Even better, listen to the radio ads that will air this week

Radio Spot 2

As a person who is extremely allergic to any kind of smoke, and many others things in the air, when I received this information from a Health Society newsletter, I felt I should share it.

“Tobacco smoke contains inumerable poisons, particulates, and so on, but how many realize that the smoker’s lung cancer may be caused by radiation?

Scientific American (January 2011) reports that smoking 1-1/2 packs (30 cigarettes per day results in the smoker receiving the radiation equivalent of 300 chest x-rays annually. The radioactive isotope Polonimum 210 inherent in tobacco is the guilty component.

The process to lessen the Polonium is available but presumably would add somewhat to the manufacturing cost.

Internal direction has been voluntarily undertaken. The opposite was the stance taken by them: In an internal memo, one of their scientists wrote regarding publishing the fact, “It has the potential of waking a sleeping giant.”

The FDA was empowered (June 2009) to force Polonium reduction and control other elements of the tobacco industry. In the past 21 months since then, there has been no enforcement activity reported from there.

From a strictly monetary view, when more tobacco is consumed by chewing or smoking, more taxes are collected.
US federal tax only on cigarettes for 2008: $6,755,000,000.
Add more for cigars, snuff, etc., and State and other authorities’ taxes to this figure.”

Geez, no wonder so many people have problems with smoke.

While many had no idea, I thought I would share some of the responses with you…I already know which response many of you will like best!

1 – When the white vinegar ages and evaporates it oxidizes and turns brown You know how an apple turns brown when it oxidizes from standing in the air. This is a similar process..
2 – I think it gets darker with age after opening and air hitting it.Doesn’t interfere with quality, but in strength of flavor
3 – When its aged (old) it just plain turns dark! That’s what I was told from MY source
4 – ???????????????
5 – Probably oxidation
6 – Vinegar has a tendency to do that. There is a distillation process that needs to be done to keep the vinegar clear. Vinegar as you may know starts off as apple cider and turns to vinegar. The vinegar gets strained to remove excess apple sediment. I am not sure what the process is to make the vinegar clear but I believe they heat it once more then strain again for impurities. When something is added to vinegar it becomes acidic and can turn colors again. This is what we helped my parents do when we made vinegar.
7 – I, too, love balsamic vinegar, and especially the White one. Never had that happen. It might be the quality of the brand. I use Alessi’s. It lasts a long time in the Fridge, and I use every last drop
8 – I’m guessing a chemical reaction took place. Perhaps a reaction to light? I believe the vinegar is stored in kegs which gives it the flavor.
9 -Maybe spirit turned it dark for a specific reason
10 – I think it is turning into wine! Praise God!

On Thursday, February 03, 2011 at 8 PM – bring a covered dish

Thy will Divine Universal Creator God IS my will.

I command of myself that all reasons, memories, emotions, boundaries, disharmonies, beliefs, interferences on all Dimensions and Universes; ancestral, soul, and spiritual programs; conscious, unconscious, and subconscious programs; past life, present life and future life programs; hindering me from this, be removed completely, cleared from my energy field, grid and structure; wrapped in Divine Light, cleansed and cleared, filled with Divine love and peace, then released and guided into the Light.

I accept this completely, in all lifetimes, all planetary, star and solar systems, all universes, alternate and parallel universes and realities, all dimensions, all space and time, past, present and future, all ancestral time and on all levels.

My Mind, Body & Soul accepts this completely. All my guides, counsels, committees, cells, RNA and DNA are upgraded. This is asked in all sincerity, honesty, from my heart, and I will do my part, in the name of God and all the Divine Beings of Light. I rejoice and give thanks for all I have and all I will receive. So it is!
I still myself to receive this healing and this angelic blessing…NOW!
