Help Ontario's Organic Turkeys
- Published Yesterday

The Organic Council of Ontario is currently in discussion with the Turkey Farmers of Ontario (TFO) regarding organic certification of Ontario turkeys. The TFOhas imposed a rule which requires that "all turkeys must at all times be housed under a solid roof". The Canadian Organic Standard(COR) requires turkeys to have access to outdoors to be certified organic. This means farmers holding turkey quota in Ontario cannot produce turkey that meets the COR, which is in line with internationalorganic standards.
OCO has recently launched an online petition to the Honourable Premier McGuinty and Honourable Minister Dombrowsky asking the Ontario Government to overrule the policy of Turkey Farmers of Ontario that makes organic turkey production illegal.

We invite you to beautiful Sedona, Arizona for the 7th Annual International Restorative Medicine Conference. Taking place from October 21-24, this four day conference for physicians and health care professionals includes two separate session.

The goal of Restorative Medicine is to help patients regain and maintain optimal health after treatment has ended. Our conferences are geared towards providing you with practical information and effective protocols that can be directly applied in practice. The Restorative Medicine Conference draws a diverse group of health care professionals to learn together in a relaxed and friendly environment.
We are honored to have an outstanding group of lecturers this year, including: Gerrie Lindeque, MD, Jill Stansbury, ND, and William Shaw, PhD. Continuing Medical Education Credits will be available for MDs, DOs, NDs and other health care practitioners for both sessions.
The 2009 Restorative Medicine Conference consists of 2 Sessions that will be running concurrently over the four day conference. Participants are welcome to choose freely from any classes in either sessions. Practitioners interested in certification in the WT3 Protocol and WTSmed Supplements will need to attend the first 3 days of Session A.

Now Playing in Toronto: Look for it in a theatre near you
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.

Dr.Ronald Hall, a microbiologist from Victoria, Austrailia testified recently at the trial of Michael Schmidt (pictured here), the farmer advocating for a legal way for those who want to purchase raw milk. This is a copy of his testimony plus a link to YouTube for more information
The testimony is important because he explains how raw milk has the ability to protect us from bad bacteria and help us build our good bacteria. The world has become so bacteria-phobic that basic science has been overlooked and the protection that nature gave us in our food has been forgotten
Thank you, Orly, for sending this to us.

If you don’t think much about the foods that you eat, this book will change the way you think and if you do think a lot about what you eat, then great! This book will teach you more!
Although many individuals claim one can survive without food, in the end we know better.
As matter of fact (“ Manner’s Makyth Man”) it’s food that makes men. This is a knowledge shared not only true for humans, but animals too. Humans and animals have also started along the path of cultural evolution; a path that has led to fascinating variations in the food, eaten in different human cultures, plus the hundreds of ways humanity has discovered to prepare them for the table.

Despite what must seem like a strange ingredient to put in a cake, this recipe produces a result that is rich and moist and would please the most ardent chocolate lover. Both chocolate and beets have wonderful health benefits.
Chocolate contains flavanoids which are powerful antioxidants and also a good source of magnesium.
Beets are a great source of both types of fibre and contain powerful phyto-chemicals that can help protect against heart disease, birth defects and cancer; especially colon cancer. Beets are particularly rich in folic acid, calcium and iron. Try it!
Do You Think You Understand Cholesterol?

This hormone-like substance plays both a vital and detrimental role in our health. There is no nutritional substance which is as controversial as cholesterol and, unfortunately, can strike terror in the minds of people who have been misinformed . There is one thing which we must keep in mind. The more excess calories we consume –especially from simple sugars, sat fats and other non-essential fats – AND the more stress we are under, the more cholesterol our body makes. The correlation with stress is borne out of the fact that cholesterol is the precursor of stress hormones.
