The Truth about Steroids and how they effect your ...

The Incredible Spongebob-Hulk?The fact is that many steroids are also known to create disharmony within the body, through the bringing of some very adverse effects such as vomiting, nausea, headaches, tummy aches, diarrhea and insomnia. The user should expect such a feeling that speaks of general indisposition mostly while they are within such intake of an element such as Anadrol, an element that is largely comparable to the substance Dianabol which gives a very acute sense of well being.

Steroids are not what you might think they are

Cytomel is on the category of fat burners in the body building field. It is meant to increase the metabolism rate of an individual after intake when exercising, therefore working out every body part and burning huge masses of fat in a very short time. It acts as a stimulator of the normal body metabolism. Many of the bodybuilders who are experiencing severe acne caused by the steroid Anadrol then continue on thier drug binge using oxymetholone as a control measure through the use of Accutane, which comes as a prescription drug. This vicious cycle has severe long term health consequences.

There are beneficial uses – sometimes

Induction of male puberty is a part of medical function of steroids. Androgens are normally given to boys with distressed body conditions and those who have delays of puberty. Testosterone is the only androgen that is used to help in increasing weight, height, and fat-free mass. In specific, doctors only prescribe it when needed especially the cases of stunned growth. The down side is that Aggression and hypomania are two conditions that are very prominent to steroid users. (… so giving this to a teenager seems like a good idea?)

Roid rage – yes it’s real

From the late 1980s, the press has reported “roid rage” as one of the major side effects of anabolic steroids. A 2005 evaluation determined that, some controlled studies found out that anabolic steroid use associates with hypomania and the aggressiveness persistent in different individuals, but it went ahead to point out that several attempts to resolve whether the steroids use causes violent behavior, has failed to a great extent, all because of the increased rate of non-participation.

On the Drugs AgainThe way towards the usage or abuse of steroids is mired by the case of failure, success or both. It is common knowledge that steroids are not what you might think they are, since many people lack in the right information which makes the necessary difference about anabolic androgenic steroids. Steroids are used for myriad reasons and by many people from the two genders. They are a means through which humans attain a muscle increment goal. The best way to get the results that you have been looking for is to work with a good trainer and choose healthy nutritional supplements.

Steroids can land you in JAIL

In Canada, the AAS and any of their derivatives are controlled as part of banned drugs and compounds act, they are Schedule IV substances, and this means that the legality is compromised. The steroid sale without a definite prescription is punishable, however, possession is not restricted, a result reserved for schedule I, II or III compounds. Those culpable of selling and buying the AAS in Canada can be locked in prison for 18 months.

Well that right there talked me out of it!

Solar Energy Panels: Are They Worth the Effort?...

A simple answer to this question, would be of course… YES.

Electric Sparks 2However if you are considering a solar energy panel for your house then it would be wise to consider the options, before you make a rushed decision to spend thousands of dollars on a solar energy panel installation.

The fact is, if you pay for a professional installation, you will not see a return on your investment for another 10 or more years! This presents a real problem in the solar energy panel industry because many people are trying to buy a solar panel, simply to save money in the first place. Needless to say, spending thousands of dollars on solar energy panel installation, is not going to save you any money.. in fact it will take a big chunk of your money. If something happens to the solar panel before you see a return on your investment, then you are basically out of luck unless the panel is insured.

So then, how do you go about getting solar panels for your home, if you can’t afford brand-new ones? Surely there is a way for average people to afford solar panels.. the answer is, you will need to put in some work and install the solar energy panel yourself. Now, at this point you are probably thinking I am a lunatic for insinuating that you could possibly be capable of such a task.

The truth is,

The installation and the building process can be learned by just about anyone with the right set of instructions.

There are many guides and DIY kits available that can assist the average consumer in building and installing their own solar energy panel. Many of these guides are risk free, because they are backed by a guarantee and support. I would not recommend buying a guide that is not backed by a guarantee and support.

Coffee trends lean towards ganoderma infused java...

Coffee Drinking Trends Report

by Scott OBrien

Major Increase in Consumption among Young (News release: July 19th, 2007)
( this might be a few years old but the trend is still growing as of 2009!)

Coffee is now bigger than soft drinks!

Market penetration of coffee among American adults has surpassed that of soft drinks, reversing a 2-decade pattern. Specifically, the National Coffee Association’s just-published 2007 National Coffee Drinking Trends (NCDT) report reveals that 57% of American adults drink coffee daily, while 51% consume soft drinks daily. And 81% of American adults drink coffee, with 67% doing so at least once a week.

Make sure you are drinking the best coffee available – Only shade grown Organic fair trade coffee beans infused with Ganoderma and Cordyceps for daily immune support and enhanced physical performance. Nutricafe makes it easy and delicious to stay healthy!

Daily grind expanding

Daily coffee consumption among 18-24-year olds climbed to 37% — a jump of 6 percentage points over 2006, in a fourth consecutive annual increase, for an overall gain of 21 percentage points since 2003 when market penetration for this age group was only 16%. This segment also now drink 3.1 cups per day, up from 2.5 cups in 2005.

“Coffee is the new ‘black’ among beverages,” said Robert F. Nelson, president and CEO of the National Coffee Association, in a prepared statement. “Coffee is a trend-setting menu option for a new generation of consumers amid an exploding U.S. café culture.” This age group also exhibits the largest increase in daily and weekly gourmet coffee beverage consumption.

Reishi infused Coffee trend growing – and for good reason!

Research has demonstrated that Ganoderma Lucidum has several different active constituents. One group of active constituents is the polysaccharides. The various types of polysaccharides found in Ganoderma Lucidum have demonstrated immune-enhancing properties. This includes enhancement of several important interleukins. Another major class of compounds is the triterpenes. These compounds have been reported to have adaptogenic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-allergy effects.

Cardiovascular Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shown in some studies to inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce blood pressure. In studies of people with hypertension, researchers found blood pressure was significantly reduced over two-weeks’ time with reishi supplementation.

Immune Benefits
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly prescribed by practitioners for long-term immune system support. In studies involving patients with advanced tumors, the patients were given Ganoderma Lucidum for thirty days. Researchers found a marked immune-modulating effect as demonstrated by an increase in T lymphocytes and decreased CD8 counts. Patients also reported reduced side effects due to chemotherapy or radiation as well as postoperation recovery.

Blood Sugar Balance
Studies have shown Ganoderma Lucidum to have a blood sugar lowering effect. Much of this activity appears to be due to polysaccharides known as Ganoderans A, B, and C.

It appears there are three main mechanisms behind this hypoglycemic effect. This includes Ganoderma Lucidum‘s ability to elevate plasma insulin levels, to enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose, and to enhance liver metabolism of glucose.

Anti-inflammatory Effects

Studies have shown that hot-water extracts of Ganoderma Lucidum have anti-inflammatory effects. One study found that 50 milligrams of reishi powder had comparable effects to 5 milligrams of hydrocortisone.

Liver Protector
Ganoderma Lucidum is commonly used for its hepatoprotective (liver protective) action. One study of patients with hepatitis B and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT) and bilirubin were given reishi for three months. Significant reduction in SGOT and SGPT were noticed within one month. After three months all values were within normal range.

Oxygenation
One of the unique uses of Ganoderma Lucidum is for altitude sickness. Reishi appears to reduce altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood. This benefit was studied in Asian mountain climbers that ascended mountains as high as 17,000 feet with minimal reaction.

Americas biggest health threat? Marketing Milk and...

From McDougall’s Medicine: Fighting the Big Fat Lies with Fad-free Truth: Dr. McDougall takes on the dairy, pharmaceutical & meat industries, & speaks out against low-carb diets.

This very revealing story has dire consequences for most Americans – are you one of them?

Why was Eliot Spitzer Knocked off???...

Well you might wonder why him as I have given the virtual tsunami of immoral behavior among the politicians of this country. Note I avoid ‘our’ politicians, as they are not mine and probably not yours!

As you might assume there is more to this story than the mainstream media is willing to report! Click here.

You will probably not be amazed, just a further sign of the times that no matter how bizarre and/or unethical such news might seems it is just another day in the life….

Torture, Ignorance is not bliss, someone somewhere...

Please watch this video, it is pretty graphic so please don’t let you young children see this. However, as a people we can add this to the list of crimes against humanity that are being committed on a daily basis by our elected officials, from the President down.

This list is long and absolutely criminal, at least in my opinion.  From War in Iraq without Congressional approval to the ‘monetization’ of bankruptcy by the Federal Reserve to the atrocities that occur daily in the name of We the People!  Folks it is time to stand up and voice your total disapproval.  Find ways to band together and make a difference.  As long as we feel that we have no power – WE WON’T HAVE ANY!!!

ACT, ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Psychotropic drugs and pregnant mothers??...

What has the world come to? Passing a law to ‘prevent’ post partum depression in mothers, while still pregnant! What business does the government have is regulating/legislating our moods? I ask you to see the article on how these drugs have been found to have to not much good, apparently our politicians, blinded by all the lobby money coming from Big Pharma, have been unable to read that particular article. Not to mention the fact that most of the violent crimes we read about involve people that have been using or recently used psychotropic drugs of some kind and anti-depressants are clearly in this category.

At least one Mom is upset about this, click here, and for more on this click here.

This world is just completely out of whack now and I wonder just how far we will let this go as a people? Or will there be some kind of major calamity, such as a total financial meltdown and I mean total, to get us back to thinking properly? Will it be something else even more devastating. I just can’t see how this sort of behavior can continue. As a parent I discipline my kids and try to met it out in conjunction with the severity of the infraction. I can only imagine what the Universe has in mind for us given our present behavior.

Supreme Court Wants to grant blanket immunity to B...

Well here we go again!! The Supreme Court is proposing that Big Pharma shouldn’t be liable for side effects (including death) from their products BECAUSE some people MIGHT benefit.  How absurd is that?  If you want to read a bit more about this click here.

At the same time your friendly government would like to make it next to impossible for smaller supplement companies to do business and frequently single out some of them for various and asundry infractions, as interpreted by the FDA!  Go figure!

So if you think these jokers, government, food industry, big pharma,  have your best interests at heart, think again.  They are protecting the powers that brought them to the table! See some of my previous blogs on the subject.

We need some real leadership to retake our rights and liberty back from these pirates.  The health freedom initiative that Ron Paul has proposed is exactly what we are talking about.  Please read up on this issue, it will affect you and your children for a long time to come if we let them plunder our ship!!  Remember, this country is OUR SHIP. If it sinks you sink with it!!

All Jacked UP…corporatisim in the food industry...

For those of us that can’t get enough, and for those of you who haven’t yet come to the conclusion that our foods are being jacked with at many different levels take a look at this trailer and we suggest you purchase this video and watch it with the entire family!

From the government, FDA, to mainstream capitalist companies we are under attack!

One has to wonder whether or not our health is important to anyone, including ourselves!  If it is important do something about it.  Keep informed of ‘actions’ being considered by the FDA and write them about it.  Write your congress person and Senator.  Vote for someone who will at least address these issues in the next elections.

At this rate we will become extinct in a couple of generations…poisoned by our own!

Ladies your Health Freedom is UNDER ATTACK!!...

Ladies if you like not having to use ’synthetic’ hormones but prefer the bioidentical types you can get at a ‘compounding’ pharmacy, well not for long.  Please read the following excerpts from a recent news letter I received.  It has great information about this attack on your health freedoms and how the media is totally ignorant, or at least plays like dumb, of nutritional issues.  These are just the kinds of issues and trends that Ron Paul can reverse if elected as President in 2008.


The FDA has unleashed an assault on women
’s health freedom by attacking compounding pharmacies and bioidentical hormones. Today we bring you two feature stories detailing this criminal action by the Food and Drug Administration, along with links to websites where you can take action to protest the FDA’s latest censorship attempt.Read the top article below for details.
