Caduceus symbol: Kind Of Makes A Person Think, But It Tells The Truth I Guess

Now here is symbol that everyone sees at least once a week or so.  It’s put on lots of things that the big pharmaceuticals sell.  So … I got to thinking on the subject and decided to see what this symbol really means.  Here is what it says and with that I will leave the rest of the story up to you.  My Opinion Only

Here is the write-up on the subject.  Everywhere in western medicine you find the Caduceus symbol: It’s the staff entwined with two serpents, with wings at the top. You’ll find it emblazoned on medical texts, medical school certificates, medical websites and even in hospitals and medical buildings.

But what does the symbol mean, exactly?

The Caduceus, it turns out, was a staff carried by the Greek god Hermes. Hermes is best known as the messenger of the gods, but he is also well known as the protector of liars, gamblers and thieves. He’s also prominently known as the guide of the dead.

When A Soft Drink Comes To Mind, Think, Aspartame

You know, I was reading the paper the other day and spotted this article about the schools here in Ontario are thinking they might not allow regular soft drinks in the schools anymore, unless they only sell the diet kind with Aspartame.  Now being an old farmer, I got to thinking about them few words. As over the years I have dealt with all kinds of poisons, pesticides and things.  Through my eyes, Aspartame is not a good thing to be putting into anyone’s body, especially our young ones.  It has been found to  lead to the degeneration of brain cells and various mental disorders, according to a research review conducted at the University of Pretoria and the University of Limpopo and published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.  But myself I think it does a lot more than just that once in your body.  Now that is just a couple places that has done some research on the stuff, there are hundreds more.  But it doesn’t take a scientist to see how dangerous Aspartame is.  How would I know? Well, here is a simple experiment you could try which will show you how dangerous this stuff really is.   Just take a few packages and sprinkle it around an Ant Hill.  The ants will take the sweetener  back to their nest, which in turn after just a few short days kill the whole nest.  Kind of makes you think doesn’t it.  The best you can do, if you so desire a soft drink, is to drink the regular kind, not the one with aspartame in it, along with remembering the word, moderation.    I firmly believe, that today these so called health officials all got blinders on. and as my old Dad used to say. “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” Hey! I like a good old coke every once in a while, as well as the next guy or gal.  So … when I seen this article I just had to, well you all know, yep, let you know my opinion on the subject.

Black Fly Season Is Upon Us Here In The North

Well I got to tell you, them old black flies are sure out there with a vengeance this year.   I just hill-ed up my tomatoes and moved a few things around a bit in my veggie garden and looking down at my pant legs I seen they were just covered.  They are pretty smart too, as they like to climb up under your clothes and have lunch.   The doctor told me I was looking good the other day, when I went in for a visit, saying. “You must be outside a lot George, as you have lost your winter weight.”  I said, “Yep, but I think the reason for loosing a bit of weight is that the black flies are carrying me off a little at a time.”   They don’t usually bother me to much, but they sure love my wife.  Reason being they like to get into her hair and hide.  Thing one has to remember is, not to put on any smelly soaps or perfumes.   Folks that wear them things up here in our neck of the woods are just asking for trouble, as they can smell you a mile away, and they know it’s humans they are smelling too.  But they will soon be gone as I spotted a couple dragon flies, and once they  get to eating it doesn’t take them long to clean them up.   Also the bats eat a lot of skitters, so don’t be trying to rid your back yard of them.  Also remember, if you got some Comfrey growing in your back yard, it is one of the best things you can put on your bites and things, as it will stop the itch within minutes.  Also buy up some ivory soap and wash your face and hands with it as the bugs doesn’t like the smell.  Mothers Day to Fathers Day I always say that’s when the black flies are at their worst.   So………………there you go, will talk at you all a bit later.  Thinking, nice cup of coffee now and watch my wife dust the house.  Rough life huh???

Merck Pushing HPV Vaccine

Now I find this an interesting topic.  Thing is we have to take control of our own life’s and not let these drug companies dictate to us what we should be or should not be doing these days.  My opinion only.

Take a look: Currently, Merck is still hawking its Gardasil vaccine to young girls (in spite of all of the adverse effects that have been reported) and also wants it to be used on older women and even young boys. In light of all of the Vioxx news, how many people will want to roll up their sleeves? Parents really must think seriously about whether they should trust the health of their children to companies that have a history of putting profits ahead of people.

Things One Can Do For A Healthy Body.

You know for years now, I have tried my hardest to figure out natural things that fight diseases and things without taking prescription drugs. If one would ask me what the biggest of all the things that one could do,  I would say this.  First off, I think we all eat to much protein.   Some comes from beans which is not so bad, but most comes from meat.  Now don’t get me wrong, I  like a good old steak just like the next fellow or gal, just that I kind of figure that we shouldn’t be eating as much.  I have maybe one steak every four months, if that.  I would have to say that if we cut back on the protein we would all be a lot better off.  One reason is that protein covers our cells which some would say is a good thing. I say not so, as it also covers cancer cells.  So the problems then arises I figure, as our bodies defences can’t get through the protein to kill the cancer cells,  which gives cancer a chance to grow and spread.  If we didn’t eat as much protein, the cancer cells would be vulnerable and well our bodies defences wouldn’t let them spread.  Now how does one get to eating things that eat protein.  Well simple. The next time you are at the grocery store, instead of stocking up with meat, especially red meat, by pass it, and get right to the part that is good for you.  Yep the veggie section.  Once you get into eating more veggies you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel.  Just one more reason to get out there and get your own garden to growing.  But as I always say, if you can’t get to planting a garden then try and buy organic. Seeking out a good old farmer and buying directly from him, would be a step in the right direction.  So there you  go, a bit on my feelings of what one simple thing a person can do to prevent them nasty diseases from getting to you.  Final note. I believe with all my heart, that finding a cure for cancer isn’t the answer. It’s preventing it.  But saying that i also believe one can beat it too. Not with radiation, or all them drugs they keep pushing on one, but with just using common sense.  I for the life of me can’t understand why anyone would subject themselves to all them side effects, but hey who am I?  My opinion only.
