Greetings and thank you for being an optin subscriber!

After the nice, much needed, storm and rain of yesterday and this mornings azure blue sky with floating white cotton candy clouds that are simply breathtaking and relaxing to the point I could sit here and look out my window for hours or go outside and sit in the back yard swing for hours and watch them float along. Not possible at the moment so bite the bullet and work... But those beautiful white fluffy clouds are predicted to turn into more storm clouds later today but I won't complain, if it happens, as we really could use as much rain as we can get since we are in the 9th year of drought conditions. Life is full of changes just as our weather is so have you switched to a healthy lifestyle or are you still on borrowed time until something comes along to move you into that shift to health? I hope it isn't the later. Have a great weekend, take your day of rest and relax.

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

According to a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, the number of reports of serious adverse events related to drug treatment has more than doubled in the past decade, rising from just under 35,000 in 1998 to almost 90,000 in 2005 (Moore 2007).

Similarly, the number of deaths recorded as directly attributable to drug treatment almost tripled in the same period.

The data were gathered from the Food and Drug Administration's adverse event reporting system, which relies solely on the voluntary submission of reports by US physicians or drug manufacturers. It is therefore highly probable that these figures, alarming though they are, represent a significant under-estimate of the extent of the problem. For example, another study, published last month in the journal Drug Safety, found that physicians very often downplay, dismiss or ignore their patients' reports of drug side effects (Golomb 2007).

If physicians do not recognize a problem as being drug-related, they are very unlikely to report it to the FDA. Neither are they likely to be sufficiently watchful for signs of potentially serious or life-threatening drug-induced adverse events.

Bottled Water: Now they can put fluoride in it
Published on Saturday, September 29, 2007

Watch out for that 'healthy' bottled water you're drinking - it might contain fluoride. America, the world's largest market, is now allowing 'natural' bottled water to be fluoridated.

The decision has been made by the USA's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - and its decision surprisingly goes against the advice of the American Dental Association (ADA).

The ADA has told mothers that they should not mix fluoridated water into formula or foods for a child younger than one year - and so bottled water has been an obvious alternative to tap water, most of which is fluoridated.

The ADA is concerned that excessive fluoride can cause enamel fluorosis in an infant's developing teeth. Fluorosis is a condition that causes tooth enamel to discolour and pit. It's estimated that up to 32 per cent of all American children have dental fluorosis.

Fluoride in water has been linked to arthritis, allergies, kidney and thyroid dysfunction, endocrine disruption, bone damage and cancer.

And judging by the kids of America, it doesn't do much to promote healthy teeth, either.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Nature's Food Addition Must!

Thought I would give you another strange food this week. One that is an excellent and important health building addition to your daily nutrient supplement necessary in this day of rampant diseases and illnesses. Not recognized as a tangible food that you put on your plate but none the less a very important and touted by some as Nature's Perfect Food! Also due to the nature in which it is grown figured you wouldn't want to see it growing so no graph will appear here today!

Chlorella, a freshwater algae that contains such a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that it's considered to be a nearly perfect whole food. Chlorella is also the richest source of chlorophyll on earth the chemical that gives plants their green color and is an essential component in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into chemical energy. It reportedly contains a very high amount of chlorophyll.

Animal studies have revealed that chlorella may stimulate the production of immune system factors like macrophages, leukocytes, and interferon. But in recent years, chlorella research has moved beyond animal trials with studies that have examined the therapeutic effects of chlorella on fibromyalgia. In two separate clinical trials conducted in Japan, researchers found that daily therapy with 10 grams of chlorella in tablet form and 100 milliliters of chlorella liquid extract brought improvements in pain, sleep, and anxiety - all common measures of fibromyalgia severity. (This may be one of the reasons why Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals, which is fortified with chlorella, is working along with balanced minerals cutting chronic pain in so many.) Nutrients contained in Chlorella include vegetable proteins, fiber, vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll and its derivatives stimulate the formation of red blood cells, affect nutrition, and influence metabolism and respiration, to name just a few.

From heart disease to cancer, from failing vision to fatigue, an incredible yet affordable product in changing health.

One Doctor Allan Spreen, and M.D., says that chlorella is an "inexpensive and excellent" nutrient and easily digested.

According to Ralph Moss, Ph.D. renowned publisher of "The Cancer Chronicles," and cancer researcher chlorella has been shown to significantly prolong the lives of mice implanted with cancer cells. In one study, the benefits of chlorella were particularly strong when chlorella was given before the cancer was introduced, indicating a potential course of cancer prevention.

Dr. Moss also reports that more than 40 years ago researchers found chlorella to be effective in reversing the fatigue associated with chemotherapy. Chlorella has been shown to quickly restore white blood cells that are killed by chemotherapy, without affecting the potency of the chemo.

Chlorella is not known to cause side effects, but its use may be associated with mild temporary adverse reactions triggered by the very detoxification of pesticides and heavy metals stored in the body when introduced into the body, an may be experienced as a worsening for a few days until detoxification is completed. A good thing!

My study on chlorella came to be because I couldn't understand what constituted my father's prostate cancer swelling to reduce so drastically fast making it easier for him to urinate in just a few days after starting his natural protocol. I found a few things that might do it but when I studied the components in the Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals I hit on what I consider the winning reason. Chlorella! Contained within the minerals as the most likely reason for the fast and drastic results!

Some studies suggest that Chlorella may be useful for lowering Blood Pressure in people afflicted with Hypertension. It is also said by some researchers that Chlorella (8 grams per day) can detoxify persons affected with Cadmium poisoning. Chlorella prolongs survival times in persons afflicted with various forms of Cancer - by boosting the Immune Response, i.e. not by directly killing Cancer cells. Chlorella prolongs survival times in persons afflicted with Breast Cancer and Leukemia - by boosting the Immune Response, i.e. not by directly killing Cancer cells. Recently - 1998), Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris species) - has also been shown to contain a Glycoprotein that inhibits the metastasis of some forms of Cancer. Chlorella facilitates the production of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor. Chlorella facilitates the production of Interferon Gamma indicated in treatment of infections and tumors. Chlorella facilitates the production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 alpha form). IL1 is an important risk factor prevention in heart disease. Also in a number of laboratory and animal research findings suggest that the algae may have some anticancer properties. One investigation concluded that a protein extract from one type of chlorella prevented the spread of cancer cells in mice. Another study in mice suggested that the extract reduced the side effects of chemotherapy treatment without affecting the potency of anticancer medications.

Chlorella was discovered in the late 19th century. Due to its high protein concentration and rapid growth rate, chlorella was investigated after World War II as a possible commercial food source that never really took off. In the 1950s, researchers first reported that chlorella prevented the development of liver disease in mice. A decade later, some investigators claimed that the algae decreased the side effects of chemotherapy and slowed the growth of some cancer cells. Most of the research has been conducted in Japan, where chlorella is a top-selling dietary supplement. Chlorella farms - closed systems that provide humans with food, water, and oxygen - have been established in the U.S., Japan, The Netherlands, Germany, and Israel.

Throughout its history on this planet, chlorella has survived because its tough outer shell protected its genetic integrity, and it is one of the most efficient foods on earth in using and concentrating sunshine, as shown by its high chlorophyll content and rapid reproduction. Chlorella is a natural, pure, whole food with all the materials to support life. Cracked cell wall Chlorella provides a tremendous source of concentrated nutrition.

I get chlorella in my chosen liquid mineral complex, which I take twice daily and may very well be one of the reasons my fibromyalgia has been controlled since starting that supplementation along with my herbal formulas in 1995 making for a strong pain treatment.

Begin your health builder program today and include this great food ? Chlorella - in it. If you need help in where to start with your health building protocol contact me and along with the doctor we will figure it out with you.

Arctic Melt Threatens Indigenous People
October 4, 2007
by Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent

LONDON - A "grab for the Arctic" will add strains to indigenous hunters' cultures as a record melt opens the icy region to shipping or oil and gas exploration, an Inuit activist said on Tuesday.

Sheila Watt-Cloutier, who is among those tipped to win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Oct. 12, said global warming was happening twice as fast in the Arctic as elsewhere on the planet with mainly negative consequences for indigenous peoples.
"There is a real sudden grab for everything up here in the Arctic," she told the Reuters Environment Summit in a telephone interview from Iqualuit, northern Canada.

"It's the speed of change that worries me more than anything else," she said, adding that hunters had scant time to adapt.

The Arctic summer ice shrank to its smallest on record last month, eclipsing the previous 2005 record by more than 20 percent, according to US satellite data dating back 30 years.

Watt-Cloutier said an opening of the fabled Northwest Passage for several weeks this summer through a maze of normally icebound Canadian islands might herald a new international shipping route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

That could bring new wrenching change for people in a remote, sparsely populated region where Watt-Cloutier, 53, said she only ever travelled by dog sled up to the age of 10.

"What direction are we taking as an Inuit society? How is it we are going to deal with these monumental changes?" she said.

Oil and gas were likely to be the main draw, bringing risks of spills, if the thaw continues as forecast by UN climate scientists. Some US official estimates are that a quarter of the world's undiscovered reserves may be in the Arctic.

GOLD, DIAMONDS

"In many parts of Canada, there is uranium being talked about, iron ore, diamonds, gold ... these all have with them very negative long-term impacts" for traditional Inuit society, she said.

Some hunters were shifting to adapt to change. Cod were swimming north in huge numbers and hunters used to catching seals "are losing one way of life in terms of the seals but they are gaining in terms of fisheries".

Changes around Iqualuit this summer included a type of black fly appearing further north than normal even though the summer overall had been cool and wet.

And Canada might in future have to defend the Arctic because of competing interests with other states over shipping rights or oil and gas. Russia planted a flag on the seabed beneath the North Pole in August in a symbolic claim.

"I would hate to see the Arctic become an extension of an army camp, (with) Canada trying to assert itself," she said.

Watt-Cloutier is a former head of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference which says it represents 150,000 people in Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Russia.

She has tried to put pressure on the United States and other major emitters of greenhouse gases to cut emissions from burning fossil fuels, saying climate change is a form of human rights abuse.
