Health AwarenessMarilyn Vine brings information on health awareness – some great information – and some not so great – but all quality information to enable YOU to keep your health at an appropriate level. After this page is posted when I receive any new information it will be posted directly under the bookmark. Although this page has a great deal of content and I may have to start a fresh page when new information comes to hand.
This is disgraceful!BPA or Bisphenol A – I am just an ordinary housewife who does a great deal of reading and learning with regard to health and I have been reading about the harm of BPA for years! Why does Food Standards Australia New Zealand need the FDA in America to tell it what is right or wrong – safe or harmful? Don’t they have a mind of their own and their own research facilities? If a housewife knows that if you put your babies milk into a bottle containing BPA that it is safe UNTIL you heat the milk! Then the phthalates leach into the baby’s milk and they are carcinogenic! It is the same with all the bottles containing water that people cart around with them – fine until such time as the bottle is in the sun and then the same thing occurs. Not only that but people are inclined to reuse these bottles again and again and the more times they are used the more harmful they become! Please take the time to read this article and also take the time when talking with upcoming candidates for the Federal Elections how you feel about this situation.BPA in Baby Bottles Information Suppressed One day up and running and here is the first news item in Health Awareness. NaturalNews advises on 30 June 2010 about baking soda or bicarbonate of soda. I have other testimonials with regard to the use of bicarbonate soda and blackstrap molasses turning around a man’s prostate and bone cancer within a matter of days! Read the link below: Information on the benefits of drinking teaHealth Awareness brings you information with regard to drinking three or more cups of tea a day could be beneficial for you.Below will be a link to a report by Dr Mercola on this subject. Please be aware that he is saying not to use pasteurized milk in your tea and also to avoid drinking tea that contains fluoride. Many of you will not be aware that tea contains fluoride but it is one of many foods that do.

This is one of many articles I keep reading about the dangers of having mammograms for breast cancer. Click on the link below and read the article for yourself and then make your own decision in this regard. Personally I have not had one for the past ten years and don’t intend to have another one.Radiation causes breast cancer Lung Cancer – How would you like to lower your risk by up to 50%?Health Awareness is delighted to bring you an article from NaturalNews dated 29 June 2010 with regard to how Vitamin B6 and Methionine may slash your risk of getting lung cancer by 50%.Lung Cancer – Slash the Risk by 50% Once again the World Health Organisation (WHO) Up to their Old Tricks!Health Awareness brings you an article from NaturalNews dated 24 June 2010 where WHO is pushing hard to impose consumer global taxes to help pay for its various schemes. This proposal includes taxing your ability to do banking transactions like paying your bills on line, taxing your internet and what is all this money going to be used for! To help fund Pharmaceutical Companies to push more of their dangerous drugs and vaccines on the poor people of third world countries. Make sure you read the full article so that when you see bits and pieces begin to appear in your country’s press then you will know what it is all about and can protest with regard to it. The United Nations has no right to impose mandatory taxes on any country in the world! That is not their role!Of major concern to me is the fact that they are putting themselves forward as being the World’s authority on Health and trying to implement a scheme whereby each individual government cedes its authority to WHO to implement health schemes for everyone in the world! If they were an ethical body and actually acted in the best interests of the health of the people of the world it would be a different story but their actions to date including the corruption that has been uncovered in the Swine Flu Pandemic leaves a lot to be desired with this organisation. Is this a sign of the times?Marilyn received a report from source unknown by Ben Packham on 18 June 2010 and felt it was worth including on Health Awareness Page. This report was about the fitness of Australian troops for combat duty. It was found that:
If our soldiers, who we always consider to be in the peak of fitness, are exhibiting these sort of health issues – then what hope is there for the rest of the Nation? Read the article! Mercury Dental FillingsHealth Awareness Page brings you up to date information on what the FDA and the American Dental Association are not telling you. Why did the FDA reverse its finding of 2008 in relation to the safety of using mercury amalgam fillings in 2009? Read Mike Adam’s report of 16 June 2010.Mercury Dental Fillings International Gun LawsHealth Awareness page brings you information that I would not normally pass on. However, on reading the “poem” from an unknown source and then reading the statistics of various countries of the world which occurred soon after guns were abolished in their country, I decided that this article had some merit to it.I have never been an advocate of people owning guns nor in all honesty ever been interested in the issue of whether or not people should have this right! However, after reading this article I have changed my mind! Click on the link and read and maybe it will change your mind as well. Australia brought in gun laws a few years ago and it makes one wonder what is in store for us! MSG - Flavour Enhancers Plus More!Health Awareness urges everyone to read this document.

Baby DNA being stored in Military DatabasesNatural News advises: “A civil rights lawyer is threatening to sue the Texas Department of State Health Services for secretly handing over genetic data on 800 newborns to the U.S. military for a law enforcement database.” Read the full story.Baby DNA being stored in Military Databases Some Really Good NewsSince 2000 when I first met Phillip Day I have been endeavouring to do what he asked of us all i.e. pass the message onto other people so that they can make informed decisions! To read about Phillip Day click on this link.Credence Health Awareness is delighted to bring you information dated 29 June 2010 Phillip took the time out to write an article on this very subject. Before reading the links on eating meat and drinking milk below I would urge you to read Phillip’s comments. There is some good news contained in this information advising of a link which will give us access to many good health sites in one place which will be tremendous. People Helping People In the above article Phillip refers to a recent article on 27 June 2010 by Mike Adams from NaturalNews with regard to ending nutritional illiteracy amongst doctors and the like. Most people accept the old sayings like:
Well guess what! Today that maxim of “you are what you eat” is probably truer than when it was first coined! An apple a day would have been because of the antioxidant benefit contained in apples, but unfortunately today apples, like so many of our foods, can be nutritionally deficient and contain many pesticides and chemicals from their farming. This doesn’t even take into account what they dip the apple in before it leaves the farm! How do I know this? Well the apples are always so nice and shiny. I try to pick ones that aren’t but that is an impossible task. When I come home I soak every bit of fruit and vegetable that I buy in water with Hydrogen Peroxide (food quality) added to the water to help leach out pesticides and toxins. When I remove the apples from the soaking they often have a white residue on the skin which I can’t seem to remove. This is a wax coating to make the apples look good, but the other effect of this coating is that I can’t get the pesticides and toxins out of the apples because I can’t get past this protective coating! A long while ago I was alerted to the fact that the hollow at the top of an apple and even a tomato is the most toxic area of the fruit. Why? Because the pesticides sit in this hollow and therefore the high concentration. I was advised to cut the top off the apple and to always peel them to help reduce the amount of toxins I was ingesting. It was good advice. Take the time and read Mike’s report and then read on to see what Phillip has to say about meat and milk. Meat Eating – Associated ProblemsHealth Awareness page brings you information on meat eating. I have been following Phillip Day of Campaign for Truth in Medicine since 2000 and have attended many of his lectures when he has been here in Australia. His presentations are always so interesting and full of such wonderful advice on how we can keep ourselves healthy. Read his latest article on eating meat.Meat Eating – Associated Risks This is a further article from Phillip Day on milk. White Lies and Porky PiesOver the years I have tried to alert many people to the dangers of drinking milk and they just look at me askance as much as to say “have you lost your marbles?” Well I haven’t and Phillip has written a very good article on this very subject. This is one of the reasons why I spend time putting together pages like Health Awareness. Please take the time to read as it is important for you as adults but even more important for your babies and young children.White Lies and Porky Pies Manufacturers of Consumer ProductsUnfortunately, world-wide governments fall by the wayside in protecting their citizen’s health and wellbeing!Now activists in the United States have filed a lawsuit to compel consumer product manufacturers to disclose the ingredients of household products. This action is long overdue and should have been forced by government and not being left to individuals to do it for them! Household cleaning products are particularly lethal and unless you have been going down the “well-being” track and looking after your own health and in particular being aware of ingredients and their consequences – then this information will be new to you. Did you know that there are ingredients in dishwashing detergents that are perfectly safe as long as you wash up in cold water! Now let’s fact facts! How many of you wash up in cold water? No one as far as I am aware of! Okay so what is the problem with washing up in hot water? Some of the ingredients in dishwashing detergent when hot water is applied “out gas”. What do I mean by this? Well when the hot water reaches the detergent the ingredients give off a toxin. Now stop and think for a minute. Where is your head and your nose when you are washing up? Why they are right over the top of your kitchen sink! So what does this mean to you personally? Well you inhale the fumes directly through your nose and they go straight up your olfactory system and directly into your brain! A bit horrifying when you stop and think about it! Now Mike Adams from NaturalNews advises on 22 June 2010 that a lawsuit is being filed to compel the manufacturers to disclose the ingredients. I would like to personally thank these individuals for having the courage of their convictions to force governments to take action and protect the people. The good news is for Australians is that if the lawsuit succeeds in the United States then we are likely to see changes here as our government seems to follow very closely behind whatever the United States does albeit good or bad! When you have clicked on this article may I suggest that you click on the article below which covers Triclosan and its adverse side effects. Triclosan and your ThyroidHealth Awareness brings you information on one such chemical.On 9 April 2010 Byron Richards from CNN has reported that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is finally investigating the ingredient triclosan. What is triclosan you might ask? Well it is one of many ingredients that manufacturers use to help kill germs in our household environment. So what is it doing to your thyroid health? Click on the link below and find out. WD 40 – What do you know about it?Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?I had a neighbour who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbour came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew? Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Read the article and learn about all the wonderful things it can do! I would love to hear from my readers of my pages like Health Awareness with comments from them as to:
