Welcome
back!
Lately it has been impossible to hear or read
the news without being told about the impending
pandemic Bird Flu. It is even being compared
to the 1918 outbreak of flu virus. The
message is emotionally charged and manipulative.
If we really think about it, 1918 was a very
different world situation. Sanitation conditions
were dramatically inferior. The war had created
an environment much different than our present
day situation and technology was nowhere as
sophisticated. The media has helped perpetuate
a culture
of fear over a new type of flu and a
shortage of vaccines. This is the perfect setup
for a supply versus demand imbalance and a potential
for multi millions of dollars in revenues funneled
into the pockets of pharmaceutical CEO's and
their minion. According to an article in Mothering
Magazine, "Flu Phobia is unique to the USA;
European countries do not advocate blanket flu-vaccine
policies."
We at Eidon prefer to take an offensive approach
to the threat of an invading virus. The need
to be reasonable and not reactionary is a much
more sane and stress free response. The human
body has the ability to stay healthy and strong
when given the proper conditions. A healthy
human being at birth is a perfect balance of
essential components designed to live to old
age. Our immune system is designed to protect
us from normal pathogenic invaders. Even genetic
predispositions need not manifest if optimal
immune function is in place.
It is when the immune function becomes compromised
from environmental or internal factors that
deplete our essential defensive components that
we become vulnerable to disease. Make sure your
mineral
intake is adequate, your diet is healthy
and eat organic if possible. Take time to appreciate
the moment and observe the small things in life
that are precious. Remember to nourish you mind,
body and spirit and think twice about that flu
vaccine if you are not in a vulnerable situation.

know if I am buying genetically modified food?
Buying organic is currently the safest way to
make sure your food has not intentionally been
genetically modified. Organic food must be:
-
Free from GM organisms
- Produced
without artificial fertilizers or pesticides
- From
animals bred and reared without the use of antibiotics,
growth hormones or other drugs
Non-GM
crops are becoming increasingly more contaminated
due to insect pollination and winds caring traces
of GM elements.
Refined Carbs and
Breast Cancer - Women who eat too
many refined carbohydrates are more than twice
as likely to suffer from breast cancer, according
to researchers who report their findings to
the August 2004 issue of Cancer Epidemiology
Biomarkers & Prevention. The study examined
how sugar and starch intake effect one's cancer
risk as reported in the May/June 2004 issue
of The Well Being Journal.
High Blood Pressure and Salt Intake -
Many people do not suffer high blood pressure
when they eat salt, and severe
salt restriction can harm you. Low salt
levels can raise blood pressure by causing the
adrenal glands to release large amounts of aldosterone
and the kidneys to release renin, and these
hormones constrict arteries. Athletes who do
not take in enough salt can suffer severe fatigue,
muscle damage and cramps.
Health Benefits of Cranberries - Cranberries
contain the most antioxidant phenols compared
to 19 commonly eaten fruits. In addition, there
is ongoing research that indicates cranberries
may be helpful in fighting heart disease, dental
caries and cancer. More information is available
from The
Cranberry Institute.

Title:
"Ancient
Secret of the Fountain of Youth,"
by Peter Kelder
This
book is about balancing the body physically
and maintaining youth through a daily practice
of 5 specific exercises. The five exercises
balance the seven energy centers of the body
we refer to as vortexes. The Hindus refer to
these vortexes as chakras. The body’s chakras
govern the seven endocrine glands. When all
seven energy vortexes/chakras are revolving
at high speed, and at the same rate of speed,
the body is in perfect health. The fastest way
to regain youth, health and vitality is to start
these energy centers spinning normally again,
and these 5 exercises will accomplish this.
Challenge yourself with these exercises and
you will be greatly rewarded. This book is definitely
worth owning.
