So there you have it. Cherries, cherry juice, chocolate covered cherries are drugs. Well... they are addictive. So are drugs. They are red colored... so are some drugs. Gee! all these years I've been fooled. Cherries are drugs. Well whaddaya know?
As you may have seen (just by looking around) it appears that the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA seem to walk hand in hand and scratch each others back... cozy retirement with a pharma in return for limiting consumers choices in treatment. Blocking consumers from finding out about healing properties of foods and supplements that may challenge a drug... red rice yeast comes to mind. And numerous other things.
Well, if you are as angry about this constant erosion of your ability to even get knowledge,...
There is a solution.
It comes from Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
It is called
H.R. 4282: Health Freedom Protection Act
A brief summary of the bill:
Health Freedom Protection Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to provide that a food or dietary supplement is not a drug solely because the label or labeling contains a claim to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease.
Prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from: (1) restricting the reprinting and distribution or sale of any U.S. government publication or any accurate quotations of such a publication, including content concerning nutrients and disease treatment or prevention; or (2) construing the distribution or sale of, or accurate quotation from, such a publication in connection with the sale of a food or dietary supplement as evidence of an intent to sell that food or dietary supplement as a drug.
Requires the Secretary to allow claims on food or nutrient labeling that characterize the relationship of a nutrient to the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease (with no more than a three-sentence disclaimer) unless the Secretary proves by clear and convincing evidence that: (1) there is no scientific evidence that supports the claim; and (2) the claim is inherently misleading and incapable of being rendered non-misleading through the addition of a disclaimer.
Authorizes the use of specified health claims on the label of all foods and dietary supplements, including claims related to saw palmetto, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and calcium.
Allows a statement for a dietary supplement to include words that are recognized as signs or symptoms of disease so long as the statement does not include the name of a specific disease
Amends the Federal Trade Commission Act to exempt from being regulated as advertising: (1) government publications exempted from reprinting or distribution restrictions under FFDCA; or (2) accurate summaries of scientific publications. Places the burden of proof that an advertisement for a dietary supplement or ingredient is false and misleading on the Federal Trade Commission
As you can see, it is all common sense. It restricts some Federal government agencies from trampling all over your right to know.
You can read the entire bill here:
http://www.hr4282.org/bill.htm
Sounds reasonable to me. If it sounds reasonable to you send a letter to your Representative demanding that they pass H.R. 4282 the Health Freedom Protection Act
Something along the lines of:
Date:
The Honorable: [Your Representatives Name]
The Capitol
Washington DC 20515
Dear Representative (Your Representatives Last Name):
As a voter in District (Your congressional District) I urge you in the strongest possible terms to support the Health Freedom Protection Act, bill H.R. 4282.
It is really important that consumers such as your family, friends, and constituents such as myself and my family have access to accurate information about the effects of nutrients on disease. We need that information to make informed choices about what foods and supplements we can take to treat and reduce the risk of disease and illness.
The FDA will not allow claims that are true to be displayed with the products the claims are about.
For example:
- Calcium reduces the risk of bone fractures;
- Omega-3 fatty acids treat heart disease
- Omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of sudden death heart attack
- Fresh Cherries May Help Arthritis Sufferers (note: this study was even reported by the USDA)
Yet, each of these claims is true, and supported by scientific studies. What is even more outrageous is that time and time again the FDA will not allow health claims if the scientific study was done outside of the USA.
Can I ask you to imagine for a moment, an ailing member of your family denied the medicinal benefits of fresh fruit, or a supplement because the FDA prevented the manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers from displaying this information secret. Would you like to see your relative suffer?
You, are in a position to do something about this. And I'm asking you to do it... for the good health of your family and your constituents.
This bill H.R. 4282 will prevent censorship by the FDA, and give consumers such as your family and constituents such as myself and my family members access to science that substantiates the effects of foods and supplements on disease.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding whether you will support this bill or if you are against it.
Respectfully,
(Signature)

Spotlight On: Downy Hair May Be A Sign of Cancer
------------------------------------------------------------
Are you still smoking? If so, are you reading the surgeon general's warning on cigarette packs?
What, you smoke cigars? That's fine. But the smoke can still set your body up so you can develop cancer.
Now this is not a rant against smoking. I used to smoke. I used to smoke anywhere from 2-4 packs of Dunhill Reds every single day... until I quit for good. Even when I quit, I still really liked the taste of cigarettes. It was the smoke I could do without. I personally didn't like what it was doing to me.
So I quit smoking.
But that is a choice you yourself will have to make.
This ezine is not designed to “Be your Mama” and tell you how to live your life.
It is designed to give you tips into healthy living.
What is cancer?
Did you know that every single day of your life your body is developing cancer cells?
It's true. I learned that when I was doing the research for the Prostate handbooks from our Prostate Shield Program
http://emperorsherbologist.com/prostateshield.php
When your body is healthy, cells grow, divide and soon die in a regular predictable somewhat orderly fashion. They have a typical expected life-span. Most of your cells have other replacement cells waiting and biding their time until the time when they can take over from the soon to be dead cells.
Cancer is what happens when an out of control cell or cells continue to grow and divide rather than die as they are supposed to do. All the cells in your body are programmed to live a certain life span and then die making way for new cells. That is why your body is constantly regenerating and growing, even if it is not obviously changing. In fact I have heard it said that you totally re-create yourself every 24 hours.
Anyway, when this rogue cell or group of rogue cells lives beyond their normal life-span, they continue to grow and divide. This creates abnormal, malfunctioning cells. The cells become abnormal when their DNA is changed. This is also kind of normal in a sense. It happens daily. It is a regular thing, and normally your body can take care of it. You body, in the vast majority of the cases can repair the damage.
In order for cancer to take hold, your body is not able to fix the damage of the rouge cells. And killer cells in your body are not able to kill the cancer cells. Most of the time you will see cancer, it is in the form of what is called a malignant tumor.
So lets have a look at Lung and Colon Cancer POSSIBLE PRELIMINARY warning signs so insignificant you may not pay attention to them.
If you experience them, do yourself a favor and get yourself checked out before you actually do check out.
A lot of cancer patients do not have treatment. The reason is that the majority of them find the cancer too late.
Actually, all the dangerous tumors (Malignant tumors) have signs that show up early.
If you pay enough attention daily to your body, you can find the signs on time and get treatment early.
Now this is not said to scare you, or to cause you to constantly think cancer.
Remember, what your mind thinks about and dwells on, your mind creates in reality. This fact has been proven over and over and over again.
The point here is to just give yourself the once over when you are showering in the morning. Just make it a part of your daily regimen. You know, wash body, shampoo hair, brush teeth, check for changes in body. That sort of thing. And if you do see a change, these are when the changes MAY (but not necessarily) be serious. It just means it is time to have them looked into.
Got it...
Good. Let's continue.
When a baby is born, you may see a super fine hair covering the baby's body. Sometimes called “Downy hair” or “Baby fuzz.” These hairs are brought from birthing process. They are naturally occurring.
When the baby starts to grow, the fine hair little by little falls out and new hair grows in.
Scientists after studying this have found that if as an adult you suddenly see this type of hair (and you have done nothing to cause it)like taking hair growth pills etc. It means that the hair follicles have returned to the embryo period of development.
This may mean that a malignant tumor may be present in an internal organ. And it has started to send hormones into the body. This causes the hair follicles to start to grow downy hair. So if adults suddenly find that this type of hair starts to increase on your face specifically your cheek , chin, forehead, and ears. Then little by little it can expand to your neck, then shoulder, and then entire body.
This white downy hair is as soft as it is on a newborn baby body. When you touch it feels very silky.
From experience of treating cancer patients in clinics, people who have this kind of downy hair seem to have lung cancer or colon cancer. This kind of hair normally shows up during the first period of a malignant tumor's growth.
However, if there is no malignant tumor in the lung or colon, it can also show a few months before a malignant tumor shows up in a different organ. Again, the vast majority of people who suddenly develop this type of hair, end up being diagnosed with malignant tumors in either the lung or colon.
This is only sign of a malignant tumor of an internal organ, it does not mean that you are developing skin cancer.
When this kind of downy hair shows up suddenly, go and get yourself thoroughly check out.
One thing to emphasize is this kind of hair develops suddenly for no reason.
So, you now have one more weapon to add to your arsenal. And here's another...
If you are still smoking, and you want to quit, go to
http://smarter-health.com/quit_smoking.shtml
and pick up the Instant Stop Smoking Program. It's only $27.00
It's the exact method I personally used to quit smoking for good. And I quit “Cold Turkey”

Cocoa Intake, Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Mortality The Zutphen Elderly Study
Brian Buijsse, MSc; Edith J. M. Feskens, PhD; Frans J. Kok, PhD; Daan Kromhout, PhD
Arch Intern Med. 2006;166:411-417.
http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/166/4/411
Background: Small, short-term, intervention studies indicate that cocoa-containing foods improve endothelial function and reduce blood pressure. We studied whether habitual cocoa intake was cross-sectionally related to blood pressure and prospectively related with cardiovascular mortality.
They can say what they want about the beneficial effects of pure dark chocolate (cocoa). We like it because it tastes great.
With Valentines Day over, some other holidays are coming up. And Chocodant™ would make a great gift.

Green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 expression in colon carcinogenesis.
Peng G, Dixon DA, Muga SJ, Smith TJ, Wargovich MJ.
Department of Pathology and Microbiology, School of Medicine, The University of South Carolina, and South Carolina Cancer Center, Columbia, South Carolina.
Tea, one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, has been shown to have anti-cancer activity in various cancers including colon cancer. It has been demonstrated that over-expression of the inducible isoform of cyclooxygenase (COX-2) occurs during colon tumorigenesis and inhibition of COX-2 by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is chemopreventive. To determine whether the anti-cancer effect associated with green tea impacted COX-2 expression levels, human colorectal cancer cell lines HT-29 and HCA-7, were treated with (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the most abundant and effective polyphenol of green tea. EGCG significantly inhibited constitutive COX-2 mRNA and protein overexpression. The inhibitory effects of EGCG on signaling pathways controlling COX-2 expression were examined. We observed that EGCG downregulated the ERK1/2 and Akt pathways in colon cancer cells. The effect of EGCG on COX-2 expression resulted in decreased COX-2 promoter activity via inhibition of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. EGCG also promoted rapid mRNA decay mediated through the COX-2 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). In conclusion, these data suggest that inhibition of COX-2 is a mechanism for the anti-proliferative effect of green tea and emphasizes the role that dietary factors have as anti-cancer agents.
