You know, there are days when I wish that I was wrong, and this is one of them.
So…my first inclination was right–that they were trying to control the message and access to the area by the press….it would appear that the press corps are going to have to start having body guards.
At least there is one aerial photo of the mess here.
Organic Consumers has this up on the appointment of Dr. Ernest Moniz to the Department of Energy. He’s a pro-fracking appointee.
…Only when the last tree is cut…and the last water is polluted…will we realize we can’t eat money….
Chicago Tribune has a piece up on the dangers of dental amalgams. Sweet Progress. 🙂
Common dreams has this up on fracking and all the hazards it entails. Hey, just as long as Dick Cheney gets his cut, all is well…
More here.
And here.
And the best Congress money can buy….
Let’s not forget the other consequences of fracking– earthquakes.
Common Dreams has this up on NASA scientist James Hansen leaving the agency to work actively against climate change.
What’s really depressing about this article is that Hansen has been telling Congress since 1988 that climate change was real and a growing problem.
1988….twenty-five freaking years ago….and we’re still dragging our feet? It is so depressing at all that has happened since then and how much better off we would be now if action had been taken at that time!
Daily Mail has this story up on a new fad. It states that it contains natural ingredients of seaweed and prickly pear to lose weight.
First, I hope that this story is untrue.
Secondly, seaweed (most likely kelp) can be beneficial, as it has been known for centuries by the Native Americans for the benefits. However, with the modern pollution of our oceans, it is likely to be contaminated unless they are carefully cultivated in less polluted waters, such as Norwegian kelp.
Thirdly, kelp does contain iodine, which is beneficial to the thyroid but can really mess up your thyroid and immune system if too high a dose is used. Losing 3-5 pounds in a week tells me that this is overdosing and will wreck the thyroid and adrenal glands. Believe me, as someone who is trying to heal those two important glands, you do not want to mess with them.
Lastly, if one sees a dramatic difference after taking kelp, then I would suggest testing the thyroid and adrenals for the person having low thyroid. It is one of the most overlooked deficiencies in this toxic environment today.
Like anything, too much of a good thing can cause as many problems as being deficient in them.
Be well, my friends.

I asked permission to post this story of the recovery of a GAPS support group member:
Hi you guys
I wanted to encourage all newbies. My son age 4/12 was non verbal when we started this diet. He also had no social skills and he didn’t respond to his nameWe have been on the diet for two years now. It has been a rough road to say the least. Not only was he nonverbal he also had extreme behavioral problems. Taking out high candida foods, like fruit, nuts and honey helped tremendously. We also have a Laura V from the group Gaps practitioner and Naturopath ND helping us.
Eli had a wonderful day at the park yesterday. My heart was overwhelmed with joy watching him play with other kids. He saw a little guy his age. He walked over to him and asked if he wanted to play. The other kiddo said yes. They played on the swing, they played tag and ran around. The other kid saw a friend he knew at the park. The friend also played with Eli. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Not to long Eli would shy away from kids. He use to act so strange around them. Perhaps because he couldn’t speak
He is also talking using sentences, asking questions and making comments on things that he hears and sees. We thought we would never see this happen
To all newbies stay the course. This diet can be stressful at times but the benefits of healing is so worth it. Dr NCM talks about adding cherries on top if you don’t see healing within a year or so. We had to get additional help. In addition to the diet. Eli is on homeopathic remedies to address his faulty detox system, his over exposure to antibiotics and his chronic gut issues due to the meds that was given to him as a baby. My doc is in the process of becoming gaps certified. I will post his info as soon as that happens
Hugs

I can’t add anything to this. It’s just absolutely stunning how diet can impact one so profoundly. God Bless Regina for being the kind of Mom who acts on her intuition and asks questions until she finds the answer.
