Who is "We"?

Prevent Swine Flu~Good Advice

Ginger Harper (Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:01:22 -0500

Information worth sharing...

Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).

The following message is given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know.

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected o ne. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4.. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*


5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know 20 who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it.

Prevent Strokes

Ginger Harper (Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:38:26 -0500

This is very touchy to me right now. I lost my Mother in law on Sunday, due to a stroke..

Maybe this note will save someone you know.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

Prevent Heart Attacks

Ginger Harper (Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:10:41 -0500

IMPORTANT READ..... Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep aspirin by your bedside? About Heart Attacks

There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.
One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards:
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by OR CALL 911!!!!
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins.
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and...
~ do NOT lie down ~
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!

I have already shared the information- - What about you?

This may help in knowing if you have the flu or the FLU!

Know The Symptoms of the H1N1 Flu and a Cold

THIS IS A KEEPER TO REFER TO. (Print it out and save it to refer to and pass it on to your friends)

H1N1 flu is about to be upon us and we need to be on top of information regarding it.

Here is a comparison of H1N1 to normal cold symptoms.

Symptom	Cold	H1N1 Flu
Fever	Fever is rare with a common cold.	Fever is usually present with the flu in up to 80% of all flu cases. A temperature of 100°F or higher for 3 to 4 days is associated with the flu.
Coughing	A hacking, productive (mucus- producing) cough is often present with a cold.	A non-productive (non-mucus producing) cough is usually present with the flu (sometimes referred to as dry cough).
Aches	Slight body aches and pains can be part of a cold.	Severe aches and pains are common with the flu.
Stuffy Nose	Stuffy nose is usually present with a cold and typically resolves spontaneously within about a week.	Stuffy nose is not commonly present with the flu.
Chills	Chills are uncommon with a cold.	60% of people who have the flu experience chills.
Tiredness	Tiredness is fairly mild with a cold.	Tiredness is moderate to severe with the flu.
Sneezing	Sneezing is commonly present with a cold.	Sneezing is not common with the flu.
Sudden Symptoms	Cold symptoms tend to develop over a few days.	The flu has a rapid onset within 3-6 hours. The flu hits hard and includes sudden symptoms like high fever, aches and pains.
Headache	A headache is fairly uncommon with a cold.	A headache is very common with the flu, and is present in 80% of flu cases.
Sore Throat	Sore throat is almost always present with a cold.	Sore throat is not commonly present with the flu.
Chest Discomfort	Chest discomfort is mild to moderate with a cold.	Chest discomfort is often severe with the flu.

The only way to stop the spread of the epidemic is to spread the awareness.

Going home today to see my husband and daughter and grandchildren. I have missed them so. I have been in Durham with my 92 year old Mother in law while she has been in the hospital for the past two weeks. She is getting somewhat better and I feel that I can take a break. Folks in Durham have been very good to work with ...Duke Hospital has some marvelous Doctors. Take care, Ginger of Southport NC

Gray Day in Durham

Ginger Harper (Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:41:12 -0500

It is a gray day in Durham but I feel Sunny inside. My Mother in Law is getting somewhat better from a stroke that she had on Tuesday. I have never been around a stroke victum before and am learning much about do's and don'ts. Have you had to deal with this in your life? It appears that the stroke has affected her speech and comprehension. We are learning what we need to do to help her come back as far as she can come. Take care, Ginger of Southport

We have been busy with a Mother that has had to be hospitalized at Duke Hospital. She has been a resident as Croasdaile Village Retirement Community. She helped to create this retirement community and felt that she had to come here and leave beautiful Southport North Carolina. She is now 92 and had been doing very well. We are much concerned with her health now. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Ginger of Southport

How do you become a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac listing agent?

Ginger Harper (Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:24:37 -0500

I have been going through websites and signing up to do BPO and REO. It seems like I may get one a week. But i need to list properties in the area that are being sold by Freddie or Fannie.

I do not know where to get in touch with them to sign up.

Do you know? and if you do...will you please point me in the right direction?

All help needed to begin this process.

Take care,

********************************************************************

Have you ever had short sale nightmares...

Think of al the things that can go wrong.

1. Seller declaring Bankruptcy with out telling you.

2. Sellers seperated and getting a divorce

3. A 2nd of the property that you did not know about

4. Sellers with no money at all.

5. Utilites cut off

6. Furniture and Food left in house (no electricity)

7. Bankruptcy Attorney working with one of the sellers....Closing Attorney with the other seller.

8. Closing Secretary..out sick with the flu

9. Buyer having to bring money to the table for the seller..

The list goes on and on. Committment from the 1st lein holder and the 2nd lein holder agree that

this can be done until Oct. 1....2009.

Still trying to pull it together.
