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!

QUESTION:
 
Is it bad for one's health to be scamed on the internet and the worse thing is you can't do anything about it.
 
J.P.
 
ANSWER:
 
A very interesting question J.P.! I'm not sure if you want to know about the spammee (person receiving the spam) or the spammer (person sending out the garbage)?

Spammer's will have to answer for their own selves as to whether they have a conscience and clutter up the net ruining it for others... I suspect it doesn't bother them and therefore will not harm a hair on their head... That would require guilt or stress, which obviously they do not have or we wouldn't receive so much of it...

The spammee; will depend on you and your ability to let go... For me, no it isn't harmful to my health... I deal with it by ignoring the thousands of spam I receive daily and knowing its part of being on the Internet. (I'm talking at least 15,000 and yes that's fifteen thousand plus daily unsolicited emails...) By ignoring it and accepting it as fact it does not stress me out, therefore I know it cannot hurt me. On the other hand one who lets everything annoy them and think they are privileged and shouldn't have to put up with it will be at risk. That person will stress out over it, which is creating damage to the body... Instead of thanking God that they have the funds and ability to be on the Internet and accept the fact that spam will happen, stress or anger will rule and damage is happening as they feel? Of course that same negative person will be at risk driving on the road 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 while not recognizing the beauty of differences. 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 that knowing we will suffer the consequences if they aren't good for us. If we stay out of other people's decisions we will be less stressed and less apt to be unhealthy... We each will make the decision as whether that spam will damage us or not... Letting it go or make it an issue determines the amount of stress and the damage it will do to your health!!!
 
A new study was just released showing how people who look for problems and look at negatives rather than positives are more apt to have Alzheimer's or other dementia's later on. So chill out and accept it as fact and you won't have to worry about whether spam is unhealthy or not!

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

 
QUESTION #2:
 
Hi, I have a question, that hopefully you can answer for me? I am 32 years old, I lost my uterus at 28 due to fibroid, I still have both ovaries and tubes.My husband and I are desperate to have a baby. Is uterine transplant possible, and have you heard of any success stories? We would greatly appreciate a response.
 
Thank you so much.
Mrs. Thistle
 
ANSWER:
 
I'm so sorry that a hysterectomy was the choice of your physician since shrinking of fibroids can be done with natural medicine. I also realize the desire and longing you must have to bear your own child and I wish I could tell you that a uterine transplant can be in your future but at this time there hasn't been even one successful human uterine transplant. Mice have been successful but as of now a human one hasn't and isn't really believed to be possible. One was done, almost successfully, in 2000 but had to be removed 99 days later due to blood clotting issues and possibly rejection, although the rejection was not verified as the patient's life was at risk and they could not take the time to ascertain that fact. As of now they have even stopped research possibilities for human uterine transplants, or at least any that is being written or talked about Since transplants of any type requires huge amounts of toxic drugs for a lifetime thereafter I would say any child that may be born from a transplanted uterus would not be a healthy one nor could it expect to live a normal life as it most likely would not have an immune system and multiple other problems, caused by the drugs given the transplant recipient...

Another thing to consider; If it were even possible, which it isn't, it would cost many thousands of dollars to do the transplant and pay for the ongoing drugs required, you could probably adopt several children for the same amount of money... There are so many children looking to be loved and adopted that, I would suggest you start adoption procedures and give some child(ren) love and happiness

I must say I am not a fan of transplantation and would never choose to have a transplant of any kind. Over the years I have watched so many transplant patients with various organ transplants that suffered severely after the transplant. The immune suppression medications opened them to every virus, bacteria and fungus they come in contact with. They are not able to eat so many things that they could before... Careful to stay away from people who may be ill, limiting places they can go. Many hospitalizations due to toxic affects of the drugs that invariably make them ill. The majority had their lives are cut short anyway due to the toxic affects of the anti-rejection drugs on the rest of the body's organs... I prefer quality of life over quantity. Now this is my opinion and everyone has theirs and I do not ask anyone to believe as I do.
 
Please readers don't send hate letters just because you disagree, as you cannot change my mind nor I change yours so don't waste the energy!!!
 
Lena

HOW TO HAVE A LIFE OF JOY

Do you know how to have a life of joy?

A businessman on his deathbed called his friend and said, "Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated." "And what," his friend asked, "do you want me to do with your ashes?" The businessman said, "Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the Internal Revenue Service and write on the envelope, "NOW YOU HAVE EVERYTHING!"

Paying taxes is not usually a joy. But GIVING can be joyful. We pay the taxes because we have to. But when we CHOOSE to give time or money, then giving can add to our overall happiness.

Mother Teresa teaches us an important lesson about happiness. She was one of those people who emanated joy. Born in 1910 in Eastern Europe, she felt called as a teenager to move to Calcutta, India. Some months later she saw a sight that completely revolutionized her life.

Shortly after moving to Calcutta she spotted a homeless, dying woman lying in the gutter, being eaten by rats. After seeing that, compassion compelled her to beg an abandoned Hindu temple from the government and convert it into a crude, make-shift hospital for the dying. "Nobody should die alone" she would later say. Mother Teresa went on to establish homes for the destitute dying in numerous cities. But in spite of devoting her life to people in such dire straits, she radiated joy and happiness.

This incredible woman was once interviewed by Malcolm Muggeridge from the BBC News. He asked her an unusual question: "Mother Teresa, the thing I noticed about you and the hundreds of sisters who now form your team is that you all look so happy. Is that a put-on?"

Here was a woman who had none of the things we like to think of as bringing happiness: a home, a family, prosperity... Rather, she lived in near-poverty and spent her time wiping dirt and various body fluids from half-dead cancer and leprosy victims... and appeared to be blissfully happy. "Is that a put-on" she was asked?

She replied, "Oh no, not at all. Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt."

She would agree that happiness does not come from acquiring, but is a by-product of giving: time, money, love. Do you want a life of joy? Start with a lifestyle of giving!

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

Punica proto-punica, Granada (Spanish), Grenade (French).
 
This round reddish fruit is sitting in markets these day in large quantities and something you should consider as a health food!
 
The pomegranate a native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout India and the drier parts of Southeast Asia, Malaya, East Indies and tropical Africa. The tree was introduced into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. Now grown for its fruits mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona.
 
Granted, it is a bit messy and can stain clothes mercilessly, but the unique sweet taste and health benefits are well worth it. Recent research to identify foods high in antioxidants have brought the pomegranate into the forefront of the antioxidants with its high levels of polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins -- all thought to be important parts of our cancer-prevention arsenal. Food seeds of all kinds are rich in fiber ? including the pomegranate - making for a healthy intestinal system. "Prostate, breast, and colon cancer rates are higher in populations consuming relatively large quantities of meat and lower in populations whose diet is rich in seed foods." Journal of the American Medical Association
 
The pomegranate tree is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to 20 or 30 ft., but more typically to 12 to 16 ft. in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. The trunk is covered by a red-brown bark which later becomes gray. Pomegranates are also long-lived. There are specimens in Europe that are known to be over 200 years of age. The vigor of a pomegranate declines after about 15 years, however.
 
The pomegranate fruit is almost a perfect round, 2-1/2 to 5 in. wide fruit with a crowned base known as a calyx. The tough, leathery skin or rind is typically yellow underneath and overlaid with light or deep pink or rich red. The inner fruits are separated by membranous walls and white, spongy, bitter tissue into compartments packed with sacs filled with sweetly acid, juicy, red, pink or whitish pulp. In each sac there is one angular, soft or hard seed.
 
Pomegranate is a delicious fruit, which has many potential beneficial compounds. Pomegranate has substances, such as polyphenols, that have antioxidant, anti-viral, and anti-tumor activity. Rich in the minerals Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper and Selenium along with Vitamins C, B-6, B-12, A, E, total ascorbic acid  Thiamin  Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate and Folic acid making for a very healthy food! Pomegranate may also be helpful in maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
 
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin reported that a pomegranate extract inhibited skin tumors in mice, while the red wine compound reseveratrol, applied topically, inhibited the expression of a cancer-causing protein normally caused by exposure to UVB rays. Pomegranate fruit extract (PFE)  contains several polyphenols and anthocyanidins (pigment that gives certain fruits their dark red color), which demonstrates a higher antioxidant activity than that of red wine and green tea, according to the Wisconsin researchers.
 
Seed removal tip:
Cut out the blossom end, remove some of the white pith, but do not break the red pulp around the seeds. Score the skin into quarters. Break the pomegranate into halves and then halve again following score lines. Bend back the rind and pull out the seeds.
 
Uses of the pomegranate;
 
The juice gives a unique fresh flavor to sauces and marinades for fish, chicken, and beef. Use the seeds to garnish fruit salad, dessert, and appetizers. Pomegranate juice is the original ingredient in Grenadine although contemporary manufacturers may utilize a synthetic.
 
The seeds and crimson pulp may be added to fruit salad for a touch of color and flavor.

To extract the juice, separate and crush the edible portion of ripe pomegranates (do not remove seeds at this point). Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out the juice, or cut the fruit in quarters and juice with a juicer. Most juicers will automatically extract the juice and discard the seeds.
 
The juice can be frozen in 1/2 pint or 1 pint containers, to make into punch later on.
 
Pomegranate Syrup
is absolutely fantastic with pancakes, waffles or French toast... To make it;

Boil together 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/3 teaspoon salt and 1/2 bottle liquid pectin. When mixture cannot be stirred down, add 5 1/2 cups sugar and boil for 5 or 6 minutes.
 
Enjoy your red food!
