Dash For Power

Men and women feel thei hair is their reigning glory, their lioness mane that shows the world how and why our eyes are vibant, our step full of bounce and life, our stride confident, the tide with us, and we are on our way. It all shows in how we carry ourselves, and the pride of the herd takes his place as is her right.

And while we so rapsodize, we will introduce this new category, as we have been noticing many articles that do point out how the hair is one of the first to show suffering if we eat hurried meals, skip snacks as we need them, shorten our hours of sleep. Your draggy, unhealthy smoke filled hair will show and scare you if you look too quickly in the mirror in the morning. So, what can we do? We can read on, and stay with us while we screen through many of our existing science findings about how hair is a protein and needs much keratin, which is supplied very much through the B complex, but in many other ways that bring in all so many vitamins and minerals, and too much of some are tixic, B and C are water soluble as are safer others. Flax helps hair growth, so many, we will begn to assemble some of these articles. Luckily, with basketball, a man can look handsome with a smooth dome, but for any of you ladies suffering even times of stress, we hope this series of articles helps. Hair’s to your health! Groan.

We had discussed the issue of the search for happiness and bliss before, and it seems appropriate to discuss this further given events out of Tibet. We know that disciples of Guatama Buddha (560-480 B.C.E.) had found their way north into Tibet east down through Asia and up into China, and west as far as Greece and Egypt during the life of Buddha, say around 500 B.C.E. We have discussed how amazing the arrival of the usual three wise men from the east would bring offerings, and search for others with the eyes of diamonds. This is still the practice in Tibet when the holy leader approaches, and enters death. They may spend years, each three must agree after they have looked in the eyes of the new babies of Tibet.

And when they find those diamond eyes, they bow to their new leader on earth. And since Buddha died in 480 B.C.E. and Socrates far to the west was born in 469 B.C.E. this does seem to indicate that when Socrates became the blossoming of democratic, more thoughtful modern ideology about free speech and a belief in a serene divinity over looking all. At his death by a poisoned chalice of hemlock, Socrates spoke gently to his students Aristotle and Plato the he felt he was going to a better place.

And he was sure those who had done this to him for speaking his honest thoughts, and seeing too well, would not be there. Aristotle told this to his student and prize pupil Alexander of Macedonia, who incorporated this into his life. In fact, Alexander risked his life while his soldiers built Alexandria to be the first port at the Nile, to become greater than Athens, yet the supply depot for never ending tropical foods for Greece and north which knew winters.

In contrast, the Rome that evolved after Alexander, held no concept of holy men from the east. And up until they returned with a diamond eye check and then gifts to baby Jesus, they caused not a fuss. So the charlatan behavior of any studies we see of Rome lacks the depth, the soul, the heart and divinity that any holy men they came by, meditating peacefully at some north African oasis as from Eden, his head was soon on a tray. Oh dismay. Have we evolved to this day? Athens again? Or Rome around the world, again and again.

Will we evolve? Is that really what happened? Alexander found that holy man. We know that Egypt owes it to the Isrealites to at least allow them to capture that fresh Nile at Alexandria, you all plenty thrive. Like the River Colorado, if you pass through a desert, you do not splash wastefully into the salty sea. No way, Jose. And as here, Sam, you parted the salty sea, wandered a hopeless triangle for forty years, got ten rules but no map. Sam, we have the map for you. You black hatted ants went right out of a sand storm into a red ant’s nest. And there you itch, calling them a bitch, until into Armaggaden you twitch.

So, science proves Buddha, that the most blissful lives are experienced by those who count their blessings, do acts of kindness daily, savor the joys of life, thank a mentor, learn to forgive, ask for forgiveness, stay close to friends and family, take care of your body, develop strategies to cope with stress and hardship. Those to me, brought up Christian, now more inclined to the quiet gentle Buddha, creates in a person someone deeper to doing good, and seeing self gratifying people as rather pathetic, usually frantic and quite deeply lost.

Like all those hollow Romans in contrast to those thoughtful, noble Greeks, one must go deeper inside, and be much more a boy or girl scout than a corrupting selfish doomed shell of a deeply evolved, happy, blissful kind of person. We choose, and live with our thoughts, words and deeds. And the diamonds, or coal in our eyes, tells it all. I doubt St Peter goes through a list, he looks into your eyes and says Nirvana Door One or Hell’s Elevator Down. PS-the elevator floor is missing,I hear.

Examples of happiness as being deeper than self gratification can be seen in the lifestyles between more God loving democratic Greece with self centered Romans with horses as gods.

This healthy lifestyles list of the most healthy and enjoyable foods from us to you via the learnings of the ancients, and very new, wise surveyors of such. So, first you wish to scan, like the warrior in you and observe. This will take days, come and go, print a list off, get all these into your habits. I am still working on this, and you want to also.

Meanwhile, we can try and taste and see if some new healthy foods will mix and match with the healthy foods & supplements you already are familiar, to become the best that we all can be. You will see I structured a list, as was my advise at that time. I may undo it, but that is process, you are interest in substance. That is, what are these wonder foods that all equal spinach you say.

Our spiritual adviser Popeye still prefers his spinach, but some of us on heart medicine must take care at not too many darkest greens, so powerful, but so potent in Vitamin K that our blood could be as thick as some skulls. You may want to check with your doctor if you are on heart or other medications. I love, but must avoid kept and spinach due to my heart medications.

You will be left to your own devices to test to find new foods to eat. So, here we are then: you want to eat many fruits and berries. That means just that. Eat them frozen, or rather after you have unfrozen what you need, but always frozen is OK, OK? But fresh is always best. Unless they were picked unripe and have gone bad by the time their old truck has reached you.

Now we are into the royalty: Blueberries,Raspberries, Strawberries, Cranberries,Choke berries, Dark Plumbs.

Below that hierarchy come Red Grapes, Papaya, Oranges, Mango, Red Delicious Apples, Kiwi, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew Melon, Lemons,Limes, Bananas, Pomegranate, Pear, Peaches, Green Grapes, Green Apples,Black Currents, Red Currents, Gooseberries, Gage,Tangerine, Mandarin, Mulberry, Quince, Passion Fruit.

Golden Delicious Apples have half the potency of red. Then comes Coconut, Yellow Plum, Loquat(A Japanese Plum), Cherries.

Then we have packaged foods that are good for you: not many, but here we are. Pitted Prunes, Raisins, Dates, Figs. The Most Healthy Herbs and Spices in the World are: Saffron, Bay Leaf, Rosemary, Paprika, Black Pepper, Oregano, Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Mint, Celery Seed, Basil, Cinnamon, Tarragon Leaves, Dill Weed. Curry Powder, Cayenne Pepper and Tabasco Sauce have Capsicaine, as does horseradish.

All have anti oxidant power. Coriander, Chives, Caraway Seeds, Sweet Marjoram, related to Oregano, Chervil(Best fresh), Chamomile, Sorrel, Angelica, Anise, Balm, Juniper, Hyssop.

As nuts, grains and supplements are another story we will return with more about nuts, with more details about which are best.

We know darkest is best in fruits and vegetables now, So there are few surprises, as Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Red Native Corn, Red Cabbage, Yams, Sweet Potatoes, Tomato (OK, it is a Fruit), Red Peppers, Golden Cream Corn, Yellow Bell Peppers, Orange Bell Peppers, Black Olives, All Root Crops such as Cabbage, Beets, Rutabaga, Okra, Sugar Beet, Parsnip, Parsley, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

We mention Sea Kelp as high in vitamin K. Cauliflower, Videlia Sweet Onions, Green Onions, Celery, Beets, Beet Tops, Red Potatoes With Skins, Garlic, Green Bell Pepper, Rhubarb, Kelp, Cauliflower, Celeriac (Knob Celery), Chinese Artichokes, Horseradish (Invasive, plant in pots) Jerusalem Artichokes, Kohlrabi.

We now have former exotics grown nearby such as Boc Choi, Acorn Squash, Butternut Squash, Marrow, Zucchini, Watercress, Brussel Sprouts, Shallots, Leeks, Atichokes, Endives, Salsa, Scorzonera, Calabrese, Courgettes (Zucchini and self blanching celery grown in blocks), and Cucumber.

This covers so many types of fruits and vegetables that you can consider as a complement to your meat or bean dishes., Those most healthy foods require further study. But here, one healthy surprise that is somewhat of a fruit is your daily treat of dark chocolate. Really. So heat up a bit, pour it over some fruit bits or whatever and however you choose. To your good health!

In our search for wisdom and healthy living, we have checked our lists so carefully, now we have the healthiest fruit and vegetables for the Queen’s navy. And us. Study, mix and match, see what blends best. Since we are considering only placing the finest of life enhancing foods inside us, and into our minds and souls, so we need to look at ways to simplify.

Can you imagine Buddha or Jesus in a line with a huge buggy of modern cheap junk from China? Or Henry David Thoreau? Or Gandhi? Did they not see this as mindless folly, the ways of empty lives to empty graves. We will list a few of our oldies are besties sites, where what you buy is so old it is now going back up in value, unlike the fake lead lined junk in those buggies all the way from China.

Are they making any more old Ming vases? No, but millions of fakes, you should get in line and get one. no you should not. Get ahead of the curve and get some Mings on your mantle, Mickey, and a few decades ago, you so aglow with health from mother earth, and now a knock upon your hearth. It is rich Susie Wing who wants her great grandma’s Mings who sit with your things along your mantle. Be inscrutable, Mickey, add 3 or 4 zeroes to your simple retirement heroes. But your only understand yes, not her other words for less.

Enjoy good health and great wealth.  Derek Dashwood

As I had written this for another site, it seemed even more appropriate here on my own, to you. As we watch the numbers tick on the World Clock, it seems that healthy lifestyles continue to be coming to an end and now we can see. We can count off each second to the tenth power how much the temperature of the earth is increasing. This information from the United Nations, which is gathering information from every weather station on earth mostly now all on line. So we know when the seas will begin to turn all us coastal folks into members of the I love Venice club, and open our gondola concessions.

But that doesn’t solve the problem of all those jets in the sky, that the numbers will double and double again. Soon each rich new Chinese will want to see Paris again. Dear gasping mother earth says take the train, not the plane. So here is our loose diamonds blue pie in the sky vision, we present this to you. If you agree, send a message or three, jets are fueled by kerosine, which is that trail up there that spittles on you and me. So each day you get home, and have been out for a stroll, if the day has been cloudy it may be a jet roll. so have a good shower when you get there, and light not a candle to your kerosine hair.

Your hair is sprinkled with stardust so kerosine pure, or dirty to be honest, and that is for sure. So here is a plan, that the Economist ran. Sprinkle the globe, with a high tech railroad, under the sea between Siberia to we, and work on your project serene, while the transport gets you from Rio to Rome, or Moscow or Nome, London to Cairo, Johannesburg, up to Istanbul, then zip on back home. Look at a map, and imagine who might object. And work with those factors, and we have a fast track, that we must exclaim Such diamond thinking! . Again and again. Laptop all the way to Spain.

Rare diamonds of minds in China have begun, at which France and Japan have excelled, to fast track trains. Although also building some freeways, which America and Britain have tried. If China chooses the Anglo American vision on this and builds freeways for one billion cars, while they extend their coal burning plants, we will all soon live in a hellish gray skied hot place, in which we all become sicker. China privately admits it is losing perhaps ten percent of it’s productivity on sickness and lost time, and this is climbing, as is the global clock temperature chart.

The route is here. Or do we want to be noble, blind, so full of our manifest destiny and sense of being chosen, or that our jihad is more holy than your crusade, or that your ancestry in north Ireland creates in me a need to kill, to revenge that bloody hand. My father did extensive genealogy of our family, nobles, buffoons, and arrogant fools. I had an Irish American mother, but my English Canadian father once told me we were entitled to have in our English coat of arms the bloody hand of English in north Ireland.

I had to ask. It seems that when King James offered that northern quarter of Ireland to which ever English could put their hand on the soil first. And, speaking of fanatics, apparently we have in our blood that one ancestor of mine saw another boat was beating to the beach, he chopped off one hand and threw with great force, and it did land on the beach, which now made it his, and he was in charge. King’s Han Chinese hall monitors rules. To you, King James, from both my Irish heart and even my English soul, you should not have made such an intrusive, arrogant law.

And if we need to take a boat to Dublin, or even a non jet clean aircraft from Dublin to London, some how some more English and Moors and Christians and Jews and and blacks in south Africa could at least visit by train. Which would be a healthy change, and mighty refrain. Blue skies, nothing but blue skies, all day long. Is not possible. New coal plants to build. New jets to fly and spray us, coal in our lungs, kerosine in our hair. Do you have sum ting against progress, you did all this, we can too. Oh, where is that train, convert dear Boeing and we can soon tram to Spain. And that is my refrain, I will say again and again.

The lessons of history are clear. When your buggy whips are not good any more, remember you are in the transportation industry. Less planes, more trains, same companies.

A story going the rounds of the net has brought me an alert from an engineer friend about the perils of diet soda. He has quit and sent a detailed story from a doctor who outlined how the sodium and chemicals inserted in diet soda to make the claim no sugar is creating a poisonous stew that millions drink in some vague sense that it feels refreshing and must be good or they would not sell it, right? Wrong, and we have been there before. The examples in this story were of several women who had MS or some other health problem, but had a habit of drinking diet sodas.

In this story, which seems plausible to me, they reported they were climbing out of their wheelchairs within weeks of avoiding diet sodas. One might hope that in so doing they might have eaten a kiwi or apple instead, and put nutrients, not poisons, in their body. What amazes me in this day and age that with all the information about, and the health advisers who must have been advising these people that the way to health is to only put healthy foods and drinks in your system: they had utterly ignored.

To do otherwise is to imperil your health. They must have heard those stories, and so do we all, and yet continue our foolish behaviors until we are in a wheelchair, a burden to all. Come on folks. We all must row our own boat, and carrying on willfully against all known knowledge defies rules of self respect and carrying your own weight. Some have made their brains so sluggish with the trans fats and toxins of prepared foods they are no longer thinking straight.

Healthy foods, water, teas, even coffee with milk and honey is good. The latest science health studies keep confirming natural foods are best and those ideas are like loose diamonds . Any junk pop or the chips and junk food all go together as naturally as becoming an unhealthy couch potato. That may not have been the case with these folks, although I suspect some of that came into the equation.

But it explains that lot of unhealthy people in line at the grocer, when you see a cart loaded with prepared foods, pops, junk, nary a fruit or vegetable to be seen. When that person gives you a dirty look for making your point with your eyes, tough. Who is going to subsidize her extensive hospital stays and medical visits, while she continues her ways. All we can do is keep talking, pointing out the obvious. Maybe yet the fat lady will look in our basket and ask what all that fresh fruit and vegetables is for. Eating. You should try some, some time.

We would all be better off. For me, luckily, I was not brought up on pop or junk, although like any child I loved sweets. But a plum is sweet. I think for me, and for you who realize you will walk more easily when you have less weight punishing your joints, is to do what I have done. Hold up in front of you the soda pop you will never drink in one hand, and a plum, or kiwi, or your favorite fruit in your other hand. Say goodbye to one, say hello to the other, and live happily ever after. What a rare diamond of an idea.

Use this example every which way: out the door, your exercise machine, or your couch. A wise inspiring new health or science book rather than the escape novel. Get real, fill your lungs with fresh air, your gut with slim foods, your thoughts with good deeds, and smile as if no one notices but you; are you are the true Rare Natural Diamond .

If you wake up, or arrive at work, and are faced with a grump: try these, one at a time

• Rather than sulk off to your cubicle, says Brace Isaac as reported in Toronto’s Globe & Mail, try one of these alternatives to any negative reactions:
• 1. Directly Address the Situation: this takes guts and is always immediately the most threatening, and makes your heart pound the most; it takes guts, but gives you the most direct answer to your fears: have you screwed up, or is boss/honey just mad or not feeling good, but not at you. Then you know. If they are really angry with you, be the first to hear it, and then do all you can to make it right, apologize, ask for better suggestions on your next attempt at whatever…
• 2. Divert with Good News: How well do you do Pollyanna? If you can scratch some real good news out of your what’s happening basket, this might be the time to bgin to brain tease on some what-if ideas talks, that involves him/her. Maybe you pull together a panel group to carry an idea, give him/her credit; win, win.
• 3. Ask if there is something you can do, and show you mean it. Some times a thanks no, if followed up with an email or tip on some thing, earns you a private reply, and the beginnings of a more personal level of respect and earned friendship. Never rush, but allow it be known you are available, very much a concerned and involved member of this marriage/work team.
• 4. A small gift. Any small personal things, some times, can make you all laugh, and relax. Use your imagination, based on your circumstances.
• 5. Stay away. You know when. If the bear is raging, snarling at everyone, kicking the dog, best slip out the back door, go smell the rose. Come back in when it is quiet, show surprise at all the blood and mess, offer to help clean up.
• Next, we will talk about marketing, but that may involved even friendly people. So, good luck, take care. Watch your back while you try to achieve the finest for you and the group. Enjoy. relax. Some right people not your fair efforts. Smile, even if with you mouth closed so the missing tooth doesn’t show. Enjoy. Win wisely. If your vital person is in a rage, they are all in their emotional brain: stay in your logic brain, step back, walk away; that clearly shows a raging person that a wise person they respect is turning away. Realize your not smiling look into their eyes is making a very powerful point to a bright person who may start to calm, realizing they are doing it again. This is not the first time. But you could help disarm it by not allowing such inappropriate behavior to allow you to lose you own personal integrity. Breath deeply in wise silence, your eyes on your abuser. At some point, right prevails.

Many studies have shown that Flax Oil is essential daily

• Flax oil, an essential fatty acid, has the ability to allow nutrients to pass through our digestion and into our body as helpful foods.

• Studies have shown that lacking some fatty essential acids and particularly Flax Oil with diet causes many of the nutrients to leave the body un absorbed.

• Which is why we will consolidate some studies at this site. You will notice we feature Flax Oil by a trusted source on our Supplements site, and we do recommend it. You must keep refrigerated. Flax seeds at the health food store need to be broken open, as it is the oil that has the heart saving ability to help clean the circulatory system, and Barleans does that and more for our entire body. I spoon the Flax Oil over a salad, or an already cooked item. Here’s to your Good Health.

People who eat high protein eggs rather than carb high cereals for breakfast lose weight quicker.

• The office was dark and cold. Angel was back east, checking in with the Chief. Family, they were catching up on much, and were also preparing a new spread on healthy recipes. So many of grandma’s recipes can be adapted more scientifically with higher nutrient value, and yet with a newly discovered old plant as a vibrant cancer or heart fighter, we adapt, taste test, and learn.

• To have grandma say, “It’s not quite the same”, we will take as a compliment, grandma. By extracting some, most, of the animal fats and replace with plant or fish oils, so many studies build or rebut previous “knowns”. Which is why we are creating two healthy lifestyle web sites, one for updated information and historic reflection on healthy living; the other you will soon be able to link to will take and incorporate that into a new, or existing recipe. So you can imagine Angel’s kitchen experiments when we send over news that some new jungle lettucy plant is a powerhouse of nutrients. That’s all fine, but we are not going to sit around a table of healthy food that by each, tastes yucky,… to find a way to yin and yang IT into something yummy tasting. All coming soon to a computer in front of you: stay tuned.

• One such is the question, what is best for breakfast? All studies confirm breakfast is most important meal of the day. We are “breaking” our night long “fast”, and our body needs a belly full of healthy energy-creating foods. Eggs are loaded with protein. But. We all have heard so much that the egg yolk is loaded with “bad” LDL chlorestorol, and it is. It is also a powerhouse of other nutrients including large amounts of “good” HDL, and also we find there is “good” and “bad” LDL. The “bad” LDL is small, sticky, the bad stuff that sticks to the arteries. The good HDL, and the “good” LDL, which is light and fluffy, also joins the HDL in stripping the fatty bad LDL platelets away.

• Extensive study of many studies recently in a new diet book, and in Men’s Health discusses this at length, which we will over several articles. the absolute proof does not seem to be in, new questions have been raised, and we should imagine that extensive and large studies on this are underway.
• But, for a change these past three days, my breakfast has been 2 pieces of fat free ham and 2 boiled eggs, with some 2% fat yogurt, and lightly stewed tomatoes and a yellow pepper, an hour ago. And I feel great, with milk in my coffee.

• Otherwise, the bowl of high fibre grains and berries with milk allowed me my protein, almost, but too much sugar rush from those powdered portions of grains, even though they were whole grain.

• Keep checking with our doctors, don’t go to extremes either way, but these studies seem to show that a higher protein low carb diet may be in fact healthier than the high carb cereal low fat. We need that fat, but it can be plant or fish oil or fat, or our body can’t fully process the foods coming through our systems. I have wanted to share this news with Angel and the Chief, but until we get on the conference call, I’ll keep checking these facts again, so many scientists are behind progress in other areas, I am noticing, God hasn’t created a Heavenly Directory for all to plug into for the actual factual latest, so we keep reading, studying, and doing the sensible, healthy things. Like those stairs I just climbed, rather than the lift. But when Angel isn’t there, coffee not purring,…

Read on, fair lad. Write jes the fact’s, Jack. Derek “Eggs” Dashwood

The human liver is one of the only organs that can rebuild part of its dead tissue. To a point.

• And we all know that beyond that point of no repair the liver loses its elasticity and beguns to turn into more like a dead old dried out sponge beyond repair in the full process of cirrhosis, a chronic liver diseease in which normal liver tissue is replaced with scarred, nonfunctional tissue.
• “People who are at risk drink 15 or more drinks a week, or regularly have more than 5 at a time”, says Mark Mailliard, M.D., director of the hepatitis C program at the University of Nebraska. And this doesn’t happen only to choronic or binge drinkers, although they are the greatest sufferers of this unnecessary early death.
• Your liver is really just a sponge full of chemicals, and a compounds called glutathione (GSH) helps keep everything in check. Not only does GSH detoxify things Tylenol (which is why drinkers should NEVER take Tylenol, the mix becomes toxic). GSH is essential for liver regeneration. Lab rats unable to create GSH are also unable to grow back liver tissue. Shelly Lu, M.D., says “we are not sure how it works, that’s the black box.
• In Europe, SAM-e, a supplement that converts to glutathione in the liver can bring your GSH back to normal, and is actually prescribed for liver disease. The standard dose there is 1.2 grams (g), or about 3 tablets per day.
• If you are a drinking person, you should also be taking folic acid and a B-vitamin complex daily, because they are essential in the formation of SAM-e and glutathione. Our Supplements site and our wider Amazon store top right, has the excellent Nature Made Super B Complex. As vitamins B and C are safe in that they are water soluable, our systems eliminate too much as harmless yellow urine.
• So, take care, cheers but eat well, take all these if you are vulnerable. We want you around for many more “Auld Lang Times among friends,keep at till we learn the words.
