(And you thought that going to the drugstore means it’s always safe…Hum?)

Urghhs … (is not no measure of health to be well adjusted to a sick society).

So also become aware that: (info. via “Consumer Reports” of April this year).

→ Advil, Motrin and Aleve (naproxen) can increase your blood pressure, damage your liver, kidneys, and stomach (if used for a long time)

→ Benadryl - can increase your chance of dehydration, heat stroke or heat shock.

→ Alka-Seltzer and Bromo Seltzer can increase your blood pressure (very high in sodium).

→ Pepcid AC, Prilosec and Zantac 150 may cause serious health problems if taken with other medicines(our accountant is’ very ill because of Prilosec).

To avoid mistakes, follow these steps:

• Choose the medication by the active ingredient, NOT brand name.

• Avoid remedies with multiple ingredients. You may not need ALL the ingredients, and they can raise your risk of side effects.

• Ask your doctor about precautions if you have any chronic disease.

But miracles happen, (even for those explosive people dressed in super expensive suits).

For example: I do not consider it a miracle to walk on water. I think the real miracle is walking on earth.

Just like love at first sight… no miracle, but looking at the same person the rest of one’s life … Oh yes. (Translator: but I love looking at you — still after all these years, every day is like ‘love at first sight’)

There’s another thing that’s right on: miracles are like pimples on your face, when you start looking for them, you find more than you ever dreamed you had!

Every day we are engaged in miracles that we don’t even recognize. A blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, people with a color of skin different than ours. Everything is a miracle.

You for example, are something between a dream and a miracle.

And tomorrow, Monday, is another day… another miracle.

As for me, I can say only one thing:  nothing but miracles.

The editors of magazines and commercials are required, forced to say “what men want from women“, when in fact it is  what advertisers want from women: only our money.

• Did you notice that most lipsticks, for example, contain:

◊ methylparaben

◊ propylparaben

◊ retynil palmitate

◊ tocopheryl acetate

◊ Red 36 and D & C

ALL linked to cancer and other serious health problems?

And manufacturers of cosmetics still test these products on poor, innocent animals that have done nothing, anything wrong against any human being!

Why not test on themselves or on prisoners convicted of murder or rape?

Wouldn’t it be much more effective to see if it irritates their eyes instead of putting it in the eyes of a poor bunny to see if it hurts?

The ’joie de vivre’ and a healthy diet is the best cosmetic in my opinion.
