Water: The Beverage of LifeWritten by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC
Water and weight loss go hand-in-hand. Let me give you an illustration. When you empty pot of oatmeal into sink it just sits there. If you didn’t do anything with it and allowed it to sit, eventually it would ferment and rot, and become infested with flies or maggots. Imagine if you eat a meal and don’t take in any liquids, your food would just sit there and ferment and rot causing constipation and other digestive problems. Once you’ve thrown oatmeal into sink, if you wash it down drain with water, it will easily go down pipes and your sink will be clean and fresh and healthy. The body is same way. You’ve got to wash that meal down pipes (your esophagus) with water to keep your system clean and fresh and healthy. On other hand, if you wash oatmeal down drain with soda pop, oatmeal will go down but sink will be sticky and stained and unhealthy. Likewise, soda pop will cause your system to be unhealthy and can lead to various problems.
| | Familiarizing Yourself with Oral ChelationWritten by Mike Spencer
Copyright 2005 Octocat LtdOral Chelation (pronounced “key lay shun”) is simply process by which metals, minerals and toxins are removed from body through use of certain agents (chelating agents) that bond with those elements – literally forming a circle around them – and flushing them out through body’s natural waste material. One of toxins which chelating agents identify for removal is arterial plaque. By removing this, you can avoid build-up of plaque within arteries and promote greater heart health. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is one of most effective chelating agents in use today. The synthetic amino acids which make up EDTA provide foundation on which protein is built and was first utilized in U.S. in 1948. Designed as a treatment for those who were working in a battery factory as a treatment for lead poisoning – which was approved by FDA – Navy soon followed in its use of this chelating agent for sailors who absorbed lead while applying paint to ships and other government property. In 1952, oral chelation was being used by doctors for those patients who were suffering from hardening of arteries as a result of arterial plaque build-up. Those for whom oral chelation was prescribed exhibited a reduction in both of areas. Had it not been for using EDTA to treat lead poisoning at that time, physicians wouldn’t have had opportunity to note this effect on their patients, and impact that it had on these illnesses might never have been discovered. While most people may think that exposure to lead contaminants has been all but eliminated today, it has actually increased over years and continues to be an ever-present threat in items such as tap water, residues in processed foods, cosmetics, mouthwash, toothpaste, shampoo, soap and a wide variety of hair care products.
