Patient: Questions
Hello Doctor,
The patient is my Dad. Lately he suffers from a heaviness in the chest while walking briskly which gradually becomes a discomfort and then a pain in the angina. He has to literally stop walking or remain in a immobile position to come off the pain. Such symptoms is experienced only while walking briskly and never while exercising or doing any other activity in a stationary position.Last week he underwent the stress test which he could not carry on for more than 2 min. His ECG and 2d eco test was found to be normal. He's got BP and sugar but under control with medication. His cholesterol level is also normal. Doctors have claimed it to be a peculiar case and asked him go for angiography. I have heard that the dye used in the angiography at times causes kidney failure. Pls advise what could be the problem with him and should he actually go for angiography. If yes, then will angiography cause any kind of ailments relating to kidney. Pls help.

All About Areenhouse Growing


A growing number of people at least have one greenhouse story to share. The idea of growing food at controlled temperatures all year round and extending the growing season have set fire to people’s imaginations. No wonder the greenhouse building industry has recorded phenomenal growth. From construction plans to tools and accessories for greenhouses, individuals are working on all fours to satisfy the increasing demands of consumers who have made building their own greenhouses top priority. This trend, which started humbly in the 70’s, is now a fullfledged endeavor on the part of greenhouse entrepreneurs and “homesteaders.”

Four Leaf Clovers

This book was written by Roberta MacDonald, senior vice president of marketing for Cabot Creamery Cooperative on the simple joy and pleasure of searching for four-leaf clovers. Written in 1988, reprinted in 2003 and again in 2007, MacDonald’s book is a lighthearted yet techinical look at how to search for four-leaf clovers. More importantly, it’s a guide to introspection and contemplation — two things seemingly lacking today due to life’s everyday demands and distractions. Although ostensibly about how to search for four-leaf clovers, this guide quietly offers subtle instruction in another search: how to relax and sample what’s really meaningful in life. Roberta MacDonald has written a pleasantly whimsical tract about the art of contemplation. Her advice is specific, and its implications are as much philosophical as horticultural.

An Introduction to Cell Food

Cell Food, with Kevin Negrete An Introduction to Cell Food, with Kevin Negrete
Kevin Negrete: Good morning everybody, my name is Kevin Negrete. I am President of Nu Science Corporation and we are the laboratory that manufactures exclusively all of the Cell Food products that you see here at our wonderful booth at Expo West 2005.

We're going to chat for the next 15 or 20 minutes about Cell Food and our Cell-Food technologies, and what we're able to produce in our laboratories and provide to the entire world. This is our domestic launch here through Expo West for the wholesale retail market. We get a lot of questions, so I'm going to start off with some of the most common questions and answers here just to get you initiated with this whole thing.

Cell Food is currently sold in over 70 countries around the world. Our largest market here is the domestic market. It's the number one selling oxygen-plus-nutrition supplement in the world today.
Some of the most common questions we find about Cell Food are -- and these are probably the three most important ones that I get asked at virtually every single one of the presentations -- number one: "Is Cell Food a drug?" (That's a) very, very common question. Number two: "Is it legal for professional or amateur athletes?" Number three, and probably the most important question that any consumer must ask, and this is the most important thing: "Is the product toxic or dangerous?" The reason I make this the most important point is that there are probably 10,000 different products under the roof at this Expo, and many of the products work, many of the products don't work. Who knows? But at least we need to make sure that every product is safe for human consumption. We're going to go through and answer each of these three questions.

How to End Cruelty

How to End Cruelty to Animals, People and Nature

End Cruelty to Animals, People and Nature How to End Cruelty to Animals, People and Nature
What is cruelty? It is any harmful action taken against another living entity that disregards its consciousness or awareness. In this essay, we’ll explore some of the levels of cruelty: how it happens, how it's defined, and what we can do to help end cruelty and enhance compassion in the world. Cruelty exists in three distinct realms: cruelty against mankind, cruelty against animals,and finally, cruelty against nature.


Let's start with cruelty against mankind, in which one individual may be cruel to another for a variety of reasons, usually relating to gaining personal control over resources (food, money, etc.) or other people. This concept of personal gain is an important factor in understanding human cruelty, since individuals are usually only cruel to others because they gain something from it. In fact, this is designed into our behavior and has been carried through our ancestry for hundreds of thousands of years. Picture this: two cavemen are sitting around a fire at the end of the day. One spent hours gathering berries, and the other has nothing. The caveman with nothing can attack the caveman with the berries, take his fruit, and be all the more successful for it, at least in terms of survival and control of resources.


From an anthropological point of view, there is an incentive for deceit, theft, and even harming other individuals, as long as it results in some sort of personal gain. In fact, we see this across virtually all species, but especially in those that are most closely related to humans, such as primates. Today, we see the very same thing happening when one nation attacks another nation in order to control its resources. Attacking a nation to take control of its oil supply is essentially the same as beating a caveman over the head and stealing his berries. It just goes to show how little we've actually advanced over the years. This brings us to a salient point: ending cruelty requires moving past our ancestral roots, and past the behaviors that are programmed into us because they once helped us succeed in an uncivilized world.

Today we have to recognize that cruelty is not acceptable in the international community. It is not acceptable to attack and kill other human beings for any reason, and certainly not to take control of their resources in order to enrich ourselves.

This is one of the most eye-opening interviews you'll ever read on health.

Here's some of what you'll find inside:
Why and how your body manufactures vitamin D. How your body automatically regulates proper levels of vitamin D, even with excessive sunlight exposure. Why vitamin D deficiencies are now epidemic in the American population (and what it means to their health). How vitamin D deficiencies cause prostate cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, osteoporosis, rickets and other diseases. The true cause of asthma and why antihistamines only conceal the symptoms of the disease rather than treating its cause. Why African Americans and Hispanics are especially susceptible to vitamin D deficiencies due to skin pigmentation. Why the sunscreen industry doesn't want you to read this information and has tried to discredit Dr. Holick. Why milk and orange juice are poor sources for vitamin D. Revealed: a much better nutritional supplement that provides a vitamin D boost! Why where you live on the planet ultimately determines how much sunlight you need. How dermatologists misinform people about the real risks of sun exposure. Seasonal Affective Disorder: how to treat it with sunlight exposure. Revealed: a simple, five-second test that reveals whether you're suffering from severe vitamin D deficiency. Why vitamin D defiencies impair your body's ability to absorb calcium!

Superfoods for Optimum Health

Chlorella and Spirulina (Free Downloadable PDF)

Superfoods for Optimum Health - Chlorella and Spirulina Chlorella and spirulina are truly the most astounding food sources on planet Earth. In this special report, you'll learn about the astonishing health benefits and nutritional achievements of these two foods, and you'll see why you need to get these into your diet immediately.

Most people have heard of chlorella and spirulina, but they don't really know the details of why these are truly the best food sources on the planet. For example, did you know that, ounce per ounce, spirulina contains twelve times the digestible protein of beef? It's a far better protein than beef, and it contains a much healthier mineral balance (such as magnesium) that just isn't found in beef."
Did you know that a phytochemical found in chlorella can actually rebuild nerve damage in the brain and nervous system? That's why chlorella is being used in the recovery of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease."

Were you aware that both chlorella and spirulina can actually reverse cancer in the human body? Both of these superfoods have been clinically shown to demonstrate stunning preventive and curative properties when it comes to all sorts of cancers."

And finally, did you know that these superfoods also contain a high content of essential fatty acids such as GLA that are routinely missing from the diets of most Americans and yet are critical for healthy brain function? "

That's just a taste of what these superfoods really have to offer. These foods are so packed with healing properties that if pharmaceutical companies could patent them and sell them as drugs, they would cost $100 a gram and be front page news all over the world. Their ability to halt cancers would be heralded as a "medical breakthrough" and doctors everywhere would be urged to prescribe these substances to every one of their patients. It would be nothing less than a blockbuster, multi billion dollar pharmaceutical achievement."

But it isn't a drug, it isn't manufactured in a drug lab, and it doesn't cost $100 a gram. In fact, it costs around 11 cents a gram from the sources I mention in this report, and nature makes it for free." Keep reading, and you'll learn all about it. And just so you know where this information is coming from, my name is Mike Adams, and I'm a holistic health investigative journalist. I research and report on topics that help improve the lives of people everywhere. I'm the author of Low-Carb Diet Warning, which exposes the chemicals toxins found in many of the foods relied upon by low-carb dieters (people following the Atkins Diet or South Beach Diet, for example). Don't get me wrong: I'm a low-carb dieter myself, so I'm not slamming these diets. I'm working to educate people on how to make them healthier and more effective so they lose weight more quickly without exposing themselves to dangerous ingredients that I call metabolic disruptors."
