Goodness me! Time flies...whether you are enjoying yourself or not it seems!

Anyway here comes another of the rather intermittent efforts that have graced this blog of late. But this is an important one -- at least if you are suffering from nagging ill health. If your health has been up and down, if you are debilitated, fatigued, feeling off it. Even if you are suffering a (perceived) more 'serious' health challenge, such as diabetes then if you have not looked into 'alkalizing' your body through overhauling your diet you ought to.

Dr Robert O Young has been on a crusade for many years and has become a pre-eminent proponent of the 'alkaline lifestyle'. He talks the talk and walks the walk, and he and his wife Shelley Redford Young, who co-authors some of the publications that bear Dr Young's name, look pretty good on it.

Dr Young has also pioneered live blood studies that allow the analyst to determine just how 'ill' your body is, through examining the pattern of blood cells and their condition. Something that dry blood slides just CANNOT provide an insight to (yet this is the way most modern medical establishments still assess blood samples!).

In an effort to spread the word Dr Rob Young gave a keynote presentation in Omaha and the video of this insight into the whys, hows and wherefores of alkalizing your body are fascinating.

Already many 100's have testified to the turnaround in their health from having adopted Dr Young's lifestyle makeover advice. Although, as you'll guess, there are skeptics and gainsayers, but the proof is in the pudding it would seem!

Take an early look at the videos here: http://www.gonando.com/alkaline-foods.html

There are 7 segments each lasting about 10 minutes, and all free to view. This page was put together to host all 7 in one convenient place.

There is also a useful list of alkaline foods at http://www.gonando.com/alkaline-foods.html which could help you to start to overhaul your diet and gain the apparent health benefits sooner rather than later.

How to get rid of cold sores - naturally!

Long time no blog due to an email muddle! But here we are again -- at last -- seeking a safer alternative this time with respect to how to get rid of cold sores.

One thing that has been notable of late is that there has been, what is perhaps a seasonal, rising interest in folks wanting to find out more about how to get rid of cold sores!

Why seasonal? Because sudden prolonged exposure to the sun, like we tend to experience when we arrive on vacation and immediately hit-the-beach (or pool) can cause the sort of 'stress' or trauma that can send an infected body into 'cold sore manufacturing mode'!

I say infected body because the only people affected by cold sore misery are those already infected with Herpes simplex II virus. This is a highly contagious virus that can easily be spread by kissing, sharing a towel, or maybe a toothbrush with someone who hosts the virus.

The weepy, crusty blisters that usually appear on the lip or corner of the mouth after a few days of 'tingling' forewarning are an obvious phase of 'contagion' -- BUT cold sore virus can be passed on for several weeks after a flare up even when the sore is no longer obviously evident!

In fact you need to be careful when you have a cold sore crisis because you could easily infect someone you care about by being too 'affectionate' or too careless with your bathroom habits! (Ever leave your face towel lying around?)

Herpes simplex II is an incurable virus, and although there are some quite effective anti-virus treatments that can prove effective cold sore remedies in the bud -- they cannot CURE the virus. Also these harsh chemical regimes do NOT suit everyone! So is there a more natural approach to cold sore cures?

You need to know that if you make a few important lifestyle and personal habit changes you can reach a point where you never again need to ask how to get rid of a cold sore -- wouldn't that be a blessing?

For more help now, if you are a cold sore sufferer, or you know someone who is -- see this detailed self-help article at the 'Go Natural and Organic' site: www.gonando.com/cold-sores.html

Or take a look at how a 'former' cold sore victim found an effective solution to there problem that could also help you in just a few days -- here: Get rid of cold sores for good!

Commercial Pressures Now Undermining
USDA Organic Certification

How bonkers is the thinking of the folks who award products the up-until-now highly regarded United States Department of Agriculture Organic Certification endorsement?

It seems likely that they are on the verge of allowing a plethora of (well, 38 to be exact) 'ingredients' into their 'acceptable' category that are PATENTLY NOT ACCEPTABLE as organic product ingredients just because many manufacturers have ALREADY been exploiting a bit of 'loose' stipulation of ingredient requirements over recent years...

The LOGICAL thing, of course, is to tighten up the 'legalese', to instruct manufacturers to 'reformulate' their products within a given time span, or else to suffer loss of their certification...But, hey! That could mean one or two fail to comply! They could lose certification! Hey...They could even lose some sales!!

BUT NO! A bit of corporate pressure has led to the likelihood of more-than-just-a-thin-end of a wedge being driven into the standards of what has, until now, been regarded as one of the worlds leading organic certifications!

The simple message is -- profit is more important than TRUE organic standards -- the response from consumers should be FORGET USDA as a reliable form of organic certification! Rely only on those who actually STICK to applying real standards to their organic requirements -- like ACO, Australian Certified Organic.

It seems necessary that for those who are seriously interested in REAL organic products, as opposed to 'dubiously' labelled and certificated products. the USDA must now be 'relegated' to the league of unreliable 'also rans'...

What is the point of a certification that allows a whole range of questionable ingredients into their 'supposedly organic' products -- such shallow commercial prioritization just stinks, and shows how little the USDA REALLY believes in organic values...they MUST simply see it as a way to scam the easily confused consumer out of more bucks for inferior and unreliable products!

In fact they only allowed a 7 day consultation period (finished over a week ago on 22 May!) for any comments on their proposals... So what hope for meaninguful feedback from the majority of consumers who might have made useful coment on this impending travesty?

IF USDA go ahead and compromise their standards as they seem likely to do -- then the message is CLEAR -- simply ignore USDA stamp and choose ONLY organic products that also bear other, more reliable certification.

For what is probably the safest, and truest organic range of body care, hair care, skin care and cosmetics, that have uniquely recieved only the highest reliable food grade organic certification, see http://www.saferalternative.com and read more about the need to 'go organic'. For more 'organic' news, information, and other 'rants' please be sure to call at http://www.gonando.com too!

The Miessence Range of products (personal care, household, and probiotics) are genuine organic products (offered via http://www.saferalternative.com) and although they gained USDA certification well before this impending reduction in standards, and without using questionable ingredients -- they also carry ACO and Japanese food grade organic certification so you can be sure of their REAL organic provenance!
