5 Hearty Hard-to-Kill Houseplants for Apartments with Low Light Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies. One of the biggest frustrations of living in a space with limited light is the seemingly impossible task of keeping your houseplants happy.

The easiest way to determine what will do well is to look to the plant's natural conditions. Succulents, cacti and other desert dwellers are best suited to sunny spots, while anything that naturally grows on the forest floor, under a canopy, or thrives in shade is a candidate for lower light situations.

Harvard research links fluoridated water to ADHD, mental disorders. (NaturalNews) A leading cause of ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) and autism in children could be the hidden chemicals lurking in the foods we eat, the water we drink and the products we consume, says a new study recently published in The Lancet. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) found that, among other things, the fluoride chemicals added to many public water systems in North America directly contribute to both mental and behavioral disorders in children. Building upon earlier research published in 2006 that dubbed fluoride as a "developmental neurotoxicant," the new review included a meta-analysis of 27 additional studies on fluoride, most of which were from China, that linked the chemical to lowered IQ in children.

He explains how he does it. “The most fundamental element of balancing in a physical sense is finding some kind of “tripod” for the rock to stand on. Every rock is covered in a variety of tiny to large indentations that can act as a tripod for the rock to stand upright, or in most orientations you can think of with other rocks. By paying close attention to the feeling of the rocks, you will start to feel even the smallest clicks as the notches of the rocks in contact are moving over one another.

Jay Weidner, New DawnWaking Times The age of iron has no other seal than that of Death. Its hieroglyph is the skeleton, bearing the attributes of Saturn: the empty hourglass, symbol of time run out… – Fulcanelli The inspiration for this article comes from my almost nineteen years of research into the Great Cross of Hendaye and the French alchemist Fulcanelli. The unknown, anonymous, alchemist Fulcanelli in his masterpiece The Mysteries of the Cathedrals first brought the cross at Hendaye, France to the world’s attention. While the details of this research can be found in other articles written by myself and in the two books I co-authored,1 it can be stated that the Great Cross at Hendaye appears to be describing not only the end of the great four ages of the Hindu Yuga system but also the four ages of alchemical chronological time keeping. According to the mythology of the Yuga system, there are four ages of life and time on our planet. The Precession of the Equinoxes The Quality of Time.

The School for Gods - To Win Death. If you question the idea that death is inevitable, you have a chance. If you don’t, you will remain prisoner of your own description – victim of your own conflictual thoughts and emotions. Remember! Your inner conflicts and self-sabotage are more dangerous than any war. To Win Death Physical death can materialize as a consequence of an infinite number of inner deaths.

You are here for one reason only:to win deathNothing else matters.The long agony that you call reality stops existing here. To win death is the only game worth playing. In order to win death you have to cultivate the idea that the body is indestructible and that death is not inevitable. You need, then, to master the process of regeneration of your entire being, eliminating thus all boundaries and limitations through a remarkable technique - voluntary death. If you do not circumscribe your sorrow and pain, it will materialize in unpleasant events.

There is no help coming from anywhere at all. Stop dying! Remember! Psychobiotics: Bacteria For Your Brain? Dr. Kelly Brogan, M.D., Green Med InfoWaking Times Every functional medicine psychiatrist has case stories of the ‘probiotic cure’ – of a patient with debilitating symptoms, often obsessive compulsive range, whose symptoms remitted completely with dietary change and probiotic supplementation. Is this voodoo or is it based on a growing understanding of the role of the microbiome in mental health and behavior? For two decades now, pioneering researchers have been substantiating inflammatory models of mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Research has focused on markers that indicate immune distress in an important subset of patients, many of whom are labeled “treatment resistant.” Inflammatory Models of Mental Illness: The Role for the Gut Working with this premise, where is the best place to begin when we consider how to modify inflammatory states in the body, naturally?

I am well aware that just because somebody (no matter what their ‘position’) says something to be true, does not mean it’s true. Exceptions, however can be made if there is evidence that goes beyond their words and correlates with what they say. At the end of the day, you have to listen to what your heart tells you.

Paul Hellyer was the Canadian Minister of National Defense in the 1960’s during the cold war. He was responsible for combining the Canadian Air Force, Navy and Army into what is known today as the Canadian Forces. He was the highest ranking person (on paper) inside of the Department of Defence for Canada. The Honorable Paul Hellyer is the highest ranking person among all g8 countries to openly speak about UFOs and extraterrestrials. He has been speaking about UFOs and extraterrestrials for quite some time now, and he recently made an appearance on RT news stating that there are at least 4 known alien species that have been visiting Earth for thousands of years.

So I ordered some Jerusalem Artichokes from Oikos Tree Crops to plant for this spring.

Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchokes), Helianthus tuberosus are a native perennial in the Asteraceae (sunflower, asters) family. They are suppose to be a good alternative to potatoes being less starchy. From what I have read about them they are not very fussy and easy to grow. I ordered 14 Red Rover and 7 White Fuseau tubers. This is our first attempt at growing Jerusalem Artichokes and I’m considering another first………growing them in a hugelkultur bed. Hugelkultur is a raised bed filled with rotten wood debris.

I will post again soon about the hugelkultur bed building and jerusalem artichoke planting process once it is completed.
