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

Westernized traditional medicine is supposed to be the best in the world. BUT IS IT REALLY? According to a new study, more people die from "treatable conditions" in the United States than in any other "leading" industrialized nation. The study, according to researchers writing in the journal Health Affairs, ranked the U.S. last out of 19 other industrial nations. The best? France, Japan, and Australia.

DEVELOP THE TOUGHEST IMMUNE SYSTEM POSSIBLE!

A note from Wayne Garland, N.D. founder of Master Formulas

"Not since the devastating Great Plague of yesteryear has mankind faced such a barrage of epidemic diseases as we do now. And the GREATEST IRONY OF ALL is this is despite all the trillion upon trillion of dollars that have been BURNT developing so-called "breakthrough" vaccines, drugs and therapies. I think we are going backwards. And fast. The most fundamental answer to all of this is to have the STRONGEST IMMUNE SYSTEM possible, delivered drug free. We think we have the answer. No, I correct myself. WE KNOW WE HAVE THE ANSWER."

100% SUCCESS TRACK RECORD TREATING AIDS.

"When I first started our company, I gave of myself and our formulas to those who desperately needed them, FOR FREE. This was a present back for having survived terminal Cancer myself. Our first efforts were with the famous ASHANTI FOUNDATION of San Francisco, working with terminal AIDS patients. Over six years, working with 27 wonderful men and women who used my therapies and formulas, free of charge, WE DID NOT LOSE ONE SINGLE PERSON. They were off all drug therapy and just used what we prescribed. No drug company can boast that success. We continue this work to this day. Now, some 22 years later, all this work and this passion has been crammed into an amazing NEW formulation that we are releasing today. It is called "IMMUNE SUPPORT FORMULA." And it could very well be the world's most complete and most powerful immune system in a bottle."

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE FOLLOWING

Several new products claiming to be "natural sweeteners" are set to launch this year, starting with one called Cweet.

It starts out natural enough: This product is primarily derived from an African plant called brazzein. But in order to patent it, the manufacturers have to chemically alter it in some way -- a point that's barely acknowledged in most of the information I've read about it.

For example, at the tail end of one of the articles on this new "natural" sweetener comes the following revelation: "?A series of patents have been filed on the ingredient?Some of these reference a synthetically produced peptide."

Which makes Cweet about as natural as its spelling.

But Cweet's manufacturer claims that since they're using the brazzein fruit as the basis for the product, they can justify referring to it as "natural." So they're forging ahead with their plans to get Cweet on the market later this year, after the FDA has reviewed its application for GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Gluten-free, Grain Alternative and Nutrient Rich:

A couple of nights ago my husband asked me what Quinoa was so all I had to do was let him read this weeks Food...

One of the grains, relatively unknown, tops in nutrients, is Quinoa. Pronounced keen-wah, this grain is grown in the Andes Mountains in South America where it was once a staple food for the Incas.

Quinoa has a delicious light, nutty flavor. When it cooks, the grain opens up to make tiny spirals. Quinoa contains all eight amino acids and therefore has better protein value than most grains. A nutrient-dense grain; perfect for those who have elevated needs, such as pregnant or nursing mothers.

Vegetarians and people with food allergies will find quinoa a welcome choice; it's gluten-free and provides a remarkable array of nutrients.

It's a complete protein, comparable to milk, according to the World Health Organization. For anybody who has an interest in health?and for the many people who have allergies to common grains?it's a delicious alternative."

Quinoa's greatest hurdle is that it's still relatively unknown to many cooks, even those with an interest in whole foods and natural approaches. For the many people who have limited food choices now you can use quinoa.

A simple recipe for preparing quinoa breakfast dish;
1 cup quinoa
Pinch of sea salt
1 3/4 cups water

Rinse quinoa well with warm water and drain. Quinoa has a natural coating called saponin that repels insects and birds that creates a bitter taste. Rinsing with warm water removes the saponin.

Place rinsed quinoa, salt, and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer 15-20 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Makes 2 1/2-3 cups

Makes a great stick-to-the-stomach breakfast dish. Add a bit of honey and butter or fruit!

Healthy and nourishing adding a bit of change to the diet is great.

Can You Separate Health from Happiness?
By Lena Sanchez

NO would be the correct answer! We can learn from history!

Way back in my day there was a stage and movie production called Guys and Dolls, you may have heard of it, and in it Adelaide sang "a person can develop a cold just from waiting around year after year for her boyfriend to marry her." There was always laughter when she sang that phrase, but now many years later it has been shown to be the truth. Ohio researchers found, many years ago as has many since then, that an argument in the morning could mean a cold in the evening.

Also that same research team found that students cramming for exams ended up in the same situation. Dead immune system created by stress and lack of rest has campuses all across the world ending up with lots of viral illnesses during final exams week! If you are a student or getting ready for any exam don't get caught with a dead immune system! Take time for laughter, healthy diet and plenty of rest!

Why?

FACT - happiness and laughter strengthens your immune system making you safe from illness and disease!

FACT - Stress, depression and unhappiness weakens your immune system and opens you up for disease!

FACT - Stress and unhappiness releases a ton of free radicals, the cancer causing critters in the body just waiting to be released and make you seriously ill!

Supplements needed to keep the immune system strong Balanced Minerals and Immune Support formula made up of lots of immune building herbs and nutrients! If you can't find them anywhere contact me for my choices

Risk Of Permafrost Thaw A "Wild Card" In Warming - UN
February 21, 2008

MONACO - A thaw of Arctic permafrost is a "wild card" that could stoke global warming by releasing vast frozen stores of greenhouse gases, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said on Wednesday.

More research was urgently needed into the possibility of a runaway release of methane, a powerful heat-trapping gas trapped in frozen soils in Siberia, Canada, Alaska and Nordic nations, it said in a 2008 yearbook issued at 154-nation talks in Monaco.

"The unknowns about the amount and rate of methane release from the thawing Arctic makes it a wild card when considering climate change risks," UNEP head Achim Steiner said in an annual report with a special section on Arctic methane.

UNEP said that global methane emissions from all sources, both natural and caused by human activities, were estimated at 500-600 million tonnes a year. A quarter to a third was emitted from the wet Arctic soils, where microbes produce methane.

Arctic methane emissions were projected to at least double during the 21st century, partly because of an increase in wetlands caused by thawing of permafrost, it said.

"The balance of evidence suggests that Arctic feedbacks that amplify warming, globally and regionally, will dominate during the next 50 to 100 years," it said.

Vast amounts of methane entering the atmosphere "would lead to abrupt changes in the climate that would likely be irreversible," UNEP said. "We must not cross that threshold."

Global warming, blamed mainly on human burning of fossil fuels that produce heat-trapping carbon dioxide, is projected to bring more floods, droughts and to raise world sea levels. Methane is the number two greenhouse gas from human activity.

"A potentially very large Arctic source of methane to the atmosphere is the decay of organic matter in the form of dead plant, animal and microbial remains that have been frozen in shallow permafrost for tens of thousands of years," it said.

"This important source of atmospheric methane is not currently considered in modelled projections," it said.

Another vast source of methane is in icy deposits known as methane hydrates, often in sediments deep under the world's oceans. Such hydrates store more carbon than all the proven reserves of coal, oil and gas and could also thaw, UNEP said.

Temperatures in the Arctic are rising by about twice the global average -- darker ground and seawater, when exposed, soak up far more heat than reflective ice and snow.
