Fluoride: Why is it in our water?

We are told that fluoride is added to our water supply to promote healthy teeth and to prevent cavities in children.  But is that really true?  Who performed the research studies?  When were these studies conducted?  And who decides that it is imperative to the health of the population that we be mass medicated without our consent?

First and foremost, what is fluoride?  Fluoride is the salt from fluorine gas combined with a metal ion  (aluminum).  Fluorine is a halogen gas and is toxic.  With this clean cut definition one can already come to the conclusion that fluoride does not appear to be a safe element to ingest.  Fluoride does occur naturally in nature and there are parts of the world were fluoride levels in the water are naturally high, such as: India, China and parts of Africa.  In these countries steps are taken to remove fluoride from the drinking water as they recognize the health threats it causes, namely Fluorosis, which is fluoride toxicity in teeth and bones causing weak, graying and porous teeth and bones.

The Wonderfully Fabulous Healing Coconut!

Coconut oil has gotten a bad rap.  We often hear that it is "too high in saturated fat" and causes health problems.  Those who say these horrible things about the wonderful coconut couldn't be more wrong.  The saturated fat in coconut is very different for the saturated fat we are told about causing heart disease and other conditions.  All fats are made up of fatty acids and linked together in a "chain".  They can be either Short Chain Fatty Acids, Meduim Chain Fatty Acids, or Long Chain Fatty Acids.  The saturated fats found in things like meats and dairy are the dangerous Long Chain Fatty Acids that cause disease such as atherosclerosis and heart disease.  Medium Chain Fatty Acids do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and help to protect against heart disease.  It is primarily due to the MCFA in coconut oil that make it so beneficial.  All the components of coconuts from the meat to the oil to the water are wonderfully fabulous and healing!

Chemicals and Your Food

It is important to wash your fruits and vegetables with more than just water.  Water may wash away any dirt visible on the produce, but it does not kill any of the microorganisms on the food and it doesn't get off any residue from chemicals, pesticides and herbicides that may have been sprayed on the food.  Even if you are eating all organic produce there can be some chemicals on the produce that have drifted from other non-orgainc fields.  I do recommend eating as many foods organical as possible as even the best quality produce wash is not going to be able to remove the harmful chemicals that are ingrained into the food when it is just a small seed.  Organically grown means foods grown without pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals, they are not genetically modified either; basically organic is food that is just food- the way nature intended.  Organically grown foods also have a much higher nutrient content than commerically grown foods.  It has also been shown on many occasions that highly sensitive and "hyper" or "ADHD" children respond very well to a completely organic diet.  After all,  we are part of nature and things like chemicals are unnatural and are not easily recognized in our bodies, making it harder for our bodies to process and eliminate them.

One for the ladies...

Vaginal yeast infections are a real problem.  Some women get them regularly, some every once in a while- like when they sit in their wet swim suit on the hottest days of the year at the lake all weekend.  Either way a vaginal yeast infection means more than annoying irritation down below, it means the body is not in balance.
