Is Your Plastic Water Bottle or Filter Safe?

Many people buy bottled water because they believe it is good for them. In actual fact, it is most likely doing more harm than good. All plastic water bottles in Ireland are made from a type of plastic called Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE). This is indicated by the number 1 inside the little triangle on the bottom of the bottle. PET and PETE contain bisophenpl A and is implicated in a wide range of health disorders. Drinking from plastic increases your risk of breast and prostate cancer and many other diseases.

The Real Story Behind Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water

Is drinking water safe to drink?

The answer unfortunately is no. There are over 2,000 contaminants in the water coming from our water taps, many of them are carcinogenic. The main ones are flouride and chlorine and heavy metals. This is the water you drink, cook with and shower in. Owning a filtration system for your home is the best way to ensure that the water you drink is clean and healthy. With this said, many of us struggle with what type of system to invest in. I would like to discuss which ones not to invest in and why, including the health implications of drinking demineralised water, the main being something called acidosis, and the negative environmental impact of using electricity to filter water. These systems I will discuss include reverse osmosis and distilled water.

Natural Alternatives to the Antidiabetic Drug Avandia

If you have diabetes, this article is intended for information purposes. I would stronlgy recommend a consulation to determine a prescription that is right for you rather than self medicating.

The world is currently in the grip of a diabetes epidemic due to spiralling obesity rates. But rather than encouraging people to exercise and eat well, the NHS have recently suggested increasing rates of gastric bypass surgery to save money, as the costs of treating diabetes with drugs reaches unsustainable levels. The NHS spent more than half a billion pounds on just one drug for diabetes alone called Avandia in 2009. With this medicines safety now in question, in the light of recent scientific evidence that it poses increased risk of heart attack, it seems that the medicine's regulator may be putting the interests of the drugs industry before patients. Besides moderate weight loss and regular exercise, are there also natural alternatives to help manage your diabetes.

Natural Alternatives to Statins to Reduce Cholesterol

See also Carahealth Lower Cholesterol

There are now 900 studies proving the adverse effects of the popularly prescribed statins drugs, inluding muscle problems, diabetes, birth defects, exercise-related muscle damage and increased cancer risk. In my opinion, there is absolutely no need to take statins, as herbs, supplements and diet can lower cholesterol  without harmful side effects, and at a saving to the states of overstretched countries. The risk of statins is just too great.

Naturopathic Causes and Treatment of Cancer

See also Carahealth Anticancer


The tumour is not the disease but an indication of an underlying Pattern of Disharmony that can be addressed through adequate nutrition and appropriate lifestyle advice. From a naturopathic perspective, cancer is caused by cell damage due to a number of factors including free radicals, toxins, aging and chronic inflammation. This leads to;

  • Genetic mutation.
  • This leads to cell death and hyperproliferation of cell.
  • Then this creates angionenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels.
  • In the development of cancer there is a lack of cell differentiation due to immune weakness.
  • Nutritional deficiencies cause the dysfunction of the immune system. Normally, the immune system should identify the unhealthy cells and kill them.  Many nutrients are involved in maintaining a healthy immune system.

Naturopathic Causes and Treatment of Autism

Autism is a brain development disorder characterised by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviour. These signs all begin before a child is three years old. The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) also include the related conditions Asperger syndrome. Asperger's however, has no delay in language development. Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is unclear. Proposed environmental causes are heavy metals, pesticides and childhood vaccines. One study suggests implicates the hygiene hypothesis as a cause of autism.

As reported on Monday, 28 March 2011 on the BBC news a panel of experts have reported in the Lancet Oncology that drugs such as tamoxifen could reduce the chances of developing breast cancer.

Tamoxifen of course is a powerful drug with side-effects. So women would need to think carefully before deciding whether they wanted to take the treatment long-term and look at alternatives such as dietary lifestyle changes that reduce breast cancer risk.
