Exposing the Secret Killer

With all the benefits of our advanced medical system, we are failing horribly short in the area of true prevention by failing to recognize the basic causes of disease. Our cells, the very building block of every organ of our bodies, are being starved of essential nutrition and poisoned by the accumulation of metabolic waste. In addition, a high degree of stress contributes to cellular breakdown which becomes the core of almost every disease, by whatever diagnostic label we use.

Current research from university medical centers is clarifying the role of inflammation as an important cause of chronic disease. Inflammation is usually associated with physical injury like a sprained ankle where the damaged area becomes red, warm, swollen, and painful. This response is a short-term “inflammatory” process which represents the effort of the body to heal the damage and reduce the chance for further injury. But chronic, long-term inflammation is becoming accepted as the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, obesity and Type 2 diabetes among others.

Metabolic Syndrome or Insulin Resistance Syndrome is a pre-diabetic condition caused by a progressive cellular resistance to insulin, rise in blood sugar and the resulting toxic effects of excessive glucose which damages the cells leading to an inflammatory response.

This chronic cellular inflammation is driven by the Metabolic Syndrome, toxicity, stress and other factors. This “inflammation response” to cellular injury is now being considered the root cause of between 100 and 150 chronic degenerative diseases, including obesity, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

The good news is that this condition is preventable and often reversible, once it is understood. We can quench it before we are confronted with catastrophic disease. An anti-inflammatory diet, targeted nutritional supplements, and stress relief are some of the components of a comprehensive approach to ‘quenching the fire within’ and truly preventing disease states.

(“Exposing the Secret Killer” was written by Bill Bergman, M.D. for the September, 2011 issue of “Natural Awakenings- Denver/Boulder Mile High Edition”)

Try this Targeted Nutritional Supplement . . .

There’s a natural supplement you hear us talking about a lot here at Feel Good Buzz because it has been independently studied and proven to do some pretty incredible things for the body! It’s effectiveness is actually clinically proven and patented, as a natural anti-inflammatory as well! (Our arthritis clients are usually the first to notice improved health when they take this supplement.)

This patent was granted to the makers of Protandim, LifeVantage, in September of 2009. (The patent states that Protandim lowers the amount of C-reactive protein in the body. C-reactive protein is widely considered by doctors and researchers as an indicator of the amount of inflammation present in the body. Elevated base levels of C-reactive protein are considered risk factors for diabetes (high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure), and cardiovascular (heart) disease.)

How to Get Inexpensive, Fresh, Organic Produce 24/7/365

There really is no substitute for fresh, organic produce for nutrition and taste!

Whether you’re aware of the cost of food going up or not, fresh, organic produce can be one of the most expensive items on the weekly grocery list. Even if you’re a gardener, if you live in a four season climate, obtaining fresh, inexpensive, pesticide-free produce can be a challenge during non-summer months.

One alternative to this dilemma is to build your own greenhouse. There are a lot of different greenhouse design options. Factors that often deter the average person from building his or her own greenhouse are expense and the extra power requirements needed to heat them.

However, at Feel Good Buzz, we recently discovered the geodesic dome greenhouse model, which is the least expensive to build and the most efficient to maintain.

Buckminster Fuller invented the geodesic dome in the 1940s. “Bucky” Fuller was an American engineer, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist who lived until 1983. His main intention for the geodesic dome was to use it to produce ecologically efficient housing for the mass market. The geodesic system consists of dividing a sphere into equal triangles so that the surface structure of a dome could be more easily made. The similarity of the triangles makes the domes easier to construct and benefits by being structurally strong. The overall strength is distributed evenly. Fuller insisted upon the minimal use of materials. Therefore the construction of the domes made them lightweight, transportable and easily assembled. (Excerpted from http://www.design-technology.org/page1.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Buckminster_Fuller)

Benefits of Having a Biodome:

Drastically improved health
Reduced/eliminated grocery bills and gasoline expenses
Food 24/7/365 (even in Alaska or Northern Canada!)
Experience greater harmony with nature
Reduced stress
Greater sense of empowerment
More free time
You can easily integrate it with an aquaponics system (For more on aquaponics, see our recent “How to Grow your Own Organic Fish!” post at http://www.feelgoodbuzz.com/how-to-grow-your-own-organic-fish.html.)

Geodesic Biodome vs Traditional Greenhouse Designs:

If built right, the biodome structure can withstand earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes.
Biodomes are cheaper to build. (A dome with a 40’ diameter only costs $500-700 to build; whereas traditional, pre-fabricated greenhouses can be $10,000 to $20,000!)
Biodomes are portable/non-permanent structures which can be disassembled and moved, if needed.
Biodomes are more cost effective and efficient to heat, because air likes to move in circles.
The biodome’s circular design is more nurturing to body and soul.
The geodesic biodome requires no electricity!

How to Grow your Own Organic Fish!

Here’s a quick refresher for our new readers . . . At Feel Good Buzz, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy life to its fullest. Being able to have and maintain good health is a critical foundation for truly celebrating and enjoying a long, healthy, happy life. When it comes to great health, we’ve discovered that going natural is the best insurance policy. That is why we recommend consuming only certified organic and/or pesticide and toxin-free foods and products as much as possible.

We strive to make living naturally simple, convenient, fun, and affordable, but we know that affordability is a big issue for many people . . . You may have already noticed that the cost of food, in all sectors, is increasing. In fact, food costs are predicted to go up by as much as 30% in the near future. Since toxin-free products and healthier, organic foods tend to be more expensive anyway, we are concerned that consumers will be forced to jeopardize their health by buying less healthy foods and products in order to cope with the rising costs.

In our June 2011 post “Easy and Healthy Protein Snack,” (http://www.feelgoodbuzz.com/ easy-and-healthy-protein-snack.html), we shared that active individuals need to consume about 88 grams of protein per day. (That’s actually a higher amount than the recommended daily allowances tell us.) One of the most expensive and important foods we buy to fulfill our daily protein requirements is animal, (fish, meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, etc.), sources of protein. Organic or natural sources of animal protein are even more costly, but necessary for good health, so now that the cost of food is going up, what’s a person to do? . . .

Well, what if we could grow our own fresh fish protein source through aquaponics? (If you’ve never heard of this term before, don’t worry, because neither have most people.)

Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, re-circulating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish wastes to plant nutrients. This is an environmentally-friendly, natural food growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers. (Source: http://aquaponicscommunity.com/page/what-is-aquaponics)

Good reasons to start your own mini aquaponic farm today:

You have nothing to lose because it doesn’t require a large amount of money or time. What you’ll need is a few containers for the fish and vegetables, an oxygenizer for the fish tank and another few materials to complete the building of the system. (These are all relatively cheap.)
The system is easy and affordable to set up and can be placed anywhere in the house or garage, provided that you have enough light for the plants to develop normally. You can do it yourself from beginning to end, so there are no costs associated with the installment.
You can start with almost any type of plant. This means, having your heart’s desire of readily available vegetables for dinner which you can harvest on the spot, from your own aquaponic garden, without any hassle! The best thing is that they are all natural, organic plants which will taste better and be far cheaper than the ones from the market.
You will no longer have to pay a small fortune to enjoy meals with organic ingredients. You will be more financially independent. And, because the system will pay itself off in less than one year, the crops and the fish you will get will just be extra profit. (You can use the extra for yourself or sell it to make extra money. How does that sound?!)
