FACTS ON HONEY AND CINNAMON

It is found that mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most of the diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.

Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not  harm diabetic patients.

Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists.

HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, chappati, or other bread, instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who already had an attack, if they do this process daily, are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalizes the arteries and veins.
   
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it.  It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon  powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day,  any chronic cholesterol is cured. As per information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
  
COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

Plymouth revisited under new rules of engagement!

Indian history is gaining space with Pilgrim myth in the Massachusetts community that calls itself America's "hometown."

Plymouth, a seaside town 50 miles south of Boston, prides itself as the place where English pilgrims arrived aboard the vessel Mayflower in 1620, established a colony, befriended the indigenous natives and had them over for a feast in 1621.

As taught to generations of schoolchildren, that feast became the basis for the holiday almost universally celebrated throughout the United States in November as Thanksgiving.

The problem, according to Native American historians, is that it's just part of a quilt of many myths woven by the descendants of those early English voyagers who settled in what is now southern New England and drove some tribes to near extinction.

Now, some 381 years later, Plymouth continues to be a focal point of disagreement and animosity pitting the white European-based establishment against the descendants of the local natives.

It is an age-old story of invasion and conquest, where the victors get to write the history and the viewpoint of the vanquished is minimized.

For one thing, despite what is widely taught, those early colonists fleeing religious persecution in their native England did not initially refer to themselves as Pilgrims -- 44 called themselves "Saints" and 66 were referred to by the "Saints" as "strangers." The label "Pilgrims" came into being after the voyagers joined in signing the Mayflower Compact.

The natives who had occupied the land for thousands of years didn't call themselves Indians, or even Native Americans. They were, simply, the People.

The People in this case was the Wampanoag, a tribal name translated as the "People of the Dawn" or the "People of the First Light" because they lived in the east and were the first to see the sun rise each day. The Wampanoag are also sometimes now simply known as "The Indians who met the Pilgrims."

The story of the Plymouth Colony is told at the living history museum, Plimoth Plantation, which uses the original spelling of the word Plymouth. The museum is a recreation of the colonial village as it existed in 1627, and character actors portray various English settlers, and talk with visitors about events leading up to 1627, but know nothing of events beyond that year.

For a half century, the museum told the story of the colony from the viewpoint of the Pilgrims. Traditional Thanksgiving images showed large numbers of Pilgrims and few natives, failing to reflect realities of native history and ignoring the persecution of the Wampanoag.

In truth, according to the only written record of the event, a letter by Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow, 90 natives lead by the sachem, or leader, Massasoit, participated in the harvest feast with some 45 Pilgrims who had survived their first brutal winter.

It took the museum years to revise the myth that became an icon of American holidays, and Indian leaders generally were pleased with the attempt at greater accuracy.

Linda Coombs, a Wampanoag and native expert at the museum, called the attempt "gratifying" but added that while some people are recognizing that what they've been taught is not true, there are some who "still don't want to hear it."

The Wampanoag of today are politically motivated and keenly interested in cultural preservation. Their pressure over recent decades finally motivated the museum in recent years to establish a special exhibit that includes the viewpoint of the Native Peoples. The exhibit, called "Irreconcilable Differences 1620-1692," traces the history of Plymouth Colony from the landing of the Mayflower and covers the major points of interaction between the colonists and the Native Peoples.

Many white historians had considered the Wampanoag to be extinct, the demise the result of the bloodiest war in New England, known as King Philip's War, from 1675 to 1676. Although their culture was nearly lost, the Wampanoag tribe was revitalized and reasserted itself in the 1960s and 1970s. Members of the tribe as it is now constituted insist their genealogies prove its culture "did not disappear." In 1987, it became the first federally recognized tribe in Massachusetts.

Anthony E. Pollard, an activist historian at Plimoth Plantation, and known by his Wampanoag name as Nanepashemet, wrote before he died in 1995 that the Wampanoag have proved by being a dynamic culture they will continue to exist despite continued challenges to their traditions and values.

The town of Plymouth draws thousands of tourists each year primarily because of its historical ties to the Pilgrims and the 1621 feast that became the core of the myth so ingrained in America's sense of national
identity. The Wampanoag regret many non-native people still believe the myth.

It was Plymouth's annual Thanksgiving Day celebration in 1970 that brought the cultural conflict into the national spotlight. Local planners sought out a Wampanoag to deliver a speech at a state dinner celebrating the 350th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing. They asked Wamsutta Frank James to speak
in praise of the white man for bringing civilization to "us poor heathens," according to Moonanum James, a co-leader of United American Indians of New England.

When event organizers read in advance what Wamsutta intended to say, they denied him the right to speak because his remarks did not fit the state's need to keep the Pilgrim mythology alive. Wamsutta refused to give a speech written for him by the state "that would keep the lies alive," said Moonanum
James.

Instead, native people from throughout the Americas came to Plymouth to mourn ancestors sold into slavery, burned alive, massacred, cheated and mistreated since the arrival of the Pilgrims. The natives call the gathering the National Day of Mourning.

At the 30th National Day of Mourning on Nov. 25, 1999, Moonanum James complained native peoples were not welcomed in Plymouth because "those who do not want the truth to come out have tried many times and in many ways to silence us."

"They wanted to keep the Pilgrim mythology alive," Moonanum James said. "They needed to keep the truth buried."

He said what was in Wamsutta's speech that so upset officials was that the reason the nation's focus was put on the Pilgrims and not the earlier English-speaking colony in Jamestown, Va., is that in Jamestown "the circumstances were way too ugly to hold up as an effective national myth," such as cannibalism on the part of the white settlers.

Wamsutta also planned to say the Pilgrims did not call themselves pilgrims, did not come here seeking religious freedom but, rather, as part of a commercial venture and they did not actually land at what is now called Plymouth Rock, derided by natives as a monument to racism and oppression.

The only truth in the whole mythology, according to Wamsutta, is that "these pitiful European strangers would not have survived their first several years in 'New England' were it not for the aid of Wampanoag people."

The annual National Day of Mourning turned ugly on Nov. 28, 1997, when police confronted a group of from 100 to 200 Indians trying to march through the historic district of Plymouth. Witnesses said police beat and gassed the group, arresting about 25 on charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly.

Earlier in the day a group of historical re-enactors dressed as Pilgrims had marched through the same area to commemorate the first Thanksgiving without incident. Indian demonstrators argued without success that they had the same right to freedom of speech.

United American Indians of New England said the most sickening part of what happened is that the police attack was executed simply to protect the sacred image of the Pilgrims and the sacred image of Plymouth as a tourist shrine. The police assault was planned and carried out simply to protect the
tourist industry in Plymouth, the native activists said.

The confrontation did have positive results. Two years later, under an agreement with town officials, two plaques articulating the Indian view of Thanksgiving were dedicated by the Indians, one on Cole's Hill near the statue of Massasoit, and one in the town's Post Office square.

The Cole's Hill plaque reads in part: "Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture."

The Post Office square plaque tells the story of Metacomet, the son of Massasoit, who became known to the English as King Philip. Massasoit was the first and staunchest ally of the settlers for 40 years until his death in 1661. When Philip became the tribal leader in 1662, he initially honored treaties made by his father with Plymouth Colony. Philip, however, later called upon native people to unite to defend their homelands, resulting in King Philip's war. The bloody conflict lasted from 1675 to 1676 when Philip was murdered and his head impaled on a pike and displayed near the town square.

With the end of the war, resistance to further colonial settlements in southern New England basically ended and the native tribes came under complete control of the colonists.

The struggle continues today, however, as Moonanum James said, to free the land "from the lies of the history books, the profiteers, and the mythmakers."

Indian Wisdom............

  
Two Eagles, an old Indian chief, sat in his hut on the reservation smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two US government officials sent to interview  him.

One US official said to Chief Two Eagles, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances.

 

You've seen his progress, and the damage he has done."  The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the two government officials for over a minute, and then he calmly replied:
 

"When white man found the land, Indians were running it.  No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Women did all the work, Medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, All night having sex."

Then the chief leaned back and smiled before he added,
"Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

 

Fighting Terrorism Since 1492

The Stupidity Continues!!!

The Canadian Government has suggested that Radical Native Americans, such as the Mohawk Warrior Society, be included in the Canadian Armed Forces Counterinsurgency Manual as a potential military opponent, lumping aboriginals in with the Tamil Tigers, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad! This is basically a answer to the 1990 Oka crisis in Quebec, where the Mohawks, united to stop the Canadians from building on Sacred Burial Grounds of the Mohawk. The International community condemmed the Canadian Government for their actions against the Sovereign Mohawk Nation, and since that time the Canadian government has walked on egg shells, when dealing with the Mohawk Nation. To suggest that the Mohawk are terrorists is simple bullshit. But if the Canadian government is successful in including the Mohawk's as terrorists, then it'll be easier for them to take military action against the Mohawk at anytime deemed necessary! A Mohawk friend of mine, Chief Thomas Wounded Bear of Somerset, Massachusetts, was refused entry into Canada to visit relatives, this year,because he was Mohawk! Chief Wounded Bear is a American Citizen, had his American passport in hand, his current government registration card as a Mohawk and is a decorated military veteran! But, he was denied entry into Canada, because he was Mohawk! I too have native family in Canada. Will I be denied access to visiting my relatives at the Mohawk Kahnawake Reserve, south of Montreal ?  By all means, this story will continue as the Canadian government takes action on their proposal to include the Mohawk on their military terrorists list. Hopefully, the Canadian Parliment will see the stupidity of this motion and deny the military their request!  I promise more on this subject as it develops!

It's A Miracle We Survived!

Congratulations to all the kids who were born in the 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.  Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun.

We drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle.   We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.  We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because -- We were always playing outside!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no  99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms --  We had friends and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.  They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.  We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all!

If YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS

Pillsbury Doughboy Dies.........

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, The Keebler Elves, the California Raisins,Uncle Ben, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Count Choucla,Franken Berry, Boo Berry and Captain Crunch.

The gravesite was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still, was a crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had
one in the oven. He is also survived by this elderly dad, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Dear ABBY!

 

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job five years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and bull shit with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills.  Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?  Signed: Clueless

 

Dear Clueless:

 

Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. For crying out loud, you don't need him anymore. You're a United States Senator from New York.  Act like one.
