As I sit here tired and worn from such a fast trip I hope this is going to make sense. Luckily most of it was done before I left so it should be somewhat recognizable... Have a good week...

Rob writes; Help please? Do you have any suggestions on how a person with dry macular degeneration can improve vision? My doctor says there isn't any real answer and that I am destined to become blind at any moment or sometime in the future? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Steve's Motivator this week, "LEARN TO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE" is something that we all need to know... 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.

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...

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:

Help please? Do you have any suggestions on how a person with dry macular degeneration can improve vision? My doctor says there isn't any real answer and that I am destined to become blind at any moment or sometime in the future? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Rob G.
 
 
ANSWER:
Thanks for the question Roberto? Since 90% of people who have macular degeneration have the dry type, so that puts you in a very large group of people. 
 
Macular degeneration of both wet and dry is a break down in the circulatory ability of the eye. Brought about by insufficient nutrition in the whole body, as the alternative medical community is aware of but mostly ignoring, because the pharmaceutical companies haven't done their billion dollar testing to come up with the proper combination that works.
 
At the moment the traditional medical community statement is; "There is no proven medical therapy for dry macular degeneration." But they also go on to state,  "Science has demonstrated that people with diets high in fruits and vegetables (especially leafy green vegetables) have a lower incidence of macular degeneration. More studies are needed to determine if nutritional supplements can prevent progression in patients with existing disease."  While they wait for those studies twenty years or so down the road more people are losing their normal vision from ignorance of the doctors. More than 90% of physicians will tell you there is no help for you? They have no idea that the herbal world has the answers and people are getting vision back and a lot preventing blindness with herbal and mineral balance? 
 
I have found that if something prevents a disease or illness it can also correct that problem when consumed in large enough quantities! Of course with diet alone that would be a daunting task and you could end up very obese trying to do it with just food!
 
The cases I have witnessed have seen total correction and normal vision again. I have seen people give up their glasses after taking the Vision formula for a few months to a year later as their vision and body became healthy. My friend Gil was afflicted with AMD in 1996 you can read about his experience at http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/gils_story.htm He is only one of many that I know who have had success with the regimen below...
 
Starting yesterday you could have done the following and probably be seeing as well as Gil and the others?
1)         1 teaspoon of Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals, by mouth,  in 6 ounces of carrot, or pineapple, or V8 juice every morning and between 3 PM & 4PM.
2)         Put 1 teaspoon in a basin of warm water and put your face into it and blink your eyes 8 to10 times to get the nourishment into the eye.
3)         Take the Vision Macular Degeneration Anti-cataract formula 3 capsules three times a day. That can be lowered to one or two three times a day once the vision has returned to normal.
 
For even greater and faster improvement you could add the PROALGEAN OMEGA FORMULA . Take 6 capsules of Proalgean per day, 2 caps with each meal, it's a high eye and brain health formula.
 
The "Life Transfusion Ionic liquid minerals," "Vision Macular Degeneration formula" and "ProAlgean Omega Formula" can be found online at http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/herbal_pharmacy.htm
 
Good luck and let me know if you go this route and what happens.

LEARN TO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE

A woman was explaining her theory of putting her children to bed: "I never tell bedtime stories that begin with 'Once upon a time,'" she said. "If I really want to put them to sleep, I start off with, 'Now, when I was your age...'" It's nice to understand people so well that we know just what to say! Here is a mother who could speak her children's language.

The story is told of the most famous elephant in the world -- a huge, beautiful and gentle beast named Bozo. Children extended open palms filled with peanuts for the Indian elephant, who gently plucked them from little hands and seemed to smile as he ate his treats.

But one day, for some inexplicable reason, Bozo changed. He almost stampeded the man who cleaned his cage. He charged children at the circus and became incorrigible. His owner knew he would have to destroy the once-gentle giant.

In order to raise money for a new elephant, the circus owner held a cruel exhibition. He sold tickets to witness Bozo's execution and, on the appointed day, his arena was packed. Three men with high-powered rifles rose to take aim at the great beast's head.

Just before the signal was given to shoot, a little, stubby man in a brown hat stepped out of the crowd and said to the elephant's owner, "Sir, this is not necessary. Bozo is not a bad elephant."

"But he is," the man argued. "We must kill him before he kills someone."

"Sir, give me two minutes alone in his cage," the visitor pleaded, "and I'll prove to you that you are wrong. He is not a bad elephant."

After a few more moments of discussion (and a written statement absolving the circus of liability if the man should be injured), the keeper finally agreed to allow the man inside Bozo's cage. The man removed his brown derby and entered the cage of the bellowing and trumpeting beast.

Before the elephant could charge, the man began to speak to him. Bozo seemed to immediately quiet down upon hearing the man's words. Nearby spectators could also hear the man, but they could not understand him, for he spoke a foreign language. Soon the great animal began to tremble, whine and throw his head about. Then the stranger walked up to Bozo and stroked his trunk. The great elephant tenderly wrapped his trunk around the man, lifted him up and carried him around his cage before carefully depositing him back at the door. Everyone applauded.

As the cage door closed behind him, the man said to Bozo's keeper, "You see, he is a good elephant. His problem is that he is an Indian elephant and understands one language." He explained that Bozo was frustrated and confused. He needed someone who could speak his language. "I suggest, sir, that you find someone in London to come in occasionally and talk to the elephant. If you do, you'll have no problems."

The man picked up his brown derby and walked away. It was at that time that the circus owner looked carefully at the signature on the paper he held in his hand -- the note absolving the circus of responsibility in the case he was injured inside the elephant's cage. The statement was signed by Rudyard Kipling.

People also become frustrated and angry when they are not understood. But great relationships are formed by parents who learn to speak their children's language; lovers who speak each other's language; professionals who speak the language of their staff and clients. When people understand that YOU understand, that you empathize with their heartaches and understand their problems, then you are speaking their language! It is the beginning of true communication.

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

Sweet Prunus avium L.
Sour
Prunus cerasus L.

In a few weeks the season will be upon us in parts of the United States:
So it's time to get those taste buds working overtime anticipating the sweet and tart taste? Cherry Picking Time!
 
Cherries are a small, round, red stone fruit. They grow on trees in small clusters. There are both sweet cherries and sour cherries. Sweet cherries are round or slightly heart-shaped.
 
Cherries are eaten fresh, made into pie filling, flavored yogurt, jellies, jams, sauces, stewed fruit, fruit drinks, ice cream and candies. Cherries are a good source of vitamin C, the B vitamins, potassium and many micronutrients. Most sweet cherries are eaten fresh. Almost all sour cherries are processed for canning.
 
Compact, juicy, and colorful, cherries are nicely supplied with nutrients, notably pectin (a soluble fiber that helps control blood cholesterol levels), vitamin C, and beta-carotene, with some potassium. (Sour cherries, which are sometimes called "pie cherries," have considerably more vitamin C than sweet cherries do, though much of it is lost when the cherries are cooked.)
 
Cherries are also high in a number of phytochemicals, including: anthocyanins (pigments responsible for the red and blue colors of fruits and vegetables), which are touted to have anticancer properties based on their antioxidant activities that defend cells against harmful carcinogens); and quercetin, a flavonoid, which is an antioxidant and with anticancer properties as well as anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties. It is this anti-inflammatory activity that has made cherries (specifically cherry juice) of interest to people who suffer from gout.
 
Both sweet and sour cherries besides being rich in fiber also contain several vitamins, such as Vitamin A, Thiamin- B1, Riboflavin- B2 and Vitamin C.  Also mixed in are the minerals such as Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Sodium, Niacin and Potassium.
 
There's even a possible dental health bonus in that studies have shown that a substance (not yet identified) in cherry juice may help prevent tooth decay.
 
Although some people find the cherry pit an annoying feature, the cherry's only other shortcoming is their brief season, which lasts less than 3 months.
 
The two basic categories of cherry: sweet and sour.
 
Sweet Cherries;
 
Bing: There are many commercial varieties of sweet cherries, but the leader is the Bing, a large, round, extra-sweet cherry with purple-red flesh and a deep red skin that verges on black when fully ripe and great fresh.
 
Lambert: The second most popular variety is the Lambert, a smaller, heart-shaped red cherry similar in taste and texture to the Bing.
 
Rainier: The Rainier, a sweet cherry with yellow or pinkish skin, is grown in limited quantities and is milder and sweeter than the Bing.
 
Royal Ann: Another light-skinned variety, the Royal Ann, is often canned or made into maraschino cherries.
 
Sour cherries:
 
Most commercially grown sour varieties--such as Montmorency, which is the best known--are canned or frozen for use as pie fillings or sauces, although you can occasionally find fresh sour cherries during the summer months at farmers' markets and roadside stands. Sour cherries are smaller than sweet cherries and are a bright scarlet.
 
Both sweet and sour cherries have extremely short shelf lives, and must be handled gently to reduce bruising and oxidation.
 
Sour cherries for processing are dumped into cold water immediately following harvest. They are then transported to processing plants, where they are washed, de-stemmed, pitted, and packed for freezing, all within hours from harvest.
 
Sweet cherries are hydrocooled or dumped into cold water by pickers, and packed in shallow flats after being sorted based on color and size, usually the largest being 15/16 inch or higher.
 
Sweet cherries are usually shipped immediately, since shelf life is 2 weeks. They are subject to the same post-harvest diseases (brown rot, grey mold, blue mold, Rhizopus, Alternaria, etc..) as other stone fruits.
 
A nutrient rich food!
 
Maraschino cherries are made mostly from sweet cherries, but a small proportion of sour cherries are brined for this purpose. Brined cherries are de-colorized with SO2, then steeped in Marasca, a liqueur distilled from the fermented juice of wild cherries.
 
Our favorite way of eating cherries are fresh and ready for popping into the mouth. Nothing quite so great as picking and eating when they are in season. But we also love cherry cobblers and pies?
 
Here are two versions of Cherry Cobblers for in season or off!
 
Fresh Cherry Cobbler
 
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups pitted fresh tart cherries
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup milk
 
Preheat oven to 400?. Blend 1 1/4 cups sugar, cornstarch, cherries, and almond extract in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute. Pour fruit mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole.
 
Place in oven while preparing dough.
 
Measure flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and milk. Cut shortening in several times then stir until dough forms a ball. Drop dough in about 6 spoonfuls onto hot fruit. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm with cream, if desired, or cool slightly and serve with vanilla ice cream

 
 
Cherry Cobbler with Biscuit Mix
 
2 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 can (20 ounces) drained canned tart cherries, reserve juice
1 cup cherry juice (add water to make 1 cup if necessary)
2 teaspoons butter
1 cup biscuit mix
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk
 
Preheat oven to 425?.  In a bowl, combine tapioca, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, cherries and the 1 cup cherry juice (if there isn't enough cherry juice to make 1 cup, add a little water). Mix and put into a lightly buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Dot top of cherry mixture with 2 teaspoons butter, cut in small pieces.
 
Bake at 425? for 12 minutes.

 
In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, and evaporated milk. Remove cherry mixture from the oven and drop dough by tablespoonfuls on top to make 4 dumplings.
 
Bake for about 12 minutes longer, or until dumplings are lightly browned.
 
Cherry Cobbler serves 4. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream of a dollop of whipped topping.

 
Enjoy
