WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF FLUORIDE IS REMOVED FROM THE DRINKING WATER WILL TOOTH DECAY RATES INCREASE WHEN FLUORIDATION ENDS?



Jim Maxey DDS
DentalConfessions.com 


Communities that are ending fluoridation should consider themselves very fortunate to be eliminating this very toxic arsenic laced industrial waste fluorosilicic acid chemical from their water supply. However, I know there will be a slew of dentists and other pro fluoride folks who will begin to rave on and on and on that tooth decay rates will now double or triple when fluoridation ends.   Rest assured that will never happen as these misinformed dentists aren't aware that there has never been even one controlled study that scientifically documents that water fluoridation has ever reduced or prevented tooth decay. Since water fluoridation has never been shown to reduce or prevent tooth decay…how can removing it from the drinking water cause tooth decay rates to increase?

The American Dental Associations (ADA) “classical” water fluoridation/tooth decay “studies” the ADA used back in the 1940’s and 50’s to justify their  endorsement of water fluoridation were nothing more than orchestrated and carefully scripted unscientific publications that were  intentionally sculptured to create the illusion that fluoride had something to do with reducing tooth decay rates.

H. Trendley Dean, DDS, was the chief dental officer at the US Public Health Service and who the ADA refers to as the “Father of water fluoridation.”  Dr. Dean was responsible for designing and creating those "classical" fluoridated water/tooth decay studies done by the UPSHS in the 1940’s and early 1950’s.  Dr. Dean, when cross-examined before the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California in Oroville, October 20-21, 1955 admitted, under oath, that those “studies” were not valid studies. None of those studies, nor any since then, followed the same children from year to year, the water sources were not consistent, and there was absolutely no consideration for nutrition, oral hygiene care or dental care. A valid scientific controlled study cannot have these numerous variables, especially variables that are not taken into consideration.  The ADA just forgot to teach dentists that Dr. Dean invalidated his own “classical” studies.

In addition the World Health Organization (WHO) has now determined that over the years tooth decay rates have gone down equally in fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities. So where is the “benefit?”  It’s not there…and never has been.  You can find that WHO documentation at www.FluorideAlert.org.

 All that will happen when fluoride is no longer being ingested is positive things for general health. Folks will no longer have to experience any of those adverse health effects that are either caused by, or contributed to, as a result of ingesting this arsenic laced toxic industrial waste fluorosilicic acid chemical soup.

Besides being known to be a general protoplasmic poison and a strong cellular enzyme poison, fluorine is also known to be comparable to lead and arsenic as far as its ability to cause some symptoms of toxicity in minute doses.  It has already been documented by the ADA and the US Public Health Service that adverse health effects caused by or contributed to by fluoridation are many and includes dental fluorosis which is the first visible symptom of chronic fluoride poisoning and developmental disturbances in bones such as osteopetrosis and osteosclerosis. Also included in the list of adverse health effects that are caused by or contributed to by fluoridation is goiter and cancer as well as autism like symptoms found in animal studies that equate to humans.  

I suggest that this information be shared with any pro fluoride individual who attempts to convince you that tooth decay rates will rise if this toxic fluoride chemical is removed from your drinking water supply.

Ending water fluoridation will not cause any increase in tooth decay rates as water fluoridation has never reduced or prevented tooth decay in the first place. And remember:

TRUTH DECAY CAUSES WATER FLUORIDATION…

Did you know that most vitamin companies copy the actual vitamin molecule in a laboratory, in an attempt to provide vitamins for your body? This is not the same as vitamins that come from whole food.

Did you know that most vitamin companies copy the actual vitamin molecule in a laboratory, in an attempt to provide vitamins for your body? This is not the same as vitamins that come from whole food.

What is a Synthetic Vitamin?

Until recently 99.9% of vitamins sold in stores and online have been synthetic man made vitamins produced in a laboratory to try and match the molecular structure of naturally occurring vitamins normally found in food. Many of these raw material synthetic vitamins are made by large pharmaceutical companies or companies based outside of the US.

What is an “Isolate” Vitamin?

More recently some man made vitamins have been “isolated” using natural sources, this is a much better brand than purely synthetic made from petroleum or similar sources, but questionable whether they should be called "whole food".
What is a “Food State Fermented” Vitamin?

Some vitamins have been sold as "Food State" sometimes also referred to as "Whole Food Vitamins" by the manufacturers. These are made by feeding a synthetic vitamin (see above about synthetic vitamins) to a yeast type brew. This is then fermented with the yeast to convert them to "Food State". The idea is for the yeast to convert the synthetic vitamin to a more digestible state, similar to food. The yeast is harvested, dried and then packed. The fermented option may be better than the pure synthetic option above, but we do believe it does not warrant the label "Whole Food".
What is a 100% “Whole Food” Vitamin?

When we refer to PhytoVitamins natural vitamins and minerals as 100% "Whole Food" derived through a proprietary process from natural sources; we mean nothing is man made or artificial. Our nutrition DOES NOT come from a laboratory; it comes directly from nature. That is the dramatic difference.

The PhytoVitamins USDA certified organic vitamins range, only contains whole food natural vitamins that are made with 100% whole organic foods that are additive free, synthetic vitamin free, vegetarian and vegan. For more than 15 years PhytoVitamins has been educating consumers about the benefits of true whole food vitamins.

To our knowledge we are one of only two companies that have been talking about synthetic free, fermented free whole food vitamins for this length of time. The difference between PhytoVitamins and the only other true whole food vitamin that has been around for longer than 10 years, is that PhytoVitamins is 100% vegan and free from spleen, liver, bone, glands and similar animal parts.
Why do we take the approach of sourcing vitamins and minerals from plants, fruits and vegetables? Because we believe that human health is best served by nature’s pharmacy of natural nutrition. The PhytoVitamins Brand is a step forward for pure natural whole food nutrition.

How Manufacturers of Skin Care and Body Care Falsely Claim Their Products are Certified Organic When in Fact they are NOT Organic!


How Manufacturers of Skin Care and Body Care Falsely Claim Their Products are Certified Organic When in Fact they are NOT Organic!

Many companies are ignoring the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) rules, with the intention of confusing their customers into believing their products are organic. How could this be possible you may ask? Some Companies claim to be certified by only having ONE certified organic product, therefore deceiving their customers into thinking that ALL of their products are organic. Only those that can present an organic certificate, listing all of their organic products can actually prove that their products are indeed certified organic. Don't be fooled if they only send you the first page showing the company name on that certificate, without sending you the rest of the pages listing the product. If the product is not listed then most likely it is not certified organic.

Another way a Company can deceive a customer is by stating that their farm grows their own organic crops and sell their own skin care products. They generally will use terms like; "Organic Skin Care from a USDA Certified Grower" this means that they may be certified as a grower but their individual skin care products are NOT certified.

In order to receive organic certification by the National Organic Program a manufacturer has to comply with hundreds of procedures and many pages of paperwork. This includes submitting ingredients label and artwork, followed by a series of inspections of the manufacturing facility. Finally the product is inspected, all of the ingredients used must have their individual organic certification, and then once a product has been approved the certifying agent adds that product to the company's organic certificate list.

There are various categories of Organic products;

100 PERCENT ORGANIC All ingredients must be certified organic, including any processing aids. Product labels must state the name of the certifying agent on the ingredients label. May include USDA organic seal and/or 100 percent organic claim. May include USDA organic seal and/or 100 percent organic claim. Must identify organic ingredients (e.g., organic dill) or via asterisk or other mark. Click here for an example of Nature’s Brands Herbal Choice Mari Organic Lavender Body Butter 

ORGANICAll agricultural ingredients must be certified organic, except where specified on National List. Non-organic ingredients allowed per National List may be used, up to a combined total of five percent of non-organic content (excluding salt and water). Product labels must state the name of the certifying agent on the information panel. May include USDA organic seal and/or organic claim. Must identify organic ingredients (e.g., organic dill) or via asterisk or other mark.  Click here for an example of Nature’s Brands Herbal Choice Mari Organic Day Cream Sweet Orange. 

  
“MADE WITH” ORGANICAt least 70 percent of the product must be certified organic ingredients (excluding salt and water). Any remaining agricultural products are not required to be organically produced but must be produced without genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge. Non-agricultural products must be specifically allowed on the National List. Product labels must state the name of the certifying agent on the information panel. May state “made with organic (insert up to three ingredients or ingredient categories).” Must not include USDA organic seal anywhere, represent finished product as organic, or state “made with organic ingredients.” Must identify organic ingredients (e.g., organic dill) or via asterisk or other mark. Click here to see an example of Nature’s Brands Herbal Choice Mari Facial Wash which is “Made With” Organic.

Why Our Diets Are Lacking in Nutrition

Posted by "Nature's Brands"
 
Established since 1995, and now based in San Antonio TX USA, Nature's Brands supplies a comprehensive range of natural brands with over 150 Certified USDA Organic Health and Beauty products. The harvest of nature's pure nutritional healing powers come from Organic Skin Care Products, Natural Whole Food Vitamins, Alkaline Body Balance Supplements, Nutritious Green Foods, Pure Herbal Remedies and Quality Vitamins Supplements. 

Why Our Diets Are Lacking in Nutrition
Eating a completely balanced and nutritious diet is becoming more difficult these days as large corporate farms are taking the place of smaller, home-grown farming operations. And with some of these modern farms comes the use of new and "improved" ways of farming, which in many cases includes irradiating food, using artificial coloring and flavoring to enhance the look and taste of the food we buy, and even genetic engineering practices such as the use of GMOs.
What Are GMOs?
GMOs are genetically modified foods produced in laboratories while genetically modified crops are grown at biotechnological farming facilities. Since around 1976, experiments with GMOs have been used in agriculture to produce crops that are bigger, better, and resistant to certain insects or herbicides. However, a byproduct of this experimentation is that the plants created by biotechnology are not natural or organic and are lacking in raw and whole food ingredients. As you know, when you change the genetic component of plants that become food, this also affects the entire food chain.
While it's too early to know how GMOs will affect our health, what we do know is that artificial dyes, preservatives, and additives used in this process are unnatural to our diet. As we become more dependent on these products, we are moving away from the foods that contain vitamins and minerals and replacing them with a lower - quality source of nutrition.
An Easy and Nutritious Way to Supplement Our Diet
In 1995, recognizing that our food sources were changing, Natures Brands developed the product Supa Herbal GreensTM a super nutritious green foods supplement that provides 100% organic, all natural green vegetables, whole grains, vitamin rich seeds and enzymes in capsule and powder form.  Made from pure, raw 'certified organic' ingredients, Supa Herbal Greens is formulated for vegetarians and vegans and infused with the natural, antioxidant powder of plant - based ingredients.
By taking these green supplements once or twice a day, a person is able to enhance their diet right away helping to boost their nutritional needs without adding unnecessary calories to their diet. More importantly, Supa Herbal Greens are made with raw, whole food so there are no additives, preservatives, enhancers or fillers being used to replace any percentage of the product. What you get is 100% nutrition in a super - nutritious, compact formula that is easy to digest, easy to absorb and available to take on the road or use at home - so there's never a gap in one's diet. Best of all, it's "USDA Certified Organic," which means that it is the highest grade of all - natural and organic food.
What is the Difference Between Organic and Non - Organic Products?
The USDA sets the standard for what is considered "organic." To be certified organic, as in the case of Supa Herbal Greens, the manufacturer or producer must prove that all of their ingredients are approved substances as found on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Materials. In addition, the product and the company must be approved by a USDA - accredited certifying agency before they can receive the USDA Certified Organic seal to use on their label.  
The USDA organic seal verifies that the product has 95% or more certified organic content. In the case of organic crops, the USDA certification verifies that irradiation, sewerage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and GMOs were not used. This is important to know, because in non - organic products, you will commonly find these processes and ingredients, along with additives, preservatives, synthetic dyes and irradiated ingredients. Non organics may also contain gluten, dairy, soy, yeast, corn, and even animal by-products.
How To Know if a Product is Certified as Organic?
When you are shopping, you are bound to see the terms "Natural" or "Organic" on a lot of products' labels, websites and catalogs. However, are they really what they claim to be? For the sake of whole food purity, here are three ways you can determine if the vitamins you are taking meet the highest standards possible to be certified organic:
1. If a product is certified as organic, it will have a "USDA - Organic Certified" seal on the front label or a "Made with Organic Ingredients" statement. If you don't see either of these, put the product back on the shelf.
2. If the label has a USDA seal or "Made with Organic" statement, it must also list the name of the agency that has certified them in this format: Certified Organic By: (then the certifying agency's name). It must appear on the back of the label below the company's name. If this is not the case, then the claim may be false.
3. If a company claims to be organic in their online or printed advertising, ask to see a copy of their "Organic Certificate."  Their certificate will show you which of their products have been certified. If they do not have a certificate, or their products are not listed individually as being certified, then the certification is not genuine.
Decrease Your Dependence on "Faux Food" By Using Certified Organic Products
As the field of biotechnology continues to become more and more sophisticated, we can count on seeing more GMO foods displayed on the shelves in our markets. These foods are colorful and look good on the outside but nutritionally, they are not the same as natural food substances.
The next time you go shopping for tomatoes or fruit, ask whether the products are "certified organic" and you'll have a better idea of what is in the food you are buying and eating, both for the sake of your health and that of your family.

2000 year old Secret Benefits of Mineral Bath Salts finally revealed

What’s So Great About Bathing? 

The Benefits of Taking a Bath and Mineral Bath Salts....

Water has been seen throughout the ages as cleansing, refreshing, healing, and as a sign of renewal and a source of life. Our bodies are 85% water and it makes up 9/10s of our blood, saliva, plasma, lymphatic fluid, synovial fluid in the joints, and cerebrospinal fluid. It carries hormones, proteins, and helps deliver chemical messengers and signals from our brain to the rest of our body. It flushes toxic wastes, makes our cells big and healthy, and helps lubricate our moving parts.


What’s In It?Water is a universal solvent and it carries with it minerals that can be absorbed by the skin, which is why adding salts and essential oils to your bath can be beneficial. Additives like salt or oil can be absorbed into the skin and into the bloodstream in as little as 2 to 15 minutes. The heat from water in a bath opens our pores to help absorb minerals and aids in dilating blood vessels, boosts circulation, and helps detoxify the body. The suspension of the body in water also helps bring relief from gravity’s pull on our muscles and joints.Bathing is so beneficial to our bodies that there have been types of therapy developed around using water to help heal the body. Hydrotherapy is the use of water to treat various ailments by using water’s physical properties such as temperature and pressure. 

It is a broad term and refers mainly to all forms of water therapy. It can help bring relief and aid to diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis, and fibromyalgia, improve circulation, and help reduce swelling, aches, pains, and improve many other conditions.A type of water therapy, Balneotherapy is the treatment of disease by using mineral waters externally and is typically used at spas in the form of hot or cold baths, hot tubs, saunas, or wet compresses. Similar to Balneotherapy, another form of therapy using water is Thalassotherapy. It is the same concept, but uses specifically sea water and salt from various seas. Hydrotherapy is becoming more popular nowadays as people are looking for natural ways to help heal the body and as spas are becoming more common.There are a lot of physical benefits of taking a bath, but there are also some psychological benefits as well. 

As the water reduces tension on the body and relaxes muscles, the mind will also release stress and unwind. Baths have been shown to help people relieve stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, mild depression, and help people feel more positive overall.

Why Use Bath Salt?The types of salt used for bath salts are unlike regular table salt. Table salt has been bleached, iodized, and put through many other harsh steps that change its molecular structure and take out vital minerals, which is why this salt needs to be eaten in moderation as it can contribute tohealth problems. The right type of salt can be very beneficial to our bodies as it contains minerals we need that our bodies do not produce on their own. Salts used in bath salts or in Thalassotherapy (sea salt bath therapy) still contain all of their natural minerals that the body absorbs through water.



Of all the sea salts, Celtic Sea salt contains the most minerals and has the lowest amount of sodium. Once dissolved in water, it also has a very similar likeness to human blood and body fluids, which make it better for your body to absorb. Celtic Sea salt comes from the northern coast of France and is still harvested using a 2000 year old Celtic farming method. Harvesters of the salt use wooden rakes to scrape the layers of salt out of the sea and into piles. The reason wood rakes are used is because metal can change the molecular structure of the minerals contained in salt. This old Celtic far
ming method of using wooden rakes ensures the purity and balance of the minerals in the salt.


So what is in Celtic Sea salt that makes it so great for the body? A few of the types of minerals in Celtic Sea salt are chloride, iron, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, silicon, and fluoride. These trace minerals are important to your body. They act as facilitators for biological reactions meaning they help carry the brain’s messages throughout the nervous system, improve muscle response, and help the body absorb the nutrients it gets from food.Sodium and Chloride help regulate acidity in the body and sodium maintains pH balance in cellular fluid. Both are necessary for osmosis and electrolyte balance. Iron is needed for cell function and blood utilization. Magnesium aids in cell functionality and is necessary for muscle contraction and absorption of amino acids. Potassium helps stimulate nerve impulses and muscle contractions, stimulates kidney and adrenal function, and is also important for biosynthesis of protein. 

Calcium is used to build healthy bones and teeth, stimulates muscles and nerves, helps blood coagulation, and is necessary for regulating a healthy heartbeat. Zinc is beneficial for growth, development, immune system response, insulin synthesis, and can help prevent bacterial infections. Copper aids in the absorption of iron and vitamin C. Manganese is necessary for use of glucose, lipid synthesis and metabolism, and pancreatic function and development. Silicon helps with bone growth and formation, and may help keep skin young looking and keep hair and nails healthy. Fluoride keeps teeth enamel strong and helps the body absorb calcium.

Our body is made up of water from our saliva, to blood, to our cells and joints. The minerals in water help our bodies function. Bathing is a great way to absorb those minerals and has been used throughout the ages by the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians. Bathing today is seen as forms of hydrotherapy such as Thalassotherapy and Balneotherapy or even just soaking in a hot tub with some bath salt.
