Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Organic Solutions Volume 6 Issue 9 HealthFood Stores / Organic Produce THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE CONSUMER IS STILL KING! He’s not always aware of it, but he is King. Always remember that you and I have purchasing power. If we don’t buy an item it will just rot on the shelf. And guess what? If it doesn’t sell, the stores will stop pushing all the junk. A couple of weeks ago I surveyed my Herbal Remedies List of 6,000 members strong to find out if others were aware of some of the major shortcomings of our local Healthfood Stores or if it was just me over dramatizing one of my conspiracy theories. J I’m glad to say that almost all of my list members agreed with my observations and conclusions, and it was good to not have that “all alone feeling” you sometimes get when you feel you’re the only one who sees a thing. It was firmly agreed that availability of “ORGANIC FOODS” was one of the major reasons we all shop at Healthfood stores. Furthermore, I was very pleased to see that a variety of “HERBAL REMEDIES” was another major reason. People ARE waking up to the fact that the Commercial Markets and the Giant Pharmaceutical companies have betrayed us long ago. Furthermore, it was very important to many shoppers that Knowledgeable, Friendly Staff be available to effectively answer health questions. The number one complaint was PRICE ! ! ! Almost everyone had this objection as their number one pet peeve. This dovetailed with the fact that most of your larger / chain HealthFood Stores also carried a great many NON-ORGANIC products and yet were charging high “Organic” prices for this kind of merchandise. Number two on the list of beefs was the fact that just because it says “organic” or “health food” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s healthy. This is where you must read labels so as not to be fooled. I have found that some labels are great up to the last couple of ingredients that are either not organic or you will see some con like “natural flavorings” or “all natural”. If it doesn’t say exactly what’s in it, then I’m suspicious and don’t buy it. Organic Sugar is no better for a body than regular sugar. Organic Pastas still have Enzyme Inhibitors in them, don’t they? This is where having an herbalist / natural healer on staff can help. And lastly, people have gotten fed up with the tremendous number of fads that hit us every year. People want access to AFFORDABLE, HEALTHY, ORGANIC FOOD. And the only way we’ll get it is if we demand it and refuse to buy the junk. We have to support the Organic Farmers by buying only 100% Organic. If we do this, the prices will eventually come down. In addition, we need to demand that our foods be labeled properly so that we can be totally informed of every content in the package. The most ethical and best HealthFood Stores are your small Mom & Pop Family Variety. The large chains are going the way of the commercial giants. It’s time to put on our crowns and demand better organic food now.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Dear Jerry, An interesting response to say the least. The way one wins is to, "Never Give Up"! We may lose a few battles, but we WILL win this war. One of Winston Churchill's most famous speeches consisted only of, "Never give up! Just never give up! Never! Never! Never!" He then turned and walked out of the auditorium to one of the longest standing ovations ever received. Why would you give those governmental and industrial ass . . . the satisfaction of having you do their dirty job for them by committing suicide??? This doesn't make sense. A man is already dead who will not sometimes stand up and fight. Never give up my friend. You have in you the most! Use it! Argue for your limitations and they're yours. Scream out your joy to overcome any obstacle, and Freedom becomes your own personal right, and happiness becomes an actuality. If they ever come for me, it'll be the nastiest piece of work you ever saw and I'll be screaming, kicking, punching and biting all the way. T'hell with them. Let's just do it right ourselves and forget these dudes. There's no reason why we can't grow our own food and medicines. None.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Dear Deb, I understand completely. The reason our country and politicians didn't get it, is because most of them are absolutely corrupt. There are a couple of decent ones like Ron Paul but they are few and far between. For the most part BIG Pharma, BIG Agra, & BIG Techna own them all. And behind these are the International Bankers like Rockefeller, Dupont and the Rothschilds. I'm afraid things will get worse before they get better, but this doesn't mean we should just give up all hope. Even a nuclear confrontation would find some survivors. We most emphatically, need to have our own supplies of food and survival preparations on hand "just in case". Like the Boy Scouts, those who are prepared will weather the storm. Those who aren't will die. Not a pleasant subject, but a reality that needs facing. Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc Debbie wrote: Dear Doc, I found the email you replied to be extremely scary. So many of the science fiction movies have become reality.... I'm wondering if "Jerry's" solution to the oncoming codex will bring about the "solient green" factor. brrrrrrrr this makes my hair stand on end. Should we start stockpiling seed privately now? Once our sustaining food is taken away, will we then have start memorizing our books also (farenheit 451)? I read a few weeks ago that President Chavez of Venezuela dumped monsanto (yaaaaay!). He stated it was part of their constitution to keep their food supply untainted and he was upholding the laws of their land. Why do we not have a clause like this in our constitution. This makes we wonder about us (the U.S.) How could our forefathers forget something as important as our food. Did not our first "Thanksgiving Feast" mean more to them then just a good meal after a long bitter winter? How did a third world country such as Venezuela get it and a super power like the United States not get it? We have gotten so far away from the true basics of life.... food, water and air. What planet will we be able to fall to (the man who fell to earth)? Or will we be left having to build stations outside of our own atmosphere just for food production (2001:a space odessy). I am not a big fan of science fiction; I am just amazed and concerned how real life is mirroring fiction. Are the authors/writers of these books and movies the "prophets" of our time? I hope Jerry gets a grip and takes your advice and not give up. I will!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hi Debra, I get my seeds from these 2 places. I would suggest you research them a bit to decide which one you prefer. I'm leaning toward the Seed Savers Exchange as I like their stated purpose and they are a smaller operation than Seeds of Change in New Mexico. Here is the info on both: Seed Savers Exchange - www.seedsaversexchange.org Phone: 563-382-5990 Seeds of Change - www.seedsofchange.com Phone: 1-888-762-7333 They also sell high integrity foods such as salsa and spag. sauce. I pay almost twice as much for their products over the other supposedly " Organic " . They use top notch ingredients and don't toss in non organic and junk at the end of the label like other companies do. My must have list includes: Peppers, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Squash, and Basil for starters. It depends on where you live and what grows well. Pick things that do well in your climate and also keep in mind what you like and what you and your family will eat. Check out " Companion Planting " a concept that recommends planting certain plants next to other plants as they do well together and discourage certain pests so that you have healthy plants. We can see what Doc says he would add. Valorie Debra L. Garrett wrote: > > Doc, > > Where is a good place to purchase seeds.
