Niacin Lowers Cholesterol Better Than Drug
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine compared a B
vitamin (niacin) to a popular cholesterol-lowering drug (Zetia) made
by Merck. And guess what? The vitamin was better. Niacin had a
beneficial effect on the plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries
that supply blood to the brain, but despite the fact that Zetia
reduced LDL by almost 20 percent in patients who already had LDL
cholesterol levels of less than 100 mg/dL, patients taking the drug
had a slight worsening of the plaque build-up. Moreover, nine patients
in the Zetia arm of the study had heart attacks, stroke, or died from
heart disease, versus just two patients who were taking niacin.
Though you may not get enough niacin from just the food you eat in
order to have this beneficial effect, I recommend that you include
often some foods rich in niacin such as wild rice, brown rice,
buckwheat, and sunflower seeds.
Vitamin D Could Eradicate Breast Cancer
In a gathering of vitamin D researchers recently held in Toronto, Dr.
Cedric Garland delivered an announcement: “Breast cancer can be
virtually eradicated by raising vitamin D levels.” Vitamin D is
finally gaining the recognition it deserves as a miraculous
anti-cancer nutrient. It is one of the solutions for cancer
prevention. It could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year in
the U.S. alone. Dr. Andrew Weil recently raised his recommendation of
vitamin D to 2,000 IU per day. Many naturopathic doctors recommend
even more–between 3,000 and 5,000 mg daily.
Detox Your Lymphatic System and Exercise At the Same Time
The Swing Machine is also referred to as a Lymphasizer because it
passively moves the lymph in the body, which aids the immune system
and leads to health and a sense of well-being. The Healthy Swinger,
also referred to as the Lymphasizer, provides a simple exercise
without applying any stress on the spine or other body parts. Simply
lie down and the Healthy Swinger will rock your body from
side-to-side. This simple rocking motion maintains a proper energy
balance and oxygen supply to the body. Regular use of this relaxing
massage movement stimulates your body and achieves relaxation and
stress reduction, while assisting in detoxifying the lymphatic
system.. A sense of well-being arises from the massaging swing action
and is immediately noticeable.
