The following Myths from “The Maker’s Diet” by Jordan Rubin.

It is an amazing story of how we need to get back to homeopathic remedies rather than doctors and hospitals. God has given us everything we need on earth and in our bodies. The key to getting health and not getting sick is to keeping the body in working order with what God has given our bodies to work right and the natural things that He made.

There are 27 of these myths, so I will be posting 3 every one of my blog days!!

I will also be posting what we do or believe about these Myths.

I have already posted Myths 1-3 4-6

Myths 7-9

7. Shower everyday but don’t take baths.
        Excessive showering—even in the purest water—can actually rob your hair and body of the natural oils. It can also alter your body’s pH (especially if you’re using certain alkaline shampoos and soaps.) Then you have the added problem of heavily chlorinated public water supplies. (See next Myths post) If the Maker has a preference, it might be the use of ritual bathing that combined bathing (washing in a shallow bath) with sprinkling (showering for brief periods). This combination is especially beneficial for the thorough but gentle cleansing recommended for the female genital area.

8. Swim in chlorinated pools and drink and shower in chlorinated water.
        Chlorine is an effective bacteria killer, although some strains of bacteria are developing a resistance to chlorine. Unfortunately, chlorine is an indiscriminate killer that kills both friendly and unfriendly bacteria. It also eats through lead pipes, corrodes most metals, and harms cells and DNA strands in virtually every living thing it touches. Chlorine also introduces to our water supplies some highly carcinogenic chemicals called trihalomethanes (THMs). Studies show a strong link between chlorinated water supplies with elevated THM levels and cancers of the bladder, kidney, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, colon, and brain. It is risky enough to drink chlorinated tap water, but the mass exposure created by swimming in chlorinated pools or taking extended hot showers in chlorinated water is much more dangerous. (The heat opens skin pores and increases the already high absorption rate of chlorine through the skin.) Dogs exposed to chlorine (this is the ingredient used to bleach white bread.) get running fits, a disorder similar to many psychiatric disorders in humans.

9. Don’t breast feed your baby.
        Mothers, consider breastfeeding your children if you don’t want them to risk the trauma of numerous childhood diseases and if you don’t want to pay hospital bills. It will also reduce your risk of breast cancer by 25%, and it may lower the risk of postpartum depression! Mother’s milk contains cells that attack harmful beacteria in the baby’s system, and it is able to form antibodies that destroy invading viruses as well. Mother’s milk is the Maker’s perfect food for babies, delivered in the close bonds of maternal intimacy.
