Suzanne Somers Diet Rules





Losing weight after 40 is a challenge for women. It's about hormones, food intolerances, the toxins we're exposed to and our body storing those toxins as fat, as well as probiotics for a healthy gut.

Hazards, Myths, and Science of EMFs: Oram Miller Interview Part-1/3 [HD]



Reposting this because I forgot to add comments after watching. Oram Miller says your router and cordless phone base, for example, are always on, so they are like ash trays with burning cigarettes filling the room with smoke.

Martin Black in his book, "Overpowered" did a study on the effects of cell phone transmissions and found that EMFs cause DNA damage and we don't know if the damage if reversible.

Headaches, numbness, tingling, ringing in the ears, brain fog, memory loss are among the problems caused by EMF exposure. Cell phone companies in the US cannot be denied permits based on health concerns alone. Cell towers have been declared part of our national infrastructure, so they are not under local control.

Your plug on your computer needs to be three-prong so it's grounded. An ungrounded computer gives high electric field and can make you tired.

Miller says all smart meters are bad (all digital electricity-reading meters). They all send out a day's worth of data once or twice a day to get your power usage information to the electric company. What they don't tell you is that signals with no data are sent out 24/7 to keep the system healthy. That means a constant EMF exposure on everyone in the home. 

Buy a Smart Meter Guard. Miller says they work by reducing rad levels up to 98%. But the electric company will still get a signal and their information. That's how much overkill these meters are producing. Miller says the "smart" grid was named smart to make it sound good to us, but it is a flawed technology that has health consequences.

This Panda Is Dancing - Time Well Spent

Walnuts reduce hunger and cravings by changing your brain

Walnuts reduce hunger and cravings by changing your brain: Researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have found that walnuts can "trick" your brain into feeling full by activating an area in the brain that regulates hunger and cravings. The study, published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, is the first of its kind to direct

Senator Richard Pan is pushing a bill that would make it a “crime” for anyone to question vaccines: Fake News. The term that didn’t even exist five years ago has now become everybody’s favorite way to suppress free speech. The latest person to jump on the censorship bandwagon is California’s Senator Richard Pan, the very same politician who has already done untold damage by mandating vaccinations

Sadly, strawberries are at the top of the list of most highly sprayed fruits. Get to know the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15.

Here’s how to stock your “food pharmacy” and use food as medicine to fight off common health concerns

Here’s how to stock your “food pharmacy” and use food as medicine to fight off common health concerns: Most of us have been stocking food in our cupboards for as long as we can remember. It's not just us: People have been doing it for centuries, mainly so that they have ready access to food when they need it.

However, there's also another reason why they store food: To use it as medicine

THREE GENERATIONS OF MOMS



The white-haired lady on the left is my Nana. Her name was Clara and she lived to be 102. I miss her gentle answers to life's problems. "You just come," she said when I needed a place to stay just before I got married. 

I remember her hands always being busy, either peeling an apple for me or cutting pot pie dough into squares, hanging wash or holding her Bible. She had a kind heart that gave without thinking how it might affect her. Her faith led her to help first and worry about the details later. 

I'd like to think that I learned about kindness from my Nana. I have a low tolerance for unkind people and I'll be the first to defend someone who's being bullied. But I try to remember the old saying, "hurting people hurt people."

The dark-haired woman beside my Nana is my mom. Her name is Charlotte. That looks like a knitting needle in her hand. She can create just about anything. Decorated cakes, dresses for us, dolls, quilts, jewelry, curtains, upholstered furniture...the list is ongoing. She's still creating. When I visit her I always ask to see her latest creation. 

She turned an old piano into a table. I'm amazed by her creativity. My daughter has that same creative spark. It must have skipped a generation. I can draw, paint and write, but that's about it. I tried to learn knitting, cake decorating and jazzing up old furniture. No success stories to share.

The girl next to my mom is me. I think I'm eating a cookie. I still find cookies comforting. My Nana had a cookie jar that I often had my hands in. I grew up to be a mom of two children- a son and a daughter. 

I made a lot of mistakes as a mother, but when I look at my children and their personalities, I realize that I must have done something right. We are hard on ourselves as women. We do a lot of comparing, and we don't see our own good qualities. Most women are far more amazing than they give themselves credit for.

The other girl to the right of the photo is my sister, Dee. My brother, Eric is in the middle. Dee is a talented artist. She has an artist's soul. She feels things deeply and is easily moved. She has one daughter, who inherited her mom's artistic talent.

These are the amazing moms in my family, and it is okay to call yourself AMAZING if you're a mom. Carrying life, giving birth, and raising a child are difficult tasks. No female accomplishment is more impressive to me. Our bodies can grow babies and our hearts teach them to be good people. What contribution is a bigger world changer?

Happy Mother's Day.

LEMON DANDELION COOKIES with lemon essential oil

After making lemon dandelion cookies, I won't think of a dandelion as a weed. These cookies are yummy. Every part of the dandelion is edible including the root. Dandelions are high in vitamin A, B, C, D and K. They contain potassium, zinc and iron. You can make a tea with the root that is very healing as a mild laxative and a digestive aid.

Dandelions help kidneys clean waste, they are high in antioxidants, they help manage cholesterol and boost immune function.  Here's the recipe.




1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup agave, honey, maple syrup or sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1/2 cup dandelion petals (only the yellow flower, no green  or stems)
10 -12 drops Young Living lemon essential oil

Bake at 350 on pan well coated with coconut oil for 10-12 min.

Lemon oil is one of 11 oils in the Young Living premium starter kit, which comes with a diffuser. It's great to have on hand for baking or cooking when you need a lemon flavor.

Stop Poisoning the Immune System: Heavy Metal Cleanse



According to this, I have some changes to make. White sugar, white flour, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, stress and chemicals in personal care products and home cleaners negatively affect the immune system.

He warns about cooking with aluminum foil and using aluminum containers to cook and store food. I drink seltzer from aluminum cans. I guess I have to look for glass bottles of seltzer. Good luck with that. 

He also warns about the curly-q light bulbs that contain mercury gas. If they break they release mercury gas in your home. I knew about that and I don't buy them anymore. I have enough mercury in my mouth from fillings when I was young. I don't need more in my light bulbs.

Well, at least I'm not using toxic makeup, personal care products or toxic home cleaners. I replaced every cleaner in my home with Thieves household cleaner and I either make my own personal care products with essential oils or I buy them from Young Living. And with their new makeup line, I'm slowly switching to non-toxic makeup. 

He recommends 3 drops of Young Living Juva Cleanse twice a day and 4 capsuls or two teaspoons of Sulfurzyme (powder) with lime oil and Ninja Red as a heavy metal cleanse. 

Since Sulfurzyme is no longer available at YL. We buy MSM sulfur products at herbalhealer.com

Since then, numerous studies have confirmed that the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation emitted by cell phones can indeed cause anomalous cell growth and cancer, according to a Waking Times article.

Are you a slave to your phone? Happiness researchers explain how social media is making you unhappy

Are you a slave to your phone? Happiness researchers explain how social media is making you unhappy: Many things aren't what they used to be because of social media. We don't talk to each other often anymore, because we'd rather check our mobile phones even if we're seated at a table with friends and family. So everyone ends up reaching for their mobile phones as well.

DIY natural bleach alternative

DIY natural bleach alternative: You might want to skip the store-bought bleach if you're looking for effective cleaning products.

Most store-bought bleaches contain harmful chemicals. They may even contain toxins that can damage the environment. 

I use lemon essential oil in this recipe, and I sometimes make it stronger by reducing the amount of water.

Court ruling confirms Gardasil vaccine kills people… scientific evidence beyond any doubt… so where is the outcry?: May God bless the Tarsell family, who fought the U.S. government eight long years to validate a medical burden of proof that the Gardasil vaccine killed their daughter. The Tarsell’s 21-year-old daughter Christina Richelle “died from an arrhythmia induced by an autoimmune response” to Gardasil, an H
