Chicken Protein or is it ..?

What did they inject chicken protein with..?

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) in the UK  had investigated companies involved in marketing chicken meat for mislabeling their packages. During an interview with Mark woolfe, head of food authenticity, he indicated that an investigation has been launched a while ago for the Food Standards Agency. The agency is aware that water injection in chicken meat is a standard process.

In order to keep their chicken fresh looking, chicken companies such as Euro Foods Group, uses water to inject in chicken meat. These companies realized that water leaks from the meat after injection which defeats the purpose of the water injection. In order to come over the water leak problem, the companies started to mix protein with water in order to retain the water inside the meat. The problem revolves around the type of protein used to inject the meat. Companies producing the protein for injection are not properly labeling their products. The FSA has discovered that the protein used for injection is not a chicken protein, as they claim. Scientific testing indicated that the injected protein originated from pork and beef. In addition to mislabeling the process contradict religious believes to Muslim and Jews. Other research indicated that some companies have used whey protein to inject chicken. This procedure is very harmful to people who have allergies to whey protein.

Cholesterol deposits on eyelids..?

Cholesterol deposits on eyelids and heart disease

In its cardiology section, the Toronto Medical Post reported on its December 14th 2010, page 55 that a recent research indicated that patients who have cholesterol deposits on

eyelids are at significant risk of heart attacks, ischemic heart disease and possible death. It reported that a research indicated that these xanthelasmata are deposits that, like atheromas, are composed of macrophages that have taken up cholesterol and became foam cells. A Danish researcher indicated that, the above study lasted 33 years which revealed that when these yellowish lesions are observed then the risk of heart attack is increased 51%, the risk of developing ischemic heart disease is increased 40% and the risk of death is increased 17% when compared with individuals who do not exhibit xanthelasmatas. Dr. Mette Christoffersen PhD of University of Copenhagen Hospital said the prevalence of xanthelasmatas is 4.4%.

For the past 10 years, I have been treating this condition with Lecithin granules, EFA and elimination of processed fat and elimination of fried food.

Cholesterol vs Gallbladder

Cholesterol and gallbladder.
Patients with increased cholesterol in the blood, normally have an issue with their clogged gallbladders'. The opposite is also correct, you would expect that patients with clogged gallbladder have increased cholesterol in the blood.
Patients who have lost their gallbladder to surgery, would face two problems:
1- gradual increase in weight (central obesity),
2- increased serum cholesterol,
Serum cholesterol will not correct unless the gallbladder is unclogged and fried food is removed from diet.

Ginseng as anti allergic treatment

Ginseng as an anti-allergic treatment.

A recent study on Ginseng extracts at the College of Pharmacy in Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Korea indicated that when ginsenoside was incubated (anaerobically) with human fecal microflora, all specimens metabolized ginsenoside and produced compound K.

Compound K exhibited the most potent antiallergic activity on the IgE-induced cell line as well as potent cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 requirements
Recent studies on vitamin D3 have outlined immune enhancements in addition to its known benefits in helping calcium cross from the digestive tracks into the circulation. New studies showed more benefits of vitamin D3 in reducing the incident of breast cancer in women deficient in vitamin D3.
The trend in the USA indicate that in a 2007 study of childbearing women in the Northern U.S. found insufficient vitamin D3 levels in 54% of black women and in 42% of white women.
Other studies have linked Vitamin D3 deficiency to Cancers (colon, prostate etc), depression and weight gain. Further it has been highlighted in the prevention of hypertension, autism, autoimmune disease, depression, flu, neuromuscular diseases, and of course osteoporosis.
These studies show that people with higher levels of vitamin D have a lower risk of the above listed disease.
More researches are still required to substantiate these claims.
Sun is the best form of supplementation (does not have to be in a resort down south). Among the best recommended dietary forms is liquid and the best sources in non-fried food of salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and cold pressed olive oil.
Supplementation of Vitamin D3 is individualized.

Hypoallergic remedies

Hypoallergic Remedies or regular remedies
Vitamins, minerals and enzymes supplemtation must be of "HYPOALLERGIC REMEDIES" in order to work well when ingested. Homeostasis is a system in human body that regulates these supplements metabolism in the body. Some people pay no attention to the quality of their supplements. Hypoallergic remedies provide no allergic reactions, better bioavaialbility and lesser acidity.

How holistic is HST ..?

I am wondering about fairness, equality and HST..?
an individual who consults a chiropractor for a treatment pays the treatment fee and the service is HST exempt which is just fair and right. The same patients does not pay HST when consulting with an osteopath, again osteopathy treatments are HST exempt. Which is fine and fair. I wonder why is the patient being penalized with HST when consulting with a naturopath for health issues...? Medical doctors' treatments are exempt too.

This unfair action raises several questions,
1- is the government saying that chiropractic treatment are mandatory and naturopathic treatment are luxury..?
2- is the goverment saying patients should be penalized if they consult with a naturopath..?
3- is the goverment saying health issues are negtiable whether credible or fake..?
4- is this practice by the government fair and equal..?
5- what criteria did the goverment use to establish who is lucky enough to charge HST and who is the unluck who doesn't have to pay HST..?

This is unfair to our patients who face 13% increase on their treatment let alone the increase of 13% on their remedies. I understand and the HST charge on remedies. But I do not understand the logic behing HST on services.

I will be filing a petition to the government on behalf of my patients. If you feel that the request is fair then lets work on it together. Lets stop HST on naturopathic services.
