12 THINGS YOU NEED TO ELIMINATE IMMEDIATELY FOR BETTER HEALTH
It�s no secret that human beings have adopted a lifestyle that doesn�t really take health
into consideration, especially when we are talking about the large number of products
that we choose to surround ourselves with on a daily basis, many of which have serious
health concerns associated with them. What�s even more troubling is the fact that these
products are still approved as safe by government agencies despite all of the evidence clearly
showing serious cause for concern.
The list of concerning items can indeed be a long one, and again, when we are talking
about disease, there is a general and growing consensus in the scientific community that
many of these products are responsible for the exponential rise in various diseases that
plague us today, including cancer.
Here is a list of 10 things you should eliminate from your life for better health.
1. Artificial Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are everywhere, and two of the most common ones are aspartame
and sucralose (Splenda). These products have been linked to a number of diseases, such
as diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and Alzheimer�s disease. They also promote obesity and disease
by disrupting your intestinal microflora. One of the largest studies of its kind recently
examined the link between diet drinks and cardiovascular issues, like heart attack and
stroke, in healthy, postmenopausal women. The research took place at the University
of Iowa, and the findings were presented at the American College of Cardiology�s 63rd
Annual Scientific Session in Washington, D.C.
60,000 women participated in the study, and it found that women who consumed two or more
diet drinks a day are 30 percent more likely to experience a cardiovascular event, and
50 percent more likely to die from a related disease.
A study out of Arizona State University, published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition, determined
that Aspartame causes brain damage by leaving traces of Methanol in the blood . Another
study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine determined that long-term consumption
of Aspartame leads to an imbalance in the antioxidant/pro-oxidant status in the brain
(source). Another study published by Washington University�s Medical School outlines a possible
connection between aspartame and brain tumors.
2. Electronic Devices
Electronic devices and the radiation emitted by them is everywhere. It�s not uncommon
for people to engage in activities (like smoking) and then decades later, become aware of the
consequences, and electronic devices like cell phones and WiFi signals are another great
example.
This is what the world would look like if cell phone radiation was visible.
Dr. Martin Blank, Ph.D., from the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Colombia
University, has joined a group of scientists from around the world who are making an international
appeal to the United Nations regarding the dangers associated with the use of various
electromagnetic emitting devices, like cell phones and WiFi.
Multiple studies have revealed that cell phone radiation can cause cancer. Did you know that
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radio frequency fields (including
those from cell phones) as a possible carcinogen in 2011 ? The dangers of cell phone use gained
a lot of mainstream credibility in 2011 when the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted
that cell phone radiation may cause cancer. The statement was based off of a cumulative
decision made by a team of 31 scientists, from 14 different countries, after reviewing
evidence that suggested this to be the case. You can read more about that here.
3. Pesticides
We recently published an article titled A Pregnant Woman Eating Organic Vs. Eating Conventinal:
It�s Time To Think About Your Baby.
In the article, we explain the difference between organic food and conventional food,
as well as provide a number of sources and studies showing clear concern about the pesticides
sprayed on our food and in the surrounding environment.
These chemicals have been linked to birth defects, cancer, Alzheimer�s disease, Parkinson�s
disease, autism and more. Using the Bradford Hill Criteria, the results of multiple studies
indicate that we have nudged ourselves into quite the dilemma.
Again, you can find all of the health concerns that are associated with the chemicals sprayed
on our food in the article linked above, and that doesn�t even include the environmental
concerns.
This is precisely why multiple countries have completely banned these pesticides from being
sprayed. In fact, 19 countries in Europe just banned Genetically Modified Crops from being
grown in their country, and that includes the pesticides that go with them.
4. Personal Care Products
Unfortunately, many personal care products are a terrible idea, and putting these products
on our skin makes absolutely no sense. For example, if we look at cancer, it�s caused
by physical carcinogens, chemical carcinogens, and biological carcinogens, all of which we
surround ourselves with on a daily basis, and all of which are in various personal care
products, such as many deodorants.
We recently wrote an article on how to prevent breast cancer through an armpit detox. The
article goes into detail about concerns with regard to aluminum, and how substances put
on our skin do not take long to penetrate and find their way into the bloodstream.
When it comes to cosmetics, there are thousands upon thousands of chemicals that are �okayed�
by corporate manufacturers, and considered safe. This is all that is needed; there is
no approved regulatory process for these chemicals and the potential harm they may cause.
Again, chemicals are very effectively absorbed through your skin. For example, the Faculty
of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, Canada, conducted a study to quantify how
many sunscreen agents penetrate the skin after it is applied. The results demonstrated significant
penetration of all sunscreen agents into the skin. We are talking about multiple chemicals
entering multiple tissues within the body.
When it comes to women, they tend to use several different products on a daily basis that can
contribute to an overload of toxic chemicals. Make-up is a huge source for heavy metals.
In the report Heavy Metal Hazard: The Health Risks of Hidden Heavy Metals In Face Make-up,
Environmental Defense tested 49 different make-up items, including foundations, concealers,
powders, blushes, mascaras, eye liners, eye shadows, lipsticks and lip glosses. Their
testing revealed serious heavy metal contamination in virtually all of their products.
96 percent contained lead 90 percent contained beryllium
61 percent contained thallium 51 percent contained cadmium
20 percent contained arsenic The Environmental Working Group has a great
database to help you find personal care products that are free of potentially dangerous chemicals.
Better yet, simplify your routine and make your own products. A slew of lotions, potions,
and hair treatments can be eliminated with a jar of coconut oil, for example, to which
you can add a high quality essential oil to for scent.
5. Commercial Cleaning Products
Having commercial cleaning products in your home is not a smart idea. Combined with the
rest of this list, it�s not hard to see how all of these products are associated with
the dramatic rise in disease we�ve seen over the past few decades.
We�ve covered this topic before, and outlined why these products are dangerous and what
alternatives you can use instead. Why We All Need To Stop Cleaning With Bleach is a great
example, so check it out if you�re interested to see where we are coming from.
Alternatives include baking soda, white vinegar, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, liquid castile
soap, organic essential oils, mixing bowls, spray bottles, microfiber clothes and more.
Why is it that these products could be manufactured to be much less hazardous, and in some cases
cheaper, but aren�t? It�s not hard to see why so many people believe that these
corporations have no problem in contributing to the decline of human health. A scary thought?
Yes, but there are things to do and preventative measures/ lifestyle changes you can make.
We are always talking about raising money and finding a cure for cancer, without a word
mentioned regarding cancer prevention.
6. Air Fresheners
When it comes to health, air fresheners are probably some of the worst products you can
have in your home. These commonly contain 2, 5-dichlorophenol (2, 5-DCP), a metabolite
of 1.4 dichlorobenzene. This stuff is present in the blood of nearly all Americans, has
been linked to lung damage, and has been known to cause organ system toxicity.
�Air fresheners have become a staple in many American homes and offices, marketed
with the promise of creating a clean, healthy, and sweet-smelling indoor atmosphere. But
many of these products contain phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) � hazardous chemicals
known to cause hormonal abnormalities, birth defects, and reproductive problems. NRDC�s
independent testing of 14 common air fresheners, none of which listed phthalates as an ingredient,
uncovered these chemicals in 86 percent (12 of 14) of the products tested, including those
advertised as �all natural� or �unscented.� � National Resources Defense Council
7. Plastic Food Containers & Bottles
Not long ago, German researchers discovered endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that
could adversely affect development and reproduction, to be contained in 18 different popular bottled
water products. Of the 24,520 suspect chemicals found to be present in bottled water, the
one that showed consistent results and illustrated anti-androgenic and anti-estrogenic activity
is di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate (DEHF). Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere
with the hormone system, they can cause cancerous tumours, birth defects, cardiovascular disorders,
metabolic disorders and as mentioned earlier, other developmental disorders.
There are other concerns, most notably bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-S (BPS), and phthalates.
Study Shows Regularly Used BPA Alternative BPS Could Be Just As Dangerous
BPA Shown To Negatively Impact Brain Development
Your best bet here is to avoid plastic containers, and replace them with glass bottles and containers.
It would be wise to choose glass baby bottles as well.
8. Avoid Processed Meats
Apart from the obvious heart-breaking treatment, abuse and murder of billions of animals raised
for slaughter every year, The World Health Organization recently linked processed meats
to cancer, and recommended reducing processed meat intake to reduce the chances of contracting
cancer.
�Eating processed meat such as sausage and bacon can cause cancer in humans, the World
Health Organization�s cancer agency says. Monday�s official designation from the France-based
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, places processed
meat in the Group 1 list as �carcinogenic to humans.� The agency said it based the
classification on sufficient evidence for colorectal cancer.�
This came after years of multiple researchers making this link. Whether you believe it or
not, or don�t see it as alarming, the fact remains: reducing your meat intake (specifically
processed meat intake) is a great path towards a healthier life.
In fact, some experts are suggesting that going completely meat-free is a better option
for those looking to optimize their health.
�Studies are confirming the health benefits of meat-free eating. Nowadays, plant-based
eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the
risk for many chronic illnesses.� � Harvard Medical School
It�s important to note that a very high and alarming percentage of Americans eat hardly
any vegetables whatsoever. According to the Wall Street Journal in 2011, approximately
80% of Americans who ate meat rarely consumed vegetables at all.
The American Dietetic Association weighed in with a position paper, concluding that
�appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets,
are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention
and treatment of certain diseases.� (Journal of the American Dietetic Association, July
2009) If you�re going to eat meat, it�s best
to make sure it is from an organic, free range grass-fed source.
9. Sitting In Your Chair
There�s a growing amount of research revealing that sitting in your chair (something many
of us do at work, school, etc.) could have some quite dramatic consequences on your health.
Prolonged sitting has been tied to a pre-curser for chronic disease and early death, even
if you exercise regularly and are in good shape.
A study published in the British Medical Journal found that prolonged sitting can increase
your risk of lung cancer by 50 percent. It�s also been found to increase your risk of death
in relation to several health problems.
10. Stress & Negativity
Science is starting to catch on to the idea that how you feel can directly alter your
genetic expression. It�s not just the environment that your genes respond to, it�s also your
conscious thoughts, emotions, and unconscious beliefs. Emotions can regulate genetic expression,
and a great book recommendation to find out more about that is called The Biology of Belief
& Spontaneous Evolution, written by cellular biologist Bruce Lipton.
Researchers at the HeartMath Institute are showing the same findings. They show how emotional
information is actually coded and modulated into the heart�s electromagnetic field.
They show that by shifting our emotions, we can change the information that is coded into
these magnetic fields. Their research also sheds light on the fact that different emotional
states are responsbile for creating different brain states. You can read more about that
in an article we recently published here.
Furthermore, findings in quantum physics are showing how factors associated with consciousness
can and do indeed have some sort of affect on our physical material world. You can find
out more about that here.
There is also the case of neuroplasticity, which is the idea that the brain is changeable,
adaptable, and malleable. It shows how the brain can change its structure by how we perceive
the world around us.
�Human thoughts and learning actually turn on certain genes in our nerve cells which
allow those cells to make new connections between them.� �Dr. Norman Doidge, MD,
author of The Brain That Changes Itself
There is also the idea of distant healing:
�Over the past thirty years, significant scientific research has been conducted on
the potential effectiveness and value of distant healing practices. The practice of distant
healing is drawing increased attention as an important component of integral medicine
models that blend a range of approaches to health and healing. Many leading health professionals
and spiritual leaders believe distant healing practices may significantly expand the capacity
to facilitate healing.� � Marilyn Schlitz, PhD, President of the Institute for Noetic
Sciences (IONS)

Emotions and the way you feel are a huge part with regard to your overall health
Dairy
Remember those milk commercials you used to see as a kid, claiming that milk �does the
body good�? It turns out that might not be true at all. In fact, it could be the complete
opposite. New evidence continues to emerge suggesting that drinking milk from a cow is
not really natural, and not really good nor necessary for us at all. It�s not a coincidence
that approximately 65 to 75 percent of the total human population on our planet have
a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. In some countries, more than 90 percent
of the adult population is lactose intolerant.
