If you are having issues with migraines, headaches, cramps, nausea, yeast problems, hot flashes and night sweats... I highly suggest trying Transfer Factor Advanced Formula and Goji Juice. I personally have had great results and relief. I also know of numerous other women personally that have had improvements. Remember though many mention that even in the first month they have noticed a lot of improvement... it took me about 2 months to notice my night sweats are gone.

The largest internal organ in your body is the liver. An adult human liver normally weighs between 1.3 to 3.0 kilograms. Functions of the liver include the neutralizing and removal of harmful substances and toxins from the blood, and metabolizing fats. When people talk about "burning fat" it really means that fat is being metabolized by the liver. Overloading the liver with harmful toxins can cause disastrous effects on your health.

A sluggish liver can lead to serious fatigue, weight gain, water retention, and cholesterol plaque build-up.

The Kidneys - Every day about 200 quarts of blood pass through your kidneys, which filter out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. There are over 500 miles of tiny tubes and blood vessels inside your two kidneys.

Functions of your kidneys include:

1) the elimination of toxins, waste products, and excess water from the blood - filtering it through tiny cells called nephrons,
2) using the waste and excess water to produce urine which is passed though tubes called ureters to the bladder,
3) filtering out excess levels of chemicals like sodium, phosphorus, and potassium and returning the proper amounts back to the bloodstream,
4) producing three essential hormones: erythropoietin or EPO (which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells), renin (which regulates blood pressure), and calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D which helps maintain calcium for the bones and normal chemical balance in the body).

Kidney problems are becoming more common every year, mostly due to the consumption of overly processed foods. The kidneys filter toxins out of your blood by producing urine. Just like the colon and liver, your kidney is vital to your everyday health. If these organs do not function properly, your body becomes weak, leaving you vulnerable to disease.

Autointoxification is a term we use that means "you make yourself sick" by reabsorbing the toxic water from your bowel back into your bloodstream. If you don't drink enough water (which most people don't) then you run the risk of reabsorbing water from the bowel into the bloodstream. With the water can go toxins and this can cause toxicity throughout the body. If you only have 1 bm per day then the material can be building up in the bowel.

Good Life Skills Start Young...

I happened to catch the story of Ron Clark on TNT one day. Not that he has any "health wellness" but he did win the Disney Teacher of the Year award with his amazing ability to take a class, turn it around and score very well on final exams. If you are a teacher or just the parent I recommend The Essential 55 book by Ron Clark and watch for his movie on TNT in The Ron Clark Story, a Johnson & Johnson Spotlight Presentation. Matthew Perry stars in it. His teaching... to teach the WHOLE student. Grab a tissue if you get to watch the movie its truly amazing and an inspiration.

From Publishers Weekly

The winner of the 2001 Disney Teacher of the Year Award presents some revolutionary ideas for the classroom: manners, industriousness and accountability. Many of the 55 rules Clark outlines read, at first, like excerpts from a 1950's primer: "If you are asked a question in conversation, you should ask a question in return," says Rule 6; stand to the right on escalators, insists Rule 43; and rule 29 includes 26 sub-rules about polite eating. Clark may seem like a bit of a fussbudget, but closer examination shows his rules go beyond simple politeness: they promote respect for self and others, and help foster a mature and responsible way of living in the world. As Clark explains each rule, he weaves in anecdotes of student projects, class trips (including one to Washington, D.C., where his students sang Christmas carols with the Clintons) and instances in which the particular rule proved invaluable. Clark, a North Carolina native, writes with a warm, Southern friendliness, and his cogent explanations about why he created his rules and his closing tips on dealing with parents and children offer plenty of ideas and much-needed support. Teachers will have to be determined to succeed before any set of guidelines will have an effect in the classroom, he warns-and indeed, Clark's tireless dedication might be daunting to some. And while the content of his lessons is presented only vaguely, for inspiration, this book is a definite winner; it also makes a strong case that students lack only good teachers to achieve great things. Clark's slim but valuable volume will make a welcome addition to any teacher's library.

Salt is a vital substance for the survival of all living creatures, particularly humans. Water and salt regulate the water content of the body. Water itself regulates the water content of the interior of the cell by working its way into all of the cells it reaches. It has to get there to cleanse and extract the toxic wastes of cell metabolisms. Salt forces some water to stay outside the cells. It balances the amount of water that stays outside the cells. There are two oceans of water in the body; one ocean is held inside the cells of the body, and the other ocean is held outside the cells. Good health depends on a most delicate balance between the volume of these oceans, and this balance is achieved by salt - unrefined salt.

Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.

Historically, flaxseed has been used for food and feed for animals for several thousand years in Europe, Asia and Africa, and more recently in Canada and the United States. Oil pressed from flaxseed also has been a basic cooking oil in China and other countries for centuries.

So-called LINSEED OIL pressed from flaxseed is an "industrial" oil that is used for paints, coatings, linoleum, and many other products. Linseed oil is pressed and further extracted from flaxseed with a petroleum solvent. Industrial linseed oil is not useable for food or feed, although the linseed oil meal remaining after linseed oil extraction is used for animal, principally dairy, feed.

Flaxseed is now produced primarily in North Dakota in the United States. Flax acreage is increasing in recent years because of increased use for food, and feed for PETS, SHOW ANIMALS, and other COMPANION ANIMALS.

Flaxseed in vegetarian diets is a good source of essential fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates, the phytochemical LIGNAN, potassium and other nutrients.

The usual beneficial dose of Flaxseed Oil is 2-3 grams once per day taken with a meal or Flaxseed oil manufacturers recommend one to two tablespoons of flaxseed oil per 100 pounds of body weight.

Dr. Budwig, has been treating cancer of all kinds with nothing but cottage cheese and Flaxseed Oil for over 16 years. She says that people with cancer have blood that is low in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and the blood has a greenish cast. Flaxseed oil is 56% Omega 3 and 16% Omega 6. Recently I read that most people have blood that is 80% deficient in Omega 3. Dr. Budwig has taken patients sometimes given only hours to live and restored them to health. Doctors had attempted to treat patients with sources of Omega 3 but had not been consistently successful. We have heard that mixing organic cottage cheese and flaxseed oil is highly beneficial against cancer. Mix it well until you get almost a different consistency similar to yogurt.

"Has anyone ever noticed that people of our world eat so many quantities of wheat (normally in highly processed and lifeless, enzymeless forms like breads, bagels, donuts, pizza, cookies, and desserts?) Do they realize that the near nutritional benefit and healing power of wheat is hidden in the wheat berry (or seed) itself?

Wheatgrass, which is the 10 to 14 days grown grass, contains the entire range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and nutrients that your body requires. Whereas wheat's more popular form of dead food products consumed by millions of uneducated people is totally void of life or health-giving properties.

Although the leading body experts, know as doctors, pharmacists, dietitians and scientists have been aware for well over 60 years (possibly centuries) about the miraculous qualities of wheatgrass and chlorophyll, they seemed to have left it up to us to "discover it." Thanks to caring people like Ann Wigmore and Victoras Kulvinskas, countless numbers of people have been given a new lease on life, better health and peace of mind using wheatgrass juice and living foods.

Wheatberries, like all other sprout seeds, reminds us that life force or innate healing power is hidden within us. When we expose and release this energy (like sprouting does for seeds) by drinking or applying wheatgrass, our bodies and minds regenerate into the strong beautiful and healthy forms they were created to become.

The simple things life offers us still contain not only amazing answers to our seemingly most difficult human conditions, but also teach us the basic laws for true happiness and survival.

As a survival food, storing wheat berries is in my opinion, a must. Not only because you can live off wheatgrass, if necessary, but you can also turn wheat berry sprouts into an incredible variety of foods. Some of these include sprouted breads, cookies, sprouted pizza, desserts, rejuvelac, sprouted wheat germ, and wheat milk. You can use the wheatgrass pulp for external wounds, blemishes, rashes, and bruises. And with even more imagination, the wheatgrass juice can be taken internally through other areas (eyes, ears, and nose) and can benefit all possible ailments. If you are ever without other herbs, essential oils, or remedies, wheat berries are a complete first aid kit the Creator has given us."

Deodorant...

Not all deodorants are created equal. The biggest challenge I had as an adult was to find a deodorant that I could use and not be allergic to! I have tried it all, even that rock that is a natural deodorant. Then on a whim I thought "what the heck I can itch for another week", I tried Tom's Of Maine Natural Deodorant stick, unscented. Finally success! I can wear it on a daily basis! Not saying it will work for everyone and if you have "been there done that", give it a try, maybe it will work for you too...

I have a sister in law that is highly allergic to products on the skin... shampoos, soaps, perfume, makeup, etc... she has had a long hard journey finding products that are not full of chemicals... this deodorant is one product she can use.

I heard this story on the Derry Brownfield Show "The Common Sense Coalition" The show actually was about how our Republicans and Democrats (mostly talked about the Republican party but threw in the word Democrat) muscle out other parties such as Independents and Constitionalists. It's time we started listening to these parties and hearing what they have to say and SAVE our Independence and our Constitutional Rights!

Hmmm... eyebrow raising... funny how all of a sudden there is an e-coli problem with the Organic spinach and on the tail end of the epidemic they announce how this viral spray will be good for you buying spraying your grocery store meats....oops then a spot on Organic raw milk, hmmm do you suppose they are trying to make their viral spray sound like its a benefit??

On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved a viral cocktail to be sprayed on foods we eat. This is the first time viruses have been approved for use as food additives. The FDA wants you to believe it will be safe to consume these viruses every day for the rest of your life with no adverse health effects. This is a monumental announcement by the FDA, indicating they are throwing all caution to the wind regarding the safety of our food supply.

Are you willing to stand in line for a virus-laden sandwich? How do you like the idea of buying virus-infested food for your family? The first virally contaminated foods entering our food supply with the blessings of the FDA will be luncheon meat and poultry. Live viruses will be sprayed on foods such as cold cuts, sausages, hot dogs, sliced turkey, and chicken.

At issue is the very real problem of a poor quality FDA-approved food supply that is already full of diseased and sickly animals, many of them imported from other countries. The use of antibiotics during growth and radiation during food processing is required by the fast-food animal farms owned by multi-national companies to cover up the horrendous health of the animals they wish to feed to Americans. Animals in poor health are a friendly place for bacteria to grow and prosper, especially after such meat goes to market. Rather than address the source of the problem, the FDA wants to add another adulteration into our food supply.

The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a rare bacterium known as Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is killed by cooking; however, it poses a problem in meats that are cooked during processing and not cooked again prior to consumption, so it can readily infect foods such as deli meats.

Yes, the FDA plans to use one infectious organism to fight another. The carnage of battle will end up in your digestive tract along with the victorious live viruses, which the FDA assures us will not attack human cells. However, they cannot possibly be certain the viruses will not attack the friendly bacteria that make up the lining of your digestive tract. The FDA approval was based on scant human testing, mostly from unrelated medical experiments. Such safety data is woefully inadequate to determine safe ingestion of a specific product by humans over the course of a lifetime. READ THE REST OF THE STORY

IATROGENIC [Gk., iatros, physician, genein, to produce], caused by treatment or diagnostic procedures. An iatrogenic disorder is a condition caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure to the environment of a health care facility, including fears instilled in patients by remarks or questions of examining physicians. See also: 'nosocomial', (iatrogenesis, iatrogeny, n.) ~Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 5th Edition, 1998

It is well known that many new drugs, devices, surgeries and treatments are touted as miracles of modern medicine. However, there are two sides, possibly two hundred sides to such claims. This article focuses on a dark side. Caveat Emptor: Buyer Beware.

Ninety-five percent of the people I know are doctors, scientists or activists in health care issues and/or victims of iatrogeny -- including myself. They have commanded my honor and respect since many of these people are addressing epidemic iatrogeny in their work.

A generation ago, people trusted their doctors blindly and implicitly. The personal bonds people used to form with their doctors have largely been replaced with the cold hard contemporary reality that medicine has become a $multi-billion per year business with little room for compassion. The healthcare market place is not kind and people have lost trust. Iatrogeny plays a large and ugly role in this.

A recent study published in The Journal of The American Medical Association (2000:284:94) by Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH, showed that in the U.S. there are:

This totals 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes, placing iatrogeny as the third leading cause of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease and cancer. The scary part is that this does not include disabilities and disorders; just deaths in hospitalized patients. In any event, when one ponders that more than four times as many people die in one year from doctors' mistakes than died in the entire Vietnam War, one is aghast at why this information isn't making headlines or why huge think tanks funded by medicopolitical interests haven't formed.
