Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug
that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health
Review," (1992).
The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000
chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer.
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead,
formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen
cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

Something To Think About
============================
The following is so scary I thought I was in a
movie and not reality, but then I realized it's real and not a movie and
truly scary that someone can take away our freedom of thought with a
drug! New Scientist reports;
Will New Drugs Threaten Your Freedom of Thought?
Have you ever thought about blocking painful memories from tormenting
your mind? Maybe you would be content if someone else opted to do it for
you. Experts said mind control has been becoming more clever with each
passing subliminal marketing message. The foundation of our
constitutional rights as U.S. citizens and freedom of thought have been
the most valuable of our legal freedoms, yet the most underdeveloped.
Types of neurotechnologies available include:
Several memory-enhancing drugs and other drugs made to help or lessen
painful memories from the past.
Propranol, a medication used to treat high blood pressure, was found to
reduce the memory of horrific events such as a plane crash.
Experts stressed the importance of giving people the choice to take the
mind-altering medication after a traumatic event. The example they cited
was the victim of a crime who might not want to remember the details of
the event, however may want to go to court to testify against their
attacker.
Potential coercion tactics in these neurotechnologies include:
Brain fingerprinting, a technology that picks up the P300 electrical
wave transmitted by the brain when the subject is shown images of
crimes. This has experts worried that law enforcement agents would use
this as a coercive device used to penetrate our own memory.
Hypersonic sound, a concentrated beam of sound used to market
advertising messages in a very personalized and invasive manner.
There has already been a legal victory over mind-control drugs as
follows:
A dentist was arrested and charged with fraud.
While in custody, they accused him of being psychotic and the U.S.
government wanted to forcibly give him an antipsychotic medication and
told him it was necessary in order to get a fair trial.
The Supreme Court ruled that mental integrity was an interest of the
person, however they didn't investigate the history of the freedom of
thought and how the future of freedom of thought relied upon keeping
integrity of neuroelectrochemical processes.
Experts believe the freedom of thought should be controlled by the
individual, not by the government. They also stated that individual
cognitive freedom has become the largest civil rights issue of this
century and their goal focused on rallying support from those who
believe firmly in freedom of thought.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency When You're All
Alone
There is nothing worse than being on your honeymoon, in-flight, on a
camping trip, or on a long car ride when it strikes -- an unrelenting
toothache so severe you feel like you want to die. Toothaches and other
dental inconveniences occur regardless of the fact that it may be 2 a.m.
or that your dentist is away on a Caribbean vacation. Knowing what to do
can prevent major discomfort.
Toothaches can range from a distressing inconvenience to an intense,
miserable experience. Severe, emergency dental pain may be as
unrelenting as kidney stones or even labor contractions. Fortunately,
the chance of an unforeseen dental crisis can usually be prevented by
early detection and treatment of dental disease. When dental disaster
does strike (and it always seems to be at the most inopportune time),
knowing how to alleviate the pain is invaluable information everyone can
use.
A toothache is any pain or soreness within or around a tooth, indicating
inflammation and possible infection. Generally, a toothache occurs if
tooth decay is very close to or has penetrated the pulp chamber that
contains nerves and tiny blood vessels. Ideally, it's best to undergo
dental treatment at once.
Dr. Bruce Freund is a cosmetic and general dentist in Englewood Cliffs,
N.J. Throughout his years in practice, he has heeded the call of many a
patient in dental distress. Dr. Freund has developed an arsenal of
at-home tips to help patients with toothaches and other emergencies
until they reach his dental chair.
"If your toothache is caused by trapped food, you should rinse the area
with warm water and swish it about. It may loosen whatever is causing
the pain. Alternatively, a cotton ball soaked in lime juice can be
placed on the tooth. You can also try using this poultice: Steep a
teaspoon of yarrow in hot water, drain the liquid with a piece of gauze,
and then put it on the tooth."
There are many over-the-counter pain relievers to cure toothaches that
you can choose from. Most common are paracetamol, aspirin and
acetaminophen. If you feel that a small swelling has occurred, you may
take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) for their
inflammatory components, like ibuprofen and mefenamic acid. However,
those with a history of ulcers as well as pregnant women need a doctor's
recommendation before taking NSAID and aspirin.
"Rubbing aspirin on your gums to numb an aching tooth isn't a good idea.
In fact, it'll do more harm than good," says Dr. Freund. He adds,
"Aspirin contains salicylic acid, which can burn and damage gum tissue.
For general pain relief, it's a better idea to simply swallow the
aspirin. Or stop by a pharmacy for pain-relieving gels like Anbesol or
Orajel."
Other home remedies for a toothache include rinsing your mouth with salt
water or dabbing some clove oil directly on the bad tooth. Clove oil has
bacteria-slaying properties, along with a remarkable numbing effect.
"We've used clove oil in dentistry for years," Freund says. "Clove oil
is responsible for that stereotypical dental office smell. Years ago, we
would dab clove oil over a tooth before putting a filling in it, but now
we have better ways of decreasing the sensitivity."
For another home remedy, there is numbing power in cooled peppermint
tea. Swish, then swallow if you like the flavor. "People can try putting
some ice on the area, but the temperature of the ice could send them
over the edge," cautions Dr. Freund.
"Most challenging are toothaches that stem from inside a tooth," he
adds. But in cases where a lost filling or a broken tooth is causing the
pain, "caulking" the sore tooth with softened chewing gum can ease the
pain -- covering the sensitive area until it can be repaired.
Dr. Freund also receives frequent complaints about canker sores. He
suggests that people with frequent canker sores check to see if their
toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS. SLS is a foaming
agent that in some studies has been linked to the development of canker
sores. "Toothpaste that doesn't contain SLS usually makes a big deal
about it by saying 'SLS free' on its label," says Dr. Freund.
An additional remedy for both canker sores and gum pain is tea tree oil.
Tea tree oil should be applied directly to the infected site and can
even be purchased in mouthwash form to soothe inflammation. Another
preventive measure for canker sores is to avoid eating chips and other
jagged foods that can cause tiny cuts and scrapes, which can be an
entryway for a virus to set up shop in your mouth. Besides that, stay
away from foods that trigger canker sores. Potential troublemakers
include whole wheat, rye, barley, shellfish, pineapple, chocolate and
tomatoes.
"About 80 percent of our population deals with gum problems -- from
gingivitis all the way up to losing teeth," according to Dr. Freund.
Ginseng can be used to alleviate the pain associated with irritated gum
tissue. A ginseng tonic can be directly applied to the gum to promote
circulation and speed healing. An additional home remedy suggestion is
to use a wet tea bag for tooth or gum pain. Tea contains astringent
tannins, which have the power to shrink swollen tissue and stop
bleeding.
No toothache will heal on its own. A toothache is a dental problem that
needs to be treated as soon as possible.
What should you do if you've knocked out a tooth -- whether from a blow,
a fall or an accident?
Shake off debris (rinsing or scrubbing could remove important
periodontal ligament), place it in a container of milk or back in its
socket and try to reach the dentist within 30 minutes. "Unfortunately,
not all teeth can be saved," cautions Dr. Freund. "Alternative methods,
such as a bridge or implants, may need to be considered."
What should you do if you've broken a tooth?
Again, if you've lost the broken piece, just get to the dentist. "If you
have it, gently shake off surface dirt and definitely keep it," says Dr.
Freund. "Even if the piece can't be bonded back to the original tooth,
it can be used to help re-create the look of that tooth."
If something (food, other foreign matter) is wedged between your teeth,
should you try to dislodge it?
Gentle flossing or brushing is fine, but if the object does not respond
to that treatment and the surrounding gum begins to swell, make an
appointment with your dentist. A bit of broken filling or chipped enamel
can throw your bite off and make you panic. Popcorn husks are one of the
worst offenders and occasionally need to be removed by a dentist.
What should you do if you lose a filling or crown?
If you lose a filling, it's not worth saving. However, just cover the
hole with temporary material, do not try to put the old filling back in
the tooth. If you lose a crown, you'll want to try and salvage it (you
can surprisingly use vaseline, denture adhesive or over-the-counter
temporary dental cement available in pharmacies to put the crown back in
place until you can reach a dentist). "In either case, visit the dentist
as soon as possible," says Dr. Freund. "Many people don't realize that
when a filling falls out, there's a reason for that, whether it's a
cracked tooth or more severe. You need to see a dentist."

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Bananas to Health And Healing!
Bananas help prevent a number of illnesses and health conditions.
Containing three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose, and when
combined with fiber, bananas produce an instant, sustained, and
substantial boost of energy. Research has shown that just two bananas
provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
Bananas are Minerals rich in Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, along with
Vitamins which Include Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin,
Pantothenic acid,Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folic acid, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin
A, Retinol, Vitamin A,Vitamin E and Tocopherol.
Bananas could be called the food to healing and health!
Over the years as the doctors I worked with put patients on blood
pressure medications, which remove a multitude of minerals, but the
medical profession only recognize potassium as the mineral necessary to
health. We know that isn't the case, but the doctors then and now had
the good sense to recommend a patient eat one or two bananas a day to
keep the potassium level safe!
According to a recent survey of people suffering from
depression found that many felt much better after eating a banana. This
is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein the body
converts into serotonin, which makes you alert, improves your mood, and
generally make you feel happier. So eat and expect less depression!
PMS may be averted by eating bananas. The vitamin B6 in bananas
regulates blood glucose levels, which is responsible for some of PMS
symptoms and eating does affect your mood (among other things).
Anemia medication: Bananas are high in iron, which stimulates the
production of hemoglobin in the blood, which helps anemia.
Blood Pressure leveler: This unique tropical fruit is extremely
high in potassium yet low in salt making it the perfect food to lower
blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has
permitted the banana industry to officially claim the fruit's ability to
'reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.'
Brain Power increased: 200 students at a Middlesex, UK school
were helped through exams by eating bananas at breakfast, at break, and
during lunch to boost their brainpower. Research has shown that the
potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation prevention: High in fiber, bananas in the diet can
restore normal bowel movement without laxatives.
Hangover cure: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is
to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana calms the
stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds depleted blood sugar
levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates the system.
Stomach calmer: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the
body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing
relief.
Morning Sickness treatment: Snacking on bananas between meals
helps keep blood sugar levels up so to avoid morning sickness. Morning
sickness is caused from a lack of B vitamins more often than blood sugar
fluctuations and since bananas have the B's eat one?
Mosquito bite treatment: Before reaching for the insect bite
cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin.
Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and
irritation.
Nerves calmed: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the
nervous system.
Overweight and work too much? Studies at the Institute of
Psychology in Austria found work pressure leads to gorging on comfort
food like chocolate and chips. Out of 5,000 hospital patients,
researchers found the most obese were in high-pressure jobs. The report
concluded that to avoid panic-induced food cravings and control blood
sugar levels, snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours kept
levels steady
Ulcers calm down: Bananas can prevent intestinal disorders
because of the soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit
that can be eaten without distress in sensitive health situations. It
also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the
lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many cultures see bananas as a "cooling"
fruit that lowers both the physical and emotional temperature of
expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas
to ensure their babies are born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas help SAD sufferers
because they contain the natural mood enhancers, tryptophan and Vitamin
B's.
Calm smoking withdrawals: Bananas can also help people trying to
stop smoking. B6 and B12 in bananas, as well as potassium and magnesium,
help the body recover from the withdrawal effects.
Stress leveler: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps
normalize the body's heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain, and regulates
the body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate
raises reducing potassium levels. These levels can be rebalanced by
eating a high-potassium banana.
Cut Stroke Risk: According to research in The New England Journal
of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk
of death by strokes as much as 40%!
Warts: It is said if you want to destroy a wart, take a piece of
banana skin and place it on the wart (with the yellow side out). Tape
the skin in place with a Band-Aid or surgical tape.
Grow Beautiful Rose Bushes with Bananas: Blend the soft part of
the banana skin in a blender full of water and pour on the base of your
rose bushes to promote healthy roots and new growth.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables results in a basic detoxification
diet. So, eat as many raw and pure, unprocessed and uncooked foods as
you can each day and make bananas one of those raw fruits.
BANANA SMOOTHIE
3 ripe frozen bananas
4-5 T peanut butter (all natural creamy or chunky)
1 T ground flaxseed
2 T honey
1 c. skim or 1% milk ( Use soy milk)
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree well and serve.
NOTE: I add strawberries, pineapple chunks,
frozen fresh peaches and frozen grapes to this as an added fiber and
taste alternate.
Mother Nature To The Rescue Again. This natural spice has
also been shown to be effective in MS! Scientists report;
Turmeric Spice May Fight Cystic Fibrosis
A substance found in a popular spice that is responsible for
turning curry and mustard yellow, might also help with treating
the deadly disease, cystic fibrosis. In a study of mice
afflicted with cystic fibrosis, researchers found that deaths
were reduced significantly after the mice consumed large amounts
of the substance found in the spice turmeric.
Results from this study initiated the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
to allocate monies for a study on turmeric and its effects on
patients.
The substance referred to as curcumin can be found in stores in
the dietary supplement section. Experts have warned patients
against self-medicating because of the lack of knowledge on how
excess amounts of curcumin could produce dangerous effects when
taken with other medications.
Approximately 30,000 American children and young adults are
afflicted with cystic fibrosis, which attacks patients? lungs
with heavy mucus, confining bacteria. Most of the deaths from
the disease are caused by lung damage or infection.
Other effects of the mucus clogs include damaging digestion and
vitamin absorption.
Methods of treatment have improved dramatically in fighting lung
infections and have increased survival rates into the 30s,
however the treatment concentrated solely on symptoms.
The damage from cystic fibrosis is usually derived from a single
genetic defect that distorts a protein named CFTR, whose job is
maintaining the balance of the salt content of cells surrounding
the lungs and other specified organs.
The route of the protein CFTR to a cell?s surface to make
openings in order for chloride ions to leave that cell are
checked for protein quality, then trapped and taken to another
area and kept there until eventually destructed. A gradual salt
buildup forms due to the inability of chloride to escape, which
then leads to the lethal formation of mucus.
Experts thought controlling the route of the protein might help
by blocking the cellular police for just enough time to allow
CFTR to get to the surface and thus open certain channels for
chloride to escape.
Over the years, researchers have experimented with two
chemicals, phenylbutyrate and a chemical of the caffeine family,
to produce the same effect. Although the experiments with
calcium-inhibiting chemicals proved to be successful, the
chemical incited cancer, so researchers have been searching for
a safer drug to use.
Findings based on experiments with mice showed:
Daily doses of curcumin cut the death rates of mice stricken
with cystic fibrosis.
The mice carried the same genetic defect that caused the disease
in humans, however the mice were found to quickly die from mucus
blockers rather than damage to the lungs.
A mere 10 percent of the mice given curcumin died within a
10-week time frame while 60 percent of the others not treated
with curcumin died within the 10 weeks.
Electrical measurements were taken of nasal tissues that were
capable of secreting ions and showed significant improvements.
Levels in the curcumin-treated mice went from very poor to
nearly normal levels.
Other test-tube experiments revealed that CFTR was able to reach
the cell surface after the addition of curcumin.
Researchers are planning to determine the appropriate dose of
curcumin and find out specific side effects during the initial
stages of future planned patient study.

Mayan Queen's Tomb Found in Rain Forest
By JAMIE STENGLE
DALLAS (AP) - While excavating an ancient royal palace deep in the
Guatemalan rain forest, archaeologists made a rare discovery - the
1,200-year-old tomb and skeleton of a Mayan queen.
Archaeologists announced the find Thursday, and said the woman appears
to have been a powerful leader of a city that may have been home to tens
of thousands of people at its peak. They found her bones on a raised
platform, with evidence of riches scattered around her body.
"We find clues of people's existence in the past all the time, from the
garbage they left or the buildings they built. ... But when you actually
come face-to-face with human beings, it's a deeply sacred moment for all
of us," said David Freidel, an anthropology professor at Southern
Methodist University, which sponsored a team of 20 archaeologists
excavating the site.
The discovery in the ancient Mayan city of Waka' in northwestern
Guatemala was made in February but was not made public until Thursday.
Word of the find comes two days after a Vanderbilt University
archaeologist, whose work is supported by the National Geographic
Society, publicly described excavation of a little-known Guatamalan site
called Cival, which housed as many as 10,000 people at its peak some
2,000 years ago.
Stephen Houston, a Brigham Young University professor specializing in
Mayan archaeology and writing who was not involved in the project,
called the tomb discovery significant.
"We haven't found to date many tombs of Maya queens," he said.
The tomb is the first discovered at Laguna del Tigre, Guatemala's
largest national park, where SMU began its excavation project in 2002.
The queen's skull and leg bones were missing, probably removed sometime
after the body had decomposed to be used as relics. Other than that, the
tomb - measuring 11 feet long by 4 feet wide by 6 feet high - was
untouched.
The queen is thought to have been 30 to 45 when she died, but
archaeologists have uncovered no clues as to her name, dynasty or cause
of death.
Freidel, who leads the excavation team with archaeologist Hector
Escobedo of Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, said the power the
queen held is evident in the 1,600 artifacts found in the tomb -
especially the remains of a plated helmet.
Twenty-two jade plaques, each about 2 inches square, appear to have been
part of the helmet. Archeologists also found a 4-inch long jade carving
depicting the dead of a deity in profile - a type of jewel worn by kings
and queens, Freidel said.
Stingray spines found in the tomb were usually used as bloodletting
implements - males pierced their genitals in ceremonies that offered
their blood to the gods, while women generally placed the spines in
their tongues. The ones found in the tomb were placed on the queen's
pelvis, Freidel said.
"She's being represented as both male and female, in my view," Freidel
said.
Research suggests that Waka' - called El Peru on present-day maps - was
inhabited as early as 500 B.C., but reached its peak between A.D. 400
and A.D. 800. The city was abandoned in the late 800s to 900s.
Freidel's project is working with the Guatemala government and
conservation groups to try to protect 230,000 acres of the Laguna del
Tigre.
Last year, 100,000 acres of the park were burned as impoverished
villagers cleared rain forest for illegal cattle ranching and logging.
Freidel says the deforestation threatens habitat for several endangered
species, including the scarlet macaw, as well as the area's
archaeological resources.
