Alzheimer’s & Prevention

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Alzheimer’s is slowly progressing every day among our old.  For most parts they say there is nothing anyone can do.  The Powers That Be, that is.  Well for me I believe there is a cure out there for it, just that folks today aren’t doing things that need doing.  Below are three things that if done would pretty well eliminate this terrible thing called, Alzheimer’s.  The last one, number three should be looked at real close.  If you don’t use your brain it is going to just shut down.  Things one should and could be doing is, Puzzles, Writing Poems, Problem Solving, anything that makes the old mind work.  Not easy things either, as that is what the problem is today.  Folks don’t use their minds for anything, they rely on others to do it for them.  Not a good thing folks, so get that mind and body to working.  My Opinion Only

#1) Avoid processed foods
This may seem obvious, but besides nitrates, many processed foods are loaded with neurotoxins like MSG and aspartame that may be linked to Alzheimer’s. Processed foods also contain toxins like trans-fats and refined sugar that compromise your health. Stick with whole, organic foods and your #1) Avoid processed foods

#2) Install a home water filter
Most municipal tap water systems are treated with chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals that harm your health. These chemicals are easily absorbed by your skin when you take a shower or drink unfiltered tap water. (Does anybody really do that anymore?) A whole-house activated carbon filtration system will remove most or all of these toxins from tap water. risk will be significantly reduced.

#3) Exercise regularly
By exercise, I’m talking about both physical and mental exercise. Physical exercise directly contributes to increased brain function because it reinforces neural connections in your brain, which in turn improves memory and learning capability. Mental exercises such as working on crossword puzzles will also help to keep your cognitive function in top shape. (Use it or lose it, folks!)

Oil In The Gulf Of Mexico

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

You know for years now I have been saying that this off shore drilling in the Gulf is a disater waiting to happen.   Thing is this isn’t going to be cleaned up in a few months, it is going to take years and then some if it recovers at all.  With all our technology today isn’t it a shame that so much has to be lost because of the all mighty dollar.  Oil continues to spill out of the sunken rig wreck at the rate of 5,000 barrels a day. So far, there’s little hope of stopping it.  On another note one should remember that every toxic chemical, heavy metal and pharmaceutical that’s flushed down the drain ends up getting dumped into the Gulf, kind of like our Great Lakes, so now add this on to the oil, well……… lets just say it isn’t good.  Especially since 50% of the seafood one eats comes from the Gulf Of Mexico.  Even without the oil is it any wonder why so many folks are getting sick these days eating the fish that comes out of the Gulf.   Some call this progress, I call it down right stupidity.  My Opinion Only as usual.  Click On Link below to see how large the oil spill is, as of today and steadily growing larger.

Looking After Our Own Should Come First

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

You know certain things come along in E-Mails that sometimes need to be put out there.  This is one that came to me the other day. It is right along my way of thinking so thought I would share.

We’re “broke” & can’t help our own Seniors, Homeless, Veterans, Orphans, etc. ?????
This is so pathetically true…in the last month we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey.
Our retired seniors living on a fixed income receive no aid while our  government and religious organisations pour hundreds of millions of   dollars and tons of food to foreign countries.
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make  room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
Why are so many CANADIAN citizens, and the CANADIAN government,   so star struck they won’t provide for our own?
CANADA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed meds,   and mentally ill without treatment -

yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if we gave ourselves the same support that we gave all other countries.

I feel bad for them but I also care about CANADA.

One has to remember that we have to look after ourselves first.  Why? Some ask.  Well simple, if we don’t,  the time will come we won’t be able to help anyone.  My Opinion Only

Disciplining Childrend Today & Yesterday

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

You know years ago when us young ones did something wrong a trip to the old wood shed would be in order.  Today though, things has changed, and instead of headin’ off to the wood shed to be disciplined, we now put them on Prozac or some other drug. Or who ever was doing the discipline would be hauled up in court.  Thing is, with all these new modern ways of handling problems, kids of today are worse off than before.   Kind of makes you think doesn’t it.   Now don’t get me wrong I am not  into beating a youngster, but a smack on the behind now and then if he or she is doing something wrong, in my eyes isn’t a bad thing.  My Opinion Only.

Vaccinations For Diseases Like Mumps

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

No w here is an article that folks should be paying attention too, as it explains what is really happening when folks get these so called vaccinations.

To hear the vaccine pushers say it, all the recent outbreaks of mumps and measles are caused by too few people seeking out vaccinations.  It’s all those “non-vaccinated people” who are a danger to society, they say, because they can spread disease.

Reality tells a different story, however: It is the vaccinated people who are causing these outbreaks and spreading disease!
Just this week, an outbreak of mumps among more than 1,000 people in New Jersey and New York has raised alarm among infectious disease authorities. The outbreak itself is not unusual, though. What’s unusual is that the health authorities slipped up and admitted that most of the people infected with mumps had already been vaccinated against mumps.

Just what I been saying for years by the way.   My opinion only

Handing Out Tax Payers Dollars Where Ever

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Hey George, What do you have to say on this comment?

The Ontario government is coming to the rescue of pensioners of Nortel Networks Corp., one year after the iconic Canadian telecom-equipment maker sought court protection from its creditors.

Hmm I kind of think that this comment in today’s news should have said.  Tax payers dollars are being taken by the Ontario Government and given to Nortel.   Just amazes me the kind of society we live in today.  Meaning that governments think all the money that they manipulate through taxes and things belongs to them, and them alone.  They feel they can just do what ever they so choose with it. Things is though, they are doing just that, and have been getting away with it from the beginning of time.   Myself I think we should take a step back about a hundred years, take in what went wrong, get rid of governments and start over.   Another problem is that these so called Powers That Be, have gotten folks minds so twisted, that a lot of the people of today really believe what is happening is the right way to go.   Not only governments though that is messing things up, there are a lot of others contributing to our downfall too, all connected though.    Amazing.

Some things sure get me going, must come with age, you think?   Had my say guess , will go and have a tea.   My Opinion Only

On Your Next Trip To The Grocery Store You Might Want To Take Some Extra Care.

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Thought this bit of information might make you take a bit more care of what your eating these days.  Now don’t get me wrong, I didn’t stop eating all of them totally, but I did cut back quite a bit let me tell ya.  Take A Look.

1) Sodium nitrite — causes cancer, found in processed meats like hot dogs, bacon, sausage. Used to make meats appear red (a color fixer chemical).

2) Hydrogenated oils — causes heart disease, nutritional deficiencies, general deterioration of cellular health, and much more. Found in cookies, crackers, margarine and many “manufactured” foods. Used to make oils stay in the food, extending shelf life. Sometimes also called “plastic fat.”

3) Excitotoxins — aspartame, monosodium glutamate and others (see below). These neurotoxic chemical additives directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock. They’re found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage and even many manufactured vegetarian foods. They’re used to add flavor to over-processed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them.

Did you know, for example, that:

  • Feeding children hot dogs increases their risk of brain cancer by 300%?
  • Strawberry yogurt, fruit punch and other red-looking grocery products are often colored with dead, ground-up cochineal beetles? The ingredient is called “carmine,” and it’s made from insects. It’s listed right on the label of many of your favorite foods.
  • Food companies now “hide” MSG in safe-sounding ingredients like yeast extract or torula yeast?
  • Many Florida oranges are actually dipped in an artificial orange dye in order to make them more visually appealing? It’s the same dye that’s been banned for use in foods because of cancer risk.
  • Girl Scout cookies are still made with hydrogenated oils that contain trans fatty acids?
  • Many so-called “healthy” or vegetarian foods also contain the very same offending ingredients as conventional groceries?
  • Eating just one serving of processed meats each day increases your risk of pancreatic cancer by 67%?
  • One artificial color additive causes behavioral disorders in children? And that 80% of children diagnosed with ADHD can be outright cured of the condition in two weeks by avoiding certain ingredients?
  • The #1 ingredient in Slim Fast meal replacement shake (powder form) is sugar?
  • Some guacamole dips don’t even contain avocado? Instead, they’re made with hydrogenated soybean oil and artificial colors.

Everything I’m sharing here is absolutely true. It’s all quite shocking, yes, but this is information you need to know if you want to feed yourself — and your family — foods that actually promote health instead of disease.

H1N1 vaccine to Mexico Question

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Hey George, what do you think of us giving the flu shots to Mexico?

Now here is an interesting question.

What they like you to believe is that we are helping Mexico out with loaning them these flu shots.  In reality though, I kind of think folks here in Canada are getting smarter and realizing that these shots are doing more harm than good.  What we have here is a major surplus which we can’t get rid of which in turn cost us tax payers millions of dollars. Now don’t get me wrong, the government really didn’t have any choice in buying the shots as they are controlled by huge corporations.  Also there is a lot of folks out there that honestly believes in the flu shots and would have made one heck of a stink if they wouldn’t have bought them.  These are the folks in my eyes that rule the world.  Lets say, for now, as times are changing, people are changing and one way or another we all will have to change.  This world will look after itself, believe me.  Many years ago the dinosaur was the supreme being, what happened to them?  Right now I really believe we are heading in the same direction, as if we don’t stop this craziness of taking all these drugs, using all these pesticides and bringing in all this Generic seeds and things to grow our food, well,  it isn’t good my friends.  We can still change things I believe, but it will be hard.  We have to start depending on ones self, listening to ones inner feelings and simply put, do what is right.  Here is the article in the paper today or a piece of it that this question arrived from. My opinion only

Canada is lending, not donating, five million doses of the H1N1 vaccine to Mexico – and the federal government remains mum on what it will do with its expected surplus of the pandemic drug.
