Garlic
Garlic contains chemical compounds that are antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and even anticarcinogenic.  Studies have also shown that it can help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.  Fresh garlic is best, as these beneficial nutrients are lost within one hour of smashing the cloves.  Add fresh garlic to your daily diet instead of supplements for this reason.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms are loaded with nutrients and minerals like vitamins B, C, and D, calcium, protein, and fiber.  The nutrients found especially in the Reishi, Shiitake and Maitake varieties are well known for their ability to activate and enhance the immune system.

Berries
Raspberries and blueberries in specific are extremely high in antioxidants that help boost your immune function by fighting off free radicals that can contribute to a number of health concerns.  Blueberries in particular can also keep bacteria from bonding to cells in the urinary tract, and therefore help prevent infection.

Broccoli
Broccoli is full of immune boosting nutrients including vitamin C, fiber, and even beta carotene which is good for the eyes as well as the immune system.  It also contains chemical compounds that have been shown to stop growth of cancer cells.

Microwave popcorn

Chemicals that can be found in the lining of the bag itself have been linked to human infertility, and in animal testing they have caused various types of cancer including liver, pancreatic, and testicular.  Studies have shown that the process of microwaving can cause these chemicals to vaporize and therefore migrate into your popcorn.

Milk produced with artificial hormones

Some, but not all dairy farmers treat their cattle with growth hormones to increase milk production, and thereby profits.  These hormones can also increase infections and because of that, possibly even pus in the milk.  This also increases production of insulin like hormones in the milk which can contribute to colon, breast, and prostate cancers in humans.

White flour

All of the good nutrients in flour are removed during processing, and then it is bleached with a chemical agent that is very similar to the same bleach you use in cleaning and laundry.  Some vitamins get added in the final processes, and it's passed off as "enriched".  What most people don't know is that this so called "enriched" flour can cause increases in blood sugar that rival refined sugar.

Vegetable oils

For a long time the experts have told us how much healthier and beneficial oils like canola, corn, and soy are.  The problem with this lies in their transformation into cooking oils.  This process includes heavy refinement that can make them oxidized and therefore toxic.  A much healthier option is coconut oil, which does not oxidize.  For higher heats try grapeseed oil, or extra virgin olive oil for light cooking.

Last week we received an email from a customer sharing their story and results from using OraMD Extra Strength. Keep in mind that these results may not be typical, but were so outstanding nonetheless that they asked us to feature it. It is a true testament to the fact that dedication to good oral hygiene practices combined with the bacteria fighting power of OraMD Extra Strength can yeild amazing results over time.

-TESTIMONIAL-

For the first 9 months, results seemed painfully slow and my periodontist felt that any improvement she could see in my gums was purely down to the efforts of herself and the dental hygienist. (I had not told her I was using Ora MD).  At this time my deepest periodontal pockets, had reduced to a maximum of 6mm and my gums were a nice shade of pink, for the first time.


I continued to floss and used Ora MD  Extra Strength and after 24 months I was amazed by the fact that I no longer had ANY loose teeth. Furthermore, all "puffiness" of my gums was gone and my teeth seemed to actually "fit" my mouth properly due to the loss of inflammation that had existed with my gums.


Today, I visited my periodontist and after using Ora MD Extra Strength for 3 years I can reveal what my periodontist finally said to me. (Quote)


"You have made a rare but remakable recovery. Your deepest pockets are currently 2mm maximum and you no longer have any loose teeth. Your gums have grown back, stronger, firmer  and healthier than they have ever been and I predict that within a few months you will not need to visit me (a periodontist) anymore. You no longer have gum disease."


All this from the same person who, 3 years ago had said gum disease could NOT be cured or reversed. I am living proof to everyone that gum disease CAN be reversed and most certainly worked for me - FACT.


Despite what all the so called dental "experts" tell you,  the human body WILL and DOES heal itself naturally if you simply give it a chance. Ora MD is a natural remedy and I now know that their really is an alternative to tooth loss and dentures if you simply give it a try and don't lose hope.


I would like to thank Trusted Health Products, yet again, for saving my teeth. This remarkable formula is so easy to use, but is devastatingly effective. I will admit  that I don't exactly understand the medical principles how this formula works, only that it  DOES work  FANTASTICALLY well.


As they say, you don't have to understand the principle of internal combustion to drive a car, but you do have to turn the key. ORA MD is the key to reversing gum disease. You only have to try it to be convinced.

Desiree Jennings, who had been married just 2 years and was training to be an NFL cheerleader and run in a half marathon now struggles to walk, eat, and even speak after a reaction to the seasonal flu vaccine.  Desiree received her flu shot in August, and 10 days afterward developed a neurological disorder called Dystonia.  This was in reaction to the neurotoxin, mercury, that is very prevalent in the vaccine.  Her muscles jerk and contract when she tries to walk forward, and even prevents her from speaking normally.  However, she can walk backwards or run just fine, and even speaks normally when running.  Truly a shame, and all because of the dangerous  ingredients and the fewer regulations that manufacturers must go through.

October is National Dental Hygiene Month, and we at THP would like to take a few moments to remind or inform you of how to keep your mouth in mint condition with good oral hygeine and OraMD.

It's estimated that 75% of Americans have some form of periodontal disease, and unhealthy conditions in the mouth like that can often be attributed to poor oral hygiene. These same conditions can also generally be corrected, or prevented in the first place by adopting good oral hygiene practices. This includes brushing, flossing, gargling, and in cases of bad breath or halitosis, many turn to mints or gum to mask odor. However, many of the over-the-counter products that are advertised to help improve these conditions actually contain ingredients that contribute to poor oral health.

OraMD contains ingredients that are 100% all natural, and proven to be anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal and can replace all of the chemical laden products you might normally use, including toothpaste, mouthwash, and even mints or gum.

To use as toothpaste, put 2-5 drops of OraMD on your toothbrush and brush as normal. Flossing is an important part of good oral hygiene, as it removes food particles and plaque from the spaces between teeth that your brush will not reach. Some people prefer to use an oral irrigator in place of floss to clean between teeth with pressurized water. OraMD can be added to the water used for irrigation for an enhanced anti-bacterial effect, but it is important to remember that OraMD can sometimes damage cheaper plastic components. To avoid this, flush your irrigator immediately after use with medium-to-hot water for 20-30 seconds. OraMD can be used as a mouth rinse simply by diluting 2-5 drops in an ounce of water and gargling. You can also apply a few drops directly onto the tongue to coat the mouth and remove the cause of bad breath.

We are honored once again to feature a guest post by world renowned dentist Dr. Tom McGuire, DDS.


Strictly speaking, the term “mercury free” refers to dentists who do not put amalgam fillings in their patients’ teeth. But over time, the term “mercury free” came to indicate those dentists who not only didn’t put mercury amalgam fillings into their patients teeth but those who also safely removed them.


However, mercury free isn’t really an accurate description because as long as dentists still remove amalgam fillings, their offices can’t officially be called “mercury free.” Therefore, mercury safe is a more accurate description of those who not only don’t put amalgam fillings in teeth, but also remove them as safely as possible. Thus, I encourage true mercury free dentists use the term “mercury safe” to describe themselves if they not only do not place amalgam fillings but also uses a safe protocol to remove them.  You can Click Here to access a list of the removal protocols and read why they are so important. To access the most extensive listing of dentists who will safely remove amalgam fillings Click Here: Mercury Free and Mercury Safe Holistic Dentists.


Today it’s even more important for dental patients to know the difference between a mercury free and mercury safe dentist. In 2008, for the first time, over 50% of general dentists no longer use amalgam, primarily because it simply isn’t a good filling when compared to the newer composites. Because they no longer us mercury amalgam fillings, these dentists are now promoting their practices as being “mercury free”.


However, that doesn’t mean that they believe mercury fillings are a health hazard, or will use established and safe removal protocols to protect patients from excessive exposure to mercury during amalgam removal. Bottom line . . . you can’t assume that a dentist who advertises his or her practice as being “mercury free”, is also “mercury safe”! You must take the responsibility to specifically ask if they are also mercury safe.


The Difference between a Mercury Safe and a Pro-Mercury Amalgam Dentist
By the third year of dental school, every dental student knows how to remove and replace amalgam fillings. In private practice every pro-amalgam dentist removes and replaces old amalgam fillings with new amalgams many times a day. Removing amalgams without using a safe protocol is a simple and quick process. What really separates mercury-safe and pro-amalgam dentists is that mercury safe dentists know that:


·    amalgam fillings continuously release poisonous mercury vapor and are a health hazard.
·    the mercury released from amalgam fillings negatively affects your health.
·    patients need to be protected from exposure to toxic mercury vapor during the amalgam removal process.


Mercury safe dentists also have the specialized equipment, training, experience and skills necessary to minimize your exposure to mercury during amalgam removal.


While I absolutely respect the right of pro-amalgam dentists to expose themselves to mercury, I don’t believe they have the right to expose their patients, their staff and the environment to mercury—just because they’ve chosen to believe what the because they've chosen to believe what the ADA tells them; that mercury amalgam fillings are safe.


It’s one thing to believe that the mercury released from a patient’s amalgam fillings on a daily basis isn’t a health hazard. But it’s another thing entirely not to offer the dental patient protection against mercury vapor exposure during the removal process. These are really two separate issues because there’s a huge difference between the amount of mercury emitted from the fillings on a daily basis and the amount released during their removal at the dental office, up to a 1000 times more during unsafe removal.


If you want to have your amalgam fillings removed I can’t stress enough the importance of finding a mercury safe dentist who has the qualifications to safely remove them. It may cost a little more to get this kind of protection, but it’s well worth it.


Another advantage of going to a mercury safe dentist is that you won’t have to debate why you believe amalgam fillings are a health hazard, why you want them removed, and why you want to minimize your exposure to mercury during the process. In fact, no regulatory agency, scientist, or health professional would ever suggest not doing everything possible to minimize your exposure to mercury, regardless of its source; except for one group—pro-amalgam dentists.


Amazingly, the dental profession uses more mercury per year than any other business. In fact, it's the only industry using elemental mercury that isn't regulated by the government. Hopefully that will change soon but in the meantime you can minimize your exposure to mercury during amalgam removal by making sure they are removed by a mercury safe dentist!

To learn more about the health hazards of mercury amalgam fillings and how gum disease damages overall health, I encourage you to visit my website, www.dentalwellness4u.com. For those of you who want to know the truth about amalgam fillings and what you need to do about them, I suggest you read my book, The Poison in Your Teeth: Mercury Amalgam (Silver) Fillings . . . Hazardous to Your Health!

Stress will be the end of you. If you let it, that is. Daily stress can add up and seriously bring you down, causing anxiety, depression, and even anger issues. What many don’t realize is the havoc it can wreak on your immune system and overall body function. If it gets out of control it can increase cholesterol, blood pressure, weight gain, and cause insomnia, headaches, acne, and even hair loss. Take appropriate time to unwind and clear your head daily. Meditation with focused, deep breaths is a great way to reduce the silent killer that is stress.

Go for your regular checkups, at least annually. Men tend to avoid going to the doctor much more than women. Perhaps it’s the can-do, tough attitude that they can get better on their own. Maybe it’s for fear of bad news, or not feeling the necessity since you “feel fine”. Feeling fine often has little to do with actual health though. High blood pressure, cholesterol, or even diabetes will rarely present themselves in ways you’re likely to notice right off the bat. Suck it up, be a man, and get checked out.

While we’re on the subject of things men are uncomfortable with, one of the most important things to monitor as men age is the prostate. Prostate cancer results in 250,000 deaths per year worldwide. Early symptoms are primarily found in the urinary system, where tumors can press against the bladder and cause either more frequent urinating, or trouble urinating. It can eventually spread to the lymph nodes in the pelvis, and eventually into bones. The exam may be a scary thought for a lot of men, but the possible repercussions are much more so.

As the seasonal winds of change blow from hot and humid to cool and crisp, allergy sufferers don’t get the break that they deserve. Even though flowers and trees are no longer in bloom, one of the biggest offenders doesn’t begin to pollinate until late August. Even though it may not grow anywhere near where you live or work, ragweed pollen can be spread over one hundred miles through the air. Another of fall’s notable culprits is mold, which grows in cool and damp areas. It can develop in the air ducts of your home, and especially in piles of wet leaves and the like.

Though the weather may be cooling off, it may still be a good idea to keep windows closed. Especially between 10 am and 3 pm, this is when pollen counts are usually at their peak. It’s also a good practice to have all the vents and air ducts in your home cleaned out prior to firing up the furnace for the first time of the season. Mold and dust mites that can build up in them over the summer will easily get stirred up and spread around the home.

Eating more foods like citrus, apples, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and broccoli can help supply your body with a natural antihistamine, quercetin. It stabilizes cells to prevent histamine release, and is also a natural antioxidant. Most people will not be able to obtain the recommended daily value of it from food sources though, so a supplement may also be necessary. However, people who have liver disease shouldn’t take quercetin, so be sure to consult your doctor or allergist first.

Inflammation is a major contributor not only to arthritis, but also Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and even some forms of cancer. A number of people have seen promise by switching to more of an anti-inflammatory diet. Most are able to prevent the pain of arthritis by avoiding excess inflammatory foods like wheat, corn, eggs, milk and dairy, red meat, salt, white rice, and alcohol. This is more a way of choosing foods based on the knowledge of how then can help your body, rather than the popular definition of diets, which are designed to help lose weight. However, many people do lose weight as they are consuming less processed and fast foods.

Studies have shown that a more active lifestyle can help fend off inflammation that can lead to arthritis. Whether it’s aerobic exercise like walking or flexibility based exercises, even 15 minutes a day can make a big difference. Yoga and Tai Chi are good examples of flexibility exercises that can keep joints healthy. People who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis often experience more pain or stiffness in the hands and fingers, so small hand exercises like making a fist and opening your hands wide, or touching your finger tips can be quite beneficial.

Athletes use heat and cold therapies to ease pain and shorten recovery time, so why can’t you use it for those aching joints? You can, and in most cases, to a great degree. Try using a heat therapy for 15 minutes prior to any exercises like we mentioned above. This can be from heat patches, warm water bottles, or even a hot shower or bath. Heat works by dilating the blood vessels and stimulating circulation. Cold therapy works conversely by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling. It may be uncomfortable at first, but deep pain can often be numbed by cold treatment.
