Nobody cares about fire hazard

Dear Editor: Re: “Are we ready for the big one?” (Herald, Aug. 14). Reporting a great potential fire hazard is a joke as not one department fesses up to who is responsible for the overgrown back lane behind our property here in beautiful Olalla.

I maintained this property for many years as a volunteer but my clean-up age has grown along with the hazard waiting to happen.

I no longer have feelings or fear of losing all due to fire and I have accepted that alone, you are a nobody especially if your choice where to live is remote.

One grain of sand or a pebble on the beach alone would go unnoticed as does the small community of Olalla.

However I have tried in vain to seek help to rectify this issue with an inexpensive solution but to no avail.

Make sure you have fire insurance for home and contents or you may be out of luck. Just in case my future hot ride is to hell, I am looking to take a fire truck along with me to douse the flames!

I challenge all of you that preach to report potential disaster by fire to come and take a look in Olalla, but I won’t hold my breath or feel sorry if fire hits your home. bad for us as a species, other than short-term, acute inflammation reaction, is bad.

Chronic inflammation is debilitating. Who knew? I know that they don’t have a clue when they include a fruit juice box with the diabetic being transported home.

Twenty four grams of sugar, just what the diabetic needs. OK, let’s get to it.

There is a plethora of studies that demonstrate that — wait — cholesterol-laden foods aren’t deleterious to your health.

Even more, that elevated cholesterol won’t kill you, but low cholesterol more likely will.

OK, now for the hospital food. Eliminate all gluten, remove all grains. You never have to eat grains again in your life; you really won’t miss much. That means that you avoid cereal; nothing good in it save perhaps a bit of fibre in the best of them.

Don’t drink the fruit juice; it’s full of sugar and the root of all evils for health.

Stay away from potato and rice; it’s too high on the hyperglycemic index. No pancakes, no syrup, no full glass of milk, watch the bacon and no sausage.

What is left. Well, real eggs, yogurt, tea, coffee, and fruit. The same can be said for lunch, with some fish or chicken for protein and perhaps a small bit of cheese, and avocado and nuts, on a salad.

Dinner, no rice, no potato ( these are starches) no corn ( it’s a grain) vegetables please, perhaps some wild rice, and grass fed beef, wild fish, free roam chickens and steroid/ antibiotic free pork.

Dessert? Fruit please, and then some nuts for a snack, although no peanuts as they are ground not tree nuts, and thus a grain. So, you have it. The meal you should have in a hospital, and at home.

If you doubt this diatribe, I invite you to read a bit to educate yourself.

There are some 30 books at Chapters outlining the “Gut Biome” and what is really healthy for you. Richard Earnshaw, Critical care paramedic, Kelowna says is to be believed.

Giede actually concludes that, “it is better to be ruled by a bad man than to be ruled by [a] good one compelled by his conscience to enact bad policies.”

Let’s examine a good man of conscience, President Barack Obama. No doubt Giede would consider his plan to give Americans single payer healthcare a bad policy.

He would have accomplished that, had it not been for the obstreperous GOP Congress. It would have eliminated insurance companies from profiting from people’s illnesses and given citizens our healthcare at half the price of their present system, a compromised system Obama was forced to adopt.
