Salt Deficiency: the cause of many serious diseases Teleconference: How To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds Are we placing our animals at risk ? Read the comments of veterinarians who believe that vaccines are damaging our pets West Nile Virus - what the media won't tell you.
Salt Deficiency: An eight-year study of a New York City hypertensive population stratified for sodium intake levels found those on low-salt diets had more than four times as many heart attacks as those on normal-sodium diets – the exact opposite of what the “salt hypothesis” would have predicted. (1995) Dr. Jeffrey R. Cutler documented no health outcomes benefits of lower-sodium diets.
"In recent years there has been much publicity about the need to reduce salt consumption in societies where salt is added to many processed foods. It has tended to be forgotten that some salt intake is absolutely necessary; that people need salt, sodium chloride, to survive: The chemical requirements of the human body demand that the salt concentration in the blood be kept constant. If the body does not get enough salt, a hormonal mechanism compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. On a completely salt-free diet the body steadily loses small amounts of salt via the kidneys and sweat glands. It then attempts to adjust this by accelerating its secretion of water, so that the blood’s salt concentration can be maintained at the vital level. The result is a gradual desiccation of the body and finally death." Roy Moxham
The salt you buy at the store is only sodium chloride (common table salt). This is where things go wrong, at least in terms of your health. The salt is refined to remove impurities, to make it attractive and uniform in appearance, and to extract most of the mineral elements. When they have finished refining your salt, it looks great, and flows easily out of your salt shaker, but 82 of the 84 mineral elements have been extracted. They have added chemical additives which bleach the salt whiter, prevent water absorption while the salt is in the box, make the salt flow freely in your salt shaker, and add iodine and iodine stabilizers. The chemical additives which prevent the refined salt from absorbing water while it is in the box also prevent the refined salt from being properly absorbed in your body. This is why we are constantly being told that it is harmful to our health to consume too much salt. Natural salt, which has not been refined, can be consumed in any amount. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to consume too much natural unrefined salt! Why? Because the body, with its natural affinity for unrefined salt, will simply pass the excess unrefined salt out of our bodies."
An abundance of the ingredients in unrefined, solar dried real salt are as synonymous with life today as they were a billion years ago before single cells appeared here. Lack of them is synonymous with birth defects, organ failure, decay, diseases, premature aging and death at a young age.
Salt is vital for our animals too! Herds of elephants risk
injury and death in a perilous journey to hidden salt caves where they
supplement their sodium deficient diets. Our pets also suffer from sodium
deficiency.

Teleconference Saturday, August 24 at 9 AM Central Time - "The Danger of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them" sponsored by Dr. Mercola
Dr. Buttram - "At the present time there are growing public and professional concerns about the safety of currently mandated childhood vaccine programs, as reflected in by a series of annual Congressional hearings in Washington DC that have taken place since 1999, sponsored by the U.S. House Government Reform Committee under the chairmanship of Congressman Dan Burton. At an annual conference of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine during April 2001, with several hundred physicians in attendance, when one of the speakers asked how many in attendance had concerns about the safety of current childhood vaccines, a large majority raised their hands. The Autism Research Institute of San Diego is now widely known as an active support group for families with autistic children and is one of the more active organizations in this field. Its founding director, Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., has provided the statistics that, in their experience, from 50 to 60% of parents with autistic children believe that their children were damaged by vaccines. In our own office we have seen many autistic children in recent years, and our own experience has been very similar, many parents reporting that deterioration of their children took place following vaccines."

Immunization Registries" have already been set up by the state governments in more than half of the states and will be linked together to form a national "vaccination tracking registry". The plan will require you and your child to be automatically enrolled in this computerized, electronic, government "immunization registry". Some parents have already been charged with child abuse or neglect by government officials for refusing to vaccinate with all government required vaccines. Their children have been excluded from daycare, elementary schools, and colleges. Others have had their children denied health insurance by HMOs. The national "Immunization Registry" will make it even easier for government officials to punish those who make independent health care decisions for themselves and their families.

How
To Legally Avoid Unwanted Immunizations Of All Kinds (From
Dr. Mercola's website)
Nobody, anywhere or any time and under any
circumstances has the right or power in this country to immunize you or
your children against your will and conviction. If they attempt
to do so, you can legally charge them with "assault with a deadly weapon"
and have the full resources of our laws behind you.
At all times in attempting to avoid unwanted immunization, you have
the Law of the Land behind you. Those who would try to vaccinate you against
your will are on very shaky ground. Into every compulsory immunization
law in America are written legal exceptions and waivers which are there
specifically to protect you from the attempted tyranny of officialdom.
It is not only your right, but your obligation to use them, if this is
what your conscience tells you. School is about to start up again, and
the vaccine requirements for school admission are a real problem that many
of you will soon face.
Teleconference on the "The Danger of Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them". (Saturday, August 24 at 9 AM Central Time - Enroll no later than August 23). Dr. Mercola will have his first teleconference featuring renowned vaccine expert Dr. Sherri Tenpenny that will help you:

Are
we placing our animals at risk ? Read the comments of veterinarians
who believe that vaccines are damaging our pets.
From the Wall Street Journal Wednesday July
31, 2002 - B4 - Vets Rethink the Need for
Annual Pet Vaccination
Fears of vaccine induced diseases date back more
than 40 years. But a sharp increase during the past decade in cancerous
tumors among cats, between the shoulder blades where vaccines typically
are injected, has spurred studies. Some have found a highter-than expected
incidence of side effects. "We see health problems indogs for which we
have no explanation. The classic on is autoimmune disease, "says Larry
Glickman, professor of epidemiology at Purdue University's School of Veterinary
Medicine in West Lafayetter, Ind., who is studying possible links
with vaccinations. We see an epidemic of hyperthyroidism in cats today,
and we suspect that these are happening because we're over-vaccinating
our pets. Learn more about animal routine vaccination
and its danger
West Nile Virus
According to a study by Dr. Mary Wolff of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the main component of Anvil (the insecticides being used to spray mosquitoes), the chemical Sumithrin, disrupts human hormones and has been shown to increase the growth of breast cancer tumors. "Women who have breast cancer and who may be exposed to the spraying should be notified about that," Wood said. "These politicians who have no knowledge of this stuff keep saying it's okay. But I'm afraid 10 to 15 years from now we'll be paying the consequences." Rather than jump to costly pesticide spraying that has to be repeated every year, Wood said, City Hall should look at its own successful and environmentally sound ways of eliminating mosquitoes. One of those methods is something called a Mosquito Magnet, a machine that looks like a barbecue grill. It burns propane gas that sends out a plume of carbon dioxide. The plume attracts mosquitoes who are then sucked in and killed. One magnet can destroy adult mosquitoes over an acre of land. The city is already using these machines in all of its waste treatment plants. It needs to order hundreds, or even thousands, more. What we don't need is an annual battle over pesticide spraying that does more harm than the danger being fought.
Dr. Mercola - Pesticides Targeting West Nile-Carrying Mosquitoes May be a Thyroid Danger "Because of the widespread fear, bordering on panic, that has accompanied the continued appearance of the West Nile Virus, massive pesticide spraying campaigns are underway in many areas on the Northeastern US, including New York City and Boston. The insecticides being used in New York are sumithrin (Anvil) and resmethrin (Scourge), both synthetic pyrethroids. In Boston, only resmethrin is being used. The use of both pesticides are coming under considerable criticism, as potentially toxic chemicals that pose a danger to humans, wildlife and the environment. The Pyrethroids may interfere with the immune and endocrine systems. Other adverse chronic effects, including effects on the liver and thyroid, have been reported in toxicology testing."
This, from the CDC website: "Even in areas where the virus is circulating, very few mosquitoes are infected with the virus. Even if the mosquito is infected, less than 1% of people who get bitten and become infected will get severely ill. The chances you will become severely ill from any one mosquito bite are extremely small."
This, from the South Dakota Department of Health - Office of Disease Prevention website: "West Nile virus disease is a mosquito-borne infection that can cause mild flu-like illness or severe encephalitis. Although chances of a person getting encephalitis are small, there are some simple steps you can take to reduce your risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. Encephalitis is a viral infection. Mild cases may include a slight fever and/or headache. More severe infections are marked by a rapid onset of a high fever with head and body aches. Usually symptoms occur from 5 to 15 days after exposure. There is no specific treatment for viral infections, other than to treat the symptoms and provide supportive care. Those who may be most susceptible to encephalitis are the elderly and persons with damaged immune systems."
Learn about Boosting the Immune System naturally: Your immune system is your bodyguard. It works both pro-actively and protectively to shield you from anything in your world that threatens your life and limb. The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. By rebuilding immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears. If health and immunity are thereafter conscientiously maintained, the individual is no longer vulnerable to disease.
Beware of Deet Mosquito Repellent from Granny
Earth
In 1995 the National Poison Control Center in Washington, DC. received
over 6,700 reports of (DEET) repellent exposure side effects, including
one death. Of the 6,700 reports, two thirds occurred in children age six
and under. DEET is the common name for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamid.
DEET
is a unique pesticide because it is applied directly to the human body
for the purpose of repelling insects. It was developed and patented by
the U.S. Army in 1946 for use by military personnel. Deet was then registered
for general public use in the U.S. in the 1957. Products containing N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide
and isomers (DEET) are beneficial as insect repellents, but have also been
associated with dermal (skin) irritation such as blisters and scarring
(Reuveni and Yagupsky, 1982) and neurological damage including toxic encephalopathy
with symptoms of agitation, weakness, disorientation, seizures, coma and
death (Heick, 1980 and Zadikoff, 1979). DEET is absorbed promptly through
the skin and distributed to all organs including the brain and (in case
of pregnancy) the fetus. I gleaned this information from EXTOXNET, a
Pesticide Information Project of Cooperative Extension Offices of Cornell
University, Michigan State university, Oregon State University and University
of California at Davis See
