1. What supplements do you take?
A multivitamin, Glucosamine-MSM-Chondroitin, Odorless Garlic, Omega 3 Fish Oil, Glutamine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and B Complex - extra B-12.
These are the supplements I am taking for six months. I will reevaluate with blood tests and consultation. I will most likely add more antioxidants and anti-aging supplements due to my age and my Rheumatoid Arthritic condition: i.e. Ginkgo Biloba, CoQ10 and silymarin. When I add three vitamins-I also drop three.
2. What is your favorite healthy snack?
Fruit. I buy a week’s worth of fruit each week at the store. I cut all the fruit up and put into plastic bags in the refrigerator. Each morning I eat a 16 ounce bowl of fruit for breakfast. Anytime I crave sweets- I have fresh fruit instead.
I also love dried fruit (without sugar and unsulphured) between meal snacks. Oh yes, I also love almonds.
3. What do you do to keep up your energy?
Active exercise - my favorite is water aerobics. During the summer I swim 3 to 4 times a week. During the winter months I swim indoors, walk, or use the glider.
4. What advice do you find yourself dispensing most commonly to your family and friends?
Get on your knees and pray each morning-ask for God’s will in your life. Do things for others. Say you are sorry when you are wrong - do not hold grudges. Be honest and say what’s on your mind. Stay in love with family, friends and pets.
Supplements of the Month
Vitamin E 400 d-Alpha
‘Take Your Vitamins’ brand of Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant vitamin that helps to neutralize potentially damaging free radicals in our bodies. Vitamin d-Alpha tocopherol is composed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta vitamins having unique biological effects, with generally declining activity; e.g. delta is far less active than the alpha form.
As a supplement, Vitamin E has a number of health benefits for
the body. Vitamin E is particularly important for the protection of our cell membranes as well as keeping your skin, heart, circulation, nerves, muscles and red blood cells healthy.
Antioxidants such as vitamin E protect your cells against
the effects of dangerous free radicals, potentially damaging
by-products of your body’s metabolism. Free radicals can
cause cell damage that may lead to the development of
cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Vitamin E may also reduce cellular aging, inhibit the potentially damaging effects of the sun, thus inhibit melanoma (skin cancer) cell growth, and aid in the prevention of abnormal blood clotting.
100 IU or more of supplemental vitamin E a day has been shown
to reduce the risk of heart attacks in healthy people. If you have pre-existing coronary artery disease it is recommended you take 800 to 1600 IU a day of Vitamin E. Vitamin E also may help prevent the formation of blood clots, which could lead to a heart attack.
Studies have linked lower rates of heart disease with higher vitamin E intake.
B-100 Complex
Benefits of Vitamin B-100 Complex:
B1:
Supports nerve tissues and nerve function necessary for healthy muscle function, especially in the heart involved in the conversion of fatty acids and amino acids into hormones, proteins and enzymes.
May help alcoholics metabolize alcohol more effectively, which
May support recovery from addiction.
Supports health in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
B2:
Instrumental in the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids while playing a key role in energy production for the body.
Also an important antioxidant.
Provides targeted protection for the eyes and may help prevent cataracts
Vitamin B2 has also shown promise in the treatment of migraines.
B3: Niacin
Effectively lowers elevated LDL levels while simultaneously raising levels of the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol.
Vitamin B3 has been used to treat a number of complications arising from diabetes.
May also help maintain proper blood sugar levels in diabetics when use in concert with chromium.
May reduce the recurrence rate of heart attacks in people who are at risk.
B5: Pantothenic Acid
Supports proper function of the adrenal gland and is required for production of adrenal hormones
Supports the production of healthy red blood cells and it may help the body rid itself of alcohol-related toxins
May also support health in people with allergies while speeding wound healing and recovery from surgery, especially when taken in concert with vitamin C
B5 deficiencies have been associated with acne and arthritis
B6: Pyridoxine
Involved in the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells and neurotransmitters like serotonin, which plays a part in regulating our moods and preventing depression.
Involved in energy production in the body, as well as the metabolism of homocysteine, the amino acid that is a risk factor for atherosclerosis.
When used with vitamin B12 and folic acid, it can decrease homocysteine levels.
Related to lower rates of related cardiovascular events including heart attacks and repeated angioplasty.
B12:
Plays an important role in the replication of DNA while supporting growth of the body’s cells.
Vital for the function and maintenance of the nervous system and red blood cells.
Instrumental in the body’s metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates.
Plays a key role in preventing elevated levels of homocysteine from building up in the body even when the levels are increased by lipid lowering drugs known as fibrates - elevated homocysteine increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
As with any vitamin or supplement, please consult your doctor before taking. Author Beverly Terhune speaks from 35 years of living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and shares her experience, strength & hope on how to lead a healthy, substance-free life.

In some instances of bad breath white lumps form in the very back of the throat on the tonsils. These are called tonsiloliths, or tonsil stones. Tonsil stones are little stones of accumulated refuse from the sinuses and throat: dead skin cells are always being shed, along with immune cells that patrol your respiratory passages for invading organisms and other foreign objects. You have a constant flow of mucous and saliva past your tonsils, which can be particularly pronounced if you suffer from post nasal drip, or irritated sinuses.
Little accumulations of all this dead material lodge in the tonsillar crypts and can become quite large and hard, often creating a sensation of something being stuck on the back of the throat. Many people notice that they have them, and wonder what they are. If they’ve noticed that they have bad breath white lumps become a prime suspect for the problem. Tonsiloliths may indeed play a role in halitosis.
Something else that is common in the back of the throat is oral bacteria. The oral cavity contains many different kinds of organisms, some of which have still not been identified. We do know, however, that anaerobic bacteria live on the back of the tongue, where they are protected from oxygen, and break down proteins, including dead skin cells and the other things that accumulate in tonsiloliths. It’s no surprise, then, that these bacteria also proliferate in the tonsillar crypts and on tonsil stones when they are present. One more piece of information links bad breath white lumps and anaerobic bacteria.
Anaerobic bacteria smell famously bad - they produce the smell of feces, halitosis, and rotting organic material where there is little air circulation. They do this because they produce malodorous compounds, often called volatile sulfur compounds, when they break down protein molecules. If you know the smell of sulfur (rotten egg), you know how offensive these compounds can be. These compounds are being produced in the tonsiloliths that anaerobic bacteria are living on - bad breath white lumps and anaerobic bacteria are a team.
Tonsiloliths are hard to get rid of: though they eventually dislodge and are swallowed, these bad breath white lumps are sure to recur unless the tonsils are removed. This type of surgery is really not recommended any more, except in exceptional circumstances, so the best remedy is to gargle regularly with a good mouthwash that fights the anaerobes, and try to gently dislodge the larger tonsil stones , if you can.

Massage therapy has become a very popular means to relieve stress and help relax the body. Because of this, it is widely performed on many people everyday. The medical industry also recognizes that it has many healing benefits for a wide variety of health conditions, and is a great way to restore overall physical and mental well being.
In recent years, this industry has begun to grow at a very fast rate. Many people are finding there are advantages to becoming a massage therapist. One reason is that it is a profession that allows you to help others both physically and mentally. As a result, there have been significant changes in the industry over the past several years. Now, more and more people are signing up to learn how it is done. This, of course, requires a good deal of training, as it is necessary to learn a lot about the human body and all its workings. Now, more massage therapy training facilities are cropping up and people are taking notice.
While the massage school industry continues to grow, the competition is mounting. Because many massage schools are private establishments, smaller, state run schools were not formally a concern. Now, however, more of these vocational institutions are beginning to offer massage therapy training to their mix of other courses and vocations. This is, somewhat, hindering massage schools, who are dedicated to the profession and offer it and only it. These state schools include public technical colleges and community colleges.
Now, enrollment is higher than ever. This is, naturally, causing the graduation rate to rise at an alarmingly high rate. More and more people are seeing massage therapy as a viable industry, one that will not only allow them to help others on a daily basis, but one that will also provide them a way of making good money. There is a lot to be learned in these schools, and some feel that a dedicated school is the way to go. That way, you will receive the most out of your training without having to take other courses that are not related to the industry at all. Still, there is something to be said for taking these courses at a technical school or community college.
When it comes right down to it, it does not matter where you receive alluremassage.ca/ massage training, as long as you learn what is necessary to help you work successfully in the industry. Always keep the overall outcome in mind, and remember what you are there to do. When you consider all the advantages it provides, it is no wonder that this useful industry is only continuing to grow.
