The World According to M0nsant0

I felt inspired to post this video again.  It's been a while since I've seen it and M0nsant0 has come up in conversation a couple of times in the last few days.  This is the BEST introduction to who M0nsant0 is, what they have done through the last 100 years and most of all WHY people are so passionate about fighting them.  Without seed, without bees... basically, without food, we will not survive and destroying food is exactly what they threaten to do.  But why?  Who would DO something so deplorable?  The answer is in this documentary.

Here is the full length movie for you to watch again.  This is an old video, but not much has changed except for battles that were won on both sides.  For those of you who STILL don't know what kind of company M0nsant0 is, why they are unique and so fervently despised around the entire world; this is for you.

How to Prevent and Eliminate Fibroids Naturally

The article below has additional information on how to aid shrinking fibroids via dietary practices.

Dr. Tori Hudson also suggested a diet high in fiber and enzymes.  There is even a supplement (Vytalzyme) that many women said was very helpful when trying to reduce fibroids.  Diindolylmethane is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, bok choy...); it helps the body to send the excess estrogen out.  There was a supplement called DIM that is the same compound concentrated in a pill form that women take to stop "feeding" the fibroids.

There is more information in the article below that you may find helpful and enlightening.

13 Evidence-Based Medicinal Properties of Coconut Oil

No, I will not shut up about coconut oil.  THERE is a powerhouse food if I've ever seen or eaten one.  The oil has astounding benefits from nutritional to medicinal.  Amazing stuff!

There is only ONE oil that I fry my food in and that's coconut oil.  When I do oil pulling (for my teeth) I use coconut oil.  I used to use coconut oil on my skin too.  My mother, a retired nurse, upon reading new research about coconut oil has commented that she wished she knew about its disinfectant properties when she was practicing because it could have supplemented many different things that she did for her patients.

Well, if you're a coconut oil fan like me, then you'll LOVE the article below.  Enjoy!

50 Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide was a wonderful discovery for me when I was trying to switch to more eco safe cleaners.  A tablespoon of peroxide in a spray bottle of water will clean and disinfect EVERYTHING!  I also use peroxide in my laundry and in a detoxification bath (if one of us is ill).  I used to also use just a few drops of peroxide in the dishwasher as well, but now I just use sodium percarbonate (a washing soda and peroxide combo in a powder form; a main ingredient in oxyclean).

So that is three different ways that I use peroxide.  Below is a link to an article that outdid me!  There is a list of 50 different uses for peroxide.  Check it out!

April's Book: Real Food All Year




I look forward to reading this book.  I've been dreaming of having year round gardens and researching ways to have just that.  Aquaponics is one way to do it, however, there is still so much that I need to learn about it.  A greenhouse is kind of necessary for the year round aspect of gardening too.  To be honest, I'm closer to having the greenhouse than I am to having the aquaponic system.

This author talks about eating seasonally which is something that I've never thought of.  Certain foods grow at certain times per year.  Enjoy the video and the book.

Beware the "Unhealthy Teeth" Myths

Be VERY careful of the "studies have shown" phrase.  While MOST of what the article below (see link below) says is true, for example, they failed to mention a few things that are important.  The info in the article is all based on a correlation study and the article failed to discuss a connection of two VERY important variables.  One was kind of mentioned the other was not.

Yes, there is a LINK between healthy teeth and overall health, that is true.  There is a link.  This doesn't mean that bad teeth are the cause of bad health nor does it mean that dental care will fix the problems with the rest of your body.  The author of this article didn't take into account that granulated sugar and ingesting fluoride (fluoridated water or fluoridated products like fluoride toothpaste) can cause the EXACT same problems mentioned AND causes bad teeth.  I'll give some credit because the article did advise avoiding sugar... but as a suggestion to save your teeth.  It said nothing about sugar and it's connection to bad teeth AND overall health.

Again, this isn't to say that the article isn't true, there IS some truth to it.  Just be careful of doctors and dentists using such information to bait you.  I've seen pamphlets using this information to sell people fluoride products (which causes bad teeth AND illnesses like osteoporosis) and other services in order to achieve the healthy teeth.  But few want to talk about the dangers of fluoride and granulated sugar in regards to overall health.  These are two deadly substances that should never get past one's lips.

17 Apart: Growing Celery Indoors: Never Buy Celery Again

Here is more info on growing your own food.  I'm always ready to hear more info on this subject.  I'm a very ready and willing student.  I hope to be able to raise at least a fraction of the food that I eat within the next few years.

Justice for Justina

I would like to dedicate a post to a young Miss Justina Pelletier who is being held prisoner at Boston Children's Hospital for reasons that still baffle the family and many passionate supporters.

Here is a quick review of the story:  Justina Pelletier has mitochondrial disease (a very rare disease).  For most of her life she was treated at Tuffs Medical Center.  Their treatment allowed her to take control of the disease to the point where most wouldn't know that she's ill.  To the left is a picture of her when she used to do ice skating competitions.  Does she look like someone who is sick?  But when she was struck with a very bad case of the flu, she was taken to Boston Children's Hospital.  A doctor who was 7 months out of medical school gave Justina a new diagnosis... a psychological disorder.  She was taken off of her medication and when her parents tried to pull her from the hospital the Department of Children and Families (aka DCF) was called.  Once they stepped in, Lou and Linda Pelletier (Justina's parents) were immediately stripped of their rights to making decisions for their daughter and escorted forcefully out of the hospital.  There was a gag order imposed on the family as well.  Lou, fearing the life of his daughter, decided to tell the world what is happening to his daughter anyway.  For fourteen months, Linda and Lou have engaged in an exhausting battle for their much loved daughter.  Justina has held on for this long, but the Pelletier family fears that Justina is dying and are desperate to reclaim their parental rights and bring Justina home to the doctors whom have treated her to the healthy state that she was above.

Her supporters beg for prayers and MORE support still.  It's because of the outcry from the nation why DCF rescinded their decision to revoke her parent's rights to see her.  Whatever the difference you feel that you could make, please do it.  Justina needs to get home NOW!
