Because Charlie Crist, Florida’s governor, proclaimed May as Electromagnetic Sensitivity Month I felt it important to include a reference to the following article. Along with a concern about rising rates of thyroid cancer I think it is worthwhile to consider the implications of fluoride in the water supply, fluoride in many drugs and in pink salt or found in other places along with increasing cell phone use and increasing rates of exposure to ionizing radiation or depleted uranium as vectors for this serious health concern.

Thyroid Cancer Increasing, Scientists Don’t Know Why

ScienceDaily (2009-05-05) — It’s a medical mystery that has been developing for at least a decade: thyroid cancer — not breast, prostate, lung, or colon cancer — is the fastest increasing cancer among women and men in the United States. …  Read full article

EHS is a serious and growing illness that most politicians and doctors in North America are not willing to even talk about. Thanks to the brave and sensible stance of Mayor Ritter and her council, EHS will now get the recognition that it deserves.

The Viagra by Pfizer is very popular in the present. Part of the physiological process of erection involves the parasympathetic nervous system causing the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the cavernous body of penis. Nitric oxide adheres to the receptors of the enzyme guanilat cyclase (cGMP) resulting in an increase in the levels of cyclic Guanosine monophosphate, facilitating relaxation of smooth muscle (vasodilation) in the cavernous body and causing an increase in the entry of blood and an erection.

Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 that is responsible for metabolizing cGMP in the cavernous body. The molecular structure of sildenafil is similar to that of cGMP and acts as agent uptake cavernous PDE5 in the body, resulting in more cGMP and better erections. Without sexual stimulation, and therefore without activation of the system NO / cGMP, sildenafil did not cause an erection. The tadalafil (Cialis ) and Vardenafil (Levitra ) are other medications that work the same way. Sildenafil is metabolized by enzymes liver and excreted by the liver and kidneys. If taken with a meal high in fat, may be a delay in absorption of sildenafil and the maximum effect can be seen as slightly reduced the plasma concentration will be lower.

It’s never fun to get sick or get injured. It can sometimes be frustrating to go to the doctor and have him tell you that all you have is the flu or an over use type of injury. A favorite personal motto in my life is this: No one knows my body better than I do. Is it really necessary to go to the doctor for every bump, scrape, sore throat, or cough? In my opinion, no, it’s not necessary. You know your body better than anyone else. If you’re a bit more concerned about a particular symptom, however, there are ways of finding our what your symptoms may indicate without leaving your home. There are several websites that allow you to enter in your symptoms. You may be wondering, “Where exactly can I check my symptoms online?” Before we look at a few individual websites, let’s first take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of online symptom checking.

Advantages To Online Symptom Checking

One advantage of using a website to check your symptoms is to determine whether a doctor’s visit is needed or not. If you’ve got a muscle cramp in your lower leg, you might discover it’s due to over exertion from your last workout. It may just be a muscle knot that you can massage to make it better. Or you might learn that the pain in your foot might actually be a condition called plantar fascitis, in which case, it’s best to get it checked out.

Disadvantages To Online Symptom Checking

There are disadvantages as well to trying to self diagnose yourself. There may be underlying symptoms you aren’t aware of. For example, let’s say you’ve looked up your symptoms and you’ve come to the conclusion that you have some sort of anxiety condition. You may actually have a more serious underlying condition such as a heart arrhythmia. If you think you have anxiety, you may start treating yourself with meditation or relaxation exercises, and you can miss the fact that you need treatment for a more serious problem.

Online Symptom Checking Websites

Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of checking your symptoms online, let’s take a look at a few of the sites that can help you.

WebMD.com is perhaps the most popular health site to check your symptoms. Their symptom checker first has you enter in your sex and age. You’re then prompted to click an area on the human body where you’re experiencing discomfort. If you click on the head, it then narrows the search to a particular part of the head, such as the ears, eyes, nose, jaw, and so on. Once you click on the specific area, it will ask you about that part of the body. Is there any bruising? Does it itch? Do you have any pain or discomfort? And more. Once you’ve narrowed that down, it will give a list of possible conditions that you may have. From that list you can get home treatment options, advice, or based on the results, you may want to make an appointment with the doctor.

HealthCentral.com is another website you can visit. On their website, you have the option of choosing a man, woman, or child to start with. They don’t have you specify your age however. The site will have you click on a portion of the human body that you’re worrying about. It will then give you several links pertaining to that area, once you click the appropriate link it will have you take an assessment survey. At the end of the assessment, the site will offer links to various problems you may be suffering from. Once you click on the problem you think you may be suffering from, you can see how the issue is caused and how it can be treated.

It’s always a good idea to make a doctor’s appointment if you’ve been sick for a long period of time with no signs of recovery. Or if you have an injury that is not improving or is getting worse. Use good judgment about whether to see a doctor or not. If it’s an injury or an illness you’ve experienced before, you already know how to treat it. If your symptoms are new or more pronounced, a doctor’s visit may be the right thing to do.

Once organ meats are cooked, they really dont look that much different than other, more common cuts of meat. In their raw state, however, organs can be a little challenging. For some, the sight of a raw heart on a kitchen countertop doesnt exactly stimulate the appetite. If youre tempted to try cooking offal but dont want too much face time with the raw product, then a Crock-Pot is the way to go.

A slow-cooker is the perfect out of sight, out of mind cooking method for organs that need a little tenderizing, like the heart. Christopher Williams Heart on Fire recipe (submitted for the Primal Blueprint Reader-Created Cookbook Contest) is the perfect recipe for easing into offal. If you can manage to get the heart into a slow-cooker, then you dont have to think about it for another 6 hours. It will emerge fully cooked and tender, looking not much different than a small roast nestled in a bed of tender vegetables. The scent that fills your kitchen will be rich and aromatic, heavy with an array of spices like cloves, allspice and paprika. The spices Christopher uses arent just for aroma, though, they pack a fiery kick that gives this dish its name. Christopher tames the fire by serving the slow-cooked heart on a creamy bed of kale simmered in coconut milk, bringing a cooling element and loads of extra nutrition to this dish.

Christopher uses beef heart that hes lucky enough to get from a local grass-fed farm; we opted for pork heart that we found at a Hispanic grocery store. Farmers markets are another great place to buy offal, if theres a vendor selling meat from their farm. To find a source near you, websites like EatWild.com and LocalHarvest.org can help locate farmers’ markets, family farms, and sources of grass-fed meat. Whether you choose to cook with beef, pork or lamb heart is up to you; pork tends to have the mildest flavor of the three. Although in a dish called Heart of Fire mild isnt really the point. The spices and coconut milk will add plenty of flavor to enhance the heavy meaty taste of beef and lamb heart, so dont shy away from either.

This is the last in our series of organ meat recipes. Check back next week for seafood recipes.

Ingredients:

(1-2 servings)

• 1-2 hearts
• 2 chopped carrots
• 3 chopped celery hearts
• 1 chopped onion
• 2-3 (depending of size) chopped garlic cloves
• 3 chopped jalapenos (de-seeded to tame the spiciness)
• 3/4 cup coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon red pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 2 teaspoons cilantro flakes (or 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro)
• 1 large bunch of kale, sliced
• 1/2 can of coconut milk

Instructions:

Cut the heart in half and remove any valves and connective tissue with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.

Put 3/4th or so of the carrot, celery, onion, garlic, jalapenos, coconut flakes and spices in the bottom of the Crock-Pot to make a good base.

Place the heart in the Crock-Pot and cover it with the remaining veggies and spices. Add a cup or so of liquid (broth or water) and cook on low for about 6 hours.

When the heart is cooked, put the kale in a large pan, pour in the coconut milk and saut until kale reaches desired softness (I like mine a little on the firmer side). Slice the heart into small pieces. Serve over kale.
