Health news Message from Bernadette Wulf

Greetings!
Have you heard? Cantaloupes can kill. It's all over the news, but the news stories are not reporting WHY our cantaloupes have become so deadly. Nor did they report why spinach was contaminated with an E. coli super-bug not so long ago. What is happening to our farms that is causing fresh produce to become so dangerous?

The causes are multiple, but the main problems are feedlots and antibiotics. Antibiotics create "super-bugs" in farm animals (and humans), those super-bugs are passed into their manure, and feedlots concentrate manure runoff in the water supply that ends up on produce farms. Ultimately, it always comes down to money, but let's bypass that issue and just look at solutions. How can we protect our food supply?

Are you eating meat, eggs, or dairy products from animals raised on high-density factory farms? If so, you are part of the problem. The high density that allows farms to produce cheaper animal products necessitates the use of antibiotics, because animals cannot live in such artificial conditions without getting sick. Grains are not a natural food for cattle. Feedlots, by definition, destroy the health of cattle by feeding grains to make the meat more appealing to humans, but that appealing meat is actually the byproduct of a sick animal that is kept alive with antibiotics until ready for slaughter. Does that sound appealing to you?

This is a huge subject and a huge problem. I hope the recent incidents with cantaloupes will inspire more and more people to think about it and change their buying habits. If we don't buy it, they will stop producing it. We certainly don't need it. Most people eat far more animal products than their bodies can handle, which leads to degenerative diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

Factory farmed animal products may be a lot cheaper, but they are endangering our entire food supply. Factory farms also subject countless animals to lives of misery and disease. Is that really where you want to get your food? Think about it next time you are at the grocery store.

On a happier note, we have some good news about drill-free dentistry, advice on healing bunions, the amazing benefits of eating diatomaceous earth, skin brush detoxification, the latest research on healing diabetes, the hidden value of eye exams, an interesting podcast on super-foods you might want to add to your diet, and some good advice for vegans.

The frost is not on the pumpkin yet, but I've been seeing lots of pumpkins lately. Happy autumn!

To Your Health!

drill free dentistry No More Dental Drills? Sounds Good To Me!
-
Here is something to smile about! From healthiertalk.com - "Doctors at Britain’s University of Leeds may have just made the [dental] drill obsolete. Their breakthrough actually helps teeth reverse decay and repair themselves. And their discovery may not only save you from pain… it could save you thousands of dollars in dental bills, too."

This is a pretty fascinating article about how peptides can be used to heal tooth decay. What a great idea.

healing bunions Natural Ways To Treat Bunions:
-
I found this article interesting, because I rarely see anything published about bunions, and it has a great graphic image showing how a bunion forms. It won't win any awards for writing style, but the information may be of value to someone out there who is plagued with this painful condition.

From bewellbuzz.com: "A bunion is a disfiguration that usually occurs at the bottom area of the big toe leading to inflammation, pain, discomfort in walking, and swelling. The major causes of a bunion formation are ill fitted footwear, injuries and sometimes the cause may also be genetic. Sometimes, a bunion is also an underlying symptom of rheumatism or arthritis. In extreme cases the doctors may recommend a surgery, however, you can try some natural ways to treat bunions first like using herbal remedies or ayurvedic medicine."

The article goes on to list several natural methods for healing bunions. Let me know if you try them. I would be interested to know how well they work.

diatomaceous earth Health Benefits from Eating Diatomaceous Earth
-
Food grade diatomaceous earth is an excellent source of silica with an amazing array of health benefits. It has long been used in animal feeds to destroy internal parasites and add minerals, but it is also approved for human consumption. Silica is a mineral that can be hard to find in our modern diet, but it is important for strong bones, shiny hair, healthy skin, and strong nails. Consuming diatomaceous earth may be the easiest way to add silica to the diet.

Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. It comes as a fine powder that can be mixed with water or juice, blended into smoothies, or added to food. The only caution is that you need to avoid breathing the dust, because it can damage the lungs. And do make sure it is FOOD GRADE. The ditomaceous earth sold for swimming pools can be toxic.

Here are just a few of the benefits of food grade diatomaceous earth listed in this NaturalNews article:
- helps repair and maintain lung tissues and protects them from pollution
- lowers high blood pressure
- lowers high cholesterol
- addresses osteoporosis & joint problems
- helps to prevent kidney stones
- heals infections of the urinary tract; can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent
-promotes synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas, thus helping to normalize diabetes
-strengthens blood vessels
-stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels

That is a lot of benefit from eating an inexpensive fossil. It may be just what you need for what ails you.

skin brushing detox Detoxify Your Body with Skin Brushing
-
Here is an economical and easy way to detox your largest organ of elimination, the skin. Just massage your skin with a dry brush once a day. Bernard Jensen, one of our country's great early nutritionists did his own experiment to determine the value of skin brushing. He "bought a skin brush and stood on brown wrapping paper while he brushed his own body. After enough debris had fallen onto the paper, Jensen sent the material to a lab. The lab found a lot of dead skin, which, of course, was expected. But the lab also found dried catarrh, urea, sodium chloride, sebum and metabolic acid wastes. From his little experiment, Jensen came to understand that when these substances are not removed from the skin, they can become backed up in the muscle structure, and can consequently cause a loss of vitality. Jensen became a great advocate for daily dry-skin brushing." (Quoted from naturalnews.com)

The article goes on to say, "Skin brushing is especially useful for lymphatic cleansing. Cleansing the lymphatic system is essential because the lymph glands serve as one of the body's primary defense mechanisms. The lymphatic system cleanses out cellular debris that the bloodstream has not been able to take care of, such as viruses, bacteria and dust."

Before you step into the shower or bath, take a few minutes to brush your skin. It can become a healthy habit that can add years to your life.

magnesium for diabetes Magnesium Protects Against Diabetes
-
Diabetes is big news and it is growing bigger everyday. It has been estimated that one third of the children growing up today will develop diabetes in their lifetime! That is absolutely shocking, since most cases of type two diabetes are entirely preventable. Studies have shown that both a low-fat vegan diet and a raw, whole-foods diet can quickly eliminate type two diabetes. One thing these diets have in common is that they both tend to be high in magnesium, because they include lots of green vegetables. Now we have a study showing that magnesium itself may be a key to preventing and curing diabetes.

From trustedhealthproducts.com - "
With the US facing an obesity epidemic more attention has turned to preventative care along with controlled diets. In many cases diabetes goes hand in hand with obesity, as the body’s cells become more resistant to insulin. Diabetes is one of the most preventable diseases in existence, and new research shows that certain nutrients can have highly protective effects against it; in this case, magnesium."

importance of eye exams Predict and Prevent Serious Disease with Eye Exams
-
Did you know that your eyes can reveal a lot about your health? We all know that dark circles and bags under the eyes indicate health problems, but eyes can also reveal early signs of liver disease, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, aneurysm, syphilis, or stroke.

From trustedhealthproducts.com - "Not only are eye disorders diagnosed through regular examinations, but things like heart disease and diabetes can also be revealed by eye exams when they may take months or even years longer to develop symptoms that would show up elsewhere. The eyes are the only place on the body where bare nerves and veins can be examined without any surgical procedures."

Sounds like eye exams are not just a way to test your vision and update your glasses prescription. You can start by examining your own eyes with tips from this article.

health vegan diet How to Be a Healthy Vegan
-
Susan Schenck posted an excellent article on vegan dietary needs on the rawfor30days.com website, examining why some people do not thrive on the vegan diet. The most useful information she offers is a list called: Foods to Eat and Foods to Avoid. Her view is that most people will do better with small amounts of animal products, such as free range egg yolks, but she offers options for those who choose a vegan diet.

Even if you are not a vegan or vegetarian, you will find some really good nutritional information here. I learned a few things I hadn't heard before. Check it out.
