Enjoy Refreshing Pineapple this Summer and Promote Your Health at the Same Time

Most health-conscious people know that pineapple and other fruits are a major source of Vitamin C. And most of us have heard about the central role of this water-soluble antioxidant vitamin in mopping up the free radicals that damage normal cells -- implicated in the aging process. But did you know that the key enzyme in pineapple (bromelain) has been studied for decades and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects? And to aid in digestion? And even to be effective in cancer treatment and prevention?

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme. It acts to accelerate the breakdown of the proteins that we eat and thereby enhances the absorption of nutrients. Bromelain is active in both the acid environment of the stomach and in the alkaline environment of the small intestines. Bromelain enzymes are fibronolytic (breaks down clots) and antithrombotic (reduces obstructions in blood vessels). Scientific studies have documented the therapeutic efficacy of Bromelain in a wide range of health conditions and body functions.

• Bromelain balances digestive processes through enzymatic action.
• Bromelain is used for treating sinusitis.
• Bromelain increases blood and urine levels of antibiotics in humans.
• Bromelain has anti-inflammatory effects, reduces swelling, aids in recovery from injuries and surgery.
• Bromelain protects the Immune system, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
• Bromelain has been used to treat tumors and even Cancer.

How to add Bromelain to your daily nutrition regime

• You can add Bromelain to your daily nutrition regime by eating fresh pineapple, a delicious summer treat. But please note that canned pineapple has lost most of its nutritional value from the heat used in the canning process.

A Simple Way to Protect Your Heart and Brain from Disease

Flaxseed, walnuts, beans, fish, 
and winter squash are all excellent 
food sources of omega-3

Omega-3 fatty acids (such as DHA) found in fish and natural foods can lower levels of dangerous homocysteine, an amino acid linked with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia, according to research recently published in the journal Nutrition. Scientists found that introducing Omega-3 fats from dietary or supplemental sources was associated with significantly lowered levels of plasma homocysteine. Based on evidence provided by this study and volumes of research over the past decade, most health conscious people should include Omega-3 fats in their diet or supplemental regime to lower chronic disease risk factors.

Omega-3 fats lower homocysteine levels by deactivating an enzyme that is necessary in its formation. Omega-3 fats also improve vascular function and are shown to lower the risk of blood clots while reducing blood pressure and heart rate in people at high risk for cardiovascular disease.

Researchers publishing in The Journal of Neuroscience found that DHA boosts levels of a protein that helps to naturally dissolve plaque tangles in the brain before they can disrupt normal function. Scientists believe that DHA is a nature-supplied nutrient that can help lower the risk of developing dementia, especially when consumed or supplemented from an early age.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been an integral part of the human diet for countless generations, and they are incorporated into cell wall structures throughout the body. Nutritional experts found that 2 to 6 grams of Omega-3 fats consumed daily provide critical support for optimal health and chronic disease reduction.

Heart Disease is the number one cause of death. Are you taking heart healthy steps?

Heart Disease is the number one cause of
death among men and women.

Many women may not be aware that heart disease and stroke are major threats to their health. Heart disease is the number one cause of death among men and women in the United States, and stroke is number three.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type and is the leading cause of heart attacks. When you have CAD, your arteries become hard and narrow. Blood has a hard time getting to the heart, so the heart does not get all the blood it needs. CAD can lead to:

Angina (an-JEYE-nuh)

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when the heart does not get enough blood. It may feel like a pressing or squeezing pain, often in the chest, but sometimes the pain is in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It can also feel like indigestion (upset stomach). Angina is not a heart attack, but having angina means you are more likely to have a heart attack.

Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when an artery is severely or completely blocked, and the heart does not get the blood it needs for more than 20 minutes.

Other forms of heart disease include:

Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood through the body as well as it should. This means that other organs, which normally get blood from the heart, do not get enough blood. It does not mean that the heart stops. Signs of heart failure include:

• Shortness of breath (feeling like you can't get enough air)
• Swelling in feet, ankles, and legs
• Extreme fatigue 

Heart Arrhythmias (uh-RITH-mee-uhz)

Arrhythmias are changes in the beat of the heart. Most people have felt dizzy, faint, out of breath or had chest pains at one time. These changes in heartbeat are harmless for most people. As you get older, you are more likely to have arrhythmias. DO NOT panic if you have a few flutters or if your heart races once in a while.

Stroke happens when the brain does not get enough blood. Without enough blood, brain cells start to die.

The GOOD NEWS is that you can take steps to lower your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. These steps include getting regular physical activity, taking nutritional supplements and making healthy food choices, knowing your numbers and taking good care of yourself overall. It is also important to make sure you talk to your doctor about heart health and the use of menopausal hormone therapy or aspirin.

Heart Healthy Steps

Most women are not aware that they are at risk
and symptoms may not be apparent.

Women should maintain a BMI below 25, not smoke, eat less salt, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week or 75 minutes of sustained activity.

Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. These simple screening tests will give you important information about your heart health. Your doctor can tell you what your numbers mean and what you need to do to protect your heart

Warning Signs

Typically men experience the well-known heart attack signs of chest pain, arm pain, and shortness of breath.

Women's symptoms of nausea, fatigue, and dizziness are quite different. They are often diagnosed as stress.

The top 5 symptoms reported are:

• unusual fatigue
• trouble sleeping
• shortness of breath
• indigestion and
• anxiety

It is important to learn the specific warning signs of heart attack and stroke. In women, the warning signs are often overlooked since women tend to seek medical care later than men do. Prompt treatment can help women recover from a heart attack or stroke with few or no disabilities.

No matter your age, you can commit to heart-healthy living. It is never too late to take steps to lower your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Is your Sunscreen Toxic?

A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that 97% of Americans are contaminated with a common sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone. This toxic chemical has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in babies whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. 

Oxybenzone (also known as benzophenone-3) is a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. Although oxybenzone is most common in sunscreen, manufacturers also use the chemical in many other personal care products.

The FDA does not require UVA filters in sunscreens, and most manufacturers have never included them in their formulations. However, because of consumer demand and awareness, the number of sunscreens that block harmful UVA radiation more than doubled between summer 2008 and 2009, according to Environmental Working Group's (EWG) analysis.

More Americans than ever are using sunscreen to protect from sunburn and guard against skin cancer. Top choices include products with high SPF ratings, and that are waterproof or that advertise "broad spectrum" protection. Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families', but this is just not the case.

SUNDURANCE™ Sunscreen is a new and revolutionary way to apply sunscreen to the skin through advanced Micro-Encapsulation Technology (MLT™). Scientists have succeeded in wrapping molecules of protective sunscreen chemicals in a microscopic silicate molecule. The molecule is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, cannot be felt on the skin, and does not create sheen on the skin. When applied to the skin, these micro-molecules form a complete shield of protection on top of the skin while still allowing the skin to breathe.

The result is a sunscreen formula where the chemicals do not touch the skin, are not carcinogenic, and do not cause irritations. Most sunscreens without MLT use chemicals that are applied and absorbed directly into your skin. Virtually all of these chemicals have been demonstrated to have some level of toxicity to the skin. Due to this toxicity concern, it is not recommended that these types of skincare products be used on infants or on sensitive skin. These types of products may also demonstrate a strong chemical odor, and can even cause increased free radicals and oxidation damage to your skin.

Benefits of Sundurance™ MLT Sunscreen

• Maximum protection with minimal skin interaction.
• Non-irritating to the skin and eyes.
• Enhances skin coverage and increases SPF with less ingredients.
• Protects the skin from oxidation and free radical damage.
• Full UVA/UVB spectrum coverage.
• Top quality pharmaceutical grade active ingredients and 100% natural cream base.
• Optimum SPF formulation for highest coverage and safest use.
• Safe for use on infants and children.

Calcium is Critical for Maintaining Good Health

If you are 30 or older, you are losing it every day

Calcium is vital for bone health.  Both women and men will begin to lose 0.5-1% of their bone density or degree of bone mineralization per year starting around the age of 30. In women, the rate of loss will spike to 2-3% per year for the first 3 to 15 years following menopause.

Calcium is critical in all diets. Of all the minerals required by our bodies, calcium is the most prevalent.  The average adult body is comprised of 1.25 Kg (almost 3 pounds) of calcium.

Not only is calcium an integral part of the teeth and bones, where 99% of the calcium in the body is found, but it also helps the body: 

• form blood clots at the site of a wound
• aids in muscle and nerve function
• regulate blood pressure, required for normal heart beat
• cellular structure
• release certain hormones
• many enzyme reactions

Calcium is present in high amounts in a wide variety of foods, although most people get the majority of their calcium from just one group of foods - dairy products, and in particular, cow’s milk. As calcium often works alongside magnesium, it is useful to obtain calcium from sources that also include magnesium. This is not the case for milk.

In fact, calcium and magnesium work so closely together that, if there is an excess of one in the body, it will often lead to a reduction in the other, disturbing the natural balance. In addition to the presence of magnesium, it is beneficial that many of the other sources of calcium, such as seeds and nuts also contain essential fatty acids, which are also required for healthy brain, nerve, hormone and immune systems.  Calcium is also closely associated with and its absorption is dependent on Vitamin D.

According to the National Institute of Health, most people do not get enough calcium in their daily diet. Supplements are suggested as an alternative to meet their daily required intake.  

The most commonly used form of calcium is calcium carbonate, which is often derived from limestone or oyster shells.  This form of calcium is poorly absorbed and is often contaminated with poisonous lead.

Determining which supplements are right for you can be a chore. At HealthPro Nutrient, your day-to-day wellness is our priority and we take out the guesswork by providing the highest quality vitamins and minerals that:

• Are Designed by Doctors

E. Coli Mutation

E. COLI OUTBREAK IN EUROPE IS THE DEADLIEST IN HISTORY

 

The World Health Organization said that "The E. coli bacteria responsible for a mysterious outbreak in Europe that has left 18 people dead and sickened hundreds is a new strain that has never been seen before."  The new strain has "various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing."

Scientists sequencing the bacteria strains found in the outbreak said it was caused by "an entirely new super-toxic E. coli strain" that has several antibiotic resistant genes.

Sadly for those affected, it is not just about recovering from this type of infection; it is also about recovering from the treatment to end the infection.

The WHO recommends that to avoid food-borne illnesses people wash their hands before eating or cooking food, separating raw and cooked meat from other foods, thoroughly cooking food, and washing fruits and vegetables, especially if eaten raw. Experts also recommend peeling raw fruits and vegetables if possible.

The creation of Ai/E10 in 1993 resulted directly from the recognition of this problem.  We need to keep our immune function vibrant so we can respond as effectively as possible to these new challenges if we get caught-up in one of them.  The food chain is always at risk and we need to be alert to the dangers of contaminated food.  It doesn't just happen in apparent unsanitary places.  It can happen anywhere. 

If you are traveling this summer, or anytime, it is always a good idea to increase your daily use of Ai/E10.  Remember to "think immune."

Study reveals that many Americans are not getting enough calcium

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM? THE SECRET TO BONE HEALTH...

The May, 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association published the conclusion of researchers at Yale University and the University of Connecticut that many older Americans have an insufficient intake of calcium. Adequate intake of the mineral has been defined by the Institute of Medicine as 1,000 milligrams per day for adults and 1,200 milligrams per day for those over 50.

Calcium and vitamin D are the cornerstone of osteoporosis prevention, yet they are not the whole story. Other minerals and nutrients that are vital to healthy bones include magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B12, and others, including zinc, manganese, boron, copper, and silicon (Nieves JW 2005; Hirota T et al 2005).

Many studies have shown that calcium can reduce bone loss and suppress bone turnover. Calcium requires the presence of vitamin D for maximum absorption. 

Although calcium is readily available in dairy products and other dietary sources, many Americans are calcium deficient. Here are a few possible explanations for calcium deficiencies: 

• Decreased vitamin D availability, possibly due to kidney or liver problems or insufficient exposure to sunshine
• Decreased gastrointestinal tract absorption due to stomach or intestinal problems
• Increased loss of calcium from the kidneys,colon and bowels
• Low dietary calcium intake
• Medications that inhibit calcium absorption

There are many forms of calcium on the market., calcium malate is an excellent source of bio-available calcium (absorbed by the body) and a good way to receive supplemental calcium.

Tips For Better Vitamin D Absorption

Editor's Note: Vitamin D3 is The Best Vitamin D Supplement Available. Click Here To Learn More.

______________________________________________

Vitamin D has come to the forefront recently as a hugely important vitamin for the human body. This makes it that much more urgent that we follow some simple steps to ensure our bodies are absorbing enough of this pivotal nutrient. Since most Americans are grossly deficient in vitamin D, it is important to spread the word about how to most effectively build your blood levels up.

The first and perhaps most obvious tip for better vitamin D absorption is to make sure you are getting enough UV (sun) exposure. Ideally, everyone would get about 15 minutes of UV exposure every day, exposing most of the body. However, this is not practical since most of us don't live in sunny locations year round.

UVB exposure, as opposed to UVA, is the only spectrum of UV light which facilitates vitamin D production. Sun exposure has long been vilified by the media and medical community as unhealthy. However, there is a reason that our skin tans. We were meant to be exposed to the sunlight, and our skin is equipped to handle some exposure, although some people do have better defenses against burning.

Even indoor tanning beds may have their proper use when it comes to therapeutic vitamin D exposure. Indoor tanning beds that emit more UVB rays may be of use for those that are indoors most of the time for long winters.

It is important that one not over expose themselves to both the natural sunlight and the rays of an indoor tanning bed. You should never let the skin get anything more than the slightest pink tint, and use your ethnicity and past experience to gauge your UV sensitivity.

If you burn easily, consider supplementing your diet with lycopene, a key nutrient that is found in heavy concentration in tomatoes. Studies recently showed that those with high levels of lycopene had a much higher "internal sunscreen," and burned much less easily, than those who did not take in a lot of lycopene. In fact, antioxidants in general may give your skin an edge against UV sensitivity and cut down on burning.

After exposure to UVB rays, make sure you wait as many hours as you can before showering. Why? After UV exposure, your skin produces a powdery substance that is then absorbed into the skin and converted to vitamin D by the body. If you wash this off too early, you interfere with the amount of vitamin D made, and hence do not get the full benefit.

When exposing the skin in the summer time, it is best to expose as much of the body as possible, other than the face and arms. Your legs and torso are great for making vitamin D. So, make the most of your natural sun exposure and allow the larger parts of your body to be bare.

Now, let's talk about vitamin D supplementation. While UVB exposure is still the absolute best way to synthesize vitamin D, supplements are a secondary approach to making sure you get enough of this vitamin as well. When looking for a supplement, make sure you choose one that is encapsulated in an oil base. These oil based capsules are most likely better absorbed since vitamin D is fat soluble.

Why Should I Take Probiotics?

Most people in North America lack important probiotic bacteria normally found in healthy people that consume a diet based on plants, fibers, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Today’s highly processed commercial foods lack the healthful microorganisms that the body requires for a normal balanced digestive system.

Supplemental probiotics provide the helpful bacteria that normally live in the human digestive tract. Taken regularly, probiotics can help keep the digestive system in balance and functioning optimally and support immune system function, especially when you're taking antibiotics, which can wipe out intestinal bacteria indiscriminately.

Probiotics can also be an effective treatment for:

• diarrhea
• lactose intolerance
• irritable bowel syndrome
• vaginal yeast infections
• oral thrush
• Crohn's disease
• and ulcerative colitis

Probiotics have even been linked to improvements in autistic children and skin conditions such as eczema.

Take probiotic supplements whenever you're on antibiotics as soon as you start your course of medication and continue for a few days after you finish. Look for brands containing Lactobacillus (like HealthPro Nutrient's Probiotic).

Always check the expiration date and protect your supplements from heat, moisture, and air.

You can stay on probiotics indefinitely. The only reason to avoid them is if you have had an allergic reaction.

We are often asked these questions:

• Why is it important to use Ai/E10 EVERY DAY?
• After the end of cold and flu season, why should I use Ai/E10?
• If I feel OK, why should I use Ai/E10?

These are really good questions and there are really important reasons to take Ai/E10 EVERY DAY all year long. Let's look more closely at the reasons.

The immune system carries out millions of actions EVERY DAY with no conscious instruction from us to do so and operates with a set of three imperatives relative to foreign invaders:

1. Recognize them.
2. Respond to their presence.
3. Remember how to respond to them effectively.

There are five factors that have been shown to interfere with the immune system's ability to execute its duties relative to the imperatives:

1. Stress.
2. Poor nutrition.
3. Toxins.
4. Infection.
5. Trauma.

Many people are surprised by the five factors and will ask, "Where is "cold and flu season" on the list"?

Cold and flu season is surely capable of putting additional stress on our immune function, but it is only one stress and probably is not the greatest for any of us. We do not need to remind anyone how much stress we all experience in our EVERYDAY lives.

These factors restrict immune system communication and reduce the immune system's effectiveness. This reduction in communication is represented physically in the body by a reduction in the number, variability and viability of immune communication cells available to carry out the imperatives.

Ai/E10 was designed to support your immune system as it carries out these millions of actions EVERY DAY, all year, by providing an orally absorbable source for replacement of relevant immune communication molecules that have been lost to stress, poor nutrition, toxins, infection and trauma. Ai/E10 has been produced in the United States from a private herd of dairy cows specially bred and maintained for this purpose since 1994.

Clinical experience has shown that the use of Ai/E10 begins to provide benefits immediately, but the full benefits are not achieved until after 30 to 45 days of continual use in most people. Since the majority of dietary supplements we take EVERY DAY, as well as the nutrients we absorb from food, are associated directly or indirectly with immune function, keeping immune communication working well all year makes our other supplementation more effective and allows us an opportunity to build immune capability and capacity to help support us when additional stress or other factors present themselves.

Using a monthly automatic shipment program assures you that Ai/E10 will be there for you and your family for EVERY DAY use, bringing the full benefit of its immune supporting capability so vital for a healthy lifestyle all year long.

San Francisco -- If doctors are ever going to find a way to attack and even cure Alzheimer's disease, they first need to know how to diagnose it -- ideally years, maybe even decades, before patients are symptomatic and their brain has been irreparably damaged.

That's why researchers around the country are intrigued by several promising new studies that highlight techniques for identifying Alzheimer's in the body long before people show the classic signs of memory loss and confusion.

A study that was released in August to much excitement among researchers suggested that a spinal fluid test could be very effective in identifying abnormal levels of amyloid, a protein that forms plaque buildups in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.

In the Bay Area, researchers at the University of California at San Francisco and Stanford are studying drugs that would serve as biomarkers in the body, attaching themselves to proteins like amyloid and letting doctors find those proteins more easily using imaging tests.

"It's exciting that we will likely soon have new tools that will allow us to detect Alzheimer's changes very early, even in people who are cognitively normal," said Dr. Adam Boxer , director of the Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia clinical trials program at UCSF's Memory and Aging Center. "If there were a treatment that could remove amyloid from the brain, then it would really be an exciting and powerful combination."

People are currently tested for Alzheimer's using a fairly lengthy, somewhat subjective process that starts with simple memory tests and interviews with patients and their family about problems they may be having from day to day. Those tests are accompanied by a physical examination, more thorough cognitive testing, and blood analysis and a brain-imaging scan.

The process is more about ruling out other diseases with similar symptoms -- such as a stroke or a benign brain tumor -- that may be easily treated. After the testing is over, doctors can reliably diagnose Alzheimer's with about 90 percent accuracy, but it can only be confirmed after death, when brain tissue can be studied under a microscope.

For patients and the doctors treating them, it's not necessarily important to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's because for now there's no cure for the disease. But for researchers, it's essential to be able to identify test subjects who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's so that they can focus on potential treatments.

Researchers hope that if doctors can find abnormal buildup of proteins before people become symptomatic, it may be easier to find effective treatments. Most studies of potential drug treatments for Alzheimer's have had disappointing results.

"Many (researchers) believe these studies may have failed because we started treating people too late," Boxer said. "The majority of people in studies have full-blown Alzheimer's disease, and it's a tall order to get treatments to work in these people.

It's hoped that by developing biomarkers, we could find it much earlier."

Most research into early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is centered around two proteins: amyloid beta, which is distinctive for the way it clumps up in the brain like plaque, and tau, which forms tangled strands in the brain when neurons die. Buildup of these proteins is common in the brains of deceased people who had Alzheimer's.

At Stanford, a team of researchers is participating in a national study of the drug florbetaben, which would act as a marker for amyloid and allow doctors to find the protein using certain imaging techniques. UCSF researchers, meanwhile, are looking for similar drugs that might be used a biomarkers for the tau protein.

The spinal fluid test, which was studied primarily at the University of Pennsylvania, involves performing a spinal tap on patients to look for signs of both proteins.

Dr. Marci Teresi , clinical lead of the Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Memory Clinic, said doctors are enthusiastic about the current research, but she doesn't expect such testing to be made widely available outside of research studies any time soon.

"It's mostly useful for investigational purposes, for finding people who want to participate in research studies," Teresi said.

"I don't think it's as practical for the large number of patients that are out there seeing their regular doctors."

In other words, patients with no Alzheimer's symptoms shouldn't start asking their doctors for advanced imaging tests any time soon. In fact, early testing could do more harm than good, some doctors say, if it causes patients anxiety and depression before they're showing signs of Alzheimer's. Some people with protein buildup in their brains never get Alzheimer's at all.

Still, there are advantages to screening older people who may be showing the first small signs of illness, said Dr. Catherine Madison , medical director of California Pacific Medical Center's Memory Clinic.

Several drugs can make life for patients more comfortable and slow down some of the worst effects of the disease, especially if the treatment is started early. Patients can also benefit from therapy and anti-depressants.

"There's no magic cure out there. Even if I could tell you that you were going to get dementia, would you want me to?" Madison said. "But we have medications that can help. We can slow the course of this and make it a whole lot better for patients and families."

Bentonite Clay: Safe Protection from Environmental Toxins

by Cheryl McCoy, citizen journalist

(NaturalNews) During the past few months, there has been an outbreak of reports of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and toxins being found in our water supply, our food, our air, our soil....just about everything we come in contact with it seems. But, armed with the proper information, there`s no reason to live in a state of fear. Of course, measures must be taken to remove these harmful substances from our eco-system, but until that dream becomes a reality, you can protect yourself and your loved ones with calcium Bentonite clay. Used both externally and internally, calcium Bentonite clay safely removes toxins from your system.

What are we up against?

Here are just a few samples of the reports that have surfaced recently:

The CDC announced that traces of a chemical used in rocket fuel were found in samples of powdered baby formula, and could exceed what`s considered a safe dose for adults if mixed with water also contaminated with the ingredient. The study by scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked for the chemical, perchlorate, in different brands of powdered baby formula. The chemical has turned up in several cities` drinking water supplies.

Natural News recently reported on a study conducted by Baylor University researcher Bryan Brooks, and published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, that examined fish caught near Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Philadelphia and Orlando, testing them for residues of pharmaceuticals. The results showed that these fish are contaminated with a chemical cocktail of seven different prescription medications, including cholesterol drugs, blood pressure drugs, allergy drugs and psychiatric medications used to treat bipolar disorder and depression, and two different chemicals used as artificial fragrance in soaps.

USA Today recently reported on a new study finding that young children have high levels of chemical fire retardants in their blood. The report stated, "Toddlers and preschoolers had levels of the chemicals that were on average three times higher than their mothers`, according to a study of 20 families by the Environmental Working Group, which has campaigned against the chemicals for several years. The chemicals, called polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, are widely used in televisions, remote controls, computers, mattresses and other products. Scientists are concerned that the chemicals cause brain damage in animals and may cause hyperactivity in children, says Jimmy Roberts, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics` committee on environmental health. Doctors also are concerned that the chemicals affect the reproductive organs and hormone systems."

These same chemicals are showing up in high amounts in the breast milk of American mothers. Two studies found that all of the women tested were contaminated with polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Their PBDE levels were the highest in the world: 10 to 20 times higher than those in Europe , where the chemicals are being phased out.

Last year, an article in the Washington Post warned that trace amounts of 6 popular prescription drugs had been found in the area`s drinking water, and that these harmful substances could not be filtered out by most treatment systems. This was not an isolated incident. According to the article, "Pharmaceuticals, along with trace amounts of caffeine, were found in the drinking water supplies of 24 of 28 metropolitan areas tested." Although experts agree that aquatic life are most at risk from exposure to the drugs in rivers and streams, researchers are concerned about what they don`t know about human health effects.

Bottled water is evidently not the answer. Natural News recently reported that bottled water from across the country contained a wide variety of toxic substances, according to laboratory tests conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). The study authors wrote that the purity of bottle water cannot be trusted. Researchers conducted comprehensive tests at the renowned University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory on 10 leading bottled water brands, purchased from retailers in nine states and the District of Columbia (D.C.). A total of 38 toxic pollutants were detected altogether, with each brand containing an average of eight. Chemicals detected included fluoride, byproducts of chlorine-based disinfection, caffeine, pharmaceutical drugs, fertilizer residue, plasticizers, solvents, fuel propellants, arsenic, other minerals and heavy metals, and radioactive isotopes. Four brands also contained bacteria.

There is a safe and easy way to protect yourself from these horrifying contaminants - calcium bentonite clay. According to Michel Abeshera, author of The Healing Clay, "Clay has a remarkable resistance to chemical agents.... [A]s a bacteria-destroying agent it can render contaminated water innocuous."

How does calcium Bentonite clay work?

Bentonite clay carries a uniquely strong negative ionic charge which causes it to `magnetically` attract any substance with a positive ionic charge (i.e., bacteria, toxins, metals, etc.). These substances are both adsorbed (sticking to the outside like Velcro) and absorbed (drawn inside) by the clay molecules. Your body doesn`t digest clay, so the clay passes through your system, collecting the toxins, and removing them as the clay is eliminated. It`s like a little internal vacuum cleaner. In his book The Clay Cure, Ran Knishinsky states it this way:

"The clay`s immediate action upon the body is directly on the digestive channel. This involves the clay actually binding with the toxic substances and removing them from the body with the stool. It performs this job with every kind of toxin, including those from the environment, such as heavy metals, and those that occur naturally as by-products of the body`s own health processes, such as metabolic toxins. The clay and the adsorbed toxins are both eliminated together; this keeps the toxins from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream."

So while it currently may be impossible to avoid these contaminants, using calcium Bentonite clay can remove them from our system.

How do we use the calcium Bentonite clay?

In this day and age, there`s virtually no way to isolate yourself from the toxins that surround us. In our air, in our food, in the ground beneath our feet, and in our water, the contaminants abound. However, with calcium Bentonite clay, you can keep yourself healthy and vibrant.

Perry Arledge, author of Living Clay: Nature`s Own Miracle Cure, suggests the following protocol to keep yourself internally cleansed:  

Clay must be taken internally. Take two ounces of liquefied clay twice a day made with 1 part dry powder calcium Bentonite clay to 8 parts water for 14 days. After that, you can scale back to 1 ounce a day.

Clay baths, taken twice a week, are also helpful. Clay baths help keep your body cleansed by pulling toxins through the pores. To prepare a clay bath, scatter about 2 cups of Bentonite clay powder into the bath water as it`s running, and use your hands to swish away any lumps that might form. A clay bath should last ideally between 15-20 minutes. Submerge as much of your body as possible during the bath. The more clay that is used in the therapy, the more powerful the response.

How do we choose the right clay?

There are many companies selling clay these days, but you need to know this: Not all clays are created equal! Some clays should never be used externally, let alone internally. You must do your due diligence and make certain that you are using a high quality, safe, healing clay. According to an article published in Natural News, the following standards should be followed when choosing a good quality detoxing clay:

• A natural calcium Bentonite clay pure and free of contaminants.
• A pH of 8.7 or above.
• From a company that provides a mineral analysis sheet.
• From a company that provides a certified laboratory microbial test.
• A Montmorillonite-Smectite Clay that Absorbs and Adsorb.
• So pure it is odorless and tasteless.
• It is an all natural vs. processed clay.
• Has professional packaging (no Ziploc bags or hand-written labels) with labels showing directions and ingredients.
• A non-gritty clay
• From a company that gives you direct contact information - a phone number, physical address and an e-mail address.
• From a company available to answer questions about their clay.
• From a reliable company that has been in business for several years.
• A clay that does not stain material.
