Earth News
Earth has a message... Can you hear it?

A SOMETHING in a summer’s day,
As slow her flambeaux burn away,
Which solemnizes me.
 
A something in a
summer’s noon,

An azure depth,
a wordless tune,

Transcending ecstasy.
 
And still within a
summer’s night

A something so transporting bright,
I clap my hands to see;
 
Then veil my too
inspecting face,

Lest such a subtle, shimmering grace
Flutter too far for me.
 
The wizard-fingers
never rest,
The purple brook
within the breast
Still chafes its
narrow bed;

 
Still rears the East her amber flag,
Guides still the sun
along the crag

His caravan of red,
 
Like flowers that heard
the tale of dews,

But never deemed the dripping prize
Awaited their
low brows;

 
Or bees, that thought the summer’s name
Some rumor of delirium
No summer could
for them;

 
Or Arctic creature,
dimly stirred
By tropic hint,
—some travelled bird

Imported to the wood;
 
Or wind’s bright signal
to the ear,

Making that homely
and severe,

Contented, known, before
 
The heaven
unexpected came,

To lives that thought their worshipping
A too presumptuous psalm.

          - Emily Dickinson

Midsummer nightMessage from Bernadette Wulf

Greetings!

Now that Midsummer has passed and the days are getting shorter, we enter into the season of bountiful harvest. Are you finding luscious piles of ripe organic peaches, apricots, watermelon, cherries, and berries at your local markets? I am. What an amazingly abundant planet we live on!

This month we take a look at the gluten-free craze. We are seeing "gluten-free" labels on things that never even came close to containing gluten, like coconut water! It is starting to look like paranoia. Then we have all the gluten-free flour substitutes being promoted as healthy alternatives. But are they really much better than the original flour products they imitate?

And what if digesting gluten was all about gut health? That's what Donna Gates of BodyEcology.com tells us. Read on for more details. We also have some helpful tips for keeping your breath fresh, and then a few sweeteners that diabetics may be able to handle in moderation. On a more global scale, we take a look at the global warming controversy and what it means for us.

Enjoy the glorious days of summer and the bounty of our organic farms and gardens.

To Your Health!
Bernadette Wulf

Gluten free flour dangersIs Gluten Free Flour Really Healthy?

We all like a treat now and then, and an occasional gluten free cupcake, or spaghetti with gluten free pasta isn't going to kill us, but don't make a habit of it - not unless you want to gum up your intestines with sludge.

From bodyecology.com: "Anyone with heartburn, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Candida overgrowth, irregular bowel movements, acne, mood swings, or leaky gut must be extremely observant of their body when eating almond flour, coconut flour, or nut butters, [any kind of flour products - Ed.].

'The biggest problem we see with many gluten-free flour products is that they tend to become a gummy sludge within the intestine. This can clog up the elimination channels and slow movement within the intestine—linking them to constipation, leaky gut, and Candida overgrowth."

This doesn't mean that gluten-containing flours are any better. In fact, wheat flour can be a lot worse for most people. The problem comes with grinding anything into smaller bits than our teeth would naturally produce while chewing. Our bodies are not designed to digest flour, nut butters, smoothies, or anything else that is finely processed. We can get away with eating some of that sort of thing for awhile, but over time, it can create a layer of goo that is impossible to remove without eating a lot of fiber to sweep it away.

So, if you choose to eat flour products of any kind, always include extra fiber in your diet, and give your digestive system a break by avoiding processed foods most of the time. If you want to maintain optimal health, baked goods, pasta and other refined products should be a very occasional treat, rather than a staple of your diet.

The Truth About Global Warming

Some say that truth is a relative thing. Others claim it is an absolute. Well, when it comes to global warming, there seems to be no absolute answer. There is something really fishy going on, as you may be suspecting by now, and the issue of global warming is only one of many red flags I've seen.

The big question is, "Why?" Why are U.S. government agencies pushing the issue of global warming on us, even to the extent of having to falsify documents? What do they have to gain? And conversely, what do we have to lose?

From NaturalNews.com - "Now, in what might be the largest scientific fraud ever uncovered, NASA and the NOAA have been caught red-handed altering historical temperature data to produce a 'climate change narrative' that defies reality. This finding, originally documented on the Real Science website, is detailed here.
Is Global Warming a Hoax?
"We now know that historical temperature data for the continental United States were deliberately altered by NASA and NOAA scientists in a politically-motivated attempt to rewrite history and claim global warming is causing U.S. temperatures to trend upward. The data actually show that we are in a cooling trend, not a warming trend (see chart)."

What the heck?

I am completely in favor of eliminating pollution, planting trees, developing renewable energy resources, etc., but I don't believe that NASA and friends are distorting this evidence simply in order to promote clean energy. Could it be that NASA and NOAA are trying to take the focus away from real dangers created by the greed and power of their corporate sponsors, like GMOs, toxic agribusiness practices, the demise of bee populations, and the massive plastic mess in the ocean? Just my guess. What do you think?

Again from NaturalNews.com - "Seeing these charts [falsified chart included on article webpage - Ed.], you might wonder how the extremely high temperatures of the 1930's came about. Were we releasing too much CO2 by burning fossil fuels?

"Nope. That entire episode of massive warming and drought was caused by conventional agricultural practices that clear-cut forests, poisoned the soils with chemicals and plowed the top soil away. Lacking trees to retain moisture, areas that were once thriving plains, grasslands and forests turned to desert. Suddenly, the cooling effects of moisture transpiration from healthy plant ecosystems was lost, causing extreme temperatures and deadly drought. [Sound familiar Californians? - Ed.]

'Shortsighted agricultural practices, in other words, really did cause 'warming,' while a restoration of a more natural ecosystem reversed the trend and cooled the region."

Bottom line, this just gives us more reasons to support organic farmers by buying only organic products and avoiding meat and dairy whenever possible, thus preventing any repetition of the heat spike we saw in the 1930s. Also, we need to support industrial hemp farms that can eliminate the need to cut down trees for paper and building materials. We obviously have to keep a very close eye on government shenanigans that claim to serve us while lying outright and secretly undermining our constitutional rights.

Whether climate change or global warming turn out to be lies or truth over the long term, we already know from centuries of trial and error, not to mention common sense, that it is vitally important to protect and rebuild our topsoil, maintain a healthy balance of plants, animals, and insects, and to maintain our forests. This will only happen when enough people stop buying "conventional" produce and factory-farmed meat and dairy products

Keep your breath sweet7 Remedies for Bad Breath

Ah! Take a deep breath and feel the fresh air filling your lungs. Will it smell as fresh on the way out? Here are a few tips that can help you keep it that way:

From NaturalNews.com [Abbreviated list]-
1. Keep a clean mouth. [Brush and floss regularly - Duh! -Ed.]
2.Consider using a mouthwash that contains essential oils.
3. Rinse your mouth with apple cider vinegar.
[Be sure to flush mouth with pure water afterward. - Ed.]
4. Get rid of stress.
5. Chew fennel seeds... causes your mouth to become more alkaline.
6. Don't care for fennel seeds? How about clove or cardamom?
7. Drink green or black tea.

To find out why these remedies work, read the entire article.

If you try all these remedies and your breath still smells foul, you may have a serious digestive problem. I would suggest trying The Body Ecology Diet for a few months.

Digesting GlutenIs Gluten Really the Problem?

Gluten has suddenly become the big bad media villain that we all need to watch out for. It is hidden in all sorts of processed foods, and of course in baked goods. But why have we recently become so sensitive to it? After all, gluten has been in the diets of most cultures for thousands of years.

Donna Gates has done a lot of research on digestive health, and her conclusion is that it is a lack of healthy gut bacteria that causes us to lose the ability to digest gluten. Before the advent of antibiotics, very few people had gluten sensitivities. Now, with antibiotics being added to animal feeds, and even sprayed on fruit, most of us are bombarded with antibiotics on a daily basis. Add to that the occasional medical use of antibiotics and our gut flora doesn't stand a chance!

From BodyEcology.com - "Researchers recently discovered that healthy gut bacteria can break down the gluten grain protein. Even though the gut isn’t equipped to break down gluten, gluten-digesting gut bacteria can. The sad truth is that most of us are missing diverse gluten-digesting gut bacteria because of a wounded inner ecosystem, often caused by stress or antibiotic use."

I mentioned the Body Ecology Diet in the first article, because I have found it to be the most balanced and healing diet available, and it can be adapted to fit any lifestyle. The best thing about it is that it features lots of probiotic cultured foods that will restore the healthy flora in your gut. If you stick with this diet, over time, you will find that your digestion improves, your gut heals, and your auto-immune symptoms eventually vanish.

Safe sweeteners for diabetics5 Healthier Sweeteners for Diabetics
Need a little more sweetness in your life, but diabetes holds you back? Maybe some of these choices will give you the sweetness you crave without boosting your blood sugar too much. Of course you have to take responsibility for your own health and monitor the effect of each of these sweeteners, but you may find that you can tolerate them in moderation much better than table sugar. Here are 5 choices you may not have tried yet:

From NaturalNews.com [abbreviated - Ed.]-
1. Raw honey -- especially the darker varieties like buckwheat -- contains antioxidants that can help fight cell-damaging free radicals, as well as strong antibacterial properties.

2. Coconut sugar -- may have a lower glycemic index than refined sugars, preventing the spikes in blood sugar levels that can interfere with diabetes management and play a major role in weight management.

3. Date sugar -- doesn't dissolve well in liquids like coffee of tea, but it is great added to other foods and can even be substituted at a 1:1 ratio in recipes that call for brown sugar.

4. Molasses -- a byproduct of the white-sugar-refining process, containing all the nutrients and vitamins that are stripped away as sugar cane is refined.

5. Maple syrup -- full of calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium and iron, as well as vitamins B2, B5, B6, niacin, biotin and folic acid.

"Whether you have diabetes or you're at risk for developing the disease, or if you simply want to choose healthier alternatives to refined sugars, these natural sweeteners can provide healthier -- and tastier -- alternatives to white and brown sugars and artificial sweeteners. Try incorporating one or two into your diet and enjoy the benefits of a more natural sugar substitute. And if you've been experiencing any of the symptoms of diabetes or prediabetes, including extreme thirst, heightened appetite, major weight loss or weight gain or frequent urination, see your doctor to discuss your risk profile and talk about the tests that can help determine if you have the disease."

You may also want to try Stevia in drops and/or powder form. It will not raise blood sugar at all. A tiny bit goes a long way. Too much will leave an unpleasant aftertaste, so start out with much less than you may think you want. Stevia blends well with lemon, for a great tasting lemonade. You can also use Stevia in combination with other sweeteners, to lower your sweet treats on the glycemic index. Experiment to find out how much you can add without getting the aftertaste.
