BROWN RICE SYRUP & ARSENIC?!!

Many people consider brown rice syrup a healthy alternative to cane sugar, but brown rice syrup comes with a serious disadvantage: high levels of arsenic.
The problem is that rice used to make brown rice syrup is typically grown in regions where arsenic pesticides were heavily used before the EPA banned them in 2009. And while these pesticides are no longer used, their toxic residue is still lurking in the soil where our food is grown.

Rice appears to soak up unusually large amounts of arsenic from the soil as it grows. Much of this arsenic ends up in the brown hull, so brown rice and brown rice syrup will contain particularly high amounts of arsenic compared to products like white rice and rice starch.

Unfortunately, buying organic doesn't solve the problem. Organic rice syrup has been found to contain very high levels of arsenic, because even organic rice absorbs arsenic already present in the soil.

Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of humans in good health, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed. Physiology is literally run by our EMOTIONS. That is, EMOTIONS produce concrete chemical reactions coursing everywhere within the body. Each specific EMOTION is vibrating at a different speed and altering the chemical makeup of the body/mind in different ways.

EMOTIONS can cause ENERGY blocks in the body, and science is now recognizing that certain unexpressed EMOTIONS contribute greatly to disease in the body. Illness is a way for your body to talk back to you, but most of us are not listening. We feel pain and immediately go to a doctor to find a way to alleviate the pain, but we are only masking the symptom, not addressing the underlying EMOTIONAL issue(s). We don’t stop to remember that our mind, feelings, EMOTIONS, body and spirit are all interconnected.

To manage our EMOTIONS is not to drug or suppress them, but to understand them so that we can direct our EMOTIONAL energies in a more positive manner. We need to understand that, since EMOTIONS are ENERGY in motion, there is no way to stop or suppress them.

The only way to understand and transform these EMOTIONS is to address them by experiencing them. The negative and positive EMOTIONS are the polarity we find in all life. How can we know true joy and happiness if we have never experienced sadness and grief? When we work to suppress our negative EMOTIONS, we actually begin to suppress our positive EMOTIONS as well. Imagine our EMOTIONS being displayed on an EKG monitor. The positive EMOTIONS rise above the baseline, while the negative EMOTIONS drop below the baseline. As we attempt to suppress the negative EMOTIONS, the lines continue to drop below the baseline until eventually you do what the medical field calls "flat lining.” If this were your HEART you would cease to exist. And isn’t this what we’re doing if we are not allowing ourselves to fully feel life?

ENERGY flows along meridians in the body, and when ENERGY is blocked, a person becomes ill.

When the HEART is overwhelmed with EMOTION, it will dump excess EMOTIONS into the intestines for processing out. The intestines not only process our food but also ENERGY of the body. Many gut problems come from the intestines not being able to digest food because of the congestion of EMOTIONS. To support the intestines to digest EMOTION, eat lightly or fast, for a half a day. Place one hand on your forehead and one hand on the area just above the navel and breathe. Continue until you feel a shift.

EMOTIONS can and do help us to "wake up,” and serve as a catalyst for our self-growth. We can’t help but change for the better when we finally acknowledge what it is we are feeling and rid ourselves of stored negative emotional ENERGY. The moment we choose to step into our power and take 100% responsibility for what we are feeling at any given moment, the healing begins, as we improve our relationship with others as well as with ourselves.

Are those Stats for Real?, My Last Letter...

Hello!


There was not an ounce of intention in my last letter on doctors and cancer to offend anyone, nor did I receive any letters telling me that had been done, but.......I did feel impressed to write a short (yes, thank you - I can be short....) follow up!

Our lives are centered around helping people. We see countless people come into the store, or call us, with an array of ailments from cancer sores to cancers every month. We help as many as we can. In actuality, we do nothing, the amazing body does it all!

With the excitement of seeing so many others do great on natural protocol, it is only normal that we get excited and want to share those findings with all of you! Holistic and natural practices really work! We see it DAILY! Thus, my last letter (now on the blog) was to encourage you that there really IS an alternative.

Embrace the possibility that Mother Nature knows more than you know, and we are still discovering the endless supply of healing care the earth gives us through herbs and foods. We have respect for those in the medical community that save lives,and doctors that research and honor the oath to "do no harm". We wouldn't have two of our children if it wasn't for modern medical procedures!

Now, on to the reason I wrote this short letter.....

Statistics.

I wanted to share with you TRUE facts. These numbers were taken from numerous sources such as WHO (World Health Organization), the American Cancer Society, the American Diabetes Association, etc. It is quite impact and tangible to bring these numbers to a daily level, that's why i did so. These stats are also on the front page of our website under the title: Need a Reason to Make the Change to a Natural Lifestyle? Pick One!

Every 24 Hours (yes, every single day...):
3,000 Americans have a heart attack,
2,000 Americans die from a heart attack,
1,500 Americans die from cancer,
5,400 Americans will be told they have cancer,
5,500 Americans will be told they have diabetes,
1,200 Americans die from Medical Malpractice (A JAMA Stat),

Every 60 minutes in America 78 people are admitted into hospitals for prescription drug side effects.
Every 9 minutes in America someone is infected with AIDS,
Every 2 minutes in America someone dies from diabetes,
Every 5 minutes in America someone dies from taking prescription
drugs as prescribed.

From 1994 – 2001 American food based allergies have doubled (could this be linked to GMO’s ?)

44,000 internal memos by the FDA were court ordered to be revealed showing the documented negative effects of GMO’s (These had been withheld from the public.)

Today, in every supermarket in America, up to 90% of all foods sold contain harmful Genetically Modified Ingredients (GMO’S). (FYI: Nature's Garden does not have a single GMO ingredient in anything on our shelves.)

What you eat matters. What you breathe matters. What you put on your skin matters (all those chemicals go to the liver...)  What you do with this information matters!

Please know that our website is chalk full of good things. Please visit, check out the many new pages of information on Vitamin D,Saunas, class info, detoxing, etc.

Our family doesn’t care where you shop for GMO free organic foods and whole food supplements, or where you find vitamin D therapy, or a sauna, or anything we recommend, JUST DO IT!

And if we happen to see you at our store shopping....THANK YOU!!

YOU are why we do what we do!

To your amazing health!

Karen
