Have you ever noticed gals who sit their purses on public restroom floors beside the toilet - and then go directly to their dining tables?
Happens a lot! It's not always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes "what you don't know 'will' hurt you"! Read on...Mom got so upset when a guest came in the door and plopped their purses down on the counter where she was cooking or setting up the buffet. She always said that purses are really dirty, because of Where they have been. Smart Momma!!! It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our purses, do you have any idea what's on the outside?
Shauna Lake put purses to the test - for bacteria** - with surprising results. You may think twice about where you put your purse. Women carry purses everywhere; from the office to public restrooms to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their purses, but did you ever stop to think about where your purse goes during the day?
"I drive a school bus, so my purse has been on the floor of the bus a lot," says one woman. "On the floor of my car, probably in restrooms."
"I put my purse in grocery shopping carts, on the floor of bathroom stalls while changing a diaper," says another woman and of course in my home which should be clean."
We decided to find out if purses harbor a lot of bacteria. We learned how to test them at Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake , then we set out to test the average woman's purse. Most women told us they didn't stop to think about what was on the bottom of their purse. Most said they usually set their purses on top of kitchen tables and counters where food is prepared. Most of the ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't be surprised if their purses were at least a little bit dirty. It turns out purses are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked. Microbiologist Amy Karren of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the purses tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria.
Pseudomonas can cause eye infections, staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections, and salmonella and e-coli found on the purses could make people very sick. In one sampling, four of five purses tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it.
"There is fecal contamination on the purses," says Amy.
Leather or vinyl purses tended to be cleaner than cloth purses, and lifestyle seemed to play a role. People with kids tended to have dirtier purses than those without, with one exception. The purse of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contaminations of all. "Some type of feces, or even possibly vomit or something like that," says Amy. So the moral of this story - your purse won't kill you, but it does has the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your purse at home and in restrooms, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop.
Experts say you should think of your purse the same way you would a pair of shoes. "If you think about putting a pair of shoes onto your countertops, that's the same thing you're doing when you put your purse on the countertops." Do you really want to bring that home with you?
The microbiologists at Nelson also said cleaning a purse will help. Wash cloth purses and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather purses.

IS TAHITIAN NONI JUICE HELPING ME?
Since all around the world, trully knowledgeable health professionalsall agree that:
"Noni Juice is the single most remarkable natural healing remedy everyet found."
And
"It's ability to treat an extremely wide variety of ailments isunsurpassed!"
The odds are very high that Tahitian Noni Juice IS really helping you!
It is just human nature for people to feel every nuance of any ache,pain, or irritability and yet take good health for granted.
Here's a checklist to help jog your memory so you will not misssomething when determining whether or not Noni is helping you.
Do you sleep more soundly?
Do you notice that your dreams are quite vivid (REM)?
Is it easier to get up in the morning?
Do you feel a increase in your stamina?
If you work out, are you noticing greater strength and endurance duringexercise?
Are you experiencing a heightened sense of "well being" lighter in heartand spirit, or a sense of clarity and positive focus?
Have you noticed spots or skin irritations that have disappeared, areduction in acne, or any noticeable improvement in your skin?
If you had a burn, cut, or abrasion and applied Noni juice to ittopically, have you noticed a significant difference in how fast thewound healed?
Have your bowel movements become more regular?
Has your cholesterol level decreased?
Has your blood pressure gone down?
If you are diabetic, have your sugar levelsimproved for the better?
Have you noticed a decrease in menstrual cycle problems such ascramping, breast soreness, or irritability?
If your kids are drinking Noni, do they seem less moody, more focusedand positive?
Has the pain of arthritis, tendonitis, or any other chronic pain fromold injuries that never quite healed right been reduced?
Do you seem to "get well faster" from viruses, especially the flu?
Do you seem to have better resistance to colds and flu?
If you were feverish, did Noni reduce the fever?If plagued by hemorrhoids, have they become less severe or evendisappeared?
If HIV positive, has your T-cell count gone up quite noticeably?Have benign or malignant tumors shrunken?
Has your cancer gone into remission?
Do you simply feel more youthful and alert?
----------------------------------------------
Nearly EVERY person who drinks Noni juice has answered positively to atleast one, more likely several and if you are like me, to many of theabove questions.
We have well over an 80% monthly reorder rate for Tahitian Noni juice, astrong indicator that it works to help people. (The company does notmake any curative claims.)
Tahitian Noni Juice is simply a pure, natural nutritional supplementwhich helps the body make more of the important alkaloid, xeronine,which assists the body's own healing system.
Juice from the Tahitian species of the Morinda citrifolia plant is oneof nature's most potent sources of pro-xeronine, and for the first timein history it is available exclusively from Tahitian Noni International.
----------------------------------------------
Sometimes in my practice, during a visit with a patient who has triedNoni Juice, I will ask how their painful problem is doing.
Patient: "It's doing a lot better this month…….."
Then later in the interview I might ask how they like the Noni Juicethey started last month.
Patient: "I like it, yet I'm not sure it's helping….."What I would like to say is: "Hellooooo…."
What I do say: "Do you think your improvement could be from the Noni?"
Patient: "You don't think it could be the Noni do you?"
What I would like to say is: "Hellooooo….
What I do say: "I bet it is, especially if that's the only thing you'vedone differently…."
Despite Tahitian Noni International's campaign of, "Everyone,Everywhere", we all know that there are a few people who give it a fairtry and don't notice any benefit.
Still, if you really quiz them, chances are they have not been totallycompliant n either drinking enough of it every day or in drinking it fora long enough period of time.
I have seen studies which looked at compliance among patients, for anexample, the average number of days a person takes a 10-day course ofantibiotics is only 4 days!
If people do NOT even take their prescription medicines correctly, everyoften. they do not drink Tahitian Noni regularly as they should,
Very sadly, this is just human nature.
I have heard Dr. Solomon speculate that the 20% of people who don't seemto benefit from Noni probably didn't drink enough or drink it longenough.
If people just drank just a little of it, they short- changedthemselves.
A common mistake is that they only have one bottle so they just sip itinstead of DRINKING it.(We've heard of distributors who won't even sell just one bottle forthis very reason….although we're not that hard-core!
It does make total sense to reinforce the fact they will most likelyneed 2-3 months to give it a fair shot!
Then when you talk to them a month later you can say, "Remember when Itold you it would take more than one bottle… blablabla).
You can find out their compliance without making them feel stupid byasking them how much they have left, or when did they finish the lastbottle.
Then just do the math.
Sometimes, the people who we really hope will have the best response arethe ones who don't, and it's a bummer.
Our sister-in-law started with the worst luck with those she gave it to.They had all sorts of "cleansing reactions" and no effectiveness, etc.and she kept pushing some and didn't others,
She stuck with it & then finally had some great experiences come backfrom people (some of those were the same people who tried to quit.)Now she's going great.
That's the reason why you want a little luck with your new distributorsright at the beginning, so that they do not get discouraged right out ofthe gate.
Everybody needs that confirmation for them- selves that they are doingthe right thing.
Once new distributors see for themselves how cool it is to have peoplecall them back with good experiences, their confidence goes sky-high andit feeds on itself!
Tell your new person to increase his/her odds with massive action atfirst, because the more juice you get out there, the better the chanceat matching the 80/20 odds.
(Which by the way, matches the great 80% re-order rate.)
What is really frustrating is when someone gets good or even greatresults, yet they decide they can't keep drinking it due to the cost, ortaste or whatever. (etc….go figure….but that's a topic for anotherday!)
Comment on dosing: everybody gets hung up on how much to drink, and the"loading doses."Or how much for what type of problem, etc.
Do NOT get caught up in that!
There is a very simple and common-sense approach to it:
If you are not getting much out of it, increase it.If you feel its doing something you do not like, decrease it for awhile.
Tahitian Noni Juice is self-dosing.
There is no toxicity at any amount,,,you can not overdose.
I personally know very sick people who have, at times, drank a bottle aday.
We hand people the juice guidelines and tell them these are onlyrecommendations. Its not a drug or a medicine,,,,you don't have to playdoctor with dosing.
After all, it is JUST NATURAL JUICES!.
Other tricks you can suggest to people before they give up:
1. Both Dr. Heinicke and Dr. Solomon say to drink lots of water duringthe day will increase the effectiveness of Noni.
2. Suggest spreading it out during the day, instead of only once ortwice. People who are trying to quit an addiction use this method.
3. The Hoa vitamins truly do complement Noni and were designed byMorinda's scientists with that in mind,,,(Hoa means "companion"). We'vejust started this and it really does potentiate the juice!
4. Make sure they haven't quit taking their regular medicinespre-maturely, that's not the goal.
We try to educate people enough so they drinkenough of it and drink it for enough time.
If after you've gone down the list with them on all the potentialchanges it might have given them, and they truly feel it hasn't done athing for them, and they have truly been drinking it for 2-3 months,then the only thing left to mention is the preventative benefits thathave been proven with Noni and see if that 's worth it to them.
After that, say, "Darn, I'm sorry that you have fallen into that smallpercentage of folks who don't notice an improvement,,,,do you want tosee if your other family members or friends fare better?
There is still an 80% chance they will!"
Last thought: Unfortunately, I think the 80% rule applies even to thosewho we care about the most and who need it the most. But to put it inperspective, 80% is still incredible.
Stay Juiced!

NATURES HEALING MIRACLE
Actor & celebrity Danny Glover, says:
"I began drinking the top selling brand of noni Juice without any knowledge of the benefits nor had I read any testimonies, just on the advice of a friend.
After a few days of consuming the juice, I noticed I slept better and I felt stronger, more refreshed and more alert. I keep Noni on the movie set while I am filming. I also drink it before I exercise knowing it will enhance my exercise regimen. Noni Juice gives me an overall sense of well being."
------------------------------
SO WHAT IS, "NONI JUICE"?
Doctors, other health professionals and millions of others who have been drinking and using it topically for over 5,000 years consider it to be a true "Natural Healing Miracle!"
All Noni Juice comes from the Noni fruit which is grown in the tropics on the Morinda plant, It can grow as high as 20 feet, has large evergreen leaves and small white flowers.
These flowers develop into a small bumpy, smelly, bad tasting fruit.
Noni has been has used for food, for cloth dye and most importantly, for it's medicinal properties. While the fruit is the most used, it's roots, bark and it's leaves are as well.
Noni's medicinal properties have been very effectively used by people in India/Asia for over 5,000 years! And by Islanders in the South Pacific for over 2,000 years!
While noni is a natural fruit, it is, just like anything else, affected by the soil it is grown in what minerals are in that soil and the climate where it is grown.
Noni grown in younger volcanic islands (like Hawaii) have higher levels of potassium, lead and mercury than are found in the soil of older islands. (Like France Polynesia.)
Noni's quality, and thus it's effectiveness, is also influenced by other factors such as when how, when it is picked, processed & even what it is bottled in.
The highest quality noni is from the older volcanic islands of French Polynesia.
(Research shows the highest quality and the most effective Noni is grown
there.)
To me, a natural juice like this requires no more research than would be required to walk into a store any buy any fruit juice there!
(Which is none.)
Knowledgeable doctors and other medical professionals, plus hundreds of thousands of others from all around the world, all agree the following two statements are 100% true.
"Noni Juice is the single most important natural healing remedy ever yet found!"
And,
"It's ability to treat an extremely wide variety of ailments is unsurpassed!"
Here are JUST a FEW of the things this real MIRACLE does.
Noni Juice has RESTORED people eyesight! (Iris Idis) It effectively treats glaucoma and macular degeneration.
I am 71 and I USED to wear glasses to read!
It greatly reduced the aches and pains of old age. I recover from injuries faster. I do not any where close to the muscle soreness I used to get after a weekend of playing beach volleyball.
It's taken a nurse with AIDS in her brain and who was to die within TEN days from it, to completely recover.
It's has made some peoples need to have heart surgery unnecessary. It repaired one person's heart so much a scheduled heart transplant was NOT needed.
It has repaired peoples lungs so they no longer need to have any extra oxygen. It has heals the bites of recuse spiders and others. It eliminates the pain of hot grease burns and heals them quickly. It improves sleep and dreams.
It has stopped cancer in it's tracks and shrank tumors.
It helps those with Autism, Allergies, Migraines and Diabetes. It speeds healing & reduces scaring.
One way to PROVE it works (aside from burning yourself on purpose or letting a brown recluse spider bite you or your having surgery) is to measure your blood pressure and Cholesterol levels.
Then drink at least 2 ounces a day for 30 days and measure them again.
Oh yea, more than just a few people, who have started drinking it for other reasons, found their desire to smoke decrease until they no longer had any desire to smoke at all.
(And this happened fairly quickly. Around a month.)
It not only works on both the insides and the outsides of our bodies, it does the for ALL pets, livestock, animals, mammals, birds and reptiles. (For all I know, it may work on fish as well.)
AND if more people would drink enough it it long enough, hardly anyone, IF anyone, would ever stop drinking it.
--------------------------------------------
I understand there are now around 300 companies who sell their brands of it.
The company who really, over nine years ago, started all of this & who brought it to the world, who, by far, still sells the most of it, made this Natural Healing Miracle even better by adding 10% other natural fruit juices to the pure noni juice.
These added juices not only improved it's taste, they also enhanced it's already fantastic healing abilities.
So their Noni Juice is a combination of NATURAL FRUIT JUICES & NONI JUICE from the older volcanic islands of French Polynesia.
(Research shows the highest quality and the most effective Noni is grown
there.)
Their company IS the fastest growing and most successful mlm IN HISTORY with over THREE BILLION Dollars in sales in ONLY nine (9) years.
To put it in prospective, it took Microsoft over eight (8) years to reach ONE Billion in sales.
AND if you are not completely satisfied with your results, they refund 100% of your money,
(Even if you buy, drink/use a whole case of it (4 one liter bottles)
Now there is NO way a company could reach the levels of success they have and not have their noni work to the satisfaction of nearly every person who buys it!
While I'd like to earn (badly needed) money with Noni Juice, my having to put up with fools and/or those who question what I say, it is just not worth it.
IF I could afford to buy it at retail, I would quit the company so no one could say the only reason I rant and rave about Noni Juice is because I sell it.
(I also rant and rave about "Baby Plus" as well as products from Oil Extreme and I have nothing to do with them.)
Were I desirous of playing the game, and doing what I should to succeed at mlm, (and even with the companies pay plan)
I could be earning many thousands a month just as ALL FOUR of those directly above me are doing and have been doing for years.
(All four quit their GOOD jobs to do this full time and all are earning much more than they were in their jobs.)
So, I will stop ranting and raving on it for now. If you want to know what it has done of me, millions of others and ALL animals, mammals, reptiles and birds, please let me know.
I thank you for your time.
Please, Take Care!

"I began drinking the top selling brand of noni Juice without any knowledge of the benefits nor had I read any testimonies, just on the advice of a friend.
After a few days of consuming the juice, I noticed I slept better and I felt stronger, more refreshed and more alert. I keep Noni on the movie set while I am filming. I also drink it before I exercise knowing it will enhance my exercise regimen. Noni Juice gives me an overall sense of well being."
------------------------------
SO WHAT IS, "NONI JUICE"?
Doctors, other health professionals and millions of others who have been drinking and using it topically for over 5,000 years consider it to be a true "Natural Healing Miracle!"
All Noni Juice comes from the Noni fruit which is grown in the tropics on the Morinda plant, It can grow as high as 20 feet, has large evergreen leaves and small white flowers.
These flowers develop into a small bumpy, smelly, bad tasting fruit.
Noni has been has used for food, for cloth dye and most importantly, for it's medicinal properties. While the fruit is the most used, it's roots, bark and it's leaves are as well.
Noni's medicinal properties have been very effectively used by people in India/Asia for over 5,000 years! And by Islanders in the South Pacific for over 2,000 years!
While noni is a natural fruit, it is, just like anything else, affected by the soil it is grown in what minerals are in that soil and the climate where it is grown.
Noni grown in younger volcanic islands (like Hawaii) have higher levels of potassium, lead and mercury than are found in the soil of older islands. (Like France Polynesia.)
Noni's quality, and thus it's effectiveness, is also influenced by other factors such as when how, when it is picked, processed & even what it is bottled in.
The highest quality noni is from the older volcanic islands of French Polynesia.
(Research shows the highest quality and the most effective Noni is grown
there.)
To me, a natural juice like this requires no more research than would be required to walk into a store any buy any fruit juice there!
(Which is none.)
Knowledgeable doctors and other medical professionals, plus hundreds of thousands of others from all around the world, all agree the following two statements are 100% true.
"Noni Juice is the single most important natural healing remedy ever yet found!"
And,
"It's ability to treat an extremely wide variety of ailments is unsurpassed!"
Here are JUST a FEW of the things this real MIRACLE does.
Noni Juice has RESTORED people eyesight! (Iris Idis) It effectively treats glaucoma and macular degeneration.
I am 71 and I USED to wear glasses to read!
It greatly reduced the aches and pains of old age. I recover from injuries faster. I do not any where close to the muscle soreness I used to get after a weekend of playing beach volleyball.
It's taken a nurse with AIDS in her brain and who was to die within TEN days from it, to completely recover.
It's has made some peoples need to have heart surgery unnecessary. It repaired one person's heart so much a scheduled heart transplant was NOT needed.
It has repaired peoples lungs so they no longer need to have any extra oxygen. It has heals the bites of recuse spiders and others. It eliminates the pain of hot grease burns and heals them quickly. It improves sleep and dreams.
It has stopped cancer in it's tracks and shrank tumors.
It helps those with Autism, Allergies, Migraines and Diabetes. It speeds healing & reduces scaring.
One way to PROVE it works (aside from burning yourself on purpose or letting a brown recluse spider bite you or your having surgery) is to measure your blood pressure and Cholesterol levels.
Then drink at least 2 ounces a day for 30 days and measure them again.
Oh yea, more than just a few people, who have started drinking it for other reasons, found their desire to smoke decrease until they no longer had any desire to smoke at all.
(And this happened fairly quickly. Around a month.)
It not only works on both the insides and the outsides of our bodies, it does the for ALL pets, livestock, animals, mammals, birds and reptiles. (For all I know, it may work on fish as well.)
AND if more people would drink enough it it long enough, hardly anyone, IF anyone, would ever stop drinking it.
--------------------------------------------
I understand there are now around 300 companies who sell their brands of it.
The company who really, over nine years ago, started all of this & who brought it to the world, who, by far, still sells the most of it, made this Natural Healing Miracle even better by adding 10% other natural fruit juices to the pure noni juice.
These added juices not only improved it's taste, they also enhanced it's already fantastic healing abilities.
So their Noni Juice is a combination of NATURAL FRUIT JUICES & NONI JUICE from the older volcanic islands of French Polynesia.
(Research shows the highest quality and the most effective Noni is grown
there.)
Their company IS the fastest growing and most successful mlm IN HISTORY with over THREE BILLION Dollars in sales in ONLY nine (9) years.
To put it in prospective, it took Microsoft over eight (8) years to reach ONE Billion in sales.
AND if you are not completely satisfied with your results, they refund 100% of your money,

Now there is NO way a company could reach the levels of success they have and not have their noni work to the satisfaction of nearly every person who buys it!
While I'd like to earn (badly needed) money with Noni Juice, my having to put up with fools and/or those who question what I say, it is just not worth it.

I could be earning many thousands a month just as ALL FOUR of those directly above me are doing and have been doing for years.
(All four quit their GOOD jobs to do this full time and all are earning much more than they were in their jobs.)
So, I will stop ranting and raving on it for now. If you want to know what it has done of me, millions of others and ALL animals, mammals, reptiles and birds, please let me know.

Your Personal Safety
The world we live in today is much safer than the one known by your parents and grandparents. Even considering the constant bombardment of news to the contrary, the government and industry have taken some major steps to protect us all. In almost everything we do, we are surrounded by protection based on safety experience from the past.
You'll be safer - - but only if you have a strong feeling for safety. Why? Because many of the safety factors developed to protect you function only if you do something about them. Do you buckle your seat belt every time you get in the car? Do you cross the street at crosswalks instead of jaywalking? Do you walk or jog on the left side of the road so that you are facing oncoming traffic? These are just a few of the things that you know and can do something about.
We all must acknowledge the fact that we bear some of the responsibility for making our environment safe and safety is thinking about other people, too. Because in this safety awareness, we can take steps to help others. For instance, a jagged piece of metal and certain types of broken bottles on the street can cause tire problems to cars. Broken glass on the beach might also send someone to the hospital for stitches. When you take time to clean up things such as broken bottles, etc., you're taking a big step toward protecting others.
An accident is something that happens to you and to others. It's easy to think that these accidents just happen. Buy they don't. They're not just bad luck or bad breaks that come to you out of nowhere. An accident is never supposed to happen. It isn't planned and it isn't deliberate. Accidents are caused!
An accident can be caused by an unsafe condition. Look at your automobile. It can be a typical example of an unsafe condition. Bad brakes and unsafe tires, faulty headlights, loose steering, and, yes, even dirty windshields and side windows can cause accidents, and they are all unsafe conditions. And along this same line, we need to consider unsafe acts as also contributing to the cause of accidents. These are not "conditions." They are what you, or someone else, does or doesn't do. A good example is jaywalking. You know it's dangerous to walk out between parked cars to cross the street, but it's easier than walking down to the next corner.
Both unsafe conditions and unsafe actions exist, and either one can cause accidents. But you can put the two together, as well. That car with the poor brakes, and all the other unsafe conditions, isn't unsafe at all until someone starts to use it. It's the act of using that causes the accident. Oh sure, the car was at fault, but the driver of that car was the ultimate cause of the accident.
You will find many unsafe conditions in your daily life, but most of them become truly unsafe based on your own actions related to them. What causes you to act in an unsafe way? Is it carelessness? Poor judgement, were you at the wrong place at the wrong time?
There's never a total absence of risks in our lives. Risks are voluntary actions and can be managed. Emergencies can be met and handled, but it takes know-how and constant awareness. What you can't prevent, you can usually compensate for or protect against.
Safety experts classify accidents in four broad categories: Motor vehicle, work and job related, home, and public. The public category excludes motor vehicle and work accidents in public places. It covers sports and recreation (swimming, hunting, etc.), air, water, or land transportation excluding motor vehicle and public building accidents. On the average, there are 10 accidental deaths and about 1,000 disabling injuries every hour during the year. About one-half of the deaths occur in motor vehicle accidents while about one-third of the injuries occur in and around the home.
It's not hard to imagine adding yourself to the accident statistics. Any day of the week, you'll be swamped with stories in the newspapers and on television about the many tragic accidents going on all over the country and it seems to be getting worse all the time. And in every case the victim was somebody who did not plan or expect that they would be hurt or killed.
In a matter of seconds, everything you were ever going to do and be can be snuffed out. At the least, you suffer pain and inconvenience from an accident. At worst, an accident kills or damages you for life.
Safety saves you, but it does more than that. Mix each safety ingredient with all of your day to day activities. An use common sense in everything you do.
Safety in your home is a combination of mind and matter. You mind must be constantly aware of the home safety dangers. The matter is the safety condition of your home. The safety condition of your home isn't a case of rebuilding things to make it safe. It's more the disposal of dangerous items, and a case of good housekeeping. A safe home has a place for everything, and that along with the right mental attitude about keeping those things in place is just good housekeeping.
The home is the most frequent place for injury accidents to occur, and it is second only to motor vehicle accidents for the number of deaths in the country today. Family members are busier than ever rushing in and out so it's easy to understand how careless mistakes are often made.
When you read the daily newspaper or watch newscasts on TV, you'll see that home accidents can be classified in two major ways. There are things that can totally disrupt your entire community - - such as earthquakes, tornadoes, storms and floods. And then there are those kinds of accidents that are centered in your own home, and not involving the whole community. These are things like fires, local earth sliding, flooding and wind damage.
You will need to consider both types when thinking about safety at home. For the community - wide disasters, you may or may not receive any outside help for a considerable period of time, and you must be prepared to survive on your own home resources. With the second type, your home may be destroyed, but some help should be there from the outside, early in the experience. Most cities and communities have some agencies and organizations in place to assist the public in times of severe emergencies. It is wise for everyone to do a home safety check on a regular basis and get the family members involved. Naturally, every family needs to develop its own plan because every house and every family is different.

SAFEGUARDING YOUR FOOD
Every year, an estimated 7 million Americans suffer from cases of foodborne illness. Some cases are violent and even result in death. Of course this is commonly known as "food poisoning." The culprit is food that has dangerously high levels of bacteria due to improper cooking or handling.
Food safety is usually taken for granted by the buying public but everyone's attention was recently directed to food poisoning involving some meat that was undercooked. It was determined that the problem never would have happened if the meat had been cooked properly. E.Coli 0157.H7 is a potent virus, but it can be completely destroyed when the meat is fully cooked.
It is important for consumers to take an all-around safety approach to purchasing, storing and preparing both traditional and new meat and poultry products. Ultimately, consumers and food handlers bear the responsibility for keeping food safe once it leaves the store.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, about 85 percent of foodborne illness cases could be avoided each year if consumers would handle food properly. The most common foodborne illnesses are caused by a combination of bacteria, naturally present in the environment, and food handling mistakes. Ironically, these are also the easiest types of foodborne illnesses to prevent. Proper cooking or processing of raw meat and poultry kills bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.
When you're out, grocery shop last, take food straight home to the refrigerator. And never leave food in a hot car! Don't buy anything you won't use before the use-by date. Don't buy food in poor condition. Make sure refrigerated food is cold to the touch. Frozen food should be rock-solid. Canned goods should be free of dents, cracks or bulging lids which can indicate a serious food poisoning threat.
The performance and maintenance of your refrigerator is of the utmost importance. Check the temperature of your refrigerator with an appliance thermometer. To keep bacteria in check, the refrigerator should run at 40 degrees F; the freezer unit at 0 degrees F. Generally, keep your refrigerator as cold as possible without freezing your milk or lettuce. When you prepare food, keep everything clean and thaw out any frozen food you plan to prepare in your refrigerator. Take it out of the freezer in advance and place it in the refrigerated section of your refrigerator. Always wash your hands in hot soapy water be_fore preparing and handling any food as well as after you use the bathroom, change diapers, handle pets, etc. Remember, too, that bacteria can live in your kitchen towels, sponges and dish cloths. Wash them often and replace the dish cloths and sponges you use regularly every few weeks.
Be absolutely sure that you keep all raw meats, poultry and fish and their juices away from other food. For instance, wash your hands, your cutting board and knife in hot soapy water after cutting up the chicken and before dicing salad ingredients. It is best to use plastic cutting boards rather than wooden ones where bacteria can hide in grooves. Don't take your food out of the freezer and leave it on the kitchen counter to thaw. This is extremely dangerous since the bacteria can grow in the outer layers of the food before the inside thaws. It is wise to do your marinating in the refrigerator too.

Growing Old Gracefully
Today the average duration of human life in the United States is just about 70 years for women and a little less for men. Conservative experts believe that man is really build to last about 100 years; and that medial advances and more healthful living habits could bring this about within a generation or two.
What good is it to add years to life if we do not also add life to years? In fact, unless people learn to enjoy life and to grow old gracefully, the extra years may be an additional burden.
From 18 to 30 years is roughly the period of highest physical and mental vigor. The experiences we accumulate from the day we are born help us to conserve and to use our physical and mental abilities more wisely, so that for some time after 30 years we are able to perform increasingly well in spite of slowly slipping vigor. After age 50 the increasing accumulation of experience is no longer able to offset the now more rapidly energy and therefore aging begins to assert itself noticeably and in many ways.
A number of things may come about gradually such as people who have not used eyeglasses before may at some time in their forties need them for reading, and in the fifties they usually need bifocals.
Also in the forties, people are likely to put on weight because there is a general slowdown in the oxidation rate of the aging body tissue. Also we tend to do less strenuous work with no reduction in the amount of food consumed.
And in the fifties there is likely to be some loss of hearing. Usually the high-pitched tomes go first, so words with the sounds of F, S, and TH are confused. A hearing aid may be needed in some cases.
Aging is generally accompanied by a loss in physical and mental flexibility. This is noticed in a tendency to become stiff in the joints; in slower comeback after a strenuous trip, excessive "night life," or hard work; in slower healing of wounds, sore muscles, and sprains; in slower recovery of pep after an illness; and in greater difficulty to adjust to new people, new places, and new ideas.
Men, especially, will notice loss of muscular strength. There will be increased unsteadiness and delicate muscle movements will be more clumsy and the stride in waking will become shorter. The conclusion now is that the performance and ability of the elderly has long been underestimated and can be greatly improved by a proper diet, sleep and exercise along with rest and relaxation.
Many elderly people tend to lose their joy and will to live and chronic worriers may mope around and withdraw. Medical authorities now say that laughter is one of the best medicines for the elderly. You can always keep your sense of humor tuned up by surrounding yourself with pleasant and interesting people. Just act your age and don't be afraid to laugh at yourself even when no else is around.
Now that we all know the role that physical activity plays in our lives, remember to do something physical every day. The joints must be used or quite simply they will tighten with age creating that stooped worn out appearance we so often associate with getting old. Keep yourself flexible and fit on an exercise program consistent with your ability.

More Pain Than I Care to Deal With...
It has been raining and colder and even though I stated that I only felt a twinge of pain when the rain first started that was just the beginning. My muscles in both my arms were twitching so bad that I was not able to do anything on the web for 3 days.
On another note I did some quick research about pain blogs and found some very interesting bits of information. It seems that the DEA has not been satisfied with the useless War On Drugs so they have started going after legitimate doctors out to help the pain suffers of America.
I ask is that fair? No but then what can we as citizens of the good old USA do about this? We can write to our government representatives. We can post on blogs that we agree or disagree and offer a better solution.
Here is just a couple of web sites that you can visit
The doctor was not cruel enough

Technology Advances
It was over 10 years ago that I had surgery on my left elbow to help reduce the pain from what the doctors called a pressed ulnar nerve which in layman's terms that means a pinched nerve. In this case it was (is) the ulnar nerve sometimes referred to as the "funny bone". When the "funny bone" a.k.a. the ulnar nerve is bumped hard enough you may experience intense pain for a few moments but it passes. When the ulnar nerve is compressed by bending the arm this causes the same reaction and you can imagine how many times per day the "funny bone" gets activated. It isn't pleasant but thanks to technology advances the second surgery on my left arm has been reduced by more than 40% when there was no expectation of that sort of relief. The best test of this surgery is yet to come when the weather changes drastically to extreme cold & wet.
Thank you Technology and The Veterans Administration facilities in White City Oregon and The Veterans Administration Hospital in Portland, Oregon for taking the time, effort and money needed to perform the procedure.
The care that both of these facilities have shown me makes me proud to have served my country. When I began my requests for help I started in Southern California at the La Jolla California Veterans Hospital and while I did not get everything I "wanted" the way I wanted I did receive excellent care from a Hospital that is so over worked that it is not funny. Once a doctor finishes a tour there the chances are they will be ready for any of the Veteran Facilities around the country.
On the way home from the Portland Oregon VA Hospital I came across another vet who had recently had brain surgery and was in transiet to get to where he lived. Once again the VA steps up to the plate and takes care of its vets. Thank you.
It was over 10 years ago that I had surgery on my left elbow to help reduce the pain from what the doctors called a pressed ulnar nerve which in layman's terms that means a pinched nerve. In this case it was (is) the ulnar nerve sometimes referred to as the "funny bone".

It is True...
The pain has been reduced by the surgery. It rained and I only got a minor twinge of pain in advance. Granted the pain is there especially when I overwork my arm but as long as I take breaks and don't over stress my arm I should be just fine.
The pain in my shoulder has been reduced as well but I still keep a good supply of Watkins products on hand to help with the minor aches that comes from getting older and slower. Be sure to check out all the wonderful pain reducing products at http://www.reduceyourpain.com

Reduced pain
The surgery seems to have worked better than I could have imagined. Every day my arm grows stronger and less tender. It is still going to take time for the healing to really sink in but I think I am finally free of the morphine.
I am still in discomfort with my left shoulder but through therapy which includes exercises at home that should improve as well and then I can chuck the oxycodone for good. I am still going to apply for my medical pot license, because I'm sure my arm & shoulder are feeling better because of the very nice weather that we are experiencing currently. Not sure how long it will last though then it will get really hot.
I continue to use Watkins products to help soothe my muscles so that the pain medication can do it's work. Be sure to visit http://www.reduceyourpain.com today and see for yourself why so many people totally rely on Watkins products. 100% customer satisfaction or your money refunded.
I look forward to hearing from others what they do to ease their chronic pain. Does the weather affect your pain? Do you keep your home really warm all the time? I do. Drives my friends crazy because my place is always so warm so in the summertime when it is boiling they think I must really feel good because of the heat. As a matter of fact I've got a sweater on this morning.

A Note to Veterans in Oregon
I have had to travel to Portland (Northern Oregon) from Eagle Point (Southern Oregon/California border) more than once now and needed a place to stay in order to be on time for an early morning appointment at the Veterans Hospital. I've stayed at The Alladin Motor Inn 3 times now and the rooms are very nice and the staff is especially helpful, kind, & courteous. I could not ask for much better than the service that we have received at The Alladin Motor Inn in Portland Oregon. Way to go. As a veteran I publicly thank this establishment and the employees for doing such an outstanding job.
Aladdin Motor Inn 8905 SW 30th Ave, Portland, OR 97219-3956, phone: 503-246-8241,
toll free: (800) 292–4466
The biggest reason I have not been posting is that I had to have surgery on my left arm. This left me a bit sore. I'm feeling much better now. On a scale of 1 - 10 and 10 being the worse pain I was experiencing an 8 - 9 almost daily and now it has dropped to 5 - 6. I don't expect my arm to hurt much throughout the summer though. My hand still becomes numb and I have to rest it often in order to type. Other than that I feel I am on the road to recovery. How do you reduce your pain? Don't forget that Watkins Products are great for relieving minor aches & pains.

Good Morning,
It is another lovely day and even though I am in a lot of pain I am not going to let that stand in my way of having a good day. Here is some interesting news that was sent to me.
Subject: Cancer news
Cancer update: Johns Hopkins = Cancer News from
Johns Hopkins:
1. No plastic containers in microwave.
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.
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 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, Corning Ware 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 Saran wrap 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.
This is an article I believe you should forward to
your family and friends-- anyone who is important in
your life!

Saturday Morning
It has been nearly a week since I last posted. I've been a very busy person and in a lot of pain. I went to Portland, Oregon to see the doctors at the VA hospital and they confirmed that I need a 2nd operation on my left arm. This is not going to be fun. We had a pleasant drive both ways. The VA takes really good care of me. Unlike the VA that I was used to down in California. However I'm sure everything changes.

Beautiful and Sunshine
The pain continues anyway. Now my right arm is giving me fits. This means that I've got to start laying on my back only again and I don't look forward to doing that. Pain level is 8. I've taken a morphine pill but I don't expect it to work for at least 1/2 hour. Don't forget that Watkins products are good for those minor aches and pains. http://www.reduceyourpain.com When you visit be sure to download the free ebook "101 tips for preventing and treating your headache naturally"
Pain is no fun. Please tell me about how you manage your pain.

Quite Windy and Chilly
Today is quite windy and chilly. My pain level is quite high today even though I've taken my morphine this morning. Pain Level 7 and that is only because of the morphine, relaxation and Watkins Pain Relief Spray. I also keep it very warm inside my home. It is 79.7 degrees inside currently and 55 degrees outside on my porch so I've turned the heat down. I'm expecting company this morning and not many people likes it so warm. The sad part about the Watkins Pain Relief Spray is that I am almost out of it but fortunately I've got some Watkins White Liniment that I plan to pour into the spray bottle and use that way. It looks like I am going to have to start using my voice to text program really soon as it is getting very difficult for me to type. Once I have the operation next month it is going to be even more complicated for me to type. Be sure to check out all of the Watkins Products on my web site http://www.reduceyourpain.com

Reduce Your Pain I'm scheduled to have surgery on my left arm for the 2nd time in 10 years. The purpose of this surgery is to reduce the degration of my arm so that I can continue to use my arm and hand. Being curious and having had 2 of these surgeries done I went looking for information about Ulnar Nerve Transpositions. I found the entire procedure with graphic photos located at http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=143&topcategory=Ar. Don't worry the photos are not the actual surgery although I did find a site that shows the surgery as it is performed. I thought that this might be a bit much for most people so I have not included it but if you would like to know more about that site then just leave me a comment along with your email address and I will send it along to you.
Welcome to my blog. I hope to provide some valuable information for chronic pain suffers everywhere. My name is Thom Dickey and I have been suffering from chronic pain for a very long time now. I can recommend Watkins products to help ease your suffering. It may not cure the problem but the products are backed by a 100 % ironclad money back guarentee that you will be satified with the products. To learn more about the Watkins line of products focused on pain relief go to http://www.reduceyourpain.com
I hope to hear from people who suffer from chronic pain and what they do to find relief.
