TLC's Health Corner (with hopeful special guest Walsh)

Hi all,

I'm a big proponent of health. So, I will feature links to articles which show how natural, organic plants and food can prevent and even treat poor health.

First up is news regarding tests on a super-Vitamin-C & mineral supplement:

The in-vitro study shows that healthy cells are largely unaffected while cancerous cells finally commit suicide (which is the origin of cancer, cells which didn't submit to or receive the command to die from the body, then lives on to multiply other abnormal cells endlessly until they disrupt normal healthy function of neighboring organs).

Bottom line is that how you treat your body and what you put in it DIRECTLY affects the function and longevity therein. I have previously listed products which I take and urged others to use them. However, even if you don't want to buy supplements, then please eat a balance of non-GMO, organic fruits and veggies along with pink/red-fish (red-snapper/salmon/tuna) which are rich in omega-3 fats & astaxanthin while virtually elminating red meat (steak/pork) and cutting poultry down to no more than a few times a week.

If you do these basic things you will greatly improve your health. I will continue to feature great articles and research results.

And remember, the pharmaceutical industry kills HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS and injures millions every year while the health supplement industry has a ZERO body count. Despite that, the phara lobby continues to buy politicians who attempt to slap a Federal stranglehold on nutritional supplements (because they directly compete for your health dollars against big pharma). I side with improving health through prevention. Professional medicine has it's place when a true CURE is synthesized in a lab which cannot be duplicated in nature. I'm not a hater of medicine, but I understand a great deal of medicine is unnecessary if you have taken care of your body and have conducted a relatively healthy and sanitary lifestyle.

On the bright side, their tiny suicide notes are just adorable.

“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

Except pediatricians with organic farming interests.

The opinions of scientists and nutritionist matter on the subject, not pediatricians.

How many times are they going to write the same misleading article?

when it comes to nutritional value, organics are virtually indistinguishable from conventionally produced foods.

How about the amount of bug poison on the skin? I don't go out of my way to buy all organic, but i sure do with apples, pears and other things I want to eat the skin of.Also, why are they so damn shiny? Better to eat a dull skinned, tasty apple, without the bug spray and wax.

If you do purchase non-organic apples, you may want to ask your grocer about the kind of wax used to protect the apple's surface during storage or shipping. Carnauba wax (from the carnauba palm tree), beeswax, and shellac (from the lac beetle) are preferable to petroleum-based waxes, which contain solvent residues or wood resins.

I asked the 18 year old what type of wax was used to protect the apple's surface and he raised the corner of his lip at me.

I assume you then introduced his face to the back of your hand.
