Ministry update
Dear
Friends,
Welcome
from the wet, windy reaches of
central Maine where spring is enjoying a wild
beginning! Outside the sun is trying to shine in
order to warm cool, if not cold, days and nights.
Local farmers scramble and fret unseasonably
frosty nights as we all run for cover: covering
precious 'early-ups' as well as ourselves! Warm
clothes, wool covers, and wood stoves are yet
in style. While in our hearts we know that spring
has sprung, the season is definitely off to a rocky
start.
Apart from wild and wooly weather, those of us at
The Living Way have been busying ourselves with
healthy pursuits. Happily our HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting
last month drew a larger-than-usual crowd.
Eager attendees came to learn about natural dental
care. After the video, I presented product info and
brief testimonials. The video portion of the meeting
will be aired on Channel 7 public access TV, so
watch for it soon.
This month's HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting
is
entitled, 'Energize Your Body!,' and
will feature
a presentation by local friend and fellow health
enthusiast, Sandy Reynolds. A certified
Lymphologist,
Sandy's knowledge of how to activate and balance the
body's electrical energy promises to educate as well
as enlighten. Learn how personal eating habits and
lifestyle choices impact your body's energy level.
Discover the inside story of the body's electrical
system and what you can do to 'keep charged' daily.
What you learn at this meeting could revolutionize
your life. This presentation requires audience
participation, so plan to join us! Learn more about
this HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting here.
This
month's feature article follows along with our
series, 'Recipe for Radiation Survival.' While
Part 1 addressed the nature and dangers of nuclear
radiation, this month I will discuss the potentially
harmful affects of the sun's UV radiation. Though
sunlight itself is not considered harmful to the
human
body, excessive amounts pose definite health risks.
'Recipe for Radiation Survival- Part 2' is written
to educate by presenting compelling evidence
that sun and earth changes are upon us, ones
that have the potential of endangering personal
health and survival. For the sake of your
future,
please read up!
As
usual, links to important news articles and
resources follow along in this newsletter. Many
valuable resources are available on-line free
of charge. Please note the free
movie listings
as well as the latest issue of Hallelujah Acres'
Health News.
For
your interest, I have added a few new pages
on our website. Would-be or avid gardeners are
welcomed to search out our Garden Helps for tips,
helpful articles, videos, how-to's, and more. For a
quick glance at some of the latest reports on the
Fukushima disaster, visit our Radiation in the News section as well
as our main Radiation page. These
quick-reference guides will help educate concerning
important health-related issues.
On the
home front, our garden is cleared and ready
to plant. Despite the cool weather, most of our herbs
are 'up-and-at-it.' Early harvests of dandelion,
oregano,
nettles, and lovage are making their way into our
soups,
salads, smoothies, dehydrateds, and fancy dishes.
Suffice to say, after a long winter, the fresh, free
(!)
greens from our own backyard are a welcomed delight.
Daily I am picking baskets of wild edibles and
assorted herbs, onions, and garlic. Though I have yet
to plant
the garden, it is surprising how much food is already
coming in from the backyard! Truly there is nothing
like fresh 'wild' juice and salads! For a closer look
at
the latest ventures of this 'backyard farmer' read my
progress report here.
It was
a happy day last month when we added a
new Excalibur dehydrator to our Living Kitchen. Its
arrival was both a relief and an inspiration, since
we
finally had to bid farewell to our two, battle-worn
'E's'
that had served us for over twenty years. With the
'season of splendid eating' coming on, we are glad
to have a new Excalibur on board. Consider investing
in one to preserve your garden goodies.
By way of comment, a healthy highlight came our way
recently with the viewing of a new, locally-produced
movie, Farmers' Market.
Funded by Maine General
Hospital (of all sources!) in coordination with a
few,
select local farmers and retailers, the film educates
and promotes community-supported agriculture.
Without a doubt, 'buying local' is in. Eating 'farm
fresh'
is happening. The natural way of life is enjoying a
come-back. People are learning to live again! Look
for Farmers' Market to play the
rounds on the local
scene, including public access TV. Catch the action
as well as the message: buy local!
With
these thoughts in mind, the season of recreation
is upon us. Wrap up in the warm and sun, while
rediscovering the joys of living. Life is simple. It
is
also free. Take deep breaths, unwind, and celebrate
living in a dimension that you never knew existed:
where there is no sickness, pain, or dis-ease. Such
is the kingdom of YHVH come on earth. Reach up
and pull down heavenly health for yourself today!

Article: 'Recipe for Radiation Survival-
Part 2'
There is nothing like
the sun. It is a familiar friend
that beams a much-welcomed, warm, and healthy
smile our way each day. Vital to our existence, the
sun has been part of our world since the beginning,
bestowing the blessings of life upon us in marvelous
ways. Nevertheless, what happens when this friendly
fireball in the sky suddenly decides to change face
turning friend to foe?

Recipe: Dandy Spring Tonic
One of the first
spring arrivals are dandelions.
Long known for their health benefits, dandelions
are a simple, humble way to add important
nutrients (especially iron) to your diet. They are
also a good blood cleanser and diuretic. Welcome
the spring season by waking up your body with this
tasty but bracing drink!
3 oranges, juiced
(about 1 cup)
handful fresh dandelion greens plus flowers
(the flowers are loaded with lecithin!)
few stems parsley (high in vitamin K)
1-2 large cloves garlic (good for what ails you)
few slices fresh ginger (don't be bashful)
1- 1.5 cup filtered water
Blend well and drink immediately. Use as a
refreshing way to start the day!
Note: When gathering
dandelions, follow the rules
of good foraging by picking plants from toxic-free
growing areas.
Organic ingredients always recommended.
