RIP to Another Famous Holistic Manhattan MD -Dr. Richard Ash

Posted by | Dec 27, 2015 | , ,

RIP to Another Famous Holistic Manhattan MD I was hoping we could at least get through the year without losing another holistic MD. Sadly, with the new year just around the corner, we have lost the beloved and well known Dr. Richard Ash, who practiced in New York City. He was a prominent figure in the community and had been interviewed recently by a few celebrities, which you can see below. His website (linked below) talks about the alternative therapies that he had researched, including how he weaned himself off the drug prednisone and back to good health. I have been...

Hershey is Dumping GM Sugar Beets & going GMO Free!

Posted by | Dec 27, 2015 | , ,

Hershey is Going GMO Free By Heather Callaghan Corporate demand largely fueled the proliferation of genetically modified and glyphosate-resistant sugar beets as a cheap source for sweeteners in candy, chocolates and beverages. Imagine getting a farming contract from a corporation as big as Hershey, for instance. Farmers could get back to work if they filled that demand for the white beets and hopped aboard the GMO train. Consumer apathy and demand for chocolate blissfully fueled the arrangement for a time. However, as consumers now walk away from GMOs, so must Big Chocolate. Enter: a huge step for candy-kind.

Fruit Walls: Urban Farming in the 1600s We are being told to eat local and seasonal food, either because other crops have been transported over long distances, or because they are grown in energy-intensive greenhouses. But it wasn’t always like that. From the sixteenth to the twentieth century, urban farmers grew Mediterranean fruits and vegetables as far north as England and the Netherlands, using only renewable energy. These crops were grown surrounded by massive “fruit walls”, which stored the heat from the sun and released it at night, creating a microclimate that could increase the temperature by more than...

How to make Almond milk in a jiffy from scratch!

Posted by | Dec 25, 2015 |

How to make Almond milk Buy almonds that are truly raw and NOT pasteurized (they exist) online or talk with your local health food store about finding them for you. It’s not always easy.  Soak almonds for at least 12 hours in purified  water with a pinch tsp sea salt. This is an essential step as it breaks down the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors and cultures beneficial enzymes in the almonds. (by the way, soaking nuts should be done before eating them as well. Soak nuts in salt water for 12 hours, rinse them, and dry in oven on...

The TSA can now force you to go through the body-scanner

Posted by | Dec 23, 2015 | ,

The TSA can now force you to go through the body-scanner Your next flight might include a mandatory trip through the body scanner, with the US government quietly changing the opt-out rules for searches. In a document published earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security outlined an update to the Advanced Imagery Technology protocols used by the TSA at US airports, adding a clause which allows officers to insist travelers go through the controversial machines. Previously, though the body scanners were present at many airports across the country, travelers were free to opt-out of the process. Billed as...
