Good morning/  Well was out of town yesterday so didn’t get to adding the weather and things.   Sun is shining this morning with temperature reaching 52°f today.  Tonight it will drop a bit to 36°.  Nice weather all week in the hight fifties with lots of sunshine.  Barometer today this morning is sitting at 21.68 in Hg.  and rising.  Good sign.  Winds are from the West and will turn southerly as the day goes by.  They are coming in at around 3 MPH. I told folks to get them ice huts in off the ice a couple days ago and some didn’t listen and I see today in the paper of around twenty seven people stranded on ice that broke up on Lake Nipissing and had to be rescued.     Ice Fishing is done up here for the year through my eyes, as one shouldn’t be out on the ice with temperatures reaching fifty with sunshine., my opinion to risky.  I  The moon will rise at 11:59 PM and then set at 8:57 AM.  It will be overhead at 3:55 AM & underfoot at 4:24 PM. The sun woke this morning at 7:38 AM and will set at 7:20 PM, giving us here in Port Loring 11 hrs. 42 mins. of daylight. Highway 522 is bare and dry for most parts.

News For Port Loring & District

Ice fishing huts should be off the lakes as soon as possible.   A bit of rain tomorrow an then sunshine all week with temperatures in the fifties.  Also for those that do up some maple syrup, this is the week to get them trees tapped.  Going to do mine today.  Cold nights and sunny days it should be flowing quite well all week.  Went to town yesterday and did a bit of shopping with my son, an visited him for a couple days.  Have say the stores were just a buzzing with folks out and about, in spite of all the snow they had there.  While I was in CTC picking up some antifreeze for my radiator to top it up, we had over four inches come down.  After that the roads were major slippery.  But folks were on their best behavior and not too many accidents.  Stores are busy with folks buying. Restaurants are packed with folks enjoying an meal away from home.  My son actually took us to Casey’s and I have to tell you, if you haven’t been there give them a try.  My most favorite, is there trio, Turkey club with salad and red pepper soup.  I have never tasted any better and prices are very good.  Well tea time here and then I will get outside and get to enjoying some of that sunshine that is showing itself.  Something folks should know.  Most folks today are so worried about high cholesterol taking drugs of all kinds to lower it.  Thing they don’t tell ya is this. If one would get out in the sunshine there would be no such thing as high cholesterol.  Folks seem to think that the sunshine is Vitamin D, well in one way it is, but in reality what the sun does, it changes the cholesterol to vitamin D, and other good things. Then the cholesterol in your bloodstream  migrates to the surface of the skin, to replace the cholesterol that was converted to D and other good things.  There the sun in simple terms, just sucks up the Cholesterol from your skin.  So if every one got the sunshine needed, there would be no such thing as high cholesterol.  Amazing huh?  And folks take pill after pill after pill.  Do the research my friends and don’t be fooled, no one knows your body better than you do.    My Opinion Only.   Have a great day.

With temperatures being close to fifty yesterday and winds coming in from the south, then rain for most the night, the snow is about half gone. If temperatures continue to be warm, which they will after tomorrow, all our snow will be gone by middle of next week.  Enjoy it while you can, but be careful when crossing creeks or lakes, as I said earlier, if me I would stay clear of both.  Also would be a good idea to get them ice huts off the lakes.   Oh I will stop the ice fishing times come Monday, May12/2012.  When the regular fishing gets going it will be added once again. Have a great day.

3- you can’t breathe when your tongue is out
4- please put your tongue back inside.

Cholesterol, Vitamin D & Sunshine

Leave a comment

For a lot of years here on the Blog I have told folks that I don’t honestly believe that there is bad cholesterol.  And some have asked why.  Well it’s simple really, as if one does the research he or she would soon find that cholesterol is a major player in keeping us healthy.  Thing is this.  Cholesterol is like anything else in life, to much of a good thing can cause a bit of trouble, sometimes.    So here is my answer.  Where do you think what some call Vitamin D comes from?  Most don’t know, or even care. Some say the sun, which in one way is correct.  Thing what most don’t know and most physicians won’t or don’t tell you, is that to get vitamin D into your system, you need sunshine, as sunshine turns cholesterol into the vitamin D that you need.  So let me say that one more time. Cholesterol is very necessary stuff. It’s converted into Vitamin D by sunlight,  so…. Lack of sunlight prevents the formation of Vitamin D.

Now here is the thing.  Folks now head out to the store to buy up Vitamin D3, is this a good thing?  Well for most parts no as most over the counter items like vitamins are man made and not good for ya.  What I would do, would be to buy organic Coconut Oil and take a table spoon a day, broken down to three times a day, or a bit at every meal.  That’s all you need and not only will the coconut oil help turn the cholesterol into the D you need, it will also fix a whole and I mean a whole mess of other problems, that you might have.  Also a lot of things you don’t know you have, I will guarantee that.   Thing is though, if you don’t get outside and get sunshine, you will gather up to much Cholesterol, simple as that and that is the problem we are having today, to much. to much isn’t good no matter what it is. So to fix this problem you need what?  Sunshine my friends, lots and lots of sunshine.  Don’t be fooled, the sun is good for you, wont hurt you, even if you are fair skin. In fact, there is enough evidence out there today to say that the sun stops skin cancer an most other cancers as well.  Think on this, we are part of the earth, the earth needs sun to survive, or should say everything on the earth.  So why would the sun cause us harm?  It won’t, unless you lay in it for to long or look directly at it, so come this spring, or even now, head on outside, soak up some sunshine and get healthy.  As I say, don’t rely on others to fix your problems.  You are your own healer, you were given that, so use it.  Have a good day and as always.  My Opinion Only

Good Article Relating To Ones Health

Leave a comment

This Article written by a lady, explains a lot when it comes to treating cancer and a lot of other diseases for that matter.  Worth the read.

 

Chemotherapy and/or radiation – – or surgery?

 

Please bear with me through this important illustration. Is a headache caused by a deficiency of aspirin? The answer, of course, is NO! Then why do we take aspirin for a headache? What does aspirin do? Headache is NOT a disease. It is a symptom. It just means that you have a pain or ache in your head. Aspirin covers up or decreases the symptom (which is the headache) without addressing the real CAUSE of the headache itself.

Headaches are caused by a number of conditions including tension, stress, lack of drinking enough water, eating the wrong foods, caffeine-withdrawal, to name a few. Addressing THESE CAUSES is the answer to eliminating headache.

By the same reasoning, is Cancer CAUSED by a deficiency of chemotherapy or a deficiency of radiation? Of course not!

Do chemotherapy and radiation both actually CAUSE CANCER? Absolutely, yes they both do, as is well-documented in  medical literature.

Then if chemotherapy and radiation ACTUALLY CAUSE CANCER why are they used to TREAT cancer? Because doctors are not taught the real causes of cancer. In fact, they are taught that no one knows the cause of cancer.

But the cause of cancer IS KNOWN! You can even read about it in the newspapers. The Harvard School of Public Health admits that at least 65% of ALL cancers could be prevented by a change in diet and lifestyle. Actually, the figure is closer to 99% in my opinion, but still that’s a great admission on their part. So there we have the cause: the wrong diet and lifestyle.

So what do we do to get well? It’s NOT difficult to figure out. We GET WELL by CHANGING our diet and lifestyle!!

We all develop cancerous cells in our body every day. If our immune system is working properly, the immune cells will destroy the cancer cells. However, if the immune system is NOT working properly, the cancer cells will build up and we will have a tumor, either of microscopic size or one that is palpable (it can be felt) or one that shows up on some diagnostic test.

So if cancer is a result of the immune system NOT working properly, how do we rebuild the immune system so it WILL work properly? We rebuilt it naturally.

Chemotherapy and radiation DESTROY the immune system, the ONLY system in our body that gets us well and keeps us well from EVERY disease! Chemotherapy and radiation also destroy cells indiscriminately. Chemotherapy is poison and kills cells by poisoning them. It is a chemical and, of course, is unable to tell a cancer cell from a non-cancer cell. That’s why a person’s hair falls out and they get so sick and vomit, because the chemotherapy kills cells indiscriminately. The explanation the doctor gives to justify using chemotherapy is that the chemotherapy tends to kill the cells that are the fastest growing or the fast-dividing cells, thus it will kill MORE cancer cells than normal cells. And this is true. But it kills so MANY normal cells, particularly the immune cells, that the patient often dies from the TREATMENT rather than from the cancer!

Radiation burns out the cancer. It burns everything in its pathway. It also, like chemotherapy, kills cells absolutely indiscriminately and it destroys the immune system.

When the immune system is so severely damaged by chemotherapy or radiation, it can no longer restrain the spread of cancer. It is common after these methods of treatment to find that soon the cancer has returned and spread everywhere!

So how about cutting out the cancer! Does that get rid of it? Here’s another illustration. If you have the chicken pox, would you go to a surgeon and ask him or her to surgically remove all of the chicken pox marks in your skin so you would then be well from the chicken pox? Of course not. You would still have the chicken pox even if you no longer could see the outward manifestations of the disease, because chicken pox is a systemic disease, not a local disease. It affects your whole body.

The same thing is true of cancer. Cancer is NOT a local disease. It is a systemic disease. I developed breast cancer, but it was NOT caused by having too many breasts! Cutting the breast off doesn’t solve the problem, because ALL the factors that allowed the cancer to develop initially are still in your body.

Even if you have the cancer cut out or an organ removed, you still have left in your body ALL of the factors that allowed cancer to develop in the first place. Unless you CHANGE all of those factors, the cancer WILL return either in the same organ or in another organ or you will develop another type of disease. And if you CUT OUT the mass or tumor, what are you going to use to follow your progress in rebuilding your immune system? I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t have it removed, that decision is up to you. I’m just proposing that you evaluate ALL the options before your proceed.

How about removing the lymph nodes? The lymph nodes are part of your immune system. If they have cancer in them, that means they are doing their job! They are the little guards at the gate whose job it is to keep the cancer from spreading. When the lymph nodes are removed, then the barriers to the spread of cancer are decreased and the cancer can spread more rapidly.

Q. Is the tendency to cancer inherited? Does cancer run in families?

Here’s another illustration. If you see a very obese woman walking down the street with her two young children, one on each side, and the two young children are also very obese, is the children’s obesity inherited? No it isn’t. The mother feeds herself and she feeds the children the same way. If those children AND their mother change their diet appropriately and begin exercising regularly, there is a 99.9% chance they will become thin and fit.

Parents TEACH their children how to eat and how to handle stress, either directly or by example. They teach them good ways to eat and handle stress or they teach them bad ways to eat and bad ways to handle stress. This is the way that disease, including cancer, is handed down from generation to generation – not in the genes (except in very rare cases) but in the ways we are taught to eat and to handle (or NOT handle) life’s stresses.

News From Port Loring & District

We have had our share of snow in the past month that is for sure.  Yesterday I walked down to the shell station to get some gas, as after looking at my driveway decided on cleaning it.  Today I am sure glad I did, as yesterday it was major heavy wet snow.  Took all my snowblower could do to clean it out.  If I would have left it till today I am afraid it would have been one huge block of ice.  So my vibes were right on once again. Saying that, one has to remember we are given these feelings through out ones life for a reason. Reason being they save us a lot of grief.  Most choose not to feel them and act on them.  Today most choose to listen to others, like lawyers, doctors, powers that be and the media and not rely on themselves.  To bad too.  My Opinion Only.  Well tea time here and got to check the old wood furnace.  I suspect it is asking for more.  Have a great day my friends and dress warm if going outside today.  The sun will shine a bit later.

In The News Canada Ranks 10th in Health Care

Leave a comment

I see in the news today that Canada ranks ten out of 17 in health care.  I am thinking it is much lower than that.  But even still that sure isn’t being on top of the list.  Their remedy to the problem is this.

In order for Canada to improve its health ranking — and by extension its health-care system — the report recommends the country adopt a health-care model that focuses on primary care practices such as preventing and managing chronic diseases.

Not sure about you, but if you look back through my many many posts, you will see that I have been saying this for years. Cancer and other diseases should be treated with nutrition and prevention, not with the conventional meds and treatments of today, that make the rich richer and the sick sicker.  I also believe that natural fixes should be more explored and brought to being.  Reason being is simple my friends, we are all connected, humans, animals, and nature.  All these along with our true Mother which is earth.  The energy around us that no one seems to feel, is what we are, nothing more.  Source is energy, energy is us. That is where it all started for us and that is where we will all end up. Thing is, the answers are right there in front of us, just most refuse to feel or see them.  Source is there waiting, why not tap into it.

Good morning.  Looks like a bit of weather is upon us here in Port Loring.  Winds out there this morning are coming in from the North West at around 15 MPH.  Gust are near 25 MPH.  There is a winter storm warning up for our area this morning but with the temperatures sitting at 34 degrees it is a mixed bag of weather out there.  Rain, snow, sleet you name it.  Don’t think we will get to much in accumulations of snow unless the temperature starts to drop which it will do later on this evening.  So it will be a wait and see.  Barometer is falling and at the moment sitting at 28.91 in Hg.  Highway 522 is snow covered.  The moon will rise today at        1:04 PM and then set at 3:42 AM.  It will be overhead at 8:48 PM &  underfoot at 8:22 AM.  Moon Phase today is Solunar Table Moon Phase is 75% percent waxing gibbous  75%  Waxing  Gibbous.  The sun did rise this morning behind some clouds at 6:53 AM and will set at  6:08 PM, giving us 11 hrs. 15 mins. of daylight here in Port Loring this morning.  For the ones still wanting to go ice fishing today the best times will be from 8:00 AM till 10:00 AM then again from 1:00 PM till 2:00 PM.  One should take care if out there on the ice today with things blowing around.

News For Port Loring & District

Heavy snow, sometimes accompanied by lightning and thunder in a few locales, occurred throughout the night. The snow will continue for much of the day in most areas. A further 5 to 10 centimetres of snow are expected today bringing the total snowfall amounts to between 15 and 25 cm by this evening.  Now in saying all this, one should take into consideration that 25 cm is only 9 inches old scale.  For one I believe this metric was only brought into our country to deceive folks and if you sit back do some thinking on the subject you will see what my meaning is.  Take a look at the gas, speed limits, wind speeds, temperatures you name it. The truth is right there, one just has to look.  My Opinion Only.  Have a great day and stay safe.

Well first day of March. Amazing how fast this winter moved along.  Myself spring can’t come soon enough as I sure have missed the front porch sittin’   We didn’t get the weather that could have come our way last night but we did have around five inches or so of new snow.  For the folks that were wondering if I was putting out a new book this spring the answer is no.  I decided on getting some rest this winter.  That was the plan.  Then the urge hit to write, so for the past few days now been steadily doing up stories for my newspaper columns.   So looks like I will have lots of new stories for another book come next spring.  Not sure of what I will call it yet but will keep you up to date as time goes by.  Have a great day my friends and stay safe.
