Natural Cranberry

Good evening!     I haven’t been on here for a few days -  company and more company over the holiday season!       I loved having my family here and very sorry to see everyone leave -  but now I must get back to everyday routine!    

I decided it was time for me to address the issue that men have -  prostate problems.    Are you one of those fellows that think  “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”??      Regular checkups can detect risk of disease in the first stages,  and can save you having a lot of problems later.      

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate usually caused by bacteria from another part of the body  -  this is very serious as left unattended it can block the urine flow causing urine retention.     A few signs of this are: burning sensation when voiding,   difficulty to start voiding,  feeling that the bladder is full, and possible impotence.    There are other signs as well -  these are just examples.   Prostatitis can be worsened by smoking, stress, high fat diet, alcohol, caffeine.

Urinary tract infections are most common in men with enlarged prostate gland.   Drinking 1 - 2 glasses cranberry juice appears to ward off infection -  however, if you are taking Warfarin  then avoid cranberry juice as they do not interact well.    

Cran_dale Inc.  and CranberryCrandale have numerous men customers using the Fresh Freeze-dried Cranberry capsule   to stop any urinary tract infection and keep the bladder`s outlet open.     

I hope this information is helpful -  and a reminder that it is important  men have regular checkups.       Fix before it is broken!   

If you have any questions please don`t hesitate to email,  it will be answered in strict confidence and promptly.      

Sincerely,       Florence Horan    Owner/Manager                                           

Good morning!    2008 is winding down  -  hard to believe only two more days!     For myself -  I came down with a nasty sinus cold Boxing Day evening - and still with me alittle.         

 I take this opportunity to wish all my readers a very Happy -  Healthy  -  Prosperous New Year!    We hope 2009 will be kind to us.  

While some of my readers are already taking the CranberryCrandale capsules every day and enjoying the benefits -   let’s not forget our pets who are dependent on us for their health and well being.     Some of the pet food companies are adding cranberries to the food to help prevent the urinary tract infections and kidney problems  to which our pets are susceptible; others are making special cranberry for pets.  

Pets usually do not want to swallow a pill or a capsule  -  it is quite feasible to just open the CranberryCrandale capsule,  mix the contents in their food  -  they are helped as well.      My dog loves my cranberry bran muffins,  very little sugar in each one, so I really don’t hesitate to give him that treat!      He doesn’t like the real cold blustery weather,  and will wait as long as he can -  that’s when I give him his cranberrycrandale treat!!  

I hear my husband in the kitchen -  I’ll go and join him for a coffee!     Until next time  have a safe and happy 2009!    Sincerely F.Horan   

Good afternoon -   Boxing Day here  -  and no - I didn’t go bargain hunting which is very common practise in Canada.     I stayed home to recuperate after making a big supper for 10 people yesterday.    My daughter and a guest arrived Christmas Day from Wisconsin.  My son and his girlfriend came,   plus my ex-husband who would have spent the day alone.        We had a wonderful day  -  our prayers were answered that the travellers would arrive safely.     

For today -  I am asking that you read (or re-read) the blogs that I have done the last few months,   in which I have pointed out the many benefits of that sour beautiful little red berry -  the Cranberry  -   and the many benefits of taking the CranberryCrandale capsules,     100% Canadian  and 350mg cranberry in each capsule.  

The New Year is almost here -  make a New Year’s Resolution to be good to yourself,  look after your health   -   without our health what do we have??       It is very important  to have cranberries in your daily diet  -   and that is where the capsules are so convenient!  

Come visit the website    www.CranberryCrandale.com  As stated before,  the capsules are always available  -  and if you have any questions or concerns -  just send me an email   (CranberryCrandale@gmail.com)     and I will answer promptly.   All inquiries are in strict confidence.

I’ll be “talking” to you in next day or two -  enjoy this beautiful  Season.

Sincerely      Florence Horan    Owner/Manager

Good morning!     I know some Canadians provinces had piles of snow dumped on them -  and travel was very difficult.     I do hope that everyone is reaching their destination safely  -  ready to enjoy a Joyous Christmas  or your particular Holiday Season.   

Research done by University of California in 2006  found that cranberries have a “broad spectrum antibiotic value against Ecoli and other harmful bacteria”     One study conducted consisted of 2 batches of soy broth:  #1 - with cranberry juice concentrate   and #2 no cranberry     and incubated over a 24 hour period. 

The letter published in the Journal of Americal Medical Association  tells that the broth containing the cranberry juice showed a much lower growth of bacteria  -  showing that cranberries are able to fight urinary tract infections - - and other health problems.     Urinary tract infections, if not looked after quickly, can lead to kidney disease and failure.  

Cran-dale Inc. (R)  started over 10 years ago; my purpose for going on website was to let everyone possible know of the benefits involved.  We urge our readers to visit our website  www.CranberryCrandale.com  and strongly consider purchasing the CranberryCrandale capsules -  350mg cranberry in each capsule  - easy to swallow  and easier/safer than trying to drink a large amount of cranberry juice!    

Until next time -  take care of your health -  and trust I will hear from you - if you have any questions or concerns please email -  I do respond quickly and in person!        Sincerely   Florence Horan

Good evening!    We are having a true winter evening -  it was alittle warmer in the daytime - and even my dog enjoyed his jaunt around the block  -  the wind has come up and it is cold again!       I do hope that the weather is good  for Christmas /holiday season for people travelling  - including my daughter coming home.   

When looking for more good information for you folk -  I went to Herbwise site and found it very helpful.     

We need oxygen and nutrients for our energy, oxygen helps the immune system  fight disease and harmful substances.   The oxidation process uses by-products formed from oxygen-fighting to create molecular agents that react with body tissue.  This process can also cause “free radicals”  causing cell damage.   Antioxidants help reduce the number of free radicals - lower their energy levels - and stop oxidation chain reaction to lower the damage being done. 

Antioxidants can be found in some minerals and vitamins:  lutein, Vitamin C, beta-caroteen,  and others that are listed on the Herbwise site.      However, no fruit contains as many antioxidants as the beautiful sour little red cranberry!  

The cranberries become a very important ingredient in our diet  -  every day if we want really good health.     Come and visit our website: www.CranberryCrandale.com    and learn more about the cranberries,  about us,  and how to contact us.      Our capsules are always available!   

Oh yes - I have also added a link to my other website  where I am offering various gift items for sale -  and you can shop the easy way!       

Take care of your health -  and I do hope that I can be of service to you.   If you have any questions or concerns  please don’t hesitate to email -  I do answer promptly.            Sincerely     Florence Horan   Owner/Manager CranberryCrandale

Good morning!    It is a very  cold day here -  good day to just stay inside!   I’ll probably get some baking done today - instead of shopping.     Normally my dog likes to go either around the block or at least to the corner -  we went four houses down - and he started to limp,  we came right back home.   

I found this article from  MedNow -  Professional Health & Medical Information.  They state that the high acid content in cranberries helps inhibit bacterial growth along the urinary tract.    The urinary tract infection (uti) occur when bacteria enters the tract, they multiply in the urethra -  the lining becomes very red and irritated.     Left unattended  the bacteria can move deeper (further in) and finally reaches the kidney.      

Kidney infection is very dangerous and is life-threatening if not treated right away.     The website states that, in the U.S.  the uti accounts for over 8 million visits to doctors.         Now you ask:   how do I know if I have an infection?

Symptoms are:   painful urination,   urine is cloudy or stronger odour than normal  or blood in the urine, called hematuria.        See your doctor immediately!     

Cranberries can be taken quite safely with any antibiotic -  inform your doctor you are taking them.      Instead of trying to drink a gallon of cranberry juice -  or eat a plateful of cranberries - our CranberryCrandale capsules contain 350mg pure cranberry  -   easy to swallow,  easy to store,   and always available.    Check out our website at www.CranberryCrandale.com -  see for yourself who we are, etc!!

Thank you for coming  -  and hope this information has been of help to you. 

Good evening!     It is very cool here today -  might as well say cold!     It isn’t even termed  “winter”  until Dec.21st!     Change in the weather really bothers the arthritis in my neck -   I wish cranberries could help that too!  

I found this recipe -  not sure where I found it  but I did promise in last blog that I would give another recipe! 

Apple Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins
· 1 egg
· ¾ of a cup of milk (nut or soy milk may be substituted)
· 1 cup dried cranberries · 1 apple, chopped
· ½ cup of butter, melted
· 1 cup of whole wheat flour · 1 cup quick oats, uncooked
· 1/3 cup of brown sugar
· 5 teaspoons baking powder · 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 teaspoon nutmeg · 2 teaspoons cinnamonBeat the egg in a bowl then add the dried cranberries, chopped apple, soymilk and melted butter. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl, then fold into the egg mixture, just enough to moisten. Pour into greased muffin pans. Bake in a preheated oven at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Makes 10 to 12 muffins.I know that I would be doubling the recipe as they would be disappearing quickly! 

Those little red cranberries contain such significant amounts of anti-oxidants and phytonutrients are known to fight urinary tract infection, heart disease, some forms of cancer,  prevent tooth decay and gum disease -  so many reasons to be sure they are in our daily diet.        To be sure to have cranberry everyday -  try our CranberryCrandale capsules   -   www.CranberryCrandale.com     

Good morning -   December 8th -  and it is sunny but cold!    The sun certainly is bright today -  our front porch has plexiglass and becomes quite warm -  my cats love it!        I can’t believe that I gave the wrong date a few days ago -  looked at the calendar and thought I had lost a week!     It was a momentary panic moment -  think we all experience them at times! 

Dentists in Israel reported that cranberries and cranberry juice contain special compounds that can block the formation of dental plaque, lessen tooth decay and gum disease!      The compound in the cranberry prevents  plaque from sticking to the teeth -   the same action as for the urinary tract.     

Avoid cranberry “cocktail”   as they contain a fair amount of sugar which can be harmful  -  you need the pure cranberry juice  -  which is sour  (my mouth puckers to think of it!)     The cranberry capsules we offer are 350mg cranberry each -  and much easier to take.      Visit my website   www.CranberryCrandale.com   for more information.   

Next time -  I have a really neat recipe to give -  for apple cranberry muffins -  I’ll make some myself today!        Take care -  and take care of your health!   

Good morning!      It is quite frosty out there this morning -  and I know I have to go out later for groceries.     Brrrrrrr. 

I went to a site called Spectrum Ingredients -  and found a very good article re. anti-oxidants.  

Cranberries have the highest anti-oxidants per every 100mg  of any fruit!    The anti-oxidants fight free radicals  -  and  what are they?      Free radicals are unstable molecules that damange cell and cell dna;  they are neutralized by anti-oxidants.  

Collagen and elastic are two critical proteins in connective tissue that support:  organs, joints, blood vessels and muscle;   proanthocyanidins play a role in the stabilization of these two proteins.

A product  -  such as cranberries - high in proanthocyanidins have been shown to prevent and reverse abnormal blood clotting in smokers.    

How can such a small red berry like a cranberry have so much value?    They are absolutely great.       Take a look please at my website www.CranberryCrandale.com      Be kind to your health  -  and start taking the capsules every day  -  just one a day can make a difference.       

Each bottle contains 90 fresh freeze-dried cranberry capsules, each capsule 350mg cranberry.     Consider giving them  as a gift to  family member or friend who has health difficulties.   Cranberries can be of great benefit in many ways!              

As a result of a  “senior’s moment”   and lack of sleep last night  - I looked at the December calendar wrong  -  Oh my word  it’s the 10th already - panic!      However,  I found out very shortly after  -  it is only December 3rd today -  what a relief!!   

Now you can have a laugh with me   (please don’t laugh at me!).     I have so many things ahead of me to do  -  time runs away on me - and this time I thought it had completely!!      Has anyone else had this experience?? 

Thanks for reading  -  everyone needs a laugh sometimes!     I’ll be back soon!
