**************HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY HEART************
(1)

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It is also one of the main causes of death in Canada and is killing more and more people throughout the world.
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:
Salmon
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
Olive oil 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.
Oats 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
Apples 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.
Almonds 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
Red wine 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
Whole grains 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.
Green leafy vegetables 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.
Tomatoes 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.
Soy 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.

Research shows that the curry spice turmeric can help prevent heart failure and repair damaged hearts.
Although the tests were carried out in mice, scientists are hopeful the findings could apply to humans.
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.
Although there are drugs that can control the condition, there is no way of repairing the scarring and damage suffered by heart muscles.

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 Soy-health or hazard 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 Phyto power

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 Cholesterol, not the bad thing we think it is 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.

An extremely important factor in heart health is EFA'a.

Fatty Acid Therapy: Your Heart Could Hang In The Balance
n-3 Fats May Modulate The Key Risk Markers Cholesterol and Insulin
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?
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.

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.

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.

As for me, I'm taking CellPower™ because for one thing it does have lots of digestive enzymes in it, also it helps to balance the pH levels and is antibiotic, anti-viral-and anti-fungal AND IT PACKS THE CELLS WITH LIFE-GIVING OXYGEN, AND ENERGY.
And:SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
I also eat, one of the best fats for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight.

That Darned Cat
A man absolutely hated his wife's cat and decided to get rid of him one day by driving him 20 blocks from his home and leaving him at the park. As he was getting home, the cat was walking up the driveway.
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!
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.
Hours later the man calls home to his wife: "Jen, is the cat there?"

Frustrated, the man answered, "Put that darned cat on the phone. I'm lost and need directions!"

In ancient Greece, Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day the

said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to
pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three."
"Three?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my
student, let's take a moment to test what you're going to say.
The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are
about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.
Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about
to tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even
Though you're not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.
Socrates continued. "You may still pass though, because there is a Third
test -- the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my
student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor
Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and left, ashamed.

DIABETES AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

********DIABETES AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE **********
Premise: Antioxidants/exercise are essential for diabetics who have cardiovascular disease.
(1)

Atherosclerosis starts with the deposition of low-density lipoproteins (LDL or “bad cholesterol”) in blood vessel walls. However, LDL deposits by themselves do not cause atherosclerosis. LDL lipids have to be oxidatively damaged before cardiovascular disease (CVD) develops.

Given the role of oxidative damage in the development of CVD, antioxidant therapy seemed the obvious thing to try. It was therefore surprising that several large-scale clinical trials of patients with cardiovascular disease failed to show any benefit from antioxidant supplementation. There were indications, however, that a subset of patients in these trials might have derived a benefit from taking antioxidants. These patients had two things in common, namely diabetes and a particular form of the haptoglobin protein.

This world we live in where we eat polluted foods, drink polluted water, breathe polluted air and as stressed as we are free radicals and toxins are not theoretical. For Diabetics, these stressors are even more of a factor. The Liver/pancreas combination needed to keep disease at bay is already compromised. Many other stresses, are magnified in Diabetics as well because for instance lack of sleep [with which diabetics have difficulty], increases weight issues and low energy levels resultant contribute to lack of energy=less exercise, more weight, and so it goes. The over-worked Liver can't cope with its toxin-load and that is another addition to stress.

to wit:
Cortisol stress hormone when released has been shown to cause weight gain just from being under stress, especially in the mid-section. Leptin-the protein hormone is the full button; tells your body you do not need more food, and is released more efficiently when we are rested. The Ghrelin petide hormone; the one that increases appetite, is released when you are not rested.

So what can we do? First exercise is great, add a few leglifts when you are just standing around, do the belly/butt tucks, take the stairs, go to the store on your bike on occasion. Just keep moving around, exercise doesn't have to be all at once or the same kinds of things.

Take Antioxidants, this will help flush the pollutants/free radicals/toxins away. Just a quick refresher, the antioxidants create a chemical bond with the free rads and pull them out in the waste. If you aren't eating an optimal diet then Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many diabetic complications.


Of course eating a great diet of lo-[bad]carbs, fresh raw veggies, and healthy free range meats is the very best way to heal...To replace all the low mineral foods we seem to have because of our depleted soils and poor farming practices~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.

~coconut oil



And of course the acid destroying CellPower™that helps control cravings, adds enzymes and fights diseases and fungi.

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

A parish priest was being honored at a dinner on the 25th anniversary of his arrival in that parish. A leading local politician, who was a member of the congregation, was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner, but he was delayed in traffic; so the priest decided to say his own few words as they waited.
" You will understand ," he said" the seal of the confessional can never be broken, however I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I can only hint vaguely about this, but when I came here 25 years ago I thought I had been assigned to the most terrible place. The very first chap who entered my confessional told me how he had stolen a television set, and when stopped by the police had almost murdered the officer! Father, he told me he had embezzled money from his place of business and had an affair with the boss's wife. I was appalled! But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that, and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of understanding and loving people."
Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began the presentation and give his talk.
"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived at the parish." said the politician, "In fact, I had the honor of being the first one to go to him in confession."

DIABETES PRIMER; WHAT HELPS.

(1)

Type 2
In type 2 diabetes, the body produces its own insulin, but the cells are unable to respond to it properly. This form of diabetes is associated with obesity and in some cases pregnancy. It usually affects people aged 40 and over. It is often possible for those with Type 2 to avoid taking drugs and to regulate the condition with changes to their diet.

This approach in most cases is more effective and more pleasant. But always consult with your health practitioner.

Diabetes can cause narrowing of the small blood vessels throughout the body. The higher the blood sugar levels, the more the small blood vessels narrow. Resulting in the vessels carrying less blood and circulation is impaired. Poor circulation can lead to a number of complications connected to diabetes: eye, foot and kidney problems.

There are number of foods and herbs that can assist in controlling the blood sugar levels.
Goldenseal will bring elevated blood sugar levels plunging down and step up the production of insulin in the pancreas. For type 2 diabetics this is great news, but for hypoglycaemics it is something to watch very carefully. Goldenseal should help but not cure diabetes. A tincture extract can be taken approximately 15 drops, two or three times daily.

Scientific studies have shown that onions reduce blood sugar levels for longer periods than insulin, but more slowly. Ensure you have plenty in your diet. Onions are best eaten raw as cooking partially destroys its active compounds, which are contained in a highly volatile oil. Like onions,Garlic has a significant ability to control blood sugar levels. Garlic has a strong odour so take as a tincture or other supplement. Either way try to ensure your diet is rich in garlic.

Fenugreek contains six compounds that help regulate blood sugar levels. Modern research shows that fenugreek seeds not only lower blood glucose but reduce insulin levels, total cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing HDL (the good cholesterol).

Olive Leaf acts as a hypotensive (lowers the blood sugar levels) and dilates the walls of blood vessels. Thereby increasing blood flow and circulation through the body and to vital organs. It has no side effects even when taken over a long period, so it is good for diabetics.

Cayenne Pepper is a wonderful herb to stimulate circulation. When your blood is circulating more efficiently you don't need as much of the chemicals that your body produces. A little will go a long way.

A retired plant scientist and a former Smithsonian botanist, James A. Duke and Edward S.Ayensu believe that Korean Ginsengis a remedy for a wide variety of disease or ills. In their two-volume reference work Medicinal Plants of China (1:123) they report that among other aliments ginseng is good for diabetes.

Cinnamon is great for lowering blood sugar, but it needs to be taken in larger doses than our palate generally enjoys so it's best to take in Supplement form.

WHERE I WAS, WHERE I AM, WHAT HELPS

I have a friend from when I lived close to Seattle, who is just barely a year older than I am and the last I heard she is in the hospital and she's giving up the fight.
Just last year I felt that sick, I was diabetic, and all my systems were getting compromised one after another, I was so fat there were a lot of things I needed help doing like tying my shoes and some other even more embarrassing help. I hurt so bad and felt so awful all the time, my blood sugar levels were way outta control I could barely sleep and I had no energy. I ate like the oinker I resembled. After working hard to lose weight and get fitter I've lowered my blood sugar levels to rock bottom. I'm in control of my eating, exercising, I no longer live to eat but eat to live.

My diet currently is not that exciting but it is mostly adequate, I still get hungry, to keep my weight down and hopefully lose more? But the truly exciting thing is I'm feeling so much better, I'm busily making clothes and taking in or giving away all the horribly huge things I have in my closet, See as I was so fat I quit caring what I looked like and I chose my clothing, not for style, but simply if they were big enough to hide at least some of the rolls. I can tie my shoes pretty easily now, and my feet aren't nearly as swollen, I have energy and more importantly I have my ambition back, To explain... I not only have the ability to get things done, but have the 'want to' also.

A great side effect of getting well and having a future again is that I'm just happy,
for me this is really something because a big part of my problem is that I've always struggled with deep depression. I was bi-polar also so I know the difference between the euphoria of the high part of the disease and just happy. God delivered me from the bi-polar part.

I started taking CellPower™
, and my weight loss and better eating doctors got a hold of me.

Some of the things I've learned while doing this journal:

~Cinnamon really lowers the blood sugar, but you need to take a lot of it
~taking liver cleanses really help the diabetic person get control of blood glucose
~Glutathione-the master antioxidant is a great helper to counteract many diabetic complications.
~4 essential minerals for diabetics
~SELENIUMhelps immune system,fights infection and aids circulation
~MAGNESIUMhelps to relax you, aids stress and muscle relaxing
~CHROMIUMimproves insulin sensitivity, and helps lower blood sugar.
~ZINC especially to help you heal.
~coconut oil


for the Omega-3~6 balance and losing weight
~Essential fatty acidsfor better health
~FLAX SEED OIL

I've also learned not to eat ANY MSG it puts weight on, seriously! Or any /high Fructose Corn syrup, it also makes the extra poundage gather at the waist.

Mostly though the CellPower™ has given me the power boost towards great health. It properly adjusts the body pH, fights viruses,bacteria, and fungi,helps lower blood pressure, adds enzymes to the body lost from cooking foods. It can help with:Allergies pH imbalances Emphysema Indigestion Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Kidney infections Chronic fatigue syndrome Skin disorders Bronchial asthma Arthritis and joint pain Short-term memory loss Fibromyalgia Viral, fungal, and bacterial infections Muscle pain Candidiasis, and for me it HAS!

Junior high school students in Chicago were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At
the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven
Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the
most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyonin Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The EmpireState Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch...
2. to taste...
3. to see...
4. to hear... (She hesitated a little, and then added...)
5. to feel...
6. to laugh...
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.

May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don't have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Have a Grrreat day!

DISADVANTAGES OF SUMMER

I haven't slept well for several days, The heat and humpaditty[sic] has been terrible, more than our nominal air conditioners can handle. We bought air conditioners that would deal with normal summer heat but every year it gets 'abnormally' warm. My blood glucose levels go up when I'm stressed by sleeplessness. Also we were rear ended a few weeks ago and my back is still a bit tight from that. Add to that the drafts from the fan in our bedroom and I get up sore and uncomfortable.

Fortunately the CellPower™
I'm taking has really helped my heart and blood pressure so they aren't a problem,. When one wakes frequently for no reason, the culprit can be the heart's distress in the night. Sleeplessness results because it's hard to get back to sleep. I no longer have those problems, and if I didn't have to battle the high heat and moisture in our home at night I'd sleep quite well. I go to bed early these days; I used to stay up until 2-3am because I dreaded the nightly torture of lying in bed and not being able to sleep, and I'd sleep in until 10am or later, making for short miserable days I'd just endure, no living then it was just an existence. If you think I'm exaggerating, well I am, but in the opposite direction you'd think. It was really the most awful kind of life, I was just waiting to die.

Losing weight and exercising [and I confess there's not as much of that as you'd think] has really changed my life and the CellPower™ has really topped off my efforts by helping me tackle the peripheral problems of IBS and Candidiasis also those pesky and multi-origin allergies that kept me from breathing, made me itch so bad I'd cause bleeding in my skin in my sleep, and then there was the itchy watery eyes that made it so hard to see or keep any eye liner on.


Here's one more thing I've not mentioned yet that CellPower™ has helped me with. I had lesions on my nose, tiny red marks with a scaly edge that nothing would touch, I tried everything in my arsenal, zinc oxide, Hydrogen peroxide and a few secret nostrums, nothing helped, Months went by and I was just sure I had one of the skin cancers mom warned me about in my foolish youth when long before sunscreen was invented I allowed myself to burn like toast in the sun. I mix the CellPower™ in 1 drop to 10 drops of distilled water, I use highly filtered water, and every day I applied that to my nose and around my mouth where I get little cold sores from other allergies, and sweat. I also had a small patch of dry scaly skin on my temple that Of Course I've picked at over the years. All those things have just disappeared, no more scaly patches, no more rashes around my mouth, no more lesions on my nose, Hooray!

~~~[digression]~~~
I'd like to explain something here about why we should use distilled water or filtered water or juice to mix the CellPower™in. It is highly antibiotic, anti-fungal-and anti-viral, and we want all that good healing power in us not cleaning up our water. I always use the last mouthful of CellPower™ as I drink it to hold in my mouth to clean up any bacteria that might mess with my teeth or gums. I am getting a much cleaner, healthier mouth that way. The CellPower™ begins it's work the very minute you start to drink it, it is absorbed into the mucus membranes as soon as it gets in the mouth.

The very best way to get full benefit from the CellPower™, is to shake the bottle very well, then squeeze out 10 drops of it into an empty glass, add 8 oz. of clean water to it and drink it, do this three times per day for the first month, after that you can adjust the dosage to 15 drops three times a day. The taste is like lemon juice in water.

Someone asked why I recommend distilled water to help adjust the pH to alkaline. Not all alkalizing foods are alkaline in nature, for instance Lemons are a very alkalizing food and are intrinsically acid in themselves. CellPower™ is the same way, it helps the body alkalize without being alkaline, but it packs a powerful punch in addition.

~~~[/digression]~~~

OK back to summer and hot weather, Of course we do have cellpower buyers in Australia and New Zealand who are still in the throes of what we call winter, but spring is coming for them too, and hot weather follows.

Anything that causes stress will raise the blood glucose levels, so a bit of a rise in the readings are no cause for alarm.

I read somewhere that a diabetic can more easily assimilate a sweet[or hi-carb] in the pm, but I've found that it's best for my glucose levels to eat any sweet, like fruits at breakfast, then when I'm busy working all morning [my busiest time] I can work it all off and my evening reading proves that out. I have found that eating the wrong foods has a cumulative effect, I can cheat once even twice, but any more will cause my glucose levels to rise and stay up. I'm still not out of the 'normal' or 'controlled' levels, just a bit higher. An adjustment in the mental part of the diet is needed as well as the food part. Heh heh.

ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF SUMMER

Today I went on a shopping trip with some friends from Church. I asked my lady-friend to go with me to check out the thrift stores but she decided she just couldn't leave her hubby at home so he drove us. I bought bags full of clothes! Some I can wear now, some will be altered to make something else. We just had to stop by a roadside stand and get some lovely fresh veggies. I think part of the CellPower™ miracle is that I'm craving fruits and veggies, not normal for me. I bought tomatoes, Anaheim peppers, Jalapeno peppers, green peppers, an eggplant and zucchinis! I could hardly wait to get home and have some.

~~~~recipe~~~

OK this is how I do it you eat it anyway you like.

I slice up the zucchinis and eggplant,
and also two Jalapenos,
a green pepper,
1/2 an onion and 2 crushed/diced cloves of garlic,
and an Anaheim pepper, I melt some coconut oil
about a tablespoon in a pan put a lid on it and heat over "low' heat. I don't call this frying, but I really do best on cooked veggies, this softens and warms them, steaming gently. I add some of my own spice mix because I refuse to use prepared mixes since I found MSG in my lemon pepper!!!!!!!!; below see my mix recipe.
Anyway I made a small hamburger patty to go with my lovely [tasty] veggies, it was delicious! I added my spice mix that I call Katy's Essence [it's based on Emeril's Essence mix, but I added more heat for great barbecue rubs!]

~~~Katy's essence~~~
I've sent this out to friends all over the US because when I make it every year I make a lot!

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.

2 1/2 parts of paprika [I love paprika anyway]
2 parts salt[I use sea salt or kosher salt]
2 parts garlic powder
1 part black pepper
1 part onion powder
1 part Cajun seasoning
1 part Italian herbs
1 part crushed red pepper
1 part chili powder
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.

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 then so I'll always have bottles to keep it in.

I use this especially for the grill Very Liberally covering all the meat [chicken]. It tastes so good. It's really not that hot, but you can use 1/2 part chili powder instead for a milder spice mix.

~~~
I don't really know why I put recipes in this I doubt anyone ever uses them. Too bad, I found while reversing diabetes that I got so bored with my diet that I was dying, [yes, dying] for something that tasted good, I'll never ever eat another donut or any ice cream,red meat is out for me [I just cant digest it] and all the treats /I used to love are just not happenin' again. First I've become pretty particular about the additives on finds routinely in our 'food' supply. I won't eat Genetically modified foods or sprayed foods [I wash if I don't know] something else that CellPower™ is good for. It really cleans the veggies, and I won't eat microwaved foods, processed foods were already out... It doesn't leave much. Sigh, Heavy Sigh.

For breakfast I added blueberries and real, plain yogurt, [ewe, it's really awful] my own strawberries and some pomegranate juice*, and some cherries [for the pain from getting rear-ended a few weeks ago]. I don't eat oatmeal for the taste but to reduce my cholesterol, and my blood pressure and *by the way pomegranate juice helps with that. My oatmeal isn't tasty but I get added fiber from it.

I lost lost of my ability to taste subtle flavors five years ago, I lost my ability to smell, no my sense of smell[I probably get really whiff after gardening!] just two years ago, and would love to get back the original one, now nothing smells really good. I can smell food cooking, sort of but all fragrances are nasty! All I smell is a strong chemical smell that is far from pleasant. I did get a treat the other day and got a sniff of someone Else's perfume at church and it smelled good, but not on me. All my clothes, my hair and bath soaps smell exactly the same, icky. I have absolutely no clue why this is and I've done some research on the subject. It started when I had the flu the second time in a few months [each session lasted many weeks], and I said just as I was recovering the second time, well at least I never lost my sense of smell this time, and the next day it was gone, and only a few smells have returned.

STATUS
My weight is staying the same, my blood glucose is also. in the one-teens [from 111-119 or lower]. I'm taking 10 units of insulin twice a day and seem to be doing better all the time.

I'm still taking CellPower™

1) Go to a second-hand store, buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots
2) Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine

3) Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine

4) Leave a note on your door that reads:

Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim,


I went for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't

A man goes skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seems like days, he is ready to go. Excited, he jumps out of the airplane. After a bit, he pulls the ripcord. Nothing happens. He tries again. Still nothing.

He starts to panic, but remembers his back-up chute. He pulls that cord. Nothing happens. He frantically begins pulling both cords, but to no avail. Suddenly, he looks down and he can't believe his eyes. Another man is in the air with him, but this guy is going up! Just as the other guy passes by, the skydiver -- by this time scared out of his wits--yells, "Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?" The other guy yells back, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"

REVERSING DIABETES- PAIN from sugar

They, you know the ubiquitous 'them', as in us and them, say that Diabetes is irreversible. But many many people have done it, their blood glucose levels stay normal Day after day, even right after meals, they are not starving, but eat a normal diet. So what do you call that? If that's not a cure I don't know what is....

I am planning to be one of the people who are no longer anticipating the degenerative effects of diabetes. I'm getting healthier. I could tell you but you probably wouldn't believe me, Ok I will... I think the biggest boost I've had is in my mood. I'm just happy, I can't tell you how that happened but it has, I've fought a predisposition for depression all my life, being suicidal for nearly 45 years straight...This JOY is a recent development, It's been within the last four weeks. I have been taking CellPower™ for a few months now, the first thing I noticed; and it was right away, was that I had lots more energy and I was sleeping better. Then, as I saw my pH beginning to normalize I was seeing my blood glucose levels leveling out more, my weight is still going down, and I'm finding I'm in so much less pain. Then inexplicably, possibly it's from the relief I feel from getting healthier, I can't stop smiling.


NERVE DAMAGE IN DIABETES called diabetic neuropathy?

(1)

The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:

-numbness and loss of feeling (usually first in the feet or hands)
-slower reflexes
-pain varying from minor discomfort or tingling sensations in fingers and toes to -severe pain; pain may be sharp or lightning like, deep aches that make sleep or daily activities difficult, or sensitive skin that responds to the slightest touch
-weak muscles.

(2)

What is Diabetic Nerve Pain?
Diabetic nerve pain is a problem that some people with diabetes have. This condition is also called painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral (per-IF-er-al) refers to the parts of the body that are farthest away from the center of your body like your arms, legs, fingers and toes
Neuropathy (Nur-AH-pa-thee) means damage to the nerves
Diabetic nerve pain occurs most often when people have blood sugar levels that are too high for too long. These high blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage in many parts of the body, including:feet and legs~hands and arms

I have/had all those symptoms, I still get stabbing pains in my toes, but all in all~ those symptoms have receded, I only get the stabbing pains when I eat sugar, not from fruit sugars either just from white sugar in candies and cookies I find so hard to resist. So I'm going out on a limb here and say, if you have diabetic neuropathy try staying completely away from white sugar. I knew a man years ago who said he had to eliminate sugar from his diet because it caused him pain. And He wasn't Diabetic.

(3)

Mood affects pain. It does not seem as severe if we remain calm and avoid becoming anxious or depressed. Many techniques taught at childbirth classes are based on this approach of facing pain with calmness.

The higher your blood sugar is the less able your are to tolerate pain, according to research at the University of Minnesota College of Medicine, published in the American Journal of Medicine 77:79. Since DIABETICS must be vigilant to keep their blood-sugar levels low, this is an especially important discovery for them. Generally, diabetics were found to have a lower tolerance for pain than non-diabetics.

(4)

People who are sugar-sensitive have naturally low levels of serotonin. As a result, they do not have good impulse control. It is almost impossible for them to "just say no" because there is such a short time between their getting the urge to do something and their doing it. This is why no matter how many times you vow to stick with a diet, you are not able to. The insufficient serotonin level in your brain isn't giving you the time you need to make good decisions.

Besides being impulsive, people with low levels of serotonin may feel depressed and find themselves craving foods such as bread, pasta or candy. This craving is the work of your brain, not your ego, because your brain knows that getting you to eat such foods -- which are all simple carbohydrates -- will temporarily raise your serotonin level. Unfortunately, it will also have a devastating boomerang effect and cause all sorts of negative feelings. Having low serotonin can cause these feelings:

-Feeling depressed
-Acting impulsively
-Feeling blocked and scattered
-Having a short attention span
-Feeling suicidal
-Craving sweets and simple carbohydrates

So maybe eating sugar was my problem the depression, the pain, the impulsiveness, feeling blocked and scattered, I am much more focused now, I can remember to do things even if I stop to do something else first, It just has to be that the CellPower™
has helped to raise my seratonin levels, and I no longer crave sweets as much, and the above symptoms are so much lessened also. I just can't recommend this product highly enough. I also place in my prayers each day all the folks who are taking it so that they'll find it helps them as much as it is helping me! I want to be a small part of helping our nation heal to fix our health care problem. I can't help with a broken arm or a head wound except that a healthy body heals so much faster!

THIS ONE IS BAAAD BUT FUNNY
This truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers stops for a beer. As he approaches the bar he sees a big sign on the door saying "Nerds Not Allowed - Enter At Your Own Risk!" He goes in and sits down. The bartender comes over to him, sniffs, says, "You smell kind of nerdy. What do you do for a living?" The truck driver says, "I drive a truck, and the smell is just from the computers I am hauling." The bartender says, "Okay, truck drivers are not nerds." and serves him a beer. As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape around his glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a belt at least a foot too long. The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and blows the guy away. The truck driver said, totally shocked, "Why did you do that?" The bartender said, "Not to worry, the nerds are overpopulating Silicon Valley and are in season now. You don't even need a license." The truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads back onto the freeway. Suddenly he veers to avoid an accident, and the load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over the freeway. He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing up the computers. They are all engineers, accountants and programmers wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them steal his whole load. So, remembering what happened in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting away, felling several of them instantly. A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car screaming at him to stop. The truck driver said, "What's wrong? I thought nerds were in season." "Well, sure," said the patrolman. "But you can't bait 'em."

A man was driving along the highway, and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit jumped in front of the car and was hit. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to he car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit. Miraculously, the rabbit came to life, jumped up, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped down the road. 50 meters away the rabbit stopped, turned around, waved at the two again, hopped down the road another 50 meters, turned, waved, and hopped another 50 meters. The man was astonished. He couldn't figure out what substance could be in the woman's spray can! He ran over to the woman and demanded, " What was in your spray can? What did you spray onto that rabbit?" The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: " 'Hare Spray' Restores Life to Dead Hare. Adds Permanent Wave."
