At Christmas time we worry about our dogs tipping over the Christmas tree or tearing open our presents, but what about dogs who chew on the tree?



Protecting And Securing Your Christmas Tree Tips

Small adjustments are all you need to keep your cats and dogs safe this holiday season. Here's a list of tips to use when putting up your Christmas décor:

1. Take your pets out of the room when decorating - Make sure your pets are out of sight while installing holiday decorations. Pets may think you're playing a game with the decorations when moving them around, which could encourage them to swat or pick at them later.


2. Select the right location for your trees and decor - Choose a location that is not cramped or beside any other fixture. Never place wreaths, swags, or other décor that can easily be swiped off in the middle of the coffee table. The best place for these items is hanging high on a wall or door.

You can also use Mantel Swags instead of garlands to decorate your mantel since these don't hang off the edges of the mantel. In other words, keep things high from the pets.

3.  Keep your tree stable - Make sure to use a strong and stable base for your tree. This significantly lowers the chances of it toppling over if brushed by a nosey pet. It's also a good idea to anchor your tree against a wall, if possible.

4.  Wrap tin foil around the trunk of your tree -  Dogs don't like to brush against tin foil. Wrapping foil around your tree is an effective way to dissuade your pets from gnawing on or playing with the trunk.

5.  Make your tree's water container inaccessible - Don't allow pets to drink from your tree's water container. Stagnant tree water is a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria that can harm pets if ingested. Use a receptacle that can be covered. If you can't locate a proper cover, simply hide the basin underneath the tree skirt.


6.  Use a short extension cord - Pets love to play with long and tangled electrical wires, so opt to use a short extension cord with little slack when assembling your Christmas décor. Another smart tip is to tape wires down to the floor or against the wall to prevent pets from playing with loose and moveable sections. If possible, you should also hide all cord ends and sockets from your pets.

7.  Get an automatic shut-off extension - Consider using electrical cords that automatically shut off once they are damaged. This feature will help keep your pets
safe from electrocution, should they start playing with and exposing live wires.


8.  Turn off the power when you leave the house - Don't forget to turn off the power and close off your holiday-decorated rooms when you leave your home or go to
bed. This guarantees your trees and ornaments will stay safe even when you're not around.

Christmastime

Christmastime is a wonderful holiday to celebrate with our families and friends. Let us all remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.

I would like to share this quote with you:

God's Gift

"Christmas gifts? There were none at that time. The Wise Men came later with their offering."

"But God now gave His gift to the world-


that of His Only Begotten Son. And this divine Son by His very birth gave Himself as the greatest Gift of all time."

"He would provide the plan for our salvation. He would give His life that we might rise from the grave and have a happy life in the eternities, forever. Who could give more?"

"What a gift this was think what it means to us! We can learn patience, devotion, and faithfulness such a Mary had. And like her Son we can follow the true gospel principles, being in the world but not of the world."

(Mark E. Peterson, "His Gift to the World, "New Era, Dec 2002, 8)

Me and my family would like to wish you all a very "MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Christmas Holiday Season

Over the years health during the Christmas holiday season has not changed much. The average American gains 1-5 lbs each Christmas holiday season and most people don't lose that extra weight so after 10 years it accumulates.

One way to help prevent this weigh gain is by putting lots of dip and vegetable platters out at Christmas time to help keep your eating on track. I found that each time at our church functions when I take a vegtable platter and many others take sweets that my vegetable platter is almost empty by the end of the evening. I can conclude from this that many of the people also appreciate the fresh vegetable platters as well so I know that it should be a very successful food to add to your "Holiday Feasts."

Some good health tips over the Christmas season!

Christmas Health - Immune System

The Christmas holidays is one of the busiest times of the whole year where we're thinking about others and neglecting ourselves. We celebrate the holidays with lots of Sugar cookies, candies, etc which puts lots of sugar into your body. Sugar raises the insulin level in your body. The insulin level raised inhibits the release of growth hormones which depress your immune system. This makes it easier for people to get the flu or colds over the Christmas holidays.

Every time that you eat a lot of sweet high sugar products the sugar goes into your blood stream and unsettles your body's blood sugar balance which causes your body to gain weight quicker and also elevates your triglyceride levels which are linked to cardivascular disease.

Studies have shown that glucose and Vit C have similar chemical structures so when your sugar levels go up they go into your body's cells and leave less Vit C in the cells so each time you eat sugar you commpletely slow down your immune system making you more susceptible to colds, flu and all diseases.

This Christmas season try to take more Vit C to replace the Vit C that you're losing from the sweets you're taking as it may help your body's immune system. I know that it's hard to do at Christmas time but if you can cut back or cut out sugars, pops, candies and have more fresh, live foods to eat you will get through the Christmas season healthier.

Swine Flu in Pets

I was watching the news a few weeks ago and the American Veterinary Medical Associaion confirmed the first 13 year old tabby cat in Iowa was positive for the
H1N1 influenza virus in Nov 2009. This is the first cat diagonosed with this flu strain. How did a indoor cat get the swine flu? The vet believed that the cat caught the virus from one of the family members in his home who was sick with H1N1. The cat recovered and hasn't infected anyone or any other animal.

I recently read in the newspaper of a pig farmer having H1N1 in his herd of pigs and he had to put them all down because his hired hand was sick with the virus. His employee continured to work while he was sick with H1N1 and he gave it to the pigs.

The vet said pet owners need to take preventative measures so we don't spread the swine flu to our pets. Make sure you and your family always wash your hands, don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth and stay in if you're sick. The pig farmer lost his whole herd of pigs from one sick employee. Let's be careful to protect our pets by good health practices as you would do this for other people.

Swine flu Pandemic and the media

I've just watched the H1N1 Panel last night on a national TV news show where they talked about the media's influence by their stories about the swine flu on many people as they were criticized for their coverage over one boy's death close to 300 times. People were so scared after they covered that one story that they were all flocking to get their swine flu shots and were upset about not getting their swine flu shots. I know people who are panicked about not getting their swine flu shots yet. Anyways the media on that station were asking if they covered the story too much and had too much influence on people because of their stories.

I think that the media has placed way too much hype on the swine flu and the very few deaths that have occurred from it so far. They've blown the few stories way out of proportion as we never ever hear yearly from the media about the normal 4,000+ deaths from the regular flu in Canada. Nothing is ever said about those statistics to the general public.

On Sat 2 May 2009 (at the website guardian.co.uk) the Mexican health minister, José Ángel Córdova says that the swine flu outbreak in Mexico they suspect has been smaller than initially feared after the country's health minister revised down the suspected death toll from 176 to 101.

There have been 908 tests on suspected cases in Mexico. Of them, 397 turned out to have the virus, health officials said.


All this hype about nothing as the total deaths from the swine flu in Mexico don't even surpass the 4000+ deaths from the yearly regular flu viruses in our country of Canada (32 million) and Mexico (103 million) has a far greater population. You can see by the numbers that 101 deaths from the swine flu certainly doesn't surpass over 4000+ deaths from the regular flu. Search it out yourselves on the web.

On Oprah's show she had and expert UN doctor warn us about the Avian Influenza on June 4, 2006 to help us all prepare for the Bird Flu Pandemic where every facet in society would be effected and shut down because of that. Now I ask you what happened in 2006? Did the whole society come to a standstill and halt because of the Bird Flu?

This reminds me of all the hype the media reported about Y2K where all the computers were going to stop Jan 1, 2000. It was supposed to create a total collapse of our society as we know it and people where taking all of their money out of their bank accounts, buying tons of food, etc. I woke up Jan 1, 2000 and nothing happened and I suspect the same thing will happen here with the swine flu pandemic.

Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween safety for your children is important at this time of the year. Simple common sense can keep your children safe. Please read these and follow these tips to make your children's Halloween fun and safe.

1. If you have pumpkins for decorations with candles in them keep them away from where the children will be getting their treats to keep them safe from costumes catching on fire.

2. Help your children pick out safe Halloween costumes so they aren't too long to trip on them or restrictive in any way.

3. If your child has a costume accessorie as a knife, etc make sure that it won't injure them if they trip and fall before purchasing.

4. It is safer for your child to wear makeup then to wear a mask as it detracts from their vision.

5. Have your child wear something bright on their costume or they can put reflective strips on the costume or carry glowsticks or flashlights so that they can be seen at night.

6. Make a route plan of where they plan to trick or treat before your kids leave the house and stick to the plan.

7. Make sure that your children know to take no shortcuts in alley's, etc but to go around the long way where there are lots of street lights and people around.

8. Tell the children to only go to houses with the front porch lights on.

9. Don't go into someone's home to get candy stay outside their door and wait for them to bring the candy to you outside.

10. Make sure the kids know they need to follow the traffic laws for safety.

11. Feed your children a good meal before they go trick or treating so they won't eat much until they get home.

12. I always tried to go with my children trick or treating to make sure that they are safe but if they are older and don't want their parents to go make sure that they are going in a group for their safety and protection.

13. Check their candy before they eat and when they get home. Throw out any candy that's not in their original wrapper or if the packaging looks tampered with.

14. When carving pumpkins don't let the small children use sharp knives and make sure they are adult supervised.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Swine flu, colds, Influenza and Vit D

by Queenie1

Word count: 392

Colds and most flu viruses infect more people in the winter season then at any other season of the year. Many people are advised by their doctors and pharmacies to take the flu vaccines.
Studies show that Dr. John Cannell who was a Vit D expert and psychiatrist at Atascadero State Hospital in California published a paper that showed that lower levels of Vit D in the blood at winter time increased your ability to get the influenza virus.
In 2006 Dr. Cannell noticed that patients in his psychiatric ward didn't get the influenza that year while other patients in different wards of the same hospital did get the flu. Dr. Cannell's patients were receiving a low dose of 2,000 units of Vit D per day that he prescribed. It is interesting to note that the patients under his care receiving Vit D doses did not get the influenza while the other patients in the other wards of the same hospital did get the influenza. There is much information available about this to read online.
Studies show that Vit D stimulates the bodies immune system and the bodies disease fighting cells. If you were to maintain your Vit D levels at the optimal range you may not be affected by colds or the flu viruses during the flu season. The Vit D levels in your blood can be checked and should be above 50 nglml. If you're an adult with low Vit D levels you can take 2,000 – 5,000 IU's of Vit D per day or get 20 min of direct sunlight on as much skin as possible daily. Direct sunlight maybe harder to get in the winter season when your living in the northern climates so supplementing your body with inexpensive Vit D supplements should help.
If the swine flu should come will Vit D help you to have a sufficient immunity. For most people taking an optimal amount of Vit D should help. Dr. Cannell says people taking 5,000 IU of Vit D usually don`t get colds and flu any more. We still need to practice health safety practices and avoid contact with others who are sick and avoid our exposure to areas where they are sick. We need to do all we can to protect ourselves and our families.

Disability Pensions - Can I qualify?

You’re very, very sick and totally crash after any activity that you do. You try to work but are unable to handle the pressure as well as the physical endurance that it takes to do your job. The first thing that you will need to do is speak with your doctor about your health concerns. From my experience some doctors don’t want to help you so you will have to go out and look for a doctor who will help you.Your doctor is the first one who decides if you can or do qualify for a disability pension. They will send you to other doctors sometimes for added tests and witnesses to prove that you aren’t capable of holding down a regular job. Together with your doctors recommendations and other specialists in the field related to your disability it might help witness that you need the disability pension.

Disability pensions aren’t as much money coming in as if you were working so you’ll have to be on a very limited budget and if you are married you may be limited to the amount of disability pension that you can get because of your spouses earnings. Sometimes the government will take into account the families total incomes and deduct from the disability pension totals but still provide you with help for your medicines, eye care, etc that you may need. You have to check with what agency that you are applying for be it government or an insurance disability pension. Every province, state or country has their own laws governing disability pensions. If you can still work you would probably make more money by cutting down your hours of work to part-time or finding another job better suited to you and your physical or emotional situation. You usually have to be unemployed for at least one year to qualify for a disability pension.

From my experience most of the people who need disability pensions are rejected and they don’t receive any help as I’ve seen many others whom weren’t as physically ill seemed to receive a disability pension. There are agency’s as well as lawyers whom will work for you to help fight for you to receive a disability pension. They usually take a cut of your pension for their payment fees when you receive the pensions and if you don’t they wouldn’t receive anything. Carefully check any agreements to make sure you understand what you’re signing with them first so you don’t get into a contract that’s legal and binding that isn’t for your benefit.

Be prepared to wait as sometimes the government has been known to drag these cases out 5 years or more and they usually refuse your first claim so you may have to appeal it and they still may take years of their processing your claim. If your financial situation can’t wait 5 years for the disability claim to be approved you should start looking at other ways of bringing in revenue while you work part time or at home around your specific health concerns.

There is always hope and a way for you but you have to earnestly seek for another way to bring in income that will work best for you and your family with your health problems.
