Cancer Cure: Natural Cures May Heal More Than Is Commonly Recognized

The human body cures cancer every day. Cancer is not a tumor. A tumor is a mass of mutated cells that are the result of the body not ridding itself of old cells when new cells are produced. Cell production is a natural process that occurs every day to replace worn and used up cells. Most cells divide at a controlled rate and die off when they are supposed to (atoptsis), but when so many new cells are created there are some errors. These damaged cells divide at a faster rate than normal. This is cancer. About a million of these occur every day in the average body, but the body’s defenses eliminate the damaged cells, preventing or curing a potentially cancerous tumor. In short, cancer is simply a process where the mutated cells grow faster than the body’s ability to kill them. Eventually, these cells form a tumor.

Thanksgiving: What Do You Have To Be Thankful For?
Americans of all shapes, sizes, colors and ethnic heritages will come together on Thursday to celebrate that most American of Holidays, Thanksgiving. Originally conceived to celebrate the first year the Pilgrims survived in the New World, and coinciding with the final harvest of crops before the onset of winter, Thanksgiving has come to mean a celebration of all things American. The turkey, an all-American bird with the misfortune of having delicious meat, is the centerpiece of most holiday feasts. Accompanying the bird are other American staples of holiday fare; pumpkin pie, mince meat pie, stuffing for the bird (the variety of which is a regional thing), sweet potatoes, green-bean casserole, cranberry sauce and a host of other choices.

Thanksgiving Turkey Cajun Style: Deep Fried Bird is the Way to Go

The turkey season is here and I don’t mean turkey hunting season. We are rapidly approaching the holidays where turkey is the featured main course, particularly on Thanksgiving. Turkey is so good, healthful and low cost, I don’t know why people don’t eat the delicious bird at least a couple of times a month. In one part of the world they do; in Cajun country turkey is not limited just to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but enjoyed at many family cookouts as well.

Healthcare Reform: Is The “Fix” In?

What is it about politicians that they all think they have to “reform” or “change” the systems they were elected to administer to . . . and a lot of things that they were not elected to manage, like businesses and healthcare.  The bloated bureaucracy in Washington, DC has a history of mismanaging nearly everything they touch, so what makes them think they can manage the healthcare of the USA, or General Motors, or Chrysler, or AIG, or CIT?

Exercise Can Extend Survival: Physical or Fiscal, Exercise is Good For Business

The jury is in and the verdict rendered. Exercise, even for the “oldest old” is good for you and may extend you life. According to a study done in Israel, the three year survival rate for 85-year-olds was three times higher for those who were active than the inactive group. Active was described as “more than fours hours of exercise weekly,” and consisted of walking and other forms of fitness. The study also concluded that previously inactive people of all ages benefited from starting an exercise regimen. Those who were part of the test reported also that the “active group” experiences less depression and loneliness. They also had an easier time performing routine, daily tasks.
