Always Wash Hands for Good Hygiene....
You, your co-workers, and your customers could get sick if you don't follow proper food safety practices. The location at which you are working could close, and you could lose your job.
Fortunately, you can follow practices to help ensure that the food you prepare and serve to your customers is safe.
A food borne illness is a disease that is transmitted to people by food.
Most food borne illnesses are caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms are tiny forms of life that are so small you can't see, taste, or smell them. They include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Bacteria are the biggest threat to food safety. Once bacteria begin to grow on food, it's like a rapid chain reaction. And if someone eats that food, an illness can develop.
Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are called potentially hazardous foods. These foods are high in protein, neutral or slightly acidic, and high in moisture. Examples are chili, beans, spaghetti, milk, cheese, chicken, and hamburger.
There are four factors that directly cause food to become unsafe: time-temperature abuse; cross-contamination; poor personal hygiene; and improper cleaning and sanitizing.
Food has been time-temperature abused whenever it has been allowed to remain in the temperature danger zone. The danger zone exists whenever the temperature of a potentially hazardous food falls between 41 degrees and 140 degrees. Food cannot remain in the dangerous range for more than four hours.
Cross-contamination occurs when microorganisms are transferred from one food or surface to another, carried by utensils, hands, or other foods. There are several ways to prevent cross-contamination, including hand washing, proper cleaning and sanitizing, and properly storing raw food below ready-to-eat food.
The biggest cause of food borne illness is poor personal hygiene. People who don't wash their hands properly, or often enough, are the biggest risks to food safety. Other poor hygiene practices include not covering cuts, burns, or sores; touching body parts; and wearing jewelry.
When equipment is not cleaned and sanitized, food can easily become contaminated. No mater how carefully food is prepared and cooked, without proper cleaning and sanitizing people can still become ill.

Honey & Cinnamon
Those of you into natural healing probably already use these two miracles, but a couple of them, I hadn't heard of before. I figure it's sure worth a try 'cause it even tastes good!
Cinnamon and Honey For what it's worth. Cinnamon and Honey Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey.. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing". When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban'
(very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the
200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder. CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root. GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals. INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu..
LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections. WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.
FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
BAD BREATH: People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day. HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Cancer....Alternatives to combat disease
taken from Dr David Williams Atlas
Whey Protein Powder:
This powder is probably one of the most underutilized tools that one can use to improve and protect the health of the human body. Whey isn't some glamorous, high tech product that has just recently been discovered. It is the translucent liquid that separates from the curd when milk coagulates during the cheese making process.
Studies in lab animals have found that a diet supplemented with Whey Protein provides protection against toxin-induced cancers of the esophagus, lung, bladder, colon, liver, and breast.
Avemar:
This is a fermented wheat germ extract that is used as a natural cancer therapy. Research indicates that Avemar works through several different mechanisms. One of its most unique benefits, however, is its ability to inhibit glucose metabolism in cancer cells.
Avermar also assists the immune system's ability to identify and destroy cancer cells. It is free of toxic and adverse effects and has the added benefit of being able to protect cells against such effects caused by conventional therapies.

Acid Reflux
Slippery Elm Powder:
It is one of the most time tested remedies for acid reflux. It is also used for ulcers and to soothe an irritated intestinal system. This botanical powder has been used by Native Americans for wounds, burns, and boils. Slippery elm is very safe, and it is actually a very nutritious product.
A Slippery Elm drink can bve made by adding a heaping teaspoon of the powder to a little cold water to make a paste, and then pouring on a cup of boiling water while constantly stirring the mixture. Let it cool and then drink it; do this three times a day. For a slight variation, you can use hot milk instead of water and flavor the mixture with cinnamon or nutmeg.
Chewing Gum:
Gum is another effective remedy for acid reflux. When you chew gum it increases the amount of saliva in the mouth by almost 140 percent. Saliva contains a long list of compounds that provide protection for the esophagus.

Modern Dentistry Is Dead Wrong
from Dr Gerard Judd, PhD. Scientist
1. Cavities are not caused by sugar:
The fact is, any chemist could tell you that tooth decay is caused by acid. This is actually what eats your enamel. Gerard Judd, PhD., has shown that acids formed by bacteria are the least of your problems. He says and can prove by virtue of fifty two years of research that tooth decay is primarily caused by acids in our foods and beverages. Diet soda is one culprit.
2. Brushing does next to nothing:
By the time that you brush, food acids have already destroyed significant enamel. Worse, most toothpaste contains glycerin which coats the acids and traps them next to your teeth. Much more effective: simply rinse your teeth with water or milk every time you eat.
3. Scraping plaque with dental probes:
This process makes gums rot worse. Dr Judd has found that these tools create tiny holes, where acids can pool, form new cavities and trigger more gum inflammation. Problem teeth can be rebuilt with monosodium phosphate.
4. Monosodium Phosphate:
It is the key building-block of tooth enamel. When used properly, it has been shown to thicken tooth enamel quite speedily. As the enamel thickens, you'll not only see the difference, but feel less sensitivity.

Dr Williams and Twenty Years of Proof....
famed Scientist Dr David Williams, who travels the world in search of natural cures.
Right about HRT:
In July of 1991, Dr Williams warned against hormone replacement therapy and recommended safer, cheaper, better alternatives. Thousands of women who followed
the crowd, died of heart disease and cancer.
Right about COX-2 drugs:
Almost as soon as the first COX-2 drug was introduced, Dr Williams was first to warn of its dangers. Thousand of patients who listened to their doctors and all of those TV ads died of heart attacks.
Right About Aspirin:
Dr Williams took a lot of flak in August of 1986, when he warned about deadly and debilitating side effects of aspirin therapy. A new study confirms it could quadruple our death risk.
Right About Statin Drugs:
Back in 1986, he was first to warn against side effects like muscle weakness, memory loss, and heart failure. Only later did authorities publish the truth.
Right About Cholesterol:
Dr Williams first blasted cholesterol theory of heart disease back in 1988. Ever since, mainstream medicine has been backpedaling. Current wisdom could still double our heart attack risk.
