May 15th is a deadline of insanity because you're old? What? Why? May 15th is the deadline to sign up for the new Medicare prescription drug program or pay a huge penalty? Most Americans haven't signed up due to their ability to decipher deception of costing more not less for prescriptions. But in less than 2 weeks, our current president and congressional leaders are preparing to slap as many as 14 million seniors with heavy, lifetime penalties because they haven't joined the bewildering and expensive new program and if in the future the plan is made sensible they will have to pay a huge penalty! I and my husband refuse to take prescription drugs and do not need their plan but even if we did it is far too expensive for most seniors on fixed incomes and until it's made affordable we will not become a member of that insanity... Please join me in standing up to try and stop this insane penalty to the unsuspecting. You can do that by calling on Congress to cancel the May 15th lifetime penalty (also called the "senior tax"). It's time to put seniors' needs above corporate greed. Call your congress person or online Click Here

Bowel Cleansers Get FDA Warning
May 5, 2006

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal health officials warned Friday of kidney failure associated with certain products used to cleanse the bowel before colonoscopies and other procedures.

The Food and Drug Administration said in an alert to doctors and patients that it has documented 22 cases of acute phosphate nephropathy, a rare but serious form of kidney failure associated with the use of oral sodium phosphates. The products cleanse the bowel by causing patients to loose large amounts of fluid through bowel movements.

Of the cases, 21 involved patients given solutions such as Fleet Phospho-soda or Fleet Accu-Prep. One patient had taken Visicol tablets. None had taken OsmoPrep tablets, a recently approved oral sodium phosphate product, the FDA said.

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

The human ability to smell is not up to standards when compared to most other animals. The human brain devotes only three-quarters of a square inch to "its entire olfactory apparatus," writes Time-Life editors in their book The Mysteries of the Human Body. By comparison, a dog uses 10 square inches and a shark utilizes 24 square feet. "A rabbit, with one of the most sensitive noses in nature, has a smell receptor area as large as its skin," says the book. Despite its inferiority, a human has about 40 million olfactory nerves that can detect even slight traces of some chemicals.

* DETOX YOUR LIVER!
* PREVENT ORGAN FAILURE!
* PREPARE FOR A HEALTHIER BODY!
* MAKE IT EASIER TO LOSE WEIGHT!
The liver plays important roles in detoxification, fat metabolism, digestion, hormonal balance, and circulation.

Our livers are deserving of a good cleanse at least once a year because it is most likely the most congested of all organs in your body. Too much fat, chemicals, intoxicants, and denatured food all disrupt the hundreds of intricate biochemical processes of the liver. Some of the overt signs of a sluggish liver include allergies, PMS, constipation, dyspepsia, obesity, and chemical sensitivities.

When healthy and functioning well, the liver resists infections by producing immune factors and removing bacteria from the blood stream, clears the blood of drugs and poisonous substances, regulates blood clotting, and stores and releases glucose for energy. And these are just a few of the critical functions of the liver. It is not only the largest glandular organ in the body, it is the destination for 25% of the blood that comes from the heart.

A simple liver cleanse should be the beginning of any treatment for illness or disease. That Liver Cleanse should begin with these two herbs:

Milk Thistle(Silybum marianum) - Milk Thistle extract may block toxins from entering the liver, help remove toxins from liver cells and regenerate liver cells.

Schizandra(Schizandra chinensis) - The dried berries of this Chinese plant have been found to support and maintain the liver in general.

At least twice a year a thorough liver cleanse should take place OR if you live in a large city or known polluted area every three months would be best!

NOW Dr. Garland has a Master Formula containing the above herbs and much more for a thorough liver cleansing... CLICK H ERE FOR INFO AND/OR ORDER ONLINE with secure order line!

Digesting Healthy Food!

Juicing makes sense! When we eat a whole carrot for instance, and send it through the digestive system, we lose over 65% of the nutrients in the process. Yet when we juice that carrot, some 92% of the nutrients reach cellular level. That knowledge is powerful, and has helped multitudes recover from over 170 different physical problems. Raw vegetable juices, and juices made from grasses, are the key reason for healing illness and disease! So if you are having bowel problems try juicing to get the maximum absorption!

Is A Salt Substitute Better?
© By Lena Sanchez

Hypertensive (high blood pressure) people are being told to stop salt intake and use salt substitutes. Is that good advice? Is it the salt or something else creating their hypertension?

In past society's salt was valuable for its health properties but something changed in the modern processing of it since those days of old.

Salt was used as currency during the Roman rule. Roman soldiers were paid in salt. The Latin word sal is the root for the English word salary. Based on this, I'm sure you have heard the familiar phrase that a person is "worth their salt", meaning worth the wages they receive.

Real non-chemicalized salt intake is absolutely necessary to survival and don't you forget it!

Our medical world continues telling people that their blood pressure problem can be eliminated by using salt substitutes. Now an eight-year study of a New York City's hypertensive population found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets - the exact opposite of what the "salt hypothesis" predicted. (1995) What they didn't study was the salt substitutes and how they fit into the equation! Hence we don't have the complete picture.

Our regular table salt no longer has anything in common with the original crystal salt of those long ago days. Salt is now mainly sodium chloride and not actual salt. The common commercial table salt used by most people for cooking has only 2 or 3 chemical elements. Seawater has 84 chemical elements that were originally found in salt. Our body requires those 84 elements for total health. A healthy body's blood plasma consists of those very same 84 elements identical to seawater.

Common table salt consumed by most is deficit of 81 elements and containing health altering byproducts from the processing, which means our body is becoming weaker, imbalanced and more susceptible to diseases.

Table salt produced by the early pioneers was of excellent quality and contained those unadulterated elements. But man, in looking for something more convenient ended up decimating salt's true elements of health.

Real Kosher salt is most usually an additive-free coarse-grained salt, used by Jews in the preparation of meat. It is also used by gourmet cooks who prefer its texture and flavor.

While most salts start out as salt, they don't always end up that way. Normal table salt begins as a saline solution. Then after processing and kiln drying at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees, its natural state is changed and nearly all trace minerals are lost. Then processing chemicals are added such as Silico Aluminate, Potassium Iodide, Tri-calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Carbonate, Sodium bicarbonate, and yellow prussiate of soda just to name a few. These are added to bleach the salt, prevent caking, and aid in free-flowing so your salt will flow free even on rainy days. But what are they doing to your body?

The funny thing is that the Food & Drug Administration usually lets companies leave their processing aides off of their ingredient lists, as long as the material is being used in a small-enough concentration to fit their specs. Yet when you consume refined table salt in large quantities you are consuming large quantities of those same chemicals.

Did you know that two of the inorganic chemicals used in processing salt is also used to make many consumer related products, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic? I don't know about you but I really don't want to eat any part of PVC...

Other additives are anti-caking agents such as calcium silicate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and other compounds. They are insoluble in water, which not only prevents them from forming clumps in humid environments (thus keeping the soluble crystals of sodium chloride separate), but also explains why water becomes slightly cloudy when salt with these additives is dissolved in it. These are all odorless and flavorless substances and contribute nothing to our body but what do they do once inside our body... We can only guess as studies have not been done to tell us...

Now to answer the question; "are salt substitutes better?"

Salt substitutes are supposed to be free of sodium but are they? Is sodium the whole problem? Not really! Some are free of sodium and some aren't but ALL have potassium chloride, which is dangerous to the very ones who seem to be consuming it for health reasons. Salt free diets are usually recommended to those who have hypertension and/or heart problems. Making this dangerous to the very ones who are taking heart and hypertension medications in conjunction with the salt substitute and mixing those medications with those ingredients...

Listed below are the top salt substitutes and the amounts of potassium and sodium in each.

*No Salt -- 1/4 tsp.: 650 mg. Potassium/0 mg. sodium
*Morton's Lite Salt -- 1/4 tsp.: 350 mg. Potassium/290 mg. sodium
*Morton's Salt Substitute -- 1/4 tsp.: 610 mg. Potassium/
0 mg. sodium
*Cardia Salt Alternative -- 1/4 tsp.: 180 mg. Potassium/
270 mg. Sodium

As you can see Potassium chloride is a common ingredient in salt substitutes. Too much potassium can be harmful if you have kidney problems or you're taking certain medications to treat high blood pressure or heart failure. Potassium-sparing diuretic drugs causes your kidneys to retain potassium. Just about every person with hypertension or certain heart diseases is given a diuretic drug! If you take a potassium-sparing diuretic and use a salt substitute containing potassium, too much potassium can build up in your body. Possible side effects include potentially life-threatening kidney failure and/or heart rhythm disturbances and even death.

If you wish to use a salt substitute make your own!

Savory Salt Substitute

1 tbsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. celery seeds
1 tbsp. onion powder
2 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. powdered orange peel
1 1/2 tsp. arrowroot
1 1/2 tsp. sugar or sugar substitute
3/4 tsp. sour salt (powdered citric acid)
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 tsp. plus a pinch of powdered lemon peel
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Place all the ingredients in a small electric coffee grinder, spice grinder or blender.
Grind for 10 seconds or until the mixture is fine.
Insert a funnel in the top of a glass salt shaker, pour the
mixture into it and tap the funnel lightly to fill the shaker.
Cover the rest of the mixture tightly and store it in a cool,
dark, dry place.
Makes about 1/2 cup.

Compliments of Reader's Digest "Great Recipes for Good Health," www.rd.com

How do I get around this whole problem? I use sea salt, no aluminum or contaminants as it is simply salt dried and ground as it comes from the sea. Same flavor results in your taste buds but without the contaminates from the extraction process as in regular salt.

Be healthy and wise at the same time.
