Fluoride: How A Toxic Poison Ended Up In Our Water Supply
In 1945 local water treatment facilities began to add sodium fluoride, an industrial waste byproduct, to our water supply.
Ever wondered why?
Freakonomics vs. Cancer Treatment.
And the winner is…
Economist Steven Levitt and writer Stephen Dubner are two awesome dudes who teamed up to write two of my favorite books in the last few years. They use research and statistical analysis to solve some of the most complex riddles of modern life. Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover that they spent some time studying the cancer treatment industry. The question they address in SuperFreakonomics is this: “Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it’s so ineffective?”
Sea Salt vs.Table Salt. Does It Really Matter?
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.
The Top 12 Dirtiest Fruits and Vegetables
Unless you’ve been living in a cave or perhaps Cuba, you’ve probably heard that buying organic produce is better.
The most important reason to buy organic is to avoid exposure to the toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers used to grow commercial produce these days.
The pesticides they put on our food have been linked to some serious health problems like Cancer, Birth Defects, Parkinson’s, Asthma, Autism, ADHD, and more.

Be a weekday vegetarian.
This 4 minute video is excellent and neatly summarizes my post-cancer diet. Watch it!
Sleep With Me: How Much Do You Really Need?
We’ve all heard that most people need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need much more, like 9-10. Not getting enough sleep night after night leads to a “sleep deficit” that keeps growing. And with that sleep deficit comes a gradual degradation of your health. A major key to health is figuring out how much sleep you need, then getting it.
The Fast Lane to Health: How to Detox
If you’re eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you’re putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.
I Juiced to Beat Cancer and Turned Orange!
The Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute recommend you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day, but 10 servings per day is optimal. Let’s face it, that’s tough to do! Most folks I know don’t even average 1 serving per day.
Our bodies are starving for nutrients and juicing is the best way to extract massive amounts of nutrients from vegetables; without having to sit down and eat several pounds of vegetables per day. Knowing what to juice and what not to juice is critical.
