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

The environmental regulation in the U.S. (EPA) Basically is a "prove harm" system -- anything goes until someone can "line up the dead bodies" and prove that significant harm is occurring. When that happens, which is rare, then a multi-year, or multi-decade, battle begins in which underfunded and understaffed government regulators bargain with a phalanx of corporate lawyers and scientists-for-hire. Eventually they hammer out a compromise between public health and corporate purposes. The compromise becomes an enforceable regulation --until one corporation or another decides to mount a challenge and the dance begins anew. Years before we have answers and in the meantime people die!

We hear early detection and early treatment can save lives. That may be the case in some instances but in at least one that has been proven to be not so!

Delayed Intervention may Combat Overtreatment of Prostate Cancer

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Delaying surgery for small prostate tumors is not associated with lowered curability, according to a new study. In fact, delaying surgical treatment could help some prostate cancer patients avoid a surgery that can cause impotence and urination problems for several years with the same result as immediate surgery.

The study, from researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, reveals the risk of noncurable prostate cancer is the same for men receiving immediate surgical treatment as those who waited -- on average -- two years before surgery.

Researchers say the men chosen for delayed treatment should be carefully selected. They say the window of cure does not close immediately if the treatment is delayed.

They started enrolling men in this study in 1995. For the next 10 years, they compared the results from men who waited for treatment and men who went ahead and had surgery. When compared to men who waited only three months, men who waited approximately two years had the same rate of survivability.

Some other researchers say postponing surgery could shift the patient past the point where their cancer could be treated successfully.

Gluten-free, Grain Alternative and Nutrient Rich:

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;
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

For breakfast add a bit of honey and butter or fruit for a great stick-to-the-stomach breakfast grain!

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

Spring Cleaning Is As Important To Your Body As It Is To Your House!
© By Lena Sanchez

As most women know if you let a house go without periodic cleanings you will find that the furniture and walls lose their luster and brightness and will rot and need to be replaced faster. So too does our body! Trouble there is we don't have a replacement body!!

Example why:
We had elderly neighbors who lived by us for about 20 years that covered all their furniture with cloth and plastic to keep them clean. She figured she wouldn't have to do spring-cleaning other than remove the covers and shake off the dust. She thought that was the way to have less work at her age and it was but the consequences were not so pretty!

They had one stuffed chair each that they used in the living room and nothing else was used since all their friends had died years before and had no visitors. When he died, his wife became bedfast and we took her in to take care of until she died and then my husband and I were left the job of disposing of their estate. We went in to set up an estate sale but just about everything we moved started to fall apart as we touched it. All except for the two chairs the bed, stove and dining table they had used and cleaned regularly? We sat down on the couch to contemplate where to start and the couch ripped apart under us? Mind you all those things looked great and you would think they were in top condition!

Same thing happens with our body if we don't use it and clean it properly. You may not realize it until one day it rips apart too by becoming ill! Use it or lose it! Clean it periodically or it will rot and you will become ill!

Yes, there is the necessity for an Internal Spring Cleaning of our body. Why? Just as a home, shut up for the cold winter, builds up stale air and stagnant dust and mites. The body too needs a total spring cleaning to shine, feel and look bright for the warm weather ahead. Clean out the stale cobwebs of winter and let your organs work properly.

Winter is the time we usually sit in front of the fire keeping warm and indulging on fatty fried foods and baking up those sweet goodies that helps heat the house when the oven is on... It seems as though our body crave certain fatty, sweet heavy types of comfort food in the cold months. Those holidays didn't help either! Those comfort foods also act as a mechanism for insulating us from the cold? Very few of us have access to hot houses with fresh fruits and vegetables where we can run right out and pick fresh daily during the cold weather. Nor can we all live in Southern California or Florida where we have access to them daily and therefore the body starts to become clogged and stagnant. Results are that our internal body builds up stagnate poisons and toxins and needs to be removed before causing serious illnesses.

In some primitive cultures it is a ritual that each person goes through each spring that announces the beginning of a better life and assures a healthier one as well... With our modern world this has been forgotten in most all cultures... Just as a spring housecleaning gives our house a lift while preserving it, so does our body, when given a spring cleansing. Since our bodies are considered the temples of our souls it stands to reason that a healthy body makes for a healthy mind as well!

Here are some of the tools used for that Internal Spring Cleaning:

Start with EXERCISE: a good brisk walk 4 to 6 days a week to stimulate your body to cooperate with the herbs? Start with a 15 or 20-minute walk and work up to 30 to 45 minutes? Don't forget to stretch your leg muscles before starting the walk!

If you are unable to walk there are chair exercises that can be done to get the body moving. For those of you that are confined to bed in order to get the blood moving by doing brisk rubbing of each individual part of your body first thing on awaking, or have someone give you a deep tissue massage. Who knows, after a few days of this tissue message/cleansing you may be able to get up and around!

Not all of the following herbs are necessary but by combining them you will find a faster and more thorough cleansing effect, which will leave you feeling invigorated simply because your body's systems can function better.

ALFALFA: Cleanses and builds the blood

BLACK WALNUT: An effective treatment for intestinal worms and parasites. It helps to remove the fatty materials and toxic buildup in the body out of the body.

CASCARA SAGRADA: Increases the secretions of the stomach, liver and pancreas which expel poisonous secretions. In the Spanish language it is called sacred bark due to its potent cleansing and laxative qualities.

DANDELION ROOT: Most of us that have lawns have an abundant supply of this and it is an excellent liver detoxifier simple pick a few and add to your salad.

FENUGREEK: Encourages the removal of toxic waste from the lymphatic system and lungs.

GOLDENSEAL: A detoxifier of the blood, liver, kidneys and skin. Also very effective in treating amoebic dysentery (giardia) when used over a ten-day period. Should not be used longer than ten days at a time.

HAWTHORN BERRY: Great for strengthening the heart and a fantastic digestive aid which helps to utilize the nutrients ingested.

LICORICE ROOT: Known as the great detoxifier; it strengthens digestion and detoxes poisons built up in the gastrointestinal system.

MILK THISTLE: One of the most potent liver protecting herbs. Over 100 studies have shown that this herb not only protects the liver but generate new liver cells. Milk Thistle is a strong cleanser and inhibits free radicals. Works by drinking the tea or in a chopped milk thistle capsule?

MULLEIN: Known for its expectorant and soothing properties to the lungs and other internal organs.

PARSLEY: Not only attractive when decorating your food but a great diuretic and also aids in the digestion system.

RED CLOVER: Known for its blood purifiers and also clears the skin and used to treat inflamed lungs.

YELLOW DOCK: Touted for its purifying properties that cleanse the skin, liver and blood. Used as a tonic and laxative but also builds the blood and helps treat anemia.

In my Internal Spring Cleaning I have found that formulas from Wayne Garlands arsenal of natural Chinese Herbal Formulas called "Cellular Cleanse" does the best for me. Cellular Cleansing includes the above herbs in the proper portions and includes minerals and nutrients to rebuild the body while cleansing. I take 3 capsules three times a day for 10 days and feel refreshed and relaxed.

I also use 6 - 10 Cellular Cleansing capsules at bedtime, if I have a sore throat or feel congested and overnight, as if by magic, the virus doesn't materialize. Works every time! The herbal formulas gives my body a boost of energy and keeps me going year round as well, because I take a bottle of each every three to four months to assure my body gets maximum cleansing and protection. In essence spring-cleaning for me is quarterly...

Enhance the body's spring cleaning with your foods.

To enhance the Internal Spring Cleaning eat three or four meals following the cellular cleansing with mostly dark green vegetables. My favorites are, swiss chard, kale, spinach or mustard greens lightly steamed with a touch of lemon juice and lemon pepper. Even better when all are mixed with chopped sweet onion...

Now get your body in-tune to enjoy the warm weather and give your body the oomph to enjoy the summer outings!

ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~^~^~^

HIDDEN DATA

"Industry criticised OSHA for not having data about the effects of low-level exposure, when industry in fact had that data and was hiding it," Michaels said.

The film "Erin Brockovich" focused on the dangers of contact with hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium VI, through polluted water. The current matter deals with airborne chromium VI that some 380,000 US workers might inhale on the job.

At present, there is no OSHA standard for how much chromium is acceptable in American factories; the only standard that exists dates from 1943, when the maximum on-the-job dose was set to prevent "nasal perforation" and skin irritations.

That 63-year-old standard is 52 micrograms per cubic meter of air. In 2004, OSHA proposed a standard of 1 microgram per cubic meter, and has been collecting data on it since then, from industry and other groups. The watchdog group Public Citizen asked for a 0.25 microgram per cubic meter level.

OSHA estimated that a 1 microgram level would cause two to nine excess deaths for every 1,000 workers exposed during their lifetimes, above the agency's target of one excess death per 1,000 workers.

If the level is raised to 5 micrograms, OSHA estimated it would cause five to 45 excess deaths for every 1,000 workers.

An OSHA spokesperson declined to comment about what the decision might be, except to say the agency expected to meet the Tuesday deadline, as ordered by a federal court.

Michaels said the issue is broader than the chromium VI case.

"I'm hoping that the entire system rethinks the role of industry in providing scientific data," he said. "I'd like to see rules that say ... if industry participates in regulatory proceedings, they have an obligation to provide all relevant data, not just the data that supports their position."
