Improve Your Health With A Pet

I don't remember a time I didn't have dogs in my home. I've always been healthy and have an extremely healthy 11-year-old son (he has been around dogs and cat his whole life!). I know the dogs have helped me with some stressful times. They were my motivation when my Mom died, again when my 17-year-old niece died unexpectedly and during the unexpected early menopause!

Others have noted:
Lowered blood pressure, encouraged exercise, improved psychological health— these may sound like the effects of a miracle drug, but they are actually among the benefits of owning a four-legged, furry pet.

“Research in this field is providing new evidence on the positive impact pets have in our lives,” said Rebecca Johnson, associate professor in the MU Sinclair School of Nursing, the College of Veterinary Medicine and director of ReCHAI.

“The few studies that have been conducted suggest that pet ownership may have multiple health and emotional benefits for both children and adults,” said James Griffin, a scientist at NICHD.

“Pets are of great importance to people, especially during hard economic times,” Johnson said. “Pets provide unconditional love and acceptance and may be part of answers to societal problems, such as inactivity and obesity.”

“The older people who walked their dogs improved their walking capabilities by 28 percent,” Johnson said. “They had more confidence walking on the trail, and they increased their speed.

I still miss my Tara after 2 1/2 years! She was there for me for over 18 years, we grew up together and had a deep deep love for each other. She helped me without even knowing she was helping so in her senior years I helped her. I cooked for her during her last 2 years. She had always been on natural healthy dog food but as she got older she didn't have enough digestive enzymes for dog food so I made pancakes for her. Pancakes were the only food she could handle for a long time. I also learned that she had trouble eating from a bowl so she ate from a plate.
Read Tara's 18th Birthday

Since my dogs have always taken great care of me and added so much to my life I take their care very serious! They deserve the same natural care as the rest of the family. Don't you agree? Great resource for natural pet care.

Real Food Burns Fat - ER Fat Burn Oct. 2009

Are you at your ‘no turning back’ fat moment?

If so, Dr. Heidi’s expecting you. A hedonistic nutrition guru who teaches comparative nutrition to Masters Degree students in Berkeley, Dr. Heidi was a fat kid. Her classmates called her walking ball. She never forgot it.

Over the last 30 years she’s immersed herself in food, nutrition and weight loss. Now, when she gains a few, she knows just what to do to get rid of them. She loves to help people get onto their own path to regain their shape, their self respect, their health.

Most people are first surprised and then relieved when they get into ER.

The fifth live ER Fat Burn program starts October 3.

“It finally just hit me,” she recalls. “I thought, This cannot be the way God intended me to be. I am too fat and too unhappy..."

So she tried again. She chose ER Fat Burn this time around, and set about healing herself with an intimate group.

It was not always an easy time. The slightest emotional upset, even certain songs on the radio, would set off ferocious cravings...

Stella's story's here. Plus early bird info for Dr. Heidi's October ER Fat Burn.

Sorry, just 7 live spots this time - those with the weekly one-on-ones with Dr. Heidi. (Because Dr. Heidi is teaching her new 9-month ER Fat Burn Certification program for ER Fat Burn graduates who want to teach ER Fat Burn themselves.)

"Give a woman industrial food and she'll get fat, sick and tired. Let her eat ER food and everything changes."

NOTE: Live intro call: What's ER Fat Burn? w/Dr. Heidi.
Tuesday, 5:30PM PT (CA) 8:30PM ET (New York). No charge. Just pick up the phone and call a couple of minutes before the time.

How Food Makes Us Sick

Have you ever wondered how we get sick? I've learned from Dr. Heidi Dulay that lots and lots of illness and poor health is because of food. Even if we follow the food guidelines from the government or our doctors, we still get sick, Why?



Among the body's systems is one of paramount importance, the autonomic nervous system, which controls many of the body's major functions automatically without any conscious input from you. In order to function correctly, part of which is body-healing and rebuilding, the autonomic nervous system needs to be supplied with real food - the true nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, enzymes, vitamins and minerals etc. provided by real whole foods and if these are not provided, the autonomic nervous system cannot do its job.

Chemically altered processed foods depleted of enzymes and fruits and vegetables grown in soils depleted of minerals do not provide the nourishment needed by the autonomic nervous system and they also give the body new unrecognized substances to deal with that can't be digested properly and that act as poisons in the body and weaken the organs and glands.

Certain well-known so-called "soft drinks" are highly toxic and shut down the liver and cause diabetes. Their "diet" counterparts are even worse and create symptoms that mirror the symptoms of MS, Lupus, Fybromyalgia and others. "Foods" radiated in microwaves become carcinogenic to the body. And people can also become allergic to or intolerant of everyday foods.

Enzyme deficiency, irritants such as alcohol and drugs, chemical preservatives, antibiotics, food allergies and toxins also create intestinal inflammation and contribute to the intestinal walls starting to leak those toxins and foodstuffs into the bloodstream. This leads not only to nutritional deficiencies but also to the body starting to attack itself and its own tissues and causes further allergies and all manner of unpleasant symptoms.

Source and more ways we get sick, Food Kills

This is very scary, especially for our kids. So what's the answer?
1) Eat real food.
2) Don't cook food in microwaves
3) Avoid synthetic ingredients in food and supplements.
4) Avoid colas and other soft drinks
5) Cook real meals at home (avoid junk - fast food joints)

Easy Pickled Jalapeno Peppers (Sept. 2009)

I planted one little jalapeno pepper plant this year. I rarely put these plants in the ground because they do so well in pots on my patio. This year my one little plant gave me so many peppers - I was desperate to find easy ways to save them.

*** Note I said EASY. I'm not that into canning etc. I just didn't want to waste my hot peppers but I couldn't use them quick enough.

That's when I came across an easy way to pickle hot peppers from The Blue Willow Journal. It's all done in the fridge, no heat at all, super easy!

All I used was Himalayan salt, organic garlic clove, vinegar and my jalapeno peppers cut into rings. It was super easy and the peppers came out perfect. After two weeks in the fridge they are still firm and can be used in any dish that I want to add spicy heat!



The next time I will not use all the pepper seeds. Mine are super HOT..... but very good.

Mike Adams on The Swine Flu Shot

Mike Adams from Natural News gives his take on the H1N1 flu shots. Come on Mike, tell us how you really feel!

From Mike Adams:
(NaturalNews) I admit, the thought of being injected with a chemical cocktail made by a pharmaceutical company and approved by the FDA with virtually no safety testing is somewhat tempting. Who wouldn't want the thrill and rush of being part of a grand pharmaceutical experiment, anyway?

On second thought, it may not be such a bright idea after all. Unless, of course, you enjoy the idea of falling into a long-term coma, being permanently paralyzed or suffering random neurological damage.

That's why there are ten things I'd rather do than get a swine flu vaccine shot:

#1) Eat nothing but McDonald's hamburgers and fries for 30 days straight until I cough up my own liver.

#2) Kiss an H1N1-infected pig smack on the lips.

#3) Legally change my name to "Barack Obama" and then announce it over the loudspeaker of a cowboy bar in rural Texas, just to see what happens.

#4) Be forced to work as a writer in the public relations department of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

#5) Base jump off a tall building with nothing more than a parachute made under the same quality control oversight as FDA-approved swine flu vaccines.

#6) Be subjected to forced chemotherapy at gunpoint, just like all the other U.S. teens who are kidnapped by state authorities and forcibly injected with chemo.

#7) Have all the superfoods in my pantry secretly replaced with MSG-laced processed food products made by Frito-Lay.

#8) Work as a biological hazards disposal volunteer in the "superbug ward" of a local hospital.

#9) Drink diet soda until my brain explodes from the aspartame exposure.

#10) Get a public relations job at the White House where my sole responsibility is to show the brain-numbed masses how to stupidly sneeze into their own shirt sleeves.

Fortunately, it doesn't look like I'll have to participate in any of these activities. Nor will I be forced to get a swine flu vaccine shot. Instead, I'm betting my life on good nutrition, lots of vitamin D, a high state of personal health and the complete avoidance of hospitals, vaccines, pharmaceuticals and ridiculous health advice from the "authorities."

Not everybody agrees with that, I've noticed. Some people prefer to play Russian Roulette with their neurology, lining up and begging to be injected with a highly experimental vaccine that somebody somewhere insists is perfectly safe. They're also the same ones, coincidentally, who are drinking diet soda, eating processed foods and chowing down genetically modifried fast food burgers on a daily basis.

These people are so sick all the time that even if they get infected with H1N1, we won't have any way to tell! I just hope they wash their hands fifty times a day and sneeze into their shirt sleeves, too, because a new, nationally-mandated obsessive-compulsive disorder is precisely what America needs in the middle of a pandemic.

What Are Good Fat Burning Foods?

I've read so many books trying to find the best fat burning foods. What I've found is surprising, we need REAL foods to burn fat and when we eat healthy we get healthy and lose weight. Real food is not from a box, it's not cooked in a microwave oven, it isn't instant foods where you just add water.

Every diet shows you someone who’s lost big weight.

But almost no one can sustain the diet and so, everybody gains it all back. Like Oprah.

No matter which diet it is, people complain they are hungry all the time. One day they have it up to here, explode in an eating frenzy and write off another diet.

What if you knew there was a weight loss program where you were NOT HUNGRY anymore? Wouldn’t it be easier to stick with it?

Well guess what – the #1 surprise comment from nearly ALL ER Fat Burn participants:

“I’m not hungry anymore!”

And that’s one of the big secrets of the ER program

From the first day almost two years ago, people in the program say they don’t feel hungry anymore.

What better way to stay on the weight wagon?

You ready to try a weird weight loss program where most folks are not hungry anymore?

Dr. Heidi’s a hedonistic nutrition guru who teaches comparative nutrition to Masters Degree students in northern California.She also has a private weight loss practice. Dr. Heidi was a fat kid so her classmates called her walking ball. She never forgot it.

For 30 years she’s immersed herself in food, nutrition and weight loss. Now, when she gains a few, she knows just what to do to get rid of them. She’ll tell you a few secrets she’s learned so you can get onto your own path to regain your shape, your self respect, your health.


Read more at weirdfoodsburnfat.com. Dr. Heidi teaches how to burn fat with real food, no shakes, no pills or potions. No promises what eating real food will do for you but if you did lose weight with side benefits would it be worth it to you to know more?

Whole Food Nation Pays Shipping For YOU

Online shopping annoyance

I buy a lot of products online and always felt a little cheated over the shipping charges. I would backtrack and compare prices on similar sites. If it was a product I knew and loved I accepted it and figured someone has to pay to ship my stuff to me.


But it doesn't have to be you covering the shipping charge.....

Starting today, "We Pay Shipping for You" (in the US and Canada) is in effect for the whole food multi - Pops, and the new whole food source vitamin B-Complex - Big B from Whole Food Nation.



I know you are asking - What's the catch? Why are you doing this? Did you add to the price to cover?

None of the above.....We suddenly realized that whatever marketing money we might spend on a billboard, or on traffic generation programs, well, we can use that instead to pay the UPS man for you.

Because. We were blind to tradition - that's the way things are done online. But not anymore. Phew!

We love you way more than strangers we don't even know. This is one small way we've finally figured out to show you we are grateful you buy the whole food based vitamins that we've designed ourselves and use ourselves. (Dr. Heidi designed and I get to use, hehehe.)

So that's the story - all facts, all for you - because we value you that much.

Have you experienced having Whole Food Nation pay shipping for YOU?

Best Vitamins to Buy - Not Fake Vitamins

Most vitamin supplements sold today are synthetic. Even the natural vitamins might not be healthy and can have synthetic ingredients. 90% of all synthetic vitamins end up in the toilet or worse, sit in your colon adding health risks. See picture from Dr. Heidi. I'm sure Ive taken a vitamin like that one at some time!

Why do companies make vitamin supplements that add risk instead of benefit to our health? It's about money, they make the vitamins cheap and sell to retail stores with their profit, the retail stores have to add their profit so you end up paying a whole lot more for chemical supplements that are a waste of your money.

These retail stores are not specialist with nutritional supplements.

Don't sell yourself short! Many retail outlets and online sellers are primarily interested in your money, not your health.

You wouldn't go to Mac Donald's for a nice filet mignon, would you? The same attitude should apply to your health products.

Ideally, it would be best for you to receive all your nutrition from REAL foods, unprocessed clean food. Unfortunately, it may not be practical or possible for you to do that 100% the time. So if you need or want to supplement with vitamins make sure you take a Whole Food source multivitamin. Know how to read the ingredients. If the ingredient lists weird names - it is likely synthetic. Why risk putting synthetic ingredients in your body when there are better options?

Whole Food Nation offers Whole Food Multis and Vitamin B superfood. Starting today the company is paying shipping for you on supplements in US and Canada. And they offer discounts based on quantity (it's not some crazy amount, it is from 4 boxes up).

What's really in those Pops? Full ingredients in the Whole Food Nation supplements.


Big B - Vitamin B Natural Superfood

See what Whole Food Nation is all about, no secrets, no promises, just whole food source supplements from Dr. Heidi Dulay.

If you want to know more about synthetic vitamins, read on:

A synthetic vitamin or mineral is a laboratory simulation of a simple version of the real thing. In the plant, the vitamin/mineral lives with many other vitamins, minerals and nutrients - the "cofactors" the body needs to absorb and use it.

If the cofactors are missing, as they are in synthetic vitamins, the body steals them from its organs, bones, muscles and other tissue. That's why taking synthetic vitamins/minerals over time can be harmful to your health. They deplete the body of other nutrients. For example, taking synthetic calcium regularly depletes the body of magnesium.

Multivitamins - blends of synthetic vitamins and minerals - don't remedy this problem. The concentrations of the vitamins and minerals in the formulas are rarely those found naturally in the plant. And many of their cofactors are missing. Some haven't even been discovered yet!

Synthetic vitamins are super-processed. They are usually manufactured at high temperatures and contain artificial or toxic ingredients, such as dyes, preservatives, coal tars, sugars, starch, and other additives. Kind of like paint or plastics.

Why would a manufacturer of health products do this? Aren't they in business to help us improve our health? Well, marketing concerns often overtake nutritional goals. Extending shelf life, making products look or taste better, meeting machine requirements, and lowering manufacturing costs, usually take precedence over nutritional value. The resulting supplements become pretty useless to us. Some experts say that they might even be dangerous over time.

3 Studies

#1. Study using synthetic beta carotene and Vitamin E halted. (reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, 1994) 29,000 male smokers were given synthetic beta carotene and synthetic Vitamin E. The study was stopped when rates of lung cancer, heart attacks and death increased.

#2. Birth defects increased for women on synthetic supplements (reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, 1995) 22,000 pregnant women were given synthetic Vitamin A. The study was halted because birth defects increased 400%.

#3. Men get thickened arteries on synthetic supplements (reported in Reuters Health, March, 2000). Men who took 500 mg of synthetic Vitamin C daily over 18 months showed signs of thickening of the arteries.

Dr. Zoltan P. Rona, M.D., says that while a healthy person will not drop dead immediately after ingesting synthetic supplements, "the long-term consequences of continuous, daily intakes are potentially dangerous." Reactions include fatigue, memory loss, depression, insomnia and potential liver disorders. ©2007, Staying Alive Press, All Rights Reserved

Whole Food Nation markets a little whole food multi. One reason it was created is because the company nutritionist,Dr. Heidi Dulay, believes - along with many doctors - that synthetic vitamins are mostly wasted in human bodies. Whole food source, she believes, is absorbed and used better.

Based on her 20 years' experience and the massive research available, that is what the company created and now markets. This is a point of view. It's ours. For any point of view, there will be another. This is our world view. What's yours?

Z928

This voluntary recall was initiated by Arbonne as a result of discovering the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the recalled lot. No other lots are affected. The organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa may cause dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, and a variety of system infections, particularly with users who are immunosuppressed.

Kellogg Eggo Waffle Recall - Sept 2009

Georgia Agriculture Department Finds Listeria in Sample of Eggo Buttermilk Waffles at Atlanta Plant

September 2, 2009 - A laboratory test by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) found Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of Kellogg's Buttermilk Eggo Waffles manufactured at an Atlanta plant.

The sample was taken as part of a routine inspection by GDA of the Kellogg's plant at 5601 Bucknell Dr. SW, Atlanta. This product was not shipped into the marketplace.

While no illnesses have been reported, out of an abundance of caution, Kellogg is voluntarily recalling a limited number of the following products produced in the same facility:

• • Kellogg's® Eggo® Cinnamon Toast waffles, 10-count package, UPC code 3800040440 with Best If Used Before" dates beginning with:NOV22 10 EA, NOV23 10 EA and NOV24 10 EA.
  • Kellogg's® Eggo® Toaster Swirlz™ Cinnamon Roll Minis eight-count package, UPC code 3800023370 with a "Best If Used Before" date beginning with NOV15 10 EA.

Kellogg voluntarily ceased production at the plant, began an investigation to determine a possible cause of contamination and began a regimen of cleaning and sanitizing. Kellogg will execute its hygienic restoration plan under GDA before it resumes production at the plant.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially serious disease. The most common manifestation of listeriosis is meningitis, which has symptoms of high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections to infants, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems such as persons with chronic diseases or taking chemotherapy for cancer.

Does Exercise Help Burn Fat?

Time published this article Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin in the health section. It has stirred a lot of reactions.

What if instead of people screaming that exercise is the key to weight loss, we actually read the article and opened our mind to the possibility?

Weight loss is not a one size fits all so not everyone will burn fat with exercise.

I for one know that it's very possible and likely to burn fat without exercise! Yes, it is a fact. Dr. Heidi Dulay's ER Fat Burn programs have been hugely successful with people losing weight without exercise. It's based on eating real food. When we take the fake food - high carbs - wrong fats - sugars - and industrial food stuffs out of our diet we will lose fat. We stopped putting fake foods in our bodies and the fat came off.

Are you dieting backwards?
Bad Good Food Video w/Dr. Heidi

From Time...
"Could pushing people to exercise more actually be contributing to our obesity problem? In some respects, yes.

If evolution didn't program us to lose weight through exercise, what did it program us to do? Doesn't exercise do anything?

In addition to enhancing heart health and helping prevent disease, exercise improves your mental health and cognitive ability. A study published in June in the journal Neurology found that older people who exercise at least once a week are 30% more likely to maintain cognitive function than those who exercise less. Another study, released by the University of Alberta a few weeks ago, found that people with chronic back pain who exercise four days a week have 36% less disability than those who exercise only two or three days a week.

But there's some confusion about whether it is exercise — sweaty, exhausting, hunger-producing bursts of activity done exclusively to benefit our health — that leads to all these benefits or something far simpler: regularly moving during our waking hours. We all need to move more — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says our leisure-time physical activity (including things like golfing, gardening and walking) has decreased since the late 1980s, right around the time the gym boom really exploded. But do we need to stress our bodies at the gym?"

I'm not saying that we can sit around being couch potatoes all day and lose weight. I am saying in the first ER cycles of fat burning (weight loss), exercise was not necessary for the fat to come off. Exercise was optional, if we were already exercising Dr. Heidi said we could continue. Adding exercise was not needed!

If people are not losing weight with exercise, maybe it's time to realize there are other options like the food we eat....

Swine Flu Vaccine Dangers

I don't take any flu shots and don't get the flu. I believe in preventive measures but NOT with drugs and chemicals. Start with eating real food...

Anyway, I decided to give some info about the swine flu vaccine dangers including what people are saying about the 1976 swine flu vaccine, swine flu vaccine deaths and different swine flu vaccine side effects. I'm not saying no one should get the flu shot, I am saying do your homework and be prepared for any side effects.

Warning: Swine Flu Shot Linked to Killer Nerve Disease
A warning that the swine flu vaccine has been linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the UK Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.

The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, was leaked to The Daily Mail, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.

It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.

The letter refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:

• More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu
• The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times
• The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear
• The U.S. Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected
• Full Mercola Story
  

Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America
The Daily Mail August 15, 2009

Swine flu – to flu shot or not to flu shot – that is the question.
While the new vaccine for H1N1 is not yet on the market – and the testing trials not even finished, individuals need to take charge of their own medical decisions especially in regard to a vaccine that has not been widely tested. Many healthy people in the past have had allergic reactions to the regular flu shot sand even though the CDC says they are rare – they do happen. Do your homework before taking this shot or giving it to your loved ones. There are many factors to be considered other than fear of the flu outbreak. Full Story...



Safety Questions Over Swine Flu Vaccine
Many are concerned that the drugs to help prevent the swine flu could actually be more dangerous than the swine flu itself; of significant concern because those first being vaccinated will receive medicine that was not fully tested, said the Herald. According to the Herald, the British Neurological Surveillance Unit has stated its concerns regarding the swine flu vaccine and Guillain-Barre syndrome. Guillain-Barre is the nerve disease linked to the deaths of 25 people following the 1976 swine flu vaccinations in the U.S. Full Story...

Thimerosal, organic mercury, swine flu and you.
Many vaccinations, such as the swine flu vaccine now being foisted on an unsuspecting public (I strongly encourage you to read Mark Reinoso’s column), contain a preservative made with mercury. Why? Well, vaccines are often delivered to a doctor’s office in a multi-dose vial with a rubber stopper. You’ve probably seen a nurse or doctor poke a needle through the rubber and draw some fluid into a syringe. After that first puncture, bacteria could enter the vial and contaminate the vaccine, so it needs a preservative. Full Story...

Rising concerns over safety of swine flu vaccine
Our health, when it comes to the swine flu threat, rests in the hands of five or so giant pharmaceutical companies who are racing against time to create vaccines that work. But can we trust companies who are facing lawsuits for such things as "jaw death" filed against Novartis, or failure to warn about dangerous side effects, filed against Sanofi-Aventis? Do these pharmaceutical companies have the best interests of the public at heart, or are they chasing after a "bottom line" of profit goals? Baxter, one of the key companies which has developed a swine flu vaccine, has already reported profits as a direct result of the swine flu.
