TRAVEL CHANGES

If you are traveling using American Eagle beware with how much handheld luggage you carry. They are getting more and more to be a pain in the neck.

You are only permitted one carry-on only. For a.person like me who travels with so much this really a pain in the neck. Traveling rules are becoming so strict that it is becoming difficult to travel.

Somehow we are going to have to learn to travel with much less.

Amswering these questions are Key to Happiness

What is the purpose of life!
What purpose does my life have in this world?
Is my philosophy of life a source of happiness to me and others?
Am I willing to die for what I believe in or for the sake of others?

This last questions has been misused by some who believe in destroying lives for a supposedly greater good.

I should give my life for others, but not take a life for mere philosophy or theory.

If you anot answer the above questions correctly, then there is no purpose in your life.

Brittle Nails and Mineral deficiency

Mineral deficiencies are the most common causes for brittle nails. The most common deficiencies would be:

 

1) Iron

2) Calcium and Magnesium

3) Silica

 

Also other nutrients can be related such as a protein deficiency. Now the protein deficiency is not caused by not eating enough protein. Because most people eat too much protein. But it is mainly due to digestive problems that are causing the protein deficiency.

A lack of acid in the stomach can be a cause of protein and mineral deficiency. This is because the stomach acid helps in the digestive process and without it these nutrients can't be absorbed even if you ate enough of them.

 

Determine if you have too little or too much acid by doing the following test:

 

Drink the juice or two lemons (pure) with a straw after you eat. IF you feel you digested your food better then you have a stomach acid deficiency that is causing your brittle nails.

If you develop acidity, then this may not be the case.

Different diets For different people

Not everyone responds weightwise to the sae diet. The reason for this is that many of us have dammaged our metabolism due to the excess sugars, fructose and refined starches to the point where we react to even good starches.

Due to this some respond better to a protein vegetable diet, others to a starched base diet and still others with a more balanced mixed diet.

Impact Corless Wrench

Although there are a number of different power tools commonly used to make work go much faster, the impact wrench often used in a variety of industries. The auto industry is often the first thought is, where is this type of instrument in mind, but it is often used in product assembly, heavy equipment repair, and construction. With high torque and the stored rotating mass that makes minimal effort by the user, this is a very useful tool. On taking a look at the variety of wrenches, many people will often choose the impact cordless wrench for the number of distinct advantages that the wireless device can provide.

The biggest advantage of using a  impact cordless wrench is the ability to use the tool and to participate in one location without the need to have a power source. This enormous flexibility really helps to make up for the decline in power that is found for impact cordless wrench models because there are many times when there is no other choice. The apparatus in place is always possible when it is not necessary to have an electrical source. Many of the other designs typically use an air compressor to power, but it is often impossible to bring an air compressor with enough power to blow the key to working efficiently.

Another benefit found with the impact cordless wrench has no attached cables is the increase of security available when used in the workplace or other areas where there may be a lot of foot traffic. Without the need to use an electric wire or an air compressor, impact cordless wrench does not leave any dangling cords that can cause a tripping hazard or other injury. Anyone who has ever worked in a car work will fully understand why this is such a big advantage.

Ease of use in very tight places is also greatly enhanced with the use of one. As some of these impact cordless wrenches are made with an angle-head design that is elongated with a small head, they fit neatly into any hard to reach place. Although some users will still manage to see a downside to using impact cordless wrench of an air-driven design, with the ability to have backup batteries on hand, and the new type of circuit technology that reduces the loss of power, the impact cordless wrench can be an excellent addition to any workplace.

Frustration

What can you do when your sons or daughters just don't appreciate you and only see you as old news already expired?

 

You try looking for other people who can appreciate you...it is difficult to find.

What to do in these cases?

Young people just don't appreciate "grey hair" anymore, Even though each and one of those grey hairs were for them.

But do they really care? What to do to wake them up? Sometimes even after the death of a parent they don't change enough.

This is a miracle that only God can work. But many youth even those raised in christian homes only want to serve self and continue to disobey conscious at risk of their perdition.

 

But who will get this in their thick skulls? They think they know so much! When they don't know a darn thing!

Until they stick their feet where they can't take it out! And even then...they prefer to continue in their rebellion!

Impact Cordless Wrench

There are three types of impact wrenches:

1) impact cordless wrench

2) impact air wrench

3) impact electric wrench

 

Each one has advantages and disadvantages. The Impact air wrench is the most powerful of the three. But has the disadvantage of needing an air compressor to use it. Which is not always available.

The electric impact wrench has power and can be plugged in anywhere. But you need to have access to power.

The impact cordless wrench doesn't have as much power as the two previous ones but can be used anywhere without power or air compressors.

The disadvantage of the cordless version is that the battery pack tends to make it very heavy.

There are two scenarios to consider. Scenario one is when a person is in frequent contact with the lady. And the second is when because of distance or other ciccumstances they do not see each other that much.

In the first situation the recommended time frame is 6 months to 1 year.

Urinary Tract Infections - Not always treatable with Cranberry Juice

Urinary tract infection is not always treatable with cranberry juice. Cranberry juice is great for preventing a urine infection and may help for mild cases of urine infection but not for moderate to more advanced infections in the urinary tract.

Herbal remedies are more effective. As long as you know what herbs to use for urinary tract infection you should be alright. Many herbs are vey powerful for urinary infections.

I found that as long as you attack the problem as fast as possible you will be ok using herbs.

But of course if you have been getting frequent urine infections, then you definitely need a complete healthy approach to get rid of them once and for all.

Lymes disease - Problem with Diagnosis Approach

One of the major characteristics of Lymes disease is the Bulls eye rash.

When present it is considered a clear sign of Lymes disease.
Some practitioners make the mistake by trying to confirm this by doing a blood test and waiting for the results as a confirmation.

There is a problem with this approach. These are:
1. By the time test comes back the Lymes disease will have advanced to chronic stage

2. It takes about three weeks(or more) for antibodies to start showing the blood

3) Blood test may come out negative even if you have Lymes.

If you have bulls eye sign you should immediately start the threatment and don't wait.

ZENIT - Pontiff Wants Families to Start Preparing 2012 Event

English > See information

Pontiff Wants Families to Start Preparing 2012 Event

Recommends Initiatives Based on "Familiaris Consortio"

VATICAN CITY, SEPT. 26, 2010 (Zenit.org).- The next World Meeting of Families is not till 2012, but Benedict XVI is asking families and parishes to begin preparations a year in advance, availing of Pope John Paul II's apostolic exhortation “Familiaris Consortio.”

The German Pontiff made this request in an Aug. 23 letter to the president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, Cardinal Ennio Antonelli. The Vatican released the letter this week.

The theme for the upcoming 7th World Meeting of Families is:  "Family: Work and Celebration." The Holy Father's letter reflected on these themes, and the appropriate balance of work and rest.

"Work and celebration are intimately connected in the life of families: they condition choices, influence relations between married couples and between parents and children, affect the relation of families with society and with the Church," the Pontiff noted. "Holy Scripture tells us that the family, work and the feast day are gifts and blessings of God to help us to live a fully human existence. Daily experience attests that the authentic development of the person includes the individual, familial, and communal dimension, activities and functional relationships, as well as openness to hope and to the Good without limits."

In this light, Benedict XVI lamented the modern organization of work, "in function of market competition and maximizing profit," and the concept of rest or celebration as an "occasion for escape and consumption."

He said both these factors "contribute to the break-up of the family and the community and to the spreading of an individualistic lifestyle."

"Thus," the Pope continued, "it is necessary to promote reflection and efforts at reconciling the demands and the periods of work with those of the family and to recover the true meaning of the feast, especially on Sunday, the weekly Easter, the day of the Lord and the day of man, the day of the family, of the community and of solidarity."

Getting ready

Characterizing the World Meeting of Families as a "privileged occasion to rethink work and celebration," he affirmed that the event "must connect to an adequate journey of ecclesial and cultural formation" if it is to bear fruit. 

"It is my wish, therefore, that already in the course of 2011, the 30th anniversary of the apostolic exhortation 'Familiaris Consortio,' the great charter of family pastoral care, might be taken as a valid guide with initiatives at the parish, diocesan and national level, aimed at throwing light on experiences of work and celebration in their truest and most positive aspects, with particular regard to the effect on the concrete life of families," he said. "Christian families and ecclesial communities of the whole world should thus feel called and involved and enter solicitously onto the path toward Milan 2012.'"

That is how it all starts! First they call it a family day. Then they will make it illegal to work on that day.

This goes against conscious and the constitution. Nobody should tell us when what day we are to celebrate and what day to consider Holy.

With all respect to those promoting this...we must remember that the separation of church and state is important to prevent the experience of the Dark ages to return.

Iridology continued

...excuse e bumy previous post went thru without finishing.

Iridology is based on the belief that all genetic signs of diseases suffered by our ancestors are reflected in the eye or iris in the form of marks, holes, lines and discolorations.

Any child rhe age of 4 caan be checked and the iris will tell if the person will be a diabetic, suffer asthma or even ADD.

If this turns out to be correct then iridolgy be powerful preventative tool.

Better to prevent than to cure

It is sad when you hear of someone dying that you cared about.

Like I said before life is short.

If there were a way to determine the diseases that you will suffer during your lifetime. Science is trying to uncover genes for every single thing.

But there is a alternative method that proposes to do this. It is alled iridology. Yesb I know many think its quakery and some studies have shown it to not work. But there are many independent studies that have shown the contrary.

Woke up on the right side of the bed!

Well you have heard of waking up in the wrong side of the bed. We all have been there once in a while. But today I woke up in the right side of the bed!

Why! Well I guess my first thoughts were on heavenly and spiritual things.

 

The need of a love and care above what we can get on this earth is felt by all of us at some time or another.  The problem exists when we fill that feeling with the wrong things and thoughts and desires. Many don't know where to go and Who to search for....especially those that for some reason don't want to recognize that there is a God in heaven that loves them.

 

Right in front of me in my home office I have a sign in the wall that kind of expresses what God wants from us:

 

"Good Morning, this is God! I will be handling all your problems today. I will not need your help. So have a good day".

 

We probably can't help God...but we surely can cooperate with Him so that He can do His thing!

75% Can Make a Big Difference

 

Want to decrease you sugar and improve Diabetes? Want to lose 12-20 pounds? Want to stay young? Or just plain healthy?

 

The clue is in one place: Your Plate!

Yes. What you put in your plate is the most important determinating factor for the above things mentioned!

Now I know it is difficult for most people to do a complete change around on their health and diet.

We are addicted to food and don't want to stop eating the things we like.

 

But there is a solution!

 

I call it the 75% difference!

 

What do I mean by that?

Just divide your plate in 75/25 %

 

In the 75% you put all the healthy choices that are high in fiber that will take you to a total of atleast 15-25 grams of fiber.

Put veggies, or fruits, beans, whole grains, salad etc.

 

In the rest of the 25% you can put whatever you like to eat. Of course, don't go over the bandwagon and put something so greasy and damaging to your health. But put something you love to eat in the realms of acceptable.

 

If you follow this basic rule, you will see tremendous improvements in your health. And it will be easier for you to follow a healthy diet for life!

Urinary Tract Infections - The Real Truth

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common type of infections. They can be mild or even debilitating. Keeping you from work or school for many days.

Many propose that Cranberry juice is good. And it is. But mainly for prevention. Not for treating a severe urinary tract infection.

 

Herbal remedies are very effective in stopping urinary tract infections at it's tracks. You just have to recognize the first signs and attack it immediately.

Early signs of urinary tract infections are:

1) Burning urine

2) Urinary frequency

3) Change in color of the urine.

 

If you experience chills and fevers in conjunction with the above symptoms, well then you may already have a full blown UTI.

 

I found this website to be helpful in providing information for chronic urinary tract infections. http://conqueruti.com

I also found these other websites to be helpful also:

 

Mayo Clinic: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/urinary-tract-infection/DS00286

Researchers Determine Nplate Starting Dose For The Treatment Of Low Platelet Levels In MDS - The MDS Beacon

Researchers Determine Nplate Starting Dose For The Treatment Of Low Platelet Levels In MDS

No Comment By Emily Plummer
Published: Oct 26, 2010 11:20 am

A Phase 2 study of Nplate in myelodysplastic syndromes patients resulted in increased platelet levels in patients, independent of dosing schedule and route of administration. However, differences in duration of response and side effects led researchers to recommend under-the-skin injection of 750 μg once weekly as the Nplate starting dose schedule for myelodysplastic syndromes patients.

Low platelet levels (thrombocytopenia) are present in 40 percent to 65 percent of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients.  Low platelet levels are an inherent problem in many MDS patients and can also be caused by MDS treatments.  Low platelet levels are often linked to faster disease progression.

Platelet transfusion, the only available treatment for low platelet levels, is required in 35 percent of low-risk MDS patients. Platelet transfusion is expensive, and potential risks include allergic reaction, infection, lung injury, and alloimmunization, in which the patient gains immunity to the foreign cells and the treatment becomes ineffective.

Researchers are currently investigating the use of platelet growth factors for the treatment of low platelet counts in MDS. Platelet growth factors enhance the production of platelets.

“An effective platelet growth factor would be very important for patients with severe thrombocytopenia,” said Dr. Ronald Paquette from the Ronald Reagan University of California Los Angeles Medical Center.

According to Dr. Mikkael Sekeres, lead author on the study, increasing platelet levels with platelet growth factors will probably reduce some of the morbidity associated with MDS, such as bleeding events, but they will not delay transformation to acute myeloid leukemia.

Nplate (romiplostim) is a platelet growth factor that is currently approved for treatment of low platelet levels in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia.

Previous studies have shown that Nplate is effective in increasing platelet levels in MDS patients. The optimal dose was determined to be 750 μg.

In this study, researchers in the United States and Europe evaluated three different dosing schedules and routes of administration of Nplate in MDS patients with low platelet levels to determine the optimal Nplate dosing schedule.

The Phase 2 study involved 28 low-risk MDS patients with low platelet levels. Each patient received 750 μg of Nplate either once a week as subcutaneous (under the skin) injection, twice a week as subcutaneous injection, or twice a week as intravenous (into a vein) injection for eight weeks.  Patients could opt to continue the Nplate regimen during a year-long extension phase.

Of the 23 patients who completed the study, 57 percent showed a complete platelet response, and 8 percent had a major platelet response.  Sixty-one percent of patients did not require platelet transfusions during the study.

Researchers found that the weekly subcutaneous dosing resulted in a longer duration of response than biweekly dosing.

Most patients (93 percent) reported side effects, with the most common being headache (18 percent) and fatigue (18 percent).

The only instance of a severe treatment-related side effect was a serious allergic reaction in one patient who received the intravenous injection. After switching from intravenous to subcutaneous administration, the patient experienced no further allergic reaction.

Discontinuation of treatment was often due to side effects, but some cases were the result of disease progression.

“The most important advance that can come with romiplostim [Nplate], from the perspective of an MDS patient, is for the drug to get approved by the FDA for the treatment of MDS,” said Dr. Sekeres.

A Mega Advancement In Treating Thrombocytopenia

Posted on: Wednesday, 27 October 2010, 10:00 CDT

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Platelets are cell fragments that circulate in the blood of mammals.  These big, regularly-shaped cells are chiefly involved in hemostasis, a central factor leading to the formation of blood clots.  If the number of platelets is too low, excessive bleeding can occur (thrombocytopenia).  However, if the number of platelets is too high, blood clots can form (thrombosis).

Mortimer Poncz and colleagues, at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, working with mice, have identified a potential new approach to platelet replacement therapy that circumvents the problem of donor shortage.

via redorbit.com

The megakaryocyte is a bone marrow cell responsible for the production of blood thrombocytes (platelets), which are necessary for normal blood clotting. Poncz and colleagues found that mature megakaryocytes that were infused into mice could generate platelets of normal size and function. Accordingly, they are optimistic that it is achievable to treat individuals with thrombocytopenia through mature megakaryocyte infusion, although they estimate that 109 mature megakaryocytes might be needed for an average 70-kg patient.

Andrew Leavitt, at the University of California, San Francisco, notes in an accompanying commentary, that this might be a low estimate. He furthermore discuses why the new data generated by Poncz and colleagues is an imperative step forward in identifying novel approaches to platelet replacement therapy.

Want a Bread That is Nutritious and Help You Lose Weight?

Yes. Most of us believe that eating bread will actually increase body weight. Well of course, if it is bread from the supermarket well definitely. Most breads in the supermarket are
full of chemicals and preservatives. Even those that say "whole wheat". But especially they are usually low in fiber. Fiber is the clue to keeping your weight down. The average american only consumes about 10-15 grams a day which is too too low. A low fiber dietary content decrease the speed in the digestive tract causing you to gain weight.

But what happens if you eat 30-40 grams of fiber a day? Simple. You will lose weight. And it is the only thing you have to be measuring in your diet. Forget about calories. Forget about fat and forget about protein. Find and learn all you need to know about the fiber content of the food you eat and try to eat 15 grams of fiber for each meal and you will lose weight.

What are some of the highest fiber content foods? You guessed right! Fruits, Whole grains, Veggies, Beans. Beans are the best foods to lose weight because they are super high
fiber (navy beans has 10 grams for 1/2 a cup), they are high in protein and low glycemic. Great super foods that boost your weight loss capacity!

Well back to the bread. It is called Ezequiel 4:9 bread. Super high fiber content and also high in protein. You must toasted. But after toasting it tastes great.

Food pH List - Balancing Acid/Alkaline Foods

Balancing Acid/Alkaline Foods

A surprising number and variety of physical problems and diseases can be caused by the problem of foods that are acid-producing after digestion. Today the vast majority of the populace in industrialized nations suffers from problems caused by the stress of acidosis, because both modern lifestyle and diet promote acidification of the body's internal environment. The current typical Western diet is largely composed of acid-forming foods (proteins, cereals, sugars). Alkaline-producing foods such as vegetables are eaten in much smaller quantities. Stimulants like tobacco, coffee, tea, and alcohol are also extremely acidifying. Stress, and physical activity (both insufficient or excessive amounts) also cause acidification. Many foods are alkaline-producing by nature, but manufactured processed foods are mostly acid-producing. It is important to consume at least 60% alkaline-producing foods in our diet, in order to maintain health. We need plenty of fresh fruits and particularly vegetables (alkaline-producing) to balance our necessary protein intake (acid-producing). And we need to avoid processed, sugary or simple-carbohydrate foods, not only because they are acid-producing but also because they raise blood sugar level too quickly (high glycemic index therefore fattening); plus they tend to be nutrient-lacking and may be toxic too. The Alkaline Diet Strategy That Will Work Wonders For You And the best part? You can access this guide for free! You'll learn... To say good-bye to low energy, poor digestion, extra pounds, aches and pains, and disease. To say hello to renewed vigor, mental clarity, better over-all health, and a lean trim body. The key? You health depends on the pH balance of the blood. Which foods are alkaline that boost your energy and heal, and which are acidic. To muscle up your energy levels - 12 perfect foods. To restore your health by creating a balance in your diet that will give you the energy of a child again. To have more energy! Where to find it for energy all afternoon. To boost your alkalinity and lose weight fast - 10 easy tricks. Click Here to Access Now... What is the body's pH? Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the body. The body therefore contains a wide range of solutions, which may be more or less acid. pH (potential of Hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution - the ratio between positively charged ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.) The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is.  The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived the fluid is. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral.  Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic. Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline (7.35 - 7.45). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the body dies. The body therefore continually strives to balance pH. When this balance is compromised many problems can occur. An imbalanced diet high in acidic-producing foods such as animal protein, sugar, caffeine, and processed foods puts pressure on the body's regulating systems to maintain pH neutrality. The extra buffering required can deplete the body of alkaline minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, making the person prone to chronic and degenerative disease. Minerals are borrowed from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage--a condition that may go undetected for years. Health problems caused by acidosis Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So no matter what means you choose to take care of your health, it won't be effective until the pH level is balanced. If your body's pH is not balanced, for example, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Your body pH affects everything. Acidosis will decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. An acidic pH can occur from an acid-forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur. Acidosis can cause such problems as: Cardiovascular damage. Weight gain, obesity and diabetes. Bladder conditions. Kidney stones. Immune deficiency. Acceleration of free radical damage. Hormonal problems. Premature aging. Osteoporosis and joint pain. Aching muscles and lactic acid buildup. Low energy and chronic fatigue. Slow digestion and elimination. Yeast/fungal overgrowth. Lack of energy and fatigue. Lower body temperature. Tendency to get infections. Loss of drive, joy, and enthusiasm. Depressive tendencies. Easily stressed. Pale complexion. Headaches. Inflammation of the corneas and eyelids. Loose and painful teeth. Inflamed, sensitive gums. Mouth and stomach ulcers. Cracks at the corners of the lips. Excess stomach acid. Gastritis. Nails are thin and split easily. Hair looks dull, has split ends, and falls out. Dry skin. Skin easily irritated. Leg cramps and spasms. Test Your Body's Acidity or Alkalinity with pH Strips It is recommended that you test your pH levels to determine if your body's pH needs immediate attention. By using pH test strips (Litmus Paper), you can determine your pH factor quickly and easily in the privacy of your own home. The best time to test your pH is about one hour before a meal and two hours after a meal. Saliva pH Test: Simply wet a piece of Litmus Paper with your saliva. While generally more acidic than blood, salivary pH mirrors the blood and tells us what the body retains. It is a fair indicator of the health of the extracellular fluids and their alkaline mineral reserves. The optimal pH for saliva is 6.4 to 6.8. A reading lower than 6.4 is indicative of insufficient alkaline reserves. After eating, the saliva pH should rise to 7.5 or more. To deviate from an ideal salivary pH for an extended time invites illness. If your saliva stays between 6.5 and 7.5 all day, your body is functioning within a healthy range. Acidosis, an extended time in the acid pH state, can result in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, most cancers and many more.  If salivary pH stays too low, the diet should focus on fruit, vegetables and mineral water as well as remove strong acidifiers such as sodas, whole wheat and red meat. FREE ALKALINE DIET GUIDE & RECIPES Plus the full Acid-Alkaline Food Chart MORE INFO HERE Urine pH Test:  The pH of the urine indicates how the body is working to maintain the proper pH of the blood. The urine reveals the alkaline (building - anabolic) and acid (tearing down - catabolic) metabolic cycles. The pH of urine indicates the efforts of the body via the kidneys, adrenals, lungs and gonads to regulate pH through the buffer salts and hormones. Urine can provide a fairly accurate picture of body chemistry, because the kidneys filter out the buffer salts of pH regulation and provide values based on what the body is eliminating. Urine pH can vary from around 4.5 to 9.0 in extremes, but the ideal range is 6.0 to 7.0. If your urinary pH fluctuates between 6.0 to 6.5 first thing in the morning and between 6.5 and 7.0 in the evening before dinner, your body is functioning within a healthy range. Urine testing may indicate how well your body is excreting acids and assimilating minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These minerals function as "buffers." Buffers are substances that help maintain and balance the body against the introduction of too much acidity or too much alkalinity. Even with the proper amounts of buffers, acid or alkaline levels can become stressful to the body's regulatory systems. When the body produces too many of these acids or alkalis, it must excrete the excess. The urine is the method the body uses to remove any excess acids or alkaline substances that cannot be buffered. If the body's buffering system is overwhelmed, a state of "autointoxication" exists, and attention should be given to reducing this stress. Foods: are they Acid or Alkaline-forming? Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is classified as acid-forming. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally acts to balance your body pH. To maintain health, the diet should consist of at least 60% alkaline forming foods and at most 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.

Keeping the alkalinity and acic balance is the one of the crucial points in maintaining, preventing and curing disease.

Cancer lives in an acid environment as well as any other chronic disease. All types of inflammation is based on an acid environment. If you alkalize you heal. How to alkalize...you have to eat alkaline foods. All fruits and veggies, vegetable juices, green juices, alkaline water, wheat grass are crucial for alkalizing the blood.
All animal products are acid and cause more inflammation, pain and disease.

2010 National Mammography Day

By: Ginger | October 22, 2010 | Category: Health

---

According to healthfinder.gov’s Health Observances page, Oct. 22 is National Mammography Day. On this day, women are encouraged to make an appointment for their annual mammograms. You can take this National Mammography Day Quiz to see how much you know about mammography.

We all have busy lives and let’s face it, getting a mammogram can be uncomfortable and a little embarrassing. It’s no day at the spa, but that doesn’t stop me from getting one every year. I know that it is important to have a mammogram done regularly - mammography is an essential tool for early detection of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent when it is detected early.

Knowing what may contribute to breast cancer is an important part of its prevention.  Risk factors for breast cancer include family and personal history, radiation therapy to the chest for previous cancers, obesity, and certain genetic changes. Being aware of these possible risk factors, as well as maintaining a healthy body weight and balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting regular screenings, may help lower the chances of developing breast cancer.

I am fortunate that breast cancer does not run in my family, but that doesn’t mean I can ignore this important preventative exam.   For a woman with a history of breast cancer in her family, she has to be very vigilant in self breast examinations and getting her mammogram done every year. If she has a daughter or daughters, she needs to teach her daughters to be aware, as well. If you haven’t had your annual mammogram yet, please take the time to schedule your appointment today. It may save your life.

The wife went in yesterday herself for a mammogram but we were a little concerned because she had a small lump underneath her right breast. Well the doctor examined it and he said it was nothing just a built up blackhead or something. We were so relieved after the news because she had an issue last year where she had surgery, but i t wasn't cancerous, Thank God. Excellent post.

How Veterinary Patients might help human patients: a platelet clinical trial

By Beth Davidow, DVM DACVECC

When we discuss transfusions in veterinary medicine, we often talk about red blood cells and plasma but not platelets. Platelets transfusions are tricky and not commonly performed because platelet function is very affected by storage. Platelet concentrate is

The Components of blood can be centrifuged and separated to make various useful products.

made by slowly spinning blood to separate the platelets into the plasma and then spinning the plasma again to sediment the platelets. This concentrated product must be stored at room temperature and must be constantly rocking for the platelets to remain functional. Shelf life is only 5-7 days after production due to the risk of bacterial contamination.

Another reason we often don't do platelet transfusions is that platelets often only last minutes to hours in circulation in patients who have accelerated platelet destruction such as ITP (immune mediated thrombocytopenia). However, if an animal is catastrophically bleeding from the lack of platelets or starts bleeding into the brain, a platelet transfusion may be life saving.

Platelet Concentrate can be used for severe bleeding disorders in some dogs.

Sometimes, in the case of a bleed into the brain, you can't collect fresh whole blood fast enough to use that for platelets, and in these cases, platelet concentrate, if made and readily available, is ideal. In most of our hospitals, however, it is not cost effective to always have platelet concentrate on hand. However, when I visited the human Puget Sound Blood Bank, I was impressed by the full wall of floor to ceiling rocking cabinets full of bags of platelet concentrate.

Veterinary medicine has the opportunity to make a large advance in transfusion medicine, leading the way for an advance in human medicine. A research group in North Carolina has figured out a way to "freeze dry" canine platelets. These platelets come in a small plastic bottle and can be stored for 6 months in the refrigerator. Previous studies have shown that these platelets are functional and safe in canine research subjects (see below references). They are reconstituted by adding saline and can be given over 15-20 minutes.

ACCES is now participating in a multi-center trial run by Animal Blood Resources International, looking at these lyophilized platelets in dogs with thrombocytopenia (very low platelets). The goal is to enroll 100 patients at one of 5 hospitals around the country in order to examine whether these platelets really can stop active bleeding in dogs with platelet problems.

We have currently enrolled 8 patients in the study and we greatly appreciate those veterinarians who have referred patients to us. 6 of the 8 dogs, all of whom had severe active bleeding at admit, have been successfully treated. The study does provide the platelet product at no cost to the client and also pays for two complete blood counts and coagulation profiles.

If your pet has a platelet disorder, please discuss with your veterinarian whether your pet might qualify for this important research study.

Have you ever eaten Quinoa?

Do you know what Quinoa is?

It is a very healthy grain that is high in protein and contains no gluten. So it is good for anyone that needs to avoid wheat.

But even if you are not gluten intolerant you can still eat it. Very tasty. And cooks in minutes.

 

I just ate some today prepared in the form of Tabouli.  Mixed with many vegetables.

Is Love at First Site True! Naaaah

I have had many discuss upon this point with diverse opinions but the truth is: Naaaaaaaah

 

You may be stunned at the first site of an attractive person and think it is love but it really isn't.

Now after having this "stunned" moment if you continue to contact the person and stay in communication and friendship, you may notice that true love may develop ...but after continual communion and connection.

 

This is why there exists so many divorces. Many are guided by this momentary emotion they called "First Love" which after marriage dissappears in a few months.
