Is Organic Any Better

Posted: November 30th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 

I was walking around in a large grocery store, lately, one 
that is particularly popular with the organic crowd. You
can tell you’re in the right place by the number of Volvo
automobiles parked outside. And by the bumper stickers.

I was there because the produce in my regular store just
wasn’t up to par, this week, many of the shelves being empty,
and others containing products past their prime. 

I decided to stray into packaged products and I was 
surprised at the number of aisles of junk food in "the temple."
Not only were there just as many choices of potato chips,
cheese curls, crackers and other junk, but people were filling
their carts with them. I checked a few labels and, though some
of this crap was labeled organic, it certainly stretched the
definition of "healthy."

Here’s an example. Potato chips, baptized as organic, had 370
mg of sodium per serving. A serving is described as 1/2 ounce,

    which is probably no more than 5-10 chips. Since any normal

person would eat more than that, more like 3-4 ounces, even if
they had pretty good self control, the sodium content alone in a
normal serving would be more than 1500mg, way higher than you
might need for an entire day, and that’s not counting any other
"healthy" thing that you might eat.

I headed back to the produce section, found some very nice 
cauliflower, some gorgeous Brussel sprouts and some great
looking pears. As I got in line to check out, I noticed that a good .
number of the people on line were rather large. Using my eagle
eyes, I perused some of the stuff they were buying. Sure enough,
about half of what was hitting the belt was junk food, of one sort
or another. 
I had an urge to stand up on that belt and give a sermon,
but I stifled myself, paid my bill and headed home. This
store appeals to the better educated, supposedly smart
group of people, many of whom favor the nanny state.
It turns out that they are just as gullible as the poorer folks
they want to help (as in those overweight "chirren" they are
always talking about.)

Just as a rose is a rose is a rose, junk food is junk food is
junk food…and it makes you fat. The organic label just makes
it more expensive to get that way (and that’s assuming you can
believe it).

Florida Judge Helps With Weight Loss

Posted: November 29th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 

Florida judges usually aren’t known for being creative, but 
you really can’t blame them. You wouldn’t want to have to 
sit and listen to the tall tales of crack smoking, alligator
baiting idiots that reside here, either. And that’s just for 
starters, here in a state that has its share of unofficial 
dementia sufferers. Flori…DUH!

But Judge Donna Miller of Lake County helped a serious
buffet molester reduce his time in jail, for driving without a
driver’s license. She originally sentenced the 350 pound 
behemoth to 29 days in the county slammer, but told him he 
could get out a day early for every pound of lard he lost, 
while in the hoosegow. 

The perp had an official weigh-in, 20 days into his sentence,
where officials were stunned to see that he had lost 25 pounds,
mostly by eating vegetables. The officials reported to the 
judge, who released Lardass, just in time for some Thanksgiving
dinner. The judge had expected him to lose 5 or 6 pounds, at
the most, and was quite surprised.

In Cuhahoga County, Ohio, government officials removed an
8 year old, 200 pound child from his mother and placed him in
foster care. Social workers told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that
the boy had been under protective supervision, since 2010, when
he developed sleep apnea, which is commonly weight related.

Arthur Caplan, at the University of Pennsylvania, says that an 
"8 year old who weighs over 200 pounds is a ticking time bomb."

While the child is in foster care, mother and son will only be allowed
to spend time together for two hours a week. County officials (social
workers) say the child’s condition was catastrophic. 

Caplan says that doesn’t merit the county removing the child from
the home and giving him to another family.

If this case stands, there are a whole lot of fat kids going to be 
uprooted and raised by the government. Just for starters, with 
the statistics on hand, 1,400 kids would be removed from their 
families and guess who’s going to pay for that.

By the way, the fat kid is an honor student at his school. This 
would seem to suggest that county officials (social workers)
didn’t really do their homework on this. 

The public defender says intervention was appropriate, but asks,
"When did the risk become life threatening? When did it become 
a problem that had to be solved this minute?"

The nanny state continues to grow… and grow… and grow…. 

When all that really had to be done was giving Junior a little
less chow. And maybe the presence of a father would make 
a difference (as long as Dad wasn’t the hog I mentioned at the
beginning of this piece).

An Honor Roll kid could probably figure this thing out for himself,
if he just had a few simple tools.

Someone Followed My Advice…And Lived To Tell

Posted: November 28th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 
Thanksgiving is the first feast of what I like to call
"The Holiday Run." It lasts through the New Year 
and includes any number of parties, Christmas Eve,
Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day,
and a whole lot of football. It’s pretty easy to over-
eat during this time of year, especially when friends,
neighbors and co-workers are going out of their way
to make something special.

When I was growing up, we had a next door neighbor
who baked everything under the sun, by the the box.
We always got her biggest box and I don’t remember
anything I didn’t like. Down the street, another woman
made cookies, by the thousands, and she always gave
my mother a huge basket. Then there were people from
the church who dropped things off and relatives, too.

We had enough dessert to drown an army and yet, 
they always kept coming. If my mother was working,
friends brought "potluck dinners", some of which were
pretty damn good. (You knew somebody had to miss 
the mark, because not everyone can cook.)

We didn’t just set a table for the holidays, we set tables,
and used plenty of space, too. We would start eating 
early… and it really never stopped. When you’re young 
and very active, that doesn’t necessarily show, but at
some point, it starts taking a toll and every year you
add a few pounds. Just like money in Washington, pretty
soon it starts to add up, and before you know it…you’re
fat.

Then, it takes a long time to admit it…then, more time to
do something about it.

One thing that has worked for me is the "one plate" rule,
which involves eating almost anything, but one fill up is
all I get. I use a 9 inch plate, fill it up, and that’s the show.
No curtain calls. That plate may have more on it than usual,
but there are limits to what you can stack on a plate and 
actually get it to the table. 

One of our readers used this rule on Thanksgiving Day, 
and found it worked for him, too. He loaded up and upon
sitting, realized he had more vegetables on his plate than
anything else. That’s also a good thing…because vegetables
have loads of benefits and they move quickly through your
system. He also found that he didn’t need a nap after eating,
which means that the portion of food he consumed wasn’t
overloading his system and bogging it down.

You can find quite a bit of weight loss wisdom in my
special report, "Number One Fat Loss Secret" at:

http://www.drbillsformulas.com

Our reader would have done even better had he skipped
the beer, substituting water. But, one thing at a time. The
"one plate"rule works and more people should try it.

Happy Thanksgiving

I’m traveling where internet connections are far away and few 
in number. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and enjoy a food
holiday. I’ve secretly brought along a pumpkin pie so I don’t 
miss out on one of my favorite foods.
 
God Bless you all!

Granny Gets Waterboarded

Posted: November 22nd, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 
You just have to wonder about some people.

When I first heard this story, a day or two ago, I thought it
might be a hoax. I just found it hard to believe that a care-
giver could engage in this kind of behavior. But the story 
is true. Two women in Georgia have been charged with
assault, in the waterboarding of an 89 year old woman who
suffers from severe dementia.

The two dolts were angry at the old woman for arguing with
them about ice cream, so they took her in the shower and 
sprayed water in her face from a showerhead, which mimics
the effect of drowning.

This act makes me want to go "medieval" on the two idiots
charged by the police. It makes me want to sentence them 
to some Singapore style justice, where they would get a very
public caning, from the meanest guy I could find. 

How dumb do you have to be to get into an argument with an
89 year old woman, with severe dementia, and then punish her?
I’m hoping they can work the stupidity out of this pair with
about 30 years of burying, and reburying, sand fleas. Neither
wind, rain, snow, sleet, hail, or burning sun should keep them
from their duties. 

And no ice cream, under any circumstances.

On a positive note, the First Lady, and the Second Lady, got
booed when introduced at a NASCAR event, over the weekend.
I guess the crowd wanted to have them send a message to 
their husbands that was pretty clear. 

Normally, I wouldn’t boo the First Lady, or the Second, but 
it is clear that both are campaigning. Word is that Michelle
will have a large role in the neverending campaign, come January.

Somebody at the White House should call Chris Matthews. I mean,
the poor guy no longer has the tingle in his jingle. What kind of a
journalist says, "Commander…just give us our marching orders…
tell us what you want us to do." 

Matthews needs a large fish oil injection…say about about a 
five gallon pail full. More? More? 

For the rest of us, the 99.9%, four of my enteric coated Powerhouse
Omega Formula soft gels is enough. The enteric coating eliminates
the "fish burp," which is unpleasant, to say the least. The enteric 
coating ensures that the soft gels pass all the way to the small intestine,
before releasing the fish oil. That means that the fish oil gets absorbed, 
without going back up the way it came down.

What To Do About Children Of Priveledge

Posted: November 21st, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 
n the last couple of months, the Obama Express (MSNBC) has hired 
some young people, to try and get their pathetic ratings to register on 
the charts. They can take some solace from the fact that they are ahead
of Fat Al’s Current TV, but other than that, they are destined for the same 
graveyard as Air America, the dearly departed liberal radio network.

The two people MSNBC went out and hired were Chelsea Clinton and 
Meghan McCain. Chelsea is the spawn of Billy Jaye and Hillary and
Meghan was somehow synthesized by John and Cindy McCain. So far,
I haven’t heard any analysis by Chelsea Clinton that I can fault. That’s
because I don’t think she has made her network debut. Meghan McCain,
on the other hand, has been yapping it up since 2008, both on her blog
and on television and radio. 

Her blog is singularly awful and her appearances on radio and television
certainly haven’t yielded an iota of intelligent discourse. She is a complainer, 
pure and simple, and she likes needling Republicans, because they are not
quite as "enlightened" as she is. In the simple translation, when a Republican
becomes "enlightened," it usually means they are really a Democrat.

Chelsea Clinton won’t have to play this game, because she has been 
indoctrinated with liberalism, since birth, and also married into the party.
She will also have impeccable sources for a good long time and Mom 
and Dad will be heavily invested in her success. It’s a good career move
to start at the top of the heap and then, transcend even bigger mountains.

Except for one thing.

Nobody in the game really takes a shine to a legacy, unless they can prove
themselves, beyond a shadow of doubt. Meghan McCain won’t be around long,
probably disappearing when Pops retires in a few years, or before. Criticizing
your father’s contemporaries doesn’t win you many friends and piles up the
enemies.

Chelsea will probably last longer, before she opts to run one of the Clinton 
foundations (which is where Billy Jaye stashes his large deposits of cash).

What we should do is this: Don’t pay them no nevermind.

Once, when traveling through Tennessee, I stopped at a country store.
I saw saw two guys fighting on the side of the store. There was an oldtimer
sitting on the stairs and I asked him what was going on. 

"Ah…" he said, "Ah don’t pay pay them no nevermind."

Good advice.

One piece of advice for Meghan McCain, though. She really should get my
E-book on fat loss, my "Number One Fat Loss Secret." She certainly looks
like she hasn’t missed any of those notorious Happy Hour Buffets, in the 
District, lately.

Will Fasting Hurt My Weight Loss Efforts

Posted: November 20th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 
Today’s question comes from a reader who has started on the road to
fitness, by employing a number of different strategies to make it 
happen. So far, he is down 12 pounds, which is a fine start.
 
He is exercising a minimum of five days a week and tries to do
something every day. This is perfectly fine, so long as you don’t do 
something strenuous every day. Many people walk every day, for 
instance, and don’t even really consider that part of their exercise 
program. They count what they do, other than walking, as exercise, 
like lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises and so on.
 
He also has made significant changes in what he eats, eliminating
almost all packaged food and going with protein, fruit and 
vegetables. He still eats a couple of Snickers bars and a bag of 
pork rinds a week, which isn’t good for you, but let’s remember that 
he has lost twelve pounds in five weeks.
 
He heard about what is called "intermittent fasting," and wanted to
know if it’s helpful, or harmful.
 
Now, before I tell you what I think, let me tell you that this is a
very controversial idea in the fitness community, where the 
sentiment runs heavily against the idea. All the trainers, diet 
experts and nutritionists are heavily invested in regular meals, on 
some kind of schedule, and they have a whole laundry list of reasons 
why this approach won’t work, or is harmful…and won’t work.
 
They will tell you that you’ll lose muscle tone, strength, energy…
and that your body will go on the fritz quickly, which can only be 
remedied by eating the way they tell you.
 
By the way…"intermittent fasting" means that you abstain from food 
for one or two days a week. (So this definitely is not for 
everyone.)
 
So let’s boil it down for Bubba.
 
Will it hurt you, or help you?
 
It certainly won’t hurt you…provided that you’re in pretty good
shape…with no serious health problems, such as diabetes, high 
blood pressure, and so on. You could probably do it, even with those 
problems, but you definitely need to see your doctor first and get 
the okay. (This is common sense, but….)
 
Will it help?
 
Last week, I talked about the first rule of weight loss, which
simply put is:  In order to lose weight, you must take in fewer 
calories than you are taking in at present. I used the 3000 calories 
a day figure, dropping the number to 2500, and multiplying out the 
number over a year.
 
So lets apply this to fasting, using one day a week. Let’s assume
you have already dropped your 3000 calories a day to 2500 calories a 
day and you’ve been doing this for a while…with no ill effects… 
and you’re losing weight. Your net drop in calories is 3500 calories 
a week. Now with a fast (for 24 hours), you are dropping another 
2500. That’s upping the ante to 6000 calories a week. This certainly 
should speed up your weight loss, provided that you do not 
overcompensate when you break your fast (ie.,eating over 2500 
calories).
 
Will you lose muscle tone? Will your energy level go down?
 
No. Tests have shown that none of the things the fitness community
claims will happen…actually do happen. It’s just another in the 
long list of "Gym myths," which are too numerous to count.
 
So…once you’ve started a good program, like mine, which you can
find at:
 
http://www.drbillsformulas.com
 
…and you’re doing well (actually losing weight), you might give 
this a try, if you’re so inclined. If it works for you, you’ve found 
another key to fitness.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,

The Healing Food From Gilligan’s Island

How Long Is That In Hollywood Years

Posted: November 18th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 
Splitsville.

Another Hollywood marraige falls apart. This time it’s one
of the unions that was more improbable, in the first place.
It’s Demi and Ashton, which was always a bit strange, to my
mind anyway. Sort of like the Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers 
union, she being older than he by a decade. I think Demi
is 15 years older than Ashton and in Southern California,
Demi could be a Grandmother, not that I’m complaining.
I could get in trouble for this, but I’m sure Ashton gets 
ribbed by younger guys for hanging out with a GILF.

(Lord, forgive me…)

I’m not sure exactly how old Ashton is, but Demi probably wanted
him to grow up, or to be something he wasn’t, which is always
treacherous territory, and extremely treacherous in Hollywood.
Nobody in Hollywood wants to grow anything, except rich, and
if they already are, then they want more. 

Mo’ fame, mo’ money. That’s a mantra you can believe in. Or 
not, like the rest of us. 

I haven’t the foggiest idea of why these two split up. There 
were rumors of wild sex, together, and apart; lots of drugs
and other central nervous system depressants, the demands 
of two careers, not always in sync, and just living in the most
jaded city on earth. 

I liken Hollywood marriages to dog years. Six years of a 
Hollywood union is most likely about twenty for the rest of us.
I don’t know about you, but there isn’t a Playboy centerfold
around every corner where I live, or ten people carrying every
drug known to man, within arm’s reach. I also don’t have 
pocketsfull of FU money, that I can throw around whenever 
the wind blows.

I’ll never spend 100 grand a week, to rent a yacht in Cannes,
or buy Crystal by the uber magnum, or snort up half of Bolivia,
for a good time. After you’ve done all that, you have to have a
fallback position, or check out early. 

In Hollywood, the fallback posiion is a new girlfriend/boyfriend/
marriage, which usually fails for the same reason the first one did. 

But the main thing we can take away from this is that we don’t
have to feel sorry for either one of them. Both of them have 
enough dough to tell the whole world to kiss their finely scuplted
posteriors, and laugh all the way to the gates of the nearest 
studio, where the cash machine spits out bills with seven figures.

Now that we’re finished with this subject, any bets on who their 
next partners will be? Or is that too crass? I’ll bet at least one is
already hooked up with someone else, because no one in 
Hollywood wants to be miserable by themselves.

And that’s your Hollywood moment.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Anything Made In China

Posted: November 17th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »
 

Most of us have a number of things in our houses and 
businesses that were made in China. We most likely bought 
these items because they were cheaper than other 
manufactured goods from around the world, including items 
made in America.

These are tough economic times and families are struggling
to pay their bills and other living expenses. If one item is $10
cheaper than another, that $10 can be spent on something 
else. Everybody, including me, loves a bargain.

But there is increasing evidence that the Chinese don’t play fair
(currency manipulation is just one example) and that they also
seem to engage in making deliberately toxic products.

Some of the toxic products shipped to the United States 
include hazardous cardiograph machines, cosmetics, pet
medicine, diet drugs, orthodontic parts, surgical bandages,
frozen spinach, asparagus and candy. In the month of April,
this year, the FDA issued 197 import refusals on Chinese 
goods. 

Here is the reason for the issuance of refusal on a container
of fish: 

"This article appears to consist, in whole or in part, of a filthy, 
putrid, or decomposed substance, or be otherwise unfit for food."  

This doesn’t guarantee that the product won’t reach the 
distribution chain. Corrupt Chinese merchants will often 
relabel a container and try and pass it through another port. 

In February of this year, a research team from Thomas Jefferson
University Hospital, in Philadelphia, tested Chinese products for 
lead. Among the products tested were ceramic plates, bowls, 
teacups and silverware, being sold in Philadelphia. They tested
products from Philadelphia’s Chinatown and from suburban 
department stores.

25% of the products tested were lead positive.

Dr. Gerald O’Malley, a toxicologist who spearheaded the study,
said this: "We were astounded…astounded…to find so many of
the products positive for lead." O’Malley warned that lead in 
Chinese products presents a very serious health threat.

The most outrageous aspect of toxic trade is the thousands 
of contaminated toys that are shipped abroad and end up in the 
hands of unsuspecting kids. In 2008, Healthytoys.com found 
that 21% of toys made in China contained detectable levels
of lead. 

In 2009, Mr. Squiggles, a stuffed hamster toy, for kids three 
years and older, made by Zhu-Zhu Pets, and one of the most
popular gifts that year, was found to contain a cancer causing
metallic compound called antimony.

In 2011, Tween Brands Inc. recalled 137,000 pieces of jewelry,
marketed to kids, that contained dangerously high levels of cadmium, 
a metallic element that can cause cancer, as well as damage to 
the liver and bones. The state of California limits cadmium to a
tiny 0.03 per cent. The recalled Chinese product had cadmium 
levels as high as 69 per cent.

In the past few years, toxic Chinese products sold to American 
kids have included dolls, toy trucks, Elmo, Big Bird, Dora the Explorer,
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, the Princess and the Frog, and 
Best Friends bracelets.

This just the tip of the iceberg.

Chinese food products are overwhelming the marketplace, yet 
consumer safety groups have found them to be full of illegal  
antibiotics, pesticides, carcinogens and bacteria. 

Foods to stay away from are fruits, mushrooms, apples, seafood,
apple juice, tilapia, cod and spinach, as well as dog and cat food. 

It’s an easy decision for me. If the label says it was made in China,
I’m not buying it, no matter how much cheaper it is. Let them drown
in the crap they’re making. 

Much of the world’s fish oil is manufactured and bottled, in China 
and India, where there are no discernable standards that anyone
can point to. The Chinese will cut any corner…or any throat…to get
ahead. That cheap supplement you see on the shelves of big box
stores and in grocery and drug store chains, was probably made 
there.

That’s why you should be buying my pharmaceutical grade 
Powerhouse Omega Formula. There is a huge difference between
pharmaceutical grade and food grade, which is what is being 
sold in most outlets, here. 


I’m not taking any chances on Chinese made fish oil, which 
probably has more toxins than a Russian nuclear plant and you
shouldn’t either. 

And they can keep the rest of their junk, too.
