If you have been reading my fluoride posts and find them informative, please share them so we can make sure everyone is educated on the issue and, give them the opportunity to attend the city council meeting on April 3rd at Norway City Hall. If you are planning on attending yourself, please indicate that in this post or PM me so I know how many people are planning on speaking up and so I know if I need to be more aggressive in my approach to educate the residents of Norway. This is a VERY important local issue and somewhere that you can make a difference. If no one voices their opinion, the council won't know what the citizens want and you can't complain if they decide to reinstitute the program. Thank you!

REASON #4: WHY WE SHOULD ASK THE CITY OF NORWAY TO PERMANENTLY CEASE ADDING FLUORIDE TO OUR WATER.

FLUORIDE DRAMATICALLY INCREASES THE RISK OF DEVELOPING OSTEOSARCOMA (BONE CANCER) IN YOUNG MALES

Osteosarcoma is a rare but deadly form of bone cancer. It has been shown that fluoride exposure increases the risk of teen and early 20-year-old males of developing osteosarcoma. A national case control study published in 2006 by Harvard scientists found that boys exposed to fluoridated water during their 6th, 7th, and 8th years of life (the mid-childhood growth spurt) had a significantly elevated risk of developing osteosarcoma during adolescence. (Bassin 2006).

The studies show that it is very likely that there is an increased risk of developing osteosarcoma in young males when they have early exposure to fluoride. Although there are many other factors to consider, the evidence is strong for this link. Even IF it the fluoride is not solely responsible, the 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 but also unproven benefit does not outweigh the potential but likely risk of developing osteosarcoma or other forms of cancer. If you'd like further studies and information, see the link below.

Please attend the April 3rd Norway City Council meeting to let the council know that you'd prefer they discontinue fluoridating our water. If you cannot attend this meeting, please write a letter with your position on the issue. This will help provide them with feedback in making their decision.

Please share!

According to the National Toxicology Program (NTP), "the preponderance of evidence" from laboratory studies indicates that fluoride is a mutagen (a compound that can cause genetic damage). A chemical that can cause genetic damage is one that can likely cause, or contribute to, the development of can...

Learn to feed yourself in accordance to your environment and your symptoms to stay on a path to wellness. Check out my post on Wellness Wonderland for more information on how to tell if you are too damp and how to feed yourself well if you are.

Did you know that Chinese Medicine deeply believes that the weather can impact our health? Anyone with osteoarthritis could likely attest to this sentiment. But did you know that they also believe that the food we eat can help to counter, or on the other hand, exacerbate, the effects of the weather? Every food that we eat has a set of properties that can help balance the opposite condition. What does that mean exactly? There are foods that are considered "hot" or "warming" foods that will help to counter "cold" conditions. There are foods that are "cool" that will help to counter "heat" conditions. There are foods that are "drying" that will help to counter "damp" conditions. You get the idea. So, today (in my home area, but this will apply to all of us at some point unless you live in the desert), it is a good idea to eat warming, drying foods. This is especially true if you regularly tend to have symptoms of dampness (sinus congestion, diarrhea, edema (swelling) of any part of your body, trouble with candida (yeast), fatigue, excessive vaginal discharge, greasy skin/acne, allergies, heaviness of the body, obesity or excess weight, excess mucus, certain tumors or cysts, and pain that is "stuck in one spot".) These are just some examples of how dampness manifests in the body. If these things sound familiar to you, you might be wondering, what foods you should eat to help. Knowing which foods to eat is very important, but knowing which foods to avoid is equally, if not MORE important. So, here are a list of foods (not comprehensive by any means but a good start) that help to reduce dampness and then a list of foods that will increase dampness and should be avoided in these conditions. Food truly can be your medicine or your poison, when you learn the properties of food, you can start to feed your body for wellness.

(See photo, if too much dampness can do that to a wall, what do you think it can do to your body?)

Have you been trying to eat better? Do you ever go into the grocery store and feel overwhelmed by the options? Do all the ingredients make your head spin? Have you ever thought, “I wish I had a personal grocery store tour guide to help me buy the best food for my particular situation!!”? Well… now you can! I am going to be launching a service where I can help you learn how to grocery shop for the lifestyle you WANT to live rather than the lifestyle you’re “stuck” living. This will be a paid service (prices yet to be determined) where we make an appointment where I meet you at the grocery store of your choice (distance will be factored into the price) and help you learn how to navigate the grocery store and buy what fits the lifestyle you desire to live. More detail to follow… if you’re interested or know someone who is interested, drop a message in the comments or PM me with questions/comments. Please share with anyone you think may find value in this service. Thank you!! 🍅 🥒 🥩 🍗 🥪 🥔
