These are taken from “The Maker’s Diet” by Jordan Rubin.
It is an amazing story of how we need to get back to homeopathic remedies rather than doctors and hospitals. God has given us everything we need on earth and in our bodies. The key to getting health and not getting sick is to keeping the body in working order with what God has given our bodies to work right and the natural things that He made.
There are 27 of these myths, so I will be posting 3 every one of my blog days!! I will also be posting what we do or believe about these Myths.
4. Take megavitamins
The use of massive amounts if vitamins and minerals is very unnatural--especially the popular and cheap synthetic and isolated “vitamins" created in chemical plants and widely sold in discount retail stores. The human body was not designed to consume such artificial products, especially in such excessive amounts. Nature prevents us from consuming 20,000mg of vitamin C in one day because it is impossible to consume 300 oranges in one day. Even if you could, it would produce one major colon cleanse! Vitamins and minerals that have not been incorporated into an organic matrix--- a natural food form containing all necessary cofactors---may actually be harmful to the body. It is better to supplement healthy food and beverage choices with living food supplements known as homeostatic nutrients rich in vitamins and minerals. This is a balanced form the body can absorb and utilize.
5. Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, and drink fluoride water.
Fluoride is extremely poisonous—especially the salt-based used in toothpaste and mouthwash. (Besides, its effectiveness is questionable at best.) A top EPA advisor voiced the opinion that “since recent federal government tests have shown that fluoride appears to cause cancers at levels less than ten times the present maximum contamination level, this would ordinarily require that all additions of fluoride to water supplies be suspended and treatment be instituted to remove naturally occurring fluoride.” That would be enough warning for me! (By the way, I have no evidence that the EPA ever suspended fluoridation operations.) Choose nonfluoridated alternatives for oral hygiene and be safe.
6. Use artificial sweeteners and avoid sugars.
As bad as sugar can be in its various forms, artificial sweeteners are worse! Some are downright deadly because of their carcinogenic properties and their use in such high-volume products such as diet soda and sugar-free foods. Chief among sinners is aspartame, which is marketed as NutraSweet and Equal. Renowned diabetes expert Dr. H. J. Roberts believes there is a clear scientific link between aspartame and increased incidence of brain tumors, seizure disorders, chronic headaches, and hyperactivity in children. As for saccharin, the cancer-causing labels that accompany its use still apply. The newcomer on the block is sucralose (used in Splenda), but the jury of scientific research still seems to be awaiting further testimony on this one. (If the Maker didn’t produce it “as is” then it probably isn’t much better than the other synthetic sugar substitutes.)
