18 May 11 Biotechnology and colonoscopy research
Based on a recent news on the “The New Economy” – see this post – a Belgian Biotechnology firm and a Danish Biotechnology company called Exiqon are developing a new type of blood tests to detect colon cancer. A colon cleanse is a relative cheap process of cleaning the colon of its built-up fecal matter. According to many sources, most people may have from 5 to as much as 40 lbs of fecal matter residue in their colon. Much of this is probably compacted matter, putrefied proteins, rancid fats, and fermented carbohydrates. According to some recent studies, if this accumulation is not eliminated, it can lead to such chronic problems as constipation, bloating, body odor, bad breath, back ache, weight problems, a weak immune system and even, in the ultimate stage, bowel cancer.
There are ways to cleanse the colon in a natural way. One of the natural colon cleansing methods is to change ones diet. Adding larger portions of fresh fruit and steamed vegetables, fiber-rich cereals and bran, can help to eliminate the compacted fecal matter. There are also herbal remedies that claim to achieve natural colon cleansing and reduce the high costs of a colonoscopy. Most of these herbs contain psyllium husk. The husk swells in its passage through the colono when it comes into contact with water, and hence pushes the compacted matter out and emptying the bowel. Will be the Biotechnology the new science that can help to reduce colon cancer problem and colon test costs? Let’s see what will happen !
03 May 11 When I tried a protein product including whey isolate…
Last year I woke up in the morning and shut: I want to lose weight! So, I went to a specific shop and bought a generic product containing whey protein isolate Powder. My goal was to loose five pounds in two weeks time. This powder is fat free, cholestrol free, and lactose free and contains the best amino acid profile. It comes in both flavored and unflavored taste with the exception that the flavored does contain a small amount of sweetners. The best part about it is that you can choose what flavor you would like to add and I chose a strawberry flavor.
The shop assistant told me that some of the benefits for this powder include not only losing weight but also build of muscle mass, maximizes protein synthesis, minimizies muscle tissue breakdown and improves glycogen replenishment and nitrogen retention. He also suggested me to buy another product containing whey isolate a called Whey Protein Isolate Cold Filtration which comes in the form of a supplement. This product contain whey isolate and separates protein in the form of micro filtering. The filters allow the protein to be removed from the unwanted fat and is lactose and fat free. This product is high in bioactive whey protein including lactoferin, immunoglobulin and glycomacropeptides. This is for people like me who do not like the taste of powders and prefer the form of supplements.
These are just some of the few whey protein isolate products that are good for losing weight and building muscle mass. They come in forms of supplements and powders. If you do not perfer drinking powders, then you may want to consider the supplements, although the powders do come in great tasting flavors, they are not for everyone. Do you want to know the end of my story? Yes, I lost 6 pounds in 12 days and now I am ready to go to the beach 
10 Mar 08 Homemade colon cleanser
There are a lot of recipes available to help you make your own homemade colon cleanse. One such recipe for a 2-part cleansing drink is as follows: Part 1 requires 2 oz of freshly pressed apple juice (not concentrate), 8 oz spring water, 1 tablespoon Bentonite clay liquid, 1 level teaspoon Colofibre (available from various companies), and this must be mixed and imbibed quickly, since the mixture tends to thicken if left standing. This is to be followed immediately by Part 2, which comprises of 10 oz of spring water, 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Also the costs of colonoscopy should be considered in your health budget spending.
Another sort of homemade colan cleanse is a cleansing diet. A sample diet may be as follows. Breakfast, should include reconstituted dried fruits such as apricots, peaches, figs, and prunes, along with fresh fruits, especially figs, and low fat, low salt cottage cheese. Lunch may consist of vegetable salad, baked potatoes, steamed vegetables, brown rice, millet, buckwheat, vegetable broth, corn on the cob, a slice of pumpernickel bread with avocado or cottage cheese, baked peppers, home made soup, and sprouted seeds, such as alfalfa. Dinner may have a large salad, steamed vegetables, small omelet, vegetable soup or broth, cottage cheese, and steamed or grilled fish.
