Eat for the health of it.
I love it outside, I love the sunshine too and so do the insects and they think that God gave them this earth and we don't belong here. They make themselves right at home at the family picnics too. If you get bit, the sooner you take care of it the better it will be.
Now I have never had a chance to try this but I was told to carry a copper penny with me outside and if you get stung by a bee or wasp you should put the penny on the spot and it will keep it from swelling. Hey, it's worth the try. I try to remember to carry the penny but more than likely, if I get stung, it will be the day I forget to put the penny in my pocket. You can try peppermint oil too. Another is vitamin C, take it internally or crush the tablet and make a paste with a little water and place on the bite. You can also make a paste from baking soda and a little water, and place it on the bite. Vinegar or lemon juice or meat tenderizer will also do the job.
If you are really allergic to insect bites you better stay inside or carry an epi pen.
If you are interested in eating all natural or if you know someone that is very allergic to the chemicals in food, please tell them about my all natural cookbook,GRANDMA'S BACK TO BASICS ALL NATURAL MORE THAN JUST A COOKBOOK ISBN #0-8059-6286-7 - by Teresa Thompson - Available at: www.dorrancepublishing.com - By phone call: 1-800-788-7654 - Also available at: Amazonbooks.com

Laughter is healthy:
During a doctor visit, Matilda, asked her doctor,"How do you determine when a person is ready for the old folks home?"
The doctor answers, "Well, we fill the bathtub with water and offer the patient a teaspoon, a cup or a bucket and tell them to empty the tub."
Matilda answers,"Oh! I imagine that if the person is okay they would ask for a bucket."
The doctor answers, "Well, no, if the person is okay they would pull the plug. Do you want a bed next to the window?"

An ounce of prevention
Eat for the health of it.
Did you ever have swimmers ear or a plain old earache from swimming in the lake or a farm pond, or other untreated swimming hole? The best thing to do is prepare yourself for this occasion by taking a mixture of 2 drops of vinegar and 2 drops of rubbing alcohol and when you get finished swimming place the drops in your ears, this should prevent infection.
If you do get ear infections often, ask your pharmacist to mix up a batch of 3 percent boric acid and 70 percent alcohol solution. The boric acid will acidify the ear canal, keeping away any bacteria or fungal invaders and the alcohol will keep it dry. Squeeze a few drops in the ears every day.
If you have trouble with your ears popping or becoming painful while flying; I usually chew gum but when you land and you still have the pain, I have heard that warming an onion or a potato in the microwave or in water on the stove, then place it in a clean sock or cloth and tie a string around it and hold it to your sore ear. (Make sure it isn't too hot on the skin).
I recall as a child my mother used sweet oil in our ears. We never went to the doctor unless we were half dead or bleeding profusely. You can buy sweet oil or make your own by mixing equal parts of olive oil with other oils like lavender. You could check the health food store in your area.
I had an earache from hell this past fall and I went to my doctor and she prescribed a Z-PAC and it helped for awhile but my sinuses and ears were plugged for a long time until a friend told me about a NETI POT, that is the answer to sinus infections, believe me. I found this NETI POT at the health food store and I filled it with warm water and a pinch of sea salt, and while standing over the sink I poured it in one nostril and saying K-K-K, it came out the other nostril, then repeat on the other side. Believe me it really works. You may have to do this several times. I did it every day for a few weeks and then I do it now and then for assurance. I never want to have another sinus infection like I had.
Another thing to try is dropping some eucalyptus oil (ten drops) in some boiling water and breathing it in. (Don't get too close or you will get burned from the steam.)You may want to drape a towel over your head to help capture the steam.
Another thing you can try is pressing a globe of garlic and mix it with olive oil and let it stand over night, strain, then use the cleared oil (warmed a bit) in the sore ear.
Let me tell you, I tried everything. Both of my ears were filled with pus and they drained. I thought I would never get my hearing back, but I did.
I seldom get sick, but I think a lot of it was from my fall and hurting my neck, preassure on the spinal cord and that is all in that area, I may never know for sure.
I try eating garlic and fresh fruits and vegetables and unprocessed foods. Eating all natural is the best for you no matter what.

Do you have dry skin?
Eat for the health of it.
We have all experienced the dry skin but what have we done about it? I would love to soak in a tub of water with oils and other nutrients everyday but I don't have the time. If you do, that's great.
If you can use a soft bristled brush and start with the feet and rub them in a circular motion and work up towards your heart. This will stimulate the sebaceous glands and will remove the dead skin.
We all have some habits that can contribute to the drying skin like,sunbathing, long baths,chlorinated water in swimming pools. It's natural aging process for our skin to dry as we get older unless we keep it moistened somehow.
You should eat plenty of fruit, seeds, fish and drink plenty of filtered water. City water has chlorine in it and you need to filter it out. Use some type of lotion or cream that has natural ingredients.
All natural is so important whether you are eating or smoothing it on your skin.

Do you experience dizziness?
Eat for the health of it.
Most people experience dizziness or vertigo, at sometime in their life. If this happens to you, you should call your doctor, especially if it lasts for any length of time or if you have chest pain, numbness and if your heart is beating faster than usual, you could be having a heart attack. And anytime if you suddenly lose your hearing after a dizzy spell. It could be something with your inner ear. There can be a number of other things wrong inside the ear which you want to have a doctor look at, don't be digging around in the ear yourself. I recently had a doctor clean mine out and I was surprised what they found in there, at least I can hear better.
These spells of dizziness or vertigo can come and go but they should be checked by a doctor in case it is your heart or other problems.
If you do have these periodically; Limit your use of salt and caffeine. Use ginger in any form like ginger tea, ginger candy and fresh ginger.
Try pressing your thumb into the pulse point on your wrist, some times this will help. Another thing I did when I had an attack like that was to hold my head with both hands, thumbs down under my ears and the rest of the fingers above the ears and act like I am lifting my head up and slowly turn my head to the left and then to the right, do this a few times, slowly. It worked for me.

Diabetis and whats good for you
Eat for the health of it.
Once you are diagnosed with diabetes, you have to make up your mind to keep it under control. You have to decide what you are going to eat ahead of time to make sure you have that kind of food in the house, that's if you are trying to control it.
My husband is diabetic and as much as I have tried to help him control his sugar, he eats whatever he wants to eat and sometimes he has some really bad spells. When he goes shopping with me I get surprised at what goes through the checkout and I ask myself, "How did that get in my cart?" He manages to slip that stuff in there and when we get home we have a stache of goodies he picked out. If I question him on it, he acts like a child and says, "because that's what I want." I don't cook special for him either because he won't eat it anyway.
But for you who would like to eat like hey should here are a few pointers:
If you must eat a banana; eat it a little on the green side or a bid under ripe. It's not so apt to spike your blood sugar. The Indians would chew on the leaf of an herb called, gymnema and it means "sugar destroyer" you can buy these in capsules at the health food store. Worth the try. If you like french fries, try a little vinegar on them like the British have eaten them, with a little apple cider vinegar, not that white stuff.
Fish oil is good for you. Be very careful of foods that contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, that stuff is so bad for you. I can't eat it and I am not diabetic but I am allergic to it. It's probably a good thing.
I want to encourage people to eat all natural because that's the only way it should be and these people putting these chemicals in our food should feel some guilt because that has a lot to do with our ailments.

2.A man takes his Rotteweiller to the vet. "My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"
The vet picks up the dog and says, "Let's take a look at him, he checks his eyes and then his teeth. Finally he says, "I'll have to put him down."
"What? Because he is cross eyed?"
"No, because he is really heavy."

Depression and mood swings
Eat for the health of it.
Everyone has had their day of moodiness. I know that there are people who are always laughing and saying funny things but I am sure if you followed them through their day and evening, they would have some time that they are sad or moody about something. I am sure this is mostly a normal thing.
I have days of the blahs when the sun doesn't shine or if it rains all day and you're stuck in the house. You should do something but you just don't feel like doing anything either, so you mope around all day; maybe curl up in a blanket on the couch. And then the next day the sun comes out and you feel all perky and you get all the work done you should have done the day before. I think that could be considered pretty normal even though you think to yourself that you should have done at least half of that work the day before.
On the other hand if you are an active person and all of a sudden you become withdrawn from your friends, clubs, card parties and you can let the house go and you don't even want to answer the phone, you need to see a doctor because you could have a brain chemical imbalance. You could have a low level of a chemical in your brain called serotonin.
And it could turn into a more serious mental disorder like bipolar depression. If not treated, bipolar depression can become a very serious and dangerous illness.
If you feel you are depressed, try the B vitamins, fish oil, like omega-3 and eat fish like salmon and tuna several times a week. I suggest talking to a person at the health food store to get the right amount of fish oil, unless you are on a blood thinner or aspirin, you shouldn't take fish oil, because it also thins your blood.
Tryptophan,an amino acid, that converts to serotonin in your body can help with depression. Tryptophan can be found in turkey, chicken, fish, dairy products, soybeans, nuts and avocados.
I was pretty depressed after I was seriously injued in an auto accident 25 years ago. I went through a lot of therapy and part of my therapy was swimming and I am still swimming. It's amazing how therapeutic that is, mentally and physically.
I have also talked to people that have had other injuries that swim and some take aerobics, and others get outside and rake leaves. It's amazing what little things that seem unimportant can be a cure for what ails you.
Anything to relax you and it also helps to eat as healthy as you can. By eating all natural, gives you the nourishment you need. The processed foods do not have this nourishment.

Skin cuts and open wounds
Eat for the health of it.
How many times do you cut or scrape yourself and wish you had something to help take away the pain or wish you new what you could put on it so you don't get an infection? Of course, if it's deep and oozing a lot of blood, go directly to the doctor or hospital. For simple scrapes try a little crushed cloves and sprinkle on the wound.
For other cuts and scrapes, run a stream of water on the wound and using a washcloth with a mild soap on it, lightly scrub the wound and try to get all the dirt or debri away from the cut, if you need to; let the water run on the cut for awhile and if there is embedded dirt that you cannot get out it is best to see your doctor.
If you are not sure if every bit of debri is not gone from the cut, take a sterile gauze and saturate it with some calendula extract (from the health food store) and place it on the cut for about hour to loosen debri, then put a drop or two of the extract on the wound.
Rosemary extract is also good to put on cuts and scrapes. Available at the health food store.
The leaves of the comfrey plant is also healing, but only use on shallow cuts.
Undiluted honey is also good on mild cuts. Honey is so good for you, especially the raw honey.
Always remember that if your sore doesn't start to heal or if you see a red streak going from it, get to the doctor or if the doctor isn't in then go to the hospital.

Laughter is healthy:
Three women were on the golf course and were struck by lightning and they all died and went to heaven. When they entered the pearly gates they noticed these baby ducks all over the place. And they also saw the sign that said, DO NOT STEP ON DUCKS.
It wasn't long and the first lady steps on a duck and it dies. St Peter comes to the lady and for her punishment for killing the baby duck he chains the ugliest man to her.
The very next day the second woman steps on a baby duck and kills it. St. Peter comes along and he chains her to another ugly man.
The third woman was very careful and watched where she walked so she wouldn't have that happen to her. All of a sudden she sees St. Peter heading toward her with a handsome young man and he chains the man to her. The woman turns to the guy and asks,"What have I done to deserve this?"
The guy answers, "I don't know about you, but I just stepped on a duck."
How many times do you cut or scrape yourself and wish you had something to help take away the pain or wish you new what you could put on it so you don't get an infection? Of course, if it's deep and oozing a lot of blood, go directly to the doctor or hospital. For simple scrapes try a little crushed cloves and sprinkle on the wound.
For other cuts and scrapes, run a stream of water on the wound and using a washcloth with a mild soap on it, lightly scrub the wound and try to get all the dirt or debri away from the cut, if you need to; let the water run on the cut for awhile and if there is embedded dirt that you cannot get out it is best to see your doctor.
If you are not sure if every bit of debri is not gone from the cut, take a sterile gauze and saturate it with some calendula extract (from the health food store) and place it on the cut for about hour to loosen debri, then put a drop or two of the extract on the wound.
Rosemary extract is also good to put on cuts and scrapes. Available at the health food store.
The leaves of the comfrey plant is also healing, but only use on shallow cuts.
Undiluted honey is also good on mild cuts. Honey is so good for you, especially the raw honey.
Always remember that if your sore doesn't start to heal or if you see a red streak going from it, get to the doctor or if the doctor isn't in then go to the hospital.
