IAB Offers No Cost Health BenefitsWritten by Darrell C. Porter
The Health Care Industry is in a state of crisis. It's in news everyday! Health Insurance rates are rising by 10 - 15% each year and in some cases more. These increases are causing many companies to reduce benefits for their employees, or in some cases drop all Health Care Benefits. It is estimated that there are 45 million people in America without health insurance and over 75 million are underinsured. In fact 3/4 of all small businesses offer no health insurance at all. It has been a problem with no end in site, UNTIL NOW. International Association of Benefits is a non profit association located in Washington, DC, directly across from White House. In addition to all of its other Association Benefits, IAB offers superior health care savings benefits to attack #1 need in America, access to affordable Health Care. How Does IAB Work? IAB is a non profit association located in Washington DC, across from White House, at 1747 Pennsylvania Ave. This 22 year old association offers guaranteed health care savings and insured benefits through over 1 million providers across U.S. Because IAB is not insurance everyone is accepted regardless of pre existing condition. No medical questions are asked; and all ages are accepted. Benefits are provided in additional to any other medical coverage members may have. Individuals and their entire immediate family can join for one flat, low monthly rate. Once enrolled their rates are guaranteed never to go up. IAB membership provides a healthy discount of 30% to 90% off medical, dental, vision, hearing, prescription and chiropractic care. For uninsured or under insured this often makes a world of difference in their ability to receive needed medical care. Members can go to any doctor or hospital they choose. However, if they go to one of our one million nationwide Network providers their savings can be as much as 90%, while some services are even free, such as teeth cleanings, initial chiropractic consultation and certain legal services.

| | True Culprits of High Cholesterol - Homogenized Milk and Tap WaterWritten by Deb Bromley
What if I told you tap water and homogenized milk may be two of biggest culprits in skyrocketing rates of high cholesterol? Cholesterol is actually being produced by our own bodies all of time as a natural mechanism to combat oxidation when our bodies are diseased. Therefore, if we are not well, our cholesterol levels are likely to be higher regardless of what we eat that contains cholesterol. Having too low of a cholesterol level is just as bad as having too high.Avoiding eggs and other foods that naturally contain cholesterol may not be best solution, nor taking cholesterol-lowering drugs with their plethora of harmful side effects. For example, eggs are actually extremely healthy in moderation, being that they contain nutrients present at beginning of life. Fatty meats are often harmful simply because fats store toxins, and animals not raised naturally have often been injected with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, and graze on grounds containing pesticides and fertilizer residue. Two of most harmful, and most common, everyday products we are ingesting that contribute to high cholesterol, and thus plaque in arteries, are homogenized milk and chemically-treated tap water. The explanation is far more complicated than I will cover here, but basically homogenizing milk involves breaking down of fat particles to such a small size that milk looks nice and smooth with no chunks of cream, but these smaller fat particles can permeate intestines and end up in your blood stream. On other hand, fresh unhomogenized milk from farm, assuming cows have not been exposed to chemicals, with its cream floating to top, is natural and not a harmful form of fat. The larger fat molecules pass through digestive system and nutrients are properly absorbed without fat entering bloodstream. This cream, of course, can also be skimmed off top of milk and used for other purposes. Studies have shown that many of chemicals present in tap water that were added to kill bacteria, such as chlorine, often react with and oxidize cholesterol already in body, forming a gummy substance (plaque) that actually sticks to, and clogs, arteries. And there are many more dangerous side effects of drinking chemically-treated water. What can you do about it? If you want to lower your cholesterol, which is not an easy task once your body is not functioning properly regardless how much cholesterol you eliminate in your diet, first eliminate homogenized milk and stop drinking and cooking with tap water whenever possible. If you can't always get unhomogenized milk, such as from a health store or organic farm, then fat-free regular organic milk is next best choice so you're not getting chemicals nor as much cholesterol. If you can afford it, put a good filter in your bathtub or shower and/or install a whole-house distillation system, as even bathing in chemically treated water is harmful because it absorbs through your pores, and chemicals in steam are inhaled.
