Hi Matt,
I don't remember any references to flouride, nor is there a mention in our notes.
Sodium bicarbonate works better than salt. It's a mild abrasive and raises the pH.
Cheers!

Matt, I put this Q to Billy last year http://forum.figu.org/cgi-bin/us/discus.cgi?pg=next&topic=12&page=6175
His answer was that he had not be given any information regarding the safety of water treatment practices.

G'day dyson and James
Thanks for the suggestions
There is a lot of flack about flouridization of water in recent years as this cancer causing chemical has been given the go ahead by nearly every government around the world starting with no other than the USA to be added to the water supply.
Dyson, I am assuming you can purchase sodium bicarbonate off the shelf in the local chemist, am I correct in saying this?
Thanks fellas

Here is an interesting article about Fluoride. I personally think it's as all other scams and it is a known poison that keeps the people docile and is an effective mind control.
Also if I recall corectly a while back there was an article on Rense.com and maybe also in Nexus magazine.com You can be the judge:

Hi all,
Sodium bicarbonate is called "bicarbonate of soda" in the USA and "carb soda" in Australia.
I think (I'm no expert!) that the fluoride debate may have a lot of reverse psychology in it. It occurs naturally, and that's how it was discovered that places without it in the drinking water were also places where there was a lot of tooth decay. I use it in toothpaste and my teeth are now fine (as a kid, without it, I had rotten teeth - everybody did) and I'm never sick a day any more. I have the blood pressure and cardiovascular fitness of an 18 year old, (Im 57) and (according to the doctors) "bones like concrete".
Almost everything is poisonous in sufficient quanity. Especially food!
(Except maybe chocolate.)
Cheers!

Hi Scott,
Last time I bothered to do them, yup. I stay fit doing the outdoor manual work I do on our 100 acres, so it's more of an annual "test" than exercise, per se.
And you, fellow graying vet? Do you still house your spirit-form reverently? :-)
Cheers!

Hi Dyson,
Not too much of the graying, I don't smoke or drink per se, but living in a semi-urban environment I do get my daily workout dodging cars and taking deep breaths of the semi-toxic atmosphere..... I do take at least a 20-30 minute hike each day, but my job requires physical work, so I tend to get some physical exercise one way or the other....100 acres that must indeed keep you busy!
Regards

Since there's been a lot of interest in water purification, I thought I'd put this out there. I worked in the industry for about 16 years (I'm responsible for Starbucks putting high quality units in to purify their water and protect their equipment internationally).
For home/apartment units, I've been quite happy with the Multi-Pure system for a long time (25 years) and use it myself.
I can offer the following to U.S.-based people, the unit shown here:
http://www.multipureco.com/mpad.htm
...can be bought through me for $180, which includes tax and shipping. Just contact me for more details.
You might want to look into the various systems out there to see if this is for you. It doesn't produce distilled water, minerals remain but a large range of chemical and other contaminants are removed.

Hello to all
it has been noted since ancient times that babies practice in a natural way what is called "abdominal respiration" (which allows a lot of air to enter into the lungs), and that as people grow up "lose" this way of breathing
i have read that supposedly men from remote tribes and who still live close to nature continue to breath in this way (abdominal respiration) even as adults
since i have never traveled to far away mountains or jungles and never been in close contact with such tribes i donīt know for sure if the above statement is true
does anyone knows?
thank you
take care |

Hi Memo....
Long time no see...
As far as I know, and am acquainted with: a baby does indeed have a very
Natural way of breathing. It's own 'tempo/pace' of respiration. And as it
grows older, indeed...does adapt itself to the aging process.
But, as what I have gathered was: that our today's Environment (situation)
also Reflects this manner/way of respiration (tempo/pace). As you may know,
that with all the Pollution...etc.; would truly have a Negative Effect within
the Human Body, thus: it's Lungs, inclusive...it's mechanism, so to speak.
And in the case of the Tribal Men and/or whom ever: would apply Still, due to
them still living in a Natural Environment, which is practically NOT
Polluted...etc. And still living within/amongst the - Lungs of Earth/Nature
-,herself(Trees, jungles: Natural Greens, untouched). Thus, they can still
sustain, this/that way of (Natural) respiration. And thus, they are not
directly influenced by the mentioned Negative aspects, per se.
Many Island men around the world are known for diving for long periods of
times beneath the water lines, it be for fishing, pearl diving....etc. Thus,
what you mentioned would still apply to these inhabitants, I would think. This
would be about the only explanation....for their abilities and capabilities,
concerning.
Thus, as you can notice: a (Natural) Clean Environment can still contribute to
many Natural Mechanisms, or what ever, to function properly and as they
should, to/for the Human's (body) advantage.

Memo I saw the question you just posted to Billy, and I want to give you an answer based on my experience.
I've been suffering reactions to many items over the last year and have become extremely perceptive of the effect they have on me. Although I'm not asthmatic I keep Ventolin handy in case I have trouble breathing.
I had a small tropical freshwater fish tank which caused me hell through the last year. It was one of the worst triggers of my allergies and it took me a while to make the connection because I have been simultaneously reacting to other items.
I was fairly sure the tank was causing breathing difficulty, swelling in my face and other problems. When I took out a piece of bog wood to boil (because it had algae I didn't want on it) the fumes of the boiling wood made me nauseous. I cleaned the tank frequently so mold was unlikely a culprit. So I moved the tank outdoors and my health improved. Unfortunately each time I cleaned my tank, or even got near it to feed the fish, it triggered my allergy and within 10 minutes I would feel its effect and it would carry through throughout the day usually peaking after a few hours. Soon after I sold the tank on eBay, fish and all.
My last encounter with a tank was at the outpatient hospital centre where I took my grandfather for a post-op checkup. They had a large freshwater fish thank at the entrance, and I thought it'd be a good opportunity to see if it will cause me respiratory problems. Behold after passing by the tank in the hospital foyer I had difficulty breathing and face swelling while I sat waiting for my grandfather in the car.
I can't tell you if saltwater tanks are safer, but there's little doubt a mature (cycled) freshwater tank, even unheated and without aeration, is dangerous.
Be aware that at this point I diagnose myself as having "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity". Perfumes make me feel sick, I use sensitive washing powder, use hypoallergenic products. If I get a whiff of high VOC paint fumes I'm done for the day. Even seemingly innocent items, like a teddy bear with a silver painted body and a shoebox with a nasty dye had a bad affect(possibly containing lead).
I don't think my problems are so uncommon. I've been very inactive physically over the last year, but otherwise in good health. I'm sure I would be diagnosed an asthmatic or something else had I not made an effort to clear my environment of toxins.
I would not recommend you keep a fish tank if you have children or suffer allergies. Personally I'd fare better sleeping with a fluffy cat than keeping a fish tank, but aquariums have interested me since a kid and I always wanted to try my hand at keeping a marine tank because I love the sea so much I wanted to own a piece of it.
Contact Report 10
192. "Other people may claim something as their exclusive property, but he who thinks spiritually identifies it with the truth within and, therefore, owns everything internally."
What a great truth and what a better fish tank than the ocean! I'll stick to diving.

Hello dear Billy
it has been explained that having animals inside our houses isnÂīt very hygienic, and can cause several diseases specially cats, dogs, birds, mustelids, turtles and rabbits.
I would like to know if having an aquarium (with tropical fish) can also be bad for health.
I have read about some diseases that can be transmitted though cuts while your hands are in the water but nothing serious and nothing that canÂīt be avoided with some precaution.
thank you very much for your time

Hello James
thanks for sharing your experience, and regarding:
"Other people may claim something as their exclusive property, but he who thinks spiritually identifies it with the truth within and, therefore, owns everything internally."
What a great truth and what a better fish tank than the ocean! I'll stick to diving. "
i have thought of that too, i love nature but unfortunately where i live there arenīt too many trees, plants, or wild animals or anything, only humans, buildings, cars, dogs, cats, rats, cockroaches, smog and more smog! So i keep a fish tank and some plants (mainly cactus). But i think its a better idea to move to some other place where i can be next to a forest or something, to be closer to nature.
Anyway lets see what Billy has to say.
By the way, as far as i know, i donīt have any serious allergic reaction or anything, like all i have had some minor health problems through the years but havenīt connected that with the aquarium.
Well, thanks again for sharing, and take care of yourself (if "normal" doctors canīt help you with your health problems, go see a good acupunturist, some supposedly incurable (for western medicine) diseases are easily treated with other methods (for example Psoriasis).
take care |

Hi Creational/Zhila....
Will post here, ok? Seems the most appropriate.
Well, genital circumcision as well male as female, if done correctly has more
positive health benefits, than One would think.
Of course, through time, each country decided what to remove and what not, to
remove. In essences, with the females, it is the Inner Labia(minora) which is
traditionally removed. With the males, the foreskin. And this all concerns,
the Hygiene of the concerning genitals. Due, to weather circumstances or poor
hygiene maintenance, certain viruses can emerge and go so on, even the known
Genital Warts. Which can be very life threatening, when not remedied. Even
today, (western) women at a much older age do execute such treatment when
needed, when they have contracted Genital Warts, or similar tissue aliments.
[Note: Genital Warts is a vicious STD...]
Thus, at a very young age, female circumcision, it(Genital Warts) and other
aliments are just being Prevented; as contrary to today's elderly girls/women
who do contract it and have it removed, at their somewhat older age.
Thus, female genital circumcision is not always per se, related to any such
Cult Religion, directly...as One can notice.
So, the removing of such skin tissues, are mostly related to the just above
mentioned causes.
But, of course, in some countries it has truly gotten out-of-hand, when
removing the Clitoris is executed, as example. Which does not directly involve
the above mentioned circumstances/problematics. But, alas, some Cult Religions
still 'believe' that the Clitoris, which is the sensitive origin of the woman
related to her sexual arousing, should be inhibited. Which is of course, of a
deceptional though and conclusion.
This topic has been discussed here in the past. [Utilize Search Engine for
additional information]

EXACTLY being discussed here, IS the CULT practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
[ "in those Muslim countries where it is practice, FGM is often justified by a controversial saying attributed to the Prophet Mohammed that seem to favor sunna circumcision involving minor cutting of the clitoris. The authenticity of these sayings are unconfirmed, and some scholars have refuted them. Even if true, they only permit the practice; they do not mandate it.
FGM has probably been performed for at least 1,400 years (some references estimate 2,000 years), and started during what Muslims call "al-gahiliyyah" (the era of ignorance)." ] - (emphasis added /R)
-Source: http://www.religioustolerance.org/fem_cirm.htm
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
[ "Female circumcision, the partial or total cutting away of the external female genitalia, has been practiced for centuries in parts of Africa, generally as one element of a rite of passage preparing young girls for womanhood and marriage. Often performed without anesthetic under septic conditions by lay practitioners with little or no knowledge of human anatomy or medicine, female circumcision can cause death or permanent health problems as well as severe pain. Despite these grave risks, its practitioners look on it as an integral part of their cultural and ethnic identity, and some perceive it as a religious obligation. ...
[ "Opponents of female genital cutting, however, emphasize that the practice is detrimental to women's health and well-being. Some consider female circumcision a ritualized form of child abuse and violence against women, a violation of human rights." ...
[ "In the Platform of the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, female genital mutilation was cited as both a threat to women's reproductive health and a violation of their human rights." ] - (emphasis added /R)
-Source: http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/2313097.html
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
[ "In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO), a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), recommended that the UN adopt this terminology; subsequently, it has been widely used in UN documents. ...
[ " In this context, the term female circumcision was thus predominantly replaced by the term female genital mutilation: ...
[ "The extensive literature on the subject, the support of international organizations, and the emergence of local groups working against the continuation practices appear to suggest that an international consensus has been reached. The terminology used to refer to these surgeries has changed, and the clearly disapproving and powerfully evocative expression of "female genital mutilation" has now all but replaced the possibly inaccurate, but relatively less value-laden term of "female circumcision"." ] - (emphasis added /R)
-Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_cutting
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
There is NO therapeutic value for the horrendous practice of this mutilation (FGM), which masquerades as so-called "female circumcision."
If you have a wart on your nose, would you remove the nose? If a woman has a 'wart' remove the wart.
Such ignorant practice as FGM by any name, is EXACTLY a CULT imposition of Men upon Women.

Hi All....
Well, what makes Female Circumcision so Contradictive is: it is alas executed
without NO Temporary Local Anaesthesia, which is of course, not in place.
THIS IS, what can cause harm to the female/child. And which speaks for itself.
If Temporary Local Anaesthesia is applied, nothing can go wrong.
Take the Male Circumcision for example, if it can be executed in this manner,
it can also, to the females.
Every Religious group of people interpret this practice in their own manner;
and of course, there are extreme cases, which can cause bodily hard or even
death due to NO Temperary Local Anaesthesia...is applied.
And we are not speaking of just ONE WART, BUT....MANY WARTS!
Best to do some research on Genital Warts and other related Genital (tissue)
STD's, those whom do not know much about these STD's and are Ignorant. In
many cases, these cluster of Warts can not always be remedied with salves or
other means when in too progressive state, than, the Inner Labia(minora) must
be removed(; with Men their foreskin and even the contaminated Glans, when
affected; with similar procedure!). Than: Prevention is more in place...than being TOO LATE!
Genital Warts is a very Vicious STD, in this time and age amongst the Western
Youths as well as elderlies, these days. Due to not being Hygienic with their
genitals. And it seems to be a 'taboo' to even talk about it! But, it is as Real as
the Reality it lives in.
Warm and Hot Earthly regions generate easily more bacterias and germs which in
turn create certain Viruses, even the mentioned Genital Warts, and go so on.
Thus, in some cases, some peoples have taken this into account, which is
Positive. And those whom proceed otherwise, concerning...just is an Erroneous
Interpretation of their Belief, when related or, what else is in relation, to.
But, if it is all up to me: NO ONE has to be Circumcised!
Just make sure, that YOU....keep your Genitals CLEAN! And not go jumping in
bed with everyone you encounter. And make sure you receive your shots against
STD's on time, if you are very active, sexually. And Always apply - Safesex -.
And if not: the Consequences is all in YOUR hands! "CAUSE and Effect!"
