Importance of Oxygen

Our immune system can suffer from lack of oxygen because of improper breathing, poor diets, air pollution, and lack of exercise.

Oxygen (O2) is a basic element of life and it provides protection of life in the form of O3 - also known as ozone - by filtering out the sun's UV rays as they enter the stratosphere. Oxygen destroys the harmful bacteria in our bodies without affecting the beneficial bacteria that we need.

Research continues to prove that increased oxygen consumption promotes overall health and increases metabolism resulting in burning extra fat stores. Oxygen levels can vary greatly and have a large impact on how a person is able to function. Medical professionals have developed standards for the amount of oxygen that should be present within a person's body.

An oxygen level of 95 - 100 percent is considered normal. Within this range, the cells of the body have enough oxygen to carry out necessary functions and an individual feels alert and energized. A level outside of this range, whether higher or lower, should cause a concern and warrants examination by a medical practitioner.

If the level of oxygen in an individual's body is too low, mild to severe complication can occur like hypoxemia. The person may experience fatigue and have a grayish blue skin hue. Oxygen deprivation symptoms include shortness of breath that may be accompanied by dizziness, fainting, or disorientation.

High oxygen levels are just as much of a concern as low oxygen levels. The main issue with an oxygen level that is too high is that it signals the brain to tell an individual's body that it doesn't need to breathe. For this reason, medical professionals have associated high oxygen levels with medical conditions such as sleep apnea, in which an individual periodically stops breathing as they sleep.

What is Diabetes?

According to the report from the International Diabetes Institute of Australia, victims of diabetes worldwide have increased more than twice and expected to grow from its current 246 million to 380 million by year 2025.

Diabetes is now actually a pandemic.  Roughly 4.6 percent of the population in the Philippines (or about 3.5 million) are diabetics.  Not included in these statistics are the 4% to 5% who are undiscovered and about 8 percent pre-diabetics, or future diabetics.  All these predicted to be twice as many in two decades.  More than 65 percent of diabetics will die of some form of heart disease or stroke. These are indeed scary statistics.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition where the amount of glucose in your blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly.  This is because your pancreas does not produce any insulin, or not enough, to help glucose enter your body's cells - or the insulin that is produced does not work properly (known as insulin resistance).

What causes diabetes?
When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream.  Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth.  However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter the body's cells, where it is used as fuel for energy so we can work, play and generally live our lives.  

After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, and lowers the blood sugar level.

A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia).  This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces.  This results in too much glucose building up in the blood.  This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine.  So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.

Why is it called Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetes comes from Greek, and it means a siphon.  Aretus the Cappadocian, a Greek physician during the second century A.D., named the condition diabainein.  He described patients who were passing too much water (polyuria) - like a siphon.  The word became "diabetes" from the English adoption of the Medieval Latin diabetes.

In ancient China people observed that ants would be attracted to some people's urine, because it was sweet.  The term "Sweet Urine Disease" was coined.

Types of diabetes There are three types of diabetes:

Diabetes Type 1 - You produce no insulin at all.
Diabetes Type 2 - You don't produce enough insulin, or your insulin is not working properly.
Gestational Diabetes - You develop diabetes just during your pregnancy.

Diabetes Types 1 and 2 are chronic medical conditions - this means that they are persistent and perpetual.  Gestational Diabetes usually resolves itself after the birth of the child.

Treatment
All types of diabetes are treatable, but Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes last a lifetime; there is no known cure.  The patient receives regular insulin, which became medically available in 1921.  The treatment for a patient with Type 1 is mainly injected insulin, plus some dietary and exercise adherence.

Patients with Type 2 are usually treated with tablets, exercise and a special diet, but sometimes insulin injections are also required.

If diabetes is not adequately controlled the patient has a significant higher risk of developing complications, such as hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, and nonketotic hypersosmolar coma.  Longer term complications could be cardiovascular disease, retinal damage, chronic kidney failure, nerve damage, poor healing of wounds, gangrene on the feet which may lead to amputation, and erectile dysfunction.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are above normal. People with diabetes have problems converting food to energy. After a meal, food is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which is carried by the blood to cells throughout the body. Cells use the hormone insulin, made in the pancreas, to help them process blood glucose into energy.

When you have type 2 diabetes, the body does not respond correctly to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means that fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond normally to insulin. As a result blood sugar does not get into cells to be stored for energy.

When sugar cannot enter cells, abnormally high levels of sugar build up in the blood. this is called hyperglycemia. High levels of blood sugar often trigger the pancreas to produce more and more insulin, but it is not enough to keep up with the body's demand.

People who are overweight are more likely to have insulin resistance, because fat interferes with the body's ability to use insulin.

Type 2 diabetes usually occurs gradually. Most people with the disease are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, type 2 diabetes can also develop in those who are thin, especially the elderly.

Family history and genetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes. Low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Other risk factors include:

• Age greater than 45 years 
• HDL cholesterol of less than 35 mg/dL or triglyceride level of greater than 250 mg/dL 
• High blood pressure 
• History of gestational diabetes 
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome 
• Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor
• Race/ethnicity (African American, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans all have high rate of diabetes)

Foods High in Uric Acid

High uric acid levels or hyperuricemia can lead to development and aggravation of diseases such as gout.  They also result in the joint deformation and kidney damage along with diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).  While there are other causes for excess uric acid formation in the body, diet may also be an important factor for increased level of uric acids.  The purines in food break down to form uric acid during digestion.  So when people susceptible to excess uric acid production, intake of foods high in purine results in hyperuricemia.  Here is a list of the foods high in uric acid.

Meat.  All meat products especially sweetbreads and organ meats such as livers and hearts have the highest level of purines and are therefore the most likely culprits of disorders caused by high uric levels.  While animal meats or the "red meats" such as beef, pork and seafoods should be completely avoided, "white meats" such as poultry can be eaten in moderate amounts.  Processed meat such as bacon is very high in purines and therefore a strict no-no for the people suffering from gout.  Eggs contain low levels of purine and should be limited to three to four a week.

Yeast.  Foods which contain yeast such as breads, beer and alcohol beverages, contain high amount of uric acid.  Alcohol in particular is known to hamper the renal excretion in the kidneys, thus resulting in high levels of uric acid.

Seafood.  Seafood such as sardines, trout, ocean perch, anchovies, herring, halibut, salmon, scallops, mussels, codfish and shrimp have high levels of purine.  Fish eggs, also called roe or caviar, are high in purine.  Fish and seafood not previously listed contain moderate amounts of purine.  This include tuna, salmon and lobster.

Lentils.  It is advisable to eat legumes such as dried beans in moderate amounts to control the levels of uric acid.

Vegetables.  Vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms and spinach are also moderate purine foods containing 9-100 mg purine in 100 g food.

Soups and Sauces.  Any extract made from meat is high in purine including broth, consomme and bouillon.  Gravy will also be high in purine.  For a low purine soup, choose one that is not made with a beef or chicken broth.

Grains.  A number of grains contain moderate amounts of purine.  This include oats and oatmeal cereals, wheat germ and bran.  Any cereal or bread marketed as whole grain will also have moderate purine levels.  However, your doctor or dietitian may suggest that you continue eating whole grain foods as the benefits may outweigh any risk from the purine content.  Breads, cereals and pasta made with refined white flour will be low in purine.

Caffeine.  Intake of caffeine found in coffee, tea, beans and leaves of many plants is known to increase the uric acid levels and aggravate conditions of gout.  Instead, try the decaffeinated coffee which actually helps reduce uric acid levels.

In addition to these, people prone to having high uric levels should also avoid some acid-forming foods such as processed syrups, packaged fruit juices, sauces, commercial pickles and artificial sweeteners.

Researchers from Harvard found that despite the purine content of dairy foods, consuming them might decrease uric acid levels.  Published in "Arthritis and Rheumatism" in 2007, the study found those who drank milk one or more times a day or ate yogurt every other day had lower serum uric acid levels.  

To help your body eliminate uric acid, be sure to drink 8 to 16 cups of water per day.  Alcohol, especially beer, has been associated with gout attacks according to MayoClinic.com.  Alcohol interferes with your body's ability to eliminate uric acid.

What is Uric Acid?

Uric acid is a waste produced during the body breaks down substances called purines.  Purines are found in many foods and drinks, such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine.

Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine.  If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn't remove enough of it, you can get sick.

Normal values fall between 3.0 to 7.0 mg/dL.

High levels of uric acid in the body is called hyperuricemia.  It is an excessive concentration of uric acid in the blood.  Some people develop gout, kidney stones or kidney failure due to high uric acid levels.  A high uric acid level may appear prior to the development of high blood pressure, heart disease or chronic kidney disease.  But it's often unclear whether a high uric acid level is a direct cause or merely an early warning sign of these conditions.

Higher-than-normal level of uric acid may be due to:

• Acidosis
• Alcoholism
• Diabetes
• Gout
• Hypoparathyroidism
• Lead poisoning
• Leukemia
• Nephrolithiasis
• Polycythemia vera
• Renal failure
• Toxemia of pregnancy
• Purine-rich diet
• Excessive exercise
• Chemotherapy-related side effects

Lower-than-normal levels of uric acid may be due to:

• Fanconi syndrome
• Wilson's disease
• Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion
• Low purine diet

Signs That You Are In Credit Card Debt Trouble

Using credit and debt can be a powerful tool that allows you to buy a home, a vehicle, send children to college, and even provide leverage for other purchases, but when you accumulate too much debt, it can pose a serious problem. 

Keeping up with your debt payments is only part of the problem.  Money that is used towards paying down debt can't be used elsewhere.  That means if you're spending money each month on credit card or other unnecessary debt, you're taking money away from other areas of your budget that can be used to build wealth and plan for the future. 

It can be difficult to actually realize when you've reached a critical point with your debt situation, but there are some signs that can help you identify the problem before it becomes too serious to address.  Here are a series of statements to compare to your situation.  If any of these apply to you, it is time to stop and take action to remedy the problem.

• You don't know how much you owe and you really don't want to find out.
• Your credit card balances keep rising every month.
• You find it hard to pay even the monthly minimum amount due on your credit card.
• You apply for additional credit cards.
• You are heavily dependent on your credit card because you often run out of money.
• You have more than two credit cards.
• You use more than 40% of your monthly income to pay for credit card dues and other debts.
• You have two or more unpaid personal or salary loan.
• You regularly borrow from relatives and friends to make ends meet.
• You gamble whatever little money you have.
• People start to harass and pressure you into paying the money you owe them.
• You often work overtime so you will have additional money to pay your debts.
• You buy something with your credit card but it was not approved because you are over the limit.
• Applications for loans or credit cards are denied.
• You hide credit card statements from family members.

Sometimes we know deep down inside that we have a debt problem, but it is easier to deny the problem than to address.  It can be painful and require hard work, but the sooner you realize that you are in over your head, you can begin to make positive changes.  Delaying changes to your habits will only prolong the problem and make it worse.  If you don't think you can tackle the problem along, there are people out there willing to help.

Finances:  Our Spiritual Barometer

A definition of "faith," according to Hebrews 11, is trusting God totally.  It means trusting God for things you cannot see or manipulate into happening.  Most of us truly desire to be able to exercise this faith.  But the world around us tells us to do the opposite.  If you don't have the money for what you "need," use your credit card to get it.  If it's too expensive for your income, so what?  You deserve it; besides, you have to stretch yourself if you want to be successful in this world.

God's Word tells us to learn to be content and dedicate ourselves to serving God.  In Hebrews 12:1 we are told, "Let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."  Instead, we encumber ourselves by following the worldly advice that says bigger and more are better.  Just about the time most of our children are grown and leaving home, we can "afford" a big home and more cars, so we expand our lifestyles rather than simplify them.

The worst sign of worldly values in Christianity is the love of money that is apparent today.  This is manifested in fear of the future.  This fear dominates the attitudes of most believers today.

Most Christians would like a steady income to provide for their family's needs, and that's not unscriptural, except when they compromise God's Word for fear of losing their tenure in a job, or when they fear speaking out against obvious sin.

What should we do?

Here are four simple steps to start applying God's wisdom:

Step 1:  Study the available materials on God's principles for managing finances;
Step 2:  Apply godly discipline to your lifestyle;
Step 3:  Teach your children about God's financial principles; and
Step 4:  Teach your neighbors on God's principles of finances and basic budgeting in homes and churches.

Weight Loss

The environment is not only making us sick but it may also even interfere with attempts to lose weight.  According to Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, who published her work in the 2002 Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, between the years of 1930 and 2000, the rise in the use of synthetic chemicals matched the rise in the number of overweight and obese adults in the U.S.  The liver plays a major role in weight loss and in metabolism functions.  When the liver is overloaded (toxic), weight loss efforts may be blocked.  "A liver overloaded with pollutants and toxins cannot efficiently burn body fat," says Ann Louise Gittlemen, PhD, CNS.  "A tired, toxic liver is the number one weight-loss stumbling block."

"One new chemical enters industrial use every 20 seconds," says Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, "only to join many hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals already in use.  As a result, the average person living in the developed world is now contaminated with at least 500 industrial toxins, few of which have been properly tested for harmful effects."  We live in a toxic wold and carry many toxins within us.  Everyday, we are exposed to numerous chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health.  These chemicals are not only found in the air we breathe, but also in the food we eat, water we drink, homes we live and in the personal and cosmetic products we use.  A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system.  All of us are at risk.

Traditionally, overweight and obesity are caused by a number of factors from super-sized portions to sedentary lifestyles.  Nowadays, experts believe that one of the underlying reasons for being overweight is an overload of environmental toxins throughout our body.  We are all exposed of various amount of toxins and can't help being exposed.  The fewer toxins the body has, the more weight that probably can be lost.  So, if diet and weight loss are on your resolutions list once again, then you owe it to yourself to include Quantumin Plus Mineral Supplement as an important part of your weight loss program.

Quantumin Plus Mineral Supplement has zeolites that has been discovered that has variety of applications on/in the human body mainly focusing on detoxification.  Many consider it a miraculous mineral, since it can be used in chemotherapy, but also in the purification of the human body, which in turn leads to significant weight loss, since it is known that, frequently, overweight is caused by the toxins stored or not properly eliminated by the body.

Cancer Mortality Rates Are Higher In Men Than Women

In the Philippines, cancer is third out of the top 10 causes of death in 2009.  Leading causes of cancer-related deaths are lung cancer, breast cancer, cancer of the cervix, liver cancer, colon and rectum cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, cancer of the oral cavity, cancer of the ovaries, and leukemia.

According to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, overall cancer mortality rates are higher for men than women in the United States.

Michael B. Cook, Ph.D., an investigator in the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics ath the National Cancer Institute, and colleagues used U.S. vital rates and survival data from the SEER database for 36 cancers by gender and age.  They assessed whether cancer mortality rates and cancer survival differed by gender.

"Men are more likely to die from cancer than women," said Cook.  "We found this to be true for a majority of specific types of cancer."

Results showed that the cancers that had the highest male-to-female mortality rate ratios were:  lip cancer (where 5.51 men died compared to 1 female); larynx (5.37-to-1); hypopharynx (4.47-to-1); esophagus (4.08-to-1); and urinary bladder (3.36-to-1).  Cancers with the highest mortality rates also showed greater risk of death in men than women:  lung and bronchus (2.31-to-1); colon and rectum (1.42-to-1); pancreas (1.37-to-1); leukemia (1.75-to-1); and liver and intrahepatic bile duct (2.23-to-1).

In their analysis of five-year cancer survival, the researchers adjusted for age, year of diagnosis and tumor stage and grade, when this information was available.  Cook and his team found that a person's gender did not play a major role in cancer survival.

For many cancers, men have poorer survival than women but the differences are slight.  It is difficult to assign any singular root cause, but influences include differences in behavior of the tumor, cancer screening among people without symptoms, presence of other illnesses and heath care seeking behaviors.

"Our research suggests that the main factor driving the greater frequency of cancer deaths in men is the greater frequency of cancer diagnosis, rather than poorer survival once the cancer occurs," said Cook.  "If we can identify the causes of these gender differences in cancer incidence then we can take preventive actions to reduce the cancer burden in both men and women."

Humic Acid

Humic acid is a fraction of humic substances composed of a long chain molecule which is high molecular weight, dark brown in color and soluble in an alkaline solution.  Little is known about this amazing molecular complex but what is known is that humic acid can behave as both a donor or acceptor of electrons.

In laymen's terms, this means that it will bind to both positive and negatively charged ions making it the most powerful free-radical scavenger and natural anti-oxidant known.  Humic acid has long been used in various ancient cultures as folk remedies for a wide variety of illnesses.

Humic acid is a valuable support for people who are seeking relief from nutritional imbalances, immune system disorders, and viral diseases.  Its greatest contribution to human health will be a PREVENTIVE dietary supplement. Every scientific test of humic acid has conclusively proven that it is most effective and efficient when it's introduced into the system before a threat appears.

Daily use of humic acid will assist the body in manufacturing the glycoproteins that balance and regulate the various components of the immune system.

Humic acid act as a gentle and mild daily detoxifier that will inhibit and reverse the build up of industrial and agricultural toxic pollutants into our air, our water, and even into our food supply.

It also supply the body with appropriate seventy essential organic, plant derived, bioavailable trace-minerals that are simply not to be found in our modern diets.

Zeolite

Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial absorbents.  The term zeolite was originally coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, who observed that upon rapidly heating the material stilbite, it produced large amounts of steam from water that had been absorbed by the material.  Based on this, he called the material zeolite, from the Greek ζέω (zeō), meaning "boil" and λίθος (lithos), meaning "stone".

As of January 2008, 175 unique zeolite frameworks have been identified, and over 40 naturally occurring frameworks are known.

Zeolite-based oxygen concentrator systems are widely used to produce medical-grade oxygen.  The zeolite is used as a molecular sieve to create purified oxygen from air using its ability to trap impurities, in a process involving the absorption of nitrogen, leaving highly purified oxygen and up to 5% argon.

QuickClot brand hemostatic agent, which is used to stop severe bleeding, contains a calcium-loaded form of zeolite.

Bio-medical applications of zeolites include their use as detoxicants and decontaminants, as vaccine adjuvants, and as antibacterial agents.  They are also used for delayed release drug delivery, as antitumor adjuvants, as antidiarrheal agents, in hemodialysis, to improve bone formation, and in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Zeolite are used in the treatment of Lyme disease, as a detoxifier.

Zeolites are used as nutritional supplements.  Some clinoptilolite-based dietary supplements have demonstrated antioxidant activity in humans.

E-Rich 10-in-1 Coffee

This nutritional beverage blends 10 ingredients in just 1 sachet:  coffee beans (coffee arabica), non-dairy creamer, natural sugar, fulvic substance (from humic substance), zeolite, minerals, malunggay (moringa oleifera) extract, grapeseed (vitis vinifera) extract, spirulina, and mangosteen.

The 10-in-1 coffee is considered E-Rich because it is:

ENERGY-RICH
Coffee beans (coffee arabica) contains caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, tannins and xanthenes.  Coffee improves physical stamina and athletic performance, relieves fatigue, insomnia and the effects of jet lag.  It also helps severely obese people to lose weight by increasing the metabolic rate.  The special ingredients combination and special process has created an energy field that coffee lovers immediately feel after savoring the coffee blend. There’s more energy than coffee beans alone can give you!

ELECTROLYTE-RICH
Electrolytes are salt/mineral substances that dissociate into ions in a solution and these play an important role in the functioning of the human body:  in muscle contraction, in energy generation, and in almost every major biochemical reaction in the body.  The effects of several minerals in this nutritional blend are even further enhanced by the inclusion of fulvic acid (from humic substances) which acts as an effective transporter of minerals right into the cell and at the same time balances the system  retaining the much-needed minerals and excreting the minerals in excess!

ELECTRON-RICH
Many foods and beverages in the modern times are unfortunately highly oxidized and lacking in electrons.  This nutritional beverage is unique among other coffee beverages because it is actually rich in electrons and thus considered a real anti-oxidant beverage. One good measure of antioxidant level is the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) which scales from -1,220 mV (with more antioxidants) to +1,200mV (with less antioxidants, or more oxidizing, or simply, more “rusting” effects). Most coffee in the market have + 100 mV to + 200 mV ORP range. Fresh juices have lower or more negative ORP level,usually from +50 mV to -250 mV (example is freshly squeezed organic orange juice).  Recent preliminary biochemical in vitro research reveals that E-Rich 10-in-1 Coffee has -50 mV to -100 mV ORP value that assures more antioxidants, just like taking fresh orange juice!

ELIMINATOR-RICH
E-rich Coffee has eliminators of toxins (or detoxifiers). Among its detoxifiers, Zeolite comes in so strong that even chemicals like pesticide, radioactive elements and heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, etc. are extracted from the skin, brain and the nervous system.  It can also effectively eliminate old intestinal contents which can cause a vicious cycle of toxins, causing more and more chronic diseases which do not readily respond to medications.

EXTRACT-RICH
Aside from the minerals and fulvic acid/humic substances that are included in this beverage, there are two important extracts that account for the higher antioxidant property of E-Rich  10-in-1 Coffee:

A.  MALUNGGAY EXTRACT (moringa oleifera)
Malunggay (horse-radish tree) contains high level of beta-carotene, Vitamins C and E, and phytochemical niaziminin.  These substances are considered potent antioxidants.  Malunggay also contains minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus and potassium.  Recent botanical and toxicological researches show that malunggay has potent antioxidant properties.

B.  GRAPE SEED EXTRACT (vitis vinifera)
Grape Seed Extract is a benefit-rich, natural plant constituent (bioflavonoids) which strengthens and protects living tissues. The active plant consituents in grape seed extract are proanthocyani dins (OPC).  It is a super antioxidant that is 20-50 times more powerful that Vitamins C, E and Beta-Carotene.  Grape seed extract has anti-allergenic, anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties; it also strengthens blood vessels, improves skin conditions and aids in circulation.
