Ms. Fallon Morell estimates that as many as one million people in the
United States regularly consume unpasteurized milk and that the
number is “rising very quickly,” reflecting trends toward organic and

My best guess would be that the extra Mg is causing an electrolyte imbalance
- are you getting enough calcium, potassium and sodium?

I've also been trying to google any kind of information on side effects and
haven't come up with anything negative at all.  Everything I've read says
magnesium should be curing headaches.  Hmmmm, I'll keep searching.

Paul, I believe what you say is true.  However, I am wondering if you can give
me a good reference for this piece of information.

I am studying to become a nutritionist and it is important to me to have the
references to support what I teach people.



Thanks so much!

Hello!

Last week I finally got in some nigari flakes to make a Magnesum Chloride spray.
Has anyone else had issues with getting a headache, and kind of feeling foggy
headed after using the spray?  The first night I sprayed and rubbed in about 8
squirts.  It did tingle and I expected that.... but that night I got a mild
headache and I don't think I really slept at all.  I kind of just calmly laid
awake all night long, it seems like.  I've reduced the sprays to about 4 squirts
every other day, but I almost always get this headache.  Could it be detox or
maybe I'm just not supposed to be doing this for some reason?

I had kind of noticed that when I took epson salt baths I would sometimes get a
headache afterwards.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Judy

I did saliva hormone testing through Canary club. At that time you could choose
ZRT or Diagnostechs. I chose Diagnostechs (because they did saliva thyroid
tests, but stopped that by the time they got my sample :o(

If I had ordered the tests through a doctor, I could have got more comprehensive
testing done, which in hindsight I should have done, then I might know why my
body isn't turning excess progesterone (from over-supplementing) into cortisol
(which I am low in). Diagnostechs have a web site.

So I reckon the basic test is good to give you an idea of where you are at, but
if something is 'out' then more testing may be needed to find out why. It was
good to get proof of adrenal fatigue, which my doctor (at the time) said doesn't
exist - my new doctor has been trying to help me with the adrenal fatigue - but
getting pregnant didn't help (oops).

Unfortunately I don't think this type of research will come to much good. The
recent lawsuit against Danon for false advertising over their b.l. regularis is
just the tip of the ice berg as big food starts to tinker with our guts.

This type of research is going to lead to GMO probiotics,  anti-obesity
antibiotics and lord know what else.

Obesity is caused by too much carbohydrate. "Everyone" knew this from the middle
of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century. Too much carbohydrate results in
insulin levels that are too high. Insulin is the fat storage hormone. When
insulin levels are above a certain levels, the body cannot take fat out of
storage. The key solving the obesity problem is to lower people's insulin
levels.

Heart disease is caused by inadequate collagen production in the vascular
system. Collagen gives arteries strength. Atherosclerosis is an adaptation to
this problem. It as an alternative method of strengthen arteries. Fresh meat
provides hydroxlysine and hydroyproline, the building blocks of collagen. This
is why it cures and prevents scurvy. Ascorbic acid can be used to produce
hydroxlysine and hydroxyproline so it is another mechanism to prevent
atherosclerosis (and scurvy). Glucose competes with ascorbic acid so sugar is a
major cause of heart disease. Polyunsaturated fatty acids is another major cause
because it produces free radicals which damage the collagen-poor arteries.

Cheers,

Paul

I did a saliva-only test through NeuroScience Inc. - progesterone, estriol,
estradiol, estrone, testosterone, androsterone, cortisol and DHEA.  If I were to
repeat, however, I'd drop some of those and replace with thyroid hormones. 
Neuroscience's test are a la carte - and I think about $17/test.  But I think
you have to be working with an MD or someone who works with an MD (in my case, I
was working with a holistic RN who works in an office with a holistic MD).  I'm
not sure on this point, though.

It even gets perpetuated by contributors to WAPF.  One of the columnists under
"following in his footsteps" thought it makes you fat unless you exercise it
off.

The Flu Vaccine Horror Story You Never Heard About

the H1N1 Pandemic Flu Being Investigated as a
Designed Bioweapon?

  <http://adserve.lewrockwell.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a39b1c5b&>


Pregnant women face an unusual and stressful challenge this year. How do they
really know, with all of the outright false and
misleading information distributed by public health agencies, that this year's
flu shot is safe?

An online <http://miscarriage.about.com/gi/pages/poll.htm?poll_id=4231429812> 
poll reveals 414 of 552 women (75%) would not undergo
flu vaccination against the H1N1 pandemic flu. Yet pregnant women are considered
to be in a high-risk group for flu-related
mortality.

Pregnant women are chatting on internet message boards, and the following
reports, if true, are a bit horrifying. Here are some from
an About.com site, monitored by Krissi Danielsson. (Numbers refer to the online
posting.)

October 29th, I delivered a stillborn baby boy, and no one can tell me
why.Everyone wants to say it did not come from the shot but I
believe it did. My baby was growing at the correct pace and everyone wants to
brush off the vaccination. I say if you have the
vaccination and suffer a miscarriage if they are able to perform an autopsy have
it done.

I'm from a town of 2000 in SD, there are several women pregnant and we are all
due within a few weeks of each other. Four of us got
the H1N1 vaccine 2 weeks ago and one by one each of us started to have preterm
contractions. We are all due in Nov and Dec so we are
further along than most of the people that lost their babies. There is no way
you can tell us that our preterm labor was not caused
by the H1N1 vaccine. It may look like a "fluke" to some people when these women
are scattered all over the country but we are
talking about 4 of us in our small community. My heart goes out to all of you
that lost your babies.

There are more pregnancy/flu-shot horror stories involving stillbirths you can
find here
<http://miscarriage.about.com/b/2009/09/29/some-pregnant-women-fearful-of-h1n1-v\
accine.htm> .

Yet pregnant women have been told that the vaccine is safe and they are told
they are in a high-risk group for flu-related
mortality. (Flu-related death does not appear to be due to the flu but rather
the treatment for the flu. See here
<http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi125.html> .)

The H1N1 pandemic vaccine has only recently undergone testing in pregnant
females. A report
<http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091102172431.htm>  says "To date,
the vaccine appears to be well-tolerated, and no
safety concerns related to the vaccine have arisen."

Poland rejects the vaccine

But a health minister in Poland speaks out on YouTube, stating that there are
numerous websites for manufacturers of this year's
H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine, yet she cannot find reports of any unwanted side
effects for these vaccines. Poland has elected to avoid
use of the vaccine among pregnant women.

Polish health minister Zdrowia challenges her medical colleagues: "I would like
you to visit any of these (vaccine manufacturer)
websites and find any unwanted side effect. Any slightest thing, at least one,
like allergical skin rash. That can happen even with
using the safest medicine. There are none on those websites. It is a 'perfect
medicine'."

She then goes on to ask, why, if this vaccine is perfectly safe, do
manufacturers seek exemption from legal recourse by patients
harmed by the vaccine?

  Stillbirths and the flu

The horror for these women is that they dutifully followed their doctor's advice
to get inoculated for the H1N1 influenza and lost
their pregnancy and now wonder if vaccination was the cause of their lost
pregnancy.

About 26,000 stillbirths occur in the US every year (~70 per day), and an
estimated 3.2 million worldwide. [Obstetrics Gynecology
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19888051>  2009 Oct; 114(4):901-14.] Just
how many stillbirths or birth defects are caused by
flu infection during pregnancy has been difficult to ascertain.

Studies involving stillbirths are recognized to be flawed. They almost entirely
rely upon hospital births which are obviously skewed
towards problem pregnancies.

The scuttlebutt circulating on the internet is that some 50 percent of pregnant
women experience stillbirths or lose their pregnancy
anyway (which is erroneous), so how can the loss of a pregnancy be blamed on a
flu shot?

It is generally believed that infection of any kind, bacterial or viral, may
increase the risk for stillbirth.

It is estimated, in developed countries, between 10% and 25% of stillbirths may
be caused by an infection (virus, bacteria,
protozoa). [Seminars Fetal Neonatal
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19285457>  Medicine 2009 Aug; 14(4):182-9.]
But again, this
a broad guesstimate.



Chart shows the absolute number of stillbirths in Kanagawa (A) and Osaka (B),
Japan, in the years prior to and during the Spanish
flu pandemic. The continuous line represents the number of anticipated
stillbirths in the absence of the flu, and the circles
represent the observed number of stillbirths in a given month.




Only very recently has a reliable report been produced regarding stillbirths and
influenza. During the Spanish flu, health
authorities in Japan accurately recorded stillbirths during the pre-pandemic
period of 1913-1917, and the pandemic period 1918-1920.
About 7.5 to 9.0 percent of births in two cities (Osaka, Kanagawa) during the
1918 flu pandemic were stillborn.

Using this 1918 data as a model, given 30,000 stillbirths per year among 1.1
million pregnant women in Japan today, which represents
2.7% of births, the flu would increase this number by an additional 3000-9000
stillbirths, to about 3.5% of births. That would be an
increase of less than one stillbirth per 100 live births. [Obstetrics 
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19679387> & Gynecology
and Reproductive Biology 147 (2009) 111-115]




If this 1918 model were applied to the US today, where there are ~4 million
births annually, there would be about 32,000 excess
stillbirths due to the flu. But that number is obviously flawed because it
represents more than all the stillbirths reported
annually in the US.

The problem is this model is based upon an unprecedented flu outbreak in 1918
which no other pandemic can be compared to in severity
or loss of life. There were previously unrecognized factors, such as the only
recently recognized worldwide over-use of aspirin
<http://www.lewrockwell.com/sardi/sardi125.html>  to control fever during the
1918 Spanish flu which may have induced vitamin C
deficiency and lung inflammation (pulmonary edema), with resultant mortality.

The question remains, do pregnant women face a significant increased risk for
stillbirth due to the flu? If not, why vaccinate?

Vaccination during pregnancy




The customary practice for pregnant women has been to advise against any
vaccination of any kind during pregnancy and to receive
inoculation against measles, hepatitis B, mumps and tetanus prior to pregnancy
or following birth. [International Journal
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8094357>  Gynaecology Obstetrics. 1993 Jan;
40(1):69-79]

Yes, it is true, that a controlled study did recently show that flu shots reduce
influenza-like illness by more than 30% among
pregnant women and reduce the viral count in the blood circulation among 63% of
pregnant women and infants. [Obstetrics Gynecology
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19622998>  2009 Aug; 114(2 Pt 1):365-8]

Yes, fine, the flu shot prevents flu-related illness, the characteristic fever,
diarrhea and cough. Yet the question remains, does
the flu shot reduce flu-related mortality and stillbirths, and is there any
possibility that flu vaccination in any way might
increase the risk for stillbirth?

Higher flu-related maternal mortality was reported in 1918 and 1957 flu
outbreaks, but not in other years. Rates of hospitalization
have been significantly elevated due to seasonal flu infection beginning in the
1st trimester of pregnancy, but vaccination to
prevent serious outcomes is yet to be demonstrated.

Vaccination against influenza is recommended in the US for all women who will be
pregnant during the influenza season to prevent the
occurrence of influenza and the development of pneumonia. There is still no firm
evidence that maternal influenza infection is
associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, birth
defects, or mortality. [Nippon Rinsho
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17037370> 2006 Oct; 64(10):1930-3]

Why not let pregnant women endure the symptoms of their bout with the flu and
avoid any untoward side effects caused by the vaccine?

Canadian researchers say "evidence is otherwise insufficient to recommend
routine seasonal flu vaccination as the standard of
practice for all healthy women beginning in early pregnancy." [Vaccine.
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19515466>  2009 Jul 30;
27(35):4754-70] That certainly is not what American women are hearing.

Health authorities in Switzerland
<http://thekatycapsule.com/wordpress/switzerland-forbids-swine-flu-vaccine-for-p\
regnant-women/>
do not permit use of the H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine among pregnant women this flu
season (2009-10).

"not" the vaccine. I'm sorry. That makes no sense.

I didn't listen to the program and just scanned the article.  Did they specify
what kind of fat?  Fat means something different to the mainstream and scientist
than it does to us native nutrition eaters.  When I think of fat, I think of
lard but the picture showed a doughnut which implies transfats.  I don't think I
can take this seriously.  The sad part is many people will.

I heard that report too and they make some valid points.  But they did manage to
blame fat again!  First, they start with the assumption that fat will make you
fat, as in "a healthy low-fat plant based mouse chow".  I'ts already been
disproven in research that fat does not make you fat unless you eat it in
excess, but it keeps getting perpetuated by poor science and the media anyway.

There are several other flaws in this study, or at least in the part they're
reporting on the news.  They don't mention what high-fat, high-sugar foods were
fed to the mice, only that they were high-fat and high-sugar.  Their number one
huge mistake here is that they have too many variables.  If they didn't test the
high-fat separately from high-sugar, they don't know which variable caused the
restructuring of the microflora.  It's already proven that sugar can do that all
by itself.

Then they don't make any distinctions about what kind of fats were used, even
though we all know that transfats aren't natural and are killers.  Perhaps bad
fats alone could cause restructuring.  But they're lumping all fat together as
bad.

So, once again, fats get a bad rap in the media even though every cell membrane
in our body is made up of various kinds of fats that are of the utmost
importance to our health, determining what does and doesn't get into our cells! 
Do they ever stop to consider that if all fats were really bad for us, there
would be no such thing as human life?  There is no French Paradox, only stuck
old thought thinking and flawed research!!!

Too bad, as this research could have actually found out if any kinds of fats,
good and/or bad, cause restructuring.



My rant for the day.....

Raising dairy cows on pastureland seems as natural as growing
tomatoes in the backyard. Yet, most dairy cows in the U.S are raised
in enclosed, confined systems. Feed is grown, harvested and mixed
with grain and other additives. While energy and other input prices
were low for farmers, this system provided inexpensive, safe dairy
products...

Here is a blunt article that feels resources will run out if population
increases:

http://tiny.cc/DZJQv

Here are two articles that feel resources aren't a problem but rather the
organization and care of resources are the real issues:

http://tiny.cc/OFtbT

http://tiny.cc/JMvzq

I can't see a shortage in water.  I don't feel water needs to be consumed by
people directly, as we can get it from raw milk, meat, and the vegetation we
eat.

It is apparent that there are issues with the resources our economy promotes. 
While oil won't be necessary in the future the issue is how to shift to other
resources when it runs out.  It's apparent we can switch oil with a more
abundant and efficient resource in the future that won't run out.

I personally look around and see things getting worse.  What will it take for
our world to turn around from the chaos that is multiplying.

So perhaps all it will take is an attitude change from the people of what they
value, just what class means, and what they want to invest into.  Hard to say. 
I'd like to hear a well thought out argument for both sides.  This is what I
have so far.

A very relevant question is "Under the optimal conditions can mankind thrive
with an expanding population with unlimited resources for centuries to come"?

Many researchers are obviously short sited because they aren't knowledgeable
enough on more optimal management of resources and more efficient alternative
resources.

I think the biggest problems that attribute to the world's condition today are
Greed and Ignorance.

Hey Chris, I thought I'd continue this topic with a couple web-sites that raise
questions...

I also thought I'd share with you more of where I stand with this.  I'll start
with this topic and then share the web-sites and my other opinions.

Try reading Dr. David R. Hawkins book "Truth vs. Falsehood" for a very
interesting view on politics.  It's a good alternative to the diarhea
regurgitated and absolutely annoying lamebrain shit of Mr. O' Reilly and all the
other influential members of society that brainwash their bullshit on to us. 
Maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe I'm crazey and I'm just not correctly interpreting their
valuable information.

Also, if you're interested in subjects such as alternative governments, a better
ran society, and the different concept of ruler's opinions, their
positionalities, and the pros and cons of their ideas watch this series,
especially episodes 36-42 of this "cartoon".  This helped mold my opinion. 
Sounds immature huh?  Although I see fact in this fictional fantasy, I don't
completely agree with the series viewpoints.  It does a decent job of covering
soveriegns, dictatorships, democracies, population control, and "utopian
societies" with their "superior race".

http://tiny. cc/TZWGz

I am for a democratic oligarchy republic that has the other branches that hold
it in place with a "checks and balances" system, all classes and ranks of people
have the ability to interact and make this government work more efficiently with
the best of their interests and to maintain balance with humanity and nature. 
Everybody needs the ability to freely questions eachother and work out issues
such as economy, laws, etc.  Lately though there's too much selfishness and one
sidedness.  A Presidency is like a soveriegn, but there's too much corruption,
opposing viewpoints that don't work together, and the fulfilling of parties
interests rather than what's best for everybody in the long run.  Why if there
really is an optimal answer and approach to everything our world leaders are so
divided?  I think then if their is an optimal way of doing things then we need
to combine the best of everyone and turn it all into one cooperative movement. 
Let's kill a
  hundred cajillion birds with one stone rather than one at a time, while 2
billion other birds muliply and multiply.  Metaphor: bird/issues kill/resolve. 
We really need to put a system in place where integrity is a high priority, a
business like government where you get demoted for incompetence and someone more
fit for the position takes that person's place.  By all this I don't mean to
increase Government.. .with more competent people in power there would be less
people running it overall, as a very competent person can literally do the job
of 10 less competent people.  Especially with a reorganization it's hard to
imagine how much more efficient any government can be ran.  For example: I can
do the job of 5 less competent workers at my job, and in fact I even played the
role of my manager.  Obviously I worked with very devolved people so my
competence threatens their job, thus I don't belong there.  However, with
running our country such theoretical
  competent people are necessary and important while it is not for a white trash
backwater crimelord company.

So here is a very interesting link that simplifies the population subject and
includes an insightful chart:

http://tiny. cc/Z5W1P

Here's a couple other links that may be of interest:

http://tiny. cc/FOBwZ

http://tiny. cc/BdUZp

http://tiny. cc/ZybrN

People need to stop doing what they want to do that goes against the big picture
of what will maintain the balance and prosperity if they would instead do what
has to be done.

So there may be a chance our world population could grow.  In a perfect world I
wouldn't mind being stuck with 100 billion people, but in reality this creates
problems.  Lower standard of living, less education, more crime, more injustice,
loss of tradition.  If we all had a higher level of awareness there could be 1
trillion Buddhas on this planet, perfectly happy in their nirvana sitting 1 foot
away from eachother in a meditation therefore no need to eat and no need to work
out any problems as their is none.  That is not the reality of what will happen
and I would hardly call the standard of modern day China or India as ideal.  If
we could all co-exist in peaceful harmony with eachother and climb up our
spiritual ladder with just as much opportunity of today if not more I am all for
a ginormous population.

We seriously need to work out resource organization.  It's apparent fish are
running out.  From what I've seen you can't really run out of cows, chickens,
potatoes, so let's really look into changing what we market.  If we enforced
better standards we may cure most illnesses.  So much meat gets wasted.  With
any resource period we would need to work out how it gets distributed.  It would
be nice to shift from money to having a money free society that works to share
resources with eachother freely, peacefully, and abundantly.  Star Trek style. 
Everyone seems to be ignoring the problems and it's going to come back and
painfully bite our asses off.

I hope I don't sound like Adolf Hitler, after reviewing his work I really don't
feel like he had any true resolutions, and was a very forceful and destructive
person.  Like all war mongering oppressive dictators.  Very strategic, very
effective with application, but for all the wrong reasons and with out humanity
or true positive solutions.

It's so annoying when there is so much biased information out there you can't go
to a definitive source for truth.  I don't believe Dr. Phil, Lance Armstrong,
Bill O' Reilly, Oprah Winfrey, with all of their influence in the world are
doing it justice.  Where are the straightforward teachers that offer something
good?  The most unbiased source I could find was David R. Hawkins.  I don't
trust college or most people.

While I like Ron Paul and Robert Kennedy I find flaws in them.  Therefore I
would prefer Mitt Romney or Huckabee for their conservative principals, but
can't say if they can successfully carry it out in office.  Maybe the above
individuals could do a better choice.  I know there is a way of going about
things and when JFK attempted something different he got assassinated, so I will
say you are useless if you are dead, so accomplish what you can instead of dying
for a dream you can't pull off.  Work with the system, transform the system, but
don't work against it as that never works.  No matter how messed up the system
is you have to play the game right or you lose.

Hey Chris, I thought I'd continue this topic with a couple web-sites that raise
questions...

I also thought I'd share with you more of where I stand with this.  I'll start
with this topic and then share the web-sites and my other opinions.

Try reading Dr. David R. Hawkins book "Truth vs. Falsehood" for a very
interesting view on politics.  It's a good alternative to the diarhea
regurgitated and absolutely annoying lamebrain shit of Mr. O' Reilly and all the
other influential members of society that brainwash their bullshit on to us. 
Maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe I'm crazey and I'm just not correctly interpreting their
valuable information.

Also, if you're interested in subjects such as alternative governments, a better
ran society, and the different concept of ruler's opinions, their
positionalities, and the pros and cons of their ideas watch this series,
especially episodes 36-42 of this "cartoon".  This helped mold my opinion. 
Sounds immature huh?  Although I see fact in this fictional fantasy, I don't
completely agree with the series viewpoints.  It does a decent job of covering
soveriegns, dictatorships, democracies, population control, and "utopian
societies" with their "superior race".

http://tiny.cc/TZWGz

I am for a democratic oligarchy republic that has the other branches that hold
it in place with a "checks and balances" system, all classes and ranks of people
have the ability to interact and make this government work more efficiently with
the best of their interests and to maintain balance with humanity and nature. 
Everybody needs the ability to freely questions eachother and work out issues
such as economy, laws, etc.  Lately though there's too much selfishness and one
sidedness.  A Presidency is like a soveriegn, but there's too much corruption,
opposing viewpoints that don't work together, and the fulfilling of parties
interests rather than what's best for everybody in the long run.  Why if there
really is an optimal answer and approach to everything our world leaders are so
divided?  I think then if their is an optimal way of doing things then we need
to combine the best of everyone and turn it all into one cooperative movement. 
Let's kill a hundred cajillion birds with one stone rather than one at a time,
while 2 billion other birds muliply and multiply.  Metaphor: bird/issues
kill/resolve.  We really need to put a system in place where integrity is a high
priority, a business like government where you get demoted for incompetence and
someone more fit for the position takes that person's place.  By all this I
don't mean to increase Government...with more competent people in power there
would be less people running it overall, as a very competent person can
literally do the job of 10 less competent people.  Especially with a
reorganization it's hard to imagine how much more efficient any government can
be ran.  For example: I can do the job of 5 less competent workers at my job,
and in fact I even played the role of my manager.  Obviously I worked with very
devolved people so my competence threatens their job, thus I don't belong there.
However, with running our country such theoretical competent people are
necessary and important while it is not for a white trash backwater crimelord
company.

So here is a very interesting link that simplifies the population subject and
includes an insightful chart:

http://tiny.cc/Z5W1P

Here's a couple other links that may be of interest:

http://tiny.cc/FOBwZ

http://tiny.cc/BdUZp

http://tiny.cc/ZybrN

People need to stop doing what they want to do that goes against the big picture
of what will maintain the balance and prosperity if they would instead do what
has to be done.

So there may be a chance our world population could grow.  In a perfect world I
wouldn't mind being stuck with 100 billion people, but in reality this creates
problems.  Lower standard of living, less education, more crime, more injustice,
loss of tradition.  If we all had a higher level of awareness there could be 1
trillion Buddhas on this planet, perfectly happy in their nirvana sitting 1 foot
away from eachother in a meditation therefore no need to eat and no need to work
out any problems as their is none.  That is not the reality of what will happen
and I would hardly call the standard of modern day China or India as ideal.  If
we could all co-exist in peaceful harmony with eachother and climb up our
spiritual ladder with just as much opportunity of today if not more I am all for
a ginormous population.

We seriously need to work out resource organization.  It's apparent fish are
running out.  From what I've seen you can't really run out of cows, chickens,
potatoes, so let's really look into changing what we market.  If we enforced
better standards we may cure most illnesses.  So much meat gets wasted.  With
any resource period we would need to work out how it gets distributed.  It would
be nice to shift from money to having a money free society that works to share
resources with eachother freely, peacefully, and abundantly.  Star Trek style. 
Everyone seems to be ignoring the problems and it's going to come back and
painfully bite our asses off.

I hope I don't sound like Adolf Hitler, after reviewing his work I really don't
feel like he had any true resolutions, and was a very forceful and destructive
person.  Like all war mongering oppressive dictators.  Very strategic, very
effective with application, but for all the wrong reasons and with out humanity
or true positive solutions.

It's so annoying when there is so much biased information out there you can't go
to a definitive source for truth.  I don't believe Dr. Phil, Lance Armstrong,
Bill O' Reilly, Oprah Winfrey, with all of their influence in the world are
doing it justice.  Where are the straightforward teachers that offer something
good?  The most unbiased source I could find was David R. Hawkins.  I don't
trust college or most people.

While I like Ron Paul and Robert Kennedy I find flaws in them.  Therefore I
would prefer Mitt Romney or Huckabee for their conservative principals, but
can't say if they can successfully carry it out in office.  Maybe the above
individuals could do a better choice.  I know there is a way of going about
things and when JFK attempted something different he got assassinated, so I will
say you are useless if you are dead, so accomplish what you can instead of dying
for a dream you can't pull off.  Work with the system, transform the system, but
don't work against it as that never works.  No matter how messed up the system
is you have to play the game right or you lose.

Older men without corruption and bias.  One thing their Oligarchy represents is

arising.  That would mean giving up the shallow wasteful over consuming American
lifestyle.  I don't know how our economy could work that out...  So a higher

That kind of procedure is described in Wild Fermentation. Not sure if I've seen
it elsewhere, but I think I have.

Further processed: Mixed with garlic, ginger and spices, then add salt water,
put in a crock pot and let ferment.
