George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time."

My THEORY About Fear & What It Has Done To Us Humans

Leave a comment

I wrote an article on how bad I think Vaccinations are for you and some have asked.  What can we do about it? Well, that is a hard question to answer, but I feel I have the answer. Might not be what you want to hear, but here it is.   Take A Look.

Years ago throughout Canada and the USA lived the Indian or if you like, Native folks.  These folks lived off the land without any of the homes we have today and ate what every grew around them.  They were, in my eyes the healthiest of all the people in the world.   Then came the white man. The Natives helped them get over their sickness and from that day forward, it was all down hill for them.   Actually, they were almost wiped off the face of the earth.  I feel, the reasoning behind all that has been done on this earth,  can all be summed up with one word, “Fear.”  Fear is something that everyone  has in them, but Fear, to the Natives was almost unheard-of.  They had no fear of dying, or, all that was around them.  If something came up, they figured out what to do about it, corrected it, and went about their day.  The white man seen this, and it bothered them to no end, so they brought  White Man Made Religion into their lives.  Was a hard thing to do, but they did it eventually.  With religion they could change their thinking and make fear the prominent ingredient.  They told them, if you don’t worship our god, you would go to hell, or a place not so good, might say they put the fear of god in them.  The ones that, couldn’t be changed, fought for their way of life and …  most died trying.  What a shame.  For myself, there is no hell, I just shake my head when folks get to chattin’ about them things.  Just a waste of time and energy. The things, I brought on board throughout my being, is what I can see, smell, hear, feel, or taste. One other, I give some mind to, is Intuition, but that is all, “Nothing Else.”  Got to say, I have had a real nice life too, thus far.  I figure, I am in a group of around 25% in this world, but we are growing in numbers each day, as folks are taking the blinders off slowly, and taking a serious look at what is around them.

OK,  the Natives were hooked and fear was a dominate factor in their lives.  Now along came, yep your right,  Governments, I call them Powers That Be. The only way for them to succeed and grow,  was for them to keep this fear growing throughout us humans, and right up till today, they have done a good job at it too.   Then came banks, they would say they took fear away from folks, but in reality they added to it more than one can ever imagine.  Doesn’t take a lawyer to figure them out.     Pharmaceutical companies, health officials, you name it then came on board, and today I would say  that fear is in every ones mind for most their conscious day. Kind of like a drug, as once you start it on its way, it is almost impossible to stop it.    Fear is something not to take lightly. It  grows inside us and thrives the more we use it.  It has started wars, and killed more people than any other thing on this earth. It needs to grow and for years now it has.  But things are slowly changing as there is a few of us that know, and can see what it is doing, how it has changed folks thinking, and them few are slowly bringing it out into the open,  so folks can see what is happening.  The bottom  line is this.  If fear is left to carry on  and us humans keep feeding it, we will continue to get sick.  We will continue to let others run our life, and given time we humans, will perish.  Again, what a shame, as if we would have just taken a bit of the Natives way, into our life way back when, this world would probably be free of wars, sickness, cults, man made religion, well, to many to name. So … my advice to folks today is this,  steadily work on the fear inside of you, and when ever it shows its ugly head, laugh it right out of your mind, get rid of it, fast. My Opinion Only, As Usual.

Vaccinations For Mumps, Measles,Chicken Pox, Whooping Cough, Good, Bad, Or Just Plain Nonsence?

2 Comments

For awhile now I have had folks ask me what my true view was on the sickness that is  happening here today.  Well giving it a lot of thought I have come to the conclusion that most of all the diseases we have today like Tonsillitis, Ear Infections, some Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, a lot of Flu  and Colds and top of the list cancer, have been brought to us through us  getting vaccinated when we were  young. My personal views on vaccinations is that they should have never been given to anyone. First off when the vaccines were first brought to being and given to children and adults  the diseases like the measles, mumps, chicken pox and whopping cough was already down to just a few.  In other words they were disappearing all on their own. When we started to give folks the vaccinations they actually went up a bit.  Problem was though, that as soon as the vaccinations were started, so did all kinds of other things and that is why today we have so many other problems.  How can you say this?  Well I can say this as it is like looking a huge blank wall, the evidence is right there in front of you and one just has to open ones eyes.  In reality one has to take off the blinders and all will be shown.

Here is my theory. Once the vaccinations were given to children or should say us humans, our body lost a lot of its amunity to things. .as our body didn’t have a chance in doing it on its own.   I feel that if we would have allowed our bodies to fight off these things like measles, mumps and so on, we would all have been a lot better off and stronger for doing so..  Also along with putting these vaccinations into our system we also put in formaldehyde, aluminum and mercury. When we put them toxic drugs into our system we are setting ourselves up for all kinds of new things to happen inside us, like new diseases, which is what is happening today. Might say they all are man made diseases.   Some say, look at overseas,  third world countries,  so many young ones are dying from just the measles alone and vaccinating them would save thousands.  I say they are not really dying from the measles, they are dying because of lack of nourishment in their diets.  If you gave these folks good food or showed them how to grow their own, along with vitamin A  and others, it would eventually wipe out them diseases all on their own and again their bodies would be a lot more stronger in doing so.  I also say things like the measles are in reality good for us. Myself I have had them all, not one of them put me in bed for any length of time or hurt me.  My body recognized them and dealt with them all on its own. How? Simple, I had a healthy environment and my body was well nourished.  Some say hey now how could the Powers That Be allow this to happen.  Simple, for one thing, after all these years they sure would have a hard time admitting to folks that they made a huge mistake.  Isn’t going to happen.  I can also give you a billion more reasons.  What are they? Well it’s a billion dollar a year buisness for the drug companies.  That should sum it up in a nutshel.  I got a bit more to say on the subject and will write up another post in the coming days.  Remember this is my opinion only.

Sunshine, Vitamin D, Sunburn Help, And Summer

Leave a comment

Well summer is on the way and sunshine is in abundance.  Sure is nice to sit outside on a nice sunny day and enjoy a coffee and take in Mother Nature as it happens. My wife and I live in the country, or should say surrounded by bush and miles away from the nearest city.  It’s a great life, and we can’t get enough of it.  With the sunshine now I hear all the time of the Powers That Be telling folks to stay out of the sunshine and if you do go out into it wear Sun-block and things like that. Myself I believe that is the worst thing you can do, as all you are doing is subjecting yourself to all kinds of sickness and  covering your body with not so good chemicals, which your body absorbs right in through the skin.    Sunshine is what the body needs to survive and stay healthy, it’s loaded with Vitamin D and all kinds of good things. Here is what I recommend.  If you’re not used to the sun, ease your way into the sun say for around ten minutes a day, then fifteen minutes a day, and so on.  That way your skin will toughen up and you won’t burn.   Thing is, today most folks figure the sun is bad and that is wrong.   I have been out in the sun for hours on end with a hat for pretty well all my life and never get a sunburn.  Why?  Well my body is used to it and it adapts.  For a healthy body you need sunshine, so read what I just wrote, and get out there this summer and enjoy.  Moderation at first is the key word here folks.  OK so you did what I said and got yourself a wee bit red. What to do  as it hurts?  Well, simple, just get yourself some vinegar as it is an incredible first-aid remedy for dealing with a sunburn. Once applied the soreness will disappear and your redness will be turned into a real nice tan.  Get to putting it on as soon as you come in, as quicker the better.  Have a great summer, and don’t forget to pick up a copy of my new book  called, Join Me In The Garden written by, yours truly.  Loaded with all kinds of good tips and advice.

Would You Like To Live A Healthy Life With Out Drugs That Makes You Sick?

1 Comment

For a long time now I have been trying to let folks know, that too much protein in our diet is not so good for us. Well should say certain types of protein.  Thing is, I figure that bad protein covers the bad cells in one’s body like cancer and when that happens we get sick.  If the bad protein wasn’t put into our bodies, well guess what?  No cancer, as our bodies would kick out the cancer cells.  Now this is my theory. I figure, that we  should drink good water, not water with chlorine or fluoride in it, well- water preferably, and around nine cups a day.  Then get to eating good protein and eliminating bad protein, we would then cut sickness in this country in half, if not more.  I figured out a list of what to eat and not to eat and thought I would share them with you.  Here is the good protein and bad proteins. Oh, and one last thing if you figure you haven’t got the time to read everything that I have written here in this article, at the very least, for your own health read the last ten or so lines you will be glad you did.

Good Protein
As with all foods, there are healthy proteins, and not-so-healthy proteins. Some of the healthiest sources of protein come from:

* Organic, cage-free chickens and eggs
* Antibiotic-free and hormone-free meat from grass-fed, free-range livestock
* Unpasteurized, raw dairy products
* Wild, mercury-free fish
* Sprouted nuts and seeds
* Plant sources such as organic beans and whole grains.

Dietary Recommendations

* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting organic flax meal, wild Alaskan salmon, minimal-mercury albacore tuna, fish oil, avocados, and sprouted walnuts.
* Choose animal and fish products that are cage-free, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, free-range, wild, and/or grass-fed.
* Eat healthy combinations of foods that turn incomplete proteins into complete protein.  Increase your omega when eaten together, such as rice with beans.
* Add nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods such as sprouted nuts and seeds to your diet.
* Lightly grill animal proteins, flipping the meat frequently, and avoid charring or high-heat cooking. Preferably, eat raw animal protein such as sushi, or cook meats rare or medium-rare.
* If you are a vegetarian, consider vitamin and mineral supplementation to avoid nutrient deficiencies that may be present in your diet due to the lack of complete proteins (meat and dairy).

Now here is the bad protein.

Bad Protein
The “bad” proteins are mainly the result of agricultural industrialization, which turns healthy proteins into unhealthy ones.

Meat. Livestock that is over-crowded, injected with hormones and antibiotics, and provided unhealthy, unnatural feed leads to poor-quality protein.

Poultry. Caged chickens that are not allowed to eat a natural diet or roam freely suffer from poor health, resulting in poor-quality poultry.

Fish. Farm-raised fish that are fed unnatural land-based diets contain little or no omega-3 essential fatty acids, and are often contaminated with PCBs and mercury.

Note: Be careful on the grill. Overcooking proteins can be harmful to your health. High heat reacts with proteins in red meat, poultry, and fish to form cancer-causing agents.6

Foods to AVOID:

  • Avoid all heavily processed animal products and foods.
  • Avoid meats that have been injected with hormones and antibiotics.
  • Avoid meats that contain sodium nitrite such as bacon, lunch meat, and canned meat.
  • Avoid farm-raised fish. Choose wild-caught fish instead.

So there you go hope this helps and also hope that you take your life back and start thinking for yourselves and not let the Powers That Be run it  anymore.

One last thing. Now I am not one to get into  technical things, but here is a simple way of finding out if you got too much protein in your body.  When you go to the bathroom and you see a lot of bubbles in your urine, you know you got too much protein, not a good thing.  Also if your urine is to yellow or dark in color, again not so good.  How does one fix this problem?  Simple, eat only good protein and to flush out the protein drink water.  You will know you had enough  water when, well, when you see no more bubbles in your urine and it is clear in color.   So there you go,  now when you head out to the grocery store you might want to start looking for some good … food.  Better yet, get to growing your own, that is if you have enough property.  If you do and need some help, remember to pick up a copy of my new gardening book, that is in the stores now.   It’s called, Join Me In The Garden, By George Walters.  Good book, I wrote it LOL
