Are Pain Killers Causing Your Headaches?

By Dr. Larry A. Johnson, D.C.
What should you do when you have a tension or a migraine headache? What should you do when you are experiencing chronic pain? Take a pain pill, right? WRONG! Most people don't have a second thought when it comes to taking analgesics for their chronic headaches or other assorted aches and pains, but research from the St. Louis University School of Medicine demonstrates that "analgesic use seems to be the primary factor in promoting the development of chronic pain." It was found that painkillers, instead of helping relieve the chronic pain, can actually be the cause of it.
"The best thing a person with chronic headaches can do is get off the painkillers," says Paul Duckro, associate professor of psychiatry at St. Louis University. "In our studies, two-thirds of the chronic headache sufferers benefited from the withdrawal of medication." Two-thirds of the chronic headache sufferers not only did not get rid of their headaches with the medications they were taking, but increased their severity through the use of analgesics.
"Evidently, at a certain point in a chronic sufferer's intake of analgesics (including aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and the stronger narcotic painkillers), the headache becomes drug-induced. In an irony of biology, a substance intended to reduce pain becomes a factor in producing it." Ibuprofen is the "pain-relieving" ingredient in Advil, Motrin IB, Nuprin and many other headache medications. Acetaminophen is the active "painkilling" ingredient in Tylenol. You should be aware that these popular medications may be hindering your recovery from your chronic headaches. And even worse, the medications that are supposed to be relieving your pain may actually be the cause of it.
According to Duckro: "The person takes some aspirin, but the pain increases. So the person takes some more aspirin. Then the person begins to take aspirin in anticipation of the pain, thinking, 'If it's this bad when I'm taking medicine, it's going to be unbearable without.' Gradually, the person - and it's more often a woman - gets a headache whenever the medicine is not being taken." (Duckro is director of St. Louis University's Biobehavioral Treatment Center, which has its own headache management program).
Dr. William Bennett, head of nephrology at Oregon Health Sciences University, estimates that over-the-counter painkillers are responsible for as many as 20% of the 125,000 cases of end-stage kidney disease in the United States. All drugs have side effects. These can include dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, liver damage, kidney damage, internal bleeding and many other symptoms including death. We have always known and recognized these possible negative consequences from ingesting drugs (unless we don't read the labels), but we continue to take these analgesics by the mega millions with the hope of relieving our pain and discomfort.
There is no guarantee that if we take a pain pill for our chronic migraine headaches, stomach aches or other types of pain it will actually eliminate the pain. There is also no guarantee that we won't experience unwanted reactions to the drug itself. But when the pain gets so bad we often decide that the possible relief outweighs the risk associated with the analgesic.
But what most of us do not realize is that there may be one more consequence from taking medication for chronic headaches. We may find that the analgesics are actually the cause of the symptoms, that without them we wouldn't be having so many headaches. If you suffer with chronic headaches you may find that the pills you are taking are actually inducing your discomfort. And you may also discover that when you stop taking the medication you begin to experience fewer chronic migraines. After all, according to the director of St. Louis University's Biobehavioral Treatment Center two-thirds of the chronic headache sufferers benefited from the withdrawal of medication.

Can the Cure for Headaches be Worse Than the Pain?

By Dr. Larry A. Johnson, D.C.
Many drugs that were previously available only through prescription are now available over-the-counter. Today drugs are so common and easily obtained people just assume they are safe. After all, would multi-million dollar companies offer drugs for sale if they weren't safe? Wouldn't the FDA ban medications that could harm or possibly even kill you? Sure, if they knew they were dangerous. But the method of determining which drugs are safe and which drugs are deadly may surprise you. Many times the tests are determined through the use of guinea pigs, which very likely includes you.
Drugs are allowed for sale to the public with the assumption that they are safe. Then, once the public begins using a particular drug in masses the negative side effects will start appearing, side effects that can include dizziness, nausea, internal bleeding, blood pressure increases, heart problems and even death. Not too long ago there were diet pills containing ephedrine that the public was going crazy for. But ephedrine failed its "public test" when it was discovered that it caused death. Tylenol (active ingredient: acetaminophen) is often used for migraine headache relief, but kills people every year because of the liver damage it can cause. Even Ibuprofen and aspirin, pain killers often used for migraine headaches, can be deadly for some. Although the risk is small it is still a risk that should not be taken lightly.
The October 1995 Archives of Internal Medicine reveal the startling results of a study that reviewed the overall effects of prescription drugs on health and well-being. According to the authors, “drug related illness” (from LEGAL drugs) should be considered a “leading disease” in its own right. In 1992, about 200,000 people in the United States died as a result of complications from legal prescription medicine. This does not include over-the-counter drugs or illegal drugs.
Incorrectly prescribed medications kill approximately 180,000 people each year. Only about 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank and yet this horrific and preventable event was, and still is, world news. It changed forever the perception and practice of sea travel, ship construction and passenger safety. But when 180,000 people die, the equivalent of about 120 Titanics sinking each year, hardly anyone even takes notice. As reported in 1994 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, incorrectly prescribed medications kill an estimated 180,000 people each year. This claims more American lives annually than crime and car accidents combined.
Some people experience such severe migraine headaches they seek the help of a doctor. But doctors are not immune to errors either. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported recently that iatrogenic illness (illness caused by medical errors or reactions to drugs and medical treatment) has become the third largest killer of Americans, exceeded only by heart disease and cancer.
A team of medical doctors, lawyers and analysts at Harvard University conducted the largest and most comprehensive investigation of medical malpractice and concluded that 75,000 Americans are killed every year by medical treatment through gross negligence. That is equivalent to 50 Titanics sinking per year. For all their successes, doctors must contend with the fact that many people become sick from either medical errors or reactions to their drugs or medical treatment. Where are the headlines? The outcries?
And the number of deaths due to drugs continues to rise. USA Today, on February 27, 1998, reported that the number of deaths caused by prescription drug errors increased at a rate only exceeded by the number of deaths caused by AIDS. In 1983, 1 out of 539 outpatient deaths was due to a medication error (wrong dosage or wrong drug). By 1993 however, 1 out of every 131 outpatient deaths was due to a medication error.
Admittedly, doctors do save lives and help ease people's pain. They perform a great duty that should not go unheralded. But pain sufferers should start taking responsibility for their own actions. Nobody is more concerned about your health than you are, not the doctor, not the nurses, not your neighbors. Search out and study all of the information that is available before taking a medication that could cause bodily harm. Pain sufferers should ponder both the pros and the cons, the possible pain relief and the possible dangers of the drugs they may end up ingesting.
Deepak Chopra, M.D. in his book Quantum Healing states “The frustrating reality, as far as medical researchers are concerned, is that we already know that the living body is the best pharmacy ever devised. It produces diuretics, painkillers, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, antibiotics, and indeed everything manufactured by the drug companies, but it makes them much, much better. The dosage is always right and given on time; side effects are minimal or nonexistent; and the directions for using the drug are included in the drug itself, as part of its built-in intelligence.”
"Is the possible pain relief worth the risk?" This is the question that you should be asking yourself.

Why You Do *Not* Want To Lose Weight

By Dr Kem Thompson
Losing weight is one of the commonest resolutions that peoplemake every year. Yet obesity and overweight are on the increase.
Makes you wonder what is wrong with that picture.
What makes it such a difficult goal to accomplish or stick to?
Well there are several things, but for now let's talk about themost important reason.
It's the way you state the goal.In other words, it's the command you're giving to your subconscious mind. Your mind functions to attract and bring about the physical form of what you think about.
You say, 'I want to lose weight'.
Your subconscious mind reads that statement as 'I have excess weight', or 'I don't have weight loss' because that's what you're implying when you state your goal that way. That's thethought behind that statement.
There are 3 main problems with stating your desire this way.
- Since the predominant thought behind the statement is'abundant weight' or 'excess weight', that is what you get.Remember, you get what you think about most of the time. You become what you think about - it's the way your mind works, whether you're aware of it or not.
- Since there is also a thought on 'losing weight', thereis the danger of your subconscious finding creative ways to help you lose weight, for example you could have an accident and lose a limb or something. You'd weigh less then, for sure.Not quite what you had in mind I'll bet.
- Your mind is designed to bring about what's best for you.So it doesn't want you to 'lose' anything. If you talk aboutlosing weight, your mind will do everything to help you findit.
You can see how stating your goal the wrong way can set youup to lose the battle right from the start.
Many 'weight loss' programs fail because they deal with external activities without paying attention to what's goingon in your mind. Yet your mind is what decides the resultsyou get. The programs that teach you the right way to thinkare the ones that will help you maintain any weight level youseek.
A program that focuses on 'weight loss' is inadvertently focusing on attracting weight because that's the predominantthought throughout the program.
How should you state your goal then?
First of all you need to understand that 'weight' in itselfis not the issue. What the weighing scale reads, is notthe threat you face. Your threat is excess fat. Muscle weighsmore than fat, so if you've got a lot of lean muscle, you'dprobably weigh more than someone who has the same amount of fat, yet they're are the ones in greater danger, healthwise.
This is one of the flaws of the BMI measurements that areso popular. Body Mass Index measurements measure your weightagainst your height. They *are* useful indicators of weight-related health risks, but because they do not take accountof the source of the weight (fat or muscle), the readingscan sometimes be misleading.
If you desire to 'lose weight', a better way is to speak in terms of 'releasing fat'. The best way to state a goal is in the present tense.
So you could say 'I am releasing at least 500grams of excessfat every week' or you could say 'I weigh....(state yourdesired weight) of lean muscle and 10% body fat (if that'syour desired body fat percentage level)'.
Those are examples - try them on for size. Better yet, come up with ones of your own.
Notice how you feel when you rephrase your weight goals thatway. Notice the shift in energy behind those words.
Now here's a paradigm shift for you:
what if your goal statement had *nothing* to do with weight or fat. What if your goal statement focused on 'health'. Do you think you could achieve your ideal weight with that sort of goal statement?
Absolutely! This is, in my opinion, the best way to statea 'weight' goal.
Here's the thing: a perfectly healthy body is not over-weight.It's not under-weight either. When you are in perfect, truehealth, your body *naturally* releases excess fat and holds ontojust what it needs to function perfectly.
So here's my challenge to you.
Don't join the masses who obsess about their body weight. A wiseman once said that if you see the majority doing something, you'dbetter go the other way.
Be one of the few people who are truly 'health conscious'. What you are conscious of is what you attract. So state your goalas 'I am perfectly healthy now', and focus on that thought, for that is what you'll attract.
When you look in the mirror and what you see doesn't reflectyour goal, remind yourself that your statement refers to the 'real' you, not the 'case' you move around in. The good thingabout this is that your subconscious will latch onto your predominant thought which is 'I am perfectly healthy now', andguide you to do things that make it your physical reality.
It's amazing the way your mind works. Learn to make it workfor you though, not against you.
Upgrade your 'weight' goal today. Focus on perfect health, forthe 'ideal weight' is part of the 'perfect health' package.
Let me leave you with an excellent way to state your new andimproved 'weight' goal. I learnt this (the 'I am so happy andthankful' bit) from Bob Proctor. Go ahead and say it out loudwith me now:
"I am so happy and thankful that I am perfectly healthy now".
Make that your predominant thought and it will become yourphysical reality in good time.

Healthy Eating Principles

By Dr Kem Thompson
Everyone knows that we have to eat healthilyin order to stay healthy.
Yet many people find it hard to do so.
It doesn't help that there are so many diet plans out there, each one purporting tobe 'the one true diet' for you.
One useful way to get you into the habit ofeating healthily is by applying a fewprinciples to the way you eat.I've outlined 8 of them below. Notice thatI do not mention counting calories. That'sbecause it takes away the fun when you haveto stop and check numbers before you eatsomething. Anything that lessens yourenjoyment of something will make it hard foryou to stick to that thing.
So to make life easy, and to help you stickto your healthy eating patterns, don't thinkin terms calories. Your body is the mostintelligent machine in existence. Listen toit instead and do what it says (eg eat when it says you're hungry, stop when it says you're full, etc - see below).
I. Eat small portions of food for eachmeal. There is no 'one size fits all' rulehere. You know what a sensibly small portionlooks like, for you.
II. Eat frequently. Most adults get hungry about 3-4 hours after their last meal.
Aim to eat at least 5 small sized meals each day. This keeps yourmetabolic rate high, thus helping you release excess weight easily, naturally, safely and healthily.
Study yourself and see how soon after eating you feel hungry again. This willhelp you prepare in advance so that you don't get very hungry and fall into thetemptation of eating anything available
III. Eat foods that you enjoy eating,making sure that each meal containsall the essential nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins).
Broaden your range of 'enjoyed food'to include as much unprocessed foodas possible. Try new things and limitunprocessed foods as they're plainunhealthy.
Set yourself up to succeed by stockinghealthy foods and snacks in your house.That way they're readily available, andyou've got no choice but to eat them.
One great way to enjoy a meal, whateverit is, is by eating slowly. Take time toactually chew your food. This also aidsdigestion (which begins in your mouth).
IV. Eat only when you’re hungry. Havea stash of fresh fruits and vegetables to snack on in between meals or when you're on the go.
V. Stop eating as soon as you feel full:practise pushing away your plate with food still on it when you’ve had enough.
Don’t aim to wipe the plate clean,and don’t eat until you feel stuffed.Eat until you’re comfortably satisfied.
Reward yourself each time you succeedin doing this (but not with food!) - read a good book, watch a movie, spend some time out with friends - do something you really enjoy, to encourage yourself to stick with thisgood habit.
VI. Drink a lot of water.
Scientists recommend that we drink roughly 8(250mls) glasses of water each day.The best guage to how much water youshould drink though, is your own body:drink when you're thirsty.
Water helps you stay full, andif you’re eating only when you’re hungry, it means you’ll eat less without feeling like you’re depriving yourself.
It also helps you flush out toxinsfrom your body which otherwise could interfere with your body’s normalmetabolism.
Your body is 70% water so it makes sense to keep your hydration levelsnormal.
Having said that, a great way to get water while getting nourishmentis by eating fresh fruits and vegetables.This makes another case for the '5-8daily portions' of fruits and vegs.
VII. Take Daily Supplements.
I'm all for getting your nutrients fromyour food, but with today's farmingmethods (pollution, toxins in soil, nutrient depletion in soil) and today'sfood processing methods which process most of the goodness out of our food,there's no way you can eat enough fruits,veggies and healthy oils each day to give you the amounts you need to maintainoptimal health.
So take daily supplements to give you insurance and ensure that each day youget all your required nutrients.
Make sure the supplements have been manufactured to Pharmaceutical GradeQuality Standards (should be clearlystated on the bottle), using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMC). Thisensures that you're actually gettingwhat's written on the label.
Ensure also that your supplements havea guarantee of potency clearly writtenon the bottle, and that the ingredientsare balanced, complete and comprehensive.
VIII. Eating should be a pleasure, not a pain. For any food plan to work,it has to be practical, enjoyable, flexible and nutritious.
Any plan that's based on depriving you of some food or other is almostcertainly doomed to fail in the longterm.
That's why I do not advocate totalavoidance of any foods. You're anintelligent person. You know what toeat, how much to eat and when to stop.Simply do what you know to do and you'llbe alright:)
Try incorporating the above tips into the way you eat. Start with one of them, practise itfor a week (or until you're used to it), then start on another one.
If you make changes in small steps, you won'tbe overwhelmed and easily discouraged by your progress.
So make a small change each time; celebrate(or reward yourself) for each success, nomatter how small you think it is.
Remember, every baby step is bringing you closer to your desired goal of being ahealthy eater.
With persistence, you will find that eating healthily is not only possible, but it's fun.
So go for it, and stick to it! You know you can.

Glyconutrients: A Breakthrough Discovery

By Dr. David Enders
The science of Glycobiology, touted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as one of the Top Ten Technologies that WILL change this world, is based on a breakthrough discovery. No combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbals, or any other nutrient can replace the necessary saccharides (plant sugars), found in glyconutritionals.
Doctors who study “Glycomics” believe the lack of these plant sugars is the reason for much of today’s sickness and disease. The process to make the eight glyconutrients is very complex and requires a host of enzymes and micronutrients to complete the action. Scientists believe that our modern, nutrient deficient diet, along with toxins and stress interferes with the process, leaving us lacking in these life-giving molecules.
What Do Glyconutrients Do?
New research has revealed the fact that these biologically active plant sugars are critical for the transfer of all biological data between each of our 600 trillion cells. Glyconutrients serve as the body’s intercellular messengers to communicate al that is required for proper function of each and every individual cell. For proper cell-to-cell communication, cells use at least eight specific carbohydrates to “speak” to each other. As your cells touch each other, they communicate over this “sugar code” everything a cell needs: nutrition, repair, hormones, etc. The 1999 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded for this discovery.
Endogenous Stem Cells
Stem cells are produced in the bone marrow and travel throughout the body repairing damaged tissues. Doctors at the Fisher Institute for Medical Research were perplexed by the numerous reports from around the world of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Stroke victims making remarkable recoveries, and Diabetics were producing insulin again. All were taking a glyconutrient complex.
“When they measured the before and after stem cell counts in the blood, virtually none were detected prior to the introduction of glyconutrients. Within a week of consuming glyconutrients, trillions of stem cells can be found!” Fisher Proceedings, vol3, no.3.
No other product, natural or artificial has ever been clinically proven to stimulate production of stem cells.
The Most Important Nutrient is The One That is Missing!
Gary Hart, a research Ph.D., from John Hopkins University recently said “that without glycosylation (these sugars attaching to proteins at the cell level) there cannot be life.” He’s not saying without glycosylation you may get a sinus infection, or without glycosylation you won’t get gray hair’… he’s saying without these plant sugars in place there is only degeneration and No Life!
In a perfect world we would be getting these glyconutrients from a diet consisting of a broad variety of vine-ripened fruit and vegetables, roots, berries and plants to modern agricultural methods, and the high percentage of processed and nutritionally empty foods in our diets, we only get 2 of the necessary 8 plant sugars.
Sure, your body can make some of these sugars, but it takes ideal conditions and over 30 enzymatic conversions to do so. If your body is trying to perform these conversions on a daily basis, then you an bet you are exhausted and find little energy to live a truly vital, normal life.

Antioxidants

By Dr. David Enders
Biological oxidation involves transferring electrons from one oxygen molecule to another. Sometimes an electron escapes. When this happens the “free” electron is called a free radical. Free radicals constantly form almost everywhere in the body at an astonishing rate. Free radicals can be enemies or friends. Our body’s internal environment must interact with them the right way, or they can cause serious damage. The key is to maintain the optimal balance between free radicals and antioxidants.
Antioxidants are a group of compounds that are produced by the body, or occur naturally in many plants. Antioxidants are the free radical police of the body, on call 24/7. Antioxidants protect us from the oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Populations that consume large amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, tea, and red wine enjoy increased longevity and decreased risk of serious diseases. Scientific literature suggests that dietary supplementation with single nutrients may not be beneficial, but that whole food supplements that contain a naturally occurring blend of nutrients is preferred. The literature has documented that the interaction of combined nutrients can produce a total effect that is synergistic. The effects of the blend are greater than the sum of the effects of individual nutrient.
Australian Bush Plum – is a small deciduous tree found in Northwestern Australia. During the wet season the plant produces small plum like fruits that look and taste like gooseberries.
Nutrient analysis indicate that the fruit contains small amounts of vitamin B1 and B2; it also contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, and phosphorus. With the average vitamin C content of 3.0 – 3.5% (range= .2 to 5.9%) the bush plum provides the most concentrated natural source of vitamin C known. The typical bush plum contains about 2907 mg vitamin C per 100 grams of edible fruit.
Grape Skin Extract – Recognition that whole food extracts contain a full complement of naturally occurring phytonutrients stimulated studies of grape skin extracts. Resveratrol and Quercetin are the most extensively researched grape skin phytonutrients.
Resveratrol – Scientific studies indicate that resveratrol has a wide range of potentially important physiological activities. It can function as:
·a potent antioxidant·an inhibitor of tumor initiation, promotion, and progression·an inhibitor of cycloxygenase, a tumor promoting enzym·an anti-inflammatory agent·a phytoestrogen
Quercetin – The biological effects of quercetin and its derivatives have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help protect against many different diseases. Studies suggest that quercetin and its derivatives protect low-density lipoproteins from oxidation, thus preventing atherosclerotic plaque formation. By inhibiting platelet aggregation and promoting vascular smooth muscle relaxation, these flavonoids also may prevent stroke, hypertension, and other damaging cardiovascular events. In addition, they have anti-viral and anti-cancer actions as well.
The preponderance of scientific evidence indicates that a diet rich in flavonoids supports good health. Because many people consume insufficient amounts of flavonoid rich foods, and because cooking causes significant losses of flavonoids (35-82%), supplementation seems appropriate.
Green Tea Extract – The health benefits of green tea have been recognized for centuries, and scientific studies have confirmed the benefits of drinking this popular beverage. Both in vitro and animal studies suggest green tea and green tea extracts elicit a broad range of health promoting effects, particularly in supporting cardiovascular health and protecting against infections and cancer. Current studies indicate that a daily tea intake of 6 – 10 cups is required to obtain benefits. Because it may be difficult for many of us to drink so much tea every day, supplementing with tea extracts makes sense.
Glutathione is produced by our bodies and is the key antioxidant. It protects us from many types of pollution. It protects our DNA and RNA from free radical damage. Glutathione also protects us against cellular damage caused by heavy metals, cigarette smoke, pesticides, benzene, solvents, dyes, phenols, nitrates, and smog.
According to a study done at the University of California glutathione is poorly absorbed when taken orally. Therefore our diet, or taking a glutathione supplement, cannot provide us with sufficient quantity. So how do we get it? A glyconutrient complex has been scientifically shown to increase glutathione levels in healthy tissue. It will increase glutathione levels by 50% when tissues have been subjected to direct toxic chemical assault.
This fact was demonstrated in a study done by three different laboratories simultaneously, each being unaware of what the other labs were doing. The final result clearly demonstrated that this glyconutrient complex raises glutathione – not just in healthy tissue, but also in response to a toxic chemical assault.
It is apparent that supplementation with single nutrients may not suffice, and that whole food extracts containing a variety of naturally occurring nutrients are preferred. Independent studies have shown that a synergistic combination of the above ingredients results in a 36% increase in serum antioxidant activity.
