Is Fluoride Building Up In Your Bones?

I don’t know about you but I don’t like the idea of having fluoride added to my water supply . I would prefer to drink my water as pure as possible, however, most water in Australia has chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals added. According to a report, from the USA National Institute of Health , fluoride accumulates in our bones contributing to bone problems. Around 50% of the fluoride is eliminated and 50% stored in in our bones. So while you may think this is not relevant enough to worry about, over the years all those sips and swigs add up to a considerable amount of stored fluoride. And from another report, from Nuclear Medicine Communication , fluoride has also been shown to accumulate in our cardiovascular system as well. Now it’s virtually impossible to eliminate your fluoride exposure compl... continue reading

Why Do I need Earthing When I'm Already Healthy

I'm passionate about spreading the word of Earthing and of course I usually attract a lot of healthy people or health groups, however, sometimes these people maybe the hardest to convince that Earthing would be a good addition to their daily routine. Does this sound like you? You see, these people are already in good shape and maybe eating raw, organic,or plant based diets, follow a good exercise routine and are happy with their outcomes. However, I was interested to read a blog post from a yoga teacher, Ashlie Flood, who also thought she didn't really need to incorporate Earthing into her life daily. Ashlie was content to know that she did make barefoot contact with the Earth about once a week for around an hour and thought that was good enough to benefit her body. However, after receiving indoor ... continue reading

It seems our younger generation spend a great deal of time on some form of technology, and it’s part of their everyday lives and it could be considered addictive with constant checking of emails, Facebook and Twitter while doing other chores. ... continue reading
