HEALTH LECTURE: “Skin Growths, Moles, Tags, Spots & Blemishes - Why Do They
Develop?”
Sunday, August 8
7:00-9:00pm

Most of us, even the holistically minded, have been taught that only sun
exposure and old age are the reasons for many unsightly blemishes, growths, and
wrinkles people accumulate over time. We have told to avoid the sun, use
sunscreens, and to have surgery for severely damaged skin lesions. The result -
a staggering epidemic of skin cancer and chronic disease! Come and learn the
REAL causes for skin growths and blemishes, plus the safest, innovative,
health-enhancing nutritional and dietary approaches to prevent and treat various
skin lesions.

I'm co-chairing the 2nd annual Blackberry Harvest Celebration in Klamath,CA on
the Yurok reservation. Last year I gave samples of raw blackberry crumble and
handed out pamphlets on GMO's etc. This year we have the Klamath Community
Garden with organic and heirloom produce. We'll have games and events for kids,
various vendors and artisans and I would love to have some raw food people here
either to do a presentation or as a vendor, healer, etc. The date is 9/11 and
you can camp out at my house. Here's a blurb on the garden

Hi, everyone!

I am now offering introductory Matrix Energetics sessions for $25. Sessions are
available on Thursdays and Fridays from 11am - 4pm, or at other times by
appointment.

Matrix Energetics is a healing modality that playfully accesses creative states
of grace in order to bring about miraculous transformation. Built on founding
principles of quantum and scalar physics, Matrix Energetics potently asks the
question, "What would it be like if this were different?". In this way, Matrix
Energetics can offer rapid relief in arenas more traditional therapies have
difficulty reaching, including physical, emotional, behavioral, psychic, and
relational ailments.

The practice of Matrix Energetics can be touch-free and playful, with room for
both thought and feeling. It is a potent catalyst for change.

I first discovered ME in July of 2008, and was drawn to it as a modality that
allows us to cut through resistance and create change where it's most needed. I
completed my practitioner certification in December 2009. I bring my past
training as a Reiki Master, shiatsu practitioner, yogi, re-evaluation counselor
and personal coach to the process of engaging in transformation with you.

Thanks, and be well!

Has anyone experience with fresh Black Walnuts?  Mostly they have
white flesh and yellow skins!  Sometimes they are a clear gelatinous
substance.  I have been eating them without negative effects for 3
days now but curious what others have experienced.

One thought is that if ninety minutes of work gives us about an ounce
of nuts then these are medicinal substances not food.

I also understand that if left to mature the nuts will harden to
something like mature English Walnuts...

Thank you so very much.

Since investigating Raw foods 10 years ago I have heard of "the
gallbladder flush" as an alternative to gallbladder removal surgery.

Three years ago I heard of a person who was not a raw foodist nor
someone selling raw food books or programs who under went a
"gallbladder flush".  She did it because of a painful condition and
was scheduled for surgery.  Her long time childhood friend recommended
the flush and shepherded her through it.  I met her and she got the
hundred of "stones" and didn't have the painful attack that Dr.
Klapper says the olive oil would cause nor has she had any symptoms
for the last two years.  This leads me to question Dr. Klapper but one
case does not dispel his theory.

If you were diagnosed with gallstones and had a flush and your
symptoms went away then perhaps you would like to be at his talk at
the convention center at 1:30 Sunday Sep 19th.

If Dr. Klapper is right then these people were misdiagnosed but it
does not explain why their symptoms went away with what he calls a
"snake oil" cure.  His theory also says that doctors are taking
gallbladders out for no good reason.

If you want in a group to challenge him then please email me back and
we can meet before the talk under the pendulum.

Thank you.

Could these be gallstones?

by Christian W Sies and Jim Brooker

A 40-year-old woman was referred to the outpatient clinic with a 3-month history of recurrent severe right hypochondrial pain after fatty food. Abdominal ultrasound showed multiple 1–2 mm gallstones in the gallbladder.

She had recently followed a “liver cleansing” regime on the advice of a herbalist. This regime consisted of free intake of apple and vegetable juice until 1800 h, but no food, followed by the consumption of 600 mL of olive oil and 300 mL of lemon juice over several hours. This activity resulted in the painless passage of multiple semisolid green “stones” per rectum in the early hours of the next morning. She collected them, stored them in the freezer, and presented them in the clinic (figure).

Figure. Semi-solid green “stones” passed per rectum (top) and surgically removed cholesterol gallstones (bottom)

Microscopic examination of our patient's stones revealed that they lacked any crystalline structure, melted to an oily green liquid after 10 min at 40°C, and contained no cholesterol, bilirubin, or calcium by established wet chemical methods.1 Traditional faecal fat extraction techniques2 indicated that the stones contained fatty acids that required acid hydrolysis to give free fatty acids before extraction into ether. These fatty acids accounted for 75% of the original material.

Experimentation revealed that mixing equal volumes of oleic acid (the major component of olive oil) and lemon juice produced several semi solid white balls after the addition of a small volume of a potassium hydroxide solution. On air drying at room temperature, these balls became quite solid and hard.

We conclude, therefore, that these green “stones” resulted from the action of gastric lipases on the simple and mixed triacylglycerols that make up olive oil, yielding long chain carboxylic acids (mainly oleic acid). This process was followed by saponification into large insoluble micelles of potassium carboxylates (lemon juice contains a high concentration of potassium) or “soap stones”. The cholesterol stones noted on ultrasound were removed by surgery (figure).

A search of the internet reveals many health websites promoting so-called “gall-bladder flushing” or “liver cleansing” regimes. Some quote a Correspondence letter published in The Lancet3 on the subject. The 1-day purge usually consists of an overnight fast, then eating apples in the morning, taking only herbal tea through the day, and then in the evening a warm mixture of olive oil (2/3 cup) and fresh lemon juice (1/3 cup). Patients are instructed to then lie on the right side (although some say the left). It is claimed that the next morning the gallstones will pass in the stool.

We have shown that these flushing regimes for expelling gallstones are a myth, and that the claims made by some are misleading. The appearance of a letter in an establishment journal has been used to legitimise this practice for some time and the record should now be set straight.

We declare that we have no conflict of interest.

Second opportunity - the other tree - larger then the first and
maturing a month later.

Please arrange a time for this high nutrient dense fresh sour berry
(low glycemic).  I would like to ask that you donate half of your
harvest so I can arrange an ORAC test to analyze/confirm the nutrient
value.

Thank you so very much.

  Fordham's colleague, Beverly Clevidence, analyzed the berries. Her
analysis showed that, ounce for ounce, the typical autumn olive berry
is up to 17 times higher in lycopene than the typical raw tomato
(80-90 per cent of the US intake of this nutrient comes from tomatoes
and tomato products).

"The red berries of autumn olive have a high carotenoid content,"
writes Fordham, "and particularly high levels of lycopene (30-70
mg/100g). Lycopene has powerful antioxidant properties, making it of
interest for nutraceutical use."

The berries also contain high levels of vitamins A, C and E, and
flavonoids and essential fatty acids. Lycopene is their main
attraction, though. Lycopene, adds Clevidence, who heads ARS'
Phytonutrients Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, has generated
widespread interest as a possible deterrent to heart disease and
cancers of the prostate, cervix and gastrointestinal tract.

US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Fruit Lab gave the fruit a new
name (or an old name made new again) -- Autumnberry. They've opened an
Autumnberry Research Lab. "A New Fruit for Processing: Autumnberry,
Aki-gumi, or Autumn olive, they say, has "Organic Farming
Possibilities." Requires little or no fertilizer. Easily harvested by
hand or machine. Flavorful fruit.


Although some farmers and horticulturalists grow autumn olive as a
nurse tree, which prepares the ground for black walnut trees, many
consider it too invasive to let stand. It makes sturdy hedgerows and
windbreaks and nourishes the soil in old fields; but in  Maine  its
nitrogen-fixing ability is blamed for interfering "with the nitrogen
cycle of native communities that may depend on infertile soils."

Nora:

Dr. Klapper's info on the web had some errors and when informed he
agreed to correct them.

His talk was very good and he is a diet proponent (50% or more raw but
he just mentions raw once not a focus).

It is important to hear two sides of an argument.  He show pictures of
fibrous walled gallbladders filled with large stones and he showed
healthy colon tissue but never showed diseased colons.  I recorded the
talk so if some are interested I will work to make it available.

In health and peace.
