Slouching Toward Orwell’s 1984
By Jeff Lukens

George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” tells of an advanced world where there are no individual freedoms, and the state uses fear to manipulate and control people to conform to a prescribed belief. In the book, the Party maintains absolute power, and power has become an end to itself. His book is as relevant today as ever. In the age of Obama, the freedoms that define American life are slipping away and being replaced with ever more state control.

In Orwell’s book, the Party constantly rewrites history and rewrites the language to restrict the true meaning of words and the ideas behind them. They eliminate words to reduce vocabulary and thereby reduce uncontrolled thoughts. Doublespeak makes people believe what they would otherwise know to be false, and is encapsulated by the phrase: “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.” Orwell defined doublethink as, “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

In the book, the Party rewrites historical documents to match an evolving propaganda line, which changes daily. They amend newspaper articles, destroy evidence, and delete the existence of people identified as “unpersons.”

More than any other facet of the novel, political rhetoric today is designed to shape the thoughts of people toward the party line. While we all accept that thievery is wrong in our personal lives, the government makes thievery by taxes a great virtue for “the public good.” Global warming advocates claim to be “saving the planet” when in fact they have no evidence their polices will do anything of the sort. Those who doubt their claims are called “deniers.” And while jihadists are still killing our soldiers, we now call the global war on terror an “Overseas Contingency Operation.” The list is virtually endless.

Similar to Orwell’s 1984, our personal possessions today are fast becoming only what the state allows us to have. Employment is found ever more within government. The Party (you know which one) is gaining control our health care, our cars, our insurance companies, our schools, and our banks. Let’s just say they are gaining ever more control or our lives.

Democrats draw their support from the ignorance and complacency of their electorate: the Proles, as Orwell would say. People fear that if they oppose this mad dash toward collectivism, they may be stripped of what few gifts the government allows them to have. Big Brother may be watching.

Intentional or not, rational discussions on issues are increasingly harder to achieve. Try having a coherent debate with a committed Leftist and it will often break down to emotional appeals, unsupported accusations, and outright name-calling. And as for our Big Brother, whose cool demeanor precludes such behavior, the tactic is more like, “Are you talking to me?” Question his policies and you quickly become an unperson.

Barack Obama utters soothing tones that seem comforting on the surface, but his policies only prescribe more misery, and in the end only strengthen the state. His apparent contempt for the Constitution, the rule of law, and Founder’s intent can be waved off with the flicker of his hand, and a bit more empathy on the Supreme Court. Individuals who think independently are a threat to him, and the last thing he wants is to be held accountable for what he says. With the aid of the adoring media, so far he hasn’t had to.

Today’s media is almost as one-sided as Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. Their cheering on Obama is as close to groupthink as anyone has ever seen. Most news coverage is all Obama all the time, and news shows are even broadcast from inside the White House. They have lowered journalistic standards to the point where they allow very little discussion of dissenting opinion.

In Orwell’s 1984, telescreens announce economic production figures that are grossly overstated, or simply invented, to show an ever-rising economy when there is actually decline. In our case, no matter how robust the economy has been in recent years, the talking heads have always warned of looming recession. Now that economic hardship has arrived, mostly by the hand of an intrusive government, they vilify the free market and encourage ever more state control.

Unlike the book, our government does not torture people. Instead, they confiscate personal possessions through taxes and wantonly squander it. It is not the physical torture of people they cause, but their financial ruin and dependency.

Consider a government-run health system where individual choices are removed, and the patient—faced with a major illness—is left to the mercy of faceless government officials to decide whether he or she lives or dies. Could we become a nation where the old and infirm become too costly to care for? In the name or progress, rationed care could replace the most advanced health care system in the world.

A state-controlled health system could easily become an avenue by which all food perceived as high fat, high sodium or otherwise unhealthy is prohibited, taxed and strictly controlled to save money for the state. By way of new regulations that we cannot yet imagine, the authority of the state over the individual could easily reach far beyond issues of health with a single-payer health system.

The American way of life has never been about fear of our own government. We have always been a nation where each person is unique and worthy of respect. If we wish to remain a self-sufficient people where the rule of law provides a governing framework for our way of life, we need to take steps to preserve it.

We are nowhere near the level of tyranny found in Orwell’s 1984, but we move closer to it each day. The state seizes ever more power over the individual simply because it can. Orwell warned that no one ever seized power with the intention of relinquishing it. This is the nature of the state, and is why the Founders created a government with divided and enumerated powers. It is also why we all need to oppose the growing threat to our freedoms posed by Barack Obama and his statist allies on the Left.

An effective, safe weight loss recipe...

This week’s topic is weight loss. America is becoming an obese nation, but there is a solution. Losing weight does not have to be difficult or a long process. To start out, you will need to exercise.  The most effective exercise is walking. Try to walk about 30 minutes a day. This will significantly help your cardiovascular health as well as help shed pounds. After exercise I recommend a 30 day cleanse program such as Evercleanse to get the body cleansed of toxins and help take off weight. Here are my recommendations for safe, effective weightloss:

1) Start walking 15-30 minutes a day.

2) Start a 30 day evercleanse program to help in weight loss and cleanse the instestines to get the body ready to absorb nutrients better. Evercleanse is a detox and weight loss formula that detoxifies the body and cleanses the instesitnes of waste material. It aids in weight loss better than most over the counter weight loss drugs and has been proven to be effective. Evercleanses comes in several packages ranging from $39.99 to over $200. It can be found at www.evercleanse.com or be purchased from www.gnc.com .

3) After the 30 day Evercleanse program, stsart taking these supplements to help finish your weight loss program. Take these supplements for 30 to 90 days while still walking 15-30 minutes a day. Here are the supplements:

FUCOXANTHIN (take for 30 days, do not take after 30 days)

Aids in reducing stubborn belly fat and increases metabolism resulting in better weight loss results. It is formulated from brown algae and is considered to be effective though may not work the same way with everyone.
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2660303

-----------------------

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (can be taken for up to 90 days with little side effects)

Cider Vinegar can support healthy stomach acidity, a quality critical to the proper digestion of proteins and minerals, thus in turns helps you loose weight. Protein is imperative in the production of certain hormones that break down fat cells, and is essential to the production of insulin – a key component in both metabolism and energy. Apple Cider Vinegar has an outstanding reputation with fitness enthusiasts and weight loss supporters.
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2133255

---------------------------

L-CARNITINE

L-Carnitine has been used extensively as a fat burner. Studies show that L-Carnitine helps transport fats to the mitochondria. This is where fats are burned for energy. Carnitine plays a critical metabolic role.
http://www.puritan.com/l-carnitine-063/acetyl-l-carnitine-400-mg-with-alpha-lipoic-acid-200-mg-066070

---------------------------

CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID)

CLA plays a role in reducing body fat and increasing body protein (muscle). CLA reduces body fat is by enhancing insulin sensitivity so that fatty acids and glucose can pass through muscle cell membranes and away from fat tissue. This results in an improved muscle to fat ratio. Compelling evidence indicates that CLA can promote youthful metabolic function and reduce body fat.
http://www.puritan.com/cla-tonalin-507/cla-1000-mg-tonalin-005175

----------------------------

GREEN TEA EXTRACT

Green tea extract helps with thermogenesis and aids in the metabolism of fat. Known for years as a powerful antioxidant, it may also be helpful in shedding fat. 
http://www.puritan.com/tea-green-tea-164/standardized-green-tea-extract-315-mg-003131

------------------------------

CHROMIUM PICOLINATE (200 mcg or less)

Chromium Picolinate is an essential trace mineral that works with insulin to support healthy blood glucose levels and plays an important role in the proper utilization of protein, fat and carbohydrates. has been shown to build muscle and trim fat. Chromium Picolinate can aid in weight loss and lead to desirable results. It enhances insulin’s effect in the body, improving the uptake of glucose, thereby causing better blood circulation and maintenance of blood sugar level. Evidence also supports chromium’s ability as a cholesterol and atherosclerosis fighter. Gaining energy, burning fat, and building muscle with greater ease are attributed to chromium, to name a few. It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to replace fat. DIABETICS MAY NEED TO CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING CHROMIUM SUPPLMENTS!
http://www.puritan.com/chromium-079/chromium-picolinate-200-mcg-yeast-free-006390

--------------------------

B COMPLEX (50mg or less)

B vitamins contribute to energy metabolism and B-6 in general helps to burn fat.  They offer great benefits to cardiovascualr health and boosts energy levels and helps red blood cells. Often B vitamins combined with Chromium help in weight loss.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:  “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

A Water Boarding Analogy Some Won’t Like

A Water Boarding Analogy Some Won’t Like

Imagine a small baby floating around in a sea of water. It’s quite comfortable, and even has a hose for prolonged submersion. The water temperature is around 97o Fahrenheit, so there’s no physical discomfort whatsoever. Its entire DNA has already been provided, so its height, weight, intellect, skin color and hair color are already known. Only problem unknown to the baby, is the carnivorous shark that lies in wait.

The shark may or may not come searching for its gruesome feast. But when it does, the baby is unaware of the shark’s intentions. Nothing is sacred. It’s all there for the shark’s devouring and consumption. The shark knows the baby is defenseless against his vicious lunges and rips at the unclothed body.

Under the most intense pain imaginable, the baby cannot scream, for it is underwater. No one will hear the screams anyway. As the shark rips off limb by limb, the baby pulls away from the sharp teeth, but cannot even manage an impassioned yell. The shark is fast as it is vicious, and soon the only thing left is the soft baby’s skull which is collapsed under only a small amount of pressure of the closing jaws.

Actually, the above scenario is something any baby feels during a typical D&E (Dilation & Extraction) abortion. The baby would not know the difference between a carnivorous shark and the cold instruments of an abortion. The D&E is typically done during the 2nd trimester, while the Suction Curettage is normally done during the 1st trimester.

In the Suction Curettage, the baby is continually jabbed until small enough pieces can be sucked through the “cannula”. One is unsure of what the baby thinks of being sucked through the cannula, but one recent science fiction movie comes right to mind. We know the baby experiences excruciating pain after 20 weeks gestation from outward signs, but before that we don’t know how much pain can be felt, simply because we can’t see it.

But recently in the Netherlands, scientists from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maastricht University Medical Centre and the University Medical Centre in St. Radboud have found short-term memory in babies before they were born. Their findings were on a study of 100 healthy pregnant women with the help of some gentle sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography (Washington Times).

But the similarities between an abortion and a water boarding episode could be eerily familiar. Both involve water, but the pre-born baby loves it and the water boarded person hates it. But the differences make themselves known easily.

During water boarding the victim is almost never physically harmed. There is no torture tactics used, no physical harm inflicted, and no damage to the brain imposed. The recipient comes out of the procedure highly embarrassed that he made particular statements. But he is quite alive, and unharmed.

In abortion, we know incredible pain is inflicted after 20 weeks, and are not sure how much the baby withstands before that time period. Immediate death is almost always the result, if the baby has not already died from having its head crushed. If it is still alive after an abortion, it is placed on a cold table to die, killed immediately after birth by some means, or it is partially aborted by severing its spinal cord at the neck before exiting the woman.

For any method used, one can rest assured that the baby does feel copious amounts of pain before death, assuredly after 20 weeks of gestation. One can easily determine which method actually involves torture, especially with the definition of torture defined up until 20 years ago, known from the dawn of mankind.

But many who complain of torture with water boarding seem to care less about what happens to a human just because they can’t see or hear it.

Go figure…

What can be done about cancer?

Most people in the world have ad someone they love to get diagnosed with or die from cancer at some point in their life. We all have to remember that outside of miracles from God, that there is no known cure for cancer. It affects not only the patient but the whole family. Chemotherapy and radiation can be a tiresome and disturbing procedure to go through. Most often, it drains the patient of energy and makes them extremely nauseated.

Of course there are some natural things you can do as a patient of cancer or that you can tell to a cancer patient. Remember that there is no cure, but along with medical treatment these other alternatives may help extend your life or save it altogether if the cancer is not too far spread. Here is the info you need to be telling others about:

Natural cancer fighter. This is a personal list of cancer fighting herbs and vitamins that can be used together with chemo/radiation (before, during, and after) to aid in fighting the most common forms of cancer.

I recommend a good high potency daily multivitamin such as Centrum Silver or Puritans Pride or similar vitmain to start with. The vitamin should have Vitamin A, vitamin C, B2, B12, Folic Acid, and Iron in it already. Most name brand multivitamins do. Some have Selenium and some do not.

You need Selenium, Milk Thistle, L-METHIONINE, Graviola, CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID), and CURCUMIN (TUMERIC) in addition to the multivitamin. This combination of high potency vitamins and herbs are real cancer fighters – especially Graviola and Tumeric. Remember that there is no cure for cancer and that this recommendation should be reviewed with your physician before taking any of these supplements. Some supplements can interfere with prescription medications and/or cause severe allergic reactions. In most cases, little side effects are reported. More information is provided below:

VITAMIN A (BETA CAROTINE) (2500 I.U. or less)

Beta Carotene acts as an antioxidant, trapping and neutralizing singlet oxygen molecules and other free radicals, which can damage the body’s cellular membranes, lipids, proteins, and vitamins. Cancer, Artherosclerosis, Diabetes, Cataracts, and many other chronic degenerative diseases have been linked to free-radical damage. Numerous studies have shown that people who consume high quantities of Beta Carotene have a lowered incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases.

VITAMIN B2 (RIBOFLAVIN) (at least 1.7 mg but not more than 100 mg)

Studies show that Riboflavin can defuse the toxicity of alcohol and tobacco in the body and help prevent or lower a person’s chance of coming down with cancer of the esophagus. It is needed for growth, healthy skin, proper function of the eyes, and to promote the body’s proper use of oxygen.

VITAMIN B12 (at least 6 mcg)

Cancer patients on chemo need B12 for energy metabolism and to boost the blood.

VITAMIN C (at least 60 mg, but not more than 500 mg)

Vitamin C, known for its outstanding antioxidant and immune boosting properties. It helps fight off colds and other similar viruses and boost the immune system. Cancaer patients especially need vitamin C.

FOLIC ACID (VITAMIN B9) (not more than 400 mcg)

Some studies show that folic acid might help prevent heart disease, stroke, some cancers, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease.

IRON (18 mg)

Iron is essential to cancer patients as it help with hemoglobin formation. Iron is essential in the formation of hemoglobin which carries oxygen from the lungs to other tissues in the body. In addition, it plays a part in the using of oxygen by the tissues forming cytochrome which helps cells use the oxygen to produce energy.

SELENIUM (50 mcg to 200 mcg is sufficient)

Selenium is essential for the heart and immune system and helps other antioxidants work better in the body. Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. A study done 20 years a group concluded that cancers (excluding skin cancers) was reduced by 37%; the incidence of lung cancer was reduced by 46%, colorectal cancer by 58%, and prostate cancer by 63%.

L-METHIONINE

L-Methionine is an essential sulfur-containing, free-form amino acid. Methionine is also a transporter of the antioxidant mineral, selenium.

MILK THISLTE

Helps support liver function ant acts a detoxification agent in the liver. Milk thistle may also cause the immune system to be more active. Silymarin and other chemicals from milk thistle have also been tested in laboratory studies involving various types of human cancer cells. In general, they seem to interrupt cancer cell division as well as shortening the time that cancer cells live. They may also stop or limit the formation of new blood vessels that supply tumors.

GRAVIOLA (at least 500 mg but not more than 750 mg)

Comes from the South America Graviola tree. It is widely used as an alternative treatment to some forms of cancer and is considered to have very powerful antioxidant properties. The Graviola tree (Annona muricata), also known as soursop, is found in the Amazon jungle and some of the Caribbean islands. Graviola tree leaves have been used traditionally for their various therapeutic properties. More recent scientific studies suggest that Acetogenins, the active constituents of Graviola, can support healthy cell growth and function. In addition, Graviola has been used for its whole body calming effects and as a supplement to help maintain a positive mood. Graviola has been known to kill intestinal parasites, calm nerves, reduce blood pressure and help arthritis, heart and liver. Graviola selectively kills colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of Adriamycin.” That is a very effective chemotherapy drug. Graviola is extremely effective in isolating and killing lung cancer cells. Besides being a cancer fighter, Graviola also helps with depression, high blood pressure, bacterial and fungal infections, and parasites. *Severe allergic reactions and / or complications with other presciption medications can occur in some people who use Graviola supplements.  Very low blood pressure can occur in some cases . Large doses can cause nasea and vomiting. Avoid taking together with CoQ10 and similar supplements. Consult a physician before use!

CLA (CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID)

CLA plays a role in reducing body fat and increasing body protein (muscle). This fatty acid found in red meat and cheese showed strong anti-cancer properties, was particularly effective in inhibiting breast and prostate tumors, as well as colorectal, stomach, and skin cancer, including melanoma. Scientists found CLA to be more strongly anti-carcinogenic than other fatty acids. What made CLA especially unique is that even low concentrations significantly inhibited cancer cell growth.CLA supplementation was also shown to improve the lean mass to body fat ratio, decreasing fat deposition, especially on the abdomen, and enhancing muscle growth. The FDA has published research attesting to the anti-cancer properties of CLA.

CURCUMIN (TUMERIC)

Curcumin, considered the most bioactive and soothing portion of the herb turmeric, shows protective effects on the liver. It also inhibits the COX-II enzyme and is a powerful antioxidant. When taken alone, curcumin has very poor absorption. Bioperine greatly enhances the bioavailability of curcumin. Curcumin’s antioxidant actions enable it to protect the colon cells from free radicals that can damage cellular DNA--a significant benefit particularly in the colon where cell turnover is quite rapid, occurring approximately every three days. Because of their frequent replication, mutations in the DNA of colon cells can result in the formation of cancerous cells much more quickly. Curcumin also helps the body to destroy mutated cancer cells, so they cannot spread through the body and cause more harm. A primary way in which curcumin does so is by enhancing liver function. Additionally, other suggested mechanisms by which it may protect against cancer development include inhibiting the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumor formation and preventing the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth.

Kidney Stones and natural remedies...

The last entry on this site that dealt with health was about the heart.  Now let’s talk about those pesky and quite painful kidney stones and what to do about them. I personally have suffered from three different kidney stone episodes in my life. It was definitely no fun. I have successfully passed all of the on my own, but not without pain medication and an anti-inflammation shot from the doctor.

I have done some research of my own and have found some ways of prevention of stones as well as getting rid of smaller stones (5mm and smaller) and cleansing the kidneys of crystals that cause them. Here are my recommendations. Of course be careful of any of these herbs/vitamins and ask your doctor before taking any supplements if you have high blood pressure or liver disease.

1) I highly recommend an an natural herbal kidney stone flush and kidney cleaner called Uriflow. You can find it at : www.heranswer.com/uriflow.asp

2) I also recommend taking a kidney cleanse tonic such as can be found at :
http://www.herbalcaredirect.com/Kidney-Cleanse.html

After flushing and cleansing the kidneys of pollutants and crystals, you can now start a daily supplementation of vitamins and herbs to keep kidney stones from forming. The following is what I recommend:

1) VITAMIN B6 :
Kidney stones have been reduced greatly by taking B6

2) MAGNESIUM (CITRATE) :
Magnesium citrate has been shown to increase the solubility of calcium oxalate and inhibit both calcium phosphate and oxalate stone formation.  (consult doctor if you have kidney disease or heart disease)

3) SAW PAWMETTO:
upports Healthy Function of the Prostate Gland and Urinary Tract. Saw palmetto is a dietary supplement widely used to treat the urinary symptoms of BPH - benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms in older men.

4) CRANBERRY:
Cranberry has been used for years and recommended by many doctors for patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, has now been shown to be effective in several clinical trials on patients with active and recurring urinary tract infections. Cranberry has also been shown to reduce the amount of ionized calcium in the urine by more than 50% in patients with recurrent kidney stones.

5) ALFALFA (LUCERNE):
Alfalfa has also been used to treat kidney stones, relieve fluid retention and swelling, and nourish the digestive, skeletal, glandular, and urinary systems.

Digital tv nightmare...how the government once again messed us up.

This is for those of us who do not have cable or satellite television:

Am I the only person on earth who is having trouble with the unnecessary switch to digital television? I bought the stupid little converter box like I was supposed to and have a great antenna with two boosters attached. I can get NBC (yuck) and ABC. That’s it! I get four channels - sometimes. When the weather is bad two of those channels go out completely.

Before the unnecessary switch, I got much more channels. Has anyone else experienced trouble with the unnecessary switch to digital tv?

The channels I was getting before came in perfect, now I will never get to see them again. This sucks. The government has once again messed up our lives with their unnecessary meddling.

If you are having problems with your tv setup, call the FCC and be sure to let them know just how much you really appreciate messing up your perfectly good television viewing.

The world really is slam full of idots who always want to “improve” something. Usually when the government wants to make something “better” they make it worse. The only way they will ever makes things better will be to get out of our personal lives. Then we can have something to be thankful for.

Thank you FCC for messing up my TV. Now come fix it! I want my Andy Griffith Show back and my Bob Ross back and my New Yankee Workshop back. Will the FCC pay for DVDs? Will the FCC pay for me a large antenna and tower? They should. Afterall, they are the root cause of the problem right?

Someone out there please let me know how frustrated you are about this totally unnecessary switch to digital TV and how it has messed up your tv viewing.

The Oil Change bandits .. how big government interferes with changing your oil.

I recently bought a new truck. A 2009 Ford Ranger XLT. It is a 2wd with a 2.3 liter four cylinder engine. I bought it for fuel mileage primarily since I do not pull or haul very often. I owned a truck before this that was similar. It was a 2003 Ford Ranger with the same engine, but a manual transmission. I always changed my oil myself and changed it regularly at 3,000 mile intervals.

The owner’s manual of the new truck says to change oil every 7,500 miles. I thought this was too many miles between oil changes and refused to do so. I still will change mine every 3,000 miles on the dot. I called my brother who is a technician at the local Ford dealership and asked him about the oil change intervals. Yes indeed, the book says 7,500 mile intervals.

He asked his boss, the service manager about this one time and was told that the 7,500 mile interval was a government mandated printing to save oil consumption in America.

I always knew our government was crazy, but deliberately messing up people’s cars to save oil and the “environment” is a little nutty in my book.

So people, the lesson learned here is quite simple. Ignore the government mandated oil change procedure and do it yourself at 3,000 miles just as always. It will save you a lot of trouble and expense down the road.

This is just one more example of how powerful our big brother government has become. A government too powerful to tell us when to change oil in our car is a government gone out of control. They are too powerful, but unless we the people vote out the power mad money grubbers, they will only get worse. I just wish we could change the government as often as we change oil.

Remember to change your oil every three months or 3,000 miles - whichever comes first.  Don’t let the government tell you when to change your oil.

Fossil wars show evolutionary scientists have an agenda

Fellow creationists/normal people:

We need your help in a poll about evolution and creation. You can go here to vote:
http://missinguniversemuseum.com/vote.php

Also be sure to take the evolution test and think about the questions real hard. There is a large reward attached if you can prove evolution. So far, our atheists/scientists/liberals haven’t been able to collect their reward. They calim to be able to prove evolution through “science” but somehow, they just do not like the idea of getting paid for it. Interesting …

BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? “No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”

Luke 16: 10-13

Where to get healthcare when the government system turns you down...

Obama is continuing massive efforts to get his government sponsored socialism called “healthcare” in place in America. We who can see clearly hope that this effort fails, but in case it doesn’t, there are some alternatives to being turned down by doctors becuase you are not “cost effective”. In other words, like Canada or the UK, if you get a serious illness like cancer and you are too old, you will be turned down for treatment becuase you are not cost effective to the government who is paying the bill. In other words, the government gets to choose what your life is worth.

--------------------------------

I’ll go ahead and start now with heart disease and artery blockage:

I will not write much on the issue since you can look that up yourself.

To start with I would definitely consider EDTA chelation therapy either by IV or pills. This will clean out your arteries of heavy metals and most plaque buildup and restore your circulation. After getting my arteries cleared I would start taking Omega 3-6-9 supplements as well as garlic and other supplements. I would recommend talking to you doctor before doing any of this though.Here is some information you will need to know:

POTASSIUM (GLUCONATE)

Potassium helps the body maintain water balance, ensures healthy nerve and muscle function, and regulates blood pressure and heartbeat. It also promotes healing and helps regulate blood sugar. It is an important factor in the maintenance of the body’s acid-base balance and nerve condition, as well as the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. Potassium is found in a number of foods, including dairy, fish, and other meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Because food processing reduces the levels of naturally occurring nutrients in foods, supplementation may be necessary to insure adequate intake. This important mineral is a major component of the cells in our body and is required for muscle contraction, production of energy, synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Even the beating of the heart depends on potassium. Potassium benefits athletic performance, but is depleted from the body by excessive loss of fluid like that experienced during intense workouts. Many athletes take Potassium to prevent and fight off muscle cramps. This mineral is important for a healthy nervous system and a regular heart rhythm. It helps prevent stroke, aids in proper muscle contraction, and works with sodium to control the body’s water balance. Potassium is important for chemical reactions within the cells and aids in maintaining stable blood pressure and in transmitting electrochemical impulses. Potassium (gluconate) reduces blood pressure, maintains fluid balance, encourages parasympathetic nervous system, and increases insulin sensitivity.Potassium (gluconate), considered by some the major electrolyte, is found almost exclusively in the intracellular fluids of the cell. Sodium is found in the extra cellular fluids, but it is equilibrium between potassium and sodium that determines fluid balance and blood pressure regulation. A high potassium-low sodium intake reduces the blood vessel constricting effects of adrenaline, a hormone elicited by the sympathetic nervous system; lower blood pressure results.

-------------------------------

COENZYME CoQ10

Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10), also known as ubiquinone, is a major part of the body’s mechanism for producing energy. The name of this supplement comes from the word ubiquitous, which means “found everywhere.” Indeed, CoQ 10 is found in every cell in the body. It plays a fundamental role in the mitochondria, the parts of the cell that produce energy from glucose and fatty acids. CoQ 10’s best-established use is for congestive heart failure, but the evidence that it works is not entirely consistent. Ongoing research suggests that it may also be useful for other types of heart problems, Parkinson’s disease, and several additional illnesses. Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant and a natural substance found in every cell in the body that plays a fundamental role in producing energy from food. Coenzyme Q10 is essential for energy production in all body cells. Levels of Coenzyme Q10 drop with age and with serious illness. Recent studies suggest that higher potencies of Coenzyme Q10 may provide significant benefits for several neurological and cardiovascular conditions.

--------------------------------

GINKO BILOBA

Promotes mental function and memory. Ginkgo Biloba is scientifically proven to improve blood and oxygen flow to the brain and extremities. This supports memory function, mental sharpness and circulation. The benefits are numerous and include: promoting the widening of blood vessels, which improves blood flow in tiny vessels throughout the body, which reduces the buildup of fluids throughout the entire body and reduce symptoms of a wide variety of disorders affecting the legs, brain, eyes, ears, and other organs. Ginkgo Biloba also, preserves memory, treats mild depression, reduces symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, treats erectile dysfunction, reduces risk of blood clots, relieves some inner ear disorders such as tinnitus and vertigo, and, possible treatment of allergies, asthma, and inflammatory disorders.

------------------------------

OMEGA 3-6-9 (FISH OIL)

Consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies have shown diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids support heart health by promoting proper triglyceride and cholesterol levels.  Omega 3 supplements may include flaxseed oil, fish oil, krill oil, EPA, DHA, cod liver oil, etc.

---------------------------------

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Cleanses the body of toxins, promotes good blood circulation, helps improve digestion and helps lower the body’s storage of fat.

------------------------------------

EDTA (CHELATION)

Supports cardiovascular health. EDTA, has been show in clinical studies to bind metal ions from the arteries and veins through its powerful chelating capability. Methly-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) and N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) are two sulfur-donating compounds that increase cellular glutathione concentrations, which is important for increased antioxidant needs during chelation. Along with Vitamin C, these compounds work together to provide optimum nutritional support for cardiovascular health. EDTA is often used to remove plaque buildup and heavy metal toxins in the artery walls. EDTA can be obtained through IV from a physician or orally from most vitamin manufacturers.

-------------------------------------

CAYENNE

Cayenne Pepper (Capsicumannuum) fruit is a blood-red warming herb that invigorates multiple body systems. Cayenne is a powerful fruit tonic. The fruit stimulates the heart and promotes circulation, improves digestion, and boost energy levels. This has been shown to help greatly with reversing lower energy levels and vitality, easing of pain and speed up healing of ulcers, as well as relieving stomach aches, cramping pains, and gas, in numerous case studies.

--------------------------

HAWTHORN

Supports healthy blood pressure and blood flow. Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) has been used for centuries to aid circulation. Clinical research has identified the beneficial compounds responsible for hawthorn’s activity.  These compounds include flavonoids, such as vitexin 4’-rhamnoside, O-glycosides, luteolin-7 glucoside, hyperoside, quercetin and rutin. The powerful antioxidants in Hawthorn protect the cells of the cardiovascular system from free radicals. Hawthorn promotes efficient heart function. * Hawthorn leaves, flowers and berries have been used for generations by herbalists as a cardiovascular tonic. Hawthorn supports cardiovascular health by enhancing cardiac muscle tone and vascular integrity. hawthorn encourage normal blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system by lowering the resistance to blood flow in peripheral blood vessels, improving coronary artery blood flow and strengthening of the contractions of the heart muscle.
People with congestive heart failure* taking 160–900 mg of hawthorn extract per day for eight weeks showed improved quality of life including greater ability to exercise without shortness of breath and exhaustion in clinical trials.
Hawthorn can be used as part of a comprehensive wellness program to promote cardiovascular health. Hawthorn leaf, stem and flower extracts have been shown to promote healthy heart function by improving blood and nutrient flow to the heart muscle.

-------------------------------

HORSE CHESTNUT

Supports blood circulation. Horse Chestnut is rich in saponins and flavones that have been scientifically shown to support the integrity of the vascular system and connective tissue. It is clinically shown to support healthy circulation, especially to the veins of lower extremities. Horsechestnut seed (Aesculus hippocastanum) contains B-aescin, which studies have shown to be beneficial in supporting healthy leg circulation, improving the tone of veins and increasing blood flow.

GARLIC

Garlic, the perennial herb is prescribed for colds and coughs, as well as for intestinal and digestive orders. Garlic is being viewed more and more as a miracle plant. Besides being a natural antibiotic, Garlic, which contains Flavinoids, is an excellent antioxidant. Garlic is greatly beneficial for bronchitis due to the chemical it releases in the body, allicin, which is one of the most powerful broad-spectrum plant antiseptics. Garlic may lower the risk of bladder and colon cancer as well as help support a healthy cholesterol level. he therapeutic effects of Garlic have been scientifically validated in the area of cholesterol and triglyceride lowering, as well as its strong antimicrobial properties. Garlic will stimulate appetite and metabolism, clear toxins, and act as an antimicrobial agent of the mucous membranes. . It is important to drink several glasses of water per day when taking large doses of Garlic (over 400mg).

POLICOSANOL

This supplement reduces LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a), improves HDL cholesterol, and helps angina (chest pain associated with heart disease). Policosanol contains several long chain fatty alcohols, including octacosanol, hexacosanol and triacontanol. Animal and in-vitro research has shown that these compounds may support the cardiovascular system and inhibit lipid peroxidation.

There are alternatives to modern medicine in herbal remedies - if the government don’t ban that too.

In the future, I will be reviewing some vitamins, minerals, and herbs that people should consider if the socialist health system makes it here.  I urge you to not only save these on your computer but print a few copies as well. It would not hurt to have some paper copies in your personal safes at home just in case the internet gets censored later on.

Remember to check this site often to get a review of vitamins, mineral, and herbs that can counter government sponosred medicine. These supplements are no cure for any disease, but are considered an affordable alternative to death if the government refuses to treat your disease.
