HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Social media has become the everyday norm for everything from staying in touch, to sharing information, to finding the best deals. But how do you feel about social networking coming from the place where you pray?

Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen not only preaches to millions around the world each week on television, he's also considered one of the most influential people on Twitter.

Even Joel's mom, 78-year-old family matriarch Dodie, sends out her very own tweets.

"We use it as way to reach out to people," Andrea Davis with Lakewood said.

And the people of Lakewood are asked to reach back. At Sunday service, a video board encourages members to tweet their spiritual thoughts.

If you can't attend services, don't worry. They can be streamed to you.

There's also the team of volunteers handling the prayer requests pouring in from around the world via social media.

"I think the potential for ministry on social media is enormous. When you look at the numbers and you see that 800 million people are on Facebook, that's where people are today," said Steve Austin, director of Christian education at Lakewood.

Even the Vatican, steeped in old tradition, is getting in on the new media.

Last year, Pope Benedict tweeted for the first time using an iPad and gave his blessing for an app that helps followers keep track of their sins.

And then there's this connection between ancient and modern: Houstonian Hardeep Singh is able to log on and receive daily spiritual messages from her Shikh religion all the way from the Golden Temple in India.

"It really touches you because you are sitting so many miles away from the place, but you look like you are in the congregation there," Singh said.

"The purpose of the church is to be a social entity, to be a community. So this gives them an even faster way to develop that kind of community," said Dr. Lynn Mitchell, director religious studies at the University of Houston.

Mitchell said social media allows places of worship -- big and small -- to extend far beyond their religious walls.

New Faith Church in southwest Houston has a congregation of 5,000, and they have been embracing technology for years. Pastor T.R. Williams, 65, even keeps an iPad at the pulpit to guide him through his sermons. He says it sends a message, especially to the younger members.

"That is the way that they learn today. That is where they are connected," Williams said.

But is it all too much?

Rabbi Scott Hausman-Weiss of Congregation Emanuel often tweets and updates posts on the temple's Facebook page, but he cautions that the technology should never overshadow the message.

"Social media for me isn't about relevance. It's about delivering relevance. We could have completely irrelevant content but we are using up-to-date technology and still it's going to fall on deaf ears," Hausman-Weiss said.

Pope Benedict has also expressed concern. Last month, he urged a period of silence to help balance what he called the relentless chatter of social media. But, in the end, there's no stopping what social media has done: infiltrated every aspect of our lives, including the spiritual.

"Christ said that we are going to be able to do more than he ever did. And then, believe it or not, social media allows us to do more, to minister to more," Lakewood member Dr. Ward Bond said.

Muslims are also using technology to practice their faith. There are phone apps that send out reminders for when it's time for the five daily prayers and even a compass which points to Mecca.

Estrogen Induces Nutritional Deficiencies

2012-02-02T10:06:00.000-06:00

Do you know why it is difficult for doctors to treat nutritional deficiencies? It’s because many of the prescription drug you are using lead to nutritional deficiencies which leads to symptoms they want to treat with more prescription drugs. Today I’m going to go over Estrogen that many of you ladies take and show you the deficiencies that it can cause.

Estrogen in the form of birth control pills or hormonal replacement therapy leads to nutritional deficiencies which could have dire consequences. Estrogen therapy in any form can lead to a Folic Acid deficiency which could lead to increases risk of Folic acid deficiency can cause poor growth, tongue inflammation, gingivitis, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, diarrhea, irritability, forgetfulness, and mental sluggishness.

Pregnancy can put a woman at risk for folic acid deficiency as the fetus easily depletes a mother's nutrient reserves. Folic acid deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk for neural tube defects including cleft palate, spina bifida, and brain damage. Neural tube defects are birth defects caused by abnormal development of the neural tube, a structure that eventually gives rise to the central nervous system.

A deficiency of Folic Acid could increase the risk of cervical cancer in women as well as protect against the development of some forms of other cancers, particularly cancer of the colon, as well as breast, esophagus, and stomach.

Studies suggest that Folic Acid may be associated with depression more than any other nutrient, and may play a role in the high incidence of depression in the elderly. Between 15% and 38% of people with depression have low folate levels in their bodies and those with very low levels tend to be the most depressed. Many healthcare providers recommend a B complex multivitamin that contains folate as well as vitamins B6 and B12 to improve symptoms.

Estrogen also depletes Magnesium, the B vitamins – B2, B3, B6, B12; also Vitamin C and Zinc. The depletion of these particular nutrients would indeed lead to problems of nervous system, the immune system (Vitamin C and Zinc) and the proper digestion of our food. The B vitamins are needed to help convert our food into usable energy. Remember to eat right and fill in the blanks with a high quality multivitamin and mineral formula to prevent nutritional deficiencies caused by a poor diet or prescription medication.

GH3: Anti-Aging Perfection

2012-01-24T11:20:00.000-06:00

Gerovital H3 is beneficial in treating cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, depression, loss of energy, memory problems, sexual dysfunction, wrinkled skin, graying hair and baldness. This supplement is widely promoted as an all-purpose rejuvenation treatment that can restore youthful vigor in the elderly.

Importantly, Gerovital-H3® can help reduce cortisol levels. Cortisol is the hormone responsible for stress and a “rare” hormone in that it is one of the few that increases with age. It is believed that high-cortisol levels lead to accelerated aging because cortisol “attacks” the hypothalamus, (the area of the brain that “controls” the endocrine system). Ironically, cortisol may run out-of-control due to its ability to damage the hypothalamus that controls the adrenal glands that produce cortisol! Thus this vicious catch-22 situation leads to an impaired endocrine system and forms part of the Neuroendocrine Theory of Aging.

In a landmark 14 page paper with 62 references, Dr. Sapse made a that cortisol, the “state of siege” hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, could all by itself cause a host of the common mental and physical problems related to stress, aging and degenerative disease.

Over a lifetime cortisol damages the brain, muscle, bone, skin and the immune system. A key regulatory center of the brain, the hippocampus, may gradually lose 20% of its cells due to its unique sensitivity to cortisol damage. The hippocampus, a mid brain structure strategically seated above the hypothalamus/pituitary gland and below the cerebral cortex, plays a crucial role in cognition, attention, memory, emotional stability and sensory integration. It also plays a major role in regulating the hypothalamic – pituitary axis, which in turn regulates the entire endocrine (glandular) system of the human body.

Gerovital-H3® is also a reversible reducer the brain enzyme MAO, (a substance that breaks down neurotransmitters [and increases with age] having a detrimental effect on brain function), thus accounting for Gerovital-H3's anti-depressant affects.

Gerovital H3 has shown in several well designed studies as a treatment for depression. Significant improvements were reported in the mood and behavior of depressed patients taking GH3. In one study William W.K. Zung of Duke University in North Carolina concluded that Gerovital was more effective than imipramine in relieving depression.

In another study, S. Cohen and K.S. Ditman reported that most patients on GH3 “felt a greater sense of well-being and relaxation, slept better at night and many obtained some relief from depression and the discomforts of chronic inflammation or degenerative disease.

That's Not Me!

2012-01-13T09:49:00.000-06:00

I have to post this picture of my twin brother, identical twin brother Donald. Many of you who watch my television show Nutritional Living will see the Healthy Hair Kit commercial and see him at the end of it. I get so much response from people who think it's actually me in a wig. Nope, it's really my brother Donald. We shot the commercial with a special twist at the end and it worked. The best part is he actually takes the Healthy Hair Kit from Nutritional Living. That's his real hair and as for me, I like low maintenance, so I'm out the door to the office in less time than it takes him. I couldn't imagine blowing drying a mane like that in the first place.

Now you know, it's not me in the commercial!

The Glorious Flush of Niacin

2012-01-13T09:45:00.000-06:00

There are many claimed niacin benefits, although the vitamin is best known for its ability to improve cholesterol levels. Some studies show that the B3 vitamin can slow the buildup of plaque within the arteries (when combined with a cholesterol medication). Niacin may also be beneficial for treating depression, osteoarthritis, and migraines. However, more research is needed to support these possible benefits.

Despite the availability of many different cholesterol medications, niacin remains the most effective treatment for increasing HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol). Niacin can increase HDL by an impressive 15 to 35 percent. It also lowers LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) by a modest though still respectable 5 to 25 percent. Additionally, niacin can have a significant impact on high triglycerides, lowering them by 20 to 50 percent. These actions complement the activity of various other cholesterol medications, and niacin is often used in combination with other cholesterol treatments (such as statins), particularly for its beneficial effect on HDL.

Atherosclerosis

Studies have shown that niacin can slow the buildup of plaque within the arteries and may even reverse the buildup of plaque. These studies used niacin in combination with a bile acid sequestrant (another type of cholesterol medication); it is not clear if niacin alone can produce these benefits.

Heart Attack Prevention

Studies have shown that niacin can help reduce the risk of a second heart attack in people who have high cholesterol and have already had one heart attack. It is not clear if niacin has similar benefits for people who have never had a heart attack.

Other Claimed Benefits of Niacin

It has been clearly demonstrated that niacin is effective for improving cholesterol and for treating pellagra. However, other claimed niacin benefits are not as well-established. These possible benefits of niacin include:

Treating peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Treating or preventing migraines
Treating depression
Treating or preventing motion sickness
Treating Meniere's disease
Promoting relaxation
Decreasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease
Decreasing the risk of cataracts
Reducing diarrhea and fluid loss caused by cholera
Preventing type 1 diabetes in high-risk children (nicotinamide only)
Preserving some of the function of insulin-producing cells in people with type 2 diabetes or early type 1 diabetes
Treating osteoarthritis
Treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when used in combination with high-dose vitamins (nicotinamide only)
Treating schizophrenia.

I will continue to take my niacin and stay in a good mood and the other benefits are…well awesome!

STOP SUFFERING from LOW THYROID!

2011-12-14T10:42:00.002-06:00

About 50% of people with health issues have some sort of endocrine problem. Many have thyroid issues. In primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid is the basic issue. With secondary hypothyroidism, the basic problem is with other glands that affect the thyroid. About 80% of those with thyroid problems are women. American men and women are continually dosed with estrogen or estrogen-like compounds in drugs, food (especially soy), water, and air. Excess estrogen interferes with the conversion of T4 to the active T3. Add to this our exposure to chlorine and fluoride in our water. Both of these block the activity of iodine. Also, most Americans have an iodine deficiency. Many have protein deficiencies. (Many of these concepts are based on research by Dr. Harry Eidenier, Jr., Ph.D.)

DETECTION: This is a combination of looking at symptoms and then tests.

SYMPTOMS: Primary and secondary hypothyroidism have similar symptoms. Symptoms provide about half of the needed information. Look for:

- Morning headaches that wear off during the day.
- Low morning underarm temperature. (Adrenal, pituitary or other issues such as elevated estrogen can also cause this.)
- Depression.
- Dry or brittle hair, or hair that falls out.
- Dry or itching skin.
- Sensitivity to cold. Thyroid is the heater.
- Slow wound healing.
- Joint stiffness.
- Poor circulation.
- Cold or numbness of the hands or feet.
- Loss of the outside portion of the eyebrows.
- Increase in weight even on a low calorie or low carbohydrate diet.
- Reduced initiative.
- Mental confusion.
- Poor memory.
- Ringing in the ears along with decreased blood pressure and/or slow pulse. (This can also be an adrenal problem.)
- Muscle cramps while at rest.
- Catching colds or other infections easily. Difficulty recovering from infections.
- Requiring excessive sleep (more than 8 hours).
- Chronic digestive problems. This is often low stomach acid.
- Edema, especially in the face.
- Constipation.

TESTS: Tests provide about half of the needed information. Out of 100 patients with the above symptoms, about 10 will have genuine (primary) hypothyroidism. The rest will mostly be excessive adrenal (cortisol) output blocking conversion from T4 to active T3, or low pituitary function leading to low thyroid function. Some cases are excess estrogen or low adrenal function.

- TSH. This is the primary test. The healthy range is about 2.0-4.0. With symptoms and a reading above 4.0, this is probably primary hypothyroidism. With symptoms and a score below 2.0, the problem is probably a weak anterior pituitary. If the TSH is between 2.0 and 4.0, look at the T4, T3, and cortisol.

- T4 (thyroxin) should be in the middle or just above the middle of the normal range.

- T3 or T3 uptake should be in the middle or just above the middle of the normal range. If there are symptoms, and the T4 is in the middle or upper part of its range, and the T3 is in the lower part of its range, the person is an under-converter.

- Cortisol from a salivary adrenal stress test. Blood TSH, T4, and T3 may be fine. But if there are symptoms, cortisol may be high because of stress or excess carbohydrates in the diet. If the cortisol is high, the patient is almost certainly making reverse T3 instead of real T3. Reverse T3 is not a functional hormone but it looks like normal T3 on a blood test. This is often treated with T3 and T3 may relieve symptoms. But it may be better treated as a high cortisol issue. At least half of adrenal issues are excess cortisol output!

- Estrogen is best tested from a saliva sample.

- Iodine. Paint a silver dollar size of drugstore tincture of iodine on your skin. If it soaks in quickly (the stain is gone in less than 24 hours), you need iodine unless you have an iodine allergy.

- Basal temperature. The goal is 97.8-98.2.

TREATMENT: Diet should have adequate protein and lots of vegetables. Fewer grains are best for most people. Some fruit. Avoid sugar. Drink reverse osmosis or distilled water and use a shower filter. Use flax oil (3-6 grams a day) or EPA/DHA. Eliminate caffeine and nicotine. Consider Betaine HCl to replace missing stomach acid. Consider digestive enzymes.

Primary hypothyroidism (high TSH) - Dr. Bond' Thyroid Complete helps convert T4 to T3. This will reduce high TSH 95% of the time. Avoid cabbage family foods and millet.

Under-converter (low T3) - use Dr. Bond's Thyroid Complete..

Adrenal - for excess cortisol (reverse T3) use AdrenoSense, 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch to lower cortisol. Consider Dr. Bond's GlucoPlex. Diet is crucial. Excess carbohydrates will often block progress. If cortisol is low, consider DHEA.

Excess Estrogen - Calcium D-Glucarate (1 twice a day) helps the liver detoxify excess estrogen. High estrogen levels can decrease thyroid function whereas progesterone will increase thyroid function.

TIME: Symptoms often improve in three weeks or less. If the symptoms and lab values are not improving within 30-45 days, consider natural hormone replacement such as Armour Thyroid or T3. Armour Thyroid contains 4.22 parts of T4 to 1 part of T3. It may take a year for a low basal temperature or TSH to come up. Do not worry too much about a temperature that is slightly low if symptoms are absent. Hormone replacement must be managed carefully and levels must be tested often because excess thyroid hormone can cause osteoporosis and other problems.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Chile Cookies

2011-12-12T10:46:00.000-06:00

Ingredients

Makes 32

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chile powder (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down side of bowl.

Add eggs and beat to combine.

With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat until combined.

In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and chile powder (if using).

Using heaping tablespoons, form balls of dough and roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Place, about 3 inches apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets.

Bake until cookies are set in center and begin to crack, about 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets on wire racks 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. (Store in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)

Hints: I bake my cookies one sheet at a time. I have three AirBake cookie sheets. The secret is to use parchment paper, new paper for each sheet, each time. Also, allow the cookie sheets to cool before using again so your cookies come out consistently in texture.

Christmas Version – Use cinnamon, clove and nutmeg instead of chile powder!

God-Given Intuition: Yes, It Still Exists!

2011-12-01T21:21:00.001-06:00

Where do I begin? Every day I talk with people searching for an end to an illness or health condition that has plagued them for awhile. Others come to me trying to find what is wrong with their health after countless trips to the doctors and hearing the same answer time after time, "we can't seem to find what's wrong with you or it's all in your head." After awhile a patient starts to feel like no one is listening or taking the time to listen and find the problem, so a solution can be found to help them.

Some of you may remember and some of you won't remember the days when small town doctors would make house calls. No blood tests, no big machines poking, prodding, taking pictures of your insides to find out what your problem is. In those days, the doctors used something that God gave them to use and to use it to heal. It's called 'Intuition'. Intuition is defined as pure, untaught, noninferential knowledge, an inner insight that only comes from LISTENING! That's right listening.

Most of my work day consist of this very act of listening. I listen to every single one of you. I listen how you describe your pain, your hurts, your sounds, your description of your overall health. I listen to your concerns and how you want to be well and not live your life with an illness that could be long term or terminal. I listen to your fears, your frustrations, your anger, your sadness and the list never ends. For some reason, God has called me to listen and to specifically listen to you.

For example, I had a conversation with a very good client of mine. She was battling a condition in which the doctors could not help her with. After many conversations and my endless questions, a light bulb went off in her head. Not sure what it was, but it was something I had said to her about how she was feeling and how her body was reacting. After much talk, I asked her to go back to the doctor and without taking 'no' for answer, get a blood test that I suggested to her get it quick. She did what I suggested and the doctor did the blood test. When the results came back, the condition in which her doctors failed to find was now known to her doctor because of the conversations we have had to find the answer. She is now on the road to recovery because of listening to her concerns and using common intuition that the Lord gave all of us. The Bible clearly states, "Ask and it shall be given, Seek and you shall find, Knock and it shall be opened". God's Word doesn't return void, it is sent out to do the very thing in which He sent it to do.

That's just one of the thousands of stories that I could tell you about taking the time to listen and the answer in which one is seeking will end up finding. It just takes time.

What about you? Has someone taken the time to listen to you to find out how to help you overcome your health condition?

I will take the time to listen to you. If you would like to speak with me by phone, please call 1-800-620-9975 and set up an appointment. God bless you and yes, tomorrow will be a better day.

Blessings,

Maqui Superberry: The Healing Berry

2011-11-25T11:49:00.001-06:00

1. Dark red, blue, and purple fruits and berries have always been considered to be especially healthy. Why are deeply pigmented fruits so good for us?

They contain antioxidants called ANTHOCYANINS and POLYPHENOLS. These types of antioxidants help to reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility. Can help reduce allergic reactions. Boost immune function and cardiovascular health as well as slow down the signs of aging by protecting cells from oxidative damage.

2. Let’s talk about anti-oxidants. Why are antioxidant foods so important to maintaining good health?

As we age, our cells continue to be affected by free radicals; our organs begin to degenerate and aging accelerates. The body has built-in defense mechanisms to protect itself from free radical damage, but eventually, aging depletes the body’s ability to keep oxidants at bay.

Antioxidants are health-giving molecules found in abundance in many fruits and vegetables. Throughout the ages, cultures from around the world have been consuming deep colored berries as they have been recognized as sources of longevity and healthy living. Emerging science suggests that unstable molecules called free radicals the enemies to our health may be linked to many health imbalances, and is a leading cause of aging and poor health.

3. Let’s review the relative antioxidant levels of a few popular fruits: Apples; Grapes; Blueberries; Raspberries; and Blackberries.

Maqui Superberry liquid supplement contains a very high ORAC value. Independent lab test conducted at Brunswick showed the following result.

· Maqui Superberry 4,396/oz
· Pomegranate 993/oz - Maqui is 8X Higher
· Noni 532/oz - Maqui is 8X Higher
· Goji 100 489/oz - Maqui is 9X Higher
· Acai 393/oz - Maqui is 11X Higher
· Mangosteen 132/oz - Maqui is 33X Higher
As you can see, this is why Maqui is called a Superberry.

4. There is a group of deeply-colored berries which have been dubbed “superberries”. What are superberries and where are they grown?

Superberries are high in compounds called anthocyanins, which are antioxidant polyphenols. The reason they deliver these compounds is because they are deeply purple, blue and red, and anthocyanins are responsible for their color. Berries also tend to be extremely high in vitamin C, often more so than oranges. The fiber they contain, pectin, is particularly beneficial for digestive health, and some berries contain enough fiber to make a very significant contribution to daily intake.

Most of the superberries are grown in South America. This is due to the high solar sunshine and cold nights. This climate helps to create strong flavors in the berries and create the highest levels of antioxidants.

5. The deep purple Maqui berry has been “recently discovered” by Westerners, although it’s been consumed by the natives of Chile for hundreds of years. Tell us about the berry and its history.

Maqui berry has been traditionally used by the Mapuche Indians for a variety of ailments such as sore throat, diarrhea, ulcers, fever, diabetes, tumors and other ailments. Recently, our researchers from University of Chile had found Maqui to support healthy inflammatory support and is a natural COX-2 inhibitor.

The Mapuche are the only culture never to be defeated by an outside foe. They defeated the Spaniards for 300 years and the Spaniards also testified that it was the drinking of Maqui seven times a day by the Mapuche that must have given them their endurance and strength.

6. Scientists and researchers are taking a good look at the Maqui because of its tremendously high antioxidant content, higher than any other in the world. What are the researchers discovering that the berry or its extract can do for our health?

While I was in Chile, I had the opportunity to interview Dr Juan Hancke, the chief research scientist from University of Chile, who is also the head scientist for CTI Consortium, a non-profit organization that has recently obtained a $5 million grant from the World Health Organization to conduct additional research on Maqui berry.

Remember when Vioxx was taken off the market due to side effects? Vioxx was a chemically-made COX-2 inhibitor. Nature has provided us with many natural COX-2 inhibitors and Maqui is the strongest one. Inhibiting COX-2 means you will have reduced pain making it a great addition for those with arthritis. When you provide antioxidant protection to your joints, you will reduce cartilage damage caused by aging. Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Also, by reducing COX-2 enzymes in the body, you reduce your risk for cancer. Many researchers are looking at the link between using COX-2 inhibitors in cancer treatment. Some researchers have found that it increases the longevity of a cancer patient’s life by 50%!

Maqui berry had been traditionally used by the Mapuche Indians to treat cancer & ulcer. Dr Juan Hancke & his scientific team from University of Chile conducted cancer research with maqui berry concentrate on CACO2 (human colon cancer cells) to verify its anti-cancer activity. Dr Hancke’s team showed that Maqui berry is the most effective at eliminating 100% of human colon cancer cells. Researchers are very encouraged by the findings as compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are most likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies.

7. What does the Maqui berry and its juice taste like, and how can listeners taste it for themselves?

Maqui berry is the best tasting berry I have ever eaten or drank. The taste isn’t sugary sweet or sticky like grape juice. It taste better than Acai which you’ll find on the market that it’s always mixed with other juices because it doesn’t taste all that great by itself. I mix it in water or even my yogurt for lunch. It’s great for adults and children!

Want Better Health? Then You Have to Take Step One

2011-11-09T11:01:00.000-06:00

Every day while heading to the office, I pray the same prayer. “Lord, let me be a blessing to someone today.” In all honesty, that’s means what can I do to help someone with their health. Every day the Lord answers that prayer. He sends me people who have felt they are at the end of their rope and want to feel better or overcome an illness.

Lately, I’ve been studying the subject of faith. I know what faith is, but knowing what it is, is not the same as actually using it. Let me explain. I ask people all the time, do you have faith? Many say yes, but we can all say yes because it’s easy and it doesn’t require us to do anything. I should ask you, do you use your faith? Now, the ball is in your court and you have to do something with it.

In the area of health, many people live in fear. They fear the doctors will hurt them, or they magnify a small pain and think they are dying and the list goes on. Does that sound like you?

Let me get to the point here as this really isn’t a Bible lesson. I ask the Lord to let me be a blessing each day. For that to happen, two things must occur. One, a person reaches out by faith to contact me for me to help them. Second, I have to be willing to help them. The latter is a no brainer, because that’s what I’m here for is to help people become overcomers and more than conquerors.

Want better health? Then take step one and call me. Remember, faith without works is dead. For your faith to work you have to move first. Pick up the phone and call me. I have phone consultations available where we can talk one-on-one. Your health is important to you and it’s important to me. There is no reason why you should be dealing with your health issues as there is an answer for everything. If you have feelings of confusion, don’t know which way to go, then again call me and let me help you.

Take a step of faith today by calling 1-800-620-9975. A new healthy beginning is waiting for you.

Take Your Omega 3s!

2011-11-08T11:24:00.000-06:00

Watch my friend and colleague Stuart Tomc explain Nordic Natural's Omega 3s. .

There is more scientific evidence behind the cardiovascular benefits of fish oil than any other nutritional supplement. Thousands of clinical studies have shown that increased intake of EPA and DHA—the omega-3 essential fatty acids in fish oil—enhance overall cardiovascular function.*

The research-backed benefits of fish oil include:

Supports circulation and healthy blood vessel function*
Promotes the metabolism of dietary fat and cholesterol*
Supports a healthy heart rhythm*
Promotes healthy triglyceride levels in healthy individuals*
Supports the body’s naturals anti-inflammatory response*
Is natural and safe for long-term use

A large and growing body of scientific evidence indicates that fish oil benefits mental health and brain function in all stages of life. EPA and DHA, the omega-3 essential fatty acids in fish oil, are particularly concentrated in the brain and nervous system, where they provide necessary building blocks for healthy cells and tissue.*

The research-backed benefits of fish oil include:

Supports healthy brain function*
Promotes positive mood and well-being*
Supports memory and learning ability*
Supports focus and attention*
May help slow the progression of age-related memory loss*
Protects nerve and brain cells from oxidative stress and damage*
Is natural and safe for long-term use

The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 essential fatty acids that a person consumes directly impacts the health of their immune and inflammatory response. The ratio of fatty acids within their cell membranes directly influences whether the immune response synthesizes proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory molecules. When the immune system is triggered—for example by injury, allergy, or infection—fatty acids are released from the cell membranes. These fatty acids are converted into molecules as part of the body’s natural healing response. EPA and DHA, the omega-3 essential fatty acids in fish oil, support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response because they are converted into anti-inflammatory molecules. A large body of scientific evidence indicates that fish oil helps to naturally regulate the immune response and support the internal repair systems that operate in response to inflammation.*

The research-backed benefits of fish oil include:

Promotes a healthy immune response*
Helps reduce the synthesis of proinflammatory molecules*
Supports the production of natural anti-inflammatory molecules*
Supports internal repair systems that operate in response to inflammation*
Is natural and safe for long-term use

Q & A - How to Achieve Better Health

2011-11-01T13:35:00.001-05:00

Q: What Does it Take to Achieve Better Health?

A: So many people are looking for the quick fix and there isn’t one. We must be honest with ourselves. If you have neglected your body, mind and your soul, then it’s not going to be strong and vibrant the way it should be. We were given free will which means we can make good decisions or bad ones. Better health is up to each individual and you have to have the ‘want to’ to achieve it. The old saying is “Rome wasn’t built in a day” applies to anything we want to achieve. You have to crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run.

Q: So Where Does One Start?

A: Your diet. I get so many calls every day from people wanting to feel better and stronger. You can hear the disappointment in their voices when I bring up diet. When I work with each client, the biggest problem I have is getting the truth out of people about their diet. They talk to me to impress me instead of telling me the truth so I can help them. I don’t get it, I don’t need to be impressed. What impresses me the most is when I talk to those who are eating right? It’s actually rare now days. The simple answer is start with your diet!

Q: Let's Discuss Breakfast.

A: I suggest for people to put away the coffee, donuts, quick fixes before heading out the door. You need to know how you feel all day and what you expect from your body and mind. I’ll use myself as an example. I’m high strung because I want to get things done. I take Vitamin B3 in the form of Niacinamide because it is very calming to the mind. I will take B3 in the form of Niacin sometimes. I do this form because if you wake up on the wrong side of bed, I find it to be a very quick attitude adjustment. It promotes the feeling of happiness.

Start your day with a whey protein drink. The body will take protein and break it down into the individual amino acids, which will then be converted into brain neurotransmitters. If you start your day off with sugar, you will be angry, irritable and depressed all day. You will cause your body to betray you the moment you walk out the door. Whey protein feeds the brain, the immune system, the whole body. I use almond milk or water. I don’t do regular dairy as it can slow you down. It’s a whole other subject.

Q: How Important is Water?

A: Do you know how many people don’t like water? They are polluted inside. We have to drink water throughout the whole day. It cleanses and flushes the body. We are made up of 60-70% water, so we have to drink it. I laugh when people tell me they don’t like the taste of water. Really?! Water doesn’t have a taste the last time I checked. Sodas ruin your body. Fruits juices are too high in sugar. Tea is fine. I like coconut water for it’s high potassium which will have a nice diuretic effect to the body. Very good for women who retain water, which is caused by the monthly cycles or eating too much salt.

Q: Tell me about Lunch?

A: Lunch should be your biggest meal of the day. The reason is because we’ll have time to burn it off the rest of the day. This doesn’t mean you eat junk or a big piece of cake and then head back to the office. Eat healthy! I don’t understand why we have to keep beating a dead horse. People know they don’t eat right and there are those who know they are eating right. Eating badly is simply being lazy.

Q: Do you believe in a mid-day snack?

A: Yes, I do. I can have times of low blood sugar, so yes I’ll have a mid-afternoon snack. The choice is as important as breakfast, lunch or dinner. I will eat a cup of non-fat Greek Yogurt from Voskos. They have a new one called YoGreek, which has a side of granola, a handful only. Yes, you can gain weight eating too much granola. I like the Voskos because it gives me protein and a complex carb, so my energy level and blood sugar levels stay normal and I can keep moving towards the evening.

Q: And what are your views about dinner?

A: Keep it light and keep it simple. One protein and one vegetable is the best rule of thumb. Don’t over indulge as dinner can be the worst weight gain meal of the day. I understand social functions and such. If you are going out to celebrate or with friends you can still enjoy the fellowship without expanding your waistline. I’m not going to pass up my own birthday cake and Thanksgiving is the day to enjoy, so eat up! I do such that when you do have dinner, make sure you don’t do to bed for at least three hours to give your body time to digest properly and if you have any mild activity in the evening such as an evening walk, you can burn that meal off too.

A Very Candid Q & A with Dr. Ward Bond

2011-10-31T19:47:00.002-05:00

Q: What lead you into the natural health care field?

A: One day many years ago, I became severely dehydrated and really never knew why. I don't go to the doctor because they aren't smart enough to figure out what is wrong with you in less than ten minutes. But my wife forced me to go to the emergency room. There, they hooked me up to an IV of sugar. The doctor said I was in severe low blood sugar. Really? If that was the case why hook up to a bag of sugar? When I left and went home, it was time to take charge of my own health and as the story goes, one thing led to another.

Q: What differences do you see between how natural health views a condition versus how medical science views a condition?

A: That's an easy question. Medical science only looks at the symptoms, not necessarily the cause. So much money is made from treating symptoms. Take high blood pressure for example. How many people do you know where medication cured their condition and they no longer take the medicine? Natural health looks at the possible cause and then addresses it. The goal is to help a person get better and stay better. Medical science has lost its way a long time ago. Hospital budgets are so big, they have to keep you sick to pay the bills. Doctors own insurance premiums force them to work seven days a week and become weak in the process.

Q: What is your favorite part of the body that interests you the most?

A: The brain. We have a physical body part where there is something almost mystic about it. We have memories, but we can't see them under a microscope or with a MRI. When studying the brain, it relates to everything the nervous system does. I have a very successful multiple sclerosis protocol. The nutrients in the protocol help slow down the condition and the same nutrients can help reverse it.

Q: Do you believe all conditions can be healed using natural means?

A: All of them except genetic defects, but I believe they can be shown improvement through natural means. There are still some things that only the Lord can heal. I've seen many different conditions in which medical doctors didn't try to help or just scratched their heads and gave up. And then the use of natural health remedies and therapies brought healing, strength and new life to a human being. I have stories so profound I can't even share them because no one would believe me. I've seen teenagers with curvature of the spine and couldn't do the things their friends are doing and now they are. I have clients where the doctor's therapies didn't work and I suggested some simple things to do and now those same doctors are trying to figure out how they got better. Healing is not a science, it's an art. I've said this time and time again. Jesus preached a simple gospel and He healed people everyday (and still does). The human body is as simple as the gospel. Why make something simple complicated? All it does is hurt the patient and make doctors look more incompetent.

Q: Can cancer be cured?

A: Can it be cured? It already has been cured. I talk to people all the time who beat cancer. The subject of cancer is scary to many and it takes the utmost dedication and focus to overcome it. One just doesn't treat the body, but one has to treat the mind and the soul too. We have God-given remedies and nutrients and the reason we don't get to experience more cures is there is no money in curing people of cancer. It makes a ton of money. It makes me so angry that cancer hospitals send out press releases on new breakthroughs and that's where it ends. They go right back pumping chemo and shooting radiation. I got a few stories on this subject, but I don't need to get sued for slander at the moment. As Jack Nicholson once said, “You couldn't handle the truth.”

Q: Do you have a favorite herb?

A: That's a tough one. I like herbs that have multiple uses. All herbs do, but as a favorite, I'll have to say Chaga at the moment. I like Chaga because it promotes energy, but an energy that makes you get up and do something. It's very motivational and not overstimulating. I love the study of aging and Chaga has the highest levels of SOD, an antioxidant linked to protecting our DNA. This herb could hold the promise of the 120 years we're promised in the Bible.

Q: Do you have any famous clients you can tell us about?

A: I don't release names of any of my clients regardless if they are famous or not. All I can say is regardless what your status is, we all need help with our health.

Q: Do you have any hobbies?

A: My only hobby is I'm a workaholic. I do like filmmaking because of the level of creativity never ends. I'm a huge Formula 1 racing fan, so go Ferrari! I have to DVR all the races so I can watch them. I love riding motorcycles, but got too busy to ride so I sold my bike, but I'll have another one someday and it'll be Italian!

Q: Is there anything you see in people that truly bothers you?

A: Yes, and it's not disease, it's the lack of vision people have today. Too many people just want to get by and not strive to accomplish more. When people come to me to get better, my goal is to help them get better so they can accomplish their dreams. My pastor tells us all the time, we are victors and not victims. Too many are becoming victims and wearing it as a badge of honor. I talk with people like this weekly and they never seem to get 'it'. Living a life with no vision is a disease that needs to be wiped out. Living with no vision is like chaining yourself to your couch and liking it. I know people, businesses, and ministries that lack vision. After talking with them, my soul just groans in pain. They like the status quo. I don't! We are created to make a difference in this world, not for ourselves, but for mankind. I want my gifts, talents and abilities to bring glory to my God. I want to look back on my life and know I couldn't have done any more.

Q: What has having your own television show done for you?

A: Oh, this question could take all day to answer. The short version is, it's created more work. It's not glamorous in any way. People only see what's on TV, not what happens to how to get it there. It's the most stressful part of my life. I wouldn't change it though. Television gives me so much creative power, but remember I said I was a workaholic and a Type A personality at that. There is so much to accomplish and achieve in television. It's a tough business and it's not cheap. I love my viewers who watch my shows and I talk with them every day. This allows me to know if we are reaching people correctly. The only thing that would make this part of my life less stressful is more funding, but that's the very thing I hear from everyone in TV. What we do is expensive and the viewers get the benefit for free. I'm not complaining, or maybe I am (smiling). In television, the more money there is, the more you can do and the more people you can reach. Calling all donors!

Q: What is the one thing you wish for people to do about their health?

A: In the past, our parents told us to eat our fruits and vegetables. It's still true today. The new generation doesn't have parents to tell them. What do they say now? Pick the healthiest drive-thru? Again, simple education is being replaced with other issues. In the end, the most important thing everyone will fight for will be good health. It will be my job and my mission to do what I can help people be healthy and stay healthy. We all have a life to live and we should live with the utmost vitality and vision.

SUMA - The Answer for Sickle Cell Anemia?

2011-10-03T14:55:00.000-05:00

Back in 1995, another U.S. patent was filed which detailed some beneficial effects of suma root against sickle-cell anemia. In a double blind placebo human study, they reported that 15 patients taking suma root for three months (1000 mg three times daily) increased hemoglobin levels, inhibited red blood cell sickling and, generally, improved their physical condition by reducing side effects during the treatment. These results were statistically higher than the 15 other patients on placebo. Unfortunately, once treatment was discontinued, symptoms and blood parameters returned to their pretreated state within 3-6 months. It was reported, however, that several patients in the study remained on the suma supplement for three years or longer. They reportedly maintained consistent improvement and a higher quality of life with no side effects. Other U.S. researchers (in 2000) studied suma root's actual mechanism of action in its ability to resickle blood cells and reported their findings-which again confirmed an antisickling effect and a rehydration effect of sickled cells (in vitro).

Achieving Nutritional Happiness

2011-09-26T10:00:00.002-05:00

Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning and you stay on the wrong side for the rest of the day? Ever have a mild bout of depression and you can’t place your finger as to the reason why? One of the most overlooked areas of health is nutrition. Many health conditions today are not caused by a lack of medication, but a lack of nutrients our bodies need daily. Let’s take a look at two of them.

What I’m focusing on is your mental state. When you feel good mentally, the rest of your body falls into line. Every one of us needs to take a multiple vitamin daily. One with lots of B vitamins. These are needed to convert proteins, fats and carbohydrates into energy. B vitamins are also needed for a healthy nervous system which includes your brain of course. There are two particular B vitamins I want you to focus on, Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) and Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide/Niacin). If you are dealing with lots of stress and fatigue, you need extra Vitamin B5. This nutrient improves adrenal gland health, since B5 is known as the anti-stress vitamin and helps one to overcome stress and other serious mental problems like anxiety and depression to ensure fitness of mind. It does so by regulating the hormones responsible for giving birth to these mental states. B5 is also a fatigue-fighter by helping to reduce body fatigue and weariness and putting the functioning of body parts on right track. This means that this vitamin is capable of building the stamina of human body to perform well in various tasks. The dose of Vitamin B5 should be 500-1,000mg daily in a single or divided doses. One thing to remember, B5 can speed up the function of the digestive tract, so be aware as B5 in high doses can lead to quick trip to the restroom and in many cases that’s a good thing. A clean colon will also help one feel happier.

The second nutrient is Vitamin B3, a nutrient that is commonly overlooked for mental health. Niacinamide is believed to delay the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. It helps by reducing inflammation inside the brain and by strengthening the immune system. Previous experiments have proved that regular supplementation of niacinamide would greatly benefit those suffering from Parkinson's disease especially when given at the early stages of the disease before dopamine starts to be depleted.

Researchers found that niacinamide reduces the level of the protein called phosphorylated tau in people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. High levels of this substance leads to the development of lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease.

The symptoms of niacinamide deficiency is very similar to the symptoms of anxiety and depression - hyperactivity, fatigue, apprehension, headache and insomnia. Once niacinamide deficiency has been corrected, any symptom of anxiety and depression that a patient is suffering from will have been addressed as well.

Niacinamide is also known to enhance insulin production and protects insulin sensitivity and secretion by helping in cell function and metabolism. Previous laboratory experiments have also demonstrated that it prevents the early onset of Type 1 diabetes. I want to make a special note here, if your blood sugar is constantly low, you will have signs of depression, fatigue, irritability and even anger. Keeping a watchful eye on your blood sugar will help you prevent mild mental health issues. Eat more protein and fiber to keep your blood sugar from spiking and then dropping, and of course stop eating refined sugar-laden products. Refined sugar and artificial sweeteners are death to the brain.

The dose of niacinamide should be 1,000-1,500mg daily to correct mild depressive mental states. Once one overcomes the niacinamide deficiency, a daily dose of 50-100mg should be enough to maintain a happier you.

Niacinamide can be found in various foods, including brewer’s yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, and cereal grains.

Remember, there is always an answer to your health problems. Always look at your nutrition first because it can be as simple as changing what you put into your mouth.

Blessings,

Ward W. Bond, Ph.D.

I truly believe when you see this interview, you will understand that all things are possible. I want to motivate you and to help you with your health concerns. Dodie Osteen's healing is proof that everyone can overcome any health issue.

So tune in on August 30, 2011 Tuesday 11am CST and get ready to Think Natural, because I'm Dr. Ward Bond and your health is my business. Each episode will be available on my website for the rest of my viewers to enjoy, so if don't live in Houston, so don't worry! I'll take care of you!

The Benefits of Monolaurin

2011-08-25T12:10:00.001-05:00

Monolaurin is a physiologic anti-microbial agent that protects the immune system from a range of infectious agents. A monoglycerol ester of the fatty acid lauric acid, it can be found in mammalian breast milk, amniotic fluid, and some foods, most notably coconut oil. It has been shown to protect newborns, whose immune systems are underdeveloped, from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and other respiratory tract viruses (1,2). As a dietary supplement, it has been used as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial agent.

Is Monolaurin safe?

Not only is Monolaurin included on the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list, but it may, by virture of its source of origin, be safer than many other food supplements that are designed to boost the immune system.

One of the safest substances known to man is breast milk. This is where the monoglyceride of lauric acid (Monolaurin) is found. When an infant is born, it is totally dependent on food factors in the mother’s milk for immune protection. In analyzing the composition of human breast milk, medical researchers found lauric acid monoglycerides in high concentrations, which is what led them to study Monolaurin as an anti-viral agent (4,5). Monolaurin is also found in coconut oil, butter, and heavy cream; only recently has it been isolated and purified. It is highly unusual in pharmacology to find chemicals that are toxic to lower forms of life (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) but non-toxic to man. Monolaurin’s lack of toxicity makes it most promising.

Which microorganisms are killed by Monolaurin?

While Monolaurin is most widely used as an anti-viral agent, it also has beneficial effects against pathogenic bacteria, yeasts and fungi; other fatty acids such as caprylic acid and sorbic acids are more effective against yeasts, but ineffective against viruses.

In a study performed at the CDC, which focused on Monolauin-tested strains of viruses, Monolaurin was able to solubulize the enveloped membrane of 14 human RNA and DNA viruses (3). These include influenza, RSV, Rubeola, Newcastle’s, Coronavirus, Herps Simplex types 1&2, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus. (Monolaurin has no effect on naked viruses, such as polio, encephalitis virus, coxsachie, or pox viruses.) Monolaurin works by disintegrating the lipid envelope coat of viruses. Data from these studies suggest that the loss of virus infectivity is associated with the solubilization of Monolaurin into the envelope. The virus absorbs the fatty acid for its own replication, but winds up destroying its own protective coat.

How can I protect myself during the cold and flu season?

20,000 people die each year from the flu, primarily the elderly and immunocompromised. Neuraminidase inhibitors (flu-specific antiviral drugs) such as Tamiflu, Relenza, Amantadine, and Rimantadine are important adjuncts but not a substitute for a vaccine. And aside from being expensive per-course of treatment, they can cause serious side effects. At best, these drugs will cut the illness by a day and a half. If they are started too late, they won’t work at all. Furthermore, there are influenza subtypes and strains that may be non-responsive to drug therapy.

There are some new monoclonal antibodies administered by injection that are excellent drugs, and a new inhaled mist that is available now. Drug developers look to the simple mechanism factor of Monolaurin in developing these newer powerful anti-viral drugs. In addition to the commonly known supplements, Vitamin C, Lactoferrin, and Echinacea, Monolaurin serves as a valuable nutritional adjunct for people who feel that they are coming down with a cold or flu. Many physicians have developed their own clinical protocols in their cold and flu prevention program and recommend taking several capsules of Monolaurin on an empty stomach.

Monolaurin is not the type of nutritional supplement one has to take on a daily basis, but only when the need arises. If one has a fever or swollen lymph gland, it is always best to see a physician, but if you sense the early warning signs of the flu, like sniffles, sore skin and perhaps a scratchy throat, Monolaurin may offer the first line of defense.

How do I know whether bacteria or a virus is causing an infection?

Pediatricians often practice the best medicine, performing a differential diagnostic to rule out viruses before prescribing Rx anti-biotics. They’ve seen too many recurrent ear infections and use antibiotics more judiciously. Most family practice doctors don’t perform a differential diagnosis or throat culture to see if the infection is bacterial or viral in origin, and simply prescribe an antibiotic, even though antibiotics will not work for viral infections. The patient is just happy to leave with the prescription in hand.

Unfortunately, this is why anti-biotic resistance, resulting from the over-use of prescription drugs, is one of the biggest problems facing the medical community today. Resistance is cumulative (and comes in part from antibiotics in our food supply). That’s why it’s important to consider starting with nutritional agents, such as Monolaurin, first.

Uncomplicated flu, while unpleasant, is not life threatening and doesn’t necessitate drug therapy. Nutritional physiologic agents may come first.

What is the role of Monolaurin and other nutrients against herpes?

Herpes is one of the most ubiquitous viruses, occurring in both oral and genital forms. It is also highly contagious and resistant to conventional pharmacology. Some physicians recommend taking 6 capsules when one has a flare up and 2 capsules as a maintenance dose during quiescent periods. Sometimes the herpes virus can be activated by Monolaurin and then killed, resulting in a Herxheimer-like reaction.

Similar protocols have been used with the Epstein-Barr virus (closely resembling the herpes virus), which may be responsible for Chronic Fatigue and even MS (16, 17). Some biotech companies are studying the use of a Monolaurin-based cream for genital herpes. The amino acid Lysine and the preservative BHT have also been studied in herpes with mixed results.

What is the best way to take Monolaurin?

For those who feel as if they are coming down with a viral infection, doctors often recommend taking six capsules on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, and for acute cases, six more at night. (If you have a sensitive stomach, it can be taken with food.) The dose can be tapered off as symptoms decrease. Some physicians recommend a maintenance dose of two capsules daily in the presence of high titers to the Epstein-Barr Virus, Herpes 1 & 2, or other chronic viral conditions. Of course, one should always seek the advice of a physician in cases of fever and/or pain, or if symptoms persist.

Why Do I Need a Brain Supplement?

Your brain is made up of many small cells, and controls everything you do. When your brain is not functioning properly, everything it controls is affected. To stay healthy your brain has a built-in protection system that contains a protein to regulate cellular calcium. Too much calcium in a brain cell will destroy the cell.

As we age, the body's ability to naturally produce this protective protein slows down. When this happens you begin to lose about 30,000 brain cells every day and may start to experience difficulty with memory, focus and concentration. Prevagen helps keep brain cells alive by supplementing the protective proteins your body stops producing.

What is Prevagen?

Prevagen is a first-of-its-kind brain health supplement and is the only product to contain the active ingredient “apoaequorin” - a proven brain cell protector. First discovered in jellyfish, aopaequorin is now produced in a scientifically controlled process. This protein is nearly identical to the protective proteins made in the brain. Unlike many supplements whose ingredients can be consumed through eating a balanced diet, apoaequorin can only be obtained by taking Prevagen.

What will Prevagen do for me?

Prevagen has been shown to improve memory and protect the brain by keeping brain cells alive longer.* The brain functions better as brain cells are protected and healthy, but keeping brains cells healthy does more than just improve your memory. You will be protecting the long-term health of your body, the benefits of which we hope you will cherish for years to come. When the brain is healthier, the whole body is healthier. It's just that simple.

How Does Prevagen Work?

Laboratory research has demonstrated Prevagen has potent cell protecting activity through its ability to bind calcium ions. University studies have shown a reduction in brain cell death of up to 50% when compared to non-Prevagen treated cells.*

Prevagen was developed by scientists and University researchers in Madison, WI and has been presented to the Society for Neuroscience.

Benefits of Using the Lion's Mane Mushroom

2011-08-22T09:43:00.000-05:00

Medicinal mushrooms have become a hot item in the mass media in the last few years but the information being brought forth about them is not always scientifically accurate. Most of the studies on the effects of medicinal mushrooms that are available to the public are based on animal studies or cultured cells. In these cases, the bioactivity of the mushroom extracts cannot always be correlated to their activity when ingested by humans.

I want to teach you about Lion’s Mane, the herb, not the hair that grows on the back of a lion’s head. Lion's Mane is type of mushroom that has been used traditionally in China and Japan for hundreds of years, and also known as bear's head or monkey's head. Commonly prescribed for stomach ailments and for cancer prevention, this mushroom was once reserved only for the palates of the royal families.

Recently a group of Japanese researchers have patented an extraction process which isolates a NGSF (Nerve Growth Stimulant Factor). They found a compound in Lion’s Mane which causes brain neurons to regrow, a feat of great significance in potentially helping senility, repairing neurological degradation, increasing intelligence and improving reflexes. Studies also confirm many of its traditional uses, supporting the digestive system, and acting as a tonic for the nervous system.

What I want to focus on is the Nerve Growth Factor found in Lion’s Mane. This would be vitally important for those with Alzheimer’s Disease and other problems of age-related dementia. Alzheimer’s is a disorder of aging in which individuals become agitated and uncomprehending, with profound loss of cognitive function. About 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 and as many as 5 out of 10 people over the age of 85 are affected. Alzheimer’s is characterized by the death of neurons in the forebrain, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex.

Most drugs on the market for Alzheimer’s only have a temporary effect and do not reverse the condition. One of the major new approaches to the study of treatments for Alzheimer’s disease concerns the search for agents that stimulate Nerve Growth Factor production in the brain. So what is Nerve Growth Factor? NGF is part of a family of proteins that play a role in the maintenance, survival and regeneration of neurons during adult life. Its absence in the adult brain of mice leads to a condition resembling Alzheimer’s Disease.

The herb Lion’s Mane was discovered to contain Heri-C-ones that stimulate NGF production. Researchers also found another compound in the herb called Eri-na-cines that also induce NGF production. A study was done in a rehabilitative hospital in the Gunma area in Japan, with 50 patients in an experimental group and 50 patients used as a control. All patients were elderly and suffered from cerebrovascular disease, degenerative orthopedic disease, Parkinson’s Disease, diabetic neuropathy, or spinal cord injury. Seven of the patients in the experimental group suffered from different types of dementia. The patients in this group received 5 grams of dried Lion’s Mane mushroom per day in the soup for a 6 month period. All patients were evaluated before and after the treatment period for their Functional Independence Measure, which is a measure of independence in physical capabilities such as eating, dressing, walking, etc. Aand in perceptual capacities of understanding, communication, memory and the list goes on.

The results of this study show that after six months of taking Lion’s Mane mushroom, six out of seven dementia patients demonstrated improvements in their memory and comprehension and all seven had improvements in the areas of feeding, dressing, and walking by themselves.

The focus of research on medicinal mushrooms until now has been primarily on their anticancer and immune enhancing properties. The findings from the studies described here today on Lion’s Mane suggest that this mushroom may be a potent inducer of brain tissue regeneration. I personally take Lion’s Mane every morning, because my grandmother died of Alzheimer’s and I want to do everything I can to help my brain function optimally when I get older.

Dr. Hirokazu Kawagishi of Shizoka University Japan, a recognized authority on Lion's Mane for the past 15 years, showed the mushroom to have the remarkable activity of stimulating the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). A lack of NGF is considered one of the major causes of Alzheimer's disease.

But I find interesting is that this herb may actually help those with diabetic neuropathy. Which could help reverse nerve damage. About those with spinal cord injuries, could this be a natural answer for some people who injured their spine and can’t walk. One thing I’m not saying here is those who had their spinal cords severed, will Lion’s Mane make them walk again? Hard to say, but it will be interesting to see what happens when more studies are done on this herb.

Paul Stamets, one of the world's leading mycologists and author of several reference works on medical mushrooms, puts it, "Lion's Mane mushroom is nature's nutrients for your neurons." The Chinese have known this benefit for thousands of years, as the ancient herbalists promised nerves of steel and the memory of a lion to the privileged few who were allowed to east this restricted delicacy.

The breakdown in healthy neurological function can be prevented by adding Lion's Mane mushroom to the diet. A national trend to add Lion's Mane to our daily supplemental requirements would go a long way to improve the quality and length of life. The fact that one food source is able to provide the body with the nutrients it needs to stimulate nerve cell regeneration, along with the immune-enhancing properties of beta glucans in healing the digestive tract of ulcers and cancers, is nothing short of remarkable.

There are other important uses of Lion's Mane's medical benefits. Such as a curative for problems of the digestive tract such as stomach and duodenal ulcers, as well as for cancers of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

Lion's Mane has also been shown to help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. It is completely safe, showing no signs of toxicity or side effects in any scientific research.

Lions Mane has the following benefits:

1. Polysaccharide, Adenosine and Oleanolic Acid can strengthen the immune system and enhance metabolism activities.
2. Coordinates the bodies digestive system
3. Defends the cardiovascular system by regulating blood pressure and increases the pumping of blood to the heart.
4. Regulates cholesterol levels.
5. Improves the respiratory system.
6. Acts as tonic to the nervous system.
7. Enhances growth of the nerves.
8. Prevents the growth of ulcers and tumors.
9. Prevents gastrointestinal diseases, gastritis and gastrohelocosis.
10. Aids in effective blood circulation.
11. Lowers the level of sugar and fat in the blood.
12. Increases the production of lymphocyte T and B cells.
13. Prevents dementia.
14. Slows down the aging process.

Diabetic Medications Can Lead to Nutritional Deficiencies

2011-08-18T12:03:00.000-05:00

This week I want to cover how diabetic medication can lead to serious nutritional deficiencies and how to correct them safely.

One thing I want to remain perfectly clear is NEVER stop taking diabetic medication. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist about your medication.

One of the most prescribed medications is Metformin for diabetes. It is used alone or with other medications, including insulin, to treat type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes. Metformin helps to control the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. It decreases the amount of glucose you absorb from your food and the amount of glucose made by your liver. But…

Many diabetics will end up with neuropathy, a condition consisting of nerve damage and poor blood circulation. Metformin can contribute to this condition because it depletes Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 which are vitally important for the nervous system as well as the cardiovascular system. Diabetics have an increased risk of heart disease, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 are the primary nutrients to fight against elevated homocysteine levels which predict the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes. An all natural multiple vitamin can help prevent this common deficiency.

Another nutrient depleted by Metformin is Co-enzyme Q10 which is needed for a healthy immune system and again to help prevent heart disease. A dose of 50-200mg of this vital nutrient is needed per day to correct the deficiency caused by this medication.

Natural remedies to help normalize blood sugar levels are DiaChol, a clinical researched form of cinnamom; Gymnema, an herb from India known as the sugar destroyer (great for types 1 and 2); Corisolic acid, a compound from Banaba leaf which can help normalize blood sugar levels and help a diabetic lose weight. These herbal compounds are safe to take along with diabetic medication and should be taken with meals.

For many of my diabetic readers, please continue to eat right and maintain normal glucose levels. By doing this, you reduce your risk for heart disease, neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy and kidney failure. Eat high quality protein, fruits and vegetables. Avoid artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose which can actually increase blood sugar levels. Stevia and Xylitol are the safest natural sweeteners for diabetics. Be blessed and be healthy! See you next time!

Radiation is a Major Cause of Cancer by Dr. Cass Ingram

2011-08-15T15:31:00.000-05:00

Radiation is a major cause of cancer. Artificial radiation from nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs is
far more poisonous than natural or back-ground types. This synthetic radiation interferes with all body processes. This is why it is so poisonous. This toxic radiation causes a reaction that is exceedingly dire. This is the breakdown of human tissue. Once the tissues are destroyed, cancer grows freely. Radiation directly destroys the immune system as well as the all-important bone marrow. Regarding the lymphatic system it degenerates it. Ultimately, it destroys both the red blood cells and white blood cells, causing both anemia and immune deficiency. Without these systems/cells intact cancer grows readily.

Mechanisms of man-made radiation: toxicity explained Radiation consists of highly potent energy waves. These waves produce great heat, that is they produce a burn. This burning action afflicts all tissues of the body. Radiation therefore can burn directly through human tissue. Thus, all protective mechanisms of the body are lost. Cancer and infections can rage through the body. Radiation also depletes nutrients. It rapidly oxidizes, that is destroys, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, and riboflavin. It also destroys vitamin A, zinc, and selenium. Perhaps even more significant is its effects on the body's key enzyme systems, glutathione peroxidase (GP) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These enzymes are the body's front line defense against radiation poisoning. The enzymes must deal with the toxicity and are rapidly used up. Once tissue levels of GP and SOD drop massively, disease and even death are inevitable. Thus, it is crucial to keep the levels of these crucial enzymes as high as possible. The toxicity of radiation is largely due to the production of free radicals. Gutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase block free radical formation. Unchecked, free radicals are like a raging fire within the cells and organs. The quenching or neutralization of the free radicals means the preservation of the organism. GP and SOD are the most potent means to do this. Thus, the levels must be aggressively raised—and maintained. This is the difference between survival or succumbing to radiation exposure.

This brings to mind a case history of which I was intimately involved. This was Chicagoan Dr. Solomon, a victim of the original Atomic bomb test sites. Formerly of the U.S. military, as he reported to me personally, Solomon was exposed, like thousands of other soldiers, to the "experimental" exposure of those initial atomic blasts. It was he alone who took protective action. Knowing the toxic effects of radiation on SOD levels, he drank raw liver juice, the richest food source of this enzyme, as an antidote. Along with other measures, including his later use of potent wild antioxidants, particularly Oreganol P73, Solomon survived to his mid-80s, while all his associates had long ago died, many of horrific diseases, especially bizarre cancers. Solomon's life wasn't easy, God rest his soul. However, through his extraordinary efforts he proved that
nature alone is protective against radiation's terminal effects.

Regarding cancer, there is no disease more dreaded. Thus, every effort conceivable must be made to block it. Cancers which commonly occur as a result of man-made radiation exposure include cancer of the breast, colon, throat, lungs, and bone, along with sarcoma (blood cancer), leukemia, and lymphoma. Furthermore, the most common cancer of all is thyroid cancer, the direct result of radioactive iodine, which is a fulminant contaminant of damaged nuclear reactors. Other diseases which are the inevitable result of radiation exposure include diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, pancreatitis, and immune deficiency. Anemia and bone marrow collapse are also inevitable consequences of significant exposure. The toxicity to the joints and muscles is due in part to the poisonous actions of radiation on the connective tissue, a toxicity which can in part be blocked by the vigorous intake of natural-source vitamin C as well as natural vitamin E and SOD.

Keep in mind, too, that man-made radiation has a most bizarre power. This is the capacity to vaporize human tissue. It did this in Chernobyl and also in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is because of the intense heat of the radioactive waves. When these waves are blocked, this toxicity is halted. Another mechanism is interference with cell chemistry. This relates to the main by-products of nuclear disasters, which are the noxious elements iodine-

Dr. Cass Ingram’s Healthy Letter
How to Block Radiation-Induced Cancer: the Power of Wild Natural Medicines 131, cesium-137, and strontium-90. These are fabrications, unknown in nature. The iodine-131 blocks real iodine, ultimately causing thyroid damage and in some cases thyroid cancer. Cesium-137 blocks potassium, causing potentially great damage to the heart, kidneys, muscles, and other tissues dependent upon this mineral. Strontium mimics calcium, causing damage to the bone and bone marrow. The body recognizes these false substances as real minerals and therefore concentrates them in these respective tissues.

Another noxious mechanism relates to the naturally occurring flora (bacteria, yeasts, and more) in the body. Just as it kills human cells, radiation rapidly destroys these. Yet, the overgrowth of potentially dangerous germs is the consequence, since these are too vigorous to be merely killed. Thus, it causes these germs to mutate in the body, while depleting the healthy bacteria. The mutated germs must be killed and the healthy ones replenished. The greatest dilemma is the mutation of yeasts, notably Candida albicans, a predominant survivor, into bizarre and dangerous forms. To kill these mutated germs wild oregano extracts, notably the oil of wild oregano, juice of wild oregano (P73 only), and the multiple spice extract (OregaRESP), are essential. To replenish the bacteria a plant-source multiple bacterial supplement is ideal (for instance, Ecologic 500, known as HealthBAC). Yet, the most potent substances of all are the wild oregano extracts, the P73, juice of oregano, multiple spice concentrate (OregaRESP), along with the wild chaga mushroom.

Key substances for treatment include wild chaga mushroom, the richest known source of SOD, wild spice oils, the most potent inducers of glutathione peroxidase, extracts of wild oregano to halt tumor production and destroy mutated germs, and various other wild complexes, including wild greens and berries concentrates.

15 Days Until the Debut of Dr. Bond's THINK NATURAL - ABC's Live Well Network Houston

2011-08-12T09:40:00.001-05:00

Yes, that's right. 17 more days until the debut of my new television show THINK NATURAL. Airing on ABC's Live Well Network beginning in the Houston, Texas market on August 30th, Tuesday 11am CST, we will be reaching out to over 4.5 million people in and around the Houston area. This program is designed to move people to 'Think Natural' and encompass everything we can provide for our body, mind and soul the natural way.

My first guest on the program is a woman who has inspired millions around the world with her message of healing. Thirty years ago, Dodie Osteen faced terminal liver cancer and given no hope. She was sent home to die as the doctors told her that she had weeks to live, not even a few months. Her husband, John Osteen told the doctors they believe in miracles, and the doctor replied, “You’re going to need one” and John replied with conviction in his voice, “We’re going to get one!” And get one they did.

Dr. Bond Starts His Day by Taking What?!

2011-08-10T09:25:00.000-05:00

I get phone calls daily about the supplements I take every day. Well, how about I tell you all my secrets today?

In the morning, we all want to be able to put our feet on the floor and immediately tackle the day. If you don't and you keep hitting the snooze button, then life will be a chore.

On my nightstand I have a bottle of Prevagen. This is a brain supplement which supplies your brain with a calcium-binding protein. This prevents 50% brain cell death on a daily basis. I take it on an empty stomach with water for maximum absorption. Since I exercise twice a day, morning and evening I want to make sure I have the 'want-to' to do it. With Prevagen giving me the brain power I need to multitask daily, I still want motivation to accomplish things that need to get done and things I want to get done. There's a difference in my last statement. Some days there are things we don't want to do, so instead of putting them off, we need a little push to do them. I take an herb called Chaga from North American Herb and Spice. This is for energy, immunity and longevity. There is something peculiar about this herb. It not only gives you energy, but it increases one's motivation. So if you have a hard time getting motivation, then Chaga is the answer and boy oh boy is it the answer! I take 2-4 capsules or a tablespoon in the morning. Now, I go exercise for 45 minutes. My exercise is power walking 3-5 miles in less than an hour. I have to go by myself because no one can keep up with me. It's also a great time to pray and spend time alone before the rest of the day is full of people. Get what I'm saying?

Once the exercise is done, then it's getting ready for work. My supplements are as follows for the rest of the morning.

Nutritional Living Thyroid Complete - 2-4 capsules to help with thyroid health
Calcium D-Glucarate - removes excess estrogen in the body we can receive from environmental factors
Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic - for healthy gastrointestinal health
Sweet Wheat and Chlorella - greens are important and both are highly concentrated with antioxidants
Nutritional Living Mega One 100 - natural iron-free multiple vitamin and mineral formula
My personal Super Healthy Whey Protein drink to wash it all down.

I keep it simple in the morning. At lunch, it all depends. Since I'm in the natural health field, I experiment a lot as many companies send me things to try or evaluate. I take another Super Healthy Whey protein drink for lunch.

In the afternoon, it's another round of Chaga. This is of course for exercise in the evening or unless I'm filming late in the day or at night.

In the evening, I take the Calcium D-Glucarate again. After each meal, I take the Sweet Wheat and Chlorella to help nullify anything in my food (but only if I'm eating out). My evening meal is mostly organic, but with my schedule and guests/clients in town, it's going to be a restaurant. So I have to choose wisely and protect my health with something green.

Then I do it all over again the next day. Pretty simple I say. Good health isn't complicated. The first move to good health is up to you. One foot on the floor at a time and move forward. Be blessed, you have a life to live!

Papa Steve's No Junk Protein Bar

2011-08-09T15:36:00.001-05:00

I opened the wrapper of one of Papa Steve's No Junk Protein Bars. and I was amazed. Wow, the aroma was so delightful, full of cinnamon, chocolate, and fruit. This health bar is very unique. No fillers, just pure organic local goodness. They combine some of the tastiest fruits of organic dates, apples, cranberries as well as adding in organic cinnamon, brown rice, almond butter and whey protein. Oh, can’t forget those tasty chocolate chips! The texture is perfect. It’s soft, but has a great crunch to it. Doesn’t taste like grazing out in the pasture, and you know what I’m talking about. This bar is the one I want in my backpack or tucked inside my film equipment when outside on location and needing something to keep me going during those long days in front of a camera.

What comes to my mind is this is perfect for those who are picky about protein bars. I’m one of the pickiest. I usually can’t find a protein bar to meet my needs. Either too much fat, too much soy, too much fiber (yes, too much fiber. Ever try to travel with high fiber bar and all you can think about is where the restroom is?) I love the fact they are gluten-free and soy free! You can’t ask for anything better!

I find Papa Steve’s No Junk Protein Bar is the perfect addition to anyone’s fast paced lifestyle. So the next time you are looking for a pure healthy protein bar, ask yourself, who’s your daddy? It’s Papa Steve! Go check them out at www.papasteves.com

YES, I Have an Identical Twin Brother!

2011-08-09T09:28:00.001-05:00

Many of you who watch my television program "Dr. Ward Bond's Nutritional Living" have seen a commercial spot about HairActiv and Inosiplex. At the end of the commercial you see my brother turn around to surprise many that what you thought was female was male. But what's so funny, is many of you think it's me in a wig. No, it's my brother Donald Bond and that hair of his is REAL!

We are identical twin brothers and many people could never tell us apart. But once he grew his rock star hair, then people knew which was which. You have also seen my brother in some of my cooking segments of the show as he loves to cook and even had one of his recent recipes featured in the Los Angeles Times. No he's not a chef, but someone who is very creative in the kitchen. He even holds breakfast block parties in his neighborhood and invites neighbors from all over. Ever had a shrimp omelet? He makes the best! He even grilled shark meat the other day. Where in the world do you buy shark meat?

Anyway, this is a rare photo as we are never photographed together since are both very busy. But I'll have him back on my show in the future.

For those of you who live in Houston, remember my new show "Dr. Bond's Think Natural" is coming to ABC's Live Well Network with my debut guest Dodie Osteen (Joel's mother) who was healed of terminal liver cancer. She will be sharing her incredible story of faith and healing. It was an incredible experience to interview her and I know all of you in Houston will be blessed as well.

If you need any help with your health, please contact us at 1-800-620-9975. Have a blessed and healthy day!

Senior Nutrition - Voskos

2011-08-03T11:23:00.000-05:00

Senior Nutrition - Voskos by Ward W. Bond, Ph.D.

In my practice, most of my clientele are over the age of 65 with many health issues ranging from arthritis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Many do not exercise and have poor eating habits. Today’s societies overlook our growing senior population and believe that when one retires, it’s just relaxing and basking in achievements of one’s past experiences. In reality, our senior population has a serious problem with malnutrition.

Social factors that affect malnutrition include, living alone, financial concerns, and restrictive diets. Living alone, especially for men, results in the decreased intake of food. Elders experiencing financial concerns, such as poverty or low-income, may not be able to buy a sufficient amount of food. Many times choices need to be made between buying food and paying for other necessities such as medications, heat, rent, etc (Visvanathan & Chapman, 2009).

When I talk with my senior clients about nutrition, I ask them what do they eat on a daily basis? What they tell me isn’t unusual. They eat the normal American diet of processed food, barely including fruits, vegetables and quality protein.

With seniors, many know how to cook and prepare food, but when you’re the only one in the house or in poor health, why cook? I understand my clients and their needs, so I don’t push them to go cook a meal, but work with them to make sure all of their nutritional needs will be met within their budget. All of us health experts know that when one goes to the grocery store, life is found on the outer aisles of the store. Produce, meats, dairy and whole grain bread are life-giving foods. Death lives within the aisles of the store, where all of the prepackaged, processed foods are located. So what do I tell them? There are many ways to get the nutrition you need without breaking the bank and can be prepared in a short time.

Let’s look at a few ways to get three healthy meals that will provide improved health for our seniors. These examples are more for those seniors who are not active or home-bound.

Breakfast:
Whey protein shake with fruit (blueberries).
182 calories; 22 grams of protein; 1 grams of fat; 10 grams of carbs; 4 grams of fiber

Or Voskos Nonfat Greek Yogurt with an whole grain English muffin with strawberry jam.
280 calories; 20 grams of protein; 1 grams of fat; 40 grams of carbs; 1 gram of fiber

Or Voskos’ YoGreek Yogurt with Granola
140 calories; 11 grams of protein; ½ gram of fat; 22 grams of carbs; 1 gram of fiber
Healthy grains from multi-grain cereals, toast or muffins can be added as well. Healthy fats such as flaxseed oil are also recommended for balanced breakfast.

Lunch:
Caesar Salad with Romaine lettuce (1 cup).
170 calories; 6 grams of protein; 14 grams of fat; 6 grams of carbs; 2 grams of fiber

Turkey / Cheese Sandwich
235 Calories; 25 grams of protein; 4 grams of fat; 25 grams of carbs; 4 grams of fiber

Add Voskos Nonfat Greek Yogurt (Strawberry) for dessert
120 Calories; 13 grams of protein; 0 grams of fat; 16 grams of carbs; 0 grams of fiber.

Dinner:
(Example of a whole Dinner)
Pan Roasted Chicken
223 calories; 31 grams of protein; 10 grams of fat; 1 gram of carb; 0 g fiber

Small Dinner Salad with Balsamic Oil and Vinegar Dressing
Salad – 1 cup. 50 calories; 3 grams of protein; 3 grams of carbs; 2 grams of fiber
Dressing – Per tablespoon. 90 calories; 1 g carbohydrates; 10 g fat

1 cup of Steamed Broccoli
54 calories; 4 grams of protein; 8 grams of carbs; 5 grams of fiber

For Dessert – Voskos Nonfat Greek Yogurt (Honey)
130 calories; 13 grams of protein; 18 grams of carbs; 0 grams of fiber

The examples above are just examples. Daily calorie intake should be 1,500-2,000 calories for seniors who are not active and home bound. If exercise is part of one’s daily routine, the calorie intake will of course increase.

One last note. We should all respect our senior population for their wisdom, insight and past experiences. Help a senior today so both you will have a better tomorrow.

BEWARE! Pesticides in Our Food!

2011-08-01T09:27:00.000-05:00

I’ve covered different areas of our food, mainly fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and spices. I’ve given you a lot of information about the healing properties of these foods. I’m going to let you know about eating the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables will expose a person to about 15 pesticides per day, on average.

Most Contaminated:

THE DIRTY DOZEN

Consistent with two previous EWG investigations, fruits topped the list of the consistently most contaminated fruits and vegetables, with seven of the 12 most contaminated foods. Among the top six were four fruits, with peaches leading the list, then apples, nectarines and strawberries. Cherries, pears, and imported grapes were the other three fruits in the top 12.

Among these seven fruits:

Nectarines had the highest percentage of samples test positive for pesticides (97.3 percent), followed by peaches (96.6 percent) and apples (92.1 percent).
Peaches had the highest likelihood of multiple pesticides on a single sample — 86.6 percent had two or more pesticide residues — followed by nectarines (85.3 percent) and apples (78.9 percent).
Sweet bell peppers had the most pesticides detected on a single sample with eleven pesticides on a single sample, followed by peaches and apples, where nine pesticides were found on a single sample.
Peaches had the most pesticides overall with some combination of up to 42 pesticides found on the samples tested, followed by apples with 37 pesticides strawberries with 35.

Sweet bell peppers, celery, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes are the vegetables most likely to expose consumers to pesticides. Among these five vegetables:
Celery had the highest of percentage of samples test positive for pesticides (94.1 percent), followed by sweet bell peppers (81.5 percent) and potatoes (81.0 percent).

Celery also had the highest likelihood of multiple pesticides on a single vegetable (79.8 percent of samples), followed by sweet bell peppers (62.2 percent) and lettuce (33 percent).
Sweet bell peppers was the vegetable with the most pesticides detected on a single sample (11 found on one sample), followed by celery and lettuce (both with nine).
Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most pesticides overall with 64, followed by lettuce at 49 and celery with 30.

There is a little secret that one must know about pesticides in our food supply. Many pesticides made in the U.S. are not allowed to be sprayed on our food. These are sold to countries overseas whom spray their crops with banned U.S. pesticides which are imported back to the us to eat. Go figure that one out! Be blessed and Be healthy!
