Published on Leave a comment on The Pumpkin Effect: What It Does To Your Hands If The Dew Dries On Them

I had this happen recently when after cutting half a Pumpkin in segments to store in my Fridge. The moisture from the Pumpkin dried quickly on my hand and my skin went noticeably Very Dry. I went to wash my hands and the water did not make any difference. Then I moisturized my hands and that didn't make much difference either. To my astonishment, the moisture from the Pumpkin - over the 6-10 minutes I was firmly gripping it to cut it, had what I felt was an acid affect. Then I found the following Article on the Net that evening, when I checked the notion I had and found it was true. It gave me enough Validation to say "I think I will place this on Ours Australia, to let my Readers know about it" so here we go!

Why Butternut Squash Hurts Your Hands
By Backyard Gardening Blog

Many a gardener will grow butternut squash, and eagerly watch the fruits develop, counting the days, hoping they’re not ruined by an early frost. Then harvest time, and the gardener can’t wait. They take the squash inside and immediately start cutting it up, about 5 minutes later they’re aghast and trying to figure out why their hands are red and peeling and constricted.…

Published on Leave a comment on What to Feed Ducks and Geese by Happy Wanderer.

They have Lots of Info! They Say: You Can Feed Them These Alternatives to Bread - As a kid, we regularly got rid of stale bread by taking it down to the pond and feeding the wild ducks. Unfortunately, it is really bad to feed bread to ducks, geese, swans, waterbirds and other wild birds. Beyond the harm it causes the birds, it also pollutes the environment. Here’s what to feed ducks instead of bread, and these alternatives are much healthier for both your feathered friends and the planet.

For Too Long, I Didn't Read

Bread is bad for ducks, geese, and other waterbirds. Like really bad. So just don’t.

I have always loved ducks, from when I was a preschooler to the flock I strolled by every day on campus during graduate school. As a kid, my sister and I thought we were being good citizens of the planet by taking our old bread to the ducks at a nearby pond. In school at the University of New Mexico, I often ate my lunch by the duck pond on campus, sharing a few chunks of bread from my sandwich or a few potato chip crumbs with the braver web-footed creatures who approached me.…

Published on Leave a comment on “Nutrition Experts” OR Puppets ON Strings? Who Are YOU Trusting In?

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Do you believe Everything you Hear and Read? As a Researcher, I don't - there is so much Ignorance and Flawed Medical Science out there. Deliberate attempts of the Food Industry to give Misleading Guidelines and Advice to the Public. Even to Practitioners. They do this for Their Advantage - Not Your Health!

We have Dedicated Whistle Blowers to Thank for Some Knowledge which has gone Public for sometime now. Highly skilled Workers from their Science Lab Departments etc. They left those Companies out of Conscience because much of what they had to do for those Giant Food Companies really Offended them. That is, Harming People's Health to Earn a Living. They just could not do it anymore! Can you blame them?

The Misleading Advice Friends, is a Classic for INVESTED INTERESTS if ever there was one! So Truth of the matter is, Who are You Trusting In for Nutritional Advice? And what's the Real Source of Their Advice? YES! It's a Corrupt Industry - these Food Giants - who have Infiltrated Official Government Bodies and certain Medical Laws in Relation to Nutrition, and have Saturated the Market Place with All Manner of UNHEALTHY FOODS with "Healthy" CLAIMS…….…

Repair Café Inspires The World

“In Europe, we throw out so many things,” says Martine Postma, long frustrated by our throwaway culture. “I wanted to do something about it.”

What she did was to open the first Repair Café in Amsterdam, a social space where people could learn to fix anything from vacuum cleaners and toys to jewellery and clothes—rather than throw them in the trash.

Repair Cafe Inspires The World!
The idea quickly spread. This year, the Amsterdam café marks its 10th anniversary—and has now inspired more than 1,500 other repair cafés around the world.…

Published on Leave a comment on What Do You Do When People Impose Their Religions? And Why Must They Do That!?

By Janet Vargas - Owner Of This Website

This Article is addressing Religious People who IMPOSE their Religion, and something much broader than aka Christians who Enjoy their Faith and their lives are balanced. I'm referring to all-manner of Religion that fills this Earth, and affects people's behavior - including Christian Cults.

Like the adage says "The proof is in the Pudding" after the likes of what I've heard and seen through the years - so many could possibly relate with this - I believe Religion (collectively) to be a "Devilish Agenda" rather than  Godly. How can I say that? Because most Religions Impose Religious Dogma rather than simply share some Answered Prayers that have been a  nice experience for them, whatever.

They're out to "Convert You" like it or not - even if you have a Religion  hey? Whatever your beliefs are, it has to be "their belief system" well and truly.......
yes it has to be Theirs or it's Wrong!

Let me Guess, most times, only those who subscribe to their Religion/System are allowed to go to Heaven. And mind you, some Religions won't even permit their adherents to know if they will be there or not.…

Published on Leave a comment on Adding Color To Your Plate May Lower Risk Of Cognitive Decline

Natural Health Article from Science Daily

A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of cognitive decline. The research is published in the July 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study looked at several types of flavonoids, and found that flavones and anthocyanins may have the most protective effect.

Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are considered powerful antioxidants. It is thought that having too few antioxidants may play a role in cognitive decline as you age.

"There is mounting evidence suggesting flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking skills from declining as you get older," said study author Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, of Harvard University in Boston, Mass. "Our results are exciting because they show that making simple changes to your diet could help prevent cognitive decline."

Published on Leave a comment on An Interesting Connection Between Our Mouth And Our Brain

Excerpts From 4 Articles!

This is very interesting. I've come across Information several times in recent years that Stress the Importance of Taking Care of our Oral Hygiene in relation to HEART HEALTH. Today, I found Information that Stresses the Importance of doing this for BRAIN HEALTH and how they are Closely Related. The Medical Profession has been Treating Everything as SEPARATE for decades, but it so turns out that Our Body Systems are INTERRELATED, as Natural Health Practitioners like a Naturopath will tell you. Remember how people were told that the Earth was FLAT before Columbus discovered it is ROUND? It just goes to show how Ignorant Science and the Medical Profession have been about a number of things, for a very long time.

This goes to show that our Body Parts are Intrinsically Related not Separate - that's Old Ignorant Science!
It has only been "discovered" in recent years that our GUT relates Very Closely to our BRAIN and the Same Neurotransmitters that are present in our Brain are present in our Gut - so it does really matter what Foods and Beverage we Ingest. Hey?

Not long ago, Wholistic Dentists made known that Heart Issues sometimes relate with Very Poor Dental Hygiene causing Dental Caries.…

Published on 2 Comments on Absolutely Criminal: What These Food Giant Manufacturers Do To OUR HEALTH – Please Read!

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs.

I'm Calling Them Out. To me, it's a Form of Witchcraft, what they do to our Food.
It really is! What do you call it when they make the Majority of Food Products damaging to Our Health with All-Manner-Of Hazardous TOXIC Chemicals day after day, year after year and they have absolutely NO Shame? It just goes from Bad to Worse incessantly to the extent that there's very few Groceries we can buy that aren't laden with Chemicals of some kind, to the point one feels Overwhelmed
by the whole thing, and many are pressured into Indifference when confronted
with a Question "What the heck do we buy now?"

JANET'S THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MATTER

To me, the People who Run those Companies are "Not Human" it's like their Conscience has been "Seared with a Hot Iron" because it's really Inhuman what they Do to Us - on a Major Scale. I would not want to be their Family, eating at their table - I would Choke because it's So Upsetting. In fact, I would get up and LEAVE. Seriously, I would!

It's pretty Evident that those People have "Sold their Souls to the Devil"
for the likes of MEGA MONEY and the sense of POWER that comes with that.…

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs.

"attending Medical Clinics."

Published on Leave a comment on An Explanation Of The Good and Evil That Fills This Earth – No Agendas!

Janet Vargas Owner Of This Website

“I don't believe what the World's Come to!
My Mind Boggles in Disbelief....is it a Bad Dream?"

If you find yourself thinking thoughts like this, reading this Post could make some sense to you. Is it right for me to write this Article? Maybe you will realize something you have not before after reading. I felt that maybe
I should write on this Topic because so many people are asking the Question "What's happening to this World? Why all this?"

Does Religion Put You Off? It does Me. There are so many who like to Impose Religious Dogmas - One Brand over Another. I do find Atheists just as Religious because they often like to Impose their Dogmas. It does however seem evident that Some people who Claim to be Atheists just like to Protect themselves from the likes of Religion. You can understand their sentiments - those Religious Impositions really do get too much sometimes, the people are so overbearing!

So rest assured I have No Religious agendas of any kind because personally, I do not have any Churchy or Religious Affiliations but Enjoy a Simple Walk with Jesus and relating with Him.…
