My Plane Ticket Was Cancelled

This is not really a good story but it is not so bad. Sometimes I am thinking of getting some wrinkles about this. Last week, I sent an email to the travel agency where I booked my plane ticket for a vacation to the Philippines. I asked if they still have an available seats of the promo ticket they are still offering on their website. In fact until now it is still there. I already booked my ticket since last August but I am still hoping to get a cheaper one. Since there are no more seats for their promo tickets, I asked them to send me the bill of my ticket reservation. They sent me a bill online but I don't have a printer. Sad to say, they said that my ticket was already cancelled because I did not pay for it. I got a bit stress about it. I immediately called the travel agency to rebooked another ticket for me. I am just happy to know that the same flight schedule I had before is still available. Sometimes if you have stress from this situation, you might need eye wrinkle cream to get rid of those winkles. We can't avoid it and it really happens. To avoid any stress, we better not think too much of any problems and bad situation. We have to remember life is so short. We better have fun and live life to the fullest. Cheers!

Help! Got Problems with my Clothes!

We are now in the middle of the week! Weekend is almost here again. I am excited because we might be going sightseeing again. I hope and pray that me and my dear hubby are perfectly fit during the weekend. The past months, I really had a problem with my clothes. Sometimes it is annoying when you are in a hurry and the pants, blouse or shirt you want to wear don't fit anymore. I was scared because as I checked my weight last month, I gained another 4 kilos again! Oh my gosh! I need to visit this site with diet pills review. I need to review myself also! Since yesterday, I started to make a simple diet. I don't eat too much anymore in the night. Just some fruits and vegetables are the one that I am trying to eat. I hope I can reduce my weight because most of my clothes are getting smaller now. I don't want to spend money again in buying new clothes. I did spent already a hundred Euros last week. It's an excuse because it was my birthday shopping present from my hubby! whew! I'll see you later again peeps!

Sympathy to Sick People!

It is a very sad story when somebody in the family is sick. It might be worse when the sickness is a terminal one and there is no more cure for that sickness. Cancer sickness for example like mesothelioma is also very dangerous. Most people who have this sickness got it from their job which has exposure to asbestos, a kind of chemical element. I sympathize to those who have one. I hope that those poor victims of this sickness will have miracle or will be cured and be backed to their normal health. Keep on praying! God always listen. If ever I will be given three wishes..one of which is having good health always! I hope you too! Cheers and Enjoy your weekend because I will! I ma excited for tomorrow's escapade.More updates on Sunday!

What A Weather Today!

I woke-up earlier today to go grocery shopping. I already had some things in my list which were included in my so-called "must to buy". I already came home around 3:00 PM because a friend who saw me in Parsberg called me and we had a conversation. We had a great long conversation with a new friend she introduced to me today. That was also the reason why it took me so long to go home. It was a very nice sunny day during the noon time. As I arrived home, the sky was already dark. After I put inside our house all the stuffs that I shopped, I heard thunders and lightnings already and the rain begin to pour so hard. I thought I can go a bit walking in the neighborhood but the rain took too long to stop. I will try to have more exercise now to lose extra pounds because I found out that I gained some kilos again..Not really good for me! I want to search more about weight loss supplement reviews to find out which is the most effective one. But I guess, discipline and more exercise is still the best and natural way to get rid of extra pounds. I will give you more updates tomorrow..I have to slowly sign-off now! have a great evening!

I Need More Stimulus!

Good day everyone! What a beautiful day today! Full sunshine is finally here but I'm still feeling quite tired. Any good news out there? I guess I have something good for you and for me too. The past days, I had been feeling so tired for not having enough sleep. I also mentioned it in my other blogs. It seems that I am not fit when I wake up in the morning. The same thing happened today. I felt again tired as I woke-up. I don't know what's exactly wrong with me or probably I need more stimulus in my body. I had a chance to watch a video about Stemulite. I also read a lot of positive testimonials from their customers in their website. Some things that interest me about the results of the product when taken are the following; quality of sleep, aid weight loss, an energy boosting supplement. I guess this is the one I am looking for. I also read the elements that composed Stemulite which are needed by our body. I want to visit this site again to know more about it.

Starting For a Diet Plan

Good morning guys! I am alive again! The weekend had been very hectic for me. I am busy with my escapades last Saturday in Czech Republic and in Bayerisher Wald in Germany. I was totally burned out yesterday after doing some stuffs in the house. I had been staying in the kitchen almost the whole day cooking. Last night before I went to sleep, I told myself that I really need to start again for a diet plan. I don't know where to start but I know the main thing to do for a diet is not eating too much and eating more fiber and protein food like fruits and vegetables. I just visited Diet Direct and was looking for their products. The best thing I found is there diet cookbook. I was also thinking about their Tri O Plex product. I believed this is a great site that can help me start a good diet plan. Wish me luck guys! I will really try my best now to lose some excess weight! Happy Monday!

Getting Dental Services From Exceptional Practice

Morning has broken! This sounds like a title of a song, right guys? Before I end up for tonight, I would like to share about dental issues such as gum disease treatment. Anyway, I finally took a break as what I mentioned in my previous post. I watched TV, took a shower and brushed my teeth. Since the topic I have here is all about dental care, let me share first a short story about my husband. Two weeks ago my husband visited a dentist near our place. He have some dental problems and I guess when his teeth will be fixed, the insurance will only pay a percentage of it. He have to go back there again on Friday to see the result of the so-called computation from the insurance. We will see how much will be the damage after his visit. The important thing is, his dental problems must be acted as soon as possible.

We also know guys that dental hygiene is very important to our health. That is the reason why I always brush my teeth before going to sleep. Some people who don't practice dental hygiene will result to teeth and gum damages. When this happen, you need the service of a very good dentist. If you happen to live in Litchfield, Arizona, you might want to visit CDM or Center for Dental Medicine. They provide modern dental technologies and services with regards to dental health and treatment. They also provide information regarding the links and side effects of having gum problems to any disease such heart attacks, diabetes and a lot more. Their dental professionals are always there to help you with any dental problems and difficulties. You better act now before it is too late! Time to bid goodbye! have a great evening!

dedicated to All Women

I know this is what all women want, to have a beautiful, sexy and healthy body. I have to admit I am included in the list with the same wishes. Just last week, I was looking on my old photo albums. I can't imagine that I was only around 53-55 kilos six years ago. Sometimes, I am asking myself...what is happening to me now? Can I get back that body again..I always tried to avoid eating too much food. But to tell you honestly guys, I can't do that all the time especially if it is my favorite dishes. Pity for me. Sometimes I even regretted about it. I mean regret about my favorite hobby, eating!! hehehe...bad for me..I know that but I still don't lose hope to get back that 34-24-36 body stats....does any women want this body stats too? I believed so. Probably we should search for the top diet pills on the market. Just a reminder, a healthy and sound body with proper attitude and values is still the best.

I don't go walking Today

Today is Sunday. Normally me and my husband should go walking together. But since it is so cold outside and it seems that the heaven is getting gray which means rain is coming, I decided to stay at home and cook for dinner. I am quite lazy to go walking too. I have a fitness equipment at home. It is like a Nordic walking stepper. Honestly I don't use it often. I hope I can use it more especially during the winter time where I can't go often walking outside. I will try my best. Besides I know that I need to lose some weight. How about you??

Help for Tired Feet

Health and Beauty Tip

If your feet are hurting after a long day, try this: soak your feet in warm water mixed with bath salts for about ten minutes. Don't just dry your feet off afterwards, though -- wash them with soap and water, then apply some moisturizer.

Treating Oily Skin

Health and Beauty Tip

If you feel like your skin is too oily and you need toner, apply it to the T-zone, then rinse it off. Leaving it can make your skin too dry. Every three days or so, you can also use a clay mask to absorb excess oil.

Elderly women benefit from mammograms

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A U.S. study suggests that women 70 and older benefit from yearly mammograms to help detect breast cancer.

Researchers at Jacobi Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine reviewed the mammographies of 24 cases of breast cancer in 22 patients 70 to 89 and correlated the results to surgically proven histology and lymph node involvement.

"Our initial interest was sparked by the changing mammographic guidelines in the elderly age group and the differences in the guidelines between organizations, including the American Cancer Society and American College of Radiology," lead author Dr. Jason Salsamendi said.

"During our study, we found that five patients never had a prior mammogram. Their breast cancer was detected on a baseline study. These five patients included three cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma."

The study results encourage clinicians to continue to order screening mammography in elderly patients at yearly intervals, Salsamendi said.

The study is scheduled to be presented as an electronic exhibit during the American Roentgen Ray Society's annual meeting in Washington this week.

Study links incontinence drugs with memory problems

By CARLA K. JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO - Commonly used incontinence drugs may cause memory problems in some older people, a study has found. "Our message is to be careful when using these medicines," said U.S. Navy neurologist Dr. Jack Tsao, who led the study. "It may be better to use diapers and be able to think clearly than the other way around."

Urinary incontinence sometimes can be resolved with non-drug treatments, he added, so patients should ask about alternatives. Exercises, biofeedback and keeping to a schedule of bathroom breaks work for many.

U.S. sales of prescription drugs to treat urinary problems topped $3 billion in 2007, according to IMS Health, which tracks drug sales. Bladder control trouble affects about one in 10 people age 65 and older, according to the National Institute on Aging, which helped fund the study. Women are more likely to be affected than men. Causes include nerve damage, loss of muscle tone or, in men, enlarged prostate.

The research began after Tsao met a 73-year-old patient. Shortly after starting an incontinence drug, she began hallucinating conversations with dead relatives and having memory problems. Her thinking improved when she stopped the drug for several months.

Tsao and his colleagues knew of similar reports. They decided to look at a large group of people to see if they could measure an effect of these and other medications that affect acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that shuttles signals through the brain and the rest of the nervous system. The drugs block some nerve impulses, such as spasms of the bladder.

The findings, released Thursday at a meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, come from an analysis of the medication use and cognitive test scores of 870 older Catholic priests, nuns and brothers who participated in the Religious Orders Study at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center. The average age was 75.

Researchers tracked them for nearly eight years, testing yearly for cognitive decline. They asked them to recite strings of numbers backward and forward, to name as many different kinds of fruit as they could in one minute and to complete other challenges during the annual testing.

Nearly 80 percent of the study participants took one or more of a class of drugs called anticholinergics, including drugs for high blood pressure, asthma, Parkinson's disease and incontinence drugs such as Detrol and Ditropan.

The people who took the drugs had a 50 percent faster rate of cognitive decline compared to those who didn't take any. The researchers considered other risk factors for memory loss, such as age, and still found the link. The researchers found no increased risk for the memory-robbing disorder Alzheimer's in people taking the drugs.

The incontinence drugs were among the most potent and were the most frequently taken of all the anticholinergics in the study. That's why the researchers believe they are driving the memory problems, Tsao said.

Some experts said the research supports previous observations and is helpful because it measures the size of the effect.

"This paper adds important new data to the picture," said Dr. Elaine Perry of Newcastle University in England, who has done similar research but was not involved in the new study.

More research is needed on the effects of anticholinergic drugs on memory, Tsao said. Doctors should do baseline cognitive testing on patients before prescribing the drugs, he recommended.

A representative of Pfizer Inc., maker of the top-selling Detrol, said patients should always talk to their doctors about problems while taking medication.

"Detrol has been on the market since 1998. It has been prescribed more than 100 million times worldwide," said Ponni Subbiah, Pfizer's vice president of medical affairs, in an e-mail response to questions.

Confusion and memory impairment were added to prescribing information for Detrol in 2006, Subbiah said, after some patients reported the problems. Since the reports weren't part of a medical study, "the frequency of events and the role of Detrol in their causation cannot be reliably determined," he said.

Health and Beauty Tip

Good Scents

When bringing out clothes that have been in storage for awhile, try using lightly-scented water when ironing. Add some to your iron and, using the steam setting, brush it gently over your clothing. Lavendar water is a good one to use, but try any subtle scent you like.

Beauty Tips

Health and Beauty Tip -- Cream Foundations

For a healthy glow, use gel or cream blushes instead of powder in a rosy pink. These are more transparent and blend smoothly. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards the eyes for a natural look.

Causes of Liver Damage

Hello dear friends!! I got some helpful tips for your health..I believe that these are true..so please read it..don't forget to share and tell your family and friends!! hope this info will help us to be aware of our health..

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late
2. Not urinating in the morning
3. Too much eating
4. Skipping breakfast
5. Consuming too much medication
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent sickness without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time conditioning are very important for our bodies to absorb good nutrients and get rid of harmful chemicals.

Cancer Update from John Hopkins:

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from John Hopkins:

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.


CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.
By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's amino or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.
A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment .
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for
building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.
Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest
and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing
of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

My sister sent this to my email last year. It just happened that I am cleaning my mails so before I will delete it. I also want to share it with you. I believed there's nothing will be lose if we try it too!!! here it is!!

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after
waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its
value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers.
For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water
treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a
100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat,
epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and
urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes,
constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders,
ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4
x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything
for 45 minutes

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or
drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses
of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and
gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick
and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment
required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days

2. Gastric - 10 days

3. Diabetes - 30 days

4. Constipation - 10 days

5. Cancer - 180 days

6. TB - 90 days

7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for
3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the
commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a
routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with
their meals ..not cold water. maybe it is time we adopt their drinking
habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is
applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However,
the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed.
It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and
be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line
the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not
every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a
heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do
not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be
careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could
survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to
everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

**Please be a true friend and send this article to all your
friends you care about......I just did!!!**
