Special Report Busts Open The
Biggest Cover-Up in U.S. Medical History
Who hasn't at one time or another felt cheated and abused by the current medical system?
For over one hundred years, the money-hungry Mainstream Medical Establishment has been trying to hide from the American public a form of medicine that could solve most of your health problems gently, inexpensively and quickly. In fact, the current powers that be was established explicitly to squash this competition. And it's used all kinds of tactics to do so. But now you're going to be even more incensed... Because the real cures—the real answers for the health problems that plague us—have been right under our noses the whole time. But we haven't been able to get to them. Click here to see the cures that have been basically "stolen" right from under your nose! |
Are you serving cancer-causing foods from your grill?
Research shows that cooking certain meats at high temperatures creates new chemicals that don't exist in uncooked meat. Some of them may increase your cancer risk. But take heart, there are ways you can reduce your risk.
Research shows that cooking certain meats at high temperatures creates new chemicals that don't exist in uncooked meat. Some of them may increase your cancer risk. But take heart, there are ways you can reduce your risk.
Grilling creates two dangerous chemicals
Two chemicals are synthesized when a piece of meat encounters fire: heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
HCAs form when muscle meats such as beef, pork, fowl, and fish are cooked at high temperatures. The high cooking temperatures cause amino acids (the building blocks of all protein) to react with creatin (a chemical in the muscle), thereby creating HCAs.
Frying and broiling can also produce HCAs, but the charred edges of barbecued meat produce these chemicals in their purest and potentially most dangerous form.
Researchers have identified 17 different HCAs1 linked to stomach, colon, liver and skin cancer — but only in animal studies.2 Though scientists think HCAs can directly damage your DNA and initiate cancer, they have not yet confirmed that HCAs cause cancer in people.
That hasn't stopped the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from naming HCAs as a possible carcinogen. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has also studied HCAs.
An NCI study from its Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics studied 176 people diagnosed with stomach cancer and 503 cancer-free people, assessing their diet and cooking habits.
They found that those who ate medium-well or well-done beef had more than three times the risk of stomach cancer compared to those who ate it rare or medium-rare. In addition, those who ate beef four or more times a week doubled their risk of stomach cancer.
Another study also found that those who eat the most barbecued red meat nearly doubled their risk of colon polyps3, compared with those who don't eat them. And as you probably know, colon polyps can develop into colon cancer.
Other studies link colorectal, pancreatic, and breast cancer to high intake of well-done, fried, or barbequed meats.
Just as an aside, cigarette smoke also contains HCAs.
The second chemical, PAHs, form when meat juices drip onto coals or other hot surfaces and create smoke.4 In this case, it's the smoke that contains the carcinogen, which then settles on the surface of the meat. PAHs have been associated with an increased risk of breast and stomach cancer.

The 4 factors that influence HCA formation
Four factors determine HCA formation in food, so you can influence the risk, short of totally giving up cooked meat. They are (1) temperature, (2) type of food, (3) cooking method, and (4) time.
Temperature is the most important factor. Frying, broiling, and barbecuing create the most HCAs because the meats are cooked at high temperatures.
Researchers found a stunning 3-fold increase in HCAs when the cooking temperature increased from 392 degrees to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. Oven roasting and baking use lower heat and therefore create lower levels of HCAs. Stewing, boiling, and poaching are done at or below 212 degrees F, and so produce negligible amounts of chemicals.
Well-done (versus medium) meats also produce more HCAs, linked to both longer cooking times and usually higher temperature.
HCAs are only found in muscle meats, whereas other protein sources (milk, eggs, cheese, and organ meats) contain very few HCAs whether uncooked or cooked.
The NIH suggests partially cooking your meat in a microwave and then finishing it off on the grill. While that may reduce HCAs, I'm not sure I can recommend a microwave as a safe cooking method either. See my other suggestions coming up…

Put this into perspective
Currently, no one knows for sure how many HCAs Americans eat, nor has a "safe" level been established. Scientists simply do not know at this time how many HCAs are needed for an increased cancer risk.
But many feel that in the grand scheme of cancer prevention, there are much greater risks than grilling. Says Colleen Doyle, M.S., R.D., and director of Nutrition and Physical Activity for the American Cancer Society, "If you're 30 pounds overweight, that puts you at much greater risk for developing a number of cancers (than does eating grilled meats)."
Incidentally, the other missing piece of information in all these studies is the quality of the meat in the first place.
Nowhere in these studies do they discuss the dangers of conventional meats. For example, dangerous newly emerging antibiotic-resistant killer bacteria, E. coli and salmonella all "force" you to overcook your meat to offer some measure of protection… which isn't necessary with grass fed organic meats.
Plus, grass-fed meat should always be cooked at lower temperatures… or it will become tough.

What do cancer experts do?
I'm a realist. Rather than urging people to aim for perfection, I try to get them to change a few bad habits here and there. More than 200 million Americans enjoy outdoor cooking, and the typical household cooks outdoors at least 20 times throughout "the season".
So I try to take into account what's going on in the real world. But in my view, 20 times a summer is too often. This should be a once-in-a-while treat.
I'm not a frequent meat-eater — a couple of times a week at most, red meat once a week or less, grilled meat almost never (mostly when I'm a guest at someone's house). Quite aside from high-temperature cooking, there's other evidence that associates high meat consumption with cancer risk.
Roasting and braising, not frying and grilling, are my favorite ways to cook meat. Once you've had a great braise, I don't know why you'd ever want to eat grilled meat.
For the healthy individual, I think meat is okay as a treat once in a while, provided your other habits are good. Cooked properly, animal protein has enormous health benefits that are very hard to get from a pure vegetarian diet.
If you're a cancer patient, most cancer advocates (the Gerson Institute and Bill Henderson, for example) say you should eat absolutely NO meat. It's not served at most of the alternative cancer clinics we've visited. These places are run by first-rate alternative and integrative doctors. I trust their judgment.
On those rare occasions when you do indulge in grilled meat, take these steps. . .

13 tips for grilling without serving up cancer
Fortunately there are many ways you can reduce your cancer risk while still enjoying this backyard summer tradition.
- I suggest you always choose organic grass-fed meats for what they do contain, as well as for what they don't. Grass fed animals have much higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, and a much healthier nutritional profile overall.
Grass fed meat has much lower fat content than conventional meat. So conventional meat is much more likely to drip down and form PAH-laced smoke that settles on your meat. In addition, you may want to avoid it for other reasons — such as second hand consumption of fattening and grains (which are genetically modified, more than likely). - In any case, lower the cooking temperature on your grill. Get used to eating your meat medium-rare instead of well-done.
- Use the leanest cuts you can find. Use thinner cuts, which cook more quickly. Be sure your meat is completely defrosted before cooking, to reduce cooking times.
- Cut meat up into cubes, which cook more quickly. Enjoy them as kabobs.
- Don't cook directly over coals. Use indirect cooking methods.
- Keep the grill rack farther from the fire.
- Flip filets before they become charred. Now recommended: flipping every minute or two, to prevent charring.
- Keep your grill really clean! Scrape off charred residue every time you cook, so you don't transfer carcinogenic chemicals to your food the next time you use it.
- Use marinades. Besides creating superb flavor, some studies show it also reduces carcinogens.
The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry says that marinating red meat for two hours significantly reduced HCAs.5,6,7. Beer, wine, lemon, and vinegar are thought to create an "invisible shield" that protects from the formation of HCAs and PAHs.
A Kansas State University study found that rubbing rosemary onto meats before grilling cut HCA levels by up to 100 percent8 — apparently due to its high antioxidant levels. Do basil, mint, sage and oregano offer similar benefits? I don't know, but it's possible.
However, sugary toppings like barbeque sauce tend to burn very easily and should be avoided.
Important Note: Heat any extra marinade you intend to use as a sauce at least three minutes to kill bacteria it picked up from its contact with uncooked meat, poultry or fish. And always marinate meats in the refrigerator to keep bacterial levels low. You have to bring the sauce to a boil to kill microbes. Otherwise, set aside sauce beforehand and don't reuse the marinade. - The best food for grilling is vegetables and fruits, which do not form HCAs. They also provide you with a host of cancer-fighting nutrients and phytochemicals.
In fact, there's some evidence that these natural phytochemicals may convert HCAs to an inactive, stable form that you can easily eliminate from your body.
Try grilling asparagus, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, eggplant, onion, portobello mushrooms, and even mangoes brushed with a bit of olive oil.
Cruciferous veggies have especially high potential to negate HCAs. One study of men who ate 2½ cups of Brussels sprouts daily for three weeks reduced their DNA damage significantly. Don't like Brussels sprouts? Try broccoli and cabbage instead. - Avoid charred meat like the plague. Cut off offending spots to protect yourself.
- Grill fish instead of meats. They tend to form fewer HCAs.
- Place juicy foods in a foil packet to reduce dripping.
And before you fire up the grill, go enjoy a 40-minute walk — which will help reduce the greater risk of that "extra 30 pounds".
At least there's one silver lining: You may be better off grilling your own meats in your back yard, versus eating meat in a restaurant. That way you're able to control what you eat including how many additives, antibiotics, and other health saboteurs are in your food.

The biggest blowout game in NFL history was the 1940 matchup between the Redskins and Chicago Bears. The game ended in a final score of 73-0. The Washington Redskin coach publically humiliated their competition before the game by telling reporters that the Bears were “quitters and crybabies.” This clearly wasn’t the case when the Bears showed up to play, which resulted in a spectacular game for the Chicago based team.
In 2001, a game against the Cleveland Browns went into overtime after the Bears tied it up with a touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter with only three seconds on the clock. Going into overtime, Mike Brown ran the ball in for a touchdown after jumping up for the Hail Mary and intercepting the ball from Cleveland. The game resulted in a win for the Bears with a final score of 27-21.
It’s a dream for every football team to compete in the Super Bowl. The Chicago Bears had a ticket to the game that was televised on NBC where they took on the New England Patriots. The Bears came out victorious with a final score of 46-10 to be crowned Super Bowl XX Champions for the 1986 season.
A clutch moment in Michael Jordan’s career goes down in history as “The Shot” and symbolized the beginning of Michael Jordan’s dynasty with the Bulls. It was during the fifth game of the NBA finals in 1989 where they faced the Cleveland Cavilers. After a jump shot, Cleveland came back to take the score from 99-98 to 100-99. With two seconds to go on the clock, Jordan received the inbound pass and hit a shot from behind the foul line to win the game 101-100.
In 2009, Joakim Noah, the forward for the Bulls pulled off a 42.1 second shot in the third overtime to break the tie. Joakim intercepted a pass from Celtic’s Paul Pierce. Running down court he ended the game with a textbook dunk just in time. The game ended in a victory for the Bulls with a score of 128-127. Imagine being a Bulls fan and having tickets to that game!
In 1991, the Bulls broke the existing record for most season wins by winning 61 games, which landed them a spot in the playoff games against the Los Angeles Lakers. Leading the team, Michael Jordan received MVP awards for the regular season and finals, as well as winning his fifth consecutive scoring title. This was the Bulls first championship win since 1966. Imagine having a courtside ticket to that game!
In 1907, the fourth World Series ever played was a matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. With a final score of 2-0 the Chicago Cubs came out victorious 4 games to 1 against the Detroit Tigers, earning the Cubs their first World Series win. They win their second World Series the following year and oddly enough, beat the Tigers with a score of 2-0.
The 1998 and 1999 season of the Chicago Cubs baseball proved memorable for Sammy Sosa when he became the first individual to hit 60 homeruns in consecutive seasons. It was in the 1998 game against the Milwaukee Brewers that Sosa hit not just his 61
While the Cubs lost this game, it still doesn’t take away from their amazing comeback skills. In 1979, the Chicago Cubs faced the Philadelphia Phillies for a high scoring fight for victory. In the top of the fifth inning, the Cubs were down 21-9 where they battled back. The final score was 23-22 with eleven home runs and 50 hits. A year earlier the Cubs beat the Phillies and set a record for a total of 57 runs.
28,000 fans purchased White Sox tickets and witnessed “one of the best defensive plays” in White Sox history. Three outs away from the end of a perfect game, White Sox outfielder, DeWayne Wise robbed Gabe Kapler of a homerun for Tampa Bay. Had this ball not been caught, the game wouldn’t have been put in the record books as the second perfect game for the White Sox.
Coming off a batting slump, Scott Podsednik hit a 2-1 pitch to end the second game of the 2005 World Series. This was Podsednik’s first home run of the season. The seat where the homerun landed remained the same when they updated the stadium seats at the Cellular Stadium. They went on to win the 2005 World Series three days later against the Houston Astros. This was the first time they won the championship after experiencing an 87-year drought.
Fans that had Chicago White Sox tickets wore black to the 2008 game against the Minnesota Twins. The blackout was to support the potential of a berth to the playoffs. Jim Thome hit a homerun that won the game with a 1-0 score and landed the White Sox in the playoffs. This year, both the Cubs and White Sox made it to the playoffs
After a 49-year draught, the Blackhawks took home the Stanley Cup. The victorious win over the Philadelphia Flyers ended in overtime. Patrick Kane drove in the winning goal, which ended the game with a 4-3 score, bringing the Stanley Cup back to Chicago.
Going down in history as a legend, Bill Mosienko scored a grand total of three goals in just 21 seconds of play in a game in 1952. Gus Bodnar assisted Moisenko for each goal during the third period. The team went on to win the game against the New York Rangers with a score of 7-6. Chances are, this NHL record will never be broken putting this Blackhawk player in the record books possibly forever!
In 1944, the Chicago Blackhawks took on the Toronto Maple Leafs in a hockey game that ended perfectly. The game went down in the record books as a scoreless event. Not even one penalty was called, dubbing this game a “perfect” scoreless game.
