Are Mammograms Safe?

Lisa Kalison Talks About Breast Thermography

Join Lisa Kalison for a Thermography Breast Screening

Have you ever wanted to do breast imaging and screening without the radiation and discomfort that goes along with mammography? The good news is that Lisa Kalison will be visiting the eastern side of the Big Island again next week with her mobile Thermography service.

Discover the Gifts of Thermal Imaging –

  • No radiation
  • No breast compression
  • No pain
  • No physical contact
  • Earliest metabolic indicators 8-10 years before mammograms
  • Safe for implants, mastectomies, pregnancies, any age
  • FDA registered since 1982

Current research shows that they key to surviving breast cancer is early detection. Cure rates up in the ninety percentages are possible with early detection. Thermographs can detect the heat produced by increased blood vessel circulation and metabolic changes associated with a tumor’s genesis and growth. Angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) is essential to support the growth of a tumor. Areas of inflammation and increased blood vessel circulation can be detected by Digital Infrared Imaging bringing awareness to breast changes before tumors have developed.

The Politics of Raw Food

Based on a talk delivered by Dr. Nicole Baylac in Celebration of World Raw Food Day 2012

There is a silent war being lead against nature and humanity, it is the war over control of our most valuable resource: FOOD.

Agribusinesses allied with their local governments together with processed food manufacturers want control over our food resources because of the ever growing profits it yields. Food is needed by all of humanity; which provides a guaranteed market and income. But in their interest to increase profits these agribusinesses have found dangerous, artificial avenues to manipulate our need for food; and in so doing our perceived need for food is rapidly increased.

This is achieved by producing more palatable foods that become highly addictive. Because these foods are depleted of nutrients and high in artificial stimulants, you can eat all day long without being satiated … and some do. The outcome of which we are too familiar with: obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart disease and high cholesterol. Consequently and not surprisingly pharmaceutical drugs are sold to supposedly solve our chronic health problems.

This last century agribusinesses have replaced small farmers and food-for-profit has replaced food-for-health. Variety has decreased and the focus has been on starchy carbohydrates that can be used in most processed foods.

Monsanto now controls most of the seeds in America. Corn, one of the most important crops in Northern America, is entirely genetically engineered. Eighty percent of the soybeans produced in the U.S. are exclusively GMO; yet treated like ordinary foods during transportation and processing, subsequently contaminating other items.

Wheat is not genetically modified, but is hybridized. Modern hybridization techniques are worse than GMO techniques. Clearfield wheat is an example of a genetic wheat variant created by my modern hybridization.

“How did the chemical company BASF who holds the patent on Clearfield and sells the seed, create this genetic variant? By a process called ‘chemical mutagenesis’. They exposed wheat seeds to the chemical, sodium azide, NaN3. Sodium azide is highly toxic to animals, bacteria and humans, with human ingestion of small quantities yielding effects similar to cyanide.

With accidental ingestion, for instance, the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) recommends not performing CPR on the victim (and just letting the victim die), since it may cause the CPR-provider to be exposed, nor to dispose of any vomitus into a sink, since it can cause an explosion. (This has actually happened.)

The war is not only led by agribusiness but also processed food manufacturers.

There is a website that lists the food processing’s top 100 companies. PepsiCo is at the top followed by animal, grain and dairy based food processing corporations.

An ever growing amount of carcinogenic compounds are used to preserve color and enhance the taste of processed foods. Although it has been proven to cause cancer it remains perfectly legal to continue using them.

Sodium nitrite, for example, is added to processed meat products, even though it substantially increases the risk of pancreatic, colon and breast cancer. Hydrogenated oils, aspartame, petroleum-derived food coloring chemicals and cancer causing preservative chemicals are often found in processed foods.

Do you know that commercial vegetables are also sprayed with plant growth regulators to manipulate the shape or size or production of fruits and plants?

You may wonder why these companies have succeeded in controlling so many people in such a short period of time.

They have the power to control our minds with the media with false advertising using scientists who lie on research they have made and deceptive labeling.

We are made to believe that we do not have time to prepare our food from scratch, that we must go to a fast food restaurant or eat quick oatmeal or buy frozen ready made dinner produced by the food industry.

We are made to believe that cheaper is better and that it is cheaper to buy food than to create it.

The US has the cheapest food and as a result also the most inflammatory diet.

We are being told that genetically engineered foods are safe for our health. We are not provided the right to know the truth.We are being told that food does not have anything to do with health and disease, so that the drug companies can control our health.

People can continue eating toxic food as long as they take their pharmaceutical pills.

It is interesting to see that the annual sales of such processed foods in the US alone are about $175 billion per year. This number is frighteningly close to the $200 billion per year spent on prescription drugs in America.

Even regulating boards promoting food safety have conflicted interests. For instance the labeling of pasteurized almonds as raw almonds. About five years ago some almonds got contaminated with salmonella and a decision was made by the Almond Board in California to flash pasteurize all organic almonds. A process that can bring temperature up to 200°F. These almonds have been sold to us as raw.

The Almond Board in California explained, “raw almonds that have been pasteurized do not differ in any significant way from untreated raw almonds.”

“Except, of course, for the fact that they are dead.” Stating that live, raw almonds are the same as dead, cooked almonds is equivalent to stating that a living human being is the same as a corpse.

“Clearly, the goal of so-called ‘food safety’ initiatives have nothing to do with actually protecting consumers, but a whole lot to do with meeting the interests of agricultural companies and junk food manufacturers. The primary concern of food safety officials appears to be extending shelf life, not protecting consumer health, which is why most of the food safety rules in effect today — and even new ones like this almond pasteurization rule — primarily have the effect of extending food shelf life” reported Mike Adams in Natural News website article, April 5th, 2007.

With this recent decision, the Almond Board of California has unwittingly joined the conglomeration of uncaring, ignorant agricultural corporate interests who have no real concern for consumers, although they disguise their actions as such. Before long, it seems, all the food sold in the United States will be genetically modified, irradiated, pasteurized, homogenized, hydrolyzed and packaged for a two-year shelf life. And it will all be labeled as “All natural!”

It is clear that the food industry takes away from us our right to remain healthy, to live-off nutrient-dense health promoting foods. Instead, in its own profit-seeking interest, it promotes dangerous dead GMO foods full of carcinogenic compounds whilst disguising it as good for you!

The Resistance
This raw food movement is the most significant political movement since the 60’s.

It is significant because it empowers people to regain control of their health. It does so by using:

Primarily fresh fruits and vegetables, the nutrient densest foods for health maintenance
Non carcinogenic non GMO organic food

It is significant because it is preserving the most important mechanism on the planet: the self-healing powers of living organisms.

How can we be more efficient as members of the resistance?

By eating consciously, changing our eating habits to support and maintain good health. But we also need to regain control of our food supply globally by producing and distributing our own food as much as possible.

The two strategies are:

1. GROW YOUR OWN FOOD
Regain control over our seeds and spread the use of natural organic seeds. Growing our own fresh produce by starting gardens in our yards or in communal gardens in cities and villages, producing and supplying food-for-health, and not food-for-profit. A technique called natural farming seems to be very promising.

2. ORGANIZE CO-OPS
It is critical to have more coops that organize healthy food distribution in our cities.

Even health food stores are driven by profits. More packaged than fresh foods are found in our health food stores. Fresh foods sold in stores are often sprayed with retardants to prevent ripening.

Health food store owners follow the false labeling originating from regulating boards (as discussed above).

It is therefore imperative that we create our own transparent and honest channels for distributing nutrient-dense health promoting foods.

The pervasive war between food-for-profit and for-for-health is being fought daily. It is real. It is slowly killing its victims. It is time to say ‘no more’ and do something about it. Are you ready to join the most significant political movement of our time? Join the resistance!
