Blueberries, Garlic, & Apples – These three foods are tasty and can be easily combined with many other foods in home-made recipes. Garlic and Blueberries lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The fiber pectin in apples decrease the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver. Using these ingredients in your meals can make a healthy impact on your cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
So……….just one more reason to start eating right and get out there in the garden this spring.
Chemotherapy is a barbaric form of medicine, and new research is showing that even when it is called a “success” by western doctors, it is destroying patients’ future health by severely compromising their immune systems. How? By causing massive DNA damage that greatly multiplies patients’ risk of being diagnosed with leukemia and other diseases later in life.
Naturopaths and even many western doctors have long questioned the wisdom of chemotherapy. It’s a highly toxic procedure that, believe it or not, doesn’t have a shred of scientific evidence to back its use. Chemotherapy hasn’t been proven to increase the lifespan of leukemia patients at all. Its only measurable result is to shrink tumors and alter blood chemistry markers in ways that doctors label a “success,” but in terms of real lifespan and quality of life, chemotherapy does nothing.There are far better ways to fight leukemia and cancer than by turning to chemotherapy, radiation or other radical treatments. Even if a patient gets so hoodwinked by their doctor that they choose to undergo the toxic procedure, they’ll greatly minimize their DNA damage by turning to nature and consuming large quantities of chlorella and other superfoods before the procedure. In previous studies described in Superfoods for Optimum Health, patients who ate chlorella before undergoing chemotherapy not only showed the lowest side effects from the treatment, they also went on to survive longer than other patients — much longer. Oncologists were stunned!
Just one more reason to get to growing your own garden come spring. Which by the way isn’t to far off. Also look for my new gardening book comiing out April 2nd 2009 not far off either.
If you don’t already eat broccoli regularly, you could be putting your ability to breathe easily at risk. The reason? Research by University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) scientists concludes sulforaphane, a natural compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables (like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower), appears to protect against respiratory inflammation that causes asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that make it hard to breathe.
Well they have had their way for a good number of years and now it’s time they get what they deserve in some cases. I also believe though that one should make sure they know what they are putting into their body before they do it. Do the research before taking the steps, my old Dad used to say. My Opinion Only
In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against Wyeth in the Diana Levine case, setting a crucial precedent in the battle against Big Pharmaceuticals. The ruling ends an important part of the Big Pharma / FDA conspiracy racket that sought to market extremely dangerous (and even deadly) drugs while providing full legal immunity to drug companies, even when those companies actively lied about the safety of their drugs by hiding negative drug studies from the public and the FDA.
The decision has hit Big Pharma hard. The industry, already reeling from layoffs and a loss of innovation, is now facing a wave of lawsuits from potentially hundreds of thousands of people who have been harmed by dangerous prescription medications. The legal path for such lawsuits has now been cleared, and drug companies can no longer claim legal immunity just because they managed to deceive the FDA into declaring their dangerous chemicals were “approved.”
For years medical doctors prescribed antibiotics for almost everything and anything when it came to infections. Overuse of these antibiotics has resulted in “super bugs” – bacteria that is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Serious consequences can result from this resistance; stronger antibiotics are being discovered but eventually bacteria will become resistant to those as well. On a personal health level, antibiotics result in gastrointestinal changes because along with killing off bad bacteria they also kill of the good bacteria necessary for digestion. Destroying the bacteria also increases the chance for even more infections. To help restore the bacteria in ones stomach I highly recommend you take Acidophilus & Bifidus each tablet containing 6 billion live cells. Actually I am on it now and it has helped me immensely. I take one capsule with each meal. My Opinion Only
Scary stuff for sure. I know for one I am not going for exrays just for the sake of it. Just wished I didn’t go in for the ones I have had so far. Got talked into them and the trouble is not one of them did one thing to help me. Take A Look at this article Might save you some grief in the future.
A new report released by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement reveals that Americans’ exposure to radiation has increased more than 600 percent over the last three decades. Most of that increase has come from patients’ exposure to radiation through medical imaging scans such as CT scans and mammograms.
Most patients have no awareness of the dangers of ionizing radiation due to medical imaging scans. Virtually no patients — and few doctors — realize that one CT scan exposes the body to the equivalent of several hundred X-rays (http://www.naturalnews.com/023582.html), for example. Most women undergoing mammograms have no idea that the radiation emitted by mammography machines actually causes cancer by exposing heart and breast tissue to dangerous ionizing radiation that directly causes DNA damage.
Even low doses of radiation can add up to significant increases in lifelong cancer risk. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2007) found that survivors of the 1945 atomic bombs unleashed on Japan during World War II still faced significant increases in lifetime cancer risk. And the levels of radiation to which these particular study subjects were exposed is equivalent to receiving only two or three CT scans, explains an ABC News story (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Cancer…).
Yes, it’s true: A couple of CT scans can expose your body to as much radiation as standing a few miles from an atomic bomb explosion. This is a simple scientific fact.
I like it when this happens to folks. Goes to prove that one just has to seek out help from Mother Nature, as she is just a waitin’ to help us.
64 year old Janet Hafner says she’s been off her diabetes medicine for nearly 6 months and she’s been controlling her high cholesterol through herbal medicines.
She says not only is it good for her pocketbook but her overall health.
Hafner says, “To be able to control it better and to know I am not going to have to increase medications and add more medications and eventually go on insulin.”
Parents can increase the amount of fruits and vegetables that their children eat simply by eating more plant foods themselve. Simple as that. Better yet start your own garden and get your young ones involved too.

Good Old Celery. Just one more reason to get outside this spring and get a patch of ground worked up for your new veggie garden. You deserve it. Also look for my new gardening book coming out around May of this year.
The reason celery is so low in calories is because it is so high in water content. Fresh, light green celery with glossy ribs is the best for eating. Celery is truly a healthy treat; all parts of the plant are edible and one cup contains only about twenty calories. There is no waste. It’s a great food and has a number of known health benefits. Here is a couple.
Celery can provide a sense of calmness. It can also help lower blood pressure. People with gout should be fans of celery because it lowers uric acid. So there you go and oh, my wife dries the leaves every year and uses them in soups through out the winter months. Sure brings the soup alive with taste. Talk Soon
Now in reading these findings my suggestion is to drink coffee in moderation like maybe one to two cups a day. That’s what I do and actually two is all I really want. Any more than that makes me feel nauseous. But I do enjoy a cup around two each day.
It’s a pleasant surprise when something questionable turns out to be full of health benefits. First chocolate was found to prevent heart disease. Then red wine was shown to increase overall longevity. Now the spotlight is on coffee. Newly released studies reveal that coffee drinking lowers risk of stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. It even improves social skills and depressive symptoms. Other recent research has shown that drinking coffee reduces the risk of diabetes.
What I have been saying for years and still am today. Just one more reason to eat organic or better yet grow your own.
Although you won’t hear this from the cancer industry or the drug companies that profit from cancer, there’s an easy, low-cost and remarkably safe way to slash cancer rates around the world by about one-third, says the World Cancer Research Fund: Promote healthy foods and exercise.
Myself I believe that cancer is hard to cure. The thing one has to do is prevent it. That means eating right. But the problem is that the food today that is out there for us to eat isn’t good. We have to eliminate all the pesticides in and on our food. Also the antibiotics has to be used only for certain things, the rest has to be done away with along with over two thirds of the over counter items. The injecting our beef with antibiotics has to stop too. Once this is done, we might have a fighting chance. Will it be done? Not likely, as the big pharmaceutical guys are making to much money off us humans, and critters too for that matter.But on the bright side of things. It’s up to you what you put in your body or on it. Think about that. Talk Soon
You know as human beings, we’re the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves. As part of modern living, we create a wide variety of chemical toxins that goes directly into our bodies, through rivers and streams, the air, the soil and so on. Not only that, we actually combine toxic chemicals and then inject them directly into the food supply — knowing full well that they are poisonous and are major contributors to the epidemic rates of chronic disease we are experiencing today. What to do get out there this spring and Plant your own or seek out organic foods and get to eating. Also start telling folks that sell things covered wtih pesticides that they shouldn’t be selling them and that you won’t be buying them anymore. We are the ones that caused the problem, well some of us. So we humans have to be the ones to stop it.
Stop buying soaps and other home products that contain triclosan and other antimicrobial agents—including toothpaste, cosmetics, carpets, plastic kitchenware, sponges, and even toys. Urge your family, friends, and workplace not to buy them either.
Wash your hands by rubbing thoroughly with ordinary soap and warm water before preparing food and after using the toilet, as this is still the best way to prevent colds and food-borne disease.
For most of human history, soap got rid of germs by making surface dirt and oils slippery enough to be rubbed and rinsed off. Since World War II, however, human-made chemicals have altered the traditional recipe. Manufacturers increasingly fortify liquid soaps, shower gels, and body washes with a wide range of fragrances and other inputs—including germ-fighting “antibacterial” properties—and tout the benefits of doing so.
But the truth is, that antibacterial soaps are not significantly more effective at combating germs than regular soaps. Even worse, their popularity is contributing to the growing problem of drug-resistance—creating greater opportunities for the emergence of deadly “super-bugs” that are immune to germ-fighting agents. As a consequence, many antibiotics and other compounds used to fight life-threatening infections like malaria and tuberculosis are no longer as effective as they once were. When it comes to germ prevention, there’s really no substitute for plain old soap and water.
My Choices.
Good old Ivory Soap one of my favourites or better yet just good old Lye Soap with honey. Can’t be beat in my eyes and so good for you.
Garlic is recognised as a valuable ingredient in maintaining a healthy life and combating disease. However what looks to be perfectly natural could in fact be treated with all kinds of chemicals. So the question is where is your garlic from and how has it been treated? Now think about this: The bulk of the world’s garlic is produced in China. Also garlic from China is doused in chemicals to stop sprouting, to whiten garlic, and to kill insects and plant matter. It also is grown in untreated sewage which I figured over the years. So………. what does that tell ya? Tells me to get out there and plant my own. And remember this. My new gardening book will be on the shelves around the first of May. Talk Soon
The folks that raised me told me this over fifty years ago and they are just finding it out now? Kind of think they should be asking our elders on how we dealt with things, wouldn’t you think? It would save millions of dollars a year. Also save thousands of lives. Wonder how many thousands of dollars it cost to find this out. If they would have asked me I wouldn’t have charged them a cent.
to a study conducted by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
“Although sleep’s relationship with the immune system is well-documented, this is the first evidence that even relatively minor sleep disturbances can influence the body’s reaction to cold viruses,” researcher Sheldon Cohen said. “It provides yet another reason why people should make time in their schedules to get a complete night of rest.” Also don’t forget even a half hour rest at noon helps a lot too.
