Another reason to make sure you are shopping for quality products
Here is some info on Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream.
Aug. 14, 2008 -- Four commonly used moisturizers promoted skin cancers in mouse studies.
Mice are not men. But the unexpected finding suggests that these -- and perhaps other products -- may not be as safe as they're thought to be.
The moisturizers tested in the study were Dermabase, Dermovan (a wholesale-only product discontinued in 2006), Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream, and Vanicream.
In a mouse model of sun-related skin cancer, frequent application of each product resulted in more skin tumors and faster tumor growth, says study leader Allan H. Conney, PhD, director of the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research and professor in the school of pharmacy at Rutgers University in Piscataway, N.J.
"This was unexpected. We really did not expect to see the tumor-promoting activity of these creams," Conney tells WebMD.
Eucerin increased the total number of tumors by 24%.

Am I a Fireman yet??
In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of
terminal leukemia.
Although her heart was filled with sadness,
she also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up
& fulfill all his dreams.
Now that was no longer possible.
The leukemia would see to that. But she
still wanted her son's dream to come true.
She took her son' s hand and asked,
"Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted
to be once you grew up?
Did you ever dream and wish what you
would do with your life?"
Mommy, "I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."
Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we
can make your wish come true."
Later that day she went to her local fire
Department in Phoenix , Arizona , where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix .
She explained her son's final wish and
Asked if it might be possible to give her
6 year-old son a ride around the block
on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better
than that. If you'll have your son ready at
seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make
him an honorary Fireman for the whole day.
He can come down to the fire station, eat with us,
go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!
And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy --
one-with the emblem of t he Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots."
"They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix ,
so we can get them fast."
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy,
dressed him in his uniform and escorted him
from his hospital bed to the waiting hook
and ladder truck.
Billy got to sit on the back of the truck
and help steer it back to the fire station.
He was in heaven.
There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day
and Billy got to go out on all three calls.
He rode in the different fire engines,
the Paramedic's' van,
and even the fire chief's car.
He was also videotaped for the local news program.
Having his dream come true,
with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed
in the hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.
Then she remembered the day Billy had spent
as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and
asked if it would be possible to send a
fireman in unifo rm to the hospital to be
with Billy as he made his transition.
The chief replied, "We can do better than that.
We'll be there in five minutes.
Will you please do me a favor?
When you hear the sirens screaming and see
the lights flashing, will you announce over the
PA system that there is not a fire?"
"It's the department comin g to see one of its finest members one more time.
And will you open the window to his room?"
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window--------
16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.
With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.
With his dying breath,
Billy looked up at the fire chief and said,
"Chief, am I really a fireman now?"
"Billy, you are, and the Head Chief,
Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said
With those words, Billy smiled and said,
"I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and
The angels have been singing.."
He closed his eyes one last time.
My instructions were to send this to at least four
people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
Please pass this on. I am a 26 year old mother!
This story is powerful and there is nothing attached,
PLEASE;
Uplifting stories are one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost, but a lot of rewards, let's
continue to uplift one another ~

National Friendship Day ( Aug 3 )
No matter where the journey takes us.
No matter where the path may end.
I will stand with you forever.
You will be my dearest friend.
We've shared lots of fun and laughter.
We've shed many fallen tears.
I will share with you my good times,
You can share with me your fears.
Sometimes you'll lead, sometimes I'll follow.
Sometimes we'll lean in each other arms.
But all the time we both will be there.
Supporting, caring, safe from harm.
So give to me your trust and honor,
I'll give to you my faith and care.
No matter where this journey takes us,
At the end we'll both be there!
Lynn King
When I was in 3rd grade we learned a son in school. Part of it I remember still:
A circle is round,
it has no end,
thats how long I want to be your friend.
Make new friends,
but keep the old,
One is silver and the others gold.
it has no end,
thats how long I want to be your friend.
Make new friends,
but keep the old,
One is silver and the others gold.
So remember friends young and old, long lost and fallen out. Life is just to short! Live well! Live each day like its your last! I'll do my best to tak emy own advice :)
