Are you a student of health or disease?

As my family and I enjoyed a few nice days in Estes Park this weekend, I was disappointed to see a strong representation of the "state of our populus."

"What is that," you say?

Last week we, Colorado, were rated the number one state for the lease amount of overweight and obese americans.
What I saw in Estes Park was more of the average american who represented the "state of our populus," which...

• As of last week, 25% of Americans are now obese, which doesn't include the 40% who are considered "over weight." That's 65% of our population being overweght.
• Showed the continual increase in percentage of adolescents age 12-19 years who are overweight: 17, and the continual increase in percentage of children age 6-11 years who are overweight: 19!

When is this going to stop? When are people going to be awakened to the fact that they are quickly killing themselves and their children?

People we need to stand up for health and fitness and it starts with you!

YOU need to teach your kids how to make good food choices; YOU need to teach them how to exercise and how to value fitness; YOU need to teach them the importance of making responsible decisions in times when it is easy to make poor ones; YOU need to get over yourself and begin to think about how important it is to be a good role model so you can guarantee your childrens' and grand childrens' health for all generations to come!

After all, your kids health is more important than anything else you can teach them, PERIOD!

Without good health, your child cannot fully develop from a child to an adult; without good health your kids will not develop to their full mental and emotional abilities; without good health your kids will not be able to fight disease; and they will especially not be able to function at the fast pace that this world expects them to be able to! Should I continue?

In the end, this is a call to YOU. A call to get over your laziness about taking care of yourself. A call to stop making excuses as to how you think that you don't have the time each day to take care of yourself. A call to you, one person at a time and one family at a time, to begin the process of changing the numbers I presented above!

Let's become a different number than those statistics that state how many Americans will get cancer, heart disease or diabetes this year. Let's become part of an increasing number of those who are 'teachers" of good health instead of students of disease.

Perspective- Where's yours?

Are you stressed? LIfe isn't just about fitness, golf, health etc!
Try a bowl of persepective for a little "inner health!" DT

No matter what your political convictions are this is an eye opener.
What a thankless people we are!!!

Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....

As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President.
In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''
A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?
F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equippedwith a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U. S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating, besides a democtatic congress with 9% rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11?
The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take A look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it...... are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it.
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?
Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner?
The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.
They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O. J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way...... Insane!
Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country.
There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

Please keep this in circulation. There are so many people who need to read this and grasp the truth of it all.
What Is a Veteran? A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Are you suffering?

Lately I know at least six people/friends who have been experiencing health issues. From someone who was literally close to dying because of undiagnosed high blood pressure, to a few with chronic, debilitating headaches.

Why? Why do people in our society think that it is ok to have health issues? It's almost as if it is the norm...if you're not on a medication, then "your out of the croud!"

My dear readers! Life isn't meant to be this way! It is not normal for the body to be in a state of "dys-function or dis-ease," both meaning a state of "not." Not healthy.

The best and only ways to prevent a state of dis-ease is to provide the body with what it needs to process and fight off dis-eases...
These days this means eating as much organic food as you can, especially meat and dairy.
It means exercising daily.
It means getting good quality sleep.
And it also means a good quality supplement program.

This should make you think about food and supplements...
If our nation's soil was virgin - which it is not;
If our ancestors had been perfect - and they were not;
If you could teach people to eat to satisfy the body's needs and not their perverted appetites - which you cannot;
If we could raise our own food on healthy soil and eat it fresh - which we cannot;
If we could all own our own cow, goat or chickens and raise our own meat and poultry - which we cannot;
If foods were not harvested green and immature - but they are;
If storage did not produce deficiencies in vitamins - but it does;
If we lived in a stress-free world - but we don't;
If chemical fertilizers were not used in our soil - but they are;
If refinement, processing, enrichment and synthetic substitution were not a reality-but they are;
If the animals we eat were fed a perfect diet - which they are not;
If insecticides did not penetrate every cell of our food - but they do;
If the animals were not force-fed and hormone-fed to increase their weight and make an earlier market day -which they are;
If most of our grains were not refined into dried cereals - which they are;
If our white sugar possessed anything more nutritive than sand which it does not;
If our modern white flour was all used for wallpaper paste instead of bakery goods - which it is not;
If our foods were not overcooked - but they are;
If deep fry fats were not to be found in almost every restaurant but they are;If man would live by the laws of nature - which he will not;
If man were not greedy - but he is;
Then you wouldn't need vitamins and minerals!

That's why you need a strong supplement program. See http://www.idealhealth.com to find out how to get a cellular specific program just for you and your body's needs.

After, call me to get your health back on track from the "inside, out."

God has a new angel today!

I dedicate today to Patti Robinson Kaufmann who passed away on friday the 11th.

Ty and I worked with Patti everyweek for 8 years. She was an inspiration to everyone, and her tenacity and determination to stay cancer free was "superhuman!" At 46 she had lived 10yrs in remission from Hodgkins and Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, enduring three heavy dose chemo-therapy rounds, bone marrow transplant, and other procedures.

She was a fighter, and I am honored to have known her and helped her all these years.

So when you see, "Light the Night" this year, which is a walk in cherry creek to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, please donate in her honor and be a participant in the walk. She started it with her family to help raise money for others suffering from blood based cancer and disease.

God Bless you Patti Kaufmann, the world is sadder today without you.

Welcome!
