Seems the French have come up with a novel idea on helping us lose weight. Check out this very short video and prepare to have fun.

Living Healthier

2013-02-11T00:22:00.001-08:00

Living healthy. What does this mean? For one, it means eating foods as nature intended, not the twinkies and diet pepsi that the media screams at us to buy. Sure, twinkies and diet pepsi can taste good, be we all know they are not good for us.

Here's what I choose to primarily snack on on a daily basis. Green smoothies. Green smoothies you say? Aren't those gross? Well, I used to think they would be. Until I made my first one. Took me about 3 sips before the body realized what I was feeding it was actually good. Then I craved it. So how do you make green smoothies?

This is a typical menu I use, which is my own menu, for making smoothies. And because I used a larger blender, the Omni Blender, I can actually make 4 smoothies at one time.

Recipe ingredients that I commonly use are:

- 3-4 leafs Romaine lettuce

- 1-2 stalks Celery

- 1/4 to 1/2 cup homegrown sprouts( mine are typically made using alfalfa, rice, radish, rye, and sometimes wheat, sometimes caraway)

- 1/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

- 1/3 cup fresh or frozen peaches ( not all the time on this one, mostly while in season)

- 1/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries

- 1/5 cup flaked coconut

- 1 TBSP dulse

- 1 TBSP almond butter, or brazil nut butter, or cashew nut butter(mostly made with the Omni blender

- 1 apple, either red delicious or gala

- 1 pear

- 1 or 2 bananas

- 2 to 3 cups water(non chlorinated; mine is well water)

Bear in mind, I do not use all these ingredients at one time, typically though, I will have about 11 ingredients per smoothie. And because I make four smoothies at one time, I can save them in the fridge for a couple of days if I choose. I always use organic produce. It's the only good way to go.

Check out the Omni blender below. It's actually at least as good as the Vitamix, has the 3 hp motor, fits UNDER my cupboards(Omni's height is 16-1/2"), which none of the Vitamix could do, and has a 7 year warranty. And one little thing I can't leave unmentioned, is that it a fair amount less money than the Vitamix. Don't get me wrong, the Vitamix is a great blender. I just prefer the Omni, for the reasons I just stated. Plus, OmniBlend will also send you a recipe book to get you started. How does it get any better than this?

The World Of Internal Energy

2012-03-26T13:40:00.001-07:00

Scientists tell us that everything in the universe is energy, including you and I. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be manipulated. For instance, if you've ever seen the movie, "What The Bleep Do We Know", you may have noticed Dr Emoto's experiments with water. If we can alter the structure of water using simply our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, what is there we cannot do?

I use my thoughts, feelings, and emotions on my water. When it's in a clear container, most of the time, it will change from just being plain old water, to being filled with bubbles. And if let to set for a couple of days, it tastes incredibly smooth.

Scores of teachers show us in real life, that with this process of using our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, we can actually heal not only ourselves, but others as well. To heal ourselves though, we must clear the energy blocks we have put into place over the course of our lives, which will block this process. Dr Robert Anthony shows in precise detail how to attain what you want in your life. Click here to find out more.

Disease In The House?

2012-03-19T20:11:00.003-07:00

Can disease be lurking in your house, without your knowledge? Yes. It may be found as mold lurking most anywhere, from the bathroom to the basement, to the carpeting in your bedroom. Mold is another word for fungus.

Since household mold was addressed in a previous post, this posting is on your personal mold. Yes, you may be harboring mold in your body, and it's all too common; you may not even guess it is there. You know it's there is you have a health issue such as diabetes. And there are scores more health problems where mold, or at least, the milder form, candida, is at the root of the problem.

One of the best, and perhaps the easiest and non-invasive methods of addressing this issue is to start consuming herbs or teas, or therapeutic quality essential oils that are known to help the body better attack fungus issues. There are actually quite a few of these, and if you do have a fungal issue in the body(mold is termed as a fungal issue when it's inside the body, and generally as a mold issue when it's outside the body), it would be wise to consume teas or oils at least twice daily, or use the oils topically twice or more daily.

Using aromatherapy internally is not generally recommended if you have no idea what you are doing, since you may experience certain discomforts doing this, or, depending on what brand of oils you are using, they may be chemicals, which will do you potentially, much more harm than good.

Just a few of the common essential oils known to be anti-fungal include:

1. Oregano oil(this one is hot, better to use on the bottom of the feet rather than internally, unless you buy it is an enteric coated capsule)
2. Cinnamon Bark oil. The bark is different than the leaf, and the leaf is considerably less money. The bark is more potent on mold.
3. Clove oil. The first two oils listed are hotter than this one. You can take this one as a therapeutic quality internally, but when starting out, never take more than 3 drops of any of these, as the detox may cause you to feel very sick.
4. Geranium oil. This one has the added benefit of helping detox the liver.
5. Thyme oil. Not as hot as the first 3 oils, but slightly warm. A moderately potent anti-fungal.
6. Pine oil. This one is an all around first aid type oil, as well as being anti-fungal.
7. Frankincense oil. This one as a therapeutic oil is fairly expensive in comparison to the rest, just to let you know.
8. Lemongrass oil. This is a powerful anti-fungal and digestive aid. Getting this oil on your hands will stain you yellow for several hours.

There are more oils than these that are anti-fungal, but I'm attempting to keep this post shorter rather than longer.

Some herbs/foods that are anti-fungal include:
1. Licorice
2. Olive leaf
3. Pau d'Arco
4. Turmeric
5. Black Walnut Hulls
6. Chapparal
7. Garlic
8. Chamomile
9. Goldenrod

Humidity In The House.

2012-03-12T17:51:00.000-07:00

We all know humidity is around us at all times. And yet, how many of us actually check our household humidity to see if we have the proper amount of it? Or how many of us actually have any idea how much is enough, and how much is too much, or not enough?

The indoor humidity should be relative to the outdoor temperatures. For instance, if the outdoor temp is below 0 degrees fahrenheit, the indoor humidity is generally good at around 30-35%. If the outdoor temp is above 32 degrees, then the humidity should be between 35-50%. Be careful though, because when you get over 50% indoor humidity, mold may become an issue. And you do not want mold in your house.

Speaking of mold, if you have a home with a basement, the moist soil underneath the concrete floor can cause the carpeting on the basement floor to become moist, which then becomes a breeding ground for mold. Mold is a hazard in the home, and it can become life endangering. In some localities, if household mold is bad enough, the home is burned to the ground, and the insurance covers it. Most of the time though, I doubt insurance will cover this.

Here are symptoms of too much, and too little, humidity in the home.

Too much
Windows may condensate
You may have allergic reactions
You may have water stains on walls and ceilings
You may have musty smells

Too little
Your skin, and lips, are likely to be dry and cracked
You may have a scratchy nose and throat
You may have breathing problems
You may find static electricity becomes a problem, especially around electronics

Many health issues are directly correlated, although not usually by the U.S. medical system, to moldy living conditions. These may include type l diabetes, asthma, allergies, headaches, sore eyes, coughing, frequent or seemingly never ending colds or flu.

Installing a hygrometer, or as many people call them, a humidity gauge or humidity sensor, into the home, can offer great benefit when working to maintain the proper moisture content. If you ever saw your parents or grandparents with a pot of water on the stove, there is a high probability that is, at least in part, why it was there.

Ants In The House?

2012-03-04T20:55:00.000-08:00

If you live outside a community with trees, it is very likely you may have an ant problem in the springtime. Ants are kinda simple creatures, that spend their winters in a warmer place, since they cannot tolerate temperature extremes on either side of the scale. In other words, they would be living in your walls, floors, or ceilings. They have food stored up which gets them most of the way through the winter season, but about now in the pacific northwest is when they may start showing up. So how to get them out of the house?

There is more than one way, without using chemicals. One of the most effective methods is to mix raw honey with about 1/5th to 1/4 as much borax. You want enough borax to kill them, but not enough to kill them before they make it back to the queen. Ants scouring your house will take any food back, and give some of it to the queen.

I use honey because the borax mixes well with it, and ants would be more likely to consume raw honey than canned, which is generally what you would find in most stores. Some health stores will carry raw honey. If they are hungry enough, they will eat most anything you would eat. You must kill the queen and the rest of the colony if you want them out of your house. If you don't kill the rest of the colony, another female will take over as queen, and continue producing more ants. Of course, when warmer temperatures arrive, they will be outside most of the time anyway.

The Wintertime Blues

2012-02-27T20:16:00.000-08:00

Wintertime for many people brings depression for a variety of reasons, mostly though, because of the lack of sunshine. Full spectrum lighting can do wonders in this arena, as it helps the body to produce much needed Vitamin D. This type of lighting, which is similar to the sun's UV rays, goes miles beyond anything else is helping us be happy. Have you noticed that on a bright sunny day, you are happier than you would be on a dismal wintry snowy day? Unless you're like me. I live to be happy. But I am human, at least part of the time, so what I just said about me has to be taken with a grain of something. I do take supplemental Vitamin D in the winter months when those UV rays are not available to us in the northern hemisphere. Although I do live on the opposite side of the mountain as compared to Seattle, so I don't have quite as much in the form of cloudy/rainy days as those who live on or near the coast.

If you want some help in finding happiness, there is one person I know who can help you get there, simply by listening to her, or watching her on video. And that is, Rikka Zimmerman. She is called an Access Consciousness Facilitator. She is very good at what she does, and she radiates happiness and love. In my words, she is adorable. Check out this link for one of her short videos and you will see what I mean.

Infections In The Ear

2012-02-20T14:28:00.000-08:00

Infections in the ear, also called infections of the ear, can be very bothersome, particularly for young children and those who take care of them. Doctors prescribe anti-biotics, which can be more trouble than they are worth. When an ear infection, you may have pain in the ear, the throat, and as a headache.

There are two common types of ear infections.....inner ear and outer ear infections, also called external otitis.
If you have an outer ear infection, you will have some pretty strong pain which intensifies with pressure on the outer ear. Swimmers are the most common recipients for this infection.

Inner ear infections can be painful of course, and also cause you to become dizzy and lose balance. These can be caused by bacteria or a virus. It is wise to seek help from a professional as soon as possible.

There are home remedies for ear infections. This doctor of naturopathy has perhaps one of the best methods known of clearing ear infections. You, or your child, does not need anti-biotics in the ears, as these are dangerous especially to young ones, and anti-biotics do nothing for virus issues as you can see from this consumer information page from the Mayo Clinic.

Uses Of Therapeutic Quality Aromatherapies

2012-02-18T11:57:00.000-08:00

The following are all clinically proven. Generally, the use of aromatherapy in healing works best if applied topically, although they can also be often be used as a scent or orally. Care must be cautioned though, when using internally. Always consult a practitioner if choosing to use orally. None of what I'm telling you here has been approved nor authorized by the FDA. I am generally very open to things not approved by the FDA, because of what I know about the FDA.

Lemon oil has been proven to be effective in increasing micro circulation in the body. It also helps the function of the immune system. Application on the bottom of the feet will also help relieve athletes foot.

Lavender oil is perhaps the best known substance in treating burns. Considerably better than Aloe if the lavender is truly therapeutic quality. The scent of lavender is also helpful for headaches and depression. The scent of lavender can help mental recall.

Oregano oil has been shown in university studies to kill every known virus. It is also anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.

Thyme oil is specific for viruses of the spine.

Cedarwood is helpful in meditative practices.

Frankincense has been used since antiquity for issues ranging from gout to a broken head. By scent, it is spiritually uplifting.

Juniper oil may help the kidneys, and helps restore nerve damage.

Cinnamon bark oil has been shown in numerous university studies to be effective at killing all known viruses and helping the circulatory system. Like Oregano, it is also anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.

Clove oil is another oil shown to be effective at killing all known viruses, is anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. This oil is also one of the highest known anti-oxidants.

Geranium oil is known to help restore nerve damage. It also is known to help certain kidney issues, and helps liver function. Geranium oil acts as a styptic, meaning it can help stop issues with bleeding.

Peppermint oil is effective at helping in issues of food poisoning. It is an anti-inflammatory, helps to relax muscles which can be very beneficial in spinal re-alignment. The scent of peppermint can help mental recall.

Ravensara Aromatica is perhaps best know for it's help in liver issues, with hepatitis and also in the treatment of the herpes virus. The peoples of Madagascar, where this grows native, call this "the oil that heals".

Myrtle oil is used to help stimulate the thyroid, and is helpful as a liver and gallbladder stimulant.

Pine oil is often used to help treat psoriasis, eczema, and itching of the skin. It is uplifting when used as a scent. It is effective against yeast, ecoli, mold and fungus. Hippocrates use this oil to alleviate lung and pulmonary issues.

This aromatherapy information is just from a few of the common essential oils available, and not all I use have been addressed here. If you have question, simply leave a comment and I will answer to the best of my ability.

I have personally witnessed all of the above take place with therapeutic quality aromatherapies. I have books in the 400 to 600+ page range, written by medical professionals and healers showing the benefits of truly therapeutic quality aromatherapies. Essential oils have been in our historical use almost since recorded history began.

The Value Of Truly Therapeutic Aromatherapy

2012-02-16T13:16:00.000-08:00

In my last post, I told you I would let you in on what aromatherapy, or as many call it, essential oils, have done for me. Non-therapeutic quality, which is found all over the place, does little for you, and sometimes is more harmful than helpful. Young Living's oils are genuinely therapeutic quality.

I developed insulin dependent diabetes at the age of 24. The doctor and nurses told me I would never get better, only worse. Intuitively, I knew this could not be true. This is what started me on my learning curve, and what put me in the position now of helping you. I now have over 20,000 hours of health research and helping others get rid of disease to draw upon. Cancer and AIDS are actually fairly simple to get rid of.

So without the internet available due to the newness now of it, I went on a quest to find my cure. I got ahold of every bit of literature I could find in healing, and devoured it. But rather than give you my life story here, because there simply isn't room, I'll just highlight issues and healing modalities.

1. For diabetic neuropathy, I applied Lemon oil and Peppermint oil topically and massages in to the skin. Medical literature shows Lemon increases micro circulation, and Peppermint is a very effective anti-inflammatory. I used these solely on intuition. My neuropathy was completely gone in 3 weeks.

2. Having had been a diabetic, my eyesight had suffered. I found that lemon oil, applied on the bottom of the feet, was very helpful in restoring my vision. This did take some time to accomplish, but results were noticed after about 3 weeks of usage.

3. I developed migraines at about the age of 36. After having them for over 6 years, I made a discovery due to my uses of aromatherapies, that Clove oil could help. It was helping. After 7 years, or less than about 6 months of the use of Clove oil for this, the migraines were gone. And it's been longer than the 7 years of having them that they are still gone. These applications generally take only a drop or two of oil each time.

4. I was bit by a black widow in the thigh, in the year 2000. I was living in the country(my favorite place to be), got extremely sick in 5 minutes, and knew that an ambulance ride could be prohibitively expensive. I was unable to drive myself because I was just too sick from the poison from that bite. Going on a small amount of knowledge, I decided instead of calling 911, to use an essential oil blend designed to neutralize odors. This blend had also been discovered to help neutralize poisons from insect bites, although I never found a black widow in any literature for this oil blend. I applied a couple of drops of the oil(about 10 cents worth), on the bite location. Within 20 seconds the pain from the bite was gone. In about 20 minutes, I was back to normal. No effects of the poison of the bite. Poison had been neutralized.

5. I was bitten by a brown recluse in 2007, on my right arm. I have to tell you, there is little that is more disturbing and potentially terrifying, that watching your flesh melt away in front of your eyes. I used that same oil blend along with a couple of single oils topically on location. Even after 30 minutes, I was seeing no effect. Feeling a bit desperate, I kept using the essential oils and the oil blend. In about an hour from being bitten, the poison appeared neutralized. The flesh was no longer disappearing. I then started using lavender oil to rebuild the flesh. Medical science says this is impossible, but my body apparently hadn't heard that yet. I now have no visual effects of that bite. My arm is completely restored. I was harshly chastised by a medical doctor who told me the brown recluse doesn't exist in the pacific northwest. So sad that so many don't know truth. I've seen a total of 10 of the brown recluse between 1994 and 2007. I now know many spiders very well.

6. I suffered a 2nd degree burn from a fire in 1999. One of my colleagues saw me, and said: You got pretty badly burnt. No kidding. I went immediately for my lavender oil and massaged it in. The pain was almost completely gone in about a minute. I kept using the lavender till the burn was completely healed. There is nothing visual or physical to show any indication of that burn.

These are just a few of the things I have used therapeutic quality aromatherapy on myself for. To post what I have done with aromatherapy on others would take a small book to reference it all. I would almost never consider using a hospital anymore, nor a medical doctor. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen, but it would be rare that I would even consider.

The next posting will show what some common uses of specific essential oils may help with. Again, I am not prescribing aromatherapy. And again, I will never be without them. In my opinion though, they are far better than any drug, and used properly, in accordance with the laws of nature, if they are truly therapeutic quality, have zero adverse side effects, which are common in all drugs.

Breast Cancer Rearch. The Rest Of The Story.

2012-02-14T10:42:00.000-08:00

Hopefully you watched the movie trailer in the last posting on breast cancer. I have known for a decade that breast cancer is one of the easiest cancers to eliminate from our lives, and how the drug companies will do whatever it takes to prevent this information from becoming public knowledge. Your medical doctor generally does not know how to cure cancers, and if they do know, they will not tell you. At least, not as a doctor. They may tell you as a friend. But only if they know.

Here's what I know about cancers, and breast cancer in particular:

1. Cancer is always caused by what goes into the body, what the body does with it, and what the body can get rid of. This includes your beliefs. The body allows follows where the mind goes. And most of where the body goes, is by your unconscious beliefs, rather than conscious.

2. I was surprised several years ago when a book I was reading, called Alternative Cures, by Bill Gottlieb. In that book a study done by three researchers shows conclusively, that women who wore tight fitting bras were far more likely to develop breast cancer than those who didn't. The reasoning is obvious for someone like me. A tight bra cuts off the lymphatic flow. The lymph system is a main channel of waste removal. So when you cut off that flow, where does the waste go? You got it. The breasts. I invite you to get Alternative Cures and read it. Reading this book may save your life and your families financial future. I don't need FDA approval for this. Cancer research is a scam, pure and simple. Don't believe me? Check it out with any natural healer, and many prominent medical doctors, including Dr Joseph Merola.

3. The essential oil of Lavender is said to have all the properties to reverse breast cancers. Lavender, in its truly therapeutic state, is an adaptagen, meaning it works where the body has a need. When I work on others with cancer, as I did myself when I had cancer, I use several oils rather than just lavender. Each therapeutic quality oil is capable of allowing the body to get back into balance in certain areas. Essential oils cannot cure you of anything. But they are tools. Most lavender oil on the market is not truly therapeutic, as I had been told, then discovered on my own as well. Most oils on the market are not of great value. And yet, Young Living's are. There are hundreds of thousands of people in America that use this brands oils daily. And I am one of them.

To meet the FDA head on, I am not prescribing oils for your health. But if I were in your shoes with any cancer, I wouldn't do without them either. I use therapeutic quality daily. They are the reason I am alive and healthy now. Thanks to the knowledge, expertise, and willingness to share that information to me, from Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils. He is considered to be the world's foremost authority on essential oils. I owe him my life. Young Living oils are one of extremely few brands that are truly therapeutic, and it is my opinion, having used most of the brands on the market, that theirs are indeed, the best of the best. If you would like to learn about aromatherapy, or have issues you'd like help with, visit this site and click on the link on the left side that says: "Sign up for my newsletter". I don't intend to ruffle any medical personnels feathers with the following statement, but I do believe it is true. And that is, many healers know far more about health than most medical doctors. At least, most medical docs in the U.S.A. Because they are not taught health. They are taught, for the most part, how to diagnose and prescribe.

In my next posting, I will give you examples of what therapeutic quality aromatherapy has done for me. Some of the results may astonish you. Some of those results astonished me.

Breast Cancer Research. Is It All It's Cracked Up To Be?

2012-02-12T12:39:00.000-08:00

First, I'll ask you to watch this movie trailer on breast cancer that just came into the theaters. And in two days, I'll explain in detail, how simple breast cancer generally is to get rid of, and why you should ALWAYS get a second, or/and 3rd opinion when diagnosed.

Healthy Eating

2012-02-10T11:49:00.000-08:00

The majority of Americans generally buy packaged foods to make their meals and snacks with. Yet, we know that most of these foods, even some organic versions, have added items that are simply not good for any living creature. So what to do? Eating raw is a great way to go. I know when I was on a completely raw diet 30 years ago, I had energy that I forgot could exist. My mind was super clear, my memory was awesome, my dreams were good and easy to recall. To get some ideas on eating raw, and it can be very tasty when you do this, visit these video links:

Your Body May Be Crying For Water. But Are You Listening?

2012-02-08T23:06:00.000-08:00

Many people think they get enough liquids in their diets by consuming small amounts of water, perhaps soft drinks, coffee, even teas. But are they? When your body requires water, it wants water. As countless research studies have shown us over the years, consuming soft drinks does nothing to satisfy your water requirements. Nor does drinking coffee. For me, drinking teas is a questionable method, though I've seen more than one study that said drinking tea did not qualify as a true water source.

The body is dehydrated usually for awhile before the thirst mechanism is realized. So by the time you get your glass of water, you are already dehydrated. Did you know....a 2% drop in your body's water supply will induce fatigue? Did you know, not enough water can help create symptoms such as migraines, dry skin, weight gain and constipation?

I invite you to read this article from Dr Mercola on the water situation that we should all be aware of.

Cancer News

2012-01-31T17:05:00.000-08:00

“We’ve long known that being overweight isn’t healthy, but recent research has now definitively linked excess pounds to an increased risk of cancer. In the largest study of its kind, researchers with the American Cancer Society followed almost one million cancer-free men and women for 16 years. At the end of the study, people who were overweight or obese had a higher risk of dying from cancer than those of normal weight.

In both men and women, extra weight was linked to higher rates of death from cancer of the esophagus, colon, rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidney, as well as from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Heavier men also had a greater chance of dying from stomach or prostrate cancer while overweight women were more likely to die from cancer of the breast, uterus, cervix, and ovaries. Although it’s still unclear why excess pounds contribute to cancer, researchers point out that extra body fat raises levels of insulin in the blood and estrogen in women, which can both cause cancer cells to multiply (New England Journal of Medicine, April 24, 2003).

Comment: I think that this study gives overweight Americans one more reason to shed pounds, especially since researchers say losing weight could prevent about one out of every six deaths from cancer each year.”

Reading The Labels

2012-01-27T05:13:00.000-08:00

If you buy packaged foods, which most people in civilized countries do, it would be well advised to read the labels on the packages, AND to know what all those terms mean. For instance, Hydrolized Protein and Yeast Extract, are just other names for MSG. By law, food manufacturers must list MSG on the label. The FDA says that MSG is GRAS, or Generally Regarded As Safe. If so, why are there over 25 names on packages to disguise it? The manufacturers do list MSG. The unwary public is mostly clueless that MSG is even in their foods. And it's in most of them. Check out this site to find other names used to hide MSG from public view. This is another good link from the same site.

NutraSweet is another very dangerous substance, very widely used in foods. Check out this site to see how dangerous this truly is.

Propylene Gylcol is a hazardous material in its own right, and yet, it is in many food and cosmetics. Yet if you go to the FDA's website, or check out the MSDS sheet on it, it will tell you in smaller doses it is safe. Uh huh. Supposedly mercury in our teeth was safe too, and fluoride in our water. Now we know better. Thanks to trillions of dollars in health issues caused by those products. Visit this link to the FDA's website, and start on page 8. There is a huge amount of dis-information on the web, and with mainstream media, on what is safe, and what is not. I have little respect for the FDA, but I do pay attention when they list chemicals as hazardous. Yet they still allow these in foods, drugs, and cosmetics. Who's side is the FDA on anyway? Not yours unless you work in the food and drug industry.

Where did we ever get the crazy idea we would be healthy consuming chemicals? Just one of the forms of the insanity of humanity, it seems....

Did you know.....America has no health care system? Only a sick care system. That's why YOU don't know the cure for cancer, for diabetes, for MS, for AIDS, etc. The drug companies do. But you don't. There's not much money in teaching people to stay healthy. There is hundreds of billions of dollars to be made yearly from disease though.

This is part of another page from the FDA's site, which shows that Ditheylene Glycol was "inadvertantly" put into food and drugs. Knowing how companies want to cut costs and get by cheaply, why even consider having propylene glycol as an option for anything except anti-freeze for your car?

Import Alert

(Note: This import alert represents the Agency's current guidance to FDA field personnel regarding the manufacturer(s) and/or products(s) at issue. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person, and does not operate to bind FDA or the public).

Import Alert # 55-02
Published Date: 03/18/2011
Type: DWPE with Surveillance
Import Alert Name:
"Increased Surveillance Of Bulk Ingredients Susceptible To Contamination With Diethylene Glycol"

Reason for Alert:
In October 2006, a number of illnesses and deaths in Panama were linked to cough syrup that was found to be contaminated with diethylene glycol (DEG). Laboratory analysis performed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), subsequently confirmed by FDA's Forensic Chemistry Center, detected DEG, an ingredient in anti-freeze products, in two samples of acetaminophen elixir products, "Afebril" and "Valodon." The source of the contamination was determined to be glycerin that had been adulterated with less expensive but highly toxic DEG; shipping records indicated the source of the glycerin may have been China.

In 2007, toothpaste manufactured in China was removed from stores in Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Australia after the products were determined to contain DEG. Multiple other incidents involving pharmaceutical products made with DEG contaminated glycerin have occurred, including an incident in 1996 involving acetaminophen syrup that was linked to the deaths of 80 children in Haiti. In 1937, over 100 people in the United States died of renal failure after consuming a DEG contaminated elixir marketed to treat infections.

In 2008, teething relief products were removed from the market in Nigeria after the deaths of over 40 children in that country. The product of concern, a combination of an analgesic and an antihistamine, was determined to have been contaminated with DEG. The DEG contamination is believed to have come from contaminated propylene glycol.

Glycols, such as glycerin, propylene glycol and sorbitol, are present in many formulations of medicinal, food, and cosmetic products. OASIS entry data indicates that approximately 1100 shipments of bulk glycols are received in the United States per year.

Healthy Humming

2012-01-25T13:25:00.000-08:00

“Are you one of those people who hums as you go about your day? In addition to filling the air with song, you may also be warding off sinus infections. Healthy sinuses rely on good ventilation and adequate levels of nitric oxide (NO), which is produced in the sinuses and airways and acts as an antimicrobial agent against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Several studies have found that, compared to quiet exhalation, humming increases air flow through the nasal passages and produces a 15-fold increase in exhaled NO. As a result, humming on a regular basis may protect against and help relieve sinus infections.

It may sound crazy, but if you’re one of the 37 million Americans who suffers with headaches, pain, pressure, congestion, and other signs of sinus infections, therapeutic humming is certainly worth trying. (Low, sustained frequent humming that creates vibration appears to be most effective.) I also recommend it for people with asthma, allergies, and other conditions that are marked by reduced respiratory NO levels. With the cold season still upon us and allergy season just around the corner, it’s good to know that this simple activity may help keep you in the pink.”

Junk Food, or Real Food? You Decide

2012-01-23T10:12:00.000-08:00

“The combination of carbohydrates (from high-fructose corn syrup) and omega-6 oils (as trans fatty acids) found in the typical fast-food meal is also a real one-two punch to your liver. Within just a few weeks, mice fed a fast-food diet underwent an increase in insulin resistance and an increase in markers of liver damage. You don’t want to even imagine how much damage a diet like this could do to a person’s liver over the course of several years.

Now it turns out that, once you get into the habit of a diet like this, it’s hard to get off. A recent report showed that fat in the diet may be just as addictive as hard drugs. Researchers fed groups of rats either a nutritious diet of only rat chow, a tasty but nutrition-poor diet, or a mix of the two types of food. When the ‘junk-food’ rats had their tasty food taken away, they preferred to starve rather than eat healthy food, refusing to eat the nutritious rat chow for almost two weeks.”

Restoring Failing Eyesight

2012-01-19T08:22:00.000-08:00

While perhaps not all eyesight deterioration can be restored, most of it can. I commonly hear that eyesight gets worse as we age, that's it's all because we are getting old. But is it? Imagine, if you will, that aging has little if anything to do with losing eyesight. What if.....your eyesight going down the tubes was caused by the foods you eat, the pesticides you use, the hairspray that goes on top of your head, the air fresheners you spray? Would it be worth it to you to stop using them, and detox yourself to regain your eyesight? I did just that. And it worked.

Here is a sample of what you can do to help your eyesight. Take
Mountain Rose Herbs Chlorella every day, preferably mix it in water and slowly drink. Keep it in the mouth for up to a minute or more before each swallow. Very powerful in health with this method. You can buy Mountain Rose Herbs Chlorella by the pound if you desire.

Chlorella is used because it helps to detox heavy metals and other toxins out of the body, plus, it is considered by most health professionals to be a perfect food, with everything we need for good health. Chlorella is our highest known source of useable protein, and our highest known source of useable vitamin B-12. And you thought beef was there in both cases, didn't you? The protein in beef is difficult to digest by human, and only about 22% of the beef is actually protein. Chlorella has 60-70% very useable protein. The B-12 content of beef is moderately high, but B-12 is a vitamin that is destroyed by heat. So cooking it kills most, if not all of that vitamin. Chlorella scores! Plus it also is high in calcium. 5 times higher than cows milk. Do we actually need the cow for more than a pet?

Another method that works well, at least for me, was rubbing the therapeutic quality lemon oil on the bottoms of the two larger toes next to the big toe. Or alternatively, just apply to the bottoms of the feet. Rub it in until it has completely saturated into the skin. Remember not to put shoes or socks on for at least 15 minutes after the topical application. Lemon is clinically proven to help eyesight. You can find therapeutic quality Lemon at this site.

Since We're In The After New Years Resolution Mode....

2012-01-17T10:32:00.000-08:00

We sure don't want to remember making those resolutions we made on New Years Day, 3 months later, and then say: "Darn it. I forgot all about getting back into shape like I planned. Now it's too late to get in shape for summer". But....there is a solution. Don't forget. Get a memory course(this is an awesome book!). Or better yet, do the memory course later and do the 60 day total body workout on DVD now, and be ready for summer with a body you didn't realize or remember that you actually had, that you are proud to show off.
