Apples aren’t the most nutrient packed fruit but they certainly have some strong points. They do provide some vitamin C and potassium but their strong suit lies in their ability to control blood sugar. Apples are a good source of soluble fiber, especially pectin, which helps control insulin levels by slowing the release of sugar into your bloodstream
In days gone by apples doctors believed and educated the people that apples could alleviate digestion, bowel movement, respiratory and nervous system ailments. It was customary to eat an apple at the end of a meal believing that they contributed to good digestion.
Apple juice, historically, has been one of the first prescribed antidepressants because of it’s blood sugar benefits. Additionally apples are high in soluble fiber particularly pectin which definitely helps in controlling insulin. Pectin may also lower cholesterol levels.
Although not the greatest Antioxidant source they do supply an adequate supply of phenolics and the flavonoid quercetin. These natural antioxidants are all natural and travel the bloodstream building the immune system with no known side effects.
Researchers from Comell University have discovered that the amount of fresh apple extract from a medium apple with skin provides the antioxidant action equivalent to 1,500 milligrams of vitamin C. Using colon cancer cells treated with apple extract, the researchers noticed that cell proliferation was repressed in vitro. The scientists also tested the apple extract against human liver cancer cells and again found reticence of the growth of those cells.
Additionally, people who ate many apples may have lower rates of lung cancer, concluded by a study done in Finland. The study, published August 1, 1997, in the American Journal of Epidemiology, was keyed on flavonoids. The study reviewed the diet of 9,959 Finns aged five to 99 years. Of those in the group who were cancer-free in 1965, those who ate the most flavonoid-rich foods
Interestingly people who consume many apples and other fruit, vegetables, onions, juices, and jams had a 20 percent lower occurrence of cancer through 1991. Quercetin, a flavonoid found mainly in apples, accredited for 95 percent of the flavonoids eaten by the study group.
Oh by-the-way eat your apple with the peel since Quercetin is only found in the apple skin.
Although Aging is a lifelong process and involves your entire body, noticeable Aging can be reduced.
Natural Aging is of course what we all experience and there is no denying the inevitable but steps can be taken to significantly hold back the hand of time.
Aging Naturally without the use of gimmick products and costly surgery is the goal and in the process of taking measured steps along the way, the Aging process will slow, sometimes dramatically.
Here is a list of Do’s and Don’ts that have had an impact on my life.
Give your body the right food.
Eat small portion meals of organic protein, organic green leafy vegetables, an occasional fruit, rice, fish, mixed nuts. Limit carbohydrates, pasta, dairy products and grain. Sugar, refined or natural should be very limited. No fried food what so ever! No boxed or processed foods which contain preservatives, dyes and other additives. No meat that contains hormones or that was genetically altered. No vegetables or fruit that were genetically altered or that pesticides or herbicides were used. No massed produced meat, no processed meat and no fish from fish farms.
Supplement with high quality Natural Supplements and Organic Herbal Products. This is a must, no matter how well you eat your not going to get all the nutrients your body demands in this fast paced world.
Drink as much pure spring water as your body can handle without bloating. Carry a bottle of water with you where ever you go.
Eating balanced small meals will allow your digestive system to work effectively and it stands to reason your body weight will respond in a positive manner.
Get your body moving.
Walking is the exercise of choice for most people and that is a good thing. The more you walk the more your entire body is gleaning the positive benefits. Heart health, emotional uplift, digestion, circulation and respiratory to mention a few.
Also exercise builds stronger bones, tones muscle and if done properly straightens skeletal structure.
When you become ill allow your auto immune system to respond, it was made to fight infection and disease. We have the tendency to run to the doctor at the first sign of sickness. Listen to your body you may just learn something.
It is vitally important to get a lot of Antioxidants into your bloodstream so your body has a fighting chance to fight back sickness.
Screening for diseases is a good thing although I have never been screened. If you feel that you are of a particular risk to a disease then go for it.
Get plenty of direct sunshine! Use herbal sunscreen only if you plan on long exposure. Sunshine is our best source for vitamin D and many naturalist believe there is healing power in sunlight.
Avoid using caustic hand and bath soaps containing alkaline etc. Buy a herbal soap and a herbal skin conditioner if you so desire. Wash your clothes in a mild non caustic detergent.
No Smoking! No Smoking! No Smoking! Drink Alcohol in strict moderation!
Stress destroys and kills.
Don’t allow stress to overcome you. You are the master of your body so demand of it a stress free zone. Slow down, think through a situation before you react. Allow your temperament to adjust before you take action in a stressful situation. You can control stress, the alternative is that stress controls you and that really sucks.
Enjoy life to its fullest. Each day brings new hope, new passion, new life. Grab life by the horns and ride it for all it’s worth. Be thankful for what God has given you and what will be given you.
Learn something new everyday. I love to learn, read, write, think, ponder, plan, dream, remember and pray.
Laugh until you cry!!! It is a scientific fact that laughter is good for you in many diverse ways. So find something to laugh about and go to it!
If you have a great marriage you are one lucky person for it is proven that people who have a happy relationship with their spouse are more likely to live longer and will be healthier along the way.
Family and friends have a positive role in maintaining a positive attitude, particularly as we grow older. Hold fast to your loved ones.
Go to bed with a calmed soul not fearing anything not worrying about what tomorrow will bring. Get at least 9 hrs of sound sleep. That sounds like a lot but consider that sleep has healing attributes and can appreciably slow down Aging.
Have Faith in your Faith that everything that happens is for your good. Faith is a strong motivator and a immeasurable comforter. We are only on this planet for a very short time regardless how fast or slow we Age so why not enjoy life and don’t obsess with how you look, just do the best you can and enjoy the ride.
Acne causes to be considered:
If you have Acne consider these causes:
1. Contact with an oily substance. ( eg. vegetable oil, mineral oil)
2. Adverse reactions to medication.
It is widely thought that Acne is most likely propagated by secretion of sex hormones at puberty. These sex hormones are called Androgens and are secreted in both male and female. Androgens enhance production of oil from the skin’s oil glands.
Acne forms when the skin’s oil glands become overactive and for whatever reason the oil cannot back out and oil builds up. At this point swelling takes place. The collection of pus can lead to inflammation and is normally colonizes by a bacteria called Propionibacterium.
Under extreme circumstances the pus glands may burst through the skin and produce cysts.
Doctors now consider Acne a fungus on the face.
It is also thought that a colon blockage can contribute to acne.
A high quality Colon Cleanser is suggested to get things moving and to sustain a clean colon.
Is Acne curable? Here are some home remedies:
The incidence of acne breakouts can be reduced by using a face wash containing Tea Tree Oil. Wash your face thoroughly with warm purified water twice a day morning and evenings.
Do not apply anything that is oily to your face especially cosmetics.
If you have extra dry skin use skin products made specifically for dry skin. Always wash face thoroughly.
There are many Acne astringent cleansers on the market that work towards oil buildup. Sometimes these products cause dry skin, redness and itching. Apply these products only to Acne affected areas.
Here are some natural Herbal Remedies for Acne and can add to overall skin improvement: 1. Burdock root
2. Chamomile
3. Dandelion root
4. lavender
5. Bergamot
6. Juniper
Additionally, poke root and Echinacea have been used for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Also red clover has been to be effective for its estrogenic action.
Another herb known to be effective with Acne cases is witch hazel, an excellent astringent.
Home Herbal Remedies for Acne sufferers:
Add some ground ginger to a little milk, stir and apply to Acne affected area.
A cinnamon and honey paste makes a good night time concoction. Wash thoroughly with warm water in the morning. Do this for about a two week period.
Apply a mixture of cinnamon and lemon juice to infected area.
Make a paste of water and ground orange peel and administer to Acne. Thoroughly wash with warm water after thirty minutes.
Garlic rubbed on Acne periodically has a soothing medicinal affect.
Raw papaya juice rubbed on Acne infected area has been known to relieve swelling and soothe.
Another paste reported to have significant healing properties for Acne is salt and vinegar. Be sure to thoroughly wash and rinse after thirty minutes.
Get some fresh mint and liberally rub over Acne area.
Apply a paste of vinegar and turmeric to infected area and then wash off with water (lukewarm)after twenty minutes or so.
This may actually prevent or cure Acne. Drink wheat grass juice. Make a poultice of water and ground sesame seeds to help alleviate inflammation and itching.
Other Acne Treatment:
There are reports that Acupuncture may have a positive reaction to Acne affected areas.
A popular homeopathic herbal remedy for Acme sufferers as well as people who have blind boils and pustules is Kali brom.
If you have blackheads, oily skin and pustules try selenium for relief.
Conventional Medicine: Note: I am personally opposed to pharmaceutical drugs.
There are many topical Acne medications available as well as internal medications. Please read side effects before taking any prescribed or over the counter drug.
Therapeutic Injections:
Injecting steroids directly into cysts or scar tissue is an option in extreme cases. There have been some success but please note we are talking about steroids a foreign entity to the human body.
Lastly; Surgery:
Surgery should only be considered under the worst case scenario . Surgeons can open up and remove whiteheads and blackheads and reduce blemishes.

According to a new science, known as epigenetics, your ancestors’ diet, smoking habits, exposure to pollutants and levels of obesity could be affecting you right now. In turn, your lifestyle could affect your children and grandchildren.
The “epigenome,” a layer of biochemical processes that turn genes on and off plays an enormous role in heredity and health. Researchers believe that by mapping the epigenome, they can better predict and treat disease. The epigenome is passed from parents to children.
This changes according to the environment, and is one reason that “identical” twins can be so different. I know this to be true because I am an “identical” twin and although we looked identical when we were little, after moving many miles apart in adulthood our environments became very different and while I stayed fairly the same my twin changed in appearance ; and now we no longer look like “identical” twins.
So remember the more we learn about the human genome, the less DNA looks like destiny.
All the hype about how to lose weight is overwhelming. It seems as if everyone has an opinion for the best way to lose weight. The media has their paid experts to reassure us they surely know more then the rest of us. Oh and the infomercial crowd well they are preeminently qualified to do what; …..grab our money. So how do we really lose weight safely and responsibly?
We have all heard the old adage “You can’t see the tree through the forest” well in this case we can’t see the truth through the fog of deceit.
Being in the health truth business I rarely come across anyone expounding health truth without having an ulterior motive, namely personal gain, and so it is with weight loss, it is about making money .
We tend to make problems bigger and mightier then they really are. I have found with my profound wisdom (don’t I wish) that simpler is better and so it is with losing weight.
Putting aside the people who are honestly handicapped in their weight loss endeavor by a real health condition that is prohibiting weight loss and need to seek professional help, the idea of losing weight is remarkably simple.
1. Eat 4 or 5 small (1/3 the size of regular portion) meals per day rather then the customary 3 large meals. This allows your metabolism to work more efficiently and allows your digestion to ‘catch up’ and not get backed up in your stomach.
2. Eat organic produced eggs and meat everyday without exception. Don’t fry any food; period.
3. No pasta, no pasta, no pasta.
4. Eat a lot of organic green vegetables. If you need to use a dressing use organic olive oil.
5. Eat fruit sparingly since fruit contains natural sugars and sugars of any kind should be kept to a minimum.
6. Limit snacks between meals to a hand full of mixed nuts, banana or yogurt. No deserts! Try not to snack at all! Avoid processed food like the plague! No hormones, additives, man made junk.
7. Drink as much clean water (no public tap water) as you can without becoming bloated. Keep a bottle of water with you throughout the day.
8. Alcohol is to be limited to a glass of wine during dinner.
9. Walk your way to better health. Walk as much and as often as you can without over exertion and without physical pain. Did I mention walking is great!
10. You must believe in yourself. You must have the burning desire within to outwardly lose the weight.
11. Cleanse your body of toxins and accumulated waste that is pasted on the wall of your colon. Your stomach will become flatter and you will lose substantial weight just by cleaning out all that gunk.
I also highly suggest taking a Quality Natural Supplement so to be sure you are getting all the necessary nutrients in addition to what food you are eating.
12. Take it slow! Don’t expect to become thin overnight. Except this program to lose weight as a lifestyle change not as a quick fix to the problem.
Now I didn’t mention many foods such as rice, fish, grain etc. for the simple reason I didn’t want to become bogged down with a multitude of different food. Suffice it to say the essential key to weight lose is limitation. Follow the suggestions I outlined above and as you begin to see weight lose and muscle tone improve you can safely add small proportions of different food to your diet.
If you are morbidly overweight or if you are inflicted with a disease such as diabetes or heart disease than you need to seek a professional before implementing any weight loss program.

Everything that needed to be said about this natural disaster has in one way or another been said so i will wonder off the beaten path to make a point unrelated and yet surprisingly relevant.
Natural disasters are completely and unalterably unpredictable and yet we are always without exception left in the after mass pondering what we could have done to prevent the disaster and than the politicians jump head first in giving away our money.
The last time I checked their were thousands of non for profit organizations who are out in the real world helping and assisting the truly needy day after day with no fan-fare because they do what they do with a humble heart. These wonderful people are committed to helping where ever disaster strikes without concern for their on safety in many instances. They aren’t looking for accolades or public recognition only in getting help to where it is needed. This kind of benevolence is repeated day after day throughout the world by kind loving people just doing what they know in their heart is the right thing to do.
I don’t want to appear callus but did you notice that when a natural disaster occurs certain entertainers hold press conferences or leak to the press that they are giving X amount of dollars to the relief effort? Well I have and frankly it is troubling in the sense these arrogant fools can’t keep their well doing to themselves. Are we to love these people more because of their good deed? It seems to me if you have the means to donate to any worthy cause regardless of the amount that should be a private affair between you, the recipient and God.
Speaking as an American I can say unequivably the American people are giving and generous and aren’t seeking a pat on the back. They have a warm heart and by their nature they love to help their fellow human beings. Small but yet sacrifical gifts have poured in from all parts of the world from so called ordinary folk who just want to help their fellow humans in Haiti. No press conference was called, no national media outlet tauted the great deed, no public recognition what so ever and yet these loving caring people made their donation never the less.
The politicians and the celebs as well as the rich and famous can learn from us ordinary folk who just live our lives the best we can and when someone needs our help we reach out gladly and without false pretense not seeking gratification but rather a true act of love and genuine caring. It isn’t about how much you give, it is about how much you love to give.
I’m totally sick and tired hearing about going green. It has become a catch all phrase for all things politically correct concerning our living environment.
Big corporations are falling over themselves to fall in line to show a dubious public that they care about you all. Small ‘mom and pop’ businesses on the other hand are slow to ‘upgrade’ to a much more expensive proposition.
Our illustrious politicians are considering implementing new mandatory guidelines to meet world treaty demands. The world continues to turn and the sun continues to rise and set and God still is in command but the cry to us peons is that if we do nothing we are doomed.
What a bunch of B.S.! The truth is that the United Nations and all associated and willing cronies are out to establish a one world government and ultimately have full and absolute control over our lives.
No i am no whack job conspiracy nut just a realist who can plainly see the real intent of the rich and powerful. The end game is ALWAYS the same with these neocrats and that is POWER and MONEY.
Have you noticed, it is always ‘WE’ have to make changes, ‘WE’ have to sacrifice, ‘WE’ have to adapt, not them, they are above the fray in their private and privileged domain.
Now the big push is for mandatory use of LED light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs are old and antiquated and need to be replaced with these new and simply wonderful ‘Green’ alternative. We are told that they will not burn-out for many years and that their very cost effective and that they will cure cancer…….OOPS; not yet. What the government desk jockey’s won’t tell you is that when dropped they explode emit poisonous gasses. They are extremely expensive and they aren’t as bright as the good old incandescent.
LED bulbs have been on the market for years so we aren’t talking about a new product. What we are talking about is a new push for a product that most Americans simply don’t want. Philips Electronics the leading producer of the LED has recently drastically reduced their prices in order to achieve more sales. Of course if asked their spokesman might tell you that with new technological break-through production costs have been reduced thus a lower retail cost. I believe it is obvious these producers are overstocked and need to cut their inventory even though our government continues it’s massive push for LED.
The American public has spoken with silence at the cash register and now an agitated and power hungry elite are poised to do what they do best, pass another law and be dammed what the citizens want.
Mr. and Mrs. politician you may want to reconsider who really owns this country, great citizens who pay your wages and keep you in office, or you may find the lights going out on your career.
The senate is in session this weekend debating Health Care Reform takeover from private enterprise.
As it were a massive and powerful snow storm has hit our capital at a most interesting time stranding our beloved politicians in their plush offices and personal accommadations.
The big push is on by the dems to get a government run health bill passed by Christmas and to save face from the total debachle this bill has become.
Only a few votes stand in the way of victory for the liberals and their ultimate goal of health take over from every American citizen.
Polls have consistantly showed that a majority of Americans do not want a government take over of individual health care but never the less the relentless push continues.
Undeniably, everything the government takes from free enterprise and tries to run for us becomes a burcraratic nighttmare and yet the push continues.
Americans have seen their constitutional rights errode as taxes continue to rise and civil liberties diminish and yet the massive push for more government take over continues.
Only the REAL people who make up this once great country can stand fast and demand ‘No More’ big government intervention. Let us alone to live our lives without big brother taking from us at every turn. Let us do what we do best without OUR government holding our hand and that is build a great nation.
So the push is on to pass this massive health bill with the snow flying and the wind howling and all our senators stuck in Washington to do their dirty deed. How fitting it would be if the snow and the politicians were all pushed out of the capital so ‘We the People can get on with our lives uninpeded. We can only pray.
I’m always talking about how important it is to have a lifestyle conducive to maintaining good health. Well here is what I did early this cold windy morning.
First I ate my three eggs with toast with real butter. Had a cup of decaf coffee while I checked my emails.
Walked my two Golden Retriever’s separately in the fields. Actually we run, walk, stop to play, really get the heart pumping. I will do this three times a day each lasting about thirty minutes. The best part of ‘walking the dogs is that i’m outside enjoying the day. I do this regardless of the weather and thouroghly have a great time.
Life is way to short not to enjoy every momment so I DO!
Step back from the mondain and take a serious look at your lifestyle and where you would like to be instead of where you are now.
God gave us only our alloted time here on earth and before you know it your life is but a vapor forever gone.
A happy fullfilled lifestyle goes a long way toward maintaining good health but it’s much more than that it is your ticket to be “Forever Young”.
If your currently using prescription drugs and intend to continue using them no matter what, I say too bad for you. It isn’t that prescription drugs will kill you, (they might) or that they will make you sick, (probably will) or that they will cure you of anything, (most assuredly won’t) no too bad for you because your hooked on them.
Oh I see, prescription drugs make you feel better and that is all that matters. Well, how long do you have to take these drugs to get your high, one week, a month or longer and then what happens when you stop; ‘you crash’. Your back to square one with nothing cured, no significant improvement with your ailment and your back to the doctor for more meds.
Why not try another approach, one that actually may cure you and get you healthy in the process.
This no brainer is simple and logical and for those reasons the medical establishment have a real problem with it . See there is no money in it for them, they can’t prescribe any of them or expect a kick back and they will actually make you more healthy which is a detriment if your livelihood hinges on repeat customers. Oh my, oh my, what could this miracle be?
No miracle just the stuff God gave us to heal ourselves. Oh wait, maybe that is a miracle, hmm……yep a miracle. This ’stuff’ is natural (did you catch that, natural) supplements all God given medicinal herbs and natural nutrients that man had no role in creating.
Now see if this sounds logical to you. Your diagnosed with some dastardly disease and you have a choice to either take your meds made of who knows what and will only mask over your symptoms and will not cure you of anything or take Natural Supplements that actually have the ability to cure your sickness by getting into your bloodstream and keying on specific conditions. Your health will improve and your sickness has the real possibility to be cured.
Still not convinced; well this may sway you from the dark side. Next time you go to a doctor for what is ailing you and the good doctor tells you that you have such and such and that he or she is prescribing X amount of drugs you ask these questions.
Will these drugs cure me? (well…huh….well….huh)
What do these drugs specifically contain? (get ready for words that are from planet duffis)
Do these drugs contain any natural supplements? (say what!)
Are you getting compensated for prescribing these drugs? (get ready to be thrown out)
Are there alternative natural supplements you can prescribe for me? (the door is opening)
Can you recommend a good Naturopathic doctor? ( run like the wind!)
Hello, is anybody listening, there is no good drug! (bad English, good point)
If you are serious about getting healthy for the long term then you need to supplement with all natural supplements, preferably organic herbal supplements. There are degrees of quality in supplements and some are down right fraudulent. Buy from respected producers in the industry. Be cautious of advertising hyperbole. Before you buy it would be a good idea to do a business check with the better business bureau. Also it is important to know that Natural is a marketing term and may not equate to Organic which is herbs grown completely free of chemicals.
Please see a naturopathic doctor and consult with your family physician before weaning off the toxic prescription medication.
Staying healthy demands a life time commitment to giving your body all the nutrients it requires so when sickness is on the door step your body will respond; ’No Thank You This Is a Sick Free Body’.
A clinical trial published online in ACS’ Journal of Proteome Research indicates that one and a half of Dark Chocolate everyday for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in the bodies of people feeling highly stressed.
There is growing evidence that antioxidants and other beneficial substances in dark chocolate may reduce risk factors for heart disease and other physical conditions.
Until this study little evidence was available to substantiate Dark Chocolate actually reduced stress in highly stressed individuals.
The study shows a reduction of stress hormones and other stress-related biochemical changes. Additionally the study provides strong evidence that during a period of 2 weeks sufficient stress components were modified to effectively change the metabolism of healthy humans.
We continue to learn about the amazing natural healing resources available to us to keep us healthy. Antioxidants keep our immune system a strong fighting force. ROCK ON!
At least 3 Democrats in the house and one senator has asked for investigations into why drug companies have increased their wholesale prices on some products..
Analysts believe the looming government take over American Health Care with the suspected government caps on prescription drugs has the drug companies ‘taking a larger profit’ in it’s wake.
The democrats apparently aren’t aware of the free enterprise system in place in the USA for well over 200 years. Any and all commerce is in business to make a profit, hence wealth. There is literally no other reason to risk investing capital in a business enterprise.
However the democrats abhor the idea of free enterprise and the absolute freedom to raise product prices if the market so dictates.
Any government intervention in a public companies business is on the fast track to a government take over of all private enterprise. As witnessed by our blatant take over some car companies and insurance companies. This is what these far left socialists want nothing less then all facets of our life micro managed by a privileged few.
I for one don’t take any drugs what so ever but having said that the drug companies have the right to set their own prices on their products. That is true for any American company no exceptions.
Listen up congress we don’t want you to tell us how to run our business and dictate your fascist ideas upon the people who really run this country. Stay out of our lives and crawl back into your holes whence you came.
POWER to the People!
The United States Preventive Service Task Force announced Monday that it recommends against annual mammograms for women age 40 to 49. This is the first time in 20 years the panel has recommended a stoppage or slow down of mammogram use.
The panel maintains that the benefits of testing do not outweigh the “harms” and risks.
Recent research has shown that repeated exposure to mammograms may act as an independent risk factor for breast cancer. While many medical experts still recommend regular mammograms, which take an x-ray like photograph of the breast, to detect small tumors, opposition to the practice is growing. The task force also recommends against teaching breast self-exams for all women.
Cumulative doses of radiation, that is, the build-up of many doses of radiation over time may in fact be a cancer initiator. Common sense dictators that multiple exposures of radiation cannot be conducive to anything about good health. In fact it is harmful to the human body even in small doses.
A non-invasive and non-squishing method for detecting masses in the breast is available.
This method, called Thermography uses thermal imaging to detect “hot spots” in the breast. Thermo graphic detection of these spots is more reliable than mammography because the blood flow pattern changes long before the tumor is large enough to be detected by x-ray.
I fear medical practitioners will continue to subscribe to mammograms since they are easy to administer and generate a great deal of income via the insurance companies and Medicare payments.
I will also add my concerns about any government intervention in this case a government panel of ‘experts’ making some grand proclamation on our behalf for our well-being. There will be much opposition to this ’decry’ mainly from the medical professionals who continue to see mammogram testing as a good tool toward the end of early breast cancer detection.
Tests at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia support the premise that large numbers of people who got sick this fall actually fell prey to a unusually severe and continuing -outbreak of rhinovirus, known as a major cause of the common cold.
Experts say they can’t test everyone who have flu like symptoms so apparently many diagnosed swine flu cases were no more then a bad cold. Evidently the CDC doesn’t track rhinovirus so there is no statistical data to substantiate or deny the findings.
Rhinovirus is exceedingly common and since ‘the common cold’ is easily dismissed as just a nuisance sickness and not a threat to kill it is sadly overlooked as a health threat.
This specific strain of rhinovirus is severe enough to mimic mild flu symptoms such as those found with the H1N1 virus. Even though we have been told that H1N1 is a most deadly strain in actuality more people die yearly from more common strains of flu worldwide.
Susan Coffin (coffin and hospital; UGH!), director of infection prevention and control at Children’s Hospital fears that parents won’t immunize their children for H1N1 thinking they already had the flu and have become immune to a second outbreak. “Maybe their child is still susceptible to H1N1 and should still get the vaccine,” Coffin said.
This rhinovirus event has caught the medical industry off guard and are now trying to re-evaluate the situation. The wolf has already cried for all children to get their H1N1 shot, so what now to do with the rhinovirus that is so similar to the symptoms found with H1N1. It is unlikely that the CDC will make any public statement regarding this new revelation so we will continue with the herd mentality of immunization.
Last time I checked there was no vaccine for the common cold but I’m sure those industrious pharmaceutical companies are feverously working on a serum that temporarily eliminates ALL cold symptoms. What a money making boom that would be.
Oh, what a minute we already have such remedy it’s called ‘CHICKEN SOUP’.
Blood Pressure Natural Remedies are abundant and vary in effectiveness, however one stands alone for quality and customer satisfaction…..Hypavera™.
Formulated using only the finest certified organic herbal extracts available. This natural supplement is loaded with beneficial herbs making this product the “Cadillac” of Blood Pressure Natural Remedies . Here’s a list of organic herbal ingredients.
This product claims to dilate blood vessels, increase peripheral circulation to the hands and feet and improves peripheral blood flow and decreases platelet aggregation.
Before you begin searching for the best Blood Pressure Natural Remedies consider that you may have just found it.
If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure it would be prudent to confer with a naturopathic doctor before taking any new supplement.
With the current swine flu scare we are getting barraged by expert medical opinion concerning the best way not to get the flu. As with any flu the object is to stay clear of people who have flu like symptoms and avoid large crowds in a confined area. Pretty simple stuff but what other steps can we take.
Wash your hands extensively throughout the day whenever your able to do so and I mean scrub your hands thoroughly. Use a anti-bacterial soap or lotion and hand sanitizers in addition to regular hand washings. Avoid shaking hands if at all possible without offending someone terribly. If you must shake someone’s hand use the hand sanitizer at a discrete time. Do Not touch your face with your hands, not anywhere on your face. Avoid touching public handles, door knobs or anything a person has public access to. Carry a handkerchief with you at all times to sneeze into and a small packet of tissues and always have a bottle of hand sanitizer with you.
Hospitals are full of sick people only go to a hospital or clinic if it is a dire emergency. Don’t share food, drinking glasses, bottles, utensils, lipstick, chap stick or any mouth to mouth contact. Be careful who you kiss; sorry.
Supplement with natural supplements to get your immune system strong and ready to fight off any infection.
Your body is able to protect you from the flu and cold if you give it the power to do so. Get plenty of sleep, nap if you can, drink lots of clean water, eat good nutritious food and exercise regularly and you’ll be flu free, healthy too.
Horror of horrors the Democrat Health Reform Bill passed the house here in the U.S.A. . Socialized Medicine has come one step closer to becoming law. There is no government run program that has ever been successful and yet the Dems think they can take care of some 300,000,000 American citizens. If this bill is passed our health care will be bureaucratic controled and YOUR HEALTH DECISIONS WILL MADE FOR YOU. Make no mistake about it government bureucrats don’t give a damn about your health.
Call your U.S.state senators and demand that they vote no for socialized medicine. Take a stand now while there is still time to defeat this government takeover of your families health.
American patriots still have the last say on how ’Our’ government is run and let us not forget these politicians work for us not the other way around.
May God Bless America
Has chemotherapy destroyed your White Blood Cell Count?
We know how important it is to build it back up. Your body uses White Blood Cells to fight off viruses and bacteria. Researchers have found that lithium can increase white cell numbers again in people whose levels fell due to radiation or chemotherapy. Lithium achieves this by stimulating the stem cells in bone marrow, which then turn into platelets and White Blood Cells.
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, These include broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, pumpkin and carrots.
Get plenty of rest, vitamin C, zinc, and beta-carotene may be helpful. Pump the heart with moderate exercise of 30 minutes a day can also increase White Blood Cell Counts.
Drink green tea. Green tea helps stimulate the production of white blood cells. Decaffeinated green tea is better for your body, and 1 or 2 cups a day should do the trick.
If your White Blood Cell Counts are low, avoid people who are sick, wash your hands often, use good hygiene, and call your doctor if you experience any signs of infection.
A genuinely happy and up-beat attitude will almost definitely improve your immune system since stress is a immune system destroyer.
Low dose lithium 5-10 milligrams twice daily will also usually raise a Low count to normal even if radiation and chemotherapy are not the cause.
I did a search for Blood Pressure Drugs and found a list of 71 which all presumably treat blood pressure in one way or another.
Some are Alpha Blockers, Beta Blockers, combination Alpha Beta Blockers, Direct vasodilators, Calcium antagonists, ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II receptor blockers, Beta-adrenergic blockers and diuretics, ACF inhibitors and diuretics, AngiotensinII receptor antagonists and diuretics and a host of drug combinations.
The drugs themselves have marketing names like Diovan and Ziac with scientific names way too long and impossible to pronounce or remember. How do they come with these crazy names anyway?
So I have this list with all these drugs not knowing one from the other (sure hope my doctor does) and each drug different in it’s own way with concoctions only God himself can decipher. What now!
I said all that craziness above to get to my inevitable point, which is; Why in the world would anyone put this stuff in their body? Because my doctor prescribed it for me. Well if your doctor prescribed Arsenic for a common cold would you take it? This stuff isn’t good for you plain and simple.
