Holy Basil shown to Remove Fluoride from water!

Plant medicine prevails again to detoxify the moderns world most prominent toxin. 

Researchers from Rajasthan University in India have discovered that the Tulasi plant, also known as Holy Basil, can be used to significantly reduce the amount of fluoride in drinking water. An experiment was conducted in the Yellareddyguda village of Narketpally Mandal. 

The researchers soaked 75mg’s of Tulasi leaves in 100ml of water that contained 7.4 parts per million of fluoride in the water. After only soaking the Tulasi leaves for eight hours, it was discovered that the level of fluoride in the water was reduced from 7.4 parts per million, to only 1.1 parts per million. 

Since 1962, the U.S. had specified the optimal level of fluoride to range from 0.7 to 1.2 mg/L (milligrams per liter, equivalent to parts per million), depending on the average maximum daily air temperature; the optimal level is lower in warmer climates, where people drink more water, and is higher in cooler climates.^[1] This standard, adopted in 1962, is not appropriate for all parts of the world and is based on assumptions that have become obsolete with the rise of air conditioning and increased use of soft drinks, processed food, and other sources of fluorides. In 1994 a World Health Organization expert committee on fluoride use stated that 1.0 mg/L should be an absolute upper bound, even in cold climates, and that 0.5 mg/L may be an appropriate lower limit.^[2]  

Fluoride Calcified Pineal Gland 

If you would look on the back of any toothpaste bottle you would find that if you ingest toothpaste with sodium fluoride in it that you must contact poison control. Your average toothpaste contain around .24 percent sodium fluoride. How does this make sense that the National safety averages is 1.0 mg in main water supply? An overdose of fluoride can cause severe nervous system damage including slowed or irregular heart rate, tremors and shallow breathing! Not to mention the research found that a slow exposure to fluoride causes the calcification of the pineal gland! The pineal gland  is responsible for sound sleep, balanced hormones, which controls everything from balance between sleep and to waking concentration levels.

By infusing holy basil into your water, eating more organic whole foods and switching to fluoride free toothpaste we  have an inexpensive and widely available way to preserve your and your family's health!

Earthing: Barefoot for Better Health

"How does Earthing work?

According to Dr. Koniver, the free radicals that we build up throughout the day are positively charged, and the surface of the Earth is negatively charged.

“It’s a symbiotic thing,” adds Dr. Koniver. She argues that if we can get our vitamin D from the sun and our oxygen from the trees, we too can get healing electrons from the ground. In Dr. Koniver’s words, “We are meant to build up free radicals and inflammation by the way we live our lives, and the Earth is our docking base.”

How do we begin Earthing?

The great thing about Earthing (or Grounding, as it's also known) is that it can be practiced almost anywhere, and it's completely free. First things first, though — take off your shoes. If you’re walking with rubber soles separating your feet from the ground, you won’t be getting the benefits.

“Even wearing cloth or natural fabrics is fine,” says Koniver. “You can wear socks or clothing and still get that electron transfer. It’s really just the manmade rubbers in shoes, and flooring and insulation, that separates the transfer.” This transfer, according to Koniver, can also be made through any point of the body, as long as that body part is making direct contact with the ground.

Where do we Earth?

According to Dr. Koniver, some places are better than others, but Earthing can be practiced in just about any natural setting. “To me, if healthy grass is growing outside over a layer of soil, it’s connected to the crust of the Earth, and that’s all it needs to be,” says Koniver. She adds that beaches are probably the best places to Earth (as the moisture from the ground acts as a conductor) but that a person can reap the healing benefits from grass, sand, rock, dirt, soil, and to a lesser extent, even concrete that’s been laid over the crust of the Earth. “Concrete acts as a semi-conductor,” says Koniver, “so if you live in a city with no real access to nature, you can map out a little patch and kick off your shoes.”

How long we should be Earthing?

“There’s no wrong answer,” says Koniver. “I really believe that your body would be thankful for two seconds.” Ideally, though, Koniver recommends Earthing every day for at least 10 minutes, but stresses that “You can’t overdo it.” And, if 10 minutes is too hard to work into your schedule, she advocates fitting in as much barefoot time as you possibly can. “At the end of the day, if all I have time to do is take off my shoes and walk across my lawn to the mailbox, I’ll take it.”

What are the health benefits of Earthing?

According to Dr. Koniver, Earthing can help with a wide range of health problems, including arthritis, stress, sleeping disorders and depression. In fact, she also believes in Earthing as a way to treat her patients who are experiencing menopause.

At the moment, Koniver is also studying the effects of Earthing on obesity. “I think Earthing can help with the obesity epidemic in kids and adults, and also with diabetes,” says Koniver, who is currently working with a group of overweight patients to research her theory. “Every person in my study, except for two, is losing weight with no other changes in diet or exercise,” she says. “I have a patient who is losing over 10 pounds a week, doing nothing different besides Earthing."

The Human Family Tree

"The most detailed human family tree so far available is one constructed over many years by Dr. Douglas C. Wallace and his colleagues at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Wallace's tree is based on mitochondrial DNA, tiny rings of genetic material that are bequeathed only by the egg cell and thus through the maternal line. A counterpart tree for men, based on analysis of the Y chromosome, has been prepared by Dr. Peter A. Underhill and Dr. Peter J. Oefner of Stanford University.

Mitochondria, which live inside human cells but outside the nucleus, escape the shuffling of genes that occurs between generations and are passed unchanged from mother to children. In principle, all people should have the same string of DNA letters in their mitochondria.

Population geneticists believe that the ancestral human population was very small -- a mere 2,000 breeding individuals, according to a calculation published last December. But the family tree based on human mitochondrial DNA does not trace back to the thousand women in this ancestral population. The tree is rooted in a single individual, the mitochondrial Eve, because all the other lineages fell extinct.

The same is true of the Y chromosome tree, a consequence of the fact that in each generation some men will have no children, or only daughters, so the number of different Y chromosomes may steadily diminish, even if the population stays the same size.

This ancestral human population lived somewhere in Africa, geneticists believe, and started to split up some time after 144,000 years ago, give or take 10,000 years, the inferred time at which both the mitochondrial and Y chromosome trees make their first branches."
