Right now, more than 1 out of 2 Americans either have early diabetes or full-blown type II diabetes; good chances are that you may be one of them. This devastating national epidemic can take from you, or a loved one, legs, kidneys, eyes, heart and/or brain. Surprisingly, new evidence is now showing that Prediabetes can strip from you these vital organs as well. You Do Not Have to Wait to Be Diabetic to Be Damaged: It turns out during the silent “prediabetic” phase spikes in glucose and insulin after eating are causing damage to your body. You don’t realize this because your yearly physical is only looking at your fasting blood glucose. When you are prediabetic most of the time your glucose will return to normal with a 12 hour fast before the blood draw. Furthermore, on this yearly physical, your doctor is not measuring your insulin levels or your hemoglobin A1c which will show your prediabetes well before an abnormal fasting glucose will. Because of this you remain ignorant of the damage being done to your body. What is Insulin Resistance and Prediabetes? The cause of type II diabetes is insulin resistance. This is where your cells are no longer hearing the signal of insulin to take in the blood glucose. Therefore, your blood glucose and insulin levels rise after eating causing damage to your cells. Often, one of the first signs that this damage is happening is easy weight gain, high blood pressure and/or elevated blood fats such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Both factors will lead to heart disease and stroke and, therefore, take away your heart and brain. Also, numbness, tingling and pain in your legs are often a sign of prediabetes and the possible eventual loss of function in your legs. This happens in prediabetes, because post meal glucose spikes are damaging the nerves in your legs. Because prediabetes has already damaged the nerves in nearly half of newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetics, it is vital for anyone over the age of 35 to be properly tested for prediabetes and early signs of nerve damage. I can’t emphasize this enough! If you think you may have prediabetes, or have been diagnosed with diabetes, you need to see a doctor who will look carefully for the early signs of peripheral neuropathy. What Is Your Chance of Being Prediabetic? According to the U.S. CDC, more than 1 in 3, numbering over 86 million Americans, have the early stages of diabetes type II or prediabetes. Alarmingly, 9 out of 10 of these people do not realize they have this condition. Worse yet, those who are diagnosed do not take it serious enough because the doctor told him it’s “only” prediabetes. There is no such thing as prediabetes, really there is only early stages of diabetes or full-blown diabetes. Furthermore, 30% of these 86 million Americans will develop type II diabetes within five years if something doesn’t change. Therefore, you need to see a doctor who knows how to test for the earliest indications for prediabetes and then knows how to reverse it through a safe natural approach. That way you do not have to worry about losing your eyesight, kidney function, the feeling in your feet and hands, or even the loss of your toes or feet, having a heart attack, stroke or developing Alzheimer’s. Type II Diabetes - What Won’t Fix This: The pharmaceutical industry would have you believe that type II diabetes is not reversible, and that controlling your blood sugar with drugs or insulin will protect you from organ and nerve damage and early death. Don’t you believe it! A new study published by Mayo Researchers found that the use of drugs to control your blood glucose levels showed no significant benefit in reducing the risk of dialysis, kidney transplant, renal death, blindness, or neuropathy. What this Mayo study and the famous Accord study is telling us, the well-intentioned efforts of your conventional doctor’s intervention with prescription drugs to control your blood glucose levels, will not save you from the five things that diabetes will take away from you! Worse Yet, Alzheimer’s Is Now Being Called Type III Diabetes: Yes, new research is showing that one of the primary driving forces behind the new Alzheimer’s and dementia epidemic is insulin resistance of the brain. This is happening even in the stages of prediabetes and of course in fullblown diabetes. What are the primary symptoms: elevated blood glucose levels after meals with, brain fog, decreased cognitive function, depression, anxiety, insomnia all signs of brain inflammation driven by insulin resistance. Do you want to keep your brain, your eyesight, your legs, kidney function, heart health? Then you must act now! More than one out of two of you are already on a journey to the loss of these vital gifts that God has given you. Are you going to allow yourself to be a victim of this devastating epidemic! Find out if you have prediabetes and what you can do to reverse it. Or, possibly, you already have type II diabetes and you want to reverse this before it’s too late.

PIGS
(cont’d) • During its growth phase, a pig will consume 6 to 10 lbs. (2.72 to 4.54 kg) of corn and soybean meal feed daily. A fully grown pig can weigh between 300 and 700 lbs. (140 – 300 kg). But pigs typically go to market at around 250 to 280 lbs. (113.4 to 127 kg). • A pig’s hoof has four toes, and they use just two toes per foot to walk. • A farm-raised pig’s diet is mostly corn, but a wild pig has a wider menu, including leaves, roots, fruit, rodents, and small reptiles. • Even with their size, adult pigs are able to run at speeds of up to 11 mph (17.7 km/hr), the equivalent of a sevenminute mile. • Pigs are noted for their intelligence, are smarter than dogs, and smarter than three-year-old children! They can be trained to do tricks and can be taught to use a litter box. They continually communicate with other pigs through more than 20 different methods, from oinks to grunts to squeals, all of which have specific meanings – everything from mating calls to expressing hunger. • Pigs are also very social, forming

Service Prices include: Trip, labor & parts in the metro area during standard business hours bonds with other swine, and enjoying curling up next to each other. Even wild pigs live in cohesive groups called sounders, some with as many as 300 members. • Pigs were one of the first animals to be domesticated. Descended from the wild boar, China began domesticating them about 6,000 years ago. Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto brought pigs to the North American continent in 1539. • Have you ever heard the expression “sweating like a pig”? Well, that’s nearly impossible, since pigs have hardly any sweat glands. Their favorite way to cool off is to roll in the mud, which leads to another common misconception – that they’re dirty animals. They’re actually one of the cleanest animals in the barnyard, and won’t defecate anywhere near where they sleep or eat. Covering themselves in mud not only cools them, it protects the pig from sunburn and bug bites. • A pig’s eyesight is among the worst of all farmyard animals. However, their sense of smell is very powerful, and the nostrils on its leathery snout are very sensitive to touch, enhancing their search for food. They have even been used to sniff out buried land mines during wars. • A hog named Reggie set the record for the heaviest pig at the Iowa State Fair in 2012. This swine weighed in at 1,335 lbs. (605.5 kg), compared to the usual weight range of
300 and 700 lbs. (140 and 300 kg). • In the wild, the largest boar is the giant forest hog that reaches a length of 6.9 feet (2.1 meters). The heaviest is the Eurasian wild pig, which grows to 710 lbs. (320 kg.). In contrast, the pygmy hog weighs just 21 lbs. (6.6 kg). While domestic pigs have curly tails, wild pigs have straight ones. • In the 1920s, Nobel Prizewinning Canadian researchers developed the use of pig insulin for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes. In 1922, the first shot of animal insulin was given to a 14-yearold boy. Soon animal insulin was being widely used for diabetes’ treatment. At that time, pigs’ pancreas glands were a waste product of the meatpacking industry. Unfortunately, it required more than two tons of pig parts to extract eight ounces of purified insulin. In addition to insulin, about 40 other medicines are made from pigs. • For over 40 years, doctors have been using pig heart valves to repair humans’ defective heart valves. It takes about four weeks to prepare a pig valve for transplantation into a human. The pig valve lasts for about 15 years. • In 12th-century England, the church offered a side of bacon to any man who could honestly swear before the church that he had not had a fight with his wife for a full year, giving rise to the phrase “bringing home the bacon.” These individuals were among the most highly respected in their community. • The word “gammon,” commonly used in Britain, and refers to the hind leg of pork after it has been cured in a salty brine. A gammon knuckle is the foot end of the joint. It’s a popular dish at Christmas time, and on Boxing Day, December 26. • The Chinese have included the pig in its zodiac as the last of the 12 animals. It represents fortune, honesty, happiness, virility, and fertility. In fact, statues of pigs are prominently displayed in bedrooms of Chinese couples trying to conceive.

Time to cook up some pork facts during National Pork Month! • Pork is the most commonly consumed meat worldwide, accounting for about 38% of meat production. China accounts for more than half of the world’s pork consumption. The average person will eat 28 pigs over the course of a lifetime. • In 1959, eight pigs were required to produce 1,000 lbs. (453.6 kg) of pork. Today, it takes only five pigs to reach that weight. • Bacon is taken from the sides, belly, or back of the pig, followed up by curing or smoking the meat. If you hear the term “rasher” of bacon, it’s the British term for an individual slice of bacon, while a “flitch” is a side of unsliced bacon. It’s one of the oldest processed meats in history, with records of the Chinese salting pork belly clear back in 1500 B.C. Bacon accounts for one-third of all pork consumed, with over 2 billion pounds (907,184,740 kg) produced annually in the United States. • There are some pretty unusual pork dishes served around the world. In Ireland, cooks serve up Crubeens, a dish of boiled pigs’ feet that are battered and fried. The Germans like Eisbein, consisting of boiled pickled ham hocks. In the Philippines, Hamanodo is prepared by cooking pork in pineapple juice. America’s Pennsylvania Dutch have been making scrapple for centuries. Scrapple is a mush of pork scraps and trimmings mixed with cornmeal or wheat flour and a variety of spices. It’s formed into a loaf and sliced, then pan-fried. Every little scrap of meat left over from butchering was added into scrapple, thus avoiding any waste. • Pork blood soup may not sound too appetizing to some folks. As the name implies, it uses coagulated pork blood as its main ingredient, along with pig intestines, livers, and hearts, barley, and herbs. Another equally appetizing food known as livermush is served in the southern United States, a mixture of pig’s head parts, liver, and cornmeal. • Fans of Chinese food might know that moo shu pork is made of sliced pork tenderloin, cucumber, scrambled eggs, and mushrooms, stir fried in a sesame or peanut oil, and seasoned with ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and rice cooking wine. • Since its introduction by the Hormel Corporation in 1937, more than 8 billion cans of SPAM have been sold. It’s available in 44 countries worldwide. SPAM is a mixture of chopped pork shoulder and ham, with some added sugar and potato starch. • Around 1835, Cincinnati, Ohio became known as “Porkopolis,” when it opened that state’s first slaughterhouse, and exported huge quantities of salt pork to every area of the country. By 1840, there were 48 hog packing plants there, employing 1,200 men. • Jewish and Muslim dietary law forbids the consumption of pork for religious reasons. In fact, its sale is illegal in certain Muslim countries. • Humans can be infected with Trichinella roundworms when they ingest inadequately cooked pork that contains the worms’ larvae. But it’s not just pork than contains the nematodes – wild game and even walruses can contain the larvae. Within days of eating the larvae, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting occur. Without treatment, trichinosis can lead to heart failure. Although most have a complete recovery, muscle pain and weakness can persist. Pork on the grocer’s shelf stamped “USDA Certified” means the meat has been treated for Trichinella.
FABULOUS FOOD:
PORK
• In 1921 a bakery in Indianapolis was getting ready to release their newest product and they needed a name. The product was a 1.5 pound loaf of bread, in BY JANET SPENCER an era where virtually all loaves weighed one pound. • Elmer Cline was vice-president of the company and he attended the International Balloon Race at the Indianapolis Speedway. He was awe-struck by the sight of hundreds of balloons filling the sky. That experience inspired both the name of the bread and the logo: Wonder Bread. • The company advertised widely that “a new wonder” was coming on the market prior to the release of the new product. When it was released, delivery drivers handed out helium-filled balloons to children on their route. Each balloon came with a letter to their mother touting the benefits of Wonder Bread. Wonder Bread quickly became the best-selling bread on the market. • In the 1930s the popular loaf underwent an amazing transformation when it became the world’s first pre-sliced bread. Because the bread was so soft, it was difficult to slice at home without squashing the whole loaf. Sales of pre-sliced bread were slow at first because customers worried that sliced bread would dry out. Convenience overcame apprehension and soon the bread was on tables from coast to coast, inspiring the phrase “the best thing since sliced bread.” The bakery saw a 2,000 percent increase in sales following the introduction of uniformly sliced bread. • In 1890, about 90% of bread was baked at home, but by 1930, 90% of bread was purchased in a store. The widespread popularity of Wonder Bread was made possible due to recent innovations including the use of delivery trucks, as well as the automated bread-wrapping machine. • During World War II metals became so scarce that the blades for slicing bread were no longer available, and bread slicing was suspended for a while. • Because the bread was made from refined wheat flour, it was stripped of all natural B vitamins. Synthetic B vitamins were first manufactured in 1936, and in 1941 Wonder Bread became the first to participate in a government-sponsored movement to enrich white bread with eight essential vitamins and minerals to improve nutrition even among the poorest people. This simple measure nearly eliminated diseases such as beriberi and pellagra caused by a vitamin B deficiency. • Later the company invented a new way of baking bread that eliminated holes, making every loaf perfect and identical, which was especially popular among children. Wonder was also the first national bread brand to feature “best by” dating as well as printing nutrition information on its packaging. • The company sponsored the Howdy Doody TV show, with host Buffalo Bob Smith telling the audience, “Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 8 ways.” By the 1960s, Wonder Bread was advertising with the slogan “Helps build strong bodies 12 ways” referring to the number of added nutrients in each loaf. • During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Americans ate a lot of white bread, consuming an average of a pound and a half of white bread per person, per week. Until the late 1960s, Americans got up to 30% of their daily calories from white bread, more than from any other single item in their diet. • The company that owns Hostess bought Wonder Bread in 1995. Sales and consumption of white bread increased every year up until 1963, when it began a slow decline. In 2012, whole wheat bread outsold white bread for the first time in history.

Back in the day the typical way we received money was via check. Getting a check in the mail, perhaps a paycheck or refund, was common. Now thieves have decided to capitalize on what is most familiar to us ... paper checks. Why are they using paper checks? Because electronic transfers can be instantaneous; paper checks take a few days to clear ... just long enough to scam you. You might be told you’ve won a prize when a check arrives in the mail, or that it’s a refund or payment for a service. Mystery shopping is a perfect example.

The bogus check won’t have cleared yet, however, and the money you wire them will be your own cash. A fake check in the mail isn’t the only way you can run into a scam. If you decide to sell a few things via online auctions, you might be tempted to accept a check from the buyer. Don’t do it. Make yourself familiar with a pay service such as PayPal, and especially don’t accept a check that is over the amount you’re expecting. You’ll likely be told to send the “extra� money back. If you receive a check you’re not expecting, don’t cash it until you get all the details about where it came from and why you’ve received it. If you decide to deposit it, tell your bank what you’re doing so it can keep an eye on things. Do not spend the money. Wait a few weeks to see what happens.

Tidbits is focusing on the history of this youth organization, whose mission is to “engage youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development.” • As improved agricultural methods were being discovered in the late 1800s, older farmers were resistant to the changes. Researchers determined that young people accepted new innovations more readily and were willing to experiment. Rural youth programs began to form to teach them new hands-on techniques. In 1882, a Delaware university sponsored a contest for youths, with each participant required to plant a quarter of an acre of corn, following instructions from the college that outlined new approaches to growing. • In 1902, an Ohio school superintendent, A.B. Graham, met with 30 boys and girls for the purpose of learning about harvesting corn, planting vegetable gardens, soil testing, knot-tying, and wildlife identification. The group was first dubbed the Corn Growing Club, but transitioned into the Boys’ and Girls’ Agricultural Club. This group was the beginning of 4-H clubs as we know them. • Around the same time, another school superintendent, Jessie Field Shambaugh from Iowa, was also organizing “Boys Corn Clubs” and “Girls Home Clubs,” establishing after-school clubs in 130 country schools to improve farming and homemaking practices in rural areas. Jessie’s monthly salary was $33.50. In 1910, she designed a green three-leaf clover pin as an award medal for club members’ work. . The letter “H” was on each leaf, designating “Head,” “Hands,” and “Heart.” A fourth leaf was added later to signify “home,” which was later changed to “Health.” The stem always points to the right. The emblem’s green color symbolizes life, springtime, and youth, while the white represents purity. • In 1912, the groups were first called 4-H clubs, with the club motto “To make
4-H CLUBS

our best better.” The clubs were a national organization by 1914. • The 4-H pledge was written in 1918: “I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.” The club’s slogan is “Learn to do by doing.” • Randolph County, West Virginia, was home to the first 4-H camp, where campers slept in tents in corn fields, rising with the sun and working in the field all day. • In the 1960s, 4-H expanded its programs to include life experiences outside of agriculture, such as developing citizenship and leadership qualities, responsibility, and life skills. The organization has expanded into science, engineering, photography, healthy living, robotics, environmental protection, computer science, and technology programs, even rocket building! Members are addressing climate change, food safety, and childhood obesity. Members no longer live exclusively in rural farming areas, and clubs now exist in suburbs and inner cities across the nation. Of course, some members are still learning how to raise sheep! • There are upwards of 3,000 4-H county offices across the nation, and close to 6 million active 4-H members. Membership is open to those between the ages of 5 and 19.

■ Unless you’ve been blessed with a superhuman grip, odds are you’ve found yourself struggling to get the child resistant cap off a prescription bottle at least once. The good news? That tricky bottle cap actually has a cool secret feature built right, and it may even save you time—and stress—in the long run. Modern prescription bottle caps generally have one or
two raised sections above a ribbed base. While the raised sections of the cap can make it harder to remove, they’re also where the magic lies. When you’ve removed the cap, simply flip it upside down and screw it back in, so that the raised sections are pointed toward the bottom of the bottle. The cap can now be removed with virtually no effort. This is particularly useful for those suffering with arthritis or other conditions that limit their fine motor skills. The inverted cap also provides the perfect place for you to lay out your next pill. Just remember to keep your prcriptions out of the reach

of children. ■ Here’s a tip when spray painting an item: Be sure you are spraying before and after the edges. Press down on the spray trigger so that the paint is coming out before you apply it with a back and forth motion. This will ensure that you have even coverage. ■ The first choice for unclogging a drain should be a nontoxic one. Try pouring a half cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of full-strength vinegar. Wait 10 minutes, then run hot water, if possible.

Thought for the Day: “It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterwards.” -- Baltasar Gracian
► Jewelry lovers, pay attention: Oysters aren’t the only creatures with the capability to make pearls. Pearls can come from any mollusk that makes a shell, including mussels, clams, conchs and even land snails.
► Unless you’re a professional dairy farmer who milks cows on a daily basis, it’s unlikely that you’re aware of the fact that it takes, on average, 350 squirts to get a gallon of milk.
► Feeling pressed by ever-increasing postage rates? Well, consider this: To send mail by Pony Express originally cost $5 per ounce -- the equivalent of more than $150 in today’s dollars.
► Are you a dipsomaniac? The root of the word is from the Greek “dipso,” meaning “thirst” -- and we’re all familiar with the “mania” part. “Dipsomaniac” is just a fancy name for a drunk.
► If you wanted to dig to the center of the earth, you’d have to go down about 4,000 miles.
► Singer and songwriter Roger Miller, best known for his hit song “King of the Road,” had a passion for music early, even though his family was poor. When he was in grade school, he spent his weekends picking cotton so he could save up enough money to buy a guitar. After eighth grade he quit school and went to work herding cattle and riding in rodeos.
► Way back in 1879, the Cincinnati Gazette predicted that the game of baseball had “run its course.”
► If you’re like the average American, you eat roughly 17 pounds of potato chips every year.
► You probably knew that cats were revered in ancient Egypt, but did you know that when a domestic cat died, the family went into mourning? Yep. People would shave their eyebrows to demonstrate their grief over the passing of their beloved pet.
► The name for that lovely lavender stone, amethyst, is derived from the Greek term for “not drunk.”
by: Samantha Weaver
► Are you afraid of rattlesnakes? Those are certainly dangerous creatures, but keep in mind that the venom of a black widow spider is 15 times deadlier than that of the rattler -- and the spider doesn’t provide an early-warning alarm like the rattler does.
► The World Health Organization does not include cockroaches on its list of insects hazardous to human health.
► You might be surprised to learn that when Hernan Cortes reached the New World in the 1600s, he found the Aztecs drinking hot chocolate at their banquets.
