Painkiller Study Helps Tackle National Problem of Legal Drug Addiction</h2>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
The war against illegal drug use has been going on for decades, but now it seems the “war on drugs” should have a new target… <em>Legal</em> drug addiction is taking lives in record numbers.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
In the UK, 1 million people are addicted to over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription painkillers and tranquilizers; that’s significantly more than the number addicted to illegal drugs.<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
In the US, it’s a similar story. There were four times more deaths among women from prescription painkiller overdose than for cocaine and heroin deaths combined in 2010.<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn2" name="_ednref2" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Legal drug addiction is tricky because it often starts out with a prescription obtained from a doctor. Many people find themselves addicted to painkillers before they even realize what’s happened, often after taking the drugs to recover from surgery or treat chronic back, or other, pain.</div>
<h2 style="background-image: none; color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Three Factors That Might Increase Your Risk of Becoming Addicted to Painkillers</h2>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Painkillers work by interacting with receptors in your brain resulting in a decrease in the perception of pain. They are inherently addictive, as they also create a temporary feeling of euphoria, followed by dysphoria, that can easily lead to physical dependence and addiction. However, why certain people become addicted while others get by unfazed has remained a mystery.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Researchers from the University of Derby set out to determine what might be influencing painkiller addiction and dependence by conducting an anonymous survey of people who had pain and had used painkillers in the last month. They found three predictors that they said identified those most at risk of developing painkiller dependence. It included those who:<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn3" name="_ednref3" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>

</ul>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
According to the authors, pain, prior substance abuse and psychological factors may all play a role in a person’s likelihood of addiction. They concluded:</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; clear: both; color: #1b1b1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 17px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 17px;">
<div style="font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<em>“</em><em>Based on these findings, a preliminary model is presented with three types of influence on the development of painkiller dependence: 1) pain leading to painkiller use, 2) risk factors for substance-related problems irrespective of pain, and 3) psychological factors related to pain.”</em></div>

Painkiller Addiction Knows No Bounds</h2>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
The face of drug addiction in the US and around the globe is changing. You can certainly not gauge who is an addict by looks or occupation. In fact, painkiller addiction spans all ages and walks of life.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
For instance, a significant number of older adults, particularly those in the baby boomer generation, are struggling with both illicit and prescription drug abuse.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that the number of people in their 50s who are abusing illicit or prescription drugs more than doubled from 2002 to 2010, going from 2.7 to 5.8 percent in this population. Among those 65 and older, 414,000 used such drugs in 2010.<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn4" name="_ednref4" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Among seniors, the health risks of all medications are increased, because the body takes longer to break down and get rid of the drug than it does in a younger person. As a result, the drug stays in an older person’s system longer, where it can cause even greater damage.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
At the other end of the spectrum, one in four teens has misused a prescription drug at least once in their lifetime, according to survey results from the partnership at Drugfree.org and the MetLife Foundation. Prescription drugs don’t hold the same stigma as illegal recreational drugs, even though they can be just as deadly, leading teens to regard the former as a “safe” way to get high.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Prescription drugs have even been described by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy as the “drug of choice” second only to marijuana for today’s teens.<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn6" name="_ednref6" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Sadly, some teens pay for this one “bad” decision with their lives. Drug fatalities more than doubled among teens and young adults between 2000 and 2008, and these drug-induced fatalities are not being driven by illegal street drugs. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the most commonly abused prescription drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax, and Soma now cause more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn7" name="_ednref7" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
And while men are still more likely to die from prescription painkiller overdose, women are quickly catching up. More than 6,600 women, or 18 women every day, died from a prescription painkiller overdose in 2010. The problem, once primarily seen in inner cities, is now spanning to rural areas, hitting people of all ethnic backgrounds and income levels, from business professionals to single mothers to retirees.</div>
<h2 style="background-image: none; color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Painkiller Addiction Can Easily Lead to Death</h2>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Painkillers (opioids) like morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl are one of the most commonly abused drug classes. These drugs are not only addictive, they can lead to slowed breathing and death if too much is taken, and the risks are compounded if you add alcohol to the equation.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
Many are not aware that pain-killing drugs like fentanyl are actually <em>100 times more potent</em> than natural opioids like morphine, making the addictive potential and side effects associated with prescription drug use much higher. And it doesn’t always take extremely excessive use, or even very long-term use, to have a fatal overdose.</div>
<div style="color: #1b1b1b; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
For many, once you start taking these drugs it sets off a cascade of reactions in your body that make it extremely difficult to stop. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital and CNN’s chief medical correspondent, reported:<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn8" name="_ednref8" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; clear: both; color: #1b1b1b; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 17px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 17px;">
<div style="font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<em>“…after just a few months of taking the pills, something starts to change in the body. The effectiveness wears off, and patients typically report getting only about 30% pain relief, compared with when they started. Even more concerning, a subgroup of these patients develop a condition known as hyperalgesia, an increased sensitivity to pain.</em></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;">
<em>As you might guess, all of this creates a situation where the person starts to take more and more pills. And even though they are no longer providing much pain relief, they can still diminish the body’s drive to breathe. If you are awake you may not notice it, but if you fall asleep with too many of these pills in your system, you never wake up. Add alcohol, and the problem is exponentially worse. People who take pain or sleeping pills and drink a couple glasses of wine are playing Russian roulette.”</em></div>

Because such overdoses now kill more people than cocaine and heroin <em>combined</em>, more US states are now taking action to try and stop this growing problem. As <em>USA Today</em> reported:<a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/23/painkiller-addiction.aspx#_edn9" name="_ednref9" style="color: #39660a;" title=""><br /></a></div>

Glycan signals were at work even before the sperm fertilized the egg. The intimate communication, the very first touch, begins the process to make a new human being. The DNA blueprint contributed from each parent will be read, translated, merged, and transcribed into every new cell. Instantly, the process starts that will continue, not only until birth but for life and for generations yet to be born.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The glycan (sugar coating) on the sperm and the egg forms the Operating System (OS). In the split second when the sperm hits the egg, the tiny antennae on the egg, signals to all other sperm, "I'm taken. Go away."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Glycosylation is how LIFE is given to the cell and to the human body. Remove the glycans, the glycoprotein receptor sites, from the cell and the cell is dead.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
We have known and studied this science for two decades and now medical scientific community world-wide understands that this paramount discovery of glycobiology will change the world of healthcare. Measuring these life giving receptor sites is the ultimate frontier of the life sciences.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
If you are a healthy individual, you probably have somewhere around 800,000 antennae on each of your some 70 trillion cells. When you get up close to these sugar chains, you begin to understand why glycomics is thousands of time more complex than the human genome project.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When we are able to analyze the health of these glycoproteins, we will be able to diagnose and know what the health of that individual will be months and even years down the road.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
All scientific bodies world-wide agree this soon coming diagnostics will be the Holy Grail of medicine and all healthcare.</div>

Glycobiology has provided me with the firsthand experience of witnessing the three phases of truth. Initially truth is denied. In the eighties and early nineties, the medical community scoffed at the possibilities of sugars doing anything but supplying energy to the body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Secondly, truth is violently attacked if it is not understood. And, glycoscience was not under-stood. Thirdly, truth is accepted as self-evident.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Ajit Varki, head of Glycobiology Research at the University of California San Diego, said, "It's like we've just discovered the continent of North America. Now we have to send out scouting parties to find out how big it is... "</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
DNA may help us understand about 30% of the health propensity of a person. The glycans may help us understand about 70% of the health propensity of that same individual. The 30%/70% rule of nature and nurture seems to be right for the current health conditions of most people. Diagnosing both the genes and the glycoproteins will provide the ultimate to determine in advance what should be done to improve health.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This coming diagnostics is how we can address the important instead of waiting to address the urgent.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Glycan diagnostics can potentially save trillions of dollars in healthcare costs and allow the individual to be more in charge of his or her future health.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Women who drink just one glass of wine a day in their teens and early twenties could be increasing their risk of breast cancer by a third.</div>

Scientists have found that consuming fairly small amounts of alcohol early on in life has harmful effects on breast tissue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Those who drank the equivalent of one glass of wine a day between the age of their first period and when they gave birth to their first child increased their risk by a third.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
US researchers believe that the breast tissue of young women, which is still developing, is highly susceptible to the harmful effects of alcohol.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Although experts have known for some time that alcohol raises the risk of breast cancer, this is one of the first studies to show how it can have an effect so early in life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis examined the drinking habits of 116,671 women aged 25 to 44.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
They were asked to recall how much alcohol they drank a day from the ages of 15 to 17, 18 to 22, and 23 to 30.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
They were also told to note down the age when they first started their periods and when or if they gave birth to their first child as pregnancy is known to protect against breast cancer. It was also recorded whether they had ever been diagnosed with the condition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
From their answers, the researchers were able to work out roughly how much alcohol the women had drunk per day over the various stages of their lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The results showed that women who drank a glass of wine a day between their first period and the age at which they had their first child increased their risk of breast cancer by 34 per cent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
When alcohol is broken down by the body it creates a substance called acetaldehyde, which can trigger genetic mutations in cells that lead to tumours.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
It also increases production of oestrogen, the hormone linked to tumour growth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
The researchers, whose study is published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, said: ‘These findings add support to the importance of exposure [to alcohol] between menarche [the first period] and first pregnancy in breast cancer development.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
‘Reducing alcohol consumption during this period may be an effective prevention strategy for breast cancer.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Richard Francis, head of research at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said the link was likely to be caused by breast tissue being particularly susceptible to developing cancer between these key ages.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
‘We recommend that women of all ages reduce their alcohol intake in order to help prevent breast cancer,’ he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
‘Regularly drinking is also associated with a range of other health problems, so we’d urge anyone wanting advice or support on cutting down on alcohol to speak with their doctor.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Just under 50,000 British women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and there are around 11,500 deaths annually.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
But there is growing evidence that women can drastically lower their risk by adopting healthier lifestyles.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Smoking, obesity, a lack of exercise as well as alcohol are all thought to trigger the illness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">
Earlier this year scientists warned that excess drinking was behind soaring rates of breast cancer in the under 50s.</div>

<b>cutting of the umbilical cord for more than 3 minutes 'is much better for a baby's health.' Infants' blood iron levels were better when the cord was clamped later, a review of previous studies showed. Cutting the umbilical cord immediately after birth currently standard practice puts the baby at risk of iron deficiency.</b> Leaving the cord attached for a few minutes allows the blood in the cord to transfer to the baby. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). In many countries it's standard practice to clamp the umbilical cord connecting mother and baby less than a minute after birth. Now we know that cutting the cord too soon may reduce the amount of blood that passes from mother to baby via the placenta affecting the baby's iron stores. On the other hand delayed cord clamping which is carried out more than a minute after birth may also slightly increase the risk of jaundice. The World Health Organisation now recommends cord clamping between one and three minutes after birth. The existing guidance on cord-clamping was published in 2007 when the consensus was that cutting the cord immediately was the best option something which had been the case for decades. But since then researchers have questioned whether that is still the case. The latest study involving 3,911 women and their babies showed clamping the cord later made no difference to the risk of maternal haemorrhaging, blood loss or haemoglobin levels and babies were healthier in a number of respects. When cord cutting was delayed babies had higher haemoglobin levels between one and two days after birth and were less likely to be iron deficient three to six months after birth. Birth weight was also higher with delayed cord clamping. Dr Philippa Middleton, of Adelaide University, said: ‘In light of growing evidence delayed cord clamping increases early haemoglobin concentrations and iron stores in infants, a more liberal approach to delaying clamping of the umbilical cord in healthy babies appears to be warranted.’ Clamping the cord later did lead to a slightly higher number of babies needing treatment for jaundice which is treated by light therapy. Dr Middleton said: ‘The benefits of delayed cord clamping need to be weighed against the small additional risk of jaundice in newborns. ‘Later cord clamping to increase iron stores might be particularly beneficial in settings where severe anaemia is common.’ The study is published in The Cochrane Library. </span></div>

In a grocery store the sticker should start with the number "9" not a "4" Means there organic. This is true with all produce in a grocery store.<br />
* Vine ripened tomatoes are best, so they should have a stem still attached.<br />
* When you slice it is should be juicy and solid not with big air pockets. See my 3 min video below.<br />
* It should be completely ripe and not green. See my 3 min video below.<br />
* It should have a lot of flavor and not taste like cardboard.<br />
* Food enzymes are only found in raw uncooked tomatoes.<br />
* After slicing open the tomato they start losing their nutritional value very rapidly so it's best to always eat them in less than three hours. I'm referring to the enzymes, many phytochemicals and the vitamins. The mineral content does not change.<br />
* Dehydrated tomatoes or frozen and canned tomatoes have less enzymes and vitamins.<br />
<div>
* Each variety of tomatoes have different nutritional values of phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, glyco nutritionals and amino acids. So it's best to not eat to see kind or type of tomato year after year. Use a variety to get these other nutritional factors that one tomato might have been another variety will not.</div>

It's these small things in life that make a difference in our good health and that of our family.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">A vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy. Yet synthetic vitamin C called ascorbic acid does not reverse and cure the condition. Because it's not food. Ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate are all man-made synthetic vitamin C, not one of these three man-made synthetic vitamin C sources of vitamin C will cure scurvy. Real food that God has made like lemons and limes with this real food </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">vitamin C does clear up and cure the disease of scurvy. Check your vitamin bottle labels to see if you're taking man-made synthetic vitamin C, okay? Vitamin C has many functions in the body over seven specifically and synthetic vitamin C only helps in one of those seven categories. Since "synthetic vitamin C ascorbic acid" is made from petroleum – oil (tar) and petroleum is from the earth then it can be called natural, but it's not food. God designed us to eat food & when we do we function and feel good. As long as you're not deficient in any molecules that your body needs to function properly. All auto immune disorders are a deficiency of one or more nutrients. They can also be from too many toxins yet when the bodies well-nourished of all the nutrients God designed our body so that we could detoxify. Scurvy </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">is probably best known as a condition that once affected sailors on long sea voyages. There is one cause of this condition, and that is an inadequate amount of vitamin C in the diet. Sailors used to take large amounts of fruit — usually lemons </span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">or limes</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> — onto their ships, and when the fruit ran out, scurvy could set in. Some of the common symptoms of this condition include pale skin with reddish or purple spots, f</span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">requent colds and runny nose,</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> sunken eyes, tender gums, </span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">bleeding gums from simply brushing teeth is a real red flag of a danger,</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> and diarrhea. </span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b>http://play.goldmail.com/cmg5k0gq1ka4</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This condition occurs when the body has depleted its store of vitamin C. The exact time scale for the condition to appear depends on how much vitamin C the body has stored. After the intake of vitamin C has ceased, scurvy can set in within anywhere from a week to three months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The symptoms of scurvy include a number of ailments within the body. Sufferers can feel extremely fatigued as well as nauseated. They might also experience an overall feeling of discomfort, and pain will be felt in the muscles and joints of the body.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
If the sufferer has cuts or wounds, they might take a long time to heal properly. In the mouth area, the teeth might become loose, and there may be some swelling and bleeding in the gums. The hair and skin will become dry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Another major symptom is bleeding into the body’s muscles and joints, such as in the knees and arms. This symptom is extremely painful. If scurvy appears in a child, it can have consequences on the child’s natural growth. Thin tissue that encases the child’s bones will begin to bleed, causing pain and growth irregularities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Scurvy is not as common as it once was. Vitamin C can easily be obtained from fruits, vegetables and drinks, including fresh raw cow or goat milk. The body needs vitamin C to maintain healthy skin and bones. Our body cannot manufacture vitamin C like all other animals (with the exception of fruit eating bat the rhesus monkey and the guinea pig). Real food vitamin C ensures healthy growth in the hair and helps heal any wounds, cuts or bruises. http://play.goldmail.com/cmg5k0gq1ka4</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Some people are more susceptible to an insufficiency of this important vitamin C not because there unique in some way it is because they eat more junk food, process food and much less real food. Older people might be lacking in it because they often don't eat fresh produce (because of bad teeth or dentures) and they don't drink raw milk. A diet that is low in vitamin C is the biggest risk factor for scurvy. Scurvy can be diagnosed by a simple blood test. If there is a deficiency in the vitamin C levels in the white blood cells, then adequate treatment will be required. Man-made synthetic vitamin C will not clear up the condition.</div>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This condition is easily treated. Improving the diet to strengthen the levels of vitamin C is all that is necessary a</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Droid Sans, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> supplement of real food technology supplying vitamin C will speed up the process.</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">. The symptoms should disappear within a day to a few weeks. Maintaining a diet of real food that is rich in vitamin C will prevent any further attacks of this condition.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> </span><br />

Mandatory chemotherapy for your child. The concept is horrific. But it is not just a concept. It has already happened and is still happening, which is why I am writing this article. We need to sound the alarm about this disturbing trend that, despite recent mainstream media references to a case of court-coerced chemotherapy, is still largely going unnoticed and/or unrecognized for what it really is: a human rights violation of the worst kind. Moreover, as it involves our children who can not rightly advocate for themselves, we need to speak up and act on their behalf.
Court-Ordered Pediatric Chemotherapy Calls Into Question Who Has Parental Authority
Were it not for J.D. Heyes’ Aug. 13th article for NaturalNews.com titled “Court forces chemo on eight-year-old Minnesota girl despite family’s desire to use alternative medicine,” and the CBS Minnesota article from Aug. 8th reporting on the matter, I would probably not be aware of this ongoing parental and human rights atrocity.
As reported by CBS, a Twin Cities family’s 8-year-old daughter, Sarah, who had recently had 90 percent of a brain tumor surgically removed and was suffering from typical side effects from follow-up chemotherapy, such as nausea, sore throat, loss of weight and hair, was ordered by her doctors to continue for one more year of chemotherapy. Her parents, who wished to search out less toxic treatment alternatives, were contacted by child protective services when the child’s doctors determined her survival was being compromised each day she went without further chemotherapy treatment.
According to CBS, “The Minnetonka family was ordered to court and was told if they did not work with them on a treatment plan, they would lose custody of Sarah.” Subsequently, “The court and Parisian family eventually reached an agreement on a treatment plan which includes some chemotherapy, but “it’s going to include a dose that is not going to send her tipping over the edge,” Connors said.”
But What If Chemotherapy Is Not “Therapeutic” At All?
There is a disturbing subtext to this story that will likely never get addressed by any mainstream media outlet, which, incidentally, is why the alternative media is so important. As the saying goes, a text without a context is a pretext. The problem is that conventional treatment with chemotherapy and radiation, and not the cancer to which it is being applied, is often the primary cause of the accelerated death of the patient.*
I often look up commonly used chemoagents by their material data safety sheet (MSDS) to ascertain just how toxic they are, and what I invariably find is quite disturbing. These MSDSs are federally mandated to be provided to the public by the manufacturers of chemicals and drugs to which the public will be exposed, either by accident or intention, e.g. prescribed chemicals. They contain toxicological risk assessments based on acute lethality in an animal model that reveal how dangerous these chemicals actually are. We know from these studies that chemotherapy drugs are acutely lethal to humans in the sub-gram dosage range and are often classified as carcinogenic.
Tamoxifen, for instance, a first-line treatment for breast cancer for well over 40 years, is classified by the World Health Organization and American Cancer Society as a human carcinogen. Or, 5-fluorauracil, one of the world’s best-selling oncology drugs is so toxic that, based on its MSDS LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of test animals) rating, when administered at a dosage equivalent to the weight of 3 pennies (approximately 7.5 grams), is deadly enough to kill 50% of the adult humans given it, within one dose.
Children As Canaries in the Chemical Coal Mine
Children are already uniquely susceptible to the genotoxicity of synthetic chemicals because of the relatively faster rate at which their cells replicate in the normal course of their fast-paced bodily development, as well as their less developed detoxification systems. Indeed, in a groundbreaking report released by the President’s Cancer Panel in 2010, in which our government agencies were indicted for “failing to carry out their responsibilities,” childhood cancers overall, especially childhood leukemia and brain cancer, were found to be increasing at an alarming rate relative to most types of cancers in adult populations.
Chemical and radiation exposures are likely the primary reason for this observed discrepancy. This is why the use of conventional chemotherapy agents in children is so disturbing, since the very mechanism of action of most of these agents is to target cells that replicate faster, irrespective of whether they are malignant or benign. The collateral damage, in other words, is usually devastating, and cancer recurrence virtually guaranteed in a large number of cases not in spite of, but because of the treatment given.
Keep in mind that tens of thousands of children diagnosed with cancer each year are being pressured into being “treated” with chemotherapy as their only alternative. It is one thing to be falsely marketed to, or having the science misrepresented, or being told by a doctor that if you do not choose to take this chemical you will die much sooner. It is another to be told that your very own flesh and blood – your children, for God’s sake – can be taken from you, because you did not want to see them poisoned to death for a condition like cancer, which is often caused by lifetime cumulative exposures to chemicals/poisons.
If You Don’t Know How Your Chemicals Work It’s A Human Experiment
This is why we have the medical ethical principle of informed consent. This is why human experimentation after the Second World War, and the horrors of the Nazi death camps, was explicitly rejected in the adoption of a medical ethical code that required voluntary consent before being subject to experimental drugs. Mind you, most oncologists and the manufacturers that peddle them have no idea what the chemotherapy agents they use are actually doing to their patient’s bodies — which is the very definition of experimental medicine, making informed consent impossible.
In fact, much of the research available on the true nature of cancer, especially research on cancer stem cells, indicates that chemotherapy and radiation are not only are a miserable failure, but actually make the cancer far more malignant. Pediatric cancer stem cells have recently been characterized as a key factor in chemoresistance and radioresistance, especially in brain cancers, the #1 form of childhood cancer.
Who Owns Your Body, Your Child’s Body Really?
Furthermore, who has, or should have, the ultimate authority in making these decisions about your child’s body? If it is not you – the parent – and it is the State, or a privatized medical establishment which is seamlessly intertwined with it, or multinational corporations who defraud the government and the medical institutions with check-book science for their patented, highly toxic nostrums, then are we not saying that our bodies, or our children’s bodies are not self-possessed? That they are property, merely chattel, as would be the technical definition of the bodies of slaves?
Mandatory chemotherapy, from a human rights perspective, is no different from mandatory vaccination. The same pathological thinking, and denial of bodily self-possession is at play. What we are talking about here is a medical establishment that has far more to do with control of the populace than service to it.
If any treatment becomes compulsory, and that treatment by its very nature violates every natural law within the human body, i.e. using poisonous chemicals to suppress symptoms of chemical poisoning, then we have entered a truly Orwellian phase where being sick is required of us, as well as to maintain our parental rights, or even to be a parent, lest the State tear our children away from us.
I reject this implied reality. I encourage you to do the same. Coercing or forcing conventional chemotherapy on a child is abuse – nothing less. Until the profound density of evidence supporting natural treatments for cancer become mainstream knowledge, the pseudo-scientific medical dictatorship will continue to poison people to death while at the same moment claiming to save their lives. If this sounds radical or revolutionary, I assure you it is really simply a matter of observing and telling the truth.

ScienceDaily (July 3, 2012) — Scientists at Arizona State University have discovered that older honey bees effectively reverse brain aging when they take on nest responsibilities typically handled by much younger bees. While current research on human age-related dementia focuses on potential new drug treatments, researchers say these findings suggest that social interventions may be used to slow or treat age-related dementia.
"We knew from previous research that when bees stay in the nest and take care of larvae -- the bee babies -- they remain mentally competent for as long as we observe them," said Amdam. "However, after a period of nursing, bees fly out gathering food and begin aging very quickly. After just two weeks, foraging bees have worn wings, hairless bodies, and more importantly, lose brain function -- basically measured as the ability to learn new things. We wanted to find out if there was plasticity in this aging pattern so we asked the question, 'What would happen if we asked the foraging bees to take care of larval babies again?"In a study published in the scientific journal Experimental Gerontology, a team of scientists from ASU and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, led by Gro Amdam, an associate professor in ASU's School of Life Sciences, presented findings that show that tricking older, foraging bees into doing social tasks inside the nest causes changes in the molecular structure of their brains.
During experiments, scientists removed all of the younger nurse bees from the nest -- leaving only the queen and babies. When the older, foraging bees returned to the nest, activity diminished for several days. Then, some of the old bees returned to searching for food, while others cared for the nest and larvae. Researchers discovered that after 10 days, about 50 percent of the older bees caring for the nest and larvae had significantly improved their ability to learn new things.
Amdam's international team not only saw a recovery in the bees' ability to learn, they discovered a change in proteins in the bees' brains. When comparing the brains of the bees that improved relative to those that did not, two proteins noticeably changed. They found Prx6, a protein also found in humans that can help protect against dementia -- including diseases such as Alzheimer's -- and they discovered a second and documented "chaperone" protein that protects other proteins from being damaged when brain or other tissues are exposed to cell-level stress.
In general, researchers are interested in creating a drug that could help people maintain brain function, yet they may be facing up to 30 years of basic research and trials.
"Maybe social interventions -- changing how you deal with your surroundings -- is something we can do today to help our brains stay younger," said Amdam. "Since the proteins being researched in people are the same proteins bees have, these proteins may be able to spontaneously respond to specific social experiences."
Amdam suggests further studies are needed on mammals such as rats in order investigate whether the same molecular changes that the bees experience might be socially inducible in people.

Part 1
Most Natural Health Coaches say "Eat Raw Food & to Not Eat Meat (Yet).
I can't help but feel that people have been somewhat misguided, preferring to hold on tenaciously to your view that a 100% raw, vegan diet as the ideal diet for man, rather than acknowledge the truth of what is recorded in the Bible. I believe that the ideal diet should be predominantly plant-based <b>yet supplemented by a small quantity of clean, whole, pesticide- and hormone-free animal products</b>, e.g. raw milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, eggs, fish, beef, chicken, mutton, venison, etc. The list of clean meats are found in Leviticus 11:1-47 & Deuteronomy 14:1-29
Allow me to highlight a few Biblical truths:
• Jesus Christ, our Lord, the Creator of the heavens and the earth and all human beings, ate animal foods (meat, curds, milk), during His pre-incarnate appearances (e.g. to Abraham in Genesis 18), during His 3.5-year earthly ministry (I'm sure it was no different during His pre-public ministry days) and, think of it, after His resurrection (He ate broiled/barbecued fish on two occasions). If my Lord, who loved me so much that He was willing to go the cross for me, ate fish and gave fish to His children to eat (the feeding of the 4,000 and 5,000), how can I possibly believe that eating fish is toxic to my body. Would such a benevolent God feed poison to His children? Jesus taught that fishes and eggs are good gifts which a loving father would not withhold from his children (Luke 11:11-13). He would not have used these examples if He knew that these were toxic. Jesus also ate bread, which was the staple food of the Jews, referring to Himself as the Bread of Life.
• We don't know for sure if pre-Flood man cooked their food, do we? How can you be so sure that they ate their food raw 100% of the time? We read in Genesis 4:22 that the pre-Flood descendants of Cain knew how to forge implements of bronze and iron. This could only be possible if they had been useing fire. Are you suggesting that generations of pre-Flood man who knew how to use fire for other industrial purposes never cooked their food? That is really quite hard to swallow.
• We don't know for sure if pre-Flood man never ate animal foods, do we? Abel was a keeper of flocks. He brought an animal sacrifice to the LORD (Genesis 4:2). Do you suppose he threw the meat away after the sacrifice? The descendants of Cain also kept flocks (Genesis 4:20). It is hard to imagine that pastoral farmers who kept large quantities of livestock never ate from his produce. What did they keep livestock for? For fur coats and skins only? Now we know that the earth's climate in those days was uniformly warm throughout the earth. Why would they need so much coats and skin to cover themselves? After taking the skin and coats, did they throw away the meat? What about the milk of cows, sheep and goats? Did they also abstain from these for hundreds, even thousands of years? I believe that it is possible that pre-Flood man ate some animal foods from time to time.
• We don't know for sure if pre-Flood man never fell sick, do we? In Romans 8:19-23 tells us that the whole creation had been suffering the pains of childbirth ever since the fall of man. I believe sickness entered the world the moment Adam and Eve fell. To say that pre-Flood man never fell sick is therefore a gross mistake.
• We don't know for sure if pre-Flood man never ate grains or tubers or certain plant foods which require cooking, do we? However, Genesis tells us that Cain was a tiller of the grounds. Could it be that he or pre-Flood man never cultivated grains which is a staple food of man for thousands of years and made large civilizations possible?
What I am saying is this: just because the Bible is silent on certain topics does not allow us to make controversial statements as if these were gospel truths.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
