Aprils Lucheon - Restoring not just the body, but the mind and Spirit


This month we are excited to have Chuck Juhn with us. Chuck is a teacher and educator. His been long time advocate of living foods. He's learned Wigmore's approach to diet and health will compare aspects of systems developed by Dr.Wigmore, Dr. Max Gerson, and Dr. Lorraine Day as applied to chronic disease.

Restoring not just the body, but the mind and Spirit is an article that was written by and Chuck Juhn KK Fowlkes. In it they shared insights about living foods. "According to many ecclesiastical leaders, the mind is part of the spirit, not the body and the spirit is composed of a very fine matter.

Regardless, both mind and spirit reside within the body, and are nourished and supported in some way by the body and what we take into it in the form of air, food, impressions, and other energies. We are further affected by what we think and feel, and how we act. That said, life is much more complicated than any of us know, or can imagine. We do know that a great energy animates us and that when this energy is gone, our bodies become lifeless.

Does science agree with this? If we look at Einstein’s theory (E=mc2). The energy content of a body is equal to the mass of the body times the speed of light squared) we understand that everything that exists is composed of light waves. We understand that our actual spirits, this very fine matter that gives life to the human body is actually wave or light energy.

Some schools of thought speak of energy vortices composed of the colors of light." For more amazing insights on Living foods and how they heal your body, come join us on April 28th at Wheelers Farm, or check this website. http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/issue23.htm

And remember to bring a raw food dish to share, and the recipe. See you there!!

Love For Rwandan Orphans

After becoming aware that more than 800,000 Rwandan children have been orphaned by the 1994 genocide and epidemic diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria.

As I looked at my own grandchildren I could not imagine so many suffering children. So not to long ago I decided I had to do something and that where I got the idea to host a special dance night as a fund rising event. And together we can reach out to children of Rwanda.

Come join me on May 16th from 7-10
at wheeler farm. As we dance to the music of the 40's and 50's. If you'd like to assist with this benefit contact me at (801) 718-3936 andracoccimiglio@hotmail.com or visit the blog site at the following web address. http://helpingorphansinrwanda.blogspot.com

Agi's Raw Food Tips Make March Luncheon A Success

Kick the Bag Habit!



Did you know?


* Up to 90% of floating debris is plastic, which never biodegrades.
* Plastic trash has entangled, suffocated, or poisoned at least 267 known animal species worldwide.
* A study found an average of three pieces of trash along every foot of streams leading to San Francisco Bay – half of which is plastic.
* 1.37 million plastic bags were removed from coastal areas worldwide on just one day.
We each can make a difference by making a choice to use cloth shopping bags or reusing plastic bags when returning to purchase produce. Creating a healthier body is one thing but making the world less trashed is another. Get involved.

The Bay vs. The Bag

This month for our luncheon we are very fortunate to have Agi Habeller, from "Agi's".She is a wonderful woman, I have heard her speak many times, and never hear the same thing twice.

She was born and raised in Eastern Europe, Hungary. She worked as a pre-school teacher in Hungary and immigrated to U.S. in 1985. She moved to Utah in 1996 and shortly afterwards, she became ill with severe colon problems and endometriosis.

Agi was scheduled for surgery, when she started taking cayenne pepper following a friend's advice. After changing her diet and cleansing her body with wholesome herbs, she became symptom free.

She graduated from Dr. Christoper's School of Natural Healing as a Master Herbalist in 2001, and has been working in the health food field ever since. She owns Agi's Raw Foods since 2003 and sells her delicious raw foods to many of the health food stores in Utah.

Agi will be demonstrating one of her recipes on Tuesday the 24th, 11:15, Wheeler Farm, and we so excited, she will be bringing some of her foods for us to purchase! Agi also has a new recipe book available. This is one luncheon that you won't want to miss. It will be yummy and we look forward to all the creative dishes that each of you bring. Remember to bring a dish to serve 10-15 and a serving utensil, and recipe.

Raw food and cooked food, comparison

Raw Food Diet vs. Cooked Food

Our bodies are designed to partake of raw foods only. Foods that have been cooked, frozen, canned or processed are dead foods, or actually not foods at all. Cooked foods are poisons to us. Now I realize that the average American has not reached the point where he will accept or under stand this but I say it anyway: My own true definition of a food is "a substance that nourishes or fuels the body with life-giving force (i.e. enzymes, electric or vital energy, chlorophyll, minerals, vitamins, etc.), thereby strengthening, energizing and building it, without depleting or causing any hindrance to its functions.

Food is not simply something one puts in the mouth, chews, and swallows. Food should not deplete or rob the body of its needed essence or harm it in any way. Dead or dying foods take an enormous toll on the body. Consider these facts about cooked, frozen, canned, and processed foods:

* they have been depleted of most vitamins
* they create toxins
* they drain the life force from the body
* they harm the constructive bacteria in the intestines
* they produce harmful bacteria in the intestines
* they poison the bloodstream, thereby feeding disease
* they clog the body's lymph system
* they drain the body's enzyme reserve
* they overwork and clog the elimination systems
* they strain the glandular system, especially the endocrine glands
* they overwork the digestive system
* they cause stress, congestion and mucus
* they produce the ideal environment for parasites
* they lower our consciousness, our vibration

The Pottengers Cat Study parallels similar human studies. The basic summary is: cooked food is poison to every animal on earth, and humans are not excluded. Notice that God never issues stoves when He creates people. Cooked food is unnatural (maybe "normal" but not natural) to the human body however, in our society there are even more unnatural substances that cause worse damage than cooked foods.

Important Fact

If everyone in our country went on a raw food diet, what do you think would happen? Most people would get very sick. Some might even die. Most people cannot handle raw foods because their digestive tracts have already been ruined. People need to rebuild the digestive system, but before they can do that they must cleanse the digestive system. This includes cleansing and rebuilding the liver, the pancreas, and the stomach. They must also build up their alkaline reserve. If we really want to be healthy, strong, and 100% free of disease, we all need to eat raw food that has all its natural ingredients, which is usually found only in food organically grown in naturally balanced soil. Remember this: Only healthy people can live entirely on a raw food diet.

Other causes of disease are Root Canals and Silver Fillings, which are called amalgams . They contain 52% mercury, one of the most deadly poisons known. (See "Some Hidden Causes Of Disease" in Chapter 19.)

Example: Approximately 13 to 16% or 1 out of 6 Americans are now sterile. This condition is getting worse every year, not better.

[4] Dr. Bernard Jensen: Iridology Volume 2, pg. 250

[5] We seldom hear about parasite problems in the U.S. Yet even ten years ago it was recorded in medical journals that at least 55 million American children have serious parasitic infections. Parasites kill more people than any other disease in the world. Here is another flaw in the medical religion: they fail to examine for parasites, and they seldom know what to do about it when they do find them.

It is common that people who drink pasteurized milk also have respiratory, ear, mucus, and calcium problems. It is known that the number one cause of rheumatic fever (heart) is caused by too much pasteurized milk and other dairy products.

Are you aware of how hard the government has tried to initiate the use of irradiation to bombard our food with nuclear radiation? Do you know why irradiation helps to preserve food longer? It destroys the living enzymes and bacteria. This would cause another major leap towards more sickness and disease.The question has been asked, “If this study is true, then how is it that all the cats people have as pets are still alive?” The answer may be, love.When my friend and I traveled 5 states foraging wild herbs for our meals, our strength, endurance and mental clarity increased very noticeably within 2 weeks. Neither of us had ever felt better.

Six Reasons Why Obama Appointing Monsanto's Buddy, Former Iowa Governor Vilsack, for USDA Head Would be a Terrible Idea



*Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack's support of genetically engineered pharmaceutical crops, especially pharmaceutical corn:
http://www.gene.ch/genet/2002/Oct/msg00057.html
http://www.organicconsumers.org/gefood/drugsincorn102302.cfm

* The biggest biotechnology industry group, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, named Vilsack Governor of the Year. He was also the founder and former chair of the Governor's Biotechnology Partnership.
http://www.bio.org/news/pressreleases/newsitem.asp?id=200...

* When Vilsack created the Iowa Values Fund, his first poster child of economic development potential was Trans Ova and their pursuit of cloning dairy cows.

* Vilsack was the origin of the seed pre-emption bill in 2005, which many people here in Iowa fought because it took away local government's possibility of ever having a regulation on seeds- where GE would be grown, having GE-free buffers, banning pharma corn locally, etc. Representative Sandy Greiner, the Republican sponsor of the bill, bragged on the House Floor that Vilsack put her up to it right after his state of the state address.

* Vilsack has a glowing reputation as being a schill for agribusiness biotech giants like Monsanto. Sustainable ag advocated across the country were spreading the word of Vilsack's history as he was attempting to appeal to voters in his presidential bid. An activist from the west coast even made this youtube animation about Vilsack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmoc4Qgcm4s
The airplane in this animation is a referral to the controversy that Vilsack often traveled in Monsanto's jet.

*Vilsack is an ardent support of corn and soy based biofuels, which use as much or more fossil energy to produce them as they generate, while driving up world food prices and literally starving the poor.

Oppose Tom Vilsack's Confirmation as Secretary of Agriculture

Despite a massive public outcry, including over 20,000 emails from the Organic Consumers Association, President-Elect Obama has chosen former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack to be the next Secretary of Agriculture.

While Vilsack has promoted respectable policies with respect to restraining livestock monopolies, his overall record is one of aiding and abetting Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) or factory farms and promoting genetically engineered crops and animal cloning. Equally troubling is Vilsack's support for unsustainable industrial ethanol production, which has already caused global corn and grain prices to skyrocket, literally taking food off the table for a billion people in the developing world.

The Organic Consumers Association is calling on organic consumers and all concerned citizens to join our call to action and block Vilsack's confirmation as the next Secretary of Agriculture. Please help us reach our goal of 100,000 petition signatures against Vilsack' nomination. Sign today!

Your email will be sent to your Senators and the President-Elect's office. For more information, check out our alternative candidates for Secretary of Agriculture and six reasons why Vilsack is a terrible choice.

Celebrating A healthier life and planet in 2009

So come join us for our New Year's luncheon

Tues. the 27th
place: Wheeler Farm, barn
Time 11:15 a.m
Bring a fun raw healthy dish from God's garden
to serve 8-10, and a serving utensil and recipe.

We will be featuring Affluenza (Hard to Find PBS Documentary) There is something we can each do to be aware of our world.

Over a decade ago, John Javna wrote a small book entitled "50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save the Earth." He published it himself, and to his surprise, it sold 5 million copies. It gave readers hundreds of ideas, from taking a cloth bag to the store to installing low-flow shower heads. In the new version (Hyperion, $12.95), Javna takes a different approach.

The organic food movement is an example. There's a growing conviction that eating organic is better for our bodies and better for the planet: fewer pesticides and less synthetic fertilizer to pollute rivers and streams. But buying only organic food is expensive and a huge commitment.

Javna suggests starting small. Decide you will spend $25 a week on organic food. If you have small children, you may want to begin with organic milk, and include soft fruit such as strawberries, tomatoes, apples, grapes and peaches, which retain higher levels of pesticide residues. for more information on things you can do check out his suggestion at

An Apple (Peel) a Day Really Will Keep Docs Away

Researchers Recommend Apple Peel for Cancer Protection

Apple PeelApple peel may be more nutritious than apple flesh for people trying to keep cancer at bay, according to researchers at the Cornell Institute. Cornell researchers claim to have identified a dozen compounds called triterpenoids in apple peel that either inhibited or killed cancer cells in lab cultures.

"We found that several compounds have potent anti-proliferative activities against human liver, colon and breast cancer cells and may be partially responsible for the anti-cancer activities of whole apples," said Rui Hai Liu, Cornell associate professor of food science. He and his colleagues analyzed the peel from 230 pounds of red delicious apples and isolated their individual compounds. They then tested the pure compounds against cancer cell growth.

Previous Cornell studies have shown that apples appear to fight cancer cells in the laboratory and reduce the number and size of mammary tumors in rats.

This latest research has led Cornell scientists to suggest the triterpenoids may be doing much of the anti-cancer work."Some compounds were more potent and acted differently against the various cancer cell lines, but they all show very potent anti-cancer activities and should be studied further," said Liu.

Liu and his team have also previously identified compounds called phytochemicals - mainly flavonoids and phenolic acids - in apples and other foods that appeared to have similar anti-cancer properties and inhibit tumor growth in human breast cancer cells.

"We believe that a recommendation that consumers eat five to 12 servings of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables daily is appropriate to reduce the risks of chronic diseases, including cancer, and to meet nutrient requirements for optimum health," concluded Liu.Researchers at Cornell also believe that apples could fight the neurodegenerative disease Alzheimers disease.

Apples remain one of the most popular fruits going. European consumers crunch their way through about 45 pounds of apples a year, compared to U.S. consumers, who eat about 20 pounds of apples per year. Source: NutraIngredients Europe; Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

A movie in the right direction

While raw planet foods are the highest in nutrition many people including many of our own family members still like meat now and again, it was comforting to read the following report that was published about foods from cloned animals.

Center for Food Safety

In Washington, D.C., September 14, 2007 – The Center for Food Safety (CFS) today welcomed an announcement by Smithfield Foods, Inc., the world’s largest pork processor and hog producer, stating that the company is not moving to produce food from cloned animals, and is taking a cautious approach to the new technology. Smithfield previously funded the pig cloning company Prolinia, and continued to support cloning after Viagen, the leading pig cloning company, acquired Prolinia in 2003.

Smithfield LogoIn a statement issued recently, the company announced "Smithfield Foods is not planning to produce meat products from cloned animals. The science involved in cloning animals is relatively new. As thoughtful leaders in our industry, we will continue to monitor this technology."

“It is very encouraging when a company that has pushed for this technology now says that they agree with our concerns about this untested science,” said Joseph Mendelson, Legal Director of the Center for Food Safety. Source: http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org
