According to Dr. John Fagan, a molecular biologist specializing in genetic techniques, Genetically Engineered foods (GE foods) are too unproven to be safe, not only for human consumption, but for our environment, as well. In the U.S. up to 50% of our soy, corn, and canola crops are already genetically altered. He recommends that consumers insist on buying only organically grown foods or foods that are proven to come from nonbioengineered sources. - Rozella Kennedy, Mothering Magazine No. 99 March-April 2000 The U.S. government has released new federal
standards for growing and processing organic foods that now bar
the use of genetic engineering or irradiation. Secretary of
Agriculture Dan Glickkman said that the new standards will be the
"most comprehensive, strictest organic rules in the
world." So, look for the seal of approval "USDA
Certified Organic" when you shop. Ritalin for Tots? From 1991 to 1995, stimulant
prescriptions (i.e. Ritalin) written for preschoolers jumped
200-300% in spite of the manufacturers' warning on the label
against its use for children under 6 years of age. Doctors can
prescribe drugs for 'off-label use' when 'the
diagnosis is clear and there are no alternatives'. But with
ADHD in small children, there is no 'clear diagnosis'.
Also, there are no studies on the effects of stimulant medication
on small brains and bodies. What soyfood can lower your cholesterol?
Tempeh! What is it? Tempeh is an ancient Indonesian food made
from whole soybeans fermented with a grain such as rice or
millet. It contains 19% protein, 3 grams of fiber for every 3.5
ounces consumed, and the fermentation that tempeh undergoes makes
it easy for the body to absorb its calcium, iron, and zinc and
changes its protein into easily digestible amino acids. Eat 13
ounces a week in order to achieve general health benefits. Keeping a journal can release emotional stress
and can help keep you physically healthy. Asthma patients who
wrote about emotionally stressful events had 16% better lung
function after four months of journal writing. Arthritis patients
who wrote on emotional topics had a 28% reduction in symptoms.
However, you don't have to keep a daily journal to experience
the health benefits. If you write in your journal during times of
stress it can have a remarkable therapeutic effect. The flower essence of Morning Glory is said to
refresh and energize people who have erratic eating and sleeping
patterns. It is especially helpful for people with a tendency
toward addictive behaviors and those who rely on stimulants such
as caffeine for energy. Flower essence practitioners say morning
glory helps people get up in the morning and maintain their
stamina throughout the day. Dark varieties of chocolate contain high levels
of catechins, substances with antioxidant properties that may
help fight cancer and heart disease. However, it is important to
remember that chocolate is full of sugar and fat so enjoy it in
moderation. A study of 40 patients diagnosed with influenza
found that 90 percent of flu patients who had taken 10 ml of
elderberry extract four times a day were completely symptom-free
after three days. The symptoms of the untreated patients lasted
for six days. Ginkgo, which is known for promoting memory, actually only helps if the cause of lack of memory is decreased blood flow to the brain. There are several reasons why people have memory loss. If the problem causing the memory loss is hormonal imbalance the ginkgo is not the solution.- Herbal Remedies for Women (Prima, 1997) by Amanda McQuade. Cordyceps is a fungus that grows on insects,
especially silkworms. It is rare but herbalists in China have
known about it for thousands of years. Studies show that the
extracts from this fungus can help prolong the life of cancer
patients and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and
radiation therapy when taken regularly for years. Patients taking
cordyceps in conjunction with radiation or chemotherapy showed a
higher percentage (85%) of normal blood counts than those who did
not take it (59%). The herb thyme was found to inhibit the H.
pylori bacteria now known to cause ulcers. In four studies, cactus stems (Nopal) were
found to lower blood sugar levels in Type II diabetes. In other
studies, garlic was also shown to lower blood sugar levels. |
Stage One
Water first enters a 5-micron pre-filter that is 12 inches long.
It removes any large sediment or debris that may damage the
membrane.
Stage Two
A solid-block, activated carbon filter (inside the sediment
pre-filter) removes excess chlorine to protect the PA membrane
and assists in removing chloramines.
Stage Three
An efficient Polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis membrane produces 35
gallons of purified, highly oxygenated drinking water per day.
Reverse osmosis effectively reduces total dissolved solids,
including fluoride, lead and cadmium.
Stage Four
A 12-inch, solid-block, activated carbon filter removes traces of
any pollutants while improving the taste.
