TYLENOL - THE BAD BOY

Today, the Food and Drug Administration again, stated that Tylenol and
other acetaminophen products are harmful to the liver! This may come as
a surprise to some people, but there are 56,000 people admitted to hospitals
each year with Tylenol related illnesses. What to do? Well....ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is the other over-the-counter
option for pain relief. Advil and Motrin are some of the better known
NSAID's. The important thing to look at is: why do you have pain? Is there
anything you can do to alleviate it, besides taking pain meds?

Maybe yes! Try reducing: wheat, corn, dairy, and sugar. ALL of these food
groups are known to cause inflammation, the leading cause of pain. Also, digestive enzymes, taken between meals are known to reduce inflammation.
Particularly, Bromelain has been shown to reduce low back pain.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome - New Thoughts

Much has been published about this very debilitating condition, so we'll try not to rehash old
information here. So, here are some suggestions about IBS and new ways to possibly treat it:
1. Remove dairy products, made from cow's milk, from the diet. Yes, that includes all cheeses, yogurts and of course, milk. You would be surprised at the number of people who feel better with this one change.
2. Remove all wheat products from your diet. No, I am NOT saying that IBS sufferers are gluten intolerant! There is a huge difference between gluten intolerant and wheat sensitive. Just try it.This includes all breads, pastas (unless specified non-wheat), bagels, Pop Tarts, you get the picture.
3. Really take a hard look at your diet: how much processed food is in your diet? By processed food I mean any food whose ingredient lists contains more than 5 ingredients and it's not trail mix.
4. What is your Blood Type? The Eat Right for Your Type program that suggests that the 4 blood types are not all created alike. These are some foods that make an "A" Blood Type very happy and will make an "O" Blood Type sicker than a dog. (i.e peanut butter).
5. These are just a few simple ideas that have worked wonders with many people. Be kind to your stomach and it will be kind to you.

To Iron or Not to Iron?

Iron carries oxygen around in the blood. So, if you have more "good" iron, you will have more
oxygen in your blood! Boy, that would be great! More oxygen = more energy. More energy = more stuff gets done. Okay, you get the picture. Look for: elemental iron in your supplement.
Ferrous gluconate has much less chance of constipation (that's good). Remember that you should NOT take your iron supplement with your calcium. Calcium will reduce iron absorption. One supplement that I really like is Floravital Iron and Herbs, this is a liquid supplement that tastes like rusty prune juice, but boy does it work. Taken as directed, it can reduce some eye floaters, dizziness, headaches, constipation, and low energy to name a few!
