An Apple a Day ... Keeps you in Top Health!

An old saying says that, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' -- but does it?

What is so special about the humble apple?
Can an apple a day keep the doctor away?

Ideally we should eat organically grown fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately today's lifestyle doesn't allow us to always eat organically and in any case, will eating organically be enough?

The soil having no ability to regenerate the essential minerals, needs to have a wide range of trace minerals continually added. Due to modern farming techniques, and the introduction of super phosphates which consist of three minerals Phosphorous, Nitrogen and Potassium, it does nothing to address the depletion of the other 57 minerals required for human health. While beautifully promoting plant growth, it is not of much value to us.

Dr W Mertz, US Department of agriculture, stated that:
"In the future we will not be able to rely on our premise that the consumption of a varied, balanced diet will provide all the trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people."
"Cultures who have always had high levels of organic minerals in their diet have little or no disease.
Heart disease, Cancer.


What can we do to Live a Long, Happy and Healthy Life?
Before rushing out to buy some mineral tablets, realize that there are several forms of minerals. To get the 60 minerals we need daily, a supplement needs to be in a plant based, colloidal form which is 98% biologically available. Many minerals come from a 'metallic base', that is, they come from rock, not plant, and obviously are not easily absorbed into the body.

It is quite obvious from our research, that the foundation of any nutritional program should begin with the supplementation of organic colloidal minerals.

In our diet there are missing nutritional links which keep us from experiencing optimum health. With an adequate supply of colloidal minerals, we can help prevent premature aging and disease andmaintain the energy and vitality we need to enjoy a great life!

Alcohol

Mouthwash Danger - Mouthwashes with an alcohol content of 25% of higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue and throat cancer.
- Winn DM et al. Mouthwash in the etiology of oral cancer in Puerto Rico. Cancer Causes Control 2001 Jun;12(5):419-29.
Alcohol acts as a solvent in the mouth making tissues more vulnerable to carcinogens.
- Blot WJ et al. Oral Cancer and Mouthwash. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. 70. 1983.
Men had a 60% higher risk and women a 90% higher risk of these cancers compared to those not using the mouthwash.

Talc

Talc is a very fine substance, so fine it can be used as a "dry" lubricant. Talc is a chemical similar to asbestos, a known cancer causing substance. Talc is found in many "baby and body" powders, feminine powders and many cosmetics. It's also used as a lubricant on condoms!

While it makes your skin "feel" slippery smooth, talc does so much more.
 How does talc keep babies and your private parts so "fresh"? 


Presumably by clogging the pores that secrete those necessary fluids. Also, those fine little particles manage to get into the system. And being similar to asbestos is not comforting, especially when used on babies and genital areas. Talc's harmful effect on human tissues has been known for quite some time. Long ago, its dry lubricating properties were used as a glove-donning powder (easy to slide on) for surgical gloves. 


As early as the 1930's, talc was linked to post-operative granulomatous peritonitis and fibrous adhesions.

Talc...(on condoms)...may result in fallopian tube fibrosis with resultant infertility. Question raised by Doctors Kasper and Chandler in Journal of the American Medical Association. (JAMA) 3/15/95
-from Nutrition Health Review, Summer 1995 n73p8(1)
"A possible tie between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, long suspected because of talc's chemical similarity to asbestos, was strongly supported last week when a study found a higher risk of the cancer among women who used feminine deodorant sprays. The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that women who used talcum powder in the genital area had an increased ovarian cancer risk of 60% and women who used feminine deodorant sprays had a 90% increased risk."


In 1994, the FDA conducted a scientific workshop on the issue and did not find enough of a casual link to justify even a consumer warning.
