Genetically Modified Food Crops vs Organic Foods

Posted by on · Leave a Comment

Is Industrial Food Dangerous? If there was a story told in which a person had developed rashes along with intensely itchy sores with strange fibers protruding from underneath their skin, what would be the suspected disease or sickness? Is it something new and rare? Is it something curable?

Morgellon’s Disease is the name of this sickness, and while there are only 1,200 people registered to be suffering from this disease, many more people out there are suffering from this same thing and have no idea what it is (Laibow, 2008). This disease is the result of industrialized food that has been genetically modified, or altered, that these people have consumed.

Industrialized foods are a problem because of genetic engineering and pesticides, and can be solved by choosing to consume organic food because of its nutritional value, and the methods that are used to grow it.

Dog Heat Stroke – Preventing Heat Stroke or Hyperthermia in Dogs

Posted by on · Leave a Comment

Understanding and recognizing dog heat stroke, in order to prevent dogs from getting overheated in the heat of the summer months and developing hyperthermia, is just as important as dog owners protecting themselves and their children from overexposure to the sun and heat.

When dogs are exposed to high temperatures, heat stroke or heat exhaustion can be the result, requiring immediate medical attention. Serious health results can occur in dogs from heat stroke, including death, unless detected early enough for the dog to receive needed care and attention. Hyperthermia in dogs is deadly serious.

Fluoride is a Poison – How Does Fluoride Affect Health

Posted by on · 2 Comments

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, fluoride IS a toxic poison. Fluoride added to water supplies is NOT pharmaceutical grade fluoride. Not even close. The negative health affects of consuming fluoride via water fluoridation, fluoride toothpastes, mouthwashes, rinses, fluoride supplements, vitamins etc etc, are well known and proven to be a fact.

Just a few days ago I happened to notice the cover story of a dental magazine by the ADA called “ADA News”, mentioning how a town in Florida had recently voted 3-2 to keep their municipal water supply fluoridated. See it here. What do the two people who voted against continuing adding fluoride to the town’s water supply know about fluoride that the other three do not know or choose to ignore? What about all the people that live in that town? Do the citizens not have a right to choose if they want toxic chemicals forcibly added to their water supply against their consent, and perhaps even without their informed knowledge?

The Fluoride Controversy: The Facts & The Fiction – by Paul G. Rubin, DDS, MIAOMT

Posted by on · 2 Comments

There is a great deal of controversy about the effectiveness and the safety of fluoride, especially in the form of water fluoridation. The intent of this paper is to provide you with information you will need to make an informed decision about fluoride.

This information is based on valid scientific sources, and its basic premise of is that water fluoridation is ineffective at improving dental health, and does have the potential of adverse health effects (in other words, harm).

History of fluoridation

Water fluoridation began in the late 1940’s and 50’s after some preliminary studies were done that purportedly showed that a certain “optimal” level of fluoride (stated to be one part per million – 1ppm) in the drinking water led to decreased cavities in children. The testing protocols were quite flawed, and science gave way to politics.
