If it helps, I wrote this about 'changing' a few minutes ago...

What creativity!

Many people don't really DO the dietary improvements they read about, or grasp the concepts behind them.

Perhaps they make half-hearted attempts for a few days...until they realize that no one else in the family likes the change...let alone their friends...or commercial establishments.

I ran into problems, long before CureZone, with my son. I dropped 65 pounds by throwing out White Sugar and white flour (grinding my own, plus some other smaller changes), and my boy took his father's point-of-view..."Why do we have to have 'health' food?"

I'm not certain he heard my reply.

"If this is 'health' food, what is THAT stuff?" (Referring, of course, to the 'average' diet.)


Those barriers of seeming 'personal preferences' are bigger than we realize.


My second husband enlisted in the RCAF when he was 17. An only child, he had grown up quite picky in what he would eat...and in how it was to be prepared.

In the service he found that he could become quite hungry waiting for those foods to appear.

During WW II, much of the world changed their minds on diet, at least for the duration...unless they grew their own.

Even then, we have lost the wisdom of our forefathers in gardening. We plow.


Comes along an inventor like Sara, who has tried things herself, wonderfully creative, and with massive goodwill...people sit up and take notice.

Then begins our journey of discovery...one person, and one step, at a time...and the world changes.


I figure it's all about communication.

Either we'll hear, and DO, and pass on our best information...or we won't.


Lucky for all of us there are so many 'ways'.


My best, Kevin.

You are worth the best we know...all you know, and can find out.


Check out the organic growers' associations where you are.

I watched a bit of the discussion around Canada's part in the question of global warming last night.

Intelligent people, beautifully spoken...but what it came down to was what will people do, and what will happen then?

One person reminded the group that what the 'people' will do is a powerful component.

Doesn't it seem that there are points in our lives when we just ACT? ...Get out there and DO it?


I love Jane Goodall's essay...'Four Reasons for Hope'...

Jane Goodall — My Four Reasons for Hope


It is easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness as we look around the world. Is there, in fact, hope for Africa's future? Yes. Provided human populations develop programs that will stabilize, or optimize, their growth rate. It is very important to implement child healthcare programs along with family planning so that women can expect that their children will live - instead of knowing, as they do today, that many of them will die.

There are many signs of hope. Along a lakeshore in Tanzania, for example, villagers are planting trees where all the trees had disappeared. Women are taking more control over their lives, and, once they become better educated, then the birth rate begins to drop. And the children are being taught about the dire effects of habitat destruction. There is the terrible pollution around the world, the balance of nature is disturbed, and we are destroying our beautiful planet. There are fears of new epidemics for which there will be no drugs, and, rather than fight the cause, we torture millions of animals in the name of medical progress. But in spite of all this I do have hope. And my hope is based on three factors.

The Human Brain

Firstly, we have at last begun to understand and face up to the problems that threaten us and the survival of life on Earth as we know it. Surely, then, we can use our problem-solving abilities, our brains, and, joining hands around the world, find ways to live that are in harmony with nature. Indeed, many companies have begun "greening" their operations, and millions of people worldwide are beginning to realize that each one of us has a responsibility to the environment and our descendants, and that the way each one of us lives our life does matter, does make a difference.

The Determination of Young People

My second reason for hope lies in the tremendous energy, enthusiasm and commitment of a growing number of young people around the world. As they find out about the environmental and social problems that are now part of their heritage, they want to fight to right the wrongs. Of course they do - they have a vested interest in this, for it will be their world tomorrow. They will be moving into leadership positions, into the work force, becoming parents themselves. Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world.

The Indomitable Human Spirit

My third reason for hope lies in the indomitable nature of the human spirit. There are so many people who have dreamed seemingly unattainable dreams and, because they never gave up, achieved their goals against all the odds, or blazed a path along which others could follow. As I travel around the world I meet so many incredible and amazing human beings. They inspire me. They inspire those around them.

The Resilience of Nature

My fourth reason for hope is the incredible resilience of nature. I have visited Nagasaki, site of the second atomic bomb that ended World War II. Scientists had predicted that nothing could grow there for at least 30 years. But, amazingly, greenery grew very quickly. One sapling actually managed to survive the bombing, and today it is a large tree, with great cracks and fissures, all black inside; but that tree still produces leaves. I carry one of those leaves with me as a powerful symbol of hope. I have seen such renewals time and again, including animal species brought back from the brink of extinction.

So let us move into the next millennium with hope, for without it all we can do is eat and drink the last of our resources as we watch our planet slowly die. Instead, let us have faith in ourselves, in our intellect, in our staunch spirit. Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace impatience and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.

Each of us will find our own way...and share.

That's powerful.

at least oil pulling isnt punishing while building up to the benefits! the Liver Flush with Epsom Salts comes to mind.
