   IMPORTANT CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PLEASE READ

   Cancer News
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.
 
1. No plastic containers in microwave.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

 3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as
well.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.   Dioxin
chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases
dioxins  from the plastic.

Recently, Dr.. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program
 Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health
hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.

He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using
plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases
dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.

Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or
ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only
without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and
soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in
something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.
It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.

He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants
moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one
of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as
dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the
food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt
out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.

Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Topic: Rapists New Scheme

-I'm sending on this message which   was forwarded to me - frightening to 
contemplate. Please read & pass it along!!!

Something very serious to pay attention to. Criminals are coming up with
craftier, less threatening methods of attack, so we have to be extra
cautious. Read on... I live in Staten Island, NY but I often work in
Rahway,  NJ, staying with friends when I'm there. As you know from
America's Most  Wanted TV program, as well as the news media, there was a
serial killer in the  Rahway area. I just want to let you know about an
"incident" that happened to me a  few weeks ago, and could have been
deadly.
At first I didn't go to the police or anyone with it because I didn't
realize  how serious this encounter was. But since I work in a jail and I
told a few  people about it, it wasn't long before I was paraded into
Internal Affairs to  tell them my story.
It was approximately 5:15 a.m. in Perth Amboy, NJ. I had stayed with a
friend  there and was on my way to work. I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie
station to  get gas. I got $10 gas and a Diet Coke. I took into the store
two $5 bills and  one $1 bill ( just enough to get my stuff )

As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the back
side of the store (an unlit area). He was an "approachable-looking" man
(clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.).
He walked up to my window and knocked. Since I'm very paranoid and "always
 looking for the rapist or killer," I didn't open the window I just asked
what he  wanted. He raised a $5 bill to my window and said, "You just
dropped this.."  Since I knew I had gone into the store with a certain
amount of money, I knew  I didn't drop it.
 When I told him it wasn't mine, he began hitting the window and door,
screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that I had dropped the money!
At that point, I just drove away as fast as I could. After talking to the
Internal Affairs Department and describing the man I saw, and the way he
escalated from calm and polite to angry and volatile ... It was determined
that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer myself.
Up to this point, it had been unclear as to how he had gained access to
his   victims, since there has been no evidence of forced entry into
victim's homes, cars, etc. And the fact that he has been attacking in the
daytime, when women are less likely to have their guard up, means he is
pretty Bold.

So think about it...what gesture is nicer than returning money to someone
that dropped it?

How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your
money   and say thank you ... because if the person is kind enough to
return something to you, then he can't really be a threat ... can he?
Please be cautious! This might not have been the serial killer .. but
anyone that gets that angry over someone not accepting money from them, 
can't have honorable intentions.

The most important thing to note is that his reaction was NOT WHAT I 
EXPECTED! A total surprise! But what might have happened if I had opened
my door? I shudder to think! Tell everyone you know may be they can be as fortunate as I was !

P.S. Ladies, really DO forward this to EVERYONE you know. Even if this man
wasn't a serial killer, he looked nice, he seemed polite, he was
apparently doing an act of kindness, but HE WAS NOT A NICE PERSON!  Men
send it to all the women in your life. What you do today is important
because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. Make it a good one!

ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS” LADIES HERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE ON THE STREET

Info was e-mailed to me by: Evadyne Smith

Because of recent abductions

in daylight hours, refresh yourself

of these things to do

in an emergency situation...

This is for you,

and for you to share

with your wife,

your children,

everyone you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips ,

forward them to someone you care about.

It never hurts to be careful

in this crazy world we live in.



1 Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow

is the strongest point

on your body.

If you are close enough to use it, do!



2. Learned this from a tourist guide

in New Orleans.

If a robber asks

for your wallet and/or purse,

DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM

Toss it away from you....

chances are

that he is more interested

in your wallet and/or purse

than you,

and he will go

for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!




3. If you are ever thrown

into the trunk of a car,

kick out the back tail lights

and stick your arm out the hole

and start waving like crazy.

The driver won’t see you,

but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.




4. Women have a tendency

to get into their cars after shopping,

eating, working, etc.,

and just sit (doing their checkbook,

or making a list, etc.

[ DON’T DO THIS ! ]

The predator

will be watching you,

and this is the perfect opportunity

for him to get in

on the passenger side,

put a gun to your head,

and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,

LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone

is in the car

with a gun

to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

Repeat:

DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine

and speed into anything,

wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is

in the back seat

they will get the worst of it .

As soon as the car crashes

bail out and run.

It is better than having them

find your body

in a remote location.

5 A few notes about getting

into your car in a parking lot,

or parking garage:

A.) Be aware:

look around you,

look into your car,

at the passenger side floor ,

and in the back seat

B..) If you are parked next to a big van,

enter your car from the passenger door .

Most serial killers attack their victims

by pulling them into their vans

while the women are attempting

to get into their cars.

C..) Look at the car

parked on the driver’s side

of your vehicle,

and the passenger side.

If a male is sitting alone

in the seat nearest your car,

you may want to walk back

into the mall, or work,

and get a guard/policeman

to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)


6. ALWAYS

take the elevator

instead of the stairs.

(Stairwells are horrible places

to be alone

and the perfect crime spot.

This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun

and you are not under his control,

ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you

(a running target)

4 in 100 times;

And even then,

it most likely

WILL NOT

be a vital organ.

RUN,

Preferably!

in a zig -zag pattern!




8. As women,

we are always trying

to be sympathetic:

STOP

It may get you raped,

or killed.

Ted Bundy,

the serial killer,

was a good-looking,

well educated man,

who ALWAYS played

on the sympathies

of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane,

or a limp,

and often asked

“for help”

into his vehicle

or with his vehicle,

which is when he abducted
his next victim.

************* Here it is *******

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me

that her friend heard

a crying baby on her porch

the night before last,

and she called the police

because it was late

and she thought it was weird.

The police told her

“Whatever you do,

DO NOT

open the door.”

The lady

then said that

it sounded like the baby

had crawled near a window,

and she was worried

that it would crawl

to the street

and get run over.

The policeman said,

“We already have a unit on the way,

whatever you do,

DO NOT open the door.”

He told her that they think

a serial killer

has a baby’s cry recorded

and uses it to coax

women out of their homes

thinking that someone

dropped off a baby

He said they have not verified it,

but have had several calls

by women saying that

they hear baby’s cries

outside their doors

when they’re home alone

at night.

Please pass this on and

DO NOT

open the door

for a crying baby ----

This

e-mail should probably

be taken seriously because

the Crying Baby theory

was mentioned on

America ‘s Most Wanted

this past Saturday

when they profiled

the serial killer in Louisiana.


I’d like you

to forward this

to all the women you know.

It may save a life.

A candle is not dimmed

by lighting another candle.

I was going to send this to the ladies only,

but guys,

if you love your mothers,

wives,

sisters,

daughters, etc.,

you may want to

pass it onto them, as well.

Send this

to any woman you know

that may need

to be reminded

that the world we live in

has a lot of crazies in it

and it’s better to be safe than sorry.
