Greetings and thank you for being an optin subscriber!

A new week begins giving you a chance to make decisions that will change your life and others. Also this is the week that will kick off the colds and flu season... Wednesday will see many little bodies immune systems start to crash with the sugar overload along with an increase in ADHD and ADD all from a happy-go-lucky night of fun, trick-or-treating. The pediatricians will make a lot of money over the coming weeks as will the family doctors. Lots of unnecessary prescriptions will be written that will put their immune system in more danger... Along with the kiddies moms and dads will take advantage of those bags of goodies and end up ill just like the little ones... Teachers will go crazy on Wednesday with the out of control behaviors of so many children... Will that be your home scenario or have been smart enough to get that immune system built up so you can escape that malady as well as checking your kiddies treats for sugar substitutes that will send them out of orbit? Today's ezine has tips on what happens with those treats and how to best prevent it!

Enjoy your week!

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

Why You Don't Need Antibacterial Soap
By Tabitha Alterman

If you choose "antibacterial" products because you trust them to kill germs, think again. According to recent studies, antiseptic ingredients added to numerous products are not effective and may actually be harmful.

In 2005, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel concluded that there is "no added benefit" from using antimicrobial products over plain soap and water. There's also toxicity to consider. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health discovered that one of the most popular antimicrobials, the pesticide triclocarban (TCC), defies water treatment methods after we wash our hands of it. Once it's flushed down drains, about 75 percent of TCC makes it through treatments meant to break it down, and it ends up in our surface water and in municipal sludge. This sludge is regularly applied to U.S. crop fields as a fertilizer, meaning the chemical could potentially accumulate in our food, too.

According to Rolf Halden, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Johns Hopkins and lead author of the most recent study, TCC contaminates 60 percent of U.S. streams. In addition, he says it is known to cause cancer and reproductive problems in mammals, and blue-baby syndrome in human infants.

Introducing an antimicrobial into the environment in this way also has the unwanted effect of increasing pathogens׳ resistance to clinically important antibiotics. The antiseptic triclosan - another popular antimicrobial added to numerous products - is known to promote the growth of resistant bacteria, including E. coli. In fact, the American Medical Association (AMA) took an official stance in 2000 against adding antimicrobials to consumer products. The AMA has repeatedly urged the FDA to better regulate these chemicals, advising that they should be avoided "until the data emerge to show antimicrobials in consumer products are effective at preventing infection."

Currently, there is no mandatory monitoring of TCC, but approximately 1 million pounds of it are released annually in the United States. Since 2000, about 1,500 new antibacterial products have hit store shelves.

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

 

It's Halloween, in a couple of days anyway, and the little goblins are chomping down candy!

This could cause your child to have a severe case of diarrhea. Take a look in their candy bag -- some of your neighbors may have been giving out sugar-free candy for trick-or-treating. According to the journal Postgraduate Medicine, sugar-free candy often uses sorbitol as a sweetening agent. Sorbitol is sweet and supposedly safe, but it can also be an effective laxative. Rule out the candy before you treat the diarrhea. Not only this but other viral bugs begin to grow in numbers with all the immune systems deadened from too many sweet treats! By friday the pediatricians offices will begin to see a growing number of children for different viral health problems. Happens every year!

Limits Urged for Effexor Prescriptions
Oct 25, 2006

WASHINGTON (AP) - Doctors should limit the number of Effexor pills they prescribe patients to reduce the risk of overdose, the antidepressant's manufacturer and federal health officials said Wednesday.

There have been reports of deaths and serious injuries in patients who overdosed on Effexor, also called venlafaxine, predominantly when taken with alcohol and/or other drugs, Wyeth and the Food and Drug Administration said.

To limit the risk of overdose, doctors should prescribe the "smallest quantity of capsules consistent with good patient management," Wyeth wrote in a letter to doctors dated Oct. 17 and released Wednesday by the FDA.

Overdosing on any antidepressant can be fatal. But there may be a greater risk of deadly overdose associated with Effexor than with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Lexapro, Wyeth said. The risk may be less than that with older antidepressants called tricyclics, it added.

Wyeth, based in Madison, N.J., said it was unclear whether the increased risk of deadly overdose can be attributed to Effexor or to the characteristics of patients treated with the drug.

FOOD OF THE WEEK

Beat The Sugar Highs and Immune Drain With The Ultimate Sweet Plant!
 
With this week starting the sugar highs and immune system killing of mass proportion it only makes sense that we try to offset those thing as much as possible? This weeks food can help do that?
 
The holidays coming upon us over the next two months brings with them sugar highs that occur from all the treats that appear on desks, in classrooms and homes that create an atmosphere for the flu and colds season to take hold? If you are baking or cooking there is an alternative substitute that can help eliminate the dead immune system and sugar highs? By substituting Stevia a plant based and healthy sugar substitute. Stevia is a plant that can make a difference in your life. I mention it from time to time but usually don't tell you the reason it's healthier for you? Not available in your grocery store and available online or at your health food store.
 
While Splenda and Aspartame sugar substitutes now dominate the non-caloric sweetener market with the help of the medical world buying into the hype? Stevia is a remarkable herb that remains relatively unknown.
 
Anyone who suffers from diabetic blood sugar disorder or who needs to limit their caloric intake or is addicted to sugar must be told about the remarkable health and healing properties of a great substitute that I can't say to you that it is a "sugar substitute," or the government will come down on me. Stevia can be marketed as a food supplement only. 
 
History of Stevia
 
The Guarani Indians had known for centuries about the unique advantages of kaa he-he  -a native term which translates as "sweet herb" - long before the invaders from the Old World were lured by the treasures of the New.  These native people knew the leaves of the wild stevia shrub  - a perennial indigenous to the Amambay Mountain region - to have a sweetening power unlike anything else; they commonly used the leaves to enhance the taste of bittermate (a tea-like beverage) and medicinal potions, or simply chewed them for their sweet taste.  The widespread native use of stevia was chronicled by the Spaniards in historical documents preserved in the Paraguayan National Archives in Asuncion.  Historians noted that indigenous peoples had been sweetening herbal teas with stevia leaves "since ancient times."  By the 1800s, daily stevia consumption had become well entrenched throughout the region - not just in Paraguay - but also in neighboring Brazil and Argentina.
 
Like the discovery of America itself, however, credit for stevia's "discovery" to the rest of the world goes to an Italian.  In this case, the explorer was a botanist whose initial unfamiliarity with the region - because of his difficulty in locating the herb - caused him to believe that he had stumbled onto a "little-known" plant.
 
In 1903, however Bertoni discovered the live plant, a gift from the parish priest of Villa San Pedro.  The following year, as he recounted, "the appearance of the first flowers enabled me to make a complete study" that was published in December, 1905, after an interruption caused by a civil war.  His findings was enough to convince him that "the sweetening power of kaa he-e is so superior to sugar and there is no need to wait for the results of analyses and cultures to affirm its economic advantage...the simplest test proves it."
 
An ideal alternative to other sugar or sugar substitutes, but in the U.S. we cannot say it's a sweetener.  Yet this herb has proven to be safe and effective for hundreds of years without a single reported adverse reaction by anyone! No MS, or other neurological disorders as with our modern day chemical sugar substitutes or sugar derivative Splenda.
 
The sweetening power of Stevia is amazing as it is between 70 to 400 times sweeter than white sugar. Most amazing and remarkable about Stevia is that it is completely calorie-free, never initiates a rise in blood sugar, and does not provide an intestinal source of food for bacteria and yeasts.
 
The leaves of the Stevia shrub contain specific glycosides, which produce a sweet taste but have no caloric value. Stevia also contains protein, fiber, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, rutin (flavonoid), zinc, vitamins C and A.
 
Stevia vs sugar? No comparison in the health department! Sugar is processed from cane or beets and should be healthy but after processing is more chemical than real while Stevia maintains natural and healthy with processing!
 
Stevia is a small perennial shrub with green leaves that belongs to the aster or chrysanthemum family of plants. Over 200 species of Stevia have been found around the world. While the herb's native locale may make it appear somewhat exotic, it has proved to be quite adaptable and capable of being cultivated in climate zones as diverse as Florida and southern Canada.
 
Organic gardeners in particular should find stevia an ideal addition to their garden.  Though nontoxic, stevia plants have been found to have insect-repelling tendencies.  Their very sweetness, in fact, may be a kind of natural defense mechanism against aphids and other bugs that find it not to their taste.  Perhaps the sickening sweet plant is why crop-devouring grasshoppers have been reported to bypass stevia under cultivation.
 
Then, too, raising stevia yourself, whether in your back yard or on your balcony, is another positive way you can personally - and legally - protest the wrongheaded government policies that have for so long deprived the American people of its benefits -- a kind of contemporary Victory Garden.
 
Stevia enjoyed some popularity in the U.S. during the 1980s as a natural sweetener and was found in a variety of consumer products. However, in 1986, the FDA stopped the sale as a sweetener and in 1991 said it was not suitable as a food additive. Advocates for Stevia say that this happened because the herb is a natural, inexpensive and non-patentable sweetener, and poses a threat to pharmaceutical sweeteners. As of now, Stevia has received approval by the FDA to be sold only as a dietary supplement, not as a sweetening agent.  So use it as an additive. Isn't that what sugar or sugar substitutes are anyway? Cook, bake or sweeten your tea? It works for all?
 
Conversion rates for Stevia are :
 
1 tsp. granulated sugar = 1/8 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or slight dusting white stevia extract (powder)
 
1 tbsp. granulated sugar = 3/8 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/2 pinch white stevia extract (powder)
 
1/4 c. granulated sugar = 1 1/2 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1 pinch white stevia extract (powder)
 
1/2 c. granulated sugar = 1 tbsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/8 tsp. white stevia extract (powder)
 
1 c. granulated sugar = 2 tbsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/4 tsp. white stevia extract (powder)
 
Enjoy your sweet healthy plant food!

How to Avoid Halloween Hangover
by Jane Hersey

Your little super heroes can have fun without becoming monsters the next day

What day do teachers call "the worst day of the year"? You guessed it - the day after America's biggest candy holiday. But if you think we're talking about too much sugar as the cause of Halloween Hangover, please think again. Sugar certainly can make kids "hyper," but for the majority of children, its effects are not likely to last into the next day and beyond. And forget about the theory that your kids are being difficult simply because they're excited (excitement would also wear off sooner.) So, if it isn't sugar or the festivities that are to blame for your child's November 1st hangover, then what is the culprit?

Take a close look at the tiny print on those candy wrappers and look for numbers, especially if they also include the names of colors. Do you see things like Yellow #5, Red 40 or Blue No. 2? These are the names for the colorings added to candy and other foods. Synthetic food dyes are the most likely suspects when it comes to triggering behavior problems in children. For decades allergists have reported that food dyes can trigger reactions like hives and swelling in sensitive people. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Drugs has found that they can cause respiratory problems. Researchers in the United States, Canada, England and Australia have shown that these dyes can bring about many behavior problems, even when children eat only a small amount.

Here are some of the behaviors that have been attributed to eating food dyes: attention deficits, irritability, restlessness, sleep disturbance, aggression, and hyperactivity. What could possibly be so monstrous about those colorful little confections? It's not like food dyes are new - our grandparents ate artificially colored candies, too. Food dyes have been around for well over 100 years. They were first made from coal tar oil and are now synthesized from petroleum. (The same stuff that makes your car run can result in high-octane kids!) Check your Foodlist & Shopping Guide under "Desserts" for lots of candies that are acceptable on the Feingold Program. 
However, in past generations, artificial dyes were a "sometime thing" that children ate occasionally. Back then, most of our food came in a fairly natural form. Many candies were made with natural ingredients like chocolate and pure vanilla (not the fake "vanillin" widely used today). Children were given dyed lollipops only at the bank or the barbershop. They ate candy corn, jelly beans and candy canes once a year, and schools were not in the business of selling soft drinks and junk food.

A child growing up in the 1940s and '50s did not start his day with petroleum-based dyes in his toothpaste, medicine, vitamins, imitation juice and cereal. Lunch was not a prepackaged assortment of highly processed, chemically treated crackers, cheese, lunch meat and dessert. So, when our parents ate candy corn and other dyed candy, they were able to handle it better than our chemically saturated children can today
