Dangerous ways acidosis impacts on the body (2) Calcium and cancer N order for blood to retain oxygen, it must also remain alkaline. Diet is critical to this process as minerals and nutrients such as calcium that help the blood to remain alkaline are typically obtained through the food we eat. If our diet is lacking in these essential nutrients, it will be forced to find them in alternative sources such as spinal fl uid, the kidneys and liver or saliva. Ironically, this then causes these organs to become acidic and vulnerable to cancer and other diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and lupus.

Calcium is actually classifi ed as an alkaline earth metal. Chemically, it makes up about 1.5 percent of the human body. This invaluable element is involved in almost every biological function within the body. It provides electrical energy to make the heart beat and the muscles move and it is responsible for feeding the cells and even DNA replication, a crucial process in cellular repair and aging. More importantly, calcium is essential to pH control as it can easily destroy acid in bodily fluids. As early as the 1950s, researchers dis-

covered patients suffering from various degenerative diseases could actually be cured by consuming large amounts of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and other essential nutrients. Although thousands were cured of cancer by increasing their calcium intake, the traditional medical establishment ignored the evidence and actually condemned and persecuted doctors who suggested this to be a viable treatment for the disease. Today, numerous studies again recog-
Achieving prosperity through disease prevention Continued from page 45 hospitalisations and deaths among children. Just months ago Ghana, introduced rotavirus vaccines and already more than 60 percent of eligible children have received the rotavirus vaccine. Six other sub-Saharan African countries—Botswana, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan and Tanzania—have introduced these vaccines into their national immunization programs. Zambia has introduced them regionally, and others—Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Guinea Bissau, Madagascar, Niger, Sierra Leone, Togo and Zimbabwe—are planning to include the vaccines in their efforts to control diarrhoea. But many more
countries need to be reached and there’s more work to be done to protect all of Africa’s children. If, for example, Nigeria could introduce rotavirus vaccines into the routine immunization, the country would be preventing the deaths of thousands of children each year. We have seen for ourselves that when children are protected from debilitating illnesses like diarrhea, they can grow up to learn better in school and be more productive, helping to lift their families, communities—and countries—out of poverty. With this in mind, as our leaders gather at the African Union Summit to discuss the most pressing matters facing the continent, we want to remind them of a core AU objective: the eradication of preventable
diseases. This work must start with our children. We must fight diseases that are taking children’s lives with the best tools we have. We know what is needed to stop diarrhea—a comprehensive approach. We urge our leaders to work toward an Africa where every child has access to prevention and treatment tools like vaccines, ORS and zinc that not only improve health, but save lives. Our future depends on it. Dr. Oyewale Tomori from Nigeria’s Redeemer's University, and Dr. George Armah from Ghana’s Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research at the University of Ghana, are members of the Rotavirus Organization of Technical Allies (ROTA) Council, an organization of technical experts working to save children’s lives and improve health.
nize that calcium can in fact, reduce the risk of all cancers. Oxygen and cancer Despite the many claims by various cancer associations and traditional medical professionals that we have yet to find the cure for cancer because we have yet to find the underlying cause, studies have actually shown for years that the fundamental cause of cancer is as simple as low cellular oxygenation levels. In fact, in 1923, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the real cause of cancer and in 1931 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery. Dr. Warburg showed cancer can only exist in cells in which the respiration of oxygen is replaced by the fermentation of sugar. In other words, he showed cancer can only exist in acidic, unhealthy cells as these cells don't use oxygen to survive. Instead, cancerous cells rely on sugar as their primary source of energy. He showed cancer cells actually become dormant in pH 7.4 and at pH 8.5, cancer cells die while healthy cells live. Warburg concluded if a cell is deprived of 60 percvent of its oxygen it will turn cancerous. He further stated if a cell is deprived of 32 percent of its oxygen for 48 hours it may become cancerous. Typically, a healthy person has a blood oxygen level of between 98 percent and 100 percent saturation. Cancer patients on the other hand, routinely show blood oxygen levels as low as 60 percent.
COMMON SEXUAL PROBLEMS AND THEIR NOVELTY BASED SOLUTIONS (ADVERTORIAL)
H
ELLO Uche. After we stopped having children four years ago, my wife started taking contraceptive pills to prevent accidental pregnancy. The problem is that she has added a lot of weight since she started taking these pills. Please what other options are there for pregnancy prevention? Thanks Chukwuma Chukwuma there are many of them. Most contraceptive options are not as popular as pills or condoms and that’s why many people don’t know about them. Here are contraceptive options your doctor can recommend for you: 1.Diaphragm: A Diaphragm is a shallow latex cap inserted into the vagina to cover the cervical opening. This prevents sperm from making contact with the woman’s egg. 2.Contraceptive sponge: This is a disc shaped barrier made of spermicidal foam. It has a string attached to it and is inserted into the vagina to block the cervix and soak up the male sperm during intercourse. 3.The Patch: The skin patch is worn on the lower abdomen, buttocks, outer arm or upper body. It works by releasing the hormones progestin and oestrogen into the blood stream to stop the ovaries from releasing eggs in most women. 4.njection: The contraceptive injection is given to women once every three months and just like the patch, it stops the ovaries from releasing eggs and also causes changes in the cervix that prevent sperm from joining with the egg. 5.Implantable Rod: This is a matchstick-size flexible rod implanted under the skin of the upper arm. This rod also releases progestin which stops the female body from releasing eggs and cooperating with the sperm. There is also the Vaginal ring, Intrauterine devices, Sterilization implant, Spermicide and male/female condoms, all of which work in different ways to prevent pregnancy. So discuss with your doctor and he will help you make a choice – Uche I recently watched some adult movies and I am amazed at how easily the women climax. Why can’t I have that kind of orgasm? I have never had an orgasm – Joyce
Dear Joyce, orgasms come easily to some women and are more difficult for other women but all women can climax. You just need extra help.

It was so intense that I urinated hard in the process, screaming at the top of my lungs. Is that how it happens? Mabel Dear Mabel, you did not urinate. You ejaculated.
