If you`re living in the U.S., particularly within a thousand miles of the Gulf, you need to detoxify your body now. Here`s why: Crude oil is packed with a toxic chemical called benzene. Even in small amounts, benzene is associated with leukemia, Hodgkin`s Lymphoma and other serious blood and immune system diseases. The EPA`s “safe level” for benzene is 4 ppb (parts per billion) and benzene is being found in Gulf air at levels of 3,000 ppb. Crude oil is being smelled hundreds of miles away, and make no mistake, if you can smell oil, you`re breathing highly toxic benzene.

With the oil, numerous toxic gases are also gushing from earth and gases that everyone near the Gulf is being exposed to include hydrogen sulfide and methylene chloride. The EPA`s allowable limit for hydrogen sulfide is 5-10 ppb (parts per billion), but on May 3rd air levels of 1,192 ppb were recorded. A former oil company CEO says these levels pose serious, even fatal, risks to adults and unborn children. Hydrogen sulfide acts like carbon monoxide and cyanide gases – it inhibits cellular respiration and oxygen uptake, and causes cellular suffocation. As for methylene chloride, the body changes it to carbon monoxide – and it`s known to cause liver damage, skin damage and cancer. The EPA`s safe level for methylene chloride is 61 ppb – and it`s being found in the air at levels of 3,000 ppb.

Most people know that the chemical dispersant BP is using is highly toxic. It`s so toxic that the EPA ordered BP to use a different and less toxic dispersant – an order which BP ignored. Currently, over a million gallons of these toxic chemicals have been dumped into our oceans. With the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the same dispersant caused serious respiratory, liver, nervous system, kidney and blood damage in people – and reports that clean up crews in the Gulf are falling ill are plenty. On the manufacturer`s label, it says that no toxicity testing has been done, but these chemicals being used in enormous and uncontained quantities are obviously very toxic.

All of this sounds bad, and it is, but here`s the kicker: as part of the earth`s interconnected ecosystem, rain water comes from the oceans. So, it shouldn`t be a surprise that scientists are predicting severe destruction across the U.S. from toxic rains – and it appears the first cases are being reported about 400 miles from the Gulf. In fact, hundreds of acres of Tennessee farm land are at risk.

The crops have small, raindrop-sized burn marks on them and while the mainstream media is reporting crop damage, they haven`t yet made the connection between the toxic, chemical-ridden rains and the potential crop failure. It`s being reported that these raindrop-sized burn marks are affecting everything in sight, and no plant is immune. Dead birds are also being found nearby. These crops may fail and if they do survive, it`s likely they`ll be toxic to consume because plants being watered with toxic chemicals will absorb those chemicals into their cells.

So, what can you do? Detoxify your body now and continue to do so regularly in the months and years to come. These chemicals in the air – and likely soon in the drinking water and in crops that do survive – present a very real danger inside our bodies. Thankfully, there are methods to remove these chemicals – but it`s up to you to take the steps to do so.

Last month, something remarkable occurred.

A US government panel stood up and pointed out the link between environmental toxins and cancer.

Wow… what were they thinking? (smirk & tongue firmly in cheek)

I have been saying this for years. How come it took so long for them to learn that the “earth is not flat?”

In a comprehensive, 240-page report, the President’s Cancer Panel declared that Americans are being “bombarded” with cancer-causing chemicals, and that “the true burden of environmentally induced cancers has been grossly underestimated.”

When a mainstream government entity breaks ranks with the traditional medical establishment to report that environment chemicals are threatening our health, it is a truly astonishing event – and a warning we should all heed.

While this report comes from a US government panel, environmental toxins are a global issue. And, according to the World Health Organization, deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue rising, to an estimated 12 million in 2030.

Executive Summary

Despite overall decreases in incidence and mortality, cancer continues to shatter and steal the lives of Americans. Approximately 41 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, and about 21 percent will die from cancer. The incidence of some cancers, including some most common among children, is increasing for unexplained reasons.

Public and governmental awareness of environmental influences on cancer risk and other health issues has increased substantially in recent years as scientific and health care communities, policymakers, and individuals strive to understand and ameliorate the causes and toll of human disease. A growing body of research documents myriad established and suspected environmental factors linked to genetic, immune, and endocrine dysfunction that can lead to cancer and other diseases.

Between September 2008 and January 2009, the President’s Cancer Panel (the Panel) convened four meetings to assess the state of environmental cancer research, policy, and programs addressing known and potential effects of environmental exposures on cancer. The Panel received testimony from 45 invited experts from academia, government, industry, the environmental and cancer advocacy communities, and the public.

This report summarizes the Panel’s findings and conclusions based on the testimony received and additional information gathering. The Panel’s recommendations delineate concrete actions that governments; industry; the research, health care, and advocacy communities; and individuals can take to reduce cancer risk related to environmental contaminants, excess radiation, and other harmful exposures.

If you live in Los Angeles, Detroit, Cairo, or Delhi, air pollution is an unavoidable factor in your overall health picture.

But if you live in Jackson Hole or Montpelier, or some other relatively pristine spot, believe it or not, air pollution is probably still a key health factor.

How can that be? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can be as much as FIVE TIMES more polluted than outdoor air.

For example…

When researchers tested lung function and urine samples in more than 160 subjects over the age of 60 who were living at home, they linked impaired lung function with high urine levels of two volatile organic compounds (VOC): toluene and xylene.

VOCs are chemicals emitted as gasses. And many household products emit VOCs.

Toluene is a very common VOC used in fingernail polish, adhesives, paints, paint thinners, lacquers, and rubber.

Xylene is a toxic petroleum byproduct that’s used in many air fresheners. That’s right–air fresheners.

Xylene has also been associated with headaches and increased risk of cognitive impairment.

The solution? First, get rid of the air fresheners. They don’t “freshen” anything. Second, get rid of household products that contain VOCs. And if you can’t get rid of them, use them with great care (and a protective face mask).

You can read about other dangerous household VOCs in the e- Alert “Springtime Fresh (and Dangerous).”

360 Products

At this current time the information about the products is fairly thin on the ground. I thought I would just share with you what I know about a few of them. The company name is not 360 but this will do for now.

ADAPTOGENS

The company that is being re launched came from a 10 year old company called Cyberwize with about $100 million of annual sales. See www.cyberwize.com. Their focus had been on adaptogens and they provide a unique combination of adaptogens in various delivery systems. These delivery systems include a juice, a purse size spray and a concentrate in drop form.

Just like antioxidants was relatively unknown in the early 90’s and is now widely accepted as important to our health, the story of adaptogens will have the same evolution and we are at the stage when most people do not know about them.

Adaptogens are produced in plants that grow in harsh conditions and these then manufacture chemicals to help the plant survive these harsh conditions. Some examples include Aloe Vera, Siberian Ginseng, Mexican Wild Yam, Australian Bush Plum, Goji Juice etc. When humans consume these plant extracts we obtain the benefits and our body uses these chemicals to help us adapt to various stresses.

Russian scientists initially found these plant chemicals and supplied them to cosmonauts, athletes and workers. The most obvious results were seen in the performance of Olympic athletes in the 1960’s. Chinese athletes and then athletes in the west found out about the “secret” and now nearly all athletes are aware of adaptogens and the benefits that they provide the body to recover from the stresses of extreme exercise and improve performance.

Stress on the body, whether it be from excessive exercise, emotional stress, financial stress or mental stress are all responded to in the same way by the body. Our health suffers if our stress levels are beyond our body’s ability to cope. Taking adaptogens helps our body to cope but we should also be aware that reducing stress is a goal we should all be attempting to achieve.

If you would like to find out more about the adaptogenic products we are likely to be having access to, take a look at www.tunguskablast.com . All Tunguska Mist products contain a proprietary adaptogen blend of up to 14 powerful botanicals. Of the 30 known adaptogens, this company uses 22 in its proprietary formulas.

The REALLY unique part of this is the story of the Tunguska Blast. In 1908 “something” exploded above the Tunguska River valley in the Siberian wilderness. As a result, the plant life was “altered” and regrew 3-4 times more vigorously. It took a while but scientists investigated this phenomenon and the result was the discovery of adaptogens. You can investigate more about the story by visiting www.googlevideo.com and searching for Tunguska. I found a 46 minute presentation at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2606492338396218330# that was very interesting.

Wee Wikipedia for adaptogen definition – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptogen

POLYSACCHARIDES

One of their other products is called Vital PSP + (Poly Saccharide Plus). I have known about polysaccharides for about 12 years and have seen amazing health improvements when these components are added to the diet. It will be VERY interesting to see what kind of results we see with this product. Keep watching this space.

The following information was extracted from www.cyberwize.com  by clicking on Products then Vital PSP+

A Remarkable Whole Food Supplement!

Vital PSP+ is a synergy of all-natural native strains of rice processed into a complex formulation of carbohydrates, crude protein, and essential vitamins and minerals small enough to be 100% assimilated at the cellular level.

Enhancing and Regenerating

Cultivated in organic soil enriched with spirulina, Vital PSP+ combines PolySaccharidePeptides, essential minerals, amino acids, and Vitamin B complex. This potent mix boosts glucose uptake at the cellular level, which enhances the function of the circulatory and immune systems, triggering the body’s natural powers to regenerate and heal.

MOUTH CARE

Biowize Gum- A natural gum with xylitol to improve mouth health.
Corinne and the kids love this product and said they want more. Go figure!

MORE

I am not sure how many of the www.cyberwize.com  products we will have access to but it already looks like a significant range of products that I am sure people will find something that will allow them to be buying enough points each month to sustain the business model that is available to us all.

IN THE PIPELINE

We have also been advised of a product being worked on that contains z……. that are fantastic at detoxifying the body.

A discount travel program.

Technology products such as laptops and mobile phones.

I have no details on these but that should not stop you from sharing the information we have at the moment and I am sure we will be informed more as we get closer to the launch date of May 15th.

(NaturalNews) Autism is a disease characterized by impaired communication and social development, and one in 110 children these days is being diagnosed with autism related problems. Autism is often associated with heavy metals in the body, particularly mercury, which is a toxic metal known to cause brain and neurological damage. Unfortunately, mercury is often injected into infants in vaccines and it’s not uncommon for toddlers to begin exhibiting autism symptoms shortly after being vaccinated. Mercury is also regularly present in the mother’s body; common sources include the metal fillings in her mouth, her own vaccines, and even eating fish that have become polluted due to our toxic environment. In fact, when the umbilical cord blood of newborns is tested, mercury is regularly found.

Given the degree of the problem and the destruction it causes, perhaps taking some steps to prevent autism is something you’ll want to consider. If so, here are some easy ways to do it…

1. Don’t vaccinate yourself or your children. It should go without saying that toxic metals that are known to cause brain damage don’t belong in the body and it’ll be a bright day when the medical community also recognizes this obvious truth. But, until then consider your sources for your health information very carefully.

2. If you’re forced to vaccinate or it’s already been done, begin eating plenty of organic cilantro each day to help detoxify those heavy metals from the body. Cilantro is well known to remove heavy metals and you’ll probably want to start a hearty cilantro regime for a few weeks after any exposure, in addition to consuming it regularly. Especially for children and infants, cilantro can be juiced with apples or carrots and consumed that way.

3. Get the mercury out of your mouth, particularly if you’re having children. Mercury in your mouth is constantly circulated throughout the body by the blood and it courses through a developing fetus – even before the blood brain barrier is formed. Obviously, never allow a “silver” filling to be put in your child’s mouth and if your dentist still uses them, perhaps you want to reconsider your dentist as well. Consumer choice can speak loudly when lots of people are exercising it.

4. Detoxify your body deeply – especially before becoming pregnant. Creating and providing a clean home for your child in the first nine months of development should be something that’s commonly done, but few parents even think of it. When researchers are regularly finding hundreds of toxic chemicals in the umbilical cord blood of infants, deep detoxification can no longer be overlooked.

5. Avoid processed foods and junk foods while you’re pregnant. Processed and junk foods are packed with chemicals that your developing child doesn’t need exposure to. After they’re born, keep those substances out of their mouths as well. By doing so, you’ll go along way to prevent many different diseases, not just brain dysfunction and disorders.

6. Breastfeed your infant for a year or longer to get their immune system headed in the right direction. If for some reason breastfeeding isn’t an option, be sure to regularly feed your infant coconut oil and liquid probiotics to give them the health and immunity building substances that nature provides in breast milk.

7. Consume red beets regularly to help your body detoxify itself and remove many poisons and chemicals. Mercury is far from the only common, toxic substance that causes brain and neurological problems. And when we’re looking at a problem of this magnitude, it’s important not to pigeonhole either your understanding or your solutions.

Dr John Gray talks with Ron Reid on Alkalzed Water

100301-DrJohnGray-RonReid

Approximately 17 cents out of every dollar is spent on healthcare (sickness care) and it’s growing every day. The statistics on the needs for health care are outrageous!

40% of western society is now considered overweight. And 40% of those are considered obese. Why is this so when we have the best food available?

It’s because we have been lulled into a false sense of security by the major food suppliers telling us we need to eat their packaged food. These foods are devoid of nourishment and provide what is called “empty calories” – foods with no nutritional value.

Read through your history books. Influenza and other simple ailments have killed more people than all the wars put together.

The medical fraternity have long been predicting a “pandemic” (global plague) like no other ever seen on the planet. The Black Plague will seem like a cough compared to it. And it’s because the average person’s immune system is not ready to cope with the attack.Do you want to be protected from this potential plague or become a statistic?

Every degenerative disease condition is on the rise!

95% of all people in westernised countries will die from one of 3 major chronic diseases – Cancer, Heart Disease & Diabetes.

Iatrogenisis

Iatrogenesis: The #3 cause of death in the western world.

What is it? Death caused by Medical Treatment or Advice.

If you die BECAUSE of your medical practitioner then they almost never admit it was their fault because of unnecessary surgery, drug overdose or complications brought on by legally prescribed drugs. (eg Michael Jackson…)

And these alarming statistics are on the rise.

Over 100,00 people per year die BECAUSE of visiting their doctor or hospital. And that statistic does not include the number of people whose life suffers but do not die…

Would YOU like to subject yourself to that?

What Impacts Wellness?

We have developed what we call “The 7 Pillars of Wellness” Positively address all seven and you are well on the way to perfect health.

Each pillar can be divided down into sections, but here is a quick summary.

1 – Energy

Matter is just solid energy!

Electro-Magnetic Radiation (EMR) is all around us. Man-made technologies (such as mobile phones, computers, microwave ovens) are constantly spitting out electromagnetic frequencies that are damaging our health.

Energy Medicine is now defined as any technology that provides protection from damaging radiation, restores our personal energy back to optimal, monitors our energy status, and applies therapy to treat current ailments. We need to look after our energy in order to keep us well.

And then there’s the subtle energies. The ones that science is still learning about. They are so minute that science has not developed detection methods. But they are there and they can get confused by our modern lifestyle.

Energy is the foundation of all life! If your energy levels are low or our of harmony then all other processes will be compromised.

2 – Water

We are electric beings and water is require to make our bodies conduct electricity. Electricity is required to run our brain, to send communication from our brain to our nerves, between our organs, to stimulate cell production, to do a whole host of autonomic processes. Things we are usually not even aware of. Without minerals in the water the water will not conduct. That’s why we need a full complement of minerals (micronutrients) from our food. To make the electrolytes. Water also needs to be slightly alkaline in order to provide a buffer so our body and most of all our blood has the ability to stay at a constant 7.35pH.

3 – Toxicity

Heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, pollution all impact our body’s ability to repair and regenerate. We cannot escape from them. Toxins are everywhere. We need to avoid them and remove whatever toxins we have acquired over our lifetime and continue to acquire daily.

4 – Stress

Physical, financial, emotional, nutritional stresses deplete our systems and reduce our ability to repair cellular damage. Stress is actually a unique form of toxicity when it has a negative impact on our bodies. Nutrients are used up as much as 100 times faster when we are stressed. It’s no wonder we get sick when we are stressed. Our immune system is getting used up faster than we can put the nutrients in. That’s what we need to increase our intake of nutrients when we are stressed

5 – Nutrition

Starvation Type A is lack of food macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates & fats). This is what occurs in the starving African nations. They just don’t get enough calories to move their bodies. This is very rare in western society. Starvation Type B, however is seen in vast quantities in western society. It is caused by a lack of micronutrients (glyconutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, phytonutrients etc) We are eating, overprocessed, denatured or even toxic foods. We get enough calories (the logs) but not enough micronutrients to “start the fire” (the spark and twigs)

Genetics – This is what you are born with. It has been said that you cannot change your genetics. Well that’s just not so. Learn more about “epigenetics” and you will learn that your genes “express” themselves through micronutrients on their surface. Genes are blocked and altered by toxins too. It has recently been shown that many genetic errors CAN be corrected by increasing micronutrient uptake and energy balancing to correct errors in gene expression.

6 – Exercise & Activity

Exercise & activity is good stress.

Without exercise and activity our skeletal and muscular systems break down so we must MOVE every day. Astronauts can lose up to 30% of their bone density in 6 months in outer space, just through reduced exercise.

We must walk at least 5 kilometres EVERY day to pump toxins from our bodies and lift heavy things in order to trigger our cells to rebuild themselves.

7 – Rest & Sleep

We all know what it feels like to miss a night’s sleep. The next day we are lethargic, irritable and lack focus. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture.

Continued lack of rest, poor or interrupted sleep can lead to to system degradation and eventual failure which is synonymous with lack of health and the onset of disease.

All animals require rest and sleep for recovery and repair. An elite athlete cannot just keep exercising. If they did then their bodies would eventually fail.

Good exercise is maximised when you interleave it with periods of rest. Muscles actually require rest between periods of stress to allow them the opportunity to rebuild.

U.S. manufacturers, including major drugmakers, have legally released at least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often provide drinking water — contamination the federal government has consistently overlooked, according to an Associated Press investigation.

Hundreds of active pharmaceutical ingredients are used in a variety of manufacturing, including drugmaking: For example, lithium is used to make ceramics and treat bipolar disorder; nitroglycerin is a heart drug and also used in explosives; copper shows up in everything from pipes to contraceptives.

Federal and industry officials say they don’t know the extent to which pharmaceuticals are released by U.S. manufacturers because no one tracks them — as drugs. But a close analysis of 20 years of federal records found that, in fact, the government unintentionally keeps data on a few, allowing a glimpse of the pharmaceuticals coming from factories.

As part of its ongoing PharmaWater investigation about trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals in drinking water, AP identified 22 compounds that show up on two lists: the EPA monitors them as industrial chemicals that are released into rivers, lakes and other bodies of water under federal pollution laws, while the Food and Drug Administration classifies them as active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The 35-year-old federal law (USA) regulating tap water is so out of date that the water Americans drink can pose what scientists say are serious health risks — and still be legal.

Only 91 contaminants are regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, yet more than 60,000 chemicals are used within the United States, according to Environmental Protection Agency estimates. Government and independent scientists have scrutinized thousands of those chemicals in recent decades, and identified hundreds associated with a risk of cancer and other diseases at small concentrations in drinking water, according to an analysis of government records by The New York Times.

But not one chemical has been added to the list of those regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act since 2000.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has recently adopted new guidelines regarding the usage of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. These guidelines will affect you as Associates because, in the view of the FTC, you are considered endorsers. “Advertising” is also a general term defined as “verbal statements, demonstrations, or depictions of the name, signature, likeness or other identifying personal characteristics of an individual or the name or seal of an organization” and is not restricted to paid placements in media.

A PDF of the Revised Endorsement and Testimonial Guides is available in our downloads section here. The new language and rules are very strict. All Associates should take time to read this document and become familiar with the FTC’s new requirements.You may also wish to view several FTC videos available here, but it is not a substitute for reading the new rules.

Statements such as “results not typical” or even “these testimonials are based on the experiences of a few people and you are not likely to have similar results,” while formerly helpful, will no longer protect you or Max against possible FTC sanctions.
