Zetox- New Zeolite Detoxification Product Coming Soon

Regal Supplements has announced that they will be releasing a new health supplement soon. This supplement has been designed to address the growing concern of heavy metal and chemical pollution in our environment.

We are exposed to a myriad of toxins in our day to day life. There are approximately 700 new chemicals produced every year, and they find their way into out food, water and even the air we breathe. (source) Although our body is designed to filter out toxins, we have not evolved to handle the amount of toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. 

Many supplements and diets have hit the market in past years to address this problem of internal pollution. Often they are targeted treatments aimed at clean out the digestive system. Zetox, according to the formulator, has been designed to get right into the bloodstream and attract heavy metals and foreign chemicals that have found their way into the body’s cells.

The Word Police Are Out Of Control.

Last week, in one of the most ridiculous examples of government stupidity ever, the European Food Standards Authority disallowed the claim that water prevents dehydration. It appears that government officials have thrown common sense aside in their bid to regulate every nutrient that people put in their mouths.

GRAPES

Every Day Foods That Kill Cancer and Contribute to Health

Grapes have been farmed for about 8000 years, starting in the Middle East. Yeast, which is found on the skin of grapes, led to the production of wine, with the first wineries being dated to around 4000 BC. Purple grapes are native to North America in the wild, and were a staple in the diet of many Indian tribes.

Today, I think, many of us take grapes for granted, and they are often overlooked from a nutritional standpoint. Sure, most of us have heard about resveretrol, but I think there is often a disconnect between the nutrients scientists isolate in the lab, and the food that we put on our table.

Grapes are easy to come by today. They are in nearly every grocery store, market and convenience store across North America. In Eastern and Mediterranean regions grapes are a staple food, but in North American, people eat less fruits and vegetables and more grains and animal protein.

So what is it that makes a grape one of the foods worth adding to your diet?

• Low Glycemic Index- Even though grapes taste sweet, they have a relatively low glycemic index. This means they provide the benefit of better blood sugar control. Science has proven that an increase consumption of grapes, and grape products such as juice, are associated with better insulin control, and lower insulin resistance.

What Dosage of Zeolite Should I take?

This is a question most people want to know, and of course it is different for each brand and there are so many brands on the market today, but here are some general guidelines you can follow for the 2 most popular types of zeolite, namely zeolite powder and liquid zeolite. If you have questions about other brands, follow the label, but don’t get too stressed. It is impossible to overdose on liquid forms of this supplement, given that there are very small amounts in the bottles.

What do the Scientific Studies on Zeolite Say?

First, according to the scientific studies, the recommended dosage for general maintenance and prevention is 2.5 to 5 grams. In practical terms, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of powdered micronized clinoptilolite will deliver the amount recommended in the scientific literature.

There have been a number of studies and anecdotal evidence that using this mineral orally could be beneficial in removing heavy metals and toxins, as well as studies in which patients used the powder form as an adjunct to conventional cancer treatments. The big question is, how do the supplements on the market today measure up to the studies?

Zeolite Brands

The popular powdered is cleaned micronized zeolite powder with 5000 mg in one measured teaspoon. That makes it easy doesn’t it? 1 teaspoon a day matches up with what we have learned. For acute health issues, the recommend 1 teaspoon 3 X a day mixed in water or juice should do it.

This company also serves zeolite in capsules. Their encapsulated clinoptilolite products have either 800 or 900 mg per capsule, so in order to get your 2.5-5 grams a day you would take 3-6 capsules.

Do Not Let Your Children Get The Flu Shot

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is not contagious.

It is an autoimmune disorder that develops when a person's own immune system attacks and damages the myelin sheath of the body's nerves, causing muscle weakeness and paralysis.

GBS symptoms can last for a few weeks or months or can become permanent.

In rare cases, people die from GBS, usually because they cannot breathe.

In the U.S., an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people develop GBS annually.

Some healthy people, who develop GBS, have recently recovered from a viral or bacterial infection within the previous 4-8 weeks but others have recently been vaccinated.

The inactivated influenza vaccine has been associated with development of GBS since 1976, when an inactivated "swine flu" shot given to millions of healthy Americans caused GBS in several hundred previously healthy Americans and there were 30 deaths.

Are Flu Shots Necessary?

Well it's "that" time of year again. As we get closer to the holiday season, we are more likely to have visions of syringes dancing in our heads. This is the time of year that the media, spurred on by the CDC and the Pharmaceutical lobby, start their annual 'get a flu shot' campaign. The question I always ask is "are the flu shots necessary?"

When my children were little we all got a flu shot every year. My son had pneumonia a time or two before he was two years old. He had a weakened immune system (that we much later suspected it was as a result of a milk allergy we didn't know about). I also was a registered nurse, working at the community hospital, and bringing all the world's germs home on my uniform. The flu shot was required for staff who had direct contact with patients, and I gladly took it. 

Do I take the flu shot now? No. My children are grown, my husband and I are still middle aged and healthy, I eat well, choose to consume super-foods like chlorella, mushrooms etc. I take a multivitamin, extra C, D, zeolite and a healthy wallop of fish oil every day. I haven't had a cold in a couple of years, where as when my kids were little I was sick every other week for 10 days at a time! 

My husband gets a wee cold only slightly more frequently than I do. We aren't elderly or frail, we don't have a lung condition or any other kind of issue that would cause concern should one of us actually come down with a flu. 

I find, in the past few years, there has been a literal frenzy of media alarmist reporting on flu related issues. Flu deaths aren't any higher now than they were decades ago but every time one happens, the media go into a tailspin reporting it. Things seem much worse than they are, I believe. 

So what about the 2011-2012 flu season year? The CDC is making very few recommended changes this year over last. This is what the CDC says

Scams Hurt Everybody

In any industry there are good and bad companies, products and people. We live in an imperfect world. So although it stings at the time, no one is REALLY surprised when a bad apple or two shows up on their tree.

In the area of nutritional supplements there is a wide window of opportunity for people to create
