That's a really good subject Haudenosaunee. I do agree with most of the video. You are what you eat...
Back in the 50's, 60's and 70's, there was an explosion of new products being produced and put on the market.
Remember back when people were throwing trash along the roadside?
Some people didn't realize the harm they were doing. They never had so many products to choose from before or the buying power to purchase as many products. Society did not have a setup for the waste removal and to this day, society does not have a great setup for waste removal, but there is progress.
Therefore, the racist commercial. :



However, it doesn't mean all white people or people in general disrespect this earth.

Yes, some people have to be educated on such things and laws have to be passed to make people PAY for their stupidity.
People are becoming more educated concerning nutrition and the environment.
It would be great if the government would back off and allow the local community small business farmers to sell their vegetable products to the local restaurants and grocery stores. Private individuals can purchase fresh vegetables at the local farmers market, but that rarely means those fresh vegetables are grown locally. It would be wonderful to be able to contract with a few local farmers to provide fresh vegetables to local restaurants and grocery businesses. As usual, the government is selling everyone short by cutting deals to allow certain foods to be provided by non-local big business companies that have no interest in anyone's health, except for their own monetary gain. Therefore, you have people dying from such things as spinach, tomatoes and lettuce. I have watched tv shows about famous expensive restaurants that are allowed to grow their own produce, but who could afford to pay lobbyist to promote this position to legislatures? Small business does not have this kind of power. Even if they all grouped together to make this change, it still wouldn't be enough because it's not about the people and their nutritional needs, it's about them.

I am not against imported products. I just think if you can get the product locally, why not? No, you can't do that, you have to provide the state government the paperwork proving you purchased from the middle man. If you could go directly to the nurseries or farms, inspect and choose what you want to purchase for your local business, it would be so much better for everyone involved, especially the consumer. If your keeping up with what's going on and your standing firm on what you will and will not purchase, the producers of the product will do what it takes to get your business.
If they don't, then they don't need your business. You can always find what you need and someone will be more than willing to do what it takes to provide you with the product you want. The real problem is with the government regulations and rules about what and where you can purchase the product.
The other problem is greed. There is always someone out there willing to cut the consumer short to make a few extra bucks, which gives the government the excuse to intervene in everyone elses business.

That really sucks! If you don't love what your doing and your not doing it to help yourself and everyone else, you really need to do something else.

I know there are a lot of things I could do better, but my hands are tied by state and federal government regulations, as well as prices. Have you heard the saying, "less is more". Ok, so you pay more for less. That's crazy.

I don't agree with the video about how local grocery food markets are the bad guys. Some people may be happy sitting on a farm growing their own food and hiding from the world and separating themselves from interacting with other people.
If that's what some people want, more power to them. I for one don't want to live in a Tee Pee. There is nothing wrong with having modern conveniences, electricity, the internet, etc... It about how you can have what you need and what you want and still work with the environment and not against it. People can interact with different people and cultures without being robbed blind and terrorized by the people who "think" they are in charge of everybody elses LIFE.

For example, I can't go to Alaska and contract with the local fisheries to provide my product, NO...
Alaska has to ship the local fish to freaking CHINA for processing before I can purchase it.
You want to know why CHINA is now the wealthiest country in the world??? Lobbyist.
Yes, take the processing jobs away from Alaskans and give it to the CHINESE so businesses can buy a local product from CHINA. Hello, can you spell UNION? Yep, another middleman robbing the people and the people can't realize they make less for their labor after they pay taxes and UNION DUES and then UNIONS rule their livelihood. To STRIKE or Not STRIKE, that is the question??? Job or no Job??? It's ok,... Alaskans don't pay taxes anyway (no state income tax and no state sales tax), but they sure get benefits from the rest of the taxpayers... I know, I know, they deserve it. Whitey owes them...after all, Whitey produced the fire water, stole their land, robbed their oil reserves, and whatever else excuse anyone can throw out there...It would seem better to have lower taxes as well as JOBS, but no, keep them poor and hungry. That's the way it now WORKS in America.

I'm TIRED, TIRED, TIRED of the stupid BS. I know I didn't have anything to do with any of it, but yet I'm held accountable because of my race and culture. Whatever....

These LOBBYIST should be publicly EXPOSED, one by one, personally, as well of the rest of these official government thieves.

I should get off this subject before I loose it.

High five Haudenosaunee!

Rainyday everything you said was right on! We’ll go on the pow wow together! Not only have they tried to get rid of the farmers, they are saying that local fresh fruits and vegetables, that are pure by themselves, no round up soy pesticide involved, are bad for you, can you believe it and people just go right along and eat there tasteless, nutritionless GMO foods. That big e coli scare with the organic spinach was planned so people would be subliminaly messed with and not eat what’s good for them!

There are so many products out there and so many people and so many looking for a buck and yeah too much B.S. going on.
Flames, I always observe nature and go by that. Vitamin A occurs naturally with Vitamin D such as in cod liver oil for a reason, just as calcium and magnesium do as well in the bones and all the rest of the vitamins and minerals in the body working synergistically. What do you think of this statement:

VITAMIN A AND VITAMIN D INTERACTIONS
The articles cited above show that vitamins A and D work synergistically, not antagonistically; if you take
large amounts of vitamin A without vitamin D, you are likely to develop symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.
Likewise, if you take large amounts of vitamin D without vitamin A, you are likely to develop symptoms of
vitamin A deficiency.
The critics of cod liver oil seem to have very little understanding of how these vitamins work together. In
fairness, very little study has been done on the interaction of A and D, although there is enough to show
that A and D work synergistically. Recent research from Spain indicates that vitamin A is necessary
for both vitamin D binding and vitamin D release to receptor sites. We will be reporting on this work in an
upcoming article in Wise Traditions.
Once again, it is important to realize that traditional diets were rich in both A and D and that A and D have
a myriad of uses in the body. Traditional peoples always had plentiful amounts of both A and D in their
diets.

Alright H. That raw milk seems to be the most important ingredient in the bodybuilders diet. I used to eat like that and get fresh eggs, poke a very small hole in it and just suck it all out....mmmmmm. Oh and from all the research and experiments people do, the food that gives people the most energy is liver.
I'm going to try the butter oil and the high vitamin cod liver oil together, haven't tried that yet.

Price found the highest concentrations of this nutrient in "the milk of several species, varying with the nutrition of the animal" and found the combination of cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter to be superior to that of cod liver oil alone. In the many butter samples he tested, Activator X was only present when the animals were eating rapidly growing green grass. In most regions, this occurred in the spring and early fall.

Using a chemical test, he determined that this compound—which he called Activator X—occurred in the butterfat, organs and fat of animals consuming rapidly growing green grass, and also in certain sea foods such as fish eggs.

Ironically, Price discovered the roles of vitamin K2 in calcium metabolism, the nervous system and the cardiovascular system more than sixty years before the vitamin K research community began elucidating these roles itself, while vitamin K researchers discovered the chemical structure of activator X several years before Price even proposed its existence. Had Price been aware that his chemical test had been used for decades outside of the English language scientific community to detect quinones, a class to which the K vitamins belong, the two independent discoveries of this one vitamin may have converged sooner.

Price showed Activator X to exhibit dramatic synergy with vitamins A and D. Chickens voluntarily consumed more butter and died more slowly on a deficiency diet when the butter was high in both vitamin A and Activator X than when it was high in vitamin A alone. Cod liver oil, which is high in both vitamins A and D, partially corrected growth retardation and weak legs in turkeys fed a deficiency diet, but the combination of cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter was twice as effective. Likewise, Price found that the combination of cod liver oil and a high-Activator X butter oil concentrate was more effective than cod liver oil alone in treating his patients for dental caries and other signs of physical degeneration.

Vitamin K2 is the substance that makes the vitamin A- and vitamin D-dependent proteins come to life. While vitamins A and D act as signaling molecules, telling cells to make certain proteins, vitamin K2 activates these proteins by conferring upon them the physical ability to bind calcium. In some cases these proteins directly coordinate the movement or organization of calcium themselves; in other cases the calcium acts as a glue to hold the protein in a certain shape.33 In all such cases, the proteins are only functional once they have been activated by vitamin K.

Osteocalcin, for example, is a protein responsible for organizing the deposition of calcium and phosphorus salts in bones and teeth. Cells only produce this protein in the presence of both vitamins A and D;34 it will only accumulate in the extracellular matrix and facilitate the deposition of calcium salts, however, once it has been activated by vitamin K2.35 Vitamins A and D regulate the expression of matrix Gla protein (MGP),36,37 which is responsible for mineralizing bone and protecting the arteries from calcification; like osteocalcin, however, MGP can only fulfill its function once it has been activated by vitamin K2.33 While vitamins A and D contribute to growth by stimulating growth factors and promoting the absorption of minerals, vitamin K2 makes its own essential contribution to growth by preventing the premature calcification of the cartilaginous growth zones of bones.38


Price supplied several anecdotes suggesting that Activator X plays an important role in the nervous system. Price administered a daily meal of nutrient-dense whole foods supplemented with high-vitamin cod liver oil and high-Activator X butter oil to the children of impoverished mill workers who suffered from rampant tooth decay. The treatment not only resolved the tooth decay without the need for oral surgery, but resolved chronic fatigue in one boy and by the report of their school teachers produced a marked increase in learning capacity in two others.

Price also administered the butter oil concentrate to a four-year-old who suffered from rampant tooth decay, a fractured leg and seizures. A dessert spoonful of the butter oil served over whole wheat gruel with whole milk once before bed and five times over the course of the following day immediately resolved his seizures. Rapid healing of his fracture and dental caries followed soon after. The fact that these three symptoms appeared together and resolved following the same treatment suggests a common cause for each of them. Sixty years later, modern research is now elucidating the essential role that vitamin K2 plays not only in the dental and skeletal systems, but in the nervous system as well. This strongly suggests it was the key unidentified factor in Price's protocol.

The brain contains one of the highest concentrations of vitamin K2 in the body; only the pancreas, salivary glands, and the cartilaginous tissue of the sternum contain more.
