Alternative Cures

Sounds like another article has been released on the site, doesn’t it?

Well, it certainly has. The second part in the three part mini-series on mass produced and intensively (or insensitively?) farmed produce versus organically produced meat, fruit and vegetables has been published and is patiently awaiting you eager readers!

Check the articles out right here!

On a sterner note, here is an interesting fact about the banned pesticide DDT. Did you know that it is an effective control for the malaria carrying mosquito? So effective, in fact that in September 2006 the world-wide ban on DDT was lifted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in order that it be developed and used in the fight against this horrific disease that kills over a million people around the world annually.

Ok, granted it’s not ground breaking news, but if you didn’t already know that, you do now!

Thanks for looking in, see you again soon

A big deal is constantly being made about the amount of cholesterol floating around in a person’s bloodstream. If its too much (which is what most people worry about), then it can lead to well publicised health risks, such as artery damage and heart attacks.

But that’s not the whole story, by any means. There are two main types of proteins that are linked with cholesterol, LDL or bad cholesterol and HDL or good cholesterol. There is a third, known as trygicerides which when at a high level can also carry the risk of heart disease.

Not all doctors agree completely on what constitutes a “safe” level of each of these proteins, although standards have been set down by various government health bodies by which doctors can make accurate diagnoses of their patients’ potential for associated health problems.

For a more detailed report on these figures and more information all about cholesterol, please read the latest article in the articles database at Alternative Cures.

PS: The first of three articles on the hidden dangers in modern farmed produce has also been uploaded to the article database, with the next two in the mini-series to follow soon.

Thanks for looking in, see you again soon!
