"A SHOT IN THE DARK"

Did you know that 48 doses of 14 vaccines are given before the the age of 6 ?

The healthcare "professionals" ASSUME that more vaccination equals better health and better individual health. Check out Barbara Loe Fishers website about vaccines. The hepatitis B vaccine is given the first 12 hours of a baby being born. At 2 months old an alarming 8 more are given! If you are a new parent in the making or know someone who is, please educate yourself and pass this vital information on.
Follow the link I have posted below for a downloadable flyer that shows the schedule of vaccines for our babies and young children.

EAT LOCALLY NOT GLOBALLY

Here is a great website and resource to find areas in your neighborhood to purchase fresh, organically grown foods, no matter where you live in the U S of A.
The wonderful aspect of eating locally grown foods is you get more nutritional value rather than the additional chemicals. People do not realize that the LESS we pay for food the MORE chemicals we ingest!

Inexpensive food has a hidden cost-
damage to our health, climate and the environment.The hot link below is for my area of Greenville, SC. After you click the link below place your zipcode in the box at the top of their page and you're on your way to eating locally, not globally.

Diatomaceous Earth

Its one thing for my cat to have fleas, but when they are jumping and biting me too, it really sucks. Recently, I was at my neighbors house when her 12 year old dog was rolling around rubbing/scratching her back on the carpet, then outside in the driveway on the rocks trying to get relief from the fleas and dry skin. I instinctively rubbed a handful of FPP on the dog. Excitedly, I told her how the powder dries up any pests and relieves animals of their unrelenting itching. She replied, “We are trying to keep her moisturized not dry her up”. Mind you, I don’t have an itchy dog, (just one that pees and wears designer diapers), so I felt bad having contributed to de-moisturizing my friends poor, old pup. To our surprise the pup stopped scratching within minutes and has done well ever since! The chemicals we put on our animals to kill tics and fleas are toxic, not just to them, but to us. Here is a pesticide that is not harmful to animals or humans and its edible! This natural pesticide powder is called Diatomaceous Earth. 5000 or more years ago it became part of the pantheon of Chinese medicine. In European countries it is used by holistic seeking individuals as an alternative to chemicals for strengthening the nails, hair, skin and bones. In other countries it is used as an additive in the large grain silos to keep them bug free. Here is how it works on our little, fury friends:
Officially called fossilized phytoplankton powder (FPP), the sharpness of the fossil cuts through the waxy coating of a pests outer layer of skin, essentially drying them up, dehydrating them (the pests). Diatomaceous Earth can be found online at freshwaterorganics.com and available in 3 different grades. I purchased the organic human consumption grade. To my surprise, I found that diatomaceous earth lowers cholesterol, kills parasites, and is great for the nails, skin and bones!....not to mention its edible.....! Click the link below to watch a thirty minute video (trust me, after the first 5 or 6 minutes you'll be buying this stuff in bulk!)

WHAT IS A GMO?

What are GMOs?
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.

Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.

Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
