Published on Leave a comment on The Benefits Of Wholesome ‘Spelt’ Ancient Grains Instead Of ‘Modern Wheat’

MANY OF US HAVE BECOME AWARE OF HOW ANTI-NUTRITIONAL WHEAT (Modern Wheat) IS, HAVING BEEN HYBRIDISED SO MANY TIMES - IT'S GLUTEN IS ACTUALLY BAD FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CELIACS. THERE IS ALSO A SURGE OF INTEREST IN ANCIENT GRAINS LIKE SPELT AND QUINOA AND KHORASAN WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN HYBRIDISED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD MY FIRST EXPERIENCE MAKING SPELT BREAD AND SPELT & KHORASAN BREAD IN A BREADMAKER. HAVE BEEN MAKING A FEW TOO MANY EXCEPTIONS WITH WHEAT CRACKERS AND SEED BREADS (basically wheat bread) AT ALDI'S. NOW I CAN MAKE MY OWN and NO NEED FOR CRACKERS, MY WHOLESOME BREAD IS NATURALLY CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE AND SOFT INSIDE. YUM!

What Is Spelt?

Spelt is an ancient grain widely recognized for its many health benefits. Triticum spelta, the scientific name for spelt, is a hardier and more nutritious cousin to modern wheat (Triticum aestivum). Some taxonomists classify spelt as a parent of wheat.

One of the earliest domesticated grains, spelt hasn’t changed since Biblical times. It remains unaffected by concepts such as ‘agribusiness’, ‘cross-breeding,’ ‘hybridization’ and ‘genetically modified’ – words that have come to dominate our modern food supply.…

Published on Leave a comment on Market Growers, Give Up Nasty Chemicals And Try Soilcharge Instead

I Came Across This Company 6 Years Ago In 2015. They Deeply Feel A Commitment To Growers And Commercial Enterprise, Devoted To Changing The Depleted Soil Across Australia. I Have Spoken To Graeme Joyce The Founder Of Soilcharge, A Few Times And Heard His Vision For Australian Growers And Our Soil. His Focus Back Then Was To Make His Natural/Organic Products Affordable For The Average Grower And Small Growers, And He Said To Me Today Over Phone "IT MUST BE SUCCESSFUL"........So That's The Standard For His Products. He Has Also Shared Testimonies Of Satisfied Customers In Addition To Those Found On His Website, I Will Place In This Post.

Published on 2 Comments on GMOs (Genetically Modified Foods) And Pesticides: How Safe Are They Really?

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

Extensive Reading. Recently Updated.

Friends, You Need To Know The True Facts On Monsanto's GMOs And Glyphosates. Misleading Information Abounds And Comes From Surprising Places (you don’t expect). It’s Alright To Be Cautious. We Need To Be These Days. There Are Big Profits And So Much Greed Out There, As Most Of Us Know.

This Post Will Show Pro GMO Supporters And INFO Sources To Be Very Ignorant Or Deliberately Misleading. Some Intelligent People Suspect Big Pharma And The Chemical Industry To Be Close Allies, Due To So Many People Getting Sick From Chemicals And Then They Have Chemical Drugs Prescribed To Them By Their MD/GPs.

That would not surprise me if it is so because concerns I address in Research on damages caused by Medical Drugs and Agricultural Chemicals goes pretty much hand in hand - generally speaking. It is interesting to note here that BAYER Manufactures make Both. If you do a Google search for Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Agriculture Products, I think you may be surprised what you find.

Can you see the question that comes to mind when researching? It's a possibility that Big Ag and Big Pharma and the Food Giant companies who are so persistent in adding Chemicals to almost everything we but in the Supermarkets have been close Allies for decades.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Is There So Much SOY In Everything? We Should Stand Up To These Manufacturers!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

“NO, I DON’T WANT SOY WITH THAT”

Diet Shakes With Soy (added) Bread With Soy, Schnitzel With Soy, Burgers With Soy, Quiche With Soy, Chorizo With Soy Etc Get The Picture? And Everyone Says “YES!”……….”We Don’t Want Soy!” It’s In Almost Everything You Can Think Of. Yes Anything You Can Imagine, If You Haven’t Checked The Packets, Cans And Labels. And We Should Tell Them “NO! I’m Not Buying That”……..Your Best Way To Protest is: Speak Up And Leave The Products On The Shelves (this is more effective in numbers, the more of us the better, don’t wait for someone else). Tell The Cafes, Bakeries And Restaurants “NO SOY”……. Give These Manufacturers, Shops And Venues A Hard Time, So They Have To Take Notice Of Us. Enough IS Enough. They’ve Placed Enough Impositions On Us (for convenience, to cut corners) Lets Impose Our Standards On Them – We’re Far Too Passive, We Didn’t Speak Up. Friends, We Need To Do This.

I Will Give You Enough Reasons To In This Post. Is SOY Healthy? NO! One Of The Major Mistakes Made By Professionals And Health Stores Alike And Now We Have This Problem.…

Published on Leave a comment on An Absolute Kudos To SA Wine Region For Wishing To Stay GMO Free!

IN ADDITION TO THEIR PRINCIPLE OF PRODUCING AND MAINTAINING TOP QUALITY WINE, I HAVE DONE CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ON THE LIKES OF MONSANTO - THEY ARE VERY SHADY, TO SAY THE LEAST. I WILL PLACE LINKS TO TWO OF MY WEBSITES IN SUPPORT TO DECISIONS LIKE THIS. THE SA GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK PROPERLY CONCERNING THEIR DECISION TO ALLOW GMO CROPS INTO THE STATE. THERE ARE REAL FACTORS, I BELIEVE, THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF TO APPROVE SUCH A THING! THE MCLARENVALE WINE REGION HAS SOME SMART DECISION MAKERS - IT IS WISE TO DO DUE DILIGENCE IN SUCH MATTERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

Key SA Wine Region Leads Push To Remain GM-Free

From Indaily.Com.Au

South Australia’s largest council is poised to be the first to ask permission to ban genetically modified crops from its borders following a push from McLaren Vale’s wine industry, which says the lifting of a moratorium will cost the region millions.

Onkaparinga councillors will decide tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 15) if they will ask for the district to be given non-GM crop designation following months of public consultation.

Legislation lifting a 16 Year Ban on Genetically Modified Crops in SA was passed by state parliament in May.…

Published on Leave a comment on Field Trials Show Flowers Help Beat Vegetable Pests – Read This!

GLAD TO KNOW AT LEAST ONE PROFESSOR IS INTERESTED TO STUDY NATURE'S WAY AND PROMOTING HIS FINDINGS. ORGANIC GARDENERS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL US THESE THINGS FOR YEARS. COMMERCIAL FARMERS MAKE THEM OUT TO BE THE 'ODD BODS' SO TO SPEAK. TODAY'S TOXIC AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY HAS MUCH TO ANSWER FOR - THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUILDUP OF CHEMICALS IN PEOPLE'S SYSTEMS, THEIR BODY CANNOT HANDLE - ALONG WITH BIG PHARMA AND THE COMMERCIAL FOOD INDUSTRY. HONESTLY, RIGHT THERE IS THE REASON WHY MOST PEOPLE ARE SICK. IT'S NOT NORMAL, IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T KNOWN ANY DIFFERENT BUT OUR FOR-PARENTS DID AND THEY WERE WELL. TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WE CANNOT IMPROVE ON NATURE - WE'RE BEST WORKING WITH HER - NOW, TO SEE WHY. SHALL WE GO?

COMPANION planting of flowers near vegetable crops is nothing new but a researcher is aiming to more fully document the benefits on a commercial level.

Charles Sturt University and Hort Innovation research is further exploring how the planting of flowers within vegetable crops encourages beneficial insects which keep pests in check.

The research aims to help vegetable growers adopt integrated pest management (IPM) methods that are simple, cost-effective, fit with mainstream farming, and reduce costs.…
