Exposing the System

It is with great joy that we can share with you the many ways in which Integrity is coming back to balance life here on our Planet. For years now the food industry has gotten away with poisoning our food chain and feeding us "slime". Because consumers have been too trusting of "big ag" they have basically been silently feed food that nobody would ever feed themselves or kids if they knew the truth. Well, here is another dose of truth for you and another sign that transparency has great side effects.
BPI, which is a company that creates "pink slime", has now shut down 3 of it's 4 manufacturing plants because of consumer backlash. It turns out that nobody wants slime in their meat. However, the media is turning this story around and lashing out at consumers and siding with the pink slime industry. Maybe now this will give another opportunity for people to turn off the T.V. which is blatantly lying to people and turn to the growing source of independent journalist and bloggers on the internet to get the truth.
When big business is protected by the media to continue feeding us crap, I would say it is possible the current system will continue doing what I have hoped for. I have hoped for the system to become irrelevant being buried under the weight of it's own stupidity. Maybe now that is happening.

Hospitals = Death Trap?

I have said for years that going to a hospital increases your risk of getting sick, much less a premature death. Hospitals are incredibly hostile to healthy people. The threat of being over drugged, or contracting a deadly bacterial infection happen all to often. If you are elderly, then you are one of the most at risk population groups. If you must go to the hospital for any reason please remember to make it your intent to get out of there ASAP. You could save your own life.

Flower Power

                                     
Flower's are easily noticeable as some of our most powerful manifestations of the natural plant world. They have been given as a symbol of love for centuries. They have embodied healing potential in the forms of oils, essences, teas, and herbal healing for just as long. Yet, with all of the ways flowers can benefit us, how many have ever looked at the power of a flower?

Vaccine's Really Don't Do What We Thought.

I always love when we start seeing the old control mechanisms breaking down. If vaccines don't do what they are said to do, then please tell me what in the world would we ever get them for?  Question the system, as it is not built on the foundation once thought.

Do Vaccine's really Work?

Do you really want the answer? I suppose since you have made it to this blog we might as well just give you our version of the scoop. Personally, I think most all vaccines are bogus. I have yet to see any creditable information that has ever warranted me to say that I must get a vaccine for anything, much less my kids, (who are vaccine free I might add.) Yet, I must be some kinda of anomaly as well as my kids because they seem to be doing just fine, and I haven't had any major illness that warranted a vaccine my entire life. However, I digress from the main point of just putting some information out there for you to continue your own search for answers and healing. I hope you are ready.

The Liver and Weight Loss

As most of you know by now, I am a huge fan of promoting liver health. I cannot stress the importance enough. This one organ is largely responsible for more biochemical functions in your body than anything else. When your liver becomes a toxic warehouse you can forget the opportunity to achieve optimal health. How will you lose weight, how will your skin looks it's best, how will your digestion happen, how will your mood be regulated, and how will your energy systems work properly if your liver is in poor health. Last night while teaching I posed the question to the class of (Do you clean your toilet?) Everybody kinda laughed at the question, however, everybody said yes. I talked about how we are so diligent when it comes to cleaning our toilet. This is the receptacle that catches the toxins from your body and yet we spend more time making sure our toilet is clean vs. how clean our body is. We talked about how embarrassing it would be to have company over and offer and unclean toilet for them to sit on. Nobody in their right mind would do that. Yet, we externalize our cleaning tendencies to make sure our house, car, and toilets are clean because we like a clean environment to live in. How about taking that same care to make sure the body that you are inhabiting is just as clean so that you may enjoy a clean environment.

Radiation Makes Cancer Cells More Potent!

In a recently published study on the effects of radiation on cancer cells, it was found that radiation used on breast cancer cells has the ability to make other cancer cells 30 times more potent. This is kind of like taking antibiotics and creating drug resistant super bugs. This proves once again for the ump-teenth time that modern medicine is still missing the boat when it comes to treating and curing cancer. All herbalist have know for a long time that cancer can only grow in an environment that allows for it's growth. Therefore, if you change the terrain then you change what lives there. You can do this without poisoning the body at the same time. This continues to indict the medical community, in my opinion, on the fact that they don't really want to cure cancer, just merely make more money off it. Remember there is no money in curing. The corruption of our society must change if we are ever to have a chance at true health once again. Please read and share.

A Sick Corporate Culture -- Warning--Disgusting

Of all the things that humanity continues to allow this is one that makes your stomach turn and your blood boil. The first time I started to hear about this I was kind of in shock. It was as if I were reading something that couldn't possibly be true and yet it turns out to be accepted as a way to streamline business. AND !!!! OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWS IT AND CLASSIFIES IT AS NORMAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS. 
So, do you want to know what it is??   Apparently Nestle, Kraft and Pepsi Co, just to name a few have partnered with a company called Senomyx. Senomyx helps these major brands to develop enhanced flavoring chemicals to addict you to their products using HUMAN ABORTED FETAL CELLS!!! These major companies have now pushed the envelope to a completely disgusting business practice. The whole point behind this is to get you addicted to what they are selling you. I don't know how anyone could use products from any of these companies knowing that at some point you will be eating or drinking something that was tested on aborted fetal cells. If they know how these cells respond then they can have a good idea of just how much poison they can put into your body and get away with it. This is your food supply America. It is time to make a choice. We either come together and take our power back or we will slip into a state of unrecoverable moral decay that our kids will have to fester in.
To me the choice is obvious. What will you do? Also, on a side note, this story broke last year and I have heard nothing about until now. This must mean that our "elites" in the media don't think it is newsworthy enough to blow the whistle of these major companies. I have nothing else to say at this point.

Do you have a Healing Doctor or Deadly Doctor?

Modern Medicine is largely based on putting toxic chemicals into the body to shut down the bodies ability to feel symptoms. These symptoms, which are necessary, are looked at as evil vs. our body warning us that our health is in possible decline or jeopardy. Doctors are trained to identify symptoms, label them, then put you on a drug that blocks your bodies ability to heal the symptom. I think that most medical doctors, unless they are incredibly naive, would say that is the basic routine. They are very skilled in the arts of detection. They get great training that supports their ability to play detective within the chemistry of the body. However, once the diagnosis is readied you are then made to believe that only a man made toxic chemical is your cure. Yet, how in the world does toxicity cure the body. They would say if you don't feel it, then you are cured. Yet, if you were to take an herb for the same issue and received healing, then you are merely fooling yourself into believing that anything nature has to offer is mere placebo and nature can't possibly trump man's knowledge. Then, if you are to question your doctor about a treatment or possibly refuse a treatment or vaccine they may kick you out of their office or refuse to see you. Can anyone please tell me what is going on in our society to where it is necessary for you to give your authority over to someone who has been trained to prescribe toxins to you, then kick you out or refuse to see you once you question them?

Herbs For a Healthy Urinary System

 The urinary system is responsible for many functions in the body. The balance of minerals, the filtering of the blood and maintaining proper fluid balance are but a few of the functions that the urinary system works to control. We wanted to post this article today written by Steven Horne, which in my opinion is one of the best herbal teachers in the country today. He has a great ability to take the complex and make very understandable and applicable for someone's life. Enjoy

The Deadly Aspartame

Ahhhh. The need for excess... It is a constant in our society, as it even makes it way into our food. The more exciting or riveting something taste, the more we want of it. When you look at the way the food industry puts excito-toxins into our food to make something taste better or more unique, look no further than the money involved. Aspartame is riddled with a history full of conspiracy fact, and yet the government protects it better than our civil liberties. I suggest you read your labels and make sure you are not working with anything that degrades your health like this deadly neurotoxin.

The Dangers of No Sleep!

 Sleep is necessary! Your body has to have it. Insomnia affect millions in this country. From carrying to much stress, to an excessive life style, to lack of discipline, all of which will result in leading to sleep issues. There are many processes that take place in the body that create a normalizing effect while we sleep. This recharging will help you to live a higher quality of life in every way. We enjoyed this article yet we would disagree with the conclusions. We would never send you to see the doctor but instead send you to your local herbalist to get Passion Flower, or Hops, or Valerian, or Kava, or a mixture of some of these great sleep supporting herbs. Also, we would accept the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine that says, work with your liver....!! The liver meridian time of day is 1-3 am. This is when you will see the majority of everybody waking up. You can work to harmonize your body by harmonizing energy flow through the liver. It works better than any medication without the side effects. Enjoy!

Dr. Comes Forward to Renounce Heart Health Practices!

It is always thrilling to see people walk away from or renounce something that they know has no integrity. In the health industry this usually means people get more healthier.... at least we hope.
We applaud the integrity and courage that it takes for doctors to walk away and expose the system for what it is. We can only pray that this becomes a mass exodus of doctors at some point so that the new paradigm can start, which we feel would have your doctor and herbalist working side by side. Also we just want to remind you to check out the older post that was published about the Hoax of Cholesterol and bridge that knowledge to this article and you will have some tools to start changing your heart health now.

CoQ10 Prevents Heart Disease

I have seen the benefits of CoQ10 for many years. My mother has gone through 2 emotional heart attacks, that were actual heart attacks, yet she suffered no damage at all. My wife has had previous issues with her heart as well and CoQ10 has helped her for years to balance out her heart rate while supporting the building process for her heart as well. Not only does CoQ10 support heart health but it also supports gum health as well. The gums and heart are made from the same tissue in the body. Therefore, when we have people that are dealing with gum issues, CoQ10 is part of the protocol we may use to support the gums back to health. The information for CoQ10 that has come out over the past several years has, in my opinion, changed the way we prevent and treat heart disease. Enjoy!

Lemon - A Zest for Health!

Lemon is perhaps one of the more easily recognized scents and taste to a large portion of the world. We love it in our water or zested onto our food or just to smell that uplifting aroma. Did you know however that the Essential Oil of Lemon has tremendous health benefits as well?
Lemon carries the following properties: Anticancer, antidepressant, antiseptic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent, mild diuretic, immune tonic, lymphatic decongestant, pancreatic stimulant, invigorating and refreshing.

Lemon Oil has been documented to be helpful with:  anxiety, blood pressure, clarity of thought, digestive problems, energy, gallstones, kidney stones, promoting new blood cell growth, lymphatic system cleansing, memory improvement, can lower blood pressure, assist in liver detox,  and relief of muscle aches and pains, cleansing and repair of skin injuries, decreases intestinal parasites, sore throat and sinus repair, pain relief of arthritis and rheumatism, and water purification. 

In France, physicians treat disorders such as diabetes, gonorrhea, high blood pressure, malaria, syphilis, tuberculosis and typhoid with lemon oil. It fights the infection of bronchitis, coughs (a few drops in mouth work quickly) and sore throats and relieves the discomfort of colds, fevers, and flu.  It can also prevent most asthma attacks (rubbing on the throat and chest and inhaling calms the tightness of the chest and opens the capillaries so the lungs can process oxygen). Because lemon oil can kill bacteria and other germs in minutes, many European hospitals use it to sanitize hospital rooms and kill airborne germs.  

Humility - The Cornerstone of Strength

Humility. What is it? Do you move in relationship with it? Do you sense it as an active component to your life?

I like to define humility as a "feeling" of gratitude at a heart level. While moving in the world with this feeling we can become aware of the incredible opportunity that living in the world today has to offer us.
We are seeing extremes in every facet of life. The world is changing so fast that we can use that transition to feel a greater sense of humility within our life in the ways that we have the opportunity to grow and be. In the American culture it is common for us to lose this feeling very often as the desire and "need" for more and more leave us with a sense of emptyness inside. If we can move in our life in such a way as to feel the power in our gifts and talents and utilize them with integrity, then life can become an amazing adventure of "surrender" into who we are at a level that transcends the ability to verbalize.

Does your Cupboard hold Rancid Foods?

While most Americans have worked to make the switch to a healthy lifestyle by moving away from trans fats, another issue has been created. Because of the way food had been prepared and preserved we became accustom to our foods lasting for quite a while after purchased. This habit has lead us to believe for the most part that we are making healthier choices, which we are, yet these healthier choices do not last near as long and are meant to be used up quicker. If that Olive Oil or Flax Seed Oil has been sitting on the shelf for a while, there is a good chance it has gone rancid. This can start a series of problems based of using rancid ingredients in our meals. So while we think we are making a healthier choice, we could be hurting our health by not consuming those healthier ingredients in a fast enough time line. Therefore, the mantra of "Buy what you can use" when it comes to oils and fats specifically, will help you to stay healthier.

Healing - The Road to Balance

Whether you are aware of it or not you are ENERGY. The only thing that differentiates you from anything thing else is the way in which your energy has come together to create you. Just like the stones, trees or animals there are strengths and weaknesses that you possess. Learning about those strengths or weaknesses is what allows you the ability to balance your life and energy. Most people have problems admitting their weaknesses. If this is this case for you, then how will you ever turn those weaknesses into strengths? How will you truly be able to create balance in yourself without honesty?
Nobody ever said it would be easy, yet it can be a graceful process if you allow for humility to be your guide.

Dangers of Diagnosis

While writing this article, I think it is clear to remember that the approach I take to healing and understanding the body is vastly different from what the majority of Americans have been taught. In this country, for some weird reason, we delight in naming our maladies. Most people want their problems to be defined in one word like bronchitis, arthritis, diabetes or IBS. Once the imbalance has been diagnosed, most fall victim to it feeling powerless to change it. Yet, how can we possibly be defined by one word when our bodies are more complex and there still exist a vast mystery on what science truly knows about the body. It is usually a myriad of symptoms that manifest together to create a diagnosis. Yet, this myriad of symptoms are looked at as the cause of disease in western medicine and not the effect as in all older cultures all around the world. Before a symptom can ever be present an imbalance must occur. The imbalance can come from a whole array of places but we can break them all down to four categories. It is either physical, mental, emotional or energetic. Most all older cultures embrace this understanding except for modern Americanized medicine. In my opinion that leaves us only one place that American medicine can excel at and that is trauma. I can say that if I required trauma care I would feel perfectly fine receiving that help from our current crop of doctors. However, that is as far as I am willing to go because truth be told 99% of doctors SUCK at health. I would much rather learn the ways and techniques to become my own most powerful healer. This is my body, I want to know it, I want to heal it, I want to be responsible for it. Can you say the same thing? Can you sit down and feel a relationship with your body as the most precious symbol of your life and be a good steward for it?

Alternative's to Toxic Air Fresheners

For my Wife -- Nori

Because my wife is a nut for nori. Enjoy. While I cannot commit to enjoying nori, I can appreciate that is has tremendous health benefits for the body from a nutritional standpoint. However, this is true for almost all algae's and seaweeds. The amount of iodine and b vitamins is very energizing for almost anybody. As much as we see people with low energy levels, we could certainly say the more sea veggies you eat, the more energy you will have.
Almost all of your sea veggies are great sources of protein as well. You could turn nori or other seaweeds into a great afternoon snack or a powerful contributor to any soup recipe as well to boost nutritional capacity. However, honey, that does not mean I want nori in my soup anytime soon.

Yoga For Blood Pressure

It is the opinion of this blogger and has been for many years that most blood pressure issues are a product of a stressful modern life. If we will just take some time to decompress and focus on ourselves, just imagine the potential for a healthier, happier life. Yoga is as old as humanity. In other cultures creating fluidity and movement in the body and energy go by a different name, yet all of these practices are designed with a similar intent. Move Energy, Create Healing. Take time for yourself so that you may live this life effectively and intentfully.

B Vitamins and Blood Pressure

 

 

B vitamin lowers blood pressure in at risk population

February 1, 2012. In an article published online on January 25, 2012 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers from Northern Ireland report a benefit for the B vitamin riboflavin in men and women with a gene mutation that puts them at risk for elevated homocysteine and hypertension.
The study, conducted in 2008, included 83 participants in a 16 week placebo-controlled trial of riboflavin conducted in 2004. Thirty-one subjects who had the TT genotype of the gene encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR, a folate-metabolizing enzyme), were again given 1.6 milligrams per day riboflavin or a placebo for 16 weeks, however, those who received riboflavin in 2004 were given a placebo in 2008, and vice-versa. (Riboflavin, in its coenzymatic form, is a cofactor for MTHFR.)
Those who had the TT genotype had higher systolic blood pressure in 2004 and 2008 than the remainder of the subjects. Although more subjects in this group were taking three or more antihypertensive medications, only 54 percent had achieved their goal blood pressure by 2008, compared to 70 percent of the other participants. For those that received riboflavin at either time point, systolic and diastolic blood pressure declined by an average of 9.2 mm Hg and 6.0 mm Hg.
"In this genetically at-risk group, significant lowering of blood pressure was achieved only with riboflavin treatment," the authors write. "To put these results into context, it would take approximately 10 kilograms of weight loss or an exercise regimen that burned 4200 kcal/week to achieve comparable decreases in blood pressure."
"Optimization of riboflavin status could be achieved in individuals through the use of low dose supplements or the consumption of foods naturally rich in riboflavin or in populations via food fortification," they note. "Such approaches could lower blood pressure in those genetically at risk without causing harm to those who are not."

When the State goes too far!

Words cannot describe the fury in me if my children or any child I knew was put through forced vaccinations. Be informed, as this is the only way we will change the system for the better.

FDA admits Memory Loss due to Cholesterol Drugs

Aside from the fact that high cholesterol is an invented disease, if you take the drugs to fight against it you just might lose your mind! For the most part, all medications have some life ripping side effect that always leads to a lower quality of life. If something is already wrong then why would we compound the issue with medication vs. looking for natural solutions that improve quality of life?
