This morning, the blizzard hit. The weather turned to real winter with blowing snow, high winds and a decent accumulation. It was a done deal that I would be staying in today.

What sounded like a lawn mower went off near my window around 4:30AM.  I wondered what was going on. So I got up, peeked out the window and caught look at the pile of snow in front of my patio.

Snow blowers at 4:30 AM on a Sunday! What will they think of next?

No matter how invigorating cold weather is, there are several potentially serious health hazards you need to be aware of. The four most important being hypothermia, frostbite, dehydration and heart attacks. Here are three tips to help keep them away…

Can Organic Farming Really Replace Agribusiness?

For decades, we’ve been fed the propaganda that conventional farming sedona10a practices are necessary if we are going to feed our populations.

But is that necessarily true?

Environmental journalist, Stephen Leahy, has explored this at length, talked with experts and states that this is all BUNK!

The Popcorn That Kills

Are you smelling that bag of freshly nuked microwave popcorn? You should think again…for you health’s sake.

A very serious lung disorder has now been linked with doing something as innocent as smelling the aroma of freshly microwaved popcorn.

Apparently the corn producers like ConAgra have been aware

Farma: The Scary Future Of Food

The most recent future of food conference has recently concluded. The prediction – the future of bioengineering foodstuff is rosy. Bill Gates’ foundation has taken on a noble effort and funded billions of dollars into feeding the worlds’ less fortunate. They, like you, are being fed food that is genetically altered, that is engineered. But what could be the result of such a practise?

In the short run, bellies are full. In the long run, ecosystems are disrupted and destroyed. This would spell disaster for your health and life as we know it. Already shockwaves can be felt in the ecosystem. Bees are dying, crops are more easily disrupted and destroyed by disease and extremes of weather. Disease and degenerative disorders are at epidemic proportions in America and it’s just getting worse.

Here’s a great little video which will bring you up to speed on how this came about – and what is the future of food.

Food Additives and Health: The Case Against MSG

Bysunshine

While I was in medical school, I did research under a March of Dimes grant on MSG (monosodium glutamate), a common food additive. Back then, then damage we saw in rats was reversable IF you stopped giving it to them.

However the case against its use in man is mounting, including one that strongly suggest it has negative metabolic effects and leads to thyroid dysfunction and obesity.

“You are what you eat!”

As the health of Americans continue to decline, more and more information is being uncovered about how tainted our food supply is. It’s no wonder that disease and degeneration is RAMPANT in America. This has just got to stop!

I’ve always wondered what happened to all the road kill that’s out there. And now I know.

It isn’t a pretty picture.

We’ve all read about cattle being fed animal products; it was front page news. This led to the scourge of Mad Cow disease. However the rabbit hole goes deeper than that.

Is Bottle Water BAD For You?

There has been a quiet storm rising.

Bottle water – it ain’t as good as it is crack up to be.
Billions of bottle are sold each year in the US alone. It is really BIG business now.

So isn’t bottle water SUPPOSED to be better? Not necessarily. In Houston, well, almost anything’s better than tap water. But that isn’t true across the country.

Inside these bottles has been found bacteria, chemicals and acidity. Plus the ecological burden of billions of plastic bottle pilling up in landfills have already caused one backlash. The mayor of San Francisco was so fed up with the problem that he BANNED the sale of bottled water in municiple buildings.

He is also aware that the landfills cannot dispose of them. They take over 1000 years to biodegrade and leach toxic chemicals into the ground water LONG before they degrade.

What Is Wellness?

There is a major movement in America towards the concept of ‘wellness’. Other countries have accepted this as their baseline doctrine for thousands of years. Now we in the U.S. are moving towards a better understanding of it…and how to integrate it into our lives. But the question remains: “What is wellness”?
