               Car  Air-conditioning - Very Important!!!!


My car  book says to roll down the windows to let out all  the hot air before turning on  A/C.

WHY ???????????

Car  Air-conditioning -

No wonder more folks are  dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example  that explains a lot of the cancer causing  incidents.

Many people are  in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a  week.

As I read this, it makes me  feel guilty and ill.
Please pass this on to as  many people as possible.
Guess its not too late to make  some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning)  MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT t urn on A/C as soon  as you enter the car.

Open the windows  after you enter your car and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why: According  to research, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener emit  Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your  car)
In addition to causing cancer,  Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces  white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also  cause miscarriage.

 Acceptable  Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft.
 A car  parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg  of Benzene.

 If parked outdoors under  the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the  Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the  acceptable level.

People who get into the car,  keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick  succession, excessive amounts of  the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that  affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is  extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic  stuff.

 So friends, please open the  windows and door of your car - give time for interior  to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you  enter.

Thought: 'When someone shares  something of value with you and you benefit from it,  you have a moral obligation to share it with  others.'

 This is  what snopes.com says.  It is not the  air conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer.

Hi,

 
What It Was Like To Grow Up Before It Was Safe And Controlled.
  
Here ' s to US!!!!
No matter what our kids and the new generation think about us,
 WE ARE AWESOME !!!!
OUR LIFE IS LIVING PROOF !!!!

 

 
To Those of  Us  Born  
1924 - 1979

 

 
At the end of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno.. If you don ' t read anything else, please
 
read what he said.

 
Very well stated, Mr. Leno.

 

 
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
                   1930 ' s, 40 ' s, 50 ' s,
              60 ' s and 70 ' s!! 

 
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

 

 
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn ' t get tested for diabetes.

 
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered
with bright colored lead-base paints..

 

 
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes,
we had baseball caps
not helmets on our heads..

 

 
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.

 

 
Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

 
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

 

 
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

 
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren ' t overweight..   WHY?

 
Because we were always outside playing...that ' s why!

 
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on..

 
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were OKAY.

 

 
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps
and then ride them down the hill,
only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem

 

 
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo ' s and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD ' s,
no surround-sound or CD ' s,
no cell phones,
no personal computers,
no Internet and no chat rooms.

 

 
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

 
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.We would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping pong paddles, or just a bare hand and no one would call child services to report abuse.

 
We ate worms and mud pies
made from dirt, and
the worms did not live in us forever.

 
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.
  

 
  
We rode bikes or walked to a friend ' s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

 

 
 Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn ' t had to learn
to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!! 
 The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! 

 
These generations have produced some of the best
risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

 
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

  
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

 

 
If YOU are one of them, CONGRATULATIONS! 

 
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.

 

 
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.

 
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn ' t it ?
~ 
The quote of the month is by
Jay Leno:

 
'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance? '  

 
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this. 
For the rest of us...pass this on

Fwd: Asparagus -- Who knew ?

I looked it up on Snopes and there is an article there stating the same as this E so I can not ok it but it is worth the read and do with it what you wish.

TAKE THE TIME TO READ – YOU NEVER KNOW 

I  never heard of this one before, have  you?

Asparagus  -- Who knew ?

This  is from a friend

My Mom  had been taking the full-stalk canned  style
asparagus that she pureed and she took  4 tablespoons in
the morning and 4  tablespoons later in the day. She did
this  for over a month. She is on chemo pills for  Stage 3
lung cancer in the pleural area and  her cancer cell
count went from 386 down to  125 as of this past week.
Her oncologist said  she does not need to see him for  3
months.

THE  ARTICLE:
Several years ago, I had  a man seeking asparagus for a
friend who had  cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy
of an  article, entitled, Asparagus for cancer 'printed  in
Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will  share it
here, just as it was shared with me:  I am a
biochemist,  and have specialized in the relation of diet
to health or over 50 years.  Several years ago, I learned
of the discovery of Richard  R. Vensal, D.D.S. that
asparagus  might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked
with him on his project We  have accumulated a number
of favorable case histories.  Here are a few  examples:

Case No.  1, A man with an almost  hopeless case
of  Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands)  who
was completely  incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting
the asparagus therapy, his  doctors were unable to
detect any  signs of cancer, and he was back on a
schedule of strenuous  exercise.
Case No.  2, a successful businessman  68 years old
who  suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16  years.
After years of medical  treatments, including radiation
without improvement, he went  on asparagus. Within 3
months,  examinations revealed that his bladder tumor
had disappeared and that his  kidneys were  normal.

Case  No. 3, a man  who had lung cancer. On March 5th  1971,  he
was put on  the operating table where they found
lung  cancer so widely spread that it was  inoperable.
The surgeon  sewed him up and declared his case
hopeless. On April 5th he  heard about the Asparagus
therapy and immediately  started taking it By August,
x-ray pictures revealed that  all signs of the cancer had
disappeared..
He is back  at his regular business  routine.

Case  No. 4, a woman  who was troubled for a number of
years with  skin cancer. She finally developed  different
skin cancers which were diagnosed  by the acting
specialist as advanced. Within  3 months after starting
on asparagus, her  skin specialist said that her skin
looked  fine and no more skin lesions. This  woman
reported that the asparagus therapy  also cured her
kidney disease, which started  in 1949. She had over 10
operations for  kidney stones, and was receiving
government  disability payments for an  inoperable,
terminal, kidney condition. She  attributes the cure of
this kidney trouble  entirely to the asparagus.

I was not  surprised at this result, as `The elements  of
materia medica', edited in1854 by a  Professor at the
University of  Pennsylvania , stated  that asparagus was
used as a popular remedy  for kidney stones. He even
referred to  experiments, in 1739, on the power  of
asparagus in dissolving stones. Note the  dates!
We would have other case histories but  the medical
establishment has interfered with  our obtaining some
of the  records. I am therefore appealing to readers  to
spread this good news and help us to  gather a large
number of case histories that  will overwhelm the
medical skeptics about this  unbelievably simple and
natural  remedy.

For the  treatment, asparagus  should be cooked
before  using, and therefore canned asparagus is just
as good as fresh. I have  corresponded with the two
leading canners of  asparagus, Giant and Stokely, and I
am satisfied that these  brands contain no pesticides or
preservatives.
Place the  cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy  to
make a puree, and store in the  refrigerator. Give the
patient 4 full  tablespoons twice daily, morning and
evening.  Patients usually show some improvement in
2-4 weeks. It can be diluted  with water and used as a
cold or hot drink.  This suggested dosage is based on
present  experience, but certainly larger amounts can  do
no harm and may be needed in some cases.  As a
biochemist I am convinced of  the old saying that `what
cures can prevent.' Based on  this theory, my wife and I
have been using asparagus  puree as a beverage with
our meals.  We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water  to
suit our taste with  breakfast and with dinner. I take
mine hot and my wife prefers  hers cold. For years we
have made  it a practice to have blood surveys taken  as
part of our regular  checkups. The last blood survey,
taken by a medical doctor  who specializes in the
nutritional  approach to health, showed substantial
improvements in all  categories over the last one, and
we can attribute these  improvements to nothing but
the asparagus drink.
As  a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of  all
aspects of cancer, and all of the  proposed cures. As a
result, I am convinced  that asparagus fits in better
with the latest  theories about cancer.

Asparagus contains  a good supply of protein  called
histones, which are believed to  be active in controlling
cell growth.. For  that reason, I believe asparagus can
be said  to contain a substance that I call cell  growth
normalizer. That accounts  for its action on cancer and
in acting as a  general body tonic. In any event,
regardless  of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is
a harmless substance. The  FDA cannot prevent you
from using  it and it may do you much good. It has
been reported by the US  National Cancer Institute, that
asparagus is  the highest tested food  containing
glutathione, which is  considered one of the body's
most potent anticarcinogens  and antioxidants.

Please send this  article to everyone in your Address  Book.
The most  unselfish act one can ever do is paying forward
all the kindness one has  received, even to the most
undeserved  person.
