REM Sleep may change gene expression: 

help brain development in babies

more then previously thought.

My Story:

I was lucky my first born sleep like a rock from the very first day I brought her home she sleep 6 hours straight at night. Never less, unless she was ill. 

I knew the sleep pattern was good for her growing body and mind. I just didn't know how good.


Increased REM sleep for babies may be key for brain and body development:

Babies sleep, baby birds, baby humans, they all sleep.  Human and birds are very similar in sleep patterns. A new study (1) took a look at how much and what effect sleep patterns had on owlets. The stimulating new information showed that REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement Sleep) which has the similar activity in the brain as if the person was awake and yet fast asleep. Infant humans spend about 50% of their sleep in REM sleep while adults only spend about 25% in REM Sleep. 

The researchers looked into a connection with REM and other body functions finding there was a connection between a gene responsible for producing dark feathers (which is also controls production in thyroid and insulin hormones) and the amount of REM sleep. One of the researcher suggested that there was a difference in brain development.


Final words:


Sleep is something every parent wants for their baby. Now it seems like it is much more important then previously thought possibly affecting the brain development and body. It seems in this modern society I see babies and kids of all ages out and about at all hours of the day or night. 40 years ago it seems in the US it was a rare event to see kids out past 10 pm. The reality is children are developing every minute of their childhood. 

If a child isn't getting enough REM sleep will this affect them for the rest of their life. At this point we may not have direct proof, but it may not be a far leap to say it may have a large negative effect on the a child into adulthood.

The question I have does the REM sleep have a large positive effect on adults? Sleep seems to avoid many in modern society.  The best solution is to keep sleep as a goal to have a chance to obtain the REM state.

One of the most interesting side effects for me was when I became healthier I seem to sleep better over all.

One less is wining: Teens avoiding HPV by 56% over the last 7 years The war is not over yet for our boys and girls. ~ Cynthia G. Creel 8-3-2013

One less is wining: 

Teens avoiding HPV by 56% over the last 7 years

 The war is not over yet for our boys and girls.

~ Cynthia G. Creel

8-3-2013

My story:

As I walked in to the high school room to help out I looked around and odds are part of teens in this class is having sex already. Which ones? They knew who they were. Would they talk to me, most likely or maybe not any adult. Odds would say some could be infected by the human Papilomavirus (HPV) 

This is a war to be waged  against  the HPV which may cause cervical cancer taking the live of women around the world. 

HPV vaccine:

According to the CDC news room (1) A new study in the June isue of The Journal of Infectious Disease showed a decrease by 56%  in female teenagers 14 - 19 years old of age infected by HPV since the vaccine was first out in 2006. Around 79 million Americans, most young between late teens to early twenties are currently infected by HPV with about 17 million new cases each year. With 19,000 cancers caused by HPV with cervical cancer most often.  Men are also dealing with around 8,000 cancers with oropharyngeal (throat) cancers caused the most common by HPV in the United States. 

 

The press release quoted CDC Director Tom Frieden M.D., M.P.H dsuomh., “Unfortunately only one third of girls aged 13-17 have been fully vaccinated with HPV vaccine.  Countries such as Rwanda have vaccinated more than 80 percent of their teen girls. Our low vaccination rates represent 50,000 preventable tragedies – 50,000 girls alive today will develop cervical cancer over their lifetime that would have been prevented if we reach 80 percent vaccination rates.  For every year we delay in doing so, another 4,400 girls will develop cervical cancer in their lifetimes.”

Usually vaccination start at age 11-12 for both males and females. How ever only about half the girls in the U.S. Routine vaccination at age 11-12 for both boys and girls is recommended, but according to recent national immunization surveys, only about half of all girls in the U.S.—and far fewer boys—received the first dose of HPV vaccine. A series of three shots is recommended over six months.  HPV vaccination is also recommended for older teens and young adults who were not vaccinated when younger.

Vaccine can start at age 11: 

There is a choice for every child and their parent for the child to get vaccinated. Some parents are against vaccines. There is always risk to every act we take. The question I asked which was worse some protection or no protect with a possible death sentence? Each of us will have to decide for ourselves which is the best choice. 

It’s not about sex:

This health crises for our young is not about sex. It’s about protecting and saving lives. Some teens and young adults will have sex, some won’t if no one has the HPV no one can pass it on to another. As a parent it wasn’t about giving permission for sex is was just about protecting from warts that can cause cancer. The fewer people who have been infected the less likely a person will be infected.

Final words:

Protect enough of the population around the world and potentially a virus can be eliminated altogether. Eliminating one more cause of cancer helps save lives and avoid the cost, pain and devastation it may cause in the long run. This is not a female or male challenge, this is everyone’s problem to help solve. Together we can solve this challenge, prevent pain and suffering saving lives and increasing the productivity of society with one less challenge to think about and solve.

AMA vote for energy drinks band for under 18: Is too much caffeine putting our adolescents at risk for heat problems? 20,000 emergency room visits ~ Cynthia G. Creel 8-1-2013

AMA vote for energy drinks band for under 18:

Is too much caffeine putting  our adolescents 

at risk for heat problems? 

20,000 emergency room visits
~ Cynthia G. Creel

8-1-2013

My Story:

My friends 16 year old daughter was lying on the ground unable to get up, her heart was racing. She had not done any exercise, she had drank an energy drink. This all led to a trip to the doctor’s to find out she had reacted to something in the energy drink. Could it have been the quick absorption of  caffeine? 

I do know my friend was scared that she would loose her daughter, my friend’s daughter felt like she was going to die and I thought this shouldn’t be happening to a young person not even into  her 20’s yet. 

It seems teens and adults are looking for something to pep them up and getting more then they bargain  for, 



Is it time to ban energy drinks to the underage for adolescents?


American Medical Association’s (1) is for a band  on energy Drink for adolescents:

“Stimulant drinks have surged in popularity in recent years, especially among high school and college students, and health advocates are concerned about the use of these drinks among adolescents due to excessive amounts of caffeine. The FDA is continuing to investigate reports of illness, injury or death of people who drank products marketed as “energy drinks” or “energy shots.” The AMA today adopted policy supporting a ban of the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18.
“Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people, including heart problems, and banning companies from marketing these products to adolescents is a common sense action that we can take to protect the health of American kids,” said AMA board member Alexander Ding, MD.”


New survey says emergency room visits from reactions  energy drinks has doubles from 2007:

The Daily Mail (2) repots on a government survey  show a possible connection between emergency room visits and drinking an energy drink doubled in the last 4 years to a whooping 20,000 visits.  

Energy drink sales are up by 17 percent with the energy drink rage continuing in popularity. In 2011 over 40% of the patients also consumed  an energy drink in addiction to alcohol or drugs such as Adderall or Ritalin.  The article also quotes  Howard Mell, an emergency physician in the suburbs of Cleveland, who serves as a spokesman for the American College of Emergency Physicians saying “'A lot of people don't realize the strength of these things. I had someone come in recently who had drunk three energy drinks in an hour, which is the equivalent of 15 cups of coffee,”


Deaths reported  from enery drink:

 According to WebMD (3) the FDA has 5 reports of death from the possible consumptions of energy drink. 

Such as a 14 year old girl from Maryland, USA collapses after 14 ounce Monster Energy drink in 2 days. The report show a possible connection but doesn’t show proof that it is. Just a possible connection  sighting a caffeine poisoning as a factor. The FDA will consider all sources of caffeine before deterring cause of death.  With the drink also contain other stimulants like taurine and guarana. 

The girls parents filed a lawsuit against Monster Energy  noting that Monster Energy doesn’t list the how many mg. of caffeine there is in one drink. Most likely the girl consumed two cans of energy drink with a possible 240 mg of caffeine exceeding the recommended portion for teen and child doses of  100 mg of caffeine per day. Adults should have less then 400 mg day. 



Final words:

There are many limits for adolescents developing bodies and brains like consuming alcohol, drugs, driving, signing a contract. Understanding the adolescent is still developing judgment, experience and knowledge made them more likely  to  consuming too much caffeine in an energy drink with lower body weight that may increase the  effect. 

Just like a pool barrier helps prevent children from drowning, a ban for the under 18 group on direct sales of energy drinks would help deter accesses to a possibly  harmful drink. However, educating how dangers and easily it is to over dose from  too much caffeine and possibly other elements could be an immense help to protecting  the young.  


If children are being negatively affected by the energy drinks there are most likely a negatively affecting adults. There are many reasons we become tired, lacking a super shot of  caffeine may not be the case.

Is it really about being good guys saving us from traditions cigarettes or profit? Electronic cigarettes sales expected to be $1 billion for 2013. Are E-cigarettes safer than or safe? ~ Cynthia G. Creel

Is it really about being good guys saving us from traditions cigarettes or profit?

Electronic cigarettes sales expected to be 

$1 billion for 2013.

Are E-cigarettes safer than or safe?

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

7-24-2013

My Story:

I was at my friends house and one of the guests took out an electronic cigarette. I watched and noticed a vapor escaping his nostrils. At that moment I was only curious. What was this? I asked and was told it was a replacement for cigarettes. There was no talk about quitting the new form of cigarette, just stopping smoking and how much better this was for the smoker. The next thought was how is this so different for the guest to being around it?

Part of the answer was clear when another guest and I talked about how sensitive she was to the vapor. The vapor may be smokeless and yet it could mean invisible trouble for all those near the vapor that escapes into the air  


Cigarettes ads banned in US since 1971:

I wasn’t old enough to stay up and see the last traditional cigarette (combustible) ad run. I was in bed way before 11:50 p.m. during The Johnny Carson Show aired on January 1, 1971 as documented by history.com (1) . I remember quite a few ads and if my parents hadn’t been telling me of the negative consequences from smoking I may have pick up a very bad habit. Most of the people we knew smoked. I could have easily started and yet never had the desire too. Maybe because most people told me they wish they hadn’t started. 

Are people trading really bad for just plain bad?, combustible cigarettes for electronic cigarettes:

CBS news (2) reports on the new growing market for electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. The industry is growing quickly with sales in the Untied States in 2011 of  300 million, 2012  of 600 million and is expected to rise to 1 billion in 2013. There is a lot of profit involved with large amounts of sales most likely. There is a lot of room to grow with traditional cigarette sales reaching sales in 2013 of 80 billion. 

For the first time since 1971 cigarettes advertising in now returning to television in the form of an electronic cigarette made by NJOY aired by a cable networks. NJOY CEO Craig Weiss is hoping to “obsolete cigarettes” and sell e-cigarette with ads playing in prime time television. NJOY is the best selling with the vapor being inhaled mimicking smoking. 

Weiss  says e cigarettes are the “good guys” taking over the market eliminating the big bad tobacco industries cigarettes.  There is a question if the e cigarette is safe. Some experts remain unconvinced with patients thinking this new form of cigarettes is “non toxic”.  

The CBS report says:

“The Food and Drug Administration does not currently regulate e-cigarettes, therefore manufactures are not mandated to disclose the ingredients.”

The FDA  also stated to CBS news, "Further research is needed to assess the potential public health benefits and risks of electronic cigarettes and other novel tobacco products."

List of ingredients for many e-cigarettes are: Nictone, water, artificial flavoring, glycerol, and propylene glycol, the ingredient that creates the exhaled imitation smoke.

Weiss tells CBS news (1) "I've got a three-year-old and a six-year-old. And, I want to grow up in a world where they can ask me one day, 'So, wait a second, dad. I don't understand. You used to little this thing on fire and then you put it in your mouth? I mean, how did that even work?'" 

Weiss did not state that he would prefer his children not to smoke at all, traditions cigarettes as well as e-cigarettes only that he would prefer if giving his kids the choice between traditional cigarettes and e cigarettes, the e-cigarettes would be preferable.  The jury may still be out on which is worse. However Weiess has a company to run and e-cigarettes to market. 




American Lung Association’s fight against e-cigarettes to take them off the market:


In 2009 the American Lung Association made a press release (3)  to try to encourage taking the e cigarettes off the market. Stating 

“FDA officials have been quoted numerous times in many publications during the past few weeks saying that e-cigarettes are “new drugs,” which require prior approval from the FDA before they are allowed to be sold. Without this approval, e-cigarettes are illegal to market or sell. Despite these statements, no action has been taken to remove e-cigarettes from the market.”

With e-cigarettes being marketed towards kids thought the internet with fruit flavors. The press release continues and states the FDA (2009) currently didn’t have jurisdiction over tobacco products but has jurisdiction over products containing e-cigarettes.  


CBS news (2) reports Erika Sward, of the American Lung Association stating:


"We are very concerned that there is literally no federal oversight of these products. We do not know what's in them. We do not know how they are being used," Sward explained.
"I would hope that e-cigarettes would ultimately not have the same god awful impact that regular tobacco products have had, but the jury is still out," she added.




United Kingdom classifying e-cigarettes as “medicines” Are regulations needed?:  

The Guardian (5) reports in the United Kingdom e-cigarettes are to be clarified as “medicines” which would give more control over the sales of the e- cigarettes. the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has said doctors can prescribe to smokers to cut down or quit. In the UK there are approximately 1.3 million people that use cigarettes. Nicotine, as a vapor, is still absorbed into the body with the amount of nicotine varying from batch to batch . MHRA will over see the product so  there is a consistency. E-cigarettes already sold would not be subject to the same regulations and to help prevent marketing to non-smokers and children. 

It seems the UK has the right idea to help stabilize the product and  who uses the product to help those who need it and limit exposure to others. . 


Nicotine can be used as a pesticide and may be addictive.:

The Science Daily (6) repots that one use for nicotine is used as a pesticide. Tobacco has been used on a small scale as a natural organic pesticide over the hundreds of years. There is a new possibility nicotine can be processed using 900 degrees Fahrenheit  to produce an unrefined bio-oil killing fungus and four bacteria, and the Colorado potato beetle. Once the nicotine is separated form the bio-oil, the bio oil is still affective against some pests. Nicotine may be more effective than other peptides 

Besides insects who else might be effected by nicotine being absorbed into the body? If nicotine can kill insects and such will it have the same effect on us. Studies (7) have shown nicotine to be addictive with one study stating “The number of cigarettes smoked per day and the duration of smoking are positively related to the percentage with ”diagnosis of nicotine dependence.”  

Final words:

There is no doubt that most people who smoke are addicted to the ciggarets   Mamy are stuggling to escape. The e-cigarette may be one of the best option if there is a short term trade until a person is able to quit smoking regular cigarettes and   e-cigarettes. Part of what I see as an ongoing problem the idea that the e-cigarettes are “non toxic” or safe for consumption. It may take years before we know the facts how harmful  e-cigarettes  may be. In the mean time the use of fruity flavored e-cigarettes may entice children and other non smokers to try e-cigarettes.. Would they become addicted to nicotine?  Or would a smoker trying to quit regular cigarettes not worry about being on e cigarettes and stay on them for a lifetime not thinking there is any risk at all even if in the future there is direct evidence that e-cigarettes  it puts a person at higher risk of health issues. 

More studies need to be done to find out the long term effects of e cigarettes. I would hope no one would intend to use e cigarettes continually for life or extended periods of time and to only use it as a short term stop gap between smoking and becoming a non smoker. . Nicotine could be harmful and to think other wise may be a deadly mistake for some, not only for the user, but possible for those around exposed to second or third hand vapor. However it may turn out to be a good option for the short run. Only time will tell us if there are major negative effects from short term or long term use of e cigarettes. 

Bravo for any one who as been able to quite smoking and good luck to anyone who wants to quit. A difficult battle to win, but not impossible.

How many millions of people will die

 if the bees all die?
Save the bees save ourselves!

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

7-20-2013

My Story:

I saw 4 bees today in the garden that was 4 times as many than yesterday. I know there can be more, but in comparison from this year to last it is 90% less. I have unpolluted flowers and beans. One farm does not demonstrate a serious problem, however the bee keepers know and see the deaths of their bees first hand. Now you see the bees flying around and now they are lifeless and there is a colony collapse. For now my farm is still producing today, but what about tomorrow?

38 millions of bees die from just one farm:

As reported by The Star (1) Ontario Beekeeper, David Schuit is blaming seed that produce a  pesticides themselves and or the use of neonicotinoid pesticides as a cause of almost 40 million bees dieing from the 600 hives that create his business of organic honey. Schuit also talks about the corn that produces a protein to kill insects, just one seed could kill an entire hive. One bee produces one tenth of a teaspoon of honey every 6 weeks. 

Bees dying off each year 12 million in 2011 and 50,000 in a parking lot 2013:

 The Daily Mail (1) reported in 2011 in Florida, United States that 12 million bees from 800 hives in Brevard County, on central Florida’s Atlantic Coast died.  Also from a previous article I wrote (3) suspected use of neonicotinoid pesticides killed over 50,000 bees in the parking lot of a local business in Oregon. 

Bees dead today, people tomorrow?

With massive amounts of bees loosing there lives  from multiple causes may mean more then no honey for us today. The reality that may be created is the labor intensive method of hand pollination where a person takes a small brush and does what the bees do, goes from flower to flower spreading pollen creating our fruits, vegetables, nuts  and grains. The bees give us succulent honey and pollinate for free. There couldn’t be a better system. Just like a colony collapse where there are not enough bees performing all the jobs necessary to keep a hive viable will this happen to humans?

Some bees have died and in the future some people may die or millions could die if there is not enough food to go around. Just like the major disasters it take much to keep people alive and well, if we loose our bee’s it will be a disasters.  In most developed countries there is food enough for all. In third world countries there seems to never be enough food. The question I have if we don’t change our ways quickly will the world become equally needy for food and only some will survive?

Some ideas to solve:

Stop using pesticides or herbicides. On my farm I grow food without pesticides or herbicides, yes much more labor intensive and so much more delicious. Grow your own food and plant flowers for bees to collect  clean pollen safely.  Front yard, back yard, roof top all great places to grow. 

Final words:

May people I talk to know the bees are in trouble, it is some vague problem for someone else. After all I can still buy honey at my local store here in the United States. How may bees will have to die, 1 billion? 2 Billion? 3 Billion? For us to change enough to keep the balance in the world. The bees pollinate and produce honey for us to enjoy. 

 The bees dying at the hands of farmers spraying or using products that kill any insect seems self defecting. Keep the crops pest free, kill the bees so expensive hand pollinations is required and inadequate inferior food is created. 

Farmers and people I chat with agree as long as they don’t have to change. Everything we do to kill has a side affect. It is time to take action. To do what can be done to help the bees survive. After all once the bee is gone there is no way to create honey and  how would hand pollinating crops work? Not very well I believe. .  

The bees should be our heroes we roll out the red carpet for not kill them by the millions. Every time a purchase is made of a product it will help the bees or hurt the bees. Keep it in mind when you buy a product it is more then just something you pick up, it represents much. It came from some where, was produced some how, created, transported and placed on a shelf or shipped directly to you. 

Vote with your money:

Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better life for all to remember over their entire lifetime  Together we can protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is second rate.

Are Doctor’s turning into bullies? Unhealthy Doctors, Unhealthy healing for the patients EveryBODY looses. ~ Cynthia G. Creel 7-18-2013

Are Doctor’s turning into bullies?

Unhealthy Doctors, 

Unhealthy healing for the patients

EveryBODY looses. 

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

7-18-2013

Which is better for the patient live healthy tooth or dead  tooth just sitting in the mouth?:

An  unhealthy tooth  saved by reversing the infection and filling the tooth making it strong and healthy again (crowning it if necessary) or “killing the tooth” performing a root canal and applying crown over the now gutted tooth with a hollow inside, warm, dark and damp?


Some might say what is the difference. It comes down to a tooth with a “hollow” spot where living tissue (pulp) was present vs. a fully alive tooth with the pulp intact? Dark warm places are a wonderful place for bacteria to grow and create havoc in the body, leaving a person at a possible higher risk over a life time. It is like having a war within a large hole in the defense for the “enemy” (bacteria)  to attack.

Today the only difference is the knowledge of how to turn the infection around. The medical care professional may gravitate to a root canal and may say it is the only option. In reality it may mean it is only easier for the medical care professional, not the best for the patient. 

The only thing between you and a root canal or any other procedure that they want to cut or destroy tissue is your questions and knowledge level. There is a strong possibility for an infected tooth that there is a way to heal the infection and then move forward. 

In the near future there is likely to be new procedure that can work with living tissue rather then dead tissue. As I wrote about in a previous article (1)  about teeth and the newest ideas to heal. It is quickly becoming a reality that we may be able to regeneration a tooth and would most likely have no need for fillings, root canals or tooth extractions. Using the persons own DNA from the pulp of the tooth ( the living part) all of this has already been created in a lab.  


Options don’t always cost more in money, yes in time:

It is not the best for everyone when our professionals lack the ability to take care of their patients with the best option for the best out come available. It is not always about lot of money difference. It is sometimes about time and if something doesn’t work in the long run it may cost a little more. If there is no progress in healing the option of killing or extracting can be used. So the cost would be the time and the money to heal. 


A the mercy of the doctor’s ability and desire to help:

The option a patient is given may rely only on the doctor or medical professional’s abilities to understand, remember and to offer the best choices available. If a medical care professional is unable to be flexible and grasp new ideas will this inability create a bully who speaks eloquently or abruptly? 

If the patient was young and had another 80 + years to live or even if they are older are limited options give to create only one answer acceptable outcome?


Doctor’s have an excellent education in surgery, prescription drugs, most of the time solving symptoms with an occasionally helping the body to reverse and regenerate to the healthiness the patient deserves. 


If a doctor can’t remember new information, the doctor can’t use the information. 

Doctor’s solve medical issues best when they are able to remember coming up with the best option or several options that may solve the problem. If most of the people in a population are unhealthy odds are their medical professionals are in the same boat.  An unhealthy doctor becomes “lazy” in though just like anyone else.  The memory is key to helping to analyze and understand what is best way to get the best results for this patient. Even if the doctor is exposed to new ways and ideas if the doctor can not remember the information is as if it was never told. 


Doctor’s favorite way or no way:

Doctors get stuck in their way of  thinking, may times using  only what they favor in a medical procedure or what they are most familiar with unaware or maybe even not understanding a different way of solving a medical issue. New ways become scary to anyone. If there is not a willingness to learn new ways then what is most familiar is the most likely way that is chosen. Most likely when any one is unhealthy they are not as willing to learn new ways including medical care professionals. 

Best for the patient or best for the doctor?

We need well trained healthy doctors and medical professionals. There are times there is no other answer and having a physical annual gives an insight that can not be achieved without a well trained professional plus lab work. If the medical industry only trains their doctors to solve the symptoms that leaves everyone at risk for inferior treatments and solutions. 

The idea that there is no pain now so I am ok in long run creates more pain, more prescription drugs to be prescribed,  and more likelihood of an early death. Instead of stronger, healthier people able to react quickly, solve problems quickly choosing the best option of many and less need to see a medical care professional. 

If there is a quick way to do things that may become the only option for a patient offered by the medical care professional. An option not being the best option just the option offered that solves the surface problem. 


Bully, unhealthy doctors  can’t listen, get angry and  use a big stick to control or with holding services leaving the patient with no real answers or help:


It is always a great idea to ask the medical care professional if there is another alternative. Even if the medical care professional doesn’t handle that procedure, it gives the patient new options to look for some one else or continue on what is being offered. It also may tells the patient if the doctor is healthy enough to have a memories and be able to comprehend and give the very best advice possible. 

The unhealthy doctor, may become a bully, unable to listen, understand and hold their temper. Holding their power of knowledge and license over the patient. I have seen this over reaction  in a very nice way and a very angry way. The doctor or medical care professional may not even realize they are acting inappropriately. This thought does not make it ok except in the mind of the medical care giver. 

It only gets worse when the doctor knows the patient has limited options. The absolute power may blind any sense of logic or responsibility to do the best for the patient. If a patient has recourse they have options. If a patient has no resources and is bound to the insurance companies choice the patient may be suck with a bully doctor unless they are healthy enough to think of options. 


Do patients want options?:

It may not be all the medical care professions doing that may options may be missed. People who are ill may times may not be able to make a choice if given one or be able to think clearly enough at the time to ask the best questions to gain the best results. 

No one thinks as well when sick or in pain.

Some solutions:

Ask questions and get second options when possible. Don't say yes until you do your own research. If time is sensitive realize there may be no other options to work with. Do your research before you go to the doctor's (doctor's are human and can have off days or become unhealthy over time). We don't get to know our doctor's blood pressure, cholesterol  blood sugars or if they have been diagnosed with diabetes  We don't know our doctor's medical history so we can only judge them by what we see and hear.  The truth may be in the old saying, "Doctor's make terrible patients" if they make terrible patient do they do what is necessary to become healed and healthy?

The more proactive the more likely there is some protection from others mistakes and missed information to help you. 

Final Words:

When anyone is in pain, a lot or a little, they may become victims of another’s ability to understand and solve the problem that could affect the patient for a life time. The patient may be willing to settle for less and just not care to get rid of the pain. 

There are time that there may be only one answer. In my experience because I study many new options that are available I may have an answer that was not thought of by the medical care professional. I still need this professionals help and find it sad I have to educate have the best option available to me. 

The normal response I receive  is a conversation on finding out what the best options are and what is the best solution to the problem. There has been 2 times I have talked to a medical care professional I knew had their own health issues. Both times they became angry and started to yell at me. Most unprofessional behavior mostly a product of their own health issues at the time. Both times with further conversation they clamed down and listened. One understood and agreed with what I was saying and the other, well only time will tell if that medical care profession understands. 

I was presented with a the same choices as everyone else what are may options? Leave, stay or try to find common ground. I am like anyone else, when I need a doctor’s care I am trapped by my ability and the medical care professionals abilities of communications, what insurance will pay for and my own resources to find or pay for other options. 

The more we demand for better care the better our care will become. The normal and standards are set by what we are willing to accept. If we demand better options they will most likely over time become the norm. 

If a tooth is healthy all that may be required are periodic cleanings. If a tooth is unhealthy then there are more dramatic choices that are to be made. This goes for any part of the body when it is unhealthy.  The best for the patient may give way to the best for the medical care professional with the side effect of a solution that works and yet isn‘t the best for the patient. Where there is health there is little need for medical care professionals except to help make sure we are on track. 



Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better life for all to remember over their entire lifetime  Together we can protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is second rate.

"Feel fine + lab work fine = Real Fine!" ~ Cynthia G. Creel 7-15-2013

"Feel fine + Lab work fine = Real Fine!"

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

7-15-2013

My Story:

It was a common occurrence at my home. How are you doing? "I am fine." It took me years to figure out that fine could mean any thing, but mostly it meant I feel fine. The interesting part about fine is you can have louse numbers like blood pressure 155 over 80 and still feel fine. So feeling fine may be accurate or feeling fine may mean there is no comprehension of how bad a person is truly.

So know you numbers from blood tests to blood pressure to see if your fine matches up with the fine your body is looking for. 

Final words:

Lab work doesn't lie, the numbers are what they are no matter if you get tested or not. Don't let a number keep you from feeling "fine fine" (lab work fine plus feeling fine). Life is too short to waste time just feeling sub fine. 

 Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in.

"Nature gives us what we need" ~ Cynthia G. Creel 7-14-2013

"Nature gives us what we need"

~ Cynthia G. Creel

7-14-2013

My Story:

Ankle deep in water, I stood along side my plants and irrigated. This is my thinking time, a time to think of what I need, what the farm or garden needs. It is a time to be under the warm sun surrounded by life.

When I give the garden what it needs it gives me what I want and so that is the way nature works. Not caring, but always providing.

The one thing I realize today is that we are too far away from nature and a vacation to the mountains is only enough to help some. 

Help feed the world, help feed yourself, plant a garden today. Roof top, patio, front yard, back yard or where ever it will fit. Life is so very different and amazing when you grow what you eat. 

 Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better life for all to remember over their entire lifetime  Together we can protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is second rate.

bring 

West Nile, Dengue Fever, Malaria

Even winter may not stop it. 

~ Cynthia G. Creel

7-13-2013

Wikipedia gives a great description of one of 

the newest flying "black death" to suck blood and 

leave  behind like West Nile,Dengue Fever, Malaria and

 more.


Aedes albopictus

The Tiger mosquito or forest day mosquito, Aedes albopictus,

 from the mosquito family, is characterized by its black and 

white striped legs, and small black and white striped 

body. Wikipedia

Scientific name: Aedes albopictus

Rank: Species

Higher classification: Aedes

Here to stay and going spreading far and wide: 

This black and white stripped mosquito is known for It's 

stabbing bites and is very aggressive with the risk of being 

bitten lasing from morning until night going after humans,cats,

birds, dogs and other animals as written by Live Science (3). 

There are more then 20 disease the power house of 

a mosquito can carry with it like West Nile fever, 

dengue fever, yellow fever and two types of 

encephalitis.

Chikungunya virus may be transmitted also with 

very sever symptoms of joint pain, fever achiness, 

headaches, nausea, vomiting, rash and 

fatigue lasting a few week.


Since the 1980's when the mosquito was discovered

the United States it has spread to 26 states. The 

Tiger mosquito is affecting the natural habitat 

 when a male Asian Tiger mosquito mates with a 

native aegypti mosquito the chemicals exchanged 

make the female sterile. 

It will be a tough battle with the possibility that the

cold winters may not kill the eggs of the Tiger 

mosquito.

Final words:

Some of us are just to sweet and are a perfect target for the 

Asian Tiger mosquito. Best to be prepared it looks like these 

little guys are here to stay. Preventing the mosquito from 

biting is the best option and being on top of your health 

encase you are unlucky to be bitten with an infected 

mosquito is the next best step.

Looking at the whole picture always helps me make a better choice. 

Be more proactive we can all become just a little bit better and the 

more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Stand up tall 

with an upright posture and be proactive. The solution  helps to

 keep moving the best direction is to step onto the path of True 

Health.  Discover a new world. Help yourself, help the world, step on 

to the Path of True Health and vote with your dollars  company you 

want to support to create a world you will love to live in. I do, and I 

like the world I am helping to create. Together we can create a better 

life for all to remember over their entire lifetime  Together we can 

protect what we have so we don’t need to live in a world that is 

second rate.
