T Cells

Now here is an interesting item that I am thinking everyone should be looking at T CELLS
I have always said eating right is a great defence against disease.   Foods that we should be eating to promote more Vitamin C which helps our White Cells (T Cells) would be grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, and clementines.   I think they should be eaten on a daily basis, especially this time of year as this is when the good ones are readily available.  I would stay away from the ones from countries other than the USA.  Not that I am picking sides, it’s because of the water and waste control that one might be subjected to.  In other words, there are more regulations protecting us when dealing with foods and fruits grown in the USA or Canada.  These are better than any tablet and easier on the stomach.
My opinion only.

Benefits Of A Beer Now & Then

 

Interesting maybe I should pick up a case of Bud.

A few Benefits of beer

1. Beer keeps your kidneys healthy A Finish study singled out beer among other alcoholic beverages, finding that it was better for your kidneys. In fact, each bottle of beer you drink reduces the risk of developing kidney stones by 40%.

2. Beer for better digestion Beer and especially dark beer contains up to one gram of soluble fibre* in each 30 cl glass – unlike wine, which doesn’t contain any fibre at all. Fibre plays an important role in intestinal transit (a fibre deficiency can cause gastric and intestinal disorders such as constipation or diarrhea).

3. Beer to lower your bad cholesterol The fibre in beer can also help reduce your levels of LDL cholesterol, i.e. the “bad” type of cholesterol.

4. Beer can increase your vitamin B levels Beer contains several B vitamins (B1, B2, B6 and B12). A Dutch study found that beer drinkers had 30 percent higher levels of vitamin B6 than their non-drinking counterparts, and levels that were twice as high as those of wine drinkers. Beer is also a generous source of vitamin B12, an anti-anemic factor not found in many foods.

5. Beer for stronger bones! A 2009 study concluded that the elevated levels of silicon in beer can contribute to higher bone density.

6. Beer as a cure for insomnia Lactoflavin and nicotinic acid, which are both in beer, can promote sleep!

7. Beer reduces your risk of a heart attack Beer drinkers have a 40 to 60 percent reduced risk of suffering a heart attack compared with non-beer drinkers.

8. Beer helps prevent blood clots The ingredients in beer help prevent blood clots from forming.

9. Beer boosts your memory According to studies, beer drinkers are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia than non-beer drinkers.

10. Beer helps combat stress Researchers at the University of Montreal found that two glasses of beer a day can reduce work-related stress or anxiety.

11. Beer as a cold remedy Drinking warm beer is an excellent cold remedy! When barley is warmed up it improves blood circulation and helps you breathe when you feel congested. It also provides relief for joint pain and boosts your immunity. So, how do you prepare it? Heat a bottle of beer in a double boiler and then add four small teaspoons of honey.

12. Beer makes skin more beautiful Good news for women! Certain vitamins in beer can regenerate the skin and have a positive impact on pigmentation. Your skin becomes smoother and suppler.

Salt Is Good For You

I have been saying this for years that salt is a good thing in ones diet not a bad thing.  As our body needs salt to survive.  Years ago we used to have salt tablet dispensers in the work place for those that worked hard.  Reason being that when one sweats he looses salt at a drastic rate. Loosing salt one gets weak and opens up the door for other problems.  I will say this though that one should eat only good raw salt not the white salt that most find in the stores today.  Pink Sea Salt is a good choice. When bought it is moist and needs to be dried and ground.  Here is the article that came out today.

Headlines declared the news this week that low-sodium diets don’t benefit health. The stories were based on a new study in the Lancet that concluded cutting back on sodium doesn’t improve health for most and that it may, in fact, increase the risk of cardiovascular problems. The findings run counter to messages repeated for years by groups like the World Health Organization and the Heart and Stroke Foundation: that the vast majority of us consume too much sodium and it’s contributing to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and other health problems. They also highlight an increasingly contentious battle between the health experts who advocate for sodium reduction and the small but vocal group of researchers who say big decreases aren’t a good idea.

Eye Surgeons

Eye surgeons were the highest paid doctors in the province, based on billings to Saskatchewan’s Medical Services

Not only in Saskatchewan as seems to be trend all over Canada and the USA.  For most parts, My Opinion Only Of Course, is that most eye problems can be simply treated at home without going through all this surgery that once again, My Opinion Only is not necessary.  I have talked to numerous folks who had surgery done to their eyes and the findings weren’t good, resulting in some very serious side effects from the work that was done on the eyes itself.  Like a lot of things I am in belief that natural is the way to go.  Modern medicine has its place for sure but it has gotten out of control.  Things that should be promoted and taught are nutrition, exercise, information informing folks of healing plants and the many many benefits of breathing in fresh air loaded with oxygen.  Mix that all together with the sun and one will be on the road to having a healthy body and mind.  Remove the blinders, do what you feel is right in your own being, not to be instigated by others.  Life is really amazing and should be let alone for most parts to thrive.

ADHD

 What is your views on ADHD..  Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. That was a question I was asked.

First off let me tell you this.  I don’t believe there is any reason what’s so ever, for prescribing drugs for children with their so called ADHD drugs.  If a child has a problem of not communicating with the teacher or whom ever or causing a bit of a problem in class, usually it is because they are bored. If the teacher can’t control the children then they should be sent home and their parents notified of what is happening and let the parents fix the problem. Drugs should not be not be brought into the picture what’s so ever.  Also our Powers That Be should be taking steps to make the classes interesting enough to keep the children wanting to go to school.  You are always going to have a bully or some one that causes a bit of trouble.  They are kids, they crave attention and to get attention will go to any lengths. We as adults should see this.   A lot of children comes from broken homes, not an easy way of life on a child’s view of things.  I know, I came from a broken home.  Had all kinds of different folks looking after me, until one couple took the time to help me get my mind back on the straight and narrow.  I was probably one of those young ones that would be a candidate for these so called prescription drugs today.  Thing was I made out OK in life, without them.  Also… there is no scientific proof of what these drugs will do to the young ones mind later on down the road.  Seems to me that the Powers That Be today are trying to fix everything with drugs these days.  The more zombie us humans becomes the better it is for those that want control.  Altering a child’s mind with drugs is not the answer.  My Opinion Only

GMO…What You Can Do To Stop It

Hi Everyone,

Environment Canada has recently given AquaBounty, an American company, permission to produce genetically-modified salmon eggs on a commercial scale. Now, there is only one step left before mutant fish hits our dinner plates — approval from Health Canada to allow GMO salmon for Canadian consumption.

If Health Canada approves GMO salmon, a new breed of farmed fish will soon be at your local grocer or seafood restaurant without you even recognizing it. Let’s tell Health Canada to reject mutant fish for human consumption in our country.

You can tell Health Canada that we don’t want GMO fish in our stores and restaurants here: http://action.sumofus.org/a/gmo-salmon-health-canada-rejection-franken-fish/?sub=mtl

Between allowing GMO salmon and the licensing of Norwegian fish farms on the BC coast, our government seems to be doing everything it can to destroy one of our great resources – wild salmon.

Please sign this petition to try to prevent the sale of GMO salmon in Canada.

Flu Shots

Well another year is upon us that the Powers To Be are out there promoting and pushing these Flu shots on folks.  First off as most of you know, I don’t believe in them.  All the hype that has been put out to folks getting them to take this shot as far as I am concerned isn’t worth a grain of salt.  The day is coming I believe that a lot of folks will pay dearly.  In saying this I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think so.  The best defence against the cold and flu is to stay warm, eat right,, fresh air, don’t touch your hands anywhere near your face and wash your hands for two minutes when arriving home from being out in public.  Also one can take some extra precautions by taking a good brand of vitamin D 3.  I have done this for over forty years and have never caught the Flu.  Colds is hard to eliminate though as most folks never stay home till they are well.  Seems folks today just don’t care any-more, other than for themselves.   Harsh point but the truth.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Antibacterial Soaps & Things

Well been awhile since my last post.  Not that there is anything wrong, just been busy with other things.  Today in the news they now are saying something that I have been trying to tell folks for years.  If anything it causes more problems than it fixes.  In saying this I am afraid it has already done a great deal of harm to us humans.  Take a look at the article.

After more than 40 years of study, the U.S. government said Monday it has no evidence that the antibacterial chemicals used in countless common soaps and washes help prevent the spread of germs, and it is reviewing research suggesting they may pose health risks.
The best thing one can do to prevent colds and flu’s is wash your hands using a good natural soap, don’t touch your eyes, ears or mouth when out in public, eat right and stay warm.  Never I an I say never let yourself get cold.  Head especially along with your throat and feet.  Do this and you will stay relatively healthy through out the winter months, when there is no sun to protect us.  For your counter tops when cooking use straight vinegar. Nothing on this planet is any better.  Enjoy your day.  GW

Statin Drugs For Cholesterol

For years I have said that these satin drugs folks are taking for Cholesterol  are in for some problems down the road aways with sore muscles and all kinds of things going wrong.  Take a look at this article out today. http://www.naturalnews.com/041605_statin_drugs_breast_cancer_prostate.html

My believe is that there is no such thing as bad Cholesterol. One needs the so called bad as well as the good to stay healthy. What needs to be done is folks have to make some life style changes in their life.

Cholesterol Treatments

The use of high potency versions of cholesterol lowering drugs called statins may increase a person’s risk of developing kidney failure, a new study suggests.

This article explains a bit of what these drugs can do to a person.  I believe there is no such thing as bad cholesterol.  Our body needs both good and so called bad to survive. The drugs they use today to treat cholesterol in my eyes shouldn’t be taken.  To each their own though, but before you do decide to go on these drugs.  Why not ask others that are taking these drugs how they are feeling since they started taking them. I have and every one that I have talked to has had some problem, be it, muscle problems, Joints to many to name. Now kidney problems. I am sure there are many more that haven’t surfaced yet.  Best thing one could do is to change your lifestyle,   Get good nutrition into your body and lots of exercise with lots of sunshine thrown in for good measure. I wouldn’t hesitate to bet that if every one did that, most illnesses and disease would cease to exist.

Cancer

 In the news today.   Is the war on cancer an ‘utter failure’?: A sobering look at how billions in research money is spent  http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/03/15/war-on-cancer/

Well of course it is a failure. Today as I keep on saying time and time again that it all boils down to money. They today have gotten into their minds that the treatments today that they have been using for numerous years like chemotherapy, radiation and things like that are the answer where as they in my eyes are wrong.  I myself also believe that most pharmaceutical drugs cause more problems than they fix. They some of the so called specialists care not to venture any further with new ideas, especially those that relate to nature.  Nature is all around us as is the diseases.  Doesn’t take a scientist to see that.  I don’t blame all doctors though as it is all they know, all they have been taught.  Today they have blinders on and like a young child they rebel and want things all their own way and refuse to look at what is the truth.  Not all though but most.  There is some good doctors out there today that choose to use both ways bringing together what needs to be done.  Using nature along with common sense.  It’s a shame when one relays strictly on others when they can for most parts fix most things themselves.  Again I don’t blame them as it is all they know.  I just hope that the doctors that does have vision, makes headways into finding out  what one needs. Or I should say has the whit and stamina to bring forth the truth.  Most of all these good doctors know, but hold back in fear of, well I think you all know.  For most parts I believe the remedies are within our reach but most choose not to look or seek them out.  My Opinion Only.

Problems With Modern Day Medicine & Treatments

This next article is about radiation and cancer. First off for myself I believe that no radiation or chemo is good for anyone suffering from cancer or what ever for that matter. From all I have read and folks that i have talked to in the long run it only makes things worse to bad.  Folks have to realize that for most parts cancer is brought on by our life style that we have or live today.  I will say this though. The sooner we find out we have cancer or any other disease the sooner we can treat them ourselves using natural treatments that are there for all to use along with good common sense. Meaning; Change a few things like healthy eating, exercise and bringing forth a good frame of mind.  I have seen time an time again folks taking routes to health by using a lot of our modern day medicines with results that end up being….. well lets just leave it at that.  They say that folks shouldn’t panic.  Well in my eyes they should. Like food . A little pesticide in our food is OK they say, but in reality it isn’t.  Reason being that there is pesticides in every thing we eat pretty well, all but organic and some of that we have to watch as they treat some organic apples and pears with antibiotics and over time we get more that our body can handle, then problems arise.  Same as ex-rays, tests like Colonoscopy.  Endoscopy, Biopsies.  For no Reason other than speculation, Mammograms, too many to name. All of these in my eyes could be eliminated or used only when absolutely necessary. All are also in my eyes dangerous and should be thought on very carefully before going ahead.  There is alternatives some just outside your door, just most today don’t know where to look.  Like Dandelion Roots & Chaga two of the very best.  I for one believe we should use  modern day means to find out what is ailing us, then go ahead and treat ourselves by ourselves. No one and I mean no one, knows our body better than ourselves. No Brag just Fact.  At any rate that is my view on things for this morning and remember. My Opinion Only.  Here is the article

Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later, even with the lower doses used today, troubling new research suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades, doctors found.

Patients shouldn’t panic — radiation has improved cancer survival, (I Don’t Believe This For One Second) and that is the top priority, doctors say. The chance of suffering a radiation-induced heart problem is fairly small

New St. Catharines Ontario Hospital

Well new hospitals being built and opened all over Canada these days. Billions of dollars being spent.  Is it a good thing. Well I would say yes in some respects, but one has to remember that a Hospital is only as good as the people that works there and in saying that, I will say no more on the new hospital part.  I also believe that, if most our money was put into seeking out natural cures, eating right, exercise outside in the fresh air, soaking up sunshine, along with living a good life style, that most of these hospitals wouldn’t be needed.  My Opinion Only.

Pharmacists should Hand Out ‘energy shots?

 In the news today:  Pharmacists should dispense ‘energy shots,’ expert says.  Can you believe that.  My point of view is that all this is, is another way for these companies to make money and make it look like natural medicines aren’t good for you along with them having full control over you.  In reality;  one if doing the research; would soon find out that Natural  is the way to go. After doing your home work of course.  Today these so called powers that be, have folks  so scared that they hate to walk out the door without seeing a doctor.   Most cures for what ails us is just outside your door, through nature, just waiting to be found and used.  Some folks say my way of thinking is out to lunch. I say this to those that sneers at my way of thinking. Years ago these so called high uppity ups thought the world was flat too.  Things will change believe me. I see it happening more and more every day.  People are wising up, especially the younger ones.  My hat goes off to them.  One also has to remember in time; these young ones will be in power.  Scares the heck out of the our Powers That Be today.  I am lovin’ it.  My opinion only.
