Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a very special lecture some years ago, the concept of "thin places" was introduced to me. Thin poems describe people, places or experiences where boundaries between the spirit world and the secular or material world are more transparent. This transparency, or "thinness", enables a greater perception of spiritual matters, an encounter with God, a more spiritual approach to life. Thin places is a term that was given to sacred space, originally associated with Celtic Christians in the late Fifth Century. This book is organized into two thematic areas: Thin Places and Thin Experiences. Thin places can be found through travel, work, neighborhoods, nature and families. Thin experiences can be found through health, dreams, memories, spirituality and people. The title of the book comes from a self-label that evolved during a journey with cancer. The Author identifies himself with being a gentle warrior, one who strives for peace, harmony and balance. He hopes that readers will find these poems inspiring, comforting and useful.

Download or read book Pregnancy and Fluoride Do Not Mix written by John MacArthur and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extensive scientific evidence gathered in this volume reinforces why we can no longer ignore the fact that in fluoridated communities, babies in the womb are being exposed to fluoride levels above safety thresholds established for young children. When a pregnant woman consumes fluoride, so does her baby. With every three cups of optimally fluoridated tap water a mother drinks, she consumes 0.5 mg of fluoride. Fetal fluoride levels average two-thirds of maternal levels, so her baby in the womb receives about 0.3 mg of fluoride. If a baby weighing less than six pounds receives 0.3 mg of fluoride in one day, this dosage exceeds its "Tolerable Upper Intake Level," beyond which "the risk of adverse effects increases." (Institute of Medicine, 1997) If a child 3 to 6 years old swallows more than 0.25 mg of fluoride in a pea-sized dab of toothpaste, the most that should be used for brushing, parents are warned to: "Get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away." (FDA, 1997) "The immature nervous system of an embryo or fetus is even more vulnerable to toxic exposures than is that of an infant." - National Scientific Council on the Developing Child (2009) A team of researchers at the EPA found "substantial evidence" that fluoride is a "developmental neurotoxicant" in the same category with alcohol, chlorpyrifos, lead, mercury, and nicotine. (Neurotoxicology Division, 2009) This is just the tip of the iceberg. Pregnancy and Fluoride Do Not Mix explores the iceberg and explains the numerous biological mechanisms linking prenatal fluoride and adverse pregnancy complications for mother and child. Four years in the making, this concise yet well-documented volume (300 references, mostly PubMed) includes MacArthur's three comprehensive reports published by the Townsend Letter: The Examiner of Alternative Medicine: Fluoride, Premature Birth and Impaired Neurodevelopment A global review of recent laboratory, clinical, and ecological evidence that fluoride is a significant risk factor for premature birth and long-term neurological disabilities in children. Placental Fluorosis: Fluoride and Preeclampsia Recent research and diverse evidence implicate fluoride and fluorosis in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, the dangerous pregnancy complication caused by the abnormal placenta. Prenatal Fluoride and Autism Fluoride swallowed in amniotic fluid may disrupt colonization and composition of bacteria in the fetal microbiome and adversely affect neurological and immunological development. Inform and hold accountable those responsible for adding fluoride to your drinking water. Legislators and health professionals must no longer have an excuse to promote, condone, or ignore the dangers of fluoridation. To knowingly overexpose our most vulnerable children to a developmental neurotoxicant is unforgivable.

Download or read book Studies on the Dietary Intake of Fluoride and the Concentration of Fluoride in Urine Over the Course of Pregnancy written by Gina Alejandra Castiblanco Rubio and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of maternal urinary fluoride as a biomarker of prenatal fluoride exposure in epidemiology studies is increasing. However, the knowledge on maternal exposure to fluoride and its biomarkers, has not increased alongside. The objective of this dissertation was to improve our understanding of the dietary intake of fluoride (a major source of fluoride exposure), and spot urinary fluoride levels during pregnancy. Two secondary data analyses utilizing data from the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to ENvironmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) project were conducted, in a population of women living in a salt-fluoridated community. The first study estimated the dietary intake of fluoride over the course of pregnancy and assessed the influence of compliance with the dietary recommendations of intake of beneficial nutrients for pregnancy (calcium, iron, folate and protein) on the dietary intake of fluoride. The second study compared spot urinary fluoride in women during pregnancy and non-pregnancy (using one-year postpartum as a proxy for the non-pregnant state) and assessed associations between dietary factors (dietary fluoride intake, addition of table salt, calcium intake from diet and supplements, and dietary acid load) and urinary fluoride levels at each state. Results revealed that the median dietary intake of fluoride in pregnant women was 0.7 mg/day, increased with gestational age and in women who were moderately and highly compliant with recommendations of intake of beneficial nutrients for pregnancy. On the other hand, spot urinary fluoride levels during pregnancy did not significantly differ with those of women one-year postpartum, increased with gestational age, and decreased in calcium-supplemented women only during pregnancy. The dietary intake of fluoride, calcium, and dietary acid load were not associated with urinary fluoride in either state. Finally, reporting the addition of table salt to meals was associated with an increase in urinary fluoride only at one-year postpartum. The studies in this dissertation highlight the need for a deeper understanding of fluoride exposure and its biomarkers in the pregnant population.

Download or read book Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium Phosphorus Magnesium Vitamin D and Fluoride written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-10-17 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1941, Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) has been recognized as the most authoritative source of information on nutrient levels for healthy people. Since publication of the 10th edition in 1989, there has been rising awareness of the impact of nutrition on chronic disease. In light of new research findings and a growing public focus on nutrition and health, the expert panel responsible for formulation RDAs reviewed and expanded its approachâ€"the result: Dietary Reference Intakes. This new series of references greatly extends the scope and application of previous nutrient guidelines. For each nutrient the book presents what is known about how the nutrient functions in the human body, what the best method is to determine its requirements, which factors (caffeine or exercise, for example) may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease. The first volume of Dietary Reference Intakes includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride. The second book in the series presents information about thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, biotin, and choline. Based on analysis of nutrient metabolism in humans and data on intakes in the U.S. population, the committee recommends intakes for each age groupâ€"from the first days of life through childhood, sexual maturity, midlife, and the later years. Recommendations for pregnancy and lactation also are made, and the book identifies when intake of a nutrient may be too much. Representing a new paradigm for the nutrition community, Dietary Reference Intakes encompasses: Estimated Average Requirements (EARs). These are used to set Recommended Dietary Allowances. Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). Intakes that meet the RDA are likely to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all individuals in a life-stage and gender group. Adequate Intakes (AIs). These are used instead of RDAs when an EAR cannot be calculated. Both the RDA and the AI may be used as goals for individual intake. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs). Intakes below the UL are unlikely to pose risks of adverse health effects in healthy people. This new framework encompasses both essential nutrients and other food components thought to pay a role in health, such as dietary fiber. It incorporates functional endpoints and examines the relationship between dose and response in determining adequacy and the hazards of excess intake for each nutrient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For when you need the facts—not fear—about what food, drinks, activities, and procedures you should avoid during each month of your pregnancy. Over the years, Dr. Elisabeth Aron has soothed the worries of many soon-to-be moms who have come to her with questions such as: • Can I exercise during my first trimester? • Is canned tuna safe to eat throughout my pregnancy? • Do self-tanners contain chemicals I should be worried about? • I have to fly for work during my second trimester. Is this safe? • Is cookie-dough ice cream safe to eat? • Can I wear an underwire bra during my pregnancy? • I’m six months pregnant. Is it alright for me to have a glycolic peel facial? • Are peanuts safe to eat or will my baby develop a peanut allergy if I eat too many? • There is a lot of chlorine in my health club’s pool. Is that a good or bad thing? Pregnancy Do's and Don'ts includes hundreds of entries on possible concerns—from apple cider to zinc and everything in between. In each entry, Dr. Aron identifies the item, the possible cause for concern, and explains the bottom line—whether it is something a woman should avoid completely, something to take a better-safe-than-sorry approach toward, or something that is perfectly fine.

Download or read book Prenatal Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in a National Birth Cohort written by Rivka Ruth Green and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The potential neurotoxicity of exposure to fluoride, which has sparked controversy about community water fluoridation, is poorly understood. Objective: To test the association between prenatal fluoride exposure and childhood IQ in 512 Canadian mother-child pairs. Methods: We measured fetal exposure to fluoride using: (a) maternal urinary fluoride (MUF) during pregnancy; (b) fluoride concentration in water; and (c) fluoride intake estimated from beverage consumption. We evaluated childrens IQ using the Wechsler Primary and Preschool Scale of Intelligence-III. Multiple linear regression analyses examined covariate-adjusted associations between fluoride predictors and IQ. Results: Higher MUF levels predicted lower IQ in males (B=-4.49, p=.02) but not females. Higher levels of water fluoride and fluoride intake predicted a main effect of diminished IQ. Conclusion: Exposure to fluoride during fetal development is associated with lower IQ scores. These findings, which suggest that fluoride is neurotoxic, underscore the need to critically evaluate the practice of water fluoridation.

Download or read book Fluoride in Drinking Water written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people associate fluoride with the practice of intentionally adding fluoride to public drinking water supplies for the prevention of tooth decay. However, fluoride can also enter public water systems from natural sources, including runoff from the weathering of fluoride-containing rocks and soils and leaching from soil into groundwater. Fluoride pollution from various industrial emissions can also contaminate water supplies. In a few areas of the United States fluoride concentrations in water are much higher than normal, mostly from natural sources. Fluoride is one of the drinking water contaminants regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because it can occur at these toxic levels. In 1986, the EPA established a maximum allowable concentration for fluoride in drinking water of 4 milligrams per liter, a guideline designed to prevent the public from being exposed to harmful levels of fluoride. Fluoride in Drinking Water reviews research on various health effects from exposure to fluoride, including studies conducted in the last 10 years.

This book was released on 2000-07-26 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutrition and Health series of books have, as an overriding mission, to provide health professionals with texts that are considered essential because each includes 1) a synthesis of the state of the science, 2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields, 3) extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists, 4) a detailed index, 5) relevant tables and figures, 6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences, 7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter referrals, 8) suggestions of areas for future research, and 9) bal anced, data-driven answers to patient questions which are based upon the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose trainings are both research and practice oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objec tive for their book; define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authorities from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research and relate the research findings to potential human health consequences.
