In this Western culture of ours, the fact that what I have written has been posted tends to display me as an authority. In light of this strange cultural phenomenon, I wish to supply the discriminating reader and herbal learner with the appropriately insightful information to help him or her question me as an authority. Nothing that I say is presented by me as the Truth! I am merely disclosing my current truth. The purpose of this website and blog is to give all of you the needed information and tools to become knowledgeable and self reliant in regards to your health care.

By providing this information, I hope to help you develop a sense of awareness of your body, to know when a visit to a doctor’s office is necessary, and when the problem can be taken care of through natural healing. However, every individual has a share of wisdom to pass around. As your mind travels through the landscape of ideas I design and construct for you in this blog, please do not slip into a passive state of observation. In the light of your life experiences, measure and question my opinions and conclusions. I accept the risk of being proven wrong. If the fervor of my expression of these opinions ascends a street orator’s platform for a paragraph or two, allow me the social blunder; it is just an idiosyncrasy of my particular humanness. Do not fault me for my passion. Rather, make note of any disagreements you may have, get back to me, and point out the possible errors of my current beliefs. This way we can interact and communicate as co-seekers, and as co-members of a species that obviously has much to discover about itself and about the transcendent universe which it thrives.\r\n\r\nWe are with one another, co-creating a most magnificent and fascinating age. And our current creation is so very splendid precisely because each of us contributes a unique perspective. The term ‘expert’ is derived from the verbal root per meaning to try, to risk, to press forward. All of us do that with every new thought and experiences we create. Living a life qualifies each of us as an expert. We don’t have to agree with each other for things to work, merely appreciate one another and enjoy our differences. I can live with the fact that some people will always think of authors as experts, as long as it is duly noted that that universal characteristic of experts is that they normally disagree with one another.\r\n\r\nI really do hope that this blog will help to enlighten you with the needed knowledge to allow you to experience the wonders of natural healing. \r\n\r\nYours In Health,\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-14 alignnone\" title=\"juliasigs-web_small1\" src=\"http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/juliasigs-web_small1.jpg\" alt=\"juliasigs-web_small1\" width=\"251\" height=\"85\" /></div>\r\nHolistic Health Practitioner\r\n\r\n<address></address><address>Clinical Herbalist</address><address><a href=\"mailto:healing@thinkhealing.com\">hello@thinkhealing.com</a></address>','From the Author',0,'','publish','closed','closed','','from-the-author','','','2009-06-10 16:50:10','2009-06-10 22:50:10','',0,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?page_id=8',0,'page','',0),(9,2,'2009-06-10 16:44:41','2009-06-10 22:44:41','','From the Author',0,'','inherit','open','open','','8-revision','','','2009-06-10 16:44:41','2009-06-10 22:44:41','',8,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?p=9',0,'revision','',0),(10,2,'2009-06-10 16:51:13','2009-06-10 22:51:13','<h3 class=\"post-title\">To My Fellow Readers,</h3>\n<div class=\"post-body\">\n\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-13\" title=\"blogbookreduced\" src=\"http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/blogbookreduced.jpg\" alt=\"blogbookreduced\" width=\"166\" height=\"251\" />When an individual goes public, publishing a book, putting up a website or blog, discussing his or her experiences, beliefs and opinions, especially in the realms of health and personal power, it is important to give the reader a self disclosure of one’s bias.

They have been proven to contain a higher percentage of nutrients, have no pesticide residue, generally taste better and have positive benefits on the environment and the people who farm them.\r\nSo why don\'t more people eat organic? Most people feel it\'s too expensive. It costs an average of 30% more for organic goods than for conventionally grown products and not everyone has that extra money to spare. But by employing smart shopping tactics, you can save money and eat healthier. Here are a few tips and resources that we have found to help make eating organic a healthy and affordable choice.\r\n\r\nEvaluate the food products that you consume every day. Decide which products makeup the core of your diet. The next time you\'re in the supermarket, check out the natural foods section or visit your local natural foods market. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that organic milk does not cost significantly more than your normal brand and considering the huge health benefits (no hormones, pesticides or antibiotics), this is a great place to start - especially if you have children.</span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Buy in season and be flexible. </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Purchase what is in season and you can save big on your produce purchases. This time of year, enjoy warm, squash soups, fresh broccoli and artichokes. In the summer, the harvest is more bountiful and fresh fruit salad is easy to come by. Find out if your city has a local farmer\'s market. This is a great source for in-season, fresh produce that if not certified organic, may still be pesticide free since it does not travel far. Many cities have farmers\' markets year-round, rain or shine. </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Check for local food-coops as well. </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can become a member for very little money (sometimes as low as $15) and you then have access to all types of organic foods at great prices. Many times, if you can find about eight hours a month to donate at the co-op you can save an additional 10-12% off your purchases.\r\n</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be on the lookout for coupons. </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many natural products have coupons right on the package to be redeemed at checkout. Visit company websites. Many offer coupons and or incentives to try their products. Two great sites to look for coupons are stonyfieldfarms.com and mambosprouts.com. They both offer a great selection of food manufacturers with links to their home pages where you can request information and additional coupons such as Smucker Quality Beverages - the parent company for Santa Cruz Organics, After the Fall, and Knudsen brand juices. You can contact Smuckers at 530-899-5010 and request product coupons.</span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> </span></strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep an eye out for sales. </span></strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yep, organic products go on sale the same as anything else. This is where you can scoop up some great deals. For instance, last week at our local natural foods market, we noticed that some varieties of Santa Cruz Organic juices were on sale for $1.99 for a 32oz. bottle - no limit. We also found cans of organic soup for 99 cents - less than many of Progresso\'s varieties.

The most noticeable symptom is a persistent scratching of the scalp. Upon close inspection, parents may find tiny, grey colored insects crawling among the hairs; these are the adults. The lice eggs (nits) are white and adhere to the hair shafts close to the scalp. The nits have an incubation period of 7-14 days, so patience and strict adherence to recommended treatments is the key.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">How to Take Care of Lice and How to Get Rid of It?<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-68 alignright\" style=\"border: 6px solid yellow; margin: 6px;\" title=\"dreamstime_892807\" src=\"http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dreamstime_892807-234x300.jpg\" alt=\"dreamstime_892807\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" /></span></strong></span>\r\n\r\nIf the child attends school or day-care, a set of treatment guidelines will be required to eliminate all lice and eggs from the child before he or she can return to school. This usually involves washing the child\'s head with a special shampoo for head lice (either over-the-counter or prescription) and combing out all the nits with a fine-toothed comb.\r\nIn addition, all clothing, towels and bed linens used by the infected child must be washed in hot water. Non-washable items, such as pillows, may be dry-cleaned, set aside in a plastic bag for 5-7 days, or placed in a freezer for 2-3 days. All carpets, upholstery (including car upholstery), and mattresses must be vacuumed and the vacuum bag discarded outside. Any hair-care items or accessories, such as combs, brushes, or barrettes, need to be washed and soaked in medicated shampoo or in very hot water. As the condition is extremely contagious, all other members of the household must be examined daily for at least two weeks.

My guess is that not really knowing much about it I just preferred to buy organic whenever the opportunity presented itself, because I knew that it is supposedly healthier and tastier, and also other people, who’s opinion I valued, did the same thing. My point is that most of us, including myself, regard organic food as a better alternative for our diet without knowing much about it. However, none of us are fed on an entirely organic diet, we simply shop for our fruit and veggies, and when we are given the choice of organic or not organic, most likely our pick will be organic. But if there isn’t any available, we will go for the regular type. Well, I don’t any more. Knowing what I do about non-organic products, now, I would rather skip the meal, than feed my body with slow releasing poisons. And I wonder, how did we get to the point whereby we would prefer to turn a blind eye to something that religiously harms the most secret fundamental of all – our body and our health? Is this due to the fact that if we don’t feel or see an immediate effect through this poisoning, like eating a bowl of rat poison, for example – we tend to think that it is probably not serious? Well it is serious, and when related to the old saying – “ignorance is bliss” - it transpires that this does not apply to this situation very well. Does it? Our ignorance in this case is a complete negligence towards ourselves. After reading the information below, I truly hope that you will agree with me on this point?</span><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span></span></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Food Chemicals and Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\">Chemicals found in processed foods and commercially grown fruits, vegeta­bles and meat can have a detrimental effect on our health. We cannot process chemical additives into nutrients that the body can utilize, so they aren’t able to simply pass through our system “as is.” Only water and cellulose can do that. Therefore, these chemicals get absorbed for an indefinite period of time, delaying digestion and adding extra toxins to our blood, tissues and organs, and extra pounds to our weight. No scientific study exists which has been able to determine the length of time it takes for the human body to eliminate the pounds of chemicals it is carrying around. It is interesting to note that pre­servatives such as sodium nitrate (found in hot dogs, bacon, ham, and other processed foods) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are stored in our fat cells. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">9 Reasons To Avoid Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">1<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They ruin your taste buds</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods contain refined sugar, extra salt, and other flavor enhancers. These foods are not only unhealthy, they also dull the taste buds to natural flavors. The result? A need to eat more processed foods to get the taste you want, as you will no longer be able to appreciate the taste of natural foods.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">2<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Deadly additives.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Harmful chemical additives are added to foods to keep them “fresh” longer (i.e., to give them a longer shelf life) and to enhance taste and color.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">3<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Hide and seek.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods often contain hidden sugar, salt and harmful fats. All three of these contribute to health problems.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">4<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Mystery ingredients.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Many processed foods are filled with strange parts and pieces. For example, hot dogs contain “edible offal” – ani­mal skin, snouts, ears, esophagi, etc. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">5<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. No nutritional value.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processing takes most of the nutrients out of nutrient-rich foods. You get almost nothing of what your body needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">6<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Fortified with synthetics.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> To make up for the loss of nutrients dur­ing processing, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added. These may appear healthy, but our bodies are not built to process synthetic nutrients. (A perfect example is the “enriched flour” found in many products, including breads. Wheat is stripped of all its natural nutrients and then synthetic vitamins are added to it. This is what they consider “enriched.”) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">7<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Wrong Market.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> When you spend money on processed foods, you encourage growth in this market. Spending money on organic fruits and vegetables instead, encourages others to enter this market, there­by bringing the prices down. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">8<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Money</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Although fruits and vegetables often appear to be expen­sive, they are often less expensive than processed foods. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">9<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They Are Dead!</span></span></span></span></span></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Most of the goodness is cooked or processed out of our foods. We do not benefit from the enzymes and nutrients the foods normally contain. Dead foods equal dead cells! </span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Expending Our View On Pesticides</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">The word “pesticide” is generally used as a catch-all term for a variety of different insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, fungicides, soil fumigants, and other chemical compounds that are used to eliminate unde­sirable organisms from a specific place. These mate­rials are, by their very nature, highly toxic poisons.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Pesticides have been known for centuries, but the first synthetic chlorinated pesticides were discovered in 1939 when Paul Müller, a Swiss chemist, accidentally found that a chemical he was experimenting with called dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane killed in­sects. The global success of this compound, whose name was soon shortened to DDT, prompted researchers to look into the potential of other chemicals to destroy pests, and the pesticide revolution was born.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Today, pesticides are used around the world by consumers, industry, and ag­riculture. Between 5-6 billion pounds are manufactured globally each year. Twenty percent of this total is used in the United States, amounting to 5 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in the nation. An estimated 98% of Ameri­can families use these chemicals at least once a year.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Divided into 15 major chemical categories, there are approximately 1,400 pesticide compounds that are used in various combinations in some 35,000 different formulas. In addition to these so-called “active” ingredients (a term which means they are involved in the actual pesticidal action of the formu­la), pesticides also contain ingredients known as “inerts.” These solvents, spreaders, adhesives, wetting agents, carriers, and fillers can comprise up to 99% of a product’s formula. Roughly 2,300 various inert ingredients are used in pesticide formulas, and many of them are as toxic as the active ingredients themselves.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Since 1977, the EPA has required that manufacturers provide proof of a pes­ticide’s safety before it can be sold. However, most pesticides in use prior to that year have not yet been subjected to this testing and are still being sold. In fact, of the 1,400 active pesticide ingredients in use, only 600 are registered. Of these 600, researchers have found that complete toxicological data exists for only 100, meaning that the potential health effects of exposure to the vast majority of pesticides available for use today remain largely unknown.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Those effects we do know about are almost too numerous to mention. Pesti­cides have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, developmental disor­ders, reproductive problems, neurological dysfunction, immune system im­pairment, behavioral problems, and other negative health effects. For these and other reasons, healthy homeowners should never use any pesticide prod­uct in or around the home under any circumstances. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">These strategies can help:</span></span></strong></span></span></big></h3>\r\n<ul type=\"disc\">\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Be aware of and avoid products that use pesticides in less than obvious • ways. These include animal shampoos, flypaper, insect and rodent traps, mildew removal products, antibacterial cleaners, and insect repellents.</span></span></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Keep a clean house. Bugs infest homes when food or water is available. • Clean up crumbs and spills right away, do dishes soon after mealtimes, store food in sealed containers, and store trash outside.</span></span></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Fix dripping faucets, leaky pipes, clogged drains and other potential water sources.</span></span></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Protect your home from insect and rodent invasions by replacing broken • screens, sealing foundation cracks, repairing holes in roof eaves, and fixing poorly sealed doors and windows.</span></span></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Instead of pesticides, help your garden grow with beneficial insects, • healthy soils, garlic and herbal sprays, diatomaceous earth (the dust of fossilized skeletons of microscopic aquatic organisms - available in gardening supply stores), and other natural methods.</span></span></span></li>\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Forgo a large immaculate lawn of high maintenance, chemically-dependent grass in favor of a natural landscape of native plants that resists drought, bugs, and weed invasions.</span></span></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Now that we are only able to see the tip of the iceberg, my question is how we, as people, can be prevented from being fed with misleading information and poisoned food by many companies and industries, who’s primary concern is their profit margins? How about following a simple structure of economics related to the demand and supply? We, the people, and only we, have the power on demand, thus the supply as well. Why do we prefer to save $2 on a tomato, but go on to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on medical bills that consequently follow? Just because it does not have an immediate effect, it doesn’t mean it is not real. And the approach: “this will not happen to me” is absolutely wrong, because it will.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Yours In Health,</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12\" title=\"juliasigs-web_small\" src=\"http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/juliasigs-web_small-300x101.jpg\" alt=\"juliasigs-web_small\" width=\"180\" height=\"61\" />\r\n</span></span></span>','Eating Organic',0,'','publish','open','open','','eating-organic','','','2009-07-07 14:06:53','2009-07-07 18:06:53','',0,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?p=100',0,'post','',0),(101,2,'2009-07-07 14:00:10','2009-07-07 18:00:10','<h3><kbd><tt><span style=\"color: #66cc66;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">The 10 Most Important Foods to Eat Organic<input src=\"http://www.thinkhealing.com/blog/UserFiles/image/dreamstime_3672131.jpg\" type=\"image\" /></span></span></big></span></strong></span></tt></kbd></h3>\n<ol>\n	<li><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">Baby Food</span></strong></span></span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> </span></strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">- Babies are extraordinarily susceptible to pesticides.

No nutritional value.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processing takes most of the nutrients out of nutrient-rich foods.

These may appear healthy, but our bodies are not built to process synthetic nutrients. (A perfect example is the “enriched flour” found in many products, including breads. Wheat is stripped of all its natural nutrients and then synthetic vitamins are added to it. This is what they consider “enriched.”) </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">7<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">.

These mate­rials are, by their very nature, highly toxic poisons.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Pesticides have been known for centuries, but the first synthetic chlorinated pesticides were discovered in 1939 when Paul Müller, a Swiss chemist, accidentally found that a chemical he was experimenting with called dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane killed in­sects. The global success of this compound, whose name was soon shortened to DDT, prompted researchers to look into the potential of other chemicals to destroy pests, and the pesticide revolution was born.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Today, pesticides are used around the world by consumers, industry, and ag­riculture. Between 5-6 billion pounds are manufactured globally each year. Twenty percent of this total is used in the United States, amounting to 5 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in the nation. An estimated 98% of Ameri­can families use these chemicals at least once a year.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Divided into 15 major chemical categories, there are approximately 1,400 pesticide compounds that are used in various combinations in some 35,000 different formulas. In addition to these so-called “active” ingredients (a term which means they are involved in the actual pesticidal action of the formu­la), pesticides also contain ingredients known as “inerts.” These solvents, spreaders, adhesives, wetting agents, carriers, and fillers can comprise up to 99% of a product’s formula. Roughly 2,300 various inert ingredients are used in pesticide formulas, and many of them are as toxic as the active ingredients themselves.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Since 1977, the EPA has required that manufacturers provide proof of a pes­ticide’s safety before it can be sold. However, most pesticides in use prior to that year have not yet been subjected to this testing and are still being sold. In fact, of the 1,400 active pesticide ingredients in use, only 600 are registered. Of these 600, researchers have found that complete toxicological data exists for only 100, meaning that the potential health effects of exposure to the vast majority of pesticides available for use today remain largely unknown.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Those effects we do know about are almost too numerous to mention. Pesti­cides have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, developmental disor­ders, reproductive problems, neurological dysfunction, immune system im­pairment, behavioral problems, and other negative health effects. For these and other reasons, healthy homeowners should never use any pesticide prod­uct in or around the home under any circumstances. </span></span></span>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">These strategies can help:</span></span></strong></span></span></big></h3>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Be aware of and avoid products that use pesticides in less than obvious • ways. These include animal shampoos, flypaper, insect and rodent traps, mildew removal products, antibacterial cleaners, and insect repellents.</span></span></span></li>\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Keep a clean house. Bugs infest homes when food or water is available. • Clean up crumbs and spills right away, do dishes soon after mealtimes, store food in sealed containers, and store trash outside.</span></span></span></li>\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Fix dripping faucets, leaky pipes, clogged drains and other potential water sources.</span></span></span></li>\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Protect your home from insect and rodent invasions by replacing broken • screens, sealing foundation cracks, repairing holes in roof eaves, and fixing poorly sealed doors and windows.</span></span></span></li>\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Instead of pesticides, help your garden grow with beneficial insects, • healthy soils, garlic and herbal sprays, diatomaceous earth (the dust of fossilized skeletons of microscopic aquatic organisms - available in gardening supply stores), and other natural methods.</span></span></span></li>\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Forgo a large immaculate lawn of high maintenance, chemically-dependent grass in favor of a natural landscape of native plants that resists drought, bugs, and weed invasions.</span></span></span></li>\n</ul>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"> </span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Now that we are only able to see the tip of the iceberg, my question is how we, as people, can be prevented from being fed with misleading information and poisoned food by many companies and industries, who’s primary concern is their profit margins? How about following a simple structure of economics related to the demand and supply? We, the people, and only we, have the power on demand, thus the supply as well. Why do we prefer to save $2 on a tomato, but go on to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on medical bills that consequently follow? Just because it does not have an immediate effect, it doesn’t mean it is not real. And the approach: “this will not happen to me” is absolutely wrong, because it will.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Yours In Health,</span></span></span>','',0,'','inherit','open','open','','100-revision','','','2009-07-07 14:00:10','2009-07-07 18:00:10','',100,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?p=101',0,'revision','',0),(102,2,'2009-07-07 14:01:46','2009-07-07 18:01:46','','dreamstime_3672131',0,'','inherit','open','open','','dreamstime_3672131','','','2009-07-07 14:01:46','2009-07-07 18:01:46','',100,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dreamstime_3672131.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(103,2,'2009-07-07 14:00:12','2009-07-07 18:00:12','<h3><kbd><tt><span style=\"color: #66cc66;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">The 10 Most Important Foods to Eat Organic<input src=\"http://www.thinkhealing.com/blog/UserFiles/image/dreamstime_3672131.jpg\" type=\"image\" /></span></span></big></span></strong></span></tt></kbd></h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">Baby Food</span></strong></span></span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> </span></strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">- Babies are extraordinarily susceptible to pesticides.

These mate­rials are, by their very nature, highly toxic poisons.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Pesticides have been known for centuries, but the first synthetic chlorinated pesticides were discovered in 1939 when Paul Müller, a Swiss chemist, accidentally found that a chemical he was experimenting with called dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane killed in­sects. The global success of this compound, whose name was soon shortened to DDT, prompted researchers to look into the potential of other chemicals to destroy pests, and the pesticide revolution was born.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Today, pesticides are used around the world by consumers, industry, and ag­riculture. Between 5-6 billion pounds are manufactured globally each year. Twenty percent of this total is used in the United States, amounting to 5 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in the nation. An estimated 98% of Ameri­can families use these chemicals at least once a year.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Divided into 15 major chemical categories, there are approximately 1,400 pesticide compounds that are used in various combinations in some 35,000 different formulas. In addition to these so-called “active” ingredients (a term which means they are involved in the actual pesticidal action of the formu­la), pesticides also contain ingredients known as “inerts.” These solvents, spreaders, adhesives, wetting agents, carriers, and fillers can comprise up to 99% of a product’s formula. Roughly 2,300 various inert ingredients are used in pesticide formulas, and many of them are as toxic as the active ingredients themselves.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Since 1977, the EPA has required that manufacturers provide proof of a pes­ticide’s safety before it can be sold. However, most pesticides in use prior to that year have not yet been subjected to this testing and are still being sold. In fact, of the 1,400 active pesticide ingredients in use, only 600 are registered. Of these 600, researchers have found that complete toxicological data exists for only 100, meaning that the potential health effects of exposure to the vast majority of pesticides available for use today remain largely unknown.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Those effects we do know about are almost too numerous to mention. Pesti­cides have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, developmental disor­ders, reproductive problems, neurological dysfunction, immune system im­pairment, behavioral problems, and other negative health effects. For these and other reasons, healthy homeowners should never use any pesticide prod­uct in or around the home under any circumstances. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">These strategies can help:</span></span></strong></span></span></big></h3>\r\n<ul type=\"disc\">\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Be aware of and avoid products that use pesticides in less than obvious • ways.

How about following a simple structure of economics related to the demand and supply? We, the people, and only we, have the power on demand, thus the supply as well. Why do we prefer to save $2 on a tomato, but go on to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on medical bills that consequently follow? Just because it does not have an immediate effect, it doesn’t mean it is not real. And the approach: “this will not happen to me” is absolutely wrong, because it will.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Yours In Health,</span></span></span>','',0,'','inherit','open','open','','100-revision-2','','','2009-07-07 14:00:12','2009-07-07 18:00:12','',100,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?p=103',0,'revision','',0),(104,2,'2009-07-07 14:02:05','2009-07-07 18:02:05','<h3><kbd><tt><span style=\"color: #66cc66;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-102\" title=\"dreamstime_3672131\" src=\"http://blog.thinkhealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dreamstime_3672131-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"dreamstime_3672131\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />The 10 Most Important Foods to Eat Organic</span></span></big></span></strong></span></tt></kbd></h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">Baby Food</span></strong></span></span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> </span></strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">- Babies are extraordinarily susceptible to pesticides.

My guess is that not really knowing much about it I just preferred to buy organic whenever the opportunity presented itself, because I knew that it is supposedly healthier and tastier, and also other people, who’s opinion I valued, did the same thing. My point is that most of us, including myself, regard organic food as a better alternative for our diet without knowing much about it. However, none of us are fed on an entirely organic diet, we simply shop for our fruit and veggies, and when we are given the choice of organic or not organic, most likely our pick will be organic. But if there isn’t any available, we will go for the regular type. Well, I don’t any more. Knowing what I do about non-organic products, now, I would rather skip the meal, than feed my body with slow releasing poisons. And I wonder, how did we get to the point whereby we would prefer to turn a blind eye to something that religiously harms the most secret fundamental of all – our body and our health? Is this due to the fact that if we don’t feel or see an immediate effect through this poisoning, like eating a bowl of rat poison, for example – we tend to think that it is probably not serious? Well it is serious, and when related to the old saying – “ignorance is bliss” - it transpires that this does not apply to this situation very well. Does it? Our ignorance in this case is a complete negligence towards ourselves. After reading the information below, I truly hope that you will agree with me on this point?</span><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span></span></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Food Chemicals and Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\">Chemicals found in processed foods and commercially grown fruits, vegeta­bles and meat can have a detrimental effect on our health. We cannot process chemical additives into nutrients that the body can utilize, so they aren’t able to simply pass through our system “as is.” Only water and cellulose can do that. Therefore, these chemicals get absorbed for an indefinite period of time, delaying digestion and adding extra toxins to our blood, tissues and organs, and extra pounds to our weight. No scientific study exists which has been able to determine the length of time it takes for the human body to eliminate the pounds of chemicals it is carrying around. It is interesting to note that pre­servatives such as sodium nitrate (found in hot dogs, bacon, ham, and other processed foods) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are stored in our fat cells. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">9 Reasons To Avoid Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">1<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">.

My guess is that not really knowing much about it I just preferred to buy organic whenever the opportunity presented itself, because I knew that it is supposedly healthier and tastier, and also other people, who’s opinion I valued, did the same thing. My point is that most of us, including myself, regard organic food as a better alternative for our diet without knowing much about it. However, none of us are fed on an entirely organic diet, we simply shop for our fruit and veggies, and when we are given the choice of organic or not organic, most likely our pick will be organic. But if there isn’t any available, we will go for the regular type. Well, I don’t any more. Knowing what I do about non-organic products, now, I would rather skip the meal, than feed my body with slow releasing poisons. And I wonder, how did we get to the point whereby we would prefer to turn a blind eye to something that religiously harms the most secret fundamental of all – our body and our health? Is this due to the fact that if we don’t feel or see an immediate effect through this poisoning, like eating a bowl of rat poison, for example – we tend to think that it is probably not serious? Well it is serious, and when related to the old saying – “ignorance is bliss” - it transpires that this does not apply to this situation very well. Does it? Our ignorance in this case is a complete negligence towards ourselves. After reading the information below, I truly hope that you will agree with me on this point?</span><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n</span></span></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;\">\n</span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Food Chemicals and Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\">Chemicals found in processed foods and commercially grown fruits, vegeta­bles and meat can have a detrimental effect on our health. We cannot process chemical additives into nutrients that the body can utilize, so they aren’t able to simply pass through our system “as is.” Only water and cellulose can do that. Therefore, these chemicals get absorbed for an indefinite period of time, delaying digestion and adding extra toxins to our blood, tissues and organs, and extra pounds to our weight. No scientific study exists which has been able to determine the length of time it takes for the human body to eliminate the pounds of chemicals it is carrying around. It is interesting to note that pre­servatives such as sodium nitrate (found in hot dogs, bacon, ham, and other processed foods) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are stored in our fat cells. </span></span></span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">9 Reasons To Avoid Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">1<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They ruin your taste buds</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods contain refined sugar, extra salt, and other flavor enhancers. These foods are not only unhealthy, they also dull the taste buds to natural flavors. The result? A need to eat more processed foods to get the taste you want, as you will no longer be able to appreciate the taste of natural foods.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">2<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Deadly additives.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Harmful chemical additives are added to foods to keep them “fresh” longer (i.e., to give them a longer shelf life) and to enhance taste and color.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">3<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Hide and seek.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods often contain hidden sugar, salt and harmful fats. All three of these contribute to health problems.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">4<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Mystery ingredients.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Many processed foods are filled with strange parts and pieces. For example, hot dogs contain “edible offal” – ani­mal skin, snouts, ears, esophagi, etc. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">5<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. No nutritional value.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processing takes most of the nutrients out of nutrient-rich foods. You get almost nothing of what your body needs. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">6<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Fortified with synthetics.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> To make up for the loss of nutrients dur­ing processing, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added. These may appear healthy, but our bodies are not built to process synthetic nutrients. (A perfect example is the “enriched flour” found in many products, including breads. Wheat is stripped of all its natural nutrients and then synthetic vitamins are added to it. This is what they consider “enriched.”) </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">7<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Wrong Market.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> When you spend money on processed foods, you encourage growth in this market. Spending money on organic fruits and vegetables instead, encourages others to enter this market, there­by bringing the prices down. </span>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">8<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Money</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Although fruits and vegetables often appear to be expen­sive, they are often less expensive than processed foods. </span>\n\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">9<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They Are Dead!</span></span></span></span></span></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Most of the goodness is cooked or processed out of our foods. We do not benefit from the enzymes and nutrients the foods normally contain. Dead foods equal dead cells! </span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Expending Our View On Pesticides</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">The word “pesticide” is generally used as a catch-all term for a variety of different insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, fungicides, soil fumigants, and other chemical compounds that are used to eliminate unde­sirable organisms from a specific place. These mate­rials are, by their very nature, highly toxic poisons.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Pesticides have been known for centuries, but the first synthetic chlorinated pesticides were discovered in 1939 when Paul Müller, a Swiss chemist, accidentally found that a chemical he was experimenting with called dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane killed in­sects. The global success of this compound, whose name was soon shortened to DDT, prompted researchers to look into the potential of other chemicals to destroy pests, and the pesticide revolution was born.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Today, pesticides are used around the world by consumers, industry, and ag­riculture. Between 5-6 billion pounds are manufactured globally each year. Twenty percent of this total is used in the United States, amounting to 5 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in the nation. An estimated 98% of Ameri­can families use these chemicals at least once a year.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Divided into 15 major chemical categories, there are approximately 1,400 pesticide compounds that are used in various combinations in some 35,000 different formulas. In addition to these so-called “active” ingredients (a term which means they are involved in the actual pesticidal action of the formu­la), pesticides also contain ingredients known as “inerts.” These solvents, spreaders, adhesives, wetting agents, carriers, and fillers can comprise up to 99% of a product’s formula. Roughly 2,300 various inert ingredients are used in pesticide formulas, and many of them are as toxic as the active ingredients themselves.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Since 1977, the EPA has required that manufacturers provide proof of a pes­ticide’s safety before it can be sold. However, most pesticides in use prior to that year have not yet been subjected to this testing and are still being sold. In fact, of the 1,400 active pesticide ingredients in use, only 600 are registered. Of these 600, researchers have found that complete toxicological data exists for only 100, meaning that the potential health effects of exposure to the vast majority of pesticides available for use today remain largely unknown.</span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Those effects we do know about are almost too numerous to mention. Pesti­cides have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, developmental disor­ders, reproductive problems, neurological dysfunction, immune system im­pairment, behavioral problems, and other negative health effects. For these and other reasons, healthy homeowners should never use any pesticide prod­uct in or around the home under any circumstances. </span></span></span>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">These strategies can help:</span></span></strong></span></span></big></h3>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Be aware of and avoid products that use pesticides in less than obvious • ways.

My guess is that not really knowing much about it I just preferred to buy organic whenever the opportunity presented itself, because I knew that it is supposedly healthier and tastier, and also other people, who’s opinion I valued, did the same thing. My point is that most of us, including myself, regard organic food as a better alternative for our diet without knowing much about it. However, none of us are fed on an entirely organic diet, we simply shop for our fruit and veggies, and when we are given the choice of organic or not organic, most likely our pick will be organic. But if there isn’t any available, we will go for the regular type. Well, I don’t any more. Knowing what I do about non-organic products, now, I would rather skip the meal, than feed my body with slow releasing poisons. And I wonder, how did we get to the point whereby we would prefer to turn a blind eye to something that religiously harms the most secret fundamental of all – our body and our health? Is this due to the fact that if we don’t feel or see an immediate effect through this poisoning, like eating a bowl of rat poison, for example – we tend to think that it is probably not serious? Well it is serious, and when related to the old saying – “ignorance is bliss” - it transpires that this does not apply to this situation very well. Does it? Our ignorance in this case is a complete negligence towards ourselves. After reading the information below, I truly hope that you will agree with me on this point?</span><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span></span></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Food Chemicals and Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\">Chemicals found in processed foods and commercially grown fruits, vegeta­bles and meat can have a detrimental effect on our health. We cannot process chemical additives into nutrients that the body can utilize, so they aren’t able to simply pass through our system “as is.” Only water and cellulose can do that. Therefore, these chemicals get absorbed for an indefinite period of time, delaying digestion and adding extra toxins to our blood, tissues and organs, and extra pounds to our weight. No scientific study exists which has been able to determine the length of time it takes for the human body to eliminate the pounds of chemicals it is carrying around. It is interesting to note that pre­servatives such as sodium nitrate (found in hot dogs, bacon, ham, and other processed foods) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are stored in our fat cells. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">9 Reasons To Avoid Processed Foods</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">1<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They ruin your taste buds</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods contain refined sugar, extra salt, and other flavor enhancers. These foods are not only unhealthy, they also dull the taste buds to natural flavors. The result? A need to eat more processed foods to get the taste you want, as you will no longer be able to appreciate the taste of natural foods.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">2<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Deadly additives.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Harmful chemical additives are added to foods to keep them “fresh” longer (i.e., to give them a longer shelf life) and to enhance taste and color.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">3<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Hide and seek.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processed foods often contain hidden sugar, salt and harmful fats. All three of these contribute to health problems.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">4<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Mystery ingredients.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Many processed foods are filled with strange parts and pieces. For example, hot dogs contain “edible offal” – ani­mal skin, snouts, ears, esophagi, etc. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">5<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. No nutritional value.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Processing takes most of the nutrients out of nutrient-rich foods. You get almost nothing of what your body needs. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">6<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Fortified with synthetics.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> To make up for the loss of nutrients dur­ing processing, synthetic vitamins and minerals are added. These may appear healthy, but our bodies are not built to process synthetic nutrients. (A perfect example is the “enriched flour” found in many products, including breads. Wheat is stripped of all its natural nutrients and then synthetic vitamins are added to it. This is what they consider “enriched.”) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">7<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Wrong Market.</span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> When you spend money on processed foods, you encourage growth in this market. Spending money on organic fruits and vegetables instead, encourages others to enter this market, there­by bringing the prices down. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"background-color: lime;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">8<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. Money</span>.</span></span></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Although fruits and vegetables often appear to be expen­sive, they are often less expensive than processed foods. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\">9<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">. They Are Dead!</span></span></span></span></span></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;\"> Most of the goodness is cooked or processed out of our foods. We do not benefit from the enzymes and nutrients the foods normally contain. Dead foods equal dead cells! </span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><big><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Expending Our View On Pesticides</span></strong></span></big></span></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">The word “pesticide” is generally used as a catch-all term for a variety of different insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides, fungicides, soil fumigants, and other chemical compounds that are used to eliminate unde­sirable organisms from a specific place. These mate­rials are, by their very nature, highly toxic poisons.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Pesticides have been known for centuries, but the first synthetic chlorinated pesticides were discovered in 1939 when Paul Müller, a Swiss chemist, accidentally found that a chemical he was experimenting with called dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane killed in­sects. The global success of this compound, whose name was soon shortened to DDT, prompted researchers to look into the potential of other chemicals to destroy pests, and the pesticide revolution was born.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Today, pesticides are used around the world by consumers, industry, and ag­riculture. Between 5-6 billion pounds are manufactured globally each year. Twenty percent of this total is used in the United States, amounting to 5 lbs. for every man, woman, and child in the nation. An estimated 98% of Ameri­can families use these chemicals at least once a year.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Divided into 15 major chemical categories, there are approximately 1,400 pesticide compounds that are used in various combinations in some 35,000 different formulas. In addition to these so-called “active” ingredients (a term which means they are involved in the actual pesticidal action of the formu­la), pesticides also contain ingredients known as “inerts.” These solvents, spreaders, adhesives, wetting agents, carriers, and fillers can comprise up to 99% of a product’s formula. Roughly 2,300 various inert ingredients are used in pesticide formulas, and many of them are as toxic as the active ingredients themselves.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Since 1977, the EPA has required that manufacturers provide proof of a pes­ticide’s safety before it can be sold. However, most pesticides in use prior to that year have not yet been subjected to this testing and are still being sold. In fact, of the 1,400 active pesticide ingredients in use, only 600 are registered. Of these 600, researchers have found that complete toxicological data exists for only 100, meaning that the potential health effects of exposure to the vast majority of pesticides available for use today remain largely unknown.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Those effects we do know about are almost too numerous to mention. Pesti­cides have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, developmental disor­ders, reproductive problems, neurological dysfunction, immune system im­pairment, behavioral problems, and other negative health effects. For these and other reasons, healthy homeowners should never use any pesticide prod­uct in or around the home under any circumstances. </span></span></span>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">These strategies can help:</span></span></strong></span></span></big></h3>\r\n<ul type=\"disc\">\r\n	<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%;\">Be aware of and avoid products that use pesticides in less than obvious • ways.

How about following a simple structure of economics related to the demand and supply? We, the people, and only we, have the power on demand, thus the supply as well. Why do we prefer to save $2 on a tomato, but go on to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on medical bills that consequently follow? Just because it does not have an immediate effect, it doesn’t mean it is not real. And the approach: “this will not happen to me” is absolutely wrong, because it will.</span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Yours In Health,</span></span></span>','Eating Organic',0,'','inherit','open','open','','100-revision-4','','','2009-07-07 14:02:58','2009-07-07 18:02:58','',100,'http://blog.thinkhealing.com/?p=106',0,'revision','',0),(107,2,'2009-07-07 13:49:06','2009-07-07 17:49:06','When you start creating a healthier diet for yourself, you may experience cravings for the foods you used to eat.
