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

Informed Consent! Or Is It?

The principle of informed consent means that, as a patient, you understand the nature of the medical care you're going to receive and accept the risks involved.

That's the principle. In practice, some of those "informed consent" forms are as hard to understand as an insurance policy.

The University of Minnesota reviewed some of the consent forms and compared them to other publications using the Fry scale. The higher the score, the harder something is to understand. Here's what researchers reported in the American Journal of Medical Sciences:
1)The average Ann Landers column has a Fry score of 7.67, which means that 75 percent of the population can understand it.
2) Reader's Digest has a score of 9.95, and can be easily understood by 69 percent of the population.
3) But the informed consent forms, the ones that you bet your life on, had a score of 15.03. That means only about 37 percent of the people reading them could understand what they were all about.

How Can You Be Obese and Malnourished?
© By Lena Sanchez

"If you are obese you are malnourished."
2004, Dr. Phil McGraw

"In the future we will be a nation of fat bellies."
1936 United States Congress

The last statement was made in 1936 by the United States Congress in Document # 264 released to the public, when men of character still existed and wasn't in the pockets
of the rich companies! After a thorough study of nutrients in our ground scientists came to the conclusion that; Our soils which are seriously deficient in trace minerals, cannot produce plant life competent to maintain our needs, and with the continuous cropping and chipping away of
those trace minerals and concentrates, the condition becomes worse. Followed by the statement, "In the future we will be a nation of fat bellies.

I would say those men of foresight was right on, yet the facts they found are not being taught in our schools and that includes our medical schools enabling our doctors to actually make a difference in health. Well, here we are sixty-eight years later fulfilling that prophecy!

In the 1950's fertilizer became the way of replenishing the depleted soil, or so the farmers thought. Sadly fertilizer only contains 3 or 4 minerals while still lacking 80 to 81. People believe if a fruit or vegetable looks beautiful it contains healthy nutrients. That's what those who sell them want you to think. Fruits and vegetables do contain a minute amount, but to eat sufficient amounts in order to glean enough to make a difference in your body would surely put on a few hundred pounds in no time!

According to the latest figures the world consists of 64 percent obese people and growing daily. Sadly those same people are unaware their obesity means suffering with severe malnutrition. Eating a lot of food does not guarantee nutritional nourishment, only calories and fat

Combine the 1936 facts with the way our foods are processed - under the guise of keeping us healthy removing what little nutrients are left putting your risk for becoming ill sooner or later at 100%! Before all the pasteurizing, homogenizing, genetic modifying and radiating foods most people's immune system was healthy enough to ward off those bacteria. Only after illnesses
became so prevalent and the scientific world ignored the 1936 report did all the processing become a way of life. That depleted our foods even further making for scores of cancer, disease and illnesses becoming greater each year

Over my 67 years of life I have learned one thing; if I eat sweets or processed foods alone or at a meal my body says feed me within the hour after eating! Those empty carbohydrates lead to a sugar rush, which is soon followed by a plunge in energy that leaves you tired, irritable,
hungry and craving something sweet. Watch your food intake and see if that doesn't happen to you I have learned that when I keep my minerals balanced I don't experience hunger as often nor do I crave the carbohydrates of old

The 1936 document stated, "No man of today can eat enough fruits and vegetables to supply his system with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health..."

That was the beginning of the understanding of how important minerals were to our health, but the ball was dropped and has not been passed along to the generations following We are taught that daily vitamins are necessary, but are they doing us any good?

It was established in 1936 that, "Minerals are vital to human metabolism and health but no plant or animal can manufacture minerals within the body unless they are present in their foods. Vitamins can only be utilized in the body when the proper mineral content is present!!!" You
will notice that most foods today contain a few minerals but nothing near the 84 minerals and trace minerals that our blood plasma requires to bathe our cells in and maintain health!

Avoid obesity, check out your intake of minerals and see if you are getting sufficient amounts. Here are some problems that may help you ascertain if you are receiving sufficient minerals daily. Each one is indicative of at least three or more mineral deficiencies!

Acne, Anemia, Arthritis, Asthma, Brittle nails, Birth defects, Cancer, Candida (yeast infection), Heart disease, Chronic Fatigue and/or Fibromyalgia, Constipation, Cramps/ muscle spasms, Depression, Diabetes, Digestive problems, Goiter (low thyroid), Hair loss, Premature Graying hair, Hyperactivity, Immune system weakness, Impotence, Infertility, Liver dysfunction,
Low blood sugar, Memory loss, Muscular weakness, Nervousness, Osteoporosis, PMS, Receding gums, Sexual dysfunction, and Wrinkles/sagging (early aging).

I implore you to get proper mineralization into your body today to avoid obesity and bad health. If your supplement has less than 84 minerals and trace minerals you are not getting sufficient supplements!

Wishing you great health!
Lena

Strange shape, strange names but great taste!

As I rolled the huge pear/ball/grapefruit shaped thing in my hand debating whether I should try it or not? I decided it would be worth the risk as it had a thick skin making it less likely to be full of pesticide chemicals. The name was strange and one I didn't recognize. On investigation I found out that it carries several names; pomelo = pummelo = Chinese grapefruit = shaddock! Pronunciation: PUHM-uh-low - The French name for this fruit is chadec. The current Malayan names are limau abong, limau betawi, limau bali, limau besar, limau bol, limau jambua, Bali lemon, and pomelo.

I'll call it a Pummelo as that is what the name on the box said... Pummelo is the largest of the citrus fruits with a shape that can be fairly round or slightly pointed at one end -the fruit ranges from nearly round to oblate or pear-shaped. They range from cantaloupe-size to as large as a 25-pound watermelon and have very thick, soft rind. The one I bought was sort of pear shaped and about 10 inches across... It is known in the western world mainly as the principal ancestor of the grapefruit The pummelo is popular in the Asia and is new to California but rarely seen in the Eastern United States.

It's sweeter than a grapefruit. The skin is greenish yellow and slightly bumpy with the feel of citrus skin; flesh color ranges from pink to rose.

The pulp is milder and sweeter than its closest cousin, the grapefruit. Pummelos are available mid-January through mid-February from California. Can be used in the same manner as any other citrus fruit.

Said to be native to southeastern Asia and all of Malaysia; It is said to grow wild on river banks in the Fiji and Friendly Islands. It is said to have been introduced into China around 100 B.C. It is much cultivated in southern China - Kwang-tung, Kwangsi and Fukien Provinces - and especially in southern Thailand on the banks to the Tha Chine River; also in Taiwan and southernmost Japan, southern India, Malaya, Indonesia, New Guinea and Tahiti.

The pomelo is also called shaddock after an English sea captain, Captain Shaddock, who introduced the seed to the West Indies in the 17th Century from the Malay Archipelago. The seeds produced fruit somewhat smaller than the current grapefruit, more like an orange. The size of the fruit and the fact that it grew in bunches or clusters like grapes prompted a 19th century naturalist to liken the new fruit to grapes, with which it has no botanical relationship whatsoever.

Some say the grapefruit is a cross between an orange and the pummelo (or shaddock), while others believe that grapefruit is a natural mutant (sometimes referred to as a small shaddock) derived from the seeds Captain Shaddock brought to the West Indies.

Pummelo skin is also used medicinally in some cultures. For instance, in Southeast Asia raw pummelo skin pieces are given to patients to eat who are having problems with excessive coughing and who have a history of epileptic seizures.

As for the nutrients in a Pummel? Guess it's a mystery as I couldn't find anything written on the nutrients in one. I am assuming since it's citrus it has lot of phytonutrients but exactly which ones is a guess... Since it is used as a medicine in Asia I suspect they are all good!

I ate mine raw and was very good and tasty, just slightly sweeter than a grapefruit with a very similar taste. I shall be eating more, even if I don't know exactly what nutrients are in one.

The Experiment in food was well worth it!

Md. Hepatitis C May Be From Medical Tests
By KASEY JONES

BALTIMORE (AP) - A company that makes substances used in some common medical tests has suspended operations at a nuclear pharmacy in Maryland as state and federal health officials investigate several cases of hepatitis C in the Baltimore area, authorities said Thursday.

Those who contracted the disease may have received injections from the same vial of a tracer agent prepared at a Cardinal Health Inc. facility in Timonium, company spokesman Jim Mazzola said.

"From what we understand, there is a possible commonality of a single vial of tracer agent," Mazzola said from Dublin, Ohio, where Cardinal Health is based.

State officials did not say how many people developed the liver disease, but Mazzola said the substance was administered to "no more than 16 patients" on Oct. 15.

The substance is among several common factors in the hepatitis C cases that are being investigated, said Karen Black, a spokeswoman with the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Nuclear pharmacies, which serve hospitals and imaging centers, make tracer agents that are injected into patients and then scanned or tracked through their bodies. Common tests include checking for arterial blockages, Mazzola said.

Mazzola said Cardinal has been cooperating with the department and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

State health officials have contacted hospitals to ask that they report any hepatitis C cases immediately, Black said.

Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by a virus. It can be transmitted when blood or body fluids from an infected person enter the body of a person who is not infected. It causes between 8,000 deaths and 10,000 deaths in the United States each year, according to the CDC.

If left untreated, hepatitis C can result in liver damage, which can lead to serious conditions such as liver cancer or cirrhosis.
