Mr. Abe's Goody Book is Southern Cooking at it's Best!!!
Topic: Health
Hello everyone!

I went to Kenny Sylvester's book signing today after seeing an article posted in the Mobile Press Register about his cook book.

When I got home, I read his cook book from cover to cover.

Kenny describes how to prepare his recipes the same way he talks.

I have known Kenny since early 1998. He always has a kind word to say and I've never known him to have a cross word about anyone.

I cannot wait to try out his recipes at our dinner table!

His book is full of anecdotes about his life and the food he recommends for heart-healthy nutrition.

I encourage anyone who enjoys the combination of authentic Southern Cooking and healthy eating to purchase his book today.

"Mr. Abe's Goody Book" will remain in my family's kitchen and will be the source of many heart-healthy meals.

I'm just not sure if the first recipe we prepare will be his gumbo or one of his many grilled specials.

If it is his "Get Together Gumbo" (for the whole neighborhood), I'll have to call and ask him how to reduce the ingredients to feed a smaller crowd.

His recipe calls for 2 gallons water, 2 whole roasting hens, 3 pounds crab claws, 2 quarts oysters, 3 pounds scallops, 6 pounds shrimp, among other delicious ingredients.

Gets your mouth watering doesn't it?

Like I said before: "buy his book today at Amazon.com!!!

Let me know what you think of his fabulous recipes.

Until next time... I am... and will always be... Frank

How many A.D.D. children are actually Lead Poisoned children?
Topic: Health
What percentage of children in the U.S. have been misdiagnosed to have Attention Deficit Disorder but have never been tested for lead poisoning?

Lead poisoning symptoms are:

Children have reading and learning difficulties, behavioral problems, difficulty paying attention and hyperactivity, seizures, coma and death.

Children can get lead poisoning by breathing or swallowing lead dust particles.

Homes built prior to 1978 are prone to contain lead paint which can crack and turn to dust.

Unborn children can be exposed by their pregnant mothers.

Adults can have a loss of sex drive, physical fatigue and/or high blood pressure.

To learn more, go to EPA web site.

Anyone selling or buying homes, renting or leasing homes (landlords and tenants) or remodeling homes (built in or before 1978) should get tested for lead poisoning.

Blood testing shows lead poisoning acquired within only 30 days.

A "ZPP" test is a better test for long term lead poisoning.

Our bodies can not distinguish lead from calcium nor iron. Lead is stored in our bones for up to 30 years.

Most doctors have only minimal training in identifying lead poisoning.
