Editor’s Comments: Today is the 2 year 4 month anniversary of Professional American Football player Gaines Adams’ death by cardiac arrest. He died because he was healthy on the outside but unhealthy on the inside. An autopsy also showed that he had an enlarged heart which was most probably due to the amount of work it had to do to keep the blood pumping through the clogged arteries he had; further, the amount of exercise he must have put his heart through because of training most probably had participated in enlarging the heart. There may be such as thing is too much exercise. All good things must be done in moderation; there is no moderation of bad things: small doses of bad things do small doses of damage… large doses of bad things in effect cause large damage. 

(ESPN Chicago) Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died Sunday morning of cardiac arrest, the Greenwood, S.C., county coroner said. He was 26.

Greenwood County coroner James T. Coursey told ESPN that Adams, a Greenwood native, was taken to the emergency room at Self Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9 a.m.

Adams, who had just completed his third season in the NFL, went into cardiac arrest at his family’s home early Sunday morning, said Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County.

The autopsy showed Adams had an enlarged heart, a condition Kelley-Clark said can often lead to a heart attack. But Adams’ relatives didn’t know about it.

(Infowars.com) Monsanto has recently been noted as one of the key power players in the welfare of people across the country, continually extending their influence to the more remote parts of the world as well. Monsanto has also been engineering extensively genetically modified crops for the past several decades, and now finally has a type of soybean crop that can survive sustained pesticide exposure – for maximum insect control of course.

What seems to be a positive situation is actually a mostly dangerous toxic product; made specifically to deflect the harmful effects of the pesticides and weed killers on the growing plants, the Roundup Ready crops are recognized as the root cause of disease and discontent spread upon the Argentinean mass growing plains known as the Pampas. There was a time when the Pampas were littered with small farms, but ever since Monsanto hit the scene, the Pampas have been a major GMO growing operation.

Editor’s Comments: Here is another example of how athletes are not necessarily healthy: Darryl Kile died of clogged arteries at the age of 33. Proper fuel (food) also contributes to a healthy human organism; simply put, exercise is only a co-factor to real optimal health.

(CNNSI.com) On Friday night, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile went to dinner in Chicago with his brother Dan and a group of Dan’s friends. By 10 p.m. the 33-year-old Kile had returned to the Cardinals’ team hotel, the Westin Michigan Avenue.

He was scheduled to start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Sunday night, and he presumably settled into his corner suite on the 11th floor of the hotel to rest up for his regular between-starts routine the next day.

“Fit” and dead from clogged arteries at 33 101 Health Steps

This article will explain how fitness is a co-factor to health. The reason for sickness will be explained using examples from studies used during the Korean war as well as examples of current sport athletes’ heart attacks in the football world. At the end, a conclusion will suggest the consequences.

It is commonly understood that fitness is the end all to health; however, if this is the case, why are so many pro athletes dying and still subjected to illnesses? If it were true, why would early stages of heart disease be found in “healthy and fit” soldiers dated back to the Korean war (Study can be found in The China Study by Campbell C), further, in modern day pro football athletes such as Fabrice Muamba (documented by The Guardian) and Nigerian footballer Bobsam Elejiko (reported by the BBC). In addition, if sports is the key to health, how could diseases be named after athletes such as the baseball player Lou Garrents who has been given the honour of having a disease named after him due to his development a the disease doctors knew nothing about and yet named. How can athletes get sick? Fitness is king according to most people these days.

A theory why athletes get sick, supported by research knowledge in the referenced study above, is because they are sick due to their lifestyle. Sickness does not happen overnight, in most cases, unless you get poison ivy or something of the like. Sickness develops. The very common saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” has obvious meaning when we look at pro athletes that die or get heart attacks suddenly. This phrase is absolutely perfect to describe the physique of an athlete while not seeing what is or has developed inside.

In November of 2011, a 30-year old professional footballer died on a football pitch during a game. We are talking about a young, “healthy,” and “fit” individual. Bobsam Elejiko was at the top of his game. Studies found in books such as Campbell’s The China Study makes if very easy to understand why Elejiko died so prematurely.

The following article comes from The Guardian. The article talks about how Fabrice Muamba died and was revived after 15 shocks. It is a good think the doctors did not quit at fourteen. Forty eight minutes later Muamba regained his life and is apparently recovering well, however, still living the way he always has which may lead him back to the same situation again. If the cause is not addressed, the symptoms will return with a vengeance. It is inevitable. Studies found in The China Study, by Campbell C, clearly and remarkably relate diet to effects such as heart attacks.

It is quite clear that individuals that believe that fitness is health may want to re-analyse their theory because the facts are simply not in their favor.

In short, the consequences are quite clear for those who ignore diet and mental/ emotional factors when it comes to health. If pro athletes are dying, what would that mean for the average individual? Could we be seeing the results in the annual statistics of heart disease and cancer soaring to new record highs in all countries?

Fit and dying: Fitness is a co-factor not the solution 101 Health Steps

This brief article will explain why eating fruit after exercise is the best thing to do.

Fruit is the best thing to eat after exercise. The reason why fruit is the best thing to eat after exercise is because it is the fastest way to put back sugar into your blood stream and muscles.

Other types of food is bad in comparison. Other types of food is bad in comparison is because other types of food takes hours or even several hours to absorb into the blood stream. Other food, other than fruit, takes a long time to absorb and assimilate. This occurs because other types of food digests in the stomach which is a long process. Further, other food are usually complex such as complex carbohydrates (ie. rice and noodles), which have to be converted to simple sugars before they are absorbed and assimilated into the body.

Fruit takes sometimes minutes, depending on the volume, and digests, absorbs, and assimilates in the small intestine. This is because fruit are already in a simple sugar form and do not require converting from a complex form as other types of food to start doing its job of refueling the blood stream and the muscles.

The most important time to eat is after exercise within one hour or two. This is an important time-line because it is the only time that the body is absorbing sugar at double the speed in order to replenish the lost sugar from the exercise.

In short, it is quite clear that fruit is ideal as a source of replenishing sugars after exercise for optimal function.

Many people are convinced that vinegar is a health food, and people drink vinegar with the expectation to help their health. However, vinegar is not the missing link to good health according to science.

Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, enzymes, co-enzymes, electrolytes, fatty acids, and anti-oxidants are what the body needs for optimal health and function. Vinegar does not contain any of those nutrients. However, vinegar goes fall into the protoplasmic poison category.

Vinegar is a protoplasmic poison: it kills all cells on contact, and there is no discussion on that because it is a fact based on research knowledge and practical knowledge of science (Ref. Victoria Bidwell). The only reason that damage is minimized is because of the mucus membrane that lines the digestive system; it protects the body.

Vinegar is so strong that it will clean the caked on dirt on stainless steel simply by sitting in vinegar: it will eat the stains that cannot be scrubbed with a sponge. What do you think that kind of potency would do on the stomach and other organs it comes into contact with?

Vinegar is very, very good for cleaning clothes, floors, and toilets. It will also kill bugs in your home.

In short, keep vinegar out of your body because it is far from a health food and as potent as harsh cleaners. Sickness is not a deficiency of vinegar. If the body is given the nutrients (mentioned above) through a plant-based diet, it will stay healthy for more years that the mind can imagine. A deficiency of nutrients is the answer not vinegar. Nutrients from a whole, raw, plant-based diet is what keeps the body in order and addresses the cause of all disease.

(101 Health Steps) This article will discuss three main topics relating to vomiting: The article  will first talk about what people usually do. Second, it will explain the meaning of vomiting. Finally, it will have suggestions for people wanting a remedy for vomiting.

Usually, when people vomit, they go to the hospital or take gravel which is a drug that stops vomiting, and these options are not so good. Going to the hospital will lead to drug use only. A deficiency of drugs is not the cause of the vomiting.

Vomiting means that the body is rejecting the substances that has been consumed. The body is as wise as nature itself. The body knows what to do and how to do it and is capable assuming it is given the equipment to do so (equipment such as nutrients, sleep, rest, water, and the list goes on). If the body is rejecting “food” it would not make much sense to eat at this time because the body is quite clearly expressing that it does not want anything in the stomach. The cause could be a number of things caused by a build up of things. Some of these things could be food poisoning or just poisoning of some sort. The build up mentioned could be a life time build up of the wrong lifestyle choices such as the wrong choices of food, drink, or thoughts.

The remedy to vomiting is quite simple. It is simply because all one has to do is nothing (rest is thought of as nothing). The body requires rest: physiological, emotional, and physical. This means that the human organism must try to sleep as much as possible and at the least lay down in a meditation-like state. In order to get blood to the head, the elimination of a pillow may help because if the head is popped up with a pillow, it will be more difficult for the blood to go against gravity to get to the brain (head). If the individual becomes hungry, water should be enough; however, if it is not enough, coconut water has a lot of nutrients; further, it does not require energy from the body to digest, absorb or assimilate. If the body still feels as though it needs food, fruit would be the only type of food recommended.

In short, all that is being highlighted here is that the individual that is vomiting must rest on all levels, so the body can do what it needs to do to correct the cause.

(101 Health Steps) This brief article will examine what people with high blood pressure (HBP) usually do, followed by what the cause is, and then explaining the remedy. The conclusion will make a prediction.

When people have HBP, they usually go see a medical doctor (MD) which results in drug use. MDs in school learn how to drug, cut (surgery), and burn (radiate) because that is all they learn in their years of training.

When people have HBP, the do not address the cause when they go to the hospital because the MD is not taught to focus on the cause as mentioned in the previous paragraph. The cause of HBP is not a deficiency of drugs.

The cause of HBP is fundamental and very easy to explain. When people eat food that is high in cholesterol, the cholesterol begins to block the arteries.

Because it is difficult for the blood to pass through when the arteries become full of cholesterols, the pressure of the blood goes up in order to ensure that the blood gets to where it is needed. The body is saving the human organism from death in its wisdom.

To repair HBP is quite simple. By giving the body a chance to remove the cholesterol while eliminating the addition of more cholesterol will do the trick. This is accomplished by eliminating the consumption of cholesterol foods from the diet: All animal and oil in a diet is cholesterol building. In addition, eating foods that encourage metabolic enzyme production, such as raw, whole fruits and leafy green vegetables, will allow the body to repair.

As a result, giving the body what it needs and asks for is the solution for eliminating HBP, which is simply an eating disorder as understood by the findings above.

Cholesterol Explained

(101 Health Steps) This article will discuss cholesterol: how to avoid, reduce, and eliminate it from your body. Some of the points that will be covered include: explaining what cholesterol is at a very basic level, where it comes from, why more people have high levels these days, how to reduce it, and how doctors address this issue.

There has been a rise in talk about this thing called cholesterol and a lot of people do not know what it means. Simply put, it is something necessary for the body; however, the body can produce its own, so outside sources of cholesterol is not necessary. In circulation is the idea that there are good and bad cholesterol, but in fact, the bad is actually necessary, so it can not be that bad. Cholesterol is something that simply requires balance and moderation. Both the “good” and “bad” cholesterol, formally known as high and low density cholesterol, plays its part in the world inside the body.

Where is cholesterol from? It has already been explained above that the best source comes from the bodies own production; however, today the majority of cholesterol now comes from what people choose to eat in this day and age. The source that contains cholesterol in people’s meal is from animals in their meals. Outside sources of cholesterol comes from an animal-based diet. Plants or plant-based diets do not contain cholesterol (in comparison). Additionally oil is also a source of cholesterol. Every time fried products are consumed cholesterol is consumed.

People these days have record high levels of cholesterol. Academics such as Colin Campbell, PhD, from Cornell University suggest total cholesterol of 150 is ideal because no one has ever had a heart attack below this level of cholesterol in a body. People have so much cholesterol these days because people eat more fried food and animal products than ever before and that is as simple as it gets. The consumption of animal products has increase as has cholesterol levels in the population in our society.

Reducing cholesterol is quite easy if all one did were to eliminating it from their meals. As explained above, an increase in animals and oil causes an increase in total cholesterol, so a decrease of animals and oil would do the same and also decrease. Dr. MacDougal, a successful doctor using these strategies, has had remarkable results using this research and practical knowledge. He is a very successful, renowned doctor in this dietary concept. Basically, if people simply stop including animals and oil, cholesterol will cease to be an issue and so will the possibilities of a heart attack.

Doctors say drugs, of course they do, because that is their product, their business, their education. They spend years learning about drugs and surgery. Why and how would they suggest anything else? Have you been to an Apple store and they recommended Samsung? Their survival depends on your choice of their products.

Doctors and their drugs are wonderful when they are truly needed. In such cases as emergencies, but the problem is that their drubs when used to deal with situations such s high cholesterol, become ignorant to the cause of the issue. Drugs are not the missing nutrient or the factor that addresses the cause. It simply keeps the cause alive while focusing on the effects. Drugs give the impression that the problems are being addressed when it obviously is not because the cause is the individual’s dietary choices. This illogical theory of addressing this, and any other, health issue simply requires some attention and re-evaluation.

In short, we have seen an increase in animals in our diet, as well as an increase in cholesterol. If this continues more people will suffer this unnecessary fate, take unnecessary drugs and experience the side effects, and lifelessness. To sum up, we know where we get our high cholesterol from and what needs to be done. As a result, we can now make a difference in our lives, or not. It is clear that diet directly effects cholesterol. As a solution, we need to teach ourselves to reduce animals and oil in our diet until it is eliminated and increase our fruit and vegetable consumption, before it is too late. Our lives depend on it.

(101 Health Steps) This article will explain what happens when individuals eat fruit at the end of their day. And that is a day of eating “normal meals” – Today’s Standard Diet (TSD).

Fruit is the number one source of vitamins and the number two source of minerals. Digestion of fruit takes place in the small intestine, not in the stomach, so the fruit has to get to the small intestine as quickly as possible, so that the digestion of fruit can take place, and the nutrients can absorb and assimilate.

If fruit is detained in the stomach, it will start to rot and ferment, which means it will turn into alcohol, acetic acid (the 5% found in vinegar), carbon dioxide and water. This occurs if there is something digesting in the stomach (from TSD) upon the arrival of the fruit.

The food from the previous meals of the day (TSD) are usually the types of food that takes hours to days to digest, which means the fruit cannot pass through and thus begins the fermenting process in the stomach.

Ideally, fruit should be eaten in the early parts of the day to avoid fermentation (for those on TSD), and fruit should be avoided after a TSD meal of complex carbohydrates or high fat/protein.

(Natural Society) Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used chemical substance. This chemical exists in nearly every plastic container, is used as lining for metal cans, and can even be found on receipts, toilet paper and worldwide currency.

BPA leaches from its container into whatever it happens to contain. If you microwave a TV dinner for example, the chemical content of the plastic container would find its way into the food you are going to eat. Likewise, when bottled water or a soft drink is manufactured and shelved, BPA leaches into the liquid over the time it takes to be purchased and consumed.

Because of its widespread application in all forms of packaging, manufacturing and otherwise, chances are that you are somehow interacting with this substance on a daily basis. Many other countries have already declared BPA a toxin and prohibited its usage in a number of products.

BPA’s Role in Disease

BPA is an endocrine disruptor. It mimics the natural hormones produced by your body, specifically estrogen. When your body interacts with BPA, it delivers an estrogen-mimicking effect. This is known to lead to a host of health problems including infertility, cancer, weight gain and more. This hormonal interference may also be responsible for accelerating puberty and altering the growth of children, causing hormonal confusion.

Many studies suggest a widespread range of additional effects, including altered immune function, neurological and behavior problems, heart disease, and diabetes. Even low levels of exposure can cause adverse effects on health. Its been stated that 95% of paper money has been found to contain BPA, which means that an equally large fraction of individuals worldwide have at some point been exposed to this chemical at least from touching it on a regular basis.

What is more dangerous is that due to its use in food preservation, many people are unwittingly consuming this harmful chemical, which is much worse than topical exposure. The widespread effects of BPA are being increasingly recognized throughout the world. Despite this, once its presence in society is removed, one can expect the number of health issues associated to vanish alongside it.

What is BPA and am I exposed to it? 101 Health Steps

Editor’s Note:  An article published on Mail Online notifies us that vitamin D is a very important part of our life, and how it is important that children (people) obtain vitamin D. The best source of this comes from the sun (Something the article below fails to expand on). However, it does suggest that individuals that do not go outside for enough sunshine eat food that contains vitamin D such as fish oil. The problem with this solution is that fish oil is 100% fat and is an isolated nutrient, which is very dangerous because they are designed to work with other nutrients and are a hazard if taken other than whole. It is important that children (people) acquire vitamin directly from the sun during the best times of the day for any human organism to absorb nutrients from the sun: before 10am and after 4pm. These times of the day are when the sun has to start cutting through more atmosphere. Twenty to sixty minutes a day is ample amount of sun sourced vitamin D for you and your child. Sunblock blocks vitamin D. Vitamin D is what enables other nutrients to function properly (nutrients function similarly to a symphony). The article mentions how “experts” recommend that supplements be administered; however, stronger research proves against this recommendation and for individuals to stick with the sun to acquire vitamin D. The article below also highlights the fact that more and more people are  vitamin D deficient, and this is due to the recent fear of the sun by PR that promote products for financial gain as well as the poor diet most people have these days.  This problem of vitamin deficient would disappear if individuals would only go outside as they were designed to do. To address the worries of damage from the sun on the skin, how would we explain the millions of years our specie has evolved outdoors? The reason for the recent issues (besides corporate PR) is that our diets are void of the nutrients the body requires to protect us from the sun (similar to drowning: water is health but too much will drown us).  [This note covers the main points, and it is actually unnecessary to read the article below.]

(Mail Online) A quarter of all toddlers in the UK are lacking Vitamin D, according to research.

Despite a recommendation that all children under five should take Vitamin D supplements, 74 per cent of parents know nothing about the guidelines. And more than half of health professionals are also unaware of them.

Vitamin D supplements are also recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeders and the elderly.

Dr Benjamin Jacobs, consultant paediatrician at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, described the vitamin deficiency issue as a ‘major problem’.

He told BBC Breakfast: ‘We see about one case of rickets a month in our hospital, but that’s the very severe end of the disease.

‘There are many other children who have less severe problems – muscle weakness, delay in walking, bone pains – and research indicates that in many parts of the country the majority of children have a low level of Vitamin D.’

He explained that Vitamin D was found to prevent rickets about 100 years ago when most children in London suffered from the disease – it was later eradicated.

But then, in the 1950s, there was concern that children were getting too much Vitamin D in food supplements and cod liver oil, so supplements were stopped. This was unlike in other Western countries where they continued.

Dr Jacobs said: ‘We thought they were unnecessary, possibly harmful, and that was a major mistake.’

He said parents are largely unaware of the risk of the condition, while health professionals are often taught that rickets is a disease of the past.

‘It’s really only over the past 10 years or so that I’ve noticed children with Vitamin D deficiency. And still I would say today, the majority of doctors, health visitors, midwives, nurses, are not aware enough of the problem,’ he said.

Asked about how vulnerable people can be given more Vitamin D, Dr Jacobs said current guidelines suggest taking drops or tablets, but experts are also looking into food supplementation.

He said it would not be harmful if people ended up with too much Vitamin D in their diet.

Vitamin D’s effect on your children walking early 101 Health Steps

(Activist Post) We are all unwillingly exposed to a range of cancer-causing chemicals and substances every day. One substance that the globalists and government don’t want you know about that could be causing you considerable harm and health problems is aluminium.

The fact is most people are exposed to aluminium on a daily basis. Very little is publicized about the risks and dangers of being exposed to aluminium, and most of us are unaware of how many common products use aluminium as a medium of storage or control.

New research published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology has revealed that long-term exposure of MCF-10A human mammary epithelial cells to aluminium results in anchorage-independent growth, a key hallmark of cultured tumour cells and of cells on the way to malignant transformation. This study also found that shorter (7 days) exposure to aluminium results in diminished cell numbers owing to cellular senescence.

A commonly used household product that contains aluminium is deodorant (antiperspirants). The aluminium contaminant found in most antiperspirants is Aluminium Chlorohydrate. A 1990 study discovered an association between exposure to aluminium and long-term use of antiperspirants and Alzheimer’s disease. Observations made indicated a trend toward a higher risk with increasing frequency of use. [1]

Due to the ease of Aluminium being absorbed through the skin in the daily application of antiperspirants containing high concentrations of aluminium, this type of exposure can increase the risks of being exposed to Aluminium Chlorohydrate well above what would be considered normal.

The effect of aluminium on cellular proliferation and cellular senescence is strikingly similar to that of activated oncogenes, which increases DSBs and cellular senescence by inducing proliferation stress when transfected into normal cells. The study found this effect surprising for aluminium, present in antiperspirants at high concentrations because, presumably, it is considered harmless for the breast area. In contrast to gallium and indium which belong to the same group as aluminium in the Mendeleev Table, they did not induce anchorage-independent growth in MCF-10A cells, showing that the effects reported in this study are specific for aluminium. [2]

Although most of us are exposed to aluminium at home, many are exposed to aluminium during the production of aluminium products. Aluminium production and metalworking industries have shown consistent elevated risks for pancreatic cancer [3]. In Canada, the mortality of a large group of men employed in aluminium production using the Söderberg process was examined between 1950 and 1977, and compared with the pertinent rates for the Province of Quebec. Workers exposed to condensed pitch volatiles exhibited significantly increased mortality from all cancers (304 observed, 246.6 expected), and from esophageal and stomach cancer (50 observed, 32.8 expected), lung cancer (101 observed, 70.7 expected) and other malignancies (60 observed, 45.3 expected) [4]. 

Other Products That Contain Aluminium

The number of products that contain aluminium is unbelievable. The globalists and the government don’t want you to know what products contain aluminium. So why are the government and the globalists not advising you, the consumer, of the risks of using products that contain aluminium? The only logical reasons I can think of would be because many of the globalists have vested interests in organisations that produce profitable products that contain aluminium, and the government is reaping millions of dollars in tax from the purchase of products that contain aluminium.  The following is a list of household products that the globalists and the government don’t want you to know that contain aluminium.

• Antiperspirants
• Antacids
• Many body lotions and creams
• Most cosmetics
• Shampoos and conditioners
• Soaps
• Suntan lotions
• Lip Balm
• Processed cheese
• Baking powder
• Cake mix
• Frozen dough
• Pancake mix
• Self-raising flour
• Pickled vegetables.

Also, the following food additives contain aluminium compounds. They are E173, E520, E521, E523 E541, E545, E554, E555 E556 and E559.

Aluminium salts are also found in many common medicines.

• Antacids
• Anti-diarrhea products
• Anti-hemorrhoid preparations.
• Vaccines

Please note, if your doctor has prescribed the above three medicines, please do not discontinue using them. Speak to your doctor at your next appointment and ask if there are any suitable alternatives. 

Other Risks

The risk of developing breast cancer from excessive use of aluminium is also evident. A study published in 2003 by the European Journal of Cancer Prevention found a correlation between earlier diagnosis of breast cancer and antiperspirant deodorant use (5). A 2003 study also indicated “underarm shaving with antiperspirant deodorant use may play a role in breast cancer [5].

Thankfully, the link between breast cancer and aluminium is not conclusive and still needs considerable research to be conducted. A 2004 study reviewing the evidence for and against the possible link between breast cancer and underarm cosmetics wrote “Although animal and laboratory studies suggest a possible link between certain chemicals used in underarm cosmetics and breast cancer development, there is no reliable evidence that underarm cosmetics use increases breast cancer risk in humans [6]. 

Symptoms of Overexposure to Aluminium

The fundamental problem we all face is that the many symptoms of aluminium poisoning are usually associated with other illnesses. This therefore poses a risk to the identification and causes of many illnesses. Symptoms of over exposure to aluminium can be:

(Natural News) The US food supply is riddled with petroleum-based, artificial food dyes and synthetic chemical pesticides, both of which have been linked to causing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other behavioral problems in children. So in order to avoid them, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) is urging parents to shop certified organic, as this is the only food category that is designed to be free of these harmful toxins.

A 2007 study conducted by researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK is what initially prompted a review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) into the safety ofartificial foodcolors and pesticides. That study found a direct correlation between consumption of artificial additives and a spike in ADHD rates among children (http://www.medpagetoday.com/Psychiatry/ADHD-ADD/6610).

In 2008, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) also petitioned the FDA to ban nine specific color additives used in the UK study that were linked to causing problems. Though CSPI has not always shown favor to thenaturalhealth industry, including in 2010 when the organization made proposals that threatened freedom of health speech (http://www.naturalnews.com/028114_CSPI_supplements.html), its efforts to eliminate harmfulfooddyes are noteworthy.

Another study published in the journalPediatricsfound thatexposureto common organophosphatepesticidesat typical levels is associated with higher levels of ADHD in children (http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/peds.2009-3058v1). This study prompted the 2010 US President’s Cancer Panel Report to make suggestions that consumers avoid conventionalfoodsand choose only those grown without the use of chemical pesticides, growth hormones, and other synthetic additives.

“Organic food production and processing represent the only system that uses certification and inspection to verify that synthetic food dyes andchemicalsare not used,” said Christine Bushway, OTA’s Executive Director and CEO. “Those seeking to minimize their exposure to these chemicals can look for the USDA Organic label wherever they buy food.”

Food dyes linked to cancer: Report 101 Health Steps

(Infowars & Natural News) Aluminum Lake food coloring, used to heavily coat liquid medicines for children, contains dangerous amounts of aluminum and harmful synthetic petrochemicals. These “petrochemicals” are carcinogens containing petroleum, antifreeze and ammonia, which cause a long list of adverse reactions. Aluminum poisoning can lead to short and long term central nervous system (CNS) damage, such asmemory impairments, autism, epilepsy, mental retardation, and dementia.

Research shows that just 4ppm of aluminum can cause the blood to coagulate. This is what causes Alzheimer’s Disease and has been documented to inhibit learning. Aluminum consumption can also be associated with the development of bone disorders, including stress fractures.

Also known as tartrazine, FD&C Yellow Aluminum Lake is a chemical concoction derived from coal tar. It is known to be a reproductive toxin. All artificial colors contain Aluminum Lake, so when your child gets to pick between red, blue or green medicine, they’re really choosing which poison they get to consume. Several chemically enhanced food colorings contain ammonia and therefore produce compounds proven to cause various cancers in animal studies, according to CSPI, the Center for Science in the Public Interest. (http://www.cspinet.org/reports/chemcuisine.htm)

Most widely used food colors and their damaging actions:

•Blue #1: Research shows it causes kidney tumors in mice.

•Blue #2: Research shows even higher incidence of tumors, specifically gliomas in male rates (a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine).

•Red #2: Toxic to rodents, even at modest levels, and causes tumors of the bladder.

•Red #3: FDA recognized it in 1990 as a cause of thyroid cancer in animals. It was banned in cosmetics, but still allowed in food and medicine.

•Red #40: Most popular dye of all. Debilitates the immune-system in mice. Allergic reactions common.

•Green #3: Causes bladder and testes tumors.

•Yellow #5: Affects behavior andinducessevere hypersensitivity reactions.

•Yellow #6: Causes adrenal tumors in animals.

The following is taken directly from FDA’s Regulatory Process and Historical Perspectives: “Color additives are important components of many products, making them attractive, appealing, appetizing, and informative. Added color serves as a kind of code that allows us to identify products on sight, like candy flavors and medicine dosages.” Really?! Decoding medicine dosages on sight?

There has been a 55% increase in U.S. toxic food dyes just since the year 2000. There are over 15 million pounds of dyes put in foods, drinks, candy and medicine every year, and the FDA does nothing to protect consumers from the colorful barrage of poison. (http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/artificial-food-colors.htm)

Studies reveal that children have consumed as much as three pounds of dye by the age of twelve

Here are some popular product and “brand” names you may mistake as exempt products: RD&C dyes and colors in baked goods, beverages, candy, cereal, drugs, pet food, personal care products, cosmetics, cough syrups, NyQuil,Tylenol, Robitussin,Jello, gelatins, Cheetos, Skittles, Fruity Pebbles, Marachino cherries, sausage, Mountain Dew, Doritos, chewing gum, and powdered drink mixes.

American companies doing business in Europe currently have to change their products to natural colorings to meet European Union strict regulations. The FDA’s rationale is that because artificial food colorings are used mainly in foods and medicines of low or no nutritional value, that the American public should “already be aware” of health implications, so it doesn’t matter if other toxins are added.

What are your options as opposed to poisonous medicines? Consult a naturopath (ND) for advice on ingredients in food and medicine.

Medicine laced with brain-damaging aluminum for you and your children 101 Health Steps

(101 Health Steps) If you are one of those people that are strange because they care about their health, this article is for you. Supporting arguments for the health extremists will be presented for your own personal knowledge.

“You are one of them!” I am sure you have heard this before, correct? My answer is, “Yes, I am. I am one of those strange people that cares about their health and wish to stay healthy and not follow the disease trends of our society, and you must be one of them! You must be one of those individuals that finds the removal of body parts, the consumption of toxins (also known as drugs, to further destroy your body), and the addition of radiation to the body to be normal and fun.”

Some might say that removing the penis’ ability to function in order to remove prostate cancer to be extreme, and some might say that eating fruits and a pound of greens a day in order to reverse or avoid prostate cancer to be extreme. Who is correct? Both parties are correct because that is what they think.

Most of the time the individual that is not following the rest of the sheeple(sic) is repremanded because they are not following the rest of the sheeple(sic). Anything that is not “normal” is seen as extreme; however, if logic and rational thinking were introduced into society via education, things would be very different today.

How about breast cancer? Is it not extreme to remove a breast for the sake of avoiding breast cancer? This is exactly what people are doing! Is eating fruits and a pound of greens on a daily basis to avoid or reverse breast cancer really extreme compared to cutting off a part of the anatomy that was designed to be there in the first place?

Paragraph 6: I know what the masses are thinking; they are thinking, “fruit and a pound of greens on a daily basis will not reverse or prevent [breast] cancer.”

This is what I am thinking, “how can you judge a concept without doing research or testing out the concept to the fullest of their ability?”

How about acne? Acne is the effect of the organs (filters such as liver and kidney) being too toxicated to take on any more poisons that the body has to resort to the skin (the biggest organ the body has) to remove toxins. How can we get rid of acne? EASY! Stop adding toxins and give your body the chance to eliminate the current toxins. The moment this occurs, the skin will clear up. (Refer back to paragraph 6)

This article could go on and on, but it would have to name the 10,000+ diseases; However, you name the disease or health issue, the cause is all the same: living life against the law of nature. You are not special because you have a disease, you are special because you created and can eliminated the disease.

When people tell you that you are extreme, understand the above and be at peace, and if you feel the need, give them some examples that hit them at home with their own personal health issues: it could be the headaches they get on a regualar basis or the fatigue. What ever the case may be, give your message with empathy: it is not their fault – they are fighing the PR departments and society that they blindly follow.

Embrace being ‘extreme’ with your health because you are the-normal (sic): everyone else is the norm.

Why buying domestic products is healthy 101 Health Steps

(101 Health Steps) Natural sodium, found in food, is not at all similar to sodium chloride (salt), and this is a major common misunderstanding. The human organism does not need sodium chloride at all, it needs sodium found in fruits and vegetables.

However, sodium chloride does have similarities to cyanide and arsenic because it is also a protoplasmic poison, which means that it kills cells on contact by disrupting the cells integrity – all 75 trillion.

Eliminating sodium chloride (salt) from your diet will especially be beneficial for those with edema and high b lood pressure, obesity, and hypertention. The list goes much longer than the one mentioned, and it could be stated that most illnesses are affected by sodium chloride in their diet.

A healthy individual would regect salt in a diet via vomitting or diarrhea; however, an unhealthy person does not have the energy to do this, so their body must deal with it in other ways.

The body reacts to the salt as it would any poison. Salt does not retain water in the body; the body dilutes the salt in order to reduce the damages caused by the salt. Further, it stores it somewhere where damage can be deferred to a later date with hopes that the body will have the ability to eliminate it before further damaged it caused.

According to findings by Victoria Bidwell in her book THE HEALTH SEEKERS’ YEARBOOK, “one ounce of ingested salt holds 3 quarts of water – or 6 pounds of excess bodily water and fluid – in suspension. Consider… an ounce of salt in the body will “seize and hold” 3 quarts of water. This means that… salt holds 70 tims its weight in water!!!”

Putting salt on a wound will show any individual how the body reacts to salt.

Salt is addictive and come with withdrawal symptoms when the human organism tries to eliminate it from the diet.

Biochemistry tells us that sodium chloride separates into individual ions in the body. After the stomach does what it can, it sends the sodium and chloride to the liver then kidneys because those organs can only do so much. Finally, a large amount of water molecules are used to surround each of these now two damaging ions in a stored area of the body. This build up of water molecules is why individuals with a lot of salt in safe storage have swollen legs, hands, feel, and puffy eyes.

Moreover, potassium is quickly lost in the urine to offset the absorption of salt by tissue. Low potassium means low blood sugar, which means low energy and irratibility.

To top it all off, when we cook our food, we destroy the potassium that was originally found in the food leaving the human organism with that much less to fight the battle.

Even an athlete, which most people are not, cannot avoid the high blood pressure and strokes caused by the constricting blood vessels that come from salt (sodium chloride). Anemia and atrophy of the lungs are a sure reaction caused by the lack of oxygen in the blood vessles (THE HEALTH HAZAREDS OF SALT, Andrew and Cheryl Zupko). “Acne, stomach ulcers, edema have all been linked to excessive salt intake (Zupko A & C).”

Zupko A & C also state, “A severe enough potassium deficiency caused by excessive salt intake will cause the muscles, valves, and arteries along the entire coronary route to adapt by shrinkin g, calcifying, and scarring, all the which untimately destroy tissue integrity… heart failure.”

In summary, sodium is an essential nutrient, sodium chloride is not; it is a combination of sodium and chloride that is toxic to the human organism. Sodium is found in the perfect ratio in fruits and vegetables; sodium chloride is unusable to the human organism and acts as a cell killer.
