Preventive Medicine

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Today I wanted to talk about a little preventive medicine. You have probally all heard of Proanthocyanidin (PCO)---well sure you have!!
PCO is a natural plant bioflavonoid extracted from the seeds of grapes. PCO is also known as Pycnogenol, and this potent bioflavonoid is so essential to you existence that it should be considered a vitamin, because our bodies cannot make it and we cannot survive without it. Its healing and preventive benefits are simply phenomenal. It has been used in France for more than 40 years but has only recently been discovered by Americans. PCO has been found to be the most potent antioxidant ever discovered. It is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times more potent that Vitamin E. It is also antiinflammatory, anti-allergic, and anit-mutagenic. PCO bioflavonoids are found in the peels, skins and seeds of fruits and vegetables and the barks of certain trees, including the lemon tree, The French maritime pine tree and the leaves of the leaves of the hazelnut tree. Grape Seed Extract yields a 95% concentration of PCO, the highest of any source. Pine bark is second, with an 85% concentration.
PCO bioflavonoids have a specific affinity for the connective tissue (collagena nd elastin) of the body, providing stabilization and protecti8on from premature breakdown. When you eat them they become incorporated into the connective tissues of your skin, blood vessels, joints and cell membranes. They protect your body from free radical damage. Free radicals are produced from oxygen metabolism with the body and from exposure to certain chemicals, environmental pollutants, sunlight, radiation burns, cigarett smoke, drug, alcohol, viruses, bacteria, parasites, dietary fats, and more.
Free radicals destroy cell membranes, damage collagen and other connective tissues, disrupt important physiologic processes and create mutations in the DNA of cells. They are implicated in more thatn 60 diseases, including heart disease, hardening of the arteries, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts and cancer. Free radicals are oxygen molecules with a missing or unpaired electron which spin erratically throughout the body, damaging every tissue they bounce into until they are finally quenched by an antioxidant such as vitamin C or E, beta-carotene, bioflavonoids, or certain exzymes produced by the body. As we grow older, the body's inherent production of free radical deactivating enzymes decreases. As this happens, the skin becomes leathery and wrinkled, arteries lose their elasticity, joints and cartilage stiffen, vision becomes cloudy, the spine becomes stooped, and every part of the body gradually deteriorates. PCO prevents the cross-linking of the body tissues that is associated with aging. It blocks connective tissue-destroying enzymes that otherwise would have a cumulative thinning and weakening effect on the body's connective tissue over time.
Grape Seed Extract is the most potent preventive nutrient you can buy. It can prevent the cross-linking of your connective tissue, promote new collagen and elastin production and slow down or reverse the biological process of aging to help prevent heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, arthritis, allergies, wrinkles, cellulite and more.
Well like I said before I am not a doctor or scientist and if you would like to read more on the subject, look for Clark Hansen, N.M.D. at your local library.
Until tomorrow--food for thought---
It takes less muscles to smile than to frown!!!!
Thanks for visiting.

Warning Labels

So did you look at all the labels? I find it very interesting that the ingredients all have names none of us could pronounce much less know what they do!! Even if the harsh and dangerous active ingredients are listed on a package, a lot of the time the rest of the ingredients are lumped into a category known as "inert" (not active) ingredients. This term may lead you to believe that these chemicals are not toxic or hazardous. Many of the 1,000 different chemicals used as INERT ingredients are more harmful than the active ingredients. The EPA does not require manufacturers to identify most inert chemicals or disclose their potential harmful effects. Even suspected carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) are used as inert ingredients in household products. These facts are written in detail in John Hartes' "Toxins, A to Z articles.
So on with this ---harmful chemicals that can cause death, cancer, central nervous systems disorders, learning disorders, birth defects, respiratory illness and many other health problems appear in most of the cleaning and personal care products in your home. Reading the labels will probally just confuse you, so I have just made a list of general products and their effects:
Air freshener-toxic; may cause cancer; irritates nose, throat and lungs.
Disinfectant- very toxic; causes skin, throat and lung burns; causes coma.
Drain cleaner-toxic; causes skin burns; causes liver and kidney damage.
Oven cleaner-toxic; causes skin, throat and lung burns.
Window cleaner-toxic; causes central nervous (CNS) system disorders, causes liver and kidney disorders.
Floor/Furniture Polish-toxic; causes CCN disorders; may cause lung cancer.
Spot remover-toxic;may cause cancer, causes liver damage.
All-purpose cleaner- causes eye damage;irritates nose,throat and lungs.
Chlorinated scouring powder-toxic;highly irritating to nose, throat and lungs.
Dishwasher detergent-toxic, causes eye injuries, damage to mucous membranes and throat.
Dishwashing liquid-harmful is swallowed, irritates the skin.
Carpet shampoo-toxic, may cause cancer, causes CNS and liver damage.
Laundry detergent-toxic; irritates the skin and lungs.
Bleach-toxic by swallowing; vapors are harmful;causes CNS disorders.
Stain remover-toxic; may cause cancer;vapors can be fatal.
Fabric softener-toxic; may cause cancer, causes CNS disorders; causes liver damage.
Of course this only happens if you breath, drink, spill or use these products!!!! We will all need a little help finding safe products and that is another story!!!!
These facts are provided by Dadds' Home Safe Home;Hartes' Toxins A to Z and Winters' A Consumer's Dirtionary of Household, Yard and Office Chemicals
Thanks for visitings and I will be back on Monday!!! Have a great weekend!!! Don't Clean!!!!ha

On to another day----

So we have all decided to look over the products we use to clean with everyday!!! Oh but how are we to decide what is safe??? I want to let everyone know, I am not a doctor or a chemist, just a concerned person trying to spread the word.
So you go to the store and get your cleaning supplies thinking they are proven safe?? Well here are some disturbing facts:
A product that kills 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive the federal regulatiory designation "non-toxic."
Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately tested for their negative effects on our health; less than 10% have been tested for their effect on the nervous system; and nothing is known about the combined effects of these chemicals when mixed within our bodies.
No law requires manufacturers to list the exact ingredients on the package label.
The unsettling facts on personal care products:
The FDA cannot regulate a personal care product until after it is released into the marketplace.
Neither personal care products nor their ingredients are reviewed or approved before they are sold to the public.
The FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing on their personal care products before they are sold to the public.
The FDA cannot require recalls of harmful personal care products from the marketplace.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. The results were as follows:
884 of the chemicals were toxic
314 caused biological mutation
218 caused reproductive complications
778 caused acute toxicity
148 caused tumors
378 caused skin and eye irritations.
All these facts were issued in Judith Berns "The Cosmetic C0ver-Up"

Ok, now we could go on and on about the laws, I have list of books about that but I only want to make you aware of products and what they are doing to you and the world around you.
Tomorrow we will go into warning labels, in the mean time look at your cleaning products, look at your personel care products, do you see anything normal in there???

Daily Informaion for a healthy you!

Some people just never realize how important their health is until they get sick. I am going to start my new blog with information on health and home, trying daily to add some piece of the puzzle. Today is: "Is Your Home a Healthy Home?
Scientist and doctors have discovered that there is a connection between our health and the use of common everyday household chemicals. If yours is the typical home, you probally use dozens of cleaning and personal care products, purchased at the local store, which contain chemical ingredients that could be harmful to your health. The typical home contains over sixty-three hazardous products that together contain hundreds of different chemicals. Research indicates that a dramatic rise in varoius deseases has increased with the use of these products.
The rest of the story----tune in tomorrow!!!
