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!

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.
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
The pain relief network
