Natural News Special Report Secrets of Nutrition


I received the following as an e-mail today and trust the information presented. I'll order the book, read it, and add to my vast health library.
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear readers,

Today I'd like to share with you some very personal secrets for transforming your health and living a disease-free life. You see, even though I'm known as the Health Ranger today, just a few years ago, I was the average American: Overweight, exhausted, suffering from chronic pain and on my way to becoming diabetic. I was eating junk foods, avoiding exercise, and taking prescription drugs. I looked and felt terrible.

Desperate for solutions, I began to read a book on the dietary effects of sugar. This was my first introduction to the link between nutrition and health, and it opened the door to a universe of fascinating information that has now become my lifelong mission to help promote.

Almost all chronic diseases are preventable, you see, including cancer (90% preventable), type-2 diabetes (almost 100% preventable), depression, heart disease, and literally hundreds of others. But only if you learn and apply the fundamental laws of nutrition!

This is what I'd like to share with you today: The nutritional secrets to a life free of chronic disease. In "Seven Laws of Nutrition," I've put together seven essential nutritional habits showing you the fundamentals to not just preventing but actually HEALING chronic disease. Following these guidelines will also give you the nutritional foundation to reach a healthy body weight, eliminate joint pain, enhance energy and performance and even overcome mental fatigue or cognitive decline. See it now at: http://www.truthpublishing.com/7laws.html

Those are bold statements, but when you finally understand the power of nutrition to activate the body's self-repairing capabilities, you'll recognize these claims as being "matter of fact" statements. The body, simply put, can heal itself of nearly all chronic degenerative diseases or conditions in much the same way it heals a cut or a sprain. The human body is a self-repairing system, after all. What you have to do is give it the right nutritional tools so it can unleash its fullest healing potential. And that comes from natural medicines found in the world of nutrition.

Having experienced a remarkable health transformation myself, ultimately eliminating several different disease conditions in my own body, I am passionate about helping other people make changes too. In "Seven Laws of Nutrition," you will learn:

* How to make a delicious, healthy breakfast shake to start your
morning out right
* The documented correlation between poor nutrition and diseases
* How to obtain optimum nutrition from foods and supplementation
* Which typical Western foods are causing an astronomical rise in
obesity and diabetes
* 20 Superfoods that transform your health
* Where to find quality herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements
* Why even obese Americans are suffering from malnutrition
* Top health-promoting foods and how these improve your well-being
* Why most diet foods are just as bad for you -- or worse -- than
regular varieties
...And much more

Whether you want to prevent chronic illness or get the nutritional support to beat a disease you've already been diagnosed with, "Seven Laws of Nutrition" gives you potentially lifesaving information that lets you take charge of your health outcome. It's available in both downloadable and hardcopy editions. Learn more at:

To your health,

Bad dream

Last night was bitterly cold here in the Carolina's!! I must have been sleeping cold and it prompted a bad dream. I vividly remember the details!! I was in (perhaps) a resort area with many parking lots scattered through wooded, snowy areas. I was searching for my KIA but could not find it. I had lost my purse so would not be able to unlock the vehicle. Freezing cold, I wandered from parking lot to parking lot looking for my car and purse. ** A psychiatrist would probably have an elaborate explanation for the dream. I'll leave the explanation with outside low temperature of seventeen degrees (at 4 AM). And only twenty-six degrees right now (11 AM). The weatherman says we will struggle to get to 38 degrees at 4 PM. The nearby space heater, with automatic built-in thermostat, is alternating between 69 and 70 degrees. (I'm still in my pajamas and a warm robe; I didn't get up until 10.) I'm not complaining!! I know this is mild compared to weather across the northern part of the nation. I'm counting my blessings!!

Wow!! I found this "blog" on Google

Was it Gomer Pyle (on TV in the 60's) that frequently said "Surprise, surprise"?? To my surprise, I found this "blog" on the first page of a Google search for Lorraine Frantz Edwards!! I knew my name was listed for the books and articles I wrote, but delighted to see that my current labors can also be found. That's a "plus" after a miserable, sleepless night: my allergy symptoms are back with a vengeance!! Now I wish customers, and potential distributors, would find my web site. I've spent thousands of dollars to promote my nutrition business!!

Olympian Michael Phelps Caught Smoking Bong, Media Pressured to Kill Photos


Regarding super Olympian Michael Phelps, read a super excellent article (IMHO) at Natural News. ** Honestly, I'm extremely upset by this young man's behavior!!!! **** I was glued to the TV during the Olympics; I cheered him every inch of the pool, and every appearance!!

Vegetable-Cashew Stew Recipe

By Dr. Ben Kim on January 26, 2009 Healthy Soups

This super healthy stew is made unique by adding a handful of raisins and whole cashews. Sounds funny, I know, but once you try it, I trust that you'll agree that all of the ingredients go together beautifully.

This vegetable-cashew stew is rich in a number of phytonutrients, most notably, beta-carotene and indole-3-carbinole. Translation: eating plenty of this stew should decrease your risk of just about every chronic disease that we know of.

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups finely chopped carrots
2 cups finely chopped green cabbage
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into bite-size chunks
1/2 cup whole raw cashews
1/2 cup raisins (dark)
1/3 cup rice, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
6 cups vegetable broth
Sea salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Cook carrots, cabbage, and onion in olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; stir occasionally and cook until carrots are tender - about 10 minutes.

2. While the vegetables are cooking, whisk vegetable broth and tomato paste in a bowl.

3. When carrots are tender, add vegetable broth and tomato paste mix to soup pot, bring to a boil, stir in apples and rice. Reduce heat, cover pot, and let simmer until rice is tender but firm - about 30 to 35 minutes.

4. Stir in cashews and raisins. Cover and let cook for about 10 more minutes, or until rice is tender and raisins are plump.

5. Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste.

Enjoy this delightfully unique vegetable-cashew stew. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and when re-heating over subsequent days, add a little vegetable broth or water to thin down if desired, as this soup thickens over time.

Lorraine here. I can almost taste this soup!! I'm anxious to try it!! Excuse my monochrome message; I have almost 200 e-mails waiting my attention.

Postscript: At 8:40 AM (2/02/09), on the NBC Today show, a demonstration, and comments, about the soon-to-be-released book The Belly Off Diet by Jeff Csatari. Buy it for less than $14. on Amazon.com. Contact me for details about MaxWLX (weight loss accelerator).

Home again !!

I've been gone for several days!! Did you miss me?? I went with a bus load of members from my Church to a Christian conference in Corinth, Mississippi. The preaching was powerful, the music was magnificent, the food was fabulous, the hospitality was heart-warming, the weather was wonderful (although adjoining states [specifically Kentucky] are still suffering power outage from recent devastating ice storm). Our over-one-thousand-miles round-trip was without incident, PTL. (Perhaps you heard about the tour bus accident, in Arizona, where seven were killed and many seriously injured?) Personally, I'm feeling healthier because "the health problem" (I've come to accept) is totally in my apartment. I can't seem to vacuum enough, or clean thoroughly enough, to erase the problems I suffer from the cat I adopted many months ago. She has long-since gone to a new home but I continue to find her long hair stuck to books in the book case (or on top of the book case!!). She left her "mark" on everything I own!! Recently my holistic medical doctor recommended tearing out the carpet but that's impossible in a rented apartment!! Keep me in your prayers?!?!?!
