Organic Hawaiian Grown Spirulina $30 per Bottle Hol- Life Network
Network 1317 N. Wilson ave. Prichard Ala. 36610. Did You Know these Facts Concerning your Water? 1.) Most Municipal Water Systems utilize Lead Piping Systems that haven"t been changed for Decades. And Lead exposure has been linked to Altimiers and other Brain ailments. 2.) Recent Studies have determined that there are some 35,000 Pesticides affecting our Water, with some 600 Chemical Compounds, and Municipal Water Systems are only required to test for six. Many of these Chemicals are known to cause Birth Defects, Nerve Damage, Sterility, and Cancer. 3.) According to a recent General Accounting Office Report, only 20% of the Nation"s 65,000 Community Water Systems are able to meet Minimum standards set by the "Safe Drinking Water Act." 4.) That the Cryptospirilium Outbreak in Milwaukee in the 1990"s, which was found in the Tap Water and caused several s, was from the same Municipal Water System where frogs were discovered, having multiple heads, and other deformities. 5.) Most Tap Water Systems in the US are known to contain Traces of Prescription , including Antibiotics, Anti-Convulsants, Psychiatric and Sterilization . 6.)Chlorine used in Municipal Treatment Systems, is the same as found in Commercial Bleach. 7.) Most Tap Water in the US contains Flouride, a Poison which the Canadian Dental Association advises is harmful to children"s teeth. 8.) Flo ed Tap Water contains "Sodium Flouride" an ingredient used in Rat Poison. 9.)Most of the Flouride ( Flouosilicic Acid) used to Flo e US Water Systems comes from the Fertilizer Industry and may contain Trace amounts of various Heavy Metals such as Lead, Mercury, and Arsenic. 10.) The only States where less than 25% of the Tap Water is Flourideded are Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Montana, and New Jersey. How Bottled Water increases our Energy Costs Some people believe that Bottled Water offers a viable alternative. Yet recent studies suggests that over 70% of so-called Bottled water is really Tap Water. Also Plastic Bottled Water utilizes a chemical called "Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), the manufacturing of which requires a combination of Natural Gas, and Petroleum. It takes more than 17 Million Barrels of Oil Annually to create enough Plastic to meet America"s demand for Bottled Water. That"s enough to fuel more than 1 Million cars in the US for a full year. Transportation Costs associated with moving Bottled Water to the Consumer create an additional Energy burden. And even more Oil is utilized to recycle Bottles. According to research produced by the Beverage Marketing Corp. American consumption of Bottled Water has jumped over 30% from 1976- 2007. And it is no coincidence that our gas prices have increased along with our consumption of bottled water. And in the end it is estimated that only 15-20% of the plastic bottles get recycled, the majority of which ends up in Land fills, and then back in the Ocean, further polluting our Enviornment. In-Home Water Filtration offers the only viable Alternative to Contaminated Water Many Department, and Home Improvement Stores currently offer standard Water Filtering Systems which generally take your Tap water through either one or two stages of Filtration. This method however leaves a considerable amount of the Dangerous chemicals, lead, and pesticides in your water. Why Reverse Osmosis offers the best method of In-Home Filtration Unlike other methods of Filtration, our Reverse Osmosis Systems take your Drinking Water through 5 Stages of Filtration. 2 Carbon Filters, 1 Sediment Filter, 1 Reverse Osmosis Filter, and 1 Post Filter. This inturn reaches Contaminants that the other Filters miss, like Flouride, Chlorine, Prescription , Viruses, Heavy Metals, and Arsenic. We currently have an 8- Stage Water Filtration System that Purifies, Filters, and Mineralizes your water since there are many Minerals you can only get from water. Infact this system actuallly takes your water through the same stages it goes through in Nature to became Spring Water, from carbon , through active rocks, sand and gravel, as well as Magnets for Reverse Osmosis. These filters retail from $175-$200 , however if you are ineterested in selling Filters you can get them for as little as $125 plus shipping. The Network was founded in Washington DC in Dec. 2000 by Min. Shakna Biddle. After entering Howard University"s, African Studies and Research Program in 1980, he became interested in researching the links between Contaminated Water, and Holistic Health in Sub-Saharan Africa. He has worked on several World Bank Projects under his advisor, Dr. Berket Selassie ( Ethiopia"s former Attorney General), projects designed to link Clean Water Projects to Soil Fertility in West Africa. Travelled extensively in West Africa (Senegal, Guinea, Mali) studying both Traditional Medicine, and Water Purification techniques. After completing five years of Graduate Studies, he began to practice Natural Medicine, in the DC area, using mainly Lake based Algaes like Spirulina . Using a combination of Spirulina, pure water, and Internal Detoxification, Clients were able to reverse symptoms like HIV, Cancers, and Influenza. He has worked on numerous Clean Water Projects throughout the US and West Africa over the past 20 years. Currently Min. Biddle is working in conjunction with Village Volunteers ( see www.Villagevolunteers.org) and the UN Small Development Program on a Water Purification Project in Ashanti Ghana. What can I do to Help? Your purchase of an Reverse Osmosis Filtration system will not only reduce your expence on Bottled Water, provide yourself and your family with Purified Drinking Water, but you will be helping us to provide Solar Pumps ( beginning in Ghana) so that Village children who currently have to walk over 3 miles to reach drinkable water can have access to safe water in their own Village. According to a recent UN Human Development Report, "For every child in Africa who dies from Unsanitary Water conditions, Millions more will fall sick or miss school, trapped in a viscious circle that links poor Health in childhood to poverty in hood....they die because of where they live. More than 1 Billion people lack access to improved Sanitation. Disease Transmitted through Water is the second leading cause of , among children Worldwide." And according to the US House Foriegn Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, "Africa is one of the most water impoverished Regions.....and the lack of Clean Water claims the lives of 4,900 children every day." President Obama has dedicated himself to developing Clean Water Systems throughout Africa, but he needs our Help. To Learn more about the "World"s Richest Food", i.e. Spirulina, the only food that the UN has established an entire Agency around, ( Micro-Algae Spirulina Agency against Malnutrition in Africa).

Facts About Spirulina- Worlds Most Powerful Food Submitted by adda on Thu, 05/21/2009 - 06:16 Spirulina is a blue-green alga which is believed to be the first form of plant life on earth (nearly 3.5 billion years old). Since its rediscovery in the 1960's, Spirulina has been exhaustively and extensively tested by scientists around the world. And has proved to be the most powerful and well-balanced source of nutrition on the planet. Keywords: spirulina, foods, natural food supplements, herbal dietary supplements, anti ageing herbs,spirulina capsules Article Body: Spirulina is a blue-green alga which is believed to be the first form of plant life on earth (nearly 3.5 billion years old). Since its rediscovery in the 1960's, Spirulina has been exhaustively and extensively tested by scientists around the world. And has proved to be the most powerful and well-balanced source of nutrition on the planet. Upon testing it, NASA found it to be an excellent, compact space food for astronauts (1 kg. of Spirulina is equivalent to 1000 kgs. of assorted vegetables). International health organisations have hailed Spirulina as one of the "Greatest Superfoods on Earth". An ideal food supplement, Sunova Spirulina provides the body with all the essential nutrients required daily, leaving you fresh, active and energetic through out the day. 100 times more Vitamin A than carrots ! Spirulina is the world's richest natural source of Beta-Carotene (Pro Vitamin A), which helps to improve eye sight. 6 times more protein than eggs ! Spirulina has a very high natural protein content (upto 70%). This protein is a called complete since it has 18 of the 22 amino acids that the body needs and being organic in form, has very high digestibility ( upto 97% ). This ensures proper utilisation & assimilation of the food a person eats. 50 times more Iron than Spinach ! Anaemia or iron deficiency is one of the most common health problems of our country. Spirulina's rich content of natural Iron & folic acid helps not only to greatly improve haemoglobin levels in the , but being organic, is 60 times more absorbable than synthetic iron present in most of the haematinics. 7 times more Calcium than milk ! Spirulina is one of the World's richest known sources of natural Calcium which helps build strong bones. 10 times more Potassium than vegetables ! Its Potassium content (upto 10 times more than common vegetables) helps prevent hypertension. One stop shop for 'Anti Oxidants' ! Unstable molecules called "Free Radicals" are generated in every human body as a result of normal metabolic processes. These can lead to ailments like cancer, arthritis, cataracts, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and premature ageing. To combat these free radicals you need 'Anti-Oxidants' like Vitamins A,C & E, Zinc, Selenium, Super Oxide Dismutase. Spirulina is the world's richest and only natural source of all these 'Anti-Oxidants'. Fat deposits in vessels called cholesterol are the reason behind a majority of heart problems. Spirulina has Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which dissolves these fat deposits, thus preventing heart problems. Spirulina is the only known vegetarian source of Vitamin B12 which helps fight stress and calm your nerves. Unique 'Biliproteins' & 'Carotenoids' in Spirulina strengthen the body's immune system against possible infections. Research suggests when Spirulina is taken with anti-cancer , antibiotics and pain , toxic side effects to the kidney can be significantly reduced and shorter recovery times may be possible. Extensive research studies have been carried out around the world. Some of the relevant findings listed here are based on scientific findings: A one year feeding program with 5000 pre-school children showing a symptom of Vit.A deficiency, Bitot's spot, decreased from 80% to 10% after intake of 1 gm Spirulina a day for at least 150 days. Another study with 400 school children suggests Spirulina as an alternate to pure Vitamin A therapy. In a 1991 study in Belarus, 11 49 undernourished and radiation poisoned children were fed with Spirulina. Within 45 days, doctors found T-cell suppressors and beneficial hormones rising, and in 83% of the children radioactivity of the decreased. In 1989, the National Cancer Institute (NCA-USA) announced that chemicals called glycolipids or sulfolipids from blue-green algae were "remarkably active" against the AIDS virus.

U.S. EPA sets standards for approximately 90 contaminants in drinking water. Contaminants are categorized as below and more detailed information on specific contaminants is also available. Microbes ~ Radionuclides ~ Inorganics ~ Volatile Organics ~ Disinfectants ~ Disinfection Byproducts ~ MTBE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microbes Coliform bacteria are common in the environment and are generally not harmful. However, the presence of these bacteria in drinking water is usually a result of a problem with the treatment system or the pipes which distribute water, and indicates that the water may be contaminated with germs that can cause disease. Fecal Coliform and E coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste. It causes cryptosporidiosis, a mild gastrointestinal disease. However, the disease can be severe or for people with severely weakened immune systems. EPA and CDC have prepared advice for those with severely compromised immune systems who are concerned about Cryptosporidium. Giardia lamblia is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste. It causes gastrointestinal illness (e.g. diarrhea, vomiting, cramps). Radionuclides Alpha emitters. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of EPA's standard over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Beta/photon emitters. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta radiation. Some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of EPA's standard over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Combined Radium 226/228. Some people who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of EPA's standard over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radon gas can dissolve and accumulate in underground water sources, such as wells, and in the air in your home. Breathing radon can cause lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon presents a risk of developing cancer. Radon in air is more dangerous than radon in water. Inorganic Contaminants Antimony Asbestos Barium Beryllium Cadmium Chromium Copper Cyanide Lead Mercury Nitrate/Nitrite Selenium Thallium Arsenic. Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of EPA's standard over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Fluoride. Many communities add fluoride to their drinking water to promote dental health. Each community makes its own decision about whether or not to add fluoride. EPA has set an enforceable drinking water standard for fluoride of 4 mg/L (some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of this level over many years could get bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones). EPA has also set a secondary fluoride standard of 2 mg/L to protect against dental fluorosis. Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should not drink water that has more than 2 mg/L of fluoride. Lead typically leaches into water from plumbing in older buildings. Lead pipes and plumbing fittings have been banned since August 1998. Children and pregnant women are most susceptible to lead health risks. For advice on avoiding lead, see the how to remove lead in your drinking water fact sheet prepared by EPA. Volatile Organic Contaminants (VOCs) Benzene Carbon Tetrachloride Chlorobenzene o-Dichlorobenzene** p-Dichlorobenzene 1,1-Dichloroethylene cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene trans-1,2-Dicholoroethylene Dichloromethane 1,2-Dichloroethane 1,2-Dichloropropane Ethylbenzene Styrene Tetrachloroethylene 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane 1,1,2-Trichloroethane Trichloroethylene Toluene Vinyl Chloride Xylenes Disinfectants Many water suppliers add a disinfectant to drinking water to kill germs such as giardia and e coli. Especially after heavy rainstorms, your water system may add more disinfectant to guarantee that these germs are killed. Chlorine. Some people who use drinking water containing chlorine well in excess of EPA's standard could experience irritating effects to their eyes and nose. Some people who drink water containing chlorine well in excess of EPA's standard could experience stomach discomfort. Chloramine. Some people who use drinking water containing chloramines well in excess of EPA's standard could experience irritating effects to their eyes and nose. Some people who drink water containing chloramines well in excess of EPA's standard could experience stomach discomfort or anemia. Chlorine Dioxide. Some infants and young children who drink water containing chlorine dioxide in excess of EPA's standard could experience nervous system effects. Similar effects may occur in fetuses of pregnant women who drink water containing chlorine dioxide in excess of EPA's standard. Some people may experience anemia. Disinfection Byproducts Disinfection byproducts form when disinfectants added to drinking water to kill germs react with naturally-occuring organic matter in water. Total Trihalomethanes. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of EPA's standard over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Haloacetic Acids. Some people who drink water containing haloacetic acids in excess of EPA's standard over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Bromate. Some people who drink water containing bromate in excess of EPA's standard over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Chlorite. Some infants and young children who drink water containing chlorite in excess of EPA's standard could experience nervous system effects. Similar effects may occur in fetuses of pregnant women who drink water containing chlorite in excess of EPA's standard. Some people may experience anemia. MTBE MTBE is a fuel additive, commonly used in the United States to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone levels caused by auto emissions. Due to its widespread use, reports of MTBE detections in the nation's ground and surface water supplies are increasing. The Office of Water and other EPA offices are working with a panel of leading experts to focus on issues posed by the continued use of MTBE and other oxygenates in gasoline. EPA is currently studying the implications of setting a drinking water standard for MTBE.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants
