Dead Dr's Don't Lie
Years ago I remember hearing this information back before I had kids. I do not remember who gave me the tape but I will not forget what was said on the tape. Dr. Joel Wallach has been in medicine for years and has some startling information regarding how our bodies react when we do not have enough Minerals in our diet. Gray hair is due to not enough copper minerals, liver spots are due to low calcium amounts and he speaks about many other wild discoveries! You do not have to have wrinkles, vericose veins or crows feet if you just feed your body what it needs!! Truly amazing bits of info.
Feel free to check out his website at http://www.kingmaker.net/DeadDoctorstxt.html.
I also have several of his CDs that have even MORE valuable information. So if you would like to have a copy please email me at BIGRED1968@aol.com.

Dietary Supplement poisons 3 in TN
Ok, most of you know that I am in the health product business so I was shocked that I read this in the paper this morning. Three people in TN were poisoned after drinking a liquid supplement. The product is called TOTAL BODY FORMULA Orange-tangerine and tropical Orange or peach nectar flavor. If you do have these products THROW THEM AWAY!!!! THE FDA reported that the TOTAL BODY FORMULA supplement contained excessive amounts of the mineral called SELENIUM. This product is sold over the internet and in health food stores.
The company that makes the Liquid Supplement VIBE, is in Minnesota and they have their own techology lab and factory where they have scientists and specifically Dr. Ben Baechler making the products. Dr. Ben is one of the CEO's with ENIVA. Let me tell you that ENIVA stands behind all of their products and the safety measures that the products go through have been strictly tested. When you buy a product like a vitamin ONLINE...who is standing behind the integrity of that product? I feel safe, as do my customers, knowing that if something is not right with a product that I purchase that I can call ENIVA right away, talk to a live person, and explain what I have experienced and that they will take care of me. It is nice to be assured that what I am injesting is THE BEST thing for my body. Be safe when buying vitamins or anything that you are going to take.

Remember me???
Gosh, I really did not mean to totally ditch everyone and forget to blog. Call it being selfish and lazy 100%. Truth is out! I am very lazy...
Ok now back to the program..
I am back to tell you about the good foods that you should be eating and how the food that the government tells us is safe is not. If you are one of the thousands of families that use pancake mix to make breakfast on the weekends, you might want to go and check your cabinets... There is a recall on a certain brand of pancake mix.
Check it out: http://wayfm.typepad.com/jeffandstace/
What Tom and I are learning more and more is that YOU are responsible for what you eat. Do not allow companies to make your food for you. Hence why I blog about fruits and vegetables all the time! Wonder why there are so many food recalls now? Cause there are companies and factories that are making our foods now. Back in the 50's and 60's you had LOCAL people processing your foods..not some factory hundreds of miles away! Check out your local farmers markets and support them. We have friends that are in our church that are involved in a co-op and they will get food delivered to them, on a bi-weekly basis that is all locally grown or processed. Tom and I are thinking about getting involved in it just for the comfort of knowing that the food we get is supporting those locally and is safer. "But that will be so expensive. " you say. Yes, it will be more expensive but so is being admitted into the hospital for salmonella poisoning...its your choice.

Calcium supplements
There are so many women today who are on some type of calcium supplement. But let me tell you a little bit about it…if you were to go and pull that bottle off of your shelf in your kitchen, you would most likely see the ingredient “calcium carbonate.” Do you have any idea what that ingredient is??? Would you eat black board chalk on a regular basis? Calcium carbonate is nothing more than BLACKBOARD CHALK. It’s the ring around your bathtub and the scum around your faucets… calcium carbonate is the #1 ingrediant in most calcium supplements!! It is the same as the 15 lb bag of limestone that you can get at your local feed store! It was never intended to be used as nutrition for our bodies. When it is ingested, calcium carbonate just floats around in our bloodstream till it is deposited in our soft tissues making us susceptible to ailments such as bone spurs, kidney stones, hardening of the arties and gall stones. In fact this does not just pertain to just calcium supplements but the MAJORITY OF INGREDIANTS that are used in capsules, tablets and pills!!
"How do I get the calcium that my body needs," you scream..Well the simplest way to get it is through your diet. Include these foods in you diet: kale, collard greens, mustard greens, cabbage, seaweed, chickpeas, broccoli, red beans, soybeans (prepared properly), sesame seeds and raw nuts. Did hunters and gathers long time ago pop calcium pills? Heck no, they were out running around, getting exercise and foraging for food. They were out scrambling around throwing arrows, stalking prey and getting the nuts and seeds and greens that our bodies need.
Right now, go throw all those nasty calcium pills away and go eat a big salad filled with greens!!!

Say NO to Sugar!!!
Talk about having my eyes opened! When I read this chapter from the book, SKINNY B*TCH, I was forever changed. Whoever thought that a silly little cane plant could cause so much fuss? In fact the plant itself is almost perfect…its the extracting and filtering that turns a good thing into a not so healthy one. After it is all said and done, there is nothing left in the ”sweet white stuff” that holds any nutritional value. You would be amazed at some of the health problems that refined sugar is linked to. Here are some examples: weakened immune system, hyperactivity, ADD, enlargement of the kidneys and liver, mental and emotional disorders…do I need to go on??? If that is not enough, sugar also makes you FAT. Your body has a storing tank for sugar but when it get too full the amounts are returned into the bloodstream and decide to go and hang out on your thighs, hips and your butt. Oh what fun!
There is a really bad type of sugar that is found in all types of foods today mainly because it is cheap to produce. It is called high fructose corn syrup and it is found in juices, beer, yogurt, cookies, candies,and breads(sob). Did you know that Diabetes and obesity are directly linked to High Fructose Corn Syrup??? SAY NO TO SUGAR!!!!!
Now, I know that we live in the land of “sweet tea” and I used to be a consumer of the wonderful drink myself but once I read about the problems with sugar I quickly changed my tune and began ordering unsweetened tea or water with lemon. The good news is that now there are alternatives to refined sugar and they are actually pretty close at hand. If you are lucky to have a health food store such as WILD OATS or WHOLE FOODS, you are in for a treat.
One such sweetening product is called Agave Nectar. This plant is used to make TEQUILA. FUN FUN!!! We actually have a bottle sitting on our pantry shelf at this very moment and it is extremely versatile. We use it in everything from tea, coffee, and pancakes or anything that calls for a sweetener. It takes very little to make a HUGE impact of taste. Agave is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream and therefore does not spike blood sugar levels. It ROCKS!!
Another champion is STEVIA. The Japanese have been using this sweeter for years and years and South Americans for centuries. It is primary derived from a plant found in Paraguay. It is used throughout the world and helps balance blood sugar levels and helps aid in digestion. Some say that the taste is a tad bit difficult to stand and is not as friendly tasting as Agave. Stevia contains no calories, and is SAFE FOR DIABETICS. Alert- Alert!!!
Both of these alternatives to the “white powder” have wonderful health benefits to them. They can contain calcium, iron, potassium, protein, the B vitamins, magnesium, fiber and folic acid. (Say what??) So now you can have your cake and eat it too!!
Next time I will tell you about the BAD BAD artificial sweeteners out there one being ASPARTAME found in Nutra Sweet and Equal. Right now I want you all to go and throw out all of the splenda or any of those colored packets that you have in your pantry right now!!!!! After you have thrown it all out, then and only then can we talk….

Recipe for Edamame and shrimp
You were probably reading my SOY entry going, "what in the heck is edamame and what can I cook with it??" Well this morning in the paper I found a cool recipe so I wanted to pass it on to you..
SHRIMP WITH EDAMAME
1 lb medium shrimp, shelled, deveined and tails removed
2 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 teaspoons Shaoxing Wine (or Dry sherry)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons chicken broth
1 Teaspoon sugar
1 Cup shelled edamame
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons of cornstarch
1. In a medium bowl, gently mix the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the salt. Cover the shrimp with cold water and slosh around several times. Drain well and transfer the shrimp to a clean bowl.
2. Mix the shrimp with the cornstarch, egg white and 2 teaspoons of the wine. Set aside for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, and sugar. Set aside.
4. Heat a large wok over high heat until a bead of water dances on the surface and then evaporates. Add the peanut oil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and swirl to coat the pan. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute, or until they are just pink. Pour in the sauce, bring the liquid to a boil and toss to coat the shrimp well. Add the edamame, remaining 1 teaspoon of wine, and white pepper and stir-fry for 15 seconds, just to evaporate the alsohol and warm the beans through. Immediantely remove the pan from the heat.

Skinny B*tch
I got a very cool book for Christmas. The title is a little abrasive but the content is SPOT ON when it comes to taking care of your body. It is called SKINNY BITCH and the writers are Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. The whole concept is how to be skinny (taking care of your body) and how to be smart and think about the food that you put in your body. Crap = A crappy body. The language can be harsh (authors tend to use foul language to get point across) but I am not a prude and tend to not let the language bother me. :-)
The girls are great when it comes to explaining how sugar, meat, dairy and protein affect your body but yet they act clueless when it comes to SOY. They are HUGE SOY advocates. Needless to say, that I will be very picky about giving out info in this book. I must say thought that this is the second book that I had read that also states the the USDA is a sneaky goverment agency whose whole purpose is to make money. DUH! Therefore you really have to do your homework and do not rely on the goverment to tell you what is healthy and what is not. Be smart! Trust no one!
What till I tell you about Sugar...and Splenda. Arsenic is in Splenda. On that note, go make yourself another cup of coffee..

Working for the weekend
Yay! So glad the weekend is here. Getting back into the groove of school and then to have Ian in a new school kinda placed our family in chaos this week. Course the weather this week added a bit more excitement to things as well.
Today we are going to be taking down Christmas decor(yeah we still have the tree up) and get everything in boxes and put away. Lindsey decided that she did not want to go to horseback riding today cause she just wanted to chill out all day. I was shocked that she did that and in fact, SHE made the call to her teacher to say that she was not coming! Lindsey is 9 years going on 21 I tell you!!
Ian's new school is different in that the 5th and 6th grades do not have classes on Mondays. But they are expected to study and complete homework that is given out on Fridays. Yesterday was a huge struggle getting Ian to finish his 16 math problems that were assigned. He still has to write a skit that is to be one page but I am allowing him to do it on Monday along with studying his Latin words. Yes, Latin entered the picture once we started this school. I hope he gets the hang of it faster than I did in College. I still have nightmares over the verb conjugations!!
AMO, AMAS, AMANT, AMOMOS, AMANTIS, AMONT!!!
