Now you can go into a health food store or finer grocery stores and find this Nature's Way EFA Gold MacNut Oil product right on the shelf.
As always, this is not a paid endorsement of any kind. The Nature's Way company is not even aware that I'm reviewing their product here, this is simply my own opinion on a healthful product that I think people deserve to know about. Nature's Way, by the way, is also the maker of my #1 recommended whole food concentrate vitamin called Alive! |

Personally I don't attribute such vengeance to nature; nature isn't vengeful. It is, however, quite blunt... it can also be interpreted as cruel. A tiger chasing down a gazelle on the plains of Africa is savage and cruel, and yet it is part of the natural balance, the ecosystem that ultimately supports the populations of both gazelles and tigers.
It's not that nature intends to punish humanity, it's just that humanity's actions create natural effects. |

REPPED: Nature's Path has been awarded the "Best Natural Cereal Company" by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, following the Natural Products Expo West 2007 trade show in Anaheim, California. What follows is a brief review of the company:
Over many years, this natural product cereal company has proven itself an outstanding formulator of truly healthy, innovative cereals and food products. This year, they introduced a new product called Smart Bran with Psyllium and Oatbran that is simply remarkable: it offers great texture, a pleasing taste, low effective carbohydrates and whole-grain nutrition. |

The most direct way, from nature's point of view, is to get rid of the cancer that's destroying the planet. That cancer, of course, is us. Humans are, by far, the most destructive force on the planet and the greatest threat to life and biodiversity on planet Earth. It's almost like finding two fish in a fishbowl who have hatched plans to crack the bowl and drain the water out because it would make room for more fish. Silly fish, huh?
Can modern human civilization survive its own foolishness?
But humans are ultimately no different. |
| In a recent CounterThink cartoon called "Human RoundUp,", the trees march on human cities, spraying "Human RoundUp" as workers flee the campus of Monsanto, the company that manufactures RoundUp.
It brings to mind images from the Lord of the Rings, where the Ents, fed up with the evil mage Saruman's reckless destruction of nature, attacked his fortress at Isengard. (Click here to read up on the Saruman saga at Wikipedia. |
| The symbolism in this work is very powerful, and the message remains valid even in modern times: That nature is more powerful than evil men.
The acceleration of natural disasters and radical climate change
Today, as mankind continues to destroy the planet's environment and ecosystems, some rather inconvenient natural events are about to be unleashed that will no doubt severely impact human populations. It doesn't mean trees will uproot themselves and march upon our cities, of course. That's just a cartoon depiction. |
| Many natural disasters are ultimately caused by human behavior
Then we turn to the forces of nature. Consider these: The rising intensity of hurricanes (Katrina, anyone?), the devastating 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, the disruption of seasonal crop-producing rains in India, the recent cold-freeze decimation of the California citrus industry, the floods and droughts happening now on virtually every continent, earthquakes, sinkholes and volcanoes... the more you look at natural events, the more it becomes increasingly obvious that Earth changes are accelerating at an alarming pace. |
| Yet with all the advances we've been able to create, and all the apparent mastery over the laws of nature, we've really only proved that we do not have the wisdom to live in harmony with our own world. We're destroying the ground beneath our feet, and that is not an attribute of an advanced civilization.
Let's face it: Humans are infants, and we act like children in the way we deal with our home planet. Perhaps a future civilization will do better than this one, because the one we live in right now is headed for certain disaster. |

Look for "Nature's Path" products in any health food store or natural grocer.
The highlight this year is their Smart Bran product. Look for Smart Bran on store shelves soon. (I tasted a sample at the show and it was quite impressive!) Five stars, highly recommended. This is the cereal you'll find in my own pantry at home.

The most likely scenario is the continued destruction of nature, followed by a radical planetary alteration that collapses the human population bubble, followed by a period of planetary cleansing and rebalancing during which animals, plants and natural resources flourish, along with whatever remaining humans manage to survive the crunch.
It is clear that humankind, as situated today, is incompatible with sustainable living, and unless humans can somehow find a way to radically reduce their "footprint" on planet Earth, the natural consequences will be quite severe. |

It's not that nature intends to punish humanity, it's just that humanity's actions create natural effects. This is a simple cause and effect chain: if we continue to destroy the environment and terrorize the ecosystems of this planet, there are going to be consequences. Those consequences will, one way or another, ultimately bring the planet back into balance. It is humanity's decision whether that balance will include the human race.
Nature is resilient, but even it cannot be continually poisoned in the way it is being poisoned today by the actions of human beings. |
| Forget about bioterrorists -- nature is the biggest threat to human life as we know it on this planet, simply because modern human life is largely a threat to nature. Unless we learn from our lessons and find a way to honor and respect the very planet that has given us life, this planet will take it away from us.
In response to all this, you might say, "How can mankind affect weather patterns and encourage natural disasters?" It's easy: global dimming. Since the industrial revolution, we've thrown more particulate matter into the atmosphere than the largest volcanoes in history. The effect? |
| Either we learn how to respect nature, or we'll be wiped out and nature will make the adjustments for us. Because without the impact of humanity, the planet would heal itself in a mere 5,000 years, probably. And that's the blink of an eye in the lifetime of our planet. Earth can shrug off humanity without breaking a sweat. |

I'm a huge supporter of this sort of science: nature has much to teach us, and if we would have the patience to look at the solutions already provided by nature rather than trying to reinvent everything from scratch, we'd be richly rewarded for doing so. Nowhere is this more true than in medicinal herbs, where nature has already provided an abundance of disease-preventing herbal medicines all around us -- in the deserts, forests, plains and jungles of the world. And yet only around 2% of the world's plant species have even been studied for possible medicinal benefits. |

By and large, we fail to do that today, and through this failure, we as a species allow ourselves to commit outrageous acts of cruelty towards nature.
Some of the ways we express that cruelty is by polluting the rivers, streams and air with industrial wastes. We are killing the oceans through sound pollution and military sonar buoys (which is one reason why so many dolphins and whales are turning up on beaches these days). We are killing the coral by dumping toxic metals onto our crops, which creates toxic runoff that empties into the rivers, streams, and oceans. |

Raid on Nature's Way
In 1992 in Utah; the FDA seized bulk primrose oil from Nature's Way, a manufacturer that offers some of the highest-quality supplements in the business. Nature's Way filed a lawsuit to get their product returned, but was forced to remove the natural Vitamin E from the formulation, as the FDA insisted that Vitamin E had not been approved as an additive for primrose oil.
1992 - The Tahoma Clinic FDA Raid
On May 6, 1992, FDA agents joined armed King County police officers in an armed raid against the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, an M.D. and natural health practitioner. |

And yet only around 2% of the world's plant species have even been studied for possible medicinal benefits. Clearly, there are miraculous phytochemicals just waiting to be discovered and leveraged for the healing of chronic disease. Yet biomimetics is really more about the physics of nature rather than the chemistry. |

I find it interesting, because we live in a time where there's more disease, more illness and more people looking for answers; but, always in nature -- it's like God has set it up this way -- the answer is always there when the problem is created.
Mike: nature has the wisdom, and it has the answers. Ask the questions and let nature give us the answers, because they're always found there, especially in plants.
Wolfe: I feel like I run my life by a saying a phrase that I feel is exceptionally valuable -- and that is, "God is always talking to you. |

A big thing that I'm into is just wild eating what's out there in nature. You don't want to be eating what's growing out of the sidewalk, but if you are in a rural area, you can find so many edible things out there that you'll never worry about starvation.
Mike: So it's a good time to start getting close to nature, and realizing some of these gifts that Mother nature can provide to us.
Wolfe: Mother nature is always just giving, giving, giving, all the time. |

A true scientist runs experiments, or asks questions and tries to get nature to provide some answers.
But modern doctors, medical researchers, drug company executives, and FDA bureaucrats think they've conquered nature. They have egos so big it's amazing they can walk through doors. They think they are better than nature. They think they can overtake the nature of your body, overriding the chemistry. They think they can run your immune system, or that they can declare war on your body, attacking it with chemotherapy, radiation and other highly toxic therapies. |
| They think they're smarter than nature.
They think they can take a plant out of nature, synthesize a molecule, and make it better. And then they can patent it and own the intellectual property, suing anybody else who tries to create the same molecule, even though nature has been creating the natural version of that molecule for eons. This is what the people in organized medicine think. They think they're the smartest people in the universe -- smarter than Mother nature, smarter than God. And in fact, they're going to play God with your body using weird, freaky gene therapy experiments. |

Mike: So it's a good time to start getting close to nature, and realizing some of these gifts that Mother nature can provide to us.
Wolfe: Mother nature is always just giving, giving, giving, all the time. My feeling and my experience is that balance begins with the right kind of nutrition and essentially, part of our diet should be raw food or natural food from the earth that has not been tampered with and therefore, we're connected to the earth directly.
Mike: You mention nature's balance here, and I want to take that one step further. |
