So you want to take Vitamin C, how about if it was illegal to take that vitamin C, what if it was so illegal that you could be thrown in jail for up to 2 years and fined up to $5,000,000! Sounds like fiction doesn’t it? Well it’s about to become reality in Canada. The Canadian Government is trying to pass a bill known as Bill C51. This bill has already passed its second reading and it is flying under the radar, it is very close to becoming law and some powers that be DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW! This bill would give entire control of supplements over to drug companies by only allowing MDs to “Prescribe” them as they see fit. Of course we know here in this country the government controls the doctors and the pharmaceutical companies tell the government what laws they want inorder to make more profit. What this means is that if you want to take a multivitamin or some Omega-3, you have to book an appointment with your doctor, go in and try to convince your doctor that you are in need of these supplements. If you doctor doesn’t approve or better yet decides a certain drug would be better off for you then you unfortunately won’t have access to your supplements anymore. The entire natural supplement industry will collapse if this bill passes. Thousands of jobs will be lost and even more stress will be placed on an already crumbing over-stressed national health care system. Imagine waiting over a month to get in to see your MD just to request if you can take some oregano oil for a cold that has now come and past, only to have your request denied anyway. MDs who are NOT trained in the use of herbs and supplements will have full control over what you can and CANNOT TAKE. To summarize: - No More Supplement Stores! - Supplements are made illegal unless obtained through a prescription and 70% of all current supplements on the market will be removed! - Prices for obtainable supplements will be higher than they are currently due to the monopolization, and being made into prescriptions! - Restrict research and development of safe natural alternatives in favor of high risk drugs! - Punish Canadians with little or no opportunity for protection or recourse for simply speaking about or giving a natural product without the approval of government! - Fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or seek 2 years in jail per incident of being caught breaking any of these newly implemented laws. This includes USING OR SELLING SUPPLEMENTS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT APPROVAL! - YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE REGARDING YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE OF SUPPLEMENTS and NATURAL MEDICINE IN CANADA! No More Vitamin C, No More Omega-3, No More Oregano Oil, No More Natural Multivitamins, No more natural sleep aids, NO MORE HERBS, VITAMINS, MINERALS. No more choice in what YOU want to do for YOUR HEALTH! (Ezinearticles.com) |

Men’s Fitness.com lists eight celebrity guys whose health could benefit from shrinking their waistline. The sizeable filmmaker made us take a long hard look at the nation’s health care system in his controversial documentary Sicko. Weighing in at just over 300 pounds, Moore would be wise to examine his own health as closely, especially since he’s now in his mid-50s. To his credit, Moore has reportedly made attempts to shed the pounds through lifting weights, eating smarter, and getting more sleep. He’s also been quoted as saying he’d like to get down to 225 pounds. Kevin Smith The brilliant filmmaker who brought us Clerks, Mallrats, and Dogma, has always been a guy who swims in self-deprecation when it comes to his body image. But Smith’s family history of diabetes scared the director into shedding over 20 pounds in 2007. We give the guy all the credit in the world for paying attention to hereditary health risks — and we’re willing to bet Smith will stick to his new lifestyle and drop a few more pounds. Kevin Smith probably sums up why many people struggle with weight loss. Laziness will get you every time.

low testosterone levels put men at risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and early death? One study shows that testosterone treatment reduces LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol. Another study that looked at the cause of death in almost 2000 men aged 20 to 79 years. The men with low testosterone at the start of the study had a 2.5 times greater risk of dying during the next ten years compared with men with higher testosterone levels. These studies, and more, will be presented at The Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, in San Francisco, suggest that testosterone therapy has several positive effects.

Looking for a natural sex boost, gentlemen? Skip the pills and head straight for the fruit section at your local grocery store, because according to THE HUFFINGTON POST, watermelon is the new Viagra. In watermelons, these include lycopene, beta carotene and the rising star among its phyto-nutrients – citrulline – whose beneficial functions are now being unraveled. Among them is the ability to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does. Scientists know that when watermelon is consumed, citrulline is converted to arginine through certain enzymes. Arginine is an amino acid that works wonders on the heart and circulation system and maintains a good immune system, Patil said. “The citrulline-arginine relationship helps heart health, the immune system and may prove to be very helpful for those who suffer from obesity and type 2 diabetes,” said Patil. “Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it.” While there are many psychological and physiological problems that can cause impotence, extra nitric oxide could help those who need increased blood flow, which would also help treat angina, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems. “Watermelon may not be as organ specific as Viagra,” Patil said, “but it’s a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side-effects.” I’ve also read that blueberries contain a lot of the same health benefits as watermelon because of the amount of antioxidants that come packed in the fruit. It’s recommended to pop a handful of blueberries a day to keep your ticker running strong and your Johnson pointing north.

Low testosterone levels in older men are associated with an increased risk of depression, according to an Australian study. Between 2001 and 2004, researchers at the University of Western Australia in Perth studied 3,987 males aged 71 to 89. The men provided demographic and health information and were tested for depression and cognitive difficulties. The researchers also checked the men’s testosterone levels. The 203 men who met the criteria for depression had significantly lower total and free (not bound to proteins) testosterone levels than those who weren’t depressed. After controlling for other factors, such as cognitive scores, education level and body-mass index, the researchers concluded that men in the lowest quintile (20 percent) of free testosterone were three times more likely to have depression compared to those in the highest quintile. The findings were published in the March issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. There is more and more evidence mounting for medically supervised hormone replacement therapy.

Researchers are always looking for the magic bullet to kill cancer, and now they may have found it in a surprising place — a glass of beer! (Who knew?) It turns out that hops, which is the flavor component of beer, contains a cancer-fighting compound called xanthohumol. Xanthohumol turns out to be toxic to several kinds of human cancer, including prostate, ovarian, breast, and colon. Further, it inhibits enzymes that can activate the development of cancer, and also helps detoxify carcinogens. It even seems to slow down tumor growth in the early stages. Scientists are trying to produce hops that contain even more xanthohumol, and the Germans are racing to develop a “health” beer. Beers that provide the most benefits contain the most hops, and include strong brews such as ale, stout, and porter. In general, the darker the beer, the better. For those who can’t stand beer, herbal supplements made from hops contain the highest concentrations of beneficial elements. NewsMax.com Health Alerts

Better health, better wellbeing, more muscle and a higher libido are all side effects of higher testosterone levels. What red blooded male doesn’t want to feel stronger more aggressive and hornier? During male puberty, androgens (testosterone) cause secondary sex characteristics to develop: deeper voice, broader shoulders, more muscle mass, wider shoulders and facial hair growth. These levels of testosterone continue until we start to get into our early 40’s. As men proceed through midlife, we slowly start producing less and less testosterone. Unfortunately we have an inverse production of estrogen. This change in hormone levels is sometimes referred to as andropause. Hormone replacement therapy is a healthy solution to combat the symptoms of andropause. However, for those who do not want to take hormones or for those who just can’t afford it, a few supplements offer a viable drug free alternative. A study reported in the Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition 2007,4:13, analyzed the effects of supplementing for 8 weeks with 6-OXO, a supplement made by Ergopharm purported to be an aromatase inhibitor. 16 males consumed 300mg or 600mg in a double blind manner. Blood tests were taken at weeks 0,1,3,8 and 11(a 3 week washout period). Results showed significant increases in testosterone, free testosterone and an increase in the testosterone to estrogen ratio, all being desirable. Looks like a winner!
