40% British Cancers Preventable and American Cancer Association said cancer prevention would be profound

The Daily Telegraph in London reported on research which indicates that 40% of Cancers in the UK is preventable.

The American Cancer Association said last week that over 35 % of Cancer cases in the United States could be avoided with change in Diet, Exercise, and Alcohol.

As the Obama administration is interested in Preventative Health as a means to mitigate the Health Care epidemic of costs and lack of results, I submit an answer.

As i have written about in my book, A Clear and Definite Path, the key to health is the combination of Eating Smart and Exercising Smart, and doing both as a lifestyle not a diet. I have been teaching and coaching this subject for 10 years and have seen result after result of people who have started in deep pain and ill health, and brought them to a place of pain free and healthier overall condition.

We need to put all of our intention and attention towards Prevention! Prevention of obesity in Childhood, Prevention of Cancer, Prevention of Heart Disease. Prevention is always better than cure! I can handle any study that somebody wants to fund or support demonstrating the relationship between Yoga, Smart Eating and Disease Prevention.

I have already designed such a study, and i will be forwarding this email to President Obama as well. We will see how serious people are about prevention of Disease and lowering health care costs on the both the front and back end substantially. Think of all the money that could be saved if people were not getting the kind of diseases with the kind of frequency.

It has long been obvious that smarter decisions effect things. What is interesting about this week is that the big research forces and cancer organizations are clearly explaining that the Triumverate of Eating Smart, Exercising Daily and reduce Alcohol can and will PREVENT CANCER. It is noteworthy that they are drawing this conclusion and hopefully the skeptical will now see the the light. Prevention is better than Cure!

The Fred Busch Program that i put my students on does exactly this! It creates an environment for prevention of problems, or alleviates already existing ones, within a spiritual context of realizing your true nature and Higher Self.

The Fred Busch program is specifically designed to Prevent Cancer.

Happy to be in London

I just arrived back in London to do the Teachers Training that begins in two days. I am excited to meet the new Teacher Training Group and to reconnect with my friends from last years. Just arrived this morning and i teach a Public Class tomorrow morning at 10:30am at Fulham Yogashala and then will begin the official training on Sunday. I will try to post pictures and give updates the way a blog is supposed to be used. Blessings!

Kiva Microlending

Hi!

I just made a loan to someone in the developing world using a revolutionary new website called Kiva (www.kiva.org).

You can go to Kiva's website and lend to someone in the developing world who needs a loan for their business - like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent - and you get updates letting you know how the entrepreneur is going.

The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money back - and Kiva's loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is being handled responsibly.

I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named Gladys Nimako in Ghana. They still need another $475.00 to complete their loan request of $525.00 (you can loan as little as $25.00!). Help me get this entrepreneur off the ground by clicking on the link below to make a loan to Gladys Nimako too:

http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=87671

It's finally easy to actually do something about poverty - using Kiva I know exactly who my money is loaned to and what they're using it for. And most of all, I know that I'm helping them build a
sustainable business that will provide income to feed, clothe, house and educate their family long after my loan is paid back.

Join me in changing the world - one loan at a time.

Thanks!

BBC reports 1 billion frogs killed a year for human food!!!

This has to stop soon! Please don't support this abomination and try to stop it. BBC reports:

A billion frogs on world's plates

How amphibians are harvested around the world In pictures

Up to one billion frogs are taken from the wild for human consumption each year, according to a new study.

Researchers arrived at this conclusion by analysing UN trade data, although they acknowledge there is a lot of uncertainty in the figure.

France and the US are the two biggest importers, with significant consumption in several East Asian nations.

About one-third of all amphibians are listed as threatened species, with habitat loss the biggest factor.

But hunting is acknowledged as another important driver for some species, along with climate change, pollution and disease - notably the fungal condition chytridiomycosis which has brought rapid extinctions to some amphibians.

Absence of essential data to monitor and manage the wild harvest is a large concern Professor Corey Bradshaw

The new research, to be published in a forthcoming edition of the journal Conservation Biology, suggests that the global trade in wild frogs has been underestimated in the past.

"Frogs legs are on the menu at school cafeterias in Europe, market stalls and dinner tables across Asia to high end restaurants throughout the world," said Corey Bradshaw from Adelaide University in Australia.

"Amphibians are already the most threatened animal group yet assessed because of disease, habitat loss and climate change - man's massive appetite for their legs is not helping."

Amphibians are farmed for food in some countries but these animals are not included in the new analysis.

Exporting extinction

Indonesia emerged from Professor Bradshaw's analysis as both the largest exporter of frogs - 5,000 tonnes per year - and a major consumer.

Frogs are liquidised to make a "health drink" in parts of South America

This has raised concerns that it may soon experience the declines induced by hunting that have been seen elsewhere in the world, notably in France and the US, where species such as the Californian red-legged frog have crashed.

The researchers suggest that the amphibian trade may mimic the situation with global fisheries.

"Harvesting seems to be following the same pattern for frogs as with marine fisheries - initial local collapses in Europe and North America, followed by population declines in India and Bangladesh and now potentially in Indonesia," said Professor Bradshaw.

"Absence of essential data to monitor and manage the wild harvest is a large concern."

The researchers suggest establishing a certification scheme so exporters would have to prove that their animals had been hunted sustainably.

However, a large portion of the trade in amphibians for the pet trade is conducted illegally, and experts say customs officials in many countries are ill-equipped to spot and deal with illegal consignments.

FDA is lax on oversight during trials says New York Times

On Monday January 12, New York Times reported that the Food and Drug Administration does almost nothing to police the financial conflicts of doctors who conduct clinical trials of drugs and medical devices in human subjects. Moreover the agents said that trying to protect the public from such conflicts was not worth the effort.

So we now get an official description of the blatant corruption and the foundation of the drug creation and approval process.

This is very relevant for anybody taking medications. I once read a book that said that when Doctors go on strike, the death rate of the region lessens. Less drugs less problems!

That book is called CONFESSIONS OF A MEDICAL HERETIC and you should read it!

Namaste!
