It is winter in our part of the world again. Cold wet and snow flurries. A perfect time to stay in front of the wood fire and read. That's what I have planned for today, how about you? Well, not totally, I have my tree to take down and put away. 14 and 19 year old Grandkids came in Wednesday keeping me occupied and haven't removed my decorated tree, so will find time to do that before settling in for a good book... 

Those two grandchildren came in from California with colds, nausea, sore throat, diarrhea and swollen glands that came on suddenly after they left. The last three hours of their drive was not pleasant, according to my daughter. We got them on the silver water, herbs and probiotics as soon as they arrived... Got them through the whole unhappy process in less than 24 hours, even the swollen glands and sore throat disappeared. I am always so amazed at what silver water does... We had a pleasant time after the first 12 hours... 

Here's hoping you are warm, cozy and healthy...

Something To Think About

The Cow Jumped Over the U.S.D.A.
By ERIC SCHLOSSER

Published: January 2, 2004


Lisa Harrison has worked tirelessly the last two weeks to spread the message that bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, is not a risk to American consumers. As spokeswoman for Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman, Ms. Harrison has helped guide news coverage of the mad cow crisis, issuing statements, managing press conferences and reassuring the world that American beef is safe. 

For her, it's a familiar message. Before joining the department, Ms. Harrison was director of public relations for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the beef industry's largest trade group, where she battled government food safety efforts, criticized Oprah Winfrey for raising health questions about American hamburgers, and sent out press releases with titles like "Mad Cow Disease Not a Problem in the U.S."

Ms. Harrison may well be a decent and sincere person who feels she has the public's best interest at heart. Nonetheless, her effortless transition from the cattlemen's lobby to the Agriculture Department is a fine symbol of all that is wrong with America's food safety system. Right now you'd have a hard time finding a federal agency more completely dominated by the industry it was created to regulate. Dale Moore, Ms. Veneman's chief of staff, was previously the chief lobbyist for the cattlemen's association. Other veterans of that group have high-ranking jobs at the department, as do former meat-packing executives and a former president of the National Pork Producers Council. 

The Agriculture Department has a dual, often contradictory mandate: to promote the sale of meat on behalf of American producers and to guarantee that American meat is safe on behalf of consumers. For too long the emphasis has been on commerce, at the expense of safety. The safeguards against mad cow that Ms. Veneman announced on Tuesday — including the elimination of "downer cattle" (cows that cannot walk) from the food chain, the removal of high-risk material like spinal cords from meat processing, the promise to introduce a system to trace cattle back to the ranch — have long been demanded by consumer groups. Their belated introduction seems to have been largely motivated by the desire to have foreign countries lift restrictions on American beef imports.

Worse, on Wednesday Ms. Veneman ruled out the the most important step to protect Americans from mad cow disease: a large-scale program to test the nation's cattle for bovine spongiform encephalopathy. 

The beef industry has fought for nearly two decades against government testing for any dangerous pathogens, and it isn't hard to guess why: when there is no true grasp of how far and wide a food-borne pathogen has spread, there's no obligation to bear the cost of dealing with it.

The United States Department of Agriculture is by no means the first such body to be captured by industry groups. In Europe and Japan the spread of disease was facilitated by the repeated failure of government ministries to act on behalf of consumers.

Health SECRET of the Ages!

God has provided everything for our health needs as recorded back to the early biblical times. America turned to chemicals right after World War II due to ignorance and greed and look what has resulted: Cancer, Heart Disease, Alzheimer (hardly heard of before the war) and many maladies due to poor nutrition in our food.

Receive a FREE audio tape by calling or emailing us. Part of the tape explains the healing power of frankincense and myrrh (immune builders) and why the Three Wise Men delivered these oils to Mary and Joseph as a gift to the Christ child Jesus. These anointing oils were healing oils in biblical times and are again today.

Don't reject the anointing (healing) oils God has put on this earth for our health.

The Wonderful Health Benefits of Traditionally Lacto-Fermented Foods


Olives, pickles, grass-fed cheese, wine, yogurt, sauerkraut, natural yogurt without sugar and seasoned, aged sausages the French call “charcuterie” are some of this category’s most popular delicacies. 


Though the term “fermented” sounds vaguely distasteful, the results of this ancient preparation and preservation technique -- produced through the breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins by microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and molds -- are actually delicious. Even more so, they are so beneficial to overall health that some of these “functional foods” are now considered to be “probiotics,” increasing your overall nutrition, promoting the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria, and aiding digestion and supporting immune function, including an increase in B vitamins (even Vitamin B12), omega-3 fatty acids, digestive enzymes, lactase and lactic acid, and other immune chemicals that fight off harmful bacteria and even cancer cells.


Not All Fermented Is What It is Cracked Up To Be!

Fermentation is an inconsistent process so commercial food processors developed techniques to help standardize more consistent yields. Technically, anything that is “brined” in a salt stock is fermented, but that’s where the similarity ends, as each type of fermented food has specific, unique requirements and production methods. 

Refrigeration, high-heat pasteurization and vinegar’s acidic pH all slow or halt the fermentation and enzymatic processes. “If you leave a jar of pickles that is still fermenting at room temperature on the kitchen counter, they will continue to ferment and produce CO2, possibly blowing off the lid or exploding the jar,” explains Richard Henschel of Pickle Packers International, which is why, of course, all “shelf-stable” pickles are pasteurized.


It’s probably not surprising that our culture has traded many of the benefits of these healthy foods for the convenience of mass-produced pickles and other cultured foods. Some olives, such as most canned California-style black olives, for instance, are not generally fermented, but are simply treated with lye to remove the bitterness, packed in salt and canned. Olive producers can now hold olives in salt-free brines by using an acidic solution of lactic acid, acetic acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, a long way off from the old time natural lactic-acid fermenting method of salt alone. 


Some pickles are simply packed in salt, vinegar and pasteurized. Many yogurts are so laden with sugar that they are little more than puddings. Unfortunately, these modern techniques effectively kill off all the lactic acid producing bacteria and short-circuit their important and traditional contribution to intestinal and overall health.

Fermented (probiotic)foods are necessary for health! If you do not get it with foods get it in a total formula. My choice is http://www.envirodocs.com/probiotic.htm

THE EPIDEMIC ISN’T GOING AWAY!
© By Lena Sanchez

If you had lived during the early 1900s, you probably wouldn't
have known what a heart attack was. Virtually no one ever 
experienced one back then. Although doctors knew about 
cancer, a doctor rarely saw a case of cancer. Thanks to diet 
and lifestyle changes that have occurred just since World 
War II, these two diseases have quickly become the killers 
of our day and everyone knows about them. 

Then more recent changes in our diets (better known as 
lack of decent diets), we are seeing the early signs of another 
huge health problem. That problem is vision loss and 
blindness. The general public has no clue that this is 
happening. More alarming is the fact that no one seems 
to have an answer to stopping it. There is a very small 
handful of ophthalmologists who were alarmed at the rising 
disease set about to do something about it.

Coming from growing up expecting to be blind in my later 
years, due to an inherited gene, as most of my father's family 
were and are, I prepared for that fate. So I can understand 
the true gift of sight. I am fortunate in that I had an 
ophthalmologists who would not touch my eyes until he was 
fairly sure he could do something about it and did. In 
January 2000, I under went one surgery and then another 
followed in February 2000 and I now see better than I ever 
have my whole life. Amazing!!! So no greater gift could be 
had than the gift of vision. By that same token losing your 
sight can be totally devastating. The inability to cope with 
it have driven many into a life of loneliness and unhappiness.

The problem is, that most of you are sitting here reading 
this saying it can never happen to me. WRONG, it is 
happening at an alarming rate and the epidemic is not 
curable with surgery or our pharmaceutical companies 
magic pills! The epidemic I am speaking of is "Macular 
Degeneration (AMD)” and “Glaucoma." Already AMD is 
leading cause of blindness with Glaucoma in a close 
second in the U.S. The situation is far worse in the 
U.K. I am told. By the year 2025 it is expected that more
than 30 million people will have AMD…

AMD is a deterioration of the macula, a very sensitive 
area on the back inner portion of your eye. Light passes 
through the lens of the eye and is focused on the macula. 
Then the optic nerve sends visual signals from there 
directly to the brain. If your macula becomes damaged, 
you lose the central portion of your vision. You will not be 
able to read fine print or focus on small details, which 
enable you to see a familiar face among the throngs. 
Without realizing it you will not see true colors as they are 
and many more inconsistencies. The loss of vision in the 
middle can slowly become more increased or swiftly 
almost overnight become increased until your vision will 
be as a donut with the hole missing. 

There are two forms of Macular Degeneration. The most 
common is the dry form. Small blobs of fatty proteins are 
deposited in the macular region. These blobs block the small 
blood vessels feeding the macula, and choke off the oxygen 
and nutrients that supply this portion of the eye causing 
blindness. First may appear small middle area blindness 
and become worse with time.

The wet form of Macular Degeneration involves the invasion 
of new blood vessels into the macula. The new vessels leak 
fluid, which has no place to go. It remains in the eye and 
permanently damages the macula again causing blindness. 
This form usually seems to occur overnight when in reality it 
did not. To get there takes a history of nutritional imbalance!

Conventional medicine has no treatment or cure of Macula 
Degeneration. They only think they know what causes it!
What they do seem to know is that smokers are at the top 
of the list. Next comes the inclusion of fatty diet as well as 
lack of proper nutrition. Free radical formation from our diet 
and environmental toxins. But they really like to blame it on 
aging, which really doesn’t have to be a consideration at all. 
Regular Aspirin usage. Regular Prescription usage. 
Artificial sweeteners carry a lot of damage by creating a lot 
of free-radical damage and one very strong reason is lack 
of hydration (not drinking sufficient water).


Alternative medicine has come to the rescue again as found 
by a handful of ophthalmologist in Japan and Italy along with 
Drs. Leland Michael, Ralph Zehner and Merill Allen of the 
Indiana University School of Optometry. They have all found 
that everywhere that the traditional diets are still practiced a 
very low incidence to no incidence of Macular Degeneration 
occur. But the rest of the world where the modern diets are 
popular it is raging out of control in epidemic proportions. 

What To Do?

Besides watching your diet and avoiding drugs, fake fats,
refined carbohydrates and aspirin, there is a nutritional 
regimen found to work with Macular Degeneration. 

Nutritional supplements used in a study of several hundred 
patients. Each patient involved in the studies received the 
following daily supplements. Half in the morning an half in 
the evening. 

Beta-carotene 40,000 units   Vitamin E (natural) 400 IU 
Vitamin C 1,500 mg              Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex 250mg
Quercetin 100 mg                 Bilberry extract 10 mg 
Rutin 100 mg                        Zinc 25 mg
Selenium 100 mcg                Taurine 200 mg
N-acetylcysteine 200 mg      L-glutathione 10 mg
Vitamin B2 50 mg

In 1996 My friend Gil found that his middle vision was distorted 
and for several days lived with the confusion caused by it until 
he saw his Ophthalmologist who sent him to a retinal specialist.

The specialist diagnosed AMD and told him there wasn't much 
that could be done about it and sometime in the future he would 
become blind. He did not take this diagnosis lying down and went 
home and started taking an herbal formula he had obtained a 
short time before… At the end of the week his vision had 
returned to normal and when he saw the Retinologist the next 
visit, the doctor confirmed that Macular Degeneration had 
subsided. Today his vision has continues to be normal with 
no relapse. He even has had to decrease the strength of his 
bifocals twice. Check out his story
 
Don’t wait for the problem to strike you act now and correct the 
habits that make you a target for AMD or Glaucoma!

Silver-colored Cars Are Safest

Car colour and risk of car crash injury: population based case control study by S. Furness in the December 20, 2003 issue of the British Medical Journal found silver-colored cars are 50% less likely to be involved in a crash resulting in serious injury than white cars. Green, black, and brown cars had twice the risk of being involved in a serious injury crash than white cars. Thus silver cars are four times safer than green, black, and brown cars. The data, gathered between April 1998 and June 1999, come from Auckland, New Zealand. No reason was given for these findings, but from my observation, it appears lighter and brighter colored cars (silver, yellow and white) are safer than darker cars (green, black and brown).
