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
============================
5,000 Products Set to Disappear
The EU Directive classifies vitamins and minerals in Europe as "medical
drugs" rather than dietary supplements, which means that they're subject
to government regulation in terms of dosage and availability.
It gets worse: There are many nutrients known to be vital to optimal
health that are not on the government's RDA nutrient list including
chromium picolinate, lysine, and selenium. Under the directive, these
types of supplements are banned from over-the-counter sale. Put simply,
it will be illegal to buy them without a prescription.
The supplements that will be available will be restricted to
multi-vitamins containing no more than 100 percent of the established
RDA amounts, which are usually useless, trivial quantities -- and
they'll be far more expensive than what we have now.
This directive, for all intents and purposes, makes it illegal for
people to keep themselves healthy by supplementing with essential
nutrients.
Plus, the directive only allows supplements to be made from a list of 15
minerals and 13 vitamins. That leaves out at least 69 minerals important
to the human metabolism and forbids the use of the most bio-available
forms of vitamin complexes. In essence, it means that all nutritional
supplements will be virtually the same. The specific combinations might
vary, but the types and amounts of nutrients will be identical, no
matter what product they're formulated into.

LENA'S NOTE: It's coming to the United States if we don't curb it
now! Senate bill S722 and Senate bill S1780 are precursors of the next
steps. Write your senators today and tell them to drop it, we want
freedom of choice to take or not to take supplements in the amounts we
choose to!!!! The U.S. has always dealt with the unscrupulous and will
continue to do so but we have the ability to make those choices and
without the choice we are robots to the government's whims! "The wheat

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Cilantro, an herb often used to flavor Mexican
recipes, may prevent food poisoning such as salmonella.
Cilantro contains a compound known as dodecenal that has been proven
effective in averting food poisoning. Researchers believe the herb
destroys the cell membrane of the bacteria. There is no evidence,
however, that Cilantro cures the symptoms of food poisoning once it has
been contracted. Cilantro is also a powerful detoxing food!

TODAY'S HEALTH TIP

High Folate Intake Lowers Women's Blood Pressure
USA: October 13, 2004
NEW YORK - Upping the daily intake of folate has been widely promoted in
recent years to reduce women's risk of having a baby with spina bifida,
but it also seems to have another benefit.
Women consuming 800 micrograms per day or more of folate are
significantly less likely to develop high blood pressure than women
consuming lesser amounts, according to a report presented Monday at the
American Heart Association's annual conference on high blood pressure
research in Chicago.
Dr. John P. Forman of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital reported the
data from the Nurses' Health Study I, which included 62,260 women
between 43 and 70 years old, and the Nurses' Health Study II, comprising
93,043 women between 26 and 46.
None of the women had high blood pressure when they were enrolled. They
completed detailed questionnaires about their diet, food preparation and
health habits, including folate intake, every 2 years for an average of
8 years. The women also self-reported their blood pressures.
"These were pretty detailed questionnaires," Forman told Reuters Health.
"We calculated how much folate the women got from their diet and
supplements. Our calculations were pretty accurate."
The investigators divided the women into five categories according to
folate intake, the average being approximately 250 micrograms daily.
Younger women - those in the Nurses' Health Study II - who consumed 800
micrograms or more per day had a 29 percent lower risk of high blood
pressure than those who consumed less than 200 micrograms daily. Older
women in the highest category had a 13 percent lower risk of high blood
pressure than those in the lowest category.
"It is very hard to get (800 micrograms folate daily) from diet alone,"
Forman noted. "Essentially all the women in the highest category took
supplements."

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Healthy Holiday Table Fare Year Round!
The food that so many people eat only on Thanksgiving, and that's a
shame, since they're among one of the most nutritious of vegetables.
If you don't eat sweet potatoes very often, or only at holiday time when
they're smothered in melted marshmallow goop and baked until they're
unrecognizable, you're missing out on one of nature's truly perfect
foods. Low in calories, high in fiber, great for diabetics and people
who are carbohydrate sensitive, packed with minerals - rich in Calcium,
Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese
and Selenium while rich with vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, DFE, E, Thiamin,
Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid and tastes great!
Their bright color is key to their high beta-carotene content, and
containing the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. A sweet potato really
isn't a potato; it is part of the sprawling vine called morning glory.
The sausage-shaped tubers are a bit potato-like, but taper to pointed
ends unlike potatoes. Skin is smooth and can be white, red, golden or
purple/black. Having sweet purple, white, yellow or deep orange flesh.
In 1932, when the sweet potato was considered a poor man's food,
Americans consumed 30 pounds each per year. Now, it's closer to 4
pounds, though the tuber has become more appealing and growing because
it's a favorite of Oprah Winfrey and television chef Emeril Lagasse. It
is also a hormone smoothing veggie for women in menopause,
post-menopause or perimenopausal years. Rich in beta-carotene!!!
A study conducted by the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland
gave 21 HIV-positive people 180 mg (300,000 IU) of beta-carotene every
day for four weeks, resulting in several indicators of their "helper" T
cell activity increasing significantly over the people who were given a
look-alike-but-inactive placebo, whose indicators dropped. "Helper" T
cells are the primary target of the HIV virus, and the body's ability to
fight infections diminishes as their levels drop. A study conducted by
John Hopkins University researchers linked high levels of beta-carotene
with a lower incidence of lung cancer, which kills approximately 145,000
Americans every year. A great reason to eat sweet potato.
At least 70 research studies have found an increased risk of cancer in
people who don't eat enough produce rich in carotenoids. Since the sweet
potato is very rich in beta carotene how better to get a health benefit?
There are two basic types of sweet potatoes:
Moist: (orange fleshed) tends to be plumper and its
skin a little redder. The sweeter orange-fleshed sweet potato varieties
dominate the U.S. market. often called "yams," but this is a misnomer:
The true yam aka "botanical family Dioscoreaceae" is a large - as much
as 100 pounds - root vegetable grown in Africa and Asia and rarely seen
in the western world. However, over time common usage has made the term
"yams" acceptable when referring to sweet potatoes.
Dry: (yellow or purple-fleshed). Some people prefer
the starchier yellow-fleshed types, a little narrower with a tan skin,
when they aren't side by side, it's pretty difficult to judge the
difference. In most instances, you can assume you're getting
orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. If you are actively seeking the
yellow-fleshed, you should ask the produce manager. The Okinawan sweet
potato, grown year round in Hawaii has light skin and lavender flesh and
is of Chinese and Japanese origin. The potato is not well known or easy
to get on the mainland, except in specialty or ethnic markets on the
West Coast. Something I experienced this spring when I was in Hawaii and
loved them?
A bit of history;
In 1514, Peter Martyr named nine varieties that grew in Honduras. It was
taken to Spain about 1500 and several kinds were cultivated there by the
middle of the 16th century, including red, purple, and pale or "white"
varieties.
Cultivation of sweet potatoes was tried unsuccessfully in Belgium in
1576. John Gerarde of London, claimed that in 1597 he grew the plant in
England (probably without much success) and that it was known in India,
Barbary, and other hot regions.
Early Spanish explorers are believed to have taken the sweet potato to
the Philippines and East Indies, from which it was soon carried to
India, China, and Malaya by Portuguese voyagers. The original
introductions from America into the Pacific and Far East were so
unobtrusive that the origin of the plant was long overlooked, many
believing it native to southern and southeastern Asia.
Sweet potatoes are sold throughout the year, but are most abundant in
their harvest season of fall and early winter, found on sale in the U.S.
around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Sweet potatoes are also sold canned or frozen. The canned potatoes are
usually packed in heavy syrup--"candied"--although some processors also
pack them in water. Canned sweet potatoes are significantly lower in
beta-carotene, vitamin C, and B vitamins than fresh ones.
Selecting sweet potatoes;
Choose heavy, similar-sized potatoes if you plan to cook them whole, so
that the cooking time will be uniform. Choose potatoes that are smooth,
hard, and free of bruises or decay, even if cut away, a decayed,
shriveled brown/black spot may have already imparted an unpleasant
flavor to the entire potato.
My family's favorite ways of eating sweet potatoes are;
Sliced about 1/8" thick and round like silver dollars, Sautéed in butter
until tender, with just a hint of brown sugar.
Second favorite is baked either whole or sliced;
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel and cut into thick round slices or quarter potato.
In a baggie put 1/2 teaspoon Stevia or 1 teaspoon brown sugar, pinch of
ground allspice, pinch of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4
teaspoon Turmeric, shake until well mixed. Spray slices with virgin
olive oil then put into bag with spices and shake until covered with
mixture. Layer one layer on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with
olive oil. Put into oven and bake about 20 minutes then turn potatoes
over and bake another 20 to 25 minutes until done and slightly browned.
There are as many ways of eating sweet potatoes as there are people
so use your imagination and eat for health?
Enjoy your newfound mineral and vitamin rich food!

FDA Approves Use of Chip in Patients
Oct 13, 2004
By DIEDTRA HENDERSON
WASHINGTON (AP) - Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny
computer chip approved Wednesday for implantation in a patient's
arm can speed vital information about a patient's medical
history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it could
open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied
Digital Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the
VeriChip, an implantable computer chip about the size of a grain
of rice, for medical purposes.
The news pleased investors. On Wednesday, Applied Digital shares
were up $1.45, or 68.4 percent, at $3.57 on the Nasdaq Stock
Market - near the middle of their 52-week range of $1.94 to $5.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the
skin in a procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves
no stitches. Silently and invisibly, the dormant chip stores a
code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner
passes over it.
Think UPC code. The identifier, emblazoned on a food item,
brings up its name and price on the cashier's screen. At the
doctor's office the codes stamped onto chips, once scanned,
would reveal such information as a patient's allergies and prior
treatments, speeding care.
The microchips have already been implanted in 1 million pets.
But the chip's possible dual use for tracking people's movements
- as well as speeding delivery of their medical information to
emergency rooms - has raised alarm.
"If privacy protections aren't built in at the outset, there
could be harmful consequences for patients," said Emily Stewart,
a policy analyst at the Health Privacy Project.

LENA'S NOTE: This sounds good on the initial look but I
don't believe I will partake in the utilization of it at all...
Yes, the president authorizes it and believes it will save
health care dollars, so he said in his debate answers on
Wednesday night... Make your choice. I like control over my body
and this idea loses a lot of that control and puts me at risk of
anyone who has the ability to scan with or without my
permission... An insurance company can have access to your
medical history with which to refuse treatment and you won't
even realize it, SAVE THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS and if you think
they will pass it on to you I have a bridge here in the desert
cheap!!! Drug companies will be able to utilize your info for
marketing SAVE THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS so they can
finance more political campaigns to benefit their pocket books
and keep U.S. drug costs high... All anyone will need is a
scanner that can read your personal chip and you can bet those
scanners will be on the market in an instant for use by the
unscrupulous insurance and drug companies and who knows who
else!!! So I say no thanks! What do you think? Give me some
feed back on this new chip

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Harvard University scientists have asked the
university's ethical review board for permission to produce cloned human
embryos for disease research, potentially becoming the first researchers
in the nation to wade into a divisive area of study that has become a
presidential campaign issue.
"We want to find new ways to study and hopefully cure diseases," said
Harvard biologist Douglas Melton, a senior researcher who, along with a
colleague, has applied for permission to do the work.
Embryonic stem cells are master cells that can form into any tissue of
the body. Many scientists believe harnessing them might one day allow
tissue regeneration to treat numerous diseases.
Harvesting stem cells from embryos kills the embryo, and some argue that
it is tantamount to taking a life. President Bush has signed an
executive order limiting federal help to all but existing stem cell
lines.
Democratic challenger John Kerry supports widespread stem cell research.
The research group asking for a green light to advance its work is one
of two teams affiliated with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, a facility
set up earlier this year to fund such research.
The university is considering all of the ethical and other issues of
embryonic stem cell cloning, said Provost Dr. Steven E. Hyman, although
he did not know when the university would reach a decision. "We are
being extremely careful about this," he told The Boston Globe for a
story in Wednesday's editions.
None of the proposed experiments involves attempts to produce a cloned
person.
So far, only a South Korean team has successfully performed nuclear
transfer with human cells. British scientists also have been granted
permission to conduct experiments.
LENA'S NOTE: I am fully aware that this is a hot topic and so many
are for and equally as many against, but I feel if handled carefully can
be a true step to healing spinal injuries as well as full blown genetic
diseases.
