Why not to eat
SOY!
"Soy foods contain trypsin inhibitors that inhibit protein digestion
and affect pancreatic function. In test animals, diets high in trypsin
inhibitors led to stunted growth and pancreatic disorders. Soy foods increase
the body’s requirement for vitamin D, needed for strong bones and normal
growth. Phytic acid in soy foods results in reduced bioavailabilty of iron
and zinc which are required for the health and development of the brain
and nervous system. Soy also lacks cholesterol, likewise essential for
the development of the brain and nervous system. Megadoses of phytoestrogens
in soy formula have been implicated in the current trend toward increasingly
premature sexual development in girls and delayed or retarded sexual development
in boys. "

difference between the two forms called "cis-" and "trans-." Trans-fatty
acids differ from the naturally occurring cis-fatty acids in the manner in
which they become incorporated into membranes of cells, thus affecting their
function. Also trans-fatty acids are incorporated differently into
triglycerides and phospholipids. More importantly, trans-fatty acids greatly
affect the utilization of EFA. Thus, trans-Iinoleic acid (tLA) blocks the
utilization of cis-Iinoleic acid (cLA). The presence of trans-fatty acids in
the diet increases the EFA requirement and aggravates the symptoms of EFA
deficiency.
The "cis-" form occurs in nature, while with few exceptions the "trans-"
form is only made by man. Trans-fatty acids are widely distributed in the
diet because processed vegetable oils are used in a vast variety of foods.
Vegetable oils contain generous amounts of cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids.
However, commercial processing to improve stability and odor converts a
substantial amount of the cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids to
trans-polyunsaturated fatty acid. When vegetable or seed oils are
hydrogenated to improve consistency and stability in producing margarine,
not only are saturated fatty acids formed, but trans-polyunsaturated fatty
acids are produced in great quantity. As an example, stick margarine
contains from 25 to 35 percent trans-fatty acids, tub margarine 15 to 25
percent, shortening 20 to 30 percent, and salad oils 0 to 15 percent.
To make a long story short, the typical American diet blocks the utilization
of cLA. Estimates of cLA intake are too high because both cLA and tLA are
lumped together. A large percentage of the cLA that is in the diet is
useless because of the blocking fats or deficiencies in vitamin B6, zinc and
magnesium. GLA bypasses these problems. Adding Evening Primrose Oil to the
diet is a prudent step.Blocking factors which in terfere with GLA production

"150,000 to 300,000 Americans are injured or killed each year because
of medical negligence (i.e., mistreated diseases, surgeries, drug
reactions, misprescribed drugs)." -- Wall Street Journal, Jan. 13,
1993"Iatrogenic diseases, generally defined as diseases that result from a
physician's action or in response to a drug, are believed to be a
major problem in terms of morbidity and hospital expense." -- Journal
of the American Medical Association, Dec.12, 1980"Over a million patients are injured in hospitals each year, and
approximately 180,000 die annually as a result of these injuries.
Therefore, the iatrogenic injury rate dwarfs the annual automobile
accident mortality of 45,000 and accounts for more deaths than all
other accidents combined." -- Journal of the American Medical
Association, July 5, 1995"Current research suggests that 36% of physician visits are
unnecessary; 36% of hospital admissions are caused by side effects
from other medical treatments; 53% of surgeries are unnecessary; and
half of all time spent in hospitals isn't medically indicated." --
Let's Live, February, 1995"Each year, nearly 2 million people in the United States come down
with an infection in the hospital they didn't have when they entered;
more than 80,000 of these die." -- Let's Live, June, 1995"Errors in judgment or technique concerning either the anesthesia or
the surgery, or a combination of the two, contribute to close to 50%
of the mortality in the operating room." -- Dr. James Mannis,
"Cheating Fate," Health, April 6, 1992"Stanford University doctors compared the effects of chemotherapy to
doing nothing in patients with slow growing tumors of the lymph nodes.
The patients whose treatment was deferred for years did just as well
as patients who immediately received expensive and unpleasant
chemotherapy. Nineteen of the 83 (or 23%) experienced spontaneous
remission lasting four months to six years. A review of the study in
the New England Journal of Medicine concluded, "... deferring
treatment ... may allow for spontaneous regression of the disease."
-- "Cheating Fate," Health, April 6, 1992"Chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a

Epstein. -- Congressional Record, Sept. 9, 1987"Of every 1000 American women getting mammograms each year between the
ages of 40 and 50, 345 will receive false positive results, often with
unnecessary intervention as the result." -- New England Journal of
Medicine, Feb. 11, 1993"Harvard researchers studied hospital records from the state of New
York over a one year period. They estimated that more than 13,000 New
Yorkers were killed and 2500 were permanently disabled due to medical
care. More than 51% were blamed on medical negligence." -- New
England Journal of Medicine, Feb. 7, 1991"During 1983-1992, between 90,000 and 110,000 Americans died from
reactions to prescription drugs, 320 from over the counter drugs, and
three from all dietary supplements combined, including contaminated
L-tryptophan, and zero from herbs. -- Sources: American Association

The American Hospital Association lists these as some common types of medication errors:
VIAGARAPhilosophy: I believe that if drugs cannot make you healthier when you are healthy, or help keep you healthy for health maintenance, then they are probably not too good for you when you are sick either. The exception would be in emergencies and life threatening situations, surgery, etc. Only nature heals and putting strange chemicals in your body is not a good idea. See Toxemia Explained above. Herbs may be beneficial as natural drugs, but if you follow the hygienic health rules - laws of nature - you won't need them, except possibly in emergencies or unusual situations, or when emergency allopathic drugs are not available.

Despite the jokes about unaccustomed physical activity, little is known about the role Viagra may have played in these deaths, though drug interactions are suspected in some cases. During clinical testing before FDA approval, eight men taking Viagra also died.The FDA is looking into the circumstances surrounding these reports, but for now it believes "the drug is safe and effective.'' Such reassurance would be more comforting if the agency had a better track record.
The diet drug fenfluramine (the "fen'' in the now infamous fen-phen) was pulled off the market last year, 24 years after its approval. Millions of people took this combination before it was linked to heart valve abnormalities.
Seldane (terfenadine) was also removed last year. It took five years before anyone discovered the lethal interactions associated with this nonsedating antihistamine and seven more years before it was pulled off shelves.
HOW SAFE ARE DRUGS?
It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but adverse reactions to prescription drugs are the fourth-largest cause of death nationally after heart disease, cancer and stroke. Why are medicines killing so many patients?
