 ASK LENA Q & A EDITION!
=========================== 
The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!! My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity -when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

There are ways of handling this problem mentally that will either keep you healthy or make you ill... It's a choice which you make in life and usually all areas of health and life are affected with negative thinking, which are those people who get angered and stressed about spam/scam and most other things in their lives that they cannot control.
 
We can never control everything around us and we have to accept that fact. Spam/scam is just one of those things! Whether it is unhealthy depends on your attitude. How to do that?
 
Number 1: example; I deal with it by ignoring the thousands of spam/scams I receive daily and knowing its part of being on the Internet. (I'm talking at least 10,000 to 15,000 and yes that's thousands daily unsolicited emails...) By ignoring it, deleting them and accepting it as fact it does not stress me out, therefore I know it cannot hurt me.  A choice I make daily in regards to a lot of things in my life. I do not take people's invasion into my life personal as it will only harm me and do nothing to them.
 
Number 2: On the other hand one who lets everything annoy them or is self absorbed and think they are privileged and shouldn't have to put up with it or one who takes everyday normal problem happenings in life as a personal affront will be at risk. One who stresses out over spam and other areas of life are creating adrenal damage to the body, which soon creates thyroid damage then on to the reproductive system and so-on... Instead of thanking God that they have the funds and ability to be on the Internet and accept the fact that spam/scam can occur and choose to be stressed or be angry about it let's damage happen as they feel the anger and stress... Of course that same negative person will be at risk driving on the highway or streets with all the different types of drivers or get upset when eating in a restaurant when a child cries or walking around the mall as they can only see the noise, ugly and mundane without recognizing the beauty in our differences or chooses to make a negative out of constructive criticism or another's decisions in life. Nor can that same person accept that we all have a right to our decisions and choices. God allows us the right to make our choices, good or bad, and we have to own our choices knowing we will suffer the consequences of our bad actions in whatever area of our life that pertains to. If we stay out of other people's life decisions we will be less stressed and less apt to be unhealthy...  It's a choice we must make to prevent damage to our health!
 
We each must make the decision as to whether that spam will damage us or not... Letting it go or make it a non issue that determines the lack of stress and the damage it will do to your health!!!  Choose to let it bother you and know that in anger and stress damage to your health is occurring as you allow the anger or stress into your brain.

My husband and I could be a great example of those two choices. I must say in defense of my husband, he had 22 years with a mother who had fifteen children and needed to keep disruptions and control of her home, which that many children can have on life. She did that by ruling with fear tactics and therefore he comes by his negativity from life from his upbringing yet he has had many more years away from it and still cannot overcome the majority of it... Shows how strong childhood is on life... I loved my mother-in-law dearly but she was wrong in those tactics... DH's take on life; Whatever change is coming about in our life he can tell you every single negative thing that could happen in any given scenario and in our fifty years I have yet to see any of his might-happens come to pass. He won't fly in a plane as it might crash, yet he will drive a car even though statistics says he is more likely to be killed or injured in a car. Makes no sense but negativity doesn't make sense... Therefore I travel by myself or with my children most of the time as I choose to fly whenever I can and he has missed out on life's joys a lot... Makes no sense but then you can't reason with that type of thinking and he makes his choices and must live with missing out on a lot of joys in life. While I choose to ignore his negativity the majority of the time or I would be nuts... That was a choice I had to make not too many years into our marriage or I would either be dead or extremely physically or mentally ill. When I finally decided to make the positive choice of ignoring his negativity my life became happier as well... No, I didn't stop working on him by pointing out his negative thinking kept him from life for these fifty years - by trying to get him to see none of his could-happens happened yet - but made almost no progress into his thinking. I choose to recognize that bad happens but I will deal with it when or if it happens and I don't see any reason to dwell on something that hasn't happen and doesn't happen most of the time and miss out on life because something MIGHT happen. Sure, we have had bad things happen in our marriage and life, just not those he verbalized... I was almost killed in an auto accident many years ago, I had four horrific pregnancies and four preemie babies, had a mega-bacteria following Kidney Surgery that almost took my life and I lived with severe pain for thirty plus years but I chose to take each one with a positive attitude and know it wouldn't last forever... He on the other hand has to talk about each of them at times with a stress filled expression as if it was happening now. I personally believe negative people enjoy being unhappy even though they will tell you that's not true. If it isn't true why do they continue that mode of thinking? If something is over and done with it's over and I refuse to dwell on it. If negative or bad is happening and it isn't going to hurt anyone physically or health wise I will simply ignore it and take what comes or find a way around it or deal it with the least damage possible. He on the other hand can't see beyond what is happening by dwelling on it and would never get around it on his own. Which type are you? Negative attitude or Positive attitude?
 
A study done on negative versus positive thoughts found that people who look for problems in negatives rather than positives are more apt to have Alzheimer's or other dementia's later in life although their later was in the 50's and I don't believe that is really later. Of course at 71 years of age 50 is young! ☺ Even though I give my husband Stress-X Tolerance damage control, as often as I can get him to take it, to try and prevent damage, my daughter swears her father is getting Alzheimer's and I believe she may be correct as we see some signs of his mind deteriorating. So that study may very well be correct.
 
My advice - Chill out and accept spam and scammers as fact, don't give into curiosity and you won't have to worry about whether spam/scam is unhealthy or not! Spam is a fact and is here so we have to deal with it in the healthiest manner possible. DELETE AND IGNORE IT!

That's my opinion as well as a group of researchers and I'm sticking with it...

In October 2008, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) announced a grim milestone: The number of serious drug reactions and deaths reported to the FDA set a new record in the first quarter of 2008 - almost 21,000 serious reactions were reported, and more than 4,800 deaths.

PUT YOUR BEHIND IN YOUR PAST

I like what Miguel de Cervantes, the author of DON QUIXOTE, said, "Love not what you are, but what you may become." There is hope that I can always change for the better. I can become more self confident, more in charge of my life, healthier, happier -- you get the idea. And there is hope that I can change a situation -- like finding a new career or going after a new life-style.

If you're like me, making any big changes can be scary. We will have to COMMIT. And we may have to take a risk.

Let me illustrate what I mean:

Consider a performer on a trapeze. She swings back and forth. And then she encounters another trapeze bar. It is swinging toward her and it is empty. Now she has a decision to make. She may continue to hang onto her present bar, or let go and grasp the new one. But she can't do both! She can't hang onto the old and grasp the new with her other hand. She HAS to decide which she wants.

If she chooses to let go of the past and grasp the future, she finds herself suspended for a moment in mid-air. Scary! It's too late to go back and she has not yet latched onto the other bar. She is vulnerable and at risk. But she has decided to take that risk in order to move forward.

Life is like that. Sometimes you have let go of something if you want to latch onto something else. Maybe you will need to let go of an old job in order to take a new one. Or you may have to let go of an old relationship before fitting a new one into your life. You have to let go of other priorities on your time or money before grasping that new opportunity.

And for a while you may feel suspended in mid-air. You've committed to something new and let go of the past, but you have not yet grasped what is ahead. You feel vulnerable and you may be frightened. But you know that the only way you can reach the new "bar" is to let go of the old one.

But like Pumba (from "The Lion King") says, "Ya gotta put your behind in your past." Then you're ready for whatever comes next.
