Healing Multiple Sclerosis, Nursing Mother Arrested, Farmers on Trial, and More in Today’s Monday Morning Mix-Up 4/29/2013

As I write this the kids and I (except our oldest who had to work) are at my Mom's for the “big” annual event, the Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival.  I grew up loving this every year and have only missed one since I moved away when I was 19.  We even roped some of our Rockford friends into coming with us this year, it's crazy how excited I am to take them around this little town, hah!  We got our own tour of the Sap House, which I've done a thousand times before, but it's all new to me since I don't ever remember anything anyway…

Sap house tour

  • Kimi Harris put up a post last week that about knocked me off my chair because a 20 year old relative was just diagnosed with this disease.  The post is called, Healing Multiple Sclerosis with Food.  When I put it on Facebook, it also sparked some interesting comments.
  • Did you see the ‘a day in the life of our homeschool' video from last week?  It certainly wasn't polished, but gives you an idea of what a day around here is like anyway.  🙂
  • My talk went well at Harvest Health last week, even though we couldn't get my stupid Keynote to work right and I did it without any of my notes.  It was fun, though, because while most were into healthy eating (or they probably wouldn't have been to a talk at a health food store), they were still a “fresh crowd” when it came to traditional foods.  As an example of what I mean… There were 110 people there and no one had ever heard of Joel Salatin.  Crazy huh?  Afterward many came up to share some of their stories and it made me sad and angry once again to hear how thoroughly the SAD (standard american diet) has screwed up so many lives.  It was fun to talk to them and see hope come into their eyes when I told them about the power of real food!
  • skim milkThis post from Butter Believer is a great one about the dangers of fat-free milk:  6 Secrets You Don't Know about Skim Milk.
  • You've probably seen similar articles like this, but here's one Kent emailed me last week and said, “Gross article:  McDonald's burger bought in Utah in 1999 looks exactly the same as the day it was first flipped even after it spent two years in a COAT POCKET.”
  • Emily posted a great article on protecting yourself against pools with chlorine this summer.  My favorite recommendation (so easy and good for you, too) is to apply coconut oil before getting in!  (Here's where to get quality brands of coconut oil.)
  • F-flashlightsOn an unrelated-to-food note, does anyone else get sick of never being able to find a flashlight with batteries that work?  I heard about these solar flashlights from Shannon, who lives off the grid.  (Pin it here if you want.)
  • And since I'm griping a bit, I'll whine again about how our local grocery keeps getting rid of things I used to buy there!  So now, heck with 'em, I'll buy more on Amazon I guess.  The latest is this soap that we love, I got a good deal on a multi-pack.
  • One Colorado farming family was put through the wringer recently when this nursing mother was arrested.  Read the whole story at that link from the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund.
  • And here's another nasty ordeal…  Have you heard of all that Vernon Hershberger is going through in Wisconsin?

Vernon

Here is the website with more information on him and other farmers on trial, and you can watch a video with Vernon below, which shows his beautiful, peaceful farm.  “If Vernon is found guilty on ANY of the charges, we will see this method used to shut down buying clubs around the country.”  They could use your support next month during the trial in Wisconsin!  ***Find all the information here on where to go and when.

  • Here are a few Facebook highlights from last week…
    • Check out this picture of farming ‘before and after Monsanto'.
    • Can you guess what it is:  100% GMO, plus it has 4 food dyes banned in other countries?  Click here to find out…
    • Here's a cool picture of window cleaners at a children's hospital.  🙂
    • There was a lot more going on over at my Facebook page last week but I'm out of time, be sure to follow me there.  Thanks!
    • Did you see any cool things on Facebook this week?

    first thing.. Heather’s recipe for 3 ingredient soap she posted not too long ago was SOOOOO easy. you should def try it. call it craft time for the boys….

    and more important….

    I was dx with MS in 2007 after going blind in both eyes. At the time I ate the recommended “healthy” diet and worked out 5-6 days a week. I was not breastfed and I was raised on processed food. I had a history of infection, allergies, migraines, & asthma. After 10 days in the hospital I regained most of my vision and received my lovely DX. I saw the best of the best Drs. I had to take all kinds of meds including injecting myself. It was awful. As I watched myself fall further in a hole I realized I couldnt live like this. One day my Husband told my Neuro there was no money in a cure and it clicked. I found the book The MS Recovery Diet and then the Weston A Price Foundation. We left our old life in the city and now farm 3 acres. Raise cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, fruits & veggies. I have had two awesome homebirths. Life is really good and its all because of food. Food can either kill you or cure you. So yes you can heal your MS with food. I am another example!

    A friend of mine has MS and while she has not cured it she manages it through her diet. she works closely with a natrupath and I know she avoids wheat, gluten, sugar and root vegetables. I am sure there is other things but that is what I remember.

    In regards to the nursing mom article I do have one question – since I work as a court clerk. Did the nursing mother skip her original court date or not pay a fine? The only way we would send the cops to arrest someone would be if they skipped there court date. Just something to ask and what she could have done to avoid being picked up by the cops and taken to jail.

    Thanks for the info about chlorine. My daughter loves to swim and we have been battling eczema that we are starting to think is brought on my the pool, and I have been training for a triathlon which means lots of time in a pool.

    About the flashlights, with Hurricane Sandy last fall I ended up buying a crank-operated flashlight/radio/mobile phone charger combo. Thankfully I have not had a chance to test it out since (even with the blizzard!) but it’s there and running it for the first two options has been fine.
