How would your garden look without sunshine? ‘Blah’ may be a good word. Just as a plant turns sunshine into energy through photosynthesis, your skin uses UV light from the sun to manufacture vitamin D. If you are deficient in this nutrient, it may be one of the primary reasons you feel so ‘blah.’
Study after study continues to support vitamin D as being a chief prerequisite to a healthy immune system, as well as a primary defender against numerous cancers including lymphoma, prostate, ovarian, lung, breast, skin, and colon cancer.
In the February 2006 edition of the American Journal of Public Health, it was reported that taking sufficient amounts of Vitamin D could lower cancer risk by as much as 50 percent.

A 15-week study at the Division of Kinesiology, Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Laval University, Ste-Foy, Québec, Canada, was recently published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was entitled…Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and fat mass loss in female very low-calcium consumers: potential link with a calcium-specific appetite control.
The researchers found that the women who had consumed 600 mg or less of elemental calcium per day did not show significant fat loss, but the women who took 1,200 mg of calcium daily showed a significant decrease in body weight, fat mass, and spontaneous dietary lipid (fat) intake. Meaning, not only did it positively influence body composition but the dietary fat intake also went down, which possibly means that the brain may not be craving as much fat.

One of the most effective and most certainly the cheapest form of cleansing and detoxing is also one of natures most powerful solvents…water.
Natures gifts are abundantly present if you seek to use them.
I can make a very strong case that filtered water and detoxification through cleansing can make a big impact on your overall health. If you’re trying to flush waste out of your body, it only makes sense that you drink water that doesn’t have waste in it!
Years ago people died due to things like cholera and typhoid which contaminated our water supplies. Now with the advancements of ‘medicine’ our municipal drinking water is cleansed of most germs — but not drugs. The Associated Press learned, during a five-month investigation, that millions of Americans are drinking water that’s tested positive for minute concentrations of pharmaceuticals.
If you haven’t heard, not too long ago, a whole slew of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsant meds, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — were found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans. More than 300,000 people suffer from renal failure each year and undergo kidney dialysis and then wait for a kidney transplant.
If you don’t think you can afford a water filtration system check out the costs of kidney dialysis… over $1 Billion per year in the U.S.
It may cost patients as much as $30K per month… do the math for the co-pay. The kidneys are pretty small organs by weight, but they receive a huge amount – about 20% – of the blood pumped by the heart each minute. Every day, your kidneys process and cleanse about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products. Be mindful of your ‘machine.’ Love and nurture it and it will, by nature, take care of you.
