The record heat we had this summer has created a bumper crop of broccoli, chard, corn, green beans, peppers, and yukon gold potatoes. It takes all I have physically to keep up with harvest. I can post articles on my blog more frequently after the harvest is over.
I was thinking about a statement our Naturopathic Doctor James Chappell recently stated. He leads us on a weekly health series called “Know Your Options”. He said that ONLY SICK PEOPLE GET SICK. Here are the main points to stay healthy so you won’t get sick:
1. Be careful about what you eat. Your body needs nutrients from plant based foods.
2. Make sure you are drinking one half your ideal body weight in water each day.
3. Get daily exercise and sunshine. The fresh air and movement helps the blood circulate through the body.
4. Get proper sleep
5. Avoid alcohol and tobacco
I have not been sick in years. I follow the above principles to the best of my ability. In the summer, I am outside most of the time. In the winter, I like to go ice skating. I put on my hiking boots all year and go for a 40 minute walk to the river early in the morning to stimulate the blood and keep the weight off.
Had a great summer Sunday on 16. August 2009 and went to a picnic on Lake Padden in Whatcom County, Washington. I decided to do some observing and will share some thoughts about a serious problem we all face in the world today.
People like to grill meat outside in the summer. They also like to eat potato chips and other food items that are loaded with sugar like cake, pies, chocolate and candy. I noticed that people that were overweight were eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips. They also went back for seconds. Why are they needing to eat so much?
The reason is nutrition. Our body tells us we are hungry when in fact we are starving for nutrients. You cannot get nutrition from eating dead animal products that are loaded with nitrates. The body needs nutrients that fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains have. This group of overweight people also were drinking sodas all day. Soda has acid in it. Just read the label. This acid causes disease over time. So the overweight group of people are eating dead food with no nutrition and then they drink a beverage loaded with acid. This is inviting serious illness into the body. Time will tell.
There was another group of people that chose the vegetable platters and salads. The people eating these foods were proper weight. They also were drinking water. I did not see any of these people continually going back for seconds and thirds. This tells me that their bodies were getting nutrients from the food they ate.
Most of the people that ate the unhealthy food sat on the ground or in their chairs and enjoyed being outside on such a nice summer day. The lake is very scenic and we worship the outdoors here in Washington in the summer. I asked if anyone wanted to play softball and not one of the overweight crowd came along. We managed to get a softball game going with the younger people and several folks in their 50’s who have taken care of themselves. I fall into that later category and do exercises each morning to stay in shape and to be able to run on short notice. Hamstring stretches are wise to do all year as well as sit-ups and push ups.
How can we get the word out to the group that is overweight that eating dead animals that have nitrates in the food is unhealthy? How can we tell them that drinking several cans of acidic soda each day will ruin their health?
HEALTH = MAXIMUM NUTRITION / MINIMUM CALORIES

Just had a recent check up at Seattle VA last week and am pleased to share how a healthy lifestyle can keep you in great shape. The triage nurse measured my blood pressure at 117 over 63. My pulse was 68. I had just walked close to a half mile from the Metro bus stop by Jefferson Park golf course through the back side of the hospital, up a flight of steep stairs and proceeded to the clinic.
My results are a combination of the following:
1) Daily exercise that includes a 40 minute walk, exercise ball, yoga, and inversion table
2) Vegetarian diet of fresh fruits, legumes, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains
3) Plenty of alkaline water

Just finished a great week of vacation right here at the beautiful small farm God has loaned me while I am walking on this earth. There are three areas where I raise organic vegetables and 9 fruit trees. My vacation was spent watering and weeding all of the 2,000 square feet of the garden. I dropped a few pounds so if anyone wants to come and eat healthy and lose weight, give me a call. Your body will love the fresh country air and sunshine of the Pacific Northwest in July.
Learned some more simple ideas for people that are either current or former cancer patients. Try Natural Healing before doing Chemotherapy because your cancer could be reduced if you eliminate the cause. Chemotherapy can destroy your bodies immune system. Natural Healing is safer and works towards eliminating the conditions in which the cancer thrives. If you are dehydrated and not having a bowel movement shortly after each meal you eat each day, you are toxic. If you are eating a typical American diet of animal products loaded with fat, your blood glucose levels are too high and cancer thrives in sugar. You also are probably minerally deficient on that typical American diet.
1) Detoxify the body with colon and soft tissue cleansing tea
2) Hydrate the body with alkaline water that has a negative ionic charge
3) Remineralize the body with alkaline balance complete whole foods minerals
4) Moderate your blood glucose levels with Cinnamon Six
You can learn more at my Naturopathic Health Products website.
More and more people are asking what is the advantage of drinking alkaline water that has a negative ionic charge? Real Water Concentrate is a product that will make your own water a negative charge and bring the alkalinity up to at least 8.5 on a pH scale. I found some of the most common responses that Dr. Chappell has mentioned and will share them here:
1) Penetrates cell membranes and removes toxins while hydrating your cells
2) Neutralizes Chlorine and negative ions neutralize free radicals so there is an anti-oxidant property
3) Assists body in detoxification process
4) Makes your water taste better
5) Helps deliver nutrients to your cells
6) Helps increase Alkalinity level in your body
7) Your own water becomes premium water by using the Concentrate
8) Treat over 7.5 gallons with one four ounce bottle of the Concentrate
9) Portable as you can take the little bottle anywhere you go
10) You do not have to spend thousands of dollars on an expensive machine that may not hold its negative charge for more than a day
I have been using the Real Water Concentrate for almost one year. Every evening, I treat some twice filtered well water in containers that I refrigerate with an eye dropper full of the concentrate.

We had another excellent call last night with the Whole Wellness Club’s spokesperson Dr. Chappell. He covered a broad range of interesting topics including Microwave ovens. Microwave ovens radiate your food and cause a shift in the polarity of cells in your food. This process destroys the water soluble nutrients. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are altered into cancerous free radicals. The end result is a rapid increase in colon cancer in America.
You can do a blood analysis and you will see that your blood has carcinogenic and toxic cells after your blood has processed foods that have been microwaved. I am selling my microwave and eating raw or steamed vegetables and fruits.

Growing an organic garden takes work. You have to remove weeds without chemicals. It is also a good idea to turn the soil twice a year. I am throwing all of my compost waste into the garden bed.
It is nice to look at the yard and garden and be almost weed free. Pulling weeds by hand is a good form of exercise. I have some cultivating tools that help in areas where you don’t need to worry about hurting either seed germination or beautiful flower roots.
One thing is certain though. With the long summer days now here (daylight here from 04:00 until 22:00 right now), everything grows quickly including weeds. I will be back in the garden on Sunday pulling any new weeds that appear. When we go into our dry season, the weeds also slow down their growth.

Just finished the sixth day of working outside on the small farm here in Northwest Washington. Funny thing is when I think I am almost caught up, I start seeing new weeds in the vegetable garden that will need to be pulled. It is so important in the spring to make sure my crops get a good healthy head start and stay away from those pesky little weeds.
After a long winter of sitting at my desk and working on websites and internet marketing, I am feeling the past six days of long hours out on the farm. It is a good thing that I have been faithful with my walking, stretching, and yoga every morning except for the Sabbath Day! It makes the transition to the summer season of work outside easier.
Fresh air and sunshine are great for our health. We need to get more of both in today’s stressful world.
Just got in from a wet evening of planting bush beans. I have learned over time that getting seeds sown in loose soil is really important. A few years ago I was so excited to have some land and go back to gardening. It takes many hours of work to keep your soil free of weeds. The great thing about planting time is once you have your soil ready, you just have to sow the seed and God does the rest. I will have to do some weeding and watering when we go into our dry season but God provides the sun and some rain.
Still eating organic green beans that were harvested last summer. I have something to take to all the potlucks I go to at church or other meetings.

Our company spokesperson Dr. James Chappell made a comment on a recent conference call. Dr. Jim has 38 years of experience in the naturopathic field. He said that America has a disease and illness care system. It is called a health care system. Doctors treat symptoms and patients end up in a squirrel cage. If the underlying reasons for the person’s sickness is not addressed, the patient will never get well. If you really want to take care of your health, you need to follow a simple regimen:
1) Detoxify the body
2) Hydrate the body with alkaline water with a negative ionic charge
3) Eat a diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and stay away from fast and processed foods
4) Get exercise and sunshine daily
5) Get proper amount of rest daily
