Last year I taught my daughter Lily the tedious process of soap making. Early in our lessons I stressed that if she didn't understand the chemistry, she'd never be able to solve the inevitable problems that would arise in the soap lab. Instead, she'd be forced to accept the problem as a failure.
Failure isn't an option. And just this weekend, that lesson served useful. Making a masterbatch for her new business, her lye solution failed.
She knew it because there was no excessive heat, which is what she has learned to expect from mixing an acid with a base. Rather than make a new batch of lye, she thought about the chemistry. By adding her sodium hydroxide too fast, it formed a crust and shielded itself from the relatively acidic mixture. No reaction, no heat. The solution was simple. Instead of waste the lye and start over (thus losing money), just start scraping. Bam...The heat came on like a warm campfire. It was time to make soap! (see pics at www.carefreesoaps.com)
Chemistry has always been my compass for solving problems in and out of the lab. And this is one of the most valuable things I can pass on to my kids as well as my readers. I've used it for curing a hangover, insomnia and even stopping unruly blood clots.
Blood clots are no mystery. They're the result of a chemical cascade by which a compound known as fibrinogen is converted into fibrin. This gives rise to a scaffolding-like structure that halts blood flow.
When we bleed, the elastic, fibrin molecules gather and thicken near a wound. The entire process is mandatory for healing. But in excess, blood clots cause heart attack and stroke for their ability to halt blood flow all together.
The pharmaceutical industry attempts to curb the threat of excess blood clots with blood thinners like aspirin, plavix and coumadin. In an emergency situation, these drugs have immense value. But, if using daily, side effects are likely and gruesome. In fact, side effects from prescription blood thinners are the leading cause of hospitalization today!
Instead of swallowing risky drugs everyday, it's wiser to understand what causes blood to thicken excessively...and they are:
- Dehydration
- High triglycerides
- Increased sugar levels
- And inflammation giving rise to compounds known as cytokines
Therefore, the best way to ensure healthy blood is to drink plenty of purified water or spring water, avoid sugar and excess fruits and take part in weight training to keep inflammation down.
In place of risky blood thinners, and outside of an emergency situation, you can also avoid dangerous blood clots with the natural medicine, Cardio FX. It's an incredibly simple way to preserve blood viscosity. It's powerful healing effect comes from compounds known technically as proanthocyanidins, flavonoids and catechins. You could think of them as "healthy blood insurance." They work day and night to keep excess blood clots away. And better than any drug, they still allow for clotting when needed. That means NO SIDE EFFECTS like internal bleeding!
In fact, Harvard University published their findings on these natural compounds to report that when compared to 5,000 other naturally occurring compounds, flavonoids were at the top of the list when it came to lifesaving anti-clot properties that can "help prevent heart attack and stroke."
A user of Cardio FX recently experienced these benefits and was able to measure and monitor its' success!
Here's his story:
"I found the Peoples Chemist through my wife who is a long term friend of one of the staff at TPC. Like anything, I was skeptical. But I had some health concerns due to excessive blood clots"
"I had suffered from Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in 2003 after surgery and another last year after falling asleep for 9 hours on a long haul flight from England."
"I started using Cardio FX and followed "The Stop Eating So F@#$ing Much Diet."
"I started feeling great in a short while, surprisingly."
"The real acid test came in April. My wife had found a nutritionist for my daughter who had been wrongly diagnosed with asthma (was actually food allergies). Because he had done a good job with her I went along as he does his work from looking at blood under a microscope. When he looked at my blood sample he was amazed - my blood and circulation looked excellent, better than a normal person and not how it should look after 2 episodes of serious clotting!"
"Note the Dr's could find no underlying medical condition for the clotting but their solution was to put me on a dangerous blood thinner for life. Just a simple paper cut could put you in the ER from suing these drugs! As a man of action, this was unacceptable! I was not going on meds forever!"
"Thanks to Shane, Cardio FX and his program I can live a normal life!"
S.E.
Nobody should be held back by a lifetime of servitude that comes with daily prescription drug use. You are better than that!
