Of course I took an entire bottle of the cyanide! After all, it’s NATURAL!

A few months ago, I read a news story about a radio station that had a contest. The contest winner drank more water, in a water drinking contest, than anyone else. Of course, she was poisoned by the water and she died before she got back home.
Some of you out there might (I sure hope not, though), at this point, be saying, “What? The water was poisoned?”
No, the water wasn’t poisoned. But the contest winner was poisoned by it because she drank too much of it, too quickly. Yes, even water can poison you, if you have too much of it at any one time. The poison, as they say, is in the dose.
Remember that: The. Poison. Is. In. The. Dose. the next time you think about using a “natural” compound indiscriminately.
There are times when you should take more of any natural compound, in order to restore a balance, of course. In fact, those of you out there who take vitamins are assuming that you HAVE an imbalance in whatever vitamin you are taking, and so you are supplementing those particular vitamins, with a One-A-Day, a Flintstone, a Centrum, etc.-- or an ADEK (if you have CF).
More is not better. And simply because it comes from a natural source doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you. Even water can kill you if you take in too much of it at one time.
