Greetings and thank you for reading A Natural Environmental Health Facts ezine!

The end of another weeks looms in front of me and I'm still amazed at how fast the weeks seems to fly by, which I shouldn't be as my grandmother told me that would be the case... I wish you a relaxing and health refurbishing weekend...

In proofing today's ezine I'm somewhat appalled as it seems like a lot of negatives exist here, but I have to pass them on... "Forewarned is Forearmed." as my mother use to say... You don't see these things in the mainstream media as it seems the mainstream have completely dumbed up andgone silent on things we really need to know about that will affect our life and health and only with digging can you find the dangers that lurk in medicine today... I have saved you some digging time, if you are really intersted in knowing the truths, by publishing these informational's here!

Something To Think About
============================

Scientific research has shown that a low potassium intake might be associated with a higher mortality rate from stroke.

Some animal studies have also found that a lower potassium level after a stroke may increase the amount of tissue damage in the brain.

That's a mineral! If you are deficient in one you are probably deficient in many!

High potassium content can be found in fruits such as bananas, apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon and citrus fruits. Vegetables with good amounts of potassium include asparagus, potatoes, green beans, lima beans, and cauliflower. Other potassium containing foods are: grain products, red meat, poultry, seafood and dry beans, such as peas and lentils.

Girl takes Children's Motrin, goes blind and sues Johnson & Johnson

A 6-year-old child recently developed blindness after taking a recommended dose of Children's Motrin.

The tragedy started when the girl had come home from school with a fever and headache her parents gave her a recommended dose of Children's Motrin. However, instead of "curing" her the drug led to an acute allergic reaction known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome -- a rare, violent allergic immune system response that causes fever and blistering, which may affect the cornea and other parts of the eye.

The very next day the girl was rushed to the hospital and placed in an intensive care unit with a high fever and a rash that covered her back, trunk and other parts of her body. Her eyes were infected so badly that the ophthalmologist had to force them open, causing the girl unbearable, severe pain.

Two days later she was completely blind.

More than 230 operations later, the young girl is still unable to independently open her eyes and suffers from photosensitivity, or over-sensitivity to light.

She and her family have filed a suit against Johnson & Johnson, accusing the firm of knowing fully that the drug could lead to disastrous side effects, yet failed to warn consumers. The family's complaint for damages accuses the firm of:

*Negligence
*Strict product liability
*Deceit by concealment
*Breach of express and implied warranties

"In the name of children everywhere, our family wants Children's Motrin taken off the market until it carries a warning label about the risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and describes its symptoms," said Joan Brierton Johnson. "Had there been appropriate warnings on the Children's Motrin that we gave Sabrina, we would have known what to look for and would have known to stop giving her the drug and call a doctor. Johnson & Johnson and the other Defendants never gave us that opportunity, and our precious little girl now lives literally and figuratively in the dark."

"This lawsuit is the only warning label that the public is going to get until Johnson & Johnson re-labels Children's Motrin," stated Browne Greene, "so that it carries a warning about the dangers of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. We hope that families around the world will take heed and toss out any Children's Motrin that's in their medicine cabinets and demand that stores pull it off their shelves. The alleged benefits of Children's Motrin do not outweigh exposing any child to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and its dire consequences. Better safe than sorry."

This tangy flavorful herb/food/flavoring is an oriental favorite and mine also!

It's a perennial herb Zingiber Officionale or commonly English name Gingerroot. In the fresh Gingerroot state, it has a characteristic staghorn-like appearance; dried ginger is usually sold in form of off-white to very light brown powder or fresh whole or pieces. Ginger root is a rhizome or underground stem and not considered an actual root. Depending on the location it is being grown at, it is harvested nearly year-round. It is ready for harvest about five months after planting. The early harvests are used for ginger syrup and candied ginger. The later harvests are usually sold as fresh ginger. It becomes hotter and spicier, and better for homeopathic remedies, the longer it is in the ground.

Ginger leaves are occasionally used for flavoring in ginger producing countries.

Ginger and turmeric combine with citrus and maple syrup to make the perfect blend of healing nutrients.

The English botanist William Roscoe (1753-1831) gave the plant the name of Zingiber officinale in an 1807 publication. The ginger family is a tropical group especially abundant in Indo-Malaysia, consisting of more than 1200 plant species. The genus Zingiber includes about 85 species of aromatic herbs from East Asia and tropical Australia. The name of the genus, Zingiber, derives from a Sanskrit word denoting "horn-shaped," in reference to the protrusions on the rhizome. Major world producers include Fiji, India, Jamaica, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and China. American imports come from China, several Caribbean Islands, Africa, Central America, Brazil, and Australia. Ginger is now commercially cultivated in nearly every tropical and subtropical country in the world with arable land for export crops. While in Hawaii last April I was privy to see ginger growing in all it's beauty and several organic plots for personal use as well as for sale... Fresh ginger and dried ginger are considered two different commodities. In fact, one author of an early Chinese herbal felt that they were so different that they must come from two different plants! The dried root is known as Gan-jiang. The fresh root is called Sheng-jiang.

Ginger having been around so long that its exact origin is unclear.

It reached the West at least two thousand years ago, recorded as a subject of a Roman tax in the second century after being imported via the Red Sea to Alexandria. Tariff duties appear in the records of Marseilles in 1228 and in Paris by 1296. Ginger is known in England before the Norman Conquest, as it is commonly found in the 11th century Anglo-Saxon leech books. Ginger is detailed in a 13th century work, "Physicians of Myddvai," a collection of recipes and prescriptions written by a physician, Rhiwallon, and his three sons, by mandate of Rhys Gryg, prince of South Wales (who died in 1233). By the 13th and 14th centuries it was familiar to English palates, and next to pepper, was the most popular spice. A pound of ginger was then valued at the price of one sheep. Ginger, as a product of the Far East, was indelibly imprinted on the taste buds of Westerners before potatoes, tomatoes, and corn were even known to exist by Europeans.

Medicinal properties

Ginger has been used for centuries in treating the common cold. Additionally, it is an effective analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-viral agent. Asian cultures believe it prevents them from maladies found in most countries such as hypertension, and in the prevention of atherosclerosis. Other known benefits of ginger include its ability to cleanse the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate circulation, and aid metabolism. Many have used it to treat colitis, nausea, gas, indigestion, bowel disorders, morning sickness, motion sickness, vomiting, congestion, fever, and headaches. In spite of Westernized medicine moving in on them Asian medicine still, for the most part, uses it as a treatment for asthma, shortness of breath, water retention, earache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Homeopathic practitioners even recommend it for sexual disorders. In some cultures over the centuries it has been credited with the ability to treat arthritis, fevers, and toothaches. It is said to have the ability to prevent internal blood clots. An added benefit to Ginger is that it is a strong antioxidant and effective microbial agent for sores and wounds.

Ginger in protecting and soothing the digestive system increases the pH of stomach acid, reducing its acidity, thereby naturally lowers the rate of gastric secretions, and increasing digestive enzyme activity. Rather than blocking the feelings of nausea in the brain, it acts directly on the stomach and liver to reduce nausea and vomiting. Ginger tincture - root is soaked in alcohol and water - sometimes labeled as "drops" or "extracts" - are available in health and natural food stores. Recommended ten to twenty drops of ginger tincture in a little water with meals to counteract indigestion or help fight early symptoms of cold or flu.

Ginger root herb has no known harmful side effects, and is viewed as a very safe herb. However, it has been known to cause heartburn in some people. If such occurs, reduce dosage and try again or discontinue use.

In most American Asian restaurants shredded fresh ginger is offered as a condiment to dishes and is found to be a common flavoring in most of their dishes. Since I have not been to the orient I cannot absolutely say how it is served over there.

Many people like raw ginger. Sometimes people will soak ginger in water for several hours then added to the dish immediately before serving. This gives it a more fresh, spicy and pungent taste. The freshness decreases and the pungency increases when fresh ginger is cooked. Often times, ginger is ground up into a powder and used in curries and spice pastes.

Slices of ginger are used quite often to flavor foods that need to simmer for long periods of time. The reason ginger is good for this is because the slices release their flavor quite slowly.

Ginger tea can be made by cooking slices of fresh ginger in water for a few minutes. It is a spicy and healthy drink that can be enjoyed in hot tropical climates or in freezing cold climates. Below is a great tasting and healthy detoxing, pain relieving and refreshing tea!

Ginger Healing Detox Tea with Turmeric

INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon powdered turmeric
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Juice of 1/2 lemon

1. Bring water to a boil, then add powdered herbs (1/8 teaspoon shredded ginger may be used in place of powder). Simmer for 10 - 20 minutes.
2. Strain tea into a mug, add maple syrup and lemon, stirring to combine. Drink warm.

Makes 1 serving.

Enjoy this pleasant food/herb/medicinal in all kinds of cookies, cakes, tea, drinks or as a condiment with fish or fruits. I add a small piece of fresh root to my juicer when I juice apples and carrots together for a very pleasant flavor enhancer and nutrient enrichment.

350 Million Class-action Lawsuit Against Secretary of Defense for Aspartame Killer?

Much controversy has surrounded the issue of whether or not the artificial sweetener aspartame is safe for consumption. However, the hot debate has reached an all-time high, as a $350-million class-action lawsuit has been filed in order to prove how deadly aspartame consumption truly is to the human body.

Also included in the lawsuit is the central role played by Donald Rumsfeld, current United States Secretary of Defense, in helping to get aspartame approved through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Plaintiffs claim that, despite objections of numerous FDA health researchers and negative studies, Rumsfeld used his political power and influence to get aspartame approved by the FDA.

Those charged in the lawsuit are being accused of knowingly using the neurotoxic aspartame as a sugar substitute in the manufacture of Equal, while fully aware that consumption of it could lead to a plethora of health problems.

"Unsweetened" Health Problems Linked to Aspartame

Death
Arthritis
Brain cancer
Memory loss
Hearing loss
Hypertension
Abdominal pain
Headache/Migraines

According to the affidavit, the doctor directing the studies -- which showed conclusive evidence that the artificial sweetener caused critical health problems and even death -- has been missing since aspartame's approval in 1984. All records of the studies, including filed notes and/or translations, have been destroyed.

Defendants stand firm in their belief that aspartame consumption is not harmful to humans.

The artificial sweetener can be found in more than 5,000 food products and all diet soft drinks sold in the United States.

LENA'S COMMENT: A sad commentary of what money and power does to your health! Aspartame was successfully kept off the market for over ten years prior to GD Searle hiring Donald Rumsfeld as their CEO. Shortly after he was hired aspartame was approved through an unbelievable conflict of interest. Several FDA commissioners that voted against approving aspartame were replaced by those who voted for it and got it approved. Shortly after aspartame approval these same FDA commissioners were given cushy jobs with quarter million dollar salaries as a reward for their help. Looks suspicious? To me it does! Many, many years down the road this may or may not come to trial but for now you should not touch aspartame with even a sniff!
