiotics, etc. survive in animals and wind up in our body. Do you want to eat now and hear about it in 2020? GOOD NEWS – Cut down on heavy meats like steak, bacon, etc. To my knowledge Wisconsin is not allowing to use artificial hormones to boost milk production. Argentina is not using artificial hormones to increase the weight of cattle. POLITICIANS – During the out break of AIDS, president Reagan did one of the biggest disservice to mankind. President Reagan’s administration was heavily influenced by religious fanatics who believed that AID was connected with alternative life style and it was GOD’s punishment. What a dumbness! SUPPLEMENTS – Pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars developing drugs. Then they have to prove to FDA that it’s safe. Then FDA approves it as a prescription drug. For supplements (>29,000 of them, >700 million dollar / year market) it goes directly from the manufacturers to market. FDA has to prove that a supplement is unsafe before it can order to remove from the market. How did this happen ? Lobbyists of supplement marketers bought congress which exempted (1994 law) supplement makers from having to prove their products are safe before putting in the market. Supplements like Chaparral, Chromium Picolinate, Glucosamine, Saw Palmetto, Melatonin, Sharl Cartilage, Metabolife, etc. are causing some major health problems and the FDA is asked to look into them. LAND OF ANALYSTS – We in west are becoming expert of analysis. On September 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked on US soil, it was an act of underpaid, low educated vs. FBI, CBI, Pentagon, (billions of dollar per budget).INS - what a joke! Terrorists were not only in USA but were in and out of USA numerous times. FAA is puppet of airline industry. After it was done successfully, we got >50,000 experts telling us the story. Bill Clinton may be mad at Osama Bin Laden for not doing it earlier during Monaca scandal Our pharmaceutical labs can churn out defective products (numerous recalls) and most with side effects. But nature’s lab is undoubtedly perfect. As matter of fact numerous most effective drugs are not made in labs but are derived from nature like Morphine and Codeine come from poppy seeds (widely used in sweets in India in its raw form for centuries), Digitalis (heart tonic) comes from Floxglove flowers, Texol (chemotherapeutic Agent) comes from Yew tree, Quinine (antimalerial drug) comes from barks of cinchone tree, and >150 others.
Breast Cancer – Risk factor includes family history of breast cancer, early onset of menstruation, late menopause, use of oral contraceptives or postmenopausal estrogen, never having children or having children at late age.
Prostate Cancer – Risk factors include advancing age (after 65) and high fat diet.
Colon / Rectum Cancer – Risk factor includes family history, inflammatory bowel diseases, physical inactivity, high fat or low fiber diet.
Ovarian Cancer – Risk factor includes never having children, family history, etc.
Skin Cancer – Risk factor includes heavy exposure to UV light, fair skin, heavy exposure to coal tar, pitch, creosote, arsenic compounds or radium.
Lung Cancer – Risk factors include smoking, exposure to arsenic, radon, asbestos, radiation.
Urinary / Bladder Cancer – Risk factors include living in urban areas, working in dyes, rubber and leather industries, smoking.
Pancreas Cancer – Risk factors include high fat diet and smoking.
Mouth / Tongue / Throat cancer – Risk factors include smoking and alcohol abuse.
Cervix Cancer – Risk factors include smoking, sexually transmitted infections, early first intercourse, multiple partners or partner with multiple partners.

WHAT ARE ALKALOIDS? Alkaloids are nitrogenous heterocyclic (sometimes several rings with very complicated ring structure) organic compounds of plant origin having powerful physiological effects. There are numerous alkaloids. They are almost impossible to synthesize in lab and are valuable therapeutic agents. Some of them are highly toxic to living organisms and some are extremely beneficial to humans. To name a few are nicotine from tobacco, Quinine from Cinchona bark, Cocaine from Coca leaf.


ALKYLGLYCEROL (AKG).
Why do sharks live more than 100 years and can not have cancer ? STUDY – Northern fishermen in Europe used shark oil as health enhancing agent for centuries. Swedish pharmaceutical company found AKG in shark liver. In human breast milk 0.1% of the fat content is AKG whereas in shark liver oil it is 20 to 30%. Human breast milk contains about 10 times more AKG than cow milk. This is the reason no human cow and human calf should leave home without it.

SQUALENE IN SHARK LIVER OIL AND OLIVE OIL.
As far as fat in diet is concerned women in north America consume as much fat as European women do but women around Mediterranean region have lowest breast cancer rate because of high consumption of olive oil. Olive oil contains about 72% oleic acid ( monounsaturated fatty acid). Beef and poultry contains oleic acid (about 45% of fat). Corn, Palm, Soybean, Sunflower, etc. contains Oleic acid.

FIBER (LIGNAN and PECTIN):
What a broom! Brooms come in varieties – thin, thick, cotton thread, nylon thread, longer, shorter, coarser, fine, soft, etc. So is the fibers in foods. In addition fiber in food is like tack cloth. Fibers found in plants include cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectins, gums, mucilage from whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Some are water soluble whereas others are water insoluble (oil soluble). Water soluble ones are barley, flaxmeal, oat, oat bran, citrus fruits, apple, carrots, beans. Water insoluble ones are wheat bran, corn bran, celery, skin of fruits and root vegetables. Dr. Denis Burkitt (a british surgeon who spent 20 years working in Africa was the first scientist to recognize the importance of fiber in the diet. The third world countries consume 2 ½ times more fiber in their diet than the western world do. 37 grams of fiber / day is required to stay healthy. A cup of 100% bran cereal , one apple, one potato and ½ a cup of cooked spinach would supply 37 grams of fiber. Bran (outer brownish skin of wheat) removed by the miller contains 44% fiber whereas the whole Wheat bread contains 8 to 11% fiber. Add one tablespoon wheat bran to fruits or vegetables or breakfast. Switch to whole wheat bread. Switch to fiber rich cereals. STUDY – Study done in Uruguay and Finland concluded that women with high fiber diet has lowest breast cancer. LIGNAN – Flax seed oil contains lignan. Lignan changes (in the body) into enterolactone and enterodiol – most effective against breast cancer. CAUTION: Flax seed oil (Linseed Oil) should be stored in colored bottle or plastic jar and should be refrigerated. The oil oxidizes very easily and should be used in salad or raw. The oil should not be used in high temperature cooking. PECTIN – Water soluble fibers. It derived from cell walls of citrus fruits. MYTH – Fibers contain phytate which grabs vital minerals. So too much fiber in diet sweeps the vital minerals out from the body.

FLAVONOIDS:
Wheat, barley and alfa alfa juices and powders are rich in flavonoids compounds that have wide variety of beneficial effects – antiviral, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. One flavonoid in young barley leaves is called glycosyl isovitexin – most powerful antioxidant. Chlorophyllin – the sodium and copper salt of chlorophyll (anticancer agent) is abundantly present in all grass juices.

ANTIOXIDANTS:
PICNOGENOL (Pine Bark Tea): Picnogenol is 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E. Picnogenol is water soluble so it moves freely in body thru bloodstream. PROANTHOCYANIDINS (Grape Seed Extract): Lowers cholesterol levels and reduce the size of arterial cholesterol deposits. COLLEGANS: What is collegan ? It is a linkage (like mortar holds bricks) that holds cells and tissues together. Collegans degrade on aging and that is the reason our skin sags on aging. Picnogenol is the most effective substance for maintaining the integrity of collegans. STUDY –University of Nottingham, England – Picnogenol (Proanthocyanidins) one of the best free
radical scavenger. Picnogenol blocks benzoprene (inactive carcinogen present in smoke) from being converted into Diol Epoxide of benzoprene (most deadly carcinogen). ALPHALIPOIC ACID: It is available in red meat and yeast. I is soluble in both oil and water. This means it can get into tissues and can move freely in the body thru blood streams. PAGE 6 OF 21

UBIQUINONE: It is manufactured in the body but decline substantially after 40 to 50 year age. STUDY – Dr. Kennel Lockwood, Copenhagen, Denmark – woks against Breast cancer. University of Texas – Works against AIDS.

RESVERATROL: Present in red wine and peanuts. However peanuts contains aflatoxin which is inactive carcinogen (harmful to body). Red wines from cold and damp regions (like France, Canada, etc.) contains more Resveratrol than red wines made from grapes grown in warmer climate like California, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. STUDY – French consume as much fat as Americans do and smoke more yet have HEART DISEASES less than 50% compared to Americans. University of Illinois – Resveratrol prevents SKIN cancer.

GARLIC, ONIONS, SCALLIONS, LEEKS THIOLALLYL SULFUR CONTAINING COMPONDS Thiolallyl Sulfur containing compounds such as S-allyl cystein, S-Allylmercapto cysteine, Diallyl sulphide. Garlic Extract has more of these compounds than fresh garlic. STUDY – University of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy – People in Sardinia (Southern Italy) ate 5 to 10 times more garlic than people in northern Italy. People in Sardinia area has substantially less stomach cancer. A Chinese study – China’s Shandong region consumes most garlic and has lot less STOMACH cancer than others. Dr. Robert Lin – Garlic kills bacteria which converts nitrites (present in fod we eat) into Nitrosamine (a deadly carcinogen). University of Texas, Pennsylvania State University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NY – Garlic works against breast, colon, skin, stomach, and prostate cancers. Poona Medical College, India, Tagore Medical College in Udaipur, India – Garlic is a natural inhibitor of clotting. Platelet clumping (heart attack) is decreased in direct proportion of garlic consumption. Garlic reduces cholesterol level.

FATTY ACIDS (OMEGA 3 OILS, ALPHA LINOLENIC ACID )
SATURATED FATS – Bad, Bad, Bad. Liver uses saturated fats to manufacture cholesterol. Source –
Whole milk, cream cheese, butter, fatty meats like steak, veal, lamb, pork and ham, vegetables like coconut oil, kennel oil, Palm oil, vegetable shortenings.
POLYUNSATURATED FATS – OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS – Good guy. It works against cancer and CARDIOVASCULAR diseases. Source – Vegetable oils like Flax seed oil, Hemp seeds, Cattail seeds, walnut oil, Fish like Salmon, Mackerel, eel, tuna, hering, halibut, cod, Sardines. STUDY – University of California, Berkley, CA, USA – Omega 3 fatty acids are good to fight cancers. Eskimo Study – North Americans have more cancer than Eskimos because Eskimos consume more omega 3 oils (from fish) plus fish from colder region has more Omega 3 Oil. British and 24 European Countries – Where fish consumption (omega 3 oil) is high, there the cancer rate is low especially BREAST and COLON cancers. Finland study – Women with BREAST cancer had much lower concentration of DHA and EPA (Omega 3 oil) in their breast tissues. Japanese study – Omega 3 oils works against PROSTATE cancer. OMEGA 6 FATTY ACIDS – Bad guy. Increased risk of cancer. Reduce cholesterol (both the good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL).Source – Corn, cotton, safflower, sunflower oils. ALPHA LINOLENIC ACID: SOURCE- Flex seeds, Hemp Seeds, Cattail Seeds, etc. CAUTION – These oils should be used raw. It should not be used in cooking and should be stored in dark colored bottles and should be refrigerated. These oils are best against BREAST cancer protection.
MONOSATURATED FATTY ACIDS – Good guy. It works against cancer and cardiovascular Diseases. Source – Olive oil, Peanut oil.
TRANS FATTY ACIDS – Very very bad. Causes heart diseases and cancer. Source – Hydrogenated oils (Margarine). STUDY – Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA – 85,000 nurses were studied. Trans fatty acids (Margarine) – It is hydrogenated vegetable oil. It has two negative effects. It reduces good cholesterol (LDL) and increases bad cholesterol (HDL).

ISOFLAVONES (GENISTEIN, DIADZEN, GLYCITIN)
SOURCE – Soy (best source) THEORY – Cancer cells needs blood supply. Like parasites that feed on host plants, bureaucrats in socialist regime that feeds on tax payers, etc., the cancer cells start to create their own pipe lines to tap into our main blood lines. This is called Angiogenesis. Genistein stops this illegal activity and suphocate the cancer cells. STUDY – Western men Vs. Eastern men were studied. Prostate cancer in both groups was very much same. But fatal prostate cancer was much higher in western men group (higher fat consumption) than in asian men group (high in vegetable and so consumption). Hawaiian study – 8000 americans with Japanese ancestry (who consumed TOFU – Soy) were studied and found that they have the lowest PROSTATE cancer rate. Chinese study – in Sanghai, china women consumed most soy have lowest BREAST cancer rate. University of Milan, Italy – Women ook Genistein (soy) had lowest BREAST cancer. Scientists compared prostate cancer rate in Japanese and Finish men and found it lowest in Japanese group. Urine Analysis – When urine of women was analyzed, Japanese urine contained 2000 to 3000 nanomolar / day of Senistein, Diadzen (present in Soy) whereas that of American women was 30 to 40 nanomolar / day. STATISTICS- In America 22.4 / 100,000 die of BREAST cancer VS. 6 / 100,000 in Japan. In America 15.7 / 100,000 die of PROSTATE cancer VS. 3.5 / 100,000 in Japan.

FLAVANOIDS (GINKGO BILOBA):
Flavanoids enhances functioning of adrenal, thyroid glands and central nervous system (improves memory). It improves the flow of blood to the brain. It is free radical scavenger and has antioxidant activity (anticancer). It is also antiaging. Ginkgo Biloba is an ancient Chinese tree whose leaves contains flavanoids. It also prevents platelet aggregation and thereby reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases. Wheat, barley and alfa alfa juices are rich in flavonoids compounds that have wide variety of beneficial effects – antiviral, antitumor and anti-inflammatory. One flavonoid in young barley leaves is called glycosyl isovitexin – most powerful antioxidant. Chlorophyllin – the sodium and copper salt of chlorophyll (anticancer agent) is abundantly present in all grass juices.

CAROTENOIDS (LYCOPRENE, LUTEIN, XEAXANTHNIN)
There are more than 500 carotenoids. Lets not get into it. They all are good. Liver converts carotenoids into Vitamin A. Carotenoids helps proper splitting of T cells (solders of the body). Carotenoids contain pigments that are soluble in fat means they house in tissues meaning healthy skin. LYCOPRENE – Source – Tomatoes, carrots, apricots, paprika, pink grape fruits, water melon. STUDY - Israel study (47,000) indicates lycoprene (present in tomatoes) reduces PROSTATE cancer. European Study – People with high lycoprene had lowest heart attacks. CAUTION - Lycoprene (in tomatoes) are locked in and our digestive system is very weak to unlock it. It is adviseable to eat cooked or processed tomatoes where lycoprene is unlocked from its skin, tissues, fibers, etc. LUTEIN and XEAXNTHIN – Source – Yellow fruits and Vegetables like Kah, collard green, spinach, yellow squash, corn, etc. They are best against BREAST cancer.
AMINO ACIDS (ARGININE, GLUTAMINE ): There are more than 20 types of amino acids. Most are manufactured by our body. ARGENINE – Good to prevent COLORECTAL cancer. GLUTAMINE – Good to protect LIVER. It also reduces craving for ALCOHOL, SUGAR and CARBOHYDRATE (OBESITY). It prevents physical wasting.

CHLOROPHYLL – Green leafy vegetables (mainly Spinach and lettuce) contains chorophyll which lowers mutagenic activity of known cancer causing agents. Chlorophyll is of huge branch of chemistry and is for chemist, not us, to worry about. Following knowledge is sufficient for us. Chemically they are polyhydroxy (more than one -OH group) aldehydes (-CHO compound ) and ketones ( -C=O compound). They are derived from plant kingdom. Plants absorbs Carbon Dioxide from air and water from ground. Carbon Dioxide and Water are converted into Carbohydrate by sun light and chlorophyll (Magnesium present in green leaves). The reaction product is not only carbohydrate but also Oxygen which is back in the air for animal kingdom (including humans). So it is dumb not to respect the plant kingdom and ignoring it’s important role in our existence ( I am conservative but not moron. I am liberal but not crazy).
Secondly the carbohydrates when subjected to enzyme in the body, several nutrients are produced which are needed for the good health of humans.

MINERALS

Minerals are classified into two based on their requirements. Macronutrients like Calcium, Phosphorous, Sodium, Potasium, Sulfur, Chloride. Trace minerals like selenium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Iodine, Chromium, Molybdanum, Boron, Silicon, Vanadium, etc. Why do we need minerals ? Minerals are essential part of enzymes involved in biochemical and physiological processes and helps transport oxygen to cells. Why do we need supplements for minerals ? Most minerals are present in food we eat but there are two reasons why we should take supplements (1) Our culture changed. You may have heard the words like chelating, bonding, reacting, complexing, etc. that cause the mineral deficiency ( make it inactive, flush out, etc.). We eat variety of foods (canned foods, harmonized meat, hybridized grains, fruits, vegetables, etc.). (2) Did the previous generations ever knew that Trace minerals are source from land thru crops. Middleeast lands are deficient in zinc. Lands of Finland, Serbia, USA, New Zealand, China are deficient in Selenium. CALCIUM: Calcium is essential for bones, proper heart rate, healthy skin, muscule contraction, energy production, nerve coordination, blood coagulation and immune system. Calcium prevents Colon Cancer. CAUTION - Excessive drinking of cola products drains calcium from the body. Calcium absorption requires Vitamin D. Calcium reacts with Oxalic acid and forms calcium oxalate. Body has hard time to grab calcium from calcium oxalate. Beet greens, spinach and chard have eight times more oxalic acid than calcium and are not good source of calcium. On the other hand kales, collards, broccoli, mustard, turnip, greens, broccoli contains 42 times more calcium than oxalic acid making them supurb source of calcium. STUDY - Japanese consume too much salt. Salt causes proliferation of stomach causing stomach cancer. Japanese consuming large quantities of calcium prevents stomach cancer. SOURCE - Shrimps, Salmon, shardine. Dairy products, almond, brazil nuts, filberts, molasses, Soya beans, green leafy vegetables like Broccoli, collard, dandalion, spinach, broccoli. Best source of calcium is calcium citrate – most and most easy absorption of calcium and no kidney stone. DOSAGE - 1000 milligrams / day.

ZINC: Zinc helps get carbon Dioxide from tissues to lungs. It enhence cell division, repair and their growth. Zinc accelerates head injury healing and is responsible for brain coordination (emotions, thoughts, feelings). Zinc also prevents Kidney, prostate and digestive tract cancers. Its deficiency causes wound heeling, rashes, retarded growth, multiple skin lesions, diminished learning capacity, mutation of brain, reduces T cell production (Solders to fight bacteria and viruses ) and weakens immune system ( protection against HIV, AID), blood sugar control (protection against Diabetic), functioning of male sex organs (low sperm count), adequate sense of smell and taste. SOURCE - For nonveg people – Lean beef, oyster, pork, turkeys, fish, eggs yolk, poultry. For vegetarians - Beans, mushrooms, yeast, whole grains products, wheat bran, wheat germ, sun flower seeds, soya beans, nuts milk, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds. CAUTION - Calcium prevents absorption of Zinc so Zinc should not be taken with Calcium. Foods like rice, soy, beans attach to zinc and thereby prevents its absortion. DOSAGE - 15 milligrams / day.

SELENIUM: Selenium prevent free radical formation (anticancer). Selenium prevents Liver, Colon, Stomach, Cervical and Prostate cancers. Its deficiency can cause Peridontal diseases and yeast infection. STUDY - China (especially Linxian region ( land deficient in selenium) has much higher cancer rate than Japan ( land rich in selenium). In USA land of Georgia and Carolinas are extremely low in selenium and has highest rate of cancer (known as stroke belt of USA). Compared to South Dakota, Ohio land is lower in selenium and has higher rate of cancer. SOURCES - Sea foods like Tuna, Lobster, beef, turkey, egg yolk.

VITAMIN C
(ASCORBIC ACID): It is required for collagen and fibrous tissues, for intermolecular matrices in teeth, bones, cartilage, connective tissues and skin and for structural integrity of capillary walls. It strengthens immune system. It acts as an antioxidant and prevents cancers like throat, mouth, pancreas, stomach, cervix, rectum, breast, skin cancers. Vitamin C lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and strengthens HDL (good cholesterol). NOTE: Body expels excess of Vitamin C so it has no known harmful effects. SOURCE: Citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, barriers, fresh green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, kiwi, sweet peppers, cantaloupe, turnip greens, parsley, collards, brussel sprouts, etc.

INOSITOL (HEXAHYDROXYCYCLOHEXANE): It cures loss of hair. SOURCE: liver, kidney, brain, muscle, etc.




CHOLINE( TRIMETHYLETHANOL AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE):
It is constituent of lecithin. It helps transport of fat in the body. SOURCE: brain, liver, kidney, egg yolk, etc.





PARA-AMINOBENZOIC ACID:
It’s deficiency causes growth retardation and graying of hairs. SOURCE: yeast and liver.

FATS: They are esters of trihydric alcohols and fatty acids. Fatty acids can be any of more than 20 kinds. Enzymes in the body breaks fats into alcohol and fatty acids. Fatty acids with unsaturated moity have nutritional value. Oleic acid (from olive oil) has one C=C. Linoleic Acid (from corn oil) has two C=C. Linolenic acid (from Linseed oil) has three C=C. Fatty acids with saturated acids have detergent value and are generally bad for health. Butyric acid in butter, Lauric acid in coconut oil, stearic acid in vegetable and animal fats. Phospholipids are present (Lecithin) in every tissue of the body but especially in the nervous system. Source – Soyabean oil, egg yolk, organ meats like liver, brain, etc. They are good emulsifing agents and aid in the absorption and transport of fatty acids in the body as well as serving as a source of phosphoric acid for the synthesis of cells. Best to Worst - Monosaturated Fats >> Polysaturated Fats > Trans Fats > Saturated Fats.

HORMONES: They are organic compounds produced by endocrine glands Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, testes, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) and carried by the blood to other glands, organs, tissues where they exert their action. They are called chemical messengers. Hormone chemistry is one of huge segments of chemistry as a whole. Let us leave it to chemists. Lets keep our body healthy and in turn they will produce hormones for our body.

ENZYMES: Its like Cadillac with everything in A1 condition except gas. Without gas it would not start or run. Enzymes are produced by cells. So by securing healthy cell system we can secure healthy enzyme system. They are responsible for numerous chemical reactions taking place inside our body. Enzymes are catalysts ( Note – There is a difference between catalysts and enzymes but is for chemists). Factors affecting enzyme activity rate are concentration of substrate (our diet), concentration of enzymes, temperature, PH and accumulation of end products. Accelerators of enzymes include metallic ions like Fe (+2), Fe(+3), Co(+2), Zn(+2), Mn(+2), Mg(+2) and Mo(+2). Inhibitors of enzymes include toxins like cyanide compounds, formaldehyde, chloroform, arsenic compounds, carbon tetrachloride, heavy metals like silver, mercury, etc. Other inhibitors include antibiotics and antimetabolites. When our body is over powered by foreign materials (virus, bacteria, etc.) we have to take antibiotics or antimetabolites to control or kill them. At the same time our enzyme system is weakened but is ok for a short run to get upper hand over foreign materials.
PROTEINS: Proteins are complex nitrogeneous substances of high molecular weight. Proteins are fundamental constituents of all living cells and are essential to growth and repair of the tissues. Just to get an idea about complexity of proteins, there are more than 20 varieties of amino acids giving possibility of numerous proteins. Protein is like a wall and amino acids are like individual bricks. SOURCE – nuts like almonds, Pistachio, walnut, chest nut, peacan, etc. and seeds like sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.

NUCLEOPROTEINS: They are manufactured in the body. They are the chief constituents of genes (the carriers of hereditary characteristics). And viruses which cause infectious diseases like smallpox, influenza, mups, AIDS, etc.

CARBOHYDRATES:
It is one of huge branch of chemistry and is for the chemists to worry about. Following knowledge is sufficient for us. Chemically they are polyhydroxy (more than one –OH group) aldehyde (-CHO compound) and kotone (-C=O compound). They are derived from plant kingdom. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from air and water from ground. Carbon dioxide and water is converted into carbohydrate by sun light and chlorophyll (Magnesium present in green leaves). The reaction product is not only carbohydrate but also oxygen which is back in the air for animal kingdom (including humans). So it is dumb not to respect that plant kingdom and ignoring it’s important role in our existence (I am conservative but not moron. I am liberal but not crazy). Secondly the crbohydrates when subjected to enzymes in our body, several nutrients are produced which are needed for the good health of humans.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:

It is first and most vital thing. Weak immune system (due to toxins, malnutrition, improper diet, etc.) is the initiation of any kind of health problem one can have. Toxins are harmful to our lungs, blood and body tissues. It is a defense system of the body. It is a president Reagan theory – if Russia has 400 warheads, USA should have 420 warheads ant 380 warheads. USA scooped up Granada, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Combodia, Basnia, Panama, etc. Israel scooped up Palestine, China scooped up Tibet, Russia scooped up eastern Europe. In 18 century England scooped up majority of African countries. Compare their defense system. On the other hand Saudi Arabia is openly supporting jihad (suicide bombers) giving them $25,000 individually. China and Japan sometimes dump as much as 70 billion dollar worth of goods causing economic chaos in USA. What we doing is sending a team of negotiators. Fortunately our body has built in defense system to fight foreign invasion (toxins) However, compared to last generation (50 to 100 years ago) we are drowning in hundreds of toxins. As a result our immune system needs help. Clean air contais 21% Oxygen, 78% Nitrogen and 1% trace amounts of seven other gases. Double edge sword effect - Toxins in air means less than 21% Oxygen air. Toxins are harmful to our body. Secondly we breath more / harder / faster to get enough Oxygen meaning more toxins. Toxins include air toxins like NO, NO2, CO, CO2, SO2, soot, etc. from auto, oil refineries, plants generating electricity etc., pesticides, germicides, fungicides, etc. spread on crops, 50 to 100 toxins arising from caulking to carpetings (according to EPA), radiation toxins which takes 7000 to 30,000 lives per year (according to EPA) due to lung cancer caused by radon, sun light causes skin cancer, etc. water toxins like benzene, dioxin, EDB, vinyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, etc. (according to National Institute of Cancer 12 to 27% bladder cancers were attributed to chlorinated water), home toxins like paper towels (contains formaldehyde) to cooking oil (vapors contain carcinogens) and 50 to 70 others, diet toxins like synthetic / artificial hormones used to boost milk, meat, production which wind up in our body and toxins from habits like alcolism, substance abuse, smoking, etc. Does this mean one should move to north pole ? Absolutely not. This means oil is too black in our car or lets boost octane from 85 to 92. The skin is largest organ and is first line of defense against external toxins.
The skin needs to be strong, supple and moist. The mucous membranes of eyes, nose, throat, lungs, etc. degrade toxins. Lets keep the mucous membrane system strong. Spleen contains lymphocytes which kills bacteria and cellular debris, destroys worn out cells and platelets. It holds largest reservoir of blood and releases it upon demand. Goldenseal keeps spleen strong. Liver contains >1500 functions. Zinc, Vita C, Mn, Goldenseal keeps liver strong. Kidneys remove toxins from blood for elimination of toxins as urine, reabsorb valuable nutrients that are recycled for further use in the body. Aloe Vera, Cassia (cinnamon), Rubia, Vita B-6, Mg-citrate, K-citrate, etc. keeps kidneys strong. A healthy intestine lining allows properly broken down particles of fats, proteins and starch to be assimilated into the blood. When intestine lining becomes disturbed it loses its effectiveness as a filter. Yogurt (lactobarillus acidiphilus – a natural bacteria present in yogurt) kills candida - a bacteria linked to AIDS. Garlic is an excellent fungicide for intestine. The colon contains most of the dangerous toxins in the body many of which leads to cancer, arthritis, AIDS, etc. Goldenseal, Alfaalfa, bentonite, etc. keeps colon well tuned. Lymph System – When toxins like toxic bacteria, virus, pollen, microorganisms, certain harmful chemicals, enter the body, the several organs (liver, kidney, bladder, intestine, etc.) attempt to neutralize (detoxification) them. This is done by producing specific protein molecules called antibodies and special blood cells called lymphocytes. Antibodies and lymphocytes deactivate toxins which are then removed by macrophages and phagocytic cells. Macrophage and phagocytic cells are transported throughout the body by blood vessels that run parallel to arteries and veins and drain waste products from the tissues. Goldenseal, Vita B-6, Vita –A, Vita – c, Zinc, Korean ginseng, Russian Ginseng, Licorice, keeps the lymph system strong. Bladder
hold urine. Cranberry juice keeps bladder well tuned. Exercise (particularly aerobic, yoga, meditation, etc.) keeps these organs active and thereby to their full efficiency. STRESS- stress weakens the immune system most. It’s a baggage dumped on all of us time to time and we can not do anything about it. How can you avoid a stress created by death of person close to you, divorce, jail, loss of job, loss of house, miscarriage, sexual difficulty, law sue, loss of huge finance, etc. ? Stop worrying about it (how to reduce stress). This damage is unavoidable and you have to go thru it. Hell with psychotherapy, consulting, etc. Their bills will increase the stress exponentially. To my knowledge the best therapy is to go for spirituality, readings, lonely walks, large social gatherings where you are not a focal point, etc.

BODY CLEANSING (INTERNALLY): MUSLIMS – Second largest population in the world. They tune up their body once a year. They fast for a month called month of Ramjan (7AM to 7PM – not even water). HINDU – They fast different days of a week. In addition they fast several religious days in a month. Some days they fast with special diets. BUDDHISTS – Like Christians (Baptists, catholics, mormons, etc.) they are part of hindus. They control body by timing, quality, quantity, etc. Like exercise clubs in west, numerous body cleansing clubs are cropping up in India (one month course under controlled diet, etc. – recommended once every two years, etc.).
BALANCING THEORY – In India with one billion population more than 500 million people use Peanut oil and cotton seed oil. Why ? It is abundant and therefore is low in cost. Both oils are bad (peanut oil contains aflotoxin – a precarcinogen). This means millions of people should die every year and India should have under population problem. However, wherever peanut oil is used, turmeric powder is there (as curry masala). Curcumin in turmeric powder antagonize toxicity of aflotoxin present in peanut oil and corn oil.
IMPORTANT FOR SPOUSES AND PARENTS:
Zinc deficiency – causes brain coordination (emotions, thoughts, feelings). Iron Deficiency – causes decreased attentiveness, shorter attention span, decreased persistence, decreased voluntary activities. Manganese deficiency – causes involuntary laughing. Cobalt deficiency – causes poor memory. Copper deficiency – causes learning and behavior disorder. Vitamin A (fortified milk, carrots, tomatoes, apricots, cantilopes, dark leafy and yellow vegetables, liver, eggs, fish, etc.) is necessary for maintaining healthy testicular tissue and sex hormone production.
Vitamin B-5 (whole grains, beans, nuts, peanuts, broccoli, eggs, organ meat like liver, etc.) regulates adrenal cortex and increases sexual secretions. Vitamin C (citrous fruits) is required for sexual stamina. Magnassium (raw leafy vegetables, whole grain, nuts especially almonds, cashew) plays an important role in organ sensitivity, healthy ejeculation and orgasm. Copper and Zinc (nuts, beans, raisins, corn oil, margarine, whole wheat bread, oyster, eggs, crab meat, etc.) are required to prevent impotence, dysfunctioning and infections. Large concentrations of zinc are located in male prostate and female ovaries.
Got confused and frustrated ? Do these. Eat lots of nuts and seeds. Develop habit of keeping it in open cabinets and in glass jars so whenever you see it you will crave for it plus you can keep up with inventory. Eat lots of green vegetables and fruits. Eat red meat sparingly. If you are eating meat and have a choice go for poultry. Take supplements for vitamins and minerals. Most nutrients are stored in specific organs are released on demand. Its like mortgage if you did not pay your mortgage on 1st, the lien holder can’t take your house on 2nd. Doing this you will find full house up there for quite awhile. Advertisement like “What’s for dinner? Beef is for the dinner” is looking for your company on his way up there. Do you know that MARLBORO hunk (a legend on Marlboro billboard) regret being a Marboroman and quit smoking ?
DRUG ENEMIES: “Ecstasy” (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is known as XTC or E. It affects Serotonin (transmitters), a brain chemical that regulates mood, emotion, sleep, appetite, memory and sexual behavior. Ecstasy typically induces feelings of euphoria, increased energy and sexual arousal and makes people feel a need to be touched or hugged. Higher doses causes increase in body temperature, muscle breakdown, kidney and heart failure, death, kills brain cells that release serotonin, persistent memory problem, verbal reasoning and sustaining attention. Ecstasy damages women’s brain more than men’s brain because Ecstasy is cleared from the body more quickly in the presence of testosterone present in men. GHB (Gema Hydroxy Butyrate) is legal and received by mail orders even from overseas. It is bitter in taste, reduces inhibition and enhances sexual pleasure. Higher doses causes muscle relaxation and induce sleep. Rohypnol (also called Roofies) is illegal, odorless, tasteless, causes unconsciousness and amnesia.
