You’ll Never Guess What Veggie Just Beat Kale!
Here’s the link to the article: http://foodmatters.tv/articles-1/you-ll-never-guess-what-veggie-just-beat-kale
And beware the high oxalic acid content of raw greens. As one commenter wrote: “But, I am confused. After being raw vegan off and on for years, I lived on leafy greens in my smoothies, salads etc. I almost lost all my teeth, apparently due to the extremely high oxcalic (sp?) acid”
Cooking greens reduces the oxalic acid. Sadly it also reduces other heat sensitive nutrients like vitamin C.
Being well hydrated and a daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids are also very effective in preventing oxalate deposition.

Link Between Genetically Engineered Food and Cancer
Last week in the New York Times, the Center for Food Safety ran an ad focusing on the connection between genetically engineered crops and cancer.
The World Health Organization designated glyphosate (the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup) a probable carcinogen to humans.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the division of the World Health Organization that released the report. IARC is one of the world’s leading authorities on cancer.
Today in the United States, cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in U.S. children. The President’s Cancer Panel reports that 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women (41% of Americans) are expected to get cancer in their lifetimes. Correlation is not causation, but a correlation of this magnitude merits further independent investigation.
The California EPA is working to label glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as a carcinogen. Almost all GMOs are designed to be used in conjunction with glyphosate, some are called “Roundup Ready” and have been genetically engineered to withstand increased applications of these ingredients.
So the next time you hear GMOs are “safe,” think about the cancer-causing potential of spraying food crops with nearly 300 million more pounds of glyphosate this year, think about “Roundup Ready” crops and the fact that they are labeled for over 60% of the world’s population but not here.

I Do Not Surrender My Rights!
This is important. Our future freedom from suppressive corporate influence depends in part on this not passing. I signed, I invite you to join me!
12 countries just sealed a secret deal to give corporations vast power over 40% of the world’s economy. But for the Trans-Pacific Partnership to become law, each country has to ratify it. And that’s how we stop it.
Here is a link to an ABC article on it: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-12/verrender-weve-been-sold-out-by-the-tpp-sham/6845348

Susan McCreadie, MD: I Rest Easier NOT Vaccinating my Children
But…I am a mother first and a pediatrician second. This I have never forgotten. I cannot parent in ways that make me uncomfortable, to make others comfortable. I made the connection that Kaitlin’s eczema would improve if I stopped stimulating her immune system with the vaccines.
In addition to supplementing her with cod liver oil and probiotics daily, I also stopped vaccinations. Her eczema resolved and has never returned. I chose as a mom and a pediatrician to stop vaccinating Kaitlin, and never to vaccinate Elle or Addison.
These are my decisions. Are there risks? Sure there are risks. There are risks with EVERYTHING. That’s life. All three girls had whooping cough – not fun. Could I have prevented those 2 months of relentless coughing with vaccines? Maybe, maybe not. The family that spread it to our family was fully vaccinated against pertussis.
I am often asked my opinions on vaccinations – do I recommend them or not? Every time I answer with the story above.
There are pros and cons to vaccinations. As my training in holistic medicine continues, I rest easier NOT vaccinating my children.

TPP Protest Tomorrow, Midday October 11, 2015
I just received this email:
Dear Tom,
How are you?
I think you know about CEC (Citizens Electoral Council). I’ve been an active supporter of them for a while and occasionally help them distribute their papers in Parramatta/Blacktown area. Actually I’d like to give you their recent paper. I’ll put it in your letterbox when I go past your house next time. CEC, small as it is, works to get truth out and bring justice and fairness in the world. It has a big influence around the world and their power is not to be underestimated.
Below is an e-mail from Ann, my friend who is CEC’s NSW Secretary. You don’t have to read it all but the point is there will be TPP Protest Rally at Town Hall at 12pm tomorrow (Sunday) and she’s encouraging everyone to go there and support.
I found it’s organized by a few anti TPP group jointly and called Reject the TPP – Sydney. You’l see it in FB if you search.
I’ve been concerned about TPP for a while. Now that I found a group acting against it, I’d like to support it. I’m going to the rally tomorrow and would like to encourage anyone to participate. Because as you may know, TPP deprives us of basic human rights and everything we built toward better world as it’s a huge step toward the world government representing insane and egotistic corporate interests who can override our national laws protecting us.
Best regards
A
The email referred to above is:
Hi Everyone,
This Sunday, 12noon at the Sydney Town Hall there will be a protest Rally against the TPP.
This is an opportunity to speak with and organise other people who don’t want Australia’s sovereignty eroded under this treaty, to learn about the alternative to the New World Order/One World Government agenda which is the New, Just Economic Order of the BRICS countries. If you have any copies of the latest or previous New Citizen referencing the BRICS countries program please take them along to hand out and remember to take a note book and pencil or pen to get the names of any people you speak with because if they really want to stop the Obama agenda of the TPP and more, then they need to work with us.
As Jeff Steinberg reported yesterday Obama is being abandoned by all his “old friends” except the Saudis.
– IT’S TIME TO BOUNCE OBAMA IMMEDIATELY! –
Russia has now launched a dynamic air, land, and sea offensive in Syria, in conjunction with the Syrian Army, backed up by Hezbollah and IRGC forces. The primary targets are the Islamic State and the Army of Conquest, which is a Saudi creation dominated by Al Qaeda (the Nusra Front). Today, President Putin met with Defense Minister Shoigu, and their meeting was partially televised. Shoigu announced that the Russian Navy had joined the combat against ISIS, with four Russian Navy ships in the Caspian Sea firing 26 cruise missiles a distance of 900 miles, to ISIS targets in northern Syria.
Iraq has indicated it will ask Russia to begin bombing operations against ISIS inside Iraq. Turkey has announced, contrary to NATO and Obama Administration rantings, that relations with Russia are fine, and that a military channel has been established to make sure that there are no incidents between Russian and Turkish planes along the Syrian border region. Acting Prime Minister Davutoglu told reporters on Wednesday that Russian-Turkish relations are friendly and neighborly and there will be no Turkey-Russia conflict stemming from the situation in Syria.
Obama has been thoroughly outflanked and boxed in by the Russian actions, which have triggered a significant break from Obama by key traditional US allies in Europe and the Middle East. Adding insult to injury, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came out on Wednesday, while campaigning in Iowa, to announce her opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This means that all three major Democratic Party presidential candidates have broken with Obama on the TPP.
Obama has been abandoned by all of his “old friends,” with the sole exception of the Saudis.
While Obama was celebrating the TPP deal over the weekend, it is more and more likely that it will boomerang against him, and could catalyse all of his enemies into one single force, beating him down over TPP.
Lyndon LaRouche has emphasized that it is clear that Obama is being abandoned by all of his former friends, including Hillary Clinton. He can and must be removed from office, at this moment, when the issue of war and peace hangs in the balance. From Russia come warnings that Obama could totally flip out over the Putin diplomatic successes of recent weeks, and look to start new color revolution war provocations against Russia. These could come in Eastern Ukraine, in Moldova, in the Transdinestra enclave, or in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Caspian Sea region.
Obama is stuck in quicksand up to his belly, but he is still a menace and nothing short of his removal from office will fully resolve the crisis.
The timing is essential. Wall Street and London are irreversibly bankrupt, and any trigger could detonate the blowout of the entire system. Glass-Steagall must be enacted {before} the blowout. The Federal Reserve is powerless, stuck with a balance sheet of $5.2 trillion, courtesy of the QE bailout, and a zero- interest-rate policy that has further fed the bubble.
Obama’s removal, preferably under the 25th Amendment, and the simultaneous passage of legislation restoring Glass-Steagall, represent the only sane option. Putin’s flanking operations in Syria have created the necessary opening to bring down the whole Obama mess. Don’t miss the historic opportunity. It may not come again.
Have Fun!

A Project For You
Last week we learned one of our friends has breast cancer. She normally eats well but due to some serious timetable stress had strayed from the path of healthy eating.
It prompted me to share this with you…
Back in 1967 I failed year 10 miserably.
A few years later I went back and did my HSC at night school. I recall well the headmaster of University High School in Melbourne addressing the assembled students at year’s start. He said he knew full well from experience that fully two thirds of those who enrolled would not complete the year, for one reason or another.
Well that set me back on my heels.
I mention that because it’s an example of how many of even those of us with good intentions can get derailed on what we consider key projects in life.
So, how do we stay on track rather than get derailed?
First, we have to have an end-point, something to aim for. It should be something we consider highly desirable and worth the pain it will take to accomplish it.
Then we need to learn how best we do the following:
overcome obstacles,
stay focused on the core objectives,
ignore distractions and
remotivate ourselves when we feel flat.
Remember in high school you were set assignments and projects so you could learn about a subject more in-depth?
Well, here’s a little project for you. Should take less than 5 hours and may change your life remarkably for the better by helping you clearly identify dietary and lifestyle changes right for you.
MAJOR TARGET
To determine what dietary and lifestyle changes you need to make to set yourself up for a healthier, happier and more enjoyable life.
Targets
Make a list of 20 people who are 20-30 years older than you. Parents, aunts and uncles, friends of the family, work colleagues etc.
Have a quick chat with them about their present state of health. Find out the degenerative diseases from which they suffer.
Identify what dietary and lifestyle factors caused or contributed to each of those conditions.
Identify what changes in their diet or lifestyle may have prevented or minimised their likelihood of suffering from those conditions.
Based on what you have learned to date from the previous targets, make a list of the dietary and lifestyle factors you are doing right and another list of those things you would like to change.
Next to each “Like to Change” item, write a target date by which you think is realistic to make that change.
Start implementing those changes in your life and ticking them off your list.
Set a weekly or fortnightly or monthly “Review Time” when you sit down with your list, review your progress to date and plan your next steps.
