State Vaccine Requirements – National Vaccine Information Center

Again, I'm not a proponent of abolishing the use of vaccines.  I am, however, an opponent of the mandate of vaccines.  I want people to have the option if they want it, but for those who want the choice to opt out if they feel it's necessary, they should have that choice.  Forcing people to submit to a medical philosophy isn't a good idea and it isn't necessary.

Below is an article with a chart that shows which states allow medical, religious and philosophical exemptions.  It's no surprise that EVERY state has medical  exemptions , however, it is good to know if your state has religious or philosophical exemptions as well.

Monsanto Extinction Video

I watched the Monsanto Extinction video again.  I deeply processed one particular part of it this time.  According to the video, 97% of the food grown in the beginning of the 20th century is now extinct... it's EXTINCT!  Now with this GMO business, how much more food are we going to need to say goodbye to?  It isn't fair.  It's frustrating that people can be so greedy that taking from others doesn't even cause them to bat an eye.

A message to Monsanto:  There are many like me who aren't just going to sit back and watch this craziness happen.  I will write or call my representative over every single issue that pertains to your take over of food if I have to.  I will sign every petition against you.  I will find every individual who makes up the millions against you and we will block you from turning our land of the free into a tyrannical, socialist, nightmare!

Chiropractic

I've been going to Maximized Living for a little over two years now.  I'm so grateful that I found them.  I just started seeing yet another chiropractor today, however, I hesitate to call her that because chiropractic is just a fraction of what she does.  She did give me an adjustment today because my body needed it, but that is just a tiny part my treatment today.  She is helping me detox in a way my body has needed detoxification in a while.

I admit that I didn't always have good experiences with chiropractors, but Maximized Living and the woman that I saw today are both so awesome and take chiropractic to a new level.  When looking for a chiropractor, this is what everyone should be looking for.  Someone who has a practice that is beyond chiropractic.

Clutter

Even when my house is neat, scrubbed and beautiful, my closets and draws still hold a mess that I've constantly promised myself that I would get to but never did... clutter!  Aaaugh!  Stuff that I though I needed, stuff that I kept "just in case" and stuff that I'm afraid that I may need; but in the end it is all just stuff.  I'm finally in a place where most (if not all) of this stuff has just got to go.

I can feel the stuffy nature of my house even when everything is in place because there is so little room for other important things.  For the sake of health, today is the first day of getting rid of the clutter.  I can't wait and at the same time I'm so overwhelmed.

Living The Sustainable Life

Sustainable living isn't always easy.  It's can be expensive, time consuming, socially challenging and it can sometimes be difficult to find real food and sustainable products.  I've been progressively living this kind of life for so long, however, that I can't go back to my old ways; especially the way that I used to eat.

Sometimes I wish that it could be easier though.  I suppose as my skills increase so will the ease of my choice in lifestyle.  For example, I'm constantly learning new things that keep my menus interesting.  I'm not a raw food person, but I've been eager to find more raw food recipes.  I enjoy the raw food recipes that I've tried so far and the major benefit to raw food is that it's far more nutrient dense than cooked food.  Another issue is that sustainable living takes more time.  I love greens like kale, chard, lettuce and parsley but washing them takes so much time.  This can be a real bummer for me because I won't buy them as often because if I don't get to them in time they spoil; this has actually happened a few times.  When I'm having a week that is kind of busy, I stick with broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage because washing these veggies barely take any time at all.  I tend to ferment kale and chard so that I could have them on a busier week.  I guess because I love these foods so much, I dare to believe I'll find a way to have them more often; I just haven't found a way yet.

Constant growth is part of living a sustainable life.  This is the beauty and the challenge of it altogether.

Ron Paul vs. the FDA Raw Milk Police

The first link is to an article on Dr. Mercola's site explaining the pain in the butt hoops that people need to jump through in order to buy a container of nutrient dense unpasteurized milk and how Dr. Ron Paul is going to bat for us in this matter.

The second link is a petition so that we can offer our support on Ron Paul's bill.  I will sign the petition but my representative will get yet another call from me regarding foods that I have a right to eat.  I hope that there are many out there who are willing to do the same.

I believe it's quite hilarious that Monsanto thinks that they can win because they have money when they don't consider the fact that their arguments and explanations lack sense.  The only people who are behind them are people who make money from them, people who are blind to the nature of the traps or people who simply want to go on believing that everything is fine and don't wish to care.

For everyone not mentioned, please click on link #2 and sign the petition that will allow the interstate sale of raw milk.  This will also stop the spending of our tax dollars on gun point raids for the sale of raw milk saving the US dollars that are unnecessarily being spent.  I don't advocate raiding Amish family farmers at gun point for selling milk!  In fact, such actions are among the stupidest things that I've ever heard in my life!

FDA Claims "Raw Milk May Pose Health Risk"

The title of this post says absolutely nothing new.  I was interested in what the FDA had to say about the consumption of raw milk.  Nothing in the article below (taken straight from the FDA website) states why we need a government bureaucracy to "protect" us from dangerous raw milk consumption.

I've never been sick from raw milk.  If I eat what the FDA intends for me to as far as the dead white crud that they call milk, I would be sick anyway.  Again, informing the United States of their concerns for us drinking raw milk is MORE than okay.  That is their job!  Taking it away from us is outrageous.
