Allergy reducing vegetables rich in folates
Eat plenty of foods rich in folate.
1. romaine lettuce and
2. spinach, consider
3. asparagus,
4. broccoli, and
5. beans.
6. cucumber
7. Avocado
They make a healthful, delicious salad. Half a cup of raw spinach contains 100 mcg of folic acid. Add four spears of asparagus and half a cup of broccoli and you’re up to 235 mcg.
Throw in some garbanzo beans, cucumbers, and avocado and you’ve got a meal packed with allergy-reducing folate.
Folate can be destroyed by numerous pharmaceuticals, such as antacids, antidepressants, diabetic drugs, and many others.If you take any of these medications and have allergies, a folate deficiency may be why.

The truth about eggs...
Let’s get this straight. Moderately high cholesterol — in the low 200s — is not necessarily a risk factor for heart disease. And foods that are naturally high in cholesterol do not necessarily raise your blood levels of cholesterol, either.
Most of your cholesterol — 85%, in fact — comes from your liver. So you don’t need to completely avoid animal products like yogurt, cheese, and eggs in order to have low cholesterol. Or even a little beef or chicken. The key is to keep your intake low and balance it with plenty of vegetables and fruits. This keeps your liver from being congested and churning out more cholesterol than your body needs.
High-cholesterol foods have been given a bad rap. This is unfortunate, because some can be downright beneficial. Take eggs, for instance. They protect your heart and brain and lower high blood pressure. And they can do this without raising your LDL cholesterol levels.
Egg yolks are higher in choline, a nutrient that can protect you from breast cancer and memory loss, than any other food. It explained how adding eggs into your diet can be much more beneficial than harmful.
Now a new study makes eggs even more attractive. This study said eggs can reduce your blood pressure. And high blood pressure does put you at increased risk for heart disease.
Canadian researchers found that enzymes in the stomach and small intestines make several different ACE inhibitors when they come into contact with particular proteins in eggs. These are very similar to the ACE inhibitor prescription drugs prescribed by many doctors to lower blood pressure.
So far, research has been limited to laboratory tests. I expect we’ll see human studies in the future. Meanwhile, if you enjoy eggs and have high blood pressure, try eating one or two eggs a day. By the way, fried eggs had higher ACE inhibiting activity than boiled eggs. We don’t know why. But enjoy them however you want.

Why it’s not the smartest decision to take statins
The good news about statins is that they reduce cholesterol.
The bad news about statins is that they reduce cholesterol.
Most people don’t realize that cholesterol is essential for good brain function. This is why you should know that taking statins could affect your memory — and not in a positive way.
Let me explain.
Your brain needs cholesterol to release neurotransmitters. These are chemicals that send signals from brain cell to brain cell. “Neurotransmitters ... affect how smart you are and how well you remember things,” says Yeon-Kyun Shin, head researcher of a recent cholesterol study at Iowa State University.
In fact, there’s a direct connection between cholesterol and neurotransmitters.
Reduce cholesterol and you risk reducing your memory and data processing functions. This means that low cholesterol could be the unnecessary cause of some of your senior moments. Here’s why.
LDL (“lousy” cholesterol) is cholesterol in your blood that travels from the liver to cells throughout your body. HDL (“healthy” cholesterol) is cholesterol that comes out of these cells. If you have too much cholesterol getting into your cells and not enough coming out, your cells can harden. This leads to cholesterol deposits.
Statins keep your liver from making cholesterol. This means that less of it gets into your cells — including your brain cells. Dr. Shin explains, “If you try to lower the cholesterol by taking medicine that is attacking the machinery of cholesterol synthesis in the liver, that medicine goes to the brain too. And then it reduces the synthesis of cholesterol which is necessary in the brain.”
While less cholesterol in your brain may affect your memory, more cholesterol won’t make you smarter. This is because the cholesterol in your blood can’t get through the blood-brain barrier and into your brain. However, since medications that lower cholesterol (such as statins) can, the solution is to find other ways to protect your heart. Statins are not the answer.
One supplement, policosanol, lowers HDL and raises HDL without any negative side effects.
Another supplement, coenzyme Q10, which statins deplete, could be all you need to take. CoQ10 protects your heart from statin damage. But it also protects your brain. The best absorbed form of CoQ10 is ubiquinol. If you’re taking CoQ10, consider switching to ubiquinol.

How to predict heart disease
Do a blood test to show your levels of CRP (C-reactive protein).
This is a protein made in the liver that promotes inflammation and predicts your risk for heart disease.
If your CRP is high, don’t waste time trying to lower your cholesterol. Start reducing your inflammation today.
One of the easiest ways to lower your CRP is with a nutrient essential to good heart health: CoEnzyme Q10

Prostatism
Follow a simple protocol for the next three months. Here’s the protocol I’ve found to work the best:
(1) Advanced Prostate Formula — take one tablet twice a day. You can order this potent prostate supplement from Advanced Bionutritionals by calling 800-791-3395.
(2) Next, take one scoop of my Super Immune QuickStart twice a day.
(3) Get a juicer and combine 4 oz of fresh organic carrot juice, 4 oz of fresh organic green apple juice, and one teaspoon of fresh ginger. Take this three times a day.
(4) Lastly, change your diet so that you eat very little meat and dairy. Concentrate almost exclusively on fresh vegetables and fruit.
If you see improvement, just keep doing it until you can manage your symptoms.
If you see no improvement, you probably need the surgery.
