Who would ever think that the bite of a poppyseed sized tick could wreck so much havoc on the body? A tick that is now believed to contain many other bacteria organisms causing people to have a myraid of symptoms that quickly evolve into chronic disease. Who would have ever guessed this little critter known as the deer tick would be the source of a very mysterious and debilatating disease? A disease with symptoms overlapping those of many other diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to name a few. The disease? Lyme Disease.
In 1981 the cause, a spiral shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) was discovered, yet not many in conveniontal medicine knew what to do with this newly discovered bacteria. This spirochete is now known to be able to invade every organ in the body. It has now become far more prevalent than AIDS and West Nile virus and is showing up in states where Lyme has never been known to exist. We now know that isn’t just carried by ticks. It can be found in semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, tear ducts and even the blood supply. Co-infections are growing and Lyme is now recognized by some to be a mutating disease. There is also suggestion that we need to label Lyme as an STD because teens are giving it to each other through unprotected sex.
With the recent nuclear catastrophe happening in Japan as well as the probability that nuclear events will continue to be a part of our world, it’s prudent to have good reference information as to how the body can be supported (using natural means) and protected should high radiation exposure become a reality. Knowledge and information empower and should always propel one toward effective preparation and planning, not fear. The power of fear is destructive in that it paralyzes resulting in unwise decisions. Along with knowledge and preparedness, we must also be aware of the very real probability that the general public will not be privy to factual information. Hopefully my readers will copy this information and place in a safe place for future reference.
Fighting Radiation & Chemical Pollutants with Foods, Herbs, & Vitamins by Steven R. Schechter, ND was required reading when I was studying for my ND. It’s difficult now to find copies at a reasonable price of this out of print but very informational book. Below are some of the chapter titles and information that Dr. Schechter deals with in his book as well as some of my own research/suggestions. (more…)
In the video below, Jeffrey Smith (Institute for Responsible Technology) is interviewed by Dr. Joseph Mercola about Non-GMO month. Oasis Advanced Wellness has dedicated our October 2010 newsletter, Advanced Health and Wellness, to information concerning GMO foods. Hidden Dangers in Kid’s Meals is another excellent video by Jeffrey Smith that all parents and grandparents should view. This video is also available below – parts 1-3. Please take the time to watch both videos and educate yourself.
According to Michael O’Heaney ”the big cosmetics companies aren’t such big fans of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010—legislation recently introduced to require more strict regulation of their business—or of our new movie. The Personal Care Products Council went so far as to issue a statement calling The Story of Cosmetics a ‘repugnant and absurd…shockumentary.’” There’s a good reason the cosmetics industry doesn’t like all the attention it’s getting: for years, they’ve been largely left alone to decide what’s safe to put in their products. You know, things like lead in lipstick. Neurotoxins in body spray. Carcinogens in baby wash.
It’s time that consumers know exactly what is in everything that is put on or in their body. Gone are the days when we should place blind trust and faith in huge manufacturers and corporations to give us safe personal care products and food. We now know that their track record is not one that has come from an interest in consumer safety.
There are several reasons why a boycott of major grocery producers would be a rational and appropriate response. Issues like genetically modified foods (GMO) and the mistreatment of animals bred for consumption are a couple that come quickly to mind.
However, there is currently a piece of major legislation being considered by the U.S. Senate, known as the Food Safety Modernization Act, which has drawn out the ire and political clout of the grocery industry. Senator Diane Feinstein of California is pushing for an amendment that would ban a substance called Bisphenol-A (or BPA as it is more commonly called) from use in all food and beverage containers. The scientific research is very convincing that BPA is a dangerous toxin, but groups such as the Grocery Manufacturers Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are up in arms about the proposed amendment. The bottom line is money – to no surprise – as these groups are more concerned with profits than they are about the health of their customers. (more…)
According to an FDA press release on April 8th, 2010 the FDA has decided to begin studies on the safety of Triclosan a common chemical ingredient in antibacterial cosmetics, soaps, body washes and other personal care products. Triclosan is also found in products such as clothing (marketed as Microban®), socks, kitchenware, furniture, and toys. Recent research on animals suggests that Triclosan may have negative effects on the endocrine system, which is responsible for secreting hormones that help regulate growth, mood, metabolism, etc. Past research has indicated that the chemical might help to create bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
According to the FDA website, www.fda.gov, in January 2010, Rep. Edward J. Markey, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, sent a letter to the FDA requesting information about the status of FDA’s ongoing review of triclosan in consumer products. In responding to the Chairman’s letter, the FDA explained that, in light of animal studies raising questions about triclosan’s safety, the agency is engaged in an ongoing scientific review to incorporate the most up-to-date data and information into the regulations that govern consumer products containing triclosan. The FDA does not have sufficient safety evidence to recommend changing consumer use of products that contain triclosan at this time. Studies are not scheduled to be completed until the Spring of 2011 and in the meantime Triclosan continues to be included in a growing amount of products.
The results of continual marketing and use of harmful pesticides and herbicides on our lawns, playgrounds and golf courses are now showing up as very real health concerns for many Americans, especially children. It seems that a beautiful lawn and the status it brings is becoming more important than our long-term safety and health. Chemical companies continue their mantra that poisons are really safe and cause no harm to our environment or health. We now have enough evidence that this is not what evidence is showing. Enough is Enough. It’s time to take a look at the real truth and not from someone trying to sell you a “green lawn.” Try something different this year — first educate yourself about the organic lawn movement and organic gardening and then put into practice what you have learned. I think you will find that you can still have a beautiful lawn and productive garden without the hazards of chemicals. And when your neghbors ask — take the time to share and educate! Most of the information below is from www.safelawns.org
“Medical radiation, introduced into medicine in 1896, became and remains a necessary causal co-actor in over half of the fatal cases of cancer in the USA, and became and remains a necessary causal co-actor also in over half of the fatal cases of ischemic heart disease (coronary artery disease) in the USA. From these conclusions plus the fact that x-ray harm is approximately proportional to accumulated x-ray dose, it follows that a very great deal of future cancer and ischemic hearet disease (IHD) could be prevented by reducing the dose-levels customarily administered during x-ray imaging procedures, especially CT and fluoroscopy. Indeed, it is very often feasible to get good images with half (or less) of the customary dose. Doing so could prevent about 250,000 premature deaths every year in the USA, by our estimate. The conclusions above are obviously so important for human health that they demand thoughtful, independent scruitiny, i.e., peer-review.”

The following information is from The Robert Scott Bell Show. It is important that this information get out and that everyone understand that we are now seeing some of the serious health concerns arising from the flu vaccine. We knew this would happen and in fact Pharmaceutical companies knew this would happen, but to them it is all about what is good for “the masses.” Individual health and well-being means nothing when it comes to this type of philosophy. I don’t know about you but my individual health and that of my family is a HUGE concern for me!
In case you don’t know who Desiree Jennings is, she is the young woman who has made headline news because of being severely injured from taking a flu shot. This is a breaking story. Please share this with everyone you know so more people can hear the truth before they are injured or killed from the flu shot.
Gary Null passionately speaks out at the NYS Assembly Hearing (10-13-2009). Gary Null tells it like it is, speaking against the deadly swine flu vaccine and big pharma. This is important information that most people do not know. Please listen carefully and pass on to everyone you know. The truth needs to get out!
Filmed at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccinations (sponsored by the National Vaccine Information Center) in October, 2009, you will find it interesting what these particular health professionals have to say about vaccine safety. You will also find these comments much different than what is heard on the nightly news or the morning news shows. For more information about vaccines and vaccinations see Vaccinations in the OAW Health Knowledge Base.
Been seeing a lot of pink ribbons lately? It’s a sure sign that it’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month again, an annual event that has been recognized every October since 1985.
It is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and over a dozen other medical, governmental, and professional organizations.
