Notes From the Experts

Notes From the Experts

On the personal side, the last few days have been much better than last week.  Leland is feeling a little better, has a little more energy.  He is still losing weight-2 more pounds this week. He told me the other day if this keeps on I will have to tie him on a string and fly him down the road when it is windy.  : )    He is keeping the laundry folded and yesterday was able to turn on our outside water and part of the drip irrigation system.  He was tired when finished with that and rested the rest of the day except for taking his walks.

Thank you Kathy and Dan and Kathy W for coming out this weekend to mow, sow, smash and sweep, deliver groceries and help with other chores besides visiting.   Very much appreciated!

Our spirits are good, we are still walking faithfully and eating very well in spite of the deletions which had to be made, and he is getting plenty of rest. God has promised to be with us in trouble, and He has been!

I am starting a new section of this update which I will call Notes From the Experts in which I will be sharing abbreviated observations from the reading which has become an on-going project for me. I will appreciate comments on this, particularly would appreciate them being made on the blog itself so others may read them.  You do not have to identify yourself if you don’t wish to.

Please read the instructions Mark posted last week if you are having difficulty figuring out how to make a comment.  Leland did that yesterday and it worked. 

Notes From the Experts # 1

1.       One of the easiest anti-cancer  strategies to implement is getting rid of fluoride.  If in municipal water district, filter it.  Use fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash.   It requires a little searching but can be found in health food stores, Fred Myers Health Food section, and in numerous other places. 

Why this helps:  Fluoride is a very toxic and carcinogenic substance. It can boost the potency of other carcinogens and increase tumor growth by as much as 25 percent…..Cancer death rates are higher in cities with fluoridated water, and especially higher for those over age 65.

Fluoride can damage the DNA repair enzymes with are especially important in preventing cancer.  

Fluorididated water should be filtered before drinking or cooking with it.  As the water is evaporated away during the cooking process, the fluoride is concentrated and clings to the food. Many commercial fruit juices are manufactured from concentrates; are  then reconstituted with fluoridated water, bringing the concentrations even higher.

2.       Stay hydrated!  The body rids itself of toxins including those detoxified by the liver,  by dissolving them in the fluid between the cells, which is derived from the water we drink. Most people are chronically dehydrated and especially after the age of 50.
