Remember SID - Selenium, Iodine/ide, D-vitamin

The three absolute essentials to fight off today's toxins.

S = Selenium

"Selenium is needed for the proper functioning of the immune system, and appears to be a key nutrient in counteracting the development of virulence and inhibiting HIV progression to AIDS. It is required for sperm motility and may reduce the risk of miscarriage. Deficiency has been linked to adverse mood states. Findings have been equivocal in linking selenium to cardiovascular disease risk although other conditions involving oxidative stress and inflammation have shown benefits of a higher selenium status. An elevated selenium intake may be associated with reduced cancer risk." - [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our cultivating soil is deficient in most minerals these days, especially selenium. As an example, it would take eight of today's carrots to provide the same amount of nutrients of a carrot from only a few decades ago.

I = Iodine + Iodide

Most commonly found in the form of Lugols solution o Iodoral tablets.

If you look at the periodic table of elements, you will see that Iodine occupies the same column (second from the right) as Fluorine, Chlorine and Bromine. Chlorinated water ring a bell? Fluoridated drinking water ring a bell? Everyone should know by now how harmful those two elements are to your body.

The magical workings of the way a family of elements works is in how they tend to displace one another. While Fluorine, Chlorine and Bromine accumulate in the body through daily intake, they can be displaced, or pushed out of the body by inviting Iodine in. The key to remember here is that the higher up the column, the more reactive the halogen (name for this group of elements). The more reactive, the easier it can displace a less reactive element. Therefore, Fluorine can displace Chlorine can displace Bromine can displace Iodine. Conversely, you can see how much more difficult it is for Iodine to displace years of accumulation of Fluorine and Chlorine. It can be done, though. Begin today.

D - vitamin D

D would be the most important vitamin if, in fact, it was a vitamin. It is more a hormone than a vitamin, though. An absolutely essential one at that.

Vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels today. A daily intake of D3 supplementation is highly essential to help our bodies combat the onslaught of nature's and man made pathogens.

For more information, google "vitamin D flu", "vitamin D cancer", "vitamin D anti microbial peptides"






As an added bonus for your health cabinet (as opposed to "medicine cabinet"), I would stock up on:

- Cayenne pepper powder. A natural anti-inflammatory, this wonder-spice saved me twice this past winter. While everyone was running around coughing and sneezing with the alleged swine flu, I came down with scratchy throat and leaky nose twice. Each time, I made cayenne tea before bed, two nights in a row, and each time I came out like new and in full vibrant health. Google "cayenne and arteries" for added amazing benefit.

- coffee for enema (SA Wilson's; or organic, extra light roast). Adopted from the Gerson Therapy, coffee enemas are much gentler than full colon clenses, while providing a similarly effective purge. Most importantly, it stimulates liver detoxification.

"Coffee has a chemical makeup that is stimulative. The enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates, help the liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein, then taken up to the liver by the portal vein. With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins away to the gastro-intestinal tract. Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is encouraged because of the flooding of the lower colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the toxins and bile are carried out of the body." - [link to curezone.com]

With respect to all of the above, it is best to remember that, above all, moderation is key.

Stay safe!
