The only thing I have to say about this is…see, I have been saying this about cell phones and their dangers for a long time.

Here’s more proof…

As a former journalist, it warms my heart to know that there are still good investigative journalists around who are not afraid to sink their teeth into good old fashioned research.

Bravo for CBS allowing this journalist the room to find AND report the truth.

I have said it a thousand times or more…literally, that our skin is the largest elimination organ AND the largest absorption organ.

Hence, we should be careful where we submerge ourselves and what we put ON ourselves.

Chlorine, an elemental poison that we have been duped into thinking is the only thing that can disinfect and keep things shiny and white, is NOT meant to be absorbed into our skin. Swimming in a conventional pool with chlorine every once and a while should not pose a problem,

but when you are swimming daily in chlorine certain ailments are bound to arise.

Dr. Mercola seems to agree:

I have been a fan of Homeopathy since before my formal Naturopathic training. The outstanding results are pretty hard to ignore. If traditional docs would look at the before and after data instead of ‘poo-pooing’ what they THINK they know about homeopathy, many of their ailing patients could benefit from this simple, effective, and inexpensive treatment.

Have you ever wondered why seemingly perfectly healthy young athletes drop dead in the middle of a game or practice? Could it be that they have been training hard and pumped up on food and drinks that contain dangerous levels of toxins that the body cannot possibly process?

Here is a good read by Dr. Lerner on what to do when for the workout of you and your jock at home. Contrary to popular belief it is not Gatorade that will replace electrolytes but coconut water. The big “G” will not quench a thirst but actually steal hydration from your body – only pure water can make the claim of REALLY replacing hydration.

I have been in opposition of artificial sweeteners for a long time, and vocal about high fructose corn syrup as well. Dr. Mercola has exposed this sweetener in the attachment below and it is the most comprehensive overview of its dangers. Educate yourself to better protect your family. Hosea 4:8 says, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

Exercise continues to be one of the single activities that can do so much for your body. Now, studies prove that it also helps your brain. But we know how good we feel after a nice walk, a run, a swim or any thing that helps us to bust a sweat. The emotional component to exercise releases endorphins that gives us a sense of well-being. When we invest in exercise, we invest in ourselves and that alone helps us to feel good.

Today I am rejoicing… Dr. Oz devoted an entire show to the menacing problem of parasites!! While many have considered me to be a little freak for discussing the little buggers, but with this topic being on mainstream television, you can’t say you didn’t know.

Parasite infestations are the primary cause of many illnesses. Traditional doctors have overlooked this as a cause of disease and dismissing worms as the possibility for illness simply because we live in America. Here’s the newsflash…you don’t HAVE to live in a third world country to get parasites. You simply have to live, breathe, eat food, and drink water.

The great Dr. Fred Burton contends, “I don’t care WHAT is wrong with you, after you deworm, you will feel better.” Doing a regular parasite cleanse at the change of every season is highly recommended. Choose a parasite cleansing kit like, Para-Gone, Para-Stroy, or Para-Cleanse. Every season in my home man, child, and beast deworms. If we deworm our pets regularly, why then don’t we do it for ourselves?

Recently I taught a Wellness Class in New York City and found myself engaged in a healthy debate about the unhealthy business of genetically modified foods. The intellectual sparring that transpired with the person who was ‘pro’ genetically modified foods was that they were good for us because of the larger size of the food being grown genetically we could feed more hungry people…and don’t we need to do that?

I completely agree that we need to feed hungry people but not at the expense of their health. I will take the hit on the organic apple the size of

my palm instead of one genetically modified to be the size of a newborn’s head. I will take the hit on the organic cucumber being the

length of my hand versus the length of my forearm.

I suppose that this is what the pharmaceutical giant Monsanto had in mind when they engaged in genetically modified foods in the first place…profits. The so-called “smart shopper” will automatically choose the larger apple and the longer cucumber because they are bigger, glossy, and cost less – a seemingly no-brain move for the consumer.

The savvy consumer will automatically go for the foods that have the dirt on them, are smaller, are not polished, and cost a bit more. We will also buy less because they have a shorter shelf life…as they should because they are not genetically modified.

Here is an excellent 10 point list from the Health Freedom Alliance on why genetically modified foods should be avoided to help you make an informed choice.

The Environmental Working Group tested the umbilical cords of 10 babies and found hundreds of toxic chemicals in them. Translation…babies are BORN toxic even before they have a chance at living. This is staggering news! How has this happened? The toxic law is broken. On the table is a Kid-Safe Chemical Act which would be a process that ensures the safety of a chemical before it can be sold.

Then to add even more injury to a newborn, modern medicine assaults their systems with foreign antigens in the form of vaccinations. No WONDER autism is on the rise (but that is another hot topic).

Please sign this petition to demand that Congress take action to make the chemicals in consumer products kid-safe.
