Practicing healthy food preparation and storage is important for maintaining the health of our families. News stories of food contamination only helps drive home that basic fact. We hear of it all the time, with recalls of fruits and vegetables that are tainted with toxins.
Some believe that the contaminated foods are imported, that other countries do not have the stringent guidelines for food growing and handling. So then how is it that we hear of recalls of tainted spinach from California growers?
In a report edited by W. Jongen at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands, there are many considerations in improving the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods can come in contact with contaminants many times during their growing and processing cycle.
Pathogens can be found in fruits and vegetables. Microbes can group themselves into tightly knit formations called biofilms that coat fruits and vegetables and protect the bacteria from harm. This kind of bacterial community can harbor multiple versions of infectious, disease-causing bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli.
Another possible cause for concern is the residue left on produce by repeated use of pesticides. While those pesticides can increase crop production by reducing pests, the continued intake of even traces of these chemicals can never be considered healthy.
Naturally occurring fungi can be found on any organic matter. When those fungi multiply, the mycotoxins can become harmful to our health. This risk can be found in foods fed to livestock as well as foods consumed directly by consumers.
What can we do to assure that our fresh produce is safe to feed our families? One discovery I have made is miracle mineral solution, or MMS. The cost is low, and one bottle can last for months or even years. MMS is a 28 percent solution of sodium chlorite. When it is mixed with a citric acid, food based, it becomes chlorine dioxide. Did you know that chlorine dioxide has been used for over 70 years for water purification?
One step we can take in our food preparation is to do that final cleaning prior to use of our produce. The method I prefer is to use MMS, or Miracle Mineral Solution and a little citric acid to produce chlorine dioxide. This combination was discovered several years ago, and used to treat thousands of malaria cases, hence the name miracle in Miracle Mineral Solution. The resulting chemical output is chlorine dioxide, a water purifier and naturally occuring detoxifier in the body.
I know that the health and wellness of your family is important to you. Miracle Mineral Solution gives us a choice that can lead to a healthier happier environment.
