SUPPLEMENTS SHOWN TO HELP PREVENT EFFECTS OF RADIATION FALL-OUT | COLLAPSENET. By Dr. Melissa Patterson, ND (additional editing and research by Suzie Gruber, MA) [photo: medicinal plants, by Daderot, via Wikimedia Commons] © Copyright 2011 Dr. Melissa Patterson, ND, all rights reserved -- At publication, the nuclear emergency in Japan continues to worsen. -- March 16, 2011, Sebastopol, CA - Yesterday, my Sebastopol colleague, Dr. Dear Patients, Friends and Colleagues, Over the last few days I have heard great concern over the potential of radioactive fallout from the nuclear power plant explosions in Japan. Please feel free to send it far and wide. I begin with information on radioactive fallout and the jet stream. Radioactive Fallout and the Jet Stream Radioactive fallout is defined as radioactive material that is carried by winds until it settles to earth.
Supplements to Start Taking Now The following are supplements that I recommend that you start taking now to help your body prepare preemptively for radiation. Herbal Remedies Contraindications – None. References Dr. Your Brain On Ketones: How a High-fat Diet Can Help the Brain Work Better -- Health & Wellness. The modern prescription of high carbohydrate, low fat diets and eating snacks between meals has coincided with an increase in obesity, diabetes, and and increase in the incidence of many mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. In addition, many of these disorders are striking the population at younger ages.
While most people would agree that diet has a lot to do with the development of obesity and diabetes, many would disagree that what we eat has much to do with our mental health and outlook. I believe that what we eat has a lot to do with the health of our brains, though of course mental illness (like physical illness) has multifactorial causes, and by no means should we diminish the importance of addressing all the causes in each individual. But let's examine the opposite of the modern high carbohydrate, low fat, constant snacking lifestyle and how that might affect the brain.
Glutamate has several fates, rather like our old buddy tryptophan. Diet and Violence: Positive Effects of Nutritional Supplementation on Aggression -- Health & Wellness. Paul Whiteley*, I believe, originally posted to the comments concerning some very interesting studies on diets and violence. Over the past 10 years, several groups of researchers have done some decent work in this area, and (for once in the nutritional-type literature) I can actually look at a randomized controlled trial of good size and design that was actually replicated.
The modern era of good studies begins with Oxford nutrition and criminology researcher, Bernard Gesch (1). Back in 2002, he published a (full free text) study entitled "Influence of supplementary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids on the antisocial behavior of young adult prisoners. " In this study, 231 (young, male, adult, prisoner) volunteers agreed to receive a daily vitamin, mineral, and essential fatty acid supplementation or placebo. Here are the active ingredients of the multimineral, multivitamin, one of which the prisoners in the active arm received daily: The results? Oh snap! 72 percent of grocery shopping carts contaminated with fecal matter (satire) (NaturalNews) (Note: This true but humorous article contains mildly offensive language. Do not continue reading if you are easily offended.) A researcher from the University of Arizona has determined that 72 percent of shopping carts are contaminated with fecal matter.
A full 50 percent also contained e.coli. Ready for some shopping fun? The research was carried out by Professor Charles Gerba who swabbed the handles of 85 shopping carts across four states, reports USA Today ( "What are you doing up so late in the lab? " Turns out he found what he was looking for… and plenty of it. Interestingly, while this study found all kinds of fecal matter on the grocery cart handles, it didn't really look at all the crap inside the shopping carts! Yep, there's fecal matter on the handles, and crap in the carts! You just gotta love conventional agriculture, huh? Better yet, grow some of your own food.
Google Rolls Out New Search Tool for Recipes. Google began rolling out Thursday a new search feature that makes finding recipes on the web a little easier. Dubbed "Recipe View," the feature lets users filter search results according to ingredients, cook time, calories and more. Users can search, for instance, for recipes containing brussels sprouts, devised by chef Ina Garten, that take less than an hour to make.
Pictures, ingredients and one- to five-star user ratings are highlighted in the listed results, helping users quickly discover or bypass recipes. To use Recipe View, simply select the "Recipes" link on the left-hand panel when searching for a recipe. Google plans to enable the feature to all users in the U.S. and Japan by Thursday evening; it also plans to introduce the feature to additional countries in the future, a Google spokesperson said. The Hidden Weakness of Natural Health Laws in America, Part 1. The ignorance of the vast majority of Americans toward Codex Alimentarius, unfortunately including most natural health advocates, is one reason Codex is not currently a major source of popular concern.
However, another more disturbing reason is that even those who are aware of the dangers of Codex are convinced that its decisions will have no impact on the laws of the United States. In recent years, the United States has seen an increasing interest in the areas of natural healthcare and vitamin and mineral supplements. At the same time, however, the level of activism defending those treatments and industries has been steadily decreasing. This is significant because the amount of attacks against them have been increasing as well. In general, this is because Americans have been lulled into complacency by a false sense of security known as the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). However, most health freedom advocates are unaware of this. Notes: [4] Walter, Suzan. See also, Wholeshare - Home. Diet soda may be tied to heightened risk of stroke, study claims.
DIET soda drinkers are probably doing their waistlines a favor, but may also be boosting their risk of having a stroke, according to research released by researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The study monitored the health of more than 2500 patients over nearly a decade. They answered lengthy questionnaires about nutrition along the way and were monitored for several conditions. In the time they were under evaluation, 559 of the test subjects experienced vascular events, including strokes caused by hemorrhage and those caused by clots. Controlling for several factors, including age, smoking and alcohol intake, those who drank diet soda daily were 61 percent more likely than the rest to experience a stroke. Even when taking into account people with existing vascular disease, the link still held.
Study authors did not find any connection between regular soda and strokes. Soft drinks of any kind, diet or sugary, are linked to several health problems. Food for thought – diet does boost your intelligence. Codex Alimentarius Loves Toxic Fluoride, Part 1. In the previous article, I wrote about the global implications of Codex Alimentarius. I discussed in some detail the oppressive standards recommended by BfR, which have largely been included in the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements.
However, there is one more provision included in the risk assessment process that even many critics of Codex are unaware of. This is the goal to not only treat nutrients as toxins, but treat toxins as nutrients. At first, this is not readily apparent. The fact that researchers have the audacity to claim that vital minerals like Iron should not be consumed in measurements above 0 mg is disturbing enough. This chemical poison is listed only in the “moderately high-risk” level of risk categories.[2] Yet the reality is that fluoride is a very dangerous chemical with serious risks of harm to both health and the environment.
This is also where the nutrient group methodology comes into play. Notes: USDA Disappoints: No Regulations on GE Alfalfa. A deficiency of dietary omega-3 may explain depressive behaviors. [ Print | E-mail | Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Séverine Ciancia severine.ciancia@inserm.fr INSERM (Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale) How maternal essential fatty acid deficiency impact on its progeny is poorly understood. Dietary insufficiency in omega-3 fatty acid has been implicated in many disorders. Researchers from Inserm and INRA and their collaborators in Spain collaboration, have studied mice fed on a diet low in omega-3 fatty acid. In industrialized nations, diets have been impoverished in essential fatty acids since the beginning of the 20th century. To verify their hypotheses, the researchers studied mice fed a life-long diet imbalanced in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Among omega-3 deficient mice, the usual effects produced by cannabinoid receptor activation, on both the synaptic and behavioural levels, no longer appear.

Imagine my surprise, after promoting this organization on my site, recommending it to so many others and believing this group would be instrumental in the fight against oppressive government regulations and unnecessary legislation that will cause undue hardship on organic farmers, ranchers and anyone devoted to natural food and traditional farming and ranching…..I find this alert from OCA calling the efforts to stop these egregious bills from being passed “internet myths”. (See Alert below) It is apparent NO ONE at OCA has actually read the bills or realizes that the “food Safety” bills are nothing less than pieces of an overall plan. This capitulation on the part of OCA occurred less than 24 hours after the Ag committee hearings that occurred yesterday regarding the intents of these bills.
What a difference a day makes! OCA might be interested in reading this list of who is who in the world of corporate pandering before calling any thing a “myth”.

But the USDA and FDA do not stand alone. The Purse Strings Rockefeller Let’s take a look at just a part of what the Rockefeller crime family is involved in concerning our food supply. Today, the Rockefellers use coercive population control tactics and food as a weapon through a front organization, CGIAR (Consultative Group on Agricultural Resources) as the Rockefellers are trying to distance themselves from public- just like the Rothschild clan has done.

Olive oil, green leafy vegetables prevent heart disease. (NaturalNews) Italian researchers have confirmed that diets rich in leafy green vegetables and olive oil are vital for heart health. Dr. Domenico Palli from the Cancer Research and Prevention Institute in Florence and his colleagues discovered that women who eat at least one serving of leafy greens a day are 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease than women who eat less. And those who consume at least three tablespoons of olive oil a day earn roughly the same benefit. "Probably the mechanisms responsible for the protective effect of plant-origin foods on cardiovascular diseases involve micronutrients such as folate, antioxidant vitamins and potassium, all present in green leafy vegetables," explained Palli to Reuters Health, confirming what previous studies on the "Mediterranean Diet" have already found.
Published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study collected data from about 30,000 Italian women and tracked their health over the course of eight years. Wholegrains reduce stroke by as much as drugs: research. Nutrients for Better Mental Performance.
Alcohol. The History of Health Tyranny: Codex Alimentarius, part 1. Excerpt from Codex Alimentarius -- The End of Health Freedom Brandon Turbeville -- Activist Post Contrary to popular belief Codex Alimentarius is neither a law nor a policy. It is in fact a functioning body, a Commission, created by the Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization under the direction of the United Nations. The confusion in this regard is largely due to statements made by many critics referring to the “implementation” of Codex Alimentarius as if it were legislation waiting to come into effect. A more accurate phrase would be the “implementation of Codex Alimentarius guidelines,” as it would more adequately describe the situation. Codex is merely another tool in the chest of an elite group of individuals whose goal is to create a one world government in which they wield complete control. Power over the food supply is essential in order to achieve this.

Jan. 5, 2011 UPDATE: Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act. By Steve Green S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act*, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money. “If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.
History In the 1990s, Bill Clinton introduced HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) purportedly to deal with contamination in the meat industry. S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds. 1. 2. The Food Issue - Michael Pollan's Favorite Food Rules - Interactive Feature. The Omnivore’s Dilemma: My Review « Say what, Michael Pollan? When I read Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma for the first time two summers ago, I was taken aback by a relatively innocent passage in his section on the Supermarket Pastoral food chain: Taken as a whole, the story on offer in Whole Foods is a pastoral narrative in which farm animals live much as they did in the books we read as children, and our fruits and vegetables grow on well-composted soils on small farms much like Joel Salatin’s.
“Organic” on the label conjures up a rich narrative, even if it is the consumer who fills in most of the details, supplying the hero (American Family Farmer), the villain (Agribusinessman), and the literary genre, which I’ve come to think of as Supermarket Pastoral. By now we may know better than to believe this too simple story, but not much better, and the grocery store poets do everything they can to encourage us in our willing suspension of disbelief. (137) I had certainly never looked at organic food this way. Like this: Like Loading...
