CDC admits Kids Get to Much Sugar?

Yes, you read that correctly. However, we think it is highly unlikely at this point that anything will change, unless parents make the choice on a local level to educate and inform.  When my kids get sugar they go crazy, therefore, we don't allow it on a daily basis. If it is reserved only for special occasion we could almost guarantee that rates of ADD and ADHD would plummet.

Silver is Money

 I always love when one of my present day hero's launches an attack on the FED. Ron Paul exposes Ben Bernanke again with what nature provides as a natural store of wealth. For healing to take place on a massive scale worldwide we must have a sound currency that offers preservation of wealth. This currency must also help to prevent inflation in a central banking managed market. Silver and Gold have always done this and I pray for the return of sane, sound money, for the healing of the future generations.

Top Foods to Avoid Containing Gluten

 As I told someone yesterday, "This talk about gluten is not a new health fad." The talk about gluten is a natural result of commercialization of the food industry. At the top you have government subsidies that make the industrialization of the food industry a mammoth of a beast that is hard to contend with. If you have gluten sensitivities the please avoid as much of these foods as possible for your own health.

Fish Oils for the Brain

 Most people are unaware that the brain is a fatty organ that requires good fats from the diet to maintain optimal health. Fish oils help with almost every age related decline in health seen in the vast majority of Americans today. I don't know anyone who wouldn't want a better memory or to prevent a lot of common issues that can be solved by essential fats.

Monsanto Wins Again

Monsanto has got to be one of the most corrupt companies known to man. Between the Federal Reserve controlling the money and Monsanto controlling the food, how much freedom of choice do we really have in our pursuit of happiness. WE can change this if we choose to learn.

Milk -- Dr. Hugo Rodier Answers

Milk. It has it's ups and downs and it is mostly downs these days. Milk has become processed to the extent that it really is a bad option as beverage or food on a daily basis. I allow the kids to drink goat milk, but mainly because it is a different protein milk that does not seem to have near the health effects, aside from that, they are allergic to cow's dairy anyway. Check out the following article from a doctor I like on milk. Enjoy

A Broken Heart Can Break Your Life

Emotions will create issues in the body that can devastate even the healthiest people. I have watched my mother survive two heart attacks because of emotional distress. Although, there was no physical damage, gratefully, the severity of stress from an emotional impact can overwhelm the best of us. We must all learn how to take care of ourselves, and admit when we could use help processing. Herbs, essential oils, and flower essences all offer a way to support people's emotions while not numbing you to the pain of loss. The natural world will always mend you heart if you choose to heal it.

Vitamin D and Cancer

How is it that sunlight is beneficial to your health, when for years the establishment wanted to scare everybody to death for being in the sunlight? How is it that vitamins and minerals do more to keep your body healthy and help to prevent cancer, yet are not taken seriously? Could there be other motives at play? I have long said that I cannot find a reason not to take vitamin D, and science continues to verify that. Enjoy

Bird Flu a little Sparrow of a thing?

Turns out the paranoia that WHO and the CDC projected into the world is really not as substantiated as previously thought. I cannot imagine that this was the case..."sarcasm on" I guess they may think it is better to be safe than sorry. Of course, if it stimulates a certain segment of the economy, oh I don't know, maybe big pharma it has to be worth it for someone. Right?

Be Careful With That Scalpel Man!!

I guess many of you would love to know that 1 in 6 surgeons have issues with alcohol.
Is it not a sad state of affairs when the very people that we are taught to trust when cutting on us could be under the influence. This actually is not surprising as most doctors are as medicated as their patients if not also under the influence of alcohol or other inhibiting addictions. At some point the system will collapse under it's on weight. We pray for that sooner than later.

Eat the food..Who cares if it destroys your DNA!!

Once again studies show that Monsanto's famous Roundup herbicide is highly toxic. Even diluted by up to 99.8% it still can destroy human DNA! How could you ever justify spraying the food of a country with something that destroys the DNA of everyone who gets around it or ingest it. Maybe now you understand the reason I harp on keeping your liver in top shape.
We are going to come into contact with toxins constantly and our liver's ability to work properly is crucial in making sure our body is a clean as possible.

You may not be drugged enough as it is.

Big Pharma is at it again. The president has issued an executive order for the FDA to address shortages. Is it really the place for the government to get involved making sure that the American people have enough drugs? Can't the free market solve this on it's own. What if big pharma was more transparent? What if every doctor was required to tell people all the possible side effects? What if doctors would post the question to patients on if they really think it would be a good idea to take such dangerous medications. Maybe I have to high a hopes. Maybe I hope that people choose to solve their problems naturally to the best of their ability first. Ahhh... What a different world that would be.

Parsley has been used as a very effective diuretic herb for quite some while. You will find parsley in most of the more effective diuretic products on the market. Another use for parsley, aside from the effects on the kidneys, is it's ability to dry up breast milk in mothers that are finished with breastfeeding. Sage is also another good alternative for that as well.
So the next time you see that parsley garnishing your favorite dish, go ahead and eat if it is organic. Then, maybe you won't have as much water retention from the salt in your meal. Enjoy.

The Myth of High Cholesterol

 High Cholesterol was a disease invented by big pharma! Cholesterol produces many desirable effects in the body. Whether it is plugging up leaky arteries, or turning into bile salts for supporting proper digestion, it has it's purpose. Also, most of you will probably know by now that statin drugs are toxic to the liver. Statin medications also rip certain minerals and nutrients from the body that have many positive effects for overall cardiovascular health. In fact, it has been proving that cholesterol that is too low increases your risk for cancer! Oh, the tangled web we weave when we let big pharma take over the body. Check these articles out to change your perception on the present myth.

Raw Milk Safer than Pasteurized?

If our ancestors never had any problem with raw cows milk or raw goat or sheep milk, then why did we have to change it. Mainly, because there was a profit to be "milked" out of it. Even on his death bed, Louis Pasteur told us the germ is nothing and the terrain is everything. Therefore, we could only see that it would raise the level of unemployment if we knew that a federal agency would be useless considering that Pasteur was debunked when it comes to Pasteurization. Enjoy these articles.

Is the lipstick really worth it ladies. I am a huge fan of natural beauty, and it just so turns out

Super Bugs beating Antibiotics

We have been harping on this very subject for years and now it is pushing into the mainstream more and more. There is no doubt that antibiotics have been used to save people's lives in the past from horrible infections. We are not completely opposed to the use of antibiotics either. We do feel that the overuse of antibiotics because of profit motive is going to bring the health industry exactly what they deserve though. They have cultivated bugs that only nature will be able to balance out. Reading this article will help you realize the reason we have to start using Silver Sol, Oregano, Golden Seal, Echinacea, and Garlic a lot more just to name a few. If you have not learned how to treat everybody in your family yet with nature's antibiotics then we suggest making it a priority the next time you are dealing with an infection. Help herbalist everywhere fix what profit motive's drove out of balance. Nature has the key.

Emotions and Liver Health

Whether we are studying the traditions of Native American or Toltec medicine or Eastern philosophies like Traditional Chinese Medicine there are many similarities. A glaring similarity is the relationship of the seat of our personal power or "will" center being associated within the liver area. This energetic seat of power is regulated by proper liver function. Now, don't get me wrong, this really has nothing to do with literal liver function, but more the energetic function that the liver regulates. The liver is in charge of harmonizing and regulating energy to every energetic organ system in the body. If you are sad or depressed, chances are you have stagnant liver energy. Think of a swampy water. If you are mad or angry then we could say you more energy than your liver can regulate exploding through you. Think of a volcano that can not be held back anymore.  Are you having a hard time sleeping between the hours of 1-3 a.m.? This is your liver meridian time of the day and it is showing you that it is not balanced.

GMO Corn in a Wal-Mart near you

GMO foods are commonplace in today's world. They have been slipped past the lazy eye of Americans while we thought our government agencies were protecting us from such garbage. Most European countries require labeling for the food, and have overwhelmingly rejected man-made for nature. Maybe we will wake up and do the same.

Trust me -- Big Pharma does not like this

I love silver. Silver, aside from gold, is a currency and holder of value. It has always been a staple of a "Healthy" free market economy. One tenth of an ounce of silver has always marked a good days labor anytime the currency was based on a gold or silver standard. Yet, establishing transparency for services and daily wages is not all this magic metal is good for. Silver is a broad spectrum disinfectant, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and more. We could say it is a wonder of the elemental kingdom. We beg to ask the question - What is the reason you would not use it to kill something that kills millions of people worldwide? What would you not want to use what is natural to this world to kill something that is natural to this world?
I bet you know the answer to that. HIIII OOOO SILVER AWAY!!!

Test Tube Food !!

No longer will we source our food from nature, we will just grow it in a test tube and feed it to you. We are sure that the FDA will skip on making companies label their food as "test tube" grown, unless, we the consumer demand transparency. Although this food will probably make it into our food supply, (probably already has) our government and extremist groups will somehow shape the debate for eating man-made lab foods. Man obviously makes everything better than nature ever could. Humanity is working very hard to reach the apex of arrogance.

First Post.... Here Goes

Well, here goes. The Hybrid Herbalist is ready for the first launch attempt. I do not know how this site will officially evolve, however, I pray that it will be a source of great information for all of those who come here. It is the intent of this blog to be a training ground for the future. The days of humanity sitting in the backseat while big business drives our lives are numbered. We will all want sources of information that are close to home that help us feel connected to one another. We have remained distant from one another for far too long. We have also left our biggest healing source when moving away from nature. I do not have a crystal ball, but boy if I did, I think it would be showing me right now that it is time for us to reclaim our health, freedom, and prosperity. In essence, reclaim our Power.
While my life has been in pursuit of freedom and power and healing I have learned many things on the way. It is my intent to share with you what I know from experience. I am a husband, father, son, healer, teacher, lover, friend, and many other things, but I am energy first.
