Do you want to know the safe alternative to warding off disease that does not include taking a poisonous vaccine? That alternative is a healthy immune system. By eating factory processed foods that contain preservatives, GMOs and all sorts of artificial ingredients, we are weakening our immune systems and leaving ourselves open to all sorts of illnesses.
In this fast-food day and age we have traded health for convenience. We go to the nearest store and get the latest quick fix food invention loaded with poison, pop it in the microwave, then go to the nearest clinic for vaccinations to ward off the impending diseases that we might get because we are systematically destroying our natural defenses.
Eating healthy and building up a strong immune system is essential for survival, and it is time we woke up to that fact. There is no magic vaccine bullet that will cure a lifetime of neglecting one’s immune system. The answer lies in healthy foods chock full of natural vitamins and minerals.
Sprouting is one of the ways to give our bodies a shot in the arm of high-density nutrition. Here is a rare video of Dr. Ann Wigmore, formerly of the Creative Health Institute (chiDiet) on sprouting.
Have you ever been hungry? Not just “skipped a meal” hungry, but really hungry. I am talking about the kind of hunger that won’t go away because the cupboard is bare. If you have, you will understand the need to store food. If you haven’t, this is your chance to learn from the experience of others before it happens to you, because if you run into hard times, or the store shelves run dry, you will need to have a backup supply of tasty, nutritious food.

A new food safety bill is on the fast track in Congress-HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. The bill needs to be stopped.
HR 2749 gives FDA tremendous power while significantly diminishing existing judicial restraints on actions taken by the agency. The bill would impose a one-size-fits-all regulatory scheme on small farms and local artisanal producers; and it would disproportionately impact their operations for the worse.READ MORE…
The lowly earthworm, slaughtered by the trillions or zillions by chemical, corporate, money lover agriculture, is worth many times the pennies it costs to buy your starter stock, if they are not readily available for free. The profitable organic food producer raises them in controlled conditions to increase their rates of reproduction, foil predators and to prevent their escape. Worms are the cheapest labor you can get for your food crops. They work night and day tilling soil for food, which you provide them. They like decaying plant material to eat and they especially like to eat compost. The castings, or worm manure is superior to fresh compost as plant food. As your worm farm – ranch grows in size, you have more and more to add to new garden beds and tree holes. Plant quality and crop volumes sky rocket, requiring mechanical supports. (more…)
This GM contamination register is the first of its kind in the world.
Genetically modified crops were first commercially grown on a wide scale in 1996. But, there has always been concern about their effects on both health and the environment. A specific concern has been that once released, it would not be possible to contain or control these organisms yet there is no global monitoring system.
Because of this failure of national and international agencies, GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace International launched this joint initiative in 2005 to record all incidents of contamination arising from the intentional or accidental release of genetically modified (GM) organisms (which are also known as genetically engineered (GE) organisms).
It also includes illegal plantings of GM crops and the negative agricultural side-effects that have been reported. Only those incidents which have been publically documented are recorded here. There may be others that are, as yet, undetected.
This site is intended to be a resource for individuals, public interest groups and governments. The register can be searched to see where, when and how contamination has taken place. It includes information about, and links to, sources and the GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace web sites as well as other useful sites.

The Podchef shows how to bake bread, cookies, and other goodies in an outside, wood oven.
The oven? Here is how he built it.
Instructions on constructing the same wood oven that the Podchef has from a company with the following philosophy:
These ovens constitute a radical departure in building technique and use that has made it possible for the first time for small rural based home and village bakeries to be viable and competitive with the industry at any level.
With the ongoing loss of middle class occupations throughout western societies, many with even moderate skills and capital can create an invaluable small business in their communities that will find ready support from them in return.
Many are finding for the first time the joy of meanigful work in the bosum of their communities and free from the distant hidden grip of the corporate world at last. http://www.ovencrafters.net/
Here is a link to a ton of information and plans for making all sorts of wood-fired ovens:
Becoming self-sufficient is not only the prudent thing to do, but it is also a rewarding journey full of adventure and hope, that lasts a lifetime and provides a sense of accomplishment that nothing else quite compares to. Being able to go out your back door and pick fresh tomatoes that you have grown yourself instead of going to the nearest grocery store for veggies that have traveled for miles across country is a source of pride for us country folk.
So, let’s talk about this exciting adventure, but before we do, I would like you to think about this: (more…)
Tri-national Statement Responds to Industry Pledge to Commercialise GE Wheat
Montréal, Ottawa, Washington, Canberra – Tuesday, June 2, 2009.
Farmers, consumers and civil society organisations in Australia, Canada and the U.S. have released a joint statement confirming their collective commitment to stop the commercialisation of genetically engineered (GE) wheat (1). In 2 004, global pressure prevented biotechnology company Monsanto from pushing GE wheat onto an unwilling market. (more…)
