When choosing fresh fish, opt for wild-caught rather than farm-raised. wild fish will have lower levels of contaminants, especially mercury, and be richer in healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids. The nonprofit Environmental Defense Organization has listed its "eco-worst" fish to eat: blue and striped marlin, swordfish, shark, Atlantic salmon, orange roughy, grouper, Chilean sea bass, and bluefin tuna. Choose smaller fish such as flounder, sole, pollock, and halibut instead. |

 Time Defiance Vitamin C + wild Yam Treatment ($41.35 for the set) claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by 58% with vitamin C "instead of a needle." You get a bottle of ascorbic acid fluid to mix with a water-based moisturizer that contains a considerable amount of wild yam extract. The wild yam doesn't have any antiwrinkle prowess on its own, and the form of vitamin C used (ascorbic acid) requires an acidic pH to be effective, but that's not the case here. Furthermore, the clear glass packaging renders the light-sensitive vitamin C ineffective (Sources: www.naturaldatabase. |

 Monkeys, and generally all wild animals, have more or less clear levels of "hyperopia," as it would be defined concerning this "convention." We could develop the visual acuity over 20/20 with PVS. If man had stayed wild, without being constantly exposed to the state of overaccommodation due to narrow places (indoors), probably 21/20 or even more would have been considered as normal visual acuity. The way to run so as to overcome 20/20 is the same one that the myope must run to recover from his refractive error. The exercises are the same: muscular training and retinal defocus. |

 This disease has been found on ranches as well as in wild deer and elk. Symproms for CWD include weight loss, behavioral changes, excessive salivation, increased thirst and urination, stumbling, and trembling, and finally death. Diagnosis of CWD is based on microscopic examination of brain and tonsil tissue.
According to the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife, "Neither the agent causing chronic wasring disease nor its mode of transmission have been definitively identified but clinical disease is associated with the accumulation of prorease-resisrant prion protein. |

 The ingredients are too numerous to name, but they include exotic items like wild rambutan, wild egg fruit, Incan golden berries and many more. The mixes include names like Meditation Munchies Hunza Longevity Mix and Kieba's Island Fruit Leather Mix with Empowered Chocolate, among other interesting names.
These mixes were wonderful, but they did suffer from a melting problem (see my "melting" notes below). I liked the basic chocolate bars better. |
| Once you've tried that, venture into the wild Peanut Caramel Chocolate Bar made with raw wild organic jungle peanuts. The taste makes you feel like you've been transported right into the Amazon rainforest, surrounded by deep-rooted plant energy.
Their Ancient Wisdom Bar is sweetened with raw organic yacon syrup (which has a glycemic index of about 12, making it the ideal sweetener for anyone watching their blood sugar) and contains maca, lucuma powder and raw cacao. |
| They've got wild Jungle Peanut Butter Cups made with raw almond butter, raw ceylon cinnamon, raw jungle peanuts and empowered chocolate. The cinnamon, by the way, is yet another medicinal spice that helps control blood sugar, so it's the perfect ingredient to add to a chocolate bar.
Empowered Foods also offers Goji Jelly Cups made with wildcrafted camu camu berries (the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world) and raw Tibetan goji berries (extremely rich in antioxidants, used for 5,000 years in Chinese Medicine). |

 They were working on the integration of their two companies in early 2000 and had dinner in a Paris restaurant when, according to wild, McKinnell observed that he'd become convinced that Pfizer managers might be the best choice for key positions in the combined company. wild claimed that his Warner-Lambert executives in attendance were stunned, and took the comment as an indication that they had no future with Pfizer. "I saw a few jaws dropping," wild stated. According to Business Week, after the acquisition most of the Warner-Lambert managers left or were let go. |

| What I really do like, however, is their Chocolate Coated wild Ice Cream & Apple Bananas. Now, before you go ape nuts crazy over how great this name sounds, please remember that there's no ice cream here. It's just part of the name of the banana species, which is called wild Ice Cream & Apple Bananas because if you have a really good imagination, they sort of taste like ice cream and apples. Dip 'em in chocolate and, needless to say, they're extremely delicious. I enjoyed these so much that I went back to Empowered Foods and bought more! |

 The study, which is being considered the most thorough analysis of farmed and wild salmon to-date, found in most cases that consuming more than one serving of farmed salmon per month could pose unacceptable cancer risks. These standards for determining safe fish consumption levels are according to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Farmed salmon were found to have up to 10 times higher levels of PCBs and dioxins than wild salmon. Farmed salmon are frequently fed antibiotics, which contribute to the growth of drug-resistant bacteria. |

 The international trade in wildlife is now enormous, with hundreds of millions of wild animals and their products being transported around the world every year. The emergence of West Nile virus in North America, and AIDS and SARS globally, Cunningham points out, arose from such travel and trade in an age when "travelers can be in the middle of a tropical jungle one day and commuting to their desk in London the next. |
| Researchers found that the immune systems of flea-ridden wild rats are busy fighting off everything from germs to parasites, whereas the immune systems of lab rats had nothing major to occupy them. With no real dangers to fight off, lab rats were more likely to make antibodies that attacked substances like pollen, or the body's own tissue. In other words, the lab rats' immune systems became hypersensitive to substances that would not bother their wild counterparts. |

 Adrenal Support: wild yams contain a sapogenin called diosgenin. Diosgenin is a precursor to the hormone progesterone.61 The wild yams do not contain any hormones, but are potential precursors. Birth control pills were initially made with a chemical process using wild yam. It also contains compounds that can be made in the lab to form DHEA.
Pharmacology: It also contains steroidal saponins including diosine, diosin, dioscorin, phytosterols, alkaloids, tannins, and starch. |

 When primitive man consumed brain tissue from wild animals, he got generous amounts of DHA. Of course, the contamination of today's domesticated animal stocks with mad cow disease and other maladies has eliminated the option of eating animal brain and nervous tissue as sources of DHA. But wild game, organic beef, and grass-and pasture-fed animals have meats with more omega-3 fat than other meats available today. Many vegetarians supplement DHA produced from microalgae.
The FDA recently approved a commercially available omega-3 fatty acid supplement (Lovaza, Reliant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. |

 This is why it's a great idea to eat Brazil nuts from time to time, because Brazil nuts are the only commonly available nut that's grown wild in naturally mineralized soils. Brazil nuts are mostly wild crafted, meaning that they are collected out in nature from wild plants, and they are very high in selenium. In fact, just eating three Brazil nuts a day gives you the minimum daily requirement for selenium. Of course, selenium is a very important mineral for preventing Alzheimer's disease, preventing cancer and many other disorders. It's also a great anti-viral mineral. |

 Long explained the difference with a parable: "Imagine," he said, "you encounter a tiger in the wild, and then encounter another tiger behind its protective enclosure in a zoo." The wild tiger, he said, "is inherently dangerous." Get close enough, and it can kill you." Put that tiger behind bars in a zoo, however, and that tiger "is not dangerous at all." Chemicals, Long said, are the tigers in this equation. "It's the same thing in [cosmetic] products," he said. |

 Before then, farmers had gathered tea leaves by cutting down wild tea trees thirty feet tall and stripping the branches of their leaves. With the increasing demand for tea, the wild tea trees were in danger of being eradicated. To ensure ongoing tea crops, a group of farmers banded together to develop more effective ways to cultivate tea. They decided what kind of soil was best for growing tea plants and chose the Szechwan district as the first tea-growing area because its soil and hilly terrain met their requirements.
Demand continued to soar. |

 It's not a perfect situation, and it's true that zoo animals hardly resemble real animals in the wild, but given that 99% of the population never actually gets to "the wild," these zoos are the only chance most people get to observe these animals. It's amazing what our zoos are able to do with such limited resources.
I think the value of zoos in society is greatly underrated -- it is so important for people to maintain a connection with natural life and with animals from the wild, even if they are held in captivity. |

 Don't be misled by claims that wild yam creams are the same as progesterone creams. As an herbal supplement, wild yam can have a mild hormone-balancing effect, but it does not provide natural progesterone. Second, make sure you use a brand of cream that has enough natural progesterone in it to make a difference. Dr. Lee advises using only creams that have at least 400 mg of progesterone per ounce.
