Documentaries For every Health Conscious Human


In this extremely informative video, fifteen people, including Dr. Viera Scheibner (a PhD researcher), five medical doctors, other researchers, reveal what is really going on in relation to illness and vaccines. Ironically, the important facts come from the orthodox medicine’s own peer-reviewed research. With so much government and medical promotion of vaccination for prevention of disease, the video is clearly devoted to presenting the other side of the issue that parents and others are not being told. The result is a damning account of the ineffectiveness of vaccines and their often harmful effects. It declares that parents are not being told the truth by the media, the Health Department and the medical establishment, with a medical doctor, Dr. Mark Donohoe, confessing that “It is a problem for me that I am part of a profession that is systematically lying to people…”

The Disappearing Male documentary-- The Disappearing Male is about one of the most important, and least publicized, issues facing the human species: the toxic threat to the male reproductive system. The last few decades have seen steady and dramatic increases in the incidence of boys and young men suffering from genital deformities, low sperm count, sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer. At the same time, boys are now far more at risk of suffering from ADHD, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, cerebral palsy, and dyslexia. The Disappearing Male takes a close and disturbing look at what many doctors and researchers now suspect are responsible for many of these problems: a class of common chemicals that are ubiquitous in our world. Found in everything from shampoo, sunglasses, meat and dairy products, carpet, cosmetics and baby bottles, they are called “hormone mimicking” or “endocrine disrupting” chemicals and they may be starting to damage the most basic building blocks of human development.

More on MSG- Obscure Labeling

                   Obscure Labeling  
MSG would be easy to identify (and avoid) if it were honestly and plainly labeled as such. But it is not. MSG goes by far too many obscure descriptions, names one would not easily associate with monosodium glutamate. For a while, I had a list of six to eight of these names (compounds behind which MSG hides) written in a small purse-sized notebook, and I'd consult the list when shopping. I never did memorize the whole list. I learned a couple of the most commonly used descriptions (like hydrolyzed protein), but mostly I learned to avoid the prepared foods that typically contain MSG. When Dr. Kessler headed the FDA and was vociferously waging his campaign for truthful labeling of food products, I wrote, begging him to include MSG in his truthful labeling crusade. Obviously my pleas weren't heard, or perhaps the powerful glutamate-invested food lobbies won. While I can now read the total fat and saturated fat percentages on most any prepared food label, I'm still caught in that confusing maze of obscure names when trying to identify, and avoid, monosodium glutamate.
I've compiled the following list of names from five periodical articles about MSG. If you want to avoid eating MSG, watch for these compound names on food labels:

Food label names that always contain some MSG:
monosodium glutamate hydrolyzed protein
monopotassium glutamate textured protein
glutamate hydrolyzed oat flour
glutamic acid yeast nutrient
gelatin autolyzed yeast
calcium caseinate yeast extract
sodium caseinate yeast food
Accent Glutavene
Ajinomoto (in Oriental foods)

Food label names that often contain MSG, or create MSG during processing:
malt extract carrageenan
malt flavoring bouillon
barley malt broth
maltodextrin stock
whey protein natural beef flavoring
protein isolate natural chicken flavoring
protein concentrate natural pork flavoring
protein fortified flavoring
pectin natural flavoring
protease enzymes seasoning
enzymes soy sauce
protease sauce extract
enzyme modified fermented
ultrapasteurized
Also, disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate are two expensive food additives that are hardly ever used in food without the presence of the cheaper flavor enhancer - MSG. These two expensive additives, also flavor enhancing chemicals, work synergistically with the inexpensive MSG. Manufacturers boost the effects of tiny amounts of disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate by using ample amounts of the cheaper MSG.
If you have severe reactions to MSG, notice that low-fat milk products often contain milk solids that contain MSG. Adverse reactions to MSG have even been reported with cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, and hair conditioners. Apparently, sensitive individuals can react to cosmetic ingredients that are hydrolyzed. Candy, chewing gum, manufactured drinks are other potential sources of MSG. People that react adversely to MSG are susceptible to cross-reactions to aspartame. The two additives are reported to have similar chemical structure, and both are considered "excitotoxins"

Bye-bye to refined sugar and toxic artificial sugar

Stevia is the world’s only all natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index. Harvested from a plant in the daisy family, stevia provides a truly delicious and healthy alternative to refined sugar or chemical/artificial sweeteners. The sweet part of the stevia herb is extracted and converted into an intensely sweet powder. This sweet powder is then blended with other all-natural ingredients to create a delicious and healthy sweetener.
STEVITA


Native people in Paraguay and other parts of South America have used stevia safely for centuries. This herbal sweetener is gradually finding its way into the homes of millions around the world. More recently Stevia gained popularity as a sweetener for coffees and teas, but it can sweeten just about anything you like. Because it works so well in cooking and baking, you can easily substitute refined sugar for stevia in just about any recipe.

Since stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index, it is perfect for individuals who prefer not to have their blood glucose levels fluctuate at rapid levels. This includes those with diabetes, hypo/hyperglycemia and anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The glycemic index is used to measure how fast food will raise your blood glucose level. Choosing foods that produce zero fluctuations in blood glucose is an important component for long-term health because it help reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. By helping you reduce your calorie intake and glycemic index, stevia can be a significant contributor to any healthy weight loss plan, because stevia has detox properties. Stevia leaves contain numerous all-natural nutrients that help regulate blood sugar, including chromium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B3(Niacin) therefore it is an ideal sugar for diabetics.
