Welcome Message By The Cofounder
“Rest is the cheapest and most easily implemented factors for good health. Embrace it daily and weekly because your body needs it.” Jenny Berkeley The June issue was a wonderful success. We are thankful for the positive feedback we have received. This in part makes this all the more worthwhile. The theme of this July issue is toxins in and around us. Naturally this topic is too broad to cover in a few short pages of our eZine. However, we have tried to touch on some of the highlights that will help you in your day to day living. Also, we are always in the mindset of sustainable living and our article on rain water speaks to that philosophy. You can see the video content on our blog by clicking on the link at the end of the article or clicking on the media rich icon. We strive to make each issue a little bit better than the last one. To this end, I could like to encourage you to participate by sending in your stories, jokes, or any insightful pieces for consideration. While enjoying summer in Toronto, remember to not waste water, tend your healthy veggie garden, take a few nature walks and live life with the simply joy that promotes good health. Enjoy the eZine. Peace and we well.

Drugs Have No Side Effects If you have seen drug advertisements in the US, you‟ll see they quickly zoom through the list of side effects for the advertised drug. Your doctor may advise you about side effects of the drugs you are prescribed. Let‟s explore why I say, drugs have no side effects.
Is Your Home A Toxic Home? Many homes are a virtual toxic zone. Yet because people aren‟t deathly ill, they ignore the ways they add to the toxicity of their homes. This article will explore some ways your home is toxic to you.
Toxins in Your Personal Care Products There are some personal care products which are simply not as good for your body as you think. We‟ll begin to explore the Personal Care products in this article.

And in the deep countryside, my husband‟s grandmother who lived on a rural farm, collected rainwater for drinking, cooking and bathing. This was in the mid 80s not some ancient time. Rain water collection and use can be a viable solution to our water wastage problem.

elements. It allows you to store the items you collect as you go through life. It also allows you to create sweet memories with your spouse, parents, and children. Husbands and wives spend time mowing their lawns to manicured perfection. They
remove junk from their yards. They do landscaping to shape look and feel of their property. A lot of time and effort goes into making the property a place that the entire family can really get attached to. The old saying, my home is my castle seems like the right idea. But could

EternityWatch Toxic Home from Pg. 9 your home be toxic? Could some of the items inside your home be making you and your loved ones sick over time? With all the attention paid to the external face of the property and some on the internal, could homeowners be missing out on something? We‟ll look at these and other important questions on this issue in this article. The Hidden Issue There are toxins secretly lurking in your homes and most of you don‟t even recognise the dangers to your health. Most people have a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector in their homes to warm of the risk of these toxic gases. But many Canadians and people across the world routinely bring harmful chemical substances

Paints contain VOCs
Bed sheets washed in chemical washing detergents
Mattress contains fire retardant and other synthetic chemicals

Carpet has formaldehyde in glue
into their homes for general use. In fact, many household cleaning products in the home contain harmful and toxic chemicals. However, in general, people‟s perception is that many of these cleaning products are safe and natural. Some estimates are that Canadians spend over $275 million on cleaning products annually. The manufacturers of cleaning solutions get consumers to purchase by appealing to the fear of danger to their children and their desire to keep kids safe from germs. Cathy Cooper, Environmental Law Agency, finds that the lack of information about chronic toxicity of these cleaning products is disturbing. With all that money at risk, it‟s no

wander that North American consumers are kept in the dark. Larry Stoffman of the Labour Environment Alliance Society, indicates that consumers are all too often unaware of the chemical toxicity of their cleaning products and the potential harm of children and adults being exposed to even tiny amounts of these chemical particles. He makes a very good point that if Canadians had the same labelling laws as Europe consumers would know exactly what‟s in those products. If you had the choice between choosing product A which contains carcinogens (cancer causing items) or product B which has none, you, the consumer would choose product B. Thus over time the market would drive manufacturers

Feedback About Jenny “Sproutqueen� Berkeley I found her professional background informative and very interesting and I think her medical training definitely helps to add validation to her new passion of helping educate the public about maintaining a healthy body. There are so many "experts" out there who profess to be knowledgeable about health & nutrition but they lack a professional background of medical training to help validate their claim. Jenny is well educated in the conventional medical field and knows very well what is lacking in our health care system. It is refreshing to see someone step out of the arena of conventional medicine and convey what is truly missing. Her belief that it's back to the basics, naturally, and without pharmaceutical intervention is certainly welcomed. S.R. via email

Finally, you have your outdoor pool with city water plus the added chlorine you use. The concrete in your yard is coated with a chemical sealant as is the tar driveway. The Solution Is Possible In consultation with my clients, the first thing I would recommend is to do an assessment of the items which my client purchases for home use. We would take a look at everything they purchase on their grocery list. These items are the easiest to eliminate once you link them to toxins. Once you have made the decision to eliminate the toxic cleaning solutions, you need to finds suitable replacements.

I like Dr. Bronner‟s all purpose soap because it can be used for so many purposes and its very well rated by the cosmeticdatabse.com site. There are also natural cleaning solutions you can buy for use in your home or even make your own cleaning solution. The process takes some time to implement and become a habit but once established, it makes all the difference going forward in your lifespan. Next we would look at more involved items around the home such as the kitchenware, the type of water used, the type

Toxic
Personal Care Products By Jenny Berkeley, RN, Health Educator
How many of you realize that the seemingly harmless lip gloss, you or your child is using on your lips might contain a plethora of harmful chemicals? Perhaps you are unaware of the potential toxins in your underarm product or your toothpaste. In fact, there are thousands of chemicals that interact with your body and they are insidiously finding themselves into your body. You need to understand why this is so important. Personal care products, otherwise known as beauty products or cosmetic products, are known to contain over 10,500 chemical ingredients. I should say that I would include household personal care products such as soaps, toothpastes, powders, oils, and household cleaning solutions in the list of sources of chemical pollutants. Understand that toxins are es-

and is very porous, allowing over 70% of what is applied to the skin to seep into our bodies and into our bloodstream. Through clinical studies, it has been proven that the very same toxins found in a motherâ€&#x;s blood have been found in the umbilical cord of the fetus. Many of the toxic (poison) ingredients used are carcinogenic and can be linked to cancer as well as

EternityWatch respiratory problems in infants, birth defects, liver and kidney disease, etc. If you are truly interested in living a healthy, ecofriendly and sustainable lifestyle then all aspects of your lifestyle should be examined. Personal care products are no exception. In May of this year, it was reported that Finnish authorities seized a load of toxic „beauty‟ products. Among the chemicals seized was Botox. It seems the items were improperly labelled and this caught the attention of authorities. Here‟s what the articles mentions about the popular Botox, The most well-known chemical discovered was Botox, which is made up from the strong neurotoxin botulin. The substance, which is widely used in the beauty industry to paralyse wrinkle-causing nerves in the face, can lead to serious allergic reactions, according to the Finnish Medicines Agency FIMEA. Other side effects include drowsiness, tired eyes and headaches, as well as problems with swallowing and eyesight. Proctor & Gamble recently agreed to reformulate Herbal Essences shampoo to reduce 1,4 dioxane, a cancer-causing petrochemical. But this news is on the heels of new product tests which revealed high levels of 1,4 dioxane in Proctor & Gamble laundry soaps Tide, Ivory Snow and Cheer. Tests by the FDA and the Campaign
for Safe Cosmetics also found higher levels of lead in Cover Girl lipsticks than many other brands. So as a health minded consumer, you need to be very careful about the products you use around your home.

But it was interesting to note that many of the chemicals used in the home were in fact labelled as biohazards or chemical hazards when found in the workplace. It is as if the manufacturers of toxic home care products would like you to believe that they magically become harmless in the 2L bottle. Amazingly Some People Refuse To Hear There are many celebrities that would argue that all this health concern is overblown. There are even some medical professionals who believe that these personal care products (pcp‟s) in use by consumers are safe. There may even be some ordinary people who at this moment have their eyes closed to the fact that many pcp‟s contain chemicals that were not intended to become part of our natural bodies. If you try to speak to these individuals, they get their backs up and immediately go on the defensive. Their first strategy is to completely deny that facts as fearmongering or make believe.
I might take the time to mention Dr. Oz‟s finding on how lip gloss is not exactly healthy. Petroleum jelly is a by-product of oil drilling, and when you spread the petroleum jelly on your lips, you and your kissing partner end up eating it. Dr. Oz compares it to almost the same as drinking gasoline. Dr. Oz also mentions mineral makeup contains tiny particles which can be inhaled into your lungs.

Drugs Have No
Side Effects By Jenny Berkeley, RN, Health Educator
I am writing this article because many people have become accustomed to the use of the words side effects in respect to drugs. Occasionally I vacation in the USA and am always amazed by the way the American pharmaceutical companies advertise their products. The ads are no doubt well structured to achieve their desired intent of creating curiosity
or even desire in the mind of the potential user. However, what fascinates me is the trailing list of side effects. Sometimes the list is spoken quickly by the narrator and other times it is flashed across the bottom of the screen in an instant. The only way for a person to know what those side effects are is to record the ad and then play it back in slow motion.
A Eating4Eternity.Org / Durham Raw Food Society Publication
The use of drugs produces various effects on the human body depending on the various factors at work within the system of the body. Hereâ€&#x;s a simple example to illustrate my point about why I say drugs have no side effects. If you take a pebble and toss it into a still lake, the first thing that happens when the pebble enters the lake is that it products a water Page 20
EternityWatch Side Effects from Pg. 20 splash. Water pops up from the point at which the pebble entered the water. The next thing that happens in that a ripple forms around the point where the pebble entered the water. Next the ripple begins to move away from the point of origin and other ripples may also appear.
If we compare this to drugs we can say that the pebble is the drug and the water is the body. It‟s a good analogy since our body is more than 70% water. When the pebble enters the water it produces the primary effect of the splash. When a drug enters our body it produces a primary effect. After the pebble and splash have occurred then we see ripples form in the body of water. With the drugs you also begin to see the other effects of the drugs on the individual. The other effects are not side effects any more than a ripple in a pond is a side effect. Get this point people. It is all an effect. ALL DRUGS HAVE EFFECTS ON THE BODY! There are no side effects. There are only primary and secondary effects on the person. These effects manifest themselves based on the physiPage 21
ALL DRUGS HAVE EFFECTS ON THE BODY. ology of the individual at their current stage in life. To be a knowledgeable and health conscious person, you need to get this terminology straight in your mind. Don‟t buy into the public relations spin on the effects of drugs that has produced effects and side effects. They are all effects. And unfortunately, sometimes it is a crack shoot because medical science cannot predict with utmost certainty which effects will manifest themselves in the patient. So it is up to the patient to know themselves and recognize how everyday things react in their bodies. Because I am a ER nurse and health educator, I interact with all kinds of drugs prescribed by the doctors and I am aware of the “side-effects” of these drugs. Perhaps my mind
July 2010 Edition
is in a different space than ordinary people but patient awareness is to be nurtured. When I look at a drug to be taken I consider the primary effect and all the secondary effects list by the manufacturer. Then I also consider the tertiary effects not listed such as the nutritional deficiencies created by long term use of the medication. Yes, medications do cause nutritional and mineral deficiencies in the body due to prolonged use. And by prolonged used, I mean more than a couple of days. Bottom line is that you need to learn as much as you can about the drugs you put in your system. As I teach my clients and people in the community, I see people eyes open when they finally understand their health in their personal responsibility. I want you to understand too. Peace and be well.

Inspirational Good Health is Your Birthright. Keeping it is your Choice. We own it to ourselves to be educated about health and wellness. Ignorance of anything always comes with a high price. Wake up and take responsibility for your life today!
This week‟s inspiration section is one that is especially touching as it is very sad. I recently saw a story on CNN about a young lady, a mother of three children, who had all her limbs amputated in the hospital just after delivery of her third child. Katy Hayes last remembered giving birth at her Houston-area home on February 10 and then walking up with no limbs. Katy was unconscious the entire time — unaware that a common Group A strep infection had set in, eating away at her body. During her unconscious state while her body struggled to fight what seemed like a loosing battle, Katy‟s husband faced an impossible decision.
He was told that the only way to possibly save his wife was to amputate her limbs and sections of her internal organs. "I decided that I loved her so much that the risk was worth it," Al Hayes said. "And if we came out and I had to spend a lifetime taking care of her that the risk was worth it to say that I didn't give up on her. Right? She's my best friend." This tragedy along with the decision forced upon Al could very well have been avoided if they knew about health and wellness. I have
seen videos of Japanese Doctors treating microbial infections on the flesh with success. Her body was weakened. They were both unaware of health and wellness principles. They probably also never heard of the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. There lives will never be the same. However, their love for each other will keep them comforted with each other. Their church and local community supports them with meals, finances and any other things they need. Love will overcome.

A woman asked me to autograph her Japanese copy of Green for Life. I signed it and returned it to her, she looked concerned. I asked her what was wrong; she pointed to my autograph and asked in her thick Japanese accent "who is this Ro-ve?" I looked at my autograph, which said “from Victoria with Love.” Victoria Boutenko in Japan
Sudoku
They Said That Dr. F. Batmanghelidj was asked to speak at the Gastroenterology Society meeting held in the Armed Forces Hospital at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia in 1988. While there he met the local representative of a major drug company. The rep was curious about why Dr. Batmanghelidj was there. The rep asked if he used his company‟s products or any of the competitors products to treat the patients. Dr. Batmanghelidj replied that he used neither. He used water. The rep was astounded that he used water alone. Dr. Batmanghelidj had two questions for the rep. He asked as their company must be aware of the action of histamines in water regulation, why did they insist that it be blocked. And his second question was why doesn‟t the company explain the water regulation function of histamines to clinicians being asked to block it.
