Generic drugs

Eat for the health of it.

There seems to be an increase in problems with generic drugs. Problems start out with the doctors because they don't believe that there is a problem. 25% of the doctors believe that generic drugs are safe. If that is true, then why do I have so much trouble with taking generic drugs? I have a terrible allergic reaction to the filler that they put in drugs. I have to take Tenormin, because the generic(Attenolol)made my skin bleed. I told my doctor and the druggist that the reason I was bleeding was that they had switched me from Tenormin to Attenolol. I asked the doctor to write a new prescription so that I could take the Tenormin and sure enough my arms stopped bleeding. There has to be something terrible in that Attenolol to make it cause me to bleed.
Then the doctor had me on 800 mg of Motrin and for some reason they changed me over to Ibuprophen and then I got hives all over my body. I asked them to give me the real thing and they had taken it off the market. If I get the "Good" drugs I have to pay many times more for them. I can't help it if I am allergic to this garbage they put in there and I cannot believe that anyone else would want to take medication that really isn't good for you. Just because you do not have a reaction to these pills does not mean it isn't harming you.
There are many drugs that have sent people to the hospital for various reasons and some could be from an allergic reaction. I have to be very careful because I am allergic to all chemicals, I am on an all natural diet and I have to be very careful and I have to pay a lot more just so I can have the safe drugs made here.

I can't believe that the USA would trust some other country to make our most delicate product. Instead of people getting better they end up getting sicker and often end up in the hospital. I feel that if we have another country making our drugs the US should be there keeping an eye on them, but if it is true what I have heard, that they only check on this about every two years.

I also feel that we should have a choice of whether we want the real thing or the generic and we shouldn't have to pay two to three times as much for it either. As it is right now the real drug from here was 44.00 dollars opposed to the generic which is $4.75, for the same amount and the same strength.

We also cannot tell if the drugs from plants have impurities or come in "subtherapeutic" doses, such as if a drug labelled 10 mg but may only be 6 mg. Personally I do not like getting our drugs from other countries, who knows what they may put in there or what their standards are.

I guess there isn't much we can do about it, but we should always keep track of how we feel when we start a new drug and look up on the computer for side effects or be sure the drugstore gives you the list of side effects to watch out for. Also take your blood pressure and let the doctor know if you do not feel well.

If anyone you know is suffering from Depression or is BiPolar, tell them to ask their doctor for a prescrition for Perphenazine, which is a lot cheaper than the Risperdal that is a lot like it. Perphenazine is a very old medication but it does work well. I hope they keep it on the market.

Keep eating healthy and maybe we won't need all of these drugs and then we don't care where they get them.

Laughter is healthy:The good napkin

Sarah's mother taught her to read when she was four years old.(Her first mistake)...One day when she was in the bathroom with her mother she asked, "Mom, what are these napkins doing in the bathroom? Her mother explained that they were for "special occasions" (Her second mistake)

Fast forwarding just a bit: It was Thanksgiving Day and the parents went to the bus station to pick up the grandparents and the mother gave special assignments to each child so everything would be ready when they got back. Sarah's job was to set the table.

When her parents returned with Grandpa and Grandma,Grandma was the first to notice how nice the table looked then snickered and whispered to Grandpa who roared with laughter; by then her parents noticed and her father laughed aloud and her mother was so embarrassed when she noticed that the napkins for "Special Occasion" were used at each place to set the table, with a fork placed neatly on each napkin. Sarahs mother asked, "Why did you use those napkins to set the table." And Sarah answered,"You said they were for a speacial occasion." The answer through the rest into a fit of laughter. You have to give a little explanation along with your answer.

The "Blue Man" and colloidal silver

Eat for the health of it.

Has everyone seen the blue man? He was on the news quite a bit, there for awhile. He was using Colloidal silver, which he made himself. There isn't anything wrong with making colloidal silver but drinking it by the glass full may have been a bit too much. It wasn't until he started to wash with it, that it turned his skin blue. I saw him myself and he is really blue. The last time I saw him he looked healthy and his skin was clear but still blue. The only thing is, CS is getting a bad rap for turning the man blue.I use a few drops in some water every day just to maintain my health. I don't know if it will keep me from getting the flu but it's worth the try. CS fights bacterial infections, I use it to control my sinus infection which also plugs my ears. I squirt it in my nose, and in my ears.

I don't know if it fights the flu and viral infections. The Blue man started to use it to clear up a skin inflamation on his face. Unfortunately he drank it full strength everyday for years. He did not get advice from a doctor. He did seek a doctor for a checkup and he did have a lot of silver in him but he was fine otherwise. He still uses it occasionally.

CS is a submicroscopic silver particles dispersed in water. It is one of the oldest known medicines. Research of this, has found that bacteria has an enzyme system that is disrupted by the presence of silver ions, causing the organism to die.

CS was used back in the 1940's as an antibacterial agent. Another doctor said CS would be a good defense against the flu, but it is rather expensive to buy. It is for sale in the Health food stores, unless you want to make your own. This doctor also recommended not to use it continuously. Each individual is different so ask your doctor for advice before using this. You could talk to someone at the health food store too. That is where you will find it.

As I said before, I use it all the time, if I have a sore or a skin irritation, like hives from allergic reactions, I put it on there and it heals it. I once had a small lesion on my lower eye lid and I went to the doctor and he said I would have to see a surgeon to remove it. I didn't want anyone messing with my eyelid so I got my bottle of Colloidal Silver out and I put it on my eyelid three to four times a day, every day. It dissapeared. It has been gone for at least two years now and not even a scar.

Stomach Problems

Eat for the health of it.

Over 22,000 people die from stomach cancer every year. Smokers are at a greater risk to develope stomach cancer than those that do not. The bad thing about it is that most people that do get stomach cancer do not have symptoms in the early stages of the disease. More than likely if a person does have some pain or ingigestion, you only figure that it is 'something' you ate that didn't agree with you. You pop a tum or take some baking soda. At first maybe it goes away but if you get to where it doesn't go away you better think about having some tests done. By the time that most people decide that it is more than just a little indigestion the cancer can spread to organs and lymph nodes.

Symptoms to watch for: Dull pain in the upper abdomon, that is not relieved by antacids.
Stomach pain and cramps after eating.
If you feel full after eating but you haven't eaten that much.
Vomiting after you eat or losing weight, you need to talk to your doctor.
Ulcers may be brought on by H pylori, which is an organism that burrows itself into the protective layer of the stomach. H pylori, is believed to be worse than an ulcer.

Most stomach cancer is brought on by diet. The most probable food is: smoked meats, salty or pickled foods or processed meats,such as salami or corned beef, hot dogs, balogna, bacon or ham, which usually is high in nitrates and nitrites. Limit your intake of these types of foods to once a week, to be on the safe side. Try eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

I think they should educate the parents sending lunches to school with the kids. Most of them that carry their lunch have a balogna or ham sandwich. My husband had esophageal and stomach cancer, and I blame it on his eating habits because he didn't like peanut butter. Once in a while he would eat a cheese sandwich, but most of the time he wanted lunchmeat. And then he would buy 2 two litre bottles of soda every day and he drank them, then he was diagnosed with stomach and esophegeal cancer. He also was not good about eating vegetables and fruits. He still does not eat healthy, so what do you do? Nothing.

Laughter is healthy:

A hillbilly fellow went hunting one day in Georgia and bagged three ducks and put them in the back of his pickup. He was about to go home when an ornery old game warden stopped him. He didn't like hillbillies so he was determined to arrest him for shooting ducks illegally.

The game warden ordered the hillbilly to show his Georgia hunting license and the hillbilly showed him a legal Georgia hunting license.

The game warden saw the ducks and lifted one of them and sniffed it's rear end and said,"This duck ain't from Georgia. This ia a Tennessee duck. You got a Tennessee hunting license?"

The hillbilly reached in his pocket and produced his Tennessee hunting license.

The game warden looked at it, then reached for another duck and he again sniffs the rear end of the duck. "This ain't no Georgia duck, this is a Mississippi duck. You got a Mississippi hunting license?"

The hillbilly reached in his pocket again and produced a hunting license for Mississippi.
The warden picked up the third duck and sniffed it's rearend. He exclaims."This is not a Georgia duck, it's a South Carolina duck. You got a South Carolina hunting license"?

The hillbilly answers, "Yes, I do, and he shows the Warden his South Carolina hunting license.

The game warden was extremely frustrated with the hillbilly at this point and he yells at him, "Boy, just where sre you from?"

The hillbilly turned around, dropped his drawers, bent over and said, "You're the expert, you tell me."

Eggs the good food

Eat for the health of it.

Why does the media "experts" still speak of eggs as if they were poison? Do they know that eggs have 13 essential vitamins and minerals, B12, Vitamin D, and nutrative compounds?

They are really an inexpensive nutritional food. I know most people do not eat ten eggs a day but if they did, the nutritional ingredients in ten eggs could clean your arteries and sharpen your memory.

I'm going back on my low carb diet now. Eggs have been given a bad wrap but they are really good for you and you should really include them in your diet. If you look back from the time of the cave man, men have hunted and fished and found good things to eat that grew wild. They ate dandelion greens and wild lettuce and other natural things around them. Now it's easier because you can buy all the vegetables.

This is something I never heard before: Spinach is good for your eyes but only if it is fried in bacon grease. Spinach contains a nutrient, lutein, which helps macular degeneration. The eye saving nutrients are fat soluble, so you cannot absort these nutrients without the fat. And listen up, bacon grease is one of the best fats to cook with. Yes, you have been told just the opposite but think of all the rest of the lies we have been told. Go ahead and eat a bacon omelet.

Just looking back a few years and you think, wow, how did so many people get so sick that they need all of this medication? So many people you talk to, begin their conversations with, "I just had my medication filled at the drugstore, I almost had to morgage the house to pay for it." That may be a little exagerated, but it's getting there. It really makes you wonder sometimes, who said our cholesterol has to be below 200? Did you know that cholesterol patches holes in the blood vessels in your brain so they do not burst?

'Low cholesterol' increases your chances of dying from infectious diseases. Did you know that AIDS patients actually have low cholesterol? It's not because they are healthy. Cholesterol is actually the mother of all nutrients. Your body needs cholesterol to create hormones.

Like I said before, I am going back on my low carb diet, because I really feel that it is one of the healthiest diets ever.And the most satisfying. On a low carb diet, if you have not tried it, you eat all natural foods, you have to stay away from processed foods, especially sugar and flour. And if anyone tells you that is wrong to do, they are plain crazy. It will be hard, at first, to give up all that junk food but if you want to lose weight and feel good, try it. Don't become discouraged if you slip now and then, just make up your mind that you want to lose the weight and you want to feel good.

You can eat all of the meat like pork chops, chicken and beef as long as it is not breaded. You can fry it in butter or lard. You can have fish fried in butter and eat lobster and shrimp. Cheese is good for you but be sure to get the all natural. Just keep in mind all the time that if it is processed, it is loaded with carbs. I have been on the diet for many years now and yes, I have strayed a lot but basically I try hard to stay on it or go back to it. My last checkup at the doctors; everything was normal. I mostly stick with an all natural diet, even if it isn't 100% of the time. If you need a book to go by,that lists all the foods that have the carb count, Dr. Adkins diet is what you would look for.

If you want recipes that are all natural, maybe not all carb free, but it will help you to eat all natural, and that is what is most important. My all natural cookbook, GRANDMA'S BACK TO BASICS ALL NATURAL MORE THAN JUST A COOKBOOK ISBN#0-8059-6286-7

Laughter is healthy: Underwear is important

If you don't laugh at this, call the morgue, you must be dead.

Always wear underwear in public, especially if you are working under your car.

This story came from the Florida Dailey News about a couple who drove into the parking lot at a major store and their car broke down. The husband told the wife to go and shop and he would have it fixed in about an hour, so she went about her shopping and returned to the car and she noticed a small crowd had gathered aroung her vehicle. As she walked past the car, she noticed that there were two legs sticking out under the car and apparently her husband had forgot to put on underwear and he had rather short shorts on and he was exposing himself and it was drawing a crowd.
She was unable to stand the embarrasment for her husband, so she dutifully reached under the car and tucked everything back into place. She stood up boldly to face the crowd and she looked accross the hood of the car and realized that the man under the car was not her husband but the mechanic, who had to be taken to the hospital for stitches.

What's in the milk?

Eat for the health of it.

Do you know what's in your milk? It is genetically engineered growth hormone to increase production.And now Monsanto has the right to produce the synthetic hormone rBST.They say that the milk treated with the rBST is safe for human consumption and is no different than milk from untreated cows.

But what's this deal? Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan has all banned the use of it(rBST). They fear the increase of another hormone. When that hormone is present in excessive amounts, they fear an increase in cancer.

Although it hasn't been proven, by the time they find out for sure, it's too late. And the cows suffer from it too. They have hoof problems, gastrointestinal problems, heat stress, diarrhea, birth disorders and painful udder infections.

Why do they have to mess with our food? That is so crazy.

Time for one joke:Farm girl birth control:

Three girls met with the marriage counselor just before they got married and the counselor discussed the options of having or not having a baby right away.
The counselor asked them if they planned on waiting to have a baby and they all agreed that they were going to wait and wanted to discuss this.

The counselor asked the first girl what measurements she would take to keep from getting pregnant. "I am planning on using the rhythm method." The counselor said, "that will work, but only if you keep good records."

He asked the second girl and she said she was going to use the pills. The counselor said, "That will be fine too but you have to remember to take the pills.

He then asked the farm girl what her plans were. She said, "Well, I plan on using the pail and saucer method." The counselor didn't ask her to explain what that was, he just said,"I guess that should work." He dismissed the class and told them to come back in a year and let him know how things went.

One year later they all met at the counselors office. Both of the city girls were pregnant. The farm girl was still slim and trim. The counselor asked the first city girl what went wrong and she said,"I got my notes mixed up and here I am, going to have a baby."

He asks the second city girl what happened to her and she explained, "I tried using the pill but apparently I forgot and here I am, pregnant,"

He turns to the farm girl and says, " I vaguely remember you were going to use the pail and saucer method, I have to admit that I have no idea what that means. I see that it worked, if you will explain that to us, maybe these girls would like to try that."

She replied, "Well, we make love standing up and since I am quite a bit taller than my husband, he stands on a pail turned upside down and as we are making love, I watch his eyes and when they get as big as saucers, I kick the pail out from under him."

Stevia, Truvia and purevia

Eat for the health of it.

I have been in a turmoil for some time now over the fact that the government would not approve Stevia as a safe sweetener, it could be sold as a supplement but not as a sweetener. But now they have come out with a couple of new ones that have been approved and I read also that Stevia ,as of December 2009, will be approved as a all natural sweetener.

I just think it so strange that they could not approve of a sweetener that people have been eating, sweetening their foods and drinks for many, many years, with no side effects but it was not approved to be safe. I am just so happy that they have approved this sweetener and I hope they take all of these chemical sweeteners( like aspartame, equal, sucralose, splenda, etc.) off the market, because they are causing all kinds of illnesses. I am so allergic to the chemicals they have okeyed and have spent a lot of my life trying to figure what was making me sick with all kinds of skin irritations etc.

I just wonder why it took so long to approve this sweetener but it didn't take very long for them to come up with a serum for the N1H1 flu bug. Years ago I always heard that they were supposed to test these drugs for 10 years before they could put them on the market. I think they tested Stevia about that long. And to top it all off, they okayed Aspartame,Splenda,MSG,etc. And it didn't take that long.

Anyway I am happy that they approved it just so they don't sneek some chemicals in it. I'll know because I will break out, somehow.

Please think about my all natural cookbook, it has wonderful recipes in it.

Laughter is healthy: Confused golfer:

A man playing on the front nine of a very complicated golf course, became confused as to where he was. Looking around he saw a lady playing just ahead of him. He walked up to her and explained his situation and asked if she knew what hole he was on.
"Well. I am on the 7th hole and if you are one hole behind me, you must be on the 6th. hole." He thanked her and went back to golfing. On the back nine the same thing happened to him. He approached her again and asked her what hole she was on.
She said, "I am on the 14th hole so you must be on 13, you are just one hole behind me." Once again he thanked her and went back to his golfing.

He finished his game and went to the clubhouse for a drink and ran into the same lady, he approached her and offered to buy her a drink in appreciation for his troubling her. They sat at a table and talked. He asked what she did for a living and she said that she was in sales. He said," Well isn't that a coincidence, so am I, what do you sell?"
She answered, "Oh, you would just laugh if I told you."
"No, I won't."
"Well, if you must know," she answered. "I work for Tampax."
He burst out laughing.
She said,"See, I told you, that you would laugh."
"No, I wasn't laughing at that, it's just that I am a salesman too and I sell Preparation H, and I am still one hole behind you."


I promised you two.

A wife came home from shopping and her husband was swatting flies. She asked what he was doing all day while she was shopping.
He said, "I was mowing lawn until a while ago I came in to get a drink and these flies were in here and I killed a male and two females.
"Well, how do you know whether they were male or female?" she asked.
He told her, "One was on the beer can and there was two on the phone."

Not such a great topic but may be helpful to you.

Eat for the health of it.

I have been plagued with hemorrhoids since my first child was born. They come and go. Sometimes they are a real pain in the you know what. I have used several home remedies and I think they are all pretty good and what works for one may not work for another.
A few years back, I had a colonoscopy and the doctor told me that I had a fissure. Well, I am not sure which one really is more painful only the fissure seems to stay around longer. The doctor wanted to remove the fissure and as I was making my arrangements for the surgery, the girl told me that I would not be able to sit for a month.
I told her just to cancel the surgery because at that time I had just signed up for a semester at the college and I could just see me sqirming in my seat as I waited until the class was over.
I doctored it up and it was fine until a couple of weeks ago, it came back, I guess it didn't really go away it was just resting there until, for some reason it cracked open again. Here are some of the things I used to get some soothing compfort. I took olive oil,( about a drop or 2 of olive oil and a few drops of iodine) I couldn't find iodine so I used Aprovidone and iodine solution, which worked as well.( I mix it in a small container then use a cotton ball but stretch the cotton ball out a bit and soak up the iodine mixture and place it where it hurts and leave it there a while.)
While you are treating it you have to watch your diet, like don't eat nuts or popcorn and be sure to keep things moving along softly. Eat fruits and drink a lot of whatever you like, whether it is fruit juices or water. Stay away from chocolates too if they have a tendency to constipate you. Another thing I found out is that these baby wipes have alcohol in them and you should not use them. I think I have seen them with no alcohol, I am going to try and find them. I have also used preparatin H. I have also used peroxide, but that tends to dry the skin so I only use it occasionally. Also A&D cream is soothing. Good luck!!!
