Broccoli. This is the time to buy it.  I picked a bushel a couple days ago and it’s in the freezer for winter.  Remember this, Broccoli is one of the best things one can eat in the prevention of Cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Here is a few veggies from the garden that I would recommend we all get to eating this summer. At least one portion of one of the below, a day if at all possible.  The ones with the star are * Excellent for preventing and combating cancer. Thought I would share and remember there is nothing better than tomatoes mixed with broccoli, and when ever possible eat raw, or with very  little cooking.

OK, for the past few days I have given you my outlook on a few things pertaining to life, and even got a bit into my life, how I do things, feel and see things.  Remember now, that these are my views on things and mine alone.  Some might not think like I do, and I suspect a lot of folks don’t, but something inside me the past few years has been pushing me to get my views on things out into the open.  I like to think it is a good thing, ways of helping folks, bringing things to light on different items.  Might say, a different outlook on life. Not that I am, telling, asking or trying to change your way of thinking, as I am not.  So … that’s that.

On another note, one item that comes to mind that folks can get a lot of help from is the weed, or some call a herb, is Comfrey.  Comfrey is one plant that I use a lot around our home here. I have used it to treat broken bones, swellings, torn ligaments, hernias, arthritis, wrinkles, blisters, stretch marks, cuts, bruises, well the list goes on and on. It is a very safe plant to use and unbelievably easy to make an ointment out of.  Here is how I make my ointment.  First I pick some real nice looking leaves from the plant, around fifteen so. Kind of depends on how big they are, mine is usually about medium in size.  I then lay them on the grass and wash them real good with a hose. I then shake them dry and lay them all out on the picnic table to dry in the sun.  One has to turn them a few times throughout two days, but after that you are in business.  I then crush them up dry, and put them in a masonry jar. Fill it just about full.  I then take some extra virgin olive oil and cover them totally.  Using a stick I push the oil down all around the leaves, until they are all soaked real good and  no bubbles left in the jar. I then take the ring and put a paper towel under it and screw it back on the jar.  Acts like a lid, but still allows it to breath.   Now I just sit it on the kitchen counter and in about three to six weeks, I have the greatest healing ointment you can get.  After about three to six weeks I strain it through some cheese cloth and set it in the medicine cabinet.  That’s it, you’re in business.  So there you go, a bit of old time wisdom once again, comes to the rescue and saves a fellow or gall all kinds of grief. OK, now is saying this, one should make sure your not allergic to the plant. Easy way is to crush up a fresh leaf and rub it on your wrist. If it doesn’t turn red you’re in business.  Just a small spot, about the size of a quarter will do it.  Also, I only use it externally.  Enjoy Summer!

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.

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.

Well I got to tell you, them old black flies are sure out there with a vengeance this year.   I just hill-ed up my tomatoes and moved a few things around a bit in my veggie garden and looking down at my pant legs I seen they were just covered.  They are pretty smart too, as they like to climb up under your clothes and have lunch.   The doctor told me I was looking good the other day, when I went in for a visit, saying. “You must be outside a lot George, as you have lost your winter weight.”  I said, “Yep, but I think the reason for loosing a bit of weight is that the black flies are carrying me off a little at a time.”   They don’t usually bother me to much, but they sure love my wife.  Reason being they like to get into her hair and hide.  Thing one has to remember is, not to put on any smelly soaps or perfumes.   Folks that wear them things up here in our neck of the woods are just asking for trouble, as they can smell you a mile away, and they know it’s humans they are smelling too.  But they will soon be gone as I spotted a couple dragon flies, and once they  get to eating it doesn’t take them long to clean them up.   Also the bats eat a lot of skitters, so don’t be trying to rid your back yard of them.  Also remember, if you got some Comfrey growing in your back yard, it is one of the best things you can put on your bites and things, as it will stop the itch within minutes.  Also buy up some ivory soap and wash your face and hands with it as the bugs doesn’t like the smell.  Mothers Day to Fathers Day I always say that’s when the black flies are at their worst.   So………………there you go, will talk at you all a bit later.  Thinking, nice cup of coffee now and watch my wife dust the house.  Rough life huh???

You know for years now, I have tried my hardest to figure out natural things that fight diseases and things without taking prescription drugs. If one would ask me what the biggest of all the things that one could do,  I would say this.  First off, I think we all eat to much protein.   Some comes from beans which is not so bad, but most comes from meat.  Now don’t get me wrong, I  like a good old steak just like the next fellow or gal, just that I kind of figure that we shouldn’t be eating as much.  I have maybe one steak every four months, if that.  I would have to say that if we cut back on the protein we would all be a lot better off.  One reason is that protein covers our cells which some would say is a good thing. I say not so, as it also covers cancer cells.  So the problems then arises I figure, as our bodies defences can’t get through the protein to kill the cancer cells,  which gives cancer a chance to grow and spread.  If we didn’t eat as much protein, the cancer cells would be vulnerable and well our bodies defences wouldn’t let them spread.  Now how does one get to eating things that eat protein.  Well simple. The next time you are at the grocery store, instead of stocking up with meat, especially red meat, by pass it, and get right to the part that is good for you.  Yep the veggie section.  Once you get into eating more veggies you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel.  Just one more reason to get out there and get your own garden to growing.  But as I always say, if you can’t get to planting a garden then try and buy organic. Seeking out a good old farmer and buying directly from him, would be a step in the right direction.  So there you  go, a bit on my feelings of what one simple thing a person can do to prevent them nasty diseases from getting to you.  Final note. I believe with all my heart, that finding a cure for cancer isn’t the answer. It’s preventing it.  But saying that i also believe one can beat it too. Not with radiation, or all them drugs they keep pushing on one, but with just using common sense.  I for the life of me can’t understand why anyone would subject themselves to all them side effects, but hey who am I?  My opinion only.

A simple treatment for gout and the inflammation of arthritis is right at most folks doorsteps.  What is it?  Cherries.  Around six cherries a day is the amount. Not to hard to take huh?  I bet the big drug companies wish that they had invented them.  Now remember this, not all cherries are equal, as organic is the only way to go.   My opinion only.

Hot peppers are great for spicing up food. They may be even better for keeping the human body feeling in the spice of life. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in hot peppers and the one that turns up the heat. It is a compound useful in nature for preventing pepper plants from being eaten by insects and animals. When capsaicin is consumed by humans in the form of hot sauce, chili peppers or cayenne pepper, it offers a wealth of health benefits. One that has received much recent attention is the ability of capsaicin to make prostate cancer cells commit suicide.

You know the old saying, “Give a man a loaf of bread, feed him for a day, teach him to farm, feed him for life.” Change the word “Bread” to “Farm” and you have  just solved he worlds hunger problem. Years ago this old saying had some punch to it, my old father even tried doing it.  It failed however as the Powers To Be don’t want us to be self efficient.  As long as folks are under their thumb they are in charge of things.  Good thing?  I don’t think so. Country agriculture is a great way in providing food, indoors or out, in-ground or in containers for people, thus ending food shortages on a family-by-family basis.  Just one more reason for folks to get out there this spring and get a garden growing. If not possible then try and get out and support your local farmers.  If done every one that does so will live a healthy life and isn’t that what we all are trying to achieve.  My opinion only as usual.
