(Zinc With Vitamin C) a popular supplement sold in Health Food Stores all over USA.  This is NOT a quality product and here’s why: The vitamins C is from 2 different synthetic Sources (as ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate) it is 1000 mg of Vitamin C yet only 20mg (of the 1000) is from a natural source (Acerola Berry). Zinc is from 2 different sources of ground up rocks (zinc gluconate & zinc citrate).  It’s not real food folks it’s dirt. Next we have OTHER INGREDIENTS: listed, 3 different types of sugars all bad (Fructose, Sorbitol, Glucose) then Stearic Acid, finally we have a natural sugar (honey). Silica, Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Lemon Flavor (not real lemon) & Citric Acid. People are buying this for themselves and their children thinking they’re getting something real good, what a disappointment.  The last line is what they do not have in the product (NO yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, starch, preservatives or artificial color) that’s good but the major reason people are buying this product is for Vitamin C and Zinc, and it is synthetic and ground up rocks.  You can get the same and probably even a cheaper product in any drugstore.

Check your label and supplements.

We live in a sickness-causing environment.

Healthy Child, Healthy World

We cannot ignore the fact any more: We are living in a sickness-causing environment. We are exposed to hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals every day. This is a health risk for everyone, but one group is particularly vulnerable: children.
Our bodies are bombarded with unavoidable challenges: stress, smoking, pollution, processed foods – even normal functions like eating and breathing – produce free radicals in our bodies. These free radicals cause oxidative stress, which can lead to challenge like:

Robyn O’Brien

Sitting at the table in her suburban kitchen, with her four young children tumbling in and out, Robyn O’Brien, 36 years old, seems an unlikely candidate to be food’s Erin Brockovich (who, by the way, has taken Ms O’Brien under her wing).

Robyn was also the kind of mom who rolled her eyes when the kid with a peanut allergy showed up at the birthday party. Then, about two years ago, she fed her youngest child scrambled eggs. The baby’s face quickly swelled into a grotesque mask. “What did you spray on her?” she screamed at her other children. Little Tory had a severe food allergy, and Robin’s journey had begun.

Robyn O’Brien encourages people to do what she did: throw out as much nonorganic processed food as you can afford to.  Avoid anything genetically modified, artificially created or raised with hormones. Don’t eat food with ingredients you can’t pronounce. Once she cleaned out her cupboards, she said, her four children started behaving better. Their health problems, which her doctor attributed to allergies to milk and other foods, cleared up.

We’re committed to restoring the health of our kids, one bite at a time. Take it from us. We have children with allergies, ADHD, autism and asthma, too.  Finding safe and healthy solutions by helping you to reduce your family’s exposure to food additives is what we’re good at. Let us share our knowledge and ideas.

Calcium Carbonate is not a food it’s from rocks, Old technology as a food supplement.

Calcium carbonate is composed of three elements which are of particular importance for all organic and inorganic material on our planet: carbon, oxygen and calcium. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a white solid and odourless.

stalagmite composed of calcium carbonate

The earths crust contains more then 4% calcium carbonate, making it one of nature’s most abundant raw materials. Calcium carbonate is found as rock in all parts of the world, is the main component of seashells and is usually the principal cause of hard water. As well being dissolved in rivers and oceans, the mineral can be found in molten form as “cold” carbonatite-lava, or as a solid in the form of stalactites, stalagmites or as the major constituent of whole mountain ranges.

Calcium Carbonate Geology

Calcium carbonate is normally found as a white mineral (calcite) which occurs naturally in chalks, limestones and marbles. Some of these rocks were formed by inorganic processes, but many are of organic origin being composed of the remains of countless sea organisms. Most are limestones, a general term used for a rock possessing varying proportions of calcite and dolomite with small amounts of iron-bearing carbonates. Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium, with the formula CaMg(CO3)2. Limestones are usually clear or white. However, with impurities, they can take on a variety of colours, commonly white, tan or grey.

More about calcium carbonate geology

The most common crystal arrangement for naturally-occurring calcium carbonates is the hexagonal form of calcite. Less common is aragonite, which has a discrete or clustered needle, orthorhombic crystal structure. Aragonite is formed in a narrow range of physio-chemical conditions, typically in thermal springs although mollusc shells and pearls are made of aragonite.

Calcium carbonate production

Commercial calcium carbonate is produced in 2 ways: through the extraction and processing of natural ores or synthetically through chemical precipitation. Ground calcium carbonate is commonly referred to as GCC. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is produced through a recarbonisation process or as a by-product of some bulk chemical processes (e.g. the Solvay method or caustic soda production).

How calcium carbonate is turned into fillers and functional additives

A long history of uses from prehistory to the present day

Calcium carbonate has been used since prehistoric times to the present day.  The history of calcium carbonate shows how we have been able to utilise the unique properties of this mineral to improve the quality of life through the ages.

Historical uses of calcium carbonate

Modern calcium carbonate uses - paper, paint, rubber, plastics, household products, sealants, agriculture, bread, pharmaceuticals, glass

Today, Calcium carbonate powders, precipitated products and dolomite, are among the most important and versatile materials used by industry. It is used as a filler and functional additive in an incredible variety of industrial applications ranging adhesives & sealants, building products, glass, paints & inks, paper, plastic & rubber to animal feeds, flue-gas desulphurisation, fertilizers, food, personal care, pharmaceuticals and water treatment.

Watch both video’s and see a real-life example of how our rights are slowly being taken away by the powers that be.

 

How can we as Americans even pretend to call ourselves FREE when we
can’t even make our own health, lifestyle, and food choices?
 

 

Free? Free to what?

The Nevada Health District raided an organic farm event and forced
them to destroy all the good, healthy, organic farm because…
Well, that’s not really clear.

Check out this video as Brian Hyde describes the ridiculous raid…

As a follow-up to yesterday’s video on the raid of an organic farm
event, we have today footage of the raid and some reactions of
people participating in the ‘Farm to Fork’ event.

Watch this video and witness the arrogance with which this little
bureaucrat strips these people of there right to their own food
choices…
