The human body is a miracle capable of extraordinary things. Thousands of chemical reactions go off every second so that we can breathe, talk, smell and think. When pollutants, processed crap, chemicals and other dietary no-no's enter your body, these chemical reactions go Manhattan project inside of you and cause cancers and disease. It is only through the sharing of knowledge that we will ever learn the truth.. Eat good..Live Healthy Simple..

Nutritional Myths and Misinformations
Common medical myths and lack of clear understanding number on the thousands when discussing modern preventative medicine, but what about modern nutrition? I mean lets face it, the Nutrition book we had in elementary, middle, and high school were the same book lol.
Myth 1: "Don't eat butter"- yeah ok so lets avoid the natural nutrients in butter and substitute that out for some synthetic margarine that has enough trans fats to dramatically increase your bad cholesterol levels (LDL). Think smart people when in doubt get natural first.
Myth 2: "Don't eat too much salt"- so we've all heard that one, too much salt causes high blood pressure. However a recent 4 year study at Cornell University showed that in 1,900 men with high blood pressure, those who ate less than 5 grams of salt a day had more than 4 times as many heart attacks as those who consumed more than 10 grams. Many Americans need to double their "healthy" salt intake.
Myth 3: "Don't use Vitamin and Mineral Supplements"- This one is a personal pet peeve of mine. We as humans have been taking supplements for nutrition since the beginning of time and now it seems to be an issue. Currently 50% of Americans consume vitamin supplements on a regular basis. A 24 year study of 11,384 people found that taking vitamins and supplements cuts the death rate in half. Also included was that Cancer and heart disease rates were less than 10% lower than those who did not take anything. Taking daily Vitamin C supplements could reduce your chance of cancer by 30% and increase longevity in recovering cancer patients by 4 fold.
Myth 4: "Your body should not rise above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit."- The fever as I'm sure we all know can be a very debilitating condition. Hot sweats, chills, never fun for anyone. Now the reason for a fever is that most bacteria and viruses cannot survive above the body's normal temperature so fever is associated with the fighting of infection. The doctor on the other hand will give you some Aspirin or Tylenol to reduce your fever so as too allow the bacterial infection to thrive and allow him to prescribe antibiotics to fight the illness. Note this is not the doctors fault as if it is intentional, many doctors are just not trained in nutrition and the way the body reacts to danger.
Myth 5: "Genes cause degenerative disease."- Acidosis causes degenerative disease not your Uncle Franks drinking problem. This goes along with the notion that the Sun is bad for you. Mineral deficiency induced acidosis causes your body to become more prone to disease and illness. Your genes are then forced to choose what illness to succumb too. When cells live in a acidic environment the cell well then mutate and cancer is born. Cancer though cannot survive in a Alkaline environment. If you make the body alkaline you beat the cancer.

Vitamin D and Cancer
Did you know that government agencies (USDA) don't list naturally occurring Vitamin D levels in fish, fish oils, and egg yolks. Whats the reason you may ask? Currently the RDA levels for vitamin D is set at
400 IU sounds good right well 1 tbs of Cod liver oil contains 1,360 IU of Vitamin D. If the USDA were to list these levels for fish and etc, they would have to raise the RDA standards regarding the daily intake of Vitamin D. Dr. M.F. Holick stated in 2000 that "The Vitamin D levels in the human body should never fall below 3,200 IU and levels below 2000 IU are considered serious deficiency states and will increase your risk of breast and prostate cancer and autoimmune diseases like MS and rheumatoid arthritis. Currently 30%, 42% and 45% of white, Hispanic, and black elderly were vitamin D deficient. The Human intestine is lined with vitamin D receptors known as VDR's. These VDR's are present in the bones and kidneys as well. When the VDR's are at full absorption of Vitamin D (about 5000 IU) then the body is capable of absorbing 2000% more calcium and other minerals for your body, essentially curing your body of vitamin deficient disorders which account for nearly 80% of hospital visits.
