Five Steps To Help Restore The Environment 14 y
Quote from "Earth Day 2010: Five Steps You Can Take to Save the Environment"
By JEANMARIE TODD
”Rethink your commute”
”Repurpose food waste[1] -
Why throw away food when it can be turned into compost, a great addition to any garden?”
”Recycle and buy recycled”
”Know where your food is coming from”
and last but not least:
”Choose pastured beef and chicken:
You may have heard eating meat causes climate change. That’s not exactly right. It has more to do with industrial agriculture and production methods than cows themselves. Consider this: Ruminants (cows, buffaloes, etc.) evolved to eat primarily grasses, and while they love grain, it’s not good for them in large qua ... read more The Fat Truth:

A "story ... to convince farmers and livestock producers ... to look into the possibility of using raw milk, compost tea, earthworm castings tea, liquid fish or sea minerals or some combination thereof to boost production at an affordable cost."
”Can raw milk make grass grow? More specifically, can one application of three gallons of raw milk on an acre of land produce a large amount of grass? The answer to both questions is yes.”

Article on the appendix by Jon Barron plus NY Times article on microbes.
”According to a paper published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, the appendix serves a dual function. First, it makes, trains, and directs white blood cells. Second, it serves as a type of warehouse or storage compartment for ’good bacteria’ that boost the immune system when help is required. According to the research, the appendix holds on to reserves of ’good bacteria’ so that when bad bacteria flourish or a nasty case of diarrhea reduces the colonies of good bacteria, the appendix can send in reinforcements. These bacteria may also influence white blood cells to clear up any infe ... read more Overcoming Problems With Digestion and Assimilation 14 y

Also Chef Jem on digestion as the Foundation of Health
The foundation for achieving and maintaining a healthy gut is good digestion. (A number of health practitioners have stated as much and more under the banner of ”health begins in the gut” and similar statements). Identifying the need for improving digestion is therefore one of the first things look at in any nutrition therapy consultation. There is a lot we can do to make digestion easier! The easier we make digestion the better for the whole body and the more benefits we will get from our food.
The first and most immediately adoptable thing is that everything consumed will digest bett ... read more "The Ontogenetic System of Microbes" 14 y
From "Bones"

"Bone SBS" Significant Biological Special Program Of Nature
”Chemo really does reduce swellings – be it the swelling of a boil, of an abscess, or even the swelling caused by a bee sting; however, Chemo not only interrupts healing, it also prevents the microbes from doing their beneficial work during the healing process.
With the Ontogenetic System of Microbes (Fourth Biological Law) we learn to understand from an evolutionary point of view how perfectly the roles of microbes fit into Nature’s Biological Special Programs (SBS). Microbes developed, essentially, with and for us. They are an integral part of Nature’s regulatory system, which conven ... read more A Food Justice Conference 14 y
Questions, notes & previous blogs in contemplation of the Food Justice Conference in San Diego.
I gave considerable consideration for possibly attending their next planning meeting for ”San Diego Cultivating Food Justice Conference”
http://www.sdfoodjustice.org/
I needed to know their
Vision plus their
Goals/Outcomes.
Apparently this is theri Mission Statement:
”To gather the diverse San Diego community together to work towards creating an equitable and sustainable food system for all people through education, networking and direct action.”
”Definitions”:
How do they define ”Food Justice” (as well as ”equitable and sustainable”)?
Is the term distinguished from: ”Foo ... read more Soy - Fermented vs. Unfermented 14 y
Search results at Weston A. Price.org for edamame.
”Let’s be clear that the unfermented soy products such as soy milk, soy burgers, sausage and meat substitutes, tofu, edamame, aburage (deep fried tofu) will require your body to supply or produce the enzymes to process these foods that may be further compromised if the natural enzyme inhibitors are not deactivated. A caution and warning to all those who use unfermented soy products on a daily or regular basis! Some may not be harmful in moderation but please be responsible in researching what you’re eating BEFORE a health problem occurs!”

Article in The Ecologist reveals the present "Orwellian scenario" of what originally began with a vision "that ‘organic’ food should be mostly unrefined and distributed and consumed locally, in its optimum condition".
”Organic food and farming was predicated on the belief that something called ‘holistic thinking’ would grow up along with the species-rich meadows and living foods. It was established on a belief that we humans are capable of comprehending, even participating in, the cyclic wheel of nature, seasons and unforced productivity. But only a little way down the line, it seems that we lost the plot.
The dreams of the early organic pioneers have been subsumed into a rush for global supply chains, strict regulations and fast-selling brands.”

An appeal "to see the reality of the bills allowing the government to dictate everything done on farms".
Please let all those who believe the government is doing something toward ”farm to school” programs know that the ”food safety” bills in the Senate not only would make that impossible, but would destroy local farming, CSAs, farmers markets, and all our desires for a sustainable local food system.
... Corporations are making immense moves to control things now, and control food is the most valuable thing of all - everyone must eat.
The bills, if passed, would be a complete win by exactly those corporations indicted in Food, Inc. and Fresh, the Movie, and get rid of everyone else. Th ... read more 24 Years Since The Origin of Community Supported Agriculture! 14 y
Excerpt from a chapter in "Deep Gardening: Soul Lessons from 17 Gardens" on one man's experience in the early days of Community Supported Agriculture.
”I was on the lookout for different marketing method, but that didn’t come to me for another little while. I had no way of knowing that in that 1986 season growers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire had independently come up with an alternative that would change the face of the farmer/eater relationship. ... Then came the Summer, 1987 issue of Biodynamics, the journal of the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, with an article by Jan VanderTuin about a concept, new to the U.S., called ’Community Supported Agriculture’.

”... The connective tissue and cartilage in less favored cuts of meat such as feet, knuckles, organ meats, and stew meat are rich in the proteins glycine and proline. These amino acids help reduce inflammation, calm mental activity, and promote sleep, making stress less dangerous for the body. The diets of traditional peoples included the complete animal, with all its parts. These native populations were remarkably free of the degenerative diseases of modern civilization. We recommend that you increase the amount of amino acids such as glycine and proline in your di ... read more Warfarin And Chinese Medicine 14 y
Article by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon that begins with a history of Warfarin and ends with natto-kinase a substance derived from natto (fermented soy bean product) that was "isolated by Japanese researcher Hiroyuki Sumi in 1980 while he was studying at the University of Chicago Medical School".
A Very Highly Recommended article on this subject:
http://www.itmonline.org/arts/warfarin.htm
I got inspired (right after my acupuncture appointment this afternoon) to search for Chinese herbs that could possibly replace the use of Warfarin or the Coumadin drug that my father is currently taking. I became concerned when it was reported that he had a bleeding incident. I was also very surprised to learn that he was still taking the drug over a year after he told me he’d be weaning off of it by the end of ’08. I immediately searched for some natural blood thinners to offer. That list ... read more The Need To Connect Organizations That Are Dedicated to Farm Sovereignty, Food Sovereignty, Health Sovereignty and Freedom 14 y

I think it would help people to know and understand:
our Fundamental American Law that provides tremendous limitations on all ”Acts of Congress”.
In addition a study of the founding documents can teach us about our Sovereignty, both of the people (individually) and of the individual states. IMO we always need to know who we are in relation to the United States or any corporate entity.
