Cancer And The Ph Miracle Diet

One of the most important points of the pH miracle diet is that cancer can be prevented and reversed by applying the principles of the diet. Although these statements have caused some controversy in the world of health and wellness, many people credit the use of the pH miracle diet in reversing their cancer and improving their overall level of health.

According to Dr. Robert Young, the creator of the pH miracle diet, cancer is not a sickness or a disease as commonly thought. It is an effect of the metabolic acids that are built up in the blood and then released into the tissues. Cancer, according to Dr. Young, is actually an acidic liquid that spills into the cells, tissues and organs. It is not a mutation of the cells.

No condition happens without a cause. There are clear and direct causes for cancer, and as the pH miracle diet books show, the cause for cancer lies in over acidity. Diseases like cancer are due to systemic acidosis, which is extremely low pH (below 7.4). Any pH below 7.0 is considered acidic, and the lower the pH is the higher the acidity level in a person's body is.

At the cellular level, your cells consume the food that you eat and produce metabolic acids. Those acids are normally expelled by the body through sweat or urine. When you consume a vast amount of acidic foods and lead a lifestyle that produces even more acidity, your body does not know what to do with the rest of the acid waste. When you eat highly acidic foods on a regular basis, your body simply does not have enough energy to get rid of the excess acids. They collect in the body, and create disruptions at the cellular level.

Metabolic acids are first kept in the blood and then they are kept in the tissues. When acid is kept in the tissue, it causes sickness, disease and cancerous tissues. Cancer is the acidic liquid from metabolism that pools in the body. It affects the cells around it and, like a rotten apple in a barrel, the effects spread from cell to cell causing disease. Cancer is not made of mutated cells. The cells themselves do not change form but they are limited in their function due to the presence of excess metabolic acid. There is no such thing as "cancer cells"; the cells are actually normal cells that have become highly acidic.

One of the most surprising parts of the relationship between pH and cancer is that tumors are in fact trying to help the body. They form in areas where the metabolic acid is becoming rampant and effecting cellular function. Tumors are your body's attempt to prevent the spreading of the acidic cells to other parts of the body. The tumor is actually a signpost to where your body is collecting excess metabolic acid. Some people are genetically predisposed to collect metabolic acid in certain places. This is why some families have a history of, for example, breast cancer.

The tumors themselves are not the problem, but are just signs of what is going wrong in that part of the body. When cancer metastasizes, it is a sign of the acidic condition moving to other cells and making them acidic as well.

Cancer is not something that people get out of the blue. Cancer forming in the body is a sign of the choices that we make in what we eat, what we drink and how we live. An alkaline lifestyle that focuses on an alkaline diet and other calming behaviors will be much less likely to produce cancer, if it does at all. An acidic lifestyle and diet will be full of the pains of the build up of metabolic acid which can, in extremes, lead to cancer.

That is exciting news because it means that cancer is preventable and treatable. A cancer patient can start taking steps toward reversing the effects of cancer and preventing the spread of it. His or her alkaline centered diet may be more aggressive than someone's who is just trying to get better overall health. However, by applying the principles of the pH miracle diet they can effectively reduce, control and eliminate cancer from their bodies.

Paintings Of Food And Wine

I've been buying paintings of food and wine to resell to restaurants. I make a good profit doing this. I have a real talent for matching the painting of food and wine to the restaurant that should hang it in their dining room. I have purchased over one hundred paintings so far and I've sold over eighty of them to restaurant owners.

I sold a painting of food and wine to a martini bar that was opening up in a neighboring city. I took a photo of the Michael Godard painting called Pop Olive and took it straight to the owner in person. He loved the painting and hung it in his bar.

The Michael Godard paintings always seem to resell the best of all of the food and wine paintings that I buy. There was one called Olives Gone Wild that I sold to a martini bar on the East Coast. The restaurant owner thought it was fantastic and looked fun.

I saw an awesome painting in the food and wine section of a local studio. The painting was called Chocolatey. I bought the painting and have approached a couple of candy stores to purchase it. I haven't gotten a taker, yet, but I'm going to keep trying.

There is a pie shop in my town that I sold an original oil painting of an oversized apple. There are always a lot of food and wine paintings at the galleries I frequent. I liked the apple painting and also bought a sunflower painting by the same artist.

I bought an acrylic painting from an artist in North Hollywood. His painting called Passion Splash is categorized as a food and wine painting because the woman in the painting is drinking red wine. I sold it to a wine bar in Miami. I was sad to see that huge eyed woman go.

I bought several food and wine paintings from him on that trip. One of the paintings was entitled For a Perfect Cherry and I decided to keep that one and hang it in my dining room. The red in the painting is fantastic and so beautiful. I liked to display this food and wine painting with a spotlight on it.

I was able to resell a food and wine painting to a fish shop in New York City. The fish shop had an upscale clientele and they wanted to put some artwork on the walls of the lobby. I found an original oil painting by Marie M. Vlasic of a lobster. It was such a good food and wine painting and it looked at home in the fish shop.

There was a dessert shop owner in Denver that contacted me and asked me to keep an eye out for food and wine paintings that featured pears. She had developed several pear recipes that were fast becoming her signature dishes and she wanted to address that with the art hanging in her establishment.

I found a lovely oil on wood food and wine painting of four pears on a glass table. The artist paints a new painting every day. I commissioned him to make me six more paintings of pears and then I sold all seven to the dessert shop owner that had contacted me. She was thrilled with the pieces and invited me to visit sometime.

I have a friend that owns a local beer joint. I immediately thought of him when I was on a buying trip for food and wine paintings. I saw an oil painting on stretched canvas that featured a close-up of an unopened bottle of beer. It was perfect for him. I bought it and it still hangs at the end of his bar.

My little sister was redecorating her shop and I found a great original oil food and wine painting. The artist's subject was a large spoon and strawberry jam. The piece looked delicious! I gave it to her shop and she hung it in the area that she sells gourmet jams.

Word Puzzles in Educational Toys

Starting the day we are born our brain is teaching us to learn. We learn to eat, Coo, stick out our tongue, recognize people, walking, and learning just keeps going on all through our lives. It is never too young to teach our children new things from here on. 

Learning needs to be fun and challenging for our children. Buying them educational toys is the key to teaching them new things everyday and keeping up with the world.  Teaching basic things like feeding themselves is just the beginning of the journey ahead. 

Educational toys can be bought anywhere that toys are sold. Simple things like coloring books are educational by teaching coordination and colors, a bike can be educational for teaching coordination and balance and we all need to learn to read, spell, and write just to function in today’s day and age.

Puzzles come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and books too. Word puzzles are educational because they teach our children to write, spell, read, and gives them one more challenge and skill to go ahead.

Colorful puzzle balls are fun for the baby in the home. They are fascinated with all the bright colors and trying to fit the right shape into the right spot to fall inside. This ball teaches your baby to learn colors, shapes, and coronation by finding the one to fit into the correct spot so they can hear it fall into place.

Puzzles made of foam pieces for your little one gives them the texture feelings to touch, a chance to learn new shapes and where the spot is to match it. The new thing with this puzzle is the feel of the foam makes them want to learn more.  Puzzles can be made of most anything that is child safe like wood, or plastic. Besides learning shapes and colors to add to their coordination they can learn their ABC’s, numbers, and matching the A to a picture of an apple or number 1 to 1 apple.

Puzzles can help your child to learn to read and spell by using the pieces to spell out their name. The child can learn to add 1 + 2 = 3 with the numbers to teach them basic math skills. 

Picture puzzles teach your child how to match the colors and shapes together to make a picture. All the time they are learning coordination, colors, matching, and one shape to another.

When it is time to teach them to use a pencil they can learn to draw with puzzle pieces.  Learning to trace the pieces with a pencil and paper will teach them how to write the number or letters and recognize them when they are done. 

Making puzzles are fun for you and your children and will give you both one on one time together.  Take a piece of felt and draw words on them. Let your child pick out color of foam and cut out the alphabet in it. Let your child fill in the words with the right puzzle piece to make the word on the felt or to matching a picture with the word.  It is easy to make; the materials can be found anywhere that craft supplies is sold. By making, their own puzzle will also help in coordination and creativity skills.

Books are everywhere to teach your child to use a pencil, match words, connecting the dots, numbers or alphabet. All learning skills that a 3 years old needs to learn at an early age is available to them in educational toys.

Search wordbooks are available in stores for the older ones to do. The cost of these books is cheap and the skills they will learn are in the high bracket. Picking a word and finding it in a bunch of scrambled letters. 

When teaching your child new skills at any age be creative and make it fun.
