Healthy Coffee Anyone?

Healthy Coffee Anyone?
By Dr. Diane Spindler

We have all heard that coffee is bad for our health. What if I told you that coffee can be good for you? What If I told you about a Healthier coffee than commercially processed coffees, yet gives you all the rich flavor and even more energy than fully-caffeinated coffee? What if I told you that this coffee might actually improve your sleep, balance your pH, increase oxygen to your brain, help balance your weight, and boost your overall health so efficiently that you can feel the benefits almost immediately?

What if I told you that this is REAL coffee (not a coffee substitute) grown and processed organically without the use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones or artificial fertilizers? What if I told you that this coffee actually helps to remove toxins from your body, and with every cup you drink, you can feel better and realize increasing health benefits? And, what if this particular coffee tastes good, really good?

For the first time in America, there is a healthy coffee! I’m very pleased to tell you that there is a coffee (and a great tea and cocoa beverage) that the entire family can safely drink that is absolutely loaded with health-giving properties. These beverages are even good for children.

In fact, children who drink the zero caffeine chocolate beverage may be sleeping more soundly and focusing better in school. And, this gourmet product, grown and produced without chemicals and pesticides, is available to you for at, or below, market value, averaging $20.00 for 30 servings wholesale, and about $32 retail.

What makes this coffee healthy?

This particular brand of coffee, tea and delicious hot cocoa contains an incredible taste-free mushroom substance that, once added to the beverages, provides incredible health properties. This coffee is very low in acid and has a dramatically diminished caffeine effect. The mushroom in the coffee has been used medicinally in Asia for over 2,000 years. And, guess what? This mushroom substance, conveniently pre-mixed in great tasting coffee, has just become available in the United States. The name of the mushroom is Ganoderma lucidum.

What is Ganoderma?

Ganoderma lucidum is the scientific name

Gano Cafe

for a species of red mushroom that has been cultivated on plantations and grown wild in Asia for thousands of years. Ganoderma contains more than 200 active elements that are known to improve health. Here are a few that modern science is currently focusing on:

Polysaccharides

Why 8 -8oz glasses of water per Day

Dr. Chet says:

How Is 8 x 8 Justified?

Let’s get back to the original question of the eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Is it justified? Let's look at a basic physiology textbook, such as Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology (1). You find in a section in the chapter on fluid balance that they talk about how much water we lose every day under normal conditions:
  • Skin (not from sweat)--12 ounces
  • Lungs--12 ounces
  • Sweat--4 ounces (without exercise)
  • Feces--4 ounces
  • Urine--48 ounces
  • Total: 80 ounces per day. And remember, that’s without sweating due to exercise or high heat and humidity.
The recommended 8 x 8 would provide 64 ounces, and that means we would be 16 ounces short based on typical fluid loss, even before your daily exercise routine. That’s why eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid per day is still a good idea. Notice I said fluid. Tea, coffee, sports and energy drinks, soft drinks, juice--all fluids count toward that total.

There’s one more thing that you’ll probably read somewhere and that’s the water in fruits and vegetables counts toward that total. I agree, but most of us eat only three or four servings of fruits and vegetables per day, if that. Let’s say you start your day with an orange; that’s four ounces of fluid. Later, with your dinner, you have a medium baked potato along with a cup of broccoli; that would add four ounces and three ounces respectively. Then let’s say you top it off with a banana--another three ounces. From the foods you ate, you got 14 ounces of water--you still need another 66 ounces. And that’s why eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid per day is still a good idea. Now you know why. Bottoms up!

Eat for Younger - Looking Skin

Great News - An orange a day may keep fine lines and flaky skin at bay, found a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researches discovered that women over 40 and older who had greater amounts of C were 11% less likely to develop wrinkles. "Vitamin C boosts collagen production, which keeps skin firm," says lead researcher Maeve Cosgrove, PhD. a nutritional epidemiologist. To ward off wrinkles, consume the RDA of 75 mg - the amount found in a grapefruit.Information from Prevention Magazine pg 96 march 2008.

Alternative to Organic Shop locally at a CSA farm

Certified Naturally Grown as an alternative to Certified Organic
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) producers use only natural sustainable methods in growing produce and raising animals. This organization is run by framers and does not have the high fees or other items that raise the costs of products. There fields have been in hay for some time with no chemicals or pesticides used on them. The poultry is pasture fed with no hormones or antibiotics.
"Farming cannot take place except in Nature, therefore, if Nature does not thrive, farming cannot thrive. But we know too that Nature includes us. It is not a place into which we can reach from some safe standpoint outside it. We are in it and are a part of it while we use it. If it does not thrive, we cannot thrive. The appropriate measure of farming then is the world's health and our health and it is inescapably one measure." Wendell Berry
Support your community (local producers) and the environment (uses less gasoline to get good food on your table) by buying locally. Become a LOCAVORE.
Here is a link to a local CSA farm in Lower central Michigan. It is called TwoCreeks Farm

Advanced Scientific Health (ASH) is a membership organization dedicated to the education and implementation of the ever expanding orthomolecular health knowledge base founded on research and discoveries of nobel prize winning doctors and scientists.
In 1997, at the age of 53, land developer Barney Folger of Marietta, Georgia, was being scheduled for his fourth heart surgery since being diagnosed with heart disease in 1990.
To fully understand what was going through Barney's mind after being told by his cardiologists that they needed to operate on his heart again, one must appreciate the months of agony associated with post-operative recovery. Rather than endure another heart surgery, Barney put his clothes back on and went home. The last words from his cardiologists after he fired them and walked out the door was, "You could die, Barney."
Through his research he discovered the works of Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel Laureate Otto Warburg, Dr. Keith Brewer and others. Their common thread was "Orthomolecular" medicine which is the study of health through nutrition at the cellular level. Orthomolecular protocol could be described as giving back to the body that with which it was born and the body will heal itself. Through that knowledge he found the cure for his hearth disease.
Barney is more alive than ever and desires to share his life changing discoveries with others. He founded Advanced Scientific Health (ASH) in October 2002 to do just that. ASH Members reside in every state in the United States and many other countries. All ASH Members are themselves researchers. ASH Members share their research so that more lives can be saved. Through the study and implementation of "Orthomolecular" science, diseases such as Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, to the common cold can be prevented simply by giving the body the nutrients it need.

Advantages of Organic Produce

A short article in the June 2008 Prevention Magazine (pg 79) stated that the percentage increase of antioxidant activity conventional apples increased from 9 to 34 percent for organic apples. WOW!!! How can you find organic produce to take advantage of this increase. When you shop the produce section of your grocery store look for the sticker that id's the item. If it has a four digit number it is conventional, HOWEVER if the number starts with a 9 and is 5 digits long it’s Organic, Check to see if you can find items starting with 9 that are your favorites. The local stores here in lower central Michigan are carrying several items of produce. Ask the produce manger for help if you can not find them. They are very willing to help and will order if enough requests are received.
