Detoxification is the Best Way to Good Health

Ever since I went through the ordeal of almost going for the "last ride" sometime in 2003, I have always been very conscious about my health and out of all the things that I've undergone, what really helped me was body detoxification.

Today, there are many forms of detoxification from food supplements, surgical procedures and in the form of juice drinks and other what-have-you-got. But out of all those products, what has really changed my life for the better is Ganoderma Lucidum, a rare red mushroom that has the ability to detoxify your body and at the same time, balance it according to your normal range.

I once weighed a whooping 220 lbs. and in the summer of 2003, after a drinking binge and and a non-stop eating spree, my blood pressure shoot up to 200/140! I instantly experienced a "minor" minor stroke for I was still able to walk straight to a hospital directly to the emergency room accompanied by friends and business associates.

After being diagnosed with hypertension, my doctor told me that I need to do something about my problem. Thinking back about what has transpired and thinking about my family especially my 2 kids who were both 6 years old and 4 years old at that time, I decided that I should do what I must do.

Is Health at Any Size Possible?

In this newsletter edition, I will attempt to challenge your view of fat as being equal to unhealthy.

It wasn't until recently that I realized that all the information I had been fed about weight research was only one side of the coin. I didn't even recognize that the coin fell on the side of the diet industry. I ate all that I was fed and only felt bad about myself when I wasn't their "ideal weight".

No longer; I now see the other side of the coin. To start to reveal the other side of the coin, I will allow the words of Katherine Flegal to help me (thus, I will not be the only one preaching here):

Katherine M. Flegal, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, explains, "Although people think there's all this evidence out there showing a high mortality risk associated with (being) overweight, in fact the literature doesn't show it." Far from it. Flegal's research, analyzing 30 years of actual deaths in the US, corrected an earlier CDC report that indicated severe risks related to (being) overweight. She showed instead that being clinically 'overweight' is associated with a lower death rate than so-called 'normal' or 'healthy' weight. (JAMA 2005;293:1861-1867). It confirmed much earlier research that had been studiously ignored.

Further, I would like to point out that research telling us to lose weight isn't even working! Instead, the more we diet, the more we become more and more obsessed with food, our bodies and our failures. So, even if you do believe that being fat is unhealthy, is dieting really working for you?

So many long standing, compelling messages are received every day telling us to believe that being fat is unhealthy and unattractive. It breeds size discrimination and self hatred. These are unhealthy traits that many obesity studies are creating, says me, and others agree.
