Local Press Releases * Home * News * Local Press Releases * Boil water advisory issued for Port Loring Boil water advisory issued for Port Loring

Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr Jim Chirico has issued a boil water advisory, effective immediately, for all residents and properties of Port Loring that are on the communal drinking water system. This advisory is due to a pressure loss in the drinking water system.

A boil water advisory means that people who take their water from the municipal system should not drink the water, use it to brush their teeth, or use it to wash foods, such as fruit and vegetables, which will be consumed without cooking. Water should be brought to a rolling boil and allowed to boil for one full minute. People should ensure that water used for cooking comes to a full boil. Otherwise, the water is safe for bathing and washing clothes.

According to Dr Chirico, “There is no evidence of bacterial contamination; however, tests are being done.”

Health Unit staff are working with Ontario Clean Water Agency in Port Loring and will continue to monitor this situation. The acting medical officer of health will notify the media when the boil water advisory has been lifted.

For more information, call the Health Unit at (705) 474-1400 or 1-800-563-2808. For technical questions, please contact Ontario Clean Water Agency at 472-9671.

Cervical Cancer Vaccine, Think Before You Act

Well for years now I have always said that a lot of our doctors have their minds set in the right direction so that they want and do help us humans.  Thing is some don’t, a lot don’t but every once in awhile a good one happens our way.  Take a look at this article that came out just today.   Speaks for itself.  My opinion only.

One of the key researchers involved in the clinical trials for both Gardasil and Cevarix cervical cancer vaccines has gone public with warnings about their safety and effectiveness. This highly unusual warning against these vaccines by one of Big Pharma’s own researchers surfaced in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express in the UK over the last few days. There, Dr. Diane Harper openly admitted the vaccine doesn’t even prevent cervical cancer, stating, “[The vaccine] will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all.”

This is astonishing news. The whole push behind the cervical cancer vaccines is based on the belief that they prevent cervical cancer. That belief, it turns out, is a myth.

Dr. Harper also warned that the cervical cancer vaccine was being “over-marketed” and that parents should be warned about the possible risk of severe side effects from the vaccine. She even concluded that the vaccine itself is more dangerous than the cervical cancer it claims to prevent!

Natural Medicine At Its Best Beats Pharmaceutical Meds Any Day

Well this is the time of year to get busy and make up your medicine from nature.  I got quite a few things on the go here this year. Comfrey Oil and Liniment, Plantain Oil,   Calendula Pedal Oil, Sumac Leave Oil and Liniment, Birch Leave Oil, Cedar Liniment, Cinquefoil Oil & Liniment and lots of other leaves drying for later like grape leaves, raspberry and white birch and all kinds of herbs.  Thing is folks one should be looking after ones self now a days, it’s not hard either, one just has to have an open mind and make some time.  My old friend Grey Wold used to say every time I seen him back at his cottage in the bush.  Knowing things does not come from learning things, it comes from remembering.”

To Much Of A Good Thing Isn’t Always Good For You. Protein.

The thing one has to remember is we need protein that is for sure, but the protein we don’t need to much of is from meat.  As…. certain proteins coats cancer cells and the bodies defences can’t get at them to eliminate them.  If that happens we get sick. Only the protein from meat does that.  Sure we need some meat protein, as us humans are meat eaters, but today we just eat to much and that is where problems start to happen.  So, were do I get the protein I need without eating meat.  Well I put this together so hope it helps.

Here are some examples of vegetarian foods with high sources of plant protein:
PROTEIN IN LEGUMES: Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lima beans, Navy beans, Soybeans, Split peas
PROTEIN IN GRAINS: Barley, Brown rice, Buckwheat, Millet, Oatmeal, Rye, Wheat germ, Wheat, hard red, Wild rice
VEGETABLE PROTEIN: Artichokes, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green peas, Green pepper, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Mustard green, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnip greens, Watercress, Yams, Zucchini
PROTEIN IN FRUITS: Apple, Banana, Cantaloupe, Grape, Grapefruit, Honeydew melon, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry, Tangerine, Watermelon

Prostate Cancer, Natural Treatment To The Rescue

You know, there are a few items that kind of makes us men sit up and take notice that maybe, just maybe, we should have done a few things differently through out our lives, when it comes to eating properly and things like that.  One is Prostate Cancer.  The good thing is there is alternatives out there for a fellow to try and I suggest you take them in earnest before under going the conventional treatments with chemo, surgery and things like that.  Take a look at this.

A Friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer, with a PSA [Prostate Specific Antigen blood test] of 350 [‘normal’ is 4 or less]. After he had decided to do the prostatectomy [cut out the prostate,] I suggested that before the operation, he try rosemary. The regimen was one teaspoon of dried rosemary mixed with applesauce, taken three times per day. He did indeed. Luckily his operation was postponed for some time because the doctor had a conflict. He took the regimen for three weeks.

Before the operation he was scheduled to have a follow-up PSA. The PSA came back at two (2)! They cancelled the operation, thank goodness, and did another biopsy. Came back negative. The doctor attributed this sudden change of results as a ‘lab error’ (both the original PSA, and the original biopsy!).  Anything to say that natural medicine isn’t the way to go.   Rosemary evidently was the primary constituent for his change in status. This was one year ago. He continues the regimen, and his PSA is still two (2)!!  How simple is that.   On another note, good healthy eating is a good prevention in itself too.

Good Water, Straight From Mother Nature

Here is a bit more on good, well or spring water, thought I would share. Remember, don’t be fooled by this bottled water as most of it has either fluoride or choline in it.  Also where it comes from is another thing.   Hmmmmm.

Anyways, over half of your body is made up of water. It’s in every cell and every tissue. Biological processes like circulation, digestion, absorption and excretion depend on water. It forms the foundation of blood and lymph, maintains hearty muscles and young-looking skin, lubricates joints and organs and regulates body temperature. You can’t function without it.

As you grow older, it becomes vital to pay attention to your water consumption. Mature persons hold less cellular water, with a loss of 10 to 15 percent of previous capacity by the age of 65. A contributing factor is the loss of thirst sensitivity. Because water is so important for digestion, a lack of fluid in your body might make it more difficult for you to digest food. You may suffer from cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, diveritculosis or even colon cancer. Drinking more water, combined with a high-fiber diet, can prevent these problems.

To combat this loss of fluids, the answer is simple. Drink more water, good water. Six to ten glasses of pure water each day are necessary to enhance your body’s functioning. Beyond helping your digestive system, getting enough fluids will give you fresh skin, clear eyes and shining hair. Signs of hunger may be a warning flag that your body is need of a good drink. Try consuming several glasses of water before diving into a snack to see if that takes care of your craving. Because fruits are largely made up of water, they are perfect choices for a mid-afternoon treat.

My Opinion Only.

Water Directly From Mother Nature, Cures All

An old time item my old Grandfather told me about one time which relates to water, brought me to adding this to my Blog.  I really believe that if folks got to drinking good … healthy water each day, meaning no chlorine, fluoride or you name it, in it, just plain good healthy well water, it would solve over half of the  problems folks are having today with cancer and other things.   Amount one should be drinking for good health?  Take A Look. And Oh! Might pay if you live in the city to take a drive in the country some nice sunny afternoon and look up someone that has good well water and make a deal on getting it from them.  Price you pay for good water isn’t to be taken lightly.  My Opinion Only.

Drink 1/2 your body weight of water in ounces, daily.  Example 180 lb (ca. 82 kilogram) = 90 oz (3.4 kg). Of water daily. Divide that into 8 or 10 oz (0.38 kg). Glasses and that’s how many glasses you will need to drink, daily. Use 1/4 tsp. of salt for every quart of water you drink. Use salt liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt.  Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks. These are diuretics and will dehydrate you. Every 6 oz (ca. 227 gram). Of caffeine or alcohol requires an additional 10 to 12 oz (ca. 454 gram). of water to re-hydrate you.  Some say, hey, I got  high blood pressure and that salt might not be a good thing.  I say use a good brand of sea salt and not to worry about it. The body is mostly water, and salt anyways and drinking the required amount of water flushes it  out of your system so you naturally need more.  Again My Opinion Only.

Cancer Treatments & What You Should Know

Here is an article that says it all when it comes to treating Cancer.  Only take a minute to read it and if you are thinking like I am, I am sure you will see the rightness in it.  Take A Look.

Did you know that many people have absolutely no fear of cancer? Some people, if they were diagnosed with cancer, would go home and celebrate that they were not diagnosed with something serious.

So why do some people have a great fear of cancer and others consider cancer to be nothing more than a minor nuisance?

The answer to this phenomenon is information. Some people have good information about cancer and others have bad information about cancer. It is the bad information which causes great fear.

Every human being has cancer cells in their body. Most people don’t even know they have cancer cells because their immune system safely and easily kills their cancer cells as they form. In fact, as long as there is a balance between the number of new cancer cells in their body, and the strength of their immune system, they will never “get cancer.”

Cancer is caused by an imbalance between the number of cancer cells in the body and the strength of the immune system. Either there are more cancer cells than there should be or their immune system is too weak, or both.

Natural cancer treatments, also known as “alternative cancer treatments,” do three things:
First, they safely get rid of cancer cells by gently killing the cancer cells.
Second, they strengthen the immune system.
Third, they fix the “inner terrain” of the body to make the body hostile to cancer cells.

Mission accomplished, the person has their balance restored and they are “cured” of their cancer.

These people have received good information and they have been cured of their cancer.

Now let us talk about orthodox cancer treatments. Chemotherapy destroys the immune system. Rather than building the immune system, chemotherapy destroys the immune system and somewhat destroys the person’s ability to digest foods. This makes the imbalance between the number of cancer cells and the immune system even worse!! The person becomes dependent on chemotherapy for life because they have no immune system, assuming they live very long.

One of the great deceptions of orthodox medicine is that they can put people into “remission.” You can rest assured when a person’s immune system has been destroyed they will never be able to truly be in “remission.” Their cancer will always come back because the balance has not been restored.

All of this is why alternative cancer treatments can have a 30 times higher true cure rate than orthodox cancer treatments. Alternative cancer treatments TARGET cancer cells or they do no harm to non-cancerous cells. Thus, alternative cancer treatments can be used in much, much higher doses than orthodox cancer treatments and thus they can be far more effective.

Mother Nature knows how to CURE cancer (i.e. restore the balance)!! In fact, Mother Nature has put more than 400 different ways to cure cancer on this planet!!

So why doesn’t the media ever tell the truth about these 400 cures for cancer? Can you spell: “m-o-n-e-y.”

The media makes many billions of dollars every year for providing intentionally deceptive information about cancer. It is this vast fortune that drives the media to intentionally provide totally false information about cancer to the general public. In fact, the truth about alternative cancer treatments is totally blacklisted!!

Most people assume, without thinking, that business executives have integrity. This is not true. Business executives are chosen because they are interested in saving profits, not humanity.

The pharmaceutical industry, which makes highly profitable chemotherapy drugs, pumps many billions of dollars a year into television advertising. These billions of dollars a year are more important to the owners of the media than human life. Yes, not everyone cares about human life.

This discussion about information explains why, in spite of the vast superiority of alternative cancer treatments, more than 99% of newly diagnosed cancer patients begin their cancer treatment with orthodox cancer treatments!!!  What a darn shame.

PH The Human Body

Thought You Might like to take a look a pH Chart which shows the pH in certain things. Give you a bit of an idea on how it works.  A little-bit of prevention, is better than waiting till it’s too late, I always say.

ph-chart

At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live!

What!!! Anti psychotic Drugs, Darn, What Is This World Coming To.

Just ahead of this article  I have entered one of my stories from my first book, called Style Of A Country School Teacher. Through out the story you will find ways the teachers and parents dealt with young ones back when.  Might say, a drug free approach of dealing with our young ones. Better read it, as I don’t do it very often.

I was asked what my thoughts were on these antipsychotic drugs that these so called Powers That Be say is good for our children.  I say this, administer it to yourself for a  year or so and see what it does to you.   Picture this, some teachers throughout the USA and Canada now, along with a number of other folks telling the world that these meds is  necessary, who are they to do such a thing. No one knows how the brain works, no one, it is an uncharted area which should be allowed to grow drug free all on its own. They say that the children aren’t paying attention in school, that they are disruptive, and it effects other children so they can’t learn.   Again I say this.  Kids are kids and doing exactly what they should be doing.  Sure some might be a bit different than others, but pumping drugs into ones brain sure isn’t the awnser.  Figure this, they are prescribing drugs for  children only four years out of the mothers womb.  Unbelievable. I gotta’ say these drug companies sure have got older  folks brains messed up to be doing this.  It boils all down to this folks, money, money, money.  These drugs that folks take out on the street is a threat they say.  The drugs that doctors prescribe you is fine, some hardley tested at all.  Most of the drugs that doctors prescribe is addicting too, along with hundreds of side effects but that is OK.  Kind of makes you think doesn’t it, well darn it, it should. I figure it this way. I would bet that if 95% of all the prescription drugs, vaccines you name it was never brought to being we would have been a lot better off.  I really believe that  our bodies if had been left alone would have built up immunities to most all diseases as they were doing before these drugs were made.  Folks, if we intelligent humans don’t start to speak out, we will soon be a walking drug company. It has to stop, and soon, so get over your fear and start doing something about it. Sure you will run into a lot of folks that doesn’t agree, but hey, you are entitled to say your peace and you are also able to stop what drugs you are taking, or putting into your children’s bodies, at least for now.  I say this in ending.  If nothing else, take a look at  what is happening, do the research and don’t let these Powers That Be and big companies, fool ya into their way of thinking.  We need doctors, teachers, lawyers, the media and thousands of others to stand up for what is right.  They know what is happening, they surely do, some even took an oath to help folks, just that they have had their words throttled, so they can’t speak up. But it is changing,  more doctors and folks in Power are slowly stepping up to the plate and doing what is right.  Some talk about wars and how bad they are.   Sheesh!!…. I say we are in one right now and problem is, most folks don’t even realize it or don’t want to recognize it. Most drugs doesn’t make you better they makes you need more drugs.  My Opinion Only as usual.

What Some Folks Don’t Want You To Know

You know there is a lot of folks out there in to-days world that think growing your own medicines is down right crazy. Some don’t even believe that foods have anything to do with health at all.    In my mind that is like covering up your eyes and not wanting to see the light.

I would have to say that the medical authorities today  is heading in the wrong direction when it comes to the health of us humans.  Being a farmer for a lot of years, has given me a look at what I believe shows just how fresh food can help restore one’s body and keep one healthy. Our body is an amazing thing if one takes the time to really sit down and think about it. Eating fresh homegrown items or good organic items is the way to go.  Our body even knows all on its own just how much we need to eat and automatically shuts down the urge to eat certain foods when it has enough.  It doesn’t need a pharmaceutical company telling it how much to eat or how much to take, no sir.  All we have to do is trust in the process of being a human being  and enjoy the togetherness with nature.  It’s actually called a Protection System and works great if left alone to do its job, as our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years before us has done.  They never had anyone preaching to them what they should be eating or not eating and I got to say they did quite well considering.  They just took what they needed and ate it no questions asked.  Amazing huh?  One just has to put their trust in Nature not in medicine of today as in my eyes it is making us sicker by the minute. Sure there are a few that have helped us and will continue to help us, but one should be looking at alternative ways before, not after the fact.

I believe that our body was designed to survive and thrive in an all natural setting, as if not, you wouldn’t even exist today.   Nature knows best my friends.  One just has to look at the facts.  Modern medicine has only been around for around fifty years or so, that’s not long at all, but good old Mother Nature now she has been around for longer than we can even comprehend. So there you go, my bit on what is happening out there in to-days world. I know I keep harping on this subject, but I feel it’s important, and there is nothing that gives me more contentment and satisfaction than to see you folks waking up each morning, wanting and able to get out there and enjoy your day.  So  ya, I will keep on trying to get my point of view across to ya for as long as I can.  My Opinion Only

Genetically Modified Seed Corn Now In The Food Chain

Boy these folks that do these things sure must think a lot of us humans are just plain dumb. Hmm … Thing is anyone in their right mind should be able to see exactly what has been happening.  And what would that be?  Simple, they are just using us for Ginny pigs and what better way than to just say.  Oh darn! We shipped the wrong product, sorry. Take a look at this article.

A Swiss company accidentally sold unapproved genetically modified seed corn in the US for four years. The mistake resulted in about 133 million kilograms of the corn making its way into the food chain.

Thing is folks, through my eyes no genetically modified anything is good for you, simple as that.  Just one more thing to add to the extinction of humans as we now know them.   My Opinion Only.

If You Don’t Take Care Of Your Body, The Alternative Isn’t Nice.

You know I have found that most folks look after their car more than they do their own body these days.  They make sure they faithfully change the oil and things, but when it comes to themselves, they throw anything into it.  I know it’s hard, as most folks today work 24-7, and when they get home at night or a weekend off, they just don’t feel like cooking. But thing is folks, you are going to have to make time, either that or get very sick.  Eating right in my eyes is about the best investment you can do in life and it’s never too late to start.  Take all the toxins and heavy metals, like aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and uranium, just to name a few that finds their way into one’s body every day.  Not to forget all the pesticides and things the Powers That Be say isn’t going to hurt you, that is sprayed on your lawns, fruit and veggies.  Man, it’s sure no wonder why folks are getting sicker and sicker and sicker these days.  So … what should one do?? Well for one, you should be taking the time to cook your own.  Buy only food that is grown organic and make darn sure you also know where it comes from. Avoid all off shore things, or most, as their regulations are quite different from ours.  For myself I grow my own, but if I do buy from other places it will only be from the USA.  Reason being the earth, water and things they have there, are the closest things we have to our own here in Canada.  A few items one should be eating to rid your body of things that are hurting you, are, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, I said tomatoes twice on purpose, and the best I saved for last.  Good old Garlic, raw, grown here in Canada, or in your own garden.  There is nothing better. Garlic contains the antioxidant allicin, which is formed from alliin and allinase when the cloves are crushed. Garlic helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol while cleansing the liver. Offering health benefits when consumed in raw versus cooked or aged, Garlic has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties.  Doctors, Powers That Be, and Pharmaceutical companies aren’t the answer for good health, you are. So there you go, a bit of advice that I recommend, if you don’t, well the alternative isn’t good.

Corn Silk For Good Health

Well with summer on the way, here is another healthy item that most just throw in the garbage.  For most parts, folks just eat the corn, but through my eyes the corn silk is even better for you, especially for anyone with a bladder, kidney, prostate, yeast, kidney stones or urinary problem.  Yep Good Old Corn Silk and so easy to come by this time of year too.  You can even dry some and make a tea out of it, cut it up and sprinkle it over a salad. I do both, but I also enjoy chewing on it when it’s real tender, better than any gum out there.  Also dry some on the counter and put in paper bag for winter, never know when a health problem might arise.  But don’t wait for a problem to arise, have a cup or two once a week, preventative maintenance is the best way to go.

Corn Silk Tea
2 cups of boiling water
2 tablespoons fresh or dried corn silk

Sweeten to taste, that’s all there is to it.  Enjoy the summer!

Folks Are Literaly Dying Because They Won’t Open Their Eyes

You know over the years of watching ones behavior patterns  there is one  thing that I have noticed.  Smart people are literally dying of diseases that are easily prevented by just eating right.  Some doctors are dying from cancer who takes chemotherapy over vitamin D supplements.  Others are literally killing themselves with junk foods which causes diabetes.  Lawyers, Judges Physicist’s, some of the so called smartest folks in the world completely ignore the basics of health.

So how come so many smart people are unaware of good healty eating? That vitamin D prevents cancer and influenza. That aspartame kills your brain cells. That processed meat (beef jerky, bacon, sausage, pepperoni) contains cancer-causing coloring chemicals designed to make the meat look rosy fresh.

Well the answer is, the agriculture companies depend on nutritional ignorance in order to keep selling their processed ingredients to food companies, which then turn around and sell those nutritionally-depleted products to consumers. Media companies depend on the advertising revenues from the promotion of junk foods and junk beverages, and drug companies depend on the revenues from all the diseases caused by the widespread consumption of all those products.

So the fix is that folks have to become aware of what is going on around them.  They have to start seeking out good  foods and not listening to what the so called Powers That Be is telling them.  They have to as I keep on saying: Take back the reins, and take the blinders off.  You either do it or you die and right now a lot are doing just that.  Dying.  What shame.  My Opinion Only. Literally

Acid Drugs & What They Do

For over  twenty five years the doctors of today have said I need to be taking acid drugs like Prevacid.   I started taking tagamet years ago then changing as time went by.  Thing is I never got better, only worse.  Then one day last fall I came upon a remedy from an old native friend of mine and decided to try it. Well low and behold I got better and I am now not on any medicine or should say prescription drugs at all.  I did have some withdrawals going off the prevacid but in time that stopped too. I was determined to stay off them and today no more acid, aches and pains, nothing. I know now if I would have stayed on the med I probably might not be here in another few years, as to many things were beginning to happen to me.  Strange how some medicine of today can actually make a fellow or gal worse.  One has to get to know their body, then do the research and correct the problems, for most parts anyways. Today this article is out in the news, take a look.

Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid, Aciphex. These and a dozen more drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have quickly become superstars of Big Pharma. As recently reported by US News and World Report, last year people worldwide shelled out some $ 25.6 billion for these drugs that are supposed to alleviate heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Although hailed by most doctors as safe, reports have started cropping up that side effects may include everything from dizziness to osteoporosis, increased risk of heart attacks, pneumonia, and lots more.

Within two weeks after withdrawal from treatment, they experience even worse heartburn, regurgitation and other GERD symptoms than ever — so they have to go right back on the expensive PPI drug therapy.

Thing is there is ways of staying off it and correcting the problem with acid coming back naturally and one should be looking into them even before they stop taking the PPIs.  For myself I could never be happier that I got off them and able to stay off them. It’s been 8 months now and no relapse at all.  After twenty some years too, amazing.  Well thought I would share with you folks as I know what it’s like to have this problem and one shouldn’t have to suffer this way.  My Opinion Only

A Few Things You Can Eat For Those That Are Staring At A Computer All Day At Work

If you feel that you are suffering from eye strain, take a minute to splash your eyes with cold water. Not only will this feel great, it will boost blood supply to your eye muscles, making them feel refreshed. For best eye health, be sure your diet contains sources of Vitamin A. Of all the vitamins, vitamin A is one of the most wonderful for your eyes.  A sample of foods rich in this vitamin are lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and cabbageVegetables are great! Not to mention how nice they look in your kitchen sitting on the counter! Snack on them throughout your day. Take them to work. No reason for you not to get what is needed, especially this time of year, as fresh home grown veggies are in abundance right now.  Try and buy organic, but still wash thoroughly before eating.  Some say, hey, my eyes are ok, no problem. I say, why wait till you do have problems.  Preventative maintenance is the answer.

Tomatoes For Heart Disease,Cancer,The List Goes On

For a long time now here on my Blog, I have been letting folks know the benefits on eating healthy foods. Like Broccoli and Tomatoes for the prevention of Cancer.   Scientists now  say, that a natural ingredient  in tomatoes, taken daily, can stave off heart disease, strokes and lower Cholesterol immensely.  On the cholesterol part, I don’t believe there is such a thing as bad cholesterol, I just think it’s a ploy to make billions of dollars, but that is my thinking alone. So there you have it, just one more reason to pick up a copy of my new gardening book called,  Join Me In The Garden” and get to planting your own veggies.  The book though doesn’t just stop there, as there is all kinds of other things through out it. Like how to make your own medicines out of plants, recipes, even a few good old time stories that came my way over the years, and,well just to many to name.  Have a great day and get out there and make yourself a fresh tomato sandwich for lunch.  Home made bread preferably. My Opinion Only

Good Old Baking Soda To The Rescue

Good Morning. Here is another item that I would like to tell you about  good old baking soda. For years now folks have been using it in their bread and baking not knowing how good it really is.  The thing today though is most folks don’t do any baking anymore.  At any rate, years ago my old Dad and Grandfather took a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water once a day.  When asked what they took it for, they said keeps the old kidneys up and running nicely.  Now take a look at this article.

A recent study discovered a new use for common household baking soda. The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) reported that a daily dose of baking soda could prevent kidney damage and chronic kidney disease…

Hmm … Kind of makes a fellow or gal think, doesn’t it. Another bit of old time advice, that has been lost in our transition to a better life.  Or … what the Powers That Be, would like you to believe is a good thing.  My Opinion Only

Bug Spray & Other Things

Now this article below is one that almost verifies what I have been trying to tell folks for years, concerning the things that they spray and rub on their skin. I for one along with all my family, have never put it on our skin and never will.  It is just common sense that these chemicals are not good for you.  Never ceases to amaze me though, of how easily folks are fooled in toady’s world.  They just take for granted that what ever the Powers That Be tell them is the truth.  Thing is folks, you are the only ones that can look after your own body.  You are the one at the helm and the quicker you can take back the reins the better off you will be .  Also, take the blinders off and do the research on pretty well everything today.  Even from my Blog.  I am not pretending to be no expert or no- it- all by no means.  All that I  am asking of folks, is to sit back, take a look around and keep an open mind, and remember: “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”   My Opinion Only

Now take a look, fresh off the press:

The active ingredient in many insect repellents, deet, has been found to be toxic to the central nervous system. Researchers say that more investigations are urgently needed to confirm or dismiss any potential neurotoxicity to humans, especially when deet-based repellents are used in combination with other neurotoxic insecticides.

Vincent Corbel from the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement in Montpellier, and Bruno Lapied from the University of Angers, France, led a team of researchers who investigated the mode of action and toxicity of deet (N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide). Corbel said, “We’ve found that deet is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetycholinesterase, in both insects and mammals”.

Discovered in 1953, deet is still the most common ingredient in insect repellent preparations. It is effective against a broad spectrum of medically important pests, including mosquitoes. Despite its widespread use, controversies remain concerning both the identification of its target sites at the molecular level and its mechanism of action in insects. In a series of experiments, Corbel and his colleagues found that deet inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme – the same mode of action used by organophosphate and carbamate insecticides.

These insecticides are often used in combination with deet, and the researchers also found that deet interacts with carbamate insecticides to increase their toxicity. Corbel concludes, “These findings question the safety of deet, particularly in combination with other chemicals, and they highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the development of safer insect repellents for use in public health”

Now, if you keep putting these things on your skin, well … plain and simple, you are not thinking clearly and why is that?  Simple, you have been putting to many chemicals on and into your body, it’s effecting your mind.
