THINNING? NO, NOT HAIR- BLOOD.

I have a friend who is always freezing, she feels chilly no matter where she goes, why? She is taking blood thinners, cholesteral removers, and Diabetic meds all designed to thin her blood. But there's gotta be a better way,a safer way to control the blood sugar and allow our bodies to heal naturally.

~Calcium
Lack of calcium may contribute to high blood pressure.
~Magnesium
Lack of magnesium may contribute to high blood pressure.
~Garlic (Kyolic)
Helps reduce blood pressure.
~L-Carnitine plus
Moves long fatty acid chains. Works with L-glutamic acid and L-glutamine to protect against heart disease.
~Glutamic acid and L-glutamine
Removes toxins from ammonia. Helps protect against heart disease.
~Selenium
Lack of selenium may contribute to heart disease.
~Coenzyme Q10
Enhances function of heart. Reduces blood pressure.
~Essential fatty acids (black currant seed oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil, and primrose oil are recommended)
Improves circulation. Helps in reducing blood pressure.
~Vitamin C
Enhances adrenal function. Decreases tendency for blood to clot. But do take the one with rose Hips
~Lecithin granules
Helps emulsify fat. Enhances function of the liver. Reduces blood pressure.
~Lecithin capsules
Helps emulsify fat. Enhances function of the liver. Reduces blood pressure.
~Lipotropic factors

~Cayenne (capsicum, Chamomile, Fennel, Hawthorn Berries, Parsley, and Rosemary
These six herbs are all beneficial for treating high blood pressure. CAYENNE WILL HEAT UP YOUR BODY AS WELL
~Hops and Valerian root
These two herbs contain flavonoids that act as natural sedatives and stimulates the brain to produce endorphins, that calm the nerves.
~Suma Tea
Drinking 3 cups of Suma Tea can be beneficial in treatments of blood pressure.
~cinnamon. it will really lower your blood sugar,it heats you up as well
*****Ephedra (ma huang) and Licorice
DO NOT USE THESE HERBS as they may elevate blood pressure.

Of course if you mention blood viscosity to your conventional MD he'll instantly write a prescription for you for wayfarin- a nice rat poison,[why not just nibble on a bit of mouse chow kibble? D-Con!] it's the blood thinner of choice for most members of the AMA. You could also take aspirin every day also, but for those, like me, who are violently allergic to it that's not an option.

Fortunately there are some natural blood thinners, Like onions and garlic, probably anything in the allium family of herbs and then there are foods containing salicylates-the ingredient in white willow bark that scientists perverted to make the harsh drug-Aspirin.
Herbs and spices high in salicylates include: *Curry powder *Cayenne pepper *Ginger
*Paprika *Thyme *Cinnamon *Dill *Oregano *Turmeric *Licorice *Peppermint.

Cayenne and cinnamon help to thin the blood and heat us up too, but you could try this instead:

Chocolate and turmeric. Not since the love story of Shah Jahan and his beloved Mumtal, for whom he constructed the Taj Mahal, has such an intriguing union come out of India. Before you quickly dismiss it as too strange for your taste buds, consider this: India boasts a much lower-than-average incidence of age-related memory decline, and health experts are attributing it to the abundant use of turmeric in their cuisine. The health benefits don’t stop at the top, either. Trickling all the way down to the very tips of your toes, fragrant turmeric promotes healthy circulation and antioxidant protection for every one of the cells, while simultaneously warming and soothing the joints. With such compelling facts as these, the wise course for each one of us is to look for creative ways to incorporate more of it into the diet.
This month we’re taking the chill out of winter by turning up the heat on hot cocoa. In the South American tradition of mixing the cacao bean with hot spices (remember those luscious scenes portrayed in the movie Chocolat?), we added a dash of turmeric (a member of the ginger family) and a tiny pinch of cayenne to conventional hot chocolate for Swanson’s Spicy Cocoa Soother. You’ll stimulate your taste buds and your immune system while indulging in one of your favorite cold weather treats!


1 cup of organic milk-non pasteurized.
1 tablespoon of organic half & half cream
1 heaping teaspoon of cocoa powder
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/4–1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder* (start with smallest amount and add more as preferred)
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Mix dry ingredients (cocoa powder, sugar, turmeric and cayenne pepper) in a mug; then add cream to make a paste. Heat the milk and pour into the mug. Stir to combine with other ingredients, and enjoy!
*Can also substitute Turmeric capsules by opening one or two of them and emptying them into the mug.
Add the items available through
Swanson Home Page

~ you can click this link and buy any of these you can't find locally [the vits and supplements here are awesome, made in the US, best prices.]

SO, ARE THERE ANY SUBSTITUTES FOR PRESCRIPTION MEDS FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? YES, AND IT'S NOT RAT POISON!

and I'm takingCellPower™ and
~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.

Two blondes with hammers, Carol and Donna, were doing some carpenter work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail, and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in. Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?" Carol explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end, and I throw them away." Donna got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

A blonde hurried into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off. "How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her. "Well, I was trying to commit suicide," the blonde replied. "What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting off your finger?" "No, Silly, " the blonde said. "First I put the gun to my chest, and then I thought, I just paid $6,000.00 for these implants. I'm not shooting myself in the chest." "So then?" asked the doctor. "Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought, "I just paid $3,000.00 to get my teeth straightened. I'm not shooting myself in the mouth." "So then?" "Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: "This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger.

A blonde was shopping at Target, and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos..... it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold." "Wow, said the blonde, "that's amazing....I'm going to buy it!" So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that? " he asked. "Why, that's a thermos..... it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied. Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?" The blond replied...... ...."Two Popsicles and some coffee."

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?" The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away." The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "Why don't you go home for the day? Take the day off to relax and rest."
"Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it, and I have the best chance of doing that here."
The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. A couple of hours pass, and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office, and sees the blonde crying hysterically.
"What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" he asks. "No!" exclaims the blonde. "I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too!"

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming"
~~~
The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here' s a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
~~~
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
~~~
Give me a sense of humor, Lord, help me spread your Joy and love for life and other people.

OTHERS REVERSING DIABETES

IN an attempt to find SOMETHING to write about I was trawling other people's sites for how they are reversing their diabetes. Everyone has their own way and it apparently works for them. I thing just changing enough of what we were doing makes for a healing experience. While I could never, as one man did; go Vegan, he must have done something right, because it worked for him. Another person switched to a lo-fat, lo-protein diet, I guess that is probably an all vegetable diet too. I did see some kind of scary things people advocated and that is soy and corn on a diabetic diet, or any flour. But it took me quite a while of investigative research to find the flaws therein also. What I'm trying to say is this, This is MY journey and it might not work for everyone out there.
However one important thing is, I'd heard several times of people reversing their diabetes which gave me hope and yet no one ever really told me how they did it.

There are a few immutable facts and I'm trying to simplify someone Else's search for their way to do it.

Diet and exercise: While both of these will vary with different people, I think there are some basics here for both categories.

Diet- It has to be best to eat real food, foods without added chemicals but I suppose you can go by the 'conventional wisdom' i.e. the ADA way and do the food exchanges. I wouldn't; but you could. Why exacerbate poor health by eating any processed foods or highly pasteurized, Genetically modified, or adulterated[chemical-laden fake foods]. I guess I'd suggest whole foods lightly cooked or raw, fresh and non-GM.

Exercise-well this is where I see lots of variation, I'm sure it would be best to start a vigorous sweaty, heavy breathing cardio, and aerobic kind of plan, but it doesn't take into account that many with diabetes type 2 are not able to engage in anything strenuous. People with RA, FM, obesity, or other kinds of limiting diseases might need to start slower. Some people like me whose feet were made for sitting might need a different approach instead of the oft-mentioned panacea of walking.

Bicycling would be a great idea, and I'm planning to get a bike as soon as possible. I doubt if biking in the cold snowy weather we are expecting soon will work, we had a stationary bike but it was rusted and the seat wouldn't go down for me to be able to get on it, And you thought 'garden gnome' was just a cute self-deprecating name for myself......

There are a few 'tricks' to reversing diabets they include large doses of cinnamon will lower the blood sugar. I use one that includes the four essential minerals for Diabetics, Fenugreek,Gymnema sylvestre, and Biotin for healing diabetes.

There is also ALPHA LIPOIC ACID as I went into great detail concerning in the:
alpha lipoic acid blog.

There is also the Acid-Alkaline connection I've written about often: I.e. alkalizing your body blog entry.

I've also heavily discussed the benefits of enzymes:What enzymes do for us blog entry.

We talked about causes of Diabetes in our lives:alloxan causes diabetes its in your bread.

I am personally convinced it is the CellPower™ cellpower~natural cures,natural alternative medicine,body rescue alkalizing,most alkalizing,alkalizing drops,body ph health<br />natural healing,cell health,oxygenate,cellpower,detoxify;that has effected the best changes for me. I've been careful to use it as directed and my acid-alkaline balance has leveled out, my blood sugar stays low regardless of my food intake, I's really changed my life, other things I take are: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.
AND:
FLAX SEED OIL for my colon, but of course FLAX SEED OIL is also a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Every day.
And one each of the four essential minerals each day:
~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 every day.

~~~~Jokes And inspirations~~~~

Pulling into my service station 45 minutes late one morning, I shouted to the customers, "I'll turn the pumps on right away!" What I didn't know was that the night crew had left them on all night. By the time I got to the office, most of the cars had filled up and driven off. Only one customer stayed to pay. My heart sank. Then the customer pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to me. "We kept passing the money to the last guy," he said. "We figured you'd get here sooner or later."

~~~
Our first day at a resort my wife and I decided to hit the beach. When I went back to our room to get something to drink, one of the hotel maids was making our bed. I grabbed my cooler and was on my way out when I paused and asked, "Can we drink beer on the beach?"

"Sure," she said, "but I have to finish the rest of the rooms first."
~~~
The company I work for offers tours through the historic district of Annapolis, Md., led by guides dressed in Colonial clothing. While leading a group, Dave, one of our guides, tripped and fell, breaking his wrist. He went to the hospital, and as he sat waiting in the emergency room, a policeman walked by. Doing a double take at Dave in his 18th-century garb, he asked, "Just how long have you been waiting?"

~~~
I became friendly with the fortune-teller, one of the more popular attractions at the amusement park where I worked. One chilly, windy afternoon, I stopped to chat. "How's business?" I asked. Not good, she said. Only two customers had come by. She then added, "If I'd only known things were going to be this quiet, I wouldn't have bothered to open."

~~~
We sell greeting cards at my drugstore. A young woman handed me one to ring up. It read "To the one and only man in my life." Then she handed me a second card -- with the same message.
~~~
A co-worker had a unique scheme to meet women. He'd call numbers at random from the phone book. If a man picked up, he apologized for dialing the "wrong" number. But when a woman answered, he'd strike up a conversation. One day, the department manager overheard him bragging how he averaged two dates a week from this ploy. Was he fired? Did he receive a reprimand? No, he was named Director of Telemarketing
~~~
My colleague used to work as a receptionist at an upscale salon. After greeting clients, she would ask them to change into a protective gown. One afternoon a serious-looking businessman entered the salon, and was directed to the changing room and told the gowns were hanging on the hooks inside. Minutes later he emerged. "I'm ready," he called out. My friend gasped. Instead of a gown, the man was wearing something another client had left hanging in the room -- a floral blouse with shoulder pads.
~~~
I was getting ready for a tag sale one summer day. Since it was so humid out, I decided to stay inside my air-conditioned house and mark the special stickers I had bought for the sale. Then I slapped them on my blouse, ran outside, stuck them on the appropriate items and rushed back inside. I did this until every item was labeled. Later that day a UPS man came by the house with a delivery. I noticed that as I was signing for the package, he seemed ill at ease. It was only after he left that I noticed there was one sticker still attached to the front of my blouse. It read "Make me an offer."
~~~
When my wife and I showed up at a very popular restaurant, it was crowded. My wife went up to the hostess and asked, "Will it be long?" The hostess, ignoring her, kept writing in her book. My wife again asked, "How much of a wait?"

The woman looked up. "About ten minutes."

A short time later we heard an announcement over the loudspeaker: "Willette B. Long, your table is ready."

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.

(2)
Optimum diabeticsOptimum Diabetics is scientifically formulated to provide nutritional support for people with diabetes. Each supplement includes a complete, full-potency formulation of vitamins, minerals and standardized herbal extracts.
If you are not always eating a balanced diet, Optimum Diabetics Health Supplement provides the nutrients that you may be missing.

God went down to Eden to see how Adam was getting on.
"What do you think of life, Adam," said God.
"Well," said Adam. "It's quite hard work and a little boring and, well, just a little lonely too."
"Don't worry," declared God. "I've been working on a solution to all these problems. I'm going to create a Woman. She'll wash and cook for you and she'll have sex with you whenever you want. In fact, she'll do everything you can imagine."

The guard in Air Force basic training must check the ID of everyone who comes to the door. A trainee was standing guard when he heard a pounding on the door and the order "Let me in!" Through the window he saw the uniform of a lieutenant colonel and immediately opened up. He quickly realized his mistake.

"Airman! Why didn't you check for my authority to enter?"

Thinking fast, the airman replied, "Sir, you'd have gotten in anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh...the hinges on the door...they're broken, sir."

"What? Show me!"

With a twinkle in his eye, the airman opened the door, let the officer step out and slammed the door shut.

"Airman! Open up immediately!"

"Sir, may I see your authority to enter?"

The airman was rewarded for outsmarting his commanding officer.

"Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news," said our platoon sergeant during our morning lineup. "First, the good news. Private Tomkins will be setting the pace on our run." The platoon began to hoot and holler, since the overweight Tomkins was the slowest guy in the group.

"Now the bad news. Private Tomkins will be driving a truck."

The commander of the C-141 was in a hurry to fly out of the U.S. air base in Thule, Greenland. But everything was working against him. The truck to pump the sewage from the plane was late, and then the airman pumping out the tank was taking his time. The commander berated the lowly airman, threatening to have him punished. Turning to the officer, the airman said, "I have no stripes, it's 40 degrees below zero, I'm stationed in Thule, and I'm pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just how do you plan on punishing me?"

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™ cellpower~natural cures,natural alternative medicine,body rescue alkalizing,most alkalizing,alkalizing drops,body ph health<br />natural healing,cell health,oxygenate,cellpower,detoxify; 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."

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, FOLKS

(1)
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.

ConAgra spokesperson Stephanie Childs said the company decided in recent months to remove the butter flavouring diacetyl from its popcorn because of the risk to workers who handle large quantities.

The chemical diacetyl has been linked to cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare life-threatening disease often called popcorn lung.


Yet another reason to avoid gm products like corn and not using the microwave. You could, however, make your popcorn the old fashioned way in a pot, and use coconut oil
to pop it in and to flavor it, and seasalt, it contains no aluminum like table salt does. Beware!

Industrial Sources of Dioxin Poisoning in Mossville, Louisiana:
(2)
Mossville residents are surrounded by 14 toxic industrial facilities, several of which routinely release dioxins into the air, water, and land. Residents have long complained about health problems that a university health study has linked to industrial pollution. However, governmental agencies continue to issue permits which allow the industrial facilities to increase the amount of toxic pollution, including dioxins, that they release into the Mossville community...
Against great odds, Mossville residents continue to struggle to protect their health and future generations from toxic exposures that threaten their very survival. This report provides recommendations for corrective governmental action that would protect the human right to a healthy environment which is being violated in Mossville and numerous communities across the United States that are severely burdened with toxic pollution.


please see the dangers of dioxin here

a few reminders about the ubiquitous microwave

Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changes food nutrients. Hertel previously worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the major Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for questioning procedures in processing food because they denatured it. He got together with Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, haemoglobin levels decreased. "These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study".

Who knows what results they would have found if they had studied people who ate microwaved food for a year or more?

The violent change that microwaving causes to the food molecules forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes the formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no doubt one reason why it is better to eat plenty of raw food), but microwaving cooking causes a much greater number. This then causes deterioration in your blood and immune system.


Now of course I have a terrific hankering for some yummy microwaved popcorn....

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! If you must eat all that popcorn with diacetyl then the added benefit of cell infusion with oxygen in CellPower™ will help you combat that popcorn lung!

Currrently I'm holding my weight and my afternoon blood sugar readings are under a hundred but then I'm skipping lunch because I really don't need to eat so much, an apple is quite enough.

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.

~~~Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Hershey the
wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I
didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again.
Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time,
but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes
coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it
works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or
two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I
was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically
everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish
Setter and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was

MORE ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM PLUS GOOD NEWS!.....

I know, I know you've read enough about the immune system but I found a great site that explains it so well. I will try to condense it a bit for easier reading.

(1)Our first line of defence is in our mucus membranes~mucous membranes like your mouth, nose, throat and intestines, it's called secretory IgA (sIgA).

If a Pathogen gets past the (sIgA) it then has to deal with T-killer cells (CD8) and antibody-producing B cells, producing antibodies and fighting the attack of the invader.

Then we have something called
NK cells, or Natural Killer cells, get their name because they're like your immune system's secret police force.

They work a lot like your T and B killer cells, roaming your body looking for pathogen-infected cells. But when they find them, a process called apoptosis takes place. In essence...

The NK cell forces the infected cell to commit suicide!"


It's hard to believe that anyone could get sick isn't it?

Yet with our stress-ridden world filled with oxidents and free radicals that threaten; with it's liver overloading power to overwhelm us, It's nice to know that we can get something that will really help to boost our immune system. I used to get bronchitis every few weeks, long sleepless nights [fighting to breathe] making life miserable and healing time lengthened, I haven't had it for months now. Whether it was the cell power or not I don't care I found the winning combo, CellPower™

will help both the skin and the insides regain their normal pH.

Another great idea is coconut oil for weight maintenance or even losing weight and to balance the omega-3’s and omega-6’s, the essential fatty acids.
coconut oil



Mega is the most complete daily source of Omega-3/6/9 fatty acids for healthy skin, joints, hormonal balance and cardiovascular functions


Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL, and of course
THE FOUR ESSENTIAL MINERALS FOR HEALING, of special concern for diabetics:

SELENIUM,MAGNESIUM,CHROMIUM, and ZINC.

I'm down from 22 different kinds of supplements to just the above. And trust me I needed to take them all just to stay alive, now I worry so much less and if I miss some supplement for a time it's really no big deal.

Here's some good news amongst the plethora of bad news we always get....

As waistlines increase so does the spread of type 2 diabetes, but an Iranian study has shown that Silybum marianum (silymarin) -- an antioxidant extracted from milk thistle seeds -- can help treat the condition, and its flavolignans can also protect the liver.

Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics, a new study has found. The effect, which can be produced even by soaking a cinnamon stick your tea, could also benefit millions of non-diabetics who have blood sugar problem but are unaware of it.

I just add lots of it to my daily oatmeal, but you can buy the caps to take after each meal. Cinnamon in caps
