Beware of Sugar, Milk and Tea!

All this time we’ve been thought by TV and other commercial ads that Osteoperosis was caused by Calcium deficiency. We don’t take enough Calcium to keeps us healthy. They’re completely true but their statement is NOT TRULY COMPLETE.

Milk, creams, mayonaise, and etc are dairy products which is considered as “liquid meat”. It uses your stored Calcium to break and digest it. The more milk you drink, the more calcium you use. So if you drink more milk, how could you ever cope up with your Calcium requirements? Taking Calcium tablets and supplements are not enough since you’re using more than what you take. The worst of all is that, what you thought that’s helping you to add more Calcium is actually draining your stored Calcium.

Sugar does the same thing, it uses you stored Calcium to break and digest it. The worst for this one is that, almost any fast food products contains sugar. Below are some alarming facts:

  • Soda products such as Coke, C2 Green Tea, and other cabonated proucts composed of as much as 45% sugar. French Fries, the useless food found in fast food are deep fried with sugars before they put salt. Gravy and Dips contains sugars.
  • Tea are also known to be health drinks due to there anti-oxidants power. But drinking to much tea is also not good. It uses you stored Calcium too break and digest it. What will you do if you have a good anti-oxidant body but your bones are failing you? Would you rather have strong bones and just eat lots of vegetables so you’ll get anti-oxidants?
  • Another important fact is that, your body can’t consume the Calcium if don’t take Magnesium. Yes, Magnesium is required to consume Calcium.

So what do you do now? Would you drink milk to increase you calcium? You must be kidding! Would you take Calcium tablets to increase your Calcium, then take more Magnesium too. But remember, those are unnatural minerals (synthetic), they’re less effective than natural minerals from vegetables.

I suggest that you ban or dramatically decrease sugar consumption in your life and start eating vegetables.

Old people tends to be stronger than us in the present time since they don’t have access to concentrated sugars in the old times. There foods doesn’t contain or contains very few sugar.

Pain Killers, cause MORE Pain!

Yes, you read it right. Beware of pain killers with a generic name of “Mefenamic”. It’s not a normal drug that you can buy and use it just like candy. It can cause the following illness:

  • Stomach Bleeding
  • Stomach Ulcer
  • Liver Malfunction
  • Dehydration
  • Epilepsy
  • Drowsiness (feels sleepy)
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Dyspepsia
  • Blur Vision

Below are some of the medicine brands that are “Mefenamic”:

  • Dolfenal
  • Ponstant
  • Gardan
  • Pharex Mefenamic Acid
  • Rightmed Mefenamic Acid
  • Neostan
  • Lafayette Mefenamic Acid

I suggest that you take “Ibuprofen” product same as if you have fever which is Advil. I’m not even an advocate of Advil but after researching, I’m amazed that it’s the only product I can recommend.

Please take note that Alaxan is a Paracetamol product. Please read my previous post regarding Paracetamol products. They are known cause of liver failure big time.

The Dark Side of Paracetamol!

When was the last time you had fever? Did you took medicine right away? What medicine did you took? Is it something that’s commonly used? Does it really cure your fever? Think again!

FEVER is NOT an illness. It’s a body defense that helps you defend your body from bacterial and viral infections. For more info about fever: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003090.htm

Most of the Paracetamol products, also known as “Acetaminophen”, can be bought over the counter without the prescriptions from doctors, but one thing is for sure, it doesn’t cure fever. Actually in the United States, Paracetamol products are knows as pain relievers rather than a fever cure.

It’s a known fact that any medicine can cause liver failures but taking Paracetamol can make situation worst. It’s the fastest way to get liver disease such as liver cancer.

Medicines that contains Paracetamol are the following:

  • Alaxan
  • Biogesic
  • Calpol
  • Lafayette Paracetamol
  • Muskelax
  • Naprex
  • Pharex Paracetamol
  • Right Med Paracetamol
  • Tempra
  • Tempain
  • United Home Paracetamol

The best medicine for fever is to drink a lot of liquids and rest to help your body regenerate from Bacterial or Viral infections. If the bacteria or virus has been killed, your fever will also be gone. But if you want an instant comfort from your fever, I suggest that you take Advil, a pain killer product that can give you an instant comfort from fever.

Cough Capsules can cause hemorrhage

Did you know that cough capsules can cause hemorrhage (bleeding of the brain)? Well yes, it’s true! Beware of the products that are cheap and well funded marketing. It’s a cheap way of getting dead sooner.

The problem with Cough Capsules are they contain chemical composition that is called phenylpropanolamine or PPA. It can cause hemorrhagic stroke mostly to women but men maybe also at risk. In the US, products that contains PPA has been banned already since 2000. But in Philippines, these products are still being sold to drug stores nationwide. What the heck, how did Philippine FDA approved it?

Short list of products that CONTAINS PPA:

  • Decolgen
  • Bioflu
  • Desotap
  • Neozep
  • Sinutab
  • Tuseran

Here are the following capsules that are poorly advertised product but are safe capsules and DOESN’T CONTAIN PPA.

  • Bisolvon
  • Loviscol
  • Rubitussin

For more info about PPA, here’s an article from FDA of US which was published since Nov. 2000
