Why Every Parent Should Consider Unschooling By Carolanne Wright Contributing Writer for Wake Up World Gillian Lynne. Maybe you’ve heard of her? She’s the choreographer who did Cats and Phantom of the Opera. Chelation Chelation describes a particular way that ions and molecules bind metal ions.[1] According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), chelation involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) ligand and a single central atom.[2] Usually these ligands are organic compounds, and are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents, or sequestering agents. Chelation is useful in applications such as providing nutritional supplements, in chelation therapy to remove toxic metals from the body, as contrast agents in MRI scanning, in manufacturing using homogeneous catalysts, and in fertilizers. Chelate effect[edit] The chelate effect describes the enhanced affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion compared to the affinity of a collection of similar nonchelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal.

Environmental Biology Sequence - Ecosystems Overview Roles of Organisms Energy Flow Through Ecosystems The Astonishing Success of Fleet Farming: Breaking New Ground in the "Food Not Lawns" Movement July 31st, 2017 By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World 6 Foods for Natural Heavy Metal Chelation Heavy metals can do significant damage to the body. Historically, they’ve been used as “an instrument of murder” (in the case of arsenic) and instruments of war. But most people who are exposed to heavy metals in today’s times are through their food, water, vaccines, or the air around them. The good news is that there are natural ways to chelate heavy metals from your body.

Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan - Prevention and Population Health - Department of Health and Human Services On 1 September 2015 the Minister for Health released the government’s Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2015–2019. The Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 requires the Minister for Health to prepare a State public health and wellbeing plan every four years from September 2011. The vision of the Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2015-2019 is for a Victoria free of the avoidable burden of disease and injury so that all Victorians can enjoy the highest attainable standards of health and wellbeing at every age. The Victorian public health and wellbeing plan 2015-2019 outlines the government’s key priorities over the next four years to improve the health and wellbeing of all Victorians, particularly the most disadvantaged. As many chronic disease and injuries are preventable, the plan focuses on encouraging healthy living from the early years and all throughout life.

Jackfruit: Can This Nutritional Powerhouse Prevent Widespread Famine? 3rd July 2016 By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World Unlike the United States — where self-sufficiency and food security is persecuted — the government of Venezuela is pushing its population to grow urban gardens and raise chickens in response to severe food shortages. Chelation: Therapy or "Therapy"? Lead, mercury, and arsenic serve no function in the human body. If they accumulate in large enough amounts, they cause poisoning. Other metals which are essential to human function can become toxic if they accumulate in large amounts; examples include iron and copper. Effects differ according to the metal involved, whether it is introduced into the body by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact, and the age of the victim. People with very high levels of these heavy metals are treated with drugs called "chelators" [KEY-lay-ters].

This tiny piece of paper can keep fruits and vegetables fresh 2 to 4 times longer. This small sheet of paper could help remove one of the biggest obstacles to getting fresh food to those who need it most. All photos via Fenugreen, used with permission. It's called FreshPaper, and according to inventor Kavita Shukla, it preserves fruit and vegetables two to four times longer than conventional storage methods. Shukla came up with the idea when she was 12 years old while visiting her grandmother in India. Who is Michael Tellinger?

Mercury Toxicity and Systemic Elimination Agents – Information and Sources The following paper has been a long time in the making. I first wrote it nearly three years ago and it was initially rejected by the Lancet and the British Medical Journal but was published last month in the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (March 2001). The end of the article has the bibliography which took quite awhile to compile and has 124 of the best literature documentation I could find on mercury detoxification. For a practical summary of the paper and exactly what one should do, please review my mercury detoxification protocol. Dr. Health Jobs The Department of Health has a diverse set of responsibilities, but throughout there is a common purpose, which is reflected in our Vision.

We commit to making a difference by: building leadership at all levels thinking strategically and making evidence based choices strengthening our key relationships embedding innovation in our work managing cost and invest in long term sustainability We need capable and motivated people working with us to make this happen.

Environmental Working Group has provided research, statistical reports and presentations, reporting, and suggestions for personal activities advocating ethical and ecological life on Earth for decades. EWG.org offers news, articles, blogs, original research, data compilation (often in the form of consumer guides), apps, and petitions as well as other opportunities to further environmental causes (including of course many means to donate support) in these critical areas of concern: WATER, FOOD, AGRICULTURE, CONSUMER PRODUCTS (emphasizing body care and household use products), TOXIC CHEMICALS, ENERGY, POLICY, and LEGISLATION. Knowledge enables better decisions and actions. Live long and prosper. by mojojuju Jan 31
