Baking Soda for Resisting Radioactivity
Mar. 21st, 2011 07:45 amSodium bicarbonate in the form of baking soda: cheap medicine for maintaining a favorable acid-base balance in human metabolism. So many things can throw this balance off, that it's silly not to have some baking soda on hand--for any home or field hospital. The article recommends that we stock up with some 25-30 pounds of the stuff. There are some other good ideas in here too.

Apr. 2nd, 2010 11:45 amGreat website here on nutrition of beets, right down to the cytokines and blood markers affected by some of the nutrients: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=49
I never used to eat beets. I bought my first beets to prep for my spring cleanse this year. I was eating smoothies of beet, celery and carrot. I think I'm going to learn a few more beet recipes. Got any?
( Notes here. Beets lower IL-6, TNFalpha, CRP, homocysteine, 'bad' cholesterol & triglycerides, and increase 'good' cholesterol and glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase in the liver. This is all great news. )

Aluminum Toxicity and use in Vaccines
Mar. 20th, 2010 10:15 amALUMINUM
is a light metal
is in some vaccines (Hep A&B, DTaP, Hib, Pneumocc, HPV/Gardasil, et al)
is not in all (read package inserts)
is a known toxin with no beneficial biological function
impairs glutathione synthesis
impairs your body’s ability to excrete mercury
is used as adjuvant in vaccines without good research proving that it does what they say it does
FDA limit of 850mcg/vaccine is based on commercial usage and not on safety
no limit on how many vaccines are given at the same time
no different between infant and adult max dose
doses given to children in US have more than doubled since the 1980's
( notes from Mercola interview of Dr Ayoub about aluminum toxicity, vaccines, autism )

This so-called religion has been popping up in my cursory media scans more and more. I started to take more of an interest after reading one article (who knows where it is now) that said that this "Church" is more of a business than a religion, and that it is selling pharmaceuticals for the purpose of purification. Alternative medicine? Detoxes? My ears perked up. There is no mention of Scientology's medical stance on Wikipedia's current article on Scientology.

Esophageal Cancer Risk Factors
ALDH2 Deficiency and Selenium

( Full text of article received by email from denvernaturopathic.com )New data shows that vitamin D has more biochemical actions that anticipated:
--inhibits the synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase
--increases intracellular glutathione levels-->helps remove mercury & other toxins from your body
--could be used to Tx neurodegenerative and neuroimmune diseases
--induces glioma cell death-->good for management of brain tumors?
According to Dr. Cannel, founder of the Vitamin D Council, in an interview:
--vitamin D is not a vitamin, but rather the only known substrate for a powerful repair and maintenance steroid hormone that is involved in numerous functions of your body and organs
--like all steroid hormones vit D regulates your body by turning your genes on or off
--you have about 2,000 genes that are directly influenced by vitamin D
