Thoughts
from the Orchard
by David Klein, Ph.D.,
Managing Editor
 "We
are a part of everything that is beneath us, above us, and around
us. Our past is our present, our present is our future, and our
future is seven generations past and present." -Haudenosaunee
teaching
It seems that all is at a crossroads. Do you, too,
sense a barrage of forces nudging you to make lifestyle changes
in order to cope with what lies immediately ahead? In almost every
aspect of my life I feel the need to reevaluate and further "naturalize"
my way of living. In reflecting upon the mounting global socio-economic-political-ecological-spiritual
crisis, the importance of this magazine's message, its inadequate
mass-market penetration and my recent fiftieth birthday milestone,
I have decided to pursue a higher path with this magazine, one which
radiates a more universally appealing and marketable image to get
our message out to the world on a vaster scale...and its new name
is Vibrance.

Restoring Our Earth To Vibrant Health
by Don Weaver • Earth Health Regeneration
You may have already consciously embraced your part in healing and
restoring the Earth to a much higher state of health and vibrance,
but if not, please consider this your invitation! This has been
my main focus for 30 years while replenishing soils, planting gardens
and orchards and teaching about the health of the Biosphere. While
many socio-ecological problems have worsened over these 30 years,
it appears that an ever higher percentage of our 6.6 billion population
is waking up to the need to transform our ways of living, to truly
go “green,” to make peace with the Earth and ourselves,
to end the “war on Terra.”

 Food
& Health Safety News The Codex Alimentarius Monster Update:
Slowly, Quietly Rampaging Along
by David Klein, Ph.D.
and Sharrhan Williamson
If you have not yet read our long article on Codex
Alimentarius in Living Nutrition vol. 20 or here,
we hope you will. This topic is of the largest importance. The implementation
of weak and toxic global food, agricultural and supplement standards
is well under way, and is tearing down the natural health industry,
including organic food standards. It is all being conducted so surreptitiously
that few know what is going on. The European Union has already adopted
the food harmonization standards of the "Codex Committee on
Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses."

The Luscious Loquat
by Ken Love
 The
loquat is steeped in tradition and ancient Chinese mythology. For
many years only Chinese royalty was allowed to eat the fruit, as
it was thought that loquat fruit falling into the rivers gave the
koi, or carp, the strength and desire to swim against current and
up waterfalls, thus transforming into the mythical dragons. The
emperor didn’t want the common people to have that kind of
strength. The fruit was introduced from China to Japan as early
as 700 A.D.

Savvy Shopping
by Melissa Moser
 In
an ideal world, you could get all your food from your garden and
trees, but modern living often requires that we go shopping for
food. It is important to become a conscientious shopper, not only
being aware of what companies you are supporting, but also of the
costs involved. Yes, in the short term, fresh organic food can be
more expensive, but in the long-term, the extra personal cost is
easily recouped through reduced medical costs and increased energy.
As well, when we consider the global advantages of eating and living
"green," it makes sense to obtain the highest quality
food possible.

Elegant Rawfood Cuisine: Party Pleasers
by Living Light Chef Christina Chadney
 Molé
Verde. This recipe reminds me of something I tried years
ago in England—a dish called “mushy peas,” somewhat
like creamed corn. While “mushy” may sound uninspiring,
it had a lovely comforting creaminess. I've added a Mexican twist
to the “mushy peas” which makes for a “smashing”
(as they say in England) experience! “Molé” means
“concoction”—usually a rich, reddish-brown sauce
that often includes chocolate. This green molé is quite different—it’s
a gorgeous smash of peas, cilantro and lime.

is the world's only health magazine which dares to teach the whole
truth about human health.
Have
you blended mango with tomato? It’s the best soup ever. Do you ever
eat oranges with your watermelon? It’s extremely satisfying. Do you
want to learn more about your food and nutrition program? No? You
used to be so inquisitive. Do you eat overly fatty foods such as nuts,
seeds, avocados and olives every day? It’s time for an experiment.
Fresh, whole, ripe, raw, organic, low-fat fruits and vegetables have
long been recognized as the most nutritious foods for humans. Yet
how many people ever actually try a diet that is comprised ONLY of
these foods?
Where
can you grow organic foods if you don't have a yard or garden area
but still want to reap the enjoyment of eating fresh, organic vegetables?
On your patio or deck, of course! You don't need a garden to harvest
delicious fresh vegetables and herbs right outside your door. Nor
do you need much space. You can grow salad greens and herbs in window
boxes, strawberries in hanging baskets.
I
was a fat formula-fed baby and a chubby child. A fat person is a starving
person and I was always hungry. I believe I was malnourished from
birth. As a kid I’d drive my mother nuts; right after a meal
I’d be hungry again. The same thing happened at school. My brown-bag
lunch had a bologna sandwich, a bag of potato chips and one of those
cute little cartons of milk. All four food groups were covered because
a potato is a vegetable, right? 
One
of the traditional definitions of enlightenment is that it is a state
of fearlessness. The journey of awakening, then, is above all a process
of uncovering and facing your various fears, and learning how to release
them so that you can be freer, happier and more connected to consciousness,
God, Spirit or whatever you choose to call the mysterious Power behind
creation. Ultimately, it’s not about the labels, but about discovering
that you are not separate from that power.
Vigorous,
robust health is the normal state of human existence. To realize this
ideal state, it is necessary to observe the regimen espoused by Natural
Hygiene, a health system that embraces the principles which are in
accord with our cumulative adaptive experiences, gained over millions
of years living close to nature. If we violate the decrees of our
physiological and biological heritage, disease and suffering must
result. 
"If
humanity does not opt for integrity, we are through completely. It
is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference."
