Introduction
Alzheimer’s disease. If those words don’t give you a shiver, they should. Unlike most other diseases that twist and damage our bodies, Alzheimer’s twists and damages our thoughts, memories, emotions, judgment, and personality—things that combine to create our sense of self. When this disease strikes families, caregivers often sadly relate that they lose the person they love long before their loved one finally passes on. It’s no surprise that a recent survey showed that Americans over age 55 fear Alzheimer’s more than diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. But though this disease is fearsome and deadly, we are not powerless to fight back. The more we learn about how this disease develops in the first place, the better we become at prevention, and at greatly slowing down the progression of this illness. And someday, we will know how to cure it.
What Causes Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a terminal and incurable brain disease, and not merely a consequence of aging. It is the 7th most common cause of death in the United States. And if we added in the number of people with diseases that are made worse by Alzheimer’s, it would become the 4th leading cause of death! The number of people with this disease continues to grow - 14 million people are expected to have Alzheimer’s by the year 2050. Click to Continue...

Just Ask Terry . . .
Q. Dear Terry, “I guess I have a dumb question to ask you, but do you have any idea what I can treat my dog with naturally for fleas and ticks? My vet wants me to use the commercial flea and tick powder but I was hoping to find something natural.” Carol B., Red Wing, MN
A. Dear Carol, That’s not such a dumb question. In fact, we went through the same search for our two dogs. We did not want to treat them with harmful chemicals and searched for something to treat them naturally. When we first got them, they picked up a few ticks running through the woods while we hiked with them. After our search, we found that the essential oil, Rose geranium, works fantastically. We have two Australian Shepherds. They’re just pups, but the male, Buddy, is about 60 pounds, and Bella is about 30 pounds. So for Buddy, we put 3 or 4 drops of the Rose geranium oil around his neckline and for Bella we use 2 to 3 drops, and they have not had a tick since we started using this essential oil. It is best not to apply it full strength, but to dilute the Rose geranium oil in a small amount of olive oil or honey and apply diluted. Whether or not this works for fleas, I’m not sure, since our puppies have never had fleas. Personally, I think fleas are the result of a bad diet. We never feed our puppies’ table scraps or junk food.

San Francisco’s Toxic Sludge is Good for You!

Terry's healthy comment of the week:
Did you know that eating whole flax seeds may not be giving you any omega-3s? That's because they are often not digested, and they pass right through you (unless you chew them extremely well, of course). It's better to grind whole flax seeds yourself, then use that in your cereals, breads or smoothies.
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria:
A Mark of Honor
Oftentimes, challenges are merely distractions meant to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn't as friendly to you as you'd like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture. You can't allow the little things to open the door to strife in your life.
In the Bible, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Iliab tried to confront him. David knew that arguing with Iliab wasn't even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn't want to be distracted. He simply "turned away" from Iliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do. In our own lives today, most frustrations aren't worth our energy. When we avoid strife, it is a mark of honor.
Today, I encourage you to turn away from strife. Keep your focus on what God has called you to do. As you do, you will live in honor, and you'll move forward in the destiny He has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory in my life. Give me the wisdom and courage I need to walk away from strife so I can focus on the destiny You have prepared for me. I love You and bless You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
