You can and should take control of your health. Some of the articles we’ve publish recently were written to show you both how and why you need to be the one in control. Dehydration and Your Health was written to share with you how important water is to your health and why. Water delivers nutrients to our cells and organs and removes the wastes so you can help detoxify your body with proper hydration.

We wrote Complete Colon Health Equals Disease Prevention to let you know the colon is vital to both the delivery of nutrition and the elimination of waste. You may have heard that aluminum has been associated with Alzheimer’s or that long term exposure to pesticides in well water and foods cause Parkinson’s Disease. No clear cause has been determined yet for either disease. The colon is the organ that is used to expel any aluminum, lead or other toxins that you may have in your body. Why take the chance when you can help prevent the problem by removing the toxins from your body?

Are You Unknowingly Poisoning Yourself? was meant to teach you that some of the commercial products you may be using each day could be putting toxins in your system that may cause cancer or other diseases. We didn’t want to give you just the problem so Your Health and Your Skin Deserve Better was written to show you there are both natural and organic alternatives to many products. It’s important that you read the labels of ALL products because your body might reject some organic products and government guidelines allow inclusion of a certain percentage of chemicals and still be called organic.

Toxins are all around you in your daily life so it is important to do what you can to eliminate them from your diet and minimize your exposure through personal care products so your body has fewer toxins to expel.

Obesity is caused by many things with over eating and a lack of exercise being just two of the causes. since obesity makes your body work harder and less efficiently we wrote Is Malnutrition Causing Your Obesity? to share with you how past farming practices, governmental regulations and greed are combining to provide you with a food supply that fails to supply you with the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

“In the future, we will not be able to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.” Dr. Walter Mertz, U.S. Department of Agriculture, told to congress in 1977.

The instances of cancer and other diseases are increasing each day and the obesity of our population is growing at an alarming rate so I think we are rapidly approaching the time Dr. Mertz was warning us of in 1977. I believe people that eat 100% organic foods are receiving many more nutrients in their diets than those that rely on the general food supply.

Dr. Linus Pauling the two-time Nobel Prize winner states that: “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”

Not all vitamins and minerals are equal. Whole food vitamins are derived from plants and are in a natural state so our bodies can more easily absorb them than the artificial vitamins found in some of the drug stores and super markets you may frequent. Our body is mostly water and much of the activity that takes place in it is electrical so we need ionized minerals. (Ionized means the minerals can conduct electricity.) Many of the minerals you can buy locally and online are made from crushed rock which isn’t natural. In nature, water passes over minerals and picks up some of the minerals in passing. Plants then absorb these minerals which are ready to be used. Which makes more sense to you, taking a pill made up of ground rock or taking liquid minerals that are ready for immediate use by your body?

Dr. Pauling has stated how important minerals are to your health. You have the choice as to whether you are going to be proactive and get the minerals and vitamins your body needs to ward off sickness and disease.

There are many different nail fungus home remedies that are offered both on and offline. Some of the home and commercial remedies are effective while others aren’t as effective. Look at the ingredients of any remedy before using it because some may actually be detrimental to your health.

Distal subungual onychomycosis is one of the 4 different fungi that cause fungal infections and it is the most common cause of nail infections. Toenails are more prone to fungal infections than finger nails because they grow slower. For this same reason, toenails take longer to heal once infected. Nail fungal infections are a worldwide problem that affects anywhere from 2% to 18% at any given point in time with the majority of the infected being adults. Children rarely get nail fungus infections.

A nail fungus infection can be a sign of your overall health. An immune system that isn’t healthy enough to fight off fungal infections might be not be able to fend off other ailments or diseases. If you’ve read the articles on minerals that are located elsewhere here at www.naturalremediesproducts.com, you might have noticed mineral deficiencies can cause nail problems. Two nail fungus home remedies that work for many are Vicks VapoRub and apple cider vinegar but these must be used consistently and you must give the nail time to grow out. The discoloration you see is caused by the fungus and it can only be removed by cutting off the nail as it grows out.

Before deciding on the option that is best for you and your nail fungus, it is wise to talk to your medical professional and read as much as you can so you are an informed consumer that chooses the healthiest option.

Two books you might consider reading are Home Remedies for Toenail Fungus and Stop Nail Fungus. Of these two sources, I recommend Stop Nail Fungus because it discusses both prescription drugs and rates different home remedies for effectiveness.

Knowledge is power but it is useless unless you take action and use it to get rid of your nail fungus.

Yes! Iodine helps your thyroid function as it’s designed to and the hormones it creates help your overall health. The amount of iodine you need is recommended to be 150mcg (microgram) per day. Too much iodine or iodine deficiencies both create health problems. Pregnant women with iodine deficiencies are at risk of giving birth to a child that’s mentally retarded or one with severe motor skill problems. Infants that have iodine deficiencies face the some potential problems with motor skill problems and retardation that newborns face.

Adults that have an iodine deficiency may develop hypothyroidism which is caused by too little iodine and can manifest itself with a slower metabolic rate which could lead to excess weight and low energy. Other problems associated with hypothyroidism may be forgetfulness, personality changes, skin that’s yellowish, dry or scaly and depression. An enlarged thyroid gland which is called goiter is also a possibility.

Hyperthyroidism can also manifest itself in people with excessive iodine in their systems. These manifestations may be in the form of goiter, irregular heart rates, palpitations, sweats, nervousness, tremors, increased activity or eye abnormalities.

Some of the natural sources for iodine are: sea water, kelp, some types of seafood, citrus products such as oranges and grapefruit, egg yolks and garlic.

Many Americans get their iodine from iodized salt but this isn’t a good way because table salt isn’t good for you.

Iron is probably more important than you were taught and you probably weren’t taught that too much iron can be toxic and cause you problems. Iron deficiencies may manifest itself as anemia, fatigue, constipation, brittle nails, menstrual problems or restless leg syndrome in adults.

Children are usually born with enough iron in their tissues to sustain growth for 6-12 months so they don’t need additional iron in their diet. Breast milk is almost completely devoid of iron yet many baby formulas are fortified with iron which often leads to babies that are very uncomfortable because of bloating and gas discomfort otherwise known as colic. A baby is born with stomach bacteria designed to digest breast milk and not artificial formulas that contain ingredients not normally found in breast milk. Given this information, it’s easy to understand why so many infants are fussy and crying when their poor mothers are on the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Program because the infant formula obtainable through this U.S. government program is iron fortified.

Iron is a key element in the metabolism of humans and almost every other living organism. This element is vital to hundreds of proteins and enzymes in the human body.

Your blood is partially made up of hemoglobin and myglobin proteins. These two proteins make up about 2/3rd’s of your body’s iron supply. Hemoglobin’s role is to transport oxygen from your lungs to the tissues and organs that need it throughout your body. Myglobin is a protein that supplies oxygen to your muscle cells and helps with proper oxygenation of your muscles when they are active.

Other enzymes and proteins that contain iron perform the following functions:

• energy metabolism
• electron transport
• antioxidant functions
• beneficial pro-oxidant functions
• oxygen storage
• DNA Synthesis
• regulation of intercellular iron

As with many other vitamins and minerals your body utilizes there is an interaction between iron and other nutrients.

• Zinc, when acquired from supplements, may have lower absorption rates when combined with iron supplements on an empty stomach.
• Consuming foods that contain calcium and iron in the same meal may reduce the amount of iron the body absorbs.
• A deficiency in vitamin A will make a deficiency of iron even worse.
• An adequate level of copper is needed for normal red cell formation and iron metabolism.

The amount of iron you need will vary according to your sex, age, lifestyle and activity level. For example, menstruating women lose iron as a normal part of the menstrual cycle so more iron is needed during this period. Pregnant women lose iron to their developing fetus and placenta so additional iron is needed during pregnancy and people regularly engaging in strenuous exercise or activity may need more iron than someone with a less active lifestyle.

Iron can be obtained naturally in a variety of foods in two different types. Heme and nonheme iron are in different foods. Heme iron is more readily absorbed and used by your body and its absorption is less influenced by the rest of your dietary intake. Nonheme iron is absorbed using a different mechanism than heme iron so your dietary intake and iron levels play a larger role in the amount you absorb.

The sources of heme iron are the hemoglobin and myglobin in the meat, poultry and fish you eat and sources of nonheme iron are iron supplements, iron salts, meat, dairy products, bananas, black molasses, prunes, raisins, whole rye, walnuts, kelp and lentils.

Since vegetarians receive nonheme iron in their diets and many factors can inhibit the absorption of iron, it is recommended that vegetarians take special care to increase the iron in the diet.

Fluoride has been added to the drinking water in many communities because it has been claimed it reduces tooth decay 40% to 60% over communities that don’t have fluorinated water. This belief was first promoted in the early 1940′s but studies since that time have shown that Fluoride is a toxin we do not need. The 11 organizations listed below stopped supporting the Fluoridation of water in 1996:

• American Heart Assoc.
• American Academy of Allergy & Immunology
• American Cancer Society
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Action Network
• American Diabetes Assoc.
• National Institute of Law Municipal Officers
• American Chiropractic Assoc.
• American Civil Liberties Union
• Nat’l Kidney Foundation
• American Psychiatric Assoc.
• Soc. of Toxicology

If you visit the Wikipedia page on fluoride at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride, you’ll see this is a very toxic substance that many are being forced to drink.

Some sites state that fluoride is necessary for strong teeth and bones but no studies have conclusively proven this. Do your own due diligence and decide for yourself by visiting:

Here’s something for you to think about:

Adolf Hitler sought a means to make people docile and suggestible. He discovered that odorless sodium fluoride slowly poisons and makes dormant the small tissue in the brain’s left rear occipital lobe that normally helps a person resist domination. Fluoride allows muscles to move one way, but not relax. In large doses fluoride can cause paralysis and death.

“Referenced from the article ‘Fluorine is a Deadly Poison !’ from ‘Dr. Patricia Bragg”.”

Sodium fluoride is classified with arsenic and cyanide as a dangerous poison and is used in rat poison. Hydrogen fluoride is an industrial pollutant. It is illegal to sell or give away a fluoride pill of 1 mg. Fluoride slowly destroys the body’s self-repair and rejuvenation capabilities causing premature aging, bone damage and deformities.

It’s up to you to decide whether you want fluoride in your toothpaste, food, drinking water or body after visiting the sites above.
