A Drug Shortage? Give Me A Break

Now the pharmaceutical companies have gone just too far! I just heard on the news that there is a "shortage" of numerous drugs used to treat ovarian cancer. Why the shortage? No explanation.

Some hospitals and doctors may start "hoarding" these drugs. I am sure that the price will go up. And, there you have it! We are constantly being held hostage by the pharmaceutical companies. When will this change. It will NOT unless we begin to look deeply into the cause of so many other issues in this Country. That issue is GREED.
More money, more money, more money and there is never enough.

One of the ways we need to combat this problem is to find ways to deal with our health issues that do not include pharmaceuticals. For example, a vegan (and I do mean a very strict vegan) diet can derail cancer in weeks. Does any oncologist tell you this? Probably not. He recommends a chemotherapy that will give you more time or cure you. Problem is, it might kill you too!

There are some things you can do to help keep cancer at bay. Don't smoke! Don't drink to excess. And, most important of all, believe it or not, watch what you eat.

Did you know that meats create a more acid environment in your body? Did you know that vegetables create an alkaline environment in your body? And, guess what? Cancer doesn't grow well in an alkaline environment! Neither do lot of other diseases. I know most people aren't going to become vegetarian or vegan overnight, but I am telling you one thing, that if you are seriously ill, you should consider it!

See a really good nutritionist and find out what works best for you. Find out if you have food allergies, sensitivities, and what foods will help you feel great.
You won't be sorry. Lets help ourselves to better health, and prove that pharmaceuticals are not the ONLY answer to illness!

More later...Move On!!!

Spaghetti Now!

My sweet hubby just LOVES pasta. Especially a good spaghetti. I make it often, and keep it simple but delicious. Here is one way to make a great spaghetti sauce in minutes!

1. Saute one large onion finely chopped with
2. One large green pepper, finely chopped until both are transparent
3. (OPTIONAL...several cloves of finely chopped garlic)
4. Add one pound of lean ground beef, ground turkey, or even a mixture of italian sausage and beef and saute until done. (Vegetarians can use "grounds" or seiten)
5. Then, and here is the easy part, add one large can of HUNTs Traditional Spaghetti Sauce and one small can petite diced tomatoes.
6 Add 1 TBSP dried oregano
7. Add 1 TBSP dried or fresh Basil

Simmer on low 10 to fifteen minutes and SERVE over your favorite spaghetti/pasta.

NOTE: If you family doesn't like leftovers, the sauce left can be added to cooked rice with a can of kidney beans for Spanish Rice...I add a little Cumin (1/2 tsp) to the sauce for this, and if your family likes it hot, add a little cayenne or chili powder! Delicious and simple way to use the leftover sauce and not have your family think it is "leftover". Served with a side salad, you can't beat it!
