#26) Take Your Medicine!

It is a dangerous world out there, I just heard this morning  on the radio that you have a 1 in 3,200 chance of space junk falling on your head.  I don't know about you but that  makes me want to stay inside, no more lawn mowing or pushing the garbage can up the hill for me, I am staying inside.  But I will tell you what is scary and should be of a concern to anyone who is taking drugs, be it prescription or the over the counter stuff.  Here are the facts for you to chew on:

Prescription drug reactions cause more than 2,000,000 hospital admissions every year in America. (Journal of the American Medical Association - JAMA)

More than 180,000 Americans die every year from taking their medications!!!   9-11 killed around 3,000 people and we went to war, losing another 3,000 soldiers in the battle.  The drug industry is a power house industry, they make a lot of really bad drugs, most new drugs that come out every year are taken off the market within 5 years with class action lawsuits over the deaths and damages they cause.

Prescription medication use is the third (3rd) leading cause of death in America-dwarfing automobile accidents, AIDS, alcohol and illegal drug abuse, infectious disease, diabetes and murder.

More than 106,000 patients die per year because of  PROPERLY  prescribed drugs.  In other words what this report is detailing is that taking a drug to change body physiology is serious and has great risk.

Improper prescription events include both physician and patient errors, like prescription of the wrong drug, wrong dose or wrong patient...

June 8, 2010 a huge Danish study finds that high doses of common painkillers raise the risk of heart death in healthy people.  "We found that most NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, diclofenac, cataflam, voltaren...) are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity (death)," says researcher Emil Loldrup Fosbol, MD, of Gentofte University Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark.

Perhaps of concern to more Americans is the finding that ibuprofen (brand names include Advil and Motrin) increased risk of stroke by about 30% in the Fosbol study.

Based on other evidence, an American Heart Association panel in 2007 warned that treating chronic pain with NSAIDs other than aspirin increases a person's risk of heart attack and stroke.  The lead author of this AHA statement, Elliot M. Antman of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital says the Fosbol findings underscore the importance of those recommendations.  "Doses examined in this study were very similar to doses that patients are likely to encounter both  at over-the-counter level and prescription level," Antman says in a news release.
This article taken from WebMD Health News by Daniel J DeNoon, titled-Common Painkillers Raise Heart Death Risk.  Ibuprofen increases stroke risk; Diclofenac as risky as Vioxx, study finds.

Solution?  Ask questions, do I really need this drug?  Is there something I could be doing instead? Is this the correct dose for my body size and my age?  Ask both the doctor and the pharmacist and then look up the drug you are taking, understand the potential side effects.   Maybe a good chiropractor could lessen your need for pain killers?  And maybe a great weight loss program could dramatically improve your health potential, normalize your blood pressure and eliminate your need for Lipitor and Viagra?  Our patients get out of pain quickly and our 30/10 Weight Loss program is amazing, women lose an average of 30 lbs. in 10 weeks, men lose 50/10,  and we frequently see blood pressure and cholesterol levels come back to normal again.  Nothing is more important than our health-eat right, lose the weight, exercise, sleep well and let go the stress, and provided you are not a space junk statistic you could live to a vibrant ripe old age.   Until next time, Dr. Mark Doyle

#25) WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

Patients ask me how I change beliefs. It is very easy for me to do and it does not take but a matter of minutes. I will define a belief as something we feel strongly about and have proof.  Lets say you have a strong belief that you will remain fat for the rest of your life.  When I ask you how you know that for certain, you then provide me with a long list of "proofs."  You may tell me that your whole family is fat and the doctors have told you it is genetic.  Another "proof" you may have is perhaps you have been fat since grade school.  And you know for certain that as a woman gets older she just gets fatter, and you have some "proofs" on that fact as well.   So my new prospective slim down client has just disarmed me with her "proofs" as to why she cannot lose weight, or has she??  My response to my new friend is, "then you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are not going to be able to slim down, reach your target goal and keep the weight off for life, don't you?"   Then I ask, "would you like to lose the weight if you could, reach your ideal weight and keep that weight off for the rest of your life?"   Now that is a really good question because it tells if I am dealing with someone who really wants to slim down.  If they say to me that they would love to lose the weight if they could and they are being honest with themselves in that statement then it is a piece of cake for me to change their belief.

We have two minds you know, we have an active conscious thinking mind and we have a subconscious mind where we store all our experiences, emotions, true feelings and beliefs.  In reality it is the subconscious mind that drives our bus, we consciously react to those subconscious feelings and beliefs like little robots.  When I change beliefs I go into the subconscious mind and I erase the false or limiting beliefs and replace them with  more beneficial and useful beliefs.  Essentially if someone has a program running in the subconscious, that they are going to be fat the rest of their life, and that program was installed at some time in their life with strong emotion and or repetition, then that software program is going to run their  life (behaviors, feelings, actions, resulting life experiences, etc.)  as it relates to that strong belief.   In a matter of minutes I will erase the false and limiting programs and download a new positive and constructive belief.  It is rewarding to see the shift in a client's expression and demeanor when the pivot/shift in belief occurs.  This process is  essential in many of my client cases  in order to make their slim down program effective.   Weight loss is not just about the diet, we have to effectively handle the mental/emotional/habit side of this issue and when we do we get fast and certain weight loss that is exciting and transforming.
Until next time, Dr. Mark Doyle

Review: Aio, Sardinian restaurant, Bath

I’ve been waiting to go to this Sardinian restaurant for months, since Nick promised me he’d take me there sometime in the summer, so as a late anniversary treat Nick finally managed to book us a table and get us here! The atmosphere is lovely, it is a very small restaurant, about 40 seats, but that gives the place a nice cosy feel. The staff informed us of the specials on the board, and other specials that they hadn’t put up there yet (I like the sound of their specials, although they seemed far pricier than what was on the rest of the menu). What I liked on the drinks menu is how dishes from the main menu have been suggested with the wines, so you can pair up the dishes you are going to order depending on your wine choice. Since we already knew that we were going to share an antipasti platter and we were both going to be ordering pasta, we chose the house red option “Arpeggio Rosso” which had said complimented these dishes, which I would say was a pleasant enough wine.

For starter we had the Antipasto terra, which was a selection of cured ham, bologna, salami (or something similar?), mozzarella, little peaks of pecorino, olives, salad in a balsamic dressing and Sardinian flat bread on a wooden board. The wooden board actually is the same one we use for tapas at work- I can’t ruddy escape that place lol!! It also came with two kilner jars, one filled with marinated aubergines and the other marinated peppers. I think that the portion size was more than adequate, but I would have much preferred some nice hunks of rustic bread instead of the Sardinian flat bread they served it with- which was very nothingy and really thin, kind of like an Italian poppadum or something!! Overall perhaps I felt the whole selection was a little…salty perhaps. The pecorino, cured ham, and marinated vegetables were all very strong flavours, and I think perhaps they need to work on making the combination of ingredients work together a little better. However, I did enjoy the starter, as you could tell that all the separate elements were fresh and of good quality.

For the main course I had the “Malloreddus all Campidanese”, which on the menu was described as shell shaped pasta with Sardinian sausage, tomato and saffron. Nick had the “Culurgiones All Agnelo” which was pea and potato ravioli topped with a lamb ragu. When my dish arrived my first reaction was how very basically it had been presented. Not meant to be an insult, but it looked like any sort of pasta-in-a-tomato-sauce-like dish that any student could prepare and spoon into a bowl. But my first mouthful indicated to me that it was so much more than this. The flavours were so rich, intense, concentrated and delicious- that I completely forgot about the very “basic looking” plate of food in front of me. This is what rustic Italian food should stand for- nothing to do with looks, EVERYTHING to do with flavour! I really liked the texture and unique flavour of the Sardinian sausage as well- they had obviously been skinned and cooked into a sauce, similar to mince, but you could get hints of fennel/lemony flavoured meat in there which was very pleasant. I’ve got to admit, the saffron was completely lost in the dish, and I couldn’t taste any of it, but really saffron has no place in a dish with such strong flavours dominating it, and there was no need of this spice in my opinion. Nick’s ravioli was very nice as well- the filling could have done with a little more seasoning, but the ragu was rich and delicious and the ravioli had been made and cooked very well.

The staff were very attentive, and seemed very friendly to customers- the manager there seemed to be having nice conversations about Italian food and culture with various customers who had visited Sardinia and was interested in finding out more about it. Dessert I have got to admit though was terribly disappointing. We were told that the panacotta was sold out, which was a shame, so Nick suggested we order chocolate fondant, to share. I told Nick at the time that I wondered if they made their desserts fresh here, since I used to work in an Italian chain restaurant, and knew that we made none of the desserts fresh (except the panacotta ) and that a lot of Italian restaurants have the same supplier of desserts and therefore serve the same dishes, perhaps slightly differently described. Kinda like how you get the same desserts in Indian restaurants too- because they all have the same stockists and they don’t make them.

Well the fondant arrived, and I did the “fondant test” on it- putting your spoon into the middle of the fondant and spreading it out- to reveal what should be an oozing liquid centre. In this case- no dice, completely solid. There were also little line marks on the top of the fondant which would suggest to me that they had come from a foil packet of some sort. If as I suspect, it had come from a packet, they had also microwaved it for too long- the chocolate tasted bitter and overcooked. A disappointing end to the meal, but I didn’t leave there feeling completely cheated. The main courses were so delicious, and the atmosphere was so pleasant, that I would definitely return to this restaurant again. It is a mid-high priced restaurant so it would only be for a special occasion, but it’s a very nice and romantic place to eat I think. Service I would give 9/10, whilst for the food I would have to give a 7/10, mainly because of the issues with puddings. As far as I’m concerned, the place is a rustic, romantic, Italian restaurant, that incorporates fresh ingredients into delicious dishes.

PS: I forgot to mention, what I thought was a cool thing that the restaurant does on sundays that if you call in advance and book it, they can prepare you and your group of friends roast suckling pig, with rosemary potatoes and chargrilled vegetables- how rather scrummy sounding! I might try this out some day xx

Recipe: Mediterranean Vegetable Baguette

Bit of an unusual sandwich but it was absolutely delicious, really quick to make, and really set me up for the night! You can use the roasted aubergine slices you get vac-packed in olive oil from the world bit of the supermarkets, or you can just roast slices of it yourself- thick slices, drizzled with plenty of olive oil, salt and pepper, and chucked in the oven at 200C for about 10 minutes.

Mediterranean Vegetable Baguette (serves 1)

1 demi baguette (warm: optional)
4 thick slices roasted aubergine in olive oil (use deli, or roast your own)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small clove garlic, crushed
½ green pepper, diced
4 chestnut mushrooms, quartered
1 tbsp Philadelphia
1 tsp sundried tomato paste
Salt and pepper

1. Fry the peppers, mushroom and garlic in olive oil, for 10 minutes. Mix together the Philadelphia and sundried tomato paste. Open up the baguette. Spread both sides with the cream cheese.
2. Arrange the slices of aubergine, and the hot fried mushrooms and peppers. Press together, slice and serve!

Competition: Red Tractor Assurance Recipe Competition

Hey guys, sorry I havent posted in a while, it's just i've got this mahoosive scary assignment that i've just only just manage to finish now (the day before the hand-in date) so i've had to really focuss on my Uni stuff recently. Anyway, so you might have remembered me mentioning this competition a little over a month ago, and, well, it's all over now and I got second place! My Cider and Mustard Chicken, made with Red Tractor Farm assured ingredients, won me a pretty Aga Cast Iron oven dish, and a red tractor branded apron and tote bag.

To be honest, I should have got 1st place, it's all down to the fact that these people can't run a competition properly (people could vote unlimited times, and I was winning for the full 5 weeks of the competition just from normal votes, then on the last night of the comp someone spam voted their entry in order to win), but hey ho, never mind- 2nd place is still pretty fab anyway! Thanks to any of you guys for voting for me xx

Zero Waste Europe - my top 10 favourite blogposts

So, did you know it's the European Week for Waste Reduction?  I guess it's not the most snappy of names to roll off the tongue, but I love the fact there is one week in the year that's dedicated towards bringing our diverse continent together in the fight against waste.

It also makes me feel that my dusty old degree in Modern European Studies from (cough) the 1980s, still has some relevance to my life today.  The concluding motto in 1989 was that 'Europe is a unity through its diversity'.  I can't remember what I made of that back then, but when it comes to tackling our mountain of waste, it's certainly relevant to today's range of initiatives - diverse yet united towards the same goal, that of waste minimisation.

So for EWWR, (a much snappier title), I thought I'd kick off with an introduction to one of my favourite Zero Waste blogs, Zero Waste Europe, and my top ten favourite blogposts, revealing some of the great ideas that are taking place on the continent as well as inspiration from further afield.

On the Road to Zero Waste: Lessons from around the world


But seriously, don't stop there.  There are plenty of other great posts, including some wonderful examples of waste reduction activities in the UK too, such as Nappy Ever After and Unpackaged.

For anyone who wants to explore the wider approach to Zero Waste, Zero Waste Europe really is a great place to start.

And on that note, as you travel virtually from country to country, perhaps all that's left to say, is 'Bon Voyage!'

European Week for Waste Reduction runs from 17-25 November.  More information can be found at www.ewwr.eu.  To follow events and discussion on Twitter, use the hashtag #ewwr.

The Rubbish Diet could be coming to a town near you!

The Rubbish Diet team visiting Nesta!

Please excuse my tardiness in sharing this VERY EXCITING news with you. 

I should have done it last week, but with news of my mum falling ill, then rushing to Wales to see her, then losing my laptop en route, and continued worries about her health, understandably this blog has had to take a back seat.

However, I can't keep it quiet any longer!  What's happening with The Rubbish Diet is far too exciting to keep tucked away in my desk drawers and if you follow me on Twitter, you may have indeed caught a few snippets of the news.

So to the sound of an imaginary drum-roll, I am chuffed to pieces to announce that my Rubbish Diet challenge has been selected as a semi-finalist in a national waste reduction competition, which could see the 'slimming club' analogy rolled out to villages, towns and cities, right across the UK, helping communities achieve an amazing impact on reducing their rubbish.

The Waste Reduction Challenge, run by Nesta, the UK’s innovation foundation, and funded by the Cabinet Office, aims to identify new ideas that can influence and mobilise communities to make significant reductions in waste and impact behaviour for years to come.

In partnership with the Zero Waste Alliance UK (working with Katy Anderson, pictured above), the Rubbish Diet competition entry proposes to engage with established community groups around the UK, including schools, Transition Towns and W.I. branches, to help them organise their own waste-busting challenges, following an 8-week plan of fun and lively events that will help to empower households to slim their bins.

The idea is, of course, based on the very roots of this blog, when I took St Edmundsbury Borough Council's Zero Waste Week Challenge almost five years ago, (remember that plaster?), and which then developed into the online Rubbish Diet Challenge 2012, where I mentored 8 households through the process of slimming their bins, by at least 50%, at the beginning of this year.


Building on that, I have since been busy with Transition Shrewsbury, which has already launched its Rubbish Diet Shropshire community pilot, where 20 households have signed up to reduce their waste.  This is just the first stage. The Rubbish Diet Shropshire project, which is being managed locally, will launch even wider in the new year,  with events run by the community for the community, with households just like yours and mine, sharing knowledge about how they reduce their waste and attempting to overcome the hurdles that arise.

And it's that process, which the Nesta Waste Reduction Challenge will help to replicate around the UK.

So, we're in the semi-finals!  What next?

This is where even more hard work begins, in putting together an ambitious but realistic plan to roll-out the Rubbish Diet challenge next year, featuring a communications strategy, participant engagement, measuring & monitoring procedures and lots of other exciting things that will help communities launch their own slimming clubs for bins.

So, there really really could be a fun Rubbish Diet challenge coming to an area near you.  Just imagine!

We just need to get through the next round! But, boy, is the competition tough! So please keep watching this space for further news.

And of course, if you think your community would like to join in, then do get in touch.

___________________________________

The Waste Reduction Challenge Prize is offering a prize for the innovation that achieves the biggest measureable reduction in waste, by providing new opportunities for communities to come together to give time, skills and resources.

The semi-finalists (which also includes a Mattress Recycling Scheme in my home county of Suffolk) will be supported to develop a detailed plan for their idea. In January, five concepts for each, with the potential for sustainability and scale, will be selected to test their ideas. They will receive up to £10,000 and professional advice to set up and test their projects before a winner for each challenge is selected in September 2013 and awarded £50,000.

Recipe: Spiced Chilli Lemon Chicken with Potato Wedges

This is a nice relaxed saturday lunch i made for me and my boyfriend over the weekend- it was really using what we had in the fridge really, but i fancied something a little bit spicy, a little bit healthy, but filling- and this fitted the bill. The recipe is for two but it is very easily multiplied.

Spiced Chilli Lemon Chicken, with potato wedges (serves 2)

1 tsp Lazy red chillies in white wine vinegar
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp paprika
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp ginger paste
Juice of ½ a lemon
½ tsp sugar

Salt and pepper
3 chicken breasts

4 medium sized maris piper potatoes, sliced into wedges
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper

2.Preheat the oven to 180C. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, and boil the potato wedges for 6 minutes. Drain and add the parboiled potatoes into a roasting tray, with the olive oil, rosemary and plenty of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and bake in the oven for 35 minutes.

Get to know Breast Cancer Symptoms

Normally, the body's cells naturally reproduced only when needed. But sometimes these cells can continue to multiply without control, forming a dense network also called a tumor, If the cells are normal cells to multiply, it is not dangerous. but if that is the cells multiply abnormally, that trigger cancer.

Breast cancer, for example. As the name implies, this cancer begins in the breast tissue and can spread to the breast even to other organs. The spread is also called metastasis. Not only occurs in women, breast cancer can affect men. Not yet known exactly what causes cancer, but some factors can increase a person's risk of developing cancer, for example:

1. Age.
In women, the risk of someone getting breast cancer increases as age began forty years old and from the age of sixty years in men.

2. Genetic.
The risk increases if a close relative who has had breast cancer.

3. Unhealthy diet and obesity.

4. Smoking and drinking alcohol frequently.

5. Lazy to exercise.

Here are the symptoms caused by breast cancer: - A lump on or around the breast after the menstrual period is complete - Changes in the shape and size of the breast - Clear or bloody discharge from the nipple - Breast skin becomes wrinkled or scaly - The skin becomes red or inflamed breast and nipple changes (such as peeling)

Lack of awareness of the dangers of breast cancer is often detected only after making the disease is quite severe. To prevent breast cancer, it is recommended to do a routine check yourself (self-exams). Touch the breast for possible lumps, or a check with mammograms when you are entering the age of forty, especially if your family has a history of breast cancer. Examination of the 3D Sonomamogram considered more accurate and safer because it does not use radiation.

Need tips on a more simple, so that the cancer does not 'close'? You should exercise regularly, at least for half an hour every day. Eating healthy foods is also very helpful, eg berries (strawberries and raspberries) is rich in antioxidants and green vegetables (spinach, broccoli and cabbage). Avoid processed foods and full fat.

How to Wear Blush On

Blush or blusher is useful to give color and warmth to the face. The view that most women want to achieve is a fresh face radiant, warm and natural, Blush is available in powder, cream or liquid and in a variety of colors.

How to put blush on liquid and cream blush on the right is to use it as a face before being given a foundation and powder. Blush would look more perfect if we do not face problems. Blush on this type is very sensitive to skin problems. Blush is more suitable for dry and normal skin.

Generally, most women prefer to use a powder blush / powder because it's easier to wear, This type can be used for all skin types, especially for oily skin because it will reduce the oil available for use. Solid, blush is only used when we have to use foundation and powder.
