Tell Your Congressmen and Women to Co Sponsor the Health Freedom Protection Act, H.R. 2117- Ron Paul

The FDA is on a rampage against dietary supplements. Preventing reasonable and factual health claims, the FDA is using its immense power to fuel the pharmaceutical profit picture at the expense of the lives and health of hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. The rights of Americans to learn about natural products through truthful, science-based health claims is routinely stifled to the detriment of health and health freedom in the United States.

memory loss due to high blood sugar
We all have times when our blood sugar jumps up. A meal with lots of refined carbs and a dessert can do it to the healthiest eaters. But chronically high blood sugar is extremely dangerous. Not only can it lead to diabetes; it can also cause you to lose your memory.
A recent four-year study of older women found that when their blood sugar was chronically high - even if they weren't diabetic - they had an increased risk for impaired memory. This could be due to either direct or indirect brain damage caused by high blood sugar. Or it could mean that there's an association between the enzyme that breaks down insulin and the development of Alzheimer's disease. There are a number of possibilities, all of which researchers are studying rigorously.

OMAHA, Neb.–ConAgra Foods Inc., the largest microwave popcorn maker in the United States, will change the recipe for its Orville Redenbacher and Act II brands over the next year to remove a flavouring chemical linked to a lung ailment in popcorn plant workers, the company said yesterday.
The announcement comes a day after a doctor at a leading lung research hospital warned in a letter to federal regulators that consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavouring in microwave popcorn.

Dangers of chlorine
If you are not convinced about the dangers of chlorine in your tap water, here's an extract from: Dr Z Rona MD MSc "Most people never give it a thought. After all, our elected public officials keep assuring us that chlorinated city tap water is completely safe for human consumption. Numerous scientific studies report that chlorinated tap water is a skin irritant and can be associated with rashes like eczema. Chlorinated water can destroy polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E in the body while generating toxins capable of free radical damage (oxidation). This might explain why supplementation of the diet with essential fatty acids like flax seed oil, evening primrose oil, borage oil and antioxidants like vitamin E, selenium and others helps so many cases of eczema and dry skin.

This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.

He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."

Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

A cab driver picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you".

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that. But first, you have to be single and you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

A daring vacationer in Vienna is walking through a graveyard on Halloween when all of a sudden she hears music. No one is around, so she starts looking to see where it’s coming from.

She finally locates the source and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads, “Ludwig van Beethoven.”

Then she realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward. Puzzled, she leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with her.

By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but it is also being played backward.

Curious, the ladies agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing and the expert concludes that the symphonies are in fact being played in reverse order.

By the next day the word spread and a huge group gathered around the grave to hear the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker approaches the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.

"Oh, it's nothing to to worry about" says the caretaker. "He's just decomposing!!"

reversing Diabetes

(1)

If you are pre-diabetic, that means you have reduced insulin sensitivity but haven't yet been diagnosed with full-blown adult onset type 2 diabetes. In most cases, you can directly reverse this condition and return to a healthy metabolic state by making new choices in your foods and physical exercise. Remember, diabetes is a disease that is quite easy to reverse if you catch it early enough. And if you're pre-diabetic, you have an opportunity to reverse the situation right now.
Reversing it means making some tough choices in your life. It means, first of all, getting out and engaging in physical exercise on a regular basis. That's 45 minutes a day of walking, or something more strenuous if you can handle it. If you can't walk 45 minutes a day, walk 30 minutes a day. If you can't walk 30 minutes a day, walk 5 minutes a day. If you can't walk 5 minutes a day, just get up out of your chair 3 times -- do something to increase your exercise stamina, and work towards walking 45 minutes a day. Everybody can do something. Sitting around doing nothing is no excuse, and it will directly lead you to full-blown diabetes. (Diabetics are really good at making excuses. I know, I used to be pre-diabetic. I would find every reason in the world to avoid physical exercise.)
The second thing people can do is give up all foods that promote diabetes. This means foods that contain ingredients like refined white sugar, sucrose, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, white flour, enriched flours, and so on. So that means getting rid of all ice cream, cakes, cookies, sweets, desserts, candy bars, etc. These foods are causing your diabetes. Now, you won't hear this from the American Diabetes Association, because that organization is, to put it bluntly, actually thriving on the skyrocketing trend of diabetes in the United States. I've never found the ADA to actually give beneficial nutritional advice that would help people reverse diabetes. Remember, they are funded in large part by pharmaceutical companies who would actually lose customers if people reversed their diabetic conditions. It's not a conspiracy: it's just plain old corporate greed."

I've found that eating large quantities of Cinnamon each morning in my oatmeal is very helpful.

Or I could take cinnamon caps

Cinnamon has been a big open secret for diabetes, it really puts the breaks on the blood glucose levels. I load up my morning oatmeal with it. I struggle with getting enough fibre so I eat oatmeal in the AM.

coconut oil

is great for cooking and for continued weight loss. I really notice the difference in my weight control when I'm out of it for a while.

The best healer and the one that has made the biggest change in my health isCellPower™ ; with it's cellular oxygenating power, the pH adjustment and bacterial/viral/fungal control has really CHANGED MY LIFE!

I've found eating whole raw foods really helps too. The enzymes we need are totally absent in our typically cooked foods. A good goal is to eat about 1/3 raw foods each day.

Also eating Alkalizing foods brings our bodies from an acidic [sick] condition to a healthy one.

Another thing we rarely ever talk about is our air supply, we know about pollution but did you know also that there is getting to be less and less oxygen in our air? We NEED lots of it for cell health [cells being the smallest parts of our body's health requirement.]

Things like Candidiasis are rampant among diabetics, fungal infections must be brought under control.

These are a few of the reasons why CellPower™ is so good for me; it has enzymes, fungus-killers, it is alkalizing, and the oxygen it pumps into each and every cell gives me boosts of strength and health. I'm just happy, for the first time in my nearly 60 years. I feel good and I am healing up from diabetes, candidiasis and Fibromyalgia, I think even the stroke damage is getting to be less pervasive. And due to CellPower™ I never get any infectious diseases, colds, flu [and I used to be sick for months at a time, folks]

My allergies are getting to be less prominant, I can be outside for hours and I can still see the next day!!!!! In fact I can get up in the morning and NOT feel like I've been chopping onions all night long! My eyes don't sting, I used to be blind for a while each morning due to stinging and THAT IS GONE.

I had completely lost my sense of smell but it's coming back and my sense of taste too.

Words can't convey how exciting it is to start getting well, And How Many problems I had that are just non-esistant now.

I'm just talking about myself here, Hey it's MY blog I can do that. I can hope all of you will get well too though. In fact even though I do sell CellPower™ and make a few bucks off the sale of each bottle of a month's supply of it; at $25.00 I only make just a few bucks, remember there are costs of buying the inventory, and I pay shipping pretty much all over the world, Mostly I want others to be getting well like I have.

In truth Even though I eat no processed foods, nor anything with MSG,few grains, nothing microwaved, no High Fructose Corn Syrup, no sugar [well a little in the form of dark chocolate candy, infrequently] only a bit of raw honey, very little carbs, NO Genetically modified foods, I'm not all that strict with myself, I do mostly eat chicken and vegetables. I'm no exercise fanatic, because I just don't have the time. I have 5 yahoo groups I take care of, two blogs, and a message group, I also write devotionals and working on couple of books, all sedentary activities. I still maintain my yard, however and build furniture when I think of something I want to build. I keep our tiny home clean when I feel like I want to, but I don't climb on some expensive piece of bulky machinery to force my muscles to do something they aren't used to doing, but I do want to buy a bicycle to go on the occasional foray into the countryside.

So that'a it for today, I wish you all the very best of hrealth and well-being:

A Cop pulled a car over for speeding.

When the Cop asked the driver why he was traveling 95mph, the driver answered that he was a juggler on his way to do a show for a birthday party and didn't want to be late.

The Cop told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket.

The driver told the Cop that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.

The Cop told him that he had some flares in the trunk of his patrol car, and asked if he could juggle them.

The juggler stated that he could, so the Cop got three flares, lit them and handed them to the juggler.

While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the patrol car.

The driver got out, watched the performance briefly, went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.

The Cop observed him doing this, and went over to the patrol car, opened the door and asked the driver what he thought he was doing.

The driver replied, "You might as well haul me to jail, cause there's NO way I’ll pass that test."

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.

One night a burglar is trying to break into a house. He's sneaking across the lawn when he hears a voice - "Jesus is watching you!" He jumps, turns around, but he doesn't see anything. So he starts creeping across the lawn again. "Jesus is watching you!" He hears it again. So now the burglar is really looking around, and he sees a parrot in a cage by the side of the house. He says to the parrot, "Did you say that?" The parrot answers "Yes I did." So the burglar asks, "What's your name?" The parrot says "Clarence." The burglar says "What kind of stupid idiot would name his parrot Clarence?" The parrot laughs and says, "The same stupid idiot that named his Rottweiler 'Jesus' "
