Safer is Better for You, Your Family and the Environment

Did you ever feel sick all of the time and you didn’t know what was wrong?  No matter how well you could take care of yourself by eating right and taking vitamins, you felt rotten all the time.

I felt like that and still do sometimes.  I worked in a small silk flower and tree company that used glue, spray paint and Styrofoam all of the time for 16 years.  I wasn’t there full time but it still took a toll.  I also cleaned my apartment with household cleaners like Lysol and bleach.  They are pretty potent household cleaners.

I left my the silk flower and tree company and still didn’t feel good.  I have trouble with depression, also, since I was a little child in kindergarten.  And I am not the only one with these problems.

Let me give you some facts: 

 

  • Today, children are exposed to thousands of substances in the environment, most of which have never been tested for toxicity to children.

Zesty Fruta Vida Summer Salad To Cool You Down

I just came up with something new, cool and delicious to eat on a hot summer day.  I needed to get really creative while living on a budget.  It was a hot day in July, and I didn’t feel like turning on the oven, or making  hot pots of food on the stove.  So I took out what I had left in my vegetable bin, freezer and something different and exciting that I had in my cupboard.

I want you to know you can make this Fruta Vida salad recipe more or less to taste.

Fruta Vida Salad:

10 large leaves of Romaine lettuce washed and dried.

2 carrots washed and sliced thin.

1 apple washed, cut up and sliced into small pieces.

 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese.

4 tortillas.  Each cut up into 1/8 pieces and arrange on cookie sheet.

2 oz. of soft tofu cut into small pieces.

1 packet of Fruta Vida mixed with 6 oz. of chilled water.

1/8 of a cup of Extra Lite Virgin Olive Oil.

1/8 of a cup of Red Wine Vinegar.

 Add ground black pepper to taste.

In your favorite large salad bowl, cut or tear up Romaine lettuce into small pieces.  Add sliced and cut carrots, apples and tofu.  Toss gently.  Add grated cheddar cheese on top of salad.  Preheat oven to bake at 400 degrees.  After the oven has preheated, put in the cookie sheet with tortillas cut into 1/8 triangle pieces and arranged so each piece is separate from the others, and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

When the tortilla are done and have cooled for a few minutes, arrange 1/8 pieces around the edge of the salad in the large bowl with the top of the triangle up.

Open the packet of Fruta Vida and mix 6 oz. of chilled water with 1/8 cup of extra light virgin olive oil and 1/8 cup of red wine vinegar.  Pepper to taste.  Shake or stir vigorously until well mixed.  Add to salad and toss.

Enjoy!

The Fifth Spiritual Law of Success

The Fifth Spiritual Law of Success is The Law of Intention and Desire which is based on the fact that energy and information exist everywhere or in the Quantum field, pure consciousness.  This is influenced by intention and desire.

For instance:  A flower, a rainbow,  a tree  and a human being are all made of the same elements.  We are constantly exchanging carbon with trees.  The only difference between us and the trees are the energy and information that are in the trees and people.  And we are all made of the same elements as the earth, stars, stardust and the universe.   

We can become aware that we are experiencing the quantum field through our thoughts, feelings and emotions.  We experience this through our physical body.   We can consciously change ourselves and change the environment.

 I am that.  You are that.  We are a tide, a whirlpool of energy.  Consciousness changes energy in the body that influences the environment.

Attention energizes.  Intention transforms or manifests the power behind desire.  It infinitely organizes power.   Intention is present moment awareness; conscious intent.

Intention serves as a catalyst to whatever we desire provided that we follow the other Spiritual Laws of Success and use it to benefit mankind and animal kind.  Time is movement of thought.  The power behind desire is intention or present moment of awareness.

Conscious Intent

To apply the Law of Intention and Desire we need to first, make a list of our desires.  Center yourself in silence.  Put yourself between a space of infinite flexibility.  Carry this list wherever you go and look at it in the morning and in the evening. 

Second, we need to release the list to the cosmic plan, the universe. 

Thirdly, we need to remain established in self referral, the true self.  This means you should not look at yourself through the eyes of others, but only look at yourself in the present moment.  Remain in the state of self referral, and keep your desires private.  Relinquish your attachment to the outcome of your desires.

Finally, let the universe hand the details of your intention.

Boost Your Immune System with Acai, Cupuacu, Yerba Mate, Cha de Bugre and Green Tea

I can tell you for a fact that if you need a good boost in your diet,  Acai, Cupuacu and Yerba Mate are going to do it for you. My immune system can get pretty run down, and I have little or no energy quite often. I have been supplementing my diet with Fruta Vida and Cheia Vida.

At age 55 there is more wear and tear on my body, and I still want to remain active. I take ballet classes 2 to 3 days a week, also, to give myself a body and a face lift. Fruta Vida and Cheia Vida which contains all of the ingredients that are in Fruta Vida plus Cha de Bugre and Green tea, helps my skin look healthier, fights off colds and flu, and of course gives me more energy to write my blogs, newsletters and my network marketers. If I didn’t drink Fruta Vida and Cheia Vida, I would not have the energy to do all of this. And of course, I need to take care of my 2 birds on a daily basis. These foods also perk up my mood.

As described in my blog about Acai, it is good for cancer prevention.  It is loaded with antioxidants with 30 times the anthocyanins than that of the red grape.  Anthocyanins prevent blood clots and improve circulation.  This is “very good for your heart” food.

Cupuacu and Yerba mate are also described on my blog and are rich in antioxidants as well as vitamins and minerals.  Both of these foods contain naturally reoccuring caffine that helps you get through long, tough days.  Don’t drink Fruta Vida or Cheia Vida late at night or you will have trouble sleeping.  The latest I drink it is late in the afternoon.  A study showed that yerba mate had a thermogenic effect on healthy individuals indicating a rise in fat burned off for energy.  Researchers concluded that yerba mate could be beneficial for weight loss.

I don’t have any blogs on Cha de Bugre or Green tea yet.  So I need to write one for each.  Cha de Bugre is known as Cafe Do Motto or  ”coffee of the woods” because it produces a red fruit similar to that of the coffee bean.  Cha de Bugre has the power to fight obesity because it contains caffine, potassium, allantoin and allantioc acid.  Allantoic acid is reported to reduce body fat and stimulate the growth of healthy tissue.  Cha de Bugre is also used as an appetite suppressent.  This has been done for hundreds of years.  Cha de Bugre gives one the sense of feeling full after a few bites of food with a satisfied feeling of fullness. This promotes smaller meals eaten more often throughout the day which nutritionists beleive is the best practice for sustained weightloss.  Cha de Bugre also has antiviral capabilities as well as having some toxic activity against cancer cells.

 Green tea contains polyphenols, chemicals with potent antioxidant properties.  Green tea contains one of the most potent catachins EGCG, Epigallocatechin Gallate, which has the ability to neutrilize unheathly cells without harming healthy tissue and support blood flow to the extremities.

Green tea and yerba mate are safer than the caffine in coffee because they do not produce muscle tension.

Shocking News About Your Microwave Oven. Microwaved Food May Be Killing You.

To me this is very shocking news!  I just learned that my microwave oven may be literally killing me and this is not new news either. 

This has been know by Russia since 1957 up until recently.   Their research has been carried out mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research, and then he was apparently prosecuted for doing so (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:42-3).

Microwaves distort the moleclular structure of the foods. They destroy much of the nutrients and cause many other problems with the immune system over a period of time. So, if you love your family, continue to read this article, and take a little more time to heat up your food on the stove or oven.  Then throw out your microwave oven!

There was a lawsuit in 1991 in Oklahoma, where a woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, but was then killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse “warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven.” 

Microwave cooking heats from the inside out and changes the molecular structure of the food.  This violent change forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the natural world.  This ruins your healthy blood cells causing haemoglobin levels to decrease, and can cause you to become anaemic.  This is after eating microwaved food for one month on a study done by Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

The Soviet Union banned the use of microwave ovens in 1976.  According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:42-3). 

Some of the effects caused by microwaved food observed by Russian forensic teams are:

1) Prepared meats in a microwave:
* d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent)
* Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds
* Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere
* Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal grains;
2)  Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and galactoside - elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this way;
3) Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods;
4)  Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in raw root vegetables;
5) Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood;
6)   Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred in the lymphatic system, causing degeneration of the immune system=s capacity to protect itself against cancerous growth;
7)  The unstable catabolism of micro-waved foods altered their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system;
*8) Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown of digestive and excretory system function;
9)  Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional value of all foods studied, particularly:
* A decrease in the bioavailability of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotrophics
* Destruction of the nutritional value of nucleoproteins in meats
* Lowering of the metabolic activity of alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides (all basic plant substances in fruits and vegetables)
* Marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods.

Standing in front of a microwave is also highly damaging to your health. We are made up of trillions of cells.

Microwaved plastic wraps emits 10,000 times the FDA’s limits of carcinogens (a substance or agent that causes cancer) plastic containers used to cooked in microwaves are included.

But why are microwave ovens being sold throughout the US for so many years?  The industry hid the truth because of world trade.  Doctors Hertal and Blanc wanted to publish their results of how dangerous microwave ovens are but were stopped by the the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electro-apparatuses for Households and Industry, known as FEA in 1992. They forced the President of the Court of Seftigen, Canton of Bern, to issue a “gag order” against Drs. Hertel and Blanc. In March 1993, Dr. Hertel was convicted for “interfering with commerce” and prohibited from further publishing his results.  Dr. Hertel fought this decision over the years.  This decision was reversed in a judgment delivered in Strasbourg, Austria, on August 25, 1998.

The Nazis invented the microwave oven. They were used in their mobile support operations, originally developed microwave “radiomissor” cooking ovens to be used for the invasion of Russia.

I just threw out my microwave oven after reading all of this!

So I am thinking of buying an AeroMatic Convection Oven which is made out of glass and/ or a toaster oven.

Lose Weight Eating Nutrient-Dense Food

If you are overweight it’s not all your fault. 

A lot of it has to do with what the government subsidises.  The processed foods are the most to blame, and it’s cheaper too.  90% of the food processed is junk food with high fat and salty snacks.  Most of the food marketed to children is junk food like the hamburger and coke at McDonald’s, sugar coated cereals and Ding Dong ,cake type, foods.  The food marketed to children is a great cause of obesity.  One is encouraging the eating of hamburgers and soft drinks at McDonald’s and the sugar coated cereals, chips and candy  of course, that you see on TV commercials.  The junk food industry is a multimillion dollar industry.  They are not going to stop marketing and making junk food.

Knowing the truth about what is causing you to be overwieght or obese can help you lose weight more efficiantly and effectively.   We need to change what we eat and how much we eat. 

One good answer is to eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and even to go vegetarian.  But the hard thing about going vegetarian is making sure you get enough of the correct amino acids to balance your body’s system. 

Eating pure, nutrient-dense, ready-to-eat whole foods is a solution to combat obesity.  These foods are filling , full of nutrition and balanced.  The Wholefood Farmacy makes it easy to diet by replacing processed foods with nutritious and filling foods.  The Wholefood Farmacy offers a couple of programs to follow for your benefit.

How a Pet Cockatoo Helped Stacey Get Cancer Free

I really love this story. I read it in my “Bird Talk Magazine” February 2008 edition. I loved it so much, that I want to tell everyone else about it. And this is a true story.

Stacey Felker from Florida wrote into “Bird Talk Magazine” about “The Power of Love”.   Moluccan Cockatoo

She is writing a short story about her bird Rocky. He is a Moluccan cockatoo like the bird in the picture, and he is 8 years old. She always wanted a cockatoo, and when she saw him, she had to have him.

Four years ago Stacey was diagnosed with cancer and was only given a year to live. Rocky helped her make it through all of the pain and sickness she went through, he was there for her and kept her going. He made Stacey get up in the mornings when she didn’t want to move, and he told her he loved her all the time. If it wasn’t for Rocky, Stacey says she would not have ever made it.

Stacey says she is cancer free now. She owes it all to Rocky. He is a very sweet and loving bird, and Stacey is very proud of him.

The Fourth Spiritual Law of Success

The Fourth Spiritual Law of Success is the Law of Least Effort.

We use least action in the Law of Least Effort.  Everything is effortless and done with ease.  There is no resistance. The principle of the Law of Least Effort is harmony and love.  Our actions are motivated by love.

We study natures intelligence to observe the Law of Least Effort.  Nature is held together by love.  Grass doesn’t try to grow.  Grass just grows.  Fish don’t try to swim. Fish just swim.  Flowers don’t try to bloom.  Flowers just bloom.  Birds don’t try to fly.  Birds just fly.  Babies don’t try to bubble with bliss.  Babies bubble with bliss.  The earth doesn’t try to hurdle through space.  The earth hurdles through space.  The nature of the sun is to shine.  The nature of human beings is to manifest dreams into physical form.

 Our actions motivated by love can be channeled to create any amount of wealth that you want.

Our body is a device to generate and store energy.  So seeking approval is not good.  It is a waste of energy.  Seeking money is a waste of energy.  It cuts off the flow of love and is wasteful.  Power and control are also a waste of energy.

Losing importance is the freeing of energy.  We need to be immune to criticism, have no fear to any challenge.  Our actions need to be motivated by love.

With this we can capture the power of the universe.
