So last week I stumbled across another documentary about water fluoridation that came out in late 2012. It's a really great compilation of interviews with experts on the subject. The only downside is that it's almost 3 hours long. But since it's just interviews and no important visuals, if you don't want to sit down and watch it, you can just press play and listen to it while you are doing something else, yard work, cleaning house, exercising... I pulled it up on my iphone and listened to it on a three hour drive to Nashville a few days ago.

Everything you ever wanted to know (and some things you didn't) about radiation. From x-rays to radiotherapy, to superheroes, to airport scanners, all in one nifty little blog post.

My name is Linda, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June of 2010 at age 47. I had the surgery and unfortunately I did the chemo. A few months into the chemo I started reading books and changed a lot of things. I finished all but one treatment - I did stop early though because of the things I had learned while reading and researching. I changed my diet to completely vegan, with juicing, I started doing the flax oil and cottage cheese (Budwig Protocol), drinking Essiac Tea, and began seeing a naturopathic doctor who also has medical doctors at his clinic who deal with cancer, and changed my supplements to the best I could buy. But the thing that I think saved my life was having all of my root canals removed...

Is there anyone in the world that doesn't love to take long, hot, steamy showers? No. There is not. Which is why this is going to bum you out: Taking long hot showers exposes you to more toxic chemicals than actually drinking 2 liters of the same water! This is because toxins evaporate out of the water into steam and are inhaled directly into your lungs. They are also absorbed through your skin. Chlorine alone has been linked to allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, heart disease, strokes, cancer, and even premature aging of your skin. The Showerwise Shower Filter  removes 95% of chlorine as well as iron, lead, mercury, hydrogen sulfide, etc. It also inhibits bacterial, fungal and mildew growth. I never thought my shower steam had an "odor" until I installed our Showerwise filter.  I noticed right away that the smell of the shower steam was different. In fact there was no smell at all. The chlorine odor (and who knows what else) was gone.  It comes with a massaging shower head and the filter lasts up to18 months. More about the Showerwise Shower Filter here (((c)))

Vaccinations have been a controversial topic in the natural health world for a long time and they've recently been under a lot of mainstream scrutiny as well. Vaccinating children every year is a billion dollar annual business for the pharmaceutical companies. Do they really help or do they do more harm than good? Here's what we did with our kids...

I never gave much thought to the health effects of living in a modernized society until I was diagnosed with cancer. That's when I began to take a second look at everything. Cancer has increased dramatically in our modern industrial age. So every aspect of our modern age became suspect, including electricity. When I started researching the effects that our modern electrically-powered world can have on our health, I discovered electropollution.

Perhaps you've heard the dietary health advice "Eat less red meat and more fish". In a perfect world this is good advice, but in the real world there is a very important factor that is often ignored. You should take the same approach to the food you eat as you do to the advice you're given...Consider the source. Farm-raised fish is promoted like it's a good thing. But when you take a closer look, farm-raised fish makes about as much sense as ocean-caught beef.

You've probably heard that a diet high in sodium is unhealthy because it is a risk factor for Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease. Processed foods have very high levels of salt, and a diet high in salt actually leads to salt dependence by your body. This is why you crave salty foods; just like a smoker craves the nicotine in a cigarette.

In case you hadn't noticed, the dairy industry is spending millions of dollars every year to convince you that you need to drink milk, like superman here. Since 1993 they've paid hundreds of celebrities to pose with a milk mustache for the "Got Milk?" ads. But in recent years conventional wisdom about milk has been turned udders up, and a different kind of milk is making a big comeback.

We all know the arguments that being vegetarian is better for your health, the environment, and animals - - but in a carnivorous culture it can be hard to make the change. Graham Hill has a powerful pragmatic suggestion. Be a weekday vegetarian. This 4 minute video is excellent and neatly summarizes my post-cancer diet. Watch it!
