• Guide to Measuring Blood Pressure

  According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure (≥130/80 mm Hg), which is the #1 preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke and heart failure, as well as kidney disease, cognitive decline and dementia.

  Below is a guide to measure blood presure accurately based on recommendation from Harvard Heart Health.

• Introduction to Sex-hormonal Related Cancers and Endometriosis

  Each morning when I sign into my PC, I check the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) news, health and science bulletins.

  The top news stories have frequent references to the problems that women have with their health, the difficulty that they have in obtaining diagnosis and treatment and the suffering that they are enduring. These conditions include endometriosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), as well as sex-hormonal related cancers such as breast, endometrium and ovarian cancers.

  It is estimated that in Australia 11%-16% of women in the relevant target population are afflicted by endometriosis - a devastating condition.

  I have a 150 page, 120000 word website. The web site has a range of supporting material including ebooks, a published book and video. My story (and some great photos) can be viewed below. I have a reference manager that contains over 4000 entries. Most are primary references from peer-reviewed journals where I have the article on my PC. There are also references to books, TV documentaries, podcasts, webpages, blog posts, newspaper articles, conference papers, ABC programs and news items, WHO reports and documents.

  There are some remarkable stories, available from the home page of my website, of people's lives being transformed (for the better) from debilitating conditions simply by changing what they eat.

  I am hoping to connect with an inquisitive and committed journalist who is passionate in informing the Australian public of the miraculous power of our bodies to heal if given the opportunity. This could be Walkley Award material.

  This is my effort in attempting to make the world a better place - for the people, our earth and the animals we share the planet with.

• Blood Group Diets – Peter D’Adamo

  Peter D'Adamo claims that blood type O is the oldest of the blood groups because it is the simplest.

  The conventional view as explained by Rachel Ehrenberg and Laure Ségurel is significantly different.

  They state that:

  The A, B and O versions of the gene differ only slightly.

  We show that instead the remarkable distribution of ABO alleles reflects the persistence of an old ancestral polymormorphism that originated at least 20 million years ago and is shared identical from descent by humans and gibbons as well as among distantly related Old World Monkeys. The O type cropped up later - still long before chimpanzees and humans diverged.

• DNA, Genetics and Epigenetics

  A chromosome is a thread-like structure made of DNA and protein that holds genetic instructions. It as a tightly packed package or an instruction manual inside your cells that tells your body how to grow and work.

  A double helix describes the structure of DNA. A DNA molecule is made up of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder in a helix-like shape.

  Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

  Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) or thymine (T). These are the rungs of the ladder that connects the two strands. Adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine.

• Buddhism and Diet

  Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) founded Buddhism in the 5th to 4th century BCE in the eastern part of India.

  The Buddha was born 563 BCE in Lumbini central-southern Nepal, 150 km [100 mi] west of Kathmandu.

  Buddhism has a number of dietary practices that different groups adhere to in varying degrees. Some refrain from consuming animals, alcohol and certain vegetables.

  Buddhists eat a vegetarian diet with a core teaching that prohibits taking the life of any person or animal. Some interpret this as allowing a lacto-vegetarian diet diet. This means they consume dairy products but exclude eggs, poultry, fish, and meat from their diet.

  Others allow the consumption of eggs.

  Some Buddhists consume meat and other animal products if the animals aren’t slaughtered for especially them.

  The people who kill the animals are often shunned and forced to live on the outskirts of the village. However, those who consume the products are allowed to do so.

• The Myth of Good and Bad Cholesterol

  According to William Roberts, the long-serving editor or the Journal of Cardiology, the only direct atherosclerotic risk factor is high cholesterol. The goal for total cholesterol level is < 150 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L] and for LDL cholesterol it is < 70 mg/dL [1.8 mmol/L].

  Atherosclerosis is not a disease of carnivores, and it is not possible to produce atherosclerosis in carnivores [dogs, cats, tigers, lions, etc.].

  We are not natural carnivores. We evolved to eat plants, fruits, and starches!

  It is generally accepted that HDL Cholesterol absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver where if is then flushed it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

  However, excess cholesterol can only occur in herbivores AND ALL animals have HDL Cholesterol. The purpose of HDL Cholesterol is NOT to flush the excess from the blood.
