Microwave Oven Destroys The Nutritional Value Of Your Food


The rise of widespread nutritional deficiencies in the western world
correlates almost perfectly with the introduction of the microwave oven. This is
no coincidence. Microwave ovens heat food through a process of creating
molecular friction, but this same molecular friction quickly destroys the
delicate molecules of vitamins and phytonutrients (plant medicines) naturally
found in foods. One study showed that microwaving vegetables destroys up to 97%
of the nutritional content (vitamins and other plant-based nutrients that
prevent disease, boost immune function and enhance health).

In other
words, eating raw broccoli provides you with natural anti-cancer medicine that's
extremely effective at halting the growth of cancer tumors. But microwaving that
broccoli destroys the anti-cancer nutrients, rendering the food "dead" and
nutritionally depleted. There's even some evidence to suggest that microwaving
destroys the natural harmony in water molecules, creating an energetic pattern
of chaos in the water found in all foods. In fact, the common term of "nuking"
your food is coincidentally appropriate: Using a microwave is a bit like
dropping a nuclear bomb on your food, then eating the fallout. (You don't
actually get radiation from eating microwaved foods, however. But you don't get
much nutrition, either.)


Are  Microwave  Users  Unhealthy?

Consumers are dying today in part because they
continue to eat dead foods that are killed in the microwave. They take a
perfectly healthy piece of raw food, loaded with vitamins and natural medicines,
then nuke it in the microwave and destroy most of its nutrition. Humans are the
only animals on the planet who destroy the nutritional value of their food
before eating it. All other animals consume food in its natural, unprocessed
state, but humans actually go out of their way to render food nutritionally
worthless before eating it. No wonder humans are the least healthy mammals on
the planet.

The invention of the microwave and its mass adoption by the
population coincides with the onset of obesity in developed nations around the
world. Not only did the microwave make it convenient to eat more
obesity-promoting foods, it also destroyed much of the nutritional content of
those foods, leaving consumers in an ongoing state of malnourished overfeeding.
In other words, people eat too many calories but not enough real
nutrition
. The result is, of course, what we see today: Epidemic rates of
diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression, kidney failure, liver disorders and
much more. These diseases are all caused by a combination of malnutrition and
exposure to toxic chemicals (plus other factors such as emotional trauma, lack
of exercise, etc.). Microwaves make malnutrition virtually automatic, and being
exposed to toxic chemicals is easy to accomplish by simply eating processed
foods (which are universally manufactured with the addition of toxic chemicals
that act as preservatives, colorings, flavor enhancers and so
on).

Microwaving is, technically, a form of food irradiation. I find it
interesting that people who say that would never eat "irradiated" food have no
hesitation about microwaving their food. It's the same thing (just a different
wavelength of radiation). In fact, microwaves were originally called "radar
ranges." Sounds strange today, doesn't it? But when microwaves were first
introduced in the 1970's, they were proudly advertised as radar ranges. You
blast your food with high-intensity radar and it gets hot. This was seen as some
sort of space-age miracle in the 1970's. Perhaps someday an inventor will create
a food heating device that does not radically alter the nutritional value of the
foods in the process, but I'm not holding my breath on this one.
Probably the best way to heat foods right now is to simply use a countertop
toaster oven, and keep the heat as low as possible.

The microwave does
work as advertised, by the way. It makes your food hot. But the mechanism by
which heat is produced causes internal damage to the delicate molecular
structures of vitamins and phytonutrients. Minerals are largely unaffected,
however, so you'll still get the same magnesium, calcium and zinc in microwaved
foods as you would in non-microwaved foods, but the all-important B vitamins,
anthocyanins, flavonoids and other nutritional elements are easily destroyed by
microwave ovens.

The microwave is the appliance of the living
dead
. People who use the microwave on a regular basis are walking down a
path towards degenerative disease and a lifelong battle with obesity. The more
you use the microwave, the worse your nutritional state gets, and the more
likely you are to be diagnosed with various diseases and put on pharmaceuticals
which, of course, will create other health problems that lead to a grand
spiraling nosedive of health.

Do yourself a favor: Toss your
microwave
, or donate it to some charity. It's much easier to avoid using the
microwave if you don't have one around. It will clear up counter space, save you
electricity and greatly enhance your dietary habits. When you need to heat
something, heat it in a toaster oven or a stovetop pan (avoid Teflon and
non-stick surfaces, of course). Better yet, strive to eat more of a raw,
unprocessed diet. That where you'll get the best nutrition anyway. Buy yourself
a Vita-Mix and blend up some smoothies. It's faster than microwaving foods are
far healthier.

10 Reasons To Eat More Sprouts

10 Reasons To Love Sprouts (Plus DIY Sprouting At Home)

By Michelle Cook (Care2)

Sprouts truly are the best locally-grown food, yet not enough people eat or grow them. Considering there many health and environmental benefits, it’s time to consider adding sprouts to your diet.

10 Reasons To Eat More Sprouts:

1. Experts estimate that there can be up to 100 times more enzymes in sprouts than uncooked fruits and vegetables. Enzymes are special types of proteins that act as catalysts for all your body’s functions. Extracting more vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids from the foods you eat ensures that your body has the nutritional building blocks of life to ensure every process works more effectively.

 

2. The quality of the protein in the beans, nuts, seeds, or grains improves when it is sprouted. Proteins change during the soaking and sprouting process, improving its nutritional value. The amino acid lysine, for example, which is needed to prevent cold sores and to maintain a healthy immune system increases significantly during the sprouting process.

 

3. The fiber content of the beans, nuts, seeds, or grains increases substantially. Fiber is critical to weight loss. It not only binds to fats and toxins in our body to escort them out, it ensures that any fat our body breaks down is moved quickly out of the body before it can resorb through the walls of the intestines (which is the main place for nutrient absorption into the blood).


 

4. Vitamin content increases dramatically. This is especially true of vitamins A, B-complex, C, and E. The vitamin content of some seeds, grains, beans, or nuts increases by up to 20 times the original value within only a few days of sprouting. Research shows that during the sprouting process mung beansprouts (or just beansprouts, as they are often called) increase in vitamin B1 by up to 285 percent, vitamin B2 by up to 515 percent, and niacin by up to 256 percent.

 

5. Essential fatty acid content increases during the sprouting process. Most of us are deficient in these fat-burning essential fats because they are not common in our diet. Eating more sprouts is an excellent way to get more of these important nutrients.

 

6. During sprouting, minerals bind to protein in the seed, grain, nut, or bean, making them more useable in the body. This is true of alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, and others than help us to balance our body chemistry for weight loss and better health.

 

7. Sprouts are the ultimate locally-grown food. When you grow them yourself you are helping the environment and ensuring that you are not getting unwanted pesticides, food additives, and other harmful fat-bolstering chemicals that thwart your weight loss efforts.

 

8. The energy contained in the seed, grain, nut, or legume is ignited through soaking and sprouting.

 

9. Sprouts are alkalizing to your body. Many illnesses including cancer have been linked to excess acidity in the body.

 

10. Sprouts are inexpensive. People frequently use the cost of healthy foods as an excuse for not eating healthy. But, with sprouts being so cheap, there really is no excuse for not eating healthier.



How To Get Sprouting At Home!


Growing your own is a great way to have a supply of gourmet varieties, ensure access to high quality fresh foods year round if you live in a colder climate, or simply to become more aware of the food you are eating.

I prefer the jar method which involves using a wide-mouth mason jar and either sprout lids from a health food store or cheesecloth and a rubber band.

You’ll need only a few basic supplies to get started sprouting. They include: organic sprouting seeds, nuts, legumes, or grains (such as mung beans, alfalfa seeds, clover seeds, broccoli seeds, and garbanzo beans.)

Avoid sprouting kidney beans as they are poisonous if eaten raw or sprouted. Make sure the seeds you choose are from a reputable supplier that can guarantee they haven’t been heated during processing, which prevents them from sprouting.

What You’ll Need:

1. Large wide mouth mason jars

2. Sprouting lids for jars (Sprouting lids are typically available in most health food stores but you can use cheesecloth and rubber bands over the top of the jars if you prefer)


Now you’re ready to get sprouting! :-)

Grow Your Own Sprouts

  • For hygiene’s sake, wash your hands before handling seeds. Use seeds, grains, nuts, or legumes. For simplicity, I’ll be referring to any of these items as seeds throughout the instructions.
  • Remove any broken or discolored seeds, stones, twigs, or hulls that may have found their way into your sprouting seeds.
  • Place one type of seed in the jar. Use about a teaspoon of seeds or one-third cup of beans. Remember they will grow in size during the soaking and sprouting process.
  • Cover the seeds with pure water. If you are using a few tablespoons of seeds, cover with at least one cup of water. If you are using beans, nuts, or grains, use at least three times the water of the amount of seed. In other words, one cup of water for one-third cup of mung beans, for example.
  • Allow the seeds to soak for about 6 to 12 hours. I find it easiest to start them before going to bed. They absorb the water while I’m sleeping and are ready to start sprouting in the morning.
  • Cover the jar with the sprouting lids or cheesecloth. If you’re using cheesecloth, secure over the top of the jar with a rubber band. Drain off the water.
  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and drain off the water again. Set upside down in a clean, cool spot in your kitchen area, preferably on a slight angle to allow excess water to drain off. Alternatively, use a stainless steel dish drying rack which gives the sprout jars the perfect angle for draining.
  • Rinse the sprouts a few times a day. Be sure to drain them well each time.
  • Once the sprouts are ready to be harvested (this amount of time differs for each variety; alfalfa or mung bean sprouts are ready in about a week), place them in a large bowl of cool water and stir them around to loosen hulls and skins from the seeds (this is an optional step). They’ll usually come to the top so you can remove them. Don’t worry about removing every hull. Doing so helps prevent spoilage so the sprouts will last longer. Drain sprouts well and store in the refrigerator covered for a week to 10 days, depending on the sprout type.

HANDY TIP:

To increase the mineral content of your sprouts, add a piece of kelp or other type of seaweed to the water while the seeds are soaking.

A Goat Will Keep You Alive | Farm Wars

A Goat Will Keep You Alive




Alive1Barbara H. Peterson


Farm Wars


When thinking about survival prepping, most think of collecting as
many dried foods as possible to last for as many years as possible,
along with whatever other supplies will be needed to take care of
oneself and family without having to visit the supermarket, which, in
most scenarios, will not be functioning in a post-crash world.


To this discussion, I would like to add something a bit out of the
box. And that is – a goat will keep you alive. Yes, it’s true, and I
have spent the last several weeks proving just that.


The survival system that I decided on was geared towards providing me
and mine with fresh, whole food that is renewable and sustainable. So, I
purchased two milking goats to go along with my garden. One is an
Alpine cross whom I named Sunny, and the other a Mini Mancha (La Mancha
and Nigerian Dwarf cross) who goes by the name of Fiona. They were
pregnant when I bought them, and almost ready to kid.


Alive2I
have to admit that I knew Alpines were good milkers, but had no idea
what a Mini Mancha would do, and was delightfully surprised when it came
time for milking at the amount that my little gal produces. For such a
small individual, she is a powerhouse.


So, with these two ladies by my side, I began my journey into food
freedom. Could my ladies actually keep me alive and healthy? I would
soon find out.


The Experiment


Alive3The
babies were born the first week of February, and I did not milk until I
weaned them at 2 months of age. After that, I started milking twice per
day and get 1 – 1 ½ gallons per day. Since my ladies started producing I
haven’t eaten much of anything that doesn’t come from the ranch and/or
local sources.


Why a goat?


My first thought was nutrition. Could I really get the nutrition I
need from a diet of goat milk, veggies and fruit? So, I looked up a bit
of nutritional information:


Nutrition


Goat milk is also a healthier alternative to cow milk.
Why? Cow milk has to be homogenized to be more easily digested, which
is a process where the fat globules are broken down. However, this is
not necessary with goat milk because it is naturally homogenized.
Therefore goat milk is much more easily digested than cow milk is.



Goat milk has more of the essential vitamins that we need. Goat
milk has 13% more calcium, 25% percent more B6, 47% percent more vitamin
A, and 27% more selenium. It also has more chloride, copper, manganese,
potassium, and niacin than cow milk. It also produces more silicon and
fluorine than any other dairy animal. Silicon and fluorine can help
prevent diabetes.



Scientist are not sure why, but people who are lactose intolerant
can often drink goat milk without having to worry about side effects.
Goat milk does not cause phlegm like cow milk does, so you can drink
goat milk even when you have a cold or bad allergy problems.



http://www.dairygoatjournal.com/issues/83/83-4/Daniel_Peterson.html
For a complete nutritional breakdown comparing goat milk to cow and human milk, go to Fias Co Farm.


Ease of upkeep


The next concern was how easy are they to keep? It turns out that
they are the best bet for the money when it comes to dairy critters.
Goats are less time consuming, eat less, and are less labor intensive
than cows, making them much more economical. They are also browsers and
not grazers, meaning that they will eat stuff that cows simply will not
touch, and can be used to clear weeds. If you turn them out on your
property to browse, they will eat brush and weeds, leaving you with
cleared, fertilized land, sans the heavy machinery and spendy
store-bought fertilizers. Just be careful of the weeds that they eat as the taste will end up in your milk.


Often the dairy goat has been called the “poor man’s
cow,” because good dairy goats do not cost near as much as good dairy
cows do. You can raise more goats on a smaller amount of pasture than
you can cows. While it takes an acre for a cow/calf, you can
successfully raise six goats on one acre. Cows usually have only one
calf per year, while goats have two kids (that’s what you call a young
goat) after their second year. Pound for pound a good dairy goat will
produce more milk than a cow will. Unlike a cow, a good dairy goat can
produce up to 10% of its body weight in milk.



http://www.dairygoatjournal.com/issues/83/83-4/Daniel_Peterson.html
Choosing your goat


There are several breeds to choose from, and what is right for one, might not be right for another.


The most frequently asked question that people ask me
about goats is, “What is the difference in each breed’s milk taste, and
how much milk do they average.” And that is always one of the hardest
questions to answer, simply because there really aren’t any solid
answers I can give! Each individual goat is going to have its own amount
of milk it’s going to give, and it’s going to have its own taste. Think
of it like a grab bag. You never know what you’re going to get.



But that sounds rather discouraging. How on earth is a body
supposed to choose a goat breed if they’re hesitant about each one? Over
the years, I’ve had the privilege to own almost all the dairy breeds
out there, and then try the milk from countless of other goats. Through
much experience (read: trial and error as we bought goats that gave
horrid tasting milk!), I’ve gotten to know each breed’s quirks and
histories, and I’ve come to realize that it actually is possible to give
people an idea of what to expect from each breed.



http://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/choosing-a-dairy-goat-breed.aspx#ixzz2TlWeV9xJ
Saanen, Alpine, Nubian, Toggenburg, Oberhaslis, La Mancha, Nigerian
Dwarf, and combinations thereof are the main dairy breeds. I would
rather not get hooked on buying a purebred since they are more
expensive, and certain crosses yield excellent milk, in my opinion. My
gals are both crosses and their milk is wonderful.


So, when you are looking for your milking goat, go with taste,
volume, temperament, size of teats if you are hand milking, and orifice
size. You can determine all of these things if you go to the place where
you are considering purchasing your goat and observe the hands on
experience. Watch the goats to see how they relate to each other, watch
your prospect getting milked, ask questions, and taste her milk. I
always recommend buying from a trusted source, and if in doubt, get a
vet check before purchase.


Preparing for your goat


Alive13I
asked the local goat-keeper what type of fencing my girls would need.
He said that if I can make an enclosure that would hold water, I should
be able to keep them in at all times…. Okay! A challenge. Well, I ended
up with a 52” fence because I used large pallets. So far, it has worked.
My friend uses 5’ high woven wire fencing. That is optimal, but since
the pallets were free, that is what I chose.


The feeder is outside of the pen, allowing them to put their heads
through the holes and eat without trampling it on the ground and soiling
it. Hay nets are another option, but if your goat has horns, she can
get them caught in the hay net.


Alive4


Large dog houses are excellent shelters, but just about anything can
be used such as a raised camper shell, a-frame structures, etc.
Basically, your goats need to have some place dry and out of the
elements to get to. A good straw bedding inside will keep them warm, dry
and happy, and provide a good kidding area.


They will also need a good supply of fresh, clean water. Goats do not
like dirty water, and if you live in freezing conditions you will need
to get a water heater. I use 5 gallon buckets that are cleaned
regularly.


Keeping your goat healthy


Feed


You will want to get a good supply of high quality hay for your
girls. I let the babies browse the ranch, but the milking mamas get a
controlled feed so that the taste of the milk can be regulated. As I
stated before, whatever they eat affects the taste of the milk. If you
cannot get feed for your girls, they can be turned out to forage in an
emergency and will do just fine as long as there is plenty of grass and
other vegetation. Click HERE for a list of edible and poisonous plants for goats.


Each goat needs 2 to 4 pounds of hay each day,
although some of this need can be met by available pasture or other
forage. Make it available free choice throughout the day when pasture is
unavailable or feed twice a day when goats are also browsing.



You can feed alfalfa (and some grass hays) in pellet form if you
don’t have storage or if you want to mix it with grain. The goats don’t
waste so much alfalfa when it’s in pellets, and you can limit who gets
it by combining it with their grain.



http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/what-to-feed-your-goats.html
I am currently feeding a free-choice oat/pea hay combination along with a non-GMO dairy goat pellet
, whole oats, rolled barley, alfalfa pellets, timothy grass pellets,
and molasses. They also get free-choice loose minerals and baking soda.


Worming


When it is time to worm, I mix food grade diatomaceous earth with
their grain ration along with a bit of warm water and molasses to coat
everything so that it all gets eaten. Here is some info about
diatomaceous earth:


Food grade diatomaceous earth makes a very effective
natural insecticide. The insecticidal quality of diatomaceous earth is
due to the razor sharp edges of the diatom remains. When diatomaceous
earth comes in contact with the insects, the sharp edges lacerate the
bugs waxy exoskeleton and then the powdery diatomaceous earth absorbs
the body fluids causing death from dehydration.



Food grade diatomaceous earth has been used for at least two
decades as a natural wormer for livestock. Some believe diatomaceous
earth scratches and dehydrates parasites. Some scientists believe that
diatomaceous earth is a de-ionizer or de-energizer of worms or
parasites. Regardless, people report definite control. To be most
effective, food grade diatomaceous earth must be fed long enough to
catch all newly hatching eggs or cycling of the worms through the lungs
and back to the stomach. A minimum of 60 days is suggested by many, 90
days is advised for lungworms.



Food grade diatomaceous earth works in a purely
physical/mechanical manner, not “chemical” and thus has no chemical
toxicity. Best yet, parasites don’t build up a tolerance/immunity to its
chemical reaction, so rotation of wormers is unnecessary.



http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/defaq.html
Injury care


Goats are hardy creatures, so a bit of prevention goes a long way. I
keep Povidone Iodine around for minor cuts, along with hydrogen peroxide
and colloidal silver. My medical kit is stocked with sterile cotton,
vet-wrap, sharp scissors, an enema bottle, small bottles of hydrogen
peroxide, colloidal silver and Betadine, cotton swabs, thermometer, and
small towels.


Trimming feet


Your milking stand can also be used to secure your goats for hoof trimming.


 
Alive12Comprehensive instructions along with pictures can be found by clicking HERE.
Also, remember to keep a bottle of blood-stop powder handy just in case
you trim a little too deep and draw blood. If this happens, simply
sprinkle a bit on, and that will stop the bleeding.


To horn or not to horn


Most goat people will insist on disbudding the babies. I don’t. I
know that this is a contentious subject, but clearly, goats are born
with them and they serve a purpose. We disbud (remove) them for our own
personal convenience, not theirs. The choice is yours, as I have already
made mine. Here is an article that supports my belief:


Yes, horns get in the way. Yes, they can cause some
damage. But did you know that in most countries, disbudding is
considered akin to surgically removing a leg, or ears, or an udder? And
 well it should be, in my book. That said, goat owners have to take
their individual circumstances into consideration. Maybe, if I had a lot
of little kids around, I might think differently. But I would probably
just do what I did when my kids were little and there were sharp pointy
goat horns around: put tennis balls, or some sort of rubber, squishy
thing, on the end of the horns.Worked great. Goats didn’t care. No eyes
got poked out.  If I had a bajillion goats in a small space, maybe I
would disbud. If I was going to show my goats, I’d have to – it’s THE
LAW. Hmmm. Im not showing. In my particular case, I’m willing to make
management changes in order to let my goats be goats.



http://dancingdogfarm.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/why-we-believe-goats-should-have-horns/
If you decide to disbud, click HERE for some instructions.


Milking


A happy goat is a good milking goat. At first arrival to a new home,
your goat will take some time to get used to her surroundings. Since
they are herd animals, they like company. So, a compatible goat buddy is
better for your goat than being the lone stranger.


Goats can hold back their milk of they are unhappy, and if they are
satisfied, can deliver it easily. It is really up to them. This means
that developing a good relationship with them is paramount. When I
started milking my mamas, I sang to them. Now that we are in a routine,
and they love routines, I open the gate and they run to the milking
stand. This took a bit of doing.


At first, Fiona didn’t want to get on. She hadn’t been milked on a
stand before and would have none of it. I had to lift her up and place
her on it. Well, that wasn’t going to last for long, so I started only
giving them grain when they were on the stand. Problem solved.  They now
associate the stand with grain, and the longer I milk, the more grain
they get to eat, so they give me as much milk as possible.


Click HERE for detailed instructions on how to hand milk a goat. I like to use a mild solution of warm water and apple cider vinegar for an udder wash and teat dip.


Click HERE for detailed instructions on how to construct a milking stand.


Alive5If
you have more than a couple of goats, and you will after kidding, you
might want to invest in a milking machine. I invested in an aspirator
purchased from an eBay seller for $109, some hose for $25, a couple of
replacement batteries for $25, two fittings, a dosing syringe, and a
gallon jar with lid that I had around the house. My friend had already
made one, so she put the fittings and hose together for me, and showed
me how to use it.


The main thing to remember about goat milk is that it will pick up
the flavor of anything it comes in contact with. Therefore, cleanliness
will yield the best tasting milk. Also, I don’t let my milk come in
contact with plastic containers. I use a stainless steel bucket and
glass jars. Immediately after milking, I strain the milk into a glass
jar and place it in the fridge to cool. No “goaty” taste for me! People
who taste my milk say it tastes like creamy, sweet cow’s milk. They
can’t tell it’s from a goat.


Food  and other stuff


When I say that a goat will keep you alive, I mean it. Here is a typical day’s meal:


Alive6Breakfast:


Goat milk smoothie – goat milk, whatever fruit is handy and honey
placed in a blender and blended until smooth and creamy, or goat milk
and homemade granola made with oats, fruit and nuts.


Alive7Lunch:


Goat cheese and spinach salad.







Alive8Dinner:


Vegetable soup and homemade bread made with whey from the cheesemaking process.





Alive9Snack:


Goat ice-milk mixed with fruit, nuts, and any other flavors you like.





Here are pics of a couple of the cheeses that I make with stuff from the garden, goat milk and apple cider vinegar.


Alive10Walking Onion Goat Cheese











Alive11Wild Celery Goat Cheese











I also feed the whey and excess milk to the cats and chickens. It keeps them fat and healthy.


You can also make a very mild and gentle soap from goat milk.


 
Packing


Goats are also used for packing, and will leave a much more invisible footprint than other animals such as donkeys and horses.


 
Conclusion


The results of my experiment are that I am feeling strong, energetic,
am definitely healthy, and do not feel one bit deprived. And what do I
owe it to? My two milking mamas, fresh fruit, veggies, local honey and a
penchant for independence. I am confident that if the store shelves run
dry, I can still eat healthy, good tasting food and get the nutrition
that I need. A goat will keep you alive.

5 Ways to Detox Fluoride – Extremely Important – Fluoride Treatment



It should be outrageous to think that the very water we drink is poisoned—but the water actually is.

Although calcium fluoride is found naturally in underground and ocean water, the sodium fluoride added to the public water supply is virtually toxic, a wolf in the sheep’s garb of improved dental health.

---------------
Fluoride Treatment - Iodine 
While too much iodine is linked to hypothyroidism, so is too little. The good thing about iodine is that it increases urine irrigation of sodium fluoride as calcium fluoride. Although it does take some calcium with it (calling for an adjustment in diet or calcium supplementation), iodine and lecithin both remove fluoride from the body. You can place a quarter sized spot of Iodine on your skin, each day. Discontinue if you notice allergic reactions.

-----------
Tamarind 
Though originally from Africa, tamarind is a staple in Ayurvedic medicine that can be made into a tea or tincture that pushes fluoride out in urine.

-----------
Liver Cleanse
Because the liver is responsible for clearing toxins out of the body, it makes sense to go through a liver cleanse to detox from fluoride. You can do a standard cleanse at home over a week or so; just be sure to undergo a safe and trustworthy cleanse per instructions.
http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/cleansing/livatrex-liver-cleanse.html?a_aid=4ea8773c3570f&a_bid=b34c0bb2

If the cleanse is absolutely not for you (although you can read up on 5 reasons you should do it today), you can cleanse your liver daily with these liver cleansing foods. Cleansing the liver is essential for fluoride treatment.   http://naturalsociety.com/liver-cleansing-foods/

-----
Boron
The next time you’re shopping for laundry detergent, scoop up a box of Borox, which contains boron. Pour 1/32 of a teaspoon (up to ¼ teaspoon) into a liter of distilled water and sip it throughout the day. (Yes, this is safe.) Not only will the box last forever, you can use it to do some eco-friendly cleaning around the house, too.

-----------
Dry Saunas
Intense but safe sweating from heat as well as exercise brings out sodium fluoride from fatty tissues. Just be sure to keep hydrating—with distilled water—and to protect your kidneys with chickweed tea.

As with any kind of detox, use caution and go at the pace that feels good for you and your body. In addition to detoxing the fluoride out, you can also limit the amount of fluoride coming in by investing in a water system that filters out fluoride, such as a reverse osmosis water system.

10 Things Every American Should Know About Toxins In The Body

Toxins in the body
PHOTO BY https://www.flickr.com/photos/contactmywebmaster/5971369547/sizes/l/

By Ed Brown, Buzzworthy Blogs
Toxins in the body and chemical body burden are out of control in America. There are currently 82,000 synthetic chemicals in the foods we eat, the toys our children touch, the products we use to clean our homes, the air we breathe, and the cosmetics we apply to our skin — and only a fraction of these have ever been tested for safety.
What do we really know about how they affect our health?
Finding answers can be overwhelming. (That’s why I created the documentary Unacceptable Levels — about the chemicals in our bodies, how they got there, and what we can do about it.) toxins in the body
Here are 10 things every American should know about toxins and toxins in the body:

1. Uncontrollable Overload

Humans are exposed to chemicals through our food and air, the water we drink and bathe in, and the dust particles we handle or inhale. Scientists estimate that everyone alive today carries at least 700 contaminants within her body, most of which have never been well-studied. Personal care products alone often carry numerous highly toxic chemicals, including cadmium, mercury, aluminum, and lead.

2. Unacceptable Levels of Toxins in the Body

Governmental regulation agencies set “acceptable” exposure levels for toxic chemicals, but isn’t that a bit of an oxymoron? The levels are “acceptable” according to industry and regulatory standards. But we’re talking exposure to “acceptable levels” of toxic chemicals, which often interact with each other as they dance between the cells in our bodies. Is that ever taken into consideration?
 toxins in the body

3. Poisons Prevail

Most of us are unaware of the sheet number of toxins in the body. Chemical ‘body burden’ refers to the accumulation of synthetic chemicals found in pesticides, cosmetics, industrial solvents, and heavy metals. At any given time, hundreds of chemicals can be found in blood, urine, breast milk, and even umbilical fluid; before birth, people normally carry an immense body burden inherited from their mothers.
Scientists believe the typical human being hosts close to 500 chemicals in various compartments of the body, mostly in fatty tissue. Many chemicals are broken down in our bodies and their metabolites are eliminated, but others linger in our bodies for a lifetime and can increase our risk for certain diseases, such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease. toxins in the body
What does this mean for future generations?

4. Spike in Childhood Disease

Childhood disease is increasing exponentially. Cancer is the leading cause of death (after accidents) in children younger than 15 years old in the United States. About 10,450 children in the United States under age 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2014. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades.
Autism, meanwhile, now affects one in every 50 childrentoxins in the body
And in the last 20 years, there’s been a 300-percent increase in allergies, a 300-percent increase in asthma, and a 400-percent increase in ADHD. It would be foolish to think toxic chemicals are not involved.

5. Chemicals Are Big Business

More than 80,000 chemicals permitted for use in the United States have never been fully tested for toxicity to humans, let alone children or fetuses. toxins in the body
Perhaps that’s because the chemical industry remains the largest industry in the world, with more than $770 billion in annual sales and more than $39 billion in capital expenditures.
This means toxic chemical laws are more about protecting the chemical industry than they are about protecting public health.
U.S. lawmakers first created regulations for toxic chemicals back in 1976 with the Toxic Substances Control Act. No significant changes have been made since.
Recently, the U.S. House of Representative held a hearing on the Chemicals in Commerce Act, introduced in February to amend the outdated TSCA. The proposed Safe Chemicals Act, first introduced by Sen. Lautenberg in 2005, would replace the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 to essentially reverse the burden of proof on chemical safety.
Meanwhile, there are ways private citizens can help, including signing a petition to limit the number of toxins Americans are exposed to. Sign today, and say, “No more!” to toxic chemicals in pregnant women or our children.
 toxins in the body

6. High Cost of Disease

About $2.6 trillion of the Gross Domestic Product is spent on treating disease every year. One can’t help but wonder if there’s a direct correlation between our skyrocketing health-care costs and the onslaught of chemicals in our daily lives. What would happen if we spent that much on prevention?

 toxins in the body

7. Labels Reveal Truth

Many of us eat and drink chemicals every day. Artificial sweeteners, preservatives, nitrates, artificial colors, and MSG. If it’s processed, chances are it contains one or more of these ingredients: Sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate, for instance, are preservatives that are sometimes added to sodas to prevent mold growth, but benzene is a known carcinogen. Likewise, Butylated Hydroxynaisole is a preservative that’s potentially cancer-causing. One easy solution is to read labels; remember: if you don’t recognize an ingredient, don’t buy the food product.

8. Go Organic Whenever Possible

Would you spray a piece of fruit with Raid, then rinse it off and eat it? Probably not. And yet, many Americans continue eating processed foodstuffs because of a misperception that organic food is out of their budgets.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, however, organic food can be affordable. Factor in the potential health costs of processed and conventionally grown (Read: pesticide-rich) foods, and organic food doesn’t break the bank. Unfortunately, it’s not always available. Still, the good news is organic food is the fastest growing sector in the U.S. agriculture industry. If we continue to vote with our dollars, organic can become the norm.

9. Your Body Is a Temple

Your body is the biggest investment you will ever have in your life. We all know people who spend more time and money on their cars than they do their bodies. The fuel we put into our bodies will determine how well they perform and fight against the burden of chemicals. Putting more toxins in the body by eating chemical-doused foods can only spell D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R.

10. Vote with Your Dollars

Toxic chemicals are everywhere, but you can do something about it. Start with just one thing: change your personal care products; overhaul your diet by buying only organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed “foods” as much as possible; throw away your old household cleaning products and replace them with non-toxic ones. toxins in the body
What can we do?
We are all in this together. Around the world, in every single culture, every religion, every race, every age, every gender and every species, and yes, rich and poor alike – we’re all affected by toxic chemicals. toxins in the body
Moreover, many amazing organizations are working every day to help us in this challenge:

Americans have an amazing track record of facing and overcoming problems. If we educate ourselves and take action, we can make the planet safer for ourselves and our children.

Guanabana- the cancer killer big pharma doesn't want you to know about


cancer
(NaturalNews) Guanabana is known by a variety of names -- including soursop,
cherimoya, custard apple, Brazilian paw paw and graviola. However you recognize
this versatile tree, one aspect is clear: guanabana provides powerful relief
from a a wide scope of disease. Tackling cancer, herpes, parasites, infections
and more, guanabana is an important player in the battle against ill
health.



A natural, inexpensive and effective treatment for cancer -- and just about
everything else

Revered for centuries in South America and Southeast Asia,
the bark, leaves, root, seeds and fruit have been used to tame heart disease,
asthma, liver issues and arthritis. Guanabana is also helpful for treating sleep
disorders, fevers and cough. According to the article, "Guanabana--Medicinal
Uses?" extracts of the plant:

  • Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does
    not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss.
  • Protect the immune system.
  • Boost energy and outlook on life.
  • Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer --
    including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
  • Proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer
    cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug.
  • Selectively kill only cancer cells, unlike traditional chemotherapy
    treatments.
As far back as the 1970s, the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) investigated the merits of guanabana, and discovered
the stems and leaves of the tree were successful in destroying cancer cells.
"Inexplicably, the results [of the NCI research] were published in an internal
report and never released to the public. Since 1976, guanabana has proven to be
an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, but as of
now, no double-blind clinical trials," reports Christopher Lane, Ph.D., in
Psychology Today.

Moreover, this study
found that a compound derived from the leaves of guanabana was "selectively
cytotoxic for the lung (A-549), colon (HT-29), and pancreatic (PACA-2) cell
lines with potencies equal to or exceeding those of Adriamycin." And research in
the Journal of Natural Products discovered that extracts of
guanabana demonstrated pesticidal, antimalarial, antiviral and antimicrobial
properties. Likewise, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center states that
guanabana shows anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects in vitro and in
vivo.


How to reap the benefits of guanabana

If you would like to enjoy the
health-affirming perks of guanabana, making a tea from the leaves is a good
place to start. Select 2-3 leaves (either fresh or dried) and cut into small
pieces. Place in a heat-proof cup, add 1 1/2 cups boiling water, cover and steep
for 30-45 minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste with stevia or raw, local
honey.

*A word of caution: Excessive consumption of guanabana can lead to
neuronal dysfunction and degeneration with symptoms similar to Parkinson's
disease. Consult with a qualified practitioner before taking guanabana on a
daily basis.

Alert!! Soy Such a Risky Food to Eat?

Here is a summary of soy's most glaring problems.

  1. 91 percent of soy grown in the US is genetically modified (GM).
    The genetic modification is done to impart resistance to the toxic
    herbicide Roundup. While this is meant to increase farming efficiency and
    provide you with less expensive soy, the downside is that your soy is loaded
    with this toxic pesticide. The plants also contain genes from bacteria that
    produce a protein that has never been part of the human food supply.
    GM soy has been linked to an increase in allergies. Disturbingly, the
    only published human feeding study on GM
    foods ever conducted verified that the gene inserted into GM soy transfers
    into the DNA of our gut bacteria and continues to function
    . This
    means that years after you stop eating GM soy, you may still have a
    potentially allergenic protein continuously being produced in your
    intestines.


    Even more frightening is the potential for GM
    soy to cause infertility in future generations
    , which has been evidenced
    by recent Russian research.
  2. Soy contains natural toxins known as "anti-nutrients."
    Soy foods contain anti-nutritional factors such as saponins, soyatoxin,
    phytates, protease inhibitors, oxalates, goitrogens and estrogens. Some of
    these factors interfere with the enzymes you need to digest protein. While a
    small amount of anti-nutrients would not likely cause a problem, the amount
    of soy that many Americans are now eating is extremely high.
  3. Soy contains hemagglutinin.
    Hemagglutinin is a clot-promoting substance that causes your red blood
    cells to clump together. These clumped cells are unable to properly absorb
    and distribute oxygen to your tissues.
  4. Soy contains goitrogens
    Goitrogens are substances that block the synthesis of thyroid hormones
    and interfere with iodine metabolism, thereby interfering with your thyroid
    function.
  5. Soy contains phytates.
    Phytates (phytic acid) bind to metal ions, preventing the absorption of
    certain minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc -- all of
    which are co-factors for optimal biochemistry in your body. This is
    particularly problematic for vegetarians, because eating meat reduces the
    mineral-blocking effects of these phytates (so it is helpful—if you do eat
    soy—to also eat meat).
  6. Soy is loaded with the isoflavones genistein and
    daidzein

    Isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogen, which is a plant compound
    resembling human estrogen. These compounds mimic and sometimes block the
    hormone estrogen, and have been found to have adverse effects on various
    human tissues. Soy phytoestrogens are known to disrupt endocrine function,
    may cause infertility, and may promote breast cancer in women.


    Drinking even two glasses of soymilk daily for one month provides enough
    of these compounds to alter your menstrual cycle. Although the FDA regulates
    estrogen-containing products, no warnings exist on soy.
  7. Soy has toxic levels of aluminum and manganese
    Soybeans are processed (by acid washing) in aluminum tanks, which can
    leach high levels of aluminum into the final soy product. Soy formula has up
    to 80 times higher manganese than is found in human breast milk.
  8. Soy infant formula puts your baby's health at risk.
    Nearly 20 percent of U.S. infants are now fed soy formula, but the
    estrogens in soy can irreversibly harm your baby's sexual development and
    reproductive health. Infants fed soy formula take in an estimated five birth
    control pills' worth of estrogen every day.


    Infants fed soy formula have up to 20,000 times the amount of estrogen in
    circulation as those fed other formulas!
There is also the issue of pesticides
and genetic
modification
Soy foods are both
heavily sprayed with pesticides and genetically modified (GM). More than 80
percent of the soy grown in the United States is GM. And
more
than 90 percent of American soy crops are GM
Since the
introduction of GM foods in 1996, we've had an upsurge in low birth weight
babies, infertility, and other problems in the U.S. population, and
animal
studies thus far have shown devastating effects from consuming GM soy
You may
want to steer clear of soy products for no other reason than a commitment to
avoiding GM foods... unless you wish to be a lab animal for this massive
uncontrolled experiment by the biotech industry.

What Soy Products are Good For You?

I want to be clear that I am not opposed to all soy. Soy can be
incredibly healthful, but ONLY if it is organic and properly
fermented. After a long fermentation
process, the phytate and "anti-nutrient" levels of soybeans are reduced, and
their beneficial properties become available to your digestive
system. 
You may have heard that
Japanese people live longer and have lower rates of cancer than Americans
because they eat so much soy—but it's primarily
fermented soy that
they consume, and it's always been that way  
Fermented soy products are the only ones I recommend
consuming. 
These are the primary
fermented soy products you'll find:



  • Tempeh a fermented soybean cake with a firm texture and
    nutty, mushroom-like flavor.
  • Miso, a fermented soybean paste with a salty, buttery
    texture (commonly used in miso soup).
  • Natto, fermented soybeans with a sticky texture and
    strong, cheese-like flavor.
  • Soy sauce, which is traditionally made by fermenting
    soybeans, salt and enzymes; be wary because many varieties on the market
    today are made artificially using a chemical process.
Please note that tofu is NOT on this list. Tofu is not fermented, so is not
among the soy foods I recommend.

Vitamin K2: One of the Major Benefits of Fermented Soy

One of the main benefits of fermented soy, especially natto, is that it is
the best food source of vitamin
K2
. Vitamin K2 is essential to preventing osteoporosis, cardiovascular
disease, and diseases of the brain such as dementia, and protecting you from
various cancers including prostate, lung, liver cancer and
leukemia. Vitamin K acts synergistically
with
vitamin
D
to keep you healthy. Vitamin K is sometimes referred to as the "forgotten
vitamin" because its benefits are often overlooked. It was named after the
word "Koagulation," to reflect its essential role in blood clotting. In fact,
the enzyme
nattokinase—derived from natto—is safer and more powerful than
aspirin in dissolving blood clots, and has been used safely for more than 20
years.



If you enjoy natto or some of the other fermented soy foods, you can get
several milligrams of vitamin K2 from them each day (this level far exceeds
the amount of vitamin K2 found even in dark green vegetables). Unfortunately, the health benefits of many of the
fermented soy foods fall by the wayside because many Americans do not enjoy
their flavor. 
If you don't want to
consume natto to get your vitamin K2, the next best thing would be to get use
supplemental
Vitamin K2 (MK-7). Remember, vitamin K must be taken with a source of
fat in order to be absorbed. 
I
suggest adults consume about 150 mcg of vitamin K2
daily.

Tips for Avoiding Unwanted Soy Foods

For a simple rule of thumb, just remember that unless soy is fermented
(tempeh, miso, natto, or traditionally made soy sauce), you're better off
avoiding it.


Soy foods to avoid include:


Tofu


TVP (texturized vegetable protein) or soy protein isolate, which contains a
large amount of msg,
which you should definitely not consume


  • Soybean
    oil
  • Soymilk
  • Soy cheese, soy ice cream, soy yogurt
  • Soy "meat" (meatless products made of TVP)
  • Soy protein
  • Edamame
  • Soy infant formula
The best way to eliminate non-fermented soy from your diet is to avoid
all processed foods
and instead purchase whole foods that you prepare
yourself. If you do buy packaged foods, you
can check the label to see if it contains soy. The Food Allergen Labeling and
Consumer Protection Act, which took effect in January 2006, requires that food
manufacturers list soy on the label, because it's one of the top eight food
allergens. 
So, even if soy is hidden
in colors, flavors, or spice blends added to foods, it must be clearly stated
on the label.



One other common source of soy is lecithin which is used as a emulsifier in
many foods and supplements. Most lecithin in the US is derived from soy but
there are some newer products that extract it from organic sunflower. We
switched over to the organic sunflower lecithin a few years ago in all of our
products.


If you wish to know more about soy, I have provided a list of links below
to the many articles I've posted over the years on this subject. Remember, the
only way to avoid falling victim to shrewd marketing and misinformation is to
become knowledgeable about what the research actually says, and this is often
different from what is commonly passed around as "fact."
