God's Pharmacy!!

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made  dry land, planted a garden, made animals and  fish...All before making a human. 

He made and provided what we'd need before we were born.
These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.
We're such slow learners...God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! 

God's Pharmacy!  Amazing! 


A  sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye.  And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and  function of the eyes. 



A Tomato has four chambers  and is red. The heart has four chambers and  is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart  and blood food. 



Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape  looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. 



A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper  cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. 


Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they  look exactly like the human  kidneys. 



Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb  and many more look just like bones. These foods  specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23%  sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you  don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body  pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak.  These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the  body. 



Avocadoes, Eggplant and  Pears target the health and function of the womb  and cervix of the female - they look just like  these organs. Today's research shows that when a  woman eats one avocado a week, it balances  hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and  prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is  this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow  an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There  are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents  of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern  science has only studied and named about 141 of  them).



Figs are full of seeds and  hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers  of Sperm as well to overcome male  sterility.



Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. 


Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries 




Oranges , Grapefruits, and  other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary  glands of the female and actually assist the  health of the breasts and the movement of lymph  in and out of the breasts. 



Onions look like the  body's cells. Today's research shows onions help  clear waste materials from all of the body  cells. They even produce tears which wash the  epithelial layers of the eyes. A working  companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste  materials and dangerous free radicals from the  body.




 I Try To Live My Life  Everyday 
in Such A Way that when 
MY Feet Hit the Floor 
in the Morning Satan Shudders.. 
and Says "Uh Oh... She's   Awake!!!"

Chicken In A Blizzard

SOUTHEAST

Chick-fil-A gives free food to motorists stranded in Southern snowstorm





A snowstorm in the South is about as rare as a glass of unsweetened tea at a church supper. Folks around Birmingham, Ala. weren’t all that worried though. The storm was only supposed to dust the city – not even enough powder for a Southern snowman.

So when the first snowflakes began to fall, no one paid all that much attention. But then, the flakes kept falling. Before too long folks in places like Hoover and Inverness realized it was much more than a dusting. By that point, it was too late for anyone to do anything.

Icy interstates and highways soon became clogged with cars and trucks. Thousands of motorists soon found themselves stranded with nowhere to go – including many stuck on Highway 280.

But a good number of those stranded motorists were able to find shelter in the storm thanks to the kindness and generosity of Chick-fil-A restaurant employees and the restaurant's owner, Mark Meadows.

Once the snow started accumulating, Meadows closed the restaurant and sent his staff home. But a few hours later, many of them returned – unable to get to their homes.

“Our store is about a mile and a half from the interstate and it took me two hours to get there,” manager Audrey Pitt told me. “It was a parking lot as far as I could see.”

So Audrey left her car on the side of the interstate and joined a flock of bundled up drivers trudging through the snow.

“At one point there were more people walking than driving,” she said.

Some of the drivers had been stuck in their cars for nearly seven hours without any food or water. So the staff of the Chick-fil-A decided to lend a helping hand.

“We cooked several hundred sandwiches and stood out on both sides of 280 and handed out the sandwiches to anyone we could get to – as long as we had food to give out.”

The staffers braved the falling snow and ice, slipping and sliding, as they offered hot juicy chicken breasts tucked between two buttered buns. And Chick-fil-A refused to take a single penny for their sandwiches.

The meal was a gift – no strings attached.

For the frozen drivers, it was manna from heaven.

“They were very excited and extremely thankful,” she said. “People were thankful to get something to put in their stomachs.”

Audrey said they were especially surprised that the sandwiches were free. Why not make some extra money during the storm? It’s not like anyone could go to another restaurant. Chick-fil-A had a captive crowd of hungry customers. So why did they give away their food?

“This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit,” Audrey told me. “We were just trying to follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.”

Lauren Dango was one of those stranded motorists. She’s known Meadows for years and she was stunned when she saw him walking from car to car with Chick-fil-A sandwiches.



“I looked up and I’m like, what is he doing,” Dango told me. “He had a catering order and it got canceled, so he pulled over and started giving away food.”

And if that wasn’t enough, Meadows helped a driver maneuver along the icy road by pushing a car up an incline.

Dango was so touched by Meadows’ kindness, she sent a letter to Chick-fil-A’s corporate headquarters.
“Kudos to Mark Meadows for not only preaching the "second mile" concept, but actually living by it,” she wrote.

It’s no secret that Chick-fil-A was founded by a Christian family. And it’s no secret that they run their business on biblical values. What happened in Birmingham is an example of how those biblical values are played out.

“We just wanted to be able to help,” Audrey said. “Yesterday was such a hopeless situation. We wanted to do something to make people feel a little bit better. We were here. We had food and there were people outside who needed food. So it just made sense to do something for them.”

But Chick-fil-A’s generosity didn’t stop there.

“We opened up our dining room to anyone who wanted to sleep on a bench or a booth,” Audrey told me.
And this morning, the weary staff members fired up their ovens and began preparing chicken biscuits. The only thing that is closed – is Chick-fil-A’s cash register.

“We’re not open for business,” she said. ‘We’re just feeding people who are hungry.”

I’d say the Chick-fil-A team blessed a lot of people in Birmingham – but that’s not how Audrey sees it.
“It’s a blessing to us to be able to help people,” she said. “It really is.”



“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,” Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew. “I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.”

It was a Sunday school lesson illustrated on a snowy winter day along Highway 280 in Alabama with a chicken sandwich and a side of waffle fries.

Everyday Products You Probably Use The Wrong Way!

There were a few I never knew about!

1. Youve probably been ignoring this feature.


 Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs that secure the roll in place, so you dont have worry about it flying out every time you rip off a sheet.


2. Youve been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.

 You know how when you violently shake a container of Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice.


3. Forget to pack a spoon with that applesauce? No problem.





4. Youve been storing peanut butter the wrong way.


 Never arm wrestle with a jar of peanut butter, just to make sure its not oily on top and crumby on the bottom, again. Store it upside down, so the oils distribute evenly.



5. You havent been using ketchup cups to their full potential.


 Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.


6. Youre probably using the wrong plunger.

 This is easily the most recognizable plunger. Chances are you have one lying around the house. BUT, did you know its only meant to be used on clogged sinks?

 To unclog a toilet, you need a flange plunger, which doesnt have a flat bottom.


7. Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates.


 The containers actually are meant to unfold into a makeshift plate, which you can easily reassemble into a box for storing leftovers. 



8. Youre brushing with too much toothpaste.


 You only need to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for effective cleaning. Most ads feature globs of toothpaste the size of the brush because a.) it looks nice and b.) it makes you use up more toothpaste




9. Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.

Chances are youve been scooping the toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.


 But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?



10. Youve probably been placing toilet seat covers in the wrong direction.

 The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, only to realize youve dragged the cover down into the bowl.



11. Soda tabs double as straw holders.

 Turn the tab around so that it acts as holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.



12. Theres a foolproof way to keep your extension cords from coming undone.

 Plug the cords into a loop to avoid disconnection.



13. Pipe cleaners can be used to clean..ACTUAL PIPES.

 OK, sure, you can use them to make mess free crafts with your kids, but did you know you can also use them





14. Youve been serving juice boxes the wrong way.

 Pull the sides out so you child has something to grasp onto, stopping them from spilling.



15. Never break off more chocolate than you can chew again.

 To easily break off a single piece of Toblerone, pull toward the bar, not away from it.




16. You probably dont realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.

 That hanging hole doubles as a spoon rest, in a pinch.



17. Theres a much easier way to floss.

 Tie floss into a loop and never strangle your fingers again.



18. Soft-drink lids can double as coasters.


Take the lid from the top of cup (or grab an extra) and use it as a perfectly sized coaster.

Lemons - Who Knew?

Amazing frozen lemons 

All it is.....is a frozen lemon.  Now I'm always going to have a baggie of frozen lemons in my freezer!

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using, or consuming, the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use the whole lemon without waste?

Simple.. place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods. Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, whiskey.... the list is endless.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before. Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C.  Not anymore. Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles.

What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes? Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that's what you've been wasting. But  from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier. It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body.

So place your washed lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret! Better late than never, right?

The surprising benefits of lemon! Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.  How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that it destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!!!!

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. -- THERE ARE NO STRANGERS, ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T MET!!

The Definitive Answer To 20 Of Your Biggest Health Questions

Does olive oil prevent heart disease? 
 Short answer: Yes 
The health benefits of olive oil come from the presence of polyphenols, antioxidants that reduce the risk of heart diseases <http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/81/1/215S.full> and cancers.
But to get these healthy compounds, consumers should buy good-quality, fresh "extra-virgin" olive oil, which has the highest polyphenol content. Most commercially available olive oils have low levels of polyphenols
<http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-pick-the-healthiest-olive-oil-2013-7> associated with poor harvesting methods, improper storage, and heavy processing.
Do cough syrups work?
 Short answer: No 
In 2006, the nation's chest physicians agreed <http://www.nbcnews.com/id/10777506/ns/health-cold_and_flu/t/doctors-discourage-use-cough-medicine/#.UgqsK2T70Wc> that the majority of over-the-counter cough medicines don't actually work. These colorful syrups typically contain doses of codeine and dextromethorphan that are too small to be effective.
Only cough suppressants that contain older antihistamines seem to relieve coughs. That includes brompheniramine, an active ingredient in Dimetapp.


Does sugar cause hyperactivity?
 Short answer: No 
Following a review of 23 studies, a 1996 report <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7474248> published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that sugar "does not affect the behavior or cognitive performance of children."
The age-old myth that kids misbehave when they eat large amounts of candy, cookies, and other junk food, could be related to the type of events where these foods are typically served. For example, kids are more wound-up at birthday parties and during Halloween when sweet treats tend to flow freely.

Do sugary soft drinks lead to diabetes? 
 Short answer: Yes 
The majority of health research is stacked against sugar-sweetened soda <http://www.businessinsider.com/why-soda-is-bad-for-you-2013-5> . A large 2004 study <http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=199317> in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that women who drank one or more sugary drinks per day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 83% compared to those who consumed less than one of these beverages per month.

Do I need sunscreen with more than 30 SPF?
 Short answer: No 
Sunscreens with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 block about 97% of ultraviolet rays, while sunscreens with an SPF of higher than 30 block 97%-98%.
It's more important that you choose "broad-spectrum" sunscreen, meaning it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. Sunbathers also need to apply a generous amount of sunscreen <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2133.2006.07684.x/abstract%3bjsessionid=5863DBDE73CFD6CC3689B914B9F2B7AB.d04t01>  in order to get the full benefit of the SPF.

Is the MSG in Chinese likely to give you a headache?
 Short answer: No 
A review of 40 years of clinical trials, published in the journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners in 2006 <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-7599.2006.00160.x/abstract> , found that all previous research "failed to identify a consistent relationship between the consumption of MSG and the constellation of symptoms that comprise the syndrome," including headaches and asthma attacks.
The misconception spawned from several poorly-done small studies in the 1960s that seemed to connect
<http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM196804042781419> MSG with a variety of maladies that people experienced after eating at Chinese restaurants.

Learn more about the MSG myth here » <http://www.businessinsider.com/msg-allergy-doesnt-exist-2013-8>
Do nuts make you fat?

 Short answer: No 
As much as 75% of a nut is fat. But eating fat doesn't necessarily make you fat. The bigger factor leading to weight gain is portion-size. Luckily, nuts are loaded with healthy fats that keep you full. They're also a good source of protein and fiber.
One study even found that whole almonds have 20% less calories
<http://www.businessinsider.com/calorie-counts-arent-accurate-2013-7> than previously thought because a lot of the fat is excreted from the body.

Is walking as effective as running? 
 Short answer: No 
Calorie for calorie, whole fruit provides more nutritional benefits than drinking the pure juice of that fruit. That's because when you liquefy fruit, stripping away the peel and dumping the pulp, many ingredients like fiber, calcium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are lost.
For comparison, a five-ounce glass of orange juice that contains 69 calories has .3 grams of dietary fiber and 16 milligrams of calcium, whereas an orange with the same number of calories packs 3.1 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium.

Are all wheat breads better for you than white bread?
 Short answer: No 
Not all wheat breads are created equal. Wheat breads that contain all parts of the grain kernel, including the nutrient-rich germ and fiber-dense bran, must be labeled "whole grain" or "whole wheat."
Some wheat breads are just white bread with a little bit of caramel coloring to make the bread appear healthier, according to Reader's Digest.

Can a hot tub make me sick?
 Short answer: Yes 
Hot tubs — especially ones in spas, hotels, and gyms — are perfect breeding grounds for germs.
The water is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is just the right temperature to make microbes grow even faster. Even though hot tubs are treated with chlorine, the heat causes the disinfectant to break down faster than it would in regular pools.
The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps. A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease. This is what reportedly sickened
<http://abcnews.go.com/Health/legionnaires-outbreak-traced-back-playboy-mansion/story?id=12924405> more than 100 people at the Playboy Mansion back in 2011.

Does coffee cause cancer? 
 Short answer: No 
Coffee got a bad rap in the 1980s when a study linked drinking coffee to pancreatic cancer <http://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/12/us/study-links-coffee-use-to-pancreas-cancer.html> . The preliminary report was later debunked <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3063915/> .
More recently, health studies have swung in favor of the caffeinated beverage. Coffee has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20008687> , Parkinson's disease <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17522612> , liver cancer, and even suicide.

Do eggs raise cholesterol levels? 
 Short answer: No 
Although egg yolks are a major source of cholesterol — a waxy substance that resembles fat — researchers have learned that saturated fat has more of an impact on cholesterol in your blood than eating foods that contain cholesterol.
"Healthy individuals with normal blood cholesterol levels should now feel free to enjoy foods like eggs in their diet every day," the lead researcher from a 25-year University of Arizona study
<http://cals.arizona.edu/impacts/2000/cholesterol.html> on cholesterol concluded.

Can you drink too much water?
 Short answer: Yes 
It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen.
Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes. Drinking an excess of water, called water intoxication, dilutes the concentration of sodium in the blood leading to a condition known as hyponatremia. The symptoms of hyponatremia can range from nausea and confusion to seizures and even death in severe cases.
To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events.

Can yogurt ease digestive problems?
 Short answer: Yes 
Our digestive tract is filled with microorganisms — some good and some bad. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria <http://www.businessinsider.com/health-benefits-of-yogurt-2012-9> , generically called probiotics, that helps maintain a healthy balance. Probiotics can relieve several gastrointestinal problems, including constipation and diarrhea.
Certain brands of yogurts, like Activa by Dannon <http://www.activia.us.com/> , are marketed exclusively to treat tummy issues.

Do whitening toothpastes whiten teeth more than regular toothpastes?
 Short answer: No 
Whitening toothpastes usually contain peroxides and other strong abrasives that might make your teeth appear whiter by removing stains. Unlike at-home whitening strips and gels that contain bleach, these toothpastes do not actually change the color of your teeth.

Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers?
 Short answer: Yes 
But the plastic container should display the words "microwave safe." This means that the Food and Drug Administration has tested the container <http://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/HEALTHbeat_081606.htm> to make sure no chemicals used to make the plastic leech into foods during microwaving. If chemicals do seep out into food, the amounts are tiny and not dangerous to our health.
As a general guideline, plastic grocery bags as well as most plastic tubs that hold margarine, yogurt, cream cheese, and condiments are not microwave safe.

Can watching TV ruin your eyesight?
 Short answer: No 
Watching TV will not destroy your rods and cones as the outdated myth suggests. Before the 1950s, TVs emitted radiation that could increase an individual's risk of eye problems <http://www.utsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050823/news_lz1c23fact.html> after excessive TV viewing. Modern TVs have special shielding that blocks these harmful emissions.

Is red wine better for you than white wine?
 Short answer: Yes 
Red wine contains much more resveratrol than white wine, an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes that has been shown to fight off diseases associated with aging <http://www.businessinsider.com/health-benefits-of-resveratrol-in-red-wine-2013-3> .

Is bottled water better for you than tap water? 
 Short answer: No 
Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, although it is substantially more expensive.
A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actually more likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet
<http://www.businessinsider.com/bottled-water-is-more-dangerous-than-tap-water-2013-1> because it is less well-regulated.
Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers. While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only required to test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year.
