This is absolutely true. You are what you eat…and we as the human race is literally eating our way into EXTINCTION…and it is driven by the “dark” forces in our society known as “big Pharma” and “junk food industries”…social and cultural habits..but the darkest force of all driving the human race to eat ourselves into extinction is ..IGNORANCE!…which leads to dis-empowerment and generation after generation of unhealthy, obese and unhappy people.
Someone once said ..” one quarter of what you eat keeps you alive and three quarters of what you eat keeps your doctors alive.”…
Solution to problem: “…re-think, re-educate and relearn how you eat and change your relationship to a positive one with food and health..”

Sin In Silence “prison is safer than the one you love” documentary of women prisoners convicted of dometic abuse
Inside the California Institution for Women, the first inmate initiated and led group in U.S. prison history, shatters the misconceptions of domestic violence.
Convicted Women Against Abuse (CWAA) was created in 1989 to help women inside prison break the silence about abuse and learn more about what they needed to do to help others stop the cycle of violence.
Instead of fighting a system that does not fully comprehend the complexities of abuse, the women of CWAA led an initiative to help educate the system. Through careful orchestration of letter writing campaigns, media coverage, and senate hearings a movement was born and laws for battered women were changed. And for the founder of CWAA, the flicker of hope begins to grow as her possible freedom, after 26 years in prison, lies moments away.
“Killer Tans” and Skin Cancers

Dr Jewell MD - How to Recognize Melanoma Skin Cancer
Dr Jewell MD - How To Recognize Basal Cell Carcinoma Skin Cancer
Nowadays the term ‘Killer tans’ connotates something more sinister and dangerous to the public’s ear…the underlying message of “potential skin cancers” risk increases significantly in people who spend many hours in the harmful UV sunlight tanning on the beach or outdoor poolside. Even more sinister and dangerous is the believe or myth that suntanning in popular tanning salons is a “safer” way to get a “killer tan”. Nothing could be far from the truth. In fact, there is evidence and a strong concensus among professional health care providers that “… exposure to UV radiation during indoor tanning increases the risk of melanomas, especially when that exposure occurs at an early age….” said Steven E. Zimmet, MD of Zimmet Vein & Dermatology, Austin, Texas and an advisor to dermanetwork.org. Both Dr Zimmer and Lauren Wright, director of Dermanetwork.org, said that policy and law makers are making it harder for young teens to get access to tanning beds which in turn will help to “save lives…”
Indoor tanning beds can give you a “killer tan” look with only a few minutes of exposure, two or three times a week. But don’t be fooled to think that it is a harmless way to get a tan. Tanning beds are not without risk. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that continued use of a tanning bed increases your risk of developing skin cancer by up to 2.5 times and MayoHealthSystem.com advises limiting UV exposure and taking steps to protect yourself in the tanning bed. It is advisable to begin slowly when you use a tanning bed for the first time, and talk to the salon attendant about the recommended tanning limit for beginners. As your skin produces melatonin, you will be able to increase your time in the tanning bed.
Suntan beds emits UV light so it is important to apply sunscreen to the skin to prevent burning and decrease risk of skin cancer. Protect your face with sunblock to help prevent premature aging.
Wear tanning goggles. The strength of the UV rays in a tanning bed is very strong and your vision may suffer without protection. Tanning goggles are tiny and fit snugly over the eye sockets. Using a tanning bed without the proper goggles may harm your vision.
Apply a moisturizer before dressing, after the tanning session, to compensate for the loss of water from the body and skin. Hydrating both externally with moisturizers and internally by drinking water is important.
Tanning beds are dangerous, and the more you use them, the more you risk developing skin cancer. Exposure to UV rays increases your risk of premature aging, wrinkling, and the development of unsightly hyper-pigmentation spots.
Listen to Dr Jewell talking about HYPERPIGMENTATION and SKIN CANCER on World Talk Radio with Skin Health Today Radio show Host, Celeste Hilling.
There are many ways to stay safe in the sun and reduce the risks of getting skin cancers.

CARE -Women’s Health Clinics in Nepal need help

The world celebrates those mountain climbers who summit the dangerous peaks of Nepal and live to tell about it. But farther down the Himalayan slopes, a lesser-known group of hikers faces a life-and-death struggle of their own. I’m talking about the expectant mothers of Nepal, home to one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates. Women in labor sometimes walk steep footpaths for hours or bounce along rough roads in crowded buses before reaching the closest health clinic in serious condition. They hope their journey ends with quality health care. But too often they arrive at clinics with leaky roofs, rusted beds and a lack of basic supplies.
That’s where the Imagine This! team can help. We challenge you to renovate and fully equip a struggling health clinic in Nepal, transforming it into a place that comforts mothers and prepares the workers caring for them.
The pregnant women who conquer alpine hazards every day aren’t asking for a hero’s welcome. But they deserve a dignified place to fight for their lives and those of the next generation.
