====================================
If you read nothing else today read THOUGHT OF THE DAY as it carries some important information on Vitamin D testing!

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

Ask Lena Health Questions and Answers is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different perspective on a particular problem! My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well!

QUESTION:
 
I've reached the conclusion that my obesity might be because of medications I take. Is that possible?

I've been on medications for many years now and my health seems to get worse and not better even with the mediations. It started with diabetes which I take medication and insulin now I've been diagnosed with a fatty liver and high cholesterol. I have been obese most of my adult life and my cholesterol is said to be high and now am on medication for that?  Can you help me out at all with something natural What do you recommend?
 
Thank you,
J
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Yes to your first question!

I'm reading between the lines here and I hear a lot of not understanding and frustration in this question and unasked questions. So I shall try to cover those unasked questions first because as a medical office nurse for so many years I found that people would comply with treatments better when they understood why their problem existed and how they could contribute to reversing their problem(s)... That became part of my job, as a medical office nurse, to help them understand and how to contribute... Sadly what I knew for most of those years didn't really help reverse their health issues.

It took me at least 12 years in the office of watching the problems occur with taking of medications before I started looking at it and trying to find answers for them that work.
 
Diabetes is of epidemic proportions for many years now. Conventional medicine would have you believe it's the person's fault that their obesity exists, and in some instances that is true but not always. First I will cover the obesity factor that is so misunderstood.
 
The majority of obesity, which is actually setting up the world for the current diabetes epidemic running rampant as well as a host of other illnesses that, after watching it, I believe, is all because of hunger and malnourishment... Others may say different but in 1936 it was said that malnourishment would set up this problem but has been remiss in teaching it to our medical profession since the 40's. 

With obesity comes the shame and self contempt factor caused by that obesity and with many tries at losing weight then becomes a fatalistic attitude of, "Well this is my lot in life and I can't change it!" and that pattern of thinking continues and sets up the body for many illnesses... A great hunger exists - and people are trying to fill that hunger with food - because the body is so deplete of the nutrients it needs caused because our foods no longer contain them and our body cannot manufacture the  minerals portion of nutrients necessary for absorption and that creates malnourishment.

Correcting That!

The first area at correcting that is to give your body the ability to absorb the nutrients that you do consume and supplementing those that you aren't getting and that one fact can curb the appetite. That can only be possible when the body is minerals balanced and probiotic rich. Read If Your Missing One You Are Probably Missing More!
 
Correcting that requires that you begin by supplementing with 1/2 to 1 tsp twice a day with Balanced Ionic Liquid minerals giving the body a full 84 minerals and trace minerals making it possible to absorb ALL OTHER nutrients. This formula is 100% immediately absorbable and bathes the cells in your blood plasma with the minerals that you should have... If everyone over the age of 12 took these daily we would see so much less obesity and diabetes running rampant as it is now?
 
Then comes the Immune System

The malnourishment contributes to the lack of probiotics and digestive enzymes the body must have to absorb nutrients taken into the body. The stomach and intestines contain 80% of the immune system and when the digestive enzymes and probiotic balance is off the body is ripe for illness and disease?

There is a whole lot more to regaining health but these are the basics required. But in obesity the liver is compromised so severely that it needs help. Especially after taking medications for any length of time. If you read the inserts that come with medications you will find every single one lists possible liver problems and recommends liver testing to track it. One prescription might sneak past the liver but when you add more than one that is a huge problem.

With the liver being the largest health giving organ in the body found high in the right upper abdomen, behind the ribs. The liver is a very complex organ and has many functions and when it isn't working at its best, which happens with obesity as the liver becomes a fatty liver. Creating the climate for a lot of serious illnesses. The liver stores energy in the form of sugar (glucose), stores vitamins, iron and other minerals for use when needed or when overloaded with them and definitely fast becomes overloaded in diabetics, requiring monthly liver cleansing until such time your body is back in top health mode.

The Liver stores and processes with iron and chemicals fast becoming overloaded due to the body's other organs not functioning as they should in diabetics and obese people. The liver makes proteins, including blood clotting factors, to keep the body healthy and help it grow. It processes and discharges worn out red blood cells. Is continuously making bile needed for digestion of meats and heavy foods, while storing chemicals contained in processed and prepackaged foods. It metabolizes or breaks down many medications and alcohol, and when overloaded with any one or a combination of those serious, not so good consequences occur. The liver also kills germs that enter the body through the intestines and gets passed on when the intestinal system's natural necessary bacteria is out of balance. So it is necessary for the liver to function to its best ability.

The pancreas is responsible for balancing your insulin usage and needs, but only when the liver and the pancreas are in complete sync with one another can that occur... With a majority of diabetics a faulty thyroid also exists and goes undiagnosed creating a harder to control pancreas and until the thyroid is brought into balance. Sadly a faulty thyroid is most often not diagnosed for months or years or never and all that time other parts of your body is suffering because of it. To do a simple home check to see if that is your case Click Here!
 
Once you get a of balance minerals working in your body the rest will come easier. 

Next necessity is a total Meganutrient Vitamin complex to feed your body the nutrients not contained in foods that has assisted in your hunger and obesity... MegaNutrient Vitamins  works great and is the total vitamin complex that outdoes any other vitamin formulation on the market today. Centrum is said to be the best on the commercial market but MegaNutrient tops it so much that it isn't even close... This complex Maximizes vitamin balance and Prevents Serious Diseases. Maximizes and Normalizes Your Digestion. Energizes and repairs every cell in your body. Provides Targeted Support to your Eyes, Bones, Organs and Heart all while helping lift and feel your active healthy vigorous best.
 
Then work on your diabetes and healing the pancreas; Ninety Per Cent of Diabetes is correctable and reversible naturally and we are watching it happen daily. Some of my family has been the recipients of that correction so I know it works. Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals (1/2 to 1 teaspoon in 6 ounces of beet, V8 or carrot juice) morning and noon or early afternoon, DiaBesity Blood Sugar herbal/nutrient formula taken 10 to 15 minutes before meals is controlling and lowering blood sugars while helping repair the pancreas.. We will need to know how high your blood sugar is running, in order to say whether you will need 1, 2 or 3 capsules before meals and if you need the added Protein Plus Chromium, missing in most diabetics and specially in those who are insulin dependent..

Also 30 to 45 minutes of walking or other exercise and sunshine daily, but no less than 5 days a week! Make sure you are not using Aspartame, Splenda or other chemical artificial sweeteners as they can actually increase your blood sugars and create obesity. For a sweetener go with Stevia (found at most health food stores www.stevia.com).

I cannot say loud enough - STAY AWAY FROM ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS! Those are brain killers and the brain controls the whole body... You should be able to stop diabetic medications shortly after starting the above suggestions. We stopped my fathers the day he started the herbs and minerals and he has been an ex-diabetic for over five years now. He only took the DiaBesity for about three months before discontinuing it and blood sugars continue good!
 
Following a 7-day cleansing diet will speed results, while helping the body heal and readjust.
 
If you choose to do alternative healing we will need a weekly report or in some cases daily by email or phone (928-636-9425) to better help you. Before giving you absolute dosage requirements we will need your height, weight, blood pressure and your target weight goal, which will help us guide you in any changes that may be needed weekly or monthly? If you choose to go this healthy route be sure to email with that information...

This is a long way of answering your question about your medications causing your obesity. Medications damage the body in the areas I've listed that in turn causes obesity, heart disease and cancer.
 
I hope I have overloaded you with information but if you don?t know the full story you can't do anything about it.

If you had a vitamin D test done in 2007 or 2008 you mightwant to consider getting your vitamin D level tested now -- even if you just had one done. Last month, the country's biggest laboratory, Quest Diagnositcs, announced that the results of many of the vitamin D tests it performed between 2007 and 2008 were inaccurate, showing mistakenly high levels.

In other words, you could still be at risk for deficiency of this essential nutrient.

When they discovered the problem, the lab sent letters to the doctors who had sent patient blood samples to Quest for evaluation -- and there's a good chance your doctor may have been one of them.

FACE VALUE

Ted Engstrom in HIGH PERFORMANCE (Here's Life Publishers, 1988) tells the story of a trusted advisor of President Abraham Lincoln who recommended a candidate for Lincoln's cabinet. Lincoln declined and when asked why, he said, "I don't like the man's face."

"But the poor man is not responsible for his face," his advisor insisted.

"Every man over forty is responsible for his face," Lincoln replied, and the prospect was considered no more.

That makes me want to look into a mirror! It's always been a comfort to me that I am BEHIND my face. I can look at something else.

Lincoln, of course, was referring to the man's expression and disposition rather than his features. And I believe that we do bear some responsibility here.

If our faces convey the thoughts and attitudes nurtured in our minds, then we are responsible for our faces. And we are responsible for how we will "face" each day.

One woman reported that she had just paid for some purchases when she heard the cashier say something. Not understanding, she asked her to repeat it. "I said have a happy day," the cashier snapped. "Are you deaf?" Here is a person who seems to be unaware of how she is facing others.

Earl Nightingale put it like this: "Our attitude is something we can control. We can establish our attitude each morning when we start our day. In fact, we do just that whether we realize it or not."

And that's the point, isn't it? If I realize that I am already choosing my attitudes every day, I can make better choices. If I realize that I am already choosing my face, I can put on different face.

If I face the day with a little more hope and confidence, more generosity and love, I'll be happier for it. And who knows? Maybe a modern day Lincoln will say he likes my face.
