A Letter from One of Our Readers:
Dear Mr. Long,
I have been a student of natural healing and health for
31 years. Eight years ago I learned about juicing fruits
and vegetables for a healthy life style. I did not do any double
blind studies on using carrot juice and apple for colic and
ear infections. My granddaughter was born April 4th 1997.
She could not tolerate mothers milk, goats milk, or Soy.
My daughter finally settled for a predigested formula Nutramigen.
My granddaughter could tolerate this somewhat. She cried
almost 24 hours a day and then the ear infections started.
The doctor wanted to put tubes in her ears but her mother
refused to allow this. My daughter switched to almond milk
which seemed to work a little better. I then remembered
reading in Dr. Norman Walker's book on fruit and vegetable
juices that carrot juice was good for colic. We started giving
her carrot and apple juice, and presto no more colic and
no more ear infections.
Let me say in closing that I discontinued using Canola oil
after reading the article on your web site. We had used this
oil for several years. Out with the Canola and within 24 hours
my gums began to clear up. I had suffered for years with gum
infection and loose teeth and was preparing to have my teeth
removed. After going off Canola oil the gum infection stopped
and I think I can save most of my teeth. Now no bleeding at all.
I lost 3 lower teeth because of the condition of my gums, but
expect to keep the rest due to the information you gave.
Keep up the good work.
Yours for Health,
Tom Porter

This is a good time a year to be feeding the animals
and birds on your property. They need to fatten up
for winter. We put out sunflower seeds for the birds,
squirrels, chipmunks, etc. We also put out the extra food
scraps. The raccoons, possums, and skunks each find
something for their liking.

Natural Progesterone Therapy, Hot Flashes, Thyroid
Women do not need to subject themselves to
the dangers of estrogens, premarin and the like.
I hear all the time from women who are very happy
with the results of Dr. Peat's Natural Progest E oil.
Hot Flashes disappear, PMS disappears, headaches
disappear, and very importantly they do not need to
use estrogen anymore. Dr. Peat's Progest E Oil is
the answer to PMS, menopause, too long, and too
short cycles. It is safe and non toxic. It is also inexpensive.
We sell it at Long Natural Health for 29.95, and one bottle
lasts months. It can also be used for painful joints. Natural
Progesterone is also used to beautify the skin. It helps to
eliminate age spots and wrinkles.
It also works very well against fibrocystic breasts.
It is important to use it against uterine fibroids and
ovarian cysts, for these are signs of excess estrogen.
But importantly, in most of these cases,
natural thyroid should be taken as well.
Dr. Peat's approach to hot flashes is to use
thyroid, protein, and salt until their temperature is
normal. Salty beef or lamb broth, taken in the evening
helps while waiting for the protein and thyroid to take
effect. The pulse should be 80-85. He says aspirin
will minimize the hot flashes, but obviously you do not
want to take too many aspirin or rely on them. Salty fruit
juice or milk/honey can be used at the same time, and
these snacks help with the irritability. He says evening
irritability is an indication of the need for thyroid.

Important tips on staying safe:
SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD BE AWARE OF!!!
PASS THIS ON TO THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT.
Great tips on staying safe.
I have to share some things I have learned in my
job with you.
In my job, I review criminal and psychiatric files
of imprisoned sex offenders who are approaching
their release date. I decide if they are likely to
re-offend based on certain criteria and then civilly
commit them to a sex offender treatment facility if
I decide that they are at significant risk to re-offend.
I have read hundreds and hundreds of files, and
have taken note of some of the mistakes women
make. Let me preface this by saying that a woman
is NEVER EVER EVER at fault for being raped
or attacked, but there are definitely ways to reduce
your risk of being a victim.
Here are the most common mistakes women make that
could result in them getting kidnapped, attacked, and/or raped:
1. Getting into the attacker's car when he pulls
a gun and orders you to get into his vehicle.
Most attackers don't want to shoot you ... they
want you to get into the car so that they can drive
you to a deserted place and torture you. Don't comply.
Run screaming. It is MUCH more likely than not
that he will just move on to an easier target.
2. Pulling over when a man drives alongside of
you pointing at your car pretending something is wrong.
If this happens, drive to the nearest well-lit and
populated gas station and look the car over yourself
(or ask an attendant). Never pull over. Believe it or not,
many women have fallen for this for fear of their car
spontaneously exploding in the middle of the road.
Not likely.
3. Not locking your doors while driving.
I have read several cases where the attacker simply
walks up to a woman's car while she's at a traffic
light and jumps in with his gun or knife drawn.
4. Opening your front door when you have not
positively identified who is there.
If you don't have a peep hole, get one. I've seen
countless cases where the attacker gains access
to his victims simply by knocking on their door.
Don't let an attacker get into your home. He then
has a private, relatively soundproof place to attack
you.
5. Not being alert in parking lots.
If you go to the grocery store at night, don't be
shy about asking for an escort to your car.
Too many women are abducted from parking
lots or even raped in the parking lot.
Look in your back seat before entering your car.
Cars provide endless hiding places for attackers,
both inside them and in between them.
Be aware of your surroundings by looking to the
left and right and behind you with your head up
all the time. You may appear paranoid and look
funny to others, but an attacker will think twice
about approaching someone who appears so
aware of what's going on.
6. Trusting a clean cut, honest looking stranger.
I see mug shots of every sex offender in the state
of Florida. They do not look like monsters.
They often look like they could be your friendly grocer,
bank teller, waiter, neighbor, clergy, doctor, etc.
They are every age between 15 and 90, and probably
beyond. Only a small minority actually look scary.
I just read a case yesterday of a man with only
one leg who beat up his victim with his crutch
before he raped her. Who would have ever
thought that a one-legged man could be a rapist?
7. Trusting people to be alone with your
children.
This is a difficult one, because child molesters
end up being the LAST person the parents
would believe is the molester. Most of the
child molesting cases I see involve the stepfather,
the uncle, the sister's boyfriend, the mother's
boyfriend, the grandfather, the baby-sitter,
the neighbor, the family friend, the youth camp
director, day care worker, etc. Although rare,
even women can be molesters.
In every case, the perpetrator is a nice guy,
trusting, good with children, and the family is
baffled or even in disbelief that the person
could be abusing their child.
When it comes to your children and grandchildren,
be suspicious of everyone, no matter who they are.
And pay attention to what your child says and how
he/she reacts to the mention of different people
in their lives.
I didn't mean to make anyone uncomfortable with
this, but I am at work right now reviewing files, and
realized that this email is a way I can reach many
women at one time. I have the dirty job of reading
all these files, and it makes me feel good to know
that I can share some inferences from what I have
learned. This is not an exhaustive list of what not
to do, but just some things that I have observed
more than just a few times.
Pass this on to the women in your lives.

Found this is April issue of Time Magazine:
"Consuming wheat germ, sardines, whole grains
and other foods high in vitamin E may protect your
heart better than taking vitamin E supplements.
A study out last week found that women whose
diet was naturally high in E were more resistant to
the presence of dangerous oxidizing chemicals in
their blood than were those who took vitamin pills.
It seemed that the supplements blocked some of
the benefits of vitamins found in food."
For years I have been warning about the dangers
and uselessness of taking most vitamin supplements
being sold today. My advice has been: eat good
organic whole foods and take natural whole food
supplements, you will be far ahead of those who
follow the commercial 'natural health advisors' who
keep pushing synthetic, chemical, isolated, 'vitamin
supplements'. At Moonlight Health I try to only sell
high quality natural whole food supplements, they
cost more, but who can put a price on health?
Getting ill and wrapped up with doctors costs a
fortune on every level, therefore it makes good
sense to give your body and your family the best
food, water, and supplements available.

Here is a good story passed onto me by a
wonderful friend:
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have
recently completed my college degree. The last
class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher
was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I
wish every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called "Smile."
The class was asked to go out and smile at three
people and document their reactions. I am a very
friendly person and always smile at everyone and
say hello anyway, so, I thought, this would be a piece
of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my
husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's
one crisp March morning. It was just our way
of sharing special play time with our son. We
were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all
of a sudden everyone around us began to back
away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch...an overwhelming feeling of
panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why
they had moved. As I turned around I smelled
a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing
behind me were two poor homeless men. As I
looked down at the short gentleman, close to me,
he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were
full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins
he had been clutching. The second man fumbled
with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I
realized the second man was mentally deficient
and the blue eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them. The
young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they
could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the
restaurant and warm-up, they had to buy something.
He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great
I almost reached out and embraced the little man
with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes
in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every
action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the
counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a
separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the
table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I
put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue
eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me,
with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said,
"I did not do this for you. God is here working
through me to give you hope." I started to cry as
I walked away to join my husband and son.
When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said,
"That is why God gave you to me, Honey. To give me
hope."
We held hands for a moment and at that time we knew
that only because of the Grace that we had been given
were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we
are believers. That day showed me the pure Light
of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of
class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project"
and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me
and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she
got the attention of the class. She began to read
and that is when I knew that we, as human beings
and being part of God, share this need to heal
people and be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at
McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and
every soul that shared the classroom on the last
night I spent as a college student. I graduated
with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much
love and compassion is sent to each and every
person who may read this and learn how to LOVE
PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS
AND USE PEOPLE.

Some Wise Thoughts as they were emailed to me:
"An Angel wrote:
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but
only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head, To handle
others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss
events; Small minds discuss people.
God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not
throw it into it's nest.
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a
friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are acts of nature, but
beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live
long enough to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically nothing, but so few
people can hold it.
