San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 3, 2006 -- A diabetes epidemic is overtaking the United States and the rest of the world. In less than 20 years, governments and social security systems may go broke paying expenses generated by this preventable illness. Diabetes cases are expected to double before the year 2025, and their health care costs will increase from $163 billion per year to $396 billion or more.

But while hospitals and public health services gear up for what they describe as an inevitable catastrophe, a small but growing number of diabetes patients are learning how to lose weight, balance their blood sugar, reduce their bodies’ need for insulin, and heal complications such as leg ulcers and insufficient circulation in the toes and feet. They are doing this not by going on rigorous diets or exercise programs but rather by tapping with their fingertips on key acupuncture points while focusing on symptoms or emotional issues.

“EFT is bioenergetic medicine,” explains best-selling health author Joseph Mercola, D.O. “It’s based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the invasiveness of needles. This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmations works to clear the ‘short-circuits’ – the emotional blocks – from the body's bioenergy system, thus restoring the balance that is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease. More than any traditional or alternative method I have used or researched, EFT works.”

Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, agrees. "Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85 percent of all illnesses, including diabetes,” he says. “When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools, as it already is for me."

In one of many reports posted at the EFT website, Michael, a 59-year-old obese male, suffered from advanced type 2 diabetes, leg ulcers, and leg and back pain. After he learned EFT, which takes just a few minutes, his insulin requirement dropped from three injections per day to one per week, his blood sugar level dropped from 400 to 109, his leg ulcers began to heal, the blood pressure and circulation in his feet increased, his leg and back pain disappeared, and his energy level increased dramatically.

“Michael’s results may sound unusual,” says Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, “but in fact, his results are what EFT practitioners have come to expect. As soon as you remove energy blocks, the body often repairs itself without the use of prescription drugs or anything else. EFT is truly a universal healing tool and many physicians are adopting it.”

Over 225,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.

The EFT Manual explains the basics so that anyone can begin applying EFT right away. It can be freely downloaded at

Santa Rosa, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2006 -– EcoNugenics®, a leading dietary supplement company, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued the company US Patent No. 7,026,302. This important new patent protects the use of modified alginates and modified pectins in treating a wide range of diseases that may be caused or aggravated by heavy metals, environmental toxins or cholesterol. The diseases listed in the patent include arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, calcinosis, dermatomyositis, obesity, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes.

EcoNugenics® currently markets two products that are protected by this patent and earlier patents # 6,274,566 and #6,462,029: PectaSol® Modified Citrus Pectin and PectaSol® Chelation Complex. Based on the uses approved in this patent, the company intends to develop and bring to market two new products that will provide nutritional support to individuals with diabetes and high cholesterol.”

“This is excellent news. We are gratified that the US Patent Office has issued this patent, said Isaac Eliaz, MD, L.Ac., President and Founder of EcoNugenics®. “This issuance provides further validation of our strategy and gives us confidence to continue our research and development work on creating a product to address the rising prevalence of diabetes.”

According to the American Diabetes Association 20.8 million children and adults, 7.0% of the entire U.S. population are diabetic. This does not include approximately 41 million people who have pre-diabetes. 1.5 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 years or older in 2005. Diabetes can upset the balance between HDL and LDL levels. People with diabetes tend to have low HDL and high triglyceride levels, both of which boost the risk of heart and coronary artery disease.

The American Heart Association estimates that 99.9 million American adults have total blood cholesterol values of 200 mg/dL and higher, and of these about 34.5 million American adults have levels of 240 or above. In adults, total cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or higher are considered high risk. Levels from 200 to 239 mg/dL are considered borderline-high risk.

EcoNugenics® was founded in 1995 with a commitment to offering premium dietary supplements based on the best of modern science integrated with the ancient wisdom of traditional and complementary therapies.

2006-04-22T14:00:00.000-07:00

Citizens Commission on Human Rights is proud to announce the latest feature on our www.psychcrime.org website – a section for referral to attorneys.

CCHR is contacted regularly by individuals who have been harmed or violated by psychiatry, or whose loved ones have been harmed, damaged or even killed.

Examples of psychiatric abuse may include: rape, sexual assault, physical abuse, mis-diagnosis, harmful drugging, involuntary commitment, electroshock therapy, psychosurgery, harmful restraints, threatened with committal or punishment for refusal of treatment, coerced into hospitalization or treatment, insurance fraud.

These victims often seek attorneys and need attorneys to preserve their rights and to seek compensation for damages caused by psychiatric abuses and pharmaceutical injuries. CCHR therefore endeavors to get victims in contact with attorneys who are potentially interested in helping these individuals protect their rights and receive proper restitution for wrongdoing.

Therefore, CCHR has developed a section of our www.psychcrime.org website where information about psychiatric abuse cases are posted, sorted by location and type of abuse. Attorneys can then view these case files to see if there is someone they feel they could assist.

In addition to the abuse cases posted at the time of the section's launch, new cases will be added regularly.

Here is an opportunity for psychiatric abuse victims to get legal representation.

Please encourage individuals who have suffered psychiatric abuse to contact their local CCHR or fill out the Abuse Case Form on the website. A ttorneys who want to assist such abused individuals can fill out the Attorney Form for cases posted on the site. The attorney's name will then be provided to the potential client who can contact the attorney.

This service is being offered as a public service and there is no charge for it.

To report psychiatric abuse, call the CCHR St. Louis psychiatric Abuse Hot Line at (314) 729-2854.

Twelve Reasons to Avoid the South Beach Diet
Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.
Although millions of people have tried or are currently on the South Beach Diet, there are at least a dozen reasons why this Diet is flawed by a poor understanding of nutritional science.
(PRWEB) November 22, 2005 -- The South Beach Diet may be “The Diet Everyone’s Talking About” as proclaimed on the book’s jacket. However, despite the diet's popularity, there are at least a dozen reasons to re-think using it as your best option for successful (and healthy) long-term weight loss.So says Dr. Mercola, founder of the world's most visted natural health website Mercola.com. He believes that The South Beach Diet's popularity has more to do with its million-dollar-a-month marketing budget than its flawed prescription for weight loss.So why does The South Beach Diet head the wrong direction if you want a healthy solution to permanent weight loss?Reason #1: Although The South Beach Diet discusses the concept of good vs. bad carbs, Agatston mistakenly promotes whole grain breads and fruits as good carbs. Dr. Mercola believes this could be a prescription for disaster for South Beach dieters unknowingly affected by subclinical gluten sensitivity or for those who are highly sensitive to carbohydrates and struggle to control their insulin. Dr. Mercola recommends that you avoid all grains and sugars until insulin levels are normalized.Reason #2: Dr. Agatston promotes eating fish, despite the fact that today, nearly all fish from every type of water source are dangerously contaminated with the pollutants mercury and PCBs. Mercury is associated with nerve and brain tissue damage and birth defects. PCBs are linked to cancer and impaired fetal brain development. According to Dr. Mercola, “Either Agatston is not aware of this important issue or decided not to cover it; no mention is made that, to safely avoid the mercury and PCB issue in fish, while still getting proper omega-3 intake, substituting clean sources of bottled or capsule fish oil is by far the wisest option.”Reason #3: In The South Beach Diet, Agatston encourages the use of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (NutraSweet), despite the fact that many studies have linked them to a wide variety of diseases, including cancer, diabetes and various emotional disorders. Dr. Mercola recommends that you avoid artificial sweeteners completely.Reason #4: Dr. Mercola believes that Dr. Agatston’s most significant oversight may be his lack of understanding of trans fats. These artery-clogging fats, found in margarine, shortening and many foods such as french fries and doughnuts, increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Early in The South Beach Diet, Agatston states that trans fats are dangerous; yet, on page 54, he claims that french fries and potato chips are healthier choices than baked potatoes “ . . . because of the fat in which they’re cooked.” Dr. Mercola believes that french fries and potato chips are among the unhealthiest foods you could eat due to their extremely high levels of trans fats.Reason #5: Dr. Agatston appears unaware of the power of an optimized diet to normalize cholesterol, and apparently takes a statin drug to lower his own cholesterol, despite the dangers associated with statins. Dr. Mercola states: “It is quite possible to avoid taking statin drugs and supplements to normalize your cholesterol levels, and my patients have experienced amazing success by following my own Total Health Program. I encourage Dr. Agatston to give my program a try as well, so he can get off the statin drugs and avoid their risks.”Reasons 7- 12: To access the entire 12 Reasons you can go to the original South Beach article. Along with all the bio-nutritional reasons to avoid The South Beach Diet, Dr. Mercola points out that any effective long-term solution to weight loss must also address your emotional challenges, including cravings, food addictions, self-image issues and other self-sabotaging behavior. These issues are not addressed in Agatston’s book.Dr. Mercola also has a free online test that will help you determine which foods you are genetically designed to eat.

Silence during Childbirth

2005-11-16T05:48:00.000-08:00

Pregnant Mothers Choose Giving Birth in Silence --Prenatal Experience Can Influence Babies

While almost everyone knows that drug and alcohol abuse influence the health of the unborn, millions of people today also understand that spoken words can affect the intelligence and happiness of babies still in the womb. But why should pregnant women choose to give birth in silence?

(PRWEB) November 2, 2005 -- While almost everyone knows that drug and alcohol abuse influence the health of the unborn, millions of people today also understand that spoken words can affect the intelligence and happiness of babies still in the womb. And due to media buzz surrounding Hollywood celebrities subscribing to "silent birth" this message is getting out to millions more. But why should pregnant women choose to give birth in silence?

The connection between prenatal experience and later life difficulties suffered by children was first clearly explained in 1950 in the best-selling book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard. The book Dianetics (www.dianetics.org) has sold over 20 million copies and its methods have been tried and tested around the world. Hubbard explained that when an unborn child is bumped, knocked, squeezed - in short injured - in the womb and/or when the mother is giving birth, everything said by the mother or others in the vicinity is recorded below the awareness of the child in what Hubbard termed the child's "reactive mind."

Under certain circumstances the content of those recordings can be activated later in life and make a person act irrationally or otherwise limit his abilities and intelligence, explains Hubbard. Yet the person has no idea what is making him act or feel that way. Anyone could have such prenatal experiences - all of them potentially harmful when coupled with language, such as "he doesn’t want to come out," stated by a well-meaning doctor or nurse to a colleague.

The primary rule is silence when giving birth, according to Brittany Wadhams, who recently gave birth to her first son, Jack.

"I was as quiet as I could be and so were the doctor and assistants. My parents were present during the birth, and they were silent too. We wanted to do that for my baby," says Wadhams.

Hubbard goes further in regards to how pregnant women should be treated. “A woman who is pregnant should be given every consideration by a society which has any feeling for its future generations. If she falls, she should be helped-but silently.” And he adds, “The mother, then, should be extremely gentle on herself during pregnancy and those around her should be entirely informed of the necessity for silence after any jar or injury.”

As for the act of birth itself, he cautions, “A woman who wants her child to have the best possible chance will insist upon silence being maintained in the hospital delivery room as far as it is humanly possible.”

Since these discoveries were first announced by Hubbard in 1950, they have been applied by doctors and nurses around the world. After a six-year international investigation of research from America, Canada, England, France, Sweden, Germany, Austria, New Zealand and Switzerland, Thomas Verny, M.D. wrote, "...the unborn child is a feeling, remembering, aware being, and because he is, what happens to him-what happens to any of us-in the nine months between conception and birth molds and shapes personality, and drives ambitions in very important ways."

Conclusion - silence is indeed golden for women giving birth.

Impressive New Weight Loss Breakthrough that Really Works

We have discovered a new and effective treatment for weight management and obesity associated with type 2 diabetes. Two tablets taken with regular meals is sufficient to significantly reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides as well as body weight by about 1-1½ pounds per week. Invented by two university professors this all natural dietary fiber has no known side effects.

(PRWEB) September 20, 2005 -- A new discovery is available for the first time that uses a new and different approach to weight loss that can work for most people without a change in diet.

More Americans are overweight than ever before and this is causing an increase in health problems in the US population. Being obese can take years off your life and the younger you are the more years you lose according to researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. More and more young people are facing weight loss issues that will have health consequences in the future.

Complications from obesity are now well known with increased risk of developing many problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Weight loss and prevention of diabetes go hand in hand.

When Dr. George Grunberger founded his diabetes research institute in 2002 one of his stated goals was to bring new treatments to people with diabetes and to help eradicate the disease. After a long career in research with the National Institute of Health and continuing research and teaching at Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center he works toward that goal every day seeing patients at the Grunberger Diabetes Institute.

An exciting new addition to his institute, located at 43494 Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan is the availability of a new and different weight loss discovery. Invented by two professors from Wayne State University, in Detroit, this remarkable product has the ability to remove 500 calories of fat a day from the typical American diet. Joe Artiss, PhD., one of the two inventors said “It’s a Fat Binding Complexer, so we called it FBCx. It converts fat in the diet to a non digestible complex that just passes through.”

Dr Grunberger first heard about this exciting discovery when he was asked to do a study on patients with diabetes, using FBCx and a placebo, in a double blind study format. This means neither Dr. Grunberger nor his patients knew who was getting the product or a harmless substitute. Recently, after peer review, the results of the study were presented at the Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association annual meeting in San Diego.

The important results of the study showed that FBCx was effective in reducing and/or maintaining body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes. It was easily incorporated into diabetes management regimen and was shown to be effective in reducing blood lipid levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. It lowered fat in the blood.
Dr. Grunberger states that: “About 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese and obesity is the number two preventable cause of death in the US.” Until this new discovery, FBCx, “There was no known effective way to keep weight off.”

Cathy Jen, PhD is the co-discoverer along with Dr. Artiss. Dr. Jen states: “This is an all natural soluble fiber derived from corn. One gram of this fiber binds nine grams of fat in the diet.” Dr. Artiss adds that they recently received their first United States patent for the discovery and that they now have all required Federal approvals so the product is available for the first time. FBCx is manufactured in the US.

In addition to the study on people with diabetes, the new invention has been studied in quite a number of individuals that do not have diabetes and seems to work best in some of the individuals who need it the most. In addition to their weight loss study subjects experienced a significant lowering of their triglycerides as well as both their total and LDL or “bad” cholesterol. Generally the heaviest people lost the most weight. Weight loss up to 40 pounds has been reported.

“One of the first people we tried it on is an engineering contractor in his fifties who was morbidly overweight.” Said Artiss: “He lost weight immediately, has lost a total of 42 pounds so far and is still losing weight. He even had dramatic improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides with no change in diet and no side effects.”

Drs. Grunberger, Artiss and Jen were excited to present the results at the American Diabetes Conference. The response was really encouraging said Artiss. “Doctors and research scientists were lined up at our booth, at times, for the latest information. There is really too much information to explain in detail here but people can find more at the website we set up: www.artjen.net.”

Since the founding of the Grunberger Diabetes Institute this is the first time Dr. Grunberger even considered making a product of this nature available in his office. “We try to employ a multi disciplinary approach and not just write a prescription. We treat the whole patient including lifestyle, diet, exercise and education. And of course we have our ongoing research including two more studies in development to look at other aspects of FBCx.”

Dr. Grunberger says: “Our philosophy is to do all we can to treat and prevent diabetes and the use of FBCx in body weight management is an important tool to help people with diabetes and others. Effective management of body weight is really important for folks with diabetes and may actually delay or even prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in some high-risk individuals.”

After long and distinguished careers in research and teaching Drs. Artiss and Jen are enjoying the accolades received from grateful weight loss subjects. “We feel really good when we can help our research subjects and customers lose weight and it’s nice to know we’re doing some good.”

Health Habits Weigh More Than Pounds on the Scale
Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

Medical research is mounting that drastic fluctuations in weight are potentially more fatal than being obese. When you get right down to it, rather than focus on what the scale says, health habits are the key to longevity and staving off illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

(PRWEB) August 14, 2005 -- Lynn is your typical adult. She has a family reunion next month and wants to lose a lot of weight in a hurry. Twenty pounds later she is thinner but develops some unhealthy eating attitudes and behaviors. She finds that when she does eat, she sometimes can’t stop, especially if it is her favorite "forbidden" food. She obsesses about her weight, day and night, and finds herself spending more time on the scale than with her husband. Worst of all, she feels really depressed, despite having a great job, wonderful family, and an even greater future ahead. But she is so desperate to lose weight, she doesn’t even realize that what she is experiencing is a sign of poor emotional and physical health.

If commercial diet programs are taken to an extreme, mild symptoms can emerge which mimic the binge eating and severe restriction seen in Bulimia and Anorexia. Commercial diet programs work well, but in order to achieve long term success, you need to concentrate on both sensible and reasonable goals. If you try to lose weight too fast or unnecessarily, your body’s survival instinct can launch you into a cycle of weight loss and gain, referred to as weight cycling. In fact, medical research is mounting that these drastic fluctuations in weight are potentially more fatal than being obese. When you get right down to it, rather than focus on what the scale says, health habits are the key to longevity and staving off illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

A publication from the National Center for Health Statistics and Cornell University analyzed over 500,0000 men and women and concluded that weighing up to 50 pounds overweight increases the risk of death only slightly in men and not at all in women. Extremely thin men, however, had a risk of premature death equal to that of men who were extremely overweight. Researchers at the University of Tennessee looked at the coronary angiograms of more than 4,500 men and women and found that that the risk of coronary disease actually decreased as body weight moderately increased. Data on more than 32,000 men and women indicated that the fittest men and women have the lowest death rates, regardless of what they weigh. As you can see, in some cases it is not the extra weight that affects longevity, health habits do.

Due to the risk of weight cycling, researchers are suggesting the possibility that exercise, rather than extreme dieting, is more critical to overall health. Regardless of the amount of weight lost, moderate exercise reduces the death rate from 75% to 20% in morbidly obese individuals. When an overweight person begins to exercise, well before they reach their goal weight, their health improves to the point where they are 55% less likely to die prematurely. As long as weight loss is maintained, even small losses (5-10% of weight) can improve high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Diabetes and Glyconutrients

2005-08-09T11:46:00.000-07:00

Can Your Doctor Spell Glyconutrients?

A New Website was Launched This Week To Educate The Public About Glyconutrients.

(PRWEB) August 4, 2005 -- "Forget about the common everyday person; most doctors have no idea what a glyconutrient is or how your body uses them " says Conrad Dubois Jr., owner and author of a new health information site about glyconutrients.

Dubois claims that there is just a whole lot of misinformation out there. He's hoping to help people understand exactly what these things called glyconutrients are, how they work, and what benefits people might receive by supplementing them into their diets.

"Glyconutrients are not herbs, vitamins, minerals, or ancient Chinese remedies" said Dubois. "They're nutrients that science has actually proven are essential to our health and well being. The problem is that very few people in the healthcare industry are aware of that"
he said.

Dubois explained that glyconutrients are not a substitute for drugs, but rather they are complimentary. They're really classified as nutraceuticals. He says that over the last decade, science has learned that these nutrients are at the core of cell to cell communication. Miscommunication within the body is the central issue in many ailments including asthma, fibromyalgia, Type 1 diabetes, and many other autoimmune diseases. The discovery of just how important glyconutrients are in cell to cell communication has fueled a huge increase across the world in the study of glycobiology.

"We know that every single drug company, as well as plenty of other organizations, are feverishly studying how these glyconutrients help our bodies fight and/or prevent disease. What the public doesn't know is that those glyconutrients are actually available today in their natural state."

Dubois added, "Call it anecdotal evidence or whatever you like, but there's no denying the fact that numerous people who've added these nutrients to their diets have seen remarkable changes in their state of health. It's not the public's fault that the healthcare industry refuses to acknowledge that" he said.

For those wishing to learn more about glyconutrients, Dubois offers detailed information at his website. He also says that he'll gladly answer any questions via email or phone. You can find out more information about glyconutrients by visiting the following website: http://www.glyconutrients-information.com.

CODEX/Pharma-Friendly Legislative Assault Threatens US Health Freedom: Nutrient 'Adverse Event Reporting' Distorts Supplement Safety, Ignores Drug Dangers

Are Pharma-friendly Congressmen introducing bills clearing the path for harmonization with pro-illness provisions in CODEX by making supplements unavailable either directly or by stealth? The remarkable safety of inexpensive and effective supplements is a direct market threat to dangerous and expensive drugs. Four bills and an amendment designed to end Americans' access to nutrients and supplements have been introduced into Congress.

(PRWEB) July 27, 2005 -- Are Pharma-friendly Congressmen introducing bills clearing the path for harmonization with pro-illness provisions in CODEX by making supplements unavailable either directly or by stealth?

The remarkable safety of inexpensive and effective supplements is a direct market threat to dangerous and expensive drugs. Four bills and an amendment designed to end Americans' access to nutrients and supplements have been introduced into Congress.

Rima E. Laibow, MD, Medical Director of the pro-health freedom Natural Solutions Foundation notes that "The continuing corporate assault on natural medicine choices has taken a dangerous twist via coordinated legislative attacks in Congress on American's right to make natural health choices. Americans use nutritional supplements in chronic degenerative diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease. These killer diseases are poorly prevented or treated with highly profitable drugs while natural approaches usually offer better outcomes and more relief than drugs can without side effects and toxicity."

She estimates that every dollar of the $20 billion supplement industry probably costs Big Pharma $40 in direct and indirect lost revenue.

"No wonder Big Pharma lobbies Congress at nearly $1 Billion per year: healthy people are bad for their business!" she said.

Pharma-friendly, CODEX-ready legislation has been introduced into Congress which directly or indirectly guts the legislative protection classifying nutritional supplements as foods (for which no upper limits are permitted as unanimously enacted by Congress in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 [DSHEA).

Once the DSHEA's protection is removed, there will be no barrier left to harmonization with CODEX standards like the recently ratified Vitamin and Mineral Guideline.

Amendments to appropriations (e.g., Sen. Durbin's SA 1379) and bills (e.g., Pallone's HR 2510 and Davis' HR 3156) call for, among other things, an "adverse events reporting" requirement for nutrients despite the fact that no such system exists for much more dangerous drugs. This system would give the nutrient-hostile FDA ammunition to remove supplements which have supposedly been potentially harmful.

Davis' bill explicitly gives the FDA power to remove nutrients from the market if there is a theoretical risk even if no harm has ever been associated with the item. No such reporting requirement exists for drugs, including deadly ones like Vioxx (which the FDA blames for 55,000-188,000 American deaths), despite drug toxicity and dangers.

Laws that protect access to nutrition, like DSHEA, undercut pharmaceutical profits. Dietary supplements have an astonishing safety record: there are no deaths conclusively associated with any supplement despite hundreds of millions of doses while complications associated with even "properly used" pharmaceuticals are the fourth leading cause of death in the US while pharmaceutical "medical misadventure" causes more U.S. deaths than heart disease, the number 1 disease-related killer.

Additional bills (e.g., Burton/Pallone's HR 2485 and Gregg/Frist, et. al, S 3) attack nutrients in other ways. HR 2485 calls for "full implementation of DSHEA" which, despite its supplement-friendly sound, would implement excessive "good manufacturing practices" which are more stringent than those to which pharmaceutical companies are subjected. This would drive most small and medium-sized manufacturers out of business.

S 3 eliminates pharmaceutical liability and removes much-needed legal remedies for people harmed by vaccines, including autistic children.

The Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, is a leading health freedom advocacy organization. They have mounted significant opposition to these pro-illness bills through grass-roots campaigns. More than 80 percent of Americans used nutritional supplements to deal with premature aging and chronic diseases of under nutrition like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke, auto-immune diseases, asthma and arthritis. These diseases are increasingly common and produce huge profits for the pharmaceutical industry. Despite this, the safest, cheapest and most effective approach for each of them is nutritional supplementation, not pharmaceutical treatment.

Big Pharma's nearly $800 million Congressional lobbying investment has apparently bought enough friends to create this legislative assault on natural health choices. Just as in the mid 1990's when millions of health-focused Americans flooded Congress to assure passage of DSHEA, the tide of public health concern is rising against this Congressional assault on its health freedom.

Hwa-Yu Tai Chi - a Diabetes cure??

2005-08-05T06:47:00.000-07:00

New Tai Chi Website Reveals 1,000 Year Old Healthcare Secrets
Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

Hwa-Yu Tai Chi (pronounced Y-U Tie Chee), hidden from the world until the last fifty years, is universally accepted as the oldest Temple Style, highly advanced, closed-door healthcare science purported to be the key to an abundantly full life. Read on to discover why…

Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) July 27, 2005 -- A new website at www.VideoTaiChi.com was launched this week by Grace Martial Arts, (GMA), principals Master Robert Xavier, PhD and Mark McGee, 6th Degree Black Belt, are promoting a line of healthcare and self-defense videos purported to disclose a thousand year old Temple Style form of martial arts called Hwa-Yu Tai Chi (pronounced Y-U Tie Chee). Hidden from the world until the last fifty years, this form of Tai Chi was practiced only by the elite ancient noble class rulers and palace guards. This Temple Style form is far superior to the Public Style forms of Tai Chi widely practiced today. See the Frequently Asked Questions, (FAQ), section of the GMA site to learn why.

The graceful slow movements of Hwa-Yu Tai Chi increase physical and mental energy and promote a meditative whole mind and body connectedness. This is certainly not the bone-cracking kicks, punches, and flying-through-the-air martial art forms that you may have seen on television. When asked how these graceful, slow-motion movements have anything to do with martial arts self-defense, Master Xavier explains, "Self-defense is really secondary to the health aspects of this form of Tai Chi. You don't recognize the self-defense aspects until you see these movements sped up or in fast-forward. Practitioners are actually preprogramming their neuromuscular memory, through slow, graceful routine practice, to naturally and compassionately ward off, redirect or restrain and incapacitate any harsh attack, while avoiding personal injury." Fascinatingly, the ancient Chinese actually developed a useful exercise that everyone can do -- there's a novel idea. These are certainly benefits you won’t derive from aerobics, Pilates, or your boring treadmill.

Hwa-Yu Tai Chi has been recommended for centuries for the prevention, treatment and reversal of a wide range of common disorders. Routine practice of this graceful, healing form benefits all who study it. Age and physical condition rarely are barriers to this practice.

The healing benefits of Hwa-Yu Tai Chi include:

* Proven beneficial effects on cardiovascular functions, arthritis, diabetes, strength, balance and general health and wellbeing
* Lowers blood pressure, stress and helps eliminate hypertension
* Oxygenates blood, calms the mind and improves reaction time
* Increases energy, relieves muscle and joint tension
* Measurably improves bone density, alertness and circulation
* Reduces bad cholesterol levels, severe headaches and low energy
* Enhances concentration, creativity and self-actualization
* Safe, gentle, proven approach to treating chronic pain and disease
* Increases range of motion, flexibility, agility, speed and endurance
* Heighten oxygenation, helps the heart, brain, and other organs receive healing chemicals and increase the bodies healing power.
* Increased healing power is facilitated through unison of whole body movement that incorporates diaphragm breathing

He is Lineage Holder and Chief Instructor of the Hwa Yu System and 9th Degree Black Belt and Chief Instructor of Yon Ch'uan. In 1980, Master Xavier received the only Masters Instructor Certification from internationally acclaimed Grand Master John Chung Li in the ancient art of Six Combinations-Eight Methods - Chinese Water Boxing. Master Xavier authored the highly renowned 3-Zone Defense Tactics for law enforcement. These methods have been field tested and used by professionals to standardize defensive tactics for law enforcement throughout the country.
