Be a fiscal patriot: die early and save your government from bankruptcy Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Taxes would have to go up considerably if the average lifespan increased by only five years. And if people started eating fruits and vegetables, if the food supply was cleaned up to remove metabolic disruptors and toxic ingredients, and if hydrogenated oils were banned, then the average lifespan in this country would increase even further. That will cost the government billions of dollars that it doesn't have. Which means, of course, we'd have to sell more treasury bills (government debt) to China and Japan.

Everywhere along fallen logs and branches was mycelium, provider of powerful immune-modulating beta-glucan sugars that protect against diseases like cancer and even prolong the survival of cancer patients (and were widely used as cancer drugs in Japan, whose average lifespan is years longer than that in the United States). These lush natural areas also provided habitat for the abundant wildlife, including the highly specialized anteaters that help protect the ginger from its natural enemies.

Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food Ann N. Martin See book keywords and concepts

My dear animal companion, Charlie, was a Newfoundland who died in September 1997, jusr as my fust book was published. The average lifespan of a Newfoundland is about eight years; however, Charlie lived to be fourteen. I gave him 1,500 mg. of vitamin C and 200 IU of vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) daily. There is no doubt in my mind that Charlie's natural diet and supplements added years to his life and kept him in good health. In 1999 I began to share my home with Sarge who was five years old at the time. He is a large, long-haired German shepherd who weighs about 130 pounds.

Waves can hold unimaginable quantities of data - far more than the 280 quintillion (280,000,000,000,000,000,000) bits of information which supposedly constitute the average human memory accumulated through an average lifespan.'8 It's been said that with holographic wave-interference patterns, all of the US Library of Congress, which contains virtually every book ever published in English, would fit onto a large sugar cube.,Q The holographic model would also account for the instant recall of memory, often as a three-dimensional image.

Their average lifespan is 86 years, while the average lifespan of a meat-eating type A is 61, with a high percentage of death from cancer or heart disease. This does not imply that type Os need to eat meat. There is little more than anecdotal evidence to suggest that some type Os need a higher amount of lean protein, which, if they do, can also come from vegan sources. It is interesting to note that several major leaders in the live-food movement are type O, including this one.

Health Update: McDonald's wrappers, antibiotics, freaky weather, creaky railroads and population control (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It's not as far fetched as it sounds: Social Security payout benefits start at age 65, and the average lifespan of a U.S. citizens is currently 77.6 years. But within the next fifty years, that number is expected to fall to 72.6 years, meaning that after working your whole life paying taxes, health insurance and more taxes, you'll have a grand total of 7.6 years to enjoy a measly monthly check from the government before you keel over. And that's assuming the U.S. government doesn't raise the retirement age (which they will) even further in order to save money.

Why Michael Moore's SiCKO is a health care documentary every American must see Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Many aren't any healthier than Moore, and they work in the industry! The average lifespan of a U.S. doctor is less than a Cuban peasant. That's not a joke. Regardless of Moore's present physical fitness challenges, he's obviously operating with a great degree of healthy skepticism about the way the U.S. operates today. Moore is an independent thinker who simply refuses to follow the crowd, and with this film, he's doing the job that the American people should have been doing all along -- questioning the sanity of our health care system.

Before long, the retirement age will be higher than the average lifespan age, meaning that you'll actually have to wait until the afterlife to start collecting your retirement checks.

Natural breakthrough for blood sugar control: Glucotor supplement clinically proven to reduce blood sugar as well as diabetes drugs, without the side effects Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Caloric Restriction is the only known dietary measure capable of extending maximum lifespan, as opposed to average lifespan. Put simply, when you can eliminate stress and damage related to food intake, you live longer. Taking Control While Glucotor can benefit virtually everyone, achieving blood sugar control can be a life-altering phenomenon for the millions and millions of diabetics around the world -- and let's not forget the millions more who are hypoglycemic and/or borderline diabetic.

And the average lifespan of U.S. citizens would skyrocket. But that's in la-la land. In the real world, nobody makes any money when you live longer. The only person who benefits is you. Your internal conspiracy theory You want a conspiracy theory? I'll give you one: most people conspire to kill themselves before retirement age by avoiding exercise, eating processed foods, refusing to take nutritional supplements and gulping down dangerous prescription drugs. If there's anyone to blame for dying early around here, it's the people who refuse to take care of their own health.

And if people started eating fruits and vegetables, if the food supply was cleaned up to remove metabolic disruptors and toxic ingredients, and if hydrogenated oils were banned, then the average lifespan in this country would increase even further. That will cost the government billions of dollars that it doesn't have. Which means, of course, we'd have to sell more treasury bills (government debt) to China and Japan.

And don't blame social security for the fact that your own food and lifestyle habits add up to an average lifespan of about 53. That's your own fault, not the government's. Even people who know what's unhealthy still manage to conspire against their own good sense and eat that stuff anyway. That's the real conspiracy here, folks. Because remember this: you can't control the lawmakers in Washington. You can't control the future of social security. You can't even control the FDA. But you can darn well control what you put in your own mouth.

While the average lifespan in the industrialized world has steadily increased, the quality of life has simultaneously declined. In light of the Encouraging Statistic above, that an estimated 60-90% of chronic disease is preventable, and the fact that in a recent study, 97% of the adults polled listed maintaining good physical health as the number one most important thing in their lives, it may seem a bit puzzling why this epidemic of preventable dz's-ease is occurring in this country, and spreading throughout the world.

Professor Huxley extended the lifespan of worms to nineteen times their average lifespan by periodically underfeeding them.8 Research has also shown that undereating increases the lifespan in fruit flies, water fleas, and trout.9 One of the more interesting points about this research, particularly that of Walford and Weindruch, is that it shows that middle-aged mice on a calorie-restricted diet can get significant anti-aging results. In other words, it doesn't matter at what age you start; you can still turn on theyouthing gene expression.

Scientific Evidence for Calorie Restriction and Youthing Maximum lifespan, which is different from average lifespan, is a measure of who lives longest in any species. Maximum lifespan is the outer limit of lifespan potential and leads us to an understanding about how to turn on the youthing genes and actually reverse the aging process; it is not simply achieving a normal healthy lifespan.

Beat Diabetes Naturally: The Best Foods, Herbs, Supplements, and Lifestyle Strategies to Optimize Your Diabetes Care Michael T. Murray See book keywords and concepts

Since the average lifespan of a red blood cell is 120 days, the AjC assay represents time-averaged values for blood glucose over the preceding two to four months. It is extremely valuable in providing a simple, useful method for assessing treatment effectiveness and patient compliance. AjC determination along with a fasting blood glucose level can also be used in some cases to diagnose diabetes,6 but we do not recommend it as the sole diagnostic criteria. About a third of diabetics diagnosed with the GTT have a normal AjC.

If you're lying there dying of cancer or heart disease you're probably regretting just the opposite, especially if your age is well below the average lifespan. I'll never forget my mother saying to me going into her third week of what turned out to be a six-week unexpected stay in the hospital, "I wish I had taken better care of myself. I probably wouldn't be in here right now." She then vowed that given a second chance she would change her ways and start eating better once she was discharged and would be looking to me for help.

Of the 31 patients who received only medical intervention for their cancer, the average lifespan was about 6 months. Of the remaining 98 patients who received a combination of medical and nutritional therapies, the average lifespan was about 6 years, a 1200% increase in lifespan, with poor responders (20%) somewhat offsetting exceptional responders (33%).1

Mice and other small mammals, on the other hand, have a 0-13% repair rate over 24 hours (which correlates with the mouse average lifespan of only 3.4 years) (Hart et al. 1974). DNA adducts represent genetic mutation. If the adducts are not repaired, this can lead to tumor formation. Preventing these adducts from forming in the first place would dramatically lower cancer risk. PREVENTING GENE MUTATION The first lines of defense against the many carcinogens in the human diet are agents that prevent gene mutation.

The study, which evaluated 11,348 participants over a 10-year period of time, showed that high vitamin C intake extended average lifespan and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease by 42% (Enstrom et al. 1992). A study by Nyyssonen et al. (1997) in the British Medical Journal evaluated 1605 randomly selected men in Finland ages 42-60 years from 1984-1989. None of these men had evidence of preexisting heart disease. After adjusting for other confounding factors, men who were deficient in vitamin C had 3.5 times more heart attacks than men who were not deficient in vitamin C.

The study (which evaluated 11,348 participants over a 10-year period) showed that long-term, high vitamin C intake extended average lifespan and reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease 45% (Enstrom et al. 1992; Hansen 2000). Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine reported that vitamin C appears effective in lowering mild cases of hypertension. The patients lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by about 9% with a daily dose of 500 mg of ascorbic acid (Stauth 2001).

Americans, with many reputable anti-aging scientists predicting average lifespans of 120-150 years before 2046. We have entered an era when older people make up the greatest proportion of America's population. When the first U.S. Census was taken in 1790, half the population was under the age of 16. In 1990, less than one-fourth the population was under the age of 16. The median age had doubled in 200 years! In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that by the year 2025, there will be two 65-year-olds for every teenager!

He was featured on numerous television news shows and written about in magazines. The average lifespan for Airedales is about 11 years. At age 10, Lex was starting to fail. Dr. Ronald Klatz placed Lex on the following regime and saw startling anti-aging effects. Within 6 months, Lex had apparently de-aged to the condition of an 8-year-old dog. He was able to jump 3-foot fences, his coat returned to a dark black-brown from his senescent gray. His eyes became bright and animated, where before the therapy they were cloudy and dull. Lex ran and played vigorously with dogs 5 years his junior.

Studies by the EPA and the National Research Council have shown that prolonged exposure (about the average lifespan, or seventy years) to high radon levels causes as many as 20,000 of the 136,000 annual deaths from lung cancer in this country. It has been estimated that 85 percent of these deaths are due to a combination of radon and smoking. Increasingly, environmental and occupational exposure have been recognized as contributors to the development of lung cancer (see Chapter 7, "Cancer").

A recent issue of Science magazine reported that, with the currently expanding lifespans of modern man, all it would take for the average lifespan to reach 99.2 years is the elimination of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. We now know what causes the majority of age-related disease. We know what mechanisms lead to almost all cases of atherosclerotic heart disease, and how to prevent it.
