The Choice or Love or Fear is Ours

"A child whose life is full of the threat and fear of punishment is locked into babyhood. There is no way for him to grow up, to learn to take responsibility for his life and acts. Most important of all, we should not assume that having to yield to the threat of our superior force is good for the child's character. It is never good for anyone's character." - John Holt

Fluoride Causes Premature Births, Brain Degradation, Bone Loss, Cancer and Hormone Disruption | Natural News.com

Fluoride Causes Premature Births, Brain Degradation, Bone Loss, Cancer and Hormone Disruption
Wednesday, December 09, 2009 by: Ethan Huff, citizen journalist

(NaturalNews) A recent study conducted by researchers from the State University of New York (SUNY) found that fluoride ingestion may be responsible for causing premature births. Presented to the American Public Health Association at its annual meeting, these findings ratchet up yet another detrimental consequence of ingesting this toxic poison that is added to most American municipal water supplies.

Sodium fluoride, a waste byproduct of the aluminum industry, is touted by most mainstream health bureaucracies as one of the greatest public health achievements ever discovered. The American Dental Association praises the medication of the public through fluoridated municipal water supplies, claiming that it has done wonders to prevent tooth decay. A simple investigation beyond the glaringly false rhetoric, however, reveals the dirty reality behind fluoride and the incredible harm it inflicts upon those who ingest it.

Contrary to popular belief, fluoride is not a natural substance; it is the byproduct of the aluminum and nuclear industries' use of fluorine gas. The Merck Index lists fluoride's primary use as rat and cockroach poison and it is a known carcinogen. It wasn't until the 1950s that the FDA was somehow convinced that the poison allegedly helped protect teeth.

Fluoride used in Nazi death camps
The first known instances of deliberate water fluoridation were in Nazi Germany ghettos and prison camps. Sodium fluoride was added to the human inmates' water to sterilize them and to cause them to become docile, subservient subjects willing to comply with orders.

Charles Perkins, a research chemist, wrote a letter to the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in 1954 about fluoride. In it, he stated that repeated ingestion of low doses of fluoride over a long period of time will destroy the areas of the human brain that trigger resistance to tyranny and unlawful coercion and control.

Conditions caused by fluoride ingestion
Fluoride ingestion is responsible for causing thyroid dysfunction. The National Research Council (NRC) warns that ingestion of .01 - .03 mg/kg/day of fluoride, which is easily achieved by drinking fluoridated water, can severely inhibit proper thyroid function.

Other problems caused by fluoride include dental fluorosis, a disease of the teeth, weakening of bones and bone loss, bone cancer, kidney problems, and hormone disruption.

Many communities have succeeded in removing fluoride from their water supplies through local campaigns and ballot measures. Since medical professionals and organizations are increasingly becoming opposed to fluoride use, the momentum is stronger than ever to rid the nation's water supplies of toxic fluoride.

The Ultimate Payback for Culprits Responsible for Sneaking Mercury into Your Mouth? Put Them OUT OF BUSINESS!

The Ultimate Payback for Culprits Responsible for Sneaking Mercury into Your Mouth? Put Them OUT OF BUSINESS!
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
December 05 2009

The missteps of President Obama’s two FDA appointees - Commissioner Margaret Hamburg and Principal Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein – could not deviate any further from the President’s stated mission.

President Obama previously explained that "exposure to mercury leads to serious developmental problems in children. The EPA estimates that every year, more than one in six children could be at risk for developmental disorders."

Acknowledging that government coziness with industry could inhibit such goals, the president promised to halt the revolving door that permits officials to oscillate between regulatee and regulator. Curiously, FDA's new commissioner, Margaret Hamburg, slipped into office through that revolving door.

Hamburg continued to hold Henry Schein stock options after becoming commissioner. (Henry Schein Inc. is America’s no. 1 seller of mercury amalgam.) Consistent with Obama ethical requirements, she signed a contract limiting her participation in actions affecting Schein while she retained this financial interest.

Then came her first test: a rule to determine warnings for amalgam fillings, products that contain 50 percent mercury but are deceptively marketed to the public as "silver fillings."

Skirting the contract she signed, Hamburg worked on the amalgam rule, which now allows amalgam to be sold without disclosing to consumers that it contains mercury.

The FDA even pulled from its consumer Web site a warning that amalgam could cause neurological harm to children and fetuses, burying it on a Web page entitled "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff" - a place no parent will look.

Consumers for Dental Choice






Dr. Mercola's Comments:



Some of you may not realize this, but President Obama, to his credit, is a staunch opponent of mercury in products, such as dental amalgam. However, his campaign promises of phasing out this toxic product from dental offices in America have been largely ignored by the FDA, where industry shills are again running the show, and working against public health for the benefit of industry.

As you may recall, I ran a series of articles on this issue back in September, asking you to get involved. Many of you did. In fact, the grassroots protest against this mercury ruling has been astounding!

But we’re not done yet…

Join in the Professionals’ Boycott of Henry Schein Inc.!

As explained by Charlie Brown in the above interview, the boycott of Henry Schein Inc has begun, and we are again asking for your involvement and support.

Consumers for Dental Choice officially announced the boycott of ALL Henry Schein products on November 16 – a boycott that will stay in effect until Schein announces it will cease selling mercury amalgam.

From all across the world, health professionals are now endorsing the boycott of Henry Schein Inc.

Health professionals include not only dentists, but physicians, dental hygienists, nurses, naturopaths, dental assistants, medical technicians, and others.

Mr. Brown states:

“We are boycotting all of Schein’s medical, dental, and other products. But Schein CEO Stanley Bergman can end it with the stroke of a pen.

All he needs do is stop selling mercury amalgam.”

We want to give everyone a chance to endorse this boycott. So please, spread the news and ask your friends, family, and colleagues to join in!

All that is needed is an email from you stating you’d like to add your signature.

If you are a health professional, please sign the Health Professionals version of the letter by emailing your name/professional degree/city/state to charlie@toxicteeth.org. (Please remember to include your degree/professional title!)

If you are NOT a health professional, please endorse the Consumer letter in support of the boycotters by emailing your name/city/state to sylvia@toxicteeth.org.

If you’re outside the US, please include your name, plus city/nation.

I urge you to take this one simple step right NOW! It will literally take you less than one minute to take a stand on this important public health issue.

Together we can help stop the completely unnecessary use of this dangerous neurotoxin, which should NEVER be placed in anyone’s mouth.

Vitamin D myths, facts and statistics | NaturalNews.com

Vitamin D myths, facts and statisticsSaturday, January 01, 2005
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com

Fifteen facts you probably never knew about vitamin D and sunlight exposure.(Compiled by Mike Adams, based on an interview with Dr. Michael Holick, author, The UV Advantage)

Vitamin D prevents osteoporosis, depression, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and even effects diabetes and obesity. Vitamin D is perhaps the single most underrated nutrient in the world of nutrition. That's probably because it's free: your body makes it when sunlight touches your skin. Drug companies can't sell you sunlight, so there's no promotion of its health benefits. Truth is, most people don't know the real story on vitamin D and health. So here's an overview taken from an interview between Mike Adams and Dr. Michael Holick.

Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.

The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot penetrate glass. So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.
It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body.

A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet.

The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. states are far from the equator.

People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency.

Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless.

Chronic vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight: it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.

Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease -- by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.

It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in your body from sunlight exposure: your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
If it hurts to press firmly on your sternum, you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now.

Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used.

Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair your body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D.

The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.

Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body makes it absolutely free. No prescription required.

On the issue of sunlight exposure, by the way, it turns out that super antioxidants greatly boost your body's ability to handle sunlight without burning. Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful "internal sunscreens" and can allow you to stay under the sun twice as long without burning. Other powerful antioxidants with this ability include the superfruits like Acai, Pomegranates (POM Wonderful juice), blueberries, etc.


Diseases and conditions cause by vitamin D deficiency:

• Osteoporosis is commonly caused by a lack of vitamin D, which greatly impairs calcium absorption.




• Sufficient vitamin D prevents prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, colon cancer and schizophrenia.




• "Rickets" is the name of a bone-wasting disease caused by vitamin D deficiency.
  Vitamin D deficiency may exacerbate type 2 diabetes and impair insulin production in the pancreas.




• Obesity impairs vitamin D utilization in the body, meaning obese people need twice as much vitamin D.




• Vitamin D is used around the world to treat Psoriasis.




• Vitamin D deficiency causes schizophrenia.




• Seasonal Affective Disorder is caused by a melatonin imbalance initiated by lack of exposure to sunlight.




• Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia because its symptoms are so similar: muscle weakness, aches and pains.




• Your risk of developing serious diseases like diabetes and cancer is reduced 50% - 80% through simple, sensible exposure to natural sunlight 2-3 times each week.




• Infants who receive vitamin D supplementation (2000 units daily) have an 80% reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes over the next twenty years.

Shocking Vitamin D deficiency statistics:

• 32% of doctors and med school students are vitamin D deficient.




• 40% of the U.S. population is vitamin D deficient.




• 42% of African American women of childbearing age are deficient in vitamin D.




• 48% of young girls (9-11 years old) are vitamin D deficient.




• Up to 60% of all hospital patients are vitamin D deficient.




• 76% of pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient, causing widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient.




• Up to 80% of nursing home patients are vitamin D deficient.

What you can do:
Sensible exposure to natural sunlight is the simplest, easiest and yet one of the most important strategies for improving your health. I urge you to read the book, "The UV Advantage" by Dr. Michael Holick to get the full story on natural sunlight. You can find this book at most local bookstores or through BN.com, Amazon.com, etc. Note: This is not a paid endorsement or an affiliate link. I recommend it because of its great importance in preventing chronic disease and enhancing health without drugs or surgery. This may be the single most important book on health you ever read. If more people understood this information, we could drastically reduce the rates of chronic disease in this country and around the world.

The UV Advantage

Sunlight exposure is truly one of the most powerful healing therapies in the world, far surpassing the best efforts of today's so-called "advanced medicine." There is no drug, no surgical procedure, and no high-tech procedure that comes even close to the astonishing healing power of natural sunlight.

And you can get it free of charge. That's why nobody's promoting it, of course.

Altered Foods - GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)

What we call Altered Foods:

GMO

Genetically Modified Organisms

Bio-Engineered Products

Genetically Engineered

Modified Foods

Bovine Growth Hormones

Irradiated Foods

Cold Pasteurized Foods


Since 1995 Three nations produce 99% of all Engineered Foods

74% United States
15% Argentina
10% Canada

"Genetic engineering means the basic DNA molecules are redesigned to create new forms of life. Genes are the DNA blueprint building blocks found in all lving things. This new technology enables the manufacturers to break down genetic barriers between species and among humans, animals and plants. The genes from viruses, bacteria and antibiotics can be inserted into foods altering their genetic codes or their patters of DNA and these changes can be passed onto future generations. the extensive potential health and economic ramifications of this type of engineering can be endless."


The Major Genetically Altered Foods include:

Milk & Dairy products

Soybeans

Soy Oil

Corn

Tomatoes

Potatoes

Squash

Carrots

certain Fish

Sugar Beets

Wheat

Rice

Papaya

Cotton

Oil of Canola & Cottonseed

more very day!


Examples of specific gene combinations:

Silkworm gene found in apples and apple juice

Petunia gene in soybeans and carrots

Barley gene in walnuts

Chicken gene in potatoes

Flounder gene in tomatoes

Cancer chicken virus as carrier so growth hormone gene can be implanted into farmed fish to grow faster

Leukemia virus used in chicken to carry genes into developing poultry

Scorpion poison genes used in cabbage to control catepillars

Antibiotic resistent genes used in foods as markers to indicate successful gene to gene engineering



"Mandatory labeling unfortunatelly is not required in spite of a recent survey showing 93% of the United States public favors labeling. this means there is presently no way you can tell exactly what you are eating. (Canada 90% and Europe 70-80%)"


Pros and Cons of Genetically Altered Foods

Pro

• Shelf life is increased significantly
• Food looks edible even thought it is very old (normal ripening and decay is stopped)
• Food looks the same but the living cells have been totally annihilated
• Many germs in irradiated foods are killed

Con

• Irradiation does not ensure safe meat. It kills most bacteria but it does not destroy the toxins created during early stages of spoilage. In additions, beneficial microorganisms that can produce odors to warn of spoilage are killed so you have no warning whent he irradiated food is eventually spoiled.
• Irradiation does not prevent hepatitis or kill viruses (mad cow disease).
• Irradiation does not reduce feces or debris from dirtly slughter house contamiation.
• Radiation causes aflotoxins to form from mold spores (contribute to liver cancer).
• Radiation causes radiolytic products to form such as formaldehyde and benzene. (cause mutation/cellular damage and cancer)
• Flavor, odor and texture are altered.
• Exposing food to the equivalent of over a billion chest xrays depletes vitamins (A, B complex, C, E, K and beta carotene) and 20-80% loss of any nutrients, amino acids and essential fatty acids.
• Irradation increases (maybe even double) price of food. Irradiated meat can cost 20-75 cents more per pound.
• Workers exposed to irradation have shown illness.

Taken from "Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call" by Doris J Rapp, MD


GREAT! I know that now I am excited about going to my local national chain to buy food. This hopefully will help you rethink everything!!!!

Now how do you know what you are eating. What foods have been compromised? How do we even know what foods we have become sensative to if these have been manipulated at such an extreme level.

BUY ORGANIC and KNOW YOUR LOCAL GROWERS. Go pet your food and be able to pick what you are eating in the field. Know what you are eating. Know if the employees that grow or car for the feed are taken care of as well.

Life is too short. Let's make decisions that are going to ensure our wellbeing and protect us from ... the parts of life that are outside of our control. Our food... should be fresh, real, safe and ALIVE! The food we eat needs love, care and attention. We are what we eat. Bless our food and we are blessed.

Think about all this the next time you walk around the market and are trying to find some good food to eat... It might look pretty on the outside but what happened to that food before is arrived on the shelf, bin or basket. Truly how real is it? What are you eating?
