MORE ON ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS

We've talked about air pollution and stuff added to our foods that are icky and the chemicals involved in 'protecting' the crops from pests and weeds. Now let's go into some of the chemicals that are polluting our soil and water. In Saturday's blog entry we learned that "Nitrate used in 'cured' meats is often found in our water supply" This same Nitrate causes changes in our blood chemistry that makes a sick person [one with breathing difficulties] Very sick and erodes the health of a 'well' person.

Every little thing we ingest, drink, allow on our skin,or breath in that isn't pure stresses our liver's abilities to filter these nasties out. Our bodies are marvels of self-healing, we wade through gallons of chemicals per day and even though each is harmful, and don't kid yourself anything that is NOT natural is harmful in some way, we come out relatively unscathed, but the cumulative effects of all these chemicals will eventually cause some kind of disease. If your body has a weakness for cancer you could break out in tumors, if you are weak in the colon you might have a colon disease; like IBS, Crohn's, Celiac disease or some cancer of the bowel. If you have weakened lungs you might have breathing troubles.

Since each of our body systems is related to all of the others then multi-system failure could result. For instance if you are compromised in the lungs, you may not get the proper amount of oxygen in your blood, that will affect your cells in various ways.

This is another good reason to take CellPower™ which oxygenates each and every cell we have in our bodies.

Ok that's enough of the recap. Ground Pollution:

Years ago we, in the U.S. banned Arsenic and DDT, Surprise, they are both ba-a-ack, in our food supply! {Not to mention that our soil and water is still polluted with both of them]

Anyway, many countries are still sold both of those by US companies to control pests in their countries and we import those foods!

If you think about it; every thing in the soil is leached into the crops. You can't just wash it off because it has become part of the plants themselves.

Here's another fact to ponder. Our farmland has also been abused by spraying on fake fertilizers. There isn't any left that hasn't been ruined by a three-part chemical fertilizer[ nitrogen, phosphate, and water soluble potash] that has caused the soil to lose the trace mineral content. I use manure, mostly rabbit manure and composted leaves. Not the most appetizing sounding additive but it makes yummy veggies.

Another problem with the farmland is not allowing fields to go fallow for a year in every seven...Many farmers have learned that it's best to let the land rest every so often but it has only been a 'good idea' for a few decades.

God even ordered the Israelites to allow a Sabbath rest for the land see Lev 25:2-7
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD. 3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. 4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. 5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you--for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten."


Apparently this is pretty important because when they declined to do so, He ordered them to go into exile to Babylonia for the number of years of Sabbath rests they'd neglected to give their land. See Jeremiah.

Often the aquifer, the under ground water reservoir, will be endangered by any number of pollutants, especially chemical ones from construction waste and landfills. Also there are buried barrels of waste stored underground from factory waste that over time will corrupt [they rust] and leach dangerous chemicals into our water supply. Every time someone waters their lawn upon which they have sloshed dangerous chemicals and the extra runs off into the street; or oil on driveways will run off from rainwater into the city drains and right into the water supply.

All of these things will add to the chemical cocktail we imbibe in our tap water.

All the more reason we want to make sure we have a really good anti-oxidant chasing those pesky free radicals right out of our bodies, another good reason to take CellPower™ every day in a nice clean glass of water or juice.

The air we breath, our food and our water are no longer safe by any stretch of the imagination. They all conspire to make our bodies weak and bring on conditions to make us sick.

I want to make an illustration here. When you have a garden if your plants are healthy and have all the nutrients they need and plenty of soil, water and fresh air they are not likely to be attacked by insects which after all are there to breakdown sickly plants and vegetation to make it 'go back to the soil' the old dust-to-dust. thing. I believe germs and other pathogens are our insects to kill us off when we are sickly to take us 'back to the soil'. Think about it, The healthier you are the less likely a disease will attack, you drink poisons, or continually eat poison and you are way too sickly to fight off any pathogen that wants to take you down. Take CellPower™ for the best of health, you will feel better, have a longer, FULLER, life and isn't that what we all want?

~~~AND NOW THE Jokes~~~

RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES
Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines.

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

A man is shipwrecked and is the only survivor.

When he wakes up, he's on a beach. The sand is purple. He can't believe it. The sky is purple. He walks around a bit and sees that there is purple grass, purple birds and purple fruit on the purple trees. He’s shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn purple, too.

"Oh no!!" he says, "I think I’ve been marooned!!"

not a joke but it's a great reminder, not just kids are watching we all are and learn by example
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust in God.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."

Little eyes see a lot.

If Cat Stevens married Snoop Doggy Dogg, he'd be Cat Doggy Dogg.

If Olivia Newton-John married Wayne Newton, then divorced him to marry Elton John, she'd be Olivia Newton-John Newton John.

If Sondra Locke married Elliott Ness, then divorced him to marry Herman Munster, she'd become Sondra Locke Ness Munster.

If Bea Arthur married Sting, she'd be Bea Sting.

MODERN STRESSES AND OUR HEALTH

I know everyone has heard about free radicals:
(1)
"To understand the way that free radicals and antioxidants interact, you must first understand a bit about cells and molecules. So here's a (very) brief refresher course in Physiology/Chemistry 101: The human body is composed of many different types of cells. Cells are composed of many different types of molecules. Molecules consist of one or more atoms of one or more elements joined by chemical bonds.

The human body is composed of many different types of cells. Cells are composed of many different types of molecules. Molecules consist of one or more atoms of one or more elements joined by chemical bonds.

Atoms consist of a nucleus, neutrons, protons and electrons. The number of protons (positively charged particles) in the atom’s nucleus determines the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) surrounding the atom. Electrons are involved in chemical reactions and are the substance that bonds atoms together to form molecules. Electrons surround, or "orbit" an atom in one or more shells. The innermost shell is full when it has two electrons. When the first shell is full, electrons begin to fill the second shell. When the second shell has eight electrons, it is full, and so on.

Normally, bonds don’t split in a way that leaves a molecule with an odd, unpaired electron. But when weak bonds split, free radicals are formed. Free radicals are very unstable and react quickly with other compounds, trying to capture the needed electron to gain stability. Generally, free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule, "stealing" its electron. When the "attacked" molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical itself, beginning a chain reaction. Once the process is started, it can cascade, finally resulting in the disruption of a living cell.

Some free radicals arise normally during metabolism. Sometimes the body’s immune system’s cells purposefully create them to neutralize viruses and bacteria. However, environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides can also spawn free radicals.

Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron-"stealing" reaction. The antioxidant nutrients themselves don’t become free radicals by donating an electron because they are stable in either form They act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease."


Is that clear? Ok, it's like this three kids form a play group, there has to be three, one more joins and they are unhappy, so a rescue group joins and there are two groups of three; as happy as can be.

(1)
The Lesson: Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables!
The antioxidants are believed to help protect the body from free-radical damage. But before you go out and stock your pantry with mega-doses of these vitamins, be warned: more is not always better. The long-term effect of large doses of these nutrients has not been proven. Other chemicals and substances found in natural sources of antioxidants may also be responsible for the beneficial effects. So for now, the best way to ensure adequate intake of the antioxidant nutrients is through a balanced diet consisting of 5-8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.


Of course as we've seen before not all veggies and fruits are created equal, threre are real foods and GM 'foods', ther is stuff grown in good soil and some grown in poor soil, there is food grown both with and without the 'cides [herba- and pesti-]. So often supplementing is better than doing without or getting bad 'food'.

My first choice for detoxifying is CellPower™. It puffs up our cells with oxygen that is lacking in our environment air, and allows the release of all spent nutrients that build up and also forces the free radicals out.

VOC gasses:

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. And there's nothing 'organic' in the classic "good for you' sense.

We've all heard that the travel trailers made for Katrina victims has further victimized them with VOC gasses left in them from the manufacturing processes. The new smell you get in automobiles, Mobil homes, new construction on stick-built homes is formaldahydde.

I have a personal story concerning formaldahyde. I worked for 8 months in a dot com business. The office had an issue with formaldahyde in the carpets and I developed a case of bronchitis that has never really left me and it's been 4 years since I was in that building. However with the CellPower™, I'm really on-the-mend.

Not all VOC's are formaldahyde; Perchloroethylene is a cancer-causing VOC used in dry cleaning. Look for environmentally friendly cleaners that do not use this toxic chemical.

Sources of VOCs Include ...
Paints
Paint strippers and other solvents
Wood preservatives
Aerosol sprays
Cleansers and disinfectants
Moth repellents
Air fresheners
Stored fuels and automotive products
Hobby supplies
Dry-cleaned clothing
Varnishes
Newspaper
Cooking
Vinyl floors
Carpets
Photocopying
Upholstery fabrics
Adhesives
Sealing caulks
Cosmetics
Vehicle exhaust
Pressed wood furniture
Tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke)


Acute symptoms of VOC exposure include:
Eye irritation/watering, Nose and throat irritation, Headaches, Nausea/vomiting,
Dizziness, Asthma exacerbation, Allergic skin reaction, Memory impairment,Visual disorders,
However, over time, VOCs can lead to many serious conditions including:
Cancer, Damage to the liver, kidney and central nervous system,Loss of coordination.


'cides:

Agri-business just doesn't have the resources we've had in times past to individualy pick weeds or pluck insects off crops to keep the crop safe from either, so they use buckets of herbacides and pesticides to do that job for them.

Let's just face facts here we on this planet are all carbon-based and what kills the cells of a batch of quack grass will kill cells in our own bodies. What distroys an insect that sucks the juices out of a plant will do something yucky to us too.

I am not going into a huge dissertation of what the individual chemicals that are used for each of these 'cides will do to us, I will just give you an anecdotal account. My step-father was a State Agricultural inspecter in Minnesota. he knew lots of varied people in this capacty and since hje had a large potato farm he met with and had lots of experience with chemicals. He told me he watched as a friend of his who was a pesticide sprayer; piloting a spray plane, accidentally flew into a cloud of pesticide he'd just sprayed. Well, he landed, got out and promptly fell dead on the tarmac, 'Nuff said.

I don't like to think of this but it's quite true that much of these chemicals are not just on the veggies and fruits but inside them. More free radicals.....We are constantly exposed to this chemical stew, and it's no wonder we stay so sick, and even if we "have a longer life span" than previous generations the quality of that life is certainly not lasting. This is why a good supplement like CellPower™ is so necessary for those who are beginning to feel our environmental stresses, and especially for those who aren't yet. I was so very sick when I started taking it that it immediatly gave me a huge boost of energy, cleared up some problems I've had with me for many years and is working quite well on getting the chronic troubles chased outta me.

It is a natural product, which unlike drugs that shock and awe your body into change, often causing side effects, cellpower will gently adjust your systems towards health, without causing sides at all. Sometimes there is a Herxheimer effect, Your body; while throwing off toxins and pollutants, will feel a bit sickish, sometimes for as long as two weeks, then a huge burst of health will follow.

I had just done a few flushes, liver and colon, so I got the Herxheimer's with them and was primed for that lovely burst of health. See:for an explaination of Herxheimer's

Some more help that I need is coconut oil

,Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL

Have a great day, may you be always blessed and your wallet always full, May you find fresh pasture and cool shade. Be blessed my friends!

AND THE
~~~JOKES~~~
A patient underwent intense therapy to rid him of the delusion that a huge fortune awaited him. He was expecting two letters: one would give him sole title to a huge Spanish treasure lost by Francisco Orellena in the Amazon River; the other, of course, from Publisher's Clearing House awarding him 11.7 million dollars.

Just when the psychiatrist was making real progress in curing the man, both letters arrived.

I'm still waiting for my letters. Today's the day!

Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
-Robert Frost

In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning.

From Australia.....
A football coach walked into the locker room before a game, looked over to his star player and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed maths, but we need you in there. So, what I have to do is ask you a maths question, and if you get it right, you can play."

The player agreed, so the coach looked into his eyes intently and asked, "Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two plus two?"

The player thought for a moment and then answered, "4?"

"Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he had got it right.

Suddenly all the other players on the team began screaming, "Come on coach, give him another chance!~~~

on that note I will bid adieu.
