Meditation and Diabetes

My most recent email covered a few topics quite briefly, which I have reproduced below, but with links to the original, fuller articles:

Meditation: A recent study has found that meditation halves the rate of heart attacks, strokes and other forms of death.  The study was on a couple of hundred people over 9 years.  The form of meditation used was the same one I’ve been practicing since my parents sent me on a course when I was 17 – Transcendental Meditation.  It’s very easy to learn.

Diabetes:  Some more scientists have discovered what I’ve been teaching for years – type 2 diabetes is COMPLETELY curable with the right diet – just not the one the NHS dieticians use!

If you want to know the diet I use then email me or ring the clinic on 01707 662 704

Fish Oils: More news on just how good they are for heart disease, decreasing inflammation and blood pressure.

Drugs: Yet more reasons to find another answer to your symptoms.  This time even simple pills like Piriton, used for hayfever, when combined with other common drugs can cause dementia and early death.  If you do know anyone that suffers with hay fever then please get them to give me a call on 01707 662 704 as I know someone who can cure it – guaranteed.

Cholesterol:  new research from Japan confirms what all the other major cholesterol studies have found – increased cholesterol is GOOD, not bad.  Please let your GP know and ask them to read this article: Tsuji H. Low serum cholesterol level and increased ischemic stroke mortality. Archives of Internal Medicine. 2011;171(12):1121-1123.

Lifestyle wins again

Lifestyle Wins Again for Better Health

Yet another study shows lifestyle change has a more dramatic effect on your health than any amount of drugs. (I'm talking about the chronic diseases that kill most westerners).

What is great about this particular research is that it highlights just how quickly positive efects happen.

A study at Brigham Young University found a combination of a 'healthy' diet and 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day dramatically decreased risks of cancer, diabetes and heart disease in just 6 weeks.

Maybe if they followed what I term a 'Human diet' (a hunter-gatherer diet) as outlined here - Human Diet with the types of exercise Al Sears recommends - PACE Program they would find even quicker and more profound results.

Goji Berries Good For Eyes

Goji berries, also known as wolfberries are available in most health food shops and are known for having high levels of antioxidants – the chemicals that prevent the human equivalent of rusting.

A trial in China has found that having some of the dried fruit every day helps improve damaged retinas, especially that caused by Type 2 Diabetes.

This is also great news for helping to prevent age related sight degeneration.

I’m happy because I already eat them. You can pick some up from Why Be Healthy in Finchley
