Month: April 2011

As long as practitioners, whether licensed or not, are not hurting anyone, it is our belief that they should be able to provide consenting patients with alternative treatments that can help them. But SB 412 will establish medical overlords who will decide for Nevadans what type of medicine is legitimate, stripping them of their own freedom to make a conscious decision in the matter. This is simply unacceptable and must be stopped.

The recent outpouring of attention to North Carolina's SB 31 led to a significant amendment to its wording that protected non-licensed practitioners in the state from becoming felons. And it was because you helped bombard the NC General Assembly with opposition to the poorly-written bill that it got changed.

Now, it is time to do the same thing with SB 412. Whether or not you live in Nevada, Nevadans need your help to call and email the members of the Nevada Senate Committee on Commerce, Labor & Energy, and urge them to oppose SB 412. The bill is a huge threat to health freedom, and it is not in the best interest of Nevadans or Americans.

The members of the committee are:

Michael A. Schneider (Chair) – (775) 684-6502, [email protected]
Shirley A. Breeden (Vice Chair) – (775) 684-1457, [email protected]
David R. Parks – (775) 684-6504, [email protected]
Allison Copening – (775) 684-1475, [email protected]
James A. Settelmeyer – (775) 684-1470, [email protected]
Elizabeth Halseth – (775) 684-1421, [email protected]
Michael Roberson – (775) 684-1481, [email protected]

Remember to be polite, but firm, in your opposition to SB 412. Tell the committee members that the bill will do nothing but create a costly, unnecessary bureaucracy that will undermine health freedom, and urge them to oppose it.

To start eliminating this bacterial growth in your body, you need to eat plenty of healthy fats such as fish oil, cod liver oil, extra virgin olive oil, organic raw butter and extra virgin coconut oil. Carbohydrates need to be severely restricted and should be eaten in the form of vegetables, preferably steamed or raw if possible. Avoid beets and carrots though, as these have high sugar content. Grapefruit, apples and berries are the best forms of fruit to consume.

Drink plenty of filtered or purified water, along with herbal teas and barley grass. Broths may also be consumed. Avoid any sweetened drinks, including fruit juices. All forms of sugar need to be eliminated from your diet, as candidiasis thrives on it. Eat as few grains as possible, preferably limiting them to oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa and millet. Seeds and nuts may be eaten, but it is best to soak these overnight to make them more easily digestible. A simple rule of thumb regarding the dietary changes is to only consume natural and organic foods.

Once you have your diet under control, you can then start to kill off the Candida with natural antifungals. These include garlic, oil of oregano, Wormwood/Black Walnut, Olive Leaf extract, Grapefruit seed extract, extra virgin coconut oil and Caprylic acid. It is important to keep using a different antifungal treatment every 3 to 4 days because the Candida may become resistant to one form of treatment if it is used for too long.

Oil of oregano is very potent, so only a few drops of it need to be placed in a glass of water. Too much of this oil can cause irritation to mucous membranes. Garlic has extremely powerful antifungal properties. It is best eaten raw, although it is rather potent. For this reason, it may be crushed and added to food. If you are not able to eat raw garlic, you may use garlic oil capsules instead.

Colloidal Silver denatures enzymes involved with providing oxygen to the Candida. This will help to starve the Candida and kill it off. Edible clays such as Montmorillonite or Bentonite clay are highly absorptive. Because these clays are not absorbed by the body, they are able to absorb the Candida and help it to pass through and out of the body. Psyllium husk is a highly effective colon cleanser that will help eliminate the Candida as well. Spirulina and Chlorella are highly nutritious and will also help to detoxify the body and remove the Candida.

Sodium fluoride is accumulated and stored by bone matter, displacing calcium and weakening bones. The pineal gland sucks up even more of the stuff that is being put in 70% of the USA water supply while independent scientific research and public protest is disregarded.

The Health Issues

There's more on the fluoridated pineal gland in the Natural News article "A Fluoride Free Pineal Gland …" (source below). Here are a few of the health issues from drinking fluoridated water:

*Thyroid Disruption – affecting the complete endocrine system and leading to obesity and diabetes
*Neurological – diminished IQ and inability to focus (ADD), lethargy, weariness, possibly fibromyalgia.
*Melatonin Disruption – sleep disorders, increased aging, lower immunity to cancer.
*Alzheimer's Disease
*Pineal Gland – calcification of this gland located in the middle of the brain.
*Cancer

Types of Fluorides

Calcium fluoride is in several ground water sources, especially wells. The worst it can do is cause tooth enamel or bone damage if consumed daily over the long term. Pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride is meant to be applied topically to teeth as a dental procedure. But if swallowed or otherwise ingested, it is extremely toxic.

But the most pernicious of all sodium fluorides is either fluorosilicate acid or sodium silicofluoride. These are the waste products of industry, originally from the nuclear and aluminum industries, but now mostly from the phosphate fertilizer industry.

The gases emitted from phosphate fertilizer processing plants are so toxic that nearby crops were destroyed by the emissions and serious health problems rose among nearby residents. So the EPA forced the processing plants to use scrubbers in their stacks to clean the exhaust.

That solved the toxic emission problems locally while creating an expensive toxic waste disposal problem. How toxic is this scrubbed stuff? A recent spill from a fluorosilicate container in Illinois had to be contained by workers wearing the same type of protective gear worn near the damaged reactors in Fukushima.

Deceptive PR campaigns and the American Dental Association's urging of fluoridation as the panacea for tooth decay created a profitable side industry: Selling phosphate toxic sludge as sodium fluoride for community water supplies. Fluoridated water proponents argue that low doses are safe while ignoring how these daily doses deposit and accumulate in our bones and organs.

Avoiding Sodium Fluoride

Even if not fluoridated, tap water contains chlorine compounds that tend to leach lead. This lead leaching gets with the sodium fluoride added. It has been declared that there is no safe level of lead in our bodies.

Don't drink tap water that has not gone through reverse osmosis, at least. Avoid commercial sodas and juices. Most food stores contain reverse osmosis purifiers that you can use to load large jugs cheaply. There are household purifiers available as well.

Reverse osmosis removes over 85% of sodium fluoride from water, but some of the good minerals are removed as well. Add some sea salt or mineral powder to compensate. Do this to stay healthy and join the growing resistance against forced toxic medication via our water supplies.

Eat a Healthy Diet: Eat a diet that is high in fiber and includes at least 6 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Reduce red meat consumption and eliminate processed meats with no more than 30% of calories from fat.

You can lower risk even further by increasing fresh vegetable and leafy greens (limit fruit consumption) to 10 servings each day and cut red meat entirely. Fat is not your enemy as long as it is eaten in a natural unheated state and balanced with critical Omega-3 fats in a 1:1 ratio with Omega-6 vegetable oils. Eliminate fried and processed foods and anything with refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, wheat or corn.

Exercise at Least 30 Minutes a Day: This study did not define the best type of exercise, but research has shown that short burst resistance exercise is most beneficial to health. Choose your favorite exercise regimen and push yourself to your maximum limit for 1 minute. Rest for 2 minutes and repeat for 15 repetitions, and include all major muscle groups. A brisk walk is also an excellent form of aerobic exercise.

No Smoking: Smoking is the leading preventable cause of many different cancer lines. Be careful to avoid second hand smoke as well.

Limit Alcohol: Alcohol is abrasive to our digestive tract and can alter the optimal acid balance. Further, alcohol is converted to sugars that can add fuel to cancer development.

Maintain Normal Weight: The study found that a waist size of no more than 34.6 for women and 40.1 for men was ideal. Given the typical diet consumed by most participants these numbers are in line with the 23% reduction in colon cancer risk demonstrated by the research.

Waist size is directly related to the risk of developing cancer as well as many other inflammatory mediated diseases. Excess abdominal fat causes the release of dangerous signaling chemicals that promote weight gain and cancer. Target a waist size close to the inseam of your pants.

This study provides another link between diet, lifestyle and cancer. You can virtually eliminate your risk of many cancer lines by following an organic diet and natural lifestyle.

Again, these figures do not include the other radioactive elements being spread by Fukushima, so there is no telling what the actual cumulative radiation levels really were in these samples. The figures were also taken two weeks ago, and were only just recently reported. If current samples were taken at even more cities, and if the tests conducted included the many other radioactive elements besides Iodine-131, actual contamination levels would likely be frighteningly higher.

But in typical government fashion, the EPA still insists that everything is just fine, even though an increasing amount of US water supplies are turning up positive for even just the radioactive elements for which the agency is testing — and these levels seem to be increasing as a direct result of the situation at the Fukushima plant, which continues to worsen with no end in sight (http://www.naturalnews.com/032035_F…).

Water may be the least of our problems, however. New EPA data just released on Sunday shows that at least three different milk samples — all from different parts of the US — have tested positive for radioactive Iodine-131 at levels that exceed the EPA maximum thresholds for safety, which is currently set at 3.0 pico Curies per Liter (pCi/l).

In Phoenix, Ariz., a milk sample taken on March 28, 2011, tested at 3.2 pCi/l. In Little Rock, Ark., a milk sample taken on March 30, 2011, tested at 8.9 pCi/l, which is almost three times the EPA limit. And in Hilo, Hawaii, a milk sample collected on April 4, 2011, tested at 18 pCi/l, a level six times the EPA maximum safety threshold. The same Hawaii sample also tested at 19 pCi/l for Cesium-137, which has a half life of 30 years (http://www.naturalnews.com/031992_r…), and a shocking 24 pCi/l for Cesium-134, which has a half life of just over two years (http://opendata.socrata.com/w/pkfj-…).

Why is this milk contamination significant? Milk, of course, typically represents the overall condition of the food chain because cows consume grass and are exposed to the same elements as food crops and water supplies. In other words, when cows' milk starts testing positive for high levels of radioactive elements, this is indicative of radioactive contamination of the entire food supply.

And even with the milk samples, the EPA insanely says not to worry as its 3.0 pCi/l threshold is allegedly only for long-term exposure. But the sad fact of the matter is that the Fukushima situation is already a long-term situation. Not only does it appear that the Fukushima reactor cores are continuing to melt, since conditions at the plant have not gotten any better since the earthquake and tsunami, but many of the radioactive elements that have already been released in previous weeks have long half lives, and have spread halfway around the world.

The other problem with the EPA's empty reassurances that radiation levels are too low to have a negative impact on humans is the fact that the agency does not even have an accurate grasp on the actual aggregate exposure to radiation from all sources (water, food, air, rain, etc.). When you combine perpetual exposure from multiple sources with just the figures that have already been released, there is a very real threat of serious harm as a result of exposure.

The EPA and other government agencies are constantly comparing Fukushima radiation to background and airplane radiation in an attempt to minimize the severity of exposure, even though these are two completely different kinds of radiation exposure.

No Safe Level of Nuclear Fallout

In reality, there really is no safe level of radiation. No matter how many times the EPA and others repeat the lie that radiation levels are too low to have any significant impact, the statement itself is patently false. Many experts, including Jeff Patterson, DO, former President of Physicians for Social Responsibility, have stated that radiation exposure at any level is unsafe, and they are correct.

"There is no safe level of radionuclide exposure, whether from food, water or other sources. Period," said Patterson. "Exposure to radionuclides, such as Iodine-131 and Cesium-137, increases the incidence of cancer. For this reason, every effort must be taken to minimize the radionuclide content in food and water."

And now that radioactive levels in some areas have actually exceeded EPA maximums, Patterson's statement is even more chilling. So while the mainstream media continues its near-total blackout on Fukushima, the situation is actually becoming more severe than it has ever been. Time will tell how severe the long-term effects of this disaster will be, but one thing is for sure — Fukushima radiation cannot and should not be taken lightly..

(NaturalNews) Hold onto your chelators folks. And watch out for those Made in Japan labels on products. Are you worried that your seaweed may be radioactive? Should you eat that shrimp at the gourmet restaurant? Take that krill oil supplement? Start bowing to colleagues rather than shaking hands? Carry a Geiger counter?

We are entering a strange era where Japanese products will all be suspect, and food manufacturers will add the label Not Made in Japan alongside the Non-GMO label. The nuclear disaster in Japan has us all worried about radiation exposure. Just look at the rate that potassium iodide pills were snatched up on the internet.

What should you do? Watch the news for actual levels of radioactivity in food products. Do not believe the mainstream media or the government.

Here is a map you can use to check gamma radiation emissions data near you in the US.

Start taking supplements now that protect you from the effects of radiation. That includes chelating agents like chlorella, powdered fruit pectin (modified citrus pectin), or powdered zeolite. Then protect your liver with glutathione support by taking reduced liposomal glutathione, n-acetylcysteine, or milk thistle. Take antioxidants in the form of vitamin C, D, and E, Antarctic krill oil, grape seed extract or resveratrol, and others. And support digestive function and removal of toxins with a multi-vitamin supplement and probiotics.

(NaturalNews) Reporting in the journal Biofactors, researchers found that patients with congestive heart failure that were supplemented with the active form of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) improved ejection fraction by 39%. Ejection fraction is a critical marker of heart function used to determine the volume of blood pumped by the heart through the vascular system. CoQ10 is essential to convert nutrients to energy and power the cellular engine, and natural production in the body declines with age. Extensive research explains how you can benefit from daily supplementation with this powerful enzyme to restore healthy energy balance and prevent age-related heart disease.

CoQ10

Gluten intolerance is caused by the body's reaction to gluten. The body identifies gluten as an invader, and the immune system kicks in. It creates antibodies to attack the invader, but – like autoimmune diseases – the antibodies wind up attacking the body itself. In the process, antibodies can damage the villi, which are small, hair-like appendages in the small intestine. When the villi are damaged, the small intestine cannot do its job properly, and it fails to properly absorb nutrients from food.

Dr. Al Sears recommends that everyone cuts back on or avoids gluten; he says that, by doing so, people are returning to a more natural "way of eating." Doing so, he says, will restore the body's natural digestion; it will also increase energy and "improve focus." According to Judd Handler, approximately one out of every seven people suffers from gluten insensitivity.

Those who don't seem to suffer from gluten insensitivity may wonder what the fuss is all about. Gluten intolerance is also known as celiac disease (although there are people who suffer from intolerance but do not have celiac disease), but that's not all. Left untreated, Sears says that gluten intolerance can lead to diseases such as cancer and thyroid disease, as well as other complications. However, Handler cites Dr. Vicki Petersen as stating that even people who don't show outward signs of any kind of intolerance may still be suffering from the effects of gluten, whether they realize it or not.

Why are more and more people showing a sensitivity to gluten? Petersen says it's likely due to the fact that more and more foods contain this protein. Avoiding gluten can help all who choose to cut this protein out of their diet.

(NaturalNews) An experiment conducted at home for a high school science fair five years ago has verified the dangers of microwave ovens not only to humans, but even to plants and other organic matter. The experiment showed that microwaved water given to a plant causes the plant to wither and die within days; however, another identical plant given water that was boiled on a conventional stove grew normally during the same time period.

In the home experiment, filtered water was divided into two parts. One part would be microwaved and allowed to cool before being given to the plant, while the second part would be heated on a conventional stove top and given to an identical plant. Results were observed over a nine day period. By the third day it was already clear that the plant given the microwaved water was not faring as well as its counterpart.

By the ninth day the microwaved plant was virtually nonexistent in its pot, having literally shrunk in size to just a few inches above the soil. The second plant was growing beautifully.

View pictures of the experiment here: http://www.eutimes.net/2011/03/expe…

Microwaved prepared meats cause the formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. Microwaving can also cause some amino acids in foods such as milk and cereal grains to be converted into carcinogens. Even very short exposure for cooked, frozen or raw vegetables turned their plant alkaloids into carcinogenic matter unfit for human consumption. These carcinogenic free radicals formed in plants and especially in root vegetables exposed to microwaves. Broccoli showed a 97% loss of its vitamin C when cooked in a microwave oven.

Studies have shown that human breast milk heated in microwave ovens is altered and that not only is its vitamin content depleted, but some of the amino acids are also rendered biologically inactive. Some of the altered amino acids are poisons to both the nervous system and the kidneys.

Microwave ovens do not heat food evenly. This means that some parts are overcooked, which can change their molecular structure into dangerous carcinogenic substances, while other parts are undercooked increasing the risk of food poisoning.

Not only is the food cooked in microwave ovens dangerous, but also are the devices themselves. Every part from the power chord right up to the magnetron itself, which is the part that actually emits the radiation heating the food, is dangerous due to high levels of EM emissions.

Tests performed by manufacturers at a distance of two inches show that microwaves do leak out of the devices no matter how expensive or well made the model is. However since microwave radiation drops off dramatically with distance, at 20 inches the radiation is approximately 100 times less than at 2 inches, so it's a good idea to stand back from the unit if you must use one.

Microwaves can pass through walls, so if it's placed against an adjacent wall, those on the other side will be exposed to higher levels of radiation.

As this experiment clearly shows, microwaving your food, even if you are just reheating your tea, is definitely not a good idea. The microwaved plant would agree if it could talk.
