Why Hypothyroidism Is an Epidemic Today Your thyroid is a small gland that sits in the lower part of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. During the year, it makes about 1 teaspoon of thyroid hormone. And just this tiny amount is needed to drive the metabolic rate of every one of the trillions of cells in your body.  Thyroid hormone is vitally important to cell development, cell differentiation, and cell metabolism. It regulates fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism. It creates body heat and energy. And it affects how vitamins and minerals are utilized in your body. You need to know that thyroid hormone is so important to the function of every cell in your body (and thus every organ in your body) that . . . A thyroid imbalance can lead to 59 separate diseases. Have you been experiencing . . . Fatigue? Brain fog? Headaches? Cold feet or hands? Constipation? Dry skin? Body aches? Weight gain? Do you have any of these conditions . . . Memory loss? High cholesterol? Hair loss? Heart palpitations? Low or high blood pressure? Do you right now have . . . Allergies? Arthritis? Cancer? Heart Disease? Diabetes? A thyroid deficiency can be at the root of all these symptoms and serious diseases, and it usually goes undetected and often untreated! How did we get into this predicament? It's shameful, but there are two reasons for it . . . Reason #1: An estimated 52 million Americans are afflicted with thyroid hormone deficiency (and more every year), and the main culprit is a poisonous ingredient in foods and consumer products that destroys thyroid production (you can thank Washington politicians who continue to allow it). Floride has been mandated as law in many cities and has a direct correlation to thyroid problems. Reason #2: The standard thyroid test taught in American medical schools — the TSH test — is among the most inaccurate tests in modern medicine, so hypothyroidism is "usually missed," which sets the stage for disease. Worse, your doctor may have misdiagnosed your symptoms and then prescribed unnecessary drugs. And what's more, if hypothyroidism is the root cause of your disease or illness, and it goes untreated, your doctor can't successfully treat you. Ask your doctor about: Four thyroid tests to request for an accurate reading. Link between low thyroid and heart disease (plus why chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, diabetes, cancers — 59 diseases — are linked to it). Factors that inhibit T4 thyroid from being converted to the active form T3 (iodine and B-vitamin deficiencies, beta blockers, fluoride, and toxic chemicals and metals, to name a few). Importance of iodine to thyroid function (plus, why you're probably short on iodine and what you can do about it). How hypothyroidism causes high cholesterol (and why you should NOT take harmful cholesterol-lowering statin drugs).

FRUIT = ALKALINE BODY = CANCER PREVENTION
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? 
 
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. 
 
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.  
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... 
 
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! 
 
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. 
 
When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. 
 
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. 
 
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. 
 
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. 

KANGEN = MiracleWater Watch video on Dr Shinya and his prescription to all patients to drink Kangen water. Dr Shinya invented the colonoscopy and is respected the world over for his knowledge of how the colon can predict all diseases of the body. His experience has taught him that Kangen water helps flush fatty deposits from the colon keeping it clean and able to assimilate the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.

HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE
A serious note about heart attacks. Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

Zinc
Can you slow aging with a hearty and delicious bowl of chili? You'll get plenty of zinc, thanks to the rich red kidney beans in my chili recipe. A new study showed that zinc may help both prevent and reverse age-inducing damage to DNA. Zinc intake is so important to staying young that when middle-aged men in a study went from adequate zinc intake to zinc deficiency, they showed more breaks in certain DNA strands. When they were placed back on a zinc-rich diet, damage to DNA strands decreased significantly, suggesting that injured strands were repaired. You want healthy DNA, because damaged DNA can speed the aging process and increase your risk for conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Zinc isn't necessarily a fountain of youth, but the study results suggest that nearly 12 percent of Americans with a zinc deficiency may be doing their bodies a disservice. So how about that bowl of chili?

Did you know swallowing a post-1982 American one cent penny (97.5% zinc) can cause damage to the stomach lining due to the high solubility of the zinc ion in the acidic stomach
