Why drinking tap water and using regular toothpaste can be detrimental to your health.
Fluoride is a chemical that is added to 60% of the American water supply and frequently added to toothpaste.
While government agencies try to convince you that it is healthy for you and your children and will help prevent tooth decay, the truth is that it is a dangerous chemical that negatively impacts your health.
It is now believed that excess Fluoride in the water is linked to the epidemic of hypothyroidism (under- active thyroid) in the States and is linked to other health concerns like low IQ in children, headaches, arthritis, neurological problems and even cancer.
In fact, doctors used to treat HYPER thyroidism (over active thyroid) with Fluoride, since it suppresses the function of the thyroid. !
Fluoride and Iodine are both members of the halogen group, which means when combined in the body, they have an antagonistic effect. Since Iodine is a key nutrient in proper thyroid function, it makes sense that too much Fluoride counteracts 
the Iodine in the body, which will lead to thyroid problems.

Excess estrogen in men are not only detrimental to your good looks (they contribute to the enlargement of the male breasts, so called gynecomastia) but are also very dangerous to your health.
Studies found that excess estrogen:
• Can double the risk of a stroke (when estradiol blood levels are greater than 34.1 pg/mL)
• Increases the risk of cardiovascular events and deaths
• Is correlated with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (especially when testosterone levels are low)
• Increases C-reactive protein. A marker for inflammation in the body
• Plays an important role in the development of the benign enlargement of the prostate-:BPH
• And more recently, is also linked to Prostate Cancer.
So what are the clinical symptoms?
• Enlarged breasts
• Low sex drive
• Excess belly fat
• Depression, fatigue and low energy

Why acid reflux doesn’t mean you have too much stomach acid-but the opposite!
Most of us have experienced at some point of our lives periods of stomach upset, a burning session in the stomach and sometimes also in the esophagus.
For some people, this is not just an occasional situation, but they pretty much live with these symptoms.
Going to a Western trained MD, he quickly will diagnose you with “acid reflux” or GERD: Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease.
He will say that too much acid in your stomach causes this condition.
He then will prescribe a powerful drug like “Nexium”, a so called proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that inhibits the stomach cells to produce any more Hydrochloric Acid (HLC). This can alleviate the symptoms for a while, but in the long term it will make the condition worse.

I am sure you know that Vitamin D- the “Sunshine Vitamin”- is good for you- but it might be even better and more important for you than you are aware of.
Vitamin D itself is biologically inactive, and it must be transformed by the liver into its biologically active form. You can get your Vitamin D through consuming foods that are rich in Vitamin D (like eggs, fish, or cod liver oil), or you get it by going outside and exposing your skin to the sun. The action of the ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation will stimulate the epidermis to produce Vitamin D.
One of the important functions of vitamin D is to enhance the absorption of calcium form food. This is the reason it reduces the risk of rickets, osteoporosis and bone fractures.

We all know about the healing properties of Vitamin C or E, but have you ever heard about Coenzyme Q10?
This is a coenzyme that is ubiquitous (meaning “everywhere”) in our cells— that’s why it is also called “ Ubiquinone.” It is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a major role in the energy production in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of our cells. Without enough CoQ10 your cells can’t function and will die.
Clinical studies reveal CoQ10 to be a potent anti-oxidant, which protects the cells from so-called free radical damage, which can lead to cancer and many other diseases. At least 200mg a day is suggested for circulatory disorders and up to 2400mg per day for neurological illnesses, like Parkinson’s disease. Read the rest of this entry »
