The health effects of drinking soda - quotes from the experts. This is a compilation of quotes about the destructive health effects of soft drinks from some of the leading authors on health, nutrition and junk food. Michael Murray ND and Joseph Pizzorno ND Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition "The allergenicity of penicillin in the general population is thought to be at least ten percent. Nearly 25 percent of these individuals will display hives, angioedema, or anaphylaxis upon ingestion of penicillin. Hives and anaphylactic symptoms have been traced to penicillin in milk, soft drinks, and frozen dinners." "Many general dietary factors have been suggested as a cause of osteoporosis, including: low calcium-high phosphorus intake, high-protein diet, high-acid-ash diet, high salt intake, and trace mineral deficiencies. It appears that increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis. A deficiency of vitamin K...

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners... Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actual ly balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Oranges, Grapefruits , and other Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic , also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Kidney Beans actually heal and...

The other day, I encountered an uncommon medical diagnosis, abdominal epilepsy. Maybe I was absent when this was taught in med school or maybe it was mentioned but it just didn't register in my memory bank. Anyway, for those colleagues who haven't heard of this as well, here's what I found out about it, so that next time you are faced with a weird abdominal pain, you will think of abdominal epilepsy as a differential. There are many medical causes of abdominal pain; abdominal epilepsy is one of the rare causes. From a medical perspective, the term epilepsy refers not to a single disease, but to a group of symptoms with numerous causes. The common factor in all forms of epilepsy is an excessive electrical excitability of the brain. The increased excitation is called a seizure and may manifest as a partial or total loss of consciousness and muscle spasms or other involuntary movements. Many conditions can produce epilepsy. For example, a genetic predisposition is...

Who says Math and God cannot be put together? Philosophical minds would say 'math' sometimes goes too far in analyzing things that it undermines the sovereignty of God! We hear different prophets 'calculating' the end of times or, fortune tellers giving 'numbers' for luck etc. Indeed, there seems to be a basis of what they say about mathematics being a product of man's unGodly thoughts! But let's try to use math for God. Take a look at this... From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who s ay they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%. How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23...

Barotitis media is an inflammation of the ear caused by changes in atmospheric pressure. It is also called aerotitis. This is a problem of inflammation or bleeding in the middle ear caused by a difference between the air pressure in the middle ear and that of the atmosphere - as occurs in sudden changes of altitude, in diving, and in hyperbaric chambers. During a sudden increase in ambient pressure, gas must move from the nasopharynx into the middle ear to maintain equal pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane (ear drum). If the eustachian tube (connecting the middle ear to the back of the nose) is not functioning properly, as in upper respiratory tract infections or allergy, the pressure in the middle ear is lower than the ambient pressure. The relative negative pressure in the middle ear results in retraction of the tympanic membrane and a transudate of blood from the vessels in the lamina propria of the mucous membrane forms in the middle ear. Very severe press...

I have been consuming an average of 3 “Starbucks mug” amount of coffee for the past 2 months. For one, supply of coffee is ‘bottomless’ in my workplace and, given the location and facilities, it’s the only thing I can do to take a break from what I’m doing. Except for frequent trips to the urinal, I wasn’t experiencing any other side effects of excessive caffeine intake, until last week. I started to have lower eyelid twitching several times a day. I knew it was due to caffeine because I read it somewhere before that muscle twitches can sometimes be precipitated by caffeine, among others. I tried to look this up and here is what I found about it. Myokymia is the spontaneous, fine fascicular contractions of muscle without muscular atrophy or weakness. Eyelid myokymia typically involves the orbicularis oculi muscle of one of the lower eyelids; occasionally, the upper eyelids also can be affected. In most cases, it is benign, self-limited, and not associated with any disease. Inter...

Have time to read... very nice story.. A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion (prayer) in the Lord's house (church). He got dressed, set on his way to the Lord's house. On his way to the church, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself up, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to the Lord's house. On his way to the church, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes and was on his way to the Lord's house. On his way to the church, he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice on your way to the church, so I brought a lamp so I can light your way. The first man thanked him profusely and the two went on their way to the church. Once at the church, the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray with him. The seco...

I just realized that I am practically in front of the computer almost 12 hours a day. Good thing my migraine doesn’t come often, yet. But I do feel that my eyes ‘get heavy’ at night and I really think it’s because of the prolonged exposure to the radiation coming out from my monitor screen. Here’s a post regarding this common problem I am sure most of us have experienced even for once. Eye strain or asthenopia is an eye condition that manifests itself as eye fatigue, red eyes, eye strain, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache and occasional double vision. Symptoms often occur after reading, computer work, or other activities that involve tedious visual tasks. When concentrating on a visually intense task, such as continuously focusing on a book or computer monitor, the inner eye muscles may tighten, causing the eyes to get strained. With so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day, it comes to no surprise that we sometimes su...
