Very kind suggestion, “Lick the Sugar Habit” is exactly what I need help with. I’m not a fiend, I eat organic mostly but even still it’s so easy to reach for sweets… far too often.
I shall read the book, much thanks.
Do not get afraid Dr. Mercola ! We the people need to take responsiblity now and help our good Doctors !
It´s extremely insane that we have come to the point that doctors get assaulted / hunted by the government and companies when they actually help. Making good and a lot of money is good if you stay in the moral level. The gov has failed to secure it self and his people from aggressive companies who will be responsible for the total break down !
Just kidding.
Expect a lawsuit. Thank you.
Excellent suggestions. More power to your elbow, Dr M!
you might like to read the book Lick the Sugar Habit by Nancy Appleton. She references literature on how even a little bit of sugar upsets the mineral balance in your body. waiting an hour won’t help. complex carbohydrates are your friend, yes. but added sweeteners are definitely not!
if iam allergic to bee pollen but not to honey can i take propolis?
I got the H1N1 and took colloidal silver and felt better in 2-3 days. Same results with my son who has a weakened immune system from flu shots (before I woke up) – he was better in 2 days with colloidal silver, I highly recommend this product.
So how do I get a good night’s sleep? Do I go upstairs and murder the loud, spiteful assholes that jump up and down all hours above my apartment?
FDA=Worthless. I can’t wait till people wake up and charge the FDA with crimes against humanity.
I just read about it and I’m outraged! I came here to tell you about it!
I posted on my wall at facebook too..
thank you dr. m for being such a trooper on the side of good health and nutrition, you are greatly appreciated!
blessings~
thanks mercola!
Vitamin C is great for you, but if your liver is not functioning to near normal, then *any* vitamin or nutrient supplement won’t be properly absorbed into the bloodstream.
For that you have to cleanse your liver by taking Milk Thistle (I’m allergic to it though) or Lecithin.
Sugar is your friend, but, as with all drugs (yes it is a drug) enjoying too much can cause health problems. Don’t make it a chronic habit or eat sugar blobs right after dinner. Wait an hour or so.
Dairy and sugar when sick trashes the lymphatic likely to prolong illness and worsen symptoms.
The complex sugars in fruit are processed somewhat differently. Raw fruit has enzymes that helps to burn it as energy and digest excess.
Cane or beet, a simple carbohydrate, what isn’t used at once is stored as fat. If too much at once, spikes insulin disrupting immune function for several hours. Same for alcohol…causing acute, short-term hyperglycemia, dirupting all major components of innate immunity impairing the ability of the host to combat infections.
How about we eliminate a few Govt officials [by eliminating income TAX]
or a better question might be; should we stop consuming sweet fruits when sick?
Yes, we should eliminate the one and only organisation that actually cares for our health. Great thinking!
Another thing we should eliminate from our lifestyle is the FDA!
You rock, Doc!!! :0) God Bles You!!
GREAT information !!! Thank You !!!
Swine flu task forces?! Oink-oink BITCHES!!!!
your camera image looks amazing…what kind of camera do you use? thanks.
Great video, but one question; how bad is fruit sugar for your immune system?
