(NaturalNews) Over the last month or so, the mainstream media has been making a huge deal about Kansas State nutrition professor Mark Haub who lost 27 pounds eating mostly Doritos, Twinkies and other junk food while drinking Diet Mountain Dew. But as usual, they’re misrepresenting the story.

You can lose weight on chemotherapy, too. And most chemotherapy patients lose all kinds of weight due to the mass poisoning of their bodies with synthetic chemicals. Does that mean chemotherapy is weight loss medicine, too? (Don’t laugh, I’ve seen similar conclusions written up in the mainstream media…)

Virtually anything can be promoted as a “weight loss miracle” in the following way:

The cashew diet?

Consider this: You can lose weight by starving yourself (by eating nothing). That promotes rapid weight loss as long as you stick to it — which is, of course, nearly impossible to do for very long. Read the rest of this entry »

Food, Dieting and Health

Jul 24

Posted by Parents Place in -What I Think, Foods | 1 Comment

By Lance D’Aoust

Here is my OPINION and Experience about Food, Dieting and Health

The way you look at food and eating is important because going on a special diet is the reason you will not lose weight and keep it off. If you want to be healthy and stay healthy you cannot go on and off diets. The way you think is the solution.

  • Food is not entertainment. Even though it can be so much fun!
  • Boredom is not the time to eat. Your mouth wants it, not your body.
  • Food is for survival. Your acceptance of this concept is critical.

Hunger is a Complex Mechanism that is Simple to Understand:

  • When your stomach is low on food it sends a signal to the brain.
    • This signal is mistakenly accepted by people as the signal to eat. It isn’t. It is the signal to hunt or gather your next meal before it’s too late.
      • Because you don’t live in a cave you have the luxury of doing nothing all the way up until you actually need to eat. Or you can go eat something right now. But because you don’t actually need it yet, you are only going to be collecting mass rather than sustaining yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

Starve Cancer with Your Diet

May 19

Posted by Parents Place in Foods | 2 Comments

Imagine that one medical advancement held the promise to conquer cancer, perhaps within your lifetime.Now imagine that same advance has the potential to also end more than 70 of life’s most threatening conditions, affecting one billion people worldwide.This is the promise of angiogenesis, the first medical revolution of the 21st century.

Dr. William Li
President and Medical Director
The Angiogenesis Foundation

William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game.

Angiogenesis, new capillary blood vessel growth, as seen by researchers in the laboratory.

William Li heads the Angiogenesis Foundation, a nonprofit that is re-conceptualizing global disease fighting.

Many of society’s most devastating diseases — cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s, to name a few — share a common denominator: faulty angiogenesis, the body’s growth of new capillary blood vessels. Given excessive or insufficient blood vessel growth, serious health issues arise. While researching under Harvard surgeon Judah Folkman, who pioneered the study of angiogenesis, Li learned how angiogenesis-based medicine helps patients overcome numerous diseases by restoring the balance of blood-vessel growth.

Li co-founded the Angiogenesis Foundation in 1994. The foundation’s Project ENABLE — a global system that integrates patients, medical experts and healthcare professionals — democratizes the spread and implementation of knowledge about angiogenesis-based medicines, diet and lifestyle. Some 40,000 physicians have been educated on new treatments, ranging from cancer care to wound care, by the foundation’s faculty of medical experts, and they are bringing new, lifesaving and disease-preventing techniques to people around the world.
