Anderson Cooper on Cell Phones Causing Cancer

Anderson Cooper AC 360 on CNN 
"Gupta Digs into Cell Phone Safety"


Folks, this is really serious. A medically conservative news program is now alerting people to the real hazards of cell phone and Blackberry use. Children are especially vulnerable due to their thinner skulls.

We reported on "Cell Phone Radiation Dangers" a year ago (June 19, 2010) in this blog. Cell phone use, to a greater degree than you might have thought, is somewhat similar to sticking your head in a microwave oven to cook it. It's no joke.

Now the mainstream media is sounding the alarm.

In this report, many of the warnings we brought you about cell phone radiation are being endorsed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and both he and Anderson Cooper are changing the way they use these devices.

NEVER press your cell phone hard against your head. Hold it at least 1 inch away. Do NOT wear a Bluetooth earpiece all day long.

MOBY Inner City Community Garden Project

MOBY = My Own Back Yard

Peak Moment 33: This Vancouver, B.C. Canada neighborhood is building community while transforming an abandoned lot in a crack / crystal meth drug neighborhood into a flourishing community garden. Join MOBY-lizer Jason O'Brien and folks of all ages for cob clay-stomping fun accompanied by music in an inner-city urban garden below the elevated skytrain.

3 years of red tape, but it was worth it.

Reclaim abandoned, slummy areas of town and establish something wholesome and natural, where citizens can get together to grow food and interact with each other in a gentle and affirmative manner.

When people get together, they have great grassroots power and city administrations will respect that unity for a good cause.

Naturally Yours Deli gets Perfect 100 Health Dept Score

The last time we were in Naturally Yours Grocery in Peoria, IL, we noticed something taped to the deli bin. It was the notice of a perfect 100 points score by the Health Department inspectors. This is really a great accomplishment.

Congratulations to all the restaurants in town that scored 100 points. Congratulations to all who work at Naturally Yours Grocery, especially the deli chefs.

You can dine with confidence at Naturally Yours deli. Try a delicious soup or sandwich today. Find out why people are raving about Naturally Yours deli soups on Facebook.

I dare you to eat an entire Veggie Hummus sandwich in one sitting. I have a big stomach, unfortunately (and a big mouth according to my wife), but I always have to save one half of the sandwich for later. Not much later, but later. These deli sandwiches are HUGE. Filling and super nutritious!

Kefir for Probiotics

Probiotics is a hot topic in the health and organic food arena. One of the best ways to introduce beneficial probiotics into your system is to eat yogurt and drink kefir.

Lifeway makes a variety of flavored kefirs. One of my favorites is the pomegranate flavor.

Kefir is an easy way to live cultures into your system. It's a natural beverage that has been used for centuries.

[QUOTE]

Lifeway Kefir can do that much for you. Its far more probiotic than yogurt, with 10 live cultures that work in your body to help build immunity, improve digestion, fight off diseases and so much more.

Tori and Dean Make an Organic Garden VIDEO

While I'm happy to see them make an organic garden, I'm quite worried about the big white painted wood box that the garden sits in.

The chemicals in that box could be toxic and will eventually leak into the soil, thus making it a non-organic garden. Not to mention the city water that's being sprinkled into it...

An entertaining half-hour program, Gardening by the Yard is designed for people who want their yards to look great but don't have a lot of time to spend on them.

Organic Gardens with Toxic Wood Borders VIDEO

Never use pressure-treated wood, painted boards, or railroad ties around your organic garden. This wood has toxic chemicals in it that can leak into the soil. A better idea is to use steel or rocks as border.

Visual proof that organic gardens are the healthiest, hardiest gardens. No need for pesticides, weed-killing agents, artificial fertilizer, or other dangerous chemical pollutants. Nature has its own technology. The best weed remover is the human hand, plus maybe a sharp stick.

Here we see images of a Central Illinois organic garden in the middle of May 2011. These are mostly original, native perennials, mixed with some transplants, with the chocolate mint being a purchase from the Farmers Market several years ago.

It was windy today, too windy for even the valkyrie or harpy to ride, plants were waving wildly, swaying intermittently in stochastic patterns of no obvious rhyme nor reason, so excuse the occasional blur in these photographs.

An investment in some good top soil is a great idea. Soil is where you plants are rooted to receive minerals and liquids. Rich top soil will help your vegetables, herbs, flowers, bushes, and grass look beautiful and remain healthy and strong.

Our chocolate mint crop has already started and expands daily.

The chocolate mint is a transplant, purchased at the local Farmers Market several years ago.

Yes, the leaves of this mint plant really have a distinct chocolate flavor. Not as strong as Fannie Mae, but more subtle. We're trying to get licorice mint to grow in the adjacent section of the front porch garden, but we're not having much success.

Weeding and lawn cleaning (raking) is vital

for a healthy and visually pleasing landscape.

Having a garden that's pleasing to the aesthetic eye takes a lot of work, but it shows you have a healthy pride in your property.

You're being a Good Neighbor when you keep your lawn mowed, weeds pulled, edges trimmed, bushes sculptured, and trees tidy. Try to keep your tree's limbs from intruding upon your neighbors' property or driveway.

Keeping your lawn mowed at least once a week, you'll prevent potentially dangerous wildlife like raccoons, skunks, wolves, coyote, and stray dogs from prowling and hiding in the tall grass and bramble. All, especially the elderly, small children, and the animals themselves -- will be happier and safer.

The required labor is not burdensome, but is great exercise and helps your digestive, cognitive, magnetic, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems to stay strong, agile, and fit.
