Mother has decided that not only should people have knowledge and understanding of Homeopathy and other Natural Remedies, everyone should also know about the food they eat.  What is IN the food, what WAS in the food that is not anymore, what was DONE to this food to produce it, and WHERE did this food come from, are all valid and important issues that it would be nice if you knew about the food you are preparing to eat, BEFORE you eat it.

Fresh Produce Grown In the Garden

What I mean to say here is that, you do know not to eat things that are poisonous.  So why not know all about the other things you consume as sustenance and consider good for you, because maybe they are not.

Over the years that other people have been producing our food for us, there have been many, probably too many, changes in the way food is prepared, grown, or produced.  That is not even to say anything about the shipping processes and the packaging products that companies use to get them to us.  You must admit, we do not know most of what goes on in those processes.

What do you really know about any of these subjects? And yet you still just go to the store and buy whatever says tomatoes or grapes, canned food, prepackaged food, or even ground beef and eggs, without asking.

However there are other people who are intent on knowing what is in the food they are paying for and read everything posted on the labels.  But do we really know if that says it all?

There are amounts of stuff allowed to be put in canned food that should not be eaten.  For instance, there are allowable amounts of bug parts and rat hairs in canned food.  When I first learned this I did not eat anything out of a can for many years.  I would can all of my food if I could.  These are things that happen in the process of canning the food that, even in parts per billion or whatever they are using, really does not belong in there.  But they are in there.  And we eat them.

Chocolate Being Made

I remember when I learned that many people allergic to chocolate are not allergic to the chocolate at all.  They are allergic to the bug parts and rat hairs that are in the chocolate from the process of making it. I remain in search of good, clean, organic chocolate from Europe or a company that I trust.

Some of us have made such a stink about this subject, that now some store owners will often post that these vegetables come from other countries, or they were grown in the United States. However, once again I ask, what do we really know about the processes they use in the United States today?

This year I read in the news about our government raiding companies that sell raw milk and shutting they down.  Why is that? And what is wrong with raw milk?  Why are these companies selling raw milk in the first place?  Why does milk supposedly have to be pasteurized today? Do you know?  Because I realized that I did not know the answer to those questions myself.  So I began to find out.

Former Director of Greenmarket, which is the largest group of farmers’ markets in the United States, and author of “Real Food and Real Food for Babies” Nina Planck, says raw milk is safe, providing you find a scrupulously clean dairy.  She says you should buy your raw milk from a dairy where the owner drinks his own milk product.  Planck says that during the Industrial Revolution there were some poorly run dairies with improperly farmed cows with poor hygiene, who when fed Whiskey mash left over from distilleries instead of grass, produced contaminated milk.  When it came to the collapse of hygiene with his industry, “Instead of re-examining and reinstituting traditional farming practices to circumvent deadly pathogens, the government opted for pasteurization” Planck says.

Cocoa Bean Growing Live Is What Chocolate Is Made From

We get Salmonella and E. coli poisoning from many other farming industries but these methods are still being used.

So who do you believe? There is much discussion and many different views on this subject and I am certain on most of the other ones too.  I guess you have to decide for yourself which route to go, about the milk.  By the way, there are only 39 states in which you can legally still make that decision for yourself.  The other states have already outlawed raw milk. But this brings us back to learning for yourself.  Maybe we should learn about these subjects before that decision is made for us by our lawmakers.  

What is in our food that other people make a profit on today?

From my education and my working experiences in labs with bacteria and viruses, I would definitely recommend washing all my fruit and vegetables with soap and water, or something similar used for the same process, before cutting them open to make certain all of the E. coli, or other bacteria that just might be on it, is gone.  Certain produce is supposed to be put into a percentage solution of bleach water when they are picked, but sometimes the solution is not the percent it should be.  Mistakes are made.

I also wipe clean all my eggs with rubbing alcohol and let them air dry for 3 minutes (because it takes this amount of time for rubbing alcohol to evaporate after it kills the bacteria) before breaking them open to let out the egg.  The salmonella will be on the eggshell, not in the egg.  These are simple precautionary measures that I have learned to take for myself.

I do not eat a hot dog unless I cook it.  I do not eat chicken unless I cook it, or I am certain it was cooked by someone I know, who understands how to properly cook it without fear of bacteria from the chicken still being in it, and cooked long enough, and hot enough that all the bacteria, that might have been in there is dead.

Fruits and Vegetables Are Picked From the Live Plants They Grow On

And I would never eat chicken from a certain fast food restaurant that shall remain nameless, unless they have changed their standards of transporting all their meat unfrozen.  I guess in my many travels I have been sick too many times from food improperly cooked by others like restaurants and do not want to be sick again so I take precautions on how to avoid it.

Birds carry so many diseases that if I had to kill a chicken and pluck it myself these days to cook it, I would not do it.

We have a neighbor here on the dock who says to me, when he is here, that I could probably just paint the dock white because I am out there hosing all the bird doo doo off of our dock.  I explained to him, that it is not the color.  It is what is in the bird caca. 

See the things I learned in my life?  They make me crazy with the knowledge of bacteria and viruses all surrounding us in everyday life.  But I am getting a handle on it these days.  At least I will touch doors and banisters now…ha ha.

When my husband took me on my first cruise to the Bahamas, he started calling me Monk-Ella because I would not touch the elevator buttons or the banister on the stairs.  And if you knew how many times I have fallen down because I do not think about where I am putting my feet, it would only make sense to hold the rail. ;-)

Sadly enough, I have heard people joke about the fact that the children of today do not even know where the food in the grocery store comes from.  I know that it is not every child but really, this is not good.

Why are we not teaching them about their independent survival?  If they were, God forbid, all alone and had to feed themselves, how would they do it?  If a child does not even know where their food comes from or that it is grown and it takes times to grow, what would they eat until some grew?  And how would they grow it?

What would they eat if they walked through the woods alone and did not know what was poison and what was not?

About The Milk

A non-political website has been established to educate the public about a very important issue to our health: the issue of high-quality, raw dairy.

p.s….Even the politicians are getting into the raw milk issue during this 2012 election year.  

A Political Message on the Issue of Whether We Should Be Allowed to Make Up Our Own Minds About “Whether We Get To Drink Raw Milk Or Not???”

This is just the first ad I have seen about Raw Milk:

A Political Message I Found On the Issue Of Raw Milk

Growing Tomatoes

No one could imagine the joy I felt when I read the first Orthomolecular Journal article on this new compound that is found in plants.

But, only in the plants that are NOT being grown by our current agricultural technology.  I am not sure about any other country, but for sure here in the United States we are growing our food wrong.

Can you imagine that we have done something like this?

When plant life is growing it has a food chain it lives in, just like humans who also live in one.  However, with plants, like the plant food we eat, when a pathogen attacks them, they make something with which to fight their attacker.  Isn’t that amazing in itself?

We certainly do not have that feature.  Well, we do in a way but it is kind of different.  

The Vineyard

In plants, something we call Salvestrols are part of a plants defense mechanism.  When a pathogen, say like a fungus, would attack a fruit, then the plant of the fruit will synthesize a pathogen specific Salvestrol right there on the fruit at the site of the attack, and it will enter into the pathogen.

These Salvestrols are then metabolized by a tumor-specific CYP1B1 enzyme in cancer cells that begins a process of reactions including apoptosis, which is cell death.(1-8)  So that these phytonutrients that we call Salvestrols do nothing to us, but when they enter a cancer cell, this enzyme inside the cancer cell, in metabolizing this phytonutrient, causes the cell to kill itself.(9-10)  Now that is pretty amazing.

Since that we have found this out, we have also found out that the modern way we grow our food en masse with all of our new technology has bred this particular phytonutrient out of the plant.

Modern Farming

You see the plant only makes this phytonutrient when it is under attack.  We now use pesticides and other agricultural techniques so that we can grow our farmed food to a certain height without them getting plant diseases, to keep our costs down and our profit up.  

Without plant diseases attacking our plants, the plants do not have to make this phytonutrient to save itself.  Therefore we have significantly depleted the amount of this nutrient currently found in our food, and therefore unfortunately also depleted its benefit for us in killing cancer cells inside our bodies.

With this knowledge one can only deduce that a switch in the diet to organic produce would be greatly recommended to prevent being less healthy especially when it comes to whether or not you might get cancer.  And of course you already exercise, right?

My guess is that no one out there as well as myself wants to conduct a battle with cancer, especially without arming oneself with some new weapons.  The weapons of choice in this prevention are also biotin, to stimulate production of the enzyme, niacin & magnesium to stimulate the activation mechanism, exercise to receive the metabolic rate necessary, iron for, in the core of this CYP1B1  enzyme, and vitamin C to prevent premature oxidation of the Salvestrols.(11-12)

Fresh Organic Produce

We use the Salvestrols we get from our plant food to help our body rid itself of cancerous cells.

I do not know about you, but I want to find out more about this, much more.

  Mother was at the post office the other day speaking with our local Postmaster about natural therapies, (we both come from backgrounds of natural therapies for whatever ails you), and she was explaining a treatment she knew of where, when everything just gets to be too much, either emotionally or physically or the stress is exhausting you and keeping you from being able to think, simply lie down on the ground face down and feel the dirt…just…feel…the…dirt…, and after you have relaxed and soaked up the earth you have let go of all the troubles and now you can go back and deal with whatever was driving you crazy. See….it is much easier now……

Soaking Up Electrolytes from the Ocean

     …..And it put Mother in the mind of macrobiotic treatments she had read about of old, where you should walk around on the earth barefoot everyday (for at least 30 minutes), for those who are ill as well as those who are not.

     This is soaking up the minerals from the earth into your body through the skin on your feet. Those minerals maybe you are not getting anywhere else, like from your food?….

     Homeopathic remedies are also from the earth in a way because they are grown in the soil of Mother Earth and she takes very good care of the plants that she grows.  Then these plants can be used by the people who know how to make them into Homeopathic Medicine.  Natural Remedies made from Mother Earth have been used by all indigenous civilizations throughout all time.  What else did they have?

     When a relative-by-marriage of Mothers was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, he told her that the doctor had asked him, “How many fruits and vegetables have you eaten from the store that were not washed before you ingested them?” Interesting question….Yes that is right…there are plenty of pesticides and chemicals on the food. Should we be eating the chemicals too?

     One would wonder why the doctor would ask this particular question? What did those chemicals put on the vegetables and fruits to preserve them until they get to market have to do with Parkinsons Disease? Doctors know things they cannot talk about.  Well whatever those chemicals do, it must be a bad thing.

     We need to stop GMO food and get back to nature and grow our own vegetables in our yard and be healthy again, without all the preservatives and other chemicals they need to put on the grocery store vegetables and fruit to keep them good for the 3 months of transport.  

     When Mother was still taking treatments for the illness she had, the doctors and the nurses told her to go to the ocean (obviously, if she lives on a boat there is an ocean around here somewhere) and get in it as much as possible to soak up the electrolytes from the ocean water, to replace what the treatments were depleting from her body. Electrolytes just like in Gatorade, only the ones in the Ocean are natural…

     There’s an idea! And she said it was exhilarating!

Sincerely, Mother
