 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)

EDITORS' RANTING
+++++++++++++++++++++

Greetings and thank you for reading A Natural Environmental Health Facts!

Peter DeRiso and anyone else who has contacted me and has not received an answer within the last 24 hours please resend your request. My email program has gone berserk, it is putting most of my email in a junk folder with thousands of emails and when I hit "not junk" to move it to the IN folder it is disappearing into limbo. I have recognized this happening in the last two days only, after an update was done. Hopefully I have repaired that problem, but just in case resend if you haven't heard from me.

Today will find me preparing for my 88 year-old father's visit. He is unnecessarily blind, bad medical advice about thirty years ago! So it is a challenge to get a room organized that he will not run into objects and hurt himself. He has a little peripheral vision but not much. So it's off the Phoenix again tomorrow to meet him at the airport.

His and my grandmother's blindness and my projected to be blind by now has always been one of the driving forces behind my need to know as much about traditional and alternative medicine as possible. I have averted that blind fate and my vision is great, something I could not say when I lost my drivers license in 1997. My inability to pass a vision test necessary for getting a license pushed me to do a lot of research, which is now allowing me to see and drive. I found out that blindness is not always an absolute with macular degeneration or glaucoma as the medical profession informed me and a lot of others. I wish I had known that when my father was going through his crises.

Please keep Florida and the other states in Ivan's path in your thoughts and prayers! At this writing it is still bearing down on them...

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

Habits Create and Eradicate Disease not Medicine
By Shane Ellison M.Sc.
Copyright 2004 - All Rights Reserved

Courtesy of www.healthmyths.net

The implication by health professionals that the benefit of vaccination outweighs the risk is ill thought out, yet common.  Ironically, those who advocate vaccination have little to zero formal training in the areas of virology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, epidemiology, or physiology, all of which are required to properly judge the safety and efficacy of vaccination.  Not having such training, many are easily persuaded into accepting the pharmaceutically campaigned health myth which dictates that the decline of disease (especially among children) is due to vaccination. 

Injecting a live virus into a child (vaccination) and hoping that it affords them immunity is antiquated science, and has never prevented disease.  The major element in eradicating disease from society has been changing our lifestyle habits.  Glaring examples exist.  Medical doctors who learned to wash their hands (circa 1850) with soap and water before each examination of a new mother plummeted disease rates among newborn babies.  The black plaque, killing 2 million, was not eradicated with vaccination, but rather by the meticulous act of ridding living quarters of, black rats, which carried infected fleas.  With respect to children, lifestyle habits that our early ancestors were not privy to such as nutrition, regular bathing, and modern sewage disposal have proven more beneficial than vaccination in warding of deadly disease such as measles, rubella, and diphtheria.  Therefore, we don't need to force our children into the game of roulette associated with vaccine use.

The take home message - habits create and eradicate disease, not vaccines.  For the record, that unvaccinated children are a threat to vaccinated ones has little thought process behind it.  Vaccinate children carry the virus, not the unvaccinated ones.  But having a resilient immune system and a healthy lifestyle, the unvaccinated are completely safe from those children who have been inoculated (i.e. infected) with the live virus.  The real danger lies among health professionals who fail to "do their homework" and instead blindly accept "Health Myths" promulgated by those who stand to profit from them.

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

FDA Works For Us?


A 2002 FDA law stipulates that any clinical study of a treatment's effectiveness against serious disease - whether it's industry-sponsored, government-backed or independent in nature - must be listed as part of a publicly accessible database, ClinicalTrials.gov . And indeed, more than 90% of the studies conducted by entities like the National Cancer Institute and others are currently listed. Not a bad rate of compliance, right?
 
According to a recent Associated Press article, the FDA's own reporting shows that the pharmaceuticals industry's rate of compliance with this law is LESS THAN 50%. And what's even scarier is that the vast majority of drug-related disease studies are conducted by Big Pharma, yet only 13% of the research posted on www.ClinicalTrials.gov  is from industry-funded studies!
 
How can this be, you're asking? Isn't this an automatic felony?
 
Technically, yes, the drug-biz fat cats are felons for not coughing up the results of all their clinical drug trials - so the government COULD prosecute them for their blatant deception. There's only one small problem: The way the FDA drafted the law, there's NO PENALTY FOR BREAKING IT!
 
Yep, that's right. When it wrote the law, the FDA made certain of its un-enforceability, thereby accomplishing two things: First, they made sure that drug companies won't have to tell anyone what they know about what their poisons are doing to us; and second, they gave themselves "plausible deniability." It's brilliant - the FDA can point to all these guidelines and laws that seem to show they've got our best interests in mind, but the truth is that they're really designed to give their cronies a free pass! Diabolical, but brilliant on their part, especially since the FDA advisory board is made up of pharmaceutical industry CEO's and such.

Fish Oil Supplements Work!

Studies show consumption of omega-3 fatty acids--found in oily fish and fish oils--protects against coronary heart disease. Findings also show that both consumption of fish and higher blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with a decreased risk of sudden death.

After reviewing 11 studies, researchers concluded that omega-3 fatty acids appear to provide the following benefits:

Normalize heart rhythms
Reduce blood clots
Reduce hardening of the arteries
Anti-inflammatory
Improves blood vessel lining function
Lowers blood pressure
Lowers triglyceride levels


With these findings, researchers advise that omega-3 fatty acids from oily fish or fish oil should be considered in the secondary prevention regimen of patients after a heart attack. BMJ Journals

Antibiotic Interaction May Raise Heart Death Risk 
By Gene Emery

BOSTON (Reuters) - Doctors have known for years that the antibiotic erythromycin can, in rare cases, spark an abnormal and sometimes fatal heartbeat. But combining it with several common drugs may dramatically increase that risk, researchers warned on Wednesday.

Their analysis of 1,476 sudden deaths in Tennessee found a fivefold increase in the chance of dropping dead from a heart attack among people taking erythromycin plus one of a handful of drugs.

Yet even erythromycin, if used alone, doubled the risk of sudden death, said the team, led by Wayne Ray of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville.

"We were very surprised. We were expecting maybe a slight increase in deaths, if anything," he told Reuters.

The drug is a general-purpose antibiotic that is

commonly prescribed. Between 1970 and 1996, 49 cases of erythromycin-related fatal or life-threatening heart rhythm problems were reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

More recently, research has shown that some drugs can double the time it takes for the body to break down erythromycin, increasing the risk that the antibiotic will disrupt the heart's rhythm.

But until the new study, published in this week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, the scope of the erythromycin risk had not been assessed.

"People knew that, in theory, this might pose a problem, but this is the first study to document serious outcomes," Ray said.

Two of the drugs found to interact with erythromycin are fairly common.

One is diltiazem, also known as Cardizem, which is prescribed to fight the chest pain of angina, lower high blood pressure and, at times, restore circulation to fingers and toes in people with Raynaud's syndrome. Diltiazem is also sold under the brand names Tiazac and Dilacor.    Continued ...

The Fruit That Played A Role In Knights Of Old!
 
Our pear tree had fruit this year like we have never seen and tempted the ravens, worms and goats to eat to their hearts content, if we didn't get to them first! I started wondering why they were all so interested in them and why we have to fight nature to get the best.
 
These sweet juicy yellow, green and sometimes a musty brown fruit with a rounded shape that becomes narrower towards the stalk and has kind of a grainy texture that turns some people off. Pears offer a healthy snack as well as a healthy ingredient in many recipes.  Full of natural nutritious fiber!
 
Pear History  is kind of interesting and dating back to the early Asian history!
 
Pears are one of the world's oldest cultivated and beloved fruits. In 5,000 B.C., Feng Li, a Chinese diplomat became consumed by grafting peaches, almonds, persimmons, pears and apples as a commercial venture. In The Odyssey, the Greek poet laureate Homer lauds pears as a "gift of the gods." Pomona, goddess of fruit, was a cherished member of the Roman Pantheon and Roman farmers documented extensive pear growing and grafting techniques. Thanks to their versatility and long storage life, pears were a valuable and much-desired commodity among the trading routes of the ancient world. Evident in the works of Renaissance Masters, pears have long been an elegant still-life muse for artists. In the 17th century a great flourishing of modern pear variety cultivation began taking place in Europe. And in popular culture, the pear tree was immortalized alongside a partridge in the 18th-century Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas.
 
Early colonists brought the first pear trees to America's eastern settlements where they thrived until crop blights proved too severe to sustain widespread cultivation. Fortunately, the pear trees brought west to Oregon and Washington by pioneers in the 1800's thrived in the unique agricultural conditions found in the Pacific Northwest. Today's Northwest pear varieties are the same or similar to those first cultivated in France and Belgium where they were prized for their delicate flavor, buttery texture, and long storage life.
 
Pears are picked when they are almost ripe. The fruit will come off if you lift the fruit vertically, signally time to pick. Pears ripen best at room temperature. If you want too keep them a few days you have to keep them in a dark and cold place. There's no need to peel a pear... their tender, edible skin is an additional and nutritional source of fiber. A medium sized pear provides 4 grams of fiber, or 16% of the recommended daily value. Always wash all fresh fruits and vegetables before serving.
 
More levulose - the sweetest of known natural sugars - is found in fresh pears than any other fruit, which doesn't really sound like it's good for dieting. Well, levulose is easily digested and plays a role in energizing the metabolism thereby helping to bring about weight loss. The pear is rich in the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium - 30% more than an apple - , Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium Not short changed in the vitamin department either containing; Vitamin C, B-6, B-12, A, E, Rhiamin,  Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate, Folic acid  and the little known DFE.  
 
There are many varieties of pears to choose from and should hit just about any desire!
 
*Yellow Bartlett (Bart-let) U.S. Availability in August through January ripens to bright yellow, perfect for fresh eating. Very sweet and juicy. Excellent for canning or cooking. 
 
*Red Bartlett (Bart-let) Availability in August through January Bright red skin when fully ripe. Same flavor, texture and use as yellow Bartletts.
 
* Green Anjou (On-ju) Availability in October through June. Abundant juice and sweet flavor when ripe. They do not change color as they ripen.
 
* Red Anjou (On-ju) Availability in October through May. Much the same flavor and texture as green Anjous. Remains maroon red when ripe.
 
* Bosc (Bahsk) Availability in August through April. Highly aromatic flavorful pear. Dense flesh makes it ideal for baking and cooking. They are brown and often russeted. They do not change color as they ripen. 
 
* Comice (Co-meece) Availability in August through February. One of the sweetest, juiciest varieties, and often are very large. An elegant dessert pear that's excellent with cheese. Almost no color change when ripe. 
 
* Seckel (Seck?l) Availability in August through February. Tiny pears with ultra-sweet flavor, maroon and olive green in color. Excellent choice for children's snacks, pickling, or as a garnish. No color change when ripened.
 
* Forelle (For-ell) Availability in September through February. A smaller variety. Turns bright yellow with crimson freckling when ripe. Sweet, very juicy.
 
Our favorite way of eating pears is fresh and raw but poached pears are excellent as well. Here is a tasty and handy relish recipe that is versatile and nourishing, originally taken from http://www.hugs.org 
 
Pear Relish
 
Great on toast, English muffins or as a relish for meats.
 
      8  quarts of Pears
      6  Onions
      3  Red bell peppers
      3  Green bell peppers
      5  cups apple cider Vinegar
      3  teaspoons Salt
      1  teaspoon Pickling spices
      1  teaspoon Turmeric
      3  cup  Sugar
 
Grind vegetables. Combine with remaining ingredients; bring to a boil and boil until thickened, about 30 minutes. Seal in pint jars. Makes about 8 pints.

Enjoy a new food every week,
Lena

B As Happy As A B!
(c) By Lena Sanchez
 
A simple little supplement that has such huge ramifications if your body is devoid of sufficient amounts!
 
Having suffered from motion sickness for my entire life I was not anticipating a trip across the ocean, even a short distance to Catalina Island by boat. Especially since all I had to do was walk out on a pier and look down through the boardwalk to become nauseous even to the point of vomiting every time...  I mentioned this to one of my employees as I lamented about knowing I would ruin the day with my motion sickness. She then told me how she combats motion sickness, one each of B1, B6 & B Complex vitamins taken a couple of hours before departing and for good measure, the night before as well... So my husband and I took them the night before and again before we left to go to Long Beach to get on the boat. Lo and behold, it worked. Had a great trip without an inkling of motion sickness, in fact most of others in our group were very ill on the return ride back, due to a rough seas, but not myself or my husband.
 
I must have been born vitamin B deficient, or at least it seemed that way, since my childhood was spent with motion sickness, with my fathers wandering travels across country. Any back seat trip meant vomiting and a horrific time.
 
I now no longer experience motion sickness as I take daily supplemental meganutrient vitamins and ionic liquid minerals!
 
My older daughter had always suffered with canker/cold sores on her mouth and with my study into B vitamins I discovered that was a common symptom of B deficiency... Now she is free of canker sores as long as she takes her liquid minerals and meganutrient vitamins!
 
I soon found a lot of other symptoms that point to a B vitamin deficiency.
 
A common classical symptom of B complex deficiency is depression and the tendency to cry without any particular reason, mostly seen in women. This is a trigger to let you know that you are dangerously lacking in B vitamins and/or a multitude of minerals and trace minerals. 
 
Research conducted at Tufts University suggests that blood levels of various B vitamins that fall at the lower end of the "normal" range can interfere with mental dexterity. Even though that appears to be an acceptable range. A severe deficiency does not have to be present for memory impairment to occur. Taking B vitamins particularly B-12, B-6, folic acid, biotin and niacin may reverse memory problems, according to the study.
 
The participants in the study were given 10 times the RDA of B vitamins for more than a year and those taking the B vitamins demonstrated significant improvements in memory. 
 
A vitamin B complex deficiency puts a tremendous level of stress on the adrenal glands and often those deficient in the B's will also need adrenal supporting supplements.
 
A simple test can verify if you are in the adrenal compromised group;
Lay down and rest for a minimum of five minutes, have your blood pressure taken while lying. Then stand immediately and take the blood pressure to assess low adrenal function. The higher number of the blood pressure measurement should read at least ten points greater upon standing, than it was when lying down. If your blood pressure is not 10 points greater or if it goes down when you stand up, reduced adrenal function is suspect. The degree of hypoadrenalism is often proportionate to the degree the blood pressure drops
(Balch, 1997: 91, 92).
 
If that's you get on quality supplementation of Ionic minerals and MegaNutient vitamins with lots of B vitamins. Repeat the test after two weeks of supplementing to see if you have progressed up or down.
 
In "Vitamin B Complex in Human Nutrition," Judith DeCava, Ph.D lists many other possible symptoms of a B complex deficiency are:
 
mild to severe depression - forgetfulness - vague fears - uneasiness to panic - mood swings - rage - morbid thoughts - hostility - restlessness - apprehension - constant feeling that something dreadful is going to happen - suspicions - instability -anxiety -mental confusion - noise sensitivity - inability to handle stress - hearing noises, voices, etc. - loss of ability to concentrate - impaired intellect - loss of memory - nervousness -  weakness - fatigue - lightheadedness or dizziness - digestive problems - hypochlorhydria (insufficient stomach acid production) - constipation or diarrhea - stomach pains - decreased or increased appetite - craving for sweets - heart palpitations - chest pains - neuralgia to neuritis - muscular soreness - pain, tingling or achiness - cold hands and feet - heightened sensitivity to touch and/or pain - menstrual complaints - soreness of the mouth - dermatitis - acne - burning or itching eyes - difficulty swallowing - sore throat - hypochondria - headaches - insomnia or sleep disturbances.
 
So the question of "To B or Not To B" should point the way "To B" if you have any of the symptoms noted above... It's cheaper than going through a battery of tests that the doctor will or should order and fail to detect a B deficiency... If after faithfully taking Minerals and vitamins for several weeks and the symptoms persist then see your doctor!

Extinction May Have Trickle-Down Effect
Sep 9,2004


WASHINGTON (AP) - Conservationists concerned about the extinction of plants and animals may be overlooking the danger to thousands of other species that depend on the threatened ones.

A team of researchers led by Lian Pin Koh of the National University of Singapore studied some 12,200 plants and animals considered threatened or endangered, and calculated that an additional 6,300 dependent insects, mites, fungi and other species could be considered endangered.

"What we found is that with the extinction of a bird, or a mammal or a plant, you aren't just necessarily wiping out just one, single species. We're also allowing all these unsung dependent species to be wiped out as well," one member of the team, Heather Proctor of Canada's University of Alberta, said in a statement.

Their findings, based on a mathematical model, are reported in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.

In many cases, species facing coextinction tend to be things like mites and lice. But some others are more likely to be missed by humans, such as a type of butterfly from Singapore that disappeared after the vines that had provided food for its larvae became extinct.

Overall, the researchers said, the loss of one species when a different one becomes extinct shows how interconnected the world is.

"What we wanted to learn was, if the host goes extinct, how many other species will go with it," Proctor said.

"It would be easy if there were always a one-to-one relationship with a host and its affiliate; however, not all parasites, for example, are restricted to a single host species," Proctor said. "The trick was in trying to determine how many other species could act as hosts and factoring that degree of dependence into the study."

Using their model the group calculated that extinction of the 6,279 plants listed as threatened or endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources would also result in the loss of 4,672 species of beetles and 136 types of butterfly.

Loss of the 1,194 threatened birds could also mean disappearance of 342 species of lice and 193 types of mites.

Of the 114 endangered primates were to go extinct, they said, there could also be the loss of 20 types of nematodes, 12 lice and nine fungi to depend on the primates.
