Genetics Doctor links proper dietary variety to Heal Thyself and changing Genes...

by Yuseff Wahington contributing writer for FoyYouSocial.com Blog

Tim Spector, 54, is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King’s College, London. 
"I’ve had to change my diet because I travel so much it is unfeasible to be vegan, but it taught me to look further than the steak and chips on a restaurant menu," said Spector.

There is evidence which shows that the more diverse your diet, the healthier your gut bacteria – which can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

Spector confessed, "My grandmother passed down some bad genes – she had diabetes. I’m aware of the hereditary nature of the condition and know that I need to keep an eye on diet and exercise as you can actually switch off these genes."

"I think that you should only take vitamins if you have a confirmed deficiency," Spector suggested. Researchers at King’s College, London have discovered that whole food, not additives or preservatives are essential for optimal health.

1 Reason why are African American Women at risk for Cervical Cancer?

By Davie Bell contributing writer for FoyYouSocial.com Blog

When University of South Carolina in Columbia researcher study leader, Kim Creek studied 326 whites and 113 black students she reported that her colleges"found that blacks were 1.5 times more likely to test positive for infection with one of the HPV strains that raise cancer risk." 

"The African-American women were not clearing the virus as fast. They were actually holding onto it about six months longer,’ for 18 months versus 12 months for whites," said Creek.

Ten per cent of blacks had abnormal Pap tests versus six per cent of whites.

Two years after initial infections were found, 56 per cent of black women were still infected, but only 24 per cent of whites remained infected.

Why is this happening?

Genealogy Practitioner, Chrissy Yancey believes that acidosis is to blame. An acidic internal pH level in humans can occur from

 an acid forming diet

emotional stress

toxic overload

immune reactions 

or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients

The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough alkaline minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur. 

An acidic pH will:  

• decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients;
• decrease the energy production in the cells; 
• decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells;
• decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals;
• make tumor cells thrive and;
• the susceptibility to fatigue and illness. 

Artificial chemical sweeteners like 

NutraSweet

Spoonful

Sweet 'N Low

Equal

Aspartame

Are poison and extremely acid forming.


"The accumulation of acidic waste products within our body is traceable with the regular pH level monitoring. If monitoring and genetically based solutions aren't exercised, the cellular tendency continues. Certain organs increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acidic pH environment - some cells survive by becoming malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer," said Yancey.


How does Acidosis develop?
Your blood is your body’s transport system. It carries both nutrients and oxygen to the tissues of your body. It also carries waste products away from the tissues and helps maintain body temperature. To do these things, your blood must circulate continuously.
Acidification of the body starts in the blood. The blood performs a balancing acts in order to maintain the blood pH within the safe range of 7.3 to 7.45. A blood pH of 6.5, which is only slightly acidic, can induce coma and death. The blood has a buffer pool of sodium bicarbonate made to neutralize strong acid compounds coming out of the cells as waste products of metabolism. When this buffer level is too low, acidosis is developed.
"African American women are at risk due to a lack of adequate knowledge about proper DAILY food choices. The general African American woman eats foods and follows routine recipes of her ancestors, who untimely deaths were result of consuming the same routine acidic pH diet. Today technology allows us to use our genetics to finally discover what we should really be eating," said Yancey.

In the new study, researchers gathered a detailed history of sexual behavior and relationships from 181 young adults. They also collected DNA samples from the volunteers' cheeks and analyzed the samples for the presence of the thrill-seeking version of Genotype 4.

"What we found was that individuals with a certain variant of Genotype 4 were more likely to have a history of uncommitted sex, including one-night stands and acts of infidelity," study researcher Justin Garcia, a postdoctoral fellow at Binghamton University, State University of New York, said in a statement. "The motivation seems to stem from a system of pleasure and reward, which is where the release of dopamine comes in," Garcia said. "In cases of uncommitted sex, the risks are high, the rewards substantial and the motivation variable — all elements that ensure a dopamine 'rush.'"

People with the thrill-seeking gene variant were about twice as likely to report a history of one-night stands as those without the gene variant. Half of those with a love of risk imprinted in their DNA reported committing infidelity in the past, compared with 22 percent of those without the variant.

"The study doesn't let transgressors off the hook," said Garcia. "These relationships are associative, which means that not everyone with this genotype will have one-night stands or commit infidelity. Indeed, many people without this genotype still have one-night stands and commit infidelity. The study merely suggests that a much higher proportion of those with this genetic type are likely to engage in these behaviors."

Washington Post: CHAVEZ ASSASSINATED

Posted by Caitlin Dewey, WASHINGTON POST

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had been fighting cancer for two years when he died this afternoon at age 58, but some Venezuelans — including new President Nicolas Maduro — are convinced foul play is to blame.

Maduro promised on state television that a “scientific commission” would look into Chavez’s death and the possibility that his “historical enemies” had somehow induced his disease, reported El Diario. On social media and in several news outs, that “historical enemy” was interpreted as the United States.

“There have been historical cases, too many historical cases” of such clandestine assassinations, Maduro said, invoking the conspiracy theories around the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Chavez made similar allegations against the U.S. government in 2005.

“If they kill me, the name of the person responsible is George Bush,” he said.

The State Department has forcefully disavowed the accusations against the U.S. in general, and against two officials who were expelled from Venezuela for espionage earlier this afternoon.

“An assertion that the United States was somehow involved in causing President Chavez’s illness is absurd, and we definitely reject it,” State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said. “The United States has options of reciprocal action available to it under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”

The theory does not seem to be gaining much ground in Venezuelan Twitter circles, either.

“These people promote the crazy thesis of Chavez’s assassination!” wrote one man. “Since it’s not epic that the guy died in his bed.”

“Yes, the U.S. caused Chavez’s cancer, the Russian meteor, the bird flu, and the sinking of the Titanic,” wrote another in Chile.

Maduro’s allegations have, however, received a boost from Eva Golinger, the prominent Venezuelan lawyer and editor who, in an interview with Russia Today, claimed that there was concrete evidence for Chavez’s assassination. Videos and articles of that interview — like this one, from Venezuela’s UltimasNoticias.com – have been widely circulated on Twitter.

“There is evidence that 70 years ago they tried to assassinate then Cuban President Fidel Castro with radiation, in addition to other methods,” Golinger said in an interview. “We can only imagine the weapons capacity the U.S. possesses today.”

Husband Awarded $40K After DNA Test Proves That He Is Not The Father

Article Shared by FirstToKnow.com by E. McMahan

Have you ever wondered if you were raising another man’s child?

We sure hope not! This sounds like something you’d hear on a soap opera.

Unfortunately, that was the nagging question on Richard Rodwell’s mind soon after his marriage to his wife Helen fell apart.

As their marriage began deteriorating, Helen would disappear from their home in Peterborough, England, for several days at a time without letting her family know where she was. And when she would return and he would ask where she had been, she would say, “It has nothing to do with you.” This woman would never even leave a note or message letting her husband or children in on her whereabouts.

Come to find out, the daughter and son he had raised into their teenage years were not even his. The poor man finally caught on to her deception when rumors started floating around that his daughter Laura, now 20, was someone else’s. And this is after the fact that Helen was granted custody of the children and he was paying child support every month for four years, which totaled around $25,000.

“People said that Laura didn’t look like me and that Helen had been seeing a teacher who lived next door on the caravan park,” explained Rodwell. “I confronted Helen on the phone but she insisted that I was Laura’s father. Finally, I said I wanted DNA testing.”

Geneticists have been seeing rising cases of deception, infidelity and adultery among couples, which has recently made DNA testing very popular. For a man that once thought he had it all (happily married, two healthy children, a house and a good paying job), he was so terribly wrong!

The DNA testing was done with a swab of Laura’s mouth and when the results came back, Mr. Rodwell was floored. “When I saw the letter stating that I was not Laura’s father I just broke down. I phoned Helen and we had an argument. She didn’t even say sorry,” he said in distress.

In fact, the DNA tests revealed that the children had two separate fathers!

“I still have no idea who Adam’s father is,” he said. “For nearly 17 years I have cared for Laura as my daughter and for Adam for over 14 years and now it’s all gone. It’s so sad.”

Following the results, the children cut off all contact with him. He claims his ex-wife turned them against him. “I would have been happy to have a close relationship with them as a stepfather but Helen wouldn’t allow this and told them to keep away from me,” Rodwell explains.

Recently, he was awarded nearly $40,000 in damages after suing his ex-wife for deceit. The court treated his case similar to bereavement, awarding an amount like the one you would receive if your child died in an accident. In this particular case, the judge even went further than that due to the level of deceit, as well as taking into account the fact that Mr. Rodwell’s second wife is too old to provide him with children. He also won a court order, which forced his wife to move out of their marital home.

When speaking for the first time since the controversial case, Rodwell said, “It’s like a bereavement because I have lost the children that I believed were mine. I treated them both as if they were my own. I was there at their births, went to their nativity plays and helped them with school homework.”

It’s hard to imagine such a thing even happening, but if it wasn’t for the whispering campaign that was going around, he may have never known the truth.

JAMA Report: Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Killing 225,000 People Every Year

Journal release and volume: Journal American Medical Association July 26, 2000;284(4):483-5

The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and she desribes how the US health care system may contribute to poor health.

ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR:

• 12,000 -- unnecessary surgery
• 7,000 -- medication errors in hospitals
• 20,000 -- other errors in hospitals
• 80,000 -- infections in hospitals
• 106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs

These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes!!

What does the word iatrogenic mean? This term is defined as induced in a patient by a physician's activity, manner, or therapy. Used especially of a complication of treatment.

Dr. Starfield offers several warnings in interpreting these numbers:

• First, most of the data are derived from studies in hospitalized patients.
• Second, these estimates are for deaths only and do not include negative effects that are associated with disability or discomfort.
• Third, the estimates of death due to error are lower than those in the IOM report.

If the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000. In any case, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. Even if these figures are overestimated, there is a wide margin between these numbers of deaths and the next leading cause of death (cerebrovascular disease).

Another analysis concluded that between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients experience negative effects in outpatient settings,with:

• 116 million extra physician visits
• 77 million extra prescriptions
• 17 million emergency department visits
• 8 million hospitalizations
• 3 million long-term admissions
• 199,000 additional deaths
• $77 billion in extra costs

The high cost of the health care system is considered to be a deficit, but seems to be tolerated under the assumption that better health results from more expensive care.

However, evidence from a few studies indicates that as many as 20% to 30% of patients receive inappropriate care.

An estimated 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors.

This might be tolerated if it resulted in better health, but does it? Of 13 countries in a recent comparison, the United States ranks an average of 12th (second from the bottom) for 16 available health indicators. More specifically, the ranking of the US on several indicators was:

• 13th (last) for low-birth-weight percentages
• 13th for neonatal mortality and infant mortality overall
• 11th for postneonatal mortality
• 13th for years of potential life lost (excluding external causes)
• 11th for life expectancy at 1 year for females, 12th for males
• 10th for life expectancy at 15 years for females, 12th for males
• 10th for life expectancy at 40 years for females, 9th for males
• 7th for life expectancy at 65 years for females, 7th for males
• 3rd for life expectancy at 80 years for females, 3rd for males
• 10th for age-adjusted mortality

The poor performance of the US was recently confirmed by a World Health Organization study, which used different data and ranked the United States as 15th among 25 industrialized countries.

There is a perception that the American public "behaves badly" by smoking, drinking, and perpetrating violence." However the data does not support this assertion.

• The proportion of females who smoke ranges from 14% in Japan to 41% in Denmark; in the United States, it is 24% (fifth best). For males, the range is from 26% in Sweden to 61% in Japan; it is 28% in the United States (third best).
• The US ranks fifth best for alcoholic beverage consumption.
• The US has relatively low consumption of animal fats (fifth lowest in men aged 55-64 years in 20 industrialized countries) and the third lowest mean cholesterol concentrations among men aged 50 to 70 years among 13 industrialized countries.

These estimates of death due to error are lower than those in a recent Institutes of Medicine report, and if the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000.

Even at the lower estimate of 225,000 deaths per year, this constitutes the third leading cause of death in the US, following heart disease and cancer.

Lack of technology is certainly not a contributing factor to the US's low ranking.

• Among 29 countries, the United States is second only to Japan in the availability of magnetic resonance imaging units and computed tomography scanners per million population. 17
• Japan, however, ranks highest on health, whereas the US ranks among the lowest.
• It is possible that the high use of technology in Japan is limited to diagnostic technology not matched by high rates of treatment, whereas in the US, high use of diagnostic technology may be linked to more treatment.
• Supporting this possibility are data showing that the number of employees per bed (full-time equivalents) in the United States is highest among the countries ranked, whereas they are very low in Japan, far lower than can be accounted for by the common practice of having family members rather than hospital staff provide the amenities of hospital care.

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Hepatitis

By Donna Lee Howell, FoyYou.com

American researchers have confirmed that living with chronic Hepatitis C is usually accompanied by a vitamin D deficiency. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that African Americans are the national leaders for Vitamin D Deficiency followed by Latinos. 

The Research

Presented in October 2008 at the 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, researchers from the University of Tennessee in Memphis measured the vitamin D levels in people with chronic liver disease. Of those evaluated, 85 percent of the study participants had chronic Hepatitis C. After dividing every vitamin D deficiency into three categories (mild[+1], moderate[+2] and severe[+3]), the investigators found the following:

• 92.4 percent of those with chronic liver disease had some degree of vitamin D deficiency
• At least 33 percent of participants were severely deficient in vitamin D
• Severe vitamin D deficiency was more common among those with cirrhosis

While the results of the trial conducted in Memphis clearly link vitamin D deficiency with chronic HCV infection, those affected must beware. Supplementing with vitamin D could help prevent some of the consequences of insufficient vitamin D – but taking too much poses even greater dangers. 

Researchers at the University of Bridgeport have concluded that specific GenoTypes require specific Vitamin D therapies. To learn more information, please schedule a private consultation with a GenoType Practitioner. 

Considering the statistics, you just might have a Vitamin D Deficiency. Research proves that early detection can make a difference. Don't take a chance, find out NOW.

Your Hepatitis C has a Genotype!!!

Your Hepatitis C has a Genotype!!!

personal narration and compilation by James M. Moore, FoyYou.com

There are at least 6 genotypes -- genetic strains -- of hepatitis C virus. Knowing your hepatitis C genotype is an essential part of your treatment plan because the genotype will affect your treatment, such as how long you're treated. 

Finding your genotype requires a specialized series of test, including a blood test from a genotype practitioner (rare specialization). I have been fortunate to find mine through FoyYou.com. They even have a software that tells you everything you should be eating to prevent and possibly eliminate hepatitis and other ailments, based on my personal GenoType genetic composition!

Check out this article by Charles Daniel that I snatched from About.com about Hepatitis C and the Genotypes that Resist Therapies.

Genotype 1

Genotype 1 is the most common hepatitis C genotype in the United States and Europe. Approximately 80 percent of hepatitis C infections in the U.S. are genotype 1. If you have this genotype, and need treatment, you will usually be treated with peginterferon and ribavirin for 48 weeks. However, the SVR rate (What is SVR?) is less than 50 percent, which means that less than half of the people will have an undetectable viral load six months after treatment ends. If you don't have a significant drop in viral load after 12 weeks of treatment, your doctor may discontinue treatment and try other options. (Although rarely mentioned, I purchased a consultation with a private genotype practitioner, and I learned that MY hepatitis was possibly reversible with a combination of 4 common therapies, not mentioned by my physician. I ran my customized genotype hepatitis therapies by my physician, and he gave me two thumbs up and now I’m pain free, playing with my grandchildren! Give it a try, my grandchildren are glad that I did!)

Genotype 2

Genotype 2 is the second most common hepatitis C genotype in the United States (about 10 percent are infected with this type). If you have this genotype, you will have an 80 percent chance of achieving SVR with standard therapy. Treatment for this genotype is shorter in duration and usually requires a smaller dose of ribavirin. Currently, treatment is a combination of peginterferon and ribavirin taken for 24 weeks. Some studies suggest it's possible to successfully treat people with this genotype in less than 16 weeks.

Genotype 3

This genotype is endemic in southeast Asia, but unevenly distributed throughout India, the Far East and Australia. It's estimated that about 6 percent of Americans have genotype 3. Treatment is very similar to treating genotype 2 infections. Likewise, the chance of achieving SVR is similar.

Genotype 4

This genotype is most common in Africa, the Middle East and several eastern European countries. Egypt has an especially high number of people infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 4. Treatment is the same as genotype 1: A combination of peginterferon and ribavirin taken for 48 weeks.

Genotype 5

This genotype is common in infections from South Africa. Treatment is the standard 48-week combination therapy and seems to have SVR rates comparable to genotypes 2 and 3.

Genotype 6

This genotype is common in south China, Hong Kong and other southeast Asian countries. Studies will eventually determine the best treatment guidelines for genotype 6, but current research suggests that a combination therapy of 48 weeks leads to a SVR rate between 50 and 80 percent.

Variations in Treatment

Your specific type of hepatitis C infection won't necessarily respond in the ways described above because many factors affect treatment. Some examples include:

• If you are coinfected with the hepatitis B virus
• If you are coinfected with HIV
• If you are immunocompromised because of an infection or treatment
• If you have decompensated cirrhosis
• If you have had a liver transplant
• If you have certain complications to chronic hepatitis C
• If you've relapsed or previously not responded to treatment
• If you're African-American or Hispanic (In general, African-Americans and Latinos will have a lower SVR rate to interferon-based treatment than non-Latino Caucasians.)

Genotypes Beyond

Though only six genotypes are discussed here, there are others that currently play a lesser role in hepatitis C infections. However, as the hepatitis C viruses evolve and world populations migrate, these major genotypes may change, too. The major commercial labs usually only identify the six major genotypes. Other types will probably be treated, at least initially, using the same strategies for genotype 1.
