A Simple Daily Health Regimen

 Like many of you, I am always looking for easy ways to restore good health and stay healthy.  As you already know, I have dozens of posts on just this topic alone.  If one post doesn’t resonate, you can always try another post that will. This particular post may be a keeper.

BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL / LEMON JUICE KIDNEY / LIVER CLEANSE
Lemon and Olive oil

 











The effects of combining olive oil with lemon juice is similar to combining chocolate with peanut butter. Each ingredient is respectable on its own, but together the effects are magical. The main difference is the former combo will help heal you, but the latter, not so much.


Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil on its own has been known to effect health in the following ways:

·       High polyphenol content

·       Antioxidant effect

·       Anti-inflammatory effect

·       Improve brain health

·       Improve heart health

·       Improve skin health

·       Strengthens bone health

·       Lowers blood pressure

·       Rich in Vitamin E and K1

 

Organic Lemon Juice on its own will effect health in different ways:

·       High citric acid concentration to prevent kidney stones

·       Alkalize the body, decrease inflammation

·       Detox and promote liver function

·       Antioxidant properties which contribute to healthy skin

·       Improve bone health -Natural source of Vitamin C and calcium

·       Hydrating with electrolytes

·       Boost immune system

·       Enhance digestive health

·       Can curb appetite

·       Helps regulate blood sugar

 

Together they create a powerhouse of support to help you heal and stay healthy.

Extra virgin olive oil has polyphenols which are known to be a strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory.  It has also been proven to fight free radicals and protect against cell damage. Because of this, it may help with chronic inflammatory conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.  It also has Vitamin E and K  which can foster good bacteria in your gut.


Lemons have flavonoids which also have strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. 

Synergistically, extra virgin olive oil and organic lemon juice have many extra exponential benefits.  They could boost hair and skin health, protect against diabetes and improve insulin resistance.  They may help lower blood pressure and help to reduce excess clotting that leads to strokes and heart attacks.  It may help with cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels, boost metabolism to aid in weight loss and aid in digestion.  It may guard against osteoporosis, help prevent gallstones/kidney stones, heal a fatty or enlarged liver, and may help fight mood disorders, Alzheimer's and depression.


So how do we imbibe this magical elixir?


This is the way I take it.  First thing in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before any food or medication.

·       1TBSP lemon juice

·       1 TBSP olive oil

Mix together in a shot glass.  Get it down in one swallow. You may want to follow it up with a sip of something more palatable, like water or juice.


It is essential to remember that “food is medicine” when properly dispensed and consumed. By feeding the body nutritional necessities and removing toxins, exceptional health can be achieved.  Olive oil with lemon juice does both. It’s a win!

Fluoride Conspiracy Theory Confirmed

 A federal judge has ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to further regulate fluoride in drinking water because high levels could pose a risk to the intellectual development of children.

 The ruling by District Court Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, deals a blow to public health groups in the growing debate about whether the benefits of adding fluoride to the water supply outweighs its risks.




 This ruling validates one of the longest-running so-called conspiracy theories in America—that the government’s use of fluoridation, especially in specific communities, might be part of a deliberate attempt to lower intelligence in order to create a more compliant and subservient population for the New World Order. Historically, fluoride was used for exactly this purpose for concentration camp victims during WWII.

 U.S. District Judge Edward Chen cautioned that it’s not certain that the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ in kids, but he concluded that mounting research points to an unreasonable risk that it could be. He ordered the EPA to take steps to lower that risk, but didn’t say what those steps should be.

 The judge's ruling cites a review by the National Institutes of Health's toxicology program finalized last month, which concluded that "higher levels" of fluoride are now linked to lowered IQ in children. 

 It’s the first time a federal judge has made a determination about the neurodevelopmental risks to children of the recommended U.S. water fluoride level, It is touted as the most historic ruling in the U.S. fluoridation debate that has ever occurred.

Judge Chen said he left it up to the EPA as to which options the agency could take in response to his ruling. They range from a warning label about fluoride's risks at current levels to taking steps towards tightening restrictions on its addition to drinking water.

"One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court's finding, is to ignore that risk," he wrote.

Michael Connett, a partner at the law firm (Siri & Glimstad) and the lead attorney for the groups who brought the lawsuit, said the law now requires EPA to take action to remove the risk of fluoride.

"From our vantage point, the obvious way of eliminating the risk from adding fluoride chemicals to drinking water is to stop adding them," he told CBS News.

And we agree with him completely. A neurotoxin should never be added to drinking water.
