ill fitting bras and breast cancer

According to the bra industry, 80% of women wear the wrong size bra and if those bras are too tight, it can restrict of lymph flow in the breast which can lead to breast cancer.

So let's back up a moment and explain the lymph system. The lymph system is essentially your body's filtration system that removes waste and toxins from your tissue. Lymph and nodes practically mirror your circulatory system, but it does not have its own pump. Instead lymph is moved through the body through physical movement, exercise, or manually through a lymph drainage massage.

If your lymph is restricted either through, say, too tight clothing, or you're a couch potato, then the lymph becomes stagnant and toxins will build up.

So if you're wearing a bra, day after day, or 24/7, that is cutting off the lymph flow to your breasts, then you're at risk for cancer.

Apple Cider Vinegar most Popular Diabetes Remedy

Apple cider vinegar has long been touted as a folk remedy to cure just about anything but many doctors claimed there was no supporting evidence. Here is a study from the Department of Nutrition, Arizona State University, Mesa, Arizona that says otherwise: Vinegar Improves Insulin Sensitivity to a High-Carbohydrate Meal in Subjects With Insulin Resistance or Type 2 Diabetes

Raw Food Diet Cures Diabetes?

According to the American Diabetes Association, there is a person diagnosed with diabetes every 20 seconds. Eight percent or 23.6 million children and adults have diabetes. These staggering numbers cost the nation approximately $174 billion annually, and that figure keeps growing. Left untreated or if poorly managed, diabetes can lead to heart problems, blindness, loss of limbs, death. Clearly, diabetes is a very serious disease that must be addressed. But if you have the disease are you doomed to take medications for the rest of you life, or is there a natural way to control, or actually reverse and cure diabetes? The answer is quite possibly!

Click the image below to see the trailer for "Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. A group of six "incurable" diabetics were cured at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. Raw for 30 Days is a documentary chronicling these six peoples dramatic transformation. Amazing stuff!

Drugs in our Water and Terramin

The recent AP article that reported that trace pharmaceuticals, prescription and over-the-counter, are found in our drinking water has us all worried. But truly, our city tap water has never been a fount pristine of H2O. If you take a peek at the EPA website (don’t do it if you have a weak stomach,) you’ll surely avoid drinking water ever again. (Bear in mind that the list of possible contaminants in the water is measured in parts per billion, and not all regions have the same content. One has to contact their local water district manager to find out the particulars for one’s own area.)

This is a list of all the contaminate headings on the EPA’s safe water facts web page:
• Microbes
• Radionuclides
• Inorganic Contaminates including but not limited to mercury, cyanide, and chromium
• Synthetic Organic Contaminants, including pesticides & herbicides
• Volatile Organic Contaminants
• Disinfectants
• Disinfection Byproducts
• and a little extra something, a fuel additive called MTBE.

I suppose the EPA will now have to update their website to include the heading: Trace Pharmaceuticals.

Mmmmm, thirsty?

This same AP article also stated that consuming only bottled water, or water from home filtration systems doesn’t necessarily protect you from ingesting these contaminants.

We can’t avoid drinking water, even if you stuck with all fruit and vegetable juices. (One too has to wonder if plant life metabolizes contaminants in water, or would they show up in the fruits and vegetables were they tested?) So what can we do?

This may not be the miracle answer, but I recently learned about Terramin (Calcium Montmorillonite) which is an edible clay. It is termed “living clay” for it has some very interesting properties that aid the body in eliminating some or all of the nasty pollutants. The more I read about this product, the more intrigued and impressed I became.

Here are some of the healing properties of this clay for humans and animals:

• It detoxifies the body. The clay which is negatively charged binds with positively charged pollutants in the body such as bacteria, heavy metals or inorganic contaminants as the EPA calls them.
• It has a ph of 8.3 which serves to alkalize the body which makes the body a hostile environment for cancer
• It is anti-parasitic
• Contains highly absorbable calcium - NASA astronauts take Terramin to prevent osteoporosis while in space.
• An immune booster
• Boosts the body’s enzyme production

Terramin has also been featured on the Discovery Channel, is used by the Gerson Institute, and has been studied by Dr. Neva Jensen who wrote "The Healing Power of Living Clay".

Given that I found no contraindications for Terramin in the numerous articles I’ve read, I’ve ordered a 2lb jar for myself and Nutramin for Dogs for my pet. If I can cleanse my body from the toxins that are tainting my water and environment with something as elemental as clay, then I’m going to give it a try. I’ll post my non-scientific findings here.
