Doctor"!
Artificial Sweeteners
Can Make You Fat
Researchers at Purdue University have found that consuming artificial
sweeteners, such as saccharin may impair your body's natural ability
to monitor the number of calories you are consuming. The researchers
found that we have an unconscious ability to control the number
of calories you consume which helps to control overeating. Artificial
sweeteners cause us to lose that ability.
The rats in this study ate three times as much food when they had
drinks sweetened with saccharin vs. when they were given drinks
sweetened with real sugar. So...anybody for a Super Big Gulp at
7/11?

Are
Your Kids About To Be Drugged?
In 2002, President Bush created the New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health. This commission is now planning to screen every school child
for ADHD, depression, social anxiety disorder and behavior problems.
Sounds like a good thing? Maybe not. Are all 52 million of our kids
so screwed up that they all need to be tested? I remember taking
a Psych 101 class in college. Every disease I read about I thought
I had. Just because you read through a list of symptoms and think
you have them does not mean that you should immediately start taking
drugs.
Putting millions of more kids on drugs is not the answer. What
can you do to stop this with your kids? It's simple. When you get
a consent form from the school, refuse to sign it. Without your
permission, they can't test your child and they can't drug them.
So...say thank you but no thank you.

Older
People Need Social Contacts
A study published in the British journal Ageing & Society found
that older people who were stuck at home with a lack of contact
with other people had emotional difficulties. To this the researchers
have found that being alone is also a health hazard.
This lack of contact with others contributed to elevated blood
pressure, higher mortality rates, as well as, depression and suicide.
So...if you have an elderly parent or friend, make sure they maintain
social contacts in their lives.

Prostate
Treatments Have Similar Outcomes
Research published in Radiotherapy & Oncology compared the prostate
cancer treatments of surgery, external beam radiation or implanting
radioactive seeds with 1,800 patients over seven years. They found
that the outcomes for all three treatments were excellent for all
the patients so long as the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate.
So... pick the treatment you prefer with confidence.

Teens
May Actually Not be Completely Responsible
MRI brain scans were performed on healthy children and teens in
order to track the way the brain matures from ages 5 to 20. The
National Institute of Mental Health and the UCLA researchers found
that a "higher-order" brain center, such as the prefrontal
cortex, doesn't fully develop until young adulthood. This means
reasoning and other "executive" functions are the last
to mature. So...when your teenager is being unreasonable, it may
be because reasoning hasn't come on line in that part of the brain
yet. Just hope they'll hit 19 or 20 real soon.

Why
A High Protein Diet Works
There's a new understanding of why a high protein diet works. Research
published in Prevention reported a study conducted at Yale University
where 12 women were given one of three liquid lunches that had the
same calories. One liquid lunch was pure protein, one was pure carbohydrate
and one was a mixed drink that contained both. At dinner, each person
ate alone in a room and had access to an all-you-can-eat buffet.
The women who consumed the high-protein lunch ate 31% fewer calories
from the buffet than the high-carbohydrate group. The people who
had the mixed drink cut their calories 20%.
Since the key to successful dieting, is to cut calories, a high-protein
lunch will let you do that without your feeling deprived. So...eat
protein at lunch and then enjoy what you select at dinner.

Light
Therapy For Healing Was Developed By NASA
There is a light technology that was developed by NASA for use in
the space program which is now being use in health care. There have
been 113 medical studies published about using infrared light as
a treatment method.
The Journal of The American Medical Association has reported that
it is being used to treat skin problems, all kinds of pain, wound
healing, hemorrhoids, certain brain tumors, diabetic peripheral
neuropathy, depression, swelling, leg veins, restoration of sensation,
acne, PMS tendonitis, fibromyalgia. As a matter of fact, there is
nothing so far that it hasn't help treat, and best of all, there
are no side effects.
One of my staff used the light device on her leg which would cramp
during the night. She did one 30 minute treatment and for three
weeks she did not experience another episode.
For a reliable light therapy device you can contact Bruce Nuchols
at bjbruce@exis.net or call him at 757 422-0842. Tell him I said
for you to contact him.

Kids
Still Say The Darndest Things
These two statement were from kids talking about love and god
The first is from a 4 1/2 years old:
"Mommy, I finally figured it out. God kissed himself and here
we are! That's how the whole thing got started! It's like a wedding
and we are all in it. It is like we are God's bride!"
This one is from a 10 year old:
"We came here to practice love. Sometimes that is hard to do
when someone takes your toys and doesn't give them back."

Voting
For Women - It Wasn't Always Allowed
Most people don't remember that only 87 years ago women didn't have
the right to vote. As a matter of fact women were arrested and beaten
for picketing for the right to vote. The "Night of Terror"
occurred on November 15, 1917 when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse
in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists
imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White
House for the right to vote. For weeks, the women's only water came
from an open pail. Their food--all of it colorless slop--was infested
with worms. When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger
strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat
and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like
this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press.
Some women won't vote this year because they have carpool duties,
need to get to work or feel their vote doesn't matter. Remember
women had to fight for what we take for granted. Whether you vote
Democrat or Republican, take part in the process and take the time
to vote.
