Lower Abdomen Exercises to Reduce Belly Fat Now

It is important to remember that it is not possible to spot reduce however do incorporate some specific exercises that will help you to reduce your belly fat. When you incorporate these into your exercise routine you will enhance any changes you are making like healthy eating and regular exercise.
Do not forget if you reduce your overall body fat by as little as 10% . 30% of that fat loss can be belly fat.
Lower belly fat can be a problem if you have had children or if you lead a very sedentary lifestyle and is a very easy part of the abdominals that are easy to forget but looks awful as it hangs over low cut jeans and gives the appearance of early pregnancy in high wasted trousers and skirts..

Before you start any exercise routine make sure you consult your doctor or health care professional or if you have the resources a personal trainer. Make sure you always warm up with a series of stretching exercises that will prepare your body and warm up your muscles to prevent possible strain of injury.

Be careful of your back, one of the problems that can occur with work-outs that are specifically for the abdomen is that done incorrectly you can end up putting unnecessary strain on your back.

Do not be tempted to do endless crunches those exercises alone will not help you to reduce belly fat.


Try The Crunch-less Crunch

This is a fairly simple exercise but do not be fooled into thinking that is very easy. What you will be doing here is trying to pull your belly button towards your spine and this where we have the difficult part as it may involve using muscles you have not activated for a long while. Having said that it is possible to do to in the breaks in between watching T.V or while lying on your bed if you are being a bit a lazy and regular practice of this will help to strengthen your lower abdominal muscles.

To start, either lie or on your stomach or kneel. If you have been particularly inactive try both ways to see which one feels more comfortable and natural to you. You can also do this standing up.

Keeping your body as relaxed as possible try to use your lower abdominals to pull in your belly button towards your spine. Hold for 10 seconds if that feels easy hold for a longer period. Your ultimate aim here is to hold the contraction in the muscle long enough to either feel other muscles working harder like the transverse muscles or u can no longer feel it.
When that occurs it is time to let the contraction out
Practice this regularly untill you can hold this pose for a long while each time you do it increase the amount of time you hold the contraction for and increase the amount of times you do the exercise.

Alternating Toe Touch

Again you need a nice flat surface for this exercise ther floor is ideal although I always like to do floor work on a yoga mat as this prevents fibres from the carpets or the coldness hard hard surface of tiled floors from making a work out uncomfortable.
You can also use a towel or small cushion to support your back or at least cushion it.
Lie on the floor and pull your knees up to your chest then raise them up into the air.
Extend your right arm and use your lower abdominals to lift your shoulders off the floor.
You will be attempting to touch your left toes with your right hand, then lower yourself back down slowly. Switch hands and repeat.
Keep your knees straight throughout and maintain a space between your chin and chest.. Do these exercises slowly. Always remember that a set of 4 exercises done well is worth a lot more than 10 of 15 reps completed with momentum rather than engaging your muscles and using them to complete the exercise and then the set.

Sit-Up Hold
This is a variation of the old sit up which we know can damage your back and this exercise can be performed on the floor as well. Lie on your back and bend your knees with your feet firmly planted on the floor. Place your hands behind your head keeping your elbows back so that you cannot see them but do not place them along side your head. Use you lower abdominals to lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Hold for 10 seconds. As this exercise becomes easier increase the amount of time you hold the position for. Do not use your arms to lift up your head and shoulders and this will put a strain on your neck. You are just using your hands to support your head
Again do not forget to use you muscles keep them engaged and do not let your self flop back down when you lower your head to the floor. You can increase the amount of times you repeat the exercise as well .

Lower Back Flatten
A good natural progression from the sit-up hold, this exercise starts from the same basic position: lying down, on your back knees bent, feet flat firmly planted on the floor.

As you have been doing these floor exercises you may have noticed that there is a natural space between your lower back and the floor, this is created by the curve of your spine. When you do these exercises, you will want to use your lower abdominals
to push your lower back toward the floor and eliminate the space. Focus on pushing only with your lower abdominals and not your legs.
Notice that your pelvis will rotate slightly, which is perfectly fine so long as it is your lower abdominals that are doing the work.
Hold your contraction for ten seconds, with your back flat on the floor.


All of the above exercises will help you to build muscles that with the right diet will produce shapely abdominals. If you continue to work your whole body increase the amount of repetitions then over time your stomach muscles gain strength and endurance.

Simple Tips to Reduce Belly Fat & Lose Stubborn Belly Fat

Image via Wikipedia

A habit is the act of doing an action, over and over, usually without thought. We asked several nutrition experts about their best (and easiest) lessons for getting in the habit of cooking healthy and eating right. As Jennifer Iserloh, chef and author of "Secrets of a Skinny Chef," said about making healthy diet changes: "There are easy ways you can do it even before you start cooking."
If you really don't have a lot of options for fresh produce, turn to frozen before canned. Many frozen foods are flash frozen right when they're picked, which means they are particularly fresh.

Make Simple Substitutions

One obvious target: Dairy products. Many people think, incorrectly, that 2 percent milk is significantly healthier than whole milk. In fact, one cup of 2 percent milk has 130 calories and 5 grams of fat, compared to 150 calories and 8 grams of fat in whole milk. Whole milk also has 5 grams of potentially heart-damaging saturated fat, while 2 percent milk has 3 grams of saturated fat. Even a switch to 1 percent milk cuts the calorie count to 110 and halves the fat content to 2.5 grams, including 1.5 grams of saturated fat.
The best choice, nutritionally, is skim milk, but some people dislike its watery consistency. An easy solution, Iserloh said, is to try skim milk plus, which has added milk solids for a creamier taste.
Cheese can be a trickier ingredient for substitutions, as many fat-free cheese products do not melt as well as their fatty counterparts. Iserloh's go-to choice for a healthier cheese is part-skim mozzarella, which she says melts beautifully.
"It's lower in fat but still has that ooey-gooey melted cheese factor," said Iserloh, who uses it in everything from classic macaroni and cheese to Mexican dishes like enchiladas and nachos.
Go Half-and-Half
Ground beef is an easy option for getting dinner on the table, but it can be very high in saturated fat. Ground turkey is an obvious lower-fat alternative, but it dries out when it is cooked since fat is the key ingredient to keep proteins moist.
Iserloh suggests making a half-and-half mixture of ground beef and turkey in recipes like meatloaf, nachos and meatballs.
Adding milk or bread also helps keep the moisture level up for ground protein with low-fat content. Iserloh adds one-quarter cup skim milk per pound of ground turkey to help retain moisture and keep the meat tender. "Dairy adds the moisture and keeps the protein from seizing up so much," she said.
Eggs also benefit from the half-and-half treatment. Use one whole egg with two egg whites, prepared in your favorite way, for a delicious compromise that still offers the rich yolky taste, Iserloh said. You can freeze the extra yolks in quart containers or double bagged in plastic baggies and use them later for rich desserts like ice cream or cookies.
Use Healthy Add-Ons

Iserloh's husband is a meat-and-potatoes guy, so she found easy ways to add vegetables to otherwise low-veggie dishes. Grated vegetables like zucchini, carrots or onions add moisture to meat dishes, and are easy enough to prep using a food processor or a box grater.
"Whenever you can get vegetables in, do it," she advised. Plus, getting vegetables in the main entrée means you don't have to worry about making a side dish, which is a great time-saver.
And for an entrée like meatloaf, made entirely with ground turkey, or Iserloh's favorite, turkey Bolognese, grated veggies like carrots can be a great addition. "Just grating an extra carrot in is the easiest thing in the world to do," she said.
Adding canned beans to entrees is another way to boost nutrition with extra fiber, plus this addition helps you feel fuller faster. Iserloh adds mashed navy or cannellini beans to dishes, such as chicken enchiladas.
Eat Locally and In Season
Registered dietician Jill Nussinow, the self-proclaimed "Veggie Queen," has made it her mission to help people get more vegetables into their diets. Nussinow said it's hard to tell which vegetables are in season when looking around grocery stores, because they ship in produce from around the world.
"But once you know what's in season you'll be getting the better tasting stuff, even if it's in the grocery store," she said, because it will be fresher. And, don't be afraid to ask your grocer what's in season.
Better-tasting produce lends itself to simple preparations, like steaming, roasting or stir-frying, which makes cooking easier.
Even regions with cold climates or harsh winters have seasonal vegetables, Nussinow said. Kale can be roasted in the oven to create delicious chips, similar to potato chips (but healthier), and root vegetables are always an option. Nussinow also advocates growing your own sprouts, which is easier to do in the winter because you don't need to worry about humidity and mold.
If you really don't have a lot of options for fresh produce, turn to frozen before canned, which has added preservatives and salt to help it maintain consistency and taste. Many frozen foods are flash frozen right when they're picked, which means they are particularly fresh.
Focus on the Right Veggies

"Not all vegetables are created the same," Iserloh said. Her "fab four" of nutrient-dense vegetables are spinach, broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes.
You get a better bang for your nutritional buck in focusing on these vegetables. "One cup of broccoli has your daily intake of vitamin C," she said. Replace the nutritionally vacuous iceberg lettuce with baby spinach in tacos or mix sweet potatoes in your regular mashed potatoes.
Other great choices are veggies from the cruciferous family, which include cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. And, you can try new ways to use these vegetables. Iserloh recently prepared cashew chicken and tossed Brussels sprouts at the end -- an unusual combination that she said was "so good."



Eating Healthy for One

It can seem like a hassle to go through the effort to cook for a solo serving, but there are tricks you can use to make it worth your while. Writer Laurie Leiker is an advocate of healthy cooking for one through her website LonelyGourmet.com. She advocates the "cook once, eat twice" plan in which you cook a meal and eat half for dinner, saving the leftovers for the next day.
Her tip for adapting a recipe with a large yield: Don't just halve it, which could throw off the seasoning. For instance, if you are preparing chicken fettuccini, make enough pasta and chicken for one or two servings, but prepare the entire serving of sauce according to the directions. You can always freeze the sauce using an ice cube tray, giving you easy access to appropriate serving sizes for later meals.
Leiker also suggests making cooking easier -- thus increasing your motivation to cook -- through changes like swapping minute rice for long-grain rice. "If somebody cooks one extra meal for themselves instead of eating out, you're actually making yourself healthier and you'll enjoy it more," she said.

Reduce Belly Fat Now The Worlds Fattest Nations

Image via Wikipedia

I Found this on Bing today and wanted to share it with you. It is I find a sad and damning acticle on the rise of fast food chains and the illnesses they bring with them.
We unfortunately have lost and are losing the art of creating wonderful home cooked meals opting for the bland or over rich fatty foods we find in our convienient western way of life!
Note I say this because there are nations on this list that I would not have believed to have the rate of obesity they do but with the rise of a more western diet we find a measurable rise in obesity as well. If you are obese then you will be carrying too much belly fat which is dangerous and comes with a host of problems of it's own.

Last updated: 19/06/2010
1
American Samoa
93.5% of its population is obese.

This staggering statistic has been attributed to the fact that the population has abandoned more traditional cooking methods and taken up the cheap, easy food the West has on offer.
2
Kiribati
The second fattest nation suffers from a similar affliction to the fattest. Western foods are cheaper, easier and (in some cases) tastier than traditional alternatives.

The 81.5% obesity rate does the rest of the talking...
3
United States
It shouldn't be too much a of surprise, but the USA of has an astonishing 66.7% obesity rate.

Fast food is cheap and raw ingredients aren't - hence the high number.
4
Germany
Fourth on the list is Germany with a large 66.5% obesity rate.

This can be attributed to a meat and beer heavy diet (for the men at least). Apparently inactivity has played a heavy part in it, too.
5
Egypt
A surprising 66% obesity rate in Egypt can be explained by one social taboo: Women aren't supposed to play sport or exercise as it is most frowned upon.
6
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Obesity was previously something only high-income countries was subjected to. Now 62.9% of Bosnia and Herzegovina is overweight.

This was apparently caused by more people taking to fast food and booze during the war that ravaged the country from 1992 - 1995.
7
New Zealand
Sitting at number seven in our chart is New Zealand which boasts a hefty 62.7% obesity rate.

The native Maori have been piling on the pounds, like many traditional peoples, thanks to ease of access to fattier western foods. They aren't the only ones getting bigger though - the whole country is growing at an alarming rate.
8
Israel
It may come as a bit of a shock to hear that Israel has a 61.9% obesity rate.

The reason behind it? Cheap, easy, fatty western food.
9
Croatia
61.4% of all the people in Croatia fall into the 'obese' category.

Sadly the country has fallen foul of the cheaper, fattier foods that the US and Europe has to offer...
10
United Kingdom
We're great at watching sport, but not so great at getting out there and playing it...

We're so good at watching sport that 61% of the population is fat.

These figures are alarming when you consider that the BBC reprted that there has been a marked rise in operations that deal with obesity like gastric band surgery.
In the UK our national health is creaking under the weight no pun intended of dealing with illness directly related to obesity like diabetes, heart disease certain cancers, to name but a few. Take charge of your life and your health it is easy to prepare meals at home and with carefull planning you will save money.

Reduce Belly Fat-Now Belly Fat and The Menopause

Image via Wikipedia

As we women get older we inevitably find that weight gain occurs when we reach our peri-menopausal state. These are the years that lead up to menopause. Weight gain does not need to be a must if you practice a healthy diet and keep your self active
Hormonal changes make people gain weight although these changes, we exercise less
There are also other factors like lifestyle and genetic ,makeup. Muscle mass tend to diminish with age as well which will slow down the rate we burn calories or metabolism.
Continue to eat as a 21 year old and you will gain weight.
As we age we might find out lifestyle changes cause weight gain de to contentment and not worrying about our weight, divorce, children leaving coming back even the death of a spouse can all plat a role in gaining weight in our older years.

Belly fat is dangerous weather we are 21 or 51 and can have serious implications for health. With the extra weight gain we run the risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure heart disease and stroke. Excess weight brings on other complications like certain cancers including breast and colorectal, there has even been research that suggests if you gain as little as 4.4 pounds |(about 2 kilograms) when you are 50 or over you increase the risk of breast cancer by about 30%.

Although we are not able to reverse the aging process there are things we can do to keep our bodies working at optimum level.


Get moving resistance training, strength training or simple aerobic activity will all help you to maintain a healthy weight. Strength training and resistance training will help you maintain muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently. As a general rule get 30 minutes of physical activity into your daily routine with some strength or resistance training about 2 times per week. If you have weight loss goals then you may need to up the activity level to reach your desired goal.

If you want to lose weight you will have to eat less, even to maintain your current weight you will have to eat less. Do not just reduce calories pay attention to what you are eating and make sure the foods you eat are nutritionally valuable. Do not skip meals as there is always the temptation to over eat when food is in front of you and go for choice cuts of lean protein lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Keep people around you who will offer support when it comes to eating healthy and keeping active involve the family as much as possible everyone will benefit, but do remember that you have to keep motivated for yourself. Take a walk everyday.
Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi are all forms of exercise that engage mind and body and very good for de-stressing. I personally like Kundalini Yoga and am a great fan of Maya Fiennes I also like to do Pilates. Instead of that cookie have a piece of fruit and share restaurant meals with friends.
These simple changes will result in a healthier happier you.

Green Drinks And The PH Miracle Diet

Cover via Amazon

Some quick research of Dr Robert Young’s Book the PH Miracle Diet show that many people who use the program also use green drinks to energise their bodies by boosting their alkalinity levels. I will be going into some detail so you know what the green drinks are and why they are beneficial.

The principle is to alkalise your body and green drinks are a simple and easy way to get more nutrition and boost alkalinity at the same time. The ph Miracle diet works on the concept that by having a simple and basic understanding of why your body is out of balance making the changes becomes much easier.

When you know and understand the key problems that keep a healthier slimmer more energised you at bay is the presence of too many acidic foods in your diet. And that this acid build up in your body causing problems with the functioning of your cells it makes it easier to make changes and break patterns of behaviour.


This negative environment builds up over time making your body’s immune system come under stress, this makes its functions weaker leaving you more prone to illness. Making the transformation to the solution of consuming more alkaline foods will not only make you feel better but also calm a system that is already under stress.

You will give your body the opportunity to heal it self allowing your cells to function as they should and were meant to,
It is easy and simple to infuse your boy with alkalising foods. When you use green drinks one to three times per day. Green drinks are primarily made of sprouted grains, gasses, and green vegetables. The body will receive these healing vitamins, minerals and nutrients repairing the cells and healing your body.

There are many green drinks to choose from. Most will come in powder form which you can mix with water and drink daily. They are easy to find at your local health food store or on the internet. There are plenty out there so it can be a bit overwhelming. Again make sure you read labels so you know exactly what you are getting to ensure the presence of alkalising vegetables.
Personally I use Barley Grass from Safe Remedies but here are some common ingredients found in green drinks;
A; Kamut Grass is good for reducing cholesterol levels. . Also great at boosting your immune system, it adds protein to your diet and is great if you are loosing weight or reducing belly fat.

B. Broccoli is a great cancer fighter and not only is it good for your immune system but it helps with digestion.
C. Dandelion greens aid in weight loss and help to reduce cholesterol levels also an excellent source of iron and calcium.

D; Kale is a bit of a wonder vegetable packed full of vitamin C, Iron Potassium, and magnesium.
E; Help your body after you loose weight with Alfalfa sprouts which helps your body redistribute weight.

Always check the ingredients of your green drink are organically grown. Make sure your green drink does not contain items like algae, pro-biotics or mushrooms as these are all acidic ingredients. Finally make sure that your green drink is not full of unnecessary non nutrient fillers.

How you take your green juice will depend on the manufacturer. Usually though green drinks are taken with water between 1 -4 time per day. Some green drinks are available in tablet form and should always be taken with plenty of water.

If you are just starting on green drinks it is recommended you take about half of the recommended amount for the first week, allowing your body to get used to possible side effects from your body detoxifying.

Green drinks will instantly help you alkalise your body. They do this by neutralising the acids that are in your system. Many people feel an instant increase in energy and a reduction in cravings for sugar and caffeine it has been reported.

Do you hanker after that morning caffeine fix? Can’t move or communicate with anyone without it? Well you could try green drinks for a week and see the difference in how you feel. Another benefit from green drinks is that they help the immune system and reduce the amount of yeast and toxins in the body.

You will feel the difference when you use green drinks as part of your Ph Miracle Diet.
Research and look at all of your options and select a green drink that looks good to you and fits in with your alkalising criteria.

Green drinks are an instant way to improve your health and alkalise your body.

As mentioned I use Barley Grass..

Reduce BellyFat-Now Parasites The Silent Killer

Quotations from an article entitled “The Silent Killers – The Secret World of
Parasites” by Dr. Ross Anderson, ND:
“I believe they are the single most undiagnosed health challenge in the history of
the human race”
“We may live longer, but we are not living healthier”
“There is no part of the human body that is not visited by parasites”
“Only 1% of parasites are ever clinically found”
“Parasites get the best nutrients, and you get the scraps and leftovers”
“The secretions from parasites in our bodies are poisons and toxins”
“You may have a tapeworm and not appear to have any symptoms”
They reproduce by duplicating themselves in a manner similar to bacteria or viral
reproduction” (Referring to the smaller organism – protozoa and amoebas)


“Parasites are not stupid...their sole goal in life is to live & reproduce at our
expense”
“You can get parasites from drinking water”


How dangerous are parasites?
Parasites can pose a serious health threat. Parasitic worms may result in poor absorption of
nutrients, and can contribute to fever, abdominal pain and anaemia.
Disease-causing bacterial parasites (pathogens) include those causing tetanus, tuberculosis and
syphilis.
Water-borne parasites (protozoa/amoeba) can quickly spread through large modern cities due to
the lack of effective controls. Immuno-suppressed individuals, children and the aged are most at
risk.
Can I clear myself of parasites?
Vitaklenz is a blend of herbs traditionally used to stimulate the body's defenses in killing
parasites. The double action of this powerful formula helps the system eliminate both parasites
and candida infestation.
What is Candida?
Yeasts are microorganisms that live on the surfaces of all
living things, including fruits, vegetables, grains and your
skin. They make up part of the "microflora" that contribute to
your health.
Yeast is in fact nutritious and small amounts of yeasts give
bread its good yeasty taste. Yeast is a kind of fungus. Mildew,
mold, mushrooms and candida are all names that are used to
describe different types of yeast.
One family of yeasts, Candida albicans, normally lives on the inner warm creases and crevices of your digestive tract and vagina.
When your immune system is strong, candida yeasts cause no problems. But when you take broad-spectrum antibiotics these drugs knock out friendly germs while they're knocking out enemies. Candida isn't affected by antibiotics, so they multiply and raise large families.
These yeasts put out toxins that weaken the immune system.
How do I know if I have parasites?
Associated symptoms and potential indicators include:
 abdominal bloating
 flatulence (gas)
 abdominal pain
 diarrhea
 constipation
 foul smelling stools
 bowel irritation
 joint and muscle pain
 heartburn
 headaches
 bad breath
 fluid retention
 food sensitivities
 allergy
 sugar cravings
 mental confusion
 fatigue
 malaise
Vitaklenz is an effective herbal treatment - the best way to eradicate parasitic and unhealthy micro-organisms from the gastrointestinal tract.

Intestinal Parasites Robbing You Of Essentail Nutrients Making Your Belly Fat

Image via Wikipedia

AMOEBA, WORMS AND OTHER INTESTINAL PARASITES
Worms and Parasites
There are several types of parasitic worms which can live in human intestines, the most common being pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms.Worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore, cause poor absorption of nutrients.
Signs of worms often include diarrhea, hunger pains, appetite loss, weight loss, and anemia. Diagnosis can be made by examining the stools, or occasionally by inducing the vomiting of worms. The extent of intestinal damage is then determined by the type of worm, the size of the worm, and the number of worms present.
Pin worms are the most common parasitic worm in the United States. The chief symptom of this small, threadlike worm is rectal itching, especially at night. Pinworms are transmitted when the eggs, which lodge under the fingernails when a person scratches, contaminate food. Personal hygiene is most important for the control of pinworms.

Tapeworms can be contracted from eating insufficiently cooked meats, especially beef,pork and fish. The most common tapeworm in the United States is the beef tapeworm,which can grow to a length of 15 to 20 feet in the intestines.
Hookworms are often found in the soil or sand in moderate climates. They can enter the body by boring holes in the skin of bare feet, or can enter the mouth if food contaminated by dirty hands is eaten.
Roundworms are most common in children. These worms can leave the intestines and settle in different areas of the body, causing diseases such as pneumonia, jaundice or seizures.

When a person is afflicted with worms, the body's supply of all nutrients is depleted to the point that supplementation of all nutrients is necessary to restore normal health.
Nutrients of special importance are Vitamin A, the B complex, especially Thiamin, Riboflavin, B6, B12, and Pantothenic Acid; Vitamins C, D and K and Calcium, Iron and protein.

Dietary Deficiency
Animals kept on diets deficient in protein or vitamins A, B1, B2, Biotin, Folic Acid or other nutrients have been infested with many types of parasites, including trichinae, obtained from undercooked pork; and trichomonas, which can grow in the lungs or intestines as readily as in around the vagina. When these same parasites have been
repeatedly implanted in healthy animals however, infestations have not occurred as long as the diet has been adequate.
If a deficient diet is not improved and the parasites are killed by medication, herbals or electro-medical means, re-infestation quickly occurs, but they gradually die out when the diet is made highly nutritious. Both parasites and worms infest animals deficient in
Vitamin A, whereas well-fed controls remain free of infestation. The entire intestines may also be filled with worms when animals are allowed to eat too little of an excellent diet to obtain the nutrients they need, and if the worms are destroyed by medication, the animals died of infections in the intestines.
Although intestinal parasites are surprisingly common, there are no known studies showing the effect of dietary improvement on humans infested with them. It is known that a high intake of refined foods, particularly sweets, which supply little or no nutrient yet satisfy the appetite, cause individuals to become susceptible to pinworms which thrive on sugar.
Research indicates that in any type of parasitic infestation however, the diet should be unusually adequate and refined foods strictly avoided. Yogurt or acidophilus milk, or culture, appears to be especially helpful in cases of amebic dysentery and perhaps all intestinal infestations, and every effort should be made to maintain normal stomach acid, which destroys many parasites obtained from food.
Other researchers have shown that parasites are particularly susceptible to a variety of herbs, which are lethal only to these organisms. To date, there is no known “cure-all” herb which kills all stages of a parasites larvae and eggs. As described, poisons and toxins in the body irritate the tissues, setting the stage for cancer. These same toxins also seem to allow the parasites to breed outside of their normal, natural, life cycle that usually involves leaving the host's body. It seems that with the increase in environmental pollution, the parasites, in the presence of pollutants, can complete their life cycle within the host's body.
Any anti-parasitic treatment must effectively kill all stages of parasite development, and must continue on beyond the normal incubation period of the eggs. Any short term treatment, (such as commercial preparations are) - cannot be effective.
Commercial treatments usually focus on intestinal parasites, and adult worms only. As has been described above, parasites can crawl into the liver, pancreas, brain, lungs, heart,eyeballs - in fact any part of the body. Therefore, a total systemic anti-parasitic system of treatment is imperative. Such a treatment may involve electro-medical devices that destroy the parasite electrically, and pure herbal supplements known to kill all stages of parasite development.

CONCLUSION

There are two trains of thought on the matter and cause of cancers, leukemia, fibroids, HIV AIDS, and other diseases which modern medicine has yet to find a cure.
One train of thought is that modern medicine has the means to cure disease by
introducing toxic and potent drugs that are foreign to the physiology of any living body - human or animal. Or, surgically remove the diseased and suffering and dying organ.
The other train of thought is to harness the healing power of the body by removing the source of irritation, and providing nutrients for the body to build healthy new cells. By stimulating it with naturally occurring substances, such as are found in pollutant free, steroid free, hormone free, organically grown foods and herbs, and electricity - healing
is naturally accomplished.

How Common Are Parasites? Are They Making Your Belly Fat?

How common are parasites?

Do not be fooled into thinking parasites are a “Third World” problem, by some investigating you will find a lot of literature on parasite and the dangers they pose
Well over 80% of people suffering from slight inflammation of the abdomen, unrelated aches and pains will indicate the presence of parasites.

.The information that is in this article comes from the US and Europe. A medical manufacturer from the US put out a pamphlet which reads: “Colon Therapy has an "anthelmitic" action ( meaning parasites are removed). We find that over 90% of the people we examine in our clinics have some form of parasites.

The most common of all are tapeworms. Skilled technicians have reported seeing green, brown, grey, yellow and white ones, and various combinations. Patients also report seeing pieces of tapeworm in the toilet bowl, varying from a few inches to a few feet. (The longest one reported was 57 inches.) Various other parasites are seen, including hook worms pinworms, whip worms and many other exotic forms. Tapeworms are usually of the beef, pork or fish variety.

Do not be misguided Many Vegetarians will also have various parasites. The eggs may be eaten with vegetables or fruit. Thread worms and hook worms can pass through the unbroken skin - and they are sometimes picked up when one walks through the grass.”
In New Zealand, a large full page advertisement for “Combantrin” (a commercial worm preparation), shows a small girl handing a pencil to a classmate. The caption reads:
“The simple act of passing a pencil, sharing a book, using the same doorknob, or even sharing a house with untreated adults is all that is required for parasites to spread - No matter how clean your child may be, and no matter how careful you are. The symptoms caused by parasites may include: Loss of appetite, anal and vulval itching and scratching, disturbed sleep, occasional bed-wetting in younger children. These may seem like common occurrences in childhood, but unfortunately this is because the parasite problem is a common one.”

A patient was told that her daily migraines were caused by parasites in her intestines. She was not surprised by this, and she said she had just returned from Europe where she had taken her children to a doctor. The children had been restless and had indigestion. The doctor told her that he felt the children had pinworms, and it was the parasites, which were causing the symptoms. She told the doctor that she thought it was impossible for her children to have parasites, as she insisted on the highest standard of hygiene. She had not seen any sign of worms in her children's clothes or in their beds. But, the doctor insisted, and told her that over 90% of people in that part of Europe had parasites of one kind or another - so she should not feel ashamed or surprised that her children also had parasites.
Our diagnosis was correct, and when she took the herbs, her migraines and other aches soon disappeared. Yet, this patient had been to a number of doctors, and none of them had been able to do anything to relieve her headaches.
In an interview recorded in a health publication, Dr. William Kelley, famous cancer specialist says: “I find parasites in 92% of people. Everybody - rich and poor -the whole population have parasites. It is not restricted to lower classes at all. Pets are great carriers of parasites. Also, vegetables may carry parasitic organisms.
"One day I had a lady who was a little over 5 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds! She was on a 400 to 500 calorie diet and starving to death. I said to her, ‘You've got so many worms, all you're absorbing is the water!’

"This horrified her! Most people are upset at the thought of having worms. She started a bottle of special supplements I gave her, but nothing happened. So, she went to her family doctor who took a stool culture, but could not find anything.
“The lady decided to finish the herbs by taking it regularly as directed. One night she was lying in her bed, and she felt a tickling in her throat and thought it is mucous. She went to the bathroom and coughed it up, put it in a Kleenex and turned the light on.
The scream she let out woke up her husband, and what they found in the tissue was the head and two more inches of a tapeworm, which had come up in her throat. Lots of times, particularly in children, the tapeworm will come through the nose looking for some more to eat.

“Parasites mimic a lot of disease. Like heart trouble. I found this once in a nurse who had suffered with all kinds of heart trouble and went to doctors for years, whenever she had these heart spells. I said to her “You should have gone to the vet.” She asked why? I said, “Because you have heart worms.” She took her herbs and never had any more trouble.
“Most stomach aches and colitis could have a parasite involvement. Liver damage and liver trouble can often be caused by worms. Sometimes a colony of worms will crawl up in the gall bladder and give you trouble. This can be the trouble with overweight people. The worms are being well fed. The body is only getting the water and the calories but a fraction of the nutrients.”

In a Nutritional Almanac printed by McGraw-Hill and reproduced in part below, we read, "worms irritate the intestinal lining and therefore cause poor absorption of nutrients." Signs of worms may include diarrhea, hunger pains, appetite loss, weight loss and anemia.
In “The Miami Herald” dateline June 25, 1978 an article appeared titled “Worms Outrank Cancer as Man's Deadliest Enemy”. It reads:
“One of every four people in the world is infected with roundworms, which cause fever, cough and intestinal problems. A quarter of the world’s people have hookworms, which can cause anemia and abdominal pain. Another third of a billion people suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by whipworms.”
Not much research is being done on these diseases (i.e. parasite related diseases). The U.S. spends more than $US800 million a year on cancer research. All the nations in the world combined spend less than one twentieth that amount studying parasitic diseases.
Of the amount of money spent on Cancer research, one thing is agreed upon -that toxins and poisons in the body cause chronic irritation of tissues, which results in cancer.
There is also plenty of other evidence that cancer of internal structures such as organs or other tissues is caused by chronic irritation of the cells by toxins in the body.
Almost all the books written by (so called) “quacks” claim that cancer can be cured by cleansing the body and ridding it of parasites and toxins. In other words, once the tissues stop being irritated by excessive quantities of toxins in the blood, the cancer not only stops proliferating, but may actually disappear altogether if the treatment is started in time. (Note that only the medical profession attempts to treat cancer by introducing more toxic drugs to the body.)
