Pesticides

There are two questions we want you to ask yourselves about safety of crops and quality of foods today...

1) Have you ever wondered what kind of chemicals or pesticides farmers use to kill the weeds, insects or fungus among their crops?

2) Have you wondered the safety of foods you buy from supermarkets that are grown from those crops sprayed with pesticides on a regular basis?

The information provided below came from Dr. Americo Mosca's 1974 book, "Atoms in Agriculture". Dr. Mosca is a famous chemistry prizewinner of the Brussels World Fair.

Did you know that from the chart on America's use of pesticides in agriculture from 1964 to 2003 grew from about 300 million kgs to 1,800 million kgs? Farmers are finding it 'easier" to kill weeds, insects and fungus by just spraying or injecting pesticides on or into the soil, of varying chemical combinations to do the job.

An excerpt from the book...
"I calculate that in the U.S. the use of toxic genetic chemicals, (herbicides, insecticides, hormones, steroids, etc.) cause damage equal to the atomic fallout from 143 H-bombs of 14 megatons each, or in terms of atomic bombs -- from 72,500 atomic bombs of the Hiroshima type. For this reason, disease of all kinds and the birth of mentally retarded babies have increased tremendously in the United States in the last 10 years. The damage to plants, crops, soil fertility and water pollution are practically incalculable. If use of these toxic genetic chemicals persists in agriculture and on food, this will cause the destruction of the American people".

There are chemicals used for specific weeds, other chemicals for insects or fungus but the combination of those chemicals are multiplied into thousands of combinations that could be lethal on the same field they were applied to. The current regulations and determinations of safety levels are usually based on the effect of single chemicals. The spraying of chemicals is becoming an alarming norm of farmers today.

Please realize that Living Food Farm's soil have never touched any pesticides since 1979, almost thirty years ago. We know what's best for our bodies and quality comes from healthy soil. Our barley grass is grown from the very soil we have nurtured for many years, rich in minerals up to 3 feet deep. Take our Tour in our website to understand how we take care of our soil.

Probiotics and Colon

This article was summarized from Dr. Robert Chamberlain March, Organic and Natural Living, 2005

More researchers from all over the world are finally refocusing on how important probiotics are for our health because they discovered that up to 90% of all unknown human illness and disease are mostly caused by unhealthy colon! Interestingly, North Americans take more vitamin and mineral supplements than any other educated population in the world but still 1 out of 2 Americans will die due to either heart disease or cancer!

Why is that?

Because taking vitamins or pills won't help improving your health. They are man-made and are full of toxic chemicals. They are not natural grown, whole food. What's more, there are billions of pollutants in our everyday lives. It includes lead, mercury, cadmium plus over 4500 other toxic heavy metal by-products, drugs, vaccines, and many more. Your immune system will begin to fail unless you do something about it.

What is probiotics, you ask?

Probiotics are health-enhancing bacteria that replenish the microflora in your intestinal track, helping your body to digest and absorb food, and promote good overall health. Probiotics is a Greek word meaning "for life". This contrasts with Antibiotics meaning "against life".

Where can you get probiotics?

Barley grass!

Fermented foods

Kefir

How can our barley grass help you with your colon?

• It is the only vegetation on earth that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age.
• Barley grass powder contains nutrients such as vitamins C and E, which are much more potent together than when taken separately.
• Barley grass is high in calcium, iron, all essential amino acids, vitamin C, the flavonoids, vitamin B12, and a number of enzymes and minerals.
• Barley grass can be used to treat disorders of the stomach and duodenum; pancreatitis; and as an anti-inflammatory agent.
• Barley grass contains superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that protects the cells against toxic free radicals. (Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine, 2005)

We are supposed to have correct balance of 85% probiotic bacteria and 15% pathogenic bacteria in our bodies. It is an ideal ratio of good and bad bacteria in the gut. But most people have 85% bad bacteria and only 15% good bacteria which caused many health problems.

Common Warning Signs of a Bacteria Imbalance

• Difficulty losing weight, sugar/carbohydrate cravings
• Frequent fatigue, poor concentration
• Frequent constipation or diarrhea
• Faulty digestion, acid reflux and other gut disorders
• Sleeping poorly, possible night sweats
• Painful joint inflammations/stiffness
• Bad breath, gum disease and dental problems
• Frequent colds, flu or infections
• Chronic yeast problems, candida
• Acne, eczema, skin and foot fungus, etc
• Extreme menstrual or menopausal symptoms
• Allergies and food sensitivities

Why Living Food Farm's high quality barley grass is perfect for you?

Unlike many barley grass grown from other parts of the United States, our farming philosophy is different and it promotes highest quality soil which produces highest possible nutrients in our barley grass. If barley grass or any other crops are grown from poor soil, they will not help improve your health because there are very little essential minerals that can be absorbed into your body.
