Desserts Taste Great!
But sugar is, I am told, 8 times more addictive than cocaine!
As a result of it being addictive, the natural tendency is to want more and more of our calorie intake to taste like dessert! This is deadly because sugar contains next to no nutrition.
A healthy diet is about giving the body the nourishment it needs to keep it energised & functions optimally. This is my purpose with Healthelicious. To so thoroughly nourish a body
So for every mouthful of dessert you eat you should be looking to boost your intake of super nutrients.
In a perfect diet the calorie intake would be matched with the nutrient requirements – the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients.
Most people get too few nutrients for their calorie intake. So the body says, “That’s great! Thanks for the calories. WHERE’S THE NUTRITION?! Keep eating!”
So, more and more people are becoming overweight or obese AND malnourished.

Panadol
(Tom: I received this from a client. Please make your own investigations.)
My husband was working in a hospital as an IT engineer, as the hospital is planning to set up a database of its patients and he knows some of the doctors quite well. The doctors used to tell him that whenever they have a headache, they are not willing to take PANADOL/ PARACETAMOL.
In fact, they will turn to herbal medicine or find other alternatives. This is because Panadol is toxic to the body, and it harms the liver. According to the doctor, Panadol will remain in the body for at least 5 years.
And according to the doctor, there was an air-hostess who consumed lots of Panadol as she needed to stand all the time and work under lots of pressure. She’s now in her early 30’s, and she is undergoing kidney cleaning (DIALYSIS) every month.
Whenever we have a headache, that’s because it is due to the electron / Ion imbalance in the brain.
An alternative solution to cope with this matter is to drink lots of water.
Another method will be to submerge your feet in a basin of warm water so that it brings the blood pressure down from your throbbing head.
As Panadol is a pain killer, the morePanadol you take, the lower would be your threshold for pain (your endurance level for pain). We all will fall ill as we age.
Imagine that we had spent our entire life popping quite a substantial amount of Panadol (painkiller), when you need to have a surgery or operation, you will need a much higher amount of general anaesthesia.
If you have a very high intake of Panadol throughout your life (for migraine, menstrual cramps etc) it is very likely that normal general anaesthetics will have no effects on you as your body is pumped / full with
Panadol and your body is so used to painkillers that you would need a much stronger painkiller, like morphine?
The thought is scary enough to turn me to herbal medicine or other healthier alternatives. Value your health, value your life, THINK TWICE before you easily pop that familiar pill into your mouth again.
Please don’t take PANADOL always.

Alzheimer’s 16 mg Breakthrough? A Supplement Like No Other
Dr Mercola writes:
It’s not just another supplement; it’s a powerful agent that can both ‘accept and donate’ electrons – and treat everything from mental health disorders to acute medical emergencies. Clinical trials have even reported an astounding eighty percent reversal of Alzheimer’s symptoms.
Few substances have captured my attention as profoundly as methylene blue. Earlier this year, I engaged in an in-depth discussion with Georgi Dinkov, a respected expert in metabolic health, who shed light on the multifaceted benefits of this remarkable compound.
Methylene blue, a quinone-like molecule, is not just another supplement; it’s a powerful agent that can play an important role in cellular metabolism. By accepting and donating electrons, methylene blue enhances mitochondrial function, addressing issues like reductive stress that are often overlooked in conventional medicine.
This conversation with Dinkov highlights methylene blue’s role in reaching optimal health and treating a myriad of conditions, ranging from mental health disorders to acute medical emergencies.
- Methylene blue enhances cellular energy production by integrating into the electron transport chain, cycling between oxidized and reduced forms to improve mitochondrial efficiency and resolve metabolic issues
- Clinical trials show methylene blue’s role in treating neurological conditions, including slowing progression of Alzheimer’s at doses of 16 mg daily
- Studies indicate methylene blue’s effectiveness in treating septic shock, reducing mortality rates, shortening hospital stays and improving blood pressure without significant adverse effects
- Research reveals methylene blue’s anticancer properties, particularly in chemoresistant ovarian tumors, by selectively targeting cancer cell mitochondria while sparing healthy cells from damage
- Safe dosage ranges from 5 mg to 50 mg daily, but requires medical supervision due to potential interactions with SSRIs and risks for those with kidney issues or G6PD deficiency

Menopause Myths vs Facts
Laura Frontiero writes:
Let’s play a quick game of “Myth or Fact” about midlife hormones.
For each statement below, note to yourself whether you think it’s a fact or a myth:
Hot flashes are inevitable and uncontrollable.
Putting on the pounds is just part of getting older.
Your libido is destined to disappear.
Mood swings are all in your head.
Osteoporosis is an unavoidable part of aging for women.
Ready for your results?
Answer: They’re ALL myths!
The truth is, while hormone changes are a natural part of aging, the symptoms women experience aren’t set in stone.
Your midlife journey doesn’t have to be a wild, uncontrollable ride.
Debunking the Midlife Hormone Myths
Let’s get into some real talk about what’s happening in your body:
Hot flashes: They can be triggered by specific foods or environmental factors that we can identify and manage. While common, they’re not inevitable for all women.
Stubborn fat: Being unable to drop pounds (especially around the middle) could be linked to insulin resistance or thyroid issues, both of which are treatable. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help manage your physique.
Low libido: Often, it’s more about stress and sleep quality than an inevitable decline. Hormonal changes can affect desire, but it’s not a predestined outcome.
Mood swings: They’re real and often tied to estrogen and progesterone fluctuations that we can balance naturally.
Osteoporosis: While the risk increases with age, osteoporosis is not inevitable. Weightbearing exercises, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk.
The biggest midlife myth of all? That you just have to grin and bear it.
Natural Strategies That Work
There are numerous natural, effective ways to manage your symptoms and restore balance:
Optimize your meals: Focus on anti-inflammatory foods, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support hormone production and reduce symptoms.
Enhance sleep quality: Establish a consistent sleep routine and create a cool, dark sleeping environment to improve sleep and reduce night sweats.
Manage stress: Incorporate stress-reduction techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to balance cortisol levels and improve overall hormonal health.
Support your thyroid: Ensure you consume enough iodine, selenium, and zinc to support healthy thyroid function and metabolism.
Consider natural supplements: Herbs like black cohosh, red clover, and dong quai are beneficial in managing menopausal symptoms for some women.
Pepper Spray Alternative
I know some of you own GUNS but this is something to think about…
If you don’t have a gun, here’s a more humane way to wreck someone’s evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn’t. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.
Wasp Spray – A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn’t attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.
Val Glinka teaches self defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School. For decades, he’s suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, “This is better than anything I can teach them.”
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says, “Spray the culprit in the eyes.” It’s a tip he’s given to students for decades.
It’s also one he wants everyone to hear If you’re looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. “That’s going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out.” Maybe even save a life.
Please share this with all the people who are precious to your life.
Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will! Good to know, huh? It will also kill a wasp!!
Petrol Refueling Safety Alert!
Here are some reasons why we don’t allow cell phones in operating areas, propylene oxide handling and storage area, propane, gas and diesel refueling areas.
The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after three incidents in which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations
In the first case, the phone was placed on the car’s trunk lid during fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline pump.
In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling their car!
And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car.
You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes
Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition
Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn mowers, boat, etc.
Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (I.e., solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc…)
TO sum it up, here are the Four Rules for Safe Refueling:
1) Turn off engine
2) Don’t smoke
3) Don’t use your cell phone – leave it inside the vehicle or turn it off
4) Don’t re-enter your vehicle during fueling.
Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working on a campaign to try and make people aware of fires as a result of ‘static electricity’ at gas pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of these fires.
His results were very surprising:
1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women.
2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back in their vehicle while the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished, they went back to pull the nozzle out and the fire started, as a result of static.
3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.
4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely finished. This is why they are seldom involved in these types of fires.
5) Don’t ever use cell phones when pumping gas
6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that cause the fire, when connected with static charges.
7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was touched during refueling from a variety of makes and models. Some resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the station, and to the customer.
8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap was removed and before fueling began.
Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your vehicle while filling it with gas.
If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the gas is pumping, make sure you get out, close the door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull the nozzle out. This way the static from your body will be discharged before you ever remove the nozzle.
As I mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with several other companies now, are really trying to make the public aware of this danger.
I ask you to please send this information to ALL your family and friends, especially those who have kids in the car with them while pumping gas. If this were to happen to them, they may not be able to get the children out in time.
Turn off the phone when you drive into a service station, fill lawn mower etc.
