Vitamin C Spray for Sun Protection

Even before the CDC released results of a study linking sunscreen ingredients to hormone disruption and cell damage, Hulda Clark tested and found sunscreen and many other commercial body products to be polluted with toxic chemicals. Not only is sunscreen bad for people, it is also bad for marine life, creating sex change in fish.

When worn while swimming in a chlorinated pool, sunscreen can cause cytotoxicity (cell death) and a loss of UV protection. Here are the studies that show what happens when sunscreen is exposed to chlorine.

Believe it or not, the best option for sun protection is as simple as Vitamin C and water.

Studies show that applying Vitamin C on the skin is effective against photoaging and reversing past sun damage to the skin. Use Vitamin C to protect your skin before sun exposure and as skin care treatment after sun exposure.

Here is the 2-ingredient recipe:

Vitamin C Spray

Ingredients:
8 oz distilled water
2 teaspoons Vitamin C Powder
8 oz HDPE Spray Bottle

I make a small batch for my family every year. The kids like spraying it in their mouths because of its tangy Vitamin C taste. (It’s food-grade!) This year I thought I’d make it available for anyone who would like one as well. Order Vitamin C Spray at NaturalHealthSupply.com.

Shake and spray on skin as often as you need. Vitamin C in water may turn a dark yellow in time, but it is still as potent as the day it was made.

It’s not sticky. Skin absorbs it easily. You don’t have to wait until before going outdoors to spray it. Use it everyday to reverse past sun damage, and keep the skin healthy and protected for future sunning.

Travel With Your Zapper

Sometimes the reality hits me: I have been zapping for over 20 years now! I can’t think of a time over the past 20 years when I didn’t have a Hulda Clark Zapper within reach. I’ve lived in three different states in the USA, visited countless places in three different countries, roughed it in many of them. I’ve always managed to have a Hulda Clark Zapper either packed with us or waiting for us when we arrived. Just as the mobile phone and internet has crept into people’s daily lives, the Hulda Clark Zapper has become indispensable in mine.

There had been situations when my family felt queasy after eating out at a restaurant. We took turns zapping in the car and felt instantly better.

One time while at a family picnic, my husband, my daughter, and I avoided the dairy dish that had been sitting in the sun too long, but my cousin didn’t. I found her looking pale and purple-lipped. I offered her use of my Hulda Clark Zapper and within twenty minutes of zapping while chit-chatting, she was back to her vibrant self. She almost forgot that just a few minutes prior, she was feeling sick.

Water in certain parts of the world can also be sketchy. Using the Hulda Clark Zapper either by zapping with copper handles or by zappicating food and water with a Food Zappicator can help minimize bacterial culture shock.

So pack your Hulda Clark Zapper with you when you travel. You never know the next time you or someone you love may need it. Here are some tips on how to bring your zapper with you on your trip:

Traveling in your own vehicle?
Pack your Hulda Clark Zapper in the glove compartment. Keep the copper pipes surrounded by a layer of paper towels so it’s ready to use. A spray bottle of water is handy to have in the car for easily spritzing on your paper towel-covered copper handles. Also store extra 9 volt batteries. Do not zap while driving. Leave the zapping to the passengers. If you need to zap, pull over to a safe zone like a rest area or a parking lot and zap there.

Traveling by land or going on a ship?
Pack your Hulda Clark Zapper in your suitcase. The copper handles are staining, especially when moist, so you want to protect your clothing from contact with it. Pre-wrap the copper pipes with paper towels and put in a resealable plastic bag. Pack an empty spray bottle you can fill with water for moistening your paper towel-covered copper handles. Remember to bring extra 9 volt batteries.

Traveling by plane?
The Hulda Clark Zapper with copper handles is perfectly safe for use mid-flight but it may arouse suspicion from airport personnel who are unfamiliar with this device. Consider mailing your zapper to your destination address. It only takes 2 to 3 days to deliver anywhere within the United States. There are also a number of shipping options for international mail. Paper towels, empty spray bottles, and 9 volt batteries are common items that can be purchased at local drug stores all over the world, but if you are headed somewhere rural and remote, you may want to mail yourself those items as well.

Have a great time on your trip!

Morse’s Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is an Eastern European delicacy made of finely shredded cabbage fermented by lactic acid bacteria. It is an effective way to build probiotics, bacteria that is beneficial to the body’s digestive system. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals.

Like most healthy food items, industry has figured out a way to ruin a good thing. Canned store-bought sauerkraut is heat-treated to extend shelf-life, so it is missing the live bacteria cultures that raw sauerkraut has to offer.

Cody LaMontagne, owner of Morse’s Sauerkraut

Seek out a local source for raw sauerkraut. We lucked out here in Maine because Morse’s Sauerkraut is the most awesome place to get “unadulterated lacto-fermented unpasteurized ‘kraut” since the day Virgil Morse delivered his first barrel of pickled cabbage to the local store in Waldoboro in 1910. Today, Morse’s Sauerkraut and Euro Deli also sells the best pickles, various cheeses, butters, fine meats, and many other European luxury foods.

Morse’s Sauerkraut serves amazing breakfasts and lunches in their restaurant, which gave us a chance to sample their pickles, sauerkraut and coleslaw on the side of their entrees. Everyone in the family loved it. Our bellies were happy!

Children’s Fairyland

This weekend we went to Children’s Fairyland in Lake Merritt, Oakland, an outdoor amusement park with a fairy tale theme.

Created in 1950, this historic park still has the creepy allure of old-fashioned fairs. Attractions look like they are in need of a new coat of paint. The pen marked “Three Blind Mice” had a guinea pig and the pen that housed the Three Billy Goats Gruff only had two overweight goats when we visited. One of the goats strolled over to us and let us pet him. Our baby was reluctant to pet him, and I appreciated the goat’s kindness and understanding of what the children come out here for, but it still made me feel sad. I imagined the goat having the same low voice as Eeyore, sadly resigning himself to an activity he may not necessarily enjoy, but has learned to put up with.

When my baby wanted to breastfeed, we stopped by the little pond marked “Goosey Goosey Gander,” which housed two ducks. I sat there amused at the sad orchestral music playing, remarking to my husband about how the minor keys were making me feel so sad for the animals. Can you imagine being stuck somewhere and having to put up with sad music all day?

Children’s Fairyland is also home to a sheep, an alpaca and Coco the Pony, who is 34 years old!

All in all, we had a great time at Children’s Fairyland. There are lots of fun places to photograph – a Three Little Pigs roleplaying station, Alice in Wonderland, a Wild West setting – and tiny little houses for children to run around in. I would definitely come back again and support our local amusement park. It’s the only way I know how to make it a better place for my growing child.
