Toxic Gas Alert
June 25, 2010 by Mark Sircus
Into the Ashes
Our very humanity and the nobility of medicine are on the line with the Gulf oil spill disaster. How we respond and what we respond with will be remembered, so we better get it right. Dr. Stuart Scheckner says though, “As a victim of mercury toxicity from a spill in my dental practice, I understand the insidious danger from poisons. The average physician does not have a clue when it comes to toxicity. Diagnosis and treatment of toxicity problems are not well understood by many physicians. Toxic rain and air will be a nightmare. How do you wake up those who represent us?”
The medical officials in the federal government who cannot recognize the harm and toxic dangers of mercury-laden vaccines and how they “might” have caused autism and other neurological and learning disorders in children are certainly not the people to lead us through this crisis.
Hydrogen Sulfide, commonly known as swamp gas: a normal level in the
air for it ranges from 5 to 10 parts per billion (ppb). At the monitoring station in
Venice, on May 2, the levels recorded were 30 ppb. The next day, May 3, the
reading was nearly 40 times that, at 1,192 ppb. The day after that, May 4,
it dropped down to 46 ppb, before rising on May 5 to 1,010 ppb.
The best suggested treatment of course is to have people try to avoid exposure as much as possible but because the government is hiding, as it usually does behind its smoke screens of convoluted communication, people are not taking precautions and the workers on cleanup are not being protected. My assistant in the Tampa area said, “People I’ve been talking to don’t seem concerned at all about this problem. They are all unaware of the dangers and think everything will just disperse, and that the beaches are the only problem.”

| The Crash of 2013 |
The United States is broke and in debt. The only people who refuse to understand that reality, and who refuse to care, are the big spenders in Congress and the White House. Disaster approaches, and what informed citizens want to know is exactly when the hammer will fall on our currency and economy. Now Moody’s Investor Service has given us a clue. First, some background.
We all know the U.S. issues and sells bonds at over 200 public auctions each year. These bonds are sold on the open market and are essentially loans to us from other nations (like China) and private investors (like banks and individuals). These lenders buy the bonds and expect to be repaid after a fixed period, say, 30 years. Meantime, they collect interest. The money Washington gets from taxes, and money raised from bond sales, is used to pay for everything in the budget, from two ongoing wars to Social Security and Medicare, and to pay that interest. Since America enjoys a “AAA” credit rating now, the interest Washington pays buyers of these bond loans is low. As this is written, the interest on a 30-year bond is 4.49 percent.
Because of prodigious spending by a congress that obeys every whim of a profligate White House, the debt these bonds represent grows astronomically. If spending continues at the present rate, by the year 2020 all taxes and fees the government collects will not be enough to pay interest on the debt and still fund budget obligations and entitlements, like your Social Security check.
Obviously, 2020 is not a deadline cast in concrete, and investors in the bond market will act long before it arrives. It is also obvious that investors will raise the interest rate they demand from a deadbeat borrower—if they will lend to us at any rate of interest. The signal that sets the markets on fire is when the U.S. credit rating drops from AAA to AA+ or lower.

Very good article. Just one problem; Washington isn't reading it, and could care less. Everybody in the world seems "to get it" except the people who are actually causing the problem, and the only ones who have the power to do something about. It all defies logical explanation. The only thing, that my frustration and absolute disgust with the regime in Washington, comes up with, is that Obama, Reid, Pelosi and and their ilk just don't care. They are purposely tearing down, with a scorched earth policy, everything about this great country. When everything is destroyed, they plan on building their own Socialist Utopia whether we like it or not. None of us peons know what is good for us, we are all stupid idiots, and not members of their enlightened group of Aristocrats. Just look back through history, and you'll see every century produces the same type elitists, who in rabid fury, and along with Lucifer, shake their fists in the face of God, and shout in one voice, "I will not serve!" History is full of two bit dictators who live for unbridled power, and bring untold
misery and suffering on the people they are susposed serve! As the saying goes, History repeats itself for those who ignore the past.

| The cult of omega-3 |
Hardly a week goes by without a new health claim being made of eating oily fish. But is it really as magical as we are told?
If there were a top 40 of good foods, a chart rundown of the right things to eat, then anything containing omega-3 fatty acids would have been number one for years. They even have their own international awareness day, which takes place this Wednesday.
Omega-3 is the name given to a family of unsaturated fatty acids found mainly in oily fish, such as salmon, herring, sardines and anchovies, and also in eggs, meat, milk and cheese.
Oily fish 'can halt eye disease'
The naturally occurring acids of the omega-3 family can apparently boost our brain power, keep our hearts healthy, strengthen our bones, and much more. You can ingest the fatty acids by eating a lot of the right kind of fish or by taking fish oil supplements - little golden capsules rich in omega-3.
Hardly a week goes by without yet another media report on "The wonders of omega-3 fatty acids" (as a headline in Canada put it recently).

Quick Relief from Anxiety and Stress Without Tranquilizer Drugs
By Tiesha D. Johnson, RN, BSN
Daily stress and anxiety not only wreaks havoc with our sense of well-being, but also shortens our lives by contributing to heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive impairment.
Drug companies offer medications to treat the symptoms of anxiety, but fears of addiction and side effects cause most health conscious people to avoid them.
Fortunately, alternatives are available in the form of natural botanical extracts—one of which was shown to be as effective as a leading prescription medication.
Prescribed as a medicinal herb since ancient Greek times, lemon balm has long been known to relieve anxiety, promote sleep, and sooth agitation. Since this botanical extract cannot be patented, its beneficial effects have been completely ignored by pharmaceutical interests.
Animal studies of lemon balm have produced impressive results with regard to stress reduction. In one study, researchers gave low doses of a lemon balm extract to mice. They observed a decrease in anxiety-related behaviors when the animals were placed in an unfamiliar environment.6 In the same study, higher doses of the lemon balm extract produced analgesic (pain-relieving) effects. Most dramatically, lemon balm extracts induced sleep in mice that had been given tiny (non-sleep-inducing) doses of traditional sedative medications.
A very recent study of herbs used in traditional Lebanese medicine as sedatives demonstrated that lemon balm extracts had the ability to bind to receptors that trigger relaxation and reduce anxiety in the brain.7
Human Studies Confirm Lemon Balm’s Benefits

| Russians in Ukraine |
The Law “On Languages in the Ukrainian SSR” was enacted 20 years ago, on October 28, 1989, long before the proclamation of Ukrainian national independence. Nevertheless, it marked a breakthrough of the national democratic forces and summed up long years of struggle of the Ukrainian intelligentsia against the Soviet regime. Ukrainian was proclaimed the official language: “In keeping with the Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR, the Ukrainian language shall be the official language of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.”
Ukrainian has remained the official languages over the past 20 years. It is an axiom unless one takes into account cheap political speculations and promises that, fortunately, will never become a reality (anyway, such is the opinion of sober-minded people). The editorial office of The Day has received a letter from our regular contributor Nadia Kniazev in which she writes about the anniversary of the Law “On Languages in the Ukrainian SSR.” She enclosed a letter written by Vitalia Kovalenko, a 15-year-old girl. The letter is entitled “What can I do for my native language?” This question was chosen for a poll involving The Day’s friends, young people all over Ukraine.
The anniversary of this law reminds me of Vladimir Putin and his 17 million, precisely the way the Russian prime minister described to President Barack Obama Russia’s approach to its relations with Ukraine during the US president’s working visit to the Russian Federation. He stressed that 17 million Russians live in Ukraine, and this is very important for Russia. Even as president, Putin repeatedly claimed there are 17 million Russians in Ukraine, without identifying to the source of this statistic. Still earlier in his presidency, in an interview with the popular Time magazine (December 2007), Putin declared that Ukraine’s 45-million population includes 17 million ethnic Russians, and that 80 percent regarded Russian as their mother tongue. I called Putin’s statistic into question and compared it with the official statistics.

| Eat Fat With Tomatoes to Absorb All the Nutrients |
Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidants lycopene and beta-carotene. But if you eat a tomato without adding a little fat, your body is unlikely to absorb all these nutrients.
Scientists recruited graduate students to eat bowls of salad greens with tomatoes and various types of salad dressings. The researchers put IV lines into the participants" veins and drew blood samples before and after they"d eaten the salads in order to get precise measurements of the absorption of nutrients.
When researchers went back and analyzed the blood samples, they realized that people who had eaten fat-free or low-fat dressings didn"t absorb the beneficial carotenoids from the salad. Only when they had eaten the oil-based dressing did they get the nutrients.
Source:
NPR July 27, 2009
Comments:
Tomatoes have long been known for their health benefits -- courtesy of lycopene, an antioxidant carotenoid whose health benefits include reduced risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, and exercise-induced asthma, just to mention a few.
Lycopene gives tomatoes their red color, and works by fighting damaging free radicals in your body.
But there are at least a couple of caveats that you need to be aware of.
First, researchers have discovered that other chemicals in the tomatoes help to boost the effectiveness of the lycopene, so you likely will not obtain the same health effects from lycopene supplements. In general, I am opposed to taking many supplements. I believe that it is far better to consume large amounts of whole foods, as outlined in my nutrition plan, and this is no exception.
Secondly, in order to absorb its nutrients, you need to eat your tomatoes with a little bit of fat.

| Making Your Own Probiotics and Enzymes |
Since time began, man has preserved his food through the process of fermentation. Humans live in a symbiotic relationship with yeasts, mold and bacteria. These organisms are in everything we eat and are even in the air we breathe. Historically each region of the world is known for it"s specific fermented foods.......such as....... sauerkraut in Germany, kimchi (fermented mixed vegetables) from Korea, Kefir (a cultured milk product from the Caucus Mountains), and Japan is known for it"s miso (fermented soybeans).
The list of fermented foods goes on to include fermented teas, wine, beer, hard cider, sourdough breads, fermented grain porridges, most vegetables and fruits....and even meat and fish. Rediscovering the miracle of fermentation has become an exciting and magical adventure as I continue to try my own hand at culturing the many different foods which are amenable to this process. I must admit however, that the thought of fermented meat and fish has not yet tempted me.
Beneficial Chemical Changes
Fermentation favorably alters the chemical nature of our food. Not only does it preserve the food but this natural process also improves its digestibility, while increasing nutrient and enzyme content.

| BE VERY Careful When Replacing Missing Teeth |
A dental implant is one option for replacing missing or badly diseased teeth. It is composed of an artificial root that looks like a post or screw and is covered with a dental crown.
Treatment involves the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone, where it is allowed to fuse to the bone in a process called “osseointegration.”
Once healed, the implant acts as an anchor for an artificial replacement tooth, or crown. The crown is made to blend in with your other teeth and is permanently attached to the implant.
A typical dental implant is made of pure titanium and/or a titanium alloy.
In fact, titanium alloys are widely used in both medicine and dentistry, for dental implants, pacemakers, stents, orthodontal brackets, and orthopedic implants (e.g., hip, shoulder, knee, or elbow). Not only is titanium strong, but many consider it biocompatible: it forms an oxide layer when exposed to air, and this purportedly results in reduced corrosion and superior osseointegration.
So why should you reject the standard titanium metal implant?

| How Large is a Petabyte? |

Comments:
If you"ve read my newsletter for any length of time, you know that besides
health I"m also passionate about technology in all its forms. When you look
at the breakneck speed of development of ever larger computer drives, it"s
truly Moore"s Law
in
action.
Moore"s Law, as you may remember, is a popular axiom that predicts that the
number of transistors per integrated circuit will double each year.
Two years ago we saw the introduction of the first terabyte (1,000 GB)
drive, inching us ever closer to petabyte storage, which may be as little as
another two years away.
The illustrations above are a great way to get an understanding of just how
large a petabyte really is.
Imagine a computer with a 1,000,000 GB drive!
