Low vitamin D levels can alter your gene expression

Mon. Apr.1, 2013 by Blanche Levine

Antibiotic News(NaturalHealth365) Low vitamin D levels can be the most damaging influence on our genetic health, according to professor George Ebers, Action Medical Research professor of Clinical Neurology and one of the senior authors of published scientific research.

What are the capabilities of vitamin D?

Researchers, at the University of Oxford, have shown the extent in which vitamin D interacts with our DNA. The researchers found 2,776 binding sites from the vitamin D receptor along the length of the genome. These are the ones unusually concentrated near a number of genes associated with autoimmune conditions such as MS, Crohn’s disease, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and cancers such as, lymphocytic leukemia and colorectal cancer.

Inflammation controls our lives. Have you or a loved one dealt with pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, or cancer?

If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammation.

Sadly, most of us are suffering from one or more of these disorders but have no idea how to eliminate inflammation. Most doctors are utilizing pharmaceuticals in lieu of getting to the root cause.

It often seems extremely foreign to most people when they realize the majority of inflammatory diseases start in the gut with an autoimmune reaction which progresses into systemic inflammation. To truly be effective at managing or hopefully overcome a disease it needs to be addressed on all levels. Taking a look at where this process starts is the key.

5 Health Benefits of Sauna Use

Sauna Art: Pekka Halonen-Saunassa

If you’ve ever been in a sauna then you know first hand how rejuvenating and invigorating a good sweat can be. Sweating is a form of detoxification and there may be no better place to stimulate this process than in the sauna. Sauna therapy developed in the Scandinavian region, specifically Finland, and is used for bathing, improving ailments, and even as a setting for childbirth. To say the sauna is a foundational element of Finnish society would be an understatement, some even view it as a holy place and behave as they would in a church. It’s no wonder, more than just a place to feel good, the sweat inducing heat is also thought to improve many health problems including hypertension, fatigue, pain, and even addiction. (more…)

New Neurological Disorder Is Caused by Common Vaccine Adjuvant

MMF is a nasty neurological disorder with ties to multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia. As we’ve come to expect, though, the WHO acts as if it’s more interested in covering up the cause – vaccines.

A new neurological disease, which is almost certainly caused by aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, is characterized by severe muscle and joint pain, inflammation with fever, and debilitating fatigue. Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF), which is similar to, but diagnostically distinct from, fibromyalgia was first identified in 1993. Because adjuvant aluminum is the probable cause of MMF, some researchers have suggested that it may also be the cause of fibromyalgia.

Ribose Increases Energy 61% in CFS/Fibromyalgia: A Multicenter Study

Abstract
Fibromyalgia represents a cellular energy crisis with many causes. Treatments that increase energy production can often be helpful. This includes the “SHINE” protocol (Sleep, Hormones, Infections, Nutrition, and Exercise), which was shown to be highly effective in an earlier RCT. A soon to be published multicenter study showed that D-ribose supplementation (Cor­valen) increased energy an average of 61% at three weeks, while also improving sleep, cognitive function, pain, and overall well-being.

Fibromyalgia: An Overview

Fibromyalgia is a complex disorder characterized by fatigue, widespread pain, abnormal pain processing, sleep disturbance, and cognitive impairment.1 Diagnosis is made by exam and history, with 11/18 tender points positive, and is based on the new criteria developed in 2010 by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). This consists of the Widespread Pain Index (score >7), a Symptom Severity Scale (score ≥5), the presence of symptoms for at least 3 months, and no comorbidity that would explain the pain.2 (more…)

Magnesium Moderates Fibromyalgia Symptoms

A clinical trial published in January 2012 in Rheumatology International reports that magnesium supplementation reduces symptoms of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and soft tissues and is associated with fatigue, depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that over five million American adults are affected by fibromyalgia. (more…)

Fighting Fibromyalgia Naturally

Fibromyalgia causes symptoms that include aching muscles, tender skin, fatigue, flu-like symptoms and mental fogginess that leaves sufferers unable to function normally in everyday life. Fortunately, for those who don’t want to resort to experimenting with medication to find a solution, there are a few natural remedies and lifestyle changes that may offer relief to fibromyalgia sufferers.

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, about five million Americansaged 18 or older are affected by fibromyalgia. For many, symptoms come and go, making diagnosis difficult and finding an effective treatment option complicated. Because it isn’t a disease with easy-to-identify symptoms and a single effective treatment method, coping with fibromyalgia can be challenging. (more…)

You’re slowly being poisoned

Want a shock? Go get tested for heavy metals. Your jaw will drop when you see the results.

I know, because I see the reactions in my own clinic every single day.

The reality is, nearly everyone has way too much lead, mercury, arsenic, and other toxic heavy metals inside them — and these metals are a major cause of supposedly incurable conditions.

I say “supposedly” because I often can cure or improve them, and I’ll tell you everything you need to know to get started on your own cure in a moment.

First, a new study confirms the role of toxic heavy metals in autoimmune disease — especially among women battling disorders such as thyroid disease, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lupus. (more…)
