Paternity Test Results May Not Be Admissible In Your State
An interesting case where local state laws have not kept pace with advances in technology. A paternity test reveals a husband is not the father of the child he has raised as his own but he still has to pay child support to his ex-wife and the real father of “his” daughter because the law does not recognize DNA testing.
The takeaway from all this? Before you spend upwards of $400 on a home paternity test kit, make sure the laws in your state allow such evidence in court.

Dr. Ron Rosedale Exposes the Myth of Bad Cholesterol
More evidence is accumulating that cholesterol itself is not the problem. Rather, inflammation caused by excess carbohydrates (sugar, starches, grains and pasta) is the more likely culprit.
So why do you need a home cholesterol testing kit? Good question, and truthfully, I don’t have a perfect answer. A cholesterol test on its own may not give you enough information to really be able to assess your heart health. Just like a headache is not necessarily caused by a brain tumor, it doesn’t rule out the possibility either.
Although more expensive that the cholesterol test kit, a CRP or C reactive protein test can reveal inflammation that may be the real cause of heart disease.
The New York Times recently wrote:
“That factor is C-reactive protein, or CRP, a blood-borne marker of inflammation that, along with coagulation factors, is now increasingly recognized as the driving force behind clots that block blood flow to the heart. Yet patients are rarely tested for CRP, even if they already have heart problems.”
In fact, it may be even more important that you test yourself for CRP as many doctors do not do this test on a regular basis, despite the fact that approximately 50% of people with high cholesterol do NOT have heart disease.Click here to order your CRP test or home cholesterol test kits.
It’s getting more difficult to recommend cholesterol test kits these days when the understanding of the role cholesterol actually plays in our bodies is better understood. Still, home cholesterol tests that show LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels can still act as a general indicator of potential health problems, especially when done in conjunction with C Reactive Protein and homocystine testing.
As the video points out, we often confuse the firetruck with the cause of the fire. Cholesterol may just be the firetruck that is trying to put out the inflammation started by glucose and other inflammatory agents.
Our supplier has CRP (C Reactive Protein) tests available for home testing. Click here to order your CRP or home cholesterol test kit.
The CRP test measures levels of inflammation in your body and is a powerful indicator of heart attack risk.
Recent studies have clearly established that higher the CRP levels, the higher the risk of having a heart attack. Specifically it has been established that the risk for heart attack in people in the upper third of CRP levels is twice that of those in the lower third.
The New York Times recently wrote “That factor is C-reactive protein, or CRP, a blood-borne marker of inflammation that, along with coagulation factors, is now increasingly recognized as the driving force behind clots that block blood flow to the heart. Yet patients are rarely tested for CRP, even if they already have heart problems.”
Many informed physicians are now recommending that their patients be tested for CRP as often as they have their cholesterol checked. However, the CRP test may be even more important to monitor than cholesterol as about half of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people whose cholesterol is normal. – Testcountry.com
Not worried about your water? You should be. This five part video series on the safety of the American water supply highlights how over 500,000 companies have violated EPA regulations when it comes to dumping pollution into our water since 2004. Fewer than 3% of these companies have ever been fined or charged.

Why Detox Drinks for Drug Tests Are a Waste of Money
A good expose of the detox drink scam for passing drug tests.
Detox drinks contain mainly water and some creatine to help you retain that water. If you want to try to scam the drug testing by diluting your urine sample, just drink water! Save your money for the rehab you’re going to need later.
While diluting your urine may work for some of the older labs, many labs are updating their testing facilities and procedures. How well do you know the lab doing the testing? Probably not at all. Is it worth the risk? No.
This assumes that your employer is still doing urine sample drug testing. Many employers are switching to either saliva sampling or hair analysis for their drug testing. These tests are a lot harder to fool. Click on these links to learn more about hair drug testing and saliva drug testing.
Good luck!
