Do you know that eight out of every 10 coronary bypass surgeries are done on patients who likely WON’T benefit? What a RIP-OFF!
Why such abuse? Because a coronary bypass graft costs more than $60,000—and that’s a quick way for a heart surgeon to get a new Mercedes or pay for his kid’s college tuition.
But it’s time you knew the truth about today’s popular heart treatments—the truth that’s being suppressed. Plus, you’ll discover new natural secrets for reversing heart disease such as…

“It Was Learned Today…”
Monday, April 9th, 2012(Editorial, from the Imagination of John Lennon, R.I.P., as posted in a dream…)
* * * * * * *
“It was learned today, from outside Sources, that a Federal Judge has struck down all state laws pertaining to ‘Carry’ laws regarding firearms. In the decision, it was stated that all laws of this nature violate the Preamble to the Constitution, and that this overrides the 2nd Amendment, which was hijacked by the National Rifle Association and the Firearms Industry, for political gain.
“In the statement, it was stated that any and all Legislators, Executives, and Members of the Judiciary, who had previously enacted such legislation, were complicit, and therefore accessories to, any ramification of criminal activity resulting from said legislation, and will be prosecuted as co-conspirators in any and all crimes resulting from the use of firearms. Further, these elected/appointed officials, will be recalled or impeached for violations of their sacred oaths of office, and summarily incarcerated without bond, pending litigation.
” The statement also condemned the National Rifle Association as a Domestic Terrorist group, and decried all firearms manufacturers as detrimental to the General Welfare, as stated in the Preamble.
“Any and all firearms owners who do not surrender their firearms (Pistols are primary concern, along with weapons capable of fully automatic operation, or capable of being modified to fully automatic operation) will be required to disable them so that they may never be modified, repaired, or re-enabled. Hunting weaponry will be exempted, and the range of firearms will be strictly limited; the limitations will be enforced. Those not in compliance will be arrested and tried as Domestic Terrorists.
” Police and Military will have full access to any necessary tools, including weaponry, to conduct the performance of their duties in as humane, efficient, and professional a manner as possible; abuse of these powers can lead to dismissal, and prosecution under the Domestic Terrorism Laws.
“Any unregistered weaponry will be immediately confiscated, the owners arrested and prosecuted under Domestic Terrorism Laws.
“Those weapons which are registered for legitimate function will remain in the possession of their rightful owners; those owners will be strongly encouraged to participate in Firearms Training, conducted by career Trainers, with background in Military Firearms Usage. Those who choose not to participate must demonstrate proficiency with care and maintenance of their firearm.
“This opinion will go unchallenged, as the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America has been presented as a Guideline:
“We, the People of the United States of America, in order to form a More Perfect Union, Establish Justice, Insure Domestic Tranquility, provide for the Common Defense, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity, do Ordain and Establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Dry Brushing Offers Powerful Detoxification
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
The skin is the body’s largest organ of elimination. Your skin is able to eliminate as much as one-fourth of the total toxins that your body filters out–up to 2 pounds of waste each day! But in order for your skin to do its job, it needs to be kept healthy and uncongested. That’s why health experts recommend a very simple technique called dry brushing. It involves the use of a soft natural bristle brush to gently remove dead skin cells.
Dr. Gloria Gilbère, a renowned natural health practitioner, explains the value of dry brushing this way: “[With] today’s sedentary life-style, general lack of exercise, and use of antiperspirants … toxins and metabolic waste products become trapped in the body instead of being released with sweat.” Dry brushing stimulates the sweat glands and exfoliates the skin.

Ever wonder why that block of cheddar is bright orange?
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
By Katherine Engqvist | Chatelaine – Mon, 26 Mar, 2012
Here’s a little food for thought today. . .
Have you ever wondered why cheddar cheese in North America is orange but in Europe and other places around the world it’s a whitish colour?
That’s because in North America some cheese is dyed to make it look more appealing. Cheese isn’t the only thing artificial dyes are added to and often these additives found in Canada and the United States are banned in other countries around the world.
Take tartrazine or more commonly known as Yellow No. 5. It’s banned in Norway and Austria but in North America it is often found in foods marketed towards children such as candy, ice cream, and soft drinks. But it’s not just found in food, tartrazine is also found in prescription drugs and cosmetics.
So why all the fuss?
A study published in The Lancet, a leading medical journal, found that artificial colours and/or a sodium benzoate preservative cause hyperactivity in children. As reported by CBC, it also contains more salt than the body can take as well as being linked to asthma, skin rashes and migraines.
Tartrazine isn’t the only additive that’s banned in other countries but can still be found in Canada. Colours like Allura Red (banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Norway) and Sunset Yellow (banned in Norway and Finland) are among a list of additives that can be found in the Canadian food system (as reported by the CBC).
What Is Your Allergy?

I Have an Allergy -- To Interruptions!!
Alice Marson BS MS
Food allergies and food sensitivities (also referred to as intolerances) are terms often used interchangeably. Factually, a food allergy is a measurable immune response to a normally harmless food. True food allergies refer to foods that trigger the immune system to acutely produce massive amounts of chemical histamine that leads to anaphylaxis. This potentially fatal condition causes the throat and esophagus to swell, cutting off air from the lungs, or it may simply cause hives, skin rashes, and other non-threatening reactions. Usual allergic symptoms, may include headache, itchy skin, hives, lip swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, wheezing, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and swelling of airways to lungs. More often, allergic reactions, common to many, either food or environmental, for the most part, are merely annoying and they involve reactions like sneezing, itching, watering eyes and hives. However, if you experience breathing difficulties or develop hives that spread rapidly, get emergency help at once. (more…)
6 of the Healthiest Fish to Eat (and 6 to Avoid)
Friday, February 24th, 2012
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D. | EatingWell – Thu, 23 Feb, 2012
You probably already know that you’re supposed to be eating fish twice a week. Fish are a lean, healthy source of protein-and the oily kinds, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, etc.-deliver those heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 fats you’ve probably also heard you should be getting in your diet.
But then there’s also this concern about sustainability-and choosing seafood that’s sustainable.
So, if you’re like me, you often stand at the fish counter a little perplexed: what’s good for me and the planet?
Fortunately, Seafood Watch, the program run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, has combined data from leading health organizations and environmental groups to come up with their list “Super Green: Best of the Best” of seafood that’s good for you and good for the environment.
To make the list, last updated in 2010, fish must: a) have low levels of contaminants-below 216 parts per billion [ppb] mercury and 11 ppb PCBs; b) be high in health-promoting omega-3 fats; and c) come from a sustainable fishery.
Many other options are on the program’s list of “Best Choices” (seafoodwatch.org). The Blue Ocean Institute (blueocean.org) also has sustainability ratings and detailed information.

The Top 5 Osteoporosis Lies

Words can – and do – make a big difference. Perhaps the use of the word “lies” in today’s blog post title may sound a bit harsh to you. In fact, at first I wrote “myths” instead, but I soon realized that it didn’t apply.
As defined by the online dictionary, a myth is “an unfounded or false notion.” A lie is “something meant to deceive or give a wrong impression.” Notice the subtle difference between the two. Myths are not created with a specific purpose; they simply spring up and innocently continue into the future. And myths typically develop over a long period of time, passed on from generation to generation. On the other hand, lies have a purpose, they are invented to fulfill an agenda. As the definition states, lies are “meant to deceive.”
Once you’ll read what’s coming up next, I’m pretty sure you’ll agree with me: it is perfectly warranted to use the word “lies” instead of “myths”.
Let’s take a look now at the top five osteoporosis lies. (more…)

America has a drinking problem. No, not booze. I’m talking about soft drinks. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the average American guzzles 44.7 gallons of the sweet stuff every year. Not sure what 44.7 gallons looks like? It’s about what you’d need to fill a small kiddie pool.
But the truth is, you don’t need me to tell you that soda isn’t healthy. We all know that America’s drink of choice contributes to our country’s ever-expanding obesity problem. But, as Rodale.com writer Leah Zerbe discovered, love handles are just the beginning. Read on for her report on three shocking soda facts that will have you saying “Just water, please” from now on.

Shopping List of Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Anti-inflammatory foods may help you reduce inflammation. The symptoms of inflammation include swelling, redness and pain.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
An anti-inflammatory diet focuses on foods that help your body create the right kind of prostaglandins, or hormones that help the body regulate inflammation. In part, you want to eat foods that have the right types of fat so that your body will make anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and avoid the foods that have fat that leads to the production of inflammatory prostaglandins.
Good Anti-Inflammatory Foods
You will want to eat foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, an acid that is important to your health that your body is incapable of manufacturing. Not only can foods that have omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, these foods may help reduce the risks of developing heart disease, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. Foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids include:
- Salmon
- Trout
- Albacore tuna
- Walnuts
- Brazil nuts
- Almonds
Wild fish tends to have more omega-3 fatty acids than do farm raised fish.
In addition, look for foods that have high levels of vitamins A, C and E. There are many foods that are good sources of these vitamins, including:
- Garbanzo beans
- Brown rice
- Lentils
- Broccoli
- Cantaloupe
- Tomatoes
- Spinach
- Sweet potatoes
- Carrots
- Peaches
- Strawberries
Where would foods be without spices? Anti-inflammatory spices can add “zing” to your meals. Experiment with spices including:
- Cinnamon
- Rosemary
- Mint
- Basil
- Cloves
- Ginger
- Turmeric
- Parsley
- Oregano
If you use oils, focus on extra virgin olive oil.
Try to avoid eating processed foods as much as possible as processed foods contain polyunsaturated and partly hydrogenated fats, a big no-no as far as inflammation and your health overall.
An anti-inflammatory diet is basically a healthy, low fat diet. Not only might you feel fewer aches and pains if you include more of these foods in your meals, you may also lose weight
The Germiest Places

Eighty percent of infections are spread through hand contact. After you touch a germ-infected object you have the germ

on your hand, and then you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, and you then acquire the germ.
The germiest places in America are not where you might think. They are not restricted to public restrooms, toilet seats, and grungy bus seats—-many are right in your own home.
The following are only 10 of the germiest things:
ATM buttons-Chinese researchers found that each ATM key they tested contained an average of 1200 germs.
Ladies’ purses-your purse goes everywhere with you and gets plunked down on the floor, on countertops and on countless other surfaces. Dr. Charles Gerba, PhD, a professor of environmental microbiology at University of Arizona and his team found that most purses had tens of thousands of bacteria on the bottom. Some had millions.

Talk about an image makeover: First prunes got a new name (they’re dried plums, if you please), and now it seems they offer a previously unrecognized benefit: They’re good for your bones. In fact, says nutrition researcher Bahram H. Arjmandi, RD, at Florida State University, midlife women who ate ten prunes daily for a year slowed their bone loss substantially. If ten sounds daunting, even three a day can make a difference, says Arjmandi, who adds that prunes are the most bone-friendly fruit he’s seen in decades of study. Since women can lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass in the seven years after menopause, that’s good news.
It’s especially welcome because hopes for a different natural fix were recently dashed. Soy supplements did nothing for bones in menopausal women who took a hefty dose for two years. (The supplements didn’t cool hot flashes either.) So eat tofu if you like it, but for your bones’ sake, start snacking on prunes. Unless the thought makes you feel old. In that case, have some dried plums.
