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) |

In his latest Q&A session, Bullz-Eye.com Fitness Editor Mike Furci discusses high protein diets, weight training vs. cardio, and chest workouts. Q: Mike, 1. “Screw cardio!” Are you serious? I think it’s a known AND proven fact that a good mix of cardio and weight training will provide a better fat loss program than just weight or cardio training alone. ESPECIALLY if we consider HIT cardio training. A: It is true, HIT cardio (I assume you’re referring to interval training) is the best way to go if you’re going to put the time in. However, sorry to inform you, it is not a “proven fact” that a mix of cardio and weight training is the best way to go. Show me the evidence of long term success. There is NONE. Visit any gym and you’ll see what I mean. The majority of people who perform cardio regularly don’t make permanent gains. Cardio is vastly overrated as a means of losing body fat. In fact, if a person who is overweight embarks on a cardio program and doesn’t change their eating habits, they are doomed to failure. Adding muscle is the key, combined with a diet lower in refined foods, especially carbs.

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.

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!

In our never ending quest for a healthier, leaner, stronger body, taking supplements is a must. While sifting through many supplement sites the other day I came across Vitacost.com. They offer many different quality brands of supplements at great prices. I made a purchase about 3 weeks ago and must say, I’m impressed. I am definitely putting them on my list of favorite supplement sites. |
