This falls under the heading of: Did you get your update when they found out that what they have been telling you for years was wrong?
We have often told clients that much of what the medical community has told us was an absolute as far as their health suggestions are concerned is controverted by their own research but that they never give us the update so many people swear by old truisms that have been proven false long ago.
Some of the staunchest adherents of the outdated information are medical doctors. Why? Because they are constantly overwhelmed with reading material from all of the studies and pharmaceuticals that they just can’t keep up with it all. In fact, as Americans get sicker and sicker, they are just trying to keep up with their case loads.
The old adage about limiting salt for heart patients was disproved long ago when studies determined that it was not the salt that was irritating blood vessels and the heart, but rather the “dross” in processed salt. (Dross is the gravel and granules that are so hard that the body can’t break them down so they just scratch the walls of the vessels causing… you guessed it, increased cholesterol, the fatty patching material that the body makes to repair the scratches!) One of the reasons that the granules are so hard is that commercial salt is compressed into rocks when it is heated to over 1200 degrees. Why do they do that to salt? So it pours when it rains! That is also why they add aluminum, another component of the irritating dross. Now, as a nation, we are sodium deficient which, among other things, interferes with the electrolyte balance needed for healthy heart function. Didn’t you get that update? Natural sea salt is the way to go.
Now, scientists have determined that the sun protects you from skin cancer, and wait for it… sunscreen chemicals cause skin cancer! Amazing, isn’t it? What is really amazing is that people so readily believed that the sun was harmful when it is the very reason we have life on this planet.
All the more reason to use natural sun protection against sunburn, cancer or not, and supplement with a natural, properly proportioned Vitamin A & D supplement. And then, get out there in the sun!
