Solutions for Fatigue and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome There's something in this report for everyone

Solution number five is get restful sleep. I can't say that enough you know your body needs to do heal when you sleep that means not having a bunch of electronics around your bed not having lights blinking when you sleep, a dark environment, not sleeping is going to affect your hormones, it's going to negatively affect your hormones. Follicle stimulating hormones and leutinizing hormones are among the hormones released during your sleep, thyroid stimulating hormones are released pior to sleep. Deep sleep has been shown to increase the release of human growth hormone and even in 2011 a study found that infant growth spurts were associated with increased and consolidated sleep, this is directly a result of the increase of growth hormone during sleep. So sleep is extremely important. Next solution number six is to eliminate the endocrine disrupting chemicals, eating organic fruits and vegetables avoiding pesticides, avoiding soy, aspartame, artificial sweeteners, non-toxic cookware, if you're drinking coffee make sure that you switch to organic coffee because 80% of the coffee sprayed with toxic pesticides which are endocrine disruptors. So if you go over there to your favorite coffee shop in the morning you're getting endocrine disruptors in the milk and most likely the tap water that they use to make the coffee. Avoid GMOs, whean you eat meat make sure it's organic, only range free eggs, avoid sugary and processed foods don't drink from aluminum cans, not canned foods, limit your alcohol consumption, cook with distilled or purified water, don't microwave food, avoid containers with BPA, avoid plastic cutting boards and all that stuff cutting utensils use bamboo or you can use even ceramic knives these days, use non-toxic detergent for dishwasher for laundry detergent, get rid of all your chemical fertilisers and herbicides and all that stuff in your garage, look at all your cosmetics, body care products, switch to organic all-natural non-toxic, these are all hormone disruptors. There are some natural supplements too depending on your hormonal imbalances stemming from you might want to take dietary supplements and recommend working with natural health care practitioner after looking at all the causes and eliminating all those, most likely your hormones will balance anyway, but one of the things that I recommend for everybody not just people that are suffering from hormone deficiencies, iodine wekeep coming back to that and coming back that, I suggest that you look at iodine webinar that's out there, but without a doubt is going to play one of the biggest roles in maintaining balance hormones, the entire body needs iodine, every single endocrine cell needs iodine, but it's really used heavily by three organs which is the thyroid, the breast tissue and ovaries, men also use iodine in the reproductive organs prostate testes, so highly recommend you watch that. Some herbs you might want to check out that are effective in balancing the hormones naturally Tribulus terrestris, suma root, ashwagandha, maca or Peruvian ginseng, avena sativa, tongkat ali, wild yams, some of the cohoshes. The first thing is to get rid of the things causing your hormone disruption and second is to clean your body as best as you possibly can, once you have all that done then I would look into using or supplementing different hormone supplements. I use androtrex which contains a lot of these things, for males naturaly your hormones are going to decrease with age, naturaly a woman's hormones are going to be altered during age, what can you do naturaly to regulate some of that, cleansing of course, as long as you're in a natural state that's what you want. I developed a product called female fusion to help balance out hormones naturaly. Hormone replacement therapy is not a good idea, just putting a bandaid over a problem, first of all if your hormones are imbalanced you need to get to the root cause of that, not just add more hormones especially synthetic hormones to the mix and that is what bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is just pharmaceutical hormones which you don't know where they're getting from with molecules that are exact copies of human hormones, but any hormone you taking from pharmaceutical company has to be synthesized and they might say it's the same thing when synthetic hormones are similar but they're not and they tend to fit less precisely on your hormone receptors and that's why the ugly side effects that you might've seen in the news lately the testosterone replacement therapy is associated with heart problems there menopausal hormone therapy has cancer risks so if you're on HRT it's imperative that your intestinal health is at the highest to eliminate toxins prevent the hormones from being absorbed in your gut and also probiotics are within balance.

We all need to do this to not only save ourselves save the children but to save the Earth, we're losing 200 species a day a lot of this has to do with chemicals. Until next time look around your house start today eliminating these toxic chemicals from the environment and start cleansing."

Are Plastic Water Bottles Causing you to Gain Weight and Contribute to Diabetes & Cancer?

An overweight man takes a drink of water after a long workout.by Cat Ebeling & Mike Geary

co-authors of the best-sellers: The Fat Burning Kitchen & The Top 101 Foods that Fight Aging

Surrounded by a sea of plastic and hormone-disrupting chemicals that includes plastic water bottles, plastic soda bottles, plastic bags, plastic food containers, soaps, shampoos, food packaging and pans treated with nonstick coatings, studies are showing definite connections between plastic compounds and serious diseases like diabetes and obesity. Not only that, but more and more evidence is also pointing to other serious health issues such as infertility, hormone-related reproductive cancers, neurological issues and other disorders.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) also referred to as “Xenoestrogens” or synthetic estrogens, cause serious health problems because they mimic estrogen among other hormones. By hijacking important chemical messengers in the body, EDC’s actually can change the way cells develop and grow. These chemicals are showing up in men, women, breastfeeding mothers and babies.

Xenoestrogens actually amplify the effect of estrogen in the body. These toxic hormones actually can build up over time, creating an overload of estrogen. Individuals with any kind of estrogen dominance health condition (such as breast or ovarian cancer) should be especially careful to avoid xenoestrogens. And this is especially harmful to men.

Xenoestrogens have been linked to feminization in men (man boobs, loss of testosterone, low sperm counts, etc.), infertility, and unnaturally early puberty in girls. This buildup of synthetic female hormones increases the risk of reproductive cancer as well.

Exposure of lab species and wild animals to xenoestrogens has been found to cause abnormalities in the reproductive systems of these animals. Xenoestrogens bind to estrogen receptors in both animals and humans including: reproductive tissue, body fat, the hypothalamus, and pituitary glands. And, studies in mice show that xenoestrogens can cause progressive degeneration of testicular tissue and sexual dysfunction in both sexes.

According to Andrea C. Gore, Professor of Pharmacology at University of Texas, and chair of a task force on hormone disrupting chemicals, “The evidence is more definitive than ever—EDC’s disrupt hormones in a manner that harms human health. Hundreds of studies are pointing to the same conclusion…You may have a healthy meal, but if it’s in a plastic container [or cooked in a nonstick pan], it’s leaching chemicals.”

Based on information from over 1,300 studies, there is strong evidence to show a link between common hormone disrupting chemicals and serious health issues such as:

• Type 2 Diabetes

• Obesity

• Heart disease

• Infertility/Impotence

• Hormone-sensitive cancers in women (breast, endometrial, ovarian)

• Prostate cancer

• Thyroid problems

• Poor brain development and brain function in young children

• Feminization in men: low sperm count, breast development

While there are about 85,000 chemicals known to be in use, it is not known for sure how many of these chemicals actually disrupt hormones, but at least 1,000 are known human toxins.

Some of the known EDCs include bisphenol A (BPA) found in food can linings, cash register receipts; phthalates found in plastics and cosmetics; flame retardant chemicals and various pesticides. The chemicals are so common that nearly every person on Earth has been exposed to at least one or more of these.

And a mother’s exposure to even tiny amounts of EDCs during her pregnancy can trigger obesity in her child. These EDCs can target cells in the pancreas, the liver and the fat cells in the body, leading the way for insulin resistance, and high insulin levels which are direct risk factors for the development of Type 2 diabetes.

When looking at just one of these endocrine disrupting chemicals, it was found that having higher BPA levels was associated with a diabetes rate 50% higher than having lower levels of this harmful chemical!

Two other chemicals, di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) and di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), both known as ‘phthalates’, used in plastic food wrap, soaps, cosmetics and food containers have been directly linked to insulin resistance and diabetes in children and adolescents, as well as high blood pressure.

These chemicals are not the only offenders. Endocrine disrupting chemicals and xenoestrogens also include:

• Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S, which are used in some plastics, metal food cans, and cash register receipts

• Phthalates, a class of chemicals that are used to soften plastic and also used in some perfumes, soaps, shampoos, and cosmetics

• Some pesticides, like DDT

• Triclosan, an antibacterial chemical

These chemicals can act at very low doses.

EDC’s, which include xenoestrogens, can be found in pesticides, plastics, fuels, personal care products preservatives and drugs. Below is a partial list of some of the EDC’s we come into contact with on a daily basis:

• alkylphenols (chemicals used in the manufacture of other chemicals)

• atrazine (a common household weed killer)

• 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor (sunscreen lotions)

• 4-hexylresorcinol (color preservative for shrimp and shellfish).

• butylated hydroxyanisole / BHA (a very common food preservative)

• bisphenol A (used in plastics including food containers and water bottles)

• DDT (insecticide)

• erythrosine / FD&C Red No. 3 (food coloring)

• ethinylestradiol (oral contraceptive pill)

• heptachlor (insecticide)

• nonylphenol and derivatives (surfactants, cleansers, emulsifiers for detergents; pesticides)

• pentachlorophenol (wood preservative)

• polychlorinated biphenyls / PCBs (oils, lubricants, adhesives, paints)

• parabens (skin lotions)

• phenosulfothiazine (red dye)

• phthalates (plasticizers)

• DEHP (plasticizer for PVC/polyvinyl chloride used in pipes and many other applications)

• Propyl gallate (used to protect oils and fats in foods from oxidation)

Many of the EDC’s listed above are contained in processed, packaged foods and in conventionally-grown, non-organic produce as either preservatives and/or pesticides.

Another group of xenoestrogens is found in commercially-raised dairy, meat and eggs. Commercial dairy and egg farmers often feed estrogenic chemicals to milk cows and chickens because it will increase production of milk and eggs. Commercially-raised meat and dairy get a double dose of xenoestrogens from the pesticides they ingest in their feed source as well. This alone makes commercial dairy, eggs and meat major sources of xenoestrogens.

Yes, this list can be mind-boggling and overwhelming. So what are the top ten endocrine disrupting items to avoid? Let’s take a look at this list Dr. Joseph Mercola recently published:

1. Pthlatates in personal care products

2. Tap water AND individual plastic water bottles

3. Canned foods

4. Conventionally grown produce

5. Conventionally raised meat, poultry and dairy

6. Fish containing mercury

7. Kitchen products—nonstick cookware, plastic storage containers

8. Cleaning products

9. Office products—printer’s ink and toner

10. Cash register receipts

Yes, we are surrounded by these chemicals in every aspect of our lives, and they are hard to avoid. Here are some ways to minimize your exposure EDC’s and xenoestrogens:

• Avoid all synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides by eating organic whenever possible, especially the “dirty dozen*” of the highest sprayed produce.

• Avoid using pesticides and herbicides outdoors, especially on your lawn.

• Avoid all plastic containers, especially individual sized water bottles, and plastic food containers. Do not store hot food in plastic. Use glass whenever possible.

• Avoid microwaving in plastic and avoid using plastic wrap.

• Avoid using nail polish, avoid acrylic nails and nail polish remover

• Avoid lotions, hair products and cosmetics that are not “all-natural”. Especially avoid products containing parabens. Unfortunately, the more inexpensive brands usually have the most toxic ingredients.

• Eat only organic, grass fed meats and wild caught fatty fish as much as possible. Consume only organic dairy products.

• Use organic, natural soaps and toothpastes.

• Use natural household cleaners.

• Use only naturally based perfume or essential oils. Most commercial perfumes are full of petrochemicals and preservatives containing xenoestrogens.

• Use naturally based, non-petroleum based laundry detergents and dish detergents.

A healthy diet rich in certain foods is also a key way to avoid and combat these estrogenic compounds in our environment. Specific components of these foods help to block uptake and absorption of xenoestrogens as well and cleanse the body of any excess that may be stored. Eating a whole foods based diet, high in plant-based organic foods will help to keep your system clean. Follow a Paleo-style, unprocessed foods diet, like the Fat Burning Kitchen diet will also help you avoid these dangerous chemicals.

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, radishes, turnips, and cabbage are estrogen inhibiting and prevent these artificial hormones from being absorbed into our system. Onions and garlic contain quercetin that is also anti-estrogenic, immune enhancing and detoxifying.

Omega 3 fats such as those in grass fed meats and wild caught fatty fish are also essential as a safeguard against xenoestrogens. Omega 3 fats have been found to be highly beneficial in estrogen balance and metabolism.

Other helpful foods included green tea, citrus fruits, organic (full fat) dairy such as grass fed butter and raw grass fed cheeses, raw nuts and seeds, avocados and organic virgin olive oil. Eating organic greens, herbs and organic fruit also adds to the antioxidant potential in the body further protecting and enhancing the body’s natural balance.

*The Environmental Working Group publishes yearly a “Dirty Dozen “list of top endocrine disrupters, and a “Dirty Dozen” list of the produce with the highest pesticides and preservatives. The Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database lists brands that are free of most must-avoid ingredients and Care2 has compiled a list of non-toxic nail polishes. PETA also features a comprehensive index of beauty brands that do not test on animals.

A sensible approach to eliminating neurotoxins Klinghardt, Dietrich

Is your home making you sick?

NaturalNews) Most people may not give this a second thought, but perhaps the environment in your home may be making you sick. There are literally hundreds of factors that could be affecting the safety factor of your home. Let's take a look at a few of the most potential sources of dangerous toxins.

1. Furniture and fixtures

The worst culprit in the home is formaldehyde. It is classified as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It is a colorless and flammable chemical that is used in building materials, furniture, carpets and many household products. It is even found in "wrinkle-free" and preshrunk clothing. Significant sources of formaldehyde are fuel-burning appliances such as gas stoves and kerosene heaters.

Since this toxic gas may be floating around in your home, try to keep your home well ventilated, especially at night. Live, green plants help oxygenate your home and absorb many toxins.

2. Cleaning products

The average household has over three gallons of toxic cleaners in it. The most dangerous chemicals are "ethylene based glycols that are used in floor cleaners, paints, plastics and in synthetic fibers. According to the EPA, this water soluble solvent is classified as a hazardous air pollutant.

Cleaning products that contain bleach (floor cleaners, dishwasher and clothing detergents, bathroom cleaners) and similar disinfectants can react to create volatile chlorinated compounds.

A 2008 European study found that inhalation of these chlorine-based compounds could "significantly increase the cancer risk."

Eliminating toxic cleaning products can be as simple as purchasing "green" and non-toxic products at your local natural market. For the more adventurous cleaner, you can make your own. Vinegar and water is a great disinfectant and degreaser. Baking soda sprinkled with clove oil can be used to scrub and disinfect your bathroom.

3. Pest control

Insecticides that are sprayed in your home contain chemicals that affect your nervous system, your endocrine system and hormones and may even be carcinogenic. For a non-toxic approach to insect problems in your home, refer to this NaturalNews article: http://www.naturalnews.com.

4. Dry cleaning chemicals

Ever wonder what that distinct smell is on your clothes when you bring them home wrapped in plastic from the dry cleaners? That chemical smell is PERC or percloroethylene. PERC breaks down into several byproducts like carbon tetrachloride, a known liver carcinogen.

Make sure you remove the plastic wrap and aerate your clothes in the garage or outside for 24 hours before you wear them.

5. EMF's

Would you ever consider your Wi-Fi router and computer as sources of dangerous toxins? Electro-pollution has been labeled the deadliest toxin on the planet. You don't see it, feel it, smell it or taste it, but it is affecting you 24/7. Educate yourself about scientifically validated products that help to neutralize the effects of the EMF's. Unplug your router at night and don't have any active electronics in your bedroom when you are bedding down for the night.

Obviously, we can't live in a bubble and remove ourselves from ALL toxic exposure. However, if you take small steps to clean up your personal environment and slowly reduce your toxic exposure then hopefully your home will truly become a safe haven.

The major toxins in your water

Are these familiar foods poisoning you with cadmium?

flax has been embraced as an exceptionally healthy food, since it supplies ample amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, along with notable levels of lignins and fiber. Women wishing to avoid breast cancer have eagerly included the seed in their diet after learning about the protective phytoestrogens that flax supplies. However, researchers have discovered that flax also introduces cadmium into the body -- which is notorious for encouraging breast cancer, kidney disorders, heart disease and osteoporosis. The soluble fiber of flax increases cadmium absorption, while the crop itself is known to take up cadmium from the soil, thereby infusing the plant with the metal.

Flax grown in heavily contaminated soil poses the greatest threat. Parts of Canada, where a majority of the world's flaxseed is grown, tend to have high cadmium in the soil. North and South Dakota, two other large flax producers, also have soil with elevated levels. And flaxseed from China and India -- two countries infamous for heavy metal pollution -- are more likely than not to be contaminated. Since organic (as well as conventional) food isn't tested for heavy metals by the USDA, the certified organic label is worthless in regard to cadmium found in flax. You can learn more about this state of affairs here.

Regrettably, flax isn't the only edible at risk. Shellfish frequently contains cadmium as the result of environmental pollution. Inexpensive shrimp from Asia is one of the worst examples. Oysters from the east and west coasts of Canada are problematic too. Sunflower plants are also prone to accumulating cadmium. Beware of oil and seed butters made from sunflower, especially those grown in North and South Dakota. Polluted Louisiana is one of the main growing regions for rice in the United States, which is yet another crop that easily absorbs the metal. Additionally, if you are a fan of dried apricots, try to source varieties other than those grown in Turkey, which are often loaded with cadmium. Moreover, free-range escargot snails test high due to contaminated soil. Indian black mustard can also be troublesome.

Chemical Causes of Diabetes: Overeating Is Not the Only Problem

Medical science has discovered how sensitive the insulin receptor sites are to chemical poisoning. Metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic, lead, fluoride and possibly aluminum may play a role in the actual destruction of beta cells through stimulating an auto-immune reaction to them after they have bonded to these cells in the pancreas. It is because mercury and lead attach themselves at highly vulnerable junctures of proteins that they find their great capacity to provoke morphological changes in the body. Changes in pancreatic function are among the pathogenetic mechanisms observable during lead intoxication.

6j) Environmental Toxins

If you’re an average American between the ages of 58 and 92, new research shows your body is polluted with 700 synthetic chemicals as well as heavy metals like mercury, lead and arsenic. And most likely, you’ve heard how important it is to detox your body of these chemicals and heavy metals. These toxins are making you sick… and Natural Health doctors say they must come out.

5 Surprising Sources of Toxins

Surprising Source #1: Canned Food

85% of all food cans sold in the U.S. — even those containing organic food — are lined with a plastic coating containing the chemical bisphenol A (BPA).
