First it was the birds that got the rap and now it’s the pigs. And so many fall hook, line and sinker for all the nonsense that devastation is going to descend and kill us all if we don’t have a needle jabbed into us!

There has been flu on this planet since time immemorial and we’re still here – in ever-increasing numbers. What happened to the so-called devastating effects of the last big flu threat – avian flu? It flew into non-existence and then died the death it deserved. It’s amazing how much fear a controlled media can create.

Here’s a calm and very sane viewpoint on the current media scare about swine flu from a congressman who is himself a doctor with decades of experience and who has been in Congress for more than three decades. Do yourself a favor and hear what he has to say about it here: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/10/ron-paul-federal-reserve-bank.html

The Sheriff’s Role and What He Can Do To Help You!

There are so many things I’m learning in this great country of yours. The latest lesson I’ve learnt is about sheriffs and that they have the highest law enforcement authority over their counties, namely that "the duly elected sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and has law enforcement powers EXCEEDING that of any other state OR federal official."

They are sworn to uphold the Constitution. The more I learn about that great document, the Constitution, the more my admiration increases for the wisdom of the founding fathers. What foresight into the vagaries of human nature and how cleverly they created a document that would protect every citizen, no matter what their political leanings, race, color or creed.

Here’s what Sheriff Mack has to say about the job of a sheriff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzC7dmyKG4E  and what your sheriff can do to help you if anyone tries to enforce vaccines on you or your loved ones.

Ways To Deal With Flu and Other Illnesses

The solutions to any immune-system threat are the same standard solutions since time immemorial. Do those things that boost your immune system and don’t compromise it even more with unproven, ineffective solutions that only enrich those without conscience.

Diet

1. Eat well (plenty of fresh salads, not overcooked vegetables and several servings of good quality protein – not junk foods. Good home-cooked food.)
2. Drink sufficient water with good minerals, calcium and magnesium. Dehydration is not caused by lack of water but by mineral deficiency. You can drink and drink and become more dehydrated. It is very important to understand dehydration and the causes. If you find you’re unable to quench your thirst, you’re dehydrated.
3. Plenty of good quality old fashioned fish oils and vitamin E with all its parts – not synthetic junk. Your body wants food sources as close to nature as possible.
4. Have sufficient B complex and vitamin C.
5. Get plenty of sunshine (for the vitamin D) and don’t block it out.
6. Get enough rest.
7. Do things you really enjoy.

The best way to ensure you’re getting a good balanced formula is with the Organic Life Vitamins. It is a balanced formula that has almost everything including trace minerals and minerals. Along with a glass of Instant CalMag-C, you’re pretty well covered.

Don’t forget to have fun too!

My Remedy for Illness

1. Ensure that the sick person is well hydrated. By this I mean they have enough minerals and some water or suitable liquid, like unsweetened fruit juice. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, salt – a good balance is the little balanced cell salts (salts = minerals) and Instant CalMag-C.
2. The main thing is to ensure they’re hydrated. Dehydration will weaken their immune systems and is the most dangerous thing that can happen to them.
3. Even if they’re a bit off color, follow the steps in #1 and #2 above.
4. Don’t force food on a sick person. Encourage them to sip a smoothie of a small amount of fruit, coconut milk (not soy as it inhibits mineral absorption), a raw egg or two (the yellow part) as food may be the last thing they want.
5. Ensure there is silence around anyone who is sick. Whatever you do, don’t voice any sympathy! You can show it but don’t voice it.
6. If there’s a fever, don’t worry about it. Be effective. A fever means that bacteria or viruses are being killed off (this is good) and is only dangerous if it gets too high. If this happens, place a large plastic bag on the bed with a towel on it, let the person lie on that with a cool wet towel on top of them. Keep wetting the towel until the fever breaks. A lukewarm to cold bath will actually work better but a sick person will most likely protest so do it on a gradient – encourage, don’t force.
7. Don’t panic about “symptoms” of the so-called swine flu. They’re the same as common flu. Reports are very generalized and embellished – designed to create fear. Even if it is swine flu, these handlings are still what I would do.

Handle as above and remain calm. Don’t give in to it. Use judgment, listen to Dr Ron Paul again and TOP everyone’s immune system up with good food, sufficient sleep, vitamins, minerals, oils, water and protein.

Nerves and Relaxation

“Although 99% of the calcium in the body is in the bones and teeth, symptoms resulting from an undersupply to the nerves and soft tissues can make life quite unbearable. For example, calcium aids in the transportation of nerve impulses. When this mineral is undersupplied, nerves become tense, and you become grouchy.

The calcium-deficient person wastes energy, and his nervous tension and inability to relax induce fatigue out of all proportion to the work he actually does.

He is usually so restless that it is tiring to be around him. His irritability and quick temper add nothing to his popularity…..”

Insomnia

“….A calcium deficiency often shows itself by insomnia, another form of an inability to relax…..”

Cramps/Spasms

“….An undersupply of calcium also causes irritability of the muscles which may take the form of cramps or spasms. If the blood calcium drops extremely low, convulsions known as tetany can occur; fortunately the usual muscle symptoms are less severe. Leg or foot cramps are the most common although either cramps or spasms may occur in almost any muscle.

Spastic Colitis and/or Constipation

“For example, spasms in the intestine, spoken of as spastic colitis or spastic constipation, are usually relieved by adequate calcium….”

Pre-menstruation, Menstruation and Menopause

“…..The amount of calcium in a woman’s blood parallels the activity of the ovaries; the blood calcium falls to such an extent during the week prior to menstruation that nervous tension, irritability, and perhaps mental depression result. At the onset of menstruation, the blood calcium takes a further drop, often resulting in cramps of the muscular walls of the uterus. This condition is especially severe during adolescence, when the demands of growth exaggerate the need for calcium. Menstrual cramps usually disappear within ½ an hour after calcium is taken.

“During the year before menstruation begins and again during menopause, the lack of ovarian hormones cause severe calcium-deficiency symptoms to occur; at these times unusually large amounts of calcium should be obtained, and every step be taken to insure its absorption into the blood and to prevent its loss from the kidneys. When these steps are taken, the girl at purberty often becomes more pleasant and manageable, and the woman at menopause usually loses her irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, leg cramps, and mental depression. Even after cessation of menstruation, a pseudo-menstrual cycle can usually be observed, and calcium-deficiency symptoms can be particularly noticed during one week of each month. The calcium intake should be increased at such times.”
 
Natural Painkiller

“….this mineral is a pain killer par excellence. Old medical textbooks give as the treatment for the sharp stabbing pains of pleurisy-than which there are few worse- injections of calcium. Why calcium has not been used more widely in alleviatinig other pain remains a mystery. (Comment: I guess that might just be because you can’t patent it!) One physician tells me that he uses no opiates but injects one to four grams of calcium gluconate into the veins of patients suffering even excruciating pain and that relief occurs almost immediately…..”

Editor’s comment: I have personal experience with calmag’s painkilling qualities. When I had my son, I drank about two litres (a bit more than two quarts) of calmag during labor. I had absolutely no pain and no contractions. My muscles were so relaxed I didn’t feel anything. Obviously that isn’t optimum. I didn’t even have a loose bowel from all the calmag, which I drank in a pretty short space of time. I definitely don’t advocate anyone try and stop the contractions like this because you need them to help deliver a baby. However, it demonstrated to me the power of calmag as a painkiller.

Hyperactivity

Kids running around acting a bit crazy or driving you nuts is a symptom of low calcium and magnesium levels and B complex. Too much refined carbohydrates and sugar deplete calcium and magnesium rapidly. Sugar alkalizes the stomach acids and this further prevents absorption of calcium and magnesium which both need an acid environment (correct pH) to be absorbed and used by the body.

So, you have a two-fold destruction or loss of calcium and magnesium when consuming refined carbohydrates (they convert to sugar in the body) and/or sugar-loaded foods or candy. One, your stomach becomes alkaline and can’t absorb the calcium or magnesium – and many other things like protein – and, two, it burns up any calcium and magnesium you might have in your body – creates deficiencies.

Muscle Contraction and Relaxation

Vitally important for the contraction and relaxation of your muscles, calcium and magnesium work together in this activity. Calcium contracts your muscles while magnesium relaxes them. The heart contracts  and relaxes to pump blood through your body. If you have insufficient calcium, it will be too slack and if you have insufficient magnesium, it can’t relax. This is basically a heartbeat. All your muscles work in this way.

Insufficient calcium and/or magnesium makes your nerves tense up and they pull on the muscles and this can cause misalignment of your spine too.

Calcium Absorption

In order for your body to absorb calcium, it needs to be in a certain ratio with magnesium – 2:1 – and it needs some kind of acid to create the correct pH so it can be absorbed. This can be in the form of apple cider vinegar or some kind of vitamin C.

Furthermore, your body needs vitamin D to be able to be absorbed into your bloodstream and it needs vitamin F (essential fatty acids) to be pulled into your tissues.

The best source of vitamin D is the sun but if you don’t get enough sun because you spend a lot of time indoors or its winter and there’s very little sun, you definitely need to make sure you’re getting it. The best nutritional source is cod liver oil.

Sunburn

The effects of sunburn come (besides the radiation aspect) come from insufficient tissue calcium. This occurs when people are deficient in the essential fatty acids.

Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium but vitamin F helps pull it into your tissues.

Fever Blisters

Breakouts are caused by the presence of the herpes virus in its various forms but the fever blisters manifest when there is insufficient tissue calcium. That’s one of the reasons why we need vitamin F (essential fatty acids). These are a mere drop in the ocean of why your body needs calcium and magnesium. There are many more chemical actions in your body just from these two minerals.

With kind acknowledgement to Adelle Davis.

One of those modern diseases that evades full understanding, more and more people are falling victim to is diabetes. What is missing in most people – diabetics and almost everyone else – is understanding of the condition and how it comes about.

When anyone is diagnosed as pre-diabetic or diabetic, they are most often warned about their sugar and refined carbohydrate intake (refined carbs turn into sugar too) but this is only a part of the problem.

Here’s a basic outline of what happens.

Your adrenals produce cortisol whenever you are stressed – mentally or physically. They’re your “fight or flight” glands that produce this hormone called cortisol.

Cortisol is also an anti-inflammatory so, if you’re producing cortisol, there’s inflammation. When there’s inflammation, that’s stress on your body and the adrenal glands do their job of producing cortisol. This is good.

The problem comes in when there’s underlying inflammation going on constantly in your body. This inflammation can be caused by stressors such as viruses, bacteria, metals, chemicals, yeast, candida, food sensitivities – you name it, so many things can cause inflammation – even a spine out of whack.

Cortisol is a hormone. Hormones are the chemical messengers of your body. If you have inflammation, under ideal conditions, the adrenals send out the cortisol to your cells. On each and every cell, there are “docking sites” called receptors. This is where the cells can receive the message, carry out the command “decrease inflammation” and send a message back to the adrenals “job done”.

If those receptor sites are blocked due to toxins (such as caused by the stressors mentioned earlier), the cortisol can’t get into the receptor sites and so the communication gets lost.

Because there’s no reply coming from the cell, the adrenals keep pumping out cortisol (hormone = chemical messenger) to deal with the inflammation, which never gets received or acknowledged so the adrenals keep sending out the cortisol.

Much like mailing a letter to the correct recipient and it just never gets there so you mail another one and another one and another one, but they never arrive and so on.

When this frantic attempt at getting the message to the cell to decrease inflammation continues on and on and on without any response, the cortisol begins to store fat around the vital organs of your body in an attempt to “provide future energy to protect the organs” because there is perceived danger to them.

However, this creates a danger for those organs too and can lead to other more serious disease such as liver, heart, pancreas problems. This is why people start to get a spare tire around their middle. It’s one of cortisol’s jobs, to store fat “just in case”.

Many people try dozens of diets to lose weight and may or may not lose the weight but it invariably returns. That’s because the source of the problem has not been addressed,  which could simply be the overproduction of cortisol due to unresolved inflammation.

Hormonal Imbalances

When the cortisol keeps pumping out to handle the constant inflammation, this does not allow for other hormones to “kick in” such as your sleep and sex hormones (melatonin, serotonin and DHEA – precursor to testosterone and estrogen).

You can call this a hormone or chemical imbalance – take your pick.

In most cases, the symptoms are treated or you’re told you have a chemical imbalance and you’re given some sort of a drug. Problem is that is not addressing the source of the problem and, in fact, worsens things because taking synthetic things will worsen the imbalance as the receptor sites get blocked with more and more garbage, making it more and more impossible for the chemical messengers to get into the cells through the receptor sites.

This then leads to weight issues, energy problems, sleep problems, mood swings, hot  flashes, lowered sex drive, depression, night sweats, etc, etc.

There are many answers to this question but I am only going to look at two of the more common, but hidden, ones.

Some of the more obvious symptoms of hormonal imbalances can be seen increasingly in our young people: girls going through puberty long before they should, the sex drive starting earlier in our young people and poor development in young men. This is alarming for the future of the race.

And, no, you are probably not suffering from some unknown mental illness. It is more likely that you are reacting to the constant onslaught of synthetic hormones and/or other toxins.

Below is a list of some of the symptoms that can be caused by hormonal imbalances and/or toxins:

• mood swings
• depression
• feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness
• loss of libido
• insomnia
• decreased energy, fatigue
• irritability
• weight gain or inability to gain
• uncomfortable menopausal (andropausal – male menopause) symptoms
• inability to concentrate
• and the list goes on and on……..

Many people get diagnosed with depression or other disease and meds are usually prescribed to  deal with them when they are actually having problems with an onslaught of synthetic hormones and/or toxins, thereby compounding the problem.  More on What is Causing Your Hormones To Get Imbalanced?

"I just want to let you know about the Helping Hands’ products that I’ve been taking for more than two years. I use the Junior Formula and Instant CalMag-C that has all the vitamins and minerals that are needed.
