Caprylic Acid in Coconut Oil: The Saturated Fat that Fights Candida, Infections & Acne





Caprylic acid benefits - Dr. Axe
Caprylic acid is a type of beneficial saturated fatty acid that has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Found in healing foods like coconut and coconut oil, cow’s milk, and human breast milk, it’s been linked to prevention of Urinary Tract Infections, Bladder infections, Candida virus, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, oral infections like Gingivitis and many other conditions.

As one of the three primary fatty acids (along with capric acid and lauric acid) found in coconut oil, caprylic acid has recently become widely known for its antifungal effects, especially in regard to keeping the digestive and reproductive organs — including the bladder, gut and urethra — functioning properly.
One of the most popular uses for caprylic oil, whether consumed as part of foods or taken orally in tablet form, is preventing the overgrowth of yeast-like fungus that can live and grow in your intestines.

As a saturated fatty acid, caprylic acid (also sometimes called octanoic acid) contains eight carbon atoms, making it a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA). While more research is still needed to confirm its potential uses, research suggests caprylic acid has positive applications for fighting inflammation, cancer, age-related cognitive decline including Alzheimer’s disease, autism and circulatory problems.

6 Benefits of Caprylic Acid

1. Contains Antibacterial, Antiviral and Antifungal Properties

As a natural immune-booster, caprylic acid is commonly used as an ingredient in topical fungicides, household cleaners, perfumes and dyes. Considering all the known coconut oil uses there are, it’s not surprising that caprylic acid is gaining popularity on its own for healing the body inside and out.
Taken internally, it helps naturally reduce yeast growth within the gastrointestinal tract while helping beneficial bacteria thrive. At the same time, caprylic acid is completely natural and doesn’t pose the same risks as harsh antibiotics or chemical treatments. While antibiotics can kill off all bacteria in the gut environment — both good and bad — caprylic acid can actually do the opposite, helping prevent an imbalance between the presence of various bacteria.

A higher population of “good bacteria” in the gut raises immune function and has numerous implications: lower inflammation levels, less risk for allergies, better brain function, improved hormonal health, lower risk for obesity and much more.
Because gut health is intrinsically tied to many functions throughout the body, caprylic acid’s effects might help fight headaches, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, bloating, vaginal yeast infections and gas. To further boost its effects, some experts also recommend taking in natural immune-enhancers like probiotic foods, oregano oil and omega-3 fish oil supplements along with caprylic acid to help repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria, reduce inflammation and restore a healthy “gut-brain connection.”

2. Fights Candida

When it comes to fighting candida the natural way, look no further than caprylic acid. Candida is a condition that occurs when an overgrowth of yeast fungus develops in your gut. It’s very common, especially among woman, and is associated with uncomfortable Candida symptoms like abdominal bloating, constipation, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, depression and sugar cravings.
Because caprylic acid acts as a natural yeast-fighting agent, it’s believed that it can penetrate the cell membranes of candida yeast cells and cause them to die off, detoxifying the digestive tract and speeding up the healing process.

Researchers have found that caprylic acid taken orally rapidly reduces symptoms associated with viral and fungal infections like Candida and Chlamydia. A 2001 report published in Acupuncture and Electrotherapeutic Research found that caprylic acid is superior in terms of efficacy, and also less expensive, than drugs such as Diflucan for treating these infections.

The same study suggests that the best treatment for these types of conditions is a combination of concentrated caprylic acid taken orally along with omega-3 fish oil supplements. Together these act as strong antiviral agents and increase normal cell telomeres (NCT).

3. Helps Prevent and Treat Yeast Infections

Aside from candida, yeast can cause other types of internal or external yeast infections that show up on the skin, genitals, toes and elsewhere. Caprylic acid can help get rid of yeast infections — as toe fungus, oral infections, vaginitis in women, jock itch in men and ringworm are all examples of yeast infections that can be prevented or treated with little to no side effects.

4. Treats Skin Infections and Acne

Considering how popular various coconut oil uses for skin have become, it’s no surprise that the strong antibacterial and antimicrobial effects of caprylic acid have been proven in many human and animal studies to help improve infections that show up on the skin. Caprylic acid, along with its derivatives called monocaprylin and sodium caprylate, are capable of fighting bacteria that live on the skin and cause infections, including Dermatophilus congolensis and acne.
Dermatophilosis is a skin disease that can affect many species of domestic and wild animals like horses and cattle, in addition to humans. It results in a bacterial infection that forms painful dry scabs on the skin and can be irritating and embarrassing, similar to eczema and acne.

Coconut oil, the best source of naturally occurring caprylic acid, is known to naturally improve acne and reduce skin inflammation. This is why coconut oil makes a great natural skin moisturizer, addition to homemade scrubs or lotions, facial cleanser, and shaving balm. Additionally, it has beneficial properties for improving hair health when used in coconut oil form (check out these coconut recipes for hair to see what I mean).

5. Helps Treat Inflammatory Digestive Disorders
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs or MCT oil) are often administered to patients with Crohn’s disease or short-bowel syndrome. Up until recently, little was known about the effects of MCFAs and MCTs on intestinal inflammation, but studies now suggest that these fatty acids help suppress secretion of inflammatory enzymes and cells, reducing Chrohn’s symptoms like pain, bloating, bleeding and bowel problems.

MCTs seem to help protect the epithelium, a line of defense living in the gut that acts like a border against an array of substances in the intestines, including toxic residents and pathogenic micro-organisms. In people who have inflammatory conditions where a healthy mucus barrier is lost, including those with Crohn’s disease, their intestinal epithelial cells secrete a wide array of cytokines after stimulation with pro-inflammatory cytokines or bacterial products.
Although the precise mechanism that leads MCTs to suppress this process is still not fully understood, it’s believed that they help inhibit inflammatory cytokine gene inhibition and, therefore, lower the body’s immune responses that further aggravate the gut lining.

6. Reduces Risk for Antibiotic Resistance

Concerns regarding antibiotic resistance worldwide are on the rise, which has led health experts to seek out natural alternative therapeutic approaches to antibiotics for treatment of infections in both humans and animals.
One of the main concerns for using chemical antibiotics to treat infections or viruses is that it raises the risk for antibiotic resistance over time. As harmful pathogens and bacteria in the body become resistant to drugs and mutate in order to survive, we have to turn to other options to treat illnesses — sometimes these options come at a much higher price, require a longer duration and cause serious side effects.

A variety of safe, natural, free fatty acids and their monoglyceride derivatives have been reported to exert antibacterial and antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microorganisms, including caprylic acid and its monoglyceride and monocaprylin compounds. These appear to inactivate common mastitis pathogens including Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

One study found that after treating contaminated milk samples, both caprylic acid and monocaprylin reduced five types of dangerous pathogens, including E. coli just like antibiotics would, without the risk for bacterial mutations developing.


Best Food and Supplement Sources of Caprylic Acid

The very best source of caprylic acid is Coconuts, especially coconut oil, which is a great way to get concentrated medium-chain fatty acids. Other sources include grass-fed full-fat cow’s milk, Peanut butter, palm fruit oil and even Human breast milk.\

Coconut oil is the ideal way to obtain beneficial fatty acids like caprylic acid because it comes with so many other benefits. In fact, I recommend consuming coconut oil every single day if you can!
Some proven coconut oil benefits include:
  • boosting the immune system
  • preventing cancer
  • healing skin and acne
  • helping with weight loss
  • healing leaky gut syndrome
  • reducing allergies
  • improving heart health
  • supporting the thyroid gland
  • reducing fatigue
  • and many more

Caprlyic Acid Supplements: How Much and Which Kinds?

Aside from obtaining caprylic acid from whole food sources, supplements are now becoming more widely available. There isn’t a nutritional requirement for caprylic acid, so no recommended daily intake has been established. However, health professionals often recommend taking about 500 to 1,000 milligrams, three times a day in capsule form, for optimal results.

According to National Yeast Infection Organization, caprylic acid in capsules might be more effective compared to capyrlic acid taken in liquid form. The capsules appear to help slowly release the fatty acids into the bloodstream so they effectively make it to the intestinal tract without causing side effects. The recommended dosage for treating yeast infections (interal or external) in adults 18 years and older is 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per day. It can be taken three times a day about 30 minutes before every meal.

If you’re new to taking caprylic acid, start slowly to prevent stomach pains. Taking a 500-milligram capsule once or twice a day is recommended in the beginning, and then increasing the dosage as you feel comfortable for about three to four months until the condition improves. It’s believed that slowly increasing the dosage helps yeast die off effectively and won’t shock your system into producing even more of an autoimmune reaction.

Caprylic acid is generally recognized as safe when taken in capsule form, and little to no side effects have been reported at these levels. Large amounts of caprylic acid mixed with other medium-chain triglycerides have caused gastrointestinal problems in a small number of people, but this isn’t common and is generally nothing to worry about. One thing to note is that capsules of caprylic acid aren’t recommended for breastfeeding or pregnant women because they can cause some nausea and aggravate existing

The 5 Worst Artificial Sweeteners

Worst artificial sweeteners

If you haven’t stopped using artificial sweeteners, please do so immediately! Artificial sweeteners, or non-nutritive sweeteners as they are sometimes referred to, have been controversial since they were first introduced to the market in the 1950s, and scientific research shows they are associated with many dangerous side effects.

Introduced to satisfy consumers’ sweet tooth, these artificial sweeteners with no calories seemed, at the time, like good alternatives to refined sugars and natural sweeteners. However, the side effects simply aren’t worth it. These fake sweeteners cause symptoms that range from headaches and migraines to weight gain and even more serious conditions like cardiovascular disease. (1)

What many people don’t realize is that artificial sweeteners also can cause a dangerous addiction — an addiction to overly sweet foods. They retrain the taste buds to need more and more, sweeter and sweeter foods. This leads to even greater incidences of obesity, type 2 diabetes, kidney damage and so much more.
So how does the use of artificial sweeteners contribute to addiction? Researchers believe that part of the reason is that individuals will just find other foods to fill the calorie gap in order to become satiated. We’ve all seen people order diet sodas, only to then order one of the most calorie-ridden items on a menu. That’s because non-nutritive sweeteners provide virtually no sense of satisfaction. (2)

What’s the difference between a nutritive sweetener and a non-nutritive sweetener? Caloric content. Nutritive sweeteners contain calories while non-nutritive sweeteners have zero calories or are virtually calorie-free. No calorie sweeteners may sound like a good idea when you look to lose weight, but they aren’t. Their side effects far outweigh potential benefits of a low-calorie sweetener, and they are actually linked with weight gain, not weight loss.

Holly Strawbridge, former editor of Harvard Health, points out that while FDA studies have “ruled out cancer risk” for non-nutritive sweeteners, all of the studies conducted were based on significantly smaller doses than the 24 ounces a day average of diet soda. (3) As portion sizes continue to grow out of control with 30-ounce, 40-ounce and even 50-ounce fountain sodas, it’s vital to recognize that these portions have not been evaluated for their safety.

In addition, another study on the effects of artificial sweeteners on atherosclerosis found that daily consumption of drinks with artificial sweeteners creates a 35 percent greater risk of metabolic syndrome and a 67 percent increased risk for type 2 diabetes. (4) Atherosclerosis is when plaque builds up inside the arteries leading to strokes, heart attacks and even death. (5)
There is additional evidence that links artificial sweeteners to the development of glucose intolerance and other metabolic conditions that result in higher than normal blood glucose levels. (6) According to a study published in Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, frequent consumption of sweet-tasting, non-caloric foods interferes with metabolic function.

 Common Artificial Sweeteners

Here are five of the most popular (and dangerous) artificial sweeteners on the market today. They can severely harm your health. First, it’s important to be able to recognize artificial sweeteners on the labels of pre-packed and processed foods. Check all ingredient labels carefully for the following.
  • Aspartame
  • Acesulfame potassium
  • Saccharin
  • Sucralose
  • Xylitol

Where Dangerous Artificial Sweeteners Hide

People are often surprised at how often dangerous artificial sweeteners are included in prepared foods, medications and beverages. Here are a few surprising examples of where to check for the dangerous sweeteners mentioned above. 
  1. Toothpaste and mouthwash
  2. Children’s chewable vitamins
  3. Cough syrup and liquid medicines
  4. Chewing gum
  5. No-calorie waters and drinks
  6. Alcoholic beverages
  7. Salad dressings
  8. Frozen yogurt and other frozen deserts
  9. Candies
  10. Baked goods
  11. Yogurt
  12. Breakfast cereals
  13. Processed snack foods
  14. “Lite” or diet fruit juices and beverages
  15. Prepared meats
  16. Nicotine gum
This isn’t an exhaustive list. Please carefully read the labels of the foods you purchase to ensure you don’t consume these dangerous chemicals.

Dangerous Artifical Sweeteners

5 Worst Artificial Sweeteners

Again, please avoid these artificial sweeteners. There are plenty of natural, healthy sweeteners available that provide essential nutrients and taste great.
  1. Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet, NatraTaste Blue)
  2. Sucralose (Splenda)
  3. Acesulfame K (ACE K, Sunette, Equal Spoonful, Sweet One, Sweet ‘n Safe)
  4. Saccharin (Sweet ‘N Low, Sweet Twin)
  5. Xylitol, Sorbitol
PepsiCo Inc. recently announced it’s reformulating Diet Pepsi, Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi and Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi sold in the United States. It’s removing aspartame from the formula and replacing it with sucralose and Ace-K due to declining sales. According to Senior Vice President Seth Kaufman,
To Diet Pepsi consumers, removing aspartame is their No. 1 concern. We’re listening to consumers. It’s what they want. (7)
This does not make diet sodas with artificial sweeteners any safer. Sucralose and Ace-K both have dangerous side effects; Pepsi is switching the formula not for the health of its consumers — after all, they are keeping Diet Mountain Dew exactly the same — but because consumers are aware of the dangers of aspartame.
Unfortunately, the general population isn’t as aware of the dangers of sucralose and Ace-K, and PepsiCo believes that this change in formulation will increase sales. Don’t be tricked by marketing ploys; aspartame, sucralose and Ace-K are all bad for your health.
1. Aspartame – (Equal, NutraSweet, NatraTaste Blue)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved aspartame nearly 35 years ago. It’s currently used in more than 6,000 consumer foods and drinks, and over 500 prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. It hides in places we don’t expect! Because aspartame isn’t heat-stable, it’s typically found in drinks and foods that haven’t been heated.
According to a recent study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, “A re-evaluation of the current position of the international regulatory agencies must be considered an urgent matter of public health.” This recommendation is due to the study’s findings that aspartame has carcinogenic effects. (8)
This study found that aspartame may impair memory performance and increase oxidative stress in the brain. In addition, if you are pregnant or nursing, avoid this dangerous artificial sweetener at all costs. A recent study points to alarming news for women who consume artificial sweeteners during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It appears that aspartame, in particular, can predispose babies to metabolic syndrome disorders, and obesity, later in life. (9)
Common side effects of aspartame include headaches, migraines, mood disorders, dizziness and episodes of mania. Comprising phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol, these substances can stay in the liver, kidneys and brain for quite some time.
2. Sucralose (Splenda)
Sucralose, derived from sugar, was originally introduced as a natural sugar substitute. However, in reality, it’s a chlorinated sucrose derivative. Yes, chlorine, one of the most toxic chemicals on the planet! Sucralose was originally found through the development of a new insecticide compound and wasn’t originally intended to be consumed.
At 600 times sweeter than sugar, it’s easy to see how the use of sucralose, or Splenda (!), can contribute to an addiction for overly sweet foods and drinks. In June 2014, the Center for Science in the Public Interest placed Splenda in its “caution” category, pending a review of a medical study that found it could be linked to leukemia in mice.
A study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health found that cooking with sucralose at high temperatures can generate dangerous chloropropanols – a toxic class of compounds. Human and rodent studies demonstrate that sucralose may alter glucose, insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 levels. Last but not least, it isn’t biologically inert, meaning that it can be metabolized and have a toxic effect on the body. (10)

Worst artifical sweeteners

3. Acesulfame K (ACE, ACE K, Sunette, Sweet One, Sweet ‘N Safe)
Composed of a potassium salt that contains methylene chloride, Acesulfame K is routinely found in sugar-free chewing gum, alcoholic beverages, candies and even sweetened yogurts. It’s often used in combination with aspartame and other noncaloric sweeteners.
ACE K has undergone the least amount of scientific scrutiny even though long-term exposure to methylene chloride, a main chemical component, has been shown to cause nausea, mood problems, possibly some types of cancer, impaired liver and kidney function, problems with eyesight, and perhaps even autism. (11)
In addition to sweetening foods, it’s becoming increasingly popular as a “flavor enhancer.” ACE K is heat-stable and routinely found in highly processed foods and baked goods. The human body can’t break it down, and it’s believed to negatively affect the metabolism.
4. Saccharin (Sweet ‘N Low)
In the 1970s, saccharin and other sulfa-based sweeteners were believed to possibly cause bladder cancer, and it was required to carry the following warning label: “Use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals.” (12)
The FDA removed this warning, but many studies continue to link saccharin to serious health conditions. Sadly, it’s the primary sweetener for children’s medications, including chewable aspirin, cough syrup, and other over-the-counter and prescription medications. It’s believed that saccharin contributes to photosensitivity, nausea, digestive upset, tachycardia and some types of cancer. (13)
5. Xylitol (Erythritol, Maltitol, Mannitol, Sorbitol and other sugar alcohols that end in –itol)
Sugar alcohols aren’t absorbed well by the body and cause an allergic reaction for those who have a sensitivity to it. In addition, it has gastrointestinal side effects that include bloating, gas, cramping and diarrhea. Its laxative effect is so pronounced that it’s actually part of the chemical makeup for many over-the-counter laxatives.
Even though these sweeteners have been on the market for decades, pregnant and breastfeeding women should select a natural sweetener instead. WebMD states: “Not enough is known about the use of xylitol during pregnancy and breast feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.” (14)
Special note to dog owners: Sugar alcohol-based artificial sweeteners are a life-threatening toxin to dogs. Be mindful of breath mints, candies, sugar-free gum, frozen desserts and other foods when your pets are around. (15)

Healthy Alternatives to Artificial Sweeteners

So, what are your options when you have a sweet tooth? All natural sweeteners — including maple syrup, coconut sugar, stevia, fruit purees and raw honey — are great, healthy substitutions. Keep packets of stevia with you so you don’t have to resort to artificial sweeteners provided by restaurants and cafes.
Start working to retrain your palette to enjoy the natural sweetness of foods, not added sweeteners. Try adding other flavors like tangy, tart, warm and savory to please your palette. For example, vanilla, cocoa, licorice, nutmeg and cinnamon enhance the flavor of foods, so you need less sweetness.
When you crave a sweet drink, try homemade infused waters or even my Watermelon Agua Fresca. It’s a light, sparkly and refreshing drink packed with nutrients and natural sweeteners. Start sweetening your ice tea with honey, coconut sugar or even maple syrup for a twist.

For a special (and healthful) treat, try my Peppermint Patties sweetened with honey and packed with all the health benefits of coconut oil. Be creative and experiment with new foods, healthy sweeteners and added flavors that keep you satisfied.
America’s obesity epidemic continues to grow, and it coincides with an increase in the widespread use of non-nutritive artificial sweeteners including aspartame, sucralose, saccharin and sugar alcohols.
Research shows that artificial sweeteners don’t satiate you the way real foods do. Instead, you end up feeling less satisfied and more prone to eating and drinking more, resulting in weight gain, in addition to potentially suffering dangerous side effects associated with artificial sweeteners. (16)

While I truly believe that everyone should avoid artificial sweeteners, it’s particularly important for children and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to refrain from these sweeteners. The risk is simply too great.

Fat Burning Remedy 2016: Avocado, Eggs, and Coconut Oil

If you want to get a flat belly fast, you MUST eat plenty of fat! Surprise? Well don't be. At the same time, not just any fat will do...some fats are no good at all, while others are health-boosting and fat-burning rock-stars!  Here are a few of my favorites that I personally eat just about every day...

Avocados - Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats as well as loads of vitamins to boot (E, K and C to mention just a few).  Not only that, but they pack a serious fiber punch, 5 grams in just a small half cup!  Between the fiber and healthy fat content, you'll have no problem staying full for hours after enjoying a delicious avocado.  Makes for a great snack, side dish with dinner, addition to salads, and of course there's always guacamole! You can as well juice it up with banana to make enjoyment tasting smoothie.

Eggs - Eggs are a great source of fat as well as high quality protein, just make sure you don't skip out on the yolk!  Why?  The yolk is by far the most nutritious part of the egg, providing over 11 vitamins and minerals including nearly 100% of the daily RDI of energy-boosting B12 from just 3 eggs daily.  They are a great breakfast item, but of course they can be enjoyed at any time of day!

Coconut oil - Coconut oil is one of the richest sources of perhaps the most beneficial fat known to man, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).  MCTs have been shown to improve brain function, lower cholesterol, improve skin and hair health, and best of all:  burn more fat!

Now, if you really want to get the cutting-edge on reducing belly fat, you'll be happy to know that a new breakthrough Tel Aviv University study discovered that if you consume this one specific "super nutrient" daily, you can lose flab and flatten your belly a whopping 145% FASTER... but the one catch is,  you MUST consume it immediately first thing in the morning for it to work.

==> Eat THIS first thing in the morning to accelerate fat-burning

Try it today for a month and just watch what happens,

Important Things You Must Know About Headaches, Hypertension And Stroke

Headaches, hypertension and stroke are health issues commonly affecting people and a renowned medical practitioner has addressed the link between them as well as other important issues to be taken note of.
 
There is a direct link between headaches, high blood pressure (or hypertension) and stroke. If you have high blood pressure and are experiencing constant headaches, chances are that you are well on your way to having a stroke.

Of course, not all headaches are due to high blood pressure, but all high blood pressure causes headaches. Although headaches may be due to several maladies, including tension, migraine, eye strain, dehydration, low blood sugar, sinusitis and common cold, much rarer are headaches due to life-threatening conditions such as meningitis, which is a bacterial infection of the brain covering, encephalitis – an infection of the brain; cerebral aneurysms (an expansion of the blood vessels in the brain), extremely high blood pressure and brain cancer.

Headaches
 
Headaches can also be due to brain injury, while many women also get headaches during or just before their monthly cycle. Pains in the neck or upper back can also be considered as headaches.

The types of headaches that are usually associated with hypertension are the ones you may get in the early mornings on waking up. When you have high blood pressure that is not treated properly, you may have headaches in the mornings, blurred vision and, sometimes, depression. What makes high blood pressure dangerous is that it can lead to a stroke, which is life-threatening; and can lead to death or severe physical and/or mental incapacitation. Only very few lucky and healthy individuals make a full recovery after a stroke.

Hypertension

Hypertension is commonly referred to as high blood pressure, where the blood pressure is chronically high. Hypertension occurs when blood is forced through the arteries at an increased pressure. The arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the heart to all other tissues and organs of the body. If you have high blood pressure, it does not necessarily mean that you are under excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase your blood pressure. In fact, some people may lead totally stress-free and laidback lives and still have high blood pressure because they have familial hypertension – that is, it runs in the family and is genetic.

Generally, the higher the blood pressure, the greater the risk of damage to several organs of the body, including the heart, kidney, arteries, eyes and brain.

Untreated hypertension affects all organs and can shorten life by up to 10 to 20 years. High blood pressure increases the risk of developing heart and kidney diseases, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), eye damage and stroke (brain damage).

By the time your blood pressure is above 140/90, you are considered to be hypertensive. Increase in diastolic pressure, which is the bottom part of the reading, is more important in defining someone as hypertensive. However, patients with diabetes mellitus or kidney disease with blood pressure as high as 130/80 mmHg should be considered in danger and in need of urgent treatment.

Proper diagnosis of high blood pressure is important, so that you can get the needed treatment to normalise the blood pressure and avoid associated complications. For older people over 50 years old, the systolic readings (upper readings) are more important. Systolic hypertension represents a greater risk for people over 50. Unless you have your blood pressure measured, you may never know you have hypertension. There are no symptoms, except that ‘nagging’ headache. That is why it is called the silent killer.

Stroke

A stroke is the sudden reduction of blood flow to a portion of the brain. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic, also known as thrombotic, which is caused by a blood clot in the brain; and haemorrhagic, which is caused by bleeding in the brain.

A stroke of any type is an extreme medical emergency and prompt treatment is imperative if the patient is to survive. Although haemorrhagic strokes account for 15 per cent of all strokes, patients suffering from this type of stroke are more likely to die. Sometimes, it is difficult for non-medical people to recognise that somebody is having a stroke, but immediate help is essential. A person suffering from stroke must get help no longer than three hours after the stroke for his life to be saved. So, it is important for family and friends to know the signs of a stroke by doing the following simple tests:
  •     Ask him/her to smile.
  •     Ask him to talk. He must say a simple sentence coherently.
  •     Ask him to raise both arms.
  •     Ask him to stick out his tongue. The tongue should not be twisted.
If he is having trouble doing any of these simple things, then he may be having a stroke.

Steps against stroke
  1. If you have persistent headaches, visit your doctor, especially if you are over 40.
  2. Once you are diagnosed as hypertensive and you are placed on medications, you must continue taking the medication for life.
  3. Hypertension is not a problem; the problem is usually the bad management or careless use of medication. Try to take your medication regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
  4. Stroke will usually occur in hypertensive people who forget to take their medication for a very long time and then get into a stressful situation.
  5. Regular exercise can help to lower your blood pressure.
  6. A good diet with low salt, low carbohydrate and moderate protein without red meat is very good for your health.
  7. Do not self-medicate with over the counter drugs to treat your headaches without first checking with your doctor, to rule out more serious illnesses.
  8. If you are over 50, you may take one tablet of aspirin daily to avoid blood clots, but take it with a meal to avoid stomach ulcer.
  9. Check your blood pressure regularly.
  10. Determine your stressors such as food intolerance or toxins
  11. Do annual medical check-ups around the month of your birthday.
  12. Regular detoxification ensures low blood pressure.

AVOID THESE 7 HEALTH-DESTROYING FOODS!


Every time you go grocery shopping, you're making decisions that will have an impact on your health. While you may be well aware that some items you toss in your grocery cart aren't the healthiest choice on the shelf, you may not realize just how unhealthy they truly are.

One bad food may not have long-term consequences for your health, but a cart full of processed foods loaded with carbs and sugar seriously endangers your health, and even some foods you may think are healthy are anything but good for you.

Here's a list of seven foods you should never eat:

• Microwave Popcorn:  A report from the FDA found that popcorn bags are linked with a chemical called Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), the same toxic chemical found in many non-stick pots and pans. PFOAs are linked to bladder cancer, thyroid problems, and high cholesterol. Some experts theorize that 20 percent of the PFOA found in our bodies comes from microwave popcorn. The smell of popcorn microwaved in a commercial bag is due to a chemical called diacetyl, a synthetic butter flavoring. It causes a disease called bronchiolitis obliterans, or "popcorn worker's lung," in factory workers who inhale the fumes. Due to public concerns, some manufacturers of popcorn have eliminated diacetyl.

• Processed meats: Hot dogs, bacon, ham, and other processed meats are loaded with unhealthy amounts of fat, salt, and preservatives, but that’s not all. They can also contain nitrites and nitrates, chemical additives used to enhance their taste, boost their color, and keep them from spoiling. Over 90 percent of nitrates tested have been found to cause cancer in various organs of the body, including the breast and stomach.
Bacon, salami, and other cured meats can aggravate respiratory diseases like chronic bronchitis and emphysema to the point of requiring a trip to the emergency room. Nitrates have been found to increase the risk of developing COPD, and to increase the chances of hospitalization from the disease. Nitrates can also trigger headaches in sensitive people.

• Farm raised fish:  According to the Environmental Working Group, most farm-raised fish are fed genetically modified feed. Fish tested were also contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at high levels, and were 16 times more likely to be contaminated than wild-caught fish. In addition, farm-fed fish were found to contain pesticides and other toxins from contaminated water that drains into ponds.
A study published in Science found that farmed salmon had 10 times the level of contaminants as wild salmon. Dr. David Carpenter, author of the study, told PBS that farmed salmon was so contaminated that eating more than one meal a month raised the risk for cancer. Some experts believe that some European farmed salmon should only be eaten once every four months.

• Margarine:  Although margarine was billed for decades as the healthy alternative to butter, many studies confirmed trans-fats in margarine raised cholesterol and damaged blood vessels. The more solid the margarine at room temperature, the more trans-fats it contained. Manufacturers have reformulated their products, but many health experts aren't convinced the products are healthy, as many contain genetically modified and artificial ingredients.

• Soft drinks: Whether sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners, sodas play havoc with your health. Sodas have been linked to the growing epidemics of obesity and diabetes. But sodas have also been linked to cancer: When sodium benzoate, used for mold prevention in many soft drinks, is mixed with vitamin C, it creates a carcinogenic substance called benzene. British researchers also found problems with sodium benzoate — they found it may be able to switch off vital parts of DNA in mitochondria, the "power station" of cells. The result could eventually causes cirrhosis of the liver and other degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's.

Researchers at India's Tata Memorial Hospital found a "very significant correlation" between soft drinks and an increased risk of esophageal cancer, and other studies have linked soft drinks to the risk of deadly pancreatic cancer.
Sodas are also linked to cardiovascular problems. A study published in Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, found that people who drank one or more soft drinks each day were 25 percent more likely to develop high blood triglycerides, and 32 percent more likely to have low levels of "good" cholesterol.

• Artificial sweeteners: "Artificial sweeteners are a disaster," says board-certified family physician Dr. David Brownstein. "They’re known to cause neurologic problems, autoimmune disorders, and probably cancer," he tells Newsmax Health.
We've been told for decades that artificial sweeteners help keep us slim, but recent studies have caused grave doubts. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio found those who drank diet sodas were more likely to become overweight than those who drank regular sugary sodas. For each can of diet soda consumed each day, the risk of obesity increased by 41 percent. After 10 years, those who drank two or more diet sodas a day increased their risk of obesity by 500 percent.

Artificial sweeteners also don't appear to lower the risk of diabetes. A study published in the journal Nature found that diet sodas change the microbes living in the gut in a way that increases the risk of diabetes, and a study conducted at the University of Minnesota found that a single diet soda daily raised the risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes by 36 percent.
Sodas may be harming women's bones. Researchers at Tufts University found that women who drank sodas, including diet sodas, had lower bone density than women who didn't drink them. The phosphoric acid in sodas leaches calcium from bones.

• Conventionally grown potatoes: Since they are a root vegetables, potatoes absorb all of the chemicals in the soil — herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. According to the USDA, 37 different pesticides have been found on conventionally grown potatoes. Of them, seven are possible carcinogens, nine are neurotoxins, and 12 are possible hormone disrupters. About 76 percent of all potatoes are contaminated with an herbicide called chlorpropham, which is used to keep potatoes from sprouting.

HOW TO PERMANENTLY CURE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INFECTION & OTHER INFECTIONS WITH NATURAL THERAPY

THE SECRET WEAPON OF STAPH AUREUS, MODE OF OPERATION & ITS NATURAL REMEDY


“Staphylococcus” is the common Staph infection. Now, there are about 40 sub-groups (for example Staphylococcus Epidermis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus Lugdunensis, etc.).

Staphylococcus Sub Species
Staph is usually treatable with antibiotics. Not all Staph is necessarily bad. For example, Staphylococcus Epidermis is on the skin. It is expected to be there. It is part of the normal skin make-up.
Staphylococcus fits into a group of bacteria called “L.A.B.” This stands for Lactic Acid Bacteria. Lactic Acid Bacteria are very common. In fact, yogurt is a Lactic Acid Bacteria. We have it in our stomachs and intestines.
Lactic Acid Bacteria are very simple to understand because they do the same thing over and over. They assimilate (eat) glucose, or sugar and it really doesn’t matter what kind of sugar. They gobble up sugar all day long and when they are done the by-product is Lactic Acid. Very simple.

Catalase and Coagulase
So, Staphylococcus bacteria is a type of Lactic Acid Bacteria. Something else interesting is that another by-product is Uric Acid. As early as the 1930s and way back then they knew Staphylococcus eats sugar and produces Lactic and Uric acids. Up until now we have been talking about “Staphylococcus” not “Staphylococcus aureus.” Staphylococcus aureus commonly colonizes the nostrils, the rest of the respiratory tract, open wounds and the urinary tract...

RISK FACTORS:
·         People with weak or compromised immune system
·         Cancer patient
·         Severe asthmatics
·         Diabetics

LONG TERM EFFECT OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AURUES INFECTION:
When Staphylococcus aureus infection is not properly managed it can lead to:
·         Low Sperm count in male
·         Infertility
·         Reduction in the male sexual reproduction organ
·         Watery Seminal fluid
·         It can even lead to death

Staphylococcus Aureus is the meaner older brother and not as treatable with antibiotics. It has a very improved ability to protect itself against the immune system & resist common and popular antibiotics such as:
  

 Methicillin, Penicillin, Augmentin, Offloxacin, Dicloxacillin, Nafcillin, Oxacillin, Cephalosporins, Vancomycin e.t.c. It has secret weapons: two enzymes that make it unique. If we’re going to unlock the mysteries of MRSA we must understand these two secret weapons.

ARE YOU READY? One enzyme is called Coagulase and the other is Catalase.
Coagulase is easy to remember because it is the same as coagulation of the blood (this is one way doctors know how to identify Staphylococcus aureus. It coagulates the blood around it. Catalase is the real secret weapon. Catalase is what makes MRSA so dangerous. We’ll get to that in a moment, just remember that Catalase is the KEY!.

Our immune system is one of the incredible wonders of life. When our immune system snaps into action it’s at a faster pace and has more drama than any movie you have ever seen.
Immediately, the immune system killer 'T' cells go to work. Our killer 'T' cells are like little military hummers. These killer 'T' cells have two guns on top to kill germs, bacteria, and virus. One is Hydrogen Peroxide. They
actually produce - on demand - Hydrogen Peroxide. Amazing!

The other is Nitric Oxide. These are the two defense systems. Now, as humans, we’re “aerobic,” meaning we live in a high oxygen environment. If you disagree, hold your breath!
Our immune system actually kills invaders with oxygen using Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide. As humans we live on oxygen and our immune system defends us with oxygen.

What a scene! We have a robot-like invader gobbling up sugar while the killer 'T' cell hummers are rushing in with guns blazing and firing big globs of Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide. Parts of the bacteria are dying off and floating away in the blood and the killer T cells are also dying as well. Why is Staphylococcus aureus able to defend itself in such a hostile environment?
For example, if a different Lactic Acid Bacteria found its way into the blood, the Killer T cells would kill it in no time at all. So what makes Staphylococcus aureus so tough?
It’s the enzyme Catalase. “Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that are exposed to oxygen, where it functions to catalyze the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one molecule of catalase can convert 40 million molecules of Hydrogen Peroxide to water and oxygen each second.”

Catalase
Did you catch that? Catalase can convert 40 million molecules of Hydrogen Peroxide to water and oxygen each second. Wow! That means it speedily renders the weapon of our immune system useless.
Our Killer T cells Are at a Huge Disadvantage in This Fight
Of course, our body has another defense system, which is to turn up the temperature. Our second danger is Sepsis. This is also known as Septic shock. If history has taught us anything it’s that war is expensive and war is dirty. This infection is no exception. Staphylococcus is toxic to the body so as it grows and multiplies, it is dying off at the same time. It travels into the blood stream as toxic garbage while at the same time our fallen heroes (the white blood cells that have now spent their usefulness) go into the bloodstream. Sepsis is a loosely defined term that basically

means your blood has become toxic, inflamed, and full of garbage thereby resulting in different symptoms such as  painful boils, rashes, itches, weakness, tiredness, pneumonia, cardiovascular challenges
Septic shock is just that… it’s the point where your blood is toxic and your body goes into shock.

Your liver and your kidneys cannot keep up with the job of cleaning that is required, so they become overwhelmed. There’s not much a doctor can do, he can give fluids and hope for the best.
Let’s end this story on a good note and say that the particular antibiotic that the doctor chose works and the immune system in combination with the antibiotic gets the upper hand on the bacteria and the bacteria is killed off.

Yeah, the good guys win!
Eventually the fever will come back down and the liver and kidneys will be able to clean up the garbage and then the body will return to normal. It’s a happy ending to a very scary story.

Every MRSA infection is different. What do I mean?
Most people never go through a dangerous fever and most people never go through sepsis. How can that be?

The Great MRSA Mistake
Let’s start another scenario. This time let’s take an average, everyday guy who then acquires a strange looking rash. It bothers him enough that he finally goes to the doctor to have it checked out.
The doctor tells him it doesn’t look good, then takes a culture of it and sends the man home with some oral antibiotics. A few days later the doctor calls him to let him know that the test results came back positive for

Staphylococcus aureus.
This man - and most doctors - are thinking his MRSA is just on the skin. Here is the mistake:
There is 90% odds that the same battle will happen inside him but his immune system quickly gave up, ran up the white flag, threw in the towel, and hardly even put up a fight.
When it comes to a boil, a rash, open sore, or folliculitis, the dangerous part is thinking that what you can see on the skin is the problem when in fact it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

People and doctors mistakenly think that it can be solved by making the rash go away either with topical antibiotics or a combination of topical antibiotics and oral antibiotics. Not true… not true at all!
Most doctors feel that the oral antibiotics are simply a precaution, just in case the bacteria gets inside. Staphylococcus aureus is a blood-borne bacteria and with something like a rash, folliculitis, a boil or any other common skin problem, the chance of it being inside in the blood is very high. (Sorry to have to break this news to you.)
The question must be asked, “Why would one person’s immune system put up such a hard fight that it would create sepsis and a fever and another person hardly knew that they were sick? May be they had a mild flu or

even just a slight fever before their immune system gave up and submitted to the assimilation by MRSA(Multiple Drug Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)

Why Some People Get MRSA, Why Some People Don’t
200 years ago everybody ate mostly organic foods fresh vegetables, fruits which makes them more healthy than people of nowadays. There was no soda, coffee wasn’t available to the general public and there was nothing known as non-organic because there were no fertilizers or ways to puff up chickens and cows nice and fat so they look healthy but inside are nutritionally starved.

200 years ago sugar had not made the devastating impact on society that it has now. You must admit we live in a different world today! Coffee, tea, wine, alcohol, and soda are everyday necessities for most people. The foods we eat have literally had acid added to them which is called “hydrogenation.” This keeps them from going bad so fast. Also, the foods we eat came from nutritionally stripped soil and had been pumped up by chemical fertilizers to make them look beautiful even though they are nutritionally empty.
How about stress? Do I really need to go on about stress? Are you stressed? It seems like everybody in the world is moving faster and stress is compounding. I have found that most of my clients will say they had extra
stress of some kind before an outbreak. Let me explain exactly how these things create an MRSA infection.

The Perfect MRSA Storm
We have learned we have Lactic Acid Bacteria in our intestines. All of those bacteria in our intestines gobble up sugar, then they convert that sugar into Lactic Acid, literally acidifying our intestinal tracts.
Our stomachs are acidic but as soon as the food passes from our stomach to the small intestine, the liver and gall bladder inject bile into the mixture of food that the stomach softened.
Bile is very alkaline and our intestines and the bacteria that live in them need a very specific acid/alkaline balance to thrive. If it becomes too acidic, then the only bacteria that can thrive are the ones that live in an acidic environment and now we can’t get the nutrition from our food because the miracle called our digestive tract is out of whack.

Our brains are screaming for nutrition, so we eat more (nutrient-stripped) food because we’re hungry and tired. It’s easy to make bad food choices when you’re hungry and tired. Yet this only proves to make the problem worse.

Beverages are easy to understand since coffee, tea, soda, alcohol and everything you can name besides milk is acidic. When any liquid is acidic it simply means that there is more hydrogen in the liquid than oxygen. That’s what pH stands for: it’s percentage or parts Hydrogen. pH is a measurement of hydrogen… that’s all.
There is a lot of misinformation about pH, but truly understanding pH is your key to never fearing MRSA again. Think of how profound this thought is… to be healthy, full of life and have a strong immune system, we need to be full of oxygen. The more hydrogen that is in our bodies, the less room there is for oxygen. We live in a world that shoves acid (hydrogen) down our throats faster than any time in human history.

The More Acid or Full of Hydrogen We Are, the Weaker Our Killer T Cells Will Be. Remember, the guns that our killer T cells shoot the bad guys with use oxygen (Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide) so instead of a cannon, they have squirt guns to fight with. The body turns to its alkaline minerals to buffer the acidity but we have stripped them out of our food as well. We’re on a crazy train and wonder why we get sick, then blame the doctor for not giving us a magic pill to make it all go away. Let me ask you something and this may be a bit of a harsh reality check for you…

Question: Say you get on an elevator and another person on the elevator is sick and coughing. Later that day you come down with a cold… who’s fault is it? Is it your fault or the person that got on the elevator with the cold? If you take responsibility for your own life and your own health you would say it’s your fault for getting sick. Why? Because there is only one person in the world responsible for you and your health and that’s you. You are responsible for what you think and how you deal with stress and for what you put in your mouth.

Consider MRSA Infection Your Wake Up Call.
Are you ready for the true cause of MRSA? I have heard from several people and they’ll give me every reason under the sun as to how they contracted MRSA.
They got it from the gym, they got it from someone cooking dinner, they got it from a relative, they got it from the hospital, and the list goes on. But you tell me… how can you have a husband and wife and let’s say for

example the husband has horrible terrible MRSA open wounds for several years while the wife–who sleeps in the same bed and showers in the same shower– never has the slightest sign of catching MRSA?
The answer is some people are just more prone to get MRSA than others. The reason they are more prone is the acid/alkaline hydrogen/oxygen balance in their body!

The True Cause of MRSA is The Unnatural World We Live In!

We eat foods and drink beverages and live our lives in a way that is not natural!This bacteria has not changed, true it has mutated and become resistant to our antibiotics but that does not mean it has changed its general nature. It still eats sugar, produces Lactic Acid and makes more bacteria. The fermenting process mentioned earlier requires a low oxygen environment. What does that mean?

A Quick Lesson About pH That You Need to LearnLet’s say you have a glass of water that has a pH of exactly 7. This means it is completely neutral. It has two hydrogens and one oxygen. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with 7 in the middle.Now you take a cap of vinegar (vinegar is very acidic) and pour it into the water. When you check the pH (remember you’re only looking at the “percentage of hydrogen”) it will be lower–let’s say a six.All that means is now the percentage of hydrogen is higher. It may seem a little backwards but that number reads lower. Every number lower is 10 times the previous number so a 5 pH would be 100 times more acidic than a 7 pH and a 4 pH would be 1000 times more acidic than a seven.There’s no need to get into mind bending chemistry here. I just want you to know that the more acid that is in a liquid, the more hydrogen is in there.

The opposite is true too. If you have water and add alkaline minerals, now you have more oxygen and less hydrogen. This is important because this exact same thing is going on in the human body.We are adding hydrogen to our bodies like never before in human history and as I previously mentioned, food, stress, sugar, and beverages are the cause of MRSA!It drives me up the wall when I find a website that talks about “frequent hand washing” as a way to prevent MRSA. This is pure ignorance. There’s no way to avoid it. You will come into contact with this bacteria thousands
of times.
If your blood is full of hydrogen and low in oxygen, your killer T cells’ guns won’t work at all. On the day Staphylococcus aureus shows up and finds its way into your blood stream or on your skin, if the environment is very acidic then the oxygen levels will be low. Therefore, it’s easy for the bacteria to ferment sugars and start to replicate sooner and faster. At the same time your little army men are at a tremendous disadvantage because their guns just don’t work. The oxygen in the Hydrogen Peroxide and Nitric Oxide get gobbled up by the surrounding blood.The results are they can fire their guns but their shots just don’t seem to hit. At the same time Staphylococcus aureus is stronger because it’s in an environment that suits its needs better, it can defend itself better, and you my friend will find yourself on the losing end of battle.
Real world testBeing in a condition called Lactic Acidosis is a lot like being in quicksand. As you know, with quicksand you can struggle and struggle and yet never seem to break free.It’s incredibly difficult to break free of Lactic Acidosis. Doctors have nothing to stop the tremendous amounts of Lactic Acid build-up inside the human body.Every minute of every day, this bacteria is gobbling up sugar and producing more. So how could you ever possibly hope to dig yourself out of the hole called Lactic Acidosis?What about food? There are some people that have eaten nothing but raw organic food for two years since they were diagnosed with MRSA and yet they still have MRSA. You can’t get out of Lactic Acidosis with food because you have millions or trillions of tiny Lactic Acid factories pumping out Lactic Acid every minute of every day. Even the best food can’t stop that.We need to not only get out of Lactic Acidosis, but get back to a stronger position than when we started. Strong enough and so full of oxygen that the human body can literally oxidize and kill the bacteria.

This Knowledge is a Huge Gift… My Gift to You!What is needed is to tilt the acidity scale to the alkaline scale and keep it tilted in the right direction until his killer T cells can not only destroy the bacteria, but be strong enough to keep it away in the future.That’s why doctors say, “if you have MRSA once you will always have it.” I say if they would come out of the stone age and address the problem (Lactic Acid), anybody can be MRSA-free for life! You need to remember the reason you got MRSA. It’s because you have lived in a world of poisonous food and a severe lack of nutrition. Once you become MRSA-free, it’s your job to make up for lost nutrition. It’s a total shift in the way we see the world.

First things first, how do you get out of Lactic Acidosis?The short answer is you remove hydrogen… a lot of hydrogen!A person with MRSA is basically a toxic hydrogen bomb. They are full of extra hydrogen or free radicals or toxins.So the natural remedy to this Staph infection menace is the powerful combination of

How Do You Know If MRSA is Gone?
The problem is that MRSA blood tests are not accurate. The best time to take a blood sample to test for MRSA is when the patient is near or in sepsis.
What I’m saying is, it’s frustrating. If you want to know if you are 100% MRSA-free you can take a blood test, but it will probably come back negative because MRSA is hard to detect in the blood.
It has been found out  that most of our people with Staph infection can rid themselves of MRSA within 60-90 days of taking the combination of the ”BBGE Combination Therapy”. Not because they had a blood test to tell them but they know because of how they feel. They know because they feel fantastic and know they will never allow themselves to get back to where they were before they got MRSA the first time.
Some take more time, some take less. The trick is to build up your energy and immune system to better than it was before the infection took hold!.
