Whenever you buy any canned soft drink, please make sure that you wash the
top with running water and soap or, if that is not available, drink with a straw.
The investigation of soda cans by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta
discovered that the tops of soda cans can be encrusted with dried ratís urine,
which is so toxic it can be lethal. Canned drinks and other foodstuffs are stored
in warehouses and containers that are usually infested with rodents, and then
they get transported to retail outlets without being properly cleaned.

Treatment Study :Patients with viral encephalitis from ages 1 yr. to 11 yrs. were
treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The treated group consisted of 47 patients,
28 male and 19 female. The control group consisted of 45 patients, 24 male and
21 female. Viral encephalitis presents a model for the inflammation that may be
part of autism. Studies such as this provide a basis for the use of hyperbaric
oxygen therapy for autism. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was provided at 1.8 atm
for 80 minutes daily for 10 days in a pure oxygen monoplace unit. The control
group received supportive therapy with appropriate drugs.

Are you looking for a way to trim your health-care costs, reduce your federal income tax

liability and potentially save more for your future?
As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug legislation signed into law in 2003, you may now
be able to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) which, when used in conjunction with a

high deductible health plan (HDHP), helps individuals save for qualified medical and retiree health

expenses on a tax-free basis.
Anyone may contribute to an HSA on behalf of an eligible individual – you, your employer or

anyone. Your contributions and the contributions of others are tax deductible and, if your employer
chooses to contribute, those contributions will be deductible by your employer and not included in

All earnings in an HSA are tax deferred and distributions are tax free if used for qualified

medical expenses, including long-term care premiums. This allows you the opportunity to pay for
your medical expenses with pre-tax dollars. In addition, any unused HSA funds may be withdrawn
after you turn age 65 with no penalty; the funds will be taxed as ordinary income.
2 Tbsp.canola or sesame oil
HSAs are portable, with rollover provisions, allowing you the opportunity to move funds from
one HSA to another. If you obtained an HSA through your employer and change jobs, you can roll
2 cups carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
over your HSA into a new HSA and take the funds with you.
HSAs are important, particularly for those who are under or uninsured, small business owners

or anyone facing the challenge of affording quality health insurance coverage. But the advantages
don’t stop there; even if you’re adequately insured, but want to reduce the cost for health care,
HSAs may apply to you as well. Talk with your insurance agent for more information on HSAs.
