THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - HOW TO STAY YOUNG
- Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them!'
- Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
- Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.' An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
- Enjoy the simple things.
- Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
- The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
- Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
- Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
- Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

READ THE ARTICLE "WHY IT'S TIME TO DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF THYME ESSENTIAL OIL
From the TRUTH ABOUT CANCER web page.
-->
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has a fascinating and long
history of use. If you were a knight going off to fight in the Crusades in the
11th and 12th centuries, your lady would have given you a scarf with an embroidered
sprig of thyme upon it. Thyme was considered to give courage to its wearer even
by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Now, modern scientists use thyme mixed with special fats to
create nanoparticles that give a compound found in thyme more killing power
against cancer cells!
In our modern world, thyme is a popular herb in the kitchen.
It’s known to be full of potent phytochemicals (naturally occurring plant-based
chemicals), vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Thyme is a great source of
vitamins C, A, B2, B6, and B9. It also contains the minerals iron,
copper, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.
There are over 300 varieties of thyme and at least 20 different chemotypes of
thyme (see more on chemotypes below).
Did You Know? 10 Interesting Facts About Thyme
1. The word thyme comes from the Greek
word “thumos” which means smell, due to the rich fragrance of the plant.
2. The ancient Egyptian medical text, the Ebers
Papyrus, dating around 1550 BC, makes reference to the healing virtues of
thyme.
3. Egyptians used thyme (they called it
“tham”) as one of the herbs in the embalming and mummification process.
4. Medieval herbalists revered thyme for
its ability to keep a wound safe from infection, and for healing bronchial
infections. They even used it for tucking under the pillow for deeper sleep and
warding off bad dreams.
5. Druids considered thyme to be sacred.
Among other things, they used it to ease depression and to protect against
negativity.
6. In the 12th century, Hildegard of
Bingen, a German abbess, herbalist, music composer, writer, and visionary,
prescribed thyme for her patients with plague, leprosy, even body lice. As it
turns out, she was 100 percent correct in doing so!
7. In the 18th century, thyme was included
in a herbal preparation known as baume tranquille, which helped to relieve
stress and nervous disorders.
8. During the Crimean War (1853-1856)
thyme was sprayed on the clothes of soldiers to protect them against yellow
fever, lice, and other diseases.
9. Thyme is part of a modern formula of
herbs applied topically as a hemostatic agent, which means it stops the flow of
blood. Called the Ankaferd hemostat, Turkish hospitals and ambulances use it to
stop bleeding. It is sometimes used in controlled clinical trials and consists
of standardized plant extracts from thyme, licorice, galangal, common nettle,
and grapevine. (See below under “Research on Thyme” as to how it is also being
used against melanoma).
10. Thyme
has one of the highest antioxidant levels among herbs.

DO YOU HAVE LOW IODINE?: THE LINK BETWEEN IODINE DEFICIENCY & CANCER
From the Truth About Cancer Web Page:
Do You Have Low Iodine?: The Link Between Iodine Deficiency & Cancer
by Elyn Jacobs
Our politicians suggested that people could get trace amounts of iodine in iodized salt, but then two things happened. First, recommendations were made to reduce sodium intake, and second, few realized that the iodine in salt evaporates as soon as the package is opened, rendering it useless.
Ironically, just as iodine was removed from our bread, the iodine-blocking element, bromine, was added to flour. Bromine chemicals were then added not only to our bread and flour, but also to mattresses (as a fire retardant), clothing, and other consumer products.
The problem was exacerbated further as pesticides and food additives were increasingly allowed to be used in our food supply — chemicals that interfere with iodine absorption. It’s no wonder that almost everyone has low iodine today.
Iodine deficiency is, to some extent, an error of politics. However, it has become even more prevalent with the ever-increasing presence of xenoestrogens (chemical estrogens found in many personal and home care products and in air pollution) that not only poison the body, but contribute to hormone imbalance and estrogen dominance.
Add that to the fact that estrogen interferes with the absorption of iodine, and it’s clear to see how iodine has been practically eliminated from our cancer-prevention toolkit.
Iodine Deficiency and Cancer
Iodine consumption – which has plummeted 50 percent since the 1970s – is known for its connection to thyroid health. It is less known that other tissues also require large amounts of iodine, namely the breasts, pancreas, stomach, brain, and thymus.
A deficiency of iodine has been found to influence the occurrence of many cancers, especially stomach and breast cancers. Max Gerson, MD, one of the most famous alternative cancer doctors, believed that iodine is essential for the treatment of cancer.
