THE OPTIMIST CREED
By Christian D. Larsen
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of
mind.
Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person
you meet.
Make all your friends feel there is something in them.
Look at the sunny side of everything.
Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you
are about your own.
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the
greater achievements of the future.
Give everyone a smile.
Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no
time left to criticize others.
Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
Well thats it Firday...hope you found it helpful...do email me with ideas or remarks....
Have a good week and enjoy

Too much salt
How about this bit of news
High Blood Pressure: Salt in our food is a major cause, but don’t tell the FDA
18 October 2007
Salt in our food is a major cause of high blood pressure (hypertension) – but it’s news to the American food industry. There, salt intake from food has increased by 50 per cent since 1970 – and it’s reckoned that 90 per cent of Americans will suffer from hypertension some time in their lives.
The blame can be placed at the door of America’s drug regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which has decreed that salt is “generally recognised as safe”.
Their position, say researchers, is out of step with similar bodies in the UK, Ireland, Finland and Australia, which have all set national targets for lowering salt intake, and have encouraged food manufacturers to comply with voluntary regulations.
If the FDA followed suit, manufacturers would have to get approval before adding salt to food, and the FDA would also have to set agreed limits.
Researchers reckon that around 150,000 lives could be saved every year in America if the nation halved its salt intake.
(Source: Journal of the American Medical Association, 2007; 298: 1439-41).

Himalayan Salt and Asthma
The Salt Pipe -
This is a natural alternative for asthma, allergies or other respiratory disorders - home salt mine therapy :
this salt pipe will give significant improvements in Forced Expiratory Volume during the first second
Mucus becomes thinner thus easier expectoration
Night suffocation and coughing is reduced or prevented completely
Easier breathing
The salt pipe has been around for a coulpe of years & is proving to work so well on many users for asthma, allergies, hay fever, bronchitis, chronic coughing, sleeping problems, snoring, respiratory disorders & more. A 100% natural device with no side effects and safe to use.
We would recommend it to anyone needing help with asthma & other respiratory problems. Just a few puffs a day and the benefits are felt by users almost immediately.
Why buy a salt pipe?
One off small cost
No pills to stomach
Works almost immediately
Alternative health product which has already worked for many users
Easy to use
Lasts up to 5 years from using approx 15-20 minutes daily
The Salt pipe is the modern way to experience salt therapy and has no known side effects.
For centuries, salts have been used as folk remedies by many different cultures in regions around the World.
Today people suffering from respiratory disorders travel to curative mines such as Wieliczka in Poland, Hallein in Austria or Praid in Romania. Or they visit seaside locations for high humidity, salty air. Healing therapies using salt to ease respiratory problems may involve inhaling salt brine vapour, gargling with brine or using rock salt combined with essential oils for inhalation.

The clinically tested salt pipe is a handy porcelain pipe filled with salt crystals from the Transylvanian Praid salt mine.
Its salty microclimate calms and cleanses the cells of the respiratory system.
When using the pipe, the moisture of the passing air absorbs the micron sized particles of the salt, then penetrates into your respiratory system to achieve the beneficial effects. The sodium content of the active ingredient induces natural self-cleansing mechanisms that flush away the impurities from the surface of the cells.
Salt particles also mechanically clean the air passages.
Just a few minutes or regular daily use can be of major benefit not only to asthma, hay fever and allergy sufferers, smokers and snorers but can also help overcome stuffiness, persistent coughing, shortness of breath, and wheeziness during colds, flu and other infections and neutralise the daily damaging effects of air pollution, dust, smog, fog and secondary cigarette smoke.
Many people ask us if it ok with high blood pressure as salt isn't known to be a good thing to take with high blood pressure, answer is fine, just like gargling with salt helps a sore throat, salt can be good for you, the same principal applies.
The Salt Pipe Active substance:
Miocene halit salt crystals from the Praid salt mine

Himalayan Salt For your Bath
The Many Benefits of Himalayan Crystal Bath Salts
Use Salt Water Baths or Soaks to Help Revitalize Your Body
A brine bath is a terrific way to revitalize your body by soothing skin.
Himalayan Bath Salt
Your skin is an excretive organ that mirrors the condition of your intestines. When you take a brine bath, the salt minerals help your skin in the form of ions. Bio-energetic weak points will be balanced and your body's energy flow will be activated.
To get the full benefits of a natural crystal salt bath, the right salt concentration is critical. The salt concentration has to be at least the same as the one of your body fluids (approximately 1%) to activate the osmotic exchange ratio. The formula for a 1% solution is 1.28 ounces of salt per gallon of water.
Since a full tub normally takes from 100 to 120 liters (27-32 gallons) of water, at least 1.2 kg. (2.6 pounds) of natural salt is required.
To avoid using body energy to balance the temperature, the water should be approximately 37° Celsius (97° Fahrenheit). Your bath will remain at a constant temperature because the biophysical composition of the salt is so strong - it causes the molecules to move in a constant rhythm.
Do not use any bath additives, soaps, or oils.
Your bath should last 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the temperature and the makeup of the brine bath is comparable to the amniotic fluid in which the embryo floats in the prenatal state.
Do not shower off, simply dry off with a towel.
After your brine bath, you should rest for at least 30 minutes.
WARNING: While brine baths have a positive effect, they are also demanding on your circulatory system. If you suffer from weak or poor heart circulation, always consult your doctor first.

15 Tips to help with your Arthritis.
Tip 1
Did you know that although one in 3 adults suffer from arthritis, two thirds of the sufferers are women?
Tip 2
3 drops of Juniper oil in no more than a thimble of almond oil or another carrier oil is the perfect aromatherapy oil to keep your joins nimble and the pain levels down.
Tip 3
Fish oils that are rich in omega -3 fatty acids and Vitamin D supplements are vital to reduce the pains associated with osteoarthritis although take medical advice before doing this if you have high blood pressure, a heart condition or are on medication. Eat oily fish two or three times a week
Tip 4
Not all remedies for arthritis work for all types. You need to get an accurate diagnosis of what type you have and armed with that you can get remedies that work specifically for you.
Tip 5
A detox plan is a good way to cleanse the body of things that build up, and from an alternative health point of view, toxins can make the pain of arthritis worse.Try our Aloe Vera detox plan.
Tip 6
Avoid artificial sweeteners like saccharine and aspartame or sugar “alternatives” as these seem to contribute to the problems associated with arthritis. Consider using natural whole foods and vegetables instead. The juice from a ripe apple is very sweet.
Tip 7
Rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatism is the most common form of arthritis and you can reduce your symptoms by making sure your body weight is within the healthy range for your height and gender.
Tip 8
Rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis pains can be alleviated by adding foods like raw vegetables, garlic, yoghurt and coconut oil to your diet.
Tip 9
If you want an easy life, with no lifestyle changes then consider that the arthritis pains will endure. Even a liberal dosage of vitamins and supplements will only have marginal effects, although do take the recommended daily allowance of a multivitamin and mineral supplement as deficiencies will make matters worse anyway.
Tip 10
Did you know that arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America? As people get older more and more of us are get some form of arthritis, but all the doctors and medical experts agree that no matter which form of arthritis you have, exercise can help you lead a happier, more productive and pain-free life.
Tip 11
Arthritis is not a disease of the elderly so stop attributing your achy joint to your age. Even children can have arthritis although it is very often dismissed as “growing pains”.
Tip 12
There is really no “cure” for arthritis, mainly because many of the over 100 forms of arthritis are caused by different things, but also because there is nothing really available that can reverse all the different things that happens in the joints of arthritis sufferers. There is however many different treatments that can reduce the discomforts of having the disease.
Tip 13
Drier, warmer temperatures increases the pain threshold so a warmer climate or even a warmer work environment can help alleviate the pain associated with arthritis.
Tip 14
If your leg muscles ache, one of the exercises you can try it to “push over a wall”. Arms straight out in front of you, facing a wall, you lean forward one leg in front of the other. Stretch your back leg by pushing the heal down towards the floor while trying to keep the knee joint straight. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds and switch legs.
Tip 15
If your shoulders cause you some arthritis pain, one exercise you can do is the chicken wings. Place your finger tips on your shoulders ( if you can) and try to make your elbows touch each other in front of you. Do it slowly 8 times. Then try to make them touch behind you.
