Good Foods for Great Health

[MitchM]

Well that's encouraging!
I downloaded an ebook, My Pet Chicken Handbook.
There's no shortage of predators out here, but I could maybe build the coop next to the dog pen,
It would be nice to have our own eggs instead of driving into town.

Chickens will eat all your leftovers too. And talk about some good compost. Chicken manure when composted makes wonderful fertilizer. Don't use it fresh tho as it's too hot and will burn your plants.

Complete List of Non-GMO Food Brand

Genetically modified foods have been linked to a number of health and environmental dangers over the years. Frankly, many people simply don’t trust them and this is for good reason. Although science offers data on both sides of the equation, GMOs have not been around long enough to call them safe with long term use. Given the health problems that are already showing up, we should be kicking the practice of consuming GMOs. Corporations are pushing GMOs more aggressively than ever; fortunately this is only a serious problem in North America as most other places in the world have banned the production and sale of GMO products all together.
When we make the choice to not consume these restructured foods, we are not only making more health-conscious choices for our own wellness, but we are also choosing to support the companies that are doing the work to ultimately end GMO food production once and for all. The Non GMO Project has put together an ever-updating list of GMO-free food brands so that you can check to see if the food you are eating or thinking of buying is GMO-free. Check out the full list here
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been created by means of gene splicing techniques in the field of biotechnology. This experimental technology merges the DNA from different species, creating unstable and potentially dangerous combinations of plants, animals, bacteria and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. Note, GMO practices are not the same as hybrid or crossbreeding, it is entirely different.
“To make a GM plant, scientists need to isolate DNA from different organisms—bacteria, viruses, plants, and sometimes animals (or humans if the target gene is a human gene). They then recombine these genes biochemically in the lab to make a “gene construct,” which can consist of DNA from five to fifteen different sources. This gene construct is cloned in bacteria to make lots of copies, which are then isolated. Next, the copies are shot into embryonic plant tissue (microprojectile bombardment), or moved into plant tissue via a particular bacterium (Agrobacterium) that acts as a vector. After getting the construct copies into the embryonic plant tissue, whole plants are regenerated. Only a few plants out of many hundreds will turn out to grow normally and exhibit the desired trait—such as herbicide resistance.” - Craig Holdrege, director of The Nature Institute.
“The difference is pretty large. In regular cross pollination, the species being crossed have to be related . . . basically respecting their common evolutionary origin. But with GMOs, you can take any gene from any species and splice it into a crop. So you get fish genes in tomatoes or the like.” Joe Mendelson, director of the Center for Food Safety

Why Alkaline Water?
OK,you may ask,what is Alkaline Water and what is the difference with other types of water;ie purified/distilled/reverse osmosis or bottled ...mineral water?
To answer this question,let me take you way back into the year 1923. In that year, a German physiologist by the name of Dr.Otto Heinrich Warburg made one of the most important discovery in the entire medical history. Dr.Otto investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiraton of cells, paticularly cancer cells. From this research, he discovered the root cause of cancer.He was subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize in 1931 for his discovery. Below are some direct quotes from Dr.Warburg during medical lectures when he was the keynote speaker in relation to his findings:-
Dr.Otto Heinrich Warburg "Cancerous tissues are acidic,whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline."
"All forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia(lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one, you have the other."
"Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous."
This research concludes that our body needs to stay in an alkaline state to remain healthy and the best way of maintaining it is by drinking alkaline water since water made up 75% of our total body composition.

I would like to request that this thread be made a sticky so it's easier to find.

Thanks.

I drink the alkaline water here at home, we switched to it last year when it was available. Back years ago when hubby used to hang out at his Grampa's farm, the "old folks" used to talk about how the sick animals used to drink from this one alkline slew, like they knew they needed that water!
You can also take baking soda with water to make your body more alkaline. Just a note however.... if you make your body too alkaline, then your body will not be able to digest your food....

 

[j.w]

Note to self: If too much alkaline food won't digest............I get skinny........... I win the diet war

 

[koiguy1969]

you know what they say...... NEVER DIET, the first 3 letters say it all, D I E !

 

[callingcolleen1]

That is only in extreme cases, like when hubby was taking lots of baking soda to make his body very alkaline when he had cancer. Well he did some pretty extreme things when he thought he was going to die, like zap his lip with a electric volt repeatably, he rigged up the lawnmower to give himself a high volt without killing himself, Then he put nickel in some type solution, to dissolve the nickel and then drank that.
Then he ate some seeds that came from apricots or something,,,, you name it, hubby did it, when he thought he was going to die of cancer. What ever he did, that big cancer that he got from chewing the tobacco, seemed to have worked, cause the body made a protective covering over the cancer and it did not spread to any other part of the body. His doctors were amazed that he even survived, cause his cancer was so big and they had to cut so much away. half his upper lip, his soft pellet, the hard pellet, the top teeth gone and with his top jaw. Then they took parts of his leg and arm to rebuilt his mouth after they cut half of it away! Thank goodness he is alive and well today and his new mouth works good now, and some day they will give him new teeth they said!

 

[j.w]

Oh my gosh Colleen he did all that stuff? Wow I wonder if any of it really helped. I have heard of the apricot seed deal but none of the other ones. Just glad he didn't kill himself doing any of that stuff. Now he's good as new and bet he can't wait to get some new teeth. Do they have to wait a certain time for his mouth to be healed before they do the teeth?

 

[callingcolleen1]

Well new teeth would have to go over the bone that they took from his leg to create a new upper jaw. That new jaw has to be strong to hold the teeth. I do not want him to get that done cause I worry for him, but he wants teeth as soon as the doctor says it is ok. Hubby was desperate to stay alive and desperate people do desperate things. The nickel was soaked in peroxide and then he swallowed the nickels and then sapped himself repeatedly with the electricity from the lawn mower. The nickel and the electricity is supposed to kill the cancer some how. Hubby never told me what he was doing until AFTER he did it, cause he did not want me to worry... I am just happy to have him alive and well with no sign of cancer anymore. The doctor's were amazed at his recovery.

The mind and your will is very powerful, you can either fight to the best of your ability or give up. I have seen both, some fight and make it, or at least last longer, others just stop and pass on.

 

[j.w]

Yep he had a strong desire to live and stay w/ you Colleen and boy was he brave trying those things on himself. Wonder if he told the doctor what he did?
