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
============================
Flooding and Well Water: A Dangerous Mix
By Brian Cronin, Director of AquaMD
As is common this time of year, many parts of North America have
experienced severe flooding as a result of the record rainfalls and
spring thawing.
Many rivers, lakes and streams become swollen and flood hundreds of
square miles in the central U.S. during this time. The resulting flood
waters pose a health danger for anyone with a private well. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the Health Department all strongly urge well owners
within these flooded areas need to test their drinking water
immediately.
People living in these flooded areas should take precautions to
determine if their wells have been contaminated. Flooding will literally
wash the land surface of many harmful contaminants, and will transport
these pollutants across many miles. As the underground aquifers that
feed all private wells are recharged by surface water, flooding poses a
tremendous risk to ground water quality.
Chemical and Biological Contaminants
Besides the risk of chemical contamination, naturally occurring
biological contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites, are
transported by flood waters and can enter into private wells.
Water-borne contaminants can enter private wells through loose-fitting
well caps or by seeping down along a well's shaft casing. The result is
contaminated water that is unsafe for drinking, bathing, brushing teeth
and preparing food. Shallow wells and wells found in low-lying areas are
especially susceptible to flood contamination.
AquaMD urges the owners of private wells to check their wells for signs
of contamination and to test their water with a certified laboratory. If
contamination is detected, the actual well water and home's plumbing
system should be disinfected using treatment chemicals.
If well owners notice ANY change in their water quality--odor, color,
sediment, taste, etc.--they must assume that their drinking water is
contaminated and conduct a certified test immediately (however, please
also be aware that many contaminants cannot be detected by human
senses).
Wells That Don't Appear Flooded are Also Vulnerable
Just because your own well has not experienced severe flooding, you
should not assume your water is safe. Underground aquifers are often
replenished by surface water run-off coming from many miles away. Even
though your well may not have been flooded, other nearby wells that also
tap into your aquifer may have been flooded. In the case of shallow
wells, your water is vulnerable to contamination entering shallow
aquifers through cracks and crevices, if the surrounding area becomes
flooded.
Water and health all agree that if well contamination is even suspected,
you should obtain water for drinking and cooking from a safe source,
like an emergency community water supply or bottled water. Boiling water
can provide protection against bacterial contamination, but may not
protect against an assortment of chemicals, like Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs), herbicides or pesticides.
To summarize, if your area has experienced severe flooding recently, you
really should have your well water tested before resuming normal use.
It's just good common sense. For more information on Private Wells,

Correct hypertension naturally and safely!
Every minute of the day and night, 50 million Americans with high blood
pressure subject themselves to increased risk of stroke, heart attack,
atherosclerosis, kidney problems and mental declines.
Unfortunately, many doctors continue to falsely prescribe to their
patients a low-salt diet, and drugs -- which they will be on for the
rest of their lives.
What they don't seem to recognize that the sodium isn't the problem but
the table salt containing chemicals that will do in the body.
High blood pressure is not just about sodium-free, but an imbalance
between sodium and other minerals, such as potassium and calcium among
two of the 84 minerals required to balance the system and creating a
healthy atmosphere for your heart and making strokes less likely!
Prescribed medications do not even address the issues and create more
health problems!

Antibiotics Linked to Asthma, Allergies
If allergies are making your life unbearable and you find you can?t go a
day without your inhaler, the real culprit might not be your congested
head; it could be the microbes in your gut.
Scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School presented
findings from studies that involved laboratory mice. Results showed that
antibiotics might be responsible for producing changes in microbes in
the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn could impact the way the
immune system responds to common allergens in the lungs.
Gary B. Huffnagle, associate professor of internal medicine, stated that
antibiotics got rid of bacteria in the gut, which enabled fungi to take
control until the bacteria grew back after the antibiotics were
discontinued.
Researchers explained the relationship between the gastrointestinal,
respiratory and immune system in the body by describing how with each
inhalation, pollen and dust particles are trapped and enter the stomach
with the production of saliva and mucus created as you swallow.
In other experiments, scientists found that fungi produced oxylipins,
which are molecules that could determine the kind and severity level of
immune responses. This supported the idea that fungal oxylipins in the
GI tract helped avoid the production of regulatory T cells for ingested
allergens. This caused T cells in the respiratory system to become
susceptible to common allergens such as mold spores and pollen. These
factors combined result in a hyperactive immune response, which could
result in allergy symptoms and in some cases, asthma.
This hypothesis was tested on mice who were administered oral
antibiotics for five days and then given one oral introduction of the
yeast called Candida albicans, which was used to reproduce a steady
group of microbes in both the gastrointestinal system and intestines.
Findings from the study include:
The mice were injected with common mold spores two days after the
antibiotics were stopped and possible allergic side effects were
evaluated with both groups of mice, those that were given the antibiotic
and those that were not.
The mice that were given antibiotics and exposed to C. albicans
displayed higher rates of pulmonary hypersensitivity to A. fumigatus as
opposed to the mice that weren?t given any antibiotics.
Based on these findings, researchers concluded the changes to both the
growth of bacteria and fungi within the GI tract disrupted the function
of the regulatory T cells to lessen the immune system reaction to
respiratory allergens. Researchers expressed hope that by learning how
microflora in the GI tract impacted the immune system might hold the key
to treating allergies with dietary changes or through taking probiotics,
dietary supplements responsible for producing ?healthy? bacteria, in
order to regulate the microbes in the gut.
Researchers stressed the importance of following a nutritious diet
complete with an abundance of raw fruits and vegetables after taking
antibiotics as a way to speed up the process of bringing the microbes in
the GI tract back to healthy levels.

Cantaloupe
A refreshing vine grown fruit that is 89% water
containing lots of minerals and vitamins!
Growing up we ate a lot of melons. Living in the Phoenix area with all
types of melons grown all around us it was inevitable and I am now
grateful to have had that opportunity.
Cantaloupe season is just around the corner, but in most parts of the
world you can get them the grocery store anytime of the year? June and
July is the typical season, here in Arizona, for full-swing harvest.
The best melons are slightly golden (not green), heavy, and fragrant at
the tender, indented end. Avoid discolored ones, but don't worry about
smooth a discolored patch; that's where the growing melon rested on the
ground.
1/8 of a large cantaloupe contains the Minerals; Calcium - is essential for healthy bones and teeth, normal blood
clotting, and nervous system functioning. Necessary to regain the proper
pH balance Iron - Iron is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component
of the blood. Iron is also part of myoglobin, which helps muscle cells
store oxygen. Necessary for healthy blood chemistry and is essential for
recovery from illness. Magnesium - needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation,
making of new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting
blood, and forming adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the energy the body runs
on). The secretion and action of insulin also require magnesium. Is a
natural tranquilizer. Known as an "anti-stress mineral," it aids in
relaxing nerves, relieving tension, assisting digestion, activating
enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and
modulating the electrical impulses across all cell membranes. Is
important in the production and transfer of energy, muscle contraction
and relaxation, and nerve conduction. It also aids regularity, is
necessary to keep vertebrae in their proper position, induces restful
sleep, purifies and purges body tissues (combats acids, toxins, gases,
impurities, and neutralizes poisons), and lowers fever. Magnesium is
stored in the bowel, nerves and ligaments Phosphorus - contributes to bone health, is often regarded as a
twin nutrient to calcium. Is involved, either directly or indirectly, in
nearly every biological or cellular function in the body. Potassium - the mineral of life! Needed for growth, building
muscles, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity etc. Potassium,
together with sodium - work together for the nervous system to transmit
messages as well as regulating the contraction of muscles. Potassium
also regulates water balance, assists recuperative powers, aids
rheumatic or arthritic conditions - detoxing acids to leave the joints
and ease stiffness - is vital for the elimination of wastes, is a
natural pain desensitizer, helps control convulsions, headaches, and
migraines, promotes faster healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries,
and generally contributes to a sense of well being. Potassium is stored
in the muscles... Sodium - A mineral that regulates fluid balance by controlling
the flow of liquids in and out of each cell, sparks nerve impulses,
helps the body to process and digest proteins and carbohydrates. Zinc - Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every
cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are
substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. Zinc
supports a healthy immune system, needed for wound healing, helps
maintain your sense of taste and smell, and is needed for DNA synthesis.
Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy,
childhood, and adolescence. Copper - Copper is needed to absorb and utilize iron. Copper is
needed to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy the body runs
on. Synthesis of some hormones requires copper, as does collagen (the
"glue" that holds muscle tissue together) and tyrosinase (the enzyme
that puts pigment into the skin) copper is needed for healthy hair. Manganese - is needed for healthy skin, bone, and cartilage
formation, as well as glucose tolerance. It also helps activate
superoxide dismutase (SOD)-an important antioxidant enzyme. Selenium - activates an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione
peroxidase, which may help protect the body from cancer. Selenium has
also induced 'apoptosis' (programmed cell death) in cancer cells.
1/8 th cantaloupe also contains the Vitamins; C (carotenoids) - Is a water-soluble vitamin that functions as a
powerful antioxidant. One of vitamin C's important functions is to
protect LDL cholesterol from oxidative damage. Keeps the immune system
strong and help build healthy gums. Thiamin - is necessary for normal growth, normal carbohydrate
metabolism and normal functioning of the heart, nerves and muscles.
Thiamin deficiency results in retarded growth and nerve disorders, and a
condition known as beriberi. Riboflavin (B2) - required for normal growth, vigor, healthy
skin and mucosa, and normal eye function. Niacin (B3) - is necessary for normal growth and skin health,
normal functioning of the stomach and intestines, nervous and
circulatory systems, and for carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Pantothenic acid - a B-complex vitamin, is essential for humans
and animals for growth, reproduction, and normal physiological
functions. It is a precursor of the coenzymes, CoA and acyl carrier
protein of fatty acid synthase, which are involved in more than 100
different metabolic pathways including energy metabolism of
carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, and the synthesis of lipids,
neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, porphyrins and hemoglobin. B-6 - helps control metabolism, benefits nervous system and
immune function. Folate - is associated with the prevention of colon, rectal,
cervical, lung, stomach and esophageal cancers. Increasing your intake
of folate decreases the homocysteine levels in your blood. High
homocysteine levels are associated with heart disease, and suspected to
increase your risk of all the other ailments we listed above. Folic acid - strengthens your immune system and boosts energy
B-12 - aids in digestions and said to prevent anemia, is needed
for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the
mood-affecting substance called SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin
B12 works with folic acid to control homocysteine levels. A (Retinol ) - an antioxidant that keeps skin soft and supple
good for the eyes. helps cells reproduce normally?a process called
differentiation. E (Tocopherol ) - an antioxidant said to prevent cardiovascular
disease and cancer, improves circulation, promotes healthy skin and
hair.
It would seem to me that 1/8 or more of a cantaloupe would be a great
health builder!
Store at room temperature; refrigerate when ripe.
Great when sliced tossed with lime juice and fresh ginger for a
refreshing breakfast. Freeze peeled chunks and blend into smoothies.
Skewer cantaloupe and pineapple pieces and grill. Cantaloupe is great
snack after exercise. Helps rebuild and replenish energy without gaining
weight.
A little side note of interest, probably to nobody but me. If
you've ever passed a melon field where vines are being turned over,
preventing the melons from rotting on the ground side, with a device
pulled behind a tractor, my father invented that in my teen years!
Could you imagine a society where 25 people dictated what the
other 275 million people thought? While mind control is rarely
discussed and often shrugged off as extreme, this is the exact
method used by the minority to rule the majority. Most
surprising, due to the growth in technology (television, radio
and Internet) mind control is more prevalent now than in any
other time in history.
Of course, skeptics will refuse to believe that mind control is
at work today, despite the overwhelming evidence. Let us
briefly look at the FDA as a striking example. The FDA is
compromised of a staff of only 25 people. Yet, they have
successfully convinced the majority of unhealthy Americans that
dietary supplements are dangerous and FDA approved drugs are the
next best thing since Dairy Queen.
There is a HUGE paradox that rests in this belief. The paradox
lies in the FACT that drug chemists (like me) design drugs based
on the compounds they extract FROM DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. I hope
"cookie cutter doctor's" are paying attention.
Numerous examples exist. Ritalin and many other stimulants are
knock-offs of the active ingredients found in Ma Huang AKA
Ephedra. Cholesterol lowering drugs known as statins are knock
offs of the natural ingredient found in Red Yeast Rice. The
tiny family of prescription pain killers are knock offs of the
natural ingredients found in opium (not a dietary supplement,
but important to note). Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) drugs
are knock offs of the active ingredients found in horse piss
(while horse piss is not a dietary supplement, this is an
important note as well). Aspirin (you know, the one that your
doctor tells you to take EVERYDAY) is a knock off of the active
ingredient found in White Willow Bark. The list goes on.
These man made knock offs are killing people. As repeated by
numerous professionals, the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) has reported that FDA approved drugs are the
number four killer in the USA! Meanwhile, you are more likely
to get killed from a bee sting than by a dietary supplement.
Recognizing this fact, many insightful individuals have simply
abandoned prescription drugs and opted to go the Internet or
local health food store to purchase the safer and more effective
natural cousin.
Yes America, you are being lied to. The success of this lie is
derived from mind control. Why else would millions of Americans
pay an average of $300 a month for medical insurance to pay for
prescription drugs that are killing them?
Patent rights that are procured from making dietary supplement
knock offs guarantee that the war against dietary supplements
wages on. This war protects not only the paychecks of
pharmaceutical employees, but also the millions of dollars in
perks given to medical doctors and the profits derived from
shares in pharmaceutical stock. Consequently, very few are
fighting in favor of dietary supplements and instead are
supporting prescription drug use. What good is being rich if
you are dead?
Despite the big money being made, dietary supplements always win
simply because they keep you alive and well. According to the
National Center for Health Statistics, only nine percent of all
American adults are consuming enough healthy foods to reach
their minimum recommended daily intake to assure proper health.
The remedy to this catastrophe is not prescription drugs but
rather dietary supplements! Despite the smear efforts by the
FDA, dietary supplements are saving people's lives rather than
taking them. That is the reality. Too bad we can't say the
same for commonly used and overly prescribed FDA approved drugs.
Agriculture Department Cancels Controversial Organic
Food Changes
The Department of Agriculture's proposed changes that would weaken
organic standards initiated an up rise in the organic community. The
secretary of agriculture responded to the angry opponents by informing
the public that she would meet and discuss the proposed directives with
the National Organic Standards Board.
Components that made up the proposed standards:
Would have allowed for any kind of drug to be used on organic dairy
animals for disease treatment, providing 12 months passed between the
antibiotic treatment and the selling of the milk.
The livestock rule regarding organic beef and poultry would deem
fishmeal as a permissible dietary supplement, despite the fact that
fishmeal carries harmful chemicals such as preservatives and mercury.
Pesticide ingredients would no longer need to be approved for use.
Opinions from those opposed to the changes include:
A vice president at Stonyfield Farm, which sells organic dairy products,
stated the directives could damage the integrity of the organic industry
and lessen the customer's trust in the organic label. She also perceived
the new directives as an easy way for large organic farms to mix their
organic and non-organic herd of cows.
Other members of the organic community viewed the directives as a
possible threat to the credibility of the National Organics Standard
Board, which has maintained high standards for the qualifications a
product must meet to be considered organic.
The decision to consult with the National Organic Standards Board was
praised by Senator Patrick J. Leahy, who stressed the importance of
maintaining the program's credibility, which has been supported by the
public and stakeholders.
As the organic industry grows at a rate of 20 percent a year, opponents
to the changes agreed that there need to be precise guidelines for
organic foods as businesses begin to increasingly flood into the organic
market.
