************************************************************************

Yogurt or Kefir Mix with Supplements

 

B Vitamin Mix—Take either Single B vitamins or Capsules and pour contents into a 2-3 oz of yogurt or kefir—allow to sit over night on the counter---next day swallow it down-Make sure the yogurt used is not “fat free” “sugar free” or filled with any fruit  this will impact the uptake and absorption and the utilization— and will either manufacture more or utilize what you have used

Some of the effects will be energy increase-brain returning-better effect of bowels--

*********************************************************************

 

Lipsome with Sunflower Lecithin

 

Heat the sunflower lecithin in a pot til it is malleable---then measure your volume of each-as an example

100 grams Sunflower Lecithin-

50 grams of ascorbic acid

1 tsp = 5ml ( 5 grams)—1/20th of 100mls

so then per serving you are getting 2.5 grams

 

benefits---supposed to be an equivalent to intravenous vitamin C

 

******************************************************************

 

Garlic and MSM

Take a whole Bulb of Garlic and about 20 grams of MSM ( you can add more if you like this is a starting point) Peel off all the garlic and add to a blender—add your rum or vodka or wine –1 ½ cup---then  blend this for 10 minutes---when done strain and bottle into glass---use 1/-1/2 tsp ---you can increase as you adapt to the strength—this will reduce infections—fortify lungs-reduce radiation-chelate metals—has anticancer properties-anti fungal-antibacterial-anti viral—with the MSM and Nitric Oxide the produce better penetration of the components—as well the side effects are increased hair health and growth and nail integrity---as well as having an antiglycating ( seperating Sugar from Protein being bound)—excellent remedy for tooth ache as well using this every 2 hours and the elimination of grains and sugar can see almost over night relief or complete restoration—

Why 80 Percent of People Worldwide Will Soon Stop Eating Wheat

Future of wheat is certain, and it’s toxic[F1] . There are as many health risks associated with the consumption of wheat as there are nutritional benefits claimed by the wheat industry. Why is there such a strong emphasis on the development of wheat products all over the world when there are so many adverse and crippling effects such as neurological impairment, dementia, heart disease, cataracts, diabetes, arthritis and visceral fat accumulation, not to mention the full range of intolerances and bloating now experienced by millions of people?---Approximately 700 million tons of wheat are now cultivated worldwide making it the second most-produced grain after maize. It is grown on more land area than any other commercial crop and is considered a staple food for humans.

At some point in our history, this ancient grain was nutritious in some respects, however modern wheat really isn’t wheat at all. Once agribusiness took over to develop a higher-yielding crop, wheat became hybridized to such an extent that it has been completely transformed from it’s prehistorical genetic configuration. All nutrient content of modern wheat depreciated more than 30% in its natural unrefined state compared to its ancestral genetic line. The balance and ratio that was created for wheat was also modified and human digestion and physiology could simply could not adapt quick enough to the changes.


*******************************************************************************************

The Nutrional Value of Wheat is Practically Non-Existent In Its Current Form

So-called health experts in nutrition who continue to promote the health benefits of wheat are extremely uninformed about the nature of modern wheat and its evolution from growth to consumption. It is shocking how many professionals in public health still recommend wheat products without an assessment of their individual requirements, especially considering the amount of evidence regarding its lack of nutrition and health risks for proportionally large segments of the population.--- The majority of wheat is processed into 60% extraction, bleached white flour. 60% extraction–the standard for most wheat products means that 40% of the original wheat grain is removed. So not only do we have an unhealthier, modified, and hybridized strain of wheat, we also remove and further degrade its nutritional value by processing it. Unfortunately, the 40% that gets removed includes the bran and the germ of the wheat grain–its most nutrient-rich parts. In the process of making 60% extraction flour, over half of the vitamin B1, B2, B3, E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, iron, and fiber are lost. Any processed foods with wheat are akin to poison for the body since they cause more health risks than benefits. The body does not recognize processed wheat as food. Nutrient absorption from processed wheat products is thus consequential with almost no nutritional value.---Some experts claim if you select 100% whole wheat products, the bran and the germ of the wheat will remain in your meals, and the health benefits will be impressive. This is again a falsity promoted by the wheat industry since even 100% whole wheat products are based on modern wheat strains created by irradiation of wheat seeds and embryos with chemicals, gamma rays, and high-dose X-rays to induce mutations. Whether you consume 10% or 100% of wheat is irrelevant since you’re still consuming a health damaging grain that will not benefit, advance or even maintain your health in any way.---Dr. Marcia Alvarez who specializes in nutritional programs for obese patients says that when it comes to nutrition, wheat may be considered as an evil grain. “Modern wheat grains could certainly be considered as the root of all evil in the world of nutrition since they cause so many documented health problems across so many populations in the world.” Dr. Alvarez asserted that wheat is now responsible for more intolerances than almost any other food in the world. “In my practice of over two decades, we have documented that for every ten people with digestive problems, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, arthritis and even heart disease, eight out of ten have a problem with wheat. Once we remove wheat from their diets, most of their symptoms disappear within three to six months,” she added. Dr. Alvarez estimates that between the coming influx of genetically modified (GM) strains of wheat and the current tendency of wheat elimination in societies, that a trend is emerging in the next 20 years that will likely see 80% of people cease their consumption of wheat from any form.-- Genetic Modification ---The GM wheat currently being tested for approval for production in Canada is a new variety of hard red spring wheat which has been genetically engineered to be tolerant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup. Monsanto Canada Inc. requested the approval of GE wheat from Health Canada in July 2002 and for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in December 2002.---In July 2009, the most hated company in the world Monsanto, announced new research into GM wheat and industry groups kicked their promotion of GM wheat into high gear. “Widespread farmer and consumer resistance defeated GM wheat in 2004 and this global rejection remains strong, as demonstrated by today’s statement,” said Lucy Sharratt, Coordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.---There are now even claims by researchers in Australia have developed a form of salt-tolerant wheat that will allow farmers to grow crops in soil with high salinity. They created the new form of wheat by crossing a modern strain with an ancient species, and the researchers believe this new super-wheat will allow farmers to grow more food crops on land previously thought to be off limits to agriculture. Critics suggest that new strains will be foreign to current ecological systems and will be unsustainable without massive chemical intervention.---Industry claims that the introduction of GM wheat will lead to a reduction in herbicide use, a claim that has been made prior to the introduction of other herbicide tolerant (HT) crops such as Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans, canola and corn. These claims have been contradicted by US government statistics that show that GM HT crops such as RR crops use more pesticides than conventional crops. These state GM crops can receive as much as 30 percent more herbicide than non-GM crops. Not only do GM crops use more pesticides but they also force the farmer to purchase one single brand of herbicide, in this case Monsanto brand Roundup.--If introduced, GE wheat will enter farmers’ rotations along with the already HT canola and soybeans. This compounds the issue of superweeds as each crop sown would be HT, so any seed that fell from the crop before harvest would pose a threat of becoming an uncontrollable weed, or contained by using increasingly toxic herbicides. How can we believe that pesticide use will decrease with GE wheat?

These developments are also taking place in the United States which is the third largest wheat producer in the world. Fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and growth regulators are all becoming more chemically potent and their frequency of application continues to increase every 5 years. American scientists are currently developing GM strains of wheat conferring resistance to fungal diseases. Wheat is becoming such a transmutated grain, that it someday may not even be called wheat.---- Health Effects ---A powerful little chemical in wheat known as ‘wheat germ agglutinin’ (WGA) which is largely responsible for many of wheat’s pervasive, and difficult to diagnose, ill effects. Researchers are now discovering that WGA in modern wheat is very different from ancient strains. Not only does WGA throw a monkey wrench into our assumptions about the primary causes of wheat intolerance, but due to the fact that WGA is found in highest concentrations in “whole wheat,” including its supposedly superior sprouted form, it also pulls the rug out from under one of the health food industry’s favorite poster children.--Each grain of wheat contains about one microgram of Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA). Even in small quantities, WGA can have profoundly adverse effects. It may be pro-inflammatory, immunotoxic, cardiotoxic … and neurotoxic.--Below the radar of conventional serological testing for antibodies against the various gluten proteins and genetic testing for disease susceptibility, the WGA “lectin problem” remains almost entirely obscured. Lectins, though found in all grains, seeds, legumes, dairy and our beloved nightshades: the tomato and potato, are rarely discussed in connection with health or illness, even when their presence in our diet may greatly reduce both the quality and length of our lives. Yet health experts dismiss the links between disease and wheat despite all the evidence.--Dr. William Davis has documented several hundred clinical studies on the adverse effects of wheat. These are studies that document the neurologic impairments unique to wheat, including cerebellar ataxia and dementia; heart disease; visceral fat accumulation and all its attendant health consequences; the process of glycation via amylopectin A of wheat that leads to cataracts, diabetes, and arthritis; among others. There are, in fact, a wealth of studies documenting the adverse, often crippling, effects of wheat consumption in humans.---The other claim is that wheat elimination ‘means missing out on a wealth of essential nutrients. Another falsity. Dr. Davis states that if you replace wheat with healthy foods like vegetables, nuts, healthy oils, meats, eggs, cheese, avocados, and olives, then there is no nutrient deficiency that develops with elimination of wheat. Dr. Davis also states that people with celiac disease may require long-term supplementation due to extensive gastrointenstinal damage caused by wheat.---People with celiac disease do indeed experience deficiencies of multiple vitamins and minerals after they eliminate all wheat and gluten from the diet. But this is not due to a diet lacking valuable nutrients, but from the incomplete healing of the gastrointestinal tract (such as the lining of the duodenum and proximal jejunum). In these people, the destructive effects of wheat are so overpowering that, unfortunately, some people never heal completely. These people do indeed require vitamin and mineral supplementation, as well as probiotics and pancreatic enzyme supplementation.

Due to the unique properties of amylopectin A, two slices of whole [F2] wheat bread increase blood sugar higher than many candy bars. High blood glucose leads to the process of glycation that, in turn, causes arthritis (cartilage glycation), cataracts (lens protein glycation), diabetes (glycotoxicity of pancreatic beta cells), hepatic de novo lipogenesis that increases triglycerides and, thereby, increases expression of atherogenic (heart disease-causing) small LDL particles, leading to heart attacks. Repetitive high blood sugars that develop from a grain-rich diet are, in my view, very destructive and lead to weight gain (specifically visceral fat), insulin resistance, leptin resistance (leading to obesity), and many of the health struggles that many now experience.

Wheat gliadin has been associated with cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, gluten encephalopathy (dementia), behavioral outbursts in children with ADHD and autism, and paranoid delusions and auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia, severe and incapacitating effects for people suffering from these conditions.

According to statistics from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, an average of one out of every 133 otherwise healthy people in the United States suffers from CD. However, an estimated 20-30 percent of the world’s population may carry the genetic susceptibility to celiac disease–and the way to avoid turning these genes ‘on’ is by avoiding gluten.

When you consider that undiagnosed CD is associated with a nearly four-fold increased risk of premature death, the seriousness of this food sensitivity becomes quite evident. The primary disease mechanism at play is chronic inflammation, and chronic inflammatory and degenerative conditions are endemic to grain-consuming populations.

Changes in genetic code and, thereby, antigenic profile, of the high-yield semi-dwarf wheat cultivars now on the market account for the marked increase in celiac potential nationwide. “Hybridization” techniques, including chemical mutagenesis to induce selective mutations, leads to development of unique strains that are not subject to animal or human safety testing–they are just brought to market and sold.--Author and preventive cardiologist William Davis, MD, wheat’s new biochemical code causes hormone disruption that is linked to diabetes and obesity. “It is not my contention that it is in everyone’s best interest to cut back on wheat; it is my belief that complete elimination is in everyone’s best health interests,” says Dr. Davis, “In my view, that’s how bad this thing called ‘wheat’ has become.”--Chemical mutagenesis using the toxic mutagen, sodium azide, of course, is the method used to generate BASF’s Clearfield herbicide-resistant wheat strain. These methods are being used on a wide scale to generate unique genetic strains that are, without question from the FDA or USDA, assumed to be safe for human consumption.

* Note that many of the wheat-free options still contain gluten.

Due to the irresponsible high frequency hybridization, processing and inevitable genetic modification of modern wheat, there is only one solution for the health and wellness of future generations. Stop eating wheat and educate as many people as you can on the coming strains of this grain which will be much more deadly than they already are today.

1 Million Truckers Protest Now Joined By Canadian Counterparts

In the recent article 1 Million Truckers to Protest Obama by Shutting America Down for 3 Days in October, I reported the Facebook page, Truckers to Shut Down America, was urging truckers to drive to DC October 11-13, 2013 and Americans to boycott in support of the truck drivers by ceasing all money transactions for those days. At the time of that article, the site had little over 10,000 likes. I wanted to provide an update. --Three days after I wrote about the march, the site has garnered over 67,000 likes and new developments have arisen that could only have happened due to the overwhelming support for our hard working truck driving friends. –Many americans are supporting the 18 wheel drivers rolling to DC by pledging to boycott those three days by staying home and avoiding all money transactions for those days. But, individuals are not the only ones who have come out in support of this endeavor. A few members with Indiana Overpass for Obama's Impeachment are offering to pay for hotel rooms and a meal or two for the truckers. --A truck stop in Baton Rouge, LA is offering 50 gallons of free fuel to the first 20 truckers that come by their establishment with pictures showing their rig in DC during those three days. ---There has even been a post from a man in Germany, written in German, supporting the million trucker march to DC. --Truck drivers are posting pictures of themselves with their trucks and indicating whether they will shut down and stay home or shut down for the drive to DC. ---A reprint of the Freedom Outpost article appeared on the Daily Paul. The Blaze posted an article the day after Freedom Outpost and Fox News picked up that article and scrolled the information in their news ticker. ---A new Facebook page popped up, Canadian Truckers to Shut Down, suggesting that Canadian counterparts show their support for their American trucking brothers and sisters by shutting down as well on the same days and either stay home or drive to Toronto. That site has over 1,700 likes. --Two radio shows are urging truck drivers to call in to discuss the important issues. The Guerilla Media Network is asking truck drivers only to identify the most important issues beside fuel prices that drivers would like to see changed by calling Pete Santilli. The site provides the number for the live radio show. For those reading that are truckers, the number is (828) 738-6588. The Pete Santilli show is broadcast daily at 10 AM PST/ 12 PM CST/ 1 PM EST. --The other radio show is hosted by Glenn Beck. The posting had appeared about phoning Glenn Beck earlier today, but now it has become difficult to find. The site is receiving thousands of posts daily. Admins of the site are trying to respond to all posts and verify all information. --Goods travel throughout the US 7 days a week, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. While goods are moved by rail, air and ship, it takes a truck to get those goods from seaports, train depots and air cargo ports to distribution centers then their final destination at a store near you. If you go to the store to buy something, more than likely a truck driver and his rig delivered it. The job they do provides the stored with the goods we purchase.

These men and women are willing to stake three days of their livelihood to protest the corruption in Washington. Enough notice has been given for individuals to stock up on items for those three days and extra due to the time it will take for goods to reach their destination after the boycott. Medication is usually dispensed for 30 day intervals so make sure you get your refills prior to October 11. To support the truck drivers and join in, individuals can cease all money transactions for those three days. --I say We the People can make a difference! Keep passing the word America. Our family trucking company is rolling to DC. Hopefully, we see some of you on the side of the road cheering us on!

 The New World Order – Doing God’s Work by Killing the Bad Seed

Translation

Barbara H. Peterson

Farm Wars

We are being deluged on all sides with poisons in the air, food, water, soil, and through big Pharma drugs and vaccines. We are told that all of these things are good for us while we can read the test results and independent studies saying they are not. In fact, these independent studies and test results clearly indicate that we are being poisoned and that the doses are increasing on a daily basis. Why is this happening? Could there really be a group of people who are intent on our destruction? Yes. And they believe that they are doing God’s work. In fact, they have set themselves up as judge, jury and executioner, and the only ones qualified to determine just who deserves to live and who deserves to die. These are the eugenicists. These are people who believe they are God’s elect, and feel that they are chosen for Godhood and have the responsibility to rule. And they have names.------------Wonder why the IMF and biotech agribusiness have full reign to destroy economies and ecosystems in order to enslave and starve whole populations? Wonder why the vaccines Bill Gates promotes sterilize and kill the populations they are supposed to help? It is all according to plan. A eugenics plan, that is. And it’s called the destruction of the bad seed..Have you heard of Barbara Marx Hubbard?

She has written five books, delivered more than 80 keynote speeches and given more than 75 interviews. She is currently President of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, which she co-founded in 1990 with Sidney Lanier. Hubbard was featured in the 2006 film Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within, a documentary about rediscovering an enchanted cosmos in the modern world. She was also featured in the 2011 film Thrive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Marx_Hubbard

She also wrote the book “The Revelation: Our Crisis is a Birth (The Book of Co-Creation) Foundation for Conscious Evolution, 1993. ISBN 0-9631032-0-2”----Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of The Book of Co-Creation, claims in her curricula vitae to be “establishing Evolutionary Circles throughout the world to support small groups in their emergence as universal humans, founders of a global civilization.” --------As a psychologist with Task Force Delta, an army think tank of futurists, strategists, and psychology and parapsychology researchers, Hubbard is credited with the idea of “bombarding” the Soviets with “psychic love,” and formation of the First Earth Battalion (FEB). The credo of the FEB “guerilla gurus” states: “I take personal responsibility for generating evolutionary conspiracies as a part of my work. I will select and create conspiratorial mechanisms … that will create and perform evolutionary breakthrough actions on behalf of people and planet. One people, one planet.”      http://www.conspiracy-cafe.com/apps/blog/show/9483302   But evidently, not all of the people will benefit from this “psychic love.” According to this New Age philosophy that she espouses, there are too many people on the planet, and the bad seeds need to be eliminated. This is what she writes------Out of the full spectrum of human personality, one-fourth is electing to transcend …. One-fourth is destructive [and] they are defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a ‘natural death.’ … Now as we approach the quantum shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human — the human who is an inheritor of god-like powers — the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body …. Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act. We are. We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death.          http://www.conspiracy-cafe.com/apps/blog/show/9483302         If you aren’t one of the ones chosen to “ascend” then you are a defective seed and are destined for extermination. Here is some more about Barbara’s theosophical beliefs--Barbara Marx Hubbard, a New Age futurist, says that the goal of her newest book, Conscious Evolution, “is that it serve the fulfillment of the plan.’May Light and Love and Power restore the plan on Earth.’ That is my prayer.” She doesn’t mention the source of this prayer; it is the final verse of “The Great Invocation,” a Theosophical prayer provided by the Lucis Trust [F1] with each of Alice Bailey’s books.-----http://www.mdep.org/NewAgeComplete.html

A bit about Alice Bailey and her New Age views-----From the start of World War II until her death in 1949, Alice Bailey wrote that the war was necessary for the New Age to come. She believed that the New Age would be preceded by a “destructive cycle, wherein the old order passes away” and “human civilization with its accompanying institutions is destroyed.” She gives credit to the “Hierarchy” of ascended spiritual masters for “their decision, taken early in this century, which precipitated … that major destructive agency, the world war (1914-1945).” In April 1943, Bailey said, “One of the purposes lying behind the present holocaust (World War II) has been the necessity for the destruction of inadequate forms. … the Law of destruction was permitted to work through humanity itself, and men are now destroying the forms through which many masses of men are functioning.” (“Destroying forms” does not mean shredding IRS paperwork; it is the Theosophist code word for death.) After the war, Bailey wrote that “the Custodians of God’s Plan” viewed World War II as a “major surgical operation” that had been “largely successful” in removing “a violent streptococcic germ” that had “menaced the life of humanity.” She warned that this would be only the beginning of sorrows: “The germ, to be sure, is not eradicated and makes its presence felt in infected areas of the body of humanity. Another surgical operation may be necessary.”

http://www.mdep.org/NewAgeComplete.html

The Lucis Trust--The Lucis Trust is the Publishing House which prints and disseminates United Nations material. It is a devastating indictment of the New Age and Pagan nature of the UN.  --Lucis Trust was established in 1922 as Lucifer Trust by Alice Bailey as the publishing company to disseminate the books of Bailey and Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society. The title page of Alice Bailey’s book, ‘Initiation, Human and Solar’ was originally printed in 1922, and clearly shows the publishing house as ‘Lucifer Publishing CoIn 1923.’  ---Bailey changed the name to Lucis Trust, because Lucifer Trust revealed the true nature of the New Age Movement too clearly. (Constance Cumbey, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, p. 49). A quick trip to any New Age bookstore will reveal that many of the hard-core New Age books are published by Lucis Trust.

Lucis Trust sponsors among others are the following organizations:

  • UN
  • Greenpeace International
  • Greenpeace USA
  • Amnesty International
  • UNICEF

Here is a partial list of the executioners who attended “We, The World and Partners of 11 Days of Global Unity in 2004,” of which Barbara Marx Hubbard was an Honorary Co-Chair:

The Origin of 11 Days of Global Unity

The U.N. International Day of Peace was started in 1981 as a day to announce and celebrate ceasefires in conflict areas around the world. It began as a moveable date taking place on the opening day of each new Session of the U.N. General Assembly in September. In 2001 the opening day of the new U.N. Session was scheduled for September 11th. So the International Day of Peace actually coincided with the tragedy of 9/11. A U.N. resolution permanently fixed the International Day of Peace on September 21st.

 In 2004 We, The World launched 11 Days of Global Unity September 11-21 symbolically marking the transformative global journey from fear to hope. Supporters of the launch included Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu and 11 Days Honorary Co-Chairs Jane Goodall, Deepak Chopra, Irene Khan (Secretary General of Amnesty International), Marianne Williamson, John McConnell (one of the original Founders of Earth Day), Hazel Henderson, Ervin Laszlo, Jonathan Granoff, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Robert Thurman, Sally Fisher, Riane Eisler, Lynne Twist, Paul Winter, Nina Meyerhof, and New York City Councilman Alan J. Gerson.

http://we.net/11days

She also plays a part in the “State of the World Forum:”

Another of Gorbachev’s organizations, the San Francisco-based State of the World Forum, draws funding from a galaxy of Establishment  corporations and foundations, ranging from Archer Daniels Midland, CNN, Hewlett-Packard, and Occidental Petroleum to the Carnegie Corporation, the Kellogg Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

http://www.mdep.org/NewAgeComplete.html

The first State of the World Forum gathering took place in San Francisco, September 27-October 1, 1995.  Convened by Mikhail Gorbachev, more than 400 innovative leaders and thinkers from 50 countries came together.  The central question Mr. Gorbachev challenged this gathering to take up was what principles, priorities and values should guide humanity as it moves beyond the strictures of the Cold War into the next phase of development.  This was debated and discussed from the vantage points of science, economics, global security, religion and the arts.

During the 1996 and 1997 Forums, this conversation was continued.  The inclusion of youth and the emphasis on gender parity, combined with people coming from all over the world and representing all manner of constituencies and disciplines, engendered discussions which were both catalytic and transformative.  Issues addressed ranged across the entire spectrum of human interest in the late twentieth century.  All perspectives were welcome, every point of view was heard, and everyone was invited to honor diversity as the key to creativity.

http://worldforum.percepticon.com/mission/about_us.html

Some of the leading thinkers and leaders participating in past Forums include:

Oscar Arias Sanchez, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, James Baker, Zbigniew Brzezinski, George Bush, Deepak Chopra, Stephen Covey, Walter Cronkite, Sonia Gandhi, Jane Goodall, Thich Nhat Hanh, Dee Hock, Jose Ramos-Horta, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Thabo Mbeki, David Packard, John Naisbitt, Lew Platt, Jehan Sadat, George Shultz, Ted Turner, Margaret Thatcher, Margaret Wheatley, Marianne Williamson, Marian Wright Edelman and Muhammad Yunus. 

http://worldforum.percepticon.com/mission/about_us.html

The Earth Charter is founded on the principles Barbara Marx Hubbard espouses:

THE EARTH CHARTER and REAL PHILOSOPHY of the NEW AGE MOVEMENT

The Earth Charter is the brainchild of Gorbachev acting as chairman of Green Cross International  and Maurice Strong, a wealthy proponent of world government, a leader at UN environmental meetings, and an adviser to the World Bank. Ted Turner is also involved, as a member of the Green Cross International board. Gorbachev views the proposed Earth Charter as “a kind of Ten Commandments, a ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ that provides a guide for human behavior toward the environment in the next century and beyond.” Maurice Strong says, “The real goal of the Earth Charter is that it will in fact become like the Ten Commandments, like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

Strong, Chairman of the Earth Council, is on the board of the World Economic Forum (WEF); Klaus Schwab, president and founder of the WEF, is a member of the Earth Council. The WEF, which meets annually in Davos, Switzerland, describes itself as “the most significant global business summit bringing together close to 2,000 business and political leaders, experts, academics, and members of the media, to set the global agenda for the coming year.” Top executives of billion-dollar companies pay fees and travel costs of $30,000 to $250,000 each year for the privilege of schmoozing with presidents of many countries and of the world’s largest corporations – including President Clinton, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bill Gates, Kofi Annan (UN Secretary General), John Smith (CEO of General Motors), Peter Sutherland (Chairman of Goldman-Sachs), Kim Woo-Choong (Chairman of Daewoo Corporation), Jürgen Schrempp (Chairman of Daimler-Benz), and George Soros.

http://www.mdep.org/NewAgeComplete.html

So, when Bill Gates philanthropically kills off African children with poisonous vaccines and supports Monsanto et. al.’s use of poisonous chemicals and genetically engineered seeds in our food supply, he is doing God’s work and killing the bad seeds. When planes spray poisonous chemicals from the sky they are doing God’s work and killing the bad seeds. When hydrofluosilisic acid is added to our drinking water straight from Cargill’s hazardous waste stacks, those instigating the policy are doing God’s work and killing the bad seeds. Every single poison we are being inflicted with is part of a grand eugenics scheme aimed at killing off the bad seed and elevating the “chosen ones” to “ascended” status.[F2] 

And just what is ascension? For some it is completely “spiritual,” and for others, it is transhumanism. In fact, for the transhumanist “chosen ones” who seek immortality, it is their job to bring about that immortality through the melding of man and machine, and finally, a holographic being. And the religions of the world are following right along. The illusion is great. It is touted as peace and love and spirituality. What they don’t tell you is that in order to gain this spirituality that they seek, most of us must die. According to them, we are the bad seeds, and it is apparent, from reading through the mountains of propaganda put forth by these New Age organizations promoting “peace and sustainability’ that a lot of people will be fooled by this benign and peaceful sounding rhetoric.

What is WE?

  • WE is a Consciousness, a Campaign, and a Collaboration of people, organizations and social change movements from around the world.
    • WE Consciousness: WE promotes making a shift from “I” to “WE” in our individual actions and attitudes and in our societal priorities and policies.
    • WE Campaign: WE is an ongoing Awareness and Action Campaign; four WE Action Campaigns per year with culminating Global Public Events every 3 months. WE will Inspire, Inform and Involve millions of people through WE.net in solutions to:
      • Ensure basic human needs and well being worldwide
      • Restore healthy eco-systems and environmental stewardship
      • Create a culture of peace and nonviolence – from individuals to nation-states.
    • WE Collaboration – The WE Network, WE.net, provides a vehicle for connection, interaction and opportunity for unprecedented cooperation between people, organizations and movements. Utilizing advanced technology and intuitive web design, Partners of WE consisting of thousands of organizations and a mass movement of people create an ever-expanding social change network essential for a world that works for all.

http://we.net/about

A world that works for all? How about a world that works for all of the “chosen.” After all, that is what is meant by all of this flowery and deceptive rhetoric. We only assume that they mean us too. It doesn’t occur to most that the only “all” that is considered here is all those that they deem the “good seed.”---Let’s see what Barbara Marx Hubbard, supporter, key promoter and inspiration for Global Unity has to say again:

Out of the full spectrum of human personality, one-fourth is electing to transcend …. One-fourth is destructive [and] they are defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a ‘natural death.’ … Now as we approach the quantum shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human — the human who is an inheritor of god-like powers the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body …. Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act. We are. We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death.--Now let’s see what Scripture has to say about those who would place themselves above the rest of us, declare themselves judge, jury and executioner of the bad seeds, and deign to be in charge of “God’s selection process for planet Earth,” and for those that say “Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High:”

Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

The fact is, they just might end up in the very same predicament that they are putting us in. The hunter shall be the hunted and the meek shall inherit the earth. No justification, no pompous ego will change the fact that the only one in charge of “God’s selection process for planet Earth” is the Creator Himself, and I would not want to be in anyone’s shoes who places him/herself in the position of attempting to oust Him from His position. We just aren’t that smart.------Yes, they who rule over the earth deciding who is to live and who is to die, they who plot evil in their hearts – it is they who are the bad seeds, the evildoers. And their seed shall never be renowned.

Steroids May Persist Longer in the Environment Than Expected

Ed Kolodziej is an associate professor and researcher in the University of Nevada, Reno's College of Science and project leader of a collaborative multi-disciplinary research team that includes the University of Iowa and Truman State. He and his team found a new mechanism where chemicals transform, under certain conditions, to avoid detection, which may account for unexplained observations of endocrine disruption in aquatic organisms.

Sep. 26, 2013 — Assessing the risk posed to aquatic organisms by the discharge of certain steroids and pharmaceutical products into waterways is often based on a belief that as the compounds degrade, the ecological risks naturally decline.---But there's growing sentiment that once in the environment, some of these bioactive organic compounds may transform in a way that makes their presumed impact less certain.--A new study led by the University of Iowa and published online in the journal Science found this was the case with the anabolic steroid trenbolone acetate and two other drugs.---Once popular in the bodybuilding and weightlifting communities,trenbolone acetate is now banned for human use. However, it is federally approved for use by the beef industry to promote weight gain and increase feeding efficiency in cattle.[F1] ---In lab tests followed by field experiments, the researchers found that trenbolone does not fully break down in water as believed, retaining enough of a chemical residue to regenerate itself in the environment under certain conditions, to an extent that the drugs' lives may be prolonged, even in trace amounts.---Researchers says the study is a first step toward better understanding the environmental role and impact of steroids and pharmaceutical products, all of which have been approved by the federal government for various uses and that have been shown to improve food availability, environmental sustainability and human health.--"We're finding a chemical that is broadly utilized, to behave in a way that is different from all our existing regulatory and risk-assessment paradigms," says David Cwiertny, assistant professor in engineering at the University of Iowa and a co-corresponding author on the paper."What our work hopefully will do is help us better understand and assess the environmental fate of emerging contaminant classes. There are a variety of bioactive pharmaceuticals and personal-care products that we know are present in trace amounts in our water supply. We should use what we're learning about trenbolone to more closely scrutinize the fate and better mitigate the impact of these products in the environment."---The team found similar results for dienogest, a hormone used in a birth-control pill called Natazia, and dienedone, a banned anabolic steroid that has been marketed as a body-building supplement.---Trenbolone acetate is implanted in the ears of more than 20 million cattle in the United States, according to studies cited by the researchers in their paper. The drug is metabolized and then excreted by livestock, and makes its way into waterways mainly through runoff.--The steroid has been considered safe due to its rapid degradation, with studies pointing to an environmental half-life of less than a day. But there has been concern that it and other synthetic drugs, when found in concentrated amounts, can be harmful to aquatic species and the environment generally. Studies have pointed to steroids and other drugs' effects on fish, through fewer eggs produced by females to skewing the sex of some species.---"We rarely see fish kills anymore, and we probably aren't discharging many carcinogens into surface waters anymore. But I don't believe this necessarily means that our water is safe for aquatic organisms," says Edward Kolodziej, associate professor in engineering at the University of Nevada-Reno and the other corresponding author on the Science paper. "It just might be harder to characterize the adverse effects associated with contaminant exposures these days."---Sunlight is one catalyst for breaking down compounds in the environment. But in this study, by simulating day and night in the lab, the research team found that the steroid's chemical compounds never fully disappeared in daylight. Moreover, during a simulated night, under typical surface water conditions, some of the compounds regenerated themselves, to as much as 60 percent of the metabolite's initial mass, when tracked over a 120-hour period.---"We knew something unique was going on," Cwiertny says. "In daylight, it essentially hides in another form, to evade analysis and detection, and then at nighttime it readily grows back."---More of the drug's mass was regenerated -- up to 88 percent in one highly acidic state (pH 2) -- when water temperature was higher and when it was more acidic or alkaline, the team found.---The researchers validated the lab results with two experiments in the field -- one with water culled from the Iowa River in Iowa City, Iowa and the other from samples taken from a collection pond at a cattle rangeland and research operation run by the University of California.--Story Source-The above story is based on materials provided by University of Iowa. --Journal Reference--E.

‘Transformation - Metamorphosis’ Endocrine Disruptors Dumped in Water Supply

Hormone-upsetting chemicals dumped into the environment are rising up to haunt Americans, spreading cancer and infertility around the world.

With the endocrine disrupting Bisphenol-A (BPA) – found ubiquitously in food can linings, plastic bottles, ATM receipts, toilet paper and hundreds of other products – already a major problem tied to infertility, breast cancer, low sperm counts, deformities in humans and sex morphology in aquatic wildlife, yet still unregulated by the FDA, other hormonal disrupters dumped into water supplies are emerging as major issues, too.---Now, environmentalists are concerned that hormones dumped into water – from sources like factory farm cattle operations – are at higher levels than previously thought, in part because they mysteriously regenerate at night, thwarting attempts to measure them and assumptions about them breaking down in sunlight.
[F2] -----From Nature.com----Hormone-disrupting chemicals may be far more prevalent in lakes and rivers than previously thought. Environmental scientists have discovered that although these compounds are often broken down by sunlight, they can regenerate at night, recycling back  to life. --"Risk assessments have been built on the basis that light exposure is enough to break down these products,” adds Laura Vandenberg, an endocrinologist at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst who was not involved in the study. “This work undermines that idea completely.”--
The Nature.com article focused on a study conducted by the University of Iowa on the use of the synthetic anabolic steroid trenbolone acetate, which frequently runs off into water supplies after its use in some 20 million cattle through the United States (its use, like BPA, is banned in the EU) converts it into the “potent endocrine disrupter” 17α-trenbolone.---
The going assumption from both industrialists and environmental regulators was that it was breaking down during the day as it was exposed to sunlight, rendering its effects on aquatic life, and human and animal use of the water, negligible.---However, the scientists found that 17α-trenbolone “levels rebounded during the dark periods,” with variations in temperature and pH often accelerating that process. Since environmental monitors were primarily taking samples during the day, they were not recording data showing the “Transformation” culturing of these – and potentially many other – endocrine disruptors.

Endocrine-Disrupting Herbicide Linked with Cancer & Birth Defects in 52 Million Americans Drinking Water-------Meanwhile, more than 250 groups have banded together to demand that the EPA step up to the plate to ban Atrazine, a toxic pesticide used primarily as a leading herbicide, that leaches into the environment and runs off into water supplies across the United States. It, too, has been linked with endocrine and hormonal disruption, and likely has widespread environmental effects.----Like BPA and trenbolone acetate, Atrazine – sold by the biotech giant Syngenta – is already banned in European countries, but remains virtually unregulated in America.-----According to EcoWatch-Up to 80 million pounds of it are used in the U.S. each year, contaminating ground, surface and drinking water. Atrazine, or its primary degradate, was found in approximately 75 percent of stream water and about 40 percent of all groundwater samples from agricultural areas tested in an extensive U.S. Geological Survey study 

In people, atrazine exposure may be linked to increased risks of thyroid cancer, reproductive harm and birth defects. For example, a recent study showed that children of mothers exposed to atrazine had an increased risk of a birth defect called choanal atresia, a narrowing or blockage of the back of the nasal canal that can be life-threatening in newborn infants.

The hormone disrupting pesticide has been found in the drinking water of at least 52 million Americans. It was reported on a little noticed item in the Wall Street Journal in 2012, quietly announcing that the biotech firm Syngenta had settled a class action lawsuit with more than 2,000 water districts in the American Mid-west over the contamination of its drinking water supplies.----The terms of the settlement were not fully disclosed, and Syngenta admitted no liability, maintaining that Atrazine is “safe,” and stating that, “No one ever has or ever could be exposed to enough atrazine in water to affect their health.”

Isolating Elemental Iodine from Potassium Iodide

Iodine crystals are used in a couple of the experiments in the book. When I wrote those sections, iodine was freely available, but the DEA recently moved iodine to List I, which means it now requires completing paperwork and showing ID to purchase iodine. Fortunately, there's a very easy way around this problem. You can isolate elemental iodine from potassium iodide, which is included in one of the chemical kits. To do so, take the following steps:

1. Weigh out 2.0 g of potassium iodide and transfer it to a test tube.

2. Add about 1.5 mL of distilled water to the test tube and swirl to dissolve the potassium iodide.

3. Add 1.5 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (or about 1.8 mL of hardware store muriatic acid) to the test tube and swirl to mix the solutions.

4. Add about 10 mL of drugstore 3% hydrogen peroxide. The solution immediately turns dark brown as the iodide ions are oxidized to elemental iodine, which precipitates out.

5. Swirl the test tube to suspend the iodine and pour the liquid through a funnel with a folded piece of filter paper to capture the iodine crystals.

6. Rinse the iodine crystals on the filter paper several times with a few mL of distilled water. The rinse solution appears brown from dissolved iodine, but iodine is not very soluble in water, so you're not losing much of your yield.

7. Spread out the filter paper on a watch glass or saucer and allow the crystals to dry thoroughly. Iodine gradually sublimates (passes directly from solid to gaseous form) at room temperature, so don't leave the crystals exposed to air any longer than necessary to dry them.

8. Once the crystals are dry, transfer them to a sealed storage bottle or vial.

These quantities produce a gram or so of iodine, which is sufficient for the experiments that require it. If you need more iodine, simply increase all quantities proportionately.

FDA to hold first public hearing on GM babies

by Rady Ananda

Next month, the US Food and Drug Administration will hold a two-day public meeting to discuss genetic modification within the human egg, which changes will be passed on generationally. --Human gene therapy has been ongoing since 1990, but most of that involved non-heritable genes, called somatic (non-sex cell) gene therapy
. Somatic modifications only affect the individual and are not passed on, and so do not affect the human genome. ---The game changed with the successful birth of at least 30 genetically modified babies by 2001. Half of the babies engineered from one clinic developed defects and so the FDA stepped in and asserted jurisdiction over “the use of human cells that receive genetic material by means other than the union of gamete nuclei” (sperm and egg). -- Now the FDA is considering going forward with “oocyte modification” which involves genetic material from a second woman, whereby offspring will carry the DNA from three parents. These kinds of genetic changes (“germline modification”) alter the human genome.---This is the first such meeting ever to be held in public by the FDA, reports Biopolitical Times (BPT), speculating that the meeting will likely include discussing a mitochondrial replacement technique developed by Shoukhrat Mitalipov at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). ---
Notes the
BPT, “mitochondrial replacement is a form of inheritable genetic modification.” This type of gene therapy is the source of much controversy, because it permanently changes the human genome and risks unforeseeable changes in growth and development, and aging.---
As late as 2008, all germline modification therapies and enhancements were banned in 83% of the 30 nations making up the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), including the US and UK, reports the Center for Genetics and Society (CGS). ---Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade in 2008, CGS Executive Director Richard Hayes advised--Most people strongly support therapeutic applications of genetic science, but they also realize that the manipulation of inheritable genetic traits crosses a consequential barrier. In the great majority of instances, couples at risk of passing on a serious genetic disease can ensure that their child is disease-free by means of medically-related trait selection, thus obviating the need for the far more complex and risk-prone intervention that germline modification would entail.
[F3] ---Making humans better, smarter, stronger has long been the goal of eugenicists. Hayes warns---Germline enhancement has also been seriously proposed as a means of creating people with such novel cognitive, psychological, and behavioral traits that they would constitute a new, ‘post-human’ species, incapable of interbreeding with ‘normal’ humans.---With ooplasmic transfer, the technique injects healthy mitochondrial DNA from a donor into the egg of an infertile woman. Mitochondrial DNA floats outside a cell’s nucleus which contains the regular DNA, and is only inherited from the mother. ---In June, the United Kingdom reversed its long-standing policy against germline modification, and decided to go ahead with three-parent babies. Regulations on the procedure are now being drafted and Members of Parliament are expected to vote on the issue in 2014. ---
Paul Knoepfler, Associate Professor of Cell Biology and Human Anatomy at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, commented that---Moving one oocyte nucleus into the enucleated oocyte of another person could trigger all kinds of devastating problems (most likely through epigenetic changes) that might not manifest until you try to make a human being out of it. Then it’s too late.---BPT shares in this opposition--If the FDA gives the OHSU researchers a green light to move towards human clinical trials, it will be the first instance of regulatory approval for human germline modification ever, anywhere in the world. --Given the current regulatory void in the United States and the paucity of safety data, allowing scientists to experiment with creating permanent changes to the human genome is a genie that must be kept in the bottle.---as with genetically modified crops, a host of unforeseen and deleterious consequences may develop when we begin modifying humans with genes their children will inherit. GM feed is linked with infertility and spontaneous abortions in livestock, and crops modified to be insecticidal are linked to declining pollinator populations, especially bees, moths and bats.
But another argument against germline modification is that it will lead to designer babies and a new class of underdogs – those who cannot afford genetic enhancement. --Eugenicists and futurists like Ray Kurzweil (The Singularity Is Near, 2006) foresee and welcome the convergence of the NBIC fields that can improve human performance-nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science.
[F4] ---In 2001, over 50 policy makers and scientists from a range of fields contributed to a National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop on converging NBIC technologies. Within the individual, group and societal level discussions, they addressed key areas of human activity: working, learning, aging, group interaction and human evolution. The consensus reached was to focus a national R&D priority on human enhancement. ---In re-opening the allowance for GM babies, whose genetic changes will be passed on to future generations, the FDA is taking the next steps toward toeing the line on genetic human enhancement. --In addition to accepting written comments, the FDA, in collaboration with the Office of Cellular Tissue and Gene Therapies Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, will also provide a free webcast of the two-day discussion. The meeting may be rescheduled without notice, the FDA warns. ---

How to Create a Root Cellar for Food Storage

Posted on by Daisy Luther

The Organic Prepper

In our agrarian past, we didn’t have  a grocery store in every town receiving shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables from all corners of the world on a daily basis.  Food preservation was a necessity to survive the long winter in most locations.  Over the centuries, many have gotten their winter produce fix from a simple non-tech solution:  the root cellar.

Last year when I did my One-Month Stockpile Challenge, I realized that this was a glaring omission in my food stockpile process, so this year, I’m determined to add this strategy to take my stockpile to the next level.  Fall is the perfect time to begin because for the next few months, those hard-shelled root vegetables as well as items like apples and potatoes, will be abundant and cheap.  

The first root cellars in recorded history were in Australia – 40,000 years ago it is indicated that they were burying their yam harvests in order to keep them fresh.  Since then, underground food storage caches have been found all over the world, as people took advantage of the cool moist atmosphere a few feet down.

THE IDEAL ROOT CELLAR

Root cellars are often in the basement of one’s home or in a separate concrete or stone cellar just outside the home.  Michigan State University offers these tips on conditions for the ideal root cellar:

The produce is still alive – stored carbohydrates of energy is consumed in the presence of oxygen and produces heat and carbon dioxide. To maintain the proper “living” conditions, at least three variables need to be considered: temperature, humidity and ventilation.

Temperature:

Most cold tolerant or cool season crops will store best between 33 and 35F or just above freezing and up to 40F. Warm season crops sensitive to chilling injury (tomatoes, cucumbers, etc) are typically stored at temperatures above 50F unless processing, cooking or eating will occur shortly after removal from storage. The temperature needs to be actively monitored and managed and will vary with the quantity of produce in the space.

Humidity:

Most root and leafy crops will store best at high humidity (+80%) or moisture levels. Root crops like carrots need to be stored in some moist medium to maintain quality. Some crops like onion, garlic and winter squash store better at low humidity level (less than 60%). Moisture may need to be added by wetting the floor or walls with water depending on the construction methods.

Ventilation:

Reasons for ventilation include: 1) removal of heat of respiration, 2) replenishing the oxygen supply, 3) removing volatile compounds from the produce that may effect flavor or sprouting like ethylene. The greater the density or amount of produce in the space, the more ventilation is needed. Ventilation or air tubes need to be planned prior to construction and place during construction.

Common storage categories are 1) cold dry, 2) cold moist, 3) cool dry, 4) cool moist. (source)

ORGANIZATION OF YOUR ROOT CELLAR

You can’t just place everything together and hope for your food to all remain fresh.  Some items cannot be stored together because they release a gas called ethylene.  Ethylene gas is a ripening agent,which hastens the decomposition of other produce.

For example, apples, pears, and tomatoes produce high amounts of ethylene and should be placed higher than other foods, and near vents if possible.  They should not be placed near potatoes and carrots, as the ethylene will cause those to spoil rapidly.

Some produce will easily absorb odors from items with strong smells.  Strong smelling foods like cabbages or turnips can be wrapped in newspaper to help contain the smell. Onions store well when hung in mesh bags.

Some produce is stored more successfully if cured at a temperature of 80-90 degrees F for 10 days before being placed into storage:

  • winter squash
  • onions
  • potatoes
  • garlic

Two small investments for your root cellar should be a thermometer to measure temperature and a hygrometer to measure humidity. This way you can ensure your conditions are right to keep your food fresh for the longest possible time.

Chemtrails and Geoengineering

There are mixed reports on chemtrails, which scientists who will talk about them term “geoengineering” to somehow make dumping toxic metals over our heads and poisoning us and our families sound respectable and, well, “scientific.”  Some of the so-called geoengineering “scientists” say that geoengineering is necessary to save the planet from disastrous climate change, but of course it is not happening now, it is just a proposal.  Others say nothing of the sort is even being contemplated (it’s all a conspiracy theory).  None of the official spokesmen of government acknowledge it is going on now.  They are confident that you do not ever seriously look up at the sky, and if for some reason you do, thanks to the dumbing down effect of public education and the media, you won’t know what you are looking at.-------The phenomenon itself is very easy to identify with the naked eye.  You can watch chemtrails being laid down on most days from just about anywhere in the U.S., and now in many other countries as well.  When planes fly at high altitudes, you can sometimes see a very short trail behind them which quickly disappears.  That is called a “contrail,” which is short for condensation trail, from water condensation, and it disappears as the water droplets disperse.  Then there are other planes that leave long trails behind them that do not disperseThese are the chemtrails.  They do not disperse because they are made up of solid particles, not water droplets.

No Longer A Theory

For a long time, starting when chemtrails started appearing all over the U.S. in the 1990′s, those who spoke of them were dismissed as crazy conspiracy theorists.  But now, there is solid evidence that chemtrails are realPatents describe some of the materials being sprayed.  Military whistleblowers confirm that these materials are being loaded on the jets for spraying.  We have video evidence of the spray nozzles on the planes, and of the billowing clouds of particulates being released.  Air, water and soil samples show the same toxic metals, including aluminum, barium and strontium, plus a list of other toxic materials in the mix, that are raining down on us almost every day.  There is no question of whether this is happening, nor is there any question that our health and the health of animals, plants and the entire biosphere are being drastically harmedNano particles such as those being sprayed can cross the blood brain barrier, and affect our brain function, while poisoning other parts of the body at the same time.  Aluminum and the other metals raise soil pH, radically reduce the health and numbers of all lifeforms, from soil microorganisms, to plants and trees, to animals, to humans.

We Need Chemtrails Like We Need Chemotherapy

Some of the “scientists” who admit the practice, which they call “geoengineerring” (i.e engineering the Earth), say geoengineering might be required to save us from global warming and climate change.  Of course, they are already doing that, but they just say it might become necessary.  They may admit it could have “some harmful effects” but that we might want it anyway just like we might need to use chemotherapy for cancer.-----Part of my background includes long experience in holistic health.  I can tell you that I would NEVER want chemotherapy for any kind of cancer or anything else, and neither would any doctor with a clear understanding of what it is, what it does to the human body, and that safe and effective natural alternatives exist.  Chemo “therapy” kills cells with very potent poisons, injected directly into your bloodstream.  The idea is that it kills cancer cells too, which is true, and the hope is it kills them before it kills you.  Often, that doesn’t work out very well, and you die first, as the cancer cells proliferate.  Even with the low dose version of chemotherapy practiced by some doctors I respect and whose motives are good, I am not convinced it is ever a good choice, compared to what else could be done.

Just Block the Sunlight With Toxic Metals, No Problem

With chemtrails (geoengineering), the idea is that by blocking the natural sunlight from reaching the Earth, cooling can occur, and presumably if one does this forever, damaging global warming could be avoidedThe same technology diverts rain patterns and wind currents in directions where “scientists” think they should be, since they are much wiser than the Creator.  Of course one problem with this theory is that the materials used (just like in chemotherapy) are deadly in themselves.  They kill the life on Earth, from soil organisms on up to us, and they block the sunlight that is needed for life (which also ends up cutting our oxygen supply).  There is of course a bright spot in this approach for GMO companies like Monsanto, who are currently working with universities like Cornell and others, to develop toxic GMO trees and plants that will live where natural lifeforms would die from aluminum poisoning.  The idea is that biotech companies will own all of nature!!!!!!!!!!

What’s the Motive?

I used to think these things were being done because of stupidity on the part of our rulers.  Now I realize that is partly true and partly not true.  It is true, because people in many levels of government and industry believe their superiors who say nothing bad will happen to them if they go ahead and spread these poisons everywhere, it’s just normal business, and scientists have already determined it’s a good idea.  That’s pretty far up there on the stupid meter, but it’s more comfortable for many people compared to having to actually think about what all this means and the future it is creating.  Where this is not coming from stupidity is when you look at the higher levels of control, and you get to where the design, programs and orders are coming down from eugenicistsThese are the people whose intent is to depopulate the Earth.  Most of them feel they will remain in the privileged elite, and only those “below them” will die, and also it’s necessary “for the Earth.”  Most or all of these levels of controllers are wrong, they are also slated for termination, as soon as their functions are completed.---Likewise, in what is referred to these days as “health care,” protocols like chemotherapy are being administered by those who don’t want to admit to themselves what they are really giving to the patient, though many of them would never take the treatment themselves.  But at the higher planning levels, the point of most of modern medicine is also eugenics, just like it is with chemtrails.---For backup details and documentation on chemtrails and geoengineering, you can start by studying material on the website www.geoengineeringwatch.org, as well as www.globalskywatch.com.  They will lead you to many other sources for study.  For a good explanation of the deadly effect of modern medicine, you can start by looking at the paper written by Dr Gary Null and Dr Carolyn Dean, called “Death by Medicine” (http://www.webdc.com/pdfs/deathbymedicine.pdf).  But the bottom line is, we are being gradually and intentionally killed, eliminated as undesirables from the planet, by those currently in control of government and economic systems. [F5]  And the purge is accelerating now, becoming much less gradual.  The truth is that we are dealing with a system that is very sophisticated, using psychological operations, deception and programming to get the members of the targeted population to do its work, and basically destroy themselves (that is us).    The details are complex, but the plan is not really that complicated.  Use the means at the disposal of the numerically small group in control to clear out the unwanted population of the Earth, leaving the planet for them, and perhaps a small number of slaves if the robots cannot handle every type of job for them.  That in a nutshell is where we are.

It’s Too Scary Too Look At

So why should we get into these details that, if we look at them seriously, could be very stressful and upsetting?  When I decided to go as deeply into the study of so many of these related fields, in order to see how we might improve the future of humanity, I had to make a decision that I would not get sucked into the dark mentality that pervades these malicious programs, and that balance has been hard, but necessary, to maintain.  Really, the only reason to become clearly aware of this situation is to look at what we can do about it.

The Use of Force is What They Hope For

One of our unalienable and basic rights, recognized by but not originated by, our Constitution, is the right to defend ourselves and others with force when attacked.   I think it is critical for us to maintain that right, but I don’t think it is the way to completely solve this problem of the massive system that has been set in motion for our destruction.  In fact, I think the rulers hope we will resort to physical force first, so they can unleash their minions and their best weapons on us, and not be seen as the aggressors.  They have been putting a lot of emphasis on getting ready to slaughter us en masse.[F6] 

What Do Our Oppressors Fear?

But while they hope for us to become the violent aggressors they can easily label as the “bad guys,” what they really fear is something much more subtle, and infinitely more powerful, that they will do practically anything they can to make sure we never know about.

Einstein taught the world that the amount of energy lying hidden in a single particle of matter is actually enough to reconstruct the entire universe.  E=mc2.  The power of consciousness in humans dwarfs this equation by comparison.  If we ever wake up and realize who we actually are, what we are really made of, and what that thing is that we refer to with the totally inadequate term “consciousness,” their dominance over us is finished.  This power belongs to every one of us, and lies waiting to be discovered. [F7]  It will enable us to do directly all we could do with any technology, and much more.  There lies the fear of those at the top of the dark system, who know about this power, but also know they will never have access to it, as it cannot be used by those of malevolent intent.---It is inevitable that we will discover it, as we had the awareness long ago.  When that will be is up to us.  This play is unfolding on many levels, though we are not aware of most of them.  Whether the suffering goes on and gets far worse, or we initiate a change into the experience of love and healing is actually in our hands.  We will look back at this time someday, which I hope is soon, know this to be true, and we will have made the change to set that power free.

Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid: novel hepatitis C virus antivirals that inhibit NS5B activity.

Antiviral Res. 2013 Apr;98(1):44-53

Authors: Kong L, Li S, Liao Q, Zhang Y, Sun R, Zhu X, Zhang Q, Wang J, Wu X, Fang X, Zhu Y

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects up to 170 million people worldwide and causes significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, current therapy is only curative in approximately 50% of HCV patients and has adverse side effects, which warrants the need to develop novel and effective antivirals against HCV. We have previously reported that the Chinese herb Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL) directly inhibited HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity (Kong et al., 2007). In this study, we found that the FLL aqueous extract strongly suppressed HCV replication. Further high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis combined with inhibitory assays indicates that oleanolic acid and ursolic acid are two antiviral components within FLL aqueous extract that significantly suppressed the replication of HCV genotype 1b replicon and HCV genotype 2a JFH1 virus. Moreover, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid exhibited anti-HCV activity at least partly through suppressing HCV NS5B RdRp activity as noncompetitive inhibitors. Therefore, our results for the first time demonstrated that natural products oleanolic acid and ursolic acid could be used as potential HCV antivirals that can be applied to clinic trials either as monotherapy or in combination with other HCV antivirals.

Polyphenols: a diverse class of multi-target anti-HIV-1 agents.

Curr Drug Metab. 2013 May;14(4):392-413

Authors: Andrae-Marobela K, Ghislain FW, Okatch H, Majinda RR

Abstract
Polyphenols are a versatile class of compounds that represent secondary metabolites from higher plants and which are abundantly present in the human diet. Epidemiological data suggest protective effects of polyhenols in relation to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, infectious diseases and age-related conditions. HIV/AIDS remains prevalent in many parts of the world as acute infection and as anti-retroviral drug (ARV)-managed chronic disease. Due to the nature of the human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and an increased use of ARVs many drug-resistant HIV strains have emerged and continue to do so. This makes it impossible to rely on one standard drug treatment regime. This review summarizes anti- HIV activities of polyphenols. It highlights the diversity of modes of action by which polyphenols - according to their respective compound classes - exert their activities. Additionally, this review discusses polyphenols as multi-target anti-HIV agents and provides the context of in-vivo and clinical data. Based on the presented data, a three-pronged approach for further anti-HIV drug
discovery is suggested applying methods of combinatorial medicinal chemistry on the diverse and sometimes unique scaffolds of polyphenols. The latter being selected according to the approach of 'reverse pharmacology' as a creative way to place safety and other clinical consideration at the beginning of the drug discovery- and development process.

Anti-HBV active constituents from Piper longum.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Apr 1;23(7):2123-7

Authors: Jiang ZY, Liu WF, Zhang XM, Luo J, Ma YB, Chen JJ

Abstract
In the screening search for Hepatitis B virus inhibitory agents from medicinal plants, the ethanol extract of Piper longum Linn. was found to possess superior anti-HBV activity in vitro. Bioassay-guided fractionation coupled with repeated purification resulted in the isolation of four new compounds, involving two new glycosides longumosides A (1) and B (2) and two new amide alkaloids erythro-1-[1-oxo-9(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-8,9-dihydroxy-2E-nonenyl]-piperidine (3), threo-1-[1-oxo-9(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-8,9-dihydroxy-2E-nonenyl]-piperidine (4), as well as two compounds 3β,4α-dihydroxy-2-piperidinone (5), 5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinone (6) from natural source for the first time. The structures of the four new compounds were determined by extensive analyses of the MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR data. Besides, the compounds 2-6, together with the known compounds 7-11 obtained previously, were assayed for their anti-HBV activity by using Hep G 2.2.15 cell line in vitro. Results suggested the compound piperine (7) possessed remarkable inhibitory HBV activity, against the secretion of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) with the Selectivity Index (SI) values of 15.7 and 16.8, respectively.

A Usage for Pepper-in supporting liver against infections

Three things you may want to incorporate—Black pepper—rosemary—and tumeric ---they would have a strong effect on the liver especially against this- add to soups—or foods daily and make a tea out of this using equal parts –

TOP A


 [F1]Funny –people cannot get this directly but can get it indirectly by consuming beef or veges which would have this manure ( shit) used as a fertilizing agent---which then would be utilized by anyone who consumed this

 [F2]The other forms of endocrine disrupting chemicals are those from foods –such as soy and the birth control pills and no adding testosterone from males who are being prescribed this---the hormonal chemicals being added from excretment alone getting into the water supply will cause a vast amount of disruptions which will cause a host of imbalances into the environment or eco systems

 [F3] This is the sales pitch to get everyone to accept this form of science---in other words you get hurt lose a limb and now we can genetically access the code and rebuild it----but with this current thought they are saying they can now not only replicate the genetics but can as well alter a human with a certain unpredictability---and they want to go through with this

 [F4]This is no doubt about creatring a totally subservient human connected directly to a AI where there lives a perfectly programmed---and discarded as they see fit or as they improve on the previous model---the perfect slave --educated and assimilates and obeys with out question  the perfect soldier with enhancements connected direct to a AI—or the perfect labourer—this may in the long run illegalize normal procreation due to the fact that the gene pool would be so regulated by the governing bodies for fear of an form of anomalies or rebels that would undermine the current system of the day---

 

 [F5]This is a Profound Statement---and would have to really pay attention here to what is being said---"by those currently in control of the gov't" this does not necessarily imply that this is human---and it does imply a different type of intelligence--during the second world war and first ---it was the eugenist who wanted these wars to install the means to get the NWO started on there campaign---they are the ones who initiated the collapse of europe to end the european autonomy and to consolidate under one---the usa and canada and mexico have also formed a union to re initiate a control of the populace---it is easier to cause issues to force people into the communities they want them to be concentrated in to manage them easier like a flock---and if you are not gestalt  in thought---everyone serving the hive queen then you are eliminated

 [F6]The problem here in this statement --is that these are eugenist--the do not care about you---whether you fight or not they are going to carry out there agenda---so it will be up to everyone to fight---and fight intelligently---teaching ourselves technology to  1 offset the effects of there attacks-2 to remove them from power--3 to restore the earth back to a more normal state where it should have been from the word get go

 [F7]Biblical statement--not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the Lord---and greater is he tha is in you then he that is in the world--

Abstract

Age-related dysbioses of intestinal microbiota and decline in the overall metabolic homeostasis are frequently found in the elderly. Probiotic supplementation may represent a way to prevent or reduce the senescence-associated metabolic disorders. The present study evaluated the metabolic impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 supplementation in relation to age by analyzing urine and feces metabolic profiles using 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and multivariate analysis. Adult (3 mo old) and aged (16 mo old) mice received an oral supplementation of the 2 probiotics (1 × 109 colony-forming units/d each)[F1]  or phosphate buffered saline (control) daily for 30 d. Urine and feces were collected for 48 h before the end of the study. Partial least squares–discriminant analysis showed that the urinary discriminant metabolites for the probiotic treatment included higher dimethylglycine in adult and aged mice,[F2]  lower sarcosine and nicotinate in adult mice, higher N-methylnicotinamide in adult mice and lower N-methylnicotinamide in aged mice compared with their controls. These results indicate a probiotic-induced modulation of homocysteine and NAD metabolism pathways, which have important implications because these pathways are involved in essential cellular processes that can be altered in senescence. The probiotic supplementation also modified the fecal metabolic profiles, inducing in both adult and aged mice higher 4-hydroxyphenylacetate and lower xylose in treated mice compared with their control mice, whereas valerate was greater in treated adult mice and lower in treated aged mice compared with their controls. The ANOVA simultaneous component analysis on urinary and fecal metabolic profiling showed an age × treatment interaction (P < 0.05), confirming the age-related modulation of the metabolic response to probiotic supplementation. The results suggest that L. acidophilus and B. lactis may prevent or reduce age-related metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract

The active form of vitamin D [1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, 1,25(OH)2D3] and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulate susceptibility to experimental colitis. The effect of the bacterial microflora on the susceptibility of C57BL/6 mice to dextran sodium sulfate–induced colitis was determined. Mice that cannot produce 1,25(OH)2D3 [Cyp27b1 (Cyp) knockout (KO)], VDR KO as well as their wild-type littermates were used. Cyp KO and VDR KO mice had more bacteria from the Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria phyla and fewer bacteria from the Firmicutes and Deferribacteres phyla in the feces compared with wild-type. In particular, there were more beneficial bacteria, including the Lactobacillaceae and Lachnospiraceae families, in feces from Cyp KO and VDR KO mice than in feces from wild-type. Helicobacteraceae family member numbers were elevated in Cyp KO compared with wild-type mice. Depletion of the gut bacterial flora using antibiotics protected mice from colitis. 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment (1.25 μg/100 g diet) of Cyp KO mice decreased colitis severity and reduced the numbers of Helicobacteraceae in the feces compared with the numbers in the feces of untreated Cyp KO mice. The mechanisms by which the dysbiosis occurs in VDR KO and Cyp KO mice included lower expression of E-cadherin on gut epithelial and immune cells and fewer tolerogenic dendritic cells that resulted in more gut inflammation in VDR and Cyp KO mice compared with wild-type mice. Increased host inflammation has been shown to provide pathogens with substrates to out-compete more beneficial bacterial species. Our data demonstrate that vitamin D regulates the gut microbiome and that 1,25(OH)2D3 or VDR deficiency results in dysbiosis, leading to greater susceptibility to injury in the gut.

Recipe—Simplest way to achieve this is to use a good kefir and or sour cream or yogurt will give you both the bacterial and Vitamin D ---you can open a Vitamin D3 and allow it  to be mixed in the food you are going to consume whether it is kefir –yogurt---cottage cheese---sour cream –ricotta—or even mix with a probiotic

Pigmented Potato Consumption Alters Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Damage in Men

Pigmented potatoes contain high concentrations of antioxidants, including phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and carotenoids. These bioactive compounds have been implicated in the inhibition or prevention of cellular oxidative damage and chronic disease susceptibility. We assessed the effects of pigmented potato consumption on oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers in adult males. Free-living healthy men (18–40 y; n = 12/group) consumed 150 g of cooked white- (WP), yellow- (YP), or purple-flesh potatoes (PP) once per day for 6 wk in a randomized study. Blood was collected at baseline and wk 6 to analyze total antioxidant capacity (TAC), DNA damage as assessed by plasma 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, C-reactive protein (CRP), inflammatory cytokines, lymphoproliferation, NK cytotoxicity, and phenotypes. Potatoes were analyzed for TAC, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and carotenoids. Compared with the WP group, the YP group had higher concentrations of phenolic acids (P < 0.002) and carotenoids (P < 0.001), whereas the PP group had higher concentrations of phenolic acids (P < 0.002) and anthocyanins (P < 0.001). Men who consumed YP and PP tended to have lower (P < 0.08) plasma IL-6 compared with those consuming WP. The PP group tended to have a lower plasma CRP concentration than the WP group (P = 0.07). The 8-OHdG concentration was lower in men who consumed either YP or PP compared with WP. Pigmented potato consumption reduced inflammation and DNA damage in healthy adult males. This offers consumers an improved nutritional choice in potato consumption.

Rosmarinic Acid Antagonizes Activator Protein-1–Dependent Activation of Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression in Human Cancer and Nonmalignant Cell Lines

Abstract

One mechanism through which bioactive food components may exert anticancer effects is by reducing the expression of the proinflammatory gene cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which has been regarded as a risk factor in tumor development. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a phenolic derivative of caffeic acid present in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Previous research documented that RA may exert antiinflammatory effects. However, the mechanisms of action of RA on COX-2 expression have not been investigated. Here, we report that in colon cancer HT-29 cells, RA (5, 10, and 20 μmol/L) reduced the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced COX-2 promoter activity (P < 0.05) and protein levels (P < 0.05). In addition, the cotreatment with RA reduced (5 μmol/L, P < 0.05; 10 and 20 μmol/L, P < 0.01) TPA-induced transcription from a control activator protein-1 (AP-1) promoter-luciferase construct and repressed binding of the AP-1 factors c-Jun (10 μmol/L; P < 0.01) and c-Fos (10 μmol/L; P < 0.05) to COX-2 promoter oligonucleotides harboring a cAMP-response element (CRE). The anti-AP1 effects of RA were also examined in a nonmalignant breast epithelial cell line (MCF10A) in which RA antagonized the stimulatory effects of TPA on COX-2 protein expression (5 μmol/L, P < 0.05; 10 and 20 μmol/L, P < 0.01), the recruitment of c-Jun and c-Fos (10 μmol/L; P < 0.01) to the COX-2/CRE oligonucleotides, and activation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) (10 μmol/L; P < 0.01), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Additionally, RA antagonized ERK1/2 activation in colon HT-29 and breast MCF-7 cancer cells (10 μmol/L; P < 0.01). Thus, we propose that RA may be an effective preventative agent against COX-2 activation by AP-1-inducing agents in both cancer and nonmalignant mammary epithelial cells.

Another Recipe to utilize is to take the potato that is coloured red-yellow or purple and use rosemary together to get a more pronounced effect in regard to this ---you will have a higher content of antioxidant materials working together to make it more potent

Zinc Discovery May Shed Light On Parkinson's, Alzheimer's

Sep. 30, 2013 — Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made a discovery that, if replicated in humans, suggests a shortage of zinc may contribute to diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which have been linked to defective proteins clumping together in the brain.--With proteins, shape is everything. The correct shape allows some proteins to ferry atoms or molecules about a cell, others to provide essential cellular scaffolding or identify invading bacteria for attack. When proteins lose their shape due to high temperature or chemical damage, they stop working and can clump together -- a hallmark of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.--The UW researchers have discovered another stress that decreases protein stability and causes clumping: a shortage of zinc, an essential metal nutrient.----zinc ions play a key role in creating and holding proteins in the correct shape. In a study just published in the online Journal of Biological Chemistry, Colin MacDiarmid and David Eide show that the gene Tsa1 creates "protein chaperones" that prevent clumping of proteins in cells with a zinc shortage. By holding proteins in solution, Tsa1 prevents damage that can otherwise lead to cell death.--For simplicity, the researchers studied the system in yeast -- a single-celled fungus. Yeast can adapt to both shortages and excesses of zinc, says MacDiarmid, an associate scientist. "Zinc is an essential nutrient but if there's too much, it's toxic. The issue for the cell is to find enough zinc to grow and support all its functions, while at the same time not accumulating so much that it kills the cell."---Cells that are low in zinc also produce proteins that counter the resulting stress, including one called Tsa1.---The researchers already knew that Tsa1 could reduce the level of harmful oxidants in cells that are short of zinc. Tsa1, MacDiarmid says, "is really a two-part protein. It can get rid of dangerous reactive oxygen species that damage proteins, but it also has this totally distinct chaperone function that protects proteins from aggregating. We found that the chaperone function was the more important of the two."---"In yeast, if a cell is deficient in zinc, the proteins can mis-fold, and Tsa1 is needed to keep the proteins intact so they can function," says Eide, a professor of nutritional science. "If you don't have zinc, and you don't have Tsa1, the proteins will glom together into big aggregations that are either toxic by themselves, or toxic because the proteins are not doing what they are supposed to do. Either way, you end up killing the cell."---While the medical implications remain to be explored, there are clear similarities between yeast and human cells. "Zinc is needed by all cells, all organisms, it's not just for steel roofs, nails and trashcans," Eide says. "The global extent of zinc deficiency is debated, but diets that are high in whole grains and low in meat could lead to deficiency."---If low zinc supply has the same effect on human cells as on yeast, zinc deficiency might contribute to human diseases that are associated with a build-up of "junked" proteins, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Eide says a similar protective system to Tsa1 also exists in animals, and the research group plans to move ahead by studying that system in human cell culture.

Aluminium phosphide-induced genetic and oxidative damages in vitro: attenuation by Laurus nobilis L. leaf extract.

Indian J Pharmacol. 2013 Jan-Feb;45(1):71-5

Authors: Türkez H, Toğar B

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The present investigation was undertaken to assess the protective effect of Laurus nobilis leaf extract (LNE) against aluminum phosphide (AIP)-induced genotoxic and oxidative damages stress in cultured human blood cells in the presence of a metabolic activator (S9 mix).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and chromosome aberration (CA) assays were used to assess AlP-induced genotoxicity and to establish the protective effects of LNE. In addition, we determined total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidative status (TOS) levels in AlP and LNE treated cultures for biomonitoring the oxidative alterations.
RESULTS: There was significant increases (P < 0.05) in both SCE and CA frequencies of cultures treated with AlP as compared to controls. Our results also showed that AlP (58 mg/l) caused oxidative stress by altering TAC and TOS levels. However, co-application of LNE (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/l) and AlP resulted in decreases of SCE, CA rates and TOS level and increases of TAC level as compared to the group treated with AlP alone.
CONCLUSION: The preventive role of LNE in alleviating AlP-induced DNA and oxidative damages was indicated for the first time in the present study.--PMID: 23543905 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Nearly half of Canadians facing major illness struggle financially

TORONTO - Nearly half of Canadians facing a major health incident like cancer or a stroke are struggling financially as a result of their illnesses, according to a report from Sun Life Financial.--The company's annual health index found that 40 per cent of those surveyed earlier this year reported feeling financially strapped after a serious health event or diagnosis, while 53 per cent of 45 to 54 year olds have been hit hard by unforeseen health care costs. While a majority of Canadians realized that a serious health event could impact their personal finances, only 13 per cent said they had money set aside for uncovered health care costs. "People don't necessarily see themselves as being at risk for a major health event, it's not something you want to think about," Kevin Dougherty, president of Sun Life Financial Canada (TSX:SLF), said in an interview. "As well, people maybe have a feeling that the health care system is going to look after them ... (but) a lot of the care that you need at home and in recovery is not necessarily covered by the public system." One of the problems, the report found, was that too many Canadians underestimate out-of-pocket health costs, especially when it comes to prescription drugs. Even though these are covered under company health plans, most people still have to pay a percentage of the cost themselves. Yet only 54 per cent of respondents said they expected to pay some amount out-of-pocket for their prescriptions. Over the past 12 months, Canadians spent an average of $1,354 on medical or health care products and additional services, Sun Life found. But few set aside money to cover health costs, with more than 81 per cent putting nothing aside. Among those who did, 43 per cent saved less than $1,000 in the past year and 44 per cent saved between $1,000 and $5,000. There are also too many people -- one fifth -- with no group insurance, personal insurance or health expense savings to help absorb the shock. Sun Life found that out of those impacted by a personal health crisis, 22 per cent turned to credit cards or personal lines of credit, another 22 per cent tapped into personal savings, 12 per cent borrowed from a loved one and five per cent were forced to either remortgage or sell their home. Dougherty said such choices added to people's stress levels as they battle a major illness, with 77 per cent reporting they experienced excessive levels of stress, up five percentage points from the previous year, with finances as the most likely cause of excessive stress across all age brackets. While the 45 to 54 year-old group faced the most financial pressure, generation Y bore the larger stress burden, at 84 per cent. "You've got this immediate stress that's playing out for the person, but once they've gotten through to the other side they've really derailed their retirement plans," Dougherty said. "That's all part of the stress picture as well." Despite the high ratings for stress, the poll found Canadians were feeling good about their physical and emotional health overall. The index reached a record high of 65.9 this year, up marginally from last year, and 4.7 per cent higher than the low recorded in 2011. The Sun Life Canadian Health Index was based on the findings of an Ipsos Reid poll conducted between May 10 to 24, with a sample of 2,400 Canadians from 18 to 80 years of age interviewed online. The health events discussed in the survey included heart attack, stroke, cancer, coronary bypass, chronic diseases, degenerative disorders, terminal illnesses and serious accidents, with 28 per cent of Canadians saying they've experienced a serious health event or an accident in their lifetime.

Move Over, Round-up- USDA Approves 2nd Generation GMOs That Can Withstand Even Deadlier Herbicide

The USDA[F1]  has just approved a new generation of GMOs for use with more deadly herbicides than the toxic glyphosate that currently taints farms across America.--You won’t hear about this on the mainstream though – it was all done very quietly in the hopes that no one would notice.--Bayer has developed a soybean that can withstand applications of the toxin isoxaflutole (IFT).-- IFT is classified as a probable human carcinogen. --- That’s right – they KNOW that it causes cancer and they created a plant with which they can use it anyway.  A plant that is meant to feed us or feed our livestock.  They’re going to douse the fields with it and allow it to leach into groundwater and contaminate soil.- The EPA knows this.  Read the data sheet [3] about this – you won’t believe your eyes when you see the assessment of this chemical that will soon be sprayed all over fields across America.---Based upon a battery of acute toxicity studies, Balance Herbicide is classified as Toxicity Category III. Isoxaflutole demonstrates developmental toxicity and has been classified as a Group B2 carcinogen (probable human carcinogen). The data available at this time indicate that isoxaflutole is very phytotoxic. Isoxaflutole is persistent and mobile, and may leach and accumulate in  groundwater and through surface water. (source [3])--- They KNOW and they are allowing it anyway---Since glyphosate wasn’t ruining the world fast enough, Bayer decided to up the ante.  Herbicide tolerant weeds have adapted to the pesticide and now to continue growing the GMO scourge, more toxic methods have to be used.---“Bayer’s new GE soybeans represent the next wave in agricultural biotechnology—crops that dramatically increase farmers’ use of and dependence on toxic herbicides,” said Bill Freese, science policy analyst at Center for Food Safety.---Dubbed FG72, these GE soybeans were developed by Bayer CropScience, the second-largest agrichemicals firm in the world.---The EPA has designated IFT as a “probable human carcinogen” based on animal tests in which it triggered liver and thyroid tumors in rats. IFT and its major breakdown product persist in surface waters, and despite its limited use, at present is frequently detected in tests. It is also toxic to aquatic organisms, wild plants and important crops (e.g. vegetables.). IFT is so toxic that three states—Wisconsin [4]Michigan [5] and Minnesota—rejected the Bayer-EPA label for this herbicide as insufficiently protective of human health, the environment and neighboring crops.-- First generation GE crops, like Monsanto’s Roundup Ready (RR) varieties, are resistant to the herbicide glyphosate. Skyrocketing use of glyphosate with RR crops has wiped out biological diversity in our fields, for instance nearly wiping out milkweed and thereby contributing to a dramatic decline in Monarch butterfly populations [6]. Glyphosate use has also triggered an epidemic of glyphosate-resistant weeds [7] that now infest roughly half of farmers’ fields [8].

 

 “Bayer and other biotech companies are now poised to introduce a host of ‘next-generation’ GE crops resistant to more toxic herbicides as a false ‘solution’ to massive weed resistance,” said Freese. “But their effect will be to generate still more intractable weeds resistant to multiple herbicides.” (source [9])----Also hopping on the second-generation GMO train are the ever-evil Monsanto, with new varieties of corn and cotton, as well as Dow, with new varieties of corn and soybeans.---The EPA and the USDA are supposed to be our safety net – they are supposed to be agencies of protection. Instead, they allow the big biotech companies to set their own rules and policies.  There is absolutely no excuse for approving the use of a toxin that is a probable human carcinogen and yet the agencies established to protect  us did it anyway.---We are already in the midst of a cancer epidemic in this country. Nearly half of the population will deal with cancer at some point in their lives.----The President’s Cancer Panel [10], a three-person panel that reports to the U.S. president on the National Cancer Program calculated that 41% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes.  If you’re male, the chances are 1 in 2 that you will be diagnosed with some type of cancer, and women have a 1 in 3 chance of the dreaded diagnosis.-----A Global Cancer Statistics [11] for 2011 study names cancer as the #1 killer in the western world and #2 in developing countries. (source [12])[F2] --With this new USDA approval, I’d say the odds of getting cancer just got a whole lot higher.--No longer is just avoiding GMOs and eating organic enough[F3] .  Our water supply is tainted. Our land is contaminated.  Even the air we breathe is subject to pesticide drift.  You need only to look at the petri dish that is the Hawaiin island of Molokai [13] to see what happens to a population that is subjected to these types of farming techniques and that occurred with the LESS TOXIC glyphosate. (“Less toxic glyphosate” are words I never thought I would type!)--Do you still think I’m overreacting about GMOs?  Only through the development of genetically modified plants that can withstand these deadly poisons would the probable human carcinogens be able to be used.--IFT is a chemical weapon and the fields of America are the warzones.

 Radio Wave Illness

 

The only known cure for Radio Wave Sickness is to stop being exposed to high frequencies.

There are many ways to approach the problem of stopping your exposure to high frequencies from electrical pollution. They range from the global to the case specific. Global solutions on the legislative front are discussed on the page entitled Legislation. This page discusses actions you can take on your own to minimize your exposure to high frequencies due to electrical pollution and then briefly touches on what can be done at the utility level. It then goes on to discuss steps to take to reduce your exposure to transmitted high frequencies. This has become increasingly important as the use of transmitter technology has exploded. The Solutions page should be printed and used almost like a checklist.

Click here for a printer friendly version

I have compiled this list of steps to take based on my own experience and that of others. The steps listed are ones that I know to be helpful. Most benefit no particular party. None benefit me financially. I do not make income off this website.

I realize that there are many products available promising quick fixes. There are no quick fixes. Reducing exposure to radiofrequency radiation from all sources is the only way to recover. Complete recovery takes time. Immediate improvements in energy, sleep quality, number of headaches, and other symptoms that come on quickly with exposure usually resolve quickly when exposure is eliminated. Other damage to nerves, muscles, mental function, digestion, immune system function and so on can take a year or more to repair itself and may never do so fully. The longer the exposure and the greater the damage, the longer it takes to repair. Thus, time is of the essence in reducing your exposure. The extreme sensitivity to radiofrequency radiation that most people with radiofrequency sickness experience can fade a bit if exposure can be virtually eliminated, but I have yet to see it go away. Those who are beginning to notice effects, but are not extremely sensitive yet, should immediately reduce their exposure as much as possible to avoid getting full-blown radiofrequency sickness.

Clean power enters the home at 60Hz. Electrical Pollution is 60 Hz electricity polluted with high frequency signals or "dirty" power flowing on the wires and through the earth. People exposed to excessively "dirty" power or wireless communication signals may develop Radio Wave Sickness.

 

 

high blood pressure, slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath.

  • Respiratory: sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma.
  • Dermatological: skin rash, itching, burning, facial flushing.
  • Ophthalmologic: pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.
  • Others: digestive problems; abdominal pain; enlarged thyroid, testicular/ovarian pain; dryness of lips, tongue, mouth, eyes; great thirst; dehydration; nosebleeds; internal bleeding; altered sugar metabolism; immune abnormalities; redistribution of metals within the body; hair loss; pain in the teeth; deteriorating fillings; impaired sense of smell; ringing in the ears.

Please follow the initial steps in both the electrical pollution section and the transmitted radiofrequency radiation section in order since they are arranged from most to least important. Many of the later steps will not work if the first steps are not taken first. Good luck! If you have any questions please email me at: webmaster@electricalpollution.com

Steps to reduce your exposure to high frequencies at home from Electrical Pollution

  • Turn off or unplug all devices that repel or kill deer, rodents, mosquitos, or anything else by emitting frequencies. (We often test devices on animals to see if they are good for humans. The very effects these devices are designed for are telling you that they are not safe for people.)
  • Unplug or turn off any other devices that claim to generate frequencies. (People with radiofrequency sickness need less exposure not more. Individual response to individual frequencies varies widely and there is far more likelihood of a negative effect than a positive one, in spite of claims to the contrary. Artificial sources claiming to generate the earth's magnetic field can also be dangerous and unnecessary- the earth's field is still there. Read Dr. Neil Cherry's paper "Cardiac Effects of Natural and Artificial EMR" for information about the profound effect the earth's natural electromagnetic environment can have on cardiac function.)
  • Have an electrician remove dimmer switches and halogen lights. If you want mood lighting, use three-way lights. Unlike with dimmer switches, you will save electricity on the low settings.
  • Have an electrician bypass or remove variable speed frequency drives (VSFD) where possible. Without appropriate filters they are very bad sources of high frequencies. If you have a VSFD on your motors in your heating and/or cooling system, it can easily be bypassed by the service person. The motor would then just run at high speed. Little efficiency is lost when this is done on a heating or cooling system. Energy efficient washing machines often have variable speed motors and thus require at least one filter.
  • Touch lamps, plasma TVs, most compact fluorescent bulbs, fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, some full-spectrum lights, and wireless plug-in telephone jacks are very bad sources of high frequencies and are best removed.
  • Remove flashers from decorative lighting. Each on or off event results in a high frequency transient.
  • Check if you have the new or old style microwave. The old style turned the microwave signal on and off in order to reduce the power. The new style essentially has a dimmer switch on the microwave beam turning the power down. It causes tremendously dirty power. If you have a new style microwave, getting rid of it is the best solution. Next best is to get a number of filters to be used right at the microwave and in outlets on that circuit, so the high frequencies do not get onto the wiring all over the house. (Microwaves often leak microwave radiation when operating and can pose a hazard at large distances for these reasons, even if they do not cause overly "dirty" power.)
  • Only use laptops on battery. Recharge them when you are not around. They generate a large amount of "dirty" power and the transformer on the charging cord generates a very large field. Also use an external wired keyboard and mouse to reduce you exposure to the high frequencies from the processor. (See section on transmitters since most computers come with them nowadays.)
  • Eliminate exposure to transmitted radiofrequencies. See "Non-Grid Sources of Exposure to High Frequencies" below.
  • Use a Microsurge Meter to check for other polluting or malfunctioning electrical devices. (While checking readings, keep in mind that readings which change quickly are worse than steady readings. The faster and greater the change, the worse they are.)
    • Be sure to check high speed internet routers. (A handful of malfunctioning routers have been found that caused incredibly bad electrical pollution levels.)
    • Be sure to check electronics. Some transformers converting AC power to DC power (the boxes that plug into the wall) are poorly designed and highly polluting. They will pollute as long as they are plugged in and the outlet is on.
  • If one or more consumer products are responsible for making you ill, please report them to the Consumer Product Safety Commission at 1-800-638-2772 or a href="http://www.cpsc.gov">http://www.cpsc.gov. Be prepared with the product name, model and/or serial number, and the symptoms it causes. These dangerous consumer products will not be either removed from shelves or re-engineered unless complaints are filed.
  • Eliminate sources of arcing (a source of very high frequencies):
    • Have an electrician inspect for and eliminate loose or poor connections;
    • Have the utility or a professional trim branches bumping or touching overhead wires (Alliant Energy even states in their leaflet entitled "Energy Basics: Power Surges" that "An external power surge, stemming from outside your home, is most commonly caused by a tree limb touching a power line...");
    • Have your electrician replace poorly made switches, fixtures, and appliances.
    • Have your utility replace split-bolt connectors with crimp-on connectors, if they have split-bolt connectors on your line. (If you have split-bolt connectors on line you own, you should have an electrician replace those as well.) Utilities have not installed split-bolt connectors in quite awhile because they have a tendency to loosen up and arc as time passes. Even crimp-on connectors in high stress areas may need periodic re-crimping.
  • Have your electrician make sure the wire between the meter and your electrical box is large enough and in good shape. If it is too small, it is a bottleneck for high frequencies and a fire hazard.
  • Plug in high frequency filters. (Such as those available from Stetzer Electric. Stetzer Electric can be reached by phone at (608) 989-2571 or at their website http://www.stetzerelectric.com/. Questions can be directed to sales@stetzerelectric.com).
    Approximately 20 Graham/Stetzer filters are needed for the average house. They should be plugged in near sources of high frequencies, as well as, frequently used electrical appliances. (Some devices generate pollution that the capacitor will lower at the receptical, but will not lower at the device. This is a particular concern when people are close to the device, as they are with hairdryers, sewing machines, and low voltage halogen desk and reading lamps.) A couple should be plugged into outlets installed off of both A and B phases next to the main service box. (Have your electrician use properly rated stranded wire to wire the outlets for maximum filter effectiveness.) The rest should be scattered throughout the house. If improvement occurs only slowly, more filters may be necessary. If way too few are installed initially, no difference may be observed, so it is very important to put in sufficient quantity from the start.
    For specific directions on installation which will help you maximize the filtering effect, as well as help you get a good idea of how many you will need, go to http://www.stetzerelectric.com/filter/
    See the picture Dr. Graham provided of the response of electrical pollution to a 20 mF capacitor, which was documented with a spectrum analyzer.
  • Have a plumber install a PVC pipe or a commercially available dielectric union between the house pipes and the water/sewer system, which has become an alternate return path for electricity.
  • Have your heating or gas technician install a commercially available dielectric union just after the gas pipes enter your home to electrically separate the gas tank or the system of natural gas pipes from the gas pipes inside your home, often these pipes have become an alternate path for electricity or radiofrequencies.
  • Have the phone company install an Radio Frequency (RF) Filter on your phone line. The phone line can conduct the electric utilities ground currents, including high frequencies, since they are both grounded to the same earth.
  • Some people have found installing shielded phone wire to be helpful.
  • Make sure new electronics come with appropriate harmonic noise filters already installed.
  • A caution on old wiring, particularly knob and tube and cloth insulated wiring: This wiring was designed long before modern electronic loads, non-linear loads, were even conceived of. It is not, therefore, designed to be used by them. The high frequencies generated by them can cause overheating, resulting in a fire hazard. (Blown-in insulation touching knob and tube wiring is inherently a fire hazard.) It is important to have an electrician check that the fuses/circuit breakers on old wiring are the appropriate size. People have been known to tire of constantly tripping fuses/breakers and replace them with larger ones instead of re-distributing loads or re-wiring. This is a fire hazard and should be corrected.
  • Convince your neighbors to do the same.

Other mitigation measures:

  • Walls do not stop electromagnetic fields. Be aware of this when arranging furniture. Sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) to be aware of as you place your furniture include transformers for electronic gadgets (the box at the end of the cord), televisions, computers, electric clocks (don't put them right next to the head of your bed), fluorescent lights, and your electrical service panel and electrical meter, as well as wires feeding them. You will also want to be aware of where major wire bundles run in the walls of your house and keep the time you spend near them to a minimum. Be aware that televisions and computer screens with cathode ray tubes (CRT) frequently have electromagnetic fields around the sides and back that are as high, or higher, than those in the front. Electric blankets and heating pads should also be avoided, particularly old models. Any electric device will have an electromagnetic field. Both Warning: The Electricity Around You May Be Hazardous to Your Health. How to protect yourself from electromagnetic fields by Ellen Sugarman and Crosscurrents by Robert O. Becker, M.D. have sections discussing risks posed by specific household appliances. Crosscurrents by Robert O. Becker, M.D. also discusses mechanism of action and sundry other interesting items that relate to electromagnetic fields and health. I suggest that you read one of them or one of the other references found on the reference sheet in the Further Info section for a more in depth discussion.
  • The frequencies on electrical wiring are now high enough that they radiate. This can be measured using a Multidetector II Plus/Profi meter. Lamps and other ungrounded items radiate the worst. Putting a cord with a grounded plug on helps. Lamps and items with the least amount of metal seem to radiate least. Metal shades and reflectors seem to direct and concentrate the radiation.
  • Use rubber gloves when washing dishes or working in the sink. Also stand on a non-conductive mat. Both increase the resistance of the path through your body.
  • For computers, put aluminum flashing on desktop and connect it to aluminum flashing under chair with a width of aluminum flashing. If there are different pieces, they need to have a good connection such as aluminum rivets between them. The aluminum flashing can be under a plastic mat like ones used to protect the floor from desk chairs. This creates a path to the floor for the contact current to take that is lower resistance than your body. (See also the transmitter section since most computers come with transmitters nowadays.)
  • Wear conductive socks or copper insoles (at least 2" wide by 16/1000" thick) connected with stranded wire (at least a single 10 gauge wire or 16 gauge lamp cord with both wires connected in parallel). www.lessemf.com sells the socks. Electricity travels through the more conductive pathway this provides, instead of through your body from one foot to the other.
  • Shut off non-essential circuits especially while sleeping. This should help you sleep and feel better. (You will get the best results if all circuits in your bedroom or the room you are in are off, including circuits in the walls and floors that may service other rooms. If this is not possible for whatever reason, being aware of where the live wires are and keeping your distance is also effective.)
  • Use a digital multimeter or oscilloscope with the red and black leads each clipped onto a different square of aluminum foil to quantify whether shutting off particular circuits helps reduce your exposure in your favorite areas. For example, in bed place one foil where your head would be and the other where your lower extremities would be. Read the voltage level that results, then carefully turn off circuits and see what readings result. Another example would be placing one aluminum square on the back of a favorite chair and the other on the bottom, not touching each other. You can then repeat the readings as above.
  • Sleep on a wood-framed bed.
  • Sleep on a mattress without springs e.g. futon with no box springs.
    • Conductive cloth is available that can be put under the mattress pad to reduce the amount of current the bedsprings induce into your body. It should be as wide as a fitted sheet and touch the floor at the head end of the bed.
    • Sleeping in a Faraday cage may also be helpful. There are conductive cloth versions available. Some people have found them to be helpful. Some people have found that it makes the problem worse. If you get one, get it at a place with a good return policy. I would take all the other steps first.
  • After reducing your exposure to radiofrequencies using the others steps on this page, consider removing metal fillings if appropriate. More information about the interaction between fillings and radiofrequency radiation can be found at http://www.flcv.com/EMFeff.html. The Dental Amalgam Mercury Fillings website at http://www.amalgam.org was recommended to me as a good resource to start with. This is not a topic with which I have any experience, but I have heard from others who have found removing amalgam fillings to be very helpful.

Other potential grid-related sources of exposure to high frequencies:

  • Equipment running at cell towers and strobing lights that are installed without an RF Choke. Information about eliminating this cause of electrical pollution
  • Alternative energy systems installed without filters to clean up the waveform the inverter generates. Consult a power quality specialist.
  • Work or school. A specialist should evaluate the power quality and recommend appropriate remediation measures. If that is not a possibility, the portable high frequency filters may be able to provide some relief. (I carry eight and a meter with me whenever I leave the house. I find plugging them in at meetings, friends homes, etc. to be a tremendous help.)
  • New watt-hour meters (your electrical rate meter) may include modern digital circuitry which generates pollution right at the meter. This may be more likely to happen if the meter is designed to be read remotely. If you notice a change in your health after the meter has been changed, check the meter with an AM radio (as described in "Mitigation of Electrical Pollution in the Home"). Please also see the Transmitting Utility Meter Page and the transmitter section on this page for more information about transmitting utility meters and what can be done about them.

What can your utilities do locally to reduce your exposure to "dirty" power?

  • First and most important: enforce the section of the IEEE 519-1992 that specifies allowable distortion of current and voltage on return current. In other words, the largest polluters will have to clean up their power to certain specifications before returning it to the primary neutral. The utilities would still have to "clean" up after the individual polluters who already meet the specifications, but it would significantly reduce the overloading of the system.
  • Make sure that wires at your house and your neighbor's house are connected with crimp-on connectors instead of split-bolt connectors. Split-bolt connectors can be a source of arcing and, therefore, high frequencies.
  • Make sure that tree branches are trimmed so they are not touching the wires. Branches rubbing or bumping the wires can cause arcing. (With a little care trees can actually be trimmed away from wires without being mutilated.) Bare wires are more likely to arc, causing high frequencies, than insulated wires.
  • Install a primary neutral wire that is 225% the size of the phase wires all the way to the substation and/or filters on the utility side to filter the high frequencies.
  • Install transformers with filters built in.
  • Make sure that the wires are in good shape. In some areas the wires have overheated so much from being overloaded with high frequencies that the insulation is hanging off in shreds.

The Solution: Both the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) have identified remedies for "dirty" power and electrical ground currents.

Non-Grid Sources of Exposure to High Frequencies

  • Spark plugs are a source of exposure to high frequencies in gas cars. The high frequencies from the arcing transmit directly and travel on the car wiring. The firing of the spark plugs can be heard on a properly tuned AM radio. Filters used by audiophiles are helpful for filtering them off. We have a stripped down model truck and disconnected the unnecessary wires. (The wires had been run and connected for all the options we did not get.) We also got a diesel for our primary vehicle. Diesels do not have spark plugs.
  • Speakers generate high frequency electromagnetic fields. The high frequency electromagnetic fields are generated by the electromagnet used to move a diapham that creates the sound waves we enjoy listening to. Speakers are usually only a problem when close by, as in vehicles.
  • Computer monitors or TVs that have cathode ray tubes emit ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, primarily toward the front of the screen. Maintaining sufficient distance and being off to the side can help. I find I have trouble getting meaningful work done on a computer with a CRT monitor because of the forced close proximity. I have switched to a flat screen (LCD) and find I have no trouble unless the power quality is really bad.

Transmitted radiofrequency radiation (wireless technology)

Important information about transmitters: Safety standards in the United States are based on tissue heating. The strength of signal required to cause tissue heating was calculated and then a safety factor of 100 was taken. No account was taken for other more subtle biological effects of exposure to high frequencies. Thus, transmitters in the United States (I believe Canada is the same.) transmit at strengths far higher than permitted in countries where the health effects (other than tissue heating) of high frequencies are used as the basis for regulation of signal strength. Please read this letter from the Radiation Protection Division of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the limitations of the FCC standards. The Salzburg Standards recommend no more the 1 microwatts per meter squared. The Russians recommend no more than 10 microwatts per meter squared. The U.S. allows 1,000 microwatts per meter squared. (Cell phones taking a call have been measured transmitting over 2,000 microwatts per meter squared at 10 feet away.)

Our Volkswagon Jetta handbook actually warns against cellphone use in the car due to the potential for the signal to fry the microprocessor. If the signal has the potential to damage electronics during normal usage, what does it do to sensitive biological systems? Incidentally, the phone does ramp up the signal if it is not getting through to the tower enough and due to the blocking effect of the metal in the vehicle, this often happens in motor vehicles. This results in a greater exposure for you and others when a cellphone is used in a vehicle.

Antennas transmit in all directions from the antenna. This results in substantial exposure to yourself and others around you (kind of like second hand cigarette smoke) each time you use the phone. There are gadgets being sold that are supposed to shield you or direct the signal. An informal test of one of the signal directors showed it to be useless. Not only that but at 10 feet the signal from the phone was still overloading the meter that read up to 2000 SAR, the highest the phone should output when read directly at the phone. Thus, everyone in the room was exposed to a signal that was stronger than deemed safe. Because people using these "protectors" use their wireless technology more than they otherwise would without real additional protection, these things are dangerous.

I think it worthwhile noting that although it is a good idea to use a non-transmitting air-tube headset with your phone to reduce the risk of brain cancer, depending on where the phone is set or worn while doing so, it may increase the risk of cancer in other parts of the body due to microwave exposure. The industry often claims that the phones could not possibly cause brain tumors because most of the signal bounces off of your skull. Your abdomen has no such shield, or at least mine doesn't. Thus, wearing or carrying a phone, with the battery installed, on a belt, in a pocket, or in a purse is likely to result in higher cancer risk in the exposed areas. No one is tracking these cancers related to cellphone use or wireless technology use of any kind.

Some cellphones transmit more than others. Smart phones transmit almost continuously in order to update whatever information they have been asked to keep on top of. The more data the more power dense the signal is likely to be. Almost all newer cell phones continuously transmit a GPS signal even when off. In other words, they always transmit a microwave signal. This is a "safety" feature so that you can always be located. However, continuous exposure to microwaves is unsafe. (As an aside, I find it interesting that people are willing to pay to carry around a device that tracks their every movement, but if the government asked them to do so at no charge there would, quite rightly, be an uproar.) According to a news story by NPR the data is being used to track people and their movements in many different ways. Here is a link to a similar story in Technology Review titled Mobile Data: A Gold Mine for Telcos.

Finally, exposure to high frequencies, including from cellphones, decreases melatonin secretion. Melatonin is a hormone that is essential for a good night sleep. It also has antioxidant and cancer fighting properties. Sleeping with a cellphone or other transmitter that is not turned off is therefore not conducive to getting the best night of sleep and has the potential for further health consequences.

The Natural Healing Power Of Oak Trees And Acorns

America and the Northern Hemisphere are home to many varieties of oaks. Oaks have been used for ceremony, food, medicine and building for as long as humans have been around. In many traditions, the oak is revered as a sacred tree.

Oaks were used as medicine and food for millennia. Many Native American groups used oak to treat bleeding, tumors, swelling and dysentery. European herbalists used oak as a diuretic and as an antidote to poison. Snuff made from powdered root was used to treat tuberculosis. The leaves have been employed to promote wound healing. Oak has been used as a Quinine substitute in the treatment of fevers.---Tannins provide many of the healing properties of oak. Tannins bind with proteins in tissues, making a barrier resistant to bacterial invasion. Tannins strengthen tissues and blood vessels. They reduce inflammation and irritation, especially of skin and mucus membranes.---Modern scientific research confirms that oak possesses the following healing properties: astringent, fever reducing, tonic, antiseptic, anti-viral, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory actions. In addition, oak has been used to get rid of worms and other parasites.-----The plant parts used for healing include the inner bark, leaves and acorns.--Oak is excellent for controlling loose stools. Either a tincture (alcohol extract) or decoction (boiled tea) of root bark is effective. Decoctions are used to promote healing of bleeding gums when used as a mouthwash. Finely powdered dried inner bark has been used to control nosebleeds. Oak is said to relieve poor digestion. It has been used to treat ulcers internally and externally. Finely powdered dried inner bark can be sprinkled on external ulcers to soothe, reduce swelling, prevent infection and strengthen tissue. A decoction or tincture can be used to heal internal ulcers. Compresses made from a root bark decoction soothe and shrink hemorrhoids, varicose veins and bruises. A bark decoction can be used as a gargle to relieve a sore throat. Skin problems such as rashes, irritation and swelling may be relieved with the application of poultices or compresses made from the root bark or leaves. Oak has been used in the treatment of cholera and gonorrhea. Decoctions have been used as douches to treat vaginal infections---Leaves may be used fresh for first aid in the field. They can be softened by immersing them in boiling water or steaming until limp. If boiling water is not available, the leaves may be softened by crushing them. Apply the leaves topically to the affected area as an antiseptic, soothing poultice to reduce swelling, skin irritation or bleeding.---Acorns are soaked to remove tannins prior to using the acorn meat for food. The tannin rich soaking water has antiseptic and anti-viral properties. It may be used as a wash to relieve skin irritations from rashes, minor burns and poison ivy.

To prepare a decoction of oak, use 1 teaspoon of dried inner bark per cup of water. Simmer the herb and water, covered, for 20 minutes. Strain the herb from the liquid before using the decoction. If using internally, drink 1 cupful of the decoction 3 times daily. However if the decoction is being used to relieve loose stools, drink one-fourth cup after each loose stool.----If preparing a tincture, use a spirit that contains 60 percent alcohol. Herbalists recommend that 1-2 milliliters may be consumed three times daily.-----Fresh leaves may be gathered for first aid as needed. The inner bark is the most useful medicinal part of the oak. It is bitter and astringent in taste. The inner bark is best gathered in spring from roots protruding through the ground.  Dry it and store the bark in a cool dark place. Acorns are gathered in the fall.---Oak bark combines well with chamomile for soothing the digestive system. Do not use oak for people who suffer from constipation. Oak is not recommended for large open wounds or for treatment of weeping eczema.---Native Americans relied extensively on acorns for food. Years ago, sacks or baskets of acorns were placed in streams to leach the bitter tannins from them.--One large oak tree can produce 1,000 pounds of acorns in a year. Acorns are nutrient dense foods. They are lower in fat and sugars then many other nuts. Acorns provide about 125 calories per ounce. They are rich in polyunsaturated fats, vitamin B6, copper, manganese and potassium.---Acorns vary in flavor from not bitter to too bitter to eat. Acorns that are produced in one year tend to have a mild flavor while the ones that are only produced every two years are bitter. Oaks that have smooth oval shaped leaves have tastier acorns than those from trees that have pointy lobed shapes. Species that produce acorns with large caps generally yield bitter acorns. Oaks yielding the best tasting acorns include: white oak, live oak and swamp chestnut oaks. Red oaks, turkey oaks and laurel oaks produce bitter acorns. Cream colored acorn meats taste best. Acorns with yellow or orange meat are bitter. Individual trees of the same species produce acorns with differing levels of palatability.----Acorns for food use need to be gathered in the fall to avoid bacterial and insect contamination. Throw away any with insect holes in them.---All acorns require leaching in order to remove the bitter taste of tannins. Some need just a couple of changes of water while others require several. Acorns can be leached by either of two methods.[F4] 

Method One -----Cover the unshelled acorns with cold water. Throw away any that float. As the water turns brown, change it repeatedly. This can take days or even weeks. Using the cold water method is beneficial if you intend to use the acorns as a thickener.

Method Two-------Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Pour in acorns. Throw away the ones that float. As the water turns brown, heat a second large pot of water to boiling. Strain the acorns from the first pot. Place in the second pot. Keep repeating until the acorns are no longer bitter.

Baked or Heat Method

To dry leached acorns, fry them in an un-oiled frying pan, stirring frequently, or place them in a 150-200 degree oven for about 20 minutes. They can also be spread on a screen in a single layer to air dry for several weeks.-----Store the acorns in a sealed container. They will keep for about 6 months. When you are ready to use the acorns, crack them open with a nut cracker. Acorns stay fresher if shells are not removed until you are ready to use them.

To make acorn flour, place the shelled acorns in a blender and process until fine. Store the flour in a cool dark place. It keeps well in the freezer. Use acorn flour as a nutritious substitute for flour. In baked goods; do not substitute more than one fourth to one half of the regular flour in a recipe with acorn flour. The acorns can be kept in larger pieces and used like any other nut.

Water extract of Cinnamomum cassia Blume inhibited human respiratory syncytial virus by preventing viral attachment, internalization, and syncytium formation.

J Ethnopharmacol. 2013 May 20;147(2):321-6

Authors: Yeh CF, Chang JS, Wang KC, Shieh DE, Chiang LC

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: is a popular traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has Cinnamomum cassia Blume been used to manage respiratory tract disease, including common cold and chronic bronchitis for thousand years. Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is one of the leading causes of severe lower respiratory tract illness worldwide. No effective therapeutic modality against HRSV infection has been proved. It is unknown whether Cinnamomum cassia is effective against HRSV.
AIM OF THE STUDY: This study tested the hypothesis that Cinnamomum cassia can effectively decrease HRSV-induced plaque formation and syncytium formation in respiratory mucosal cell lines.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Antiviral activity of the hot water extract of Cinnamomum cassia against HRSV was tested by plaque reduction assay in both human upper (HEp-2) and low (A549) respiratory tract cell lines. Its ability to inhibit the synthesis of viral fusion (F) protein was examined by Western blot assay.
RESULTS: Cinnamomum cassia dose-dependently inhibited HRSV-induced plaque formation in both HEp-2 and A549 cell lines (p<0.0001). Cinnamomum cassia was more effective when given before viral infection (p<0.0001) mainly by inhibition of viral attachment (p<0.0001) and internalization (p<0.0001). Cinnamomum cassia could inhibit F protein production and syncytium formation to interfere with HRSV spreading.
CONCLUSIONS:
Cinnamomum cassia prevented airway epithelia from HRSV infection through inhibiting viral attachment, internalization and syncytium formation. Cinnamomum cassia could be a candidate to develop therapeutic modalities to manage HRSV infection in the future.---PMID: 23518419 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Recipe---A simple Tea or Broth made with this bark would appear to be of profound benefit  in regard to fighting of pathogens---so make teas and drink this regularly
