Findings from a November 9, 2009, Environmental Health News report have revealed that many varieties of balsamic vinegar contain trace amounts of lead that are contributing to neurological and other damage in both children and adults. Ingestion of a single tablespoon of vinegar with the highest tested levels of lead was found to potentially raise a child’s blood lead level by 30% while two tablespoons a day would raise it by 55%.

Clinical practice guidelines are increasing in number. Unfortunately,
when scientific evidence is uncertain, limited, or evolving, as is often
the case, conflict often arises between guideline committees and
practicing physicians, who bear the direct responsibility for the care of
individual patients. The 2006 Infectious Diseases Society of America
guidelines for Lyme disease, which have limited scientific support,
could, if implemented, limit the clinical discretion of treating physicians
and the treatment options available to patients
Introduction
Clinical practice guidelines are now ubiquitous throughout the
United States. The National Guidelines Clearing House, under the
category “diseases,” currently lists 2,126 separate guidelines on its
web site. Clinical guidelines are intended to assist physicians in
patient care by clearly communicating the results of the guideline
committees’ evaluation of available therapeutic options. However,
the processes by which individual guidelines are constructed may be
less clear, leading to disagreements between the issuing committee
and the physicians who treat patients-physicians who may well be
as experienced and knowledgeable as the guideline committee. Continued

Linda’s comment: Several of us have been trying for years to get the Department of Health to classify Lyme disease as an STD. Doctors including Lyme Literate Medical Doctors=LLMD’s, are split. We now know that Lyme can be sexually transmitted. It makes sense to classify Lyme as STD. We need to do all we can to help stop the spread of Lyme and Company. I suggest when talking to your children about their sexual activities, to strongly warn them about the chance of getting sexually transmitted Lyme. Continued

A large new study confirms that people with severe mental disorders – such as schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders – are 25 percent to 40 percent more prone to die from heart disease than people without mental illness are.
Moreover, smoking and physical inactivity – behaviors that individuals potentially can change – significantly contribute to this increased risk of death, found researchers led by Amy Kilbourne, Ph.D. Continued

Linda’s comments: No only do we have to worry about eating wild meat containing Lyme disease, but now we have to be concerned about the “lead” exposure from eating this meat. There is also proof that deer from our high mountain ranges are getting lead exposure from the “coal” stacks in China.
Heavy metals is all around us and it is a must that we begin a journey in a lifelong daily detox program to reduce these heavy metals from our bodies. For those with chronic illness, like Lyme disease, it becomes deadly. If you have amalgams, it is important to have them safely removed by a dentist that knows how to remove them properly. Look for a Holistic dentists and if there are none in your community, then ask around for dentists that have experience in removing amalgams safely.
You can help protect yourself by finding a lifelong daily detox like the FIGHT program. I have been on this protocol for over a year and am very pleased. Feel free to ask questions about the products I have found that replenish my body to a healthy state. Don’t get caught up in a once a year cleanse. A lifelong cleanse is vital for good health.
