The Dangers Of Kissing And Aspartame

1 Comment

The Diet Coke Of Relationships Things My Ex Said

What do you do when Western medicine fails to heal what ails you? 

Mitzi Mensch knows only too well what happens once doctors have exhausted their bag of tricks.  Through her writing, Mensch hopes to raise awareness of the dangers of Aspartame, challenge doctors to find answers – not simply mask symptoms – and to bring out the hopeless romantic in her readers.

Healthcare has turned into a multi-trillion dollar industry as patients around the globe are herded into doctor’s offices, only to leave with prescriptions in-hand for brightly colored pills.  But what happens when the pills don’t work and the doctor is out of ideas of how to treat your symptoms?  Mitzi Mensch knows first-hand the challenges this presents and has written about her experience in The Dangers of Kissing and Diet Coke:  What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know and Won’t Bother to Find Out, a neurological nightmare juxtaposed with a riveting love story.

This medical mystery has Mitzi playing dual roles of patient and detective all while embroiled in an intense affair with her long lost first love.

There was the “Go to Psych” doctor, the “We’re out of time doctor”, the “No, next” doctor.  Physicians pushed pills which turned her into an emotional zombie and didn’t work.  Alternative practitioners practiced protocols and provided potions which didn’t work.  As Mitzi muddled through the morass she searched for anything that claimed to cure pain, calm nerves, create somnolence.

Still her headache raged on, her tics escalated, she didn’t sleep.

Mitzi was determined to find out what was wrong and fix it. And then there is the power of first love, potent and compelling.  The Internet has made it so very easy for people separated by years and distance to rekindle what was long ago left smoldering.  But should they?  Much more than a self-help book, The Dangers of Kissing and Diet Coke sizzles, allowing the reader to voyeuristically experience an affair from the perspective of the ‘other woman.’

Yeah we know...it's an ugly picture- but so is Aspartame! Take that irony! CP

Mensch would like to help people through her writing.  “Even if one person’s health is saved by eliminating Aspartame, or one person is cured of constant headache, or one doctor will look beyond the obvious – my words will have meant something.  One thing I would like for readers to take away from this book is to be your own advocate when you get sick.  As for lovers who love down through the decades, sometimes it works.  They are the lucky ones. ”

Mitzi Mensch was born and raised in New England and attended college in Vermont.  An island girl at heart, she lives in Hawaii. Available on Amazon.com, AuthorHouse.com and local bookstores.

The Benefits Of CBD Oil On Anxiety And Depression

1 Comment

Life certainly has its challenges. Stress can arise from work, friends, and relationships — daily life can feel overwhelming at times. When you suffer from anxiety or depression (or both), living a happy, stress-free life can sometimes feel nearly impossible.

Perhaps you’re looking for a natural way to take the edge off. There are pharmaceutical anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications out there, but long-term use can be negative on the body and many benzodiazepines contain addictive qualities that you might want to avoid.

Instead of pills, consider using an alternative and natural method. Recreational cannabidioil, better known as CBD oil, is one of over 100 chemical compounds known cannabinoids found in the cannabis or marijuana plant.

CBD does not contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive component found in the plant (so it doesn’t make you high), and research has found that it can be calming and alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety.

The socially conscious cannabis brand Blissed is a company that believes in offering the authentic cannabis experience to individuals who need a break. It’s based entirely on the power of wellness and community, and they’re committed to giving 10% of all profits to organizations and causes that make a positive impact on society.

The company products using cannabis, including those made from CBD oil, as well as 1:1 oils for those looking to ease into using THC.

Take a look at how using CBD oil recreationally can help reduce your anxiety symptoms.

What Exactly Is CBD Oil?

CBD is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients in the cannabis plant. It’s an essential component of medical marijuana, however, it’s derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the actual marijuana plant. While CBD is a component of marijuana, it doesn’t produce a “high” feeling on its own.

According to a recent study conducted by the World Health Organization, humans don’t show signs of negative effects or dependence when using CBD oil. To date, there has been no evidence of public health-related issues associated with the use of pure CBD.

Relief from Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression are common mental health disorders that can feel debilitating. We all have various stressors in our lives, and we all handle things differently. Sometimes we just want a little reprieve — a pause where we can sit down at the end of a long day, chill out, and show ourselves some love and compassion.

Of course, there are pharmaceutical drugs to take but these are often not a sustainable long-term method. There can be harmful side effects such as drowsiness, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, addiction, and more.

CBD oil has shown strong promise as a treatment for both depression and anxiety, leading many who live with these afflictions to become interested in this natural approach to coping with anxiety and depression.

It amps up dopamine and serotonin levels naturally, so you can enjoy feeling good without having to worry about the comedown as you would from other types of chemical drugs or alcohol.

A study from 2010 concluded that CBD oil could reduce the symptoms of social anxiety disorders (SADs). Brain scans of participants revealed changes in blood flow to the area of the brain that are linked to feelings of anxiety.

In this particular study, CBD oil made participants feel significantly better and it also changed the way their brands responded to anxiety.

At the end of a long day, what could be better than putting your feet up, opening up Netflix, and unwinding with a little CBD oil?

Treat yourself to a blissful, relaxing evening and look into how CBD oil could benefit your life today.

Now Available In Ontario- IF You Can Find It- ‘Environment Friendly’ Boxed Water

2 Comments

Legacy Boxed Water SinglesWater. It covers the vast majority of the earth’s surface. Likewise, water also comprises the bulk of the human body. The Earth and humans are each as dependent on the existence of water as the other. The earth’s environment graciously provides human beings with water, our most vital means of survival. It is our responsibility to reciprocate such generosity with the compassion we would show for our dearest friend.

Every year, about 50 billion plastic bottles of water are consumed throughout the globe. A whopping 30 billion of which are downed in the United States alone (amounting to about 60 % of the earth’s bottled water consumption) And 80 % of those plastic bottles end up in a landfill wherein the plastic breaks down into smaller fragments that absorb toxins and corrupt waterways, pollute soil and poison animals.

Even the manufacturing of bottled water is an environmental hazard. A single plastic bottle of water requires three times the volume of the water it takes to merely fill that bottle. And most of that water is rendered useless as a result of the chemicals utilized in the production of the plastic bottle. Without question, a more eco-friendly source of water delivery is an absolute necessity to the conservation of our planets resources. And now that solution has arrived in Canada. Boxed Water is an environmentally friendly and conscious brand and the answer to the drastic environmental cost extracted by the excessive consumption of plastic bottled water.

Boxed Water is new to the Canadian market and is distributed throughout the nation by RM Fresh Brands, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Ventures International Inc.(OTCQB:LGYV) Boxed Water is already making waves amongst consumers who love the product for being so eco-friendly and delicious. It is a fresh approach to remedying the environmental nightmares associated with the ubiquitous plastic water bottle.

Instead of plastic bottles, Boxed Water is packaged in a biodegradable box that’s reminiscent of a milk carton. The box is also key to the product’s brand identity. Carrying a simple message of ‘Boxed Water is Better’, this inconspicuous packaging effortlessly explains the concept of Boxed Water while attracting the attention of ecologically-aware consumers.

Benefits of Boxed Water:

(a) BPA/BPS FREE: All Boxed Water cartons are BPA/BPS free, which has been suggested as one of the leading causes of certain cancers.

(b) PACKAGING: 76 per cent of the Boxed Water packing is made from of trees, a renewable resource which renders the product a significantly more sustainable delivery source than the ecologically eradicating plastic bottle.

(c) FILTRATION: The water we drink should be healthy and refreshing. Boxed Waters 5 step filtration system process delivers pure hydration to help get the most out of life. Boxed Water is purified with UV, Carbon and reverse osmosis filtration. It is also free from chromium, arsenic, MBTE, chlorine, fluoride and trace pharmaceuticals.

(d) CONSERVATION: The trees used in Boxed Water come from Well Managed Forests.

(e) SHIPPING-WASTE LESS: Additionally, Boxed Water is shipped flat to the filler, lowering our carbon footprint which is much more efficient than shipping empty and glass bottles to be filled. Studies indicate that shipping accounts for 2.1 percent of annual global C02 and that number could increase up to 250 % by 2050. For one truck’s worth of bottled water,

Boxed Water can deliver 26 trucks’ worth of cartoned water. Boxed Water sends its cartons to its filling plants empty. A single pallet can hold some 35,000 empty, flat-packed Boxed Water cartons. Only after they’re shipped to the filling station are the cartons filled. At the plant, one truck’s worth of empty cartons can be filled to supply the 26 trucks. The space-savings ratio may be even more favorable when comparing the rectangular, easily stacked cartons with their rounded, pre-formed plastic water bottle counterparts.

(f) RESPONSIBILITY: Boxed Water donates at least 1 % of revenue annually to restoration and world water relief through partnerships with The National Forest Foundation and Water.org.

(g) RECYCLING Boxed Waters boxes are 100% recyclable at participating facilities (recyclecartons.com)

GIVING BACK: Boxed Water lessens the environmental impact and also gives back in a big way. During 2015, Boxed Water partnered with National Forest Foundation (NFF) to plant one million trees by 2020. This represents the largest single tree-planting commitment to date for the NFF and marked the start of a five year effort to plant trees in areas of our National Forests with highest ecological significance.

In recent months, Legacy Ventures International Inc. has showcased Boxed Water at major events such as the Toronto Film Festival and Holt Renfrew’s Holiday Kick Off. These partnerships, in combination with Boxed Water’s straightforward packaging, are expected to play a key role in getting the word out about the product by getting it into the hands of celebrities and other influencers.

Legacy Boxed Water PosterBoxed Water represents an opportunity for Legacy to disrupt the Canadian bottled water industry with an eco-friendly, easy-to-ship, deceptively simple solution. As the company continues to identify and target additional disruptive brands in both domestic and international markets, Boxed Water represents the first step in a long term strategic plan to maximize shareholder value for the foreseeable future.

The brand has also caught the attention of non-traditional retailers including Ripley’s Aquarium and the Canadian Museum of Nature, who choose to exclusively carry Boxed Water as the only water available to the thousands of visitors who pass through their doors every year. More locations both national and local are signing up by the week to carry the brand and choosing this eco-friendly and healthier solution over traditional bottled water brands.
