Advanced INF
New Sun has been working with Dr. Jeanne Petan over the course of several months for a formula that will compliment our current product line. We have received favorable remarks from those in the field that have used this product.

Quercetin is a flavonoid that forms the "backbone" for many other flavonoids, including the citrus flavonoids rutin, hesperidin, naringin and tangeritin. Quercetin is found to be the most active of the flavonoids in studies, and many medicinal plants owe much of their activity to their high quercetin content.  It exerts potent antioxidant activity and vitamin C-sparing action.

Turmeric-The medicinal properties of the turmeric have for millennia been known to the ancient Indians and its medical properties have been expounded in the Ayurvedic texts. It is only in recent years that Western scientists have increasingly recognised the medicinal properties of turmeric. According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal titled, "Common Indian Spice Stirs Hope," research activity into curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is exploding. Two hundred and fifty-six curcumin papers were published in the past year according to a research of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Bromelain can be used in a vast array of medical conditions.
Ginger has shown to have antioxidant-like properties and supports immune health.
Vitamin C can reduce levels of c-reactive protein.
Ingredients: Quercitin, Bromelin, Turmeric Extract (root), Ginger Extract (root), Vitamin C.

Silver (amalgam) fillings in your mouth


Dr Mercola article in part:

·                             Dental amalgam emits mercury vapor after it is implanted in your mouth. This mercury is bioaccumulative and endangers your health in many ways.
·                             Mercury impairs its own elimination mechanism by inhibiting the manufacturing of glutathione--an amino acid that acts as your body's main heavy metal detox agent.
·                             Vulnerable populations – such as children, especially unborn ones, hypersensitive individuals, and people with kidney impairments – are known to be particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of dental mercury.
·                             Safe alternatives to amalgam include resin composite, glass ionomers, and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART).

What You Need to Know about Amalgam Removal and Replacement

If you have amalgam in your teeth, removal and replacement with a safer material should be on the top of your list—especially if you are planning a future pregnancy. However, please do NOT make the mistake of having your amalgam fillings removed by a dentist who is not properly trained in safe amalgam removal. Doing so could expose you to tremendous health risks, due to the large amounts of mercury vapor being released during the removal process. So please, avoid making the same mistake I did 20 years ago when I had all my amalgams removed. My dentist at the time was a competent dentist. However, he was clueless about mercury toxicity and used no precautions.
As result I suffered kidney damage. It was a very expensive and health damaging mistake.
Research has shown that if you do not take proper safety precautions during the removal process, mercury levels in your blood can rise three to four-fold, which may result in acute toxicity. Hence, it's extremely important to find a biological dentist that is trained in properly removing mercury fillings. Some things that need to be done to keep you (and your dentist) safe during the procedure include:
·         Providing you with an alternative air source and instructing you not to breathe through your mouth
·         Using a cold-water spray to minimize mercury vapors
·         Putting a rubber dam in your mouth so you don't swallow or inhale any toxins
·         Using a high-volume evacuator near the tooth at all times to evacuate the mercury vapor
·         Washing your mouth out immediately after the fillings have been removed (the dentist should also change gloves after the removal)
·         Immediately cleaning your protective wear and face once the fillings are removed
·         Using room air purifiers
For a complete description of how to safely remove mercury amalgam, see this PDF created by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT). Dr Simone also discusses the proper procedure in the featured interview. Here are several sources to help you locate a dentist trained in biological dentistry:

I also highly recommend getting healthy BEFORE having your fillings removed, as you want your detoxification mechanisms optimized prior to removal. To remove mercury that has already accumulated in your body, review my Mercury Detoxification Protocol, which details the things you can do right now to help rid your body of this toxin. If your mercury levels are seriously elevated, you should work with a knowledgeable health care practitioner to help you through the detoxification process.

Estrogen Pollution

One of my herbalist teachers wrote this.     He has a great site at www.treelite.com      Buy only organic foods as much as you can.    This goes for men as well as women (and children)   Remember, the meat you eat may have not eaten organic pesticide free foods so buy grass fed organic meats.
Estrogen Pollution
Protecting Yourself from the Health Hazards of Xenoestrogens
by Steven H. Horne, RH (AHG)
Estrogens are great hormones. After all, they are the hormones that make women feminine, and as a male, I happen to be quite attracted to femininity. But, there are some estrogenic compounds in the environment that aren’t so great. They are called xenoestrogens and they are causing serious health problems in both men and women.
Before I can discuss the health risk of xenoestrogens, it’s probably a good idea to provide a little background information about estrogens in general. I use estrogen in the plural, because there really is no single compound called “estrogen.” The human body makes three different estrogen hormones—estrase, estrone and estriol.
Plants also produce estrogen-like compounds called phytoestrogens. These compounds are not chemically identical to the estrogens produced by the body, but they still attach to estrogen receptor sites and influence reproductive health.
And finally there are xenoestrogens, the topic of this article. Xenoestrogens are environmental pollutants that have estrogen-like activity. These compounds are a primary cause of reproductive health problems in both women and men because they attach to and over-stimulate estrogen receptor sites. This causes changes in estrogen-sensitive tissues like the breasts, uterus and prostate. Xenoestrogens stimulate abnormal changes in these tissues, causing problems like cysts in the breasts, uterine fibroids, prostate enlargement and cancer.
Pesticides and Miscarriage
My introduction to the problem of xenoestrogens came when my last wife almost had a miscarriage after being exposed to pesticides. We were living in a rented home and the landlord sprayed the fruit trees in the yard. He asked my wife to come out so he could show her the damage that borers had been causing to the trunks of the trees. This exposed her to the fumes from the just-sprayed trees.
That night she started cramping and bleeding. She took lots of capsicum and bayberry to control the bleeding, vitamin E and false unicorn to inhibit contractions, and we both prayed. Fortunately, the bleeding stopped the next day.
When we relayed the incident to our midwife, she told us she was impressed because every mother she had ever known that had been exposed to that particular pesticide had miscarried. At the time, I didn’t know that this particular pesticide was an endocrine disrupter, an estrogen mimic, but we soon learned that it is very common for women to miscarry after this pesticide has been sprayed in their neighborhood.
So, if these poisons can have that dramatic of an effect on a woman’s pregnancy, imagine what regular low doses of them are doing to the reproductive systems of both men and women. One can readily see why reproductive health problems are on the increase worldwide.
Other Sources of Xenoestrogens
Pesticides, however, are only one source of estrogen pollution in our modern world. Another is commercial dairy, meat and eggs. There are two reasons for this. One is that dairy and egg farmers often feed estrogenic chemicals to milk cows and chickens because it increases production of milk and eggs. This alone makes commercial dairy, eggs and meat major sources of xenoestrogens.
However, there is another reason animal foods are major sources of xenoestrogens. Pesticides tend to be fat soluble, so they accumulate in the fat of animals. When an animal is eaten by another animal pesticides concentrate in that animal’s fat, too. So, the higher up the food chain you go, the more pesticides tend to accumulate in fat. This is why pesticides began to damage the reproduction in birds of prey. So eating the fat from commercial dairy foods and meat gives you a double dose of estrogen pollution.
Plastics are another source of xenoestrogens, particularly soft plastics. So, if you drink whole milk from commercial dairies in soft plastic jugs, you get a triple dose of estrogen pollution. Oh, and think about all that bottled water we’re drinking. If those plastic containers get hot, they leach chemicals, like xenoestrogens, into the water. It’s bad to put hot food into plastic containers for the same reason or to microwave food in plastic containers. (Of course, it’s a bad idea to microwave food, anyway.)
You can greatly enhance your reproductive health by purchasing organically grown food wherever possible (or a least avoiding foods from animals that have been fed hormones and washing produce to remove sprays). Avoid using pesticides in your home or on your property, too. Finally, wherever possible, use glass instead of plastic containers.
Detoxification from Xenoestrogens
Obviously, one can’t completely avoid chemicals like xenoestrogens in one’s life, so it’s also important to do some detoxification to help the body get rid of the xenoestrogens (and other chemicals) it is exposed to. The liver breaks down all excess hormones for elimination, so supporting the liver is very helpful. A good formula to use for general detoxification, including helping the liver get rid of xenoestrogens, is All Cell Detox. Another option is Enviro-Detox.
Cruciferous vegetables contain compounds that help the enzyme pathways in the liver that break down excess estrogens. Eating broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and other vegetables from the mustard family is a great way to support your liver’s detoxification ability. One of the compounds in these vegetables is Indole 3 Carbinol, which is available as a supplement. Indole 3 Carbinol is very helpful for getting rid of excess estrogen and can be helpful for any condition involving excess estrogen stimulation, including breast and reproductive cancers, uterine fibroids and fibrocystic breasts.
Foods rich in phytoestrogens can also help protect the body from estrogen pollution. Phytoestrogens tend to be very weak in their effects, but they tie-up estrogen receptor sites so the stronger xenoestrogens can’t attach to them. Soy products are widely promoted for their phytoestrogenic effects, but too much soy isn’t good for you, so don’t over do it with the soy products. Instead, consume a wide variety of foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as beans and peas, dark green leafy vegetables and whole grains.
The lignans in flax seed are also phytoestrogenic compounds. So, flax seeds and flax seed oil that contains lignans are also sources of beneficial phytoestrogens. A number of herbs are also good sources of phytoestrogens, including black cohosh, licorice root and hops. Although I haven’t used it in my own clinical practice, Breast Assured is essentially a phytoestrogen supplement which can be taken regularly by women who are concerned about reducing exposure to xenoestrogens. It will help prevent breast cancer, breast lumps, uterine fibroids and other problems caused by excessive estrogen stimulation.
Increasing progesterone levels can also be helpful, as progesterone and estrogen are antagonists that compete for the same receptor sites. My first choice in helping to balance these hormones would be vitex or chaste tree berry, which works on the pituitary to help regulate female hormone balance. It is a slow-acting herb and works best when taken regularly for three to six months. It is found in the Wild Yam and Chaste Tree Combination.
For women who experience heavy bleeding due to excessive estrogen, there are three remedies that can help balance these hormones. One is false unicorn, which has a progesterone-like effect. It has been used to prevent miscarriage (as in the story I told at the beginning of the article) and can also be used to combat heavy bleeding and estrogen-based conditions.
Sarsaparilla can also be used. It has a more testosterone-like effect. Yes, women also make testosterone, just like men make estrogen, and increasing testosterone can also help balance out female hormones.
Menstrual-Reg is a formula I helped to design. It is for heavy bleeding and contains herbs to both balance hormones and control bleeding. Like chaste tree, it is going to work best when taken regularly for a period of several months. Adding one capsule of yarrow per two capsules of Menstrual-Reg will improve its effectiveness against heavy bleeding, especially in the case of uterine fibroids.
Progesterone creams would be my last choice in balancing out excess estrogen. I realize that many women find them helpful, but they are not correcting the diet or the internal balance of hormones. In other words, they are treating the effect without dealing with the cause. Also, you can get too much progesterone as well as too much estrogen.
You can get your hormones tested, and creams can be compounded which contain the right amounts of natural estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone to properly balance your system. However, I’d try dietary changes and herbal supplements first and use this route only if you have serious problems that need immediate attention or have failed to find solutions through diet and herbs.
As a parting comment, as I was in the process of writing this article, I was invited to speak to a breast cancer survivor group. Because all but one of the women in the group (the one who invited me to speak) had gone the medical route in their cancer treatment, I chose to speak about the problem of xenoestrogens. It was interesting that nobody knew anything about xenoestrogens at the beginning of my lecture, but by the end of my lecture they all realized that avoiding xenoestrogens would be helpful for both preventing and treating breast cancer. People need to be educated, so please spread this information around.

Pancreas Health
Pancreas Health is an ayurvedic formula which helps maintain the health of a normal functioning pancreas.
More than 16 million people suffer with diabetes. You top off your tank with premium and slide behind the wheel and time for a little pleasure drive. Too bad you forgot the keys! It's the same way with diabetes. Your body, an amazing machine, uses a form of sugar called glucose to fire its engine. Your body makes glucose from foods, and then sends it into your bloodstream where it's available for use by every cell. However, without the right key - insulin - none of the cells can open up and take the energy. As a result, glucose levels build in the bloodstream, with dangerous consequences. Few people with diabetes need daily insulin injections.
People with Type II or non-insulin-dependent diabetes are at higher risk of vision and kidney problems, heart disease and nerve damage. More than 90% of the time, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, cutting back on fat and getting daily exercise can help keep your blood sugar levels in line. If you have diabetes, follow your doctor's advice.
See your Doctor when you: notice frequent urination, have extreme hunger and/or thirst, have unusual weight loss, suffer from extreme fatigue, are more irritable than usual, have blurred vision, cuts and bruises are slow to heal, have recurring skin, gum or bladder infections or have tingling or numbness in your hands and feet.

This special combination contains Blueberry leaf, Cedar Berries, Gentian, Golden Seal, Uva Ursi, Dandelion Root, Burdock Root, Licorice Root, Capsicum, Vanadium and Ultra Plex Base. Alpha Lipoic Acid is another new product shown to help support the pancreas and the heart. Recent studies in Europe show its effectiveness.
New Sun's Sugar Metabolizer/HBS is a Homeopathic Natural Medicine spray which is tasteless, alcohol free and for all ages. This formula works on temporary relief of dry mouth, fatigue, indigestion, increased urination and constipation associated with sugar consumption.
Ingredients: Gymnema Sylvestre Extract, Pterocarpus Marsupium Extract, Trigonella Foneum Gracecum Extract, Momordica Charantia Extract, Salacia Raticulata Extract, Tinosporia Cordifolia Extract and Triphala Extract.

Chromium Picolinate
We've known for years that trace minerals like Iron and Zinc are essential to good health. One of the most important minerals is Chromium. It helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into energy. In fact, Chromium-activated insulin increases the amount of blood sugar available for energy production nearly twenty fold. Chromium is of great help for weight loss also. Insulin is dependent upon biologically active Chromium. There is also evidence to suggest that in some people Chromium may play a role in regulating appetite, reducing sugar cravings and promoting lean body mass.  U.S. Government studies show that nine out of ten Americans do not get enough Chromium in their diet and that chromium deficiency may be a widespread problem. Chromium levels decrease gradually with age, while strenuous exercise, pregnancy, diabetes and stress can all cause the body to use up its chromium stores even faster.
You may not be getting the Chromium you thought you were. Chromium Chloride, for example, does not activate insulin and less than 2% is absorbed by the body.

Say No to Microwaves

When microwaves were first invented, there was a real uproar about them, but alas, corporate greed won out.
Here's an article from Mike Adams

Microwave ovens destroy the nutritional value of your food

by Mike Adams

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.)

Why microwave users are so 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.

Baby Formulas

If mother cannot breastfeed, here are some baby formulas.    Always use organic foods with baby and you too!    Always use filtered water with NO fluoride (it should say reverse osmosis filtering on bottle if you don't have an RO unit at your house.    Never heat baby formula in microwave or food either.



BABY FORMULAS


Almond and Sesame Milk Formula

1 cup chopped almonds (good source)
½ cup sesame seeds
1 qt pure water (no chlorine or fluoride)
1 tsp pure maple syrup

Soak the almonds and seeds overnight in fridge.    Blend for 3 minutes in blender and strain.

Almonds and Cashew Milk Formula
Use raw nuts and seeds

½ cup almonds
½ cup cashews
¼ cup raisins
1 T molasses
½ tsp slippery elm powder
1 qt pure water

Soak all together overnight.  Blend and strain

Barley Formula

15 ounces of barley water
10 ounces goat’s milk
1 tsp pure maple syrup
1 to 3 crushed papaya tablets

To make barley water, put one cup barley in cheese cloth, and tie loosely in 2 qts pure water (no chlorine or fluoride).   Boil for 6 hours, add more water and boil down to 15 ounces.

Infants need vitamins A, C, D, iodine, iron, manganese, lecithin also.  



Milk Does Not Do A Body Good

Milk contains hormones and antibiotics.   Wood glue is made from casein, a protein found in cow's milk.  Got asthma, zits and early puberty?    Got allergies - stop dairy products.     Try it for two weeks, see how you feel, then have yourself a glass of milk and see how your body likes it.    Milk contribute to an acidic diet which causes the body to buffer by pulling calcium from bones and potassium from the heart.    Wonder why the U.S. has a high rate of osteoporosis?      You get more calcium from a cup of broccoli.   Try any other kind of milk, even goat or almond, but not soy.    Here's a comment from Robert Cohen from www.notmilk.com


HOW MUCH PUS IS IN MILK?

Dear Friends,

Pus is not dangerous.  Pus is rather delicious, especially when it's mixed
with sugar and frozen, or bubbly hot atop marinara sauce and pizza.
Fermented pus with acidophilus bacteria makes for a tasty breakfast,
especially if jellied fruit preserves are mixed in. I used to enjoy Dannon's
pus, but Brown Cow makes a brand where the saturated fat rises to the
surface.  Now, that's 'hearty' food!

Many of my dairy-producing adversaries get upset when I reveal that milk is
merely pus with hormones.  Ten pounds of milk are used to make one pound of
cheese.  Cheese is concentrated pus.

Jim Dickrell's story in the March, 2001 issue of Dairy Today asks:

"WHAT IS NORMAL MILK?"

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a milk ordinance
governing milk safety.  USDA does not allow milk containing 750 million or
more pus cells per liter to be shipped across state borders.  That should be
good news to milk drinkers.

Last year, the average liter of milk in America contained only 323 million
pus cells, according to Hoard's Dairyman, the dairy industry magazine.
Author Jim Dickrell reports that the level of pus cells has been rising ever
since farmers began using Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth
hormone.   Before approval (February 1994), the average pus cell count in
milk was under 300 million cells per liter.  By 1996, that average count had
reached 307 million.  In 1997, the average count was 313 million, and by
1998, the number had reached 318 million.

Researchers working for the National Mastitis Council define normal and
abnormal milk based on the number of pus cells.  According to Dickrell's
story, the concentration of pus cells in "normal milk" is almost always less
than 100 million cells per liter.

The number of pus cells in milk is an indicator of the state of health of
the mammary glands and udders in cows.  Stressed and infected cows have cell
counts above 100 million.  What does that say for the average milk in
America?  Not very healthy, even by dairy industry standards.

According to this article:

"When cell counts in milk exceed 200 (million per liter), the odds favor
that the [udder] is infected or is recovering from infection."

The dairy magazine reports:

"Abnormal milk will be discolored and have flakes, clots or other gross
alterations in appearance."

Gross is certainly an appropriate word to describe pus-filled milk with
clots. This analyses of mastitis researchers reveals:

"At 400 (million) cells per liter, some 35% of cows will be infected."

This means that approximately one-third of the cows being milked at any one
time in America are stressed and infected.  Milk from these cows contains
large amounts of bacteria, virus, and pus.  As a consequence, farmers must
treat their herds with increased amounts of antibiotics.

Pam Ruegg, a University of Wisconsin mastitis researcher, examined more than
one million records, and concluded that the higher the herd's pus cell
count, the greater the risk of antibiotic residues in milk.

Her results were published in the December 2000 issue of the Journal of
Dairy Science.

Fluoride


 
 
10 Facts about Fluoride
Fluoride Action Network | December 2006

1) 97% of western Europe has chosen fluoride-free water. This includes: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland. (While some European countries add fluoride to salt, the majority do not.) Thus, rather than mandating fluoride treatment for the whole population, western Europe allows individuals the right to choose, or refuse, fluoride.

2) Fluoride is the only chemical added to drinking water for the purpose of medication (to prevent tooth decay). All other treatment chemicals are added to treat the water (to improve the water's quality and safety - which fluoride does not do). This is one of the reasons why most of Europe has rejected fluoridation. For instance:
In Germany, "The argumentation of the Federal Ministry of Health against a general permission of fluoridation of drinking water is the problematic nature of compulsion medication."
In Belgium, it is "the fundamental position of the drinking water sector that it is not its task to deliver medicinal treatment to people. This is the sole responsibility of health services."
In Luxembourg, "In our views, drinking water isn't the suitable way for medicinal treatment and that people needing an addition of fluoride can decide by their own to use the most appropriate way."

3) Contrary to previous belief, fluoride has minimal benefit when swallowed. When water fluoridation began in the 1940s and '50s, dentists believed that fluoride needed to be swallowed in order to be most effective. This belief, however, has now been discredited by an extensive body of modern research (1).
According to the Centers for Disease Control, fluoride's "predominant effect is posteruptive and topical" (2). In other words, any benefits that accrue from the use of fluoride, come from the direct application of fluoride to the outside of teeth (after they have erupted into the mouth) and not from ingestion. There is no need, therefore, to expose all other tissues to fluoride by swallowing it.

4) Fluoridated water is no longer recommended for babies. In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water (3). Other dental researchers have made similar recommendations over the past decade (4).
Babies exposed to fluoride are at high risk of developing dental fluorosis - a permanent tooth defect caused by fluoride damaging the cells which form the teeth (5). Other tissues in the body may also be affected by early-life exposures to fluoride. According to a recent review published in the medical journal The Lancet, fluoride may damage the developing brain, causing learning deficits and other problems (6).

5)There are better ways of delivering fluoride than adding it to water. By adding fluoride to everyone's tap water, many infants and other at-risk populations will be put in harm's way. This is not only wrong, it is unnecessary. As western Europe has demonstrated, there are many equally effective and less-intrusive ways of delivering fluoride to people who actually want it. For example:
A) Topical fluoride products such as toothpaste and mouthrinses (which come with explicit instructions not to swallow) are readily available at all grocery stores and pharmacies. Thus, for those individuals who wish to use fluoride, it is very easy to find and very inexpensive to buy.
B) If there is concern that some people in the community cannot afford to purchase fluoride toothpaste (a family-size tube of toothpaste costs as little as $2 to $3), the money saved by not fluoridating the water can be spent subsidizing topical fluoride products (or non-fluoride alternatives) for those families in need.
C) The vast majority of fluoride added to water supplies is wasted, since over 99% of tap water is not actually consumed by a human being. It is used instead to wash cars, water the lawn, wash dishes, flush toilets, etc.

6) Ingestion of fluoride has little benefit, but many risks. Whereas fluoride's benefits come from topical contact with teeth, its risks to health (which involve many more tissues than the teeth) result from being swallowed.
Adverse effects from fluoride ingestion have been associated with doses atttainable by people living in fluoridated areas. For example:
a) Risk to the brain. According to the National Research Council (NRC), fluoride can damage the brain. Animal studies conducted in the 1990s by EPA scientists found dementia-like effects at the same concentration (1 ppm) used to fluoridate water, while human studies have found adverse effects on IQ at levels as low as 0.9 ppm among children with nutrient deficiencies, and 1.8 ppm among children with adequate nutrient intake. (7-10)

b) Risk to the thyroid gland. According to the NRC, fluoride is an “endocrine disrupter.” Most notably, the NRC has warned that doses of fluoride (0.01-0.03 mg/kg/day) achievable by drinking fluoridated water, may reduce the function of the thyroid among individuals with low-iodine intake. Reduction of thyroid activity can lead to loss of mental acuity, depression and weight gain (11)
c) Risk to bones. According to the NRC, fluoride can diminish bone strength and increase the risk for bone fracture. While the NRC was unable to determine what level of fluoride is safe for bones, it noted that the best available information suggests that fracture risk may be increased at levels as low 1.5 ppm, which is only slightly higher than the concentration (0.7-1.2 ppm) added to water for fluoridation. (12)
d) Risk for bone cancer. Animal and human studies – including a recent study from a team of Harvard scientists – have found a connection between fluoride and a serious form of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in males under the age of 20. The connection between fluoride and osteosarcoma has been described by the National Toxicology Program as "biologically plausible." Up to half of adolescents who develop osteosarcoma die within a few years of diagnosis. (13-16)
e) Risk to kidney patients. People with kidney disease have a heightened susceptibility to fluoride toxicity. The heightened risk stems from an impaired ability to excrete fluoride from the body. As a result, toxic levels of fluoride can accumulate in the bones, intensify the toxicity of aluminum build-up, and cause or exacerbate a painful bone disease known as renal osteodystrophy. (17-19)

7) The industrial chemicals used to fluoridate water may present unique health risks not found with naturally-occurring fluoride complexes . The chemicals - fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride - used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial waste products from the phosphate fertilizer industry. Of these chemicals, fluorosilicic acid (FSA) is the most widely used. FSA is a corrosive acid which has been linked to higher blood lead levels in children. A recent study from the University of North Carolina found that FSA can - in combination with chlorinated compounds - leach lead from brass joints in water pipes, while a recent study from the University of Maryland suggests that the effect of fluoridation chemicals on blood lead levels may be greatest in houses built prior to 1946. Lead is a neurotoxin that can cause learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. (20-23)

8) Water fluoridation’s benefits to teeth have been exaggerated. Even proponents of water fluoridation admit that it is not as effective as it was once claimed to be. While proponents still believe in its effectiveness, a growing number of studies strongly question this assessment. (24-46) According to a systematic review published by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, "The magnitude of [fluoridation's] effect is not large in absolute terms, is often not statistically significant and may not be of clinical significance." (36)
a) No difference exists in tooth decay between fluoridated & unfluoridated countries. While water fluoridation is often credited with causing the reduction in tooth decay that has occurred in the US over the past 50 years, the same reductions in tooth decay have occurred in all western countries, most of which have never added fluoride to their water. The vast majority of western Europe has rejected water fluoridation. Yet, according to comprehensive data from the World Health Organization, their tooth decay rates are just as low, and, in fact, often lower than the tooth decay rates in the US. (25, 35, 44)
b) Cavities do not increase when fluoridation stops. In contrast to earlier findings, five studies published since 2000 have reported no increase in tooth decay in communities which have ended fluoridation. (37-41)
c) Fluoridation does not prevent oral health crises in low-income areas. While some allege that fluoridation is especially effective for low-income communities, there is very little evidence to support this claim. According to a recent systematic review from the British government, "The evidence about [fluoridation] reducing inequalities in dental health was of poor quality, contradictory and unreliable." (45) In the United States, severe dental crises are occurring in low-income areas irrespective of whether the community has fluoride added to its water supply. (46) In addition, several studies have confirmed that the incidence of severe tooth decay in children (“baby bottle tooth decay”) is not significantly different in fluoridated vs unfluoridated areas. (27,32,42) Thus, despite some emotionally-based claims to the contrary, water fluoridation does not prevent the oral health problems related to poverty and lack of dental-care access.

9) Fluoridation poses added burden and risk to low-income communities. Rather than being particularly beneficial to low-income communities, fluoridation is particularly burdensome and harmful. For example:
a) Low-income families are least able to avoid fluoridated water. Due to the high costs of buying bottled water or expensive water filters, low-income households will be least able to avoid fluoride once it's added to the water. As a result, low-income families will be least capable of following ADA’s recommendation that infants should not receive fluoridated water. This may explain why African American children have been found to suffer the highest rates of disfiguring dental fluorosis in the US. (47)
b) Low-income families at greater risk of fluoride toxicity. In addition, it is now well established that individuals with inadequate nutrient intake have a significantly increased susceptibility to fluoride’s toxic effects. (48-51) Since nutrient deficiencies are most common in income communities, and since diseases known to increase susceptibility to fluoride are most prevalent in low-income areas (e.g. end-stage renal failure), it is likely that low-income communities will be at greatest risk from suffering adverse effects associated with fluoride exposure. According to Dr. Kathleen Thiessen, a member of the National Research Council's review of fluoride toxicity: “I would expect low-income communities to be more vulnerable to at least some of the effects of drinking fluoridated water." (51)

10) Due to other sources, many people are being over-exposed to fluoride . Unlike when water fluoridation first began, Americans are now receiving fluoride from many other sources* besides the water supply. As a result many people are now exceeding the recommended daily intake, putting them at elevated risk of suffering toxic effects. For example, many children ingest more fluoride from toothpaste alone than is considered “optimal” for a full day’s worth of ingestion. According to the Journal of Public Health Dentistry:
"Virtually all authors have noted that some children could ingest more fluoride from [toothpaste] alone than is recommended as a total daily fluoride ingestion." (52)
Because of the increase in fluoride exposure from all sources combined, the rate of dental fluorosis (a visible indicator of over-exposure to fluoride during childhood) has increased significantly over the past 50 years. Whereas dental fluorosis used to impact less than 10% of children in the 1940s, the latest national survey found that it now affects over 30% of children. (47, 53)
* Sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluorinated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea.

About Soda

ABOUT SODA:

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit
your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t
immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric
acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.

20 minutes:
Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds
to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s
plenty of that at this particular moment)40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine
receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness

.45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc
in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This
is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also
increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.>

60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties
come into play. (It makes you have to urinate) It is now assured that
you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.>60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies
down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable
and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, urinated all the water
that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable
nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

So you wonder why they line up the cartons of soda at gas stations and everywhere and sell them cheap?    Gets you hooked and keeps you hooked.
And your kids.

Reasons to Avoid Soy


Here are 12 reasons to avoid soy

1) Soy contains several enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed to digest proteins. These are not de-activated by cooking, only by fermentation. In test animals, it causes enlargement and other conditions of the pancreas, including cancer.

2) Soy also contains hemagglutinin, a clot promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together.

3) Soybeans are high in phytic acid and phytates. This is an organic acid that blocks the uptake of essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc). Many scientists are in agreement that grain and legume based diets high in phytates contribute to widespread mineral deficiencies in third world countries. Again, fermentation (like soy sauce and tempeh) will reduce the phytate contents of the beans, but extraction (like for tofu, TVP, and soy milk) does not.

4) Soy also contains goitrogens, substances depress thyroid function.

5) 99% of the soy on the market today is genetically modified. It also contains the highest percentage of contamination by pesticides of ANY of our foods. Soy beans are also very high in aluminum and cadmium, dangerous metals implicated in Alzheimer's and heart disease.

6) While the soy beans are relatively rich in omega-3 oils, these go rancid when subjected to the high temperature and pressure required to extract them from the beans. Rancid oils are dangerous carcinogens. The only other way to extract the oils from soy beans is through the use of solvents such as hexane and acetone. Traces of these carcinogens remain in the soy oils currently available in supermarkets.

7) Even fermented soy like tempeh, miso, and soy sauce cannot be relied on for the complete meat substitute. In the Orient, tempeh is served with rice to complete the protein. But at least MOST of the phytates have been inactivated in the fermented products.

8) Soy supplements have been taunted as helping menopause symptoms. This has not been verified in recent studies. In fact, most of the previous studies claiming that soy supplements have helped menopause were SPONSORED by the soy industry, an increasingly wealthy industry that takes 1% of the market price from the farmers in order to "research" (i.e. advertise) soy products…..a total of $80 million per year.

9) The history of soybeans in the Orient has been much abused (and possibly rewritten for the benefit of the soy manufacturers.) Soy was much revered as a crop rotation grain (used to fix nitrogen in the soil). It became a food in China only after they learned to ferment it sometime around 200 BC. The Japanese have been eating small amounts of tofu only with mineral rich fish broth, followed by a serving of meat or fish.

10) Soy Particulate Isolates (SPI) such as TVP, are highly processed soybeans that are full of aluminum, nitrates, MSG, as well as the trypsin inhibitors and phytates. Test animals fed SPI reportedly developed enlarged pancreas and thyroid glands as well as increased deposits of fatty acids in the livers.

11) Soy milk based infant formulas are dangerous. In the 1930's, it was reported that hot soy milk was a drink for the old people in China. It was never used for infants. Infants brought up on soy milk formulas have lower IQ's and are smaller. They also have higher incidences of diabetes. Behavior problems from the pesticides (dioxins, DDT residues, cadmium, aluminum, fluoride, and other toxins) are rampant. The depressed thyroid glands due to these toxins and the phytoestrogens in (GMO and non-GMO) soy are suspected to be responsible for the mental retardation, stunted growth, deaf mutism, digestive problems, etc in infants. The amount of phytoestrogens that a baby on soy formula ingests per day is equivalent to 5 birth control pills.

12) The final point on soy products is the isoflavones, phytoestrogens much-taunted by the press and by advertisement as the product that will save all women from hot-flashes, etc. In fact, it looks like these phytoestrogens compete with natural estrogen for estrogen receptors in the brain. This interferes with hormones involved in reproduction and growth. Studies have shown that women consuming soy protein isolates have an increased incidence of "epithelial hyperplasia," a condition that often precedes cancers. The isoflavones also depress the thyroid gland causing hypothyroidism. One of the isoflavones, genistein, has been shown to inhibit tyrosine kinase in the hippocampus, thus blocking the mechanism for memory formation.

CoQ-10
Coenzyme Q-10: Protection for Heart and Immune System

Suppose there was a nutrient that could boost your energy level, protect and strengthen your heart and body and help to maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already with in normal range. Suppose this same nutrient could even play an important role in improving the effectiveness of your immune system and because it's completely natural to your body, was non toxic and produced no dangerous side effects. Wouldn't you say, "I need that in my life?"
Coenzyme Q-10, a relatively obscure member of the coenzyme family, is a valuable nutrient that every cell in your body must have in order to produce energy. Discovered by Dr. Folkers, M.D., who is also a scientist more than 30 years ago, CoQ-10 has recently been basking in the spotlight of the international medical research community. During the past decade an overpowering number of studies have shown that CoQ-10 plays a very vital role in the prevention and care of major health problems.
It has also become apparent that illness and the effects of aging cause many people to develop deficiencies of CoQ-10. This results in an imbalance of the body's system. Studies have recently shown that CoQ-10, when taken as a nutritional supplement, helps increase energy, protect and strengthen the heart and body, helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within normal range, helps to maintain and supports immune system.
CoQ-10 is an essential component of the cellular compartment (mitochondria), where it plays a major role in energy production. Although CoQ-10 can be synthesized in the body, deficiencies can be a result from impaired CoQ-10 synthesis due to nutritional deficiencies, a genetic, impaired or acquired defect in CoQ-10 synthesis, increased tissue needs or from some cholesterol lowering drugs. In addition, the elderly, in general, may have increased CoQ-10 requirements. The decline of CoQ-10 levels in body tissues as we get older is thought to be partly responsible for age-related deterioration of the immune system.
CoQ-10 has been shown to support the cardiovascular system. Heart tissue biopsies in patients with various heart diseases showed a CoQ-10 deficiency in 50-75 percent of cases. As one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body, the heart may be metabolically susceptible to the effects of coenzyme Q-10 deficiency. In addition to serving as a co-factor in energy production, coenzyme Q-10 functions as a powerful antioxidant. Oxiclative damage contributes to the aging process. This suggests that coenzyme Q-10 supplementation should be induced in any comprehensive antioxidant program. CoQ-10 supplements are typically recommended at a minimum daily dosage of 60 mg.
The quality of CoQ-10 varies greatly from supplier to supplier. Less than 4% of Q10 products sold use naturally fermented Q10 (made from special algae in Japan) - most products are made using synthesized Q10, made by mixing vitamins and minerals together, or from an extract from the tobacco plant! It takes nine months to produce naturally fermented Q10.
Also available in 30mg and 100mg softgels.


Ingredients:  Vitamin E - 5 IU, Coenzyme Q-10 - 50mg.
Other Ingredients: Rice Bran Oil, Gelatin, Glycerin, Soy Lecithin, Yellow Beeswax and Annatto Color.
