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)

The old timers you will notice a shift in today's motivator. I
thought I might as well go all the way with health and make the
motivator a health incentive too.
I'm still tired from yesterday. Canning is a strenuous job but one
that we do so enjoy when the cold winter months come along and we know
it's healthy organic fruit. Still have fruit leather in the works and
some apricot preserves, will get those today, so no rest for the
weary... I've gotten pretty good at biding my time between the kitchen
and the office. Meals aren't always at the right time but they get
worked in, as the 8-year old grandson lets me know when he has to eat!
A dear friend passed this week and that has us a bit bummed out as he
was younger than us by a lot of years. Had a massive heart attack and
died instantly. I was never able to convince him that his fried foods,
booze and cigarettes would kill him. He, like so many more always had
the attitude, "I'm going to die anyway so I'll take the risk." His risk
lost his life about 20 years too soon. Don't follow in his footsteps!
Listen and learn!

Something To Think About
============================
Revolting Can Be Healthful!
Start a revolution for good foods that heal versus bad foods that make
you ill!
"Experts" don't get it yet. They know bad foods make you ill so why
can't they accept the fact that good food makes you well or prevents
illness? Could it have to do with the jungle in their pocket books?
So start the revolt now! Foods can heal -- or harm -- our bodies.
The revolution I'm talking about is unlocking of the almost unlimited
healing power of the foods we eat every day, along with proper nutrient
balancing supplements.
Doctors have long known that bad foods can make you sick, so lets get
them to see that good foods heal as well. I have a couple of doctor
friends who have started up healthful living establishments to healing
their patients and are leading a grass roots revolution for "HEALTHY
FOODS HEALING," sounds good to me! So get on board with their revolution
and get healthy or if you're already healthy stay that way!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Harvard and Tufts studies found;
An analysis of the data showed that women with
the highest levels of homocysteine had almost twice the risk of hip
fracture compared to women with the lowest levels. And among men the
association was even more pronounced: Those with high homocysteine
levels had nearly four times the risk of hip fracture as the men whose
levels were low.
Fortunately, studies have shown that
homocysteine levels may be controlled with ample amounts of folate - the
B vitamin also known as folic acid. Dietary sources of folate include
citrus fruits, tomatoes, leafy green vegetables, and pinto, navy and
kidney beans. But for many people, folate and B vitamin supplements may
be necessary to sufficiently lower homocysteine.

Cheap Drugs Work Against Post-Op Nausea
By JANET McCONNAUGHEY
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The first head-to-head comparison of common
treatments for preventing nausea and vomiting after surgery found that
drugs costing a dollar or two work just as well as a more expensive
medicine.
Also, a combination of two or three drugs was found to be more effective
than just one at preventing people from throwing up after an operation.
Some people, though, get sick to their stomach no matter what.
The study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine,
clarifies a dismally murky area.
Nausea and vomiting after surgery are common side effects of gas
anesthesia and opium-related painkillers. Post-op nausea affects one out
of three surgery patients - about 25 million a year in the United
States.
"For the first time I really feel like I understand what there is to
know about preventing nausea and vomiting in the operating room," said
Dr. Allan Gottschalk, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins
University.
When medical residents used to ask what to do, Gottschalk said, "I would
have to say the literature was such a mess that I really didn't have any
real strong opinions. Now I think we have something."
The study was led by Dr. Christian C. Apfel, who began the research at
the University of Wurzburg in Germany and now also works at the
University of Louisville. He looked at all 64 possible combinations of
six nausea treatments.
Three of the treatments are drugs - the steroid dexamethasone;
ondansetron, developed to avert vomiting after chemotherapy; and the
tranquilizer droperidol. Droperidol costs about $1, dexamethasone $2 or
less, and ondansetron $15 or so.
The group also studied two anesthetic techniques - using an intravenous
anesthetic rather than gas, and using nitrogen rather than nitrous oxide
- as well as use of an ultra-short acting narcotic called remifentanil.
Apfel and colleagues at 28 hospitals in seven countries used every
possible combination to learn what worked best on 5,199 patients likely
to have post-op stomach upsets.
The three drugs were found to be about equally effective.
Overall, 52 percent of the patients who got no anti-vomiting drug became
ill after surgery. That dropped to 37 percent of those who got one drug,
28 percent of those who got two, and 22 percent of those who got all
three.
The IV anesthetic propofol brought a 19 percent drop compared with use
of gas, and nitrogen rather than nitrous oxide a 12 percent reduction.
The painkiller change made no significant difference.
He said that people most likely to suffer post-op nausea are women,
nonsmokers and those with a history of such nausea or of motion
sickness. So are those undergoing surgery painful enough to need opiates
afterward.

CARROTS
Orange long veggie with greens at the top! Easy to pack and perfect with
that favorite dip, the crunchy texture and sweet taste of carrots is
popular among both adults and children. Shipped around the country from
California throughout the year.
The carrot has a thick, fleshy, deeply colored root, which grows
underground, and feathery green leaves that emerge above ground. It is
known scientifically as Daucus carota, a name that can be traced back to
ancient Roman writings of the 3rd century. Carrots belong to the
Umbelliferae family along with parsnips, fennel caraway, cumin and dill
which all have the umbrella-like flower clusters that characterize this
family of plants.
The carrot is an herbaceous plant containing about 87% water. The power
and goodness of carrots have many important vitamins and minerals. They
are rich in antioxidants Beta Carotene, Alpha Carotene, Phytochemicals
and Glutathione, Calcium and Potassium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and
E, which are also considered antioxidants, protecting as well as
nourishing the skin. They contain a form of calcium easily absorbed by
the body. Finally they also contain Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese,
Phosphorous and Sulphur, a real wonder drug!!
Also contain, in small amounts, essential oils, carbohydrates and
nitrogenous composites. They are well-known for their sweetening,
antianemic, healing, diuretic, remineralizing and sedative properties.
In order to assimilate the greatest quantity of the nutrients present in
carrots, it is important to chew them well.
Carrots are nutritional heroes; they store a goldmine of nutrients. No
other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots, which the
body converts to vitamin A. This is a truly versatile vegetable and
contains an extraordinary pectin fiber that has been found to have
cholesterol-lowering properties.
Clearly a raw carrot has more goodness in it when it is raw and
therefore you would assume it is the healthiest way to eat it. But
unless the carrot is juiced then consumed, the body cannot break down
the goodness because of the cellular nature of the carrot.
So in reality, unlike most other vegetables (not all), carrots are more
nutritious when eaten cooked than eaten raw (except when juiced raw).
Because raw carrots have tough cellular walls, the body is able to
convert less than 25 per cent of their beta carotene into vitamin A.
Cooking, however, partially dissolves cellulose-thickened cell walls,
freeing up nutrients by breaking down the cell membranes. So long as the
cooked carrots are served as part of a meal that provides some fat the
body can absorb more than half of the carotene. Carrots are usually cut
into pieces and eaten after boiling or steaming, but done in this way,
half the proteins and soluble carbohydrates will be lost, so it is more
advisable to cook them whole and then cut up.
Experiments show that eating lightly-cooked carrots is much more
beneficial than eating raw carrots, which confirms the ancient wisdom in
traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners
have always recommended that their patients eat lightly-cooked carrots
in order to get the best nutritional absorption. Recent research by Dr.
Xiangdong Wang at Tufts University shows that beta carotene can change
in the human body into a substance called retinoic acid, which is widely
used to treat cancers.
Often overlooked, but found in carrots, is alpha carotene. According to
an article in NCI Cancer Weekly (Nov. 13, 1989), Michiaki Murakoshi, who
leads a team of biochemists at Japan's Kyoto Prefectural University of
Medicine, contends that alpha carotene may be more powerful than beta
carotene in inhibiting processes that may lead to tumor growth.
Murakoshi indicates that neuroblastoma (cancer) cells coated with
carotenoids experience a drop in N-myc activity compared to untreated
cells. N-myc is a gene that codes for cell growth-stimulating proteins
and can contribute to cancer formation and growth. Alpha carotene was
found to be about ten times more inhibitory toward N-myc activity than
beta carotene. Murakoshi concludes that all types of carotenoids should
be studied for possible health benefits.
Carrots benefit our body by: Boosting immunity (especially among older people).
Reducing photosensitivity (beta-carotene protects the skin from sun
damage).
Improving symptoms of HIV.
Easing alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Helping to heal minor wounds and injuries.
Reducing the risk of heart disease.
Reducing the risk of high blood pressure.
Cleansing the liver, and when consumed regularly, can help the liver
excrete fats and bile.
Fighting bronchitis.
Fighting infection (vitamin A keeps cell membranes healthy, making them
stronger against disease-causing microorganisms)
Improving muscle, flesh, and skin health.
Helping fight anemia.
Reducing acne.
Improving eye health.
Have you ever seen a purple, white, yellow, or red carrot? Most people
haven't, even though such carrots have existed for hundreds of years.
You may see them in the future. Recent research at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison suggests that pigments in these colorful carrots,
which taste just like regular carrots, may help prevent heart disease
and cancer, and reduce cholesterol. Studies examining the health
benefits of fruits and vegetables are revealing the disease-preventive
powers of the pigments that give plants their distinctive colors.
Orange carrots get their color from beta carotene, a pigment the body
converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency, although rare in the United
States, poses a major public health problem in developing countries
second only to protein malnutrition.
According to the World Health Organization, vitamin A deficiency
partially or totally blinds nearly 350,000 children from more than 75
countries every year. Roughly 60 percent of these children die within
months of going blind. However, vitamin A deficiency is preventable.

The government has suggested that more and more people are
turning to meditation, herbs, yoga and other forms of
alternative medicine because of lack of results with
conventional care. One of the largest U.S. studies conducted on
alternative medicine found that over one-third of American
adults practiced some type of non-conventional medicine in 2002.
The report was based on information from 31,044 interviews with
adults aged 18 and older.
Researchers believed the results of the study pointed to the
fact that more people are using alternative medicine. Also, it
was apparent that an increasing number of people have turned to
natural products like herbs or enzymes to help with chronic or
recurring pain.
Experts suggested that people should not neglect conventional
medicine in those instances where it has been proven to help
certain conditions and also recommended consulting a doctor
before practicing alternative medicine. Experts were concerned
about the number of people turning to alternative medicine
because they felt they were no longer able to afford the costs
of conventional care.
Experts cautioned people who assumed that just because a product
was natural that it was automatically safe to use. An example
they cited was the 6.6 percent of people in the study found to
use the supplement kava kava, which has been linked to liver
disease.
Significant findings from the study include:
62 percent of the participants used some form complementary and
alternative medicine over the past year for a specific medical
condition, broken down as follows:
Prayer for own health, 43 percent
Prayer by others for the respondent's health, 24 percent
Natural products (such as herbs, other botanicals, and enzymes),
19 percent
Deep breathing exercises, 12 percent
Participation in prayer group for own health, 10 percent
Meditation, 8 percent
Chiropractic care, 8 percent
Yoga, 5 percent
Massage, 5 percent
Diet-based therapies, 4 percent
*45 percent turned to some kind of prayer to help them heal in
the past 12 months. There was a higher tendency for women to use
complementary and alternative medicine than men
28 percent of the participants felt that conventional treatment
would not help them. Based on the findings of this report, there
appears to be a greater percentage of people turning to
complementary and alternative medicine for their health needs.
LENA'S NOTE:I wonder if the use of alternatives has
something to do with the turn around that appears to be
happening in the cancer world. Slightly less cancer is being
diagnosed according to the June 2004 CDC report... I believe, if
the turn around to using sensible alternatives continues, we
will see less of a lot of illnesses being diagnosed!
Dr. Barry Durrant-Peatfield expands on how England's proposed nationwide
fluoridation of their water supplies poses health threats, especially
for those suffering from thyroid problems.
Fluoride is an enzyme poison, and enzymes are complex protein compounds
that facilitate chemical reactions that are essential to health.
Extremely low concentrations of fluoride can damage enzymes and their
functions.
Further, fluoride from all sources (water, air and food) accumulate in
the body, which can only eliminate 50 percent of its total fluoride
intake, causing harm to your:
