This Year's Farm Bill is "OUR FOOD BILL" and our Health for the next 5 years

I am very very concerned about the erosion of the quality of our food resources in the United States...As should you be for you and your family.
I just finished a program on Nutrition thru Columbia University, taught by the greatest nutritional minds in the world and they didn't agree on much except the following.... our food supply is dangerously nutritionally depleted, polluted and imported with a huge carbon cost (particularly the organic produce). All of which make our population chronically ill and environment toxic at tremendous cost financially and productivity wise, impacting us all...

These world class experts including Andrew Weil, Barry Sears, Dr. Mercola, Deepak Chopra and others, were all recommending the following:

1- eat locally grown produce or grow your own ( which many of them were doing).
2-eat organic if possible without the high carbon cost of shipping, (eat seasonally and with renewable farming practices)
3-Everyone must start and maintain a regular program of full body detoxification
4-Everyone must take high quality nutritional supplements (incl. High quality Omega 3's from fish, vitamins in an easily absorbed bio-available form, (preferably a gel capsule not a pressed pill), minerals and an antioxidant.) All of these must be taken together as a regular regimen...)
5-eat less animal protein overall (the resources spent in raising animals  are huge not to mention the pollution, the miss- treatment and inhumane conditions and the antibiotics, and steroids)
6-We need programs to subsidize safe sustainable farming practices...People in the know will support them
7-Our current Agricultural practices are killing off the bee populations. (Interestingly, the bees on or near organic farms are still fine)...Our current Government sponsored, big business Farming practices are causing a backlash effect.

We need more support from the consumers not more regulations from the Government.... Who wants to eat cloned protein or modified anything?  Don't you want to eat healthy nutritious food, that the cells of your body can actually use to create new cells?...

What you may not know, is that most of our modern diseases are as a result of poor nutrition and toxicity....Now is the time to DO something about this...This year while the Farm Bill is in play. This bill which will set our food policies for the next 5 years.... Talk to people let them know their purchasing habits will drive the market away from these destructive Farming practices...support the local farmers, eat by season and be aware of the quality of what you eat...As the Old saying goes YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!!! So are you a donut or hot dog from the cart on the street or are you a ripe peach from New Jersey with some New York State Yogurt with it or a Jersey tomato and sprout sandwich on organic artisan whole grain oat  bread??? Eat seasonally and locally....and organic if you can get it within a reasonable distance. New Yorkers have a tremendous resource in the Green Market  at Union Square, make the effort and take advantage of all the regionally grown and produced food stuffs that they carry  there. Ask for these quality things at your favorite restaurants and grocery stores...put the pressure on....bring it up a notch....Demand clean water and not another new soda flavor...Demand fresh nutritious produce not irradiated empty produce covered in pesticides...Demand that the air quality become a bigger issue. Consider the carbon cost of the life you lead...Gas, oil....All of it comes into play...How do you live your life...Do You live a Virtuous Life????

Did  you know that if all the bees disappear from the US, five years is exactly the time frame the experts predict we will have before roughly half of our population starves to death? That is if we don't take positive action now....we can change the market demands and the flow of money by where we spend our money...That is where the real power is...buy from a place of knowledge and spend with two purposes first to feed your body with quality nutrition and second to save your world.

We don't have anymore time to fool around with this...money and business will only carry us so far and it isn't far anymore...The real basis of life is water, air and food....We are at the wall NOW!!!! This is  one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in history...This is bigger than global warming, medicare/medicaid or all the terrorists on the planet and it has snuck up on us....the world's breadbasket is soon to be empty....

It can be reversed but we are going to have to make our demands known....We want good quality food, clean water and clean air...This is a huge priority over anything else because without them we will not survive...People and jobs and economics will and always do take care of themselves, but we can't do anything if there is no food and the air isn't breathable and the water is so full of chemical toxins that you can't drink it...

Be positive that you can make a difference and be positive that this seemingly inevitable course can be turned around...Americans have done amazing things throughout history and we will again!!! 

Today could be the first day of the new Virtuous and Consciously Aware and Discerning You!!!! That version of you that is totally tuned in for every minute of your gloriously abundant life....the version that sees the BIG picture and rises to the challenge...who believes that we all really are One...BE that YOU!!!!

Lots of Love and Qi,

Glenys

Eat Chocolate and Save the Planet!!!!

Hey Everbody!!!!
 
Well, we always knew that Chocolate was the panacea for what ails us and now it has come to light that it is also a way to help protect our environment. Fortunately, the plants that Cacao beans grow on are not able to survive outside of a virgin rain forest....So the more Chocolate we eat, the more the rain forest will be protected by the chocolate producers...I love that we can assure the survival of the rain forest by indulging one of the most guilty but healthful pleasures. That's right I said healthy...
 
It so happens that Cacao Beans in their raw state are considered one of the World's most nutrient rich "Super Foods". I always knew Chocolate was good for me!!!! There is a link under "products" that puts you on the site of a company who sells the raw cacao beans and the raw organic powder both of which are loaded with nutrients.... So indulge yourselves and help save our environment at the same time....
 
EAT, GIVE and BUY CHOCOLATE AND SAVE THE PLANET!!!
 
Yummy,
Glenys

Cleanse and Live!!!!

OK no fooling around I have gotten some information about the toxin levels we are really exposed to and I now know and fully appreciate that this is the biggest threat to our health of anything we face in our lifetimes....I was absolutely appalled to hear the statistics and the dangers....

It is imperative that we do whole body cleansing on a regular basis weekly or biweekly to maintain health and prevent diseases like cancer and heart disease....Fat is a symptom of toxicity it is how our bodies try to stave off the inevitable destruction of the immune system....Toxins are all around us in the air, food, water, soap, skin care,  almost all vegetables now have trace s of arsenic evidently from acid rain....Like global warming this is a more threatening situation than we are led to believe.....We are not invincible....but we are resilient so be creative and discerning...Choose your life over easy , quick, or convenient.  Exercise your right to choose quality of life....over chronic illness....

I had occasion lately to be in a hospital with my Mom and I can tell you the best medical coverage in the world does not buy you quality care from an overworked staff....the best thing is to stay out of those places.... 

But unlike Global Warming which will take years,  but is no less important, you can make a difference today!!!!!

1. EAT ORGANIC!!!!! Clean whole foods nothing in a box or can...eat raw fruits and veggies and clean lean meats and fish

2. Stop using chemicals in your house

3. Use natural soaps and fabrics

4. READ Labels 

5. Do a Whole Body Cleanse....I like Isagenix alot. It is the cleanest of anything I've seen so far and it really works...for more information go to  www.glenyswellness.Isagenix.com and www.gocleanse.com/glenyswellness for even more information. Be proactive!!!! Pills and surgery are not the answer you have the answer right now... Help your body help you....Get those toxins out of your body.... make it a priority before treating disease becomes the priority....

I will try to put together a cleansing seminar right after the first of the year to answer questions and talk about the cleansing process. I will post it when I figure out the schedule.

Healing Power of Black Chicken

The Scotsman Wed 13 Sep 2006
Black chicken. The black-bone silky fowl is high...

Black chicken. The black-bone silky fowl is high in anti-oxidants and is a traditional ingredient in Chinese medicine.

 

Chinese black chicken is the new white meat that guarantees a 'healthier life'

IAN JOHNSTON SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT

BLACK chicken was unveiled as a new form of "super-food" yesterday, after researchers found that the traditional ingredient in Chinese medicine has high levels of a natural anti-oxidant.

Black-bone silky fowl, which have black skin, meat and bones but snow-white feathers, have been used as a "folk invigorant" in China for 1,000 years. Now Chinese food scientists have confirmed they contain high levels of a substance called carnosine. This is a powerful anti-oxidant and is taken in supplement form in the West to improve muscle strength and alleviate the effects of ageing, autism and diabetes.

Chicken is known as a source of carnosine, but it was found that black-bone silky fowl had twice as much of the substance as ordinary breeds.

Dr Ying-gang Tian, of the food chemistry department at NanChang University, said: "The taste of black-bone silky fowl is usually better than other kinds of chicken, but its unusual colour makes some people hesitate to eat it."

• NEW evidence of the benefits of green tea was revealed yesterday in a study showing that those who regularly drink the brew can reduce the risk of heart disease by 26 per cent.
