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

TMJ (temporomandibular joint - jaw joint - disorder) impacts women of childbearing age more frequently than it effects other segments of the population. TMJ commonly occurs along with fibromyalgia, migraines, mitral valve prolapse and other conditions linked to magnesium deficiencies. A major factor in all of these associations may be that because magnesium gets depleted through the menstruation process, women of child bearing age are more likely to be at risk for conditions linked to magnesium deficiency.

The Price Of Illness & Disease!

* Hypertension drugs - monthly - run $125 to $300.

* If you buy into the Cholesterol lie and take a statin or other cholesterol lowering drug - $110 to $150 a month - which will shortly require many more drugs to treat the side effects of those upping it another $150 to $300 a month!

* Diabetes paraphernalia will run upwards of $300 a month.

* Heart medications $100 to $250 a month that will require $60,000 to $180,000 surgery within six months to two year caused from taking those drugs...

* The price of cancer traditional treatments that are yet unproven to actually cure: Avastin, $4,400, Erbitux $17,000, and Zevalin $24,000-and that's per patient, per month!

None of these are meant to correct the problem so that you can get off medications, so why continue the cycle!

How long can your insurance company pay these exorbitant prices before finding a reason to get you off their rolls?

Try Natural that may actually repair and reverse most illness and disease for pennies compared to traditional at hundreds to thousands of dollars a month:

Memory Loss A Big Negative With Conventional Prostate Cancer Treatment

Testosterone deprivation, or "ablation," is a form of prostate cancer therapy for men. According to studies, men undergoing this therapy may forget things faster than healthy men.

The process of testosterone deprivation involves either surgically removing the testicles or taking medications to block the production of male hormones, specifically testosterone, which encourages prostate cancer growth. This prostate cancer therapy eliminates most male hormones found in the body.

In a study, researchers examined 30 age-matched men -- 14 men undergoing testosterone deprivation treatment and 16 healthy men. All were presented with lists of words. The men were asked to identify whether the words were in capital or lowercase letters, or if they represented objects that occurred in nature or were artificially made. These studies examined perceptual and semantic processing.

Researchers found that the initial learning of words, or encoding, for testosterone-deprived men was equal to that of healthy men. However, after only two minutes, word retention dropped sharply for men undergoing the prostate cancer therapy. It was concluded that memory loss occurs somewhere between encoding and retrieval.

Also, it was suggested that the lack of testosterone might have negative repercussions on the function of the hippocampus, a curved, elongated ridge in the brain responsible for learning and memorization. Ordinarily, hippocampus damage is a result of early Alzheimer's disease or lesions from strokes.

Since the success of long-term memory relies heavily on the functioning of the hippocampus, researchers are hoping to discover alternative prostate cancer therapies that do not adversely affect brain functioning. Studies are being developed to monitor blood flow changes within parts of the brain that are activated during memory tests. Future studies may also allow researchers to examine what testosterone deprivation does to structures of the brain.

Beets or beetroot! So bashful they keep their heads in the ground.

Some refer to this purplish wonder as beets others as beetroot. Either way is correct. Some people only eat the root bulb but the greens are very nutritional and tasty and one of my favorites.

Once you've tasted fresh beets in the peak of their season from June through October, you'll delight in their sweetness and versatility. I should mention that they have the highest sugar content of all the vegetable kingdom. There are factories that process the sugar from the beets, called Sugar Beet Factories!

Beets and beet greens contain the health building minerals calcium, Iron, magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium along with the vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate, and Retinol.

Experts believe that the red pigmentation of beetroot contains certain anti-cancer agents. Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe. Specific anti-carcinogens are bound to the redish/purple coloring, which supposedly helps fight against cancer and beetroot also increases the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 percent. Additional studies are taking place to add support to these claims.

The green leafy part of the beetroot contains beta-carotene and other carotenoids,(Carotenoid refers to plant pigments - of which there is a family of about 600 different types. These all function as antioxidants. The yellow, orange, and many of the red pigments in fruits, vegetables, and plant materials are usually carotenoids.) The roots and greens are especially good for women during their menstrual period and those planning pregnancy.

Preparing raw beets requires a mindset; put on an apron, to catch the splatter and roll up your sleeves. Next, tell yourself that for that entire day you will be the proud owner of a pair of red hands that look like you just killed someone unless you wear gloves. Then, get to work on the beets.

For salads, cut off the root and stem ends, peel and coarsely grate the beets. Place them on the top of an individual salad as a garnish or serve them in a separate bowl tossed with seasoned rice vinegar to be passed at the table. If you toss the beets into the salad, the entire salad will blush. Sometimes this may be a desired effect when you want to give your veggies a rosy glow.

Beets are famous for blushing or, more commonly called bleeding. To reduce bleeding and preserve more of the flavor as well as the nutrients, cut beet tops off, leaving at least 1" of stems intact. Usually when you buy fresh beetroot it will still have the leaves and stalks attached. To cook the beetroot simply cut off the stalks making sure to leave some of the stalk in tact as it helps to hold in the nutrients.

Beetroot can be steamed or cooked in boiling water. Cooking time can be from 20 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the beetroot and your desire for soft or crunchy. Test the beetroot with a skewer: when it's soft to your desire, remove it from the heat and cool it under running water - this will make the skin easier to remove for serving.

Try raw:
Grated finely can add to other vegetables.
Mix grated beetroot with raspberry vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar.
Mix grated beetroot, grated orange rind and orange juice for a tasty salad.
Plain grated beetroot is great on hamburgers or veggie burgers.

You can serve cooked beetroot as a hot vegetable accompaniment to a meal; or allow it to cool and slice it to put on a homemade burger. Cut into cubes and stir-fry it with some steamed cubed potatoes and pumpkin. Add a little garlic and some diced onions ? this makes a delicious vegetable dish to serve with the rest of your meal.
Roasted: To roast the beets, its best to peel them and cut off the root and the stem ends. Slice them, toss or spray a tablespoon or two of Olive oil, and spread them out on a roasting pan. Roast at 400 for about 25 - 30 minutes, turning mid way through. To add a little pizzazz, when tossing them in the oil prior to roasting, sprinkle with salt and some dried thyme, dill, marjoram, or oregano ad onion chunks for more flavor.

Prepare the greens as close to the purchase time as possible to retain all those health benefits. Wash them thoroughly, and coarsely chop. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the saucepan by 1/2". Squeeze in the juice of one half lemon and add a little salt, onion powder, lemon pepper and a hint of cayenne. PACK greens into a smaller saucepan than you might think you need--one bunch of beet greens cooks down to practically nothing! Cook uncovered over high heat, which allows some of the oxalic acid in the greens to escape, a desirable process, since oxalic acid inhibits the absorption of calcium contained in the greens.

Today's recipe is from a former patient whose mother won a Betty Crocker baking contest with it years ago and a lot of money, but she gave the recipe to me so don't worry about it being a copy write problem! This is oh so good and even my kids and grandkids eat it without knowing what's in it? Color is nice as well as delightful flavor?

Healthy Holidays Without Deprivation!
(c) By Lena Sanchez

What we do know for sure is; that no/low-fat and no/low-carb foods are detrimental to your health. Of course your grocers labels and shelves aren't telling you that.

With the holidays coming up the problem is going to be overeating of the bad fats. Bad fats being animal and hard vegetable/animal combinations along with all the sugar your system can possibly absorb bombarding your poor pancreas.

The particular fads right now are no fat, low carb diets. Yes it's a fad that's out there and helping make people ill rather than healthy as you have been led to believe. This premise has been propagated by the food industry, who has no idea what is healthy but everything about what it takes to sell you on eating more then you should, eating processed foods and certainly things that are going to make them money!

Remember this! No fat in your diet or eating the majority of no/low fat foods and no/low carb foods on the grocery shelves can make you ill sooner or later! This is not a well-known fact and the manufacturers of those products would not like you to know that. Especially since it directly impacts their livelihood!

A bad thing with the low-carb, low-fat foods on the shelves today is the overloading of sugar substitutes packed into them to compensate setting the stage for making you ill. At the same time these foods do not prevent obesity but in fact creates more fat over the long haul, which is supposed to be the reason for no/low-carb no/low-fat foods.

How do I know this?

A nurse friend worked at a hospital that thought they should lead the way in being healthy and enlisted a whole group of nurses and doctors, who worked there, to go with a "no fat" diet. They carefully created a so-called healthy "NO Fat" diet. Sorry to say after six months on the no fat diet people began losing their hair, thyroids were going berserk, their skin began to dry out and look dehydrated, wrinkles occurred and some began picking up the patients illnesses and the care taker became the patient and unable to get over the illness. Nerves were shot and tensions began to be a problem on each floor that had volunteered to do the no fat diet. It didnt take them long to realize that fat is important to our diets and a must for good health. Luckily when they corrected the no fat diet and added plant based fat their health returned and hopefully with no residual bad affects to show up later.

Good fats are necessary to our health!

A study out of Australia had fantastic results on a diet that has been said to be bad fat by those who don't know! People in the study who ate 1 1/2 avocados per day lowered their cholesterol levels from an average of 236 to 217.

Other studies have found that low-carb diets and sugar substitutes are creating fatter people!

It is important to distinguish between "bad fats" those that typically come from four-legged animals and "good fats" - those from fish, nuts, avocados and soybeans and integrate them into your diet.

For the holidays we all will probably undergo a great "bad fat" flux with all the cookies, candy, puddings, turkey, ham, marshmallowed yams, etc. Don't, later, over compensate with no/low carb or no/low fats and compound the problem. Once will not kill you but an ongoing diet of that type will!

During this holiday season make lunch your biggest meal, when you're more likely to burn calories after eating. But don't skip breakfast to "save up" for the holiday meal - that tactic usually leads to snacking on sugary & fatty stuff instead. Try nibbling some almonds, pumpkinseeds or low-fat cheese with fruit before hitting a party. By depriving yourself you are setting up for a real shocker after the holidays. Make a light supper/dinner your key to not gaining all those holiday pounds.

Eat all things in Moderation and forget the no/low fats and no/low carb foods!!!
