As I prepare for the onslaught of family coming for the holidays I still feel today's ezine is really important to get out. Next week I will not have time to publish as the family begins to arrive on Monday and I want to spend as much time as possible with them, which will limit my research time! Enjoy your holidays and come back on 01/01/2010 for the next Natural Health Education Facts publish.

This week's "Food of the Week" is not categorized as a fruit but we, here in the U.S. look on it as a fruit. In other countries it is used as a medicine as much as for food. Enjoy and if you haven't tried it you should!

Something To Think About
============================

One in 10 women over 60 has an underactive thyroid gland. The condition can make you tired and depressed because your body can't use the energy it gets from food as well as it should. It's also a cause of weight gain. Not much better with the 40 to 60 women. When perimenopause begins so goes the thyroid.

Symptoms of bone pain and muscle weakness can mean you have a vitamin D deficiency. However, for many people, the symptoms are subtle. Yet even without symptoms, too little vitamin D can pose health risks. Low blood levels of the vitamin have been associated with the following:

*Increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
*Cognitive impairment in older adults
*Severe asthma in children
*Cancer

Research suggests that vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and multiple sclerosis.

~You don't consume the recommended levels of the vitamin over time. This is likely if you follow a strict vegetarian diet, because most of the natural sources are animal-based, including fish and fish oils, egg yolks, cheese, and beef liver.

~Your exposure to sunlight is limited. Because the body makes vitamin D when your skin is exposed to sunlight, you may be at risk of deficiency if you are homebound, live in northern latitudes, wear long robes or head coverings for religious reasons, or have an occupation that prevents sun exposure.

~You have dark skin. The pigment melanin reduces the skin's ability to make vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure. Some studies show that older adults with darker skin are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Aspartame Name Is Changed To Fool You

Aspartame containing artificial sweeteners have been linked to just about every unpleasant side effect such as; headaches, memory loss, seizures, vision problems, and cancer. It has been found to play a role in worsening or mimicking conditions like MS, ADD, fibromyalgia, lupus, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and depression.

Since we have worked to warn people of the dangers of Aspartame, the world's leading manufacturers of this sweet toxin is simply changing the name. Ajinomoto - the same Japanese company that gave us MSG - says the name "AminoSweet" evokes the "natural" amino acids used to create aspartame. But there's nothing natural about this stuff, which is so dangerous you shouldn't even be allowed to flush it down the toilet as it's actually turning up in the groundwater now!

FOOD OF THE WEEK

Strange shape, strange names, looks like a fruit but isn't a fruit!

I see these are back in the supermarket as they are in harvest mode in some parts of the world and shipped to us.
This strange pear/ball/grapefruit shaped thing is not a fruit I?ve eaten for years. It?s very new to our household but very tasty and healthy. I found out that this particular fruit carries names like; pomelo = pummelo = Chinese grapefruit = shaddock! Pronunciation: PUHM-uh-low - The French name for this fruit is chadec. The current Malayan names are limau abong, limau betawi, limau bali, limau besar, limau bol, limau jambua, Bali lemon, and pomelo. The names throughout the world are extensive and too many to bore you by printing them here but if you are interested in learning them Click Here

I'll call it a Pummelo as that is what the name on the box says... Pummelo is the largest of the citrus fruits with a shape that can be fairly round or slightly pointed at one end similar to a pear - the fruit ranges from nearly round to oblate or pear-shaped. They range from cantaloupe-size to as large as a 25-pound watermelon and have very thick, soft rind. The one I bought was sort of pear shaped and about 10 inches across... It is known in the western world mainly as the principal ancestor of the grapefruit The pummelo is popular in the Asia and is new to California but rarely seen in the Eastern United States.

It's sweeter than a grapefruit. The skin is greenish yellow and slightly bumpy with the feel of citrus skin; flesh color ranges from pink to rose.

The pulp is milder and sweeter than its closest cousin, the grapefruit. Pummelos are available mid-January through mid-February from California. Can be used in the same manner as any other citrus fruit.

Said to be native to southeastern Asia and all of Malaysia; It is said to grow wild on river banks in the Fiji and Friendly Islands. It is said to have been introduced into China around 100 B.C. It is much cultivated in southern China - Kwang-tung, Kwangsi and Fukien Provinces - and especially in southern Thailand on the banks to the Tha Chine River; also in Taiwan and southernmost Japan, southern India, Malaya, Indonesia, New Guinea and Tahiti.

The pummelo is also called shaddock after an English sea captain, Captain Shaddock, who introduced the seed to the West Indies in the 17th Century from the Malay Archipelago. The seeds produced fruit somewhat smaller than the current grapefruit, more like an orange. The size of the fruit and the fact that it grew in bunches or clusters like grapes prompted a 19th century naturalist to liken the new fruit to grapes, with which it has no botanical relationship whatsoever.

Some say the grapefruit is a cross between an orange and the pummelo (or shaddock), while others believe that grapefruit is a natural mutant (sometimes referred to as a small shaddock) derived from the seeds Captain Shaddock brought to the West Indies. I have no idea which thought is correct and feel that it doesn?t matter as the pummelo is nutritious, tasty and healthy!

Pummelo skin is also used medicinally in some cultures. For instance, in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, decoctions of the leaves, flowers, and rind are given for their sedative effect in cases of epilepsy, chorea and convulsive coughing. The hot leaf decoction is applied on swellings and ulcers. The fruit juice is taken as a febrifuge (reducing fever and vomiting). The seeds are employed against coughs, dyspepsia and lumbago. Gum that exudes from declining trees is collected and taken as a cough remedy in Brazil.

As for the nutrients in a Pummelo... There are many as with other citrus but pomelo/pummelo or whatever you call it is extensively used for medicinal purposes in Asian countries...

I prefer mine raw as it is very tasty, just slightly sweeter than a grapefruit with a very similar taste. I have been unable to find out the exact nutrients of Pummelo but I suspect they are somewhat higher than most citrus fruits in nutrient content.

It is well worth it!

NOTE: Sadly food alone cannot yield all the necessary healthy nutrients - especially balance of minerals - 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, herbicides and fertilizers important nutrients are almost nonexistent and we know the body is not capable of producing minerals with even the healthiest of diets, as it can vitamins, and must be obtained from our foods or daily supplemented... Click Here to understand why minerals are so important to your body's health!

Why Are Stomach Upsets So Prevalent During the Holiday Season?
© By Lena Sanchez

A simple answer is available but escapes 99.9% of the conventional medical world. Simple prevention and/or treatment is only a supplement away! The following information can treat and/or prevent bacteria or germs from ruining your holidays!

Sometimes it may mean only a small bout with diarrhea and then it's gone. Other times it can be severe stomach cramping along with vomiting that says you've been hit hard but you will live. Other times it may mean fever, flu like symptoms and serious consequences to the point of death in small children and aged.

One of the most common sources of Ecoli is eating undercooked meat. Ecoli outbreaks often occur during the summertime when many are enjoying barbecues, picnics and foods served at public carnivals and festivals, but they happen at all times of the year, you will shortly start to hear about through the news media. Happens every November and December!

Sadly the most often treatment given is antibiotics, a very risky treatment because that one step decimates the intestinal system which is already suffering from the toxins caused by whatever contaminate was introduced into the body.

The MISSING TREATMENT! Preparing your body to slough off germs and bacteria that comes its way. How to do that you say? How to treat?

Treating digestive bacteria or germs faster and better without antibiotics are;

1) Minerals balance to keep the heart and other organs functioning as they should. If the vomiting and diarrhea are really severe you may need to drop liquid minerals on pieces of fruit or vegetables until the body can hold food down. Read the ABC's of Minerals To find out why!

2) Add Probiotics to the intestinal track to help take care of the Ecoli naturally. This addition will overcome and kill the offending bacteria Ecoli or any other contaminate cannot take hold of your system when a balanced intestinal ecosystem exists. Better yet, have your intestinal tract so tuned up that Ecoli can't get access to it, preventing that illness. See why your Body's_ecosystem is important to your health

3) If you have gotten hold of the digestive bug or bugs treat after the minerals;- 2 tablespoons of Ionic Sliver Water morning and evening for two or three days, this is also known to kill offending bacteria while preventing the build up of candida/yeast even those that hide in the system that come out later and cause problems. With both these additions you can enjoy the holidays. Read what amazing things Silver can do!

Those three products should be kept in your medicine war chest (not in the bathroom cabinet) as they are the closest thing to helping the most number of illnesses and keeping the immune system tuned up to ward off all kinds of illnesses.

Now enjoy your holidays by being prepared!

There's even less time for humanity to try to curb global warming than recently thought, according to a new in-depth scientific assessment by 26 scientists from eight countries.

Sea level rise, ocean acidification and the rapid melting of massive ice sheets are among the significantly increased effects of human-induced global warming assessed in the survey, which also examines the emissions of heat-trapping gases that are causing the climate change.

"Many indicators are currently tracking near or above the worst-case projections" made three years ago by the world's scientists, the new Copenhagen Diagnosis said.

Nor has manmade global warming slowed or paused, as some headlines have recently suggested, according to the report, which you can see here.

The scientists also calculate that the world's emissions of heat-trapping gases must peak in less than 10 years and then dive quickly to nearly zero, if warming of more than another 2 degrees Fahrenheit above the current annual global temperature is to be prevented after 2050.

LENA'S COMMENT: I am fully aware that ostrich type people continue say it doesn't exit or they choose to ignore as they have been sold a bill of goods by those who don't want to put a penny into change. Look at past civilizations that have disappeared because they refused to change and ask yourself, "Why do I fight change?" The above is just the tip of the iceberg - the few that remain anyway- whole islands and coastlines are being evacuated as they are going water faster each year and some are already under water! If you've seen the pictures of Alaska's new and old glaciers look, or the pictures of South America's glaciers disappearance or looked at so many Islands that are preparing to be abandoned because of the sea rising so fast, or the coastal Louisiana lands that are now almost completely under water and the few remaining having to leave their lifetime homes, then the above makes sense...
