Organic Food

What is organic food?

The USDA Website says the following: "Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.  Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones.  Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.  Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards.  Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified, too."

Why people eat organic food?

Food Allergies
People can have unknown food allergies related to the chemicals and hormones found in non-organically grown food. The following conditions may be agitated by these substances:
  • Attention Deficit Disorder
  • Mood Disorders
  • Many allergic Re-actions
  • Lack of Energy


  • Missing Nutrients
    Non-Organic food contain less nutrients than most organic foods. Most commercially grown food is grown with chemically based fertilizer containing only a few nutrients. Organic grown food is grown in renewable natural fertilizer that contains around 60 nutrients. The final product of organic food contains more energy and nutrients than chemically grown food.

    Cancer
    Many treatments for cancer both "Medical" and alternative call for a strict organic diets to limit the toxins entering the patients system and to help speed regeneration of healthy cells. The toxins in foods that are not organic can also increase the likely-hood of getting cancer.

    Long Term Health Risks
    The long term health effects from many pesticides and hormones used today are not yet known. It has been said that these substances are so tiny that it is not possible for our bodies to properly filter them out leaving their residues trapped in the body for an unknown length of time. Organic food is grown without pesticides and hormones.
     

      Introduction: What is Ozone?

    Ozone Gas - Natures Cure

        Ozone is a naturally occurring pollutant remover which works similar to the way carbon filters work. You may have used carbon filters to purify water in your sinks, pools, or fish tanks. Similarly, Ozone gas is currently used to purify drinking water.  You can see this for yourself as it is noted on the labels of most bottled water available at most stores. Ozone generators are also available to purify water in your pools and hot tubs. In addition, ozone gas been approved as a disinfectant primarily for restaurant kitchen sanitation because it's more effective than other methods of sterilization.

        Ozone is also used to treat humans who suffer from a variety of illnesses. It has been said that Ozone gas has cured many virus's thought to be incurable. Ozone gas has been used to treat infections as well as to kill cancer. There are many doctors around the United States who currently use Ozone gas to treat patients in their clinics. The primary reason we haven't heard more about the powers of ozone gas is that many people in the medical field see Ozone Therapy as a threat to their income. The pharmaceutical companies are at even greater risk due to the low cost of Ozone Therapy and its long term effectiveness.

    Points of interest:

    Ozone is a gas made up of only Oxygen.

    Ozone is made naturally from ultraviolet (UV) light passing over oxygen molecules.

    Ozone is naturally produced in the "Ozone Layer" where the UV rays from the sun pass through our upper atmosphere changing regular oxygen gas to ozone gas. The Ozone Layer protects us from these same UV rays.

    Technical Details:

         Oxygen is normally found as O2 and this is mostly the oxygen which we breath. This means oxygen atoms are found together in sets of 2. The difference with Ozone is that its structure is O3 and therefore the Oxygen is found in sets of 3 atoms. The extra Oxygen atom is very reactive which means the O3 is looking for something with which to react.  Once it does the O2 will be left as stable once again.

        This means the extra super reactive oxygen in ozone will bond with pollutants in the same way an activated carbon filter does. The benefit of using ozone vs. using carbon filtering is that with carbon filtering you must pass whatever is being filtered through the carbon filter; where as the ozone gas will go out and find pollutants in both the air and room and neutralize them. Ozone can even be dissolved in liquids such as water or even blood, giving Ozone an even wider range of potential uses.
