The Completely Natural and Safe "Antibiotic"

Handwashing, one of the oldest and most powerful antibacterial treatments, may be the key to preventing MRSA (staph infections).

Without proper handwashing, the spread of germs follows a chain reaction. First, the germs come in contact with your hands and infest underneath your fingernails. They then enter your body through your fingernails and get into the blood vessels that feed your remarkably sensitive fingertips.

From there, the germs are transferred to areas of your body, such as your eyes, nose and mouth. The last stop is the spreading to other people or surfaces such as doorknobs or computer keyboards. The end result: Hand-to-hand contact infectious diseases.

With this in mind always remember to AVOID using antibacterial soaps. These soaps are completely unnecessary and could easily do more harm than good. As a matter of fact, the antibacterial compounds found in most of these soaps are likely contributing to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Chlorine In Your Tap Water and In Your Diet Cola

Would you drink a cup of pesticides? What about a cup of chemical water? All your aquarium fish will die within a matter of minutes if you add tap water to your fish tank without also including a de-chlorinator to remove the chlorine. Doesn't that tell you something about the danger of drinking chlorine?

The manufacturers of sucralose say the chlorine in their sweetener will pass harmlessly out of your body too. What if it doesn't? How do you know your body won't digest it? Everyone reacts differently to individual chemicals.

Chlorine is a dangerous carcinogen, according to research on tap water. Chlorine in tap water results in cancer and many other diseases, according to researchers worldwide. So, if chlorine in tap water is a suspected carcinogen, is it safe to drink in diet colas?

You are what your food is

"You are what your food is" is an old saying. This is based on a teaching from our Shastras including yoga sutras of Patanjali, Bhagwad Gita and the Upanishads. To acquire health and happiness one needs to live a balanced life. This typically comes from Bhagwad Gita chapter 6 verse 17 where Lord Krishna says to Arjuna: "Yukaharaviharasya yuktachestasya karmasu. Yuktasvapnavabodhasya yoga bhavati duhkhaha." (For the one whose diet and movements are balanced, who does his actions in a proper manner, whose hour of sleeping and walking up is regular, that path of meditation is the destroyer of pain or unhappiness.) The message is relevant even today, validated by modern scientific research and analysis of data.
