Around town not much happening. I have been busy in the old shop working on a few things for our store.  Keeps me heading in the right direction of life. Noticed my spinach is peaking up through the soil this morning, so wont’ be long before we can get to enjoying that.  Mix them with some fresh dandelion leaves and you got yourself a salad and so healthy for you.  I can’t get enough of it. My wife even makes our own dressing as I don’t believe them store boughten dressings are good for you.  For that matter I don’t have too much faith in the medical establishment that is out there today pushing all these so called pills, treatments and tests on folks either.  When most of folks problems could be fixed by just eating right and living a good life style.  But to each their own I always say.  Have a great day my friends

Cancer Treatment

Good morning.  You know there are a lot of different kinds of natural treatments for cancer, one just has to seek them out.  Today I got an Email from my Lovely Sister Barb with a link about a new or should say old cure, that is available to cancer victims.  I myself am treating it totally using natural fixes mostly all my own. When I say that I don’t mean any store boughten items neither.  Mine come directly from Nature just outside my door.  Been a year now and getting stronger every day.    But this article does show some promise, will it ever get the research it deserves?  Well we can only hope my friends.  Click link below it will take you to the video, not long and worth watching.

Wouldn’t you think that the Cancer Society would be getting on the band wagon?    Won’t happen I don’t suspect as the huge Pharmaceutical companies can’t make any money with it and right now here in Canada and the USA they are in charge.  Or so they think.

 Not much to report.  Kind of a lull before  the storm you might say.  Folks that have cottages and tourists I am sure will start filtering into our community come May and by the end of May everyone will be busy.  Seems that’s the trend in these parts these days.  OK by me as I take each day as it is given and enjoy it to the fullest no matter what.  Only way to go I figure.  Old saying is; “We‘re not here for a long time, we‘re here for a good time.”  Just most folks haven’t realized it yet.  Have a good day my friends.

Thought I would mention that it is quite dry out there so one should be careful if burning anything these days.   Should improve some, as my old weather station is predicting a few days of rain starting tomorrow.   Today though is another story.  Today will be nice and sunny, pretty much all day and if you got some gardening work to do, or wanting to build up your body a touch, then this is the day for you. No better day for your body to soak up some of that sunshine.  Myself I plan on working up my garden a touch so that I can plant some onions and a row of spinach.  Spinach likes it cold and in fact, if you so choose to do so, you can plant it in the fall and it will come up through the snow.  A pretty amazing veggie to say the least, an so good for you.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Immune System Foods

Leave a comment

Raw, organic vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, collard greens, and spinach are the great source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber.

Quality, organic, hormone- and antibiotic-free “grass-fed” meats and poultry.

Proteins containing amino acids aids in the growth and repair of your immune system. Some protein sources can be organic,cage-free eggs, organic meat and poultry.

Quality, wild fish especially those high in Omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, trout and tuna.  Tuna from cans and things are not the greatest to be eating as the liners of the container can cause you problems.

Quality fiber Whole grains like brown rice, millet, buckwheat, oats, and barley are also a valuable source of the vitamins, minerals and fiber that are an essential part of keeping the immune system healthy. Fiber helps cleanse the colon of toxins and helps prevent intestinal infections.  Good whole wheat flour is good for you too but you have to buy the good stuff.  A good source to buy this flour is at http://arvaflourmill.com/

Bit Of Humor

Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel; I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down.

I was looking for my keys.  They were not in my pockets.  A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.

Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car.  Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.

My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.

My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them.

Her theory is that the car will be stolen.  As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion.

Her theory was right.  The parking lot was empty.

I immediately called the police.  I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered; I always call her “honey” in times like these.

“I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence.  I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice.

“Idiot”, she barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my turn to be silent.  Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

She retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car.”

4,000 Niagara students face suspension unless vaccination

Leave a comment

4,000 Niagara students face suspension unless vaccination records brought up to date. According to Public Health, immunization has saved the lives of more babies and children than any other medical intervention in the last 50 years.

Now here is a perfect item that should be upsetting folks.  Here is the Powers That Be telling you what and what you can not do.  Talk about a free country.  First off these shots that we are giving to our young in my eyes, are the cause of most of the medical problems today.  I often wonder why some folks think that the human body is so defenseless.  If left to do what it does best, on its own, for most parts it does quite well.   If vaccines work, then of course unvaccinated persons pose no risk to vaccinated persons at all. Is that so hard to see. The persistent, widespread claim that unvaccinated people “put everyone else at risk” is, therefore, nothing more than absurd fear mongering.

A better way would be where individuals have the flexibility to make a risk-benefit analysis for themselves and their children talking with their doctor or professional who know their needs or doing the research themselves. Some may choose vaccines, but others may find that for them, the risks outweigh the benefits. Whatever the choice, all should have the right to make that assessment without government interference. With forced immunity having been disproved, there is no scientific basis for government imposing its will on the people,  usurping the rights of the individual.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society

Leave a comment

Today in the news they said that half of all the Cancers could be eliminated by putting into practice life style changes.  Well hey!!!! Hello……I been saying that for the past ten years or so now.  But thing one has to remember is that we also have to change the way we are manufacturing our food.  Eliminate all the preservatives, pesticides, hormone injections, flu shots, most antibiotics and over three quarters off all prescription drugs.  Not to forget all the fast foods we have on the market today.  Then one has to eliminate the way we treat cancer and other  diseases, like chemo and radiation and things like that. These ways are not the answer.  The statistics are there for all to see, just that most don’t take the time to look..  Most listen to what we are told, instead of doing what should be done and what is right. Folks I keep saying this. The answers are right in front of you.  Don’t be fooled, take the blinders off your eyes and start taking your life back.

Ex Rays & What They Do To A Person

Leave a comment

Just one more thing to the list that shows that these radiation treatments aren’t  good folks.  I keep on stressing to folks to not have any ex-rays unless there is no other way.  In saying that, there is tons of ways of looking at things without having ex-rays. Now think on this, ex-raying ones teeth.  It’s radiation, radiation is deadly. Now think how close it is to your brain.  Doesn’t that tell you something????? if not, your not thinking clearly. Do the research and start taking control.  Take a look at this article.  My Opinion Only

A new U.S. study is suggesting patients have a conversation with their dentists about how often routine dental X-rays should be carried out. Researchers at Yale University found people who frequently got certain dental X-rays in the past — when radiation doses were higher — were linked to an increased risk of a common, but usually non-cancerous, brain tumour.

The study isn’t meant to scare people into abandoning dental X-rays altogether, but researchers want people to re-think how often they get the procedure done.

They say their findings are important because dental X-rays are the most common artificial source of exposure to ionizing radiation for people living in the United States, and that form of radiation is a known risk factor for certain brain tumours.

The Canadian Dental Association says the frequency of a dental X-ray depends on a patient’s oral health and notes that the procedures deliver very little radiation.

The study, which appears in the American journal “Cancer,” studied 1433 patients between 2006 and 2011 who had been diagnosed with intracranial meningioma — a common kind of brain tumour which often turns out to be benign.

All patients were between 20 and 79 years when diagnosed and lived in the U.S. A control group of 1350 people was used for the study.

Researchers found that those with the tumours were more than twice as likely to have had a bitewing dental X-ray — where an X-ray film is held in place by a tab between a patient’s teeth.

The study also found an increased risk of the brain tumours was associated with those who had panorex X-rays at a young age, a yearly basis or with greater frequency. The procedure is when an X-ray is taken outside the mouth and shows all teeth on one film.

Researchers note that a limitation of the study was that patients had to recall from memory procedures they had when radiation exposure was higher — something which may have led to under or over reporting of dental X-rays carried out.

Now in reading this, does it make you more aware of how dangerous radiation is????? Or are you going to keep on having them????? For most, well I know the answer, most will keep their heads buried in the sand and say, oh… well, the specialists know what is best for us.   Wrong you know what is best for you not no doctor or specialist.  Listen up, do the research, find out for yourselves and then make your own practical decisions not others.

Bubba Watson WIns The Masters

Leave a comment

Bubba Watson won his first green jacket and if asked I would have to say it was about the best Masters ever.  My old buddy Mickelson added what was one of his most perfect performances coming in at third place.  There was so many good players this year that if one had to choose it would be drastically hard, as they all played magnificently.  Even Fred Couples did well this year and just goes to show that age isn’t a great factor when it comes to playing the Masters.  Great four days my friends and it is a real shame we don’t recognize it more here in Canada.

Well Easter is upon us and most folks get a day or so off work. So usually that means that folks are happy.  Amazing isn’t it that most folks only get happy when they come into money or don’t have to work.  In reality though them thoughts are just trickery portrayed through ones mind as if the truth be told which I am doing, happiness does not come from outside sources. only from with in.  Think on that for an Easter Weekend.
Yesterday the Masters started and I have to say my wife and I had an enjoyable day watching it.
The scores at the end of the day went as follows.
  • -5 Westwood (Eng); -4 Oosthuizen (SA), P Hanson (Swe)
  • -3 Lawrie (Sco), F Molinari (Ita), Jimenez (Sp), Crane, Dufner, B Watson (all US)
  • Selected: Harrington (Ire), McIlroy (NI)
  • Par: Woods (US), Rose (Eng), Poulter (Eng)
  • +1 Clarke (NI); +2 Mickelson (US) getting a nice Birdie on the 18th hole. Made his day let me tell ya.
  • +3 Donald (Eng), McDowell (NI) +4 Casey (Eng)
  • The biggest highlight of the day was Henrik Stenson he  led the Masters for much of the first day but a quadruple bogey on the 18th saw him fall from five under to finish on one under.   Felt bad for the young feller but anything and everything can happen at the Masters.
  • So now on to day two and I am thinking it will be one exciting day.  Enjoy my friends, that is what life is all about.
