Toxic Chemicals in the Blood

Yes we are in Australia but this is a chilling reminder of the toxic load we are carrying around - and you can be sure it is not only in Canada that this is happening.
And some reports would have you believe that detoxing is an unnecessary and useless exercise. Why then when I do a detox program does my head feel clear and my body light and energetic?
Canadian Politicians Found to carry toxic chemical soup.

Start by reading labels, we can't eat numbers! Then choose organic whenever possible, juice on a regular basis - the Compact Juicer makes a great addition to your kitchen and will help you to implement a healthy drink on a daily basis which will alkalise and assist your body to detoxify.

How the Cost of the Iraq War COULD have been spent!

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz puts the total cost at more than $2 trillion — but let's be conservative and say it's only $1 trillion (in today's dollars).

Imagine for a moment what could have been done with that money. How many people could have been fed? How many clean sources of water could have been found for those who have none.
Almost two in three people lacking access to clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one in three living on less than $1 a day.
Look at some of these statistics and then consider the enormity of the misdirection that is occurring here on planet earth today!
Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.

Take every opportunity you can to show our 'leaders' where we want our money spent.
