We only have 11
days left before Election Day. Absentee voters are voting as you read this. I need your help right away.
Insurance companies have already spent
$4.6 million to defeat my candidacy for Insurance Commissioner and they are
planning to spend millions more.
The insurance
companies are trying to buy the office for my opponent. The stakes are high. My
opponent opposes national health care reform, he is anti-choice, and he votes
consistently for insurance companies and against consumers and businesses.
I am the only
candidate for this office endorsed by the Consumer Federation of California, as
well as California's teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses and the
National Organization for Women (NOW).
But the most
important endorsement I could get in the days ahead is yours.
Please cut and paste the text below and
use it to send an email to all of your contacts. Ask them to support me on Election
Day! We can combat the millions of dollars insurance companies are spending if
everyone reading this email right now sends a message today.
Please send the following text in an
email to all of your friends and family today:
Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd,
and I'm writing to you to ask you to vote for Dave Jones for Insurance
Commissioner.
The Insurance Commissioner is one of the
most important elected offices in California - it is the office that is supposed
to protect consumers and businesses from abusive insurance industry
practices. The person
elected will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of national Health
Care Reform in California. It is also an office that can hold the insurance
industry accountable.
The insurance companies have launched a
multi-million dollar campaign against Dave Jones because they know he is not
afraid to stand up to them and protect consumers and businesses.
As a member of the California State
Assembly, Dave Jones is leading the fight to stop health insurance companies
like Anthem Blue Cross from hiking their health insurance rates. He authored
legislation (AB 2578) to regulate health insurance rates just like we do with
auto, property and casualty insurance under Proposition 103, which has saved consumers
millions of dollars. His opponent voted against it.
Jones also passed legislation (AB 119) to
stop insurance companies from charging women higher premiums than men for the
exact same policies. His opponent voted against it.
Jones won an
award as the state's most effective legislator for his landmark work protecting
privacy rights and creating the nation's largest preschool program. He is
endorsed by the Consumer Federation of California, California's teachers,
firefighters, police officers, nurses, and the California National Organization
for Women.
Dave Jones is the only candidate who
refuses to accept contributions from the insurance industry. His opponent has
taken over $54,000 so far from insurance companies, and insurance companies are
spending millions to elect him because they know he's on their side. Please don't let the insurance
companies decide who our next Insurance Commissioner will be.
I am voting for Dave Jones and I hope you
will, too. If you would like more information, please go to: www.DaveJones2010.com.
Thanks
for your continued support,
DAVE JONES Candidate for Insurance Commissioner

From Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital. Used for overweight heart patients to lose rapidly, usually before surgery.
6 large green onions
2 green pepper
1 or 2 cans tomatoes
1 bunch of celery
1 large head of cabbage
1 pkg. Lipton soup mix
Season with salt, pepper, curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, or hot sauce.
Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil fast for ten minutes. Cut to simmer and continue cooking until veggies are tender. This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more weight you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer malnutrition!
DAY ONE: All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks – unsweetened tea, cranberry juice or water.
DAY TWO: All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh raw or canned veggies. Try to eat green left veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinnertime on this day, reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Do not
Eat any fruits.
DAY THREE: Eat all the soup, fruits and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato.
…If you have eaten for three days, as above, and have not cheated, you will find you have lost 5 to 7 pounds….
DAY FOUR: Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins and calcium to lessen your craving for sweets.
DAY FIVE: Beef and Tomatoes. You may have 10-20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash away the uric in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.
DAY SIX: Beef and Veggies. Eat to your heart’s content of the beef and veggies this day. You can even have two or three steaks if you like with the green leafy veggies, but no baked potato. Be sure and eat the soup at least once a day.
DAY SEVEN: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice, and veggies. Again, stuff yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once today.
The end of the seventh day, if you have not cheated on the about diet, you will have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more 15 pounds, stay off the diet for two full days before resuming the diet again on day one.
This seven-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. As a matter of fact, if correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being as never before.
After only seven days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 to 15 pounds, and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you like and feel the difference.
This diet is fast, fat burning and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet DOES NOT lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time because of the removal of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.
Because everyone’s digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began if you did not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed—eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you do not need the caffeine after the third day!
DEFINITE NO-NO-NO’S:-- No bread, no alcohol, no carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice and skimmed milk.
The Basic Fat Burning Soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat as much as you like.
Remember, the more you eat, the more you will lose. No fried foods or bread. You can eat broiled or baked chicken instead of meat—absolutely no skin on the chicken.
Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef on the other days.
治療關節炎奇方Helpful Info About Arthritis (且有行血、活絡之效)...(health tips)
Arthritis is a condition where damages to the joints of the body occur. There can be different forms of arthritis and each of them can be caused by various reasons. The most common form is osteoarthritis which is a degenerative joint disease. It is the result of some trauma to the joint, infections or old age. Among the other types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, which are autoimmune diseases where the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis occurs due to joint infection. Deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint causes inflammation and leads to gouty arthritis. When rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate are formed in the joints, pseudo gout occurs.
If one is asked to take gin-soaked raisins for treating arthritis, one is bound to think of the idea as silly. However, those who have got relief by following this procedure swear by it. It is supposed to be an effective cure and an old folk remedy for arthritis. One needs to take a box of golden raisins, not the black ones, and place them in a container. The raisins are to be covered with gin and left for a few weeks. This helps the raisins to soak in the gin. When the gin evaporates, one can start eating nine of these raisons everyday till the arthritis gets cured.
It can take six weeks or more to get relief from arthritis after consuming the gin and raisins. One has to be patient and consistent in consuming the remedy. Ideally, no substitutions should be done in the recipe. Nobody is sure how this remedy started. Till date, there have been no studies to prove the effectiveness of the remedy but certain theories put forward reasons for the remedy to be successful.
According to some, it is the sulfur or sulphides that are used while preparing the golden raisins that help in reducing arthritis. The enzymatic browning that occurs normally in a grape is reduced by treating a fresh grape with sulfur dioxide gas. The raisin is then preserved in a golden color. Some think it is the juniper berries that are used in gin that are beneficial for treating arthritis. The juniper berries are rich in Vitamin C and terpenes. Terpene is an essential oil which is used to manufacture turpentine. Juniper berries have long been used in anti-inflammatory prescriptions.
Many others swear by the raisins. According to them, it is not the gin-soaked raisins that are helping in curing arthritis. Grapes and raisins have many anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving chemicals. The cure that occurs from taking gin-soaked raisins can also be due to the placebo effect. It is an accepted fact that when people strongly believe in some form of treatment or remedy, the endorphins and natural pain mediators present in the body get enhanced.
Again, arthritis is characterized by periods of flares and remissions. One can always take a remission period as being cured by the gin and raisins. One should never start a new form of remedy without first consulting a doctor. If one gets relief from the pain of arthritis by consuming gin and raisins, one should not stop using the standard medications.
