It's Really Getting To Be Wintertime? Again?

Someone posted a sign that said if you want to be the richest person around, you just need to start counting your blessings. The earth changes are sure affecting a lot of people all over the world. My heart goes out to them. It is a reminder to all of us how lucky we are in the midst of sometimes not feeling lucky. It has been apparent that when the normal routine gets disrupted that most people become loving towards each other and work together to survive. No matter what life throws at us we have the opportunity to find out all the good stuff to come out of it.

With the winter season coming up soon in the northern hemisphere, we should remember certain things to do that we may otherwise just put aside, such as being sure we have enough vitamin D in our bodies. Vitamin D3, the natural form, is considerably more effective at raising blood levels of D, as opposed to Vitamin D2, the synthetic version. This probably shouldn't surprise you. Vitamin D is known for its ability to help prevent the flu bug. While it may or may not completely eliminate the possibility of getting the flu, it would be a wise choice to make sure you have enough D.

Another very helpful method of avoiding the flu is to make sure you limit your intake of packaged foods, and utilize therapeutic quality essential oils, such as Cinnamon or Clove. You can find true therapeutic quality aromatherapy at this site.

What Is Cholesterol Anyway?

According to mainstream media, cholesterol is public enemy number 1. But is it? Perhaps you, or certainly someone you know, is on at least one cholesterol lowering drug. But let's take at look at cholesterol and see just what it really is, and if it should be lowered in the body.

Cholesterol actually has many essential functions in the body. Cholesterol is found in every cell of your body where it assists in the production of cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help digest fat.

Another major function of cholesterol is to help synthesize vitamin D — the essential vitamin that plays a pivotal role in almost all aspects of our health... it has been credited with boosting immunity, warding off cancer and much more... Too low cholesterol levels will prevent the production of sufficient levels of vitamin D, thus preventing the body from protecting itself from harmful invaders.

Our bodies also use cholesterol to produce virtually all steroid hormones, like oestrogen, testosterone, cortisone, and a host of other vital hormones.

It's also found in your brain where it helps with the formation of memories and is vital for neurological function.

Not only does your body use cholesterol for all these different functions, but it also produces it! That's right, your body makes this stuff because it needs it... only 25 per cent of blood cholesterol comes from food, the rest is produced by your liver and other cells in your body.

This essential life-force, which helps our bodies to function optimally (and heal themselves properly), has been turned into some kind of villain! Mainstream media thrives on promoting drugs to lower cholesterol, but does it truly need to be lowered? My opinion is that the promotion of cholesterol drugs is simply a con game. Read the following story here, by a doctor and see what he says about this issue.

Vitamin D, Fat, &Muscle

A new study shows a clear link between vitamin D levels and the accumulation of fat in muscle tissue—a factor in muscle strength and overall health. An astonishing 59 percent of studied subjects had too little vitamin D in their blood with nearly a quarter of the group exhibiting serious deficiencies. Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for other diseases. The study found an inverse relationship between vitamin D and muscle fat—the lower the levels of vitamin D, the more fat in subjects’ muscles. The study appeared in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, vol. 95 (2010), no. 4, pages 1595 – 1601.”

- Acres U.S.A., September 2010


And I have to add, be sure to have your vitamin D level checked before going on a supplemental binge. Only with supplementation can you overdose on D. ~ Dave

Vitamins And Minerals - What They Are Made Of

I have, for several years, avoided buying vitamins and minerals that are pre-made. Why? Because I read the labels for starters. The labels anymore, nearly always show these products have toxins in them. Which indicates to me these are not put out by any companies other than the greed and control companies, aka, the chemical companies, aka, the pharmaceuticals, or directly related to them. Read the story below, and use that as part of the foundation for whether or not you should buy pre-made vitamins. As you probably know from past postings, I use the bulk foods of Chlorella, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Nettles, and more.

Vitamins And Minerals - What They Are Made Of!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my many years of a Nutritional Consultant I have seen many philosophies and products come and go. I have seen the fads, the cure-alls, and the laziness in all of us that wants a pill to replace a sound nutritional program. Nutritional fads can even be dangerous by consuming large amounts of trace elements that we only need in microscopic amounts, or maybe none at all such as the latest toxic fads of silver and chrome.

I used to prescribe only the best vitamins and minerals to my patients. I knew that these products were in a base of natural ingredients and herbs, but wondered what the actual vitamins and minerals were made out of. I had assumed the were made from food.

All vitamin and mineral supplements currently made are NOT blended foods. In fact most are made from very undesirable, even horrifying substances. If you look on your current bottle of nutrients, it will state it contains many vitamins, minerals, and a long list of no's like starch, wheat, cellulose, soy, lactose etc.

It will even be in a base of herbs but you will notice that it doesn't state what the actual vitamins and minerals are made from. I can tell you right now no one* is grinding up fresh raw vegetables and organic grains to make these pills.

Commercial grade vitamin and mineral concentrates are synthesized by the big pharmaceutical and chemical industries* from the same starting material that drugs are made from (coal tar, petroleum products, animal by-products / waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells and metal).

They are then wholesaled out to the various nutrient manufacturers. The manufacturers are just mixing middlemen. Most of them don't even know how these various vitamins and minerals are made, or from what, nobody asks. Everybody just assumes a vitamin is a vitamin.

After all, The United States Pharmacopeia ( U.S.P. ) states that if a product looks similar under a microscope, or in analysis, that it is the same regardless of what it is made out of.

For instance salicylic acid u.s.p. is considered identical whether it comes from wintergreen leaves or by boiling coal in carbolic and sulfuric acids. It also considers glycerin u.s.p. identical whether it is made from fresh vegetables, toxic minerals or boiled down animal carcasses, cartilage and feet. Does it make a difference to you ?

The Vitamins

Many so called natural vitamins are made from horrible substances. All* the vitamin B-12, cyanocobalamin, on the market is made from either ground up toxic cow livers or activated sewage sludge. These cow livers are overloaded with steroids and antibiotics, and the pesticides the cow assimilates while eating.

The sewage sludge is just that, fecal matter. In today's environment of depressed immune diseases I can think of hundreds of reasons that these materials would be a health risk, not benefit. Just because a so-called natural substance (fecal matter is natural ) is high in a particular vitamin, does that also mean it is a good food ?

Vitamin A from fish liver juices loaded with toxic PCB's and mercury, B vitamins from coal tar and petro-chemicals, known central nervous system depressants, respiratory irritants and carcinogens, Vitamin C from acid blends irritating to the lining of the digestive tract, Vitamin D from radiated oil, Vitamin E from Eastman Kodak, need I say anymore ?

The Minerals

All minerals used in nutrient manufacture are basically dirt. The iron, calcium, zinc etc. are just mined ore, pulverized and powdered to a fine dust. This doesn't make it any easier to assimilate. Some calcium is made from ground up oyster shells.

This reminds me of when I was a kid watching the Three Stooges fix dinner; they would throw the oysters away and try and chew the shells, we all laughed at them and now we are doing the same thing. Modern research shows us that minerals of this type are 99% inassimilable.

The manufacturers response to this is to add pig digestive enzymes, which supposedly pre-digests it or chelates it, in their attempts to force our body to accept this toxic material. Is this practice of chelating minerals really to our benefit or a dangerous act of ignorance ?

We are currently entering a new era of nutrition. It is no longer a matter of how many milligrams you take of a particular nutrient but how much of what you are taking is actually getting into your bloodstream, and the organs that need it. And even more important, what are these vitamins and minerals made from and do they have toxic side effects. If you are like me, and are horrified by this information, then try chlorella, a SUPERFOOD.

Suffering From The Wintertime Blues?

It's not uncommon this time of year, in the northern hemisphere, that a large number of people get depressed. Many will blame this on their finances, their love life, the weather, etc. Is there a way out of this scenerio? Yes.

It is well documented in every health field, that sunlight helps us be in a better mood. As I've said before, sunlight is called the "happy vitamin". Full spectrum lighitng is a powerful adjunct into your less lit wintertime days. And while Vitamin D, that is caused from the skin's reaction to sunlight, is much of what increases the hormones directly related to those emotions, you can also take it internally, or use a tanning bed(a better option). Dr Mercola sells some of these on his site, Mercola.com

And while this is all important for our emotional and physical well-being, I have to add, that happiness is an inside job. In other words, you are happy because you want to be. The same applies if you are sad. From my own personal experience, I found that when I was severely depressed, and not due to a lack of sunlight, I looked within and within seconds I was laughing. And while you may think I may be a little off my rocker, you just may change those thoughts once you do this. Looking within is a form of meditation. Essentially, my spirit told me: "Silly, you are just having a life experience. You are in total control. It is up to you to make it better". And suddenly I was overcome with happiness. It can happen that quickly. And I bet you thought I was trying to sell you something huh? Nope. But this guy in the link below is offering something I believe is too good to pass up, which is why I posted it here.

The majority of Americans see the winter holidays, Christmas in particular, as a time of giving. And receiving. This is part of the wintertime blues. Either someone doesn't have enough money, or believes they don't; or they just don't know what to get someone, or they are procrastinators and wait until the last minute, only to find out they missed the last available store, because it just closed. How to get out of that dilemma?

I make a moderate amount of money writing my blogs, and most of what I make this way, is not because someone is buying something from me. You can learn how to do what I do here. I invite you to check this out. It's not my site, and this guy does know what he's talking about. Even I learned a few pointers from him. I'm always open to learn. How about you? This guy is a master marketer, and he enjoys teaching.

Blogging costs nothing, except a litte time. Learning the proper methodologies is very important though, if you wish to make money at it, which is why I've added the above link to help you out. Enjoy your day, and be careful on the roads.

Beating The Wintertime Blues

In the northern hemisphere, a moderate amount of people get depression in the winter months. While many medical doctors either don't understand or don't wish to tell, actually, the problem is fairly obvious. The lack of sunlight. And while this may not be the entire cause of wintertime depression, it is a major cause.

Sunlight, or the vitamin D gained from sun exposure, has been labeled the Happy Vitamin. I have talked with people who have switched to full spectrum lighting in the winter months, which changed their attitudes. Many times, profoundly for the better.

Since in the northern hemisphere, you are not going to get any real vitamin D from the sun in the winter months, it is a wise choice to get tested by your doctor to see what your "D" levels are, then if need be, take a vitamin D3 supplement. You never want D2, as it is a chemical. Tanning beds can also help give you quality vitamin D.

If you would like more information on vitamin D, and the required needs of the body for this vitamin, visit Dr Mercola's website, and key in "vitamin d" into the search bar. Dr Mercola has been instrumental in getting some very valuable information to the public on this and in many other areas of health. Although I may not always completely agree with him, I do highly endorse him.

And remember, vitamin D3 is very powerful in helping prevent cancers. If you are thinking sunlight causes cancer, you have been misled. Too much sun exposure can "lead" to cancer, it does not CAUSE cancer. And yet, if you consume a food(s) high in carotenes for at least 3 weeks prior to being in the sun, your risk of even getting sunburnt is slim. Chlorella is very potent in preventing sunburn. Buy it in the powdered form, put about a tablespoon in a glass of non-chlorinated water, sip and hold in the mouth for several seconds before swallowing. Holding in the mouth is very important. Here's why:

1. Chlorella is your highest source of vitamin B-12, short of eating raw meat. B-12 is destroyed by stomach acids. It is absorbed rapidly under the tongue.

2. Chlorella is a very high source of protein, which also is absorbed best in the mouth.

3. Chlorella is a very high source of essential fatty acids, which work better when held in the mouth first.

4. Chlorella is an almost perfect food, with all the necessary amino acids, all B vitamins in the proper ratio necessary for human health, is a far better source of calcium than cows milk, and has the magnesium, unlike cows milk, which is necessary to absorb and utilize the calcium. A good information site on Chlorella can be found here.

Does The Sun Cause Cancer?

While being in the direct sun for too long may impose health problems, it does NOT cause cancer. What the overly long exposures will do over a period of time, is destroy nutrients and dry the skin. I had never truly believed the sun could cause cancer. That just wouldn't make logical sense to me. So I went on a quest a few years ago to find the truth. Some of this truth has not been proven until the last 3-5 years. Put the nutrients back into the skin as soon as possible after exposure, such as fresh Aloe Vera, or the therapeutic quality essential oil of Lavender. Both will help.

Being in the sun during the mid section of the day(10am-2pm), is said to be the ONLY time your body can manufacture vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for health, for life. Taking supplementations can cause harm to internal organs, if you are taking too much for too long. The sun does not have this effect.

I invite you to read the story about vitamin D here, of which every part is clinically verified.

Do Flu Shots Actually Work????

We are encouraged, told, demanded of, to get a flu shot each year. And yet....is there any scientific proof these work? Or perhaps better worded, is there any proof they do more good than harm?

I have never had a flu shot, but I did grow up getting sick alot. Not with flu's all that much, most of it was sinus issues, such as colds. I have not had a flu in many years, because now I know full well how to avoid them.

So with the question of "Do Flu Shots Work"? we should look at a compilation of these studies on children first.

In a review of more than 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children it was found there was “no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than placebo. In children over 2 yrs, it was only effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu.
~Reference: Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008)


Not in children with asthma: in a study of 800 children with asthma, one half were vaccinated and the other half did not receive the influenza vaccine. The two groups were compared with respect to clinic visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations for asthma. CONCLUSION: This study failed to provide evidence that the influenza vaccine prevents pediatric asthma exacerbations.
~Reference: “Effectiveness of influenza vaccine for the prevention of asthma exacerbations.” Christly, C. et al. Arch Dis Child. 2004 Aug;89(8):734-5.


Not in children with asthma (2): “The inactivated flu vaccine, Flumist, does not prevent influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially the ones with asthma…In fact, children who get the flu vaccine are more at risk for hospitalization than children who do not get
the vaccine.”

~Reference: The American Thoracic Society’s 105th International Conference, May 15-20, 2009, San Diego


Not in adults: In a review of 48 reports including more than 66,000 adults, “Vaccination of healthy adults only reduced risk of influenza by 6% and reduced the number of missed work days by less than one day (0.16) days. It did not change the number of people needing to go to hospital or take time off work.”
~Reference: “Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 1(2006).


Not in the Elderly: In a review of 64 studies in 98 flu seasons, for elderly people living in nursing homes, flu shots were non-significant for preventing the flu. For the elderly living in the community, vaccines were not (significantly) effective against influenza, ILI or pneumonia.
~Reference: “Vaccines for preventing influenza in the elderly.” The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 3(2006).

So what should a person do? If we cannot rely on the medical system's expertise(?) on keeping us healthy, how do we actually avoid issues like the flu?

These are a few of the methods I use, which work extra-ordinarily well.

1. Get plenty of Vitamin D, without overdosing when taking it as a supplement. Vitamin D is known to prevent the flu. The best source is direct sun, between the hours of 10am-2pm. Notice in the summer time, the only ones who may get the flu are those who do not go outside enough to matter. So far no one apparently has been able to overdose on Vitamin D made from exposure to the sun, and yet, it is possible to overdose on supplementation. Regular testing of Vitamin D in the blood is important.

2. Eat raw natural foods, preferably organic. Why organic? Because organically grown produce should be(this will not always be true) free of genetically modified organisms that Monsanto puts into our food supply without our knowledge or consent. There has been zero safety testing done on genetically modified foods, in any country, that I can find. Organically grown also should be free of pesticides and herbicides; VERY dangerous chemicals that are absorbed into your foods, which in turn, are put into the body, where they tend to remain. Ever wonder how a person becomes toxic? Besides, according to several university studies, organically grown foods have far more nutrients than commercially grown. Or perhaps better said, would be: Organically grown actually has nutrients.

Raw foods have live enzymes, critical to your health. Raw foods will give you more energy, increase your metabolic rate and help you attain the proper weight if desired, allow you to have better attitudes/dreams patterns/skin color and tone/clearer vision/much less candida and fungal issues.

3. Utilize therapeutic quality aromatherapy. Certain essential oils are known by the medical societies of most countries to be extremely valuable, such as Lemon oil, which is known to not only alkalinize the blood, but also increase the white blood cell count to help fight off illness. Lemon oil has different components than Lemon Juice. Either one also has remarkable grease removing properties. Cinnamon Bark oil is a powerful immune stimulant as well, plus it is a circulatory stimulant. This is all completely verifiable if you choose to look it up. Being an Aromatologist, with over 13 years in this field, I have a fairly good understanding of how very valuable the tool of aromatherapy actually is. Pharmaceutical drugs cannot compare to the positive power of therapeutic quality aromatherapies.

4. Avoid dairy when possible, especially pasteurized dairy. It is not good for you, no matter what any dairy industry or government tells you. In my terminology, dairy does NOT include goat milk.

5. Keep a positive attitude. This is far more effective than you might be able to imagine, not only for mental health, but for physical health as well. The more negative ones thoughts, the more likely one is to develop any health issue such as colds and flu.

6. Do meditation. If you don't know how, or what it is, or have scoffed at it in the past, you might give it a shot. Is it going to hurt you? Of course not. What it will do for you, provided you give it the opportunity, is allow you to clear your mind, balance the energies of the body, present insights to you that you may have never thought possible, and in many cases, completely reverse so-called
"irreversible" diseases. If you have doubts about meditation, key into Google:
The Maharishi Effect. This will show you the power of group meditation. Just your own can meditation can do similar.

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?

Drugless Methods To Regain Health

The reason I use no drugs is partly because they are ridiculously priced; they are toxic to any living thing, and they are not designed to get your health back. This is not conjecture on my part; I have done the research into the drug cartel.

If the public knew that most all disease was curable, and they knew they could do it with a few dollars to perhaps a few hundred, the drug cartel would lose trillions of dollars. The drug industry is money driven. Not health driven. Which is why cures like the cures for cancer and AIDS have been suppressed.

So to add a little common sense to the mix of health(and I've said similar before), to regain or maintain health, some tips would be to:

Eat natural foods as much as possible. Meaning raw, and preferably organic.

Leave chemicals alone. Don't buy them, don't use them. You do NOT need them for anything. Chemicals kill.

Citrus foods such as grapefruit and lemon have a component called Limonene, which is known to be anti-cancerous.

Green foods(must be raw) are high in chlorophyll, which adds oxygen to the body. When a disease like cancer hits, lack of oxygen is at the root of the problem. Remember this. There may be a test coming up. Down the road that you may have to answer for yourself, how to get rid of cancer. Many green foods are also very high in a wide variety of nutrients.

Raw foods such as potatoes, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, spinach, radish, etc.; all speed up your metabolism and feed the body crucial enzymes. Want to lose weight? Drink more 'clean' water(no chloride or fluoride), and eat raw foods.

Kelp and many other seaweeds add necessary iodine into the body to help the thyroid. The thyroid is critical to maintaining your health.

Get direct daytime sun as much as possible without burning the skin. Stay away from sunscreen. It is not the sun that causes cancers. It is sunscreen and the chemicals you put on the body after a burn that cause cancer. And I can you you thinking; "of course the sun can cause cancer". I am here to be a little bit in your face and tell you it does not. Let me explain......

Since we know the cause of cancer is always a lack of oxygen to the cells, which in turn prevents nutrients from entering the cells, what does the sun do? Why it dries out the skin of course. Adding sunscreen is harmful in at least three respects.

One is that is suffocates the skin(cancer causing). Another is nearly all of it has chemicals(cancer causing), and the final that I know if is that it prevents most of the absorption of sunlight which allows the body to create vitamin D, the most powerful anti-cancer vitamin known.

So not only are you causing cancer by using sunscreen, you are preventing the body from healing itself by blocking the UV rays which allow the body to manufacture vitamin D. And you may be thinking, "But I will just add vitamin D capsules into the diet". While this may be beneficial, it is not a highly reliable method.

Supplementation of D is not nearly as effective as direct sunlight. And there is a good chance of overdosing on supplementation of that vitamin. This harms parts of your body including the kidneys.

It is rare that overdosing on vitamin D happens while using sunlight as your prime source. If you take supplemental D, it would be best to have your vitamin D levels checked every few months. Most of the health experts agree those levels should be checked about every 3 months.

Therapeutic quality Lavender oil can help alleviate burns and also add essential nutrient back into the skin.
