Genetically Modified Organisms Not A Good Thing, Let Me Tell Ya

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

One thing that really bothers me and should bother you is what they are doing to our seeds and plants today.  This altering the seeds to what ever  one wants seems like a good thing on the surface but in reality it is a way for the Pharmaceutical companies to do what ever they want with our health.   Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what their up to.   My Opinion Only

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the result of laboratory processes which artificially insert foreign genes into the DNA of food crops or animals. Those genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Although banned by food manufacturers in Europe and elsewhere, the FDA does not require any safety evaluations. Most  Americans say they would not eat GMOs if labeled, but the U.S. does not require labeling. GMOs are not safe, but have been in the food supply since 1996 and are now present in the vast majority of processed foods in the US and Canada. My advice is not to eat any of it and refrain from buying GMO seeds or plants from your garden centre.

Tips For Drinking Water

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

For Folks that live in the city and don’t have goood well water here is what I suggest they should be doing for their drinking water as drinking plenty of good, clean water is important for a healthy body.
Bottled Water: Drink filtered tap water instead.

You can read the bottle label, but you still won’t know if the water is pure and natural, or just
processed, polluted, packaged tap water. EWG found 38 contaminants in 10 popular brands.

Tap Water: Learn what’s in it.
Tap water suppliers publish all their water quality tests. Bottled water companies don’t. Read
your annual tap water quality report.  Get it tested.)

Filtered Tap Water: Drink it, cook with it.
• Choose a filter certified to remove contaminants found in your water:
Effectiveness varies – read the fine print.
• Carbon filters (pitcher or tap-mounted) are affordable and reduce many common water contaminants, like lead
and byproducts of the disinfection process used to treat municipal tap water.
• Install a reverse osmosis filter if you can afford it, to remove contaminants that carbon filters can’t eliminate, like
arsenic and perchlorate (rocket fuel).
Filters: Change them.
Change your water filters on time. Old filters aren’t safe – they harbor bacteria and let contaminants through.

On the Go: Carry water in safe containers.
Hard plastic bottles (#7 plastic) can leach a harmful plastics chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) into water. Carry stain-
less steel or other BPA-free bottles. Don’t reuse bottled water bottles. The plastic can harbor bacteria
and break down to release plastics chemicals.
While Pregnant: Stay hydrated with safe water.
It’s especially important for women to drink plenty of water during pregnancy. Follow all the tips
above.
Infants: Use safe water for formula.
Use filtered tap water for your baby’s formula. If your water is not fluoridated, you can use a
carbon filter. If it is, use a reverse osmosis filter to remove the fluoride, because fluoridated water
can damage an infant’s developing teeth. If you choose bottled water for your infant, make sure it’s
fluoride-free.

Breathe Easy: Use a whole house water filter.
For extra protection, a whole house carbon filter will remove contaminants from steamy vapors you
and your family inhale while showering and washing dishes.

Now if none of these strike your fancy, find a nice home in the country with a good drilled well and move there.  Simple as that.  It’s all boils down too you and how important you think your health is worth.

But isn’t it a shame, that what once was a world of fresh clean water provided by good old Mother Nature, now for most parts is unsafe to drink, thanks to humans messing things up.

ASPARTAME & Its Ill Effects

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

For many it seems that what ever our Powers That Be tells them they think it is gospel.  Well don’t be fooled.

‘If you are using ASPARTAME (Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from these symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, Cramps, Vertigo, Dizziness, Headaches, Tinnitus, Joint pain, Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!’  Hard to believe I am sure, but this in my eyes is one of the worst things you could be using. To prove what I have just said one has to just take a spoon full of ASPARTAME, pour it over an ant hill and see what happens.  First off the ants love it as it is sweet like humans.  They then take it back to their nests and in short week the whole nest dies.    Now if that doesn’t tell you something and you keep on eating it, well…………………I gotta’ say there is something wrong with you.

Mold & What To Do About It

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Today most folks or the Powers That Be say Mold isn’t good for you.  I suspect in some cases they are right, but for us living in the country or on the farm it has been part of us for most our lives.  Where ever there is dampness one will find mold.  I am inclined to believe that if you haven’t grown up with it, well then it will bother some of you as your body hasn’t become accustomed to it.  For those though that doesn’t want it around I have found a simple way of getting rid of it on your basement walls or where ever.  What to do is, just take some  good old Borax, you know the box with the old mules on it, mix some up, put it in a spray bottle and get to spraying your walls and things. None Toxic and Problem solved.    Now for those that is getting lazy and gathering mold sitting around the house, well sunshine is the answer to that.  Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t have said like that, but…….wouldn’t be me if I didn’t.

Ticks & Treatments

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Here is some advice that a friend of mine says will help with that  Tick problem, as my Sister was saying they had a problem with them out west.  Not sure if this helps but thought I would put it out there.  Good thing is that it is help without using all them pesticides that might be worse for you than the ticks themselves.

MANAGEMENT® AND CONTROL OF TICKS
Inspection (Be very thorough.)
Deer ticks are as tiny as a freckle and hard to spot- dog ticks maybe about as large as a match head. Both
like to burrow in along the hairline – so carefully look and feel along the back of your neck, around your ears
and forehead and those of your pets and children, especially in the hair.
Look in rooms where dogs sleep, under the edge of rugs, under furniture, in cracks around baseboards,
window and door frames, in dog boxes.
Ticks prefer still, damp, shady areas, so turn on the lights and dehumidifier and fans.
Habitat Alteration and Control (They prefer shady areas.)
Advise occupants to:
Forget modesty: Thoroughly and carefully inspect pets, children and one another regularly (at least once a
day) for ticks. Try lightly using Safe Solutions Insect Repellent, neem oil, food-grade diatomaceous earth
in your pet’s fur or menthol on their fur as a repellent.
Wash dog bedding frequently with Safe Solutions Pet Wash or their enzyme cleaner with sodium borate.
Keep grass cut short around buildings and paths and vegetation trimmed. Screen and caulk. Keeping
grass cut under 3” in height lowers the humidity at ground level making it difficult for ticks to survive desic-
cation and their predators.
Keep stray dogs and wildlife out of the yard. Fence your yard. Remove all underbrush and shrubs.
As a last resort have a veterinarian treat pets using pesticidal dips, washes or dusts. Do not let small
children play with dogs that have been recently treated. Try bathing pets with Safe Solutions Pet Wash
or their enzyme cleaner with peppermint or even menthol or with food-grade DE first.
Inside:
Caulk/seal all tiny spaces, crack and crevices where ticks hide. Don’t forget to check behind mop boards,
moldings, frames and baseboards, in furniture and carpets and rugs and inside window pulley openings.
Lightly dust with food-grade DE, boric acid, table salt, baking soda, talcum powder, medicated body pow-
der or powdered sulphur or Comet®. Spray Not Nice to Bugs® or diluted enzyme cleaners as needed.
Vacuum daily under the edge of rugs, under furniture, in cracks around baseboards, window and door
frames, in dog boxes. Try spraying and/or cleaning with 1 oz. diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. enzyme cleaners
per 1 qt.water and/or peppermint soaps or menthol soaps and/or 1 tablespoon of borax or salt and 1
tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide (Caution: This mix will cause discoloration of certain fabrics,
paints, colors, etc.) or routinely steam clean the entire area.
Routinely launder your pet’s bedding with diluted Safe Solutions, Inc. enzyme cleaner and borax and groom
your pets. Then lightly dust with Safe Solutions Food-grade DE.
Fogging for ticks with volatile pesticide poisons is useless and dangerous.
Outside:
Keep grass, weeds, shrubs and brush cut short and severely trimmed or cultivated wherever you walk or
play.
Practice proper sanitation. Remove clutter and debris.
Avoid tick infested areas and/or wear appropriate clothing.
Seal all cracks, crevices and other openings into your home or buildings. Remove leaf litter and debris.
Make tick flags, drags and/or traps; keep grass and brush trimmed and routinely sprayed with diluted
enzyme cleaner using a hose-end sprayer, or lightly dusted with powdered lime or medicated body powder
and/or sulphur. Remember, the shaded areas usually produce the most ticks.
Raise and allow Guinea hens roam free for them to search out and destroy ticks.
Read and utilize this Master IPM Planning Manual.
Follow-up – It is important that everyone know that dogs should be protected or inspected daily even after
treatment since eggs can take 30 days to hatch. Take time to assure occupants that brown dog ticks do not normally bite humans and will, therefore, not transmit a disease. The fear of Lyme disease can create
hysteria and a desire for overkill; explain that the brown dog tick does not spread Lyme disease.

Help For Diabetes

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

I have spoken quite often to folks at different engagements on Diabetes, in how to treat it and eliminate it from your system.  For most parts Diabetes has been brought on to us humans from the foods we eat.  The quickest cure would be to get off all processed foods, especially the meats. Once you do that, get to soaking some good old white navy beans in a pot with some sea salt over night and then put them into your slow cooker for an afternoon, stirring them every once in awhile. Some fresh herbs thrown in for taste would help too. Beans contain carbohydrates along with as much protein as an ounce of meat, good protein. Beans also contain magnesium and fiber. If you do these two things, I seriously believe your Diabetes will just dissapear, not over night, as one has to remember how long one has been abusing ones body.  I would say in two months, you would be seeing an improvement that would make you sit up and say hey!  Dam that was simple>  Remember folks, you are what you eat, and more so you are what you absorb through your skin. So do the research, then get to looking after yourself.  I should also say that when I say looking after yourself, I mean looking after yourself. Don’t believe everything that these so called Powers That Be is tellin’ you to be the  truth, as in my eyes it isn’t.  You do it, you learn, I know you can.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a problem that has been around for years.  For most parts I have found that it is caused by not getting enough Vitamin D.  Where does one get Vitamin D other than from pills. Simple, the sun. Today folks sit in there ever protective homes thinking that the sun is bad for them, as…..well, that is what they have been told, by our so called Powers That Be.   What one has to do is stop listening to everything that is told to them and start learning how to look after them selves.  As I have said many times before, I really believe that there is a cure for any disease using nature.  Thing is, most don’t know where to look. One plant that has helped millions over the years is called Comfrey.  I have over twenty five plants now growing around my home and wouldn’t head on into a summer or winter with out it.  Some say it is dangerous to use internally, some say not. For me though I don’t use it internally, but externally I do and have found it to help with all kinds of problems, from broken bones, sprains, torn ligaments, cuts, bruises, you name it.  If one would just take a few leaves grinding them up and then spreading it on your Arthritis joints, you would soon see an amazing thing begin to happen.  Fist the relief of pain, then with some sunshine added  and a few months most would just disappear  Hard to believe I know, but I know many a folks that swears by it including myself.  Old saying is.  Worked For Me.  Take care and get out there in the sunshine this spring and let that sunshine get to your skin.  A little at a time, and your skin will toughen up, and burns will be a thing of the past.  Your body will love you for it.

Are Season Flu Vaccines Makining Folks Sick ???

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Well been awhile since I gave my two cents about anything really, here at the Blog, reason being I have just been busy, along with a few other things.  But for most parts they are being handled.  I had a fellow come to me the other day to actually thank me for all the info I put on here about the Swine Flu.  Made my day.   Goes to show you though, how wrong our system is, as this was suppose to be one of the biggest pandemics of all times, or so the pharmaceutical companies were telling us and would like you to believe.  Thing is folks, think about this.  The vaccine that is out there now is being returned, as they say it has lost its effect.  Let me tell ya, I believe there is more wrong with it than just that.  Take a look at  this article.

This result, which virtually all the top natural health writers openly predicted last year, apparently stunned the researchers. As explained in the published study, “Danuta Skowronski and colleagues report the unexpected results of a series of Canadian epidemiological studies suggesting a counterproductive effect of the vaccine.”

In this case, “counterproductive effect” of the vaccine means that it works against you. Getting the vaccine shot appears to actually make you MORE susceptible to being infected with (and potentially killed by) a future pandemic.

Getting a vaccine shot could actually result in you being killed by the next seasonal flu or pandemic outbreak that comes along.

For the life of me I can’t begin to understand, why so many folks are getting these shots.  There is more proof out there that says its dangerous, but yet most subject their body to it day after day.  Amazing really, as a simple dose of vitamin D would be all you really needed.  This is the time of year folks to start your defence against the flu.  Get out there this spring, toughen up your skin a bit each day by being in the sun. Then when summer hits let it all soak in.  If you do that come Fall you will be in perfect health and the flu will be the last thing on your mind.

Here is a link for you to listen too I am not into rap that much so don’t get me wrong but this feller does have a way about him of getting his message across> Just click the link and take a look.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiXm…
