Detoxification Is About To Become A Household Word
Current social and environmental events dictate a strong need for more health professionals to take an active part in helping fellow humans establish, maintain, or recover true health. The current environmental tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico is a reminder that wake-up calls are not always intelligently heeded. The ignorance of the mostly innocent public, especially the cleanup volunteers, with regard to their health exposure in this situation, is saddening.
Continued exposure to benzene and hydrocarbon fumes as well as extended skin contact with oil and spill dispersants like Corexit will create a landslide of health issues for years to come. This holds true for the citizens living in the immediate region as well as for those living along the airborne and ocean pathway of the spill. Their impending health issues will depend upon their proximity to the ultimate toxic concentrations, the coming hurricane season’s effect in spreading these toxins, and their individual ability to maintain a strong immune system and basic health in the face of this poisonous storm.
Powerful detox protocols that include a broad-spectrum of nutritional supplements for stimulating and supporting detoxification in addition to primary dietary changes, internal organ cleanses, gastrointestinal repair and cleansing, circulatory enhancement, and lifestyle changes will become widespread as more individuals seek professional health in these complementary medicine fields.
Superior nutritional supplements made with high-quality ingredients, excellent customer service provided by knowledgeable employees trained by the product formulator himself, and the kind of personal touch only a 20 year-old, family-owned and operated business can deliver. That’s IntegratedHealth.com!
IntegratedHealth.com, also known as Health Products Distributors, Inc., is the brainchild of Dr. Hank Liers, former nuclear physicist turned nutritional product designer and expert. For over 20 years these superior supplements have helped the lives of many people and rank on par with today’s top labels like Metagenix, Pure Encapsulations, Life Extension, and Thorne. To see a prime example of his “evidence-based” formulas, check out Dr. Liers’ brilliant superfood line, Rejuvenate!.
Most of Dr. Liers’ formulas and supplements are designed around the concept of EBM, or “Evidence-Based Medicine”. This approach makes use of the best evidence available gained from scientific method and randomized controlled trials as applied to nutritional supplements as well as to other aspects of medical treatment and quality of life concerns. The use of nutraceuticals (the complex and beneficial nutritional aspects extracted from foods) and phtyochemicals (natural, healthful compounds found in plants) are examples of this approach. Though most health claims based on food or plant medicines are prohibited by the FDA because of lack of scientific agreement, historical use in diverse cultures and modern experimentation has lead the way to evidence that is based upon actual, “a posteriori” results.
There is a wonderful, new search engine on the web that uses Bing and Yahoo to provide its search results and simultaneously saves large parcels of the Amazon Rainforest as you search. Even with the world’s present environmental and social networks in place, sharing and caring for planet earth and all of its inhabitants, this search engine concept is a mind-blower. It truly defines the statement, “What will they think of next ?”. Well, here it is.
Watch their introductory video, examine their transparent audit trail showing the exact payments they have made to the WWF, the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, and read their FAQs. Ecosia gives at least 80% of its advertising revenue to a rainforest protection program run by the WWF that protects the Juruena National Park, a 1.5 million-hectare park that is Brazil’s third largest.
Ecosia users can save about two square meters of rainforest with every search they do – without paying anything. All Ecosia servers run on green electricity, so they do not directly cause any CO2 emissions; this is a whole lot better than any other search engine company can claim concerning their carbon footprint. The average internet user can protect about 2,000 square meters of rainforest every year by using Ecosia – this is about the size of an ice hockey field. Right on!
Like most search engine users who adopt Ecosia as their default search engine in Firefox, Opera, and other compatible web browsers, I will still use Google, Wikipedia, and my array of specialized search engines when I am doing deep searches. Ecosia will provide most of my daily searches, though, and a whole lot of green satisfaction. The domino effect of this brilliant concept has only just begun…
Acres USA is the finest magazine (and website) focused on sustainable agriculture. It is truly the “Voice of Eco-Agriculture”. Acres USA focuses on political and economic issues as much as it does on actual hands-on farming info because:
“Political, economic and social issues are as important to your future in farming as managing the soil and understanding crop and livestock production. Acres USA gathers insights from sustainable agriculture’s brightest minds to inform you on big issues looming behind the day’s headlines and to challenge you to think about the big picture”.
I love to garden and my grandparents and great-grandparents were full-time farmers in Kansas. Acres USA has incredible articles in every issue thaat educate and inform with topics like “The Science of Humus” , “Joel Salatin on Nativized Genetics”, and “Pastured Poultry Innovators”. The regular monthly columns also bring news about every pertinent farming topic you can imagine. It’s the perfect information source for both backyard gardeners and full-fledged farmers. Pay special attention to the advertisements as well because they offer superb products that are not found in mainstream magazines because they are not a part of “Big Agro” business. This a magazine you’ll want to subscribe to for as long as you till the soil.
