I get Dr. Kim’s healthy newsletter. I do not always like what he has to say and honestly I do not always like what I read. This letter runs riot over the main stream media’s reports.
Dr. Ben Kim’s Natural Health Newsletter
August 10, 2009
Dear Reader,
This is a question that I receive regularly, and I sense
that most people who ask it love their red wine and want
some assurance that they can go on drinking it without
compromising their health in the long run.
To the best of my knowledge, the health-promoting nutrients
in red wine are derived almost entirely from the skins and
seeds of the grapes that are used to make the wine. The
most prevalent such nutrients are resveratrol, quercetin,
and various polyphenols.
Alcohol in red wine is NOT a health-promoting nutrient.
The physiological effects of being relaxed and enjoying
time with family and friends – circumstances that often
surround drinking red wine – may lead to a lowered risk of
cardiovascular disease, but alcohol itself does not prop
up cellular health.
In fact, all relevant studies that I’ve reviewed have me
convinced that long term consumption of alcohol increases
risk of developing a number of chronic neurological
conditions.
So drinking red wine in moderation – say 3-4 glasses a
week – if done in the context of relaxing with family and
friends is likely fine for people who aren’t disposed to
becoming alcoholics.
But a better choice would be to enjoy fresh, red or black
grapes with family and friends.
Please consider sharing this bit with family and friends
who mistakenly believe that alcohol itself is healthy.
In an attempt to find organic farmers and other natural resources I came across this site. This is their story. The number of resources they list are numerous and a delight if you are asking yourself the question “where do I find it”?

IF you have any questions let me know. I will follow up.
Have a great day-I am off to the farmers market, then to the pool for some laps, and to work.

Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged .. it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.
‘It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.. Just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you’ve put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories!
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank.
I am still depositing.
‘Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
Most of us do not have time to pay attention to the Bills are elected leaders are passing. THIS ONE however, must be different. Page 429 and 430 in particular has me outraged and terrified.

I am pretty sure you are safer eating the dirt real carrots are grown in.
The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the
larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which
cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots – most people probably know
this already. What you may not know and should know is the following:
Once the carrots are cut and
shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and
chlorine in order to preserve them. (this is the same chlorine used in
your pool). Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine. You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white
covering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables?
Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer.. I thought this was worth
passing on. Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.
I used to buy those baby carrots for vegetable dips. Not any more…
