Warm weather and garden flourishing makes for spreading myself thin as
usual. Will be canning and freezing lots of veggies and hopefully fruit
this year but will try not to short change you as research to find

Today's ezine is a bit long so make sure you have time to absorb and
read before going any further!
This week's "Food of the Week" could be called "What Is It?"

Something To Think About
============================
LENA'S COMMENT: I usually have my comments at the end of a column but
this was so audacious I had to say it up front!
Wouldn't you know? The last few years the regular flu vaccine hasn't
sold enough to satisfy the drug industry - as people are getting smart
enough to know the vaccines are not effective and in fact risk other
side effects as bad or worse then the flu - so now they are going a
different direction with something that isn't even, as yet proven
to work at all.
U.S. officials consider bumping up flu shot season
Wed May 20, 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials said on Wednesday they are
considering starting the vaccination campaign for seasonal flu earlier
this year to make room for a possible second round of shots against the
new H1N1 flu.
The United States also reported its eighth death from the new swine flu
virus, in a patient in Arizona.
"If possible we do want to have an earlier rollout of seasonal vaccine,"
Dr Daniel Jernigan of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention told reporters in a telephone briefing.
He said the CDC would work with manufacturers of influenza vaccines and
a committee of doctors that advises on vaccination policy to see if that
would be possible and desirable. Flu vaccination usually starts in
September in the United States and peaks in November.
Vaccine experts agree it would be better to launch a second round of
vaccinations against the new H1N1 strain instead of trying to add it to
the seasonal flu vaccine or replacing one of its three components with
the new H1N1 virus.
"The production of seasonal flu vaccine is nearly complete," Jernigan
said.
On Wednesday, the CDC reported 5,710 confirmed and probable cases of the
new H1N1 strain in 48 states, with eight deaths. Globally, more than
10,000 cases have been confirmed with 80 deaths, most in Mexico.
Jernigan said it is clearly still affecting younger people more in the
United States -- 40 percent of the 247 people who have been hospitalized
with serious illness from the new H1N1 strain are aged 19 to 49, he
said.
Seasonal influenza puts 200,000 Americans in the hospital every year and
is a factor in 36,000 deaths, but 90 percent are over 65 or have chronic
diseases such as asthma and heart disease that make them more
vulnerable. With the new H1N1 flu, Jernigan said, 70 percent of
hospitalized patients have an underlying condition.
AGE 50 ADVANTAGE
Only 13 percent of people who have been hospitalized with swine flu are
over 50, Jernigan said, and he said tests of blood among the general
population may eventually show whether people born before 1957 may have
been infected with an older H1N1 strain that was close to the swine flu
strain. They may then have some lifetime resistance to the new strain,
he said.
In 1957, a new flu strain called H2N2 caused a pandemic and became the
predominant strain of flu circulating globally. There is a seasonal H1N1
strain that still circulates but it is only a very distant relative of
the new swine flu strain.
Seasonal flu is also still infecting people but Jernigan said 78 percent
of U.S. cases tested for influenza are the new H1N1 strain. The CDC and
state health departments are only doing targeted testing and say the
true number of flu cases across the country is likely more than 100,000.
Jernigan said many flu patients are getting antibiotics -- which prevent
so-called secondary infections -- but not enough are getting the
antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, which are known to help symptoms.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
=======================
What was once
prescribed as an ulcer diet is found to be wrong and detrimental!
According to the journal Medical Clinics of North America, milk
and milk products -- a basic part of the ulcer diet -- are no longer
recommended. Milk neutralizes gastric acid, but only for a brief time.
When the effect wears off, the acid comes back worse than it was before,
making it worse for you.

LACKING
SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF A
MIRACLE MINERAL Could Prevent You From Losing Weight as well as make it
impossible to gain weight, also Create Mental Confusion,
Fatigue, Obesity, Depression, Dementia - do you have any of these?
Those of you who know me well, know how passionate I am about the
GIANT NECESSITY OF MINERALS. These are the core of all our formulas
and protocols. Wayne Garland, ND, TCM, PhD
An epidemic-scale problem has arrived seemingly overnight that, once
again, can be almost instantly cured by minerals. The thyroid is a factory and
the raw material this factory requires to operate at peak efficiency is
the
miracle-mineral Iodine.
Today’s diet of fast food, junk food, over-processed food like deli
meats, Big Macs, fried chicken, pizzas and carbonated drinks and dairy
products contain next to zero levels of Iodine. So, what happens? The
poor old Thyroid gets starved to death. The body spirals out of control.
And what do our dear friends in the medical and pharmaceutical
industries do? Do they advocate Iodine therapy? NO! They put you on
synthetic Thyroid drugs with all the resultant pitfalls but does not
solve the problem.
Drugs don’t “cure” disease, they treat the symptoms and invariably come
with a host of side-effects that make life miserable.
There is an alternative to suffering and being fleeced of your
hard-earned savings. It’s the use of a force that created us all -
Mother Nature.
If adjusting your diet and exercising more hasn't helped you reach a
healthy body weight, you may have hypothyroidism, or an underactive
thyroid gland. In addition to weight gain, other symptoms of
hypothyroidism include a bad complexion, fatigue, forgetfulness, loss of
sex drive, impotence, irritability and unhealthy hair, nails and teeth.
Fortunately, you can help normalize an underactive thyroid gland by
increasing your intake of the mineral iodine.
Iodine is the missing element - the miracle mineral. There is an old
medical saying that just a few grains of Thyroid hormone can make the
difference between an idiot and an Einstein.
Centuries ago we would receive Iodine in our food supply, but sadly this
is no longer true (except maybe in Okinawa) and is the reason why
Thyroid problems are now epidemic.
SUGGESTION!
START WITH A
BALANCED MINERAL SUPPLEMENT AND IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES
YOU MAY HAVE TO ADD EXTRA NATURAL THYROID HEALING IODINE!

TODAY'S HEALTH TIP
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
One more
reason children should skip the flu shot...
A recent report - one hidden very well - reveals that kids who get the flu shot
are more likely to end up in the hospital -- three times more likely, in fact.
True to form, this alarming finding is buried under flowery language meant to
distract you from the gravity of this discovery.
The study author, Dr. Avni Joshi, had excuses like, "This may not be a
reflection of the vaccine but that these patients are the sickest, and their
doctors insist they get a vaccination."
And according to HealthDay, Dr. Hank Bernstein, a member of the committee on
infectious diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said that "the study
has too many unknowns and covers too wide an age range over too many flu seasons
to indicate any change in recommendations."
Of course he said that. Where both of these doctors are concerned, it's a
classic case of CYB (cover your behind).
Joshi even admitted that they "don't know how effective [the vaccine] is" and
that "we may need to find more effective vaccines."
How's that for stating the obvious?
The fact that these vaccinated kids are three times more likely to end up in the
hospital is a serious risk that I would never want to expose my grandchild to.
And you shouldn't either.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Healthy "What Is It?"
Spotlighted today!
A little eaten food by the majority and most ask ?What is it?? when
told about it. "What is it" is called Bok choy and classified as a
cabbage. Some call it Chinese white cabbage, yet, bok choy bears little
resemblance to the round cabbages found in your supermarket. With glossy
dark-green leaves and thick, crisp white stalks in a loose head. Some
say its white stalks resemble celery without the stringiness, while the
leaves of the most common variety is similar to Romaine lettuce or
spinach.
The Ming Dynasty
pharmacologist Li Shizhen studied the Chinese cabbage for its medicinal
qualities. Before this time the Chinese cabbage was largely confined to
the Yangtze River Delta region. The Chinese cabbage as it is known today
is very similar to a variant bred in Zhejiang around the 14th century.
During the following centuries, it became popular in northern China and
the northern harvest soon exceeded the southern one. Northern cabbages
were exported along the Grand Canal to Zhejiang and as far south as
Guangdong.
Although bok choy was introduced to Europe in the 1800's, and is now
readily available in supermarkets throughout North America, other
cuisines have been slow to embrace it.
Bok choy is widely
popular in the Philippines, where large numbers of Chinese immigrated
following Spain's conquest of the islands in the 1500's. You'll
sometimes find bok choy replacing cabbage in pancit, a Philippine noodle
dish, and in kimchi, a Korean hot pickle made with garlic and red
peppers. Bok choy or pak kwahng toong also appears in Thai recipes.
However, you're unlikely to see a piece of bok choy enlivening your
Greek or Italian salad anytime in the near future. Ditto for ordering
bok choy soups or salads at the local fast food restaurant. While bok
choy is grown in the United States and several Canadian provinces, it
remains firmly associated with Chinese cooking.
Bok choy is gaining popularity that comes from its light, sweet flavor,
crisp texture and nutritional value. The yellow flowering center (head)
is especially prized.
There are more then twenty varieties of bok choy that have been
cultivated in China since ancient times. Bok choy is found in soups,
stir-fries, appetizers, salads, side, and main dishes. The smaller
varieties are valued for their tenderness. An added benefit is that
recipes often call for them to be cooked whole, reducing preparation
time.
Bok choy is nutritious in that it is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C,
potassium and calcium. Leaves are higher in vitamin content and flavor,
than stalks with a really mild taste, similar to Swiss chard or romaine
lettuce. Bok choy is one of those good-for-you vegetables that can be
eaten raw, quick-cooked, steamed, stir-fried, or boiled. When cooked,
bok choy stalks are tender but crisp.
Shopping for bok choy!
When shopping for bok choy avoid the plants with deformed stalks and
brown spots which indicate poor growing conditions. Yellow leaves and
very small stalks or bunches mean old product. Choose young, tender bok
choy no longer than 4-inches in length. Once harvested, bok choy
deteriorates quickly, so plan to buy and serve it within two to three
days of purchase. When you get it home, wrap the head in a damp paper
towel or an airtight plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator
vegetable bin.
To clean bok choy cut off the tough ends, fill your sink or a large bowl
with cold water, and swish the pieces to dislodge dirt and grit, but
don't soak. If the leaves are especially dirty, change the water once or
twice. Give the greens a final rinse under cold running water, then
drain.
To serve raw, cut the leafy parts off the stalk. Or toss chopped stalks
and leaves into a salad. You can also shred the leaves and turn them
into coleslaw. It will take longer to cook stalks (2-3 minutes) than the
leafy parts- approximately 40 seconds. You can also steam it whole, or
coarsely chop it and add to soups.
Stir-fried Bok Choy with Peanuts
INGREDIENTS:
4 bunches bok choy (basically, 1 bunch per person)
1/4 cups roasted unsalted peanuts (Cashews are great too)
2 thin slices ginger root
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1/4 cup chicken style broth
1 1/2 tablespoons Virgin Olive Oil for stir-frying
Wash the bok choy and drain. Separate the stalks and leaves. Cut the
stalk diagonally and cut the leaves across.
Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add ginger and stir-fry
briefly, for about 30 seconds, until the ginger is aromatic. Remove
ginger and add the bok choy, adding the stalks first, and then the
leaves. Add peanuts, stir in the soy sauce, and salt. Stir-fry on high
heat for 1 mdinute.
Add the broth cover the wok and simmer for about 2 minutes. Serves 4.

PS:
Sadly food alone
can yield all the necessary healthy nutrients, as they did in centuries past, so we can't rely
totally on our food intake, because of the lack of nutrients in our
soils and the pollutants added in the form of air pollution, pesticides
and fertilizers. Read the 1936 Report

Can Drugs
Treat Your Bone or Joint Pains or Injury?
©
By Lena Sanchez
With warm weather coming into full season in our part of the
world the Orthopedists begins a heavy season of treating injuries. Most
of them come from people suddenly deciding they need lots of
exercise and outdoor recreation after a winter of doing nothing.
Treatment of those injuries and pain means a lot of
prescriptions supposedly to alleviate that pain and swelling of joints
and/or tendon and muscle damage. It is a temporary stopgap with
danger at the end.
When given a prescription to alleviate and prevent the joint
pain will that prescription correct the problem? Chances are it
won't because it really isn't made to correct the problem but it
definitely can create bigger problems later!
Not only summer injuries create problems but bone and joint
problems - a multitude of reasons - is at the top of the list of
causes of disability in the U.S.. Sadly, our chemical laden
medical world treats symptoms not problems therefore are not
helping the problem.
According to medical experts one in seven people are
experiencing joint problems. For those over 65 years of age it
soars to 80% of people plagued with joint problems. There are
several reasons for these problems. Those are traumatic overuse
or underuse of the joints as well as poor diet, bacterial
infection or virus, immune deficiency factors and heredity all
playing a role.
Post World War II the pharmaceutical industry began to try to
mimic herbal medications by reproducing chemical drugs with the
properties that had in the past, in their natural state, rebuilt
the bones and joints thereby alleviating the problem. But their
attempt has been a dismal failure and creates more problems than
they solve. Of course that industry has tried to please the
Fast Food mentality that now exists, by giving fast pain relief
without curtailing the problem causing the pain!
The last few years has seen drugs like Vioxx and the likes of it
come on the market with devastating results and creating more
problems than they help. Then being taken off the market but
only after devastating illness, death and heart problems
occurred from them... Yet the pharmaceutical world continues
with the propaganda that they are helping joints, bones and
tendons, when they are really destroying them along with other
parts of the body!
Basic science tells us that our body regenerates itself when
given the proper tools to do so, but that has long been
forgotten and is rarely to never taught in our medical schools.
History also teaches that the proper nutrition can repair our
bodies as well. That too is being ignored by the bulk of
physicians and scientists. If regeneration was truly taught by
our medical schools the pharmaceutical companies could not sell
so many chemical laden body-destroying drugs, which line their
pockets with wealth. So it's no mystery to me why they would
not make something that works, it would drain their coffers?
Whether anyone wants to believe it or not medicine is a business
to those training our doctors!
Those who take their drugs must also bear some of the blame! A
sedentary lifestyles contributes to pain of joints and bones
sufferers or a sudden overexertion to a normally sedentary body.
The stiffness and soreness, due to inactivity, frequently start
as minor symptoms. Before too long, if not exercised the
stiffness leads to agonizing symptoms, which stop any kinds of
movements and propels you to the doctor's office. Where the rule
to regeneration is broken by the medical treatments offered.
Exercise has proven to regenerate the bones and joints but our
society has been brain washed to think that pain should stop you
from moving! So the get up and move, when joint pain hits in
order to rebuild them, no longer exists as in past generations!
Diet is another factor, especially as we age, more commonly poor
eating habits are found among people with joint and bone
problems. A diet lacking in fruits, vegetables, a balance of
minerals and omega-3 and omega-6 fats can lead to the production
of sticky, watery joint fluid that is unable to properly nourish
cartilage and other joint structures or flush out the toxins
that build up. It is important for people with joint and bone
problems to eat whole foods, including fruits, vegetables,
grains and nuts and drink plenty of clean, clear chemical-free
water. Take daily food supplements, especially minerals,
vitamins and Omega 3 laden fish or flax-seed oil, which will
help rebuild the immune system and help to absorb the nutrients
your body does consume in your diet!
A real and dangerous thing is happening in our medical world!
Have you ever known a person taking medications such as the
common NSAID's (ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, etc.) to
regenerate their bones and completely cure the problem? NOT! it
does not happen!
In the twenty years I worked in medical offices I only saw a
downhill spiraling of health problems that can only be
attributed to the drugs prescribed for an initial health
problem. On the other hand I have seen people go off all NSAID's
and corticosteroids and regain total regeneration of their
joints and bones, without a prescription! Myself and I and my
best friend included in that group.
Unfortunately traditional drugs play a major role in the
continuing decline of the joints and muscles. Once requiring a
prescription but can now be purchased over the counter to the
tune of millions of dollars lining the drug companies pockets.
If you are taking one of these: Aspirin - Orudis - Ibuprofen -
Tandearil - Aleve - Rufen - Bufferin - Datril - Indocin -
Nuprin - Asolid - Liquipen - Nafon - Butazolidin - Tylenol -
Oxalid - Advil - Tolectin - Excedrin - IB - Clinoril - Midol
2000. You are unknowingly headed into a downhill decline.
Warning: None of the above should be taken in conjunction
with herbal/nutritional supplements!
Although you may initially relieve the pain and cover the
symptoms with prescription or over-the-counter meds you are
accelerating cartilage damage and worsening your condition. You
may also begin experiencing any or several of the following.
Headaches, Diarrhea or Constipation, Drowsiness, Sore throat,
Sensitivity to sunlight, Dizziness, Ulcers, Ringing in the ears,
Nervousness, Kidney/urinary problems, Swelling of hands/feet,
Cramps nausea, Rashes, Hypertension, Weight gain and colds. All
are COMMONLY KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS from these drugs. Then one of
the major side effects noted only by the hospitals, is death.
More than 10,000 people die yearly from the side effects of
these drugs with hundreds of thousands hospitalized. The JAMA
(Journal of American Medicine Association) documented.
Your body was made to take in food -- not chemicals. Drugs are
unnatural to the body and create poisons to deplete the system
of nutrients, which destroy the body. They may also subdue pain
temporarily but these drugs are damaging to you. Clinical tests
have shown that arthritis and rheumatism are the result of
various nutritional deficiencies, but when was the last time
your doctor told you that your diet could make you healthier? In
order for the body to repair itself it must be fed the building
blocks that can restore it to the natural state. Along with
proper diet and exercise there are much-needed nutrients and
herbs that can regenerate and restore joints and bones when
taken over a period of time. True chemicals tend to give you
that "right now good feeling" that this generation goes
for but in the long run is ruining any chance of regeneration
and contributing to your downward spiraling health.
I wish you all good health and a long life to enjoy it!

If you live
in a city, chances are you inhale 17,000 pints of air that
contain about 20 billion foreign particles, including dirt, dust
and chemicals.
Most larger particles get trapped in your stiff nostril hairs,
according to The Incredible Machine. Smaller particles can make
it deep into your throat and bronchial tubes, where they are
caught in the lining of sticky mucus and are forced up by an
escalator of upward-sweeping hairs called cilia.
Particularly offensive particles
are coughed or sneezed out.
Most, however, are raised just high enough to be swallowed and
ultimately removed with other waste through the digestive tract.
So, now you know why you should cover your nose and mouth when
you sneeze or cough.
