A though on renewable energy.

Technology has come to the point where very small generators can produce enough electricity to service many of our now very energy efficient house hold fixtures. I saw a program on the science channel where a man had a shop building electric power source for impoverished country. He fitted old defunct bicycles with electric generators and it really works. Peddling a stationary bike to light a light bulb or drive a power tool proved very effective, it was amazing. Another program I saw showed a local gym that had all its workout equipment fitted with generators in which the customers working out literally fueled a great portion of the gyms electrical needs. Another project I saw was a company of floating gyms that transported people to and from work while they worked out and yes they produced electricity. If you think about it, anywhere there is motion there is the possibility of creating electricity. In reading the article bellow I just had a thought. What if your source of water flow in your home was fitted with a generator that charged fuel cells in your home whenever water was running? When you take a shower, you’re charging your batteries, when you wash dishes, run the laundry machine, dish washer, watering the lawn, washing your car, filling the kiddy pool. Every time water flows it turns a generator that charged your home’s power supply. The time is coming when we will all be producing our own power needs with no waste, no byproducts, and no pollution.

Radical New Gas Alternative That Your Kids Will be Using

                               

By Darshan Goswami, M.S., P.E.

Hydrogen, produced from tap water, could become the forever fuel of the future, generating power for homes, industry, and cars.

A new day is dawning for a revolutionary way to generate electric power from renewable energy sources. Imagine a future where the electrical power needed to run your computer, TV and DVD is generated from a small appliance about the size of a dishwasher located in your home. Envision generating electricity without combustion, and producing heat and pure drinking water as by-products.

Picture a world powered almost entirely by an infinitely abundant and totally clean fuel. Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, is that fuel, which can be produced from tap water to generate power for homes and cars.

Imagine being able to drive your car more than 500 miles between fill-ups. The car you drive could become a “power station on wheels” producing about 30 to 50 kilowatts of electricity. At work the parked car in the parking lot could be making money for you by supplying energy to the power grid during peak hours. The same fuel cells in the car parked in your garage could provide power for your home use.

In the new age of hydrogen, each individual could become the producer as well as the consumer of energy. Automobile, oil, and utility companies are spending billions to make this dream come true.

skin Care Pruducts You Must Avoid

Ever wonder why so many skin care products you buy — even at the health food store — have ingredients on their labels that you can’t even read or pronounce?

                                                                                            

In my view, if you can’t read or pronounce the ingredient, there is a high  likelihood it should not be in your  lotion or other skin care product.

             

Obviously, you really  want to avoid using anything potentially  toxic on your skin!

             

Because this is such a common problem, I’ve been searching for a product that you could be confident was made of real, recognizable, natural and organic ingredients. So you could enhance your health from the ‘outside  in’, as well as the ‘inside out’.

             

Quality skin care is  not a replacement for good internal health — it is a part of your entire package  of wellbeing.

             

One of the first strategies you can use to improve your skin health is to make sure you are getting enough high quality omega-3 fats. This is such a reliable indicator that I frequently am able to tell someone’s omega-3 needs just by shaking their hand.

             

If their hand is not smooth as a baby’s behind, it’s usually a strong indication that they need some more high quality animal-based omega-3 fats — like krill oil.

             

So if you struggle with dry skin, make sure you are taking enough of these omega-3 fats. In the colder dry winter months, you may even need to increase your dose.

Your skin grows  from the inside out, so your overall nutritional levels really matter. That  said however, caring for your skin is not  just an inside job — it’s an outside job too.

IF YOU ARE A RAW FOODIE there is an even better body butter called BEE YUMMY from Live Live and Organic. This stuff is the best. Truely the highest quality body cream on the market. http://www.live-live.com/Bee-Yummy-Skin-Food-2oz_p_40-500.html

U.S. Government Concedes That Mercury Causes Autism

                                                                                                        

The U.S. government has concluded that childhood vaccines contributed to symptoms of autism in 9-year-old Hannah Poling. The unprecedented concession was in response to one of three test cases that allege the mercury-containing vaccine preservative thimerosal caused autism in children.

According to the case, the child was healthy and developing normally until her 18-month well-baby visit, where she received vaccinations for nine diseases, two of which contained thimerosal. Within 48 hours of the shots, Hannah become ill, refused to walk and could not sleep through the night. Within three months, she began showing signs of autism.

According to U.S. Division of Vaccine Injury Compensation, the shots "significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder" and resulted in a brain disorder "with features of autism spectrum disorder."

Although federal officials continue to say there is no link between autism and vaccines, this concession says otherwise.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has determined that Hannah’s family is entitled to compensation from a federal vaccine injury fund in an amount that is still being determined.

There are currently 4,900 autism cases pending in Federal "Vaccine Court."

Is organic Really Organic

Items that say the that they are Organic only mean they are 95% organic. Items that say they are made with organic ingredients only have to be 70 organic. If it says 100% organic now you know it is 100 percent or do you? The USDA just approved 32 new items that are concered to be organic: 19 food colorings, two starches, casings for sausages, hops, fish oil, chipotle chili pepper, gelatin, celery powder, dill weed oil, frozen lemon grass, and a sweetener called fructooligosaccharides. Please call and write to the USDA and tell them what you think about these changes!
