SCRIPPS NATURAL SUPPLEMENT CONFERENCE JAN 2016 TAKEAWAYS
Dear President Obama & Michelle @FLOTUS @MichelleObama, as Your Enchanted Gardener, I'll be getting you my report on #ScrippsNatSup. The Scripps Natural Supplement Conference, January 27-31, 2016 ASAP. Just found out today that Jan 17 was your 52nd Birthday. It is Feb 1, 2016.
Lots to get done. Happy belated Birthday, Michelle!
Michelle Obama began an initiative early in her years in the White House called, "Let's Move!" I say, "Let's Move" toward Healthy Healthcare that is based on preventive practices and Evidenced-Based Science with heart behind it. This is a picture of Michelle Obama taken in San Diego on April 15, 2010 at the IRC Roots Garden not far from my home where she spoke to her about her initiative.
THE MEDICINE OF TOMORROW IS NOW THE MEDICINE OF TODAY!
This is a picture of key leaders of the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine for the #ScrippsNatSup conference. I believe the Healthy Healthcare is coming in. I have been bearing witness to it at the annual Scripps Natural Supplements Conference. Look at the love!. Left to right, Seth Romanoff, Communications Director; Dr. Mimi Guarneri, president of the Academy; Nancy Sudak, co-Ceo.
THIS HISTORIC MOMENT
How timely that within ten days of the Scripps Natural Supplement Conference January 27-31, NPR unleashed its documentary . Supplements and Safety My assessment is that the Natural Product & Supplement Industry will police itself even stronger now.
This documentary points out that more than 50 people have been harmed by supplements reaching the marketplace that had contaminated ingredients and suggests that more government oversight is the answer.
In One Section of this #PlantYourDreamBlog I began to research this Supplement and Safety Documentary and what the internet was saying about it.
In another section, I was researching a Bottomline for me, that the essence of our need for Supplements goes back to Soil Deficiency. I am condensing both of these sections.
I want to take a moment in silence to grieve the loss of the fifty or more innocent lives that were reported harmed in this NPR documentary, as well as grieve the thousands upon thousands harmed by Pharmaceutical Drugs. They are not mentioned in the documentary that is one sided.
Truly, we will regain balance and move forward through the contributions of doctors willing to dedicate themselves to evidence-based science, as well as healers and practitioners who are studied in the Book of Nature and the more than 1000's of years of experience in the realm of natural healing. Much of that experience is available to the students of medicine and some of it accessible on the Internet.
Integrative Medicine is now taking hold in the lives of a generation of Health Practitioners who attend the annual Scripps Natural Supplement #ScrippsNatSup Conference and @AIHMGlobal #AIHM16 sponsored events.
Hopefully, Integrative Medicine will catch up with the wisdom and knowledge that many in previous generations have understood about medicine, and we will live to see a day when Medicine is no longer defined as taking a supplement or a drug. I see as necessary the return to our earth connection. The Doctors of the Soil and Regenerative Agriculture our keys to unraveling the fragmentation on our plates now. I want to contribute through this #PlantYourDreamBlog to the evolution of Medicine.
I am here to foster this natural growth. How Fast Can a Dream Grow? As Fast as a Blade of Grass!
The Hastag #ScrippsNatSup
The Hastag #ScrippsNatSup was used throughout The Scripps Natural Supplements 2016 event of January 27-31, 2016. I would like to call this hashtag to the attention of my friends in Washington D.C. and to our President @POTUS and First Lady @FLOTUS, and to researchers.
LET'S MOVE MORE AND BE MORE HEALTHY!
The Annual Scripps Natural Supplement Conference event is a yearly tune-up for my personal health.
This conference was personally impactful. It inspired me to want to move more and be more healthy. It inspired me to take on some of the issues in my life now that are causing me stress.
Among the inspirations was hearing and spending some moments with Dr Kenneth Cooper, a long time military man, who created the word Aerobics. He inspired a desire in me to exercise more. At 84, he is an inspiration. fully committed to his life's work and passion.
Dr. Osama Hamdy M.D., one of the speakers, and I ate lunch together. He said, exercise 30 minutes a day, at least. He was also a big fan of Olive Oil. I have been stepping up my use since the conference.
I am going to eat more vegetarian more days a week. Dr. Bernard Jensen recommended eating meet no more than three times a week.
Dr. Mark Hyman spoke as well. He is apassionate man who is contributing to lessening the Waseline of America. He pointed out the damages caused by our obesity epidemic.
Dr. David Perlmutter, author of "Brain Maker," gave a moving amazing talk.
Dr. Mimi Guarneri gave a fantastic overview to cap the conference. There was more, much more to report. I would like to see the tapes of this event in the Library of Congress.
DIGITAL RECORDINGS OF THE SCRIPPS NATURAL SUPPLEMENT CONFERENCES AND THE ACADEMY OF INTEGRATIVE HEALTH AND MEDICINE ARE AVAILABLE
I would like to see some of this material studied and added to the body of knowledge contained in the Library of Congress and available to students and libraries.
Healthcare issues are contributing to Economic Bankruptcy
We have many healthcare issues in America that are contributing to ill health and economic bankruptcy. Many Remedies for our healthcare improvement, and potential for economic well being, both individual and collectively, were expressed though the evidence-based talks at this recent 13th Annual Scripps Natural Supplements Conference January 27–31 2016 in San Diego, as well as in previous years.
It's time to clearly look at our healthcare issues. The annual Scripps Supplement Conference and its lead organizations involved--The Scripps Center for Integration Medicine and the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine #AIHM16 are to be congratulated for the profound base of knowledge they are accumulating. This annual conference is transforming the lives of medical doctors, and other health practitioners, and through them, helping patients.
The excitement that was generated at the conference was palpable and uplifting. I was personally uplifted and contributed the gifts that I'm bringing to the table, creating sacred moments where numbers of attendees planted dreams.
I believe now is the time and this is the moment to uplift healthy healthcare in America.
A look at the documentary supplements and safety that aired first January 16. 2016
THE DOCUMENTARY SUPPLEMENTS AND SAFETY FIRST AIRED ON FRONTLINE AIRED JANUARY 19, 2016
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/supplements-and-safety/
GAME CHANGER
I sense that this documentary will bring a lot of issues up to the surface. I want to give my own input about natural supplements, the proliferation of pharmaceutical Drugs, and a healthy future for Medicine.
This #PlantYourDreamBlog shared some of those insights explaining why supplements have become necessary; and yet beyond this, we need to return our soil and our food to a quality that can not only help us Survive This Day, but help us Thrive.
The Supplements & Safety doc can help launch The Pure Food Revolution to greater heights. The one/sided broadcast can not only dredge up the underbelly of the supplement industry but the sad state of Big Pharma in America that can hurt as much as help.
My opening ceremony sept 8 2015 right before Vandana Shiva 🍎 at the national Heirloom Expo 2015 @heirloomexpo seeded this pure food revolution. The root causes of why we need supplements as well as drugs will be explored on the #plantyourdreamblog.

SUPPLEMENTS AND SAFETY
About eight days before the Scripps Natural Supplements Conference, NPR aired a documentary called Supplements and Safety.
The recent Supplements and Safety NPR documentary of January 19 was an imbalanced report and yet it pointed out a very important Problem, --making sure all ingredients sold in supplements are not only safe but of the highest quality standards across the board.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, pioneer of the natural healing arts, quoted an Armenian saying that the "Remedy" for any health "Problem" grows right next to the imbalance. As much as the documentary was pointing out the Problem, I feel the Scripps Natural Supplement Conference was pointing out numbers of the Remedies.

We are deficient, Sentate Report #264
1936 US Senate document: soil deficiency causes sickness – part 2
November 2, 2015 in food, history | Tags: food, health, history, United States
Yesterday’s post had the first part of a two-part series on American soil deficiency in 1936.
The source material, at the request of a US Senator at the time — Duncan Fletcher (D – Florida) — was included in the 74th Congress 2nd Session, Senate Document #264, 1936.
http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/modernmiraclemen.pdf
The original document is on the US Senate website. (An HTML version is here.) It is an article from a family news magazine, The Cosmopolitan, which much later became the title we know today.
The article is called ‘Modern Miracle Men’ written by Rex Beach about Dr Charles Northen, a physician who went into soil replenishment to better nourish man and beast. He was based in Orlando, Florida, and could have been resident in Fletcher’s constituency. The article says that Northen was considered
the most valuable man in the State.
From https://churchmousec.wordpress.com/2015/11/02/1936-us-senate-document-soil-deficiency-causes-sickness-part-2/
Why Natural Healing Practitioners Turned to Supplements
There was a time in natural healing history, when practitioners turned to vegetables and fruits to help the body return to balance and eliminate "dis ease" as Dr. Bernard Jensen called it.
Supplementation came in as a result of agricultural practices that no longer produce therapeutic quality food. There was an effort to supplement what was known to be needed.
An archival report on the state of soil deficiency and his effect on human health was read into the records of the 74th Senate on June 5, 1936 by Senator Fletcher. It was an an article by Rex Beach on the experiments of Dr. Charles Northen M.D. to build health from the ground up.
HERE IS THE SENATE REPORT #264 READ INTO THE SENATE RECORD ON JUNE 5TH

SOIL BUILDING IS THE BASIS OF FOOD BUILDING TO ACCOMPLISH HUMAN BUILDING
Dr Charles Northen) voiced the assertion that we must make soil building the basis of food building in order to accomplish human building. --from an article by Rex Beech, 1936 read into the Congressional Record. Document #264.
He also is reported to have said that the vegetables of that day and fruits did not have the trace minerals that they had generations before and could not feed us fully. If not then, What now?--my quote.

Dr. Mercola reports,
Why Widespread Nutritional Deficiencies Are a Reality That Must Be Reckoned With
January 20, 2014 | 275,537 views
This article contains one of my favorite FDA quote:
So begins an article titled "The Battlefront for Better Nutrition,"6 written in 1950. It clearly shows that these problems are not new, because although it was penned more than 60 years ago, the information is as applicable today as it was back then. In fact, besides changes in names of the key characters, the storyline is one we're all too familiar with. Consider this excerpt:
"These commercial interests have the United States Government on their side, ever since they ousted Dr. Harvey W. Wiley from his job as head of the Food & Drug Administration in 1912.
The head of the Food & Drug Division of Nutrition, Dr. Elmer M. Nelson in a special Constitutional Court in Washington 1949 was quoted as saying:
'It is wholly unscientific to state that a well fed body is more able to resist disease than a less well-fed body. My overall opinion is that there hasn't been enough experimentation to prove dietary deficiencies make one more susceptible to disease.' (Washington Post, October 26, 1949.)
This is nothing new for Dr. Nelson. Ten years ago he, with his group of experts, testified in a similar court, that neither degenerative disease, infectious disease, nor functional disease could result from any nutritional deficiency.
For all these years, he has battled for the maker of devitalized foods, tried to stem the tide of public opinion against the use of white flour, refined sugar, pasteurized milk and imitation butter by vigorous prosecution of any maker of any dietary supplement designed to abate the consequences of using such devitalized food, basing his arguments on the thesis that there were no such things as deficiency diseases.
Truly, as Dr. Wiley sadly remarked in his book The History of a Crime Against the Pure Food Law (1930), the makers of unfit foods have taken possession of Food & Drug enforcement, and have reversed the effect of the law, protecting the criminals that adulterate foods, instead of protecting the public health."
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/20/food-nutrients-vitamin-supplements.aspx
Here is some background from my investigation. Marketplace Canada ran a story about Supplements on November 12.
This story said that Vitamin C was making illegal claims.
Parts of this story were later removed, as retesting proved that certain products that they claimed the information they gave in the article that potentially damaged certain companies was incorrect. Marketplace apologized.
PARTS OR ORIGINAL ARTICLE THAT PUT DOWN VITAMIN C AND MORE
Health claims break rules
Even though more than half of Canadians who take Vitamin C believe that it helps fight off a cold, Health Canada does not allow manufacturers to make that claim.
That's because that is a myth that the science doesn't back up, says Dr. David Agus, best selling author of The End of Illness, and a professor of medicine at University of Southern California.
"If you have Vitamin C, a cold will last seven days. If you don't have Vitamin C, your cold will last a week," he says.

RETRACTION

Parts of this story were retracted in an article January 21 with an apology.

From the PBS COMMENTS
Since the best defense is a good offense, there is reason to believe that pharmaceutical industry interests are well served by casting aspersions absolutely anywhere but at themselves. And a competing industry makes a fine target. I hope Big Pharma made some really large pledges to PBS. The Frontline documentary looks to be as much an infomercial for them as it is an embarrassment for supporters of public television.

WHERE TH FDA MAY VERY WELL STAND TODAY
This #PlantYourDreamBlog includes the research links they I found as I was looking at the subject of the NPR Documentary Supplements and Safety that aired January 19, 2016.
I also included some of my favorite FDA historical quotes, including one from Dr. Elmer M. Nelson who in a special Constitutional Court in Washington 1949 who was quoted as saying:
'It is wholly unscientific to state that a well fed body is more able to resist disease than a less well-fed body. My overall opinion is that there hasn't been enough experimentation to prove dietary deficiencies make one more susceptible to disease.' (Washington Post, October 26, 1949.)

That my friend, may very well be the position of the FDA today, no matter how much evidence to the contrary..
Some of the root issues that plague the FDA are pointed out in Dr. Thomas Wiley's Book "A History of Crimes Against the Pure Food Law of 1938. This book once disappeared from the shelves of most libraries however through the Concerted effort of the Selene Press and extsnt documents from the works of pioneer elders in the natural healing arts we get a sense and a depth of understanding about the trauma too many over the last hundred years or so since Dr. Harvey W. Wiley M.D.inspired the FDA in the first place . He had something else in mind than what we experience today .
A DIALOGUE ON SCIENCE, ETHICS AND FOOD IS NOW NEEDED
In light of the recent NPR documentary, as well as the evidence-based research now available, I want to call out all parties for an open Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food.
The recent Supplements and Safety NPR documentary of January 19, although an imbalanced one-sided report presumably aimed to give the Supplements industry a black eye, yet pointed out a very important "Problem"--making sure all ingredients in supplements are not only safe, but of the highest quality standards.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, a pioneer of the natural healing arts, and one of my teachers, quoted an Armenian saying that the "Remedy" for any health "Problem" grows right next to the imbalance.
As much as the "Problem" exists, I believe the "Remedy" --many of them--were being expressed at this conference.
MORE ON THE SUGGESTED DIALOGUE
ARE WE READY FOR A DIALOGUE ON SCIENCE, ETHICS, AND FOOD?
Years ago, after attended the AAAS Conference in San Diego, I was inspired to create FB page intended to be a Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food.
I highly recommend that such a Dialogue proceed now.
I am sure that there is much dialogue already taking place regarding Healthcare. It is time to move toward Healthy Healthcare in America, that is preventive in nature.
I am planting a Seed of Intention now, that this dialogue proceed. I hope my sharing of what I witnessed at the Annual Scripps Natural Supplement Conference and the Annual People, Planet, and Purpose event organized by @AIHMGlobal #AIHM16 contributes toward your understanding.

It is time to move beyond demonizing other points of view simple because we do to understand them. It is time to come together and see the work that is being done here through #AIHM16 @paradisepointSD @sandiegoplaces that our health Care system be healthy.
THE REAL BOTTOMLINE
FOOD AS MEDICINE
In 1936, there was a report on Soil deficiency and it's health consequences read into the U.S. Senate record. We would not be having the need for natural supplements now as much as we do or the heroic attempt to solve some of our health concerns with pharmaceutical drugs if we had listened to that body of knowledge. It's clear what we eat and how we grow food contributes to the potential of Food again becoming Medicine. It's our shared responsibility now to grow out the heirloom seeds that represent the marginalized super foods preserved by indigenous cultures. It's also our responsibility to make sure our remaining seed supply are no longer contaminated by Glysophate and GMO farming methods.
ACTION STEP: TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE
It's time now for the accumulated research from The Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine #AIHM16 and it's new Fellowship to be read into the U.S. Senate report. it's also important to accept the limits of science to fully prove all that is necessary to be fully healthy.

I began this #PlantYourDreamBlog the morning following a profound rainfall in San Diego, January 31, 2016. We were still having rare intense wind and during the night cold. I attribute one of the causes of this enormity of Climate Shift to planting seeds at at the Scripps Natural Supplement Conference reception with Dr. Tieraona Low Dog M.D. The rain began five minutes after we planted them. As I write this #PlantYourDreamBlog, my thoughts are filled with Takeaways from the Conference. Among these, I heard Mark Blumenthal, publisher of the HerbalGram Magazine, an old ally, mention that there had been a Frontline documentary the previous week about Supplements and Safety.
In this #PlantYourDreamBlog, I have researched some of the issues and you will find links.
These are the other Takeaways and inspirations I want to write about here:
I am grateful for an openness to my own offering, tending an altar where those here can do The Plant Your Dream Work. The photos tell the story. I have created a Facebook Album.
One reason we need an open dialogue and science, ethics and food
We are in a battle zone now where forces who do not financially benefit from the increased use of Natural Supplements are fighting back. This has been an ongoing issue with international entities wanting to dumb down the potential of supplements to improve house. It is our responsibility, as members of the Natural Product industry, to align with products that are evidence-based and have quality control.
It appears that the method of testing used in the recent investigation of supplement products as set forth by the New York Attorney General we're not adequate to accurately test. GMO barcode testing does not appear suitable for testing supplements and herbs according to some of my sources.
The movement toward Non-Gmo foods, and food transparency is part of the Pure Food Revolution. I am invested in this movement, following in the footsteps of other journalists and advocates within an outside government, who have dedicated their lives toward whole, pure, and natural health being seen as a foundation of healing.
BOTTOMLINE
There is a profound movement toward Healthy Healthcare. I have been witness to this movement since the early 70's both as an patient as well as a student of the natural healing arts, trained by a number of the esteemed elders of the last century.
My latest interest has been focused on the Annual San Diego Integrative Medicine conferences that have been influenced by Dr Ermina Guarneri M.D., who has created with her team the Academy of Integrated Health & Medicine, #AIHM16,
PRODUCTS, PEOPLE, AND AN UPCOMING EVENT THAT CAUGHT MY EYE AT THE SCRIPPS NATURAL PRODUCTS CONFERENCE

#AIHM16 was warm and inviting. I enjoyed planting dreams with staff members who are part of the Academy of Health and Medicine. I know the Fellowship will continue to bear a rich harvest in the lives of Health Practitioners committed to bring Healthy HealthCare to America. My training in the Natural Healing Arts began with studies with Dr Bernard Jensen and Edmond Szekely, two pioneers, in the Health Sanitarium Tradition in America. I want to educate about the insights they had they came from close study of the Book of Nature, as well as founding principles passed along by the Giants of Medicine, many of them M.D.'s in their time. #AIHM16 conference Oct 30-Nov 30 is a standout event and time for those invested in national health policy to reverse the trend toward Health care being Disease based and bankrupting us. As numbers pointed out at #ScrippsNatSup, Chronic Disease is on the rise in America. I have benefited from high quality Natural Supplements and herbal remedies and have many stories to tell.

VITAMIN L IS FOR LOVE
One of my Takeaways from the Scripps Natural Product Conference was having some great experiences interacting with the Seven Love Cures, Words Men Need to Know and Women Want to Hear. I left with the inspiration to move forward with producing an E Book of these powerful poems intended to be read out loud.
Hedi Sammons and her son were running the bookstore.
I had positive feedback and got some cheerleading for getting this material more than available.
I enjoyed reading One of the love cures to a young couple. Reading these poems out loud between couples is very healing.

“It will be a long time before Congress will successfully grapple with the facts…” Food Reform is Needed! —Alfred W. McCann,”The Science of Eating” and “Starving America” (1918,1919)

The Dumbing Down of America
#ScrippsNatSup . Thinking about the dumbing down of America through the standard American diet. Clearly numbers of the doctors at Scripps conference are coming up with evidence-based research about the origins of the obesity epidemic.
Number of the doctors were referencing results they are getting with turning around diabetes 2.
There is a whole other part of the equation and I'm not sure if science can truly validate this. Hundred years or more ago a man named VG Rocine identified no less than 18 chemical types of people. The hidden part of this was that the chemical type is dictated by the soul expression and what each person is intended to do as a #RareSeed.
Dr. Bernard Jensen my teacher was one of the favorite students of Rocine.
He was a master of seeing the hypo and hyper condition of the organs and identifying which foods reflecting a deeper chemistry could be used to balance each Organ.
Much of this work was reprinted in Jensen's book the chemistry of man.
So there's two parts to this equation. One is the assault that most of us are under by environmental impact as well as not knowing the detrimental effects of the standard American diet.
These are the facts now being clearly identified by the integrative medicine MDs.
It's through the book of nature and regaining our reconnection with nature that we become more sensitive to identifying our soul and it's impulses. Emerson was a master of recognizing the relationship between nature and the soul,
Take a look at his essay on the American scholar I believe it is called.
Of course there can only be anecdotal evidence about the soul types that Rocine identified and Jensen practiced for more than 65 years on 350,000 patients.
I am a pure neurogenic type. When I get a chance I will post the qualities from the book the chemistry of man. The report of the Nerogenic type identifies my expression and behavior close to 98%.
I making progress on completing my report. You can read about some of my inspirations here that came as a result of attending the Scripps natural supplements conference.

REMEMBERING CHARLOTTE TENNEY
I met Charotte Tenney, who died in 2015, in the closing moments of The Scripps Natural Product Conference 2015. She was a co-founder of the Trees for Health Garden in Balboa Park, a dedicated arboretum with more than 90 medicine trees.
The Trees for Life Garden has enriched my life. I would like to see others at future AIHMM related conferences be aware of it. It is located at Balboa Ave and Quince on the left side of the park.
How Dr. Bernard Jensen used Supplements
Dr. Bernard Jensen (1907-2001) was an elder of the Natural Healing Arts who left a body of material in more that 50 books, some extant, that deserves to be part of the future history of Integrative Medicine.
He was a pivotal figure studying with the older natural healing practitioners that came before him, and passing his information on this future generations. He died right before the digital age, and so many of his contributions need to be brought back to light.
How did he use supplements?
He was a master of the Reversal process. He understood how to help his patients return to health through using many of the time tested methods known by those before him that stand outside what we define as Modern Day Medicine in the Big Pharma approach.
When I worked with him as a patient, he used many supplements to jumpstart my healing process and show me what was possible, yet foremost he understood Food as Medicine. Food as Medicine is a slow process, yet a throughout approach.
When I first came to him in 1972, he I was already showing signs of crippling arthritis. We lived in a nature setting in the back country of Escondido at his Hidden Valley Health Ranch.
It was my path in life to experience surgery and hip replacements 1976 and later around 2001, Hip Revisions; yet truly my life has been a demonstration that natural remedies work,
We live in a time now when we have traveled so far away from Nature's Path that heroic measures are needed to help us "Survive This Day" ; and yet it is my Seed Dream that the wisdom he carried be transmitted to those who will help make the Medicine of Tomorrow the Medicine of Today.
I hope to contribute to a collaborative book with his grandson Jon Jensen,

KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE!
A Revival of the knowledge of Dr. Bernard Jensen will contribute to the Medicine of Tomorrow becoming the Medicine of Today

2001--HIP REVISIONS
I am grateful to conventional 20th century medicine for making it possible to walk again. I so believed in natural healing that I walked out of numbers of hip surgeries in the 70's believing I could heal my hips. I benefited from hip surgeries, but even then I was using natural remedies to get through the pain. When I was asked if I wanted morphine right after surgery I said no. I was able to get through using a Peach Bark Tea remedy provided by a local Utah native american whose work was still being practices.
When the original formula was prepared one way, it was a pain remedy; prepared another way, it healed digestive issues. This is part of the lost wisdom that modern science may not comprehend unless we regain our natural path.
Had I been born in another century, I would not be walking today; and yet over a period of more than 4 decades, I have applied natural healing remedies in place of drugs whenever possible.
Some of my most severe condition have been improved through these remedies.
I set an intention in 2001, when I had hip revision, that through my Getting Hip, Healthcare would Get Hip to Being All It Could Be.
I dedicate this writing toward that goal.
I have benefited from Natural Supplements. My health has improved since the #AIHM 2015 through finding supplements that helped reverse ongoing and persistent gut health issues.
There is more to say. I will do my best to say it.

HEADING FOR WASHINGTON D.C. 2011
The Campaign to Educate Washington on Real Food Safety began through a year of following the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act. It became clear that Food Safety to some extent meant making sure that investors investments were Safe.
This photo was kinda a spoof. It was taken in the Green Room Tent that was set up when Michelle Obama came to the International Rescue Committee Roots Garden on April 15, 2010 to announce her new initiative called, "Let's Move!" Michelle was in this tent about 30 minutes before I took this photo. Turned out I did get to Washington D.C. the following year, and I did speak at Organic Listening Day at the USDA. I made friends with the organizer, Mark Lipson. He wrote on a note, "Thanks for being our Enchanted Gardener! Then, the next eve,we were in Baltimore at a Gala put on by the Organic Trade Association. Mark was being given a leadership award! He spoke about the events at the USDA the day before. He said, "we even had an Enchanted Gardener show up! I was sitting in the audience, but he did not know it. I stood up and took a bow. Everyone clapped. What a hoot! Thanks to Kelly Shea of Horizon Organics for making it possible to take my first East Coast Tour.We were doing a Cultivating Food Justice event in about a week. The organizers from the California Foundation donated the boards when I asked for them.

2011--I made it to Washington D.C.
The photo is from my 2011 first East Coast tour. When I spoke at the USDA on organic listening day, the organizer welcomed me to be the Enchanted Gardener for the USDA. I believe now is the time and this is the moment to uplift healthy healthcare in America.
I will continue to participate in the dialogue, adding my ceremonial presence, poetry and personal experiences as a patient with lifelong chronic conditions, As a writer-blogger-photographer I have studied first hand with some of the greatest teachers in the field. My experience as a speaker wlll icontinue to inspire and create community.
