Is Red Bull A Cocktail Of Deadly Drugs?

This drink is SOLD in all the supermarkets IN OUR country and our children are consuming it on a TRIAL BASIS.

Everyday, our children are in danger.

RED BULL can be FATAL!

Red Bull was created to stimulate the brains in people who are subjected to great physical force and in stress coma. It was never intended to be consumed like an innocent drink or soda pop.

Red Bull has been touted as the energizer drink that “increases endurance, awakens the concentration capacity and the speed of reaction, offers more energy and improves the mood.”

The commercial says:

RED BULL, Power Drink Of The Millennium

But seriously, this stuff is more like:

RED BULL, Fatal Intoxicant Of The Millennium

In almost one hundred countries around the world, people are dying to be stimulated!

Dietrich Mateschitz, of Austria, is the person we can thank for this atrocity.

It happened during a business trip to Hong Kong , when he was working at a factory that manufactured toothbrushes.

This toxic drink containing caffeine, taurine and glucuronolactone was causing quite the “rage” in Hong Kong.

Mr. Mateschitz saw the opportunity to become an entrepreneur.

Glucuronolactone is a very dangerous chemical.

It was developed by the United States Department of Defense to stimulate the moral of the troops based in Vietnam.

The drug has a hallucinogenic effect that researchers claimed would calm the stress of war.

However, when they tested this theory in the field it didn’t pan out.

There seemed to be too much damage caused by the drug.

Migraines, cerebral tumors and diseases of the liver were endured by the soldiers serving as guinea pigs for the research.

It was discontinued for use to calm the stress of war, but it is still categorized medically as a stimulant.

Glucuronolactone is illegal in France and Denmark.

The energizing function of this drug accelerates the heart rate and can cause a sudden heart attack!

There are components in Red Bull that dilute your blood.

Cerebral hemorrhage and other bleeding issues may occur because your vessels achieve much greater pressures much easier.

If you mix Red Bull with alcohol it may deliver a knockout punch to your liver!

Regular consumption of Red Bull will cause irreversible nerve damage!

Young people are particularly vulnerable to this dangerous product!

You remember when you were young and invincible!

This stuff is sold on grocery store shelves so it doesn’t seem so dangerous as experimenting with street drugs, but nothing could be further from the truth!

Please talk to your loved ones and spread this message.

Red Bull should be illegal in EVERY country, but until they stop hurting people in this country, it’s up to us to spread the word.

The good news is that there is an alternative!

An “energy drink” that supplements your nutrition and introduces NO poison into your diet could drastically improve the health of young and old alike!

My family has had great luck with Vemma. One of my kids loves the taste and the other two love how much better they feel when they take it. So I can get it into them without a fight! That’s the part I really love! It ends the argument over poisonous energy drinks! They offer a product with a more natural source of caffeine but my family uses the caffeine free version and has still noticed a significant increase in energy. Especially mom! I need all the help I can get to keep up with those youngsters!

Check it out. It might be an easy button for your family too.

Healthier Energy Drink

Be well!

Can You Starve For Oxygen Without Low Oxygen Levels?

Does “Low Oxygen Level” information apply to YOU?

If your oxygen levels are not low, maybe you think you don’t need to worry.

How do you know if you have low oxygen levels?

If you go to an appointment with your doctor and you are tested with a blood oxygen level evaluation tool called an oximeter and your blood oxygen saturation levels appear to be fine, does that mean you don’t need to concern yourself with low oxygen level information?

Water Retention: Is That Bloated and Puffy Feeling Anything To Worry About?

January 5, 2009Water Retentioncardiomyopathy, chest pain, concentration problems, congestive heart failure, cough, emotional distress, fatigue, health, heart attack, heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, inability to sleep unless propped up, low oxygen level, retaining fluid, sleep apnea, smoking, swelling, technorati, tiredness, waking up breathless at night, weakness, weight gainCarrie Tucker

“Everyone gets a little bloated and puffy feeling, right?”

If your doctor isn’t concerned, why should you be?

It’s just a little water retention.

There Are Reasons YOU Should Be Concerned About Excess Fluid:

Your body becomes completely out of balance when it holds on to fluid in an effort to protect you.
Any excess fluid interferes with absorption of OXYGEN and NUTRITION!
The sooner you achieve a healthy fluid balance, the less damage will be caused to your kidneys, heart and other vital organs.

Rapid accumulation of fluids can be life threatening.

Creating a healthy fluid balance may be as simple as reducing your exposure to toxins, making better food choices, or supplementation with the right amount of the right nutrient.

Be Aware That Creating Fluid Balance Immediately Could Also Save Your Life!

How Do You Know Whether Your Water Retention Is Life Threatening Or Not?

When your body loses the ability to maintain your fluid balance, you are on a slippery slope of deterioration.

If you have swollen ankles or a tight hard belly, have your oxygen levels checked to identify a potentially fatal problem!

Could Shortness of Breath Be Your First Sign Of Big Trouble?

This is a process of elimination to identify what the culprit might be. Why are you retaining fluid?

You want to look at all possibilities starting with the most dangerous ones!

If your water retention issue doesn’t make you feel short of breath when you climb a flight of stairs and you don’t feel overly concerned about it, then lets look at some other causes of fluid retention.

One very common cause of fluid retention is vitamin and mineral deficiency.

* The American Medical Association says that magnesium is the most prevalent mineral deficiency.

* Magnesium is a valuable electrolyte, if you are deficient you will have fluid balance issues!

* You may quickly shed water weight when you address deficiency!

You may be carrying a significant amount of excess water around, and not even be aware of it.

Have you seen the trailer for the new movie? I stumbled across it on You Tube and began jumping for joy.

At LAST an effort to get the message out!

You are what you eat!

Are you killing yourself with the food choices you make?

Food Matters!

Food Matters is an educational organization based in the UK.

They offer tutorials on every disease process you may be addressing. Educate yourself so you will not be fooled with misinformation and you will feel confident to resist your doctors urge to drug your symptoms without taking action to address cause.

As the “Life Breath Coach” I recommend that my clients supplement their nutrition while they learn what to put in their shopping cart and what to avoid.

Vemma is my supplement of choice because they have a safe track record even with their weight loss line of products!

Fluid Retention Steals Your Health, Want To Stop It?

When you retain fluid oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get where they need to go!

Fluid retention is such a big problem because the extra water in your system is in the way!

When oxygen and other vital nutrients cant’ get where they need to go, you deteriorate!

If you don’t want your health to fade, watch for signs that you may be retaining water:

When you press your fingernail firmly into your thumb-pad, does it stay deeply dented for more than a second or two
When you press the tip of your finger into the inside of your shinbone, does your nail make a dent?
Do your ankles ever swell?
Does your shoe size increase as you get older?
Do your rings sometimes not fit?
Is your tummy ever tight and swollen?
For women, do you suffer from breast tenderness?
Does your weight fluctuate by several pound within the space of only twenty-four hours?

You should be concerned if you recognize water retention symptoms, even if your doctor isn’t!

Is Your High Cholesterol Medication Killing You?

October 9, 2008Drug Safetycarrie tucker, cholesterol, concentration problems, congestive heart failure, cough, fatigue, heart attack, heart disease, heart failure, heart failure solutions, high blood pressure, low oxygen level, lung disease, retaining fluid, technoratiCarrie Tucker

“My cholesterol medications are killing me?”

Not fast enough for you to take notice, but YES they are!

Is there a way to lower cholesterol without risking your life?

You likely think that eating a diet low in saturated fat is the most effective way to lower your cholesterol, but it might surprise you to know that physical activity and sugar intake have a whole lot to do with what your lab tests point to.

Cholesterol medications are given to you to correct your lab results from your blood tests.

Are you aware that lowering your cholesterol level will NOT statistically lower your risk of death?

Your doctor is happy to prescribe a pill that will bring down your cholesterol level, but is it really the best course of treatment for you?

Do You Know the Side Effects of the Drugs Your Doctor Wants You To Take?

There are 3 major classes of “lipid-lowering drugs”

and

They all have side effects

Ask your pharmacist which type has been prescribed for you, so that you will be able to realistically look at the side effects you may be facing should you choose to begin drugging yourself.

The oldest cholesterol-lowering drugs are Bile Acid Sequestrants.

These drugs cause poor absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. (vitamins A,D,E,and K)

You already have enough reason to avoid this drug. These vitamins, especially E, are extremely important to your heart health, and supplementing won’t help if you are on this type of drug.

Bile Acid Sequestrants have a laundry list of side effects

bleeding disorders from Vit K deficiency
vision issues due to insufficient Vit A
interferes with absorption of thyroid medications
causes poor absorption of antibiotics
inhibits the absorption of several heart drugs

It doesn’t make sense to take a drug with undesirable side effects when there is a safe alternative that also binds with and removes cholesterol.

The alternative is dietary fiber.

The next group of drugs, Fibric Acid Derivatives, are down right deadly

The second class of drugs is generally used to lower triglyceride levels, though it is unknown exactly how these drugs work.

They do cause a number of uncomfortable side effects.

nausea
loose stools
flatulence
muscle cramps
rashes
problems with skin and hair

It gets WORSE!

The World Health Organization conducted a six-year study of 10,000 patients using Atromid-S, a Fibric Acid Derivative.

This study found that Atromid-S actually increased the overall death rate by 44 percent.

It did lower triglycerides levels enough to reduce the risk of heart disease and death by heart attacks, but the increased mortality from other causes more than canceled this benefit.

The excessive deaths caused by this Fibric Acid Derivative were associated to:

gall bladder disease
cancer
pancreatitis

Lopid is anther Fibric Acid Derivative and according to the Physicians’ Desk Reference, has similar side effects.

Additional things to keep in mind:

These drugs should not be used with blood thinners or “Statin Drugs” (which will be discussed next).
If you have gall bladder, liver, or kidney problems, you should not use these drugs.
They are hard on the liver, and liver function should be closely monitored while taking them.

The Alternative is to eliminate sugar and other refined carbohydrates, and add a large dose of fish oil.

Even triclyceride levels in the thousands are relatively easy to treat with dietary changes.

========================================

The third class of drugs is known as:

Statins

All of the generic names for these drugs end with “statin”, which is where the name comes from. They include some of America’s best selling drugs:

Lipitor
Zocor
Mevacor
Pravachol
Lescol

There have been 5 major studies of these drugs that prove that they lower risk of heart disease and death by heart attack, and other causes.

The medical community has been so impressed by these studies that they have gone overboard recommending these drugs.

The FDA actually approved Mevacor for use in people with normal cholesterol levels, and no sign of heart disease!

Some experts predict that half the population will be taking these drugs in the future, and there is a push to have them reclassified to over-the-counter status.

The National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines recommend aggressive drug therapy. If fully implemented, 36 million Americans, one in every 5 adults, would be taking cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Statin drugs are helpful only when concentrated effort with lifestyle changes and natural therapies fail.

Despite the current infatuation with these drugs, they are NOT without RISK.

Side effects of Statin drugs include:

liver toxicity
gastrointestinal symptoms
rashes
blurred vision
muscle inflammation and weakness
rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition involving muscle breakdown, and can be FATAL!

One statin drug, Baycol, was voluntarily recalled in August 2001 after being linked to 31 deaths.

Every one of the drugs in this class works in a similar manner and has similar side effects.

According to Public Citizen, a Washington D.C. consumer group, other statin drugs have killed an additional 81 Americans.

Julian Whitaker, M.D. warns of another adverse effect of statin drugs that he feels has contributed to the deaths from rhabdomyolysis.

It is not listed in the Physicians’ Desk Reference or the drug inserts, but Dr. Whitaker calls it:

“the most chilling of all the statin side effects”.

Statin drugs work by inhibiting the action of an enzyme that is required for the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver.

This enzyme is also necessary for the manufacture of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Statins deplete the body of CoQ10.

CoQ10 is essential for energy production. The heart is the hardest working, most energy consuming of all the muscles in the body, and therefore hardest hit by deficiencies.

Dr. Whitaker says:

“I consider the CoQ10 deficiencies caused by the growing use of statin drugs to be in large part responsible for our current epidemic of heart failure.”

You should hear what he has to say about the negative effects of statins on your brain. The brain contains an abundance of cholesterol. It is not difficult to see how these drugs would affect your ability to think and function.

Suicide and violent behavior have been linked to very low cholesterol levels for a long time.

Pretty serious reasons to take a closer look at statin drugs!

========================================

Don’t fall prey to the hype surrounding these “miracle” drugs. Educate yourself as to why you should give diet and lifestyle changes a REAL try. There is help available when you open yourself to a new way of thinking about food and activity.

Alternatives to taking these risky drugs are to eat more fiber and less saturated fat and simple sugar. Be more active and take CoQ10 and other supplements that can support you in your health building effort.

If you have no other choice but to take a statin drug, in is very important that you also take at least 200 milligrams of CoQ10.

Keep in mind that other natural alternatives may be helpful in lowering your cholesterol level:

fish oil

omega 3 fatty acid supplements (flaxseed oil)

inositol hexaniacinate (niacin and B vitamins, which has been found just as effective as statins in lowering cholesterol)

red yeast rice and other cholesterol-lowering supplements.

Nothing else matters if you don’t have good health.
