See book keywords and concepts |  To avoid pesticide and other residues not only in the herbs but in the soil, it is essential to grow plants organically, without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Good organic farming methods build the soil rather than deplete it and yield healthier, higher-quality herbs. Organic crops are better for the farmer, too, because they bring a higher price, rewarding the farmer for the extra care and work it takes to grow organically.
Not everything can be cultivated. Saw palmetto is a good example. |

10. Toxic Waste Firms Target Indian Reservations
1982 SYNOPSIS: Once again, American Indians are being threatened. This time corporate America wants their land. The threat comes in the form of representatives of firms like Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) who want the land, not for its natural resources, but for "chemical residual management facilities"—a trade term for toxic waste dumps.
In its efforts to obtain dump sites on Indian land, BFI acquired a listing of tribes through a system of "introductions" provided by the U.S. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Gerson was also one of the first advocates of organic farming, and would refer to the soil, which nourishes the food we eat, as our "external metabolism." Fifty years ago, long before the environmental crisis had become a matter of public awareness, this prophetic man said that the earth's well-being was intimately interwoven with our own.
German by birth, he fled to the United States as Hitler was coming to power, and soon was achieving superlative results for people with cancer. Yet, according to medical historians, this "scholar's scholar . . . |

See book keywords and concepts | | Even though we have renewable resources available to us, practices such as sustainable forestry, organic farming, and recycling must become commonplace in order for them to provide a continuous supply of resources.
Most of the products we refer to as natural are made primarily from renewable resources. The word natural, as it relates to consumer products, is actually meaningless, since every consumer product is made from the natural resources of the Earth. Because, as yet, there is no legal definition, natural has been both overused and misused in labels on many products. |

Sir Albert Howard, in his book, An Agricultural Testament, wrote glowingly of the Hunzas, their agriculture, and their use of rock dust. Howard explained, "The staircase cultivation of these hillmen receives annual dressings of fresh rock-powder, produced by the grinding effect of the glacier on the rocks and carried to the fields in the irrigation water."

Waxes
In addition to pesticides, waxes are applied to many fruits and vegetables to seal in the water contained in the produce, thereby keeping the produce looking fresh. According to FDA law, grocery stores must display a sign noting that waxes or post-harvest pesticides have been applied. Unfortunately, most stores do not comply with the law and the FDA lacks the manpower to enforce it. Currently, the FDA has approved six different waxes for use on produce. |

It seems certain that the healthiest people on the planet Earth, the Hunzas, living in the Karakorum Range in the Himalayas, situated between Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, and the Soviet Union, to a large degree owe their fabled vitality and unequaled longevity to rock dust. They live at an elevation of 8,400 feet, surrounded by 25,000-foot peaks and the vast Ultar Glacier, from which they receive their water for drinking and irrigation. |

Increased circulation to the scalp is important so exercise should be part of any program, along with juicing, to support the body nutritionally.
I recommend the following four stage program to provide increased vitality to your hair and scalp.
STAGE 1
DAILY PROTOCOL FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS
B complex (50 mg) B12 (100 meg) garlic (500 mg twice) aloe (1 oz three times) protein (9/10th g per kg of body weight) [1 kg = 2. |

3. The Government's War on Scientists Who Know Too Much
1978 SYNOPSIS: In 1964, Dr. Thomas Mancuso was commissioned by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), predecessor to the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, to measure how safe nuclear plants are for the people who work in them.
It was the first study of its kind and was therefore invested with special significance. His initial findings were innocuous. | | The secret of organic farming is that it works.
In Delano, California, there is a profitable $3 million ranch that has not used a poison on its vineyards in five years. At Washington University's Center for the Biology of Natural System, in St. Louis, researchers have found more than 250 commercial organic farms, ranging up to 800 acres, in the Corn Belt. In the foothills of the Swiss Alps is the $6 million Biolta Ltd. Company which sells picture-perfect organic vegetables to supermarkets all over Switzerland. | | It also added six nuclear reactors to its close watch list, bringing the total number in need of special scrutiny to 14—the highest number since 1988 (Associated Press, 1/30/97).
2. Organic Farming: The Secret Is It Works!
1978 SYNOPSIS: Most Americans have been well propagandized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and agribusiness corporations. We have been taught to believe that growing organically means growing small, pest-infested fruits and vegetables with brown spots. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Short of switching entirely to organic farming, farmers have many ways to reduce their reliance on pesticides. One way is through a practice called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM involves a range of methods, such as planting a crop a little earlier to beat the bugs, using a pest-resistant variety, or spraying only when pests have reached a level that will cause economic damage to a crop. Another way to reduce pesticide use is to discourage pests naturally through crop rotation. |
