Swine Flu: Personal or Gov't Responsibility

Swine Flu is all over the news.
We are under a National Health Emergency.

This is what is on my mind, so these are my thoughts & opinions alone.
The following information and views i will lay out are not intended as suggestions for self-diagnosis or self-treatment of mental, emotional or physical symptoms or complaints.
No guarentee or assurance is given for obtaining specific results from the use of any of the suggestions i give.
The information that i share deals primarily with the Prevention of disease(s) rather than with the Treatment of disease.

Ok with that out of the way...

I have been studying pubmed.gov more frequently lately. Funny thing is, i had just read about Fucoidan having anti-HIV properties as well as induce healing in lymphatic cancer, that is when the news broke about this new strain of flu that started out in Mexico.

I know i should be more 'paranoid' of this whole issue as some undoubetedly are; however, i have a peace and calm about this whole situation as we have bottles of Original Limu in the pantry with more on the way soon. That with the knowlege i have obtained through studying Fucoidan for the past 2 years gives me Health Assurance because i know that if Fucoidan has clinically Proven to induce apoptosis (normal cell death function) in cancer and actually protect against the HIV/AIDS virus, as well as bring a completely malnourished & dysfunctioning body (mine) back from the brink of death, a little Flu is not going to bother my Family.

What gets to me is this:

The W.H.O., the C.D.C. and the Govt are all scrambling now to see which manufacturer can make a Drug fast enough to prevent a pandemic. With all the trillions of dollars just spent in the last 100 or so days, where is the money going to come from that the Drug Companies (yes, You read right and Yes that is a Real Govt sponsored JOB - making Drugs for the general population to Aleviate (cover-up, mask) Symptoms of disease, not to prevent disease in the first place which only whole food nutrients can provide)
The Drug companies will demand payment for their drugs and that is where You and I come in.
When the drug (oops! Vaccine) comes out to market - (probably) available only by Rx or by a Dr. appointment and shot - the 'consumer' (You and me) will be billed for it. In that bill for that 1 dose will be charges for: all the man hours that went into creating another 'miracle' Drug, the manufacture, the sale, the distribution and even the advertising that the Drug Company with the winning Drug comes up with.
This will rollover to the insurance claims dept. where Private premiums will raise due to increased Dr. visit. If on Public Health Insurance, well...taxpayer, now You are footing the bill for Your private ins. as well as Your tax dollars paying for all the New Health Insure-eds filing new claims due to unemployment skyrocketing do to recession that was brought about by citizens 'consumers' cutting back on spending just on the "fear" of a recession that was not yet in place.

Now, i once heard a saying, i don't know who the author is, "A Rose by Any Other Name is Still A Rose."
Call me crazy, but... Mama always told me to eat my veggies and drink my milk, not once did she ever say "Make sure to take handfulls of Drugs everyday!"

Problem: (with Drugs & the Gov't. Role/Responsibility in this National Health Emergency)

This Swine Flu strain containes Swine (pig), Human and Avian (bird) stains all wrapped in one; an anomoly that is rarely seen; which will prove difficult for any drug company to come up with just 1 Drug to combat all.

Now the Government.

The role of Our Government is:

To keep Her citizens informed. Check.
To mandate restrictions on travel if need be to contain pandemic. Check.
To close schools & public offices when it is not safe to go. Check.
To provide and instill encouragement & hope to the people in times of crises. Check.
To have in place Govt. appointed offices to secure the Nation's Health. not yet.

The Responsibility of Our Government is:

Not to tell people everyday that they need to eat proper so their immune system has a fighting chance In Case of Emergency - which Is Now.
Set guidelines on proper Nutrition to promote a healthy body. Check
To inform it's citizens of impending attack. Check. (The Flu is on all the news.)
To inform it's citizens how to protect themselves against an attack. Check. (Admonished like children to wash hands, cover cough/sneezes, stay home if sick etc.)
To allow it's citizens the right to knowlege. Check. http://pubmed.gov/ just search Fucoidan.
To allow it's citizens to make free choices about their health. Check

As i see it, the Government has kept it's end of the bargain where Health is concerned in this country. American Citizens, far and wide YOU have Failed in YOUR Responsibility to this Nation, Government and us - YOUR Fellow Citizens & Neighbors.

You. Citizen of the United States. Yes, You! What have You done for Your Country where Your Health is concerned?
"Ask Not what Your Country Can DO For You. Ask What Can YOU DO For YOUR Country." John F. Kennedy said it right the 1st time!

Are You living your days out of a drive thru, a six pack of beer or cokes and a pack of smokes? Just waiting for the time when You finally destroy Your body enough and then look to the Govt, Your Family and hand-outs to support your cancer treatments, oxygen for COPD, insulin for diabetes or just fill in Your Own blank.

Now, during Our Nation's 1st Health Crisis in years, are You sitting in Your easy chair with nice "stuff" all around You...fat and content with a lifestyle of 1 upping the Jones'... watching your overweight or sickly children and spouse beside You while You watch in horror and dismay as the news of Swine Flu tops every headline and news story; wondering what The President is going to do about This Problem?

Shame on YOU!

It Is YOUR Responsibility to keep Your OWN Body Healthy.
It IS YOUR Responsibility to keep Your CHILDREN'S Body Healthy.
IT IS YOUR Responsibility to keep Your Parent's Body Healthy, just as they gave and kept Your life through Nutrition - They FED YOU!

How dare You sit back and think that You can unload Your Health Responsibility and Problems on The President, The Govt, Your Fellow Tax Payers who are by the way Your Neighbors!

Our Nation is facing a serious Health Crisis!
Our Nation Depends on Each Individual's Health!
Our Nation Needs Healthy Families for the Future!
Our Nation Depends on YOU!

Won't You finally get off the fence and commit to having a healthier body and family? Commit to being part of the Solution to this Crisis? Commit to not draining Your Country's hard earned dollars on diseases that are Completely Preventable through Nutrition?

If You needed a wake up call...Swine Flu is IT.

Swine Flu is Here.
Is Your Body Prepared to Fight?

Do YOUR part! For Your Health, For Your Family, For America, Drink Original Limu & Blu Frog!

Blessings of Peace & Health and Life More Abundant for YOU!

How Vitamin C Aids Digestion

Greetings All!

Today's Health Topic:

How the Vitamin C in Original Limu helps aid in digestion.

The Limu Moui sea plant has more Vitamin C than does the orange. In fact on the RDA% scale, 1 orange (app 4.5oz) = 116%. In fact it is 12 on the list behind Black Currants, Red Bell Peppers raw and strawberries to name a few.

"Deficencies (of Vitamin C) interfere with everything from the production of collagen, the protein 'cement' that holds your cells together and helps in the healing of wounds, to your ability to digest food and fight the effects of stress."
Also, "Your body can't manufacture it (Vitamin C) or store more than a few grams, so keeping your cells saturated with a rich daily supply of Vitamin C is crucial."
Both these excerpts come from page 244 - ISBN0-87857-495-6

Vitamin C is most crucial because it plays a role in Every bodily function - simply because it holds the cells together.

If Vitamin C is lacking, the result will be a defective collagen molecule that means ultimately weak tissue. 30% of all body protein is collagen. It is involved in many diseases from fatal heart & lung diseases to back pain & minor skin disorders.

We don't hear too often about the disease of Scurvy (although it is becoming more prevalent in the elderly who find it difficult to shop for or eat the proper foods)
Scurvy is a Vitamin C deficency that causes slow wound healing, bleeding gums, pneumonia, and eventually death. It is completely reversible with just a few servings of Vitamin C rich foods.

How does this help w/digestion?

On the very cellular level if our bodies are lacking C, day in and out or even just skipping a few days out of the week, then the cells that hold us together start to become weak. It has to play catch up on the vital organs and processes to sustain life.

This means we don't have to get bleeding gums in order to have irritation, pain or unwillingness to chew food.
The fact that our body is stessed out physically but in todays world also mentally, there is little doubt most of us have stomach irritations or even ulcers. These are wounds we cannot see and are not being fixed by our body's natural renewal process.
We do not have to have acid reflux for us to have throat problems which keep us from eating.

Without daily doses of Vitamin C, it is no wonder that the body fights for survival in the only way it can - unfortunately by cutting down on the digestion process; therby sending the whole system into a state of shock, unable to physically fight the deterioration that is attacking on all fronts. The only thing it can do to get the Nutrients is to attack and steal Nutrients that are stored in the body, creating a snowball effect of more destruction by further lack of Nutrients.

When the body has the whole food nutrients (Not Pills for suppliments which the body does not know what to do with all that by product anyway) it Needs it will repair the damage that has already been done to it as well as fight to protect itself from any further damage. Itself meaning YOU - The Essence of You is in Your Body.
Our bodies are the only thing standing between this world and the next (or death if You will).
As living beings we -just like the fruit trees or houseplants, domesticated or wild animals, all living things need nutrients to live and to thrive. We feed our plants & gardens Miracle Grow(tm). Well, that's what happens when we feed Our bodies liquid whole food nutrition packed with loads of Vitamin C. We become healthy, vibrant, radiant - not dull, droopy & withered.

Vitamin C just happens to play a Major role in our ability to sustain Life.


By living through Anorexia i know exactly what it is like to Actually, Physically Not be able to eat.
Within just days after drinking 4oz of Original Limu everyday, my body started to respond by my digestion system 'waking up'. I was able to go through all the motions of digestion from chewing to swallowing to having the food sit and digest in my stomach well.
After drinking this Vitamin C & Fucoidan rich juice every month for 2 years, i see and feel the difference that a Vitamin C rich daily diet will do for the body.

If You do nothing else for Your Family & Your Health this year, add more Vitamin C to Your daily diet.
Oh, did You know that if You take asprin daily for your health, BE AWARE:

Aspirin Reduces the Body's Absorption of Vitamin C by 50%

Make sure if You are in this category to increase Your C to compensate.

Here are some good sources of Vitamin C

Original Limu
Blu Frog
Papaya
Guava
Kiwi Fruit
Cantaloupe
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Orange
Cassava
Pink or Red Grapefruit
Green Bell Peppers
Red or White Currants
Kohlrabi
Honeydew


Blessings of Peace & Life More Abundant through Nutrition & A Healthy Body!

What is Kudo

Good Morning Friends & Neighbors!!

120 on the nose today! I FEEL Great! Got my 1st Kudo already w/ Original Limu.

So, they've been asking @ http://twitter.com/2BRecoverED What is a Kudo? I just emailed a dear friend w/ED who is just starting her Kudo chart on my pleading. So, here are excerpts of that email. I hope it helps:

"YES! snack counts as a Kudo!

However, if it is just 3 grapes, then a small kudo. Or i tear mine in half to indicate that YES I Did It! But...it was a small portion that is really too small to count as a Kudo. However, at the end of the week, they all add up!

Then You can do a Happy Dance :), or just revel in the fact that You made it through another week and Fought Back for Your Life.
After a few months of this, it really does Feel quite Cool! It also helps to identify early my daily progress in a positive way instead of just the negative stimuli coming from the disease within.

When i see that Vibrant Purple piece of construction paper on my fridge (9"x6") with all those colorful, shiny, happy stickers on it, i FEEL HAPPY. I FEEL POWER about opening the door to get another sticker - A KUDO! When i drink an 8oz glass of milk outside of a meal, i get a Kudo. It's Nutrition going into My Body.

I Am Putting It There.
I AM FIGHTING BACK!

When I eat 2 handfulls of grapes, I get a Kudo.
I SEE & FEEL I AM WINNING THE BATTLE!


I am so Happy & Proud of YOU implementing this technique!! I am having Great Success! I didn't when i started it a few months back. I wish i would have thought of this 2 years ago!
The main thing is I Started.
So Have YOU!!
And actually, the way You are doing it sounds pretty healthy. Just as long as it is not donuts and coffee for breffie; McDonald's for lunch. I don't think You are. In fact that is EXACTLY where i want to be! How 'bout that? One step ahead of me!

The body functions better with a heavy breffie & heavy lunch, little food after dusk. In fact @ http://oprah.com/article/oprahshow/200903305-tows-oz-calorie-restriction-restriction/4 Great article & info.

Add couple oz Original Limu or can of Blu Frog and You're set!"


Here are some excerpts of that article Dr. Oz wrote on Living Longer w/calorie restriction:
(emph. mine)

"Live Long with Calorie Restriction."
"Have to make sure the calories that are consumed are of Highest Bioavaililility and Nutrient Dense - Then yes - a calorie restricted Intense Nutrient diet With activities Will increase life span.
"When You restrict calories, the body understands that it doesn't haveresources to waste.
"We don' have toxic waste products coming out of Our Energy Cells...actually able to get the individual cell lines to Live Longer."


This coincides with what I've been saying over the last 2 years with my journey through recovery of Anorexia - severe calorie restricted diet.

I am NOT Cheating, (in my recovery from ED)
I AM FEEDING my body the MOST NUTRIENT DENSE, BIOAVAILABLE & NUTRIENT DENSE product on the planet!

In fact, i get Another Kudo! I am sipping Another 2oz right now as i write. I have to go into town later and i find with a couple extra oz in my bloodstream always helps - Physically and Mentally.

Feed the Body the Brain WILL Follow!

OH! Almost forgot, i wanted to share last 3 wks Kudo charts w/y'all.
3-22 to 3-28 = 32.2 Kudos (.2 are those small snacks)
3-29 to 4-4 = 16 Kudos
4-5 to 4-11 = (so far) 16 Kudos! Still have 1/2 week left and already at the intake of the previous week. No wonder why i feel so good and healthy!

See, it's ok to have a lower calorie intake ( Lower calorie - NOT No Calorie!) as long as You have Real, Whole Food that is so dense in Nutrients Your body can't help but put it all to work repairing damage from that 1st sip on, preventing future damage by ridding the body of toxins, bourishing the very cells that make up our body to perform better, last longer, and be stronger.

I Feel like the 6 Million Dollar Woman!

And this is after years of abuse and neglect to this body through toxins and severe malnutrition.
In just 2 short years, i have transformed my body ONLY because of Original Limu's 83% Fucoidan content, Pure Whole Food Liquid Nutrition.

Blessings of Peace & Health and Life More Abundant to YOU!

Take Care of YOU Today!

Fucoidan Article, Good Read

Good Morning Friends & Neighbors!

Boy did i sleep like a rock last nite! The twins were really good.
My weight is still 120 and all the itching has improved my daily intake of food, as this is a way to keep my hands and mind busy & off the itchies.
My poison ivy is going away i think. I've been slathering on cornstarch and it seems to stop the spread. The refill of itchy pills is helping also. Miserable stuff! Now i know why i stay inside the house or on the grass. There really was a method behind my madness and apparent paranoia of the outdoors - Poison Ivy. LOL

I found a real good article @ http://ezinearticles.com/?fucoidan---is-there-a-cure-for-cancer?&id=382978 about Fucoidan. Very good read with a lot of information and things to think about. I reccomend this article.

I'll cut this short today as i am behind on my work from yesturday.

I hope You have A Great Day!

Take Care of YOU!

Blessings of Life More Abundant to You This Year!

Awesome Kudos last week

Good Afternoon Friends & Neighbors!

Whew! Boy am i glad i have plenty Original Limu in the fridge and more on the way!

I am baby-sitting twin boys that just fell asleep after lunch together.
That's 2 Kudo's, juice & lunch, soon to be 3 with an extra shot to get me through the afternoon.

Sure is nice having little one's around again. It's been a long time for me and i can see i am out of practice.

Well, last week's Kudo chart was 32 and 2 snacks! The best it's been in a few weeks' anyway.
I'm at 120 and feel great. Physically & mentally -well except for the crazy brought on by incessant itching from poison ivy.

Better get back.

Take Care of YOU!!

Blessings of Peace & Health to You!
