Microplastics and Ways to Keep Them Out of Your Body

8/30/2025

Microplastics are now a universal issue!

Have You Given Up That Plastic Water Bottle Yet?

Microplastics? We don’t know much about them but we do know that they are being found in places they just should be found. These tiny particles of plastic are showing up in organs like your lungs, kidneys and liver while also crossing the blood-brain barrier to be stored in your brain.

The prediction is that every human holds about a credit card sized equivalent of plastic in them. Considering that plastics are a petroleum product we can pretty much just agree that the human body was not meant to store or process them. The end result is anyones guess, but waiting to find out is a good way to become a statistic.

If change is something you might consider there are some easy starts to the process.
For my money the plastic water bottle has to go. Water stored in plastic will be contaminated even under perfect conditions and every time that bottle heats during transport, storage, in your car and in your backpack, even more plastic leaches into the water. You might as well just start saying no to anything styrofoam and cooking containers made of plastic. Those meals in cooking bags….hmmm, they have to go. The concept is that heat and plastic are the recipe for leaching chemicals and microplastics into your food.

On a deeper dive you’re going to start thinking about those food and drink cans…even beer. Cans are lined with plastic coatings. Even some of your favorite foods come in plastic jars instead of glass now. Red flags will wave no matter where you turn but maybe you can start with the most obvious and biggest contributors in your day. It’s a journey. It takes time to find and make changes so don’t give up just because it’s change.

Even the most faithful reformers will still find their fair share of microplastics from just being in the world. Plastics are used in bedding, carpet, clothing, cars, buildings and they are the soul of the health care industry. They can also be found in water, fish and food sources. If you just do a couple of changes to start, consider it progress.

  Instead of a conventional sponge consider

   a replacement made of

natural fibers.

   Glass storage is safer and can be

used in the microwave or freezer.

It just makes sense

   Have you ever tried the
   self-sealing beeswax
   paper instead of single
use plastic wrap?

It can be reused for years.

Need some ideas on how to limit your intake of plastic?

#1   End the use of plastic water bottles in favor of a stainless steel or glass bottle.
#2   End the use of plastic water bottles in favor of a stainless steel or glass bottle.
#3   Same as above. You’ve got to stop plastic water bottles if nothing else.
#4. Limit or end your use of drinks in plastic.
#5 Never cook on or in plastic. Microwave containers are microwave safe, not human safe.
#6   Do not drink hot liquids from styrofoam or plastic lined cups.
#7.   Replace coffee makers with plastic parts including tubing and internal parts.
#8.   Stop using plastic coffee pods.
#9.   Replace your plastic bristle toothbrush for a natural bristle brush.
#10. Buy products in non-plastic packaging when you can.
#11. Look for fabrics that are natural fibers like wool, bamboo or cotton.
#12. Give up plastics for food storage in favor of glass.
#13. Do not cut food on plastic or silicone.
#14. Buy what you can in glass over cans which are lined in plastic.

Teas that Help and Teas that Harm

Be a Tea Magician
and Create

Teas have a lot of qualities that keep us drinking them and looking for more flavors to enjoy. We rarely think about the health aspects but why not power punch your body with support when you can? There is also now a true downside that we need to start paying attention to when buying commercial teas.

Not only has the cost of commercial teas gone up but they are being found to have higher levels of contaminants than ever before. Pesticides, heavy metals and now microplastics from tea bags are the big concerns. If you are a faithful tea drinker I have a few concoctions that may interest you and maybe even interest the not so faithful tea drinker.

Using an electric kettle with a diffuser is my method. I make a gallon jug and drink it all day instead of plain water. It is nothing but pure, enriched water and there is no combination that does not provide value, so experiment. Because sugar and artificial sweeteners are negative additions, I use only pure stevia without additives like lactose or dextrose.

Your bits and pieces should be organic for true value, so mix and match making whatever you like. I grow a lot of things that I use fresh or dry and save for future use. If you find a resource you can dry or freeze, store in glass jars for later. Being mindful of flavors and colors is the fun part and knowing that everything you choose has value far and above the average tea bag is the bonus.

Brewing Resources

Citrus Peel: Antioxidant, antimicrobial, boosts immune health, rich in vitamin C

Avocado Seed: (Cut in pieces.) Anti-inflammatory, potassium, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, antioxidant

Avocado Leaf: Improves immunity and digestion, antioxidant, aid to heart health

Sow Thistle: (Looks like a dandelion with thorns in your yard) Rich in vitamins and minerals, aids digestion and inflammation, antioxidant

Bougainvillea Flowers: (The colorful pedals will make delicate tea but do not steep too long or you will lose the color for a brown tone.) Supports blood sugar, metabolism, digestion and liver functions, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial

Olive Leaf: Lowers blood pressure, manages type 2 diabetes, antioxidants, boosts the immune system, anti-inflammatory

Dandelion: Rich in vitamins and minerals, manages blood sugars, promotes liver health, antioxidant, anit-inflammatory

Milk Thistle: #1 for liver health with multiple benefits

Elderberry: Immunity boost, inflammation control, alleviates cold and flu symptoms, antioxidant, rich in vitamin C, provides a deep blue color

Anise: Adds the flavor of licorice, can aid digestion, menstrual cramps, menopause and infections, anti-microbial, boosts general health, available in star pods or ground

Lavender: Useful for anxiety, depression, poor sleep and menstrual cramps, aids in relaxation

Mint: Provides a strong flavor profile, aids in digestion and headaches, anti-inflammatory

When you find other ideas just search "benefits of" and you will see endless possibilities.

Crazy Pain Remedy with Avocado Seeds

6/23/2025

Could an Avocado Seed
provide Pain Relief?

When you finish making the guacamole, save that seed. It has a lot of value that you never hear about but a quick look into it will surely lead you to a wealth of possibilities. The seed is rich in potassium and is known to have anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. Plus it is full of antioxidants.

The avocado pit is mentioned in connection with the prevention of cancer, improving hair and skin qualities, preventing cardiovascular disease, regulating blood sugar and boosting the immune system. Think of it as part of your arsenal for general good health. It does a lot of things for your body and is benign in terms of taste with virtually no flavor that distracts from other foods so throw one in a smoothie and enjoy even more benefits.

The seed itself is softer than you’d expect. It can be cut easily or pulverized in a food processor or blender. It can be dried and added to recipes for its nutrient value.

Let’s look at the avo seed for pain. It seems crazy but so far people say my tincture works. I’m sure there are variations for this very old remedy, but I went the simplest route possible. Prep time is about two minutes and it is ready overnight.

There is no need to refrigerate. We have used it on old injuries, joints and nerve pain. It seems to work. Consider using a spray bottle.

When you look into it you will find all the usual warnings telling you that it has not been tested thoroughly and that you could irritate the skin. You will need to judge for yourself, but personally, I find it no more risk than buying a pharmaceutical that I don’t understand.

Avocado Seed Pain Reliever

Chop one avocado seed and place in a glass jar with a lid.
Cover with rubbing alcohol and lid. Let sit overnight.

Use as a topical for pain relief

Emeramed NBMI Available for Purchase

10/19/2024

2 Comments

There is a limited supply of NBMI, formerly known as OSR, available for purchase. This is not a counterfeit product and it is not made in China. This product is made by Emeramed, the parent company of NBMI and created by Dr. Boyd Haley.

If you do not know NBMI, it is a heavy metals chelator that works. Briefly, it causes metals to become inert when they attach. Metals do not detach to recontaminate the bloodstream and they exit the body via the colon. This means no side effects and no damage to organs. Noticeable improvement is fairly fast. Personally, after decades of illness, I experienced vast and measurable improvement in two weeks.

The product has become available by Dr. David Kennedy through his company, PurifyWater. He has created a legal way to distribute the product and bypass the lengthy FDA approval process which has failed to provide final approval after decades of successful results. Even though NBMI was proven safe while on the market as a supplement, the FDA is still having trouble bringing this revolutionary product to market as it competes heavily with Big Pharma.

Below I have reprinted Dr. Kennedy's information from his website. If you do not know the product or want more information about metals poisoning, search mercury, lead or heavy metals on this site which is www.SearchForTheCauseNotJustTheCure.com. FYI: I am not the seller and I do not have a financial gain from sales.

Dr. Kennedy's Ordering Information:

ProAdvocate membership and buying NBMI
You can order ultra-pure N1N3 bis 2mercapto ethyl isothalamide AKA: Irminix, Emeramide, NBMI, OSR#1 from PurifyWaterLLC.com
Safety was established before the first NBMI supplement was ever given in 2007 in animals Clarke et al., 2012 and then in humans. No amount is lethal! The FDA even acknowledged it was safe in 2019 at a Class C meeting. There have been no serious adverse events reported. However about 5% of heavy metal poisoned people react to thiols (sulfur) so read below and/or Return2Health (https://return2.health/articles/thiol-intolerance-and-mercury-toxicity) has an explanation of thiol sensitivity and a Thiol Self-Test. See how to test and overcome that condition below. Watch and listen to lectures by Professor Boyd Haley about NBMI. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXlizE09rjZ75K4GZsxkJB4k-g8pLl_TU

NBMI quickly renders toxic metal inert and harmless. Some of the metals sequestered in non- vascular areas and take longer to capture because they may not be near any circulating blood like for example lead deposited in cortical bone. You must have bone turn-over to expose that sequestered lead to NBMI. Exercise or weightlifting stimulates bone turn-over. I recommend a longer treatment for hard to get metals. It took my lead levels several years to decline to normal/low.

How to take:
Can be consumed with or without food. It won’t dissolve in water, but you certainly can wash it down with water. Like Dr. Haley I typically just put it under my tongue wash it down with coffee or water or just leave it so eventually some will be absorbed and the rest swallowed.

My recommendations: How to get the most bang for the buck from 10 grams:

Test first with 100mg to determine thiol sensitivity. NBMI has two thiols. The majority of people are not thiol sensitive.
If not thiol sensitive: take 300 mg AM and PM for 3 to 4 days (using 2.4 grams). Take a day off then 100 mg every one to two days using the remaining 7.6 grams (76 small white spoons) can last up to 5 months.
If you are thiol sensitive: First supplement with molybdenum (Mo) at 100 to 200 micrograms μg/day for a few days, then repeatedly test with 100 mg NBMI until the thiol sensitivity resolves. The reason for thiol sensitivity is most likely the displacement of Mb by Hg or some heavy metal. Once you take enough NBMI the heavy metals are gone, and your body will replace the missing Mb.

NBMI (oxidative stress relief) is an ideal chelator as well.
Definition of an ideal Chelator:

Totally nontoxic;
Made from natural substances to allow sale as a dietary supplement;
Uncharged and lipid-soluble, in order to cross the blood brain barrier and bio
membranes, so as to enter all cells and organelles of the body to which mercury
would migrate;
Capable of forming strong, thermodynamically irreversible semi-covalent bonds with
the toxic [heavy] metals, to eliminate toxicity upon binding and prevent
redistribution;
Minimally attracted to essential metals to prevent their depletion (a major toxic
effect of most charged chelators);
Chemically inert and harmless even after binding the toxic metal;
Effectively excretable, with and without a bound metal, through the bile and bowel
via the naturally occurring P-450 detox system, so as to prevent buildup in any organ or cell.

NBMI is an abbreviation for the chemical name. NBMI loves oxidative stress and binds the free radicals OH- 3 to 1. Metals are all 1 to 1. It has an enormous ORAC score 192,400.
In a phase 2 double blind clinical trial severely, mercury poisoned Ecuadorian gold miners who received 300 mg/day for 2 weeks, just 4.2 grams or 42 level 100 mg spoons showed significant drop in urine mercury, improvement in their symptoms, 7 out of 8 tremors ceased and measurably increased strength. Link to: the Ecuador Gold Miners Phase IIa The symptom improvement was significantly greater in the 300mg group than the 100mg group and both obviously much greater than the placebo controls.

Avoid new Hg exposure: If you have mercury fillings do get them out safely but do not chew gum. Don’t eat fish. Don’t get new mercury/silver tooth fillings. Don’t buy fluorescent lights that can break. I would recommend anyone intending to have existing mercury/silver tooth fillings removed or even polished i.e., during a tooth cleaning find a safe dentist trained in the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology’s Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) and I’d also take 300 mg 2 to 4 hours before that appointment.

If you have amalgam fillings?
NBMI will not hurt you if you take it while you have amalgam fillings. All mercury/silver fillings leak substantial amounts of mercury. However, you will continuously be exposed to new mercury daily until they have been removed. The amalgam removal can happen safely both rapidly or over time. The solution to a mercury filling is seldom a full crown. In choosing dentistry the less drilling you do the better it is for your teeth. The majority of people who are mercury poisoned are injured because of FDA approved mercury/silver amalgam fillings. If you have these fillings, dentists deceptively call “Silver”, I recommend you get them removed safely as soon as possible. The IAOMT has a safe amalgam removal certification. All US dental schools teach students to handle and implant mercury fillings carelessly and none teach safe removal so ordinary dentists regardless of undergraduate training can and have made this condition much worse by carelessly removing mercury fillings. For your protection I recommend you and the dental staff take NBMI at least 2 hours before dental work involving mercury.

Does NBMI bind Gadolinium (Gd)
We don’t know for sure because it costs an enormous amount to study even one metal and studying a condition that few doctors even admit is a problem is totally impossible, so we’ve done no clinical trials on Gd. But what we do know is every metal tested in the laboratory that loves sulfur loves NBMI. They are listed below. Understanding Gd behavior it should likely be attracted to NBMI. In addition, there are several individual reports of NBMI being of substantial benefit primarily in reduced pains.

What if you are environmentally sensitive?
Lots of environmental sensitive people have taken NBMI without experiencing serious side effects my late wife included. Any additional substances often referred to as binders are not needed and, in some cases, detrimental especially if they contain sulfites. A true chelator must use sulfite to grasp most heavy metals especially the worst of the worst mercury. Taking additional sulfite binders may overload a weakened enzyme necessary to digest sulfites. Don’t take anything with NBMI. It is not needed.

What can I expect?
The toxicity of heavy metals especially mercury is immediately stopped even though nothing seems to happen. The most frequently reported improvements are brain fog, diminished pains and increased energy. IMO the reason NBMI does not aggravate anything is because it does nothing to you. It doesn’t bond to organs, stick to blood or alter any reaction. All it does is float everywhere and in the presence of a heavy metal it presents a far superior energetic opportunity for the heavy metal to bond exactly like it wants to. So, the metal lets go of you and embraces NBMI permanently.

How does it work?
Because elemental mercury vapor is not charged it too floats everywhere. NBMI will find it anywhere because it too is uncharged and enters all areas of the body including the mitochondria. Healing the mitochondria is most likely why the Ecuadorian gold miners 10.3390/ijerph14010034 had significantly increased strength from just 4.2 grams of NBMI over two weeks (300mg/dayX14). Obviously, more would be better and that’s why I packaged the NBMI in 10-gram vials. More and for longer is better because NBMI seeps into all areas if given enough time.
When NBMI passes near a heavy metal the electron shell of the metal tells NBMI how it wants to be held by the two sulfur ends (thiols) of the protein arms. Iron wants a 45-degree convergence angle and mercury wants sulfur at 180-degrees. NBMI happily does either and many others because it is very flexible. That’s how it was designed to behave.

Is the bound metal still toxic?
No. When it bonds irreversibly with these heavy metals all of the electrons are happily engaged so the metals cause no further harm plus it takes enormous amounts of heat to ever break them apart so once captured the poisonous behavior of the heavy metal is rendered immediately harmless. 1 mg/kg mercury will kill most animals. Two thousand mg/kg mercury bound to NBMI was fed to animals and it didn’t harm then at all. The mercury=NBMI was absorbed, circulated, and penetrated all areas then came back out. No animals were harmed in this experiment.

Are my mercury fillings from the past causing my health problems now?
Yes. Don’t take my word for it go read the idiotic FDA webpages on amalgam safety. These toxic mercury fillings have been proven to release elemental mercury vapor. Elemental mercury vapor is regulated by the EPA for air quality at no more than 0.3 Parts per million (PPM) for safety. A person with an average number of “silver” fillings breath is so high in mercury safety officials would demand you be evacuated.
Now go read the FDA’s page of warning if you have one or more of the symptoms of mercury poisoning kidney, heart, brain.

Pregnant women and their developing fetuses;
Women who are planning to become pregnant;
Nursing women and their newborns and infants;
Children, especially those younger than six years of age;
People with pre-existing neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease
People with impaired kidney function; and
People with known heightened sensitivity (allergy) to mercury or other components of
dental amalgam.
They further warn victims of mercury intoxication to NOT get these fillings removed as that is dangerous. Which I agree with unless you follow the IAOMT SMART protocol. Continuing this insanity all the armed services, VA, Indian service, welfare and the USPHS still use mercury. 50 Million new mercury fillings in Americans every year.

Best Apps for your Health Journey

10/4/2024

2 Comments

'Getting healthy isn't a diet. It's a lifestyle and changes come with learning. If you don't "get it" you don't do it for long.

The process takes time and there is help. With the right app you can breeze through changes
and learn daily.

The journey to health is rarely a straight line. It’s usually filled with trials, errors and even guilt. A good phone app will help you sort it out and bypass a lot of studying and ingredient research.

There are three apps that I have found helpful over the years. All three mentioned are not just free, but manufacturers cannot pay to be part of the data bases. That means you get the truth without manipulation.

We’ve had EWG.org with a very good app. We’ve also had ThinkDirty.com that offers a lot of information. Both are quality resources that have worked hard to bring us facts about foods and personal care products that are safer, safest and just plain not good for us.

Now the bar has been raised. My newest app for checking the market aisles is Yuka.io. The data base is huge and the range of products is outstanding. Another cool feature is that it is fast so you can manage shopping without taking a lot of extra time.

The app is free, but you will find cheaters out there with similar names hoping to pry a few bucks out of you. Yuka does not demand a fee. There are some benefits of joining the group with a small fee, but your general access costs you nothing.

Membership cost $15 a year. For that extra money you are able to scan products offline, set up alerts for ingredients, food or chemicals, that you prefer not to use, search products by name without scanning and maintain an unlimited history of your searches.

Here is how food is scored. Food quality is 60% of the score. Calories, sugars, sodium, saturated fat, protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables make up the content of the food quality rating. The presence of additives makes up 30% of the score and 10% of the score is for organic ingredient use.

Ratings are obvious with a colored dot rating. Green is safest and considered excellent. Yellow has a limited amount of issues and is considered good. Orange is a poor rating and not as safe as yellow. Red is hazardous and should be considered unsafe. Because this is a European based app, the standards are European. For the US consumer that should be an upgrade from many FDA standards.

Cosmetics and personal care items are also included. They are rated with the same color coding and truly make choice selection easy.

Personally, I stay in the aisle until someone asks what I’m doing. Once they see the power of the Yuka app, they connect and get it for themselves. It's hard not to have fun with it.

The video will tell you everything you might want to know about the Yuka app.

Deleting Aluminum in the Kitchen

7/23/2024

Reducing your toxic load is a journey.
This is one easy step to getting
aluminum out of your food.

Cleaning up toxicity in your life is a big job and it's usually not a straight line journey. There is trial and error plus a lot of research and adjustment to find new products and habits to replace your toxic past.

If you are unwell or poisoned by chemicals or metals, you know the struggles of living with illness. Cleaning up toxicity can feel like just one more thing, but it's worth your effort.

When your body has to deal with a daily load of toxicity it cannot be focused on your healing which includes your natural detoxification and cell building. Without the extra burden, who knows what it might accomplish.

When it comes to aluminum, we worry about the brain. Even though there is a strong belief that Alzheimer's and dementia are encouraged by aluminum, there are others who will claim small doses won't hurt you. Your brain might disagree. And, those "others" are government agencies that have compiled years of bad information that they do not correct because there are no studies to prove the need for change. Instead they accept manufacturers' testing and opinions as truth. It's a curious loop and not in the best interest of keeping the public in good health.

In an effort to be safer than sorry, an easy kitchen fix is to delete alum and most baking powders. Although you can purchase baking powder that is aluminum-free, most of it is sold with aluminum. Deleting the variety with aluminum. absolutely does no damage to recipes. It's an easy fix to just buy aluminum-free baking powder and upgrade your kitchen instantly.

Alum is, as it sounds, made from aluminum. It is aluminum sulfate and used most often in recipes to keep crispness in fruits and vegetables. It has recently shown up for me in all pickle recipes that I've researched. I have exchanged the alum for grape leaves which should manage the same task. It may be that there will be a noticeable difference in the exchange, but managing the changes in holistic living is part of the journey.

The CDC Offers Parenting Advice

3/12/2024

1 Comment

Information was redacted to be shown on social media that censors these topics. The full report is printed in this article and can be seen by clicking the link to www.searchforthecausenotjustthecure.com.

Is it time to RE-think Parenting?

This is the CDC, Center for Disease Control, worksheet for good parenting. Just a quick glance lets you know that it is time for parents to jump in and make some decisions that might force them to give up the thought that the institution of medicine is a holy place to be trusted. Now the question is, who
made these decisions and was any part of it based on greed?

When you mention childhood vaccine schedules shoulders get squared and jaws become set. Everyone has an opinion that seems to be grounded in stone rather than a child’s best interest. An opinion without research is a prank some play just to be right, but when there are lives at stake that's not good enough. We need to do better than our opinions might have us believe.

If we back up to the basics of the human body, it’s pretty much a perfect machine. Children come equipped with an immune system and what it needs to survive. Good care and nourishment foster those systems and it can do amazing things. Add chemicals and you diminish that perfect system for what we hear is a better, more improved machine?

It’s time for parents to think out loud and do some homework. There are opinions on all sides, but the final one should be yours and it should be based on your particular child.

So where do you go to get answers to make decisions when it comes to the published vaccine schedule that your doctor is forced to rely upon? Good question. Your doc is limited by law as to what can be said to you. That’s a problem since we have always believed the doctor’s word was final, but things have changed.

In the search for truth about medicines and vaccines there are a few things that might help you come to your decision:

1. Never forget that science is for hire. You can make statistics show what you need to prove.
2. It can takes years or decades for the ramifications of medicines to manifest, so “no known side effects” is a spineless phrase.
3. Television media receives about 75% of their income from Big Pharma advertising. This makes them a less than trustworthy resource.
4. Many of our former trusted sources have been funded by entities with secondary gain as a priority over health.
5. Read and research ingredients for all medications. No matter how long that research takes or who you annoy, it is worth your effort. Each ingredient will have threads on line to more information.
6. If any medications have roots in mercury or lead you should have great concern. These elements are casually used and cause great harm. They are often labeled with names you don’t associate with these metals, such as thimerosal which is mercury and highly toxic.
7. You can also check the VAERS website which is, Vaccine Adverse Effect Reporting System. This is a poorly developed government site that is difficult to use, but with persistence you can find information on vaccine injuries from those who tackled the site to report injuries.
8. The FDA, the CDC, the AMA and ADA are all government entities with information. Sometimes it conflicts and all positions should be verified. None are trustworthy any longer.
9. You can also check the internet for lawyers who specialize in lawsuits over a specific product.
10. Check YouTube for information from others who have taken the medication in question.

The truth is not easy to come by and making a decision that is counter to popular opinion can be a nightmare, but again, there are lives at stake. All we can do is our best to make independent decisions about health and the need for a child to be give 79 vaccines before age 18.

Symptoms of Mercury in the Body

1/23/2024

1 Comment

The Symptoms of Mercury
are a mystery. Many think they have
conditions like Parkinson's,
Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's,
IBS, Crohn's Disease or cataracts only
to find out they have symptoms of
mercury.

It is the rare few who understand how dangerous mercury is or how to identify it. Mercury can be confusing as symptoms are random, constantly changing and different for everyone.

The list of symptoms is in no way complete. I always feel like mercury and heavy metals can cause just about anything, but the list below will give you an idea of some of the more common symptoms.

You should not expect to have all of these symptoms or consider any of them to be a diagnosis. Testing is the only accurate way to be sure your body is actually poisoned. With that said, testing is a moving target and can change often. Blood testing is the least accurate and often gives inaccurate results since the body will store mercury to keep you safe.

Symptoms of Mercury in the Body:

Immune System Damage
Kidney Damage
Neurological Disorders
Endocrine Disruption
Thyroid Malfunction
Cognitive Impairments
Delusions
Psychological Disorders
Nerve Damage
Tremors
Insomnia
Memory Loss or fluctuations
Headaches
Hearing Loss or fluctuations
Temporomandibular Join Disorder (TMJ)
Bowel Disorders (IBS)
Anxiety
Depression
Joint Pain
Candida Imbalance
Chronic Fatigue
Weakness
Lethargy
Palsy
Concentration Difficulties (Brain Fog)
Numbness and Tingling
Reproductive Dysfunction
Suicidal Ideations
Vision fluctuations

Fast Food Tests Show 100% Have Heavy Metals

11/29/2023

0 Comments

Sometimes there seems like only bad news when it comes to poison and toxicity, but
there are organizations fighting for your right to clean food and a cleaner world.

It sounds absurd to hear that fast food, or any food for that matter, might contain enough toxicity to cause permanent damage to your body, but it can and does. How can this be?

The agencies that have regulated your food and the environment have been wrong for years. Rather than admit their errors and setting proper regulations, the great cover up continues. Meanwhile, illness and chronic conditions are rampant. It’s pretty simple, you cannot poison the human body without doing harm.

When manufacturers and regulators refused to test the dangers of substances, they can honestly say there are ‘no findings’ that show dangers. Because of policies like this, our world has become unsafe.

The good news is that there are many organizations fighting for improvement that will make changes to the quality of life. Moms Across America is one of those organizations. Take a look at their testing and see what is really in the food you thought was safe. Read the rest of the report at

So Now Your Christmas Tree is Under Suspicion for Lead and Toxicity?

11/26/2023

0 Comments

A California Prop. 65 sticker alerted me
to the issue of toxic indoor plants.

It sounds crazy but we are no longer getting
"a little bit of poison here and there."
We are now expected to live in poison.
Eventually it has to matter.

So Now Your Christmas Tree is Under Suspicion for Lead and Toxicity?

Yep. That’s right. Your Christmas tree could be a source of great toxicity. Whether it’s a real or artificial tree, it’s time to take a second look.

Real trees are being sprayed with toxic chemicals by most growers. A favorite of growers is glyphosate, the primary ingredient for Round Up which is known to cause a long list of health issues, including links to cancer. Over the 5-10 years of growing, most trees are regularly sprayed.

How does this affect you, the consumer? Who knows is the answer and basically, who cares other than those who end up sick? You are on your own but if you need safer or better, it is time to be aware of your purchases.

Moving to artificial trees seems like the answer, but…Wait! Very few of these trees are without issues. Many are made with PVC plastics that are known to contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Let’s not forget the flame retardant which is another set of problems for the body.

Advertising can say “Safe” without being safe and non-toxic can be just as meaningless. Lead-free does not mean free from all toxicity, but it's a start. Remembering that Round Up was sold as “safe” makes it clear we are left to our own research.

Why have we never worried about this before? Because the use of poison is getting more casual. Regulators and the public have come to accept toxicity as part of life.
It isn’t.
