Jealousy and Resentment....

I seriously do not know anyone that has not struggled with jealousy and resentment. So I have  decided to share a video on the subject from a woman that I have come to love, Byron Katie. Through her videos and written words I have learned to move through many hard places in my life and free myself up to love and enjoy my life at such a higher level.

The video is an hour, but you can split it up into 30 min sessions. The first one is on resentment and the second one is one jealousy.

If you still face these emotions in your life and have not freed yourself from them....watch...and you will be given the tools to move through these muddy waters and on to the other side. All she asked you to do is to answer 4 questions.

GASLAND

When I got on facebook this morning I saw a post about Hydraulic Fracturing. A year ago I did not have a clue about this type of drilling for natural gas until I watched the documentary called Gasland. I really can not believe that we live in a society that turns a blind eye to the proven fact that this type of drilling is killing and poisoning people in America everyday. Read how the producer of GASLAND was arrested during the House Energy and Enviromental sucommitte meeting that was called to examine EPA's finding about the poisoning of groundwater due to hydraulic fracturing. Watch this trailor, GASLAND and then read about the events that took place at the subcommitte meeting. It is SHOCKING!!!

GASLAND

Here's Josh's statement he made today upon his release: I was arrested today for exercising my first amendment rights to freedom of the press on Capitol Hill. I was not expecting to be arrested for practicing journalism. Today's hearing in the House Energy and Environment subcommittee was called to examine EPAs fi...ndings that hydraulic fracturing fluids had contaminated groundwater in the town of Pavillion, Wyoming. I have a long history with the town of Pavillion and its residents who have maintained since 2008 that fracking has contaminated their water supply. I featured the stories of residents John Fenton, Louis Meeks and Jeff Locker in GASLAND and I have continued to document the catastrophic water contamination in Pavillion for the upcoming sequel GASLAND 2. It would seem that the Republican leadership was using this hearing to attack the three year Region 8 EPA investigation involving hundreds of samples and extensive water testing which ruled that Pavillion's groundwater was a health hazard, contaminated by benzene at 50x the safe level and numerous other contaminants associated with gas drilling. Most importantly, EPA stated in this case that fracking was the likely cause. As a filmmaker and journalist I have covered hundreds of public hearings, including Congressional hearings. It is my understanding that public speech is allowed to be filmed. Congress should be no exception. No one on Capitol Hill should regard themselves exempt from the Constitution. The first amendment to the Constitution states explicitly "Congress shall make no law...that infringes on the Freedom of the Press". Which means that no subcommittee rule or regulation should prohibit a respectful journalist or citizen from recording a public hearing. This was an act of civil disobedience, yes done in an impromptu fashion, but at the moment when they told me to turn off the cameras, I could not. I know my rights and I felt it was imperative to exercise them. When I was led out of the hearing room in handcuffs, John Boehner's pledge of transparency in congress was taken out with me. The people of Pavillion deserve better. The thousands across the US who have documented cases of water contamination in fracking areas deserve their own hearing on Capitol hill. They deserve the chance to testify in before Congress. The truth that fracking contaminates groundwater is out, and no amount of intimidation tactics --either outright challenges to science or the arrest of journalists --will put the genie back in the bottle. Such a brazen attempt to discredit and silence the EPA, the citizens of Pavillion and documentary filmmaking will ultimately fail and it is an affront to the health and integrity of Americans. Lastly, in defense of my profession, I will state that many many Americans get their news from independent documentaries. The hill should immediately move to make hearings and meetings accessible to independent journalists and not further obstruct the truth from being reported in the vivid and in depth manner that is only achievable through long form documentary filmmaking. I will be thinking on this event further and will post further thoughts and developments. I have been charged with "unlawful entry" and my court date is

Feb 15,2012.

Research this more on your own and find out what you as an American citizen can do to stop this poisoning of our groundwater.

Until next time,

Pinapple Stems

A while back I discovered that there are some great healing qualities in the stem of the pinnapple....yes it's true. If you pull the green leaves  off the pinnapple you will find this yellow stem under all the leaves. You have to be a little determined to get to it because some pinnapples have a lot of the green leaves. But after you have done a few it's a piece of cake!

Back in 2005, Australia's Queensland Institute of Medical Research discovered anti-cancer molecules in the "Pinapple Stems". Two specific phytochemicals CCS and CCZ appear to stimulate the immune system to target and eleminate cancer cells.  While studying bromelain, a rich source of enzymes that is derived from crushed pineapple, they discovered these anti-cancer molecules, CCS and CCZ proteins, and found that they block the growth of a broad range of tumor cells, including breast, lung, colon, ovarian, and melanoma.
Not only is the stem great for you but the friut of the pinapple is as well. As I just mentioned pinapple is rich in bromeian, a group of sulfur containing protein-digesting enzymes that not only aid in digestion, but can effectively reduce inflammation and swelling.  But the truth is, that the majority of the bromeian is in the stem. In clinical human trials, bromelain has demonstrated significant anti-inflamatory effects, reducing swelling in inflamatory conditions such as acute sinusitis, sore throat, arthritis, gout, and speeding recovery from injuries and surgery. The best way to eat pinapple is by itself between meals, or its enzymes will be used up digesting food. Enzymes reduce inflammation and dissolve poisons we don't want in our body.

Here is a picture of my pinapple this morning. I pulled the leaves off and what is left is the yellow stem. I cut off the yellow stem before I cut up the pinapple, then I throw it into my protein drinks in the morning. It really has no taste. But you can throw it into any type of drink that you are blending up. I think that if you struggle with allergies and inflamation, this would be a great thing to add to your diet. Never mind the cancer fighting qualities!!

Ohhh, and a couple more things....my daughter Hannah is now going to be a writer for Real Raw Women. So stay tuned for some great blogs!!

Also, my daughter Melissa has an amazing website www.spunirtha.com  Make sure you check it out!!!
