MSG AND DIABETES

(1)

MSG and type 2 diabetes
Your article “Type 2 diabetes appearing in youths” (SN: 7/10/99, p. 31) is of special interest
to me. I saw no type 2 diabetes in young people when I started medical practice in the early
’60s. By the time I had retired in 1995, such patients were not uncommon in my practice. I
believe monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the cause. MSG is an excitotoxin that works by overstimulating
its nerve target. When MSG is fed to baby rats for the first 9 days of their lives and
then discontinued, the MSG destroys the arcuate nucleus of the pituitary gland. For the rest of
the life of the rat, it will be obese, hypothyroid, and lethargic when compared with controls not
given MSG. Remember, MSG was released on the market in 1948. Just read your food labels.

This was written by a Doctor for a medical Journal but is not readily available to the public, Why?

Way too many food manufacturers are making money off of this stuff, who cares if it directly impacts the health of millions of people. They seek the thrill of great tastes and this is the result.

Why doesn't the FDA warn us? Why indeed.

Here's more:
(2)

...Scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies.

No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with a chemical when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and humans?) to become obese They even have a title for the race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats"

Did you see that? No strain of mice is naturally obese but they make them fat by using MSG.

My strongest advice is to go through your cupboards and yes, your spice drawer and throw away everything with any MSG in it look for anything with the following names because MSG hides under other aliases:

Monosodium Glutamate
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Hydrolyzed Protein
Hydrolyzed Plant Extract
Plant Protein Extract
Sodium Caseinate
Yeast Extract
Texturized Protein
Autolyzed Yeast
Hydrolyzed Oat Flour
Calcium Caseinate
Additives that Frequently Contain MSG:

Malt Extract
Bouillon
Stock
Natural Flavoring Seasonings
Malt Flavoring
Broth Flavoring
Natural Beef or Chicken Flavoring
Spices


I found it in my favorite low salt seasoning: Lemon Pepper, sigh, I guess I'll just have to just use my own seasoning instead: Katy's essence another advantage of summer.

Recommended reading The slow poisoning of America, by John E. Erb and T. Michelle Erb.

The three best things you can do for yourself are:
-Eat lots of fresh, uncooked vegetables and fruits for all their enzymatic goodness on the allkalizing foods list
-do NOT eat anything with MSG in it and
-Take CellPower™ to accelerate the healing process.






I find that since I've been taking CellPower™ I am getting well from so many problems I've had.
Some more help that I need, for weight control, is coconut oil

people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:




"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8



"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my Mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."

Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7


"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day"
Mary Ann - age 4



"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4


"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)

Karen - age 7



"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6


"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8



And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

(2)MSG - Slowly Poisoning America
http://www.rense.com/general52/msg.htm

WHAT ENZYMES DO FOR US

Even freezing foods damages the enzymatic content of foods, imagine if you will what cooking them does?

There are enzymes in all foods, but since we cook them all the enzymes die.

Why do we need enzymes? What do they do?

(1)

Enzymes fall into one of three major classifications. The largest is the metabolic enzymes which play a role in all bodily processes including breathing, talking, moving, thinking, behavior and maintenance of the immune system. A subset of these metabolic enzymes acts to neutralize poisons and carcinogens such as pollutants, DDT and tobacco smoke, changing them into less toxic forms that the body can eliminate. The second category is the digestive enzymes, of which there are about 22 in number. Most of these are manufactured by the pancreas. They are secreted by glands in the duodenum (a valve that separates the stomach from the small intestine) and work to break down the bulk of partially digested food leaving the stomach.

The enzymes we need to consider when planning our diets are the third category, the food enzymes. These are present in raw foods and they initiate the process of digestion in the mouth and upper stomach. Food enzymes include proteases for digesting protein, lipases for digesting fats and amylases for digesting carbohydrates. Amylases in saliva contribute to the digestion of carbohydrates while they are being chewed, and all enzymes found in food continue this process while it rests in the upper or cardiac portion of the stomach. The upper stomach secretes no digestive juices whatsoever, but acts much like the crop of a bird or the first stomach of ruminant animals. It can be described as a holding tank where the enzymes present in raw foods do their work on what we have eaten before this more or less partially digested mass passes on to the lower stomach, about 30 minutes after food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid secretion occurs only in the lower stomach and is stimulated by the passage of food from the upper to lower stomach. (This hydrochloric acid does not digest meat, as is commonly believed, but activates the enzyme pepsinogen to its active form pepsin that digests protein.)

Our body manufaxctures enzymes but have great difficulty doing that if we are not consuming any enzymes. Oh sure you can rock on for a few years, decades even on the rare salad or some occasional crudites served at a party but not enough over the long haul will truely take it's toll. In fact consumption of exclusively cooked foods will put a severe strain on the pancreas where the insulin is manufactured.

There is the proof that our diet CAUSES diabetes.

(2)

DIGESTION AND G.I. TRACT
PROBLEMS OF ALL KINDS
Digest your food right for the first time in your life. The missing nutrient [enzymes] treats the real, underlying problem and often cures suffering
victims once and for all. Many patients report instant, miraculous relief. Food allergies go away for good and you can eat anything!... a delighted heartburn victim was able to cancel surgery, and a baby’s colic
vanished in one day.

This is good news. I'm taking CellPower™ to get many enzymes essential to health, and I'm also taking a special enzyme formula from
who have great prices and products I trust manufactured in the US.

Autism and arthrites, Diabetes and Cancer, pain and Heart disease are all enzyme deficiency diseases.

What have you got to lose? Try a diet that includes 1/3 raw foods and you'll find out it's true. You've heard about the miracles that happen when someone sent home to die of cancer by a Physician, goes to one of the alternative healing centers? They are given all fresh fruits and vegetables, whole and juiced and soon are walking out healed and hearty, busting with health.

Is that what you want or do you want to stay sick? Choose.

something a bit different today---
The 30 Second Quiz

Don't bother getting a pen and paper... just read... if you can't answer them, just keep going.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.

5. Name the last five Academy Award winners for Best Actor and Actress.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.



Now here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. Name three teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worth while.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier? The lesson?

The people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They're the ones who care.

And I gaze up his nose in despair,
And his drill it do whine,
In these molars of mine,
"Two amalgam," he'll say, "for in there."

How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth,
As they foamed in the waters beneath,
But now comes the reckonin'
It's me they are beckonin'
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION WE ALL NEED-VARIOUS

First, the chat is fixed, finally! PEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK.

You know I've really been pushing the information on body pH. see: pH and Diabetes and pH crises.

Well there is more; lots more, I've been telling you how dangerous MSG is: What's so exciting about MSG an article about excito-toxins that kill your brain cells. I've found out that eating things with MSG in it or any other of the excito-toxins like Aspartame... will put the body in a condition that INVITES Diabetes and other diseases, it actually, like sugar, feeds cancers and asthma!!!!!!! see:(1)food and health this site will give you lots of information, just so you won't think I'm just a nutcase spouting my personal opinion here folks.

You ever have a hangover? Well a hangover is the alcohol killing off brain cells, Guess what? MSG produces that same awful headache and why? You guessed it it's just killed off your precious brain cells.

I'm not through, there is so much research on all the sites I just gave you, I won't belabor the points on MSG and Aspartame anymore, read them for yourself

I HAVE MORE NEWS!

ENZYMES, we simply don't get any with our great convenience foods because it's all pasteurized, pulverized, genetically modified, processed, homogenized and just simply cooked to death and there are NO enzymes left!

Why do we need enzymes?
(2)

SYNDROMES COMMON TO ENZYME DEFICIENCY
PMS
Hot flashes Fatigue
Cold hands and feet Neck and shoulder aches Sprue
Inflammation
Protease Deficiency Back weakness
Fungal forms Constipation High Blood Pressure Insomnia
Hearing problems Parasites
Gum disorders Gingivitis
Lipase Deficiency Aching feet Arthritis Bladder problems Cystitis
Acne
Gall bladder stress Gallstones
Hay fever Prostate problems Psoriasis
Urinary weakness Constipation Diarrhea
Heart problems
Combination Deficiency Chronic allergies
Common colds Diverticulitis Irritable Bowel Syndrome Chronic fatigue
Sinus infection
Immune depressed conditions
Amylase Deficiency Breaking out of the skin - rash Hypoglycemia
Depression Mood swings Allergies

Amylase Deficiency:
Amylase digests carbohydrates (converts them to sugars) along with dead white blood cells. When you are low in amylase you are a candidate for blood sugar imbalances, Hypoglycemia, Type II Diabetes, carbohydrate cravings and allergies. Amylase is also involved in anti-inflammatory reactions such as those caused by the release of histamine and similar substances. Asthma and emphysema may also be exacerbated by an amylase deficiency.

And we are getting no, zero, none in the way of enzymes in our foods. Fortunately I'm taking CellPower™ so I'm getting lots of enzymes in that.
partial list of ingredients in cellpower

Enzymes which reduce sytochrome
Sucoinic Dehydrogenase


Yellow Enzymes

Glyoxalase


Desmolases
Zymohexase (Adlolase)
Carboxylase


Other Enzymes
Phosphorylase
Phosphohexoisomerase
Hexokinase
Phosphoglumutase

I used this source because all the information was in an easily copy and paste mode but I'm reading a great book on enzymes called The Missing Ingredient For Good Health by Lee Uler.

He says we can take handfulls of antioxidants and still be very sick. When a person has been poked, prodded, carved upon, drugged up and nearly destroyed by drugs by Physicians and they've decided it's time for the patiient to die, that patient goes to a cancer center or other alternative health clinic they are then treated with what? Foods, whole uncooked foods and enzyme supplements and then they get well, over and over and over this happens, they just get well and THIS IS AFTER THE DOCTORS SAY THEY ARE JUST GOING TO DIE, PERIOD.

If this information isn't something to get excited about I don't know what is. Pain, Digestive troubles like Leaky-gut and IBS,Gas,constipation etc., heart/circulation problems, cancers, Diabetes and Autism, are all affected adversely by lack of Enzymes. We all need them and supplementing only makes sense!

I am on a crusade people I want everyone to get well, to live in not just ok health but robust, vigorous health, bursting with well-being as our creator intended us to be in.

I'm doing that with CellPower™

You can do it anyway you want.

More Suthen-ism's:
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, .. as in: "Going to town, be back directly."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... and when we're "in line," . we talk to everybody!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her heart" ... and go your own way.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, ... bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads "I ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now...... Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had been!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're a Northern transplant, Bless your little heart, fake it.
We know you got here as fast as you could.

The more original a discovery, the more obvious
it seems afterwards.

CAROTENOIDS~BENEFITS TO HEALTH

Here are some different carotenoids, you know what they are; (1)Carotenoids are a class of natural fat-soluble pigments found principally in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria, where they play a critical role in the photosynthetic process.

Here are some different classes of carotenoids
Zeaxanthin
Lutein
Beta-cryptoxanthin
Lycopene
Alpha-carotene
Trans-beta-carotene
Cis-beta-carotene


Studies have shown that low levels of Zeaxanthin and Lutein in elderly patients and have suggested a link between loss of cognitive ability and low ingestion of tomatoes and Mangoes.

To age gracefully I suggest you eat plenty of both. We all have heard of the link showing that there is a low-incidence of cancer in those who eat plenty of foods high in Lutein.

I love tomatoes and yes they have some sugar in them and yes, I'm diabetic, but I'm at the point where I'm barely diabetic, I take so little insulin and even after eating my blood sugar levels are still inside the diabetic normal range.

The problem with diabetes, I know this is a digression but bear with me here, is that the foods with the goodnesses [vits and minerals, and fiber] in them are not allowed. For instanvce they tell you to eat lots of fiber, now what's a lot? We are all supposed to eat between 12-15 grams per day, leet's see that three cups of spinach, 1 cup of brocolli, and a large apple, add a tablespoon of psyllium to water before bed and you're all set. So, a lot would be more, Now I'm not including the best sources of fiber-breads etc. because they are non-diabetic foods. So, how does the diabetic eat more of this and not eat too much?

Ok, so we are reasonably healthy and want to stay that way. We definately want to eat carotenoids: (2)"Sources include liver, whole milk, and some fortified food products. Retinol can be made into retinal and retinoic acid (other active forms of vitamin A) in the body."

Some provitamin A carotenoids have been shown to function as antioxidants in laboratory studies; however, this role has not been consistently demonstrated in humans. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of oxygen metabolism that may contribute to the development of some chronic diseases.

(3)Zeaxanthin has been shown to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration
zeaxanthin is most plentiful in yellow corn, orange pepper, squash, mango, honeydew, broccoli, and egg yolks.

lycopene (which gives tomatoes, watermelons and pink grapefruit their red color) has turned into something of a media darling, mostly due to studies that have shown this carotenoid to offer protection against breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, as well as heart disease.

USDA study revealed that three cups of diced watermelon, taken daily, may result in blood serum lycopene and beta-carotene concentrations that are five times higher than in people who don't get a good intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you don't want the watermelon juice; put some heat under a tomato. Studies have shown that the body absorbs lycopene from tomatoes more efficiently when tomato dishes are heated. Also I have read that canning tomatoes doesn't significantly affect the goodnesses in tomatoes and tomato juice. Also if you cook the tomatoes with a bit of fat like cheese or meat it will increase it's absorbtion as well. Welsh Rarebit anyone?


I find that since I've been taking CellPower™ I am getting well from so many problems I've had. I do eat lots of veggies and fruits now, I think my increases interest in them is a 'side effect of taking cellpower and my atitude, I just seem to be upbeat and happy all the time, and this is from someone who has a predisposition for suicidal depression.
Some more help that I need, for weight control, is coconut oil

PARAFFIN/FRAGRANCES IN OUR AIR

Aroma therapy, isn't that a great way to get healthy? NOT

(1)

Paraffin wax... is made from petroleum and produces carcinogens and soot when burned. In fact, one air quality researcher stated that the soot from a paraffin candle contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Even many of the seemingly healthy, aromatherapy candles sold today can do more harm than good."

In the midst of the comfort we get from the heat, the dancing flame and pleasant aroma few realize
(2)

"...that most candles fill the room with something else as well…toxic, carcinogenic smoke and soot. In fact, burning paraffin candles releases many of the same toxins as diesel fuel.

This is not surprising when one considers the process of making paraffin wax. It begins at the bottom of the oil barrel, the worst 5% or so rejected by the gasoline industry. This by-product of crude oil refinement is then mixed with another less-than-enticing substance; industrial strength bleach. This is what gives wax its familiar pleasant whiteness. Now add stearic acid and a few other minor ingredients, and you have the very wax burning in your homes.

Most who become aware of the harmful toxins released by paraffin do not want to expose their families to it anymore, but know little or nothing about alternative waxes. If they know anything at all about other waxes, it is probably that most, such as beeswax, are quite expensive by comparison."

These toxins we bring into our environment all on our own; but all fragrances contain toxins that pollutes our precious atmosphere. This same life-sustaining air we must all breathe is being polluted everyday by common products we all use.

I'm going to paraphrase the next part because otherwise I'd be quoting the entire site, I'm leaving a lot out so please read the cited source, so here goes:

Is anyone out there? Does anyone read this stuff? It's out there and we wonder where SIDS comes from while filling our homes with poisons...A simple search brings this stuff up, I'm not some arcane searcher finding hidden things... this is so obvious anyway, I can't believe people can do this to themselves. I've had help though; I lost my sense of smell sometime back and what has come back has not been anything like what it was, All perfumes have a noxious chemical smell for me now, all things with fragrance in them smell exactly the same, hairspray, shampoo, laundry soap, air fresheners, dish soaps, all of it, except ones that are not harmful. Oh by the way, I have White Diamonds, Red, and Ester Lauder's Beautiful and White Linen, all smell like chemicals and they are all the real deal, no knockoffs.

It's time to make a choice, Choose more natural alternatives without the harsh and dangerous chemicals, eat better, more natural foods, cook them yourselves, breathe in clean air, and get some CellPower™ to help you heal up from the shocks we get on our bodies from all the unnatural things we are subjected to.

There is hope, we can keep the problems at bay and even heal up. We can be proactive in the face of a toxic world.

I find that since I've been taking CellPower™ I am getting well from so many problems I've had.

"If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades,” boasts Gates, "you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour.

Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50."

"Sure,” says the General Motors CEO. "But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?!!"

The programmer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do anything you want." Again the programmer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The programmer said, "Look, I'm a programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend -- but a talking frog, now that's cool!"

THE DANGERS OF CHLORINE-DIOXIN

Chlorine rarely occurs naturaly, but when it does it's a yellow gas. It is made for commercial use by running an electric current through salt water, producing Chlorine and caustic soda. You'd think that it'd be easy to dispose to break down into harmless salt and water, but it but it can only be done in a test tube. It actually accumulates in the environment and stay in a caustic state.

It cleans our clothes and whitens our paper napkins and coffee filters and it is a good thing, right?

(1)

"One of the largest uses of chlorine is in the paper industry. Chlorine is first used to break down the lignan that holds the wood fibers together. Then chlorine is used to bleach the paper to make it white. The effluent or wastewater containing dioxins and other organochlorines are then dumped into streams and waterways. These ingredients are highly toxic and carcinogenic. Once in the waste stream, they come into contact with other organic materials and surfactants and combine to forn a host of extremely toxic organic chemicals.

A chain of events occurs: The water becomes polluted; the fish become contaminated; animals eat the fish and people eat the contaminated animals and fish. This can create a very serious health problem; the dioxins and other toxic chemicals, when consumed, accumulate in the fatty tissues. These contaminants are also hormone disrupters because they mimic estrogen. The EPA has observed and documented hormonal imbalance, suppressed immune systems, reproductive infertility and alterations in fetal development of animals. In viewing the big picture, these factors are perhaps the most frightening results from the widespread use of chlorine"

In fact dioxin is so prevalent in our environment that it would be difficult to find a human being without some in their blood. We have special enzymes in our bodies to eliminate toxins but in this case t'ain't so. Even exposed to very low levels it will remain in the body and accumulate. (1) The cumulative effects of dioxin in humans have been linked to birth defects, cancer, endometriosis, diabetes, neurotoxicity, birth defects, decreased fertility, and reproductive dysfunction in both women and men and immune system breakdown.

EVERY TIME YOU USE TOILET PAPER, WIPE YOUR LIPS WITH A PAPER NAPKIN, EAT OFF A PAPER PLATE, WASH YOUR UNDIES IN BLEACH, WRITE ON WHITE PAPER YOU ARE TAKING IN DIOXINS.

The very best one can do is maintain a vigorous good health so as to fight off whatever harmful effects it can have on your health. The best way to gain this vigorous good health is to take CellPower™ every day in a nice clean glass of water [use distilled or reverse-osmosis filtered water] or juice.

Our Government maintains that chlorine in our water supply is safe, but it isn't. I'd be really careful about drinking juice that might be reconstituted with tap water also.

We have well water and I'm so glad, but even so we buy highly filtered water from the grocery store, it is charcoal filtered and also uses a reverse osmosis process to eliminate all foreign agents, both pathogenic and chemical.

And Hey, there is a better way to wipe away pathogens. H202-hydrogen peroxide. Yup good old Hydrogen peroxide. It has many uses but it's best as an antibiotic. I use it on my hands rather than washing them with soap, I've noticed that my hands are softer, less dry and I don't worry about chemicals leaching into my skin or any bacteria or fungus.

How Smart Is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And, you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't!!!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand ... Your foot will change direction!!!

I told you so ... And there is nothing you can do about it. Make sure you pass this on to your friends ... They won't be able to believe it either!!!

A guy has one arm and decides he doesn't want to go on with life, not being able to do the things other guys can do with two arms. So, he goes up to the 20th story of a building and is trying to build up the nerve to jump. As he's standing there a guy comes walking on the sidewalk below.

The one-armed man notice's that this other guy has NO arms at all. He watches as the guy stops on the sidewalk and starts dancing and spinning in circles. The one-armed man thinks to himself how selfish he is… in that he has one arm and is ready to end it all! So, he decides to go down and talk to the No-armed man.

He goes down and walks up to the guy and says, “Hey man… I’ve been up on the 20th floor considering to end it all because I have only One arm… Here you are with No arms and are dancing around. What’s your deal?

The guy with No arms says, “Arrrrr… dude I'm NOT happy! My nose itches!!!

Moral: Think Differently. If you got no arms, get a friend to scratch your nose

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?

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.
