Medical myths explained: Why health researchers mistakenly think one disease causes another

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
The heart valve isn't misshapen due to a congenital defect; it is misshapen because the heart is a giant muscle that's sagging out of shape due to a lack of nutritional support. When you don't have B vitamins and the proper amount of magnesium, zinc and calcium in your body, guess what happens to all the muscles in your body? They all start to sag. The muscles lose their proper shape. This includes the muscles in your heart, biceps, hamstrings, and chest. When the heart valve is misshapen, even in a minor way, things can start to go wrong in your circulatory system.

Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation

When using these simple geometric shapes in Matrix Energetics, consider for example that the scapula or shoulder blade's basic shape is that of a triangle. The sacrum, which is the bone at the base of the spine, is also essentially triangular in shape. Now, you have two scapulas: one on the right and another on the left. Imagine that the person you are working with has a high right shoulder, and perhaps even discomfort or pain in that area of the body. One very simple thing to do is to create a wave pattern where all you need to do is adjust the orientation of the involved scapula/triangle.

This is the diagnosis you're given when you have a heart valve that doesn't maintain the correct shape. They'll tell you it's a congenital defect. They'll say it's something you were born with and, unless the valve is repaired through surgery, your heart will never beat correctly and you'll have heart problems for the rest of your life. What they won't tell you is that this is almost exclusively a nutritional problem. The heart valve isn't misshapen due to a congenital defect; it is misshapen because the heart is a giant muscle that's sagging out of shape due to a lack of nutritional support.

Prolonged eating in this ways often results in the triangular or pyramid body shape characteristic of very obese individuals. Triangular people are much heavier around the waist and hips. Men are often apple shaped and women pear shaped. In a triangular diet, breakfast is at the apex. Food intake is slight or nonexistent. During the day food intake increases, reaching its maximum at dinner, when the most calories are consumed, and continues until bedtime.

The Green Tea Book

Gunpowder When this type of green tea is processed, each leaf is rolled tightly into a pellet shape, which then unfurls when boiling water is poured over it. An employee of the British East India Company is reputed to have given this tea its name because he thought it resembled gunpowder (either because of its shape or its grayish-green color or both). The Chinese refer to this tea as Pearl Tea. Since it is tightly rolled, Gunpowder stays fresh for the longest storage time of the green teas.

Dried peas don't hold their shape as well as the fresh (or frozen) peas, and their taste is a little more earthy than the sweeter fresh ones. They're best used in purees, soups, and dishes that need some thickening. Dried peas, being more concentrated and dense than the fresh variety (which are more than 70 percent water) are higher in fiber— V2 cup of dried split peas has more than 8 g. Lentils þ Lentils are small, disk-shaped brown, reddish-orange, or brownish-green legumes that grow on an annual bushlike plant and are native to central Asia.

Location, shape, size, color, weather, and other subtle influences all produce various levels of yin and yang energies. Feng shui seeks ways to harmonize and balance these energetic patterns. These energies are categorized into five basic energy movements linked to the five elements of traditional Chinese philosophy: south (fire), center (earth), west (metal), north (water), and east (wood). As you can see on the accompanying table (see "The Five Elements of Feng Shui," page 169), these energy movements correspond with certain colors, shapes, and seasons of the year.

Jhon and Emoto lead us to a clear conclusion that the molecular structure of pure, vital water is hexagonal in shape. How well-organized water crystals are, as evidenced by Dr. Emoto's photographs, is also very significant. Any pollution, or change in the water's purity, results in a breakdown of this hexagonal crystalline structure, with a consequent reduction in life force qualities. The best water for drinking is water that has hexagon-shaped molecules, and maximum activity of biophoton particles.

If you are really feeling adventurous, you can opt for more complexity by working with tetrahedrons, octahedrons, or in fact, any shape. However, if you did not particularly excel at geometry in school, there is another, more natural way to do the same thing. In this approach, you just work with the first image that comes to mind. While constructing your wave and focusing your intent, mythological gods, cartoon figures such as Bugs Bunny, Superman, or any shape or image can spring to mind unbidden.

You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore

Bill Sardi

Cantwell says the link between cancer and microbes escapes discovery because microbiologists like to classify germs by their shape, size, staining ability, etc. But he maintains that there is a stealth bacterium that is as small as a virus, has no cell wall, is amorphous (no typical shape), and can resemble a fungus, a spore or a virus. It is a mycoplasma, the tiniest of bacteria. Because it grows and replicates slowly, it cannot be detected by culturing it (accelerating its numbers) in a lab dish until at least a year or more.
Source: Biochemical Biophysical Research Communications 334:769-78, 2005 Taxol causes cancer cells, and normal healthy cells to turn into a round shape. They then die off, but not in a selective manner. Healthy cells are killed off with the malignant cells. Using oleuropein, both healthy and tumorous cells appeared rounded after treatment, but the healthy cells then reverted back to their normal shape without toxicity. Oleuropein is a remarkably selective tumor cell destroyer. Here is a graphic presentation of what these researchers discovered.

If you're out of shape, begin exercising slowly but regularly. For example, walking is a great way to start. You can do it early in the morning, during lunch, or after work and dinner. If you're really out of shape—you know whether you are or aren't— start with a ten-minute daily walk. As soon as you're able to, perhaps after a week or two, increase it to fifteen minutes, then twenty, and then thirty minutes. In addition to walking longer distances, try picking up your pace a little. Walking will lower blood sugar levels, improve glucose tolerance, and produce modest cardiovascular benefits.

What you're seeing is the "etheric" BioEM field, which is copying the shape of the body. The colors—gray, silver, or yellow—do not carry special diagnostic significance. Occasionally though, other colors will bleed into this field if the person you are reading has some level of weakness, particularly if that person is under chronic stress. Out beyond the etheric BioEM field is another part of the field called the astral BioEM field {astral means light). This part of the field extends several feet out in all directions from the body in an ovular shape.

The muscles lose their proper shape. This includes the muscles in your heart, biceps, hamstrings, and chest. When the heart valve is misshapen, even in a minor way, things can start to go wrong in your circulatory system. If you were to take nutritional supplements, or get nutrition through whole food concentrates, then your heart would begin to literally "shape up." It would become more firm and the posture of your heart would rapidly improve, thereby eliminating the symptoms that were previously called "mitral valve prolapse.

Trans-fatty acids disrupt cell membrane function, because they change from a cis fatty acid to a trans-fatty acid, or from a curved shape to a straight shape; their actual molecular structure is thus changed and decreases the function of the cell membrane, which some people theorize is the actual brains of the cell and certainly critical for efficient movement of glucose into the cell. The partially hydrogenated fats are high in trans-fatty acids and are detrimental to cell membrane function. But let's be clear: Not all fats are harmful.

Assuming that you were in pretty good shape in your 20s, if you could maintain that weight, you would be in good shape. The truth is at 20, you could for all sorts of reasons, eat all sorts of terrible things and maintain that weight, because you were more physically active, because your system was just more resilient. As you get older, you lose that resilience. So you are more susceptible to lifestyle behaviors that can do you harm than you were when you were younger. WHAT CAN ADD ON MORE GOOD YEARS?

The amino acid sequence may be wrong, the protein's shape may be different, and molecular attachments may make the protein harmful. The fact that proteins act differently in new plant environments was made painfully clear to developers of GM peas in Australia. They canceled their 10-year, $2 million project after their GM protein, supposedly identical to the harmless natural version, caused inflammatory responses in mice. Subtle, unpredicted changes in molecular attachments might have similarly triggered deadly allergic reactions in people if the peas were put on the market.

Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods

There are certainly some differences in the shape, since a sugar chain is added in the ISP produced by the yeast. Such additions (glycosylation) to protein produced in GM peas led to a dangerous inflammation response in mice (see section 1.18). Geneticist Joe Cummins and others said that the ISP could likewise "be letting off an immunological time bomb,"42 and called for long-term safety tests. Unilever refused. They claim that since the glycosylation pattern in their ISP is typical of yeast, and because yeast does not cause immune problems in humans, the protein should be harmless.
The nuclei from GM-fed mice had a more roundish shape, decreased pore density and reduced amount of splicing factors.) The changes suggest that consumption of GM soy reduced the processing of RNA and/ or reduced the number of molecules that passed from inside the nucleus into the rest of the cell.75 The reason for all these changes is unclear, but their size, consistency, and highly significant correlations demonstrate that consumption of GM soy is the cause. Further analysis demonstrated that, as with the liver, pancreatic modifications disappear after removing the GM soy from the diet.

Consisting of mostly castor oil, thickeners, and waxes, Positively Radiant Lip Enhancer contains nothing that can enhance the shape and contour of lips, nor can it restore plumpness. On the plus side it can be somewhat moisturizing, and it does not contain irritating ingredients such as menthol or peppermint as so many other lip balms do. It is also fragrance- and preservative-free. AVEENO ULTRA-CALMING PRODUCTS © Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser ($6.99 for 6 ounces) uses feverfew extract, which Aveeno maintains will reduce facial redness and calm skin.
But none of that is related to treating expression lines in any way, shape, or form. Numbing muscles, which is how Botox works, doesn't prevent you from using them. One study did examine portulaca's effect on brain activity and resulting muscle relaxation, but the substance was used in a 10% concentration and injected into pigs' stomachs, quite a different thing from applying lesser amounts of this ingredient to skin (Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology, July 2001, pages 171-176).

A blood test for anemia may show a low volume of blood, a low level of total red blood cells, or red blood cells of an abnormal size or shape (i.e., sickle cell anemia). Identifying the underlying cause of anemia through a complete diagnostic evaluation is essential. When treating anemia, it is critical to support the digestive and immune systems and restore energy through improving the absorption of vital minerals and vitamins, particularly iron. Enzyme therapy supports all of these goals and can also be used to help the body maintain a correct pH balance.
