The Great Monsanto Debate

The Great Monsanto Debate

The Great Monsanto Debate is a heated topic is mainstream social media.  However, television media still does not cover this topic, or understand what the great debate is all about.  The corporate side of Monsanto is a model robust top tier company that is doing their part to change science.  Monsanto Seeds have created a scientifically modified seed that increases food quantity for difficult to farm terrain, with unpredictable temperatures.

That is great news that a corporation is doing their part to help contribute to lessening the worlds hunger crisis.  The other side of the debate challenges by asking what about the health risks involved?  These scientifically altered seeds are causing great amounts of genetic destruction, sterilization, and super-weeds that require soil, water, and air polluting scientifically created toxins to kill them.  This is the reason that scientifically modified transformation of genetics is a debate that is being challenged across the globe.

The Monsanto side assures us that “Regulatory – is responsible for conducting scientific studies to prove the safety and effectiveness of our technology in order to obtain the necessary government approvals globally to launch our products” Monsanto.

The Citizens on the outside of the corrupt corporate led policies people are asking why the citizens would vote to allow the fox to sit with the chickens in the chicken house. This vote was obviously not made for, or on the behalf of the citizens.  The citizens were not a concern for President Obama as he led momentum to “FDA announced that Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive, had joined the agency as “senior advisor to the commissioner” Grist.  Tom Phillpott goes on to say that “Taylor’s new position isn’t his first in government. He’s a veteran apparatchik who has made an art of the role-swapping dance between the food industry and the agencies that regulate it” Grist.  This is where the people are having major issues.  This is the definition of corruption at the root.

The truth is that if you look at this from a different point of view what are the chances of a villain criminal becoming a police officer?  Let’s talk about this for a moment because this is a valid point.  The people want to ask what would happen if a police officer gets tired of his job.  He says law enforcement is not what it is all cracked up to be.  In fact, he runs out and joins a local gang and becomes a criminal.  He commits a few crimes, avoids sentencing because one of his buddies catches him doing something he wasn’t supposed to do.  This incident makes him think, and then his conscious gets the better of him.  The next day he decides to give up the life of being a criminal so he can return to the life of a nice police officer.

Does this make sense to anyone? How can Monsanto employees be allowed to work for a predominant position in FDA?  The FDA is supposed to protect the people, but it seems to take pride in the destruction of people.  We have no bans on prescription synthetics that are killing citizens at record numbers.  Seriously, question why is it that we have ban on Marijuana an innocent weed that cures cancer.  These are real issues that must be challenged.

Why is the White House, US Court’s, and EPA protecting Monsanto from charges against humanity? Corporations are not people.  Corporations are responsible for the harm that they inflict.  We could go back to social responsibility.  This is something that we are taught in college courses.  In fact “Corporate social responsibility encompasses not only what companies do with their profits, but also how they make them. It goes beyond philanthropy and compliance and addresses how companies manage their economic, social, and environmental impacts, as well as their relationships in all key spheres of influence: the workplace, the marketplace, the supply chain, the community, and the public policy realm” Harvard.

We are faced with a Corporate Monopoly that is controlling our government from the inside out.  These issues that are being presented will plague our people by contaminating our food, causing genetic abnormalities, creating disastrous environmental issues with soil, water, and air.  Disastrous is an understatement in fact His Royal Highness, Prince Charles, proclaimed in 2008 “What, all run by gigantic corporations? Is that really the answer? I think not. That would be the absolute destruction of everything and the classic way of ensuring that there is no food in the future. Millions of small farmers will be driven off their land [by global conglomerates] into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness. The “clever” genetic engineers have put us on course for the biggest disaster environmentally of all time. We should be working with nature. We have been working against nature for too long.” Huff Post

The fact is that although other countries are wising up to this sinister corporate agenda “While 30 countries, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, have significant restrictions and labeling requirements, or outright bans on the production of GMOs, there are presently no U.S. laws requiring GMO labeling” Huff Post.

The Truth about Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids: potential anticancer agents, PubMed

Cannabinoids are an active component of Cannabis sativa and Hemp.  These cannabinoids have healing holistic anti-cancer effects for patients being treated with this compound.  Cannabinoids have excellent adjunctive therapies such as preventing nausea, vomiting and chronic pain.  Cannabinoid’s have scientifically proven carcinogen shrinking compounds.  These compounds are proven to reduce tumor cells and growth in scientific cultures.  Cannabinoids are the most natural herbal treatment and are the most tolerated none toxic and is a proven benefit for patients enduring chemotherapy. Nature News

Cannabis has been around since 2900 BC “The Chinese Emperor Fu His (ca. 2900 BC), whom the Chinese credit with bringing civilization to China, seems to have made reference to Ma, the Chinese word for Cannabis, noting that Cannabis was very popular medicine that possessed both yin and yang” ProCon.Org.

The Bible speaks of Cannabis healing “New Testament, Jesus… anointed [his disciples] with [a] potent entheogenic [psychoactive substance] oil, sending out the 12 apostles to do the same [around the year 30 AD].ProCon.Org

The early to middle 1500’s knew all about the value of Hemp, in fact “During the Middle Ages, hemp was central to any herbalist’s medicine cabinet. William Turner, the naturalist considered the first English botanist, praises it in his New Herball, published in 1538.”ProCon.Org

Then the 1600’s rolled through bringing “The Jamestown settlers brought the marijuana plant, commonly known as hemp, to North America in 1611, and throughout the colonial period, hemp fiber was an important export. Indeed, in 1762, ‘Virginia awarded bounties for hemp culture and manufacture, and imposed penalties on those who did not produce it” ProCon.Org

Even Thomas Jefferson grew Hemp “[as noted in his farming diaries from 1774-1824], but there is no evidence to suggest that Jefferson was a habitual smoker of hemp, tobacco, or any other substance” ProCon.Org

The 19th Century Emerged Marijuana and Hemp into mainstream medicine “by a French doctor by the name of Jacques-Joseph Moreau [a French psychiatrist] found that marijuana suppressed headaches, increased appetites, and aided people to sleep.”ProCon.Org

In the late 1800’s Hemp and Marijuana had become common household names.  Most pharmacological product contained some form of Cannabinoid.  Research indicates that “The report mentions the use of cannabis as an “analgesic, a restorer of energy, a hemostat, an ecbolic [to induce contractions], and an antidiuretic.” Cannabis is also “mentioned as an aid in treating hay fever, cholera, dysentery, gonorrhea, diabetes, impotence, urinary incontinence, swelling of the testicles, granulation of open sores, and chronic ulcers. Other beneficial effects attributed to cannabis are prevention of insomnia, relief of anxiety, and protection against cholera, alleviation of hunger and as an aid to concentration of attention.”ProCon.Org

What happened in the 1900’s that made such a dramatic change.  This change essentially paved the way for the elimination of cannabinoids in everything we eat, drink, and produce.

What happened? Roosevelt introduced the US Food and Drug Administration and the next thing that happens “Marijuana is listed in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the most restrictive schedule. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which administers the CSA, continues to support that placement and FDA concurred because marijuana met the three criteria for placement in Schedule I under 21 U.S.C. 812(b)(1) (e.g., marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision)”ProCon.Org

The Food and Drug Administration, the same people that approve the harmful and fatal pharmaceutical drugs that our countrymen and women are finding themselves addicted to.  The facts are staggering “Comparing the five years (2001-2005) with the five years (2006-2010) finds that the number of deaths grew by +66.7% for the second time frame as compared to first. For the same comparative spans, serious patient leaped by almost three quarters (+77.5%)” Drug War Facts

People are dying from Cancer at a record rate.  It is estimated that in 2012 approximately 301,820 Men and 275,370 Women will die from cancer.  The point here is that cigarettes are legal, and so are alcohol and “All cancers caused by cigarette smoking and heavy use of alcohol could be prevented completely”Cancer.Org

Alcohol is legal, but “Excessive alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States and is associated with multiple adverse health consequences, including liver cirrhosis, various cancers, unintentional injuries, and violence” SaferChoice

Tobacco is legal, but “Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States, and 90 percent of lung cancer deaths among men and approximately 80 percent of lung cancer deaths among women are due to smoking.[4,5]”Cancer.Gov

Does any of this make any sense to you? It sure has me baffled.  Why should a harmless weed be classified as useless and they go as far as to say “marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision”ProCon.Org

  • Marijuana contains THC and Cannabinoids and THC is what makes you high.
  • Hemp contains Cannabinoids, and will not get you high unless you smoke an entire field of it, continuous.

Wake up people, stop letting the media twist and manipulate the truth.  The truth is Cannabinoids were made to be digested by humans.  Why else would we have two Cannabinoid receptors A, and B inside our body, if God didn’t want us to have this healing herb?  Why would the government create a synthetic duplicate if Cannabinoids weren’t healing? Why do we have to have manufactured synthetics when God gave us Hemp and Marijuana?  Tired of the lies!!

Echinacea Natures Immunity Booster, and Cold Buster

Echinacea the Natural Immunity Booster, and Cold Buster!

Cold and Flu season has returned with a vengeance the country continues to enjoy unseasonably warm temperatures.  Average Michigan winter consist of freezing cold, and a lot of white snow.  Bring on the New Year, it seems that 2012 is the year of La’Ninia Winters and that means that between “February – April 2012, there is an increased chance of above-average temperatures across the south-central and southeastern U.S., and below-average temperatures in the northwestern U.S” cpc.ncep.noaa.gov .

The warmer temperatures are a perfect host to a variety of unwelcome bacterial and viral infections.  The only escape is for a person to build a healthy strong immune system.  The contaminated air is inhaled hosting stagnant spurs perfect for “harvesting of those molds, and mildews that create air born viruses” EPA.Gov.  The milder temperatures have created an increase in the number of cold, sinus, and bronchial infections. cdc.gov/flu/weekly/

The popular herbal antidote that has served dedicated faithful service through the 18th and 19th Century.  Declined usage began with the invention of prescribed antibiotic medications.  The problems we are facing today are “the medications are known to fuel the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria and experts have grown increasingly worried about overuse” MSNBC.  It is time to get back to the naturals. Echinacea served centuries of true essential nutritional value before the abuse, and invention of the antibiotic.

Echinacea has served 400 years defending people from illnesses such as Scarlet Fever, Syphilis, Malaria, Blood Poisoning and Diphtheria. This historical, ornamental, and colorful “Native American medicinal plant called Echinacea is named for the prickly scales in its large conical seed head, which resembles the spines of an angry hedgehog (echinos is Greek for hedgehog). umm.edu.  Echinacea’s effectiveness in “recent studies have revealed that certain standardized preparations contain potent and selective antiviral and antimicrobial activities” PubMed.

This immune boosting herbal remedy ”Echinacea is also used against many other infections including the flu, urinary tract infections, vaginal yeast infections, genital herpes, bloodstream infections (septicemia), gum disease, tonsillitis, streptococcus infections, syphilis, typhoid, malaria, and diphtheria” WebMD

There are two types of Echinacea:

  • Echinacea angustifolia “this plant grows best in high elevation where the winters are cold”
  • Echinacea purpurea “this plant grows best in low elevation where the winters are mild” natsci.edgewood.edu

Echinacea is popular in household flower gardens in the spring and summer months when temperatures range comfortably between 55 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Planting Echinacea will visually enhance any garden.  The long stemmed, violet in color soft petals are fragrant, and entice beautiful butterflies to visit your garden.

Harvesting Echinacea occurs in late October, and can be done by tying the ends together with a string or rubber band and hanging in a high temperature controlled room for 7 to 14 days.

Systematic research surrounds this valuable immune boosting herb and science cannot deny that “Echinacea seems to activate chemicals in the body that decrease inflammation” WebMD

Children and the use of Echinacea “In the 2007 NHIS, Echinacea was the most commonly used natural nonvitamin/nonmineral supplement among children, and the third most commonly used supplement among adults” National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Dangers of Echinacea and precautions preclude that “People with tuberculosis, leukemia, diabetes, connective tissue disorders, multiple sclerosis, HIV or AIDS, any autoimmune diseases, or, possibly, liver disorders should not take Echinacea. There is some concern that Echinacea may reduce the effectiveness of medications that suppress the immune system”umm.edu

The Six Elements of Health and the use of Green Tea

Bouncing Bear Botanicals, Green Tea, and Herbals, The Six Elements of Health and the use of Green Tea

This article explain the importance of weight control, and explains that Green Tea is perfect for changing your shape, and fighting ailments such as the common cold. These are just two of the benefits you will reap from enjoying this healthy happy tea combination.  The word is out about health and lifestyle.  The future will consist of more people making hard core changes.  Changing those unhealthy habits into health habits sounds easy doesn’t it? Actually, if we compared healthy habits to unhealthy habits we learn that those unhealthy habits create a lot of problems inside your body.  Those unhealthy habits create those out of control free radicals that are running wild inside your body.  They are creating those free radicals at amounts your body cannot healthfully handle.  Just think about all of those unhealthy habits and all of the free radical hammering about on your genetic DNA therefore creating a lifetime of damage and disease.  Those unhealthy habits are festering inside and consuming your body with oxidative stress. This oxidative stress destroys genetic DNA, and is associated as the root cause to over 200 different chronic diseases.

People are waking up and realizing the importance of changing unhealthy habits and lifestyles.  Reducing exposure to free radicals is easy, especially when you fix the unhealthy habits that contribute to loss of health.  Reducing the exposure to free radicals enables people to live longer and healthier. However, it requires dedication and change.  Changing unhealthy habits to reduce the exposure to DNA destroying oxidative stress is critical.  These unhealthy habits are the link to oxidative stress and chronic disease.  Removing unhealthy habits will reduce the attacks from these free radicals, therefore reducing oxidative stress which leads to a life free from disease.

The problem is trying to change all of those unhealthy habits.  There is nothing fun, or easy about a healthy habit.  In fact unhealthy habits are the fun and easy ones.  Just typical isn’t it, all the things that are fun and easy, are often times the most harmful to our health.  Understand the meaning of complete health.  Accept and promote the willingness to improving lifestyle habits.  The earlier in life that these changes are made could possibly prevent a person from living a lifetime of chronic disease.

We can choose to live unhealthy, sick, and ready to die, or we can choose to get rid of those unhealthy habits.  Making the choice to change an unhealthy habit will enable a life of complete health.  Complete health is based on fulfilling the six elements of life.  These elements must be fulfilled if we are to achieve absolute health and wellness. Consider the six elements of life like a video game.  The lower the points the more your body is consumed by free radicals.  The higher the points the better your health and the less damage you will have.  Video game points will accumulate and the higher numbers will always win the game.  Unfortunately, the unhealthy lifestyle holders will not be so happy when they reach that negative decline, and the chronic diseases become all consuming.  Look at who is winning the game then? Healthy or unhealthy the point is you can choose who will win the game.  The more life points you have the healthier you are.  When those points go away, life is compromised and the free radicals win.

Healthy lifestyle seekers understand that reducing a free radical today, eliminates the diseases of tomorrow.  Living healthy and maintaining the six elements of health by using Green Tea.  Absolutely yes they are each walking together complimenting nicely hand in and.  These elements are vitally important in completing whole health and the continuation of a life time of health and happiness.  The six elements are physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental. These elements will determine personal health, or decline of health.

The following scientific research proves that drinking a daily dose of tasty Green Tea will reduce the amount of free radical damage occurring, reduce weight, and help the body build stronger immunity.  The following research will prove that Green Tea Infusion will enrich each of the six elements of health:

  • Physical- Fighting the common cold, increasing energy, decreasing cholesterol, and “Administration of green tea extract caused a significant decrease in serum glucose and total cholesterol levels and significantly improved the body weight loss in diabetic rats treated with 200 mg/kg green tea in comparison to diabetic control group” PubMed.
  • Mental- When we do not get enough sleep, we sacrifice mental acuity.  Green Tea stimulates “improvements in memory by marginally increasing delayed recognition” PubMed.
  • Emotional- Looking for an edge in the fight against seasonal depression.  Green Tea “has antidepressant-like effects, and this action did not induce nonspecific motor changes in mice” PubMed.
  • Social- Let’s do tea, shall we? Did you know Green Tea is more common than coffee in China? This is one of the main reasons Chinese people have healthier, longer lives.  “They found those who drank 5 cups of green tea a day were less likely to develop problems with daily activities as they aged. Analysts note green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets as well as more education and lower smoking rates” WCTV
  • Spiritual- Incredibly some of the most spiritual people on earth partake in a daily consumption of this hot or cold beverage selection.  It is the researcher’s responsibility to prove that Green Tea can assist people in their spiritual element for achieving a bountiful healthful quality of life.  There is a spiritual side and it is found “complete with a little square desk and a bottle of green tea, carrying the nation’s top Marxists up and down for eight hours a day. The Pope has his office on the 13th floor” Time.  I am sure the elevator operator for the Pope in China must be a very spiritual man, and not just because he is drinking green tea.
  • Environment- Thanks to the loyalty of Green Tea Loving customers a small business has recently “Reduced oil usage by 25%, Use 90% solar powered electricity, Saved over 4500 pounds of C02,  Planted the equivalent of 44 mature trees, and saved the equivalent of 4900 driving miles” GreenTeaLovers.

This article has related the six elements of health back to the daily consumption of green tea.  The only thing to prove is that indeed free radicals cause oxidative stress.  This oxidative stress leads to the decline of genetic DNA, and the proof of these peer reviewed scientific studies about oxidative stress are presented by visiting the following: http://www.qventerprises.com

Unhealthy habits are not really as challenging as they seem.  A person has to change one simple unhealthy habit, and replace it with a healthy one.  Set a goal and stick to the change.  Changing from soda, beer, alcohol, and choosing to drink water or Green Tea will show tremendous health benefits in years to come.  This concludes and confirms that consuming green tea will benefit the six elements of human health.

Tired of all of that coughing? Put down that bottle of cough medicine!

Tired of all of that coughing? Put down that bottle of cough medicine!

Let’s talk about the fact that there is something that tastes even better, and is 100% natural.  This article will explore the power of green tea, thyme, honey, and lemon.  It will present scientifically proven facts about these four delicious items.  Then a recipe will be provided introducing this flavorful remedy. The best thing about this remedy besides the natural components, this remedy is a lot cheaper to make, and consume, and works a lot better than those cough syrups, yuck!

Green Tea has brought forward lots of positive medical values.  According to a recent article “Green tea’s antioxidants, called catechins, scavenge for free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to cancer, blood clots, and atherosclerosis. Grapes and berries, red wine, and dark chocolate also have potent antioxidants” WebMD.

Thyme has been a proud consumable herb that the Greek’s have boasted for centuries.  Rarely would a person consider thyme for anything outside of soups, stews, or roasts.  That was my opinion anyways.  That just goes to show you how totally wrong that opinion was. It wasn’t until a recent bout with sinusitis, and being plagued by symptoms of having continuous prolonged chest congestion that I started seeking other alternatives.

The secret is out! I am a Green Tea lover.  Recently I have been experimenting with different tea concoctions.  One of my close friends suggested that I try infusing thyme into my green tea.  His suggestion was that thyme has powerful anti-oxidant strength, and would help break the chest congestion.  The cough was deep in my chest, and tight.  It had gotten to the point where the cough was so persistent that not even the cough medicines would sooth the cough for long.

That night I gathered the ingredients.  I must tell you that when he first recommended this infusion it made me scrunch my face and worry, especially after smelling the thyme in the jar.  The truth is that thyme just doesn’t smell very good, that’s my story, and I am sticking to it.

This cough was persistent, and what did I have to lose anyways? That is when I started brewing a fresh pot of tea.  Then while waiting for the tea to brew I started to research the entire thyme idea on Google.  Google is the absolute best!

Completely amazed by the amount of research that was available that consistently proved what my friend had said.  Research concluded that “Thyme is so beneficial that pharmaceutical companies used thyme in their medications and mouth wash. NOTE: Do not use thyme in large doses; do not exceed recommended dose. Not for pregnant women or those with a thyroid condition” Thepowerherbs.

This research gives excellent insight into the reason why thyme is so valued.  Pouring the first cup of this brew was not disappointing.  The material research provided good confirmation from The Power Herb people, but that is a blog, and people want hardcore facts.  That is when I pulled out the PubMed card.  Whenever you have a question about the validity of something you have heard.  The first stop everyone should make is to go see what they can find on PubMed.  The research indeed confirmed that “Thyme oil demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotics resistant strains of the tested bacteria” PubMed.

Honey should never be underestimated and should be a common household staple.  Every single house should always have a jar of honey around.  You never know when it will come in handy.  Honey breaks down inside the body faster and research indicates that “Honey has numerous medicinal properties and because it coats your throat it is a natural way to soothe sore throats. It also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to help fight infections from viruses, bacteria, and fungi” Huffingtonpost.

Why am I using Huffington Post as it is considered opinion at best? Well, it was an excellent article and helped explain the natural healing of honey in easy to understand words.  The next stop for validation was to research PubMed.  PubMed offers a wide range of clinically proven research studies and provides an excellent academic resource.  It presents study research that validates scientifically and offers an abundance of medical information covering a wide range of topics.  When researching Honey 5,440 peer reviewed articles were offered.  The article that was selected indicated that “Pure honey and honey-based mixtures are used primarily to treat respiratory symptoms and illnesses by both study groups” PubMed

Lemons a perfect combination that infuses the compounds of Green Tea, Thyme, and Honey and drinking it will provide the power of an inexpensive cough remedy that you make at home naturally at a fraction of the cost of that bottle of cough medicine.  The natural remedy is only common sense that points back to the obvious “Drinking tea or warm lemon water mixed with honey is a time-honored way to soothe a sore throat, But honey may be an effective cough suppressant, too” MayoClinic

In the time that it has taken me to write this article my cough has quieted and after sharing this fabulous miracle tea, I am off to dream land.  Don’t take my word for it.  Make up a pot of your own or make it for someone you love, especially if they need a good night of sleep without coughing.

Better Than Cough Medicine No Cough Green Tea Recipe:

  • 2 quarts of water
  • 1 packet of Lipton Green Tea
  • 2 tablespoons of Honey
  • 2 teaspoons of Thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of Lemon

Boil 2 quarts of water, remove water from heat, combine thyme into the green tea bag and let steep for 30 minutes.  Then add lemon and honey before you drink.  This tea is best if consumed warm, or hot for best anti-cough results.  Immediate results guaranteed!
