-------------- ------------------------------ Dear Canute, Have you ever heard
of the "cholesterol vitamin?" It has been shown to bring cholesterol levels
down on its own or can help prescription cholesterol-lowering medications work
like a charm. Allan Magaziner, DO, author of The All-Natural Cardio Cure,
reveals the name of the vitamin... reviews the impressive research on it thus
far... and tells how to use it to best effect.[link] Good news for all you
messy people! If you're a messy sort of person, your best bet might be to just
embrace it. David H. Freedman, coauthor of A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits
of Disorder, explains what major medical breakthrough was the direct result of
a messy office -- and tells what's wrong with tidy houses, clean desks and
manicured lawns. [link] All the best, Jessica KentEditorBottomLineSecrets.co m[

Offer WHY MOST HEALTH FOODS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY You can take vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants by the handful and still suffer poor health. Now we
know why. Our diets lack a vital food -- a type of nutrient that even
alternative doctors don't know about. Thanks to this supplement, a mother's
lifelong migraines disappeared, and a man with "terminal" kidney cancer was
alive 15 years later. There's more: It's the number two pain reliever in
Germany after aspirin. It outperforms prescription blood clot drugs and even
helps nine out of 10 autistic children. How can one supplement possibly do all
this? Just ask yourself: What if you were getting no vitamins in your diet?
You'd be very sick. This nutrient is just as important and you're getting
almost none. Click here to find out more...[link] -----------------------------
- ------------------------------ You Don't Need Drugs to Control Your
Cholesterol Allan Magaziner, DOMagaziner Center for Wellness and Anti-Aging
Medicine It's widely known that low cholesterol levels help prevent heart
attack and stroke. But that's only part of the story. Levels of HDL "good"
cholesterol must be high enough to carry harmful forms of cholesterol to the
liver to be excreted. New finding: Research has shown that decreasing LDL "bad
" cholesterol by 40% and increasing HDL by 30% lowers the risk for heart
attack or stroke by 70% -- a much greater reduction of risk than occurs from
lowering either total cholesterol or LDL levels. The pharmaceutical industry
has worked feverishly to develop a prescription medication that significantly
increases HDL levels, to be used as a complement to cholesterol-lowering
statins that focus primarily on lowering LDL levels. Latest development: The
new drug torcetrapib was pegged as a blockbuster that increases HDL levels by
60% -- that is, until last December, when late-stage clinical trials showed
that torcetrapib actually increased heart problems and death rates. What you
may not know: Therapeutic doses of niacin (vitamin B-3) effectively boost HDL
levels -- and lower LDL and total cholesterol. THE "CHOLESTEROL VITAMIN" Fifty
years ago, Canadian scientists discovered that high doses of nicotinic acid --
a form of niacin -- could lower total cholesterol. In a 1975 study of men with
heart disease, niacin was shown to reduce the rate of second heart attacks.
Later, niacin was found to boost heart-protective HDL levels. Although niacin
alone cannot help everyone with abnormal cholesterol levels -- often it is
best used in combination with a statin -- the vitamin is one of the most
effective nondrug therapies available. Ask your doctor about taking niacin if
after trying cholesterol-lowering medication you have suffered side effects or
your cholesterol levels have not improved within three months of getting a
cholesterol test. Or consider trying niacin with the nondrug therapies
described below. How to use: Start with 100 mg of niacin daily and build up
over one week to 500 mg a day. Every week, increase the dose by 500 mg until
you reach 2,000 mg a day, taken in three divided doses, with meals. Be certain
to use nicotinic acid, not niacinamide, a form of B vitamin that does not
improve cholesterol levels. Consult your doctor before taking niacin. The most
common side effect of niacin is flushing -- a warm, itchy, rash-like reddening
of the face, neck and chest, which lasts about 10 minutes. Flushing is caused
by niacin's ability to trigger vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). To
lessen this side effect, choose a form of niacin known as inositol
hexanicotinate. It helps prevent the flush without reducing niacin's
effectiveness. Caution: Niacin should be avoided by people with a history of
liver disease or stomach ulcers and used with caution by patients with
diabetes and/or gallbladder disease. In addition, high-dose niacin (2,000 mg
or more) may interact with certain medications, including alpha-blockers, such
as doxazosin (Cardura), and the diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage). OTHER
NONDRUG THERAPIES A diet that keeps sugar and processed food to an absolute
minimum and emphasizes fruits and vegetables... whole grains... beans... fish..
. lean meats... and nuts and seeds can help lower LDL cholesterol and raise
HDL levels. So can regular exercise, such as brisk walking, and losing excess
weight. Other nondrug approaches can lower total and LDL cholesterol and boost
HDL. Combine the following nondrug therapies with niacin for maximum
effectiveness... Red yeast rice. This Chinese medicine -- a yeast that is
grown on white rice, then fermented -- contains monacolins, substances that
act as naturally occurring statins. Research in China shows that red yeast
rice can lower total cholesterol by 11% to 30%. Typical use: Take 1,200 to 2,
400 mg a day of red yeast rice, in two to four doses, with meals. Not
recommended: Policosanol -- a supplement derived from cane sugar that also
contains natural statins -- has been widely promoted as effective for lowering
cholesterol. However, several recent studies show that policosanol has no
significant effect on cholesterol. Fish oil and flaxseed. Fish oil and
flaxseed supply omega-3 fatty acids, which lower total cholesterol and LDL
levels and raise HDL levels. Typical dose: For fish oil, take supplements
containing a total of 3 g daily of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). If you take a blood-thinning drug, such as aspirin
or warfarin (Coumadin), check with your doctor before taking this dose of fish
oil. Or use one to three teaspoons of ground flaxseed a day, sprinkled on food
or mixed with water or juice. Flaxseed also can help relieve constipation and
ease arthritis pain. Soy. Many studies show that soy can help lower total and
LDL cholesterol. Typical use: Try to get 20 g of soy protein a day -- the
equivalent of eight ounces of tofu... or one cup of edamame (soy) beans.
Important: Soy ice cream and other processed soy foods don't deliver enough
soy to help reduce cholesterol. Caution: If you have been diagnosed with a
hormone-dependent cancer, such as some breast malignancies, or are at risk for
such a condition, check with your doctor before adding soy to your diet. Plant
sterols. These natural substances, which block the absorption of cholesterol
in the intestines, are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and other
plants. Regular intake can reduce total cholesterol by 10% and LDL by 14%.
Products with plant sterols (or a similar form, plant stanols) include spreads,
salad dressings, snack bars and dietary supplements. Typical use: Aim for 1Â
g to 2 g daily of plant sterols. Walnuts. A recent study published in the
medical journal Angiology showed that people who ate a handful of walnuts
daily for eight weeks had a 9% increase in HDL. Walnuts contain polyphenol
antioxidants, which also inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Recommended
intake: One ounce of raw walnuts three times daily. E-mail this Article:[link]

DELICIOUS WONDER DRUG FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PRAISED BY HARVARD RESEARCHERS
According to recent estimates, nearly one in three American adults has high
blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off the
Caribbean coast of Panama, hypertension doesn't even exist. In fact, after age
60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a perfect 110/70.
Is it because they eat less salt? No. Kuna Indians eat as much, if not more
salt, than people in the US. Is it due to their genes? No. Kuna Indians who
move away from the islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood
pressure as anyone else! So what makes these folks practically "immune" to
hypertension -- and lets them enjoy much lower death rates from heart attacks,
strokes, diabetes, and cancer? Harvard researchers were stunned to discover
it's because they drink about 5 cups of cocoa each day. That's right, cocoa!
In fact, one study found cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose
aspirin! And, a Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa can also treat
blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, even impotence!

-- Hidden Benefits of Being Messy David H. Freedman Society isn't kind to
messy people. Parents punish children who won't clean their rooms, and bosses
question the competence of employees who have messy desks. But is messy really
so bad? Professional organizers claim that clutter costs us hours each day by
making it harder to find things. Our surveys, however, suggest that messy
people spend only nine minutes per day, on average, trying to find things in
their homes and another nine minutes trying to find things in their offices.
Most messy people can locate what they need fairly quickly -- they just look
where they last had the item. When a mess has been cleaned, it often takes
longer to remember where the item has been stored. Some experts believe we
need schedules and plans to stay headed in the right direction, but people
with plans often stick to those plans long after it should have been obvious
that their plans were not working. Disorganized people usually are better at
rolling with the punches and seizing serendipitous opportunities. Example:
Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when samples he had
carelessly left exposed in his mess of an office were contaminated while he
was on vacation. For many people, a certain amount of messiness can be
beneficial... Messy house What does a tidy home actually do for you? It will
not make you more productive -- the hours spent cleaning won't save you much,
if any, time finding things later. It will not make you healthier -- if
anything, exposure to the chemicals in household cleaners tends to be worse
for our health than living in a cluttered home, unless the mess is extreme and
dust and mold accumulate. Finally, a tidy home probably will not make you
happier -- perhaps you feel better when your house is neat, but if your family
does not share this passion for spotlessness, your demands for cleanliness are
likely to lead to arguments and unhappiness. What to do... Allow certain
sections of the house to be messy. Let your messy spouse have a disorganized
den... allow projects to pile up on the otherwise unused dining room table...
don't worry if the kids' rooms are a mess. Permit mess cycles. Don't try to
keep the home spotless all the time. Let the mess build, and pick up every few
weeks or when guests are coming. Cluttered desk Neat people tend to equate
messy desks with inefficiency, but for a naturally messy person, a messy desk
might be the most efficient arrangement. Helpful: Messes don't look as messy
when they're arranged in stacks. Things will be easy to find because they will
be piled close to where they were last used, and stacking is quicker than
organizing and filing. It doesn't take substantially longer to dig through a
pile of papers on a desk to find an item than it does to sort through a filing
cabinet trying to remember where the item was filed. Untidy yard Tending to a
lawn absorbs hours of our time, wastes hundreds of gallons of water and often
involves drenching the yard in pesticides. We all would be better off if "neat
" lawns were replaced with "messy" fields of native plants. You can make a
naturally landscaped lawn more palatable to fussy neighbors by placing a
border of neat grass around the edges. Also, explain to your neighbors what
you're doing and why. You might even get them thinking about their own lawns.

-------------- ------------------------------ Dear Canute, Have you ever heard
of the "cholesterol vitamin?" It has been shown to bring cholesterol levels
down on its own or can help prescription cholesterol-lowering medications work
like a charm. Allan Magaziner, DO, author of The All-Natural Cardio Cure,
reveals the name of the vitamin... reviews the impressive research on it thus
far... and tells how to use it to best effect.[link] Good news for all you
messy people! If you're a messy sort of person, your best bet might be to just
embrace it. David H. Freedman, coauthor of A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits
of Disorder, explains what major medical breakthrough was the direct result of
a messy office -- and tells what's wrong with tidy houses, clean desks and
manicured lawns. [link] All the best, Jessica KentEditorBottomLineSecrets.co m[

Offer WHY MOST HEALTH FOODS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY You can take vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants by the handful and still suffer poor health. Now we
know why. Our diets lack a vital food -- a type of nutrient that even
alternative doctors don't know about. Thanks to this supplement, a mother's
lifelong migraines disappeared, and a man with "terminal" kidney cancer was
alive 15 years later. There's more: It's the number two pain reliever in
Germany after aspirin. It outperforms prescription blood clot drugs and even
helps nine out of 10 autistic children. How can one supplement possibly do all
this? Just ask yourself: What if you were getting no vitamins in your diet?
You'd be very sick. This nutrient is just as important and you're getting
almost none. Click here to find out more...[link] -----------------------------
- ------------------------------ You Don't Need Drugs to Control Your
Cholesterol Allan Magaziner, DOMagaziner Center for Wellness and Anti-Aging
Medicine It's widely known that low cholesterol levels help prevent heart
attack and stroke. But that's only part of the story. Levels of HDL "good"
cholesterol must be high enough to carry harmful forms of cholesterol to the
liver to be excreted. New finding: Research has shown that decreasing LDL "bad
" cholesterol by 40% and increasing HDL by 30% lowers the risk for heart
attack or stroke by 70% -- a much greater reduction of risk than occurs from
lowering either total cholesterol or LDL levels. The pharmaceutical industry
has worked feverishly to develop a prescription medication that significantly
increases HDL levels, to be used as a complement to cholesterol-lowering
statins that focus primarily on lowering LDL levels. Latest development: The
new drug torcetrapib was pegged as a blockbuster that increases HDL levels by
60% -- that is, until last December, when late-stage clinical trials showed
that torcetrapib actually increased heart problems and death rates. What you
may not know: Therapeutic doses of niacin (vitamin B-3) effectively boost HDL
levels -- and lower LDL and total cholesterol. THE "CHOLESTEROL VITAMIN" Fifty
years ago, Canadian scientists discovered that high doses of nicotinic acid --
a form of niacin -- could lower total cholesterol. In a 1975 study of men with
heart disease, niacin was shown to reduce the rate of second heart attacks.
Later, niacin was found to boost heart-protective HDL levels. Although niacin
alone cannot help everyone with abnormal cholesterol levels -- often it is
best used in combination with a statin -- the vitamin is one of the most
effective nondrug therapies available. Ask your doctor about taking niacin if
after trying cholesterol-lowering medication you have suffered side effects or
your cholesterol levels have not improved within three months of getting a
cholesterol test. Or consider trying niacin with the nondrug therapies
described below. How to use: Start with 100 mg of niacin daily and build up
over one week to 500 mg a day. Every week, increase the dose by 500 mg until
you reach 2,000 mg a day, taken in three divided doses, with meals. Be certain
to use nicotinic acid, not niacinamide, a form of B vitamin that does not
improve cholesterol levels. Consult your doctor before taking niacin. The most
common side effect of niacin is flushing -- a warm, itchy, rash-like reddening
of the face, neck and chest, which lasts about 10 minutes. Flushing is caused
by niacin's ability to trigger vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). To
lessen this side effect, choose a form of niacin known as inositol
hexanicotinate. It helps prevent the flush without reducing niacin's
effectiveness. Caution: Niacin should be avoided by people with a history of
liver disease or stomach ulcers and used with caution by patients with
diabetes and/or gallbladder disease. In addition, high-dose niacin (2,000 mg
or more) may interact with certain medications, including alpha-blockers, such
as doxazosin (Cardura), and the diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage). OTHER
NONDRUG THERAPIES A diet that keeps sugar and processed food to an absolute
minimum and emphasizes fruits and vegetables... whole grains... beans... fish..
. lean meats... and nuts and seeds can help lower LDL cholesterol and raise
HDL levels. So can regular exercise, such as brisk walking, and losing excess
weight. Other nondrug approaches can lower total and LDL cholesterol and boost
HDL. Combine the following nondrug therapies with niacin for maximum
effectiveness... Red yeast rice. This Chinese medicine -- a yeast that is
grown on white rice, then fermented -- contains monacolins, substances that
act as naturally occurring statins. Research in China shows that red yeast
rice can lower total cholesterol by 11% to 30%. Typical use: Take 1,200 to 2,
400 mg a day of red yeast rice, in two to four doses, with meals. Not
recommended: Policosanol -- a supplement derived from cane sugar that also
contains natural statins -- has been widely promoted as effective for lowering
cholesterol. However, several recent studies show that policosanol has no
significant effect on cholesterol. Fish oil and flaxseed. Fish oil and
flaxseed supply omega-3 fatty acids, which lower total cholesterol and LDL
levels and raise HDL levels. Typical dose: For fish oil, take supplements
containing a total of 3 g daily of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). If you take a blood-thinning drug, such as aspirin
or warfarin (Coumadin), check with your doctor before taking this dose of fish
oil. Or use one to three teaspoons of ground flaxseed a day, sprinkled on food
or mixed with water or juice. Flaxseed also can help relieve constipation and
ease arthritis pain. Soy. Many studies show that soy can help lower total and
LDL cholesterol. Typical use: Try to get 20 g of soy protein a day -- the
equivalent of eight ounces of tofu... or one cup of edamame (soy) beans.
Important: Soy ice cream and other processed soy foods don't deliver enough
soy to help reduce cholesterol. Caution: If you have been diagnosed with a
hormone-dependent cancer, such as some breast malignancies, or are at risk for
such a condition, check with your doctor before adding soy to your diet. Plant
sterols. These natural substances, which block the absorption of cholesterol
in the intestines, are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and other
plants. Regular intake can reduce total cholesterol by 10% and LDL by 14%.
Products with plant sterols (or a similar form, plant stanols) include spreads,
salad dressings, snack bars and dietary supplements. Typical use: Aim for 1Â
g to 2 g daily of plant sterols. Walnuts. A recent study published in the
medical journal Angiology showed that people who ate a handful of walnuts
daily for eight weeks had a 9% increase in HDL. Walnuts contain polyphenol
antioxidants, which also inhibit oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Recommended
intake: One ounce of raw walnuts three times daily. E-mail this Article:[link]

DELICIOUS WONDER DRUG FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE PRAISED BY HARVARD RESEARCHERS
According to recent estimates, nearly one in three American adults has high
blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off the
Caribbean coast of Panama, hypertension doesn't even exist. In fact, after age
60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a perfect 110/70.
Is it because they eat less salt? No. Kuna Indians eat as much, if not more
salt, than people in the US. Is it due to their genes? No. Kuna Indians who
move away from the islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood
pressure as anyone else! So what makes these folks practically "immune" to
hypertension -- and lets them enjoy much lower death rates from heart attacks,
strokes, diabetes, and cancer? Harvard researchers were stunned to discover
it's because they drink about 5 cups of cocoa each day. That's right, cocoa!
In fact, one study found cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose
aspirin! And, a Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa can also treat
blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, even impotence!

-- Hidden Benefits of Being Messy David H. Freedman Society isn't kind to
messy people. Parents punish children who won't clean their rooms, and bosses
question the competence of employees who have messy desks. But is messy really
so bad? Professional organizers claim that clutter costs us hours each day by
making it harder to find things. Our surveys, however, suggest that messy
people spend only nine minutes per day, on average, trying to find things in
their homes and another nine minutes trying to find things in their offices.
Most messy people can locate what they need fairly quickly -- they just look
where they last had the item. When a mess has been cleaned, it often takes
longer to remember where the item has been stored. Some experts believe we
need schedules and plans to stay headed in the right direction, but people
with plans often stick to those plans long after it should have been obvious
that their plans were not working. Disorganized people usually are better at
rolling with the punches and seizing serendipitous opportunities. Example:
Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when samples he had
carelessly left exposed in his mess of an office were contaminated while he
was on vacation. For many people, a certain amount of messiness can be
beneficial... Messy house What does a tidy home actually do for you? It will
not make you more productive -- the hours spent cleaning won't save you much,
if any, time finding things later. It will not make you healthier -- if
anything, exposure to the chemicals in household cleaners tends to be worse
for our health than living in a cluttered home, unless the mess is extreme and
dust and mold accumulate. Finally, a tidy home probably will not make you
happier -- perhaps you feel better when your house is neat, but if your family
does not share this passion for spotlessness, your demands for cleanliness are
likely to lead to arguments and unhappiness. What to do... Allow certain
sections of the house to be messy. Let your messy spouse have a disorganized
den... allow projects to pile up on the otherwise unused dining room table...
don't worry if the kids' rooms are a mess. Permit mess cycles. Don't try to
keep the home spotless all the time. Let the mess build, and pick up every few
weeks or when guests are coming. Cluttered desk Neat people tend to equate
messy desks with inefficiency, but for a naturally messy person, a messy desk
might be the most efficient arrangement. Helpful: Messes don't look as messy
when they're arranged in stacks. Things will be easy to find because they will
be piled close to where they were last used, and stacking is quicker than
organizing and filing. It doesn't take substantially longer to dig through a
pile of papers on a desk to find an item than it does to sort through a filing
cabinet trying to remember where the item was filed. Untidy yard Tending to a
lawn absorbs hours of our time, wastes hundreds of gallons of water and often
involves drenching the yard in pesticides. We all would be better off if "neat
" lawns were replaced with "messy" fields of native plants. You can make a
naturally landscaped lawn more palatable to fussy neighbors by placing a
border of neat grass around the edges. Also, explain to your neighbors what
you're doing and why. You might even get them thinking about their own lawns.
