Do Cocoa Help Heart Health ?

Pushing drugs !!


For years, drug companies (pharmaceuticals AKA Big Pharma) have been taking the public for a costly ride and making a killing in the process -- seriously, a lot of people are dying as a result.

In this documentary, find out how Big Pharma's clever politics and marketing schemes are tailored specifically to empty out our bank accounts and force us to sell-off our homes if need be, for drugs that would otherwise cost a few pesos elsewhere in the world.

But it doesn't stop there:

With so much profit potential glistening in their eyes, these companies have little incentive to provide cures.

Rather, they recycle old drugs, modifying them ever so slightly (often resulting in deadly cocktails), for the single purpose of acquiring new patents.

Thus, renewing their monopoly over pricing.

But that's only the beginning - Watch it and see fotr yourself :

Garlic for cholesterol reduction


According to some studies, garlic might decrease blood levels of total cholesterol by a few percentage points.

Other studies, however, suggest that it might not be as beneficial as once thought. It might also have significant side effects and/or interactions with certain medicines.

Garlic might prolong bleeding and blood clotting time, so garlic and garlic supplements should not be consumed prior to surgery and should not be taken with blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin.

Anxiety And Stress

Everyone feels a little stressed once in a while.

Stress is a very natural thing that happens to people who experience great change.

People can experience stress when they are happy or sad.

Stress is very normal; it can even help people feel motivated to accomplish tasks.

The danger is when the stress begins to cause undue distress.

Too much stress can even lead to physical exhaustion.
Sometimes diseases or illnesses can develop because of stress.
Too much stress include various heart diseases, migraines, high blood pressure and allergies.
Anxiety refers to a feeling of discomfort.
It's not a typical sense of discomfort but extreme unease that can be attributed to having to face stressful situations.
Anxiety, though another normal phenomenon for everyone, can be telling of a serious mental condition, especially useless and excessive anxiety.
Anxiety can be considered a mental health issue when it begins to interfere with a person's daily routine or daily life.
It is also true that when there is severe or long-term and consistent anxiety that this could mean that the person has serious mental health problems.

Physical stressors can act as agents in causing psychological symptoms.
Depression can result from a prolonged illness.
The opposite can also occur; psychological stressors in turn can also create physical symptoms.
The most common type of physical symptom is feeling nauseous when something bad happens or a shortness of breath when unexpected news comes.

When a person feels continuous and overwhelming stress, an anxiety syndrome can develop.
Anxiety is characterized by a feeling of apprehension, the "sick-to-the-stomach" feeling that is associated with fear and nervousness.
Most of the time, people can pinpoint the cause of stress or anxiety.
However, there are cases when the anxiety syndrome seems to be a result of many different things that may not necessarily be too overwhelming individually, but when put together lead to that feeling of mental distress.
