 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
============================

Statin drugs cause mental "static"

I know I've mentioned cholesterol drugs a lot, both in my
newsletter and in the Daily Dose. But new research findings
keep cropping up almost daily, it seems, that tell us new
things about these harmful patent medications - and
their "benefits."

For instance, research unveiled at last fall's meeting of
the American Heart Association revealed that a commonly
prescribed "statin" drug for lowering cholesterol might
actually impair patients' brain function - even so far as to
affect their ability to perform everyday tasks, like drive a
car. The study pinpointed measurable decreases in attention
span and psychomotor reflex speed among the subject group
when compared to the un-medicated control group.

But here's the really incriminating part: Those patients who
experienced the greatest decreases in blood cholesterol also
suffered the greatest levels of impairment! Interesting,
huh?

I mention these findings to you because I know the
mainstream press will never pick up the story - but also
because some medical authorities estimate that in the very
near future, half of the adult U.S. population could be
taking cholesterol-lowering medications. That's right - if
conventional doctors and the "drug thugs" have their way,
every other one of us will be stumbling around in a statin
stupor! But what's not clear is whether the impairment is
caused by the drugs themselves - or the lack of cholesterol.

I suspect it's the latter. Why? Because low cholesterol
levels have been linked to numerous other health issues
directly related to the brain - things like violent
behavior, depression, mood swings, stroke risk and other
problems. Maybe now, we should add "impaired brain
functioning" to that list.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: Unless your
cholesterol climbs over 300, forget about it - even
the "ratio" of LDL to HDL that so many conventional doctors
make such a fuss about. For heart health, concentrate
instead on DHEA, testosterone (for both men and women), and
homocysteine levels. And be sure to supplement with plenty
of folic acid, B vitamins, and CoQ10, too.

Just leave the statin drugs alone - unless you're suffering
from an excess of IQ or terminal euphoria.

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

Berry Berry Healthy!

Blueberries are rich in phenolic compounds, which are antioxidants, so researchers thought blueberry juice might be a useful antioxidant drink. They compared the benefits of a pint of cranberry juice cocktail with a pint of blueberry juice, using sugar water as a control.

Cranberry juice, which is rich in vitamin C -- a powerful antioxidant -- showed real benefits. But the phenolic compounds in blueberry juice proved no more effective than the sugar water.

STOP THE FREE-RADICALS!
 
STOP THE CHAIN REACTION TO ILLNESS!

 
Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules with at least one unpaired electron. These unpaired electrons want and need a partner. Consequently, the unstable free radicals, which have the ability to attract electrons from other atoms or molecules, go about swiping electrons from other stable atoms. This taking of an electron from another atom means that the free radical is now balanced and is no longer a free radical. But the atom or molecule from which the electron was taken is now damaged, and it additionally becomes a free radical. This sets off a chain reaction of damage within the body. In their reckless search for electrons, free radicals do a lot of structural damage to healthy cells.
 
This reaction is proven to cause all types of cancers and illnesses!
 
STOP the chain reaction by feeding your body the antioxidants to stop them in their tracks!

Poisons Under Your Sink: Hidden Dangers of Cleaning Products
by Glenn Beach

The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) has recorded many exposures to household cleaning substances that were serious enough to require treatment in a health care facility. Incredibly, according to the AAPCC the largest number of occurrences of poisoning in 1993 were due to cleaning products - drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, soaps and detergents. 

One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion. Some are fatal.  Thousands of children and adults are permanently disfigured or injured through contact with chemicals in the home each year. 

Our pets are also at risk.  Animals that don't have access to clean, fresh water are more likely to drink out of puddles, gutters, toilet bowls, or any old container left sitting around with a liquid in it.  Even though my cats always have access to clean water in a bowl, they seem to prefer the toilet, the sink, the bathtub, or even a basin with cleaning solution in it.

Here is an alphabetical list of some of the most hazardous cleansers found around the house:

AIR FRESHENERS: interfere with your ability to smell by releasing nerve-deadening agents or coating nasal passages with an oil film, usually methoxychlor, a pesticide that accumulates in fat cells. Known toxic chemicals found in an air freshener are formaldehyde, a highly toxic, known carcinogen, and phenol.  When phenol touches your skin it can cause it to swell, burn, peel, and break out in hives.

AMMONIA: is a very volatile chemical and is very damaging to your eyes, respiratory tract and skin.

ANTIBACTERIAL CLEANERS: may contain triclosan, which is absorbed through the skin and can be tied to liver damage.

BLEACH: is a strong corrosive. It will irritate or burn the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It may cause pulmonary edema or vomiting and coma if ingested.  Never mix bleach with acid toilet bowl cleaners or ammonia. These mixtures may produce fumes which can be DEADLY.

CARPET AND UPHOLSTERY SHAMPOO: Most formulas are designed to over
power the stain itself; they accomplish the task but not without using highly toxic substances. Some include perchlorethylene, a known carcinogen that damages liver, kidney and nervous system damage; and ammonium hydroxide, a corrosive, extremely irritable to eyes, skin and respiratory passages.

CHLORINE: The first agent of chemical warfare was chlorine. WWII ended with an abundance of this cheap chemical. In the name of huge profits, it was added to our water supply and many other products. Chlorine is the number one cause of breast cancer and can be lethal. Scientists won't handle chlorine without protective gloves, facemasks, and ventilation, yet it is in most store-brand cleaners, including dishwasher detergents. The harmful effects are intensified when the fumes are heated, as in the shower. It is in our drinking water, swimming pools, Jacuzzis, and more.

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS: Most products contain chlorine in a dry form that is highly concentrated.  The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent.   Dishwashing liquids are labelled "harmful if swallowed."   Each time you wash your dishes, some residue is left on them, which accumulates with each washing.   Your food picks up part of the residue -- especially if your meal is hot when you eat it.

FURNITURE POLISH: contain petroleum distillates, which are highly flammable and can cause skin and lung cancer.  They contain nitrobenzene, which is easily absorbed through the skin and extremely toxic.

LAUNDRY ROOM PRODUCTS: Laundry detergents contain phosphorus, enzymes, ammonia, naphthalene, phenol, sodium nitilotriacetate and countless other chemicals. These substances can cause rashes, itches, allergies, sinus problems and more. The residue left on your clothes, bed sheets, etc. is absorbed through your skin, as is everything else you touch.

OVEN CLEANER: one of the most toxic products people use. They contain lye and ammonia, which eat the skin, and the fumes linger and affect the respiratory system. Then there - the residue that - intensified the next time you turn your oven on. Use sea salt and baking soda instead.

TOILET BOWL CLEANERS: usually contain hydrochloric acid, a highly corrosive irritant to both skin and eyes that damages kidneys and liver; and hypochlorite bleach, a corrosive irritant that can burn eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Toilet bowl cleaners also may cause pulmonary edema, vomiting or coma if ingested. Contact with other chemicals may cause chlorine fumes which may be fatal.

Are you one of the millions of consumers who tend to think anything sold must be safe?  Think again.  Since WWII more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been invented. Most have been created from petroleum and coal tar for the purposes of chemical warfare. The sad thing is that hardly any of these substances have been tested for safety, but have been added to our food, water and cleaning products without our consent and most often without informing us of any dangers. There is a lot of intentional suppression in this industry that adds approximately 1000 new chemicals each year.

According to the National Research Council, "no toxic information is available for more than 80% of the chemicals in everyday-use products. Less than 20% have been tested for acute effects and less than 10% have been tested for chronic, reproductive or mutagenic effects."  Most have not been tested for combined or accumulated effects, nor for their effects on unborn children. 

What can you do to protect your loved ones from chemical injury and poisoning? 

First of all, educate yourself, and find safer alternatives as much as possible. 

Secondly, minimize use of harsh chemicals.  Clean spills and stains immediately, remove food waste promptly, keep home moisture/humidity down to 30-50%, and use entry way mats at all entrances.

Third, store all cleaning agents in their original containers out of the reach of children. Follow the directions on the label and use only the amount of product recommended.  Read labels, follow safety precautions and contact the manufacturer if you have questions.

By definition, we clean our homes to reduce damage or harm to human and pet health, and to protect our valued possessions.  Let's not make the solution worse than the problem!

FOOD OF THE WEEK

A Little Cabbage Wannabe, Brussel Sprouts!
 
I love these little green cabbage wannabe's, but I wondered exactly what they contained and how I am benefiting from them and found some really good things? Named after the capital of Belgium, where they are believed to have first been cultivated.
 
The perfect miniature versions of the cabbage, Brussels sprouts are available year round. They are, however, at their best from autumn through early spring when they are at the peak of their growing season.
 
Brussels sprouts are members of the Brassica (cruciferous) family and therefore kin to broccoli as well as cabbage. They grow in bunches of 20 to 40 on the stem of a plant that grows from two to three feet tall.
 
Sprouts manage to pack a whollop with folate, beta carotene along with vitamins E, A, B5, B3, B 12, B6, B1, K, tryptophan. Then the minerals present are potassium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, calcium but that's still not all there are omega 3 fatty acids and all this in that little green miniature cabbage wannabe. Healthy eating at it's best?
 
Plant phytochemicals found in Brussels sprouts spur on the activity of the body's natural defense systems to protect against disease, including cancer. Scientists have found that sulforaphane, a potent phytonutrient found in Brussel sprouts and other brassica vegetables, boosts the body's detoxification enzymes, potentially by altering gene expression, thus helping to clear potentially carcinogenic substances more quickly. Additionally, researchers in the Netherlands investigated the effect of a diet high in Brussels sprouts on DNA damage. They compared two groups of healthy male volunteers. Five men ate a diet that included 300 g (about 10 ounces) of cooked Brussels sprouts daily, while the other five men ate a diet free of cruciferous vegetables. After three weeks, the group that ate Brussels sprouts had 28% decrease in measured DNA damage. Reduced DNA damage may very well translate to a reduced risk of cancer since mutations in DNA allow cancer cells to develop.
 
When brussels and other cruciferous vegetables are cut, chewed or digested, a sulfur-containing compound called sinigrin is brought into contact with the enzyme myrosinase, resulting in the release of glucose and breakdown products, including highly reactive compounds called isothiocyanates. Isothiocyanates are not only potent inducers of the liver's Phase II enzymes, which detoxify carcinogens, but research conducted at the Institute for Food Research in the U.K. shows one of these compounds, allylisothicyanate, also inhibits cell division and stimulates programmed cell death in human tumor cells. A very good thing!
 
Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin C, the body's primary water-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin C supports immune function and the manufacture of collagen, a protein that forms the ground substance of body structures including the skin, connective tissue, cartilage, and tendons. A large study conducted on nearly 20,000 men and women in England found that people with the highest vitamin C levels had half the risk of dying from heart disease, stroke or cancer. Risk of dying from heart disease was reduced by 71% in men and 59% for women in the group with the highest vitamin C levels.
 
How to Select and Store
 
Brussels sprouts should be firm, compact and vivid green. No yellowed or wilted leaves and should not be puffy or soft in texture. If Brussels sprouts are sold individually, choose those of equal size to ensure that they will cook evenly
 
Cleaning Fresh Brussels;
Before washing Brussels sprouts, remove stems and any yellow or discolored leaves. Wash them well under running water or soak them in a bowl of water to remove any insects that may reside in the inner leaves.
 
Brussels sprouts are usually cooked whole. Cut an "X? in the bottom of the stem before cooking to allow the heat to permeate throughout all of the leaves and better ensure an even texture.
 
While Brussels sprouts are usually served as a side dish, warm, they also make a nice addition to cold salads.
 
Our favorite ways of eating brussel sprouts are;
Braise Brussels sprouts in steamed with salt and pepper. Or toss quartered cooked Brussels sprouts with sliced red onions, walnuts, black olive slices and your favorite mild tasting cheese such as a goat cheese or feta. Toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for an exceptionally healthy, delicious side dish.
 
Keep unwashed and untrimmed Brussels sprouts in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator, in a perforated plastic bag, for three to four days. If you want to freeze Brussels sprouts, blanch them first for between three to five minutes. They will keep in the freezer for up to one year. If kept at room temperature, their leaves will turn yellow quickly.
 
Now I know why I love these little things and you should love them too!

Is Something Else Causing Mental Illness?
By Lena Sanchez
 
The brain is a sturdy yet fragile organ that we tend to ignore, yet expecting it to function properly and give us the acuity needed! And we are failing it miserably today, by not giving it the nutrients needed to work efficiently!
 
It's not totally your fault that your brain isn't functioning up to it's potential, as our farmers are failing us by not growing nutrient rich foods that our brain needs! Many decades ago farming didn't require all the fertilizers and chemicals now used and they rotated crops in a seven year pattern affording the ground's sufficient nutrients according to the rotation pattern. Past foods contained 75 - 80 per cent more nutrients than today. A fact verified
many years ago see http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/1936_excerpt.htm
 
Your brain requires a nutrient balance to work properly. It is my opinion along with several scientists that when the brain is given the proper balance of minerals we can prevent a multitude of mental problems (chemical imbalances).
 
Your brain uses 50% of your energy and only occupies a small portion of your total body volume, yet is the most important organ in your body. Are you frequently tired? Are you forgetting things that shouldn't be forgotten? Are you experiencing brain confusion, even to the point of hallucinating? What phobias threaten to overtake you?
 
All those symptoms can be created by a malnourished brain! Your brain requires complete minerals and trace minerals to function on all plateaus. Are you putting ALL of them into your brain?  Or are you putting in all the chemicals and hormones fed animals to fatten them and make them worth more dollars? Or the few enrichments in your cereals and foods that drain your brain power?
 
I've watched bipolar problems disappear with complete daily mineral and nutrient supplementation. I've seen ADD and ADHD disappear in children when given the same supplementation. The medical world agrees that
 
most mental illness comes from a chemical imbalance. Well, what are those chemicals? I call them minerals they call them chemicals
 
Not only are people suffering from brain malnourishment. Our animals are also suffering and going unnoticed! An animals healthy life is far shorter than it was many years ago.
 
For instance the Mad Cow Disease (BSE) that is now detected in the U.S. as it was in the UK and not only affecting the cows but our wild animals and I suspect our domesticated animals as well, but testing isn't being done on them to know for sure. So this theory is mine alone, well not totally.
 
A Cambridge Professor, David Brown, PhD was able to reproduce 4 of the 4 protein transformations required to create the mutant prion that causes BSE with mineral imbalances.
 
Strangely enough antelope at the London Zoo and cattle at an experimental farm developed BSE that had never been fed the MBM feed (feed containing dead and decaying animals) that the scientists say is the cause of BSE. What they did find was a mineral imbalance in the animals feed.
 
These findings are our canary in the mine, but nobody is listening because they think it sounds too simple! I don't know about you but I think simple is much better and something we can do without spending billions of dollars!
 
It now takes more than our foodstuff, that we or our animals are privy to, to provide our brain sufficient nourishment to function properly.
 
My suggestion is; if you have been diagnosed with a problem that involves the brain start giving it the right nutrients and you may find that your Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zoloft or other antidepressant isn't necessary after all! At least it's an inexpensive place to start and I bet the majority of the time will be successful!
 
If you want info on a balanced mineral complex mailto:lena@envirodocs.com?subject=MineralRec
 
Give your brain what it needs and it will be there for you!

Report: Warming May Lower Rice Yield
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID

WASHINGTON (AP) - Global warming could mean bad news for one of the world's most important crops, rice. Increased nighttime temperatures were associated with significant declines in crop yield at the International Rice Research Institute Farm in the Philippines, according to a report in Monday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Indeed, an average daily temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius resulted in a 10 percent reduction in the rice crop, according to the researchers. One degree Celsius equals about 1.8 degree Fahrenheit.

Increasing temperatures, thought to be a result of heat trapped by industrial and other chemicals in the atmosphere, have caused mounting concern in recent years. Scientists have argued over the potential effects of climate change on crops, largely basing their contentions on laboratory tests and computer models of climate and crop yield.

This new study was a direct measurement of yields under field conditions using practices that good farmers would employ, said lead researcher Kenneth G. Cassman of the University of Nebraska.

Mary M. Peet, a professor of horticulture at North Carolina State University, who was not part of the research group, said the report was important "in that it links yield decreases in a particular location to increases in night temperature. Many models have assumed that increases in (carbon dioxide) with global climate change will compensate for higher temperatures, but field data like this is valuable in pointing out that even at higher CO2 levels, warmer temperatures still have a negative effect."

Cassman and colleagues studied 12 years of rice yields at the farm, along with weather data, to reach their conclusions.

The results are generally similar to findings reported last year following a 17-year study of U.S. crop yields. That study indicated that increases in temperature resulted in reductions in corn and soybean yields.

Cassman said researchers are working to determine the cause of the reduction, but they speculate that it is because the hotter nights make the plants work harder just to maintain themselves, diverting energy from growth.

"If you think about it, world records for the marathon occur at cooler temperatures because it takes much more energy to maintain yourself when running at high temperatures. A similar phenomenon occurs with plants," he said.

Tim L. Setter, a professor of soil, crop and atmospheric science at Cornell University, commented that higher nighttime temperatures "could consume carbohydrates in a nonproductive way, and by reducing the reserves of carbohydrates, particularly at time of flowering and early grain filling, would decrease the number of kernels that would be set."

Setter, who was not a part of the rice research team, said a recent study in corn had shown that the number of kernels was decreased when researchers experimentally increased the night temperatures.

Cassman commented that rice production has stagnated in recent years in some key producing regions of Asia.

"That's something that hasn't been on the radar screen and needs to get more attention," he said.

The new study was funded by the International Rice Research Institute and the Agricultural Research Division of the University of Nebraska.
