QUESTION #1:
 
I was reading you article online re fingernail diagnostics, and I have a question: have you ever heard of someone developing just one markedly brittle nail? My left thumbnail is literally falling apart, and I have no indication why. I megadose on C and take a good liquid multi supplement. I don't get it?

Erik
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the question and it is a good one that is quite common these days.

Yes, I have seen that happen with both finger and toe nails. That usually comes about from one of three reasons;

1. That particular finger has been damaged in the past and is not getting sufficient circulation to the nail bed, although  the finger usually has other outer disfigurements as well but occasionally does not...

or

2. You are putting that particular finger into something - A solution applied to your work area that is toxic to you and that thumb touches repeatedly and often, wax compound that makes picking up papers easier can be toxic to some, sitting with that finger unknowingly touching paper or plastic that have toxins in them - that is damaging the nail.

or

3. A fungus in/under the nail bed of that particular finger.

Number 3 is the most common reason for one or more nails to be either brittle, blue/black, yellowish powdery or cracking and shrinking. Don't believe the cutsy little TV commercials that the little "devilish domatafite" tries to feed you about needing their little liver damaging, immune killer pills that set you up for other illnesses/diseases... They fail to tell you that those pills will do those things as well... A nail fungus can be killed with Ionic Silver water (Soak your fingernail, for about 10 minutes once or twice a day, for about a week and take 1 Tablespoon by mouth twice a day for two to three weeks (watch TV or play your computer with your thumb or hand sitting in a small dish/cup/shot glass of ionic silver water and those 10 minutes will fly by). Ionic Silver water also builds your immune system and kills unwanted bacteria without killing the good bacteria/flora needed in your body... You can reuse the ionic silver water finger soak several times as it will not go bad.

It will take 3 to 9 months for a healthy nail to grow out after killing the fungus...

Hope this helps,
Lena
 
QUESTION #2
 
I would like know please if you have a formula for epilepsy.
Thank you, Patti
 
ANSWER:
 
Thank you for your question Patti!

There are a number of reasons for epilepsy but if it is the common form of a simple brain blurb not caused from a head trauma injury that created a short in the brain I think we can help eliminate the problem...

If this is a brain injury caused epilepsy, from a severe head trauma, this may not stop all seizures but it will help your brain to function better creating the likelihood of fewer seizures.

We don't exactly have a formula for epilepsy, but the most common form of epilepsy is a interruption of the electrical impulses in the brain and we have two things that will help to make those electrical impulses fire properly. Over the years I've watched them keep a lot of epileptic's seizure free. 1st and most important is the Ionic Liquid Minerals this supplies the minerals required for the brain to function to its most potential and completes the electrical circuit in the brain second is the Mind Power Master Formula that feeds the brain the nutrients and helps it perform more efficiently... I don't know how severe a case exists for you, or if you are asking for someone else, but you won't know whether it will work for you or not unless you try them.

These two supplements should be a must for anyone that requires heavy mental needs. Students are finding these most helpful in retention and concentration. ADD and ADHD children are having remarkable results with these two as well. My immunization induced autistic grandson has also shown great mental attention increase with these...So I believe Ionic Liquid Minerals and Mind Power are the greatest brain builders you can find. I may be a bit biased, but I haven't seen anything else that can do the things these have done for so many in the last nine years of being associated with Dr. Wayne Garland!

I wish you good luck so try it and see how it works for you! Your testimony is worth a free bottle of either one, after you have used them successfully...

ALL STRESSED UP AND NO PLACE TO BLOW

All stressed up and no place to blow. Does that sometimes sound like you?

It is rarely the big crises of life that cause us destructive worry. Rather, those persistent small concerns do the most long-term damage to our spirits, minds and bodies.

According to Bernard Asbell and Karen Wynn in the book WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU (Random House, 1991) here are the top ten reasons middle-aged people worry:

1. Concern about weight
2. Health of a family member
3. Rising prices
4. House maintenance
5. Too much to do
6. Misplacing or losing things
7. Outside or yard maintenance
8. Property, investments, and taxes
9. Crime
10. Physical appearance

How many times do you find yourself on this list? Yet, none of these is a huge problem. It's true--you don't get ulcers from what you eat -- you get them from what's eating you!

I asked a woman who was facing some truly large problems, "Can you just get through today?" I felt there was no other course of action for her than to concentrate on managing only the concerns of the present. Anything more seemed overwhelming.

She said, "I always take just one day at a time. And sometimes I take one hour at a time. And sometimes it's one minute!"

If worry and anxiety are getting the best of you, first take steps to manage the problem, fix the problem or get rid of the problem. Then, you need only look ahead to the end of the day. Can you get through this day? This hour? If so, that may be enough.

It was the Buddha who said, "The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." And Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."

It's about learning to live one day at a time. And it's great
advice...particularly when you are all stressed up and no place to
blow.

The Bashful Bulb

Beets or beetroot! So bashful they keep their heads in the ground.
 
Some refer to this purplish wonder as beets, others as beetroot. Either way is correct. Some people only eat the root bulb but the greens are very nutritional and tasty and one of my favorites.
 
Once you've tasted fresh beets in the peak of their season from June through October, you'll delight in their sweetness and versatility. I should mention that they have the highest sugar content of all the vegetable kingdom. There are factories that process the sugar from the beets, called Sugar Beet Factories!
 
Beets and beet greens contain the health building minerals calcium, Iron, magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium along with the vitamins  C, B-6, B-12, A, E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate, and Retinol.
 
Experts believe that the red pigmentation of beetroot contains certain anti-cancer agents. Beetroot has for many years been used as a treatment for cancer in Europe. Specific anti-carcinogens are bound to the redish/purple coloring, which supposedly helps fight against cancer and beetroot also increases the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 percent. Additional studies are taking place to add support to these claims.
 
The green leafy part of the beetroot contains beta-carotene and other carotenoids, (Carotenoid refers to plant pigments - of which there is a family of about 600 different types. These all function as antioxidants. The yellow, orange, and many of the red pigments in fruits, vegetables, and plant materials are usually carotenoids.) The roots and greens are especially good for women during their menstrual period and those planning pregnancy.
 
Preparing raw beets requires a mindset; put on an apron, to catch the splatter and roll up your sleeves. Next, tell yourself that for that entire day you will be the proud owner of a pair of red hands that look like you just killed someone unless you wear gloves. Then, get to work on the beets.
 
For salads, cut off the root and stem ends, peel and coarsely grate the beets. Place them on the top of an individual salad as a garnish or serve them in a separate bowl tossed with seasoned rice vinegar to be passed at the table. If you toss the beets into the salad, the entire salad will blush. Sometimes this may be a desired effect when you want to give your veggies a rosy glow.
 
Beets are famous for blushing or, more commonly called bleeding. To reduce bleeding and preserve more of the flavor as well as the nutrients, cut beet tops off, leaving at least 1" of stems intact. Usually when you buy fresh beetroot it will still have the leaves and stalks attached. To cook the beetroot simply cut off the stalks making sure to leave some of the stalk in tact as it helps to hold in the nutrients.
 
Beetroot can be steamed or cooked in boiling water. Cooking time can be from 20 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the beetroot and your desire for soft or crunchy. Test the beetroot with a skewer: when it's soft to your desire, remove it from the heat and cool it under running water - this will make the skin easier to remove for serving.
 
Try raw:
Grated finely can add to other vegetables.
Mix grated beetroot with raspberry vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar.
Mix grated beetroot, grated orange rind and orange juice for a tasty salad.
Plain grated beetroot is great on hamburgers or veggie burgers.
 
You can serve cooked beetroot as a hot vegetable accompaniment to a meal; or allow it to cool and slice it to put on a homemade burger. Cut into cubes and stir-fry it with some steamed cubed potatoes and pumpkin. Add a little garlic and some diced onions ? this makes a delicious vegetable dish to serve with the rest of your meal.
Roasted: To roast the beets, its best to peel them and cut off the root and the stem ends. Slice them, toss or spray a tablespoon or two of Olive oil, and spread them out on a roasting pan. Roast at 400 for about 25 - 30 minutes, turning mid way through. To add a little pizzazz, when tossing them in the oil prior to roasting, sprinkle with salt and some dried thyme, dill, marjoram, or oregano ad onion chunks for more flavor.
 
Prepare the greens as close to the purchase time as possible to retain all those health benefits. Wash them thoroughly, and coarsely chop. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the saucepan by 1/2". Squeeze in the juice of one half lemon and add a little salt, onion powder, lemon pepper and a hint of cayenne. PACK greens into a smaller saucepan than you might think you need--one bunch of beet greens cooks down to practically nothing!  Cook uncovered over high heat, which allows some of the oxalic acid in the greens to escape, a desirable process, since oxalic acid inhibits the absorption of calcium contained in the greens.
 
Today's recipe is from a former patient whose mother won a Betty Crocker baking contest with it years ago and a lot of money, but she gave the recipe to me so don't worry about it being a copy write problem! This is oh so good and even my kids and grandkids eat it without knowing what's in it? Color is nice as well as delightful flavor?
