Baby Carrots and Cancer

Timing is always interesting. My sister just sent me this. I do buy baby carrots and it's not because they are aesthetic, but because it's quick and easy to grab them. But I don't always get to eat them that fast and they do get the white "glow" to them. Scary to think what is in the foods we eat. Read more...

Subject: Baby Carrots

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots - most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following:
Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them) this is the same chlorine used in your pool).

Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces.
At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables?

Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer..
I thought this was worth passing on. Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.

I used to buy those baby carrots for vegetable dips. I know that I will never buy them again!!!!

Beginner's Luck Opportunity for Growth

The Bridge ~ Step 19 ~ Beginner's Luck

As soon as you see things in new way, with a perspective of gratitude and an opportunity for growth, you will be rewarded immensely

One evening in our spiritual guidance session Tina was talking about invisible influences like emotions, cellphone frequencies, TV and radio waves and so forth which surrounded us. She also said that our Intenders Circles always had invisible beings who gathered around us and that these helpers saw to it that the newcomers" first few intentions were manifested very quickly and in such a way that they couldn't be missed. She jokingly called it a Beginners Luck Factor and said that we should tell those who were new to our Circles not to hold back, but to "go for it" and expect that whatever they were intending would come to them easily and effortlessly. Later, she also told us that it was not really luck at all but a law which calls forth special help from the invisible realms to rally around anyone who chooses to dedicate their intentions to the Highest Good.

My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am open to receive from both expected and unexpected sources.

What is the best thing we can do for ourselves to live a long healthy life? Increase Glutathione Levels. And How?

Glutathione is a compound classified as a tripeptide made of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Glutathione is also found in every part of the body, especially the lungs, intestinal tract, and liver. The body produces and stores the largest amounts of GSH in the liver, where it is used to detoxify harmful compounds so that they can be removed from the body through the bile. The liver also supplies GSH directly to red and white blood cells in the bloodstream; it helps keep red blood and white blood cells healthy to maximize the disease-fighting power of the immune system. Glutathione also appears to have an anti-aging affect on the body. GSH levels decline with age, and a lack of glutathione has been shown to leave the body more vulnerable to damage by free radicals, thus speeding up oxidation (wearing down) of the body.
