ALERT: Certified Organic Food Grown in U.S. Found Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide

By Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News Editor

Think you can avoid glyphosate by buying organic? Think again. A new investigation by Tropical Traditions reveals that many products in the organic grain market in the U.S. contain glyphosate residue at levels almost the same as conventional grains.

With over 80% of the U.S. food supply now reportedly contaminated with the herbicide glyphosate, many people are turning to USDA certified organic products to avoid this toxic chemical.

Tunisian Pumpkin Soup with Spelt Soda Bread

As the days turn blustery and chill, I could not resist adding this warming recipe to the collection. There is something about a spicy, smooth soup with pumpkin that tends to be especially inspiring during the Fall season. The chipotle pepper lends a bit of smokiness. For those of you who need a more mild version, omit the red pepper flakes. 

A recipe for spelt soda bread follows—the perfect compliment to a steaming bowl of soup. Spelt is a wonderful heirloom grain and is usually well tolerated by those who have a sensitivity to standard wheat.

Welcome to America’s only completely “Organic City”

(Earth We Are One) Imagine living in a city where all produce sold or served is guaranteed 100% organic by law, with zero crime rate and it’s own Institute For Natural Medicine and Prevention. Would you believe this city does exists? In the heartland of north America?

Too much of America is now controlled by the vast agro-chemical industry, poisoning us and our environment with genetically modified crops, fueled by corporate greed and manipulation. This has come with many well documented harmful effects on our health as well as the devastation of many species including bees, birds and butterflies.

However, back in 2001 Marharishi Vedic City, just 60 miles south of Iowa was officially incorporated. The city was inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who who introduced the technique of Transcendental Meditation (TM) more than 40 years ago and brought enlightenment to millions of people all over the world in a scientific, systematic manner. The name “Vedic” is derived from the Sanskrit word Veda,” meaning“knowledge.” Vedic philosophy is often referred to as the precursor to the modern Hinduism lifestyle.

A key move came in April 2005 when the Marharishi Vedic City council voted in favor of aban on the use of all synthetic pesticides and fertilizers within the city limits, making it officially the first all-organic city in the country, in line with the natural Vedic principles.

Is a HAARP Weather Weapon Causing the California Drought?

(Truthsteam Media) Radar events off the West Coast show why California is steeped in drought. Here’s a look at several events on the West Coast radar that definitely beg the question of whether or not we are all living in a James Bond movie where the weather is no longer a natural occurrence — and the California drought is an engineered disaster.

From artificial scarcity to pushing the man made global warming agenda…to higher prices for basic resources like water and food…to betting on weather derivatives on Wall St. and huge crop insurance payoffs…there are plenty of ways for corrupt people in high places to hold the rest of us hostage in order to make a cynical buck.

The Ebola and selenium connection—how a deficiency of this important mineral can make you susceptible to infectious disease

(Vaccine Resistance Movement) Selenium is an essential trace mineral and anti-oxidant, a primary stop-gap which enables the human body to adapt to (overcome) any viral infections circulating in the environment, and helps to prevent the typical Ebola-type symptoms (chiefly excessive hemorrhaging) from taking hold and ultimately killing the host.

Selenium helps regulate thyroid function and your overall metabolism, primarily by preventing an over-abundance of free-radicals in the body, converts T4 (free thyroxine) to T3 (triiodothyronine), supported by Vitamin E. Selenium deficiency also inhibits the body’s ability to process nutrients effectively.
