Have a blessed Day!

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or
rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality
honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark
place for a long time it will do what I rather call
"crystallizing".

When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and
sit the honey container in the hot water, off the heat and
let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will
kill the enzymes in the honey.

~ Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting
around.~

Facts on Honey and
Cinnamon:

It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most
diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the
world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram
Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of
diseases.

Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of
diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet,
if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm
diabetic patients.

Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue
dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of
diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as
researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on
bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for
breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and
saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who
have already had an attack, if they do this process daily,
they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use
of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens
the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing
homes have treated patients successfully and have found that
as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility
and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries
and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and
night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one
small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even
chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research
conducted at the Copenhagen University , it was found that
when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of
one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder
before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the
200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally
relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all
the patients who could not walk or move around because of
arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER

Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one
teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it.
It destroys the germs in the bladder.

Two
tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder
mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol
patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the
blood by 10 percent within two hours.
As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a
day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According
to information received in the said Journal, pure honey
taken with food daily relieves complaints of
cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should
take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon
powder daily for three days. This process will cure most
chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET

Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache
and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various
vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of
Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight
bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of
honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the
heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A
scientist in Spain has proved t hat honey contains a natural
' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and
saves the patient from flu.

Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed
that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been
cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of
cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one

FATIGUE:

Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of
honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the
strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and
cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and
flexible. Dr... Milton, who has done research, says that a
half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and
sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing
teeth and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the
vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases
the vitality of the body within a week.

Don't Mess with Children! Funny

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher
said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human
because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very
small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a
human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to heck?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.


A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children
while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see
each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently,
she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl
replied, 'They will in a minute.'


A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with
her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to 'honor' thy Father and thy
Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches
us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family)
answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

Care Giving can be Draining on You and Your Family

Caregiving can be draining on you and your family. Here’s what you need to know.

Courtesy of Prevention

Chances are, if you're reading this, that you're already a member of the more than 22.4 million households involved in caregiving. Becoming a caregiver is a personal evolution and identity in itself.

Sometimes you settle in to the role gradually (Mom is less independent), and other times the shift is practically instant (Mom had a stroke). Regardless of how you come to be a caregiver, most of us are pitched into the responsibility untrained and largely unprepared. But there is help.

Remember high school English and the words of the English poet and clergyman John Donne: "No man [or woman] is an island"? Well, you shouldn't be either. You need the physical and emotional support of others, especially if you're the primary caregiver. You get that support by reaching out to family and friends--in essence, by building bridges between the islands.

These bridges are crucial if you want to thrive in your caregiving role. As Gloria Cavanaugh, president and chief executive officer of the San Francisco-based American Society on Aging, observes, "Caregiving is one of the most challenging tasks a person can take on, especially if the situation lasts for more than a few months. You can't do it all yourself. You need help, and lots of it."

As a caregiver, you're going to develop a whole new set of skills, not the least of which is reaching out to others. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but with practice, it will build courage and self-confidence.

Perhaps you want to ask for help, but you don't know how. You can learn. Consider it a caregiver's rite of passage.

Ask for Help

Your immediate assignment is to figure out what sort of support your loved one needs right away or in the very near future, and what services you, or possibly community agencies, can provide. That way, when you approach other family members for help, you can be very explicit about which tasks they might take on. And you may feel more comfortable asking for their help once you see just how much you're doing and what remains to be done.

You'll need to assemble a caregiving to-do list. Experts recommend following these steps to organize the support you need:

Write down everything --including household chores, transportation, personal finances, and tasks of daily living (such as dressing and grooming)--with which your loved one currently requires assistance. Gather as much input from your loved one as she's able to provide.

Determine how often each task must be performed, getting as specific as you can. For example, your loved one may need a hand with mowing the lawn every week or paying the bills once a month.

Gather information about caregiving resources in the community, such as Meals on Wheels, transportation services, adult day care, and respite care. Remember that many agencies and organizations exist for the sole purpose of aiding caregivers like you.

"Contact just one office to start," Cavanaugh advises. "The person there can direct you to other places as necessary. You can make a lot of valuable connections with very little time and effort."

Once you know what various agencies and organizations can offer, go back to your caregiving to-do list, and mark which tasks they're able to take on, such as phone check-ins or grocery delivery. Be sure to keep contact information for everyone you've dealt with, in case you have additional questions once you've consulted your family.

Make plans to share your list with your loved one and with other family members and friends who make up her caregiving circle. This might best be done at a family meeting.

However you decide to move forward, you'll know you've done your homework, thoroughly researching community resources and all of the services they provide. You've done everything you can without your family's involvement. Now all of you must decide on your respective roles in your loved one's care.

Please Do Not Ignore those Aches and Pains

You Ignore Aches and Pains If you're knee-deep in caring for kids, managing a household, and holding down a job, you may be quick to brush off a nagging cough, back twinge, or bout of indigestion. You may think fatigue is your natural state. But you shouldn't ignore any of those symptoms. Years ago, Stephanie Goldner, a then 37-year-old mother of four, went to work despite waking up with what felt like a bad case of indigestion. But her colleagues at Baptist Hospital in Miami took one look at her and sent her to the emergency room. There she learned that her bad indigestion was actually a heart attack. Although women tend to go to doctors more often than men do, and though they're the caretakers for everyone from grandparents to the pet parakeet, they're least likely to take care of themselves, says Diana Dell, MD, assistant professor of obstetrics-gynecology and psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center. Research suggests that some women will ignore even crushing fatigue and pain, symptoms that in a partner or child would send them scurrying for a doctor's appointment.

The Fix: Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of serious illness, know your risk factors, report anything unusual immediately, and don't let anything get in the way of regular screening tests, which can often detect problems when they're still small and treatable.
