Something To Think About

YOUR LIVER AND YOUR HEALTH!

One of the largest and most important organs in the body, the liver is located behind the lower right part of the ribs.

Among your liver's primary jobs...

* To store fats, sugar, vitamins and other nutrients from the food
you eat.
* To make bile (a must for the digestion of fats).
* To make cholesterol (which, in spite of its negative reputation,
plays a vital role in the body).
* To make other key chemicals your body needs to stay healthy.
* To break down of toxic substances such as alcohol and drugs.
* To remove waste products from the blood.

Your liver is bombarded daily by fats, sugars, environmental toxins, such as lotions, food additives, chlorine byproducts in your water, unclean air and much more. Any OTC or prescribed drug is a chemical that your liver has to filter out. All these things set you up for ill health! Are you the lucky one with a strong liver and long lifeline or are you one who is destined to have your liver stop working then the weakest organ in your body may become ill. What to do?

KEEP YOUR LIVER IN TIP-TOP SHAPE

If well cared for, your liver will take good care of you. It lets you down, however, when you mistreat it. Start by treating it well!!! Mineral balance is the first line of defense! Proper diet and plenty of rest! Fill Up on Fiber! Chew Your Food Well! The liver plays a key role in the digestion of fats, and contrary to what you hear in ads, Dr. Andrew Rubman notes that there is no such thing as "excess stomach acid. Monitor Your Drug Intake! Even ordinary over-the-counter (OTC) medicines can be harmful to the liver, with acetaminophen (Tylenol) being one of the most ingested as it is in most cold remedies and other pain relievers and toxifies the liver and kills it..."

Supplement with natural botanical/plant minerals and vitamins to keep your liver nourished and healthy.

Today's cosmetics can do more than just make you look good.

According to a Finnish study, there are hidden ingredients that could be dangerous. The Consumer Agency and Ombudsman for Product Safety in Helsinki measured the levels of poisons in 25 brands of eye shadow, in 88 colors. They were looking for evidence of lead, arsenic, chromium, cobalt and nickel. According to a report in the journal Contact Dermatitis, they did find these metals present as impurities in eye shadow. But they were present in extremely small amounts.. On the other hand, people who have been sensitized to any of the impurities might have a skin reaction after contact with these tiny amounts. And because the metals are impurities, they aren't listed as ingredients. They may even be present in some batches, and not in others.

So if you have a reaction to your cosmetics, change brands.

What should a Multivitamin Do?

* Enriched With Minerals(Click Here To Find Out Why!)
* Maximize and Prevention for Serious Diseases
* Maximize and Normalize Your Digestion
* Energize and Repair Every Cell in Your Body
* Provide Targeted Support to Your Eyes, Bones, Organs and Heart
* ONE THAT HAS THE ABSOLUTE MOST!
* Help Lift and Feel Your Active Healthy Vigorous Best

Believe me, not all multivitamins are created equal. In fact, most of the best selling once-a-day formulas are marketed with an eye toward maximizing profit and convenience - not your health. Example, one of today's most popular 'grocery store' multivitamins (the same one that brags about being the formula 'doctors recommend most') falls way short!

Heart Association's Offers New CPR Guidelines
Nov 28, 2005
By JAMIE STENGLE

DALLAS (AP) - In a radical change from the way everyday people do CPR, new recommendations urge many more chest compressions.

The revised guidelines issued Monday by the American Heart Association on cardiopulmonary resuscitation change the ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths from 15 compressions for every two rescue breaths to 30 compressions for every two rescue breaths.

And while the guidelines advocate a "back to basics" approach for the public, they recommend that emergency personnel get more high-tech by cooling cardiac arrest patients for 12 to 24 hours to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Two significant studies have shown that such cooling resulted in improved survival and brain function for those who were comatose after initial resuscitation.

More than 300,000 Americans die each year of cardiac arrest, when the heart suddenly stops beating. The heart association estimates that more than 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims die before they get to the hospital.

Studies show that the chest compressions create more blood flow through the heart to the rest of the body, buying time until a defibrillator can be used or the heart can pump blood on its own. Studies have also shown that blood circulation increases with each chest compression and must be built back up after an interruption, the association says in its online journal Circulation.

"Since the 2000 guidelines, research has strengthened our emphasis on effective CPR as a critically important step in helping save lives," said Dr. Robert Hickey, chair of the American Heart Association's Emergency Cardiovascular Care programs.

This round reddish fruit is sitting in markets these day in large quantities and something you should consider as a health food!

The pomegranate a native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout India and the drier parts of Southeast Asia, Malaya, East Indies and tropical Africa. The tree was introduced into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. Now grown for its fruits mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona.

Granted, it is a bit messy and can stain clothes mercilessly, but the unique sweet taste and health benefits are well worth it. Recent research to identify foods high in antioxidants have brought the pomegranate into the forefront of the antioxidants with its high levels of polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins -- all thought to be important parts of our cancer-prevention arsenal. Food seeds of all kinds are rich in fiber ? including the pomegranate - making for a healthy intestinal system. "Prostate, breast, and colon cancer rates are higher in populations consuming relatively large quantities of meat and lower in populations whose diet is rich in ?seed foods.?" Journal of the American Medical Association

The pomegranate tree is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to 20 or 30 ft., but more typically to 12 to 16 ft. in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. The trunk is covered by a red-brown bark which later becomes gray. Pomegranates are also long-lived. There are specimens in Europe that are known to be over 200 years of age. The vigor of a pomegranate declines after about 15 years, however.

The pomegranate fruit is almost a perfect round, 2-1/2 to 5 in. wide fruit with a crowned base known as a calyx. The tough, leathery skin or rind is typically yellow underneath and overlaid with light or deep pink or rich red. The inner fruits are separated by membranous walls and white, spongy, bitter tissue into compartments packed with sacs filled with sweetly acid, juicy, red, pink or whitish pulp. In each sac there is one angular, soft or hard seed.

Pomegranate is a delicious fruit, which has many potential beneficial compounds. Pomegranate has substances, such as polyphenols, that have antioxidant, anti-viral, and anti-tumor activity. Rich in the minerals Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper and Selenium along with Vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, total ascorbic acid Thiamin Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate and Folic acid making for a very healthy food! Pomegranate may also be helpful in maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin reported that a pomegranate extract inhibited skin tumors in mice, while the red wine compound reseveratrol, applied topically, inhibited the expression of a cancer-causing protein normally caused by exposure to UVB rays. Pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) contains several polyphenols and anthocyanidins (pigment that gives certain fruits their dark red color), which demonstrates a higher antioxidant activity than that of red wine and green tea, according to the Wisconsin researchers.

Seed removal tip: Cut out the blossom end, remove some of the white pith, but do not break the red pulp around the seeds. Score the skin into quarters. Break the pomegranate into halves and then halve again following score lines. Bend back the rind and pull out the seeds.

Uses of the pomegranate;

The juice gives a unique fresh flavor to sauces and marinades for fish, chicken, and beef. Use the seeds to garnish fruit salad, dessert, and appetizers. Pomegranate juice is the original ingredient in Grenadine although contemporary manufacturers may utilize a synthetic.

The seeds and crimson pulp may be added to fruit salad for a touch of color and flavor.

To extract the juice, separate and crush the edible portion of ripe pomegranates (do not remove seeds at this point). Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out the juice, or cut the fruit in quarters and juice with a juicer. Most juicers will automatically extract the juice and discard the seeds.

The juice can be frozen in 1/2 pint or 1 pint containers, to make into punch later on.

Pomegranate Syrup is absolutely fantastic with pancakes, waffles or French toast... To make it;

Boil together 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/3 teaspoon salt and 1/2 bottle liquid pectin. When mixture cannot be stirred down, add 5 1/2 cups sugar and boil for 5 or 6 minutes.

Enjoy your red food!

Here is a tidbit that won't make for good sleeping...

According to an Associated Press article from a few weeks ago, a group of RAND Corporation, a research company, used researchers posing as emergency physicians and allied government health centers across the country in a sort of "medical secret shopper" exercise. During the calls, made to public health centers in communities of all sizes, they described ABSOLUTE symptoms of various bio-toxins the DHS has determined are likely to be loosed on us by terrorists. The "doctors" they spoke to at each clinic in the context of treating an actual patient exhibiting the symptoms.

And although the rate of response for these clinics turned out to better than expected (91% of those that couldn't answer the phone returned calls in less than 30 minutes), NOT ONE of the sample of 19 clinics suggested isolating a "patient" exhibiting the textbook signs of highly contagious smallpox! Also, in none of these interactions did the government "action officer" even advise the caller to use any kind of protective equipment or procedures to avoid contracting the disease.

Beyond this, one of these "suppose to be doctor's" even told a RAND imposter doc to "go back to bed" because no other cases of the disease being described (in that instance, bubonic plague) had been reported in the area... This, despite the fact that bubonic plague is NOT TRANSMISSABLE from person-to-person, but rather the result of an infected flea's bite. Where did that idiot come from? What if that had been an actual person taken ill? That's the most scary part...

Needless to say, the study, funded by the department of Health and Human Services, points to some dismally discouraging shortcomings in our emergency terror response mechanism. There are 2,800 such clinics across the United States, and if each of them is advising first response doctors this poorly, we're in major trouble, folks...
