WHO OR WHAT ARE GJINN? (The truth about a race of beings you thought only existed in your imagination—and your nightmares)
Apr 4th
This article was written by Philip J. Imbrogno
God made the angels from light, he made man from the mud and the clay, and the Djinn from smokeless fire.
The passage above is from the Qur’an, and talks about a mysterious and ancient race of beings called Djinn. In the western world we are only familiar with man, angels, and fallen angels (often been referred to as demons). However, in the Muslim belief there are no fallen angels, but instead a different third race that is much older than the human race. The Qur’an makes it very clear that the Djinn existed before mankind; just how long before no one seems to know for sure. Some Islamic scholars say they lived on our planet a thousand years before humans, some say a thousand centuries. So just who are the Djinn? More >

BOOST YOUR MEMORY with BRAIN BALLS
Mar 12th
We have all had those moments where we can’t remember what we did or have forgotten something. I hear people teasingly say, “I’m getting Alzheimer’s”.
It is normal at any age to forget everyday things. We all must remember, children forget all the time, where did they put their shoes, what time they go to bed, even when this bed time happens at the same time every night. Teenagers are the worst at forgetting things they don’t want to remember. What I want to stress is that it is normal to forget little everyday things but if your mental clarity and cognitive functions get foggy, confused, and you forget things that affect your quality of life. This is when you should be concerned.
One of the thoughts of decreasing brain function, as we age, is that our brains are lacking nutrition and are under too much stress. Each of us must respect our brains and give them a break. The brain rarely get a break always thinking and fusing and worrying. There is nothing that clears the mind, like magic, then a walk on the beach, a hike in the forest, walking in an ancient forest, taking a few days to spend by a lake. Recently a girlfriend of mine ran away to the beach. Because in 3 months time, she had lost her mom, got a divorce, found out she had financial issues and moved in with her dad. After trying to handle it all she felt she would break. Without telling anyone she book a hotel and went to the ocean for 4 days. She sat on the beach and talked to nature and let “the mother” heal her. She came back refreshed and ready to handle all those stresses that were adding up. I could feel the healing energy of the ocean all around her as she spoke.
If in your busy life you can’t make time for these things then do meditation and yoga these produce similar calming and peaceful experience for the brain. Having 4 children I got overwhelmed very quickly. Especially when I had to feed, clean and meet all their little needs. I couldn’t run off to the beach but I could meditate. I found a wholeness in my spirit by a few minutes of just breathing and connecting to the divine everyday. On those day I missed my morning meditation I felt like I was always rushing, never under control and at times just wanted to cry. Meditation slows the mind, body and soul. It lets you connect to the divine around you and there is a peace that is wonderful. Even if your meditation is 5 minutes!
What we in the west consider normal aging, dementia and Alzheimer, doesn’t have to be your fate. It could be as simple as nutrition and stress relief that will allow your wisdom to be passed onto your grandchild, instead of being lost in disease. My goal is to have a sharp and clear mind into my elderly years. Research has shown that these nutritional suggestions will help your mind stay sharp as you age.

Salves & Oinments make it yourself!
Mar 6th
MAKE YOUR OWN SALVE
After you have made your herbal oil, you’re ready to begin the steps needed to make you own salves
A basic salve/ointment is made with beeswax, oils (vegetable or animal) and herbs. The oil is used as a solvent for the medicinal property’s to the herbs and provides a healing emollient base. The beeswax is used to thicken the salve as well as adds a soothing protective quality.
You can add natural preservatives to the salves mixture, such as Vitamin E, Rosemary oil, benzoin. I don’t think this is necessary but I love to add Vitamin E for its healing properties.
- Prepare herbal oil, drained and strained.
- For every 8 ounces (1 cup) add 1 ounce beeswax (1/4 cup)
- Melt in a pan or double boiler. To check the consistency, place 1TBS in the freezer for about 2 minutes. If it is too soft add more beeswax if it is too hard add more oil.
- Remove from heat immediately as soon as the beeswax is melted.
- Pour into glass jars or tins. Salves will last months or even years.

The best vegetable oil to use in the medicinal infusion is Olive oil but you can use any vegetable oil! These oils can be used as a base for salves and ointments. (March 8 article on salve making). Depending on the strength of the medicinal herbs, you can make a medicinal or a sweet smelling massage or bath oil.
Herbal oils when stored in cool, dark location will last for months. If you store in the refrigerator the oils will last a year if not longer.

SAVE YOUR OWN SEEDS
Feb 21st
Did you know that many seeds that say “hybrid” on them are sterile or will not seed true to their mother plant?
For years I have been concerned with the loss of heirloom seed and the companies that sell them, as well as endangered farm animals. It is rather a passion. As these resources slowly disappear or get gobbled up by conglomerates we all are affected. Our genetic base of animals and plants are narrowing down to a few varieties that produce mass amounts. Because the mass producers of eggs, milk or vegetables are in high demand, the animals that produce more are breed and the heritage varieties are disappearing, as well as plants developed to produce more. Thus, we are loosing all those unique genetic traits from plants and animals that don’t produce at much, but are more resistant to disease, drought ect…. There has been an awareness by many people that this is a real concern and now I see more heirloom tomatoes and the hatcheries offer some heritage breeds. That is encouraging. But our seeds are being controlled by big seed companies that want us to buy seeds every year and are creating plants that produce sterile seeds or seeds that when germinated are not true to their mother plant. These big companies have gobbled up many of the heirloom seed companies and now there are only a few remaining. Below I will give a list of some of the companies that I ordered from this year. This is by no means a complete list of heirloom seed companies. More >
Major causes of alergies and hayfever
Jan 1st
Do you suffer from allergies and hayfever? I once did and corrected it through diet and herbs. See (Homemade tinctures to detox the liver) for life changes and recipes.
It is the affect of an over toxic liver that causes the symptoms of allergies and hayfever. The liver overreacts to foreign proteins in the body, caused by plant pollen, animal dander and hair, dust, mold, chemicals, food, and cosmetics. This overreaction is caused by the liver’s inability to keep up with the cellular waste due to being over worked by poor eating, absorptions of toxins through the skin and general pollutants. The extra cellular waste that the liver can’t process is sent out to the blood stream to be dealt with later. The problem occurs when these antigens (foreign proteins) are in the blood stream too long they weaken the tissues of the organs and pollute the delicate ecology of the inner environments. This causes the body to see them as the enemy and sends out white blood cells to counter what the body sees as an infection.

PESTICIDE IN ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS
How many people use anti-bacterial soap or wipes to keep themselves free from contagious illness? Recently there has been a lot of talk about how these antibacterial soaps and cleaners may do more harm than good because they might facilitate the development of super-resistant germs. The simple fact is that bacteria will adapt itself to the chemicals and becomes more potent or a super-germ. Personally, this sends shivers down my spin. More >
