5 Excellent Health Products I Love
The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce chemical "messengers" called hormones essential for normal bodily functions. A wide variety of physiological processes are carried out unconsciously by these "messengers". Once released they flow directly into the bloodstream and are transported to organs and tissues throughout the entire body.
Scientists and doctors are now finding maca to be one of the best natural ways to regulate and support endocrine health. This action regulates metabolism, energy levels, growth, sexual development and the sense of well being and attitude.
Thankfully, maca does not contain hormones itself. Instead it provides a unique set of nutrients that directly fuel the endocrine system and help the glands to produce vital hormones in precise dosages predetermined by one's own body. {for benefits go here:

Sun is Healing - and has been worshiped as a Deity
My personal experience & background on the Subject of Sunlight:
EXPERIENCE::
I battled my "Severely Depressed Immune System" for more than 3 months while living in Seattle, WA for my THIRD WINTER. (I previously had no trouble like this).
After hundreds and hundreds of Dollars spent on numerous different Doctors, I finally was seen by the Students of Bastyr College. They did panels on my Bloodwork to discover that my Vitamin D levels were ridiculously low. It should be noted that Every Single Seattle Dr I went to said the exact same thing: "All of my Seattle Patients have a Below-Average Vitamin D Level".
BACKGROUND:
I grew up in The Valley Of The Sun. I hated it, Im Pale as an English Rose and get scorched from the sun, not tan. My father had skin cancer (so has many of my relatives on his side) and my mother was OverProtective in all areas, which included Always Slathering my brother & I in Tons of Sunscreen! SO, I was ALWAYS paranoid/VeryCareful. I applied expensive $60 "wont-clog-your-pores" sunscreen to my face/neck Every Single Day! Unfortunately for me, I also did that throughout my 3 years in Seattle, Washington.
7 months out of the year, Seattle doesn't even receive the normal RAYS which reach us human on earth after its filtered through the atmosphere.
IN CONCLUSION:::
I now LOVINGLY Sunbathe!!! With A Smile on My Face, and NO Worry in my heart/head.
After I stopped Using Sunscreens on a DAILY Basis, my Skin is now less sensitive to the sun, so it burns Less and finally can tan!!!!!
NOW FOR INFO ON THE HEALING ASPECT OF THE SUN & "Heliopathy"
"Dr. Auguste Rollier, Medical doctor and Author was the most famous heliotherapist of his day. At his peack he operated 36 clinics with over 1,000 beds in Leysin, Switzerland. His clinics were situated 5,000 feet above sea level. The intensity of ultraviolet light increases by 4 percent for every 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level." "He followed in the footsteps of the Danish physician Dr. Neils Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 for his treatment of TB using ultraviolet light. In a san of 20 years, more than 2,000 cases of surgical (bone and joint) tuberculosis were treated, and more than 80% were discharged as cured at Dr. Rollier's clinics. Rollier found that sunbathing early in the morning, in conjunction with a nutritious diet, produced the best effects". Quoted from the aforementioned book "Heal Yourself with Sunlight"
The Doc recommended to stay out only during the Morning hours if in SUMMER, but during WINTER you can be outside ALL DAY LONG : )
Pineapple "(Digestive)BOMB"!!!!
This is What I call A PINEAPPLE BOMB. (aka: Pineapple & Watermelon Digestive Enzymatic BOMB!!)
Here is how this post came to be *PROLOGUE*
I tell my wise and loving Grandmother I've had Chronic Nausea for 2 weeks straight while sick with a "Severe Illness", but sans vomiting. She keeps me on the phone to make sure I get right to the corner Grocery Store, Fill the Script the Docs prescribed me, and Buy the Hugest Watermelon "with the sweet spot" and as many Pineapples as I can afford. She stays on the phone with me through the checkout into the car (wireless bluetooth = safety), and into the house -- and only when I had opened up that Melon and Pineapple was she satisfied! : ) Thats Loving Care (My Mom thanked her later. I think I may have too. hopefully I did.) I haven't experienced that nausea again. ******************
This Tool I picked up one Summer in Hawaii. I LOVE it->
EASY INSTRUCTIONS that will bring you Digestive Relief;
-Have A Cup Next to Cutting Board to Pour Pineapple's JUICE into : ) YUMM!!!
-Cut off the Top of the Pineapple (the Green leaves are coming out the Top)
-Position Tool Correctly Over Pineapple's Cylindrical Core
-Turn Handle on Tool in a Clockwise Fashion
-Once you feel you have reached the bottom of the pineapple - turn some more, you probably haven't (BUT if it breaks the bottom of pineapple, hurry to Catch it's JUICE in the Cup!)
-Unhook the Handle of the Tool, and once you wiggled it out of pineapple, Turn Upside down (Over a Bowl) to slide the Pineapple Circles into the Bowl Below.
-If you see more Pineapple Pulp at the bottom, just re-use the tool again.
-You can NOW USE YOUR NEW PERFECTLY SHAPED PINEAPPLE AS A CUP FOR AN ISLAND BEVERAGE!
-OR-----> I like to "Wring Out the Pineapple" like a wet rag (Over the Cup), to Get EVERY LAST SUCCULENT DROP OF PINEAPPLE JUICE : ) I Love Fruit Juice & Smoothies
Concluding Instructions for the BOMB:: Make Sure you Eat/&/Drink ALL the PINEAPPLE to YOUrSelf!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if your too sick to put the arm muscle into it (like I was), Tell Your Helper In Advance that you were instructed to eat the Entire Pineapple & it's Juices.
Epilogue: After your Pineapple Bomb, Eat as Much Watermelon as You Can!! This will Clean Out your Intestines, So be resting and ready to move to the bathroom. I always use a good Fiber Supplement or Eat Sprouted Bread while "Juicing" as to prevent diarrhea.
PLEASE NOTE: I experienced what I call "When Digestive Enzymes Attack!!!", which was a Tingling sensation on my Tongue and the corners of my mouth. I usually just keep drinking water till it goes away and maybe wipe off my lips. But this last time I fell asleep, and woke up with Chapped&Cracked Corners of my mouth - due to the gnarly Digestive Enzymes!!
I remember reading about the "Zapper" Health Product my family & I use, and it said to make sure to "Move the product's placement if your skin its in contact with starts to itch/tingle - otherwise the pH balance will be affected and you might be left with eroded or ulcerated skin.
pH yes, makes so much sense. Alkaline / Acidity. I'm so glad I've gotten rid of so much acid in my life : )
**~~~~~I have worked in Juice Bars (and managed some) and can't imagine living without even the Cheapest Used Blender. I need some blender, even if its from the goodwill. Luckily, I found a good durable Oster brand one @ Costco UNTIL I can get my Dream which is THE VITAMIX of course. Its true what they say about "Love at First Sight".-
----ANYWAY::::: I am trying to say::: MAKE A Fruit SMOOTHIE!!!! Theyre Delicious! If you dont know what to make, get acquainted with Google and the words "Healthy Shake/Smoothie Recipes"

I just want to sit down EVERY PARENT and say to them nicely: "This is NOT Your Fault" (As I GRIT my Teeth), "This is society's fault for your ignorance" "These Imposter foods are poison to your children." I would then go through all the ingredients that look more like its for the Science Lab, not our sick precious children.
