All good people seek "selflessness;" and that is how we are taught; but good people should remember to take good care of themselves.

In a lifetime a person goes from shape-changing youth to completed-design adults; this course of biologic "miracle" happens far too fast for most of us. As we mature, some very interesting pieces of each of our bodies and habits come in conflict with our minds. That is, it turns out, is why we must continue learning about our self. There is the thinking side of each of us, and the biological reality of each; this is supposed to work in conjunction for the greater good in all of us.

That said: "Yes, all good people should seek [not only] selflessness" but also self-preservation. Many of my activities as an adult have proven to be self-defeating -- even self-destructive. Once I realized that my own children are unhappy when I act out these behaviors, did I realize they too want me happy, healthy, and -- less wise.

Actions speak louder than words to my shape-shifting teens.

On the continuing discourse of hydration I connected with my GERD mentor this Saturday morning, April 9,  on faceBook and she had this to say: (EXCERPT)

Mentor: "How much water do you drink every day?"

Me: almost a gallon
some days I forget to hydrate
those are generally bad days
I can't seem to break the coke zero habit in the afternoons
i look forward to my "strong drink" as a habit
since i don't imbibe amymore but I still look forward to a coke zero with bottled water "cocktail" in the afternoons

Mentor: I was the same- gave up everything, but going to hell w a diet coke in hand.

Me: so how'd you do it?

Mentor: You saw the study out today? A self funded study

Me: where?

Mentor: Read about aspartame- and it eats your bones... and dehydration. On it's way

VB: I was concerned about family members who were consuming large amounts of -- especially diet sodas. I had already become aware of possible adverse effects of aspartame. I was doing further research on it and I came across the Bressler report. I noticed that he was talking about sizeable tumors that were reported from the use of ... DKP (diketopiperazine) which is a breakdown component of aspartame. I thought that if I did my own experiment that I might be able to actually see some tumors and that I would make photos of them and then provide an additional resource 2 for people to use to try to get it off the market and to try to convince family members to stop using it.

Me: oh, how nice,

Mentor: Generally, rule is to divide weight by 2, and drink that number of ounces, not exceeeding 100 oz or you risk washing out minerals and electrolytes

But if you add caffeine, alcohol, fruit juice... any diuretics you need more water
generally 1.5 oz for every ounce of diuretic.

So I am one cup of coffee a day to keep the water need down.

You can check yourself for dehydration like this:

Stand up, one hand over your heart. Have someone palpate a vein in your lower hand and slowly raise it, not going over the level of your heart. If the vein loses structure at all, you are dehydrated. Big cause of GERD, btw...

Notes on "FATHead," the Documentary

FROM:
Al Sears, MD

Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411

March 24, 2011
TO:
Dear Pat Darnell,

There’s something important I want to tell you today. Something cosmetic companies and dermatologists will never admit to.

The secret to glowing, supple skin that turns heads wherever you go isn’t at the bottom of some expensive cream or prescription lotion tube.

In fact, it has absolutely nothing to do with what you put on the outside.

The only sure-fire way to get satiny smooth skin that begs to be touched is to work from the inside out.

You see, you’re meant to have beautiful skin. It’s your birthright. And when you fill your body with the nutrients it needs, perfect skin just happens.

Your native diet of protein, plus whatever fresh produce you could gather, gave you all of those nutrients. Today it’s a different story.

Unfortunately, modern-day farming has stripped our foods of their vitamins and nutrients. And the foods you find at the grocery store and even some farmers’ markets don’t cut it. They lack the critical ingredients you need to nourish the inside of your body to create the sexy, radiant skin you’re supposed to have.

That’s why I developed a supplement that gives you everything our food lacks.

It includes 5 powerful ingredients that help transform your skin from rough to petal-soft. All from the inside out. And not just on your face… but all over your body.

I call it Radiance.

I developed this supplement with the intention of helping my patients and readers – like you – get beautiful skin and help improve your body both inside and out.

The “superstar” ingredient in Radiance is Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Your skin uses it to help maintain moisture, protect itself from free-radical damage and support overall immune health.

One study gave people GLA supplements. After two months, their skin was holding on to 10 percent more water. And before taking the supplement, over 30 percent of the people had some kind of skin irritation. After the study was over… there was no sign of skin irritation on anyone and the amount of people with dry skin was reduced by 30 percent.1

In another study, adults were given GLA supplements. And at the end, it was found that everyone’s skin health improved either by increased moisture, elasticity, firmness, or less fatigue resistance and roughness.2

Then I combined GLA with four other healthy skin-promoting nutrients for even more of a benefit. Radiance also includes:


Sea Buckthorn Oil. This antioxidant comes from the berries of a native European and Asian plant. It harnesses anti-aging power and helps speed up skin cell regeneration.
Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E). Found in some leafy greens, seeds and nuts, this anti-inflammatory and antioxidant promotes DNA repair, helps support your immune system, and protects your cell membranes.
High-Omega Flaxseed Oil. This antioxidant found in a flowering Canadian plant fights free-radical damage and helps accelerate the internal cellular healing process of your skin.
Hyaluronic Acid. Found in root vegetables, hyaluronic acid is the basic building block of tissue throughout your body (not just in your skin). It’s a strong anti-aging substance that promotes cellular repair and healing, can help reduce the signs of wrinkles, and help keep skin firm and elastic.
Radiance is backed by my 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee so if for any reason you’re not completely satisfied… it’s on me. Simple as that.

To Your Good Health,

BBC News - Cardiff expert's ethnic eye test 'catastrophe' warning

BBC News - Cardiff expert's ethnic eye test 'catastrophe' warning: "The reasons for the higher instances of certain eye complaints among black minority and ethnic groups are varied.

For example, southern Asian people are more susceptible to diabetic retinopathy owing to a genetic inability to produce the amount of insulin required for a high-sugar, high-dairy western diet.

Similarly, the traditional Somali diet, rich in meat protein and starchy carbohydrates, is well suited to an active life in Somalia, but is too rich for the more sedentary jobs found in Wales.

People from an African/Caribbean background in general are at greater danger from glaucoma because of their thicker corneas, although stress and economic deprivation are also thought to be risk factors, in common with all ethnic groups.


People from a southern Asian background are three times more likely to contract glaucoma
However, very little is understood about why at-risk communities are so reluctant to seek help."

Morning kiddo!

HELLLLOOOOO!

how you be?

better
getting into the swing of the new emerging me.
thanks for the emails

Alrighty
You betcha- I can flood your inbox
Did you get the book?

my inbox can take it... which book?

On stomach acid
The Wilson book on Adrenals is excellent too- but a good introduction to this way of living
Believe me, cooking your own food, bought locally is the greatest political act possible. Ask Ghandi

Why stomach acid is good for you.' I will go to amazon later... [Another one to get, I think I mentioned before is 'Why stomach acid is good for you.' If you are going to write about GERD, that is the Bible.

http://www.amazon.com/Why-Stomach-Acid-Good-You/dp/0871319314/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1300114501&sr=1-1 ]

Gastroesophegeal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophegeal Reflux Disease
By Michael Owen, DC | Excerpt from The Nutritional Therapist Premier Issue 2003
GERD, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, occurs when the acid contents of the stomach flows up through the muscular opening in the diaphragm into the esophagus. Although the stomach lining is made to handle these strong stomach acids, the esophagus is not.

Constant acid reflux into the esophagus may cause damage, ulcerations or even develop into a pre-cancerous condition called Barrett’s Esophagus.

Anti acids and acid blockers may bring temporary relief, however as we have seen before, chronic conditions often result from suppressive therapies.
