France is getting serious about locally grown, organic sustainable food...

Credit is just as good as money. We can give each other credit. That means we can use our own money, no longer depending on the banks and the speculators...

What's good about this is that it will decrease the load of microwave energy we absorb from the ever expanding network of WiFi routers and perhaps in time the mobile phones as well.

We are a bit slow to realise it, but what is the use of money or an economy if the majority of people are excluded from participation because they have no or too little money? |

This should ease the pressure on having to use antibiotics for surgery ...

How come you allow and even recommend (it's the harvest 'protocol') glyphosate poison to be applied to a food grain 7 to 10 days before harvest? Is it any wonder people get sick eating foods containing wheat?

Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating ordinary sugar, sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat. Eating “complex carbohydrates,” rather than sugars, is a reasonable way to promote obesity. Eating starch, by increasing insulin and lowering the blood sugar, stimulates the appetite, causing a person to eat more, so the effect on fat production becomes much larger than when equal amounts of sugar and starch are eaten. The obesity itself then becomes an additional physiological factor; the fat cells create something analogous to an inflammatory state. There isn't anything wrong with a high carbohydrate diet, and even a high starch diet isn't necessarily incompatible with good health, but when better foods are available they should be used instead of starches. For example, fruits have many advantages over grains, besides the difference between sugar and starch. Bread and pasta consumption are strongly associated with the occurrence of diabetes, fruit consumption has a strong inverse association.

Dr Ray Peat also says...
After decades of “education” to promote eating starchy foods, obesity is a bigger problem than ever, and more people are dying of diabetes than previously. The age-specific incidence of most cancers is increasing, too, and there is evidence that starch, such as pasta, contributes to breast cancer, and possibly other types of cancer. The epidemiology would appear to suggest that complex carbohydrates cause diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. If the glycemic index is viewed in terms of the theory that hyperglycemia, by way of “glucotoxicity,” causes the destruction of proteins by glycation, which is seen in diabetes and old age, that might seem simple and obvious.

We might become complacent at times and think that our doctors must know what they are doing, that what they are prescribing is gong to help us.

Scary but so true - as a registered nurse I have seen the negative effects of prescription drugs on health over and over and over again...of course they have their place sometimes, and in emergencies they can save lives. For most long term prescription drugs there is a price somewhere else in the body. I lost my father last year, and I know in my heart of hearts that his total compliance with medication prescribed for him by his well intentioned doctor, finally led to the complications which ended his life.
A doctor once told me a true story about a woman he knew in a nursing home that was dying - the whole family were called to be with her, and medication was ceased while they waited for her to die. For a few days she got worse each day and then better, and better, and better. So much so that she was able to leave the nursing home and go to live with family!!

"We think of the tree of life, with genetic material passing vertically from mom and dad," said Boothby. "But with horizontal gene transfer becoming more widely accepted and more well known, at least in certain organisms, it is beginning to change the way we think about evolution and inheritance of genetic material and the stability of genomes. So instead of thinking of the tree of life, we can think about the web of life and genetic material crossing from branch to branch. So it's exciting. We are beginning to adjust our understanding of how evolution works."

Co-operatives are one face of a networked society, but there must also be freedom to act and experiment on an individual level and in small, informal groups, which will allow us to bring what we learn into the network...

Citizens' initiative in Switzerland to take money creation away from commercial banks. Next step is debate and then a referendum of all Swiss citizens. |
