Natural Detox to remove allergies, mercury, chemicals, GMOs, parasites

When ground into a fine powder, diatomaceous earth works mechanically to destroy a wide range of pests, insects, parasites and pathogens by cutting through the exoskeleton, absorbing bodily fluids and causing them to die. Food grade diatomaceous earth is chemical-free and non toxic. Diatomaceous earth has many uses including detoxification of the body — inside and out; protecting pets and livestock from parasites and insect infestation; and keep your yard and garden pest-free. Detoxing Add diatomaceous earth to your diet to detox parasites that can contribute to food intolerance, nausea, bowel discomfort, pain, itching, asthma, sinus infections, Morgellon’s disease, and a host of other allergic-type reactions.

Raising Rabbits for Food

Farming with rabbits is becoming increasingly popular because they can be kept in a relatively small space it is not expensive to keep them they eat almost anything they produce high-quality protein they can be sold to make money. Housing A big cage can be made of wire mesh or scrap wood. Individual cages should be 80 x 60 x 60 cm high to house a medium-sized rabbit. The cage should have a wire mesh floor with holes large enough for the droppings to fall through (the holes in the mesh should not be big and allow their feet to get stuck). The cage should not have a ground floor because the rabbits will dig a way out. If a wooden frame is used, the wire mesh should be placed on the inside of the frame to prevent the rabbits from gnawing through it. The mother, however, needs a nesting box to keep her babies warm. Clean the cage regularly and keep it dry to prevent disease. Protect the cage from sun, wind and rain. Rabbits need plenty of fresh air. 12 Fruits & Veggies With The Most Pesticides (2013 Dirty Dozen)

The Amazing Benefits of a Home Organic Aquaponics System. By Andy Whiteley Co-Founder of Wake Up World What is Aquaponics?

The Amazing Benefits of a Home Organic Aquaponics System

Aquaponics is an integrated aquaculture (growing fish) and hydroponic (growing soil-less plants) system that mutually benefits both environments. Aquaponics was essentially born out of hydroponics, which at the time made farming a lot easier. This process was associated with planting your veggies inside containers together with water. Thankfully, fertilizers and harmful chemicals are not required when setting up your own home organic aquaponics system.

The below video features U.S. farmer, Will Allen from Growing Power, who has taken successful Aquaponics cultivation to the extreme. Will Allen Talks Us Through Growing Power What are the Benefits Aquaponics? Up to 10 times more organic plants! With aquaponics you place plants closer together on a float system above the water, therefore it fits 10 times more plants in the same space! There’s no more weeding! The system removes the need for pain-staking and annoying weeding. Natural Revolution. Grow your Own Produce. Gardening / Aquaponics / hydrophonics. Aquaponics. NUTRITION. ALL ABOUT FOOD.
