Health Awareness

Marilyn 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.

Adya Clarity
HEALTH WARNING

30 October 2011 a health warning was received from Mike Adams, Editor of NaturalNews with regards to the new “health fad” Adya Clarity. Apparently it contains very high levels of aluminium and lead. For your own safety sake please take the time and read the article.

Going Back to Basics

Health Awareness Page brings you a link below to enable you to have the freedom to choose your own maintenance of your personal health. I have pleasure in bringing you information from NaturalNews dated 17 September 2011 written by Marc Sircus, AC, OMD with regards embracing simpler methods of keeping us healthy.

My husband and I already use magnesium chloride and have done for many years. We have also included Lugol’s Iodine quite some time ago. We also use bicarbonate of soda in baths along with Himalayan Salt (our preference) or Epsom’s salt to help with detoxification of the body. Several years ago my husband became ill with an auto immune disease and he was bathing at that time in just Epsom’s Salt for 20 minutes with as much of his body immersed as possible. I was stunned to find that he turned the bathwater green and this happened from memory for about 3 weeks before it stopped. Incidentally with our following allopathic avenues, homeopathy and now using extensive amounts of Young Living Essential Oils nutritionals and essential oils he has retrieved his health although he still has the marker of his illness in his blood tests.

Please take the time to read Marc’s suggestions. However, you will need to search for good sources of bicarbonate of soda as the products sold in the supermarkets contain additives which are undesirable if you are using this for health purposes. The first link will take you to Marc’s article and the 2nd to information on the nutritionals and oils we are using.

Your freedom to choose your own maintenance of your personal health in jeopardy!

Health Awareness page brings you a YouTube below from Dr Mercola and then click on the link below the YouTube and read what he has to say on 13 September 2011. Now is the time to act and contact your local representatives. You will hear Dr Mercola advise not to email as it is too easy to delete emails without reading them. He suggests:

  • Ringing their office
  • Faxing their office
  • Sending a hard copy letter to their office
  • Always keep a record of who you spoke to, when you faxed and a hard copy of the letter posted
If people do not act and rise up against the measures the FDA are proposing to take not only will it affect US Citizens but it will affect every other country in the world who imports their supplements from America. Only the supplements made in other parts of the world will be free from this tyranny and then the US Government may just go ahead and ban their import into America anyway!




FDA Tyranny

More FDA Information
Prevent Disease advise that the FDA are “negotiating” with the pharmaceutical companies to raise more revenue!

Health Awareness page brings information dated 13 September 2011 from Prevent Disease in regards to the funding that the FDA receives from pharmaceutical companies. How can a government agency being funded by pharmaceutical companies remain unbiased and look after the health interests of the US Citizens properly? See what is going on now.

Most of us know the dangers of MSG
BUT!!!!

Health Awareness o 13 September 2011 brings information from NaturalNews on a labeling law loophole that permits manufacturers in getting away with having a form of MSG included in their products without you know!
Yeast extract is hidden source of MSG

US Government
Pharmaceutical Companies
Experiments on Humans!

Health Awareness page without going into too much details gives you the opening paragraph from a NaturalNewsletter dated 1 September 2011 for you to read what has been going on and is continuing to go on! The first link will take you to this article. This article reminds me of a program I saw on TV here in Australia in the 1990s where the news broke that around the time of the 2nd world war doctors were injection pregnant with radiation to see what would happen to them. I listened to a mother tell her heartrending story of her six year old daughter who developed cancer from the tips of her toes to the top of her head and died an absolutely agonizing death! The woman scientist aged 76 being interviewed was totally unrepentant for her part in the experiments! I don’t know which upset me the most – the agony the child suffered or the arrogance and the insignificance that this scientist placed on human life!

The second link will give you the results of intensive research into the Institute of Medicine. The very government body that the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rely on to make their “informed” decisions! In my eyes, this institution has no credibility whatsoever!

Good news for Australian children

On 5 August 2011 we are advised that a new study is to be undertaken with regards to the connection of household chemicals and our massive increase in children’s diseases such as ADHD and asthma.

This study is only looking at chemicals and pesticides that are being used and Professor Peter Sly, who is undertaking the study, feels that we can’t take the chemicals out of the soil, etc. Perhaps we should be giving this aspect a higher priority to actually remove the root cause which will still be in existence even if they stop further damage from occurring.

It does not appear as though he will be investigating the harm that fluoridated water is causing our unborn fetus, children and other people, especially our elderly with their hip and knee replacements, and including the environment. Select the second link to learn more about this harm including the fact that when fluoridated water substances are added to our water that they contain cadmium, mercury, arsenic and lead as well as the fluoride compound. Lead has been implicated in many studies of behavioral problems with children.

High Fructose Corn Syrup and Mercury

Once again Health Awareness page brings warnings on the ingredients in our food. Who would expect your high fructose corn syrup to be contaminated with mercury!!! NaturalNews brings an article on this very subject dated 10 July 2011. The information contained in Mike’s article is very important and could save your life or at least improve your health if you stop using this ingredient.

Drink more milk!
Suffer the consequences!

Health Awareness brings information from Prevent Disease dated 8 July 2011 with regards to how our milk can contain a cocktail of up to 20:

  • painkillers
  • antibiotics
  • growth hormones, etc
and this does not even take into account the harm that is caused to milk once it has been pasteurized! Raw milk is a different story even though the so called “health authorities” would like you to believe otherwise.

Read this article and find out what scientists have discovered in our everyday milk supplies.
Milk – drink more of it

Vitamins and Minerals
Your Body’s requirements

Every now and then I come across items or information that gladdens my heart and restores my faith in our fellow man. This next item that I am posting is one such article. Here we have an organisation that has gone to all the trouble to identify what different vitamin and mineral deficiencies can do to the human body. This is a chart, freely provided for everyone to use and access, to see different symptoms and to learn what they should be taking to overcome this deficiency.

Health Awareness page advises that with vitamins you may be able to get the deficient vitamins from your food if you know what foods you should be using to elevate their levels. You also need to know the quantity of each particular food required to give you sufficient to fill the need.

Now minerals are another story altogether. Dependent on where you live, i.e. which country and even different parts of the same country, the soil can either be rich in particular minerals or can even be devoid of many trace elements and minerals required by our bodies to survive. Back in 1936 the US Senate advised that America was deficient in a whole range of minerals in its soil and nothing has changed in this time to improve the situation. In fact it is probably worse now than in 1936 due to the artificial fertilisers used to so call “fertilise” our soil which in fact has actually helped in the demise of the soil!

Coca Leaves legally imported into the United States since the early 1900s

Health Awareness page brings you a very thought provoking newsletter dated 9 June 2011 about Coca Cola being the only company to legally import Coca Leaves into the United States. The original Coca Cola contained cocaine but this practice was discontinued in 1903.

From what Mike Adams has to say the cocaine residue from the extract process for Coca Cola is passed to another laboratory. I believe you should read the article to see the large quantities of cocaine that are a result of the importation for Coca Cola and judge for yourself whether this quantity is actually used for medicinal purposes or in fact where does it all go to? Seems to be an incredible quantity to be used for medicinal purposes!

Big Pharma and the massive increase in drug recalls

Health Awareness page brings you more stories on the Pharmaceutical Industry.

What is going on in the Pharmaceutical Industry that is causing more and more drug recalls?

What are our Government Agencies doing to ensure that these pharmaceutical giants are doing the right thing by their consumers or are they just allowed to go along their merry way despite detrimental effects to your health and safety?

Did you know that:

  • In 2006 there were 384 drug recalls?
  • In 2007 391
  • In 2008 426
  • in 2009 a massive increase to 1,742 – up 309 percent!

Big Pharma and the massive increase in drug recalls

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:
Bicarbonate of Soda and Cancer

Information on the benefits of drinking tea

Health 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.
Drinking Tea May be Beneficial

Once again the World Health Organization (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.
WHO up to its old tricks

Health Awareness also brings to your attention the fact that the WHO is behind the promotion of the HIV vaccination. If you care to go to the link below you can read a great deal about this vaccine and its consequences. I am posting today, 25 June 2010, a story on a 16 year old girl blinded ten days after receiving the vaccine.

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:

  • 13,000 soldiers not battle ready.
  • About 7,300 failed basic fitness.
  • More than 2,00 had poor teeth.

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 fillings

Health 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 Laws

Health 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!

Health Awareness urges everyone to read this document. I have no idea who compiled it or where it has been sourced from BUT it contains a great deal of information that could be beneficial to you, personally, in maintaining your health and the health of your family. On reading this article you may be surprised to learn the extent to which these flavor enhancers are used and the reactions that some people experience.

Eating right means you have orthorexia nervosa

Health Awareness brings you an article from Andrew Saul of Orthomolecular medicine telling us on 27 June 2010 that if you are eating right then the so called authorities labeled you as having a disorder called orthorexia nervosa.

Well guess what? I would be classified as orthorexia nervosa because I fit into all the categories listed in the article!
Why you are sick if you want to eat right

Health Awareness brings you another article from NaturalNews dated 27 June 2010.

How many parents are aware of this happening in Texas and the question is:

What is happening in other States of America and is it happening anywhere else in the World?

Some really good news

Since 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! This is one of the reasons for pages like Health Awareness. 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:

  • You are what you eat!
  • An apple a day keeps the doctor away, and so on

Well guess what! Today that maxim of “you are what you eat” is probably truer than when it was first coined!

Apples

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.
Nutritional Illiteracy Amongst Doctors Must End

Meat eating
Associated problems

Health 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 pies!

Over 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 products

Unfortunately, world-wide governments fall by the wayside in protecting their citizen’s health and wellbeing! This makes pages like Health Awareness so important so that people can realize what is going on and start doing their own research and asking questions.

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.
Chemicals in Products

Triclosan and your thyroid

Health 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.

WD40
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!
WD40

Once Again I seem to have so much information to include in Health Awareness page! It just keeps on pouring in! Sometimes I have a dilemma as to what I pass on and what I don’t! One never knows what information is going to help just one individual. I know myself that sometimes I read something and the light bulb turns on and I think to myself – so that is why that is happening! I knew something was wrong but just didn’t know what it was.

I would love to hear from my readers of my pages like Health Awareness with comments from them as to:

  • How they find the information;
  • Has the information been beneficial?
  • Would they like more information?

Please feel free to contact me in the email form below and let me know you were on the Health Awareness Page and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you for visiting my website.
