Rated 5 out of 5 by LilBear As Good As Ever
I got a tube of this lube when I got my first Abu Garcia baitcasting reel in 1967 and just ran out, so I ordered another tube so I can keep all my reels in proper operating condition. The lubricant is specified for use on Abu Garcia reels, but of course it works well on all other brands, too. I don't use anything else.

I have had several bottles in my tackle box and always end up buying more. It's easy to apply, lasts long, and is of great quality. I always lube up my casting reels before I go fishing, and have yet to encounter any problems besides the occasional backlash, which was of-course operator error. Just apply a dab to the places that need lubrication and work it in with a cue-tip, POW! you're done. Perfect product for any tackle box/bag. The bottle also doesn't melt in the heat, which is a HUGE plus.

What is it?
Passionflower is a plant. The above ground parts are used to make medicine.
Passionflower is used for sleep problems (insomnia), gastrointestinal (GI) upset related to anxiety or nervousness, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and relieving symptoms related to narcotic drug withdrawal.
Passionflower is also used for seizures, hysteria, asthma, symptoms of menopause, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nervousness and excitability, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and pain relief.
Some people apply passionflower to the skin for hemorrhoids, burns, and pain and swelling (inflammation).
In foods and beverages, passionflower extract is used as a flavoring.
In 1569, Spanish explorers discovered passionflower in Peru. They believed the flowers symbolized Christ's passion and indicated his approval for their exploration. Passionflower is found in combination herbal products used as a sedative for promoting calmness and relaxation. Other herbs contained in these products include German chamomile, hops, kava, skullcap, and valerian.
Passionflower was formerly approved as an over-the-counter sedative and sleep aid in the U.S., but it was taken off the market in 1978 because safety and effectiveness had not been proven. However, passionflower may still be available alone or in combination with other herbal products.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database
rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
The effectiveness ratings for
are as follows:
Possibly effective for...
. There is some evidence that passionflower can reduce symptoms of anxiety, sometimes as effectively as some prescription medications.
Relieving symptoms related to narcotic drug withdrawal, when used in combination with a medication called clonidine
. This combination seems to be effective in reducing symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, sleep problems (insomnia), and agitation. However, passionflower plus clonidine is no better than clonidine alone for physical symptoms such as tremor and nausea.
Relieving symptoms of a psychiatric disorder known as "adjustment disorder with anxious mood" when used in a multi-ingredient product (Euphytose, EUP)
. Other herbs in the product are crataegus, ballota, and valerian, which have mild sedative effects, and cola and paullinia, which have stimulant effects. It's not clear, though, which ingredient or ingredients in the mix are responsible for decreasing anxiety.
Insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for...
Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
. Some preliminary research suggests that drinking a passionflower tea an hour before bedtime might help improve feelings of sleep quality. However, this did not seem to improve the time it takes to fall asleep, the number of awakenings at night, or refreshed feelings upon awakening in the morning.
Nervous stomach
Heart problems
High blood pressure
Other conditions
More evidence is needed to rate passionflower for these uses.
How does it work?

Passionflower can cause some side effects such as dizziness, confusion, irregular muscle action and coordination, altered consciousness, and inflamed blood vessels. There has also been a report of nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, a rapid heart rate, and abnormal heart rhythm in one person who took it.
There isn't enough information to rate the safety of passionflower when applied to the skin.
Special precautions & warnings:

Not enough is known about the safety of taking passionflower during breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and don't use it.
: Passionflower can affect the central nervous system. It might increase the effects of anesthesia and other medications on the brain during and after surgery. Stop taking passionflower at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Are there interactions with medications?
Return to top
Be cautious with this combination.
Sedative medications (CNS depressants)
Passionflower might cause sleepiness and drowsiness. Medications that cause sleepiness are called sedatives. Taking passionflower along with sedative medications might cause too much sleepiness.
Some sedative medications include pentobarbital (Nembutal), phenobarbital (Luminal), secobarbital (Seconal), clonazepam (Klonopin), lorazepam (Ativan), zolpidem (Ambien), and others.
Are there interactions with herbs and supplements?

Herbs and supplements that might cause sleepiness and drowsiness
Passionflower can cause sleepiness and drowsiness. Using it along with other herbs that have the same effect, might cause too much sleepiness and drowsiness. Some of these herbs and supplements include 5-HTP, calamus, California poppy, catnip, hops, Jamaican dogwood, kava, St. John's wort, skullcap, valerian, yerba mansa, and others.

The Great Showdown
On July 1, 2010, the 2010 Tour de France looked as if it would be one of the most competitive editions of the race in its history. Rarely has a Grand Tour had so much talent show up with winning in mind. It was as if the six best teams in the NFL took the field for the Superbowl.
This was a Tour whose closest parallel was perhaps the 1989 edition, where three former winners—Laurent Fignon, Pedro Delgado and Greg LeMond—took the start and were ultimately the race's greatest protagonists. This year's race also had three former winners toe the start line—Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador and Carlos Sastre. Nearly as important is the fact it also had an amazing six former podium finishers—Andy Schleck, Cadel Evans, Ivan Basso, Levi Leipheimer, Andreas Klöden and Alexander Vinokourov—at the start, plus Denis Menchov, a three-time Grand Tour winner in his own right. It was to be The Great Showdown.
The point of a Grand Tour, of course, is to see who cracks, which riders fail under pressure, but even more importantly, which riders rise to the occasion and surprise themselves, their teams and the fans. With a field gushing talent and experience like an out-of-control well in the Gulf of Mexico, no one really thought there would be room for any insurgent talents, but the prospect that one of the former top-10s, such as Frank Schleck, Michael Rogers or Bradley Wiggins capturing a podium spot seemed less science fiction than the impossibility of sealing off that aforementioned well.
But here we are, nine stages into The Great Showdown and what do we have? A race of two. That is, the race will come down to Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck provided there are no race-ending crashes or other stunning tragedies that befall either rider. That said, the way this race is going, I am willing to accept the possibility that someone other than either of these two riders could win. This race has had that much bad luck.
Lance Armstrong's good fortune seems at an end. I'll say more on that in another post. Garmin-Transitions lost Christian Vande Velde in a crash and it's odd to think he isn't the only rider on that team nursing broken bones. Frank Schleck was rumored to be even stronger than brother Andy this year. And then there was Cadel Evans' detonation. Even though this isn't the first time he has choked under pressure, his eight-minute slide down the mountain and the standings must have caused a few jaws to hang open, mine among them.
Speaking of surprises, what of Team Astana? Last winter I wrote of the skeleton crew that had been hired just to give them enough riders to qualify for the ProTour. I was critical of the team and dinged the formation for not having the climbers necessary to defend Contador when he would most need it. Tonight's meal will include a serving of my words.
What should we make of Alexander Vinokourov's performance so far? The great fear was that he would go rogue and ride for himself and challenge Contador's leadership. His performance, while good, has been erratic enough that I can't say whether he has been riding for himself or not. There certainly have been times when his riding hasn't seemed to be for the benefit of Contador, but then, in this race anything seems possible.
It is with the impossible in mind that arrive at Samuel Sanchez. Two podium finishes at the Vuelta are maybe on a par with a top-10 at the Tour de France, so almost no one seriously considered this guy to be a podium threat. Sure, he is the leader of Euskaltel-Euskadi, which is something like being a favorite if for no reason other than he is protected (in theory) by eight guys. But a real contender?
I'm beginning to think the battle for the last step of the podium is between Sanchez, Menchov, Gesink and Leipheimer. I think Van Den Broeck will crack, as will Basso, late in the Pyrenees. The fact that there is but one remaining time trial and it is at the end of the race will threaten a GC shuffle, and while we think the likely beneficiaries would be Contador, Menchov and Leipheimer, I refuse to bet. Anything seems possible right now.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel has 10 days. For 3 1/2, it beats many 4 star hotels. Good service, good food, friendly staff and in addition they serve us always with a smile. A beautiful place. The rooms are very clean. The site is very beautiful. At 18:00 hours every night has a car goes around with an insecticide to control insects, then return to your room because the site is found full of smoke. The pool is a salt water. It was very hot during the 10 days I was there, nothing to say on the temperature. MAS with the card, I could keep the room until 16 hours. There was also an iguana near my room (4231) and his name is Peter and he loves the croissants. The excellent buffet, snack bar and pizza super super delicious. The restaurant Yana the super and then they had the right to seven couples has a very special dinner at the pool and it was an unforgettable dinner. The snack bar, Guillermo, Angel and Julio are the best. Rene Yanel buffet and do good work.

My only negative are the beaches. Was being touted as the beaches of Cayo Largo but I was disappointed the beaches. The beach opposite the Hotel is a beautiful turquoise color but it is not translucent like Varadero. The beach is never quiet. For Sirena Beach, one must walk at least 20 minutes in the sand before reaching the edge of the beach and be careful not to go too far because the slope is very steep, so dangerous for a child. The best in my opinion is the Playa Paraiso, it is somewhat safer but not as nice as Varadero where the beach is quiet with no wave, because we do not see the bottom, I did not appreciate as For me the beach is very important to me.

Stock 15" wheel off set on an 08 reg cab 4x4?
I'm new on this site and bought my 08 4x4 new. I am going to 16" wheels for a winter/summer combo and need to know the stock off set for my original 15" wheels. My plan is to run 245-75-16 with maybe just a tb tweak in front.
After always owning Rangers, a B4000 and a Nissan I was skeptical of the Colorado but actually aside from a couple of small issues it is the best mini truck that I have ever owned.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply! I decided on a 25 mm offset after I measured the stock ##. and with the 245-75-16s it worked out perfectly. Granted the bigger tires and wheels are heavier than stock (but I felt in 2wd and 4wdh it was geared too low anyway). I am really optimistic with the look and possible performance increase both off road and in the snow. Big throttle still squeals the back tires until the locker hooks up. Fit is perfect and look is out of the park.. at least for me! Ride on pavement and on dirt roads has improved as well. Pics when I get a chance.
Now for a little more power without losing the economy of the I-4. (among other improvements)!..Great Truck!

text: Danish White Our Architect Collection is composed of an American Oak timber top layer bonded on to an engineered base to ensure stability. The boards come pre-finished with a near opaque white appearance, allowing the characteristics such as knots and variations of the grain of the timber to show through. The boards are tongue and grooved on ends and sides. They are sold with a flat Aluminium Oxide, UV resistant, low VOC coating. 30% of product is sold as random shorts and product is graded ABCD which means some boards will be clean and others will feature knots. Available sizes: Oak is a slow growing and beautiful natural resource. By using a 6mm, 4mm or 3mm top layer of American Oak instead of solid board the valuable oak species that is used stretches three times further. The engineered substrate is made from fast growing plantation timbers and provides a solid and incredibly stable base for the board. The oak forests are selectively felled and allowed to regenerate naturally. This product is available with the highest FSC Certification 100% Pure upon request. Timber is a natural product. Colour will vary from printed versions and samples. Boards will vary across every floor. It is this variation that gives timber its natural beauty and appeal. |

Found November 15, 2012 on
NFL Injury Report:
We found our earlier this week that Dallas Cowboys running
back DeMarco Murray is unlikely to return Sunday when his team takes on the Cleveland
Browns. If Murray is unable to suit up against the Browns, Clarence Hill of the
Sporting News says it's "unlikely" that the running back will be able to return
for Dallas' traditional game on Thanksgiving Day.
Hill notes that the Cowboys are playing it careful with
Murray and want to make sure he is back to 100 percent health before he
returns. He adds that Dallas only has one real practice between the Browns game
and Thanksgiving Day, which doesn't seem to offer Murray enough time to pass
the tests the team is putting him through.
If Murray is unable to go against the Browns and on
Thanksgiving, the Cowboys would continue to go with running back Felix Jones.

From release day, May 27th, until midnight July 4th, all royalties earned from the sales of A Strange Freedom: Blood & Fireworks, will be donated to http://www.dav.org in honor of my father who is a Vietnam Veteran and all who have sacrificed serving.
Writing About Witches and Vampires, War and Freedom, Blood and Sex
The inspiration behind my latest release, A Strange Freedom: Blood & Fireworks, came at me from all directions, tumbling together in a way that was as different as the title I came up with! LOL
First, I had stumbled over the story of how the pentagram became an accepted religious symbol on military gravestones. A lot of information about this long battle can be found here: http://paganinstitute.org/PIR/veterans_headstone.shtml Armed with knowledge and inspired, I imagined a story which would start in a graveyard, with that symbol long fought for present on a marker of a veteran.
This lead me to information about rituals of remembrance Wiccans perform to honor the dead. So, of course, my heroine became a witch. That was inevitable given my first source of inspiration, right?
Thinking about this scene, I pulled from experience having had many in my extended family who have served, and having grown up the daughter of a Vietnam veteran. I ended up using my grandmothers brothers name on the stone. The war I picked doing some math, wanting the veteran to be her grandfather. Ideas just began flying at me then, with me scrambling to keep up and get them down on paper before they flew on past me.
At this point, the idea of a man on a battlefield, promising his dying friend to take care of his family back home if he made it, struck me. Bridging my gap in time, a vampire seemed perfect. He could roam for centuries protecting the family, only to find himself one day in love with his friends granddaughter, a forbidden love in his eyes. The problematic relationship between a witch and vampire lead me full circle into the idea of what freedom truly means, the obscurity and variations inherit in the word. Are there always sacrifices involved in gaining absolute freedom? How can anothers freedom to chose infringe upon your own? You see how my mind works - quite frantically at times!
With all of these elements crashing around in my imagination, I had yet to chose a setting. Indecisive as usual, I started with the US holiday of Memorial Day due to the ritual of remembrance. I ended with the US holiday of July 4th because I thought the idea of fireworks going off overhead during the climatic ending of my story was a wonderful touch to build the emotion and ring loudly around the suspense. At this point, I could see it all so clearly, the beginning and the end, all I had to do was get the scene into my computer. The middle took some dealing with, a few minor issues and some spell hunting later though, I had worked it all out
So, I hope you will enjoy reading A Strange Freedom: Blood & Fireworks, as much as I did writing it. And what do you think of the cover, complements of my mind and Emma Hillmans hard work to make my imaginings come to life?
Can a witch gain her freedom to live as she chooses between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July?
A man was not exactly what Meranda was looking for when she went to her grandfathers grave for a ritual of remembrance on Memorial Day. However, what she thinks is a ghost in the heavy shadows of the night ends up a vampire.
When Merandas grandfather lay dying on a bloody battlefield in WWII, Alexander promised the man he would take care of his family if he got out of the war alive. Even though he returned to the states a night walker, he has done his best to honor that promise from a distance.
When Meranda is hurt due to his negligence, Alexander valiantly fights his own desires for her blood to save her. Only, once she is better, their lives clash. But, using a little magic, she plans to win their war by the time the fireworks light up the sky on Independence Day.

I was very interested in this article from JCO about taste and smell changes during chemotherapy. Any of us who have been through (or are going through) chemotherapy know that these changes happen, and there is little attention paid. The focus of care is much more on symptom control and side effect management, and the fact that everything tastes metallic or suddenly you can't stand the smell of roasting onions is fairly minor. Most women do find that their food preferences change during chemo; part of it is a wish for simple comfort food (there is a joke about the ideal chemo meal being mashed potatoes and mac and cheese) and part of it is that things really do taste different. Sometimes, I advise women to stay away from their usual favorites so those things aren't forever associated with these difficult months.
Here is the introduction and a link:
Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Taste and Smell
Changes in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy for Breast
Cancer or Gynecologic Malignancies
Smell and taste changes during chemotherapy are significant complaints of cancer patients. Loss of olfactory/gustatory function can lead to malnutrition, weight loss, and possibly a prolonged morbidity of chemotherapy-induced adverse effects, decreased quality of life, poor compliance, and even decreased therapy response. This prospective study comprehensively investigated, to our knowledge for the first time, smell and taste changes in a cohort of 87 patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer or gynecologic malignancies.
Patients and Methods
Olfactory function was tested using Sniffin' Sticks (Burghart; Wedel, Germany) and gustatory function was tested using taste strips before, during, and immediately and 3 months after chemotherapy.
Olfactory and gustatory function significantly decreased during chemotherapy and recovered almost completely 3 months after chemotherapy. Scores of odor thresholds were affected more than those of discrimination or identification. The olfactory function of older patients was affected more than that of younger patients. There was no difference in the olfactory function during chemotherapy with respect to the chemotherapeutic agent or initial diagnosis (breast or ovarian cancer). Regarding taste, scores of salty taste were affected more than scores of sweet, sour, or bitter taste. The gustatory function did not differ significantly during chemotherapy with respect to age or diagnosis but did differ with respect to the chemotherapeutic agent. Taxane-based chemotherapy caused the most severe disorders.
Chemotherapy has a significant but transient effect on olfactory and gustatory function, possibly causing reduced appetite, a low energy intake, and weight loss. Additional spices and flavoring may compensate for this diminished chemosensory function, enhancing patient compliance and quality of life.

By definition, a hung jury leaves everyone hanging — and few people happy.
And so it went Tuesday as jurors declared themselves at a deadlock in the trial of former Ralston teacher Nicholas Richter.
Richter's attorneys, Joe Howard and Ashley Trankle, were disappointed they didn't get an acquittal on all four counts of sexual assault by touching.
Prosecutors were incredulous that they didn't get a conviction, and Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine vowed to retry Richter at a later date.
The alleged victims — four honors students, ages 10 to 12 — were faced with the prospect of having to testify again.
And even the jurors seemed dazed. Several refused to talk as they rushed out of the courthouse. The jury foreman let out a deep breath and declined to comment. "It wouldn't be wise," he said. "It was very intense."
But one juror — a middle-age woman — gave a glimpse into what she described as tense and, at times, tedious jury deliberations that had wild swings.
The jury of three men and nine women initially voted 10-2 to find the 59-year-old Richter guilty of all four counts.
But by the end, that tally had changed to four guilty, eight not guilty. Of note, all three men voted not guilty.
The female juror said she never swayed from her not-guilty vote because of one overriding question she couldn't answer: Were the touches for sexual gratification?
"We knew the touching was wrong," she said, "but we couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Richter's intent was sexual."
Others on the jury disagreed, questioning what else Richter's intent could have been.
The four boys took the stand and accused Richter of groping. Two testified he touched the their penises over their clothing more than 10 times over the course of two school years when they were at his desk in the front of the classroom.
One boy said Richter touched his penis over his clothing one time each in second, third and fourth grade. A fourth boy described Richter rubbing his buttocks more than 10 times.
Prosecutors tried to bolster their case with the testimony of a 40-year-old man who said Richter groped his buttocks while he was a fifth-grader at a Council Bluffs elementary school in the early 1980s.
However, the state's case wasn't without problems.
A Ralston police officer tried to record an interview with Richter, but the app on his phone failed to save it. Though Richter made no admissions during that interview, the failure to record it was a "dumb" move, the juror said.
Howard argued that the officer tainted the boys' accounts by suggesting to their parents that the boys had been molested.
The woman juror said tracking the case — and the subtle changes in the boys' stories from deposition to trial — was confusing.
Outside court, the juror had to stop as she tried to recount one victim's testimony, saying: "I can't keep 'em all straight."
She said she came close to convicting Richter in connection with the second boy who took the stand. That boy broke down crying as he described Richter touching his penis outside his clothing for a couple of seconds on more than 10 occasions.
However, the woman said, prosecutors couldn't prove Richter's intent was sexual. She said she might have been convinced if the children had testified that they had been touched for longer periods of time and on multiple private parts.
During evening breaks in the weeklong trial, the woman said, she went as far as having her children sit on her lap to see if she accidentally brushed across their private areas. She also put her arm around them to see if she accidentally brushed across their private areas.
Her conclusion: Richter's touches could have been accidental.
"He's just a touchy guy," she said.
Other jurors concluded that Richter was far too touchy. The split led to some heated moments in the jury room.
"We got in arguments, and we had to apologize to one another," the juror said.
Lawyers on both sides were absorbing the news.
"Definitely mixed feelings," Howard said. "I'm just kind of disappointed we may have to do this again. But we learned from it. So next time, our case is going to be stronger."
Kleine, meanwhile, was meeting with his staff to review the trial. He said "it's unfortunate" the boys may have to go through "the trauma" of testifying again.
"That's our biggest concern," he said. "A hung jury is a part of the process. When you have 12 (jurors) and you're detailing four different cases, sometimes it can get a little confusing. Whatever their hangup was, we'll regroup and be ready to try the case again."
World-Herald staff writer Alissa Skelton contributed to this report.

Last week, the European Commission [official website] expressed its concern [Kyiv Post report] regarding a lack of transparency of Ukrainian hearings in prison, and declared that such a process does not correspond to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website]. In November, the Ukrainian Parliament voted against [agenda text] hearing amendments that may have freed [JURIST report] Tymoshenko by fining her rather than sentencing her for her criminal convictions. The EU has consistently condemned [JURIST report] the former prime minister's conviction as politically-motivated, and has indicated that the prosecution could harm Ukraine's bid for EU accession. Tymoshenko herself has also made efforts to demonstrate that the charges are motivated by her adversaries, but to no avail. In August, the Kiev Appeals Court refused an appeal of her detention for contempt charges for a lack of legal grounds to contest the arrest [JURIST reports]. Also, in June, Tymoshenko filed a complaint [JURIST report] with the ECHR alleging various violations of the European Convention of Human Rights [text, PDF] and arguing that her charges were politically engineered by current Ukrainian president and long-time political rival Viktor Yanukovych [official website]. Yanukovych narrowly defeated Tymoshenko in the presidential election in March 2010, but Tymoshenko has claimed that widespread voter fraud contributed to the outcome.

Putting Toxins In Perspective
Worrying about pesticide toxins is not productive when most mouths have are a toxin producing factory. Without good oral hygiene, toxins will enter the blood stream and digestive tract and cause havoc to the body.
Holland, MI (I-Newswire) January 29, 2013 - There are people who are rightfully fearful of the pesticides and toxins in and on the food supply. They buy organic fruits, vegetables, free-range chickens and cage-free eggs. That's great, BUT how many of these same people lack good oral hygiene or don't insist on good oral hygiene for their family? Those individuals who neglect or give cursory care to their oral health do not truly understand toxins. They don't realize that the amounts of toxins produced by the bugs in their mouth are doing far more damage to their health and longevity than the pesticides on that organic apple. (Yes, there are FDA approved pesticides on those organic products. They are just "organic pesticides" at "acceptable levels". Just because its organic doesn't mean that it's not toxic.)
The bugs that are in the mouth create higher and higher amounts of acid as time goes on between brushings. This results in a very low pH. Once the pH goes below 5.5, the enamel on the teeth goes into solution, causing cavities. A cavity is the enamel being eroded in the presence of this acid. The gum tissue inflames from this acid bath. Imagine the sites between teeth that have never seen a toothbrush bristle.
In a short amount of time (within 24 hours) the waste level from the bacteria in the mouth becomes very destructive, with higher volumes of acid and lower pH. In mature biofilms, the toxins of this waste matter can be damaging to the whole body not just the teeth. Slithering worm-like organisms called spirochetes are just one of the 20 or so species currently identified as being responsible for periodontal disease. But what about all the other organisms not responsible for periodontal disease? Those other bacteria and viruses are causing other diseases in the body. What happens to all the other bacterial excrement? Well, it gets ingested.
Just like the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum (botulism), is commonly understood as being responsible for food poisoning, the bacteria in the mouth are responsible for poisoning at every level. This could include cellular bursting of white blood cells or increasing permeability of the epithelial lining of all the arteries or complete organ destruction of the heart. Hence the entire body can be brought to lifelessness from these little guys. Unlike botulism which has a rapid onset after exposure, the bugs in the mouth whittle away at the systemic health slowly - usually over decades of time.
There are two types of toxins: exotoxins and endotoxins. "Exo" means out, "endo" means in. Exotoxins are from the excrement of the bacteria in the biofilm. Exotoxins are exported into other parts of the body. These are ingested through saliva and into the GI track. So, why the worry about the pesticide on that apple, when there is a toxin-generating-plant in the mouth and the body is constantly swallowing toxins from the biofilm factory?
Endotoxins are those in the cell wall or outer membrane of the bacteria. The endotoxins act right at or around the site of the inflammation. As blood cells engulf and attack the invading microbes, toxins are released from the cell walls of the bacteria, as the bacteria are being destroyed. Think little Pac Men chomping on the bacteria. As the Pac Men gobble up the bacteria, the toxins escape and are released in the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, these toxins are damaging the tissue of organs elsewhere in the body, not just the site around the periodontal involved tooth. So, people should not freak out when their kid doesn't wash that apple, they should freak out if their child is not cleaning their teeth thoroughly.
Usually pesticide toxins are transient, which means a person is not constantly exposed to the source. For example, one may get exposed to toxins in a batch of the corn flakes or the peanut butter or the apple sauce on the day they are eaten. Realize that all food has some sort of chemical contamination. So going organic is not the solution to eliminating this exposure. The population does what is possible to grow, wash and process the food supply. However, the exposure to the toxins growing in one's mouth is perpetual. That is, they are ever-present until teeth are cleaned. These toxins from under the gum line and around each tooth are out of control. They multiply all day, every day. They create the unbalanced, unhealthy, unattractive condition known as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is responsible for more tooth loss and other body issues than cavities or decay. It's important "toxins" are put in perspective and one realizes how toxic periodontal disease is.

We are the not-so-proud parent of a 3-year-old who eats only snack-size, prepackaged foods. Her diet lacks things such as, oh, nutrients. And in an effort to avoid meltdowns and public humiliation, we allow it. Mom of the Year, right? Thanks to MySuperSnack granola bites, we may be eking our way into contention. The all-natural, individually packaged, pop-in-your-mouth-size nuggets have gone over big with our tiny eater. The result of a playdate brainstorm between moms Silvia Gianni and Katie Jesionowski, the soft treats combine things parents care about (whole grains; a convenient, resealable pouch) with flavors kids like (chocolate chip, blueberry banana açai, apple raisin). But the real miracle here is that our child eats devours the snacks despite the fact that they contain seventeen vitamins and minerals, fiber, protein, superfruits, and ancient grains. In other words, it's an award-winning feat. Available at abesmarket.com, $3 a pouch. To find out more, go to mysuperfoodscompany.com.Photos: Courtesy of MySuperFoods
