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

Walter Willet, MD, DrPH, of Harvard's School of Public Health, has said

"He worries about people upping their intake of fat-loaded whole milk and the resulting surge of cardiac disease. He also points to such studies as the ongoing Nurses Health Study, which indicate that the calcium in milk doesn't help ward off osteoporosis, and to other studies that link dairy consumption to an elevated risk of prostate cancer. Milk allergies and sensitivities also are an issue -- for instance, an estimated 75% of black Americans and 95% of Asian Americans are unable to digest proteins in dairy and react badly, with cramps, bloating and diarrhea. Given the controversy surrounding dairy's healthful benefits, you can't help but wonder if this new recommendation reflects the pressure of the powerful dairy industry. "

STOP Bleeding, Inflamed, Swollen gums and Bad Breathe Brushing with herbs!

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that will eventually destroy bone and lead to loose teeth and ultimately tooth loss.

Signs of periodontal disease include;

Bleeding gums
Inflamed gums
Swollen gums
Bad breath

What causes periodontal disease?
Infections such as bacteria, spirochetes, viruses, amoebas and fungus are apparent in periodontal disease.

Why is it important to treat the underlying infections?
Untreated infections become more severe, possibly overwhelming the immune system and causing symptoms throughout the body as well as in the mouth! Untreated periodontal disease ha been connected to heart disease, pre-term and low birth weight babies. It is thought to contribute to auto-immune conditions as well as diabetes. Of course untreated periodontal disease leads to gum surgery!

How will Perio-Care? Products eliminate these infections?
This organized, three-stage approach treats both the immediate discomfort and the underlying problems. Each Stage includes the use of specially formulated dental powder, oral rinse and herbal capsules. Each Stage is designed to attack a different group of infectious organisms. By using all three Stages in an organized, rotating Protocol a wider variety of infectious agents can be eliminated.

WHY USE PERIO-CARE DENTAL PRODUCTS?
These formulas eliminate underlying infections and the symptoms they cause. This means that you can expect Perio-Care? to relieve red, swollen and bleeding gums to tighten gums and freshen breath!

Why use several stages rather than just one?
Periodontal disease has multiple and complex causes, No single herb or herbal product can resolve all of these causes for all patients. And because herbs have individualized healing properties and must be carefully combined to achieve a specific goal, not all herbs can be combines with all other herbs compatibly or effectively!

Do I need a special toothbrush?
Not necessarily a special toothbrush but you must use a soft bristle manual toothbrush. Electric or rotary tooth brushes tend to rotate too fast dispersing the powder too rapidly therefore limiting the beneficial effect. For deep pockets we recommend the use of a sulcular brush dipped in Perio-Care? Oral Rinse after brushing.

Perio-Care? is formulated by a periodentist who has seen remarkable results and less dental problems!
Most patients see marked improvement in their gums after the first month of following the Protocol!
Perio-Care is formulated without sugar, wheat, corn, salt, fillers, glycerin, fluoride, caffeine, chemicals or artificial colors, flavor or preservatives!

MRI Detects Bipolar Disorder

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Patients with bipolar disorder may have a new option to help diagnose their condition, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Researchers say magnetic resonance spectroscopy -- a technology commonly used to detect cancers and osteoporosis -- may be the most reliable diagnostic test for bipolar disorder. This technique is the same as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Currently, doctors base their diagnosis on symptoms and family history. Under this system, there are cases that often go undiagnosed for years.

John D. Port, M.D., Ph.D., co-author of the study, says, "Bipolar disorder is challenging to diagnose because individuals can cover up the symptoms of the illness or may recognize only their depression, not the manic phase of the disorder."

Researchers studied 21 bipolar patients between ages 18 and 54 who were not on any medications. Researchers scanned up to 70 regions of the patients' brains with MR spectroscopy. The scans enabled researchers to collect statistical information on five metabolites, which are chemical substances found in brain tissues.

Results show metabolite levels in bipolar patients differed considerably from those without the mental disease in the areas controlling behavior, movement, vision and sensory information.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 2.3 million Americans have bipolar disorder.

As I cut pieces into my soup pot I started wondering exactly what this green stringy veggie did for me. What I learned was interesting as well as alarming...

It was first used as a Medicine and I found out that there is more than kinds than just the green stalks we find in the grocery store here.

Celery (Apium graveolens) grows to a height of 12 to 16 inches and is composed of leaf-topped stalks arranged in a conical shape that are joined at a common bottom base. It is a biennial vegetable plant that belongs to the Umbelliferae family whose other members include carrots, fennel, parsley and dill. While most people associate celery with its prized stalks, the leaves, roots and seeds can also be used as a food and seasoning as well as a natural medicinal remedy.

Celery is believed to be the same plant as selinon, mentioned in Homer's Odyssey about 850 B.C. Our word "celery" comes from the French celeri, which is derived from the ancient Greek word. The old Roman names, as well as those in many modern languages, are derived from the same root word and sound remarkably similar. This indicates a rather recent wide distribution and use of celery.

The oldest record of the word celeri is in a 9th-century poem written in France or Italy, giving the medicinal uses and merits of the plant. When its culture in gardens was begun in the 16th century in Italy and northern Europe, it was still a primitive plant like smallage (common name for celery), and was used for medicinal purposes only.

In France in 1623 use of celery as food was first recorded. For about a hundred years thereafter its food use was confined to flavorings or medicinal. In France and Italy, by the middle of the 17th century, the little stalks and leaves were sometimes eaten with an oil dressing.

In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, in Italy, France, and England, was seen the first evidences of improvement of the wild type. Gardeners also found that much of the too-strong flavor could be eliminated, making the stalks better for salad use, by growing the plants in late summer and fall, then keeping them into the winter.

By the mid-18th century in Sweden, the wealthier families were enjoying the wintertime luxury of celery that had been stored in cellars. From that time on, its use as we know it today spread rapidly. Its seed was brought to Kalamazoo, Michigan, in the 1850s from Scotland, and it became a commercial crop there, grown by Dutch settlers.

All through the 19th century in America, England, and much of Europe, it was believed necessary to blanch the green edible portion of celery to rid it of unpleasantly strong flavor and green color. This was done by banking the plants with soil. Some kinds, like Pascal and Utah, that remain green when ready for eating, are now considered to be of the finest quality.

Many so-called "easy-blanching" or "self-blanching" varieties have appeared in the past 50 years. Generally, these self-blanching sorts are inferior in quality to the best green varieties, but can be grown successfully under less favorable conditions of soil and climate.

Celeriac, or turnip-rooted celery, is a kind that forms a greatly enlarged, solid, more or less globular body just below the soil surface. It is not used raw, but is especially suited for use in soups and stews.

Today research has proven celery seed to be a diuretic. Diuretic substances are used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Research has also shown that celery seed helps decrease blood sugar levels and might be useful in treating diabetes. Modern herbalists believe celery seed aids digestion, increases appetite and may also alleviate the discomforts of rheumatism.

Celery and celery seed have long been thought to be a fairly good aphrodisiac. Research has shown that celery contains androsterone so there may be something to that belief.

Celery can be a great diet aid as digesting celery requires more energy than celery and only 17 calories in a 100 gram portion.

Healthy minerals and vitamins found in celery are; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium,Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, Vitamins C, A, B-6, E, B-12, ascorbic acid, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Retinol and Pantothenic acid. Making healthy, if you get organic uncooked. Some elements are lost in cooking. Light green celery stalks with a glossy surface tend to taste best. (Dark green stalks have slightly more nutrients, but are apt to be stringy.)

Sadly on 94 percent of the non-organic celery tested were found to contain Chemicals and Pesticides; three most commonly found were Dicloran, Acephate, and Oxamyl and also one or more of the following; Acephate, Azinphos methyl, Captan, Carbaryl, Chlorothalonil, DCPA, DDT, Diazinon, Dicloran, Dimethoate, Disulfoton, Endosulfans, Iprodione, Linuron, Malathion, Methamidophos, Methidathion, Methomyl, Mevinphos Total, Oxamyl, Oxydemeton methyl, Parathion ethyl, Permethrin Total, Phosmet, Piperonyl butoxide, Prometryn, Propiconazole, Quintozene (PCNB), and Trifluralin.

My favorite way of eating celery is stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese. Makes a healthy filling snack or side dish.

Enjoy your green string of health but make sure it's organic to prevent pesticide and chemical toxic buildup in your body.

Milk Vending Machines Installed in Schools
Dec 6, 2004
By JOHN HARTZELL

DELAVAN, Wis. (AP) - In schools across the country, milk is replacing sodas, and nowhere is it more popular than in America's Dairyland.

Two-thirds of Wisconsin's high schools have milk vending machines. That's a higher percentage than anywhere else in the country, said Laura Wilford, director of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board's state Dairy Council. The state has 365 milk vending machines in high schools; elementary schools generally don't have vending machines.

The milk from modern machines is a far cry from the boring cartons of yesterday. Besides chocolate, there's strawberry, cookies and cream, and vanilla cream available in colorful, opaque plastic bottles, and most of it is lowfat, Wilford said.

"Some of the machines at this time of the year offer a nonalcoholic eggnog flavor, and it is a big seller," she said.

Nationwide, there are 7,000 to 7,500 machines dispensing milk in schools, and most of those have been installed in the past three or four years, said Julia Kadison of the Beverage Marketing Corp., an industry consultant. It's largely an effort to push kids toward healthier food and drink.

"School lunches do not give us enough milk," Travis Brown, 16, a junior at Delavan-Darien High School, said as he supplemented the half-pint of milk he got with his cafeteria food with a pint from a vending machine.

As a moneymaking project, Future Farmers of America clubs operate about half the vending machines in Wisconsin schools. School food services operate 40 percent, Wilford said.

The FFA in this small town about 45 miles southwest of Milwaukee won $500 in a marketing board contest last spring for increased sales.

Matt Venema, 17, another junior at Delavan-Darien, buys milk from the vending machine because "it's healthy and it tastes good."

In a state that claims milk as its state beverage and the dairy cow as its domesticated animal, dairy producers quickly got behind the effort to bring milk machines to schools. The Wisconsin milk board pays $100 to schools that install milk vending machines, Wilford said.

Wilford, a nutritionist, pointed out that milk provides calcium, potassium, vitamins A and D and protein, "compared with the empty calories, sugar and caffeine in soda."

Research presented at a medical meeting earlier this year suggested that adolescents who had just two servings of dairy food a day seemed to have less of a weight problem than kids who ate less dairy. Some doctors also say an often overlooked problem in teens is vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to weakened bones and stunted growth.

The increase in milk vending machines follows a surge of soft drink machines into the schools for a decade or so. Now, even though the sale of soft drinks in school cafeterias is banned during lunch hour, a fizzy drink can often be found just a step or two outside.

During a recent lunch break, almost every student in the Delavan-Darien's cafeteria was drinking milk, from the school lunch program, the vending machine or both.

Soft drink makers still have about 65,000 vending machines in American schools, Kadison said, with more of the space taken up lately by water, fruit drinks and other beverages.

Kathleen Dezio, a spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association, noted that soft drink makers also produce sugar-free diet sodas as well as water, juices and other drinks schools sell. She said banning soda isn't the answer.

"People want variety in every area of their lives," said Dezio, whose trade group doesn't represent the milk industry. "Restricting access in one environment is not going to teach children good lifelong eating habits."

LENA'S COMMENT: Sadly, this seemingly good move for children is really no better than the soda machines. Milk, as we know it today doesn't give nutrients, as homogenization removes what little remains after all the hormones, antibiotic and radiation making it into a nothing-but-bad-for-you-food... In fact milk is a no no for allergy and asthma ridden children or adults of today. You may not know it but Chinese, Korean and Japanese diets do not include butter, milk or cheese, and very rarely will you find a bone disease in them. It is a known fact that the ads raving about getting your calcium in milk is a totally false notion! What the kids are getting in their milk is lots of hormones, chemicals and antibiotics and a risk of all kinds of illnesses!

I have a younger sister (Younger in my family is 50 years and up) who thinks she can't live without milk and she drinks about a quart or more a day and has for all of her life. It shows as she is severely obese, has a body plagued by severe arthritis, has had numerous broken bones throughout her life and is just plain unhealthy. I've yet to be able to get her to understand the milk is the key to her problems! I, fortunately, was allergic to milk my whole life or I might have been in the same boat with her as we grew up with our own cows, so dairy products was a three times a day norm. I have great strong bones, proven by an MRI a few years back, no arthritis and am not obese. Until I moved into a toxic filled new house three years ago I had no allergies. Two exact opposites from the same family. The key difference Milk or No Milk!
