Something To Think About
============================
Is Compact Florescent
Lights (CFL) the answer?
CFLs use less energy, so when everyone starts using
them, mercury emissions from power plants will drop. Or so we're told.
I've got to think that mercury emissions will continue at a pretty high
level since most of us will still be using refrigerators, computers, air
conditioners, etc.
There are lots of flaws in the justifications for forcing this new
technology on all of us, but the one flaw that stands out in the most
glaring way is mercury - a very dangerous neurotoxin. We are told that
simply touching mercury to our skin can be dangerous, so why this risk?
True it will be contained within a globe, but one that breaks, so is it
safe?
Safe Disposal
will mean we must depend on the honesty of each household!
CFLs contain mercury, so each unit should be disposed of in a hazardous
waste collection facility. And because they're difficult to recycle, you
can be certain most of them will be tossed in the trash where they'll
get broken. They can break in your home, exposing you to mercury. They
can break in the garbage truck, exposing sanitation workers to mercury.
They can break in the landfill, exposing groundwater to mercury. And
when the day comes that every light socket in every U.S. home is filled
with a CFL, there will be thousands and thousands of CFL bulbs thrown
away each day. And the mercury load in our environment will mount and
mount and mount?
LENA'S COMMENT: We have been forced into using these and the disposal
fact is what scare me to no end! Please take care when disposing of
them.
=======================
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
Probiotics boost vitamins and bacteria-killing
substances, fight infection, build immunity, improve digestion, and
enhance nutrient absorption. Probiotics are good bacteria that help
maintain healthy stomach function and overall health.
A study conducted in Japan revealed that probiotics help prevent
diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), Ulcerative colitis.
Patients given either a placebo or probiotics every day for one year.
The findings were that participants who took probiotics had less levels
of harmful bacteria, greater remission, and fewer relapses than their
counterparts who were given a placebo.

New Hope For Aging Eyes
Supplements May Prevent Age-Related
Vision Loss
One of the most widespread effects of aging is
weakening eyesight.
In the United
States, the most common cause for decreased eyesight and blindness in
people over 55 years-old is age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a
disease that affects a specific part of the retina.
A study in the Archives of Ophthalmology reports that the use of
antioxidants together with zinc may reduce the risk of developing AMD
and, therefore, loss of vision. As part of the Age-Related Eye Disease
Study, 3,640 participants between the ages of 55 and 80 were followed
over a six-year period. Each person had some degree of retinal changes,
ranging from mild to severe.
They were divided
into groups to receive daily intakes of either...
(1)antioxidants... including 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E,
and 15 mg of beta-carotene;
(2) 80 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper;
(3) antioxidants plus zinc (no copper); or
(4) no supplements at all.
The researchers
found that taking antioxidants reduced the risk of developing AMD by
17%, and zinc lowered the risk by 21%. An even more profound decline in
risk was found when antioxidants and zinc were taken together, reducing
the risk 25%.
Better Yet...
In addition, the combination of antioxidants and zinc led
to a 27% decrease in the risk of having eyesight worsen.
A study from Harvard University found that people whose diets were high
in Lutein and Zeaxanthin had a 57% decrease in the risk of developing
AMD, compared with those who ate little of these substances.
Diets high in Lutein may also protect against the formation of
cataracts. It appears that either eating diet rich in dark green, leafy
vegetables and/or supplementing with antioxidants daily helps slow the
progression of serious eye disease, as well as other health
challengers.
These facts have been
practiced by many over the last fifteen years and with great results.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Used as a flavor yet
a very healthy food!
I thought I would continue with unlikely foods this week. Food you don't
think of as food but as a spice or flavoring, which is very healthy!
The licorice-flavored herb anise contains high levels of health-boosting
compounds called phenylpropanoids. Pimpinella anisum L.
Oil of Anise, distilled in Europe from the fruits of Pimpinella anisum,
Anise, and in China from the fruits of Illicium anisatum, Star
Anise, a small tree indigenous to China, is colorless, or very pale
yellow, with taste and odor like the fruit. The oils obtainable from
these two fruits are identical in composition, and nearly the same in
most of their characters, but that from Star Anise fruit congeals at a
lower temperature. The powdered drug from Star Anise is administered
in India as a substitute for the official fruit, and the oil is employed
for its aromatic, carminative and stimulant properties. The bulk of the
oil in commerce is obtained from the Star Anise fruit in China. The
fruits are also often imported into France and the oil extracted there.
Chinese Anise oil is harsh in taste. WARNING: Drinking tea brewed from
Star Anise is not considered safe by some so caution should be used in
drinking tea from Star Anise.
A team of researchers isolated 22 compounds in anise essential oils, and
found some phenylpropanoid compounds that were unique to anise, and four
of the compounds had never before been identified in any plant.
Aside from effectively controlling aphids and the plant fungus
Colletotrichum, the compounds also showed promise for human health
problems. Specifically, some of the compounds were effective against:
- Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria in
humans.
- Mycobacterium intracellulare, a bacterium that can cause illness
in people with compromised immune systems.
Further, some phenylpropanoids had anti-inflammatory and phytoestrogen
properties.
The researchers suggested that compounds in anise essential oils may be
useful for developing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
While the entire plant is fragrant, it is the fruit of anise,
commercially called anise seed that has been highly valued since
antiquity. The delicate fragrance is widely used for flavoring curries,
breads, soups, cakes, candies, desserts, nonalcoholic beverage, and such
liqueurs as anisette and arak. The volatile or essential oil, obtained
by steam distillation of the crushed anise seed, is valuable in
perfumery and soaps and has been used in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and
skin creams . Anise oil is sometimes used as an adulterant in the
essential oil of licorice. Anise seeds are tiny and crescent shaped with
a strong taste of licorice.
Anise is grown on a commercial scale in; Southern Russia, Bulgaria,
Germany, Malta, Spain, Italy, North Africa and Greece producing large
quantities. It has also been introduced into India and South America.
The cultivated plant attains a considerably larger size than the wild
one.
In the East Anise was formerly used with other spices in part payment of
taxes. 'Ye pay tithe of Mint, Anise and Cummin,' we read in the
23rd chapter of St. Matthew, but some authorities state that Anise is an
incorrect rendering and should have been translated 'Dill.' Are they
right? I don?t know?
In Virgil's time, Anise was used as a spice. Mustacae, a spiced cake of
the Romans introduced at the end of a rich meal, to prevent indigestion,
consisted of meal, with Anise, Cummin and other aromatics. Such a cake
was sometimes brought in at the end of a marriage feast, and is,
perhaps, the origin of our spiced wedding cake.
Historically written
Turner's Herbal, 1551, says that 'Anyse maketh the breth sweter
and swageth payne.' 'The seeds,' says Delamer, Kitchen Garden,
1861, 'are much used by distillers to give flavour to cordial liqueurs.'
Anisette is a liqueur flavoured with aniseed. Langham, Garden Health,
1683, says: 'For the dropsie, fill an old cock with Polipody and
Aniseeds and seethe him well, and drink the broth.' The leaves are
useful for seasoning some dishes. The essential oil of Anise is a good
preventive of mould in paste. The ground seeds form an ingredient of
sachet powders.
Medicinal Action and Uses
As a medicinal plant, anise has been used as a carminative,
antiseptic, antispasmodic, expectorant, stimulant, and stomachic. In
addition, it has been used to promote lactation in nursing mothers and
as a medicine against bronchitis, indigestion and lice. Oil of anise is
used today as an ingredient in cough medicine and lozenges and is
reported to have diuretic and diaphoretic properties. If ingested in
sufficient quantities, anise oil may induce nausea, vomiting, seizures,
and pulmonary edema . Contact of the concentrated oil with the skin can
cause irritation.
The volatile oil, mixed with spirits of wine forms the liqueur Anisette,
which has a beneficial action on the bronchial tubes, and for bronchitis
and spasmodic asthma, Anisette, if administered in hot water, is an
immediate palliative.
 For
infantile catarrh, Aniseed tea is very helpful. It is made by pouring
half a pint of boiling water on 2 teaspoons of bruised seed. This,
sweetened, is given cold in doses of 1 to 3 teaspoons frequently.
Gerard said: ?Aniseed helpeth the yeoxing or hicket (hiccough) and
should be given to young children to eat, which are like to have the
falling sickness (epilepsy), or to/such as have it by patrimony or
succession.?
The stimulant and carminative properties of Anise make it useful in
flatulency and colic. It is used as an ingredient of cathartic and
aperient pills, to relieve flatulence and diminish the griping of
purgative medicines, and may be given with perfect safety in
convulsions. For colic, the dose is 10 to 30 grains of bruised or
powdered seeds infused in distilled water, taken in wineglassful doses,
or 4 to 20 drops of the essential oil on sugar. For the restlessness of
languid digestion, a dose of essence of aniseed in hot water at bedtime
is much commended.
There is more to the taste of anise seed than just black jelly beans.
Learn how this pretty plant has been used through the ages and then
bring it into your own kitchen!
How to grow Anise
Anise can only be grown by seed. Sow the seeds when the soil begins to
warm in the desired flowering position. Transplant the seedlings when
very small and eventually thin them to 15 centimeters apart. Anise has
very long tap roots and therefore is not suitable for container growing
unless in a very deep pots.
Use to further your health!

Why
Osteoporosis Drugs Actually Make Your Bones Weak and Brittle!
©
Lena Sanchez
Recent studies - I've published many of those in this column
in the past - have linked the supposedly Osteoporosis
prevention drugs to osteonecrosis of the jaw, an incurable
condition where the jaw bone actually dies...
Some 2,400 people, that we know about, have developed this
devastating condition and many are suing the drug companies. In
response, one of the drug companies issued a press release
saying that these cases, "do not necessarily indicate
causality." There goes that
pharmaceutical jargon again!
Don't buy into that jargon!
Your bones keep renewing themselves throughout your life, with
older weaker bone cells being replaced by younger stronger ones.
This happens when specials cells called osteoclasts and
osteoblasts interact properly and only when given the cell/bone
building properties necessary for that healthy rebuilding
process. The process; osteoclasts break down old bone and remove
it then the osteoblasts build new bone in it's place.
Drug is a drug - stops areas from function as it should while
causes other areas to overproduces! These are no different!
Bisphosphonate drugs - osteoporosis drugs - work by disabling
the osteoclasts so that they stop breaking down
your old bone. BUT the drug does nothing to build new bone! That
leaves old dead bone in place so even though your bones become
denser, that density is made up of old, weak, brittle bone
tissue that is dead, not strong new healthy bone!
Why are the dead jaw bones being found? Not the story the drug
industry is telling you, that's for sure! It's a medical fact
that osteoclast, osteoblast cycle moves a lot faster in the jaw
than it does in the other bones of the body. So doesn't it make
sense that whatever bone changes caused by these drugs would
occur in the jaw first? Seems to me it would since we know that
fact...
It's only been ten years since the bisphosphonate drugs came on
the market, Sadly, I'm betting in the next ten years or maybe
less, we will be hearing about hips, legs and arm bones dying in
those who continue those drugs! We will have an epidemic of
wheel chair bound people, if they survive the damage! Cell
rebuilding isn't only working on the bones it's working in the
rest of the body and the lack of healthy cell building will
affect the rest of the body as well.
How can you make sure your bones are rebuilding healthy bones?
Make sure your body is getting the proper
chemical/pesticide-free foods, exercise, sunshine and
supplements that will encourage your body's healthy bone/cell
growth.
BUT, if you've been victim of the drug industry and have been
taking their bisphosphonate drugs for a year or more I would
suggest that you go for Electromagnetic therapy (EMT). That is
done by having mild electrical current circulated into weakened
bones. You will have to search to find a doctor who does this
type of EMT but it will be well worth it. Our body is ruled
by electrical impulses sent down from the brain to the rest of
the body to function. I know of one such center in Newport
Beach, California at
Dr.
Whitaker's Wellness Center... Or you can make sure your body
is producing their own electrical impulses by making sure it is
getting the full balanced minerals and herbal/nutritional help
it needs to overcome the damage...
Treat your bones well and the rest of the body will follow!

THE MODERN SOLUTION TO POLLUTION IS DILUTION
By Peter Montague
I will reflect on some of the major changes of the past 2
decades.
One of the most important changes has been the adoption by state
and federal agencies of a consistent strategy for managing toxic
wastes. The strategy is now being applied to municipal solid
waste, legally-hazardous chemical wastes, sewage sludge laced
with industrial poisons, toxic coal combustion wastes, and many
kinds of radioactive wastes.
The strategy is to allow these wastes to disperse slowly into
the natural environment, leaving no fingerprints behind. This
approach has proven to be a politically robust -- if ethically
reprehensible -- solution to a massive problem that would
otherwise be exceedingly nettlesome and expensive.
The strategy is reprehensible because, as we all know, after
pollutants disperse into the natural world, they have a way of
re-concentrating and entering food chains where they can exert a
poisonous influence. Mercury provides an excellent example. When
mercury -- the familiar silvery liquid metal -- is released from
underground by mining (or by burning coal), it eventually
enters air and then water. In water, bacteria convert mercury
into methyl mercury, which is far more toxic than elemental
mercury. Methyl mercury is water-soluble, it enters food webs,
and it slowly concentrates upward into the top predators -- big
fish, big cats (the endangered Florida Panther comes to mind),
large birds, and big mammals such as whales, bears, and humans.
Therefore releasing mercury into the natural world is a surefire
recipe for harming animals and people. So it is with many other
wastes -- arsenic, cadmium, thallium, toxic lead, soluble forms
of nitrogen, pesticides, certain solvents, many pharmaceutical
preparations, and so on. The rule of thumb can be stated simply
-- Toxics: release them and they will maim and kill, somewhere,
some time.
Since that time, the strategy has been universally embraced and
adopted at all levels of government, by Republicans and
Democrats, by the corporate elite who are chiefly responsible
for creating most of the waste, and even by many Big Green
environmental advocates.
Of course humans have been dispersing their wastes into the
natural environment forever. But our wastes used to be fairly
harmless. Our great grandparents threw away mostly food scraps
and their own excrement, plus wood, cotton, flax, wool, stone,
clay, glass, and iron. Nature recycles these things handily.
Then starting about 1900, the chemical industry developed all
manner of exotic (and highly useful) molecules that nature had
never encountered before, and so a new breed of trouble
appeared. The world was surprised -- and perhaps somewhat amused
-- when the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught on fire in 1969.
Nine years later, in 1978, the discovery of serious harm to
children living near Love Canal (outside Buffalo, N.Y.)
frightened anyone who was paying attention because we recognized
our dispersed wastes coming back to bite us.
Lined landfills created the modern garbage industry
