A request Please!!! We need to be diligent in protecting children and to do that I'm asking your assistance in keeping more immunizations off the list of must haves for the little ones: HB 1316 which will mandate hepatitis A and pneumococcal vaccines for all babies and children in daycare was just placed on the intent calendar in the Senate so that means it can be brought up any time between today and May 25th for a vote by the full Senate.  Your calls are needed to your State Senator NOW to VOTE NO on HB 1316. So please call and voice your concerns.

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

Colon cancer is at its highest level;

* In the United States today because the American diet has promoted the highest fat, lowest fiber, fried-food and processed diet in the world.

* The lowest colon cancer rates are found in Japan because the Japanese have diets low in processed fat. Also Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists have a low colon cancer rate because they eat a more natural foods that have more antioxidants and are especially high in natural fiber.

Why Are Summer Stomach Upsets Prevalent?
© By Lena Sanchez
 
This time of the year Intestinal related illnesses tend to run rampant,in the warmer parts of the world, due to picnics and outdoor eating and foods sitting too long building up bacteria ready to hit your stomach with upsets. Sadly treatment given isn't always best!
 
Sometimes it may mean only a small bout with diarrhea and then it's gone. Other times it can be severe stomach cramping along with vomiting that says you've been hit hard but you will live. Other times it may mean fever, flu like symptoms and serious consequences to the point of death in small children  and aged.
 
Those BBQ's can end up with not so great stomach symptoms.  E. coli, being the most common one, causing vomiting, cramping and severe diarrhea, which can then lead to dehydration. One of the most common sources of Ecoli is eating undercooked meat. Ecoli outbreaks often occur during the summertime when many are enjoying barbecues, picnics and foods served at public  carnivals and festivals.
 
Antibiotic Treatment by the medical world for Ecoli is Risky
 
Children who are treated for Ecoli infection with antibiotics are at a greater risk of developing a toxic condition that can lead to kidney failure. Besides that antibiotics taken by any person kills natural bacteria in the body that is needed to fight infections and illness making it more dangerous?
 
Researchers at Children's Hospital Regional Medical Center and the University of Washington in Seattle, studied 71 children age 10 or younger who had Ecoli induced diarrhea. Nine received antibiotics. Ten children, including five of the nine treated with antibiotics, developed HUS (hemolytic uremic syndrome), a condition in which the patient's urine output diminishes while, at the same time, red blood cells are being destroyed. Ecoli induced HUS is more common among children  than adults, and often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection. HUS is also the major cause of kidney failure among the  15-years and under crowd.
 
Researchers say there were no major differences between the patients except that some had received antibiotics while others had not.  The researcher reports "We therefore recommend against giving antibiotics to children who may be infected with EColi until the results of a stool culture indicate that the (infection) responsible is one that can be appropriately treated with an antibiotic."
 
Yet, even after that report was released the prescribing of  antibiotics continue for Ecoli suspected gastrointestinal problems!
 
There are alternatives!
 
Two treatments that I have found to work without antibiotics are;  First ? Add Probiotics to the intestinal track to help take care of the Ecoli naturally. This addition will overcome and kill the  offending bacteria? Ecoli cannot take hold of your system when a balanced intestinal ecosystem exists.  Better yet, have your intestinal tract so tuned up that Ecoli can't get access to it. See how Your Ecosysstem Is So Important! 
 
Second - Take a tablespoon of Ionic Sliver Water morning and evening for five or six days, this is also known to kill the offending bacteria, even those that hide in the system that come out later and cause problems. With both these additions you and your child can enjoy the summer.
 
Both should be kept in your medicine war chest (not in the bathroom cabinet) as they are the closest thing to helping the most illnesses and keep the immune system tuned up to ward off illnesses. 
 
If you don't know where to obtain one or both of these Take a look at Silver Water   Probiotics
 

Monkey's Aren't So Dumb!
 
April 2004 found me in Hawaii and loving the fruits available. One of the things I enjoyed most was the banana. It was a bit different than what we get here in the U.S. but it was oh so sweet and tasty. As I reminisced my trip and about that great treat  while there I thought what better food for the week?
 
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 and vitamins, but the medical profession only recognizes potassium as the mineral necessary to health ? I was instructed to tell the patient to be sure and eat lots of potassium rich foods in particular a banana or two a day.
 
In my search about bananas last year I found great prevention and healing properties in them? Also that Bananas contain 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.
 
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.' So is it the bananas doing the job or the medication the doctor gave you?
 
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 helping 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. Experts say that bananas strengthen the surface cells of the stomach lining, forming a sturdier barrier against noxious juices.
 
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.  Takes a while but will take care of the virus that causes warts, hence the removal of the wart.
 
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 alternate taste.
 
Enjoy your nutritious healthy food!

How Insecticides Harm You
 
Evidence continues to highlight the danger of foods and vegetables made with the help of insecticides, for a study has documented the negative health effects these chemicals have on farmers who grow most of the foods sold in grocery stores.

Research found that farmers who used agricultural insecticides experienced increased neurological symptoms -- even after they stopped using the products. And while some insecticides, like DDT, are no longer on the market, others, including organophosphates and organochlorines, still are.

Facts Don't Lie

A survey that involved some 19,000 farmers in North Carolina and Iowa linked the use of insecticides to reports of reoccurring neurological problems including: headaches, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, hand tremor and numbness.

Researchers examined questionnaires completed by farmers on their exposure over a lifetime to herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fumigants, as well as their history of 23 neurological symptoms. Farmers who experienced more than 10 symptoms during the year prior to completing the study questionnaire were classified as having high levels of symptoms.

What did researchers find?

Nearly 3,000 farmers were considered to have a high lifetime exposure to insecticides -- meaning they used insecticides for more than 500 days in their lives.

Nearly 800 of these farmers reported more than 10 neurological symptoms, compared to those using insecticides fewer than 50 days.

Researchers did not find a significant association between neurological symptoms and other chemicals (including herbicides or fungicides) and found a weak association between fumigant exposure and neurological symptoms.

Moreover, since the farmers had never been previously diagnosed with pesticide poisoning or treated for any exposure to any pesticide before, researchers were led to believe the symptoms were linked to moderate lifetime exposure.
