Chinese Herbs in treating Blastocystis Hominis

Here is a study that tested Chinese Medicine herbs for the treatment of blastocystis hominis or b hominis http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=164185



Our forum at pptu.lefora.com is an online site devoted to education and treatment strategies, please visit for more information -  You can also visit badbugs.org or bhomcenter.org for more information on blastocystis treatments.  


Aluminum toxicity

Studies of Gulf War Veterans who have shown clear signs of illness present ideas that Aluminum may be to blame.   Some with Gulf War Illness have shown increased tendencies towards neurological disorders including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's) .  An adjunct of aluminum was found in Anthrax vaccines and when injected into mice at the same levels, neurological disorders began to appear.   (The Medline study can be found here).  



Other studies that have been conducted have found aluminum toxicity to be a possible etiology in neurological conditions.   TMA (hair analysis) testing and serum testing may not be an adequate form of testing especially if the exposure occurred previously - this is to mean if the  metals are stored in tissue and not released into the blood for removal then these testing methods are of no value.   Furthermore it is shown that aluminum disrupts magnesium utilization which is a critical element in neurological, immune, cardiovascular and enzymatic functions.   Medline studies on magnesium and neuroprotection

I would like to add that any toxic metal will interfere with enzymatic functions including mercury, lead, uranium etc.   Furthermore there are studies that implicate pathogens are being a causative factor in GWI (as well as CFS, ME) including protozoa parasites such as blastocystis hominis  please see  http://www.bhomcenter.org/ for more information.

Oxygen levels in the colon

Here is a link for an article written by a German doctor who discusses the dynamic life of the intestinal tract which is considered to be one of the most important organ systems in the body due to a number of factors including immunity.

The discussion centers around low oxygen levels that halt the production of beneficial e coli (bec) which is not to be confused with the pathogenic strain of e coli we hear about in the news.   BEC is the major probiotic in the gut that holds the other probiotics and enables their proliferation.  Low oxygen levels occur from  nutrient deficiency, lifestyles and infections that shift the gut environment.

The author proposes the idea of using medical-grade ozone or other oxygen therapies that bring oxygen into the intestinal environment through insufflation techniques.

It is a Big Universe


Forex Managed Accounts

BayerInvest LLC is pleased to announce the beta testing of a new Forex strategy that implements Algorithmic trading which in back testing  has produced robust gains while minimizing risk exposure*.   We are currently managing accounts for individuals and for a well known broker.   Algorithmic trading entails using computer programs to monitor and trade positions of currency.

It is imperative to implement strategies that are profitable, low-risk and consistent, we believe we have found this in our new development.   After completion of the testing phase, we will be offering this to individuals and to investment firms who wish to trade currency effectively and profitably.

We are a transparent group, and in light of the ongoing financial based schemes, our clients do NOT pool their money into a fund rather maintain their own account that we access for trading purposes only.   (The client finds a regulated broker then simply allows us to trade only and never to withdraw money).

*there are several features of the trading system that implements risk containment.   For instance we use a low-risk percentage per trade, and a proprietary trade order management system that manages losses and trade re-entry.   In addition to this, we have four stringent qualifications that the algorithm considers before entering trades.

Arthritis drug effective against protozoa parasites

Researchers at UCSF and UC San Diego discovered that an older drug used in Rheumatoid Arthritis has been shown to kill protozoa parasites (e. histolytica) ten times more effective than the standard Metrodiazole (Flagyl) with few side effects.   The drug is Auranofin and the study can be read here.

Spices as Superfoods

Spices are overlooked in America thinking that they only offer flavoring for food but spices go far beyond just adding flavor.   In my quest to reduce oxidative stress that is caused by my condition I like to look at naturals which by the way are the only thing that can do this.   I have long been an advocate for using Vitamin C to quench toxins and I do not think there is anything that can do it like that.  Spices contain some of the highest ORAC values around.   ORAC simply stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity or the ability for a substance that reduces oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is the mess that is left behind from fighting infections, toxic exposure, wrong eating and stress.   The body needs to round those bad things up and remove them from the body, this is what makes us sick among other things.  Natural things like spices can help the body remove the bad things.

Most things in the plant world are good for us, spices come from the plant world.  I buy organic spices in bulk and mix them in generous portions to my health drink which contains quite a few things such as powdered greens and purples along with some natural vitamin c .   Buying in bulk is much more economical than capsules.

 Here is a short list at some of the spices that can be helpful:

Cinnamon:  Not only does cinnamon have a strong antioxidant property but many studies show its effectiveness in stopping antibiotic resistant organisms such as yeast and some bacteria.  In addition to this it has been shown to reduce the prolieration of leukemia and lymphoma cells.  Recent studies shows its ability to help control blood sugar as well.

Turmeric:  Comes from a plant similar to ginger and is used in adding flavor to many dishes such as Indian curry.   Turmeric not only is a super antioxidant but has benefits such as cardiovascular protection, cancer prevention, Alzheimer's, lowers cholesterol and helps with liver function.

Cloves:  The USDA lists cloves as having the highest ORAC of any spice, not only is it high in antioxidant properties but is antibiotic as well.

Roobios:  Roobios is also known as Red Bush and comes from Africa, it is known for its therapeutic value in nervous tension, allergies, digestive issues and allergies.

DOW Industrials Index

I have been doing a proprietary mathematical analysis on financial instruments (stocks, commodities etc) and decided to do the DOW Industrials chart which is a compilation of major stocks - this index is the sentiment of the general market.  It appears that a cycle end is coming and this would be a major cycle, so if you are invested in the market...


Roadrunner

'Roadrunner' by Modern Lovers is a song written by Johnathan Richman in the early 70s that is  considered a garage band classic.  A simple song that reminisces about cruising around in Boston.   Enjoy.


Clouds

Very little of us know about clouds, we know they bring rain, dampen the sun but they play an important role in the Earth's climate.   A very nice explanation here.

Cancer and Baking Soda

There have been an abundance of legitimate reports on the use of baking soda and cancer, most notably by an Italian doctor Dr. Tullio Simoncini in which he injected tumors with baking soda and watched the tumors disappear.   Of course he was discredited for his work.   Now a researcher at the University of Arizona has received a grant to study the use of baking soda in breast cancer.

There have been many researchers who have shown the link of infectious organisms that are associated with the etiology of cancer, if this is true then the baking soda well may lead to cancer remission by its anti-pathogenic nature.

Here is an article on the research grant http://blog.imva.info/medicine/baking-soda-cancer-laugh
