Redneck Revival (Chicken Free Zone)

[Mossy]

Penguins are supposed to put on a few pounds this time of year !

Guilty conscience..?..


I was asking Red..you posted inbetween..

 

[epenguin]

Damn, I fessed up to a bit o weight gain, and it was not aimed at me !!!

Bugger ! Off t. bed, with three Big Mac n Fries n a Watneys 7 Pack. Remember them oldies ?

eP.

 

[Renaissance Redneck]

Owld bird.....well I suppose it is a step up from owld Witch like that damned penguin called me..

Here on the chicken ranch, our old birds are revered. As they are at AFN

You ain't never gonna let me forget that faux par are you Boss ? Can't blame you. I wouldn't.

It was a huge gaff....

PS..how is your weight doing..?

Damn, I fessed up to a bit o weight gain, and it was not aimed at me !!!

Bugger ! Off t. bed, with three Big Mac n Fries n a Watneys 7 Pack. Remember them oldies ?

eP.

OOOhhh, Watneys That's like beer, but for Brits, right?

I'm getting fat fast, Aunty. I'm peeing between 7.3 and 7.5 on any given day, still maintaining a low sugar (almost) no gluten diet. I'm up to 141lbs as of my last weigh in. Most mornings I hit the nebuliser with the MgCl mix, and it's a part of my ritual ever single evening.
My goal is 165 lbs, with no man boobs

He is Fine....I've spoken to him.

Me too! I predict a fairy tale ending. Or at least hope for one

You boys.....so easy to wind up.
Dragon in a term of Endearment for your wife in my old stamping ground..hence the Dragon monika..

It was a huge gaff....

MASSIVE.....I was gutted for you meself...

Lean meat..back to or almost to your Prime weight.

The man boobs will depend on how much and how long you stretched the skin....Skinny Ass...

Remember..we have turned your body back to healing..we have corrected your vitamin deficiencies and absorbtion problems..and given you oxygen in your blood..so you are in Best position to Fix the man boobs appropriate to the new weight.

If not..those modern sports bras are sooooo Comfortable...they don't dig into your shoulders when you are working...

I predict a fairy tale ending. Or at least hope for one

Fingers crossed..

Here is a good place to start the homework...

How You Rot & Rust

THE pH EQUATION & HEALTH


According to many health researchers, total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. In case you missed it, let’s say it again...


Total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.


The magnitude of meaning behind this research is of incredible importance to someone who is fighting a disease, overcoming an illness, or just desiring to feel better. What it means is this...


Your Body pH Affects EVERYTHING.


Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range right around 7.45. Below or above this range means symptoms and disease.


When pH goes off, microbial looking froms in the blood can change shape, mutate, mirror pathogenicity, and grow.


When pH goes off, ENZYMES that are constructive can become destructive.


When pH goes off, OXYGEN delivery to cells suffers.


A WORD ABOUT OXYGEN


More and more research is showing that low oxygen delivery to cells is a major factor in most if not all degenerative conditions.


Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg of Germany, won his Nobel Prize for his discovery of oxygen deficiency in the CANCER growth process. As stated above, when pH is off and our bodies are running more acidic, our cells are getting less oxygen. Cancer thrives under an acid tissue pH/oxygen deficient environment. Is it any wonder today that cancer rates are up?


To recall how important oxygen is to your life, just stop breathing for a minute. Get the idea? Each cell in your body can breathe fully or not. Which it is depends upon having an optimum pH balance. Do you think keeping an eye on your body pH might be important in your life?

pH Controls the Things You Can't Live Without...



Like your BRAIN. Your brain needs fuel to run, and the fuel it uses is glucose. But unlike other cells, your brain can't store glucose. It depends on the second to second supply from the bloodstream - a bloodstream that is affected by pH, which controls the efficiency of INSULIN, which allows sugar to enter into cells which in turn controls blood sugar levels.



Your HEART. William Philpott M.D. in his 'Biomagnetic Handbook' made an important body pH/electrical connection.



As the pH of the blood goes more acid, fatty acids which are normally electro-magnetically charged on the negative side switch to positive and automatically are attracted to and begin to stick to the walls of arteries which are electro-magnetically charged on the negative side. (And as science states, opposites attract.) It should start to make sense that a society which over-emphasizes food that could push blood to be more acid will have a high rate of heart disease. And so it goes.



pH control impacts every biochemical process in the body including...



ENZYMES which are part of that biochemical process. There are hundreds if not thousands of enzyme processes which take place in the body. Many are so specific that they are like complex square pegs that need to "fit" into specific square holes in order to carry out their duty. If blood pH is off balance even a little, some important pegs are not "fitting" their respective slots. Enzyme function and thus life itself begins to suffer.



MINERAL ASSIMILATION is affected by pH. Minerals have different pH levels at which they can be assimilated into the body. Minerals on the lower end of the atomic scale can be assimilated in a wider pH range, and minerals higher up on the scale require a narrower and narrower pH range in order to be assimilated by the body. For example….



Sodium and magnesium have wide pH assimilation ranges.

It narrows somewhat for calcium and potassium.

Narrows more for manganese and iron.

More for zinc and copper.

More for iodine.



Iodine, which is high up on the atomic scale, requires near perfect pH for its assimilation into the body.



Iodine you may know, is one of the most important minerals for proper functioning of the THYROID. But, the thyroid doesn't get access to iodine unless the body pH is near perfect.



With a society in a largely pH unbalanced state, one would suspect a lot of thyroid problems. Malfunctioning thyroids have been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression, overweight, fatigue and more. Are you starting to see the basic metabolic picture evolving here?



Due primarily to agricultural soil depletion (and digestive insufficiency in many individuals), mineral deficiency is a large problem facing most people today. And mineral deficiency relates to the quantity of life energy or, more specifically, electricity, in our bodies.



Body mineral content and balances control

the quantity of electricity in our bodies.



The speed at which the electricity flows

is controlled by the body’s pH balance.



pH Balance and the Mineral Connection



There are complex biochemical processes taking place in the body constantly in an attempt to keep blood pH as near perfect as possible. These are known as the pH buffering systems. These buffering systems need a good balance of minerals to work effectively. If we are getting inadequate mineral intake from the food we eat, we are going to start having problems with our pH balancing systems.



And if our pH is unbalanced, what is the result? Well, by now you should start having a good idea. Pick your disease, choose your unbalance. Cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, chronic fatigue, allergies, obesity, just name it. If you don't feel good, one of the basic things that stands between you and perfect health is your body’s pH. Your basic metabolic body balance.



While We're on the Subject of Minerals....



Did you know that.....



Minerals are as important as, if not more important than, vitamins. Minerals are co-enzymes which help vitamins function. In the absence of minerals, vitamins can't do their job. Many minerals are referred to as trace minerals, which might make it seem as though they are of little importance, but nothing could be further from the truth. Minerals and their deficiencies have been implicated in a wide range of off-balance health conditions. Here are some examples:



Supplementing a diet with sufficient chromium and vanadium can help prevent diabetes and has been seen to reverse diabetes in those already diabetic, as vanadium is reportedly able to replace insulin in some cases.



Copper deficiency is implicated in aneurysms (brain, aortic, etc.)



Magnesium is quite possibly the most important mineral for the reduction of coronary heart disease. (The latest "cutting edge" research shows that heart disease is really a function of heart muscle acidosis.)



Boron helps keep calcium in the bones, helps women preserve and make estrogen, and helps men keep testosterone. Boron affects alertness. Boron can help eliminate arthritis.



Potassium and magnesium (along with organic sodium) are some of the most important minerals for rebalancing the electrical properties of the cell, for eliminating excess acidity, and for helping to balance calcium.



Magnesium helps conduct electrical messages between all the neurons of the body.



People get irrational when potassium levels are low.



Zinc is involved in over 200 brain enzyme interactions.



Drinking zinc mixed with distilled water can stop anorexia nervosa in a day.



Zinc deficiency symptoms include loss of taste and smell.



Zinc deficiency in children results in moodiness, depression, irritability, photo phobia (light sensitivity), antagonism, temper tantrums & learning problems.



Children who do poorly on achievement tests tend to have low iron levels. These children also display disruptive, impulsive and irritable behavior in the classroom. Children who have high lead levels do more poorly overall. Most of these children's mineral imbalances go undiagnosed and instead are medicated with drugs.



Likewise, ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder can often be eliminated by balancing nutritional trace minerals. There is no need to drug our children.



Cigarette smoke is rich in cadmium (the blue color in the smoke). Cadmium is the most neurotoxic substance known to human beings. A low zinc/high cadmium ratio is implicated in learning disabilities.



Zinc is needed to balance cadmium.



Too much copper is an irritant to the brain.



A story is told by Dr. Alex Schauss, a noted author, researcher, and nutritional mineral expert. It is about his experience with a 9 year old boy brought into his clinic some years ago. The boy had been charged with attempted murder. His criminal record began at age 6. He burned animals, shot at people’s houses and beat up mothers pushing baby strollers. The police all said he would be a lifetime criminal, a Charles Manson type of psychotic. He was on six psychiatric drugs, and was kicked out of school after he tried to kill a 10 year old girl. Dr. Schauss did a hair mineral analysis and discovered his copper levels were off the charts. He added supplemental zinc to the boy’s diet to chelate out the excess copper, and within two weeks the boys urinalysis showed all the excess copper had been eliminated. He went off all medication, returned to school and became a model student. Years later the boy returned to see Dr. Schauss. He was a junior in college, an A student, on the varsity basketball team, and had a heart of gold.



High manganese levels show statistically high correlation with violent behavior., while lithium balances and helps control manganese. The cities of the world with the highest lithium concentration in their water show the lowest homicide rates.



The trace element rubidium cures manic depression.



The right ratio of copper to zinc in the cell acts as an antioxidant.



This information shows just a teeny fraction of how minerals and mineral imbalances can affect your health. Much of this information is buried in professional journals, there for the taking. It appears that due to politics and the influence and strength that the medical/drug industrial complex has over the suppression of information, these things stay buried.



If this type of information, along with the other things we know, could be assimilated into our society, whether through the efforts of individuals or that of our government, and if people like doctors, psychiatrists, and dietitians were to act on it, we could lessen violence in our society, close jails, raise academic achievement, and greatly reduce outlays of public money for Medicare and Medicaid. We could see our health insurance premiums drop to about $50 dollars a month for a family of four because we could eliminate our need for expensive hospital visits and treatments excepting emergency care for accidents.



Without a doubt, the single most important thing you can do for your health is to supplement your diet with broad spectrum trace minerals. They are that important.



Your Disease is in Perfect Harmony With Your Body



From what you've learned so far, you should begin to understand the truth of this statement. When your body’s mineral balances are off, your health is off. When your body’s pH and basic metabolic processes are off, it sets up the internal environment that becomes a new playground for the opportunistic "bugs" - bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.

 

[Mossy]

pH, BUGS, & ROT.

Understanding Biological Terrain



When your body's blood pH changes away from the ideal, it can become an environment for opportunistic microorganisms to grow and flourish.



The buggy looking things in the blood tell us a story of how we age, and how we ROT.



That's right; as we age, we rot. It is part of the disease process. It is the biological aspect of aging and disease. It is this rotting mechanism that helps to do us in and turn us back into the dust from which we came.



There is a pH biochemical process which lies behind this rotting mechanism which I'll discuss in a moment. But you should also be aware as we talk that this is not the whole story on aging and disease, for there is also an electrical/oxidative aspect. This is how we RUST.



On the physical level, the aging and disease process is one of ROTTING AND RUSTING. Right now I'm going to talk about the rot, and I'll discuss the rust later.



The Biochemical Processes Behind

pH Levels in Your Body.



Let’s talk very simplistically about the biochemical processes which lay the groundwork for the rotting processes in your body. This is the process of pH change and alteration down at the blood and tissue level. In order to do this in a simple fashion, let's look at the process of food metabolism and how your body handles metabolic by-products from food intake.



One of the by-products of food metabolism is CO2, carbon dioxide. As you know, lung respiration is one way in which your body eliminates carbon dioxide - it happens every time you exhale. However, in order to eliminate all of the carbon dioxide that is generated from normal metabolism, the lungs would need a respiration rate far above normal breathing. Holding this constantly accelerated rate would indeed be very difficult. Therefore, other mechanisms comes into play for handling the excess. 1) The CO2 combines with ammonia (produced from the oxidation of glutamine) and converts to urea in the liver and is excreted by the kidneys. 2)The carbon dioxide combines with water through a process utilizing the enzyme carbonic anhydrase and the co-enzyme mineral ZINC. Through this process, carbonic acid is formed, which breaks down into hydrogen and bicarbonate atoms/molecules.



Aha - notice we just mentioned hydrogen. What does pH stand for? Potential Hydrogen. When we talk about hydrogen, we are talking about potential ACIDS. When we talk of bicarbs, we are talking bases (alkaline substances). ACIDS are a normal by-product of metabolism. The body has the mechanisms in place to eliminate these acids. BUT, through poor dietary habits, shallow breathing, lack of excercise, toxicity exposures, etc., which can lead to liver stress and kidney malfunction, the ACIDS in the body do not always get eliminated as they should. In this case, what's a body to do? Well if it can't eliminate them, then it has to store them. And store them it does.



There is a theory that says when the body has an excess of acid it can't get rid of, the acid gets stored for later removal. Where? In the interstitial spaces, also called the extracellular matrix - the spaces around the cells; the mesenchyme. When the body stores a hydrogen molecule/atom/proton (the acid) in the extracellular matrix, it will balance this with an equal molecule of bicarb or base in the blood. This is the body's amazing compensatory mechanism at work. What we see here is the pH interplay between the blood and the tissues. If the body has an ecess of acidity it might store the acid in the tissues (the tissue pH decreases) and the blood compensates and becomes alkaline (the blood pH increases).



Is this important? You bet it is. We are starting to scratch the surface for the rotting mechanism in our body. But before we get there, let's push on and see what happens when the acids don't get an opportunity to leave and more acid accumulates.



The Acidic/Mineral Bugaboo



As more acid accumulates in tissues, as this story goes, it gets stored and pushed further, and ultimately it gets pushed into the cell. When it gets pushed into the cell, the first thing it does is displace POTASSIUM and then MAGNESIUM and then SODIUM.



Now these are three critical minerals in our body. The potassium and magnesium will leave the body, but as a preservation mechanism the sodium will be retained. Remember, the body balances by placing an alkaline molecule in the blood. Should mineral reserves be low, it is thought that CALCIUM (the most alkaline mineral known) can get pulled from the bones and put it into the blood. This leads to something called free calcium excess. This is something you don't want and it is what's behind osteoporosis, arthritic pain, etc. It can be brought about by the body compensating for an ever increasing tissue acidosis somewhere in the body.



Note that we are being incredibly simplistic here with this whole story. Regarding calcium, understand that it does not just leave the bone to balance acid as calcium is not a buffer, but when potassium leaves it will bind with phosphorous from the bone and in the process of phosphorous exiting the bone out goes the calcium. In these situations what the body often needs is more potassium bicarbonate, magnesium, perhaps organic sodium, and possibly zinc which lends help to the whole proper acid breakdown process which we started five paragraphs ago. Calcium needs to be given judiciously as does potassium as potassium can exacerbate things like cancer which can thrive in an acid environment of the type we’re talking about here.

There you go..


Fascinating isn't it? If you begin to understand this concept, you will begin to understand a prime reason why we get sick and how we get sick, and you will realize that much of modern medicine is looking under the wrong stones for answers to many disease questions. They need to be looking at the environmental factors in and around the body itself.

Your Disease is in Perfect Harmony With Your Body

I finally see that, Ma’am. It's not the one thing, it's not even the other. It's all the "little" things combined.

From what you've learned so far, you should begin to understand the truth of this statement. When your body’s mineral balances are off, your health is off. When your body’s pH and basic metabolic processes are off, it sets up the internal environment that becomes a new playground for the opportunistic "bugs" - bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.

It took all this for the puzzle pieces to come together?
Do you believe people can have sudden epiphanies? A short moment in time that re-defines what and who they are? Lights on, shadows gone? That's been this week for me, and I guess the past few years have led up to this.
I tend to think in music. This video suddenly made perfect sense to me. I used to think it was a love song, In a way, I guess it is. Its now, to me, a call to arms.
Certain things change your life..... in my case, I don't think it was the c. I think it was the help me and the missus got to squash it. Seeing how far folks will go, still, to help someone in need. I'm stronger, my marriage is stronger love Life is good, really good.
