Convenience Comes at Significant Toxic Threat to You and Your Family

Microwaves heat food by causing water molecules in it to resonate at very high frequencies and eventually turn to steam which heats your food. While this can rapidly heat your food, what most people fail to realize is that it also causes a change in your food’s chemical structure.

There are numerous issues that have emerged since microwave ovens were first introduced to consumers more than 40 years ago, besides depleting your food’s nutritional value, which will be addressed a bit later.

The first thing you probably noticed when you began microwaving food was how uneven the heating is.

“Hot spots” in microwaved food can be hot enough to cause burns—or build up to a “steam explosion.” This has resulted in admonitions to new mothers about NOT using the microwave to heat up baby bottles, since babies have been burned by super-heated formula that went undetected.

Another problem with microwave ovens is that carcinogenic toxins can leach out of your plastic and paper containers/covers, and into your food.

The January/February 1990 issue of Nutrition Action Newsletter reported the leakage of numerous toxic chemicals from the packaging of common microwavable foods, including pizzas, chips and popcorn. Chemicals included polyethylene terpthalate (PET), benzene, toluene, and xylene. Microwaving fatty foods in plastic containers leads to the release of dioxins (known carcinogens) and other toxins into your food. [8] [2]

One of the worst contaminants is BPA, or bisphenol A, an estrogen-like compound used widely in plastic products. In fact, dishes made specifically for the microwave often contain BPA, but many other plastic products contain it as well.

Microwaving distorts and deforms the molecules of whatever food or other substance you subject to it. An example of this is blood products.

Blood is normally warmed before being transfused into a person. Now we know that microwaving blood products damages the blood components. In fact, one woman died after receiving a transfusion of microwaved blood in 1991 , which resulted in a well-publicized lawsuit.

A Holistic Approach to Treating the Symptoms of Diverticulitis

By: Frank Mangano

(NaturalNews) There is often confusion surrounding the difference between two conditions known as diverticulosis and diverticulitis. I'm going to explain the difference and reveal how to treat the symptoms of diverticulitis naturally.

Diverticula are small, pea-sized, bulging pouches in the digestive tract. While diverticula can form anywhere, most occur in your large intestine and are many times found in people that experience frequent constipation.

Having diverticula in the intestines is known as diverticulosis. This condition is many times unrecognized by the person affected because diverticulosis seldom causes any problems. Every once in a while however, diverticula can become infected or inflamed. This condition is called diverticulitis.

FDA Targets Harvard Doctor

The assault by the FDA on your supplements has turned into an all out war.

In a letter from both the FDA and FTC, Dr. Andrew Weil was threatened with criminal prosecution.

I’m not making this stuff up. Look at what the letter actually said:

“If your firm fails to take corrective action immediately, FDA may take enforcement action, such as seizure or injunction for violations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act without further notice.”

What did Dr. Weil do to risk “possible criminal prosecution for violations of the FFDC Act”?

He made true statements about his immune-boosting formula containing Astragalus.

On his website, he said “During the flu season, I suggest taking a daily antioxidant, multi-vitamin-mineral supplement, as well as astragalus, a well-known immune-boosting herb that can help ward off colds and flu.”

How does something like this happen? How can the FDA interpret this as a violation warranting “criminal prosecution”?

Because the FDA has a strong and direct conflict of interest.

They make money from drug companies.

In 1992, Congress passed the landmark Prescription Drug User Fee Act, effectively putting the FDA on the pharmaceutical industry’s payroll.

To speed up the approval of drugs, the law authorized drug companies to pay user fees to the FDA, making it dependent on the very industry it regulates.

Today, industry-paid FDA employees constitute more than half of the agency’s staff involved in approving drugs.

Since the law was enacted, 13 prescription drugs causing hundreds of deaths have had to be withdrawn from the market.1

This war is nothing more than a censorship racket designed to protect big pharma and big government profits.

So, just how dangerous are supplements and natural remedies that has the FDA declaring war on your right to purchase natural alternatives?

You’re not going to believe this one.

There was not one death caused by dietary supplements in 2008. Not one.

A recent report in the journal Clinical Toxicology shows that there was not one death caused by any vitamin including A, B, C, D, and E.2

What’s more, there wasn’t one death caused by amino acids, herbals, homeopathics, or mineral supplements.

Not a single man, woman, or child died from nutritional supplements.

Yet nearly 125,000 people die each year from FDA-approved prescription drugs. That’s twice the number of casualties we suffered during the Vietnam War.

That’s a tragedy. And it’s a war that is happening every year.

In addition, prescription drugs cause 2.2 million adverse reactions each year.3

That’s not all.

Nearly five percent of all hospital admissions – more than 1 million per year – are due to drug side effects.

What’s worse, the FDA and corporate America have a history of suppressing safe alternatives that work. CoQ10 is a good example of this.

Back in 1990, Merck knew that statins deplete CoQ10. They knew that this could contribute to heart disease. In that year, Merck was granted a patent by the FDA for Mevacor and other statin drugs containing CoQ10.

These statin drugs with CoQ10 help prevent congestive heart failure.

However, Merck has not brought these drugs to market. Nor have they educated physicians on the importance of supplementing CoQ10 to offset the dangers of these drugs.

They patented it and let it sit there simply to keep it off the market.

But because they hold the patent, other drug companies are prevented from coming out with a statin/CoQ10 product that could save lives.

The bottom line here is that you need to stay informed and not be misled by those who don’t have your best health interests at heart.

The good news is you’re already being proactive by reading this e-letter.

You can also tell your congressman about your views on restricting your access to natural supplements. The Alliance for Natural Health is a nonprofit organization that makes it easy for you. They have letters already written, which you just sign and send straight to your congressman via the Internet. You can check out their latest campaigns and action alerts here.

Cold Care Remedy

I recently had a pretty nasty cold and was waking up feeling miserable and very tired. I decided to make a concoction with some ingredients that I have in my kitchen. I soon found relief and within a few days my cold was gone. Here is my recipe:

16 ounces distilled water
1 Tbsp Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
1-2 Tbsp Natural Honey
A quarter of an organic lemon
and for added sweetness you can add about 5-7 drops of liquid Stevia

Use hot water and add all of your ingredients. You can either juice the lemon and use about 1 tbsp or do what I do and just peel the outer layer, like you would a potato, leaving some of the pulp on it and put it in your cup, being sure to squeeze the juice first. It's very delicious. Not only does this drink provides relief from a cold but it will also help your body to heal and recover a lot faster. I noticed that on the mornings I drank it I had an amazing amount of energy through out the day and felt real good.

To your health,

Eleny
