The Whale
 

The female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. 

She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat.

She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. 

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her...a very dangerous proposition.

One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. 

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles.  She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. 

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love, be so fortunate...

To be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.  And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.

Life is short... Forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably...and never regret anything that made you smile...

"Popular Osteoporosis Drugs Linked to Hip Breaks," Janice Lloyd.  USA TODAY.  March 11, 2010.

"Two studies reported at this week's conference of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons show the bones of some postmenopausal women who take biophosphonates (Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax, Reclast) to ward off osteoporosis can stop rejuvenating and become brittle...

Osteoporosis is a threat for the aging population, especially women.  An estimated 10 million Americans have it, and 34 million have low bone mass, which puts them at risk for spine, hip and wrist fractures.  Biophosphonates are among the nation's top sellers; annual sales exceed $3.5 billion...

In Rosenwasser's research, also presented this week, bone densitometry scans show buckling potential in the hip's femur area in patients who have taken the drugs for four years or more..."

Product of the Week 
 

We have some nutritional choices for you!  Multigenics offers you a line of exceptional bone support formulas that provide purity-certified microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC) - because strong bones require much more than calcium.

MCHC is a comprehensive, delicately prepared whole bone concentrate that delivers:

Calcium, magnesium, and a full spectrum of trace minerals in their natural ratios, as well as supportive organic factors such as collagen protein, bone-derived growth factors, glycosaminoglycans and amino acids.

The purity of the raw bone and the way that it is processed determine the quality, safety, and effectiveness of MCHC products.  The MCHC in the Metagenics Cal Apatite family of products offer quality guarantees including, but not limited to: the use of cold-processing technology to preserve the delicate, beneficial protein and organic factors, safety and effectiveness backed by over 20 years of clinical use, and MCHC derived from cattle that are free-range fed and raised in a pesticide-free environment.
