Trying to avoid heart disease?

Eat for the health of it.

You may want to think twice before eating that low fat diet that the foodies are always telling you to eat. You do not have to keep your cholesterol down below 200 when it's not healthy for you. Low cholesterol can trigger a 'massive stroke' caused when the blood vessels in their brain is so weak, they burst open. Even moderately low cholesterol can raise a risk of these strokes. Why are doctors not notified of these findings? You can have a stroke whether your cholesterol is high or low. The real cause of heart disease is not eating enough red meat. Instead of cholesterol, the real culprit is Homocysteine. Cholesterol doesn't do anything unless it catches onto a ridge or a pit in your artery wall. and the secret cause of these cholesterol traps is homocysteine. Too much homocysteine and your arteries carrode like a rusty pipe.

You can cut down your homocysteine levels by taking viatmin B6 and B12 and of course the red meat. Forget what you were told about 'male' and 'female' hormones. Both men and women produce the same types of sex hormones. Healthy women produce more estrogen and progesterone while men produce more testosterone, but all of us need a little of all three to stay healthy. It may reverse osteoporosis, and it could cut breast cancer risk by 90%.

People think that testosterone causes heart disease. Research shows that it is a treatment and may prevent strokes. They even think that testosterone causes prostate disease, but studies show that swelling and cancer strike older men with declining testosterone levels. Treatment for impotence is Viagra While it can help, all natural testerone can make you feel and perform like a young man.

Laughter is healthy:

A man felt his wife wasn't hearing well. He wasn't sure how to approach her. He went to his family doctor and discussed the problem with him. He told him the simplest way to find out. The doctor said,"stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal tone of voice ask her a question. If she doesn't answer then get closer, like 30 feet, then 20 feet and we will see what happens."
That evening, the wife was in the kitchen fixing dinner when the husband starts his testing. At about 40 feet he asks his wife,"Dear, what is for dinner?" No response. He steps a little closer, maybe 30 feet away and he asks,"Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves near the dining room at about 20 feet, and asks,"Dear, what's for dinner?" Again, no response. He moves into the dining room at sbout 10 feet away and asks again, "What are we having for dinner?" No response, so he sidles right up behind her and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
(I just love this.)

"Ralph for the fifth time, we are having chicken." (Doesn't this ring a bell?)

More farce

Eat for the health of it.

Where do they get the idea that high fat diets causes breast cancer? Over several of research and studying of more than 88,000 women over 14 years,found absolutely no evidence that links a high fat diet with breast cancer.Nor is there any proof that a low fat diet will protect you from getting cancer either. In fact, women who ate the least fat diet got cancer more often. Yet of all the cancer myths today, non has killed more innocent people than one particular murderous hoax.Someone started the hoax that DDT caused cancer.DDT is not hazardous to man, fish, birds or wildlife. The witch hunt against DDT hasn't saved one peregrin falcon, but it has caused the death of many children of the tropical nations, who continue to die from malaria, dengue fever,yellow fever and other mosquito born plagues. Makes you wonder how many other hoaxes and falsehoods, have been passed on.
Listen to this.
Mammography and the PSA tests are not fool proof tests to find hidden cancers.

The test more likely to detect and defeat nearly any cancer is the AMAS and nothing else comes close to it. If you find prostate cancer early, you have a 99% chance for a cure.The test is done by a blood sample and they screen it for Anti-Malignan Antibody (AMAS)and there is no more squeezing the breast or poking around you-know-where.

Laughter is healthy:Drapery Rods
I love this one.
When the divorce was finalized and the ex-wife had to move from the house because the ex-husband got the house in the agreement. The ex-wife enjoyed he last meal at the house. Earlier she had purchased shrimp, caviar and a bottle of water for the occasion. When she had finished her meal she took the shrimp tails and the caviar and removed the curtains from the windows and she carefully stuck the shrimp and caviar into the rods and rehung them. She finished cleaning the leftovers and pulled the door shut behind her.

A couple of days went buy and the ex-husband and his girlfriend moved in. Noticing a strange odor, they cleaned the house thoroughly but the odor only seemed to get worse. After a few days they gave up on it because noone would come over to see them and they decided to sell the house and move elsewhere. Then the realtors refused to show the house, because noone would even look at it when they smelled it.

On day the ex-wife ran into her ex-husband at the super market and she asked how things were going and he explained the problem with the house and she told him that she would really love to have the house if he would reduce the price a lot and she was sure she wouldn't mind a little stale odor. Her ex husband, thinking she was so naive that she would buy the house, made a good deal with her.

The papers were rushed through and she moved back into her house while her exhusband and his girlfriend watched with a silly grin on their faces. As she entered her house, she also had a smirk on her face as she noticed that they had taken everything, including the curtain rods.

Where does all of this farce come from?

Eat for the health of it.

In studies done all over the world, it has been proven time and time again that sunshine does not cause cancer. And the more sunshine you get the less chance that you will get skin cancer. The farmers have been working in fields for years and that was back before they had all this air-conditioned tractor cabs and back when I worked in the fields hoeing the weeds in the rows that the cultivator missed. I planted and picked tomatoes. I worked out there several hours a day and I was careful not to get burned and I didn't get skin cancer and niether did any of the farmers that I knew. I am afraid to use this stuff they have for skin that is supposed to keep you from burning. What is that miracle stuff that they put in there? Isn't it a chemical? If anyone could see what chemicals do to me, I really don't think anyone would want to use chemicals in anything. I know our bodies harbour chemicals but these are our own natural chemicals, our system is used to them but when you start putting unfamiliar chemicals in there, like when you eat something with MSG, Aspartame, HFCS, and others, your system does not recognize these strangers and your system retaliates. Now I consider myself lucky that my system reacts by stirring up these little allergens in my body and I have terrible allergic reactions. Maybe I was chosen so that I could write these blogs and tell you, (WARN) you about the dangers of eating these chemicals. Maybe you don't react to chemicals but that doesn't mean that you are not going to have some type of side effects. Maybe your body is building up cancer cells instead of warning you with a rash or hives like it does to me.

What about Electric Blankets? Is it true that they cause cancer? I cannot think that this could be true because how many other devices do we have that is electric and I don't think they cause cancer either. More than 500 studies have been done on electric blankets and not one shed of evidence that electric blankets can cause cancer. Plug it in! Go snuggle up in your electric blanket.

your heart and cold water.

Eat for the health of it.

This is fitting to my blog last night.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is for you. Most people want to have a nice cold drink after their meal but truthfully you would be much better off if you had a warm drink of some sort. Maybe you should have the cup of soup after your meal instead of before.

However, the icy cold drink of water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once the sludge reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestines faster than the solid foods. It will line the intestine and very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF HEART ATTACKS...

A serious note about heart attacks, you should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of your first heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have heart attacks while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. The more we know the better chance of survival.

a cardiologist says that if each person that reads this and sends it on, we surely can save someones life. Please sent this on. I just did...

A way to a man's heart is through his stomach and if you want him to be healthy you have to feed him the food that was given to us a long time ago, not the chemically treated crap.

Little Sarah was sitting on the bed, watching her daddy pack his suitcase for a business trip. She bounced on the bed and giggled and she held up two fingers and said," Look daddy." Daddy grabbed her fingers and said,"I am going to eat your fingers," as he put them in his mouth and pretended to eat them. She pulled her hand away and looked at it. Daddy asked,"What's wrong honey?" She looked straight in her daddy's eyes and asked,"Where's my booger?"

How much water is good to drink?

Eat for the health of it.

How many people actually drink 8 glasses of water every day? If that's all you drink is water, I suppose you could. I like my tea, coffee, and I make a few of my own drinks that are good for you too. I like to drink enough of some kind of liquid. I had a urinary tract infection a couple of times and I don't want to do get that again. If I feel that coming on, I drink water with about 10 drops of colloidal silver in it, three times a day.

I have heard of a few cases of people drinking too much water and having serious problems. Such as, an overall lowering of the body temperature, and a decrease in function of the gastrointestinal tract. One lady wanted to lose weight and she was drinking, 2-two litre bottles every day and she lost 11 pounds the first week. She got very sick and died.

This has happened to a lady that entered a water drinking contest. She ended up dying too. When you drink water too fast, especially ice water, it is a shock to your system.

Another man fishing in the hot sun, decided to go for a swim to cool off but the fast change in the body temperature, Hypothermia, a potentially fatal condition, causing his heart to go into shock. He died.

You have to drink water if you are working outside like a builder, farmer, or just mowing lawn or weeding the flower bed, but just drink water slowly and don't put a lot of ice in it, to be on the safe side.

Another problem you have with the water in the city, is if you do not have a reverse osmosis on your drinking water, you also will be drinking Flouride. Who's idea was it to put Flouride in our drinking water? Scandenavia, all of Europe and every other medically advanced nation has banned the use of Flouride. Flouride makes your body absorb aluminum, and aluminum goes straight to the brain. Aluminum is what shows up in the brains of Alzheimers victims.

Laughter is healthy: Retarded Grandparents

After Christmas, the teacher asked her students to write how they spent their Christmas vacation.

A child wrote the following:

We always used to spend Christmas with grandpa and grandma. They used to live in a big brick house, but grandpa got retarded so they moved to Florida. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass.

They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a place called the wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it's all okay now. They do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but all they do is jump up and down in it with hats on.

At the gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so that nobody escapes. Sometimes they sneak out and, go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.

And they eat the same thing every night---early birds.Some people can't get out past the guy in the doll house.The ones who get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck instead of birds.

My grandma said that grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work real hard so I can be retarded someday too.

When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house.Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.

don't freeze in plastic

Eat for the health of it.

I am passing this information on from Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer.Especially breast cancer. Do not freeze your plastic bottles of water as this releases dioxin in the plastic.

Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.)He is talking about dioxin and how bad they are for us. He says that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately in the cells of the body. Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.

Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, without the dioxin.

So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc.,should be removed from the containers and heated in something like glass or corning ware.

Even paper plates etc., is questionable because you don't know what is in the paper product. It's just safer to use glass or corning ware.

He reminds us of when the fast food restaurants were using the sterofoam products to paper products. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

To add to this: Saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisoness toxins into the food, use paper towels.

Myself, I seldom use my microwave. The smell of some food from a microwave turns my stomach, especially bacon. I would rather take a few minutes longer and heat it on the stove.

I take leftover pizza and put it in a large skillet with a teaspoon of butter(let it melt in the skillet) on a lower heat with a cover on it. The pizza will be as good as fresh. So it takes a few minutes longer. By the time you get your plate and silverware ready and a drink, your pizza will be warmed through.

Laughter is healthy:

A guy named Bob receives a free ticket to the Super Bowl from his company. Unfortunately, when Bob gets to the game, he realizes that his seat is in the last row of the stadium-he's closer to the Goodyear blimp than the field.

About halfway through the first quarter, Bob notices an empty seat 10 rows off the field, right on the fifty yard line. He decides to take a chance and makes his way through the stadium and around the security guards to the empty seat.

As he sits down he asks the gentleman next to him,"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" The man answered,"No."

Now, very excited to be in such a great seat for the game, Bob again inquires of the man next to him, "This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at the Super Bowl and not use it?"

The man replies, "Well, actually, the seat still, belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't been at together since we got married in 1967."

"Well that's really sad." says Bob, "but still, couldn't you find someone to take the seat? A relative or close friend?"

"No," the man replies, "they're all at the funeral."

Eat your veggies

Eat for the health of it.

How many times have you heard that, "Eat your vegetables, they're good for you". That's the truth but you do need other nourishment too. I am not discouraging eating vegetables but these people that think they are healthier by eating only vegetables are not. As a matter of fact the information on this subject states that Vegetarians die younger, Vegetarians children are sicklier and are at a higher risk for impaired psychomotor developement. You would think that vegetables would make you more regular, but, it doesn't. Even teenagers that are vegetarians, use laxatives. And it is bad on your sex life, because it leaves you weak from muscle loss and bone damage.

Go ahead and drink your coffee, now it's good for you. If you drink 2-3 cups a day, you are less likely to have gall stones. Drink 4 cups a day and you reduce the risk of colon cancer. Just one cup a day packs the same antioxident power as 3 fresh oranges.

If you smoke, keep drinking the coffee, it may protect smokers from bladder cancer.

Laughter is healthy:Don't lay your cell phone down

Several men were in the locker room after a game of golf at the club. A cell phone, lying on a bench, began to ring.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the mall and I found this lovely leather coat. It's only $1000. May I buy it?"
MAN:"Sure, if you like it that much."
WOMAN: I also stopped at the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2009 models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$90,000"
MAN: "OK, but for that price, I want all of the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh! and one more thing, the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They are asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, okay, but offer them $900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the other $50,000.
WOMAN: OK, I'll see you later. I love you so much."
MAN: "Bye, I love you too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.

He turns and asks: "Anyone know who's phone this is?"

Do people nag you?

Eat for the health of it.

Do you have people yapping at you all the time? "You shouldn't lay out in the sun." I want to know why. I know we need Vitamin D. How will we get it if we don't go in the sunshine? I love it. I was in a bad accident 24 years ago and I broke my back (crushed the 6th thoracic vertebrae,) ruptured 4 discs in my neck and I have a herniated disc in my low back. I was told that I would be in a wheel chair within two years. I wore a brace up to about 6 months ago to help keep me walking straight. I just could not see myself fixed in a wheelchair. Believe me I prayed. A lot. I do use a store wheel chair or at times that I have to walk a lot, but for most of the time I walk when I can and I have a golf cart to get me around the farm.

I think what really helps the pain is the sunshine. I lay out whenever I can. I do not let myself get burned. I do not use sunscreen because I believe that is what causes cancer, not the sun, like we are led to believe.

I always say,"everything in moderation and it's okay." There is nothing wrong with having a drink of alcohol, but too much and you're stupid. If you eat way too much, you are going to be fat. I have even read that you can drink too much water. I know it sounds kinda dumb but your system can process just so much at a time. Did your mother ever tell you not to eat too many cookies or you'll be sick? How about these people that exercise religiously every day? They are running and some of them; you almost want to offer them a ride. They look and act like they are in pain. I swim a lot and I also do a lot of water arobics, but, I don't think that is as hard on your body as running is. I do stay active, but a runner, I am not.

Laughter is healthy: True Love?

Two buddies that had been separated for years by job opertunities and such, were suddenly reunited. As they sat talking in the married couples home waiting for the meal to be served the fellow noticed that whenever the other mans wife would ask a question he would always answer,'yes, my love,or darling,Sweetheart etc.
The visitor was watching closely as the man always answered her with a pet name.
He waited until the woman left the room for more food then he commented," I think it's wonderful that you still call your wife those loving pet names." The old man hung his head and admitted,"I have to tell you the truth, about ten years ago, her name slipped my mind and I'm scared to death to ask the old bitch what it is."

Meats or not

Eat for the health of it.

Some say eating meats of any kind is bad for you. Some say that all vegetable diets are bad for you. What can we believe? Vegetables are good for you but you do need a protein source. Be sure to add fish and other seafoods to your diet too.

I look at it this way, if I eat everything that is all natural, I should be safe. I buy Amish chickens or the all natural chicken in the grocery store. I just take it for ganted that it is safe. I used to raise my own chickens and that is the best. It took me a long time to be able to eat other chickens. I will say that the Amish and all natural are about as close as you will get to your own farm raised.

If you go on a low carb diet, you will have to eat meat. I really like the low carb diet because you can eat a lot if you stay low on the carbs and a lot of times the problem people have with dieting is that they are always hungry, but not with the low carb because you can just eat some more, meat, eggs, fish or cheese and you have no carbs. Get a carb counter book, like Dr. Adkins, it will list everything you can have and you do need to have about 35 carbs a day or you will feel weak. For sweetening drinks like a lemon water drink, just add a few drops of Stevia. Stevia is all natural sweetener and no calories. (1 TBLS. lemon juice in a glass of water with a pinch of sea salt and 4-6 drops of stevia. Make it to taste.

If you have never tried low carb, like for breakfast you can eat as many eggs as you want, fried, scrambled or boiled. You can make them develed but use mayonnaise opposed to salad dressing because salad dressing has carbs and mayonnaise does not. You can eat meat, all you want unless it's breaded, (breading has carbs)I suggest fresh ground pork and add your own seasonings, make patties and fry them.

I think it's a very good diet because it's letting you eat all natural foods.

Laughter is healthy:

I was standing in line with my bag of dog food, when the lady behind me asked if I had a dog. Thinking that it was a rather silly question to ask and I was tired of standing in line, I decided to have some fun with her so I said,"No, I am just starting this dog food diet."
She looked at me, not knowing what to say, so I continued,"I probably shouldn't do it because the last time I ended up in the hospital, but I did lose fifty pounds, before I ended up in the hospital with tubes coming out of me all over." The woman stood with her mouth hanging open and I couldn't stop myself from continuing with my story and everyone else in line was listening intently. I continued,"It is a perfectly good diet and it's nutritious, I simply load my pockets with the dog food and when I feel hungry I chew on a couple of the nuggets." Horrified, she asked if I ended up in the hospital from eating the dog food. I answered,"No, I stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish setter and a car hit both of us."

Don't mess with older people they have too much time on their hands and they can think of the craziest things to say.

Beware of the bad dog

Eat for the health of it.
Beware of the bad dog!!

If that didn't bother you then probably nothing does.I have talked to a lot of people about eating healthy and I will say that most people are interested and they listen, but what they do when they get home - I have no idea.

I remember one lady that responded to me, "We're living too long anyway." How ignorant can anyone be? I want to live a long time, maybe even to 100,but most of all I want to be healthy. I want to live, not just exist and I want to feel good if I do live that long. Apparently this woman thinks she can do whatever she wants and eat however she wants and she can die whenever she wants. She probably thinks that they will have a cure for whatever ails her and whenever she wants to die, she can.

I just like to point out to people that it will make a difference in your health if you watch what you eat. I have seen people eat hot dogs and or bologna sandwiches, day after day. The kids like that. It's okay to eat hot dogs now and then but all of your lunch meats and hot dogs are processed. They are loaded with salt and the salt they use has a chemical added to it, to keep it from caking,so they say. Now I buy sea salt by the ten pound package and it lasts me a long time and I have never seen it to cake up. I have used sea salt for years and it doesn't make my hands and feet swell. Another good salt is the Hymalayan salt.

It just makes you wonder why they have to put chemicals in any of our foods. The only thing I can think of is that when they add the chemical, it becomes a product or a controlled substance. It's not right.

Laughter is healthy: Garden snakes can be dangerous:

Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes, here's why.
A couple that had a lot of plants and they brought them in durring a frost to keep them from freezing. One of the little grass snakes slithered out when it got warmed up inside. The wife saw it slither under the couch. She let out a scream. Her husband was taking a shower and ran naked into the living room to see why his wife was screaming. She said, "there is a snake under the couch." He got down to look for the snake and the dog cold nosed him on the behind and he thoght the snake had bit him and he yelled and fell on the floor.
His wife thought he had a heart attack, she called the ambulance. The attendants, ignoring his protests started to carry him out. The snake appeared from under the couch and the EMT saw it and droppedhis end of the stretcher. Then the patient broke his leg and ended up in the hospital.
The wife still had the problem with the snake and she called a neighbor who volenteered to catch the snake.after checking everything over he told her that the snake had apparently left the house. She sat on the couch and as her hand settled between the cushions it touched the snake. She screamed and fainted and the snake went back under the couch. The neighbor tried CPR to revive her. The neighbors wife returned from shopping and caught her husband giving the lady CPR and hit him with a bag of canned goods, so he needed stitches. By that time the lady of the house woke up and saw the mans wife leaning over him and assumed that he had gotten bit and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of whisky and began to pour the whisky on the neighbor as he lay there.
By now the police had arrived, they saw the man passed out and smelled the whisky and assumed a fight had occurred.The police were about to arrest him when the woman tried to explain what had happened. The police calledan ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his wife. The snake returned to the scene and thew polceman shot at the snake; he missed the snake and hit the leg of the table, the table fell over,and the lamp shattered and broke the bulb which caught the curtains on fire. The officer tried to put out the fire and fell through the window onto the family dog and the dog ran into the street and a car swerved to miss it and hit the police car.
The neighbors saw the fire and called the fire depatment, who tore down the lines and disconected the phones in a ten square city block.
When all was well and back to normal and the weatherman predicted a frost, the wife asked her husband if they should bring in the plants.

She's not well yet.

Are you sleep deprived?

Eat for the health of it.

With the world problems and the stress of everyday living, it's no wonder we have such a hard time sleeping. It is a possability that you could have sleep apnea, that's where the tissue in the back of your throat collapses and blocks the airway while you sleep, causing you to stop breathing. This is more prevalent in middle aged and older men, and some women. If you do not know if you snore, your partner will let you know. Surgery may be suggested. The most successful device is the CPAP machine. This will be ordered after a sleep study has been done.

DONT'S: Before you go to bed.

Don't drink caffienated coffee, or other caffienated products.
Don't bring up problems, try to solve them earlier.
Don't exercise just before bedtime.
Don't go to bed on a full stomach.
Don't take sleeping pills unless you absolutely have to, they more than likely will leave you groggy the next day.

DO'S before bedtime.

Do relax with a warm bath.
Do make the bedroom dark.
Do get in the habit of going to bed at the same time each night.
Do use your bedroom for sleep and intimacy only.
Do eat early, about 2 to 3 hours before you go to bed.

Thanks for following my blogs, sorry I missed a few days.

Laughter is healthy: The love story of Ralph and Edna

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna were both patients at a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promply jumped into the pool and saved him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Directer became aware of the heroic act she had done, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the good news, she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you are being discharged, since you were able to respond to a crisis by jumping in the pool and saving the life of someone you love. I conclude that your act dispays sound mindedness. The bad news is that Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he is dead."
Edna replied,"He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

I hope you missed me. I cannot believe this past week. My kids bought me a new computer and it has been a nightmare for me. I know nothing of setting them all up and I live in the country which creates a problem because you have to have dial up and for some goofy reason it would not work.

where have I been?

Eat for the health of it.

At my family reunion. We are very fortunate that all 11 of us kids were there again this year. Some have spouses and some don't. Some of the kids from each family were there. I can't remember if anyone took names or not, so I am not sure of the count.

Do you remember the song, Kin folks a comin', they're comin' by the dozen, they're eatin' everything from soup to hay, and right after dinner they ain't lookin' any thinner and this is what you hear them say, Ya'all come, ya'all come, ya'all come to see us now and then. There was a lot of them and we were together for 4 days and we'er still on friendly terms and planning for next year. We're not sure about ma though, she is 92 years old and even though we keep thinking she will live to be 100 you just never know for sure.

Our family is real spread out from Alaska, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,and Florida part time, the offsprings live in Texas, California, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Idaho

I hope to be back regular again.

Missing the point

Eat for the health of it.

Can you imagine that a past president of the American Dietetic Association and director of nutrition at a major university, who I say should know better than to come to the conclusion that if you choose organically grown foods over conventionally grown foods, that there os no difference which one you choose because the nutritional value is still there and he claims that they will still be meeting their traditional needs. I think a five year old child could tell you what is wrong with this picture.

Has he ever heard of chemicals? Apparently he has not. I will explain. The idea of organically grown foods is that people like me who is very allergic to these chemicals and pesticides, and other people who want to be healthy and not eat these poisons, can have a choice to eat organically grown foods. I am sure, by talking to people that most of them have serious thoughts that these chemicals are causing all sorts of major illnesses, like cancer. When I look at the scars I have from eating foods with chemicals in them, I can imagine that these chemicals can cause cancer and other illnesses, especially if they stay inside of your body. I feel I may be lucky that I do break out externally and I can figure out what I am allergic to. If you don't have a reaction, naturally you would think that there is nothing wrong with what you eat. Just keep in mind that these chemicals stay in your body for quite a while, and what do you think they are doing in there? Probably lying around and building up force. All of a sudden you're sick and you don't know why. It can be years before you find out you have a permanent illness.

I am sure that most people have a pretty good idea that these chemicals are causing major illnesses. If you think back to when they started to use chemicals and add a few years so the chemicals have a chance to take tole on their victims; anyone can figure that out. The ones that allow these chemicals in our food supply just do not want to admit it.

The idea of having organically grown foods is they cannot use the bad chemicals, like pesticides and herbicides. They have laws that govern what can and cannot be used on organic foods. A study that was done on children who ate conventionally grown foods had traces of pesticides in their urine. Can you imagine the poisons that can be spread all over our foods that we eat everyday? When these same children ate organic foods, their pesticide levels dropped after a few days.

As usual, when wrongs try to become right, there is always a bad side, like now the FDA wants to radiate our food, WHOLLY MOLLY, that may kill the bacteria from E-coli and salmonella, but it also kills the food value. What are they thinking? Did they ever think that they could take soap and water to wash most fruits, then rinse them? Another thing they could do is use water and apple cider vinegar, and wash then rinse with fresh water. I have been doing that for years already.At least the food would not be harmed like it would be if you zapped it with radiation. Vinegar is a good source of bacteria fighter. You can even drink a little vinegar after your meal in case you ate something not so good and if you feel that it could have been spoiled. If it didn't taste good, I wouldn't eat it but sometimes there is just maybe an odd taste and it would be good to use the vinegar.

DO WE WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON EATING DIRTY FOODS(which we can wash ourselves but it would be nutritional) or DO WE WANT ALL OF OUR FOODS TO BE ZAPPED WITH RADIATION?) This is so sick, it shouldn't even be a question. I hope the organic gardener continues, I am sure they will be kept busy.

Todays foods have been so processed that the magnesium and countless vitamins and minterals have been processed out, like prepared, packaged meals. We definately should eat more all natural, unprocessed foods. Eat organically.

Laughter is healthy: Cut out the middle man:

A father who always preached to his sons; Cut out the middle man, go direct. For years he would tell them that. One day when his sons came to visit and they were sitting on the porch in heavy discussion; suddenly the father grasps his chest as he slumps to the floor. He tells his sons," Call the ambulance," The sons go into the house and after awhile they return to the porch where they're father is still clutching his chest. He asks,"Did you call the ambulance?" The sons said, "No dad, we called the undertaker, you always said to cut out the middle man."

Safty precautions

Eat for the health of it.

At some time during your lifetime I am sure you have experienced some sort of cold, with coughing and sneezing with mucous and runny nose, sinus infection, blocked bronchial tubes, scratchy sore throat and we all have had a cold or the flu. Some may even have had a more serious problem like brochitis, emphazema, asthma, chronic pulmanary disease or respiratory infection. You're not alone, as a matter of fact there has been an increase of serious lung problems in the US. Mostly from environmental hazards. They attack lungs, nasal passages, sinuses and the bronchial tubes. If these are not taken care of they can become a more serious problem and it could shorten your life.

We have enjoyed the good life with all the bells and whistles. It's easy to buy an aerosol can and spray, to kill bugs, or paint something or freshen the air, not even giving it a second thought about the polutants we receive from those pressure powered cans. Inhaling these fumes can cause inflamation of lung tissue even if you are healthy. It can bring on an asthma attack, some requiring hospitalization. It can damage the airway to the lungs. Risk of cancer to the lungs. ( When chemicals constantly invade your vital organs, that can cause cancer). The same with exhaust from automobiles and trucks, chemical emissions from factories and smoke from burning landfills. These fumes can get into your lungs and cause many problems.

Allergies are going rampant in the US, even in healthy people and healthy people may be more suseptible to have an allergic reaction, because if you are healthy, that means that you eat foods that are not altered in any way, then by adding chemicals like MSG, Aspartame, Sucralose, High Fructose Corn Syrup and Splenda,etc. Your system is not used to these chemicals, then your system tries to reject them and it retaliates by having a reaction. You could have hives, cramps and diarrhia, itchy eyes, painful abrasions under your arms and other warm areas of your body. You can have chest pain, heart palpatations, warts and moles and many other reactions. I know this to be true because I have been there and done that. I am allergic to all of the chemicals they put in our food supply and whatever they say, that it doesn't harm you, they don't know what they are talking about. I have scars and moles all over my body from these poisons that they have added to our food supply.

Right or wrong, will we ever know?

Eat for the health of it.

Some researchers say that a vegetarian diet is better, some say the Low Carb is better, some say count calories, some say drink eight full glasses of water a day some say, oh no, as long as you eat fruits and veggies, which you can count as a liquid, and drink whatever else you want to drink. If it's wet, count it. I think that any of the above will be pretty good, but what I would look for more than anything is; if it is All Natural.

When you put chemicals in your system it plays havoc with your natural chemicals. Let's just say they fight against one another. Your natural chemicals don't want those artificial pests in there. You don't feel good and you don't know why. The allergens try to fight off these invaders in your body and causes a reaction on your skin. Hives, rash, pimples, painful rash like a razor cut and sores, they even cause moles and warts. Some of the moles will dissapear, some will fall off, some will turn hard and dry up, some will leave scars. Your eyes may burn and itch. These are all allergic reactions to chemicals that they put in our food. How do I know this? Because I am allergic to these chemicals and I am going through this now. It has been a long struggle for me to find out which of these chemicals cause what reaction but I do know.

For the life of me, I have not figured out why they have to put chemicals in our food. I know a lot of food tasted better without it. If you look back and think when Cancer became well known and a lot of other strange diseases and illnesses popped up all over. Well, it was about that time when the chemicals were added to our food. I don't remember the year but someone decided to add a bleaching agent to our flour and sugar. They put Chlorine in the water. They started to add MSG to our food and it wasn't just the Chinese food either, it was in a lot of American restaurants, the Aspartame showed up in drinks of all kinds, and chewing gum and now the High Fructose Corn Syrup, and remember it is in almost everything.

I recall when my dad was diagnosed with cancer, I didn't know anyone with cancer at that time and I was devistated. My dad worked with chemicals and we figured that it was the reason he got cancer. Chemicals can cause all kinds of problems.

GO BANANAS

Eat for the health of it.

When you eat a banana, you are getting three natural sugars, sucrose, glucose and fructose, combining that with a little fibre the banana gives you a boost of energy. I wondered why I always feel good after I eat a banana. If you eat 2 bananas, it will give enough energy to work for 90 minutes. I can see why the athletes are always eating bananas, I thought maybe they were easier to carry. Who knew? My kids were in track and I was always buying bananas. A banana can help you overcome an illness so it is good to eat one every day.
Depression: Some people who had been diagnosed with depression have claimed to feeling better after eating a banana. Bananas contain tryptophan, a protein that converts into serotonin, which can make you relax.
PMS: Forget the pills-eat a banana. A banana contains vitamin B6 which regulates blood glucose levels and can affect your mood.
Anemia: Bananas are high in iron which stimulates the production of hemoglobin in the blood and helps in the case of anemia.
Blood Preasure: High in potassium yet low in salt. recommended to reduce the risk of blood preasure and stroke.
Brain Power: Research has shown that the potassium in bananas can assist in learning by making children more allert.
Constipation: Bananas are high in fiber and will help restore normal bowel movement.
Hangovers: Make a banana milkshake with some honey in it and drink it for a hangover.The banana calms the stomach and the honey builds up the depleted blood sugar levels.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body. If you have heartburn, eat a banana.
Morning sickness: Try eating a banana.
Mosquito bites: Try using the soft white stuff inside of the banana peal to put on mosquito bites.
Nerves: Bananas are high in vitaminB and helps to calm the nerves.
Overweight: Eat a banana instead of gorging yourself with junk food.
Ulcers:A banana is used as a dietary food against intestinal disorders. It also neutralizes over acidity.Bananas can also help people who are SAD.
Smoking: Eat a banana instead.
Stress: Helps normalize heartbeat, helps the body to recover from the nicotine.
Strokes: Eating a banana can cut the risk of death due to a stroke by 40%.
When comparing a banana to an apple it has 4 times the protein.( I am not knocking the apple)twice the carbs.3 times the phosphorus, 5 times the vitamin A and Iron.And twice the other vitamins and minerals. Also rich in potassium. Maybe the phrase should say A banana a day keeps the doctor away, but if you eat an apple too that would be even better.

Kiss my Aspartame

Eat for the health of it.

I have been asked to print this artical and send it on.
Claim. The artificial sweetener, Aspartame, has been proved responsible for an epidemic of cancer, brain tumors and multiple sclerosis.

The person that wrote this artical spent several days at the World Environmental Conference on "Aspartame marketed as 'Nutrasweet', and Spoonful"'. In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what toxin was causing this to be rampant accross the US. This person explained that they were there to lecture on exactly that subject.
When the temerature of Aspartame exceeds 86degrees F, the wood alcohol Aspartame converts to formalehyde and the to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants). The methonal toxicity mimics mutiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methonal toxicity is.
In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially diet coke and diet Pepsi drinkers. Also, with methonal toxicity, the victoms usually drink three to four 12 ounce cans of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is triggered by Asparatame, the victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. The victim continues its use, aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that sometimes it becomes life theatening.
When we get people off the aspartame, those with sytemic lupus usually become asymptomatic. Unfortionately, we can not reverse the disease. On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitis. Durring the lecture it was stated that, "if you are using Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc.) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, shooting pains, spasms, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitis, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speach, blurred vision, or memory loss-you probably have Aspartame disease.

People were jumping up and saying they had a lot of these symptoms. Some of the speakers were complaining of these symptoms too. In one lecture the Ambassadore of Uganda, said that their sugar industry was adding aspartame. He added that one of the leaders son could no longer walk- due in part to the product usage.
A question was asked, "Why are so many people getting MS?"

There were 100 different products that contained Aspartame, now there are over 5000.
I have mentioned before about the sodas that were left in the sun and the heat caused the Aspartame to convert to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is in the same group as cyanide and asenic, deadly poisins.

There is not a reason for anyone to drink this product because it does not cause you to lose weight. The formalehyde stores in the fat cells, particulary in the hips and thighs.
Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control. Doctors did not know why seizures were rampant, when aspartame breaks down seizure threashold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, rage and violence.
If you or anyone you know is taking aspartame for any reason, please stop and do not buy anything with aspartame in it.

Do you know the truth about Splenda?

Eat for the health of it.

Maybe you heard all you want to about the chemicals in our food but I am sure some people have not. Even if you do not have an alergic reaction to this chemical you may want to read this.

The makers of Aspartame, claimed that their product was safe, everyone believed them, but now after dominating the sweetener market, people are beginning to realize that aspartame is truley a bad food chemical and tragically it is very harmful to their health. And now after they have introduced Splenda and used it for awhile, they are realizing that they were buffaloed again. Users of Splenda are finding themselves gaining weight, sleep disruptions, sexual disfuntion, increase in cancer, MS, Lupus, diabetes, a list of epidemic degenerative diseases and the corporation continues to deny any wrong in their product. The chlorine, in this product alone, causes me a great deal of discompfort and illness. I really cannot use any artificial sweeteners. I use Stevia because that is all natural.

We have trusted the maker of this product to be honest and give us a safe sweetener but, I for one, know that it is not safe. I got hives in my esophagus the first time I used it, after a bit of investigating and finding that they use chlorine in it, I knew what my problem was and I took an allergy pill and within a half hour the pain was gone but the fear I had that I was having a heart attack, was very scary. Chlorine is a terrible chemical. They use it to treat water to kill the bacteria in the pipes that run to peoples homes in the city, but they should tell them to filter their water to remove the chlorine.

It just really angers me that they can get away with putting these chemicals on the market. Then when they are convinced that it is bad, they change the name. I recently bought some cookies, after I checked the label and looked for HFCS, I didn't see it on there so I bought them. After eating the cookie, I began to itch and burn, like I always do when I eat HFCS. I read the label again and it listed (inverted syrup) I know how they will give a chemical another name, I looked it up and sure enough, (Inverted syrup was listed as HFCS) I just do not understand why they can do this.

Laughter is healthy: The bear story

A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down, he bangs his paw on the bar and demands a beer.
The bartender approaches him and says, "We do not serve beer to bears in bars in Billings."
The bear, becoming angry, demands again, "I want a beer."
The bartender repeats, "We do not sell beers to bears in bars in Billings."
By now the bear is angry and says, "If you do not serve me a beer, I am going to eat that lady on the end of the bar."
The bar tender says," I am sorry but we do not sell beer to belligerent bears in Billings."
The bear does as he threatened and came back to his seat at the bar and again demands a beer.
The bartender states, "We do not serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings, who are on drugs."
The bear says,"I am not on drugs."

The bartender says,"You are now, that was a barbitchyouate."

I'm sorry!!

Simple and easy-eat all natural foods

Eat for the health of it.

Americans seem to be getting more health conscious but some really do not know how much artificial ingredients they put in our food supply. I feel they should be more conscious of the additives that are put in our food. Read all the labels before you buy the product and let them know you do not want to eat this crap. If people stop buying those chemical laden foods they would stop making them. The foods are so processed and have so many artificial ingredients that you could probably get away with eating cardboard. That could be a little far fetched but just think of it, if you process something until everything that was good is cooked out and then you have to add some artificial flavoring, some chemical compound, a little HFCS and maybe some other processed bi-product that you remembered was in the back room and you cook it all up and make it into some fantastic tasting mush-mush, but where is the food value? Where is the vitamins? What will this do to your system? And for me I would break out in hives for sure with all that artificial gunk. Why can't we just have good ole food from way back when? If you do some serious figuring, you will find out that when a lot of the cancer and other ailments started were about the time when they started to use chemicals, preservatives and fillers. My wish would be to have them take all of the chemicals out of our food and see if cancer and a lot of other illnesses would come to a screaching halt.

First: There will come a time when you will stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second: The older we get, the fewer things seem worth standing in line for.
Third: Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth: When you are dissatisfied and want to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth: You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or it leaks.
Sixth: I don't know how I got over the hill without going over the top.
Seventh: Long ago when men beat the ground with sticks, they called it witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
Eighth: If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you get old.

Is MSG making you fat?

Eat for the health of it.

They have numerous news articles about obesity in adults and children. I recently read an article that states that MSG causes weight gain. What took them so long to figure that out? These maunufactured chemicals do not mix well with our natural chemicals and they cause all sorts of problems. How long will it take them to take the chemicals out of our food supply? It seems they come up with a new chemical all the time, or should I say that they come up with a new name for it? Like MSG alias hydrolyzed protein. High Fructose Corn Syrup, I just found out the hard way, that it is also called 'inverted syrup'. It's a shame that so many people have to suffer because someone wants to make more money and they do not care about the health of our children. Another chemical in our food that is real bad is the chlorine,which is a bleaching agent, it is in city water, bleached sugar, bleached flour and anything that these products are used in. I have to filter my water and use unbleached flour and unbleached sugar.

How low should your cholesterol be-or how high?

Eat for the health of it.

These words came from a doctors mouth.

"I would panic if my cholesterol dropped below 300."

Maybe this doctor is crazy and then maybe I am too, but I agree with him. I believe that each person has a cholesterol level of their own and if they feel good at that point then, why worry? I think doctors are trying to get people down way too low on cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar. There should be just a happy medium and not this pushing one pill then two etc. They should check to see if that person feels good at that point and if they do then, what's the problem? Especially if they don't feel good at the lower levels.

This doctor feels that the average cholesterol should be 200 or above. He says it could save your life. The fact is by lowering your cholesterol could make heart disease worse. Studies of cholesterol and mortality in heart patients found that lower cholesterol led to death. And lower cholesterol can trigger the deadliest kind of stroke. Massive stroke happens when the blood vessels in the brain are weak.
A new study of Low LDL levels shows an increased risk of developing cancer. Cholesterol is a vital nutrient, it is a necessary building block for your immune system and especially your braincells.

Higher cholesterol may even improve your memory, and keep you from getting depressed and protect you from Alzeimer's disease. Healthy brain cells are chock full of cholesterol. It fuels the electrical impulses that makes you think.

Low cholesterol impairs brain function, it's been linked to depression. Cholesterol lowering drugs have been linked to memory loss. Low cholesterol has been linked to suicide and not because you get tired of chewing on a carrot or a celery stick but because it plain makes you go crazy.

And get this: higher cholesterol can mean a better sex life because cholesterol feeds your sex hormones. Without cholesterol you would not have any more sex drive then an earthworm. I would listen and believe this guy.

The National Health Federation voted him ,"Doctor of the Year."

Laughter is healthy: The Computer Swallowed Grandma

The computer swallowed grandma.
Yes, honestly it's true!
She pressed 'control' and 'enter'
And dissapeared from view.
It devoured her completely,
the thought just makes me squirm.
She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.
I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind;
I've used the Internet,
But nothing did I find.
In depersation, I asked Google
My searches to refine.
The reply from them is negative,
Not a thing was found on 'line.'
So, if inside your 'In-box,'
My Grandma you should see,
Please 'Copy','Scan' and 'Paste' her
And send her back to me.

Red meat-good or bad for you??

Eat for the health of it.

How many times have you heard, Oh no! I don't eat red meat, that is not good for you. Come on! If people would eat more red meat and vegetables, and cut out all of this manufactured and processed foods they would be much better off. I cannot get over how people have been led to believe that natural foods are bad for them. If you don't eat the good food then all we would eat is that processed, sugary non nutritious foods. If you eat a steady diet of processed foods, I can guarantee you that you will have at least one on these conflictions and possibly more. Like: Being fat, have diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney problems or at least one of other known disease out there. I have living proof in my own house and that just irritates me. My husband was allowed to eat whatever he wanted and continues to do so all of his life, and he has had several health issues, several operations and he is suffering yet. He has had 2 Hyatal Hernia operations, prostate cancer and surgery, Two stents put in his heart, Esophageal and stomach cancer and surgery, he is diabetic, and has had both knees replaced and recently has been diagnosed with emphasema. He has been using a C-Pap machine for a few years, for a breathing problem already, and now he has an inhaler too to use. There is no way I would want to go throw what he has had to experience. I have offered to help him with a good nutritious diet but he still buys and eats whatever he wants to. What can I do?

If you eat this way, you better start thinking healthy if you do not want to spend the rest of your life in the doctors office and the hospital and treatment centers.

Laughter is healthy: Actual Austrailian court docket 12650

A lady that was 8 months pregnant, got on a bus, she noticed that a man was smiling at her and she moved. The man smiled even more, so she moved again. Each time she moved the man smiled even more until he began to laugh. The lady had him arrested. When the case came up in court the judge asked the young man what was so funny. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: when the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that read, 'The Double Mint Twins are Comin' and I grinned." Then she moved and sat under a sign that read, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile."
"Then she placed herself under the sign that said, 'Logan's Linament will reduce the swelling',and I had to smile"
"Then she placed herself under the deodorant sign that said, "Williams Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself."
"But your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under the sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'.... I lost it."

"CASE DISMISSED!!" said the judge.

Cooking at home-fast food style

Eat for the health of it.

I used to raise chickens and in some ways I wish I still did. There is nothing like a home grown chicken and the only way to find that out is to do it. After I quit raising them, it was hard for me to find a chicken that tasted good.

I was so happy when they came up with the all natural and the Amish free range chickens. They are the closest to home grown. Cooking them is another home experience. I do not like the chicken with all that crust on them because you get a lot of calories you don't need. It depends on what kind of diet you are on, so if you are on a low fat diet, I am afraid that you will have to skin that chicken and bake it in the oven, steam it or make soup out of it and skim all the fat off of the soup broth. If you are on the low carb diet then you can fry that chicken in some butter and don't forget how good that coconut oil is; you can fry it in that too. You can make soup but, no noodles.

Remember to read the chicken labels to see if the chicken has been injected with salt water or a saline or broth. This is done to make the chicken look plump. It is best to avoid this process.I always look for the "all natural" or the "organic" or the "free range" or the "hormone free". Always inspect the package for leaks, coolness, signs of spoilage (like dark, unnatural look or a lot of dark liquid in the package. Always check the expiration date. Remember to wash your hands with soapy water after handling the chicken, before handling other foods.

Check internal doneness with a meat thermometer. Internal temperature of chicken should be 165 degrees. You can serve chicken in many ways, cook it, fry it, saute' it, barbeque it, roast it in the oven. Serve it cajun style, tangy Indian, Asian, or cook it and make a soup, oven bake it or fry it in butter or stir fry it. You can serve it on a salad, or make a sandwich spread. Chicken is quite universal and if you have it thawed and ready to cook, it can really be sort of a fast food meal.

Laughter is healthy:

A man and woman were assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarassed and uneasy over the situation, they were both tired and fell asleep right away. He was in the upper bunk and she slept in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman up saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied."Just for tonight, let's pretend we are married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she replied. "Get your own <^*&+> blanket."

Coconut oil is great

Eat for the health of it.

Are you unhappy about your skimpie little eye lashes? I wish mine were longer too.
But I am not frustrated enough to try this new product that makes them grow and get thick. There is no way that I want to put anything in or near my eyes that will do that. And now listen to the side effects, ( itchy eyes, dry eyes, red eyes) and some other side effects ( darkened eyelids, hair growth in unwanted places), and another more bizarre side effect is your blue eyes may turn brown.... permanently). Think about this seriously before trying it. Even after all this warning, they predict their company will make a half billion dollars a year. And get this, it will cost you $120.00 for a months supply. WOW!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am so glad they brought coconut oil back to use again. I like the flavor it gives certain foods. They took it off the market years ago because it was a saturated fat.
Butter, eggs and coconut oil were out. The vegetable oil was in and was thought to be "heart healthy."
The truth about coconut oil,is that back in the 30's, a dentist traveled the South Pacific, found that those eating diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim, despite the high fat in there diets.
A similer study in the 80's proved that there was no evidence that the high fat intake was harmful. The truth is that coconut oil is the best when it comes to frying, because it is the only oil that is stable enough to resist heat induced damage. And coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is found in breast milk.

Laughter is healthy:
A man owned a small farm in South Carolina. The South Carolina Wage and Hours Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them."Demanded the Agent.
"Well," replyed the farmer, "there is my farm hand who has been with me for 3 years. I pay him $400.00 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months. I pay her $300.00 per week plus free room and board. And then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours a day and he does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 a week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bourbon every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."
"That's the guy I want to talk to...the half-wit," says the Agent.......
"That would be me," replied the farmer.
