This killing started with the
'burning of the Koran' in Afghanistan
by the American soldiers when they
discovered this Holy book
defaced by the
Muslim prisoners
who wrote in the
margins. Defacing, in itself is
an Islamic sin.
The Americans were
afraid the prisoners were organizing and
hiding messages in the margin of these
books; so they
had them burned.
After years of fighting and living in a Muslim
country, you would think that our military
would know that burning 'anything'
that was considered 'holy' by the Muslims
would be a death
sentence.
We already know that the
Muslim extremists don't follow their
own laws; therefore, never mind the
defacing of holy scripture by Muslims;
kill the infidels who burned the defaced
books and let the American President
apologize, to emphasize just how
wrong we were.
This 'burning' of the Koran led
to the killing of American soldiers and diplomats
for revenge.
Who didn't see
this coming? Probably the person who
apologized.
Who didn't feel the tension between the
Afghanistan people
and the
Americans?
Not, the
American commander who warned his troops, after
the killing of Americans, to be "calm" amidst
the rioting against them by the Muslims.
What was the possibility of one
soldier having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD)?
It only took
one, in the dead of night, who
strayed off base looking for a kill.
It has not been determined, if he had PTSD because
he walked back to the base and surrendered.
"What insane person would surrender?" I heard the news media
say. The prosecution will argue that he was sane enough
to surrender to his American unit; rather than, to extreme Muslims; therefore, sane enough when he killed. He should be
executed.
The question should be? What sane person
would randomly kill innocent children,
women and men and then set them on fire?
This soldier had a previous record of head injuries acquired
while on duty in Iraq with
symptoms of PTSD, but it was ignored and he
was sent back to his third tour of duty.
How can the
United States government
continue to ignore soldiers with
PTSD signs when the final
outcome, when not treated, could
be death or International chaos.
The burning of the Koran exhibits
some levels of duress on our soldiers.
Who in their right mind would burn an Islamic
Holy book on Muslim soil among Muslims?
Medical science is not exact.
It is still full of
uncertainties and irregularities that
vary from patient to patient.
What is an 'exact' science:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; if not treated
completely and thoroughly, will create havoc by
putting a gun in the hands of a soldier and deploying
him repeatedly into a hostile environment.
I think it's called "Duh" science.
"....The term "berserk" is an Old Norse
word describing the frenzied trance
in which some warriors fought.
The link between combat stress and outbursts
of violence was well documented even before
troops began routinely serving three, four or
more combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan
over the past decade. But PTSD and violence
among veterans has become more prevalent.
A study conducted at the
Puget Sound Veterans Affairs hospital in Washington, for
instance, demonstrated high
levels of anger and hostility
among returning combat
veterans screening positive
for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The soldier in the Afghanistan
shooting had been diagnosed
with traumatic brain injury in
2010 after a vehicle rollover in Iraq,
CNN reported Monday night,
citing an unnamed U.S. official.
A temporary finding of traumatic
brain injury is required by the U.S.
military after troops suffer any
possible concussion from a blast
or other cause and does not
necessarily indicate significant
brain injury, mental health
specialists said. CNN reported
that the soldier was later cleared
for return to duty.
According to a recent
U.S. Army study, about
472,000 troops who served
in Iraq or Afghanistan may
have some form of PTSD.

Blogging about Blogging and then Blogging
My brain is full of information, but there is no passion to get it out there. Only to exist from day to day. I have no priorities, only what comes from minute to minute.
One minute I am putting on my clothes, the next I am taking them off. What happens in between is not important anymore.
I read an article on doomsday last week and thought it was not important enough to share.
But just in case, you want to bunker down;
the increase in sunspots on the sun, according to some scientists, will cause catastrophic environmental changes that will kill thousands;
which means we should hope for something really bad to happen
so we can have that euphoric feeling afterwards.
I am harking back to my idea that "Life is full of paradoxes."
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't experience that eventuality.
The more conscious I am of doing something perfect, the more
mistakes I make while doing it. The reasoning should be: try not
to do something perfectly and when it comes out near perfect;
it was inevitable.
I am conscious of washing raw vegetables to make
healthy juices knowing there is contamination
somewhere in the process.
I am aware that Canola oil sold as oil, as well as,
used in almost every processed food on the shelf
or in frozen foods, is still controversial
when it comes to it's properties of health benefits
and toxins.
"....Canola was developed through conventional
plant breeding from rapeseed, an oilseed plant
already used in ancient civilization as a fuel..."
not a food source.
My take from the Canola plant,
other than it comes
from a toxic plant, is
that no one emphasizes
all the different insecticides used to sustain the growth of these plants. In fact, the economics of manufacturing the plant takes precedence over the health benefits....
"... The reliance on current and new pest management technologies will be necessary to minimize potential economic losses from insect pests of canola and unintended pest impacts on other crops to help maintain the vitality of canola production in the United States."....
There is still plenty of controversy about this plant
The excerpts I like the best about
genetically altered and natural food products:
"...According to Mary Enig, PhD., unrefined coconut
oil is safe to use in cooking..... Udo
says the only safe oil to use to fry or bake with, is water.
He says no fat can stand the temperatures used
in food processing without being adversely affected.
MARGARINE .. (Oleo) .. isn't food.
Partially hydrogenated oils — trans–fatty acids, are always poisonous. ......Unsaturated fatty acids have points of molecular strain,....all of these molecules have a curved shape that allows them to fit neatly into the membranes that enclose all cells and many of the structures within them. Chemists call this natural shape the cis-configuration. Heat and harsh chemical treatment can cause unsaturated fatty acids to spring open into a different shape called the trans-configuration, which looks jointed instead of curved.The body cannot incorporate trans-fatty acids into membranes, and if it tries to do so, deformed cellular structures may result.
Eating trans-fatty acids in margarine, vegetable shortening, and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils probably increases cancer risks, promotes inflammation, and accelerates aging and degenerative changes in tissues...
...Most restaurants and commercially manufactured
food products substitute it for butter ...
If I were absent - minded of all of these
hazards in my life, I may survive;
Whereas, being mindfully aware of them
is killing me.

A Cancer Preventive Story
For those of you who inquired about the
super food vegetable juice ritual..
to the gods...
Cancer is an uncertain disease and
some things work for some, but not others.
When it works, it's a combination of God's Will,
your DNA, and Luck and since
Life is not fair, it takes a desire to live longer...too.
About 8 years ago, my oldest daughter took
me to a person who could see guardian angels around
me. She told me that they said that my husband would become
very ill and that he needed to eat more green
vegetables. She said my guardian angels gave her this
recipe of a concoction of green vegetables to cook,
puree and drink. After stirring my witch's brew for hours,
destroying most the potency of the vitamins through the
cooking process; my husband would not eat it.
I ended up eating it all week long since I
made enough for an army.
The message from my guardian angels,
that was important, at that time, was that my
husband would have a life threatening illness,
and he needed to change his diet.
Shortly afterwards, I saw a documentary about a guy who had
prostate cancer and he was making salads with
his family as a healthy diet alternative. My husband said
that would NEVER be him.
Three years later he
had prostate cancer.
After his surgery, my husband
called Dr. Figtree, a nutritionist,
http://dalefigtree.com/
who lives too far for regular visits, so she
advised him to get his blood tested and
have the results sent to her. She analyzed
his blood and gave him the type of raw
vegetable juice he drinks now.
The juice my husband drank (below) was healthy, but it
did not make the cancer signs (PSA readings)
go away completely as he still had a .01 PSA reading
after 3 years.
She told him to add
the Kale vegetable to his juice and after a couple
of months, his next
PSA reading was Zero...
there is NO scientific proof that Kale
made the difference.
The reason people juice raw vegetables,
is for the highest potency in vitamins.
I, personally, did not go to Dr. Figtree.
I just drink what's left over of my husband's juice. I figure
there are just so many raw vegetables on the face of the planet
that have all the same vitamin combinations.
I also use Green Vibrance, a super food,
as a substitute or
additive to my juice.
You will want to use a straw so it will not stain your
teeth dark green and red.
Try to buy Organic foods and wash in them
vinegar water and soap.
Soap sounds strange, but it's better than getting
E.coli.
Organic raw foods can be just as
dangerous as pesticide foods, I believe,
if you don't wash them properly.
Below are the combination vegetables that
my husband's nutritionist recommended after
analyzing his blood. It's not 100% foolproof, but
a way to get on the path to eating healthier,
feeling better and looking younger.
You will be surprised that once you start
a healthier diet, it will come naturally and your taste
buds will change naturally too.
This is for those of us, like my husband, who may have to be on
death row before we change our habits.
2 large leaves Chard
3 or 4 Kale leaves (added a few months ago)
2 carrots
2 celery
1 small beet ( or a large beet cut up into 2 or 3 portions)
Slice of ginger root( 1 tablespoon or less depending on your taste)
1 Cucumber
I small hand full of cilantro ( I add it for flavor, I have no clue if it helps)
