Paleo Diet and Modern Vaccines

The present marvel of modern vaccines did not eliminate the premature death of people and infants, and the Paleo diet could be the solution for a healthier lifestyle. The ancestral diets were riddled with pestilence and plague. People, especially infants, died prematurely from the plagues that remained widespread during the early years of history. The miracle of vaccines should have eradicated the illnesses brought about from the pestilence of the past.

The human body thrives when the diet of ample micronutrients and the absence of manmade toxins are eradicated. Following ancestral practices can enhance the genetic capability of the human body to generate a healthy and natural condition.

Paleo researchers and dietitians continue to seek the wisdom in progress that appears to be forsaken in the modern food era. The Paleo principles crush the bacteria that from the time of birth threaten life. Whereby the Paleo is a normal diet, potentially developing small increments to bring about significant change to medical interventions.

A report from the two-year random controlled trial shows the Paleo diet is better health wise to low-fat high carbohydrate diets. This study revealed the beneficial healthy outcome of the Paleo diet tested in humans.

The Paleo diet remained heavily criticized and was rated the lowest among the 32 popular diets by the US News and World Reports. The scientific and medical literature criticized the Paelo diet and indicated that this diet was not sufficiently explored. The new tests now show the Paleo diet to be far more superior to diabetic and Mediterranean diets. The nutritional values are superior to most US diets.

The comparison of the Paleo diet to the low-fat, high carbohydrate diet for weight loss far outweighs greater improvement. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels improved vastly. The dietary characterizes improved significantly, and these variables increase in dietary protein, reduction in carbohydrate and increases in monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. A significant increase in omega 3 fatty acid and a reduction in omega 6 fatty acids. These nutritional changes have numerous positive health effects and reduce the metabolic syndrome diseases such as cancer. A definite improvement in health a well-being.

The dietary advantage of both dairy and legumes in modern Paelo diets that should be regularly consumed in modern diets imitating the nutritional characteristics of our pre-agricultural, hunter-gatherer ancestors are ill-founded at first.

The difficult task to milk wild mammals in ancient times would result in humans not being able to absorb dairy products. While dairy products a relatively new introduction into the human diet and were never components of the Paleo diets. The human genes provide certain human populations to digest milk without digestive discomfort. The fermenting of dairy products reduces their lactose content, but not all fermented remain fully lactose free. Should people consume the current Paelo diet by regularly consuming a dairy product?

Lactose found in milk is not the only reason for avoiding dairy products. The calcium and other nutritional ingredients lacking in most of the US diets are one of the seven food groups (milk, whole grains, meats, fruit, vegetables, seafood, and nuts) and ranked number five as the most deficient nutrient in the US diets.

The nutrition requirement from milk is not needed by humans, and as there is no other mammal that derives a need of this from another species. The low nutritional value and indigestible problems for more than sixty-five percent of the world’s population create a range of undesirable health effects  Insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis are some of the risks associated with dairy products. The calcium content does not prevent bone fractures and impairs the zinc and iron absorption.

Milk is not a healthy liquid and good for the body, the bioactive matter present in cow’s milk are the cause of harmful health effects.

Humans were genetically designed to heat meats, fish, fresh fruit, vegetables, and nuts for optimal lifelong health benefits.

Dairy products are not recommended for everybody. A dairy free diet consisting of Kefir (made from fermented cow’s milk) has low lactose content and probably healthier to eat. Nuts consumed today did not exist during the Paleolithic times are considered toxic. While processed food, seed oils, sugar and mixed grains are problematic and rice, legumes and dairy products are acceptable foods with prevailing conditions.

Our predecessors are the creators of the current grain based, animal breeding and milking survival discoveries that cost the modern being the epidemic levels of heart disease, cancer and other illnesses.
Eating ancestrally to evade the immune inflammation producing infections of the grain based diets. Preservatives, vegetable oils, synthetic flavorings chemical processed dairy all engineered to promote infection. Paleo diets respect the fact that ancestral eating habits ultimately are healthier.

Evidence exists the fundamental shift from low-starch, high nutrient, sugarless and raw food to cooked grains, has a profound effect on the human structure. Humans are not genetically expected to consume oxidized sugar, grains, vegetable, or seeds infused with lectin.  Fully understanding the exact details of our immune system or growth with the modern techniques does not stop there.
The principal of vaccines and the protection against bacteria and viruses process is hardly appreciated. There is much more to the immunity than the antibody response. This complex theory-adapted system is one we have only started to recognize. The relationship between bacteria or virus of two different species whereby one receives food from the connection while the other is unharmed and unaffected.

Newborn babies rely on breast milk, which have a genetic anti-inflammatory to promote the rapid growth. While the inability to respond to infection and the current medical practice to progress upon induces the addition of risks thereby prompting babies to vaccines.

The proven or unproven benefit of a vaccine by increasing the antibody of an infection is weakened by the protection of the illness and the antibody formation.  The continued research remains constant while trying to understand the permanent immune answer to stop infection. The possibility of a vaccine-inducing allergy, asthma and other disorders is not ruled out. Protection on its own is insufficient.

The human body defends most effectively because of ongoing exposure. Vaccination to wipe out infectious challenge with the inherent exposure is without foundation. Vaccine compliance is a social and individual service for the greater benefit of mankind. Natural infection presents immunity and has done so since the Paleolithic times.

The idea that infectious disease is controlled by vaccine has helped to save us from dangerous diseases irrespective of radical changes in sanitation and hygiene.  The modern medical intervention began over 100 years ago, and the modern immune system keeps us alive and well and ignores the reality of the long struggle by the nanosecond old age to perfect itself into our present time being. Modern vaccines and the Paleo diet remain a challenge today.

All Over for Cornelia De Wet

It is all over for Cornelia De Wet, as the Carolina Magistrate court commenced with her trial this week in a case that has lingered on for over four years and consisted of over 40 court appearances. Arrested during 2011 and charged with possession of explosives and ammunition, the accused spent two years in different prisons and was released on bail. The stress and trauma of the past four years might be over, but the severity of the outcome will haunt the family for a long time.

Before the trial commenced, the accused was provided with a state attorney, who appeared for the first time and, according to De Wet, “was a gentleman, concerned and willing to try his best.” The accused was advised that if found guilty, a 25-year jail term would be handed down, but if De Wet pleaded guilty, the chance of a lesser sentence was on the table. Pleading guilty to avoid a harsh jail sentence, the accused received a five-year suspended sentence and a life-long criminal record.

During the trial, the state admitted that there was no real factual evidence to prove the accused was involved or had plans to commit a crime using the explosives or ammunition. The state confirmed that there were witnesses that could be called, but it would not result in any conclusive evidence being delivered. During sentencing, the magistrate said that the accused was the only person who knew what her intentions with the explosives and ammunition might have been. The state took into consideration the two years she had already spent in prison and the denial of bail on three accounts, including the attempt to make a plea bargain to end the traumatic experience. The accused was reminded of the seriousness of the charges and that the interests of the community and the family had to be taken into account before handing down the sentence.

De Wet is pleased not to have to return to prison, and recalled the nightmare of spending time in the overcrowded, rat-infested South African prisons. A particular memory that will haunt the accused is the rape affliction and being chained like an animal during the many transfers from one prison to the next. Not one prison experience was better than the rest, and places of safety were all described as close to being in hell; having to endure the wrath of prison wardens, who tormented and humiliated prisoners.

Behind the entire order was a right-wing group known as Leeuwag/Panzer, who, according to De Wet, are police informants. It is this group which fearfully tormented the family for years, and although the trial is over, the irritation continues. Shortly after the court case, a member of the Leeuwag group telephoned De Wet to say the members were disappointed with the sentence the accused had received. The caller said there were plans to continue the harassment and initiate action which would eventually cause the state to throw De Wet back into jail.

De Wet, a robust, intelligent person who was branded a political prisoner, endured years of suffering. Becoming a victim of falsification and bearing the cost of over 40 court appearances has taken its toll on this once-strong woman. Corruption and the failing justice system has sparked the fear of discrimination and inequity being directed towards the family. Now the first nightmare is over, and a new beginning awaits, yet it is a beginning with limits, as having a criminal record will cause financial hardship for De Wet, who will possibly not be employable.

New Study Confirms Tumeric Can Benefit Diabetes

The published Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry confirmed that Turmeric could benefit diabetes. Turmeric, an ancient spice, can alter the pathological states of type 2 diabetes linked to heart disease, a dangerous complication of diabetes.

In a new study on the reduction of formation of fatty deposits in the arteries, which is a risk for patients with type 2 diabetes it was found that curcuminoid extract can prevent this. Over a series of six months the study revealed the involvement of turmeric extract, curcumin does stop the fatty deposits forming on the inner surfaces of the arteries obstructing the blood flow.

Various tests revealed the degree of arterial stiffness and a strong connection to cardiovascular events. Marks of inflammation, insulin resistance and uric acid levels were randomly assigned to the curcumin treated group. In addition, the level of anti-inflammatory the changes in body weight, blood pressure, kidney and liver function (AST and ALT), were monitored in all participants taking the curcumin capsules. The test revealed that a significant improved liver function and the ALT was lower in the trials.

The trials results in curcumin(Turmeric) being used without any serious unwanted effects and revealed lasting benefits for diabetes patients. Turmeric is well-known for its liver healing properties Curcumin is the active ingredient that gives turmeric its orange-yellow color. Along with related chemicals, it comprises the extraction of curcuminoid.

Researchers found that Turmeric could prevent diabetes from developing. The research revealed that people with diabetes who took a curcuminoid supplement dramatically lowered their glucose level and insulin resistance. The study showed that curcuminoids the active ingredient of Turmeric have an anti diabetic impact by reducing the serum fatty acid through the possible assistance of oxidation and utilization.

Turmeric spice stems from the root of the perennial ginger family plant, Curcuma Longa, and hailed for is medicinal and culinary benefit since ancient times. The main ingredient of turmeric is curcumin. It is the curcumin that renders the dark golden color; it is slightly bitter and related to a mustard aroma. The highly acclaimed spice is used extensively in cooking especially in Indian cuisine, the taste and exotic fragrance. Turmeric is a valid coloring agent and considered scared and used in Hindu and Buddhist ceremonial practices.

The therapeutic benefits are used to treat allergies, aches, infections, heart problems, and diabetes among other more serious health issues. There are no harmful side effects, and Turmeric is considered safe for consumption. The side effects of turmeric if consumed in inappropriate quantities can cause ulcers and stomach problems.

Diabetes is better known as a group metabolic disease, which disturbs the sugar or glucose levels in the blood. The main cause is insufficient production of insulin in the body or the body’s irresponsiveness toward insulin, which resulted in Type 2 diabetes.

The remarkable curative properties of Turmeric treating diabetes found in trials connect the curcumin spice to adjust the insulin within the body. The control and stability of blood sugar prevents insulin resistance or sensitivity and boosts immunity thereby reducing infections.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents of curcumin help to fight the disease and strengthen the immune system of the body. The anti glycaemic properties help the body in preventing diabetes.
The pancreas is responsible for producing insulin. The anti-glycaemic power of turmeric helps to maintain the proper function of the pancreas, regulate and stabilize insulin levels. The prevention of insulin resistance in the body and lowering the blood sugar levels and treat diabetes effectively.
A risk factor for diabetes is being overweight, and curcumin can control cholesterol levels. Balance sugar/glucose levels and prevent an accumulation of fats that are harmful to the body. Thereby treating issues of obesity and unwanted weight gain and preventing the onset of diabetes.

Certain infections like the virus Coxsackie B4 can cause Type 1 diabetes in humans and the antibiotic properties of turmeric help to prevent and treat the infections. High blood sugar problems are streamlined with the use of Turmeric. The new study of treating diabetes with turmeric is hailed as a benefit for sufferers.

South Africa the failure of the ANC President

President Jacob Zuma is not the African National Congress (ANC) nor is Zuma the face of people of South Africa and the failure as a leader is synonymous with the party elite. The ruling elite of the ANC appointed Zuma, and it is the ANC party that received an overwhelming majority vote to rule South Africa. ANC supporters react to matters and stage pointless marches to defend the dignity of a weak president. Zuma is the face of the ANC and the ANC is not South Africa.

The ANC played a crucial part in ending apartheid and have ruled for 21 years, contributing to democracy. The ANC negotiated the fate of the people with the apartheid regime, knowing that the common uneducated African individual knew nothing and used it as an opportunity to exploit the poor. The hero or leader becomes the fat lazy, evil person until the voice of the workers sound off in the wake of broken promises. The people of South Africa have not received the promises made by the ruling party, and instead, poverty, crime, and corruption have thwarted the prospect of living a decent life.

Zuma as president has been portrayed as the face of South Africa, yet he is one of the many faces. Internationally known and more respected faces include Thuli Madonsela, Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, Charlize Theron, and Desmond Tutu. Zuma is the face of corruption. The 103-year-old ANC party whose elite spent most of the time living in remote camps in exile is out of touch with modern South Africa. Zuma was elected by ANC members to be the president of the party in a series of secretive maneuvers. It was not a straight, transparent and ethical process that led Zuma to become president. The election of Zuma as president is the most “undemocratic” event that happened in the young democracy. While the path of Zuma is littered with political corpses and bad publicity, the path of Tutu and Madonsela are paved with praise from an admiring and grateful public.

South Africans always make the mistake of believing that the country is defined by one political party, the same error made by the people under the apartheid government. While the value of strong opposition parties do create a concept of responsibility, South Africa has a multicultural concern. The long list of failed election promises including failed political appointments and failures within the ANC have now weakened the once great movement and have brought the party into disrepute. Years ago, the ANC women’s league, a powerful and relevant unit, had become a joke. The ANC youth league once a radical and powerful unit is now a bankrupt mess.

Zuma is the responsible person to both the ANC and the country. Poverty is the face of South Africa, and Zuma is the cause. Only the ignorant would deny that others such as Tutu or Madonsela are not also considered the faces of South Africa. Zuma by virtue of being president is synonymous with being a face of the country.

South Africans want a peaceful, well-balanced country, and a political party that will genuinely help the poor. Today, most politicians are playing mind games; it is all about self-enrichment. Zuma, according to many is corrupt, yet there are others who are real beneficiaries of corruption. How will South Africa achieve prosperity, and respect when Zuma as the face of South Africa portrays the fall of a great country?

The ANC is a liberation organization that is radical, retributive and corrupt. Now the ANC is the government making decisions that do not benefit the country. In the 21 years of leadership the ANC has not shown one example of excellence; in reality the ANC has shown quite the opposite. The ANC in 21 years has dismantled the country socially, economically, environmentally in record time. It is a crime against humanity to let the people of South Africa suffer the fundamental human rights and needs. In 21 years, the ANC has not attempted to reduce the poverty and suffering of the majority.

South Africa ANC Labels the Barnard Debacle a Public Stunt

The expulsion of Dianne Kohler Barnard from the Democratic Alliance (DA), the opposition party of South Africa, has raised questions about intimidation from the African National Congress (ANC) ruling party. Expelling Barnard for something thought to be satire in illustrating the failings of the ANC is inappropriate and incommensurate with the misdemeanor as to induce a sense of shock. In deciding on the personally ruinous sentence, the DA thought political expediency was more important than the personal interest of Barnard and the impeccable record of loyalty and hard work. Barnard was found guilty of misconduct for sharing a Facebook post depicting former president PW Botha, after which she apologized wholeheartedly for the deed.

By expelling Barnard, the DA showed it was intimidated by the ANC’s race card; which the latter has always used at the slightest provocation, often without justification. The DA hopes to endear itself to the black vote, especially the undecided constituency, as South Africa approaches the local elections next year. However, the ANC is not willing to play ball, and members of the ruling party have dismissed this sentence as inconsequential, superficial and hypocritical, and a public stunt.

The DA leadership understood the playful nature of that troublesome Facebook post. The DA was aware that upon the death, both Presidents Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki praised PW Botha for opening the door to political negotiations in South Africa. However, the leadership considered that the realpolitik, and not the constitutional niceties of mercy, first offense, and remorse, should be the deciding factors. Ironically, Barnard is being expelled for using the wrong example to criticize the ANC.

By dismissing Barnard, the DA was appeasing the ANC, and this could be suicidal for the opposition party. Irrespective of what sanction the DA would have imposed, the ruling party would never be satisfied. The ANC is spending too much time dictating on the internal affairs of another political party. By doing so, the ANC is also showing the shallowness in a dominant society and hypocrisy because ANC top leaders have committed worse offenses than Barnard has.

The expulsion is outrageous and almost laughable and in a typical organization, perpetrators would not be dealt with such harsh sentencing. The DA is bowing down to pressure from the ANC government of South Africa. Gross Misconduct is a dismissible office, and the actions of Barnard were not close to that offense. There is something sinister at play here, perhaps the new DA leader Mmusi Maimane is a Trojan horse.

The ANC ruling party of South Africa is running in crisis mode; the Barnard issue is a non-starter for the ruling party. The ANC has devalued the race card as a formidable weapon. Elections are around the corner and the DA did an excellent job in terminating her membership which could be reinstated on appeal after the elections. The DA is commended for refusing to deal with racism the way the ANC deals with corruption. There are people who think the dismissal was a harsh sentence that does not fit the crime; however, supporters of Barnard should know that ANC voters do not understand satire.
