Kuuntele Naturally Recovering Autism with Karen Thomas

Fluoride has long been promoted as a critical ingredient in the fight against tooth decay. It’s added to public water supplies, found in most commercial toothpastes, and endorsed by many dental organizations. But growing research raises valid concerns about fluoride toxicity—and many health-conscious individuals are choosing to go fluoride-free. In this episode, we’ll break down what the science really says about fluoride, why some experts are calling for caution, and the potential health benefits of switching to fluoride-free products and water. What Is Fluoride, and Why Is It Used? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral known for strengthening enamel and helping prevent cavities. Since the mid-20th century, it’s been added to drinking water and oral care products as a public health measure to reduce tooth decay. But here’s the thing: more fluoride isn’t always better—and studies suggest that long-term exposure can come with unintended health risks. Most of us grew up being told how important and beneficial fluoride is.We were told that it was important for strong teeth. Because of this, it is much harder for most people to accept its downfall. There are over 25 human studies and 100 animal studies connecting fluoride to brain damage and lowered IQ. Several peer-reviewed studies have shown fluoridation to weaken bones. Dental fluorosis is when tooth enamel becomes discolored and is due to fluoride disrupting the enamel during development. However, dentists will often tell us it’s because of poor hygiene. Please recognize that the dangers of fluoride are real. What they did not tell us is that fluoride damages a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which has no blood-brain barrier to protect it. The hippocampus is responsible for emotions, behavior, learning, memory, and spatial awareness. It is the primary part of the brain affected by those with Alzheimer’s.  We absorb fluoride from dental treatments, brushing or rinsing with fluoride, and drinking water with added fluoride. When aluminum and fluoride are combined, as in fluoridated water in an aluminum pan or using fluoride toothpaste from an aluminum container, the toxic effects are heightened. Scientific Concerns About Fluoride Toxicity Neurotoxicity and Cognitive Development   There are two factors of fluoride toxicity that are of greatest concern.The first is genetic damage. Damage to DNA repair enzymes affects the reproductive cells and is inherited by our children...

Learn the benefits of regenerative farming and Eating Organic Regenerative Foods! Proper nutrition can create defenses against toxic impact, including those from heavy metals such as mercury, and assisting in its excretion. Nutrition also protects the nervous system in many ways by keeping cell membranes strong or strengthening weak ones, protecting DNA, improving the production of energy within the cells, and reducing inflammation. Proper nutrition also protects the enzyme systems that detoxify the cells and the liver. What the average person, and the average professional, thinks good nutrition is are often vastly incorrect. Many Americans still think the french fry is a valid, nutritious vegetable and we eat from boxes and cans. A compromised digestive tract does not allow the nutrients from fresh foods to absorb into our cells and fulfill our body’s needs. Read your labels. Know what to look for. Our foods today are poisoned routinely by large manufacturing companies that choose to add ingredients that are chemical in nature. Many of these foods actually make us crave more food.They also contain sugars and toxins that will invade the central nervous system—this means your child’s brain! How we grow, feed, and prepare our food is another issue altogether. Conventional food is grown in soil that is so depleted of nutrients to feed the growing crops that when the crop is mature enough to eat, it lacks sufficient quantities of nutrients. We eat food thinking it is giving us the nutrition we need. Most grains, fruits, and vegetables are genetically modified and are grown in toxic pesticides. Our livestock are fed grains grown in these same pesticides, and they are fed antibiotics and hormones that remain in the meat we eat. This means more toxic overload. Children with autism, ADD, food intolerances, or an improperly working digestive system are already deficient in vital nutrients that their growing brains need. It is never a deficiency of just one nutrient—when one vitamin or mineral is lacking, additional deficiencies develop. These children are usually not absorbing the nutrients from the good foods they eat, and they have a breakdown in the metabolism of nutrients as well. We all need supplementation along with good nutrition, but these children especially do. Another very important aspect is that our food sources are severely depleted of nutrition due to over-use of soils, therefore limiting them of vital nutrients. Seeds for grain are mutated, often to the point that our bodies do not even know how to digest them. These same grains, also laden with chemicals, are given to the animals that we eat, along with hormones that have been ingested and injected. When we put this into our bodies, we not only lack what we need for good nutrition, but we ingest so many chemicals ourselves that we need supplementation to combat the toxicity. The main reason our food today has fewer minerals is that modern farming practices have depleted the soil. Here’s why:..

When it comes to hydration and performance, electrolytes are often mentioned—but not always understood. Many people believe they’re just for athletes or that any sports drink provides them. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. In this episode, we’ll clear up common misconceptions, explain the real benefits of electrolytes, and guide you to the best sources for proper hydration. What Are Electrolytes and Why Are They Important? First, let’s go over just a little bit of science: There are 94 Natural Elements of the periodic table that consist of foundational solid, liquid and gaseous substances referred to as ‘elements’.  From a nutritional perspective, the solid and liquid elements can be divided into “Minerals” and “Trace Elements”. Those elements that chemically dissolve in water become ELECTROLYTES because the water makes them electrically charged (positive and negative). During Evolution the animal species (including humans) inherited their body fluids and electrolytes from the ocean.  The oceans contain nearly all 78 minerals and trace elements of the Periodic Table of the Elements as electrolytes. A small number of elements do not dissolve in water so they do not form charged electrolytes.  So, the proportions of electrolytes in the body fluids are the same as they are in the ocean. They’re just diluted. Electrolytes are essential minerals that carry an electric charge and help maintain various bodily functions.  The primary electrolytes include: * Sodium – Regulates fluid balance and nerve function * Potassium – Supports muscle contractions and heart health * Magnesium – Aids muscle relaxation, nerve signaling, and energy production * Calcium – Important for bone strength, muscle movement, and nerve function * Chloride – Helps with fluid balance and stomach acid production * Phosphate – Plays a role in energy storage and bone health These minerals are vital for maintaining hydration, muscle function, nerve signaling, blood pressure, and overall cellular processes. Without the right balance of electrolytes, you may experience muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and even severe health complications...

In this episode, we’ll explore why hydration is key during detox and share creative ways to help you and your kids drink more water. Water plays a critical role in detoxification, helping the body flush out toxins, support organ function, and maintain overall health. Whether you’re undergoing a cleanse, recovering from illness, or simply trying to rid your body of built-up toxins, proper hydration is essential. But getting enough water isn’t just important for adults—children also need to stay hydrated, and sometimes, getting them to drink enough can be a challenge. Remember, we’re talking about water, not juice or sugary, chemical laden, food dye filled drinks that pretend to be healthy and are often labeled as ‘sports’ drinks, nor are most effectively offering quality electrolytes. Why Hydration is Essential During Detoxification When your body is in detox mode—whether naturally or as part of a structured cleanse—it needs extra water to: 1. Flush Out Toxins Your liver and kidneys are the primary detox organs, filtering out harmful substances from your body. Drinking enough water ensures these organs function properly and that toxins are effectively removed through sweat, urine, and bowel movements. 2. Prevent Dehydration & Fatigue During detox, your body works hard to eliminate waste, which can lead to fluid loss. If you’re not drinking enough water, you may feel tired, sluggish, or experience headaches. Proper hydration keeps your energy levels up and reduces the risk of detox-related fatigue. 3. Support Digestion & Bowel Movements Many detox symptoms include bloating, constipation, or digestive discomfort. Water helps move waste through the intestines, preventing toxin buildup and improving digestion. 4. Maintain Electrolyte Balance...
