My Country

Did you know that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are based on the concepts of the Iroquois Confederacy of Nations? 

 That’s right, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were both big fans of the Indians, even though Jefferson was actually very cruel towards them; white man envy, I suppose.

 Resolution H. CON. RES. 331 dated October 21, 1988 was passed by Congress making it official, giving the Indians credit where credit is due.

Loving the Brothers & Sisters South of the Border on Independence Day

I found myself in Southern California recently.  I was ecstatic because I just love the Mexican food found in San Diego.   It’s like no other that is served here in the States.  I had lived there years ago, and fell in love with the Mexican culture as well. 

So as soon as the wife and I saw the sun set upon the Pacific Ocean, we found ourselves feeding our need for some good spicy food.  We stumbled upon a small Mexican restaurant not far from the beach.  My wife ordered two beef tacos, and I had ordered two carne asada (steak) tacos, and I ordered a pineapple drink.  The wife ate one of my tacos and I ate one of her tacos, and I took three sips of the drink that I had ordered.

The reason I only took three sips of that delicious pineapple drink was because I had become suspicious when our hostess  took my cup into the back of the kitchen while making sure the double swinging doors behind her were shut completely.  Then she brought my glass back out and placed ice in the cup and then filled it with the pineapple juice. 

Within five minutes of leaving the two tabled Mexican taco shop, my stomach was cramping and I had to use the toilet bad!  Like right now!  My wife, who didn’t touch the drink at all, was fine.

I didn’t turn our hostess into the police or anything like that.  I simply left the drink sitting full on the table so she would know that I knew what she did.  My reasoning for not turning her in stems from the knowledge that hate and anger only produce’s more hate and anger.

Although the truth is unknown to me as to why this young Mexican girl put something in my drink, I can’t help but feel that her aggravation is a result of the Trump hate.  After all, I am white, and I’ve been told that I have a Southern draw of sorts, and Southern states are known to be red (Republican) states. 

The Southern Poverty Law Center reported 867 incidents of hateful intimidation and harassment within ten days after Trump won the election in 2016.  And it seems to swing both ways.  CNN reported that two men in Connecticut were arrested over assault charges against a Trump supporter, in December 2016.  In February 2017, Politico New York reported 56 hate crimes in New York City in comparison to last year’s figures of 31. And even more recent was the “Baseball Shooting,” in which Republican’s were targeted. 

Somebody’s got to say, “Hey, the hate stops here.” 

I plan to share this article with the Mexican girl who felt the need to poison me, along with a picture of me standing with a group of Mexican Immigrants in protest to Trump’s wall this past February, here in Pensacola, Florida.  I do this with the hope that maybe I can leave her with the understanding that not all white American’s are hateful pigs.  But even more importantly, I hope my gesture of forgiveness and love are reflected through her.  If hate can spread, love can too.

 

 

 

 

THE HEALTH BENEFITS FROM EATING MEXICAN FOOD—I have found that when I’m not feeling well, Mexican food makes me feel better.  And there is actually some evidence to support my body’s desire.

 

Jalapeno Peppers can provide relief from migraine headaches, relieve congestion, and is accredited for strengthening blood vessels by making them more elastic and better able to adjust to blood pressure.

 

Cilantro is a strong anti-oxidant that can prevent cardiovascular damage.  It also assists in sleep quality, and has been shown to have anti-anxiety effects. It lowers blood sugar while lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases HDL (good cholesterol), and is well known for cleaning the body of toxic metals.

 

Cayenne Pepper is great for the entire digestive system. It has been said that one teaspoon of cayenne pepper in cup of hot water can stop a heart attack in three minutes.  In addition, cayenne pepper is said to kill cancer cells.  And it rids the body of LDL (bad cholesterol), as well as providing relief from arthritic pain.

 

And a shot per day will keep the doctor away.  Tequila is beneficial for the intestines.  It assist in the absorption of fat and it feeds the good bacteria that lives in the intestines.  It lowers bad cholesterol and it is diabetic friendly, containing less sugar than whiskey, rum, brandy, etc.  And tequila can even assist in weight loss.  It helps the body absorb calcium that in turn burns fat. 

 

So Cheers! And thumbs up to our brothers and sisters south.  Thank you sharing your spicy healing, feel good food with all of us.  Gracias!

On The Road (Etiquette)

I’ve spent eleven days traveling between Florida and the Western United States, and one of the things I took note of was the signs.  When you enter Texas, you’ll see signs saying, “Drive Friendly;” and the other sign that caught my eye was use the left lane ONLY to pass other vehicles.  Both of these signs seemed to really have an impact on the manner in which people shared the road.  Even myself!  As soon as I seen the drive friendly sign, I felt some kind of relief, and it turned out to be a pleasant to drive though Texas.  People didn’t dill dally in passing lane, and some would even tap their breaks and fall behind the car they were slowly attempting to pass just to allow people like me to make my way pass them, without disengaging the cruise control. 

Yet when we were returning to our Gulf Coast home, the closer we got to the Louisiana state line, the ruder the driving became.  There were more cars in the passing lane than those who were being passed.  And most times we were lucky to be going the speed limit, let alone anything above that.  And then it occurred to me, was it the friendly signs that made the difference?  Do people actually need a sign to remind themselves of the rules of the road? Like get the fuck over if you’re not passing another vehicle at the moment?

If you’re one of those people who talks to others in your rearview mirror and your thoughts are along the lines of, “I’m going the speed limit, and if they don’t like it they can kiss my ass,” then you’re just plain rude.  Be courteous.  Give it a little extra gas and pass, or tap that break and fall behind the car that you are apparently having trouble passing in the first place. Do you really need a road sign to tell you how to be?

If you’re going the speed limit, then good for you, but not all of us or our vehicles are calibrated the same way.  When I’m traveling distances, I use my cruise control.  The cruise on my Ford Explorer doesn’t seem to float up and down like the one on the rental car we used on this latest trip.  We rented a mini-van and to compensate for the lousy cruise control, we would set the cruise for five mile over the speed limit.  So when we were traveling down hill, we were cruising, but if we were climbing a mountain, then we were lucky to be doing two miles over the speed limit. 

So as you see, there are reasons why we’re not all traveling the same speed limit.  And if I am speeding, it’s none of your business.  I didn’t count the cops we passed on our 4,751 mile journey, but I can say we didn’t get a ticket doing 80 in a 75, or 85 in an 80 mile per hour zone. 

We have signs here in Florida too.  They say, “Arrive Alive.”  When you’re impeding traffic, the people behind you are getting angry.  This is why road rage is now a part of our American vocabulary, and why we have signs that say arrive alive. 

In 1990 I had relocated from Southern California to Columbus, Ohio.  At that time in my young life, I carried a pistol in my pick-up truck, due to the freeway shootings in California.  It had become a habit. 

Well one day this guy in front of me at an intersection blew off our green light to allow traffic from the other direction to turn in front of us.  It was a hot summer day in afternoon rush hour traffic. Maybe he thought he was doing a good thing.  Yet he didn’t have any concern for those of us behind him, who sat through two lights. 

I beeped my horn in frustration. Who knows, maybe he had fallen asleep?  I’d say maybe he was having car problems, but his foot never left the brake.  Anyway, he gets out of his car with an angry look on his face, and I flash him my pistol.  He then returns to his car and drove on when that light turned green a third time. 

That was the last time I ever carried a gun in my vehicle, and why I am so against allowing people to have concealed weapons permits.   If that man hadn’t gotten back in his car, I may have shot him.  I had become the person whom I was protecting myself from.  Road rage, it happens that fast and that sudden.

A.M. rush hour in Columbus, Ohio – a man in a utility pick-up truck gets angry and tries to run me off the road in my Ford Probe.  We’re on the outer-belt doing about 70 miles per hour.  He runs his truck into my car and tries to push me into bumper to bumper traffic to my right.  No shit, I’m on two wheels.  He was pissed off because I knew the traffic patterns and got around the traffic and was passing him in the middle lane . . . with a smile on my face.  (I might have even waived at him too).

Maybe I shouldn’t have smiled, but hey, who would have thought he would use his big ass pick-up truck as a weapon?   You never know who’s in that car or truck behind, beside or in front of you; they may be just that angry and bat-shit crazy enough to cause physical harm, if not death.

Be nice.  Be nice on the road like you are when you’re in church.  Better to drive with love than to be the source of anger and frustration.  Ride on!

Chemo Kills! Victory Over Cancer!

The Pulse of Natural Health Newsletter reported that a recent analysis found that cancer drugs are themselves killing up to 50% of patients within thirty days, indicating that chemotherapy was the cause of death, not the cancer. Of course, chemotherapy can kill patients over the long-term as well.

Cancer drugs can cost up to $10,000 per month for patients.  Big Pharma isn’t going to give up its cash cow anytime soon.  You might want to rethink giving money to the National Cancer Society.  Its pretty clear that the health profession chooses profit over cancer.

Gulf Breeze, FL  resident, Joseph Marx shares his , “Victory Over Cancer!” (Volume One:  How To Take Control And Live) in a book available on Amazon.  He had a very aggressive cancer and had been given only a 17% chance to live.  In an interview with WEAR TV (Feb. 2017) he said he rid himself of the tumor by simply changing his diet. 

The cancer came back a second time. This time he agreed to having the surgery but refused chemo.  The doctors told him he would most certainly die without the chemo.  This time Mr. Marx found that if you restrict methionine (an amino acid) from your diet the cancer dies.  Methionine is found mainly in meats, fish and dairy products.  Mr. Marx’s cancer has been in remission for 9 months.  

His book is number one on the Amazon cancer book list.

The following facts and figures were published in the May 2017 AARP Bulletin:

American’s spent $457 billion on prescription drugs in 2015.  That is an 8% mark-up over the previous year.

There was a 208% increase for the most popular name brands from 2008 to 2016.

$14.5 million was the average salary of a CEO of a pharmaceutical firm; more than any other industry. 

The pharmaceutical industry spends $6.4 billion in direct advertising within the United States annually.

Another $24 billion is spent per year marketing to health care professionals.

There are approximately 18,130 approved prescription drugs available in the U.S.

49% of American’s have used at least one drug in the past 30 days.

19% of American’s say they skip or cut a drug in half in order to keep cost down.

Drug companies spent approximately $19.8 million on politicians in 2016.

Global Data, an analysis research company revealed that 9 out of 10 pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than on research.

 

In 2016, the pharmaceutical industry was credited $1.76 billion in orphan drug tax credits.  As a result, only 5 of the top 50 drug companies spend money on researching “much-needed” new antibiotics, because they are not as profitable, as orphan drugs.  Orphan drugs often receive approval as a treatment for other conditions and are often used for chronic conditions that span over a lifetime, whereas antibiotics are only used for a couple of weeks until the infection goes away.

  

Unfortunately, no man-made laws are being broken, even though people are clearly being forced to choose between food, a roof over their head, or their health.   But a spiritual violation does exist and should be a concern for all human beings regardless of your current health status.  Learn more at:  aarp.org/lowerdrugcosts

 

 

 

Healing Ovarian Cysts (Endometriosis) Nature's Way

The following formula was taken from Humbart Santillo’s book, “Natural Healing With Herbs – The First American System of Herbology

1. Internal:  Cut cotton in pieces two inches by four inches.  Lay them on top of each other until you have a small pile about one inch high.  Tie a string tightly around the middle and leave one end about ten inches long loosely hanging.

      Go to a drug store or herbal pahramcy and purchase “ichthammol,” (a black salve) and vegetable glycerine. Health food stores will usually carry glycerine.   Mix two teaspoons of ichthammol and two teaspoons of glycerine together in a cup or small pan.  (Use more of this mixture if needed).  Soak the cotton in this mixture thoroughly and insert it into the vagina up to the cervix, leaving the long end of the string hanging out.  Wear a heavy cotton cloth or sanitary napkin over the vaginal opening so the mixture will not leak on your bed clothing.  

      Follow this procedure five nights weekly before bed and remove it each morning by pulling slightly on the string.  This will draw out the infection and help shrink fibroid tumors and ovarian cysts, or other growth that are in the uterus.  I have seen a fibroid tumor completely disappear in one month that was so large it blocked the colon and inhibited bowel movements.

      Douche in the morning with an infusion made from equal parts goldenseal and myrrh. Make a quart of this tea and add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. 

      This procedure is also good for chronic vaginitis, and other vaginal and uterine infections.

 

      Note:  If ichthammol black salve cannot be found, make a poultice out of equal parts of slippery elm powder, white oak bark powder and enough water and French clay to make it of thin consistency.  Mix the cotton layers in this and follow the above directions. 

2. Internal:  Mix the following:

1 part licorice root

1 part prickly ash bark

2 parts chaparral

3 parts pipsissewa

1 part cramp bark

1 part helonias root (false unicorn)

1 part saw palmento

1 part red clover

 

Mix the powdered herbs in a blender and put them in #00 capsules.  Take two, three times per day.

3. External:  Put a castor oil pack over the ovaries four consecutive nights per week.  Before applying the castor oil pack, rub poke root oil over the ovary that is affected, then apply the pack.

It is important to use a cleansing diet, followed with a short fast and a vegetarian diet, deleting meats, fish, fowl and all dairy products. 

 

 

A Natural Remedy For Healing Breast Tumors

Breast are sacred.  They are positioned over the heart symbolizing unconditional love.  They are soft and nurturing; their roundness symbolizes the circle of life. 

 

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for women.   The National Beast Cancer Foundation, Inc., estimates that one in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer; it is the second leading cause of cancer in women. 

 

Women, we are the life givers and the healers.  It seems only natural to turn to the Earth Mother for assistance when battling this dis-ease. 

 

(The following information came from Humbart Santillo BS, MH, in his book Natural Healing With Herbs – The First American System of Herbology, 1991)

Keep the bowls clean with herbal laxatives or enemas.  Three to seven day fast can be used, alternating with a vegetarian diet.  Do not use dairy products, fried foods, heavy starches or high protein foods.  Keep the diet simple and use cleansing foods.

INTERNAL: Chaparral tablets are excellent- two tablets four times daily.  Sassafras, red clover, chickweed and burdock root are good teas to drink to cleanse the blood along with the chosen formula.
 

Homeopathic silica is excellent for all tumors and swelling caused from a toxic lymphatic system.  Silica is found in plants, usually in the stalks or grains or grasses.  Hepar. sulph. 4x should be used first. to encourage the elimination of pus.  Silica will promote the healing process.  It is excellent for all suppurations (discharge of pus).  Take five tablets of 12x five times daily.
 

EXTERNAL:  Use hot and cold water packs over the tumor to bring circulation to the breast.  Exercise to maintain good circulation.  Skin brush daily.
 

Prickly pear cactus (optunia species) makes an excellent poultice for sore breast.  Slash the leaf and apply the pulp over the swelling.
 

Combine clay and macerated cabbage leaves and mix together with powdered flaxseed and water.  Make a thin paste, add a pinch of cayenne and spread on a linen and apply.  This can stay on for several hours.
 

Make a drawing, soothing poultice using equal parts of powdered plantain leaves, comfrey leaves, lobelia.  Mix these leaves with wheat germ and castor oil to a thick consistency.  Spread it ¼ inch thick on a linen and apply to the tumor.  Keep this on from four to six hours daily. 
 

Ichthammol and vegetable glycerin mixed together in equal parts as a poultice is very good for all tumors.  Ichthammol is found in drug stores.
 

Soak a cloth in castor oil and place inside a bra.  This can be worn during sleep or daily activities.  Poke root is also excellent for this.  Poke root tincture is a powerful lymphatic cleanser for all tumors and swelling.  Take five drops in ½ cup of water three times daily.
 

The Red Clover Combination carried by Nature’s Way Products is similar to Hoxey’s formula which is used for most of his cancer patient.  Take four tablets three times a day.
 

The tumor may get larger at the very beginning of detoxification, simply because there is so much toxic poison being released by the cells.  This is not a time to panic; once the body gets cleaner and the organs can handle the waste elimination, the tumor will shrink.
 

It is important to use a low sodium, high potassium diet so the fluids will not be held up in the tissues. 

 

Chlorophyll enema implants are very important during this therapy.  Use wheatgrass or parsley juice freshly squeezed.  Drink two to four ounces  of liquid chlorophyll juice mixed with water taken straight or with juice (celery or apple) twice daily.
 

St. John’s wort oil or a salve made from this plant applied daily to tumors, swellings, bruises and caked beasts is excellent.  The tincture, ten to fifteen drops three times daily, can be taken internally.
 

It is very important to keep the iodine level of the blood normal for both the thyroid gland and tissues to have proper cell oxidation.  Eat plenty of seaweeds and take kelp or dulse capsules daily.

Women & The Month of May

Since 1987, the month of March is considered National Women’s Month here in the United States, but truth be told May is a far better choice.  Mother’s Day is in May, and Catholics celebrate the crowning of the holy Mother Mary in May.  It’s spring time!  A time of birth; only a woman can take a seed and grow a human life, without test tubes.  And we all know that it wasn’t a woman who designated Women’s Month in the windy month of March. 

 

The United Nations has sponsored International Women’s Day since 1975.  Nationally, In 1980, Jimmy Carter gave us a week (the week of March 8th).  From there it took six years for the National Women’s History Project to persuade Congress to expand the day throughout the month. 

It seems to me that the scales are still tipped towards masculinity in the U.S.  There are 535 people in Congress; one hundred of those make up the senate.  Currently in the 115th Congress there are 21 female senators, that’s 21% of the senate, and that’s an all time high. 

 

 A far cry from equality, because we are not represented!  We only have a 21% say in how this country conducts itself.  Currently, there is no love in the national collectiveness.  We are a far cry from being at peace with each other, let alone the rest of the world. 

 

Sisters, we have got to step up! We are the caregivers, the givers of life, the love makers, peacekeepers and the nurturers.  We are spring; we are May flowers and the time has come to sprout and unleash our power upon the world.  Don’t be small and still—be royal! 

 

 

According to WIKIPEDIA there have been a total of 50 women who has served as senators, since 1789. 

 

The first woman senator was Rebecca Felton, in 1922.  She was a senator for one day.

 

The first woman elected to the Senate was Hattie Caraway, in 1932. 

 

14 of the women who served were appointed; seven of those were appointed to succeed their deceased husbands.   

 

Since 1978 there has been at least one woman in the Senate.
