Hi Folks,
What is the secret? Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, at least a serving of one or the other with each meal. This is something that very few people do. Fast foods doesn't usually provide this. But it is sooo important. The certified nutritionists are now saying that a properly nutritious meal must include about three servings with each one of the three daily meals. Well only one good serving with each meal is more than adequate to help enough with mild breathing difficulties that inhalers will no longer be needed.
A great way to make you like and even pursue the eating of vegetables is to add a good pinch of sugar to the water, one-fourth teaspoon for a whole pound, when cooking frozen vegetables. It will not taste sweet, but will bring out the flavor which was lost in the processing of the frozen vegetables. I learned this searching the internet for cooking tips. It works. Also keep bouillon handy and poultry seasoning, or "mild" chili powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder/granules/salt at your fingertips to add to the water for a variety of flavors. Just one fourth teaspoon per pound of vegetables; probably more for chili powder. And always add a tablespoon of oil to the water, or butter when drained, or not. For a quick, filling stew, just add quick rice to it; it cooks about the same length of time as the frozen vegetables.
You can cook a single serving in a small pot with just about a half cup of water and just a pinch of sugar; and do it about as fast as you can bake a potato in the microwave.
Vegetables keeps hunger away longer, something about the fiber; you can google it.
Hope this helps.

Post titleCOLD AIR CAUSES PNEUMONIA AND KILLS THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH COPD
Hi Folks,
Yes! cold air causes respiratory distress. Not only when the body is cold, but even when the body is warm and cool air is breathed in, it causes the lungs and air passages to secrete fluids, which in the elderly and those with COPD makes it hard to breath. This is magnified greatly when an elderly person is in the hospital because the body is already distressed. It is the biggest cause of elderly death and also those with COPD. Any physician knows that pneumonia means fluid on the lungs and in most elderly cases and those with COPD is not necessarily caused by infection. Sure, antibiotics are administered, but that is done to prevent infection and not to cure it. For the elderly and especially the very elderly and those with COPD, it is very important to maintain an air temperature of not less than 74 degrees farenheit and critical while in the hospital and even more so if the patient is in ICU. A person in respiratory distress [struggling to breathe] usually feels hot but that is because the body is warm from the exertion of trying to breathe. When the distress is eased by warming the room, the person will cool down. At 74 degrees, the patient doesn't need much covers, just enough to be comfortably warm. When you enter the patients room, you will know if it is too cold and it almost always is. The nurses are, in many cases, cooperative in raising the thermostat to warm up the room. If they object, it must be insisted upon and they will cooperate. In most cases by saying that to warm the room is for the patients comfort [ which is true] will make those who object cooperate.
Think that the cold, flu, and pneumonia season is in the time of cold weather.

ESTROGEN IMBALANCE
Hi Folks,
This is amazing, but true. I learned that all female reproductive cancers, breast, cervical,uterine, ovarian, endometrial, are "fueled" by estrogen imbalance. This is easily verified by searching the internet. A simple blood test would show if the estrogen is out of balance. I called my Kaiser advice nurse and asked why this blood test wasn't offered as routine screening. Though she didn't want to answer, she finally said that if the blood test showed an imbalance, it would put markers in the woman's medical record. The insurance companies periodically review the records and if they saw the marker, they would cancel their insurance with that woman. The advice nurse added that Kaiser wouldn't do that. But neither do they offer it as routine screening.
There is "no" known cause for estrogen imbalance. This is, also, easily verified by searching the internet. Yet there are many maladies that were cured or prevented by simple observation of non-professional people; two examples are the English sailors knew that limes prevented scurvy about a hundred years before it was accepted as true by England's medical establishment and it was know that the bubonic plague happened generally in the cities and the people living in the country weren't nearly as susceptible. It would certainly be worthwhile for a woman to consider her environment; since it is a reproductive organ problem, could there be a reproductive activity that she is involved with that might be the causal factor? It is known that certain lifestyles that have greater problems of this nature.

GREAT REMEDY FOR ADULT CRADLE CAP; seborrheic dermatitis
Hi Folks,
I have used the prescription medications from the doctor, which only served to "control" the condition. Then I started searching the internet and happened on lavender oil. So I bought some, but it didn't work. Then I tried this product which I had, because I liked the fragrance, and it was more effective at controlling the condition than the prescription medications and with no side effects. And after a couple of months it didn't return for many months. With retreating it when it appeared, it didn't return for over a year. I sprayed the spots two to three times a day. It is a combination of lavender oil and other things. It is called LUSCIOUS LAVENDER aroma mist. It is made and sold by Feather Falls Soap Co. Enter the name into the internet search box to go to their site, which also has their phone number. I have no vested interest in this company. It just works. Hope this helps someone.
