Omega-3 EFAs are available in flax seeds, in cold ocean fish (sardine, salmon, mackerel, and herring), and in fish oil supplements.
Here we have to make a distinction between Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA.
ALA is a short chain omega-3 EFA found in flax seed, and in flax seed oil. EPA and DHA are long chain omega-3 EFAs.

ALA has little biochemical function except to contribute to cell membrane fluidity, and to be the raw material to make EPA and DHA.

The conversion of ALA into EPA and DHA is a slow process. In best conditions 5 to 7 percent of the ingested ALA is converted into longer chain omega-3 EFAs only.
People that can not convert enough ALA need food and supplements containing EPA and DHA.

More needs to be said about EFAs and allergies. I can't buy normal EFAs even though I sell them through American Longevity. I need to find out first if a person is an allergy type before I let them buy EFA from me. I would suggest a different EFA (from NSI) if they are allergic types, since EFA is necessary to make all the other minerals work the best they can, so they do need them.

Omega 3 is the only one wanted by ‘allergy types’. Omega 6 incites immune response, often causing allergy because of over-response, while 3s suppress it. Omega 6s come from food all over America, like French Fries, vegetable oil and salad dressing, but 3s don't come in at all. Even all 3s aren't good for allergy types. Flax Seed Oil, which is a 3, was not the best for me, being only a short-chain building block which my body was unable to use to build long chain since I have a damaged immune system, like all allergy sufferers.

With any autoimmune disease, Flax Seed Oil is not good enough in spite of it being an Omega 3, which we need so much. EPA and DHA, (the 'long-chain best of all EFA ("end-results")') that we do need can only be found in cold water oily fish, namely salmon, anchovy, sardine, herring and mackerel. I wonder how much of that is in the American diet? I must laugh. Very little, as Doc Ed says. We must supplement. We simply must. And mine has to be specific Omega 3-EPA/DHA only. Not the typical product on the market, Omega 3-6-9. This, I have discovered, is important, although so few know it. But research it for yourself, please!

Some of my allergy is already cured, I believe, but I understand that it may take up to 2 years before I will be totally allergy free. Still, what a wonderful piece of knowledge. And I can now eat shrimp! Thank you, Doc Ed. Kingmaker recommends NSI Mega EFA Omega-3EPA & DHA ($13.99) to solve allergy problems. Just click on the link below to purchase.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash therisk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% lesslikely to develop bladder cancer. And now for the properties of

COKE:
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola intothe toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass of water?

Have A Great Day and Share It With Others!

AND, HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! (the most disturbing facts....):
1. Margarine is but only ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC .
2. And, margarine is initially BLACK , but it is DYED YELLOW to look like butter .

These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). You can try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) .. it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value, nothing will grow on it...even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not find a home to grow.

Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? Yuk!

Getting the right balance of Omega-3s and Omega-6s in the diet may ward off much of the bone loss seen with post-menopausal osteoporosis, say US scientists. Much of the research on omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, has focused on their benefits for the heart and mental health.

But a recent study adds to mounting evidence of their role in bone health. "Our lab and others have shown that omega-3 fatty acids help promote bone formation," said Bruce Watkins, professor and director of Purdue University's Center for Enhancing Foods to Protect Health.

Consumption of EFA's (Omega-3 essential fatty acids) reduces the risk of cardiac mortality in intervention trials better than statin drugs, according to a research review published in the Archives of Internal Medicine (165, 7: 725-30,2005).

Researchers at University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, reviewed results of randomized controlled trials that compared a lipid lowering intervention with placebo or usual diet with respect to mortality. Compared with control groups, the risk ratios for cardiac mortality decreased 22 percent for statins and 32 percent for Omega-3 fatty acids.

Fish Oil supplements and foods fortified with marine-sourced omega-3 fats on the UK market have gained the scientific go-ahead to promote the heart-health benefits of their products.

The news lends further backing to an Omega-3 health claim in future regulation, currently under discussion by MEPs. The US FDA has also approved a health claim for Omega-3 fatty acids in foods and supplements. The FDA-approved health claim was submitted by Dr. Joel Wallach and American Longevity and had positive comments submitted to the FDA by Kraft Foods and the Oregon Health Sciences Institute.

More needs to be said about EFAs and allergies. I can't buy normal EFAs even though I sell them through American Longevity. I need to find out first if a person is an allergy type before I let them buy EFA from me.

Supplements of omega-3 and omega-6 improved the attention span and hyperactivity scores of young Australians, and was rated better than the common medication Ritalin. The study adds to a growing number of studies looking at the effect of fish oils on the behaviour and learning of kids, and reports in the UK suggest the British government may even be considering omega-3 and omega-6 food supplements in schools.

By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL Published: October 3, 2006 ROME —

Every patient in the cardiac care unit at the San Filippo Neri Hospital who survives a heart attack goes home with a prescription for purified fish oil, or omega-3 fatty acids.

“It is clearly recommended in international guidelines,” said Dr. Massimo Santini, the hospital’s chief of cardiology, who added that it would be considered tantamount to malpractice in Italy to omit the drug.

In a large number of studies, prescription fish oil has been shown to improve survival after heart attacks and to reduce fatal heart rhythms. The American College of Cardiology recently strengthened its position on the medical benefit of fish oil, although some critics say that studies have not defined the magnitude of the effect.

But in the United States, heart attack victims are not generally given omega-3 fatty acids, even as they are routinely offered more expensive and invasive treatments, like pills to lower cholesterol or implantable defibrillators. Prescription fish oil, sold under the brand name Omacor, is not even approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in heart patients.

“Most cardiologists here are not giving omega-3’s even though the data supports it — there’s a real disconnect,” said Dr. Terry Jacobson, a preventive cardiologist at Emory University in Atlanta. “They have been very slow to incorporate the therapy.”

The fact that heart patients receive such different treatments in sophisticated hospitals around the world highlights the central role that drug companies play in disseminating medical information, experts said.

Because prescription fish oil is not licensed to prevent heart disease in the United States, drug companies may not legally promote it for that purpose at conferences, in doctors’ offices, to patients or even on the Internet.

“If people paid more attention to guidelines, more people would be on the drug,” Dr. Jacobson said. “But pharmaceutical companies can’t drive this change. The fact that it’s not licensed for this has definitely kept doctors away.”

For example, on Solvay Pharmaceutical’s Web site for Omacor, www.solvay-omacor.com, the first question a user sees is, “Are you a U.S. citizen?”

If the answer is yes, the user is sent to a page where heart attacks are not mentioned. (In the United States, Omacor is licensed only to treat the small number of people with extremely high blood triglyceride levels.)

So community doctors do not learn how to use the drug. Lack of F.D.A. approval also means that insurers will not pay for treatment with Omacor. Approval from the agency for the use of the drug in heart disease is not expected soon.

A study published last month in The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that only 17 percent of family doctors were likely to prescribe fish oil to their patients, including patients who had suffered a heart attack. There was a great need, the authors concluded, to “improve awareness of this important advice.”

The fact that fish oil is also sold as a nutritional supplement has made it harder for some doctors to regard it as a powerful drug, experts said.

“Using this medicine is very popular here in Italy, I think partly because so many cardiologists in this country participated in the studies and were aware of the results,” said Dr. Maria Franzosi, a researcher at the Mario Negri Institute in Milan. “In other countries, uptake may be harder because doctors think of it as just a dietary intervention.”

In the largest study of fish oil — conducted more than a decade ago — Italian researchers from the Gissi Group (Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Infarto), gave 11,000 patients one gram of prescription fish oil a day after heart attacks. After three years, the study found that the number of deaths was reduced by 20 percent and that the number of sudden deaths by 40 percent, compared with a control group.

Later studies have continued to yield positive results, although some scientists say there are still gaps in knowledge.

This summer, a critical review of existing research in BMJ, The British Medical Journal, “cast doubt over the size of the effect of these medications” for the general population, said Dr. Roger Harrison, an author of the paper, “but still suggested that they might benefit some people as a treatment.”

Dr. Harrison said he believed that people should generally increase their intake of omega-3 acids, best done by eating more fish.

Still, he acknowledged that it was difficult to eat foods containing a gram of omega-3 acids each day. “If you ask me do I take omega-3 supplements every day, then, embarrassingly, the answer is yes,” said Dr. Harrison, a professor at Bolton Primary Care Trust of the University of Manchester in England.

“I, too, am caught up in this hectic world where I have little time to shop and prepare the healthy foods I know I should be eating,” he said.

It seems natural for Italy to be at the forefront of the fish oil trend and home to the largest clinical trials. Scientists have long noted that Mediterranean diets are salubrious for the heart and theorized that the high content of broiled and baked fish might be partly responsible.

But the landmark Gissi-Prevenzione trial of fish oil had methodological weaknesses: the patients treated with prescription fish oil pills were compared with untreated patients, rather than with patients given a dummy pill. This meant that, despite impressive results, the trial did not meet the F.D.A.’s standards for approval. Yet by 2004, regulators in almost all European countries, including Spain, France and Britain, had approved Omacor for use in heart attack patients.

Marylou Rowe, a spokeswoman for Reliant Pharmaceuticals, which owns the license for the drug in the United States, said that further trials of Omacor would be needed for it to be licensed for heart attack patients in the United States. But she refused to discuss a timetable.

The American College of Cardiology now advises patients with coronary artery disease to increase their consumption of omega-3 acids to one gram a day, but it does not specify if this should be achieved by eating fish or by taking capsules. But over-the-counter preparations of fish oil have much less rigorous quality control and are often blends of the two fish oils know to be beneficial in heart disease with other less useful fatty acids.

For that reason, Dr. Jacobson of Emory gives the prescription drug, “off label,” to cardiac patients, even though the F.D.A. has not approved it for that use. “Then I know exactly what they’re getting, and there is no mercury,” he said.

He said he tells patients who cannot afford the prescription version that they can take the over-the-counter supplements, although there is uncertainty about the dose and they probably need three to four pills a day.

In Europe, meanwhile, research on prescription fish oil, which is now thought to act by stabilizing cell membranes, has gained momentum. The Gissi Group is conducting two huge trials using fish oil in patients with abnormal heart rhythms and in patients with heart failure.

Antibiotic overuse weakens immune systems by killing off friendly intestinal flora (Lactobacillus Acidolphilus). “When good bacteria or friendly flora are destroyed, Candidias (Candida Albicans) Yeast overgrowth occurs.” Interestingly, kids with allergies have been found to be deficient in the friendly flora (Lactobacillus Acidophilus). According to this study of allergic children, every child in the study was found to be deficient in this organism.

Did you know? Over sixty percent of all pediatric doctor’s office visits are for earaches and sinus infections. Antibiotics are the usual choice of treatment in the US, which I believe is the biggest contributing factor to antibiotic overuse. However, antibiotics upset the natural balance in the colon causing an overgrowth of Yeast (Candida Albicans). In turn, the overgrowth of yeast and their toxins get absorbed into the bloodstream causing various allergic reactions. The immune system has to go into overdrive to remove the toxins and gets tired, in which the immune system is now compromised.

Repeated rounds of antibiotics, essentially antibiotic overuse, made my son worse over the course of five years instead of better, because his immune system was gradually becoming weaker. As soon as he was done with a ten day round of the antibiotics the following week he would be ill again. He became antibiotic resistant and Amoxicillin no longer worked. Antibiotics at a price of $200.00 or more with $30.00 co-pays became the norm. I was so frustrated because I did everything the doctors told me to do and he was worse not better. This is because the toxins given off by Candida Albicans overgrowth get absorbed into the blood stream causing various allergic reactions, which weakens and wears down the immune system.

SOLUTION: Break the cycle of antibiotic overuse and get the digestive tract & the immune system healthy again the natural way by restoring the good bacteria that occur naturally in the intestine. The good bacteria are called friendly Flora or Acidophilus Lactobacillus, the stuff (live & active cultures) in yogurt. Only you would have to eat buckets of yogurt to replenish a healthy supply in your colon.

By taking Lactobacillus Acidophilus in capsule or powder form you can reverse antibiotic overuse and boost the immune system. The best L. acidophilus provides 1 to 1.5 billion live cells per dose.

RESTORE FRIENDLY FLORA NATURALLY with Acidolphilus.

This in turn improves digestion.

IMPROVED DIGESTION = BETTER NUTRITION = HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Dr. Rubin states, “that virtually every state of health is affected by the GI tract…It all starts in the small and large intestines… Modern civilizations internal health is threatened by antibiotic overuse, fluoridated/chlorinated water, unsafe vaccinations, and etc.”

Note: Friendly flora is also destroyed by too much sugar/carb intake, alcohol, certain drugs, pollution, environmental toxins, bacteria laden food, food sensitivities/ allergies, food additives, and etc. Read the label, you want 1.5 billion live cells per dose.

The issue is a major problem for the US, Canada and Mexico, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) said in its annual report. Drug crops replacement schemes had not been "very effective", it added, and alternative measures were needed. The smuggling of drugs by mail also increased in 2005.

Internet pharmacies:

The abuse of prescription drugs, especially painkillers and inhalants, was identified as a major issue for the three North American countries by the Vienna-based agency. It expressed particular concern about the situation in the US, where it said numerous measures taken by the government had failed to stem the rise. It is much more complex than initially anticipated to halt the illicit cultivation of [drug] crops - Hamid Ghodse President, INCB. Users were from "all age groups, including schoolchildren", the report said, adding that nearly 8% of all Americans aged 12 and above were using illicit drugs. "The sale of controlled drugs from illegally operating internet pharmacies" was part of the problem, the report said.

INCB President Hamid Ghodse said he feared the trend could develop in other parts of the world as well.

Schemes rethink:

The report also said programmes to replace illegal drug crops with legal crops, particularly opium poppies and coca leaves grown by farmers in developing nations, had not been working well. The schemes should be rethought and extended beyond rural communities to cities "mired in the drug problem", Mr Ghodse said. However, the report acknowledged that most countries implementing replacement schemes had seen a drop in growth of illicit crops.

In Laos, the total area under opium poppy cultivation dropped by 75% from 1998 to 2004, while in Colombia, the total area under illicit cocoa bush cultivation decreased by more than 50% from 2000 to 2004. The report said Afghanistan remained the top illicit opium producer, accounting for 87% of the world's supply in 2005. The report also urged governments around the world to screen all routes of incoming and outgoing international mail. It also recommended limiting the number of entry points for parcels to control consignments more effectively. The report also highlighted the rapid increase in the use of the highly addictive synthetic drug methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth.

Essential oils an effective alternative:

Essential oils can offer an effective and yet safer and gentler alternative to antibiotics. With the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria and new and stronger viruses (H5N1), which we call “super germs,” health practitioners in many countries have turned to essential oils for treatment of their patients. While many drugs have only one, two or three active ingredients, an essential oil may have several hundred compounds, Rose damascene has over 350 identified compounds along with many others that have yet to be identified. The complexity of the natural essential oil compounds is what renders their active ingredients safe when used according to aromatheraputic guidelines and what prevents the super germs from becoming resistant.

While essential oils have proven themselves through scientific examination to be effective in infectious diseases, one of their finest uses may be found in their ability to slow or render inactive pathogens and thus prevent a full blown infectious condition. We will look first at how we can use essential oils to protect ourselves and our families.

Prevention, what steps you can take to prevent becoming infected.

Our first line of defense is to prevent contamination at point of contact with the flu or other infectious germs. According to the statement by Laurie Garrett, coming in contact with items touched by those infected with the flu such as doorknobs, shopping carts, or shaking hands will spread the flu virus. We have several ways in which to protect ourselves from picking up germs:

The first being to wash your hands frequently with disinfectant soap and water. Do not use commercial antibacterial soaps as they only kill the weak germs and thus are helping to create the strong resistant germs. To your liquid hand soap you can add 20 to 30 drops of Deep Cleanser to make it antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. Use this often when you are out in public places or in contact with anyone who has symptoms of cold or flu. Carry a smaller size of this soap in your purse or in your pocket so you can use it in public restrooms. Keep in mind this is a place where you are very likely to come in contact with germs.

In addition to the above hand cleanser, you can make an antibacterial, antiviral disinfectant spray that can be used on toilet seats, doorknobs, shopping carts and other areas where you touch items that other people have touched. To make the spray add 20 to 30 drops of Deep Cleanser to 4 oz of distilled water in a blue glass bottle with a fine sprayer. Shake well and spray onto items you want to disinfect. You may want to make up a 2 oz size to carry with you or for travel. Use 10 to 15 drops of Deep Cleanser to 2 oz of distilled water in 2 oz size blue spray bottle, shake well. It is important to start with distilled water if possible, as most waters have various contaminates.

To make a disinfectant hand lotion (unscented if possible) you can add a mixture of 10 drops Eucalyptus globulus, 10 drops Tea Tree and 5 drops Peppermint to 4 oz of hand lotion. This is a good anti-infection hand lotion and is cooling and pleasant smelling and can be used in place of the waterless antibacterial hand cleaners that are sold in stores.

Use Deep Cleanser in your washing machine and dishwasher to prevent germs from being passed between family members. To your washing machine add 10 to 12 drops when you start the water. To the dishwasher put 5 to 6 drops in with the soap before starting.

Use Eucalyptus globules as an addition to your household cleansers to disinfect garbage pails, clean floors and other household cleaning projects. For a mop bucket you can add 10 to 12 drops when adding the water. For other cleaning projects add 10 to 12 drops per gallon of water used.

To kill germs that are in the air, Lemon oil diffused has been proven to be the most effective for airborne pathogens. Diffuse into the air with a good diffuser (electric) for 15 minutes 2 or 3 times a day. You could also alternate or substitute To Be Well for Lemon if you desire. Make sure to keep your Lemon oil in a cool place away from heat. Do not leave the lid off for extended periods of time. If your Lemon oil oxidizes it will not be as effective as you expect.

During periods of colds and flu, protect yourself and your family by building your immune system. Use 1st Defense on your feet or To Be Well for children when you are getting dressed in the morning and again when you are preparing for bed. 3 to 4 drops of 1st Defense on the bottoms of each foot for adults and 1 drop (1 year olds) 2 drops (2 year olds) or 3 drops (3 years old to age 10) of To Be Well on each foot for children, the elderly or those with liver conditions.

At the first sign of throat infection or sore throat, use Dr. Penoel’s Tea Tree Lick. Place one drop of Tea Tree on your little finger lick it off, swish around to mix with saliva and swallow. Can repeat as necessary every 5 minutes up to 5 times. Most people get results by 3 to 4 times and usually the sore throat does not return. For children 3 years and younger apply to the throat and gland area topically, dilute 3 to 4 drops in a teaspoon of grapeseed oil.

What to do if you or someone you know comes down with the flu:

The first consideration with a viral infection particularly one as lethal as H5N1 is to realize the rapid rate at which it multiplies and takes over the body. The best treatment will be what I call the “French Intensive” method of applying essential oils as recommended by Dr. Penoel. That is to apply essential oils frequently and intensively until you see results. As this particular flu seems to target the lungs and cause death through a kind of pneumonia we will look at that area first.

You will need a good nubulizer type of diffuser for inhalation therapy that can deliver a medicinal dose of essential oils into the air in very close proximity to the person infected (approximately 1 to 2 feet being careful not to get in the eyes). At the first indication of the flu begin diffusing 10 drops Ravensara, 5 drops Lemon and 5 drops Lavender mixed together in the diffuser. Diffuse until oil is gone or up to 15 minutes. Repeat this application 3 to 4 times a day. Ravensara oil is specific for pneumonia, Lemon kills germs and Lavender helps to heal the lung tissue.

Alternate the above application with 15 to 20 drops of Breath of Life to a quart of water in a cold water vaporizer. Use between applications of the nubulizer diffuser. May also vaporize Breath of Life at night while the person is sleeping.

Ravensara can also be applied to the soles of the feet 3 to 6 drops on each foot for adults can reapply every hour until you see results then 4 times a day until symptoms are gone. 1 drop on children 1 year or less (Ravensara is safe at this application amount for newborns), 2 drops for 2 year olds and 3 drops for children 3 to 10 years old. For children apply 3 to 4 times a day. As I stated before, Ravensara is very effective and has an affinity for pneumonia type conditions and has been very effective with application through the feet.

Breath of Life can be diluted 6 to 10 drops in a tablespoon of grapeseed oil and used as a rub on the chest and back over the lung area and then apply a warm towel or other warmth holding fabric to the area. For children under the age of 6 use 3 to 6 drops in a tablespoon of grapeseed. Children under 3 years of age use 1 drop of Ravensara and 1 drop of Eucalyptus radiata to 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil and use in place of the Breath of Life.

1st Defense applied to the soles of the feet to boost the immune response, for adults applying 3 to 4 drops on the sole of each foot every hour during the time you are awake for up to 8 to 10 applications when you first begin to come down with the flu. May use this application directly after the Ravensara foot application.

For children use To Be Well instead of 1st Defense applied to the soles of the feet to boost immune response. 1 drop on sole of each foot ages 1year, 2 drops ages 2 years and 3 drops ages 3 to 10 years, every hour for up to 5 hours then every 4 hours if they are still awake. This application can follow directly after the application of Ravensara to the feet. Children under the age of 6 months use 1 drop Ravensara instead of To Be Well. This recommendation is slightly different than what we had for prevention as it is to be used more intensely which delivers more essential oil to the blood stream.

Eucalyptus radiata can be added to water and used as a sponge bath to help control fever. You can add 10 to 12 drops of Eucalyptus radiata to a quart jar of room temperature to slightly cool but not cold distilled water, shake it up well and pour into a bowl. Soak a wash cloth and wipe down the body of the person with the fever to reduce their temperature. The content of 1.8 cineole will help the body not to exceed a safe temperature. Make sure to monitor the person as Eucalyptus can cool a person very quickly and make them chill.

If the patient is in serious condition or is not responding quickly enough they may need to take essential oils internally. For adults you can make up capsules of essential oils diluted in olive oil and for children you can dilute the essential oil and then add it to applesauce. The following essential oils are on the GRAS list as generally regarded as safe for consumption. Still keep in mind that phenols found in essential oils can irritate mucus membranes. Do not swallow these oils without containing them inside a capsule to protect the tissue of the esophagus.

For adults who do not have a history of liver problems (phenols are hard on the liver), you may take the large 00 gelatin capsules sold at health food stores, remove the top and fill the large bottom section ¾ full of olive oil. Next add 1 drop of Thyme ct. thymol, 1 drop of cinnamon, and 1 drop of clove. Replace the cap and take 1 to 2 capsules 3 times a day. If you do not experience stomach irritation you can increase your drops to 2 of each of the recommended essential oils. If you experience stomach irritation, dilute your essential oils (1 drop of each) into 1 teaspoon of olive oil and then fill your capsules with the more diluted oil. Do not make up more capsules than you can use in 2 to 3 days as they may deteriorate or dissolve.

For children 3 years and older you may mix 1 drop of Tea Tree, 1 drop of Ravensara and 1 drop of Eucalyptus radiata into 1 teaspoon of olive oil. From this diluted mixture you can add 1 drop of oil mix to a tablespoon of applesauce and give to the child 3 times a day. Children, under age 3, do not give them essential oils internally but use on the feet. The children’s oils are non-toxic as recommended.

Along with the above protocol, you may need to address depression and anxiety caused when people experience severe traumatic situations and loss. To help sleep and physical relaxation you can apply To Be At Peace to a tissue and slip inside the pillow case of the person when the are in bed. It can also be diffused when you are not diffusing something else.

Geranium is a good balancing and anti-depressive essential oil and could also be diffused or applied to a tissue. The same with Lavender, which is known to be a natural relaxer.

To conclude: There are a couple of more recommendations I have for combating the flu. First and foremost, you should eliminate fast foods, sugar, and highly processed foods from your diet as they deplete the immune system and the body. Secondly, you should be supplementing your diet with all the essential 90 nutrients that your body requires to function properly. There are also two other products that I would recommend and that is the Super KB for its ability to help regulate the build up of water in the body, and the Immu-911, which can help to build the function of the immune system.

Disclaimer: This material is for educational purposes only to make people aware of the coming threat of the Avian Flu, and other flu virus’. It does not constitute a medical recommendation. It you believe you are sick or about to become sick you should consult a profession health care provider. Preferably one who is familiar with nutrition and aromatherapy.

If the dosage is one of something, please don't take two because 'it must be twice as good'. This simply isn't true!

Pay attention to the ingredients and their amounts on everything you take. You don't want to overdose on Vit. A or manganese. Vit. A gross overdose has been known to cause brain tumors. Manganese overdose could contribute to Parkinson's. Too much magnesium will give you diarrhea, for instance. So don't take another product as well if you are getting enough of something in one product. Pay attention! Consult "How much you need". KNOW your nutrients!

If you feel awful, it might be because you are taking TOO MUCH of everything rather than too little! Back off everything and start again, one at a time, slowly and listen to the results your body gives!

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY is the most important wisdom of all! It is smarter than you are and it tells you when you need something or when it has too much. Pay attention to what it is telling you when it craves this or rejects that. You would be as amazed as I am when you compare what it craves this week with the symptom of the deficiency you are suffering this week! It is uncannily accurate when you aren't!

Everyone should start with half the dosage on the bottle and see if that helps before increasing to the stated dose (meant for a 240 lb. man!).

LESS IS BETTER than 'more' for your body. America has a real mental problem with that. Your body takes a hint from very little and gets to work immediately. Just give it a chance. Don't be one of the many who are killing themselves simply from gross EXCESS!

For instance, don't ask yourself "Can I eat more on a second helping?" Instead ask half way through "Is this enough to sustain me for now? Until the next meal?" You will be surprised the first time you try this attitude. And your body will thank you! A meal is not a contest.

The same concept is true with our products. If you take something like Tangy Tangerine today, with all the requirements of all supplements (except calcium), then don't also take an energy drink like Rebound or EQ Factor or Sports Tech that has the same things in it (just about). One or the other! Or add the energy drink when needed, AFTER you have done something to deplete what you have taken, like mowing the grass or playing a basketball game USE COMMON SENSE!

And understand that YOUNGEVITY is a company that has combined many companies, so it has much duplication of types of products. Choose one! For instance, don't take Glucogel, Joint Plus and Flex Flow on the same day. Those are the same joint category in 3 different companies that merged. Flex Flow is SupraLife, Joint Plus is Ancient Legacy, and Glucogel is either Ultimate (if caps) or Majestic Earth (if liquid). You only need one... Consult "Categories" and choose one (or 2 if theraputic amount required). But KNOW what is required and KNOW what you are taking!

So PLEASE pay attention, and PLEASE use COMMON SENSE! That's the only way to good health.

Advised with love and caring, Kingmaker

A combination of Omega-3 fatty acids and the flavonoid quercitrin (quercetin) may work to reduce inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids have previously been linked to a reduction in markers of inflammation, particularly in relation to Cardiovascular Disease.

For gut health however some studies have reported that omega-3 supplementation may not be beneficial since this can impair the colonic antioxidant system. This could be remedied, say researchers behind the new study, by including an antioxidant compound, such as the flavonoid quercitrin along with the omega-3s.

The new study is published online in the Journal "Clinical Nutrition" (doi: 10.1016/j.clnu. 2005.12.009). Adding quercitrin to omega-3s may have an added advantage of improving stability of the oils which are susceptible to degradation from oxygen, heat and light.

Quercitrin can be found in Ancient Legacy's Vita Food tablets, SupraLife's Cell Shield and Youngevity's Anti-Aging Daily Premium Pak. However studies indicate that other antioxidants may have the same effect. Antioxidants can be found in most Youngevity products.

Shorter courses of antibiotics can be used to treat pneumonia Doctors can safely treat community acquired pneumonia with fewer antibiotics, say Dutch researchers. Current guidance recommends antibiotic treatment for seven to 10 days but little evidence supports this strategy. A study published in the British Medical Journal found that three days of antibiotic treatment were just as good as an eight-day course.

Experts said shorter drug courses may be effective in other infections and would help fight antibiotic resistance. Community acquired pneumonia is one of the most important reasons for the prescribing of antibiotics in hospitals, and reducing treatment duration could result in a big drop in use of the drugs.

"For a lot of antibiotics we don't really know what the optimum treatment is" Dr John Paul, consultant microbiologist. Researchers compared the effectiveness of discontinuing treatment with amoxicillin after three da
