July 21-2006:


Question: What do these illnesses have in common?Diabetes, obesity, lupus, heart disease, hypertension, endodermisAnswer: They are all inflammatory diseases which people of African descent people suffer from disproportionately and they are preventable.
---------------------
Attention:
* The problem historically with Black America and it's nutritional habits, stem from ignorance, poverty, and terrible eating habits resulting in poor nutrition.
* The average lower level working class Black American family cannot follow any strict nutritional diet, based on the established
guidelines for proper nutrition.
* Many depend on Food Stamps to supplement their daily diets.
* While others are reeling under the weight of large families, extended families, ignorance, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and other poor or compromised health concerns.
* Obesity comes from poor nutritional habits, genetics, and the lack of regular comprehensive exercise.
And most Americans have that dilemma to deal with. Blacks are much more inclined to be fat for most of the aforementioned reasons.

Could these problems be prevented or brought in check nationally?
* I say it would have to be a process of education from Primary school to College, on proper nutritional habits and the benefits to be derived therefrom.
* A national change in attitudes to eating, and eating habits. For example, no snacking while viewing TV on Potato Chips, French Fries, and other Junk Food.
* The take-out delicatessens like Mac Donalds, Berger King, etc that sell cheap meals, would have to be strictly curtailed as a source of regular food intake.
These are just some of the solutions that would be necessary for a start, in the direction of corrective solutions.

Crystal Meth & The Side Effects:

Recreational Drug-Methamphetamine!

The above Club or Party drug seem to be the most used recreational drug among youth, adolescence, and regular party goers currently. Like Crack or Cocaine, this drug is extremely addictive, from the Get-Go:
Most beginners of Meth usually become addicted to it, because the tendency for it to induce that desire for it is very strong indeed.
And if you are a person who by nature, becomes addicted easily to any substance. Then this drug will do it for sure.
Side Effects:
Decaying teeth, resulting in dentures for both upper and lower teeth.
It totally causes your teeth to decay, and eventually have to be extracted.
Mentally and Cerebrally, it is extremely damaging to the functioning of the brain, memory, concentration, and memory recall.
In other words, when you become addicted to METH, rehabilitation is almost Null and Void. Most addicted users of Crystal meth never fully recover.
They often relapse time and time again. Eventually committing suicide, or getting killed while using it, or by other users.

Subject: Recreational Drug-Methamphetamine:
I'm really glad you posted this message about meth use. I for one am a former meth user and the side affect that it has on the mental are far more than you think. Crystal meth use brings on mental illness that could lead to a permnant disability. Hearing voices, dulisional and parinoia.
Thank God I recovered fully but it took strong prayer and medical treatment. I strongly urge you to not mess with it and if you know someone who is doing it please get them some help before it's too late.
God bless and be strong. --- In
