First global look finds most rivers awash with antibiotics

Each year, humans produce, prescribe, and ingest more antibiotics than they did the year before. Those drugs have done wonders for public health, saving millions from infections that might otherwise have killed them.

But the drugs’ influence persists in the environment long after they’ve done their duty in human bodies. They leach into the outside world, where their presence can spur the development of “antibiotic resistant” strains of bacteria. In a new study that surveyed 72 rivers around the world, researchers found antibiotics in the waters of nearly two-thirds of all the sites they sampled, from the Thames to the Mekong to the Tigris.

That’s a big deal, says Alistair Boxoll, the study’s co-lead scientist and an environmental chemist at the University of York, in the U.K. “These are biologically active molecules, and we as a society are excreting tons of them into the environment,” he says.

That leads to the potential for huge effects on the ecology of the rivers—as well as on human health.

Resistance is growing
Antibiotics prevent harmful infections, saving millions of lives each year. But the populations of the bacteria they fight against can evolve in response, morphing and changing in ways that let them evade death by the drugs designed to kill them. That means an infection by one of these “resistant” bacteria strains is harder, and sometimes impossible, to treat. The U.K. Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, says the problem is getting worse each year, and poses a “catastrophic threat” to doctors’ ability to treat basic infections in the future.

A 2016 report found that each year around 700,000 people worldwide die of infections that are resistant to the antibiotics we have today. Scientists, medical experts, and public health officials worry that number could skyrocket as resistance to commonly used medicines increases. In 2014, a U.K.-commissioned study warned that by 2050, antimicrobial-resistant infections could be the leading cause of death worldwide.

Families seek answers for US rise in childhood cancers

This article quite correctly talks about environmental toxins but ignores the elephant in the room – vaccines.

Before you vaccinate, check out the doctors (all murdered) who diiscovered that vaccines contain the element nagalase which prevents the body from utilising vitamin D, a known powerful cancer preventer.

From http://the-parallel-universe.com/vitamin-d-factor/

“That the element (nagalase) which is put into vaccines impairs, or nullifies the function of GcMAF and Vitamin D in our body, means one thing – Vaccines do more to destroy immune function than support it.”

If you are still drinking fluoridated water, please read this.

“Fluoridated Water Is Public Murder On A Grand Scale” – Dr. Dean Burk

Judge Anthony Farris presided over the trial in the case of Safe Water Foundation v. City of Houston, District Court of Texas, 151st Judicial District, No. 80-52271. On May 24, 1982, Judge Farris entered his findings of fact on the record of the case. His main findings were as follows:

“That the artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, such as is contemplated by [Houston] City Ordinance No. 80-2530, may cause or may contribute to the cause of cancer, genetic damage, intolerant reactions, and chronic toxicity, including dental mottling, in man; that the said artificial fluoridation may aggravate malnutrition and existing illnesses in man; and that the value of said artificial fluoridation is in doubt as to the reduction of tooth decay in man.”

Contrary to what has been said by promoters of artificial fluoridation of public water supplies, these findings of fact were specifically sustained and upheld as having been established at trial by a preponderance of the evidence, as appears in Safe Water Foundation v. Houston, 661 S.W. 2d 189 (Tex. App. 1983).

Hydrogen Water

Hydrogen Water

If you have been on my mailing list for anylength of time you will know I use and sell a water filter that removes the nasties, ionaizes, alkalises the water and adds hydrogen. Today I received this in an email. If you want to take your water quality up a notch, come back to me!

Here’s a weird one for you.

When my good friend and fellow filmmaker, Trevor King, was filming interviews last year for his docu-series, Live Longer, Feel Better!, an unusual pattern started to emerge. He began to notice something unexpected was mentioned in dozens of interviews.

Many of the world-famous doctors and experts he was interviewing would talk about the benefits of drinking a certain kind of water, freshly infused with a common element.

Then he started to see these machines in their homes too…

People like Ty Bollinger from The Truth About Cancer, Robert Scott Bell, Dr. Joe Mercola, Dr. Daryl Giofre, Dr. V from Breast Cancer Conqueror, Dr. Tony Jiminez. It was a common thread that tied them all together. Almost like a secret society — they knew something the rest of us didn’t. 🙂

That weird something? Hydrogen.

They all talked about the amazing benefits of using it regularly.

And all they had to do was drink the water from this “fountain of health” as one of them called it. Trevor himself tasted the water in Ty Bollinger’s home near Nashville, and said it tasted incredible. Like water SHOULD taste, if you know what I mean. I actually tasted the water in Ty Bollinger’s home also, and I had the same eye-opening experience that Trevor had.

Here’s some things you may not know about Hydrogen and Hydrogen water:

The Molecular Hydrogen machine has been classed as a medical device in  Japan for many years, where it’s known as “Shin'nooru solution”

“The most exciting and profoundly effective anti-oxidant available today” – Dr Joseph Mercola

Hydrogen Water has restored the natural growth of brain cells in certain studies (think dementia)

Drinking hydrogen water has been shown to decrease cholesterol and improve glucose tolerance in a human study (think diabetes)
In one study, 20 patients with early rheumatoid arthritis drank half a litre (17 ounces)  per day of hydrogen water for 4 weeks. By the end of the study, all patients were in remission.

I could go on and on. There are currently almost 1,000 studies showing that hydrogen water helps relieve symptoms for over 150 diseases.

As you know, my own docu-series have focused on the critical importance of doing a detox — removing the chemicals and heavy metal toxins that have accumulated in your body over many years. Well, having the right water is totally crucial in that process. Totally pure, well-filtered water is a key building block to health — and adding Hydrogen “supercharges” that water into something on a different level.

I’m joining Trevor next Wednesday, July 31st at 6pm EST for a Hydrogen Water class to explain the benefits of this amazing water, and I’d love for you to join us. As well as myself, Trevor has invited the inventor of this amazing machine, and he has gone out and interviewed a few experts to find out what makes this so special.

These classes are always a lot of fun — some people attend them more than once — and you will have an opportunity to ask your own questions in the Q&A if you can join us live.

Registering and joining us is — of course — 100% free.

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Jonathan Otto

PS. We’ve also arranged a special “Health Secret” group buy with Paul (the inventor) to make some of the machines available on the night at a very special price if you want to experience the exciting health benefits for yourself!

10 Keto Diet Tips

10 Keto Diet Tips

A ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, moderate protein and high fat based nutrition plan. A ketogenic diet trains the individual’s metabolism to run off of fatty acids or ketone bodies. This is called fat adapted, when the body has adapted to run off of fatty acids/ketones at rest.

This nutrition plan has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. This leads to reduced risk of chronic disease as well as improved muscle development and fat metabolism.

I personally recommend a cyclic ketogenic diet for most of my clients where you go low-carb for 3 days and then have a slightly higher carbohydrate day, followed by 3 lower carb days. This cycles the body in and out of a state of ketosis and is beneficial for hormone balance while keeping inflammatory levels very low.

The biggest challenge with this nutrition plan is to get into and maintain the state of fat adaption. Here are several advanced ketogenic diet tips to get into and maintain ketosis.
