Another Simple Food Weight Loss Experience

Whole Health Source reader Sarah Pugh recently went on a six-week simple food (low reward) diet to test its effectiveness as a weight loss strategy, and she was kind enough to describe her experience for me, and provide a link to her blog where she discussed it in more detail (1).

Consistent with the scientific literature and a number of previous reader anecdotes (2), Sarah experienced a reduction in appetite on the simple food diet, losing 15 pounds in 6 weeks without hunger. In contrast to her prior experiences with typical calorie restriction, her energy level and mood remained high over this period. Here's a quote from her blog:

Well, it looks like the theory that in the absence of nice palatable food, the body will turn quite readily to fat stores and start munching them up, is holding up. At the moment, the majority of the energy I use is coming from my insides, and my body is using it without such quibbles as the increased hunger, low energy, crappy thermo-regulation or bitchiness normally associated with severe calorie restriction.

I can't promise that everyone will experience results like this, but this is basically what the food reward hypothesis suggests should be possible, and it seems to work this way for many people. That's one of the reasons why this idea interests me so much.

Treat heart disease with the cancer drug

REJEKINE. Ingredient or component makers of epilepsy drugs and cancer based on the latest data also capable as a therapy to treat and cure heart disease. The cause of heart disease in general according to experts is the occurrence of blood clots forming in one of the veins that drain nutrients and oxygen to the heart. The body has natural defense system to prevent blood clots that fibrinolytic system, which squirts a special enzyme to clot in order not to block the vessel.

however, in order to function properly, the system should require the enzyme in sufficient quantities and will be stored in the walls of blood vessels. But often times the enzyme is often depleted or lost because of heredity and bad lifestyle, such as hypertension, smoking, and obesity, and it will be the cause of the increased risk of heart attack is greater.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have been looking for ways to stimulate the dissolution of the clot. The results were promising in the effort to find new ways to prevent heart attacks.

they say "We're trying to find drugs that can increase this enzyme so that it will help the body to prevent heart attacks," said Pia Larsson of the Sahlgrenska Academy that use HDAC inhibitors to stimulate the production of enzymes.

"We found that treatment with HDAC inhibitors dramatically increased the production of dissolving enzyme," Larsson said as quoted by sahlgrenska.gu.se when interviewing.

Flu and colds, similar but not identical

REJEKINE. Flu and colds have become a common disease in some people suffered especially during the rainy season or winter, but announcing to you whether there are similarities of these two diseases, it turns out the results of research there are differences between them so it might be in need of treatment and different ways also how to prevent it, Here is the difference between the two

Symptoms and causes of colds
causes that can cause symptoms of colds can be caused by 200 different viruses. It This is the reason or reasons why you can ward off or immune to the common cold because immunity to one type of virus will not protect you against other viruses

People with colds among children and adults are also different children are more susceptible to colds which could have served until 8 times between 4 attacks per year while the adults 2 to 4 times, so for children in need of more serious in the handling, treatment and prevention, In common colds will attack gradually and more extreme in the wet season

Common symptoms of colds usually are:
1. Runny nose or nasal congestion with mucus
2. Sneezing
3. Cough
4. Sore throat
However, people also may experience a mild fever (particularly children), fatigue, earaches, and headaches.

Symptoms and causes flu-
the cause of fewer flu virus that is only three main triggers. However the 3 virus is able to mutate into new viruses, so if you have the flu flu treatment completely food becomes very important to do in order to treat the flu virus can be permanently

Getting treatment is not serious flu can cause severe illness, especially in children, the elderly, and people with low immune systems. Flu symptoms usually develop much more quickly than a cold and can be more severe. Flu is going to improve after a week, but flu can make the patient still feels weak and tired.

In general, people with flu will experience the following symptoms:
1. Sudden onset of fever, body temperature exceeds 38 degrees celsius
2. Sudden dry cough
3. Headache
4. Fatigue
5. Cold
6. Pain in muscles and joints
7. Sore throat
8. Runny nose
9. Sneezing
10. Loss of appetite
11. Difficulty sleeping

With adequate rest flu and colds can be cured or by using hot-lowering drugs such as paracetamol

A Brief Response to Taubes's Food Reward Critique, and a Little Something Extra

It appears Gary Taubes has completed his series critiquing the food reward hypothesis of obesity (1). I have to hand it to him, it takes some cojones to critique the entire field of food reward research, particularly when you have no scientific background in it, and have evidently not read a single paper on food reward itself. As of 2012, a Google Scholar search for the terms “food reward” and “obesity” turned up 2,790 papers.

The food reward hypothesis of obesity states that the reward and palatability value of food influence body fatness, and excess reward/palatability can promote body fat accumulation. If we want to test the hypothesis, the most direct way is to find experiments in which 1) the nutritional qualities of the experimental diet groups are kept the same or at least very similar, 2) some aspect of diet reward/palatability differs, and 3) changes in body fat/weight are measured (for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). In these experiments the hypothesis has both arms and one leg tied behind its back, because the most potent reward factors (energy density, sugar, fat) have nutritional value and therefore experiments that modify these cannot be tightly controlled for nutritional differences. Yet even with this severe disadvantage, the hypothesis is consistently supported by the scientific evidence. Taubes repeatedly stated in his series that controlled studies like these have not been conducted, apparently basing this belief on a 22-year-old review paper by Dr. Israel Ramirez and colleagues that does not contain the word 'reward' (10).

Another way to test the hypothesis is to see if people with higher food reward sensitivity (due to genetics or other factors) tend to gain more fat over time (for example, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). In addition, studies that have examined the effect of palatability/reward on food intake in a controlled manner are relevant (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22), as are studies that have identified some of the mechanisms by which these effects occur (reviewed in 23). Even if not all of the studies are perfect, at some point, one has to acknowledge that there are a lot of mutually buttressing lines of evidence here. It is notable that virtually none of these studies appeared in Taubes's posts, and he appeared largely unaware of them.

Two Recent Papers by Matt Metzgar

This is just a quick post to highlight two recent papers by the economist and fellow health writer Matt Metzgar.

The first paper is titled "The Feasibility of a Paleolithic Diet for Low-income Consumers", and is co-authored by Dr. Todd C. Rideout, Maelan Fontes-Villalba, and Dr. Remko S. Kuipers (1).  They found that a Paleolithic-type diet that meets all micronutrient requirements except calcium (which probably has an unnecessarily high RDA) costs slightly more money than a non-Paleolithic diet that fulfills the same requirements, but both are possible on a tight budget. 

The second paper is titled "Externalities From Grain Consumption: a Survey", with Matt Metzgar as the sole author (2).  He reviews certain positive and negative externalities due to the effects of grain consumption on health.  The take-home message is that refined grains are unhealthy and therefore costly to society, whole grains are better, but grains in general have certain healthcare-related economic costs that are difficult to deny, such as celiac disease.

There are a lot of ideas floating around on the blogosphere, some good and others questionable.  Composing a manuscript and submitting it to a reputable scientific journal is a good way to demonstrate that your idea holds water, and it's also a good way to communicate it to the scientific community.  The peer review process isn't perfect but it does encourage scientific rigor.  I think Metzgar is a good example of someone who has successfully put his ideas through this process.  Pedro Bastos, who also spoke at the Ancestral Health Symposium, is another example (3).

Pelatih timnas sepak takraw putra Thailand, Kamol Tankimhong mengatakan, persiapan timnas mereka memang telah dilaksanakan secara matang. Bukan hanya pemusatan latihan, tetapi cabang olahraga itu secara rutin dilaksanakan kompetisi seperti liga sepak takraw di Thailand. Atlet-atlet sepak takraw diseleksi secara ketat, untuk kemudian latihan dan dilanjutkan mengikuti pertandingan, kata dia.

Menurut pelatih Timnas Thailand, kompetisi antar klub sepak takraw di Thailand juga menjadi ajang bagi mereka yang berbakat menunjukkan kemampuan mereka. "Kami secara rutin juga melaksanakan seleksi pemain untuk mendapatkan atlet berbakat dan siap membela negara," kata dia lagi. Dia menjelaskan, keberhasilan tim putra mendapat dua emas di nomor beregu dan tim sesuai dengan target.

Begitu juga, dengan keberhasilan tim putri meraih dua emas sampai hari ke-7 ini, Thailand berhasil menyumbangkan empat medali emas bagi negaranya, ujar dia. Sejak berlangsung pertandingan cabang olahraga sepak takraw, 12 November dan dijadwalkan berakhir 21 November, Indonesia berada di posisi kedua dengan menghimpun tiga perak dan satu perunggu.

Perak diraih oleh putra beregu dan tim, putri pun berhasil mendapatkan medali perak pada nomor tim, sedangkan nomor beregu hanya mampu meraih perunggu. Sedangkan, Myanmar pada nomor beregu berhasil mendapatkan perak, sementara Malaysia dan Laos serta Myanmar juga meraih perunggu.

Vaksin Anti Infeksi HIV-AIDS Akan di Produksi

Para ahli medis akhirnya menemukan vaksin Anti HIV-AIDS untuk pertama kalinya di dunia. Meski penemuan ini hanya percobaan, vaksin ini terbukti dapat mencegah infeksi virus HIV. Ini menandakan bahwa dunia kedokteran sudah memasuki era kemajuan yang baru.

Menurut Kolonel Jrome Kim dari Angkatan Darat Amerika Serikat (AS) yang telah mensponsori riset ini, inilah bukti pertama kali kami telah menciptakan vaksin yang efektif dan prefentif. Ini adalah jeri payah dan kerja keras kami selama ini

Hasil tersebut diperoleh setelah dilakukan sebuah percobaan dengan skala terbesar di dunia. Experiment ini dilakukan di Thailand dengan melibatkan 16 ribu sukarelawan dan 31% diantaranya mencegah penularan infeksi virus HIV. Hasilnya memang belum besar namum para ahli mendapatkan optimisme dalam memerangi AIDS

Kegembiraan ini juga dirasakan oleh kelompok riset lainya yaitu Vaccine Advocacy Coalition. Direktur Eksekutifnya Mitcell Warren menyatakan dunia kedokteran telah tonggak sejarah yang baru. Meskipun demikian masih banyak lagi yang harus dilakukan oleh para ahli untuk membuat sepenuhnya sukses

Meskipun majinnya kecil, vaksin ini memiliki dampak yang besar. AIDS merupakan salah satu masalah besar yang dihadapi dunia. Sekitar 7.500 angka orang setiap hari menjadi penderita baru. Suatu Organisasi UNAIDS memperkirakan sekitar 2 juta orang yang mati karena penyakit ini pada tahun 2007 lalu.

Riset yang dilakukan di Thailand ini sebenarnya pengujian dari dua kombo vaksin AIDS yaitu ALVAC dari Sanofi Pasteur dan AIDSVAX dari VaxGen  Inc. Obat pertama memberikan sistem imun terhadap serangan HIV dan yang kedua memberikan kekuatan terhadap respon dari obat yang pertama. Pengujian ini dilakukan sejak tahun 2003 tapi belum menunjukan hasil yang positif.

Riset ini melibatkan perempuan dan laki-laki berusian 18 hingga 30 tahun yang beresiko terkena infeksi HIV. Mereka dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, kelompok pertama diberi vaksin dan kelompok kedua tidak diberikan vaksin. Hasilnya infeksi baru terjadi pada 51 dari 8.197 yang disuntikan vaksin, dan 74 dari 8.198 yang diberikan suntikan palsu. Vaksin ini menurunkan resiko terkena HIV hingga 31%. Vaksin itu tidak sama sekali berpengaruh pada mereka yang terkena infeksi HIV, hal ini merupakan tujuan awal riset tersebut.

Riset ini menelan biaya US $105 juta , akan dipaparkan dihadapan ahli dokter di dunia lewat konferensi vaksi di Paris. Percobaan vaksin AIDS besar-besaran sebelumnya juga pernah dilakukan pada tahun 1983 lalu, dan riset kali ini merupakan yang ketiga, dan kabarnya akan disempurnakan dan akan diproduksi tahun 2012.

Mudah-mudahan ini akan membantu mengurangi angka penularan infeksi HIV

            <span class='label-count' dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>
          </b:if>
        </span>
      </b:loop>

2. Kemudian tambahkan code pembatas + &quot;?max-results=5&quot; 
3. Maka hasilnya akan terlihat seperti ini :

<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
        <span expr:class='&quot;label-size label-size-&quot; + data:label.cssSize'>
          <b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:label.url'>
            <span expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection'><data:label.name/></span>
          <b:else/>
            <a expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' expr:href='data:label.url + &quot;?max-results=5&quot;'><data:label.name/></a>
          </b:if>
          <b:if cond='data:showFreqNumbers'>
            <span class='label-count' dir='ltr'>(<data:label.count/>)</span>
          </b:if>
        </span>
      </b:loop>

4. Klik Save Template
5. Selesai

Bila sobat ingin membatasi jumlah postingan yang tampil pada label di kedua lokasi tersebut ( lihat contohnya disini ) sobat ikuti langkah-langkahnya dibawah ini :
1. Gunakan Tombol kombinasi Ctrl + F
2. Cari code dibawah ini :

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'>
        <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
          <data:postLabelsLabel/>
          <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
            <a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>,</b:if>
          </b:loop>
        </b:if>
      </span> </div>

3. Kemudian sobat tambahkan code pembatasnya + &quot;?max-results=5&quot;
4. Maka hasilnya akan terlihat seperti ini :

<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'>
        <b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
          <data:postLabelsLabel/>
          <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
            <a expr:href='data:label.url + &quot;?max-results=5&quot;' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>,</b:if>
          </b:loop>
        </b:if>
      </span> </div>

5. Klik tombol Save Template
6. Selesai

Selamat mencoba. Jangan lupa berikan komentar sobat disini.

Does High Circulating Insulin Drive Body Fat Accumulation? Answers from Genetically Modified Mice

The house mouse Mus musculus is an incredible research tool in the biomedical sciences, due to its ease of care and its ability to be genetically manipulated. Although mice aren't humans, they resemble us closely in many ways, including how insulin signaling works. Genetic manipulation of mice allows researchers to identify biological mechanisms and cause-effect relationships in a very precise manner. One way of doing this is to create "knockout" mice that lack a specific gene, in an attempt to determine that gene's importance in a particular process. Another way is to create transgenic mice that express a gene of interest, often modified in some way. A third method is to use an extraordinary (but now common) tool called "Cre-lox" recombination (1), which allows us to delete or add a single gene in a specific tissue or cell type.

Studying the relationship between obesity and insulin resistance is challenging, because the two typically travel together, confounding efforts to determine which is the cause and which is the effect of the other (or neither). Some have proposed the hypothesis that high levels of circulating insulin promote body fat accumulation*. To truly address this question, we need to consider targeted experiments that increase circulating insulin over long periods of time without altering a number of other factors throughout the body. This is where mice come in. Scientists are able to perform precise genetic interventions in mice that increase circulating insulin over a long period of time. These mice should gain fat mass if the hypothesis is correct.
