The average standard American diet has a cup of kale per person per year. So the average American is responsible for eating about a half teaspoon of kale a week and kale consumption is in decline.
Just by adding a billionth of a gram of kale protein per liter quadruples the antibody production.
A study on the immune system boosting effects of kale concluded that the intake of kale provides a beneficial effect on humans to enhance the defense against such pathogens as viruses, bacteria, and toxins. The immuno stimulating effect will provide an additional advantage of kale, as well as its antioxidative capacity and other effects like improving coronary artery disease risk factors.
Thirty-two men with high cholesterol consumed three or four shots of kale juice a day for three months. That’s like eating a total of about 30 pounds of kale, the amount the average American consumes in a century.
It did was dramatically lower their bad cholesterol, and boosted their good cholesterol as much as would an hour of daily exercise, seven days a week.
By the end of the three months, the antioxidant level of their blood shot up significantly.
Seaweeds have special types of fiber and phytonutrients not found among land plants.
Drip seaweed broth on human ovary cells causes estrogen levels to drop. It’s either inhibiting production, facilitating breakdown of estrogen, or block estrogen receptors.
They estimate that an effective estrogen-lowering dose of seaweed for an average American woman might be around five grams a day.
Three women with abnormal cycles, two of which with endometriosis, volunteered to add a tiny amount of common seaweed,
to their daily diet. It effectively lengthened their cycles and reduced the duration of their periods.
One test subject had a 30 year history of irregular periods averaging every 16 days.
By adding a half-teaspoon a day brought her up to 31 nearly doubling the length of her cycle.
All experienced marked reductions in blood flow, and a decreased duration of menstruation.
The two women suffering from endometriosis reported substantial alleviation of their pain.
The seaweed wakame salad, can quadruple the replication potential of T cells, which are an important part of our immune defense against viruses like herpes simplex virus.
All fifteen patients with active Herpetic viral infections experienced significant lessening or disappearance of symptoms.
This included herpes virus 1, the cause of oral herpes like cold sores;
herpes virus 2, which causes genital herpes;
and herpes 3, which causes shingles and chicken pox;
and
herpes virus 4, which causes mono also known as Epstein-Barr virus.
Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately. Sugar is present in foods like ketchup and fruit juice.
U.S. military veterans appear to have increased risk of developing ALS.
Institute of Medicine is a nonprofit organization established in 1970 as a component of the US National Academy of Sciences that works outside the framework of government to provide evidence-based research and recommendations for public health and science policy. The organization is abbreviated as IOM.
IOM has issued a new report from experts supporting an association between military service and later development of ALS. Published reports reviewed by the experts show up to a two fold increased risk of developing ALS among veterans deployed in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Veterans from other eras, dating from World War II to post Vietnam , also appear to be at greater risk of developing ALS.
The IOM’s conclusions help to validate what the ALS community knows all too well that if you served in the military, you are more likely to die from ALS.
Under a government policy, ALS is considered a service-connected disease for those veterans who served in the Gulf War between August 2, 1990 and July 31, 1991.
The IOM reviewed a study conducted by researchers from Harvard University ’s School of Public Health that found that veterans who served in the military, whether World War II, Korea or Vietnam , are at greater risk of ALS. According to the IOM report. The implication is that military service in general not confined to exposures specific to the Gulf War is related to the development of ALS. The findings, if validated in other studies, suggest that exposures during military service, even among those with no wartime service, might be responsible.
Four studies have found evidence of the increased risk of ALS in military veterans, both those who served in the Gulf War and those with any history of military service, the IOM committee reported. The risk is as much as twice that in the general population.
The leading connection between ALS and military service are the compulsory vaccinations.
In 1997, the Defense Department announced it would vaccinate everybody in the military for anthrax.
Many had questions about the vaccine's safety and effectiveness.
Animal studies had shown it to be rather ineffective.
Dr. Nass believes its potential contribution to Gulf War Syndrome.
Hundreds of military personnel began falling ill once the anthrax vaccine became routine,
and many within the military began fighting the mandate.
The movement culminated in no less than 13 congressional
hearings on the various aspects of the anthrax vaccine program.
During the first Gulf War, tens of thousands of soldiers received a highly experimental anthrax vaccine with a dangerous “adjuvant” called squalene.
This adjuvant was linked to serious neurological damage.
A study from Tulane University scientists found that 95 percent of the veterans studied with GWS had antibodies to squalene in their systems.
Two Navy officers developed ALS and died shortly after getting their anthrax vaccines.
In 2001, the Pentagon had consideration of stopping the entire anthrax vaccine program.
Then a fake anthrax letters appeared.
In responce the federal government spent 60 billion dollars on biodefense.
The multi-billion dollar vaccination for Anthrax that the Department of Defence has required many of its personnel
to receive may be one of the largest scams in recent history.
Despite numerous congressional inquiries, the program being shut down on multiple occasions,
and scientific peer reviews questioning its ability to protect in an actual anthrax attack,
the vaccine — called BioThrax — received another round of funding worth $1.25 billion in 2013.
The company had a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman among its founders in 1998,
and has spent more than $20 million on lobbying efforts.
For Navy Capt. Denis Army, the first clue came Sept. 21, 1998,
when he stumbled while running the bases in a shipboard softball game.
It was the day before the former college baseball player turned 45 and three days after his first anthrax shot.
Army died in May 2000, after a particularly rapid form of ALS left him bedridden a few months after diagnosis.
Lt. Cmdr. Brody Prieto's problems began about a year after his only anthrax shot, at 31.
His voice became too slurred to understand over a radio while flying missions as an F-14 radar-intercept officer in the Middle East.
Prieto was hit by a particularly fast form of ALS and given two years to live.
Both died thinking that their anthrax shots caused this illness,
despite military doctors' refusal to consider the possibility, their widows say.
David Masters was an Air Force technical sergeant who served in Kuwait during the first Gulf War.
Now he spends his days in a wheelchair, and he’s lost the use of his arms.
David is one of thousands of veterans who have developed ALS.
Paralyzed Veterans of America says that since 2008 it’s represented more than 6,500 veterans who developed ALS — many of whom served in the Persian Gulf.
Eleven percent of the total were serious.
The Pentagon's mandatory anthrax shots caused adverse reactions in most recipients and helped prompt many Air Force Reserve
and Air National Guard members to transfer to other units or leave the military between 1998 and 2000,
according to a survey by Congress's General Accounting Office (GAO).
The survey indicated that 85% of troops who received an anthrax shot had an adverse reaction,
a rate far higher than the 30% claimed by the manufacturer in 2000,
when the survey was conducted. Sixteen percent of the survey respondents had either left the military or changed their status,
at least in part because of the vaccination program.
