Big Increase in Injuries from Falls

The Centers for Disease Control reported that the rate of injuries from falls rose 39% from 2007 to 2013.  The rate increased 76% for people 75 y.o. plus.  Brain injuries, hip fractures, and death are the most devastating results.  27,000  Americans die from falls each year.  Decreased vision, dizziness, and unsteadiness from various chronic illness all contribute.  Much can be done by having your vision checked yearly and learning exercises that strengthen your legs and improve balance.  A vibration plate called Vibabody costing about $1500 can be very helpful.  Additional railings in the house can reduce the risk.

Detoxify or Die

Dr. Sherry Rogers’s book of that title strikes home.  All of us carry significant loads of organic toxins, over and above the toxic minerals that we hear so much about.  Recent urine tests looking for as many as 168 organic toxins have been developed by prominent holistic labs such as Great Plains Laboratory in Kansas and Doctor’s Data in Chicago.  If you are found to have high levels of toxins, such measures as milk thistle, anti-oxidants, saunas, massage, exercise, and foot baths can detoxify.  Hopefully, that will help you feel better, avoid disease, and live longer.
