ZEOLITES-MIRACLE MINERALS?

**************ZEOLITES-MIRACLE MINERALS?*************
Zeolites are several minerals in a group, formed by molten lava and mixed with sea water. They have been successfully been used to remove heavy metals from the body, to balance pH to base [alkaline] and they help to support the immune system. The molecular view of these minerals are porous and they tend to trap and bind heavy metals, toxins, viral particles, impurities and other harmful compounds and help remove them from the body safely. It is completely safe for the body to consume.
The FDA has given Zeolite a G.R.A.S. rating meaning it is generally recognized as safe.

(1)
Zeolites can perform ion exchange, filtering, odor removal, chemical sieve and gas absorption tasks. The most well known use for zeolites is in water softeners. Calcium in water can cause it to be "hard" and capable of forming scum and other problems. Zeolites charged with the much less damaging sodium ions can allow the hard water to pass through its structure and exchange the calcium for the sodium ions. This process is reversible. In a similar way zeolites can absorb ions and molecules and thus act as a filter for odor control, toxin removal and as a chemical sieve. Zeolites can have the water in their structures driven off by heat with the basic structure left intact. Then other solutions can be pushed through the structure. The zeolites can then act as a delivery system for the new fluid. This process has applications in medicine, livestock feeds and other types of research. Zeolites added to livestock feed have been shown to absorb toxins that are damaging and even fatal to the growth of the animals, while the basic structure of the zeolite is biologically neutral. Aquarium hobbyists are seeing more zeolite products in pet stores as zeolites make excellent removers of ammonia and other toxins. Most municipal water supplies are processed through zeolites before public consumption. These uses of zeolites are extremely important for industry, although synthetic zeolites are now doing the bulk of the work.


(2)
Heulandite is one of the most common and one of the most well known members of the Zeolite Group. It can have a nice pearly luster and lovely colored hues. It forms wonderfully complex and quite unique crystals and is often associated with other rare and beautiful minerals. Rarely are the larger crystals transparent, but they always have a certain depth of translucency. Heulandite forms large crystals in the petrified bubbles (called vesicles) of volcanic rocks that have had a slight amount of metamorphism. Huelandite occurs in other environments but does not generally form large well shaped crystals in those situations. Heulandite gets its name in honor of John Henry Heuland, a British mineral collector and dealer.



A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group
identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord blood,
including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and
nervous system. De-toxing is essential.



1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for
cancer. In one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal
cancer (all types) are now in complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink
Pharmaceuticals, 2005).

2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly
lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and
other toxins from the body. These toxins are strongly correlated with the
occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers and neurological
disorders such as Alzheimer's, autism, and dementia.

3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination
of pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.

4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent
anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases
of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case
studies suggest that it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu.

5. Zeolite's binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when
tons of it was used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before
they contaminated local water systems.

6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an
optimal pH level (between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy
brain function and a strong immune system.

7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers.
Zeolite was added to the
protocol for the 10-day detoxification program for prospective mothers. In
two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue
dropped significantly - from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two -
over the course of seven days. Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of
use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to use even during pregnancy and
breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been proven in
double-blind studies.

8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being,
clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of
eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research, by
increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that zeolite also helps
relieve depression.

9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune
function, and general health.

10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found
in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another
positive effect on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is
relief of acid reflux.

11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which
cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of
these symptoms.

12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical
activity and damage to the body.

Men's Room
A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes to a counter in a department store and asks, "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"
The clerk behind the counter just looks at him and says nothing.
The man repeats himself: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?" Again, the clerk doesn't answer him.
The guy asks several more times: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"
And the clerk just seems to ignore him. Finally, the guy is angry and storms off.
The customer who was waiting in line behind the guy asks the clerk, "Why wouldn't you answer that guy's question?"
The clerk answers, "D-d-d-do you th-th-th-think I w-w-w-want to get b-b-b-beat up?!!"

The Good of a Bad Relationship
Two Yuppettes were shopping. When they started to discuss their home lives, one said, "Seems like all Alfred and I do anymore is fight. I've been so upset I've lost 20 pounds."
"Why don't you just leave him then?" asked her friend.
"Oh! Not yet." the first replied, "I'd like to lose at least another fifteen pounds first!"
~~~
Big Sale Day
It was the day of the big sale. Rumours of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store.
A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colorful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line...
"That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!"
~~~
Sales Competition
The shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand new business much like his own opened up next door and erected a huge sign which read 'Best Deals'.
He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading 'Lowest Prices'.
The shopkeeper was panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own shop - it read... 'Main entrance'

King of the Jungle?
A lion woke up one morning feeling really rowdy and mean. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!
Later, the lion confronts an ox and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The terrified ox stammers, "Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times leaving the lion feeling like it'd been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomps on the lion till it looks like a corn tortilla and ambles away.
The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant, "Just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so upset about it!"

Fishcakes
A man walks into a fish and chip shop with a fish under his arm.
"Do you have any fishcakes?" he asks.
"Yes, of course," says the fish shop owner.
"Great," replies the man, nodding at the fish under his arm, "It's his birthday."

Male assertiveness
A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife so he went to a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and so gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home.
He had finished the book by the time he reached his house.
The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.
Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?"
"The funeral director," said his wife.

Meeting the Big Guy
A rich American tourist was holidaying overseas, and was intent on seeing the Big Guy. There he stood, in a big long line with a rather expensive suit on, hoping the Big Guy would notice how smart he was and perhaps talk a few words with him.
As the Big Guy made his way slowly down the line, he walked right past the American, hardly even noticing him.
The Big Guy then stopped next to a low-life sot, leaned over and whispered something in the sot's ear, and made his way on again.
This really angered the American. After speaking with the drunkard, the American agreed to pay $1000 dollars to exchange clothing, in the hope that the Big Guy would speak to him the next day.
The next morning the American stood in the line, waiting to see the Big Guy and hopefully exchange a few words. The Big Guy was making his way slowly up to the American. When he finally reached him, he leaned over to the American and spoke softly into his ear..
"I thought I told you yesterday to get out of here?!"

WHAT IS HEALTH?

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
********************WHAT IS HEALTH?******************
Everyone's definition is probably different depending on your health or lack of it at any given moment. I was last healthy when I was 18, yet still there were some things I'd like to have changed. Someone lying in a hospital bed in pain might see health is the absense of pain. A runner with Asthma might say he sees health as being able to breath. In short we all have our own measurement. But Science defines it like this: Health is Metabolic efficiency, When every thing is working properly. No one is perfectly healthy, we all have our own efficencies and ineffecencies, a blend that is unique to each of us.
ONE MAN'S ASSESSMENT
(1)
*Health to me is waking up energized to be able to accomplish anything I wish.
*Health is being able to answer questions that will make me a better person–without reluctance or playing small.
*Health is a lifestyle not something that you get or achieve.
*Health is being flexible–in mind and body.
*Health is the ability to enjoy adventure.
*Health at its true core is a means to live a life worth writing about in books.


Physical health is tied to Mental health:
(2)
As we grow up, we learn that we are loved for our abilities but hated for our disabilities. This happens at home, at play, at school, and at work. Sometimes, this even happens with our doctors, especially if our disabilities mystify them or remind them of their own disabilities.
So, we try to hide our disabilities from people and from ourselves. This charade undermines our relationships and our self-esteem. We learn to fear society and hate ourselves.


Health has a lot to do with the care and nourishment of our bodies. Taking in the correct nutrients for a living body are as important as not trying to use water to power your vehicle. Each nutrient we chew up and swallow forms a part of the building blocks necessary to maintain health, or if it's not good food it will be part of our problems whatever they may be. Computer people call it GIGO, garbage in=garbage out, Nutritionists say: You are what you eat.

Health-The state of being hale, sound, or whole, in body, mind, or soul; especially, the state of being free from physical disease or pain.


Mental health is related to physical health; the power of the mind can most assuredly affect one's physical health. I knew a lady once who felt so inferior that she hated herself with a strong passion, her body responded to her by slowly killing her. Her health deteriorated to the point of nearly death. Someone pointed out that she needed to revise her thoughts and her body followed, she is on the road to health now, she has improved by at least 70%.

The above quote about hiding our disabilities was part of my own experience. I used to try hard to mask the problems I was having because of the stroke I had. My memory has always been terribly bad since then but I tried to hide it and the muscle-spasming that tortured my body. The harder I tried to hide it the worse it became and the more I hated myself for my inabilities.

All of these conflicting emotions made staying healthy impossible, but with a new attitude and new eating habits I'm turing a terrible situation into one that is being corrected rapidly.

I take CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal AND IT PACKS THE CELLS WITH LIFE-GIVING OXYGEN, AND ENERGY.

More on health:
In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. ~Author Unknown
*The greatest wealth is health. ~Virgil
*Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. ~Doug Larson
*Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. ~World Health Organization, 1948
*The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history, "tender loving care" has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. ~Larry Dossey
*As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. ~Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979
*The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990
*He who takes medicine and neglects to diet wastes the skill of his doctors. ~Chinese Proverb
*If I'd known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. ~Leon Eldred

Vow of Silence
At a remote monastery deep in the woods, the monks followed a rigid vow of silence. This vow could only be broken once a year on Christmas, by one monk, and the monk could speak only one sentence.
One Christmas, Brother Thomas had his turn to speak and said, "I love the delightful mashed potatoes we have every year with the Christmas roast!" Then he sat down. Silence ensued for 365 days.
The next Christmas, Brother Michael got his turn, and said, "I think the mashed potatoes are lumpy and I truly despise them!" Once again, silence ensued for 365 days.
The following Christmas, Brother Paul rose and said, "I am fed up with this constant bickering!"

My friend asked a crop-duster, how his day had gone. "It was the worst day of my life," replied the man. "This morning I was up in my plane dusting a field when I nicked a power line and damaged the wing of the plane. When I got back to the office, my boss chewed me out. Then the guy from the FAA chewed me out. On my way home, I stopped off at a bar and was handed a warm beer. So I yelled at the bartender, 'Don't you have any cold beers?'
The bartender said, 'Sorry, but we've been out of electricity all day ever since some idiot crop-duster hit a power line down the road.'"

Actual Letter from [someone] who farms in Kansas .........
I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed
it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since they congregated at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away) that it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home. I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, who had seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They
were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes my deer showed up - 3 of them.
I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation. I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope and received an education.
The first thing that I learned is that while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope. That deer EXPLODED.
The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope with some dignity. A deer, no chance.
That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me
that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I originally imagined.
The only up side is that they do not have as much stamina as many animals. A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head.
At that point I had lost my taste for corn fed venison. I just wanted to
get that devil creature off the end of that rope. I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual.
Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various
large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I
didn't want the deer to have it suffer a slow death so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I had set before hand. Kind of like a squeeze chute.
I got it to back in there and started moving up so I could get my rope back.

Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of
my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head - almost like a pit bull.
They bite HARD and it hurts.
The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was
ineffective. It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now) tricked it.
While I kept it busy tearing the stuffin' out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.
That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day. Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their
hooves are surprisingly sharp. I learned a long time ago that when an> animal like a horse strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make
an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape. This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously such trickery would not work. In the course of a
millisecond I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.
The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses
after all, besides being twice as strong and three times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.
Now when a deer paws at you and knocks you down it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed What
they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.
I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away. Now for the local legend. I was pretty beat up. My scalp was split open, I had several large goose eggs, my wrist was bleeding pretty good and felt
broken (it turned out to be just badly bruised) and my back was bleeding in a few places, though my insulated canvas jacket had protected me from most of the worst of it. I drove to the nearest place, which was the co-op. I got out of the truck, covered in blood and dust and looking like hell. The guy who ran the place saw me through the window and came running out yelling 'what happened?'
I have never seen any law in the state of Kansas that would prohibit an individual from roping a deer. I suspect that this is an area that they have overlooked entirely. Knowing, as I do, the lengths to which law
enforcement personnel will go to exercise their power, I was concerned that they may find a way to twist the existing laws to paint my actions as criminal. I swear...not wanting to admit that I had done something
monumentally stupid played no part in my response. I told him 'I was attacked by a deer'. I did not mention that at the time I had a rope on it.
The evidence was all over my body. Deer prints on the back of my jacket where it had stomped all over me and a large deer print on my face where it had struck me there. I asked him to call somebody to come get me. I
didn't think I could make it home on my own. He did. Later that afternoon, a game warden showed up at my house and wanted to know about the deer attack. Surprisingly, deer attacks are a rare thing and
wildlife and parks was interested in the event. I tried to describe the attack as completely and
accurately as I could. I was filling the grain hopper and this deer came out of nowhere and just started kicking the hell out of me and BIT me.
It was obviously rabid or insane or something.
EVERYBODY for miles around knows about the deer attack (the guy at the co-op has a big mouth). For several weeks people dragged their kids in
the house when they saw deer around and the local ranchers carried rifles when they filled their feeders. I have told several people the story, but NEVER anybody around here. I have to see these people every day and as an outsider - a 'city folk'. I have enough trouble fitting in without them snickering behind my back and whispering 'there is the crazy who tried to rope the deer.'
~~~
My blessing for you is that you believe that you are the wonderfully made child of God who deserves to be healthy and sound, That you are mentally ready and equipped to be a vital part of your community and to stay in that condition throughout your entire long lives.

DETAILS ON ENZYMES

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
******************DETAILS ON ENZYMES*****************
Enzymes are proteins made up of amino acids. They are catalysts to create biological reactions, they are not used up in the process. Some of the required reactions[biological function] would happen very slowly or not a all without the enzymes. The amino acids in enzymes connect to make protein chains. These chains often bond together, creating patterns that seem to fold or twist into certain shapes, this gives each its distinct characteistics and function. If the specific pattern is disrupted the enzyme could be rendered inactive or be destroyed.

Enzyme each have a specific function and are essential to every spect of life, and they perform all the functions necessary for life. Without these basic biochemical purposes occuring; building compounds to break down substances [digestion, for instance], elimination of unwanted chemicals, life becomes encreasingly more precarious.

Food we eat is essentially just a mix of chemicals broken down by enzymes. Nutrients released by the foods we eat are the raw materials for our ability to maintain health. Vitamins and other nurtrients cannot be used in the body by themselves but are assisted by the action of the various enzymes. Enzymes are the key that unlocks all the goodness [vitamins, minerals, proteins and each amino acid-hormones that produce the health from various organs doing their jobs properly] in each tasty morsel we eat. Enzymes, while not alive themselves are the workers that assist many biological, chemical, and metabolic reactions.

Often enzymes need certain vitamins and minerals like Magnesium [which participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions] to be utilized properly, these are called co-enzymes. All enzymes are necessary and if a co-enzyme is not available, the enzyme in question will not perform its duties. This is why we need whole fresh foods, complete balance of diet and foods that are raw and grown with good healthy soils that have all the raw ingredients to make for healthy plants to help us stay healthy, see how all of this is important, how everything on the planet contributes to the health of the rest?

Enzymes run the body, every single operation in the whole organism must be facilitated by enzymes, Without the role the enzymes play illness begins to befall the body. All the additional supplements you can take will not be efficasious if the proper enzymes are not in evidence to break them down and allow them to be absorbed by the body. Cooked enzymes are dead enzymes, they do not help the body to maintain health.

Lack of digestive enzymes can cause any of the following and probably a lot more: Diabetes, Allergies, Skin afflictions, Arthrtis, Fibrocystic or cystic breast disease, Lysosomal Storage Diseases-Fabry, Gaucher, Hurler, Niemann-Pick, Pompe, Tay-Sachs diseases, Sleep disorders, RA, osteoarthritis and fibrositis, chronic fatigue, depression, weight loss, and cancers. In fact a 100% whole raw, fresh foods diet is often used to clean a body of a cancer that has set up shop, by those cancer clinics you hear about with the awesome rate of cures.

We NEED ENZYMES TO DIGEST OUR FOODS!! We don't get them from cooked foods. No proper digestion- no health, we just can't assimilate our foods without digestive enzymes, but never fear, my dear, you can still get some of these lovely digestive enzymes from your pancreas, you know that nice little organ nestled by the liver that gives us insulin to keep us from being Diabetics? One small problem however, our poor over-worked pancreas only has a finite amount of digestive enzymes to give us when we eat too much cooked foods, then it's curtains, Bub, you just get sicker and sicker, then you die. Juicy health


Ok, I'm not a Scientist, I'm merely paraphrasing what science has come up with to make easy reading for an extremely complicated subject, Please read the sources I've listed for yourself, to learn more.

In order to make sure I get plenty of enzymes I take CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal.

HEALTH FREEDOM OR TYRANNY

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
**************HEALTH FREEDOM OR TYRANNY**************

Our Health freedoms are coming under attack by the FDA "experts" (the same corrupt officials who re-approved Vioxx after it killed over 50,000 Americans). They say they want to re-classify things like Fruit or vegetable juices, herbs, vitamin supplements, even healing services as "unauthorized" medical treatments, to either raise the prices for these products or to make them illegal to sell. They want to regulate Alternative health and insist that people take pharmaceuticals rather than natural substances. They want more profits for the drug companies.
(1)
The FDA is accepting public comments on the docket until April 30th. They tried to sneak this under the radar, but word got out and now the natural health community is up in arms over this rule. If you wish to protect your access to nutritional supplements, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic medicine or any other "complementary" or "alternative" modality, it is crucial that you take action to post your comments with the FDA right now and write your representatives in Washington to put a stop to this outrageous effort to destroy natural medicine. (And be sure to really write them. Just sending an email has virtually no impact compared to writing a physical letter in your own words.)


See the document for yourself.

Here is an except from that document
(1)
..."biologically based practices" includes, but is not limited to, botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, prebiotics and probiotics: whole diets, and "functional foods". ...a botanical product intended for use in treating a disease would generally be regulated as a drug." ..."functional foods" may be subject to FDA regulation as foods, dietary supplements, or drugs under the Act.

Translation: All foods, supplements, superfoods and functional foods may be reclassified as drugs by the FDA, then regulated off the market.


You might want to contact the FDA and let them know what you think of the proposed guidelines. Make sure to include the docket # (No. 2006D-0480) with your comments. You can write to them at:

Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305)
5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061
Rockville, MD 20852

There was an online site, but surprise[!] it's been hacked.try this site to contact the FDA concerning this fiasco.



I want to stop right here and post the real cost of pharmaceuticals:
The first item in the list is the name of the drug and the dosage, the second is the cost to the consumer, the third; the actual cost to the drug company for 100 tabs, the last number is the percentage of the mark-up.
(2)

~Celebrex 100 mg, $130.27, $0.60, 21,712%
~Claritin 10 mg, $215.17, $0.71, 30,306%
~Keflex 250 mg, $157.39, $1.88 8,372%
~Lipitor 20 mg, $272.37, $5.80, 4,696%
~Norvasc 10 mg, $188.29, $0.14, 134,493%
~Paxil 20 mg, $220.27, $7.60, 2,898%
~Prevacid 30 mg, $44.77, $1.01, 34,136%
~Prilosec 20 mg, $360.97, $0.52, 69,417%
~Prozac 20 mg, $247.47, $0.11, 224,973%
~Tenormin 50 mg, $104.47, $0.13, 80,362%
~Vasotec 10 mg, $102.37, $0.20, 51,185%
~Xanax 1mg, $136.79, $0.024, 569,958%
~Zestril 20 mg, $89.89, $3.20, 2,809%
~Zithromax 600mg, $1,482.19, $18.78, 7,892%
~Zocor 40mg, $350.27, $8.63, 4,059%
~Zoloft 50mg, $206.87, $1.75, 11,821%


Over the years we've heard about the reports that this supplement or that alternative medicine "has been proven unreliable, by scientific testing by the minions of the FDA, then we find out the findings are skewed, or slanted or they used only part of the supplement to test, not the whole plant. They tell us if one person has a difficulty with a single herb, then that herb must be banned, yet thousands have died from Vioxx, [for one..] and it has been put back on the market, and the people going to their doctor are trusting their physician and taking this poisonous drug.

Read what's out there, and decide for yourself but do it quickly because if the FDA has their way there will be no more choice.

As for me and for now I'm taking: CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it.

Also: SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Got Any Grapes
A duck walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?" The bartender, confused, tells the duck that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.
The next day, the duck returns and says, "Got any grapes?" Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.
The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: ''Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!''
The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, ''Got any nails?''
Confused, the bartenders says no.
''Good!'' says the duck. ''Got any grapes?''

Later the man drove to the Eiffel Tower. The man got out of the car and the monkey followed. Later the man finally reached the top, but the monkey was right behind him.
The man just burst and yelled, "What do you want!"

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the barber finished the cut, the florist asked about his bill and the barber replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The
florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning, there is a 'Thank You' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing
community service this week." The cop is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there is a 'Thank You'
card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money
from you. I'm doing community service this week." The professor is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'Thank You' card and a dozen different books, such as "How to Improve Your Business" and "Becoming More Successful."
Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the members of our Congress!
~~~
My blessing today is may you live in a healthy environment, may your waistline be tiny and your wallet fat.

JUICY HEALTH

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
*********************JUICY HEALTH******************
There is a real need for raw foods in our diets fresh veggie juices are great for this, they help add back the enzymes in our diets that we normally don't get from our fast,gm,processed foods diets. Ok it's like this, read it and respond to your own betterment... We NEED ENZYMES TO DIGEST OUR FOODS!! We don't get them from cooked foods. No proper digestion- no health, we just can't assimilate our foods without digestive enzymes, but never fear, my dear, you can still get some of these lovely digestive enzymes from your pancreas, you know that nice little organ nestled by the liver that gives us insulin to keep us from being Diabetics? One small problem however, our poor over-worked pancreas only has a finite amount of digestive enzymes to give us when we eat too much cooked foods, then it's curtains, Bub, you just get sicker and sicker, then you die.

juice mix,celery,cilantro,bok choy, carrots,tomatoes

But, if we eat lots of fresh yummy locally grown vegetables and fruits [well, diabetics can eat too much fruits], we can regain a robust and vigorous health.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, in his book THE PERRICONE PROMISE, says the brighter and more colorful the vegetables and fruits are that we eat, the better our health improvements can be and the healthier we can expect to feel.

He says: There are three standouts in the super-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, positive-peptide-boosting arena, these are Pomegranates, Broccoli, sprouts, and blueberries.

The Green veggies are for cancer prevention, especially broccoli. Blue ones are for better balance and brain function: blueberries. He also mentions an array of other wonderful fresh foods with their various attributes, I totally recommend reading this book.

Back to juicing:
(1)
Vegetable juice does not raise insulin levels like fruit juice. The only exception to this would be carrot or beet juice which function similarly to fruit juice. Nevertheless, fruit juicing is certainly better for you and your children than drinking soda, which is a very bad idea.
Many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a result of poor food choices over many years. This limits our bodies' ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables and juicing tends to facilitate this absorption.
Also, vegetable juicing allows you to eat more of the vegetables than you normally would otherwise. By incorporating the juice into your healing diet, you will easily be able to reach the roughly 1 pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight that is generally recommended we should eat every day.


HERE IS A SAMPLE OF SOME GOOD COMBINATIONS FOR JUICING:
(2)
You can test the following combinations or create your own:
Carrots, parsley and celery
Carrots, cucumber and celery
Carrots, spinach and kale
Carrots, wheat grass and kale
Carrots and small amounts of garlic, onion and ginger
Tomato, cucumber parsley, celery and broccoli
Tomato, green pepper, celery, cucumber, parsley and a bit of sea salt


My favorite one is celery, carrots,bokchoy and cilantro, sometimes I'll toss a Jalapeno pepper in there for a nice piquant flavor.

Here is a partial list of good juicing veggies:
- carrots - beets -daikon -radishes -FRESH celery (root and greens), -ginger, garlic, cayenne -wheat grass, barley grass, dinkel grass -parsley (root and greens)
- dark green vegetables -kale -cucumber -pepper -dandelions, I like the leafy bits of celery for the bitterness, and bok choy being a cruciferous vegetable is also good.



JUICERS
There are auger types and top feeds, mine is a cheap Oster easy to clean but probably won't last long the way I use it.

The Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL, is considered the best, but it costs nearly $300.00.

There are lots of juicers out there, investigate, because some are really not that pricey and will still get you in the ballpark.

I have been taking my CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it.

~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.

Behaviorist Solution
Joe has been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed.
It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep. Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stops seeing the psychoanalyst and decides to try something different.
A few weeks later, Joe's former psychoanalyst meets his old client in the supermarket, and is surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful.
"Doc!" Joe says, "It's amazing! I'm cured!"
"That's great news!" the psychoanalyst says. "You seem to be doing much better. How?"
"I went to see another doctor," Joe says enthusiastically, "and he cured me in just ONE session!" "One?!" the psychoanalyst asks incredulously.
"Yeah," continues Joe, "my new doctor is a behaviorist." "A behaviorist?" the psychoanalyst asks. "How did he cure you in one session?"
"Oh, easy," says Joe. "He told me to cut the legs off of my bed."

A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant, waiting to place our order.
There was a big sign posted. "No bills larger than $20 will be accepted."
The woman in front of us, pointing to the sign, remarked, "Believe me, if I HAD a bill larger than $20, I wouldn't be eating here."
~~~
Mental Release
A man who had been in a mental home for some years finally seemed to have improved to the point where it was thought he might be released.
The head of the institution, in a fit of commendable caution, decided, however, to interview him first.
"Tell me," said he, "if we release you, as we are considering doing, what do you intend to do with your life?'
The inmate said, "It would be wonderful to get back to real life and if I do, I will certainly refrain from making my former mistake. I was a nuclear physicist, you know, and it was the stress of my work in weapons research that helped put me here. If I am released, I shall confine myself to work in pure theory, where I trust the situation will be less difficult and stressful."
"Marvelous," said the head of the institution.
"Or else," ruminated the inmate. "I might teach. There is something to be said for spending one's life in bringing up a new generation of scientists."
"Absolutely," said the head.
"Then again, I might write. There is considerable need for books on science for the general public. Or I might even write a novel based on my experiences in this fine institution."
"An interesting possibility," said the head.
"And finally, if none of these things appeals to me, I can always continue to be a teakettle."
~~~
Do You Have The Time
A man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly remembers an important meeting.
Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell if he is late or not. Then, he notices a patient similarly strolling about within the hospital fence.
Calling out to the patient, the man says, "Pardon me, sir, but do you have the time?"
The patient calls back, "One moment!" and throws himself upon the ground, pulling out a short stick as he does. He pushes the stick into the ground, and, pulling out a carpenter's level, assures himself that the stick is vertical.
With a compass, the patient locates north and with a steel ruler, measures the precise length of the shadow cast by the stick.
Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates rapidly, then swiftly packs up all his tools and turns back to the pedestrian, saying, "It is now precisely 3:29 pm, provided today is August 16th, which I believe it is."
The man can't help but be impressed by this demonstration, and sets his watch accordingly.
Before he leaves, he says to the patient, "That was really quite remarkable, but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at night, when the stick casts no shadow?" The patient holds up his wrist and says, "I suppose I'd just look at my watch."
~~~
Dumb Criminal
A man walked into a Circle-K (a convenience store similar to a 7-11), put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided.
The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars.
~~~
Cannibal Food
Two cannibals meet one day. The first cannibal says, "You know, I just can't seem to get a tender missionary. I've baked 'em, I've roasted 'em, I've stewed 'em, I've barbequed 'em, I've even tried every sort of marinade. I just cannot seem to get them tender."
The second cannibal asks, "What kind of missionary do you use?"
The other replied, "You know, the ones that hang out at that place at the bend of the river. They have those brown cloaks with a rope around the waist and their sort of bald on top with a funny ring of hair on their heads."
"Ah ha!" he replies. "No wonder.. those are friars!"
~~~
My blessing for you for today is that you will find your own best health solutions, you will live with a bounty of healthful meals and a resultant blessed and long life.

HEALTH IS A SUNNY DAY

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive
write to me at webriter@verizon.net or mark_my_bailey@yahoo.com.
********************HEALTH IS SUNSHINE**************
While Doctors are telling you that sunshine is horribly detrimental to your health and that it causes horrible cancers To break out all over, so what do they want us to do? Use lots of SUNBLOCK!!!!

Yet, recent information is coming to light that sunlight is very beneficial and even essential to life. It prevents cancers and colds and flus, it lifts our spirits and helps control autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn’s disease. It builds strong bones and teeth...and while they sell you calcium to help your bones do they tell you to lay off the sunscreen to make use of Nature's calcium absorber?

(1)
Recent studies have found that sunlight can help protect you from cancer of the:*breast *colon *ovary *bladder *womb *stomach *prostate gland
Vitamin D
The sun also provides us with our main source of vitamin D. Scientists have long been aware that this nutrient strengthens our bones and muscles and boosts the immune system.UVB converts ergosterol in the skin (a naturally occurring higher alcohol belonging to the steroid family) into vitamin D.

Ten minutes of daily exposure to sunlight will supply us with all the vitamin D that we need. The principal function of this vitamin is to promote calcium absorption in the gut and calcium transfer across cell membranes. This contributes to strong bones and a contented nervous system.

Low vitamin D is associated with several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis and Crohn’s disease. Recent laboratory experiments suggest that vitamin D can also prevent the growth and spread of cancerous tumours.
Sunshine can cheer you up
. Apart from the obvious positive associations we have with a sunny day, the sun can alter your mood chemically and even prevent depression. The onset of spring gives thousands of people relief from 'seasonal affective disorder' or SAD. This miserable condition is a suppression of serotonin experienced by many who are deprived of sunlight during the dreary winter months.
Sunlight also stimulates the pineal gland - a tiny pea-sized organ found in the base of the brain. Sometimes known as ‘the third eye’, the pineal gland produces certain types of chemicals called 'tryptamines'. One type of tryptamine, melatonin, keeps our body clock aware of night and day and the changing seasons.


(2)
expert doctors warn us to avoid almost any exposure to these potentially damaging rays – the sun’s radiation is known to suppress our immune system, give us cancer, and cause us premature aging.
However, there is a dilemma: we need this form of radiant energy for good health – in fact, without it our bodies become diseased with severe bone deformities (rickets). Most recently, research has shown that without the sun’s life-giving energy we are at thirty times greater risk of death from cancer.
Everyone feels better when the sun comes out. In addition to the cosmetic effects of tanning – making people more satisfied with their appearance – sunlight causes people to feel more active, energetic, balanced, strengthened, and less nervous.1 Many people can identify with the low-sunlight, winter depression symptoms of fatigue, lowered motivation, sleepiness, increased appetite, weight gain, irritability, and decreased sociability.2 Nicely summarized, sunshine is health and happiness.


(3)
Sunlight triggers an increase in the feel-good brain chemical serotonin. Serotonin controls sleep patterns, body temperature and your sex drive, and also lifts your mood and wards off depression.
Some people are extra sensitive to the lack of sunshine in the winter – so much so that they can suffer real depression called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Prescription drugs like Prozac stimulate the brain to produce more serotonin but many SAD sufferers usually resort to an artificial light box instead as Prozac can have unpleasant side effects...How safe is spending time in the sun? Well, it is perfectly safe to stay in the sunshine until your skin has a healthy glow. Obviously it does no good to stay in the sun unprotected and for too long, but the anti-sun lobby has gone a bit too far the other way – and some people have even been showing signs of vitamin D deficiency as they spend all their time avoiding the sun.
The key word here is MODERATE. Sun therapy works on health when you go about it in a safe and controlled way. This means building up exposure slowly and gradually. It does not mean throwing caution to the wind and allowing your poor body to sizzle!
The Sunshine Vitamin that is really a hormone
Additionally, it controls the body's master gland, the pituitary, which secretes many essential hormones. The hypothalamus initiates the body's stress response, affects our emotions and controls immune functions. Significantly, our "body clock" is also located in tiny centers in the hypothalamus. Our body clock-controlled circadian rhythms are the 24 hour cycles of light and darkness. These light-sensitive rhythms are biological, imposed upon us by Mother Nature.
So, anything that disrupts these rhythms (like inadequate sunlight) has a far-reaching impact on our body's ability to function properly. This explains why, since sunlight has been shown to be the most effective regulator of the body clock, it is also the quickest method of recovering from jet lag.
Sunlight also triggers the body to make its own vitamin D, which is crucial to health. Vitamin D not only makes strong bones and healthy teeth, but it keeps the immune system working. Studies have shown that exposing the body to sunlight or even artificial ultra-violet light- increases the number of white cells in the blood.


See WHY DO WE GET COLDS AND FLU IN WINTER? and more on Vitamin D

Yes, Vitamin D, but more importantly the Vitamin D your body makes from sunlight, knocks out your susseptabilty to colds and flus.

Is sunscreen dangerous?
(4)
the use of sunscreen chemicals may be increasing the incidence of cancer and that sunlight exposure may actually decrease human cancer rates and improve your health.
It now appears that many heavily-used chemical sunscreens may actually increase cancers by virtue of their free radical generating properties. And more insidiously, many commonly used sunscreen chemicals have strong estrogenic actions that may cause serious problems in sexual development and adult sexual function, and may further increase cancer risks.
It is not that these compounds were ever viewed as benign substances. Organic chemists have been long aware of the dangers of compounds in chemical sunscreens. Such chemicals are widely used to start free radical reactions during chemical synthesis. These chemicals are the dangerous types that one carefully keeps away from your skin while working in a laboratory. To use them, you mix them into a combination of other chemicals, then flash the mixture with an ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet absorbing chemicals then generate copious amounts of free radicals that initiated the desired chemical reactions


As for me, I'm taking D-3, it's really not that pricey for the benefits especially here in the frozen North. but Sunshine is best. Also I eat lots of raw bright-colored veggies and make a nice juice twice a day of the same veggies, I'm feeling so much better my health is more rapidly returning since I've started on this new regimen less than three weeks ago. The first week showede nearly a return t non-diabetic status. In fact I have made more progress in the last few weeks than I did all last year on my reversing diabetes diet. It is so worth changing my normal diet for.

CellPower™that helps control cravings, adds enzymes and fights diseases and fungi. It is most certainly a big reason My digestive system is so much better.

Also: SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.
~coconut oil


Also I really have to give you one little miracle I know to be true: Cinnamon, but it needs to be pure and at least a teaspoon per meal to do any good. It really lowers my blood glucose levels. OH AND SO DOES CELERY, EAT LOTS OF CELERY!

Engineers vs. Accoutants
Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" Asks an accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" Says one perplexed accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.
The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

"You have had two wishes already," the genie said, "but your second wish was for me to put everything back the way it was before you made your first wish. Thus, you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes. You now have one wish left."
"Okay," said the man, "I don't believe this, but what the heck. I wish I were irresistible to women."
"Funny," said the genie as it granted his wish and disappeared forever. "That was your first wish, too!"

BE GOOD TO YOUR VALENTINE

Sign-up for the weekly newsletter digest that is packed with the latest news in healthy living, you need this resource interactive

*********************YOUR VALENTINE****************
Today is Valentine's day; so what better time than today is there to look at heart health...

The heart is certainly an important image in life, Seen as the seat of our emotions of Love and well-being; it is a remarkable organ. After all, the heart muscle is responsible for pumping blood, oxygen and nutrients to all of your tissues, the heart works tirelessly day in and day out, never taking a break, constantly being relied on for your very survival.

A healthy life-style including exercise and great foods is essential to keeping our lovely heart going for many long Healthy years.

(1)
Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has many benefits. It can:
Strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system.
Improve your circulation and help your body use oxygen better.
Improve your heart failure symptoms.
Increase energy levels so you can do more activities without becoming tired or short of breath.
Increase endurance.
Lower blood pressure.
Improve muscle tone and strength.

(1)
Exercise can be divided into three basic types:
Stretching or the slow lengthening of the muscles. Stretching the arms and legs before and after exercising helps prepare the muscles for activity and helps prevent injury and muscle strain. Regular stretching also increases your range of motion and flexibility.
Cardiovascular or aerobic is steady physical activity using large muscle groups. This type of exercise strengthens the heart and lungs and improves the body's ability to use oxygen. Aerobic exercise has the most benefits for your heart. Over time, aerobic exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure and improve your breathing (since your heart won't have to work as hard during exercise).
Strengthening exercises are repeated muscle contractions (tightening) until the muscle becomes tired. For people with heart failure, many strengthening exercises are not recommended

I deleted all soy references because my research doesn't concur with the official findings, So much Soy is genetically modified and it all must be highly processed to be palatable that it's not a food our bodies recognize, Also it has some inherent problems like "High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children." and "Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women." For just two of the many dangers....

Also I'd like to point out concerning the above list I'd add dark green leafy vegetables like Kale and Bok choy, and I want to remind you that all of these are best raw. If you do rely on Walnuts and Almonds, they also must be raw, our government requires that they be sterilized before sale so buy them at health food stores. I'd suggest thta rather than black tea whuich has strong caffeine tht stresses the heart it might be best to use this antioxidant:~Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many cardio complications. Chocolate is difficult to find that is not faked or turned into a high Fructose corn Syrup nightmare so I'd go with the above-mentioned master antioxidant.

Some definate Don'ts:
no processed foods
no High Fructose Corn Syrup
no highly cooked fats foods, While olive oil and garlic are great they are not great if cooked. If you want to cook someting in oil use only coconut oil.
no high temperature cooking /microwaves are out....

ARE YOU OVERWHELMED?
If you are telling yourself that all this is contrary to your ideas of how to live. Think about it this way, Is your health good enough to ignore it? Do you really want to spend your last days in awful pain after puking your guts up for weeks taking the Mustard gas derivitive the AMA calls Chemo therapy? Do you want to take rat poison the rest of your short life [rat poison-wayfarin- is what you get for blood thinning from your friendly neighborhood Doctor]. Are you feeling well enough now to ignore your health? Are you sure it will stay that way?

In conclusion, it's easy; eat natural, fresh veggies and fruits stay away from refined foods,[especially meats and grains with additives], exercise,lose weight, it's that dunlap that is stressing your Valentine!

I'M STILL LOSING WEIGHT, MY BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS ARE BELOW 110 CONSISTANTLY, MY CHOLESTEROL LEVELS ARE WAY LOWE, I FEEL GREAT AND YOU CAN TOO!
I have been taking my CellPower™that helps control cravings, adds enzymes and fights diseases and fungi. It is most certainly a big reason My digestive system is so much better.

Also: SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Colorado and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Nebraska. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a girl from Montana. He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.
