The acid in that wonderful dark fizzy drink known all over the world is strong enough to dissolve teeth and bones!

We stop building bones at around the age of 30. After that it dissolves about 8-18% of our bones each year through the urine, depending on the acidity of the food intake.  Acidity does not depend on the taste of the food, but on the ratio of potassium / calcium /magnesium / etc to phosphorus).  All the dissolved calcium compounds accumulate in the arteries, veins, skin, tissue, organs. This affects the functioning of the kidneys and is probably the main cause of kidney stones. Soft drinks do not have any nutritional value in terms of vitamins and minerals – they have higher sugar content, higher acidity, and more additives such as preservatives and colourings.

What is the impact of that nice cold fizzy drink when you drink it with lunch? Our bodies have an optimum temperature of 37^oC for the functioning of digestive enzymes. The cold, close to freezing temperature of the soft drink in our bodies lowers the effectiveness of the enzymes and puts stress on the digestive system, digesting less food. In fact the food gets fermented. The fermented food produces bad smelling gases, decays and forms toxins that are absorbed in the intestines, gets circulated in the blood and is delivered to the whole body. This spread of toxins can lead to the development of various diseases.

And think about this – every time you gulp down a soft drink, you gulp down carbon dioxide, something that nobody in the world would advise you to do.

Years ago there was a competition in Delhi University, “Who can drink the most Coke?”. The winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because it created too much carbon dioxide in the blood and not enough oxygen. From then on, the Dean banned all soft drinks from the university canteen.

Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 10 days it is dissolved! Teeth and bones are the only human structures that stay intact for years after death. Imagine what the drink must be doing to your soft intestines and stomach lining! Try putting a common metal nail in a container of Coke and see how long it takes to dissolve.

My Dad uses the stuff to take grease stains off the garage floor.

And try this!!…

Pour a can of Coke into the toilet bowl. Let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

Rub a chrome car bumper with a crumpled-up piece of aluminium foil dipped in Coke to remove rust spots.

Pour a can of Coke over battery terminals to bubble away corrosion.

Apply a cloth soaked in Coke to a rusted bolt for several minutes to help loosen it..

To remove grease from clothes -empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coke will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze and honey from your windshield.

The latest talk from the World Health Organisation is that for the first time in history, our kids and their kids will not live as long as us and our fore-fathers.  With all the technology and wondrous so-called treatments and therapies for cancer and other diseases, we ask why not?

Well, duuhh – it’s right in front of our faces and obvious what is going on – unhealthy cells produce even unhealthier cells.  So, two not so healthy (even though we think we might be) people get lucky enough to reproduce and a seemingly healthy bambino is expected to endure an onslaught of toxins from the moment of conception – toxins from food, water, cleaning products, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, radiation, building materials, the environment, not to mention the numerous toxic potions and lotions mum and dad have slathered on themselves and plan to lather on their beautiful newborn!  It’s any wonder why there are so many miscarriages, so many malformations, so many couples unable to conceive, and so many childhood cancers, SIDS cases and ADD/ADHD.

A minority of people who have opened their minds and done their own research have found that being exposed to even a small amount of pesticides within the home can be attributed to serious illnesses and can be masked as ADD/ADHD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches, nausea, tiredness, and the list goes on….

Most of my generation and our parents at least had a positive head-start in life with organically grown fruit and vegetables.  What hope do our kids have?

A great book to read on environmental illness is “Children of a Toxic Harvest” by Eve Hillary…  Ask me where you can get it and at the same time, ask me how you can reduce the toxic load on your body, your family’s bodies, your home and the environment…

To a healthier, longer living You!

AH1N1 (2009) Swine Flu Vaccine
Australian campaign to start September 30th, 2009

Saturday, September  19th, 2009 – For Immediate Release:

The AMA and Insurers ask for delays in swine flu vaccination
- Why is the government rushing this campaign?

Australian Minister for Health, Nicola Roxon, has announced that the nation’s campaign to vaccinate 21 million Australians against the AH1N1 2009 strain of influenza is due to begin on Saturday, September 30th – less than 2 weeks from today. Since the Southern Hemisphere has already passed through the 2009 flu season, one has to wonder why the government is rushing this campaign?

The Australian Government’s hasty vaccination policy demonstrates that it is not immune to panic. It is potentially making the same mistake that the US did in 1976 when 40 million Americans were vaccinated against swine flu after a total of 5 cases were confirmed nationwide. This campaign killed 25 people and caused 4,000 serious adverse reactions – many of them Guillain-Barre paralysis (GBS), a serious neurological disorder. The UK has already warned its neurologists to look out for GBS in recipients of the current AH1N1 vaccine.

Nicola Roxon’s knee-jerk reaction in rushing this vaccine through despite warnings by insurance companies, the Australian Medical Association and consumer safety groups like the AVN, could lead to far more deaths and hospitalisations from the vaccine than we would ever see from the swine flu which, from all the available information, may be milder than normal seasonal flu.

The Australian Vaccination Network asks the government to reconsider this campaign for the following reasons:

1- The vaccine, which does not even have a name yet (I will refer to it as AH1N1 vaccine), is produced by CSL Pty Ltd (click here to read the manufacturer’s information). It contains 24.5 mcg of Thiomersal per dose. Thiomersal is a toxic mercury-based preservative which has been banned from over the counter medications and products for decades and childhood vaccines in Australia, the US and the UK for many years. Mercury has been linked  with an increased risk of autism (now affecting 1:67 children; 1:38 boys), behavioural disorders and brain damage in both children and adults – it has no place in any product which is supposed to increase or protect health.

2- AH1N1 vaccine, which is laden with toxic mercury, is targeting those who are the most vulnerable to permanent brain damage from exposure to this banned poison – the unborn, children and those who are already immune-compromised. This policy borders on madness and one has to wonder where the funds are going to come from to pay compensation claims for those who are killed or injured by these shots?

3- For purely economic reasons, AH1N1 vaccine is being distributed in multi-dose vials, greatly increasing the risk of transmission of infection from person to person. As a result, insurance companies and the government have refused to indemnify doctors who administer this vaccine.

4. The AMA’s President, Andrew Pesce, has asked the Federal Government to “seriously consider” delaying the rollout of this vaccine, “due to inadequate testing and a higher risk of infection from multi-dose vials.” This request seems to have been ignored.

5- The vaccine is not tested for effectiveness. According to the manufacturer, there have been no controlled clinical studies demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with either the normal seasonal flu vaccine, AFLURIA, or the AH1N1 vaccine.

6- There are great safety concerns regarding this vaccine. Even though it is going to be administered to millions, it has only been tested for a few short weeks in less than 2,000 individuals. Even in such a small trial group, severe allergic reactions including life-threatening anaphylactic shock, have been reported.

7- The bias in the manufacturer’s pre-licensure studies is evident due to the fact that there was no placebo used. In testing this vaccine, those who were given what they were told was a placebo (by medical definition, a totally inert substance), were in fact being dosed with a solution containing toxic mercury. The TGA does not perform safety or effectiveness tests on any vaccines themselves, relying on manufacturers to test prior to licensing. They should not have allowed this unscientific methodology. The TGA is not government funded and relies solely on pharmaceutical licensing fees.

8- When AH1N1 vaccine had the Thiomersal (mercury) preservative removed (Study 2 below) and was tested on a small group of elderly people in the UK, the number of reactions, though still considerable, was cut by 50% and more for some conditions.
