Sugar! Ouch!

2008-11-30T09:22:00.000-08:00

SUGAR: Refined Sugar, Corn Syrup, Maltodextrin, Sucrose, Dextrose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and all the foods that contain these subatances create havoc in your body.

1. They paralyze the immune system for 4 to 5 hours every time you consume them.

2. In order for the body to metabolize these substances your body has to donate vital nutrients from various organs, think tooth decay as one donor, but also all other organs of the body as a whole are donors. Great way to weaken your entire system and to rob it of its vitality.

3. These substances make the PH of your body create an acid environment, which is conducive to sickness and disease.

4. They also feed cancer like gasoline fuels a fire!

5. Inflammation is the result of consuming these highly refined sweets.

GOOD NEWS!

In November, 2007, Tracy received a phone call from a gal named Odel. She was scared and desperate because of a recent diagnosis. Her arteries were clogged and her doctor said she was in need of open heart surgery. She did NOT want to go that route if there was an option. Tracy told her it would take several months, but if she cooperated wholeheartedly with his suggestions, she would probably find the relief she was looking for.

He told her to quit eating sugars and corn syrups or anything with those ingredients because they cause inflammation. He also highly suggested that she take 2 Powerzyme and 2 Radically Free 4 times a day on an empty stomach. (Powerzyme, when taken on an empty stomach, instead of digesting food, will work in the blood stream by digesting fats and other undesirable deposits. Radically Free will strengthen the arterial walls.)

Tracy received a call 6 months later from an ecstatic Odel. Her doctors gave her a clean “bill of health”. There was no arterial clogging anywhere and NO NEED FOR SURGERY!! Since then Odel has recommended many of her friends to Entrenet Nutritionals.

Note: Find the link “Entrenet Nutritionals” under Recommended Links to sign up as a distributor (free) to order (with a discount) Powerzyme, Radically Free, and many other awesome nutritional products, including a delicious whey protein powder sweetened with stevia rather than sugar. My husband and I love these products. We have experienced a significant improvement in our health by using them.

Lose Weight . . . Lower Cholesterol and Blood Pressure . . . Prevent Heart Disease and Cancer . . . and much, much more.

In Italy olive oil has always been an integral part of the culture. But they also have long known of its health benefits and healing properties. Whether it is a case of sunburn, persistent earaches, or dry hair, they have traditionally turned to olive oil.

Now, new research highlighting the healing qualities of extra virgin olive oil not only confirms these uses, but reveals even more beneficial effects from its use.

Whether it’s heart disease, diabetes, digestion, or age-related deterioration, olive oil has been shown to be beneficial in its prevention and treatment.

did you know that......

Calves that are fed pasteurized milk, rather than raw milk, die within 60 days. The pasteurizing process kills important enzymes and reduces the vitamin content by over 50%. It also kills the friendly bacteria which holds the putrefactive bacteria in check.

Homogenizing milk has been linked to hardening of the arteries and heart disease. It causes the fat molecules to be greatly reduced in size, allowing them to pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream.

Excessive intake of animal protein increases the need for calcium to neutralize the acid produced in its digestion. Our bones are broken down to free up calcium to neutralize this acid. Thus, drinking processed milk destroys bone density in the course of its digestion.

People on high protein diets excrete between 90 - 100 mg. of calcium a day.

The Importance of High pH

2008-05-29T18:06:00.000-07:00

It is essential to understand the importance of pH and its relationship to your health. The symbol “pH” is used to describe acidity or alkalinity on a scale of 0 (more acidic) to 14 (more alkaline). pH testing strips can be purchased at you local drug store. These can be used to test the pH of your saliva or urine.

The pH level of your body is significant to your state of health. Bacteria and viruses will not thrive when your pH level is 7 or higher. In the cycle of nature, it is acid that triggers decomposition. Daily application of acidic products to your skin, over time, causes premature aging.

There are many factors that affect your pH level. Diets high in fresh fruits and vegetables and low in cooked foods (cooking kills enzymes and acidifies food) can boost your alkaline level. It is essential to keep your body free of toxic buildup with healthy elimination, exercise, and proper skin hygiene. It is also important to stay adequately hydrated with plenty of pure water.

Why Use All Natural Skin Care Products?

2008-05-26T11:37:00.000-07:00

Have you ever counted how many cosmetics or personal care products you use in a day?

According to a survey by the Environmental Working Group (EWG)) and a coalition of public interest and environmental health organizations, the average adult uses 9 personal care products each day. This produces repeated exposure to an average of 126 Different chemical ingredients on a daily basis.

On average, 60% of what you apply to your skin is absorbed into your body. This number may be higher when the widely used ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is included in a product. It has the effect of allowing chemicals to penetrate your skin more easily. With repeated exposure to multiple chemicals linked to common health hazards, the potential adverse effect on your health is very real.

It is a little known fact that our government does not mandate safety studies on cosmetics and skin care products. 89% of the 10,500 ingredients that the FDA has documented in personal care products have not been assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry’s review panel, the FDA, or any publicly accountable institution. Consumers assume that if a product is sold to the public, it must be safe.

It is not commonly known that industrial chemicals are basic ingredients in many personal care products. Products often contain carcinogens, reproductive toxins, harmful surfactants, endocrine disruptors and pesticides—all of these to be applied to the human body!

More than one-third of all personal care products contain at least one ingredient linked to cancer. Added fragrances, present in at least 50% of all personal care products, often contain a dangerous cocktail of chemicals, some neurotoxic.

According to the FDA and industry reviews, 70% of all personal care products have ingredients that may contain harmful impurities, including carcinogens. The absorption of these ingredients is often intensified by other ingredients that facilitate product penetration into the bloodstream.

Some parabens (chemicals such as Methylparaben and Propylparaben) are potential endocrine disruptors. This raises concern for the possibility of increased risk for cancer (especially breast cancer), decreased fertility, and impaired fetal development.

When risky chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes are high. Chemicals are the base ingredients in most skin care products, not just trace amounts like the part-per-million or part-per-billion found in food or water. Nearly all chemicals found in skin care products penetrate the skin easily.

Why would we want to be guinea pigs for the skin care industry? It is time to start reading labels and choosing safe and natural personal care products for ourselves, our families, and our environment.
