I want to follow up the previous video I did and talk more about supplement reactions and regressions. Sometimes when you have a new group of supplements to begin you have supplements in different forms. You may have chewables, you may have capsules and you may even have liquid suspensions. And as I said previously, I suggest that you add them each one at a time instead of all in the same day. Waiting 2 to 3 days in between each new supplement is...more
Bad breath affects all of us at one time or another, but you have to consider the underlying cause to know whether your bad breath is a simple one time case or if it is indicative of chronic halitosis. Certain foods such as garlic and onions can cause bad breath when consumed. This is due to the fact that after eating these noxious foods they are absorbed into the bloodstream and make their way into the lungs where their odor is eventually expelled. You might think that its possible to eliminate bad breath caused by food with gum, brushing, or mouthwash, but the fact of the matter is that the odors produced by these foods will not be eliminated until the food itself is illuminated from your system.Bad breath can also be caused by underlying medical conditions such as posts nasal drip, diabetes, respiratory tract infection, and chronic bronchitis among others. The best way to determine whether your bad breath is being caused by an underlying medical condition is to consult with your dentist to determine whether the other aspects of your dental hygiene are in order thus eliminating them as a likely candidate for your bad breath.Tobacco products can cause bad breath and the best...more

The impetus for this article is to delve into the various studies concerning asbestos and cigarette smoke. One interesting study is called, Cocarcinogenic and tumor promoting properties of asbestos and other minerals in tracheobronchial epithelium. By Mossman BT, Cameron GS, Yotti LP. - Carcinog Compr Surv. 1985;8:217-38. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Epidemiologic and experimental studies document a synergistic effect of asbestos and smoking in the induction of bronchogenic carcinoma. Whereas the increased risk of these cancers in nonsmoking asbestos workers is 4-fold or less in comparison to nonsmokers in the general population, individuals who smoke and are exposed to asbestos occupationally have a 80-90 fold increased risk. The observations summarized above provide substantial insight into the interactions between asbestos and chemical carcinogens in cigarette smoke at the cellular level (Fig. 8). On the one hand, asbestos fibers and other particulates appear to act as condensation nuclei for PAH in the occupational setting or environment. They then facilitate the transfer of these chemical carcinogens into target cells, i.e., those destined to develop into tumor cells. As a...more
