A NOTE FROM DONNA

Have you visited the site lately?

We've been making a lot of changes over the past
couple of months and do hope that you can find
things easier and enjoy the content there.

One of the things we changed is being able to
search the ezines separate from the rest of the site.
That's handy if you want to find something you know
you saw in a previous issue without having to dig
through the entire archive.

If you haven't seen the site lately, drop on by now:

If you want to give us any comments (good OR bad),
we always welcome them.

Hang in there! Fall is almost here! :-)

SIGNS OF AN EATING DISORDER

Of the 5 million to 8 million women in the United States,
who currently suffer from an eating disorder, 50,000 are
expected to die. It is important to catch this disease
early. Look for changes in young girls (and boys), such as
no longer eating favorite foods, having excuses for not
eating, and withdrawing from activities to spend more time
exercising. If you suspect unhealthy tendencies, become
informed parents.

CONVERTING LAWN TO NATIVE PLANTS

The above "herb" is commonly considered a "weed" in the yard. You may
consider doing what many folks are doing with the grass areas of their yards
- they are gradually converting them over to native plants that rarely need
watering or fertilizing once established. The initial conversion costs are
quickly regained, and think of all the time you won't need to be mowing.
You will also attract and benefit many forms of life that depend on native
plants for survival. Read more about converting:

GOOD HEALTH FOR WHOLE FAMILY

"We are still enjoying good health, free from doctor's visits. We continue
to use herbs when symptoms arise and see great results. My children are
doing well. They hardly ever get sick. I am so thankful that my
sister-in-law got me to take the classes you offered. It has helped me
tremendously in recognizing symptoms and treating them effectively. I think
it has been over 2 years since they've been to the doctor and I can't
remember when they've had over-the-counter medication." G.M.

FUNNY HEALTH ANSWERS
(Sent in by Robin Sockness of Atlanta)

Health Question:
I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

Answer: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it.
Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you
live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by
driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Health Question:
Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

Answer: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and
corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than
an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy
vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily
allowance of vegetable slop.

Health Question:
What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?

Answer: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is "No Pain-No
Pain".
