Agriculture produces money, not food.

Permaculture is the growing philosophy that produces healthy food in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Try Googling 'Permaculture" or go to www.lovelighthealing.co.nz/permaculture/htm.

To What else: You are correct in stating that too much of the "WRONG" type of ionic silver can build up in the body causing Argyria (bluing of the skin). The difference between Ionic silver and true colloidal silver is the protein size--ionic silver has larger particles that cause Argyria. True colloidal silver is particle size and can absorb safely into the blood stream and not build-up. I have been taking colloidal silver for a year now and I can assure you I am tan not blue !! I live in florida. The secret to anything good in life is doing your research before using it--I have spent literally hundreds of hours over the last year researching silver and you must make sure you purchase the best colloidal silver made--the meso process is the smallest particle size silver made and 2 companies sell it--colloids-for-life and purest colloids. You can go to WWW.silver-colloids.com and under publications read--the truth about silver proteins and it will explain everything that I have talked about. Just like everything else in life,people abuse and do not use products correctly and then blame the product. Also google silver uses on the internet and you will find silver is now used in swimming pool filters and appliance manufacturers are now starting to build washing machines with silver wash basins to kill germs. The military uses socks for the soldiers that have silver particles woven into them and all burn patients are given a sauve with silver in it ?? Amazing how the govern uses silver when it's convenient for them but will not admit to the medical world that it kills germs do to the impact on their pharm buddies who finance their positions. I take 2 tablespoons of silver a day (1 in morning & 1 at nite)by gargling with it for 6 minutes & then swallow-its like having a second immune system that gives your own immune system a break to build up which we all need. I am really amazed that Mercola.com does not talk more @ this product !!

Our Decrepit Food Factories

This is a good article and it gives credit once again to Dr. Max Gerson 1881-1959, who developed an alternative therapy for Cancer and most degenerative diseases with his special diet and supplements. Although Dr Gerson was censured for curing Cancer, his statements to a Senate subcommittee in 1946 suggested, the food we eat and the quality of soils it’s grown on contribute to our illness as man continues to depend on chemicals and other un-natural means to grow and process food. Dr. Gerson proved the relation of diet with natural foods is the only real cure for ill health. Unfortunately, he was poisoned after his pleas for a return to the production of wholesome agriculture and diet to reduce cancer and illness in humanity.

With industrial agriculture the loss of Biological Resilience is inevitable, due to the nature of man’s greed and belief he can produce better products than Nature can without man’s help.

The death of people due to antibiotic resistant bacteria will likely be our future news events as long as we allow chemical companies to control our food supplies, with their man-made biologically engineered strains of plants and seeds. The fact many of the plants contain pesticides and other bacteria to destroy insects, the intelligence of these scientists fail to realize Honeybees are insects, they also fail to realize there are other beneficial insects and organisms in the soil being destroyed with this new technology.

Check out vanishingbees.com for a great movie on this subject of the vanishing honeybees. From the 60 minutes segment on this topic awhile back, it seemed clear to me that the pesticide banned in Europe but not in the USA is a very likely culprit in the disorientation of the bees. There hasn't been a big enough outcry against this pesticide and its producer considering how serious an issue this is. It should be taken off the market until it can be proven safe, not the other way around, where it is allowed to remain in use until proven guilty. Another lopsided lobbyist-controlled government decision, no doubt....

I heard on a Coast to Coast interview that the issue with the honey bees is a result of bringing in bees from China. We have to start working with nature, not against it. Unfortunately, many of those who do not have to experience their own health consequences of such an ecological imbalance do not see the relevance of preserving it or making decisions based upon long-term benefit as opposed to short-term financial gain. Thank you for the links all.

I have been horrified by the abuse of the corporate food manufacturers. Years ago I was talking to farmers using terminator seeds and saw how they had to spray the seeds with chemicals before they would even start to grow. It is in complete disregard for nature. It makes sense that nature is fighting back, when we have treated her so horribly. Unfortunately it is now up to us to stop this. Europe fought against letting our GM foods into their continent and most people here aren't even aware of how this is even happening here. Why the media isn't giving us the truth about what we are doing to our land is unfathomable. Thank you for making these issues more widely known.

Here is a good video about what is happening to the bees if anyone wants to see that - http://www.vanishingbees.com/

We need to start speaking out loudly and in unison to demand change before the catastrophe sets in. The media pushes false alarms like bird flu instead of waking us up to real threats. They talked about the bee problem but they didn't sound the alarm bells in the same way. Shocking.

In Frankenstein the people banded together to go after the Monster that was terrorizing their village. When will the people of the world light their collective torches to stop the the monstrous corporations (Monsanto,Cargill, ConAgra, Coca Cola, Nestle, etc.) terrorizing humankind?

At the very least we could stop buying their products ... let them rot on the shelves.

Reference Jeffrey Smith (and his book): This is the most powerful comment I have EVER SEEN on GMO and its effects. Previously I had asked (myself), "What are the effects of consuming food developed with GMO components." (If little bugs can't eat it and survive, maybe we might get in trouble by eating it.) No one had ever seen any articles.. This video explains why, and the implications. I intend to get (and read) his book. In my imagination I would like to see MILLIONS of his books distributed by July 4, 2008. (Plenty of time BEFORE) the election.) I had suspected for years that the FDA was working against the public good; this video gave the specifics, confirming that it is that way and of how that worked and WHY.

My friends's 2 year old son was diagnosed with MRSA a few months ago. Thank god it was not the internal, normally fatal variety, but the kind that lives on skin. (What a sad statement, thank god it's the skin kind). He's 2 and was never in a hospital... he is not in daycare, how did he contract it, no one knows for certain. There are many problems, one of which is the doctors say it cannot be cured. Whenever he gets a bugbite (we live in Florida, so he often has bugbites) it develops into MRSA. To compound the problem, he has exzema (sp) which means he cannot use bug repellent. The exzema also makes the MRSA worse. The fact that a 2 year old contracted MRSA is disheartening, to say the least. THe fact that over-use of antibioics developed MRSA is troubling, but worse, they treat him with anti-biotics constantly to deal with the MRSA. The anti-biotics make the exzema worse... it's a vicious cycle.

I have been researching natural remedies for MRSA, but when I think I've found something, I need to pay $40.00 for the information. Also disheartening, because I do not have a lot of money, neither does my friend, and I don't dare "waste" it on possible unreliable information. Does anybody out there have any advice/links/info they can share with me? MRSA is quite painful, (from what I have been told). I'd like to help him, but only if it's safe, and natural. (I've been working oon getting his mother to see how important diet is, and how bad sugar and McDonalds is, even in small quantities.... but haven't had much success... she did find out he is allergic to milk and sensitive to wheat)

No one is yet sure how or where this strain evolved, you say, however:

"Monsanto dumped their genetically engineered versions of four newly-created species of bacteria into European sewer systems. What arrogance. What a complete disregard for human kind. They gave birth to and then released their monster onto this world. First Europe. Now, America. A newly-published study confirms the European beginning of America's growing MRSA epidemic."

So many problems in our ecosystem. So many human-created things threatening our survival along with many other species. I always come back to wondering if the root of it all is overpopulation. It makes sense to me. It's so huge though, I may never figure out the root.

"p rofligate use of antibiotics on family farms is one possible cause"

Did you mean to say "factory" farms?

I saw this story on NPR already, and it's really sad. The only alternatives to the fisheries are in tanks on dry land, which drives up the cost of the fisheries.

Because the fisheries have economic incentive to stay where they are, probably the only way to remedy this problem is to get the government involved.

He makes a good point about monoculture. One of the principles of sustainable organic farming is diversity. Producing a range of crops on a rotational basis is good for the soil and helps control pests and diseases, reducing and eliminating the requirement for artificial control. A good organic system will include both a variety of crops and animals.

He does make sense, and presents a logical argument. Although I am not 100% sure if he has all his facts corrects he has more than most people.
