pesticides!
during a hot California summer, fleas are an epidemic! if you’ve got a pet- you’ve got fleas!
products like FrontLine are not only uber expensive, but also uber toxic to you and your pets! notice the warnings and precautionary instructions that such products bear! up until now the punishment for forgetting FrontLine has been an agonizing one: nights spent tossing and turning due to the excruciating burning of flea bitten ankles.
similarly- cockroaches in the kitchen are enough to send even the biggest “health freak” to Vons at midnight for a desperate can of RAID!
well, say “good-bye” to those nasty pesticides forever. there is a natural alternative- and it actually works!
meet Diatomaceous Earth. DE is nothing more than the remains of microscopic one-celled plants called diatoms. this fine powder has razor sharp edges on a microscopic level and kills insects on contact. it is not only safe for you, your pets and your garden but actually beneficial since it is chock-full of essential minerals! it can be sprinkled around your garden, swept into the crevices of your hardwood floors, brushed into your pets between baths and even fed to your pets as a dietary supplement against parasites!
it is a light powder, so avoid breathing in too much. i suggest wearing a cloth over your mouth while administering or it can be mixed with water. make sure you get a food grade quality DE and not pool filter DE. a great brand is available here in my store.
the body has a very small margin for fluctuation of PH level. as a matter of fact your blood must be constantly kept at a specific PH because if it falls even the slightest bit- you die. PH levels range from alkaline to acidic- and your blood must stay alkaline.
some foods are “acid forming” others “alkaline forming”, meaning they create different reactions in the blood. this can get confusing, lemons are an acidic fruit but are extremely “alkaline forming” to the body.
your body works continuously to maintain your PH level. “acid forming” foods will bring the blood PH down and put your body in danger if processed all at once. to avoid this the body must store acidic matter somewhere far from the main flow of blood. your fatty deposits are simply the acidic wastes that your body could not process.
therefore, eating a diet of only “acid forming” foods will make you fat.
we can take this one step further:
your fatty deposits are avoided getting minimal blood flow and therefore minimal oxygen flow (since blood carries oxygen). it is known that cancerous cells can only form in the absence of oxygen. therefore, eating a diet of only “acid forming” foods can predispose you to cancer.
here’s what you can do:
1) exercise. exercise forces blood into the fatty deposits of the body, cleaning out acidic waste.
2) get plenty of sleep. this is when your body rejuvenates and alkalizes.
3) eat a diet of 70% alkaline and 30% acid forming foods.
4) use an infrared sleeping pad. far infrared waves increase circulation, cleaning the body of acidic waste. (see store)
come back soon for a complete list of alkaline and acid forming foods.
this is serious folks. the New York Times reports that the health care bill vote could be as early as thursday – in 24 hours.
we already know that the big pharma has the U.S. government in it’s pocket. we already know that the FDA is controlled by corporate interests. we already know that conventional medicine has sold out.
with ObamaCare you will get less freedom of choice, fewer alternatives to conventional medicine and more funding to big pharma.
here’s what you can do: go to www.congress.org now and type in your zip code. this will bring you to a page with your congressman (or woman’s) contact info. call the Washington D.C. office and tell the receptionist that you would like to leave a message for your congressman (or woman). explain that you are a constituent and you want him or her to know that you are completely opposed to the health care bill. you can also send faxes and emails! do this now!
psychotropic “mood-altering” drugs!
stress, anxiety, depression, nervousness. these manifestations are simply signs that something isn’t right! the source is for you to find. i think you’ll find it a lot easier if you are not stoned on Prozac. know what i mean?
it may be something or someone in your life: i once knew a girl who had such anxiety that she couldn’t hold down a meal. she lost about 20 pounds. her “boyfriend” at the time was openly cheating on her and frequently made remarks about her figure being too boyish. when she lost the jerk she lost the anxiety. make sense?
sometimes the source is physical: food allergies can cause restlessness and nervous tension. vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause the same effect. the sad thing is that many people who suffer from anxiety due to a simple deficiency mistakenly turn to psychotropic drugs which in turn make the deficiency 10 times worse.
in this installment of “There’s No Need to Buy:” we will discuss simple solutions for mental stress.
1) look over your life and the people in it. is there anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself? ditch them.
2) start exercising on a daily basis. lack of exercise can cause insomnia, anxiety, fatigue and even depression!
3) write down a list of all the things you need to do. check them off one by one. this is extremely therapeutic.
4) change your diet. a poor diet can cause every symptom above. less processed foods, more whole foods.
5) clean and organize your house or apartment. top to bottom. see “There’s No Need To Buy: (part 1)”.
6) take vitamin b1. a deficiency in this b vitamin is known to cause depression. remember to take it with a good multi-vitamin so it can be completely absorbed.
7) make sure you’re getting enough calcium and magnesium. a deficiency in these minerals can cause restlessness and tension. go to the health food store and pick up some “calmag”.
8) get therapeutic massage. now were starting to relax!
9) get checked for food allergies. find a good naturopathic doctor.
10) get checked for anemia. this can be done with a blood test. anemia can make you feel lethargic and fatigued.
11) if you feel particularly fatigued and tired, get checked for mono…. seriously.
i found this interesting. check out www.iloveco2.org. i want the t-shirt.
cold/flu medicines & antibiotics!
many common ailments can be treated naturally without the use of drugs. drugs weaken the system overall when used unnecessarily.
for example, the over-use of antibiotics causes a weak immune system. a fever is your body’s effort to kill off bad bacteria. a runny nose is the body’s effort to flush something out. moreover, the body has bad bacteria and good bacteria. antibiotics kill all bacteria. that’s why the doctor recommends eating yogurt while on an antibiotic (yogurt contains good bacteria). that’s also why many women get yeast infections after taking an antibiotic. all the good bacteria is dead and the balance goes off.
although antibiotics can save lives and are extremely valuable in dire situations, they are not always necessary. if you are only moderately ill it is actually wiser to let the illness run it’s course.
here are a few things you can do to assist the body in healing itself:
1) take garlic for a cold/flu. garlic boosts immunity and helps the body fight infection.
2) eat lemon for a cold/flu. with the first signs of illness i start eating as many lemons as i can get down! all that vitamin c will usually knock it right out.
3) cut out all white sugar. no cookies, no ice cream, no soda, no juice. nothing but water to drink.
4) drink as much water as possible. i try to get down a gallon in a day if i’m feeling ill.
5) take niacin for a cold/flu. niacin is a b vitamin which causes a hot flush. the flush helps to kill off bad bacteria just like a fever. (don’t take too much!)
6) take a steam shower or sauna. again, heat is working to kill off infection.
7) take acidophilus and colloidal silver. available at most health food stores, these supplements boost immunity and promote healthy bacteria.
8) cayenne pepper for a sore throat. i gargle a little bit in water. cayenne is also works to clean the blood. i take it in pill form daily.
9) hydrogen peroxide for a sore throat. if the cayenne is too spicy try this as a gargle.
10) change your lifestyle for better immunity. if you are prone to colds and flus try- cutting down on white sugar, eating more raw fruits and veggies, cutting down on dairy, cutting out all artificial sweeteners completely, drinking more water, cutting out all fast food, taking garlic daily, taking cayenne daily, exercising daily to a healthy sweat.
