By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) Tony Cartalucci, LocalOrg When money and power are involved, those standing to gain the most will say and do anything to push their agenda forward. Five centuries ago, saying and doing anything involved exploiting people’s superstitions and their faith in religion. Today, saying and doing anything means also exploiting science. Science, engineering, and design are amongst our most practical and effective tools to make real and meaningful change. But because they are so powerful and appealing, the potential for their abuse in the wrong hands is immense. Compounding this is the naivety of those who are fascinated [More]

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By Daisy Luther There’s a big movement towards frugality afoot these days. It probably has something to do with our declining economy, record unemployment levels, and the increasing price of food, but only the wisest families are paying attention to these things. The rest of the folks are blithely going on as they always have, wondering why on earth they keep spending more money each week at the store. If you are just beginning to move towards a thriftier lifestyle, you might be looking at the big picture. You could be asking yourself things …read more Read [More]

By Christina Sarich If you’ve understandably compared airplane food to tasteless cardboard, you’ve at least been eating cuisine that wasn’t contaminated with radiation. Now, Nippon Airways Co. Ltd. (NAC) will be serving their customers in the friendly skies ‘Fukushima food.’ From this March until May, they will feature food from the Fukushima prefecture, part of a marketing campaign that was meant to highlight food from all over Japan. In their internationally-connecting lounges, NAC will serve Fukushima peaches, tomatoes, and beef, as well as 12 kinds of rice wine.

By Brock Schilling Believe it or not, monarch butterflies are in serious danger of going extinct. So much so, that they are a candidate for becoming listed as an endangered species by the Endangered Species Act. According to scientist the monarch population is only 10 percent of what it was 25 years ago. The number one culprit for the demise of monarchs? Genetically Modified Foods. GMO crops are designed to be resistant to herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup which kill off the monarch’s sole food source: milkweed. It’s estimated that GMO crops are responsible for destroying almost 80% of the natural [More]

By Linda Easthouse Did you know I can tell what is going on in your heart by what is happening in your shoulders? The medical world wants you to check your cholesterol and take Statin meds for it. Then check your blood pressure and take more meds for that…. But you and I both know that you can’t medicate your way out of something that you ate your way into and you can’t ignore your way out of what you worried and feared yourself into. When I think of heart problems I want to know the root cause. For heart [More]

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist Post) By Aaron Dykes A report from Baker Creek Heirloom Rare Seed’s catalog explains how the genetic engineering of crops is having real life consequences for business, as well as food security. Just from the perspective of a medium sized business, Baker Creek and its partners in the seed industry have lost literally hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of GMO corn contamination.

By noreply@blogger.com (Activist) By The Edgy Truth With so many diets taunting our Facebook feeds, it can be incredibly difficult to ingest it all (pun intended). The fact is, most diets fall somewhere between two extremes: Vegan or Paleo. With one focused on low glycemic vegetable, fruit and starch loads and the other focused on heavy protein and sometimes even heavier fat intake. The line between Vegan and Paleo can of course sometimes be contentious as ethical and even environmental debates spawn. However, those aside and simply focused on health, Dr. Mark Hyman, one of the more respected nutrition Docs [More]

By Brock Schilling Your body speaks to you every day, whether you realize it or not. Paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you is ESSENTIAL to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Not all the signs your body is sending to you are as evident as others, unless you know what to look for. For instance, the color of your urine is a great indicator of what is going on inside your body. Urine is the byproduct of your body’s filtration system – so naturally it is the easiest indicator of how well your body is functioning. The [More]

By Brock Schilling If you’re a health conscious shopper, you probably tend to buy more fruits and vegetables than processed foods, but did you know that if you’re not buying organic – you could be doing more harm than good? Not all fruits and vegetables react the same to the pesticides and herbicides that are commonly used in factory farming. A recent report found that more than 3,000 produce samples analyzed by the USDA tested positive for pesticide residue, which is what prompted the Environmental Working Group to create their “Dirty Dozen” list of the fruits and vegetables to avoid.

By Dixie Somers Whitening procedures can be very expensive, and many store-bought whitening products today contain dangerous chemicals. Other products that you find in retail stores across the country often don’t work, or may take months before you notice any changes in coloration.

The following items can be found around your house, and are safe to use on stained or yellowing teeth: Strawberries and Salt This special whitening mixture works exceptionally well because strawberries contain a large amount of vitamin C and malic acid, which both [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola One out of every three US adults has high blood pressure (hypertension).1 If you’re among them, one of the first recommendations your physician probably gave you was to cut back on salt. Yet, there’s far more to maintaining a healthy blood pressure than eating a low-salt diet – a strategy that works for some people and fails for others. In fact, fewer than half of Americans with high blood pressure have their condition under control,2 and perhaps this is because conventional physicians have been focused on the “wrong white crystals,” …read more Read more [More]

By Phyllis Chlorophyll is one of my favorite nutrients. It has SO MANY health benefits it makes it a true wonder-food. However, the most marvelous and amazing benefit it gives comes from the fact that its molecular structure is almost identical to hemoglobin except for the center atom. In hemoglobin this is iron, whereas in chlorophyll it is magnesium. This means that when ingested, liquid chlorophyll can actually help to do the job of hemoglobin (hemoglobin is so vital to the health of our blood – in fact, blood is approx 75% hemoglobin). It helps to rebuild and replenish our [More]

By Robert Harrington Are root canals safe? Dr. George Meinig, author of Root Canal Cover-Up, was a founding member of the American Association of Endodontics. He quit the association later in his career after he saw firsthand the adverse affects that root canals have on the immune system. Dr. Meinig also witnessed the irreparable damage to the jaw bone caused by the infected cavitation sites where root canaled teeth once sat. What exactly is a root canal? The standard root canal procedure effectively kills the tooth by removing all the dental pulp. The dental pulp contains the blood supply, nerves, [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola As stated in their mission statement, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by assuring the safety and efficacy of drugs, biological products, medical devices, food, and more.1 It’s a tall order, no doubt, but the FDA makes many glaring omissions or, some might say, blatant oversights that put the public’s health at risk. Yet, the public is quite understanding and tolerant of the FDA’s mistakes and industry-friendly positions. For instance, even as they continue to ignore the risks of antibiotics in animal feed, deceive you about …read [More]

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Earlier this month, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced a $3.2-million campaign to save “beleaguered” Monarch butterflies.1 As recently as 1996, there were close to 1 billion monarchs across the US. Today, their numbers have dwindled by 90 percent. The crux of their campaign is restoring and enhancing monarch habitat, as habitat loss due to agricultural practices has played a role in their demise. More than 200,000 acres of habitat is slated to be restored for monarchs while the program is …read more Read more here: mercola

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Unless you live in some remote wilderness, you’re likely being exposed to a wide variety of chemicals on a daily basis that can compromise your health. One class of chemicals that have become ubiquitous in the US is flame retardants. In the 1970s, the US implemented fire safety standards that led to more and more products adopting the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) to meet the stringent regulations. PBDEs have a molecular structure similar to that of banned PCBs, the latter of which have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and impaired fetal [More]
