While I was growing up, a friend of mine used to do the best Popeye imitation I've ever heard. It never failed to make me laugh, hearing him do the cartoon voice in class, or on the playground. Once, after
not having seen the guy in years, I heard that voice, while walking on 6th Avenue in New York and, sure as Santa Claus, there he was, right beside me. My friend had a dream to get a Harley Davidson motorcycle. He wanted to walk in, pick one out, pay cash for it and then, drive away. He realized that dream. Unfortunately,a year to the day he bought his hog, he was struck by a car that didn't stop for a red light and that was the end of that tune.
But Popeye's advice to consume a lot of spinach lives on. It's good advice. Among all foods, spinach is the pinnacle powerhouse food. It has more health benefits than almost any other food.
It's low in calories. It provides a synergy of multiple nutrients and phytonutrients (250 at last count).
It contains lutein, beta carotene, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, vitamins C and E, B vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and betaine. It also contains plant derived omega-3 fatty acids and is one of the only two vegetables to contain CoQ10. (The other is...broccoli.) http://www.favoriteformulas.com/CoQ10formula?awt_l=7D9CN&awt_m=J9tGbEM_PgZIrW Of all the areas in the body that spinach helps, the most important is the eyes. By the time we are 65 years of age, 20% of us suffer from age related macular degeneration, or AMD. The percentages go up with advancing age.
There isn't any cure for macular degeneration. That leaves us with prevention and the best sources of AMD prevention are spinach and its cousins, kale, collards, Swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, bok choy, romaine lettuce and orange bell peppers. Right next to spinach and its cousins are marine based omega-3 fatty acids (ie., fish oil) and CoQ10 supplements. Take a moment and imagine this: You can't read, drive, watch TV, or see a movie. That should be enough to remind you how important your sight is. You can keep your eyes clear by prevention and following Popeye's advice. So eat your spinach and take your fish oil and CoQ10:

WHO IS DR BILL?
http://www.favoriteformulas.com/
http://www.FavoriteFormulas.com/CoQ10Formula
http://www.FavoriteFormulas.com/blog
Dr. Bill is the nom de guerre of William Thomas Stillwell, M.D.,
FACS, FICS, FAAOS, FAANAOS, FAAPGS. He is a licensed, board
certified orthopaedic surgeon, with nearly a quarter century of
clinical experience, and has served as Chairman of the Department
of Orthopaedic Surgery at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center,
Smithtown, New York until he retired in 2003, Associate Professor
of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the State University of New York
at Stony Brook (1987-2003), Assisitant Professor before that, and
Instructor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the College of
Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University (1982-1999).
He is also a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North
America, the Association for Hip & Knee Surgery, and numerous
professional and scientific societies, including his Fellowships in
The American College of Surgery, The International College of
Surgery, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, The American
Academy for Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery, and the American
Academy for Postgraduate Surgery.
Dr. Bill was born in Brooklyn, New York and is a product of the New
York City educational system, with higher education through New
York Medical College, where he earned his Doctorate in Medicine in
1973. At this time, he also worked as a professional medical
illustrator and comic artist
His Internship and General Surgery Residency were at the Medical
College of Virginia in Richmond, Vurginia and his Residency in
Orthopaedics was at St. Luke?s Hospital, back in New York.
Subsequently, he completed his advanced training in Adult
Reconstruction as an Otto E. Aufranc Fellow in Constructive Surgery
at the prestigious New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, and
Tufts University, where he was a Visiting Fellow.
Thereafter, he began the private practice of orthopaedic surgery in
Commack and Smithtown, New York, on Long Island, in the summer of
1979. Five years later, he had a specialized practice in surgery of
the hip & knee and was appointed Chief of Orthopaedics. During this
period, he was also Director of the Fracture Clinic, at St.
Luke?s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in NYC. He introduced many
advanced techniques in joint reconstruction to the hospital,
including his pioneering work on standardized protocols, which
eventually became known as clinical pathways, decades ahead of the
rest of the field.
He has written (and often illustrated) a number of scientific and
academic articles, which have been published in peer reviewed
medical journals, and two major orthopaedic textbooks on advanced
joint reconstruction: The Art of Total Hip Arthroplasty (Grune &
Stratton, 1987), and Arthroplasty: An Atlas of Surgical Technique
(with coauthor W. Norman Scott, M.D., Aspen Publications, 1987). He
illustrated the latter two books, as well.
During his tenure as Chairman, Dr. Stillwell developed his
Department with one of the strongest rosters of surgical excellence
on Long Island and the region. His hospital became a widely
respected regional center of excellence for major joint replacement
and revision, arthroscopic surgery, and advanced spinal procedures.
He himself was publicly acknowledged as a regional expert in his
field, The Hip & Knee Specialist, with a regional, national and
international referral base. He was also invited, twice, to lecture
at the prestigious British Hip Course in Oswestry, Wales, in the
U.K., on advanced revision surgery techniques.
At the peak of his career, Dr. Bill sustained a fractured spine in
a fall, and after attempting to continue his work for over a year,
despite progressive pain, believing he was putting patients at
risk, he voluntarily resigned from his position and retired from
his practice. He now commutes seasonally between his main residence
in Central Florida and the ?Northern Command,? in Southampton, New
York. He lives with his wife of over 35 years and a whole lot of
cats.

Wednesday, 15 December 2010 19:06:19I Don't Care How Sick I Am It's Wrong To Eat Animals
She sat crying in a chair in her doctor's office. Her doctor told her, "You are hurting yourself. You are very, very, sick. Your hair is falling out, you are depressed and you are making yourself ill. You cannot go on like this." She kept right on eating, as she always had. An entire head of greens in her morning smoothie. Beans every day, tons of citrus fruits, tofu, nut pates, whole grains, sprouted grains, roasted
vegetables and stacks of vitamins. This was the diet that was supposed to make her healthy and save the world. This way the optimum way for humans to eat. (That's what the vegans told her.)
By her own admission, she was always hungry. It didn't matter how much she ate, she couldn't stay full for more than two hours. She just accepted that fatigue, exhaustion and growing depression were a
normal part of life. She wanted veganism to work; she wanted her ethics to outweigh her physiology.
Then, she found out that many prominent vegans weren't vegans "behind the scenes." They ate eggs, fish, meat, all to keep themselves healthy, but would not admit it in public. One noted vegan cookbook author and another animal rights activist told her of their health struggles and of their return to eating meat and eating animal products. She still soldiered on, for three and a half years, believing that she was saving lives and that veganism was a shining light. Then, she ate some meat. "My first bite of meat, after years of veganism, was both the hardest and easiest thing I've ever done. Tears ran down my face, as saliva pooled in my mouth. The world receded to a blank nothingness and I just ate and ate and ate. I cried in grief and anger, while morning with pleasure and joy. When I took the last bite, I just sat back and waited to get sick. I had just devoured a hunk of dead animal, the most evil thing I could conceive of. Surely my body would reject this debasement and I would feel vindicated that I truly was meant to be a vegan." Instead, she felt profoundly joyful in finally listening to the wisdom of her body. "My face felt warm, my mind peaceful and my stomach full, but...I searched for a word to describe how it felt...comfortable. I realized, for the first time in months, that I felt satiated, but without any stomach pain. I had only eaten a small piece of cow flesh, yet I felt totally full, but light and refreshed, all at once. I reveled in the new and unexpected combination of sensations. How amazing it was not to need to eat for a solid hour, until my stomach stretched and distended over my pants, just to buy an hour of satiety.
Then, I noticed something else: My heart was beating slowly and steadily. Normally, after a typical meal of veggies, rice and beans, or other starchy fair, my heart would race and skip for an hour or
so, afterward." The unnerving post meal palpitations were a sign of blood sugar instability, caused by consuming massive servings of carbohydrates." After two full months of non-veganism, all her health problems have disappeared. She is now sleeping soundly. Her stomach pains and bloating have vanished. Her allergies have diminished substantially. Warmth has returned to her hands and feet. Her depression has lifted. Her lower back pain has disappeared. Wrinkles on her face have vanished and her hair is thick and shiny. Her energy level is up, tenfold. I've said it before and I'll say it again, veganism is a health hazard, with vegeterianism not far behind. To get proof positive, all you need to do is listen to Prince Charles for ten minutes. (Not really scientific, but I think you get my point.)
https://www.favoriteformulas.com/?awt_l=7D9CN&awt_m=JZk.N0dczgZIrW
And by the way, how do you like these new TSA slogans? "We've handled more balls than Barney Frank." "Don't worry, my hands are still warm from the last guy." "We are now free to move about your pants." I'll be back tomorrow with more.
With my best wishes for your optimum health,
Dr. Bill

Dr Bill says that.............
The three most common ways to kick the can for the last time are: heart attack, stroke, and cancer. Even if you don't die...your life can be changed in oh so many ways.
So what do you do to protect yourself on a daily basis?
Change your diet?
Take vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids?
Exercise?
Lose weight?
All of the above?
If you answered all of the above...you are correct. 50 plus per cent of all Americans are now overweight. Your chances of doing battle with one of the big three killers if you are overweight is significantly higher than if you are not. One reason is that 80% of those who are overweight suffer from high blood
pressure, and many of them don't even know it. High blood pressure is a sneaky silent killer.
You can beat the three killers by:
1) Taking fish oil every day.
2) Getting a moderate amount of exercise daily.
3) Using a little common sense with regard to your diet.
https://www.favoriteformulas.com?awt_l=7D9CN&awt_m=JuZu7ggoPgZIrW
I recommend 4 soft gels of my Powerhouse Omega Formula on a daily
basis. You won't find a better fish oil anywhere.
I'll be back tomorrow with more.
