Has Your Doctor Told You THIS About Heartburn?

Heartburn drugs like Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec are known as proton pump inhibitors or PPIs.  They are prescribed to suppress the over-creation of excess stomach acid that washes back up into the esophagus. 

Consistent heartburn can result in esophageal cancer if it is not managed properly.  Despite what you have been told, heartburn drugs are not the answer.  The right answer is “change your diet.”

The risks of taking these drugs are multiple.  They can increase the risk of osteoporosis, a vitamin B12 deficiency and pneumonia. A vitamin B12 deficiency specifically, especially in the elderly, can cause anemia, fatigue, depression, dementia and irreversible nerve damage.

A new advisory now warns that long-term use of PPI’s (for more than one year) can also cause a magnesium deficiency.  Magnesium is an important mineral responsible for helping the heart to stay healthy, blood pressure regulated, kidneys working properly, muscles and bones to stay strong and keeping fatigue and headaches at bay. 

When magnesium is deficient in the body, it can cause muscle spasms, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), tremours and seizures.  Tremours in the elderly are frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s, leading to unnecessary treatments and admission to a nursing home.

Many blood pressure drugs also cause low magnesium.  Couple those with a heartburn medication and you have an even higher risk of major problems.

If you are taking a heartburn drug, wean yourself off of it and change your diet to solve the problem.  Never stop a drug without first consulting with your primary physician.

If you don’t want to change your diet and absolutely refuse to part with your heartburn drug, at least take a high quality mineral supplement every day with a minimum of 600 mg of Magnesium.  It’s your body so it’s your choice and just my opinion because I don’t have heartburn.

Note to Parents

In the 1972 “Additives Book” by Beatrice Trum Hunter, she referred to red dye # 3 as a cause of hyperactivity in rats. 3 years’ later, this theory was also found to be true in children and applied to ALL food additives.

40 years’ and hundreds of studies later, our children’s brains have suffered immensely. Instead of eliminating the food colourings and additives from their diets, we have chosen to put band-aids on their ADHD problems instead with Ritalin and other angerous anti-psychotics

Stop feeding your kids fake fruity drinks, gummy worms and all the other foods containing these additives. Read the labels and then save your child’s brain. If you don’t, they will be incapable of taking care of you when you are old.

Do What You Love

Back in the 80’s, I purchased a book entitled “Do What You Love and The Money Will Follow.”  I still have this little book.  25 years later, I’m still waiting for the money but I certainly love what I do!  That’s the first secret to success and I finally got that part right.

My current read is Napoleon Hill’s The Law of Success, Volume IV. One of the 16 lessons is called “Cooperation”.  Among other things, it talks about people doing the type of work that harmonizes with their true nature.  When that happens, the best in them will come out and they will excel at what they are doing. 

The chapter also laments the fact that most people never find the work for which they are best-suited and makes them the happiest.  They generally die with most of their dreams still unfulfilled. 

Too often, most people choose their life’s work based on the fact that it will pay them a decent wage and cover the bills.  Many others are pigeon-holed into an occupation simply because it is all that is available to them and suitable to their current qualifications.  That’s so sad.

Unfortunately, true success will always elude these people.  They will never experience the happiness and enjoyment which comes to those who do the work that they like best.

Take me for example.  Early on in my career as an office worker, I knew that I was better-suited to something more meaningful and true to my inner nature and personality.  I was highly-motivated to make money, to be the boss and run my own show. 

At one point, I would be working at a job and then quit to set out on my own.  That business would fail so I would fall back on employment only to be thrust out into the business world again trying my hand at yet another venture.  Too many times I tried and failed to be a success.  If I told you how many jobs and businesses I had on my real resume, you would be flabbergasted.

When the internet became a common household must-have, I took to it immediately and started my search for success on another level. All that office education and experience would soon pay off.  That was back in the late 90’s, about the same time that I experienced my first taste of natural health and healing.  Something clicked inside of me.  All those years and years of searching have led me to where I am today…..a lot more broke but wiser and very happy with what I do.

When I was young, I remember saying many times over that I wanted to be either a teacher or a doctor.  Now I am both. Better late than never I say.  The big money is not forthcoming quite yet but I continue to practise my craft and help the world to enjoy a healthier life.  The money will show up any day now.  I just have to keep believing, taking action and loving what I do.

Fat Creep

With everything that is happening in the world, whether it is legitimate or a diversion, the thing that I am watching the closest is the disaster in Japan.  Even though I live on the other side of the world, it may still have an adverse effect on me. 

I am keeping on top of the natural news highlights that I am receiving frequently.  Their reporting is much more accurate than that from our local news stations or CNN.  Those stations only report what they are told and invariably, it is never the complete truth.

There are also a couple of radio shows that I listen to whose information and reporting I trust.  That is why I quietly did a few things in order to prepare for what may be around the corner.

The results have been surprising to say the least.

When the reactors first appeared to be in trouble, I loaded up all our water bottles and large containers and stored them in a cool place.  If the radiation happens to get swept up in the jet stream and carried this far into Canada then it will surely contaminate our lakes and rivers.  Even a tiny bit of radiation is never safe and scares me.  If that doesn’t happen then I will have lots of water ready to go for watering my plants and garden in the Spring.

I did ignore the recommendation to purchase Potassium Iodide.  Since it is a chemical and I am against all that stuff, I decided to purchase something natural that wouldn’t be harmful.  I put a few drops into juice in the morning and now I expect to be safe from any radiation poisoning.  I might be a bit paranoid but I found that this stuff had a big benefit!!

I have lost weight and feel great plus I haven’t changed my diet!  In fact, last night, I ate fish and chips, a big no-no.

Since I do Live Blood Analysis, I know that I don’t have a thyroid problem.  Even though I started back exercising regularly, I have struggled lately to curb my cravings and take some weight off in anticipation of squeezing into my spring and summer clothes.  It just wasn’t happening.

Quite often, a sluggish thyroid can hold you back from losing unwanted pounds and regaining that svelte person that you used to be.  Since I am no longer young, I have what’s called “fat-creep”.  It has crept up on me oh so slowly over the years.  Instead of being diligent and taking it off as it was put on, I have let my weight go up slowly.  I am not obese by any means but I can certainly see a pudgy face when I look at recent pictures of myself.  Forget putting on a bikini!

In the face of disaster, there just might be a ray of hope for those of us who are not as thin as we would like to be.  By taking a natural thyroid remedy like Bladderwrack in order to prepare for this possible imminent danger, you just might be pleasantly surprised.  Maybe I’m delusional but I prefer to think that I am onto something.  I’ll keep you posted.

I Participated in Shaping the Future!

This past week, our daily newspaper ran a full-page ad for the local hospital.  In big, bold letters, it blared “Help Wanted”.  They were asking for the public’s help in shaping the future of the hospital by filling out a survey.

Not one to slink away from the opportunity to express my opinion, I clicked on the survey and proceeded to fill it out. 

First question: “What are the most important things that they need to address?”  The question I really wanted to answer was “Should we have spent several thousands of your hard-earned tax dollars on this ad?”  They could have asked for our help in a smaller, less-expensive ad.

Getting back to the question, I could pick as many answers as I wanted.  The list included “a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff”.  That’s always helpful when you are standing in the triage line-up but I’ve never had an issue there.  There was also ”balanced budgets with no deficit”, “shorter wait times for various tests and treatments” and “preventing hospital infections”.  My favourite was “higher staff morale.” I didn’t choose that one though.  If you are not happy in your job, that shouldn’t be my problem.  There are lots of unemployed people who would love to make $30+ an hour and enjoy doing so.

The next question involved a scorecard with areas highlighted in green, yellow and red.  Green were the areas where the hospital was performing well and red were obviously the poor ones.  Where they are excelling is in EMS offload, surgical safety checklists and timing of the initial physician assessments. That means that the paramedics are doing a great job dropping you off, the surgical staff is doing what they are supposed to do before they cut off the wrong leg and there might be more than one doctor on duty in the ER.

The areas highlighted in red where the hospital is failing miserably were plentiful and alarming to me. These include incomplete performance reviews, patient safety issues such as hand sanitizing, C-difficile and MRSA break-outs, a high incidence of pneumonia and re-admissions. 

As far as the performance reviews, I’ve participated in and conducted many of them over the years through my HR experience.  They are an integral part of being an employee and are important for staffing purposes.  This is also the opportunity when you express your concerns and also find out how you are performing.  Maybe that’s why the staff morale is so low. No one is listening to them. Unhappy people also make many mistakes and that’s scary in a hospital environment.

The part about the hand sanitizing made me angry.  As recently as the early 1900′s, the medical community couldn’t figure out why a high percentage of women were dying in childbirth.  They finally realized that the doctors were not washing their hands before delivering the babies.  They would go right from performing an autopsy to the delivery room.  You would think that hygiene habits would have improved after 100 years.  Not so.

Here’s a little advice for you:  The next time you are in the hospital, speak up.  If a nurse or doctor approaches your bed and they haven’t washed their hands, ask them to do so before they touch you. Don’t be shy.  If you can’t speak for yourself, have someone do so on your behalf.  It is appalling to me that they go bed-to-bed and don’t wash their hands in between.  The excuse of being too busy doesn’t wash with me.

Concerning the high rates of pneumonia in patients, there are a few facts about that too you should know.  Most people think that the patient has just caught a bug or a chill.  That’s not the case.  The type of pnemonia that is fatal to many people in the hospital is the type where food goes down the wrong way and gets lodged in the lungs.  This occurs from feeding patients who are highly medicated and not able to swallow properly because they are not awake.

When my Dad was in the hospital, he was basically in a medicated coma sleeping most of the time.  One day, the nurse came in and asked me if I had been able to “shove some food into him.”  I was still attending alternative med school so I was not as aware as I am now.  I was smart enough though not to allow them to feed him when he was sleeping.  As a result, he never contracted pneumonia like so many others do.

Next on the list of questions was how they can improve tracking and reporting of patient problems.  Possible solutions included suggestion boxes, email or resolution by the Patient Resolution Office. Suggestion boxes have gone the way of the dinosaur and just the fact that an entire dept. is dedicated to this shows they have a lot of problems. The dept. is obviously not working, so close it.

The section about Community Engagement focused on getting the community involved in the decision-making and quality processes.  Since when does the healthcare system listen to the input from the community?  It is a great idea in theory.  In reality, when it really comes down to it, they don’t listen to us at all.  They found that out this week when no one showed up for their meetings.  I wonder what they learned from that?

The next section dealt with regional specialties and what is most important to the community.  The list included services for the elderly, low income people, services that smaller hospitals can’t handle and those services needed within an hour’s drive. 

Obviously, my first choice is for the elderly since I have a lot of experience in that area and it wasn’t all pleasant.  Our city also has the second highest population of seniors in Canada and they need help.

A recent issue of Macleans magazine reported how our elderly are not being cared for in our hospitals the way that they should be.  I have been saying this for years. Ask a senior if they want to go to the hospital.  Most times they will refuse because their friends walked in and either came out in a wheelchair or not at all.

Finally, there was a wish list.  If I had $1M, what would I spend it on.  The list was long – cancer, diabetes, long-term care, cardiac care, after-hours clinics, etc.  There was also “Other” and this is the category I chose.  Of course, I had to add my comments so that they knew what I was referring to.  What else?  Prevention…..Natural health…..Helping people to stay healthy and out of the system for as long as possible.

Healthcare is the name of the system.  Sickcare is the reality.  Our hospitals are wonderful when you are in a crisis situation.  If you are in a car accident, our Doctors are the people you count on.  God bless them.  They will do a fantastic job putting you back together.

When it comes to keeping you well, that is another story. You may very well end up right back there again.  The hospital got a red mark in that area too.

When a hospital is putting out a survey like this, you know that it is in big trouble.  The patients aren’t happy and the staff morale is low.  The budget is in the red and there are too many bosses and not enough workers.  Whenever there is a crisis, they always lay off the most important people in the hospital – the nurses. 

Since I have been in our hospital a few times with a family member, I thought I could still contribute some decent opinions. What I discovered was that I felt that the survey was an expensive joke and is not going to solve today’s healthcare problems in our city or any other for that matter. 

Not until we take responsibility for our own health and the doctors and hospitals get out of bed with the pharmaceutical industry, will we ever have a system that works. 

It’s just my opinion but, what do I know?  I’ve never been a patient.

This is a Sad Story

When I was almost 14, my Dad got a promotion. He worked for the railroad as an Engineer and was moving up into management.  If ever someone loved what they did for a living, it was my father. This new job also meant that we would have to move from our hometown to a place 1500 miles away and somewhere that we had never been.

That first move started me on a path of 4 high schools, multiple cities, towns and homes around Ontario.  I’ve had quite the life and gained many friends and experiences along the way. 

I still like to keep in touch so, thanks to the internet, I read two newspapers online daily.  Yesterday’s paper revealed something to me that was very disturbing so I wrote an email to the person who put the article together.  Her reply to me was exactly what I expected.

There is a 13-month-old baby involved in a dispute between the hospital in one city and the parents who live in another.  These are the two cities where I lived and whose papers I read. This baby is very ill and on life support.  The hospital wants to remove all breathing apparatus and feeding tubes which is so common at the end of one’s life.  The parents are agreeable except that they would like to take their baby home to die rather than him being in a hospital two hours away.

The hospital has refused.  This is, however, not the fight I want to get involved with.

My question to the writer of the article was why there was no mention of what had happened to the baby other than the fact that he had experienced several seizures before lapsing into the vegetative state that he is currently in.

His sister had also suffered the same fate and is now deceased.  Having had no children myself, I cannot imagine the anguish and pain that this family is going through.  It is terrible beyond belief and my thoughts and prayers go out to them.

My experience in natural medicine had the alarm bells going off immediately as I was reading this story.  On a daily basis, I receive multiple emails and articles about health issues from both sides of the fence – natural and mainstream medicine.  Recently, one of them was an interview with a regular MD who stated that it is very common for babies or young children to have at least one seizure in their life.

What???  I don’t know about you, but I have never had a seizure and neither have any of my friends or relatives. 

What I have had are a lot less vaccinations than the 30+ that our children are getting today.  This was the question that I posed to the writer of the article. 

Was there any consideration that the boy was in this condition due to the many vaccinations that I know he has already received?  She replied that neither the doctors nor parents discussed what may have caused his condition except to say that it was “genetic”.  That’s an easy word to throw around even though the condition doesn’t exist in either of the parents or in any older generation.

The parents were not born and raised in our country so I am sure that they would never consider that coming to the other “land of the free” would cause their child any harm.  The doctors and hospitals would never mention it either since that is a huge lawsuit can of worms.

I replied to the writer’s email this morning and thanked her for the prompt response.  I also told her that I had already expected the answer that she gave to me. 

I may be totally off-base with this one but I’m not alone.  I’m not the only one who thinks that we are killing our children.

What’s Lurking Under the Melting Snow?

We live in an area of Canada that has winter pretty much from November until April.  When you live here, you have to accept the fact that it is cold and snowy for at least half of the year.  Even though I would rather live in Florida, I appreciate the change of seasons here and the variety of weather that we get at different times.  I have always felt that the cold weather makes us a little hardier health-wise. 

My favourite time of year is Spring.  When the snow melts and the temperatures warm up, the birds start to chirp and all the little baby animals start to reveal themselves.  The trees bud and the flowers start to poke through the soil.  Since it is only February, we are not there yet.

Where we are is in the middle of a February thaw.  After weeks and weeks of steady snow and frigid temperatures, the weather has warmed up sufficiently to melt off a lot of the snow.  The roofs are all dripping and the snowbanks are diminishing in size. We also have warnings posted for the rising rivers and lakes in the area. 

This morning when I went out I discovered the disgusting side of this weather. 

There were cigarette butts everywhere in all the tiny, remaining snowbanks.  It was a sight for sore eyes to say the least.

I am against smoking for a number obvious of reasons.  First of all, I am in the health business so I know the dangers of smoking.  I think that anyone who smokes is nuts.  Lung cancer and emphysema are very nasty diseases that I would not wish on my worst enemy.  Emphysema runs in my husband’s family and you literally drown in your own fluids. 

Unfortunately, I learned my own lesson a little too late.  I was a casual smoker off and on for 20 years.  It wasn’t until I stopped going to the bars that I totally gave up the habit.  A number of years later, I was diagnosed with a mild case of COPD and was furious as I had not smoked for some time. 

We had been bowling in an establishment that, at the time, was still designated as smoking.  Every week, I would come home and have pains in my chest.  That was 11 years ago and I have not had any problems but it is still something that lurks in the back of my mind.  I avoid smokers at all costs.

So, besides the health risks, there is also the fact that the tobacco companies add 4000 chemicals to the tobacco.  My favourite is cyanide which is used in a gas chamber.  What idiot willingly puts that into their body?  They are all obvious cancer-causing agents but no one seems to care about that either.  Don’t forget too that the tobacco industry is a huge money-maker for the government.  The healthcare system (or sickcare system as I like to call it) also thrives on the revenue from all the dumb people out there who continue to smoke and ignore all the warnings.  At $10 a pack, only an insane person would fork out that much money.  Sorry for calling you so many names but you know I’m right.

Getting back to the butts on the sidewalk, I couldn’t believe how many there were.  It was a solid line of small butts and half-smoked butts that went all around the building and the parking lot.  Now some poor custodian is going to have to get out there and clean them all up.

If you want to be stupid and smoke your brains out, don’t go flicking your butts on the sidewalk.  Put them in the receptacles that are provided for you around your building.  Your disgusting habit is making our world more ugly than it already is.

Why Should I Listen to Your Pitch?

I am new to the online networking and forum game.  I’ve done a lot of face-to-face networking over the years, which I was initially not comfortable with, but I persevered and now quite enjoy meeting new people. I have not actively done much online networking however.  It is a whole new world that I didn’t really know how to get into….until now. 

The suggestion came in last week followed by the right email with different sites recommended.  That got me started and now I am a networking fool!

There is just one thing that gets my goat that I don’t understand.

If you are not a prospect for me, why should I be a prospect for you?

I look at every profile of every person who has greeted me.  I also look at those that happen to appear on the page I am currently on.  So far, that’s not a lot but at least I want to give someone the same courtesy that I hope they are showing me.  The only problem is that some of the profiles have this big message about how they are not a prospect for anyone else’s product or service because they are happy with what they are doing.

I can certainly appreciate that because I don’t want to be spammed with every offer under the sun either.  As well as business partners, I am looking for life-long friendships. 

I am in the health business and have a legitimate, “brick-and-mortar” type business in my home.  It’s cheaper to run my office there rather than renting another location.  I also sell some products, both from my distributors and my network marketing contacts. 

You just might have something that I haven’t seen before so I promise to be open to looking.  Health products are only one category of the many, many things that are for sale today.  It is only one aspect of my life too so you may just have something that will either complement my business or will better my lifestyle in general.

As well, I am a member of the Global Information Network.  It is a private member’s club that has an affiliate program attached to it much like in network marketing.  I am looking for other like-minded people who would like to be a member and benefit as much as I have. 

If you don’t look at my opportunity and I, in turn, don’t look at yours, we are going to go around and around in circles and never attract any new people to our businesses.

So, if you want me to look at your stuff, you need to lighten up and look at mine.  One day when your business goes south and you are looking for a new company, I may not want to work with you.  Ask me how many of my companies went in that direction……

We need to support each other.  It can’t just be about you.

The Best MasterMind Group Anywhere

Leaders: Identify yourselves.  Do you mastermind and share ideas with each other?

Napoleon Hill talks about the Master Mind in his book The Law of Success in 16 Lessons.  He identifies a Master Mind as a means by which a person can gain knowledge through the harmonious alliance of two or more minds.  Out of this alliance grows the Master Mind. 

The benefits of a Master Mind are plentiful.  It will unlock doors which would otherwise be closed.  Outstanding success will also appear in any business or profession if the principles are applied. 

Being in a Mastermind Group with like-minded people will provide you with the help and support you will need in your growth towards realizing your dream.  At the same time, you will be helping other members of the mastermind group to reach their dreams as well.

The group will also keep you accountable for your actions and going in the direction of your dream.

The finest international mastermind group in existence today is GIN.  The Global Information Network is for those who want to get personal development, training and growth beyond any program available to the public.

The training and events included are absolutely free to members, making this a very unique life tool.  Tens of thousands of dollars of actual training and programs are available to members at no additional cost including a lifetime membership in NaturalCures.com and all their functions, at no additional cost.

A Master Mind group is so powerful that the possibilities are unlimited. Its strength will also remain in effect as long as there is a friendly alliance between the individual minds.  If this alliance becomes broken, the Master Mind will then disintegrate and disappear.

You will never be successful alone.  Find a Master Mind group and become an active member.  Can’t find one?  Try GIN.

January Dirty Bits

One of my current favourite songs on the radio is called “The Time” by Black Eyed Peas.  It is a mash-up of “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” from the movie Dirty Dancing and a totally different, more up-to-date song composed by the Peas. 

What links the two pieces of music are the short lyrics “Dirty Bit”. The result, in my opinion, is a brilliant piece of musical composition.  

If you are unsure what I am talking about, or are not familiar with the current Top 40 hits, you can watch for its performance during the half-time show at the Super Bowl game on February 6th.  I am betting that the Peas will open the show with this song accompanied by the cast of Glee.

 

Anyway, I have stolen their idea.  I feel that “Dirty Bits” is an appropriate title for this week’s health information.  I am listing the dirty little secrets that Ihave learned already this year……and 2011 is only 2 weeks old.  It is up to you whether or not you make use of what i write but always remember that I genuinely care.  Heed the warnings.

 

1.  A Little Sweetener with Your GMO:

 

We all know Aspartame as that little sweetener found in many sugar-free products like diet pop, puddings, gum and candy.  Common names on labels are Splenda and NutraSweet.

 

GMO’s, on the other hand, are genetically-modified foods in which the DNA of plants is changed.  (They are also experimenting on animals.)  This alteration is created to resist disease and eliminate the need for pesticides. 

 

Common GMO’s are soybean, corn, canola, tomatoes, sugar beets, sugar cane, rice, papaya and multiple others. 

 

The concept of GMO foods seems smart enough but only when it comes to a longer shelf life and big profits.  By exposing these foods to the radiation and chemicals required to make the changes, it also alters the genetic material and makes them unsafe for consumption.

 

Aspartame + GMO’s = the makings of a health disaster.

I recently discovered that Aspartame has been created from a genetically-modified bacteria since the late 90′s.

 

That’s big bad news for anyone who thinks they are saving calories with sugar-free foods.  

 

2.  Cancer Triumph or Tragedy?

 

According to a recent CBC News report, researchers are “this close” to developing a new blood test so sensitive that it will be able to detect one small cancer cell in your body. They will finally be able to find that proverbial needle in a haystack.

 

Don’t be so quick to jump for joy though.

 

It’s a great discovery…..but only for those people who make money from the cancer “industry”.  It basically means that they will be able to get you in sooner for treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and various drug treatments.  As much as you don’t want to know this, the treatments will kill you faster than that one cancer cell.

 

 This testing is being developed strictly so that cancers can be detected in their infancy stage and the appropriate treatments can be started earlier.

 

We all have cancer cells in our bodies at various times.  The body easily eliminates them when you are healthy.  They only develop into tumours when your body becomes too acidic.

 

3.  You Don’t Know FluMist

 

Have you noticed the TV commercials lately for this new flu vaccine?  It is now easier for you to get your flu shot and FluMist is making that possible.  No more needles for all you scaredy-cats.  You can now “take it up the nose” and be protected painlessly.

Don’t be fooled though.  Look closely at the ingredients of this new miracle vaccine before you get in line.

 

Under “Other Ingredients”, the first one listed is Monosodium Glutamate, the same MSG flavour enhancer that has been taken out of our Chinese food.  If it is not good enough for our Chinese buffet, why then is it good enough to snort up our noses?

 

If you decide to get the FluMist vaccine, don’t forget to ask for the fortune cookie.  You’ll need a good one.  This vaccine is more dangerous than you will ever know.

 

4.  Need Estrogen?

 

Bisphenol-A is the estrogen-mimicking chemical that is in our plastic water bottles and the linings of many food cans.  It has been all over the news for months so you are likely already aware of it and taking the necessary steps to eliminate the chemical from your life.

Not so fast.  It is somewhere else that you haven’t even considered.

 

BPA is also used as a coating on our ATM and other cash register receipts.  It is primarily used to protect the paper from being marked in other ways.

 

Where else is it lurking….on our food wrappers, boxes, cartons…..on your hands?  Buyer beware!

 

5.  How’s Your Heartburn?

 

The prescribed medications for the “disease” acid reflux, better known as good old heartburn, include Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid.  Many of you are taking them regularly.  I want you to know that they now come with a warning that they may make your bones brittle and subsequently cause fractures.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but drugs will surely hurt me. 
 
6.  Who Eats This Stuff?
 
McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets have over 30 ingredients in them.  Most of them are not listed on their posted ingredient list.  Quaker Peaches and Cream Instant Oatmeal has no peaches.  They are dehydrated apples with red dye #5.  Betty Crocker Carrot Cake has no carrots.  Yogurt-covered raisins are not coated with yogurt and a container of Shrimp Cup O’Noodles contains no shrimp, just the flavouring.
   

Most packaging on the grocer’s shelf is misleading and there are things in your food that you are not being told about.  Don’t buy this stuff and certainly don’t eat it.  Next time you go to the grocery store, carry a magnifying glass so that you can read the labels!

 

So, What Should You Do?

 

1.  Take control of your own health.  You don’t need “healthcare”.  You need your own care.  Take charge.  Make wise decisions.  Be aware.

2.  Don’t take a prescription drug unless you are in a crisis and need immediate help.  Don’t rely on them for health issues that can be managed in more natural ways like diet. 

3.  Read labels.  Avoid GMO’s and processed foods that include chemicals, preservatives and dyes.

4.  Avoid vaccines.

 

Don’t give away your body to the system.  Live the life that is good for you and refuse everything else.
