Iodine Deficiency

The dangerous epidemic of iodine deficiency continues, says David Brownstein, MD.

I have been practicing medicine for over 20 years. During this time, I have seen an astounding rise in the use of prescription drugs and vaccines—both of which have failed to halt the escalation of chronic illnesses that are plaguing the U.S. population. Here is a list of some of the illnesses that are increasing at epidemic rates: ADHD, autism, autoimmune thyroid disorders including Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease, as well as cancer of the breast, ovary, uterus, and thyroid. In fact, one in seven women in the U.S. are suffering from breast cancer while one in three men have prostate cancer. What does each of these conditions have in common? The answer is easy; each of these conditions can be caused by iodine deficiency. Read more

Christina Sarich reveals five foods you should be eating to protect your brain as it ages.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are the building blocks of a well functioning brain.

Is Fruit Juice Bad for Your Health?

Fruit juice is so high in fructose, says Ben Wilson, that it’s worse than soda.

Juice exudes health and vitality. It is officially one of your 'five-a-day'. It's what they sell in juice bars, those yogafied temples of wheatgrass.

But fruit juice is also, according to the American obesity expert Robert Lustig, basically just sugar and is therefore, in his view, a 'poison'. Lustig is the author of Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth about Sugar (4th Estate, £13.99), published earlier this year. He sees sugar as the major culprit in the obesity crisis. Not so surprising, except for his shock revelation that the worst sugars may be those that appear the healthiest. 'Calorie for calorie, 100 per cent orange juice is worse for you' than sugary sodas, Lustig says. Read more

5) Calcium and magnesium-rich foods

Calcium and magnesium promote sleep. Eat a snack before bed that's high in calcium and magnesium, such as whole grain crackers with cheese, warm milk, yogurt, kefir, almonds, sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, or cashews, and black strap molasses. Sleep better after a green smoothie including kale, collards or dandelion greens with yogurt and honey for a cooling bedtime snack during summer.

Exercise for Longer Erections

When people talk about penis size, they almost always talk in terms of length even though girth has more to do with sexully satisfying a woman than length does. Length makes a penis more impressive, however, and a visual turn-on is also an important part of the sexual equation. Jelqing is the best known penis enlargement exercise. Jelqing increases overall size, both length and girth. To focus on length specifically, other exercises work better.

Stretches can be be used to lengthen your penis. These are not thickness methods. Stretches work on the supporting ligamnets to the penis. You will do stretches while your penis is flaccid although you can do them with a semi-erection - no more than 30 percent erect.

Stretch #1

While sitting down, grab your penis behind the head and pull firmly, but slowly, down and forward. Once you have pulled it as far as possible without pain, hold that level of tension for 10-15 seconds. That is one repetition.

Stretch #2

This stretch also stretches the supporting ligaments, but down and to the left and right sides. It is also done faster. Pull down to the right, hold for 1-2 seconds, and then immediately pull down to the left and hold for 1-2 seconds. Pull firmly so that you can feel the stretch in the supporting ligaments, but do not yank your penis. Pull firmly, but in a controlled manner.

You can do stretches in the same session as other penis enlargement exercises, such as jelqing and squeezes. It's a good practice to do a hot wrap before an penis enlargement exercise session to loosen up your ligaments and tissues. A hot wrap afterwards also helps your penis recover from the exercises.

Get semi-erect. Then make an OK sign ring around the middle to upper third of the shaft of your penis. Tighten that ring and hold it for 10-15 seconds. The head of your penis should massively swell and look like a mushroom.
