Choosing Organic And Raw Foods - By Miranda Thompsen

Everything old is new again. Long ago food did not contain so many preservatives and chemicals and crops were not routinely sprayed with chemicals and fungicides. As the public is becoming aware of the negative effect of chemicals on them and the environment, organic foods are gaining in popularity.



Organic foods are those which are grown minus the chemicals but with the assistance of environmentally friendly and healthier alternatives. Organics are not limited to only fruits and vegetables but also include dairy products, baked and prepared goods as well. Another items that is available in organic forms are fruit juice. This is especially important as fruit juices often contain a higher concentration of chemical due to the number of fruits necessary to produce the juice. Buying organic fruit juice is a healthier alternative.



Many regular grocery stores are devoting shelf space to organic food and specialty chains focusing on only organic, health and environmentally friendly foods are opening as well. The price of these healthy alternatives is often a bit higher than standard food products as it is can be more difficult to produce a large crop of organically grown fruits or vegetables while keeping insects or critters at bay. Therefore, naturally grown produce farms are usually smaller affairs. The increase in price is a small one though when it comes to what you are putting into your body and the environment. Also, as more people decide to purchase organic, it is likely the farms and companies that produce these foods will be able to invest in providing a larger variety of foods.



Raw foodists prefer organic foods over any other. Raw foodists avoid consuming all needless chemicals in all forms. By consuming organic items the raw foodist can be assured it is free of chemicals. Raw food and organic food are not the same thing. Those who chose to eat organic foods, and avoid chemical pesticides, don’t necessarily avoid eating cooked, processed or frozen food, as does a raw foodist. For both the raw foodist and organic consumer, some items, such as grain, are still hard to find in an organic form.



It is always a good practice to wash all produce prior to eating, whether they are organic or not. For today’s consumer choosing healthier eating, or seeking to help the environment, whether it be through organic or going raw lifestyles, there are more alternatives.

Two Natural Cures That Baffled American Doctors - By Robert Fioravante

Did you know that food allergies are being permanently eliminated with a natural, energy-based treatment that takes minutes to administer. Also, emotionally crippling phobias are being cured in one simple and painless session. Both treatments have a documented success rate of about 80% and scientific research to support their effectiveness. Have mainstream American doctors commented on these astounding results? Perhaps they’ll comment when they are done anxiously scratching

their heads!



American physicians are perplexed by these treatments because Western medicine focuses on the chemical nature of the human body. Conversely, Eastern health practitioners (from East and

Southeast Asia) have focused on energy meridians for thousands of years. They understand there is a vital energy system in the body that is separate from the cardiovascular and nervous system. This ancient theory views illness, allergies, and even negative emotions as blockages along the body’s vital energy meridians.



The Allergy Cure



Most Americans are unfamiliar with energy-based medicine so we’ll need to stretch our thinking for a moment. Consider a treatment where you hold an allergen in your hand while receiving a special type of spinal adjustment. About 24 hours later, after following some simple instructions, your

allergy is gone! This amazing treatment, called NAET, was discovered in the mid 1970's by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, a chiropractor and acupuncturist from California. Dr. Devi detailed this breakthrough approach in her book, Say Goodbye to Illness, after she began successfully using it with patients in 1986.



According to NAET, when we encounter an allergen our immune systems react in a way that inflames and destroys healthy tissue. This inflammatory response creates a blockage in one of our meridians and thereby prevents the normal flow of vital energy. Thus an allergy develops. NAET unblocks the

flow of energy and trains the body to accept the previously allergic substance.



NAET practitioners report a success rate of between 80% and 90%, where allergy symptoms are successfully eliminated. Moreover, Dr. Devi has established a research foundation which found that about 2/3 of all patients experienced a resolution of their allergy symptoms within 15 to 25 visits. In my personal experience with NAET, I have usually needed only one treatment to eliminate an allergy and I’ve had over 50 different allergies completely resolved! Visit: http://www.naet.com



The Cure for Phobias and Other Emotional Problems



In order to help people with negative emotions and traumatic memories, the psychiatric profession typically has patients undergo therapy for months or even years. Sadly, many patients make little or no progress. Fortunately, a radical departure from traditional psychiatry would change these dismal results.



EFT, or the Emotional Freedom Technique, is based on the work of Dr. Roger Callahan, a California psychologist who relieved people of negative emotions by treating the body’s energy meridians. Gary Craig developed EFT, which purports that “the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption

in the body’s energy system.” Does this sound far fetched? Consider the Nei Ching, a central classic of Chinese medicine, which states that illness may be caused by negative emotions that are excessive or powerfully invoked; thus emotion can disrupt the normal flow of vital energy.



EFT does not view emotions as the “cause” of emotional trauma the way traditional psychiatry does. EFT considers a blockage in the body’s energy meridian as the cause of trauma and it get

impressive results by doing so. The procedure is simple: while focusing on their problem, patients tap (with the fingertips) precise points on their energy meridians, thereby releasing blockages that held their negative emotions in place. The procedure is repeated until no trace of the negative emotion is present. The results are astounding and have changed people’s lives in minutes.



Gary Craig claims his treatment has successfully eliminated stress, asthma, grief, phobia, anger, migraines, and even ADHD. Many clinical studies have been completed which back-up Craig’s claims. We recommend you go to the EFT site and download the free instruction manual in order to better understand this approach. Better yet, take a look at the EFT videos that show real patients eliminating debilitating emotional problems quickly and painlessly: Visit: http://www.emofree.com
