Pollution Linked to Diabetes?

Can this be true?  I would like to share this story that was printed in the Natural News.  True or not true?  You decide.

NEW Research: Electro-pollution can cause diabetes (type-3)

 http://www.naturalnews.com/028967_electropollution_diabetes.html

(NaturalNews) Most people are familiar with type-1 diabetes and type-2 diabetes, but did you know researchers have discovered a third type of diabetes? Type-3 diabetes, as they are calling it, affects people who are extra sensitive to electrical devices that emit "dirty" electricity.

Type-3 diabetics actually experience spikes in blood sugar and an increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution ("electropollution") from things like computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Dr. Magda Havas, a PhD from Trent University in Canada, recently published theresultsof a study she conducted on the relationship between electromagnetic fields anddiabetesinElectromagnetic Biology and Medicine. In it, she explains how she and her team came to discover this about why electropollution is so dangerous for many people.

Bloodsugargoes haywire

One of the most interesting finding in her study was that electro-sensitive people whoseblood sugardecreases when they go for a walk outdoors actually experiencean increase inbloodsugarwhen walking on atreadmill.

Treadmills, you see, are electrical devices that emit electricalpollution. But interestingly, even the physical exertion of walking on the treadmill did not make up for the blood sugar spiking effect of the EMFs emitted by thetreadmills. Despite the exercise, in other words, type-3diabeticsexperienced significant spikes in blood sugar when walking on the treadmill.

Dirtyelectricityis bad for everyone, but it is especially bad for people who are type-3 diabetics. And Dr. Havas explains in her study that even having an electrical device plugged into the wall near someone who is type-3diabeticcan cause them problems.

We have to rethink environmental influences of modern living

I find thisresearchfascinating, not only because it proves that electromagnetic waves impact blood sugar andheart rate, but because there could be thousands, if not millions, of diabetics who may be suffering from a diabetes misdiagnosis right now.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because a 54 year-old pre-diabetic man who participated in the study was found to experience serious blood sugar spikesonly when he was working in an urbanenvironmentaround power lines or on his computer. When he was out camping away from the city, his blood sugar was just fine.

The man tested his blood sugar every morning in different situations and his levels were always higher when electrical fields were nearby. On one of the mornings, he forgot to test himself prior to beginning work on the computer. Hisblood sugar levelswere higher than normal, registering around 205 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). But after stepping away from the computer for only ten minutes, his levels dropped nearly 20 mg/dL.

The degree to which electromagnetic pollution affects thebodyis clearly quite astonishing, and this study illustrates that. But it makes you wonder how many people have diabetes simplybecauseofEMFpollution (and not solely due to their diet or lack of exercise, as we have been taught).

HighEMFsgave this woman diabetes

Take the case of the 80 year-old woman whose house tested high for EMF pollution. Prior to installing a system of filters around her house designed to reduce "electro-smog" levels, her blood sugar was high and she was usinginsulineach day in order to balance her blood sugar levels. After installing the filters (which reduced EMF pollution by roughly 98 percent), the woman's blood sugar levels dropped by 33 percent and her insulin requirements plunged a whopping 75 percent!

This idea that reducing the electropollution of your house could drastically reduce a patient's need for insulin has never even registered in conventional (mainstream)medicine. Yet it could be a crucial understanding for tens of millions of diabetics around the world.

The study mentioned here classifies the type of diabetes caused by electromagnetic pollution astype-3 diabetes. While those with type-1 ortype-2 diabetescan also have type-3, the data seems to indicate that a person can also exclusively have type-3 without any overlay of the other two types. In other words, their diabetes may besolelydue to electromagnetic pollution.

And since pre-diabetics can be pushed over the edge by EMF pollution, there is no telling how many people actually have type-3 rather than type-2 diabetes.

MSG the Silent Killer

MSG for You and a Coffin Too!           

                                                                                                                              
 Hundreds of medical studies and thousands, Nay, millions of victim accounts, irrevocably establish that monosodium glutamate, Ajinomoto’s chemical “flavor enhancer”, is a deadly, systemic, neurotoxic poison that eradicates your mind and health. In 1994 renowned Neurosurgeon and Professor Russell Blaylock, M.D., 27 year practitioner of the most delicate and demanding field of surgery: on the brain and nervous system, the pinnacle of medical expertise, released his book “Excitotoxins, the Taste that Kills”, which plainly explains how MSG certainly destroys you. :                                                                                                                                                                                                      “MSG is not the only taste enhancing food additive known to cause damage to the nervous system.  In fact, there is a whole class of chemicals that can produce very similar damage they all share one important property.  When neurons are exposed to these substances, they become very excited and fire their impulses very rapidly until they reach a state of extreme exhaustion.  Several hours later these neurons suddenly die, as if the cells were exited to death.  Neuroscientists have dubbed this class of chemicals “excitotoxins”.   More and more diseases of the nervous system are being linked to excitotoxin build-up in the brain.  For example disorders such as strokes, brain injury, hypoglycemic brain damage, seizures, migraine headaches, hypoxic brain damage, and even AIDS dementia have been linked to excitotoxin damage.”    [The class of excitotoxins includes murderous aspartame, NutraSweet, Equal, which Ajinomoto recently renamed AminoSweet since their sales are in the toilet.  Similarly MSG is a venom of 100 aliases: glutamate, hydrolyzed plant protein, sodium caseinate, etc, etc, etc]  
                                                                                                                              
In his chapter Effect  Excitotoxins on the Developing Brain,  Dr. Blaylock tells how MSG ruins  children:  “Excess glutamate can trigger abnormal nervous system development by interfering with the establishment of proper nerve connections, that is the wiring of the brain the onset of these behavioral and learning disorders may not show up immediately but rather may be delayed for many years following birth because of the timing of the onset of specialized brain functions.  Injury to the speech areas of the brain, for example, would not be evident in the newborn baby, but would be evident when the child began to learn to speak ... Likewise, damage to areas of the brain concerned with complex learning skills would not be evident until the child started school and was exposed to math and reading.”   
                                                                                                                                                                    & nbsp;                                  There is an entire library of scientific documentation on MSG toxicity for you to investigate on the web. This is bad for the Japanese MSG maker, Ajinomoto.  They have zero interest in you or your family’s health.  They just want the money!                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                       Consider what debased evil minds, wicked, devoid of conscience, malignant, twisted, perverse and demonic, that intentionally loose dread poisons on humanity with full knowledge of the agony, suffering, poverty, ruined lives, foreclosed futures, desolation and death they inevitably produce.  Is there a name for such foul criminal scum?  I give you Joseph Mengele, the Nazi Angle of Death who hideously tortured thousands of screaming victims just for the damned fun of it. In the name of good Science, of course.  
                                                                                                                                                                    & nbsp;                                  And I give you Susan  Schiffman, Ph.D., who published Perception of Taste and Smell in the Elderly   encouraging MSG in foods for seniors, so they’ll eat more.  I also give you Univ/ Nebraska’s  Dr. Steve Taylor. These profane Angles of Desolation and their ilk can find no better use for their brains and fancy educations than pushing poisons on their countrymen.  Shame!  Equally guilty are their cohorts at Univ/California at Davis, plus the Department of Agriculture, which will be funded by Ajinomoto for the two year “research”, conclusion foreknown:  MSG will be blessed.  


 When corporations fund regulatory agencies, said agencies work no more for taxpayers but become   company stooges with fat budgets, bigger bonuses, and all those plane rides!  Think of it as the District Attorney working for the Godfather.  Today In America there’s always some venal overpaid money grubbing bureaucratic Judas to cheerfully sell you out.                                                                                                                                                                    & nbsp;                                                                                                                    
Jack Samuels who has the MSG web site, www.truthinlabeling.org also has some comments.  If Jack Samuels were to get MSG he could go in anaphylactic shock.  This is how serious the issue is.


”Several weeks ago, the Truth in Labeling Campaign became aware of the fact that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has joined with Ajinomoto Co., Inc. to conduct a two year study at the University of California, Davis to determine the benefits of monosodium glutamate for people who are dieting to lose weight or maintain weight.


According to the press release from Ajinomoto Co., Inc., the world’s largest producer of the food ingredient “monosodium glutamate,” the purpose of the study is to establish that by using monosodium glutamate on prepared foods, food flavor will be enhanced, and the subjects will be more satisfied with the reduced amounts of food required to lose and/or maintain weight.  All of the subjects will be women.  (See (www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/usda-ars-and-ajinomoto-launch-sodium-glutamate-research-collaboration-105678023.html ).


We find it interesting, and distressing, to find that the USDA is spending our tax dollars on an industry-designed study undertaken to “establish” that ingestion of Ajinomoto’s neurotoxic and endocrine disrupting product, monosodium glutamate, will be useful in controlling obesity.


For many years, Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has been funding researchers at the University of California, Davis to produce studies promoting the Ajinomoto Co., Inc. product, with some of the funds being for the University of California, Davis to cover related expenses.


We find it interesting that the expressed intent of this study contradicts work done by industry agents such as Susan S. Schiffman, Ph. D. who in 1993, published a paper entitled “Perception of Taste and Smell in the Elderly” in which she encouraged the use of monosodium glutamate in foods for the elderly on the basis that it will taste better and the elderly will, therefore, eat more.  Over the years, Dr. Schiffman, often with glutamate industry agent, Dr. Steve Taylor of the University of Nebraska, would include this claim in talks to groups responsible for food service.


It should come as no surprise that a governmental food safety agency is cooperating with the glutamate industry.  For some background on this subject, go tohttp://www.truthinlabeling.org/l-manuscript.html to access a peer reviewed, published paper entitled “The Toxicity/Safety of Processed Free Glutamic Acid (MSG): A Study in Suppression of Information.”  Read, under the section entitled “Defenders of the Safety of MSG,” the sub-sections entitled “Agencies of the United States Government” and “People and Organizations Influenced by Glutamate Industry Agents.”  All one has to do to realize that monosodium glutamate is a major factor in the obesity epidemic is to access MEDLINE at www.pubmed.gov and type in “monosodium glutamate, obesity.  There are well over 200 references to studies listed that demonstrate that monosodium glutamate can cause obesity.


It is time that our governmental agencies involved in food safety begin to protect consumers rather than spending money to represent the interests of industry.  Everyone who reads this should contact their representatives in Washington to express their feelings about the USDA’s cooperation with Ajinomoto Co., Inc.  We believe that the contract discussed above should be cancelled by the USDA.

How Emotions Can Cause or Prevent Deadly Disease

When the Body Says No: How Emotions Can Cause or Prevent Deadly Disease

Physician Gabor Maté argues too many doctors ignore what was once a commonplace assumption, that emotions are implicated in the development of illnesses and in their healing.
January 2, 2011  |  

Editor's note: the following is an interview with Canadian physician and bestselling author Gabor Mate, on the relationship between emotions and the body.

Dr. Maté argues too many doctors seem to have forgotten what was once a commonplace assumption, that emotions are deeply implicated in both the development of illness, addictions and disorders, and in their healing.

Dr. Maté came on Democracy Now! this year to discuss his book When the Body Says No: Understanding the Stress-Disease Connection. Based on medical studies and his own experience with chronically ill patients at the Palliative Care Unit at Vancouver Hospital, where he was the medical coordinator for seven years, Dr. Maté argues that stress and individual emotional makeup play critical roles in an array of diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and arthritis. Speaking to us this time from Vancouver -- it was actually during the Vancouver Olympics -- Dr. Maté began by explaining his analysis of the mind-body connection.

DR. GABOR MATÉ: You know, the traditional medicines of China for 3,000 years, the ayurvedic medicine of India, and the tribal shamanic medicines of all cultures around the world have always taken for granted that mind and body can’t be separated. Now, Western medicine has cleaved the two apart for, really, 2,000 years. Socrates already criticized the doctors of his day for separating the mind from the body. And the irony -- in fact, the tragedy -- is that now we have the Western science that shows, incontrovertibly and in great detail, that mind and body can’t be separated, and so that any attempt to do so leaves the medical practitioner short of many tools to help clients. And, of course, it leaves patients short of what they need for their own healing.

The point now is that the emotional centers of the brain, which regulate our behaviors and our responses and our reactions, are physiologically connected with -- and we know exactly how they’re connected -- with the immune system, the nervous system and the hormonal apparatus. In fact, it’s no longer possible, scientifically, to speak of these as separate systems, as if immunity was separate from emotions, as if the nervous system was separate from the hormonal apparatus. There’s one system, and they’re wired together by the nervous system itself and joined together by chemical messengers that they all secrete, and so that whatever happens emotionally has an impact immunologically, and vice versa. So, for example, we know now that the white cells in the circulation of our -- of the blood can manufacture every hormone that the brain can manufacture, and vice versa, so that the brain and the immune system are always talking to one another.

So, in short, we have one system. The science that studies it is called psychoneuroimmunology. And scientifically, it’s not even controversial, but it’s completely lacking from medical practice.  

AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean, Dr. Maté, by the mind-body -- by the Bermuda Triangle?DR. GABOR MATÉ: Well, the Bermuda Triangle is that the research is done. For example, let me give you a couple of examples. Three years ago or four years ago, a study presented at the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s International Congress on Women’s Health, a study that was written up in the online version of a major North American medical journal called Circulation, showed that women -- over a 10-year period, they followed 1,700 women -- over a 10-year period, women who were unhappily married and didn’t express their emotions were four times as likely to die as those women who were unhappily married and did express their feelings. In other words, the non-expression of emotion was associated with a 400 percent increase in the death rate. And this study was done in the States, part of a major population study.

Happy New Years from a listener!

Hi Coach Lynn,
Happy New Years! I missed your show today. I keep forgetting that I’m an hour behind. Keep up the good work and let God continue to use you for HIS glory. Very proud of you!

New Year's Resolutions!

Did you make resolutions for this year? As the year kicks off, you may have determined that in order to be where you want to be next year, you'll need to kick it off in high gear yourself. The challenge is, somewhere around the end of January, you are like an unconditioned runner in a 15K race.... you are panting and sweating and already starting to believe you will never get to the finish line. So, how to keep yourself motivated?


Incorporate positive messages in your day every single day. Here are some of my favorites:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”
- Aristotle

QUESTION: WHat do you do repeatedly? Is it something that reaffirms your commitment to live better or is it something that works against it.... Do you practice healthy living, eating, sleeping, entertainment activities, relationships?

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
- Dale Carnegie

MY QUESTION: Are you a positive thinker? Or, are you positive only when things are going well? What about when you receive unflattering information, get bad news, have someone tell you they don;t think you can achieve whatever you want. Does it stop you cold like a mountain that magically sprouts up in front of your car while you are driving? What do you do? Doubt yourself? Give up? Use someone else's rejection to motivate you more?


“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”
- Nelson Mandela

MY QUESTIONS: Are you afraid of failure or, what's worse, are you afraid of success? Examine your own attitudes and behaviors. Do you self sabotage? Do you think you are worthy of happiness, fulfillment, healthy love, money, success, peace? Before you point the finger at those around you and accuse them for not understanding you, how much time do you actively spend developing and loving yourself?



And finally, “The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.”

MY QUESTIONS and thoughts: Something is impossible until someone proves it to be possible. Do you believe in yourself? Do you look for validation over what you believe to be true? Are you willing to take a risk, beat the odds, and try. If you fail, will you get right back up and start again? The bottom line to staying motivated to do anything is to be able to take chances, persevere and in all cases know how to laugh at yourself. This year, if you resolve to do anything, resolve that no matter what, you will never ever ever give up on Y-O-U!
- Arthur C. Clarke
