Surprising Benefits of the Lemon

Surprising Benefits of the Lemon



I have been putting a lemon slices in my water and tea but never knew its effect was so great; 'will do more often, now......

Another one of those cure all fruits. But then, this is a pleasant drink and of no harm.

Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!

Benefits of the lemon.

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits . You can now help a friend in need by letting him know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.

If you can, plant a lemon tree in your garden or patio. How many people die while this is a closely guarded secret so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaire's large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is small, does not occupy much space and is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries. It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effectiveagainst internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure that is too high, and is an antidepressant for combating stress and nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, saying that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ...

The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chimiothérapeutte in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract not only destroys malignant cancer cells, but does not affect healthy cells.

The registration fee for an individual is $50, this includes athlete admission to the Europa show. Competitiors must register online prior to the competition, no day-of showing up and competing.

Teams workout:
The registration fee for a team is $150, this includes athlete admission to the Europa show. Teams must register online prior to the competition, no day-of showing up and competing. Teams will be comprised of 4-6 individuals, with a one woman minimum. As some WODs may have mandatory woman participation, it is recommended to have two women, but is not required.

Spectator fees:
We are not charging for spectators to come to the CrossFit competition, but there is a door charge with Europa to enter the convention center. All expo tickets are purchased at the door and the pricing is as follows: Ages 13-Adult, $20; Ages 6-12, $15; Ages 5 & Under, FREE. That being said, the expo ticket allows full event privileges, not just CrossFit spectator-ship. Here are the other events taking place:

Volunteers/Judges:
Thank you so much for your interest in helping, but we have no need for just “volunteers” for this event. If you want to be a part of this, in a volunteer capacity, you can help as a judge. Judges will have to pull some light volunteer duties, like situating gear and equipment between events, but because these events are in convention centers, there is no “bitch work” like parking detail and garbage pickup. It is a single day on judging/volunteering and does include entrance to the expo. We will make sure to schedule judging rotations so that everyone has a chance to enjoy the venue.

Food: 
As of now, only athletes are permitted to bring in their own food. The food must be brought in via some type of smaller and reasonable container. No ice chests or coolers. These are not our rules and are simply “as of now.” We will update any changes to these policies as needed. There are food and drinks available for purchase at the convention center and we will schedule a lunch break that is long enough for all competitors, judges, and spectators to have a chance to grab something to eat.

Registration Cut Off: 
The deadline for event registration is the Wednesday prior to the Saturday competition.
Venue, Cut Off, Competition
Orlando, April 27, April 30
Hartford, July 27, July 30
Dallas, August 10, August 13
Chicago, September 28, October 1

WODs:
At the competitions, there will be 3 individual WODs and 3 team WODs. WODs will be announced prior to the competition; most likely the Monday before the event. That will allow a window of time between WODs being announced and registration cut-off.

Scaling/Divisions:
This is an absolutely all levels experience! However, at this point there are no divisions or scaled/elite classes. If needed, an individual can scale a WOD as necessary, but will not be included in the “As RX’d” scoring.

Being involved with the Europa shows gives us a unique way to spread CrossFit to the masses and more specifically, some of “the meatheads” of the fitness industry. These competitions are great for us to showcase the whole power output and work capacity side of CrossFit. We've trying to take some of the highly skill dependent movements out of the programming or modify requirements to allow everyone to have a shot. This is about offering a legitimate competition that also gives consideration to the participants and spectators.

I think that you can prove that someone is fit without having to "prove something" through the programming. I think that's where many CrossFit competitions have gotten a little silly; people are trying to one-up other events through having the most ridiculous WODs possible. That's not our aim at all. Honestly, are WODs like "Fran" not enough to evaluate fitness levels?

Schedule:
The event schedule for all events should be fairly similar and a sample schedule will be posted this week. Each specific event’s schedule will be posted in advance of the event, most likely on the Monday that the WODs post. You can assume a run time between 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. with a lunch break.

Fight the T-Killing Toxins

by Mark Ottobre – 3/30/2011

When your dad was your age, it was probably easier for him to build muscle and burn body fat than it is for you. Does that annoy you? It should.

We've dumped 85,000 chemicals into our environment since World War II. Why should you care? All that environmental stuff is for tree-hugging hippies, right? Well, not quite. You see, certain chemicals and toxins act like a sledgehammer to the balls.

Your balls.

Toxins Lower Test

"Strength coaches around the world are finding that it's harder today for their athletes to pack on mass than it was 30 years ago," notes Coach Charles Poliquin.

The cause? Many point the finger of blame at environmental toxins. Anything that affects testosterone will affect your ability to build muscle, burn body fat, and get strong.

These toxins have a huge effect on the human endocrine system. The average sperm count fell from 113 million per millilitre in 1940 to 66 million in 1990. In addition, the definition of a "normal" sperm count fell from 60 million per millilitre to 20 million in the same period. (1)

A survey of 1,350 sperm donors in Paris found a decline in sperm counts by around 2% each year over the past 23 years, with younger men having the poorest quality semen. (2, 3, 4)

You don't have to look far to confirm this either. I bet you know someone who's having trouble conceiving. And have you noticed the increasing amount of infertility clinics around?

"Norms" Aren't So Normal

The normal level of testosterone has been reduced by the medical community as well. They simply decided to make a new norm since everyone's testosterone levels are lower than they were 50 years ago.

Take note here: They're not dropping the number because it was too high to begin with. Our numbers today are just consistently that much lower!

Know Your Enemies, Raise Your T

The most obvious thing you can do is avoid exposure to toxic chemicals in the first place, but you need to know where to look.

T-lowering toxins can show up where you least expect. For example, Bisphenol A (BPA) is in the receipts you get from a checkout register, and unfortunately, the skin does a great job of absorbing it.

Clearly, you're not going to be able to avoid all the toxins; there are just too many. But you can avoid a great deal of them.

Enemy #1: BPA

When talking about toxins or toxicity, you'll always hear someone say, "It's only harmful if it's excessive. Even water can be a toxic if it's used in lethal amounts!"

Regulating agencies around the world use the argument that only excess doses lead to toxicity. But when it comes to BPA, don't consider it a toxin. Consider it a hormone.

Any hormone can change the balance of the endocrine system. The hormone BPA best represents is a nasty form of estrogen. Dosing with smaller amounts just doesn't work for BPA.

According to Scientific American, BPA was first synthesised in 1891. It came into the use of synthetic estrogens in the 1930s. It wasn't until it was combined with phosgene (used during World War I as a toxic gas) and other compounds that BPA produced a shatter-proof plastic. (6)

Some suggest BPA was used as a replacement hormone for estrogen, but when the plastics and manufacturing industry found out about its ability to harden plastics, they bought the patent.

Scientists are now pointing out that the only studies which prove BPA's safety are the ones produced by the industry itself. It's also important to consider that the FDA accepts safety studies conducted by the industry. In other words, the fox is guarding the hen house.

Researchers estimate that BPA generates 100 million US dollars per hour, so you can understand why the industry is producing studies to protect BPA.

The Enemy's Worse than You Think

BPA acts as an estrogen, but with two differences:

1. It's foreign to the body.
2. It's more harmful than natural estrogens.

Xeno-estrogens do all the things that we don't want. Think of it as the complete opposite of injecting testosterone. Xeno-estrogens decrease testosterone and increase estrogens. Researchers have also linked it to insulin resistance. (7)

First Things First: Hydrate Smarter

You knew this was coming: Ditch the thin plastic water bottle right now.

You have a number of replacement options:

• Buy a good quality water filter for your home.
• Buy water in a carton.
• Use a BPA-free water bottle from now on.

If you decide to still use cheap plastic water bottles, follow these rules:

• Don't ever heat a plastic water bottle or leave it in the sun.
• Don't re-use it.

To know if BPA is in your bottle, look for a triangle with a 3 or a 7.

If you see a 3 or 7 in the triangle, buy a different product.

Enemy #2: Phthalates

Phthalates can be used in virtually anything from your girlfriend's sex toys to your sex toys.

Seriously, phthalates are used in everything: air-fresheners, cosmetics, shampoos, children's toys, and paints. Why the heck is a plasticiser used in air-fresheners and things that smell nice?

Phthalates hold aromas. So that car-freshener you use to hide the smell of your farts is also lowering your testosterone. (Maybe you should just lower the window from now on.)

Phthalates, like BPA, suppress testosterone, increase insulin resistance, and chelate magnesium and zinc. (10, 11) Their impact on zinc and magnesium can have a very negative compounding effect.

An interesting correlation I learned from Mark Schauss, author of Achieving Victory Over a Toxic World, is that the explosion of autism occurred simultaneously with the introduction of phthalates in 1970. Dr. Schauss would be the first person to point out that it's not only the phthalates, but also the negative synergetic effect from the mass amount of environmental toxins.

Protect Your Balls

It's not the end of the human race just yet. There are a few supplements that'll protect against environmental enemies:

1. Glycine: Glycine has been found to bind with certain toxins so they can be safely excreted. Luckily, glycine is cheap, and a gram a day would be enough for most people.


2. Vitamin C: Helps build glutathione and protects against phthalates. Take 3 grams a day. However, the best way to determine vitamin C dose is bowel tolerance.


3. Glutamine: Helps build the gut. The healthier the gut, the more it can protect you against incoming toxins. If you have leaky gut syndrome, you could take 5 to 10 grams with each meal or 60 to 80 grams a day. As for a maintenance dose, 20 to 30 grams should do the job.


4. Taurine: This is a calming amino acid but also has the ability to activate detoxification pathways. Take this either after a workout or before bed. One to three grams is best.


5. Zinc: A critical mineral for testosterone. In fact, 98% of zinc in males is stored in the prostate. Low zinc status can and will affect testosterone production. As for dosing, try 300 mgs per day. Some may benefit from more, especially if they have high copper.


6. Antioxidant supplements high in A, E, and D: My favourite way to hit this is to simply use organic butter.


7. Resveratrol: This simple polyphenol is anti-estrogenic. Including something like Rez-V™ in your supplement routine would definitely be a good move.

auna Therapy

Saunas can detox your system of phthalates. But when using a sauna for detoxification, make sure it's made with screws only, not glues, and the wood isn't from China.

Saunas made with glues leak toxins, which you breathe in. And wood from China is high in metal.

Buy Back Your T

Some of the most toxic chemicals we have today didn't exist 40 years ago, so building muscle is becoming harder because of the chemical soup in which we live.

Vote with your wallet and buy non-toxic chemicals, not because you're a tree-hugger, but because you're serious about getting as ripped as possible.

You can also check out the Environmental Working Group's website to find out which products lower T. The group has studied over 44,000 soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

The more we reject toxic products by not buying them, the stronger the message we send companies. Tell them it's not okay to make products that lower our T.

In the end, building muscle and losing fat is mostly about how you train and what you eat. But if decreasing environmental toxins will make the process faster and easier, then we're crazy for not arming ourselves with the knowledge to fight the testosterone killers.
