 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)

EDITORS' RANTING
+++++++++++++++++++++

Greetings and thank you for being a faithful subscriber!

I received a letter from my chemist friend, Shane, with a request of;
"Forward to 3 people" but I thought 6,000+ people would be more appropriate to get the word out about how the drug industry, with the help of news media, are continuing with their push to put the US supplements in the same category of "prescription only" as they successfully did in the UK. If the FDA takes over you will find very few supplements that are effective since the FDA board consists of all pharmaceutical industry personnel (I gave you names of them months ago)... You can read Shane's letter in the "Health Today" column.

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

GM Foods Safe Or Not?

Scientist and initial proponent of GM foods Arpad Pusztai states: "Young rats fed a GM genetically engineered potato developed extensive health problems. Some had smaller, less developed brains, livers, and testicles, as well as partial atrophy of the liver. Some suffered damaged immune systems and organ damage. And there was excessive cell growth in the stomach and intestines."

The potato was engineered to produce its own insecticide, but the insecticide itself was not the cause of these problems. In fact, other rats that had eaten natural potatoes that were spiked with the insecticide fared much better. Thus, since the insecticide was not the cause of the poor health of the GM-fed rats, it was almost certainly the process of genetically modifying the potatoes that was the culprit.

Arpad realized that if his potatoes had been subjected to the same superficial industry studies he had reviewed, the potatoes would have been approved. The organ damage, cell growth, immune functions, etc., would have been undetected. More worrisome was the fact that the soy, corn, and tomatoes that were approved were not tested for these potential problems. And they were created with the same process that Arpad used to engineer his potatoes.

With permission from his director, Arpad accepted an invitation to be interviewed on television and express his concerns about GM food. For two days he was a hero at his institute. Then, on a Tuesday afternoon, two phone calls from the prime minister?s office were allegedly forwarded through the institute?s receptionist to the director. On Wednesday morning, Phillip James fired Arpad after 35 years and silenced him with threats of a lawsuit. The 20-member research team was dismantled and the UK government abandoned its plans for long-term safety study requirements for GM foods. The Rowett Institute then issued several statements trashing Arpad and his research in an apparent attempt to protect the biotech industry.

Arpad and his wife have made presentations on GM foods around the world. In 2001, they appeared before New Zealand?s Royal Commission of Inquiry on Genetic Modification, where the sentiments and experience of several other presenters echoed their own. Parliament member Sue Kedgley testified: "Personally I have been contacted by telephone and e-mail by a number of scientists who have serious concerns about aspects of the research that is taking place? and the increasingly close ties that are developing between science and commerce, but who are convinced that if they express these fears publicly, even at such a Commission? or even if they asked the awkward and difficult questions, they will be eased out of their institution."

For more information about Arpad Pusztai, see Seeds of Deception. Footage from the New Zealand Royal Commission is found on the forthcoming video, Healthy Eating Means No Genetically Engineered Foods, available at www.seedsofdeception.com .
 

LENA'S NOTE: If you want a small brain ignore whether your food is Genetically altered or not!

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

Aloe The Wound Healing Plant

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.

Healing Heartburn Holistically
By Dr. Rita Louise

Everyone at some point in time has experienced some form of heartburn.  Often, what we notice is a bitter, sour or acid taste in our mouths.  At times, we may feel as if partially digested foods or liquids are moving from our stomach back towards our mouth.  Sometimes we may also experience chest pain that increases when we lay down.  Each of these is an indication of heartburn. 

Before we move on, however it is important to note that heartburn is only an indicator of a potentially larger digestive disorder called acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).  Acid reflux is neither a serious disorder nor life threatening.  This is especially true for those who only experience it occasionally.  There are nonetheless millions of Americans that encounter the discomfort associated with acid reflux monthly, weekly and for some daily.  

But what causes acid reflux?  Well, when we eat, food moves from the mouth through the esophagus and into the stomach for further digestion.  At the end of the esophagus there is a circular band of muscles that relax and allow food and liquids to pass into the stomach.  It then tightens and prevents foods and stomach juices from traveling back up into the esophagus.  If, however, food or digestive juices escape the stomach and travel back up the esophagus, irritating the esophageal lining, this is when many people experience heartburn. 

For some, acid reflux is due to a mechanical disorder where the
sphincter muscle at the end of the esophagus becomes weak or doesn't close correctly.  This can cause them to experience acid reflux when lying down as well as when standing up.  In addition to mechanical issues that can cause the sphincter muscle to relax, alcohol, smoking, prescription medications and certain foods such as chocolate, onions, spicy foods and mints can also lessen the gripping power of this muscle. 

Other reasons people experience acid reflux includes eating large meals.  A large meal increases the pressure on the stomach.  This pressure can cause stomach contents to literally be pushed out of the stomach and back into the esophagus.  In addition, lying down right after a large meal increases your chances of experiencing acid reflux because digestive juices can more easily move in the wrong direction.  Pregnancy and obesity can also increase abdominal pressure and increase your risk of experiencing acid reflux as well.  Other digestive disorders such as a peptic ulcer or insufficient digestive enzymes in the stomach can also cause stomach acid to build up and back up into your esophagus.

In addition to heartburn, individuals with acid reflux can experience difficulty swallowing, a persistent sore throat or feeling a lump in the throat, coughing or wheezing.  In more severe cases, the individual may regurgitate blood or notice that their stool is black, which can indicate that it contains partially digested blood.  

Recommendations for Wellness

Eat a number of smaller, more frequent meals instead of one or two large meals daily.

Avoid lying down right after eating.  Give your body a couple of hours to digest the food you've just eaten.

If you experience acid reflux at night, elevate your head or the head of your bed 4-6 inches.

If you are overweight, begin a diet and exercise program to help you shed a few pounds.

Take a good look at what you are eating.  If you are consuming chocolate, alcohol, fried or fatty foods, foods flavored with peppermint or spearmints or acidic beverages such as certain juices, coffee, tea and carbonated beverages, they may be contributing to your acid reflux and should be avoided.

If you are taking prescription medications or suffer from a peptic ulcer, discuss your concerns with to your doctor to help you rule them out as the true cause of your acid reflux.

Reduce your stress level.  Sing, dance, meditate, practice deep breathing or do yoga to help your body relax.  This will help to reduce the pressure on your stomach.

Carminatives such as chamomile, fennel, ginger, peppermint and sage can work to sooth stomach muscles, increase the secretions of digestive juices as well as promote bile flow.

Similarly, digestive bitters improve digestion through enhanced secretion of digestive juices 

Soothing herbs such as aloe vera, marshmallow and slippery elm have traditionally been use to combat the irritation often associated with heartburn. 

If you feel as if the foods you are consuming are not being digested properly, try taking digestive enzymes before each meal to help break down foods in the stomach and improve digestion.  Food enzymes come in many forms.  There are broad spectrum food enzymes that can help to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  There are also specialized enzymes that help digest specific types of foods such as fats, proteins and milk.

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


That Green Leaf Of Health!

When making my lunch of wilted greens. I dropped my leaves into the skillet of hot Olive Oil, Rice Vinegar, chopped celery and sweet chopped onion my mind went back to Popeye and Olive Oil, the cartoon characters that were so popular in my children's childhood. And remembered the muscles Popeye sported and wondered if that could possibly be true? Would these great green leaves build muscles.  Hence this weeks great green food, Spinach!
 
A few years ago my then six year-old granddaughter said, "No way am I eating spinach, it tastes nasty!"  We coaxed her into trying it, knowing that fresh spinach, cooked or not, doesn't resemble the taste of canned, that she had tried before. Her remarks after eating a whole serving was "Look everybody, take a picture, I'm eating spinach and it's good!" The grandchildren eat a lot of spinach and like it fixed in various ways, when around our house.
 
Spinach originally came from Persia  - now known as Iran - where its name was called "aspanakh". By the 1300s, it had spread to Europe and Britain where it was particularly popular during Lent. It was being cultivated in North America by the early part of the 19th century. Was used in medieval times by artists to produce a green pigment for illuminated manuscripts. It is one of the few non toxic natural green pigments, and is still used today as body paint. 
 
Spinach is a cool season crop and belongs to the goosefoot family along with Swiss chard and beets. Spinach is low in calories, and is a good source of vitamins and minerals, especially iron. Spinach was, supposedly, the first frozen vegetable to be sold.
 
But does it build muscles as Popeye spouted?
 
Scientists say those green leaves help reduce your risk of age-related macular degeneration, cancer, heart disease and neural tube defects. Also said to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and cataracts. And the healthy dose of potassium and calcium found in spinach can help regulate your blood pressure. The benefits of spinach don?t stop there! Spinach and other leafy greens also provide folic acid, which is known to reduce the risk of neural tube defect and heart disease. Some studies have gone so far as to say it even improves memory. Calorie for calorie, leafy green vegetables like spinach with its delicate texture and jade green color provide more nutrients than any other food. Although spinach is available in grocery stores here throughout the year their season runs from March through May and from September through October when it is the freshest, has the best flavor and is most readily available.
 
I suppose Popeye was right because of all the great energy and muscle building minerals and vitamins spinach contains. That being the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. Along with the vitamins  C, E, B-12, A, B-6, Folate, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic acid, Pantothenic acid and Retinol.
 
If you do not grow your own, it can be found fresh in most grocery stores, in the U.S., year round either bunched or as leaves.  Shop for vivid, dark green spinach with firm leaves and stems. Avoid those with excessively thick, tough or woody stem ends. Smooth-leaf spinach is most often sold in bunches. Medium and Savoy varieties are more likely to be found loose or washed and partly stemmed in packages. I usually have a few jars of organic spinach in my canning cabinet of fruits and vegetables, grown by my husband each year, except this year. He failed to plant enough for me and the bugs and worms that love it as well?
 
Cleaning tip: It is imperative that fresh spinach be washed many, many, many times to removed dirt and little crawly creatures that love to invade those organic leaves.
 
It's relatively perishable and should be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator. It's best eaten as soon as possible after purchase or picking.
 
My Simple Wilted Salad that started the thought on spinach:
 
Enough for one person!
 
6 cups fresh, clean spinach leaves
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Seasoned Rice Vinegar
? cup chopped fresh sweet onions
1 Rib of celery chopped and/or 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
 
Heat Olive oil and vinegar in a deep skillet, large enough to hold the initial six cups of spinach, placed over a medium hot burner. Add onions and celery, sauté for about two or three minutes ( I like the onions and celery to still have a crunch to them). Add spinach and toss constantly until all leaves are coated with olive oil and vinegar and wilted. Remove from burner and serve warm as a salad or side dish!
 

My mother always made her wilted salad with fresh mixed loose leaf lettuce and spinach greens with regular vinegar and sugar, which was a different flavor?
 
Eat your spinach and be healthy!

The drug industry is up to their old tricks!

Trying to rally the country to hand control of the supplement industry over to the FDA so doctors will need to write prescriptions, which they never will, and the drug industry can control our FREEDOM OF CHOICE to choose supplements we wish to use! Read my friend Shane's letter to understand more fully!


Hi Lena,

As a drug chemist I was intrigued by Suzanne Leigh's article in USA Today entitled "Lax rules let supplements lurk as health threats."  My intrigue was replaced with disappointment.

Pushing for stricter regulations on dietary supplements, Leigh lacks insight.  She writes that the journal known as Experimental Biology and Medicine showed Citrus aurantium to have the potential of eliciting the same cardiovascular dangers as ephedra.  This is in sharp contrast to what the study actually found.  The journal published that no adverse events have been associated with ingestion of C. aurantium.  This study is a weak defense for restrictions.

Turning up the rhetorical heat, Leigh closes with "the deaths linked to ephedra might be just the beginning."  The problem here is that there was never a link.  The U. S General Accounting Office insisted that the majority of side effects thought to be caused by the plant ephedra were instead caused by the FDA approved drug ephedrine.  Still, 155 deaths over the 5000 years that ephedra has been used is hardly worth concern when compared to the deaths caused annually by FDA approved drugs: 100,000 according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Here lies my disappointment.  If others share this lack of insight, access to dietary supplements will become limited and subject to the pharmaceutically compliant FDA.  Dietary supplements are essential to healthy living.  Restrictions will undermine our health.  People will grow sick.  To witness, observe the lack of health among those who don't use dietary supplements but instead practice the worship of pharmaceutical drugs.

Freecycle
by Gary Foreman

Gary - I found a website that you will love. It's called Freecycling. People post stuff they don't want, other people contact them to get it. It started in Tucson in 2003, I think, and there are now groups all over the world. I'm in Cincinnati our group has 3,000 members. Please check this out - this is the ultimate in frugal living!
Mary Lynne

-----

Mary Lynne is right. She's onto something that a lot of people would find interesting.

The Freecycle.org website describes the project this way: "Freecycle is a project of RISE, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission includes reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and fostering cooperation between other nonprofit organizations and the public."

It works fairly simply. People join a list of freecyclers in their city. When they're ready to dispose of an item or looking for something they send an email that goes out to the entire list. If you have an interest you contact the original poster and make arrangements to exchange the item. No money changes hands.

The freecycle site will allow you to look for a group in your city. If you don't find one, the site will give you step-by-step instructions on getting one started.

The site claims that just under 600,000 people are part of the groups. They're not limited to the U.S. but can be found worldwide. Twenty five different countries are shown on the list of international participants. They range all the way from Brisbane, Australia with nearly 500 members to a number of cities that have one lone member trying to get things up and running.

Portland has the largest group with over 11,000 members. The 2002 census put Portland's population at 538,000. So clearly it's an idea that's caught on there!

Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to use Freecycle to get things that their clients need. Members are requested to give priority to nonprofits if more than one person wants their item.

So how does it work from a practical aspect? I joined about two months ago. Our list has 600 members in a city of about 50,000. To avoid a lot of email I chose to use the 'digest' mode. That means that I get one email each day that includes all the individual emails to the list over the last 24 hours. I could also have chosen to not get any emails and used the webpage to view postings.

A couple of things are important to the program. Everything offered must be free. Lists are monitored and they claim to maintain a '2 strikes and you're out' philosophy. That means that if you break the rules once, they'll assume you didn't know and warn you. But, if you break them a second time you'll be banned from the group. Our group seems to be controversy free, but the moderator has included a reminder of the rules once or twice.

One weakness that I've noticed is that there seems to be a lot of 'wanted' postings. And, while that could trigger someone to clean out a closet, my experience is that rarely seems to happen.

A second weakness is that the size of the group is both an advantage and disadvantage at the same time. A larger group will have more items available and more people who could be interested in an item. But, as a group gets larger the amount of mail it generates also increases.

Giving items away seems to work well. I tried it with some household items and it worked without a flaw. One posting elicited two email responses. I connected with one by phone and they came and picked up the items the same day.

Like most projects, the biggest trick is to get it started. A group with a very few members will have a difficult time finding matches between those offering and people wanting goods. Probably 100 or more members are needed for a well functioning group.

One thing leading to the success of Freecycle is that it is free. There are no dues to belong to the group. You only risk a few moments of your time to try it out.

The project appears to be very much a grass-roots effort. The freecycle.org webpage doesn't have a 'contact us' link. So beyond the initial instructions on how to form and group and get the
computer list running, you're pretty much on your own.

Take Mary Lynne's advice. If you like recycling and getting the most for your money, you should check out www.freecycle.org   At the very least you'll have an interesting, free experience in how the internet is impacting our world.
