Molluscum Cure! Hot Niche!
Acne, pimples or “zits” as many sufferers call it, can be a real cause for depression. It is the most common of all skin diseases with around 17 million people in the USA alone afflicted with an acne problem. The official term, Acne Vulgaris describes a condition whereby the sebaceous glands of the skin become inflamed. If proper acne treatment is not sought these may develop into unsightly pustular cysts, and the end result may be permanent acne scars.
The causes of acne are varied and may include hormonal activity, stress, accumulation of dead skin cells and allergy to bacteria which are present in the pores of the skin. Sometimes it is a reaction to anabolic steroids and medication containing halogens, lithium, barbiturates or androgens. Some research suggests a role for food allergy, in the development of acne which implies the elimination of trigger foods could be helpful in the treatment of acne.
There are two types of acne: acne vulgaris and acne rosacea. Acne vulgaris is usually a bacterial infection of cysts deep within the skin. This could cause acne scarring if left untreated. Acne rosacea is a chronic inflammation of the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and eyelids. These show up as red eruptions. The teenage years seem to be the most troublesome for acne sufferers but it can also occur in adulthood and well into middle age.
The skin is the largest organ in the body and a healthy nutrient intake may improve its tone and quality. Although a diet of fried food, chocolates and other junk food does not directly cause acne, there is evidence that changes in diet may be helpful in the treatment of acne.
A study conducted by the US Colorado State University showed a link between refined carbohydrates and processed foods like sugar, white bread, pizza, cake and pastries, and acne. These cause a series of reactions in the body that increase the production of acne-causing bacteria. Refined carbohydrates also cause the body to produce a high level of insulin which increases the production of male hormones that cause acne. A decrease in your intake of refined carbohydrates may be beneficial in the treatment of acne. Instead try to include more whole grains, pulses and complex carbohydrates.
Furthermore it is now thought that obesity and insulin resistance may also play a role in the development of acne so dietary changes to assist in achieving an ideal weight are likely to be beneficial to the treatment of acne.
There is some research linking higher milk consumption intake to acne. If you normally include large amounts of milk in your diet, you could try reducing this and seeing if this is an effective acne solution for you. Ensure you include other calcium rich foods instead such as green vegetables, fish with soft bones, almonds and soymilk.
Omega 3 fish oils and antioxidants vitamins may also be important. Vitamin A (also in the form of beta-carotene which is converted in vitamin A) is thought to reduce acne symptoms. It is involved in strengthening the protective tissue of the skin and reducing sebum production. Additionally it helps in maintaining and repairing skin tissue and increasing toxin excretion which may be an important part of the acne solution.
Chromium supplements may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of acne via the role in clearing infections and preventing further breakouts. Zinc is a good antibacterial agent; it helps control the oil-producing glands of the skin. Eating zinc-rich foods could help in reducing acne, such foods include red meat and offal, pumpkin seeds, and mushrooms.
A role for vitamin E in the treatment of acne has also been suggested due to its anti-oxidant action and regulatory effect on vitamin A levels within the body. Vitamin E requirement can be easily met through natural sources such as almonds, corn, eggs and leafy green vegetables. However you can also try supplementing with synthetic forms and monitor any changes in your acne.
One of the most important aspects of your acne treatment is to drink at least eight glasses of water. This cleans the body of waste and keeps it free of toxins. Water helps in circulation, digestion, absorption and excretion.
Unfortunately changes in diet alone may not provide a total acne solution. There are a variety of drugs available for the treatment of acne, in addition to an array of natural remedies. It may be advisable to visit a dermatologist for a proper consultation in conjunction to any dietary changes you want to introduce.

Treatment of Acne
Most Primary Care Physicians recommend a breast exam and screening mammogram for their prevention strategies of breast cancer. Although these are options for screening, cancer is a chronic disease where many body systems are out of balance, there is a lot more that can be done to promote good health. I encourage women to become proactive and adopt healthy lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer. The following information consists of recommendations based on a study of 800 articles that looked at successful lifestyle modifications that influenced the prevention of breast cancer.
In 2009, the AICR (American Institute of Cancer Research) issued an updated report suggesting that lifestyle changes could prevent an estimated 38% of all breast cancer cases, about 70,000 cases each year. New data collected since the report’s publication shows that modifications in diet and exercise can indeed decrease breast cancer risk by more than one third. In addition, the report outlines how a variety of dietary constituents impact the risk for many types of cancer. Some specific recommendations from the report are summarized below:
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Physical activity should be a part of your daily routine. Exercising 3 to 5 times a week has proven to have beneficial effects on almost all chronic diseases. Find an activity that you enjoy, this should help you stick with the regimen.
BODY FAT: Be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight. Your total fat should be between 20 and 25%. The Body Composition Analysis (BCA) is a great tool to help manage the ratio of fat, fluids, and solids. This test takes a few minutes and can be done at Preventive Medicine.
FOOD and DRINK THAT PROMOTE WEIGHT GAIN: Limit consumption of high glycemic foods: starchy foods, breads, white pasta, pastries, donuts, cakes, etc. Avoid sugary drinks: juice with more than 10 grams of sugar per serving, soda, kool-aid, etc. The information provided in the report recommends eating at least 5 servings of a variety of non-starchy vegetables and fruits daily. Eat relatively unprocessed cereals and/or legumes with every meal.
PLANT FOODS It is best to consume a plant based diet. This diet should include a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables that have a variety of colors. I advise eating locally grown or organic food whenever possible. Legumes such as peas, beans and lentils are plant based and provide a good amount of dietary fiber and protein to meet your daily needs. I further recommend consuming grains in their whole form rather than products made from their flour.
ANIMAL FOODS: Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat. If you eat meat, it is better to get them from sources that allow animals to roam in a free-range pasture, not given hormones, antibiotics, or kept in a feed lot. Remember the data from The China Study: humans need to limit their consumption of animal protein to less than 10 percent of their total protein for the day. For example, if a person needs 60 gm of protein per day, then 10 percent is a mere 6 grams. One egg provides 6 grams- that would satisfy your protein needs for the day! Most of us need 0.5 to1.0 gram of protein per kg of body weight. To convert from pounds to kilograms simply divide weight in lbs by 2.2. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs (140/2.2=63) you should try to consume less than 6 grams of animal protein per day.
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS: Limit alcoholic drinks. Women are allowed two to four drinks a week, if tolerated or desired.
PRESERVATION, PROCESSING, PREPARATION Limit consumption of: salt preserved, salty, or salted foods.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet, with targeted supplementation based on your specific needs. This is determined through gene or nutritional testing. At Preventive Medicine we offer Estrogenomics which checks genetic potential for detoxification, bone health, inflammation, and clotting potential. We also offer several options for nutritional testing.
BREASTFEEDING: When considering pregnancy plan on breastfeeding exclusively for six months and continue with complementary breastfeeding thereafter. Breastfeeding is protective for both the mother and child.
CANCER SURVIVORS: Follow the same recommendations for cancer prevention.
TOXICITY: In addition to the above stated recommendations, at Preventive Medicine we address toxicity on many levels. Toxicity can be the root cause of many chronic illnesses. I recommend eliminating all commercial household cleaning products and toxic garden pesticides. Replace them with safe, organic and biodegradable brands. Drink pure filtered water and reduce stress.
We have several tools to assist the body with detoxification, such as Foot Detoxification, nutritional changes, and supplements such as Chlorella. These resources can be found here on our website. Every individual has specific needs and Health Plans are developed based on your consultation and lab results. You may consider doing one of our detoxification lab panels and building a customized detox plan suited to meet your personal needs. Ask a staff member for more information or to schedule a consultation.

People nowadays place great importance in losing their weight. This is because modern society sometimes imposes norms and values, which are based on our appearances rather
than merit. Take for example; those who are more fit in appearances tend to fare better than those who are overweight in getting good jobs. This is a fact although its should not be the case. We can see this all around us that the top paying jobs usually goes to those who look like a god or a goddess. While the obese ones will be the ones bearing the blunts of jokes or ridicule as well.
But there is another and important reason why people are going berserk to lose weight and that is health concern. You probably know that many of the harmful diseases are associated with obesity. Diabetes, heart attack, kidney problems, high cholesterol, you name it – each one of them has roots in obesity! When there are so many reasons to lose weight, can you really afford to live with a fat belly?
Weight loss is not too hard if you get your hands on the basics. Remember that if you are serious about weight loss then you need to make a few changes. The first change is your diet. What do you eat for your breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you always eat burgers, chips, soft drinks, etc.? If yes then it is no wonder that you have accumulated so much fat! These foods are rich in calories. When you eat these foods, the extra calories get deposited in your body as fat.
To shed your body fats, eat low calorie food. Eating low calorie healthy foods helps to remove fats. Foods like vegetables; raw fruits etc are low in calories and are nutritious as well.
High calories food supplies the body with a lot of energy but they do not supply nutrition. By consuming too much calories, what your body does is to store the extra calories as fats in your body. With the fact that many people are lazy to exercise, with excess calories and an inactive lifestyle, the weight will pile up fast.
If you wish to shed those extra pounds quickly, controlling your diet will not be enough. You will need to have regular exercise of one to two hours daily. If you do not like to take up exercising than at least have daily short half hour walks before breakfast or after your dinner. In addition, if you also try to go for a gym for a workout, you will really see results fast!
I lost 40 lbs in 3 months with extreme dieting measures that almost destroyed my health. Spicy food + lots of milk that lead to serious diarrhea every day. I’ve been doing a bit of research after my dramatic weight loss experience and found that there’s actually a PROGRAM designed to do what I attempted, except its basically more healthier and effective.
You can find that specific program at Weight Loss Insider. I recommend you take a look at this Weight Loss Diets and see what they have to say about what you should do to lose 40lbs in 3 months healthily!
The Better Business Bureau is an unbiased non-profit organization that sets and upholds high standards for fair and honest business behavior. In November 2006, the BBB launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative to shift advertising targeting children to encourage healthier dietary choices and healthier lifestyles. There are currently 15 food and beverage companies participating in the Initiative, and the latest company to join the effort is Nestlé USA.
Nestlé has pledged that as of January 1, 2009, 100% of its advertising directed to children under age 12 will be only for products that meet nutritional guidelines of the initiative. Nestlé will no longer advertise WONKA brand candies to children younger than 12 years old. With this announcement, Nestlé will be the fourth candy company in the BBB Initiative to stop advertising candy to this age group. In addition, Nestlé USA will not target any advertising to children younger than 6, regardless of the product’s nutritional profile.
“Nestlé has agreed to only advertise foods to children that meet nutritional guidelines, which means that one of their best selling brands, WONKA candies, will no longer be advertised to kids under 12 years old,” said Elaine D. Kolish, Director of the Initiative. “Nestlé USA has shown a serious commitment to promoting healthier foods for kids not only in the types of products they produce-including milk and juice- but also in their willingness to curb advertising candy to children under 12.”
The company will only advertise Nestlé Juicy Juice 100$ juice, some varieties of Nestlé Nesquik ready-to-drink flavored milk, Nesquik chocolate flavored powder for milk, and Nestlé Push-Up frozen dairy desserts to children between ages 6 and 12.
“Nestlé USA is pleased to participate in the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative and further affirm our commitment to healthier food and beverage choices,” said Scott Remy, senior vice president, Communications, Nestlé USA. “This important initiative is also consistent with our global commitment to nutrition and responsible advertising to children.”
Nestlé USA’s guidelines for healthier dietary choices are based on the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Those guidelines, first published in 2005, include the following requirements for foods advertised to children 6 to 12 years of age:
A juice product must be 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice and the serving size will be limited to no more than 8 fluid ounces and no more than 170 calories
A ready to drink flavored milk must be portion controlled at 100 calories and contains no added sugars
Chocolate powder flavoring for milk must be either 25% reduced in sugar or contain no added sugars and
A frozen dairy dessert must be limited to no more than 100 calories and be an excellent source of a nutrient.

The Better Business Bureau is an unbiased non-profit organization that sets and upholds high standards for fair and honest business behavior. In November 2006, the BBB launched the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative to shift advertising targeting children to encourage healthier dietary choices and healthier lifestyles. There are currently 15 food and beverage companies participating in the Initiative, and the latest company to join the effort is Nestlé USA.
Nestlé has pledged that as of January 1, 2009, 100% of its advertising directed to children under age 12 will be only for products that meet nutritional guidelines of the initiative. Nestlé will no longer advertise WONKA brand candies to children younger than 12 years old. With this announcement, Nestlé will be the fourth candy company in the BBB Initiative to stop advertising candy to this age group. In addition, Nestlé USA will not target any advertising to children younger than 6, regardless of the product’s nutritional profile.
“Nestlé has agreed to only advertise foods to children that meet nutritional guidelines, which means that one of their best selling brands, WONKA candies, will no longer be advertised to kids under 12 years old,” said Elaine D. Kolish, Director of the Initiative. “Nestlé USA has shown a serious commitment to promoting healthier foods for kids not only in the types of products they produce-including milk and juice- but also in their willingness to curb advertising candy to children under 12.”
The company will only advertise Nestlé Juicy Juice 100$ juice, some varieties of Nestlé Nesquik ready-to-drink flavored milk, Nesquik chocolate flavored powder for milk, and Nestlé Push-Up frozen dairy desserts to children between ages 6 and 12.
“Nestlé USA is pleased to participate in the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative and further affirm our commitment to healthier food and beverage choices,” said Scott Remy, senior vice president, Communications, Nestlé USA. “This important initiative is also consistent with our global commitment to nutrition and responsible advertising to children.”
Nestlé USA’s guidelines for healthier dietary choices are based on the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Those guidelines, first published in 2005, include the following requirements for foods advertised to children 6 to 12 years of age:
A juice product must be 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice and the serving size will be limited to no more than 8 fluid ounces and no more than 170 calories
A ready to drink flavored milk must be portion controlled at 100 calories and contains no added sugars
Chocolate powder flavoring for milk must be either 25% reduced in sugar or contain no added sugars and
A frozen dairy dessert must be limited to no more than 100 calories and be an excellent source of a nutrient.
In addition, as provided by the terms of the Initiative, Nestlé USA will:
Restrict the use of third-party licensed characters in advertising primarily directed to children under 12 to products meeting nutrition criteria
Refrain from advertising food and beverages in elementary schools
Not pay for, or seek out, product placement in media primarily directed to children under 12
Limit the use of food and beverages shown in interactive games primarily directed to children under 12 to products that meet its nutrition criteria

One of the biggest weight loss myths is that you have to make huge changes in what you eat to get to your target weight.
Nothing can be further from the weight management truth!
Losing weight is about eating less than your current daily calorie requirements. So if you need 2,500 calories right now, you lose weight when you eat 2,000 calories instead. And all this requires is small, acceptable, everyday changes. Nothing drastic.
To prove this, we’ll use a few real life examples. In each of these examples, we’ll start with an everyday food item and replace it with a substitute that makes sense, so none of that: “Want Ice cream – Eat Carrots instead” stuff. We hope that these examples will show you how simple successful weight management really is – all it requires is a little bit of knowledge of what you’re eating:
1. Fast Food:
A large Double Quarter Pounder Meal at McDonald’s will equal 1,600 calories. Change this to a medium coke and small fries and you’re down to 1,200 calories. Take it a step further and get an iced tea with your Double Quarter Pounder and Small Fries and you’re down to 800 calories!
Now let’s think about this: Is going from a large quarter pounder meal to a custom meal of iced tea, small fries and a quarter pounder, a huge change? We don’t think so – Yet it’s actually saving you 800 calories/meal!
You can also try a combination of a Subway Club Sandwich (at 320 Calories) and a Subway Mustard Ham & Egg Sandwich (at 310 calories). This delicious alternative will total 630 calories per meal.
2. Ice Cream:
3 cups of ice cream = 850 calories. Replace 1 cup with 1 container of Jell-O and you’re down to 700 calories. Replace another cup with a banana and you’re down to 525!
1 cup of ice cream + jell-o + a banana is a still delicious dessert (maybe better than the original) and yet it makes a huge difference.
3. Coke:
1 can of Coke = 150 calories. 1 can of Diet Coke + Lime = 0 calories. Adding Lime makes it taste great and gets rid of that aftertaste as well. Alternatively add lots of ice in your beverage and you end up drinking half the amount in calories.
4. Donuts:
1 Chocolate Donut = 250 calories, 1 Cream filled Donut = 350 calories. There is nothing wrong with eating donuts when managing your weight, simply make a better donut choice.
5. Pizza:
The average slice of a large pizza equals 225 calories. Simply go for the “thin crust” option, (and this is offered in just about every large pizza franchise) and you’re decreasing 75-100 calories per slice!
We Hope We’ve Made a Point!
We simply can not go from a Large Big Mac meal to a diet of apples, broccoli and spinach to lose weight. It makes no real-life, practical sense and it’s simply not going to be sustainable. Not to mention that it’s absolutely unnecessary as well.
Getting to your ideal weight is all about making small changes that don’t burden or completely change your everyday routine. We hope our examples have given you a few ideas for your daily life as well.
