I'd rather fall off a cliff

Dear THB Reader, Would you rather slide down a mountain or fall off a cliff? Strange question, I know. But it has everything to do with how well you age. Me? I would rather fall off a cliff. Let me show you what I mean... The way most of us age is like climbing a mountain. We reach the peak around 50 years old. Then for the next 20 or 30 years, we gradually slide downhill – losing our smarts, our strength, our health... and finally our dignity. But some people – about 10% of the population – "fall off a cliff." They maintain their wits, their abilities and their health until the very end. When their number is up, they die peacefully and with dignity. Scientists have a name for this. They call it the "rectangularization of the survival curve." I prefer to call it your healthspan. The goal is to have a healthspan equal to your lifespan. After all, what good is a long life, if you can't enjoy it? Would you like to be among the few who enjoy a very long healthspan? If so, I encourage you to read this report. To Your Health, Jon Herring Editorial Director Total Health Breakthroughs

THB: The Friendliest Way to Lose Weight in 2010

The Friendliest Way to Lose Weight in 2010 December 30, 2009 Jon Herring Editorial Director, Total Health Breakthroughs About this time ten years ago, I went through a rough patch in my life. Not long before that, I owned a successful business. I was young and prosperous. I was able to travel. And though I worked long hours, I had the freedom to work where and when I wanted. I exercised frequently. I was eating well and I felt great. I could only see blue skies ahead. Then, in a rather short period of time, it fell apart. The business failed, for reasons mostly out of my control. I lost a good deal of money. I started another business that went nowhere fast. And a few months later, I found myself with no job, few prospects, and just enough money for bills that month. A friend of mine owned a restaurant. So I went to work waiting tables. I slowly got back on my feet financially. But I was still depressed. My solace was food. I was drinking soft drinks. I was always snacking on bread. And since I was always around food, I ate everything in sight, even when I wasn't hungry. In no time at all, I gained about 30 pounds. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. My skin started breaking out. And I became even more depressed about my situation. But I wasn't broken and I decided to make a change. I knew that if I wanted to regain anything financially and emotionally, I had to focus on my health first. Within a few short months, I was in better shape than I had been in years. I felt great. I had more energy. My skin cleared up. And feeling so much better about myself, I went on to have a great year financially. But this essay is not about my financial transformation. I want to tell you about my health transformation. There were three keys that made it work. I'm not going to tell you what I ate, how much I ate, or how I prepared my food. And I'm not going to tell you how much I exercised, or what kind of exercise I did to get back in shape. You might think those two things are the most important when it comes to losing weight and transforming your health. But they are not. Show a Younger Face to the World By repairing your skin's DNA, you can soften your skin and erase wrinkles, tighten up your sagging jaw line, make your crow's feet disappear, and banish sun and aging spots. This Nobel Prize winning secret makes it possible. Your "telomeres" determine how long your skin cells live. Telomeres are the "time keepers" attached to every strand of DNA. Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter your telomeres, the more your skin cells age... causing dry and wrinkled skin. Maintain the length of your telomeres, your skin will stay supple, radiant, and youthful. Dr. Sears' Revive DNA Repair Cream turns back your skin's aging clock and helps you show a younger face to the world. Believe it or not, there are three steps that are even more important than what you eat or how you exercise. Because without taking these three steps first, your chances of sticking to your plan diminish significantly. These three steps will make or break your fat loss and health transformation efforts. 1. Write down your goals and deadlines and make a detailed plan to achieve them. 2. Benchmark your starting point. Then document and measure your progress. 3. Communicate your goals and enlist the support of others. This is critical! I am going to go over these three steps in more detail. Then I would like for you to comment on this article, with your own goals and plans for the New Year. So please read to the end! Write Down Your Goals and Make a Detailed Plan As with anything you set out to do, the first step is to determine exactly what you want to accomplish. Be specific and descriptive. How much weight would you like to lose? In what amount of time? In what measurable ways would you like to improve your health? Want to give up sweets? Set a future date that you won't put a taste of sugar in your mouth until that time comes. Whatever your goals are, write them down and be specific. Also write down the reasons you intend to accomplish these goals. You have to have a "why". Maybe you want to look your best for a trip to the beach. Maybe you want to wear the same size jeans you wore in high school. Maybe you want to compete in a road race or a martial arts competition. Perhaps you want more energy to play with your kids. Or you want to live long enough to see your grandkids grow up. Whatever your reasons are... big or small... immediate or far out into the future... write those things down. Then you need to write down your plans to achieve those goals. If your nemesis is junk food, don't allow it in your house. Discard any temptation and fill your cupboards and refrigerator with healing foods. Plan and prepare your meals ahead of time. You never want to get too hungry or go too long between meals. That is when your willpower will break down. Make a plan for when you will exercise and put it on a schedule. Document and Measure Your Progress Now, you have your goals and plans in place. Next, you need to establish your starting point. If your goals involve your health, perhaps you want to improve certain blood tests. Maybe you want to lower your fasting insulin so you can get off diabetes medication. Maybe you want to get your blood pressure in a healthy range and ditch those meds too. Whatever it is, you need to set a starting point for the markers you want to improve. If your goals involve fitness and fat loss, you should take measurements of your body, bodyfat percentage and your weight. You should also take some photos of yourself. And continue to take photos every two weeks along the way. Just be sure to keep the variables the same. Stand in the same place. Wear the same clothes. Keep the lighting the same. The most accurate yardstick is your body measurements. If your goal is to transform your body, take the following measurements with a flexible tape measure: Arm - flex your bicep and measure the biggest part Hips - look to the side and measure the biggest part of your butt Navel - measure around your belly, even with your belly button Waist - measure the narrowest part of your waist Chest - measure just above the nipple, with your breath out Your body tape measurements will tell you where you are gaining or losing inches. But they won't tell you what you are gaining or losing. The goal is to gain or maintain muscle, while losing fat. And the way to tell that is by calculating your bodyfat. You can do that with a simple caliper, or you can go to a gym and have your bodyfat measured. Of course, you should weigh yourself before you begin. And you should track your progress along the way. Weigh yourself at the same time each time. But don't weigh yourself every day. There are a lot of things that can affect your weight. You don't want to get discouraged, just because you gained a few pounds of water weight. Once or twice a week on the scale is best. And don't worry if the scale is not dead accurate. Your progress is what is important. And as long as you use the same scale every time, you'll know if you're making progress. Become Accountable to Other People The third - and the most important - step is to communicate your plan and enlist the help of other people. My personal experience, along with numerous studies, proves that social support is one of the most important factors in transforming your health and losing weight successfully. In one study, performed at Brown University School of Medicine, the subjects were a group of overweight men and women. They were scheduled to attend group exercise sessions to lose weight. Each participant was encouraged to bring up to 3 support partners who would also participate. What the researchers discovered is that the number of support partners each participant had didn't matter, but the success of those partners mattered a great deal. They found that each test subject's weight loss was closely associated with the success of their partners. They also found that those with successful partners lost significantly more weight. And finally, the more often the subject attended counseling sessions, the greater their success. Another study at the famous Karolinska Institute in Sweden tracked men and women who used an Internet weight loss club. They found that the people who used the website the most also lost the most weight. Many other studies confirm the importance of social support. And it just makes sense. If you want to succeed in business, you need to hang out with successful business people. If you want to stop drinking, you need to hang out with people who don't go to bars every night. The best case scenario is to have a partner - or even better, multiple partners - that you can exercise with and share your plans and goals with. If you don't have partners with the same goals and commitment, then at least communicate your plans to those close to you. You want to tell people exactly what you are setting out to do. Be specific. Tell them what you are going to do to accomplish your goals. Also tell them what you are NOT going to do and the things you are going to avoid. Ask them to check on your progress. And ask them to hold you accountable. It would be best if these people are close to you and important to you. But we all know that sometimes these people can be the least supportive. Whether it is from jealousy or insecurity, those around us sometimes don't want us to succeed. Sad, but often true. If that is the case, then you need to seek some outside support. Hire a trainer or nutritionist, even if only for a few sessions. Research shows that being accountable to an authoritative figure also increases your chance for success. You might even dedicate a blog to publicizing your goals and tracking your progress. It doesn't cost a thing, and they are super-easy to set up. This has worked for thousands of people. There is nothing like putting your goals and promises in front of the world to motivate you and keep you on track. And who knows, you might even make some money in the process. You might also look into becoming active on an Internet forum dedicated your same goals. There are hundreds of highly active forums with thousands of members. And many of them are very specific. There are fitness and muscle-building forums. There are weight-loss forums. There are cancer-recovery forums. There are forums for moms looking to lose their baby weight. The great thing about the Internet is that it provides enough intimacy to feel accountable. And it provides enough "removal" that you're not mired in the social difficulties of "real life". The main idea is to communicate your goals and plans to a group of people and for them to hold you accountable. Social support is almost always the missing ingredient when someone fails to achieve their fitness and weight loss goals. So get help. Hang out with friends who will support you. Your chances of success will be assured. In this spirit, I would like for you to comment on this article. Whatever you would like to accomplish in 2010, let your fellow Total Health Breakthroughs subscribers know about it. How do you feel about your health and your body today? What changes are you looking to make? What are you willing to do to make those changes a reality? What is most important for you to accomplish this year?

THB: These Bacteria Can Make You Fat

By Jon Herring - Editorial Director	Tuesday, December 29th
There is one thing you MUST do to burn fat effortlessly and improve your health in every measurable way. Limit the sugar, grains and high-glycemic carbohydrates in your diet. A high-glycemic diet stimulates the production of insulin – the "fat storage hormone." Chronically high insulin levels make fat burning virtually impossible. It is also a cornerstone of degenerative disease. And here is another reason to cut the carbs. A high-glycemic diet can alter the bacteria in your intestines. This can make it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. And the transition can happen in just 24 hours. Jeffrey Gordon, MD of Washington University is one of the foremost experts on intestinal bacteria. In a recent study, he clearly showed the relationship between sugar intake, the balance of intestinal flora and weight loss. Ninety percent of the microbes in your gut fall into two major classes, or phyla: Firmicutes – this strain of bacteria is dominant in those who are obese Bacteroidetes – this strain of bacteria are dominant in those who are lean Dr. Gordon and his colleagues began with a group of mice raised in a sterile environment. These mice had no intestinal bacteria. In half of the mice, he implanted bacteria dominated by firmicutes, from obese mice. In the second group, he implanted bacteria dominated by bacteroidetes. These came from lean mice. Both groups of mice ate the same diet. However, those with the bacteria from obese mice became obese. And those with the bacteria from lean mice stayed lean. The same results were achieved when human intestinal bacteria from lean and obese subjects were used. Dr. Gordon then showed what happened when the mice with a dominant number of "lean bacteria" were switched to a high-sugar diet. The "obese bacteria" rapidly asserted dominance. They began to out-compete and out-proliferate the friendly bacteria. And this took place within just 24 hours! There is a common saying that "health begins in the gut." This is absolutely true. Friendly intestinal flora are vital to your immune system. They help assimilate nutrients from your diet. They help to eliminate toxins and waste. And they can play a big role in maintaining your optimal weight. The healthy bacteria in your gut thrive on fiber. The bad bacteria thrive on sugar. So feed your healthy warriors lots of organic vegetables and colorful plant foods. And starve the bad guys by avoiding sugar, grains and high-glycemic carbohydrates. Say Goodbye to Bags and Sags!

Tip-top immune defenses against "body breakdown"... And endless vigor! Click here to read more... The Anti-Cancer Properties of Green Tea... Green tea is one of the oldest beverages in the world. And one of the healthiest. Asian cultures have promoted the benefits of green tea for thousands of years. Lately, modern science has been catching up. Researchers first gave credence to the anti-cancer properties of green tea, when we realized that the Chinese (at least those that do not live downstream of industrial pollution) have much lower rates of cancer than Western populations. Further research showed that green tea is a potent source of polyphenols, especially one called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This compound has been shown to have powerful antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. In a recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, researchers gave a standardized form of EGCG to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This type of blood cancer is very slow growing, but also very hard to cure. Ralph Moss, PhD reviewed the study in his newsletter, Cancer Decisions. According to Dr. Moss, 33 patients were treated with varying dosages of EGCG. The doses ranged from 400 mg up to 2,000 mg, twice a day. After just one month of treatment, one patient experienced a partial remission. A third of the patients experienced more than a 20 percent decrease in the number of lymphocytes in their blood. And 11 out of 12 patients that previously had visibly swollen lymph nodes experienced a reduction of at least 50 percent in the size of these nodes. The standardized form of EGCG that was used in the study is not available on the market. However, there are several reputable companies that produce EGCG as a supplement. Men: Protect Your Prostate with Green Tea Two recent studies also show that green tea provides particularly powerful prostate protection (say that three times fast). Italian researchers studied 62 men with a pre-cancerous prostate condition. Normally this condition would result in cancer in about 30 percent of cases.  Half of the men were given a placebo. The other half consumed an extract of green tea daily. In the placebo group, 9 out of 30 men developed cancer. In the green tea group, however, only one out of 32 developed the disease. This is consistent with a study of Chinese men which found that those who consumed the most green tea were two-thirds less likely to develop prostate cancer. If you or someone you know is fighting cancer, taking a green tea extract or an EGCG supplement would be a great idea. And even if you're not, do as the Asians do. Enjoy a warm cup of organic green tea as often as possible.

Most Doctors Don't Even Know This Yet...

Dear THB Reader, Have you ever heard of a telomere? It is a tiny section of DNA at the end of each of your chromosomes. And here is why it is so important... The telomere protects your chromosomes from "unraveling" and deteriorating. It is the genetic equivalent of the plastic tips on the ends of your shoelaces. But every time your cells divide, the telomere gets shorter and shorter. When it disappears, your cells stop dividing and death occurs... The great news is that emerging evidence shows you have a lot of control over the rate at which the telomere shortens. Certain health conditions may triple the rate at which they shorten. Vitamin C, on the other hand, has been shown to slow down the rate by as much as 62%. Understanding this process – and the factors that can affect it – is vital to your health and longevity. It is so important that Dr. Al Sears calls our new understanding of telomeres "the greatest breakthrough in the history of anti-aging medicine." In fact, not long ago, Dr. Sears assembled some of the world's premier anti-aging experts to discuss this important breakthrough. The entire session was recorded – so he could bring the latest anti-aging science right to your living room. The information, recommendations (and a breakthrough telomere activating supplement) revealed at this symposium, could literally add years to your life. I highly recommend you learn more. Continue reading for all the details. Editorial Director Total Health Breakthroughs Switch on Your "Immortality" Gene Dr. Sears Reveals the Secret to Undying Health Dear Health Conscious Reader, There"s a hidden switch in every cell of your body. It controls how long you live... and when you die. It has the power to extend life-maybe indefinitely. Most doctors have never heard of it. A group of scientists stumbled upon it just ten years ago. They watched in awe as generation after generation of cells multiplied... without aging. As one top researcher put it in a Harvard report, "with this switch turned on, these cells become ‘immortalized"."1 Until very recently, we didn"t know how to activate it. Today we do. We"ve uncovered the natural mechanism in your body that sets aging in motion. And we"ve found a simple compound that flips the switch, bringing it to a halt. For the first time ever, you can slow down and even reverse aging. You"ll be in the front row as Dr. Sears and a team of leading anti-aging experts walk you through the process in his brand-new DVD. Imagine... Hitting the "Century Mark" ... with energy to burn Watching your great-great grandchildren grow up ... and having the strength and vigor to keep up with them, every step of the way Leading a rich, active live well into your "twilight years" ... out on the golf course, working in the garden, visiting with family and friends ... without ever being "housebound" because of old age. Now imagine a cutting-edge technology that works with your body to2... Ramp up your sex drive Boost your resistance to disease Sharpen your vision Make your skin more youthful  That technology has finally arrived. It"s called TA-65. Simply put, it"s the greatest breakthrough in the history of anti-aging medicine. You"re Invited to the Anti-Aging Event of the Year Dr. Al Sears, MD - Leading Authority on Anti-Aging Medicine and Pioneer of Innovative Therapies... Dr. Al Sears, MD sees patients at The Center for Health and Wellness - his integrative clinic and research center in Wellington, Florida. He continues to develop novel exercise and nutritional systems transforming the lives of over 20,000 patients in 23 countries. With over 500 articles and 13 books in the fields of alternative medicine, anti-aging and nutritional supplementation, Dr. Sears enjoys a worldwide readership and has appeared on over 50 national radio programs, ABC News, CNN and ESPN. He currently publishes a monthly e-Newsletter - Health Confidential - and a twice-weekly e-mail broadcast - Doctor"s House Call. Dr. Sears is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and is Board Certified in Anti-Aging Medicine. As a pioneer in this new field of medicine, he is an avid researcher and sought after lecturer to thousands of doctors and health enthusiasts. Dr. Sears earned his medical degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. He scored in the 99th percentile on his MCAT and graduated with honors in Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and Physical Medicine. He was recently awarded the first US license to administer the ground breaking and revolutionary anti-aging therapy TA-65. Recently mentioned in Newsweek, TA-65 activates the gene that regulates telomerase. This enzyme helps control cell division and may hold the key to disease prevention and life extension. Dr. Sears is also a sought after lecturer and speaks to doctors from around the world about the latest anti-aging technologies. He"s a regular guest speaker at the National Anti-Aging Conference: Clinical Applications for Age Management Medicine sponsored by Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG). Last October a select group flew in from across the country to hear about the new TA-65 science-from Dr. Sears himself. With good reason: he"s the first doctor in the US licensed to provide TA-65 to the public. At $500 a ticket, it was a pretty exclusive event. That"s why Dr. Sears hired a top-flight video production crew to film it. He wanted to be able to bring the latest in anti-aging science... right into your living room. Consider this a formal invitation to Dr. Sears"s TA-65 Seminar. Show up whenever you want-with the push of a button. No need for a plane ticket or the cost of a hotel. Not only will you have in hand the secrets behind TA-65"s rejuvenating power. Dr. Sears shows you 6 simple steps to activate your anti-aging gene-right away. You"ll also hear from people whose immortality gene is already "switched on." In fact, Dr. Sears and his colleagues are personally undergoing this historic anti-aging treatment themselves. They"ll share with you the changes they"ve seen in a matter of months, from sharper vision to enhanced mental powers. You"ll hear about people like Bob Hayes. At 82 he regularly runs 50-mile races-and bests competitors half his age. Or Helen Klein. She just broke the world record for marathoners aged 85-90-by over an hour. You"ll learn the secret to their health and longevity from one of the leading anti-aging researchers in the country, Dr Bill Andrews. And you"ll discover what one of the top anti-aging specialists calls "the single most promising approach to reversing the effects of aging."3 Unleash TA-65"s Life-Giving Power TA-65"s immortalizing power lies in a genetic structure called the telomere. It"s the mechanism that controls aging. It"s also the key to total health. What are your telomeres? They"re protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA: Each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops and your life ends. For the first time in history, we can halt and even reverse this process. The secret lies in an enzyme called telomerase. Telomerase makes your telomeres longer. That means your cells actually get younger as time goes by! Simply put, telomerase turns back the hands of time. It"s in every cell of your body -but the gene that makes it turns off as you age. TA-65 switches it on back on. It"s not just your lifespan we"re talking about here. Telomeres are dramatic indicators of your overall health. Have a Look at the Evidence ... TA-65 Is Working For People Like You Check out these stories. They"re from everyday people like you: "I was amazed when I saw my 6 month results. My immune health markedly improved." Anita Gross, 67 Anacortes, WA "My telomeres got longer by 100 base pairs at 3 months and an additional 100 base pairs at 6 months. " Bob Waskom, 69 Pacific Northwest "I was already a competitive athlete when I began [taking TA-65]. My regular 30-mile bike ride-with a 4000-foot climb-took me 2 hours and 20 minutes. After 3 months on TA-65 it went down to 2 hours. And, by the way, my skin is more supple. My skin elasticity, as measured by a Cutometer, improved." Shelby Blackburn, 45 Redwood City, CA "As an aging human taking TA-65, I was hoping for measurable improvements at the end of the year long Protocol. As a practicing MD, am surprised at the improvement in my immune system after only 6 months. The percentage of my "old" or "senescent" (CD28-negative) T-cells compared to the total population of cytotoxic T-cells went down from 11 percent to 6 percent. Normally the ratio goes the other way with age and if this holds up at one year, that would be a very significant result." Salomon Pustilnik, MD 50 Mexico Dr. Sears has been talking about telomeres and health for years. Modern science is beginning to catch on. We now know that telomere length is a key indicator of your overall health. The latest evidence from the most highly regarded sources keeps mounting... Aging/Los Angeles Times4 Your risk of heart attack increases the faster your telomeres break down. Scientists looked at people in perfect health . . . who later died from heart disease. They found the death rate from heart attack was three times higher for men whose telomeres got short the fastest.  The death rate for women was 2.3 times higher. (2009) Journals of Gerontology5 100 year olds in good health had "significantly longer" telomeres than those with health problems. (2008) American Heart Association6 People with shorter telomeres in their immune cells had twice the risk of death from heart failure as patients with the longest telomeres. The study, published in one of its key journals, looked at over 750 people with heart disease. The highest-risk group had telomeres half the length of the lowest-risk group.

Could This 'Forbidden Medicine' Eliminate the Need for Drugs? Tthis is life saving information.

Amy L. Lansky, PhD www.impossiblecure.com Perhaps the most derided of alternative medicines is my own favorite – homeopathy. Over the past few years, detractors have focused their efforts in the United Kingdom and have succeeded in crippling homeopathic hospitals and clinics funded by the National Health Service, as well as the practices of many homeopaths. A few well-placed editorials in prominent newspapers have done the trick, despite the fact that Prince Charles and the rest of the royal family are ardent supporters of homeopathy. It now seems that some of these folks are taking their show on the road. Two key UK players, Michael Baum and Edzard Ernst have published a commentary in the November 2009 issue of the American Journal of Medicine [1] in which they state, "a belief in homeopathy exceeds the tolerance of an open mind. We should start from the premise that homeopathy cannot work and that positive evidence reflects publication bias or design flaws until proved otherwise." Not surprisingly, their commentary also reflects a complete ignorance of homeopathy and the range of studies that support its effectiveness. For example, their article incorrectly uses the term "potentation" instead of "potentization" for the method used to create homeopathic remedies (more on this later). The authors also insist on citing a single negative meta-analysis study that has already been shown to be methodologically flawed [2], while ignoring many positive studies in respected publications, including two other meta-analyses that showed positive results [3—8]. So why do the skeptics love to hate homeopathy? Perhaps because it is one of the most threatening alternative modalities – financially, philosophically, and therapeutically. Actually, homeopathy has been a threat to allopathy ever since the 1800s, when German physician Samuel Hahnemann developed the homeopathic system. Founder of Homeopathy Hahnemann, a respected doctor and chemist who helped to pioneer the importance of hygiene as well as homeopathy, was forced to move frequently during his life because the local German apothecaries objected to the fact that he created his own medicines rather than use theirs. A fierce battle was also waged against homeopathy in the United States during the 1800s, where homeopathy had achieved a strong presence by 1840. In fact, in 1847, the American Medical Association (AMA) was formed specifically to fight the battle against homeopathy. Most homeopaths of the 1800s were former allopaths who had abandoned their brethren because they found Hahnemann's system to be more successful in battling cholera, typhus, yellow fever, diptheria, influenza, and other epidemics of the 1800s. In retaliation, the preamble to the AMA's charter forbade its members to associate with homeopaths or to use their medicines, and many doctors were expelled for failing to comply. But does homeopathy really pose such a threat to conventional medicine today? To see how the little David of homeopathy could take down the Goliath of big pharma, we need to take a closer look at what homeopathy is all about. Like Cures Like - - Law of Similars Homeopathic practice is based on a single law of therapeutics called the Law of Similars. This law states that a substance that can cause the symptoms of a disease can also cure it. In fact, that's exactly what word "homeopathy" means: similar ("homeo") suffering ("pathy"). For example, one reason that the remedy Coffea Cruda (made from coffee) can be curative for insomnia is that coffee can cause sleeplessness. Interestingly, allopaths sometimes utilize the Law of Similars, but are unaware of it when they do and are perplexed by the phenomenon. Ask any conventional doctor why Ritalin (a substance that would normally cause hyperactivity) can treat hyperactivity in children, and they'll scratch their heads in confusion. Ask a homeopath, and it's a no-brainer: the Law of Similars. The reason why homeopaths run into trouble with the skeptics, though, revolves around how homeopathic remedies are prepared. Obviously, many of the substances that can cause the symptoms of disease are toxic. This inherent toxicity poses a challenge if you want to administer these substances safely. In an effort to deal with this problem, Hahnemann tried various methods of diluting his medicines so that they would become less harmful to his patients. This proved unsuccessful until he also incorporated vigorous shaking or succussion into the process. The result was a method that he called potentization, in which a substance is serially diluted and succussed over and over. Much to Hahnemann's own surprise, these ultradilutions – so dilute that they cannot possibly contain a single molecule of the original substance – were still potent therapeutically. In fact, they were even more potent than low levels of dilution. Of course, this was and still is too much for the skeptics to bear. It turns much of accepted science on its head! What the skeptics keep ignoring, however, are an increasing number of scientific studies that indicate that some kind of signature of the original substance is embedded in a potentized ultradilution. In a 2007 paper by Professor Rustom Roy, the founding director of the Materials Research Laboratory at Penn State and one of the world's leading experts on the structure of water, it was demonstrated that lab instruments could pick up energetic signatures in ultradilutions that were not only specific to individual homeopathic remedies, but to specific potencies of these remedies [9, 10]. Indeed, science has backed up the phenomenon of potentization for over 20 years. In 1988, Nobel Prize nominee and medical researcher Jacques Benveniste turned the course of his life upside down when he discovered that ultradilutions could retain substance-specific properties. In particular, he found that a certain antibody could be serially diluted and succussed beyond the point where a single molecule could remain, but still cause the same effects [11]. Naturally, the skeptics quickly attacked Benveniste. But he continued his work and further demonstrated that the electromagnetic signature of an ultradilution could be recorded electronically, transmitted via Email, replayed into water, and still achieve the same substance-specific effects in the laboratory [12]. Eventually, Benveniste's results were replicated [13]. Most recently, a 2009 paper by Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier underscored the power of ultradilutions too [14]. Drug Companies are Running Scared Now think about it. This is what big pharma is scared of. What if an expensive drug could be potentized to create billions of effective doses at essentially no cost? It would destroy big pharma entirely. Medicines that cost essentially nothing? Nontoxic ultradiluted medicines that cause fewer side effects? How could the coffers of big pharma be sustained? Forget about the Law of Similars. It's potentization – the process of creating effective ultradilutions – that big pharma is scared of! No wonder Baum and Ernst got the word "potentization" wrong. This one word is the small stone that could take Goliath down. Of course, homeopaths add fuel to the fire. The fundamental philosophy of homeopathy implies that the primary tools of allopathy are harmful. In particular, homeopaths believe that suppressing symptoms with anti-pathic drugs – drugs that oppose the symptoms of a disease rather than mimic them – cannot cure and can even do harm. If a symptom is suppressed – for example, if a seasonal allergy is suppressed by an antihistamine – it is only temporarily palliated. A patient still has allergic tendencies and his or her symptoms will eventually return. That's why suppressive drugs must be taken again and again. And of course, big pharma loves that! It's good for business. Deceptive Cures Unfortunately, if a substance succeeds in completely suppressing a symptom, there may be an illusion of "cure," but the real result is more sinister. Another key tenet of homeopathy is that the true result of suppression is a deepening of the underlying disease state – because the energy of the disease is now forced to manifest in a more serious way. That's why repeated application of cortisone cream to eczema can lead to asthma. That's why the suppression of arthritis pain can lead to heart disease. That's why teenagers who take acne drugs sometimes develop suicidal depression. Doctors call this phenomenon a "side effect" or a "natural disease progression." But that's because they don't understand the effects of suppression or the signs of true cure. Over the past two hundred years, homeopaths have discovered that homeopathic medicines – drugs that mimic a person's symptoms rather than oppose them – can lead to genuine cure of chronic disease, not mere palliation or suppression. Rather than creating a deeper disease, a homeopathic medicine that is similar to a patient's disease can not only cure it, but reveal previously suppressed layers of disease that can be treated too. That's why good homeopathic treatment can often cure asthma – and also reveal and treat previously suppressed eczema. That's why it has the potential to cure arthritis and chronic bladder infections, not simply palliate them with endless medications. Indeed, homeopathy can effectively treat acute diseases like influenza and bacterial infections too. With its ability to successfully treat both chronic and acute disease with low-cost medicines, homeopathy really could be a threat to big pharma, given half a chance. Ideal for Poor Countries or Rich Ones with Declining Economies Poor countries with less access to expensive drugs have already discovered this. That's why homeopathy is the second most widespread form of medicine in the world. In India, homeopathy is a full-fledged medical system with its own medical schools and hospitals. Homeopaths in India successfully treat the full range of diseases, including AIDS, cancer, and malaria. In Cuba, a poor country with a health care system that often does better than our own, homeopathy is being used more and more. In 2008, 2.5 million Cubans were given a homeopathic remedy to prevent Leptospirosis, an infectious disease also known as swamp fever. This disease has plagued the country for several years in the aftermath of flooding, but the year in which homeopathy was used, in contrast to previous years, there were no fatalities and very few cases of the disease [15]. But here's the rub. Homeopathy is harder to practice than allopathy. There are no cookie-cutter cures, especially for chronic disease. (Luckily, however, effective treatment of epidemic diseases like the flu is easier; see Resources.) Each patient's health pattern is unique, so each patient must be treated as an individual. A homeopath must find a single remedy (among thousands of possible homeopathic remedies) whose associated symptoms match those of the patient – not just their main complaint, but their entire symptom picture that includes emotional, mental, behavioral, as well as the physical symptoms of the entire body. It's a daunting task. A practitioner who practices classical homeopathy (the kind of homeopathy I advocate) typically needs at least two hours for an initial case interview and may spend just as long deciding upon a remedy. And sometimes it takes a homeopath several tries to find just the right remedy – the one that homeopaths call the simillimum. This process also requires patients to engage in their own treatment, because symptoms are gathered not by machines or by using tests, but through direct communication between patient and homeopath. Of course, this is not something big pharma, conventional doctors, or insurance companies would be happy about. No expensive medicines or tests or equipment needed? No five-minute appointments reimbursed at $300 a shot? A medical system that requires long appointments, time for case analysis, and patients who must participate in the healing process? Not very lucrative. How I Broke Out of the Mold and Reliance on Failed Medical Therapies Of course, I used to be a lover of conventional medicine like most people. Back in the early 1990s, my husband Steve Rubin and I were both computer researchers in Silicon Valley and followed our doctors' instructions obediently, loading our kids up with every recommended vaccine on schedule. Our allopathic trance began to break in 1994 when our 3-year-old son Max began to show signs of autism. I first read about homeopathy in the January 1995 issue of Mothering Magazine, which contained an article about the successful homeopathic treatment of ADD and other children's behavioral problems [16]. Steve and I decided to give it a try and found a practitioner in our area. Within a week we began to see small and subtle improvement in Max – improvement that became a slow and steady trend. After two years of treatment, he was testing normally and was released from eligibility for special education benefits. His speech and language therapist told the county representative that she had never seen an autistic child recover like Max had, and she fully credited homeopathy for his recovery. By the time he was eight, nearly all signs of Max's autism were gone. Today he is 18, a freshman at a leading university, completely autism free, and without restrictions of any kind. Needless to say, this experience was both mind-boggling and life-transforming. I began to study homeopathy myself and ultimately wrote what became the best-selling patient education book in the USA – Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy [17] – a comprehensive introduction to homeopathic history, philosophy, science, and experience, sprinkled with dozens first-person cure stories for a variety of ailments, along with a chapter about Max's cure. In the end, I left my work in computer science and devoted myself to letting others know about the healing powers of homeopathy. I got involved in the successful campaign for health freedom legislation in California too [18]. Steve also got involved and developed the National Vaccine Information Center's online interface to the VAERS database [19] (the CDC's public record of vaccine injuries). I guess Max's healing led us both to become alternative medicine activists, and we haven't looked back. Conclusion So why not take a look at homeopathy for yourself? Make it your New Year's resolution to find a good classical practitioner and to learn more about this amazing medical modality. The skeptics manage to create a lot of smoke in an effort to hide homeopathy from public view. But where there's smoke, there's fire.

Do You Ever Forget Why You Walked into a Room?

Dear THB Reader, Do you ever walk into a room and forget what you went in there for? Misplace your car keys? Forget a name? Of course... we all do. And don't worry. It doesn't necessarily mean that Alzheimer's is around the corner. More often, these "senior moments" are caused by your brain cells simply running out of juice. Every cell in your body is powered by mitochondria. They are like little batteries that generate all of your physical and mental energy. And your brain is packed with them. For the first 40 years of your life, your mitochondria pretty much take care of themselves. But as we grow older, the effects of our modern diet and exposure to pollutants can "gum up the works." That's why I am proud to introduce Mother Nature's "battery recharger" – a powerful new formula that can improve the energy output of your mitochondria. Great news for your brain cells... but it's a big help to every other cell in your body too. Just imagine... You'll feel more vigor. You'll have more energy. And the next time you go looking for those car keys, you ought to remember right where you put them! Keep reading to learn more...
