SERRAPEPTASE ENZYME
Dissolve deadly plaque in
arteries and reduce your risk
of heart disease and stroke
• Reduce high blood pressure
• Alleviate arthritis and inflammation
• Clear congestion from the lungs
• Maintain a healthy digestion
“I have found serrapeptase to be an extraordinary substance for safely removing fibrous
blockages from coronary arteries, particularly the carotid arteries found in the neck, which
supply blood brain. For our health purposes, Serrapeptase dissolves only dead tissues such as the
old fibrous layers that clog the lining of our artieries and dangerously restrict flow of blood and oxygen
to the brain. Because of this, Serrapeptase is extremely useful in keeping arterial deposits from
building up again after angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery has been performed.”
DR H A Nieper, Head Dept of Medicine, Paracelcus Klink, Germany; inventor of serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is a natural enzyme produced by the
Serratia bacteria living in silk worms. Once the silk
worm has completed its transformation it uses the
enzyme to dissolve the coccon and escape as a butterfly.
The enzyme dissolves the dead tissue around
the butterfly, but leaves it unharmed.
Dr Nieper a german oncologist and medical
doctor discovered and studied the cardiovascular
and blood cleansing properties of serrapeptase, and
found it very effective for cleaning out the blood
vessels and organs where fibrous tissue has accumulated.
Current medical research has identified
inflammation as the underlying cause of most
chronic diseases, including heart attack and stroke.
Inflammation leads to a build-up of fibrous tissue
and plaque in arteries, joints, intestines, and other
organs in the body.

UNDERSTANDING FOOD SCIENCE AND NUTRITION
Foods contain five classes of nutrients–Carbohydrates, Fats (and Oil), Protein, Vitamins and Minerals.
Understanding the different nutrient classes will provide you with a basic knowledge of nutrition,
information that will help you stay in control of your diet, rather than your diet controlling you.
Carbohydrates: The body digests Carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose that provide cells with
energy. However, only the brain prefers glucose as a quick source of energy. The rest of our organs prefer to
burn fats for energy. Excess sugar is converted into fats and stored in the body. Many plant foods contain
carbohydrates, and good sources include Grains (rice, wheat, rye, barley); Root crops (potatoes, cocoyam)
and Fruits and vegetables (banana, grapes).
Fats and Oils: We cannot survive without fats and oils. Every cell in the body is protected by a membrane
assembled from fats and oils. Fats contribute half of the weight of the brain. Fats and Oils are the building
blocks of many structures in the body, and they are also required to produce many essential chemicals.
Unfortunately, today many people believe that fats and oils are harmful to health. The truth, however, is
that there are good fats and bad fats.
In the absence of good fats, your body uses what it has available–the bad fats, to make repairs and
regenerate body parts which ultimately leads to the construction of weak cells and tissue that are more
prone to diseases. Researchers believe that deficiencies of healthy fats and oils in the body is the biggest
contributor to chronic diseases today.
Proteins: The body digests proteins into amino acids that are essential for repairing and maintaining
our cells and tissues. Amino acids are also an essential component of many chemicals in the body. Protein
digestion requires a lot of energy and consumes a lot of nutrients and diseases that affect the digestive
system will severely affect absorption of amino acids. Protein-rich foods include meat, fish, eggs, pulses,
legumes, spirulina, seeds and nuts.
Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamins and minerals help the body digest and use carbohydrates, proteins,
fats and oils. Vitamins and minerals are components of enzymes and juices that help with food digestion.
Many fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals.
What is a healthy diet?
A healthy diet should contain equal proportions protein, carbohydrates, fats and oils, and ample amounts
of fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals. Drinking at least 1.5 litres of water daily is also part of
a healthy diet. A diet rich in proteins or carbs or fats will cause an imbalance in the body and cause disease
in the long run. A protein rich diet, will divert a lot of energy and resources towards digestion, at the expense
of other bodily requirements such as repairing damaged tissues.

MedB_Mag_Vol8.indd 4 11/01/2016 14:15:20

Why foods today lack nutrients
Studies have confirmed that nutrient levels of our foods have
significantly fallen in the past years and continues to fall. The main
reason for this worrying decline is soil depletion due to continuous
cropping. Food crops grow in the same soil year in year out, without
replacement of lost nutrients. The fertilizers widely used on farms
today contain basic plant nutrients–Nitrogen, Phosphorus and
Potassium. However, plants need dozens of nutrients, many of which
are lacking in the soil today.
A published study of the UK nutrient data from 1930 to 1980 found
that in 20 vegetables, the average Calcium level has declined by 22%,
Iron by 19% and potassium 14%. As recently as 50 years ago, Potatoes
contained sufficient amounts of Vitamin A, but today, potatoes no
longer contain Vitamin A.
Another factor responsible for declining food nutrients is that foods
are stored for long periods before they get to our dining tables. One
study showed that over 90% of oranges from a supermarket did not
contain any vitamin C. Other studies have found that meat and fish
contain much lower nutrients today than 50 years ago.
Food preparation also affects nutrient levels. Grilling, Frying and even
boiling foods will destroy nutrients. Fresh foods contain the most
nutrients. And microwaves cause the most damage to foods. Clinical
studies show that inflammation in the body increases many times
over within a few minutes of consuming a microwaved meal.
Microwaving food destroys nutrients and produces toxic compounds
linked to cancer. Health experts agree that we need to take daily
supplements to stay healthy.
Food Facts
Butter is better than Margarine: Butter contains healthy
saturated fats and oils, unlike margarine that contain
unhealthy polyunsaturated fats or trans fats, that are a few steps away
from becoming plastic.
Your body needs salt: Many people completely remove salt from
their diet with the aim of preventing high blood pressure. Every cell
in the body contains massive amounts of salt required to regulate the
flow of nutrients into cells and control many processes in the body.
A 2014 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine »»
Fats and Oils have a similar
chemical structure but
differ in their melting
points. Fats are solid at
room temperature and
usually derived from
animals while Oils are liquids
at room temperature
and derived from plants.
Scientists calculate that
there are about 37 Trillion
cells in the body. Each cell
is an independent unit,
functioning in the same way
as your body. Cells require
nutrients and excrete waste
and fall ill and get better,
just like your body.
Healthy fats and oils contain
a high proportion of
saturated and monounsaturated
fats and oils. Such fats
and oils are very stable and
do not break down into
toxic compounds when
heated to a high
temperature or when
exposed to air. Examples
of healthy fats and oils are
butter, lard, animal fat and
coconut oil. In contrast,
unhealthy fats and oils have
a weak polyunsaturated
structure that easily breaks
down into toxic compounds
when heated. Unhealthy
oils include vegetable oils
such as sunflower, safflower,
rapeseed, canola and corn
oil.
www.medb.es 5
MedB_Mag_Vol8.indd 5 11/01/2016 14:15:23

found that people who consumed less than 3000
mg of salt daily (lower than the recommended 3500
mg daily) had a 27% higher risk of dying from a
serious condition such as a heart attack or stroke.
Other studies have found no improvement in blood
pressure in people who eliminate salt from their
diet. Instead, these studies reveal a plethora of
health problems that occur when people avoid salt,
from heart diseases and hormonal problems to
digestive problems. Of course with everything in
life, salt should be taken in moderation.
What else is in Milk?: A disturbing reality today
is that milk is promoted as a great source of calcium
and a much-needed food for preventing and
treating bone and joint diseases. Nothing can be
further from the truth. Although milk contains
high amounts of calcium, that calcium is not
available for use by our bones. Before calcium is
absorbed, the bones require an equal amount of
magnesium. But milk contains a lot of calcium but
very little magnesium, making milk a poor source
of calcium. To make matters worse, the calcium in
milk binds to many minerals in foods, preventing
their proper absorption.
Milk is acidic and increases the acidity of the body.
High acidity of the body encourages chronic
inflammation and diseases. An Alkaline body
promotes health.
Milk consumed today also contains antibiotics
and hormones injected into cows to increase milk
production and prevent infections. However drugs
given to pregnant animals filter into their milk,
and it is for this reason that nursing mothers are
advised to avoid medications. Milk promotes mucus
production in the lungs, and intestines and should
be avoided by those suffering from allergic illnesses
such as asthma and digestive disorders.
Most milk especially UHT or long life milk is
irradiated milk, and irradiated food contains no
living enzymes. Many people have argued that adult
humans are the only adult animals on earth that
consume milk, suggesting that milk is no food for
adults. Rice milk, Almond milk and Coconut milk
are suitable alternatives.
Why Wheat is bad for you: The wheat eaten today
is a genetically modified form of wheat, completely
different from the original wheat that has existed
for centuries. In the mid-1970s wheat was
genetically modified to improve its yield and boost
food supplies. The process was successful, but the
resulting crop had extremely high levels of the
toxins that naturally occur in wheat. Most grains
such as wheat and corn contain toxins, but at levels
that the body can tolerate.
Studies show that since the mid-1970s when wheat
was genetically modified, the incidence of many
chronic illnesses, especially Diabetes and heart
disease, has increased disproportionately compared
to previous years. Coeliac disease, diverticulitis,
diabetes, weight gain, strokes and heart attacks are
all directly linked to a diet rich in wheat.
Foods prepared from wheat dramatically increases
sugar levels. Two slices of white or brown bread
increase blood sugar level more than six teaspoons
of sugar. The alternative to wheat and wheat based
foods are rye, corn, rice, oats and porridge. The
original form of wheat is still available and is called
Spelt Wheat.
According to Studies published
in the Journal of Agricultural
and Food Chemistry, A single
glass of milk can contain up to 20
different drugs including Antiinflammatory
drugs – Diclofenac,
Naproxen, and ketoprofen.
Reasearchers from
Greeninfo.com have
identified over 200
health conditions and
adverse health effects
associated with wheat
consumption.

Reduce your blood pressure with
Olive Leaf Extract
The health benefits of Olive tree extract is
well known and well documented. Olive leaf
contains a bitter chemical, oleuropein, which
gives the leaf many of its healing qualities.
Oleuropein is also in olive oil and is responsible for
the unique flavour and healing benefits attributed
to the oil.
In the 1960s, scientists discovered that oleuropein
lowers blood pressure in animals, and since then
other studies have shown that it improves cardiac
function in humans by increasing blood flow in
the coronary arteries, and reducing arrhythmia.
Oleuropein heals the damaged lining of blood
vessels, helping to prevent heart disease, strokes
and erectile dysfunction.
Olive leaf extract is prepared by soaking fresh olive
leaves in a container with about 40% grain alcohol,
using three parts of Alcohol to 1 part leaves. Chop
the leaves finely and cover with a fine non-rusting
lid for 6-8 weeks, shaking the container every other
day.
Then empty the filtered liquid into small droppers.
You can reuse the leaves for the next batch. The
dose is a few drops three times daily. Teas can be
prepared by boiling the leaves for a few minutes,
but they are much weaker.
Relieve Joint and Muscle Aches and Pain with MSM
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is the most vital nutrient required by the body to build
and maintain strong and healthy joints and bones. MSM occurs naturally in the body,
and is used to make collagen- an important component of our bones, joints, skin and
hair. More so than calcium your body needs MSM to build bones, joints, skin and hair.
For this reason MSM has been called the ´beauty mineral´
MSM is a powerful painkiller and anti-inflammatory agent and studies have shown that
MSM is more effective than prescription medications for treating Rheumatodid arthritis,
Osteoarthritis, Frozen shoulder, Muscle cramp, Neck pain and Back pain.
Pure Plant-based MSM from MedB

7 Most Nutritious foods
Kale: Kale is probably the most nutritious
of green leafy vegetables. 100 gms Of Kale
contains 2- 10 times the recommended
daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin A, B6,
C, K1 and potassium, magnesium, calcium
and manganese. Kale also
contains many other vitamins, minerals
and countless other beneficial nutrients.
Kale contains isothiocyanates and
indole-3- carbinol compounds that have
been shown to fight cancer in test tubes
and animal studies.
Salmon: Salmon is packed full of essential
Omega-3 oil. And Omega-3 is necessary
for maintaining the heart and nervous
system. Salmon is also an excellent source
of proteins, selenium and many vitamins
and minerals including vitamin B
complex, Vitamin D, magnesium and
potassium.
Seaweed: Seaweed is a broad term for
many plants that grow in the sea, many of
which contain more nutrients than land
plants. Seaweed is rich in minerals such
as manganese, calcium, magnesium and
iron. However, Seaweed is unique among
plants because they are excellent sources
of iodine.
Broccoli: Broccoli is without a doubt the
most useful food for fighting
cancer. Broccoli and other members
of the cruciferous family: Kale, Brussel
sprouts and cabbage, contain more
variety of cancer-fighting chemicals than
any other group of plants. Many studies
have shown that people with a diet rich in
broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables
have lower incidences of many types of
cancer including cancers of the lung, bowel
and breasts. Broccoli also has impressive
quantities of sulphur containing
compounds that fight infections.
Dark Chocolate: Dark Chocolate has
more antioxidants than any other food.
Antioxidants counteract toxic free radicals
that damage the heart and brain
causing diseases such as heart attacks,
strokes and Alzheimer’s. Dark chocolate
is also a good source of some nutrients
including magnesium. Some studies show
that dark chocolate prevents diabetes.
Avocados: Avocados contain many nutrients,
especially healthy fats such as
stilbesterol that regulates cholesterol.
Avocados also contain impressive amounts
of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant
that protects the body against toxic free
radicals that trigger inflammation.
Beans: Beans contain many different
nutrients, with black beans containing the
most nutrients. They are good sources of
protein and soluble fibre. Soluble fibre
controls blood sugar, a benefit for people
suffering from diabetes. Beans also
contain high amounts of magnesium, that
helps reduce blood pressure and prevent
constipation.

MitoQ
Because disease and ageing start at the
cellular level
HOW LONG HAS it been since you felt
radiant, rested, and fully alive?
The chances are good that if you’re over
the age of about 35, it’s been a while.
Maybe it started as mild tiredness, and you wrote it
off to stress or too much to do. But over time, you feel
more and more sluggish.
Do you ever wonder if the vitality of your youth is
gone forever?
If this sounds familiar – you’re not alone, and you
do not just imagine it, either!
Your body was made to produce a powerful source
of fuel – Co-enzyme Q10 – for the energy producing
engines in your body called mitochondria.
There’s just one problem. Your body’s ability to produce
coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q10), starts to decrease as
you age. In fact – at age 50, you produce half of the
Co-Q10 you did in your 20s!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t need only half
the energy I did back in my 20s!
And while it would be nice to feel more energetic –
that’s not even the worst symptom of not getting
enough of this vital nutrient.
Co-Q10 affects things like your heart health and
your brain. It has implications for cardiovascular
disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and even cancer.
When your body decreases its Co-Q10 production,
you’re increasingly at risk for significant health
issues that can seriously decrease your quality of
life in your later years (and even risk your very life
itself)!
You’ve probably seen supplements at your favorite
drug store, but before you purchase one, there’s
something you should know.
If they weren’t produced in the way described below,
you’re just throwing money away.
You See, Co-Q10 is a very special nutrient, and most
supplements are produced in such a way that
your mitochondria simply can’t absorb the
Co-Q10 you’re providing, so it’s wasted.
Until now.
Introducing a breakthrough in Co-Q10
production – MitoQ
This revolutionary supplement was produced by
two pioneering researchers from Cambridge
University, who found a way to deliver the
Co-Q10 straight into your body’s energy
producing cells – the mitochondria – exactly
where your body is ready to produce the energy
you need to protect and revitalize your heart,
brain, and all of the cells in your body.
In short – it’s exactly what you need for your
body to look and feel revitalized and full of
energy once again.
But the only way to experience this kind of
radiance and energy again is to try it for yourself.

For the last six months, I have
suffered dizziness, a foggy head
and occasional headaches. I am
65 years old, and I´ve enjoyed
excellent health until now.
My doctor referred me to a
neurologist who prescribed
atorvastatin and SERC, but they
haven´t made any difference in 3
months. My blood pressure and
ECG are normal. I´ll appreciate
your help.
Q and A
Many people come to us complaining of similar symptoms and most of the time, our
diagnostic scan detects hardening of the arteries of the brain as the most likely cause.
When we treat the hardening of arteries, the symptoms usually disappear.
Hardening of arteries or Atherosclerosis progresses very slowly, eventually giving rise to
diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. The hardening results from injury to walls of arteries
which attracts clotting cells to start repairs.
But the injury usually continues unchecked due to inflammation, causing clotting cells to
accumulate on the walls of the arteries to form plaques that eventually block the arteries. Contrary
to what many people believe, high cholesterol is not responsible for blocked arteries. The plaque
that eventually clogs arteries consists of clotting cells and other debris and contains very little
cholesterol. Clogged arteries limit blood flow to the affected organ causing symptoms related to
the organ.
The underlying cause of hardening of arteries are toxins that trigger inflammation of the arteries.
At our clinic, we successfully treat symptoms similar to yours using serrapeptase, a natural enzyme
that dissolves plaque and other unwanted tissue from the body. (See page 2 for more information)
Another common cause of dizziness is low haemoglobin resulting from vitamin and mineral
deficiencies. Very frequently, a blood test may show normal haemoglobin even when there is
existing anaemia. Low haemoglobin is best treated with a concentrated and well-formulated
multivitamin. Nevertheless, it is important to carry out a full body scan to determine the actual
cause of your problems.

High Blood Pressure Medications and
Erectile Dysfunction.
A
high proportion of people taking high blood pressure medications will develop Erectile
dysfunction a few years after starting medications, according to clinical studies. What
isn’t well known is that erectile dysfunction (ED) is a disease of the arteries, just like heart
attack and strokes. Penile erections and Blood pressure are controlled in a similar manner with the
contraction and relaxation of arteries to control blood flow. Before an erection can occur, blood
must flow from the arteries of the penis into spongy spaces inside the penis to engorge them with
blood and bring about an erection.
Any disruption to the process will cause Erectile dysfunction and the commonest cause of this
disruption is damage to the walls of the arteries that reduces the production of Nitric Oxide (NO),
a chemical required for penile erections. Also necessary for successful erections to occur are
enzymes required to produce NO and those that stop erections from coming to a premature end.
Drugs that claim to help ED such as Viagra work by enhancing enzymes that maintain erections.
Drugs used to treat high blood pressure will only reduce blood pressure without correcting the
cause of high blood pressure which is typically damage to arteries. Such drugs may even worsen
the damage to arteries and contribute to erectile dysfunction.
If you must take blood pressure medications, there are steps you can take to reduce the damage to
your arteries. Omega-3 Oil from foods like salmon and mackerel or taken as supplements reduces
inflammation of the arteries. Fresh fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants and help reduce
inflammation and damage to arteries. At MedB clinic, we have successfully treated erectile
dysfunction using a combination of agents to repair damaged arteries and sustain erections.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
People suffering from Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) also known as Myalgic Encephalitis
(ME) suffer not only the debilitating effects of the illness but sometimes the psychological
trauma from family members or healthcare professionals who may be ignorant of the illness
and dismiss it as psychosomatic or even worse, a fabrication. But chronic fatigue syndrome is no
minor illness. It is a severe and chronic illness causing extreme tiredness, joint pain, digestive
disorders, sleep disturbances and a host of other symptoms.
For people suffering Chronic Fatigue Syndrome even normal activities such as taking a shower
can cause extreme exhaustion requiring a few hours of sleep to regain strength. The diagnostic
scans performed at MedB clinic show that people diagnosed with CFS have inflammation of the
digestive, immune, detox and hormonal systems. Also, there may be harmful microbes and
high levels of toxins like mercury, lead and mycotoxins. Extreme sensitivity to foods and
environmental chemicals is also commonly seen in CFS sufferers.
Proper management and treatment of CFS should start with performing a full body diagnostic
scan to get a detailed picture of the state of health. No two cases of Chronic fatigue syndrome will
present the same way. The common thread between sufferers is extreme fatigue, but the cause of
fatigue will vary from person to person. The therapy used at MedB clinic that has helped many
patients involves clearing the body of microorganisms and toxins, correcting hormonal
imbalances, and treating any other problem detected from a diagnostic scan.

Colloidal Silver: The Universal
Antibiotic
Silver has been used for thousands of
years as an antibiotic. Ancient cultures
used silver pots to store water, with
the knowledge that it will protect them
against diseases. Silver dressings and products
are currently used in specialist hospitals to
speed-up the healing of wounds.
The international Space station and the
Russian Space station use colloidal silver to
purify water. Most recently, silver has been
recommended for use in surgical instruments
and silver coated catheters, to prevent MRSA
infections. .
Colloidal Silver was recognised as a powerful
antibiotic as soon as it was first discovered by
Dr Silver in 1906, but it fell out of favour
decades later, when antibiotics became
available. And today, with the rise of antibiotic
resistant microbes, colloidal silver is making a
come-back as the preferred antibiotic of choice
for a variety of infectious diseases.
that colloidal silver is a powerful antibiotic.
In the 1980s, studies carried out at the
Syracuse University and the UCLA School
of medicine showed that colloidal silver
was highly effective against bacteria,
viruses, and fungal microbes, including
those that had become resistant to antibiotics.
Recently studies at the University
of Texas suggested that colloidal silver
may be effective against HIV-1 virus.
Colloidal silver has absolutely no side effects.
The particles of silver in colloidal silver are
extremely tiny, making it impossible for any
form of toxicity to occur in the body. The
cosmetic side effect of argyria (greying of the
skin) is only seen when people consume silver
salts and solutions that are not fit for human
consumption.
Several scientific studies have demonstrated

Nutrient Draining Drugs
Prescription drugs can be great for relieving symptoms, but not so good for treating the cause
of diseases. Prescription drugs relieve symptoms by interfering with the receptors or
gateways of cells, gateways that control the movement of substances into and out of cells.
For example, some drugs prescribed for high blood pressure lower blood pressure by causing the
kidneys and adrenal glands to secrete less of chemicals that constrict blood vessels and raise BP.
But by doing so, such drugs will cause an increased loss of potassium and other minerals, resulting
in even more serious problems.
Diuretics reduce blood pressure by draining water from the body, but they also drain a lot of
nutrients including Vitamins B and C, potassium and magnesium.
Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs affect nutrient levels by
reducing appetite.
Antibiotics deplete the body of nutrients by interfering with
their absorption. Tetracycline, for example, reduces the
absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.
Drugs used to treat acid burns prevents the production of
stomach acid, but this acid is important for absorption of many
nutrients.

Some drugs especially steroids and some antibiotics increase the

And then there are drugs that deplete nutrients by interfering
with their production at the cellular level. Statin drugs
prescribed for lowering cholesterol are a typical example, and
they block the production of CoQ10, a chemical required for
energy generation.

Repair Your Body With YTE
YTE IS THE extract of fertilized chicken
eggs incubated for nine days and
carefully extracted to preserve the
unique blend of nutrients found
nowhere else in nature.
Canadian Medical Doctor, Dr Davidson first
discovered the healing powers of YTE in the
1930s. While studying chicken eggs, Dr Davidson
found that on the 9th day of incubation, the
eggs undergoes a tremendous growth spurt that
triples the size of the embryo. He theorized that
the chicken egg on day nine must contain
concentrated forms of the most vital nutrients
for maintaining life. And he was right.
Since the 1990s, several studies have confirmed
that 9-day old chicken eggs contain nutrients
that are the source of life. These nutrients include
all 22 Amino Acids, Polypeptides, Oligopeptides,
Neuropeptides, Growth factors, vitamins,
minerals and a host of other nutrients.
But Above all, YTE contains FGF (Fibroblast
Growth Factor) which initiates the
regeneration and repair of damaged organs
in the body.
Because YTE is packed full of life giving
nutrients, most people who take it notice a difference
in their health in days rather than weeks or
months.
Other Benefits:
• Deep and Refreshing Sleep
• Increased Stamina
• Enhanced Memory
• Reduced Phyiscal and Mental
Stress

Loneliness affects our
immune system
For decades scientists have demonstrated that the
immune system of lonely people functions
differently, seeming to encourage the type of
inflammation linked to chronic diseases.
Lonely people also have low levels of interferon, a
naturally occurring antiviral compound.
A study from the University of Chicago clearly linked
loneliness to heart diseases and sleep dysfunction. One
recent study showed that lonely people have a lower
immune response to herpesvirus than people who have
company.
KNOW YOUR MINERALS: Selenium
Selenium prevents the growth of cancer cells and destroys already formed cancer cells. Studies
show that geological areas with little or no selenium in the soil seem to have very high rates
of cancer.
Selenium is present in every cell in the body, and its main function is to remove toxins or
contaminants from the body. Toxins, especially those known as free radicals, are recognised as the
underlying cause of many chronic diseases including cancer. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant,
capable of neutralising these toxic free radicals and prevent cancer growth.
Selenium also helps prevent thyroid diseases by
converting the inactive form of thyroid hormone (T4) to
the active form (T3). Many people with thyroid problems
may be suffering from selenium deficiency. Selenium is
required to maintain the immune system and prevent
infections, allergies and autoimmune diseases. Excellent
food sources of selenium include Brazil nuts, shellfish
(lobster, crabs), Whole Grains, Oats, Fish.

Men and Women have different brains … Not really
Scientists from the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine have debunked the widely held
belief that the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memories and
emotions is larger in females than in males. The team collected a large volume of data, and
after measuring the MRI volumes of the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for emotions
and memories), found no differences.
Until now, the assumption has been that the brains of men and women are significantly
different, and this explained the perceived differences between the sexes. Researchers have
sort to find the difference in brain structure between men and women, but according to the
lead researcher of the study, “There is no difference in the sizes of the hippocampus, nor do
men and women differ in the way the right and left brain process language.

Living Alone in
Retirement
Today more than ever, more people in retirement are living alone many of whom have never
had children. Even so, a growing number of people with adult children are now living far
away from them. While those who have always lived alone may have developed the knack
to do so, others who find themselves living alone either from the loss of a spouse or other reasons
may find it difficult to cope alone. Either way, there are problems that come with living alone,
especially with advancing age.
Loneliness: Loneliness is surely the most difficult aspect of living alone. We humans are social animals
and we crave each other´s company, and some needing this more than others. Recent studies show that
older people who have no one to talk to from one week to another suffer more chronic ailments than
people who have regular company. Finding reliable friends is certainly not easy, but when you consider
that there are many people just like you, who are seeking friendship and companionship, you realise that
more people are eager to meet you than you think. Participating in social activities such as dancing and
games as well as in community events, is a good way to meet people. The internet is also a good platform
for meeting people that share similar interests as you. Pets also make very good companions.
Safety and Security: Security and Safety is a big worry for older people living alone, especially when they
have a health problem. What will happen if I pass out when I’m alone? What will happen to me if I´m no
longer able to speak for myself? It is important that you list your fears to know what they are, and then do
something about them. If you suffer a health problem and you are worried about passing out and no one
finding you, you should consider having an alert system that provides round the clock surveillance. People
without close relatives should appoint a proxy such as a specialist lawyer to act on their behalf in case of
emergencies. You should have your will clearly written and document the choices you wish to make if you
are no longer able to speak for yourself.
Nutrition: A healthy diet will keep you healthy and independent for as long as possible. You may believe
that ageing goes hand in hand with illnesses, but from many accounts, it appears that the human body is
capable of staying healthy up to the last days or weeks of our lives. Of course, we slow down with age.
Exercise: Exercises are important not just for the body, but also for the mind. Those who have formed the
habit of exercising regularly, suffer fewer health problems and have more self-confidence than those who
don’t exercise. Exercising the mind is equally as important as exercising the body. One of the biggest fear
of ageing is losing the mind to diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Studies show that those who actively engage
their minds are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Brain stimulating activities such as reading,
crossword puzzles, quizzes, Sudoku, etc. are good ways to keep the mind active.

Eliminate Toxins from Your Body
with Pectasol
Imagine spending your life in a house that is never cleaned. The human body without
proper detoxification (or clean-up), is exactly the same as that house. Every day we
are exposed to dozens of toxic compounds that cause chronic diseases. From prescription
drugs to household cleaning products, cosmetics, plastics and even drinking
water, we are surrounded by potential sources of deadly toxins that contaminates the
body.
Researchers have calculated that the average person has inside them over 100 deadly
toxins such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium, mycotoxins (from moulds), DDT, insecticides,
BPA (from plastics) and many others. These toxins accumulate in all our organ,
and over time cause chronic health problems such as memory loss, high blood pressure,
arthritis, diabetes, dementia, sexual dysfunction and premature ageing.
Pectasol is the only orally taken natural detox that has been rigorously tested and shown
to remove many different kinds of toxic chemicals from the body.
Research has also shown that Pectasol binds to a cancer causing chemical in the body
called Galectin-3
Pectasol helps people suffering from Tiredness, Heart and artery disease, memory loss
and dementia, rheumatoid arthritis as well as asthma.
Dose: 2 capsules in the morning,
and then drink at least 1.5L
of water all through the day.
Bottle of 90 capsules -€64.75
