WARNING - Read this & Check your toothpaste

You might just want to take a second look at your tube of toothpaste and consider avoiding fluoride altogether!  Why ?

Have we paid attention to the "warning signs" or are we all to preoccupied with the latest _____________ (you fill in the blank).

Since April, 1997, all toothpaste containing fluoride in the US must carry a WARNING label advising parents what to do if their child swallows more than the pea-sized brushing amount. 

There is a good reason for that warning - one tube of toothpaste actually contains enough fluoride to kill a two-year old child.  The FDA listed fluoride as an "unapproved new drug" and the EPA list fluoride as a "contaminant".  Fluoride has NEVER received "FDA Approval".  It has been linked to fluorosis in children, acne, Alzheimer's, kidney damage, gastrointestinal problems, cancer, genetic damage, neurological impairment, bone and tooth decay, and others.

I have always wondered why do they put a known Nuro-Toxin it in our water supply?  Just to prevent tooth decay?   You think?   Do they really care that much about our teeth?

Wouldn't you think education on healthy eating and cavity causing food stuff - like avoiding sugary substances would be a lot easier that polluting our drinking water with a corrosive waste product?  Since Sodium Fluoride is a Nuro-Toxin and a waste by product of the manufacture of Aluminum, why do we need to ingest it into our bodies? To prevent cavities....???

Have you ever taken the time to research what is fluoride and where it came from and why is it in our water supply?  just something to think about and might be worth your time for yours and your child's safety...

That is why I carry a fluoride free toothpaste in my product line along with other safe and healthy products.  If you can't get to my office then go to your local health food store others and look for products that are available.... if you decide that you might want to use one after reading this alarming information and doing your own research.

Studies are finding that using Chlorella for Reducing Allergies

 

               

Chlorella is building a name for itself as a nutrient that can help boost the function and competence of your immune system.  Previously, I reported on various studies showing that chlorella can help boost the germ fighting ability of a depressed immune system.  Several new studies show that chlorella helps restore immune system efficiency, offsetting the type of immune imbalance that occurs in individuals prone to allergy problems.
The first is a cell study that tested the antihistamine properties of chlorella.  Animal mast cells were chemically stimulated to provoke an allergic histamine release.  Chlorella prevented the release of histamine.  Chlorella also bolstered immune signaling (interleukin-12 and interferon-γ) that boosts the T-helper 1 response, thereby helped lower an allergic excess T-helper 2 response.  This directly resulted in less production of IgE (allergy-associated antibody production). 
Another human study found similar T-helper 1 boosting by chlorella.  In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial 5,000 mg of chlorella was given to healthy individuals.  Once again, the interleukin-12 and interferon-γ levels increased, supporting better T-helper 1 immunity.  This led to an increase in natural killer cells, which fight infection and kill cancer cells.
The total body of chlorella immunity science demonstrates that chlorella is a useful tool to boost immunity, especially to offset stressors that are depressing immunity.  It helps shift the immune system into a more efficient response, one that reduces allergy potential while it protects the body from problems.
Those with stubborn allergies may wish to see if higher doses of chlorella can help them through problematic times.  The antihistamine properties of chlorella warrant consideration for use along with other natural antihistamines, such as quercetin and grape seed extract.

Many uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

I came across this information from Ready Store and thought it worthy to share.


Hydrogen peroxide can be a great tool in your emergency pack. It has hundreds of uses that can help you clean and disinfect in any situation.
Hydrogen peroxide has the chemical property

H₂O₂

It is a strong oxidizer and is often used as a bleach or cleaning agent. You can also use it to whiten clothes, fight infections, make your own toothpaste, etc. Check out these ideas below on how you can use hydrogen peroxide for multiple purposes around your home.
Purchasing Hydrogen Peroxide
When you’re purchasing hydrogen peroxide, you have a few different options. Hydrogen peroxide comes in a few different grades, the most common being 3.5% Pharmaceutical grade. This is sold in your local drug stores and supermarket and should not be ingested.
6% grade is used in beauty shops to color hair and shouldn’t be used internally. Higher grades like 30-32% are used to clean electronics and cars.
35% grade is the only grade that is approved for internal use. It’s used in the production of eggs, cheese and other food items.
The only other grade higher than 35% is 90% and is used as an oxygen source for rocket fuel! Ya, don’t eat that either.
Remember that using items over again and finding multiple uses is a great way to save money and help you become more self-reliant and self-sufficient.
Whiten Clothes
Add a cup of peroxide to your laundry as they wash. It gets rid of stains in clothes and carpet. Just pour directly onto the spot, let it sit for a few minutes and then rub and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
Foot Fungus
Have a nasty itch on your feet? Hydrogen peroxide can help. Simply spray a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water on them every night and let dry.
Infected Cuts
Soak the cut in a mixture of 3-5% hydrogen peroxide for five to 10 minutes several times a day. People have reported that soaking their wounds in hydrogen peroxide has healed gangrene, boils, and skin infections.
Sinus Infections
A tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide added to 1 cup of water (non-chlorinated) can be used as a nasal spray. For more severe sinus infections, increase the amount of hydrogen peroxide in the mixture.
Toothpaste & Mouth Care
Hydrogen peroxide is a great tool for mouth care. You can use it to create mouthwashes, relieve toothaches and make your own toothpaste. Start with a bit of baking soda and slowly add hydrogen peroxide until it creates a paste. Hydrogen peroxide is antiviral, antibacterial and anti-fungal, so it makes a very efficient toothpaste. However, some people have reported that the hydrogen peroxide reacts with amalgam fillings in their mouth, so be careful.
Food Cleaner
Some people add ¼ cup hydrogen peroxide to a full sink of cold water and allow their vegetables to soak and clean before preparation. You can also rinse your meat off before cooking.
Clean Mold
Use a hydrogen peroxide spray to wipe up mold in the fridge or in your house so that it doesn’t spread. Since hydrogen peroxide is anti-fungal and antibacterial, it should stop the mold in its tracks!
Your Ideas?
What have you used hydrogen peroxide for? Comment below and tell us what you’ve used the miracle liquid for.

Natural Flu Remedies

Pat Robinson: Posted on Saturday, December 22, 2012 1:14 PM

I came across this and wanted to pass it on... Natural Remedies for Flu The flu is a viral infection easily spread by droplets from the nose, throat, and lungs. We spread the virus from the day before symptoms appear. The virus is then washed out of the body through mucus production for about 7-10 days by sneezing and coughing. Millions of people in the United States get the flu each year. Most people will recover completely in about one to two weeks. Since influenza is caused by a virus, antibiotics have no effect on the infection. Whole food probiotics provide nutrients and beneficial microbials to balance the gut. The gut is 70-80% of our immune system. Immune Boosting Foods: Green Smoothie Nettles infusion Homemade Milk Kefir Fermented Veggies Homemade Bone Broth Master Tonic Liver Coconut Oil, Cod Liver Oil ... and Epsom salt baths. “Infection” is the body healing itself.The Flu is treated with rest and fluids. Homeopathic “Cold Calm” can help to relieve symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and minor sore throat. Homeopathic "Oscillococcinum" can help to relieve symptoms of feeling run down, headache, body aches, chills and fever. Chicken soup has been documented to shorten the duration of a virus. Fever reducers lengthen the duration of viral illness. “Master Tonicis awesome, potent and healing! How to Support the Body To Heal: Astragalus Cayenne Echinacea Elderberry Garlic Honey Lemon Licorice Thyme Turmeric Herbal teas Chamomile Catnip Rosemary Cinnamon Oatstraw Vitamins A, B, C and D, Magnesium and Zinc. GreenMedInfo.com lists 104 medical research studies from the US National Library of Medicine regarding natural substances and influenza. Avoid:• Alcohol • Allergens • Dairy • Smoking • Stress • Sugar • Toxins Garlic and honey are a natural anti-viral and anti-bacterial and work well to address infections. Just chop 6 cloves of raw (peeled) garlic, place the garlic in a jar and pour (raw) honey over it. Steep for at least 3-4 hours; give one teaspoon every hour as needed. Alternately, onions, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, or cayenne pepper can be added to honey for the antiviral, antibacterial and immune boosting benefits. The honey syrup can be made and stored unrefrigerated for up to 3 months. Bone broth is easy. Roast a chicken, put the carcass in a pot of water, and simmer for 1-2 days. Strain, use as soup, or for cooking rice, pasta, gravy or drink it straight. Whole Food Probiotics Probiotics help strengthen the immune system by balancing your gut with good bacteria. Eat probiotic rich foods even after symptoms are gone (for prevention). Fermented foods, such as kefir and yogurt, are easy, inexpensive and healthy options. Dairy-Free Juice Kefir: 1. Purchase Real Kefir grains, inexpensively. 2. Buy 100% juice, organic grape works great and is delicious. 3. Pour equal amounts of water and juice into a jar and add the kefir grains. Cover loosely with the lid. 4. Store in a cool, dark place, for 24-72 hours. (cupboard) 6. Twist cap regularly to release the carbonation build-up. 7. Strain out kefir grains and store kefir in fridge. Drink a glass every day. The grains can be reused several times. Be Healthy!!

EMF's or Electromagnetic Fields - How to protect yourself

Gwen: Posted on Monday, January 14, 2013 12:41 PM

I came across this and found it "worthy to share" information about Electromagnetic fields or EMF's and how to protect yourself from them: (NaturalNews) The average person usually doesn't realize they are jeopardizing their health by innocently clicking away on the computer or talking on a cordless phone. Linked with cancer, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, miscarriage and a host of other devastating diseases, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a serious modern concern. And exposure is almost impossible to avoid. But with diet and a measure of awareness, the dangers of EMFs can be reduced. Hidden hazards Created by cell phones, power lines, computers and microwaves, as well as other electronic and magnetic devices, EMFs wreck havoc on the body. These fields induce brain fog, forgetfulness, anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue in those who are sensitive. The following three common appliances emit strong electromagnetic radiation and cause a variety of health disorders: Microwave - Cancerous growths, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, muscle and heart impairment, blurred vision and increased cholesterol. Computer - Erratic heartbeat, sleep disorders, miscarriage, severe headaches, thyroid malfunction, loss of energy, stress, dizziness, poor memory and decreased libido. Cell phone - Insomnia, memory loss, dizziness, nausea, poor concentration, hair thinning, eye problems, respiratory complaints, tinnitus, brain tumors and aneurisms. Needless to say, protecting oneself from EMFs is crucial for well being. Unplug and preserve wellness Completely avoiding electromagnetic radiation is impossible. Yet minimizing exposure lessens the damaging impact on health. The first rule of thumb is to turn off and unplug appliances when not in use. Next, avoid Wi-Fi networks -- especially in the home. Fully charging laptops and then unplugging when ready for use is another way to minimize EMF exposure. If the computer needs to be connected to a power source, make sure plugs and power strips are located far away from the body. Steer clear of halogen and fluorescent lighting. Both technologies produce substantial EMFs. LCD lighting is a safe alternative. Cordless phone? Avoid DECT technology -- it transmits a strong radio frequency signal, even when idle. Keep the handset away from the body by activating speaker mode. The same for cell phones. If this isn't possible, use a tube headset. Even with lower levels of exposure, it is still important to fortify the body in order to avert health issues. Prevent and repair damage Grounding the body as well as using key foods and supplements improves resiliency to EMFs. Earthing is an excellent practice to ward off the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields. Simply stand barefoot on a dewy patch of grass or walk along a sandy beach for at least ten minutes each day. Learn more here. A nutrient rich diet is also essential. Below is a list of edibles and superfoods that protect against EMFs: - Iodine - Vitamin D3 - Sea vegetables - Spirulina - Noni - Curcumin - B-complex vitamins - Melatonin - Tulsi (Holy Basil) - Omega-3 fatty acids - Glutathione - Sulfur - Selenium - Zinc In addition, consuming high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) foods is vital to prevent and heal DNA damage from EMFs. Good choices include: artichokes, cranberries, red beans, pecans, pomegranate seeds, rosemary, asparagus, blueberries, walnuts, prunes, cruciferous vegetables, cinnamon, dates, broccoli and cilantro. Always remember to select organic for ultimate nutritional power. Even though living in an age of Wi-Fi and all sorts of EMF spewing gadgets is hazardous, we don't have to be victims of this invisible menace. Tend to the diet, ground the body and unplug appliances whenever possible. By taking these precautions and proactive steps, modern living need not be so dangerous.

Acid vs Alkaline

Gwen: Posted on Saturday, January 26, 2013 1:18 PM

 

While researching a book called The Raw Food Detox Diet - I came across this brief desciption and instead of trying to recreat the wheel.... and thought I would share it. ________________________________________________________ “You will know if you are too acidic if you get sick often, get urinary tract infections, suffer from headaches, and have bad breath and body odor (when you do not use antiperspirant). Acidosis is the medical term for a blood alkalinity of less than 7.35. A normal reading is called homeostasis. It is not considered a disease; although in and of itself it is recognized as an indicator of disease. Your blood feeds your organs and tissues; so if your blood is acidic, your organs will suffer and your body will have to compensate for this imbalance somehow. We need to do all we can to keep our blood alkalinity high. The way to do this is to dramatically increase our intake of alkaline-rich elements like fresh, clean air; fresh, clean water; raw vegetables (particularly their juices); and sunlight, while drastically reducing our intake of and exposure to acid-forming substances: pollution, cigarettes, hard alcohol, white flour, white sugar, red meat, and coffee. By tipping the scales in the direction of alkalinity through alkaline diet and removal of acid waste through cleansing, and acidic body can become an alkaline one. "Bear in mind that some substances that are alkaline outside the body, like milk, are acidic to the body; meaning that they leave and acid reside in the tissues, just as many substances that are acidic outside the body, like lemons and ripe tomatoes, are alkaline and healing in the body and contribute to the body's critical alkaline reserve.” Natalia Rose Clinical Nutritionist

You can beat the system

Dr. Mercola : Posted on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 9:59 AM

In one of Dr. Mercola's reports he writes:  You CAN Beat 'the System'...  Cancer is the second most lethal disease in the US after heart disease (not counting iatrogenic mortality, aka “death by medicine”). We all know that thewar on cancer has been a dismal failure. Tragically, conventional wisdom is blind when it comes to cancer prevention and treatment and hundreds of thousands die prematurely every year as a result. They have little to no appreciation of the concepts discussed in this article. But you don’t have to fall into that trap as you know better and can take control of your health and ability to treat cancer in your own hands. The ketogenic diet, which can be summarized as a high-fat, moderate-protein, no-grain-carb diet, has brought many back to health, even after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer, and given no hope of survival. Hopefully, research by the likes of Dr. D’Agostino will become more widely known. Until then, do your own research and take control of your own health, and that of your family. Severely limiting sugar/fructose, processed foods of all kinds, sweetened beverages (as well as diet versions), and replacing carbs with healthy fatsand high quality protein can do what no medicine can – it can prevent disease from setting in, and may even be the U-turn you’re looking for if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer or other chronic disease. Add to that appropriate sun exposure, sleep, effective stress management, and regular exercise, and you’ll be well ahead of the rest of the population.
