Cocktail of Popular Drugs May Cloud Brain

Just what our elderly need, huh - a cocktail of drugs which makes them decline faster mentally and die sooner. See my article from last year on this subject: "Half the elderly are prescribed drugs linked to death and mental decline"

Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry with Potatoes

This spicy curry provides just enough heat to help you make it through the end of winter. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable and, like broccoli, is an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin. Folate promotes heart health and helps prevent certain birth defects. It's also necessary for DNA production and repair, which helps lower cancer risk. Curries contain a variety of spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger and Cayenne pepper which have wonderful health benefits. For example, turmeric gets it characteristic yellow hue from a class of cancer-fighting compounds referred to as curcuminoids. The most abundant of these compounds is curcumin, which is being studied for its anti-inflammation properties.

Changing up the combination of spices and their amounts allows you to adjust the heat from mild to super spicy. Chickpeas add protein, making it a meal, especially when served with brown rice.

Ingredients:

4 cups bite-size cauliflower florets
1 medium yellow-flesh potato, peeled and diced (roughly 1 cup)
1 cup fat and MSG-free, reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, divided
1 cup sliced red onion, cut in thin crescents
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. curry powder, hot or mild (add more or less to taste)
3 cups chopped green cabbage, in 1/2-inch strips
1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen cut green beans
3/4 cup reduced-fat coconut milk (preferably organic)
Sea salt and ground black pepper
4 hard-cooked eggs, halved, optional, for garnish (preferably free-range organic eggs)

(As always, for the very healthiest versions of any recipe choose organic content as much as possible.)

Instructions:

1. In medium pot of boiling water, cook cauliflower and potatoes for 3 minutes. Drain, and set aside.

2. In large Dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup broth until it bubbles around edges. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is translucent, 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in curry powder until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until it wilts, 4 to 5 minutes, adding 1/4 cup water if the pot gets dry before cabbage is limp.

3. Add chickpeas, green beans, cauliflower and potatoes. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup broth and coconut milk. When liquid starts to bubble around edges of the pot, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and cauliflower is tender-crisp, 15 minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. To serve, divide curry, including liquid from pot, among 6 soup bowls.

4. If using eggs, discard egg yolks or reserve for another use, and coarsely chop the whites. Sprinkle the whites as garnish over the curry.

Makes 6 servings.

The Four Horsemen of the Modern Health Apocalypse

The Four Horsemen of the Modern Health Apocalypse First in a Series by Tony Isaacs A dark plague has crept across the land, operating largely in shadow for generations and set upon us by an evil master whose footsteps have fouled the earth for as long as man has walked upon it. Led by four evil horsemen who have been corrupted and enslaved by the master, the plague has cast its shadowy tentacles from sea to sea through towns and cities large and small, sparing no one. Almost no location has proven remote enough to escape it’s reach and it has visited death, illness and suffering on young and old alike. The plague is Bad Health. Its master is Greed. And the Four Horsemen who have been corrupted and perverted into servants of greed who spread the plague are our Food, our Medicine, our Industry and our Government. The effects of this evil plague can be measured in terms of the dollars and the lives it cruelly affects - billions of dollars annually in ill-gained profit at the expense of deaths that run into the hundreds of thousand and suffering that affects millions.

Peppery Spinach Quesadilla

Peppery Spinach Quesadilla

This is a really great, delicious and easy healthy dinner recipe - one that you won't have to stand over the stove all day making. In fact, you will be done in about 15 minutes. There is practically no cooking involved! Plus your kids will actually eat the spinach when prepared this way! For a super healthy version, substitute goat cheese for the mozzarella.

Ingredients:

1 medium package whole wheat soft tortillas
1 package of fresh baby spinach
1 8oz package low-fat mozzarella (for an even healthier recipe, use goat cheese, preferably made from raw organic goat milk)
1 can organic black beans
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 jar veggie salsa of your choice

Directions:

First, you will heat the beans on medium low heat until they are hot. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and lightly coat a cookie sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.

Get 8 tortillas ready and spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the heated beans on one side of each tortilla. Sprinkle a dash of pepper on the beans, and add a tablespoon or two of the mozzarella cheese.

Place these in the oven, open, for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted. Take them out of the oven and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of spinach to each tortilla.

Fold the tortillas while the cheese is still hot, and cut each one into 4 quarters. You can dip these in the salsa, and they are yummy!

If you love a little spice in your food, sprinkle a dash of cayenne pepper on each quesadilla before you put it in the oven.

Introductory to my blogs

I market products for a health and wellness company, called melaleuca.   I started this blog because ever since I have started marketing for this company I have learned a lot of information about the chemicals that are in our everyday cleaning products. I have four children, and 3 of them have some kind of physical problem.  I, myself have some physical problems.  Two of my children have ADHD. One with ODD.  One with Osler Weber Rendu Disease and he is also developmentally delayed.  I also have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. One of my sons has acne, both him and I wear glasses.  Since I have been marketing with Melaleuca I found out some interesting facts I found out that a lot of my cleaning supplies had toxins in them.  Well, I probably already knew they had toxins in them because if you look at the bottles of cleaning supplies it will list certain toxic ingredients. However, I also learned that company's didn't have to list all their chemicals on their product.  I also  learned that make up even had toxins in it.  Not only from melaleuca, but I also have a link to an article about lead found in lipstick on this site.  So now you're probably wondering what do these toxins have to do with my kids.  Well I also found out that many of these toxins are making our children sick. Toxins that are in our laundry detergent, dish detergent, floor and carpet cleaners, bath soap, aerosol sprays, and the list can keep going.  Children can be extremely sensitive to these toxins, and it may cause them to display ADHD behaviours.  Allergies for products in the home are rarely ever considered when a child is being tested for psychological problems. Our cleaning supplies contain chemicals that have neurotoxins (Definition of neuro from freedictionary.com means indicating a nerve or nervous system). , that cause central nervous systems (CNS) disorders, carconigenics that link to pancreas cancer,  Ethyl Acetate which causes damage to the liver and kidneys in them and the list goes on. I only have taped less than 1% of the chemicals in our house. Now then lets get back to Melaleuca.  All their products are natural.  They care about their customers. They want us to be healthy.  Their products are scientifically proven to be healthier. Their products have no chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach is linked to cancer. Have you noticed that more people have cancer than 30 years ago.  I'm 40 years old, and I know as a child I didn't hear about people dying of cancer much.  Mostly everyone I knew who died, died of natural causes or in their sleep. Chlorine Bleach is also related to headaches. Headaches my children have had. Melaleuca's products also have no phosphates, and no high alkaline formula's.  Alkaline formula's can burn skin, mouth, and eyes, and they can scratch dishes, and make your glassware cloudy. Their products also contain no fillers, and are concentrated.  They are less expensive than leading store products which contain fillers, and are watered down. Melaleuca is also a pharmaceutical company. They have 350 products that range from vitamins, cosmetics, to cleaning supplies.   This blog hardly taps into the toxins in the chemicals in your house, and harldy taps into melaleuca green products.  If you are interested in becoming a preferred customer for Melaleuca visit my web site visit http://www.ahealthcafe.com/Uneedit   You definitely need it.  In my future blogs I plan on touching more on Melaleuca products and on products containing toxins that can harm you, your children, your animals and your household.

Discover the Truth about Calcium and Cholesterol

Discover the Truth about Calcium and Cholesterol

By Paul Fassa | February 4, 2012

(Health Secrets Newsletter) There's plenty of misinformation about calcium supplementation floating around. But what you really need to know is that all calcium is not created equal. Calcium from raw whole foods is beneficial and necessary. But calcium thrown into processed food as a sales gimmick, or supplemental calcium taken alone without its balancing vitamins and minerals is likely to do more harm than good.

Optimum magnesium intake might prevent ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer's and mental decline

(NaturalNews) Magnesium, the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, plays a crucial role in activating over 300 chemical responses. It is responsible for the proper formation of bones, maintaining normal muscle function, regulating body temperature, and proper absorption of calcium. Increasingly, medical science is coming to believe that magnesium and other minerals missing from today's diet might prevent cognitive disorders such as ADD, ADHD and bipolar disorder, as well as help prevent Alzheimer's and mental decline as we age.

Raw goat's milk offers many benefits

(NaturalNews) In western civilization, most milk consumption is in the form of pasteurized and homogenized cow's milk. Although such milk is portrayed as being healthy, it actually can lead to impaired health, including allergies, tooth decay, colic in babies, arthritis, heart disease, and even cancer. A much better choice is raw milk, and, though generally more difficult to find, the best raw milk of all is raw goat's milk. As the Journal of American Medicine states, "Goat's milk is the most complete food known."
