What Is Health

Been following life in the cloud for a while. Today I found this and it needs passing along so here you go. Follow link to source.

Alexander Higgins Fukushima Report

If you’re paying attention to health you’ve found some teas and drink them every day. I’ve known that ginger is supposed to be really good for us for a while and I keep buying ginger root. Problem is it usually sits somewhere until it goes bad.

I saw that ginger root in the fridge today and thought, “I should boil it and use the water to make tea later”. So I did.

Making a ginger tea stock worked really good. I just peeled it like an apple and grated into the water. Simmered it for a few hours, strained it, poured it into a jar and stuck it in the fridge. Later I got a cup of ginger tea stock, heated it up and put a tea bag in it. Tres Jolle…

I guess I could do the same thing with a licorice root, or any root. I’ll have to experiment.

Are you sick of TV Medicine too?

Quick Fixes vs. Real Nutrition Fixes

Commentary by Ralph Campbell, M.D.

(OMNS May 1, 2012) It is so easy to accept the razzle-dazzle of “medicine” and medicines that will “cure” ills and its superiority over the tedious and disciplined act of taking care of your body in the first place. When illness strikes, medicine may seem more appropriate than following a healthful corrective change in lifestyle.

TV and other media depictions of new drugs and “medical breakthroughs” have great appeal for those seeking a short cut. Especially when they put down old-fashioned and cumbersome advice that touts good nutrition and vitamin supplements.

In addition to pharmaceuticals, surgery plays a big role in the PR campaign of “medicine”. Along with the highly technical “imaging” that goes with it and the fact that most surgical procedures and accompanying tests are covered by health insurance, a convincing picture is painted for the “quick fix”.

Recently, on the TV evening news, I saw a classic (and sickening) example. (read the rest at Real Nutrition by Ralph Campbell, M.D.)

There is a war being waged against health and wellness. The same type of organized attack we see on anything that appeals to common sense. Real food, clean air, healthy soil and practically any naturally occurring earth event is deemed dangerous. But don’t fret ignorant masses, we’ll protect you.

If you walk by or sit down for any series of commercials on corporate owned TV you’ll see the same theme running throughout: You’re stupid, you don’t know what’s going on, you don’t know what’s good for you, so you can’t survive on your own, but don’t worry we’ll take care of you.

Doesn’t matter if it’s financial, medical or something as basic as food – You can’t be expected to handle it – So we are. When did we become The Nation of Pussy’s?

Tim Bolen has the answer to that question. On his site (quackpotwatch.org) he explains:

The “quackbuster” operation is a conspiracy. It is a propaganda enterprise, one part crackpot, two parts evil. It’s sole purpose is to discredit, and suppress, in an “anything goes” attack mode, what is wrongfully named “Alternative Medicine.” It has declared war on reality. The conspirators are acting in the interests of, and are being paid, directly and indirectly, by the “conventional” medical-industrial complex.

These so-called quackbusters seem to be a branch of a larger movement, the “skeptics”. Their website at www.skeptic.com shows who they are. Skeptics think of themselves as having opinions based on scientific ‘truth’. They are very outspoken and very much “out there” to disabuse the rest of us of any idea that does not fit into their version of the scientific world view.

While real scientific procedure requires there to be observation and experiment, formation and testing of hypotheses, and open discussion of both experiment and theories, the skeptics have firmly made up their mind on a number of issues. And they don’t hesitate to tell us where we are going wrong…

Mercury and fluoride for instance are not poisons for skeptics, and anyone who thinks they are must clearly be a conspiracy nut.

For a while I’ve been a fan of “Intentional communities”. This are communities formed by people who have realistically looked around and inside themselves and said, “I need to live different”.

This morning I woke up thinking “Make a Town”. That was it, just, make a town. I started wondering if I could. Would I need to find some un-incorporated land? Is there any? Is there any land in the US that someone doesn’t own or control? I don’t know.

I thought about looking up the patents on earth batteries and wondered about clean water. What I was really after I guess was some way to live intentionally. To be as independent from kooky government and the yoke of laws and regulation as possibly I could. So far that’s all I’ve done – thought about it.

I think about it everyday in one form or another – how can I get myself free? I’ve thought about it now for fifty years. Still haven’t got decent a plan.

Is there a way to get free of all collective dictatorships? Or can we only hope to find or form a less crazy one? I don’t know. I know living by default is not a healthy way to live. I can’t imagine that living free wouldn’t be more enjoyable. Wouldn’t it be better to decide what you wanted to do than to figure out how to do what you had to do? I’m sort of surprised people haven’t just said, “We quit!” (more often) – Why does it take so long to see the dictatorships which spring from every known form of government?

It’s not like there’s no information, no historic reference repeating itself. It’s not like every person hasn’t seen it with their own eyes. Anyway …

So I’ll renew my efforts to live as I intend. Today, right now as things stand, I don’t know what more I can do.

Here on Earth we are able to live thanks to all the insects and bacteria. When you seek to kill the bugs and bacteria you are acting suicidal (an act some other stupid people decided was against the law by the way) . But there is also the genocidal consequence which, in case you hadn’t heard, is also against the law. So aside from being ethically void, being labeled “Stupid” by the saner inhabitants of the planet and signing your own death warrant – is illegal (for the average citizen).

If you just need to kill something why not join a mercenary group. You could still be a government employee but your stupid ideas would be confined to a narrower target. If you just want to make a lot of money, before the crash, wouldn’t it be better to steal it? There are lots of other insane fuckers out there with a bunch of money – target them. If you need to be part of some “In Crowd” I suggest you do a lot of drugs, then you can simply pretend you’re really something and not effect the planet.

If you can’t get the nerve to do something honorable, the courage to make better choices and there’s no turning away from stupid I – just don’t know what to tell you. I can’t think of a single thing to say. What do you say to the insane? After all, they’re insane.
