Miedo a No Valer: La Sombra que Planea Sobre Tu Pleno Bienestar.

Miedo a no valer: la sombra que planea sobre tu pleno bienestar.Entre las muchas interferencias con que las personas se ven obligadas a elegir entre huir o atacar… el fantasma del miedo es uno de los más acuciantes. Y entre los más inmovilizadores está este miedo a no valer, que afecta de tal modo el paisaje interno y el cuadro de creencias, que condena a la persona que lo padece a un dolor creciente y amargo. ¿Cómo podemos deshacernos de este miedo tan tóxico?El miedo a no valer, a no poder, a no ser suficiente es un miedo que conocemos desde niños. Cuando eres pequeña hay muchas fronteras que no puedes cruzar: algunas porque es físicamente imposible (alcanzar la lata de las galletas) y otras porque forman parte de lo que la familia ha señalado como inapropiado (decir tacos o escarbarse la nariz).  Esto forma parte del proceso normal de colaboración paterna para ayudar al niño en su adaptación a la sociedad  y los niveles de frustración que esto conlleva.

Pero cuando nos enfrentamos a un desproporcionado intento de protegernos del fracaso o del engaño… o arrastramos un sentimiento de culpa superlativo que nos inmoviliza… estamos ante un problema que puede llevarse por delante nuestras posibilidades de que crear la vida que soñamos.

En esto tienen mucho que decir las creencias: imagina una niña cuya naturaleza es dócil, sensible y conciliadora, que ama a mucho a sus padres (como todos los niños) y que tiene unos padres inflexibles, de carácter muy fuerte, y cuya principal preocupación es que todo salga perfecto. 

¿Cuál será el universo interno en el que se desarrollará esta niña? ¿Qué margen de error sentirá que tiene? ¿Cuál será su mayor preocupación a la hora de actuar, si quiere que sus padres aprueben su conducta y no se enfaden con ella?

Los niños por naturaleza se autoexpresan adecuadamente y saben hacer notar sus necesidades desde muy pequeños. De manera que si un niño empieza a sentir que tiene que esforzarse para ser aprobado, hay una tensión de fuerzas excesivo entre el universo de los padres, y el suyo.

Ahora sigamos con el ejemplo de la niña dócil, sensible y conciliadora del ejemplo. Imaginemos por ejemplo que sus padres son personas muy trabajadoras, muy responsables, y han estado toda la vida preocupados por ganar dinero y sacar adelante la familia. Una lucha difícil, dura, y con niveles sostenidos de estrés y de incertidumbre. Aquí… ¿Qué pasaría si la niña quisiera ser artista plástica, escritora o música? Según es el perfil que hemos trazado esto es una posibilidad pero… ¿cómo viviría internamente la posibilidad de decir a sus padres que siente una vocación que conlleva un gran nivel de incertidumbre en su desempeño?

Desde luego, bien pronto la niña escogerá una actividad que tranquilice a sus padres.

Y comenzará a construir una historia externa acorde a los requerimientos de su grupo… y una historia interna llena de frustración, tristeza e ira contenida.

Entonces imaginemos que decide estudiar Medicina, o Derecho. O Periodismo. Da igual lo que escoja:sentirá miedo a no valer.

Y este miedo será la expresión de dos cosas: primero de un intento profundo de intentar liberarse de un destino con el que no sintoniza para nada… y de un autocastigo inconsciente por haber traicionado el llamado de su verdadero destino.

Como siempre, esto no es nada más que un ejemplo, pero que sirve para ilustrar lo que quiero explicarte. Y lo que quiero explicarte es que el miedo a no valer, no es más que una creencia que se puede cambiar. Todas las personas valen. (Aunque desde luego no todas valen para lo mismo). Las creencias se pueden modificar fácilmente. En serio: muy fácilmente.

Pero hay un paso previo a modificar una creencia, que es el paso que te lleva a una mirada panorámica para reconocer el territorio en el que estás moviéndote. El miedo es un exceso de tensión entre dos o más fuerzas, y sólo hace falta reconocer lo que son estas fuerzas y hacia donde tiran, para que una comprensión nos permita dar el paso hacia el cambio.

Entonces, si hay un miedo que te inmoviliza, que no te permite ser tu misma, mira un poco hacia atrás. No tiene por qué ser algo de la infancia. Recuerda cuando fue la última etapa en la que ese miedo no estaba en tu vida. Recuerda cuando sentías que valías, que eras perfecta, que eras invencible… o simplemente que todo estaba bien. ¿Habría llegado tu miedo tan lejos si alguien hubiera dedicado algo de tiempo a verte tal como eres y te hubiera impulsado a dar pasos acordes a tu naturaleza?

Pienso que no.

No sabemos cuando empezó, pero sabemos que el miedo no vino contigo de fábrica porque de bebé llorabas, exigías y posiblemente te enfadabas libremente. 

El exceso de autoprotección llegó después… ¿cuándo?… no lo sé.

Pero lo que te puedo decir, porque eso sí lo sé, es que fue una decisión. Un compromiso quizás.

Y los compromisos (todos, sin excepción)se pueden romper.

Espero que quieras reflexionar sobre esto.

Por tu pleno bienestar.

Que tengas un feliz presente.

“Let food be your medicine” (Hippocrates) – Thyme

hh-thyme

Thyme has a powerful ability to kill off bacteria and viruses and should be taken at first signs of a cold or illness. It is a rich source of several essential vitamins such as vitamins A, E, C, K, B-complex and folic acid and it is also one of the best sources of calcium, iron, manganese, selenium, and potassium. Thyme contains antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, carminative, diaphoretic, and expectorant properties which supports healing throughout the entire body.

Thyme is vital to help stimulate memory, prevent nightmares and melancholy, ease headache and muscle tension, soothe coughs, relieve fevers, and fight colds and infections. It also contains a compound called carvacrol which is an excellent natural tranquilizer and has a tonic effect on the entire nervous system. Thyme is a good source of pyridoxine which is known to play an important role in manufacturing GABA levels in the brain, aid in regulating sleep patterns, and benefit neurotransmitter function in the brain. GABA is also one of the best natural defenses against stress damage.

Thyme is a great purifying herb for the digestive tract and has been found to destroy certain intestinal hookworms and roundworms and aid in the digestion of rich or fatty foods. Thyme has some of the highest antioxidant levels among herbs. It is packed with bioflavonoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and naringenin which have all been shown to have powerful effects on eliminating free-radicals and other disease producing substances from the body.

Thyme oil has been used as a local antiseptic and antimicrobial since ancient times and is highly beneficial in supporting the immune system and for easing fatigue and weakness after illness. Thyme oil can also help to stop hair loss by improving blood flow to the scalp and feeding the roots of the hair. Consider using more fresh thyme in your food by adding it to soups, salads, guacamole, vegetables, potatoes, rice, etc… Fresh thyme also makes a powerful and very healing tea. Steep a handful of fresh sprigs in hot water for at least 10 minutes or it can be soaked overnight in a pitcher of water and sipped throughout the day. Add honey or lemon, if desired.

«Let your food be your medicine» (Hippocrates) – Cranberries

Bowl-of-Cranberries

Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, A, and beta carotene. They are packed with antioxidants and rate very high on the ORAC scale making it an ideal anti-aging and memory enhancing food. Cranberries have amazing anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and are a vital food and supplement for anyone struggling with any chronic illness or disease. They are known to significantly boost the immune system and have a natural antibiotic effect in the body.

Cranberries contain one of nature’s most potent vasodilators which opens up congested bronchial tubes and pathways making it essential for healing any respiratory condition. Cranberries are very high in tannic acids which gives them there powerful ability to protect and heal urinary tract, bladder, and kidney infections. These tannic acids are made up of compounds called proanthocyanidins which essentially coats the infection forming bacteria, such as E.coli and H.Pylori, with a slick cover and prevents them from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract and digestive tract.

Since the bacteria are unable to attach themselves to anything they are flushed out of the system and unable to cause any infection or harm. This anti-adhesion ability also help to prevent stomach ulcers, gum disease, and cavities. This ability also helps to prevent cardiovascular disease by stopping cholesterol plaque formation in the heart and blood vessels and by lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the blood.

Cranberry juice has also been shown to increase the desirable “friendly” bacteria in the digestive tract which benefits digestive disorders such as IBS, colitis, gastritis, indigestion, gas, bloating, and constipation. Cranberry juice has also been known to help treat diaper rash by reducing pH levels in the diaper and thereby reducing irritation. Native Americans commonly ate their cranberries simmered in honey or maple syrup or sun-dried and mixed with nuts to last them through the winter months.

Fresh cranberries can be added to salads, smoothies, fresh juices, and fruit and nut salads or cooked down into the classic cranberry sauce. Sun-dried cranberries are an excellent addition to trail mixes, hot or cold breakfast cereals, grain & vegetables dishes, and wholesome baked goods. Sun-dried cranberries can also be made into a medicinal tea by soaking in water overnight. Pure cranberry juice can be taken straight or mixed with spring water, coconut water, or apple or grape juice to receive its healing benefits. Cranberry extracts can also be found in capsule and tincture form online and in your local health food store for year-round use.

CONSEJOS PARA DESINTOXICAR Y LIMPIAR NUESTRO ORGANISMO

Pues como dice el refrán: «lo prometido es deuda» ( ya les había prometido este post) y «vale más prevernir que curar«, asi que previniedo los efectos del fin de semana, hoy voy a entrar un poco más en detalle sobre la importancia de del desintoxicar nuestro cuerpo.

Detox

Razones por las cuales necesitamos  limpiar

  • Por consumir alimentos cargados de tóxicos, químicos, azúcares, harinas refinadas, alimentos de origen animal que están cargados de toxinas.
  • Por  llevar una vida sedentaria
  • Por la elevada contaminación ambiental.
  • Debido al estrés, preocupaciones y estados emocionales que afectan a nuestro cuerpo físico

Todo esto hace que acumulemos toxinas en nuestro cuerpo, debilitándolo y dañando nuestros órganos . Es por eso que aparecen enfermedades, porque estamos expulsando a través de ellas lo que a nuestro cuerpo le sobra. Cansancio, fatiga, problemas de piel, dolores de estómago… Debemos aprender a interpretar las señales de alerta que nos da nuestro cuerpo, porque a largo plazo pueden derivar en enfermedades  cardiovasculares, diabetes o incluso cáncer.

Una dieta crudivegana,  no sólo nos está depurando , sino que al estar libre de toxinas permite que nuestro cuerpo se regenere y regule más rápidamente , recuperando la salud y el equilibrio y previniendo enfermedades.

Hacer un par de días de detox, funciona, pero si luego volvemos a ingerir tóxicos, volvemos a la misma situación. Se trata no sólo de alimentarnos sino de  tomar conciencia y aprender a llevar un modo  de vida  saludable cada día.

¿Cómo limpiar nuestro organismo?

  • Elimina los productos de origen animal: están cargados de toxinas, aditivos, hormonas, antibióticos, excesivas proteínas, grasa y colesterol. Si cambiamos el pescado, la carne, leche, huevo, pollo y demás productos por alimentos de origen vegetal bajos en grasa  empezamos a depurarnos, a eliminar grasa y recuperar nuestra salud.
  • Fuera sustancias estimulantes, químicos y alimentos  tratados (café, té negro, refrescos cola, bebidas energizantes, etc) .
  • Tabaco
  • Alcohol
  • Bebidas gaseosas
  • Comida envasada cargada con aditivos, conservantes, sabores artificiales, colorantes, hormonas…
  • Soja, maíz y demás productos transgénicos.
  • Sal y azúcar refinada.
  • Harinas refinadas , incluye pasta, pan, galletas que no sean con cereales 100% integrales.
  • Gluten.
  • Chocolate.
  • Aceites  refinados
  • Basa tu alimentación, en fruta y verdura cruda. Importantísimo, alta en carbohidratos y baja en grasa y proteínas.  No hace falta que llegues al 100% crudo, puedes empezar por el 50% e ir subiendo hasta el 70%.  Como platos cocinados, las  legumbres y cereles integrales son la ópcion más saludable. Los  más recomendable  son el mijo, quinoa, trigo sarraceno y amaranto. Los vegetales crudos y ecológicos mantienen intactas sus propiedades, vitaminas, minerales, fibra, enzimas, antioxidantes y fitonutrientes. Nos  dan toda la energía que necesitamos y mantiene nuestro cuerpo limpio y saludable, tanto a nivel celular como nuestra sangre. Por lo tanto  previene enfermedades. Además recuperas tu peso ideal , ya que eliminas la grasa acumulada. Al desintoxicar tu cuerpo y estar saludable, ganas claridad mental y bienestar emocional. Activas tu consciencia , conectas con tu interior  y con el mundo. Y contribuyes a reducir el impacto medioambiental consumiendo alimentos orgánicos.
  • Haz ejercicio. Una dieta saludable acompañada de ejercicio es la combinación perfecta para elimienar toxinas, perder peso, fortalecer músculos, órganos,  sistema circulatorio y respiratorio  y digestivo. Previene el estrés y  nos hace estar más  relajados y felices.
  • Bebe mucha agua. 2 o 3 litros diarios.  Cuando tienes una alimentación 100% raw o crudivegana, bebes menos agua porque ya estás ingiriendo la naturalmente presente en la fruta y verdura
  • Descansa y duerme suficientes horas. Para permitir a tu cuerpo el proceso de restauración y que pueda recuperar energía, fuerza y  eliminar toxinas.
  • Y muy importante,  practica actividades que te hagan liberar tensiones y relajarte, conectar contigo y con los demás, como escuchar música, quedar con tus amigos, bailar, abrazar, respirar aire puro, cantar, gritar, sonreir, dar sin esperar nada a cambio, conocer gente diferente, probar cosas nuevas. El mejor sistema inmunológico consiste en ser feliz y controlar nuestra mente, sin lugar a dudas.

detox

Cuando somentes a tu cuerpo a un proceso de limpieza, a veces puedes surgir efectos secundarios, como malestar general, vómitos, diarreaas, algún dolor, granos en la cara… Es normal, tu cuerpo tiene que echar todas las toxinas. La enfermedad y los dolores son procesos de restauración y destoxicación de nuestro organismos. Lo mejor es dar las gracias y aceptar que nos estamos liberando de algo que nos sobra.

Espero que sean suficientes razones, como para que poco a poco puedan ir cambiando los hábitos. Sé que a priori puede parecer un cambio radical, y muy dificil, pero cuando observen que a medida que se eliminan los tóxicos y alimentos perjudiciales de sus dietas, se empezarán a sentir mejor, realmente compensa el esfuerzo por el resultado obtenido. Hay un mundo de posibilidades, colores, sabores, sensaciones y texturas en la alimentación saludable y conciente, es sólo animarse a descubrirlos!

Toxinas & Enfermedad. Cómo Empezar Una Depuración Corporal.

toxinas

Dedicado gratamente a mis lectores y pacientes.

Desde hace un tiempo, en consulta, llego a la misma conclusión con mis pacientes una y otra vez: Intoxicación. Si, señoras y señores, le presento aqui a la «reina de las enfermedades». Si piensan que estoy exagerando, no, no lo estoy, les sorprendería el grado de toxicidad al que  sometemos a nuestro cuerpo a diario y gracias a ella y a la fata de «limpieza» , termina siendo la principal causa de la mayoría de las enfermedades, y ya deja de ser casualidad, que cuando los pacientes cambian sus hábitos nutricionales (alimentación y nutrición no son lo mismo) no hay quien no revierta su cuadro o como mínimo no mejore notablemente.

Fibromialgia, problemas de sobrepeso, artritis, reuma, artrosis, problema en los meñiscos, ligamentos, contracturas crónicas, migranias, alergias, diabetes, infertilidad, estreñimiento, cancer, colon irritable, psoriasis, sirrosis, problemas de los riñones, pancreas, vesicula, bazo, hígado, pesadez estomacal, gastritis, pirosis, ulcera … la lista sigue y sigue. No soy la única profesional que observa estos resultados, por el contrario, cada vez son más (incluso  dentro del mundo de la medicina alópata más recalcitrante) ya se está tratando.  Como esto está empezando a hacer un poco de ruido, vamos a ver de qué se trata, trataré de exponer aqui, de manera práctica y sintética, lo que todos podemos hacer por mejorar nuestra salud.

Para desintoxicar nuestro organismo …

Aqui van algunos simples nuevos hábitos saludables, para que los puedan incorporar a la vida diaria:

  • No intoxicar:  eliminar todos los alimentos que producen toxinas, son acidificantes, y por tanto intoxican nuestro organismo. Se que puede sonar obvio, pero todas las salsas preparadas (industriales) golosinas, snacks, alimentos con conservantes, colorantes y saborizantes sintéticos también entran en esta categoría.
  • Limpiar: utilizando todo lo que está en la naturaleza que pudiera realizar una actividad “ barredora” que limpian nuestros órganos emuntorios
  • Incorporar aquellos alimento que nuestro organismo reconoce como su alimentación fisiológica (teniendo en cuenta los principios del Dr Otto Heinrich Warburg), después de haber pasado por una readaptación a esta nueva alimentación del organismo con una dieta de transición evitando así una crisis de desintoxicación.

Productos tóxicos

Y esta es la lista de los productos  tóxicos que entrego a cada persona que me pregunta qué comer a partir de ahora.

*Esta es una lista genérica, y por ello no comprende cada enfermedad o sintomatólogia en particular, sin embargo, esto último, los pacientes lo obtienen siempre en consulta.

  • ALIMENTOS QUE ACIDIFICAN: Todos los refinados, aceites que no sean de primera prensada en frío y ecológicos, vinagres (en su mayoría, sobre todo los industriales) sal refinada, azúcar blanca refinada, (la moreno tampoco, es teñida) productos enlatados ni con conservantes (E’s) Carne (toda la proteína animal) Leche y sus derivados (leche, queso yogourt) Todas las grasas trans (embutidos) Ni las margarinas vegetales, son peores que la mantequilla.
  • ALIMENTOS QUE NOS ENFERMAN: El glúten (seitán, trigo) , la soja, cereales industriales. Los alimentos con pesticidas.

Hábitos tóxicos

Lo que no deberíamos de hacer por tener consecuencias tóxicas:

  • Envolver con papel aluminio
  • Meter en la nevera botellas de plástico, el plástico no puede estar ni frío ni caliente sino contamina el alimento con los bisfenoles, tóxicos para nosotros. Hay botellas sin BPA ni bifenoles
  • No usar el microondas.

Alimentos alcalinos

Tienen que ser la base de nuestra alimentación:

  • Todas las frutas y verduras.
  • Semillas (chía lino,sésamo)
  • Frutos secos almendras, avellanas, nueces (no más de un puñado con el puño cerrado y un solo fruto, no mezclarlos. Dejarlos la noche anterior a su consumición en agua para que se activen ya que aumenten sus nutrientes.
  • Germinados
  • Algas

 En el próximo post, les deajaré algunos tips de cómo y qué se puede hacer para desintoxicar nuestro cuerpo.

Un Batido Para Cada Día del Mes…

Detox

Llega la primavera, el verano o incluso por qué no, en pleno invierno … las propiedades y beneficios que nos aportan las frutas y verduras frescas por la mañana sobre todo, constituye uno de los primeros hábitos saludables en nuestra «educación alimenticia».  Es que después de estar 8 horas sin comer, por la mañana, lo que estamos haciendo es rompiendo un ayuno, de ahí proviene la palabra desayunar, o sea «salir del ayuno». Por eso, es importante, contrario a lo que se suele creer, no atiborrarnos de comida, ni ingerir alimentos pesados, irritantes o ácidos para el cuerpo cuando nos levantamos, como por ejemplo el café, té negro, leche, queso, huevos, carne, etc. Estos son alimentos ácidos, irritantes y pesados para un organismo en ayunas, además, suelen  bajarnos los índices de vitaminas que tenemos y desmineralizarnos, contrario a la creencia popular, que indica que es la comida más importante del día, siendo la comida principal el almuerzo.

De todas maneras, los batidos siempre son bienvenidos para el cuerpo, son frescos, ligeros y de rápida absorción, energizántes oxigenantes y revitalizantes y como plus, llenos de vitaminas y minerales.

Aqui les dejo una lista con 31 recetas, un batido para cada día del mes. Ahora a practicarlas! Que las disfruten!

*Nota: Muchos están hechos con coco, pero puede sustituirse el coco por cualquier leche vegetal (orgánica) o agua, y añadir (opcional) coco rayado o leche de coco envasada (que aunque no es lo mismo pero igual sirve…)

Ahora vosotros a practicarlas. Habéis visto que de posibilidades eh? ¡Que las disfrutéis!

GMO Yes Or No, Dr. Oz’s Moment Of Truth

droz

Dr. Oz is no stranger to public controversy concerning his comments on GMO food, pesticides and the biotech industry. It appears that he is now the center of his biggest challenge yet. Having been adored by the mainstream since his show began in 2009, Dr. Oz is now facing his biggest attack to date. Days after running the now viral episode essentially denouncing Monsanto’s flagship product Glyphosate, a group of ten doctors are now publicly demanding Dr. Oz resign from a senior staff position he holds at Columbia University. However it has since been discovered that of these doctors, one has been convicted of medical fraud and over half have connections to The American Council on Science and Health, a discredited industry front group for the pesticide and herbicide industry.

Dr. Oz’s Moment Of Truth

Shortly after the call for Dr. Oz to step down from Columbia University, Dr. Oz released this statement on his Facebook page:

I bring the public information that will help them on their path to be their best selves. We provide multiple points of view, including mine which is offered without conflict of interest. That doesn’t sit well with certain agendas which distort the facts. For example, I do not claim that GMO foods are dangerous, but believe that they should be labeled like they are in most countries around the world. I will address this on the show next week.

To be fair, Dr. Oz usually plays it safe on the GMO issue by riding the fence, yet recently he has appeared to surrender to the evidence. He wrapped up his latest “Glyphosate” episode with a final thought commentary stating:

This is a big debate everyone. Folks who make these products say ‘we need more data before you can make that statement (glyphosate is a possible carcinogen).’ I think it’s the opposite. Not enough research doesn’t mean its safe; it means we actually don’t know! And it’s upon us; it’s our obligation to figure it out before we start releasing it and exposing kids and others.

Back in 2012, Dr. Oz tackled the topic of GMO’s on his show and concluded the episode with this final thought:

Let me give you my bottom line if I can. You vote with your pocketbook three times a day. You can choose to buy foods with GMO’s or without them. And so, instead of waiting for data to derive your decision, you are going to have to decide the safest foods for your family on your own. Labels do exist on some products, choose them for now and as the debate follow along I think its worth keep your head in the game because it is going to be a quick-moving field.”

Since 2012, the public has followed Dr. Oz’s advice by voting with their pocketbooks causing Monsanto’s stock price to continually plummet. There is now a clear demand for non-GMO food in stores that exceed the demand for organic products. Adding to the momentum, the public witnessed the largest single worldwide protest against a company and their products in the 2014 March Against Monsanto. Finally, the public no longer has to wait for “data to derive your decision” thanks to the World Health Organization classifying glyphosate at a 2A carcinogen in the same category as HIV and HPV. Doctors, food manufacturers and individuals all hear the starting gun in the race away from biotech and are now inundating independent lab facilities to test their products, their patients, and themselves for traces of the possible carcinogen.

It appears Doctor Oz now faces the largest “moment of truth” of his career as a doctor and a public figure. The wiggle room is gone, having been replaced by a collective worldwide voice, relentless daily pocketbook voting, and data to further drive the final nail into the sealed GMO coffin. Commanding the increasingly educated audience Doctor Oz has patiently built, coupled with now megaviral attention, he stands on the precipice of greatness. A rare opportunity to be the voice of a generation that has been waiting for a mainstream public figure with integrity to say what we all already know.

No Double Standard for Oz

In closing, here is a short list of public figures that have far exceeded Dr. Oz in making, what his attackers call “disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine” in their public statements and actions. To date, none have been called out on their statements and actions by the mainstream press.

Bill Maher: “Obama said in 2007 we would label genetically modified foods which, by the way, Europe has this, China!….China which puts lead in baby food, or some S#@t like this. But we can’t have that in America; even though nine out of ten Americans would like foods to at least be labeled so at least we know they’re frankenfoods.”

Seema Mather of Medical Watch news: “Mercury based preservatives in vaccines may be associated with improved behavior and mental performance.”

Ann Coulter, shortly after the Fukushima multiple reactor meltdowns, the largest in nuclear disaster in history:
There’s a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the governments says are the minimum amounts you should be exposed to, are actually good for you and reduce cases of cancer.

Madeleine Albright in a 60 minutes interview regarding the death toll of U.S. sanctions on  Iraq:
60 Minutes Interviewer: We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean that’s more than died in Hiroshima. Is the price worth it?
Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.

Dr. Nancy SnydermanLook this is one time, forget the conspiracy, listen to our government agencies, these guys are telling the truth. You know, there’s no conspiracy here folks, just get your damn vaccine!”
*Note: Shortly after this interview Dr. Synderman broke the government mandated quarantine she was placed under during the 2014 Ebola outbreak to purchase a bowl of soup from a local restaurant.

The World’s Most Credible Medical Journal Outlines Bad News For Monsanto

danger

Given the restrictions and the level of control placed upon the disclosure of information when it comes to “credible” medical studies, it seems surprising that glyphosate, the most commonly used herbicide on the planet, has been officially deemed a dangerous health hazard to human beings by the mainstream health community.

“Glyphosate currently has the highest global production volume of all herbicides. The largest use worldwide is in agriculture. The agricultural use of glyphosate has increased sharply since the development of crops that have been genetically modified to make them resistant to glyphosate. Glyphosate is also used in forestry, urban, and home applications. Glyphosate has been detected in the air during spraying, in water, and in food. The general population is exposed primarily through residence near sprayed areas, home use, and diet. and the level that has been observed is generally low.”  (source)

A recently published study in what is considered to be one of the most (if not the most) credible medical journals of today, The Lancet Oncology, determined that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s RoundUp pesticide, is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” The study was published earlier this month, and was conducted by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer. It analyzed data from studies that have been conducted on the chemical for the past couple of decades. (source)

“There is convincing evidence that glyphosate also can cause cancer in laboratory animals. On the basis of tumours in mice, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) originally classified glyphosate as possibly carcinogenic to humans. A US EPA report and several more recent positive results conclude that there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. Glyphosate also caused DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells, although it gave negative results in tests using bacteria. One study in community residents reported increases in blood markers of chromosomal damage (micronuclei) after glyphosate formulations were sprayed nearby.” (source)

It’s the beginning of 2015, and after decades of research and warnings from hundreds of scientists all around the globe, why has it taken so long to officially acknowledge (in North America) that glyphosate is harmful? Billions of pounds of this stuff is sprayed every single year, and as mentioned above, it is commonly detected in air samples, water samples, in our food, and even in our urine. So again, why the delay?

Many professionals today have expressed their concern regarding the delay and manipulation of medical research. Despite the fact that these types of facts have been published for a number of years, Monsanto still maintains that they are safe, and a major health organization like the WHO, you would think, would have acknowledged the dangers associated with these herbicides many years ago.

As Dr. Marcia Angell (physician, author, former editor in chief of the NEJM) puts it, “It’s just not possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgement of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.” Others point to the “revolving door” between Monsanto, the EPA, and the FDA, and the fact that corporations (like Monsanto) have their hand in dictating governmental policy. Regardless, the information is out there and it’s quite clear that glyphosate is harmful. (source)

What’s worse, the genetically modified crops have become even more resistant to their killers, resulting in increased use of herbicides each year and even providing Monsanto the justification it needs to produce newer and more deadly chemical mixes to combat the problem.

Monsanto’s Response

Monsanto is not at all happy about the study and they are requesting a retraction. In a press release, Chief Technology Officer Dr. Robb Fraley said that Monsanto is “outraged” and that “this conclusion is inconsistent with the decades of ongoing safety reviews by the leading regulatory authorities around the world that have concluded that all labeled uses of glyphosate are safe for human health.” (source)

More Research

The list of studies outlining the dangers associated with this herbicide is enormous, and explains exactly why multiple countries around the globe forbid its use. For example, Sri Lanka decided to completely ban glyphosate from their country out of concern that the chemical may be linked to a fatal kidney disease that could kill agricultural workers.

A new study that was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health suggests that Roundup, or glyphosate, becomes highly toxic to the kidney once mixed with “hard” water or metals like cadmium and arsenic. These metals often exist naturally in the soil or are added via the fertilizer.(source)(source)

“An investigation carried out by medical specialists and scientists has revealed that kidney disease was mainly caused by glyphosate. President Mahinda Rajapaksa has ordered the immediate removal of glyphosate from the local market soon after he was told of the contents of the report.” (source)

You can read more about that here.

Here is a report by multiple researchers, scientists, and professors regarding glyphosate and birth defects. Here is the conclusion they came to:

“Our examination of the evidence leads us to the conclusion that the current approval of glyphosate and Roundup is deeply flawed and unreliable. In this report, we examine the industry studies and regulatory documents that led to the approval of glyphosate. We show that industry and regulators knew as long ago as the 1980′s and 1990′s that glyphosate causes malformation, but that information was not made public. We demonstrate how EU regulators reasoned their way from clear evidence of glyphosate’s teratogenicity in industry’s own studies to a conclusion that minimized these findings in the EU Commission’s final review report.”

It’s also important to note that much research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, as well as other important independent research, has linked (using the Bradford Hill Criteria, fairly strong in my opinion) glyphosate to autism, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and more. (source)(source) (Please do your research, there are many sources for this claim, I’ve provided a few here and within the articles that are linked within this article)

A report coming out of Argentina explains how deaths from cancerous tumors have as much as doubled in areas where genetically modified (GM) crops are grown and agro-chemicals are used. You can read more about that and access the report here.

“There is evidence of high levels of genetic damage in people of Marcos Juarez, which may result from unintentional exposure to pesticides. ” – Fernando Manas, PhD National University of Rio Cuarto (source)

A study was published in November 2012 in the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology, titled Long Term Toxicity of Roundup Herbicide and a Roundup-Tolerant genetically modified maize, by Gilles-Eric Seralini and his team of researchers at France’s Caen University. It was a very significant study that made a lot of noise worldwide, the first of its kind under controlled conditions that examined the possible effects of a GMO maize diet treated with Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide. After going through such a rigorous review process and remaining published for a long time, the study was retracted. Hundreds of scientists around the world condemned the retraction, and the study was then republished, updated, and all criticisms were answered.

The chronic toxicity study examined the health impacts on rats of eating  commercialized genetically modified (GM) maize, alongside Monsanto’s NK603 glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup.

The study found severe liver and kidney damage, as well as hormonal disturbances, in rats fed with GM maize in conjunction with low levels of Roundup – levels that were below those permitted in most drinking water across Europe. Results also indicated high rates of large tumors and mortality in most treatment groups.

You can read more about this story, and access the studies here.  And as you can see from the quote taken from the WHO/The Lancet, multiple studies in animal models have shown these dangers, as well as multiple studies using human cells. There is obviously cause for concern here.

Children today are sicker than they were a generation ago. From childhood cancers to autism, birth defects and asthma, a wide range of childhood diseases and disorders are on the rise. Our assessment of the latest science leaves little room for doubt; pesticides are one key driver of this sobering trend.” October 2012 report by Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) (source)(source)

There is a lot of information to support these claims, so hopefully this gets you off to a good start if you are interested in doing more research.

9 Reasons To Eat Cucumber Every Day

Health-Benefits-of-Cucumber

Cucumber. Even its name sounds cool, crisp, and refreshing! Not only are cucumbers delicious and nutritious, they are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, such as: vitamin K and C, some B vitamins, copper, potassium, and manganese, all of which can help revitalize your health! This squash is definitely something you want to incorporate into your diet as much as possible. You won’t regret it.

9 (Of Many) Amazing Benefits Of Cucumbers

 1. Brain Protection

Cucumbers contain an anti-inflammatory flavonal called fistein that has been shown to play a crucial role in promoting brain health. It is known to improve memory and even protect your nerve cells from declining due to aging, and fisetin has also been found to prevent learning and memory impairments in mice with alzheimer’s disease. (1)

 2. Amazing Antioxidant Properties

Cucumbers are loaded with antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene. They also contain antioxidant flavonoids like quercetin, apigenin, luteolin, and kaempferol. (2) Quercetin is an antioxidant that has been shown to prevent histamine release, making it a natural antihistamine. Kaempferol can help fight cancer and lower your risk of heart disease.

 3. Reduce Inflammation

Cucumbers can literally help “cool” the inflammatory response system in your body. Some studies conducted on animals found that cucumber extract helps to reduce unwanted inflammation partially by inhibiting activity or pro-inflammatory enzymes. (3)

 4. Cancer Risk Reduction

Cucumbers contain polyphenols called lignans, which can help lower your risk of various cancers such as breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate. (4) They also contain phytonutrients called cucurbitacins (great name) which also have anti-cancer properties! (5)

 5. Digestive Assistant

Cucumbers are loaded with fiber and water, two of the most essential elements that are needed for optimal digestive health. Cucumbers may help to raise the stomach pH, which can assist with symptoms of acid reflux. Also, the skin on cucumbers contains insoluble fiber, which can add bulk to your stool, assisting food to move through your digestive tract quickly and thereby promoting healthy elimination.

 6. Freshen Your Breath

If your breath is a little on the stinky side, you can freshen it up by placing a slice of cucumber on the roof of your mouth. This will help help rid your mouth of odor-causing bacteria. According to Ayurveda, eating cucumbers can also help to release any excess heat in your stomach, which is believed to be a primary cause of bad breath.

 7. Stress Management

Cucumbers contain an assortment of B vitamins including vitamin B1, B5, and B7. B vitamins are known to help ease anxiety and reduce the damaging effects of stress.

 8. Healthy Weight Management

Cucumbers are extremely low in calories, but extremely high in nutrients, so they make a filling and healthy snack. When cucumbers are digesting they dissolve into a gel-like texture which helps to slow down digestion, helping you feel full for longer. This is why fiber rich foods are great for weight management.

 9. Heart Health

Because cucumbers contain potassium, they can assist with lowering blood pressure. Potassium is an electrolyte, and its functions assist with interacting with sodium to help control nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and heart function.

If these are not enough reasons to start eating more cucumbers, then I guess you must really not like them! Be sure to get organic when possible. You can enjoy slices of cucumber in your water, juice it with other veggies, add it to your salad, and just eat it straight up! Its great in the summer, but can definitely be enjoyed all year round. Enjoy!

Watch This New Film About Consciousness & Renewable Energy In A Time Of Transformation

Because’s so Much Important that You  Ever Thought, please, Check the Film.

Thank You.  #PlanetEartOurHome.

Screen Shot 2015-04-17 at 11.37.00

Renewable energy meets the evolution of consciousness in an exciting new documentary! With a special internet release in time for Earth Day, The Future of Energy film is coming off a North American and Australian tour, and was a featured film of New York Climate Week.

I recently watched a newly released documentary called The Future of Energy, a film that is as much about consciousness as it is about solar panels and wind turbines. I connected with Theo Badashi, co-writer and host of the film, for an exclusive Earth Week interview to ask him about the relationships between consciousness, energy, and community empowerment.

You can watch The Future of Energy free right here.

Adrian: When most people think of solar panels they don’t immediately think of the evolution of consciousness, yet your film speaks directly to that correlation. How did your team make those connections?

Theo: We’re deeply interested in understanding how consciousness evolves, and how new phases of evolution are expressed in our culture through the systems and technologies we create. Though we set out to tell a story of how renewable energy can help solve the climate crisis, a bigger story naturally emerged, as it became clear that renewable energy is a physical reflection of a larger shift that is occurring.

Adrian: A lot of people appear to be experiencing the shift in consciousness that your film describes. Share with us how you’re experiencing it.

Theo: The fundamental shift that we see is a transformation of our deeper sense of identity, in which individuals and communities are moving out of the old Egoic Self, and into what many call a Planetary or Biospheric Self. Technology—when used with intention—allows us to engage with people and beings all over the world, and from that people are developing empathy for other cultures, other species, even eco-systems themselves. We’re experiencing a deeper connection with this delicate Web of Life, and creating societies in which the sacredness of all beings is at the center of our decisions and actions. This shift in identity transcends politics, culture, and spiritual beliefs. It appears to be a fundamental evolutionary impulse that is now coming into a new phase of existence.

Adrian: The film places social and ecological justice at the heart of this global shift. With so much concern about racial oppression and economic inequality in America and around the world, what role does renewable energy play in actually addressing some of these problems?

Theo: Ecologist Joanna Macy, who we feature in the film, refers to our current era as the time of the Great Turning, in which we move away from systems based upon oppression and death, to systems based upon justice, abundance, and life. Our entire economic system in America was founded upon the oppression of African Americans and Indigenous peoples, and we see that same oppressive consciousness imbedded within the currently dominant energy regimes. For a genuine revolution of consciousness to occur, it’s clear to us that it has to be founded on restorative healing, honesty, democracy, and community empowerment. Our film aims at showing how this new energy revolution is doing just that.

Adrian: Last question: Can you offer advice to those of us in the consciousness community about how we can help create larger global change?

Theo: One way to further this shift is for the Conscious Evolutionaries of the world to step forward and tell a better story than the one told by Industrial Culture, by embracing our roles as Evolutionary Story Tellers. Climate psychologist Per Espen Stoknes, in his book What We Think About Global Warming, tells us that we have to create stories that simultaneously speak to the heart and the mind. The big mistake most climate educators make is to just lay out a bunch of facts and hope it scares people into action. Studies show that fearful facts actually shut people down and stop them from taking action. What we need is vision from the heart.

Our role as Evolutionaries is to tell a New Story about the world we are creating: a story so beautiful that we wake up each day excited to build it and share it. As cosmologist Brian Swimme reminds us, this is a story 14 billion years in the making. It’s a story about the unfurling of Life and creativity, and about the awakening of a species to its evolutionary potentials. The more we share this story, the more this vision comes to life.
