Vote No on SOPA and PIPA

2012-01-18T17:33:00.000-08:00

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA. The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs.

Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.

Take Action - Sign the Petition to Stop SOPA and PIPA

Amalgam Fillings -Twelve Points on Mercury Toxicity

2011-11-24T07:34:00.001-08:00

Written and compiled by Dr. John Whitman Ray N.D., M.D. (M.A.)
http://users.penn.com/~rarearts/mercurypoisoning.htm

I have had the pleasure of testing several hundred patients and studentsin my field of Body Electronics with the Jerome Mercury Vapor Analyzer.I have found only two people in all my testing who have not evidenced acontinual toxic exposure to mercury vapor emanating from silver amalgamdental fillings under normal chewing compression. The amount of mercuryvapor emitted under normal chewing compression exceeded in ten secondswhat the maximum allowable mercury exposure would be in industry in a 40hour work week as is indicated by both Russian and U.S.A. standards. Thisamount of exposure to mercury vapor is totally unacceptable to the scientificmind.

Dentists have been educated to believe that once mercuryhas been combined into the filling material, it remains "locked in"and can't come out. The sad fact is that there is absolutely no scientificresearch in existence to support this hypothesis. To the contrary, allevidence indicates that silver amalgam containing approximately 50% mercuryis a source of extremely toxic elemental mercury adversely affecting thehealth of the human body.

Evidence now demonstrates that surface particles of theamalgam filling material are being chemically broken down and releasedinto the oral cavity. These minute particles of mercury filling are actedupon by oral and intestinal bacteria to produce methyl mercury, an evenmore toxic form of mercury than elemental mercury with target areas beingprimarily the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and the brain.

It has been demonstrated that dissimilar metals in the mouth canalso contribute to electrical activity and corrosion (much like a battery)and can result in unexplained pain, ulcerations, inflammation and disruptionof corresponding meridians in the body. This may result in a wide rangeof unexplained symptoms and disease.
The presence of mercury in dental amalgam fillings has been shownconclusively to adversely affect the body's immune response. It has beenshown that after amalgam removal the red and white blood cell levels tendto seek normal range with a corresponding increase in the body's immuneresponse as evidenced by Tlymphocyte count increase.
Research has indicated that mercury is the single most toxic metalthat has been investigated, even more toxic than lead, cadmium or arsenic.
The International Conference on Biocompatibility of Materials washeld in November 1988 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S.A. Many of theworld authorities on mercury and mercury toxicity met to discuss the issueof dental amalgam and other materials used in dentistry. Their officialconclusion was drafted and signed which read: Based on the known toxicpotential of mercury and its documented release from dental amalgams, usageof mercury containing amalgam increases the health risk of the patients,the dentists and the dental personnel.
Autopsy studies from Sweden and Germany show a positive statisticalcorrelation between the number of occlusal surfaces of dental amalgam andmercury levels in the brain and kidney cortex. It would be wise to pointout that both elemental mercury and organic methyl mercury were found inbrain tissue upon autopsy.

Dr. David Eggleston of the University of California, found a Tlymphocytecount of 47% (ideal levels are between 79-80%) in patients with silver amalgamfillings. After removal of the amalgams the Tlymphocyte count rose to 73%.
Multiple Sclerosis patients have been found to have 8 times higherlevels of mercury in the cerebrospinal fluid compared to neurologicallyhealthy controls. Inorganic mercury is capable of producing symptoms whichare indistinguishable from those of multiple sclerosis.
It is the responsibility of every dentist and doctor to inform andeducate their patients to the effect that:

Mercury is contained in most dental filling material and all silveramalgam material.
Mercury in fillings can have toxic effects on some persons. Manifestationsof the disease of mercury poisoning only starts to become apparent threeto ten years after the insertion of the mercury.
There are alternative materials that could be used for dental fillingthat could have after effects on the individual.
The patient has the right to insist that an alternative materialbe used.
The freedom of individual choice in health care shall be inherentlyrespected and preserved as an individual right and responsibility of freemen everywhere.
One must remember that the diagnosis of mercury intoxication isextremely difficult to ascertain because of the insidious nature of theonset of symptoms and because of most physicians' unfamiliarity or misinformationconcerning proper testing techniques. Unfortunately, mercury is so toxicto the human organism, that there can be cell death or irreversible chemicaldamage long before clinical observable symptoms appear indicating thatsomething is wrong. Since organic mercury in some body tissues (e.g. brain)has a half life of over 25 years (i.e. it takes the body 25 years to getrid of 1/2 of a single dose of mercury under normal circumstances) it isonly a matter of time and degree of exposure until some form of symptomologyappears. With all this in mind we cannot fool with mercury toxicity ordelay the "safe" removal of silver amalgam fillings by the handsof a knowledgeable and responsible dentist.

Some reported symptoms of mercury poisoningfollow:

1.One study reports depression, fatigue, insomnia, tremor, and lossof appetite are the most common sympto

2. Another study reported Mercury has been linked to cerebellar syndrome,hypertension, and myocardial failure [ heart problems].

3. Perhaps the most obvious symptom of mercury toxicity in dentalamalgam cases is Lichen in areas of mouth in contact with fillings. Goesaway with mercury removal. How would you like Lichen in your mouth?

4. Another reports diarrhea, eczema, muscle pain, headache.

5. Perhaps the most disturbing for us with MS, is many studies reportCNS symptoms including memory loss, depression, psychosis, cognitive problems,motor coordination loss, etc. The motor loss lasts even ten years afterexposure [ thermometer factory workers].

6. Mercury was used in Britain until 1955 as a deworming agent anddental teething agent for children. Children born after 1955 there reportlittle Young's syndrome or pink disease, while it's frequent before then.

7. Mercury affects the immune system, including lowering IgG. Iteasily crosses the blood brain barrier[BBB].

8. Amalgam filling removal has been shown to help arthritis, exerciseinduced asthma and MS. [ I have both exercise induced asthma and exerciseinduced MS. They've both gotten better since I started using filtered water.Fluoride leaches Mercury from fillings.]

Witch Hazeled! All Natural Handmade Seawater Body Bar

2009-11-17T17:19:00.000-08:00

This month Sea9 is proud to introduce our newest addition, Witch Hazeled. What is which hazel exactly? It is a low lying shrub native to North America. Its name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word wych meaning pliable. The word described the flexibility of its branches. So flexible in fact, that Native Americans used its branches to make bows.

Witch hazel is widely known for its amazing anti-inflammatory properties. The active ingredients in witch hazel are tannins and volatile oils which contribute to its astringent quality. When applied to the skin, it reduces any irritation on the tissue surface through a type of numbing. Surface inflammation is reduced, and the astringent creates a partial barrier against infection.

Through this process, witch hazel has the ability to shrink pores, tighten & tone, fight acne, deep clean, reduce under eye bags and relieve the pain of varicose veins. Besides cosmetic uses, which hazel is ideal for naturally treating cuts, bruises, sun burns, insect bites, and muscle aches.
