    Bottled water in care is toxic
    BEWARE:
    Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!
    On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her
    breast cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause
    of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue..

    Sheryl Crow’s oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled
    water that has been left in a car. The heat reacts with the chemicals
    in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water.
    Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So please
    be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.

    Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind
    we need to know that just might save us! Use a stainless steel canteen
    or a glass bottle instead of plastic!

    This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical
    Center … No plastic containers in microwaves. No plastic water
    bottles in freezers. No plastic wrap in microwaves.
    GET: BPA FREE BOTTLES!!!

    Wow, I didn’t know that. I have a little bottle of emergency water but rarely drink it as it’s either hot (eww) or frozen.

    Cancer Update:
    food=medicine
    Food is the best medicine!
    https://wausaunews.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/big-hospital-finally-telling-the-truth-about-cancer-johns-hopkins/
    From article:
    c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

    d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.

    To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

    e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water–best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
    Wow!

    Vic's vapor rub
    FYI…Vic’s Vapor Rub:
    TWELVE SURPRISING USES FOR VICKS VAPORUB
    1. Decongest Your Chest
    The most common use of Vicks is to decongest your chest and throat area. When applied to the upper chest, it provides excellent relief of cough and congestion symptoms.
    2. On Your Tootsies
    Applying Vicks to your feet provides nighttime cough relief. Generously rub VapoRub all over your feet and cover them with socks. Your cough will subside.
    3. Achy Breaky Muscles
    Vicks relieves sore, overworked muscles. It increases circulation and provides almost instant aid. Use a generous portion and apply it over the aching area.
    4. Get Rid of Nasty Nail Fungus
    Rub VapoRub on your toenails if you suspect you have a fungus. Within days, the nail will turn dark—this means the Vicks is killing the fungus. As your toenail grows out, the dark part will grow off and you will have fungus-free feet. Keep applying the ointment over a period of two weeks to fully cleanse nail beds of any remaining bacteria.
    5. Stop Your Cat from Scratching
    To prevent Miss Kitty from ruining your doors, walls, and windows, apply a small amount of VapoRub to these areas. Cats detest the smell and will steer clear. Vicks can also be applied to your arms and legs if your kitty is prone to scratching you.
    6. Pet Pee-Pee Deterrent
    If your dog or cat is not yet potty trained, put an open bottle of Vicks on the area he or she likes to mark as their territory. The smell will discourage them from lifting their legs and wetting your rug.
    7. Headaches Be Gone
    Rub a small amount of Vicks VapoRub on your temples and forehead to help relieve headaches. The mentholated scent will release pressure in your head and instantly
    relieve pain.
    8. Humidify Your Sleep
    Vicks VapoRub can be used in special types of humidifiers and vaporizers. Ensure your humidifier has an aromatherapy compartment before using. The humidifier
    will circulate Vicks throughout the air and keep you breathing easy all night long.
    9. Paper Cuts and Splinters
    To prevent infection and speed up healing time, dab a small amount of Vicks on any small cut or splinter.
    10. Ticks and Bugs
    If you get bitten by a tick, apply Vicks immediately. The strong odor might help get the critter to release itself and stop bugging you.
    11. Reek-free Racehorses
    Professional racers smother VapoRub under the nostrils of racehorses on race day. The strong stench deters the stallions from the alluring odor of the female pony and
    keeps them focused on the race.
    12. Go Away Mosquitoes (love this one!!!)
    Apply small dabs of Vicks VapoRub to your skin and clothes and mosquitoes will steer clear. If you do get bitten, apply Vicks to the area and cover it with a Band-Aid to relieve itching.

    A wonderful thread JK ! We have stopped all soda and drink flavored seltzers or sparkling water. If we want a little more flavor we will mix 1 part pure fruit juice with 2 parts seltzer. Very refreshing. We are now walking a brisk 4 miles a day ( it takes about an hour ) and have removed as much processed sugar as possible from our diet. My how the pounds melt away and the muscles tone up. A delicious way to prepare baby carrots to leave in the fridge for snacking is to steam the carrots until cooked but still firm, I cook for about 4 minutes. Drain and put into a container for the fridge. Add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of Italian Dressing, 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Dill, 1 teaspoon of Mustard Seed. Stir and coat carrots, refrigerate and snack every time you open the refrigerator door.

    Agree, find soda too sugary, as bit of fruit juice and club soda does the refreshment trick for me. And coffee, but that’s another topic LOL.

    SOS _ FYI: Shared from my cousin!
    poisonous caterpillar
    Please take a look at this pic, and show to your children. If you see one of these caterpillars, do not pick it up or touch it. They are Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillars, and they are poisonous. My son played with one 3+ years ago and still…l remembers it very clearly. We ended up in the ER after midnight the same night because of the reaction he was having. It took over a month for everything to clear up completely and go away. I just saw one the other day, and thought I would post a reminder to other parents.

    Protein packed grain as Quinoa:
    http://vegetarian.about.com/od/glossary/g/whatisquinoa.htm?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareurlbuttons
    quinoa

    Quinoa is a favorite whole grain for three reasons:
    •First, it takes less time to cook than other whole grains – just 10 to 15 minutes.
    •Second, quinoa tastes great on its own, unlike other grains such as millet or teff. Add a bit of olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice and – yum!
    •Finally, of all the whole grains, quinoa has the highest protein content, so it’s perfect for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Quinoa is a gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole grain, is kosher for Passover, and is almost always organic.
