Greetings and thank you for subscribing! I do hope you are able to skirt around all those who wish to make your life a joke today with all their April Fools antics! I won't do that to you though!

Enjoy the upcoming weekend but take time for true rest and relaxation as your body needs it! This weekend is daylight savings time again, except for Arizona and a couple of small county areas of the U.S. So don't forget to do that. The rule to follow is "Spring ahead" "Fall Back" meaning set your clock ahead one hour this weekend, losing an hour and set it back one hour in the fall to gain that hour back... This is an archaic thing that continues even though it no longer serves the purpose that it was intended to do. We now have electricity, tractors with lights and the ability to use darkness as much as daylight...

Prescriptions on the Rise

If you ever wonder why that line at your local pharmacy is always out the door, here's a small clue.

Seems the use of polypharmacy, which means administering three or more drugs to the same patient, has shot up dramatically.

* Between 1974 and 1979, only about 3 percent of patients had at least three drugs prescribed.
* From 1980 to 1984, the number rose to slightly more than 9 percent.
* Between 1985 and 1989, almost 35 percent of discharge patients were given free or more drugs.
* Between 1990 and 1995, the number rose to almost 44 percent
* And between 1995 and 2001, the number rose to 64 percent

3 IN 4 HAVE SLEEP PROBLEMS.

Survey reported by CNN today says SLEEP DEPRIVATION is now a CHRONIC EPIDEMIC. Experts say 75% have problems sleeping which effects relationships, work, driving and overall health.

CNN reported that a survey shows getting a good night's sleep is hard and nearly impossible for many adults and that often means poorer health, lower productivity on the job, more danger on the roads and a LESS VIBRANT SEX LIFE.

"By 3 to 4 in the afternoon, I'm starting to feel BRAIN-DRAINED and I need that caffeine to pick me up again," said Becky Moerien of Philadelphia.

No Need For that! MOTHER NATURE TO THE RESCUE!!!

DEEP SLEEP TRANQUILITY will put an end to all your sleeping deprivation in just one night!!

This formula was Dr. Wayne Garland's solution for all his pilot and aircrew friends who work at Delta Airlines in Salt Lake City, and it fixed them overnight!!!

Alarming Trend Endangering Your Child and My Grandchildren!

Caffeine and food additives are addictive killer drugs found in coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks, cereals, some fruit juices and even over-the-counter and prescription drugs. These dangerous, but socially accepted chemicals cause many problems for the body. When added together, as they usually are, the body is in a constant state of confusion.

Americans alone drink 137 billion cups of coffee annually. That is over 50 tons of caffeine per day! The average consumption of artificial food coloring and flavors is 327.6 mg. Testing is done at 27.0 mg. You might as well drink gas or oil, since food coloring is made from petroleum. Proving that the average diet is so far in danger even I have a hard time
comprehending it!

Food dyes and artificial additives are just as dangerous as Caffeine, but you never really hear about them! It the chemical worlds secret and they want it to stay that way. All of those have proven to be connected to a world of illnesses, not to mention they kill the immune system. Put the average daily consumption of caffeine, colorings and artificial flavorings together and we are looking at a world of ADD, ADHD, Autism, Asthmatics and a load of neurological problems!

More caffeine is consumed in the form of soda pops daily without adding all the rest of the chemicals. These products with caffeine, food colors, and artificial flavorings artificially stimulate the brain creating interruptions and increase the heart rate. A drop of caffeine on the head of a pin kills a mouse. 1/8 the mg of BHA & BHT fed to a mouse turned them into fighting, hyper, ill mice. While caffeine artificial stimulation temporarily arouses the intellect and fatigue seems to disappear, it is short-lived. The excess stimulation depletes the body of vital energy as it struggles to deal with this poison which has entered its system.

There are many effects from the consumption of caffeine, including increased incidence of bladder and stomach cancer, raised blood pressure, increased heart rate, and it aggravates diabetes and damages the lining of the stomach. Caffeine contributes to or causes birth defects in children, at least six kinds of cancer and provides the body with zero nutrition.

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.

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.

The GMO Menace
By Christian Zarro and Igor Cima, AlterNet.
March 25, 2005.

Genetic engineering may offer some benefits; but with the exception of nuclear energy, its threats to humanity are unparalleled within today's society.

There is conventional wisdom that genetic engineering will tremendously affect life in the 21st century. This technology, in fact, carries implications and impacts that are unprecedented in human history. It will permeate more and more aspects of human life, from reproduction and the cure of diseases, to solutions for the environment, to name but a few. Yet genetic engineering does not only comprise benefits, such as the opportunity to combat incurable illnesses, but also threats that, perhaps with the exception of nuclear energy, are unparalleled within today's society.

These menaces are primarily represented by the transgenic agriculture and the breeding of genetically engineered animals for nutritional purposes. Such kinds of practices are to be prevented for reasons that range from risks to human health and to the environment, to socio-economic aspects and to the fight against world hunger. In this article, we will examine the first two: the dangers to health and to the environment.

In spite of the constant reassurances provided by part of the scientific world and the political establishment on the harmlessness of GE foodstuffs, the consequences for human health still remain obscure.

Transgenesis - the process to create a genetically-modified organism (GMO) - consists of lab interventions which, through the insertion of genes and other hereditary sequences, aim to modify the organisms' genetic makeup. While this technique is relatively simple ? it is widely used in scientific circles ? it could lead to destabilizing effects for the modified organism. In contrast with what is generally sustained by the GMOs' supporters, the introduction of genes in fact triggers profound changes within the plant or animal species. The latter could react to the modification with unpredictable effects.

According to Gianni Tamino, biology professor at the University of Padua-Italy, through the random insertion of genes into the organism, transgenesis can alter the functioning of the genes that are already embedded within the living organism. The genes, explains the scholar, are interrelated with each other in a complex way, and when a new one is introduced, the functioning of all genes could result in being unsettled.

Referring to an important report released by the British General Medical Council in the first half of 2003, Michael Meacher, Great Britain's minister for the environment from 1997 to the beginning of 2003, asserts that such genetic material could activate silent genes present in the organism whose effects are unknown or, at worst, could even be toxic.

Potatoes and Lab Rats

With the benefit of hindsight, that is what may have occurred in Arpad Pusztai's highly controversial study. The well-known Hungarian biologist and his staff administered genetically engineered potatoes to lab rats. In the genetic makeup of the potatoes a gene was inserted that was destined to produce an insecticide. This resulted in the potatoes' DNA experiencing a deep transformation. At the same time, a second group of rats was fed with regular potatoes in which the same insecticide was mixed. In this case, without genetic manipulation.

The group fed with GE potatoes was found to have abnormalities on parts of the stomach as well as in the small and large intestine. In the second group, none whatsoever. It was not the insecticide that caused these abnormalities, but the process itself to modify the organism's genetic makeup - in short, the transgenesis - whose effect consisted of modifying the regular functioning of the hereditary makeup of the potatoes, which in turn brought up a toxic reaction for the rats.

Although Pusztai's experiment was strongly criticized by both biotech industry and a component of the British scientific establishment (mainly by scientists who had strong stakes in the biotech field), it identified the GMOs' problem very well. At issue is not the transgenesis per se, but the organism's reaction to it. How will the existing genes react to the newly inserted gene? Will there be any consequences for the organism? If yes, what kind of impact will result?
