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 while observing
the life and health of many in 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!

QUESTION:
Dear Lena,
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy reading your articles on
how to cure the common problems that afflict so many.
Thank you for being a light for us! It seems that
allergies are taking over my house and I'm at a loss as
to what we can do about it. Could you advise me? The
nose is running and sneezing seems to take over whether
we are indoors or outside?
I thought that some good strong natural herbal teas
would help reduce it but no such luck. I also want to
know if there are any good teas that we can drink for
our allergies.
My wife saw her doctor but her Doctor gave her a
prescription for Allegra out of all things. Well to make
a long story short, this is not working for her very well
and therefore I am writing you in the hopes we can get
some sound advise on how to treat allergies in order to
reduce them completely, if at all possible.
Any and all information you can provide us would be most
appreciated.
Your help is appreciated,
Robert T.
ANSWER:
Thanks for your questions Robert!
Since you don't mention headaches, low grade fever or
other allergy symptoms I would hazard a guess that you
guys are suffering from Hay Fever, a seasonal allergic
reaction to the pollens in the air is making you
miserable... This happens when the immune system isn't
functioning as it should...
I am not aware of any individual commercial herbal tea
that absolutely works. Herbs help the body to readjust
and heal the immune system, when given the right ones,
but it takes time for that to happen. Herbs do not
treat symptoms in the same way as Westernized medicine, they help
heal. And it usually takes a combination of several herbs to do
the job right. As a reminder and at the risk of repeating
myself, nothing will work very well unless the body has
the proper minerals to help with whatever a body is
ingesting... read this article >
ABC's of
Minerals
The immune system has to be cleaned and repaired for
lasting effectiveness!
You can try 1/4 teaspoon grated
fresh Ginger and 1/8 teaspoon horseradish with 2
teaspoons of organic honey steeped in 8 - 10 ounces of
boiling water for 10 minutes, This can be strong and you
may not like it, but it will cut to the bone of the
symptoms fast, just won't cure the problem.
The herb Feverfew helps with the some of the symptoms
but doesn't really treat the problem at the moment
either...
Sadly the traditional medical world only treats symptoms
and not prevention or correction... Their prescriptions
only have to be 20% effective at treating symptoms to be
allowed, on the market by the FDA... That
means only 20% will benefit but 80% will not...
Here is something else you and/or she can make that can
help.
Immune building syrup:
1 bulb of fresh garlic, peeled and then crushed.
1 cup of organic black honey. (Other honey can be used.)
1 fresh lemon, quartered, WITH skin.
Place the crushed garlic, honey and the lemon in a
blender.
Blend the contents until smooth.
Pour into a glass jar with a good lid for storage. Can
refrigerate it or not...
DOSAGE:
Gives strength to the immune system, 1 teaspoon 3
times per day. Follow with 8-ounces of water.
If a person is fighting cancer, TB, polio, a severe
cold, have symptoms of SARS, AIDS/HIV or any life
threatening illness, the dosage should be higher (1
teaspoon 9 times a day) always followed by a glass
of filtered/purified water, not distilled
water.
This immune building mixture is delicious served in a
hot cup of soy, rice, millet or cashew milk.
Heat the milk until about to boil. Turn off heat and
place Syrup in the milk and stir. This is a good way to
start the day and/or to have before retiring.
If that doesn't reverse it I am taking the liberty of
adding what I know works with Wayne Garland's Master
Formulas (Severe allergies may take much longer)
Immune Building protocol;
**Before starting this you must do a complete one day
fast and only drink fresh whole (not canned or bottles)
juices for that day, no solid foods. This will boost the
immune system cleaning helping create an atmosphere for
it toward becoming more balanced...
This Wayne Garland Protocol works for about 90% that
follow the protocol...
*Start your day with
Life
Transfusion Ionic Liquid minerals in 4 to 6 ozs.
juice. (V8, carrot, cucumber, tomato, orange, lemon or
other fresh squeezed juice of your choice.) This is the
key to absorption and immune building...
*Salads (no iceberg lettuce it doesn't have the same
nutritional value of deep, green lettuce like green
romaine, red leaf, etc.) at least one big green salad a
day... Choose from a variety of Cucumbers, Bean Sprouts,
Carrots, Celery, Broccoli, Cauliflower, mushrooms, Snow
Peas, Parsley, Alfalfa Sprouts are really good. - Look
for greenhouse or vine ripened tomatoes.
*Shop organic where possible to avoid pesticides and
other harmful chemicals.
*Use Barlean's Flax Seed Oil,
www.barleans.com or from the health food store,
mixed with lemon as salad dressing.
*Make your food simple, no fancy sauces - A piece of
grilled, hormone/pesticide free chicken, turkey or fish
with salad and vegetables for instance.
*Spice up your meals with crushed garlic, shallots,
onions and herbs.
*Eliminate all milk from cows. No cheese. No ice cream.
This overloads the I.S. with chemicals and hormones...
Switch to soy milk instead, soy butter and soy ice
cream. The VitaSoy brand is Dr. Garland's choice of the
best.
*One or two meals a week can be 1/2 cup brown rice
steamed with vegetable broth and spices and steamed
veggies. Drizzle the liquid essential acids "Bragg's
Liquid Amino" over the rice and veggies. Or a bowl of
Miso Soup with vegetables.
*Make herb teas and your drinks of choice with fresh
lemon squeezed into them with purified water (not
distilled water--purified water!) . If you do not have a
water filter in your home check out
Purification/Filtration Units
*Veggie omelets made with egg whites, veggies of your
choice and soy cheese on occasion. Remember, NO DAIRY,
you are not a calf and dairy has too many chemicals and
hormones that will only suppress the immune system!
*Avoid all food that is white -- these are poison and
bleached with chlorine. NO WHITE SUGAR AND NO WHITE
FLOUR. (That does not mean substitute aspartame or
other chemical sweeteners, Stevia works great and is
natural and healthy for you!) Least expensive Stevia
I've found is at
http://www.vitacost.com Dates make a great sweetener
as well?
*No White Rice, bread or crackers.
*Eliminate all fried food, preferably forever!
*Avoid all pork, bacon, ham, sausages, deli meats and
pepperoni, or prepared boxed or bagged foods, they are
laced with nitrates and MSG.
* Have "Emperor's
ChiŽ
Tea" Morning and noon with early evening cup 1
tablespoon per 8 ounce cup of hot water (may also be
drunk cold),
Respiratory
Support 3 capsules three times a day for
two weeks then 2 capsules three times a week until
condition reverses and some have to take Respiratory for
six to nine months, then repeat a bottle every three
months. Add
Immune Support 2-3 capsules three times a day,
for a complete makeover of the immune system, which is
what creates allergies when the I.S. is so out of whack
and not functioning to it's potential...
This is a rather long answer but since I know of no real
herbal tea drinks that work well for allergies I feel
this is a best bet for any allergy sufferer.
Dr. Garland and I believe that anyone over the age of 10
or 12 years should be on total balanced minerals on a daily
basis... Every study I've read over the last ten years
has found one or more minerals lacking in every diseased
body, only goes to prove what we've known for many more
years than that... Read >

ATTRACTING
PEOPLE TO YOU
In West Virginia folklore there is a story
of a country doctor who was called out to a
holler late one night to assist a woman about to
give birth. By the time the doctor arrived at
the farmhouse, things had progressed to a point
where the doctor asked the husband to help him
by holding a gas lantern up high in order to
illuminate the makeshift delivery room.
Before long, the courageous mother delivered a
healthy baby boy. As the father lowered the
lantern, the doctor barked an order to keep the
lantern aloft: "We're not done yet." Shortly, a
second child appeared on the scene, a healthy
baby girl. Shaken by the unexpected arrival of
twins, the father heard the doctor say once
again, "We can't stop now. It looks as if it's
going to be triplets." To which the stunned
father, still holding the lantern high, replied,
"Do you think it's the light that's attracting
them?"
Light has a quality of attraction. I recently
left my office door open late one afternoon in
our mountain home and, at dusk, the light from
within attracted -- a hummingbird! (Coaxing a
hummingbird out of the house is a little like
pushing a rope. Mostly, whatever you do doesn't
work.)
You, too, have a light that attracts...an inner
light. Not visible to the naked eye, but
apparent just the same. We speak of a "twinkle"
in the eye or a "flicker" of warmth in the
heart. Some people shine with a light of
kindness. Others emit a light of hope. There are
those who glow with enthusiasm and still others
who radiate love.
Almost all creatures are drawn to light,
including humans. Do you want to attract people
to you? Positive and life-affirming inner
qualities can attract people like a warm fire on
a cold night. What will draw other people to you
best cannot be purchased in any department
store. They will respond to that which radiates
from within.
You may not always see it, but your light is
shining through. And it's one of your most
attractive qualities!

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
Olea europaea L
 This
little healthy food is harvested almost year round in some part of the
world. Some people may tell you it's too fattening and should be avoided
if you want to lose weight. Too much of any good thing can be fattening
and it is the same with this little food...
When my
grandchildren were younger they liked to use this week's food as finger
fun. Each finger would have a black or green one slipped on one or all
fingers of both hands and used them as fun food, waving them and
plucking one at a time off a finger and into their mouth. Some mom's
would find this disgusting but I find that children use all kinds of
things for play that can invariably end up good for them and if it takes
playing a bit to get them to eat well, so be it! That was the beginning
of introducing my grandchildren to olives and they learned to love them
just because they could have fun with it... Now they are growing up and
I don't see that behavior any longer but still fondly remember chiding
them that food wasn't a toy but secretly admiring their ability to make
fun out of every aspect of life...
The olive -
Olea europaea L. - is a subtropical evergreen tree or shrub with
leaves that are waxy green on top and grayish green on the bottom. Young
bark is green, but older bark is gray. In the Mediterranean, olive trees
are known to live for over a thousand years. If the top is damaged, a
new tree will sprout from underground parts. The olive tree gives us
great food and health nutrients! Olive trees have been cultivated for
thousands of years, and were already plentiful during biblical times.
Tracing it back to Biblical times when a branch in a dove's mouth sent
Noah the message that dry ground existed and he and his family could
leave the ark gives us a bit of history. Olives continue to be grown in
the Mediterranean area today. The olive was also important to the Greeks
and the Romans, who made it a part of their mythologies to celebrate the
use of its oil as an essential food and fuel for lamps. The olive leaf
extract was also used to prepare the dead for burial.
The conditions
for the olive's greatest cultivation is found in Italy and Spain. It was
the Spanish who spread the olive to America. Catholic missionaries
spread the olive to Mexico and later to California, as well as to South
America.
Plucked from the
tree, the olive is extremely bitter, and virtually inedible. Prior to
eating, olives are typically cured, either in brine, water or in oil.
Freshly picked olives can also be stir-fried to remove some of the
bitterness before eating.
Over the centuries mankind has produced and
propagated a myriad of olive varieties. Today several dozen varieties
are grown commercially around the world. We in the U.S. are lucky that
five commercially important varieties are grown in California:
Ascolano
Very large, ellipsoidal fruit. Skin color very light even when ripe, pit
very small. Fruit is tender and must be handled carefully. Contains very
little bitterness and requires only moderate lye treatment. Excellent
for pickles, but needs proper aeration during pickling to develop "ripe"
color. Tree a heavy bearer, widely adapted.
Barouni
Large fruit, almost as large as Sevillano. Trees spreading and easy to
harvest. Withstands extremely high temperatures. The variety usually
shipped to the East Coast for making home-cured olives. Originally from
Tunisia.
Gordal
Medium to large, plump fruit, ripening early. Resembles Sevillano. A
popular pickling olive and principal cultivar in Spain, producer of most
of the world's table olives.
Manzanillo
Large, rounded-oval fruit. Skin brilliant purple, changing to deep
blue-black when mature. Resists bruising. Ripens early, several weeks
earlier than Mission. The pulp parts readily with its bitterness and is
exceedingly rich when pickled. Excellent for oil and pickles. Tree
spreading, vigorous, a prolific bearer.
Mission
Medium-sized, oval fruit. Skin deep purple changing to jet-black when
ripe. Flesh very bitter but firm, freestone. Ripens rather late. Good
for pickling and oil, specially ripe pickles. Most widely used for
cold-pressed olive oil in California. Tree vigorous, heavy-bearing. More
cold resistant than other cultivars. Grown at the old missions in
California.
Picholine
Small, elongated fruit. Skin light green, changing to wine red, then
red-black when ripe. Pulp fleshy, firm-textured. Tree vigorous,
medium-sized, bears heavy crops regularly. Cured olives have a delicate,
subtle, lightly salty, nut-like flavor. Usually salt-brine cured.
Popular in gourmet and specialty markets.
Rubra
Medium-small, ovate fruit. Skin jet-black when ripe. Ripens 3 to 4 weeks
earlier than Mission. Best suited for oil, but is also used for
pickling. Tree large, precocious, often producing fruit the second year.
An exceptionally prolific bearer. Very hardy and reliable even in dry
situations. Originated in France.
Sevillano
Very large fruit, bluish-black when ripe. The largest California
commercial variety. Stone large, clinging. Ripens early. Low oil
content, only useful in pickling. Used for making Sicilian style salt
brine cured olives, also the leading canning cultivar. Tree a strong
grower and regular bearer. Require deep, rich, well drained soil. Will
not stand much cold.
Known Health
Benefits:
FRUIT:
First are the fruits processed and eaten either as ripe or pickled.
Olives are most widely used in Italian dishes...
LEAF:
Olive leaf extract has also been studied for its ability to normalize
blood pressure.
The most
commonly known use of the olive is its oil:
Widely used and
best for our health is the oil pressed from ripe fruit... Like other
types of vegetable oils, olive oil contains no cholesterol. Organic
virgin oil has 120 calories and 14 grams of fat per tablespoon. The
olive oil is important in prevention of heart disease. Its high
concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, compounds decrease blood
levels of LDL cholesterol - the type associated with plaque build-up in
the arteries - and increase levels of protective HDL cholesterol. The
higher amount of monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil is known to
help improve your cardiovascular health. Olive oil is classified mainly
by the amount of acidity, as well as the flavor, color and aroma. "Extra
virgin" olive oil meets the highest standards for low acidity and rich
and fruity taste. It should have less than .8% acidity content. "Pure"
olive oil has a lighter color and aroma, and is often used as a general,
all-purpose olive oil.
About 40% of the
calories in the typical Greek diet come from olive oil. To some that
looks like a lot of fat, yet this traditional Mediterranean style of
eating -- which emphasizes fish, olive oil, whole grains, and fruits and
vegetables -- seems to contribute to the favorably low rates of heart
disease among people who live in the countries that ring the
Mediterranean Sea. Olives are a great antioxidant bearing food. Both
vitamin E and polyphenols act as antioxidants, inhibiting the
development of heart disease by reducing the oxygen-related damage along
artery walls. An ingredient in olive oil also appears to make the blood
less likely to clot, reducing the chance that an errant blood clot will
block an artery and lead to a heart attack or stroke.
In our house you
will find olive oil as the only oil used and I make my own butter spread
by putting one-half butter and one-half olive oil whip it up and into a
container and refrigerate it. You cannot tell the difference and it has
no artificial anything to make it unhealthy. Try it you will like it!
