 If you buy from small, local organic growers, like you might find at a farmer's market or local co-op, then you are supporting sustainable farming and local families who have the knowledge and the determination to work close to the earth in an honorable profession. When you purchase from these local organic farmers, you are supporting a way of life that is truly sacred; a way of life that, frankly, more of us would do well to emulate. That way of life includes farming organic produce from the earth in the local sustainable way that honors nature. |
| What's the good of saving a dollar or two on the package of so-called 'foods' if you're poisoning the planet and supporting a corporate empire of exploitation and destruction that would bring you this food a couple dollars cheaper at the expense of the very planet that brought you that gift in the first place? When you buy non-organic, you're not really saving any money; you're dooming the planet.
When you buy organic, on the other hand, you are saving everything that matters. |
| When you purchase from these local organic farmers, you are supporting a way of life that is truly sacred; a way of life that, frankly, more of us would do well to emulate. That way of life includes farming organic produce from the earth in the local sustainable way that honors nature. That's a miracle in action, and every time you purchase those foods, you support those local community miracles. |

 Let's face it: All the smart people are supporting either Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul. It's the not-too-bright, do-as-they're-told mainstream idiots who are supporting Clinton, Guliani, Huckabee and other mainstream candidates. Obama's supporters are somewhere in between: At least Obama is a bit of an outsider, and he's a far better choice than Clinton for numerous reasons. If given a strict choice between Clinton and Obama, I'd choose Obama without hesitation.
Voting for Clinton or Huckabee requires no thought whatsoever. |

 The most important dietary guidelines for supporting good liver function are also those that support good general health: avoid saturated fats, refined sugar, and alcohol; drink at least forty-eight ounces of water each day; and consume plenty of vegetables and legumes for their high fiber and nutrient content.
Certain foods are particularly helpful in supporting liver health because they contain the nutrients your body needs to produce and activate the dozens of enzymes within the liver involved in the various phases of detoxification of harmful chemicals. |

 These tissues bind mind and spirit to the physical body, while strengthening and supporting them. Ayurveda's parallel to the western humours (dosa in Sanskrit) circulate around the dhatus. These vital fluids are vata, pitta, and kapha—wind or breath, bile, and phlegm—and as in western humouralism, they are considered to be physical substances. But the dosas differ from the humours in that they are not just physical fluids. |

 The research indicates that continuing this tradition—with green tea—might be a good idea for supporting the health and beauty of most adult women. Green tea is linked to maintaining strong bones, reducing the risk of breast cancer, and sustaining young-looking skin. However, pregnant women and women whose premenstrual syndrome or fibrocystic breast disease worsens after caffeine ingestion will want to choose decaffeinated varieties of green tea or caffeine-free green tea supplements. |

 This is probably the most important step you can take towards helping yourself to heal. By supporting your internal environment, you can amp up your body's ability to resist the cancer. Ever notice, in the forest, that parasitic fungi don't grow on all trees? They like to grow on trees that aren't in good health. The same goes for cancers and most other kinds of illness.
• Say no to sugars and yes to whole plant foods. Strictly limit sugars and eat lots of vegetables and fruit.
• Consider a macrobiotic diet. |
| MUk thistle, an herb with a long history of use as a liver tonic, is helpful in supporting the liver, your body's 'detox factory'—which is dealing with a high load of chemicals as you undergo chemotherapy. Take 240 mg two to three times daily. Use a milk thistle extract (which is made from the plant's seed) that contains 80% silymarin, the herb's active ingredient.
Lots of water. Drink eight to ten glasses of water daily.
Vitamin FC a nutrient essential for blood clotting, is depleted by most chemo drugs. |

 My advice is to keep these kinds of products available in the marketplace by supporting this company and the nutritional supplements industry. The best way you can do that is by purchasing quality supplements and consuming them on a regular basis. You'll enhance your cardiovascular health and help prevent heart disease, while supporting an industry that's literally saving or enhancing the lives of millions of people each year. |

| This is meant not as a prescription, but as a guideline—a list of the possibilities for both replacing depleted nutrients and supporting your body's return to health.
Start with the foundation of the multivitamin and other core nutrients listed here, and allow yourself a few weeks to adjust and notice any differences in how you feel and function or in your requirements for medication. Add additional nutrients or herbs one at a time, keeping track of additional changes in your health—that way, you'll get a feel for what helps most. |
| Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
This nutrient, like the other B vitamins, plays multiple roles in the human body, supporting about 100 different enzymatic reactions and helping to make both mood-boosting (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine) and calming (gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA) neurotransmitters.
Vitamin B6 is also needed to "burn" proteins for energy; for the transport of oxygen around the body; and for the building of another B vitamin, niacin. Vitamin B6 is also needed to make DNA and for the proper function of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. |

 Recent examples include issuing a joint statement with the Chlorine Institute justifying the continued global use of persistent organochlorine pesticides, and also supporting the industry in trivializing dietary pesticide residues as avoidable risks of childhood cancer. ACS policies are further exemplified by allocating under 0.1 percent of its $700 million annual budget to environmental and occupational causes of cancer."

| Post-colonial India began to build a multi-stranded system, supporting Ayurveda and Unani Tibb and homeopathy as well as biomedicine (although biomedicine rapidly absorbed the lion's share of funding). |
| In the account with which this chapter opened, a layman was able to present in the medical press his own evidence and arguments supporting the adoption by orthodox medicine of an originally heterodox—in fact cross-cultural—therapy. In succeeding chapters, I will sketch out the historical processes by which practitioners and patients (among others) crafted western responses to alternative medicines from a range of cultures. Today, patients and the lay public are much less empowered to intervene in the practice of medicine than they were at the beginning of the nineteenth century. |

 In other words, there is absolutely no medical evidence supporting the use of prescription drugs in the way they are often prescribed by doctors! Once you realize the truth in this statement, you will instantly understand why the entire Big Pharma / FDA system of drug approvals, drug marketing and drug prescribing is a massive medical hoax. There is simply no requirement that a drug be approved for a specific health condition before being prescribed to treat it! |

 If you keep buying and using prescription drugs, then you're supporting Big Pharma, regardless of what you intellectually believe about those destructive corporations.
Replacing pharmaceuticals with medicine from Mother Nature is one of the most powerful expressions of health freedom that you can invoke. Simply making the choice to spend your money on natural products rather than synthetic chemicals is an extremely self-empowering decision that puts control over your health back into your own hands! |

 I spoke with the company that made the drug about supporting research, but it wasn't interested. With private donations my colleagues and I eventually performed a study showing that Accutane affected brain function, suggesting how it could cause depression and suicide.1
You might think that people would be happy to learn more about a potentially dangerous side effect, but they weren't. Dermatologists who prescribe Accutane told me that I shouldn't do this research, because Accutane was a "good" drug that helped a lot of people with severe acne. |
| The original evidence supporting the claim that HRT prevented heart attacks was based on what are called observational studies. Women who chose to take HRT were compared to those who didn't and were found to have fewer heart attacks. It turned out that the women who took HRT also were more health conscious and did other things, like exercise and eat a healthy diet, that protected them from heart attack. The HRT didn't do anything. However, ten years of major marketing to women and billions of dollars in sales went by. |

 That's why people who believe in freedom (real freedom, not the George Bush version of freedom) are wholeheartedly supporting Ron Paul, regardless of whether they're Democrats, Republicans or Libertarians.
I encourage everyone to check out Ron Paul. Do your research. You'll find he's very nearly the only honest lawmaker left in Washington. If you're going to vote for anybody in this next election, vote your conscience. Vote for the person who most reflects honesty, integrity, and the empowerment of the people.

 No good science supporting safety of triclosan
According to the American Medical Association: "Despite their recent proliferation in consumer products, the use of antimicrobial agents such as triclosan in consumer products has not been studied extensively. No data exist to support their efficacy when used in such products or any need for them…it may be prudent to avoid the use of antimicrobial agents in consumer products."
The chemical company states: "Ciba supports the use of triclosan only if there is a benefit to human beings."
So, what if it is shown to offer no benefit to humans? |

 Natural antioxidants and their supporting nutrients are the ideal chemo-preventive agents for many reasons. They
• limit and even prevent the free-radical damage to the DNA nucleus of the cell.
• provide the proper nutrients needed for the body to repair any damage that has been done already.
• are safe and may be taken over a lifetime. (Pharmaceutical drugs do not share this advantage. Tamoxifen, which has been shown to decrease the risk of breast cancer, has very serious side effects.)
• are relatively inexpensive. (The nutrients I recommend for prevention cost between $1.00 and $1. |

 Nutrition, on the other hand, is 100% biocompatible with the human body, and nutrition produces exceptional results in restoring and supporting human health. Nobody has ever been killed by antioxidants, or superfoods, or vitamins E and C. Not a single person. Billions of people have been helped by these substances, and nutrition, in fact, is the answer to our health care problems. If we taught people the truth about nutrition, they wouldn't need prescription drugs! |

 The hemp protein base makes it a fantastic choice for those wanting to ingest a quality protein source from sustainable food sources, and the supporting herbs helps stabilize blood sugar, boost performance and provide workout energy and endurance. It's a great combination of ingredients. No sweeteners, either. So you'll need to add your own raw honey, stevia, agave nectar or whatever else you want to use. Be warned, their website (http://www.epiphanycreations.com/main.html) is annoyingly Flashified and backed by a rave beat track. |

 Just as worrisome, law enforcement authorities are supporting these tyrannical actions of doctors, effectively providing firepower to what can only be called the "tyranny branch" of modern medicine. Any system of medicine that requires firearms to motivate patients is, in my opinion, more a system of control than a system of healing. Whatever happened to, "First, do no harm? |

 The process of converting illiquid obligations and risks into marketable securities played a supporting role in the transformation of the financial services industry and will help exacerbate the damage caused by plunging markets. Along with the sharp increase in global trade, which opened channels through which all sorts of economic shocks could be readily transmitted, the links between financial services providers and the real economy ensure that pressures will now spread quickly. |
| But when enough of those supporting planks disappear, the consequences can be devastating. Throughout history, financial crises and banking panics have frequently been the precursors of recessions and depressions and, occasionally, full-scale economic collapses.
Six years after the equity bubble burst in the spring of 2000, there were numerous signs that a systemic destabilization was nearly underway. And with that, much of what had been taken for granted in an era of homes-as-ATMs, derivatives, securitization, and other forms of modern financial alchemy would suddenly be called into question. |

| She began providing enough antioxidants and their supporting nutrients to restore balance to her body and bring the oxidative stress back under control. She built up her body's natural immune system while improving her body's natural repair system.
I'm happy to report that Evelyn has continued to improve and now leads an active life. It has been more than seven years since she started her nutritional program. She still has MS, of course, and has to be careful. But she is living life to the fullest. She continues to go to her MS support group—not for herself but to encourage others. |
