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

Aloe vera's claim to fame may be providing relief from burns, but that's certainly not all it's good for.

Researchers at Texas A&M University in College Station found that the sugar that makes up aloe vera can speed the healing time of wounds by reducing inflammation, preventing the breakdown of growth factors that promote healing, and stimulating the cells that destroy dead or dying tissue. It also aids new blood vessel formation. Because wound healing can be a problem in the elderly, aloe vera can help. Use fresh gel from a plant on superficial wounds once a day.

Ability to regulate blood sugar and lower heart disease risk for those with adult-onset diabetes.

Trace mineral may even help prevent developing diabetes in the first place.

Now another study has revealed even more benefits of chromium supplementation for those with Type 2 diabetes.

After six months, those who supplemented with chromium showed not only more sensitivity to insulin and long-term blood sugar control, but they also gained less weight and body fat than those given the placebo.

Intestinal Fortitude To A Healthy Immune System!

We pile into this body part things without even thinking how it will affect our health and expect it to continue functioning for us. The body part is the beginning of health or illness, depending on what we put into it!

The digestive system the path to good health or bad?

We don't digest food for many known reasons. Nearly 100% of the enzymes and nutrients naturally present in food have been lost. One of today’s worst problems is the ingesting of too many sugary foods and drinks, sugar substitutes, fats and foods deplete in nutrients.

Diets do not contain the raw foods as they once did, and modern food processing techniques as well as cooking that destroys enzymes. Additives to our foods create a health risk as well as stomach and/or intestinal problems. Even raw foods don't contain as many healthy enzymes as they once did due to nutrient depleted soil, environmental and farming pollution and commercial preservation techniques. The body then must work hard to overcome those problems and tries to compensate by producing more digestive enzymes to make up for the lack of plant enzymes, hence stomach and intestinal problems. The body's intestinal organs become enlarged as they struggle to find the needed enzymes. Polluted intestines become blocked from absorbing what few nutrients that is there! In the centuries past these problems did not exist as they do today. Sadly prescribed drugs are given and creating even more severe malnourishment and illnesses... The following could be creating your stomach and/or intestinal problems;

Inability for Intestines To Filter and Digest:

When the intestines have mucoid plaque substance, a serious interference with the digestive process happens. Even if a thin layer of the mucoid substance is present, one could have sluggish peristaltic (movement) action, which causes constipation. Every minute hard fecal matter lives in the intestines toxins are building up toward illness and/or a disease!

Toxic Blood:

Toxins are constantly seeping into the bloodstream and tissue via foods, lotions, shampoos, water and air. This eventually causes serious health problems. A dirty, unhealthy intestinal tract is the perfect environment for worms and parasites. The incidence of ill-health, diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes, and the number of individuals suffering from allergies, have reached an all time high.

Malnutrition:

A global problem simply because the grounds our foods are grown in have eroded and lost the nutrients and added chemicals that cause the body to lose what few nutrients are there and then you add the processed prepackaged foods, fast foods and sugary foods we have malnourished billions of people... Most are totally unaware they are suffering from a degree of malnutrition. Food is less able to be absorbed through these mucoid layers and what few nutrients are in the food is lost. A good intestinal cleansing program increases food absorption and improves peristaltic action by removing old mucoid plaque accumulation.

Healing Program That I Have Found to Be Effective:

Eat lots of raw fruits, vegetables and nuts, making sure to chew well… Add supplements daily – Minerals and Vitamins... Get at least 20 minutes a day of direct sunshine… You will need to do cleansing enemas using Warm Distilled water with 2 or 3 drops of liquid detergent added, Joy seems to work well, this may require as many as 10 enemas until fecal matter no longer appears when expelled! End them with a Coffee Enema to promote liver and kidney cleansing as well... Taking Probiotics daily thereafter to keep the natural and necessary flora cleaning the intestinal tract while building the immune system.

Promote your health smart!

The Cancer Project Offers Healthy Tips for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

WASHINGTON- In the battle against prostate cancer, men need all the ammunition they can get-and five healthy foods can help them reduce their risk. An estimated 234,460 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year, many of which may be preventable with diet alone. A healthy vegetarian diet may reduce men's risk of this disease.

"Broccoli, beans, and other low-fat vegetables, fruits, and legumes are great for prostate cancer prevention, while dairy products appear to increase risk," says Cancer Project nutritionist Jennifer Reilly, R.D. "Scientific studies are also finding that a meatless diet, combined with other lifestyle changes, can help keep early-stage prostate cancer from worsening."

Here are five foods that can help prevent prostate cancer:

1. Beans. Black, pinto, small red, and kidney beans are high in fiber, which helps the body rid itself of excess testosterone, and are among the 20 most antioxidant-rich foods. Beans are also rich in inositol pentakisphosphate, a known cancer-fighter. Add beans to soups, salads, or pasta sauce.

2. Tomatoes. Tomatoes and other lycopene-rich foods, such as watermelon and pink grapefruit, are associated with a reduced risk of prostate and other cancers. Studies from the Harvard School of Public Health have shown that men who frequently consume lycopene-rich foods cut their prostate cancer risk by one-third.

3. Sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes, carrots, and cantaloupe are rich in beta-carotene, which gives them their orange color and helps the immune system keep cancer at bay. Try mashed sweet potatoes or baked sweet potato wedges for a satisfying side dish.

4. Broccoli. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetable, including kale and cauliflower, are rich in sulphoraphane, a cancer-fighting phytochemical that helps rid the body of excess testosterone and reduces the risk of prostate and other cancers. Serve steamed broccoli with roasted garlic and lemon juice for a powerful cancer-fighting dish.

5. Soy milk. Soy, nut, and rice milks are a healthy alternative to cow?s milk, which is known to increase the risk of prostate cancer. According to two major Harvard studies, men who avoided dairy products cut their prostate cancer risk by as much as 25 percent to 40 percent. Soy foods are associated with a lower risk of cancer. Try adding soy or rice milk to your morning cereal or oatmeal.

Ozone Hole Matches Record Size
Oct 3, 2006

GENEVA (AP) - The "ozone hole" over Antarctica this year has matched the record size of 11.4 million square miles, the U.N. weather agency said Friday.

The area of the so-called hole - a thinning in the ozone layer during the South Pole winter - is the same as in the record year of 2000, according to measurements by NASA, said Geir Braathen, ozone specialist at the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization.

But Braathen said of greater concern is that the amount of ozone gas particles remaining in the hole is even lower than in 2000, a measurement called "the mass deficit." According to the European Space Agency, the loss has been 39.8 megatons, he said.

"In a way this mass deficit is a better measure of how much ozone is depleted ... because it counts how many tons of ozone are lacking," Braathen told The Associated Press.

The thinner layer this year "will lead to more ultraviolet radiation on the ground," Braathen said.

Too much ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancer and destroy tiny plants at the beginning of the food chain.

Thinning in the ozone layer - largely due to the chemical compounds chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, leaked from refrigerators, air conditioners and other devices - exposes Earth to harmful solar rays. Under a 1997 international treaty, most countries have agreed to reduce use of the ozone depleting chemicals, and scientists are predicting the ozone layer will eventually recover.

The hole has been forming in the extremely low temperatures that mark the end of Antarctic winter every year since the mid-1980s. Generally, the hole is biggest around late September.

This year's Antarctic winter has been very cold, the weather agency said earlier this month, which has led to greater ozone depletion. Although there has been a decrease in ozone-depleting substances over the last few years, the atmosphere is still saturated with them, it said.

According to the agency, it will take until 2065 for the ozone layer to recover and the hole over the Antarctic to close. That estimate is 15 years longer than previous predictions by the agency.
