Cure for PMS

PMS can’t be a normal occurrence. It can’t be part of what nature intended…and now I know that our toxic world is causing it (just like cancer, alzheimers, dementia, diabetes, and all “chronic” diseases). For years I’ve looked for a way to cure my PMS, trying acupuncture and surfing the Internet for ideas. Finally, I’ve found the single most significant contributor for me: hormone disruptors in our food. BPA or bisphenol-A is a lining used in throughout the food industry in food packaging, and it interferes with our bodies’ production of hormones (hormones that we need for a natural, sane menstrual cycle).

Canned tomato products like tomato sauce and ravioli have the MOST BPA per serving because of the acid in the tomatoes and the high heat used to process the food; it causes the most BPA to leach into the food. Liquid cardboard containers have plastic ingredients that cause the same problem (like the cardboard milk and rice milk containers, which also contain aluminum by the way).

To get rid of PMS, first avoid all canned foods and liquid cardboard containers (and then all plastic containers including plastic water bottles; bottles with “2” and “7” for recycle numbers have BPA and when plastic containers heat up during storage their toxic ingredients leach into the liquids). Then eat lots of green leafy vegetables to get the magnesium, calcium and other nutrients that your body needs for a normal cycle.

Please forward this to every woman that you know so that she can make informed buying decisions. There are other sources of toxins in our environment, but from personal experience I can vouch that avoiding BPA alone has made the difference for me between PMS and no PMS.

All the crias are in!

We've had six beautiful, healthy crias born on the farm this year! More than any other year since we began raising alpacas in 2000: four boys and two girls. (We've always kept the herd small and sold the females as we went along). This year, our family has agreed on naming themes. Each year, we'll name all the crias born in that year after a favorite movie or TV series. That way we'll quickly know how old they are by their names. This year's movie is "Avatar: The Last Airbender," a children's TV series that has this year been the model of the blockbuster movie "The Last Airbender." So our magnificent crias have equally magficent and imaginative names: Katara, Toph Bei Fong, Fire Lord Ozai, Prince Zuko, Sokka, and Avatar Ang.

We've had three crias born so far this spring, two black boys and a brown girl. Here are some photos of the new arrivals...

We had a beautiful heavy snowfall late in the spring. It's strange to look at these snowy pictures in the middle of the hot summer

Cure for fibromyalgia

At a Gerson Basics Workshop in San Diego on February 19-21, 2010, Charlotte Gerson related to me and the rest of the class a first hand account of one of the patients at the Gerson approved clinic in Mexico. The patient, there for a cure of a her cancer, was cured of her fibromyalgia after only FIVE DAYS (!) on the Gerson Therapy. To learn more about the therapy read "Healing the Gerson Way" by Charlotte Gerson with Beatta Bishop. Or watch one or more of these documentaries (available on Netflix): The Gerson Miracle, The Beautiful Truth, Dying to Have Known
