by Drina Brooke, certified community herbalist

Hello everybody

In an economy when we all are concerned about planetary and self-sustainability, it is helpful to know where one can read natural healing information from highly trustworthy sources, where one can look certain things up, learn about the best self-help books to read and own, etc. Here I am putting together a list of books, links and  resources for naturopathic healing in many different areas of practice, including herbs, acupuncture, nutrition, chiropractic, drug-herb interactions, and more.

 

The Patriot Act Is Up For Revote In Congress: An Overview of the Act’s Details and Social Impact, and What We Can Do

Just weeks after the September 11^th, 2001 attacks, Bush confronted Congress with the thick Patriot Act bill, saying that anybody in Congress who did not vote for it blind, would be publicly dubbed as “soft on terror”. The traumatized and strong-armed Congress passed it without debate in a matter of days. Senator Russ Feingold stood as the lone Senator to “Just Say No”, while 2/3 of the House passed it, with only 1/3 voting “No”. On the second time around, very few additional Congresspersons had the courage to join the “no” ranks, though a few of them did.

According to an email from the ACLU dated on February 4th, 2010, the Patriot Act is now up for renewal in Congress as certain provisions are set to expire this February. And as is typical, Congress is once again being fear-mongered into voting for it, along with what the ACLU says is even more freedom-curtailing provisions than before.

by Kathryn Smith, January 30, 2010

Dear readers and friends:

It is time for a communal think tank. Because we are in a political mire, as we all know. Many of us moan the state of our constitution (being burned to ashes), our economy, the wars of aggression without end, our civil liberties, the centralized and censored media, you name it. How can this be changed? Your thoughts are valuable!

Monsanto Golden Boy to Head the F.D.A.!

By Barbara H. Peterson

Farm Wars

I know that you know how shocked I am about this. Michael Taylor, Monsanto’s golden boy, head of the FDA? If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. After all, if Al Gore can get a Nobel Peace Prize for one of the greatest scams in history, then Michael Taylor should indeed become in charge of our nation’s food regulatory agency.

[article excerpt]:

Meanwhile, according to the complaints by presidents of multiple countries, landing military planes from the United States obviously took priority over foreign planes carrying food, water and medical supplies. Why?

Why did it take days to start air-dropping water and food? Why were the airport lights allowed to be off for four full days? Why weren’t generators flown in if necessary? And let’s call a spade a spade, here is the greatest brainwash of all: Why complain of the damaged roads and disabled airport when helicopters are capable of air-dropping food, water, medicines and fuel, and we have had that capability all along?
