Legalization may be just around the corner for Australia

New South Wales to consider allowing medical cannabis to suffering patients.

With so much data showing the medicinal benefits of cannabis, who can be against it?

     Studies all around the world have shown and are showing that the propaganda that got cannabis banned worldwide is just that, propaganda.  The basis for making cannabis illegal in the United States, where prohibition  originated and then spread outward, is the scheduling.  Cannabis is considered a schedule 1 narcotic in the U.S. which means that it is harmful and has absolutely no feasible medical value, which is now continuing to be proven false.  Ironically, cocaine is listed as a schedule 2 drug, which technically means that the government considers it to be less harmful than cannabis.  Seriously?  Yes.  So, with all the new data coming out, you would expect the old way of thinking to phase itself out, but there are still many people who consider this natural healing herb to be a harmful substance on par with drugs like heroin and methamphetamine. 

     A study out of Spain recently concluded that cannabis could be used and an effective natural treatment for cancer.  Two scientists from the San Francisco bay area also confirmed that cannabis is a powerful anti cancer.  Would you believe that there was even a U.S. government study on the effects and uses for canabinoids found in this plant that concluded its usefulness in fighting cancer?  That is the same government that created and harshly enforces prohibition of this herb based on the assumption that it has zero medicinal benefits.  

     With the recent full scale legalization in Colorado and Washington states, the debate on how to approach cannabis policy has heated up, not just in the U.S., but now other countries are reconsidering their policies regarding cannabis.  New South Wales, Australia is considering taking steps to make cannabis available to sufferers of serious diseases such as cancer, aids, and multiple sclerosis.  A NSW parliamentary inquiry committee held open hearings in March and are expected to deliver their report on the feasibility of using cannabis medically and the legal implications of doing so on may 17th.  Sally Crossing, deputy chair of the advocacy group Cancer Voices Australia, recommended to the inquiry committee that cannabis should be allowed to be used legally for medical purposes.  She mentioned the usefulness of cannabis for pain and vomiting in cancer patients and the added benefit of it causing very few mild side effects.  "There is enough evidnce, there's enough experience in other countries to say that if we do this in a sensible way, with appropriate safeguards, we can help a lot of people who are suffering, not only at the ends of their lives," said Crossing.

     Some opposition is still entrenched, and the NSW police department has expressed their concerns that cannabis use will increase if this happens.  If it is legalized for medical use, they would preffer it to be a refined extract form that can be taken as a spray or a pill rather than the original form.  All forms of cannabis are currently listed as illegal substances in NSW law, but the tide seems to be turning with more and more data from seriously ill patients who benefit greatly from using it.

Health benefits of chlorella

If its impressive nutritional profile is not enough, the healing powers of chlorella should have you searching the grocery aisles for this green superfood!

More and more people are learning about this wonder food which does many different things from anti aging to immune system support.

     The rise of modern society has brought new problems as well as breakthroughs.  Industry pushes forward and our environment becomes more toxic due to this.  Air, food, water, and even psychological pollution is rampant and has a negative effect on our physiology.  Cigarette smoke in a bar contains cadmium, a harmful substance that causes atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.  Heavy metals like lead and arsenic are present in our drinking water.  Studies also show that negative attitudes and stress cause further harm in the body.  Improper metabolism of foods and secretions from bacteria in the colon result in the release of toxins which wreak havoc in the body, causing increased aging internally and externally.  Heavy industrial pesticides on our fruits and vegetables offer a cocktail of cancer causing toxins that beat down the immune system and cause damage to living tissue wherever they are present.  Did you know that 100 years ago hardly any people died from cancer?  Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to prevent cancer and other horrible diseases resulting form our toxic environment, and most important among them is nutrition.  This is where chlorella comes in.

     One of the biggest perks that is known to come with consuming chlorella regularly is anti aging.  The fact that the cell walls of chlorella bind very effectively to toxins and "escort" them out of the body makes this super food an obvious choice for people who want to detoxify their body.  Free radicals and toxins are known to cause inflammation throughout the body when they are present in the blood stream, and it is this systemic inflammation that speeds up aging and gives rise to horrible afflictions such as cancer and heart disease.  Getting rid of these toxins is important, but it is only half the battle.  A nutritious diet can promote immune health and chlorella is an excellent source of immune boosting nourishment.  The production of critical immune components is helped along by consuming chlorella regularly.  T-cells, our body's cancer and virus killers, are crucial to immune function.  Data shows that keeping chlorella in your diet helps the body to produce more T-cells.  B-cells do battle with harmful bacteria in the body and are also produced more effectively with the introduction of chorella in our diet.  Macrophages, the body's cancer busters, also are shown to increase when this super green food is consumed regularly.  Weight problems, ulcers, seizures, asthma, cold, flu, high blood pressure, constipation, chronic fatigue syndrome, add, and ulcers are among a long list of conditions that can be treated and prevented by making chlorella part of your daily intake.

This really is a miracle food and the sooner you start eating it the sooner you will feel amazing!

Nikola Tesla - The Untold Story

Just in case you were wondering. We can get plenty of free energy with today's technology. And it's about time we start doing it the sustainable way or we may find ourselves in some serious trouble. We would just like to share with you a friend of ours Nikola Tesla. Here is his "untold" story. You won't find much of this in the mainstream reports. This is not everything... But its a great tribute to a wonderful man that has helped invent so many devices that help your every life. Without this man ... who knows where we would be.

How to turn soda cans into solar panels

How to turn soda cans into solar heating panels

Make sure to share this article with friends and family. Information is worth more than silver or gold.

Here is a natural way to make solar panels. Not so much related to health. But this is way too cool not to share. We hope this inspires a few of you.

Peter Rowan left his job as a "corporate weenie" in 2010 to live a life with less stuff and fewer expenses and with more time to pursue his dreams. Since downsizing his life, he's begun writing fiction from home (in addition to a teaching gig) so for a bit more privacy, this year he decided to single-handedly convert the family's unused garage into his off-grid writing retreat. Crafting it mostly out of repurposed materials, he decided to heat it using a home-made, recycled can solar panel.
After collecting 275 cans (soda, juice, mineral water and beer), he began to drill holes into the ends, glue them together and fit them into a box crafted from plywood and 2 by 4's. Adding a bit of black spray paint and some plexiglass, he created his home-made solar panel. He salvaged a couple of fans from an old computer to create a system for pushing cold air into the solar panel and pushing the hot air out and into his office.
In this video, Mary Rowan used her iphone to film her husband's month-long process building a solar heater with recycled cans. Granted Seattle may not be the ideal spot for solar, but Peter says that it seems to heat up the space by about 5 or 6 degrees even on a "crummy day" and when the sun is out it can provide too much heat.

Healthy sweetener: it exists!

Not just a natural sweetener, but a wonder herb all in itself!

Beware sugar free items at the grocery store.  Lowering your sugar intake is a good idea, but you must be careful to avoid toxic artificial sweeteners.  Stevia not only is without negative side effects, but it may actually make you healthier in addition to sweetening up your dessert or beverage.

     With obesity rates going up and major illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and depression being linked to sugar people are looking for an answer.  Knowledge of the harm caused by chemically synthesized sweeteners such as aspartame, which was originally formulated in a government bio weapons lab, is spreading and even some natural sweeteners like agave syrup are turning out to be not quite as healthy and safe to consume regularly as once thought.  The natural answer is stevia, a leafy plant that has been cultivated and used for centuries in South America.

     The problem for most people is the fact that stevia tends to have an aftertaste that is not suitable to the discerning pallet.  There are extracts and powdered forms of stevia that can be used instead of the crushed leaves and supposedly offer more of the sweetening effect without adding flavor.  The best feedback has been from people who use the liquid extract, which is several times sweeter than table sugar but passes very little flavor of the plant on to your food or beverage.

- Tooth decay, mouth sores, and gingivitis can be treated using stevia.  Add a few drops to your toothpaste or take a cup of room temp water and add a few drops and use it to gargle as a mouthwash.  This can be a great alternative to commercial mouthwashes that actually contain harmful ingredients and toxic flouride which can be absorbed systemically and cause harm throughout the body.

-Adding stevia to your tea or other beverages daily can potentially help with bone health and may benefit people who suffer from osteoporosis.  Tests on chickens have shown that, when given stevia regularly, egg shells from the chickens had a much higher calcium content.  It is believed that the presence of stevia in the blood stream aids in the absorption of calcuim from our daily diet.

-Applying a mask of crushed stevia leaves and coconut oil for about 15 minutes before going to sleep can help slow aging and repair damaged stressed skin.  Powerful antioxidant and antiseptic properties make for significant skin rejuvenation.

-It is believed that adding stevia to your daily routine can help to naturally lower blood pressure.

Health boosting seasonings for your food

Garlic and Onions:  These contain phytochemicals that break down fat in the body.  They also break down LDL cholesterol,raise HDL(good) cholesterol.  They even eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protect against heart disease!  Quercetin found in onions is a strong anticancer and the allicin found in garlic fights several types of cancers as well.

Turmeric:  This spice has more beta carotene than any other source.  Beta carotene is an antioxidant that helps protect the liver against free radical damage.  Turmeric also allows your liver heal while it helps the body metabolize fat by reducing the rate of fat storage in liver cells.  Several studies have shown that turmeric protects against brain damage, including diseases like alzheimer's and parkinson's.  Turmeric also has astounding anti cancer effects!

Cinnamon:  Research from the USDA showed that 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with a meal helps to metabolize sugar up to 20 times more effective!  Limiting the amount of sugar in the blood can help to curb excess fat storage and thus help to avoid other various weight-related illnesses.  The fact that it balances sugar levels also makes cinnamon useful for stabilizing mood and energy levels.





Chilies:  These delicious peppers can add a kick to any meal but did you know they also kick your metabolism into gear?  Chilies also lessen pain and inflammation in the body.  A cancer research study conducted in 2006 concluded that the capsaicin in chilis helped stop the spread of prostate cancer.

Remember that when adding some flavor to your next dish, you can add some years to your life also.
