OPENING LETTER

Summer is over for most of us, and fall is in the air. A great time to detox and clean up our diets to avoid getting the flu and colds. After cutting out the junk food, alcohol and excess sugar, I would suggest drinking some detox teas, you can find them in your health food stores. You can also take a day or two and just drink vegetable juices, fruit juices, and soup broths. This is always a good idea now and then. Another detox that is good for your liver and gallbladder is to mix 50-50 organic lemon juice and organic olive oil and drink it down first thing every morning. Begin with a teaspoon of each and work up slowly over the period of two weeks until you are taking an ounce of each (two tablespoons). Keep that up for about another two weeks. If anyone has a colon that is constipated, that is one thing you want to clear up without delay. Use the Colon Support Formula, it is not habit forming and it is not a harsh laxative; it will help heal the problem over time.

Want to avoid colds and the flu? Use Quantum Colostrum, Therazyme SmI and Therazyme Opt, and or perhaps Quantum Noni. I use them daily as a preventative. And if I should be around people who are ill, I take more for a few days. The result? I don't even get a cold, and never the flu.

One last thing, when detoxing, or when ill, drink plenty of pure water. Actually, if you drink plenty of pure water daily, you will avoid a lot of health problems and feel better, have better energy.

Many blessings,

Health Care in America:

12,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery

7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals

20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals

80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals

106,000 deaths/year from nonerror, adverse effects of medications

These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes. Three caveats should be noted. First, most of the data are derived from studies in hospitalized patients. Second, these estimates are for deaths only and do not include adverse effects that are associated with disability or discomfort. Third, the estimates of death due to error are lower than those in the IOM report.1 If the higher estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000. In any case, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. Even if these figures are overestimated, there is a wide margin between these numbers of deaths and the next leading cause of death (cerebrovascular disease).

If Men Got Pregnant!

Maternity leave would last 2 years, with full pay;
Men would stay in bed during the entire pregnancy;
All methods of birth control would be 100% effective;
Natural childbirth would be obsolete;
Newborns would stay in the hospital until toilet-trained;
Morning sickness would rank as the nation's number one health problem;
Briefcases would be designed to double as diaper bags;
Paternity suit would be a fashion line of women's apparel.

SOME MORE HEALTH TIPS:

***Q. I was asked as a result of last month's letter "What is the best way to cook egg and meat?

A. Soft boiled, medium boiled is alright too, just don't hard boil, and do not fry, but you can cook it sunnyside up, just do it on a low to medium temperature, you should not hear anything sizzling. You can also poach it. When you cook eggs or meat or any animal food at too high a temp you change the fats in such a way as to cause cholesterol and other problems. It is very hard for the body to deal with fats that have been heated at a high temperature. Protein too changes at a high temp. So cook meat at a low to med temp in the oven, in stews, on top of the stove, just don't burn, blacken or fry it. You can also cook a piece of meat at a high temp, such as broiling it, for a very short time, but you have to like it red inside. If you trust the meat (red), the rarer you cook it the better. Fish, turkey and chicken should be well done though.

***Here is a health tip in the form of a testimonial:

Please send six more bottles of Nutripak Thyroid. Although I haven't gotten my temperature up to normal yet, I am dropping almost a pound a week, on average. I have dropped 10 pounds since I started, and I am five pounds under my set point, which is really a miracle. -- Joanna F.

***Feel fatigued, anxious, have headaches, or feel unsure about your life? Try meditation. Begin with a visualization and relaxation of your body. Practice deep breathing. Then keep your attention focused in the middle of your forehead, between your eyes. Keep your attention there with the intention of allowing divine energy to enter your whole body, clearing away what isn't you, healing you, and bringing within your consciousness the answers and information that you need to be healthy, happy, and successful.
