Polycystic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS) is a name given to a broad collection of female disorders and diseases.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders
affecting women throughout their lives. The consequences of PCOS are far reaching
and affect reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular health. These disorders are a related cluster, not simply an
unfortunate happenchance.
It has been estimated that 10% of women of child-bearing age could be suffering
from PCOS. The percentage could be as high as 50%
among those women who are chubby, fat or obese. These disorders and diseases are actually symptoms of PCOS.
Your doctor may
not even acknowledge polycystic ovarian syndrome. Physicians typically diagnose
the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome as individual diseases and treat each
one separately. Professional medical references typically list the symptoms of
PCOS when describing the cause. The cause and treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome
are
scientifically known as will be presented here. However,
professional medical references hesitate to identify the syndrome, fail to
identify the cause, and have no suggestions for treating PCOS. Physicians
typically treat the symptoms of PCOS by trying to mitigate the symptoms. These
attempts consistently fail because the foundational cause and treatment
presented here are ignored.
What are the Disorders and Diseases Related to PCOS?
Ovarian cysts are one of the
first signs that a young women has symptoms of PCOS. Ovarian cysts are
fluid-filled ovarian follicles from which the egg fails to release during the monthly
cycle. The cysts usually disappear after a few months but can grow and
rupture to become a serious health problem. The cysts are caused by the abnormal
growth of ovarian tissue and can cause pain and discomfort. Common
medical treatment is surgery to remove the ovary. This treatment is unfortunate
because the root cause for the cyst remains, and the second ovary commonly
develops cysts as well. The second surgery leaves the woman permanently sterile.
Ovarian cancer is the
uncontrolled abnormal growth of ovarian cells. The cancer cells in the surface layer of the ovary
are called "epithelial carcinoma."
Cancer growing from the egg-producing cells is called "germ cell cancer." Less
common cancer growing within the other areas of the ovary are called "stromal
cancer." Since ovarian cancer may not produce symptoms, it can go undiagnosed until it spreads to other organs. Common medical treatment is surgery for the
removal of the ovaries and tumors followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy.
Professional medical societies have not identified the cause for ovarian cancer,
but it is simply one of the diseases related to polycystic ovarian syndrome. The
vegetarian diet will not prevent ovarian cancer. Actually, it is the cause.
Endometriosis is a condition
in which abnormal tissue grows in and around the ovaries, uterus, and other areas
in the pelvis and abdomen. These tissues can form an interconnecting web with
attachments to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, uterus, intestines,
appendix, rectum, and lining of the abdomen. The woman has pain
when the structures prevent normal flexibility of the various organs.
Attachments to the small intestines and colon prevent normal movement and
flexibility resulting in pain and discomfort. The endometriosis tissue is
stretched or torn causing pain. Medical examinations such as a colonoscopy prove
to be negative because the endometriosis tissues are on the outer surfaces of
the intestines, not internal. For this reason, endometriosis is often
misdiagnosed or continues without any diagnosis. The common medical treatment is
surgery to remove some of the endometriosis tissue. These surgeries are only a
temporary solution because the remaining tissue and new tissue continue to grow.
These surgeries fail to remove the root cause of the growth.
Hormone Imbalances are among
the major symptoms of women with PCOS. The high insulin levels drive the ovaries
to covert progesterone to testosterone. The insulin also reduces the serum
hormone binding globulin (SHBG). These effects result in a hyperandrogenic state in the ovary resulting in follicle atresia (closing of the
tubular opening preventing release of the egg) and ovulatory dysfunction. Many
physicians attempt to correct the hormone imbalances by prescribing hormone
therapy. This approach is counter productive and ineffective because the therapy
is fighting the root cause of the hormone imbalance, not removing it.
Irregular Menstruation and
Amenorrhea (cessation of menstrual periods) are other major symptom of women
with PCOS. The hormone imbalances stated above disrupt the menstrual periods. In
mild PCOS cases or in younger women the menstrual period may be skipped
infrequently, but in severe PCOS complete cessation of menstruation can
occur. Excessive exercises like jogging make the condition worse, not better as
commonly claimed.
Studies have shown that injecting
female hamsters with insulin will stop their reproductive cycle. In the same
manner, a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet as eaten by vegetarians or as
recommended by the USDA Food Pyramid Guide will increase insulin and disrupt
fertility in women. The hormones in these women often become so disrupted that
amenorrhea occurs (the cessation of menstruation). They cannot become pregnant.
In contrast, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet of adequate calories, as
recommended here, corrects hormonal imbalances, and promotes fertility.
Infertility is the obvious
result of constant high insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia) in women with PCOS. The combination of hormonal
disruption and closing of the egg follicle of the ovary causes infertility. Eggs
are prevented from being released from the ovary, thereby preventing any hope of
pregnancy. Either the hormone imbalances are not supportive of fertilized eggs becoming
implanted in the uterus, or an implanted egg is flushed away.
Miscarriage is threatened in all months of
pregnancy in women with PCOS. The hormone
imbalance simply does not support the necessary body functions required in a
pregnant woman. The fetus is flushed from the uterus and dies. Women with PCOS
who are attempting to become pregnant are most likely unaware that they are having
several miscarriages yearly. Physicians specializing in infertility and prenatal
care may attempt to keep the fetus from spontaneously aborting by administering hormone therapy. This approach can be successful in a
certain percentage of the cases.
Excess Body and Facial Hair
appear as other common symptoms in women with PCOS. The growth of hair is caused
by the excessive level of testosterone, leading to male characteristics.
Loss of Scalp Hair is also
related to the high level of testosterone, resulting in male pattern baldness.
Weight Gain and Obesity are
the norm in women with PCOS, but obesity is not a requirement in the
diagnosis of PCOS. Many slender women have PCOS; these women tend to be
those who exercise excessively and control caloric intake.
Insulin Resistance is a
symptom in all cases of PCOS and is directly related to the root cause described
below. Insulin resistance occurs in cells of the muscles as a result of cellular
insulin
fatigue. The cells simply become resistant to the onslaught of high levels of
insulin, forcing the cells to burn glucose for the production of heat or work.
The body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, so higher and higher
levels are produced to get the same effect. The cells say, "Enough is enough." Insulin can be compared to a turbocharger on an
internal combustion engine. The turbo pushes air and fuel into the engine to
increase the power output. Insulin resistance has been shown to be associated
with hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), high triglycerides
(hypertriglyceridaemia), glucose intolerance, excessive cholesterol, and
lipoprotein in the blood such as VLDL and LDL (dyslipidaemia), high blood uric
acid, and gout (hyperuricaemia), high blood pressure (hypertension), and
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
As the cells become insulin
resistant, the blood insulin level keeps increasing as required to remove the
excess glucose from the blood. The brain is very sensitive to the glucose level
and attempts to maintain a constant normal range. The higher insulin level (hyperinsulinemia) forces the excess glucose to be stored as body fat. This
is the reason women with PCOS suffer from weight gain and obesity in most cases.
However, fat cells can become insulin resistant as well and insulin levels
continue to rise. Hyperinsulinemia also forces low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids into the lining of the arteries, causing
coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and carotid
artery disease of the neck leading to a stroke.
Inositol
is a non-essential chemical in the body that was once thought to be vitamin B8.
Although the body can make inositol from glucose, adding inositol as a
supplement in the diet may be helpful in reducing insulin resistance and as an
aid in reducing PCOS infertility.
Diabetes is often
misdiagnosed in women with PCOS when the capacity of the woman's pancreas to produce insulin remains
strong. The upper level of blood glucose can be kept from reaching symptomatic
levels because of the strong supply of insulin. Women with PCOS mistakenly nibble and snack on
high-carbohydrate foods whenever a lower glucose level causes increased
hunger. This method prevents hypoglycemic symptoms. These women often eat and
snack in such a manner that their blood sugar remains in a near normal range.
Doctors frequently tell patients with PCOS to eat this way, but nibbling on
high-carbohydrate foods all day long is the road to disaster. Many doctors also fail to check the blood insulin and glucose levels during a 5-hour glucose
tolerance test. In reality, all women with PCOS are diabetic. Some are diagnosed
as diabetic, but many are not. Nibbling and snacking on high-carbohydrate foods
in order to control blood sugar is the worst thing a woman with PCOS
could do. This method makes insulin resistance worse and PCOS symptoms more severe.
Sex Drive is often increased
in women with PCOS because of the increase in the male hormone testosterone.
This makes them desire sex more frequently in order to get pregnant, but
the hormone imbalances prevent conception.
Uterine Fibroids are a common
symptom of PCOS. Typical treatment is removal of the uterus (hysterectomy).
Metformin is a prescription
drug that is sometimes give to woman who have PCOS and infertility. The response
from woman who have used the drug is quite positive.
Beth began having menstrual
problems when she was 14. At age 16 she began gaining excess body fat
and was soon 20 pounds overweight. This is the true story of her unsuccessful
battle with PCOS. She ate the typical high-carbohydrate diet of cereal with milk
and orange juice for breakfast; crackers, and cookies for a snack; fruit, and
bagels for lunch; more crackers, and cookies for a snack; pasta with French bread
for dinner; and more fruit and bread for an evening snack. She drank either
fruit juice or soft drinks for much of her liquid intake. By age 35 Beth had become obese with facial hair,
irregular menstrual periods, and abdominal attacks with severe pain. Her doctor
gave her all the standard tests and examinations but did not recommend anything
that made any difference whatsoever.
A relative gave Beth an article about
PCOS. She skimmed it but didn't bother to give it much
attention or serious study. On
her next visit to the doctor she asked him,
"Do I have PCOS?"
He said, "Yes, you do."
She said, "Why didn't you
tell me?"
He said, "Because there is
nothing we can do about it."
The doctor was right. She did have
PCOS, and there was nothing he could do about it. His medical training and his professional
medical society basically
ignore PCOS. Pharmaceutical companies ignore PCOS
because they cannot develop a drug to combat the numerous symptoms. Drugs that
increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, such as metformin (used to treat
diabetes), are sometimes used with limited success because the root cause is
ignored. Beth's doctor
offered no prescription drugs and gave no advice. He didn't even bother to discuss diet with
her because he would never have advised her to eat a high-fat, high-protein,
low-carbohydrate diet. He doctor was taught that "eating red meat and
saturated fat causes heart disease, you know."
Beth
was an undiagnosed diabetic. Her
doctor didn't even run any tests for diabetes. She did not complain of
hypoglycemia because she nibbled and snacked all day long on high-carbohydrate
foods in order to satisfy her food cravings caused by blood sugar swings. She didn't have hyperglycemia
either, because her pancreas produced large
quantities of insulin in order to control the onslaught of blood glucose. According to her doctor's
observations she was not diabetic, but in reality Beth had been a diabetic for
years. She could never have passed a 5-hour glucose tolerance test. He never
bothered to test her blood insulin level either.
Beth
eventually insisted that her
doctor do exploratory surgery to determine what was causing her severe abdominal
pains. She was fearful of cancer. Since insurance companies do not pay for
exploratory surgery, he justified his exploratory surgery by removing her
gallbladder regardless of the fact that it may not have been diseased. He told her the gallbladder was coming out whether it was
the problem or not. He could not submit charges for gallbladder surgery to the
insurance company without
removing it. Beth's gallbladder was removed, and her doctor found the source
for her severe abdominal pain. Beth had a massive structure of endometrial
tissues spanning her abdominal cavity like heavy spider webs, called endometriosis. She had
endometrial
growths everywhere.
Beth
had another surgery to remove
her endometrial growths, ovaries, and uterus. This surgery did relieve much of her
abdominal pains, but she was still diabetic. After the surgery her sex hormones plunged. She started having "hot flashes" and began hormone replacement therapy
which caused her to suffered numerous undesirable
side effects. Beth will likely die from heart disease because 75% of diabetics
die from heart disease. She still doesn't eat red meat or saturated fat, and her
doctor thinks that is great. She continues to eat lots of whole grains and
fruit.
Don't be
Brainwashed by Professional Medical and Health Authorities - True Story
This is another true story about a
registered nurse and her daughter. The nurse had been thoroughly brainwashed
during her education and training. She was taught to eat a diet with lots of
fruits, whole grains, and starchy vegetables. She avoided red meat, saturated
fats, butter, coconut oil, and palm oil because she had been taught that these
foods caused cancer and heart disease. She wasn't fat, but she developed three
or more autoimmune diseases. Her daughter was ideal weight and looks like a
fine example of a healthy lifestyle, but this would not last long. Before
reaching 20 years of age she started to have ovary problems. Her mother did
know that her daughter's diet had given her PCOS, and the doctor's eventually
removed both ovaries to deny her the chance of ever having a baby. Doctor's
rarely recommend diet changes as a treatment of PCOS. But this was not the end
to the daughter's health problems. She soon developed inflammatory bowel
diseases and suffered for years with poor digestion, frequent diarrhea,
bloating, and pain. Then came the bloody stools and the doctor's diagnosis of
colorectal cancer followed by surgery, radiation, and dreadful chemotherapy.
Naturally, her mother was by her side with more "professional"
advice. During recovery the daughter cheered that she would soon be about to
eat her favorite meals - salads. A few months later all of her original IBD
symptoms had returned with a vengeance. Chemotherapy had also left her with a
lifetime of miserable side-effects including dangerously low white blood cell
count, iron deficiency anemia, constant fatigue, headaches, weird vision
changes, a "foggy chemo-brain", and the general feeling of being
unwell. Oh, she still avoids red meat and natural animal fats because neither
her mother nor her oncologist told her that red meat provides heme iron and
all of the nutrients for awesome health. Neither the professional registered
nurse, doctors, or brainwashed daughter realized that amino acids from
meat of the building bloods for immune system cells and the whole body. Her
prognosis is bleak because 65 of those who endure this treatment are dead
within five years. Read my book "Absolute Truth Exposed - Volume 1"
below to learn the optimal diet for those with PCOS and the diet to avoid
getting other autoimmune diseases and cancer.
What Causes Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome?
The constant onslaught of
carbohydrates in the diet causes polycystic ovarian syndrome, period. It is as
simple as that. Medical references and physicians frequently list one or several
of the symptoms of PCOS as the cause. They may list insulin resistance as the
cause of PCOS, but it is only a secondary factor. The high-carbohydrate diet is the
cause. Insulin resistance results when a female eats a high-carbohydrate diet as recommended by the
USDA
Food Guide Pyramid. There are no good carbohydrates. Don't believe the "good-carbs,
bad-carbs" myth. Complex
carbohydrates become 100% glucose sugar during digestion. The glucose crosses
the gut-blood barrier in the small intestines to become blood glucose that
must be cleared from the blood by the action of insulin. Nibbling on complex
carbohydrates is no better than nibbling on simple carbohydrates like pure
sugar. All carbohydrates are bad. There are no good carbohydrates.
The long and short-term
effects of eating carbohydrates are shown on the graph curve below.
Degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer,
inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus,
osteoporosis, and many other diseases increase as the percentage of
carbohydrates in the diet increases. The long-term effect occurs on the left
side of the curve where lower amounts of carbohydrates are eaten.
Carbohydrates are not a dietary requirement for humans. This scientific
physiological truth applies equally to all humans. The
detrimental effects of high levels of carbohydrates accumulate over the years,
thereby creating the degenerative effect that appears to be age related. Age
is only a secondary factor. This is why some older people do not have these
diseases. The short-term climax occurs at the far right end of the curve, where
a diet consisting of 100% carbohydrates will result in a quick and certain
death within weeks.
Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome is Not Inherited or Genetic
The claim is often made that PCOS is
genetic or inherited because mothers with PCOS will often have daughters who
develop PCOS as well. This simplistic assumption is not valid and lacks hard scientific
proof. The reason mothers with PCOS have daughters who develop PCOS starts in the
womb. A woman with PCOS has insulin resistance. She has a high blood level
of insulin when she eats high-carbohydrate foods. A fetus in the womb during the
first few months of pregnancy does not have any insulin resistance. Therefore, the
high level of glucose and the high level of insulin function like a massive supercharger of energy
into the fetus. The cells of the fetus are literally stuffed with glucose. The
temperature of the fetus rises in a desperate attempt to discharge the energy. The fetus quickly becomes insulin resistant
from the
onslaught of glucose and insulin, not from any genetic factor. The result can
also be a brain damaged baby, Downs syndrome or the development of autism is
the result of damage to the brain of the fetus in the womb. These birth
defects are claimed to be genetic, but they are not. These brain damaged
children became epidemic as the "low-fat, low-cholesterol diet"
became popular.
Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome can be Prevented and Treated
The proper treatment for PCOS is a
drastic change in the diet by slashing carbohydrates to an
absolute minimum. Carbohydrates are scientifically not needed in the diet. The
minimum daily requirement is zero -- none. The liver naturally maintains a perfect level
of blood glucose from dietary fats and protein. A diet with little or no
carbohydrates results in a minimum level of insulin, thereby preventing insulin
resistance and PCOS. Women who already have PCOS will have a sudden reversal of all of the
PCOS related diseases listed above when they switch to an ultra low-carbohydrate
diet. Hormone levels will return to normal. Menstrual periods will return to
normal. They most likely will become fertile within a few months. Miscarriages will cease, and pregnancies will be carried
to full term without
hormone therapy. Weight loss will begin immediately. Insulin resistance will
begin to fade; however, the damage has been done and cannot be entirely
reversed. They can never return to their previous high-carbohydrate diet without
severe repercussions and a full resumption of all of their ailments.
Female babies of women who have PCOS
will not be born with insulin resistance if the mother eats a low-carbohydrate
diet throughout her pregnancy. The dreadful fear of having a child with autism
can be dismissed summarily. Digestive problems associated with having PCOS will
also diminish.
Drugs May Help Women
With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
The primary treatment for women with
PCOS is the diet listed below. This low-carbohydrate diet is absolutely
essential
in order to have any hope of reducing the PCOS symptoms, regulating the
hormones, reducing weight, and getting pregnant. Prescription drugs can give an
additional boost by correcting some of the imbalances in the levels of insulin,
glucose, and sex hormones.
Aldactone
(spironolactone) is used to diagnose or treat a condition in which
you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by
your adrenal glands to help regulate the salt and water balance in your body. Aldactone
is an aldosterone receptor antagonists, meaning it blocks receptors that are
responsive to aldosterone hormone.
User
Reviews of Aldactone (spironolactone) for High Blood Pressure and PCOS.
"This medicine treated high-blood pressure, water retention, acne,
female/male pattern hair-loss, excessive, unwanted facial hair and is a
potassium sparing medicine. It is ideal for sufferers of insulin resistance or
pcos. Although it hasn't completely stopped the unwanted hair growth it has been
the only thing that has made a significant difference by slowing it down
drastically. It has also slowed the hair-loss down significantly in which I am
very pleased with."
"I have taken spironolactone
for almost 3 years now and have been extremely pleased with it's effect on my
hirsutism. I used to bleach my facial hair regularly and had dark hair on my
arms. Now the fine hair on my face is blonde and hardly noticable and the arm
hair is very light and thinner."
"I was diagnosed with
polycystic ovaries a couple years ago, having missed a couple periods and
showing increased testosterone levels in my bloodwork. My dermatologist was
actually the one to prescribe spironolactone - for my acne. While I haven't
noticed a huge difference in terms of my skin problems, my periods have finally
gotten more regular (31- to 33-day cycle, approximately) when taking 45 mg/day.
I've noticed no side effects while taking spironolactone."
Metformin
(Glucophage) is effective in reducing the blood levels of glucose and
insulin. The liver produces excess glucose in women with PCOS even though
they conform rigidly to the low-carbohydrate diet recommended below. The
pancreas responds to the excess glucose by increasing the insulin level. These
undesirable body responses are among the major causes for PCOS. Glucophage XR
has been more closely associated with weight loss than generic Metformin. Glucophage can
be taken by women who are not diabetic. It does not reduce the glucose to an
extreme (hypoglycemia) in women who are not diabetic and who are also on the low-carbohydrate
diet presented here. It reduces the levels of blood glucose and insulin to a more
normal level.
"Metformin is an
antihyperglycemic agent which improves glucose tolerance in patients with type
2 diabetes, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. Its
pharmacologic mechanisms of action are different from other classes of oral
antihyperglycemic agents. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production,
decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity
by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Unlike sulfonylureas,
metformin does not produce hypoglycemia in either patients with type 2
diabetes or normal subjects (except in special circumstances, see PRECAUTIONS)
and does not cause hyperinsulinemia. With metformin therapy, insulin secretion
remains unchanged while fasting insulin levels and day-long plasma insulin
response may actually decrease."
"Pregnancy"
"Teratogenic Effects:
Pregnancy Category B"
"Recent information strongly
suggests that abnormal blood glucose levels during pregnancy are associated
with a higher incidence of congenital abnormalities. Most experts recommend
that insulin be used during pregnancy to maintain blood glucose levels as
close to normal as possible. Because animal reproduction studies are not
always predictive of human response, Glucophage and Glucophage XR should not
be used during pregnancy unless clearly needed."
"There are no adequate and
well-controlled studies in pregnant women with Glucophage or Glucophage XR.
Metformin was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits at doses up to 600 mg/kg/day.
This represents an exposure of about two and six times the maximum recommended
human daily dose of 2000 mg based on body surface area comparisons for rats
and rabbits, respectively. Determination of fetal concentrations demonstrated
a partial placental barrier to metformin."
Dutasteride
(Avodart) is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of enlarged
prostate in middle-aged and elderly men. It prevents the conversion of
testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which reverses the symptoms of an enlarged
prostate and male-pattern baldness. The drug has been recommended as a treatment
for male-pattern baldness in women with PCOS. Avodart is well tolerated even in
higher doses and does not present any problems when taken with other drugs. It
is very specific and effective in treating the root causes, not just the
symptoms.
"Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the androgen primarily responsible for the initial development and subsequent enlargement of the prostate gland. Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme 5α-reductase, which exists as 2
isoforms, type 1 and type 2. The type 2 isoenzyme is primarily active in the reproductive tissues, while the type 1 isoenzyme is also responsible for testosterone conversion in the skin and
liver.
Dutasteride is a competitive and specific inhibitor of both type 1 and type 2 5α-reductase
isoenzymes, with which it forms a stable enzyme complex. Dissociation from this complex has been evaluated under in vitro and in vivo conditions and is extremely slow. Dutasteride does not bind to the human androgen receptor."
People with the experience and
training in self-administering drugs can purchase drugs online without a
prescription for personal use on
the following International websites. The drugs must be
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. The FDA
does not prevent importation when the drugs appear not to present a serious
risk. Previous orders placed with these pharmacies have been completely satisfactory.
Are Internet Drugs Safe? The
manufacturer of a drug that can be purchased over the Internet should be
reviewed to insure the quality of the company. Search for the manufacturer's
website before placing the order. The drugs received should be packaged in
special bubble wrap packages with the manufacturer's name, drug name, and dosage
clearly printed. The complexity of the package and the printing
indicates authenticity. Receiving tablets or capsules that are packaged loose in
a plain bottle or simple box is totally unacceptable. Some of the suppliers
above ship high-quality generic and name brand drugs from multibillion dollar
international pharmaceutical companies such as Ranbaxy
Laboratories (India), GlaxoKlineSmith
(United Kingdom), CIPLA,
Limited
(India), Sun
Pharmaceuticals Industries, LTD. (India), Surya
Pharma (India), Unichem
Laboratories Limited (India), Mega
Fine Pharma (India), Ind-Swift
Limited (India), Dr.
Reddy's Pharmaceutical Company (worldwide), and Stada
Arzneimittel AG (Germany). Avoid all drugs made in China.
Are Prescription Drugs Bad for
Us? Most people have become extremely resistant to taking prescription
drugs until they are faced with the choice between taking a drug or certain
death. Most doctors hesitate to prescribe antibiotics based on the false logic
that drugs create drug-resistant bacteria. The doctors would rather sacrifice
the patient for what they feel is for the higher good of society. Another
example is the hesitancy of most doctors to prescribe an antibiotic when the
patient is suspected of having common food poisoning. The physicians use the
false logic that the patient's immune system is sufficient to make him better
in a few days. The doctor may also fail to test for the pathogen which could
later be found to be deadly. A common e-Coli bacterial infection can cause
permanent liver damage and death. Food poisoning causes 4,000 deaths in the
United States every year.
Some prescription drugs have been
found to cause death, and many have been pulled off the market by the US-FDA.
Other drugs have serious negative side effects, but the bad drugs should not
be used as a blanket to label all drugs as unacceptable. Many drugs are
awesome. As an example, I ate some raw green pepper for lunch one day which
was contaminated with a pathogenic bacteria, resulting in typical food
poisoning symptoms. I immediately took one 500 mg tablet of Cipro. Some
doctors avoid prescribing Cipro because of negative side effects; however, the
food poisoning symptoms soon dissipated, and I ate a full prime rib dinner without any recurrence of the symptoms. Placing a blanket rejection
label on all prescription drugs can be dangerously unhealthy.
Are Generic Prescription Drugs
Safe? Generic drugs purchased from your local drugstore may not be as safe
as Internet drugs even though you purchased them with a doctor's prescription.
In some cases you may not know the origin of manufacture. The drugs are
handled in bulk rather than safety bubble wrap. They may have come from China
where impurities in food, supplements, and drugs are common. They could contain
heavy metals, carcinogens, or toxic trace chemicals. Don't assume you are getting
the best quality drugs simply because you purchased them with a doctor's
prescription from your local pharmacy on your health insurance.
Testimonials
A
college student's mother writes.
"By
the way, my daughter is much better… she’s stopped being a
vegetarian (yay!), cut way back on the jogging, got her period back
(after 8 months!) and her bowels seem better too… Thanks for all your
encouragement."
A
wife and husband describe their "miracle" baby.
"We were thrilled to hear from you both and appreciate your kind interest in us and our 'miracle baby' Rachel! She will be 1 year old on July 21st! What a year it has been and she is such a blessing!
Sure, I will be happy to re-tell our little story as we are so thankful and I am
eternally grateful for all of the works that you have published regarding human health and pregnancy. God guided me to you and to one of the best decisions of my life.
About a year after my husband
and I had been married, we made the decision to be free of birth control methods and allow our plans to have children to take its course. Unfortunately, after 2 years of no luck with conception, we both became discouraged. Not realizing the barrier I was creating for myself (at that time), I had been a vegetarian for the prior 18 years. I spent nearly a year reading, researching and praying for all that we could do to assist our attempts at pregnancy. During this time of intense study, I stumbled upon your website and numerous articles related to human health, food choices and
fertility. At that time, I had the free use of office equipment and I printed page after page of your reports, organized them all by subject matter and read them each twice. I prayed over what God was trying to tell me: "I know that you have been a vegetarian for many years and you have felt that was the right lifestyle for you, but that lifestyle choice may be the very thing that is keeping your body in hibernation as far as fertility is concerned." I finally listened to my Heart on the matter and let my husband know of my decision.
Within 6 months of my husband and I bringing meat and full fat dairy foods back into our home and back into our daily meals, we were Blessed with Conception! I continued your recommended diet plan (for
pregnancy and conception) throughout the pregnancy, didn't gain too much baby weight and was back to my pre-pregnancy weight within the first month.
Since our baby girl's birth I have nursed her only; she never consumed
commercial baby formula and now in her nearly 12th month she is making her conversion to whole cow's milk, both fresh and powdered. When we began introducing table foods (at about 6 months) she was offered only
high-protein foods (eggs, meats), vegetables, few carbohydrate foods and yogurt. I have prepared nearly all of her foods at home with a mini food processor and she basically eats what we eat, just chopped or pureed as necessary.
Rachel is a picture of health and has never been treated by a doctor for illness. She has never experienced the frequent ear aches, fevers, sore throats, colds, etc. shared by so many children that I hear about. She has been saying words for several months, sings/dances, "reads" books, has been walking since her 10th month and tries to lift every (heavy) thing she finds interesting! One of her Grandmothers calls her "little BamBam" sometimes because she is so strong!

Warning!
This diet program works.
Start shopping for baby furniture if you are not using birth control.
This diet reverses the symptoms of PCOS
and promotes natural fertility. Artificial hormones used to increase fertility
should be discontinued. It is suggested that a women seeking to become pregnant
actually use a non-hormonal method of birth control for several months in order
to prevent another premature miscarriage or the conception of a baby
with birth defects. The mother's body must be given a chance to heal. All of her
hormones (insulin, adrenal hormones and all of the sex hormones) must be given
time to adjust to normal. Her body must heal in order for a healthy conception
that will produce a 10-point baby. A high-fat, high-cholesterol,
high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet produces healthy hormones in women. This diet includes unlimited amounts of eggs, real butter, cheese, red
meat, fowl, fish, and seafood, including generous amounts of all the fats
contained therein. This is a high-fat diet in which 70% of the calories are
obtained from animal fats, avocados, and coconut oil.

contained therein, have a strong, natural, healthy sex drive. Couples in their
mid-sixties enjoy natural sex several times a week without stimulating drugs while both achieve
orgasm. A strong sex drive on the high-cholesterol, high-fat diet is natural because the diet is
scientifically based. Cholesterol is the precursor for the body's manufacture
of the natural sex hormones. The proper balance of hormones will cure many
infertility problems and other symptoms of PCOS. This diet program can be found
in my book:
Cholesterol is the precursor to the
adrenal hormones cortisol, corticosterone, aldosterone, and androstenedione. A
low-cholesterol diet disrupts the production of these essential hormones. The
result is often called "adrenal burnout," with symptoms of constant
fatigue that are not relieved by rest or sleep. Other common symptoms may include a
craving for sweets, low blood pressure, and low blood sugar. Psychological symptoms may
include depression, irritability, negativity, and an attitude of hopelessness.
Adrenal burnout is also called adrenal hypo function, exhaustion, or
insufficiency. The body's energy system is seriously disrupted. People with
a low level of adrenal hormones may suffer from impaired digestion and be
prone to infections. Adrenal burnout is seen more often in women than men
because women tend to conform more closely to the low-cholesterol diet, low-fat
diet guidelines.
Surprisingly diet is seldom targeted
as the cause for low adrenal hormone production even though it is common among
people eating a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. It is especially prominent among
vegetarians because their diet is typically ultra low-cholesterol and low-saturated fat
but high in omega-6 vegetable fatty acids. These groups try to stimulate the adrenal
gland with herbal products and Chinese medicine without success. The topics in
vegetarian and Chinese medicine books show the extent of their unsuccessful struggle
with adrenal burnout on the low-cholesterol, low-fat, low-calorie diet.
The high-cholesterol, high-fat diet
supported here produces awesome adrenal hormone production. The positive effects
of optimism, energy, and enthusiasm for life are achieved in a very short time.
The symptoms of adrenal burnout are reversed within a few months. This
achievement is obtained simply by eating the correct foods, mainly animal
products.
Adrenal burnout, insufficiency, and adrenal fatigue
are often misdiagnosed as "low metabolism." We see low-cholesterol, low-fat dieters consistently misdiagnosing
their low level of adrenal hormones by thinking they have developed a
"low-metabolism" problem. In actuality their extremely high-carbohydrate diet is already pumping an outrageous amount of blood glucose
and insulin into the body. This high-glucose and high insulin diet should drive their metabolisms
through the roof, but the adrenal hormone deficiency makes them feel like they are
starving to death with no energy, depression, and a strong craving for more glucose in the
form of sweets.
The adrenal gland and all cells of
the body also require a broad list of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty
acids; therefore, the diet must include supplementation of these dietary
essentials in order to optimize health. The vegetarian diet is deficient in many
vitamins, minerals, protein, cholesterol, and essential fatty acids. These
deficiencies combined cause adrenal burnout.
In the Bible Book of Genesis,
Chapter 3, we read that Satan first temped the woman, Eve, to eat forbidden food
from the tree in the middle of the Garden. She ate from the forbidden tree and
lulled her husband, Adam, into believing Satan, disbelieving God, and dragging
all humanity into sin. Adam and Eve were both punished for their gullibility and
disobedience. They were thrown out of the Garden of Eden. God posted a guard at
the entrance to prevent their return. They were separated spiritually from God.
Adam was forced to strive for a living by the sweat of his brow. Eve could not
be trusted as a leader because she was easily deceived. Therefore, the man was
placed as head over the woman. She was cursed with pain during childbirth.
Satan is still working through the woman to destroy the family.
Satan is still deceiving women about food and diet just as he did with Eve in
the Garden of Eden. The wife has a lead role in the preparation of the meals for
the family and making major decisions about diet. Satan continues to lie to
the woman with false information about food, diet, and health.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that saturated fats are
unhealthy.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that red meat is
unhealthy.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that cholesterol is
unhealthy.

eat lots of fruit.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that the family should
eat lots of whole grains.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that a high-carbohydrate
diet is healthy.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that a low-fat diet is

healthy.
Women typically believe Satan's lie that cheese made from
cows' milk is unhealthy.
The Latest News About
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
(PCOS)
"The binge-eating disorder bulimia may, in some cases, be linked to a sex hormone imbalance, research suggests."
In this report the doctor
incorrectly suggests that the bulimia, binge-eating disorder is caused by a
hormone imbalance. This mistake was made because most doctors do not understand
the close connection between diet and the balance of the sex hormones. The
female subjects had a higher than normal level of testosterone that revealed
itself in blood tests and male-like symptoms of facial hair growth. The true
cause of bulimia is a high-carbohydrate, low-cholesterol, low-fat diet that
causes hyper insulin resistance and a condition called Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). The women have an imbalance of sex hormones because of
the low-cholesterol diet. They are bulimic because it is an easy way for them to
keep from gaining weight on the high-carbohydrate diet. The purging makes the
hormone imbalance worse because cholesterol is purged along with the food that
was eaten. Giving the women hormone therapy will not correct any of the
problems. The cure is only possible by eating the diet presented here.
"An obesity pill which can help women drop two dress sizes in a year has been hailed by scientists after stunning test results."
"A course of one a day could have a dramatic effect on quality of life and cut the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Many slimmers find that, after weeks of successfully losing weight, their metabolism slows down and they hit a plateau. With the pounds slower to come off, many lose their resolve and end up piling weight back on."
"Excalia gets round this by tricking the hypothalamus - the brain's weight and appetite thermostat - into keeping the metabolism running fast."
Don't expect this new drug to
perform as claimed in the news report. Oh yes, the patient may indeed lose
weight as claimed, but increasing the metabolism will increase blood glucose
and blood insulin levels. These changes promote heart disease, diabetes, and
cancer. The news reporters make the mistake of assuming a reduction in weight
equates to a reduction in the risks for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
The drug will most likely cause an increase in insulin resistance that is a
dangerous signal of impending incidences of heart disease, diabetes, and
cancer. A high metabolism is unhealthy. A low metabolism and ideal weight lead to the most healthy state,
and that can only be achieved on a low-carbohydrate diet.
This big study costing millions of
dollars was a slam against the low-fat diet, but read the above report with
caution. Some of the statements made about Dr. Robert C. Atkins are blatant
lies. The article states, "Robert Atkins, keeled over weighing 258
lbs." These statements are lies. Dr. Robert C. Atkins was still caring for
patients in his medical practice when he suffered a fatal head injury in an
accidental fall on an icy sidewalk as he walked to work at age 72. He was
healthy and trim at about 195 lbs. at the time of the accident. He never
regained consciousness and suffered kidney failure before his death resulting in
an excessive accumulation of body fluids. These lies are typical of those
propagated by supporters of the low-fat diet dogma.
