Yuck! Eeeooww!

Hey Ya’ll,

I’m not knocking what anybody eats, but I'm done with even bacon and sandwich ham. It is (was) good, but you'll read what it does to the body when consumed.

I knew some of this, but not in the depth that this goes. Sometimes you just gotta be reminded about things like this.

The sickening part is pigs don't sweat and have an internal drainage system. 

Although there may be some exaggerations to these 13 things, surely there's a lot of truth to them.

13 PROBLEMS WITH PORK

 1.) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

 2.) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

3.) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.

4.) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.

5.) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.

6.) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.

7.) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

8.) Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts, and eggs will be killed.

9.) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

10.) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine's one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

11.) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. 

12.) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.

13.) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

Have you reached a defining moment in your diet and well-being?

Hope so. Take care and be well.

Waaayyyy Too Much

If I set about 150 lbs of sugar in front of you in all the forms that it comes in and told you, you'd consumed it in a 365-day period, would you believe me? I wouldn't believe me, but it's highly likely that's about how much you'll consume over the next 365 days. Scary, isn't it? Real scary!

It's been said that medical scientists want to declare sugar as a toxin. They'll get my vote. The average sugar consumption was about 8 lbs a year in the 1700s.

Need I say more? Let's all do a better job of diligently reducing our sugar intake year in and year out. We just might find ourselves not ailing as much and much less visits to the doctor's office.

Take care and all the best in your striving to stay well.

Can't Figure It Out Or Find It?

Greetings! 

I know. Long time no hear or here. 

All is good. Been looking way ahead and laying out my plans after my tenure in Afghanistan. I'm looking to do great things. My zest for life is a passion. My mind twirls at a fast pace more often than not--always applying the sensibility, discretion, and rationale factor to better my life, yet regularly expressing thanks to the Man Above known as God. 

My ultimate desire is to turn the international Art Collection into a global conglomerate, at the same time, have fun doing it as a step in the right direction to make it something people find compelling, convincing, and impressive. I read on-line the other day that nations can fund a war, but can't or don't care to fund world hunger or all the other real bad things that our world is faced with day to day. That's just not right, if you ask me.

Anyway, sort of got off track there. 

Lastly, I don't know everything about everything, but I DO know a few things about quite a few things. I don't think I've mentioned that I read, The Purpose Driven Life. It's a very good book and although I won't exactly abide by what I learned from the book, it indeed provided some insight about my life and its purpose.

Can't figure it out or find it on-line in the aspect of getting on the right track and making your life better? Shout at me; theintlartcollection@gmail.com. Without making any promises or guarantees, I'll do my best in helping.

I can't say when I'll be back, but keep your head up as you believe and look forward. In the meantime, love and be kind, because love works better and being kind never looses.  

As always, all the best in all your tomorrows!

Until later...

Good Tips From www.LifeTips.com

How have you been? Good I hope.

As a tweeter, @LifeTipsEasy has been tweeting me some good stuff. Said I'd take a few minutes to share the more worthwhile ones:
If you can’ t send an Excel file because it’s too big, save it as .xlsb. This will shrink the size.

Eating both strawberries and blueberries protects your brain from aging.

To see if batteries are good, drop them on the floor. If they bounce once, they're good. If they bounce more than once they're empty.

Get unlimited skips for Pandora by opening an incognito tab.

If you put your fingers in ice water immediately after painting your nails the paint will dry instantly.

Society needs both optimists and pessimists. For example, an optimist invented the airplane while a pessimist invented the parachute.

Do something instead of killing time, because time is killing you.

If you're ever feeling upset; just exercise. You'll feel 100 times better.

Drinking a cold glass of water in the morning will wake you faster than a cup of coffee.

You can shrink a pimple in minutes by putting a dab of Listerine on it. The alcohol will dry it up and cause it to fade.

Spiders hate peppermint oil. Put some in a squirt bottle + water and spray your garage and all door frames.

Lay on your left side and rub your stomach in clockwise circles if you have a stomach ache.

When meeting someone for the 1st time, ask them what they LIKE to do, rather than what they do. It'll get them excited & spark conversation!

Taking notes on the computer? Use a weird font. Studies have shown the uniqueness will make you more likely to remember them!

Shoes smell like crap? Use dryer sheets as an incredibly effective shoe deodorizer.

No matter what your beliefs, if someone wishes you a Merry Christmas, the polite thing to do is say, "thank you."

If you accidentally close a tab, you can bring it back up by holding Control+Shift+Pressing the T button. (On Mac: cmd + shift + T)

Putting vodka on your face reduces the chance of acne breakouts by tightening your pores.

"There is no remedy for love but to love more." -Henry David Thoreau, author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, philosopher, transcendentalist.

If your car is about to get towed, get in it. Tow trucks are forced to stop to avoid kidnapping charges.

If you drop an earring, ring, or small screw simply turn off the lights and look with a flashlight. They'll light right up.

If a girl talks to you about a movie she wants to watch, chances are it's a hint that she wants you to ask her out.

At a restaurant? Wash your hands after ordering. The menu is generally the dirtiest thing you can touch!

Here's another nice jazz cut I think you'll like:

Good Things To Know

Greetings To My Readers & Followers,

If you didn't know, I tweet. 2 days ago I discovered I am being followed by @LifeTipsEasy. I checked them out and discovered them to be very worthwhile. I've learned a thing or 3 already and suddenly realize that their site is somewhat associated with my ideas, feelings, and thoughts. I now follow them and will frequent their website and may become a member. 

Check 'em out when you get some free time. If you feel like you don't have it together or things about your life aren't on track, then know it's never too late to turn things around. As always, well wishes in all your tomorrows.

For the jazz enthusiasts reading this blog, here's another nice, smooth, rhythmic cut I'll think you'll like:

Experience Versus Knowing

I'm still here. 

You see that I have a passion for music--the kind that gets inside of you and makes you sway, even if it's in a small kind of way. Music that makes me say, That's real niiccce...

Pull up Kirk Whalum's Anytime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3erAiybGu2c

 If it gets any nicer than this, then please hit me up and let me know.

While away, I applied for an assistant coach's job in the NBA. Sometimes in life you just gotta go for it. What's the worst they can reply with? No. I can handle that, but if they only knew me like I know me in spite of having no experience higher than the playground, Army intramural, and high school basketball team level, at least one NBA team owner would give me a chance.

Fans want to see their team win. Winning electrifies. Winning thrills. Winning fills empty seats. 

Is the line thin or thick between experience and that experience translating into more than never making the playoffs and always being a low ranking team? I wonder.

If some of the owners don't know, they'd best ask somebody. I KNOW I can make a profound difference in the outcome of an 82-game season.

Until next time... shout at me when you get a minute.

Smelling Good Speaks For Itself


Smelling good all the time speaks for itself. I should know. I’m that guy who puts cut-up bits of real lemons in his body wash along with a small amount of his favorite oil colognes mixed in there real nicely. Well, I don’t mix ALL my favorite oil colognes in my body wash at one time, but surely you get the point. Giggles>>>>! On occasions, I even consume a proven internal deodorant found in GNC, General Nutrition Center.

I will admit right from the start, that I’ve been guilty of wearing too much of the concentrated oil, KNOWING it’s too much. Lately, I’ve learned not to do that. As good as any one of my favorite cologne smells, putting on too much can be a total turn off, no matter how well I’m dressed. To my wife. My bad. I’ll keep in mind that after that first dime sized dab in the palm of my hand and mixed with a few drops of water and rubbed on my lower cheeks and neck area, despite me not smelling it, is enough.

If you didn’t know, there’s this thing called sillage: the scent left behind by perfume or cologne, usually after the subject has passed. If I may add to that urban dictionary definition—sillage is also too loud or too much even in the presence of another.

Although I can afford the cost of the fancy bottles of any cologne or perfume, I often choose not to buy them. Just like other manufactured or produced consumer goods in raw forms having other additives, then sold at a MUCH higher percentage in mark up, so are colognes and perfumes in the oil form.

I’m not knocking the market of oil fragrances mixed with water and alcohol in a fancy bottle and sold across the globe at a much higher price. It IS a free world and a free enterprise we live in. If I like the bottle, I don’t think twice about not buying the cologne, or even if a loved one presents me with a bottle of cologne as a gift, I’ll thankfully accept it, but quite often I prefer the low cost vials of oil cologne and perfumes. They last longer. A little dab will do you well for a longer period of time.

Here’s 4 of my favorites that I’m often complimented on and have suggested to some of my true friends who liked them as well. As a reader of my blogs, you already realize that what smells good on me and I’m complimented on, may not smell good on you:

Obsession Night, Chanel Bleu, YSL’s La Nuit de L’Homme, Issey Miyake Intense

For my readers who want to try one or more of their favorite colognes or perfumes in oil form at a cost MUCH lower than the fancy bottle, contact Leslie Clark, jordamlon@hotmail.com  Please enter, Infinity Oils, in the subject line. She has a highly reputable on-line business that carries quite a long list of smell goods for men and women. Surely she has your favorites. I buy from her quite often and I’m always satisfied with her service and products. Mention you read my blog. Appreciated!


Until next time… smell good. It's a good thing, but don't overdo it.

Giggles>>>>>!
