The Fluoride Deception

Fluoride is a gas, an element that occurs naturally in its free state. It is considered a trace mineral, a nutrient for human nutrition. However, the type of fluoride added to our tap water-drinking water is man-made and has no nutritional value. Synthetic fluoride is hydrofluoric acid  which is a compound of fluorine that is chemical by product of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing.  Hydrofluoric acid is used to refine high octane gasoline to make fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons used in  computer screens, fluorescent light bulbs, semiconductors, freezer, herbicides, air conditioner, plastics, toothpaste. Fluoride is the active toxin in rat poisons and cockroach powder. When this synthetic fluoride comes in contact with skin, severe burning can occur to the flesh down to the bone, it can destroy the eye, the lungs and liver, leaving these organs dead and drown in body tissue- (inflammation); Fluoride can mutate cell and destroy body enzymes essential for living.

In 1970, an Austrian researcher proved that 1ppm fluoride concentration can disrupt DNA repair enzymes by 50%. This caused malfunction in the enzyme shape (these enzymes are proteins) causing cell mutation, Note that foreign proteins cause autoimmune diseases such as lupus, arthritis, asthma, Osteoporosis, bone tissue damage, arteriosclerosis, collagen breakdown, eczema, tissue damage, skin wrinkling, genetic damage, cancer and premature aging of the body. Also fluoride can cause damage to the immune system, kidney and liver, brain , thyroid, digestive system, respiratory system, and can negatively affect blood circulation.

Dr. Alesen, who was the president of the California Medical Association, says that the facts about fluoride is beyond a shadow of doubt, fluoride has caused thousands of cases of osteoporosis, skeletal thinning, fractures, "rubber bones," anemia, and rickets.
Fluoride cause osteoporosis because it deactivates and precipitate calcium, causing low blood calcium, as well as the buildup of calcium stones and crystals in the joints and organs.

Water fluoridation is the single largest case of scientific fraud, promoted by the government, supported by taxpayer dollars, aided and abetted by the ADA and the AMA, in the history of the planet. Sodium Fluoride is a registered rat and roach poison. This pollutant has been kept secret for a longtime, worse off they even add it to our water system and tell us lies about how it prevents tooth decay but we notice that the number of people suffering tooth problems like cavities and tooth decay has not decrease, so if fluoride is really good for our bones and teeth why is there so many people living with dentures and fractured bones (osteoporosis).  This is the ploy of some BIG water and drugging industries (Codex) because what is said about fluoride is neglected by them, they refuse to admit its harmful effects on living tissues-human/animal. This is maddening to me, i hope is frustrating for you- Because i think they owe it to the lives that have been lost from fluoride poisoning and to the people especially children, pregnant women who are unknowingly still drinking water to remove fluoride from our municipal water. "sodium fluoride is a very toxic chemical, acting as an enzyme poison, direct irritant and stops calcium absorption. Fluoride reacts with growing tooth enamel and with bones to cause irreversible damage." Fluoride is a corrosive poison.
According to  L. Alesen, MD, president of the California Medical Association"no physician in his right mind would hand to his patient a bottle filled with a dangerous drug with instructions to take as much or as little of it as he wished ... And yet, the Public Health Service is engaged upon a widespread propaganda program to insist that communities do exactly that ... The purpose of administering fluoride is not to render the water supply pure and potable but to contaminate it with a dangerous, toxic drug for the purpose of administering mass medication and profit from people who suffer from medical damages.
Fluoride science is corporate science- asbestos science clearly based on fraudulent science said Gerald Cox at Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh.

Direct source of Fluoride:

• Fluoride toothpaste
• Fluoride Tap water
• Fluoride Supplement
• Food and products prepared with fluoride is another reason why fluoride should be out of our water system because we can't spend our lives checking every company since most product company use water.
• Pet Food

What Kind Of Water Should You Drink?
Carbon filter may reduce the amount of chlorine, chloroform, chloramines, THMs, Cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia cysts in the water but it will not do the job of removing resistant biological contaminants, fluoride, heavy metals and other contaminants. Unfortunately, the only way around getting rid of fluoride from our drinking water would be to consider a high-end drinking water filters- the red flag is - it will cost about two to five hundred dollars.
It is important to choose a filter that can remove fluoride, minerals, THMs, and nitrates. Many reverse osmosis filter will remove fluoride as well as trace mineral in water; the only way to avoid this will be to get a filter that can remove these toxins and re-mineralize the water to make a better drinking water.
When purchasing water filter, it is wise to look out for the word NSF certified on the label- "Not NSF Tested because that is not the same as NSF certified.
Note: NSF is a non-profit third party testing agency that has been around for 50 years to rate the effectiveness of water filter.

Note: Hard water has more mineral-making it better for calcium absorption and for maintaining the bones and teeth although elemental minerals in spring water is hardly absorbed by the body so it is wise to get a filter that can re-mineralize your water or get minerals from your food. Glacial mineral water contain minerals that can be absorbed by the body;  glacial water in some places has been linked to the longevity of its residents. Note: i don't mean the brand glacial- i mean people who live in the glacial region.
Reverse osmosis or carbon block water filter can remove fluoride along with other minerals.
High-end Carbon mesh filters will remove everything except fluoride. Carbon mesh filters can retain minerals.

Okay, i know everything you have read so far can be maddening but the bottom line is, Fluoride is in most municipal water and until it is removed we would need to find ways to filter your water or just completely avoid tap water containing fluoride. Now i know this is probably not what most people would do because we are conditioned to tap water drinking and you're not to blame; Municipal systems adding fluoride to water and the BIG industry are to blame. We use this water to cook, feed our pets, shower and drink so what i would do, is get a reverse osmosis filter if high-end water filters is not in your budget. And because reverse osmosis filter will remove fluoride and mineral, you must then get lots of mineral from your food, daily vitamin and mineral supplement - This solution will help reduce your exposure to fluoride and other water contaminants. Also you can drink teas and other fluids to reduce your need to drink your regular tap water if it is not filtered.
Also you can check with your city municipal water system to find out about contaminants and if fluoride is added to the water- but i still advice you get an effective water filter to protect yourself.
If you think reverse osmosis water filter cost too much, consider what you will hear in this video

 "The Fluoride Deception" reads like a whodunit. There are conspiracies, cover-ups, human casualties, and broken careers. The prime suspects in this toxic thriller are compounds of fluoride; the conspirators represent industry, the military, and the public health community. At the book's ending, the suspect chemicals are not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but we are left with compelling evidence that powerful interests with high financial stakes have colluded to prematurely close honest discussion and investigation into fluoride toxicity"-prevent disease.

Detoxify your body- detoxify your mind- wholesome self

Detox the mind:

Detoxification of the body is integrated with the detox of the mind; before or after you decide on detoxifying your body, you should consider detoxifying your mind from beliefs that hinder your happiness. You will need to cleanse your mind from thoughts and habits that bug it down such as fears (fear for a sick one), worries( worrying about things you can't change), and other stress.
Mind detox means removing or learning to find positive ways for dealing with troubling thoughts- like fears, hates, worries and compulsive attachments to external factors in your life, learning to let go of the pain of the past and today. Deal with the problems you are faced with by finding solutions instead of worrying and complaining about your problem. Remember to stay positive when your worries and fears pop up; focus on finding solution instead of repetitively telling yourself you have got a problem. Keep in mind when worries and fears pops up, if you don't have a solution and can't solve the problem, worrying yourself sick won't solve the problem. Life will always be stressful, in order to avoid the side effects of stress such as aging faster- you will need to stop worrying and creating more stress. 
Is time you realize that the bad guy or gal is what your mind tells you; it doesn't matter what the world says you are if you say the same thing about yourself.......
To deal with the tyrant of the mind, you will need to follow your mind; begin to jot down the flaws you perceive, jot down your attitude in your daily dealings- this will help you see a better picture of the destructive self pattern created by your mind. The problems we have can be created by other people but the way we deal with the problems is the problem we cause ourselves, for example;if you go to a restaurant and you order a meal. The waiter brings the food to you but when you taste the food, you figure it is over salted. To solve this problem there are four things you could do:
1. You can sit there, stir and stare at your food and complain angrily while eating it-problem not solved, you just made the situation more stressful because you express your feelings of anger/frustration, you supressed your natural feelings but complain under your breathe instead of asking for a change.
2. You can call the waiter and yell angrily at him or her complaining about the salt, then ask for a change of meal- WHAT DID YOU DO? you didn't solve the problem, you just created another problem by annoying the customers and waiters because you were rude, also your food could possibly get tampered with by the waiter whom you have annoyed- you have removed one problem with another problem.
3. You can politely ask for a replacement for your meal- problem solved with compensation.
4.  You can choose not to pay, walk away and make it the restaurant's problem- instead of making it your problem when you didn't create the problem to begin with.
You can realize that your mind points the fingers at others for the problems it perceives. Our problem is not the world, not the devil but how our mind or how you choose to deals with your problem is what becomes your problem.
It's OK to be angry because anger is a pure emotion you feel but do not dwell on your anger; dwelling on problems is the easiest way to a life filled with unhappy rot.

"Compulsive thought and the tyranny of the mind"- compulsive thoughts are just as toxic as the environmental toxins that we are surrounded by. The mind is a good tool, but if left unchecked, and left in charge, it becomes a tyrant. Look around you, the shocking pollution of the environment, the wars, the killings, the ever more sophisticated, efficient and powerful bombs, the fear, the hatred, the fascist global police state, the multinationals, the pharmaceutical cartels, the drugged and poisoned society, the greed; the divisions amongst people, the worried, unfriendly, unhappy faces, rushing to their graves - what is it that you are seeing?

As a Zen master asked:
"Tell me what problem you have, if you don't think about it?
All our problems have the mind at their root. You need to first realize this, then you remove these mind manufactured 'problems' by controlling or silencing the monkey mind. You do this by not identifying with the thoughts, not identifying with the mind, the root cause of all our problems.
It is crucial to realize that thoughts just come and go. They just come and go like waves or ripples on the sea. They have nothing to do with you, unless you 'think' they do, unless you say that's my thought, and start to give it substance, a solidity where none exists and start defending that thought with more thoughts.


Just drop it. Drop the Ego.
The World out there is actually a reflection, a mirror, a holographic projection without any solidity or substance to it. This 'reflection' shows us things about ourselves that we may not wish to see.


This reflection, our world, is telling us to face and cure its sickness. We do this by withdrawing our attention from sick thoughts. The sickness comes from identifying with the mind; you think that you are your thoughts-: that is the cause of all your problems".  source: Eckhart Tolle's

Get out of the mental rat race, you need to change your lifestyle from a fast, mad lashed get it now stress filled life to a relaxed mind and body. Ask yourself what are you chasing and why?- this will help direct your choice in life. Figure it out then find the tools that will help you achieve what you want from life but remember to do it freely. Challenge yourself to detoxify your mind- don't stress out you can do it.

Think of it as detoxifying your mind and your body. Relaxing the mind, mind detox, means not taking your self too seriously, not taking your thoughts seriously. It's about letting go, being free from them or being free from your habitual attachment to thoughts. Live your life for you, free yourself from the things that hold you back mentally- it's OK to let go of the people that cause you unhappiness




This movie, shows you the power of meditation- getting in-touch with your inner self Without a  supernatural being; (Nature within you and Nature Around you) it's all from within you- subconscious & conscious within the universe ! It takes you to learn to accept what you can't change and change what you can; change through the annoyance of it, there's a lesson to be learned or a new journey opening up which you may be unaware of (when a door closes, it's not the end- it means renewal & a new beginning). Let go of the things that do not serve who you desire to be or who you are !
Our Mind, gravity, physics, quantum energy---the universe/nature, holds the chemistry of life you and me thrive on, whether we aware of this or not.
Use the Natural law of attraction, you speak and you align your self with that which you desire(your daily efforts)---then it pulls you towards it....and you accept because you desire it.

what is Gluten--known to cause celiac disease

Gluten is a wheat protein found in food and cosmetics. It is known to cause allergic reactions or toxic autoimmune disease called Celiac disease in some people. "1 in every 133 people has Celiac Disease or suffers from wheat allergy". Celiac disease is more common in women and can run in families. It often coexists with other autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Celiac Disease is a disorder of the small intestine, celiac disease is caused by an immune system reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat and some other grains. The lining of the small intestine has millions of tiny, fingerlike projections called villi, which absorb nutrients from food. In celiac disease, the immune system reacts against gluten in the digestive system (an autoimmune digestive disease that attacks the small intestine when gluten is ingested the immune system destroys the tiny finger-like villi in the small intestine), This reaction damages the villi, causing them to flatten and interfering with their normal function, leaving this organ unable to absorb nutrients from food or supplements. People with Celiac Disease cannot ingest any substance that contains gluten including oats, barley, rye or triticale.

"According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearing house (NDDIC), symptoms vary from person to person causing many adverse reactions.  Some of the toxic reactions in infants are: abdominal bloating and pain, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, weight loss or pale, foul-smelling stool. 

Symptoms in adults includes fatigue, arthritis, bone loss or osteoporosis, depression or anxiety, seizures, missed menstrual periods, weight-loss, stunted growth, swollen Abdomen, diarrhea (typically pale foul-smelling, and bulky), infertility and recurrent miscarriage, bone or joint pain, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, canker sores inside the mouth, or an itchy skin rash called dermatitis herpetiformis".
A person may not know they have celiac disease and show any symptoms for many years, but over a long period of time could develop diseases such as anemia, osteoporosis, intestinal cancer, liver diseases and reproductive concerns.

If you notice the above symptoms consistently each time you ingest wheat, your best cure will be to avoid eating wheat. There is no medicinal cure for Celiac Disease or wheat allergy; the best treatment for wheat allergy or celiac disease is to totally abstain from products containing wheat---follow a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet (avoiding wheat, rye, and barley) to clear up symptoms, and take dietary supplements to correct nutritional deficiencies. You can substitute wheat products with organic corn, brown rice or other non-wheat grains. Be aware that some products contain wheat, but do not say this fact on the product labels. Gluten is hidden in many products as a preservative, an example is caramel color so try to eat as much whole foods instead of manufactured food products that are not whole raw foods which makes it harder to identify hidden ingredients.

Natural and Artifical flavor

Our taste buds help us to choose what kind of food to eat; it helps us avoid poisonous food. Edible plants generally taste sweet, and harmful food taste bad. Today our food now can taste like the very poison we could try to avoid only if we knew what they really are. The taste of a food can be radically altered by minute changes in the flavoring combination. The Taste buds on our tongue can detect the presence of half a dozen taste from sweet, sour, bitter, salty, astringent, including an UMAMI (A taste discovered by Japanese researchers- a rich and full sense of deliciousness triggered by amino acids in foods such as meat, shellfish, mushrooms, potatoes and seaweed). However, our taste buds is limited when it comes to detecting flavor and smell but our nose can perceive many thousands of chemical aroma or food. The aroma of food is greatly associated with its taste, when we chew, drink or suck on substance using our mouth, volatile gases are released, these gases flow out of your mouth and up your nostrils or up the passageway in the back of your mouth, to a thin layer of nerve cells called the olfactory epithelium located at the base of your nose, right between your eyes. Then after this happens, your brain combines the complex smell signals from your olfactory epithelium with the taste signals from your tongue and gives flavor of what's in your mouth; at this point you're either saying yummy this taste good and smells like bananas or yakie this is disgusting it taste like fuel with a chocolate smell; and then it helps you decide if you would like to eat it or not.

 Our mind focuses intently on some of the aromas that surround us and filters out the overwhelming majority. People can grow accustomed to bad smells or good smells; we stop noticing smell or taste that once seemed overwhelming. Aroma and memory are inextricably linked. A smell can suddenly evoke a long-forgotten moment. The flavors of childhood foods seem to leave an unutterable mark, and as we become adults we often return to them, without always knowing why.  Childhood memories of Happy meals, which come with french fries, can translate into frequent adult visits to McDonald's, a fact that fast food chains can use to their advantage.

"The American flavor industry now has annual revenues of about $1.4 billion. IFF annual revenues have grown almost fifteen fold since the early 1970s and approximately 10,000 or more new processed-food products containing natural and artificial flavors are manufactured every year in the united states". If you read the food labels you'll find many preservative, color and "natural flavor"- flavor or scent of foods that has been created in the laboratory by well-renowned flavorist at companies such like IFF, the world's largest flavor company located in Dayton united states. One of the first artificial flavors known as methyl anthranilate was discovered by a legendary German scientist by accidentally mixing chemicals in his laboratory, that resulted to a sweet smell of  grapes; today methyl anthranilate has become the chief flavor compound in grape Kool-Aid.

A typical strawberry flavor found in a burger king strawberry milk shake, contains amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate, anethol, anisyl formate, benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid, cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate, cognac essential oil, diacetyl, dipropyl ketone, ethyl acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate,ethyl heptylate, ethy lactate, ethyl methyl phenylglycidate, ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate, heliotropin, hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol), alpha-ionone,isobutyl  butyrate, lemon essential oil, maltol, 4-methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate, mint essential oil, neroli essential oil, nerolin, neryl isobutyrate, orris butter, phenethyl alcohol,rose, rum ether, y-undecalactone, vanillin and solvent. These many ingredient make up the artificial strawberry flavor in strawberry milk shake served by most fast food companies however only the dominant aroma strawberry is noticed. The chemical added to food, gives food, its particular flavor and taste. Artificial strawberry flavor gives highly processed food a strawberry like taste. Ethyl-2-methyl butyrate will smell just like an apple. Methyl-2-pyridyl ketone will make certain food taste like popcorn. Ethyl-3-hydroxy butanoate taste just like marshmallow. 3-methyl butanoic acid will smell like body odor, hexanal will smell like freshly cut grass. You may not find this in your food however processed food could be made with aroma chemicals without affecting the nutritional value and appearance of food; most flavor compounds often contain more ingredients than the foods to which they give taste. Man-made flavor additives are used mostly in baked goods, candies, and soda and often cost less than its packaging.  Flavor additive are usually labeled next to last on food product list of ingredients. Soft drinks such like coke-cola contains a larger proportion of flavor additives than most products.

Consumer usually prefer to see natural flavors on food product labels instead of artificial flavor because they think is more healthy or natural, this is not essential true of natural flavors. natural flavor are sometimes extracted by chemical we would not like to put in our mouth. natural flavors are based more on how it has been made than what it contains. Natural flavors and artificial flavors sometimes contain exactly the same chemicals, produced through different methods. For example, Amyl acetate provides the dominant note of banana flavor. when it is distilled from bananas with a solvent, amyl acetate is a "natural flavor". when it is produced  by mixing vinegar with amyl alcohol and adding sulfuric acid as a catalyst , amyl acetate is an "artificial flavor". Either way it taste and smells the same. According to FDA "natural flavor" must be derived from natural sources such as herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, beef, chicken, yeast, bark, roots, natural oils etc; however an Almond flavor-benzaldehyde derived from natural sources, such as peach  and apricots pits, contains traces of hydrogen cyanide, a deadly poison. McDonald's chicken McNuggets,Wendy's Grilled chicken sandwich. Burger king's BK Broiler chicken breast pantry contain beef extract and "natural smoke flavor" manufactured by Red Arrow company by charring sawdust and capturing the aroma chemicals released into the air. The smoke is captured in water and then bottled, so that other companies can sell food that seems to have been cooked over a fire. Natural flavor is now listed among the ingredients of almost everything food, you will find "Natural smoke flavor" in barbecue sauces, snack foods, processed meats.

Tip: check the ingredients of what you eat, the food and flavor industry is a billion dollar industry that create flavors and food for profit. Companies that want profit advantage over their competitors employ flavoring and coloring so they're generally not so much interested in how it affects the consumer's health. Frankly we are not forced to eat these things although it is almost unavoidable because it is added to almost 8 out of 10 drinks and food item you find at the store. Even drinks such like green tea natural drinks contain "natural flavor". Natural flavor could mean anything from a combination of chemicals which may react with other ingredient to a single ingredient that probably has been extracted using a toxic chemical; the line between natural and artificial flavor is pretty close. A natural flavor is not necessarily more healthy or purer than an artificial flavor.

Note: flavor is primarily the smell of gases being released by the chemicals you have just put in your mouth. These flavors can compromise our health or immune system, and may cause cancer in the long run.

Fight Allergies, cold and flu

Allergies are an abnormal reaction from your body to particles in the air, such like pollens, dust, mold spores or dust mites to which your immune system reacts. Herbs helps relieve allergy and cold flu. The combination of a healthy eating habit with herbs will help strengthen your immune system. Herbs such as Garlic, ginkgo, horseradish, stinging nettle, licorice, ginger, ginseng, cayenne and eucalyptus are the most commonly known herbs to prevent allergies. Garlic has a high amount of quercetin which is an anti-oxidant that reduces inflammation of the nasal passage and should be implemented into your daily diet to get the total benefit of this herb. Adding this common herb to your food or drink will effectively help you recover in short time and also relieve the very flu or allergy symptoms. It is the best defense for flu and allergies. It can also help people suffering bronchitis, sinusitis and all cold symptoms.
Another herbs is Ginkgo, Ginkgo contains ginkgo Biloba; which produces chemicals in the body that helps to prevent inflammation in the sinus area when particles enter the body. You can consume between 60-240 milligrams of a Ginkgo extract per day, which is important in reducing the pressure on the sinuses that cause runny nose and congestion.

 Horseradish is a spicy herb found in Japanese foods. If you have a few teaspoons of horseradish every month, the spices will clean out your nasal passages.

Stinging nettle helps to prevent fevers associated with allergies as well as cough, chest congestion, runny nose and bronchial constriction.

Organic Licorice Root powder- helps relieve cold, coughs, nervous exhaustion, liver, chronic fatigue and skin conditions. Prevents inflammation and stimulates adrenals but should not be used for an extended period. when you drink or taste licorice, it has sweet taste at the back of your throat but it's an effective herb. You can mix 1/4 tsp with honey, agave nectar or pure organic juice or you can take it by itself however, i make a green tea or Echinacea with licorice, to be taken once a day by mouth.
(am not a doctor, but i have personally experienced the effectiveness of herb when doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with my body- many accounts of this even as a child; i have found herbs to be very effective and better for the immune system. This does not replace visiting your doctor, just a recommendation)

Eucalyptus helps you to breathe easier by opening up the lungs so that your cells get more oxygen.

Ephedra is a spice that works as an anti-inflammatory. Ephedrine is an ingredient in ephedra that works to treat hay fever and asthma, but the body can become immune to this ingredient if it is used over a long period of time.

Mint tea, Green tea

Get in a warm to very warm bathtub for an hour and let the warm yang energies of the water penetrate the skin, and boost your bodies energy while helping excrete toxins from your pores. It helps in strengthening the kidneys and lungs as they are main organs involved in the immune system and are often affected in illnesses of external cold penetration such as cold and flu.

Supplement should be used before cold symptoms appear and after cold is gone.

The fat-soluble vitamin, retinol or vitamin A has an effective antiviral effect when utilized in high doses, but at these doses, however, the vitamin should only be used for about a week. high source of vitamin A

Vitamin C will prevent a cold from setting in, when taken in sufficient quantities, it helps you recover quicker and effectively reduce the symptoms. Source of Vitamin C includes Chestnuts, oranges, orange juice, grapes, lemon, lime, aloe Vera etc

Echinacea is effective for stimulating the immune system.
It is known that lozenges made from zinc can perhaps stop a cold from progressing and help make recovery shorter, the virus itself may be destroyed by this supplement, though the exact way it deals with infection is uncertain.

A combination of the herb goldenseal and Echinacea can be taken to boost immune response, it may not prevent colds or the flu, it cannot act as preventive agent however it works well for therapeutic usage and for treatment of infections.

Herbs are a natural way to heal the body but pregnant women should exercise caution when using herbs to treat allergies, when not sure of the side effects seek advice from a holistic doctor, do your research first before use.
 To prevent spreading bacteria or flu virus
practice regular hand washing, when coughing use your hand to cover your mouth, sanitize hand. If using handkerchief or tissue to cover your mouth when coughing make sure to dispose of it properly. Avoid using other people's lip balm or kissing if you got a cold sore- prevent spreading cold sores 

Finally, don't forget to clean the dust off your house and vacuum floors (Kirby vacuum cleaners are the best); use biodegradable disposal rags or paper towel this helps to reduce allergens in the home environment.

Better water recommendation

Recommendations:- "According to a recent survey for the bottled-water industry and Rockefeller university, one American out of ten typically do not drink water at all." It is important to drink at least 8-cups of water per day (who cares about the number, important thing is to make sure you stay hydrated by drinking everyday) especially if you're have an active lifestyle or spend most of your day outdoors in the hot weather. Short term effect of not drinking enough water is fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headaches, easily irritable.
Over long term, drinking too little water has been linked to constipation, kidney stones, and even some forms of cancer.
Drinking water from tap water is OK if filtered; contamination by toxic chemicals and parasites in tap water is not rare but not any more frequent than the contaminants in "Bottled water" (In fact, some water companies collect tap water and filter or reprocess it and then bottle). Tap water may have some taste and may not be as crisp tasting as bottled water- it doesn't mean that the tap water you are drinking is necessarily unhealthy compared to bottled water. You can buy bottled water which will cost more in the long run and it may have just as bad contaminants in it like regular tap water. But to keep contaminants out of your water, you can use carafe filter, Zen counter filter and faucet filters to purify your tap water- saving the money you would have spent otherwise for bottled water daily. 
The taste of the water you drink is more noticeable when it is at room temperature than when it is ice cold. A good solution is Water purifier.


Top tips:

1. Boil water, filter, store in a clean non-plastic container and refrigerate, this may help eliminate some bacteria or toxin.
2. You can also get filtered water running straight from the tap and add Aloe Vera or lemon to it- it may be a bit sour or bitter so you will only need a little: like a  teaspoonful or one part sliced lemon to one glass of water.
3. Another way is drinking other kinds of fluid that contain lots of water and immune boosting properties(without high fructose corn syrup, color or preservatives) like pure orange juice, Aloe Vera juice.
4. Finally, you can drink regular filtered water but also include a total detox program (that will cleanse liver, kidney, colon and your whole body of heavy metals or toxins) and boost your body's immune system every 3months.

The eSpring® Water is a good choice of Water purifier. It Purifiers, improves the taste, odor, and clarity of up to 1,320 gallons of water, enough for a family of six to cook and drink with, for one year. Independent third-party testing has shown that the carbon-block filter effectively reduces more than 140 potential health damaging impurities like pesticides, VOCs, mercury, and lead, and at the same time allows beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium to pass through. The UV bulb destroys up to 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses, and 99.95% of cysts in drinking water without the use of chemicals.The eSpring Water Purifier is certified by NSF International (NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 55B) and has earned the Gold Seal from the Water Quality Association.

Other Tip: Avoid microwaving your water or food in plastic containers or wraps because near heat plastic will soften  and could contaminate your water or food; Avoid microwave ovens.  Also avoid using plastic or stainless steel spoon when stirring hot cooking soup or food because heat melts plastic but wood will not. When Plastic and stainless cookwares are heated, it may leach harmful toxins into our food and space. Try placing a plastic spoon in very hot water, you will notice it softens almost like it's melting plus the stinky rubber smell. Use a wooden spoon instead.

The bitter truth on Soda-sugar

Dr Lawrence Wilson M.D says Soda pop often contains up to 70 chemical additives such as flavors, colors, preservatives and others that are not required to be on the label.  It is also high in sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, one of the worst sweeteners.  Other harmful sweeteners are dextrose, glucose, maltose, and other damaging sugars. The only sweeteners I recommend are xylitol, mannitol or a little stevia, an herb that is very sweet.  Even these should be minimized, however, as they too can contribute to blood sugar problems, although not nearly as much as the regular sugars, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, and others. Soda is one of the main cause of obesity and diabetics in children and adults. Eliminate bad sugar such like High fructose corn syrup, sucrose, artificial sweeteners found in fast food dipping sauce (bronco), syrup, candies, cookies, drinks, shakes etc, become more active by exercising (avoid living sedentary a life).

Know your kind of water

Spring water- comes from an underground formation and must flow naturally to the earth surface e.g a well. Spring water is typically protected from micro-organisms sometimes found in surface water. Spring water is collected through a hole that tap the water in the earth and companies that supply such water must state it on their label.

Sparkling water- Is water that contains carbon dioxide.

Purified water- has been processed by reverse osmosis, distillation, or similar procedures that remove minerals and contaminants. The source need not be named and is often tap water.

Naturally sparkling water- is naturally carbonated and often comes from a spring. Bubbles lost during treatment or collection may be replaced with the same amount of carbon dioxide the water held originally.

Soda water and seltzer are not considered bottled water. The FDA regulates them as soft drinks, under rules less strict than those for bottled water, and some products may have added sugar, flavors or salts. They're often carbonated municipal water, sometimes with extra filtration.


Mineral Water- contains at least 250 parts per million of dissolved solids- usually calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, silica, and bicarbonates. minerals must occur naturally. Mineral water is typically spring water and can be sparkling or still. Mineral Water- each has it's own taste, originating from whichever rocks and earth it passes by. which one you would choose depends on whether you like it more or less fizzy.

Water labels can be very confusing, more like deceiving; an example is Aquafina Purified Drinking Water, it it one of America's top- selling bottled water brand with the favoring pictures of the deep blues and snow-capped mountains- telegraph idea of faraway glacial springs. Not the case with Aquafina, Aquafina is produced by the Pepsi Cola Company. According to Pepsi spokesman Larry Jabbosky, Aquafina water originates from 16 sources- mainly municipal water supplies Cheraw, S.C.; Detroit; Fresno, Calif.; and Munster, Ind. Aquafina is not water from the exotic region as it the graphic label shows.

Dasani Bottled water by Coca-cola; Pepsi competitor get its water from municipal sources, enhanced with a mix of minerals for a crisp taste.

Something else the labels on bottled water may not reveal is that a single brand of spring water can come from man sources,  an example; is Danon Natural Spring Water tapping from four springs, in Florida, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Quebec. Keep in mind different sources can produce different tasting water.


Still waters- only volcanic Natural Spring Water was excellent. A french import, which  comes from an area rich in volcanic rock. Many other water cost less and it's just as good.
All carbonated water are bottled in PET, and there's a subtle difference in the taste of seven different brands that were tested however, Vintage Old Original Seltzer Water and Canada Dry Original Seltzer were found to be very good. Both been less bitter than the others tested.

Troubled water

There's an increased thirst for bottled water due the tap water incidence that shakes the confidence in tap water. In 1993 cryptosporidium outbreak (cryptosporidium- a parasite from animal waste) entered Milwaukee's water supply and killed more than 50 people, sent 4,400 people to the hospital and sickened many hundreds of people." The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has standards for some 80 contaminants in public drinking water and maintains that the U.S. enjoys some of the safest water in the world. Since 1999, Federal law has required local water utilities to send "consumer confidence reports" to their customers each year. The reports detail ongoing laboratory testing, name system trouble spots, and outline measures being taken to fix problems.

If you haven't received one, contact your local water department, call the Safe Drinking water Hot-line at (800) 426-4791, or visit .
The bottled-water industry falls under the jurisdiction of the FDA, which has borrowed from the EPA's standards for tap water. Other bodies use their own model code to inspects water includes The international Bottled Water Association, The industry's trade group and their standard is said to be stricter than the FDA's. 85% of companies that produce bottled water gets inspections at the processing plants annually by an independent nonprofit group.

some water contaminant:-
Arsenic is a poisonous element in the earth's crust, arsenic can enter water naturally or through factory runoff, animal - feed additives, herbicides, and refineries. Water systems that depend on underground sources are especially at risk for arsenic. The current standard allows 50 parts per billion (ppb) in tap water and bottled water dating as far back as 1940s. The EPA has proposed lowering arsenic limit to 5ppb but the final limit has not been decided. Whatever the outcome of the proposed limit becomes is what FDA will probably use to set a similar standard for bottled water. This meaning that there's still some amount of arsenic found in our water by the current standard, this is something troubling because Arsenic can affect our health. Long-term exposure to even low concentrations may cause lung, skin, and bladder cancer as well as diseases of the blood vessels, liver and other organs.

Trihalomethanes (THMS) are produced when chlorinated chemicals used for disinfection combines with organic matter in water supplies, some cities use chlorine a lot more in their water during warm whether therefore causing a fluctuating level from day to day or season to season. It is now 100ppb for tap water and bottled water. Chlorination is used to kill harmful germs in our water but it can also cause harm to our health.
THMS health effect:- If consumed over a long period of time, it could increase the risk of bladder and rectal cancers and miscarriage. Be careful drinking or jumping into highly chlorinated swimming pools.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring element that is often added to municipal water to prevent tooth decay, but i wonder why it goes on our toothpaste contains fluoride and fluoride can cause damage to our body and wear down our tooth enamels. The FDA allows 0.8 to 2.4 parts per million (ppm) in our water. The American Dental Association says the optimal level is 0.7 to 1.2ppm.
Health effect: Can discolor or mottle tooth enamel and cause damage to the tissues/organs in our body.

Plastic components:
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is the building block of polycarbonate and can leach into water or food. There no set limits for BPA . In a testing of eight to ten 5-gallon polycarbonate jugs, it was found that about 0.5ppb to 11ppb of Bisphenol-A leached into water. Bisphenol-A affects our health negatively, it a known carcinogen (cancer-causing chemical). Also BPA mimics the hormone estrogen in animal studies and judging from animal research it would most likely affect a developing fetuses.

Heterotrophic Plate (HPC) tallies a mix of bacteria in the water. HPC is counted as "colony-forming units per millimeter," or cfu/ml, however there are no official standard set. only a guideline of 500 cfu/ml or less
In a test, two brands of eight we checked had at least one bottle over the guideline. Those were waters that the National Resources Defense Council had found no problems with in its study. Two waters in which NRDC had found high HPC were free of it in the test; suggesting inconsistencies and this problem is sporadic.
Health effects: The germs counted are not necessarily harmful, but large numbers of them may point to poor sanitation practices.

Water- Bottled water

On daily basis in our work places, in the gym, classroom, almost everywhere you find people carrying bottled water with them at all times, it's now a thing of "status quo healthier meter" among women. Every minute of the day, Americans spend more than $10,000 on water, something they don't need to do. In 1976, Americans drank 1.5 gallons of bottled water per person; In 1999, they drank 15.5 gallons and today the number has greatly increased.
Some of us would like to believe that all bottled waters taste the same, and does not have contaminant like those found in tap water- this is a horrific lie, bottled waters are not free of contaminant that may be found in tap water. "In fact, a four-year study of 103 bottled waters released last year by the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental group showed concerns. Among them: several waters had levels of chlorine by-products or arsenic that were above the threshold set by California, through within limits set by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this report, multiple samples of 39 bottled waters was taken to the laboratory to analyze the waters for harmful substances that can occur naturally or stem from treatment procedures or bottling"
Finding- "The major differences in taste were due to the type of plastic in the water's bottle. In most cases, water in clear PET plastic (usually bottles of 1.5 liters or smaller) tasted better than those in cloudy, softer HDPE plastic (usually 1-gallon bottles).
None of the waters that was tested harbored contaminants above current standards. That said, some occasionally had a bit more than would like to seen of one or more substances that shouldn't be prevalent in drinking water.

Plastic Bottled waters

Good drinking water should taste like nothing. However, nothing can still taste a little like something, and water usually taste clean, fresh, lively, and a bit crisp. Bottled water in PET plastic generally taste better than bottled water in HDPE plastic, and this is true within the same brand.  For example, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, has a sweet, fruity plastic flavor when bottled in PET plastic( imagine the scent when blowing up a beach ball). Water in PET bottles cost more. When bottled in HDPE plastic, it tastes a bit like melted plastic (imagine the smell when you get a plastic container too close to the flame). Winn-Dixie's Prestige premium 100% spring water is the only bottled water in PVC plastic that generally has a good rating.
Different plastic water bottles impacts the taste of water because some plastics more easily can allow nearby odors into the water thereby affecting the taste. Also small amounts of plastic chemicals in plastic bottles could leach into the water especially it sitting in bottles for a long period of time. Even the process used in creating the plastic material used for making the bottles can affect the taste of bottled water.

Advantages and disadvantages of water bottled materials used:-
PET(also known as PETE)- short for polyethylene terephthalate, PET is a clear, strong plastic that leaves nothing more than a faint sweet or fruity plastic flavor. Labels for some brand packed in PET play up the "clear" taste of the water inside.

HDPE is  high-density polyethylene, the opaque, flexible material of milk containers. It's less expensive than PET but often imparts a slight melted-plastic taste to water. Taste may also be affected by excessive heat or flavors from foods stored nearby.

Glass:- Chemically glass is inert and has no effect on the taste of water in it, whatsoever. But it's heavy and breakable and is seldom used now days only for pricey mineral waters and water bottled for bars, restaurants, and hotels.

Polycarbonate is strong and rigid, it's used for compact discs as well as 5-gallon water cooler jugs. The three water cooler waters we sampled- Great Bear, Deer Park, and Poland spring did not have funny flavors. The water in polycarbonate bottles tasted better than same products in PET  or HDPE bottles. The Down side of polycarbonate bottles is that it sometimes leaches residue of worrisome chemical contaminant called bisphenol-A (Bisphenol-A (BPA) which is the building block of polycarbonate and can leach from there into water or food. BPA is a carcinogen and it mimics the hormone estrogen as seen in animal studies; in this study 8 out of 10 five-gallon polycarbonate jugs that were checked leached bisphenol-A into water-from 0.5 ppb to 11ppb. Judging from research, BPA can negatively affect pregnant women and their developing fetuses.
Some water bottle companies play up bottled water to be better than tap water - this is not an absolute truth.

Reduce signs of Aging

• Drink lots of  fluid e.g Water

Food gradeDE dust

DE dust also known as fossil shell flour has many uses. DE dust is a natural product that isn't exactly earth. It is actually the fossilized remains of microscopic organisms called Diatoms.

So these organisms create a shell around them that later gets fossilized and these fossils are ground formed in to DE dust, which is 84% silicon dioxide or Silica. It has already been proven by science that silica is that one trace mineral that is essential for human life. This is why this wonderful natural substance can prove to be highly beneficial when ingested by human beings.

HUMAN USE:

Many people including us at nontoxic lifestyle are taking food grade DE dust everyday. You might ask-“How come something that kills bugs can be good for people?”  Keep in mind DE Kills bugs by scratching them- no chemicals are involved. For Human, DE dust is a great source of silica. Silica is a major mineral we all need, that is lacking in our foodstuffs today. Most are taking 1 tablespoon of DE dust per day in juice, water, pop, applesauce, protein mix, yogurt or liquid of their choice.

The benefits of De dust/fossil shell flour

Silica is very important for healthy bones and a tough bone structure, it also helps relieve sore joints. Many do not know that calcium supplements alone cannot do anything when it comes to joint pain in old age. You need silica to kick-start the body's self-healing mechanism. Even osteoporosis patients have received good results.

1. It Lowers cholesterol (50-75 points lower) and Lowering high blood pressure. 
2. It Keeps blood sugar levels stable.
3. Gives you more Energy. 
4. It is even said to prevent and lessen the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease by deterring aluminum absorption in to the body. 
5. Silica is also a very potent cosmetic solution. Skin needs silica to keep the process of cell regeneration from stopping over time. Our skin starts to deteriorate because as we age, our skin cells stop regenerating fast enough to keep our skin smooth and firm. This is why we develop wrinkles and loose skin. With silica however, this process is enhanced and your skin starts looking younger. There by Healthier skin, softer, less itching, faster healing, psoriasis gone. 
6. Stronger and healthier nails and less breaking hair, also increases the health of your nail plates by making them stronger and less fragile.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

MSG is a toxic food ingredient, a compound known as an excitotoxin which are proteins that cause brain cells to fire impulse rapidly when in contact. Cells become hyper excited and continually fires until cell is exhausted and dies. MSG is not just sensed by taste buds in our tongues. It triggers and excites neurons in the brain, free glutamatic acid is able to reach the brain where it can injure and kill the neurons.

The food industry continues to add these ingredient in the processing of our food, despite the fact that we get negative reactions from glutamic acid.

MSG is found in so many things we like that taste so good but are unhealthy. MSG gives food an additive taste, so you want more and more. MSG is found in soup like packet noodle soup, salad dressing, Chip, frozen entries, restaurant/fast food such as Chinese/Asian, McDonald, food flavorings, Infant formula, Dietary supplement, Pesticides and fungicides used on fruits and vegetables, drugs and vaccines, cosmetics and the list continues.

The following ingredients always contain MSG

• glutamate
• monosodium glutamate
• monopotassium glutamate
• yeast extract
• hydrolyzed protein
• glutamic acid 
• calcium caseinate
• sodium caseinate
• yeast food
• hydrolyzed corn
• gluten
• gelatin
• textured protein
• yeast nutrient
• autolyzed yeast
• natrium glutamate
• hydrolyzed oat flour.

Frequent indication of MSG additives

• Malt extract
• Bouillon
• Stock
• Flavoring
• Natural Flavoring
• Natural pork, Beef or Chicken Flavoring
• Seasoning
• Broth
• Spices

The following ingredients may contain MSG or are created during processing

• Carrageenan
• natural flavorings
• malt flavoring
• whey protein concentrate
• whey protein
• whey protein isolate
• malt extract
• soy protein isolate
• some soy sauce
• soy sauce extract
• maltodextrin
• citric acid
• ultra pasteurized
• barley malt
• pectin
• protease
• some protein enzymes
• anything enzyme modified.

MSG contributes to health crises, like obesity epidemic, migraine headaches, asthma, Diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, sleep disorders, Irritable bowel syndrome, Lou gehrig's disease, Attention deficient disorder (ADD), seizures and strokes, depression, heart irregularities, skin rashes, 25% of U.S population suffer allergic reactions from MSG.   

There evidence that MSG causes retinal degeneration, kills brain cells -- leading to behavior disorders, learning disabilities, reproductive disorders,  obesity, and more. Look at the data.

How to avoid MSG: Buy raw organic food, preservative free food, washing your fruit and vegetables thoroughly before consuming, become knowledgeable about these ingredient so that you can identify it and avoid it. The diagram above is an illustration picture of what contains MSG.
