 I opted out of any Christmas preparations or events this year (save for Christmas dinner) and it felt great!

Just my guy and I on the Las Vegas strip with countless other tourists in Vegas for Christmas.

Naturally, everything, everywhere was closed and quiet on Christmas day, except for the Vegas strip.  It was bumper to bumper.  Long lines to enter parking garages, no available reservations in  restaurants.  It was PACKED.

We dined at Jardin in the Wynn.  It was nice.  Enough vegan and vegetarian options.

The waiter laid the alcohol menu in front of us, and I informed him that we don’t drink.  Then a bread basket was placed on our table and I let him know that we didn’t need the bread.

I ordered bottled water and poured a glass of it.  I then put our forks and spoons inside the glass of water and whisked them around before drying with an organic tissue from my purse.

I’ve gotten used to drinking water straight from the bottle.  Not the most lady like way to drink but consider my motive.  You see, I just learned another horrific fact about the perils of dining in restaurants.

Residue from rinse agents is left behind on dishes after they’re cleaned in professional grade dishwashers, which all restaurants use.

“This damages the natural protective layer in the gut and can contribute to the onset of chronic diseases, as demonstrated by researchers working with organoids at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research.

One ingredient in particular found in commercial rinse agents has a toxic effect on the gastrointestinal tract.”  The alcohol ethoxylates present in the rinse aid were identified as the culprit component causing the epithelial inflammation and barrier damage.  “Epithelial” means relating to or denoting the thin tissue forming the outer layer of a body’s surface and lining the alimentary canal and other hollow structures.”  Sounds pretty scary to ME.

I don’t even understand how this is legal, but it’s occurring in every restaurant in this country.  Some people may think me fanatical.  I call it, trying to keep myself safe in a war zone.

PFAS, sometimes called “forever chemicals”, are a group of thousands of chemicals that are used for their non-stick and water-resistant properties. They are used in everyday items like non-stick frying pans, waterproof mascaras, stain-resistant clothing and the packaging for takeaway food items. PFAS can take thousands of years to break down in landfills, and pose harms to human health. Reducing PFAS exposure is challenging but possible.

“PFAS have been used in manufacturing and added to consumer products for decades. They are used across dozens of industries and in a huge range of consumer products because they are so effective at making items resistant to water, stains and grease. Your non-stick frying pan, for example, probably uses PFAS to make the “non-stick” coating.

PFAS can be found in non-stick cookware, fire retardants, stain and water repellents, some furniture, waterproof clothes, children’s textiles, pizza boxes and takeout containers, food packaging, carpets and textiles, rubbers and plastics, electronics and even dental floss.
PFAS are everywhere. While there is concern about these chemicals, the biggest risk and strongest predictor of having high levels of PFAS in your body appears to be living in proximity to contaminated water.

Regular exposure to the galaxy of chemicals we encounter in our daily lives potentially poses health hazards, but about 90,000 human-made chemicals now exist, and we simply don’t know how daily exposure to them affects our health.

A shorthand for the properties of some PFAS is PBT: persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. Some chemicals classed as PFAS have been linked to health problems including high cholesterol, fertility issues, immune system disorders, kidney disease, birth defects, some cancers and a range of other serious health problems.”

* Biological dentistry takes a holistic approach, considering overall health and using advanced technologies like 3D computer beam computer tomography (CBCT) scans to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatments for dental issues

* Mercury fillings pose significant health risks. Proper removal by a biological dentist is crucial to prevent complications like kidney function compromise and hormonal imbalances

* Modern biological dentistry uses lasers instead of drills, reducing pain and the need for anesthesia. Ceramic fillings are preferred over composite resins due to their longevity and safety

* Dental cavitations, areas of chronic infection often caused by improper tooth removal or root canals, are identified using CBCT scans and thermography, allowing for targeted treatment”

(Tom: I have read elsewhere that the problem is currently so pervasive that nowadays the average person eats each year enough plastic to make a credit card.

Was talking to a lass trying to get pregnant and she told me she felt she needed a detox, went into Mr Vitamins and the girl there told her most likely not, you need to qualify to do a detox.

In my humble opinion, with all I have read, the only qualification question required is, “Do you have a body?”)
