Sand Institute

The next time you decide to purchase a detoxifying drink at your local Whole Foods. Please consider eating fresh, real, organic broccoli!!!! It's inexpensive and contains the most powerful detoxifying phytonutrient called sulphoraphan. It assists your liver in detoxifying all those processed food toxins and environmental ones as well. It even kills cancer cells in a Petri dish. I highly recommend eating broccoli everyday! Mix in some garlic, onions, ginger, turmeric dandelion and basil and you've got a highly valuable detoxifying meal. Go broccoli!!!

Do antidepressant drugs work?? In randomized controlled trials ( meaning, best science) they work about 30% of the time if the patient has very severe depression. There is a "placebo" affect which is predominantly known with antidepressants. Exercise, walking outside, gardening have all been shown to help prevent depression. Eating fruits and vegetables also help tremendously with depression. Antidepressants have side affects. Insomnia, poor libido, reduced sexual activity and anxiety. Fruits which increase serotonin don't have these side affects!
