Stevia
Stevia rebaudianaNative to Paraguay. A remarkable sugar substitute. Stevias
flavor is stable when cooked. You can use it in jams, canned fruits, cakes and
cookies. Your own home grown will taste much better than store bought. Stevia
is fast growing. It thrives in full sun and well drained soil. Pinch off the
flowers as you would with basil. If Stevia is allowed to flower they droop and
become dormant. Some studies have shown that it contains substances that
inhibit tooth decay, increase mental alertness, decrease fatigue, improve
digestion, regulates blood pressure, and is safe for diabetics. However it has
not been approved by the FDA. Excellent sugar substitute for diabetics. My
children love to nibble the leaves. Stevia is a tender perennial. Hardy to zone
9.
My daughter has researche plants form eastern europe and sourced some. Will

The Reishi Mushroom Patch Growing Temperature: 7080° F
Ganoderma lucidum, known as Reishi by the Japanese and Ling Chi by the Chinese,
has long been sought after for its beneficial properties. Ling Chi is perhaps
the most well renowned of all the medicinal fungi, represented in Asian art for
thousands of years. Reputed to have many health stimulating properties, Western
studies are increasingly authenticating what Eastern cultures have known for
thousands of yearsthat this mushroom stimulates the body's immune system. Once
grown, this mushroom is generally broken up, powdered and steeped in simple
teas. Its flavor is strong, distinctive, and pleasant to most people.

Better start planting botanicals. We shall have to be self sufficient.
I predict little success opposing the pharma corporations due to who owns
them.

That's when the Codex is due to kick in here in the USA. I have no

about Canada, although they already can't get stuff, like DHEA, that we're
still able to get here
in the USA. The Codex is designed to harmonize to a lower standard. It
invokes the precautionary

All around site that covers a myriad of health related topics with no BS.
http://www.stopfdacensorship.org/ Stop the censorship of FDA and FTC. The
FDA is really the scourge of the
earth wrt real healing. They want to constrain our health freedom entirely
and have us to believe that only
prescription drugs (chemo, radiation, surgery) are real medicine. Nothing is
further from the truth!

Hi D...Do you know the law that is compelling food supplements to be removed
from health food store shelves in 2009? Mike DuPree

http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Can-Vitamins-Really-Kill-You--6508.aspx
I just watched Dr Mercola who reported on the study that the media said proved
that antioxidants do not lengthen life and may even kill you. He said
that of the hundreds of studies that were chosen to be studied, they picked
the
most unfavorable ones, based on elderly patients who were in poor health. Also
these people were only using synthetic anti-oxidants which are known to be a
lot
less effective than natural ones that the body easily recognizes and uses
effectively.
So, once again, the media has been a willing accomplice in softening up the
public
for the day (in 2009) when Big Pharma gets their most ardent wish fulfilled
and all effective
supplements are pulled of the shelves of U.S. health food stores. We must not
allow this to happen. We can neutralize these untruths by writing to the
editor,
emailing the TV media news, and joining groups like Life Extension Foundation
(LEF),
the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), etc., and getting their newsletters.
Writing your representative politicians could help too.
Peace, D. Mindock
