The latest Wikileaks disaster is fodder for a Hollyweird movie, but
it isn’t a fantasy and the consequences are far more vast than the
odd ducks in the Obama White House are willing to admit. Hillary
Clinton is out front on this, since, like James Carville said last
week, “The White House needs somebody with a pair of balls,” and
Hillary will have to do.

Who ya gonna call?

Not Eric Holder, who was at the podium today, mumbling about laws
and regulations and what should be done, if we can do anything. His
friends at the New York Times were quick to print as much as they
could, because we all know they have the best interests of the
country at heart.

One thing is certain for the children in the White House: the public
now knows that the world is not a very safe place (if they didn’t
know it before.) Brother Arabs want the Iranians taken down (all
except the sycophantic Syrians, who are bootlickers of the first
order). The Saudi’s Yemeni’s, the boys from Abu Dhabi, United Arab
Emirates, Qutar and Egypt, they all want the United States to take
out the Persian. And they want it to happen sooner, rather than
later.

The boys have never been shy about spilling blood (except their own)
and with the Iranian loons closer and closer to Hiroshima-like
destruction capability, they are beginning to sweat in their
Calvins, beneath the 1000 threadcount cotton, in which they wander
around.

The leaks also expose the criminals in Beijing, who are guilty (by
way of Pyongyang) of giving the Iranians what they need. We have
some real friends as bankers. (And you can always trust the guys at
the bank…right?)

So a PFC (private first class) in Baghdad is responsible for all
this? Well…let’s just shoot him and solve the problem. But I have
some questions first.

Why did over 1 million government employees have access to this
information?

Why was this information kept in a data base to begin with?

Who designed the security system that would allow a PFC listening to
an Ipod to download millions of pieces of secret data?

Why have no improvements been made since the first leak?

Why is Julian Assange (a war criminal) still walking around? (The
White House claims no one knows where he is.) So maybe we should
begin cutting jobs in intellligence (say 100 a day), until somebody
finds him. And hopefully, somebody will know what to do with him and
his supporters.

This all leads me to large data bases of information, of which
Obamacare will be the largest. What is to guarantee this information
won’t be leaked to anybody who wants to know? Soon, the government
and its operatives will know everything there is to know about your
health. So much for privacy.

Obama said insurance prices wouldn’t go up.

Obama said nobody would have their coverage dropped.

He said everyone would have the same opportunity and level of care.

Every claim the Democrats made was a blatant lie and all you have to
do is pick up any newpaper to find out. (Meanwhile, practice your
Chinese.) If the government can’t keep the nation’s secrets secret,
what chance do you have?

An Example Of Nutritional Medicine

Posted: November 29th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

CoQ10 is the short name for the coenzyme Q10, also called
ubiquinone, on which there was a recent good article by Pamela
Weintraub, a senior editor at Discover. In the article, she listed a
number of good reasons for making CoQ10 an important part of your
daily routine.

In recent years, CoQ10 has gained a lot of attention as a way to
slow cardiovascular aging and heart disease. Now, there is research
that suggests therapeutic roles for CoQ10 across a range of other
illnesses, including Parkinson’s, Huntington’, and other
neurodegenerative disorders, as well as some eye conditions,
diabetes and even cancer.

Many of these treatments are experimental, but emerging research
increasingly suggests an essential role for this molecule in
sustaining health.

Recent studies suggest CoQ10 may be vital for maintaining muscle
strength, boosting energy and sharpening cognition. It’s even been
shown to prevent migraines, protect against sun damage and wrinkles
in the skin. In the practice of Integrative Medicine, supplementing
with CoQ10 is a linchpin of wellness for middle aged and older
patients.

Here’s what we know for sure, right now.

1) CoQ10 is essential for generating the cellular energy that keeps
us alive.

2) CoQ10 functions as a powerful antioxidant.

3) CoQ10 stabilizes cell membranes.

Therapeutic use of CoQ10 is best documented for diseases involving
the cardiovascular system and the heart. People with heart and
cardiovascular disease tend to be deficient in ubiquinone, with
lower levels serving as an independent predictor of mortality.

Click here

The best candidates for supplemental CoQ10 are people taking statin
drugs. Statins do lower cholesterol…but also inhibit the
production of CoQ10 by your body, as they are both produced by the
same enzyme system There can be serious side effects when you don’t
have enough CoQ10 in your system.

My special pharmaceutical grade CoQ10, Dr. Bill’s Heart Charging
Formula, delivers the goods in the most efficient way possible, as
it has been shown to be many times more absorbable than powdered
CoQ10 and therefore, more bioavailable than other brands on the
market. So, to keep your heart fully “charged” and optimize your
energy levels, click the link and get the best, today.

Are Hot Peppers Good For You?

Posted: November 23rd, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Every now and then, I like some food with some real zip. It’s not
an everyday kind of thing, it’s just something I like once in a
while. And I like to eat that spicy food during the day, not at
night. Eating really hot food at night rattles my system a little
too much.

As more and more ethnic restaurants appear on the horizon, peppers
of all kinds are making appearances in the marketplace. It used to
be that jalapenos were the hottest peppers you could find at the
grocery store, but no more. In a market I visited this weekend,
there were probably two dozen peppers that fell into the “hot”
category.

Many of them were hot, way beyond my capacity to tolerate. But I
saw many people test them, by just biting in. Some of those would
have blown my head right off, but didn’t appear to affect the
testers, in any way.

When I grew up, people would tell you that hot food wasn’t good for
you. It was their way of steering you away from Indian and Chinese
cuisine and keeping you coming back, for the blander, milder things
that they produced. As I got older and a little more well traveled,
I began to get bored with all the everyday stuff I’d been feeding
on for years.

It started in the Caribbean, where I was introduced to a number of
things that had a heat level I wasn’t used to. Then it continued in
Mexico and in a good number of joints in New York.

Peppers are filled with nutrients that have been shown to battle
cancer, heart disease and eye problems, specifically cataracts.
Peppers are full of beta carotene and vitamin C. Beta carotene plays
a huge role in keeping the body’s immune system healthy. Vitamin C
is a powerful antioxidant.

One cup of red bell pepper has twice the amount of Vitamin C as an
orange, which is usually regarded as “the source” for vitamin C.
Eating peppers raw is the best way to get the most out of them, as
cooking destroys many of the nutrients.

This is where the Mexicans had everything figured out, when they
came up with salsa, one of the greatest ways to get a good amount of
pepper in your system. And the wonderful thing about salsa is that
you can use all colors of pepper, not to mention that you can vary
the heat level to your own taste.

Hot peppers won’t hurt you, if you exercise caution. If you’re not
used to them, start down at the bottom of the heat scale. Peppers
have their own heat rating, called the Scoville scale. Bell Peppers
are at the bottom and you can move up, in steps. I never got past
the Serrano stage, which is about 6000 on the Scoville scale.
Habernero’s run at about 250,000 on the index, and can light you up.

A friend of mine once slapped habernero sauce on everything at a
BBQ. It can fool you, because it can have a sweet front end. He
ended up in the hospital where they had to cool him off (they used
ice cream). He also needed some cooling salve for one of his body
parts.

But the heat you can stand is good for you and the antoxidants will
keep flu and common colds at a distance.

A very quick, and supercharged antioxidant drink would be 5 carrots
and 2 green peppers, in a juicer.

I often add a pepper, of some sort, to my morning smoothie and wash
down my Heart Charging Formula with it:

Click here

Lately, that concoction consists of 1 cup of fresh pinneapple, a
banana, 1 cup of celery, 1 cup of cucumber, a pepper, half an apple,
and two cups of spinach. I add a little water and blend, then drink
that all morning. You could add a protein powder to that, if you
wanted to, as well.

What To Do About Kidney Stones

Posted: November 22nd, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

One of my partners is prone to kidney stones and if there one
experience I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, that is it. There is
probably no equivalent on the pain level level of kidney stones,
save childbirth, and many women who have had children and kidney
stones would tell you kidney stones are worse.

The last time he had an attack, he had to go to the ER and after a
few shots of morphine, the stone finally passed. You can actually
pass small kidney stones and not even know it, but bigger stones,
which range from the tip of a pencil to the size of a pencil eraser,
are a different matter altogether.

Medical experts aren’t exactly sure what causes kidney stones.

That’s right.

Doctors, even with all the advances in technology, still don’t have
the answers to many medical problems. The only thing they know for
sure, here, is that diet plays a role. What you eat affects the
kinds and amounts of minerals that accumulate in the urine…
minerals that, in some people, lead to the formation of stones.

The most important thing to take away from this is that if you’ve
passed one stone, the odds are pretty good that you’ll pass another.

Your doctor can identify what kind of stones you have and that is
important, because changes in your diet can help, particularly with
the two most common stones, which are uric acid and calcium stones.

Potassium is a “stone crusher” and you can get it into your diet by
eating bananas, or citrus fruit, such as oranges, or grapefruit. You
can also use a supplement, but if you eat the fruit, you also get
the fiber, which is important.

Magnesium is also important and helps to control another mineral
called oxalate (oxalic acid). Oxalate is one of the main
constituents of kidney stones. Fish, rice, avocados and broccoli
contain good amounts of magnesium.

Your doctor may recommend that you stay away from, or restrict,
certain foods, like chocolate, peanuts and other nuts, spinach and
strawberries. Most of the time, he’ll tell you you can eat these
foods, just don’t eat them more than once a week.

Fiber can also help. I don’t recommend you add commercial fiber,
just eat real food with a higher fiber content. For example, don’t
drink apple juice; eat the apple, instead.

Many people that suffer from kidney stones also have their energy
levels drop. You can stay on top of this by taking my Heart Charging
Formula. This special, highly bioavailable form of CoQ10 will give
you the boost you need to stay in balance:

Does Eating At Night Make You Fat

Posted: November 19th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Like many questions I often pose here, there are a number of ways to
answer this question.

My first answer is this: It made me fat.

Let’s go into the why. When I was making incisions and drilling,
shaving and pounding for a living, I had to work until the job was
finished. There were no union rules that said that at 4 PM you were
finished and you headed home. No…when you have a live person on
the table, there are no second bites at the apple. You finish the
job, no matter how long it takes.

This meant that, although I had a schedule, it didn’t mean I was
going to be finished when that time came. I often worked late and
that didn’t count being called in for emergencies. Sometimes, I was
no sooner in the front door than I was heading back out again. I ate
when I could and I ate what was available, which in those days was
mostly junk.

Then, when I finally did finish, I had to unwind. I usually did this
over a pizza, often putting a large one away, by myself. If it
wasn’t pizza, it might have been a couple of takeout Chinese dishes,
which aren’t exactly on the low end of the fat scale, either.

What I was doing was eating a large amount of heavy carbohydrate-
laden food just before bedtime. It was more than probability that I
was going to store that food as fat…it was reality.

Now…on the other hand, eating at night does not make you fat, IF:

Your diet is completely balanced and you are in a caloric deficit
and need to eat to get the right amount of calories.

This would pertain to people who are very active and by that, I mean
those who are working out regularly. Eating for this type is often
necessary, but they wouldn’t be eating a box of freshly made donuts
and washing it down with whole milk, which was a hospital staple.

As a general rule, if you can swing it, you shouldn’t really be
eating after say…7 PM. And if you’re eating after that hour, make
sure you’re getting good, fresh, healthy food. One successful rule
of a great many weight loss programs is the simple: NO FOOD AFTER
DINNER.

Here are a few reasons why this works:

You are less active at night and you are burning fewer calories.

Your metabolism is slowest while you’re sleeping.

You release more insulin at night, compared to morning.

Your glycogen stores are fuller after a day of eating, so you are
more likely to store excess carbohydrate as fat, instead of storing
it as muscle glycogen.

So, if you don’t eat after a certain time daily…you can probably
count on accelerating blubber loss.

It has worked for me and many others. And it can work for you, too:

If you take my Powerhouse Omega Formula and stop eating after 7PM,
you’ll really ratchet up the blubber loss.

Don’t Touch My Junk

Posted: November 18th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

I had to laugh when I saw the story about the guy who refused the
body scanner and then told TSA folks, “Don’t Touch My Junk.” I heard
there was a video too, but I haven’t seen it. Don’t have the time.
This whole “crisis” about these body scanners is sort of bizarre.

We want to be safe, but we don’t want to comply with rules that
would make us safe. The same thing is true about our health. We want
to be healthy, but we don’t like doing anything about it that
requires any effort, or inconvenience.

I’m certainly no apologist for TSA, which certainly doesn’t make me
feel any safer, but it isn’t the people doing the work who make the
policy, although they bear the brunt of our wrath. Nobody I know,
who does any travel, has a nice thing to say about them, even though
they are only doing what they are told.

What should be done here, if we really want to be safe, is adopt the
airline policies of El Al, the Israeli airline. They know how to
search for troublemakers and they don’t play at it. They have a
pretty good record, too, which is no casualties for anybody flying
with them. (I’m fairly certain there have been casualties, on those
looking to be martyrs, but we won’t be reading about them.)

But it won’t happen here. We have too many crybabies and
complainers, plus professional cranks, that come out of the woodwork
whenever we need to take serious action. The mosque apologizers in
New York are a great example, willing to let the fox in the henhouse
and then complain about it, if it’s suddenly very hungry.

We’re the same way about our health. For instance, we know it’s
probably not a good idea to drink a six pack of beer a day, but some
of us do…and then wonder how they got to be 30 pounds overweight.
Some eat chips and popcorn, guzzling soda all night, watching
television and they wonder why none of their clothes fit, or why
they need to be drinking bottles of pink stuff to quell the stomach
acid.

Antacids are a huge business…whether over the counter, or
prescription, they amount to billions of dollars and all you really
need to do is stop eating stuff you shouldn’t be eating, in the
first place.

It’s because too many of us have a philosophy of “Don’t Touch My
Junk.” We don’t care about the other guy, or other people…just
“Don’t Touch MY Junk.”

But it’s “Your Junk” that’s the problem. And only you can prevent
forest fires, or strokes, heart attacks, and so on and such forth.

Get started on my Powerhouse Omega Formula. Then start working on
your junk:

How To Handle Holiday Eating

Posted: November 17th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Years ago, I used to gain about 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and
New Year’s Day. I had all manner of excuses for this, the top one
being the number of social events I had to attend, both personally
and professionally. There was always plenty of food and drink and
more where that came from.

When companies started cutting back on all the festivities, no one
was happier than I, but I still gained the weight, even though I had
many fewer parties to attend. I just ate more at the ones I did go
to. And believe me, when somebody put out a great spread, I felt
obligated to put a good dent in at least part of it.

When I decided to lose weight a couple of dozen moons back, I knew
the Holidays would be a problem.

But I solved it and actually continued to lose weight, during the
holidays.

Here’s how I look at it now.

There are really just three big days, maybe four or five, if you
want to push it. There’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve,
and possibly Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. I consider all the
rest a festive time, but no different, in terms of diet.

To gain weight, you have to eat more calories than normal, over a
sustained period of time. Weight gain doesn’t happen in just a
couple of days. In my old life, I started overeating around
Thanksgiving and sustained it through the New Year. That’s a good
six weeks and if you’re eating extra cookies, sweets, and so on
during that period, you’re going to add some lard. Add a little
smidge of malted beverages and it gets even easier.

So, I give myself two days to indulge myself and eat whatever I
want. Those days are Thanksgiving and Christmas. For those two days,
I eat whatever I please, because I can’t celebrate with any kind of
restrictions.

But I don’t keep the celebration going. I get the extra calorie
laden food out of the house. I give it away, or I take it where it
can be used to feed anyone that’s hungry. I know a number of people
who do this and I think it’s a great idea. Many of those cook
extras, specifically to give the food away. But the key is to rid
the house of stuff you know you’ll eat…if it’s there. As one
weight loss guru says, “The easiest way not to eat cookies is not to
buy them and bring them home.” I agree. Out of site, out of mind.

Plan your holiday eating and you’ll get it about 85% right, which is
damn good for the Holidays. But don’t pass up the good stuff on your
free days. When the pumpkin pie is passed your way, have a slice,
because in the larger scheme of things, it won’t make a difference.

Another thing that helps your metabolism is to take an extra dose of
my Powerhouse Omega Formula on celebration days. Where I normally
take two in the AM and two in the PM, I take three and three. There
are no scientific studies on this, but it works for me:

You Have More To Fear From Gum Disease Than You Might Think

Posted: November 16th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Last week, I was chatting with some fellow doctors about diseases
(that’s what doctors do) and we were discussing some that you have
to worry about and others that you don’t (in spite of what the media
may be spitting out, in its neverending quest to keep us misinformed
about nearly everything).

In the last couple of years, we have been warned about the near
apocalyptic bird flu and then came H1N1, neither of which amounted
to a molehill. (Just in case you were wondering about what happened
to the gazillions of units of H1N1 vaccine, at a cost to the
taxpayers of $6 billion dollars, plus…it was destroyed last month
…because it only had a shelf life of 12 months.)

Those big pharmaceutical companies really know how to work the
government over. And of course, they were helped by their dimwitted
friends in the media, who write their press releases as news copy,
apparently without any investigation at all.

One disease that people should worry about, and often don’t, is gum
disease, also called periodontitis. Gum disease has been found to be
a factor in a number of much more serious health conditions.

For instance, if you have gum disease, you have a ten times greater
chance of having a heart attack and of developing diabetes. Gum
disease has been linked to everything from Alzheimer’s to pancreatic
cancer.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that the best way to combat gum disease is by
taking omega-3 fatty acids, most readily found in fish oil:

https://www.favoriteformulas.com?awt_l=GnZNU&awt_m=1goowykILIz2rW

Gum disease is an inflammatory condition, in which the gums become
badly inflamed after bacterial colonies invade plaque deposits which
have built up beneath the gum line. It ultimately causes receding
gums and bad breath, as well as tooth and bone loss in the jaws. It
is also the source of chronic low grade inflammation, which may lead
to inflammation in other areas.

A Harvard study of 9,000 adults, over 5 years, showed that a third
of the participants in the study, who had consumed the most DHA (one
of the omega-3′s in fish oil), had a significantly lower chance of
developing gum disease than those who consumed the least.

Dr. Kenneth Murkamal, of Harvard Medical School, says “Omega 3′s
have a wide number of potentially beneficial effects on many organs.
The gums may be a new one that has not been appreciated before.”

National Public Radio Asks A Tough Question

Posted: November 15th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

I didn’t read a newspaper, magazine, listen to radio, or watch
television last week, in an attempt to cleanse my brain of all the
drivel that has accumulated in there, during the past year. It was a
glorious seven days, but sooner or later, all good things come to an
end.

Today, I turned on the radio and somehow, National Public Radio came
on. I must have bumped an automatic button, because I normally never
listen to that station. I was in my car and traffic was a bit
tricky, so I couldn’t fiddle with the tuner to get what I wanted.

This is what they were discussing: It seems that the price of grain,
or grains, has gone up considerably since last year. For example,
corn is selling about a buck fifty more per bushel than at the same
time last year. Wheat is very similar and… I can feel you starting
to go to sleep. But an intrepid NPR reporter can keep any
conversation flowing, so she asked the speaker, whoever he was, “I
hear what you’re saying, Bob, but why hasn’t this been reflected in
the price of Corn Flakes?”

Now that was a “Stump the Band” question, if I ever heard one, and
actually quite funny, if you think about it for a minute. But Bob
was non plussed and patiently explained the different market
sectors, the order of harvests, storage and how long it actually
took the market to reflect the rise in price, in the supermarket.
Thankfully, for you, me and the rest of civilization, traffic
thinned out and I was finally able to change the station.

On the new station I tuned into, there was an interesting story
about an Australian man, who cheated death.

Now, we’re talking important world news and not corn flakes.

As it turns out, the Aussie who cheated death was a grafitti vandal
who tagged (painted) a power station with his identity (Wino). He
and his fellow taggers cut through two eight-foot metal fences, with
signs that said, “Danger – High Voltage”. Oh…and it was raining
…which may be what saved this fool’s life.

After leaving his “Wino” marker, the twenty-two year old decided to
urinate…on the transformer…whereupon, he was thrown for quite a
loop…after sustaining third degree burns to 40% of his body.
Police and hospital spokesmen say that the fact that his clothing
was soaked from the rain probably caused the 22,000 volts to bypass
his body.

It also blew the power station, costing hundreds of thousands of
dollars in damages and forced a local rail line to close. No charges
have been filed against the young man, because as the police say,
he’s going to be in recovery for a long time…so there is no hurry.

This is the kind of important thing you might miss, if you take a
week long break from what is going on in the world around you. It’s
certainly proof of why no one, with anything on the ball, listens to
NPR and why NPR needs tax money to stay on the air. You give people
a choice between the price of corn flakes and an Aussie relieving
himself on a super transformer, they’ll take the Aussie, 999 times
out of 1000.

Which is how it should be.

Over at the White House, the Obama folks are suffering from
disconnect and discombobulation, all brought on (no doubt) by their
failure to take my Powerhouse Omega Formula. Had they been taking my
Formula, they probably would not have been so embarrassed by the
Chinese, at the G20 Summit. Obama lectured the Chinese on finances
again, telling them not to manipulate their currency. The Chinese
then lectured Obama on the $600 billion the Fed is printing and
injecting into the economy. (Whoops…he did it again!)

I guess he thought no one was watching, or that the Chinese didn’t
understand that “stimulus” is currency manipulation. If you take my
pharmacuetical grade fish oil, harvested from the deep arctic waters
of Norway, you would never make that mistake, because your brain
would actually be working:

Can You Build Muscle When You’re 64

Posted: November 12th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

Back…way back in the early 1970′s…I met a guy who had been the
welterweight boxing champion of the world for a few years, back in
the mid 1940′s. I was in my twenties and he was in his sixties. He
was a very engaging gentleman and he challenged me to a game of
chess, which turned into several games, all of which he won.

So much for boxing damaging his brain. After that, he challenged me
to a race of two hundred yards, or so, which I lost badly. Then, it
was arm wrestling, which he won easily, and let me just say that he
was fit as a fiddle. He showed me all his photos and he knew
everybody who was anybody, once upon a time.

Looking back, some of the most striking photos were of him as a very
young man. In some of those he was 11 or 12 and he was lifting 100
pound sacks of grain, like a young Hercules. In others, he was
climbing rope in a big barn, using only his arms, which is no small
feat. That is something I’ll bet 99% of young men today could not
do.

He had a fitness routine that he did all the time, regardless of the
elements. It involved some running, some shadow boxing, lifting
different kinds of objects and carrying things. He didn’t have a
single piece of what we today would call “gym equipment.” He just
used what he had around him and quit, when he had worked up a good
sweat. At 64, he was one of the strongest people I have ever met.

A friend of mine started working out again recently, after a break
of more than twenty years. In his day, he was a pretty good athlete,
but when he started working out, he was a good 40 pounds overweight,
maybe closer to 50. His first two weeks were pretty hard on him, but
he kept at it. The only real change he made in his diet, in the
beginning, was giving up his beloved Dr. Pepper.

He lost 20 pounds in the first six weeks. But here is something very
interesting that he said. In about the fourth week of exercise, his
muscles started taking over. He was doing exercises he hadn’t done
for 20 years, but his body remembered them and just started telling
him how many to do. Then, he said…his body started telling him
some other things…like what food it wanted and what food it didn’t
want.

About seven weeks into his program, he bought a bag of sour cream
and onion potato chips, one of his favorite junk foods. About a
quarter of the way through the bag, he just stopped and threw them
away, because they had a real weird taste. He hasn’t eaten any
since.

What’s going on here is not strange. Your body is like a computer
and it keeps a record of everything you do. If you were once in very
good shape, that memory is contained in the brain. In his case, his
body is recalling the memory of what being in good shape involves
and helping him to get there. Why? Because the body wants to
function at an optimal level. If it can’t, it will adapt. But it
will also make you pay a price for that adaptation.

My Powerhouse Omega Formula will also help you get in better shape,
along with a better diet and exercise. They work hand in hand and
the sum of the parts is greater than any one, individually. Yes,

You can build muscle at any age and the more, the better. If we had

With my best wishes for your optimum health,

Dr. Bill
