NATURAL, HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES
NATURAL, HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES
I’m always looking for natural remedies, because we live under a corrupt government system where healthy water and food are hard to come by. The good news is that there are ways to circumvent the poison that is pushed to us on a daily basis. Please take a few minutes to read for the sake of your health.
WHEATGRASS
Our water is filled with toxic chemicals such as fluoride, chlorine, lead, mercury, etc. and this is NO ACCIDENT. I won’t go on a tangent about the purpose of corrupting our water system, even though I reaaaallllly want to. Getting straight to some solutions to help those who don’t know they’re actually drinking poison; wheatgrass is a natural purifier and completely gets rid of the fluoride in your water (allow the wheatgrass to sit in your water for several minutes). Everyone should have some sort of filter system that eliminates these radicals, but if you don’t, try local grocery stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joes (they MAY have it) for your wheatgrass supply, or you can order it online. I would suggest ordering the kits, so you can grow your own.
BAKING SODA
Many people overlook the health benefits of baking soda, but there are MANY. One of its greatest benefits is to water. Adding ¼ teaspoon to every 16 oz. of water will make it more alkaline. One of the main causes of DIS-EASE is the extreme build up of lactic acid in our bodies. This is caused from our poor drinking water and the amount of processed foods, sugar, and meat in our diet. Our bodies were originally designed for an alkaline diet of fruits and vegetables and we’ve drastically strayed away from this. As a result, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, and too many diseases to count are rampant. Drinking alkalized water is a start, so make sure to get ALUMINUM FREE Baking Soda (not Arm & Hammers) on your next grocery trip.
This household item can also be used for under arm odor. Yes, I know it sounds weird to put a baking soda/cornstarch paste under your arms, but the alternative is an aluminum based deodorant that is linked to several health problems. Many of the symptoms of aluminum toxicity mimic those of Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis. Colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, interference with the metabolism of calcium, extreme nervousness, anemia, headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, memory loss, speech problems, softening of the bones, and aching muscles can all be caused by aluminum toxicity. You can order aluminum-free deodorant online or from Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.
FLUORIDE-FREE TOOTHPASTE
Fluoride is more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic. It is a cumulative poison that accumulates in bone over the years. According to the Physicians Desk Reference, “in hypersensitive individuals, fluorides occasionally cause skin eruptions such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria. Gastric distress, headache, and weakness have also been reported. These hypersensitive reactions usually disappear promptly after discontinuation of the fluoride.” Fluoride has also been linked to cancer. In 1989, the ability of fluoride to transform normal cells into cancer cells was confirmed by Argonne National Laboratories. SO, it is VERY important that you buy natural toothpaste. Some grocers such Whole Foods and Trader Joes carry toothpaste without fluoride, or you can use baking soda or peroxide to brush your teeth. They’re more efficient in killing bacteria than toothpaste or mouthwash.
PLEASE REMEMBER The most important factor to your health is your DIET. Try to minimize the meat or completely get rid of it, especially red meat. Eating plenty of organic greens and vegetables is the key, along with a healthy supply of water and exercise. If you struggle with vegetables like I do, try mixing them in foods you like to mask the taste. One green that anyone should be able to tolerate is spinach leaves. It doesn’t taste like anything and makes for a great salad. If I can eat it, TRUST ME you can. I’m honestly the pickiest eater on the planet.
I’ll be updating my healthy tips along the way, as I’m learning new alternatives every day. Stay tuned in to my blog to see what’s new!!!
Until next time…
