How Alkaline Diet

Supercharges

73 Year-Old

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

Introducing Chef Sal

It’s really strange to see a 73 year-young man who is muscular and has black hair. Though he’s lived in the US for over 4 decades, he still reveals his European accent, having grown up in Amsterdam during World War II. Exiled on a farm, he fell in love with the fresh farm produce and has ever since made the best of fresh, whole foods the center piece of his diet and recipes. Chef Salomon Montezinos is extra-ordinary.

Raw and Alkaline

The recipes he prepares are also quite unusual. They’re raw and alkaline. In fact, he helped pioneered this culinary combination. Following this diet himself has helped him outperform his senior peers – exercising 4 hours a day by weight-lifting, biking, running, and performing yoga. In addition, not only can he swim a mile-plus in the pool, after other exercises, but he swims in alkalized water. He does not bathe in unfiltered tap water either, which he also alkalizes with a filter. Chef Sal implores that if he cannot drink it, he will not put his body in it.

Indeed, alkaline water is found throughout Chef Sal’s house. After exiting the pool, he often re-energizes with alkaline water from the custom-installed machine in his fridge. He appreciates too well the extra kick of energy it gives.

Chef Sal’s Work Schedule

As strange as it is to see this 73-year old swim for an hour, it is striking to watch him also work a 12+ hours shift preparing raw alkaline meals. He credits his system for keeping him so young, fit, and energized. After all our bodies are 60 percent water and the brain contains even more, namely 70 percent.

Living Proof

Chef Sal exemplifies the alkaline lifestyle. He has thus developed a following, as more people let go of conventional health paradigms.

If You Eat, You Better Occupy Wall Street

If You Eat

You Better

Occupy Wall Street

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) The recent destruction of the American people’s way of life began more than 30 years ago when the Reagan administration crafted deliberate policies that stopped enforcement of antitrust laws at the Department of Justice. This encouraged vast corporate mergers. It launched an assault on common sense government and its oversight.

Since that time, politicians  have undermined public welfare and embraced the radical notion of “free” markets to feed corporate greed, and without accountability.

Occupy Wall Street Movement

Occupy Wall Street was born out of a legitimate frustration with this collusion between Big Business and our elected officials in a supposed representational democracy.

Corruption of our Food

Nowhere is that collusion greater than in the field of food and agricultural production where

  • Four firms control 84 percent of beef packing,
  •  66 percent of pork production and one company
  •  Monsanto, controls patents on more than 93 percent of soybeans
  • Monsanto controls the patents for 80 percent of corn grown in the U.S.

Ironically, on the day that Occupy Wall Street launched, Dave Murphy who crafted the seed ideas for this article was in San Francisco at a conference named “Justice Begins with Seeds”  and to discuss the problems of excessive corporate control over our food supply!

The incredible growth in the use of genetically modified (GMO) seeds and the excessive corporate influence of biotech seed companies have in Washington was high on the agenda. Much like the ubiquitous credit default swaps of the mortgage crisis, which became toxic assets for the global economy, this new technology of GMO seeds is less than two decades old, but already appears in an estimated 75 to 80 percent of processed food that Americans eat everyday.

Statistics of GMO Food Monopolization

In 2011, an estimated 94 percent of soybeans, 88 percent of corn, 90 percent of cotton, 93 percent of canola and 95 percent of sugar beets produced in the U.S. contain GMOs. And since most items in the grocery store include common ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils made from corn, soybeans, cottonseed and canola, with 8 out of every 10 bites of processed food, Americans are consuming genetically engineered foods without knowing it.

Despite a recent Reuters poll showing that 93 percent Americans support mandatory labeling of GMO foods, politicians in Washington and Monsanto lobbyists have so far blocked this basic right.

Even now, more than 50 countries around the world require labeling of GMOs, including citizens in the European Union, Japan, Russia and even China.

Political False Promises and Lies

Food Democracy Now! recently released an exclusive, never before seen video taken in 2007 of then Senator Barack Obama promising a room full of more than 400 Iowa farmers and rural activists that if elected he would immediately work to label food that “has been genetically modified because Americans should know what they’re buying.”

Incredibly, President Obama made this comment during the Iowa caucus, in a mostly rural state with a leading agricultural economy, which he won by a wide margin and helped launch him to the White House. With the national conversation now raging about corporate influence it’s curious that he hasn’t kept his promise since taking office.

In another portion of the speech, more widely circulated, Obama offered the hope that his administration would differ vastly from the administrations before him.

“For far too long, you’ve had to listen to politicians tell you one thing out on the campaign trail, and then close the door and do another thing in Washington when they make rural policy. You’re sending your message, but sometimes you can’t get through because there’s a lobbyist who’s already on line,” professed Obama.

Wholesale Political Food Betrayal

Four years later however, the shine of Obama’s victory has worn off, leaving many of us to wonder if this isn’t the most agribusiness friendly administration yet.

The approval in one year of four new biotech crops

  • GMO alfalfa
  • GMO sugar beets
  • GMO ethanol corn
  • Roundup Ready bluegrass for lawns

This  represents the same threat that financial deregulation and the resulting economic crash does to our food supply.

GMO Animal Foods

Even this week, more news of the Obama administration’s love affair with food and crop biotechnology is making the rounds, with an announcement last Monday that the Food and Drug Administration recommended the commercialization of GMO salmon (despite flawed scientific research).

Currently the evaluation is under review at the White House Office of Management and Budget, but if the administration is as cavalier with GMO salmon as they have been with other GMO crops, the first genetically engineered animal could be a plate near you soon.

At the same time the Obama administration has decided to “plow ahead” with the indiscriminate approval of GMOs, a flood of recent studies have disproven several previous claims by the agricultural biotech industry, such as the perilous rise of superweeds, insects becoming resistant to the genetically inserted insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and a disturbing report out of Canada that found that 93 percent of pregnant mothers tested had the genetically engineered Bt toxin in their blood, something biotech scientists claimed was impossible.

Revolving Door Between Government and Industry

In the 1990s, when agricultural biotech companies wanted to make sure nothing got between them and profits, they rotated executives into high-ranking positions in government to help write the rules that govern approval of GMO crops.

In the most famous example, former Monsanto attorney and super lobbyist Michael Taylor oversaw biotechnology regulations at the Food and Drug Administration that placed rBGH, a synthetic hormone, in the milk supply, despite the objections of agency scientists, and implemented the policy declaring genetically engineered foods to be “substantially equivalent” to naturally bred seeds and animals, the main Catch 22 of why GMOs are not required to be labeled in the U.S.

Currently, Michael Taylor is back at the FDA as the Food Safety Czar. So much for closing the revolving door.

For Everyone Who Eats

For everyone who eats, the events that brought down our banking system and the lack of accountability and for those who rigged the rules in their favor should be lessons in the making.

Today’s system of industrial agriculture has become overly concentrated and corrupt, while corporations are continually advocating more of the same. Rather than encourage a diversified portfolio in agriculture, the Obama administration and the USDA are doing everything in their power to put all of global agriculture’s eggs in the biotech basket.

If people and elected officials think the collapse of the global economy was a disaster, wait until it happens to our food supply.

The truth is, if people really knew about the collusion behind what they were eating, both parties would be in the streets. For some reason, Obama has so far sided with chemical and biotech seed giants like Monsanto, who keep insisting that Americans should be dining in the dark. It’s time to remind President Obama of his promise, after all there’s nothing more important than the food that we eat and feed our families. And some things are worth fighting for.

Groundbreaking News: Forced vs. Voluntary Exercise – Which Is Better?

Groundbreaking News:

Forced vs. Voluntary

Exercise -

Which Is Better?

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) Scientific discoveries can seem to come out of nowhere, as occurred when Jay L. Alberts, then a Parkinson’s disease researcher at Emory University in Atlanta, mounted a bike with Cathy Frazier, a Parkinson’s patient. The two were riding a bicycle tour across Iowa, hoping to raise awareness of the neuro-degenerative disease and to “show people with Parkinson’s that you don’t have to sit back and let the disease take over your life,” Dr. Alberts said

Something Unexpected Happened

Then something unexpected happened.  One of Cathy Frazier’s symptoms was micrographia, a condition in which her handwriting, legible at first, would become smaller and unreadable as she continued to write. After a day of pedaling,  she signed a birthday card with no difficulty, her signature “beautifully written,” Dr. Alberts said. She also felt as if she didn’t have Parkinson’s.

Impressed by these results, Dr. Alberts started a series of experiments in which he had Parkinson’s patients ride tandem bicycles. The preliminary results are raising fascinating questions not only about whether exercise can help counteract the disease but also whether intense and forced workouts affect our brains differently than gentler activity, even in those of us who are healthy.

Difference Between Forced vs Voluntary Exercise

Scientists have known for some time that in lab animals, forced and voluntary exercise can lead to different outcomes. Generally, mice and rats enjoy running, so if you put a running wheel in a rodent’s cage, it will hop aboard and run in a voluntary way. But if you place an animal on a treadmill and control the speed so it must keep pace, often with a finger prod or electrical shock, the activity is forced.

Animal Experiments with Forced vs Voluntary Exercise

In animals, the effects on the brain tend to be more beneficial after forced exercise. In one study from 2008, rats forced to run wound up with much more new brain cells after eight weeks than those who only ran voluntarily – and even though the latter animals ran faster! In a similar experiment, mice that were required to exercise on treadmills performed better on cognitive tests than those given voluntary access.

First Human Experiment with Forced vs Voluntary Exercise

Before Dr. Alberts’s work, there had been few human experiments of this kind because no one had known how, ethically, to “force” people to exercise. Dr. Alberts solved that problem by placing volunteers with Parkinson’s on the back seat of a tandem, which had been modified to ensure that the back rider would have to actively pedal. The subject could not just passively let the pedals of the bike turn. First, they had each volunteer ride a solo stationary bicycle at their own pace, often pedaling at a relaxed 60 revolutions per minute.

But on the tandem, the rider in front had been instructed to pedal at a cadence of around 90 r.p.m. and with higher force output or wattage than the patients had produced on their own voluntarily. The result was that the riders in back were forced to pedal harder and faster.

After eight weeks of hour-long sessions of such forced riding, most of the patients showed significant lessening of tremors and better body control, improvements that continued for up to four weeks after they stopped bicycling.

Exciting Brain Health Findings

These findings were exciting because they contrast with some earlier results involving voluntary exercise and Parkinson’s patients. In those experiments, the activity was more localized. Weight training, for instance, led to stronger muscles, and slow walking increased walking speed and endurance. But such regimens typically did not improve Parkinson’s patients’ overall motor control. “They didn’t help people tie their shoes,” Dr. Alberts says.

The forced pedaling regimen, on the other hand, did. Dr. Alberts was led to conclude that the exercise must be affecting the riders’ brains, as well as their muscles, a theory that was substantiated when he used functional M.R.I. machines to see inside their skulls. The scans showed that, compared with Parkinson’s patients who had not ridden, the tandem cyclists’ brains were more active.

Why forced exercise would have a greater effect on brain functioning than gentler regimens isn’t clear. Scientists have speculated that in animal experiments, being forced to work out may cause the release of stress-linked hormones in rodents’ brains, which then prompt various reactions in the cells and tissues. But Dr. Alberts suspects that in Parkinson’s patients, the answer may be simple mathematics. More pedal strokes cause more muscle contractions than fewer pedal strokes, generating more nervous system messages to the brain. There, he thinks, biochemical reactions occur in response to the messages, and the more messages, the greater the response.

Going Outside One’s Comfort Zone

Whether forced exercise would similarly affect healthy brains is unknown.

“It seems likely,” he continues, that intense exercise of any kind should produce comparable brain reactions and “there is data showing that people who exercise intensely have less risk” of developing Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. So perhaps, if you do not have a tandem bike for two, try cranking up the speed of your solo bike until you are outside your comfort zone.

Dr. Alberts remains most enthused, though, about the implications of his findings for people with Parkinson’s and other brain-related conditions.

Expanding The Program Nationwide

He has partnered with Y.M.C.A.’s in several cities to offer special tandem cycling programs for Parkinson’s patients and is hoping to expand the program nationwide. He is also planning studies with patients who’ve suffered strokes, in hopes that the brain changes following forced exercise could ease the relearning of physical skills.

“This is not a cure” for Parkinson’s or other brain conditions, he cautions. “But it seems to help significantly” with tremors and other symptoms, “and it gives people a chance to be active participants in their own treatment.”

He plans to return to the Iowa bike event next summer, as a representative of a program he founded – Pedaling for Parkinson’s, and he expects to be joined again by Ms. Frazier – enabled to sign her name legibly.

Coffee Illusions:

What the Magic Brew Does to Your Brain

 

 Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

With an intro from You Are Not So Smart. 

(Healingtalks)  Hmmm…………….Misconception: Coffee stimulates you. Truth: You become addicted to caffeine quickly, and soon are drinking coffee to cure withdrawal more than the stimulation.

That can’t be true…Get-off… What’s better than a warm cup of coffee with delicious cream, topped with a frothy head and  made sweet to the T. Further you smell it brewing and feel cozy inside as you browse cakes and brownies, scones and biscotti.

You get some of it in you, and you feel ALIVE again – you feel SUPERHUMAN.

Suddenly, you can’t keep up with your own mind as geometric symbols float over the magazine articles in your lap. Someone strikes up a conversation about health car…or whatever… and suddenly everything you’ve ever heard about the topic is at the tip of your tongue.

Damn…Jeez… coffee is AWESOME!

Coffee Illusions

You want to live a life of illusions, knock yourself dead. Want to live a life of integral health, let’s first understand something about illusions….especially  GREAT FEELING  “illusions.”

Think of a mirror – a thin surface appearance in our overall consciousness. No depth.

Think of a small timer – one that goes off and on for no more than so many minutes – or illusion timewise is temporary, lacking time-depth ….

( As an aside, pharmaceuticals work pretty much the very exact same way. They fool us into thinking they a the best means to heal. No way. There is a whole system of medicine is based on this belief, this illusions and they fiercely claim the mantle of  exact science” – depth truth. But in reality, they are best for just symptom modulation, suppression of symptoms especially pain (mirror surface conditions)…and for emergencies (think again  a smaller timer) or the surface of time. They belong likewise to any illusionary root worldview (no one every told you this?) that designs all chemicals and pollutes our earth and as much our bodies – the 17th century math-based/mechanical vision that has brought us to where we are after an industrial revolution- a world full of weather crises, the breakdown of social/financial structures, our earth’s ecology, our inner polluted ecology or health pandemics and cancer, etc)

Ok that’s too much to digest. So now back to the much, smaller but nevertheless all-too-wonderful-to- talk about topic of COFFEE…..!

Bottom line with all illusions….you guessed it…there is a let-down. They ain’t completely what they claim to be.

Once you’ve been drinking coffee for a while, the feeling after a cup isn’t the difference between the normal you and the super you, it’s the difference between the addict before and the fix after \

Ok, this is a very simplified explanation:

Caffeine’s Effects

Caffeine is an adenosine antagonist. This means it prevents adenosine from doing its job. Your brain is filled with keys which fit specific keyholes. Adenosine is one of those keys, but caffeine can fit in the same keyhole. When caffeine gets in there, it keeps adenosine from getting in. Adenosine does a lot of stuff all throughout your body, but the most noticeable job it has is to suppress your nervous system. With caffeine stuck in the keyhole, adenosine can’t calm you down. It can’t make you drowsy. It can’t get you to shut up. That crazy wired feeling you get when you drink a lot of coffee is what it feels like when your brain can’t turn itself off. To compensate, your brain creates a ton of new receptor sites. The plan is to have more keyholes than false keys.

Caffeine Crash and Pickup

Thus you become very sensitive to adenosine, and without coffee you get overwhelmed by its effects. After eight hours of sleep, you wake up with a head swimming with adenosine. You feel like shit until you get that black gold in you to clean out those receptor sites. That perk you feel isn’t adding anything substantial to you – it’s bringing you back to just above zero.

In addition, coffee stimulates your adrenal glands, which makes you feel like you could take a bullet and eat glass. When the adrenaline runs dry, you feel like you’ve been running a marathon, which leads you to look for more coffee to get those glands pumping again. After a few rides on the adrenal roller-coaster, you CRASH!

Getting Addicted to Caffeine Lift

You might think all of this probably takes a while, but it takes about seven days to become addicted to caffeine. Once addicted, you need more and more coffee to get buzzed as your brain gets covered in receptor sites. Neurologists report seeing patients regularly who drink two or three pots of coffee in one sitting before starting their day.

Coffee also releases dopamine, the feel-good chemical in the brain which is released when you have an orgasm, win the lottery and shoot heroin. A similar addiction cycle with dopamine leads to depression and fatigue when you aren’t hitting the beans.

Finally, caffeine takes about six hours to leave your system. So if you drink coffee six hours or less before going to bed, you won’t reach deep sleep as often. This means you wake up less rested, and need more coffee. If you’ve been drinking coffee for a while, you aren’t getting nearly as much out of it as you did in the beginning. You are just curing an addiction.

Caffeine Bottom Line

“The take home is that regular use of caffeine produces no benefit to alertness, energy, or function. Regular caffeine users are simply staving off caffeine withdrawal with every dose – using caffeine just to return them to their baseline. This makes caffeine a net negative  for  alertness, or neutral at best if use is regular enough to avoid any withdrawal.”

- Neurologist Stephen Novella from his blog, Neurologica

Mind you, this is not a dependency. You will experience withdrawal symptoms upon coffee cessation, but not like with amphetamines and cocaine. Coffee doesn’t seem to affect the dopaminergic structures related to reward, but before you breathe a sigh of relief, ask yourself how long you’ve been drinking it. Try and stop for two weeks and see how hard it is.

A cup or three will still give you pep, but as with all stimulants, over time you need more and more to reach that golden hum. Don’t freak out, 90 percent of Americans are just like you.

My Favorite Alternatives to Coffee

Want to really boost your health, get high on health, a sustained high…and in a different way.. if  I can you dare to be so counter-cultural…and with only a slight, not big time up and down stimulation, then try the following. Oh if this doesn’t fully turn you on, play some hip hop or your favorite high-beat music early in the morning to get you revved up and then sluggalug…

  • Grapefruit Juice, freshly squeezed. No it doesn’t have that seductive taste of coffee but in the morning it will extend the detoxification process of sleep, stimulate a stronger bowel movement, add vitamin C and anti-oxidants to your blood stream for steady energy – what you really need.
  • Wheat Grass Juice, freshly squeezed – This takes a lot more effort to get, grow and juice fresh wheatgrass – but boy is it worth it. This is  for the serious health lover as well as those challenged with a major chronic condition. It contains over a 100 essential nutrients, unlike the emptiness of a cup of coffee,  and may be the single most powerful blood cleanser on the planet. Before a road race or other sports event, its just fabulous. This  because it adds tons of oxygen to you blood. It gives more than just energy but steady power.
  • Fruit and Protein Smoothie – The benefit of a smoothie is that you can add a large variety of nutrients to your morning routine, and you can vary that routine easily. Try mango and peach one morning with a protein powder, and another with bananas and sunflower seeds. Try this 2-3 times a week. The potential varieties for this are endless. Compare having a creative smoothie to the same boring cup of coffee everyday (with pasteurized cream and refined sugar, also not so healthy). Yes  and again it takes a little effort, some creativity, and being wide-eyed in the morning….but again its worth it.
  • Herbal Tea – Alternatively try your favorite herbal tea, but with little or less of a  caffeine spike. Maybe add a little kambucha with spirulina and you will still get a BUZZ.

Coffee Illusions knock yourself dead

And for many more coffee alternatives, knock yourself DEAD…

NAMES OF GOVERNMENT AGENTS WHO MASTERMINDED THE RAID OF RAWESOME FOODS

No Comments 14 August 2011

Names of government agents

who masterminded Rawesome Foods raid

Based on an investigatory post by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(Healingtalks) The proprietors at Rawesom Foods in California were recently arrested for the sale of raw milk and charged with multiple felonies (in a new development in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave). In some states you can get life in prison for three felonies. These charges were lodged even though raw milk is actually and really safer and healthier to drink than pasteurized milk.

 

To say otherwise is part of a huge government scam that has been going on for decades to protect large dairy operations, concerns that rely on pasteurization for extended shelf life. However, they produce an inferior product through high-heat denaturing of milk proteins. In the past the industry has just lied to the public and suppress raw milk sales.

Now they are trying to criminalize the competition. Welcome to the new food police state!

Nathan Batalion CTN

________________________________________________________________________

The Rawesome Foods raid that took place August 3, 2011, is being publicly described by many as an act of “government terrorism” against innocents. And yet there has been very little information published about the names of the government instigators who masterminded these armed raids and oversaw the pillaging of Rawesome Foods and the destruction of tens of thousands of dollars worth of food.

Today, NaturalNews is publishing the names of five government agents who masterminded this raid and / or took part in the raid. This is all part of a campaign to protest these acts of government tyranny by sending emails, making phone calls, sending letters and otherwise making it very clear to these agents that We the People will not tolerate this kind of treatment.

As always, if you send emails to these people, keep the following important points in mind:

• Keep your emails civil. Be firm in your complaints but DO NOT make any threats or engage in illegal of threatening behavior against these individuals. NaturalNews does not condone acts or threats of violence.

• Remember that if you send them emails, they will have your email address, so in order to protect your privacy, it’s always better to send emails from anonymous email sources such as Hotmail, Gmail, etc. Absolutely DO NOT send emails from your work or office email account.

• If you send emails or faxes, be sure to clearly state WHY you oppose these government actions against Rawesome Foods. Be clear in your message: Do you think the government has gone too far? Are you opposed to the government destruction of valuable food? Are you offended by the use of gun-toting, SWAT-style police officers as part of these raids? What specifically do you oppose in all this?

Why these individuals represent truly BAD government

Here are the top government agents involved in this raid. It’s also worth noting that most of them have been waging a long-term WAR against raw milk over the past several years. Many of these government agents are the very same people responsible for campaigns of threats and intimidation against other raw dairy operations, both in California and around the country.

These people, in my opinion, represent the worst of runaway Big Government. They perfectly depict how government becomes an institution of evil that destroys private property, disrupts important resources in the food supply, denies infants and children important nutrition (raw goat’s milk) and operates with extreme arrogance as if they are untouchable.

Your job is the help remind these people that we know who they are, and we’re going to be keeping an eye on them from this point forward to make sure that they respect their role as servants of the People, not rulers over them.

It is crucial that government workers realize that when they are granted power by the People, they must exercise that power with discretion with the intention of serving the People, not conducting their own personal vendettas against individuals or small businesses they don’t like.

Join us in sending emails and making phone calls to voice your complaints against these out-of-control government bureaucrats — people who I consider to be parasites on society who believe they rule by force (at the end of a gun) and run a totalitarianism dictatorship right here in America.

It’s time to put these people in their place and make sure they know we are watching and paying attention — and we will take action to protect our lives, our liberties and our pursuit of happiness, even in the face of total government oppression and intimidation.

How genetically modified

got on our dinner plates

What’s really in our foods?

(Healingtalks) There used to be a time when you could, without much thought or worry, eat whatever was put on our food plates. Times have changed and dramatically. The number of chemicals injected in our food supply has skyrocketed! About 10,000 chemicals are now routinely used in food processing and storage, and about 3,000  chemicals are added in the processing of our foods! We also have another lethal “bonus,” namely of genetically modified ingredients which are not labeled!

How genetically modified food got on our dinner plates

This was the result of some secret and private meetings between executives of Monsanto and other industry giants with the prior Bush administrations. A campaign was started to sell the world public on the false idea that genetically modified foods are “essentially equivalent to regular foods.”  The diametrical opposite is so.

Genetic rape

Never has there been a more radical change to our common food supply, plus this is hidden to the public. When a fish gene is spliced into a tomato, or a worm gene is put in an apple, something is more than fundamentally wrong.  The process is also violent, using a gene gun that violates the conscious and alive genetic membranes. I call a spade a spade. This is genetic rape.
