Authors of a new study have concluded that males with a low level of Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, are more likely to suffer a heart attack, technically known as a Myocardial Infarction (MI).

There are a variety of clinical studies showing that the death-rates attributed to cardiovascular diseases grew during winter months. Conversely, the opposite was found at lower altitudes. This background pattern was expressed in the author’s article, published in the June 9 edition of the journal, Archives of Internal Medicine.

In conjunction with a team from the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, Edward Giovannucci, M.D., Sc.D., analyzed the medical records and blood samples of 454 men, aged between 40 & 75. All of whom have suffered from fatal heart diseases or had previously suffered non-fatal heart attacks.

Did you know that when you ingest or are injected with prescription drugs, your body doesn’t necessarily use all it takes in? It’s true. Excess drugs are excreted as waste material.

That’s good news for your body since pharmaceuticals are very hard on your system in the first place. However, it’s not good news for the ecosystem, since these drug residues work their way into our waterways and municipal water processing plants.

Things you need to know about municipal water

Tap water has been unsafe for drinking for a very long time. Tap water has toxic chemicals, some known carcinogens, added to make it “safe” for drinking. Three of the poisons that can be found in faucet water are chlorine, fluoride, and arsenic, a Category 1 carcinogen (cancer causing agent).

Now, the newest acknowledgment of prescription drugs in the waterways is just one more toxin added to the already contaminated water. Prescription medications that end up in the water supply are not easily filtered.

The drugs are not present in large quantities but they are a contaminant to the body. This means, you may be ingesting them continuously over a period of years. And, we don’t yet know what will be the long-term effects of such intake.

Studies are showing that the effects are already manifesting in fish (male fish producing female egg yolk proteins). And even earthworms and zooplankton. Antibiotics for example are less and less effective as treatments for ailments in humans, due to the excessive prescribing practices. Bacteria have the ability to adapt to the antibiotics. Antibiotics in open water, gives bacteria more time to mutate.

Raw Honey is not only Tasty!

Perhaps your parents failed to mention it when they discussed the birds and the bees with you. But, honey has a long history of healing, too.

Really, it’s been used for centuries for its healing properties, as well as its sweetness. People use it to bake with. It requires you to use less heat. Its tasty flavor is one reason many people prefer it over table sugar. Besides that, honey is much sweeter than regular table sugar and better for you.

It’s best if you buy locally grown organic raw honey whenever you can. Locally grown because it’s produced by bees which are from the environment in which you live. It is always best to grow or consume foods from the area in which you live as they contain the immune stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment.

Vaccines have been in the hot seat before and have always been a hot topic for me, as I have been warning people about the negative health effects of these poisons for years. Some of the ingredients that cause concern include chicken embryos that can transmit harmful viral material, and formaldehyde which is embalming fluid. Even mercury and other heavy metals are still used.

I’m still tying to figure out why vaccines and flu shots contain spermicides – Are we trying to make everyone infertile? Well it must be working since the infertility rates have skyrocketed over the years!

Several illnesses are being tracked back to vaccinations including immune disorders, cognitive disorders, and more. And still the government isn’t ready to bite the Big Pharma hands that feeds it. Still, with the latest inclusion of the onset of autism linked to vaccines, and famous faces like Jenny McCarthy & Holly Robinson-Pete to boost the awareness, autism is getting long overdue scrutiny from mainstream science and the government.

What are Genetically Modified Foods?

It’s just as concerning as it sounds. Scientists have introduced into plants and animals, new, scientifically manipulated or chosen, genetic material, to advance and suppress traits as they see fit. The products are genetically modified foods.

From as early as the 70’s, scientists have been genetically manipulating crops. Scientists used these soil bugs along with other gene-implantation technologies, to develop numerous new types of crops.

These crops are steadily increasing in our and other countries as well. Some countries are not so completely receptive. The genetic materials are selected to promote resistance to pesticides, herbicides and insecticides; higher nutrient levels; larger produce; and tolerance to extreme weather conditions.

Many of the genetically modified foods you can find on your grocers’ shelves, today, because they don’t have to be labeled in the United States. These include: cottonseed oil, soybeans, cocoa beans, canola and corn. Scientists have even created plants that produce plastics and pharmaceutical compounds, not for human consumption. Feed grade corn is approved only for livestock food.

What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder that generally impairs the sufferer’s speech and motor skills. Parkinson’s Disease is characterized by tremors and muscular rigidity. At this point, there is still alot to learn about the symptoms and effects of Parkinson’s Disease, but recently, a new study concluded with interesting results.

How Do You Contract Parkinson’s Disease?

There are many forms of Parkinson’s Disease that appear to be idiopathic, meaning doctors aren’t sure of the causes. Some cases, though, are linked to drug toxicity, medical disorders, or head trauma. The newest observation that the medical scientists are now exploring is the possible link between pesticides and Parkinson’s Disease.

According to new research into the causes of Parkinson’s Disease, two specific insecticide classes were cited as significantly associated: organochlorines and organophosphorus compounds. While the research isn’t exhaustive or definitive by any measure, the results compiled thus far are enough to warrant a much closer study by the medical community.

As a child I was pretty much raised on junk food, milk, soda and everything else a northern family cooks. My mom was from Madison, Wisconsin (cheesehead) and my dad was from Syracuse, New York. My dad had his PhD in Chemistry, was a top level chemist for Exxon, and was the co-developer of PVC and the developer of Saran Wrap. He also worked closely with President Reagan on top secret projects. My mom was a housewife and took care of me and my younger brother. Growing up, we always had fun. I was always outside and involved in sports, especially soccer which one year I was awarded the Most Valuable Player in the state of Texas. I was blessed to have a brother 1 year younger than I, to play with and keep me company. During my childhood I always remember having a close connection with animals and I actually wanted to be a veterinarian at one point. We had a very loving family and I have no regrets about the way I grew up.

My brother and I spent most of our education in private Christian schools that used to paddle us if we did or said something wrong until we entered the public high school system. I was always so bored with school, I always felt they were teaching me things I did not need to know, and the things I thought should be taught were no where to be found (or being suppressed from public knowledge).
