The State of America's Health as Obama Takes Office

As a long time smoker, I can understand the people who hate smokers and I even stopped smoking in my house many years ago to spare my then family but must admit cannot break the habit myself. As President Obama is also a smoker, it will be extremely difficult for him to take on the most stressful job in the world and try to quit. I only hope the press dosn't crucify him if he cannot manage all things at one time. Smoking is not a sin, only a very filthy habit!!!

Ms Andrews, do you honestly believe %90 of people 50 or older are going to have a colonoscopy? Do you want a video camera inserted into your rectum?

"Esoteric Healing" by Alice A Bailey (Lucis Press) is the most definitive work on the Spiritual aspect of healing, presently, not known to Allopathic Healing.

It that holds that by burial, humanity is ploughing illness back into the soil and perpetuating disease.

If humanity switches to Cremation, 50% of disease can be eradicated within 5 to 10 years.

More importantly, cremation allows for the elimination of the subtle bodies that enshroud the soul and offeres an immense spiritual benefit

When will the American people wake up to the fact that the use of food additives in nearly all that they eat, makes them sick.

The worst is fluoride, the book " The Fluoride Deception " should be compulsory reading for everyone.

Barack Obama's Dept of Health and his transition team need to solve the health problems with little or no money before they try big dollars for technology that will be expensive for patients.

Human Diseases - Bird Flu - Mad Cow Disease

PROBABLE CAUSE AND PREVENTION REVEALED

BIRD FLU, MAD COW, other animal diseases

AND HUMAN DISEASES:

Paperback Book: 1960 : Dr. D.C. Jarvis, MD in "Arthritis and Folk Medicine" warned that his studies showed unnatural feeding of animals in feedlots causes the blood ph to change from slightly acid to alkaline in humans and animals allowing viruses and bacteria to cause diseases.

(Viruses cannot live in acid blood.)

Intensive farming, fruit and vegetable growing with fertilizers etc. also causes the ph of the blood to change to alkaline.

Pasteurizing milk turns milk from mildly acid to alkaline.

NOTE: In alkaline blood, calcium does not go into the bones as it should; it goes into arteries, muscles, and organs building hard deposits.

TO OVERCOME THAT:

stir 2 teaspoons each apple cider vinegar and honey;

after stirring, add glass of water and sip during 3 meals.

NOTE: That will take calcium from where it does not belong and

puts it in the bones where it belongs, eliminating porous bones.

Animal doses of apple cider vinegar on rations are in the book,

as are solutions for hyperactive people or animals.

THE BEST PROTECTION AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE:

individuals have their own animals grazing,

and using organic gardening ways for their own vegetables in their own communities.

SPECIAL NOTE: THAT SOLVES WORLD PROBLEMS OF:

pollution, global warming, energy crisis, war, poverty, disease and high health care costs including insurance, etc.

NOTE: THE GOAL IN LIFE IS NOT EMPLOYMENT;

the goal is a garden-paradise where we grow our own ruits and vegetables and choose useful pets that provide fresh milk and eggs.

THE ABUNDANT LIFE is not destroying ourselves

with unnatural food production, processing, and

transporting food around the country or world.

THIS IS A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM

BECAUSE IT IS AVAILABLE AROUND THE WORLD.

Another top preventable cause of death is eating meat.

We citizens can educate ourselves and make changes to improve our health. In Santa Maria CA we are conducting a grassroots self-help "Healthy Lifestyle Education & Support 10-week/10-session Program" with emphasis on videos from the real experts -- Dr. McDougall, Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Fuhrman, Dr. Popper, Dr. Ornish, Dr. Barnard, Dr. Harris, Dr. Mills, RD Jeff Novick, RD Brenda Davis -- to name a few. Some videos to watch are at

Give me a break, an occasional cigarette ? So now because we have a skinny black dude in the WH it's ok to socialy smoke?

This country has gone to hell !

The guy is a full fledged SMOKER period. Take from me people, I smoked for 35 years, once a smoker allways a smoker. Cigarettes are more additive then Crack Cocain. It took me 10 years to quit, but I still crave those nasty cancer sticks.

You think he's a good role model because he goes to gym and shoots hoops? Yea Americans are over weight because of lazyness and access to fast food.

Don't pump sunshine up my ars because BO is thin, so he's not a fat slob yet?

What we now have in the WH is a president who smokes and uses tobbaco, how physically fit can he be?

George of NY 1:13PM January 05, 2009

Nor does our current, physically fit president SMOKE.

RG of GA 10:01AM January 04, 2009
