Some have said that it is caused by eating genetically modified corn, some say the cause is completely unknown, Still others insist it is an hysterical condition, the fibers being inserted in the skin while scratching from a psychological aberration that the sufferer has. <br />Another item to this mix is that that no less an institution of reliability- the CDC, you remember the center of disease control, yeah those folks,are beginning to investigate veracity of the claims of at least 150 people in San Francisco who claim to have this disease. One woman in this group claims to have something like tiny green shrimp coming out of her face. Is it any wonder that people who are dignified and wear extra letters after their August names see the people who claim to have this disease as macadamias, or at the very best- filberts.<br /><br />I will present what I have found and you can decide for yourself.<br /><br />I want to add one other factor before we go into details, I just want to give you a list here: Candidiasis, Fibromyalgia, CFS, MCS, Agent Orange disease, and Desert Storm disease. What do these have in common, they also were not recognized as diseases for a very long time by the A.M.A. This by no means is an exclusive list, it is merely the tip of the iceberg.<br /><br />First I want to present the evidence a given in Wikipedia. They quote the CDC as saying, "that it is not known at present whether the condition represents a new disease entity, or whether persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious." The CDC is still on-the-fence as their investigation is not complete, Wiki also presents, "According to an article written by the Mayo Clinic staff, health professionals are divided in their attitudes about Morgellons: some believe it is a specific condition and expect it to be confirmed by research in the future; some believe it is not a separate condition, rather its symptoms result from other conditions, often psychological; and some do not acknowledge Morgellons disease at all or reserve judgment until more is known about the condition."<br /><br />Gee, it still sounds like what the medicos were saying for years about Fibromyalgia, and since the Army doesn't want to pay out the suits concerning Desert Storm disease, they are still saying; that these conditions do not exist except in the minds of the sufferers. However, she hastens to add, this is not empirical evidence that it and Morgellons.<br /><br />Also presented for your perusal and consideration is this site, which features photos of the 'fibers' that seem to inhabit the epidermis of the affected victims. I can in no way verify the origin of these photos, whose skin they were take from or exactly what we are seeing, WARNING: these are very graphic photos.<br /><br />On the CBS news [wow all the most prestigious sources have a three letter designation, just as the researchers and members of the A.M.A. have the 'piled higher and deeper' after their names] it was said, " <br />There may be a dramatic new breakthrough for hundreds of Texans who suffer from a mysterious disease. CBS 11 News was the only station at a medical conference that uncovered new research in the fight to prove Morgellons Disease is real.<br />…<br />In 2007, Dr. Stricker and experts in agrobacterium studied skin samples from seven Morgellons patients and found the DNA from the bacteria in all seven samples. Now the question is, how are people getting the bacteria in their bodies.<br /><br />Firstly, this is not new, it’s over a year old. These findings were reported in January, 2007 - over a year ago.<br /><br />Secondly, and more importantly, there is a very easy explanation as to how the bacteria got in their bodies: catheters.<br /><br />There may be a dramatic new breakthrough for hundreds of Texans who suffer from a mysterious disease.

The dog's Owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, Were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. <br />I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family. We couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. <br />The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.<br />Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life ---like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."<br />~~~<br /><strong>Did They Really Mean That? </strong><br />The following are actual newspaper headlines: <br />- March Planned For Next August <br />- L.A. Voters Approve Urban Renewal by Landslide <br />- Patient at Death's Door - Doctors Pull Him Through <br />- Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped <br />- Prostitutes Appeal to Pope <br />- Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant <br />- Killer Sentenced to Die for Second Time in 10 Years <br />- Never Withhold Herpes Infection from Loved One <br />- Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers <br />- President Wins on Budget, But More Lies Ahead <br />- Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over <br />~~~<br /><strong>God and the Scientist </strong><br />God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him, <br />"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning." <br />"Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God. <br />"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man." <br />"Well, that's very interesting...show Me." <br />So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man. <br />"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Make your own dirt." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Accident </strong><br />There was an engineer, manager and programmer driving down a steep mountain road. <br />The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. <br />Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff. <br />They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed. <br />The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution." <br />The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it." <br />The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again." <br />~~~<br /><strong>What Kind of Tracks </strong><br />Two boys go out on a walk. One looks down and said, "look at those, those are deer tracks my dad told me about them." <br />The second boy says no those are elk tracks, my dad told me about them. Then the first boy says, "No those are deer tracks." <br />The second boy says, "NO those are elk tracks." <br />One hour later they were run over by a train. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Painting a Porch </strong><br />Wanting to earn some money, Cletus decided to hire himself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. He went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" <br />Cletus said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" <br />The man replied, "He should. He was standing on the porch." <br />A short time later, Cletus came to the door to collect his money. "You're finished already?" the man asked. <br />"Yes," Cletus answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." <br />Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," Cletus added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Dog Watch </strong><br />Guest: "Why does your dog sit there and watch me eat?" <br />Hotel Host: "I can't imagine, unless it's because you have the plate he usually eats from." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Biting Nails</strong> <br />Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over tea. <br />"I do wish that my Elmer would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous." <br />"My Billy used to do the same thing," the older woman replied. "But I broke him of the habit." <br />"How?" <br />"I hid his teeth." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Best Patients </strong><br />Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. <br />The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." <br />The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." <br />The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." <br />The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would." <br />But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Driving Test </strong><br />Two truck driving brothers are taking a driving test, and the instructor asks, "You're driving the truck and you're at the top of a mountain and your brakes go out. You notice an accident at the bottom of the mountain, what do you do?" <br />The trucker replies, "The first thing I do is wake up my brother." <br />"What good is that going to do?" the instructor asks. <br />The trucker replies replies, "In all of the years we've been driving he ain't never seen an accident like the one we're about to get in to." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Life </strong><br />Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!" <br />~~~<br />May you be blessed with abundant good health but failing that may you have only diseases approved by the A.M.A. so you can actually get some help<br /><br />sources<br />1-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons<br />2-http://www.natural-health-information-centre.com/morgellons-disease-natural-treatments.html<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Magnified 7000x, diatomaceous earth looks like spiney honeycombs. These deposits are mined from underwater beds or from ancient dried lake bottoms thousands of years old. This means, diatomaceous earth has an unlimited shelf life provided you keep it dry. Filtering and filler are two main uses but diatomaceous earth also ends up in paints, cosmetics, drugs, chemical insecticides, etc. Because the milling produces different sized and shaped particles, it is important not to use the filtering type for agricultural purposes it's best to buy Food grade DE. <br />It can be used for aquarium and pool filtering; But that form isn't right for internal use.<br /><br /><strong>ANIMALS</strong><br />We use it to worm and de-'bug' farm animals and pets, for chickens it can be sprinkled on the food and in their water for internal bugs and many other problems [germs, etc,] sprinkled on bedding to keep it dry and bug free, also it can be sprinkled directly on the animal for mites [the scourge of the barnyard] On goats it also works the same and it helps guard against joint pain [it has lots of magnesium in it-works for joint pain in dogs too]. The quickest, easiest, cheapest way to deal with fleas, ticks, termites, Japanese beetles, (and other yucky pests) is to spray DE on them [animals or plants]. I usually put it in a spray bottle and add water, [proportions? Oh maybe a couple of tablespoons to a quart of liquid, I add other stuff to my plant sprayer so it's hard to say exactly how much is in it.] When it- the water/DE mixture- dries out; the tiny sharp particles of the DE will scrape the bodies of the bugs and eventually kills them by leaving scratches in their bodies and drying them out.<br /><br />(2)<blockquote>Diatomaceous Earth may be used as a barrier to control adult flea beetles, sawfly, coddling moth, twig borer, thrips, mites, cockroach, slugs, snails and many other insects such as:<br />Aphids, thrips, earwigs, silverfish, and ants. Can be used for bedbugs, cabbage root flies, carrot root flies, fleas, pillbugs, ticks and is helpful in dealing with fungus gnats. Indoor and Outdoor Application: Sprinkle a light layer of DE in areas where pests frequent, including under stoves, cabinets, sinks, garbage cans, window and door frames and sills,<br />entrance ways, sewer pipes and drains, and in cracks and crevices. Repeat treatment as needed.<br />Carpet Beetles: Thoroughly dust along baseboards, carpet edges, under furniture, carpet, and rugs, and in closets and shelving.<br />Bedbugs: Take apart bed and dust joints and channels. Dust any hollow tubing and the interior framework as well as the mattress and all cracks in the room. <br />Fleas: Thoroughly dust carpets and pet's bedding and sleeping areas, as well as cracks and baseboards. It also can be rubbed into your pet's fur.<br />Flies: Thoroughly dust areas where flies frequent (walls, straw bedding, livestock pens). It also can be applied to livestock coat as an insect repellent/contact insecticide. </blockquote><br /><br />(3)<blockquote>Completely safe and nontoxic <br />-Controls fleas and ticks-Stimulates basic metabolism-Converts feed better-Reduces odor and moisture in barns and stalls-Results in better coat and/or hoof condition <br />Keeps fly larvae from developing in manure, noticeably reducing the fly population <br />Cost effective-Reduces annual vet bills-Controls worms and internal parasites without chemicals-Reduces overall animal stress </blockquote><br /><br /><strong>HUMANS</strong><br />It's completely safe to ingest-for anything larger than an insect. In fact their are many health benefits. Taken daily, it helps eliminate worms and parasites from the body and keeps the bowels clean. Food grade DE is also known to sweep some bacteria out of the system. Most people who consume food grade DE take it on a daily basis, ourselves, employees, and children included. DE contains 15 naturally occurring minerals that are excellent for the body including-calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, iron, phosphorous. These minerals promote healthier, shinier hair, skin and nails. I take it every day in my fresh veggie juice, it helps to make healthy gums, teeth, hair and fingernails. My gums have visibly tightened around my teeth, my husband's chronically loose teeth are tightened in his jaw.

He was about 100 feet down a shear cliff and about 900 feet from the floor of the canyon below. If he should slip again he'd plummet to his death. <br />Full of fear, he cries out, "Help me!" But there was no answer. Again and again he cried out but to no avail. Finally he yelled, "Is anybody up there?

Few people really know one of the most important secrets to making "The Secret" work: Establishing the right nutrition and dietary habits that clear your nervous system and allow intention to flow. In this article, I'll share some of the best nutritional secrets about The Secret, covering: <br /><br />1) Foods and substances that interfere with the power of your intention. <br /><br />2) Foods and substances that enhance the power of your intention. <br /><br />Once you learn this information, you'll instantly discover ways to greatly enhance the effects you get when you apply your intention (or invoke the Law of Attraction). You'll also come to recognize why the great spiritual leaders throughout the world all gravitate towards similar diets that are free of certain substances (such as red meat). <br /><br />Let's begin by examining those foods and substances that interfere with the power of intention and the Law of Attraction. <br /><br />Foods and substances that block the power of intention <br />The power of intention (i.e. the Law of Attraction) only works when you have a clear, healthy nervous system that's free from distortion. Invoking the power of intention is a lot like broadcasting a message from a radio tower, and your nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves, etc.) are the transmission tissues. <br /><br />A radio tower only works well when it has sufficient electricity, clarity and symmetry. It also can't be gunked up with interfering signals or overriding disturbances. Your own nervous system is the same: For it to function well, it must be free of distortion and operating at peak performance. The following items greatly interfere with healthy nervous system function and therefore inhibit your power of intention: <br /><br />Meat products: All animal-derived foods impair the clarity of intention, and this is especially so if those foods are derived from cruelly-treated animals (like feedlot cattle). This is why so many spiritual leaders around the world refrain from eating meat. It's also why vegetarians are generally more peaceful, spiritually balanced people than heavy meat eaters. <br /><br />Alcohol and drugs: All recreational drugs (including alcohol) impair healthy nervous system function. Clarity cannot be achieved while under the influence of nicotine, alcohol, meth or street drugs. While there are medicinal uses for some natural drugs (such as medical marijuana), their use still inevitably interferes with clarity and clouds the Law of Attraction, so use them sparingly if at all. On the other hand, there are also natural plant-based medicines that actually enhance clarity when used as part of sacred spiritual journeys. Western society has declared such substances to be illegal drugs, but they are deliberately and consciously used with great care in healing journey experiences in many other parts of the world. <br /><br />Caffeine: Even caffeine interferes with healthy nervous system function. The onslaught of daily stimulants leaves the body depleted of energy, unable to reach the level of vibration necessary to effectively broadcast intention to the universe. <br /><br />Television: Watching television fills your mind with false messages, clouding your mind with ideas that distort reality and impair your ability to connect with the universe. Have you ever noticed that the people who watch the most television seem to be unable to attract those things into their lives that they want? It's because television acts like an intention blocking device, draining away your intention energy and filling your head with ideas and beliefs that only serve the interests of corporations and governments. <br /><br />Processed foods: Processed foods not only lack the nutrition necessary for healthy nervous system function, they're also typically loaded with excitotoxins like MSG, aspartame and yeast extract. These substances damage the functioning of the nervous system, making any practice of the Law of Attraction virtually impossible. <br /><br />Fragrance products: All fragrance products based on artificial chemicals impair the healthy functioning of the nervous system by dulling the senses and limiting sensory acquity. Achieving success with the power of intention requires eliminating ALL fragrance products from your life. These include most shampoos, laundry detergents, dryer sheets, soaps, perfumes, cosmetics, deodorants, skin creams and other similar products. In each of these categories, there are many alternatives available: Natural products that are either fragrance-free or made from essential oil fragrances only. If you wish to find success in applying the Law of Attraction, it's crucial to get these artificial fragrance chemicals out of your life (and away from your nervous system). <br /><br />Processed sugar: Sugar greatly impacts the healthy functioning of the nervous system, and refined sugar is a lot like crack in the way it alters (and impairs) brain function. All refined sugars should be avoided, including high-fructose corn syrup (the sweetener in sodas), dextrose, sucrose and others. While you're at it, avoid white bread and refined grains, too, because they're very similar to sugars in the way they impact the nervous system. <br /><br />Aspartame: This artificial chemical sweetener greatly impairs healthy nervous system function. This is partly because aspartame can chemically break down into trace amounts of formaldehyde, and formaldehyde is an extremely toxic nerve poison. Drinking aspartame is sort of like poisoning your brain with chemical preservatives. That's great if you're trying to embalm yourself, but not so good if you actually plan to use your brain for anything useful. <br /><br />Things that enhance the power of your intention <br />Once you're free of the substances interfering with your power of intention, you can move on to enhancing your nervous system health with proper supportive substances. Here are the most important items to consider: <br /><br />Raw foods: Raw foods really cleanse your nervous system and restore healthy brain function. Drinking raw food juices on a regular basis (freshly made in your own blender, not processed) greatly enhances clarity and the power of intention. Most spiritual leaders around the world follow diets based at least in part on raw foods. Following a raw foods diet for just 30 days will dramatically clear your senses and turn you into a powerful broadcaster of intention. <br /><br />Vegetarian foods: Avoiding the consumption of meat and dairy products is also an important way to keep your system clear and lend power to your intention. Meat and dairy products stagnate the flow of energy throughout your mind and body, blocking the intention. To get the best results, go completely dairy free (except for raw, unprocessed milk, which qualifies as a raw food) and meat free. <br /><br />Personal integrity: Acting with integrity multiplies the power of your intention. When you consistently do what you promise, especially in relation to others, you gain power and confidence in your own actions. This translates into significant improvements in the Law of Attraction. People who steal from others, exploit them or harm them are acting outside of personal integrity and typically demonstrate a very poor ability to attract things into their lives that they really want. It's a vicious cycle, too: When they can't attract what they want, they turn to stealing, and this in turn diminishes their ability to attract what they want in the future. <br /><br />Clean water: Hydration is crucial for good nervous system performance. I will even say that you cannot possibly engage in effective intention exercises when you're in a state of chronic dehydration (as most people are). Drinking plenty of water clears metabolic wastes from your body and even lubricates the nerve cells throughout your body! So drink more water and you'll boost your results. <br /><br />Microalgae superfoods: These superfoods offer a two-fold benefit: They cleanse the liver (which purifies the blood and improves mental clarity) and they offer natural high-density nutrition from nature. The four I recommend are spiruline, chlorella, blue-green algae and astaxanthin (www.Nutrex-Hawaii.com). One of the top brands of raw microalgae is E3 Live, which you can find at http://www.e3live.com/index.htm <br /><br />Healthy oils: Consuming regular quantities of healthy oils and omega-3 fatty acids makes a huge difference on the power and reach of your intention. Eat more chia seeds (www.GoodCauseWellness.com), avocados, raw coconut oil (www.RawFoods.com) and minimally processed plant-based oils. Fish oils can also be supportive if you choose to eat fish-derived products. Flax seeds serve a similar purpose for those who are vegetarian. <br /><br />Berries: Eat massive quantities of fresh, raw berries to boost nervous system function and greatly enhance the power of your intention. Berries offer nervous system protection medicines, and they also happen to halt cancer, prevent eye disease, enhance memory and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Be sure to eat a variety of berries so you get all sorts of different colors: Black raspberries, blueberries, red raspberries, strawberries, acai, red currants, wild berries, etc. <br /><br />There are, of course, many other nutrients and natural substances that can enhance mental function and clarity. Everything from tropical fruits to garden greens provides a strong benefit in boosting the power of your intention. <br /><br />My personal secret to success <br />People tend to look at my own accomplishments as being "remarkable" or highly successful in various ways. They see me as getting many things done in a very short period of time, and they often wonder how I accomplish these things. My greatest secret is that I frequently practice the power of intention (and I have a specific process through which that is practiced), and I avoid all the foods, beverages and personal care products that interfere with the power of intention. <br /><br />In the past, some people have wondered why I drink no alcohol, use no drugs, drink no coffee, take no medications, etc. People have asked me if I'm a member of some specific religion with pristine dietary practices, but the answer is quite simply that I have arrived at my own spiritual practice and I choose to respect my body and mind as tools for creating a better future. I actually came to this conclusion mostly on my own, and have since found that it is aligned with the spiritual paths found in virtually all world religions. It all makes sense, too: You simply can't be a highly spiritual person if you're consuming angry cow meats and altered dairy fats! <br /><br />I intentionally avoid all substances that intefere with intelligence, clarity or spirituality, and I go to great lengths to cleanse my body using nature's medicines: superfoods, rainforest herbs, raw foods, and so on. By the way, the best cleansing products I've ever found at available at www.BaselineNutritionals.com (look for the Liver Tincture and the cilantro-based anti-mercury tincture). <br /><br />The secret to my productivity and ability to manifest those things is simply that I'm wholly committed to treating my body and mind as sacred entities. I do not allow myself to be polluted with television, pharmaceuticals, recreational drugs, energy vampire people (like friends who drain away all your energy) or processed foods. The result is that when I focus on something, it manifests relatively quickly (there's still a whole lot of work involved, of course, but that's the nature of getting things done in this physical world). Perhaps there is some other version of the multiverse in which intention is instantly translated into effects, but here in this one we all share, intention often requires practical steps for manifestation. (So don't forget the part about applying effort, too!) <br /><br />Want a better life? Clean up your energy channels <br />This is not information I've shared before, but it's probably the most important secret to success that I've ever written about. If you want to make things happen in your life and manifest more wealth, abundance, loving relationships, happiness or whatever, you've got to get serious about cleaning up your "broadcast channels," which means cleaning up your diet, eliminating any substance abuse, avoiding influence from television and so on. It doesn't mean you have to become a hermit and live in the woods somewhere (although that certainly wouldn't hurt on a temporary basis), but you do have to stop living the disconnected life of typical consumers who are addicted to processed foods, alcohol, television, drugs, video gaming and other things. <br /><br />I don't claim to be perfect in my own habits. I still eat meat when traveling (but never from mammals such as cows or pigs), and my diet isn't as raw as I would like. I also spend way too much time sitting in front of a computer, but that's a necessary choice I've made for engaging in online education and article writing. But like you, I'm always striving to make my diet and lifestyle one step better, and by doing that I'm constantly moving into higher states of vibration that naturally augment the power of my intention. <br /><br />You can do the same. All it takes is making the commitment and taking on one change at a time until you're completely rid of the toxic influencing factors and fully embracing those things that work to multiply the power of your intention. Before long, you'll find the Law of Attraction working far better than you ever imagined, and you'll really start living the magical life you're attracting through conscious intention. <br /><br />It's really not complicated, nor even mystical or "new agey." It's just the application of common sense: If you want to create a better future and manifest your desires, you've got to clear you head, get rid of the junk and start nourishing your internal broadcast antenna (your nervous system). Once you do that, you can start to broadcast your intention to the universe, and you'll find that everything you focus on begins to manifest far more quickly. <br /><br />Speaking of intention, please feel free to share this article with anyone you know who's familiar with "The Secret" and who might benefit from knowing these nutritional tips. You can copy and paste the article in an email, or just send the web address (URL). Spread the word: We need more people with high vibrations in order to overcome all those folks running around with LOW vibration, don't you think? The more high-vibration people we have in the world, the brighter the future will be for us all. </blockquote><br /><br />-WRITTEN BY THE HEALTH RANGER Mike Adams-natural news www.NaturalNews.com<br /><br />I'm still using: <a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/antioxidants/natures-way-selenium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">SELENIUM</a>helps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/magnesium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">MAGNESIUM</a>helps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/diabetes/chromium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">CHROMIUM</a>improves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/zinc.aspx' TARGET="NEW">ZINC</a> especially to help you heal.<br />I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/cholesterol/extravirgincoconutoil.aspx' target="new">coconut oil<br /></a><br /><img src="http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/thumbnails/ExtraVirginCoconutOil.jpg"><br />Also for the best in filtered water....<a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heigth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />And <br /><strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img width=50 height=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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. <br />And I'm also taking:<br />And I am substantially benefiting from each and every method I recommend.

One evening, as I prepared dinner a bit too quickly, the kitchen filled with smoke and the smoke detector went off. Although both of my children had received fire-safety training at school, they did not respond to the alarm. <br />Annoyed, I stormed through the house in search of them. I found them in the bathroom, washing their hands. Over the loud buzzing of the smoke alarm, I asked them to identify the sound.<br />"It's the smoke detector," they replied in unison.<br />"Do you know what that sound means?" I demanded.<br />"Sure," my oldest replied. "Dinner's ready." <br /><br />The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.<br /> -- Thomas Jefferson<br /><br />Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?<br /> -- Lily Tomlin<br /><br />The most erroneous stories are those we think we know best - and therefore never scrutinize or question.<br /> -- Stephen Jay Gould<br /><br />I have read your book and much like it.<br /> -- Moses Hadas<br /><br /> <br />Contingent Fee <br />Q: What is a contingent fee? <br />A: A contingent fee means, if the lawyer doesn't win your suit, he gets nothing.

The police stop him and say that he can't drive around with the penguins in the car and should take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off. <br />The next day the same man is driving down the road with twenty penguins in the back and again. He is stopped by the same police officer who says, "Hey! I though I told you to take those to the zoo." <br />The man replies "I did. Today I'm taking them to the movies." <br /> <br />Eight Iron <br />Off the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball. <br />After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in hands of a skeleton! <br />Joe immediately called out to his friend, "Jack, I've got trouble down here!" <br />"What's the matter?" Jack asked from the edge of the ravine. <br />"Bring me my wedge," Joe shouted. "You can't get out of here with an eight iron!" <br /> <br /> <br />Behaviorist Solution <br />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. <br />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!" <br />"That's great news!" the psychoanalyst says. "you seem to be doing much better. How?" <br />"I went to see another doctor," Joe says enthusiastically, "and he cured me in just ONE session!" <br />"One?!" the psychoanalyst asks incredulously. <br />"Yeah," continues Joe, "my new doctor is a behaviorist." <br />"A behaviorist?" the psychoanalyst asks. "How did he cure you in one session?" <br />"Oh, easy," says Joe. "He told me to cut the legs off of my bed." <br /> <br />MALE VS.

Release Parking Brake. <br /><br />All babies start out with the same number of raw cells which, over nine months, develop into a complete female baby. The problem occurs when cells are instructed by the little chromosomes to make a male baby instead. Because there are only so many cells to go around, the cells necessary to develop a male's reproductive organs have to come from cells already assigned elsewhere in the female. Recent tests have shown that these cells are removed from the communications center of the brain, migrate lower in the body and develop into male sexual organs. If you visualize a normal brain to be similar to a full deck of cards, this means that males are born a few cards short, so to speak. And some of their cards are in their shorts. This difference between the male and female brain manifests itself in various ways. Little girls will tend to play things like house or learn to read. Little boys, however, will tend to do things like placing a bucket over their heads and running into walls. Little girls will think about doing things before taking any action. Little boys will just punch or kick something and will look surprised if someone asks them why they just punched their little brother who was half asleep and looking the other way. <br /><br />This basic cognitive difference continues to grow until puberty, when the hormones kick into action and the trouble really begins. After puberty not only the size of the male and female brains differ, but the center of thought also differs. Women think with their heads. Male thoughts often originate lower in their bodies where their ex-brain cells reside. Of course, the size of this problem varies from man to man. In some men only a small number of brain cells migrate and they are left with nearly full mental capacity but they tend to be rather dull, sexually speaking. Such men are known in medical terms as "Republicans." Other men suffer larger brain cell relocation. These men are medically referred to as "Democrats." A small number of men suffer massive brain cell migration to their groins. These men are usually referred to as.....

Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis var miller, Aloe vera var. chinensis, Aloe vulgaris, Aloe vera var. lanzae, Aloe indica, Aloe barbadensis var. chinensis, Aloe vera var. wratislaviensis, Aloe elongata, Aloe vera var. littoralis, Aloe perfoliata var. vera, Aloe perfoliata var. barbadensis, Aloe flava, Aloe chinensis, Aloe barbadensis, Aloe lanzae. <br />Common Names: Aloe vera, True Aloe <br />Suggested Properties: <br />Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and energy tonic <br /><strong>Indicated for: </strong><br />Digestive tract irritations such as colitis, ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, cleansing stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder and colon, arthritis, asthma, bladder and kidney infections, cancer, constipation, diverticular disorders, haemorrhoids, heartburn, heart disease, HIV, immune stimulation, indigestion, insomnia, kidney disease, leg cramps, leukemia, skin health, stomach distress, tumours, vaginitis, vaginal douche, viruses, white blood cell production and general health tonic.[/blockquote] <br /><br />(2)<br /><blockquote>Aloe is a genus of plants belonging to the Asphodelaceae family, and is related to onions and asparagus. The Aloe genus appears naturally in Africa, although many members of the genus are popular houseplants and can be found around the world. The most famous member of the genus is Aloe Vera, known for its medicinal uses and applications.<br />Though there are several common medical uses for Aloe Vera, the most frequent use of the plant is in the form of a topical gel. Gels made from Aloe are used to treat burns and minor scrapes. Aloe Vera benefits range from soothing inflammation, pain relief, and a reduction in the likelihood of infection. Studies have also shown that regular use of an Aloe Vera based gel will actually speed the healing process in minor wounds, and even severe burns. It has been used in this capacity for hundreds of years. The thick leaves can be snapped open, and the moist open ends of the leave can be rubbed onto a burn or scrape directly.<br />In industrialized areas, the moisture form the Aloe leaves are extracted and made into the popular gel most people are familiar with. In more recent years, it has become more popular than ever and has found its way into skin lotions, cosmetic products, shampoos, lip balms, soaps and sunscreens. Some Aloe Vera benefits include a strong moisturizing capacity, and its extract contains a number of vitamins and minerals that are believed to promote healthy skin. It is a very gentle substance in itself, so one of the benefits of Aloe Vera is that it can be used in sensitive areas, such as around the eyes.<br />Aloe plants, have also found medicinal uses internally. Used in this way primarily as a laxative, the juice from aloe can be dried into a dark powder composed of yellowish granules that are quite bitter to taste. Internal use of Aloe is marketed as a treatment for coughs, ulcers, muscle pain, headaches, and even cancer and HIV. The only proven Aloe Vera benefit in internal use is the relief of constipation. Additionally, even in this use, internal use of the plant has a number of side effects, can cause nausea, and should not be taken by women who may be pregnant.</blockquote><br /><br />I'm still using: <a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/antioxidants/natures-way-selenium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">SELENIUM</a>helps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/magnesium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">MAGNESIUM</a>helps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/diabetes/chromium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">CHROMIUM</a>improves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/zinc.aspx' TARGET="NEW">ZINC</a> especially to help you heal.<br />I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/cholesterol/extravirgincoconutoil.aspx' target="new">coconut oil<br /></a><br /><img src="http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/thumbnails/ExtraVirginCoconutOil.jpg"><br />Also for the best in filtered water....<a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heigth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />And <br /><strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img width=50 height=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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. <br />And I'm also taking:<br />And I am substantially benefiting from each and every method I recommend.

Yep, I weighed about the same as usual. I have reached a stable weight at which, it seems no matter what I do, my weight pretty much remains the same. The problem? My weight is about 20-25 pounds heavier than I would like.<br />Which got me to thinking: Why do we admire skinny people and aspire to be one of them? I just don't think that they are doing their fair share.<br />Back when I was in school, we learned about the Law of Conservation of Mass. That dictates is that matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be rearranged. That's a law folks. It's isn't just some silly theory. I've fought that law, and the law won.<br />What that means is when someone loses weight or merely fails to gain much, that weight has to go somewhere. How often have you been walking along and came across some big wad of body fat? It just doesn't happen. And that fat has to go somewhere. Some of it has found me. I'm carrying about all that I can.<br />Yet fat people are often ridiculed for somehow being undisciplined and lazy. They seem to be one of the few groups left that are safe to mock.<br />But, when I see a 350-pound guy waddling down the aisle, I want to shake his hand and say, "Thank you buddy! Keep up the good work." When I see a woman in too-low-cut jeans spilling over the top (I think some folks call they a "muffin top" (And a word to the wise: Never try to tuck the over-spill back in without asking first.)), although I don't find it all that appealing, I know that she is doing her fair share.<br />No, it's the skinny people who are the lazy ones. Oh, they have so much energy. They always seem to be on-the-go. They seem happier.<br />Well, of course they do! All the rest of us are carrying the load. Let them pick up some of it and see how they feel.<br />When I see some guy jogging down the road, I usually pull up (I'd honk my horn if it worked), roll down the window and yell, "Slacker!" But that is usually counterproductive because, after doing some sort of a finger extension exercise, they usually run a bit faster. I can feel those ounces burning and finding their way to my belly.<br />It's time that skinny folks step up to the plate, literally, and start pulling their share of the weight!<br />Then, just maybe, some of the load will be taken off of me. <br />***<br /><strong>The Fern and the Bamboo..... </strong><br />One day I decided to quit.... <br />I quit my job, my relationship, my Spirituality... <br />I wanted to quit my life. <br />I went to the woods to have one last talk with God. <br />"God", I said. <br />"Can You give me one good reason not to quit?" <br />His answer surprised me... <br />"Look around", He said. <br />"Do you see the fern and the bamboo?" <br />"Yes", I replied. <br />"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. <br />The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the <br />Floor. Nothing came from the bamboo seed. <br />But I did not quit on the bamboo. <br />In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. <br />And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo". <br />He said. "In the third year, there was still nothing from <br />The bamboo seed. But I would not quit. <br />In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from <br />The bamboo seed. But I would not quit. <br />He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. <br />Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. <br />It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong <br />And gave it what it needed to survive. <br />I would not give any of My creations a challenge it could not handle." <br />He said to me. "Did you know, My child, that all this time <br />You have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others." <br />He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, yet, they <br />Both make the forest beautiful." <br />"Your time will come", God said to me. " You will rise high!" <br />"How high should I rise?" I asked. <br />"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return. <br />"As high as it can?" I questioned. <br />"Yes." He said, "Give Me glory by rising as high as you can." <br />I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can <br />Help you see that God will never give up on you... Never regret a day in your life. <br />Good days give you Happiness. <br />Bad days give you Experiences. <br />Both are essential to life. <br />Keep going... <br />Happiness keeps you Sweet, <br />Trials keep you Strong, <br />Sorrows keep you Human, <br />Failures keep you Humble, <br />Success keeps You Glowing, <br />But Only God keeps You Going! <br />***<br /><strong>Should children witness childbirth?</strong> <br />Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to<br />the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked<br />Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over<br />her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the<br />baby.<br /> Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi<br />pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was<br />born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and<br />spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The<br />paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the<br />wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had<br />just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't<br />have crawled in there in the first place......smack him<br />again!'<br />***<br />May God bless you with the wisdom and knowledge to restore your health<br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1) http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-aloe-vera.html<br />(2) http://ezinearticles.com/?Proven-Aloe-Vera-Benefits-And-Uses&id=268102<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Gram for gram, Salba provides eight times more Omega 3s than salmon, four times more fiber than flax, six times more calcium than whole milk, 13 times more antioxidants than blueberries, and much more. Salba is all-natural, has no trans-fats, very few carbohydrates, and is certified Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, and Gluten-Free for those who suffer from celiac disease.<br /><br />It's good to get your innards moving all regular and to get you some real get-up-and-go And it has all those lovely Omega-3's that keep us all so healthy. It's better than other foods that have great essential fatty acids. Oh and the white is good, black is bad, but that's NOT the whole story....<br /><br />Salba® is a trademark, and it's even better known as Chia.

Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. <br />In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. <br />The brunette balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home." <br />The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. <br />After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch.

"How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pick-up truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable?'" <br />The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde.

I've watched my garden and it's the sickly small stunted under-nourished plants that are eaten by bugs and destroyed utterly going back to the earth. Why are there so many buggies in the soil? To reduce the foliage that's dead or dying back to it's component molecules and returned to the soil to nourish the other plants living there. Think about it; the very same bugs that kill one plant are living in the same soil that the living and flourishing plants thrive in. How is it that the same conditions for one plant will cause it to die and another to live. A partial answer is that some plants get better fertilizer, mulch or other essential-to plants conditions.<br /><br />Plants were designed to live best with animal fertilizers[ that offer a complete line of nutrients] and plant mulches. If a garden in one part of the city gets manure, healthy green mulch and another gets a partial chemical fertilizer made in a factory, and added to already depleted soil, one that's had nothing but partial fertilizers, machine-turned topsoils that have been exposed to wind and water erosion, then buckets of chemical herbicides and pesticides are poured on it, the resultant crop will vary greatly.<br /><br />If one watches a carcass of an animal through time-lapse photography one can see how the work of various bugs will take a whole animal and take it back to the dust from which it was formed, But it goes farther than that. <br /><br />We are programmed by our Maker to stay well, if hurt, to get well. But when there are so many factors out there that cause our body's filters [liver and kidneys] to be overloaded we just can no longer keep up our get-well generators and we start to decay. Yes, I used the right word, decay.<br /><br />When we are eating so many of the WRONG foods our bodies become less capable of fending off the germs [buggies] and other disease causers [including the pollution we all live with] that live everywhere in our environment. Also any weaknesses we might have because, well, let's face it, our gene pool is much shallower that the robust one mankind started with, will allow certain bits of our anatomies to weaken further and like one of those games where you take beams out of a tower there is a time when collapse happens. Then those bugs invade that eat us up like a sick plant and we die. <br /><br />Does this concern you? Does it change where you see yourself on the food chain? <br /><br />Then take control of your health. Eat lots of fresh, locally grown organic raw vegetables and meat grown in a healthy environment. Drink healthy pure water. Avoid places and foods that are not a natural product of our original food supply, or are cooked on high heat. Since there are so many Genetically modified foods, processed foods, artificially created foods or additives, colors or enhancements; and nowadays there are so many things to look out for that eating only what you prepare/grow yourself might be best. Since this is not always possible, for most of us, attempting to be educated about our food supply really helps in knowing which foods to eat.<br /><br />In some cases just understanding that food animals that are given junk, poorly thought out foods will not result in a sick animal but one that will cause disease in the one who eats it, helps us to see why it's important to be vigilant. And even so, some cases of sickly cows are getting into our food supply. We are not being informed anymore when a bad food source has entered our food supply, as we've seen lately. Sickly cows slaughtered for food, and tainted vegetables were sold and eaten long before our wonderful watchdog, the FDA bothered to tell us of it.<br /><br />So many diseases that 50-80 years ago were rare or even unheard of are epidemic in our society now. For instance Diabetes has, since the advent of High Fructose Corn Syrup [as a sweetener in many of our processed foods] actually become a world epidemic that has taken over even third-world countries. This is just one food additive. There are many others and there are many other rampant diseases. When we are weakened by obesity we are prone to all those little buggies that were designed to take us back to the dust we were before we were who we are now. Scary? Yes it is.<br /><br />One way I'm helping myself to return to health is by taking certain minerals that are no longer available on our farms due to depletion:heartily recommend:<br /> <a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/antioxidants/natures-way-selenium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">SELENIUM</a>helps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/magnesium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">MAGNESIUM</a>helps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/diabetes/chromium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">CHROMIUM</a>improves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/zinc.aspx' TARGET="NEW">ZINC</a> especially to help you heal.<br />I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/cholesterol/extravirgincoconutoil.aspx' target="new">coconut oil<br /></a><br /><img src="http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/thumbnails/ExtraVirginCoconutOil.jpg"><br />Also for the best in filtered water....<a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heigth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />And <br /><strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img width=50 height=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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. <br />And I'm also taking:<br />And I am substantially benefiting from each and every method I recommend.

St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven. <br />The second nurse says, "I worked in an operating room. It's a very high stress environment and we do our best. Sometimes the patients are too sick and we lose them, but overall we try very hard." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven. <br />The third nurse says, "I was a case manager for an HMO." <br />St. Peter looks at her file. He pulls out a calculator and starts punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse's file. After a few minutes St. Peter looks up, smiles, and says, "Congratulations!

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond to look it over, as he hadn’t been there for a while. Since he was going that way, he grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee, and when he got closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave!”The old man frowned, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond with no clothes on.” Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m just here to feed the crocodile.<br />---<br /><br />A man is a person who, if a woman says, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," lets her. <br /><br />A woman is a person who, if she says to a man, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her, gets mad. <br /><br />A man is a person who, if a woman says to him, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her and she gets mad, says, "Now what are you mad about?" <br /><br />A woman is a person who, if she says to a man, "Never mind, I'll do it myself," and he lets her and she gets mad, and he says, "Now what are mad about?" says, "If you don't know I'm not going to tell you!"<br />---<br />May you be blessed with sunshine, fresh water and healthy food and may you be healthy all the days of your life.<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

But now it's usually 121 and the evening ones are usually 81-91, now. I know the oil soluble B-1 is to be credited. I still take some insulin but I'm cutting it down all the time.

During a recent trip he took from California to Indiana, it didn't help that his connecting flight from Denver was delayed twice because of mechanical problems. <br />Then, after he was aloft, he noticed the cabin lights were flickering. Losing his peace of mind, he decided to mention this to a flight attendant. <br />"I'll take care of it," she said. Moments later the lights went out. Clearly she had solved the problem by turning off all the lights. <br />A passenger across the aisle who had been watching my friend leaned over and said, "Whatever you do, please don't ask about the engines." <br /> <br /> <br />What Really Matters <br />At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?" The little boy nodded in the affirmative. <br />"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?" <br />The little boy nodded yes. <br />"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or you're out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?" <br />Again the little boy nodded. <br />"Good," said the coach. <br />"Now go over there and explain it to your mother." <br /> <br /> <br />Driving Instruction <br />A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW Beetle had died because I left the lights on overnight. I was in a hurry to get to work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me a hand to start the car. I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler, and use it to push my car fast enough to start it. <br />I pointed out to her that because the VW had an automatic transmission, it needed to be pushed at least 20 mph for it to start. <br />She said fine, hopped into her car and drove off. I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing. <br />A minute passed by and when I saw her in the rear-view mirror coming at me at about 30 mph, I realized that I should have been a bit clearer with my directions. <br /> <br /> <br />Mental Hospital <br />After hearing that one of the patients in a mental hospital had saved another from a suicide attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub, the hospital director reviewed the rescuer's file and called him into his office. <br />"Mr. Haroldson, your records and your heroic behavior indicate that you're ready to go home. I'm only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself with a rope around the neck." <br />"Oh, he didn't kill himself," Mr. Haroldson replied. "I hung him up to dry." <br />---<br /> <br /> <br />Tech Support <br />Customer: "One of my friends gave me an ImageWriter printer and this keyboard. He said he gave me all the cables, but I can't figure out how to connect them. Am I missing something?" <br />Tech Support: "Well, a computer would help." <br />Customer: "You mean this keyboard isn't a word processor?" <br />Tech Support: "No ma'am, its just an input device." <br />Customer: "Then I need to buy a computer, right?" <br />Tech Support: "Yes." <br />Customer: "Do you think I'll need a monitor, too?" <br /> <br /> <br />Computer Instructor <br />Well, I had one event happen to me, where one lady had just bought a Apple IIc and complained that she was having problems with her monitor, so we told her to bring her monitor in, and we'd check it out. <br />So she brings her monitor in, and we plug it in, and it works without a flaw. We tell her that the monitor isn't the problem, and to bring her CPU in. <br />She stares at us blankly, and asks, "What's the CPU?" <br />Joe explains that it's the piece of equipment that all your devices plug into. So about twenty minutes later, she returns and walks in carrying the surge suppressor. <br />When we explained to her the item that we needed her to bring in, she replied, "Oh you mean the keyboard!" (On Apple IIc's, the CPU box and keyboard are part of the same unit.) <br />And to make this all the more interesting, she was a gradeschool computer class instructor. <br /> <br /> <br />Don't Look at the Light! <br />Customer: "My mouse doesn't work any more." <br />Tech Support: "Is it an optical or ball mouse?" <br />Customer: "Huh?" <br />Tech Support: "Does it have a ball or light?" <br />Customer: "It has an light on top." <br />Tech Support: "On top?" <br />Customer: "Yeah. It was underneath before, but it looks better when it's on top." <br />Tech Support: "Ok, try turning it around so the light points down on the desk." <br />Customer: "Oh! It works!" <br /> <br /> <br />Horrible Addiction <br />I think it's a chilling reminder of my mortality, that I am never more than a few hours from that grisly implosion of a death known as starvation. No matter how much I eat, before long the cravings resurface, and the withdrawal symptoms ravage my innards. <br />"I am Snook Draddots," I would say, were my name actually Snook Draddots, "and I am a food addict." <br />It's a sad story, but it's true. I was a food baby, in fact. My mother was using when she was pregnant with me. I've been on food ever since. It's wrecked my life. <br />For my first fifteen years, I experienced rapid weight gain, and the digestive symptoms that persist to this day are too unpleasant to discuss. I've been unable to quit. The patch -- where you duct tape some potato salad to your arm every morning --doesn't help at all. <br />One time I had a 16 hour flight across the Pacific, during which time I ate nothing that could be remotely described as food, but I fell off the wagon shortly after landing. <br />But enough is enough. I've come to an epiphany about just how much I've let food run my life for me, and it's time for that to stop. No more food for me. <br />I'm quitting food cold turkey. <br />--- <br />Nothing is said that has not been said before.<br /> -- Terence<br /><br />A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.<br /> -- Baltasar Gracian<br /><br />There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness.

'A normal person would use the<br /> bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'<br /> 'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug.

If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice." <br />1. Pray<br />2. Go to bed on time.<br />3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed. <br />4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. <br />5. Delegate tasks to capable others. <br />6. Simplify and unclutter your life. <br />7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.) <br />8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places. <br />9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together. <br />10.

If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it. <br />12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. <br />13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc. <br />14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut).

Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus." <br />27. Laugh.<br />28. Laugh some more!<br />29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all. <br />30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). <br />31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most). <br />32. Sit on your ego.<br />33 Talk less; listen more.<br />34. Slow down.<br />35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. <br />---<br />-BLESSING-<br />May all of your illnesses be reversed before they are out-of-control, may your food be enjoyable and healthy., AND STRESS-FREE!<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Try this on your skin, it's so much safer than swaddling yourself in something called killer. If I get bit I itch like a crazy woman, scratching so that I rip shreds of skin off. I've found that Rescue Remedy cream [I by it at the health food store] does a good job of taking the itch away.<br /><br /><blockquote>SUMMER BOUNTY RECIPE<br />go pick from the garden<br />5-8 basil leaves<br />7-12 fingerling zuchinnis<br />5-8 Hungarian banana Peppers<br />8-10 squash blossoms<br />1 small chicken breast<br />Himalyan Crystal salt<br />pepper<br />celery seeds<br />sprinkle of Garam Masala<br />3 ozs of homemade bread crumbs*<br />-2 farm fresh eggs beaten and seasoned with Himalyan crystal salt, pepper, celery seed <br /><br />First I dip the cleaned squash blossoms [I found that bees get stuck inside and I like my bees alive, so I let them go outside] in the egg mixture, then shake them in the homemade breadcrumbs, then put in a heated frying pan with 4 tbs of coconut oil melted in it, stir the squash blossoms gently, remove cooked blossoms, add sliced zuchinnis and banana peppers, I usually cut both in medallions but since they were so fresh and small I decided to just cut off the ends and slice them lengthwise. Saute' them gently for a few minutes, remove and put in, the hot frying pan, seasoned chicken breast. When the chicken is done sprinkle it with garam Masala- feast! It actually takes longer to read this recipe than it is to cook it.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote>*KATY'S BREADING<br />This makes enough to bread several chickens<br /><br />3 pieces of JEWISH RYE toast allowed to dry thoroughly<br />2 tbs.Katy's essence [or to taste, it's sort of hot]*<br />2 tsp.sea salt [I like the Himalayan crystal][also to taste]<br />1 Tbs. celery seeds<br />1 Tbs. chia seeds<br />1Tbs.

It can be used over and over, just fill with chicken, slide the lock, and shake.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote>*Katy's essence<br />This is about medium hot and the heat can be adjusted by using more of less of the spice<br />I've sent this out to friends all over the US because when I make it every year I make a lot!<br />When I say a part I use a bottle of spice, it can be any size as long as all 'parts' are the same size.<br />3 parts of paprika [I love paprika anyway]<br />2 parts sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt<br />2 parts garlic powder<br />1 part black pepper<br />1 part onion powder<br />1/2 part Cayenne powder<br />1 part Italian herbs [I grow and grind my own, I mix it- 1part Oregano, 1 part Basil, 2 parts Parsley]<br />1 part crushed red pepper<br />2 part chili powder<br />put it all in your food processor to grind up the Italian herbs and crushed red pepper so it's Incorporated well into the other spices which are powders.</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote>PULP CRACKERS<br />I juice fresh veggies every day and there is lots of pulp left so I use it to make crackers that are good for me because being dried they are still raw vegetables, and no flour to mess up my blood sugar. I use them to scoop hummus, with soup and for salsa.<br />Mix bowlful of veggie pulp [I usually have celery, carrots, 1 jalapeno pepper, zucchini, basil, kale, and a little garlic in my batches, and anything else I feel like might be yummy from my garden. I add extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, flax seeds, sea salt and ground chia to my mixture, toss and make into hand palm sized balls, press together in a flattened roundish cracker place them in my dehydrator gently salt, turn it on until they are crisp, not flaky.

One morning we were drifting about ten miles offshore as Scott discussed business on the phone. Suddenly his rod bent double, and the reel screamed as line poured off the spool. <br />Scott was master of the situation. "Pardon me," he told his customer calmly. "I have a call on another line." <br />~~~<br />When I picked up my wife from work one afternoon, she seemed irritated. She confessed that the day hadn't gone well, and on top of everything else, a young customer had addressed her as "ma'am."<br />"I'm not that old," she insisted. "I deserve more respect!" She vented the whole way home while hitting the scan button on the radio. Finally I asked, "What are you looking for?"<br />She replied, "The oldies station." <br />~~~<br />I was sitting behind an enthusiastic mom at my son's Little League game. Her boy was pitching for the opposing team and she cheered as he threw one wild pitch after another. The poor kid walked every batter. It was only the first inning and the score was 14-0. Then one batter finally smacked the ball. "Oh no," the mom wailed.

To check on the young man's response to trouble, the psychiatrist asked, "What would you do if you looked out of that window right now and saw a battleship coming down the street?" <br />The young sailor said, "I'd grab a torpedo and sink it." <br />"Where would you get the torpedo?" <br />"The same place you got your battleship!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Windoze Quotes </strong><br />• "How much do Windows cost, and do you have to buy each one separately?" <br />• Customer: "How much do Windows cost?" <br />Tech Support: "Windows costs about $100."<br />Customer: "Oh, that's kind of expensive.

And according to a recent study, diabetics are in short supply. The problem is, loading up on thiamin-rich foods, such as navy beans, spinach, and peas, doesn't do diabetics a darn bit of good. <br />In this study, researchers discovered that the concentration of thiamin in blood plasma was decreased 76 percent for type 1 diabetics and 75 percent in type 2 patients. But the problem wasn't caused by a lack of thiamin-rich foods in the diet. Instead, the researchers found that diabetics excrete thiamin from through the urine at a rate 15 times greater than normal.<br />So if eating more thiamin-rich foods won't help, how about oral thiamin supplements? Well, they're no good, either. Since thiamin is a water-soluble vitamin, whatever your body doesn't take up will get excreted in the urine.<br />The good news is that there is a fat a fat-soluble form of thiamin, called benfotiamine, which does not have this problem. Nutrition-savvy doctors and patients with diabetes frequently use this form to get vitamin B1 levels back to where they belong. <br />Benfotiamine is used to treat diabetic neuropathy, which is painful nerve damage. Most studies on benfotiamine for diabetics use 150 mg twice per day, although you can use as little as 80 mg a few times per week and still enjoy some benefit. By the same token, doses of up to 1,200 mg per day have been used to treat more severe case of diabetic neuropathy.<br />Many nutritional doctors work with specialty supplement companies that offer high-quality benfotiamine, and many special combination supplements that are designed specifically for diabetics will include benfotiamine. </blockquote><br /><br />So says Dr. Alan Inglis in his newsletter from his website called <a href="http://www.healthrevelations.com/" target="new">House Calls</a><br /><br />Worth a try isn't it, afterall it is a vitamin, I could probaby use more nutrition considering our poor [at best/dangerous at worst] food supply.<br /><br />What is said elsewhere on this normally water soluble, but in this case fat-soluble one.<br /><br />According to About.com:<br /><br />(2)<blockquote>Benfotiamine is a man-made form of thiamine or B1. Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin and therefore not as easily used by the body. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble composition and is better absorbed and utilized. There has been some evidence that benfotiamine may help relieve the severity of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy</blockquote><br /><br />According to MEDINFO-MEDICAL INFORMATION AND HEALTH DIRECTORY<br />(3)<blockquote>The term “miracle” has been in use for hundreds of years when it comes to products that are claimed to aid health. Does this mean that it’s always false? Not necessarily. Occasionally a seemingly “new” product will enter the spotlight and draw the attention of the public. Often, after a series of tests and trials, these products fade into oblivion because they didn’t actually perform in the ways purported. There are exceptions to this rule; as with the supplement benfotiamine.<br />Benfotiamine is a natural solution to many problems in the human body. This product is one of nature’s best sources of thiamine; or B-1. The FDA has approved this additive as a dietary supplement. Vitamin B-1 is a necessary substance in the body because it maximizes the results of your carbohydrate intake. It also helps with stress, improves your mental health and strengthens your general nervous system.<br />Benfotiamine is commonly found in trace amounts within such substances as roasted garlic, onions, leeks and shallots. Many years ago, a Japanese pharmaceutical company attempted to bring attention to this substance. Unfortunately, their efforts gained little traction. Recently, a physician produced a published article detailing the benefits of benfotiamine and since then the product has rapidly gained popularity.<br />This product has been tested for individuals with conditions pertaining to diabetes, but the full scope of clinical testing does not end there. Benfotiamine has been tested for decades for its effects and capabilities in helping all types of conditions.<br />For those with diabetes, this substance has been reported to alleviate sciatica as well as improve general cellular and circulation health. Neuropathy is a painful condition encountered by individuals with diabetes. There are several other related conditions that have all responded well to this supplement.<br />This supplement has helped many with diabetes, but also helps those without it. This supplement has also been reported to have benefits for: nerve health, improved blood pressure, fibromyalgia and has been used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. It has been suggested that benfotiamine contains many anti-aging properties that help the body.<br />Vitamin B-1 is reported to combat motion sickness. It helps in the treatment of the painful condition known as “shingles,” helps lessen post-operative dental pain and even repels biting insects. B-1 is found naturally in many products including whole wheat foods, dairy products, peanuts, oatmeal and rice husks.<br />Benfotiamine has no known interactions with prescription medications and, in turn, helps replenish the body with thiamine. There are some prescription drugs that will cause a B-1 deficiency if no supplements are taken.</blockquote><br /><br />I ordered mine from www.swansonvitamins.com a great company who doesn't pay me a dime if you buy from them.<br /><br />remember as a diabetic or just any human being you need plenty of fresh water try this great self-purifying water bottle:<br /><a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heighth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br /><br />In the meantime, I'm working on my health and I'm taking <a href="http://www.thyromine.com/?aid=248837" target="_blank">Thyromine</a>, it has Adrenal Powder from Bovine, ginger, Guglipid, Nori, Piper Longu, Thyroid Powder From Bovine, and L-Tyrosine.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."

'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21 YESSSS!!! <br />But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? <br />You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.<br />But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! <br />So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.<br />You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! <br />You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'<br />Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' <br />May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! <br /><strong>HOW TO STAY YOUNG </strong><br />1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.' <br />2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.<br />3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. <br />4. Enjoy the simple things. <br />5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. <br />6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. <br />7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. <br />8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. <br />9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is. <br />10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. <br />AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :<br />Life is not mea sured by the number of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.<br />~~~<br />be blessed with a long, happy, appreciative and healthy life<br />~~~<br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1)http://www.healthrevelations.com/<br />(2)http://diabetes.about.com/od/whatsonthehorizon/p/benfotiamine.htm<br />(3)http://www.medinfo2004.org/benfotiamine-a-natural-solution-or-miracle-substance-to-control-blood-sugar-52/<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

And I'm not discounting floods, and diseases that spread and cause chaos. How much can we depend on a rapid deployment of help from any government, or that the 'help' they bring will be sufficient? As we've seen post Katrina, help was neither rapid nor sufficient. I'm not discounting the wonderful giving people who loaded up trailers of supplies and headed down to affected areas to give assistance. What I am talking about here is preparedness, there are things we can do to be ready to survive in a worst-possible-scenario case.<br /><br />According to the Survival Needs forum: The first item listed:<br /><blockquote>Water is fundamental to all life on Earth. While it may be easy for many of us to take the availability of water for granted, growing demands on the world's water resources highlight the importance of water to everyday life. Access to clean water is a growing political issue around the world.http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/St-Ts/Survival-Needs.html</blockquote><br /><br />Of course you can buy water containers and store enough for your family to have at least a gallon of drinkable water per day you might be stranded or until help arrives, OR you could get these:<br /><a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heighth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />It lasts for approximately 1 year. If a person drinks 3 bottles of water per day the cost of the bottle is equals less than 3 cents per fill up. With the purego you can use just about any available water to create potable safe water for your family's needs. These come equipped with an inside-replaceable filter and a straw built in where it cannot be lost.<br />The next item for consideration would be medications and supplements, it is recommended you keep at least an extra fresh month's supply on hand. It's important to rotate your stock so it does stay fresh.<br /><br />Don't forget lots of flash lights and fresh batteries for them.<br /><br />You will be surprised to find that food is way down the list of survival gear to be considered. That's because we can go with out food for several days with very little damage to our bodies, in fact the only damage is for those who already eat very small amounts of food already- anorexics, fragile elderly or sickly babies. However if we are planning long-range food is a thing to be considered, Canned foods, Freeze-dried, or dehydrated foods are our best bets. If you can find MRE's[meals-ready-to-eat] at an Army-Navy surplus store it's a great idea to buy some, do check for dates on them. I hear they are still selling Civil War leftovers, heh heh.<br /><br />One good idea is to get a dehydrator, <img width=60 height=60 src="http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00GBetCUHbIQrDM/Food-Dehydrator-OL-026-.jpg"> make meat jerkies and dried vegetables and fruits and store them securely in zip up style bags.<br /><br />Ok, now heat, and cooking are another consideration....<br />I have: <img width=60 height=60 src="http://terrence.marsh.faculty.noctrl.edu/lantern/coleman411baker.jpg"> a coleman stove. A great idea is to have a small generator:<img width=60 height=60 src="http://www.motoworldracing.com/media/honda-generator.jpg">, but did you know you can install a fairly cheap plug in generator right on your car's engine? <img width=60 height=60 src="http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/Power_invertor.jpg"> It's a Black & Decker 200W Power Inverter For $18. Storing gasoline is a horse of a different color, it also loses it's freshness and is dangerous to store, except in small quantities. For a generator it is very viable as a solution.<br /><br />Also one needs a good first aid kit, the age of your family and the kinds of things you do would dictate the contents but bandages, not band aids, neosporin, iodine, small scissors [I'll get into tools in a bit]<br /><br />Don't forget your pets, For us probably chicken jerky would work best, but many people can stockpile canned and bagged kibble pet foods. Those too need to be rotated for freshness, food that's moldy is lethal.<br /><br />Now, where is it best to keep these items? Some have suggested that large new garbage cans of plastic would be great places to keep most of the items. Now the best place to keep all of these things if you have the space is a small concrete bunker at least partly submerged in the dirt. If you are in a small apartment, try to find room in an interior closet. Remember what I've listed are the ultimate in survival protection, just about anything you do will be better than nothing, Just start with water....<br /><br />Have lots of water on hand, probably not in the basement, or at least a way to filter whatever water you have in order to stay alive long enough to get help. <br />Bad water can cause cholera, Dysentery, and a host of other nasty diseases....Just because we haven't had outbreaks of those things here in the US doesn't mean they won't happen.<br /><br />Tools that are very handy to have ready to use: A good digging shovel, if your house is gone you may need to dig facilities of the outdoor variety. <br />A machete, lots of uses, from breaking up debris to clearing brush to building a shelter.<br />Hammers and nails, Never mind why just get them.<br /><br />I'm sure for each individual families' needs there are many more items to go on the 'list', but this is my list.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'm working on my health and I'm taking <a href="http://www.thyromine.com/?aid=248837" target="_blank">Thyromine</a>, it has Adrenal Powder from Bovine, ginger, Guglipid, Nori, Piper Longu, Thyroid Powder From Bovine, and L-Tyrosine.

Although nothing happened, he decided not to mention it to his wife. <br />Later that night, the man and his wife were driving to a movie when he spotted a high-heeled shoe hidden under the passenger seat. Pointing to something out the passenger window to distract his wife, he picked up the shoe and tossed it out of his window. <br />They arrived at the theater a short time later and were about to get out of the car when his wife asked, "Honey, have you seen my other shoe?" <br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Good Trade <br />A man is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm. <br />His friend stops him and asks, "Hey Bob!

There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00. “Why so little?” she asked the pet store owner. The owner looked at her and said, “Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff.” <br />The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird’s cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. <br />The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, “New house, new madam.” <br />The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought, “That’s really not so bad.” <br />When her two daughters returned from school the bird saw and said, “New house, new madam, new girls.” <br />The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised. <br />Moments later, the woman’s husband ‘Keith’ came home from work. <br />The bird looked at him and said, <br />“Hi, Keith!” <br />~~~<br />A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be<br />confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. <br />'Good morning,' said the young man.. <br />'If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to<br />demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.' <br /> 'Go away!' said the old lady. 'I'm broke and haven't got any money!' and<br />she proceeded to close the door. <br /> Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed<br />it wide open. <br /> 'Don't be too hasty!' he said. 'Not until you have at least seen my<br />demonstration.' <br />And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway<br />carpet. 'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse<br />manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.' <br />The old lady stepped back and said, 'Well let me get you a fork, 'cause<br />they cut off my electricity this morning.'<br />~~~<br />May you have no reason to fear anything or any man, but if you do may you be prepared to survive the encounter.<br /><br />more info please check these out:<br />http://www.equipped.org/72hourkit.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/dont_forget_the.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/earthqk.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/earthqk.htm#erthqkcarkt<br />http://www.equipped.org/groundzero.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/onyrown.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/drperskit.htm<br />http://www.equipped.org/prsnlkit.htm<br />v<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Patients with arthritis often claim they can predict the weather, based upon their pain level, and a number of studies have been conducted to test this hypothesis. While these studies show that the effects of weather can vary from person to person, many show that arthritis pain is increased by a variety of weather factors, which may swell inflamed arthritic joints, stretching the inflamed joint lining and capsule, thereby increasing the pain of arthritis.<br />Among the types of weather that may increase joint sensitivity and arthritic pain are:<br />1. Changes in atmospheric pressure, especially falling pressure<br />2. Changes in temperature, especially lowering temperature<br />3. High or increasing relative or absolute humidity<br />4. Relatively low atmospheric pressure<br />5. Low temperatures<br />6. Precipitation<br />Arthritic pain can be especially severe when these conditions are combined, such as during chilly, damp weather when pressure is low and falling.<br />Now, AccuWeather has developed an index that combines all of the weather factors that may affect arthritis sufferers, and summarizes the most likely severity of weather-related arthritis pain in one easy-to-understand scale, from Low to Extreme. Available exclusively on AccuWeather.com, the AccuWeather Arthritis Index forecasts this level for each of the next several days, so arthritis sufferers can have advanced notice of when they are most likely to have increased pain, allowing them to take appropriate medication and to better plan activities.</blockquote><br /><br />(2)<blockquote>And a lot of research has gone into trying to figure out exact scientific mechanisms that bring about this kind of weather-related pain. Currently, however, none of the studies have produced any cohesive explanation, though one factor these studies have in common is linking pain to changing air (barometric) pressure.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />(3)<blockquote>Weather-sensitive pain is caused by the Sympathetic Nervous System. This portion of the nervous system monitors for injury of soft tissues in the body. It also regulates those functions that occur automatically, such as heart rate, swelling of the fingers on a hot, humid day, sweating, and constriction of blood vessels.<br />Sometimes this condition becomes more severe and the pain can be excruciating. If it is bad enough, then a medical diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy might be given. In others where the problem is moderate in nature, Fibromyalgia may be diagnosed. If there is arthritis present, then the pain is often attributed to that. In all cases, however, the sympathetic system is the source of the pain.<br />Home remedies include stretching, taking an Epsom salts bath, or trying to keep warm. In fact, there are so many options available today to help with sympathetic pain that no one should have to accept the old adage “learn to live with it” without giving at least some of them a try. </blockquote><br /><br />I used to laugh when my grandmother would complain about a draft, now I understand.<br /><br />I'm taking <a href="http://www.thyromine.com/?aid=248837" target="_blank">Thyromine</a>, it has Adrenal Powder from Bovine, ginger, Guglipid, Nori, Piper Longu, Thyroid Powder From Bovine, and L-Tyrosine.

Since we’re all professionals, why don’t we hear each other out right-now?” <br />They agree that this is a good idea. The first psychiatrist confesses, “I’m a compulsive shopper and deeply in debt, so I over bill patients as often as I can.” <br />The second admits, “I have a drug problem that’s out of control, and I frequently pressure my patients into buying illegal drugs for me.” <br />The third psychiatrist says, “I know it’s wrong, but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t keep a secret.” <br />~~~<br /><strong>Beautiful Girl </strong><br />Wife: Yesterday I saw a very beautiful girl. <br />Husband: Then what happened? <br />Wife: I just kept on admiring her, on and on.. <br />Husband (gets irritated): WHAT happened then? <br />Wife smiled and said: I moved away from the mirror!<br />~~~<br />THE BLARNEY STONE<br /><br />A group of Americans was touring Ireland. One of the women in the group was constantly complaining. The bus seats are uncomfortable. The food is terrible. It's too hot. It's too cold. The accommodations are awful. <br />The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone. "Good luck will be followin' ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone," the guide said. "Unfortunately, it's being cleaned today and so no one will be able to kiss it. Perhaps we can come back tomorrow." <br />"We can't be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouted. "We have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can't kiss the stupid stone." <br />"Well now," the guide replied, "it is said that if you kiss someone who has kissed the stone, you'll have the same good fortune." <br />"And I suppose you've kissed the stone," the woman scoffed<br />"No, ma'am," the frustrated guide said, "but I've sat on it." <br />~~~<br />may you be blessed with low arthritic pain indexed days. <br /><br />sources<br />(1)http://www.accuweather.com/index.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0<br />(2)http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/safety/2005-02-21-health-pressure_x.htm<br />(3)http://wehelpwhathurts.homestead.com/weathersensitivepain.html<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.<br /> <br />The Greek word used here is "pharmakeia" and it means... to dispense medication or poison, sorcery, witchcraft...<br /><br />Already we can see our modern word for drugs- phamacopia, [see also pharmacy- the place where drugs are distributed to people to mask symptoms rather than cure or heal.....]has its beginnings in a place none of us wants to think about.<br /><br />(1)<blockquote><strong>It should be noted that prescription drugs do not heal, and in most cases simply mask the problem prolonging agony, never approaching the root cause of the disease. The sad fact is, most doctors today do not attempt to heal their patients, instead they prescribe drugs for pain management, keeping patients on a never <br />ending drug merry-go-round. Toxic drug ingredients build up within the body and eventually cause damage to vital organs which leads to death. <br />Basically, taking drugs = shorter lifespan.</strong> </blockquote><br /><br />(2)<blockquote>A little background on "Pharmakeia" which is also a feminine noun that can be used collectively, it references the herbalist of the time who were almost always female. It was one of the few businesses available to single women, herbalism was complex so there was an aura of secrecy to it. They also were fond of saying incantations or using symbolic items etc to increase the "mystery" around their practice. It gave them both power and prestige, it would have also increased their incomes and perhaps the more mystical it appeared the greater price people were willing to pay for their "potions". These women challenged the authority structure of both Paul's church and the society of the time in general. The ability to heal, poison, abort fetuses, etc. gave them an incredible amount of power and would have created a diversion from God and Christianity. So, you have that aspect of that term used here. <br />Later, there are frequent references in church writings (not scripture) referring to abortionist using the term "pharmakeia". Outside of the church Plutarch uses the term pharmakeia in reference to contraception and abortion. <br />Clement of Alexandria identifies pharmakeia as an abortifacent. <br />An early church council in the capital of Galatia referenced adulterous woman who who avail themselves to pharmakeia for abortion. <br /><br />Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words <br />an adjective signifying "devoted to magical arts," is used as a noun, "a sorcerer," especially one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, Rev. 21:8, in the best texts (some have pharmakeus), and Rev. 22:15. <br /><br />Plato writes of Pharmakeia the Naias Nymphe of a poisonous spring near Athens, Orithyia is swept away by Boreas while she was playing with Pharmacia. Later Socrates compares the written texts Phaedrus has brought along to pharmakon, he describes it as both a cure and poison.</blockquote> <br /><br />(3)<blockquote>In 1976, doctors in Los Angeles went on strike because of the rising cost of malpractice insurance. All elective and non-emergency surgery and medical <br />attention were canceled. During that time, 18 percent fewer people died than usual.</blockquote> <br /><br /><br />(4)<blockquote>While stopping short of concluding the antidepressants definitely cause suicide,the FDA warned that they might do so in a small percentage of children and adults. Inthe debate over drug-induced suicide, little attention has been given to the FDA’sadditional warning that certain behaviors are “known to be associated with these drugs,”including “anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity,akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania.”From agitation and hostility to impulsivity and mania, the FDA’s litany ofantidepressant-induced behaviors is identical to that of PCP, methamphetamine andcocaine—drugs known to cause aggression and violence. These older stimulants andmost of the newer antidepressants cause similar effects as a result of their impact on aneurotransmitter in the brain called serotonin.</blockquote><br /><br />A few case histories of violent behavior of children taking anti-depressants<br />(5)<blockquote>As a psychiatrist and as a medical expert, I have examined dozens of cases of individuals who have committed suicide or violent crimes while under the influence of the newer antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox and Celexa. In June in South Carolina, Christopher Pittman will go on trial for shooting his grandparents to death while they slept. Chris was twelve when his family doctor started him on Zoloft. Three weeks later the doctor doubled his dose and one week later Chris committed the violent acts. In other cases, a fourteen-year-old girl on Prozac fired a pistol pointblank at a friend but the gun failed to go off, and a teenage boy on Zoloft beat to death an elderly woman who complained to him about his loud music.</blockquote><br /><br />Oh I just had to add this:<br />(6)<blockquote>Just One Example of How Prescription Drugs Destroy Lives and a Safe Alternative <br />Take this pill and you may become addicted to gambling, sex, or even paint your home a dozen times. What pill does that, you ask?<br />Mirapex!<br />That is the accusation made by hundreds of lawsuits, which have been brought against Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals (BIP), the drug company that manufactures Mirapex.<br />Originally conceived for treatment of Parkinson’s disease back in the 90’s, BIP scientists recently discovered another market for Mirapex: People who have something termed Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).<br />With this expanded market for RLS now in view and coupled with aggressive TV ads, BIP has increased annual Mirapex sales to $235 million in 2004 (up 63% from one year earlier).<br />Consequences: We reap what we sow.<br />People taking Mirapex are finding themselves feeling powerful urges to gamble, shop, have sex and eat compulsively. Many have stated that they find these urges uncontrollable, resulting often in broken marriages, bankruptcy, and host of psychological problems including depression and suicide. Many encounter legal problems in addition to everything else as a result of these compulsions.<br />There are even cases where the complainants have painted their homes ten to fifteen times in the course of two months, and other idiosyncratic behaviors. In virtually every alleged case, the person involved had no prior history of obsessive or compulsive behaviors.<br />Documented Mirapex clinical study side effects include, enlarged abdomen, suicide, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia, convulsions, cataract, glaucoma, and prostate disorders.<br /><strong>Under the American Medical Association’s (AMA) guidelines, Mirapex falls under what the AMA calls “acceptable risk.”</strong></blockquote> <br />But then with all these other problems your restless legs are a minor problem!<br /><br />As a Christian I'm to trust that God will heal me. I can most certainly help this process by; as Hippocrates said "make my food my medicine". AND...<br /><br />(7)<blockquote>The Bible teaches Christians to be sound of mind. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8). The Greek word translated as "sober" is nepho, which literally means "drink no wine." From this it derived a broader meaning being self-controlled, free of confusion, clear headed, sound of mind, or keeping your head.<br />Because of this, Christians are to avoid intoxicants that cloud clear thinking. For example, alcohol is a depressant which can lower a person's inhibitions. Hosea links the use of alcohol with fornication. "Their drink is rebellion, they commit harlotry continually. Her rulers dearly love dishonor" (Hosea 4:18). Habakkuk warns, "Woe to you who make your neighbors drink, who mix in your venom even to make them drunk so as to look on their nakedness!" (Habakkuk 2:15). The reference to "mix in your venom" is the ancient practice of adding herbs (or drugs) to wine to make its intoxicating effects more potent. Christians have a hard enough time battling temptations with making Satan's job easier by taking drugs that alter one's judgment and self-control.<br />Drug abuse was also closely associated with witchcraft and sorcery. The Greek word pharmakeia literally means "to administer drugs." As with our English word "drugs," the context must be considered to determine the meaning. If I say, "He is using drugs to control his cancer" we understand that it is for medicinal purposes. However, if I say, "He is using drugs at parties" we understand that it is recreational usage, or drug abuse that is being considered. According to Vine, pharmakeia "primarily signified 'the use of medicine, drugs, spells'; then 'poisoning'; then, 'sorcery.' In other words, pharmakeia has a range of meanings depending on the context. Strong indicates the same thing: "medication, by extension magic, literally or figuratively, sorcery, witchcraft."</blockquote><br /><br />If you reject this idea, celebrate satan and/or believe witchcraft is enlightenment, just go ahead and disreguard this entry. You may have my share of all the psychotropic drugs and <strong>indeed all other drugs as well</strong>!<br /><br />I think I'd rather try getting healthy with natural methods first....some supplements for it include <br /><blockquote>*Iodine *Selenium *Zinc *Vitamin D *Vitamin E *Antioxidants <br />*Essential Fats *Amino Acids </blockquote><br /><br />I'm taking <a href="http://www.thyromine.com/?aid=248837" target="_blank">Thyromine</a>, it has Adrenal Powder from Bovine, ginger, Guglipid, Nori, Piper Longu, Thyroid Powder From Bovine, and L-Tyrosine.

There are only four secrets to staying young - discovering happiness in your everyday life; laughing and finding humor each day; giving of yourself to others - so that way goodness may magically comes back to us; and DREAMING - for when you lose your dreams, you die."<br />"We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability.<br />The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets." <br />~~~<br />“We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.” <br />~~~<br />"Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there."<br />~~~<br /><strong>Funny Fluke</strong><br />My dentistry patients are called and reminded the day before their scheduled appointments. During an office visit, one man was in an especially good humor and explained why. "My staff kids me about the high opinion I have of myself," he said. "Yesterday your receptionist left a message that had them in stitches." <br />He related the memo his secretary had handed him: "Your crown is ready." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Zip It!</strong><br />My mother taught for 11 years at a day-care center. One winter afternoon she was trying to show a young boy how to zip up his coat. "The secret," Mom said, "is to get this piece of the zipper to fit in the other side before you try to zip it up." <br />After struggling with the zipper for several minutes, the boy sighed and said, "Why does it have to be a secret?" <br />-- -<br /><strong>...With Some Wit on the Side </strong><br />Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. Or, should I say, his lack of it. One day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, "Someone just picked my pocket!" Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted out, "How could anyone stoop so low?" <br />~~~<br /><strong>All Aboard!</strong><br />In the 22-story office building where I worked, rush hours meant crowds of people waiting a long time for the three passenger elevators. One evening my boss was one of the throng relegated to the freight elevator. <br />When a fellow rider complained about having to take this mode of transportation, my boss replied philosophically, "Better freight than never!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Comic Calling</strong><br />My younger brother, I explained to a friend, had quite a temper as a boy. Our parents had tried extra love, attention and patience on him, with little success. Then, in the middle of one of his tantrums, they simply handed him a shovel, pointed to the backyard and instructed him to go out and dig and not come back until he had control of his anger. <br />"Apparently," I said, "the therapy worked, because he's turned out very nicely." <br />"What does he do for a living?" my friend asked. <br />"He builds in-ground swimming pools." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Sew in Stitches </strong><br />Shortly after graduating from veterinary school, I rode with my mother in the Michigan Trail Riders' annual trek across state. Late one afternoon, I was summoned to look at a horse that had reared up and flipped over in his trailer. Fortunately the horse was not seriously injured, but some lacerations needed stitching. <br />As I worked, I heard my mother chatting with the perturbed owner. "Don't worry, sir," she said. "My daughter's a great vet. She'll fix your horse up just fine." <br />"That's good to hear," said the man. "How long has she been a vet?" <br />"A week," replied my mother, proudly. Then hastily she added, "But she's been embroidering since she was eight years old." <br />-- -<br /><strong>Down Under Droll</strong><br />While I was working at a delicatessen in Sydney, Australia, a woman overheard my accent and asked if I was American. "Lovely!" she exclaimed when I told her that I was. "I've been looking for one of your lot. My son is living in the States with his American wife, and she sent me a recipe that calls for half-and-half. Could you tell me, luv, half of wot and half of wot?" <br />-- -<br /><br /> <br /><br />~~~<br />This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration Mohammed Omar warned the United States and Canada that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's and Canada's supply of convenience store managers. <br /><br />And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Bell and Sprint customer service reps<br />~~~<br />Every man needs a wife, because things sometimes go wrong that you can't blame on the government.<br />~~~<br />BILL GATES BUYS A HOUSE<br /><br />Bill: "There are a few issues we need to discuss." <br /><br />Contractor: "Ah, you have our basic support option. Calls are free for the first 90 days and $75 a call thereafter. Okay?" <br /><br />Bill: "Uh, yeah... the first issue is the living room. We think its a little smaller than we anticipated." <br /><br />Contractor: "Yeah. Some compromises were made to have it out by the release date." <br /><br />Bill: "We won't be able to fit all our furniture in there." <br /><br />Contractor: "Well, you have two options. You can purchase a new, larger living room; or you can use a Stacker." <br /><br />Bill: "Stacker?" <br /><br />Contractor: "Yeah, it allows you to fit twice as much furniture into the room. By stacking it, of course, you put the entertainment center on the couch... the chairs on the table... etc. You leave an empty spot, so when you want to use some furniture you can unstack what you need and then put it back when you're done." <br /><br />Bill: "Uh... I dunno... issue two. The second issue is the light fixtures. The bulbs we brought with us from our old home won't fit. The threads run the wrong way." <br /><br />Contractor: "Oh! That's easy. Those bulbs aren't plug and play. You'll have to upgrade to the new bulbs." <br /><br />Bill: "And the electrical outlets? The holes are round, not rectangular. How do I fix that?" <br /><br />Contractor: "Just uninstall and reinstall the electrical system." <br /><br />Bill: "You're kidding!?" <br /><br />Contractor: "Nope. Its the only way." <br /><br />Bill: "<sigh> Well... I have one last problem. Sometimes, when I have guests over, someone will flush the toilet and it won't stop. The water pressure drops so low that the showers don't work." <br />Contractor: "That's a resource leakage problem. One fixture is failing to terminate and is hogging the resources preventing access from other fixtures." <br />Bill: "And how do I fix that?" <br />Contractor: "Well, after each flush, you all need to exit the house, turn off the water at the street, turn it back on, reenter the house and then you can get back to work." <br />Bill: "That's the last straw. What kind of product are you selling me?" <br />Contractor: "Hey, nobody's making you buy it." <br />Bill: "And when will this be fixed?" <br />Contractor: "Oh, in your next house -- which will be ready to release sometime near the end of next year. It was due out this year, but we've had some delays..." <br />~~~<br /><br /><strong>Country Preacher</strong> <br />An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.<br />Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.<br />One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment.<br />He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:<br />a Bible,<br />a silver dollar,<br />a bottle of whisky<br />and a Playboy magazine<br />'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old preacher said to himself, 'when he comes home from school this afternoon,<br />I'll see which object he picks up.<br />If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunkard,and, Lord, what a shame that would be, and worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum.' <br />The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.<br />The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.<br />With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.<br />Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm.<br />He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. <br />He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's Centerfold.<br />'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered, 'He's gonna run for Congress.'' <br />~~~<br />May you be blessed with abundant energy, stamina and ambition, not just the ability to do things but the "want to" too.<br />~~~<br />SOURCES<br />http://thyroid.ultrawellness.com/broken.php<br />http://www.endocrineweb.com/hypo1.html<br />http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypothyroidism/DS00353<br />http://thyroid.about.com/od/alternativeholisticinfo/Alternative_Holistic_and_Complementary_Thyroid_Diagnosis_Treatment.htm<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

And when we go to hospital, we'll leave healthier than when we arrived, right? Well, not always, unfortunately, as accidents can happen and modern medicine isn't immune to Murphy's Law. So, what are the most terrifyingly medical blunders that could happen to you</blockquote><br /><br />So goes the Rusty Buckets site on medical boo boos.<br /><br />here is the list: It is not exclusive: There are many more Iatrogenic health hazards involving Medico-types.<br /><br /><blockquote><strong>Waking During Surgery</strong><br />Waking during surgery is rare, but "rare", according to The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), means 1 to 2 people out of every 1000 patients. You're much more likely to be sliced open without being able to move or communicate than you are to win the lottery. Hand up here.<br /><br /><strong>Objects Left In The Body After Surgery</strong><br />This phenomenon is pure gold for the tabloid press, and it seems there's no end to the number of patients reporting how surgeons left scissors, gauze, and other bits and pieces inside their bodies. <br /><br /><strong>Wrong Site Surgery</strong><br />The problem of surgeons operating on the wrong body location, amputating healthy limbs, or operating on the wrong body altogether, is apparently "getting worse," according to Denis O'Leary, head of the non-profit Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. Frighteningly, hospitals are not obliged to reveal such statistics to the public. What we hear about is "just the tip of the iceberg," according to O'Leary, who adds that; "some hospitals are reporting everything, and some hospitals don't report anything at all." <br /><br /><strong>Dirty Doctors</strong><br />"In 1846 when the first obstetrical hospital was opened in Vienna, one in eight pregnant women died from puerperal fever. Professor Ignacz Semmelweiss dramatically ended these deaths by demanding that doctors wash their hands after doing an autopsy and before delivering a baby."<br />suggestions to make your hospital stay infection-free. <br />* telling your doctor to wash his hands (good luck with that one);<br />* have urinary catheters removed as soon as possible after surgery (not a tip you'd forget easily);<br />* don't smoke prior to an operation, as it can promote lung infections; <br />* let staff know if you're writhing in insufferable pain.<br />* Better still, stay out of hospital. Hand up here too, my mother died of needless infection.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Prescription Medicine</strong><br />Is medicine becoming too complicated for the average patient? Or doctor for that matter, as it seems that the practice of prescribing incorrect medications with similar sounding or looking names is on the rise, with dire and sometimes fatal results. One case involved a patient who was prescribed sixty-times the recommended dose of Librium instead of Lithium to treat his depression. Needless to say, the man died as a result. Some of us have decided that all medication might be best avoided. <br /><br /><strong>Doctors Of Death</strong><br />Hell bent on causing mayhem and destruction, doctors of death like Nazi medico Joseph Mengele use their position of authority to violate their professional oath of preserving life. One recent case involved disgraced doctor Jayant Patel, who, after losing his license in the United States, was able to enter Australia where he quickly set up a practice. Patel treated over 1000 patients in Australia, with 80 of them dying due to his incompetence.<br /><br /><strong>Buried Alive</strong><br />Being buried alive is one of the most terrifying of all fears. The scenario of waking up inside a coffin six-feet-under has been used in films such as The Vanishing, Kill Bill and, of course, Buried Alive, but just how likely is it? <br />During the 17th century, plague victims often collapsed seemingly dead and historical records indicate that there were 219 close calls and 149 actual cases of people being buried alive. But hey, that was the 17th century; it couldn't possibly happen today, could it?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Private Contractors</strong><br />Accountants have been sent in to "improve" health services around the world, but unfortunately, things aren't going to plan. <br />Drug Trials<br />Clinical trials are a necessary aspect of modern medicine, and we owe the people who take part in them a great deal. But they're not called trials for nothing, and things do go wrong. <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Cosmetic Cock-Ups</strong><br /><br />Last year it was found that dozens of doctors had been using an unapproved form of botulism toxin to smooth out their patient's wrinkles, instead of the more expensive Botox. Investigators said that the substitute that was pumped into cheeks and brows across the nation could be as deadly as cyanide. </blockquote><br /><br />Then there are <br />*misdiagnoses, <br />*being given medication that one's body should never have to deal with, dangerous chemicals that make the cure way worse than the disease.<br />*cut-happy doctors-surgeons so enamoured of the scalpel skills that they cause needless post surgical pain for the patient<br />*giving the wrong blood type <br />*refusing to listen to the patient and giving whatever drug the drug companies are pushing that week.<br />*lab mess-ups<br />*wrong prescriptions ordered or way too much given<br /><br />Ok to be perfectly fair, Doctors tend to be extremely busy, their darned office workers insist of booking four patients in every fifteen minute section of the appointment book. Then Golf Clubs, those pesky institutions of perversity, have fewer and fewer tee times available at the last minute so doctors have to wait at the 'nineteenth hole' to be able to begin their daily 8 hour breaks, and the temptations of Alcohol and ever-present life-style-enhancing drugs are just too available.<br /><br />Also lab results sometimes come in with confusing names and numbers on them, it's no wonder they can confused. Wit all the doctors have to do it's no wonder they allow the pharmaceutical companies to teach them the latest techniques and disease solutions, and with the added benefit of being paid to prescribe these drugs the doctors consider this a win-win situation.<br /><br />I've had my share of these medical errors, including a GYN who never ever knew I have RH <strong>negative</strong> blood [and my husband had <strong>RH positive</strong>, of course], so that after I had my baby by Cesarean Section [delivered by a drunk doctor, I kid you not!} Apparently there was enough blood exchange so I had a series of miscarriages afterwards [and couldn't find a doctor to go to while bleeding], The final one being bad enough to where I ended up having a Tubal Ligation at age 24! No more children for me!<br /><br />After seeing two doctors during my pregnancy [we moved across the country at this time], I was told by one here take this medication, and this and this, [for my severe digestive problems] the second said "There's nothing wrong with you", so I ended up having to have a gall bladder removal [during which I woke up] surgery, the surgeon decided he had to extend a surgery that was supposed to last 45 minutes to 2 1/2 hours so he could cut into every single bit of healthy tissue in the area of my now gone gall bladder, ["Don't worry, you'll never miss it", has devolved into an infiltrated-overworked-Liver and numerous allergies]. Just at this time, the very same GYN who thought I needed lots of drugs-[none of which I ever took, btw] said I was too frail to have more children at that time, so he prescribed the Pill, he said "This is the <strong>safe</strong> one". Exactly one month after starting the Ortho-Novum Birth control pill I had a massive stroke. So, in the space of three months I had a Cesarean Section, a Cholesystectomy, and a massive CVA [stroke] I was twenty years old.<br /><br />Later, I tried get through to doctors who absolutely refused to listen to me. I was trying to get help for the damage the stroke did to my body, but the doctors looked at me [I was masking- a normal response to stroke is to hide the damage] and said "You look fine to me." But I couldn't think properly, my muscles spasmed so bad I ached from it and I had a Swiss-cheese memory. My big idea was to tell them I was nearly at my wit's end, and really needed help, so the doctor prescribed a psycho-tropic, a mind drug. I couldn't stay awake [yes, even in public; I'd nod off] while taking this mind numbing drug, but he kept insisting I take a bigger dose. This is when I finally quit going to doctors and decided if I wanted to live it was soley up to me.<br /><br />I know of a few people who insist my hatred of Doctors and the AMA is unfounded that they are indeed the demi-gods as they see themselves. But I remain unconvinced. <br /><br />I'm taking control of my own health and anyone else can too. Allopathic medicine says every condition of the human experience is pathogenic [an illness] and needs to be treated by pharmaceuticals. I disagree, to me all doctors are either pill pushers [yo know drug dealers] or butchers. Possibly the Emergency doctors have a place, but for the most part nearly all disease that is no genetic or the result of trauma, is caused by what we eat, breathe in or drink.<br /><br />Ok, you do not have to believe this, It is purely my opinion, and since I'm small potatoes in the Grand Scheme of things, I can darned well say it the way I see it.<br /><br />As for me, I'm still working to get well, I'm staying in the arena of alternative medicine because I believe in it, and because I've never had any help from Allopathic medicine, I've been overdosed at a Young age with antibiotics, every single prescribed drug I was given has caused terrible reactions... So it's no wonder I feel this way, if you've had wonderful doctors I'm glad for you, I hear it's not exactly common, but I'm glad for you.<br /><br />I am taking <strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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.

Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.<br />Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.<br />To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but also, Eddie got special dividends. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block.<br />Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.<br />Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong.. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was <br />Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example. <br />One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done.<br />He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al; "Scarface " Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great..So, he testified.<br />Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street. <br />But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.<br />The poem read:<br />"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop..At late or early hour..Now is the only time you own...Live, love, toil with a will...Place no faith in time, for the clock may soon be still."<br /> <br /> <strong>STORY NUMBER TWO</strong><br />World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.<br />One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.<br />He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship.<br />His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.<br />As he was returning to the mother ship he saw something that turned his blood cold: a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet.<br />The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.<br />Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.<br />Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible and rendering them unfit to fly.<br />Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction.<br />Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the<br />carrier. Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his <br />return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed<br />the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet.<br />He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft.<br />This took place on February 20, 1942 , and for that action Butch became<br />the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the<br />Congressional Medal of Honor.<br />A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home<br />town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today,<br />O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great<br />man.<br />So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some<br />thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal <br />of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2.<br />SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?<br />Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son.<br />~~~<br />A father of some teenage children had the family rule that they could not attend PG-13, R or X rated movies. His three teens wanted to see a particular popular movie that was playing at local theaters. It was rated PG-13. The teens interviewed friends and even some members of their family's church to find out what was offensive in the movie. The teens made a list of pros and cons about the movie to use to convince their dad that they should be allowed to see it.<br /> <br />The cons were:<br />*It contained ONLY 3 swear words!<br />*The ONLY violence was a building exploding (and you see that on TV all the time they said),<br />*You actually did not 'see' the couple in the movie having sex, it was just implied sex, off camera.<br /> <br />The pros were:<br />*It was a popular movie, (a blockbuster).<br />*Everyone was seeing it.<br />*If the teens saw the movie then they would not feel left out when their friends discussed it.<br />*The movie contained a good story and plot.<br />*It had some great adventure and suspense in it.<br />*There were some fantastic special effects in this movie.<br />*The movie's stars were some of the most talented actors in Hollywood .<br />*It probably would be nominated for several awards.<br />*Many members of their Christian church, including the pastor, had even seen the movie and said it wasn't really 'that bad'.<br /> <br /> Therefore, since there were more pros than cons the teens asked their father to reconsider his position on just this ONE movie and let them have permission to go see it. The father looked at the list and thought for a few minutes. He said he could tell his children had spent some time and thought on this request. He asked if he could have a day to think about it before making his decision. The teens were thrilled, thinking, 'Now we've got him! Our argument is too good! Dad can't turn us down!' So, they happily agreed to let him have a day to think about their request. <br /> The next evening the Father called his three teenagers, who were smiling smugly, into the living room. There on the coffee table he had a plate of brownies. The teens were puzzled. The father told his children he had thought about their request and had decided that if they would eat the brownies, then he would let them go to the movie. But, he explained, just like the movie, the brownies had pros and cons.<br /> <br />The pros were:<br />*They were made with the finest chocolate and other good ingredients.<br />*They had the added special effect of yummy walnuts in them.<br />*The brownies were moist and fresh with wonderful chocolate frosting on top.<br />*He had made these fantastic brownies using an award-winning recipe.<br />*And best of all, the brownies had been made lovingly by the hand of their own father.<br /> <br />The brownies only had one con:<br />*He had included a little bit of a special ingredient: The brownies contained just a small amount of dog poop. But he had mixed the dough well and they probably would not even be able to taste the dog poop and he had baked it at 350 degrees so hopefully any bacteria or germs from the dog poop had probably been destroyed. <br /> Therefore, if any of his children could stand to eat the brownies which included just a 'little bit of crap' and not be affected by it, then he knew they would also be able to see the movie with 'just a little bit of smut' and not be affected. Of course, none of the teens would eat the brownies and the smug smiles had left their faces.<br /> Now when his teenagers ask permission to do something he KNOWS THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING the father just asks, 'Would you like me to whip up a batch of my special brownies?' <br /><br />~~~<br />I think it would be a good idea.<br /> -- Mahatma Gandhi, when asked what he<br />thought of Western civilization<br /><br />Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own<br />life.

It had a single word on it -- "Think!"<br />The next day, when he went to the men's room, he looked at the sign and right below, immediately above the soap dispenser, someone had carefully lettered "thoap!"<br />~~~<br />KILLER BISCUITS WANTED <br /> FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER <br /> The actual AP headline. <br /> <br />Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was <br />visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot <br />in the back of the head, and had been holding her <br />brains in for over an hour. <br />The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find <br />out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it <br />was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered. <br />~~~<br /><strong>TRAIN TICKET </strong> <br />Three women and three men are traveling by train to the football game. <br />At the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the three <br />women buy just one ticket. <br />"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks one <br />of the men. <br />"Watch and learn," answers one of the women. <br />They all board the train. The three men take their r espective seats but <br />all three women cram into a toilet together and close the door. <br />Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around <br />collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket,<br />please." <br />The door opens just a crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.<br />The conductor takes it and moves on. <br />The men see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea; so, after the <br />game, they decide to do the same thing on the return trip and save some <br />money. <br />When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip<br />but see, to their astonishment, that the three women don't buy any ticket at<br />all!! <br />"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed man. <br />"Watch and learn," answer the women. <br />When they board the train, the three men cram themselves into a toilet, and <br />the three women cram into a toilet just down the way. <br />Shortly after the train is on its way, one of the women leaves her toilet<br />and walks over to the toilet in which the men ar e hiding. She knocks on their <br />door and says, "Ticket please." <br />I'm still trying to figure out why men think they are smarter than women. <br />~~~<br /><strong>The Three Little Pigs </strong><br />Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter came and took their drink order. <br />'I would like a Sprite,' said the first little piggy. <br />'I would like a Coke,' said the second little piggy. <br />'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy. <br />The drinks were brought out and the waiter took their orders for dinner. <br />'I want a nice big steak,' said the first piggy. <br />'I would like the salad plate,' said the second piggy. <br />'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy. <br />The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert. <br />'I want a banana split,' said the first piggy. <br />'I want a cheesecake,' said the second piggy. <br />'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' exclaimed the third little piggy. <br />'Pardon me for asking,' said the waiter to the third little piggy,' <br />But why have you only ordered beer all evening?' <br />The third piggy says - 'Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home! <br />~~~<br />More Good Advice - Military Style <br />- "Aim towards the Enemy." - Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher <br />- "Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate.

After a while, the doctor came out and said, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith, are you here?" <br />"Yes doctor, im right here," he said anxiously. <br />"Great news," explained the doctor, "Twins!" <br />"Wow, thats great, because I work for the DoubleMint company." <br />About five minuter later, the doctor came out and yelled, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, are you hear?" <br />"I'm right here Doc," he said. <br />"Mr. Jones, great news, triplets!" <br />"Spectacular!" he said. "Because I work for 3M." <br />A while later, the doctor came out again and said, "Mr. Ford, Mr. Ford, are you here?" <br />"Right here docta," he said. <br />"Wonderful news! It's-" <br />"Wait a minute!" the man said. "I ain't stickin' around for this! I work at the <br />7-11." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Rabbit Save </strong><br />One day a man was driving down the road in a hot red convertable. He was driving 15 mph when a rabbit hopped in front of his car. As the man swerved the rabbit swerved also and was run over. The man got out of the car and started crying, upset that he'd killed the rabbit. <br />Just then a woman drives up and asks him what's wrong, when he tells her she says, "Oh I can fix that." She goes to her car, pulls out a can and sprays the rabbit with it. <br />It instantly comes alive and hops off, but every five feet it turns back to wave, before finally dissappearing into the forrest. <br />The guy is amazed and says, "How did you do that?" The woman just tosses him the can and drives off. The can says "Hair Spray: Guarenteed to bring your hair back to life and create a permanent wave." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Bumper Snickers </strong><br />- Born Free.

Laziness pays off now. <br />~~~<br /><strong>here are some of those things you learn from the movies: </strong><br />If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.<br />*All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.<br />*All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.<br />*The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.<br />*The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No-one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.<br />*You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. <br />*If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.<br />*Male characters generally are cold-natured. They need to wear jeans and leather jackets while the female characters are comfortable in cutoffs and a halter top. <br />*The hero is the exception to the above. He often is more comfortable in extreme cold after losing his coat or having the shirt ripped from his back. <br />*Whenever anyone knocks out anyone else and takes his/her clothes, it's always a flawless fit. <br />~~~<br /><strong>And some interesting facts about aliens in films ...</strong><br />*If there are two or more of an alien race, they are always roughly the same size as humans. <br />*Aliens usually speak English and have the same colloquialisms as we do. <br />*All members of an alien species wear the same outfits, including clothing, hairstyles and jewellery. This makes them readily identifiable. Aliens who do not dress like aliens are hiding something. <br />*This may, in fact, be a consequence of the fact that aliens all have single, monolithic cultures: one language, one religion, one outfit per planet. <br />~~~<br />Good Advice - Military Style <br />- "What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, .... the pilot dies." <br />- "Never trade luck for skill." <br />- The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh ****!" <br />- "Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!" <br />- "Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the purpose of storing dead batteries." <br />- "Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about it." <br />- "Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on a sunny day." <br />- Advice given to RAF pilots during WWII: "When a prang (crash) seems inevitable, endeavor to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slow and gently as possible." <br />- "The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely kill you." <br /><br />- "Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you." <br />- "There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime." - Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, <br />- "If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to." <br />- Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there." <br />- As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks "What happened?". The pilot's reply: "I don't know, I just got here myself!" - <br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Three Guys in Heaven <br />Three guys die and end up at the gates of heaven, talking to St. Peter. <br />“So,” Peter asks the first guy, “how many times did you cheat on your wife?” <br />“None. I had a perfect marriage.” <br />“Great,” says Peter. “You get to cruise around heaven in a Mercedes. And you, how many times did you cheat on your wife?” <br />“Only twice, I think,” says the second guy. <br />“Okay. You get to cruise around heaven in a Cadillac. And you, how many times did you cheat on your wife?” <br />“12 times. Maybe 13,” says the third guy. <br />“Okay,” says Peter. “You get a rusty Ford.” <br />Later that day, the guy in the Cadillac sees the guy in the Mercedes crying. <br />“What’s wrong?” <br />“I just saw my wife and she was riding a skateboard!” <br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Comprehending the IT guy <br />To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from people's "206's".... <br />- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity. <br />- I would not breed from this Officer. <br />- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be. <br />- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there. <br />- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction. <br />- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle. <br />- Technically sound, but socially impossible. <br />- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere. <br />- This young lady has delusions of adequacy. <br />- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably. <br />- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig. <br />- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. <br />- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age. <br />- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better. <br />- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet. <br />- The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship. <br />- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap <br />- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. <br />- Only occasionally wets himself under pressure. <br />~~~<br />May you blessed with such excellent health you never need to see a doctor, and if you do get a boo-boo may your doctor be wise and careful.<br /><br />SOURCES:<br />(1) http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/medical_mishaps.shtml<br />http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1739259/posts<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Some have said that it is caused by eating genetically modified corn, some say the cause is completely unknown, Still others insist it is an hysterical condition, the fibers being inserted in the skin while scratching from a psychological aberration that the sufferer has. <br />Another item to this mix is that that no less an institution of reliability- the CDC, you remember the center of disease control, yeah those folks,are beginning to investigate veracity of the claims of at least 150 people in San Francisco who claim to have this disease. One woman in this group claims to have something like tiny green shrimp coming out of her face. Is it any wonder that people who are dignified and wear extra letters after their August names see the people who claim to have this disease as macadamias, or at the very best- filberts.<br /><br />I will present what I have found and you can decide for yourself.<br /><br />I want to add one other factor before we go into details, I just want to give you a list here: Candidiasis, Fibromyalgia, CFS, MCS, Agent Orange disease, and Desert Storm disease. What do these have in common, they also were not recognized as diseases for a very long time by the A.M.A. This by no means is an exclusive list, it is merely the tip of the iceberg.<br /><br />First I want to present the evidence a given in Wikipedia. They quote the CDC as saying, "that it is not known at present whether the condition represents a new disease entity, or whether persons who identify themselves as having Morgellons have a common cause for their symptoms, share common risk factors, or are contagious." The CDC is still on-the-fence as their investigation is not complete, Wiki also presents, "According to an article written by the Mayo Clinic staff, health professionals are divided in their attitudes about Morgellons: some believe it is a specific condition and expect it to be confirmed by research in the future; some believe it is not a separate condition, rather its symptoms result from other conditions, often psychological; and some do not acknowledge Morgellons disease at all or reserve judgment until more is known about the condition."<br /><br />Gee, it still sounds like what the medicos were saying for years about Fibromyalgia, and since the Army doesn't want to pay out the suits concerning Desert Storm disease, they are still saying; that these conditions do not exist except in the minds of the sufferers. However, she hastens to add, this is not empirical evidence that it and Morgellons.<br /><br />Also presented for your perusal and consideration is this site, which features photos of the 'fibers' that seem to inhabit the epidermis of the affected victims. I can in no way verify the origin of these photos, whose skin they were take from or exactly what we are seeing, WARNING: these are very graphic photos.<br /><br />On the CBS news [wow all the most prestigious sources have a three letter designation, just as the researchers and members of the A.M.A. have the 'piled higher and deeper' after their names] it was said, " <br />There may be a dramatic new breakthrough for hundreds of Texans who suffer from a mysterious disease. CBS 11 News was the only station at a medical conference that uncovered new research in the fight to prove Morgellons Disease is real.<br />…<br />In 2007, Dr. Stricker and experts in agrobacterium studied skin samples from seven Morgellons patients and found the DNA from the bacteria in all seven samples. Now the question is, how are people getting the bacteria in their bodies.<br /><br />Firstly, this is not new, it’s over a year old. These findings were reported in January, 2007 - over a year ago.<br /><br />Secondly, and more importantly, there is a very easy explanation as to how the bacteria got in their bodies: catheters.<br /><br />There may be a dramatic new breakthrough for hundreds of Texans who suffer from a mysterious disease.

The dog's Owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, Were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. <br />I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family. We couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. <br />The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.<br />Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life ---like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."<br />~~~<br /><strong>Did They Really Mean That? </strong><br />The following are actual newspaper headlines: <br />- March Planned For Next August <br />- L.A. Voters Approve Urban Renewal by Landslide <br />- Patient at Death's Door - Doctors Pull Him Through <br />- Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped <br />- Prostitutes Appeal to Pope <br />- Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant <br />- Killer Sentenced to Die for Second Time in 10 Years <br />- Never Withhold Herpes Infection from Loved One <br />- Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers <br />- President Wins on Budget, But More Lies Ahead <br />- Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over <br />~~~<br /><strong>God and the Scientist </strong><br />God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him, <br />"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning." <br />"Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God. <br />"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man." <br />"Well, that's very interesting...show Me." <br />So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man. <br />"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Make your own dirt." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Accident </strong><br />There was an engineer, manager and programmer driving down a steep mountain road. <br />The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. <br />Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff. <br />They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed. <br />The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution." <br />The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it." <br />The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again." <br />~~~<br /><strong>What Kind of Tracks </strong><br />Two boys go out on a walk. One looks down and said, "look at those, those are deer tracks my dad told me about them." <br />The second boy says no those are elk tracks, my dad told me about them. Then the first boy says, "No those are deer tracks." <br />The second boy says, "NO those are elk tracks." <br />One hour later they were run over by a train. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Painting a Porch </strong><br />Wanting to earn some money, Cletus decided to hire himself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. He went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" <br />Cletus said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told him that the paint and ladders that he might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does he realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" <br />The man replied, "He should. He was standing on the porch." <br />A short time later, Cletus came to the door to collect his money. "You're finished already?" the man asked. <br />"Yes," Cletus answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." <br />Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," Cletus added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Dog Watch </strong><br />Guest: "Why does your dog sit there and watch me eat?" <br />Hotel Host: "I can't imagine, unless it's because you have the plate he usually eats from." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Biting Nails</strong> <br />Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over tea. <br />"I do wish that my Elmer would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous." <br />"My Billy used to do the same thing," the older woman replied. "But I broke him of the habit." <br />"How?" <br />"I hid his teeth." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Best Patients </strong><br />Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. <br />The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." <br />The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." <br />The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." <br />The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers...those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would." <br />But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Driving Test </strong><br />Two truck driving brothers are taking a driving test, and the instructor asks, "You're driving the truck and you're at the top of a mountain and your brakes go out. You notice an accident at the bottom of the mountain, what do you do?" <br />The trucker replies, "The first thing I do is wake up my brother." <br />"What good is that going to do?" the instructor asks. <br />The trucker replies replies, "In all of the years we've been driving he ain't never seen an accident like the one we're about to get in to." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Life </strong><br />Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!" <br />~~~<br />May you be blessed with abundant good health but failing that may you have only diseases approved by the A.M.A. so you can actually get some help<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

You can use a double breading by using an egg wash, but I'm trying to hold the gluten down in my diet, also the dripping egg soaked chicken leaves a mess in my breading.<br />Bake for 1 hour, turn the pieces and bake one hour more.<br />now eat, knowing that it is a healthy alternative to the trans fat laden MSG laced, chicken you can buy nearly anywhere these days, including gas stations [how appropriate!].<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~KATY'S BREADING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />This makes enough to bread several chickens<br /><br />3 pieces of JEWISH RYE toast allowed to dry thoroughly<br />2 tbs.Katy's essence [or to taste, it's sort of hot]<br />2 tsp.sea salt [I like the Himalayan crystal][also to taste]<br />1 Tbs. celery seeds<br />1 Tbs. chia seeds<br />1Tbs. Italian herbs [I grow and grind my own, I mix it- 1part Oregano, 1 part Basil, 2 parts Parsley]<br />1 Tbs. garlic powder<br />1 tsp. black pepper<br />anything else you like...I store this rolled up and air expelled, in a slide lock plastic bag in the freezer to keep it fresh. It can be used over and over, just fill with chicken, slide the lock, and shake.<br /><br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~Katy's essence~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />This is about medium hot and the heat can be adjusted by using more of less of the spice<br />I've sent this out to friends all over the US because when I make it every year I make a lot!<br />When I say a part I use a bottle of spice, it can be any size as long as all 'parts' are the same size.<br />3 parts of paprika [I love paprika anyway]<br />2 parts sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt<br />2 parts garlic powder<br />1 part black pepper<br />1 part onion powder<br />1/2 part Cayenne powder<br />1 part Italian herbs [I grow and grind my own, I mix it- 1part Oregano, 1 part Basil, 2 parts Parsley]<br />1 part crushed red pepper<br />2 part chili powder<br />put it all in your food processor to grind up the Italian herbs and crushed red pepper so it's Incorporated well into the other spices which are powders.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PARMESAN CHICKEN~~~~~~~~~~~<br />I slice part of a chicken breast into thin fillets, I cut as much as will be needed for the number of guests, Since it's usually just for me I cut two thin slices.<br />3 eggs slightly beaten, <br />1 green pepper sliced thin<br />Whip in about 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, grated.<br />shake in some pepper, sea salt and celery seed to taste<br />beat this all into eggs. <br />On 'warm' setting put a cast iron pan with about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil on the stove, when the bottom of the pan is coated with coconut oil pour in egg mixture, place thin slices of chicken in the egg, add the slices of green pepper, shake a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over all of it, two good squirts of lemon juice and cover, bake on lowest setting until egg has set and chicken has cooked thru'.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~HEALTHY CHICKEN STRIPS~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Chicken strips-chicken breast cut in thin strips<br />Katy's breading<br />coconut oil<br />shake strips in breading and fry/saute' in iron frying pan on a medium setting.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~'PINJUR SAUCE'~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />traditionally it's made with sweet peppers and eggplant, but here eggplant in winter is not readily available, so I do this:<br />1 bag of frozen sweet pepper/onion mix.<br />1 medium can of stewed tomatoes, chopped or sliced. [or better yet fresh garden tomatoes] I use the kind with peppers and onions in it.<br />1 tbs. Paprika<br />1 tsp. garlic powder<br />Mix altogether in a sauce pan, mix well and heat to boiling (slowly!)<br />dump all this in a jar and refrigerate, this has no fat in it and all good veggies so spoon it onto fish or chicken right after you turn it, cover, simmer for a few minutes and eat, <br /><br />~~~GOURMET CHICKEN BREAST IN ONION/MUSHROOM SAUCE~~~<br />1 chicken breast, boneless and skinless [if you buy yours doubled cut it in half, so it's actually half of one chicken breast]<br />2 tbs coconut oil <br />1 small onion sliced for half rings<br />2 garlic cloves diced<br />5 Large button mushrooms sliced<br />1 6" sprig of fresh rosemary leaves or 1 tbs of dried rosemary<br />1 tbs of 'fake' pinjur sauce<br />1-2 tbs whole, organic milk<br />1 tsp lemon juice if desired [TASTE FIRST!]<br />sea salt and pepper<br />First melt some coconut oil in the saute pan. Place your chicken breast in already seasoned in an iron frying pan turn on medium to low heat, for a few minutes.<br />Toss in garlic, onions and mushrooms in and 'sweat' the onions so they sizzle and turn translucent, not brown. This takes a bit longer, because the chicken takes a bit to cook, and you don't want your onions and mushrooms to get mushy. Stir often, after you decide the chicken is cooked nearly all the way, add the rosemary, 'pinjur' sauce and milk to make the sauce, add lemon juice if you like it piquant [lemon juice also lowers the GI number of any food it is on]<br /><br /><br />~~~~~~~~~CHICKEN STOCK~~~~~~~~~~~<br />one half organic chicken <br />4 cups of clean [filtered] water<br />boil gently for 3 hours, do not season at all<br /><br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~ BEAN AND CHICKEN SOUP~~~~~~~~~~~<br />This is so tasty I make mine hot but you can leave out the Serrano peppers and it won't be hot.<br />1 cup Pinto beans<br />1 cup fresh, homemade chicken stock<br />1 chicken breast diced in bite sized pieces<br />Katy's essence to taste<br />1 onion diced<br />5 Serrano peppers cut in small circles<br />2 celery stalks sliced<br />1 stalk of Bok Choy-sliced<br />sea salt or Himalayan salt, and pepper to taste<br />2 Tbs coconut oil or less<br /><br />soak well-rinsed beans in clean [filtered] water for a few hours<br />drain and rinse again, the cook the beans in 4 Cups of filtered water [I use my well water]<br />gently until soft, do not season at all until the beans are cooked.<br /><br />Saute' the veggies and chicken in an iron frying pan using coconut oil, add seasonings to this to taste, cook gently until chicken is completely cooked then add it to the cooked beans, allow to cook a little more, Serves 4 bowls.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~TURKEY SOUP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />two quarts of stock, <br />2 Cups of water <br />add a chicken breast, boned or not for extra meat, and<br />two large turkey wings, <br />parsley [about two tablespoons of dried]<br />3 carrots, diced<br />3 stalks of celery<br />celery seeds<br />onion, diced<br />two cloves of chopped garlics,<br />1 Tbs paprika<br />Himalayan Crystal salt to taste<br />boil the stock in a large stockpot, with the turkey, chicken breast for three hours on low heat, them remove the meat to pull off the bone and cut into smaller pieces. Then add carrots, celery, onion, and whatever other veggies we have [zucchini in season, Yummy!] and put all of the meat and veggies back into the soup, add parsley, and whatever herbs I have fresh from the garden, garlics, Paprika to color it so pretty, Himalayan Crystal salt, more taste, and noodles if you like, I don't, and boil in on SIMMER for an hour and eat! I like to save some for my lunches, but there's is nothing in there that's really bad for me, so I can eat without being worried about my blood sugar.<br /><br /><br />Healthy living can be very tasty, I've used these recipes many times and they are delicious.<br /><br />I am taking <strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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.

The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. She dictated and I wrote:<br />Dear God,<br />Will you please take special care of our dog, Abbey? She died yesterday and is in heaven. We miss her very much. We are happy that you let us have her as our dog even though she got sick. I hope that you will play with her. She liked to play with balls and swim before she got sick. I am sending some pictures of her so that when you see her in heaven you will know she is our special dog. But I really do miss her.<br />Love, Meredith Claire<br />P.S. Mommy wrote the words after I told them to her.<br />We put that in an envelope with two pictures of Abbey, and addressed it to God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith stuck some stamps on the front (because, as she said, it may take lots of stamps to get a letter all the way to heaven) and that afternoon I let her drop it into the letter box at the post office.<br />For a few days, she would ask if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.<br />Yesterday there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch. Curious, I went to look at it. It had a gold star card on the front and said "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith took it in and opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers, "When a Pet Dies". Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God, in its opened envelope (which was marked Return to sender: Insufficient address). On the opposite page, one of the pictures of Abbey was taped under the words "For Meredith" We turned to the back cover, and there was the other picture of Abbey, and this handwritten note on pink paper:<br />Dear Meredith,<br />I know that you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived safely and soundly in Heaven! Having the pictures you sent to me was such a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. You know, Meredith, she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me--just like she stays in your heart--young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets, so I can't keep your beautiful letter.<br />I am sending it to you with the pictures so that you will have this book to keep and remember Abbey.<br />One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope the little book helps. Thank you for the beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it. What a wonderful mother you have! I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much!<br />By the way, I am in heaven but wherever there is love, I am there also.<br />Love, God and the special angel who wrote this after God told her the words.<br />~~~<br />The road to success is not always a road. <br />-- Mac Anderson<br />~~~<br /><strong>Where Did You Start? </strong><br />My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. <br />He asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." <br />He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Consultation Fee </strong><br />A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer. <br />Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98." <br />A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Growing Older Is </strong><br />- Your back goes out more than you do. <br />- A fortune teller offers to read your face. <br />- You turn out the lights for economic reasons rather than romantic ones. <br />- You remember this week that last week was your wedding anniversary. <br />- You are startled the first time you are addressed as "Old Timer". <br />- You answer automatically when someone addresses you "Old Timer." <br />- You burn your midnight oil after 9:00 p.m. <br />- You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there. - Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl walk by. <br />- You get your exercise acting as a pallbearer for your friend who exercised. <br />- You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet. <br />- The best part of your day is over when your alarm goes off. <br />- The thought of getting out of bed never occurs to you. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Three times Three </strong><br />Three old men are at the doctor for a memory test. The doctor says to the first old man, "What is three times three?" <br />"274" was his reply. <br />The doctor says to the second man "It's your turn. What is three times three?" <br />"Tuesday" replys the second man. <br />The doctor says to the third man, "OK, Your turn. What's three times three?" <br />"Nine" says the third man. <br />"That's great" says the doctor. "How did you get that?" <br />"Simple" says the third man. "I subtracted 274 from Tuesday". <br />~~~<br />I got so excited when my husband expressed interest in my meditation sessions. "You don't have to close your eyes," I explained. "You can keep them open and focus on something like a candle or a spot in front of you."<br />He nodded thoughtfully. "Could it be a TV?"<br />~~~<br /><strong>Did They Really Mean That? </strong><br />The following are actual newspaper headlines: <br />- March Planned For Next August <br />- L.A. Voters Approve Urban Renewal by Landslide <br />- Patient at Death's Door - Doctors Pull Him Through <br />- Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped <br />- Prostitutes Appeal to Pope <br />- Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant <br />- Killer Sentenced to Die for Second Time in 10 Years <br />- Never Withhold Herpes Infection from Loved One <br />- Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers <br />- President Wins on Budget, But More Lies Ahead <br />- Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over <br />~~~<br /><strong>God and the Scientist </strong><br />God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him, <br />"God, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning." <br />"Oh, is that so? Tell Me..." replies God. <br />"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man." <br />"Well, that's very interesting...show Me." <br />So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man. <br />"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Make your own dirt." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Accident </strong><br />There was an engineer, manager and programmer driving down a steep mountain road. <br />The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. <br />Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff. <br />They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed. <br />The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution." <br />The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it." <br />The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again." <br />~~~<br /><strong>What Kind of Tracks </strong><br />Two boys go out on a walk. One looks down and said, "look at those, those are deer tracks my dad told me about them." <br />The second boy says no those are elk tracks, my dad told me about them.

Since it is not an original plant, one wonders how nutritious it can be, even aside from the GM factors.<br /><br />There are three kinds of corn grown commercially, Sweet corn, Field corn [also called dent corn- for the characteristic dent in each kernel] which is used for animal feed or making bio-fuels, and popcorn. But there is also another called [pod corn] in which a pod or covering grows over each kernel of corn, it is an experimental corn.<br /><br />(1)<blockquote>Indians in the Americas were growing corn extensively long before the discovery of these continents by Europeans. Archaeological studies indicate that corn was cultivated in the Americas at least 5600 years ago. The exact origin of corn is unknown as the plant is found only under cultivation. The probable center off origin is the Central American and Mexico region...Nearly all the corn now grown in the United States is of hybrid varieties. Seed is obtained by crossing inbred lines which are obtained by self pollination through several generations. This results in reduced vigor and yield but increased uniformity in the inbreds. To produce hybrid seed, two inbreds are planted together and the tassels removed from one before any pollen is shed. Thus kernels on the detasselled variety are from pollen produced on the other inbred line. This restores and increases vigor and is known as a single cross. Two single crosses may be similarly crossed producing what is termed double cross seed. Properly selected and adapted hybrid corn varieties produce higher yields and more uniform plants and ears than the open pollinated varieties formerly used.</blockquote><br /><br />Corn=plastic?<br />Now corn is being manufactured into pellets polylactic acid (PLA), to be made into a post-petroleum age plastic that is supposed to be a safe food storage container material. For years natural food companies like Newman's own and Wild Oats have been quietly using these containers, now Wal-mart has joined this group in a not so quiet way.<br /><br />With the rise in the production of bio-fuels naturally corn prices will go up ad some huge shortages are forecasted. In addition to the deadly fungal threat to the wheat crops in the coming year, we could have some major grain shortages. Growing the Victory garden might just be the best idea, First it will solve the "What the heck is in it?" dilemma, and it won't have the age-problems associated shipping, you ca can or freeze your crop, it will be a healthy, cheaper solution to what looks Ike a bad year for food.<br /><br />Here is another solution for shortages, clean water shortages, Everyone needs at least one of these for their emergency kits:<br /><a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heighth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />It lasts for approximately 1 year.

But, as time went by, the traffic built-up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. <br />So one day Farmer John called the sheriffs office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." <br />"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. <br />"I don't care," said Farmer John. "Just do something about these crazy drivers!" So the next day, he had the county workers go out and erected a sign that said, SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING. <br />Three days later Farmer John called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The school crossing sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new sign that said, SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY. <br />But that sped them up even more! So Farmer John kept calling, and the sheriff kept changing the signs. <br />Finally, Farmer John said to the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff was ready to let Farmer John do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling every day. He said, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." And after that, the sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John. <br />Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "Hows the problem with those drivers? Did you put up your sign?" <br />"Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. Ive got to go. Im very busy." He hung up the phone. <br />The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself "Id better go out there and take a look at that sign... it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers..." So the sheriff drove out to Farmer Johns house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign.

Thyroid hormones are important in regulating body energy, the body's use of other hormones and vitamins, and the growth and maturation of body tissues.<br /><br />Two things that can go wrong are Hyperthyroidism, or having a too active thyroid or Hypothyroidism which is having too little hormone production.<br /><br />Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:<br />*Nervousness and irritability *Palpitations and tachycardia <br />*Heat intolerance or increased sweating *Tremor *Weight loss or gain<br />*Increase in appetite *Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea<br />*Lower leg swelling *Sudden paralysis *Shortness of breath with exertion<br />*Decreased menstrual flow *Impaired fertility *Sleep disturbances (including insomnia) *Changes in vision *Photophobia, or light sensitivity<br />*Eye irritation with excess tears *Diplopia, or double vision<br />*Exophthalmos, or forward protrusion of the eyeball<br /><br />Therapy for hyperthyroidism is often radioactive iodine ablation or thyroidectomy.<br /><br />Symptoms for Hypothyroidism include:<br />*Fatigue *Weakness *Intolerance to cold *Muscle aching and cramps<br />*Constipation *Weight gain or difficulty losing weight *Poor appetite<br />*Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) *Dry, rough skin *Coarse hair or hair loss <br />*Eye and face swelling *Deeper and/or hoarse voice *Irregular or heavy menstrual periods *Depression *Memory loss *Slowed thinking and mental activity<br />*Increased blood cholesterol levels <br /><br />Therapies for hypothyroidism include: Levothyroxine drugs or for alternative treatments: an adjustment in the diet to add iodine as in seafood. But too much Iodine can make a poorly functioning thyroid worse as well as some thyroid-blocking action from cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower which can exacerbate thyroid function if these otherwise highly nutritious foods are eaten in very high doses. <br /><br />Of course all of these symptoms are pretty universal for may other conditions and a blood test for thyroid function is a good idea, many doctors contend themselves with a cursory palpating examination or the neck which just isn't enough at all. Many women, in particular find that correct diagnosis and therapy for either hypo- or hyper thyroidism is really a life-saver for them.<br /><br />One outstanding Medical revolutionary by the name of Nan Fuchs M.D. says this:<br />(2)<blockquote>One in 10 women in this country have been diagnosed with thyroid problems. Some endocrinologists believe that one in four women have an under active or overactive thyroid. One reason may be because our thyroid glands are twice as large as those in men, creating a greater need for iodine. When we're under stress, our thyroids become even larger and more active, causing us to need even more. <br />This recent epidemic of thyroid problems appears to be due to a decline in dietary iodine. In 1940, our typical American diet contained 500-800 micrograms of iodine. By 1995, that amount had dropped down to 135 micrograms. But insufficient iodine intake isn't the only reason for low iodine. Thyroid problems are also caused by two other factors: exposure to substances that interfere with iodine levels, and an increased exposure to harmful radioactive iodine. <br /><br />But don't think that all iodine is the same. It's not. There are two forms: iodine 127 (safe, natural dietary iodine) and iodine 131 (a harmful radioactive by-product of nuclear energy). Your body absorbs and retains any kind of iodine, depositing most of it in your thyroid gland or breasts. If you're deficient in the safe form of iodine, you'll absorb more radioactive iodine 131. But if you have enough dietary iodine, you won't absorb as much of the radioactive kind. The good iodine blocks the harmful type. Seaweed provides the dietary iodine you need for better thyroid function, and protects you from the harmful effects of radioactive iodine. <br /><br />All of us have been exposed to radioactive iodine. Since 1945, radioactive material has been released into the air from nuclear testing and nuclear power plants all over the world. The ordinary day-to-day operations of these nuclear plants put harmful radioactive iodine into our atmosphere. Since we can't avoid it, we need to block its absorption. This exposure to iodine 131 is very possibly the origin of the increased amount of thyroid disorders we're seeing today. The regular consumption of seaweed may restore your thyroid function. Interfering with Iodine <br />Anything that contains chlorine, fluoride, and bromine, like water, whether it's used internally or externally, interferes with iodine molecules and causes your body to excrete the iodine it needs so badly. Chlorine is present in most city water supplies. Unless you de-chlorinate your water, you are being exposed to thyroid-lowering gases whenever you bathe, shower, or have a drink of water. You can quickly and easily remove chlorine in your shower with a number of products </blockquote><br /><br />Since Chlorine is an enemy of our Thyroid I drink filtered water on-the-go with <a href='http://productshealth.net/puregofilteringwaterbottle.htm' target="new"> pure-go filtering water bottles</a><img width=50 heighth=90 src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/PureGobottle.jpg"><br />It lasts for approximately 1 year.

After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled them into his typewriter to type the labels. <br />- A customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes to the technician. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of her diskettes. <br />- A technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer put the disk in, asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and closing the door to his room. <br />- A customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then he removed all the keys and washed them individually. <br />- An exasperated caller to Tech Support couldn't get her new computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse. <br />- Another customer called Tech Support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?" <br />-new acronym for tech's...

Many people drink it as if it's incidental to their day, infusing their routine with the dangers of the many ingredients guaranteed to endanger our health. What it contains:<br /><br />(1)<strong>Phosphoric Acid:</strong> this interferes with calcium absorption and may cause weakened bones and teeth, it also neutralizes hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which can interfere with digestion, making it difficult to utilize nutrients. So if you are taking calcium to make your bones strong, you can pretty much kiss that benefit goodbye if you drink pop, also since it keeps you from utilizing other nutrients you eat, well your food becomes merely empty calories, how do you feel right now?<br /><br /><strong>Sugar:</strong> also called killer white sugar, why? Sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar. And if that's not enough they also sweeten your fizzy drinks with lots of cheaper High Fructose Corn syrup:<br /><br /><br />(2)<blockquote><strong>High Fructose Corn Syrup</strong> HFCS high fructose corn syrup is responsible for a dangerous epidemic of obesity and diabetes. People under the age of 45 are “children of the corn.” ...of the food industry’s high fructose corn syrup. They were children or young adults in the late 70s, 80s and 90s when high fructose corn syrup was introduced to the American food supply as a cheap replacement for sugar. Now many of them are struggling with an epidemic of obesity and diabetes, also being referred to as diabesity.<br />It puts people at risk for metabolic syndrome. According to the Mayo Clinic, "Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Having just one of these conditions — increased blood pressure, elevated insulin levels, excess body fat around the waist or abnormal cholesterol levels — contributes to your risk of serious disease. In combination, your risk is even greater." People who use HFCS as a sweetener increase their triglycerides 32 percent relative to people who use mostly sugar, it doesn't trigger the satiation mechanism that tells us, I'm full, I've had enough, so we tend to really overdo our eating. There is a a rise in uric acid in the bloodstream that occurs after fructose is consumed. The temporary spike of HFCS blocks the action of insulin, which typically regulates how body cells use and store sugar and other food nutrients for energy. If uric acid levels are frequently elevated, over time features of metabolic syndrome may develop, including high blood pressure, obesity and elevated blood cholesterol levels. Older people may have something to worry about also. The leading theory about the cause of Alzheimer's Disease implicates insulin. Insulin concentrations in the brain drop significantly in early Alzheimer's and continue to fall as the disease worsens, suggesting that Alzheimer's Disease may be Type 3 diabetes. Researchers found that insulin is not just produced in the pancreas, but also in the brain.</blockquote><br /><br />(1)<blockquote><strong>Aspartame:</strong> This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilepsy/seizures. Further, when aspartame is stored for long periods of time or kept in warm areas it changes to methanol, an alcohol that converts to formaldehyde and formic acid, which are known carcinogens. <br /><br /><strong>Caffeine: </strong>Caffeinated drinks can cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some forms of cancer.</blockquote><br /><br />(4)<blockquote><strong>Sodium benzoate:</strong>: Soda could be doing more damage than you think Credit: unknown Copyright: unknown Enlarge + According to recent research, carried out by Sheffield University in the UK, a preservative that is commonly found in soft drinks can cause essential parts of human DNA to stop working, leading to serious health problems.</blockquote> It can lead to cancer, Parkinson's and cirrhosis of the Liver, by damaging the mitochondria... yummy!

Fiber found in grains, legume, fruits and vegetables plays a role in relieving constipation as we all know; but it is also vital to lower blood sugar for Diabetics, aid in weight loss, it also lowers your chances of contracting diabetes or heart disease. If you already suffer from these diseases then eat more fiber....Unlike the fats,carbohydrates,and proteins which the body breaks down and absorbs, fiber cannot be digested so it is expelled, but as it is being expelled it will carry lots of other fecal matter with it, It also helps to clean the walls of the intestines allowing them to be relieved of the rotting fecal matter that causes, cancers, diverticuli, ulcers and other colon ills, also quick expelling of waste helps the body to digest faster so that it is less loggy, Digestion really slows down the body. If you think of the operations of the body like your computers memory you can see that the heavy-duty job of digestion; Esophagus, stomach, 26 feet of small intestine, and 3-5 feet of large intestine or colon, and not to mention the liver, kidneys, blood vessels, and pancreas all working to aid in this process and you see that our systems memory is fully engaged. Fiber can shove everything through so much faster so our lives aren't always logged down with the laborious, and exhaustion processes of digestion, not to mention the poisons released as digestion is going more slowly and rotting before it's eventual evacuation from the colon. Fiber is divided into two kinds, Soluble and insoluble. <br />~The soluble is the kind that dissolves in water to form a gel-like mass it is found in:oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley and psyllium, to help in lowering Cholesterol and blood glucose. <br />~The insoluble as found in: Whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts and many vegetables sources help the body push waste matter through the intestines.<br /><br />I have a recipe for you, I call it bean soup.<br /><br />1 1/2 C. Pinto beans soaked for a few hours, rinsed and drained a couple of times, then gently boiled for an hour or so until soft.<br /><br />Then in another pan I sauté tiny bits of chicken breast[1 cup] and [1] onion chopped, I add sea salt, pepper, celery seeds and Katy's essence spices to taste [actually a bit strong because it will dilute in the beans. Also I add 3 Tbs of chia seeds and any other veggies I have on hand; green peppers, broccoli, bok choy chopped small so all the bits are the size of the beans. Then I boil it a bit longer to blend the flavors, Serve and eat, this makes maybe three bowls or more! of extremely yummy soup.<br /><br />~~~Katy's Spicy essence~~~<br />I've sent this out to friends all over the US because when I make it every year I make a lot!<br /><br />When I say a <em>part</em> I use a bottle of spice, it can be any size as long as all 'parts' are about the same size. Experiment, use your favorites, don't stick with the strict formula, I don't.<br /><br />2 1/2 parts of paprika [I love paprika anyway]<br />2 parts salt[I use sea salt](you can use more sea salt,not harmful like table salt)<br />2 parts garlic powder- use the kind that says it's just garlic, no preservatives.<br />1 part black pepper<br />1 part onion powder<br />1 part cayenne powder<br />1 part Italian herbs or basil, oregano, parsley from your garden<br />1 part crushed red pepper<br />2 parts chili powder<br />put it all in your food processor to grind up the Italian herbs and crushed red pepper so it's Incorporated well into the other spices which are powders.<br /><br />I usually make a double batch to last a year, we snarf this stuff, I put it in re-marked spice bottles that the ingredients came from, I then save then as I empty them so I'll always have bottles to keep it in. Most of the people I know love it too. I have to admit it's a revised version of the Emmeril Legasse's essence which includes MSG. I don't use any MSG.<br /><br />I try to eat lots of raw veggies, including a spinach salad often, drink a green veggie juice cocktail twice every day, I eat seeds, and nuts and beans; and I'm taking <strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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.

All participants were over the age of 65 and lived in one rural and one urban area in the south of the country.<br />Validated tests were carried out at the start and end of the two year period to find out if they had a dementing illness. Similarly, blood tests were taken to assess levels of folate, vitamin B12, and the protein homocysteine, and how these changed over time.<br />High levels of homocysteine have been associated with cardiovascular disease.<br />At the start of the two year period, almost one in five people had high levels of homocysteine, while 17% had low vitamin B12 levels and 3.5% were folate deficient.<br />The higher the levels of folate to begin with, the higher were vitamin B12 levels, and the lower those of homocysteine.<br />By the end of the study, 45 people had developed dementia. Of these, 34 had Alzheimer's disease, seven had vascular dementia, and four had "other" types of dementia.<br />Dementia was more likely in those who were older, relatively poorly educated, inactive, and had deposits of the protein ApoE.</blockquote><br /><br />Translated this is saying that Folate helps to decrease homocysteine and thereby the chances of getting dementia and heart disease. In some studies the rate is triple the chances getting these diseases, if one has a folate deficiency.

The good news is, we have<br />enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's<br />still out there in your pockets.'<br />========<br />While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The<br />owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to<br />the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... 'Energy efficient<br />vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.'<br />========<br />A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, 'Boys and girls,<br />what do we know about God?' A hand shot up in the air. 'He is an artist!'<br />said the kindergarten boy. 'Really? How do you know?' the teacher asked.<br />'You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... '<br />========<br />A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a<br />long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many<br />cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant<br />pump. 'Reverend,' said the young man, 'I'm so sorry about the delay. It<br />seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long<br />trip.' The minister chuckled, 'I know what you mean. It's the same in my<br />business.'<br />========<br />People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of<br />attention.<br />========<br />A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, 'I know what<br />the Bible means!' His father smiled and replied, 'What do you mean, you<br />'know' what the Bible means?' The son replied, 'I do know!'<br />'Okay,' said his father. 'What does the Bible mean?'<br />'That's easy, Daddy.' the young boy replied excitedly, 'It stands for <br />'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.''<br />========<br />Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson<br />was about. The daughter answered, 'Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt.'<br />Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor<br />stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school<br />lesson was about. He said 'Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.'<br />========<br />The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the<br />congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for<br />repairs to the church building.<br />Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a<br />substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to<br />know what to play.<br />'Here's a copy of the service,' he said impatiently. 'But, you'll have to<br />think of something to play after I make the announcement about the<br />finances.'<br />During the service, the minister paused and said, 'Brothers and Sisters, we<br />are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected<br />and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please<br />stand up.'<br />At that moment, the substitute organist played 'The Star Spangled Banner.'<br />And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!<br />~~~<br />It's a rare person who wants to hear what he<br />doesn't want to hear.<br />-- Dick Cavett<br /><br />If the automobile had followed the same<br />development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would<br />today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and<br />explode once a year, killing everyone inside.<br />-- Robert X.

When we sat down at the table, we noticed that the dishes were dirty. <br />"Were these dishes washed?", I asked the hostess as I rubbed my fingers over the surface. <br />She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could get them". <br />I felt a bit apprehensive, but started eating anyway. Dinner was delicious, despite the dirty dishes. When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside and yelled, "Here Soap! Here Water!" <br />~~~<br /><br />Drop Dead Poker <br />Six guys were playing poker when Smith loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five complete their playing time standing up. After the game Mr. Roberts looks around and asks, "Now, who is going to tell the wife?" <br />They draw straws. Rippington, who is always a loser, picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse than it is. Rippington says, "Gentlemen! Discreet? I'm the most discreet man you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me." <br />Rippington walks over to the Smith house, knocks on the door, the wife answers, asks what he wants. <br />Rippington says, "Your husband just lost $500 playing cards." <br />She hollers, "TELL HIM TO DROP DEAD!" <br />Rippington says, "I'll tell him." <br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Americans Are Wacky <br />- We will work hard on a farm so we can move into town where we can make more money so we can move back to the farm. <br />- In the office we talk about baseball, shopping or fishing, but when we are out at the game, the mall or on the lake, we talk about business. <br />- We are the only people in the world who will pay $.50 to park our car while eating a $.25 sandwhich. <br />- We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world and more diets to keep us from eating it. <br />- We run from morning to night trying to keep our earning power up with our yearning power. <br />- We're supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but we still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car. <br />- We have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world and still have more divorces. <br />- We yell for the Government to balance the budget, then take the last dime we have to make the down payment on a car. <br />- We whip the enemy in battle, then give them the shirt off our backs. <br />- We yell for speed laws that will stop fast driving, then won't buy a car if it can't go over 100 miles an hour. <br />- Americans get scared to death if we vote a billion dollars for education, then are unconcerned when we find out we are spending three billion dollars a year for cigarettes. <br />- We know the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues but don't know half the words in the "Star Spangled Banner". <br />- We'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for lost time. <br />- We tie up our dog while letting our sixteen year old son run wild. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Murphy on Work </strong><br />- There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to do it over. <br />- The more pretentious a corporate name, the smaller the organization. (For instance, The Murphy Center for Codification of Human and Organizational Law, contrasted to IBM, GM, AT&T ...). <br />- If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it. <br />- You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk. <br />- People are always available for work in the past tense. <br />- If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done. <br />- At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying. <br />- When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried. <br />- You will always get the greatest recognition for the job you least like. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Second Wife </strong><br />When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to the older child. It went like this: <br />"Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love you so much we decided to bring another child into this family.' But think about that. Ladies, what if your husband came home one day and said, 'Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home another wife.'" <br />One of the women spoke up immediately. "Does she cook?"<br />~~~<br /><strong>A Lobster Story </strong><br />In a small fishing village, a Newfoundlander was walking Up the wharf carrying two at-least-three-pound live lobsters, one in each hand. <br />It was three weeks after the season closed! Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf but the Federal Fisheries Officer who, upon viewing the live and wiggling lobsters, says: "Well me Laddie I got you this time - with two live lobsters three weeks after the season Closed!" <br />The Newfie says, "No - My Son you are wrong! These are two trained lobsters that I caught two weeks before the season ended." <br />The Fisheries Officer says, " Trained like how?" <br />"Well my son, each day I takes these two from my house down to the wharf and puts them in the water for a swim. While they swim I sits on the wharf and has me a smoke, or two. After about 15 minutes I whistles and up comes me two lobsters, and I takes them home!" <br />"Likely story", the Fisheries Officer says! "Lets take them on down the wharf and see if it's true." <br />So, the Newfie goes ahead of the Fisheries Officer to the end of the wharf where, under supervision, he gently lowers both lobsters into the water. <br />The Newfie sits on a wharf piling and lights up a smoke, then another! After about 15 minutes the Fisheries Officer says to the Newfie, "How about whistling?" <br />The Newfie says " What For?" <br />The Fisheries Officer says, " To call in the Lobsters" <br />The Newfie says, " What Lobsters?" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Neighbor's Barking </strong><br />Chris and Pat are in their residence listening to the neighbor's dog, who has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours. Finally, Chris jumps up and says, 'I've had enough of this' <br />Rushing downstairs, Chris finally returns, and Pat says 'The dog is still barking, what have you been doing?' <br />Chris says, 'I've put the dog in our backyard, let's see how they like it.' <br />~~~<br />May you blessed with the wisdom to choose the best foods for your menu to facilite maximum health, and May you always enjoy robust and energetic well-being.<br /><br />Sources<br />(1)http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080204212850.htm<br />see also:<br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/05/010508083559.htm<br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070108191636.htm<br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/10/021004064826.htm<br />folate sources:<br />http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5553.html<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

It is also one of the main causes of death in Canada and is killing more and more people throughout the world. <br />Dietary advice for reducing heart disease risk includes eating a balanced diet with less saturated fat from red meats, more fresh fruits and vegetables, more fish, less sugar, more fiber and for many people, fewer total calories. Then you can make your heart and the rest of your cardiovascular system even healthier by adding more of these foods: <br /><strong>Salmon</strong><br />Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that protect your heart by reducing both inflammation and the risk of blood clots. These fats also work to keep your cholesterol levels healthy. Eat salmon or other oily ocean fish like tuna, sardines or herring at least two times per week. For a heart-healthy meal, try grilled salmon steaks with a green vegetable and a side salad with a sprinkling of <br /><strong>Olive oil</strong> reduces your risk of heart disease by lowering your LDL cholesterol levels. Choose olive oil for cooking, or make a nice dip for whole grain bread by pouring a bit of olive oil in a small bowl and add a bit of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of oregano. <br /><strong>Oats</strong> contain a soluble fiber called beta glucan that helps reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Soluble fiber also helps keep your digestive system healthy. Enjoy oatmeal with just a small amount of brown sugar and plenty of strawberries and walnuts for breakfast. Cold cereals made with oats are also great with low-fat milk <br /><strong>Apples </strong>contain a phytochemical called quercetin which acts as an antiinflammatory and will help prevent blood clots as well. Apples contain vitamins and fiber, come in several delicious varieties and are portable. Eat an apple with a handful of walnuts or almonds as a healthy snack or add apple slices to your healthy salads. <br /><strong>Almonds </strong>and other nuts contain healthy oils, vitamin E and other substances that will help keep cholesterol levels in check. Almonds are also a good source of protein and fiber. Almonds make a great snack on their own, or sprinkle slivered almonds on green beans or asparagus with lemon juice as a deliciously healthy side <br /><strong>Red wine </strong>contains a powerful antioxidant called resveratrol. Resveratrol has been shown to be good for your heart. Be sure to enjoy red wine in moderation. Studies <br /><strong>Whole grains </strong>provide vitamins and fiber that will help to keep your heart healthy. Make a deliciously healthy sandwich with two slices of 100-percent whole-grain bread, three ounces of lean turkey breast, lots of sliced tomatoes and avocado, plus lettuce and a bit of mustard. Switch from white pasta to whole grain pasta too. <br /><strong>Green leafy vegetables </strong>contain folate, which helps to keep homocysteine levels down, and vitamin E. Green leafy vegetables have also been associated with better retention of memory as age. Try using fresh spinach leaves or other greens for your favorite salad instead of iceberg lettuce. <br /><strong>Tomatoes</strong> are packed with vitamins and lycopene, which has been shown to reduce heart disease risk. Add thick slices of tomatoes to sandwiches and salads or enjoy tomato sauce on whole wheat pasta. In fact, cooked tomato sauce and canned tomato sauce that you buy in the store both contain more lycopene than raw tomatoes. <br /><strong>Soy</strong> protein has been shown to prevent heart attacks and soy makes an excellent protein substitute for red meat, which will reduce your saturated fat intake. Add tofu to your favorite stir fry or pour soy milk on your morning cereal. </blockquote><br />(3)<blockquote>Research shows that the curry spice turmeric can help prevent heart failure and repair damaged hearts. <br />Although the tests were carried out in mice, scientists are hopeful the findings could apply to humans. <br />Heart failure, in which the heart, damaged by heart attack or disease, gradually loses the ability to pump blood round the body, typically kills 40 percent of victims within a year of onset. Symptoms include tiredness, swollen ankles and breathlessness. <br />Although there are drugs that can control the condition, there is no way of repairing the scarring and damage suffered by heart muscles. </blockquote><br /><br />I have a few changes to make to this list, first, unless the soy is fermented stay away from it, it has phytic acid that causes too many problems for too many to be considered beneficial.See <a href='http://to-reverse-diabetes.blogspot.com/2007/10/soy-health-food-or-hazard.html' target="new"> Soy-health or hazard</a> Also almonds are only beneficial if they are raw. Unfortunately the government thinks they need to be nuked to be "safe". Many people are allergic to grains and should avoid them also. Vegetables are best for healthy hearts if they are brightly colored, and leafy, Grocery stores tend to throw away the healthiest parts of lettuce and cabbage, because they are the darkest, most nutritious parts. Celery is grown surrounded by walls designed to blanch or keep them pale, in this case it keeps the celery from being too bitter, but it also keeps the vitamin count down. The most nutritious parts of the celery are the bitterish leaves and greenest outside stalks. The brightest colors of foods, the raw, and freshest ones are the healthiest. See <a href='http://to-reverse-diabetes.blogspot.com/2007/12/phyto-power-more-zip-in-your-diet.html' target="new">Phyto power</a><br /><br />Much ado is made of Cholesterol but as we've seen recently it is not nearly the villian drug manufacturers are wont to worry us about. See <a href='http://to-reverse-diabetes.blogspot.com/2008/01/cholesterol-not-bad-thing-we-think-it.html' target="new">Cholesterol, not the bad thing we think it is</a> However it is important to protect our circulatory system by using proper fats, coconut oil, and raw butter are the best to cook with, Olive oil is best to have as a salad dressing base. Trans fats are really hazardous to our health but saturated and poly unsaturated fats are our friends. Red meats if the animal was grain-fed are dangerous to our hearts but lard made from Beef that is range-fed is very good for us. Normal vegetable oils, even those that are touted to be good for us aren't, they are the artery cloggers.<br /><br />An extremely important factor in heart health is EFA'a.<br />(2)<blockquote>Fatty Acid Therapy: Your Heart Could Hang In The Balance <br />n-3 Fats May Modulate The Key Risk Markers Cholesterol and Insulin <br />Early Arctic explorers were among the first to observe the puzzling enigma: Why did Eskimos, who heartily consumed one of the fattiest diets on the planet, rarely ever develop heart disease? <br />This riddle has been solved bit by bit, as mounting research uncovers a plethora of heart-healthy benefits associated with omega-3 (n-3) oils. These fatty nutrients are contained in high amounts in the traditional Eskimo diet of coldwater fish, seal, and whale meat. Now, a new study on rural Inuit populations of northern Quebec lends more support to this already strong association. </blockquote><br /><br />EFA's or essential fatty acids include Flax seed, Borage, cold water fish like Salmon, Sardines, Tuna, Mackeral, cod and halibut but pick the smaller ones to eat due to Mercury content in the bigger fish. Oh and pick the ones that are wild caught. Who knows what the farmed fish are fed.<br /><br />So, to sum this up, the answer is stil diet and exercise, eat fresh, locally grown veggies, and get lots of EFA's, and the right fats, cook gently and eat no processed foods. And don't forget the turmeric.<br /><br />As for me, I'm taking <strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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.<br />And:<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/antioxidants/natures-way-selenium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">SELENIUM</a>helps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/magnesium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">MAGNESIUM</a>helps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/diabetes/chromium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">CHROMIUM</a>improves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/zinc.aspx' TARGET="NEW">ZINC</a> especially to help you heal.<br />I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/cholesterol/extravirgincoconutoil.aspx' target="new">coconut oil<br /></a><br /><img src="http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/thumbnails/ExtraVirginCoconutOil.jpg"><br />*************************************<br />Be sure to check out my new favorite interactive health message group <a href='http://members.boardhost.com/bailey59/' target="new">healthwatch</a><br />Write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway. <br />The next day he decided to drive the cat 40 blocks away. He put the beast out and headed home. Driving back up his driveway, there was the cat! <br />He kept taking the cat further and further and the cat would always beat him home. At last he decided to drive a few miles away, turn right, then left, past the bridge, then right again and another right until he reached what he thought was a safe distance from his home and left the cat there. <br />Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?" <br />"Yes", the wife answers, "why do you ask?" <br />Frustrated, the man answered, "Put that darned cat on the phone. I'm lost and need directions!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>GOSSIP</strong><br />Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear or are about to<br />repeat a rumor.<br />In ancient Greece, Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the<br />great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and<br />said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"<br />"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to<br />pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."<br />"Three?"<br />"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my<br />student, let's take a moment to test what you're going to say.<br />The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are<br />about to tell me is true?"<br />"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."<br />"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.<br />Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about<br />to tell me about my student something good?"<br />"No, on the contrary..."<br />"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even<br />Though you're not certain it's true?"<br />The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.<br />Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is a Third<br />test -- the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my<br />student going to be useful to me?"<br />"No, not really."<br />"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor<br />Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"<br />The man was defeated and left, ashamed.<br />~~~<br />Bad Day <br />You know it's going to be a bad day when your teenager knocks on your bedroom door first thing in the morning and says, "Today is Nerd Day at school, Dad. Can I borrow some of your clothes?" <br />~~~<br />May your heart be blessed with health and love, May your life be filled with joy and laughter a great medicine for your heart.<br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1)http://nutrition.about.com/od/foodfun/a/healthy_heart.htm<br />(2)http://www.gdx.net/home/news/connections/vol14/conn20011128.html<br />(3)http://www.thirdage.com/news/articles/ALT02/08/03/10/ALT02080310-02.html?utm_campaign=nl_health&utm_term=20080310&utm_source=ta_nl&utm_medium=email<br />http://www.treelight.com/health/nutrition/PartiallyHydrogenatedOils.html<br />http://www.mercola.com/2003/oct/15/cooking_oil.htm<br />http://www.aspartame.ca/page_oho3.htm<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Sardinian coins, until recent times, were minted with a parsley imprint. A member of the carrot family, there are more than thirty-seven different varieties, including broad-leaved, curly-leaved, Hamburg, and Neapolitan (Italian) parsley. The mild curly-leaved is prettier as a garnish, but the flat-leaved (Italian) is more tender and has a stronger, more intense flavor. <br />Parsley has a tangy, sweet flavor that helps bring out the flavor of other herbs and seasonings, particularly in soups and stews. The stems have a stronger flavor than the leaves; both are used to flavor sauces, soups, salads, omelets, and stuffings and as a decorative garnish for virtually any dish. Because of the high vitamin C and iron content of this herb, it should be added to foods whenever possible. Parsley's high chlorophyll content works to absorb odors and thus makes an effective after-dinner breath mint. Parsley is also available in the form of dried flakes, although these are lacking in both flavor and color compared to the fresh.<br />Raw parsley facilitates oxygen metabolism, cleanses the blood, dissolves sticky deposits in veins, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, facilitates removal of moderately sized kidney stones and gallstones, stimulates the bowel, treats deafness and ear infections, benefits the sexual system, and stimulates adrenal sections. Chewed after eating a meal heavy in garlic, it will eliminate halitosis (bad breath) because of its chlorophyll content. Parsley tea strengthens the teeth and makes a face lotion to increase circulation and bring color to the skin. Stir one teaspoonful of parsley leaves in a cup of hot water; cool, stir, and strain before drinking or using as a wash.</blockquote><br /><br /><img width=50 height=80 src="http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/s/sages-05a-l.jpg"><br />(2)<blockquote>Sage is indigenous to northern Mediterranean regions, where it prefers the arid soil of hillsides, especially if it is chalky. Sage finds its most representative natural habitat in Dalmatia - on the chalky, practically bare, and very stony lands overhanging the Adriatic. It probably crossed the Alps along with the monks on their travels. Another member of the enormous mint family, this aromatic woody evergreen shrub has violet-blue flowers and woolly, gray-green leaves. Like many other foods, sage got into the pantry via the medicine chest. Its health-protecting advantages have been forgotten by many, but along the way most people have learned to like its flavor. The French produced so much sage at one time that they exported it in the form of tea; the Chinese became so fond of sage tea that they traded four pounds of their tea for one pound of sage.<br />Sage is available as fresh or dried leaves, the dried being generally preferred over the fresh leaves. The flavor of sage may be described as warm, pungent, slightly bitter yet lemony, with just a hint of camphor. Chopped fresh or dried leaves are added to salads, kebabs, stuffings, squash dishes, beans, pickles, and cheese. The most popular use of sage is as an ingredient in stuffing at Thanksgiving, but it should be used throughout the year.<br />Sage is one of those herbs that has been used to cure a multitude of ills. One of its properties is to aid in the digestion of heavy, greasy meats, preventing their oxidation, and thus sage is a common ingredient in pork, sausage, and duck recipes. Its action focuses on the mouth, the throat, and the female reproductive system. It increases estrogen and helps treat menopausal sweats. It has long been regarded as a tonic that keeps the stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, spleen, and sexual organs healthy (although it may temper sexual desire). Sage is stimulating and cleansing to the skin and scalp, soothing to sore muscles, and restorative to aging skin and hair, encouraging hair growth if the roots have not been destroyed. Its stimulating qualities increase circulation and relieve headaches, break fevers, and help reduce respiratory congestion and other cold symptoms. For sparkling teeth, rub them with fresh sage leaves; this will not only whiten and clean the teeth, but also strengthen the gums and make the breath pleasant. Because sage contains sclereol, which stimulates the body to produce its own estrogen, it may nutritionally support the body during the childbearing years and menopause. It may also help us in coping with despair and mental fatigue.</blockquote><br /><br /><img width=50 height=80 src="http://www.papagenos.com/picts/2006%20Images/RosemaryTopes/DblBallRosemaryTope.jpg"><br />(3)<blockquote>In addition, rosemary is a valuable culinary herb. It is a member of the mint family, which includes other popular seasonings such as basil, oregano, sage, and thyme. Rosemary is a common ingredient in French and Italian dishes. It can be used to flavor stews, entrees, soups, and casseroles, and may be added to various dressings. It is a component of the popular Italian seasoning. <br />Rosemary can also be tastefully added to dishes that feature potatoes, squash, tomatoes, peas and carrots. When used sparingly, rosemary adds an interesting flavor to cakes, baked apples and biscuits. The flavor of rosemary is at its best when the leaves are harvested at the time the plant is in bloom. The youngest stems contain the leaves that are the most fragrant. <br />The fresh or dried leaves and flowering tops of rosemary are used for a variety of medicinal benefits. In traditional European medicine, rosemary has been used internally as a tonic, stimulant, and as a carminative to treat flatulence. It is also used to treat dyspepsia, mild gastrointestinal upsets, colds, headaches, and nervous tension. In India and China, rosemary leaves are used to treat headaches. <br />Early in American history rosemary was used as an antispasmodic, to stimulate the appetite and improve digestion. Today, rosemary is recognized for its ability to stimulate bile secretion and for its anti-inflammatory properties. People gargle rosemary tea to help heal mouth ulcers and canker sores. </blockquote><br /><br /><img width=50 height=80 src="http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/51266110.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=444ED34A869CB9701209D6E6043B2484284831B75F48EF45"><br />(4) <blockquote>A delicate looking herb with a penetrating fragrance, thyme is a wonderful addition to bean, egg and vegetable dishes. Both fresh and dried thyme is available in your local supermarket throughout the year. <br />Thyme leaves are curled, elliptically shaped and very small, measuring about one-eighth of an inch long and one-sixteenth of an inch wide. The upper leaf is green-grey in color on top, while the underside is a whitish color. Along with fresh sprigs of parsley and bay leaves, thyme is included in the French combination of herbs called bouquet garni used to season stock, stews and soups. <br />Thyme has a long history of use in natural medicine in connection with chest and respiratory problems including coughs, bronchitis, and chest congestion. Only recently, however, have researchers pinpointed some of the components in thyme that bring about its healing effects. The volatile oil components of thyme are now known to include carvacolo, borneol, geraniol, but most importantly, thymol. <br />Significant Anti-Oxidant Protection of Cellular Membranes<br />Thymol - named after the herb itself - is the primary volatile oil constituent of thyme, and its health-supporting effects are well documented. In studies on aging in rats, thymol has been found to protect and significantly increase the percentage of healthy fats found in cell membranes and other cell structures. In particular, the amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid) in brain, kidney, and heart cell membranes was increased after dietary supplementation with thyme. In other studies looking more closely at changes in the brains cells themselves, researchers found that the maximum benefits of thyme occurred when the food was introduced very early in the lifecycle of the rats, but was less effective in offsetting the problems in brain cell aging when introduced late in the aging process. <br />Thyme also contains a variety of flavonoids, including apigenin, naringenin, luteolin, and thymonin. These flavonoids increase thyme's antioxidant capacity, and combined with its status as a very good source of manganese, give thyme a high standing on the list of anti-oxidant foods. </blockquote><br /><br />As for me, I stay healthy with my 1/2 raw, fresh veggie diet, lots of fiber, very little meat [only chicken or fish], I stay active and use <strong><a href='http://productshealth.net/index.html' target="new">CellPower™</a></strong><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/paleriter/cellpower.jpg"> 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.<br />And:<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/antioxidants/natures-way-selenium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">SELENIUM</a>helps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/magnesium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">MAGNESIUM</a>helps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/diabetes/chromium.aspx' TARGET="NEW">CHROMIUM</a>improves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/vitamins-minerals/minerals/zinc.aspx' TARGET="NEW">ZINC</a> especially to help you heal.<br />I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.<br />~<a href='http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/supplements/cholesterol/extravirgincoconutoil.aspx' target="new">coconut oil<br /></a><br /><img src="http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/thumbnails/ExtraVirginCoconutOil.jpg"><br />*************************************<br />Be sure to check out my new favorite interactive health message group <a href='http://members.boardhost.com/bailey59/' target="new">healthwatch</a><br />Write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

I know I have! <br />~~~<br />I work in a central reservation office of an airline. After more than 130,000 conversations -- all ending with "Have a nice day and thanks for calling" -- I think it's fair to say that I'm a survivor. <br />I've made it through all the calls from adults who didn't know the difference between a.m. and p.m., from mothers of military recruits who didn't trust their little soldiers to get it right, from the woman who called to get advice on how to handle her teenage daughter, from the man who wanted to ride inside the kennel with his dog so he wouldn't have to pay for a seat, from the woman who wanted to know why she had to change clothes on our flight between Chicago and Washington (she was told she'd have to make a change between the two cities) and from the man who asked if I'd like to discuss the existential humanism that emanates from the soul of Habeeb. <br />In five years, I've received more than a boot camp education regarding the astonishing lack of awareness of our American citizenry. This lack of awareness encompasses every region of the country, economic status, ethnic background, and level of education. My battles have included everything from a man not knowing how to spell the name of the town he was from, to another not recognizing the name of "Iowa" as being a state, to another who thought he had to apply for a foreign passport to fly to West Virginia. They are the enemy and they are everywhere. <br />In the history of the world there has never been as much communication and new things to learn as today. Yet, after asking a woman from New York what city she wanted to go to in Arizona, she asked "Oh...is it a big place?" <br />I talked to a woman in Denver who had never heard of Cincinnati, a man in Minneapolis who didn't know there was more than one city in the South ("wherever the South is"), a woman in Nashville who asked, "Instead of paying for my ticket, can I just donate the money to the National Cancer Society?", and a man in Dallas who tried to pay for his ticket by sticking quarters in the pay phone he was calling from. <br />I knew a full invasion was on the way when, shortly after signing on, a man asked if we flew to exit 35 on the New Jersey Turnpike. Then a woman asked if we flew to area code 304. And I knew I had been shipped off to the front when I was asked, "When an airplane comes in, does that mean it's arriving or departing?" I remembered the strict training we had received -- four weeks of regimented classes on airline codes, computer technology, and telephone behavior -- and it allowed for no means of retaliation. "Troops," we were told, "it's real hell out there and ya got no defense. You're going to hear things so silly you can't even make 'em up. You'll try to explain things to your friends that you don't even believe yourself, and just when you think you've heard it all, someone will ask if they can get a free round-trip ticket to Europe by reciting 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'." <br />Well, Sarge was right. It wasn't long before I suffered a direct hit from a woman who wanted to fly to Hippopotamus, NY. After assuring her that there was no such city, she became irate and said it was a big city with a big airport. I asked if Hippopotamus was near Albany or Syracuse. It wasn't. Then I asked if it was near Buffalo. "Buffalo!" she said. "I knew it was a big animal!" <br />Then I crawled out of my bunker long enough to be confronted by a man who tried to catch our flight in Maconga. I told him I'd never heard of Maconga and we certainly didn't fly to it. But he insisted we did and to prove it he showed me his ticket: Macon, GA. <br />I've done nothing during my conversational confrontations to indicate that I couldn't understand English. But after quoting the round-trip fare the passenger just asked for, he'll always ask: "...Is that one-way?" I never understood why they always question if what I just gave them is what they just asked for. Then I realized it was part of the hell Sarge told us about. <br />But I've survived to direct the lost, correct the wrong, comfort the weary, teachU.S.geography and give tutoring in the spelling and pronunciation of American cities. I have been told things like: "I can't go stand-by for your flight because I'm in a wheelchair." I've been asked such questions as: "I have a connecting flight to Knoxville. Does that mean the plane sticks to something?" And once a man wanted to go to Illinois. When I asked what city he wanted to go to in Illinois, he said, "Cleveland, Ohio." <br />After 130,000 little wars of varying degrees, I'm a wise old veteran of the communicating conflict and can anticipate with accuracy what the next move by "them" will be. Seventy-five percent won't have anything to write on. Half will not have thought about when they're returning. A third won't know where they're going; 10 percent won't care where they're going. A few won't care if they get back. And James will be the first name of half the men who call. <br />But even if James doesn't care if he gets to the city he never heard of; even if he thinks he has to change clothes on our plane that may stick to something; even if he can't spell, pronounce, or remember what city he's returning to, he'll get there because I've worked very hard to make sure that he can. Then with a click of the phone, he'll become a part of my past and I'll be hoping the next caller at least knows what day it is. <br />Oh, and James..."Thanks for calling and have a nice day." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Circle Flies </strong><br />A Republican cowboy from Texas attends a social function where <br />Hillary Clinton is attending, and trying gather more support for her <br />nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts <br />to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable <br />words.<br />As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were <br />buzzing around her head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem <br />with them circle flies?"<br />She stopped talking and said, "Well yes, if that's what they're <br />called. But I've never heard of circle flies."<br />"Well ma'am," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. <br />The y're called circle flies because they're almost always found <br />circling around the back end of a horse."<br />"Oh," Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment <br />later she stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"<br />"No, ma'am," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for <br />citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse's rear end."<br />"That's a good thing," she responds and begins rambling on once more.<br />After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard <br />to fool them flies though."<br />~~~<br />May you be blessed with the knowledge of making your food your medicine, of staying healthy despite all of the dangers out there and be able to enjoy that health for many years to come.<br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1) http://straightfromthegarden.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SFTG&Category_Code=N<br />(2) ibid<br />(3) http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=77<br />(4) http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=77<strong></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

Moss, Ph.D. - "Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer. We know that conventional therapy doesn't work--if it did, you would not fear cancer any more than you fear pneumonia. It is the utter lack of certainty as to the outcome of conventional treatment that virtually screams for more freedom of choice in the area of cancer therapy. Yet most alternative therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because there's no other choice." <br />Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D - "Of the women in menopause today, about half start synthetic hormone replacement, but only half of those stick with it because of the side effects or fear of cancer risk. The threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT"<br /></blockquote><br /><br />It's not a foregone conclusion that one will die of cancer, but for sure the conventional methods will make life miserable. <br /><br />First the radiation and pressure of the testing, the false positive results and anxiety involved make for much more danger for women who have or might have breast cancer.<br /><br />Some say these are the prevention methods:Folic acid, coenzyme Q, coenzyme Q10, calcium D-glucarate, beta-carotene, fish oils, yogurt, vitamin A, fruits, vegetables, soy products, phyto-estrogens, antioxidants, folates, selenium, mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, salads,Organic foods, Exercise, no smoking, moderate alcohol use (consensus on amount varies), Stop wearing bras,Ductal lavage, Removal of ovaries, Prophylactic mastectomy. I would add strictly limit or best eliminate all sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup, in your diet because sugar feeds cancer,<br /><br />In my humble opinion giving money to drug companies means adding to after-the-fact pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and other maiming measures and not helping people prevent or cure breast cancer. If the researchers do come across a real cure do you really think they will endanger their livelihoods by releasing it? Especially if the cure is to live a life filled with fresh air, sunshine [unimpeded by chemical skin cover] eat fresh local raw vegetables, to drink pure water, to have your children naturally and breast-feed.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the<br /> best..<br /> She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms.<br /> However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.<br /> <br /> She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the<br /> difficult times.<br />The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him.<br /> One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was<br /> short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.'<br /> Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying,<br /> will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No way!', replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife<br /> right into her heart.<br /> <br /> The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to<br /> marry someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold.<br /> <br /> She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.' His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.<br /> Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go' The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!'<br /> <br /> In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives:<br /> Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.<br /> Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.<br /> Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.<br /> And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.<br />~~~<br />A man spoke frantically into the phone, <br />"My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!". <br />"Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. <br />"No!", the man shouted, "This is her husband!". <br />~~~~<br />A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. <br />In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the lowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. <br />In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers. <br />~~~<br />AT&T FIRED President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. <br />He received a $26 million dollar severance package. <br />Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence. <br />~~~<br />Saw a billboard that said,<br /> "Need help?

He proceeded to rant<br />and rave about what would happen if she let the crabs thaw out.<br />Shortly before landing in New York, she announced over the intercom<br />to the entire cabin,<br /> "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in<br />New Orleans, please raise your hand?"<br />Not one hand went up so she took them home and ate them herself.<br />Men never learn .<br /> ~~~<br />One dark night in the small town of Garfield, NJ, a fire started inside the local sausage factory. In a blink the building was engulfed in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. <br />When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me." <br />But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department that could save them. <br />Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Lodi , NJ volunteer fire department composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65. <br />To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the Lodi old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes. <br />The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian firefighters. <br />A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The 'on camera' reporter asked the Italian fire chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?" <br />"Wella," said Chief Pasquale De Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-old fire chief, "de fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa de brakes on dat blinkinga truck!!"<br />~~~<br />On the first day of school, the Kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers." <br />A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?" <br />~~~<br />May you all be blessed with disease-free lives, may your lives be filed with life, love and laughter.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1)http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/breastcancer.htm http://www.vermontwoman.com/articles/0204/tangled-in-pink.shtml<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.

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.<br />The FDA has given Zeolite a G.R.A.S. rating meaning it is generally recognized as safe.<br /> <br />(1)<blockquote>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. </blockquote><br /> <br />(2)<blockquote>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.</blockquote><br /> <br /><br />A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group <br />identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord blood, <br />including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and <br />nervous system. De-toxing is essential.<br /> <br /><img width=120 height=120 src='http://www.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/stilbite.gif'><img width=120 height=120 src='http://www.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/natrolit.gif'><img width=120 height=120 src='http://www.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/heulandi.gif'><br /> <br />1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for <br />cancer. In one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal <br />cancer (all types) are now in complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink <br />Pharmaceuticals, 2005).<br /> <br />2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly <br />lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and <br />other toxins from the body. These toxins are strongly correlated with the <br />occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers and neurological <br />disorders such as Alzheimer's, autism, and dementia. <br /> <br />3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination <br />of pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens. <br /> <br />4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent <br />anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases <br />of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case <br />studies suggest that it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple <br />sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu. <br /> <br />5. Zeolite's binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when <br />tons of it was used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before <br />they contaminated local water systems. <br /> <br />6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an <br />optimal pH level (between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy <br />brain function and a strong immune system. <br /> <br />7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers. <br />Zeolite was added to the <br />protocol for the 10-day detoxification program for prospective mothers. In <br />two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue <br />dropped significantly - from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two - <br />over the course of seven days. Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of <br />use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to use even during pregnancy and <br />breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been proven in <br />double-blind studies. <br /> <br />8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, <br />clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of <br />eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research, by <br />increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that zeolite also helps <br />relieve depression. <br /> <br />9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune <br />function, and general health. <br /> <br />10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found <br />in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another <br />positive effect on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is <br />relief of acid reflux.<br /> <br />11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which <br />cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of <br />these symptoms. <br /> <br />12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical <br />activity and damage to the body.<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.vitabase.com/r-2697822544/search.aspx?search=zeolites&page=1/default.aspx">NATURAL CELLULAR DEFENSE</a> <img src='http://www.vitabase.com/images/supplements/small/NaturalCellularDefense.jpg'><br /> <br />So, does this sound good to you?

Again, the clerk doesn't answer him. <br />The guy asks several more times: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?" <br />And the clerk just seems to ignore him. Finally, the guy is angry and storms off. <br />The customer who was waiting in line behind the guy asks the clerk, "Why wouldn't you answer that guy's question?" <br />The clerk answers, "D-d-d-do you th-th-th-think I w-w-w-want to get b-b-b-beat up?!!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>The Good of a Bad Relationship </strong><br />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." <br />"Why don't you just leave him then?" asked her friend. <br />"Oh! Not yet." the first replied, "I'd like to lose at least another fifteen pounds first!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Big Sale Day </strong><br />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. <br />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... <br />"That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Sales Competition</strong> <br />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'. <br />He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading 'Lowest Prices'. <br />The shopkeeper was panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own shop - it read...

He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?" <br />The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion! <br />Later, the lion confronts an ox and fiercely bellows, "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?" <br />The terrified ox stammers, "Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!" <br />On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?" <br />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. <br />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!" <br />~~~<br /><strong>Fishcakes </strong><br />A man walks into a fish and chip shop with a fish under his arm. <br />"Do you have any fishcakes?" he asks. <br />"Yes, of course," says the fish shop owner. <br />"Great," replies the man, nodding at the fish under his arm, "It's his birthday." <br />~~~<br /><strong>Male assertiveness</strong> <br />A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife so he went to a psychiatrist. <br />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. <br />He had finished the book by the time he reached his house. <br />The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. <br />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?" <br />"The funeral director," said his wife. <br />~~~<br /><strong>Meeting the Big Guy </strong><br />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. <br />As the Big Guy made his way slowly down the line, he walked right past the American, hardly even noticing him. <br />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. <br />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. <br />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.. <br />"I thought I told you yesterday to get out of here?!"<br />~~~<br /><strong>resolutions down thru' the years</strong><br />2004: I will get my weight down below 170. <br />2005: I will watch my calories until my weight is below 200. <br />2006: I will follow my new diet until I get below 220. <br />2007: I will work out once a week. <br />2008: I will drive past a gym at least once a week.<br /> <br />2004: I will read at least 20 good books a year. <br />2005: I will read at least 10 books a year. <br />2006: I will read 5 books a year. <br />2007: I will read some articles in the newspaper this year. <br />2008: I will subscribe to a good humor e-mail list this year.<br /> <br />2004: I will pay off my bank loan promptly. <br />2005: I will pay off my bank loans promptly. <br />2006: I will be totally out of debt by next year. <br />2007: I will try to pay off the debt interest by next year. <br />2008: I will try to be out of the country by next year.<br /> <br />2004: I will sponsor a disadvantaged foreign child this year. <br />2005: I will sponsor a disadvantaged domestic child this year. <br />2006: I will sponsor one kid for lunch at McDonald's this year. <br />2007: I will sponsor one of my kids for lunch at McDonald's this year. <br />2008: I will endeavor to remember my children's names this year.<br />~~~<br />I bless you all today to be free of any contaminants, to be filled with energy and youthful exuberance, and your mouth be filled with mirth.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SOURCES<br />(1) http://www.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/zeolites.htm<br />(2) http://www.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/heulandi/heulandi.htm<br />http://www.zeoliteinfo.com/home.html<br />http://www.liquidzeolite.org/<br />http://www.mywaiora.com/339045<div class="blogger-post-footer">write to me at Webriter@verizon.net or use the comment or chat features.
