Cereal Killer - by Alan L. Watson

In this explosive book, Alan Watson sheds new light on how corporate greed, government delusion, and slippery science are making our children sick and causing what the late Dr. Robert C. Atkins called "diabesity." Cereal Killer is a stinging indictment of the big cereal companies and drug industries who enjoy huge profits as Americans of all ages suffer from failed "low fat" federal nutrition guidelines and record levels of chronic disease.

Cereal Killer Answers: "Has the low fat diet failed the test of time?"

     Cereal Killer takes on the unproven hypothesis that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol cause coronary heart disease. Instead, Watson identifies the real culprits: Excess carbohydrates and the highly processed vegetable oils that have replaced our traditional, wholesome more saturated animal and tropical fats.

     Cereal Killer, Part I, is a short history of the low fat era that began in 1961 when the American Heart Association officially endorsed a low fat diet. Part 1 answers the question, “Has low fat failed the test of time?”

     Cereal Killer, Part II, Life in the Fat Lane, is a positive analysis of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat – combating decades of fat-bashing by doctors, dietitians, university nutrition departments, and the federal government.

     Watson says the problem with the American diet has nothing to do with fat, cholesterol or eating too many calories. Instead, the underlying common denominator of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease is the emphasis on carbohydrates in the official Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

     For 40 years, advised to cut dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, Americans had to increase something and that something has been carbohydrates. As a result, obesity and diabetes have become serious public health issues and heart disease has not gone down as promised.

     Cereal Killer is a rallying cry for revising the federal 2010 Dietary Guidelines in favor of a higher fat, whole foods traditional American diet – foods that George and Martha Washington ate at Mt Vernon. Cereal Killer contains two sections, ten chapters, two appendices, and a comprehensive one-of-a-kind lipid glossary.

     In March 2009, Midwest Book Review said “Cereal Killer is well worth the read for those concerned with the health of a nation…”

Many Health Benefits of Garlic, The Organic Wonder Drug

Garlic’s great bulb has countless benefits. No other plant has been held out for so long as a cure for so many human ailments. That is why garlic has been considered as the natural "Wonder Drug". The best way to enjoy garlic’s health benefits is to eat it raw and crushed.

Garlic has been used medicinally for thousands of years for treating insect bites, tumors, ulcers, snakebites, wounds, headaches, heart disease, cancer, pimples, measles, sore throats, influenza, and many other diseases. Garlic also prevents infections such as the flu, common cold and cough due to its high Anti-bacterial, Anti-fungal and Anti-viral properties.

As the common proverb said: "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away".

In the same manner: "A single bulb of garlic a day, keeps many diseases away".

In general, garlic exhibits antioxidant activity, which is good for your digestive system, skin and more. It also contains flavonoids, which is good for keeping your heart and body healthy.

Garlic contains a range of compounds including "Allicin", which is a pungent oily liquid that gives crushed garlic cloves their characteristic smell, and has been shown to be the antibacterial agent due to its active sulphur.

Raw garlic is very smelly, so in order to reduce its smell. Crushed first and chopped raw garlic, allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, which would provide enough time for the alliinase and alliin in garlic to interact with oxygen in the air and form allicin. Simply add one clove for children and two cloves for each adult per day, into your room temperature gravy and foods, salad dressings, soup, yogurt, or garnish it before serving in your own style.

It is better for your digestive system and health to eat your foods at room temperature. You should never drink hot beverages and eat hot foods, rather lukewarm, or room temperature.

A Few Other Benefits of Garlic

Garlic is just magnificent and phenomenal. The followings are a few basic known and reliable home remedies for some specific ailments, which you can try at home.

If you have cold and flu, then take small amount of garlic every day until the infection disappears. Garlic tends to reduce the frequency of colds and flu without any side effects. A suggested dose would be two or three cloves of raw, or lightly cooked garlic a day.

We all face horrid acne, blemishes, blackheads during our teens. If you want to reduce it, or if you just want to glow up your skin, then take two cloves of crushed raw garlic regularly with lukewarm water early in the morning. Garlic works as a blood cleanser and clean your system internally. Do not eat chocolates, spicy, or oily food during this treatment and rinse your face five times a day with cold water. Drinks lots of water daily to flush off toxic waste from the blood and urinate whenever you feel that your bladder is full. Else, apply a cut of raw garlic clove gently on the affected area only if you have no sensitivity to it.

Those with High Cholesterol Level, can add raw garlic in their foods. This is the better way for heart patients to reduce their cholesterol level. Modern medical science suggests a very good reason that garlic could reduce cholesterol, i.e. "Garlic is a proven anti-oxidant". This property might help to prevent (LDL), the Low Density Lipo Protein from being oxidized. This way the cholesterol build-up that clogs the arteries will be be reduced by raw garlic use.

If you are very fat and want to lose weight, squeeze half lemon juice in one glass of lukewarm water and drink it with two cloves of raw garlic regularly twice a day (morning and evening), for about three months. Avoid using starchy foods and fats. Do exercise regularly. You will amazingly feel a great change in your health and body.

If you have Wrinkles, and you want to use anti ageing cream, it would be better to use 3 cloves of crushed garlic regularly as it has a powerful antioxidant effect, which help to protect the body against damaging "Free Radicals". Remember, our skin is made up of collagen and it looses elasticity on yearly basis. Therefore, use garlic and do exercise regularly for the positive results.

If you have Earache, put two or three drops of warm garlic oil in the ears.

Take garlic to boosts the weight of babies in the womb. Thus, when they are born, they are heavier than they would have been if you hadn't taken garlic. Some babies are born too small, so garlic is a definite boon in these cases too.

Take two raw garlic cloves daily to reduce the risk of cancer, due to its Anti-Carcinogenic properties. It helps prevent cancerous compounds from forming and developing into tumors. It also inhibits the growth of tumors.

If any insect bites you at the seaside, you just crush the garlic and apply it to the affected area to reduce pain and to remove poison.

Best Safe Way of Taking Garlic

Adults could enjoy 3 cloves of raw garlic, teenagers 2 fresh garlic clove and children 1 fresh garlic clove. Crush the raw garlic cloves and swallow it raw, before going to sleep, take it down with a glass of tea, or water. - Do not take more than 3 raw cloves of garlic per day, as it might make your blood too thin, causing serious ailments.

Contra-indications Precautions

To enjoy garlic’s health benefits, adults should never consume more than 3 to 4 raw cloves of garlic a day and children 1 to 2 small cloves.

Patients suffering from heart and other cardiovascular problems and diseases should take medical advice before consuming raw garlic.

It is best to avoid garlic before any surgery because it could probably disturb Anticoagulants.

If you are on any medication, always check with your doctor first before taking raw garlic.

Asthma patients should not use it as it worsens the symptoms of Asthma.

People with sensitive skin should use caution applying raw garlic physically on the affected area. Raw garlic can burn delicate skins. Do not use directly on skin if your skin is sensitive or susceptible to rashes, or other skin reactions without consulting your doctor first. People who are, or may be allergic to garlic, or any of its sulfur compounds should not try direct raw garlic application on their skin.

Garlic’s Side Effects:

Although, garlic is a natural Anti-biotic but a very small number of people have been known to exhibit Hypersensitivity to garlic. Garlic allergy includes skin rash, higher temperature than normal and headaches. Garlic intolerance could result in Heartburn or Flatulence.

Points To Be Noted

It is important to remember that the effect of garlic on cold and flu comes from Allicin and this can be obtained from crushed, raw garlic and is destroyed by cooking. Garlic cloves cooked whole have very little medicinal value. Garlic with strong smell has more Sulphur in it, which is good enough for medicinal purpose.

Freshly Crushed Raw Garlic is Much Better For The Heart Than Processed

On July 29, 2009, a new research study reports the first scientific evidence that freshly crushed raw garlic has more potent heart-healthy effects than dried garlic. Also most of the garlic's benefits are due to its rich array of antioxidants.

One of Garlic's heart-healthy effects results from production of hydrogen sulfide, a signaling substance that forms after raw garlic is crushed and eaten after 10 minutes, it relaxes your blood vessels acting as a chemical messenger in your body. But dried, or cooked garlic loses its ability to produce hydrogen sulfide.

The scientists gave freshly crushed raw garlic and dried and cooked garlic to two groups of lab rats. The results of the study showed how well the animals' hearts recovered from simulated heart attacks. "Both crushed raw garlic and cooked and dried garlic did reduce damage from lack of oxygen. But the fresh raw garlic group had a significantly greater effect on restoring good blood flow in the aorta and increased pressure in the left ventricle of the heart."

The very same recent scientific research tells us that slicing, chopping, mincing or pressing garlic before cooking can enhance the health-promoting properties of garlic. Garlic is rich in a wide variety of sulfur-containing compounds. One of the best studied is a compound called alliin. Alliin and a related enzyme (named "alliinase") are present but separated inside certain garlic cells when the garlic is whole and unbroken. But when garlic is cut, chewed, chopped, or crushed, these cells can rupture.

When they do, the aliinase enzyme can come into contact with the alliin molecule and cause the creation of a new compound called allicin. Allicin can be a very valuable garlic molecule in terms of its health benefits, because its intake has been associated with cardiovascular, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer benefits. Allicin is also one of the garlic compounds that contributes to the pungent aroma and "bite" we experience from garlic. Chopping, mincing, crushing, or pressing garlic and allowing it to sit for 5-10 minutes can help provide enough time for the alliinase and alliin in garlic to interact and form allicin.

How to gently detox with 4 super foods to remove toxins from chem trails, heavy metals, noxious chemicals, pesticides, drugs and GMO crop's by-products

August 23, 2012 - By JB Bardot

Detoxing can be hard on your body and cause a wide variety of alarming side effects. After all, the substances being removed are usually pretty horrible, consisting of toxic chemicals from Teflon, vaccines, pesticide residues, pharmaceutical drugs, chemotherapy residue, heavy metals, aluminum, radiation, and even by-products from GMO foods. There are numerous detoxing agents and methods available -- some more costly than others -- and some producing very intense experiences with potentially dangerous side effects.

However, there are several ways to remove these noxious substances gently, with kindness to your system. These techniques may take a bit longer to achieve completion; however, if you have the time and are sensitive, or just don't like pain, one of these methods should work for you.

Pectin

Fruit pectin is probably the most gentle method of detoxing contaminants. Pectin comes from the fibrous portion of the fruit and is most commonly found in the pith of limes, lemons and other citrus fruit as well as in apples. Other sources of pectin are bananas, grapes, carrots, and cabbage. Pectin helps to release heavy metals, chemicals and other substances into the blood stream, where it binds to them and flushes them from the body. Simply eating fruit high in pectin will help to cleanse your system, or you can add a pectin product to a glass of water, organic grape juice or fresh veggie juice to speed the detox process. Beware of pectin sold in grocery stores, as some brands may contain MSG. Check health food stores for the best products.

Cilantro

The delicious culinary herb cilantro, happens to be one of the most effective and gentle detoxifiers of mercury, heavy metals and other toxic contaminants. You can buy cilantro juice at health food stores or simply include the fresh herb in your diet as pesto or seasoning to control the amount consumed and limit unwanted side effects. It's inexpensive and works without the addition of man-made chemicals. Cilantro also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, quickly reducing infection and inflammation as it works to clear your system.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a single cell algae sea vegetable that grows in fresh water. Some of the best cholrella reserves have come from Japan; however, use caution when buying Japanese chlorella due to possible exposure to radiation from Fukushima. Chlorella is an easy-to-digest superfood best known for being able to remove mercury and other heavy metals from the cells. Too much chlorella can produce side effects -- mostly in the digestive tract -- where it works best to bind to mercury, eliminating it. Start with the lowest quantity and work up slowly for a gentle detox.

Wheatgrass

Juicing fresh produce and grasses such as wheat or barley grass provides an excellent way to remove toxins from the system. Wheatgrass is high in nutritional content, and provides vitamins, minerals and all nine essential amino acids. Wheatgrass can be a powerful detox, so start slowly with only a small amount of juice to keep it gentle -- 1/2 ounce a day -- and work up to avoid symptoms.

Using gentle detoxing products requires that you repeat treatments over a period of time until all symptoms have cleared. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and pains, dizziness and fatigue. Additionally, detoxing can cause a flare-up in your condition temporarily. It's just the toxins leaving your system and should pass shortly. If side effects are severe, reduce the quantity of whatever you're using to detox. If the symptoms continue, stop and consult your natural health practitioner for further instructions.
