Dr.Oz`guest: Jacob Teitelbaum, MD:
The 6-Week Arthritis Cure:

Rule out and treat infections and food allergies,
which can aggravate arthritis.
I usually treat my rheumatoid arthritis patients
with the antibiotic doxycycline
as this has been shown to be helpful in several studies.
The question is whether it
acts as an anti-inflammatory on its own
or is killing an infection causing the arthritis.

Dr. Oz and Suzanna's JIA 2013.2.21:
. in this show Dr. Oz talks about
a cure for juvenile arthritis
that was reported by the nytimes 2013.02 .

why is #GAPS #diet only #bean the white navy?

9.16: web.med/GAPS.diet/why is GAPS.diet only bean the white navy?:
. the GAPS diet (for Gut and Psych Syndrome)
lowers most types fiber and pours on the fats
in order to flush out the bad germs;
but, it allows the following legumes:

"Lima beans, Lentils, Peas;
White navy beans, properly prepared" .

wiki:

. navy beans have a high saponin content;
Saponins exhibit antibacterial and anti-fungal activity,
and have been found to inhibit cancer cell growth.
. navy bean is the richest source of
ferulic acid [antibacterial] and p-coumaric acid
among the common bean varieties.
White beans are the most abundant plant-based source of
phosphatidylserine (PS) yet known .

doesn't like legumes? find out why!
( longevity correlates with use of legumes:
the famous confusing example is soy:
the healthy traditional way to use soy
is to ferment it, and mix with fish,
to balance the high omega-6 in the soy .

unfermented black turtle beans ).

beans increase your activity level

beans increase your activity level:

    Being Inactive Kills as Many as Cigarettes
    - Longevity Center - Everyday Health
How about some truth in headlines:
Being a [hyper-glycemic dieter] May Kill You .
-- The Truth About Sex via The Truth About Sex

me:
. one way of getting more active without trying
is to get far more fiber
(replace meat with beans
and replace sugar with greens)
. look at the details of that study:
medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/ExerciseFitness/33793

"removal of physical inactivity
had the largest effect on colon cancer,
and the smallest on coronary heart disease,
in terms of percentage reduction, ..."

. it just so happens that beans are
a major preventive of colon cancer
just as if you had gotten more exercise .
. that's not all beans do for health .

sugar transitions muscle to
prefering glucose over fats:
07-23-12 European Journal of Nutrition,

. the participants were lightly active, lean,
and then drinking soft drinks for only four weeks.
. Dr. Hans-Peter Kubis, Bangor University in England .
. the research showed regularly drinking soft drinks
changed the way muscles use food as fuel,
making them prefer to burn sugars over fats
via altered gene activity
-- encouraging unhealthy adaptations
similar to those seen in people with
obesity problems and type 2 diabetes:
a reduced ability to burn fat and to fat gain.
and making it more difficult for the body to
cope with rises in blood sugar.

#thyroid optimization may save bone,vision #health

11.2 ..11.4: health/thyroid/
lifestyle choices that improve function:
summary:
low thyroid is very common:
. age-related hypo-thyroid
-- ie "(normal) TSH levels --
is as common as the many modern diseases,
and that may be more than a coincidence .
. there are ties to bone loss,
atrial fibrillation,
and blindness due to glaucoma
(you may be at increased risk if you are
nearsighted or hypo-thyroid).

. I will first explain how common low thyroid is,
and how it can be mistaken for hyper-thyroid
-- that's important to realize because
some are avoiding the iodine they need
under the assumption that they are hyper-thyroid
when, in fact,
both the low and high thyroid extremes
can have the same symptoms
of a rapid or erratic heart .

. the unprecedented rate of obesity starting in the 1980's
may be due to the combination of
not only replacing sugar with high-fructose corn syrup,
but also replacing the iodine in bakery goods
with bromides that actually inactivate
what little iodine you might already be getting !

chia is healthy snack food

10.26: news.health/chia/fiber-carb ratio:
. did you see chia's fiber/carb ratio?
one way to highlight that is
give it in terms of % daily value:
20%/2%
.20/.02 = 10 .
10.27:
... what is the soluble-insoluble ratio ?

10.27: health/chia's soluble fiber:

. chia is a great snack food
because it's tastes like a grain
that can be eaten raw,
yet has a soluble fiber content similar to beans .

0.7 grams of soluble fiber per 15 g chia:
0.7 soluble fiber =
4.1 gm total Fiber - 3.4 g Insoluble Fiber
. compared to bean fibers (per cup/2 dried):
red: 2.0 sol, -- 7.9 total, 5.9 insol .
navy: 2.2 sol, -- 6.5 total, 4.3 insol .
black: 2.4 sol, -- 6.1 total, 3.7 insol .

rich in mucilloid soluble fiber:
If you leave Chia in water for 30 minutes
the glass will appear to contain
an almost solid gelatin,
absorbing more than 12 times its weigh in water .
"( Excessive consumption of flax [or chia] seeds
with inadequate water
can cause bowel obstruction. )

. chia's fat has more omega-3 than omega-6
unlike most grains, nuts, and seeds;
Grains are seeds of plants belonging to the grass family.
(members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae)
chia is a pseudocereal .

per 100g chia the fat composition is (grams):
3.2 sat, 2.1 mono, 5.8 poly(18:2), 17.5 poly(18:3)
compare 100g salmon:
0.9 sat, 2.1 mono,  0.8 poly(18:2), 0.3 poly(18:3)
0.3 poly(20:5 -- epa )
0.3 poly(22:5 -- dpa )
1.115 poly(22:6 -- dha)

reading the usda charts:
18:3 means 18 carbons with 3 double bonds .
omega-3 vs -6: means
A double bond is located on the 3rd vs 6th
carbon–carbon bond,
counting from the terminal methyl carbon
toward the carbonyl carbon.
For example, alpha-Linolenic acid
is classified as an omega-3 fatty acid .
18:3 vs 18:2
alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA)     18:3 (n-3)
Linoleic acid (LA) 18:2(n-6) -- omega-6 fatty acid.

. keep in mind that omega-3's are
poly's (polyunsaturates) -- they are
easily increasing your free radical load
and causing oxidative stresses (rapid aging)
while not being easily converted by your body
into the healthy fish oils .

. while poly's do have anti-cancer effects,
a more heart-friendly anti-cancer strategy
is high-dosing the non-toxic form of selenium
and avoiding the moldy grains
that are folded into fast foods .

. worse news for poly's, [2014.6.30: later retracted]
 macular degeneration (leading cause age-related blindness)
and male prostate cancer,
were more likely with high levels of ALA,
the omega-3 plentiful in chia .
. while ALA is an essential fatty acid,
only very small quantities are required,
and should be mixed with
antioxidant herbs like rosemary,

. the amount you need ?
see usa's suggestion .
--(notice in that link
that you can have omega-6 amounts
that are 17times the omega-3 amounts?
that is the political opinion of the usa,
the world's grain supplier:
most of their exports --{wheat, soy}--
have too much omega-6
compared to omega-3 .
. they might be right about your omega-3 needs;
or they might be low-balling
due to usa's lack of it .

. I appreciate raw foods,
so I'm grateful chia seeds don't imbalance
my omega-3 omega-6 ratio's,
but, my favorite raw source for omega-3
is egg yolks and dark leafy greens .
. the closest I've found to bean-fed eggs
-- that would have more omega-3 I believe --
is Eggland's Best .

. to get a sure dose of DHA,
that is 3rd-party tested for
acceptable levels of the usual
fish oil contaminants
(dioxins,PCB's, mercury, ...)
I use Life Extension's
Super Omega-3 epa/dha fisho oil
(from a well-used discounter
like iherb.com  not amazon.com)
[2011.11.14: but not since
iherb changed its discount policies;
do consider however,
who amazon is connecting you with:
counterfeits do happen,
and dioxins are serious .]

chia is better than flax:
"( flaxseed contains a considerable amount of
[neurotoxic] cyanogen glycosides.
To remove cyanides from flaxseed,
5% of freshly ground flaxseed by weight
could be added to cold-pressed flaxseed,
with incubation at 30 °C for 18 h
followed by steam heat to evaporate HCN.)

"(Taking over 2 tablespoons raw flax seed,
may have hormonal effects that are
harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
People with hormone-dependent conditions
like breast or prostate cancer
should also avoid using flax seed oil.
It is not recommended for children under 12.)

"(Flax seed may have estrogen-like effects,
and women taking flax seed daily
may experience changes in menstruation;
the NIH advises that women with
hormone-related health conditions
be cautious about using flax seed,
including endometriosis, uterine fibroids,
polycystic ovary syndrome,
and breast, ovarian or uterine cancer.
Pregnant women also should
not consume supplemental flax seed,
as it could cause hormonal effects
that might be harmful to the developing baby .)

care for high-risk elders

2.10: co.health/care for high-risk elders:
Health and Wellness Product Information Group
Are you and your agency prepared to work with
lesbian and gay seniors?

my reply:

. according to that article,
sexual minorities have a lot in common with
the mentally ill: fewer social connections,
and thereby a greater risk of stress conditions .
. they should be reminded to compensate by
concentrating on the other branches of longevity:
#: finding self-employment you love,
both challenging and providing a feeling of flow .
#: staying on a disciplined diet
that keeps hormones in the zone:
beans, greens, yams, and no grains or sugar .
#: peak resistance exercise
for maximizing natural growth hormone .

paleo (grassfed) diet

2.9: co.health/linkedin.com/Health and Wellness Product Information Group:
Eating like Cavemen - What are your thoughts on a Paleo Diet?
. an interview with a Paleolithic nutrition expert .
"(

Dr. Loren Cordain is a professor of exercise physiology
and a renowned expert in the area of Paleolithic nutrition.

) .
. I would sum it up as the grass-fed diet
-- omega-3 friendly .
. one thing not mentioned in that link's interview
is the pervasive dioxin problem
-- we need to be more careful with fat
than our ancestors;
I use 3rd-party tested fish oil
http://www.ifosprogram.com/IFOS/ConsumerReport.aspx

. meat and dairy not safe?
low-fat legumes (vs soy and peanuts)
-- unlike cereals, seeds, and nuts --
do qualify as a grass-fed diet .
. low-fat beans, with sufficient cooking times,
are non-toxic and omega-3 friendly;
esp'ly {kidney beans, black beans}
for having not only a complete proteinbut also the highest fiber and protein
per plant calorie .
some-beans-feature-complete-protein.html

. legumes have been the most important
dietary predictor of longevity
Asia Pacific J Clin Nutr 2004;13 (2):217-220 (pdf)
but when a long-living culture's legume is soy,
that soy is mostly fermented
(reduces toxins and anti-nutrients) .
. the key to a legume`s healthfulness is its
time-releasing of carb' and protein,
and the fact that its soluble fiber promotes
bacterial production of butyrates and vitamin k .
. however!
one very important mineral that is often missing from beans
is selenium -- that pro-longevity powerhouse --
which is a mineral only tolerated by legumes, not needed by them,
and which is available to farm-raised animals, salt-water wild fish,
and salt-water vegetables .

. my diet-related health articles .
blog posts:
. do some legumes have a lectin problem?
. can chickens eat beans?

legumes that are lectin-compatible with your blood type

12.30: web.health/legumes that are lectin-compatible with your blood type:

. mercola keeps referencing the diets that are specific to blood type,

but the theory is honked as a scam by many:

. I found a brief on it:

www.locateadoc.com/Patient_Resources/.../erfybt.cfm

eg,

. The new blood on the [evolutionary] block,

Type AB combines most of the strengths and weaknesses

of both Type A and Type B.

Chicken and corn has lectins that may render Type Bs

even more susceptible to slow-grow nerve-damaging viruses .

. the lectins of some beans interfere with insulin production:

lentils, garbanzos, pintos and black-eyed peas .

some beans feature complete protein?!!!

2017.2.17:
-- this lists the inflammation index of beans
but doesn't give a ref;
could it be that the source I gave for protein completeness
http://www.nutritiondata.com/
did once also have the inflammation factors as well?
there is a book about that (inflammationfactor.com).
