How Long Fingernails and Kitchen Sinks Can Kill You!!

Are you feeling sick more often than you like, and you can’t figure out why?? Does it seem as if you have an ongoing case of the flu or a cold that you just cannot shake?? Are you feeling great one day and like death the next?? Have you been to the doctor over and over, but you still do not feel well?

Even though we live in one of the cleanest countries on earth, there can still be germs lurking in your environment, and they can make you SICK, they can maybe even kill you!!

Don’t look at your toilet bowl in horror, you won’t find super germs there, unless you are a really bad housekeeper, and even if you don't know the business end of a mop or broom, most toilets do not harbor that much bacteria because we have some very effective cleaners that take care of that, even without the toilet brush. It is also a really good idea to put a bleach tab in the toilet tank once every 3 months.

The places where germs are probably lurking are in your kitchen and bathroom sinks! To be more precise, your kitchen and bathroom sink drains. Before you stop reading this…hold on!! If you do not believe it, just take a piece of thread and dangle it from the drain, leave it there for a week, and then pull it back up and take a look. You will be disgusted, I can guarantee that! Now, if you are washing your dishes by hand, just imagine how close the dishes you eat off are to this source of germs! There is a very easy remedy to this problem, ALWAYS use a dishpan, both to wash and rinse your dishes. You should also pour a small amount of bleach down the drain once a week….but be careful if you have a septic tank, too much bleach could make it stop working. You can do the same with your bathroom sinks, bleach them once a week, and avoid using them, except for brushing teeth, and hand washing. Keep small children away from the open drains. It is almost as bad as playing in a cesspool, and if you don't believe that do the string test if you haven't done it before!!

Next I would like to talk about another source of germs that millions of women have closer at hand than they would ever think! I found out about this when my best friend and her children got sick with a flu symptoms that lingered for months.

My best friend, Nancy (not her real name), got sick with the flu, and no one thought too much of it, because it was the flu season, and lots of people had the flu. Nancy worked at a nursing home, so she got a flu shot every year, but no one thought too much about that either, because the flu can have many variations. Nancy’s young daughters also got the flu, and just when they felt well enough to go back to school or work….they got sick again! This went on for many months and was a mystery. Nancy was a super diligent house keeper, and her house was spotless. We assumed that she was picking up the germs from the nursing home, however the other women who worked there were not getting sick, and even more importantly the nursing home patients were not getting sick.

Nancy wore plastic gloves all the time when she worked at the nursing home, and changed them after each patient, so how could she be bringing germs home??

After much thought, we started wondering if anything changed that would be causing all these problems. Nancy had excellent personal habits, she always washed her hands after going to the bathroom or when handling food. She used antibacterial hand soap and dish soap. Her daughters were young, but they were also very good with their personal habits…. Just as we were ready to give up, something dawned on me. Nancy had been wearing long acrylic nails for the last few months!! Because her own nails failed to grow she was very happy with this alternative, but I started to wonder if the artificial nails could be the source of the sickness that plagued Nancy and her daughters for months.

Nancy had the standard acrylic nails, not too long, not too short, but her boyfriend would often joke and ask her how she wiped her butt with such long fingernails?? The thought had entered my mind, but because Nancy was such a neat freak, and a serious hand washer, I never thought that long fingernails could be the problem…BUT THEY WERE!!

A friend of ours who worked at a lab tested under Nancy’s nails, (after a good hand washing), and we were all horrified to find what was under there!! The lab found both staff and ecoli germs, and even super germs that can easily kill people!! It was a good thing that Nancy wore plastic gloves at work, because she could have killed some of her patients who had a weakened immune system!! Nancy and her daughters were in excellent health, their immune systems were fighting most of these germs off, but if this had gone on longer, it could have turned deadly.

To say the least, we were all stunned and the tests were done again at a different lab with the same results!!

Nancy had the nails removed, and was tested again, that test came back negative. Nancy and her daughters recovered within a week, with no relapses.

After Nancy's experience with her fingernails, it has become standard practice for all employees to have short nails, and no acrylic nails at all. They were also required to use a nail brush during hand washes.

With Nancy being such a clean person, I would have never believed that she would have super germs under her nails. She even did dishes several times a day by hand…and still those germs were still lurking under her nails.

I used to think that long beautiful nails were so sexy and sophisticated, now I doubt that I will ever have long nails again, unless I get the stick on fingernails for a special occasion.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed that Oprah stopped wearing long fingernails years ago. Hmmm, makes you wonder if she just got sick of them, or if they really did make her sick!

Psychic Predictions 2009-2012, Part 3

In the last prediction I talked about Mexico becoming part of the USA. There are also predictions about Canada becoming part of the USA. Right now we are getting a huge amount of oil from Canada. Canada is another nation rich in natural resources with vast fields of oil, and if America cannot find an oil alternative, they may turn their attention to Canada.

Many Americans already love Canada and own property there for recreational purposes. Statehood for Mexico will be a bitter pill to swallow, but not so for Canada.

Do you think I am crazy??

Well, have you noticed that the government is building something they call the "North American" and/or the "Trans Continent Corridor"? What is that?? It is a super high way that starts in Mexico, goes through the heartland of the USA, and continues north into Canada. Now why would the gov be building something like that?? The only thing that I can think of is that they want to move something....fast. Maybe troops, maybe supplies, maybe both. Maybe...if we have a big chill event, it will be an escape route into Mexico where it will be a lot warmer than Canada or the USA.

Yes, a big chill event is also predicted. I will go into greater details about that in another blog.

Look for Psychic Predictions, Part 4 ...coming in the near future.

Getting the SICK out of SICKO!!

Getting the SICK out of SICKO!

OK, I went to see Sicko, and once again Michael Moore has shown us just how greedy the
big bad insurance companies can be, while the little guy gets the short end of the stick.

So..what else is new?? We really did not know this before? Come on!! The American
consumer is more sophisticated than that!

Yes, universal health care would be the way to go, but just think about some other things
for a minute. Let’s think about where WE THE PEOPLE are at fault, instead of pointing
and waving the finger at everyone else.

WE have to be RESPONSIBLE for our own good health!!! WOW, what a new idea??
No, I don’t think so, it is something that has been going on for hundreds of years in this
country, when people took care of their own, and never expected a helping hand from
anyone or anywhere!

Recently, I came across tax records from the years 1850-1899 for Dodge County, WI. I
was amazed at how many of these people, without modern medicine, lived well into their
late 70s and 80s! These were settlers from Bavaria and Prussia, and some how, some way,
they managed to live long and productive lives, with just folk remedies. They did not
even have antibiotics in those days. One of those people was my great -grandmother, who
brought 15 children into the world, all born at home, and lost only one in infancy!
Obviously, we are missing something here, why are we all so unhealthy these days??

If my German grandmother was alive today, she would have all these overweight,
unhealthy kids WORKING and on a DIET!! She would be raising holy hell with these
kids that lay in front of the TV or computer all day long, and then jump up and make
themselves mac and cheese in the microwave. How healthy are these future Americans??

When I was a kid, we were outside every chance we got.( With A German grandmother
you had no choice, stay inside and she would find a “chore” for us. LOL!) In the summer,
we were up and out early in the morning, and we “played “ all day long ! What a radical
idea! Kids going outside and occupying themselves all day long! WOW!! We played
baseball, and hopscotch, and we went swimming. We had tree houses and forts, and a
million places in the neighborhood where we would gather to just be kids and have fun, a
lost art today. When our mothers finally called us in for dinner at night, we were all dirty,
and our knees were skinned, but I bet you that we were 10 times healthier than the kids of
today. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?? We are fat and unfit, but we want
to blame the lack of universal health care for all our problems! Get a life!!

Has anyone even noticed that kids don’t go ice skating anymore?? Not that many years
ago, every quiet pond in winter was covered with kids ice skating, and sledding. Now...it
is too cold for our kids. They can’t go outside and play, because they might have an ear
infection, or asthma, or maybe the little buggers are just plain constipated from all that
fast food their working mothers are feeding them.

For that matter, how healthy are the parents?? Fat parents have fat kids. If the parents are
laying around in a dirty house all day, eating take out pizza, their kids are going to do the
same. For goodness sake, people do not even sit down to a decent family dinner
anymore...probably because making a meal and doing the dishes are now considered
“work”, something to be avoided at all costs.

If you were selling health insurance, and wanted to stay in business, and make a profit,
would YOU insure a fat family?? I don’t think so. So why should we get angry when an
insurance company is only using good business practices, something ANY American in
business is doing? It’s a lot better than going bankrupt.Since when in this country, is it a
BAD thing to want to make a profit from a business??

Have you ever considered that the problems we are having with health care is not the fault
of the insurance companies or of the government, it is the fault of the people who don’t
care about their health until they get sick, and then they lay there, big fat slugs, expecting
everyone to cater to them, for something they brought on all by themselves! Eating
yourself into bad health is no different than ruining your health with drugs and alcohol!

Let’s talk about drugs and alcohol, that is something no one wants to be honest about
when they apply for health insurance. We all know that drugs are rampant in America, but
I bet your bottom dollar that no one admits to using drugs on an application to health
insurance. When these people lie, and then they get sick, and they get big payments from
their health insurance companies....YOU are the one who will be paying out more for
health insurance, because YOU are the one who will ultimately be paying for other
people’s bad health choices, with or without universal health care!

Is personal responsibility dead in this country?

I will be blogging some more on this subject in the future. I would appreciate your input.
Please leave your comments.

Psychic Predictions 2009-2012 Part 2

Psychic Predictions 2009-2012
Part 2

I re-read the old lines of the journal, wondering how these psychic predictions could
ever come to past, and I must admit, I am astonished how they fit in with world events
today!

The first prediction on this blog was about the detonation of nuclear weapons in the
Middle East. To be honest, that prediction never seemed to worry me too much, because
the Middle East, and especially Iran, and Iraq, seemed no more to me than endless miles
of dirty, gritty sand, and GOD FORSAKEN land and countries, but there is something that we need in this God forsaken place, and that is oil. Without oil, what will we do??

For that answer I go back to the journal of psychic predictions, and there are some BIG SURPRISES!!
Provided that there really is a nuclear exchange in the Middle East, and America has to look elsewhere for oil....this next big prediction seems to make sense.
And so, here is the next big prediction.....
MEXICO WILL BECOME THE 51ST STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA!!

Something that many people do not know is that Mexico is a very, very rich country!
They have massive amounts of both gold and OIL, and the only reason the people are so
poor is because there are drug lords at the top who suck the money away from the poor
working Mexicans, much the same way Saddam kept all the oil money to himself while
the rest of the country starved.

When America turns her might and interest towards Mexico she is solving many
problems with one solution. America needs oil. Mexico has oil. America needs to stop the
drugs coming over the border from Mexico. 90% of the drugs in America comes from
Mexico. When American troops go in and take out the drug lords of Mexico, drug usage
will drop drastically in America, as predicted by many different psychics. And another big
problem, IMMIGRATION, is also instantly solved. Mexican nationals no longer want to
flee across the borders because they are now paid a decent and livable wage in their own
country. Many, many Mexicans who now live in America, will return to Mexico. These people never wanted to leave Mexico and did so in desperation.

Of course there will be plenty of people against the annex of Mexico, but little by little
people north and south of the border will see the benefits to both countries, and America
will emerge more powerful, more a super power than ever before. America will get the natural resources she needs, and Mexico will no longer be a
third world country with a few on top getting all the wealth.

There are many more psychic predictions in the journals. Don’t forget to come back and
find out what else is in store for America!

Psychic Predictions 2009-2012 Part 1

Psychic Predictions
2009-2012
Part 1

If you are like most people you are probably wondering what in the heck is in store for mankind. For years I have studied various types of predictions, and I also went to numerous psychics for personal readings. I will be honest, at first I thought it was all a big hoax, however after many years of study, I have found that the psychics are more accurate than I ever gave them credit for. I have kept a journal with 20 years worth of readings. From that journal, I will write the following predictions, which are COMBINATIONS of the psychic readings. Bit by bit, piece by piece, I have tried to put the puzzle together.

Warning: If you are bothered by horrific events, you would be better off not reading the predictions. If you are a worrier, do not read these predictions. If you think you can take the truth, by all means be my guest….and delve deep into the mysteries of the unknown!!

Psychic Predictions for 2009: This prediction will happen during the waxing moon of August, 2009….

The war in Iraq will come to an unexpected halt when nuclear weapons are detonated in the Middle East. This prediction was made in mar of 1990. ( There are more specifics to this prediction, but I thought it was irresponsible to list them in this blog.)

You may be asking yourself who predicted these things, and I will tell you that I did not always record the psychic’s name, nor did I have the same psychic over and over for a reading. And so…their names are now lost to time, unless of course they have a blog somewhere of their own.

That’s all for now, but please come back; there are many predictions yet to be entered here!! If these predictions come true, you may no longer recognize the town you live in! Yes, it gets that bad!

No Drug Nail Fungus Cure

OK, you know who you are!! You are the people who are afraid to show your feet to the world. It's summer and you are not wearing sandals, you would not be caught dead going barefoot, because you have toenails that look deformed and ugly due to nail fungus.

You have probably tried something over the counter, and that just ended up being a big waste of time and money, because nail fungus, whether toenail, or fingernail, is very, very difficult to get rid of. And, here is the bad news, the older you get, the easier it is to get nail fungus.

If you talked to your doctor, or watched TV commercials, there are drugs out there that are used to eradicate nail fungus, but there is a down side. You have to take that drug for 6 months straight, plus the drugs used to treat nail fungus can damage your liver. And if that is not bad enough, the fungus often comes back, even after numerous treatments!! Plus, it is costly.

So what do you do?? Go around hiding your feet or hands forever?

No way!! There is a way to get rid of that ugly nail fungus and keep it away. And...it will cost less than 3.00!! It is all natural, and you can use it as long as you want with no side effects at all!!

What is it?? APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!! Yes!! All you do is soak your feet or hands for 5 minutes a day, and within two weeks you are going to notice a dramatic improvement. Within a few months, the fungus should be gone! To keep it away forever, soak your nails for 5 minutes once a week.

Here are detailed directions:
Go to the grocery store and get the cheap apple cider vinegar in the plastic jug. DO NOT buy the fancy kind you get at a health food store, with the mother, because that kind does not work for this purpose.
Find a container that you can get your hand or foot in, pour enough vinegar in the container to submerge your hand or foot. ( This is also an excellent cure for athlete's foot!) You can re use the same vinegar, change it every two weeks.
Now you are ready...just soak the affected nails for 5 minutes once a day. You will be the best judge to decide how many weeks you need to soak. You want to make sure there is no sign of the fungus before you stop the daily soak. Most people's fungus is gone after two months of daily soaking.
After that, soak once a week for 5 minutes as a preventative.

Just give it a try, what do you have to lose? So far, everyone I know who has tried this simple remedy had excellent results!
Good Luck!! Keep Soaking!! It Works!!
