As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know, nutritional supplements play a very important role in some cultures in treating all kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how magnesium helps to treat endometriosis.

I. Definition
Magnesium (Mg) is a trace mineral and has an atomic number of 32. Women with endometriosis were found to have low levels of magnesium during the menstrual cycle, causing symptoms of endometriosis and menstrual cramps. Please make sure to take magnesium together with vitamin C for better digestive absorption and the intake ratio of magnesium and calcium should always be 1 to 2.

II. How magnesium effects women with endometriosis.
1. Abnormal cell development
Deficiency of magnesium decreases the ability of DNA and RNA synthesis in the body leading to cell abnormality, such as peritoneal cells growing into endometrial cells in the abdomen.

2. Protagslandins hormones
Magnesium is essential for for liver to balance the protagslandins hormones that control the uterine muscles during the menstrual cycle. Deficiency of magnesium causes the over-production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family resulting in pre-menstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps for women with endometriosis.

3. Nervous system
Deficiency of magnesium decreases the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism of the liver leading to nutrient deficiency of nerve cells. Without enough nutrients for the nervous system it causes symptoms of endometriosis such as anxiety, and depression as resulting of nervous system tensions.

4. Estrogen
Since magnesium helps in synthesis of protein and fat, it helps the liver to produce good estrogen which keeps the levels of bad estrogen in check resulting in lessening the levels of period pain and menstrual cramps.

5. Circulation system
Magnesium also plays an important role in lowering the levels of bad cholesterol in the arteries which helps to increase the blood circulation of oxygen and the carrying of nutrients to the body’s brain cells. This helps to reduce tension of the nervous system and decreases the risk of heart diseases and stroke.

Alzheimer’s Disease cases have been rapidly increasing over the last half century, and are currently the seventh leading cause of death in America. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and affects our ability to form memories, communicate and perform the most common daily tasks. Fifty years ago, Alzheimer’s Disease was virtually unknown to medical science, yet today we see a skyrocketing incidence of this devastating affliction. While there is a genetic component to the disease, it is largely the result of lifestyle, poor diet and environmental factors which cause systemic inflammation in the body.

Alzheimer’s Disease Caused by Brain Inflammation

The Standard American Diet is known to promote a low grade inflammation throughout the body, and is linked with heart disease, stroke and cancer. We can add Alzheimer’s Disease to the list, as the brain is susceptible to the ravages of inflammatory chemicals which are released into the blood as a result of poor diet and environmental assault.

The disease is characterized by the accumulation of a protein known as beta amyloid which blocks communications between the neuron’s synapses. Normally the brain is able to break down the amyloid plaques so they can be removed properly, but this function becomes limited as inflammation affects the normal plaque clearance process in the brain.

Alzheimer’s was a very rare condition prior to 1950. Our diet did not include all the refined, processed and fried foods. Meals were made at home from natural ingredients including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and we were not continually exposed to a barrage of unhealthy chemicals and pollutants in our homes and the environment.

Anti-Aging Formula Increases Brain Synapse Formation

Scientists have been working feverishly on drugs and natural nutraceuticals which may have an impact on the development and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. There are several drugs which have been approved for management of the disease, but they are at best palliative. Recent studies have demonstrated that a specially formulated cocktail consisting of uridine, choline and the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA helped the brain to form new synapses for communication between neurons.

DHA is especially important for brain health, as more than half of the brain cell membranes are composed of the fat. When DHA is in short supply in the blood, other inferior fats must be used for the construction process resulting in a cell which cannot function optimally.

Also important to the formula for synapse development in the brain are the B Vitamins, especially the B-12 derivative Methylcobalamin which provides the electrical charge that cause the synapse to fire. This is an important finding for those wishing to prevent and even treat Alzheimer’s Disease since the more healthy synapses which exist in the brain, the better we can process, store and manipulate information and memories.

Targeted Supplements Inhibit Plaque Formation

The most exciting research involves two critical nutrients, which when combined have been shown to reduce the amount of beta amyloid plaque formation in the brain. Resveratrol and Circumin when taken together can reduce plaque deposits. While there is controversy as to whether beta amyloid protein is the cause or effect of Alzheimer’s Disease, there is little argument that clearing this sticky substance from the brain is the key to prevention and even treatment.

Resveratrol is an extract from the skins of red grapes which has the ability to break apart amyloid deposits. Circumin is a natural component of the spice curry, and is a powerful antioxidant. Working synergistically with Resveratrol, the two provide a powerful punch to plaque formation, and given their excellent safety record, should be a part of every dietary program to prevent Alzheimer’s Disease.

Lifestyle has been shown to be a key component in the development of Alzheimer’s Disease. Diet and our environment have changed dramatically over the past decades, and are the primary cause of the rampant increase in the disease. Drug manufacturers are working hard to find the ‘magic bullet’ which will cure this disease, yet the best tools we have for prevention are realized by following a healthy diet, careful monitoring of the chemical environment to which we are subjected each day and supplementing with a targeted group of nutraceuticals which are essential to healthy brain function.

Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among men and women alike. It can be deadly if not caught early. Many health issues can be attributed to neglecting our colons. Good health starts in the digestive tract. If we don’t feed our bodies properly, we are being negligent.

We can dramatically improve our health including the health of our colons by simply being aware of our daily dietary choices. Incorporating exercise into our regime is also important to good health. In order to achieve long term health, care needs to be taken.

To simply understand the function of our colons, we can look at them as the sewer line for our bodies. If waste does not expel efficiently, as with a conventional sewer line, a back up can result. The outcome of such a build up is not only very toxic but messy as well. When our colon does not properly expel wastes, this is exactly what occurs.

Under normal conditions, the activity of our colons generate waste that purges in the morning (2-4 feet of accumulation is the ideal amount) and in the afternoon or evening (accumulation of 1.2 feet from our intestinal tract purged). Chronic constipation can have a major impact on our health and the health of our colon.

A build up can occur in our intestines when we are not purging waste efficiently. This build up will become increasingly toxic if it does not purge. This increases our risk of disease and infection.

We can also experience nutritional deficiencies when our colons are out of whack. The nutritional benefits of foods we eat will not leave our intestinal tract if too much waste is blocking it. Consuming a poor diet will ensure toxic accumulations. We need to eat a diet rich in fiber and nutrients that includes fresh organic fruits and vegetables and whole grains.

Cancer-promoting toxins such as phenols and cresols as well as other carcinogens can be created contributing to the onset of disease. Once disease has taken hold on our bodies, it is difficult to heal. An inflammation of the colon can also result from poor colon health. This inflammation, known as diverticulitis is largely preventable if the proper diet is consumed.

Colon hydrotherapy is also a means of attaining colon health. This is where the colon is irrigated and cleansed with a solution that is pumped in through your rectum and causes wastes to expel. This treatment coupled with proper diet can help to restore health to your colon.

The most important things to consider when attempting to improve colon health are proper diet, exercise and periodic colon cleansing. By caring for our colons we can prevent the onset of disease. By eating the proper diet, we can remedy obesity and a host of other health conditions as well.

Avoiding illness is the precaution you should take to prevent numerous trips to the doctors and to prevent maybe having to injest large amounts of prescription medicines. Consider this, doctors treat your symptoms and rarely get to the root cause of your problems. It is not your doctors job to stop you from getting sick. That responsibility lies with you and you alone.

There is a lot of scientific research available now in the study of longevity. In Health Wars by Philip Day he covers the Hunzas, Abkhazians and other long lived peoples and summerises the Principals of Longevity as follows;

A. Live in a toxin free environment.

B. Have an alkalised system

C. Keep well Hydrated

D. Eat natural, properly constituted foods.

E. Be active

F. Maintain an optimism and positive outlook for the future

The problem with our western diet is the heavy reliance on acidic foods like meats, sugars, grains, transfats and chemicals which encourage dangerous levels of damaging fungi and yeasts to grow prolifically in the body.. Your body functions best when fed with a diet of high quality vegetables, fruits and nuts.. Keep your protein intake to around 20 – 40 grams per day. Balance is the key point here,

Recently, saunas are increasingly beginning to be used to improve physical and mental health. Doctors believe it is important that the habit of saunas originate in childhood, and become an integral part of the proper way of life.

First, sauna is used in prevention of diseases associated with overcooling of the body, which afflict people regardless of age, sex, occupation. Most frequently people have upper respiratory tract diseases, tonsillitis contagious nature, arising from excessive or prolonged cooling, and sometimes when overheating and subsequent cooling.

For the prevention of these diseases it is necessary:

- to eat properly (there must be a sufficient amount of vitamins in food, particularly ascorbic acid and vitamin A, mineral salts (iodine, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, etc.);
- to keep good personal hygiene;
- to have a healthy lifestyle, avoid bad habits: overeating, smoking, alcohol and stress.
- to constantly train thermal regulation abilities, that is to be engaged in quenching.

However, a modern man most of the time is warm and dry and this sooner or later leads to effeminacy.

Cold training can be performed using various methods and means of their combination. It is good to use natural environmental factors. You can quench at home, but the best to this in sauna. Obesity is a dangerous enemy of health. In the prevention of this disease (and it is a disease!) one can also use a sauna, which for this purpose is used in combination with a diet. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases also can be made with the help of sauna.

Even when there is insufficient physical activity, sauna improves metabolism. Staying in a sauna trains the cardiovascular system, making it more stable. Prevention of neuroses and psychoneuroses is again possible. Sauna can give a good effect in treating these diseases, since it facilitates relaxation, elimination of fatigue, somatic and achieve peace of mind.

Several international scientific studies have found a favorable relationship between antioxidant vitamins and heart diseaase. Antioxidant supplements include ascorbic acid (vitamin C), a-tocopherol (vitamin E), folate,
