Hi all,

It took a few days more but I hope it’s worth the wait. Part 3 of the mini series on food is in the articles database at last. It took longer than expected because there was a lot of writing to do to complete the article. It ended up with over 1900 words, so not the more common 500 word quick read there!

Anyway, the whole series winds up and ties most of the loose ends when it comes to the food we all eat. I say most and not all, because I don’t think you can ever be so exact as to categorically state that all loose ends are tied up - because the best of us is bound to miss something. That’s just part of being human, I suppose.

Alternative Cures has also now got a new(ish) sister on Squidoo at http://www.squidoo.com/alt-cures/.

I put the lens up to give some more exposure to this blog and its parent website and so spread the word to a wider audience. It’s all good stuff - natural is the way to go and I hope that by touching a few more souls I might be able to take this wonderful and organic movement forward a little further. The majority of people still need some convincing - or hard, see it with their own eyes proof to get them to see what is to the already convinced and converted, the obvious truth.

That there is an alternative and it is right there before our very eyes. All we have to do is look and we’ll see.

I’ll leave you with that thought provoking thought… Until next time,

Hi,

Apologies for the lack of posts here over the last couple of weeks - I’ve been very busy with The Honest Way and a new series of articles I’m putting together over there has been taking all my time up!

But fear not! I’m still here and will continue with the articles for Alternative Cures. The next one is ready for upload, which will complete the three part mini-series on organic food.

Also, I have something that might be of interest to any couples who may have been having trouble getting pregnant. On my Products Page, I have published details of a FREE 5 day mini-series on fertility problems that surely is worthy of a look. There is a sales pitch at the end of it to buy a ebook, but if you don’t want that, simply walk away! You get to keep the free mini-series in any case and you’ve lost nothing!

That’s all for now,

Call in again soon!

Sounds like another article has been released on the site, doesn’t it?

Well, it certainly has. The second part in the three part mini-series on mass produced and intensively (or insensitively?) farmed produce versus organically produced meat, fruit and vegetables has been published and is patiently awaiting you eager readers!

Check the articles out right here!

On a sterner note, here is an interesting fact about the banned pesticide DDT. Did you know that it is an effective control for the malaria carrying mosquito? So effective, in fact that in September 2006 the world-wide ban on DDT was lifted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in order that it be developed and used in the fight against this horrific disease that kills over a million people around the world annually.

Ok, granted it’s not ground breaking news, but if you didn’t already know that, you do now!

Thanks for looking in, see you again soon

A big deal is constantly being made about the amount of cholesterol floating around in a person’s bloodstream. If its too much (which is what most people worry about), then it can lead to well publicised health risks, such as artery damage and heart attacks.

But that’s not the whole story, by any means. There are two main types of proteins that are linked with cholesterol, LDL or bad cholesterol and HDL or good cholesterol. There is a third, known as trygicerides which when at a high level can also carry the risk of heart disease.

Not all doctors agree completely on what constitutes a “safe” level of each of these proteins, although standards have been set down by various government health bodies by which doctors can make accurate diagnoses of their patients’ potential for associated health problems.

For a more detailed report on these figures and more information all about cholesterol, please read the latest article in the articles database at Alternative Cures.

PS: The first of three articles on the hidden dangers in modern farmed produce has also been uploaded to the article database, with the next two in the mini-series to follow soon.

Thanks for looking in, see you again soon!
