How To Survive A Heart Attack When Alone

Let's say it's 6:15 PM. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset, and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately, you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves......

By coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without letup until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.
In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

The Top Five Cancer Causing Foods

The following information on the top five cancer causing foods has been credited to Mike Adams, known as the Health Ranger. According to Adams, the top five cancer causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs are high in sodium nitrates. The Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you really crave them, then buy those without sodium nitrates.

2. Bacon and processed meats. Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs. Bacon and other processed meats increase the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to the risk of cancer.

3. Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble! First, they are made with white flour, sugar and hydrogenated oils, then deep fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams, may be the worse food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries are also made with hydrogenated oils and deep fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer causing acrylamide which occur during the frying process. Acrylamide is a chemical that can form in some foods during high temperature cooking processes, such as frying, roasting and baking. Acrylamide caused cancer in animals that were exposed to high doses of acrylamide, according to studies done by the US FDA.

5. Chips, crackers and cookies. These are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even those whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Watch out for those spoiled onions

There were times when I had used just half an onion in my cooking and kept the remaining half in the refrigerator for later. Reading this article have completely changed my mind. I'll just have to buy smaller onions from now on.....

Watch out for those spoiled onions...

Written by Zola Gorgon - author of several cookbooks...

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, makers of mayonnaise. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers. Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone

asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you.

Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quintessential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials

look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?) Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not

homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES. He explained that onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions.

You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator. It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your

hotdogs at the baseball park!)

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble.

Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolise onions.

Essiac - Canada's Remarkable Unknown Cancer Remedy

I'm a bookworm with a capital B! I have on my bookshelves, in boxes and heaven knows where else, hundreds of books and magazines acquired in the last 20 years or more. The bulk of these books and magazines are mostly about health, aromatherapy, natural healing, international cusine, art (which is my craft), and needlework.

Recently, I decided to sort through this precious collection of mine and see if I could get rid of some really old ones, especially magazines that are somewhat tattered after all these years in storage. Whilst flipping through a really old issue (like 14 years old!) of a craft magazine called "Workbasket" ( no longer in publication now) an interesting advertisement caught my eye. The attention grabbing title Canada's Remarkable Unknown Cancer Remedy was followed by an interesting article written by Richard Forester. I have included here some excerpts from that article which provides interesting information which some might find helpful.

Canada's Remarkable Unknown Cancer Remedy (Workbasket, July 1995)

By Richard Forester

"Did you know that thousands of people in Canada suffering with terminal cancer have been successfully treated and reportedly many totally cured with a safe herbal remedy called Essiac? It costs next to nothing (compared to conventional cancer treatments), has no side effects, and can be easily obtained!

Did you know that one of the most prestigious doctors in America, President Kennedy's personal physician, Dr. Charles A. Brusch MD, helped perfect the original formula, cured himself, using only Essiac, of deadly bowel cancer, and has used Essiac in his Cambridge, Mass. clinic ever since with remarkable results?

Did you know that people from around the world have flocked to Canada to get their hands on what reportedly could be the most effective non-toxic remedy against CANCER ever discovered?

Here are just two examples:

May Henderson, stricken with tumors in both breasts, said, (after taking Essiac for just a few months) "the lumps seemed to grow harder, but then the turning point came and I discharged great masses of fleshy material." Still healthy years later, she has never had a recurrence.

Peggy Good, suffering from ovarian cancer with a tumor as big as a grapefruit, was given Essiac. After six weeks of ingesting it, an incredible event took place in the middle of the night:

"I'm wetting the bed," Peggy thought. She looked under the covers, thick, greyish matter poured from her. "It looked like scum, like pus!" When she returned to the cancer clinic for a scheduled examination, the doctor gave her a clean bill of health.

Essiac, it is believed, somehow causes all the cancerous cells to retreat to the site of the original tumor, which then shrinks and discharges... often to vanish altogether. Reportedly, numerous cases support this claim!"

Richard Forester went on to say that the reason why Essiac was not more widely known could be due, in large part, to the enormous power of the American Drug & Medical Establishment to protect the profits of their billion dollar industry.

"After all, Essiac is an extremly inexpensive alternative cancer treatment, has one heck of a track record, and has none of the dangerous side effects associated with chemo-therapy, radiation and surgery, the most widely prescribed treatments by the Medical Establishment."

Richard Forester also suggested that one should write to The Alternative Treatment Information Network (in existence at the time of his article, not anymore now) and ask for a copy of the Essiac Report, a "vitally important book which presents for the first time virtually all the facts surrounding Essiac."

After googling to find out more about this "remarkable cancer remedy", I found that Essiac is a formulation of 4 different types of herbs that make up the Essiac tea. The four herbs are:

1. Burdock root

2. Indian rhubarb root

3. Sheep sorrel

4. Slippery elm (the inner bark)

Apparently, apart from being touted for it's anti-cancer treatment, Essiac have also been used to treat diabetes, Aids and gastro-intestinal diseases.

Cancer Cell Killer - Guyabano, The Soursop Fruit

I received this interesting write-up on the delicious soursop fruit in an email. The soursop has always been one of my favourite fruit, and soursop juice is deliciously refreshing and addictive - because once you've tried it, you'll be wanting more of it. And why not, since research has unveiled the many medicinal properties of this delectable fruit, especially it's role as a cancer cell terminator! I can't think of a more delicious way to stay healthy.

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.
Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It's completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?
This tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil, guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon
Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss.
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing... Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts
down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched--so why haven't you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--and for many, our very lives(!)--are controlled by money and power.

Graviola--the plant that worked too well

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties--and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to
synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious....

.....The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...

....Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials--the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a
treatment's value--were ever initiated...

.....A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."

.....The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

....A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers... Seven years of silence broken!
