 Fit for Life? Not so fit... September 22, 2004 10:10 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Topic: a typical day? http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=118&pst=25176 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A quick update on Harvey Diamond, author of _Fit for Life_.... Harvey actually ended up having serious health problems, after years of following his own dietary guidelines. Eventually, he ended up seeking the advice of Dr. Robert O. Young (author of _The pH Miracle_ who recommends this "alkalarian" approach), and he learned from Dr. Young that the main problem with his diet was that he was eating too much fruit. (Harvey had recommended fruit for breakfast every morning for its theoretical cleansing benefits.) Unfortunately, however, fruits are acidifying, which can be detrimental in excess, and once Harvey began following Dr. Young's guidelines, his health problems were resolved. Harvey has since provided one of the most prominent endorsements for Dr. Young's guidelines for "alkalarian" living: "A real breakthrough! Like all good programs of true worth, this is more than a diet. Followed conscientiously, _The pH Miracle_ delivers where it truly counts the most, not only with weight loss, but also with a healthier body, newfound energy, and a stronger immune system." - Harvey Diamond, author of _Fit for Life_  [ send green star]

CHEMICAL LADEN OR CHEMICAL FREE?? YOU CHOOSE _____________________________________________________ Scientific and medical research has shown that an estimated 8-10,000 toxins are potentially absorbed through the skin from commercial cosmetics and toiletries. Pantene Shampoo has a high substance of silicone in it, which means your hair is being constantly coated in this toxic cocktail each and every time you shampoo your hair. If you visit a hairdresser she will normally ask if you use Pantene as she will have to wash the hair a few more times than often to get the silicon out before dyeing your hair. If your hair dye dosent work it might be because your hair is so heavily coated in silicone that the dyes wont penetrate it. The average beauty product is 95 per cent chemically derived. See what is has on the labels, if it has Isoparaffins or words with lates or mates or xanes or thanols on the label, then it has had some sort of chemical cocktail in it. There is an increased risk of lung, uterine and ovarian cancer among beauticians and hairdressers ( and this is a known fact ) have higher risks of developing breast, digestive and respiratory cancers. Of 169 permanent hair dyes, 150 are mutagenic ( highly toxic substances going into your head ) The use of permanent and semi-permanent hair dyes is associated with increased risk of non-hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukaemia and hodgkins disease and in 1979 the US national Cancer Institute warned that women who dye their hair might absorb cancer causing ingredients through their scalp. So next time you go to the hairdressers, the nail bar or the beauticans think about what products they are using and ask for a natural product. *you have the right after all you are paying for them to give you a very harmful toxin - which you are going to be placing into your body. You are What You eat and so you are what you place into your body. Is it a wonder why we are now getting so many cancers in our society. ??????? We eat alot of stuff that has a high range of additives in it and we eat alot of processed foods which a ll have chemicals in them. ADHD is on the increase, is your child having its daily dose of toxic chemicals or are you treating his ADHD with Natural Foods. Todays society is eating way too many junk foods. *thats why we are getting sicker. Pass this on to others, so they too can know what they are placing into their bodies on a daily basis. This info was from the Options Magazine Issue 7. 2005. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
