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

As the weekend winds its way out of here and on to another week I find myself thinking about spring and seed germinating, way before it's time. Our weather has been warm for the last week and that makes me and the earth think it is spring. Green is springing heads through the ground and if my guess is right we will have trees blossoming soon, which isn't good. That will mean no fruit on them this next year... I see where other parts of the country is suffering normal to abnormal cold weather, so mother nature is being very fickled again... Enjoy what's left of the weekend and if you haven't already taken your day of rest it's now or never for this week!

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

While no one knows the exact connection between humor and healing we do know that laughter...

* Improves the immune system's function.
* Raises and then lowers our heart rate and blood pressure, similar to aerobic exercise.
* Relaxes our muscles.
* Oxygenates the blood, so we think and feel better after a laugh.

15 minutes a day of laughter will keep the doctor away and as well as a healthy body!

Begin at the Beginning with CLEAN WATER

Relying on the way your water looks, tastes or smells is a mistake. Dangerous levels of contaminants that damage your health are measured in parts per million or billion, something that the human senses of taste, smell and sight cannot detect. A case in point: In some states, the FDA recently reported the widespread tainting of milk and lettuce with rocket fuel. But the contaminated milk and lettuce regulators examined looks, tastes and smells perfectly fine. Read Water Should Be Healthy

However, there's one thing average water filter company doesn't mention. Even if their filter removes contaminants from the water you drink, you're still exposed to contaminated water when you:

*Inhale steam from a shower
*Bathe
*Wash your hands
*Wear laundry washed in contaminated water
*Eat and drink from plates, glasses and utensils washed in contaminated water

A whole house system is the best answer but if that isn't possible have a shower filter and kitchen filter for bathing, cooking and washing dishes...

Get either
1.Whole house unit
or
2. House/Apartment counter top kitchen filter and ShowerMate shower filter that removes all those bacteria and chemical drugs coming through you water... These two will solve all but the laundry problem...

CPR Often Performed Inadequately
Jan 18, 2005
By LINDSEY TANNER

CHICAGO (AP) - CPR is often performed inadequately by doctors, paramedics and nurses, according to two studies of resuscitation efforts during cardiac arrest.

Whether a stricken patient is in the hospital or on the way, the guidelines for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation frequently are not followed.

Among the problems commonly cited: Rescuers did not push hard enough or frequently enough on the victim's chest to restart the heart, and breathed air into the lungs too often - either mouth-to-mouth or through breathing tubes.

Both studies used an experimental monitor that assesses CPR quality, and both received funding from Laerdal Medical Corp., a Norwegian company that developed the device with Philips Medical Systems.

The studies appear in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.

The researchers explained that skills learned in the classroom can fall by the wayside in the stress-filled chaos of a real-life emergency. Also, they noted that chest compressions strong enough to break ribs are sometimes required, and rescuers can tire quickly.

In one of the studies, involving 67 adult patients at the University of Chicago, doctors and nurses failed to follow at least one CPR guideline 80 percent of the time. Failure to follow several guidelines was common.

"Patients who had it perfectly done were in the distinct minority," said Dr. Benjamin Abella, one of the researchers.

The other study involved 176 adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated by paramedics and nurse anesthetists in Stockholm, Sweden; Akershus, Norway; and London. Chest compressions were done only half the time, and most were too shallow.

More than 600,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest each year in North America and Europe. The heart suddenly stops beating, either because of a heart attack or other underlying heart disease.

The combination heart monitor and defibrillator used in the studies includes a small sensor that attaches to the patient's chest and evaluates depth of chest compressions and other aspects of CPR. The monitor includes an automated voice that provides on-the-spot coaching, telling rescuers when chest compressions are not strong enough or frequent enough. But that feature was not used during the studies.

Both studies were too small to determine whether using the device saved lives, but the Chicago researchers said it could improve patients' survival chances.

"Without a device that gives you feedback in the heat of the moment, you can't drive an airplane that way - and we can't take care of sick critical patients without the appropriate monitors," said the study's leader, Dr. Lance Becker, director of the university's emergency resuscitation research center.

The device is approved for experimental use in the United States, and the manufacturer is seeking Food and Drug Administration permission to sell it commercially in this country.

While other studies have found CPR techniques lacking, the JAMA studies are the first using a monitor to evaluate "what's going on during real cardiac arrests and in real people," said American Heart Association spokesman Vinay Nadkarni. "It's outstanding information."

The studies will be taken up at a medical conference next week in Dallas that could lead to an update of the CPR guidelines, Nadkarni said.

The studies add to evidence that the guidelines need to be simplified so that they "can be readily used in the real world," Drs. Gordon Ewy and Arthur Sanders, emergency medicine specialists at the University of Arizona, said in an accompanying editorial.

LENA'S COMMENT: If you want to prevent this problem from being your problem simply do the things that can most assure that your health is the best it can be and may keep you out of this situation!!!

I'm missing those nice little orange, yellowish green fruits that use to grow in our back yard in Southern California. It was easy to walk out and pull a few off the tree and eat them as a snack during the day or put in a bag to take to work for a morning or afternoon snack. We had two different types; the normal kumquat – small yellowish orange colored - and Limequates – greenish yellow color, both the shape and size of bird eggs - growing in our back yard that were absolutely refreshing and different and were ready for picking throughout the winter months. I loved slicing them into fruit salads as well as fresh off the trees as a snack. Tangy insides with a sweet peel, so different from other citrus that require peeling before eating.

Kumquats, also called Cumquat, kinkan or Fortunella crassifolia or as Chinese call them

Gold Oranges, are the fruits that are produced from small family of evergreen trees, similar to an orange tree, that grows to a height of 10 - 15 feet. Our kumquat and limequat trees were miniature and only about 5 feet tall but never failed to be loaded with fruit… Kumquats are truly the tiny jewels of the citrus kingdom. The bite-size fruit, which are eaten skin and all is a wonderful combination of tangy and sweet flavors unique to themselves. The seeds, similar to the seed of the orange with a distinctive green color, should not be eaten, but contain pectin, which can be removed by boiling for use in making jams and jellies.

Kumquat is a small little fruit that is said to be native to China and Indochina, where the trees can grow up to 10ft, and are much appreciated for their beauty and fruits. Dwarf kumquat trees are specially cultivated in pots for the Chinese New Year celebrations, when its fruits are used as edible decorations. In the U.S. they are mostly cultivated in California, Florida and the Gulf Coast. Slightly bigger than a Brazil nut, they have a thick sweet peel and a tart pulp. Excellent in marmalades, jellies, crystallized, minced or whole. They make an interesting addition to salads or in sweet and sour dishes.

Has the minerals that most citrus contain such as; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium along with the Vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, folic acid, niacin, Thiamin and riboflavin. Making it very citrus but also a calming soothing food. So when you are out of sorts have a few kumquats!

Winter fruits that can brighten up a dreary winter day. Compact and bite-sized, you can eat kumquats as you would a grape. Just wash them and pop in your mouth. They're also nice in salads or as a garnish in drinks. They have a tangy citrus flavor and can be used in any dish that calls for oranges or grapefruit. Kumquats are high in fiber and vitamin C. There are variations of kumquats such as orangequats, lemonquats, and limequats. So no recipes as we like them raw…

If you live in an area where you are privy to having access to the kumquat family take advantage of these healthy little citrus fruits.

How's Your Direction Finder?

There's not a lot understood about why some people have a great sense of direction and others don't.

But a group of researchers published a report in the British Medical Journal that might offer a clue. They suggested that a sense of direction might be associated with the pineal gland, the gland that produces melatonin.

The researchers studied 760 patients, of whom 394 showed calcium deposits in their pineal glands. They rated the subjects' sense of direction on a scale of 1 to 10.

The subjects who didn't have calcium deposits had an average score of 7.6, while people with calcium deposits couldn't score better than an average of 3.7.

To prove their point, the researchers tried the same study with homing pigeons. Pigeons with normal glands found their way home with no trouble. Those with calcium in their pineal glands got lost.
