“I have found serrapeptase to be an extraordinary substance for safely removing fibrous
blockages from coronary arteries, particularly the carotid arteries found in the neck, which supply blood brain. For our health purposes, Serrapeptase dissolves only dead tissues such as the old
fibrous layers that clog the lining of our artieries and dangerously restrict flow of blood and oxygen
to the brain. Because of this, Serrapeptase is extremely useful in keeping arterial deposits from
building up again after angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery has been performed.”
DR H A Nieper, Head Dept of Medicine, Paracelcus Klink, Germany; inventor of serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is a natural enzyme produced by the
Serratia bacteria living in silk worms. Once the silk
worm has completed its transformation it uses the
enzyme to dissolve the coccon and escape as a butterfly. The enzyme dissolves the dead tissue around
the butterfly, but leaves it unharmed.
Serrapeptase from MedB contains high quality
enteric coated capsules.
Dr Nieper a german oncologist and medical
doctor discovered and studied the cardiovascular
and blood cleansing properties of serrapeptase, and
found it very effective for cleaning out the blood
vessels and organs where fibrous tissue has accumulated.

Current medical research has identified
inflammation as the underlying cause of most
chronic diseases, including heart attack and stroke.
Inflammation leads to a build-up of fibrous tissue

Depression: What You Should Know
D
epression is more than just a feeling of sadness. It is a serious medical condition
that manifests itself in different ways. The elderly man by the corner looking sad
and lonely may actually be in a happier state than the woman striding along with a
beautiful smile. Depression affects men and women of all ages, but it is most common in
women between the ages of 18 and 40.
Grief and Depression
There is a need to make a distinction between grief and depression. Grief is a natural and normal process that
happens when we lose someone close to us. Grief can last for several months or even years but gradually and
eventually the sufferer comes out of it. In rare occasions, grief can turn to depression.
Depression on the other hand is very different. It’s a feeling people have of being unable to cope with everyday
living. For people suffering from depression, the process of living becomes increasingly difficult, and they stop
getting any pleasures from life.
What Causes Depression?
Depression has been linked to a number of factors. Studies have shown that some people are more prone to
depression than others and people with a pessimistic outlook to life are more likely to suffer from
depression than people with a more positive outlook. Depression is also seen in those with a reduced tolerance
to stressful situations such as the loss of a loved one or a job. Stress has a direct connection to depression,
with long-term stress known to trigger depression. Nevertheless, depression is typically associated with
medical disorders.
Symptoms of Depression
The symptoms of depression are varied and can either be psychological or physical. The psychological
symptoms are those that affect the mind and include; loss of interest in everyday life, low mood with crying
and sadness, feelings of helplessness, and loss of self-esteem and confidence. When depression occurs with
physical symptoms, it may be difficult to tell it apart from other diseases. Some of the physical symptoms of
depression are headaches and migraines, abdominal discomfort, tiredness, loss of appetite, anxiety, joint
pains and weight gain.
What causes depression?
Modern medicine views depression as a disorder arising from an imbalance of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) responsible for transmitting messages across brain cells. Scientific studies have shown that people with
depression typically have low or inadequate amounts of certain neurotransmitters such as
serotonin. Some of the most commonly prescribed antidepressant drugs work by tricking the brain into
believing it has more serotonin than it actually does.
Your brain requires over 100 different neurotransmitters to function properly. These neurotransmitters or brain chemicals can be split into 2 main groups - inhibitory and excitatory. Inhibitory
4 www.medb.es
Mebmag-vol5.indd 4
14/06/2015 21:43:17
neurotransmitters calms and relaxes the brain, with
serotonin being a typical example. Excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate on the
other hand, stimulates the brain and can very
quickly deplete brain stores of inhibitory chemicals
required to keep the brain in balance. Some brain
diseases have been linked to abnormal levels of neurotransmitters and include; bipolar, schizophrenia
and Parkinson’s disease.
Serotonin plays a vital role in the brain, but it cannot
be produced directly in the body instead it is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan. Amino
acids are the building blocks of proteins which are
necessary for repairing and maintaining the body.
When water and fat are taken out of the body, 75%
of what’s left is protein. The body requires 22
different amino acids on a daily basis to
function at an optimal level. The absence of tryptophan in the diet has been linked to depression, and
although tryptophan is found in a variety of foods,
many people are deficient due to poor intestinal
absorption caused by digestive diseases.
Why Depression affects more women than men
The higher incidence of depression seen in women
than in men is strongly associated with hormonal
diseases seen more commonly in women. The diagnostic scans from MedB clinic shows that most
women who complain of symptoms usually
associated with depression have inflammatory
or degenerative problems of the hormonal
system. The physiology of women is intricately
linked to the hormonal system and abnormal hormone levels in women are also associated with a
number of chronic diseases from cardiovascular
diseases to joint pains.
Low Cholesterol levels and depression
All hormones in the body are produced directly from
cholesterol. Low levels of cholesterol is associated
with low levels of hormones and depression. Drugs
such as statins that are prescribed to lower
cholesterol are strongly associated with depresion.
The ever rising prescription rate of cholesterol
lowering drugs are directly connected to the growing
cases of depression seen in older women today.
Recent studies show that women with cholesterol levels higher than 270 mg/dl or 7 mmols/L
are healthier and live longer than women with
cholesterol levels lower than 180 mg /dl or 4.5
mmols/l. The current medical practice of using the
same cholesterol monitoring scale for men and women is clearly in need of a review.
Your upbringing, belief system, cultural approach to
Mebmag-vol5.indd 5
problem solving and mental attitude to life will play a
strong role in determining how you are affected, and
how you will cope with depression. Like asthma or arthritis, depression affects people differently and some
people are affected more than others, but understanding why depression occurs, puts us in a better position
to prevent it.
What you can do to prevent and treat
depression
The main step in dealing with any problem or illness
is to accept that the problem exists, and then identify
its likely causes, before finding a solution. This can be
quite difficult when dealing with depression as it may
require asking yourself questions you’d rather avoid.
Going deep inside yourself to resolve issues is a necessary step in dealing with depression. But sometimes it
may be difficult to put a finger on the cause of depression especially when it is due to hormonal or chemical
imbalances in the body.
Scientific studies have associated deficiency of nutrients such as tryptophan with depression. The body
converts tryptophan into serotonin, a brain chemical
necessary for preventing depression.
People taking a class of antidepressants called
SSRI’s (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors)
www.medb.es 5
14/06/2015 21:43:21
such as prozac, should never take tryptophan at the same time. Tryptophan is one of 22 amino acids
essential for producing thousands of chemicals, enzymes and other proteins in the body. No single food contains all 22 amino acid. Only the chicken egg comes close to containing all 22 amino acids.
While serotonin may have an important role to play in preventing depression, there are also a number of other chemicals that are equally important for maintaining brain function. A few of these include GABA (gamma amyl butyric acid), dopamine, acetylcholine and neuropeptides. For this reason, what´s important is to
encourage the body to produce the necessary brain chemicals from raw materials, rather than replacing only
serotonin. This can only be acheived when the body is provided with all 22 essential amino acids.
A well balanced diet containing good sources of plant or animal proteins, fresh vegetables and
fruits, healthy fats and oils, will ensure the body receives all 22 essential amino acids. But even
as we strive to maintain a healthy daily diet, our bodies may still be lacking in essential amino acids due to
chronic digestive problems that cause inadequate assimilation and absorption of nutrients.
YTE or Young Tissue Extract is a complete source of all 22 amino acids. YTE contains the extracts of 9 day old
fertilized chicken eggs and studies dating back nearly 100 years as well as more recent studies have shown
that fertilized chicken eggs is effective for treating all types of depression.
In addition to containing essential amino acids, YTE also contain peptides, polypeptides and a host of other
chemicals necessary for regenerating and maintaining the brain and nervous system. Tryptophan alone can
be used for treating mild depression, but people suffering from chronic depression lasting many
years should consider using YTE so as to produce a wider range of brain chemicals.
Treating depression with amino acids has tremendous benefits over treating depression with prescription
drugs. Antidepressant medications such as Prozac trick the brain into thinking it has more serotonin than it
does, and the trick lasts until serotonin stores in the body drys up and the medications stop working. Antidepressant medications are also highly addictive and associated with severe unpleasant side effects such as
suicidal thoughts.
Besides amino acids, the brain also requires a healthy dose of Vitamins especially B complex vitamins, minerals such as lithium as well as a healthy diet and regular exercises.

P
robiotics are typically known for
keeping our gut healthy and running smoothly, but there is growing scientific evidence showing that
probiotics are useful for maintaining a
healthy nervous system and sense of
well-being.
Probiotics are ‘friendly’ bacteria found in
the intestines, urinary and vaginal tract and
ear canal. Our intestines contain around
11 trillion microbes weighing over 1.5 kg,
and in a healthy gut, around 70% of these
microbes will be beneficial probiotics and
the remaining 30% accounting for harmful
microbes. Over 100 different types of probiotics exist in our gut, and their main function is to control the levels of opportunistic
deadly microbes such as E.coli, Staphylo-
How Probiotics Prevent Depression
coccus and Streptococcus. By counteracting
harmful bacteria, probiotics prevent them
from producing poisonous neurotoxins that
damage the nervous system of the
intestines and brain.
Harmful microbes also produce toxins that
cause chronic inflammatory diseases of the
intestines such as irritable bowel syndrome,
diverticulitis and food intolerance. Inflammation of the intestines will prevent proper
absorption of vital nutrients such as amino
acids. Amino acids are necessary for producing neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) like
serotonin and dopamine that help prevent
depression. Probiotics secrete a membrane
that lines the intestines and prevent leaking
of undigested foods and toxic chemicals into
the body and when this occurs, it is known
as ´leaky gut syndrome´. Leaky gut syndrome is strongly associated with depression and mood disorders.
Probiotics also produce several important
brain chemicals or neurotransmitters like
serotonin, GABA and dopamine. Serotonin
is regarded as the ‘feel good hormone’ be-
cause it plays a key role in maintaining our
well-being. Low levels of serotonin in
the body is linked to depression.
Probiotics are easily destroyed by prescription antibiotics, and so it makes sense to
take probiotics supplements together with
prescription antibiotics. Good food sources
of dietary probiotics include yogurt, kefir,
and sauerkraut.
The Brain in your Gut
Ever wondered why you have ´gut feelings?
The gut has a mind of its own. And just like the
brain, researchers have discovered that the gut
sends and receives impulses, records our experiences and responds to emotions. The ´gut brain´
is independent of the brain, and can act, learn and
remember on its own. The gut contains more than
500 million nerve cells, more than in the spinal
cord, and produces many neurotransmitters,
including dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate and
90% of all serotonin in the body.

robiotics are beneficial bacteria in our gut that
help keep your digestive system running
smoothly. Because 70% of immune cells are found
in the digestive system, probiotics help maintain a
healthy immune system.
The microbes in your gut play a key role in nutrition and health.
These microbes exist in a delicate balance and are affected by many
different factors including: diet, medications, stress, age, and general
living conditions.
Clinical studies have shown that probiotics through the digestive
tract powerfully shapes our immune function. Multiple studies have
indicated that multi-strain probiotic blends with lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and streptococcus can provide optimal support for a diverse
range of health needs.
Multiprobitotics contain a range of specialized probiotics such as
Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 that has been clinically shown in research to support the immune system.
Multiprobiotics also contain prebiotics - compounds that influence
the gut to allow probiotics to flourish.

Are Cholesterol Lowering Drugs Causing
Your Hormonal Problems?
D
rugs such as statins that are used to lower cholesterol, are the most prescribed
drugs in the world. Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is not a killer, rather it
plays a key role in human survival. For starters over 70% of all cholesterol in the
body is produced inside the body and only 30% comes from our diet. The huge amount
of energy the body expends to produce cholesterol is a reflection of its importance in the
body.
More than half the dry weight of the brain is made of cholesterol. Our nerves are protected by a membrane, myelin sheath, mostly made of cholesterol. Moreover, every cell in the
body is protected by a barrier that is mostly composed of
cholesterol. Cholesterol is a necessary ingredient in
the production of many important chemicals in the
body including bile salts, vitamin D, and most importantly all hormones in the body.
Invariably, any factor that blocks the production of
cholesterol in the body, will also affect the body´s capacity
to produce hormones. Hormones have a powerful influence on the physiology of women, who seem to suffer
more than men from the effects of low cholesterol. Scientific studies have shown that women are healthier and live
longer when they have higher than ´normal´ blood range
of cholesterol. Cholesterol lowering medications such as
statins have been blamed for the increasing incidence of
hormonal disorders and depression especially in women.
Cholesterol is falsely blamed for causing the damage to
arteries that eventually lead to heart and brain diseases, however scientific research has clearly
shown that the underlying cause of heart and brain diseases is inflammation.
And the main cause of this inflammation are toxins known as free radicals. When these
toxic free radicals trigger inflammation, platelets or clotting cells migrate to the site of
injury and continue to build-up and eventually will attract some cholesterol and other
proteins in an attempt to mend the injury. This eventually leads to the formation of plaque
that is capable of blocking arteries.
Abnormally high cholesterol is only found in a tiny proportion of people, and even then
researchers argue that there are ´no known records of death caused by high cholesterol´.
When cholesterol levels are low, the body struggles to produce sufficient quantities of
hormones that are vital for our survival.
The observation at MedB clinic is that women who have been on statins for over 3 years
usually show signs of inflammation in their hormonal organs and system. If you must take
statins, consider taking some of the natural remedies such as policosanol and
nicotinamide.

Why Your Genes Don´t Determine Your Life:
the new science of epigenetics
L
ike most people, you probably believe
that the outcome of your life is determined by your genes, a point of view
supported by the mainstream science of the
day. The assumption is that the genes you
inherit from your parents, will control all
aspects of your life, from the foods you like
to the diseases you suffer from, and there is
nothing you can do to change the situation.
In other words, we are victims of our genes.
But is this really the case?
The first major upset to the gene theory came soon
after the findings of the human genome project
were revealed. The human genome project started
in the early 1990s, with the aim of mapping out all
the genes in the human body. Genes are the units of
inheritance that pass on from parents to offspring.
The genome project was hailed as one of the greatest
feat of exploration in history, but on completion in
2003, its results were very disappointing to many
scientists and coorporations. Prior to the project,
scientists believed that the body contained at least
100,000 genes with the expectation that individual
genes would code a particular disease, or a particular human trait such as eye colour. But shockingly,
the project revealed that human beings have under
20,000 genes. In comparism, the nematode worm
contains 31,000 genes. The human genome project
clearly demonstrated that genes do not have such a
firm grip on our lives.
that the belief that we are victims of our genes is
dead wrong. The fact is that our inherited genes gets
switched on and off by our environment, and most
of this switching occurs in the womb before we are
born. Dr Lipton considers genes to be the blueprint
of life.
The extent that we contract and suffer from disease
is determined by the constitution of blood and fluids
that surround our cells. The human body is not a
single organism, but rather a collection of over 100
billion cells and each single cell is a unique entity
capable of performing all the functions of the body
–respiration, digestion etc. We become prone to
disease when the internal environment of our cells is
compromised, especially by toxic substances.
According to Dr Bruce Lipton, the subconscious
mind is also a powerful determinant in the expressions of genes. Our beliefs are controlled by the
subconscious mind - a hidden and unconscious part
of the mind. The ´placebo effect´ ( when people experience medical healing from a sugar pill) and hypnotism work through the subconscious mind. Believing
that nothing can be done about your illness will send
messages to your brain to create the environment
that will reinforce that belief. Our belief systems
are very difficult to change nevertheless, becoming
aware of the messages you send to your body is a
step forward in taking back control of your life.
But the findings of the human genome project
didn´t come as a surprise to renowned scientist and
geneticist, Dr Bruce Lipton. In the 1960s Dr Bruce
Lipton performed ground breaking experiments
with stem cells - mother cells capable of dividing into
genetically identical cells. Through his experiments
he was able to show that genetically identical cells
transformed into different tissues when exposed to
different environments. From his experiments Dr
Lipton came to the conclusion that our genes
do not control or determine our reality, rather
our environment controls the expression of our
genes. The term epigenetics has since been coined
to reflect this new science. Epigenetics simply means
control above the level of our genes.
So what does it mean that our environment controls
the expression of our genes? For a start it means

A Safe Way to Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Policosanol is an extract of cane sugar that is useful for supporting healthy cholesterol levels, without
the side-effects associated with statins. Policosanol lowers triglycerides and LDL and increases HDL.
Policosanol also protects the heart against diseases by reducing inflammation caused by damaged fats.
In a study comparing the cholesterol lowering potential of policosanol and the statin drug atorvastatin,
2 groups of patients were both prescribed a daily dose of 10 mg of policosanol and 10 mgs of atorvastatin for 8 weeks. At the end of the study, several factors including cholesterol levels were examined.
While 3 of the participants taking the statin withdrew from the trial due to adverse side effects such as
muscle pain and abdominal upsets, no one taking policosanol reported any unpleasant reactions.
Atorvastatin also increased blood levels of creatinine phosphokinase, a blood marker indicating damage to the kidneys, muscle or heart. Both policosanol and Atorvastatin lowered LDL and Triglycerides,
but policosanol increased levels of HDL (good cholesterol) significantly.

Relieve Joint and Muscle Aches and Pain with MSM
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is the most vital nutrient required by the body to build
and maintain strong and healthy joints and bones. MSM occurs naturally in the body,
and is used to make collagen- an important component of our bones, joints, skin and
hair. More so than calcium your body needs MSM to build bones, joints, skin and hair.
For this reason MSM has been called the ´beauty mineral´
MSM is a powerful painkiller and anti-inflammatory agent and studies have shown that
MSM is more effective than prescription medications for treating Rheumatodid arthritis,
osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, muscle cramp, neck pain and back pain.

How Infections
Trigger Sudden
Asthma Attacks
P
eople suffering from asthma may
wonder how they can go from
breathing freely one day to breathlessness the next without any warning
signs. This sudden change is usually
caused by a chest infection. On appearance, asthma seems to be a disease of the
respiratory system, but in reality asthma
is a disease of the immune system.
Asthma occurs when the immune system develops
a hypersensitivity to everyday chemicals,
allergens and toxins found in our environment.
While someone without asthma will have a cough
when exposed to an allergen, an asthmatic may suffer a full blown asthma attack. The immune system
keeps track of every compound in the body, and
when exposed to foreign compounds, it triggers
symptoms such as itchiness, coughing and sneezing which alerts us to move away from the source
of danger. In asthmatics, the symptoms produced
when the body becomes exposed to foreign compounds are more intense than in normal people
and rather than sneezing and coughing, there is
wheezing and breathlessness.
for the sudden worsening of breathing seen in
people suffering from asthma.
It is important for asthmatics to do all they can to
maintain a healthy immune system, especially in the
winter season. A powerful way to boost the immune
system is with Colostrum. Colostrum is the name
given to the first milk of mammalian animals, produced a few hours after the birth of their young. This
milk is very different from normal milk, and contains
antibodies, enzymes and proteins that enhance the
immune system.
Moreover, people with asthma should always have
handy a natural antibiotic such as colloidal silver
which they should start taking as soon as a sudden
deterioration in breathing is noticed. Colloidal silver
is also a powerful antiviral agent, and effective against
flus and colds that also cause sudden asthma attacks.
This exaggerated sensitivity to allergens in asthma
causes chronic inflammation of the lungs which
produces thick mucus that block the breathing
tubes and restricts airflow into the lungs. The
hypersensitive nature of the immune system in
asthmatics means that it is constantly at work and
very easily becomes overwhelmed and weak. Without a healthy immune system, asthmatics struggle
to fight off opportunistic microbes in the environment that cause chest infections. Furthermore, the
excess mucus produced in the lungs acts as a ´soup´
and encourages the growth of microbes that
increase the chances of chest infections occuring.
Chest infections are the most likely reason

Interview with
Michael Hayward
CEO optimized Energetics
Dr Machi: Hello Michael, it’s a pleasure to have you.
Please give us a brief history of your business
optimised energetics, and how you started manufacturing colloidal silver?
Michael: Thank you Machi. Our business is a family business that started four years ago. In 2006 my
wife Shelly collapsed in our home on my son’s 4th
birthday. I rushed her to hospital and after several
days of tests she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
She had successful surgery with follow-up radiotherapy; however the latter created complications
that continued for two years. During this time I
became interested in particular with aftercare and
in alternative therapies and modalities. Although we
researched and tried out lots of different treatments,
there is no substitute for a healthy diet, some gentle
exercise and the love of your family and friends. As
soon as Shelley started to take control of her illness
things began to change dramatically for the better.
It was during this time that we came across Colloidal Silver. We became fascinated by its wide range
of uses and bought a small generator and started to
experiment with it. This led to the establishment of
the Optimised Energetics and our first line of silver
solutions and the formulation of our range of gels.
Dr Machi: We find your colloidal silver very effective
against deadly microbes, especially viruses such as
herpes and papilloma. What processes do you have
in place to maintain consistent quality?
Michael: First of all it starts with the water we use,
most other manufacturers use >2ppm ( parts per
million) distilled water. This means that in a 10ppm
silver solution there is only 8ppm of silver ions and
2ppm of total dissolved solids are present. We use
only 0 ppm water from an 8 stage RO filter system
with DI polishers so this means in a 10ppm solution
it contains 10ppm of silver ions. We believe that we
are using the best generators that money can buy.
Our generators have glass vessels (glass is best) that
are sealed during electrolysis thus reducing the risk
of contamination by dust particles and other foreign
bodies. We also use very thick 99.999% pure silver
electrodes. During the process silver oxide builds up
on the electrodes and the thicker rods reduce the
risk of this releasing into the solution. The solution
is also stirred magnetically throughout the process
Mebmag-vol5.indd 13
so that there is always an even spread of silver ions.
Lastly we batch and bottle into amber glass the same
day so that the ions do not get a chance to settle and
create an uneven solution.
Dr Machi: We have over 90% success rate treating
all kinds of microbes with colloidal silver. Have you
had similar experiences from your clients?
Michael: Wow, you are getting fantastic results, how
gratifying. This is a big question to answer. We have
over 200 five star reviews on Amazon alone over the
past three years or so. This covers a wide range of
ailments, skin conditions including mundane issues
such as the common cold.
Dr Machi: You’ve recently moved into a new location. Are you finding that more people are becoming
aware of and using colloidal silver for therapy?
Michael: Research shows that natural medicine
is growing at over 20% per annum. Amazon tells
us that this area including vitamin supplements is
growing over 100% a year for them. So it is clear that
more and more people are doing their own research
and making up their own minds about their health.
Colloidal silver is becoming more and more understood as an option now and our results speak for
themselves.
Our new premises will allow us to dramatically increase our manufacturing output. We will be producing more topical products such as lotions and soaps
in the coming months. Word-of-mouth is the best
marketing tool we could have. The more people that
try, the more recommendations we get. Our customers are very loyal this can only be because they are
discovering for themselves how effective Colloidal
Silver Products can be.
Thank you Machi.

Colloidal Silver: The Universal
Antibiotic
S
ilver has been used for thousands of
years as an antibiotic. Ancient cultures
used silver pots to store water, with
the knowledge that it will protect them
against diseases. Silver dressings and products
are currently used in specialist hospitals to
speed-up the healing of wounds. The international Space station and the Russian Space station use colloidal silver to purify water. Most
recently, silver has been recommended for use
in surgical instruments and silver coated catheters, to prevent MRSA infections. .
Colloidal Silver was recognised as a powerful
antibiotic as soon as it was first discovered by
Dr Silver in 1906, but it fell out of favour decades later, when antibiotics became available.
And today, with the rise of antibiotic resistant
microbes, colloidal silver is making a comeback as the preferred antibiotic of choice for a
variety of infectious diseases.
In the 1980s, studies carried out at the
Syracuse University and the UCLA School
of medicine showed that colloidal silver
was highly effective against bacteria,
viruses, and fungal microbes, including
those that had become resistant to antibiotics. Recently studies at the University
of Texas suggested that colloidal silver
may be effective against HIV-1 virus.
Colloidal silver has absolutely no side effects.
The particles of silver in colloidal silver are
extremely tiny, making it impossible for any
form of toxicity to occur in the body. The
cosmetic side effect of argyria (greying of the
skin) is only seen when people consume silver
salts and solutions that are not fit for human
consumption
Several scientific studies have demonstrated
that colloidal silver is a powerful antibiotic.

Are Microbes
Behind Your
Skin Problems?
U
ndoubtedly, your skin plays a huge role in your physical and emotional health. In all
cultures and over the ages, clear skin has been associated with health and beauty.
The skin is the largest single organ of the body, and plays an important role in keeping us healthy. To begin with, the skin acts as a protective cover and a barrier between us
and our sometimes harsh environment.
Since the skin is our first line of defence against harmful toxins and microbes in the environment, it is constantly exposed to danger. Nevertheless, the skin has an effective immune system to help it cope with environmental dangers.
Medical studies show that a low or dysfunctional immune system is a major cause of skin
disorders such as allergies, pigmentation problems as well as skin cancer. The immune
system is well-known for protecting the body against infections from harmful microbes
such as viruses, bacteria and fungus, but the immune system also plays a part in preventing allergic reactions caused by environmental toxins.
The diagnostic scans carried out at Medb clinic reveals that people with different types of
skin problems including discolorations, psoriasis, eczema, skin formations and skin patches, have active microorganisms especially herpes virus and papilloma viruses. These viruses
usually lie dormant in the skin and surrounding organs waiting for the immune system to
become dysfunctional before they are activated. Unfortunately, skin problems are typically
treated with steroid creams that are well known to depress the immune system.
Unsurprisingly the conventional treatment for skin problems usually ends up worsening
the problem.
Sometimes skin problems have to be treated from inside out before they can be sufficiently
managed and improving the immune system may be the required course of action in order
to resolve ths skin problem.
Colloidal silver is a powerful broad spectrum natural antibiotic, effective against viruses,
bacteria and fungus, without causing side effects. Colloid silver can also be applied directly
to the skin. Another benefit of colloidal silver is that it speeds up the healing of external
wounds on the skin. Keeping good personal hygiene is equally important in treating skin
disorders, especially those caused by mites. Washing beddings with hot water is necessary,
especially if you have pets.

Magnesium: A natural cure for constipation
C
onstipation is a common health problem, and
although easily treated, it is usually very badly managed
in hospitals. To make matters worse, many people have
come to believe that the only solution to constipation is a lifetime of laxatives and purgatives.
Quite simply, the main cause of constipation is the
deficiency of magnesium in the body. It’s important to
make a distinction between constipation and irregular bowel
motion. Irregular bowel motion is a deviation from a person´s
regular bowel motion which normally occurs anywhere from 3
times daily to 3 times weekly. Irregular bowel motion is usually
caused by sudden changes in our diet. Medications are also
notorious for causing irregular bowel motion. Constipation
on the other hand refers to bowel motions that are difficult to
pass. Constipation can be a sign of serious illness.
Chronic bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and even bowel
cancer may initially present as constipation. However, deficiency of magnesium is typically the underlying
cause of constipation. Magnesium is a key nutrient in the body and involved in more than 300 chemical reactions that occur in the body. Magnesium is found in many green vegetables, but unfortunately, over the years
soil magnesium has been depleted, causing a severe reduction in the levels of magnesium in green vegetables.
As a consequence, we will need to consume several times more vegetables than we did 40years ago to get the
same amount of magnesium.
Any factor that depletes magnesium stores from the body will also contribute to constipation. Medications in
general are known to leach minerals such as magnesium from the body and medications used to lower blood
pressure as well as antidepressants and antibiotics are major culprits.
Magnesium naturally prevents constipation by drawing water from the intestines into stool to soften it and
make it easy for the body to expel. The body requires relatively large quantities of magnesium every day in
order to keep the bowels moving normally. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium is set to
420 mg, however experts argue with good reason for the need to review this figure upwards to between 1000
and 1500 mg daily.
At MedB clinic, we have observed that people suffering from severe constipation (unable to pass motion for a
week) may need up to 2000 mgs of magnesium daily for treatement. It usually takes about 2 months to restore
magnesium stores in the body, after which most people would have been cured of constipation and the remaining few may still need about 100 mg of magnesium daily to pass motion normally.
Managing constipation with laxatives has a number of drawbacks. While it may relieve constipation, it does
so by stimulating the intestines to contract in order to pass motion. Over time, those taking laxatives become
dependent on it, and unable to pass motion without it, due to weaknesses in the muscles of the intestines. Laxatives may also cause serious complications such as mineral deficiencies, haemorrhoids and intestinal bleeds.
Constipation can also be caused by failing to drink enough water especially in between meals. Water is vital for
food digestion, and stool softening. Unhealthy diets rich in processed foods and lacking in healthy fibre will
promote constipation. Eating ample quantities of fresh veggies and fruits every day will go a long way in preventing constipation. Those with chronic constipation or already taking laxatives may consider taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium supplements are available in many different forms, but the best absorbed form
is magnesium malate.

What

Stroke?
M
ention stroke, and most people
immediately think of cholesterol.
In recent times cholesterol has
been blamed for the rising cases of strokes
observed today. Experts have pointed out
that although the prescription rates of statin drugs for lowering cholesterol has gone
up at an astronomical rate over the years,
the incidence of stroke and heart diseases
continues to rise year in year out, rather
than fall.
Strokes are caused by diseases of the artery, and in medical terms, it is referred
to as a cerebro-vascular accident. Strokes
occur when there is blockage of the cerebral
arteries or blood supply to the brain. Most
people imagine a lump of cholesterol blocking the arteries, but nothing can be further
from the truth. The underlying cause of
strokes is inflammation, and the main
cause of inflammation in the body are
toxins called free radicals.
sticky fatty substance, it may become glued
onto the aggregated platelets. However,
cholesterol was never the cause of the initial inflammation, and does not make up
the bulk of plaque which is mostly formed
from platelets or clotting cells.
Although cholesterol is commonly blamed
for causing heart disease and stroke, the
reality is that cholesterol plays a very tiny
role in the formation of plaques that may
eventually block the blood supply to the
brain. Quite clearly, lowering cholesterol
levels in order to avoid stroke has very
little effect on the formation of plaque and
the development of atherosclerosis.
Prevention of stroke can be achieved by reducing the factors that cause inflammation
in the body. Toxic free radicals are produced inside the body during metabolism,
and outside the body by environmental
toxins. The body produces special antioxidants to neutralize harmful free radicals.
Sufficient quantities of antioxidants are
also found in vegetables and fruits especially blue-red fruits such as strawberries
and raspberries. Dark chocolate and red
wine also contain impressive amounts
of antioxidants.
An effective way to reduce your risk of developing stroke is to reduce your exposure
to inflammation causing agents such as
vegetable oils and processed foods.
Inflammation is the medical name for a
wound inside the body. The body responds
to inflammation or wounds by sending out
special clotting cells or platelets to heal the
damage. Usually the body has no problem
getting inflammation under control, however when toxic free radicals are implicated,
it becomes more difficult for the platelets (
clotting cells) to patch up the wound.
As a response to more severe inflammation, the platelets or clotting cells start
‘clumping together’ and over time will
build-up into plaques. As cholesterol is a

Eliminate Toxins from Your Body
with Pectasol
I
magine spending your life in a house that is never cleaned. The human body without
proper detoxification (or clean-up), is exactly the same as that house. Every day we
are exposed to dozens of toxic compounds that cause chronic diseases. From prescription drugs to household cleaning products, cosmetics, plastics and even drinking water, we are surrounded by potential sources of deadly toxins that contaminates the
body.
Researchers have calculated that the average person has inside them over 100 deadly
toxins such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium, mycotoxins (from moulds), DDT, insecticides, BPA (from plastics) and many others. These toxins accumulate in all our organ,
and over time cause chronic health problems such as memory loss, high blood pressure,
arthritis, diabetes, dementia, sexual dysfunction and premature ageing.
Pectasol is the only orally taken natural detox that has been rigorously tested and shown
to remove many different kinds of toxic chemicals from the body.
Research has also shown that Pectasol binds to a cancer causing chemical in the body
called Galectin-3
Pectasol helps people suffering from Tiredness, Heart and artery disease, memory loss
and dementia, rheumatoid arthritis as well as asthma.
Dose: 2 capsules in the morning, and then drink at least 1.5L
of water all through the day.
