I'm off on another soap box today. Anybody dumb enough to smoke in bed HAS the right to burn themselves up, but I don't need to poison myself for the rest of my life to protect that stupidity. I lost my breathe for a moment when I read the information at http://www.peopleforcleanbeds.org. Unnecessarily putting more chemicals directly into our life and the life of our children is grossly negligent and stupid... Do you realize what this is going to do to children with asthma and allergies who sleep on that bedding? If you want to comment to the law-makers stupidity, mailto:cpsc-os@cpsc.gov In your comment, be sure to put "Mattress NPR" in the subject line.

Every 4th person in North America has heart disease.
Every 60 seconds someone dies.
Stroke and heart attacks are the number one killers!
Yet recent research shows this killer disease may be prevented or reversed in as little as 30 days.

Circulatory Support Formula in conjunction with Balanced Minerals is the path to a healthy heart and arteries...

Curt Furberg, M.D., was one of the panel members who did not have any drug company ties. He told the New York Times that during deliberations, he didn't feel comfortable with "the Pfizer-friendly undertone" of the meetings. By Dr. Furberg's estimate, as many as 50 people each day may die as a result of taking these drugs. He posed this question to the Times, "Who is speaking for them?"

Go On, Laugh Your Heart Out
By NICHOLAS BAKALAR
March 8, 2005 www.nytimes.com

Laughter may be good for your heart. A new study demonstrates that laughing causes the tissue that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, the endothelium, to expand and thereby increase blood flow - exactly what aerobic exercise does.

In a study presented yesterday at the meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Orlando, researchers had 20 healthy volunteers watch a 15-minute segment from "Kingpin," a 1996 Woody Harrelson comedy, and then 48 hours later view the opening battle scene from "Saving Private Ryan," the 1998 war movie starring Tom Hanks.

After each movie was shown, researchers used ultrasound to measure changes in blood vessel reactivity. On average, blood flow increased 22 percent after the Harrelson movie, comparable to the increase brought on by aerobic exercise, and decreased 35 percent after "Saving Private Ryan."

While a comedy can be good for people, a stress-inducing movie can have a negative effect on cardiac health, said Dr. Michael Miller, the lead author of the study.

"There is great variability among people," Dr. Miller said, "but anything that evokes an emotional response has an impact on the heart" and the impact can be negative as well as positive.

Dr. Miller speculates that laughter induces the release of beneficial endorphins, just as exercise does. But don't hang up the sneakers yet.

"Laughter may help reduce the need to run marathons," said Dr. Miller. "But we don't recommend replacing exercise with laughter as a public health measure."

LENA'S COMMENT: No need to wonder sourpusses die sooner than happy people! Laughter, the key to lots of health problems not just the heart, was proven many years ago. Any person with a serious illness needs to pile up comedy movies and laugh for a minimum of 15 minutes a day...

Can be slightly sweet or very sour depending on which species you choose. A strange looking, bumpy, unique, waxy, golden yellow to green fruit that has a 5 pointed star shape when cut across the middle of the fruit, ranging from 3 to 5 inches long with four to six deep lengthwise grooves, is popular in many countries. When it is sliced crosswise, the slices are shaped like stars, thus its common name, star fruit. Citrus nutrients similar to other exotic citrus!

Tart varieties generally have narrowly spaced ribs; sweet varieties have thick, fleshy ribs. Originally from Sri Lanka and the Moluccas, and cultivated in Southeast Asia and Malaysia for several hundred years. An excellent source of vitamin C, supplying 35% of the Daily Value in 3 1/2 ounces, which is equal to a small whole fruit or about 2/3 cup sliced. I was unable to find more distinct vitamins and minerals listed in any of the University extensions that usually list those things but the statement; "Nutrients similar to other citrus fruits"...

Handle with care! They bruise easily. Star fruit (the sweet variety) can be eaten out of hand or sliced and used as a garnish or in salads. They are also used in chutney, curries and tarts. The juice can be used in tropical drinks and smoothies. Star fruit is easy to prepare, because it does not require peeling or seeding. It can be eaten out of hand after it has been washed. Spray with vinegar and wash under cold running water. Cut it crosswise into thin slices. If the skin is unappealing, though it doesn't affect the tatste, simply peel it off with a paring knife.

Ripe fruit should be stored at room temperature for two to three days or refrigerated, unwashed, in a tightly covered container or plastic bag for up to one week.

Healthy properties are said to, reduce fever and cough in common cold; relieve kidney and bladder stones, shrink hemorrhoids and relieve painful urination and hemorrhoids. It is claimed that eating the fruit reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics. In Chinese medicine, they are used as a diuretic. WARNING: persons in dialysis should take care when eating star fruit as some cases of intoxication, insomnia and hiccups to agitation, mental confusion and - in one case death - two people went into renal (kidney) failure after eating star fruit . Both recovered four weeks later after hemodialysis… Also do not eat on an empty stomach or if in dehydrated state as the star fruit may pose an additional risk for development of renal injury.

2 star fruit
2 kiwis
2 bananas
1 cup mango fruit nectar
1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
Makes 4 servings.

Peel kiwi and banana, cut into medium size pieces. Slice star fruit into ¼-inch thickness. Combine all fruits in bowl. Add nectar over mixture. Refrigerate for 3 hours. Top with vanilla yogurt.

Drinking the juice alone and unmixed with other fruits or vegetables not recommended! Two people – age not given - are reported to have developed nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and backache within hours of ingesting large quantities of sour carambola juice; then acute renal failure followed that required dialysis.

Some People Do Not Read This Ezine!

I again have had people contact me in this last week asking if the symptoms they are exhibiting are normal when beginning their health protocol but each one had a different health problem. There was one key that brought them together. Each one had started a natural herbal and mineral health rehabilitation a few days earlier. That step will bring on detoxing effects for 99 out of 100. Our herbal and mineral protocols, which each one had began, automatically will start the detoxing process immediately for those 99 that are toxic whether from medications, foods consumed or other environmental settings.

In answer to their question; Those symptoms are a good sign, that you needed detoxing and here are some of those symptoms exhibited when beginning an effective detoxing or natural health building or repair program;

- HEADACHES - indicative of toxins from food chemicals, pesticides, polluted environments and/or prescription drug over-medication.

- SKIN RASHES - skin care, chlorine bathing and other body products that have absorbed below the skin's surface and is coming out in rash form.

- CONSTIPATION (not common but does happen) - indication that toxins have accumulated in the lower intestinal tract and is indicative of dehydration and/or lack of natural oils and fats. You must increase water intake, and increase your liquid minerals by - 1 teaspoon a day, also supplement with probiotics to balance the intestinal bacteria.

- DIARRHEA (very common) - toxins escaping via the bowels and indicative of an imbalance of nutrients, which will require correction with supplements or eating more raw fruits and vegetables as soon as your detoxing fast is completed.

- FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS - A symptom of just how toxic you were and/or you have an immune system illness and detoxing is pulling toxins from the entire body, excreting through the urine, bowels, and blood as well as through the skin all at the same time.

- MALAISE - toxins exiting the body can sometimes be compared to a short-term illness. Make sure you get plenty of rest. Be patient and maintain faith, while allowing your body to cleanse and begin recovery!

Detoxing is something that every body needs to do following a long winter of sedentary life and I will be giving you a simple protocol for doing that within the next few weeks.

People who do detoxing are usually looking for a healthier life and seven proven steps to health can be found at Steps To Health

Be healthy happy and live long,
Lena
