Why do I have digestive issues and why do I get sick? Our intestinal flora has been compromised due to our unnatural state of being in what we consider as normal life in our society. To answer these questions, we have to take it back to the beginning of life itself. One of the most natural functions as animals, giving birth, has been dehumanized and in fact, we treat child birth like a disease.  The birthing process takes place in sterile hospital rooms and mothers are hooked up intravenously. They are injected with antibiotics which end up affecting the foundation for the baby’s digestive and immune systems.  The antibiotics prescribed, "to prevent infection," often prevent good bacteria from colonizing in the baby’s digestive tract. Induced labor often leads to caesarian section births, which is another issue.  A baby in the mother’s womb is sterile. The passage through the birth canal, full of healthy bacteria, is the baby’s first exposure to bacteria orally
Why Plastic is BAD!! Xenoestrogens or foreign estrogens! Xenoestrogens can wreak havoc on normal hormone balance by mimicking the body's natural estrogen, which in turn can lead to imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone. Fibroid can lead then develop as a result of this estrogen  dominance. Its important to reduce or avoid foods that  promote excess estrogen- processed foods, dairy, products, refined carbohydrates, and excess alcohol and caffeine . Xenoestrogens are also found in personal care products, cosmetics, household cleaners, plastics "Plastic Bottle- Bottled water" and pesticides.
