Artificial sweeteners - in or out!

• blood related cancers
• thyroid disease
• risk of brain tumors
• and much more.......

• drinks that are promoted as "Zero" or sugar free, they have the potential to alter brain chemistry in a disastrous way
• so called sugar free or "diabetic" sweets or preserves, just don't do it!
• protein supplements that contain aspartame, sucralose, or saccharine in its list of ingredients
• Corn Syrup or Fructose.

As an interesting related point, for many of us sugar cravings can be a direct symptom of a deficiency of the mineral Chromium and as a result supplementing with Chromium can eliminate "sugar cravings".

Little red spots/dots

I had a customer recently who asked me about small red spots that had recently "popped up' out of nowhere. What are they and why do they occur?
I suggested I would so a little research, I had my theories but wanted to see what was understood about these red dots/spots in the literature.

It seems they are known as Cherry Angioma: The term angioma describes harmless skin growths just below the actual superficial skin. As the name implies, they are cherry reddish in colour and customarily occur in us older adults. They’re harmless skin abnormal growths and hence men and women tend to disregard them.

There is very little known about the cause(s) of them, however I speculate (as do many other scientists and doctors, who are conducting research) that there is a direct connection with the presence of angioma and liver damage.

Generally they are tiny capillaries that break and it's just part of the natural aging process of our skin. If they are in large numbers and are bigger than 1mm and have halos around them then you should probably consult with your doctor. But if they aren't just relax, if we all took off to inspect our bodies thoroughly with a magnifying glass we would most likely find some.

Cherry angiomas are also known as Campbell De Morgan spots or Senile angiomas. They are the most common kind of angioma. They are called Campbell de Morgan spots after the nineteenth-century British surgeon Campbell De Morgan, who first noted and described them.

Upon looking into differing understandings of the cause for cherry angiomas there were a couple of articles that made the following suggestions.

The Real Cause?
According to the research conducted by Drs. A. D. Cohena, E. Cagnanob, and D. A. Vardya,Cherry angiomas are caused by bromine poisoning. Bromine?
It seems "Mysterious red moles" appeared on researchers' bodies after working for extended periods of time with brominated compounds.

Bromine is a halogen and is stored in the fat tissues. It has inhibitory effects on the central nervous system, and bromide salts were once a major medical sedative, before being replaced by shorter-acting drugs. They retain niche uses as anti-epileptics and is a known disruptor which prevents the absorption of iodine in the body. Iodine is of course a vital element, most well known for its important association with the Thyroid gland.

With the presence of the Bromine toxicity, the body attempts to move the toxin away from vital body organs storing it in fat tissues and in the skin where it resides as "red dots."

Bromine poisoning symptoms may be any or all of the following:

•     Twitching - eyelid or feet with tingling in hands or feet
•     Emotions may include gloom, depression, overly emotional, anxiety for no reason, irritability
•     Tongue or mouth sores, broken corner of mouth, odd swallowing sensation, or dry mouth
•     Body odor or foul urine smell
•     Brain fog and lethargy
•     Headache, sinus problems
•     Metallic taste in mouth or dry mouth
•     Aching hips or legs
•     Uretheral spasm causing frequent urination not related to an infection, kidney pain
•     Changes in vision
•     Constipation or diarrhea

Some products which contain bromine are:

•     Brominated flour also called "Enriched Flour"
•     Brominated vegetables
•     Asthma inhalers
•     New furniture, carpeting, bedding, cars
•     Fire retardants especially in children's clothing
•     Electronics
•     Toys
•     Cosmetics
•     Hair permanents and colouring

Additional products containing polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs)can be found at The Environmental Working Group.

And then Copper?
Another area of work shows theses red dots may be caused by high estrogen and high copper alongside a congested liver. The following is a quote from some of the research:
"since copper and estrogen levels rise and fall together and when your liver is congested with excess copper or other reasons like adrenal fatigue causing low ceruloplasmin, the liver cannot clear the excess estrogen and these angiomas form as a side effect. I started getting them 3 years ago, the same time as copper overload symptoms in retrospect."

"In Chinese medicine, the appearance of cherry angiomas, which appear as red spots on the abdomen and/or back is a sign of estrogen dominance. A handful aren’t an issue, however, a concentrated number of spots in a small area is of concern."
"Estrogen typically increases during pregnancy and/or when a person's liver is not functioning properly."

It seems I could keep digging, but my hunch is that there are a couple of main possibilities and when I had the chance to test the customer mentioned earlier, the remedy that tested beneficial for her was our real "natural vitamin C".

So whether it is Bromine or copper, the net result will be similar, and that is, the body will be depleted of Vitamin C, and when this happens there is a considerable chance that blood vessels - both veins and arteries - can become weakened.

Bioflavonoids, which occur with "ascorbic acid" in nature, is one of the most effective things we can include in our diet to strengthen the walls of our vascular system. If you bruise easily or have varicose veins, you probably need more bioflavonoids in your diet - and the description of the angioma - burst capillaries - is like a little aneurysm. Aneurysm's are more likely to occur when copper toxicity is in the picture as well, showing again the link to Vitamin C. The liver is implicated due to its role in cleaning the blood and if the Liver is slow in this process additional pressure will be put on our arterial walls. Is it starting to make sense?

If you have had an interesting experience or understanding of Cherry Angiomas? Share it with us so we can all learn more. If you suspect copper or bromine toxicity may be an issue for you, our suggestion is to have a full hair tissue mineral analysis done to determine levels and work out a programme to eliminate the problem.

In the mean time look after your liver and start on all the Vitamin C rich fresh foods that you can get your hands on.
