The real meaning of going green

More shopping for the holidays/melamine update

2008-12-08T06:01:00.000-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND SUPPORT!! I LOVE DOING THIS AND HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM ALL OF YOU!!

I have written before about the benefits of trying to do as much as we can organically and have mentioned some outstanding products from Australia which has international certifications and are the only whole food and supplement company that have the ACO (Australian Certified Organic), IFOAM (International Federation Organic Agriculture Movement) USDA and QAI. They simply are the best that I have tried. Please check out

www.karenmacnab.mionegroup.com

She is the go to person I have found for this company.

Honestly-at this point I am not going to use anything else--and neither should you as long as it is 3rd party endorsed, is completely chemical free and has certifications. If your products do not and are not completely made up of plants, herbs, flowers and pure clean water--do not use them.

As the holiday season very quickly approaches there have been articles and websites inundated with "green" and "safe" toys.

The bottom line is that toys that are produced in China have BPA's and phtalates, BECAUSE the toy manufacturers allow it to happen and so does our government. We have the power to stop it all by not buying these toys. Now-there are going to be restrictions starting in 02/09-see this article

http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE4B366Y20081204

This is definitely great news. Now all products that are produced in China are not dangerous. the companies have to uphold a level of responsibility, which some do... you have to be your own champion and do the legwork.

There has been controversy about the barcodes and what is safe from overseas. Just remember organic is best period and stay away from boxed and canned foods. I have said it before sustainable farming--there is a delivery service right here that delivers to our door

In addition the new year is upon us and we have a great fun detox/feeling and looking good 8 week program coming up that I am very excited about. Jasmine Whitehead who has a Master's in Public Health, is a LMT and has many other certifications and myself have put together a fun program for the New Year--stay tuned for details. I just got done weaning the baby so I still have a good 12-15 lbs to go!!

With that said happy shopping and blessings to all!!

Shop and eat green for the Holidays

2008-11-26T03:50:00.000-08:00

As the holidays quickly approach--the important thing is keeping healthy. All of the processed "junk" foods that are around every corner, lurking at neighbors homes, work, parties, etc...reach for the veggie and fruits trays and indulge slightly. It never has to be no-it has to be moderation. Here are some great new raw food websites:

www.renegaderoundtable.com

www.kristensraw.com

Remember to keep Vitamin D3 on hand and take 5000-6000 iu's a day to keep all bronchial issues at bay. for children a maintenance dose is 2000-3000 iu's. If you feel the impending cold, flu or virus coming on you can take 50000 iu's for 3 days only and then back to a maintenance dose. Check out the summary on The Vitamin D Cure

Great articles and a healing center located in Wheaton, IL

As far as personal care products--that has always been a big deal. our skin is the largest organ of the body and EVERYTHING that you put on your skin reaches every organ within 22 seconds...if you can not eat it-do not put it on your skin.

I have been speaking very highly of a wonderful organic, mindful company called miessence. Please visit: karenmacnab.mionegroup.com

Vaccines in the hotseat again

2008-11-05T11:06:00.000-08:00

As many of you know that this is a sensitive topic for me and we are anti-vaccines for many reasons. The list is long and distinguished and if you want more info-please ask-there is a great section here on why...

I attend Dr. Mayer Einsteins' "Educate before you Vaccinate" seminar. This is the first time I heard him speak personally. I thought it was informative and I did learn one or two things.

What he also concentrated on was the flu vaccine and why NO one should ever receive it. There are 2 out of 7 compenents in every vaccine

1. Chicken embryos
2. Monkey kidneys
3. Human aborted fetal material
4. Formaldehyde
5. Aluminum
6. Thermisol (mercury)
7. Ethyl Alcohol (gasoline cutting agents)

The first 3 are in every vaccine-know I ask you why would we inject these into our bodies??? Our immune system is perfectly amazing and if we keep it running on optimal levels knowing what we know about the environment we can do a few simple things.

To ward off any bronchial issue you can use oil of oregano and/or Vitamin d3.

The thing about this symposium that bothers me is that Dr. Einstein was promoting his brand of D3. It was a compromised product. As I have always said-make sure whatever you take has 3rd party testing and endorsements plus it had gelatin in it. If any supplement has that or corn syrup of any kind do not by it!!

Check out this 9 minute clip of a Dr. with 28 years of research and presenting at the Wrold Conference on Vacinnology it is unbelievable!!

More vaccine news/processed food warnings

2008-10-06T18:17:00.000-07:00

Hello all!!

I have some very interesting articles this week...

Here is a great reference site from all of the research done regarding vaccine injury. Mercola posted this a few days ago.

This article was posted on Vitacost.com about the FDA's warning for OTC meds for children:

Cold Meds for Kids Back in the Spotlight
FDA to discuss whether the medications should be prescription only

By Amanda Gardner
HealthDay Reporter

(HealthDay News) -- After recommending earlier this year that children under the age of 2 not receive over-the-counter cold medicines, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday is meeting with the public to help answer an even more important question: Should kids' cold medicines remain "OTC" at all?

The issue is not a new one for regulatory bodies or the public.

In January, the FDA issued an updated health advisory recommending that over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold preparations not be used to treat children under the age of 2 due to the possibility of life-threatening complications. These products include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines and cough suppressants.

Just prior to the advisory, the makers of dozens of cough and cold remedies marketed for infants voluntarily recalled the products.

Despite scant evidence that such remedies are actually effective in children or adults, an estimated 10 percent of American kids take one or more cough and cold medications during a given week.

Yet the preparations can do more harm than good, research suggests.

An FDA review of records filed with the agency between 1969 and September 2006 found 54 reports of deaths in children associated with decongestant medicines made with pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine or ephedrine. It also found 69 reports of deaths associated with antihistamine medicines containing diphenhydramine, brompheniramine or chlorpheniramine. Most of the deaths involved children younger than 2.

And the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that some 7,000 American children under the age of 11 are treated each year in hospital emergency rooms because of problems with cough and cold medications.

According to Dr. Michael Spigarelli, an assistant professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, the recent debate originally stemmed from a lawsuit by a group of pediatricians who felt that cough and cold medicines were unsafe -- or at least never proven to be safe. This led to the FDA's statement earlier this year regarding young children.

Spigarelli will be testifying at the hearings. "The current hearings are looking at a wider pediatric age range," he said.

"If the FDA takes those medications off the market, the impact on the public is unknown at this point," said Chanin Wright, a pediatric clinical specialist with Scott & White and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. "There's a risk that the parents would turn to adult formulations for their children which could potentially cause harm. I don't think the FDA wants that so they're asking expert opinion."

In addition to considering whether these medications should be over-the-counter or prescription, the hearings will cover a wide swath of territory, including questions of dosing and age range.

One of the most provocative issues is that of testing: What types of studies, if any, should be conducted in children and how should these studies be designed and powered?

"Testing in children is intensively debated," said Spigarelli. "It is felt by the FDA and most regulatory authorities that it is unethical to test in children, which means that pediatricians and family medicine doctors are left prescribing off-label, because it's equally unethical to let a kid suffer."

According to Spigarelli, 150 or so drugs have been tested in children since the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, passed in 2002. The act extends the amount of time a pharmaceutical company has exclusive rights to market a drug if that company conducts studies in children of drugs the FDA thinks might be useful in younger age groups, he said.

But the reality remains that few drugs have actually been tested in pediatric populations, Spigarelli said.

"The world [notably, the European Union] has shifted to doing more testing on children, but most of the medications used on children have not been tested, and cough and cold medicines are in that category," he said.

Here is a fascinating article from Dr. Clark's team-for those of you that do not know she is an amazing researcher and icon.

Her website is listed at the end of this page!!

Dear Guest of www.drclark.net

!
by The Dr. Clark Information Center Team

Often I receive emails promoting cancer cures. Many of these alternative therapies have widely different approaches. Which is the correct approach?
In her newest book: “The Cure and Prevention of all Cancers”, Dr. Clark explains that a single cause is not responsible for a single disease but rather it is a “chain of causes”, that is responsible.
Nonetheless in the past as also today professionals have seen their patients recover by removing one single cause. This not because they found the single cause but rather because they were able to break a link in this cancer chain. Find out what this cancer chain is below:

In this issue:

”The cancer complex
Polarization
Doctrine of signatures
Our volunteer staff
Testimonials

1. “The Cancer Complex

Today Dr. Clark’s discoveries, which she has always generously shared with the public through her books, have brought her to the conclusion that the disease we refer to as cancer, is in reality a complex.
At the beginning of her research, she thought, her discovery that the parasite “Fasciolopsis buski” was found in every cancer patient, meant this parasite was the main connection to the other contributors.

But Dr. Clark’s scientific nature gives her no let-up in her research.
Today, after many more years of research, Dr. Clark is able to announce the Fasciolopsis Buski parasite does not act alone in linking the cancer chain. It is complexed with other partners. Dr. Clark discusses this revelation in detail in her most recent book “The Cure and Prevention of all Cancers”.
The cancer complex looks like this:

Polonium is a radioactive element and cerium a lanthanide element.
Cerium is attached to a chemical found in bleach, a cyanide (added to bleach to protect the pipes)
Cyanide is attached to an alkylating agent (waste product of Fasciolopsis buski –the buski eats and excretes it).
Alkylating agents have been known to cause mutations and cancer for more than 50 years
. Cerium is the heart of the complex. It can attach to 4 things at the same time.
Once parasites die and are trapped in our tissues, they invite Clostridium which produces isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol is very reactive and attaches itself to any cerium nearby.

Read Dr. Clark’s revelation of this whole process and how the cancer complex can be uncoupled in her newest book: “The Cure and Prevention of all Cancers”.

2. Polarization

What does “Polarization” mean and is it the same as “Polarity”?
Let’s clarify. You’ll find this information in Dr. Clark’s newest book mentioned above on page 242.

All magnets have both a north and south pole. One end is north and the other south. This is called polarity. In polarity there is never a south pole without a north pole.

Water placed on the north pole of a magnet, will resonate with the north pole of the magnet and not with the south. Water placed on the south pole of a magnet, will resonate only with the south pole of the magnet and not with the north. Water develops the SAME polarization and the same magnetic field to which it was exposed. This does not happen with metal. If a piece of iron is placed near one pole of a magnet, the opposite pole is produced in the iron. There is another pole produced farther away in the same piece of iron so in reality both poles are produced.

Also plants, food, humans and animals can develop a north or south polarization.
But what does it mean to have a north or south polarization? Read about this in our next e-zine.

3. The doctrine of signatures

The doctrine of signatures is a philosophy spread by the writings of Jakob Böhme (1575 - 1624), who suggested that God marked objects with a sign, or "signature", for their purpose. For instance, a plant bearing parts that resembled human body parts, animals, or other objects, had useful relevance to those parts, animals or objects.
This has now been confirmed by today’s nutritional sciences where a whole food has a pattern resembling a body organ or physiological function benefits the person eating this food.

Find out which organ is benefited by a carrot, a tomato or a grape and many more by visiting this website www.dontolmaninternational.com/portal/content/view/24/95/

4. Our volunteer staff

The frontpage and structure of our website www.drclark.net

has been created by a very talented and resourceful co-worker. Her name is Shireen Sinno from Lebanon who is now living in Canada.
We became good friends discussing Dr. Clark’s protocols through the email system and are still in contact. But I will now let her introduce herself below:

The day I came across Dr. Clark's book "The Cure for All Cancers" was the day my life changed. The book was in an organic food store that I used to shop at, but it was not for sale—it was just the owner’s personal copy. I wanted the book so badly that I convinced the owner to lend it to me. After reading the introduction, I could not put that page-turner down. The science and logic it presented, and above all, the hope, baffled and impressed me. It was time to get inside Dr. Clark's world.

I should mention here at that at that time I was very concerned about a suspicious cyst I had, and I wanted to deal with it naturally without submitting myself to surgery. I was willing to do anything for that to happen, so the timing could not have been better.

I ordered my own copy of the book and the parasite-cleansing herbs, and I got started as soon as I received the material. I had some questions regarding the products, so I sent an e-mail to the center, and I thought that I will have to wait for weeks before I hear anything from them, that is if I did at all. To my surprise, I got a detailed enthusiastic reply in less than 24 hours from a lady called Cristina Carugati, who would later became a good friend of mine.

Cristina was extremely helpful, conscientious and genuine in everything she said, and that is exactly what every person going through health difficulties needs along with the treatment. I was very happy with the prescribed methods, how well they were explained, the way they made sense, and most importantly, with the result that came out. The cyst was shrinking, and I knew I was on the right track.

I then decided it was time to work on my teeth. Cristina helped find me the right dentist to do all the required procedures, and I flew to where the doctor operated. She was with me on the phone and followed up on all that was being done to me. She was a great support both on the professional and personal level. I could not have asked for more.

Payback time.
Being a graphic designer, I felt there must be something I could give in return for all that kindness and help. This center had shown me the light, and I was forever grateful. So I offered to work on the website, advertisements, CD covers and overall image of Dr. Clark's Information Center. I was glad to know that they were happy with the work and made used of it.It was very rewarding to feel that I finally took part in this cause, in this mission, no matter how small my contribution was.

The work I did for the center remains among my favorite projects, as it was all coming from the heart, and was a true reflection of what I believed - unlike other visual material where a designer is under the pressure to deliver, thus often compromising their personal taste for the sake of marketing the product. I consider myself very fortunate to have come across this special book which opened the doors for me to Dr. Clark's world, and where I met a friend I will keep for life.

Thank you Dr. Clark, thank you Cristina..
Shireen
