I take 2 teaspoons before each meal, it helps to increase your metabolism and aids in digestion. If you can't drink it full strenght then dilute it in 8 ounces of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that you buy 100% organic raw-unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the `Mother'. You should be able to find it at your local health food store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few remedies for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Age spots&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mix 2 teaspoons vinegar with 1 teaspoon onion juice and apply daily to dark areas, they should start to fade in about 2 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dandruff&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Apply full strenght to hair and massage into scalp. Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour before washing hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Colds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;At the first sign of a cold, take 1 teaspoon vinegar in 1/2 cup water several times a day. Your body becomes alkaline during a cold, the vinegar helps to rebalance the acid level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blood pressure&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Take 1 tablespoon vinegar with 1 tablespoon honey (organic) twice a day to help lower blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are just too many more to list. Do a simple search for Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits and see all the other great benefits from health to cleaning.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-6159114659878426714?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/LihG4wp9Or4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/LihG4wp9Or4/apple-cider-vinegar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/R16taVZiH1I/AAAAAAAAAG4/6jHJVj41kA0/s72-c/Picture+009.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/12/apple-cider-vinegar.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-1966213298208589565</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-26T08:43:24.006-08:00</atom:updated><title>More on weight loss</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/R0r3oct45gI/AAAAAAAAAGw/u0lK48j475g/s1600-h/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+065.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137190599244965378" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/R0r3oct45gI/AAAAAAAAAGw/u0lK48j475g/s200/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+065.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sorry that I have not updated my blog, but now would be good time to talk about more tips on weight loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wu Long tea (also known as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Oolong&lt;/span&gt; tea) is known to have fat burning properties and elevates your metabolism. Drink at least 5 cups a day. Be sure that you are getting an authentic Wu Long tea, I found mine online at &lt;a href="http://www.infusium-tea.com/"&gt;http://www.infusium-tea.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar with the "mother" also helps elevate metabolism. Take 1tsp before each meal, if you can't stand the taste you can buy it pill form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digestive enzymes help give your digestive system a boost. Make sure that you are getting an organic blend from your local health store, follow the instructions on the bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chili peppers are great for your metabolism and they taste good. Try to eat as much as possible with your meals (organic of course).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make your juices from organic fruits and vegetables. This is great way to give your body the nutrients that it needs. Drink it as soon as you make it. There is a lot of information on juicing, do a Google search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organic virgin coconut oil helps promotes weight loss. You should take 1&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;tbl&lt;/span&gt; 3 times a day however I have read that some people take it slow and take 1tsp a day working their way up to 1&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;tbl&lt;/span&gt; 3 times a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget your water, 8 glasses a day. Do not drink tap water, drink spring water with no fluoride in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exercise as much as possible, even if you can only walk 1hr a day you feel the benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat 5 to 6 meals a day, organic as possible and stay away from fast food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember if you do as many of the detoxes that I talked about earlier and think of this plan as a life change rather than a diet, you will lose weight and keep it off forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to leave comments or questions, I will try my best to answer your questions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-1966213298208589565?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/B84Cnkfe06w" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/B84Cnkfe06w/more-on-weight-loss.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/R0r3oct45gI/AAAAAAAAAGw/u0lK48j475g/s72-c/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+065.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/more-on-weight-loss.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-8724399534612350391</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-16T07:59:39.499-08:00</atom:updated><title>True Stories</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rz2-WMt45fI/AAAAAAAAAGo/sTCtUxOlrSw/s1600-h/birds+in+sky.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133468438852330994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rz2-WMt45fI/AAAAAAAAAGo/sTCtUxOlrSw/s200/birds+in+sky.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are a couple stories that will help shed some light on the relation between the FDA and the Big Pharma.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first one is about an infant, Alexander Horwin, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and underwent two surgeries. He was left with optic nerve damage and unable to walk and tumor free. But the parents were informed that if he did not receive chemotherapy that the disease would threatened to return.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Less that four months later Alexander died. The parents learned later through reading various medical journals that this state-of-the-art chemotherapy was proven ineffective for young children. It was reported through various medical journals that the drug Alexander was given caused dementia, seizures and death, and caused cancer itself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The FDA denied Alexander access to his best chance of survival, a non-toxic therapy that has saved other children. Please read the whole story, it made me cry and this is why I want to get the word out to more people that things need to change.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ouralexander.org/"&gt;http://www.ouralexander.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Young Dustin Kunnari was also diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors claimed that Dustin only had four months to live and recommended surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The parents found an alternative health doctor, Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. The medical doctors warned the parents that if they considered alternative treatment as an option, there was a good chance that social workers from the state would come in, take Dustin away and force him to receive the conventional treatments of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and drugs. The FDA says patients must receive approved therapies with no success before getting alternative treatment. Fortunately for young Dustin, his scenario happened before these laws were put into effect. He received alternative treatment for cancer and eight years later he is tumor free, healthy and off medication.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://burzynskipatientgroup.org/dustin.htm"&gt;http://burzynskipatientgroup.org/dustin.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-8724399534612350391?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/_B3s9Nn3jyA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/_B3s9Nn3jyA/true-stories.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rz2-WMt45fI/AAAAAAAAAGo/sTCtUxOlrSw/s72-c/birds+in+sky.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/true-stories.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-7584004615807379495</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Nov 2007 14:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-15T08:04:31.656-08:00</atom:updated><title>Hydrogen Peroxide and DMSO Miracle Products</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzxt-Mt45eI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HcAsJJqO2eE/s1600-h/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+158.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133098590628537826" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzxt-Mt45eI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HcAsJJqO2eE/s200/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+158.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Did you know that cancer cannot survive in oxygen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hydrogen peroxide and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) help cure herpes, arthritis, cancer, MS and other virus-type diseases. These two products effectively flood your body with oxygen. According to Dr. Otto Walberg (Nobel Prize winner), cancer and all viruses cannot live in an oxygen rich environment. When your body has little oxygen it's pH is acidic, flooding your body with oxygen changes your body pH to alkaline. In return, your energy is boosted and cancer and viruses instantly die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, why haven't we heard of this before? They are extremely inexpensive and unpatentable. Which means no one will spend serious money for research on the effects of these products. The pharmaceutical industry does not want these products on the market and will suppress information about them. Unfortunately, the FDA will not allow this treatment because it is not a patentable drug. This is not done to protect the public, but to protect their profits at our expense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many benefits from these two products, PLEASE go to the Internet and search for DMSO or hydogen peroxide and read about their benefits. Now remember, the pharmaceutical industry is doing everything in their power to suppress this information, so they have set up a host of websites that are very negative about these two products. I'll tell you what, if I had cancer, there is no way that I would subject my body to chemotherapy. There is a clinic in Mexico with a very high success rate from this therapy for cancer, Dr. Kurt W. Donsbach in Rosario Beach, Mexico (link below).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cancure.org/donsbach_clinic.htm"&gt;http://www.cancure.org/donsbach_clinic.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-7584004615807379495?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/6umgEW9NJ-c" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/6umgEW9NJ-c/hydrogen-peroxide-and-dmso-miracle.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzxt-Mt45eI/AAAAAAAAAGg/HcAsJJqO2eE/s72-c/TRIP+W.+BILL+AND+JULIE+158.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/hydrogen-peroxide-and-dmso-miracle.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-924640927223500648</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-14T08:52:59.536-08:00</atom:updated><title>What is Chemotherapy?</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzsn2VvOa_I/AAAAAAAAAGU/fSCvvVjwo-s/s1600-h/Thanksgiving+06+048.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132740014820453362" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzsn2VvOa_I/AAAAAAAAAGU/fSCvvVjwo-s/s200/Thanksgiving+06+048.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Did you know Chemotherapy is Mustard Gas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is from the American Cancer Society. The link is provided below for you to see for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History of Chemotherapy&lt;br /&gt;The first drug used for cancer chemotherapy was not originally intended for that purpose. Mustard gas was used as a chemical warfare agent during World War I and was studied further during World War II. During a military operation in World War II, a group of people were accidentally exposed to mustard gas and were later found to have very low white blood cell counts. It was reasoned that an agent that damaged the rapidly growing white blood cells might have a similar effect on cancer. Therefore, in the 1940s, several patients with advanced lymphomas (cancers of certain white blood cells) were given the drug by vein, rather than by breathing the irritating gas. Their improvement, although temporary, was remarkable. That experience led researchers to look for other substances that might have similar effects against cancer. As a result, many other drugs have been developed to treat cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_1_4X_What_Is_Chemotherapy.asp?sitearea=ETO"&gt;http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_1_4X_What_Is_Chemotherapy.asp?sitearea=ETO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-924640927223500648?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/izPAmtmKjns" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/izPAmtmKjns/what-is-chemotherapy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzsn2VvOa_I/AAAAAAAAAGU/fSCvvVjwo-s/s72-c/Thanksgiving+06+048.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/what-is-chemotherapy.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-5980199281245558198</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Nov 2007 19:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-13T11:15:06.658-08:00</atom:updated><title>Toxins and Obesity</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzn3jUe83CI/AAAAAAAAAGE/XiLmoKpC9B0/s1600-h/PICT0247.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132405436531399714" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzn3jUe83CI/AAAAAAAAAGE/XiLmoKpC9B0/s200/PICT0247.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Read this and maybe you will start paying attention to what is really going on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chemical toxins: a hypothesis to explain the global obesity epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&amp;amp;Cmd=Search&amp;amp;Term=%22Baillie-Hamilton%20PF%22%5BAuthor%5D&amp;amp;itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlus"&gt;Baillie-Hamilton PF&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Occupational and Environmental Health Research Group at Stirling, Stirling University, Scotland. paulabh@thegart.co.uk&lt;br /&gt;The number of obese people worldwide has escalated recently, revealing a complex picture of significant variations among nations and different profiles among adults and children, regions, and occupations. The commonly held causes of obesity-overeating and inactivity-do not explain the current obesity epidemic. There is evidence of a general decrease in food consumption by humans and a significant decline in their overall levels of physical activity. There is also more evidence to indicate that the body's natural weight-control mechanisms are not functioning properly in obesity. Because the obesity epidemic occurred relatively quickly, it has been suggested that environmental causes instead of genetic factors maybe largely responsible. What has, up to now, been overlooked is that the earth's environment has changed significantly during the last few decades because of the exponential production and usage of synthetic organic and inorganic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are better known for causing weight loss at high levels of exposure but much lower concentrations of these same chemicals have powerful weight-promoting actions. This property has already been widely exploited commercially to produce growth hormones that fatten livestock and pharmaceuticals that induce weight gain in grossly underweight patients. This paper presents a hypothesis that the current level of human exposure to these chemicals may have damaged many of the body's natural weight-control mechanisms. Furthermore, it is posited here that these effects, together with a wide range of additional, possibly synergistic, factors may play a significant role in the worldwide obesity epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;PMID: 12006126 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-5980199281245558198?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/lvpVbM0RVAg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/lvpVbM0RVAg/toxins-and-obesity.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/Rzn3jUe83CI/AAAAAAAAAGE/XiLmoKpC9B0/s72-c/PICT0247.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/toxins-and-obesity.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-6236150051345395997</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-13T10:58:30.812-08:00</atom:updated><title>Toxins in bath and beauty products?</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzixBke83BI/AAAAAAAAAF8/Hbfj6dRLwAg/s1600-h/PICT0038.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132046415920159762" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzixBke83BI/AAAAAAAAAF8/Hbfj6dRLwAg/s200/PICT0038.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Toxins enter our bodies in many different ways, either through the food that we eat to every day bath and beauty products. Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Not only does your skin have protective immune functions, it also eliminates wastes, produces nutrients and most important it absorbs everything that you put on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's a simple rule to follow: Read the ingredients of all your bath and beauty products, if you can't eat it don't put it on your skin. Do a Google search on the ingredients, you will be shocked as to what you find. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let me give you a few examples. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate found in most shampoos is a harsh detergent used to clean garage floors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hexachlorophene found in many cosmetics, deodorants and soaps, may cause cancer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Propylene Glycol the main ingredient in antifreeze may cause cancer and is in your toothpaste, soaps, lotions, shampoos, conditioners and more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Check it out for yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Toxins build up in your body, causing diseases and obesity, which is why it is imperative that you detox and stop putting toxins into your body. Think about this, the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA work together creating a monopoly for diseases increasing their profits. Hmmm...could this be why these poisons are allowed in the products that we buy?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-6236150051345395997?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/LSc9pK9FC94" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/LSc9pK9FC94/stay-away-from-toxins.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzixBke83BI/AAAAAAAAAF8/Hbfj6dRLwAg/s72-c/PICT0038.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/stay-away-from-toxins.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-6480323467986805881</guid><pubDate>Sun, 11 Nov 2007 23:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-12T10:30:19.043-08:00</atom:updated><title>Lose weight and keep it off</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzibX0e82-I/AAAAAAAAAFk/ZCEnPxUdZwA/s1600-h/PICT0115.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132022608916437986" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzibX0e82-I/AAAAAAAAAFk/ZCEnPxUdZwA/s200/PICT0115.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Everywhere you look there's some kind of new diet or miracle weight loss pill. But what people don't understand is that all they have to do is increase their metabolism. Sure you'll lose weight while on these so called weight loss programs, but you'll gain it all back when you are finished with the program. The trick is to change you're eating habits, increase your metabolism and still be able to eat what you want (except for fast food).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water, water and more water...drink at least 8 glasses a day (no tap water)I cannot stress this enough. Your body needs food, if you eat 5-6 small meals daily your metabolism increases. People are made to believe that if they limit food intake that they will lose weight. This will cause your body to go into survival mode, decreasing your metabolism, so now whenever you do eat your body will store it as fat reserves. If you increase your metabolism your body will use food as fuel instead of storing it as fat. Now if you can, eat as much organic as possible. The chemicals and toxins that are in our food have alot to do with the weight problems that Americans have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now when I say that you can still eat what you want, I don't mean that you can eat a whole chocolate cake in 2 days. Everything in moderation, there is nothing wrong with treating yourself to a small bowl of ice cream or a slice of cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exercise is vital for weight loss, you don't need to run a marathon, remember moderation. Do what is comfortable for you and mix it up a little so your routine will not become a drag. Walking is not only good for you physically, but it is a good way to ease the every day mental stress. Stress can also contribute to weight gain, so taking a walk or reading a book every day will help in your weight loss cure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't treat this as a diet plan, this is a change of life and if you stick to it you will lose weight and keep it off forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you apply some or all of the detoxes from my post Are you really healthy part 2, you should have greater results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck and please feel free to leave comments or questions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-6480323467986805881?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/_yS-5YMAdzY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/_yS-5YMAdzY/lose-weight-and-keep-it-off.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzibX0e82-I/AAAAAAAAAFk/ZCEnPxUdZwA/s72-c/PICT0115.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/lose-weight-and-keep-it-off.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-5918139859387877697</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-12T10:46:09.658-08:00</atom:updated><title>Are you really healthy?

Now the best way to this would be to find a licensed health care practitioner. But this can cost a pretty penny. If you cannot go to a health care practitioner, you can do most of the detoxes yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;1. Colonics-under the care of a licensed health care practitioner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;2. The following cleanses can be found on the Internet or local health food store:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Colon cleanse, liver/gallbladder cleanse, kidney/bladder cleanse, heavy metal cleanse, parasite cleanse, candida cleanse and a full body fat/lymphatic cleanse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;3. Drink eight glasses of pure water daily (no tap water).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;4. Exercise-use a rebounder 10 minutes daily or walk at least 1 hour daily.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;5. Treat yourself to a dry sauna as much as possible, this will help your body to sweat the toxins out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;6. Dry brush massage-exfoliating at least once a day allows toxins to come out of the skin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;7. Full body deep tissue massage-there are too many benefits to list, but you will not be disappointed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;If you are like me, there is no way that I can afford to do all this. But do as much as you can. The most important things to start with are to stop putting toxins into your body by changing your eating habits and a colon cleanse. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Please feel free to leave comments or questions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-5918139859387877697?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/syMRO0juWwc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/syMRO0juWwc/are-you-really-helthy-part-2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzifYke83AI/AAAAAAAAAF0/EPo43RvKlGk/s72-c/PICT0058.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/are-you-really-helthy-part-2.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516739419980776928.post-4414768040548274804</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Nov 2007 16:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-12T09:14:47.653-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">health</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">healthy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">organic</category><title>Are you really healthy?</title><description>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzOha0e825I/AAAAAAAAAA8/ilkgAdXWPeU/s1600-h/Pictures+family+318.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130621882642258834" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzOha0e825I/AAAAAAAAAA8/ilkgAdXWPeU/s200/Pictures+family+318.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Does anyone really know why Americans are so unhealthy? The government knows, but we are all brainwashed into believing that being sick is normal. This is simply not true, are bodies were designed to fight off sickness on its own. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;We have been pumped with poisons and chemicals since we were infants, which has killed our bodies own immune system. These toxins are in prescription and non-prescription drugs (including vaccines), they are in the food that we eat, the drinks that we drink, everyday bath and body care and so much more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;More and more people are starting to realize what is going on and making changes in their lives. On the other hand, there are still alot of people who are either not aware of whats going on or to afraid of change. I want to get the word out to as many people as possible and hopefully help someone make a difference in their lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The changes that everyone can start with are simple. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Research-do your own research on organic living via the internet or your local bookstore. There is alot of information out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Food-try to eat as much organic food as possible. Organic food is grown without the use of chemicals, pesticides or growth hormones. STAY AWAY from fast food, it is by far the worse thing for you to eat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Just changing your eating habits is a huge start, but there is still more, which you will find in your research. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzOeSUe824I/AAAAAAAAAA0/Wj4co9yOGjM/s1600-h/Pictures+family+318.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4516739419980776928-4414768040548274804?l=yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~4/z9UUxBsRub8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AreYouReallyHealthy/~3/z9UUxBsRub8/alternative-health.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Toni)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_gsMbftNgXM0/RzOha0e825I/AAAAAAAAAA8/ilkgAdXWPeU/s72-c/Pictures+family+318.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://yourhealth-tonir.blogspot.com/2007/11/alternative-health.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
