I feel great, my mind is clearer, I now have way more vital energy every day, my concentration has improved, my energy is balanced now and&amp;nbsp; I'm no longer depressed, and I'm even sleeping better.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Since January, I've let go of 15 pounds of toxic waste and fat! If you'd like more info about this cleansing program and how it can help you, send me an e-mail with "Wellness" in the subject line. Also, ask me about the wholesale price.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Janlynn&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target=_new rel=nofollow  href="mailto:jlpgibeau@yahoo.com"&gt;jlpgibeau@yahoo.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=119390" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Health Effects of Pesticide Mixtures: Unexpected Insights From the Salmon Brain</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/02/20/Health-Effects-of-Pesticide-Mixtures-Unexpected-Insights-From-the-Salmon-Brain.aspx#119386</link><pubDate>Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:19:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:119386</guid><dc:creator>qualitygeek</dc:creator><description>Duh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just this week on the news there was a report of some drug patch that was leaking.

I have watched a friend slowly but surely become dependant on prescription pills. Not an addict but as she has counteracted one illness with a drug - the side effects start and then has to have another type to cure that one and so on .&amp;nbsp;The new one causes more problems and its back to the chemist with another prescription. Her original problem was high blood pressure. No-one suggested exercise, salt reduction or any other "healthy " option. Just drugs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 2 tablets a couple of years ago she is now on 9. Nobody has discussed the overall effect of these drugs combined. The toxicity in her body must be huge. We know that simple foods like grapefruit can have an effect on homeopathic , herbal and prescription drugs. Yet I see very little research on combinations of Big Pharma drugs unless there is a few deaths.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=119381" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Health Effects of Pesticide Mixtures: Unexpected Insights From the Salmon Brain</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/02/20/Health-Effects-of-Pesticide-Mixtures-Unexpected-Insights-From-the-Salmon-Brain.aspx#119378</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2008 04:49:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:119378</guid><dc:creator>foxtroter_203</dc:creator><description>Article states:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One of the major scientific challenges of our generation is to develop new approaches to anticipate and head off any ill effects of interacting chemicals"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duh--How about the internal toxic poisoning of multiple interacting chemicals, that is having patients on 14 different prescription drugs!!&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=119378" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Health Effects of Pesticide Mixtures: Unexpected Insights From the Salmon Brain</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/02/20/Health-Effects-of-Pesticide-Mixtures-Unexpected-Insights-From-the-Salmon-Brain.aspx#119376</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2008 03:48:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:119376</guid><dc:creator>Russ Bianchi</dc:creator><description>Until there is a unified, empirically verified, and national 'organic' standard in the USA,&amp;nbsp;the is similar or close to&amp;nbsp;that of the UK Soils Association stnadrds and policed, instead of the current money/bribes for paper certification&amp;nbsp;rubber stamping, then consumerhealth will continued to be compromised, and economic rip-offs will continue,&amp;nbsp;among consumers seeking safer fruit, vegetables, seeds, flower, produce, meat, poultry, fish, nut crops, etc., and not truly getting them.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=119376" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Health Effects of Pesticide Mixtures: Unexpected Insights From the Salmon Brain</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/02/20/Health-Effects-of-Pesticide-Mixtures-Unexpected-Insights-From-the-Salmon-Brain.aspx#119375</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:21:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:119375</guid><dc:creator>mmc88121</dc:creator><description>Very tantalizing tidbit of information here,&amp;nbsp; It still pays to stay away from commercial produced food if at all possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=119375" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
