Le Titanic apicole - La terreur pesticide Bees transhume toward oblivion. Bees are deserting by hundreds of billions. The hives are emptied in less than a week. This is a new disaster, which promises planetary amplitude, because bees pollinate 40% of agricultural crops and much of the natural flora. This catastrophe is called "colony collapse syndrome." This documentary film 2:15, directed by Dominique Guillet and Guillet Ananda, is a cry of alarm. What would become of mankind without bees? It is also an indictment against the relentless public poisoners, the Monsanto, Bayer, BASF and the Syngenta, etc.. As requested by Roger Heim, President of the National Academy of Sciences, in 1965, in his introduction to "Silent Spring" Rachel Carson: "When will they be public poisoners in prison?" In this first volume of Beekeeping Titanic, "Pesticide Terror", the poisoning of bees, humanity and the biosphere is denounced by many whistleblowers: Fabrice Nicolino (journalist), Jean-Pierre Berlan (INRA), Christian Vélot (CNRS), Professor Bonmatin (CNRS), Professor Belpomme (oncologist), Dominique Guillet (Kokopelli), Cecile Fléché (formerly AFFSA), Patrick Drajnudel (Stars of the Bees), and many beekeepers de France (Mauritius Coudoin, Franck Alletru, etc. ), Switzerland and the USA. The opposing party is represented by Jean-Charles Bocquet, director of the UIPP, the pesticide lobby, and Jean-Paul Falcon, head of unit in the laboratory of pathology of bees AFSSA Sophia-Antipolis. In this documentary film, we expose the weakening and collapse of bee colonies due to the massive application of pesticides for decades, the corruption of high government and INRA, the collusion between these governments, the pesticide industry and scientists 'independent' (but the balance of agro-chemicals), the complicity of agricultural cooperatives, the lies of UIPP (the lobby of pesticides), cowardice and duplicity AFSSA, the deadly foundation of modern agriculture, the refusal to listen to whistleblowers ... This first trilogy DVD "Titanic Beekeeping" ends with an appeal of journalist Fabrice Nicolino, to revolt, a call to revolt immediately, now, against the industrial pesticideurs, a call to pursue them in court, a call to report crimes against humanity perpetrated by the pesticide industry.

corporate-sugar The wonderful world of multinationals!

The boom in soya production in the Southern Cone of Latin America is one of the most destructive agricultural developments of the last twenty years. The corporations that boom are now moving aggressively into sugar cane, focusing on large tracts of land in southern countries where they can produce cheap sugar. If this development does not cause a reaction, the impact could be severe: local food production will be overrun, workers and communities will face displacement and exposure to increased levels of pesticides, and foreign agribusiness will tighten its grip on sugar production. We try in this article to see the relationship between the development of sugarcane genetically modified (GM) and changes in the sugar industry in the world.

In ten years, nearly the entire Argentine pampas and huge swathes of forest and farm land in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay have been converted into green deserts of soya monoculture. [ 1 ] The soya boom in Latin America has been and still is, a bonanza for agribusiness. He provided the handful of grain giants who dominate the international oilseed and forage land cheap and fertile for the expansion and consolidation of their activities in the world. These same companies, Cargill, ADM and Bunge they have also made billions in profits with sales of required chemical fertilizers. Other major foreign companies, such as AGCO and John Deere, have cashed in tractor sales. Monsanto and Syngenta to have raked in record profits with their genetically modified seeds and chemical pesticides.

The soya invasion is based on a production model based on the use of genetically modified seeds that can withstand huge doses of chemical herbicides. This is Monsanto provided both seeds and herbicides, while a new generation of farm, run mainly by businessmen living in cities, leased or took large areas of agricultural and it organized the work. Each time the model was deployed, it has forced small farmers and from local communities were devastated by the rural exodus and chemical contamination.

As for multinational agribusiness, the experience of soybeans in the Southern Cone has shown how to profitably exploit the expansion of industrial agriculture in developing countries. It opened a new era of conquest. Sugar, which has a long history of environmental destruction and sheer human exploitation, is probably the next harvest to face a boom similar to that seen in soy, especially as new species GM sugar already growing in the fields (see Box 1).

For stay-in-good-health

MOTHER OF ALL NATURAL MEDICINE AND SWEET

dhanvantari The word 'Ayurveda' is composed of the Sanskrit words 'AYUR' (Life) and 'Veda' (knowledge) and therefore literally means "Knowledge of Life" or "Science of Life".

The Ayurveda is a science, a philosophy, a way of life, a method of health care rather than a method, which originated in ancient India during the pre-Vedic (there are more than 5000 years) , and we have been bequeathed by the ancient sages (Rishis and Munis).

The sages of the time anxious to relieve the misery of humanity growing gave birth to this philosophy, this science of life, the Ayurveda, an approach based on scientific research, observation, analysis and meditation.

Ayurvedic medicine has developed over centuries from the observation of nature (plants, animals, men, trees, etc..) And then spread to Tibet, China, Russia, Japan, Egypt, Greece and even into the Roman Empire.

The oldest treatise Ayurvedic, written in Sanskrit, Charaka Samhita, the first version is a written compilation of the results of these observations, performed by a physician and wise at the time, Charaka, around 1000 BC.

This book which was redesigned to achieve the version we know today, the first centuries AD, and is still authoritative reference even today.

According to Ayurveda, health is the ability of the individual to live in harmony
with itself and with its environment.
When this balance is broken then the disease may make its appearance.

The Ayurveda has been used for more than 5000 years without interruption.

The Ayurveda is only interested in the maintenance and restoration of the physical and / or psychological in treating the cause of the disease (imbalances) and not its effects (symptoms).

In Ayurveda, the treatment of diseases or conditions are paramount for a thorough understanding of the whole person (body, mind, soul, lifestyle) and by taking account of its singularity.

Careful and extensive examinations to determine the constitution of each individual, the nature of the imbalance and the different therapies tailored to each person.

Ayurveda is currently experiencing a growing interest worldwide whatsoever on the part of doctors, all specialties, scientists or individuals sick or healthy, eager to improve the quality of life and quality of care.

The aim of Ayurveda is to provide advice on diet and
lifestyle so that healthy people can stay in
healthy and those with health problems can improve their health.

Ayurvedic medicine is a health care system officially recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization) since 1982, as a system of care VALID (but used successfully for thousands of years).

The article below is the rough translation of the article available on the website doctorsaredangerous ,
Written in English by Elaine Hollingsworth. . The source of this article translated into French: hartkeisonline

The dangers of soy explained by Health activist Elaine Hollingsworth

To view, read and hear about it in the larger and "alternative" media life that you think that the ubiquity of soy and its derivatives are the most versatile, natural, easy-to-heart, improving health , prevention of fat, growth promotion of food and, in general, adorable ever grown on our good earth.

A simple, easy to grow beans, which is part of our diet since the dawn of civilization, promising health and vitality of lactose intolerance, newborns, the elderly, menopausal, the frail , sports, health conscious and just about everyone also.

It's inexpensive, available everywhere, on its own or as an essential ingredient in thousands of other foodstuffs such as bread, cakes, confectionery, infant formula, milk and meat alternatives, cereals for breakfast, sauces, snack foods, pasta, it forms the basis of non-stick cooking sprays. It is widely used in feed stock and is in most pet foods. Doctors, farmers, nutritionists, athletes, companies, government - all this makes a point of telling us how safe and health-which is amazing-food. It's so nice and safe, they say, it's often not even as an ingredient in many processed foods.

Throughout the world, hundreds of millions of hectares are devoted to its culture, a culture to ensure millions of farmers who ate pay a fee for developers of their genetically modified strains to help Monsanto Chemical Company and other large companies the spread of the Gospel that soy is good for you.

Too bad for decades, these same developers and companies have been voluntarily removed and the evidence that prolonged ingestion of soy causes cancer and other fatal diseases that destroys the bone havoc with hormonal systems of men and animals alike, represses the sex drive and, although eliminated from our diet overnight, is so embedded in the food chain and the bodies of all those who have never ingested, its negative effects still plague the health generations to come.

The truth behind the overtly commercial integration of the Abominable Bean in the western diet is a disturbing story of fraud, corporate irresponsibility, greed, bad science, public and media manipulation , corruption, intimidation, political opportunism, law enforcement, legal maneuvering, regulatory inaction and incompetence of government that makes the eye, as tobacco companies Good Guys.

This is not only endangering the lives of products allowed to be grown, manufactured and sold, but in this case, its producers and pushers have managed to create their own mythology around what the government regulators and supervisory health are called or not to do homework or buckling under pressure. They give soy pushers virtual carte blanche to continue to misinform, confusion and poison, not only those who are suckered by eating their toxic products, but also all those who, without the obligation to participate in this toxic time bomb by through its investment in all types of basic foodstuffs and animal feed and poultry intended for human consumption. Passive smoking is one thing, force-feeding is another.

Potager bio

An organic vegetable garden is not like the other one. Plants and vegetables will happily mix their flowers, the earth is covered with mulch, green manure grow pumpkins next. Tillage in the organization of plantations, back on the main principles of organic vegetable garden.

Before undertaking anything to build or plant your garden, it is essential to know the soil characteristics which it is made.

This knowledge will allow you to define because:

  • The means employed to correct its defects to make it "good earth".
  • Plant species that have the greatest chance of succeeding and of course those, except fireworks expensive, can not thrive.

La culture écologique des plantes légumièresLa culture écologique pour petites et grandes surfaces

Both medium and plants "pantry" in which the roots get a significant portion of the food plant, the soil is a very complex environment whose fertility depends on both its physical nature as its chemical composition.

This article was prepared based on the advice of Yves Gagnon present in his two books on organic cultivation of vegetable plants and ecological culture for small and large surfaces .

"When I went to compete with 153 engineers of agricultural administration in Mexico, I have beaten 2.000% with sprouts. 110 tonnes per hectare: the audit was made ​​by them, they did not even reach 6 tonnes! "

The man who speaks with plants (48:34)

The miracle is Don Jose Carmen Garcia Martinez, who with his love for plants, the words he addresses and ancient Aztec recipes, has succeeded in growing giant vegetables. He thus produces 45 kg of cabbage, maize plants 5 m. high, chard leaves 1.5 m. long, 7-8 squash per foot (usually 1-2), 110 tons of onions per hectare (16 tons normally). A Peruvian journalist, Yvo Perez Barreto, Carmen went home to find Don and told everything he saw. But this is not the only witness: Agricultural University of Chapingo (Mexico), under the authority of Professor Nicolas Cerda, soil scientist, compared the results of Don Carmen with those obtained by the methods of University on land adjacent. Engineers from the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture came analyze water, vegetables, seeds, and especially the volcanic terrain of the farmer. Nothing specific has been detected. Among the skills of Don Carmen, we note: grown without pesticides and up to ten times increase agricultural production, use 700 g of fertilizer per hectare, instead of the usual 500 kg in intensive agriculture; grown on saline lands ; create new disease-resistant plants, nontransgenic ... at first, almost sterile in its land, he sat next to the plant and asked for help. Don José Carmen is convinced that it is through communication that has mentally established with plants that received these miraculous results. For him, the secret is love which gives it a green thumb. His book (1) gives lots of recipes, tips, which could revolutionize the world, while changing the human mentality: love instead of immediate profit.

Carrots are raw (1:40:58)

Because ultimately we all a little something to contribute, here's my contribution: My journey for me reappropriate the act of feeding me.
This message follows an impression, many people "wonder" what to do, where to start to be an agent of change, which meet or what to read.
There are various answers to this: start with loving you, the world will manifest this love, slowly changing paradigm, values, re-appropriates you your life, its causes, consequences and the way you came (e) survey .
I have a healthy body gradually became an indispensable part of my path. No extremism, not turning 180 degrees in my way of life, just find why I eat and how best to do it.

The food, like the precepts of Chinese medicine, should not be a poison against which the body struggles to live. The food, the food, the body must bring the ingredients of life, and life is health, clean energy that makes you strong, beautiful, peaceful, happy ...

I learn nothing to anyone, refined foods, salty, sweet, baked, grilled meats, fats contain toxins that the body will be eliminated. Conversely, fruit, raw vegetables and cereals, are almost fully considered by the agency (aillant lost his bad habits) as a source of benefits, and similar items not used, or digestion, or to break the molecules, is to assist the body in its task (the enzymes present in raw vegetables help the body assimilate the same vegetable, it is also the same mechanism that helps a vegetable left on the ground, to decompose enough to return, more faster than the same cooked vegetable).

bio_inside Organic agriculture official is better than Jesus: it does not multiply the loaves and fishes, it floods its customers products 'quality', from a few copies obtained under the watchful eye of supervisors. With it, a ton is ten tons, or an intimate encounter.

Denounce this scandal is necessary but insufficient to resolve the crisis it reveals. To achieve this, we must investigate the causes, which will upset many people.

Initially, the organic produce was clean and thus generate a different society, for respect for life, by a systematic search of quality, by the health gains that would follow and the new social relations that were to become established.

In practice, what happened to the bio?

She did more research quality, but the respect of a specification where each bond is derogable. Most animals raised organically are treated conventionally protected exemptions. The specification allows two treatments per year, in addition to bonds. For treatment, do not include injection or ingestion, but taken all necessary to "cure" the condition at the root of the decision. The treatment can last several weeks. Moreover, organic products no longer guarantee "no antibiotics" but "without residue." The latter term has a legal definition: residues below the MRL (maximum residual limit). This is a legal obligation that should not be used as a selling proposition. All products on the market should be "no residue" bios bios or not. There is little that the Guide to organic meat (1) to claim that there are no antibiotics in the meat.

For plants it is the same with weed killers "biodegradable," or organic products admitted but such doses used they become dangerous (2). Rotenone example invades the nervous system. The Indians put on their arrows to paralyze the prey. Some veggies can present a danger to consumers if they too were treated with it, or others such as copper. Treatment should be the last resort to save a crop when it failed in the search for equilibria. Practically, it is the only defense. How different when the salads are grown on acres in mono variety, when the vines are just clones of fields (3), etc. ...

Today there are in the market for herbicides that disappear in the analysis (4). How is this miracle possible? Just because the so-called active molecule is only an illusion. When she comes in contact with the ground it explodes and forms of new molecules. These do not appear in the analysis because they are undesirable since unknown. So just to use such a product that leaves some very visible herbs, such as poppies, so that the farmer abusing the controller and the laboratory. Finally, at least those willing to be fooled, because there is a simple way to know the truth. Just take a little soil and sow the seeds sensitive to weedkiller. If they do not germinate, there is something wrong, even if the analysis is silent. (5)

Controllers do not practice this method because it is not included in the specifications, perhaps because it would eliminate too many producers. Remember that it is the producers who pay checks! If supervisors disqualified too many "customers" they condemn unemployed. seeding technique used by some buyers, eager to have safe products, guarantees the quality of what they earn. In this case, the buyer pays the diligent and Control. In the case of traditional organic production, the controller ensures, at Seller's expense, that the product meets the specifications. The book says it should not be any traces of residue analysis, full stop.

At this stage of the exposition we understand that health gains are zero! Read the rest of this article ... "

Jardin Terre At a time when, perhaps, some people are wondering where to go to find a healthier diet, and that is close to home, the new site stop-caddy.org was established to meet this need information. It was designed as free directory, from which it is possible to locate commercial farms (mostly), for example selling their products directly to individuals. Also, you can reference it (as owner) or locate (as applicant) land to farm, this time to eat without spending a penny (note that the location function is the same used for commercial farms).

In parallel with this goal, the site also offers a basic solution to the economic crisis being booted. Base, because he does not claim of course not solve the many and varied problems experienced by the planet and its inhabitants. However, for people wanting to live simply, and rather loose in this mode of "materialism", the site should have more interest. The principle, in short, is a part in managing the exchange of all types of services (whose exchange value is no longer money, but the notion of time), and secondly to allow to cultivate land; through this registration noncommercial quoted just before.
