Sinus Infections and What to do about them

We've had this article posted for awhile now, but only recently discovered a really good homeopathic remedy made by WSN which always delivers excellent products..  Read about it here http://www.mcvitamins.com/sinuses.htm

 

How Niacin Lowers Cholesterol

It has been known for years that increased levels of niacin in the blood stream is a very effective way of reducing cholesterol levels without the need of additional drugs. Numerous medical and university studies have shown that niacin lowers overall cholesterol levels.

These studies show that niacin reduces the bad cholesterol (LDL) by 10-20%, reduces triglycerides (fat in the blood) by 20-50% and raises the good cholesterol (HDL) by 15 to 35%. 

Niacin accomplishes these changes naturally in the following ways:

1)      It reduces the breakdown of fat from fat cells which is the source of raw material used by the liver to create excess triglyceriedes.

2)      It inhibits the liver from converting sugar to triglycerides.

3)      It inhibits the liver from creating the building blocks of the bad cholesterol (VLDL) and thus as a result the bad cholesterol drops naturally.

4)      Virtually every study done on niacin has shown it to increase good cholesterol and which then picks up the excess bad cholesterol in your blood and takes it back to your liver for disposal.   The higher the good cholesterol, the less bad cholesterol you’ll have in your blood.

In a study called the “Coronary Drug Project” which ran for 6 years and included 3908 patients to study the effects of niacin besides lowering both triglycerides and cholesterol levels there were other astonishing results:

The study found that the use of niacin led to a 14% reduction in non fatal heart attack, a 26% reduction in damage to blood vessels in the brain (stroke or blockage) and a 47% reduction in the need for coronary artery bypass surgery

Unfortunately, the use of niacin to bring down cholesterol levels never became popular due to the high amounts of niacin needed, which created side effects due to “niacin flush”. (Niacin cannot be confused with niacinaide or nictoinamide which does not cause flushing and does not lower cholesterol levels).

 

An overlooked "nutrient"

Did you know you have probably never been told the straight truth about one of the most potent, yet overlooked, healing nutrients in the world? In fact, medical groups have actually spent the past three decades convincing you to avoid this "nutrient" by scaring you into thinking it causes cancer.

But the truth is far different. Strong clinical evidence proves this "nutrient" actually prevents and helps REVERSE an astounding number of serious diseases (and I'll tell you all about it right here), including:

* Prostate cancer
* Breast cancer
* Osteoporosis
* Depression
* Gum disease
* Schizophrenia
* Diabetes

Curious what this "nutrient" really is? Let me give you some hints It moves at the speed of light. You can feel it (it feels warm), but you can't touch it. Without it, there would be no life whatsoever on planet Earth. And it can't be patented or sold for profit.

What is it? Sunlight.

I'm talking about natural, healthy sunshine, which enables your body to make its own lifesaving vitamin D. Today, I want to share with you the secrets of its health benefits in a fascinating special report called, "The Healing Power of Sunshine and Vitamin D." It's available for downloading right now at:

This special report contains information you probably won't hear from your doctor or dermatologist, because it goes against everything they believe about sunlight. But recent research is proving that not getting enough sunlight is extremely dangerous to your health because it causes vitamin D deficiencies that promote chronic disease.

Seeking out sunlight in safe, reasonable doses, on the other hand, does wonders for your health and may, in fact, render all sorts of conventional medical therapies irrelevant. Again, you can get the full story in this fascinating special report right now:

This special report features an interview with Dr. Michael Holick, one of the world's leading experts on vitamin D and sunlight. In "The Healing Power of Sunlight," he discusses his fascinating research. You'll learn things like:

* How vitamin D deficiencies have been directly linked to several
types of cancer.

* In a study of African-American, Latino, and Caucasian women who had just given birth, 76% were deficient in vitamin D and 81% of the infants were deficient.

* A study in Finland showed that infants who were deficient in vitamin D had an 80% increased risk of developing Type-2 diabetes as an adult.

* 32% of students and doctors in Boston are deficient in vitamin D by the end of winter.

* 40% to 60% of elderly people are at risk for vitamin D deficiency.

In "The Healing Power of Sunshine and Vitamin D," Dr. Holick also explains little-known facts about sunshine and vitamin D. In this special report, you'll learn:

* How proper nutrition helps you avoid sunburn without using chemical sunscreens

* What the right amount of sunlight is for your body * How vitamin D deficiencies cause prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and other diseases

* The true cause of asthma and why antihistamines only conceal the symptoms of the disease rather than treating its cause

* How to calculate how much sunlight you need based on your ancestry and current geographical location

* Seasonal Affective Disorder: how to treat it with sunlight exposure 

* Why you can't get enough vitamin D from diet alone

* Why U.K. dermatologists support more sun exposure, but the U.S.dermatology association refuses to change its stance

* How a lack of vitamin D may contribute to schizophrenia 

* Why it is harder to absorb adequate amounts of calcium without sufficient vitamin D
