Written by Anonymous

Pau d'arco or Taheebo, as it is also called, is not all created equally. If you go down to your local health food store you will probably find numerous brands of Pau d'arco in many different forms. You’ll see Pau d’arco liquid, Pau d’arco capsules, Pau d’arco tea, etc. All of them will claim to be pure Pau d’arco. The unfortunate truth is that many of these products are not true Pau d’arco and, even worse, some are just sawdust.

If, for whatever reason, you’ve decided to pursue a course of taking Pau d’arco you need to be certain you get repparttar right stuff. You can’t gauge repparttar 141536 effectiveness of Pau d’arco if repparttar 141537 product you are taking is just sawdust swept up from a lumber mill floor!

Peruse repparttar 141538 research and you will find that repparttar 141539 Tabebuia Avellanedae is repparttar 141540 species of tree from which effective Pau d’arco is derived. This species is also known as repparttar 141541 Tabebuia impetiginosa and Tabebuia heptaphylla.

Many times these trees are harvested and then mixed in with other rainforest trees at repparttar 141542 lumber mill. The mills shave off repparttar 141543 bark from all repparttar 141544 trees and grind it up into sawdust. This is what much of repparttar 141545 Pau d’arco on repparttar 141546 market is made of. In fact, much of repparttar 141547 sawdust is from repparttar 141548 other trees that were processed in repparttar 141549 mill along with repparttar 141550 Tabebuia. Studies have confirmed that many of repparttar 141551 Pau d’arco products on repparttar 141552 market are essentially sawdust from other rainforest trees and not true Pau d’arco. If you put your faith in these products to improve your health you are only wasting your money and, more importantly, your time.

What Would You Think if I said that You could Overdose on Water?

Written by Alfred Jones

You would probably think that I was writing a lot of old rubbish, but please stay with me, as I can assure you that it is very possible and there are many cases reported worldwide to back up my statement.

A number of medical experts recommend that everyone should drink eight glasses of water per day, which is about two litres. This old chestnut has been pulled out of repparttar fire, so many times over repparttar 141535 years, that no one really knows where repparttar 141536 recommendation came from in repparttar 141537 first place, or what repparttar 141538 benefits to your health would be, if you followed this regime.

A survey that was sponsored by large companies that sell bottled water, state that everyone should consume between one and a half, to two litres per day, of Natural Mineral Water, of course, makes you think, when they paid for repparttar 141539 survey.

There is a lot of confusion about how much water should be taken daily, and when you look around, you will see numerous people carrying their water bottles of natural mineral water everywhere, probably more ladies than men.

Excessive consumption of water can lead to a condition known as, Hyponatremia, which means “water intoxication”. People are encouraged to drink water for detoxing purposes, and yes, it does that very well, it can flush most of repparttar 141540 toxins out of your body, this is one of repparttar 141541 things that it is meant for, but, when you overdo it, repparttar 141542 minerals and sodium levels in repparttar 141543 blood can become too low, because they are also being flushed out of your system, this can lead to complications, coma and even death. This situation has often been seen in Athletes, especially runners when they collapse on repparttar 141544 track, this is frequently caused by a low level of sodium in repparttar 141545 athletes’ blood, and there are instances where it has had serious consequences.

A young man of 23 years of age was rushed to hospital, after going in to a coma, he was diagnosed with Hyponatremia, his sodium levels was dangerously low, and his brain was starting to swell, of course there is not much room available for repparttar 141546 brain to swell, because it is surrounded by repparttar 141547 hard skull, this causes repparttar 141548 brain to be compressed and it does not like this one little bit.

Drinking too much water can flush out repparttar 141549 essential nutrients and minerals and if you are drinking mineral water to excess, it can lead to high levels of calcium, magnesium or other minerals that is in repparttar 141550 water. Some of these minerals are needed, but not in excess quantities.
