Dangers of Asbestos Exposure
A naturally occurring mineral fiber, asbestos is prized for its resistance to heat and many different types of corrosive chemicals. It can be woven into fabric and added to other materials to produce a wide variety of products.
Use of asbestos soared during the Industrial Revolution. Demand for the mineral soared as it was used in boilers, steam engines, railroads and other types of machinery. Firefighters even wore special garments woven with asbestos fibers to protect them from fire, and still do today.
How Healthy is Your Gluten Free Food?
Ten years ago when I found out I had to go gluten free, my life changed drastically and for the better. Suddenly, I was doing this strange thing: Picking up food at the grocery store and turning it around to read the label! It amazes me that there was actually once a time in my life when I didn’t even consider discovering what was going into my body before I ate it.
If you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, this story may sound similar. You never really thought about the food you ate until, all of a sudden, eating was like playing a game of Russian roulette. You may have started realizing, while skimming the ingredients on a box of cereal for tell-tell signs of gluten, that there were some food preservatives and additives you couldn’t pronounce.

Do you live on fast food and energy drinks? Can you not even remember the last time you drank a glass of pure water? If so, you’re increasing your risk of developing colon cancer. This article explains why you may need to get a colonoscopy much earlier than 50 years old and what foods you should eat to decrease your cancer risk.
Should You Wait to Get a Colonoscopy?
According to the American Cancer Society, men should start getting a colonoscopy every ten years starting at age 50. But does this mean you? Should you really wait until you’re fifty years old to start getting yourself checked for colon cancer? This may depend on your family history, diet, and lifestyle.
I Cured My Intestinal Parasites Naturally!
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed an increase in searches and questions about intestinal parasites. The blog I wrote a couple of years ago about the subject seems to be a bit too vague. So I’m writing my personal account of how I cured my intestinal parasites in 2010 with a product called Paragone from ReNew Life.
Back in January of 2010, I suddenly began feeling very sick to my stomach and getting diarrhea almost every day. At first I thought I may have been somehow getting gluten in my diet but that didn’t make sense. I always ate the exact same things. I scoured my fridge and cabinets and threw out anything suspect just to be safe but things went from bad to worse.
You're not alone and you're not crazy.
When you suffer from mystery symptoms, that's what you need to hear. I know how it feels to be called a hypochondriac or told your symptoms are "all in your head". They're not. I suffered for 22 years with chronic stomach pain, muscle aches, yeast infections, brain fog and terrible fatigue until a homeopathic doctor told me he knew what was wrong with me: I had gluten intolerance. This blog is dedicated to you. You're still struggling to figure out what's causing your mystery symptoms. Don't give up. The answer is out there and I can help you find it.
