In many parts of the world, wintertime comes and goes, just like some people's skin rashes. And for many, wintertime is a time for depression. The lack of natural sunlight is the prime cause of depression. Sunlight is considered by many to be the "happy vitamin:. And since we generally cannot get vitamin D from the sun in the winter months, which is much of the reason depression happens in the winter, we should if possible, add full spectrum lighting into our homes and workplaces. Taking oral vitamin D can also help not only this, but vitamin D in general also helps one avoid the flu bug. Beats toxic un-proven vaccines for sure.
The flu shot, or vaccine, is never for the current strain of flu, because no one knows what the current strain is going to be. So the chances of a flu shot being effective are slim at best, and due to the toxic nature of these shots, they are hazaradous in all respects.
Using vitamin D is always helpful, provided of course, you don't take too much. Overdosing on oral vitamin D can be dangerous. So always have your blood tested regularly if you are taking oral supplementations of D. You can also watch the foods you eat. For instance, using spices such as Cinnamon, Oregano and Cloves, can be very helpful, since they are known to kill all known viruses and harmful bacteria.
If you choose something stronger, I suggest using therapeutic quality aromatherapy. Since many people have no idea what this truly is, I'll give a short explanation. Aromatherapy, in its therapeutic state, can be very helpful to the body and mind. Bear in mind, in no way am I stating that these products can cure anything, for this is not true. Nothing can cure you, but you. Using tools to help you cure yourself just gets you there faster. The body is an excellent and very precise machine, and knows exactly how to heal itself. We just need to listen and help it do so. I use therapeutic oils including Lemon, Clove, Peppermint, Oregano, Cinnamon Bark, Frankincense, and combination of blends including Thieves, Purification.
Brunswick Labs, which formulated the ORAC scale for the USDA, which is a rating of the effectiveness, or power, of foods and herbs in their anti-oxidative capacities, show that Clove oil in its therapeutic state, is one of the highest known anti-oxidants, far higher than blueberries, or pomegranite. Brunswick Labs stopped allowing public viewing of their results in 2004. When I contacted them about this, they told me the numbers were being used unscrupulously. Which I had already seen with a company promoting someone else's product line. The higher the ORAC number, the more powerful of an anti-oxidant it is. This site from the USDA lists ORAC numbers for over 200 foods. Clove is not listed, and if it were, it would not show as an overly high number, because Clove oil is far more potent due to its concentration.
I take Clove oil internally, daily. I find it is superb for my needs. I do this by putting between 10 and 20 drops in a 00 capsule. However, you must be warned, that if you attempt this, you must NOT start off with more than about 3 drops. Taking more than 3 drops to start will cause a very rapid increase of waste matter created by killing off bacteria, viruses and fungus. You are very likely to get very sick if you take very much to start. You must work up to the amounts I take, if you want to take this much. Just looking out for you.
Because of what I do with my health, even though I spent the first 40 years of my life being sick way too much of the time, now I do not get sick with anything. No flu. No colds, No pneumonia. Even though therapeutic quality aromtherapy and organic foods are a bit more spendy than commercially grown, they sure beat the cost of things like terminal cancers and dementia, don't they? I'm not saying you cannot get sick eating organic or using aromatherapy. I'm saying your chances of getting sick can be considerably less if you use these. You vote with your dollars. Support your local organic farmers. You need them more than they need you. You just may not realize it yet.
And I recently discovered in my research, that the term "All Natural", used in foods, means essentially nothing. These are just commercial growers and packagers that are using marketing techniques and consumer confucion to sell products at a premium price. "All Natural" generally has pesticides and herbicides, and is generally, just most commercially grown crops, genetically modified. A site that would be wise for the health conscious to read, and shows the "All Natural" connection, is Cornucopia.org.

Finding a way out of cancer
Imagine if you will, that your doctor has just given you a diagnosis of you having cancer. The thoughts that will come to mind can be devastating. And thought is a very powerful tool. Doctors have long known that the diagnosis can kill the patient. So what is a person to do with this diagnosis?
First of all, do NOT panic. The words of "You have cancer" are only words. It is what you believe, that matters most. Most Americans eat very poorly, with fast foods, non-organic foods which tend to have very little in the way of nutrient value, artificial this, that, and the other thing; hydrogenated oils, etc. This being the case, one of the first things you may want to do, is clean up the diet. Stop all candy bars. Stop all refined sugars(sugar feeds cancer like a wildfire out of control). Stop all soft drinks(destroys the blood).
Consume good foods, like fresh ORGANIC produce, high chlorophyl foods, such as Chlorella, Spirulina, raw greens, grapes. And most of all, believe in yourself. Positive thoughts; more specifically, positive feelings, will go a very long ways in determining the outcome if you really do have cancer.
An ebook put out by a medical doctor may be worth your time, on how to get rid of cancers. You can click here to get that book.
The reason I said non-organic foods were not a good method of eating, is because there are few nutrients due to the commercial farming, and Monsanto has destroyed much of the food supply, especially in the U.S., by genetically modifying it. Sadly, the U.S. government, or rather, dictatorship, has almost wholeheartedly approved this attack on humanity. There has been zero safety testing done on genetic foods, and now Monsanto is petitioning to have rice genetically modified with human DNA. I suggest buying all the organic seeds you can get your hands on, while you still can. The human race may be depending on you. I've been saving them for the last couple of years.

Beating The Odds
The American Cancer Society estimates that one person dies of colorectal cancer every 9 minutes. No surprise really, due to the American diet. Colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer in men and third in women.
Ways to help prevent colon cancer include refusing red meat. Why? Because meat in general is very acidic, and red meat is higher in acidic nature than fish, chicken or turkey.
Red meat, unless verifiably organic, also is loaded with chemicals and hormones given to the cattle. But don't get the idea that fish, chicken and turkey are free of these chemicals. Organically grown should be, commercially grown never are free of them.
Chemicals are sprayed on, to help prevent flies and related critters, injected to give as anti-biotics and as hormone enhancers. Plus, these animals are generally eating foods grown on contaminated soil, and then sprayed with more contaminants. Chemicals are never healthy for any living creature.
Four steps you can take to improve your colonic health are:
1. Get more fiber in the diet. Natural fiber direct out of raw foods is best, but supplements will do. Just be sure if you take this in capsule form, they do not have magnesium stearate, or stearic acid as part of the capsule or fiber formula. Very harmful to the health.
2. High quality oils, such as Coconut, Olive, Fish, Flax and Borage are essential for protecting your colon from cancer, and other abnormalities. Several studies have shown that the more fish oil you consume, the better your chance of staying cancer free.
However, be aware that some fish oils have added vitamin A. Too much vitamin A will be a problem, if taken for long. The body can overdose on direct vitamin A. However, it cannot overdose on beta-carotenes, or any carotenes. The body creates the vitamin A from the carotenes as needed.
Too much vitamin A will cause liver toxicity, and a general feeling of disease. Just be aware..
3. Taking probiotics are very helpful, to keep the beneficial bacteria populated in the colon, and to help keep the harmful bacteria in check. Harmful bacteria includes candida, which is always in your digestive tract.
4. Getting enough enzymes is crucial to your digestive health, in fact, your health in general. Any food you consume should also include live enzymes. Canned and cooked foods do not have live enzymes. Enyzmes include Protease, Lipase, Amylase, Lactase, Cellulase, and Invertase.
Vegetarian foods generally help the body keep cancer away, and help if you do have cancer. For instance, Lutein and Zeaxanthin, pigments found in spinach, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots, have been shown to reduce colon cancer. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000)
In 2004, the Journal of Clinical Nutrition, at the UCLA Center For Human Nutrition, found the protective effects of Calcium and vitamin D work(when taken together) to offer some serious protection against colon cancers.
This has been said before in my blogs, but it bears repeating. You should have a minimum of 2 bowel movements per day, and 3 is preferable, to help maintain good health. Considering colon cancer starts in the digestive system, and the digestive system comprises roughly 80% of our immune system, does this not make extremely good sense?

How Does One Avoid The Flu?
If you are concerned about the flu, and about the U.S. governemnts decision to declare a state of emergency for swine flu, there really is not much to fear. Fear is simply a state of mind. Did you know....
The more energy you give a thought, the more likely that thought will come true?
You can think yourself well, and you can think yourself sick?
The sun's effect on the human body causing production of vitamin D within the body, is an extremely powerful flu deterent?(notice flu is generally not an issue in the summer months)
Herbs such as Pau d'Arco, Caprylic Acid, Black Walnut, Oregano, Cloves and Cinnamon all have powerful immune stimulating and anti-candidal effects on the body?
Fermented foods are very important for the digestive systems health, which is where approximately 80% of our immune system resides?
If you live life with a positive attitude, stay focused, eat as healthy a diet as you know how and can, and keep the harmful and beneficial bacteria in the digestive system in check, your body and mind will thank you. All you have to do is listen to it, and be grateful.
A very effective method of getting positive and keeping positive, is to be around positive people and turn OFF mainstream media.
One food that is said that the Chinese people who reside near the Mongolian River who consume Wolfberry(aka, Goji or Lycium berry), never get disease. Not sometimes.....never. Goji is a colloquial name for Lycium, commonly called Wolfberry. This food is considered a perfect food, with far more vitamin C than oranges, more useable protein than beef, and more carotene than carrots. You can find this food for the least cost, in organic form, here. Wolfberry, as a food, is also the highest known anti-oxidant. There are other, much higher anti-oxidants, but those are in therapeutic quality essential oils, and the mushroom Chaga.

The Herb Turmeric
This Potent Spice Taken as Little as Once a Week Can Fight Dementia
Curry spice, turmeric, curcumin. New research shows that eating curry once or twice a week could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The key reason is curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric.
Curcumin prevents the spread of amyloid protein plaques, which are thought to cause dementia. Amyloid plaques, along with tangles of nerve fibers, contribute to the degradation of the wiring in brain cells.
There is evidence that people who eat a curry meal two or three times a week have a lower risk of dementia. Researchers are currently testing the impact of higher doses, such as the equivalent of going on a curry spree for a week, to see if they can maximize the effect.

Dr. Mercola's Comments( http://www.mercola.com )
I know many outstanding clinicians and health experts and it is amazing how the vast majority of them are in complete agreement that the active ingredient of turmeric, curcumin, the pigment that gives spicy turmeric its yellow-orange color, may be one of the most useful spices for health out there.
For years now turmeric, with its active ingredient curcumin, has shown powerful benefits to your brain health. One of the ways that it works, similar to vitamin D, is modulating large numbers of your genes.
The potential healing power of this spice, which is an important part of Eastern cultural traditions including traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, perhaps first came about when it was noticed that the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease among older adults in India is more than four times less than the rate in the United States.
Why such a significant difference?
Some researchers believe the answer for this drastic disparity in Alzheimer's patients is a direct result of curcumin.
The researchers in this most recent study said curcumin appears to prevent the spread of amyloid protein plaques, which are thought to cause dementia in your brain.
In 2004, meanwhile, a study involving genetically engineered mice suggested that curcumin could inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids -- a component of the neurofibrillary tangles and plaques attributed to Alzheimer's disease -- in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques.
Based on the findings, researchers determined:
• Curcumin is more effective in inhibiting the formation of the protein fragments than many other potential Alzheimer's treatments
• The low molecular weight and polar structure of curcumin allows it to penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively and bind to beta amyloid
• Alzheimer's symptoms caused by inflammation and oxidation are eased by curcumin's powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
It seems, too, that even eating curry just a couple of times a year may offer some benefit. In one study that tested the brain power of more than 1,000 Asian people, those who ate curry even just once every six months had better results than those who said they "never or rarely" ate it!
Further, UCLA researchers tested the effect of curcumin on isolated cells called macrophages (part of your body's immune system that eliminates waste products like the disease-causing amyloid beta) in blood samples taken from a half-dozen Alzheimer's patients for a day.
The blood samples from three Alzheimer's patients improved dramatically after being treated with curcumin, improving the digestion of the amyloid beta cells by the macrophages, present from birth in your body's innate immune system.
One important fact: Blood samples from younger patients responded better to curcumin, meaning the earlier Alzheimer's is recognized, the better the curry chemical appears to work.
“Holy Powder’s” Benefits Reach Far Beyond Your Brain
People in India refer to turmeric as “holy powder” because it has such a broad range of health effects. In fact, curcumin has been shown to influence more than 700 genes, with benefits that include:
• Strengthening and improving your digestion
• Supporting healthy liver function and detoxification
• Purifying your blood
• Fighting cancer and arthritis
• Anti-inflammatory properties
Further, evidence suggests turmeric may play a beneficial role in the following diseases:
• Cystic fibrosis
• Type 2 diabetes
• Crohn’s disease
• Psoriasis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Cataracts
• Gallstones
• Muscle regeneration
• Inflammatory bowel disease
To take advantage of some of these benefits you can absolutely use turmeric in your cooking, and in case you haven’t tried it, it has a warm, peppery flavor. However, be sure to choose a pure turmeric powder rather than a curry powder, as at least one study has found curry powders tend to contain very little curcumin compared to turmeric powder.
Be sure to listen to your body as always. If you love curry then feel free to indulge in it often. But if turmeric is a spice you do not enjoy it may be a sign that it’s not right for your body. If you are not one who enjoys the flavor of curry, you can also get the benefits of turmeric by taking it in a high-quality, organic supplement form.
Ten Important Ways to Avoid the Coming Alzheimer’s Epidemic
By 2010 there will be 500,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed each year, so NOW is the time to start taking action. Fortunately, your lifestyle can make a major difference in your risk of this disease. The tips that follow will bolster your brain health and keep your mind in top working order even as you get older.
1. Optimize your vitamin D levels through safe sun exposure, a safe tanning bed and/or vitamin D supplements.
2. Eat a nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables based on your nutritional type, and pay special attention to avoiding sugar.
3. Eat plenty of high-quality, animal-based omega-3 fats in the form of krill oil. Avoid most fish (high in omega-3, but often contaminated with mercury).
4. Avoid and remove mercury from your body. Dental amalgam fillings are one of the major sources of mercury, however you should be healthy prior to having them removed. Once you have adjusted to following the diet described in Take Control of Your Health, you can follow the mercury detox protocol and then find a qualified biological dentist to have your amalgams removed.
(Be sure to only use a high-quality biologically trained dentist who is familiar with the removal of amalgam fillings or your health could get ruined.)
5. Avoid aluminum, such as in antiperspirants, cookware, etc.
6. Exercise for three to five hours per week. According to one study, the odds of developing Alzheimer's were nearly quadrupled in people who were less active during their leisure time, between the ages of 20 and 60, compared with their peers.
7. Avoid flu vaccinations as they contain both mercury and aluminum!
8. Wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content, are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
9. Challenge your mind daily. Mental stimulation, such as traveling, learning to play an instrument or doing crossword puzzles, is associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer's. Researchers suspect that mental challenge helps to build up your brain, making it less susceptible to the lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease.
10. Avoid fluoride, which is another powerful neurotoxin. The most common sources would be in your water and toothpaste. But it is also a part of some antibiotics (like Cipro), soy protein, and pesticides, so seek to have as much of your food organically grown as possible.

30 Ways you Can Poison Yourself Before Breakfast
Or...Why Some People Feel Bad, Get sick, even die!
Preference: The Politics of Poison by Nina G. Silver, Ph. D., 2000,
government agencies, and medical institutions, and product Manufactures
If a product has a warning on the label, it is poison! “What is the cumulative effect on our health
after using many, many products that contain small amounts of dangerous poisonous chemicals?”
Spending every night breathing vapors from chemical poisons in the mattress or pillow and sleeping between sheets washed in poison, a typical U.S. male might start the day grooming with a shower, shave, and using colognes in an enclosed area using products containing poisonous ingredients; he then dresses with clothes washed in poison.
According to the U.S. Government and the product manufactures, the following is only a partial list chemical poisons found in personal care products, not common household cleaners, that are inhaled and absorbed by the body before you even eat breakfast! “Do you think these poisons might also cause our children to have health problems?”
*Bacterial products contain poisonous pesticides and
fungicides as ingredients that create more serious health risks.
When using common household cleaners in the shower, on mirrors, toilet, etc., you inhale and absorb a whole new range of poisonous chemicals that can damage the organs, eyes, central nervous and respiratory systems.
Day after day, week after week, year after year, people may be unaware they are being exposed to numerous poisonous chemicals found in common, everyday household and personal care products. By themselves there is a reason for concern, but when you combine them in your body, there is reason to worry.

If a product has a warning on the label, it is poison! “What is the cumulative effect on our health
after using many, many products that contain small amounts of dangerous poisonous chemicals?”
Spending every night breathing vapors from chemical poisons in the mattress or pillow and sleeping between sheets washed in poison, a typical U.S. male might start the day grooming with a shower, shave, and using colognes in an enclosed area using products containing poisonous ingredients; he then dresses with clothes washed in poison.

Brewers Yeast
If brewer's yeast is not now a part of your daily nutritional habit, perhaps it ought to be.
The microscopic plant, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae--commonly referred to as Brewer's Yeast--is nutritionally superior to all other types of yeast. It is one of the best natural sources of the entire B-vitamin Complex. It is a superb source of concentrated protein, including ALL the essential amino acids.
It is extraordinarily rich in nucleic acid, which is a basic element in cell development and is believed to retard to the aging process. It is the best nutritional source of chromium that occurs in Brewer's Yeast in an organic compound known as GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor). This vital factor is found in few other foods and is essential for the production of effective insulin, without which the body cannot properly handle glucose, its major fuel. Hypoglycemia results when the blood sugar level rapidly shoots upward, followed by a rapid release of insulin which, in mm, overshoots the mark and drives the bloods sugar too low. The role of GTF is to moderate insulin activity--first by potentiating the circulating insulin and then by reducing the amount required to be released.
As if this were not enough, Brewer's Yeast is also rich in selenium, potassium and many other factors too numerous to mention--all in the most available form for immediate use by the body.

The scoop on blueberries
Actually, there is a bit more than just this small amount of information here to endorse eating this great fruit. Perhaps another time though. No point in making anyone read for 3 hours!
“USDA and Rutgers University scientists teamed up to grow and study the Bluecrop variety of highbush blueberries on five organic and conventional farms in New Jersey.
The farms had comparable soils and weather conditions, and the same harvesting methods were used. Consistent and significant differences in nutrient content were discovered by the researchers.
The organic blueberries had 46 units of total antioxidant capacity while the conventional berries contained 31. The organic blueberries therefore had over 50 percent more total antioxidant activity. Also, ‘blueberries produced from organic culture contained significantly higher amounts of phytonutrients than those produced from conventional culture,’ stated the report’s authors.
The study, ‘Fruit Quality, Antioxidant Capacity, and Flavonoid Content of Organically and Conventionally Grown Blueberries’, by S.H. Wang, et al., appeared in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.”
Acres USA, September 2008
Great reasons to eat your fruit. Besides that, blueberries taste very good. At least, I believe so. You can find blueberry powder here if you'd like to have some. You can find numerous research studies online showing the difference between organically grown and commercially grown produce. That information may just shock you, when you realize the commercially grown produce has very little nutrient value, when compared to organic. If you have to ask why this should make a difference, we need to talk.
