Pharmaceutical Drugs are 62,000 Times More Likely to Kill You than Supplements

Official UK and EU data reveals that you are 900 times more likely to die from food poisoning than nutritional supplements, and compared to supplements, you’re 300,000 times more likely to die from a preventable medical injury during a hospital stay in the UK.

Adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs are 62,000 times more likely to kill you than food supplements, and 7,750 times more likely to kill you than herbal remedies.

You’re also more likely to die from being struck by lightning or drowning in your bathtub than having a lethal reaction to herbs or supplements.

Based on the data showing supplements and herbal remedies are in the ‘super-safe’ category of individual risk, UK, European, and American authorities are completely out of line in their assertion that supplements are dangerous and need to be more heavily regulated

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH – HEALTH BENEFITS

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has been reported to absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses (including poliovirus), organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. DE is a natural organic colon cleanser and detoxifier.

Food  Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica.

It was established in the 1940s that life can't exist without Silica. More recently, in her book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica is the most important trace element in human health." Silica plays an important role in many bodily functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption.  If silica deficient, calcium supplementation can be a negative.  Food Grade DE is an excellent, natural and organic source of silica.

 Reported Health Benefits of Silica / DE Include: Lowering Blood Pressure, Lowering Cholesterol, Osteoperosis, Bond and Joint Health, Weight Loss, Cosmetics, Hair, Nails, Teeth and Gums, Energy, Bacteria, Detoxing Heavy Metals and Radiation, Muscus, Anti-Aging, Urinary Infections, Headache.

More Reported Benefits of Diatomaceous Earth:

• Silica lowers bad cholesterol and raises good
• Silica fades age spots
• Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels
• Diatomaceous Earth has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge. It is believed that DE sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form.
• Silica supplementation helps repair and maintain vital lung tissue and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissue, silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis.
• It acts as a cough decreasing agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.
• Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwanted side effects of menopause 
• Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to preserve youthfulness.
• Silica can help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and restoring normal function to these vital organs.
• The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
• Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.
• In regulating and normalizing the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.
• Silica proves effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
• The intake of silica acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat.
• Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects.
• Silica can normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
• Silica can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia.
• Silica can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
• Silica can help arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, the heart's key blood vessel, thus weakening its critical connective tissue and resulting in a greater cardiac risk.
• Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
• By improving the elasticity of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.
• Silica has inhibitory effects on coronary diseases.
• Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimer's disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica can stimulate the immune system.

The Xylitol Difference......

Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants with a sweet taste identical to sugar and NO aftertaste.  Xylitol has a low glycemic index of 7 (compared to sugar's 83) and is low in calories.  In addition to being delicious, xylitol has much to offer the health-conscious consumer. Used extensively in Scandinavia since the 1940's, xylitol has been the subject of more than 1500 clinical and laboratory studies that have clearly revealed xylitol's health-promoting benefits. Dental associations around the world are touting xylitol's praises because it promotes better oral health & may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Other studies have shown that when certain bacteria are exposed to xylitol, they lose their ability to stick to the tissues in the mouth, nose and upper respiratory tract. Furthermore, xylitol has a cooling and soothing effect, making it an ideal choice for both taste and good health.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 - Methylcobalamin

B12 is the most chemically complex of all the vitamins and is the general name for a group of essential biological compounds known as cobalamins.  Vitamin B12 comes in several forms and not all forms are equally effective.  The most effective is Methylcobalamin, however, the most common is Cyanocobalamin, because it is easier to manufacture and is therefore less expensive.

B12 is needed to prevent anemia, aids folic acid in regulating the formation of red blood cells, and helps in the utilization of iron.  It  is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, aids in cell formation, cellular longevity, helps to prevent nerve damage, maintains fertility and promotes normal growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths that cover and protect nerve endings.

Deficiency can cause abnormal gait, bone loss, chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, digestive disorders, dizziness, drowsiness, enlargement of the liver, eye disorders, hallucinations, headaches (including migraines), inflammation of the tongue, irritability, labored breathing, memory loss, moodiness, nervousness, palpitations, ringing in the ears and spinal-cord degeneration.

Germs....

What do restaurant menus, hands-free faucets, ATM machines and your physician's scrubs have in common? They are all among the "germiest" objects on Earth.

Yes, really.

As much as you might like to give the gold medal to toilet seats when it comes to squeamishly germ-ridden locations, science suggests there are much "germier" places that you're probably frequenting daily.

For example, one study found that each key on an ATM keypad harbors 1,200 germs, including E. coli and cold and flu viruses. The worst button is the "Enter" button, because everyone has to touch it. Flu viruses can survive on hard surfaces such as restaurant menus for as long as 18 hours, according to an article in Mental Flossⁱ. Some of the other dirtiest places and objects might surprise you:
