This article by Dr. Mercola lays out the facts:

“Unfortunately, many women are completely unaware that the science simply does not back up the use of routine mammograms as a means to prevent breast cancer death.

“As was revealed in a 2011 meta-analysis by the Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews, mammography breast cancer screening led to 30 percent overdiagnosis and overtreatment, which equates to an absolute risk increase of 0.5 percent. ”

READ THE ARTICLE: The DARE Force Blog: “Why on Earth Can’t I Lose Weight and Keep it Off?”

To quote Bechamp, “It is the terrain, milieu or environment that determines health or disease, NOT the pathogen.” This mature outlook on our biology was finally acknowledged by Pasteur, himself, on his deathbed. He recanted his germ theory, saying “It’s the terrain, not the germ.”

In fact, it is both. If your terrain is toxic it is much harder for your immune system to fight off a pathogen. The status of your terrain is determined primarily by four things: its pH (it’s acid/alkaline balance); its electric/magnetic charge (negative or positive); its degree of toxicity; and its nutritional status. For example, low oxygen levels, stagnating body fluids, or loss of electrical charge on red blood cells can all of these result in an unhealthy terrain.

Health is about balance.

Here is a wonderful article which explains all this in greater detail.

Also, take 3 grams of Vitamin C (buffered, preferably, or Ester C) before the party, and 3 more afterwards. And, if you think there might be a hangover anyway take 3 pellets of Nux Vomica 30c, a homeopathic remedy from the health food store, just before you go to bed.

There’s the shortest blog in the world on a busy day just before Christmas!

Have a great one!

A long-held mantra suggests that you can’t change your family, the genes they pass on, or the effect of these genes. Now, scientists are attacking that belief. The researchers discovered the gene that is the strongest marker for heart disease can actually be modified by generous amounts of fruit and raw vegetables.

The results of their study are published in the current issue of the journal PLoS Medicine.

“We know that 9p21 genetic variants increase the risk of heart disease for those that carry it,” said Dr. Jamie Engert, joint principal investigator of the study, who is a researcher in cardiovascular diseases at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and associate member in the Department of Human Genetics at McGill University. “But it was a surprise to find that a healthy diet could significantly weaken its effect.”

The research, which represents one of the largest gene-diet interaction studies ever conducted on cardiovascular disease, involved the analysis of more than 27,000 individuals from five ethnicities — European, South Asian, Chinese, Latin American and Arab — and the effect that their diets had on the effect of the 9p21 gene. The results suggest that individuals with the high risk genotype who consumed a prudent diet, composed mainly of raw vegetables, fruits and berries, had a similar risk of heart attack to those with the low risk genotype.

“We observed that the effect of a high-risk genotype can be mitigated by consuming a diet high in fruits and vegetables,” said Sonia Anand, joint principal investigator of the study, and a researcher at the Population Health Research Institute and a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University.

Alas, the war on cancer has been a MASSIVE failure, and the reasons for this failure are clearly explained in the featured documentary Cut, Poison, Burn.

Greed bordering on the grotesque has been allowed to rule the game here, and the primary beneficiaries of this 40-year long “war” are pharmaceutical companies and the tremendously profitable cancer industry as a whole, including so-called “non-profit” organizations like the American Cancer Society.

Rather than decreasing, cancer rates have increased during the last 40 years, and now surpass heart disease as the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 45 to 74. According to statistics detailed in the film, one in three women, and one in two men will now get some form of cancer in their lifetime!

Not many consumers realize that the FDA does not require genetically modified food to be labeled. That’s because the FDA has decided that you, dear consumer, don’t care if the tomato you’re eating has been cross bred with frog genes to render the tomato more resistant to cold weather. Some consumers may not be concerned with eating Frankenfood, but for those who are, here’s how to determine if the fruits and vegetables you’re buying are (GM) genetically modified.

Hat tip to Marion Owen for her valuable information. Here’s how it works:

For conventionally grown fruit, (grown with chemicals inputs), the PLU code on the sticker consists of four numbers.

Organically grown fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 9.

Genetically engineered (GM) fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 8.

For example:
A conventionally grown banana would be: 4011
An organic banana would be: 94011
A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011
These tips are specially important now that over 80% of all processed foods in the US are genetically modified. Many countries in the European Union have been banning GM products and produce (including Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg). We say “Eat healthy, buy or grow organic”.

This helps for fresh produce.

The best sites for getting updated info on GM foods are the following.

http://truefoodnow.org/: This one also has an app to download so you can keep up with the latest info on your mobile phone
http://responsibletechnology.org/buy-non-gmo: Jeffrey Smith, who wrote ‘Seeds of Deception’ and ‘Genetic Roulette’, founded this organization. This site also has a wealth of information.

Attached is the non-GMO phamplet I downloaded on 7/15/11.
Also recommended are the 2 books above by Jeffrey Smith, which will help people better understand genetic engineering.

There are many other helpful sites but those may be the best place to start.

Btw, the USDA just approved GE Alfalfa. The issue especially with this is that compost sold as organic for our gardens will be impacted. This means the organic compost seller will need to certify his compost. So if he gets compost from horse barns and mixes it with other ingredients, how does he know the horses have all been fed non-GMO hay.
