How many millions of women have been duped into believing that aging is the most horrifying curse possible? The following report is further evidence of an abuse upon an increasing number of victims by a system which will go to any lengths in order to make a profit. An isolated case? LIttle is it realized just how many specialists in the medical field will go to any length in order to make money. A very costly lesson continues to be learned by an uninformed and naive public-Richard Markland

Bootleg Shots Verified In Poisonings
Palm Beach Post, December 14, 2004

    The Food and Drug Administration confirmed Monday that four people paralyzed by anti-wrinkle injections last month in Florida did not receive licensed Botox.
    Instead, their faces were injected with a bootleg product that contained at least 200 times the life-threatening botulism toxin used in the licensed cosmetic preparation. The shots they received were reformulated by an unlicensed doctor at a Broward clinic, an FDA affidavit indicates.
    Allergan Inc.-the only federally approved U.S. manufacturer of Botox, a trademarked, injectable anti-aging treatment-did not produce the shots that landed the four in intensive care with botulism poisoning, according to the FDA affidavit filed in federal court in San Jose, Calif.
    Palm Beach Gardens chiropractor Eric Kaplan, 52, and his wife, Bonnie, 53, remain in critical condition on ventilators at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. They became ill shortly after getting shots of what they thought was Botox, their son told investigators.
    Bach McComb, an osteopathic physician, is believed to have administered the shots. McComb was stripped of his Florida medical license this year.

If Americans were honest with themselves, how many look upon colas as an absolute necessity because it is an addiction? Few people realize that any given Pepsi or Coke has the equivalent of 11 teaspoons of sugar. How many of us can remember a time when colas did not exist. Is there a correlation between disease and products such as soft drinks? The only water many people drink is what has been put into the product itself. One clue as to how the soft drink industry has affected the average drinker is to look at the correlation between consumption and weight. Americans have a love affair with soft drinks and if people would be honest with themselves, the conclusion would be that it is a pleasure few are willing to part with.-Richard Markland

The Addicting Power Of Soft Drinks
By Dr. Joseph Mercola, 2004

These popular beverages account for more than a quarter of all drinks
consumed in the United States.

More than 15 billion gallons were sold in 2000.

That works out to at least one 12-ounce can per day for every man, woman and child.
Kids are heavy consumers of soft drinks, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and they are guzzling soda pop at unprecedented rates.

Carbonated soda pop provides more added sugar in a typical 2-year-old toddler's diet than cookies, candies and ice cream combined.

Fifty-six percent of 8-year-olds down soft drinks daily, and a third of teenage boys drink at least three cans of soda pop per day.

Not only are soft drinks widely available everywhere, from fast food restaurants to video stores, they're now sold in 60 percent of all public and private middle schools and high schools nationwide, according to the National Soft Drink Association. A few schools are even giving away soft drinks to students who buy school lunches.

As soda pop becomes the beverage of choice among the nation's young--and as soda marketers focus on brand-building among younger and younger consumers--public health officials, school boards, parents, consumer groups and even the soft drink industry are faced with nagging questions:

How healthful are these beverages, which provide a lot calories, sugars and caffeine but no significant nutritional value?

And what happens if you drink a lot of them at a very young age?
Last week, representatives of the soft drink industry, concerned that public opinion and public policy may turn against them, will staged a three-day "fly-in" to lobby Congress to maintain soft drinks sales in schools; and to educate lawmakers on the "proper perspective" on soft drink use.

The industry plans to counter a U.S. Department of Agriculture proposal, announced in January, that would require all foods sold in schools to meet federal nutrition standards. That would mean that snack foods and soft drinks would have to meet the same standards as school lunches.

Nearly everyone by now has heard the litany on the presumed health
effects of soft drinks:

Obesity
Tooth decay
Caffeine dependence
Weakened bones

Natural Tips For Fighting A Cold
The Following Information Is From "The Doctors Book Of Home Remedies #2"
(unless otherwise specified)

What Are The Best Juices?
.
Orange, Tomato, Grapefruit or Pineapple Juice-At Least 5 glasses a day.
(Drinking Natural Spring Water Is Highly Recommended-Richard Markland)

Keep A Glass Of (Natural Spring) Water
On The Nightstand
.
Taking sips of water during the night moistens the nose
and helps breathing.

What To Do For Chills
.
Drink tea made with a teaspoon of ground ginger in water.

Exercise
.
A daily 45-minute walk can help speed recovery. A daily walk helps shake up and spread out natural killer cells. Exhaustive exercise will harm the immune system. Pacing yourself is important.

Avoid Antihistamines
.
Over the counter drugs only make you sleepy.

Avoid Aspirin And Tylenol
.
Nasal passages can be blocked. Virus fighting antibodies are reduced. Aspirin for a child can contribute to Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening neurological condition.

Snort Salt Water
.
If nasal sprays or decongestants are used for more than 3 days, the nose will become stuffier than ever. The natural way to treat a stuffy nose is by dissolving a teaspoon of salt in a pint of water, then use a nosedropper to drop it into your nose. Gently blow your nose on a tissue.

Sit In A Sauna
.
Researchers have found that if you indulge in a sauna twice a week or more, you are less likely to catch a cold. The high temperature may block the cold virus from reproducing.

Make Your Home Tropical
.
The lack of humidity is a major issue in catching a cold. When the nose and tonsils are dry, they cannot trap germs efficiently. It becomes difficult to sneeze and cough, so it's difficult to expel germs from the body. Turning down the thermostat and turning on a room humidifier keeps virus-laden mucus flowing out of your body.

Chill Out
.
People under high levels of psychological stress are twice as likely to develop a cold as those who report low stress levels.

Is there a correlation between the lack of good nutrition and disease? To find out what the medical profession, drug conglomerates and giant food corporations don't want you to know, just visit: www.worldnewsbulletin.com
A wide variety of natural alternatives to health will be posted in the days ahead as well as hazards presented by present day methods for dealing with disease. There is a cause and affect for what we are putting into our bodies.

The Bread We Buy-10 Alarming Facts

From Mount Rainier Clinic
1) Deceptive marketing practices are widespread. Much of the bread now marketed as "whole-wheat bread" is the same old refined white bread with a little brown coloring added. That coloring is usually burnt sugar, listed on the label as caramel. One manufacturer even added sawdust to replace the lost bran, calling it cellulose on the label and advertising it as "high-fiber" bread. It is legal to describe inferior flour as "whole wheat" on the label, even when the bran and germ have been removed in high-speed roller mills.

From AD Health Facts
2) The average person eats about 100 pounds or so of commercial bread each year. Besides eating the refined flour, the average person also eats these toxic items in the grain products: 2 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar, 2 pounds of skim milk powder, 2 pounds of yeast, 1 pound of “enzyme-activator,” 1/2 pound of sulfate, chloride and bromate chemicals, and 1/4 pound of other food additives. When all of these chemicals and nonfoods are eaten together, a multi-toxic effect occurs that has never been thoroughly studied by scientists. Surely, the cumulative effect of daily intake of such chemicals present in baker’s bread must be definitely disease-inducing over time.

From The Messenger
3) Some consequences caused by over consumption of refined white flours:
Nervousness • Insomnia • Constipation Edema • Dandruff • Dermatitis
Tooth Decay * Fatigue * Anorexia *Food Allergies * Muscle Weakness Increased Cholesterol * Digestive Weakness Premature Graying & Aging Impaired Immune System

From Walton Feed
4) Refined Flour
*The calorie content of refined white flour actually increases about 10% because of everything else that has been taken out.
*An average of 66% of the B vitamins have been removed.
*An average of 70% of all minerals have been removed.
*79% of the fiber has been removed.
*An average of 19% of the protein has been removed.

5) Bleached flour: When freshly milled, flour is slightly yellow. To whiten it, manufacturers either let the flour age naturally or speed up the process by adding chemicals (such as benzoyl peroxide or acetone peroxide) that bleach it.

From SmartNutritionGuide.com
6) Chemicals used in making bread today.
Aluminum chloride
Azocarbonamide
Benzoyl peroxide
Calcium propionate
Calcium sulfate
Chlorine
Chlorine dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide
Potassium bromate
Potassium iodate

From AD Health Facts
7) Some of the chemicals used as dough conditioners are similar to the anti-freeze mix used for automobile radiators. One of the chemicals used as a dough conditioner is polyexy ethelyne monosterate. Workers in factories where this chemical is made have been known to develop skin rashes, even from the fumes. Polyexy ethelyne monosterate is also used in making peanut butter, ice cream, candy, and salad dressings.

From Mount Rainier Clinic
8) Look for a loaf that states "only 100% stone-ground whole-wheat flour" on the label. Refrigerate it. Expect it to be heavier and chewier. Squeeze it. If your fingers go in easily and the bread springs back, it is not a nutritious loaf. If you don't eat it within a day or two, freeze it until needed. Expect to pay more. Whole-grain bread does not rise as much and contains more wheat than the same size loaf of refined bread. You are paying for more grain, more time for production, and less air. You will be much better nourished as a result.

From Womenfitness.net-
9) The flour used to make white bread is chemically bleached, just like you bleach your clothes. So when you are eating white bread, you are also eating residual chemical bleach. Flour mills use different chemical bleaches, all of which are pretty bad. Here are a few of them: oxide of nitrogen, chlorine, chloride, nitrosyl and benzoyl peroxide mixed with various chemical salts.
One bleaching agent, chloride oxide, combined with whatever proteins are still left in the flour, produces alloxan. Alloxon is a poison and has been used to produce diabetes in laboratory animals. Chlorine oxide destroys the vital wheat germ oil. It will also shorten the flour’s shelf life and nurture insects.

From Healthcastle.com
10) Being brown doesn't make bread necessary whole wheat or whole grain! Some brown bread indeed is added with brown coloring. You may find it listed on the label usually as "caramel coloring"!!! In addition, the term "multi-grain" bread, "rye" bread, "5 grain" or "7 grain" bread also doesn't mean that they always use whole grain in their formulation. In United States and Canada, only bread labeled with "whole wheat" truly uses whole wheat flour in their processing. Other "wheat bread" may simply use a combination of white refined flour and whole wheat flour. The key word to look for is "whole"!!
