Is there really a difference between organic foods and regular foods? Other than the price?

I could care less about Obama, but the health care law known as Obamacare mis-motivates everybody from health care providers to health care consumers to manufacturers of health care products and yes, even health insurers.

I sympathize with your child's health problems and your plight. The new laws have pluses and minuses, but overall is a negative for almost everybody. Without intending to sound insensitive or disrespectful, I doubt you would consider amputating an arm to cure a hangnail as appropriate. IMHO that is Obamacare. I would never try to discourage anybody from taking personal attention to their health and lifestyle habits. Many self-destructive behaviors have become commonplace because "somebody else" will pay to clean up the mess and modern medicine has created "cures" for many of the symptoms and problems associated with poor health choices. We wouldn't be having this conversation 50 or 100 years ago because health care was not as capable as it is today. So forgetting those born with chronic problems (many of whom may never have survived pregnancy or early childhood in days past), we should be focusing on discouraging the choices that lead to poor health and not on how to pay for reactive health care. If everybody paid more out of their pocket at the point of service, for example, then consumers would be encouraged to make choices that avoided the need for a doctor;s visit and would be more likely to shop for the best deal for a health care provider. And doctors would need to compete for patients and spend a lot less processing insurance forms. Just an example.

I would argue that it doesn't allow more care, it requires more care. Or at least it requires you to pay for more care whether you use it or not. That is no way to motivate people to take care of themselves. Two of the leading causes of health problems are smoking and diet. Another leading cause is lack of moving. All of those are personal lifestyle decisions. If people really cared about their health, they would give up smoking, eat less and eat better, and exercise more. So consciously, people may not want to get ill, but they would rather sit on the couch watching TV and eating chips and take the chance of falling into poor health than move around and watch what they eat. Yes, there are exceptions. I have a colleague who is diabetic. He is in excellent shape and does triathalons and watches his diet very carefully. He isn't fat or even slightly overweight. And yet he has to take diabetes medication. It runs in his family and is obviously genetic. But the exceptions are relatively rare compared to the people who simply won't make the effort to take care of themselves. So just like the people who work hard, make good choices, and earn a decent living wonder why they must subsidize slugs who refuse to get a job or make good choices in life, people who work hard to be healthy wonder why they must subsidize those who refuse to take good care of themselves.

And who is this "we" that will be hiring more people? It sounds a lot like the taxpayers who will see no additional benefit from the extra jobs.

It is basically a natural mineral that is mined in several parts of the world. It is actually quite a large industry, and different qualities of zeolite are used in many things, even water purification. But the stuff that is sold for people, is usually organic, free of any chemical, etc.., sometimes it is sold in liquid form, sometimes in the powder form.

It attracts and traps heavy metals and toxins and removes them from your system. Liquid zeolite is a much smaller molecule, so will trap even smaller parts to remove from your body, down to about 1 micron in size. Powdered, can be any micron size, from 4-6 microns, up to looking more like sand particles (40+ microns in size). The smaller the micron, the more toxin removal benefits.

The stuff that looks more like sand is helpful for bone growth and is sold for horses for that purpose. I have also seen the smallest powdered micron available for horses and dogs and is sold for detox benefits and I buy it for my horses at $60 for a 15 lb bag. I have seen lesser quality powder sold for people at $60 for 1 lb! So... it is worth shopping around for.

The liquid is sold by many different companies, some are multi level marketing things if you like that kind of thing.. Waiora is one, and theirs was very expensive and only 1/2 ounce bottles I think. (I do not personally want to deal w/ the BS of the multi level schemes but to each their own.. ) but I have used the liquid also. But for me, it was still too pricey, but some very good ones I tried were called ZeSol and Zeolite Enhanced, I think.. not sure, but I believe they were about $45 for a 1 ounce bottle of drops. Instead now I just use the same powdered I buy for the critters and I feel a very positive difference for me, so I am good with that.
