http://www.thenaturalguide.com – Holly Riley is the parent of a fully recovered autistic child, her son Quinn. Quinn was diagnosed with Autism around the age of two and yet in a just a few short years, through the use of dietary change, biomedical treatment and traditional autism therapies, Quinn was able to come out of the Autism fog. In this video Holly shares what she did to adopt the gluten free casein free diet, which was central to reversing Quinn’s Autism.
In this video, Holly shares:
• That dietary intervention was one of the most important steps to Quinn’s recovery.
• Once all dairy and gluten was stopped, Quinn became more connected to his surroundings and his health dramatically improved.
• She used biomedical treatment which also helped recover her son.
• All Defeat Autism Now Doctors recommend changing the diet of an Autistic child.
• Behavior improves and health improves when dairy and gluten are removed.
• A great resource is the Talk About Curing Autism website.
• Rice milk replaced Quinn’s cow milk.
• Replace dairy with water or a grain beverage.
• Start with one meal at a time, such as with breakfast first.
• Gluten and casein are proteins.
• Fruit and vegetables are better snacks than processed foods.
• Avoid soy because the protein in gluten and casein is similar to soy protein.
• The best milk substitute is clean water.
• Read all labels on all foods and make sure the products are free of malt, sugar, food starch, gluten or dairy. Buy vegan products.
• Do basic cooking; cooking from scratch with whole foods (not processed foods, like pasta).
• The crock-pot can be very useful for cooking.
• Prepare gluten free cupcakes in advance and freeze them and then they are available for special occasions.
• Shop at health food stores to avoid foods with chemicals in them and to get highly nutritious organic food.

U.S. food policy turned Americans to fattest people in developed world
Source: Uploaded by ProtectSouthOssetia on Oct. 24, 2010 to YouTube
American food policy has resulted in increasing rates of obesity, particularly among lower-class and minority populations.
"My father swears by this, he said back in the day, poor people were skinny, now poor people are obese," said Dr. Rani Whitfield of Family Practice and Sports Medicine.
In of one of the very few black neighborhoods in the suburbs of Northern Virginia, nearly everything on the shelves is made with genetically modified products. You can literally pick up anything and see the same genetically modified ingredients like "high fructose corn syrup."
In a higher income neighborhood, outside Whole Foods Market, customers balked at the thought of buying genetically modified products.
"It doesn’t look healthy," said one shopper.
"I can’t read half the ingredients on that thing and if I can’t read it, I won’t eat it," said another.
At the introduction of her Let’s Move campaign to reduce obesity, First Lady Michelle Obama said: "Between what’s in our food and how much we eat, Americans now consume more calories, fat and sugar today than ever before."
Obama has made childhood obesity her main issue to tackle during her time as First Lady. With one in every three kids obese in the US, childhood obesity is becoming more serious than adult obesity. She is encouraging Americans to plant gardens and eat healthy foods.
"It’s ironic that on the one hand, Michelle Obama is planting an organic garden, on the other hand President Obama has put Michael Taylor in charge as the US Food Safety czar. Under Michael Taylor’s watch, the FDA said no testing necessary at all, no labeling on GMOs. He later went on to become the vice president for Monsanto and now he is in charge of the safety of the US food supply. In addition, Obama has placed many key pro Monsanto or key GMO people in key positions in the USDA and elsewhere," said biotech analyst Jeffrey Smith.
These former Monsanto executives are the people making key decisions, not only for the American food supply but also for the American products exported to the world.
"They are supposed to be protecting the people, but what it seems to me is the Department of Agriculture is protecting and promoting Monsanto," said Phil Geertson.
What’s left of America’s organic farming industry is familiar with Monsanto’s stranglehold on the US market. Phil Geertson of Geertson Seeds in Idaho took Monsanto to the Supreme Court because of claims its Roundup Ready Alfalfa seeds were contaminating his farm lands.
David Snively, the general counsel for Monsanto, said: "This product will be out there, so farmers need to coexist."
Geertson lost the case and Monsanto won. Winning means losing to the world market, especially when the European Union and other Western nations like New Zealand refuse American food products because of their ingredients and the lack of labeling.
"It’s incredible what is going on," said Geerton.
Obesity, corporate takeover and the future of America’s health…these are all looming concerns as Americans continue to bite into genetically altered foods. It’s a lot to swallow for a country where there’s an abundance of food and an increasing waistband stretching from high echelons of the government to your dinner table.
Why obesity is a national security threat.
"An army travels on its stomach," said Napoleon Bonaparte.
But what happens if the stomach gets too big to drag?
Congress is passionately debating whether open homosexuality is compatible with military service. But even as this particular culture war seems headed to resolution, a new emerging cultural divide is tearing at military efficiency: obesity and overweight.
In 2008, some 634 military personnel were discharged for transgressing "don’t ask, don’t tell." That same year, 4,555 were discharged for failing to meet military weight standards.
Young adults "too fat to fight"
Military weight standards are not especially demanding. Male recruits younger than 27 must have a body-fat percentage below 26%. That’s twice the fat you’d expect in a young man in peak physical condition.Yet even the relaxed 26% standard is too stringent for modern America. More than 9 million young Americans — about one in four — are too overweight to enlist, a recent report found.
Serving personnel who exceed military limits are offered counseling, nutritional programs and other weight-control assistance. Discharge is very much a last and unwelcome resort.
By the military’s own numbers, some 61% of active-duty personnel were above ideal weight in 2007, up from 50% in 1995.
The U.S. military reflects the society of which it is a part. Americans are gaining weight, and the gain is steepest among the young.
Nutri–Con: The Truth About Vitamins and Supplements
The Nutri-Con Campaign
by Ronnie Cummins, National Director, OCA (Organic Consumers Association)
A campaign to expose the hazards and limited effectiveness of synthetic vitamins and supplements, creating marketplace awareness and demand for truly organic, naturally occurring vitamins, botanicals, & supplements.
Campaign Goals
- To implement a new set of Naturally Occurring Standards (NOS), certification procedures, and labels which are truly organic.
- To expose the fact that 90% or more of the vitamins and supplements now on the market labeled as “natural” or “food based” are spiked with synthetic chemicals.
- To inform and remind consumers that Big Pharma’s prescription and over the counter drugs are generally hazardous substances offering no real solution to our health problems.
- To highlight preventive health and wellness promotion, traditional holistic remedies, and complementary medicine practices which represent the “organic road” to health.
Campaign Background
The Truth About Vitamins & Supplements
The Organic Consumers Association’s nationwide campaign, Nutri-Con: The Down Side of the Vitamin & Supplement Industry, exposes the hazards and limited effectiveness of synthetic vitamins and supplements, and creates consumer awareness and marketplace demand for truly organic, “naturally occurring” vitamins, botanicals, and supplements.
Part of this campaign will be the implementation of a new set of Naturally Occurring Standards (NOS), certification procedures, and labels which are truly “organic and beyond,” and to expose the fact that 90% or more of the vitamins and supplements now on the market labeled as “natural” or “food based” actually are spiked with synthetic chemicals.
An underlying theme of this campaign is to inform and remind consumers that Big Pharma’s prescription and over the counter drugs are generally hazardous substances offering no real solution to our health problems; while preventive health and wellness promotion, traditional holistic remedies, and complementary medicine practices represent the “organic road” to health.
In terms of wellness promotion, there is no doubt that an organic whole foods-based diet and a healthy lifestyle are the “best medicine” for those of us trying to survive and keep our families healthy in the toxic soup of 100,000 synthetic chemicals that surround us everyday, polluting our food, water, medicines, homes, and environment.
As we complement our organic whole foods-based diet with herbs and supplements, we need to make sure that these vitamins and botanicals are derived from naturally occurring plant and mineral sources, and that they contain no synthetic chemicals whatsoever.
We have posted excerpts from an eye-opening new book, The Vitamin Myth Exposed, by Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Health Institute (Chapter 1 & Chapter 2) This book is the opening salvo in a campaign that OCA believes will revolutionize the $20 billion vitamin and supplements industry. OCA sees this effort as part of our ongoing efforts to establish and safeguard strict organic standards in food and farming, clothing, body care, and other important consumer sectors.
We invite you to please circulate The Vitamin Myth Exposed widely to friends and family, and to talk to your local natural foods store or coop about joining forces with the OCA in this important new campaign.
