This humorous video sheds light on what goes into the making of a flu shot – if more people knew this…  the line of people waiting (for their shot) would no doubt be shorter.

Prevent the flu this season by improving your diet. This includes drinking more water in place of sugary drinks. You can dilute your drinks with water to wean yourself off them. Feel better and look great in the process without subjecting yourself to the poison of a flu shot!

“When someone is sick, more drugs are NOT what they need. A sick person already has an overload of toxins… illness is not caused from a deficiency of a certain pill.” Sherry Rogers, Detoxify or Die

A Physicians’ Health Study which involved 22,000 people showed that people who took aspirin regularly, were not only at greater risk for hemorrhage strokes, they suffered twice as many brain hemorrhages than those who did not take aspirin.  Please know… this does not mean prescription drugs are any better.

Quite the contrary… anti-coagulating drugs like Plavix and Persantine have side effects like such as: leukemia, extreme fatigue and aplastic anemia. Aspirin though considered “safer” than pharmaceuticals is still responsible for side effects of it’s own… holes in stomach and/or bleeding of the GI tract… OUCH!

Why not avoid all the above problems and benefit from safer remedies? Ginkgo Biloba does exactly that! Some of the benefits include:

• Enhances memory
• Protects brain against effects of aging
• Helps prevent degenerative brain disorders
• Contains antioxidants
• Increases blood flow through many arteries
• Alzheimer’s patients have gotten impressive results
• Contains flavonoids to protect blood vessels
• Inhibits (PAF) platelet-activating factor
• Being used to treat memory, learning, and behavior problems

Consider talking to a physician knowledgeable (and smart enough) to help you wean yourself off aspirin and/or anti-coagulant drugs. You’ll not only feel better, you’ll have money to spare by purchasing ginkgo biloba instead. Best to buy organic or wild crafted in bulk form from a reputable source. No need to pay for fancy packing and labeling if you don’t need to!

Get The MILK FOR FREE?

There are many milk substitutes such as almond, hazelnut, soy, rice, oat, raw or coconut milk. They are delicious and can be used in place of pasteurized cow’s milk. If you must have animal milk, make it goats or raw milk from a reputable source. Dairy products are very mucus forming. I give my three-year-old grandniece raw milk (and other milk substitutes). Not only does she love them, she is one of the few at her daycare WITHOUT a runny nose.

Note* I am not a fan of too much soy anything. It is known to mimic hormones, which can create a host of health problems. Choose your milk wisely… listen to your gut.

I do believe their are pros to drinking milk, however… it starts with being breast fed. Why give a child formula and increase their risk for Type 1 Diabetes (and more), when you can boost your child’s immune for FREE the way nature intended? “Convenient” fast food can cost you your life.

Read labels to Live Long NATURALLY!

Do you find yourself eating for comfort just to be upset at yourself later? Eater’s remorse is a Catch 22. I’ve been guilty of it and it didn’t make me a happy camper. Not to mention, when we binge or indulge out of control, we can in fact eat or drink ourselves into oblivion the next day… hardly being recognizable even by us.

Thinking about what I may look or feel like after a meal (I am considering indulging in) has helped me avoid the food more than once! Before you eat, ask yourself what consequence a certain food or drink will have on your looks and your health. Carry a small mirror if it helps. If what you are about to eat or drink will not make you look or feel better, why have it? Why torture yourself? Why set yourself up for eater’s remorse?
