"Getting People Well" A Note From the Queen Happy New Year! Subscriber, A sad incident happened to me and my family this Christmas Eve. Our two dogs, Lela and Buddy, got out of our back yard were having a great time exploring the neighborhood, ran across the street to smell more smells and were hit by a car. We rushed them to the Vet Emergency but there was nothing they could do. They will be missed. On a happy note! After opening presents on Christmas Day, and after the excitement had slowed down we were still feeling the loss of our loved ones, my husband, Tye, suggested that we just get in the car and drive to Oregon. So we did! We packed our bags and were out of the house in two hours. We had no plans and went by the seat of our pants. It was one of the most enjoyable trips we have taken. The country side was beautiful, it was just what we needed. Classes We will be offering educational classes to educate you, and get people well. Please take your time to fill out this survey.

Feature Article SOFT DRINKS LINKED TO HEALTH PROBLEMS ~ "Soft drinks are the single greatest source of caffeine in children's diets; a 12-ounce can of cola contains about 45 milligrams of caffeine, but the amounts in more potent soft drinks can exceed 100 milligrams - a level approaching that found in coffee," according to Marion Nestle, author of "Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health." ~ "One liter of an aspartame-sweetened beverage can produce about 56 milligrams of methanol. When several of these beverages are consumed in a short period of time, (one day, perhaps), as much as 250 milligrams of methanol are dumped into the bloodstream, or 32 times the EPA limit," writes Carol Simontacchi, author of "The Crazy Makers: How the Food Industry Is Destroying Our Brains and Harming Our Children." ~ "The aspartame contained in many diet soft drinks, when consumed in large quantities, may contribute to the development of brain tumors, according to Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., author of "The Safe Shopper's Bible." He said: "Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used extensively in soft drink containers. PET bottles can release small amounts of dimethyl terephthalate into foods and beverages." ~ "Aspartame contains methyl or wood alcohol, which can affect fetal brain development," according to Dr. Earl Mindell's "New Vitamin Bible." When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME also known as "NutraSweet", "Equal" and "Spoonful" converts to Formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants) The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis. People were being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is! DEFORMED FETUSES IN MICE A REALITY Another interesting study was done in Japan, by Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, and published under the title, "The Effects of Foods on the Bones of Mice". The experiments involved sustaining mice with feed containing calcium and phosphoric acid in varying ratios. When the amount of phosphoric acid was increased beyond a certain limit, bone deformation occurred in the mice. Future increase of phosphoric acid in the food of pregnant mice yielded 40 deformed fetuses out of 100. The meaning of these results are self-evident. Too much phosphoric acid can cause birth defects. Does it happen in humans? Why take the chance! HOW TO DISSOLVE YOUR TEETH "A government warning was once issued to the manufacturer of a certain world famous refreshing soft drink for its' suspected effect on the bones of children due to the large amount of phosphoric acid contained in it. Pour coke over an extracted baby tooth or a 10-penny nail and see it totally dissolved in a few days!" Dr. Clive McCay, working at the Naval Research Institute, placed extracted human teeth in cola drinks. Within two days, the teeth became very soft, and the enamel surface lost much of its' calcium. Rats, well fed, but given nothing to drink except cola beverages, after six months, had their molar teeth dissolved down to the gum line. Years ago, when Dr. McCay reported the rat experiments before the Delaney hearing on chemicals in foods, a lawmaker reminded him that the soft drink industry represented huge economic investments. ANOTHER PROBLEM: CARMEL COLORING & BUBBLES AND FIZZ - NOT INNOCENT? Cola drinks contain caramel coloring, which according to some researchers, has genetic effects and is a cancer-causing suspect. Polyethylene glycol is used as an ingredient sometimes. Glycol is used as antifreeze in automobiles and as an oil solvent. Perhaps you have noticed that pouring cola drinks on your windshield in a snow or ice storm will keep the windshield from freezing over with ice. The bubbles and fizz in soft drinks can potentially burn insides; this is cause by the phosphoric acid and carbon dioxide. The phosphorus in the acid upsets the body's calcium-phosphorous ration and dissolves calcium out of the bones. This can eventually result in osteoporosis, a weakening of the skeletal structure, which can make one susceptible to broken bones. Also, the phosphorus fights with the hydrochloric acid in human stomachs and renders it ineffective. This promotes indigestion, bloating and gassiness in many individuals. Carbon dioxide is a waste product exhaled by humans, but they ingest it when they drink cola drinks. METABOLISM CAN BE ALTERED: Heavy soft drink consumption can interfere with your body's metabolism of iron and diminish nerve impulse transmission. Sodas may contain but are not required to disclose -such ingredients as: Ethyl Alcohol Sodium Alginate (possibly hazardous for pregnant women) Brominated Vegetable Oil (found harmful to vital organs of animals and considered a health risk to heavy consumers of beverages containing it.) Caffeine KIDNEYS VS. COKE: A REAL PROBLEM FOR MANY Dr. Earl Mantel in his book, "Unsafe At Any Meal," says, "for anyone over forty, soft drinks can be especially hazardous because the kidneys are less able to excrete excess phosphorous, causing depletion of vital calcium." Can a person live without kidneys? NO. Is it easy and/or cheap to get a kidney transplant? NO. A three year study of over 1,000 men with a history of kidney stones showed there was a clear-cut difference in the group's experiences. There was much less renal colic in the men who had avoided soft drinks. Of those who continued to use soft drinks, there was also a big difference in outcome depending upon the type of the soft drinks consumed. Soft drinks acidified with phosphoric acid were the worst offenders. Colas of all kinds, of course, are well known for their high phosphoric acid content. BLOOD PRESSURE ALTERATION: Diet sodas that are low in calories are high in sodium. Six ounces of regular Pepsi-Cola has 5 mg of sodium; Diet Pepsi has 31 mg (but who drinks only 6 oz. at a time now?), Classic Coke Cola has 10 mg sodium. High blood pressure is a very common ailment in our society; I wonder why! And who shouldn't have high sodium in their diets? Anyone with high blood pressure. Elevated levels of sodium may cause high blood pressure. My viewpoint is that any condition where limiting sodium intake would be helpful should be considered by individuals who have high blood pressure. About The Queen Teacher-Speaker-Lifestyle Coach.
