WATER_WATER_WATER

Eat for the health of it.

I know I just did an article on drinking or not drinking all that water but I found this article, apparently it was sent to me awhile back and I felt it was interesting.

#1 75% of Americans are dehydrated.
#2 37% of Americans confuse thirst as hunger.
#3 Mild dehydration will slow your metabolism.
#4 One glass of water will stop midnight hunger pangs.
#5 Lact of water causes fatigue during the day.
#6 Research indicates that drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day could ease back and joint pain.
#7 A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger memory loss, problems with math, and difficulting focusing on the screen or a printed page.
#8 Drinking 5 glasses of water decreases the risk of colon cancer, slashes the risk of breast cancer and be less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking enough water? I hope I can count tea and coffee. I do not drink soda and after reading this maybe you won't either.
#1 In many states the highway patrol carries 2 gallons of Coke in their car to remove blood from the highway after an accident.
#2 You can put a T-bone steak in a glass of Coke and it will be gone in 2 days.
#3 I have to remember this one, you can clean your toilet bowl by dumping in a can of Coke and let it set for 1 hour, then flush.
#4 You can remove rust from your car bumper by taking a piece of rumpled-up aluminum foil dipped in Coca-cola and rub it on the spots.
#5 Clean your battery cables by simply pouring a can of Coca-cola on the terminals and let it bubble away the corrosion.
#6 To loosen a rusty bolt, soak a rag in coca-cola and lay it on the bolt for several minutes and wala!!
#7 To bake a moist ham: empty a can of coca-cola into a baking pan, wrap the ham in foil and bake. Remove the foil 30 minutes before ham is done. Allow the drippings to mix with the coke for a scrumptious gravy. I would not be able to do this because of the HFCS or Aspartame in the diet coke.
#8 Get this: remove grease from work clothes by adding a can of coke to the laundry along with the soap. The coke will loosen the grease.

For your information:
#1 Coke is made from phosphoric acid: It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.Phosphoric acid leaches calcium from the bones and is the major contributor to osteoporosis.
#2 Get this! The commercial truck drivers that carry the syrup for Coca-Cola must use a hazardous Material place card reserved for highly corosive materials.
#3 The distributors for Coke have been using Coke to clean their truck engines for 20 years! Now, would you like a glass of water??????? or a glass of Coke????
You know, I think I am pretty happy I can't drink soda.

Laughter is healthy: Last Rites,

Father O'Malley rose early one morning. And as he looked out his bedroom window he noticed a Jackass lying dead on his front lawn. He called the local Ranger's station.
The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Sargent Flaherty. How are you today?"
"Ahhh the best of the day to yerself. This is father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead on me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergent Flaherty, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a brief moment. Father O'Malley then replied,"Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."

Is radiating our food better than taking a chance?

Eat for the health of it.

Now the government is going to relax the rules on labeling radiated foods allowing some foods to be zapped with radiation and calling it pasturized. This would allow them to radiate the foods and they would only have to label it radiated if it changes the taste, texture and smell; for example if they radiate tomatoes they become mushy.

Radiated foods have already caused health problems in animals as well as humans. It has caused chromosomal damage, immune reproductive problems, kidney damage, tumors, internal bleeding, low birth weight, and nutritional muscular dystrophy.

What is the matter with these crazy people? They have to be crazy to want to poison everyone and this crap that they are using can make people sick, which has already happened. Why can't they use something safe?
Now you can use colloidal silver to sterilize things, it is painless on cuts, abrasions and open sores, you can use it in your nose, clean your eyes, and use as a deodorant, it can be used on super germs. Colloidal silver does not interact with other medicines, it also prevents illnesses, infections and fermentation due to various bacteria. Colloidal silver is known to be an effective germ fighter; it is not a chemical compound. It kills parasites. Colloidal silver has been reported to kill some 650 micro-organisms,it will work if using it enough and getting it to the effected areas. For certain infections you may have to use a higher amount. You may want to drink larger doses for more serious illnesses.

If colloidal silver can cure all forms of viruses, stomach ulcers, yeast infection, athletes foot, boils and burns etc.they can surely use it to spray on the meat instead of zapping it with radiation. It cured the infection on my lower eye lid. Now if it can cure all of these things, couldn't it kill the germs that are found on many foods. I like to use vinegar water to wash my fruits and vegetables. They could use collodal silver to wash down meats at the slaughter house.

Laughter is Healthy: Four brothers left home for college and they became successful business men. Some years later as they were dining out they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first one said, "I had a big house built for Mamma."
The second one said,"Yes, and I had a hundred thousand dollar theater build in that house."
The third said,"I had a dealer deliver her a brand new Mercedes."
The fourth said,"You know how Momma loved to read the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see to good. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the whole Bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach this parrot. I had to pledge $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mamma just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it." The other brothers were impressed.

Mamma wrote to her sons:
"Milton, the house is so huge that I live in only one room but I still have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."
Marvin, I am too old to travel, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. Thanks anyway."
"Michael,You gave me this huge theater that holds 50 people but my friends have all died, I've lost my hearing and I am nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thanks anyway."
Merle, "You were the only son to have the good sense to give some thought to your gift...The chicken was delicious."

Love Ya, Mamma

Colloidal Silver--A Super Antibiotic?

Eat for the health of it.

Colloidal Silver has been used as a healing medicine for many years. Probably one of the oldest known medicines. To tell you the truth, I really cannot recall how I ever got started using it. But because I am so allergic to medicines and other chemicals, I really do not have much choice than to use this. If I remember correctly,the first time I used it was for my stomach. My stomach was burning so much that I was taking Tagament, and tums all the time. It was a permanent staple on my grocery list. It helped but after learning about Colloidal Silver, I was taking that instead. I started out taking a few drops in a small amount of water and kept increasing it to maybe 30 drops a day and soon my stomach was feeling better. Then I learned about enzymes and I started eating radishes with my meals and this helps too. I eat radishes every day for the enzymes. I never knew that enzymes were so important for digestion.

Just a little note: some people think that radishes are always hot but I try to get the large red ones and they are usually mild, if they are hot try soaking them in a glass bowl with a little sea salt and cold water. Sometimes just soaking them in the water and store them in the refrigerator will work.

Back to the colloidal silver: Colloidal Silver was a common medicine until 1938. People would use silver for many healing reasons. Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans to use. Like I said, I have been using it for years for my stomach, I put it in my nose for a sinus infection, I put it in my ears, and one of the best things that I used it for was an infection on my lower eye lid. I noticed that this little pimple type thing would pop up on my lower lid and I would wash it with a wet wash cloth and it would fall off only to return a few days later. I showed it to my doctor and he said that I would have to contact an eye surgeon and I was scared of whatever type surgery he was talking about, but I wanted no part of anyone messing around my eyes. I went home and I started washing my eye lid at least three times a day and I noticed it looked pretty well gone but I did it a few more times and then, if you are like me, I forgot all about it and it was gone. It has been over a year and I have no indication of it returning. But if it does I will start with the colloidal silver right away.

If you are having any kind of health problems, whether it is the flu like symptoms or chronic sore throat, burning in your stomach, give this a try. I am not telling you that you shouldn't see a doctor because you should find out if it is other serious things going on in there. I did go to the doctor and I had tests from one end to the other, they removed my gall bladder and my appendix but I still was having diarhea and nausea, but they couldn't find anything wrong with me. They said I may have a spastic colon, common indigestion, and others, I decided to try this colloidal Silver, and it worked.

Another thing to use colloidal silver for is, any type of scrape, scratch, pimple, open sores, or if you have warts put some colloidal silver on a cotton wad and tape it over the wart. You can use it to purify water by adding a 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water, shake it up good and let stand for 6 minutes. It's safe and it isn't some poison or chemical.

There has never been a reported interaction between colloidal silver and any medication. It is reported to be a prevention for infections, colds and flu,even bacteria viruses and fungi. Colloidal Silver is tasteless, and will not sting, not even a babies eyes and it will not upset your stomach. I would try Colloidal silver for any type illness or any disease, or sores.

PLease go to your doctor for illnesses or skin leasions first, but for simple things like cuts, or sinuses, sore throat, and camping trips where you might get into something or you always get scrapes and cuts, you could use the colloidal silver but if it doesn't get better, get to the doctor.

Laughter is Healthy: Dear son,
I'm writing this slow, because I know you can't read very fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read the newspaper that said that most accidents happen within 20 miles from home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain and we haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't too bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send; your uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on so I cut them off and put them in the pockets. Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We really worried because it took him two hours to get me and paw out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle.

Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to get him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.

Your favorite Aunt, Mom

Eight glasses of water

Eat for the health of it.

There seems to be a big issue about whether a person should drink a lot of water or not. I have heard that you can count coffee or tea as water, it's made with water so why not? I wouldn't recommend drinking eight glasses of soda a day nor would I say drinking 8 beers a day, would be good for you.

One article I read says I can count a salad as a water, even a fruit can be counted. I've tried them all, (Not the beer). I think it is probably okay to do that but regardless of what you do, I think that water will release the water in your body quicker, when you drink a lot of water.

I don't usually have too much trouble with retaining water if I eat at home because I use sea salt but most of the time when I eat at restaurants they have the regular old salt with the chemicals and I am sure that's what they cook with too. When I eat at these restaurants that use regular salt, I notice the swelling in my ankles and I do drink a lot of water and it gets things going and I get rid of the water retention.

I try to be very careful what I eat. I try to eat all natural as much as I can. A lot of times your little family restaurants will have more of the good old fashion healthy foods and they are usually more reasonable.

Saturated fats-good or bad?

Eat for the health of it.

Did you know that saturated fats can prevent infections? They can also support weight loss, help digestive diseases and the onset of adult diabetis? Saturated fats give fuel to the heart and makes it stronger and gives you energy for physical activity and the chemicals that our brains need to stay sharp and focused.

At one time all ice cream was full fat ice cream until someone got the idea to make fatfree, sugar free and many others but people are realizing that ice cream has to be fat to be good. I like the all natural ice cream, if you haven't had it, give it a try. It's better for you simply because it is all natural. The way all food should be.

One of the most horrible forms of negligence since tobacco is allowing the use of aspartame. As often as they have warned people against the use of this toxic chemical and the long term effects of it, people still think it is just a hoax. Aspartame, also used in Equal and Nutrasweet and was on the list of biowarfare chemicals that were submitted to Congress, and still it remains on the grocery shelves. If people only knew what terrible effects that this chemical can cause.
Ailments like:
* Brain tumors
* Birth defects
* Diseases like lymphoma, diabetes, MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimers, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue.
* Epilepsy and seizure
* Migraines
* Numbness
* Hearing loss and ringing in the ears
* Blindness, blurred vision and other eye problems
* Stomach disorders
* Allergic reactions like, hives, rashes and itching

Any one of these ailments should stop anyone from using this product. I can't believe it is still on the market. A friend of mine that died from a brain tumor and I always felt it was from that chemical because she would drink several cups of coffee every day and she would put two packets of that stuff in her coffee. Just to think of how sweet that would be, turns my stomach.

It's bad enough when people use sugar, that has a bleaching agent in it. I use the unbleached sugar, that helps some but the calories are there, but at least it is all natural. There is a natural no calorie sweetener called Stevia, I use it and it has not bothered mt at all.

What causes wrinkles?

Eat for the health of it.

What really causes wrinkles?

I am not sure exactly what does cause wrinkles. I have heard all sorts of things and I can agree with a lot of them and some I dissagree to a point. Some say that the sun wrinkles your skin. I really dissagree with that because I have worked out in the field and my yard almost my whole life and I am not as wrinkled as some that are a lot younger than I am.

If I were to say what I think wrinkles your skin the most is: not drinking enough water, (I have heard many people say they do not drink water because they are going away and they do not want to go to the bathroom all the time. Gosh! Isn't that the idea of drinking the water so you flush your kidneys, which is how you get rid of toxic waste, which could add to the cause of wrinkles if left in your system?

Another is not eating good healthy food, people that smoke seem to wrinkle at a young age, same with drinking, heavy drinkers seem to have more wrinkles then those that do not drink, taking a lot of medication like, antidepressants and other drugs.I would say too that people who do not get enough sleep would age faster and get wrinkles.

I think that sugar, especially the sugar that has the bleaching agent in it, that sure cannot be good for you. All candies, baked foods, any product that contains sugar, is more than likely sugar that has been bleached with chlorine or some type of bleaching agent. Bleach is not good for you or your skin. And now they have added another terrible sweetener to our food supply which is just as bad if not worse than the bleached sugar. High fructose corn syrup is basically sugar and fructose mixed together, which is okay until they add the chemical to it and it becomes HFCS. Another chemical that can damage your skin as well as your whole system.

You can buy unbleached sugar at most grocery stores now but if you cannot find it there, you may have to go to a health food store. You can also buy unbleached flour. I am not encouraging you to eat sugar and flour but if you do, you are better off eating the unbleached. I feel that eating flour and sugar could add to the formation of wrinkles. The only way to find out is to go on an all natural diet. And one of the easiest ways to follow an all natural diet is to go on a Low Carb Diet, because it is basically eating all natural foods. It is eating mostly unbreaded meats, vegetables, water, tea and coffee and only one fruit a day, like an apple or an orange, excluding bananas. Now some people will say that coffee will cause wrinkles but I have drank coffee all of my life. I do not drink a pot of coffee a day but when I go out to eat I have a couple of cups and now and then at home I will brew a pot and hope for company to help drink it. If not it goes down the drain.

It may take awhile to break away from eating sugar and flour but the results are great. I have trouble sticking with the low carb diet, but I keep trying and even if you do not do it religiously it will help you a lot. You can eat most meat if it is not breaded, you can eat most vegetables if they do not contain sugar or starch, and you can eat fresh sausage and eggs for breakfast,(no toast), but you will get used to it. You can make a special drink out of: a 10 to 12 ounce bottle of water, 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt and 4 to 6 drops of liquid Stevia. Stevia is an all natural sweetener. You may be able to find it in the grocery store, if not the healthfood store has it. Be sure it is Stevia. (you may adjust the lemon juce to taste.)

Can foods be addicting?

Eat for the health of it.

Some people are addicted to gambling, alcohol, sex or smoking, and I believe that we can be addicted to eating. Do you often hide cookies because you know if they are out in plane sight, you are going to have a bite of one and then before you know it you eat 2 or 3, maybe more? It's just like an addiction, you see it and your brain tells you to eat one and then it's like an arousal and you keep thinking about it, then you want to have another. Any time you have foods that are multisensory, like ice cream that has sugar and cream, and it's cold. It's so good and your brain tells you, more, more. Anytime you add sugar, fat, salt, it's like an arousal, the brain gets activated and you want to eat. You either have to keep busy or you will give in to whatever has excited your taste buds.

A person that is overweight has some sort of problem coping with foods. You will see an individual that is overweight and they may go for more food several times. It's very hard for them to quit because they are really addicted to food. Some people just do not feel full until they have quit eating then all of a sudden you realize you ate too much and you are miserable. Some people actually are thinking of what they want to eat next, before they are done with what is on their plate.

The food industry knows that people are stimulated by certain ingredients in food and they are going to use this method of enticement. We all like the salty french fries, cheese burgers and maybe some ice cream for desert. If you are determined to fix your diet then you have to vow to make that change. Look at that food as something that is not good for you, like the cigarettes. At first people thought it was cool to smoke and then they realized it was just a dirty unhealthy habit. It's the same with food. Yes, we do have to eat but we have to choose the good foods that make us healthy and at the same time may take off some pounds. It may be difficult at first but if we try we can choose foods that are not laden with fats, sugars and salt. In some cases where you would like sweetened coffee, try using Stevia, at least that is not fattening and it is an all natural sweetener,with 0 calories and you may even lose some weight just by giving up the sugar in your coffee. In your cooking at home you can add a little Himalayan salt or sea salt to your foods, because the sea salt does not have the non-caking chemical in it like regular salt has and you do need salt in your body. Buy the Sea salt that has iodine(you need iodine) added to it. And as far as fats go, you have to learn to control them but if you are on a low carb diet, you can have those fats. It will be a choice that you have to make and anyone that just cannot give up eating, the low carb diet is for you. You will have to give up sugar and starches though. (Remember that the all natural (Stevia) is better for you then the chemical sweeteners). And remember that the low carb diet is pretty much all natural too, so it is healthy for you.

Laughter is healthy:

A lady goes into the bar on a cruise ship and oders a Scotch with 2 drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink, she comments that she is 80 years old today.
The bartender says, "Happy Birthday, this drink is on me."
The lady sitting next to her says,"The next drink is on me, and Happy Birthday to you."
The old lady says,"Thank you, I'll have another Scotch with two drops of water."
"Coming right up."says the bartender.
As she finishes that drink, the guy on her right says."I would like to buy you a drink too."
The older lady says,"Thank you, I will have another Scotch with two drops of water, please."
"Coming right up," says the bartender.
As he hands her the drink the bartender asks,"Ma'm, why do you order the Scotch with just two drops of water?"
The old woman replies,"Sonny, when you are my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water , however, is another whole issue."

The mystery of overeating

Eat for the health of it.

Do you ever eat a lot of food at a wedding or party, or just a get together with friends? Then you promise yourself that you are not going to do that again, but you do. A lot of us can answer yes to that. They always have the good, sugary and fatty foods at parties. They know by past experience that the richer the food the more you will eat. The party giver wants you to eat and enjoy what they fix so naturally they make rich pastries and fatty foods. You're brain just tells you that you want that food and away you go. Rich fatty and sugary foods are brain teasers and you just do what your brain tells you to do. Go for it. That can help us figure out why we get fat. It's not easy to diet without some regulating and will power. Try placing a smaller amount of food on your plate so each thing you take doesn't touch the other; eat it and don't go back for seconds. The most satisfying foods will be the all natural foods, so you will want to choose a piece of lean meat, a whole grain bread or roll, non starchy vegetables, and fruit. Hopefully the fruit will be a raw unsweetened type, like mellons. Make up your mind ahead of time that you do not need or want that dessert. Learn to deal with stress and other emotional behavior, so you do not use this as a crutch to eat more than you need.

We thought coal was a thing of the past but it looks like it will be making a come back. It's hard to believe that a chunk of coal can be liquified. They make eletricity from coal and they can make a product to power your SUV. Won't that be something. If this is true aren't we going backwards or maybe we just should have kept using coal in the first place. It probably wouldn't mess up the environment anymore than nuclear products do.

It seems that a lot of things are going back to the old days in a way. Every day you hear about the old diseases and illnesses are coming back in a different strain then before. People are checking into hospitals with bacterial pneumonia that anibiotics won't touch and Tuberculosis has returned to America, but it is a drug-resistant kind. New strains of colds and the fear of a killer flu epidemic may return. One way to help protect yourself is to buy a big bottle of hydrogen peroxide, it's cheap and it works.
Your own white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide. That's your bodies first defense against infection. So buy a bottle of (3% peroxide) and keep it around to fight infections. I take a capful and place it in my mouth and swish it around for a few seconds and spit it out, this helps your teeth and gums and fights infections in the mouth. You can mix it half warm water and half peroxide and place it in your ear to remove wax from the ear, you can use it as a disinfectant to clean counter tops, clean sores, and many other things.

Laughter is healthy: Two older Jewish fellows were sitting in a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles one day.
Sid asks Al."Do you know any people of our faith born and raised in Mexico?"
Al replies, "Nope,I'll ask our waiter."
When the waiter arrives, Al asks,"are there any Mexican Jews?"
The waiter answers,"I don't know senor, but I will ask the cook." He returns from the kitchen in a few minutes and said, "No senor, the cook says no Mexican Jews."
Al asks again, "Are you absolutely sure?"
The waiter, realizing he is dealing with "Gringos" replies," I check once again, senor," and goes back into the kitchen. While the waiter was away again Sid says,"I can't believe there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered all over everywhere."
The waiter returns and says, "Senor, the head cook, To'mas, say there is no Mexican Jews."
"Are you certain?" Al asks again. "I just cannot believe there are no Mexican Jews."
"Senor. I ask everyone." replies the exasperated waiter, "All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews and Tomato Jews."

Untruths and Unhealthy

Eat for the health of it.

Doesn't it just boggle your mind that we are supposed to be the healthiest and the wealthiest nation and yet the health department continues to feed us a bunch of crap about the safety of our milk? Then they heat it, cook it to the point where there is very little nourishment left to it. Add a bunch of other stuff to make it taste like milk again. If raw milk is so bad for us then how did our country survive all these years? By legislating against the sale of raw milk; the states forced farmers into selling their milk for a fraction of market value, causing them to sell their cows and getting out of the milk business.

The money grubbers frightened people into thinking that it was not healthy to drink the raw milk but that is the only healthy way to drink it. I recall when we had cows, and when a cow was sick or tested possitive for the "bangs" disease, we had to heat the milk before we drank it, otherwise we drank it right straight from the cow.

With the modern tecnology that they have now they could test the milk when it comes in, or the cows could be tested periodically, and if they are sick they could be separated until they are cured.

Why do you think we were healthier back then? Milk is full of vitamins, which helps to keep you healthy and you can resist diseases, colds and flu. Why do they encourage women to nurse their babies? From that 'first' milk fluid, to the full nourishment of the full milk,that's what gives them the healthy start in life, and builds your immune system. As they grow they should change to drinking cows milk but this Louis Pasteur's process, originally created to keep beer from spoiling and is now used to pasturize milk and for the money grabbers to get richer. Isn't it sad that there are people that are so money hungry that they can accually do things that will make people sick just so they can make money? I wonder if they can sleep at night.

Remember a few years ago, they said to take an aspirin a day to thin your blood? Now they are saying that it can cause blood platelet clumping, which can cause a heart attack. In otherwords an aspirin a day could cause a heart attack.

Have you been told to keep your cholesterol below 200? Well that's wrong too, now they are saying that if your cholesterol is below 200 you risk the chance of having serious heart problems.

Laughter is healthy: A woman was choking on some meat at this restaurant. Two boys from the back woods were there and took to watching her and they went right to work on her. One held her while the other lifted her dress and pulled down her panties and gave her a lick on her right butt cheek with his tongue. The woman is shocked and the food comes flying out of her throat and mouth. The two boys looked at each other and one says to the other, " Ya no, I'd heard about that hind lick manuever but I ain't never seed nobody do that before."

Just some more helpful hints

Eat for the health of it.

If you cut yourself or some other type of deep scrape that you are bleeding but not bad enough to go to the doctor to have some stiches taken, try putting coffee grounds on the wound. If it's your finger simply place your finger in a small container filled with coffee grounds, but if you cut yourself some other place, like your arm, then place some coffee grounds on a pad and hold it there until the bleeding stops. I have heard of using ground pepper, ground sage and also ceyenne pepper too.
===============================
I used to have trouble with leg cramps, so painful that I wanted to scream, nothing I did seemed to stop them. I held my breath, I almost screamed, they actually made me cry it hurt so bad. I read somewhere that if you place a bar of white soap under your bottom sheet, near your legs, that it will stop the cramps, and it really works. Don't laugh, just remember this in case you also get leg cramps some day.

The only time that I had leg cramps after that was when, somehow the bar of soap got knocked out of bed, I reached around for it but I couldn't find it, so I got up and got a new bar and I put it in my bed and, within a few minutes, the cramps were gone. I know it sounds crazy but it really works.
================================
Many teenagers have been plagued with acne or pimples; they have gone to dermatologists and have used expensive medicines to get rid of them. I have just heard about using MoM. Yes! Milk of magnesia. I don't have pimples but I also heard it is good for wrinkles, so I am going to try MoM for that. Can't hurt. Might help.
================================
If you have allergies be careful of the DM in OTC cough syrups, and if you are taking other medications, be sure to read the labels, because they may interact with your medications. My husband had that problem recently when he sent me for some cough syrup and I just happened to read the label and the label warned against using the syrup if he was taking this certain medication. If he had taken it, who knows what would have happened. I found some all natural cough lozenges. Also honey works good too, but not for children under two years. I always think of the cough syrup when we were kids; my mother would chop up onions real fine and add some sugar to it, place it in a glass and turn it upside down on a saucer, then when the syrup would seep out we would take a small spoon and drink the syrup. Best thing ever for a cough.
===============================
If you are one of the many people who are annoyed with toenail fungus, I suggest using Vicks on the toenails. If the fungus is bad and you have used it for a long time and it doesn't seem to kill the fungus, then put a lot of Vicks right on the toenail and cover it with gauze and tape it good. It will probably fall off but it should grow back. That's about the only way to get it straightened out. I have had a fungus on my toenail for quite some time. I use the Vicks and it gets about cleared up and then I forget to use the Vicks and then it comes back. Some day I may learn. Another thing that I use is half apple cider vinegar and half Literine mouth wash. This will kill fungus and athletes feet. But you have to use it, I keep telling myself that all the time. I used the Listerine and apple cider vinegar by putting it on a gauze and taping it on my toe over night; clears it up but I did not lose the toenail with that.
===============================
I used to have a lot of trouble with my stomach. I know that a lot of it was nerves but after a while I realized that eating certain foods were making the difference. First of all, eat all natural foods but while your body is making the transition from being poisoned by chemicals, you may have to help it along by eating foods that have enzymes in them. Radishes are a good source of enzymes. Also drink good chemical free drinking water. If you have to, add a reverse osmosis water filter to your drinking water. A good way to flush all of those chemicals out of your system. Do not eat processed foods. I have heard of people that have healed their sore stomachs by eating hot peppers. A person that I know, had trouble with his stomach and his wife cooked foods with hot peppers and he claims that it healed his stomach. Hey, it's worth the try. I eat radishes and hot peppers. I love hot pepper jell.

Laughter is healthy: Just before the funeral of her late husband, the undertaker came to the widow and asked,"How old was your husband?" "98." she replied. "Two years older then me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded in a sullen voice,"Hardly worth going home, is it?"

Things you should know and maybe you do

Eat for the health of it.

Helpful hints for skunk spray. Maybe you don't get that close to animals but this is a real concern for me because we live in an old farmhouse, where the door to the basement opens to the outside of the house and often the door gets left open and I worry that a skunk may just get nosy and enter the basement, then if I have to go there I could get some new perfume that I won't like.

I have always heard that tomato juice is good for skunk spray but now they say it only covers the smell for awhile but it doesn't neutralize it. If you do get sprayed or your dog; you can begin by airing it out,wash it out, apply deodorants, and use air fresheners in the area. If all else fails try this concoction:

Buy a fresh bottle of 3% peroxide (if you have a bottle that has been around for awhile, it loses it's potency),1/4 cup baking soda and 2 teaspoons dish soap.

(Do not get this in or around your eyes)( Do not make this solution ahead and cap it and store it because it will explode. If you use it on your hair, leave the solution on for five minutes and rinse. Repeat if necessary.

Things not to use: Ozone generator with deodorizing abilities. Their safety is unclear.Do not mix deodorant with other chemicals unless directions specifically state.

If you are going camping, take a bottle of 3% peroxide along and a small container of honey in your first aid kit.(If you put the peroxide in a smaller container, remember that peroxide must be stored in a brown bottle). If you get cut, pour some peroxide on the cut and make sure there is no dirt in it then wipe it dry and put honey on the cut and a bandade, and leave it on for as long as three days. Honey kills germs that cause infection and will stimulate healing.

The best solution for a childs cough, is a teaspoon of honey. But do not give honey to a child under 2 years of age because of possible allergies to it.

I do not understand why they are always pushing flu shots. I got one once and I was so sick before I even got home from the doctors office, I never got another one. The thing is there are so many strains of the flu that you are only receiving the shot for a few strains and if you do get the shot you can still get the flu. Which doesn't make sense to me. That is one reason I try to eat all natural foods. I hope that will build up my immune system.

Laughter is healthy: An old fella lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his tomato garden as he always had done but his son that always spaded the garden for him was spending some time in jail. He decided to write his son a letter:

Dear son, I am feeling bad that I will not be able to raise any tomatoes this year because you are not here to spade the garden for me. Love Papa

A few days later he received a response from his son:

Dear Papa, Don't dig the garden, that's where the bodies are buried. Love, your son

At 4:00 AM the next morning, FBI agents and the local police were at Papa's house and they dug up the entire garden, without finding a single body. They apologized to the old man and left.

That day the old man received another letter from his son:

Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I can do under the circumstances. Love, your son.

Tainted infant formula

Eat for the health of it.

What's with this melamine-tainted infant formula? First the FDA assures consumers that the US-made formula contains no melamine, then later the FDA reveals traces of melamine from three different manufacturers who produces nearly all of the formula brands sold in the US. Then the FDA officials say they cannot set a safe level of contamination of the melamine formula. But, wait just a minute-now they say they can set a safe level of melamine contamination in the formula: If it is below one part per million (PPM)it's okay. OOOPS!!Wait! As long as cyanuric acid is not present. Well, guess what: Cyanuric acid is a by product of melamine. Now do you suppose they are doing this to give it an appearance of being safe, or could it be that someone does not know what they are doing? Where do they get the idea that we want any chemical in our babies formula? Or where do they get the idea to put chemicals in any of our food? This is so crazy.

I have recently tried a natural sweetener that is supposedly has been extracted from a tree from somewhere, at the moment I forget exactly where that is, but it isn't important where it came from it is important that it did not react on me but I am monitoring it just in case. If I do have any skin reactions from it I will surely write about it, but so far so good. Anyway, it is called EXCELLA. It looks and tastes like sugar, and you can use it like sugar. I guess you could call it sugar from a tree instead of a sugar beet or cane sugar. It has less calories, so it is good for diabetics. The only thing is that it is quite expensive. Hopefully the price will come down as it sells more.

Laughter is healthy:

Two elderly gentlemen were sitting under a tree at the retirement home and one turns to the other and said,"Slim, I'm 83 years old and I am full of aches and pains, I know you are about my age, how do you feel?"

Slim said, "I feel just like a new born baby."

"Really? Just like a new born baby?"

"Yep. No hair, no teeth and I think I just wet my pants."

Some helpful suggestions.

Eat for the health of it.

We see the adds and we want to try the product they offer; we seek out a store and find the product, then we read the label, if the item contains MSG, HFCS, Aspartame, Chlorine, or Sucralose (and it is getting worse all the time,) you have to put it back. I feel like a puppet on a string, when it comes to deciding what to eat. It looks good and sounds good but when I reach for it the puppeteer yanks my strings, telling me I can't have that because it has those darn chemicals in it.

Using common sense is the best way; if you really like hotdogs, buy the very best and eat them only occasionally. Be sure to take a good dose of vitamin C after you eat hot dogs and luncheon meats. For sandwiches you would be better off eating peanut butter, cheese, fried eggs with cheese, or use leftover beef, chicken or pork with some mayonaise. You can add tomatoes, lettuce etc. As long as it's all natural.

Be careful of eating jams and jellies, read the label and check for HFCS. High fructose corn syrup takes the place of sugar in making jams and jellies and believe me, that is a lot of HFCS. If you have never made jams and jellies before, a batch of jam or jelly can take 5 to 7 cups of sugar to make the batch, so you are getting a lot of sugar when you eat jams and jellies but what is worse is when they use HFCS to replace that sugar. I use unbleached sugar, which helps a lot because you would not have the chemicals in it. HFCS is in so many things and it can damage the pancreas and these kids that are using so much of this in everything like catsup, baked goods, sodas, it's in bread and even fruit juices and canned foods. Just remember to read labels to see what you are eating. If we demand more natural foods, that's the only way it will happen.

Fructose is another safe sweetener, it is the syrup that is extracted from fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind if you are reading the labels that fructose is all right to use and so is corn syrup, it only turns bad when they add chemicals to it and it becomes High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Laughter is healthy: An elderly gentleman had a very serious hearing problem for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to fit him with a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear almost perfect. After a month, when he visited the doctor, the doctor stated, "Your hearing is close to perfect, what does your family say about that?"
"Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times already."


Some suggestions:

If you are having a colonoscopy; ask your doctor about using one of these cleansing agents; Miralax, Colyte, or Trilyte.

Children that watch TV for several hours a day are more apt to develope asthma, because of the inactivity.

Baby powder has carcinogens in it. Sometimes it is better to buy certain products at the health food store. Those little ones are so sensitive. When their bottoms break out, it could be from the powder.

If you have type 2 diabetes, it is necessary for you to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night.

Ginger is good for cancer patients; if they start taking it before they start their chemo.

BBP and other chemicals

Eat for the health of it.

I fear this BBP; it is getting so common now that everywhere you go you see plastic bottles, bags, and freezer containers. Check to make sure they are safe because the chemicals these products give off can cause a low sperm count, so if you are trying to have a baby and can't, you may want to check with your doctor. It can also interact with hormones. BBP is more dangerous than you might think.

It is very sad that our country has become a dumping ground for chemicals. What doesn't have chemicals in it or what hasn't been contaminated with them? Sadly that we have become so accustomed to all the new technologies and modern conveniences that we do not think of how many chemicals come along with the package. With all of the environmental toxins, the careless handling of industrial products, it has saturated our water supply and the very air we breathe. And take note of this: They are adding 3,000 chemicals to our food supply. Why? Don't you want to know why?

Many of these toxins are things that you cannot see, taste, feel or smell. The worst part of it all is that we will not know what it is doing to us until it is too late and we have cancer, or our lungs are ruined and even skin cancer can be boiling underneath the skin, in the tissues, and then, all of a sudden, it's there and it can be too late.

It is really hard to pinpoint a specific source of your illness because you could have any illness and the cause could be from a toxin that you could be breathing in for years. You could have chronic fatigue syndrome from chemical sensitivities, neurological problems and immune system disorders etc. It's not surprising when you see all of these statistics.

Laughter is healthy: I feel that my body has gotten completely out of shape, so I got my doctors permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.

More of the tibits

Eat for the health of it.

Have you burned yourself lately? Have you ever heated honey that has turned to sugar? Some people do not know that the crystillized honey can be salvaged by heating it. It's hot and you do not want to burn yourself with it and be careful of the plastic bottle that you are heating, it gets very hot too. With me I have burned myself numerous times, but recently burned my hand on some corningware. I bought a glass top stove and have gone back to using the corningware but I got rid of the clamp on handle. Now I get burned because I forget to use a pot holder. I use a concoction made with banana peels and apple cider vinegar. I take the peelings from 2 bananas, place them in a pint size jar, and cover them with apple cider vinegar.The banana peel will turn black, that's okay. Let them set a couple of days and then strain the liquid into a another jar. Cover it and keep it handy if you get burned. It works for me, but I am getting a little smarter about using the oven mitts. Be sure to cover all the area that is burned or you will have a sore spot.

I have heard that mustard is good for burns too. I haven't tried it yet. And one more thing is Elmers glue, I would guess that it would be just a small area but if you get burned, cool the burn with cold water, dry and cover the area with Elmers glue; be sure to cover all of the burn. When it dries, cover it again. and let it dry. For larger areas, I would recommend the banana peel and vinegar.

tidbits and other things

Eat for the health of it.

I could not believe it when a health food store manager told me that he could not sell my book in his store because I had a recipe in my book that called for corn syrup. He should take the time and read up on corn syrup. It has been used for years for babies formula, pancakes, I have used it in my coffee and I have recipes that call for corn syrup. I have used it for years with no reactions to it. I think they are confusing corn syrup with HFCS ( high fructose corn syrup.) You would think that a health food store would check all this out before condemning something that has been around for many years, with no problems. I have an article that goes through the whole process of the corn squeezings to adding the fructose, (fructose is a safe sweetener) and everything is okay until they added the chemicals to it, and then it turned bad. I am so allergic to HFCS that I break out all over my body if I eat something that has it in. In case you may be having a similar thing I will tell you my symptoms so it won't take as long to figure out what is causing these rashes. If I eat any amount of HFCS I break out with a very painful red rash on the trunk of my body, under my arms and under my breasts, and even the edges of my eyes crack and get sore.

I read an article where they said that Fructose is really good for diabetics, but no matter what it is you have to control your intake of any sweetener. Fructose occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables and their juices; as well as honey. It gives fruits their sweet taste. Fructose has been used for the last 20 years as a nutritious sweetener in foods and beverages. If you are skeptical about using corn syrup, there is a product at the health food store called Malitol. (It is expensive, but it is good for diabetics and for low-carb dieters). Another product that you may want to try is, Alaga cane syrup. I have not used either of these products because I just finished the last of my corn syrup. I may try one of these the next trip to the health food store. I have checked at the grocery store and you do have to watch out for the corn syrup, some of it does have HFCS in it. But I checked the Karo brand corn syrup and that did not have the HFCS in it and I hope they never put it in there either.

Laughter is healthy: A very cute story about a second grader.

The teacher always lets the children tell some little story and a little show and tell. They could tell whatever they wanted to tell.
One day, little Erica, a very smart little girl, walks right up to the front of her class with a pillow stuck under her sweater; she holds a picture up in the air of her new baby brother. She says, "This is Luke and I am going to tell you about his birthday." "First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months on the umbrella cord. About two Saturdays ago my Mom starts to yell, Oh, Oh, Oh,!"
Now this little kid starts doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning. "My Dad, called the middle wife. She delivers babies but she doesn't have a sign on her car like the pizza guy does. They got Mom to lie down in bed like this." Then Erica lies down on the floor with her back against the wall. "And then, POP! My Mom had this bag of water that she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!!" This kid has her legs all spread as her hands are miming a water fall, she goes on,"Then the middle wife starts to tell her to 'push,push' and 'breathe, breathe,' They started counting but they never got past ten. Then all of a sudden, out comes my brother, he was covered with yukky stuff, they said it was from Mom's play center, so there must be a lot of toys in side there." Erica took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. The teacher was just sorry that she did not have her camcorder.

health tips

Eat for the health of it.

Salt,

Why is it that they will tell you to cut down on your salt intake but they will never say that you should use Sea salt or Himalayan salt? These salts do not contain the non caking chemicals. It really makes the difference. The worst culprit is junk food or processed foods. Salt is a preservative but they should use Sea salt, or the Himalayan salt. I know that Himalayan is a little more expensive than Sea salt. Naturally the food processors are going for the least expensive but they should think ahead a little too. If all these people have problems with salt they will stop buying their product. I still can a lot of foods because so many canned foods have HFCS in them. I have always loved catsup but I can't buy it in the store because of the HFCS, so I have to can it. A lot of recipes call for Kosher salt, which is salt without the chemical.

How to lower Stress,

Stress is probably one of the worst things with your health. statistics show that about 75% of doctor visits are in someway related to stress. According to recent studies couples can lower each others stress by a simple massage on the neck, shoulders and back, three times a week for 20 to 30 minutes.

I read recently that a person that eats 7 eggs a day had an increased risk of getting type 2 diabetes. There has to be some other reason that the people in this study showed an increase in diabetes. Eggs are low carb I have been on the low carb diet, off and on for several years and I eat a lot of eggs and I do not have any signs of diabetes. My husband will not go on the low carb diet and he should because he is a diabetic. It would really help him but he likes to eat junk food. He likes cereal for breakfast and he likes the sugary kind the best.

Fish and mercury,

Researchers have found mercury in 50% of High Fructose Corn Syrup. They also found that the products contained .57mcg of mercury for every gram of HFCS. The chemical is highest in dairy products, dressings and condiments.

Cleaning chemicals,

They have put so many cleaning chemicals on the market that it really amazes me that we are not all dead from all the harmful crap. They have come out with so many new cleaning agents (Chemicals). It's really best if you use any, all natural cleaning agent on the market. Everyone should periodically go out side and take a deep breath of fresh air, hold it in for a few seconds and let it out slowly. This is especially for those who do not get outside to breathe that fresh air. I live in the country and I feel I am pretty lucky. I spend as much time out of doors as I can.
I just got an email today that told all about using WD-40 for cleaning almost everything and they claim the main ingredient in this product is FISH OIL. I do not know how safe it is to use but they claim you can use it on your knee joints.

Happy to have you following me. Comments at: http://grannycooks.blogspot.com

Laughter is healthy: Out of the mouth of babes.
As this grandma walked with her granddaughter, she stopped as the little one reached down to pick up her piece of candy that she had dropped and began to put it in her mouth, then the grandmother stopped her and told her that it was dirty now and it has germs on it.
The granddaughter looked at her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?"
She had to think quickly and answered, "It's on the grandma test. You have to know all this stuff or they don't let you be a grandma."
After a short silence the little girl looks at her grandma and says, "Oh! I get it!" She beamed and said, "Then if you don't pass the test you become the grandpa."
The grandma grinned and answered, "Exactly."

Sugar, Fruit sugar, Fructose.

Eat for the health of it.

I believe in eating anything that is all natural. Yes, and I do, if I like it. There really isn't too many things that I do not like. Maybe grits, but I would eat them if I had to. Things that are really good for you like fruits, you have to watch so you do not get too much sugar, especially if you are diabetic. Sugars in 100% fruit juices can quickly add up. Real fruit juice, whether store bought or fresh squeezed, has about eight full teaspoons of sugar in an eight ounce glass. This sugar is typically a fruit sugar called, fructose. And if you are a diabetic you will have to limit your intake of sugar in any form. Sucrose, which is regular table sugar, will also cause a major increase in insulin levels.

This doesn't mean you cannot have fruit and fruit juices; you just have to control the amount that you use. Fruit is better because when it is intact and whole, it's fibers will moderate the release of fructose and secondary insulin into your bloodstream. However, if you are overweight, have high blood preasure or high blood sugar levels, you would be wise to avoid most fruits and just stick with eating vegetable carbohydrates until you have these problems under control.

On a different note, sugar substitutes like saccharin (sweet and low), sucralose, (Splenda) and Aspartame, (Equal or Nutrasweet) should be avoided. Their negative health effects can easily exceed the sugars they are replacing. Some scientists, for instance, believe aspartame might cause alteredbrain function and behavior changes. The FDA has been inundated with consumer complaints about Aspartame, including Fibromyalgia symptoms, (and I was one of them) MS Symptoms, dizziness, headaches and menstrual problems.

Now they have Sucralose, another sugar substitute. First, they have not done a sufficient study of this chemical on humans and the study they did do was an animal study that showed sucralose caused a decrease in the size of the thymus glands, and caused liver and kidney enlargement, reduced growth rate, decreased red blood cell count, and decreased placenta and fetal body weights, and many others. Sucralose has been found to contain traces of pesticides, heavy metal such as lead, arsenic which will contaminate your body. And if you are trying to control your weight, there isn't a spect of evidence that any of these artificial sweeteners is even useful in weight reduction. Instead they are more apt to cause stimulation of your appetite.

Sugar is like an adiction; you crave it, you want sweet foods and drinks. I am not encouraging you to use sugar but if you really have to have sugar, use unbleached sugar, it's available in most grocery stores now. It isn't real pure white because it is not bleached and in most foods you cannot tell the difference, mostly lemonade and lemon pie. For these I suggest using fructose. I have no problem with fructose, I feel it is a safe natural product. The bleaching agent in sugar, I feel, is the worst part of the sugar. And there is Stevia, which is a calorie free, all natural sweetener that is taken from the Stevia plant. Stevia is grown in Paragua and Brazil and has been used for years to sweeten food and drinks.

You can also buy unbleached flour. And yes, if you didn't know it, they put a bleaching agent in the flour and sugar to make it white. I found that out when my whole body was covered with hives from drinking city water that has chlorine in it, (Unless they filter it out)If you live in the city, filter your water. If you have city water delivered to your systern or well, have a filter on your drinking water. Or you can purchase a small filtering piture.

Laughter is healthy: Funeral Procession:

A woman was leaving a convenient store with her morning coffee when she noticed an unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetary.

A long black hearse was followed by another long black hearse and behind the second hearse was a woman walking with a pit bull on a leash. Behind the lady with the dog was a trail of about 200 women walking in a single file.

The woman with the cup of coffee could not control her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman with the dog and said,"I am sorry for your loss and I know it is a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
"My husbands."
"What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."
She inquired, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered,"My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.

"Can I borrow your dog?"

"Get in line."

Oh, come on, it's just a joke.

chemicals, risks and source

Eat for the health of it.

The worst toxins are:

PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)This industrial chemical has been in the US for decades, yet is a persistant pollutant in our environment. I am very allergic to Chlorine, no matter where it comes from.

Risks are: cancer,and impaired fetal brain developement.)
Major source: Most farm raised salmon, accounts for most of the supply in the United States and are fed ground up fish that have absorbed PCBs in the environment and should be avoided.

Pesticides: According to the EPA a large percentage of herbicides and fungicides; known to be carcinogenic and yet alarmingly these pesticides are used on 50% to 95% of U.S. foods.

Risks: Cancer, Parkinson's disease, miscarriage, nerve damage, birth defects, and blocks absorbtion of food nutrients.

Major sources: Food (fruits, vegetables and commercial meats), bug sprays.

Mold and fungal toxins: One in three people have had a reaction to mold. Mycotoxins (fungal toxins)can cause a range of problems with exposure to even the slightest amount of exposure.

Phthalates: These chemicals are used to lengthen the life of soft plastic.

Risks:Endocrine system damage. Especially dangerous to children.

Major Source: Plastic wrap, plastic bottles; plastic food storage containers. All of the leak phthalates into your food.

VOCs Volatile Organic Compounds)

Risks: Cancer, eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, and memory impairment.

Major Source:Dioxins: Drinking water, carpeting, paints,deodorants, varnish, cosmetics, dry cleaned clothes,moth repellant and air fresheners.

Dioxins: Chemical compounds formed as a result of combustion, such as municipal waste incineration and from burning coal and oil.

Risks: Cancer, reproductive and developemental disorders, ( a severe skin disease with acne-like lesions)Skin rashes, skin discoloration, excessive body hair, and mild liver damage.

Major Source: Over 95% of exposure comes from animal fats.

Asbestos: This insolating material was widely used from the 1950s. Problems arise when the material becomes old and crumbly and released in the air.

Risks: Cancer, scarring of the lung tissue, mesothelioma (a form of cancer.)

Major Sources: Insulation on floors, ceilings, water pipes and ducts from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Heavy Metals: Metals like arsenic, mercury, lead, aluminum, which are prevalent
in many areas of our environment and can accumilate in the tissues of our body.

Risks: Cancer, neurological disorders,Alzheimers disease,fatigue, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rhythm.

Major Sources: Drinking water, fish, vaccines, pesticides antipersperents and building materials.

Chloroform: Colorless liquid has a pleasant smell, sweet taste and is used to make other chemicals.

Risks: Cancer,reproductive damage, birth defects, dizziness, fatigue, headache, liver and kidney damage.

Major source: Air, drinking water and food.

Chlorine: This highly toxic , yellow green gas is one of the most horrible chemical agents.

Risks: Sore throat, coughing, eye and skin irritation, rapid narrowing of the bronchi, wheezing, blue coloring of the skin, accumulation of fluid in the lungs, pain in the lungs, lung collaps, reactive airways dysfunction, (RADS), (a type of asthma)

Major Source: Household cleaners, drinking water, air when living near an industry, like a paper mill.

Laughter is healthy:

This couple had three little children and of course they loved them dearly. They also had a cat that the children loved and the middle child (Eli) was very fond of his mothers chapstick and would beg to use it but when it came time to use it herself she could never find it, She would ask Eli for it back but the little guy would say,"It's all gone."

One day as they were rushing around to go to church they looked around for Eli, and they found him in the bathroom with the cat, applying the chapstick to the cats rear end. Eli looked at his mom and said,"CHAPPED!!"

Unable to respond, the mother just stood and wondered, how many times did this happen?

You can't help but laugh at that. I will be out of town for the next couple days so I will not have a blog.

Risks of cancer causing chemicals

Eat for the health of it.

It is sad that our country has become a dumping ground for chemicals. What doesn't have chemicals in it? Sadly that we have become so accustomed to all the new technologies and modern conveiences that we do not think of how many chemicals came along with the package. With all the environmental toxins, the careless handling of industrial products, it has saturated our water supply and the very air that we breathe.

Many of these toxins are things that you cannot see, taste, feel or smell. The worst part of it is that we do not realize that we are affected until it is too late and we find out that we have cancer or our lungs are ruined and even skin cancer that may have been boiling underneath, coming from inside the body and all of a sudden it's there and it's too late.

It's hard to pinpoint a specific source of your illness because you could have any illness and the cause could be from a toxin that you have been breathing for years.You could have a chronic fatigue syndrome from chemical sensitivities, neurological problems and immune system disorders etc. It's no wonder when you see these statistics.

Some 77,000 chemicals are produced in America.
Over 3,000 chemicals are in our food supply.
More than 10,000 chemical solvents, emulsifiers and preservatives are used in our food processing.
And 1,000 new chemicals are introduced each year.

These chemicals end up being absorbed into our ground water, rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. It is spewed into the air we breathe, and added to our food supply. according to the British Journal of Medicine, 75% of all cancers are caused from exposure to these chemicals. According to Columbia University School of Health estimated that 95% of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity.

This doesn't surprise me one bit when you consider that we have between 400 and 800 chemicals stored in our bodies. The effects from these chemicals can cause:

Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's, depression, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, Cancer, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, enzyme disfunction, altered metabolism, reproductive disorders, fatigue, headaches, obesity, muscle soreness, vision problems, immune system disorder, allergies, asthma, chronic infection, and less ability to handle stress. And this is only touching the surface of what these chemicals can do to people.

Laughter is healthy: The snotty receptionist:
An older gentleman had an appointment with a urologist who happened to share the office with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients.
As he approached the receptionist desk he noticed that the receptionist was a loud and unfriendly person.

He gave her his name.

In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "Yes, I have your name here, you want to see the doctor about your impotence problem, right?

This turned every head in the room. Embarrassing the poor man.

He recovered very quickly and stated to her in return, "No, I've come to inquire about a sex change operation, but I do not want the same one that did yours."

Don't mess with old folks!

Salt or no salt

Eat for the health of it.

I have heard it for years, don't eat salt. Salt is necessary for life, you can not live without salt in your diet. They come out with some salt substitute that tastes terrible and is probably worse than the salt itself. It took me some time to figure it out but I finally realized that the regular table salt has a non caking additive to it so it doesn't get hard. Well I want to tell you a little secret, I have been using sea salt for a few years now and I have sea salt that is over a year old and do you know, it hasn't caked up yet. Now who came up with this crap that they have to put a chemical in salt to keep it from caking? Another lie to give them a reason to put chemicals in our food. I wonder why.???

Table salt is 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals, such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt causing the potential for a myriad of health problems. Right now I am using regular sea salt but I have read that the Himalayan chrystals are the best and I want to try them some day. Right now I feel using the regular sea salt is helping me a lot. I do get into trouble now and then when we eat out and the restaurant has not yet heard about sea salt or maybe doesn't want to change. They really should, to satisfy their customers. Sea salt is good for you.

Some people don't eat out because they have to watch their salt intake so much it makes it difficult. I try but I am not as bad as some people; their legs are so swollen, that they can hardly walk and if they would just try sea salt or this Himalayan salt; they would probably be surprised in the difference. Maybe they will read this.

Laughter is healthy: On one of Dr. Phil's programs, he proclaimed "The way to achieve inner piece is to finish all the things you started and never finished.
So, I looked around the house and found all the things I had started and never finished, I finished a partial bottle of Merlot, a bottle of white zinfandel,a part of a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream and a package of Oreos, a piece of cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. I'sa feelin' great!

Of course I didn't eat everything, I left a 1/2 box of chocolates for later.

Too late for the natural healer

Eat for the health of it.

My husband had prostate cancer quite a few years ago, before I got seriously into all natural eating. Of course it probably wouldn't have made any difference, because he doesn't know the first thing about all natural foods and doesn't care to. I cringe when I see him eat some of the foods he likes, corn curls or cheese curls, diet sodas and sodas loaded with HFCS, he loves fettuchine alfredo. He doesn't care much for vegetables and eats all kinds of sugary cereals, hot dogs, lunch meats and baked goods. If he goes shopping with me, somehow these strange foods end up in my cart at the checkout.

What I really am getting at is, if you have a bad eating habit and do not want to be sick all the time, check out some all natural foods and learn how to eat healthy, you just might live to be a hundred years old and if you do wouldn't you want to be in good health?

I was just reading an artical on prostate cancer and my husband asked why I was reading that because it was really too late for him now. I agreed with him and I told him that maybe I could help someone else out if I had a helpful solution.

Here is what I found, by using natural things like pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seeds are loaded with mineral zinc, the most important mineral found in your prostate tissues.
Zinc rich pumpkin seeds are also good for symptoms of osteoporosis.

Lycopene found in tomatoes are also good for prostate, eyesight, healthy blood, and a number of cancers. Other things you can try at a health food store are: Quercetin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract,Saw Palmetto Berry and I am sure there are more things that you can find and don't be afraid to ask for help to find them. It could save your life.

Her friend came to visit the new mother and the baby. After visiting with the mother for some time the friend became impatient and asked,"When can I see the baby?"
"Soon," she replied. But when another 20 minutes went by and she still had not seen the new baby, the visitor asked, "When can I see that baby?"
"Soon," she said. But the visitor became impatient and asked, "Will I be able to see that baby in the next few minutes, I will have to leave in a bit?"
"The new mom answered, "Yes, when he cries,"
"When he cries, why do I have to wait until he cries?"
"Because I forgot where I put him, okay??!!

Other types of 'sugar'.

Eat for the health of it.

Unbleached Beet sugar and unbleached cane sugar are not the only natural sweeteners; there is Fructose, which is found in fruit, some vegetables, honey, and other plants. Fructose and other sugars are carbohydrates, an important source of energy. Our food supply contains a variety of sugars. Glucose is the main source of energy for our body. Sucrose is equal parts of glucose and fructose, known as table sugar. Sucrose is found naturally in sugar cane and sugar beets.

Fructose does not increase blood glucose. Diabetics can often tolerate it better than other sugars. Excess weight usually occurs from eating way too much and not enough physical exercise. The rise in the number of obese people and the use of HFCS, occured about the same time giving us the suspition that it could very well have something to do with obesity. There is also the fact that we do not exercise as much as we should. Also keep in mind that they put HFCS in almost everything. I have a terrible time eating at some restaurants because I am allergic to Aspartame, MSG, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Chlorine in the city water, etc. I try to find restaurants that cook from the beginning and do not use all of these chemicals they are sticking in our food. I am very allergic to HFCS, Aspartame, MSG and chlorine in city water. (If you live in the city, you need to filter your water to get the chlorine out of it.) Keep in mind that corn syrup by itself and Fructose by itself is just fine but when they mixed the two with chemicals, it became a chemical (HFCS) and that is bad for you. I am happy that a few restaurants that still cook all natural.

It is a very interesting and true story.

Laughter is healthy: Toilet cleaning instructions:
1. Lift both lids and add 1/8 cup pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and pet him while heading for the bathroom.
3. In one smooth operation,put him in the toilet and close the lid.You may have to sit on it.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds.Never mind the noise,the cat is enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides a 'power wash and rinse.'
6. Have someone open your front door and be sure no one is in the path.
7. Stand out of the way and lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out the door and dry off outside.
9. Both the cat and the commode will be clean.

Of course I didn't do this, I don't own a cat.

God's Pharmacy

Eat for the health of it.

I think everyone should read this. A friend sent it to me so I am hoping you all send it on too.

It is said that God separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden,made animals and fish...all before making humans. He made what we needed before we were born. These are best and more powerful when eaten raw. We are such slow learners.

God left us clues as to what foods help what part of our bodies. Amazing! God's Pharmacy!

A slice of carrot looks like the human eye. And science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A tomato has four chambers and is red.The heart has four chambers and is red. Research shows that tomatoes are loaded with Lycopene which is pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster and has the shape of a heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell. Research shows that grapes are heart and blood vitalizing food.

A walnut looks like the brain. We now know that walnuts help to develope 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney beans actually do help to heal and maintain kidney function.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and others that look a lot like bones do actually strengthen bones.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears,target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female and they look like these organs. Research shows that when a woman eats one avacado a week, it balances hormones, and prevents cervical cancer. It takes nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow.Figs increase mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes looks like the pancreas and actually balnces the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives help in the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruit and Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the bodies cells. Research shows onions help clear waste materials from all the body cells. They even produce tears that wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

Garlic, helps eliminate waste material and dangerous free radicals from the body.

It is a very interesting, true story, to the end.

Laughter is healthy: Just a tap: A passenger in a taxi cab leaned forward and tapped the driver on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus,drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from a plate glass window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said,"I'm sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me." The frieghtened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten anyone that much.
The driver replied, "No,no I'm sorry, it's all my fault, today is my first day driving a cab....I have been driving a hearse for the past 25 years.

MSG in coffee??

Eat for the health of it.

Here I go on MSG again. That slow poison MSG is back in the lime light. For people who have not kept up with MSG, or maybe you are not bothered with it, but let me tell you that it doesn't matter whether you have a reaction from this slow poison or not right now, it will catch up with you sooner or later.

I am not happy about it but I think I am lucky that I am very allergic to this poison. MSG hides under 25 or more names, just so they can get away with using it.
Here are some of them: This one really gets me; Natural flavoring, they should say natural poisoning. It also hides under, Parmesan cheese, Amino Glutamic acid, Accent, Aginomoto, Autolyzed yeast Extract, Cenavis (Swiss, EUfood additive) (Code E621), Flavor enhancer 621, HS code 29224220 (IUPAC) name2-Amnopentanedioic Acid 1, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein,Hydrolyzed yeast, Marmite (Butane) New Zealand, Monosodium Glutamate, (MSG), Soy Extract, Soy Sauce, Vegemite (Austrailian and New Zealand) and Vetsin. These all are either names or codes for a very high amount of MSG or other free 'Glutamates'. It's sort of like using a by-product that should be discarded but someone decided that they could sell it and not caring about the danger.They genetically altered this crap then hid it under altered names. Shouldn't this alone tell us something? When someone has to hide something then there has to be something wrong with it.

However you want to look at it, (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) MSG is a slow poison. It is in Tim Hortons coffee, no wonder I don't go there anymore, I probably got sick the only time I was there and I never went back. Another chemical that could cause obesity, our people are getting so fat. When you add a man made chemical to your body and it tries to get along with the natural chemicals in your system, there is going to be chaos. You don't know what is going on it there.

These scientists injected rats and mice with MSG when they were first born and they created fat rats and mice, now the MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats and perhaps (humans) to become obese. They put this MSG in almost everything. And the kids eat this stuff every day. You can't get away from it unless you perposely eat all natural unaltered foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. I am even afraid of meats that are supposed to be fresh but some of them I really am not sure about because I have been noticing a strange smell that is emitted from meat as it is cooking. They have been talking of radiating meats and Oh Lord, I hope they do not do this.

Many studies that have been done mention the link between MSG and diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD, Alzheimers,etc. While the government officials know how bad this stuff is, they say nothing, aren't these people paid to protect us? To learn more go to www.pubmed.com and type in the words'MSG Obese' and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear there. Blowing the whistle on MSG is our duty as Americans.

Laughter is healthy: Three little boys were concerned because they couldn't get in with the crown and they decided it was because they were never baptised. One day they decided to go to a nearby church and they would find someone to baptise them. When they got into the church all they could find was the janitor. The boys were determined to go throw with it if he would help them. They explained the situation to the janitor and he decided to have some fun with them. He takes them into the bathroom and dunks their heads in the toilet stool, one at a time, then would say," You are now baptised." The boys left the church and stopped and looked at each other and they began to ask, "What religion are we?" The oldest says."We are not Kathlick, because they pour water on you." The nexk one says,"We're not Baptis, because they dunk all of you in the water." The next one continues with, "we aren't Methdiss either because they sprinkle water on you. "Then the littlest one asks, "Did you smell the water? I think that means we are Pisskopalians."
