Unapproved GE Wheat found in Oregon 

may cost millions or billions 

Have we opened Pandora's box?

~ Cynthia G. Creel

My story:

As I walk along the rows of  freshly planted seed and growing vegetables I spot them. Plants that just seem to grow from no where. Wild flowers and tomatoes plants just pop up everywhere. The bugs and insects are no different I have seen more variety this year then ever before. Bugs with orange on black, black on orange, white on black, blue on black, white on green, and the list seems to be end less. I have no idea where they come from. It is nature working her hardest to keep life going. It is her job and she does it well. 

When we find an unapproved genetically engineered  plants, better known as a genetically modified organism (GMO) just growing out in nature I have to question do we really know what we are doing and if it is the wrong way will it be correctable in the long run? 

Nature does what it does, just like any tool. When I used to work remodeling kitchens, I was the detail person and the best instructions I was given was “Tools do what they do. They will cut the wood or your finger off. The tool does what it is made to do, cut.” I have all ten finger today and only put a small finishing nail though one finger in the 10 years I worked on kitchens and bathrooms. My painful mistake that I learned from, but could not undo once it was done. 

The very large news of  the week is the discovery of an unapproved GMO (genetically modified organism)  wheat found in Oregon, USA just growing in a farmers field.  There could be very large consequences to the landscape of  the Untied States and the economic impact may have far reaching impacts. 

USDA new release on unapproved GE wheat found in Oregon:

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (1) released a statement on May 29, 2013 that test results confirmed  a possible presents of genetically engineered (GE) or GM glyphosate-resistant wheat plants once produced by Monsanto found on a farm in Oregon. The GE wheat was a wheat developed by Monsanto who tested the wheat from 1998 to 2005 in 16 states.  The USDA doesn't consider this a threat to humans. Today there are no GE wheat varieties  are not approved for sale or in commercial productions in the United States or else where at this time. A formal investigation has been ordered by the USDA and if violations are found  the authorities could seek a civil penalties up to $1,000,000 and/or criminal penalties. 

Monsanto missed some  GE wheat destroyed grown between 1998 to 2005 in 16 states:

The Guardian (3)  reported  the farmer from Oregon found GE wheat between harvest. The farm workers sprayed the herbicide gloyphoste (found in Roundup manufactured by Monsanto) to kill the unwanted plants and they didn't die after being sprayed (a sign of a GE). The Oregon State was contacted to find out if this wheat was an GE resistant to herbicides. 

The test confirmed a Monsanto connection. The wheat may  be a strain developed and tested by Monsanto between 1998 and 2005 in over 100 approved fields (by the USDA) to resist it’s herbicides like roundup. The biotech company had applied for permission from the USDA  to develop the GE wheat but later pulled its application. The GE wheat was test grown in 16 states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.

How GE’s can spread:

It is currently not understood how the GE wheat ended up growing in a field in Oregon. GE’s can be spread like any other plant through wild life or cross pollination.

GE and cancer study:

All thought the reaches for the study out of France I wrote about in a previous article (4) didn't test the rodents with a GE wheat, they did find rats exposed to a GE grain developed tumors and died early. 

French study with GE grain (not wheat) (4)

Large fines and larger cash flow:

In a previous article (4) I reported that Monsanto’s cash flow from operations for the first half of the fiscal year 2013 nearly $1.9 billion. If they are fined the maximum of $1,000,000 it seems it might not affect the company enough to change their practices of continuing to develop GE products. 

Monsanto's cash flow (4) 

The Wheat industry may loose billions:

 According to Reuters (5) in the past other unapproved grains, like corn and rice, ended up in the market place with billions of dollars lost. One company  paid a fine in 2011 of $750 million. With Asia importing 40 million tons of wheat per year about one third of the global trade  around 150 million tons with the Untied States the number one supplier of wheat. It could cost billions and disrupt the import/export business if GE wheat is discovered wide spread affecting the global economy. 

Final words:

It is clear to me we may have opened Pandora’s box described in a Greek myth when Pandora was told not to open a box. She could not resist and opened the box releasing to the world that held Envy, Crime, Hate, and Disease. This Pandora’s box may hold a simple seed of GE wheat that may just release a global devastation in the long run costing us billions. If this seed growing on a farm was not part of the normal  food chain how deep does the cross contamination run?  We many never know for sure and may loose our ability to keep uncontaminated crops available. If we do not buy it they will not produce it.

The last item to leave Pandora’s box was Hope. I still have hope this out of control experiment can be contained. It will take major changes in attitude that GE’s can be controlled easily to one that works with nature rather then trying to control nature. It is up to us all to help changes take place. Using our voices and money can shape our future for the better. 

The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Affecting Michael Jackson and millions: Psoriasis and vitiligo may have new solution. No one should suffer needlessly” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-30-2013

“Affecting Michael  Jackson and millions:

Psoriasis and vitiligo may have new solution. No one should suffer needlessly”

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

5-30-2013

My Story:

If you have it you will know what a pain it is either physically or emotionally. It was awful for a person I know, we will call “Jack” has had large red blotches on the upper body most likely psoriasis. No matter what was done nothing seem to work, until the day the test came back that the Vitamin D3 levels were low. Over the next few months like magic most of the red blotchy spots disappeared. 

Was this just one person or could this be more than just one? A new study supports the positive affects of Vitamin D on psoriasis and vitiligo which may bring a new world to many.

Psoriasis affecting 5 million in the United States:

According to Mayo Clinic psoriasis (1) is a common chronic skin disease that causes the skin cells to build up quickly on the surface of the skin creating a thick silvery scales and itchy dry, red patches that may be painful.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) (6) states that psoriasis affects all age groups, both male and females, and is greater than 3% of the Untitled States population or more than 5 million people. Psoriasis may inflame the joints and create symptoms of arthritis call psoriasis arthritis. 


Vitiligo affecting 1 in 10 in the Untied States:

According to Mayo Clinic Vitiligo (vit-ih-LI-go) (2) affects the melanin (pigment or coloring of the skin). The coloring is lost when the cells that produce the color of the skin die showing up as growing white patches of irregular shapes on the skin.  Vitiligo affects all races and usually is more noticeable in people with darker skin. 

The National Institute of Health (NIH) (5) states vitiligo affects 1 out of every 100 people in the Untied States.  The cause of vitiligo is unknown and can occur at any age. Vitiligo may be autoimmune disorder where the immune cells may be destroying the cells that create pigment (melanocytes)   when immune cells destroy the cells that produce melanocyties 




Michael Jackson and vitiligo:

Being super rich, popular or a rock star doesn't give you everything. How much money is it worth to solve a problem with out a prescription drug? The reports were true that Michael Jackson did have vitiligo. The Daily News(4) reported on the pop singer’s death from the coroners office report confirmed Jackson had host of ailments including that he “suffered from vitiligo, a condition that causes the skin to lose pigment.”


New Vitamin D Study show positive affects on vitiligo and psoriasis:

some results from the study for psoriasis (3)

some results from the study for vitiligo (3)

 Mayo clinic (1,2) reports there is no cure for vitiligo and psoriasis. Today there may be an answer with the use of vitamin D.  A new study show vast improvements of vitiligo and psoriasis. There is new hope from a non prescription treatment of vitamin D. A new study (3) shows dramatic improvement for vitiligo and psoriasis. All patients stared out with low vitamin D status. The authors of the study stated that “High-dose vitamin D3 therapy may be effective and safe for vitiligo and psoriasis patients.” A medical professional should be consulted before any changes are made in lifestyle.
 A blood test is required to determine vitamin D3 status. I recommend consulting your medical care professional and finding out your vitamin D3 levels and appropriate treatments. 





Final words:

No one should suffer unnecessarily.  When we are healthier it shines through our skin. There is a look of healthy skin that just can’t be duplicated by makeup or cover up. The millions that suffer from vitiligo and psoriasis may feel embarrassed to be in  public or to even wear something that would uncover this skin disorder, something they are forced to deal with when there are no real answers or when the skin disorder  is impossible or difficult to cover. Many have given up on finding answers. Finding a simple solution that helps solve that problem is ideal. Sometimes it is not the money that a person accumulates that counts it is what a person understands. I wonder how much Michael Jackson would have paid some one to solve his skin disorder of vitiligo? And if that had been solved would his life ended so early. 

I know my friend finds it priceless not to live with the annoying, itchy, embarrassing, and sometimes painful condition of psoriasis just to look normal again with out any more looks or constant announce of sensation. 

Be proactive ask your medical care professional for a vitamin D3 test. If you want more help find a life style coach to possibly help beyond what  medical care professional may offer. Find out what your vitamin D3 numbers are today.  

The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Sudden Ocean dead: Are we at the tipping point for the oceans to still sustain life?” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-29-2013

“Sudden Ocean dead:

Are we at the tipping point for the oceans 

to still sustain life?”

~ Cynthia G. Creel

5-29-2013

My Story:

It was a hot summer’s day and the kids were melting. That was the day I decided to buy an  above ground pool. It was round, blue with an inflatable ring on the top edge making it look like a giant cannibal pot as the sides bulged out.  The kids splashed about and were small enough they could even swim in the 3 and hall foot high pool.. 

One day I noticed a green tint to the water. I throw in some extra chemicals. By the third day what I had done wasn’t enough and suddenly the pool was solid green. I tried to correct the chemistry of the pool to bring back sparkling clear blue water. It was no use I simply dumped the water and stared over. 

It may be easy to instantly turn a small pool’s water from green to sparkling blue waters in my back yard. However the oceans can not be dumped and started over, the ocean must be worked with to correct the problems at hand  helping the ocean function so it can create and maintain the crystal waters the holds the perfect protein  and all the sea live to help feed the world. Without a working ocean producing food a tipping point may happen and starvation may be the end result for millions. There still is time to correct our out of bounds thoughts and habits that the ocean can absorb anything and still provide what we need for the growing population of Earth: 7 billion and counting.  

Plastic swirls in the ocean:

According to the daily mail (1) the swirling  plastic in the Pacific Ocean, the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” (GPGP) keeps on growing by one hundred times since the 19970’s. and now is the size of the state of Texas, USA. Through samples of water taken since the 1970’s the researchers found little plastic in early samples of ocean water and  in 2009 the water samples from the same area  found the ocean polluted with billions of tiny pieces of confetti- like trash, plastic.  Much of the plastic is less then 5 milometer in diameter  and consumed by wild life like fish, sea turtles and other sea life.  In 2009 one in ten fish caught for a study had plastic in their stomachs with some estimates were that fish  digesting up to 12,000 to 24,000 tons of plastic a year. The GPGP  is becoming much thicker and has around 100 times more plastic per cubic meter of water than during the 1970’s. 

A “water strider” insect may benefit from the floating plastic using it to lay eggs and this may have a negative impact on it’s food supply of zooplankton and fish larvae upsetting the balance of the ocean and creating a food shortage for other animals or create a boom of the population of the animals that eat the insects. Ending up taking away food from some and plenty of food for other sea life. 

Clean up may be impossible so prevention  of adding plastic to the GPGP is the strategy today. Banning plastic bags and Styrofoam packaging will help. Just in California, USA 14 billion plastic bags are used annually with on y 3% being recycled in 2009. 

There will be more calls for cities and states to ban plastic bags and Styrofoam packaging. In California, 14 billion plastic bags are distributed annually, and only 3 per cent are recycled. 80 percent of the trash in the Pacific Ocean come from land seems to point to a way to save the ocean by changing our behavior. To improve our oceans it seems to be in our hands. 

Monterrey Bay Aquarium  offers one solution:

I often visit the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and they offer a quick solution to help keep our source of perfect protein available. Giving guides of which fish it is best to eat, ok to eat or avoid. (See list below)

Final words:

There are many reasons to save the oceans the one that interests most people is the idea of having an unlimited supply of fish and sea life to feed themselves and the population. . We may only put a dent in the problems at hand of an abundance of small bits of plastic and keeping a supply of seafood on going. That is better than adding to the problem.  

Avoiding the use of plastics or Styrofoam  and eating the fish that are the “Best Choice” is a great start to keep a sustainable ocean. The person it starts with is each one of us first then the world. It seems to be doable today, tomorrow it may be too late.

Recycling what we use can help. If 100% of the plastic and Styrofoam (if it can be recycled)  was recycled it would not end up in the ocean or in a landfill. 

The more proactive we can all become the more likely the negative results in life can be avoided. Buy the fish that are going to help save the ocean and avoid plastics or Styrofoam. 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.

“Baby formula may kill vs superior breast milk may create healthier baby and adults saving $ 3.6 Billion just in the U.S.” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-28-2013

“Baby formula may kill vs

superior breast milk may create 

healthier baby and adults: 

Saving $ 3.6 Billion just in the U.S.”

~ Cynthia G. Creel

5-28-2013

My Story:

My youngest was 3 months old when I had to have an operation. I knew from the research I had done my breast milk was superior to formula. With great effort I was able to come out of the hospital after about a week and continue breastfeeding my baby. This only worked with pumping breast milk, feeding my baby in the hospital when possible and a little bit of formula. 

I had to trust the formula would do it’s job. Within 2 weeks all was back to breast feeding my baby. I wanted to do what was best for my children every step of they way just like parents around the world.



Deaths caused by virus in China:
The idea there are major health problems in China may be part of the reason baby formula produced outside the country is a hot commodity. 

The Daily Mail (2) reported  20,000 or more of pigs and tens of thousands of ducks and swans were  found dead washing up onto riverbanks in China as of March 10, 2013. Some of the dead adult pigs tested positive for PCV-2  which is normally deadly to pig fetuses and young pigs with many people coming to the conclusion that the polluted waters in China may have something to do with the animals deaths.  One scientist suggested that  the deaths maybe part of the bird flu  out break. The question on the minds of many has H7N9 virus has undergone a mutation? The river water’s came out negative when tested for H7N9 virus.


Baby formal deaths in China in 2008:

Parents purchase baby formula in China just like many other parents from around the world. There is good faith the infant formula wouldn't cause their infant to die if consumed and yet it happened. On October 3, 2008 the United States Food And Drug Administration (FDA) (3)  reported infant deaths and illness from melamine contaminated infant formula. The Telegraph (1) reported  6 babies died and 300,000 fell ill from this contaminated milk leaving some parents  to only trust the name brand baby formulas manufactured outside of China.

More arrest for trafficking “safe” infant formal in China:

Is there more money in infant formula than drug? According to the Telegraph (1) as China’s demand rises for foreign foodstuffs like baby formula which is restricted by a new law is creating  over 2 times  the arrests for baby formula smugglers than those arrested for the cross-boarder drug traffickers in all of 2012. 

The concern over  having the best for an infant from the parents may be influenced by the one-child police in China. The guardian (6) tells of 30 years of the strict one-child police in China created  in response to the  China's population  explosion with the population in China growing from about 500 million in 1949 to almost one billion 30 years later. 


Growing middle class in China can buy infant formula: 

The middle class of China is most likely to continue to grow. Forbes (7) reports of the growing middle class consumers in China in 2011 was estimated to be 300 million Chinese who have disposable income to perchance discretionary items like brand name infant formula from foreign countries like the Untied States. 


Breast feeding in China?:
If many of the Chinese parents want the best for their children why aren't  they breast feed more instead of buying infant formula? Why is formula so popular when there is a simple solution that protects the baby from contaminated formula and may be superior for the baby’s health as and infant though adult? Breast feeding may have a reduced cost and health benefits above formula fed babies. 

Sales of formula in Hong Kong 2012 $678 million: 



The USDA’s Global Agricultural information Network  (8) details of Hong Kong ‘s infant formula increased by  49% increase in sales totaling  US$678 million worth of infant formula sold in 2012.  Over 90 percent of the market is dominated by six brands Abbot, Cow and Gate, Friso, Mead Johnson, Nestle and Wyeth with advertising US$97 million. 
Breast Feed superior for infant and may save billions:

Benefit's of breast feeding may continue into adulthood:
 The Official Journal of American  Academy of Pediatrics (OJAAP)  tells of the positive effects from breast feeding a child. The human milk is species-specific ( human milk for human infants) and superior for feeding an infant  while other prepared infant formulas are markedly different (based on soy, cow, goat, or other) . The Human milk provides added protection from infectious diseases such as bacterial meningitis, bacteremia, diarrhea, respiratory tract infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, otitis media, urinary tract infection, and late-onset sepsis in preterm infants. 

Infants fed Human milk have a reduced risk of death by 21% in the United States including some studies finding protection from sudden infant death syndrome (SID) in the first year of life, diabetes mellitus, lymphoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin disease, overweight and obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and asthmain older children and adults who were breastfed vs. non breastfed  individuals. Mothers who breast feed also have many heath benefits including a reduced risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. 


With and added monetary benefit of breastfeeding in the Untied States creating a potential of a decreased in annual health care costs by $3.6 billion.


Vitamin D and breastfeeding:


The CDC also reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) November 2008, recommends that a supplement of 400 IU per day of vitamin d  for all breastfed infants. AAP also recommends breastfeeding with the nutrients factor and immune factors recognizing the breast milk hasn’t been found to provide infants with adequate vitamin d intake.  Infants are able to syntisies vitamin D. If an infant is deficient in Vitamin d rickets (creating soft bones) could develop including in developed countries.

Final words:

When I had my first child there was no question that I would be breast feeding. The formula companies did what they do best having to create a market promoting the benefits of formula and most likely don't include the list of full differences. China has an emerging middle class with disposable income wanting the best for the one child they are allowed to have with the one child policy. The increasing health issues and past contamination of baby formula in China have created a heavy demand for “safe” infant formula wanting name brand formula manufactured outside the of China. The question I have is why formula to create a healthy baby?  Why are Chinese women turning to formula rather then breast feeding. 

Breast feeding with a vitamin d supplement gives added benefits infant formula may never be able to match. Selling infant is big business with sales in Hong Kong alone at US$678 million for 2012. They want to sell their formula  yet there is no company to make a mistake when breast feeding. I found breast feeding to be convenient and less expensive than formula. Breast feeding may be natures perfect food that might just give parents what they want a healthier baby, with infant formula an emergency backup used if necessary. 

The money that is spent on formula and the health benefits might save the United States $3.6 billion to be spent on other areas.  The world may have a similar benefit in saving money and helping to save resources.  


The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Cholesterol drugs may be changing the lab numbers and not the risk of heart attack: 600,000 deaths and $109 billion spent on heart disease in the Untied States.” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-27-2013

“Cholesterol drugs may be changing the lab numbers and not the risk of heart attack: 600,000 deaths and $109 billion 

spent on heart disease in the Untied States.”

~ Cynthia G. Creel

5-27-2013

My story:

I was headed for a heart attack and I knew it. I felt chest pains and was oh so tired. I went to the doctors and the lab work was ordered. Just the bad cholesterol over 300 was enough to scare me. I was prescribed  4 drugs to help control the cholesterol  and try to get my health under control . I was lucky I didn’t have a heart attack and die, like my father. 

I didn’t go into the doctor’s office lacking a drug. At the time I knew I had to do something so I took my drugs with the thought there had to be a better way. I was check out by the doctor’s every 3 months and I eventually found answers to eliminate the need for a drug. My goal was to not have a heart attack.




Drugs lowering cholesterol vs. lowering risk of a heart attack: 


A new study takes a look at the effectiveness of cholesterol drugs lowering the risk of heart attacks. CBS news This Morning reports on a new study and interviews Dr. Harlan Krumholz, professor of cardiology at the Yale School of Medicine (1) discussing the ideas when cholesterol goes down heart heath doesn’t necessarily go up. Some drugs will lower the cholesterol and the risk of a heart attack doesn’t lower. We are  not just lab numbers and the numbers may not reflect what is actually going on in the body. 

Heart disease in America is the leading cause of death with 600,000 deaths each year at an annual cost of $109 billion in the USA.  It becomes important not to become just another number for the death count. Some drugs are known to be effective at lowering the risk and some drugs that are advertised as a great choices have a disclaimer in small print saying this drug has not yet shown if this drug prevents heart attacks. 

Final words:

At some points in life drugs may be part of an answer, finding the best answers can be difficult. Knowing if a drug is proven to actually help to lower risk is one key.. Understanding what drug is being offered and what all of our options are and their risks helps to decide what is right. I choose a Path of  True Health that found many ways to focused on not having a heart attack that did not include man made drugs.  The path I choose was best for me in my opinion. Each person needs to find their own best way and consult with their medical professional. Asking question  and becoming proactive can uncover exactly the information that is needed. We all must live another day for a chance to be better tomorrow. The goal of just selling more dugs because they are on the market may be disservice to the patients. 

As a country if we don’t have to spent $109 billion on heart disease where else could we use these funds?  Even if we cut it in half  an extra 54.5 billion could help this country become just a little stronger. 


The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Beauty of Nature, naturally!” Cynthia G. Creel 5-26-2013

“Beauty of Nature, naturally!"

”

Cynthia G. Creel 

5-26-2013

It is often times I see the most eye popping colors on the farm standing in the  middle of the garden. The plants just grow into these brilliant colors. Lately I have also noticed the vibrancy of color on the bugs in the garden. The iridescent blue or black coloring of the dragonflies. The deep orange color of the lady bug’s wings. The sky even seems to be a little blue
As I look around I see what some would miss. “The right stuff” and I know the garden is doing well. When I take my first sweet bite of green beans this year I will have the true verdict that all is good in the garden.

“Global Concern: Vitamin D deficiency found even in the tropics” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-25-2013

“Global Concern:

Vitamin D deficiency found even in the tropics”

~ Cynthia G. Creel

5-25-2013

My Story:

I sometimes think of my life in terms of being  vitamin D3 efficient and deficient It was a turning factor in my life as in maintaining efficient levels  is today. It also makes me think of what I missed because I was deficient and the unneeded pain it caused during that time. Before I was tested I could only guess what my levels were. Testing is the only way to know what is going on. Vitamin D3 isn't everything and yet it is a large piece of the puzzle. I am never surprised by the out come on a Vitamin D study except when it says it didn't help. 

New Vitamin D Study on they way:

A study out of Australia and New Zealand (1) is under way looking at vitamin D levels affecting hypertension, diabetes mellitus and abnormally high level of cholesterol in the blood focusing on urban premenopausal women in tropical country where there is plenty of sunshine. Vitamin D sometimes referred to as the sunshine vitamin because vitamin D is produced from sun exposure to the skin. It was found even in a tropical area vitamin D deficiency can be high. This will be the first study to see if Vitamin D will help women living in the tropics to over come life threading developments connected to cardiometabolic. 

Final thoughts:


It is great to find studies looking into finding a benefit that will cost little to implement and have large benefits  It could be surprising to many that even in the tropics where there is plenty of sunshine most of the year there can be a vitamin D deficiency creating more problems than necessary. And if vitamin D deficiency is in the tropics is it everywhere? The vitamin D issues is large and the mountain of evidence is growing on the far reaching effects on the body that cost little to correct and give so much benefit. 

The only way to know your level of vitamin D3 is to have a blood test. Vitamin D3 levels may change over time.  It is good to check with your medical professional. A blood test could be an annual event like during a physical or a few times a year. Remember to ask your medical professional about a vitamin D3 test, maybe they didn't check for vitamin D3 on the last physical.


The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Implied healthy: Flavored water may be the new soda” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-24-13

“Implied healthy: 

Flavored water may be the new soda”

~ Cynthia G. Creel 

5-24-2013

 My Story:

I love the taste of water, I drink glass after glass. This was not always so I used to have to have a flavor. For me I loved sodas coke flavored. I know many people just don’t like the taste of water.  Now there is flavored water. 


Flavored water maybe sweetened:

Water with flavor has the sound of being healthy. I am doing great things for myself we all need water, so I will just grab the flavored water, that’s healthy isn’t it? Is it the best choice and is it just like drinking a glass of water? Maybe, maybe not. 

According to the Daily News (1) 300 million liters of flavored drinks are being sold by one company. Some companies have as much as 46 grams per 500 ml. Listed on a bottle of coke is sugar 39 grams per 355ml. 

According to the Coca-cola site (2) they talk having a sweet drink is normal an natural:

“Sweeteners Play an Important Role in Our Food and Beverage Selection 
and Enjoyment.
Research shows that we are inherently drawn to sweet tastes – more than any other taste sensation. In fact,
it is sweetness that directs newborn mammals toward safe and nourishing foods and drinks. Because of
this, humans have sought sweet foods and drinks throughout history and sweetness continues to be a strong
factor in our food and beverage selections. Today, our inherent desire for sweetness can be satisfied by a
variety of regular, low- and no-calorie sweeteners.
Benefits of Sweeteners
• Studies show people consume more liquid when it’s flavored, versus plain water.1
This helps us consume
greater amounts, making it easier to keep the body fully hydrated. Sweeteners help provide flavor to
sparkling beverages. Most sparkling beverages, both regular and low- and no-calorie, contain between
85 percent and 99 percent water.
• Some sweeteners, such as table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, provide glucose. This simple sugar
is the primary source of caloric fuel that your body uses for energy, and in fact, glucose is the primary fuel
used by the brain.
Important to Remember
• It’s important to remember that the energy obtained from food and beverages, such as the energy
provided by table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, is measured in calories, and all calories count,
including those that come from our beverages.
• All foods and beverages can fit into an active, healthy lifestyle that includes a sensible, balanced diet
combined with regular physical activity”

Listed on  the Coca-cola site (3) for vitamin water essential has Cystalline fructose, cane sugar and  Sorbitol. According to the Coca-Cola site (4) Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol. Crystalline Fructose is a sweetener, which provides approximately 4 calories per gram, as do other carbohydrate sweeteners. It is much sweeter in taste than other sugars, so a smaller amount can be used. Cane Sugar is sugar made from the sugar cane plant.

There could even be artificial sugars listed in some products.


Final words:

Many companies want to sell their products and do not market them by telling about anything extra in the product, instead they talk about all the best parts. When drinking a flavored water if it has  sugar, a modified sugar or artificial sweetener than it is more than water you are drinking. This may or may not be helping. Pure water has no added sweetener buying a flavored water may have more than just water. 


The more proactive we can all become 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.

“Has technology dumb things down lowering IQ by 14 points?” ~ Cynthia G. Creel 5-23-2013

“Has technology dumb things down, 

lowering IQ by 14 points?”

~ Cynthia G. Creel

5-23-2013

My Story:

It was the 80’s and when I opened my business I purchased a new phone. It was so cool it could store 10 phone numbers, just push a button and like magic the number was dialed. I could hear the numbers as each one was being entered before the phone line started to ring.  At that time I thought it was great and on second thought I thought how will I remember the numbers when I am not using this button on the phone. Just the process of using and older style rotary phone helped me to remember each phone number I dialed often. Could our desire for advancements and the fulfillment of these wants have the negative side effect of less intelligence affecting our societies on a whole?

The Victorian age and automatons:

Queen Victoria, after whom the Victorian era is named.1837 to 1901

During the Victorian age 1837 to 1901 named after Queen Victoria, the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1) Many automatons are robot type machines created under the same principles of a wind up watch with many more complex movements came from the Victorian age. The design behind the automatons sometimes were lost when an inventor died according to CBS Sunday Morning (2).  

Henri Maillardet created an automation that ended up at the Franklin Institute of Science in 1928. Years passed before it was completely restored  unraveling the mystery of it’s maker and the ability to create 4 pictures and 3 poems  This creations were one 

  (2)  CBS Sunday Morning - Lost art of Automatons alive again

demonstration of the intelligence and creativity of the time. The questions is were the people of the Victorian age more intelligent and creative then people of today? There is growing evidence this many be true.                                            (3) Henri Maillardet's Automaton at The Franklin Institute Science

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Today’s loss of 14 points in intelligent:

A new study (4) that used data from 14 studies measuring the reaction time described in a meta analysis between 1889 and 2004 found a 14 point difference. That is a 1.23 IQ point loss for 14 decades. The authors of the study indicate that this supports the idea the Victorians were substantially more clever than the modern Western populations.

                   

Modern intelligence in robots:

Digital Journal (6) tells of an “intelligent” robotics named Jules invented by the Hanson company that looks like a real human and talks as if it is having a conversation.  Some people just don’t understand how things work. It seems the 
older a person is more often 
 (4) Modern day automation "Invertuality: Jules says goodbye..."

choices not to keep up  with technology like not having a cell phone, no computer, or don’t text. It seems those who use things as a tool may have an edge. Are the people using the computers as a tool creating more intelligence?
                                                                                                                                                                      

Final words:

In the last three years I changed my life dramatically stepping on to the Path of True Health. Having very different priorities that doesn’t always mean pressing a button to dial a pre programmed number.  I have read some very complex studies and information. I more often use the computer for research or writing then passive activities like watching a movie.  

Excited about what I learned I would have short conversations with almost anyone I would meet.  I found no matter how simple the language it seemed the only people who could understand were those who were like me doing more then just sitting and following directions. For about 20 years I had a lifestyle that seemed to be just following directions. 

The people that could understand that gave me hope. The most exciting part is the people who just couldn’t wrap their minds around the ideas in the last few years began to understand the concepts. May be the 14 point loss in IQ will only be a dip in history if we all become a little more proactive. 

The more proactive we can all become 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.
