Health Facilities Flush 250M pounds of Drugs a Year!!!

Back in March to our dismay, the water supply of at least 41 million Americans was in the spot light. An investigation showed the presence of pharmaceuticals or byproducts in our drinking water, including medicines for pain, infection, high cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy, mental illness and heart problems.

Researchers claim that the amount of pharmaceuticals and personal care products released into the environment each year is the same as the amount of pesticides released into the environment each year.

We are talking about 888 million pounds of drugs released into the environment each year.  In a more recent article, health care facilities account for 250 million of that!

Since these people care so much about our food supply, why would they be concerned that each US. man, woman and child is digesting 3lbs of drugs per year. Of course the federal government doesn’t require any testing and hasn’t set safety limits for drugs in water, the utility companies insist our water is safe.

The fact of the matter is, researches do not yet understand the exact risks from decades of persistent exposure to random combinations of low levels of pharmaceuticals.

Remember, we are not only exposed to these contaminants by drinking them. We are also being exposed when we shower, bathe, cook, wash laundry and use eating and drinking utensils washed in the contaminated water.

How Much Soy is in Your Diet???

As always… all things should be read with a critical eye :~) I found an interesting article about the foods we should watch out for, I had to do a double take on the part about soy.

Did you know soy got its beginning as an INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCT?

Research has shown that just two glasses of soy milk a day for one month are enough to change a woman’s menstrual cycle! And feeding soy to infants is even more devastating. It has been found that infants fed exclusively on soy formula are ingesting FIVE birth control pills worth of estrogen daily!

Yes the things they say are good for us now will probably differ in the morning but I do feel this article is at the very least worth a look.  To read more visit: http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/blog/articles/soy-the-abominable-bean

Happy Monday!

4 Symptoms NOT to be Taken Lightly

While I consider myself pretty informed when it comes to Cancer, when my friend was recently diagnosed I was dumbfounded to say the least. Her Cancer not only took me by surprise, but also her doctors due to her age and her overall healthy lifestyle.

This form of Breast Cancer is apparently sweeping the nation, unfortunately going undetected most times. It is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer. One of the most aggressive forms of Breast Cancer, getting it’s name “inflammatory” by blocking the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast making it often look swollen and red, or “inflamed”.

4 Symptoms to Look For:

1. Redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast.
2. The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised.
3. The skin may also have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange, which is caused by a buildup of fluid and edema in the breast.
4. Heaviness, burning, aching, increase in size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted.

These symptoms usually develop quickly; over a period of weeks or months. Because Inflammatory Breast Cancer affects the lymph nodes, IBC may also present itself under the arm, above the collarbone, or in both places.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer tends to occur more frequently at a younger age and in African American women more than any other race. IBS is not only more likely to metastasized at the time of diagnosis, the survival rate is between 25-50%, which is significantly lower compared to other forms of cancer.

I encourage you to visit http://cancer.gov. Thank you to all those whom said a prayer for my dear friend during her surgery to remove this ugly Cancer. She made it through safely and will soon begin her chemotherapy treatment!

Stay Informed!

Recognizing our Dependencies

Last September, Bill Maher was very vocal about how our food and water supply are deteriorating. He also made note of the increase of sickness and disease along with the rise in pharmaceutical use. In a comedic way, this video can help us recognize our dependencies on the pharmaceutical drug companies and hopefully give us that extra push to make an effort and break free by changing our diets and ultimately our lifestyles.

On the other hand, drugs like hoodia and cialis are available online but except for phentermine and viagra, majority does not have a strong line of action.

Be the Change!

In the Land of Internet…

…there once lived a day where good writing skills and elegant penmanship were critical when confessing enamored thoughts and affections to friends and family whom live miles away.

Now letters are all but obsolete.The hours once spent obsessing over just the right words to express our heartfelt emotion have been replaced by text messaging, emails and phone calls.

But to some, our high tech society can not take away that special something we feel when we receive a letter in the mail. Is it the hand addressed envelope that calls out to you from between the bills and mail order catalogs?

To me, it’s the thought that went into each sentence, each word, each letter. It’s finding the envelope, the address and the stamp.

These things all take time, which in this day in age is hard to come by. Letters show me how much the person cares about my family and I.

My mom was a pro when it came to sending letters and cards. I remember visiting her in Colorado after moving back with my father during their divorce. While she was teaching me how to drive stick shift, we stopped in the post office parking lot.

She went in and told me to get out. It took me all of 45 minutes to get out of that darn parking lot that day. I was so mad that I hadn’t even payed any mind to what she was doing in the post office.

Once I returned home, there laid a card on my desk telling me what a wonderful daughter I was, how much our time together meant to her and how she already missed me. This same card remains on my desk, 10 years later. As for every letter she ever wrote me, I keep them in a box inside my dresser drawer.

Life has a way of taking us away from the people we love most. Thanks to my mother, I try to keep in touch with friends, family and clients the best way I know how, by writing a thought provoked letter.

Who have you been meaning to write?

Until Next Time,

Brandi

Quote of the Day: Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

“All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up…that growing is an ever ongoing process.” ~M. Scott Peck

As a child I remember being in such a hurry to grow up. The trouble is I became more of an adult than my parents. By age thirteen, I probably had more “real life” experience than most twenty year old’s.

Looking back, I can honestly say that I don’t hold an ounce of regret nor do I possess resentment towards my parents and how they chose to raise me.

On the http://thework.org, Byron Katie asks “Who would you be without your story.” I would be nothing, all of the life’s struggles have led to triumphs. Triumphs that have molded me into who I am today; a strong, confident woman, whom is wise beyond her years.

My parents have given me an excellent foundation to continue to grow upon. After all, growing is an ever going process.

Love,

Brandi

Food of the Week: A flower, a fruit and a berry, huh?

I’m talkin ’bout pineapple! Most of you know that pineapples grow in the tropics such as Hawaii, but did you know that they grow in the center of a cactus like plant? Pineapple is actually made up of more than one flower atop of the plant. As they grow, they swell with juice and pulp expanding to become the “fruit“. Pretty cool, eh?

Pineapples belong to the Bromeliaceae family, from which one of its most important health promoting compounds, the enzyme bromelain, was named. In fact, pineapples are the only edible plant found in the Bromeliaceae family.

Studies haven shown bromelain to lessen inflammation and reduce types of swelling by blocking the production of kinins that form during injuries, disease and surgeries. Pineapple not only helps make for a speedy recovery during acute sinusitis, sore throat, arthritis and gout, but is also an excellent source of manganese, vitamin C, vitamin B1, copper, dietary fiber and vitamin B6.

Did you know that among the many benefits of vitamin B1 is its ability to increase blood circulation and provide a greater supply of oxygen to the blood cells. B1 is also know for aiding metabolism of carbohydrates. Between B1 and bromelain, pineapple is great for proper digestion!

Stayed tuned for more delicious facts about pineapple along with fun raw pineapple recipes too of course!

Love,

Brandi
