Two questions today:

Sue asks: "Can you advise me where I can purchase (Iscador) Mistletoe essence from?"

Kenneth asks: "You wrote in an earlier newsletter about people "buying in" to the "cholesterol drugs" fallacy. Your article seems to imply that there is a problem with these drugs, I have been taking one for a while now. Is that your opinion, or do you know something that no one else, except the sellers of Rescue, Is reporting? Am I in danger if I continue taking the drug?"

Steve's Motivator this week, "THE TRUST FACTOR" points out how trust relates to a happier life...
If you enjoy Steve's weekly Motivator let him know and tell him you read it in "A Natural Environmental Health Facts Ask Lena Health Q & A ezine." mailto:Publisher@LifeSupportSystem.com  

I answer all health questions to the best of my ability using what I gleaned from 20-years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my education in nutritional and alternative modes. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one. Just lived many years of life while  observing life and the world around me...

Q & A is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different perspective on a particular problem! 

My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well! 

IF YOU HAVE A HEALTH QUESTION

QUESTION:

Can you advise me where I can purchase (Iscador) Mistletoe essence from?

Thank you,
Sue

ANSWER:
 
There are two: I'm not sure which one you are asking about?

First one requires a doctor's prescription and Dr. Garland does that for my clients/patients... The Iscador injectable requires close scrutiny, is used exclusively by cancer patients around the world? Dr. Garland will wish to do a consult before he will prescribe it... No charge for his consult... $200 a month for the injectable... 

Second one is an herbal tincture not as potent and does not require a prescription, which I carry in my herbal pharmacy... The cost is $97.50 a bottle.
You will need to call 866-605-0420 or 928-636-9425 to order either one of these...

QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena,
You wrote in an earlier newsletter about people "buying in" to the "cholesterol drugs" fallacy. Your article seems to imply that there is a problem with these drugs, I have been taking one for a while now. Is that your opinion, or do you know something that no one else, except the sellers of Rescue, Is reporting? Am I in danger if I continue taking the drug?
 
Thank you.
Kenneth
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for your question Kenneth. As long as you are searching for truths and following what you learn you stand a chance of surviving to a ripe old age...

Yes, your doctor will swear by those drugs since the drug industry educated (CEU) him/her in medical school and continues to provide any ongoing education that he/she receives... I know, I scheduled the appointments for doctor's and I also attended the CEU classes for medical personnel of which ALL are the Drug industry's way of assuring their medications continue to be prescribed... Your doctor is unaware that there are natural alternatives to the chemical poison medications since it is not taught in medical school or continuing education class, therefore he/she cannot tell you about them. They do not get nutrition training and cannot tell you about that either... I was not taught those things in nursing school either and had to go outside the medical industry to learn them on my own... You will have to be the detective and search those out for yourself as well...

Since the pharmaceutical industry is working very hard to squelch any publicity that points to their drugs in a bad light, the chances of the general public hearing the negatives is very remote... So it's going to depend on their scientist's blowing the whistle, which a few are now doing and being blackballed from working in the industry making it more dangerous to the patients who are consuming these drugs and thinking they are safe... My friend Dr. Shane Ellison is one of those whistleblowers?

FYI, my 45 year-old sister-in-law almost died because of both Lipitor and Zocor until I saw her and worked at finding out what was happening to her... When she started exhibiting symptoms her doctor simply switched her from Lipitor to Zocor thinking something would change and that didn't help and then he tried to tell her it wasn't the medications causing the problems and said it was psychological... She was almost totally depleted of minerals and her muscles, tendons and arteries were in severe spasm with mental confusion making it hard for her to even think on the simplest things. You know the heart is the biggest muscle in the body and would have eventually shut down completely... Her doctor, like so many, does not believe in recommending minerals or vitamins if you eat well, which is a real fallacy read Why click here, and so she was fast on her way to exiting this world.
 
You are fortunate that severe side effects haven't shown up yet... Sadly the majority of side effects are not detected or recognized by the doctor as side effects to the medication until it is too late...

You need to know that the cholesterol scare that the drug industry has perpetrated is not legitimate for heart disease precursor's...  Now that the goal set up for the patient is to get cholesterol down below 100 a number that is going to kill gross numbers of people, as the body needs cholesterol to function. As with everything in life, each person is different and some will require large amounts while others not so large. Death will most likely never be attributed to these medications as the cause by the medical profession. If you will read your insert that should come with your medication, if in fact your druggist even puts it in, it will tell you that no evidence exists that cholesterol lowering medications will reduce heart attack or stroke risks, which is the very reason the drug companies and your doctor say you should take them? Does that make sense? Not to me?  My dh started out with cholesterol readings over 800 in his early forties (almost 30 years ago), which was just at the beginning phase of testing in order to prescribe their NEW medication. He took their new medications until I started seeing what was happening with our patients in the office and then I convinced him to stop them. Thank God it was for less than a year and he has had no long term side effects that ever came to light... I watch is diet and he takes herbs and minerals and since then his cholesterol readings are in the 280 to 400 range, with his doctor pushing to try and force him to take the medications, which my dh smartly refuses to take... In 2003  his physician was so sure he had blocked arteries due to his long term elevated cholesterol readings that he was ready to clean out his carotid arteries with surgical intervention, but we went for a second opinion to a specialist and demanded tests and when they did carotid and arterial ultrasound and MRI testing his veins and arteries have almost no plaque - less than 3% - which is lower than most people's. Now if cholesterol was a factor he would have blocked arteries everywhere but he does not. Just more proof that their medications are not necessary... Does that mean he will not develop a heart problem? Who knows as that is so not totally understood at this time and I doubt that it ever will be... It is now slowly coming out that inflammation may be the culprit creating blocked arteries and not cholesterol plaque... It may or may not be the cause but that's much easier to treat, if you know how?  MAYBE 20 years from now, if enough of us demand accountability from the drug companies, enough scientists will become honest enough to release the true story behind this drug motivating farce. Of course the drug companies have to make their billions of dollars first... Paying attention to inflammation and preventing it from occurring should be the goal, with the information now surfacing, but drug companies can't make money with that premise because their chemical antibiotics are not effective for that purpose. I see doctors now starting to prescribe antibiotics trying to prevent it, but their antibiotics cannot do it properly as the body doesn't recognize chemicals as legitimate treatment? Pay close attention to gum inflammation and ongoing viral infections and work to clear and prevent them?

It's not just my opinion regarding those medications either. Being a triage nurse in medical offices/clinics, before and after cholesterol medications came on the market and the bogus scare by the drug companies, I watched and handled the calls to the doctor's from patients who had horrific side effects and realized it, but I also paid attention and I watched those become more ill as the months and years rolled by after starting the medications, but they nor their doctor had a clue their illnesses were actually being created by their medications and sending them to their death... Only the drug maker knows those toxic facts but is not telling us or doctors or is so subtle when mentioned that no one is catching it.

Medicine is not an exact science and the majority of doctor's do not have the true medical story for treating so why should we expect them to know it all... They get what the pharmaceutical industry gives them, unless they are smart and start to look at things outside those teachings. Thankfully some are changing their way of practicing medicine and looking at herbs and natural preventative medicine as the true answer, but so very few at this point... Doctors are human, and like most people will choose to take the easy way through life and that means not questioning!

You asked and that's my answer!

THE TRUST FACTOR

Are you aware of the TRUST FACTOR? The higher your trust factor is - your ability to trust other people and to be trusted yourself - the higher will be your level of life satisfaction. Let me explain.

We have been forced to become less trusting than just a few decades ago. Something that happened in Oklahoma in 1950 probably could not
happen today.

In 1950 a man calling himself F. Barn Morrison went to Wetumka, Oklahoma, and persuaded local residents to put up the money to bring a circus to town. They did not know Morrison, but trusted his word. Merchants bought plenty of food, beverages, and souvenirs in preparation for the crowds of people who were bound to attend. And Morrison sold advance tickets. The townspeople were ecstatic at the thought of a circus in their very own town! Children could hardly sleep at night.

Unfortunately, ecstasy turned into misery when Mr. Morrison slipped quietly away with all the money. There would be no circus. The townspeople were simple victims of misplaced trust.

The trust factor teaches us that every time our ability to trust is lowered, our happiness and life satisfaction levels are lowered, too.

The story has a happy ending, however. Someone came up with the idea of holding a four-day celebration anyway. And why not? They had all the food and goodies. Calendars were cleared and, besides, everyone's heart was set on having a good time.

They called their party The Sucker Festival. In a display of good-natured fun, people celebrated the fact that they'd been suckered big time!

I understand that The Sucker Festival, or Sucker Day, has been held most every year since. The Wetumka folk even tried for a number of years to contact the so-called Mr. Morrison so they could invite him to the festival - but he was nowhere to be found.

Modern society chips away at trust. We teach our kids in school about "stranger danger." We feverishly guard our identities against theft. People we don't know we cast under clouds of suspicion.

Yet trust is a vital part of successful living. I enjoy Elsa Einstein's simple statement of confidence in her husband Albert. "No, I don't understand my husband's theory of relativity," she said, "but I know my husband, and I know he can be trusted."

The trust factor also teaches that the happiest and most successful people share two traits: they are trustworthy and they have the ability to trust others.

First, they can be trusted. They have confidence in themselves and are known to be honest and dependable.

Second, they can also name one or more friends or family members they trust completely. They can be vulnerable and "real" with these people.

Factor trust into your life if you want to be truly happy.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

The Green Flowery Healthy Disease Proofing Vegetable!
 
As I washed and cut little floweret's into the steamer I stopped to think about just how healthy is this food I'm about to serve? Is it healthy? Will it make our body's better? Those are questions we should always ask when putting food into our body and this one particular vegetable is tops for answering YES to all of them?  
 
When it comes to nutritional value, broccoli is at the top of the list. It is rich in vitamins, high in fiber, low in calories and contains as much calcium as milk and much healthier. By including broccoli regularly in your diet you can reduce and prevent ailments like cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease.
 
Want to know how to beat prostate cancer? Your physician will probably tell you to take prescription drugs. That's the pharmaceutical industry trained doctor's answer who doesn't know better! For a dual killer of a lot of nasty illnesses mix tomato and broccoli, said to help reverse breast cancer, colon cancer, leukemia and other cancers of the body.
 
Why not something that is safer that your body is built to accept 100% and is proving to be far better for fighting diseases.
 
This green vegetable that looks like a bush, should be on everyone's plate on a regular basis, if they wish to stay healthy! Broccoli has been around for more than 2000 years. During the 16th century, the plant was grown in Italy and France. It began to be commercially grown in the United States in the 1920s. The word "broccoli" derives from the Italian 'Brocco' meaning arm branch. Broccoli is related to cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The most common type of broccoli sold in the U.S. is called sprouting, or Italian green, broccoli; its light-green stalks are topped by umbrella-shaped clusters of purplish-green florets. It is also known as Calabrese, after the Italian province of Calabria, where it was first grown. Other broccoli types are:
 
Broccolini: a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale.
Broccoflower: a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, comes in a single large head, like cauliflower, but is green rather than white.
Broccoli sprouts: a particularly concentrated source of sulforaphane. They're expensive, but a little goes a long way. 
 
Broccoli is an antioxidant rich food filled with the minerals Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium. Rich in vitamins such as; Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folic acid, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin A, Retinol and Vitamin E.  broccoli really delivers in the nutrition department. 
 
A University of Illinois-Urbana study found that rats eating a combination of broccoli and tomatoes had a lower rate of tumor growth than rats eating broccoli or tomatoes separately.  Researcher John Erdman said the two foods bring out the best in each other, and maximize the cancer-fighting effect of the nutrients they contain. You can mix the two for optimum illness fighters!
 
When choosing broccoli in the market, select organic heads that have tight and compact bud clusters with an even dark color. The stems should be a lighter green than the buds and easy to pierce with a fingernail. Avoid stalks with yellowed or open bud clusters and stems that are hard and dry. Broccoli can be stored, unwashed, in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper for days. Before use, wash by rinsing in purified/filtered water with a splash of vinegar for disinfectant. 
 
Storing broccoli: Refrigeration slows the conversion of sugar to lignin, thereby preserving texture and flavor; keeping broccoli chilled also protects vitamin C content. Store broccoli in an open plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper, which will provide the right balance of humidity and oxygen. Do not wash broccoli before storing; although it needs moisture to remain fresh, any water on its surface will encourage spoilage. Fresh broccoli is best if used within a day or two of purchase, but it will keep for up to four days in a crisper. Once cooked, any leftovers may be refrigerated for two to three days in a tightly covered container.
 
Our favorite ways of eating broccoli are steamed with a splash of seasoned rice vinegar, or raw with other veggies as a salad with lemon juice with virgin olive oil or flax seed oil as dressing. Also I like raw broccoli flowerets with sliced tomatoes and sliced sweet onions. Grandchildren like them with a bit of ranch dressing, which I don't think of as healthy, but a little once in a while isn't going to kill them and it gets them to eat the broccoli! I try to make Ranch dressing fresh so it's not quite as lethal.
 
Here is a great recipe:
 
Broccoli with Garlic
 
1 bunch of broccoli, OR 1 pound of frozen chopped broccoli
2 medium fresh tomatoes (cut into bite size pieces)
6 garlic cloves 
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons purified/filtered water
1/4 teaspoon hot (cayenne) pepper (optional)
 
Wash broccoli and cut into small florets.   Cut the tender parts of the stem into smallish cubes or save add to stew or make Broccoli Slaw.
 
Steam broccoli in until barely tender and still bright green. Don't overcook!  For all cruciferous, this is a very important guideline!
 
Place olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Chop or mince the garlic.   When the oil is hot, add sea salt, then the garlic.  Saute' stirring frequently, just until the garlic starts to soften.  Quickly add the water, and the cayenne if desired.  Turn heat low and simmer for a couple of minutes.
 
Place the broccoli and fresh tomatoes in a large glass or crockery serving bowl.  Pour the garlic mixture over it, mixing gently to coat each piece evenly.  Serve and enjoy.
 
Chill leftovers and add to salad the next day.
 
Now go get some broccoli for your next meal, enjoy and know you are eating for health!
