Why should you encourage your kid to play outdoors?

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” – George Bernard Shaw.

According to the World Health Organization, children should get at least 60 minutes of exercise daily. Sadly though, the children of our generation are leading dangerously sedentary lives. They are not getting enough sleep and most of their time is spent watching TV or you can find them glued to laptops, iPads, tablets and smart phones.

Research suggests that today’s kids are spending almost 7 hours or so daily in front of screens. This is an alarming trend; one that is promoting all sorts of avoidable health problems in our kids.


Sedentary lifestyle makes kids prone to developing obesity, anxiety, behavior changes and poor brain functions. On the other hand, physical activity lowers risk of obesity and other factors that can cause heart problems and type 2 diabetes later in life. Being active is also good for healthy brain development. Children who regularly play outside are likely to be more engaged and focused than kids who spend most of their time indoors. In addition, there is resounding evidence that free play promotes better social skills and helps kids to learn better.

DMSO Treats Periodontal Disease

  While DMSO is not recognized by the FDA as a safe form of medication, in any other use than treating urinary tract infections, it has been reported as successful in clearing up tooth decay and gum disease. In the 1980’s, pioneering dentists, primarily in Poland and Russia used DMSO on patients suffering from gum disease and tooth decay.  Due to the natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of DMSO, it has positive reaction towards combatting these issues while also offering pain relief from tooth decay and periodontitis. Periodontitis is a disease that affects the gums, bones and periodontal membrane.  Bacteria on food debris accumulate at the gum line where it proceeds to develop plaque-the hard deposits of tartar.  Not only can tartar be unsightly, it also causes adverse health issues, ranging from bad breath, periodontal disease, and tooth decay. This tartar accumulates in the crevices between the gums and teeth, forming pockets, whi...

DMSO for Brain Health

  Studies of DMSO have been done on various types of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  Tests indicate that DMSO helps brain cells to mature, communicate better with each other and it increases the blood flow and oxygen to the brain.  As a person gets older and circulation becomes impaired, the amount of nutrients and oxygen flow to the brain is reduced.   Over a period of six months a group of Alzheimer’s patients were treated with DMSO and they showed marked improvement including better memory, communication, concentration and a reduction in disorientation.  One of the primary ways that DMSO is able to have such a positive impact on brain dysfunction is its ability to dissolve what is referred to as amyloid protein.  These amyloid proteins are considered abnormal deposits and are distributed throughout bodily tissue in various different forms and are directly connected to over thirty-six types of human disease including Alzheimer’s, Type 2...

DMSO Offers Relief of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome triggered by malfunctions of the central nervous system and can affect males and females of any age group.  However, it is most frequently occurring in women over the age of eighteen. Fibromyalgia is characterized by long-lasting encumbering fatigue, often accompanied by extensive muscle pain.  It often results in several tender points in the body, primarily in areas of the neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs.  This can produce major pain even when minor pressure is applied.  While fibromyalgia can occur without the presence of other health issues, it seems to be common among people who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and spinal arthritis.  It is also linked to people who have endured repetitive or traumatic injuries. Relief from the chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia is often found in the use of natural products including sulfur components.  This is because concentrated amounts of sulfur is t...
