BBQ in Summer

What food grows in Summer? Perhaps that is what we should be eating.

Lettuce, berries, peas and corn, cucumbers and bean sprouts are so delicious and relaxing.

Yet we go to cookouts and eat burnt flesh that comes as a result of stealing animals from their
families, torturing them, and then gorging ourselves on them. For dessert, we eat ice cream,
which is bacteria-laden drippings from the cow’s teat, with iodine and pesticides mixed in.

No wonder we are sick.

One more batch of Sweet Veg Drink for Summer

Today I will cook Sweet Vegetable Drink for the last time until Fall.

It’s a great-tasting, hot broth that comes from water and vegetables only.

Great for the pancreas, digestion, and relaxing your mood, it’s the best thing to have in between meals.

It’s hard to get good winter squash in Summer, but it’s available one more time starting today.

Contact me if you’d like a pint–for $5 plus delivery from Framingham

When you need health, run away from the doctor

Doctors are great when you are bleeding from the eye, or get run over by a truck,
but generally, when you have a disease or a symptom, they offer little understanding
of the human body as it operates, and can do little to help you except offer a drug or a test, or when it comes down to it, a knife.

The next time you feel something in your body that does not seem right, would it not make sense to meditate on it and try to understand a potential cause?

When you are constipated for a week, yes, you will have skin problems and mood problems and a headache. That is your body imploring you to do something smart.

The doctor may give you a laxative, but you are much better off fasting for a day with water, then eating a small amount of brown rice and miso soup for a couple of days, making sure to chew well, and get plenty of exercise and water.

The cost of these drugs and tests and surgeries to our economy and environment is immense. It is a big part of our current problems.

If you have a life threatening emergency, call 911. Otherwise, look within.

Building Health When You Need To

If you feel fantastic, have no complaints at all and take no medications (in your household), stop reading.

If that is not the case, chances are your diet and lifestyle are at least slightly out of tune with nature.
Given today’s convenience-based world, it’s no surprise, and no shame. But it’s not something you
want to continue doing blindly, without some knowledge of how to build health when you need to.

Here are a few things that can benefit our bodies (things I do regularly, with excellent results)

Diet (Whole Foods, online or Asian markets)
-Eat Sea Vegetables Every Day (so many kinds, easy, use where you would add salt)
-Eat Umeboshi Plums (nature’s tums, adds great flavor, somewhat expensive but worth it)
-Eat Daikon Radish (good to digest animal foods, cooked or raw, cubed, sliced or grated)
-Eat Miso (fermented soybean/rice/chick pea paste builds proper bacteria for digestion, use in soups, sauces, stirfries, and on infections!)

Lifestyle
-Get outside for :30 every day, ideally for a relaxing walk in the woods
-Meditate for even five minutes per day. Just means you are breathing, feeling your body, connected with the Earth)
-Do a body rub daily (see our Glossary at http://davidsorganic.wordpress.com/glossary/)
-Work on your attitude–do you need to appreciate what you’ve got? Use affirmations to get more confidence? Be more gentle and loving?
-Be more open to alternative health, and taking responsibility for your own health

Building Health (one meal at a time)

The human body can take a lot of abuse, but not forever.

If you are noticing more lines, more gray hairs, more joint pain or tightness in your back, legs, neck or shoulders, chances are your insides are suffering also.

For three days, follow this easy diet and feel 50% better…

Upon waking, drink a glass of room temperature spring water
with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Think about how lucky
you are to have a life and a body, and breath the fresh morning air. Take a :15 walk outside if you can.

For breakfast, eat clear broth (soup) with a piece of seaweed (wakame or kombu; available from whole foods) and shiitake
mushroom, and a spoonful of dissolved barley miso (Whole Foods). Add a chopped scallion for a nice flavor.

Also have just a few well-chewed bites of boiled brown rice
or barley.

Have another glass of water in the mid-morning.

For lunch, have steamed carrots and a small salad, with just a bit of lemon and olive oil for dressing, with a pinch of sea salt.

Mid afternoon have some hot carrot or apple juice.

For dinner, eat whole grain noodles with stirfried veggies, using plenty of sesame oil. Try not to use nightshade vegetables, which include: spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, asparagus, peppers and eggplant.

After dinner have a real (salt, no vinegar or sugar or colors) pickle.

An hour after dinner, have a cup of green or twig tea, and do some stretches and breathing before bed.

Repeat two more days. If you need someone to help you find
these ingredients, give you recipes, or deliver these foods, please call me at 508-333-4153.

Whatever you want

Are your parents suffering from Diabetes and Alzheimers? Do you have joint problems
and poor circulation? You can reverse any condition through proper eating and lifestyle
adjustments. Tests and drugs won’t do it, and late nights and animal foods will only bring
you down faster. Give me a call today, and I’ll show you how to live better…508-333-4153

New Investigation: Dairy Farm Workers Caught Stabbing, Beating, and Punching Cows & Calves

Chilling undercover footage recorded during a new Mercy For Animals investigation exposes dairy farm workers sadistically abusing cows and young calves.

Captured on hidden camera, the shocking scenes of abuse reveal a culture of cruelty at Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City, Ohio.

During a four-week investigation between April and May, MFA’s investigator documented farm workers:

  • Violently punching young calves in the face, body slamming them to the ground, and pulling and throwing them by their ears
  • Routinely using pitchforks to stab cows in the face, legs and stomach
  • Kicking “downed” cows (those too injured to stand) in the face and neck – abuse carried out and encouraged by the farm’s owner
  • Maliciously beating restrained cows in the face with crowbars – some attacks involving over 40 blows to the head
  • Twisting cows’ tails until the bones snapped
  • Punching cows’ udders
  • Braggin g about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death

After viewing the footage, Dr. Bernard Rollin, distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, stated: “This is probably the most gratuitous, sustained, sadistic animal abuse I have ever seen. The video depicts calculated, deliberate cruelty, based not on momentary rage but on taking pleasure through causing pain to cows and calves who are defenseless.”

Immediately upon completion of the investigation, Mercy For Animals contacted the City Prosecutor’s Office of Marysville regarding the ongoing pattern of abuse at Conklin Dairy Farms. MFA is pushing for employees of the facility to be criminally prosecuted for violating Ohio’s animal cruelty laws.

The deplorable conditions uncovered at Conklin Dairy Farms highlight the reality that animal agriculture is incapable of self-regula tion and that meaningful federal and state laws must be implemented and strengthened to prevent egregious cruelty to farmed animals.

Although many of the abuses documented at Conklin Dairy Farms are sadistic in nature, numerous MFA undercover investigations at dairy farms, pig farms, egg farms, hatcheries and slaughterhouses have revealed that violence and abuse to farmed animals – whether malicious or institutionalized – runs rampant nationwide.

Compassionate consumers can end their direct financial support of farmed animal abuse by rejecting dairy, and other animal products, and adopting a vegan diet.

Why Priests Mess Up

Desire to live a pious and pure life is a great thing, but we are humans after all.

When young seminarians (ironic, isn’t it?) commit to abstaining from sex, they might not understand human biology all that well, or know what the body goes through as it ages.

As is the case with most U.S. males over the age of 30, a diet rich in animal foods creates a yang condition in the inner organs,
such as the prostate, liver, pancreas and kidneys. A natural reaction to this is a strong desire for sex, which is really the urge
to procreate to save the species. This is difficult to fight. What’s a man to do, particularly when he is not allowed to be with women?

So sometimes the urge becomes too much, and the need for intimacy, coupled with great trust and power given to these priests, creates the perfect storm for child abuse.

What can be done? As with other similar problems, whether it be bullying, domestic violence, or even hazing, we need to be honest
about human nature, and current conditions in our society. Then we need to support the victims, and the actors, with compassion, as well as the future victims and actors.

Eating a plant-based diet can help us eliminate all of these problems, through better health, and compassion for all living things.
