The Sad Truth About GMO Foods


GMO's are almost everywhere in America but banned in many other countries. They say that about 75 to 90% of mass produced food in the U.S. is now GMO. Studies have shown GMO's to NOT be healthy or worth the time. The false claims are that GMO's can grow larger and need less pesticide. This may be the case in SOME of the cases but not all. What usually ends up happening is Monsanto creates this new DNA strain so they can patent it and sell as much as possible to the farmers. The catch? You must buy their seed every year - if caught growing any patented plants they will sue you for all your worth - And you must use their pesticides.


 It sounds to me like this is more about control than helping feed the world. There are natural ways to keep animals and pests from eating your crops. You don't need high tech poisons that are administered with "gas masks". The people that assume GMO's are safe are usually the same ones that refuse to accept cannabis oil as a cancer cure. These people will repeat anything they see on TV as fact. The problem is that they don't know the truth. The ones that do: Keep doing what you do best. Provide solutions. Buy local. Grow your own. Cook from scratch. - You do have the time. You do have the money. It is not faster or easier to make or consume "fast food" or GMO products. Think long term. If you love your family and the future generations we must put a stop to playing god with our food.

Garlic does more than you think!

Flavor doesn't even scratch the surface:


Photo by Francesco Perito

Used in food and medicine for several thousands of years, garlic is used across the world from Asia to South America.  Though the flavor is popular, studies are now showing that natural compounds in garlic have some potent healing effects.



Allicin, the super antioxidant:  Many experts agree that the main active ingredient in garlic is allicin.  Allicin is a compound that is created when you damage the cell walls of garlic cloves by chopping or crushing the garlic.  Studies have shown that allicin breaks down and rapidly interacts with free radicals in the body helping to prevent tissue damage in people who eat it regularly.  Allicin is also believed to have powerful antibiotic properties.

Garlic for your heart:  Heavy antioxidant activity in garlic helps protect against damage to tissue and prevent heart disease, but some studies even suggest that garlic can help prevent blood clots.  What's more, eating a bulb or two of crushed garlic daily can possibly help to scrub away plaque buildup in the blood vessels and reverse heart disease.

Fight cancer naturally:  Garlic has been shown to slow the spread of different types of cancers in studies on rats.  Since garlic helps to fight harmful free radicals, it lowers the risk of cancers developing in the body.  Some studies suggest that garlic contains compounds that stimulate production of anti cancer enzymes.  Garlic oil is also believed to shrink tumors.

Garlic is truly a wonder herb.  It has antiviral properties, anti fungal properties, fights bacteria, helps with cholesterol, manages blood pressure, and greatly boosts antioxidant activity in the body.  Remember that many experts are recommending 1 to 3 cloves of garlic a day, finely minced or crushed.  Although cooked and dried garlic is shown to have some of the same health benefits as fresh cloves, the potency is no comparison and fresh pulverized garlic is the best for healing.  To maximize the healing potential and get all the anticancer benefits, break down the clove finely and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before consuming.  Mix with some olive oil and dip some gluten free bread into it for a great heart saving snack!

How To Use Garlic as a Natural Antibiotic


Garlic can be used as a natural alternative to antibiotics

Garlic has generated much interest throughout history for it medicinal uses. Crushed garlic has been proven to have antibacterial properties which kill a vast range of bacteria including, Salmonella, Streptococcus, Helicobacter pylori and MRSA.
So what makes it garlic so effective?
Allicin, is the oxygenated sulfur amino acid that is present in high volumes and is responsible for garlic's super powers.Studies have shown that by taking garlic regularly it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of becoming susceptible to harmful bacteria.
How to make the most of this wonderful plant.
For best results, eat garlic as raw as possible as cooking reduces the presence of the allicin. Adding it to salad dressings or chopped fresh and sprinkled over a meal is ideal. Although it is important to point out that eating raw garlic can sometimes irritate stomach acid if the body is not used to it.
Garlic supplements can be taken as a milder alternative and are odorless. However it is best to avoid the oil  or aged supplements and choose the powdered ones such as Garlic Powder capsules or Allicin Powder extract.
