Minerals: Dynamos that Build, Energize and Detoxify Your Body

Are you getting enough minerals? Which ones work best? Are some supplements REALLY better than others? How do you enhance absorption ? Can you take too many? Minerals are the nutrients that build, energize and detoxify your body. You know about the importance of anti-oxidants and B vitamins in health. Now learn about the critical role that minerals play in your DNA being "read" correctly, so that your body can build new proteins to grow, maintain and repair itself. Minerals are also critical for energy production in your intra-cellular powerhouses. Without them, energy production grinds to a halt. Fatigue, palpitations and confusion follow and if left untreated, death. They are also essential for detoxification to occur in your liver and for normal thyroid function.

How Polluted are YOU? Does it Matter? What can You Do About It?

Join Dr. Vaughan as she explores how the world AROUND us is actually now IN us. The CDC, the Environmental Working Group, and many others are measuring how chemicals brought to us by "Better Living through Chemistry" now collect in usÑand our kids. Some people seem to not have any side effects from hundreds of chemicals in their bodies. Some scientists say that the levels are so low that it's nothing to worry about. Others worry about toxic or cumulative effects in specific individuals with genetic predispositions. Some people definitely do get very sick with asthma from diesel fumes, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity from exposures to mold and formaldehyde, and multiple sclerosis from mercury toxicity. Are you at risk? What can you do? Learn how to protect your family in this chemical world.
