Lyme-Induced Autism?

A very close friend of mine shared this video link with me. She has been treated for Lyme Disease and now her 4 year old daughter is being treated after testing positive.

Lyme Disease is considered one of the fastest growing epidemics in the world. Lyme Disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, or Bb. This bacteria causes, mimics, is manifested as, is misdiagnosed as, or is a contributing factor to over 300 conditions, such as Acute Meningitis, Fibromyalgia, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and 295 other illnesses. Contrary to popular beliefs, Lyme Disease is not transmitted solely by ticks. Mosquitoes, fleas, and mites can also transmit Lyme Disease.

In this presentation, Dietritch Klinghardt, MD addresses Lyme Induced Austism (LIA). It is a 2-hour video. Very educational! Leave a comment and share your thoughts.

Here is the link to the video.

Chemicals Making Americans Overweight?

In 2009 the term "obesogen" made the news. The quantity of food Americans eat may not be the only reason for the country's obesity problem. Some chemicals found in food are affecting our hormonal systems, causing Americans to gain unnatural amounts of weight.

Mahna Mahna | The Muppet Show

Okay, allow me one funny. My boys howl at this ... and I do, too! Sometimes improvisation works, sometimes it doesn't—and that goes for in the kitchen, too! You should have seen the fat-free muffins I baked today—total flop. Doo doo doo do do.

The Future of Food | Documentary

Wow! What a look behind the scenes. Ever wonder what the big deal is with GMO's (genetically modified organisms)? The Future of Food, released in 2004, sheds a lot of light on the subject. This documentary distills the complex technology and key regulatory, legal, ethical, environmental and consumer issues surrounding the troubling changes happening in the food system today—genetically engineered foods, patenting, and the corporatization of food—into terms the average person can easily understand. It empowers consumers to understand the consequences of their food choices on our future.

Earth Fare Supermarket's explains succinctly why GMO's are bad.

Definition of GMO: "The abbreviation for genetically modified organism. A GMO is an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there." YIKES!
