Love Between Animals – A Touching Video & The Truth About Mercury Fillings

              Love Between Animals – A Touching Video

A friend sent me this link to a very touching video on the love between animals. I watched it and said “AWWWWWWWWW!” I think you will too. Enjoy and keep in mind, we should be as “species blind” or in our case “color-blind” as these animals.

             The Truth About Mercury Fillings

Now that you’ve had your dose of love, let’s look at a very positive development concerning mercury fillings. For years people and groups have been fighting to ban mercury fillings from being used to fill dental cavities. It’s been an uphill battle. Well, it seems that the battle is just about over.

The FDA, on September 24, 2020, released its findings on the safety of mercury amalgams or I should say the lack of safety of mercury fillings. The FDA found that mercury fillings may adversely affect people in certain high-risk groups and that those people should avoid mercury fillings.

These groups included: 

Pregnant women and their developing fetus

Nursing women

Women who planned to become pregnant 

Infants and children under the age of 6

People with neurological diseases

People with impaired kidney function

People with heightened sensitivity to mercury and other components in the amalgam

The FDA has admitted that dental amalgam’s release mercury vapor. They also advised dentist to not use the term “silver fillings” since it is misleading.

So…while it’s not a total ban, you need to just look at the list and ask yourself some questions - “why in the world would I want to put mercury fillings in my body when it can cause so much harm to so many people. Can I view it as really safe even if I’m not in the groups listed above, and finally, is it even worth the risk when there are good options to use instead of mercury?

Mercury’s days are finally numbered!

Using Blue Light To Heal Without Antibiotics

bluehealBecause of overuse of antibiotics, we’ve been enabling the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as, MRSA.

People in hospitals can become infected with MRSA and might die from the complication since there are no good defenses available.

Well, that may be changing with the publication of a study by Massachusetts General Hospital. In the study, the researchers
used blue light to stop infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in lab animals.

Until they started using the blue light the bacteria was beginning to overpower the immune system.

When the animals were treated with blue light, all of the inflected animals treated with the light survived, while 82% of the controls died.

In another study, blue light has been shown to eradicate 90% of the strains of MRSA within minutes of exposure to the light.

Using blue light has been approved by the FDA years ago for the treatment of severe acne. So…we may have an easy way out with all the antibiotic-resistant bugs developing.

Almonds Have Earned The Claim That It Protects Your Heart

The FDA has given almonds a qualified health claim that it protects the heart when you eat 11/2 ounces a day.
Now, the difficulty has been that this totaled only 12 whole almonds, and you might not be able to stop at 12.
This has now changed. Recently, food scientists discovered that almonds have 32 fewer calories than previously thought.
So…how about a big bunch of chocolate covered almonds, yummy!
