The Greater Palm Springs Area is a summer paradise in the middle of winter. Many Southern Californians escape the cold chills of the winter seas here. There are a number of great recreational activities, dining options, and natural exhibits to appreciate all year long.
Lake Cahuilla
Lake Cahuilla is a 113 acre lake located in La Quinta. It has fishing, RV parking, pick nicking, horseback riding, and camping. Lake Cahuilla is a pristine lake in the desert overlooking palm trees; there are also gorgeous views of the Santa Rosa Mountains here. It's a tranquil retreat from the busy streets of the Greater Palm Springs area. Those who have a California fishing license can fish here for trout; the lake is stocked twice a month.
Indian Oven
The Indian Oven is located in Cathedral City. They have mouth watering lunch plates on stainless steel dishes; Lunch plates are only $5.95 per person. The food is terrific and you can eat for vegetarians or meat lovers. Decorated in a traditional Indian decor this intimate restaurant is a great place for a nutritious lunch or dinner. The Indian Oven also has carry out service within the surrounding areas.
The Living Desert
For a limited time see the Birds of the Australian Outback over 300 birds featuring Cockatiels, Canaries and other birds. They fly free inside of an aviary where you can feed them with food sticks provided. This event is over by April 30, 2014.
Shuttle Bus Tours
If your lazy or you need a rest -from walking- I suggest you take the tram tours. It does cost extra but once you buy a ticket -it lasts you all day long. It gives you a good view of the entire area; the shuttle bus also functions as a taxi that helps you get from one exhibit to another -in no time at all.
The Wild Life Sanctuary
There are many wild animals at the The Living Desert. Some of the animals here are actually endangered species. These critters -very survival- may hinge on living in wildlife sanctuaries like this one. The Mexican Wolves are one of the endangered species here; you can see them living in a rocky terrain -as they would live in the wild. You can become a member of The Living Desert to help support the preservation of endangered species at The Living Desert.
The following are some of the types of animals living there:
· Wolves
· Jaguars
· Mountain Lions
· Hawks
· Owls
The Living Desert also includes many other species of exotic animals.
Basically an allergy is an inaccurate response to the body's immune system to a substance that under normal circumstances is not deleterious to the bodies health. The immune system starts sending white blood cells after foreign invaders that are not harmful to the body; this in turn causes more damage to the body then to the foreign substance.
Allergies can consist of nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, itching, shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, hives and skin rashes. With the proper herbs and herbal combinations one can find relief from reoccurring allergic reactions to foods and other substances. One can always go the conventional route but risk an entire bevy of side effects, because most over the counter drugs are toxic to the body.
Eucalyptus
The first herb that can be used for allergic reactions is eucalyptus leaf. They can be used to relieve symptoms of congestion.
Nettle
The second herb that can be used is nettle. Nettle will reduce inflammation in the sinus cavities. It has amazing antioxidants within it and can help protect from free radical damage. This herb will stop allergy attacks in their tracks.
Magnolia
The third herb that may be employed is magnolia flower (Magnolia liliflora, or xho yi hua). This is a centuries old Chinese medicine that will relieve headaches and also allow for the opening of the nasal passages, which are directly related with sinus problems. Leave your Tylenol in the medicine cabinet where it belongs.
Scutellaria
The fourth herb is called scutellaria (Scuttellaria baicalensis) root. This herb has antioxidants and flavonoids that will build up the immune system. This herb will stop the constriction of tissues during an allergic reaction.
Angelica
The fifth herb to be used for allergies is called wild angelica (Angelica dahurica or aka bai zhi) is also helpful for sinus problems. This herb helps relieve soreness in eyes, when the sinuses above the eyes have been obstructed. This powerful plant will regulate the swelling, create discharge of pus connected with a sinus infection, and open up the nasal passages. This herb will bring histamine levels into balance.
If you want to purchase any of the herbs listed above you can get them cheaply in pill form, from iherb.com. One of the ad links on this website.

Cancun is a wondrous beautiful tropical region of Quintana Roo. Here you will find beautiful beaches, amazing ruins of ancient civilizations, luxury hotel accommodations, downtown shopping, and fun recreational activities
There is so much to do and experience in this part of the world. Try to experience everything that you can, and even save some stuff to do for your next visit. I traveled there about 15 years ago, but I still remember many of the sites I saw -they were truly wondrous.
Beaches
You can visit the many beaches of Cancun. Cancun includes two major beach areas: The North Side, and The East Side.
The North Side
The North Side is a 14-mile semicircle that is right near the waters of Mujeres Bay. The North Side includes: Playa Caracol and Punta Cancun. These two beaches are great for children. These beaches are shallow; they are full of bars, restaurants, and water activities.
Other beaches on the North Side include Playa Langosta, Playa Las Perlas and Playa Tortugas. At these three beaches you can get shuttled to Isla Mujeres, play sand volleyball, and go to more restaurants and bars. For those that like submarine tours you can visit Playa Linda.
The East Side
The East Side of Cancun's beaches, borders the Caribbean Sea. These beeches have higher winds, and waves than in the north. Beaches such as Chac Mool, Gaviota Azul and Playa Marlin are great for sail boarding and para-sailing due to the high winds.
The best views can be found on Punta Nizuc and Playa Delfine. And for those that like ruins San Miguelito has a Mayan ruin, and a beach.
Be Cautious at Sea
Be sure not to carry too many valuables on you when traveling on a boat. You are in a foreign country, and there are pirates ate sea at times; be aware of this and use some caution and common sense. Even in modern times a bit of the ancient world of mystery and mayhem still exists in the oceans off the Caribbean.
Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza is one of the world's most breathtaking sites of ruins, pyramids, ancient observatories. Chichen Itza means "at the mouth of the well of Itza." The most stunning site there is The Kukulkan Pyramid , also known as, "El Castillo" (the castle).
The Chichen Itza site is prominently featured in Cinderella's music video Gypsy Road from the 1980's.The Pyramid is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, officially announced in 7-7-2007. The Pyramid is 24 meters high; it is a work of architectural genius.
Downtown Area
Cancun has a great downtown area for shopping, dining, and night life. You can shop all day, have some great food, a bohemia beer, and get some souvenirs of the local towns. If you want to see how the locals do it, check out Downtown Cancun.
The Hotel Zone
You can experience the Hotel Zone where you will find many great luxury hotels. The hotels are truly amazing; they have great restaurants, beaches, beautiful pools, and Jacuzzi's. You can visit them all to get a preview of some hotels you may want to stay at in the future. Some hotels sell cigars; they are some of the most flavorful cigars in the world.
Xcaret
Take a whole day to experience the Archaeological Park called Xcaret . Here you can swim and snorkel in natural oceanic waters through streams, tunnels, and caves. Participate in many fun activities, and watch amazing performances -with authentic dancers in their native Mayan costumes. Be sure to pack your swimsuit; there's tons of swimming through natural water ways.

Most people think about beer as something that is unhealthy and contributes to diseases such as cihrrosis. Why this maybe true for people who drink too much. Beer has other benefits when it is used responsibly. Beer can help prevent cancer, dementia, and extend life. We will explore these ideas in this blog.
Beer Lengthens Telomeres
The Voice of Russia website featured an article in 2013 that explained how beer lengthens telomeres. Telomeres are composed of DNA and proteins, and they are at the ends of the strands of DNA in our chromosomes. As Telomeres shorten, disease and illness follows. The study found that a 5-to-7 percent ethanol solution would lengthen the telomeres.
Xanthohumol
Beer has an herb called hops that contains a health promoting flavonoid called Xanthohumol. Anthony Rivas wrote a great article explaining beers health promoting properties. Xanthohumol is an anti-oxidant that gives the beer its flavor and its tanginess. The darker the beer the better.
Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered that Xanthohumol inhibits a family of enzymes called cytochromes P450 that activate the cancer process. Xanthohumol creates the "quinone reductase" process thait aids in the detoxification of carcinogens. It will inhibit tumor growth in the early stages.
Beer was studied by researchers from the University of Lanzhou, China in 2015. They found that the xanthohumol in beer had anti-cancer, heart protective, and anti-inflammation properties.
Larger Memory in Moderate Beer Drinks
Earlier studies from last year at Lanzhou, China showed that moderate drinkers had larger hippocampuses. Anthony went on to explain how the larger hippocampuses translated to a better episodic memory. The improved memory stimulation may play a role in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

B-17
The Hunza's are a remarkable culture in that the incidence of cancer is non-existent in most people. The average life span is about 84 years. There is one main reason for this, the people eat grains, and seeds that are very high in a nutritious food called B-17 (a vitamin) -that in fact contains a natural poison (cyanide) that kills cancer cells.
According to G. Edward, Griffinn (2007 p. 89) , the B-17 substance releases cyanide at the cancer cell only, only to that cancer cell and nowhere else in the body. In the body as whole it is inert, but at the cancer cell it release the poisons right on target.
The True Physical Cause of Cancer
By 1952, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr., a biochemist in San Francisco, had advanced the theory that cancer, like scurvy, and pellagra, is not caused by some kind of mysterious bacterium, virus, or toxin, but is merely a deficiency disease aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern-man's diet. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).
Further he found that this specific food substance was found in the nitriloside family, which naturally occurs in twelve-hundred edible plants found all over the globe. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).
Foods with the B-17 Vitamin
It is particularly prevalent in the seeds of those fruits in the Prunus Rosacea family (bitter almond, apricot, blackthorn, cherry, nectarine, peach, and plum), but also contained in grasses, maize, sorghum, millet, cassava, linseed, apple seeds, and many other foods that, generally, have been deleted from the menus of modern civilization. (Griffin, 2007 p. 56).
The highest amount of this substance is found in apricot seeds. Now before you start gobbling them down read this quote.
Therefore, it is wise to follow the simple rule that one should not eat at one time more seeds than he likely could consume if he also were eating a reasonable quantity of the whole fruit. (Griffin, 2007 p. 100).
Directions for Eating Apricot Kernels
I'd start with one kernel per day before you are comfortable with it. And then build it up two and three and four, and finally twelve. The above direct quote is a general guideline to abide by if you decide to eat apricot kernels. Further I would recommend you buy the book World Without Cancer and read it from front to back before trying this medicine.
Dosage
According to Griffin (2007) , It is recommended to eat 12 (fifty milligrams) seeds a day for people without a history of cancer in the family. And you eat seeds with foods, not alone due to the bitter taste, some examples would be salads, yogurt, even ice cream. Never eat them all at once, but divide it up in three meals for the entire day. So you eat 4 kernels, one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Now for those with cancer in their family it is recommended to take double the amount. Start slowly, build up your number of seeds, and always eat it with food and divide it up in small meals throughout the day. Never eat them all at once, and without food- too bitter- and it goes against the basic guideline noted. And always eat trusted domesticated apricot kernels, never eat wild apricot kernels. (Griffin, 2007)
Cassava Root In The Native American's Diet
Native American people commonly eat a root called cassava root. They're incidence of cancer is almost non-existent when on their native diet. When they stop eating their native diet then they are susceptible to disease. (Griffin, 2007)
The Eskimo and Their Native Diet
The third culture we'll mention is the Eskimos. They are almost an entirely meat eating society living in the ice cold temperatures. There main food is caribou meat which is rich with B-17. This is because the caribou consume many grasses containing B-17. (Griffin, 2007)
Unfortunately, modern civilization moved away from eating this bitter substance and therefore introduced disease. At one time Western people ate sorghum instead of sugar, also rich in B-17.
Food as Medicine
One suggestion, is instead of white flour pancakes, eat buckwheat (B-17) pancakes. The secret is to make your food your medicine.
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," was advise from the Greek physican Hippocrates. Why should food just be to stuff you up. (Anonymous, 2012).
Allergy Warnings and Apricot Trees to Avoid
Do not consume apricot seeds if you may be allergic to them, or if they are from a wild tree. Further do not consume them unless you abide by the guidelines in this article or as mentioned in the bookWorld Without Cancer.
Thank you for reading, and I wish you the best of health for your life.

Well I've been on the market for a new razor for some time now. My old electric razor broke down and I didn't want to buy the expensive plastic razors you get in a bag. They work really good but its like a few bucks every week, and that adds up really fast.
I'm not a big believer in infomericals but one night I saw the Rick Harrison ad. I thought it looked pretty straight forward and I read about safety razors being good.
This TV razor really works good, it shaves very smooth. This razor is great, and you only replace the razors, other than that it's a real money saver.

My Experience With Disease
I have been fascinated by alternative medicine for over
eighteen years. My grandfather died of cancer, my dad died of cancer, and both
my grandmother's died of cancer. So there has been a lot of disease in my
family and no one was effective in curing it. They were treated for the disease, but unfortunately there was no permanent cure. So I have been an enthusiast of holistic therapies
for a long time.
And I have wondered why on earth do people get disease and
die pre-maturely. There's a lot that we don't know; so I believe if you want to
be healthy you should keep an open mind and you should listen to many sources.
A Search for Health
If you want to be disease free for life. You must do a
number of things on a weekly to monthly basis. If you do these things you will
be healthy till you live to be 120 and beyond . Only you will determine how
long you will live, no one else.
1,000 mg of Marine
Grade Coral Calcium Daily
You need to have at least 1,000 mg of pure marine grade coral calcium
every day. This floods your body with oxygen and makes you alkaline therefore
making you immune to every chronic and life threatening disease. (Barefoot Cd)
Noble Prize Winner Dr. Otto Warburg's Theory
Most cancers must have an anaerobic (o xygen depleted)
environment to grow; an aerobic (oxygen rich) environment makes it impossible
for diseases like cancer to ever start.
Dr.
Otto Warburg said, "The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of
the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of
sugar." (Anonymous Wikipedia)
Take the Coral Calcium with Vitamin D for Maximum Absorption
You have to take the calcium with approximately 5,000 IU's
of vitamin D . Anything less will have no effect. The vitamin D helps your body
absorb the calcium effectively. You can also get vitamin D from exposure to
pure sunlight which you should get on a daily and weekly basis. (Barefoot Cd)
Vitamin D is essential to your health, follow this link for more information.
Get Sunlight Daily With No Shades and No Sunblock
If you go into the sun from 15-30 minutes daily, avoiding
the time frame of 11 am- 2pm due to harmful sunrays; then you'll be fine.
(Weirich Health at Last Radio)
Further basic alkalinity involves eating lots of fruits and vegetables,
which are naturally alkaline.
What Kind of Coral
Calcium and Vitamin D to Buy
I recommend you get something that says marine grade from
coral reefs in the ocean, not from the land; since marine grade is easier to
assimilate. An added side effect is the calcium will help you sleep when you take it at night.
