Dr. Mark Hyman breaks down the truth about salt intake
Katie Couric: Let’s start with the basics. We all know what salt is — but can you break it down for us further? What are the different types of salt?
Dr. Mark Hyman: When we think of salt, we are most commonly thinking about the salt we use on our food, which is primarily comprised of sodium chloride (NaCl). In reality, there are many types of salts. Today, we’re just going to talk about the salt we eat.
Salt is an extremely important part of history. It’s prominent in the Bible. It’s the root of the word “salary” and the origin of the saying that something is “not worth its weight in salt.” Once, it was a rare, highly prized substance. Today it’s everywhere, and it comes in different forms. My personal favorite is Himalayan pink salt. Aside from differences in taste and texture, table salt is typically heavily processed — which eliminates naturally occurring beneficial minerals. Sea salt has been shown to contain higher amounts of trace minerals than refined table salt, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
You might have also noticed that most table salt is iodized. This was a result of the iodine-poor diets that were causing goiters in the 1920s. But if you’re eating a diet that consists of real, whole foods, you don’t need iodized salt and you can get your iodine from foods like fish and seaweed. Also, most iodized salt contains additives and hidden sugars. Yuck! My advice when it comes to salt is stick to sea salt and avoid refined salt.
What effect does salt have on our bodies?
Salt, like fat, is quite complicated. It’s not like sugar. Sugar is sugar is sugar — and with a few exceptions, all sugars have the same effects on our bodies. But when it comes to salt, the type of salt we eat matters, and salt has different effects depending on the person.
Salt, or sodium, as we all know, has been linked to hypertension, the precursor of death due to heart disease and stroke, but only in a subset of people who are genetically salt-sensitive. Sodium is important for overall health, but our sodium levels needs to be in proportion to our levels of other important minerals — mainly potassium. When the ratio of sodium to potassium in our bodies is high (more sodium than potassium), high blood pressure follows. So, we need optimal amounts of both to stay healthy. The best source of potassium is whole, unprocessed, plant-based foods like cooked spinach, broccoli, squash, avocados, papayas, and bananas.
If you’re diagnosed with high blood pressure and hypertension, you’ll be instructed to eliminate sodium from your diet as much as possible. But this isn’t always great advice. In fact, patients with heart failure who ate a salt-restricted diet were 85 percent more likely to die or be hospitalized than patients who didn’t limit their salt intake. There are some people with high blood pressure who are salt-sensitive. But even then, the research doesn’t show much benefit to restricting salt.
Instead of focusing completely on salt reduction to reduce blood pressure and risk of strokes and heart attacks, I recommend addressing sugar and processed food intake first. We also need to look at overall inflammation, which is the root of most chronic diseases including heart disease. Eating a diet high in processed junk foods, eating out every single day, and over consuming refined sugars can contribute to inflammation. Just reducing salt is not the solution. We have to look at the whole picture. In fact, salt is needed to hydrate your cells and is an important part of staying properly hydrated — which is why I often use electrolytes added to my water.
It’s so common to add salt to dishes — both at home or when eating out. So… for someone who doesn’t have any immediate health issues to consider, how much salt is too much salt to add?
It’s not the salt that we add to foods at home that’s the problem; it’s the salt that food corporations add to their processed foods to make it edible. We should all avoid refined table salt and processed foods with high amounts of sodium. When you’re cooking at home with a little bit of sea salt, this shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’re dealing with high blood pressure or have a higher risk of heart attack or stroke, focus on reducing systemic inflammation. This is not just a salt issue. This means reducing and removing refined sugars and processed carbohydrates and eating a diet that is plant rich with some healthy fats and proteins.
Putting my patients on a low starch and sugar diet with good fats often significantly reduces their blood pressure. Try to cook at home as much as possible with a little bit of sea salt. Work with a practitioner to keep track of your markers to see how dietary changes are impacting your health.
Is there something else we could add for flavor instead of salt?
I love using spices, herbs and seasonings when I cook. Learn to use these ingredients and you can upgrade your meals! Some, like turmeric and ginger, are anti-inflammatory. Others, like oregano, are antibacterial and antifungal. And many are loaded with phytonutrients, which help our bodies naturally detoxify from everyday toxins.
I recommend keeping a range of pantry ingredients, including seasonings and spices, on hand: turmeric, cayenne pepper, thyme, rosemary, chili powder, cumin, sage, oregano, onion powder, cinnamon, coriander, cilantro, paprika, and parsley. Because you only use a little of these, they tend to last a long time, so you get a lot of value from them. Buy organic when you can and read all of the labels to ensure the products don’t contain hidden sugar, gluten or other problematic additives.
If you use all these amazing, potent spices and herbs you really won’t need to add much salt to make your meals taste great. Eating food that is good for you is not about feeling deprived. If you choose the right foods and the right recipes, you can reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle without feeling deprived.
As an expert, what is your personal approach to salt?
I prefer Himalayan pink salt, as well as kosher and sea salt in moderation. We can safely add these to our food, as long as our diet is also rich in potassium. Also, if you add salt to your dishes after you’ve finished cooking them, flavor-wise you’ll get more bang for your buck.
Now, none of this means you can eat as much salty food as you want. You absolutely can be harmed by too much sodium. Although we have an unfairly negative view of salt as bad, emerging science has dis-proven the “salt is bad for you” mantra. The highly refined salt that food manufacturers add to processed and packaged foods is killing us. Again, it is not the salt you add to your food, but the salt added by food corporations.
I try to stay away from processed table salt and processed foods with bad fats, excess salt, and sugar. I cook at home as much as possible or choose restaurants that use sea salt and fresh ingredients. Again, we can’t just focus on one ingredient, we have to look our overall dietary habits. When we choose fresh, whole, real food, we are making the best choice for our health.

Creating Your Legacy: Building and Managing Towns on Minecraft LBSG Servers
19 December 2021
Minecraft is a game that encourages creativity, collaboration, and exploration. One popular way to engage with the Minecraft community is through LBSG (Lifeboat Survival Games) servers, which offer a unique multiplayer experience. These servers allow players to build and manage their own towns, creating a lasting legacy within the Minecraft universe. In this article, we'll explore the process of building and managing towns on Minecraft LBSG servers, and how you can leave your mark on these virtual landscapes.
Choose the Right LBSG Server:
Start by finding the LBSG server that suits your preferences. There are various LBSG servers available, each offering a slightly different experience. Consider factors such as server population, community culture, available plugins or features, and server rules. Look for a server that aligns with your playstyle and offers the resources and support needed to build and manage your town effectively.
To build a thriving town, you'll need resources. Explore the server's world to gather essential materials like wood, stone, and ores. Utilize tools such as axes, shovels, and pickaxes to expedite the resource gathering process. Some LBSG servers may have resource-rich areas or special features to facilitate resource collection. Establish resource gathering strategies, trade with other players, or set up automated resource farms to ensure a steady supply.
Choose a Location:
Once you have resources, scout for the ideal location to build your town. Look for an area with suitable terrain, access to resources, and potential for expansion. Consider factors like proximity to other players, landscape features, and available space. Finding the right location is crucial as it forms the foundation of your town and sets the stage for future development.
Plan and Design:
Before you start building, it's essential to have a clear vision for your town. Decide on the layout, architectural style, and overall theme you want to achieve. Sketch out a plan or use digital tools to visualize the design. Consider zoning different areas for residential, commercial, and recreational purposes. Create roads, parks, and landmarks to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your town.
Construct and Decorate:
With your plan in place, begin constructing your town. Start with essential structures like housing, a town center, and basic infrastructure. As your town grows, add additional buildings, amenities, and decorative elements. Encourage other players to contribute to the town's development by providing building guidelines or organizing collaborative building projects. Regularly maintain and improve existing structures to ensure the town remains visually appealing and functional.
Establish Governance and Rules:
As your town grows, it's important to establish governance and rules to maintain order and harmony within the community. Designate roles such as mayor, council members, or administrators to oversee town affairs. Establish rules for building, resource usage, and conduct within the town. Encourage cooperation, respect, and collaboration among town residents to create a positive and inclusive environment.
Foster a Community:
A successful town thrives on an active and engaged community. Encourage residents to participate in town activities, organize events, and contribute to the town's development. Foster a sense of community by promoting communication, hosting gatherings, and providing platforms for players to interact. Engage with residents, address their concerns, and ensure that everyone feels heard and valued.
Continual Development and Expansion:
Building a town is an ongoing process. Continually seek ways to improve and expand your town. Encourage innovation, introduce new features, and adapt to the evolving needs of the community. Consider implementing plugins or features that enhance the town experience, such as economy systems, minigames, or custom quests. Regularly update and maintain your town to keep it vibrant and appealing to both current and new residents.
Creating and managing a town on Minecraft LBSG servers allows you to leave a lasting legacy within the Minecraft community. Through careful planning, collaboration, and dedication, you can build a thriving town that becomes a hub of activity and a testament to your creativity. Engage with the server's community, foster a sense of camaraderie, and enjoy the satisfaction of watching your town grow and flourish within the virtual Minecraft world.

One thing Rick Santorum’s tax returns, released late on Wednesday, made clear: None of the leading presidential candidates fits into the 99 percent of the populist Occupy Wall Street movement.
Santorum told Politico he isn’t rich. “I don’t have wealth,” he said.
Well, perhaps compared to frontrunner Mitt Romney’s estimated $22 million income in 2010. Still, with an income of nearly $1 million in 2010, Santorum is comfortably in the top 1 percent of Americans.
Santorum’s adjusted gross income of about $924,000 in 2010 was the lowest of the major Republicans vying to take on President Barack Obama so far, and significantly less than Obama himself, who pulled in a cool $1.7 million – most of which came from his bestselling books.

"A CBD company may create a CBD oil, test it, and use the test results to create their label," Bonn-Miller says. "The problem is if they never test their product again, or they test it once a year, you have no idea whether each batch is the same as the first one that they used to create the label. The vast majority of companies are not using manufacturing standards that assure product consistency over time. Companies should be testing every batch they make and tossing batches that don't fall within the specs of their label."
Medicinal cannabis, on the other hand, raises slightly different legal issues. While medicinal cannabis does contain the compound CBD, it also contains THC, the psychoactive substance that poses the legal problem. A recent change in the law means medicinal cannabis will soon be legally available in the UK, but only via prescription from a doctor. It has been found to be beneficial to patients living with MS, cancer, epilepsy and other serious illnesses. This recent development in the law edges the UK's policy ever closer to the likes of Canada, Portugal, Holland, and many US states.
CBDPure oils are made from domestic Colorado-grown organic hemp. Unlike most other CBD oil brands that we put to the test, CBDPure’s oil contains full spectrum cannabinoids and terpenes, enhancing the oil’s therapeutic effect. Their hemp oil is 100% free of synthetic and artificial ingredients, and every batch is tested for potency and quality by third-party labs.
No, hemp oil is not the same as cannabis oil. All-natural hemp oil is obtained by cold pressing of hemp seeds whereas cannabis oil is obtained by separating the resins from cannabis flowers. Their uses and chemical composition are quite different. Cannabis oil is much higher in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content, which has certain effects, whereas hemp oil tends to be higher in CBD (cannabidiol) levels.

I woke up seriously looking forward to my morning CBD oil fix … I mean, tonic. Truth be told, I’m an anxious person. Although I do a lot to try and calm my nerves, sometimes anxiety gets the best of me. But regardless of emotional or physical stress (I’m training for a marathon and running quite a bit!) I experienced this week, I felt a lot more in control after drinking my CBD oil tonics. After work, I met up with a friend and felt like I could fully focus on our conversation without distractions. Could it be the CBD?
At this moment we all know one thing. Anxiety and depression are the most common mental issues the humanity has encountered ever. They affect millions of people from all over the planet, all ages, and both genders. Yes, there are a lot of treatments for these issues but not all of them are great. Here is the accent on one, relatively new treatment which may be the best one. The best hemp CBD oil for anxiety and depression is a reality nowadays.
Hi Colleen, it's almost a year later and I'm wondering how you're doing. I'm experiencing a recurrence of Stage 3 ovarian, originally diagnosed in 2011. I've decided to get some chemo, not sold on another 6 cycles though. As a new MMJ patient, I'm still going to go through with Rick Simpson Oil (THC+CBD,) and I just joined a program with my local dispensary to get CBD capsules for $2 each when I order them at least 30 at a time. I hope you're doing well!! I'm off to do more research on dosing. **NOTE: If you have ANY experience with CBD treatment of ovarian cancer, PLEASE respond. Thank you!!
I’ve been on anti-depressants for 11 years since having a stroke and having to stop taking estrogen. I started on Zoloft, then celexa, then Effexor. I’ve been having bad blurry vision for a few years that has my eye dr stumped. Finally my primary doctor thought it could be the Effexor since that is one of the side effects. So we decided that I would wean off the Effexor and try Wellbutrin instead. I lowered the amount of Effexor over 3 weeks till I wasn’t taking it any longer but started the Wellbutrin the last week of taking Effexor. After 3 days of no Effexor the withdrawals seemed to hit me. Headaches, nausea, extremely emotional, and bad dizziness. I had an important event to go to on day 3 of no Effexor so I took a low dose (37.5 mg) hoping to get me through the night. I felt decent for a couple days then boom, the withdrawal symptoms came on fully again. So I decided I would just try to go off both the Effexor and Wellbutrin because I didn’t want to go through this again and really wanted to see if I could handle life without them. Well it’s been a week without any Effexor but the dizziness and emotional outrages are still going on. I’ve been using Bonine (motion sickness) which does seem to help a little. My daughter mentioned the CBD oil which I was totally against at first but after doing a lot of research I am now quite interested in it.
Please note, I am not an addict and have a several genotypes with specific alleles that prevent the the high but get all the benefits from pain relief. Cool for me, but the “Dr.s” want to keep sticking me will steriods. My autoimmune system is now completely compromised from all the steroids. My other pain I can deal with (just barely now) but the RLS/RAS is literally driving me insane.
Always start with the micro dose to test sensitivity and go up as needed within the dosing range, before going to the next, until symptoms subside. The micro to standard dose is usually recommended to treat stress and anxiety with CBD. For relief of immediate symptoms, as in a panic or anxiety attack, vaporizing or smoking work well. The medication lasts one to three hours, whereas most ingested products, including CBD oil, take thirty to sixty minutes before taking effect and last six to eight hours. Vaporizers that use a cartridge filled with the CO2 concentrate are highly effective, and these are available in various ratios of CBD to THC. Herbal vaporizers that use the whole plant are also an effective delivery method. Sublingual sprays or tinctures taken as liquid drops take effect quickly and last longer than inhaled products.
James Joliat, a 35-year-old video producer in Denver, has long experienced muscle and joint pain—mostly related to sports injuries. He says he started looking at natural remedies as an alternative to the prescription patches and pills his doctor recommended. After experimenting with homemade rubs infused with plant compounds—stuff like arnica and turmeric—he eventually stumbled onto topical cannabidiol (CBD) rubs.
In August, eight months after beginning the cannabis treatment, my MRI was reviewed by a leading Radiologist, my Neuro Oncologist, and my world renowned Brain Surgeon, and it was concluded that all that was remaining of the tumor regrowth was scar tissue. I will have another MRI in December. Because these tumors are chronic and tend to growback, I will always be living MRI to MRI, but the key word here is that I am living …and in great health with a great immune system.
The nervous system’s endocannabinoid system is not well understood. But it’s thought to play a role in regulating pain, sleep, mood, memory, appetite, and other cognitive and physical processes. Because CBD is able to mimic the actions of some natural brain chemicals, its potential therapeutic benefits are wide-ranging but—at this point—nebulous. “We know that cannabidiol modulates the endocannabinoid system, but we don’t know how it works,” Szaflarski says. That said, there are theories.
Several studies have found that the use of CBD oil is helpful in reducing anxiety, meaning it could be a beneficial natural remedy for sufferers. Back in 2011, a study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology found that when people with generalised social anxiety disorder (SAD) were given 600mg of CBD oil prior to a public speaking test, as opposed to a placebo, they experienced significantly less anxiety, difficulty and discomfort during their speech.
Interestingly, the connection between CBD and inflammation can be highlighted using professional sports as an example. From MMA fighters to NBA basketball players, cannabis use is widespread among hard charging professional and a growing number of recreational athletes, specifically for shutting down the extreme amounts of joint inflammation and pain from constantly pounding the mat or the court and for helping the body relax and sleep at night after a day of stress combined with hard and heavy training. Many NFL athletes are now experimenting with cannabis extracts to manage post-head injury symptoms and to reduce the chronic mid and post-career aches and pains.
Over the years, cannabis oil has been used as an effective treatment for anxiety and depression. Furthermore, it is constantly being researched by scientists. In fact, CBD effects on anxiety is currently considered to be one of the most intriguing and well-funded areas of modern cannabis research; if progress continues in the way that it has over the last several years, then it is very possible that we will develop highly effective ways in which oils for anxiety (and depression) can be used as an effective therapy.
Here is a statement from one of the studies concerning CBD and glaucoma and was presented as an opening statement in the Future Direction section of the study. It states, “Cannabinoids have the potential of becoming a useful potentially relievement for glaucoma, as they seem to have neuroprotective properties and effectively reduce intraocular pressure.”
And without high-quality trials, experts don’t know how much is best for a given purpose. The staff at Roth’s dispensary told her, “Try some once or twice a day and see what happens.” (Half a dropper’s worth was a good amount for her.) One thing scientists feel confident about is that CBD is not dangerous. It won’t damage vital organs even at doses as high as 5,000 mg a day, Marcu says, and nobody has died from simply overdosing on a cannabis product.
I am glad that you explained how CBD oil can reel in the sympathetic branch of the nervous systeml[ reducing your anxiety and hysteria. My son works as a freelance photographer. After a decade in the field, you would think he will now have control over his nerves. But he tells me that his anxiety and overthinking still hits him hard from time to time during small or bigger gigs alike. I will be sure to advise him to try out CBD oil to help him cope better with his anxiety.
Everything you need to know about marijuana (cannabis) Marijuana, or cannabis, is the most commonly used illicit drug in the world. It alters the mood and affects nearly every organ in the body. With at least 120 active compounds, marijuana may have health benefits as well as risks. We describe these, addiction, and withdrawal. Learn more about cannabis here. Read now
Naturally, scientists wanted to see if CBD had any anticancer properties. As a result, they performed several animal studies using it. However, it should be noted that the findings don’t fully apply to humans. In fact, they merely suggest what possible effects CBD might have when it comes to dealing with cancer. With that in mind, additional human studies would help conclude if CBD has an effect on cancer cells in humans.
You get the idea, and now you probably also have a pretty good idea of why pharmaceutical companies would want to patent some chemical-ized version of this. So, I’d suspect that we’re not too far away from an enormously overpriced cannabis-like chemical produced in a pharmaceutical factory. But in the meantime, you can get the identical effects from entirely natural sources of CBD. Let’s take a look at what some of those most relevant effects would be.
In fact, numerous studies have looked at the relationship between CBD and pain, and the results are promising. Researchers have looked at various kinds of pain – from joint pain to cancer pain. One finding is that CBD increases levels of glutamate and serotonin – both neurotransmitters that play a role in pain regulation. And CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties help by tackling the root cause of much chronic pain.
“Pre-clinical evidence largely shows that CBD can produce beneficial effects in AD, PD and MS patients, but its employment for these disorders needs further confirmation from well-designed clinical studies. CBD pre-clinical demonstration of antiepileptic activity is supported by recent clinical studies in human epileptic subjects resistant to standard antiepileptic drugs showing its potential use in children and young adults affected by refractory epilepsy.” View Source

Hello Roy,We will attempt to help you as much as possible.As you know CBD is a new treatment option so there are almost no scientific studies and very few case studies available. However as a general rule the best thing to do is just to start.We say this because everyones body metabolizes CBD at different rates. So the best way to find the proper dosage for you is just to start. The good news is that feeling sleepy is about the only side effect of overdosing CBD, so experimentation is pretty safe.What we recommend on our site is to start with 25mg of CBD taken as often as you need it throughout the day. If you find this works stick with it. If you find you need more, or are having to take it too many times during the day, then take more such as 50mg with each serving.Which oil should you use that will ship to the UK? We have reviewed all the top CBD oil products and have found Endoca to be the best and most powerful oil on the market. If you are going to use CBD hemp oil we recommend using raw CBD oil. This is the most natural and has the highest amount of plant constituents present which increases effectiveness.The best oil to start with is Endoca Raw Hemp Oil 2000mg. If taking 50mg a day this tube will last you 40 days. If you are taking 200mg a day you will need to purchase 3 tubes per month.Read the full review here: https://cbdoilreview.org/endoca-raw-hemp-oil-2000mg/Buy the product here: https://cbdoilreview.org/product/endoca-raw-hemp-oil-2000mg/Endoca ships to the UK from their European headquarters so you are good to go there.

Anything that can be made of plastic can also be made from hemp, which can reduce exposure to phytoestrogens and other chemicals in plastic and other synthetic compounds. Hemp plant fibers are long and tough, and can be woven into a soft cloth that wears well and has fewer of the herbicides and pesticides associated with other modern cloths like cotton. Even copies of the Declaration of Independence used to be written on hemp paper, since it doesn’t yellow with age like other papers do.
The oral use of cannabis and CBD for anxiety appears in a Vedic text dated around 2000 BCE, and it is one of the most common uses of the plant across various cultures. While THC can increase anxiety in some patients, it lowers it in others. However, CBD effects have been shown to consistently reduce anxiety when present in higher concentrations in the cannabis plant. On its own, CBD has been shown in a number of animal and human studies to lessen anxiety. The stress-reducing effect appears to be related to activity in both the limbic and paralimbic brain areas.
Cannabinoid therapy is connected to the part of the biological matrix where body and brain meet. Since CBD (cannabidiol) and other compounds in cannabis are so similar to the chemicals created by our own bodies, they are integrated better than many synthetic drugs. According to Bradley E. Alger, a leading scientist in the study of endocannabinoids with a PhD from Harvard in experimental psychology, “With complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs, the endocannabinoids are literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that could connect brain activity and states of physical health and disease.”
I put two drops in my coffee (yes, I realize mixing hemp oil with caffeine is a bananas thing to do, but I need coffee and it is recommended on the website). The oil is much less unpleasant to take this way, although it does hugely change the taste of your coffee, so perhaps save it for your instant coffee, rather than your $5 slow-roasted French drip latte.
Even though most manufacturers claim that CBD does not have any side effects, research says otherwise. Sure, most people can tolerate the impact of CBD just fine, but a small portion of the population have been noted to experience not-so-adverse side effects. According to Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, the most common results are tiredness, change in weight, diarrhea, fatigue.
It’s easy to love Bluebird Botanicals as a company. They support organic, sustainable and fair farming practices. They use Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) and give generous employee benefits. They donate to charities, from autism research to homeless outreach. They offer deep discounts to disabled, veteran and low-income customers. It’s also easy to love their high-quality and reasonably-priced products. Bluebird Botanicals starts with high-terpene, organic hemp grown in Colorado, then uses environmentally-friendly friendly CO2 or alcohol extraction processes friendly CO2 or alcohol extraction processes. The company third-party lab tests its products, and makes the results of each batch’s labs public. With such pure products and conscientious practices, it’s no wonder the company was named “#1 Hemp CBD Company” at the 2016 Cannabist Awards. Bluebird’s oral CBD extracts are a good long-lasting CBD for anxiety, with three formulations offered in strengths of 250 or 1,000 mg. The “Classic” and “Complete” blends are both good, but the “Signature” blend boasts the most therapeutic ingredients. This CBD concentrate features hemp extract in hemp oil (containing raw and heated cannabinoids plus steam-distilled hemp terpenes) combined with and cold- pressed black seed oil, and wildcrafted frankincense extract, a known calming botanical. Bluebird’s CBD oil extract capsules, another good option for anxiety, have 15 mg of broad-spectrum, cannabinoid-rich, hemp blended with hempseed oil. For the fastest anxiety relief, Bluebird’s CBD 333 mg vape liquid is the preferred choice. While some companies flavor theirs with intense candy flavors, Bluebird’s grown-up therapeutic vape liquid is mildly fruity.
I work well under pressure, but being extremely busy at work has almost made me less productive—I'm constantly distracted by email, Slack, and the people around me, to the point where getting my work done becomes difficult. This week, however, I've found it easier to put my blinders on, block out all distractions (especially social distractions) and focus on one task at a time. I think this is partly related to the lessened anxiety—I feel more frazzled and off task when my anxiety is running high. It almost feels like a newfound sense of clarity and calm that enables me to focus.
After months of visiting doctors and sitting through tests like a human lab rat, it was determined that there was a slight anomaly in the anatomy of my temporal lobe—the part of the brain that controls hearing, speech, and auditory comprehension—which explains why every time I have a seizure, I suddenly don’t understand the English language. Epilepsy can’t be cured, so the only course of action available for me was to take a medication every day for the rest of my life. My neurologist prescribed a few different anti-convulsant medications, but they all made me feel tired, depressed, slow, and unlike myself—until finally, I found one that was slightly better than the rest.
CBD oil alleviates physical pain and anxiety – both of which can have a negative impact on sleep. Additionally, CBD oil can actually prolong sleep for some, leading to more rest from night to night. Most medical experts agree that marijuana is not particularly beneficial for individuals with medical conditions and/or mental health disorders, as the THC can increase their symptoms; this makes CBD oil a good alternative option for people with the following sleep disorders and medical conditions.
The endocannabinoid system is a newly discovered and complex biological system that’s not that well understood yet. What is understood is that the body has cannabinoid receptors throughout the central nervous system, the organs and the brain. These receptors are known as the endocannabinoid system. When the body naturally releases endocannabinoid chemicals (or you ingest them through a tincture) they connect with the receptors and that stimulates the body’s natural ability to create serotonin, a natural mood stabilizer.
Cohen has found that chronic conditions including autoimmune diseases and pain syndromes can be helped with a 6-mg under-the-tongue tincture (the fastest delivery system) or a 25-mg capsule taken twice a day. Dosages for topical products like lotions are especially hard to determine—there’s no clarity on how much CBD gets into the system through the skin.
Bad thing is that people remain massively uninformed about cannabis and cannabis derivatives. The average person doesn’t know what CBD is, they just equate cannabis with getting high and lazy stoner stereotypes. The gossip he speaks of then turns into gossiping about him and how he’s stoned all day, that’s why he’s so happy. I have had 100% positive effects from cbd oil. My anxiety feels like it’s under control in a healthy way for the first time in 20 years. I take 12mg 3 times daily. The only negative things about it worth mentioning are that it’s kind of pricey, and that people have noticed that I’m acting differently and are gossiping about what could have improved my mood so much https://cbdreamers.com/cbd-oil-for-anxiety-and-de…
However, a standout amongst the most well-known approaches to expend cannabidiol is still through CBD oil. A portion of the best CBD oils incorporate brands like Green Roads World and Pure CBD Vapors. They are particularly useful for anxiety since they contain practically no THC – so there’s no danger of getting “high.” Cannabis oil can be added to nourishment or basically dropped straight under the tongue for sublingual ingestion, which works fast in relieving. Also, CBD oil has no odour, so sedating is absolutely cautious.
Individuals are continuously suffering varying degrees of anxiety about death. We did a study on “An overview of Death Anxiety”, https://goo.gl/PvKvMJ. Method of concept analyses and an extensive online literature have been used for this study. Overall data provided evidence that anxiety about death is rife within western culture. Its prevalence, particularly with women and significant number of cases elderly people experience less death anxiety than young people.
I am not a doctor and this is not to be taken, interpreted or construed as medical advice. Please talk with a licensed medical professional about this. These are just my own personal thoughts and not a prescription or a diagnosis or any form of health care whatsoever. HOWEVER, dosages of over 100mg have never been shown to be an issue, and I personally do 30-60mg per day (if you use the NatureCBD form you can take less because it's far more absorbable).
In recent years, CBD has generated a tremendous amount of interest among consumers, clinicians, and scientists. Why? Not only does evidence suggest CBD counteracts many of THC’s adverse effects, but numerous animal studies and accumulating evidence from human experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies suggest CBD has powerful anti-anxiety properties. Administered acutely (“as needed”), it appears safe, well-tolerated, and may be beneficial to treat a number of anxiety-related disorders, including:
You can pretty much consider inflammation to be the freaking bane of our modern, fast-paced, industrialized lifestyles. Of the ten leading causes of mortality in the United States, chronic, low-level inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of at least seven, specifically heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and nephritis.
The first step to finding your correct CBD dosage is getting as much information as you can about the product you’re using. What is the concentration of CBD? Are there third-party lab tests that can confirm that? The CBD industry is still mainly a grassroots therapeutic movement, and as such, largely unregulated. Concentration and purity levels can differ greatly depending on the manufacturing process.
There’s also been a lot of talk lately about “microdosing” CBD. This refers to an incremental process of finding your minimum effective dose. You can do this with any concentration of CBD oil, but lower concentrations will take longer. In a 2017 article in Rolling Stone, Dr. Dustan Sulak outlines his protocol for microdosing. You can begin this process by asking yourself three questions:
India is the main cultivator of all the world’s turmeric crops and consumes 80% of the world’s supply. Due to the high content of the main bioactive component in turmeric (curcumin) Indian turmeric is considered to be the best in the world for medicinal purposes. The Indian city of Erode, located in the South Indian State of Tamil Nadu, is the trading hub for turmeric in the Eastern hemisphere. Erode is so well known for its turmeric production that it is referred to as “Yellow City,” and “Turmeric City” (similar to the way that my living room couch is covered in yellow stains from my frequent turmeric sprinkling on most of the dinners I eat).
Chronic pain: The body’s ECS plays a role in alleviating and managing pain, so CBD oil can work as a supplement for individuals with medical conditions that cause chronic pain, such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis. CBD oil also increases levels of adenosine in the brain; adenosine is a neurotransmitter that aids cardiovascular function and eases painful inflammation.
Later in 2014, researchers reported on preliminary results of a study involving children with treatment-resistant epilepsies in an expanded access “compassionate use program.” Patients received a purified 98 percent oil-based CBD extract called Epidiolex, which is made by GW Pharmaceuticals. After 3 months of treatment, 39 percent of the 23 patients had more than a 50 percent reduction in seizures, with a 32 percent median reduction. These preliminary results support the animal studies and survey reports that CBD may be a promising treatment for treatment-resistant epilepsy and it is generally well-tolerated in doses up to 25 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

As you’ve probably already heard, the hemp plant itself is a highly useful plant, and every part of it has been used to make a wide variety of products, including biofuel and medicine. Biofuel made from hemp seeds is far less expensive and more effective than ethanol derived from corn. If there weren’t so many federal restrictions, growing hemp would highly benefit any agricultural state, but unfortunately most states must pay an absurdly high premium to import hemp seeds. And of course, as you’re probably aware, both THC and CBD seem to be immersed in a constant struggle of medical legality that I simply don’t have the time to address in this post.
Linked to diet and lifestyle, atherosclerosis is common in developed Western nations and can lead to heart disease or stroke. It is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the progressive depositing of atherosclerotic plaques (immune cells carrying oxidized LDL or low-density lipoproteins). A growing body of evidence suggests that endocannabinoid signaling plays a critical role in the pathology of atherogenesis. The condition is now understood to be a physical response to injuries in the arterial walls’ lining, caused by high blood pressure, infectious microbes, or excessive presence of an amino acid called homocysteine. Studies have demonstrated that inflammatory molecules stimulate the cycle leading to atherosclerotic lesions. Existing treatments are moderately effective though carry numerous side effects. CB2 receptors triple in response to inflammation, allowing anandamide and 2-AG, the body’s natural cannabinoids, to decrease inflammatory responses. The CB2 receptor is also stimulated by plant-based cannabinoids.
The studies done on CBD oil have a pretty wide dose range (anywhere from a few milligrams to hundreds of milligrams). I suggest starting at the lower end (around 10 milligrams) and slowly increasing over a few weeks or months to see what works for you. Some people also do well with splitting the dosage throughout the day instead of taking the dose all at once. As with everything, it is always a good idea to talk with your prescribing doctor if you are on any medications. CBD is generally very safe, but there are some pharmaceutical medications CBD oil could potentially interact with and increase or decrease the pharmaceutical drugs' effectiveness.
Studies in humans, including many of those cited below, have demonstrated that CBD dosage reduces anxiety (once again, compared to the increased levels of anxiety that THC produces), and that when you combine CBD with THC, it takes the anxiety edge off THC. This is due to the action of CBD on 5HT1A and TRPV1 receptors, both of which are involved in mitigating the anxiolytic, panic and fear responses to stress.

The world is a big place and with the internet, there are no borders. All of us want to watch our favorite shows, but we don’t always have access to them. Netflix has an answer for that! In this blog post, you will learn how to watch Hunter X Hunter All Seasons on Netflix from anywhere in the world.
Are you a fan of the anime series Hunter X Hunter? If so, you can watch all seasons on Netflix in your country despite the restrictions! Watch episodes online and are caught up before a new season airs.
About Hunter X Hunter
Hunter x Hunter (HXH) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Togashi Yoshihiro. Based on the TV adaptation of the manga, this show (the first episodes released in 2011) follows Gon Freecss as he grows up to become a skilled hunter. A Hunter is someone who travels the world doing dangerous tasks. From capturing offenders to exploring uncharted regions for lost riches, hunting is a wide range of missions. Gon Freecss is a young boy whose father vanished many years ago while being a Hunter. He believes if he can follow in his father’s footsteps, they might someday be reunited again.
At the age of 12, Gon leaves his family and undertakes to pass the Hunter Examination, notorious for its low success rate and high mortality rate. He befriends Kurapica, a revenge-driven doctor who is also Leorio’s friend, as well as ex-assassin Killua in the exam; their friendship endures through many challenges and threats they face while pursuing a life as a hunter .
According to IMDB, the cast of this anime show includes a few voiceover actors and actresses from all over the world, but most of the United States and Japan:
- Issei Futamata (as Narrator);
- Megumi Han (as Gon Freecss);
- Erika Harlacher (as Kurapika);
- Cristina Valenzuela (as Killua Zoldyck);
- Daisuke Namikawa (as Hisoka Morow);
Is Hunter X Hunter Available on Netflix?
The famous anime TV show is available only in a few Netflix regions. In the United States and Canada, Netflix uses geo-blocking software to prevent viewers from watching content from other countries and that’s the reason why it is not available in your country.
At the moment HXH all 6 Seasons are available just in Netflix India, Switzerland, Pakistan, and France. And if you can change the location to it then you can access Hunter X Hunter all 6 Seasons and other titles on Netflix now .
Why I Can’t Watch Hunter X Hunter on Netflix Now?
HXH is only available on Netflix in a limited number of countries. This implies that you won’t be able to see the program if you live outside these territories.
VPNs provide a new IP address and redirect your online activity, making it appear as if you are browsing from a different place. When you connect to a US server, for example, Netflix will assume you’re from the United States and allow you to see all of the content in its collection – even if you’re not there.
You won’t have any trouble accessing geo-blocked material with a VPN, and you’ll be able to watch HXH!
How to Watch Hunter X Hunter on Netflix From Any Country?
If this anime is not available in your country and you know that it won’t appear on Netflix in your country any time soon, consider using VPN services to watch HXH anywhere in the world. The simplest method to alter your Netflix region is via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN encrypts all of your online activity and sends it through a server in a different country. It may impersonate your actual IP address by hiding it and replacing it with one from the country you choose.
Hunter X Hunter Review
The protagonist of HXH, Gon Freecss, is a young man who has spent all of his life searching for his father, Ging. To find his father, Gon must first become a hunter and set out to do so.
Gon is discovered as a baby by his mother, who decides to raise him as a hunter in the wild. As he grows up, however, he demonstrates an incredible power and learns how to control it through experiences with other kids and adults. Along the way, he meets Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua. Gon’s quest to become a legendary hunter begins when they set out to take the Hunter Exam together.
The anime has seven arcs, each of which is divided into two halves. The Hunter exam, Zoldyck family, Heaven’s arena, Yorknew city, Greed island, Chimera ant, and Chairman election arc are some of the arcs.
Gon and his friends fight the Phantom Troupe after getting certified, then Gon and Killua go into Greed Island in search of clues to find their father, Ging. The two then almost immediately get caught up in stopping the man-eating Chimera Ants from taking over the world.
This shonen anime is distinguished by its spectacular, high-powered battles that will have you cheering for the hero, afraid of the villains, and even weeping due to the unexpected consequences.
The fights between Gon and Hisoka, Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe, and so many other fierce conflicts will show stunning power, devotion, strategy, and an indisputable increase in strength as the characters grow and learn their true potential.
“Departure!” by Ono Masatoshi, which is also the closing song for the last episode of a hit, is the series’ opening theme. The opening themes are so moving that tears run down your face as you listen to them, yet they sound so legendary that you’re driven to succeed.
HXH offers a unique and exciting place for people to visit. With the idea of the Hunters’ Association, the stunning manifestation of “the power of friendship” and one-of-a-kind special effects employed in the program, it creates a new world that we have never experienced.
Hunter X Hunter Alternatives
It is a fantastic adventure-action shounen anime with a well-rounded whole and a highly anticipated story. In fact, if you’ve been watching this series thus far, you’d know that it’s a reboot called Hunter X Hunter (2011), which demonstrates how excellent and excellent it is! It demonstrated as much when it aired in 2011.
Luckily, there are some anime shonen TB series that resemble Hunter x Hunter in terms of the interesting plot and battles. They include:
1) Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins)
The plot. When the kingdom of Liones is seized by its traitorous Holy Knights, Princess Elizabeth is left with no choice but to seek out the kingdom’s most wanted criminals, the Nanatsu no Taizai (Seven Deadly Sins), and request their assistance. Despite the fact that the group had been missing for ten years, Princess Elizabeth never doubted them; instead, she thinks that everything that has happened so far is part of a diabolical plot by the malevolent Holy Knights of her kingdom, who are planning an absolutely awful scheme. Now known as the “Rusty Knight” Princess Elizabeth inadvertently enters the Boar Hat Bar – a traveling bar where fate intended her to meet Meliodas, the Dragon’s Sin of Wrath.
What is similar to HXH? Nanatsu no Taizai is an epic adventure-action anime. What makes it stand out is that it adheres to a sensible pattern that works well. The fights aren’t simply chaotic brawls where the characters unleash all of their strength; they’re structured in such a manner that you can sense the thrill and excitement through every turn and twist. And the action—it definitely lives up to its name! The characters are on an exciting journey with unexpected twists popping up now and then. Finally, the tale is thrilling and highly engaging! It’s hilarious when it needs to be, and it’s serious when the occasion demands it. This anime, like HXH, may immerse you in the narrative, develop throughout the story, and care about its characters in a way that few other shows can.
2) Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic
The plot. Dungeons have sprouted up all around the world, and they promise riches and power to those who successfully conquer them. It’s not that simple, though, because numerous individuals have attempted it before but failed!
There is a young man named Alibaba Saluja somewhere on this planet. He aspires of conquering a dungeon someday so he may realize his ambitions and aspirations. One day, he meets a boy named Aladdin who appears to be a regular kid but has an enigma behind his back. After that, Alibaba and Aladdin go on an adventure together in order to conquer their first dungeon — Amon’s Dungeon!
What is similar to HXH? Magi might appear to be very magical and charming at first, but it is actually far darker than anyone would believe. Some characters in this anime appear to just perish suddenly and unexpectedly. Even though it has its cheerful and bright moments, the underlying storyline is serious and dark. With joyful people in a world full of despair and depravity, Magi takes us on an international quest like HXH.
3) No Game No Life
The plot. Shiro and Sora are both known as the legendary gamer “Blank”. Both are Hikikomori N.E.E.T.s who live as brothers and sisters sharing a strong emotional connection and have shattered gaming’s limits by considering if they were born into the correct world. One day, a message from the gods of a different dimension arrives, inviting them to be summoned to Disboard. Tet, a boy who is the true god of Disboard: a world without murder or crime in which conflicts are resolved by games, is that deity. Shiro and Sora will struggle their way from the bottom to the top in order to earn the right to challenge the one true God, Tet himself.
What is similar to HXH? If you enjoy how battles are structured in HXH, as if everyone is battling a war of might and strength as well as wits and intellect, then No Game No Life will provide the same level of enjoyment. Despite the fact that there aren’t many physical combat or fight scenes in No Game No Life, it makes up for it with its outstanding mental confrontations/games. In a fight, strength and power are typically ineffective; what matters is the mind’s capacity to think up brilliant ideas and ingenious methods in a matter of seconds. No Game No Life, like HXH, is set in a fantastic world filled with mystery, so most anime fans will surely enjoy it as much.
4) World Trigger
The plot. A dimensional gate in the middle of Mikado City suddenly opens, and beings from another world known as “Neighbors” emerge. They bring ruin with them wherever they go. Fortunately, an organization of enigmatic yet powerful individuals known as the “Border” jumps into the fight to halt Neighbors’ incursion. The Border is now a peacekeeping force in Mikado City, ensuring safety when neighbors attack unexpectedly.
A year after the incident, a strange young boy named Kuga Yuuma enrolls at Mikado City’s school. His background is a mystery, and it’s unclear what his goals are, but he is a battle-hardened veteran who claims to be from another world.
What is similar to HXH? World Trigger is a science fiction anime that takes place in the far future, whereas HXH is set in the present day. While World Trigger has more of a sci-fi flavor, HXH has better narrative development and action sequences. The first is that, in World Trigger, combat takes place using the power of the mind rather than sheer strength. The story also has plenty of twists and intriguing possibilities. Also, while Kuga Yuuma (the protagonist) is already quite powerful (Yuma), he has vast room for improvement and development, as do other main characters and significant figures.
1. Did Netflix remove Hunter x Hunter?
HXH is a much-celebrated anime series that has attracted a devoted audience for over a decade. Of course, the show attracts a lot of attention through streaming, and Netflix has established itself as a favorite destination for binge-watching the shonen.
However, the program was removed from Netflix US and Canada recently.
HXH has been removed from Netflix since March 7, 2021, with all three seasons.
For any newcomers to Netflix, the series has 4 seasons listed on the website. The Greed Island arc begins in the fourth season, so everything leading up to that date will be removed from Netflix soon. So if you want to see it, you’ll need to come up with another method.
HBO Max will apparently get some Hunter x Hunter in the mix, according to a separate source. The streaming service has updated its list of available services for March 2021, and the anime was included. HBO Max will not be receiving three seasons, but it’s better than nothing .
2. Is Hunter x Hunter appropriate for 11-year-olds?
PG-13 is the rating of this show, so it means that 11-year-old kids should skip it until they grow up. The violence isn’t nearly bad enough to earn it an R-rating, even in the Chimera Ant saga. It is completely suitable for young children ..
3. Is HXH scary?
It is full of mystery and action, but it’s not really scary. Some of the battles are intense for sure, but if you’re looking for something that will scare your kids – this isn’t what you should be watching.
4. Why is HXH so good?
First and foremost, the series is a shonen anime. It follows Gon as he grows up and trains to become a hunter – or someone who finds lost treasures for people in need of them. The story isn’t too complicated but it’s captivating enough that you’ll want to see what happens next.
The fights are what you’re here for, though. The world is filled with interesting people who have unique abilities that they use to fight each other in different ways. If you like games where the characters’ powers seem “cool” and flashy – this show is great at many points after all.
5. Will Hunter X Hunter ever come on Netflix in my country?
It is a complicated question and only the executives of Netflix can answer it. However, you can skip waiting until the show appears in your country on Netflix and watch it on Netflix right now via a VPN server. For example, In Switzerland, HXH is streaming on Netflix, so you’ll need a US VPN server to view it.

He would have been 36 today.
I remember how shaken I felt when I heard the news less than a year ago. It felt so unreal, and so unfair. I still feel a wistful pang when I recall his memory, knowing he was taken far too early. He had so much more to be here on Earth.
I believe it was the 2007 TW-drama I Want to Become a Hard Persimmon (我要變成硬柿子) where I first laid eyes on him. If I recall correctly, his Mandarin wasn’t too great back then, but it was part of his charm, what with his soft-spoken personality. Down the rabbit hole I went: frequently perusing this Tumblr fanpage, lingering on his every gaze in the 2012 C-drama The Queen of SOP (勝女的代價), and forcing myself through the atrocious 2013 film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones in aggravatingly low resolution for what felt like only a few minutes of Godfrey screentime. I think I was more enamored with the type of person he was offscreen, rather than the characters he portrayed.
But then came the 2013 C-webseries Never Give Up, Dodo (錢多多煉愛記), which solidified my love for him as an actor. I’ve written at length on the show in years past so I won’t delve any further, beyond this: farcical, hilarious, bursting at the seams with so much heart on what it means to be a silly young couple on their way to the altar. I had never seen anything so simultaneously crude yet wholesome, and I will love Godfrey forever for letting me experience such a brilliant tongue-in-cheek story in full bloom. It is a shame that he ran out of time to experience such a marriage in his own life. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch any of his posthumous works, but I’m sure he approached every single one with a hardworking, professional attitude as we all knew him to have.
In my early days of discovering Godfrey, I came across one of his English-language interviews on YouTube. Hearing him speak in such a humble, gentle manner was so refreshing, like music to my ears. He was so inexplicably soft and sweet, different from the usual celebrity vibe. And granted, he was still a relative newcomer at the time, but I think he continued to carry that kind of humility in himself throughout his entire career.

- The sense of taste helps humans to obtain information and form a picture of the world by recognizing chemicals in their environments. Over the past decade, large advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms of taste detection and mimicking its capability using artificial sensor devices. However, the detection capability of previous artificial taste sensors has been far inferior to that of animal tongues, in terms of its sensitivity and selectivity. Herein, we developed a bioelectronic tongue using heterodimeric human sweet taste receptors for the detection and discrimination of sweeteners with human-like performance, where single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistors were functionalized with nanovesicles containing human sweet taste receptors and used to detect the binding of sweeteners to the taste receptors. The receptors are heterodimeric G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) composed of human taste receptor type 1 member 2 (hTAS1R2) and human taste receptor type 1 member 3 (hTAS1R3), which have multiple binding sites and allow a human tongue-like broad selectivity for the detection of sweeteners. This nanovesicle-based bioelectronic tongue can be a powerful tool for the detection of sweeteners as an alternative to labor-intensive and time-consuming cell-based assays and the sensory evaluation panels used in the food and beverage industry. Furthermore, this study also allows the artificial sensor to exam the functional activity of dimeric GPCRs.

I am trying to use a piezoelectric element to charge a li-ion battery. Basically my set-up so far is the following:
My piezoelectric element is connected to a LTC3588-1 module (1568-1038-ND) which outputs a 3.3V. I am trying to charge a single cell li-ion battery that requires 4.2V for charging. I am missing a component that takes the 3.3V output and converts in into a 4.2V for battery charging. Note the li-ion battery capacity will be pretty small, between 50 and 150 mah.
I searched all over and I cannot find components that work.
Ps. I am in my last year of mechanical engineering, I am not too familiar with electrical engineering.

A report calls for “high priority” research into endocrine disrupting chemicals commonly found in canned food, lotion, and other everyday products.
Getting active and cutting excess body fat are two of the best ways a woman can dramatically slash her breast cancer risk — the science is clear. However, obesity, along with genetics, contributes to just 30 percent of the breast cancer diagnoses women get every year. What isn’t so clear is what causes the remaining 70 percent of cases. And a new report released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Science may not provide much hope of definite answers anytime soon.
The goal of the two-year-long study was to determine whether there is strong link between breast cancer and environmental factors. Specifically, the panel of 15 cancer-research experts and nine members of the IOM looked at hormone therapies, hair dyes, flame retardants, plastic and canned food chemicals, heavy metals, different types of radiation, smoking and drinking tendencies, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. Though the report authors recommend high-priority research on endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A(BPA), dioxins, and flame retardants because of the “provocative, but as yet inconclusive” evidence of an association with breast cancer, they weren’t able to say definitively that chemicals were culpable in causing the disease, citing a lack of reliable scientific literature.
But that doesn’t mean the report was all bad news, says Julia Brody, PhD, executive director of the Silent Spring Institute, a nonprofit that investigates how environment relates to breast cancer. “The Institute of Medicine, for the first time, is telling breast cancer doctors to pay attention to chemicals that, in experimental studies, show biological activity that provides a plausible link to breast cancer,” she says, adding that, as part of the report, the panel outlined a strong research agenda and called for better safety testing of those chemicals.
Furthermore, just because researchers didn’t come up with a definitive answer doesn’t mean the chemicals in question are safe. “The data on suspect chemicals like BPA or parabens isn’t as complete as we would like it to be,” explains Alexandra Scranton, director of science and research at Women’s Voices for the Earth, a nonprofit group that works to eliminate toxic chemicals that impact women’s health. But that’s partly due to the fact that lax chemical regulation has allowed most of the 40,000-plus chemicals in existence today to be released onto the market before they’ve been tested for long-term health effects.
The onus shouldn’t rest entirely on an individual woman to reduce her breast cancer risk, Scranton adds, products we use every day should be safe. “Individuals cannot shop their way out of the problem, nor should they be expected to reduce their risk all on their own,” she says. “We need collaboration from government regulatory bodies, industry partners, and the medical community to work together to reduce environmental risks as a society.”
“The report calls attention to the need for chemical safety testing,” adds Brody. “We can’t intentionally expose people to these pollutants in experiments and then wait 60 years to see what happens.” And the sooner that safety testing comes, the better. A growing body of research suggests that the most important environmental exposures leading to breast cancer may be happening while you are still a fetus, when breast development is at its earliest stages. “What your body is exposed to in utero can alter the course of your breast development, making you more susceptible to breast cancer in later life,” explains Scranton. “Many recent studies on environmental exposures look at women’s exposures to chemicals as adults, which may not be playing as significant role as much earlier exposures.” She says one exciting aspect of this new report is the call for breast cancer causes “across the life course,” which would prioritize research for in utero exposures.
An estimated 230,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2011. Although treatment for the disease has come a long way, death rates have fallen by more than 30 percent since 1990, prevention has not. Despite the lack of evidence linking chemicals and other environmental contaminants to the disease, there are science-based ways to protect yourself.
Employ these precautions based on strong evidence that they reduce breast cancer risk:
Maintain a healthy weight: Eating poorly and a lack of exercise can lead to added pounds, which can in term fuel estrogen levels in the body, a known risk factor for the most common forms of breast cancer
Avoid certain types of hormone therapies: Combination hormone therapies using both estrogen and progestin increase the risk of breast cancer.
Avoid excess medical radiation: Some medical tests use ionizing radiation which is linked to cancer. The study authors say don’t avoid mammograms because the dose is so low, but only get higher radiation-emitting tests, such as CT scans, if absolutely necessary.
Watch what you drink: Drinking alcohol can cut heart disease risk, but if you drink too much, you could be bumping up your breast cancer risk. Eliminate drinking alcohol, or opt to have just one less than three times a week to cut your breast cancer risk.
Quit smoking: Smoking is a “probable” breast cancer risk factor, and quitting smoking also cuts your risk of developing other cancers.
Practice the precautionary principle for exposures about which there are still a lot of questions:
Clean greener: Most cleaning products on the market are laced with harmful industrial ingredients you won’t find listed on the label. A 2010 study published in the journal Environmental Health found that many household cleaning products are actually smudging our health. In the study, breast cancer was twice as prevalent in women who used the highest amounts of cleaning products; those who used air fresheners and mold and mildew products (especially the ones containing bleach) faced the highest risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Eat organic: Many studies are finding links between pesticide exposure and ADHD, autism, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer, including breast cancer. Because people are also exposed to many other different chemicals, it’s hard for scientists to definitively say that certain pesticides cause cancer before the chemical’s been on the market for decades. When you buy organic food, you’re ensuring that your food is grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, sewage sludge laced with human and industrial waste, and genetically engineered ingredients.
Avoid canned food: Researchers may not have completely ID’d BPA as a breast cancer causer in humans, but we already know it causes mammary tumors in rodent studies. To lower your exposure to BPA, avoid canned food and choose fresh or frozen whenever possible.
Be mindful of mileage and the contents of your garage: Researchers involved with this report put a big emphasis on benzene’s potential role in causing breast cancer. This volatile chemical vapors off as you pump gas and inhale air pollution from vehicles. Brody suggests getting an electric vehicle, taking public transportation, or driving the most fuel-efficient car you can afford to cut back on lifetime exposure. Be sure to avoid running your car inside a garage, and don’t store gas-powered equipment like mowers or leaf blowers in your basement or a garage that’s attached to your home, benzene vapors will find their way into your living space.
Avoid air fresheners and scented candles: You might be surprised to know that benzene often spews from artificially scented candles, creating major indoor air pollution. Choose beeswax candles and instead of using air fresheners that often contain carcinogens, clean up the source of the bad smell, and then put out a bowl of white vinegar to safety disperse any lingering aroma.

CSU coach Steve Fairchild talks to quarterback Garrett Grayson during Saturday?s game at Hughes Stadium. Fairchild?s future with the team is uncertain.
- Filed Under
Athletic director Paul Kowalczyk has said he'll wait until the end of the season to decide the fate of CSU football coach Steve Fairchild and his staff.
But Saturday's 45-21 loss to Air Force, the seventh in a row for a CSU team that is one loss away from a third consecutive 3-9 season, might have sealed the fourth-year coach's fate.
The Rams, after taking an early 7-0 lead, gave up 31 unanswered points in the second quarter and never again were in a game that drew an announced crowd of just 14,107 to Hughes Stadium. ...

Success doesn`t show in the drab, New York Park Avenue offices of Premiere magazine. A hand-written note taped to the boring beige walls outside the editor`s office reads: ``Soon to be an actual bulletin board for posting screenings.``
But don`t let the beige and the pathetic taped note fool you. Premiere magazine, which debuted this summer loaded with colorful, entertaining stories about the movies, is an apparent hit.
It may prove to be the first successful movie magazine launched since Photoplay more than 30 years ago.
Maybe you`ve noticed the slick, oversized monthly with Diane Keaton or William Hurt on the cover, on a magazine rack next to Rolling Stone. That is where Joseph Cece, the 34-year-old director of development for Murdoch Magazines, said he has ``indicated`` to magazine distributors he would like to see Premiere placed.
Obviously Cece would like to see Premiere become to moviegoers what Rolling Stone became to rock music fans. And while Rolling Stone celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a circulation of 1.1 million copies, Premiere in its first issue managed to sell-without much advertising-a startling 70 percent of its initial 300,000 print order. And 12 percent of those readers, four times what is considered a good industry response, returned subscriber cards.
The strong reaction surprised many Murdoch executives, who had been skeptical about anyone`s ability to sell a movie magazine.
Cece put it this way: Unlike potential buyers of womens` magazines, who can be found on credit card lists and magazine subscription lists, ``where do you find people who want to buy a movie magazine? You have to have a backer with deep pockets to launch a major magazine.``
At Murdoch Magazines, the deep pockets obviously belong to Rupert Murdoch, who Cece said has committed ``risking between $8 million and $10 million`` to launch Premiere before he sees a profit.
Murdoch`s partner is Hachette Publications of France, which has published the French Premiere for 10 years. The same partnership publishes the enormously successful American edition of Elle magazine.
Murdoch`s Premiere is more luxurious and eye-catching than the French version, using heavier paper and flashier graphics.
The cover subject of the first issue was Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks in
``Dragnet.`` The second issue featured Diane Keaton in ``Baby Boom.``
The November cover story is an interview with William Hurt, an unusually clear explanation of the often tongue-twisting, mind-bending star, by freelance writer Fred Schuers. The December issue will feature Michael Douglas in ``Wall Street,`` the latest film from ``Platoon`` writer-director Oliver Stone. But the story about the eagerly anticipated film gets off to a dubious start, comparing the ``body count`` in Vietnam and Wall Street.
Of course, it`s what`s behind the cover that recommends Premiere. The most popular feature, according to editor Susan Lyne, is ``Shot by Shot,`` a multiphoto spread with an elaborate text explaining the production of a single scene: the baby carriage gunfire battle in ``The Untouchables`` for example, or the reshooting of the bloody ending of ``Fatal Attraction.``
The feature carries a warning-not nearly legible enough-``Do Not Read This Story Until You`ve Seen the Movie.``
``Shot by Shot has become so popular,`` says editor Lyne, 37, formerly Murdoch`s managing editor of the Village Voice, ``that publicists are now calling us and saying, `How about this scene for Shot by Shot?` ``
December`s Shot by Shot will feature the diapering of a baby by three bachelors in the American version of the French comedy ``Three Men and a Cradle.``
If the most popular feature in Premiere is a behind-the-scenes look at movie-making, that`s just fine with Cece and Lyne.
``Our goal,`` Cece said, ``is to be read by the young man and woman who wait in line in the rain on the opening weekend of the latest hot movie. We`re not after the movie scholar or the teenager going to see `Friday the 13th-Part V.` We want the true movie fan.``
And Cece was able to find such fans by handing out free samples and questionnaires to people waiting in line on opening night in major moviegoing cities.
``We also used the mailing list of the CBS Video Club. In fact, we hope to use video stores as one of our key sales points. We`re looking at movie theaters, too, but we haven`t had much success there so far.``
The second most popular feature in the magazine, according to Lyne, is the leadoff pages of short items edited by Terri Minsky, 30, a former Wall Street Journal reporter.
``I`m not doing the throwup story,`` Minsky yells to an editor walking by her office. He has been pushing her to do a takeout on the great number of recent movies showing people throwing up.
Minsky, who eagerly volunteers that she knows very little about movies, says she tries to answer the questions that ``a lot of moviegoers may have but never get a chance to ask.``
For example, various items in Short Takes have explained:

Is it vulgar to discuss wine on a Wednesday? If so, you might want to skip this blog, as it is completely dedicated to one of our favourite South African Wines – the Kleine Zalze Sauvignon Blanc!
If you are a wine lover and you have visited South Africa, you will probably agree that a Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape is just about as good as it gets! And while we tried more than a few different ‘brands’ during our two-year tenure in Cape Town, it was the delicate offerings of Kleine Zalze that made it our number one South African Vino!
Sitting just 3 km outside Stellenbosch, Kleine Zalze forms part of the De Zalze Wineland and Golf Estate, an outstanding golf, leisure, dining and winemaking venue in the Western Cape.
Set in breathtaking surroundings, this exquisite estate attracts golfers and connoisseurs from across the world, yet we were lucky enough to stumble upon it during one of our Sunday afternoon trips to Stellenbosch.
The restaurant on the estate, Terroir, is a fantastic place to spend a sunny afternoon, and it was here that we were introduced to the Kleine Zalze Sauvignon Blanc; a crisp and fruity white wine that seems to go with everything!
While I would like to consider myself a ‘wine connoisseur’, I have to admit I struggle to find tobacco, apricots or any other strange object in my wine, so I will leave you with the Kleine Zalze description of their 2013 Sauvignon Blanc offering:
“The 2013 vintage shows a wonderful experience of tropical, green fig, melon and asparagus flavours. The wine is full with typical cultivar flavours on the nose and ends with a clean, fresh well-structured aftertaste. The complexity and the pH of the wine are indicative of a good maturing potential after bottling. The well-balanced acidity gives this wine a crisp, optimum ripe finish.”

DIECAST kicks off a month-long North American tour as direct support to Drowning Pool tonight in Evansville, WI. The group recently completed a monstrous 10-week U.S. tour with Sevendust, which marked the longest tour of the groupâ€™s storied career as well as the third U.S. run in support of their newest album, Internal Revolution, praised by Decibel magazine as â€œperhaps the best music of the bandâ€™s career.â€? See the tour section for the complete itinerary.
Dennis Pavia (drums) checks in with the following report: â€œOur first show with Drowning Pool starts tonight, and we are very excited to get back on the road. We really feel like this is going to be a special tour for us since we've just come off the best tour we've ever had with Sevendust. It will be nice to see a lot of familiar faces and new ones as well.
â€œOur new video for â€œNothing I Could Sayâ€? is now on MTV2's Headbangers Ball and its been getting a great response. It was actually really nice to make a video that didn't have any performance footage in it and that was more based around a twisted story. I've been in the band for a little over a year now and it's everything Iâ€™ve ever hoped for and more. Things keep getting better and hopefully we will have a chance to see you at the upcoming shows.â€?
DIECASTâ€™s new single for the track â€œNothing I Could Say,â€? edited by Brian Malouf (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Pearl Jam), is quickly gaining momentum at Active Rock Radio. A video for the track was shot by Ian McFarland (Sick Of It All) and Mike Pecci. Their unique vision was a perfect fit for the track, resulting in an epic, conceptual piece that is grabbing people's attention.
