Exercise increases Life

Exercise for Life!

Most people know that exercise is “good for you,” but take that little bit of effort to put it into practice. Just 20 minutes of simple walking in the morning can tone the muscles, accelerate elimination of body wastes, clear the lymphatics, and burn calories. And circulating energy through the body makes you feel great! It has been said that there is only one weight loss diet: exercise! Although that may not be true by itself, it certainly does emphasize how a simple exercise such as walking can dramatically aid the burning of calories and keep your system tuned up.

Just 20 Minutes Daily

Many people have become discouraged in their daily exercise by making the mistake of attempting to “go for it” after work. This strategy usually lasts for a week or two and then fades out. After work, many people have other demands such a picking up their kids, starting dinner, etc. Often, they are just plain too tired to go for a walk after work. Therefore we suggest getting up a bit earlier to allot your 20 minutes of walking BEFORE your work schedule time starts. Think of it as time that YOU deserve for yourself. Getting healthy is a privilege! As you make your walk part of your daily schedule, over time it will become second-nature.

Sunlight

Sunlight: Hormonal Stimulation

An added benefit of taking your 20-minute walk in the morning is SUNLIGHT. Avoid wearing sunglasses or regular glasses so that your eyes can drink in the cascades of photonic energy naturally inherent in sunlight. Natural sunlight stimulates your endocrine and immune systems and helps to balance the biological rhythms of your body. If time permits, add other exercise activities such as swimming, golf, tennis, etc. to your schedule. Make it fun!

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Vitamin

Did you also know that you must have at least 30 minutes of unobstructed sun exposure in order to absorb adequate sunlight. Make sure not to wear any sunscreen as this will prevent the sunlight from absorbing into your skin.

This fat-soluble nutrient is called the sunshine vitamin. When the ultraviolet rays of the sun strike your skin, they convert a precursor to vitamin D. Vitamin D is unique because, given sufficient sunlight, your body can make all that it needs-dietary vitamin D is unnecessary. However, when coupled with too little sun exposure, a lack of dietary Vitamin D does cause a vitamin deficiency.

Vitamin D: Sunshine Vitamin

Functions of Vitamin D

• Increases Immunity: studies show that adequate levels of Vitamin D is the best preventative measure against the cold and flu
• Protects Breast and Mucosal Tissue
• Bone Health: Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and therefore prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
• Nerve Function: Vitamin D promotes nerve conduction, nerve and myelin health
• Cognition: Necessary for healthy mood and mental function
• Cardiovascular Health: healthy blood vessel relaxation and blood flow are associated with adequate Vitamin D levels

Fuel the Body with Healthy Starches

The second secret to permanent weight loss, or maintaining a normal weight for a lifetime, is eating starches on a regular basis throughout the day. Starches, you say, isn’t that fattening? Not only are starches not fattening, they are an excellent source of slow-burning fuel for the body. In fact, starches are the fat burners, however, you must know the right starches to  use.

Starches are defined as any grain, bean or potato. Delicious grains to use are oat groats, brown rice, barley, farro, quinoa, jasmine rice and buckwheat. Ideally they will be soaked and sprouted, thereby offering natural enzymes for digestion. Buckwheat is a special favorite because of its ability to calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Avoid any starches that have been boxed, processed or canned. Always look for the organic bulk or special sprouted versions by companies such as TruRoot.

Avoid Most Store-Bought Grains (especially packaged)

Most commercial, store-bought grains are grown with pesticides and typically refined (such as white flour which has had the germ, natural oils, and many nutrients removed). Long-range FDA studies have shown shocking amounts of pesticide/chemical residues in common store-bought grain products. For example, typically in 16 samples, the following pesticide/chemical residues were found: dinner rolls- 44; raisin bran cereal- 42; white flour tortillas – 34; pasta -33, muffins – 46. These toxic residues impact your health negatively over time.

What about “Organic” Grains?

Unfortunately, many organic grains are often contaminated after they are harvested with toxic chemicals while in transit or in storage. For example, “organic” rice is commonly mixed with talc which may contain asbestos impurities (as an anti-rodent deterrent) – often crippling to your digestive tract. “Organic” millet and wheat often test positive for mercury from mercury-based storage sprays used after the organic germ was harvested and put into storage. Make sure to contact the companies and inquire. We trust TruRoots and some from local manufacturers. Ask questions

An “Organic” Wheat Story: Hidden Mercury

One of our patients got sick after eating some organically grown grain. When our patient had the organic grain test, the test came back high in mercury residues. So he called up the organic farmer and complained. The organic farmer flatly denied using any mercury on the grain, but directed the patient to the grain-storage man, mentioning that he was the source of the mercury contamination. When the grain silo man was called, he admitted using mercury fumigants on the grain, flippantly stating that the patient could not sue him because it was perfectly legal to fumigate the grain. This story is real life; how sad that the organic grower knew that toxic fumigants would be used on his grain even though it would be sold as “organic.” This story is not the exception; fumigation is routin. Eating these contaminated grains can badly damage your health. So make sure to buy from a reputable source, which often are local, small companies with integrity still at the forefront of their business plan.

Use Fresh-Ground Grains

Another secret that few people know is that once you split the grain it begins to oxidize and become rancid. For this reason, once the

Image by Tattooed JJ

grain has been ground into flour, it is best to use it within 24 hours to avoid eating the oils of the grain that are gradually becoming rancid. For example, people who have an “allergy” to wheat may really be reacting to the harmful oxidation products of old, rancid ground wheat or mercury fumigants, rather then the wheat protein itself. For this reason, many people do not feel good when they eat wheat products. We have even seen that once people switched to a non-toxic, truly organic, freshly ground source, they did not have a reaction! Imagine that!

Eat Starches Frequently

It is ideal to eat starches every four to six hours during the day, especially the slow-burning, fat-burning starches (whole grains, beans and potatoes) – to keep your energy levels consistent and to avoid cravings and feeling starved! Starches are recommended at breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. If you have a very long morning schedule (six hours or more), you need to have a snack in that time period also. You want to keep your fuel-burner thermostat very consistent – and fuel your body properly to avoid big up and down energy swings. Starches provide fiber that take awhile to digest, but more importantly they provide glucose which is the only fuel that can be used by the brain for energy. So literally it is brain food!

Healthy Pregnancy

Preparing for a healthy pregnancy does take effort, as everything you put on and in your body constructs the very cells of your growing baby. This is the time to be extremely mindful of how your are living, making sure that you are setting the stage for the healthiest baby possible, and not giving into the claims that you can eat and live anyway you want. Here are Health Beyond Hype, we believe that you have the power to govern the future health and development of your baby, so why not start with the very genesis.

The following are our personal recommendations for preparing for a health baby and birth, but should not be used over the recommendations of your personal physician.

Nutritional Program

Pregnancy is a very taxing and health compromising condition for the woman’s body, and therefore requires above and beyond the normal levels of nutrition. Therefore it is imperative to not only intake nutrients to build a healthy baby, but to also support the health of the mother as well. Please note that we have found that many symptoms of pregnancy can be avoided by providing the right environment nutritionally.

Food and Diet

During this critical time in your and your baby’s life, it is imperative that you are mindful of the food you are eating. While most woman believe this is a time to eat whatever you want and fill yourself with all those naughty things you couldn’t eat before, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Every bite of food forms the very cells of your baby, and if you choose to eat toxic foods, you may be setting the stage for a baby with compromised health. Many issues such as asthma, ear infections, allergies, hives, skin disorders, colic, a weak immune system, ADD and other behavioral disorders have been linked to a toxic pregnancy. Therefore, by being mindful of the food you consume can greatly impact the future of your baby.

Eating Greens

Protein Intake

Sufficient protein is needed to help product a healthy baby. We recommend about 70 grams of total protein per day (about 25 grams of protein more than your normal diet). We only recommend non-toxic, plant-based sources such as raw nuts and seeds, mushrooms, nutritional flakes, medi-aminos, dark-leafy greens, Sunwarrior vegan protein powder, hemp seeds, beans (either from scratch or BPA-free cans), farm-fresh and hormone/antibiotic free eggs, and the occasional organic fermented tempeh.  Do not consume conventional animal products, dairy or soy as these contain dangerously high levels of antibiotics and hormones that interrupt your natural hormone balance. As for fish, we find that the risk of heavy metal exposure has become too great, that unless you are eating small, wild fish, we suggest finding alternate sources for protein.

* Making sure you are consuming healthy protein sets the stage for stretch mark and sagging tissue prevention

Mushrooms

Water

During pregnancy your body’s requirements for water increase due to the additional need for amnionic fluid, cell production and the clearance of waste products from both you and your child. Therefore we recommend drinking half your weight in ounces of water daily, increasing your consumption as your pregnancy matures. Only consume 100% purified water, the best being reverse osmosis. Do not trust conventional filtering systems such as Brita and do not rely on bottled water as plastic often leaching into the water exposing you to an array of harmful, estrogenic and cancer-forming chemicals. We recommend Aquasana home filtering systems and ZERO over-the-counter systems.

Healthy Fats

Ensuring that you are eating plenty of healthy fats is vital to your pregnancy, because healthy fats provide the building blocks for hormones, cell membrane production and integrity, as well as the insurance for a healthy brain and heart. Healthy fats also support thyroid production, which will be important for maintaining a healthy weight during and after pregnancy. Furthermore, adequate fats in the diet may prevent stretch marks, sagging breasts and mood swings. Focus on olives, olive oil, avocado, coconut oil/butter/meat, hemp, chia, clarified organic butter, raw nuts and seeds. Eliminate all fried and processed foods, soy, corn, safflower, corn, and vegetable oil. Be especially mindful of eliminating trans fats, which are also labeled as polyunsaturated fats.

Avocados and Olives

Foods for their Nutritional Value

Rather than focusing on foods to eliminate, focus on the foods to add into your diet. Take this time to explore new options that you may have never tried before and ditch all of the processed, pre-made foods. We suggest building all your meals around plant-based, whole foods as follows:

Whole Grains (sprouted, organic): brown rice, jasmine and black rice, quinoa, farro, buckwheat, amaranth, whole wheat cous cous, oat groats.

Vegetables (fresh, not canned or frozen): kale, collards, chard, romaine lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, cauliflower, beets, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, cucumber, celery, eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, green beans, fennel, onion, garlic.

Fruit (fresh, not canned or frozen, organic): banana, citrus, avocado, grapes, cherries, berries, melon, figs, apricots, apples, pineapple, pears, plums, peaches.

Nuts and Seeds (raw, unsalted): sunflower, flax, sesame, chia, pumpkin, hemp, pecans, almonds, walnuts, pistachio, brazil nuts, macadamia, cashews, pine nuts.

Legumes: kidney, garbanzo, navy, lima, lentil, pea, fava, mung, pinto, black.

Herbs: cilantro, parsley, thyme, basil, rosemary, sage, oregano, tarragon.

Healthy Sweeteners: raw honey, agave, molasses, grade b maple syrup, yacon syrup, coconut sugar, natural sweetened jams.

Superfoods

Beverages: purified water, fresh pressed juice, superfood smoothies, caffeine-free tea: spring dragon and rooibos

Root of Life

The kidneys are two of the most important, yet under appreciated organs in the body, that are all too often bearing the brunt of our toxic lifestyles. They are one of the main detoxification pathways of our body, but are never the focus of our attention when it comes to cleansing. The fact is that they are our workhorse, yet we do not treat them with care nor do we ever consider their role in our health.

Surprisingly the kidneys are at the root of an array of very common ailments such as fatigue, hair loss, slow growing nails, extra water weight or edema, foggy brain, high blood pressure, lower back pain and puffy eyes. With the simple change in diet paired with the right kidney nutrients, the majority of people receive instant relief from these symptoms. The problem occurs when we try to address these ailments through other measures such as full body cleanses, which only serve to cause more stress on the kidneys. Therefore, it is always vital for us to start first with the kidneys, before we address any other symptom in the body. So let us take a closer look at these very delicate organs and how they greatly influence and control so many functions in our bodies.

The Kidney

What are the Main Functions of the Kidneys?

The main function of the kidneys is that of forming urine and through that function, the body is able to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is the mechanism that keeps the body’s environment stable and constant which is vital to life. Through this process, the blood is able to stay clean and the body can efficiently get rid of waste while maintaining healthy fluid levels and blood pressure levels.

1. Urine Formation

Through the formation of urine, the kidneys are able to one of the most important detoxification organs in the body. The formation of urine involves, filtration, reabsorption and secretion.

Filtration- The kidneys filter water and dissolved substances (sodium, nutrients, glucose) out of the blood.

Reabsorption- Water and dissolved substances are separated from waste products in the urine and then filtered back into the blood system for use.

Secretion- Toxic waste products such as hydrogen ions, potassium ions, and drugs are secreted into the urine for excretion.

2. Acid/Base (pH) Balance

The kidneys play a primary role in maintaining acid base balance in the body by selecting which ions to retain and which ones to excrete. This allows the body’s total acid burden to be constant, as the urine’s acidity fluctuates to accommodate the balance. If the blood is too acidic, meaning that there is an excess of hydrogen ions, the kidney moves these ions to the urine.

The kidneys help to maintain the blood plasma at a neutral pH 7.4. By regulating the body’s pH, the kidneys help to maintain an environment, which prevents diseases from inhabiting the body and promotes the efficient functioning of all bio-systems.

3. Blood Volume and Pressure

The kidneys meticulously adjust the volume and concentration of the urine to accommodate changes in the body, including variations in your daily food and beverage intake. These adjustments on whether to retain or release substances or water come from ADH (antidiuretic hormone), renin, angiotensin and aldosterone. Therefore, the kidneys are a vital component to maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. 

ADH and Water Retention: When blood volume or pressure falls too low, or when the fluid outside our cells becomes too concentrated, the pituitary gland releases ADH. ADH tells the kidneys to reabsorb water and increase urine concentration. Consequently, if you are dehydrated, the kidneys will excrete less water.

Renin and Sodium Retention: When blood pressure gets too low, an enzyme called renin is released. Renin causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium, which causes water retention. This restores normal blood pressure and volume.

Angiotensin and Blood Vessel Constriction: Renin also activates angiotensin, which is a powerful vasoconstrictor. Meaning it will cause blood vessels to constrict, increasing blood pressure.

Aldosterone and Sodium Retention: When angiotensin is released, it stimulates the release of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands. Aldosterone tells the kidneys to retain more sodium and therefore water, restoring normal blood pressure in the body.

4. Fluid and Electrolyte (salt) Balance

The kidneys control the body’s water content through the “water-retaining hormone” ADH (antidiuretic hormone). If ADH is present, the body decreases the amount of urine formed and therefore less water is lost. If ADH is not present, the amount of urine formed increases, and more water is lost. This is a very delicate balancing act.

The control of electrolytes (salt) is monitored through the hormone Aldosterone (salt and water retaining hormone). If sodium is low, aldosterone stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb sodium, therefore increasing water reabsorption, and decreasing water lost from urine. Therefore, any dysfunction in the kidneys can cause symptoms such as water retention and edema.

5. Waste Excretion

The main function of the kidneys is to excrete toxins and waste products that accumulate in the blood. Therefore, the kidneys are a blood cleanser. One of their main jobs is excreting nitrogenous waste products, such as ammonia and urea, which are byproducts of protein breakdown. If the kidneys are not functioning properly, often due to high intakes of animal proteins, their ability to filter out these toxins is greatly reduced. This leads to problems such as gout and kidney stones.
 

6. Hormone Secretions and Red Blood Cell Production

One very important hormone produced by the kidney is called erythropoietin. It plays a key role in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow as well as hemoglobin. It also plays a role in smooth muscle fiber proliferation; wound healing and can increase iron absorption.

When the kidney detects that the number of red blood cells in the body is declining, it produces erythropoietin. This hormone is released into the bloodstream and goes to the bone marrow. This triggers the production and release of more red blood cells.
 

7. Vitamin D Utilization and Bone Health

When the body comes into contact with sunlight, the UVB wavelengths react with 7-dehydrocholesterol, a precursor from cholesterol. This reaction forms the provitamin, Vitamin D3. In order for this provitamin to be utilized as Vitamin D, it must go through two reactions, one with the liver and one with the kidneys. Therefore, it is a vital job of the kidney to maintain healthy vitamin D levels in the body. Once vitamin D is activated by the kidneys, it acts as a hormone, promoting bone growth and maintenance by maintaining blood concentrations of calcium and phosphorus.

The Missing Link in D Levels

The Kidneys Role in Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine tends to have a more holistic view of the body and looks at the body as a whole and its interactions with its environments. Chinese Medicine believes that kidneys are greatly affected by emotions, including fear and unresolved anger. They see the kidney as the “Minister of Power” or the “Root of Life.” Meaning that they are an important reservoir of essential energy.  These viewpoints can be very helpful so here are some perspectives from Chinese Medicine.

The Kidneys: The Missing Link in Cleansing Protocols

Fortunately we have all begun to see the benefits of cleansing our bodies, whether that is through nutritional regimes or fasting, but we have failed to incorporate a key component that is vital to our success, kidney support. When we elicit a detoxification reaction in the body, our cells release toxins that are then carried to our main detoxification organs for elimination. One of the most important systems is that of the kidneys. Since we now know they are in charge of filtering the blood of any toxins, we can understand how they become quite overloaded when we cleanse. A bulk of those toxins that are released during our detoxification processes are filtered through the kidneys, often leaving them overworked, and underprepared. Therefore, the toxins build up, leaving us feeling fatigued, irritable and often depressed.

 

Engaging in any type of cleanse without first cleansing the kidneys is very irresponsible, because you are only pushing toxins out that most often cannot be properly cleared. So essentially it would be the same as running high levels of water through an already clogged drain… this practice will only make the condition worse. Therefore, it is imperative that we open the elimination pathway first, and then provide that pathway with support, so that we are not recirculating the very toxins we are trying to eliminate.

Parsley, A Kidney Cleanser

Therefore to best support your cleansing efforts and to best achieve the results you are looking for, it is highly advised that you first begin with our 30-day Kidney Cleanse. This cleanse uses a blend of herbs and proteolytic enzymes to increase the functioning of the kidneys while providing the agents necessary for clearing present toxins. This is a simple, yet extremely effective way that should be at the forefront of any cleansing journey. Once you have engaged in the 30-day Kidney Cleanse, you may then proceed with your other targeted detoxification protocols, but be sure to incorporate RenaVen to ensure the effectiveness of your cleanse. You should not be cleansing or detoxing without it.

Hello Loyal Health Beyond Hype Community! I know it’s been a couple of months since our post update, but we have had quite a few changes since then. Many of you have probably noticed the new website. This site took us a year to build. Everything about it is brand new, and almost everything is custom-coded for our needs. This new platform will allow us to expand in the direction we want to go in to serve you all better. Keep an eye out for future newsletters, as this is where we will be making announcements about new features we add to the site.

There are some big changes we made that I would like to mention now.

1. Our home page is now a “landing page” – This will allow everyone to choose what site in the HBH domain they would like to visit.
2. The blue menu bar on top of each site – This menu bar is connected to every site in the HBH domain. So you can get where you want to go directly from this menu bar no matter what site you are on.
3. Our new SuperStore! Due to the limitations imposed on us and all authorized distributors of PRL products online, we decided to create a store just for PRL and a store for all non-PRL products. The beauty in this system is that no matter what cart you shop in, all the products you “add to cart” will go into one cart! Although you still need to ‘login to shop’ to buy PRL products, you do not have to do this in the Superstore. Also make note of the last button in the gold menu bar in each store. It will have the name and link to the other store, so you can easily flip back-and-forth between stores when shopping.
4. The last big change was our bulk discount programming. We have done away with the coupon codes and now everyone will automatically receive a bulk discount when shopping. The dollar amount to qualify and percentages are as follows…

• 10% off for orders over $250
• 15% off for orders over $500
• 20% off for orders over $1000

1. Upcoming feature – Search! We are currently programming the search boxes for each site and for the landing page to make shopping or searching for info a breeze. This process should be completed by the end of April.

I want to make one last announcement for all of our loyal subscribers. Kim White, is no longer working with us. She has moved on to pursue her own business online and in the world of Yoga. Many of you got to know Kim by phone and if you would like to reach her, feel free to email her at kjay1171@gmail.com to catch up.

In the meantime, many of you have been speaking with me. Beginning next week, we will have Lauren taking calls too. She has been training for a couple of months and now she is ready to go! Lauren has a nutrition degree from USC and worked as one of the top account managers at PRL for 2 years. We are excited to have Lauren working with us and after you speak or email with her, you’ll know why – she’s awesome! Her skill-set and knowledge-base in the health and wellness industry are supreme.

Thank you for keeping up with us through our info site. Your patronage and loyalty are truly appreciated. We are working diligently every week to make your experience the best for health and wellness products and information anywhere online.  I know I haven’t been around much, but I am off the road and fully involved in Health Beyond Hype now. If any one of you has any questions, comments, or suggestions, you can email me directly at matthew@healthbeyondhype.com

Sincerely,

Pollution by lucienls

In today’s world we are exposed to more toxins than our body’s can handle. We are exposed to them through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the personal and household products that we use. In short, we can reduce our exposure, but we must address the toxic build up that is inevitably accumulating in our systems.

When toxic minerals, metals and chemicals enter your system, your body often cannot deal with processing them all at once. Your body will remove what it can and store the rest away to be dealt with at a future date. Unfortunately, this time most often never arrives. As we continue to put toxins in, the detoxification organs become overwhelmed and begin to store the toxins in adipose tissue. Furthermore, many of the toxins continue to cycle through the body, damaging tissues and inhibiting the normal functions of the body. This inevitably leads to a host of symptoms, diseases and even cancer. Therefore, it is vital that we engage in cleansing our body and working on restoring our main detoxification pathways functioning.

Recharge your Body

The Body and Detoxification

The main detoxification organs/pathways are the Kidney, Liver, Colon and Lymph and the secondary detoxification pathways are the skin and lungs. Each is just as important as the other, all working in unison to keep the body healthy and toxin-free.

Kidneys: Filter the Blood and Make Urine

Liver: Process Toxins for Elimination via Bile

Colon: Separate Toxins from Nutrients and Pass Toxins on for Elimination

Skin: A Pathway for the Release of Internal Toxins

Lungs: Bring Oxygen to the Heart and Remove Toxins through Exhale

What is Detoxification?

Detoxification refers to a broad spectrum of bodily processes that help maintain the body’s health when exposed to harmful substances. The body’s primary detoxification system converts lipid (fat)- soluble substances to water-soluble substances that can be excreted through urine via the Kidney. Converting toxic substances to nontoxic substances and excreting them takes place in many tissues, but is primarily the function of the intestinal mucosal wall and the liver. Therefore, making sure that your liver, intestinal track and kidneys are open and functioning properly, is vital to your ability to deal with your daily toxic exposure.

How to get Started

Here at Health Beyond Hype, we work hard to provide you with the most comprehensive, yet effective cleansing protocols, so that you can take control of your detoxification program. The following is our suggested sequence for beginning your cleansing journey:

1. Salt Water Flush for Colon Cleansing

2. Kidney Cleanse

3. Intestinal Cleanse

4. Liver/Gallbladder Flush

5. HCL Full Body Detox and Deep Lymphatic Cleanse

Additional Cleansing Modalities for more Frequent Support 

1. Castor Oil Packs

2. Coffee Enemas

3. Juicing 101

Case Specific

1. Radiation Protection and Cleansing Kit 

There is no Better Time than Right Now

EMF Overload

Although tragic, the nuclear disaster that took place at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power plant last March has placed a giant spot light on the pink elephant standing in the room for almost 6 decades. And although the focus has largely been on the radiation fallout as an outcome of this ongoing disaster, we actually have more persistent, chronic levels of radiation in our daily lives that is affecting our health.

This is why we have felt so compelled to bring to you the most comprehensive information about radiation exposure. It’s not a fear tactic, rather a GIANT spotlight to shine on the pink elephant that’s been in the room for over 6 decades. Once fully understood, it is a desire that wells from the bottom of our souls that you use this information to inspire you to take action. At this time, we cannot control what is happening with Fukushima, and we cannot control what is happening right here in the US, but we can control what we choose to expose ourselves to.

Dr. Stewart’s study, titled “Delayed Effects of A-Bomb Radiation: A Review of Recent Mortality Rates and Risk Estimates for Five-Year Survivors”, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health in 1982, showed that those who were the healthiest, were the ones with the best survival rates.

This requires doing everything you can to live a chemical-free life, avoiding EMF exposure as much as possible, providing yourself with purified water, and eating a largely plant-based, organic diet. Organic will ensure that you will not be ingesting irradiated, pesticided, and genetically modified foods. Cutting down on meat and dairy will cut down your exposure immensely.

The Larger the Animal, the More Toxic it is

Minimizing or entirely eliminating meat and dairy will cut down your exposure immensely. Through the process of bioaccumulation, the higher an animal eats on the food chain, the higher the concentration of radioactive particles. This is especially harmful to us if we over consume animal protein, including fish, because the concentrations of radioactive particles will be much higher. Radioactive particles can concentrate in various kinds of tissue. For example, strontium 90, which mimics calcium, concentrates in bones causing bone cancer or leukemia. Cobalt mimics vitamin B-6 thus concentrates in the same places in the body that B-6 would go.

Then start exchanging toxic products for non-toxic products, including skin care and cleaning products. In North America alone there are over 77,000 chemicals being produced; 3,000 of them have been added to our food supply and 20,000 of them cannot be metabolized properly by our bodies. Literally, every area of your life should be closely examined to determine if you are unknowingly exposing yourself to harmful chemicals.

Here is an excellent video by one of our favorite Health Rangers, Daniel Vitalis. He clearly reviews some simple ways to start reducing your exposure while also cleansing the body from previous exposures:

We are surrounded constantly by wi-fi signals, cell phones, cell phone towers, electrical power lines, tvs, computers and a myriad of other electrical devices, all of which emit electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, it is up to us to be aware and take the necessary measures to reduce our exposure.

We are also exposed to radiation regularly if we choose to go through scanners at the airport, have dental X-rays, or other diagnostic testing such as CT scans. And if you live near a nuclear facility or work with radioactive equipment, your exposure to radiation is even higher. Then there is the daily exposure to radiation from food irradiation, and radioactive barium in the atmosphere from chemtrails, just to name a few. Unfortunately our modern technology has littered our environment, including the air, water, and food with a veritable buffet of toxic radiation.

The good news however, is that there are many measures you can to take protect yourself. We highly recommend that you use Premier Research Labs’ Q Tape to neutralize the harmful EMF currents in the home. It is simple and cost-efficient way to safely reduce your exposure from televisions, wireless internet, microwaves and all other electrical outlets in the home. Secondly, you can use our Aulterra Neutralizer to protect yourself from cell phones and laptop computers.
