Everyday Poisons

Everyday the body is exposed to toxic substances above and beyond the processed dead foods and tainted water we consume.    In addition to the herbicides, pesticides, fungicides in our foods and the chlorine, fluoride, and previously owned pharmaceuticals in our tap water, we are subjected to environmental pollutants, radiation, electromagnetic fields, and toxic building materials.  Many of us are being poisoned with mercury fillings inserted right into our own teeth.

Here are a few everyday poisons to learn more about:
Refined Sugar
Refined Flour
Alcohol
Nicotine
Sodas
Aspartame
Adulterated Dairy
Adulterated Meat
Additives & Preservatives in Foods
Pharmaceutical Vaccines and Prescription Drugs
Household Cleaners
Cosmetics
Tap Water
Contaminated Air
Dental Amalgams and Other Sources of Mercury (i.e. big ocean fish)

Each day we are exposed to large amounts of small amounts of poison.  All of these small amounts add up.  Manufacturers of these poisons, with government backing, will individually declare them safe… or even good for you.  These poisons however, put stress on our body’s filtering systems and lower our overall immunity.  Remember, health starts with the cell.  What may be considered safe for the collective… that’s us… is certainly not healthy for the individual cell.  The body cannot make good health out of any amount of poison.

I’ll give you one example.  Take a look at your commercial toothpaste.  Are you aware of the warning label?  Here is a typical toothpaste warning label:

WARNING
Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for bushing, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately. As with other toothpaste, if irritation occurs discontinue use.

So my point is this:  If toothpaste is poison to a small human under the age of six… how much more poisonous is it to the very small human cell?

During the last hundred or so years we have greatly increased the toxins in our everyday lives.  We cannot expect overnight solutions, but we can begin to make changes.  Remember, every time you scan a product through the store checkout you are casting a vote. Begin by reducing the quantities of unhealthy products purchased and add healthier all natural or organic items.  Every purchase tells merchants what we want more of on their shelves.  However, if we vote by buying Big Macs, Twinkies, and soda pop, we can be sure of their availability next time we crave a dose of toxic chemicals.

Have we forgotten everything we learned in the last several thousand years?
We are at a point in this country where the life expectancy of our children may be less than our own.  The chronic diseases that are now attacking both adults and children are consequences of the above listed poisons, excessive lifestyles, and the Lemming like behavior when directed by Big Brother, Big Agra, and Big Pharma.  If we believe the priorities of those big three are anything other than their own personal gain then we truly are gullible and foolish.

By giving others the responsibility to decide what is best for us, we have given away our better health.  It doesn’t seem right to know more about sports, American Idol, or Facebook than we do about Earth’s plants and animals.  Ronald McDonald calling it food, doesn’t make it food.  We need to know what we are eating, drinking, breathing, and being exposed to.  Read labels, do simple research, ask questions… maybe it’s time to do some things like Great Grandma and Grandpa did.  We lived better as a civilization prior to all the toxin laced products we are told improve our lives… and we can again.  Start by eliminating one poison at a time from your everyday life.

Cells

Consider human cells as unique living creatures… because that is exactly what they are.  Like us they eat, drink, expel waste, grow, multiply, and eventually die.  While we think of ourselves as individuals, we are in fact a collective of an estimated 100 trillion cells.  Each of these 100 trillion cells are individual living organisms.  Our health, as the big cell, is dependent upon the health of these tiny lives within us.

In regards to better health we must begin by thinking of the health of the individual cell.  The cell, the building block of life, is also the building block to better health.  If the cells are healthy, we are healthy.  Sadly, most people in this country live in a way that lowers cell vitality.  We do this by overworking, over-indulgences, poisonous pharmaceuticals, surgical operations, and harboring negative thoughts or feelings.  Additionally, our cells are deprived of the nutrition needed due to the dead foods of our poisonous diets.  The blood and lymph streams that feed our cells lack necessary mineral elements and instead contain an overabundance of waste matter.  This waste or morbid matter accumulates as a result of the diets that produce it and the weakened cell’s ability to eliminate it.  This is the beginning of disease… the cell’s attempt to right itself.

Cells are obedient to their purpose and fight very hard to keep us healthy.  There are two ways in which cells die… either by injurious agents or suicide.  When faced with an injury or infection it cannot recover from, a cell will sacrifice it’s own life to prevent replication of the abnormal condition.  This process of programmed cell death is call apoptosis.

It may surprise you that cells do not die from natural causes or old age… and it may surprise you more to know that neither do we.  We are cells.  With the exception of physical trauma, we die from conditions in our body that we ourselves are accountable for… and unlike the cells in our body, we are not so committed to a purpose that fulfills our best interest.  We have sacrificed our health, whether knowingly or not, to live life in ways outside the Creator’s design.
