Cholesterol
Cholesterol is one of the most important substances in your body. The walls of cells are manufactured out of cholesterol. The cells are designed so that they can convert protein, amino acids, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates and sugars — all forms of food — into cholesterol.
I have already covered this subject, from a different viewpoint, earlier.
For instance, the manufacture of muscle requires proteins in the blood stream. Cells can make cholesterol out of proteins.
Carbohydrates and fats each have specific functions in the body, but, again, the cell can use either of them to manufacture cholesterol.
Cholesterol is so important to the health of a cell that the cell can produce cholesterol out of just about anything that comes along.
Why is cholesterol so important? Well, it is just the entire membrane of the cell — the wall which keeps the fluids inside the cell remaining inside, and keeps the outside fluids outside.
Yes, it is cholesterol which is the primary component of the walls of the cells.
When the cell is under attack of any kind, its primary defense mechanism is to thicken the walls of the cell. In order to do that it needs more cholesterol.
When the water pressure outside the cells is reduced (because of a shortage of water) there is an increased tendency for water to leak out of the cells into the outside area. The cell considers this a threat to its health and increases the thickness of the cell walls, with cholesterol, to keep the inside fluids from leaking out.
So, a very natural thing for the body to do when there is a shortage of water is to manufacture more cholesterol in the cells. Some of that newly-created cholesterol can certainly escape from the cell into the blood stream. THERE is where it becomes HIGH CHOLESTEROL. The fact that there is increased cholesterol in the thickening of the cell walls is not part of high cholesterol, but the increased and deliberate production of cholesterol by the cells certainly puts some excess cholesterol into the blood stream where the eager cardiologist can claim that you need to take a drug to lower your cholesterol.
The water needs of the body will be increased by these cholesterol-lowering drugs. But, if you are still not taking more water, what is the poor cell to do but manufacture more cholesterol, thicken the cell walls and try to protect the cell from losing too much water! Maybe the drug will suppress the escape of this cholesterol into the blood stream, but just remember that the production of increased cholesterol, in the first place, is just the body’s simple way of telling you that it needs more water.
So, is it believable to you that drinking more water might lower your cholesterol?
Well, that’s the truth!
If the cardiologist fails with his drug, as he must eventually do, the surgeon is ready with the knife! Bypass surgery is already proven to be a gigantic fraud, but many thousands of people get it every year.
Do you think that either the cardiologist or the heart surgeon would endorse the concept in this Section? Do you think these medical doctors would admit that all, or almost all, of the problems they earn money for “curing” could be cured, in fact, with more water intake?
Who is going to benefit from the data that you need more water in your body? Certainly not any doctor, and certainly not any drug company.
Who do you think guides the standards of medical education and medical care in America today?
I May Not Know How To Cure You, But I Can Sure Make You Comfortable.

HIV reservoirs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From the Saint Martin HIV Reservoirs Workshop to the Vienna International AIDS Society HIV Reservoirs Workshop back to the Saint Martin HIV reservoirs workshop!
HIV Reservoirs Workshop
From 2003 to 2009 we have organized in Saint Martin the Reference Workshop on HIV Reservoirs, HIV Persistence and HIV Eradication Strategies. Every 2 year in December, this HIV workshop has attracted researchers and clinicians from all around the world involved in HIV reservoirs research. Since its beginning, the HIV reservoir workshop principles were to bring together scientists working in different areas, from the fundamental basic science laboratories to the clinical care departments, the so called ‘bench to bedside’ approach.
Consequently, only Doctors having submitted an abstract to the HIV reservoir workshop were allowed to sign up.
Towards a Cure IAS HIV Reservoirs Workshop
Mid 2010, we were pleased to participate to the First International AIDS Society (IAS) HIV Reservoirs pre-conference workshop in Vienna. The format was quite the same, although participants of the IAS HIV Reservoirs workshop were on invitation only. There was also a Professional Development Workshop that took place during the IAS World AIDS Conference the following week.IAS involvement in the field of HIV reservoirs is, for us, a proof of the importance of the topic of HIV reservoirs and a recognition of the difficult work we did. Actually, when we launched the First Saint Martin HIV reservoirs workshop in 2003 we felt quite alone (a ‘handful’ of researchers) as agencies and firms were not that much interested by the topic!
HIV Workshop in Saint Martin in December 2011
Research is now moving quickly in the HIV reservoirs field. For about 2 years, HIV cure is no longer a forbidden word and several groups try to get a ‘functional cure’, allowing a drug-free HIV remission.
Consequently, we are eagerly waiting the 5th edition of the HIV Reservoirs Saint Martin workshop in December 2011; once again, we will invest all our energy to make this event the scientific reference on HIV reservoirs.

Dental Care
Dogs are really a man’s best friend. We have a tendency to treasure their loyalty and affection. It is simply as necessary that we tend to care for our pet’s health as it is our own.
