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.

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.

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.

Laughter is healthy: Naturally you would expect a joke about a woman that is 65 years old and just gave birth to a baby.
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??!!
