Garbage In - Garbage Out!

As I write this I can look out of my window and see the good folk of my local village and beyond queuing to buy their meat at one of the finest butchers for many a mile. I wonder what they would say if I went out and told them “there’s cheaper meat available on the nearby Sunday market’? No doubt, the polite replies would include lines such as “you’re having a laugh – if I go there I won’t know what I’m buying, how long it’s been stored and if it’s actually the meat it says it is.” I would have to agree totally – yet how many of people take that risk with their herbs and vitamins? Did you know for example that most of the world’s ‘cheap’ vitamin E is a synthetic bi-product of the photographic industry? I wonder what the other cheap vitamins are bi-products from? Next time you’re considering the ‘irresistible’ offers in the Sunday supplements or certain TV adverts with 70% sales - remember Gerald Ratner!

Coke/Pepsi is Poison BUT Don't Waste it!

Anyone who knows me will know about my opinions on carbonated drinks and coke in particular (the phosphorous helps to leach calcium out of your bones and leads to osteoporosis). But, even though you are mad to stick coke and pepsi down your throats don’t worry if you have a fridge full of the stuff and don’t want to pour it away as a waste of money! Here are some really useful things to do with the stuff (written from a bloke’s perspective of course.) other than poisoning yourself.

Clean Car Battery Terminals.There's acid in almost all carbonated drinks. And that helps strip corrosion from car battery terminals. Pour some coke/pepsi over the battery terminals and let it sit for a while. Wipe off the residue with a wet cloth.

Clean Your Dirty Toilet Bowl. Got bad stains, a date coming over in an hour and no toilet cleaner? Pour a can of coke/pepsi into the bowl. Let it sit for an hour to let the phosphoric acid work on the stains, then brush to loosen the dirt and flush clean.

Remove Rust Spots From Chrome.If you have an older car that has real chrome trim, chances are there are some small, and some not so small, rust spots developing on the chrome. Take some crumpled aluminum foil, dip it in some cola and rub the rust off the affected area.

Remove Rust Stains in Your Bathtub. Remember how the phosphoric acid worked to clean the toilet bowl? The same acid will remove rust stains in your bathtub. Soak a sponge (preferably one with an abrasive side), in some cola and go to work on the stain.

Clean Grout. Is mould and mildew ruining the look of your shower? Soak a sponge with Coke and work it into the grout. Rinse with water.

Remove Grease From Clothes. Been working on the car all weekend and greased up more than just the engine? Pouring a can of cola into your washer, along with your regular soap powder, is said to help loosen and wash away those grease stains.

Remove Milk Stains From Clothes. Soak the stain with Coke for about five minutes and then wash normally. It should get the stain out.

Remove Blood Stains From Clothes. If you soak the stain with coke/pepsi for five minutes then wash in your machine, the blood should come out, even dried blood that's been there for a while.
Clean Grease From Glass.

That same handy phosphoric acid removes grease and grime from glass, even dried hairspray from mirrors. Just rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.
Clean Oil Stains From Garage Floor or Driveway.

Pour coke/pepsi over the stain, let it soak in for a while, then scrub and rinse off with a hose.
Clean Burnt Pans.Ruined you favourite pan? Forget to take it off the stove? If scrubbing won't get it off, try this: boil some coke in the pan and the burnt-on mess should lift right out.

Clear Clogged Drains.If your sink is draining slowly and you don't have any drain cleaner in the house, pour a 2-litre bottle of cola down the drain and let the acids go to work on the clog. Cheaper than drain cleaner!

Loosen Rusted Nuts and Bolts.Soak a rag in cola and wrap it around the rusted-on bolt for a few minutes. The acids and carbonation will help loosen it.

Make Flowers Last Longer.Got your girl some flowers and you want them to survive through the week? Pour about 1/4 cup of clear soda like Sprite or 7-Up into a vase full of water. The sugar helps them to last longer.

Relieve Nausea or an Upset Stomach. I can think of better things to put in my stomach but evidently just leave the can or bottle open for about 30 minutes first, until the coke/pepsi goes flat. The carbonation could have an adverse effect on your stomach symptoms.

Help Prevent Diarrhoea. When you’re desperate for SAFE fluid (i.e. free from bugs) and you're traveling through a country with an iffy water and/or food supply, drinking coke could keep you from making constant trips to the bathroom. The acids in the coke/pepsi help reduce the amount of E. Coli bacteria in your intestines. This inhibits the production of toxins that can cause diarrhoea.

Ease a Sore Throat. By gargling with coke/pepsi you can loosen the phlegm causing the irritation. Remember it’s poison – spit don’t swallow.

Stop a Jellyfish Sting From Stinging. Just pour it on, the acids in cola seem to neutralize the venom in the sting.

Get Chewing Gum Out of a Child’s Hair.
Fancy your chances with that single mum struggling to get gum out of her screaming kid's hair? Come to the rescue with your can of Coke. Soak the kid's hair for a few minutes, then rinse. The gum should come right out.

Strip Dye From Hair.
If your girl comes home crying that her new dye job turned her hair green, wash her hair with Diet Coke. Apparently Diet Coke has the ability to strip and/or fade bad dye jobs.

Use as a Moisturizer.
Mixing a capful of cola with unscented lotion is said to enhance the moisturising
effects.

Keep People From Slipping on Slippy Floors.
If you're having an outdoor get together and you're worried about guests slipping on your back patio, try this trick: use a mop to spread a thin layer of Coke on the slippery surface. It'll dry slightly sticky and tacky.


Any more?

Paw Paw (the history of - relates to previous post)

History behind Paw Paw Cell Reg:
Dr Jerry L. McLaughlin, an Emeritus Professor of Pharmacognosy from Purdue University, extensively studied cancer & related treatments. Dr. McLaughlin has made over 300 scientific presentations and his work is chronicled in over 330-refereed publications, supported by nearly 80 different grants and contracts. For 20 years he obtained and screened more than 3,500 species of plants during a study supported by the National Cancer Institute. During this time he discovered remarkable active ingredients in the twigs of a species of Paw Paw called Asimina Triloba which had powerful anticancer benefits. Dr. McLaughlin soon discovered that the twigs needed to be harvested seasonally to obtain the potency of the active ingredients. Dr. McLaughlin tracked more than 100 cancer patients who used the Paw Paw active ingredients during a one-year period. These patients had tumours representing many different kinds of cancer. The results showed significant reductions in tumour sizes and a significant reduction in tumour antigen levels. Many patients reported “increased energy” as a result of using paw paw. Of those patients who were undergoing chemotherapy, some reported no hair loss, no bone marrow depression and no GI bleeding. Interestingly additional health benefits were noted with patients suffering from cold sores, shingles, toenail fungus, acne, athlete’s foot, eczema and psoriasis. The Scientific research on Paw Paw was being conducted to make a pharmaceutical drug however by the time the research on Paw Paw had been concluded the pharmaceutical company had already invested millions in another anti-cancer drug and decided it would not be financially viable to invest further money in another new drug simultaneously. Nature’s Sunshine were very interested in Dr McLaughlin’s lifetime research and the results of the clinical trial believing it would be better for people to use this remedy in itsnatural form rather than a synthetic drug. Nature’s Sunshine commissioned Dr McLaughlin to work with the company to use his research to develop Paw Paw Cell Reg. Oncologist recommends Paw PawSome of the most encouraging paw paw results are coming from doctors who suggest thatpatients add paw paw to their current health regimens. One of these doctors is Dr. JamesForsythe (oncologist). Dr. Forsythe shares case studies of three patients who haveexperienced improvement while using paw paw.“One participant named Anna has stage four breast cancer. Within just six weeks of taking the paw paw she saw a 50 percent reduction in tumour markers as measured by blood tests.Also, the size of the tumour was reduced significantly. Since she did not change any other treatment protocol, I was convinced that the paw paw was instrumental in improving the condition of her cancer. A second participant named Ed has stage four lung cancer. He went through two years of chemotherapy, but the lung cancer was resistant. Within two months of taking paw paw Ed’s tumour markers also improved, and he experienced a weight gain of five pounds. Before taking the paw paw he was bedridden or was in a wheelchair. Ed’s health has improved to the point that he is now able to walk on his own.The last participant, Byron, has stage four prostate cancer, which spread to other parts of his body. Within six weeks of using paw paw there was a distinct reduction in the tumour masses. A CT scan showed a 25 percent reduction in the tumours. Byron is now in stable condition.”

Nature's Sunshine Cancer Programme

Cancer Programme
During the last four years, numerous people across the world have achieved remarkable results using Nature’s Sunshine Cancer Programme. The programme is an arsenal of four products attacking cancer cells by different means and at the same time strengthening the body’s immune ability to defend itself. This programme has been
used for a large variety of different types of cancer. After using the programme for only a few days, many people start to see noticeable benefits including having more energy and skin colour improvement. The four products consist of Paw Paw Cell Reg, Immune Formula, Zambroza and Hi Potency Protease.
Paw Paw Cell Reg
Whilst each product in the programme plays an important role, the key product is Paw Paw Cell Reg which disrupts the energy cycle of cancerous and abnormal cells. The high metabolic rate of these cells stimulates a reaction with the active ingredients in Paw Paw Cell Reg, resulting in inhibiting the cells energy.
Abnormal cells reacting to these active ingredients are then less able to grow and develop. Many cells in this new state become dormant or destroy themselves (apoptosis).
Immune Formula
This combination product effectively increases the white blood count in the
body, helping the body defend itself against abnormal cells and pathogens.
Zambroza
Independently clinically proven to be the most powerful antioxidant product
on the market, Zambroza protects the body against free radical damage which
is the root causes of many health problems including many types of cancer.
Hi Potency Protease
In large concentration Protease (a digestive enzyme) is able to progress from
the stomach into the blood stream and helps break down the structure of the
abnormal cells which are being effectively attacked by the rest of the regimen.
‘Continue with this regimen as long as necessary until 6 months after you
have been given the all clear.’

Q & A
Can you take this regimen during Chemotherapy?
When someone has chemotherapy they will need to stop antioxidant
supplements including Zambroza as antioxidants make chemotherapy (excess
free radical causing drug) less effective. Zambroza should be taken however
leading up to chemotherapy treatment and immediately after the course of
chemotherapy treatment has finished. The other three products in this regimen
are not only safe to take during conventional treatment but they will also enhance
the results.
Enhancing conventional treatment
Sometimes cancerous cells can recognize and reject familiar conventional treatments.
When the chemical enters the cell, the cell pumps the chemical back out before it delivers its desired effect (chemo resistant cancer cells). This pumping mechanism is dependent upon the energy of the cell (ATP). The pump will stop when its supply of energy dwindles. If the chemical can stay in the cell, the treatment will be more effective.
As mentioned above, Paw Paw Cell Reg stops the energy cycle of the cell therefore
making the resistant pumping mechanism redundant and the treatment more effective.
Conventional treatment also results in a low immune system and Immune Formula helps
combat this by encouraging white blood cell production.

Testimonial by Marilyn Navarro - My daughter-in-law, Eva, was diagnosed with cancer in her brain near the pituitary gland. She quickly started on a regimen that included paw paw and we are so thankful she did! Just before starting chemotherapy, Eva had an MRI that showed a secondary tumour near the pineal gland. However, the primary tumour had shrunk notably. The last MRI she had shows no tumour near the pineal and the original tumour continuing to shrink.

Using Sucralose (sugar replacement)

See my previous post : What are they trying to hide? Dec 2006

Looks like the ban on UK users accessing articles to do with Sucralose via Dr Mercola's website have been taken down.

Read and be afraid!
Or just stop using artificial, synthetic, sugar substitutes.

Still think multinational drug companies are on your side?

So how many people in Canada, or anywhere for that matter, have died through taking Vitamin C? Come up with any figures yet greater than 0? Thought not. So you couldn't make the following up could you?

What if, just for taking vitamin C, you could be thrown in jail for up to 2 years and fined up to $5,000,000?
That scenario could very well soon become a reality in Canada. The Canadian Government is trying to pass a bill known as Bill C51. According to some interpretations of the bill, it would remove all supplements from over-the-counter availability, by only allowing MD’s to prescribe them as they see fit.
This would mean that if you wanted to take a multivitamin, you would have to book an appointment with your doctor and try to convince your doctor that you are in need of these supplements. If your doctor decides a certain drug would be better for you, then you won't have access to your supplements anymore.
Consequences of the bill could include:
No more supplement stores
Supplements made illegal unless obtained through a prescription; 70 percent of all current supplements on the market could be removed
Fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or 2 years in jail per incident of being caught breaking this law
