Worried about a heart attack?

Want to cut your chances of heart attack and stroke virtually in half?

Medical research shows...you just eat a couple of medium-sized, well-washed, RAW carrots every single day, and you have just cut your chances of heart attack and/or stroke... in half!

Get outside with kids! Swim, take a walk and talk. Share news in you life, ask questions - you might be surprised at the wisdom you'll hear. It will not only be healthy for you both, it will enrich your life!

Dear veggie1984: What would be your "quick fix" humane way to keep rats from crawling into bed with yourself and your children? Warfarin was not the first thing we tried, just one of the things that worked. We actually ended up moving. So maybe the blessed little dears won!

When my son was young he wouldn't eat greens but he loved pasta. I steamed the greens, pureed them in the blender, then added them to the sauteed meat for stuffing cannaloni or layers for lasagna. I even tried it for meatloaf but had to disguise the colour with catsup or tomato sauce.

I find that 20 minutes on the NordicTrack really limbers my joints for the day and have more energy. I do 2 or more stretches at the end while I am warmed up. I do this in the morning before breakfast.

Only by having a significant level of glutathione in the body (the body's master antioxidant), can a person ultimately reduce their level of inflammation (at the cellular level)... Only then, can a person truly "get to the core of their problems". (unquote)

For arthritis drink daily 1 cup of warm water with 2 tbsp. honey and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, mixed thoroughly. Soon you'll see an improvement in your painful joints.

Wow, your quick fix to solve a rat problem is to cause them to hemorrhage to death? I think there's a special place in hell waiting for you.

We used to have a really bad rat problem on our property. We put out Warfarin (bought at the local feed store) to kill them. The blood thinning properties cause them to hemmorage to death. I think of that when I hear of someone who's loved one (taking coumadin or Warfarin)suddenly develops brain hemmorage and "no one knows why". There are so many dietary options for thinning the blood that are much safer. I just don't understand this. And then to warn people not to eat good green foods because it will counteract the poison is just insane to me.

My herbalist recommended drinking Liquid Chlorophyll and I have for several years now - it's spearmint flavored and tastes good. Mix w/ice & water for a refreshing summer drink. Mix with hot water for a relaxing warm winter drink. Drink this in place of sodas! It has helped a lot.
