It appears May Day came and went without much fanfare. The majority of you are too young to know it's significance but I remember, many many years ago, when May Day was celebrated by all the schools with special rite-of-passage ceremonies on each school ground. It appears it goes totally unnoticed now as I did not see a single mention on the news or newspapers. I'm not sure if that's bad as it really didn't have a purpose that I could ever see... It does appear that May in our part of the country is kicking off an early summer, which I had suspected would happen with our extremely mild winter. At the moment our fruit trees are loaded with new fruit so we are praying that they are not all killed with a frost, which is known to occur here right up until the end of May and sometimes into early June. If they do get to produce I shall have a very busy summer canning and freezing fruit. Great Organic fruit is such a healthy treat when you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for it...

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

Hiding The Head In The Sand Again?

A study that appeared last month in the New England Journal of Medicine led by a team from the Harvard School of Public Health. Researchers reviewed the results of a variety of trans-fats studies and came to these conclusions:
~ Adverse effects of trans-fats are "far stronger" on average than the negative effects of pesticide residues or food contaminants
~ Trans-fat consumption raises LDL cholesterol and lowers HDL cholesterol.
~ Trans-fats increase triglyceride levels
~ Trans-fats have been associated with a higher risk of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac death
~ In a 16-year study of more than 84,000 female nurses, trans-fat intake was linked to a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes

The Harvard team estimates that as much as 19 percent of the coronary heart disease events in the U.S. every year could be avoided with the elimination of trans-fats from our diets.

Trans-fats are everywhere in the typical Western diet. Deep-fried foods, margarines, bakery products and snack foods are the primary sources of trans-fats.

In the wake of growing awareness of trans-fat dangers, the FDA took action and issued new rules for the labeling of packages, effective January 1, 2006. And the rules are perfect for anyone who wants to pretend he's getting no trans-fats in his diet.

An article that appears on a Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) web site explains that manufacturers who produce foods with less than 0.5 grams of trans-fats per serving can make the claim that the food contains "zero" grams of trans-fats.

That's right: According to the FDA, 0.49 equals zero. So if you purchase some "heart healthy" crackers that contain "zero trans-fats," in just three servings you could easily consume a gram of trans-fats, even though the cracker label has assured you that the trans-fat content is zero.

Meanwhile, out here in the real world, there's a trans-fat detection method that's 100 percent reliable: If the ingredients panel of a product contains the word "hydrogenated," then the product contains trans-fats. If the word "hydrogenated" does not appear, look for the word "shortening," which is a tip that partially hydrogenated oils may have been used.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================

The first recorded successful blood transfusion occurred in England in 1665 when physician Richard Lower transfused blood from dog to dog. Two years later, in France, the first blood transfusion to a human occurred and caused a furor. Instead of human blood, lamb's blood was infused into the patient. The patient survived, but the outcry over what was perceived to be a violation of religious principles caused the practice to be outlawed.

On The Merry-go-round Of Drugs!
© By Lena Sanchez

I'm not here to scare you but to try and get you to think before you act on that medical treatment.

Prescription and OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, man has created and decided has all the answers to human ailments, are so far off the mark and creating a world of more illness and disease all by themselves!

For instances; A person with high blood pressure may typically be given three or four prescribed medications.

Most common treatment option used; One pill to cause the blood vessels to open up, thereby making the heart speed up, which is dangerous in itself. Then the doctor will give another prescribed medication to slow the heart down. The slowing down of the blood flow causes the body to retain fluid, creating swelling throughout the body, most often the lower limbs (legs, feet and ankles). That calls for a third prescription to remove the fluid in the body, called a water pill or diuretic. Oh yes, and men other side effects of the blood pressure lowering drugs is impotence. Back to the third prescription; the diuretic removes minerals and vitamins the body needs to function creating problems with vital organs as well as decimating the immune system... This in turn causes dizziness, weakness, and even headaches in a large number taking it. Loss of those nutrients most often raises cholesterol levels and then the doctor feels he/she must give a prescription for lowering cholesterol. Cholesterol lowering drugs are famous for further decimating the nutrient system creating bone and joint pain along with the other symptoms that are then in turn diagnosed most often as arthritis and more prescriptions are written. My reason for calling it "The merry-go-round drug effect"!

Second option used: Another class of hypertension drugs called beta blockers, which most often cause depression, hallucinations, insomnia, liver and kidney damage. This too creates circulatory problems that will result in swelling, loss of nutrients, etc. so goes the merry-go-round. And if you smoke, have any kind of respiratory problems, such as asthma, allergies then the beta blocker is even more dangerous making for not a lot of wellness in my book. Sadly all those drugs and your blood pressure could still remain high. So what have you accomplished? Nothing except setting yourself up for more serious problems!

This is just the tip of the iceberg with prescription and OTC drug treatments that the body is not designed to accept as natural, so it is forced to react in ways that can and do kill people minute by minute... That same scenario is played out hourly with a multitude of other perceived health problems through out most of the world and don't even ask me about the cancer treatments out there in traditional medicine. It would almost require a book to write about the horrific side effects and deaths occurring from chemotherapy and radiation. Those treatment success figures are; deaths from the treatment 60% and living through the treatments 40%.

Doesn't it make more sense to go with natural herbal/mineral treatments that the body recognizes as normal and natural and can work within the body to reverse the problems...

Think about it before accepting manmade drugs for your health problem!

16,000 Species Said to Face Extinction
May 1, 2006
By SAM CAGE

GENEVA (AP) - Polar bears and hippos are among more than 16,000 species of animals and plants threatened with global extinction, the World Conservation Union said Tuesday.

According to the Swiss-based conservation group, known by its acronym IUCN, the number of species classified as being in serious danger of extinction rose from about 15,500 in its previous "Red List" report, published in 2004.

The list includes one in three amphibians, a quarter of the world's mammals and coniferous trees, and one in eight birds, according to a preview of the 2006 Red List. The full report is published later this week.

"Biodiversity loss is increasing, not slowing down," said Achim Steiner, the conservation group's director general. "The implications of this trend for the productivity and resilience of ecosystems and the lives and livelihoods of billions of people who depend on them are far-reaching."

The Red List classifies about 40,000 species according to their risk of extinction and provides a searchable online database of the results. The total number of species on the planet is unknown, with 15 million being the most widely accepted estimate. Up to 1.8 million are known today.

People are the main reason for most species' decline, mainly through habitat destruction, according to IUCN.

Polar bears are threatened by global warming and melting ice caps, because they are conditioned for the icy environment and depend on Arctic ice floes for hunting seas. They are predicted to suffer a 30 percent population decline in the next 45 years.

The hippopotamus population in war-ravaged Congo, meanwhile, has plummeted by 95 percent, mainly because of unregulated hunting for meat and ivory in their teeth.

"Regional conflicts and political instability in some African countries have created hardship for many of the region's inhabitants, and the impact on wildlife has been equally devastating," said Jeffrey McNeely, chief scientist at IUCN.

Freshwater fish have suffered some of the most dramatic population declines because of human activities that damage their habitat, like forest clearance, pollution and water extraction. In the Mediterranean, more than half of the 252 endemic species are threatened with extinction. Seven species, including two relatives of carp, are already extinct, IUCN said.

The conservation union warned that the decline in wetlands and freshwater ecosystems will also damage supplies for humans of food, clean drinking water and sanitation.

Other species threatened with extinction include desert gazelles, ocean sharks and Mediterranean flowers, IUCN said.

Some 784 are listed as extinct - only a small increase from 2004 - while 65 are found only in captivity. But the situation looks a little brighter for some others, such as the white-tailed eagle and Indian vultures.

"Reversing this trend is possible, as numerous conservation success stories have proven," Steiner said. "Biodiversity cannot be saved by environmentalists alone - it must become the responsibility of everyone with the power and resources to act."
