The Widhelms

As I was watching this video I could hardly wait to put it up on the website so others could see it.

I was raised in a home that had many different filtration mechanisms in order to get toxin free, clean drinking water, and bottled water was never one of them!

Penn And Teller star in a terrific (although rated PG-13 video for language) talking about the bottle water industry and how much of a farse it actually is. As far as I can tell the video and the information contained is factual.

I would encourage everyone to watch the entire video.  After you get done watching the video, and you are thinking to yourself what bastards the companies are that are giving you the impression that bottled water is good for you, just think about all of the other things that they and the FDA have on the market.  Then start to wonder to yourself, “If they will allow something as pure as water to be poluted like this, what are they doing to the rest of the products they market that I don’t know about.”

WATCH IT!!!!!

Many people have asked what recipe I use.  Here it is and a link to where I got it.

Ingredients

• 2/3 bar Fels Naptha
• 1 cup washing soda
• 1 cup borax power
• 5 gallon bucket

Instructions

1. Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan.
2. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts.
3. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. (Caution: when adding these ingredients add them slowly, as there is a tendency for the soap to overflow the pot.  Big mess!!)
4. Remove from heat.
5. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket.
6. Now add your soap mixture and stir.
7. Now add 3 gallons of water and stir.
8. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel.

You use ½ cup per load.
For more details you can read the original post over at The Family Homestead.

Ingredients

3 cups shredded green and/or red cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 T chopped parsley
1/2 cup pecans, walnuts or other nut of your choice
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 T cider vinegar
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 15 minutes, chopped (optional, the ingredient, not the chopping)
1 t fennel or poppy seeds (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Toss all ingredients and allow to marinate for 1 hour, stirring often.

Notes

Substitution/modifications

1. Instead of the sesame oil use toasted sesame oil. It gives it much more of an Asian flare.

Even though I don’t do it, and I know I should, “Raw Foods” can heal.

So many people believe in the common medical model that says everything has a pill and if it doesn’t have a pill then you are doomed. It just isn’t true!!

I haven’t read too much about this organization or any of the science behind it…but, if you have tried everything else and spent thousands, if not 10s of thousands of dollars already, what do you have to loose just changing your diet.

Take a look to see how an incurable disease, diabetes, can be reversed, that’s right, reveresed, by changing diet.

This is a very simple and delicious recipe from “Carol Alt: Eating in the Raw (p. 135)”. It works well as a side dish or it can be a meal in itself.
