Question: Where can I find Nonfluoridated toothpaste. Senior EPA people have come out to speak against it.? I'm sick of the lies. This isn't the first time the government has lied about something big. http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/DrRobertCarton.htm Dr. William Marcus, an EPA senior science adviser and toxicologist stated in "Food and Water Journal," 1998, " Fluoride is a carcinogen by any stand we use. I believe EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects." I know very well the inclination of people in high power to make a profit at people's expense and to use manipulative information to keep those in the media and scientific community in compliance. Fluoride was a menacing air pollutant until large companies found out they could get rid of it in water and say it was the holy grail for teeth decay prevention.

Answer: There are plenty of toothpastes that do not have fluoide, just check the label. However, you can not believe everything that is on the internet. Fluoride is good for the teeth. It is naturally in water in many areas and they do not have a cancer problem. Todays children have far fewer dental carries than the generation before fluoride.

Question: Religious cause dead in more children Colorado Children's Deaths Rekindle Debate on Religion By MICHAEL JANOFSKY ENVER, Feb. 20 — The deaths over the last two years of three Colorado children whose parents denied them medical treatment on religious grounds has fueled support for state legislation that would prevent parents from using their religion as a defense against prosecution. The parents of all three children belong to the General Assembly and Church of the First Born, a small denomination that believes in prayer, rather than medical treatment, to cure illnesses and disabilities. Largely as a result of intense lobbying by the Church of Christ, Scientist, which also favors prayer over medicine, Colorado and 45 other states have statutes that allow parents to use their religious beliefs as a defense against prosecution for withholding medical treatment from their children. The exceptions are Hawaii, Massachusetts, Nebraska and North Carolina. But with evidence that dozens of other children of parents with similar beliefs may have died in the last 25 years in Colorado, this state has become one of the first to consider eliminating the religious exemption, which its opponents say sanctifies a form of child abuse. The effort has rekindled a debate here, pitting religious freedom against the rights of children. "I don't think freedom of religion should allow a child to die for not getting proper medical care," said State Senator Bob Hagedorn, a Democrat who is leading support in the Senate for a bill now under review in the House. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that parents do not have an absolute right to deny their children medical treatment on religious grounds, saying in a 1944 decision that while parents "may be free to become martyrs themselves," "it does not follow they are free, in identical circumstances, to make martyrs of their children." The court reprised the same thought in a 1990 case. But legal experts say that state and local officials have not seen the Supreme Court language as a clear directive for prosecution of child abuse and homicide cases. Congress did little to clarify the issue with a 1974 directive that required states receiving federal money for child abuse and prevention programs to have an exemption for parents who substitute spiritual healing for medical care. The requirement was rescinded nine years later, but by then, most states had enacted their religious exceptions, which effectively allow parents to treat ailing children through prayer without fear of prosecution if something goes wrong. Then in 1996, Congress seemed to reverse itself in the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, saying there was no federal requirement that a child must be provided "any medical service or treatment against the religious beliefs of the parent or legal guardian." In Colorado, for example, prosecutors have always been able to bring civil charges against parents who deny their children medical help under state civil laws. But few have, said State Representative Kay L. Alexander, the House Republican sponsoring the measure, which was approved 8 to 3 by the Criminal Justice Committee. Ms. Alexander said the exemption in the criminal code "has had a chilling effect" on local district attorneys. Leaders from many of the dozens of churches that favor prayer over treatment say they have ample proof their spiritual healing works as effectively as a visit to a doctor. Marvin Peterson, an elder of the church to which the families of the three dead children belong, said a member recently fell off a ladder and cracked open her skull. After elders prayed and anointed her with oil, he said, she recovered. "I've seen people healed of cancer, seen it with my own eyes," Mr. Peterson said, taking strong exception to critics who characterize the church as a cult. "We believe that if it's the Lord's will, you will rise up." While few critics of Mr. Peterson's church and other like-minded denominations argue with the right of parents to choose the manner of treatment for themselves, they assert that children have constitutional guarantees to medical care. For years, Rita Swan has been one of the leading voices on their behalf as founder of Children's Health Care Is a Legal Duty, an organization based in Sioux City, Iowa, that lobbies for removing the state exemptions. Once a Christian Scientist, Mrs. Swan said that in 1977 a church "practitioner" — a member who is paid to pray — told her and her husband after several weeks of prayer that their 17-month-old son, Matthew, was suffering from a broken bone. Since Christian Scientists are allowed to consult doctors for broken bones, the Swans took Matthew to a hospital, only to learn he was suffering from spinal meningitis. He died a week later. Mrs. Swan and Dr. Seth M. Asser, a pediatrician in San Diego, released a study in 1998 that found 172 cases of children dying between 1975 and 1995, more than 30 of them in Colorado, after their parents failed to get them medical treatment on religious grounds. Mr. Peterson responded, "Children also die in hospitals every day." Prosecutors have been loath to bring charges in many cases because of the ambiguities of the law and what they say are well-intentioned actions of parents whose religious beliefs are so strong that they prefer to put their children in the hands of God, rather than a doctor. Frank Daniel, the Mesa County district attorney, had jurisdiction in the cases of the three Colorado children who died. He won a conviction for criminally negligent child abuse, a felony, in 1999 against the parents of an 18-day-old infant who died of meningitis. He declined to prosecute the parents of a 3-day-old infant who died of a heart defect. He said today that he had yet decided what to do in the latest case, involving Amanda Bates, a 13-year-old girl who died of complications of diabetes two weeks ago. The county coroner, Robert Kurtzman, ruled her death a homicide. Copyright February 21, 2001 The New York Times Company Also see Religious cult won't acknowledge Child!

Answer: These mind control cults are just like the cigarette companies. They know that if they can get you when you are young (vulnerable and impressionable) they will most likely have you for the rest of your life. On the other hand, if you can make it to adulthood without falling into one of their traps then you most likely never will. Perhaps we need some laws on the books to make indoctrinating anyone under 18 years of age into one of these mind control cults a form of child abuse.

Question: Why do women wear bras? Increase chances of breast cancer greatly: http://www.all-natural.com/bras.html http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/05/19/Can-Wearing-Your-Bra-Cause-Cancer.aspx http://www.chetday.com/breastcancerandbras.htm http://www.turbonet.com/do_bras_cause_breast_cancer.htm and they do not prevent sagging (sports bras do though) and they will appear to sag less while you wear a bra: http://www.007b.com/bra_sagging.php http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2868/do-bras-prevent-saggy-breasts And for those of you who don't feel like clicking on links (one of each will get the point across, but I was showing you i didn't just find one b.s. source) I will paste a portion from each: cancer: Says Dr. Michael Schacter, M.D. in his article, The Prevention and Complementary Treatment of Breast Cancer[2]: * Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group). * Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk. * Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk. * Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference. Over 85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from the breast drains to the armpit lymph nodes. Most of the rest drains to the nodes along the breast bone. Bras and other external tight clothing can impede flow. The nature of the bra, the tightness, and the length of time worn, will all influence the degree of blockage of lymphatic drainage. Thus, wearing a bra might contribute to the development of breast cancer as a result of cutting off lymphatic drainage, so that toxic chemicals are trapped in the breast." Annnnd sagging, not even the bra manufactures can claim it prevents it: Even the bra industry seems to know this, as the following quote illustrates: "We have no evidence that wearing a bra could prevent sagging, because the breast itself is not muscle, so keeping it toned up is an impossibility. What it can do, particularly for larger-breasted women, is obviously to provide the comfort and the support. So, if a woman wants a particular breast profile, she will buy a particular brand, and that is what they're designed for. There's no permanent effect on the breast from wearing a particular bra. The bra will give you the shape the bra's been designed to give while you're wearing it. Of course, when you take it off, you go 'au natural.' " executive John Dixey at Bras, Bare Facts documentary (those were just extracted from some of the links, for more info, click on them) my guess is that most women are unaware of all of this. Oh yeah, and feel free to show me any sources or studies or evidence or anything that says otherwise than the 2 points (they don't prevent sagging, (except for sports bras during exercise which do) and they increase chances for cancer. there's also a section about metal underwire bras being unhealthy, and how plastic wire is better. well, what do you think? why do women wear bras? comfort? privacy? to try to be sexy? HA! just found something interesting. Men have the same chance of getting breast cancer as braless women, but more women get breast cancer than men (and more women wear bras) http://www.naturalnews.com/025315_cancer_bra_breast_cancer.html so those of you who think they don't cause cancer despite what science and research shows, explain that!! I guess if you reject science, research, and logic. Show me something that shows no strong correlation between breast cancer and bra wearing

Answer: I wear a bra because it gives my breasts a move even shape (no cone shape that they get sometimes without a bra) and the bra keeps everything in place when I'm walking, running, bending down, etc. I don't wear a bra to prevent sagging. I'm a 34B and have NO sagging right now, and I doubt I'll get any until I have a child. ETA: I don't believe one bit that bras cause breast cancer. Women have been wearing corsets and constricting clothing around their breasts for almost a thousand years. My grandmother actually didn't wear a bra very often and she died of breast cancer at 52.

Question: Can you help me make the right decision? My mom just had a very small cancerous breast tumor. Cancer did not spread to any of her lymph nodes and she got 5 day radiation. She is 83 years old. She is supposed to start taking Arimedix for the next five years as a prevention. When I read the side effects my jaw dropped, she will get the same symptoms as chemotherapy with the exception of her hair not falling out. 1- Nausea, vomiting 2- Joint pains (will need to be on Tylenol all this time) 3- Her bones have very high chance of becoming brittle and fractured easily 4- Becomes disoriented and dizzy This is just a few.....She is now very active, not a bone in her body aches, sleeps like a baby and has great appetite which allows me to feed her with good nutritional foods. Should I allow her lifestyle to change for the years she's got to live into a miserable, painful one or should I trust that this cancer will not come back which the doctor herself said she has a good chance it will not. This is really tearing me apart, I want the best for her, but seeing her bedridden with all these symptoms to avoid something that has very little chance to return will hurt me even more. What would your choice be?

Answer: Arimidex is hormone therapy and though it does have potential side effects they are not nearly as severe as chemo and many patients experience little or no side effects at all. There is no reason she would become bedridden and it is not likely to change her lifestyle. Women use this drug and go back to work and their normal lives everyday. And there is no doubt it does reduce the risk of recurrence. Look at the potential side effects at any medicine you have right now, even over the counter medicines, they all look scary. That said your points are valid. From what you are saying going either way would be appropriate. Tumors under 2cm with no lymph node involvement have a 20 year disease free survival of 75-90% with mastectomy alone. I suspect your mother had a lumpectomy followed by radiation which would produce similar results. These situations are not black and white. This is when the recommendation of the oncologist requires a blend of science and the art of medicine. A good oncologist will explain the reasoning behind their recommendation and it should make sense to you. I think you should get a second opinion and maybe even a third. Listen to what they have to say and go with what makes the most sense to you and your mom and with what your guts tell you. After that don’t look back and enjoy your lives. Best wishes to you both.

Question: Would this work to help with acne and acne scars? #2? Key Ingredients: Vitamin A is important for the prevention of night blindness and other eye problems, as well as some skin disorders, such as acne. It is also important in the formation of bones and teeth. Numerous other benefits include maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue, of which skin and mucous membranes are (1) composed, protection against infections, and antioxidant cell protection. Vitamin B Complex: Eight different nutrients make up the Vitamin B Complex: Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Cyanocobalamin, Biotin, and Folic Acid. Though grouped as a family, they each perform unique and separate functions, which include enhancing the metabolic rate by breaking down fats, carbohydrates and protein for energy, and maintaining healthy nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, and brain function. They are important for heart health and are an effective aid in lowering cholesterol. B-complex vitamins also act as coenzymes, helping enzymes to react (2) chemically with other substances. Vitamin C is critical for numerous metabolic functions, including tissue growth and repair, glandular functions, and healthy gums. It aids in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon (an immune- system protein), and it can combine with toxic substances, such as certain heavy metals, and render them harmless so they can be eliminated from the body. Vitamin C works synergistically with Vitamins A and E; that is, when working together, they have a greater effect than the sum of their individual effects. Supplementation of this vitamin is critical, as the body cannot manufacture it.(3) Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin required for absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. It is especially important for the growth and development of bones and teeth. It protects against muscle weakness and aids in heartbeat regulation.(4) Lutein is an important antioxidant for eye and skin health. Research also suggests that Lutein found in blood serum may be linked with less thickening of arterial walls.(5) Lycopene is a phytochemical found to reduce the risk of prostate and lung cancer. With correct dosages, Lycopene may also reduce the risk of digestive cancers. Astaxanthin eases arthritis and joint pain, sore muscles, and protects against heart disease. It is a potent antioxidant derived from micro algae. Because it crosses the blood/brain barrier, it offers oxidative protection for the nervous system. Zeaxanthin protects cells in the eyes from free radical damage, which may reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that aids in protecting the liver and pancreas.(6) Green Tea Leaf Extract is used to lower cholesterol levels, stimulate the immune system, and regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. Amino Acid Complex important for metabolic functions, such as helping the brain receive and send messages. Facilitates the absorption and assimilation of vitamins and minerals by the body. Herbal Energy Blend (Peppermint leaf, Rhodiola rosea root, Eleuthero): Promotes stress-relieving effects for added energy, which contribute to immune system enhancement. Also aids in digestion.

Answer: It says in the second paragraph under Vitamin B Complex "Though grouped as a family, they each perform unique and separate functions, which include enhancing the metabolic rate by breaking down fats, carbohydrates and protein for energy, and maintaining healthy nerves, SKIN, eyes, hair, liver, and brain function. They are important for heart health and are an effective aid in lowering cholesterol. Also: Vitamin A is important for the prevention of night blindness and other eye problems, as well as some skin disorders, such as ACNE. It is also important in the formation of bones and teeth. So, I would go with the first 2. This is informative for me as well. Thanks!

Question: Where can I find Nonfluoridated toothpaste. Senior EPA people have come out to speak against it.? I'm sick of the lies. This isn't the first time the government has lied about something big. http://www.zerowasteamerica.org/DrRobertCarton.htm Dr. William Marcus, an EPA senior science adviser and toxicologist stated in "Food and Water Journal," 1998, " Fluoride is a carcinogen by any stand we use.

Fluoride was a menacing air pollutant until large companies found out they could get rid of it in water and say it was the holy grail for teeth decay prevention.

Answer: Even if we accept that the FDA operated under pressure from the government to accept fluoridation of drinking water a few decades ago, you are still left with a LOT of explaining to do. For example, to date NO country on the planet has rejected water fluoridation on the basis of health concerns. What's more the Center for Disease Control released a report only last year that suggested that fluoridation of drinking water reduced cavities by 29% (link 1). If your position is that a secret conspiracy is forcing fluoridation upon us, then your conspiracy will have to be world-wide - influencing every country on Earth - and still dominant in its influence to alter reports made both long ago and recently. To make matters worse, one of the common criticisms of fluoridated drinking water is that fluoridation is only effective topically. Which is to say that even if you removed it from water, you would ESPECIALLY want to have it in toothpaste and dentists' offices. So drink bottled water if you like, but re-formulating your toothpaste as well would seem to be misguided at best. Keep in mind that there is evidence the fluorine is a NUTRIENT. Which is to say that if you removed every trace of it from your diet, it would have negative effects on your health (link 2). And not just your dentition. This doesn't show up too much because fluorine is naturally in lots and lots of foods. So good luck avoiding it altogether. Still, it's a free country, and if you want to avoid fluorine in your toothpaste and water, I think you should have every right to. Two of the more popular brands of fluorine-free toothpaste are 'Nature's Gate' and 'Tom's of Maine' (links 3 and 4, respectively). Both are typically sold in health-food stores. Both (and many similar brands) go with the 'add only the minimum and natural ingredients' course... so certainly no fluoride. Hope that helps!

Question: prevention of bone cancer?

Answer: like the other cancer prevention, try as possible to avoid carcinogenic factors. Carcinogenic factors are the factors which induces cancer inside the normal human body. Those factors, such as all well-barbaqued foods, or any kind of junk food are also carcinogenic factors.
