This is a site to ask questions on NATURAL HEALTH CARE and well-being from a physical, spiritual and mental stand point.

myself for -<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">physical well-being</i>- between
a six and a nine. I would say that this area is a clear 7.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does not too of seemed to get better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I want to add that this is my person criticism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That those that know me think I am doing
really well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I look like I am in my
early thirties (20 year difference) and my energy is really good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That I have a great youthful sense of humor
and am for the most part fun to be around once you get to know me. I have
started Tai Chi in the last three weeks and have continued it almost every
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every day I stretch a lot and every
day I stretch my mind to keep clear to new ideas and concepts that I will now
allow to wander in, controlled by me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spiritual well-being</i>- Here is an area i
am still proud of and would still give myself a strong ten. Actually I could go
to eleven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am very comfortable in my
spiritual side. As I continue to eat in a yakuzen type manor (for my health
only) I feel my intuitions and spirit open. I have become more sensitive and
aware of things around me. I have taken a few day trips to very magical areas
and just feel the nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This all helps
my spiritual side open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I leave those
places feeling refreshed and ready for much more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Last but not
least my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">psychological well-being</i>-
Here is where I placed myself between a seven and a ten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The low side was based of the amount of disappointment
and sadness I hold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well since then I have
changed a few things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being in this
class for one helped direct me to just simply be calmer and—I chose to let the
love of my life, my breath, my unicorn go and be free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put myself on Mood support herbal formulas
and changed my diet to easy digesting foods. I allow many tears to come to
release the toxins but the tears are a different type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A letting go type.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a frustrating and angered type. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tears that come now are tears of saying to
myself it is all ok and it is going to be ok.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I feel very alone and have a very strong sense ogf not knowing even more
but all of that is actually good for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Might be hard to understand but it is me that needs to understand and no
one else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is me that needs to survive
and thrive and rebuild.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave eleven
years of my everything and the acceptance of knowing that I cannot change
things I care about to be a better them is just my problem and it is ok. That
even areas that I wanted to change in me that it just was not me and that they
could not except that is yet another valuable lesson learned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That I am who I am and I need to embrace all
the great attributes that I have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
will both be lonely without each other I believe this but it is what it is. Maybe
someday things will go back and go back differently but I am not going to hold
my breath because he was actually my breath.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wow--- that makes me cry, but all is good. It needs to be (for my health).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I give myself a much higher grade in this
department for making and taking that great step.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">This class has
been one of the better life tools that I have received since I learned of
organics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will continue to apply the
relaxation techniques and as well re read my books until fully educated by
memorizing as much as I can. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">

for everything, I still leave open a full healing treatment with all I know to
you, if you are ever in my area at no charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

put my name on it (diana) with a happy face.</span></div>dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-25963960351877743372012-05-29T12:19:00.000-07:002012-05-29T12:19:01.683-07:00Unit 9 -My plan that applies concepts I have learned regarding holistic/integral health to help foster growth and health spiritually, physically, and psychologically in my personal life.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

the whole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the whole body that is
the goal to balance. That each one of the words listed above (we will title
PSP) is a level of the body. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If anyone

arms is weak or damaged in some way that the other can pick up the slack a
bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>PSP are all each their own and need
their own strength and growth. When each one of the areas is developed well your
own health will be the mirror of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
will then reflect health and wisdom. Your emotions will be calm and reserved.
Your actions will be thought out and carefully placed and above all you will
have a greater sense of knowing.</span></div>

it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I am getting it wrong (whatever

Dacher's book Integral Health, The Path to Human Flourishing p 93. This particular meditation is to me extremely unselfish in nature. It leads you to send freedom, health, happiness and wholeness to those you love and to all people. It brings you to a place to be given the opportunity to assist as well in this process with someone. May it be a stranger or someone you know.<br />
<br />
This entire week while daily (often multiple times a day) saying these words in my head and sometimes out loud i have encounter magical things where i have been asked to help assist situations from money to health to advice. This in turn as giving me a feeling of calm and needed. Needed, not like i am looking to help and i my self needing that but a much more balanced way of feeling like you helped someone this seek be a better them. It has brought rewards to my own calm that has added in my sleep, digestion and mental well being. <br />
<br />
In the <i>Assessment Process Exercise</i> found as well, in Elliott S. Dacher, p 115 when you become still and ask yourself "What aspect of my life- psychospiritual, biological, interpersonal or worldly, do i need to work on for myself, clearly what jumped out was my interpersonal and psychospiritual aspects. My interpersonal- is a relationship i let go to fly free on it's own and it has left me in many ways with clipped wings. I can fly just not very far at all before i come down real fast. I did not realize how much the relation i had encompassed absolutely ever aspect of me. Even to eating something new because it would be them, that would feed me new things. I can tell it is going to be a long journey that most likely i will never fully get over, i just need to be able to thrive not just survive (live without them).<br />
<br />
As to the psychospiritual that one just jumps out purely due to the passions of my heart and the amount of care i hold inside to offer to those on the outside. <br />
Both of these practices have influenced me to want to smile, laugh and yet go deep with-in to see truth, whatever it may be. <br />
To implement these exercise more i need to visit places that my eyes can see beauty in it's nature form such as places like, Parfrey's Glen that is just only an hour away from me. Places of deep truth and sincerity. When in these places to meditate on the aspects that make me me. <br />

<br />
2) Discuss the connection of the spiritual wellness to
mental and physical wellness. Explain how the connection is manifested
in your personal life.<br />
<br />
The connection that i had with spiritual wellness and its connection with mental and physical wellness a very close. i think that i have been combining them all together from the start. My spiritual wellness in the connection that i have with nature. Then energy of nature and how that protects me and carries me through difficult times. I actually think that they all have a very unique quality and i look at each of the three differently.<br />
When you delve into the deeper lever of your spiritual mind, your mind could not feel comfortable there due emotions we have stuffed down. Now putting mental and physical wellness together you can have yourself working out longer, faster and harder which in the long run if that is what you need to prepare for an event that is great. The three are different levels, the spiritual is the deepest and the physical is the most physical, closest to the skin so to say and the one in the middle would be the mental.<br />
<br />
All of these are going to have such a profound influence i am excited to keep you updated on the effect in days and weeks to come.dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-25608150937761452622012-04-24T13:14:00.002-07:002012-04-24T13:14:23.720-07:00HW420 Unit 5 - Loving Kindness (part 0ne)<br />
<ol>
<li class="body">Compare and contrast the Loving Kindness exercise and
the Subtle Mind exercise. Explain your experience including the
benefits, frustrations etc.</li>
</ol>
These two exercises are so very powerful to any and everyone who applies them. It has been a week in using them both and i can say they that they are not easy for me. "Loving Kindness" put me to sleep in the beginning just after i would give my love and kindness to someone who is suffering. The first time i took the love and kindness from my own heart, that i gathered from a man that has a unique high level of love, and gave that love to my daughter who was not feeling well, i believe in those moments are when she got up and out of bed and felt better. I cannot testify to who i gave my love and kindness to with other but it is a feel good practice. To me it makes me feel as if i have just hand made and delivered a gift that i know they always wanted and needed. The "Subtle Mind" exercise is a real Challenge. I have been working on this one all week and just cannot yet completely get my mind in complete control. It wonders so much. I have so much in my mind that i am always thinking about. One thing that is very good though however, i can keep grabbing my mind and bringing it back. Also this one for a strange reason i never fall asleep to. I want to master this one. <br />
Through the week my ability to not talk so much has risen greatly as well for a cool reason my humor. I have made people laugh all week with things i would say. dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-88020247569049253362012-04-17T18:24:00.000-07:002012-04-17T18:26:37.846-07:00Kaplan-HW420 -Unit 4 "Phychospiritual Flourishing"This week i was to read chapter 6 in Dasher's book "Integral Health" and focus on the first practice (Loving Kindness).<br />
<br />
Where i work i have had a bit of a challenge with an old friend. I am not sure what i did wrong but one day i was attacked verbally and then again and again and again. It is always over something petty but i remain quit and do not speak back and let them just say whatever they need. I have the support of everyone including my manger in knowing this other person goes off often. For it to happen to me was odd because we have been friends for so long. <br />
The other day i spoke with intense, sincere kindness. They took it as if i was talking to them like they were a child. So it did not go well. I used what i learned from the #1 practice and being this time i had witnesses, they did not look good. The behavior that everyone witness that happened to me was a surprise. They saw a side of this other person that they had not seen before. As well i gained respect for my technique, calmness and wise words. The facts remain this person does not like me and i do not know why. It is like they resent me. Funny note, i look very very similar to his girl friend that he had a couple years ago and might still have. <br />
<br />
The practice of loving kindness i think is something everyone should experience. They need to make their own decision how they feel about applying it. Love to me means: Increase ones potential. So loving kindness in this form of this practice might not always be the correct answer. I think to go into meditation and bring the pain of another into your heart and dissolve it with a return out-breath of pain free or kindness and love, sounds perfect but some should need to just figure things out on their own and be alone while doing so. <br />
<br />
In learning the understanding of "Mental Workout" is brings us to the practice that was done above. When we add information to out mind for our health and happiness or soundness we are working out or mind. We use such a small portion of out minds it really is time to stretch that area that sites on top of our shoulders and use it for something beside a hat rack , as my mother would say.dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-44881759948854204952012-04-08T05:25:00.004-07:002012-04-10T04:33:14.941-07:00Kaplan University-HW420 -Unit 3<ol style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><li class="body">Based on your reflections, and on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being optimal well-being), where do you rate your A-physical well-being, B-spiritual well-being, C-psychological well-being? Why? </li></ol><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">A-physical well-being</span>- My physical well being is on a sliding scale. I would say between a <span style="font-weight: bold;">six and a nine</span>. There are times truly that after giving a day of healing treatments and i drive home, that getting out of my car takes a second. From my low back to to my shoulders. I know if pushed i would snap right into shape but my push is lite. I know all the things to do naturally to get into shape it is just i place myself often in the "shoeless shoes maker" position. </p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">B-spiritual well-being-</span> Here is an area i am proud of. I would give myself a <span style="font-weight: bold;">strong ten</span>. I have been through many facets of organized religion in my years from Lutheran to Catholic to Jehovah to Pentecostal. I have taught Lutheran Sunday school and have read the entire bible as well, took two complete courses of the Pentecostal version, "End Times". I am know seeing nature as my leader, teacher and overall higher power. i believe in spirits, angles as well as the boogie monster. I believe in life in outer-space and that we started by walking upright. I believe that i hold the power to heal with the intent of my minds thoughts. I believe that we hold the power of a higher level within us. </p><p style="font-weight: bold;">C-psychological well-being- <span style="font-weight: normal;">Here is that sliding scale again</span>. <span style="font-weight: normal;">It would be between a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> seven and a ten</span>. Here the only place i waver is in disappointment. I house an enormous amount of sadness. As crazy as this may sound i thought that my life would be very different. I never thought that i would be alone so much. That i would be used so much. That i would be lied to and deceived so much. <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>I never thought that my dad would not live to one hundred and that my children would not do things behind me that i could not see that could of caused them great harm. I never thought that i could not change someones mind in thinking when i present a valid reason. A reason for health and healthfulness.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;"> So it has been a journey of learning and understand just where my place is on this planet and excepting that i had many things wrong. That makes me want to cry just admitting all this right here. So being sound in mind and body is always my every moment goal. To be mindful of each and every thing. To except what is real and allow real to be what it is. At that point i can walk away from it wiping my feet or stand there and face it. I have a choice. Always remembering that sadness is the sincerest of emotions and cause the least amount of harm to the body of all the emotions even happiness. Peace, sound and calm is what i seek. </span></p><p style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">2) </span>Develop a goal for yourself in each area (physical, spiritual, psychological).</p><p>My goals in these three areas are-</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Physical</span>-take more walks often, use my yoga ball and exercise tools more, apply my Tai Chi to every day when it restarts in May on the 15th.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spiritual</span>-A goal here for me would be to maintain the spiritual developments that i have developed and maintain this development through the rest of my life.<br /></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Psychological</span>-The mind is a beautiful thing and i think that people beat themselves up too much over hows theirs works. So, here it is important for me to realize that things happened for what ever reason they do and nothing should be taken personal. The times that something might feel personal are the times we are being tested. That in those times our mind (emotions) need to remain calm, cool and try to move on. Moving away emotionally, psychology, from a problem will allow you to get a better grasp on it. it would be those times that you need to take that walk as well.<br /></p><p><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) </span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">What activities or exercise can you implement in your life to assist in moving toward each goal?</span></p><p>Focus, focus, focus, focus, are the only words i hear to help me reach these goal that i had mentioned above. I must remove distractions as well and i must think of Diana, think of myself. If i would think of myself more (my needs) and stop offering my talents as much as i do, then my goals will come easier. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></p><ol style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><li class="body">Complete the relaxation exercise The Crime of the Century. <a></a> Describe your experience.

From wanting to sleep to the things i had planned for my day i had to keep refocusing. I would like to get to a point that this form of relation can come at any time of the day. I would also like to make the red, yellow and blues for me have my own personal meaning and not relate to experiences in my life. That as well, was distracting but not harmful, but just a little disturbing.

This exercise had you thinking of your body and finding a place within it that needs more blood and or nourishment. Being our body houses 80% of our blood in our abdomen (speaker states) that it is good to bring some of that blood forth to a location that could so to say, need a drink of compassion and a band-aid for the soul or pain reduction for a moment and a sense of calm. As i became my blood and moved through my body up to where i needed calm (neck and shoulders) i came to a point of hearing nothing but my heart beat and seeing nothing. Then my eyes opened quickly to realize i had fallen asleep. I felt a bit concerned as to how long i had gone to sleep and how much of my Journey did i miss. I backed up the exercise to find i ended right where you were to open your eyes and come back.

The topic is “Bringing a Peaceful Mind to our Children”.<br /><br />For the last four months or so I have been studying the Art of T‘ai Chi and its effects on children that practice it. My findings are outrageously beautiful. The sense of calm, the controlled behavior in school and at home and the focus in what is responsible and what is important to them as a human meaning, their ego increase in a healthy manor. This program has benefits on breathing, posture and blood pressure just to name a few (Tai Chi, nd). Well my idea is to try to get ALL the public schools on board with this topic. This program can be done first thing when children come to school or somewhere in the school hour’s day. What are your thoughts or ideas?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Lets learn Tai Chi, (nd). retrieved from website<br /><a href="http:// http://www.spb300.com/health_benefit_of_taichi.html"></a>dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-31961172923803801962010-07-10T21:13:00.002-07:002011-07-28T22:10:50.252-07:00Vegi Fest 2011<a href="http://www.veggiefestchicago.org/"></a>dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-59756707195169813952010-05-22T08:47:00.000-07:002010-05-22T08:54:32.648-07:00Warning: This Common Food Causes Devastating Offspring Defects in New Research StudyI strongly believe that one of the most obvious clues about the danger of GMO foods are that just about EVERY species of animal that is offered a GMO food versus a non-GMO food will avoid the GMO one. <br />Many times they will do this to the point of starvation, as they have an intuitive sense of the danger of this food. Please listen to the interview as Jeffery expands on this point in great detail. It’s one you can use to effectively share with your friends and family who are not yet convinced of the dangers of GMO foods. <br /><br />If you have more time with them you can bring up the sterility argument that is expanded upon with these new research findings. You might have read this before that genetically modified foods may cause sterility in future generations but now the latest research from Russia provides shocking confirmation of this potential. This study, which was conducted by the Russian equivalent of the US National Association for Gene Security, has not yet been published, but its findings were recently announced. It’s anticipated that the details will be published later this summer.<br /><br /> Russian Scientists Find Third Generation of Hamsters Sterilized by GM Soy The release of this new information provides yet another health risk, and confirmation on earlier problems related to fertility, birth weight of offspring, and infant mortality. In this feeding study they used hamsters, an animal which has not been previously featured in GM safety studies. One group of hamsters was fed a normal diet without any soy whatsoever, a second group was fed non-GMO soy, a third ate GM soy, and a fourth group ate an even higher amount of GM soy than the third. Using the same genetically modified (GM) soy that is produced on over 90 percent of the soy acreage in the US, the hamsters and their offspring were fed their respective diets over a period of two years, during which time the researchers evaluated three generations of hamsters. First they took five pairs of hamsters from each group, each of which produced about seven to eight litters each, totaling about 140 animals. At first all went well, but serious problems became apparent when they selected new pairs from the offspring. The first problem was that this second generation had a slower growth rate and reached their sexual maturity later than normal. However, this second generation eventually generated another 39 litters: •The no-soy control group had 52 pups •The non-GM soy had 78 •The GM soy had only 40, of which 25 percent died So these second-generation GM soy-fed hamsters had a five-fold higher infant mortality rate, compared to the 5 percent normal death rate that was happening in the controls. <br />Nearly All of the Third-Generation GMO Babies Were Sterile! But then an even bigger problem became apparent, because nearly all of the third generation hamsters lost the ability to have babies altogether. Only a single third-generation female hamster gave birth to 16 pups, and of those, one fifth died. In short, nearly the entire third generation of GM soy eaters were sterile! But it doesn’t end there. In the GM soy-fed groups they also found an unusually high prevalence of an otherwise extremely rare phenomenon – hair growing inside the animals’ mouths. (You can see the images here.) Says Smith: “… it’s a very rare phenomenon but he [study author, Dr. Surov] had never in his life seen more hair in mouths of hamsters than with these GM soy-fed, third generation hamsters.” As you may know, genetically modified crops weren’t released until 1996, starting with GM soy, corn and cotton. Modified canola came about a year later. Please remember humans have MUCH longer life spans than rats and that GMO foods were only introduced in 1996. <br />This is LESS than one generation. So we’re still nowhere near seeing the full effects of these potential ramifications in humans, as we’re only about 15 years into it. But if the effects are anything like the effects on numerous types of animals, we could be looking at sterility on a grand scale as our great-grandchildren grow up and begin to try to procreate... The fact that the US is completely unwilling to implement the precautionary principle with regards to GM foods is incomprehensible in light of the findings we already have from animal studies. Additionally, some 800 genetically engineered food applications have been submitted to the USDA, but not one single environmental impact statement has been prepared. So not only are human health ramifications ignored, but the entire eco system is being jeopardized. <br /><br />Rampant Conflicts of Interest Put You and Your Family at Great Risk Unfortunately, it’s clear that the US government is not in a position to make reasonable and responsible decisions related to GMOs at this point, when you consider the fact that the Obama administration has placed former Monsanto attorney and Vice President, Michael Taylor, in charge of US food safety, and serious conflicts of interest even reign supreme within the US Supreme Court! That’s right. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is also a former Monsanto attorney, but refuses to acknowledge any conflict of interest as he’s hearing Monsanto’s third appeal for deregulation of genetically modified alfalfa seeds. After corn, soy and wheat, alfalfa is the most widely grown crop in the US, so allowing GM alfalfa to be deregulated could spell disaster in several ways. It’s easily cross-pollinated by bees and wind, and it’s a perennial, meaning GM alfalfa could live on for years, spreading their genetically modified traits far and wide for a long period of time. It remains to be seen how Justice Thomas rules in this case… But in addition to conflicts of interest, we’re also dealing with government agencies that refuse to acknowledge the science produced by their own scientists. Closely tied to the production of GM crops is the use of the herbicide Roundup, which contains glyphosate. Monsanto’s Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and contrary to the popular belief propagated by industry, pesticide use has significantly increased – DOUBLED since 2005 -- rather than decreased with the use of GM crops. <br /><br />As it turns out, this is a serious problem for more reasons than one. Not only are GM food crops saturated with more pesticides than ever before, which naturally ends up in your body when you eat them, but glyphosate may also be killing the soil itself. This startling conclusion comes straight from one of the USDA’s own scientists, Dr. Kremer. However, his employer has opted to more or less ignore his findings, which, according to this article in Grist, include evidence that glyphosate causes: •damage to beneficial microbes in the soil increasing the likelihood of infection of a crop by soil pathogens •interference with nutrient uptake by the plant •reduced efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation •overall lower-than-expected plant productivity More Evidence of Reproductive Problems from Eating GM Foods But let’s get back to the infertility caused in animals. The evidence of third-generation sterility in hamsters is just one link in a chain of studies that show evidence of this tragic side effect. For example, back in 2005, Dr. Irina Ermakova, one of the senior scientists with the Russian National Academy of Sciences, reported that more than 50 percent of the babies from mother rats that were fed GM soy died within three weeks, compared to a 10 percent death rate among the controls. Again, that’s a death rate five times higher than normal – identical to the findings in the hamster study above. Similarly, the rats were also growing more slowly, just like the hamsters, and their offspring also had lower birth weights. And again, when the rats’ offspring tried to reproduce, they too were found to be mostly sterile, but it happened sooner, with infertility striking the second generation of rats, as opposed to the third generation of hamsters. Ermakova wanted to perform further studies to analyze the organs she’d collected from the study, but she never got the chance. Says Smith: “She told me as we were sitting at the EU Parliament after giving a presentation there, that her boss had been pressured by his boss. So, she was told to do no more GM food study on animals, her documents were burned on her desk, samples were stolen from her laboratory, and one of her colleagues tried to comfort her by saying, “Well maybe the GM soy will solve the overpopulation problem on earth.” She wasn’t impressed.” Neither am I. However, she inadvertently stumbled upon further proof that GM soy wreaks havoc with reproductive health. She discovered that the rat chow being fed to all rats in the facility had been switched, so that all of it contained GM soy… <br /><br />Two months later she asked her colleagues whether or not they’d discovered any surprising changes in the infant mortality of their various studies, and yes indeed, they had! Inexplicably, infant mortality in the animal studies performed at the National Academy of Scientific Laboratory in Moscow had skyrocketed to over 55 percent, sometimes higher. There’s more evidence of reproductive health being harmed in various ways. Smith explains: “[Ermakova] gave me a slide of a completely new study in which she fed male rats genetically modified soy, and it’s absolutely stunning. On the left side of the slide is a pink testicle. On the right side of the slide, is a blue testicle. She said that when the GM soy was fed to the male rats, it changed the color of their testicles from pink to blue, and you could see the cells on another slide, left to right, the structure of the cells in the testicle was different; a completely different blood flow. <br />And this reminded me of what they had studied in Italy, where they fed mice genetically modified soy and they also had changes in their testicles, including damage to the young sperm cells. Now, if you’re damaging the young sperm cells, it could result in one of two things. They can result in infertility, or problems with the offspring. Well, it appears that they may have had both. In fact, with the mice, they looked at the offspring and they took the embryos out of the pregnant mothers and looked at how the DNA was functioning. And they compared the DNA of those who were born to GM soy-fed parents versus those who were fed non-GM soy and the DNA functioned differently. So we’re seeing a fundamental change in the offspring of mice that were fed genetically modified soy, whose parents were also fed genetically modified soy.” Other feeding studies using GM corn have also produced similar results. For example, mice fed GM corn had increasingly fewer and smaller babies the longer they stayed on the GM diet. There are also plenty of reports about pigs, cows and other livestock having reproductive problems when fed genetically modified feed.<br /><br />It’s Time to Save Yourself and Your Famiy Because White Knights Don’t Exist in Government It’s important to realize that the key to ending the ongoing atrocity of GM foods lies not with government, but with you and me. Consumers are going to have to drive GM foods out, and we CAN do it. Through educating yourself, your family, friends and community about GMOs, and most importantly of all, through the food purchases you make, you can stop this unregulated science experiment. Once we reach the tipping point, which is probably as little as five percent of the US population, the market WILL respond. They can’t afford not to! Once enough people refuse to buy GM food products, it won’t be long before food manufacturers start switching their ingredients. How to Sniff Out GMOs and Vote with Your Pocketbook You CAN avoid GMOs, if you know what to look for. First of all, remember there are eight genetically modified food crops: 1.Soy 2.Corn 3.Cottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils) 4.Canola (canola oil) 5.Sugar from sugar beets 6.Hawaiian papaya 7.Some varieties of zucchini 8.Crookneck squash Based on this list, anything containing soy or soy derivatives should be avoided, as well as anything containing corn, the most obvious ingredient being high fructose corn syrup. The easiest way to avoid ending up with GM foods in your shopping cart is to do some pre-planning using the free non-GMO shopping guide, available at www.NonGMOshoppingGuide.com. TheInstitute for Responsible Technology has also created a free iPhone application that is available in the iTunes store. You can find it by searching for ShopNoGMO in the applications. The shopping guide lists the various derivatives of each crop to be avoided, and even better, it lists hundreds of brand products in 22 food categories that are non-GMO, so if you’re still buying processed foods, at least you can easily select a brand that does not use genetically modified ingredients. Tipping Point… If Europe Did it, the US Can Too! Getting into a shopping habit of continually avoiding GM food products will create pressure on the marketplace, without which there is little hope. So take this one step! Download the shopping guide, and make note of which brands to buy and which ones to avoid like the plague that they are. Europe managed to reach their tipping point in April of 1999, ELEVEN YEARS AGO(!), within a single week of negative media which swayed the shopping habits of consumers enough for food companies to commit to stop using GM ingredients. The idea that consumers have tremendous power is not wishful thinking. <br /><br />It’s an absolute fact. Monsanto could probably be effectively bankrupted by the end of this year, if enough consumers were to take individual, proactive steps to avoid purchasing anything even remotely related to their business. Another point that validates the effectiveness of this consumer-driven strategy is the progress we’re now seeing with high fructose corn syrup. Within the last few weeks, several major corporations have declared they’re taking HFCS out of their products due to consumer demand. More Educational Material You can find loads of additional information about GMOs on the site www.ResponsibleTechnology.org. There you can also order additional guides to hand out to friends, health care practitioners, and decision makers within your community, along with free online videos, pod casts, and articles that you can repost and republish. Last but not least, I want to put out a call for a very special donation. The iPhone application was created by someone who generously donated their time to make it, and if you or someone you know is a competent Android developer who is willing to assist in this cause, please contact info@ResponsibleTechnology.org. You can also make financial donations on their website to help accelerate the tipping point against GMOs.dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138484930256209683.post-26580577004848376862010-05-21T18:03:00.000-07:002011-07-29T16:08:00.230-07:00I'm a little Tea Pot<br /><br />"""" This is the time of wind blowing and pollens moving.

Among the most vulnerable are infants and fetuses, who are still developing.<br /><br />BPA is used to make hard plastic that’s used in numerous products including:<br /></p><ul><li>Polycarbonate plastic baby bottles </li><li>Large water-cooler containers and sports bottles </li><li>Microwave-oven dishes </li><li>Canned-food liners </li><li>Some dental sealants for children<br /></li></ul><p>The statement appeared alongside five accompanying scientific reviews and a new study by the National Institutes of Health that found newborn animals exposed to BPA suffered from uterine damage. The damage could indicate that the chemical causes reproductive disorders in women ranging from fibroids to endometriosis to cancer.<br /><br />While studies have yet to be conducted to directly examine BPA’s influence on humans, past animal studies have found low doses of the chemical to be associated with early-stage prostate and *** cancers and decreased sperm count.<br /><br />No governmental agency worldwide has restricted the use of BPA, but a U.S. expert panel is meeting to discuss whether the chemical should be declared a human reproductive toxin, which could lead to regulatory action.<br /><br />The chemical industry maintains that BPA is safe, and has called the scientists’ statement “alarmist and biased.”<strong><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/08906238"><strong></strong></a></strong></p><p><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TC0-4P9SNCV-1&_user=10&_coverDate=07%2F31%2F2007&_rdoc=1&_fmt=summary&_orig=browse&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=558cee0e9e981eb9d05eaeb8020a6326">Reproductive Toxicology July 2007</a><br /><strong><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/08906238"><strong></strong></a></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003819420_plastics03.html?syndication=rss">Seattle Times August 3, 2007</a></p><p><br /></p><br /> <span id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_bcr_bcr_bcr_lblDrComments">The use of BPA has clearly spiraled out of control, and now we are having to face the dire consequences. The scientists found that <span style="font-weight: bold;">95 percent</span> of the people tested had levels of BPA in their bodies that could be harmful.<br /><br />Perhaps the biggest victims in all of this are fetuses and infants, who may be exposed to the chemical in utero or quite literally “fed” the chemical via plastic baby bottles and toys (which they often put in their mouths).<br /><br />The problem with BPA is that it doesn’t stay in the plastic. It leeches into whatever food or beverage you put in a plastic container, <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/05/19/canned-foods.aspx">canned good</a>, or <a href="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Toxic-Baby-Bottles-Still-Being-Sold-22683.aspx">plastic baby bottle</a>. And if you microwave the containers or bottles, you are likely increasing the amount of BPA that leaches into your food.<br /><br />Another point worth noting is that BPA supposedly does not hang around in your body long after you’re exposed. Yet, this chemical is so pervasive that the scientists think people are simply being continually exposed to it from food, air, dust, and even just by touching items that contain BPA.<br /><br /><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/04/27/plastics.aspx">BPA mimics the sex hormone estradiol</a>, which can trigger major changes in your body. The problems associated with even small amounts of BPA include:<br /><ul><li>Structural damage to your brain </li><li>Hyperactivity </li><li>Abnormal sexual behavior </li><li>Increased fat formation and risk of obesity </li><li>Early puberty and disrupted reproductive cycles</li></ul>The potential risks of BPA have been being debated for years. Meanwhile, people just keep on ingesting this toxin -- at levels that are anyone’s guess.<br /><br />Several readers have commented that, even if BPA does eventually get restricted, there are countless other dangerous chemicals still out there. This is, sadly, very true. The EPA approves new chemicals to the tune of some 700 every year! Still, every step you take toward eliminating a toxin from the products you use is a good one.<br /><br />Of course, I personally would not wait for a government restriction to begin reducing my exposure to this toxin. The evidence that has amassed thus far is enough to convince me.<br /><br />To be fair, you probably can no longer completely eliminate your exposure to BPA (since it’s likely in our air, water, and food, too) but you can certainly reduce it. The following tips will not only reduce your exposure to BPA, but also to many of the other <a href="http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/The-Plastic-Poisons-That-Surround-You-17361.aspx">dangerous plastics chemicals</a> as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">10 Tips to Reduce Your Exposure to BPA</span><br /><br />1. Only use glass baby bottles and dishes for your baby<br /><br />2. Give your baby natural fabric toys instead of plastic ones<br /><br />3. Store your food and <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/04/07/nalgene-water.aspx">beverages</a> in <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/04/16/food-storage-part-one.aspx">glass -- NOT plastic -- containers</a><br /><br />4. IF you choose to <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/11/05/microwave-food.aspx">use a microwave</a>, don’t microwave food in a plastic container<br /><br />5. Stop buying and consuming canned foods and drinks<br /><br />6. Avoid using plastic wrap (and never microwave anything covered in it)<br /><br />7. Get rid of your plastic dishes and cups, and replace them with glass varieties<br /><br />8. If you opt to use plastic kitchenware, at least get rid of the older, scratched-up varieties, avoid putting them in the dishwasher, and don’t wash them with harsh detergents, as these things can cause more chemicals to leach into your food<br /><br />9. Avoid using bottled water; filter your own using a reverse osmosis filter instead<br /><br />10. Before allowing a dental sealant to be applied to you, or your children’s, teeth, ask your dentist to verify that it does not contain BPA<br /><br />In the event that you do opt to use plastic containers for your food, be sure to <span style="font-weight: bold;">avoid those marked on the bottom with the recycling label No. 7</span>, as these varieties may contain BPA.<br /><br />Containers marked with the recycling labels No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 do not contain BPA (however they may contain other unsavory chemicals that you’re best off avoiding by using glass instead).<br /></span><p><br /></p></div>dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12311048830052132695noreply@blogger.com2
