Bottled Water–Not so Pure

by Phyllis Wheeler

Do you shrink from tap water? If you do, you’re not alone, suspecting the water of containing contaminants and finding that it tastes or smells or even looks strange.

The obvious alternative is bottled water, which over the past 15 years has become increasingly popular. Plenty of us are solving the problem this way.

Since the FDA (which regulates bottled water) has lower testing standards than the EPA (which regulates tap water), the bottled water may have more microbes in it, according to tests.

Is Snake Venom Effective for Arthritis

by Amy Clark

Dr. Nafthali Primor, Research and Development Manager of Shulov Institute for Sciences was the first researcher to propose snake venom as an effective natural pain relief for arthritis.

Primor and his group have uncovered some powerful chemicals in the venom of various species of cobras, vipers, and rattle snakes. These are effective as analgesics for severe pain due to a number of diseases, including cancer and especially arthritis which usually leads to debilitating pain.

Snake Venom Use

Though Dr. Primor’s research was the first official acknowledgement of the curative properties of snake venom, this idea has been popular through time. Long before Primor published his research, there were already reports of successful arthritis treatment through snake bites.
