8) 7 Rules For Life

1st

Don’t let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life.

Relationships work best when they are balanced.
2nd

Never explain yourself to anyone.

Because the person who likes you doesn’t need it, and the person who doesn’t like you won’t believe it.

3rd

When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free.

When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time.

When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come.

4th

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices.

Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.

Choice is yours.

5th

We make them cry who care for us.

We cry for those who never care for us.

And we care for those who will never cry for us.

This is the truth of life, it’s strange but true. Once you realize this, it’s never too late to change.

6th

Don’t make promise when you are in joy.

Don’t reply when you are sad.

Don’t take decision when you are angry.

Think twice, act twice.

7th

Time is like river. You can’t touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Naomi Susan

OMG! Pink Ribbon Must See Movie, New Class and other Info!

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Alexi Bracey| Leave a comment

Hello Fellow Health Seekers:

The Canadian Film Board produced a movie “The Pink Ribbon” which was in the running at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) this past fall. It is playing in Toronto Theatres for two weeks, I was not able to find out when the two weeks is up. It documents the Pharma controlled cancer trade. The pink ribbon should be reversed 180 degrees…it is a noose, not a support for cancer.

It is playing at larger cities across Canada. I am sorry I do not know where my American friends may view this movie, perhaps a google search would help.

The trailer review is:

http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=699583B7404F5C4ECC5D99DA4D982932

There was a very disturbing article about the spraying of our vegetables last week in Dr Mercolas website. I have added the link:

Menu includes: Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting, Mango Macaroon Tartlets, Raspberry Ganache Chocolate Cake, Chia Chai Pudding and Apple Cobber with Apple Crumble. Recipes will be provided. These recipes do not require a dehydrator, just lots of love. $65 prepaid

On another note, I have been promoting www.ewg.org with regards to their Dirty Dozen and Healthy Fifteen foods that you should eat organic, Well, the latest research which is very disturbing has shown that up to 1/3 of our flouride body content is a result of cyrolite (sodium aluminum flouride) that is sprayed on non organic vegetables and fruits as iceburg lettuce, citrus fruits, raisins(grape juice, which is the basis of all fruit juices). So bottom line, YOU HAVE TO EAT ORGANIC or grow your own garden.

See the clip below:

This borders on the ridiculous. We jump up and down giving high-fives every time we get a community to remove fluoride from the water supply. The fact is that fluoride is so embedded in our food supply system that a little in the water is of no consequence anyway.

The time, the effort, the press; it goes on and on. This huge amount of effort I guess does give one the feeling of a moral victory, but the fact is while we have been so focused on the water, they have doubled, tripled and quadrupled our intake from other sources. Fluoride is even a major component if Ritalin!

Is it any wonder why THEY do not want home-grown gardens, organics, etc and gives us the small victory of fluoride removal from a water system?

Cryolite – sodium aluminum fluoride. Now there is a winning combination.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/04/jeff-green-on-fluoride-toxins-part-2.aspx?e_cid=20120204_DNL_art_1

There was an independent study done by Sweden and Canada testing the most pristine waters on the planet that were not inhabited within a 100 mile radius…guess what they found? There are no waters on the planet that are not contaminated by heavy metals to say nothing of other toxins. Please, I urge you to get a water filtration system to remove flouride, chlorine and heavy metals. The cyrolite spray on our foods is composed of chloromine and hydroflourosillic acid which leeches lead from your pipes.

Individuals think that if they live in the country and are not using city treated water they are safe…WRONG! The water basin has metals in it that are not detected when you have your well water tested for bacteria count.

I use a Kangen water system with added filtration for Chlorine and Flouride and heavy metals. It is a system used in 80% of the schools and hospitals in Japan. If you would like more info, please contact me.

As most you you know I shared my heart and opened up to my challenges over Xmas..a little glitch right now. I have to leave my present residence as the owners son and his family are experiencing some financial challenges and are moving back home, which means I have to leave by the end of Feb. So, I am looking for a new place to call home, country setting within a 100 km radius of Burlington or similar, pet friendly and high speed internet. So, if any of you know /are open to / please email me.

It has been delightful connecting with so many of you, some I know, some not… yet…your support, encouragement, little notes…I truly appreciate. You never know in what way you may have been an influence in someones life.. a lift…a smile..a word of encourgement. From the bottom of my heart..a deep felt thank you.

As always,

LIVE LIFE RAW

Toxic Casein Protein

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Alexi Bracey| Leave a comment

Casein Protein – The Dangers

Over that last decade or so we have heard much in the media about casein protein and autistic children. Health food stores even carry products now that state whether they are “casein free”.

Many autistic children are put on casein and gluten free diets as a form of treatment, but what about the general population? Should we be concerned about casein?

What Is Casein Protein And Why The Fuss?

First of all casein is a protein found in milk and other dairy products. In his book, The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, reports how he discovered, over many years of cancer research, a possible link between animal protein intake and cancer development. Although Campbell was raised on a farm and loved his milk and eggs and sausage, his scientific curiosity was peaked through the research he conducted as well as reviewed. Because of these potential links he found, he was finally able to receive funding to study the possible effects of protein on cancer. What he discovered was that protein did indeed promote cancer development. However it was not all types of protein. What Campbell discovered was that casein, which comprises 85% of the protein in cow’s milk, promoted cancer in all stages of its development. The safe protein, that which did not promote cancer, was plant based.

The Cancer Casein Connection

In fact, the connection between casein and cancer was so profound that the scientists could literally turn cancer growth on and off in the laboratory animals, like a light switch, simply by altering the level of casein protein in their diets. Interestingly, they also found that feeding the animals the same levels of plant based protein (gluten and soy) did not at all promote cancer growth.

Next, Campbell was able to take his research into the real world. In the early 1980’s a joint effort was established between Cornell University, Oxford University and China’s health research laboratory. The researchers gathered data on 367 variables, across 65 counties in China and 6,500 adults. The research was conducted over a 10 year period and was funded by both the Chinese and the United States government.

The Cancer and Animal Protein Connection

The results of the China Study showed that nutrition has a very powerful influence on a multitude of diseases. Animal based foods were linked to higher breast cancer rates and higher blood cholesterol levels. Whereas plant based diets were connected to low incidents of breast cancer rates and cholesterol levels. Fiber and antioxidants from plant foods were also linked to lower levels of digestive tract cancers. Between Campbell’s research and many other studies, it appears that good science – well thought out and planned studies – are painting a consistent picture between diet and health. Because of this research we are now able to largely reduce our risk of developing deadly diseases just by eating the right food.

The Good News

Casein protein was found to promote cancer in the controlled animal studies which Campbell administered. However, further research results, particularly those of the China Study, have shown there to be a remarkable link between animal protein in general and many different diseases not just cancer alone.

The good news about this research is that good health and good food are hugely connected and largely very simple. Eating a whole foods, plant based diet is the best thing you can do for your health and your future.

For more information, please read The China Study.
