The Myth of Safe Bio-Identical Hormones and 9 Reasons To Avoid This Toxic Therapy

By | Published Thursday, June 18, 2015

 



'Promoters of bio-identical hormones claim that they are anti-aging, increase sex drive, prevent cancer and have little to no risks or side effects. After all, when a person doesn't have enough hormones, the solution is to give them more hormones right? 

It's a short-sighted objective based on the far too frequent model of treating symptoms rather than the root causes of illness. Only clever marketing has duped millions of women into thinking that bio-identical hormones are any safer than the toxic FDA-approved hormone replacement products. They are not safe, not natural, and bluntly stated, are disease promoting drugs.'

'Green leaf, red leaf, butterhead and iceberg are just a few common types of lettuce available at most markets. However, in terms of nutrient density, none are healthier than Romaine. 

There are plenty of other green leafs which are even healthier such as spinach, kale, arugula, radicchio, endive etc, but for common lettuce types, romaine is king. Leafy greens in general are likely the number one food you can eat to regularly help improve your health.

If you start your meal with a salad made of romaine lettuce you will be sure to add not only a variety of textures and flavors to your meal but an enormous amount of nutritional value. Most of the domestic U.S. harvest of romaine lettuce and other salad greens comes from California and is available throughout the year.'

 5-reasons-not-to-vaccinate


'Should you vaccinate your children? Or not? Making the decision whether or not to vaccinate your child is difficult, especially for those who are on the fence. It’s not a choice that should be made lightly. It’s important to cut through the heat of the controversy and discover what the real issues are and make an informed decision. 

I only decided not to vaccinate my daughter after researching the subject on my own and concluding that the benefits of vaccination do not outweigh the risks. And the risks can be extremely serious.
 
Here are five succinct reasons not to vaccinate your children. This is not an exhaustive list. If you are on the fence, you can use it as a starting point to dig deeper. If you already made the decision not to vaccinate, you can pass this along to friends and family who may have questions.'

When to Get a Tetanus Shot - Holistic Squid


'Everyone knows that if you step on a rusty nail you’d better get a tetanus shot, right? Well, my gut was has been saying no for this vaccine, but I honestly wasn’t sure what I’d do if one of my outdoor roaming kids came home with a dirty, nasty cut. So I decided to do some research…

Tetanus, sometimes called ‘lockjaw’, is caused when the tetanus bacteria (Clostridium tetani) gets in the blood stream and releases a nervous system toxin called tetanospasmin.

Most tetanus comes from soil, animal feces or dust. Puncture wounds are notable because tetanus-harboring dirt or dust collected on the sharp object and be driven into the body. The nail is simply the carrier of the bacteria into the body’s blood stream. (source)

When there’s enough oxygen to a wound, the tetanus bacteria can’t survive and its toxin won’t proliferate. In cases when the bacteria thrives, the infected person may experience stiffening of the jaw and other major muscles, severe muscle spasms, headaches, fever, trouble swallowing, and even death.'

'The other day I went to the farmer’s market in Santa Monica and spent some time talking to Jack Bezian of Bezian’s Bakery, the home of Los Angeles Sourdough. I say “spent some time” which makes it sound like twenty minutes or so, but the truth is I must have talked to him for a couple of hours.

The man is a font of fascinating information about health, nutrition, probiotics, gluten intolerance, and fermented foods. He’s been baking traditional sourdough bread since 1966. I’m not talking about the fake stuff you find in grocery stores — this is bread made from a living sourdough starter.

Most modern bread is made with baker’s yeast. Sourdough starter is the traditional way of making bread. It’s how everyone used to make bread before they had commercial baker’s yeast. There are many advantages to eating naturally fermented bread instead of modern bread made with yeast.'

 "Dress warm or you'll catch a cold" said every parent that ever existed. While it's partially true that the body's optimal temperature is a significant player in a well-functioning immune system, that's only part of the equation.

10 Reasons Why You Need Vitamin B12

By | Published Sunday, June 22, 2014

Mussels


'Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that keeps the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell in the human body, and is necessary for DNA synthesis and regulation, as well as fatty acid synthesis and energy production. The benefits of vitamin B12 start in the womb, are vital during infancy, and protect you from disease throughout your life.

Not getting enough B12 causes tiredness, weakness, changes in elimination, loss of appetite, and weight loss—all symptoms of megaloblastic anemia, a condition characterized by very large red blood cells. It comes on slowly, especially when compared to that of other types of anemia, so can be hard to diagnose in its early stages.'

6 Reasons Calorie Counting Is Crazy

6 Reasons Calorie Counting Is Crazy


'Despite the fact that every lasting healthy lifestyle (whole foods, Paleo, vegetarian, low-carb, low-glycemic, Mediterranean, etc.) focuses on what we eat rather than how much we eat, the mainstream still seems to insist that if we just counted our calories more conservatively, we could end the obesity epidemic. The proven fact is that calorie-counting approaches fail 95.4% of the time. That's a higher failure rate than quitting smoking cold turkey.

Blindly eating less to cure obesity is like breathing less to cure allergies. It may offer temporary "relief" but ultimately fails because it is masking symptoms rather than fixing causes. Will eating only 1,200 of anything cause you to lose weight? Yes. So will cutting off your leg. That doesn't mean either is a good idea.'

'Last week, my first blog on this very sensitive topic called "8 Reasons I Haven't Vaccinated my Daughter" went viral on MindBodyGreen, being shared almost 50,000 times in the first week. There has been such an outpouring of support from all over the world that has been very humbling. Given the imminent direction vaccination policy in going, it seems like a good time to speak up.
