The Body is Stupid?

That's what I feel like many scientists think when I read stories like THIS. These researchers are working hard to block normal functions in the body all in the name of health. So called "bad" cholesterol is once again taking center stage. LDL and HDL are both lipoproteins in the body, one being low density and the other high density. They both transport fatty acids and distribute them throughout the body, and both contain cholesterol. HDL is said to pick up cholesterol hanging out in arteries and transport them back to the liver for use or excretion. What's interesting is that LDL can become HDL, and vice versa, within the body. What burns me up is that most folks out there don't realize that both are just transporters for what THEY put in their body. Nevermind how much shit you eat, we've got to get rid of that nasty LDL inside. How do we do that? By putting more crap your body isn't meant to handle back in. This is mainly done in the form of statin drugs which have been shown to be quite hazardous for one's health as well. Statin is a "blocker" drug as well that inhibits natural functions in the body. This is absurd! The current medical INDUSTRY is out of control. They never look at real health and what is at the root of people's problems, but instead treat symptoms in the form of drugs, drugs, and more drugs. I'm sure that some of you have heard stories about people on an outrageous amounts of prescription drugs that suddenly get much better after stopping the intake of so much medication. Groundbreaking!!! Why not take a long hard look in the mirror and quit fooling ourselves. The human body is extremely complex and performs functions far beyond our grasp, so why not let it do it's job? My thinking is, if it decides to release a certain protein or hormone then isn't it doing that for a specific reason? Why try to stop that? When will people realize that putting more foreign substances into your body is just not healthy? It's like telling someone who just got shot that you need to shoot another bullet in there wound to rid your body of the other bullet. Stop trying to fool your body and pick up a fucking book!

Oh Soy!

Soy is flat out bad for you people. It can cause any number of problems in us, but not many people know. I urge you to check out this SITE for in depth information. This is especially important for people with kids, DO NOT FEED YOUR KIDS SOY FORMULA. Thoughts?

Passion

Today's blog is about goal setting. Why do we have goals and how do we achieve them? I've recently set some new goals for myself and have begun the process of working toward them. This may entail me going back to school for another degree, or hitting the streets and getting my hustle on. Either way I know this is what I was meant to do. My goal has a lot to do with my passion in life and how I want to give back and help others. Many times before I would set small little superficial goals involving my vanity, or some kind of monetary triviality. In the end, what does a certain amount of money or percentage of body fat really bring you? Too often we set goals that don't sit high up on our value scale. Why would you try to achieve something that doesn't even matter to you. If you value love very highly, then why put it to the side as you try to hit a certain number in your 401k for retirement? Re-evaluation and a look deep inside should tell you what you value, and this is what you must work toward. If our current economic crisis has taught us anything it's that our lives are actually quite short and should not be wasted. I wish you all the luck in the world with whatever it is you are working towards, and I hope that it is something that you will truly value for a lifetime! Be well my friends.
