A Natural Approach As far as psoriasis is concerned it is relatively simple for most people to overcome even long-term psoriasis if particular attention is paid to a number of factors. These include getting toxic chemicals out of your life. From your food and in your toiletries! This is relatively simple to do by concentrating on eating and using organic produce and products eating a more natural and balanced diet with the essential fatty acids you need, supplementing with bio available minerals and phyto-nutrients. Of course there is no magic bullet to "cure" psoriasis and anyone who claims this is probably trying to sell you some quack treatment. Beware of the "quacks" on the net! It is up to you to stop poisoning your body and feed it what needs to recover. All the best for now Geoff Goldie www.health-report.co.uk Saturated fats and the importance of omega 3 essential fatty acids • Myth #2 We should all have more vegetable oils in our diets Well if you want to shorten your life and live a large part of it suffering some form of degenerative disease then this would be good advice to follow. However, I am sure you would prefer good health to spending years living in a twilight zone of chronic and debilitating symptoms for which doctors keep thrusting palliative drugs onto you. For all the reasons previously discussed in my earlier reports, vegetable oils are not good in our diets to any great extent. Essential oils came from whole foods in the main Lets look a bit more closely at what is happening here and relate again to the way we evolved as hunter gatherers. You can rest assured our ancestors never succeeded in extracting oils from seeds and grains. Sure there may have been some minor examples of certain races using a particular crop like olives and finding ways to cold press the oil out in usable quantities. This is an excellent and natural oil and it provides valuable omega 6 essential fatty acids in the diet. But the quantities produced were never great and it was always consumed within the area the oil seed crop was grown in. The bulk of omega 6 essential fatty acids came from eating nuts and seeds from a seasonal harvest and was completely adequate for our needs. Vegetable oils played no large part in diet previously The vast bulk of the human population had no access to any supplies of extracted vegetable oils in any form whatsoever. So how come nutritionists think that more must be better for you? Again we have to look at how research has been funded over the years by vested interests. If you were a scientist working independently doing research and you knew that the very reason you were employed was because of a huge grant to the foundation or organisation your worked for and it was from a vested interest... then perhaps it would not be in your own interests to shoot yourself in both feet at once. What I am saying here is that it is easy to wear blinkers when you are expected to come up with the right goods. Why complicate the issue by investigating the fact humans have survived and flourished without vegetable oils in the diet for the last several hundred thousand years or so. Flawed results So what happens? Great emphasis is placed on research about populations like the Italians and other Mediterranean races who apparently have a much lower rate of heart disease. Well yes this is true and most of them do carry their age well and without anywhere near as much degenerative disease including heart disease as us here in Britain and other colder countries such as in Scandinavia. Now what the researchers conveniently omitted to look into was the role that omega 3 played in the diets of all these people. Omega 3 which is sourced not only from fish of course, which most of them consumed regularly but from the fat of grass fed animals and the cream and butter from the same animals. No the scientists were paid to come up with results that would favour the vegetable oil manufacturers. It was unthinkable to suggest that saturated fats just may have had a large bearing on the good health of these people. Latest research completely reverses earlier findings I guess the latest research conducted in France really does show how valueless most of that earlier research was into vegetable oils. The French study shows unequivocally that although they, the French, eat far more saturated fats than the British, they suffer far fewer heart attacks and degenerative disease (including cancer) is considerably less than what it is in Britain. The French seem to cope much better with their NHS over there too. Perhaps it is because there is far less demand for palliative care in France compared to the UK. Coincidence? I think not! "The commonly-held belief that the best diet for the prevention of coronary heart disease is a low saturated fat, low cholesterol is not supported by the available evidence from clinical trials. In the primary prevention, such diets do not reduce the risk of myocardial infarction or coronary or all cause mortality. Cost-benefit analyses of the extensive primary prevention programmes, which are at present vigorously supported by Governments, Health Departments and health educationalists, are urgently required." The low fat/low cholesterol diet is ineffective European Heart Journal (1997) 18, 18-22 L.A. Corr, Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospitals, London, U.K. M.F. Oliver, National Heart and Lung Institute, London, U.K. Correspondence: Dr. Laura A. Corr, MB, BS, MRCP, PhD, FESC, Consultant Cardiologist, Guys and St. Thomas' Hospitals, St. Thomas Street, London SE1 9RT What happened to traditional UK fish and chips? The problem for westernised countries stems from the gradual infiltration of vegetable oils into our diets in all sorts of insidious ways. Once upon a time the good old British fish and chips used to be cooked in animal fat, lard or dripping! Well, I don't condone the use of any deep frying as a healthy food - but I can certainly recommend deep frying using animal fat in preference to a chemical and heat extracted vegetable oil. For a start animal fat will take around 30C degrees more in temperature before it becomes carcinogenic and produces free radicals. Consume overheated and rancid vegetable oils (and animal fats) on a regular basis and drop dead of heart attack without warning! Look at all your manufactured foods you buy and you will see vegetable shortening and oils in preference to saturated fats every time. There is a major imbalance occurring in our systems because of this predominance of commercial vegetable oils and omega 6 in our diets. The risk of degenerative disease increase proportionately with the increase of vegetable oils and free radicals we are exposed to. The great Aussie "barby" Having lived in Australia for a good number of years I witnessed many people enjoying life to the full and partaking in the traditional Aussie "Barby" every available chance they had. I also witnessed many people dying well before their time from heart disease. Dropping dead from heart attacks caused by free radical activity within their arteries which was caused by over heating fats and oils of all descriptions on the great Aussie barbeques. Barbeques which take place in most homes as a matter of ritual all over the country! The times I have seen commercial cheap vegetable oil tipped onto a smoking barbeque plate with flames licking up around the edges and then a great piece of beautiful prime steak thrown on and seared to a charcoal black on the outside and burnt until every vestige of goodness has been driven from this otherwise good food makes me shudder. No wonder the Australians are leading the world with the rate of heart attacks per 1000 they suffer! Heart attack strikes without warning I recall a fellow I knew well in Australia. A robust physical worker who to all intents and purposes was in the prime of life in his mid thirties. Every weekend was spent water skiing on Lake Keepit in Northern NSW. The traditional Australian beers and barby was the way to finish the day of course. Barbeques also feature heavily in the home cooking arrangements of most Australians... as they did for this fellow. Unfortunately Barry (not his real name) dropped dead from a sudden heart attack when he was just 37. A post mortem showed he had arteries congested to the same stage as the average man has taken 75 plus years to reach. What was the cause? Free radical activity along with the production of homo cysteine which results in artery plaque. What causes this to occur? Well one of the major contributing factors is over heating and burning vegetable oils and to a lesser extent burning animal fats! Use a natural saturated fat like ghee So to start finishing this section on vegetable oils. Take care with the type of vegetable oil you use and make sure it is never heated to smoking point. Chinese wok cooking springs to mind here. Here is a good recipe for heart disease and cancer!... Heat a wok until it is very hot... preferably on a gas flame...pour in 50mls of chemically extracted vegetable oil, heat the oil until it smokes and is searing hot...throw in some diced perfectly good nutritious vegetables and carcinogise them in the smoking oil for several minutes... dish them up as a healthy heart food! Well as far as I am concerned you can reserve your Chinese wok cooking for those who want to accelerate cancer and heart disease. Perhaps if you were to use clarified butter (ghee) or animal fat which takes the heat a lot better and you carefully controlled the heat to around 180c degrees then I may agree... Chinese wok cooking can be a healthy way of preparing food and not be detrimental to your health. Grass fed animals versus grain fed Now to add a final section here I would like to explain about animals that are grass fed and animals that aren't grass fed. Grass fed and browsing animals tend to develop fat containing the exact ratio between saturated fats and the essential fatty acids we need to protect our health. Perhaps no coincidence here when you think about it. After all, we have been, at least our ancestors have been, killing the fat animal to eat since time began. None of this lean meat for them! A fat animal was always the healthy animal and our ancestors always knew that eating fat with the meat protected them from disease. Whereas, when times were lean and the lean animals were eaten, then often disease would set in. They had it worked out back in those days! At least they had the experience of practical knowledge without some scientific boffin telling them what they were doing was wrong. Grain fed animals So what about animals that are grain fed by comparison with the grass fed animals. The meat from grain fed animals is usually tender and marbled with fat, as far as beef is concerned. Yes but browsing and grazing animals such as cows are not meant to eat a diet high in grains and cereals. Just like us it is not healthy for them. For a start they are inactive and fed in a barn. They don't get sunlight nor the freedom to move around as a grazing animal should and it shows up in the balance of saturated fats to essential fatty acids in the animal itself and in the butter produced from dairy cows fed an exclusive diet of grains and meal. The ratio swings heavily towards the saturated fat and very low on the essential omega 3 fatty acids. What once was a good balanced food is no longer so. Man once again in his infinite wisdom has interfered with nature and turned a healthy wholesome food into something far less than healthy and wholesome. How do you tell the difference? Generally you can always tell the difference with grain fed beef and grass fed beef very easily by looking at it. Grass fed beef is rarely if ever marbled with fat through the meat itself. Although the animal can certainly get very fat on grass, seldom does the meat marble with fat. This is due to the fact that the muscles are constantly being used to transport the animal from place to place in the course of it's daily activities. Whereas the poor grain fed animal is confined, often into an extremely small space to limit its movement so the meat remains very tender and becomes marbled with fat. If you enjoy eating meat then I suggest if you want to buy beef that is free range and very healthy for you then you cannot beat New Zealand or Australian beef. It is wholesome and far fewer chemicals are used during the raising of the animal. Almost without exception they are raised eating grass outdoors. That is not to say you can't buy British meat that is good for you. It is just a bit more difficult to do so. Look for organic sources of British beef and see if you can find a supply where the animal is grazed outdoors most of the year. Dairy cows and butter Now what about dairy cows fed indoors on a diet of grass silage, maize silage, grains, soy and other commercially produced meal and processed foods? Well depending on the quantity of grains and meal in the diet compared to the quantity of silage, the butter can have varying ratios of omega 3 to the saturated fats. Year round grass fed dairy cows as you find in New Zealand in particular, produce very yellow butter which is excellent for your health because it has the perfect balance of fats again. However cows kept indoors for a large part of the year and fed grass and maize silage plus grains and soy and rape seed amongst many other often questionable ingredients (the UK mad cow disease springs to mind here) do not produce cream/butter high in omega 3. Next time you are in the supermarket check out the difference in colour of butter from Denmark where most cows are kept indoors all year, butter from the UK where they generally spend around five to six months outdoors and butter from New Zealand where cows are completely free range and grass fed all year round. It is rather obvious going on the colour which butter contains the most Omega 3. Year round grass fed animals from New Zealand win hands down. The British butter is somewhere in between with Danish butter being an insipid imitation of proper nutrient rich omega 3 butter. Summing up So to sum up this section on fats and oils. Ensure you never overheat any fat or oil, particularly vegetable oils. If you do use any vegetable oils always use the cold pressed types and preferably from an organic source. A natural choice would be cold pressed virgin olive oil. Never use margarine for anything despite the hype associated with the advertising of so-called cholesterol lowering margarines. Always use butter as the only choice for buttering bread and for any cooking using low heat. Clarify the butter or use animal lard or dripping for higher heat when frying or wok cooking. Select meat from grass fed animals only. Eat grass fed beef or lamb and use free range butter which is naturally high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. I haven't mentioned fish in this section on fats however it goes without saying that Omega 3 is present in good quantities in all wild oily fish including salmon. However if you think eating farmed salmon will supply adequate quantities of Omega 3 think again. Man once again in his infinite wisdom has altered the food supply fed to the animal and the essential fatty acids are no longer prevalent in the fish! Also very disturbingly extremely high levels of PCBs are showing up in farmed salmon. The levels found are up 100 times the safe limit for human consumption yet little is being done about it. PCBs are the horror chemicals that were banned around 30 years ago because of the powerful carcinogenic properties they have. It would pay you to read the article I have about this problem. www.health-report.co.ukpcb-toxic-chemical-farmed-salmon.html Unfortunately another very serious problem is showing up wild fish stocks in some areas of the world. Not that they lack omega 3 but in the very high concentrations of mercury in wild fish from the Atlantic ocean. The livers of fish eating whales such as hump backs and many other species of whale are showing mercury concentrations of up to 5,000 times the recommended safe levels for humans!!!! Now I know we don't eat whale livers (although the Japanese do), but it just goes to show that the mercury is entering the food chain in a big way and whales being at the top of the food chain in the sea are copping it seriously. If we are eating fish contaminated with mercury then this insidious neuro toxic poison will accumulate in us too! Man once again is seriously disrupting a natural and wholesome food supply! Be wary of eating mercury contaminated fish. Seek out more information on this worrying problem by visiting Dr Mercola's website. www.mercola.com Where does the mercury come from? From the burning of fossil fuels without regard for the long term toxic effects on our world! ________________________________________ Well that's all for this report If you are still using toxic toiletries then I suggest you eliminate them from your bathroom as many of the chemicals contained in shampoos, conditioners, skin creams, mouth wash, toothpaste and most cosmetics are quite toxic for sensitized people. In fact it is well known by natural health specialists that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate can be a potent sensitizer and opening the door for other chemicals to enter your system. Have a quick look at your shampoo and see if SLS is one of the ingredients. I will be very surprised if it is not listed right up near the top (or one of its close cousins) as one of the major ingredients in your shampoo! Don't be fooled by the manufacturers claim that it is derived from natural sources. Some manufacturers claim it is derived from coconut oil. Well yes they may have run solvents through the fatty acids of coconut oil but this is a very gratuitous use of the English language to claim that a synthetic chemical is natural.
