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)

Greetings and thank you for reading A Natural Environmental
Health Facts!
Oh my, it's midweek and midmonth already and my goals are not
even half covered. Having my blind 88 year-old father with me takes a
lot of time that is usually spent working. Oh well, he's more important
and our days together are limited... That's the beauty of having a home
based business. I can take time for the ones I care about...
This week has been one of learning patience. My hard headed father will
not even begin to try natural treatments. He isn't healthy but he won't
listen. It's his father-knows-best attitude and you're my daughter that
is doing him in. Just as Jesus home town wouldn't listen to him, my
father thinks I'm still his little girl and don't know anything.
☺ Really quite funny, mind you I'm
67 years old but he still cannot get it into his head that I'm capable
of being grown up... One minute he's saying how proud he is of my life
and how I've helped people yet I've tried for years to convince him he
needs supplements but he just won't listen. He now has diabetes and
prostate cancer but still will not accept that his lack of nutrients and
years of eating almost totally fired foods could be the culprit. His
favorite smart remark, "I eat whatever I like and nobody can tell me
food is bad!" Stubbornness can be deadly!
If you have a question or comment (good or bad) send it to me...

Something To Think About
============================
Fibromyalgia Relief for Women
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The antidepressant duloxetine, also known as
Cymbalta, may significantly reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia in women,
according to a new study.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder that is characterized
by body pain, muscle tenderness, headaches, sleep disturbances, and
fatigue. The condition is nearly six-times more common in women than it
is in men.
Researchers from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
studied more than 200 men and women with the disorder. Nearly 90 percent
of these patients were women.
About half of the participants received 60 milligrams of duloxetine
twice a day, while the other half received a placebo.
Researchers say the women in the study reported significant improvement
in symptoms, while the men did not. The female patients treated with
duloxetine reported improvements in pain and tenderness. However, the
men did not report any significant changes.
Researchers say, "The reasons for the sex differences in response are
unclear. Because the male subgroup was small, reflecting the much higher
prevalence of fibromyalgia in women, the results of the study may not be
generalizable to all men with fibromyalgia. There may also be sex
differences in fibromyalgia that affect treatment response."
Duloxetine works by stopping the reuptake of serotonin and
norepinephrine, two of the brain?s neurotransmitters that are linked to
mood.
Authors conclude, "Our results suggest that duloxetine improves pain
and tenderness, the hallmark characteristics of fibromyalgia. The effect
of duloxetine on the reduction of pain appears to be independent of its
effect on mood."
SOURCE: Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2004;50:2974-2984
LENA'S COMMENT: I'm not saying rush to your doctor and get this
medication. Just reporting the latest in fibromyalgia traditional
medicine. Since 1995 I have taken a formula of herbs that does the same
as the chemical version without the side effects of the chemicals...
Alternatives medicine is ahead of the traditional medical community by
years but too few people take them seriously, because the drug companies
have brain washed the world to depend on them only!
=======================
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Does It Matter?
You're thinking about two nutritionally similar
breakfasts: One is higher in fat, but the calories, vitamins and
minerals are the same in both.
According to the British Journal of Nutrition, it really does matter
where the calories come from. Almost anyway!
Researchers from the pathology department at Papworth Hospital in
Cambridge, UK, compared the effects of the two nutritionally similar
breakfasts on a group of volunteers. The only real difference between
the meals was that one contained about 6 grams of fat and the other
contained 28 grams. Total calories, however, were about the same.
While most results were similar, the high fat meal led to higher serum
glucose -- and more insulin release. And that leads to a greater
waist-to-hip ratio. A greater waist-to-hip ratio leads to an increased
risk of blood clots, which can cause heart attacks and strokes.

Hepatitis B
Virus Vaccine said to INCREASE MS Risk!
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination increases the risk
of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), according to the results of a
nested, case-control study published in the Sept. 14 issue of Neurology.
lead author Miguel A. Hernan, MD, DrPH, from the Harvard School of
Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, was stated by the news report, "We
estimated that immunization against hepatitis B was associated with a
threefold increase in the incidence of MS within the three years
following vaccination."

A food delicacy with huge medical ramifications!
Because of it's great qualities a book could be written here about these
delicacies, but I will try to hone it down to a rather large article!
There are a multitude of mushrooms on the market but I am going to focus
on the Reishi aka (Ganoderma Lucidum aka Ling-Zhi).
Their rich, smoky flavor have also endeared them to American taste buds
and these exotic hearty mushrooms can now be found in supermarket
shelves across the U.S. throughout the year. If your local store does
not carry fresh reishi mushrooms, investigate the Asian food stores in
your area as they oftentimes carry these specialty mushrooms.
Like other mushrooms, these specialty mushrooms are as mysteriously
unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and
prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of
living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds.
Reishi is the Japanese name for the Ganoderma family of mushrooms. In
Chinese, they are called "ling-zhi." Reishi is a large, dark, mushroom
with a glossy exterior. In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is in
the most highly rated herb category in terms of multiple benefits, used
as a medicinal herb, absent of side effects.
There are 6 different types of Reishi differentiated only by color: red,
purple, blue, yellow, black, white, recorded in Chinese pharmacopoeia
are actually one species grown under different conditions.
Brief History;
Reischi is believed to have been known since at least the reign of "Fuxi",
a legendary ruler of that time known also as the first of the Three
August Ones.
Seng Nong, the Holy farmer, who was the second of the Three August Ones,
is said to have discovered the curative virtues of plants by tasting
hundreds of species. "Seng Nong's Herbal Classic" is considered to be
the earliest manuscript on Chinese materia medica and is still today the
foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and in general all Oriental
Medicine.
Reishi also contains ergosterols, complete proteins, unsaturated
fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
Reishi, known in China as an "elixir of immortality," has been used for
more than 3,000 years to rev up the immune system and heal chronic
inflammatory conditions. Dozens of preliminary studies support its
anti-inflammatory properties. One Chinese study found
that of the more than 2,000 people with chronic bronchitis who took
reishi syrup for two weeks, 60% to 90% said they felt better. (Reishi
syrup is a long drawn out process.)
6 species of Ling-zhi, differentiated by colors, are mentioned in the
Seng Nong classic. Li Shi Zhen, a famous medical scholar in the Ming
Dynasty (1368-1644) introduced the indications of the 6 species
concretely. The work of the latter was republished in 1956, and
translated into several foreign languages including Japanese, English,
French, German, Russian and Latin and is regarded as the cornerstone of
Traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, an estimated 4,300 tons of reischi/ling-zhi is produced yearly in
the world, with China producing 3,000 tons followed by Korea, Taiwan,
Japan, Thailand, USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Reishi is the Prednisone of foods!
Prednisone, the corticosteroid used to treat a variety of inflammatory
ailments -- arthritis, asthma, colitis and some cancers -- and to
prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Its nasty side effects - from
a swollen "moon face" to increased infections - are legendary. But what
many people don't know is that this medicinal reishe mushroom could, in
some cases, do as good a job without wreaking the prednisone havoc on
the body.
The best part - its side effects are as minimal as those you might have
from taking a placebo. The side effects, if any, will be less than
one-quarter of those you might have with prednisone -- and the cost is
less than one-quarter that of a drug prescription.
Medicinal Preparation in early times consisted of a long process of
boiling the mushrooms for hours or let them soak in alcohol for weeks so
as to be able to drink them after the ingredients were dissolved.
While prednisone has its place for short-term life-threatening
conditions, it may save your life. But if you have an ongoing
inflammatory condition, reishi may be the best first line of treatment.
Recently, researchers at Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai Tumor
Hospital, and Shanghai Chung San Hospital have independently isolated
from the Reishi mushroom a few species of polysaccharides which have
subsequently been shown in clinical studies to have anti-tumor
activities.
Reishi has also been shown to exert:
*Positive effects in treatment of insomnia
*Preventive effects against high altitude sickness
*Cholesterol -lowering effects
*Therapeutic effects in chronic hepatitis
Available in some grocery stores and health-food stores, in it's natural
form or in powder form, as well as capsules and tablets. All
observations show that Reishi has no side effects and can be consumed in
high dosages and in parallel with other medications. Its main properties
are the cleansing of blood, enhancement of the immune system and the
lessening of nervous tension. These properties are conducive to
normalizing and balancing the body and as a result preempt cure a
multitude of diseases from within.
Tips for Preparing Mushrooms:
Mushrooms are very porous, so if they are exposed to too much water they
will quickly absorb it and become soggy. Therefore, the best way to
clean mushrooms without sacrificing their texture and taste is to clean
them using minimal, if any, water. To do this, simply wipe them with a
slightly damp paper towel or kitchen cloth. You could also use a
mushroom brush, available at most kitchenware stores.
If the fresh mushrooms become dried out because of being stored for too
long, soak them in water for thirty minutes.
Our favorite way of eating is sautéed alone or with stir fry
vegetables and rice.
I simply clean, slice and sauté in butter flavored virgin olive oil.
For each two cups of sliced mushrooms use 1 Tablespoon of virgin olive
oil and ? to 1 teaspoon of butter (I do not use margarine for anything
because of it's poisonous fat and chemicals). Heat olive oil then add
butter, melt and mix well. Add mushrooms and saute' stirring until
cooked (about 3 - 5 minutes). Add a dash of Bragg's Liquid Aminos for
added flavor just before removing from heat. Serve with other vegetables
over rice or alone over rice.
Enjoy your healthy shroom!

Autumn leaves are beginning to turn in some areas of the
world but in the beauty of fall danger lies.
The cold and flu season is just around the corner.
As the summer humidity drops and more people will become
stuck indoors, germs are building up ready for attack . The
dryer winter air helps germs move more freely thereby
making it risky to be in a room full of people.
If you have your minerals and vitamins balanced then your
Immune system is prepared for the germs that stand ready
to invade. That balance makes it less likely those germs
can invade your body!
If you don't take mineral and vitamin supplements daily
it's a sure thing that your immune system is not prepared
for the invaders.
Rest easy, it's not tool late, hopefully? You have a few weeks
to prepare your system to make this a healthy season for you
and your family! Prepare and you will be awarded for keeping
germs at bay!
The cold and flu season starts 48 hours after Halloween
trick or treating. I watched that trend during my twenty years
in medical offices and we always prepared for the onslaught
of calls that we knew would start! Just as we prepared for
the patients illness, you too should prepare for the germ
warfare coming your way. That onslaught will strengthen with
Thanksgiving foodfest. Next wave comes with Christmas for
Hanukkah for others and the germfest grows into the New
Year's celebrations. The death of the immune system
becomes more severe with each holiday food merriment.
Prepare you and your family to be free from that trend.
Start by removing the stagnant summer junk food from your
body. That can be done very simply or with difficulty. Here is
a
detoxing juice that is not only pleasant to taste but does its
job.
Detox: a delightful juice drink.
1/2 cup chopped wheatgrass or fresh parsley
(wheatgrass is a sweeter taste.)
3 carrots
2 apples
2 stalks celery
1 beet with top
1/8 cup chopped cilantro
Remove apple seeds if not using Vita Mixer. Wash
ingredients
and cut into small pieces for juicer. If using a juicer bunch up
wheatgrass or parsley and cilantro push through the juicer with
the
aid of a carrot.
Detox is an example of a "green" juice. Green juices are always
great fasting juices because they help cleanse the body of
pollutants, detoxify the liver and creates a rejuvenating
effect.
Then add a complete 84 mineral (liquid, powder or capsule)
supplement along with a meganutrient (liquid, powder or
capsule) vitamins daily! Stay away from pill form of either!
I'm told, by people who work in the sewer plants, that all
across American they rake millions of pounds of undigested
vitamin and mineral pills from their plant screens every
month proving that the medical PDR is correct in reporting
that you only absorb 10% to 20% of your pill supplements.
Acid rain and global warming show that we hold immense power over life
on Earth, yet we wield it indiscriminately.
The damage we do is increasing daily. In the next 20 years, the
population will increase by 1.5 billion. These people will need food,
water and electricity, but already our soils are vanishing, fisheries
are being killed off, wells are drying up, and the burning of fossil
fuels is endangering the lives of millions. We are heading for
cataclysm.
