WHAT ABOUT VITAMIN PILLS ?

VITAMIN PILLS

What about vitamin pills?
Not only vitamin C but all synthetic vitamin in the form of pills are harmful.

First, most vitamins are compounds formed by plants in the process of biosynthesis under the influence of Sunlight and Moonlight. Vitamins in plants are in forms (pro-vitamin) that are easily assimilated by the human body. Plants also contain all mineral salts and other compounds (some still unknown) that help in full assimilation of vitamins.
Second, artificial vitamins are non-organic crystalloid substances treated as foreign by our body. They are assimilated with difficulty or not assimilated at all (especially in the case of metabolic disorders). This is why many people notice that their urine has the same color and smell as the vitamins. There are frequent cases of rejection in the form of nausea, weakness, or itching.
Third, one of the side effects of taking synthetic vitamins is increased appetite. This happens because the body, in order to assimilate the vitamins, needs additional amounts of mineral salts, carbohydrates, and proteins. Unlike plant-based foods, synthetic vitamins do not have these ingredients, and the body instinctively looks for more food, which leads to obesity.
In most people’s mind, vitamin C has the opinion of a harmless supplement. However, in recent years physicians started noticing more side effects that are caused by vitamin C overdosing. It is common that people take vitamin C in liberal amounts, sometimes 0.14-0.21 oz (4-6g.) a day, as a remedy against flu and some viral infections, while the recommended amount is about 100mg a day.
Scientists in many countries agree with the opinion that taking synthetic vitamin C does not increase immunity against cold, and its large doses make the symptoms of some infectious-allergic diseases (especially rheumatism) more severe.
The most dangerous effect of high doses of vitamin C is increased coagulability of blood, leading to blood clots. Another side effect can be formation of stones from oxalic acid and uric acid in our kidneys and bladder.
Synthetic vitamin C destroys other vitamins. This is why patients who get shots of vitamin B2 are advised by physicians to stop taking vitamin C during that time.
Large doses of vitamin C interfere with the production of insulin by the pancreas in diabetics and cause an increase of sugar level in their urine and blood. Recent search shows that vitamin C overdosing slows the transmission of nerve-muscle impulses, causing increased muscle fatigue and lowering the coordination between eyes and muscles.
It is a good idea to consult your physician about the effects of synthetic vitamin C.
Natural vitamins found in large amounts in fruits and vegetables are most beneficial . It is not possible to overdose them.

Prayer from Mysti blog (click)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can; and
the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His
will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

I envision my loved ones healthy, happy and secure.

Dear one, I remember you always in my prayers.

“Prayer is as necessary to happy and successful living as breathing is to physical bodies.”—Mary L. Kupferle.

Prayer is a way of life, a way to move through life with peace in our hearts.
Prayer is a tool which we use to build our awareness of God within and to bring ourselves closer to God. And it is this awareness of God’s presence that keeps us poised and centered in times of challenge.
God is unlimited source of health, wisdom, and abundance for all.

Daily Word is as aDaily Bread.

My comfort with God.

God is my comfort and my strength.
Beloved, whatever you may be going through, I am there with you. Through triumph and joy, through challenge and change, I am with you to comfort you and to give you strength.
I am with you wherever you go, guiding you through every experience of your life.
My strength is your strength,
My light is your light,
My life is your life.
Throughout every hour of the day and night, I am with you as love and peace.
When you call to Me, I will answer. I recognize your voice and know what is in your heart. I am the very foundation of life.
Accept My love, peace, and inspiration, for they are yours. Accept the good that I have prepared for you, and know that you are loved unconditionally and eternally.

“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.”—Isaiah 66:13

THE FIRST PARENT HAD TROUBLE TOO

Kevin said: So you've decided to have a child !


Every parent knows well:
no matter what you tell your child to do, he will always do the opposite.
*********************

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His kids. After creating the heaven, the earth, the oceans, and the entire animal kingdom, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to them was
"Don't".
To the animals, He never said, "Don't" - he hurled no negatives at the elephant - but to the brightest of His creatures, the ones who get into Yale, He said,
"Don't"."
Don't" what? Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
"Forbidden fruit? Really? Where is it?"

Is this beginning to sound familiar? You never realized that the pattern of your life had been laid down in the Garden of Eden.

"It's over there," said God, wondering why He hadn't stopped after making the elephants.
A few minutes later, God saw the kids having an apple break and He was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" the First Parent said.
"Uh-huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I don't know," Adam said.
At least he didn't say, "No problem."
"All right then, get out of here! Go forth, become fruitful, and multiply!"

This was not a blessing but a curse:
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. And so, they moved to the east of Eden, which was still the good part of town, and they had your tipical suburban family: a couple of dim-witted boys. One of these boys couldn't stand the other; but instead of just leaving Eden and going to Chicago, he had to kill him.Thus the pattern was set and it never has changed.

But there is reassurance in this story for those of you whose children are not doing well.

If you have lovingly and persistently tried to give them wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble handling children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

PLAYING THE PIANO

Playing the Piano Might Make You Smarter
"It is becoming more and more clear how important all the arts are in brain development."

Instrumental Improvement
A 1999 study conducted at Columbia County Schools in Harlem, Georgia, confirmed these results.
Joyce M. Cheek and Lyle R. Smith polled eighth grade musicians on their musical history—whether they'd had individual instruction,
group instruction, and what instrument they played.
The researchers then compared this data to scores on the Iowa Basic Test, and standardized skills test, and found that those students who had experienced individual instruction showed better results than those who had had group instruction.
Furthermore, they found that those who played the keyboard—as opposed to singing, horns, drums, and a number of other instruments—had the best scores of all.
Most researchers are at somewhat of a loss to explain the phenomenon. Dr. Lyle Smith says bluntly, "I just don't know how to explain it. It's really puzzled me why the keyboard over other instruments."
Cheek, a math teacher at Harlem High School, says that this research does not necessarily suggest to her a panacea for our math and science woes, though it is hopeful nonetheless. "While giving every child keyboard lessons isn't going to fix all our problems," she says,

"it is becoming more and more clear how important all the arts are in brain development. Since we know now there is a link between the arts and math and science, we need to consider these things in future curriculum development."

Rauscher, now at the University of Wisconsin, Osh Kosh, whose forthcoming article in Early Childhood Research Quarterly documents this phenomenon in kindergartners, is of the opinion that it's merely the incidental design of the instrument that accounts for the differences. She believes that a student can achieve the same things on another instrument.
To her mind, musical literacy is the most important thing in improving cognitive abilities; it's just that the piano makes that literacy more accessible. "It's likely because the keyboard lays it out visually," she says.
"Learning on the piano may just be a more direct route to this literacy."

"It is becoming more and more clear how important all the arts are in brain development."

Can we live long and healthy life?

Much has been written lately about ways to attain long and healthy life.
Today I would like to turn our attention to the fact that we know very little about our brain.

The Aging Brain

All my life I have observed how American society treats the elderly and how all people (young and old alike!) seem to think that older people are rundown, useless, thoughtless creatures of no further worth. Older people seem to act out this stereotype as if it is expected of them. Some retire not just from work, but from life itself.
The attitude I really bridle against is "I’m too old to learn new things. My brain just doesn’t work like it used to."
Eager to find a dissenting opinion to this myth, I discovered a book in the library called "The Mature Mind" by Gene D. Cohen, M.D., Ph.D. Subtitled "The Positive Power of the Aging Brain" it sounded like just the ticket.

The Aging Brain
***************************
New findings on the adult brain establish two principles. First, the adult brain continues to grow and develop throughout our entire life. Second, brain development in adulthood is shaped mostly by outside stimuli. This new thinking means that we can do healthy "workouts" for our brains, as well as our bodies!

Tips to Improve Aging Brain Function:

-Use it or lose it!
-Keep your brain's "library of experience" in regular, vigorous use. Volunteer to work in the community or join the Peace Corps.
-Engage in new activities. Take up painting, become a tutor, go back to school! The possibilities are endless.
-Do crossword puzzles, play word games or cards to strengthen the synapses between brain cells in memory transmission areas.
-Physical exercise can increase mental abilities 20% to 30%, according to recent studies.
-Journal writing and working with your hands to build or create can help as well.
Spend time in the company of family and friends. The older brain thrives on social contact.
