 Was it a natural environment? Did the cow have access to open fields, sunlight and clean water? Or was this a cow raised as part of a slaughterhouse operation, produced for the sole purpose of generating profits? If you eat cows' meat that has undergone that kind of experience, you are consuming a product that is tainted with the negative experience of the animal from which it came. |

 Recent studies funded by Britain's natural environment Research Council provide support for those concerns. [Thomas, et al, 2004; Stevens, et al, 2004] While there have been five mass extinctions in the history of our planet, they are all presumed to have been caused by extraterrestrial events, such as a comet smashing to earth. One of the new studies concludes that the "natural world is experiencing the sixth, major extinction event in its history." [Lovell 2004] This time though, the cause of the extinctions is not extraterrestrial. |

 This is an astounding truth about health, and it just goes to show you the innate healing potential of the human body when it is granted access to natural healing modalities found in the natural environment.
It's also interesting to note that your body automatically produces just the right amount of vitamin D. If you get more sunlight than you need, you cannot overdose on vitamin D. Your skin will produce only what's needed, and no more. |

 So, when you eat a piece of beef, you are eating, quite literally, a highly concentrated form of saturated animal fat containing environmental toxins that would never be present in those quantities in the natural environment. Thus, in addition to supporting healthy cholesterol, avoiding red meat will also save you from all of the terrible negative side effects of environmental toxins.
Avoid dairy products
Avoiding dairy products is also important for cardiovascular health. Hydrogenated cows' milk is something that absolutely does not belong in the human body. |

 Similarly, if we really needed all these synthetic chemicals and didn't make them in our own bodies, they would probably be found in our natural environment (like vitamin C). But you don't see Prozac growing on trees, do you?
The truth is, these synthetic chemicals are simply not found in nature, or in our bodies. That should be the first clue right there: How safe can they really be if they're foreign to basic human biology?
Some of these drugs are outright poison. The anticoagulant medication Coumadin, for example, is known generically as Warfarin. |

 Human beings evolved in a natural environment in which they had access to fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grasses and animals. These were all available free of charge as long as a person was willing to expend the effort and time necessary to gather such items. Nature offered them freely. Nature didn't charge you for creating vitamins and minerals. The plants and soils provided these on their own, naturally.
Plants create seeds naturally, and these seeds are freely available to humans, birds, insects and any other creature that wants to use those seeds. This is the natural order of things. |

 You do that by relying on plants, foods, natural environment, sunshine, fresh water, clean air, and by getting grounded with the earth. That's how you get healthy. I've done it, along with thousands of others who have done it. Organized medicine has no benefit whatsoever in modern society, except if you've been in a car crash or something. If an iron girder from a steel building falls on you and you need some surgery, then definitely get some surgery. American surgeons are some of the best in the world. They can stop the bleeding from gunshot wounds and put you back together. |

 God gave mankind dominion over His creation, with an eye toward our cooperating with Him as good stewards of our natural environment. However, "dominion" does not mean the earth is ours to treat as we please. While we can enjoy and benefit from the amazing bounty all around us, we also have a responsibility to uphold and protect it.
What we see today is mankind's failure to be accountable to God's purpose. The delicate ecological balance of our planet has become terribly compromised. We have contaminated our air and water, and we are overconsuming resources that are not well managed. |

 Many plastics, household chemicals, personal care products, and environmental toxins, pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics and other synthetic drugs, send manmade hormone-disrupting chemicals into our bodies and the natural environment. Although the extent to which this exposure affects human health is unknown, there is growing evidence that suggests it may be responsible for recent worldwide increases in health problems, including precocious puberty, breast and prostate cancer, infertility, low sperm counts, auto-immune diseases, and even osteoporosis. |

 In the long history of humankind, combating disease has been an important aspect in the interactions between humans and natural environment, affecting the very existence and propagation of human beings. Today, although science and technology are very advanced, many diseases still trouble us and even threaten our lives. During the process of understanding and treating diseases, humans have discovered a variety of plants with therapeutic value. |

 If they're not learning about how humans should experience the natural environment and prevent chronic disease, then what are they learning? Obviously they're not learning anything useful, because they're not giving people information that would actually help them prevent chronic diseases. They're only being taught how to mask symptoms of disease with expensive drugs.
This is Nutrition 101, folks. This is fundamental, basic information about how the human body works. I just can't believe medical schools graduate doctors who don't know this stuff. |

 Sure, you can buy cat's claw at any health food store, but where else can you buy cat's claw that has been harvested from its natural environment, that has been blessed by the native peoples from Peru who are harvesting this as part of a sustainable revenue model to protect their homeland, that has been packaged and marketed by a company headed by a person who imparts the intention of healing into his company and product line? Where else can you find an herb like that? |

| As human beings, we have a God-given right to eat plants, to use the medicinal herbs found in our natural environment, and to heal ourselves using these gifts provided by nature. I believe any attempt to criminalize our connection with nature is itself a crime, and should be treated as such.

 A Manifesto for Sustainability: Declaration of Interdependence
Whereas the ravages of humanity upon the natural environment and upon one another are no longer acceptable for our future and that of the planet and other living beings,
Therefore be it resolved that we the citizens of Earth declare our right to live with dignity in a healthy environment free from the threat of war and from the suppression of new knowledge. |

While working in this room in winter and without being exposed to the sun, Dr. Reich developed a deep tan all over his body and felt "extremely vigorous," as he commented. He also used bion solutions experimentally to treat various disease symptoms; when bion solutions were injected into experimental animals, they killed or immobilized pathogenic bacteria and cancer cells, he reported.
Dr. Reich also made bion packs by boiling beach sand or clay for 15 minutes several times and then freezing it. |
| Live with a caring group in a peaceful, natural environment; try regression therapy and emotional release therapy (see step 63). Avoid heavy-metal contamination; sanitize your teeth; apply violet color therapy systemically; treat for parasites and Candida; use St. John's wort as an herbal tincture during depression.
Scleroderma: Antimicrobial therapy including colloidal silver and oxygen therapy are recommended, as is the herbal parasite cure with use of the electronic zapper and magnetic pulser. |

| Scores of competent climatologists and ecologists are telling us that human civilization, led by Western industrial interests, may be headed towards global catastrophe if we don't do something very different very soon about our natural environment.
The challenge is, how, when and by whom can this be done? Time and time again, powerful vested interests have carried the day until sensible people seem to have little energy left to resist the onslaught, to think anew, and to guide us out of our dilemma. |
| We've somehow lost our common sense about our relationship with the natural environment and therefore our collective future. The twentieth century was our most violent and heedless one, and continues to escalate into the current century. The first half of the twentieth century revealed massive death by the war machines of two world wars; the second half vindicates Vogt's perceptive remarks about our declining environment. We are going to have to rethink, and I know Mr. Vogt would agree: Something must be done. |

 In the plant's natural environment, a tiny hummingbird and a bee called the melipone pollinated the vanilla orchid, but these species are now extinct because of pesticide usage. All vanilla is now hand-pollinated, and pollination must occur within a few hours of the flower's opening. The mature pods must be picked just before the moment when, thoroughly ripened, they would split open by themselves.
Without curing, the vanilla pod would have no great culinary interest. The aroma and flavor develop as a result of a complicated cuting process that lasts five to six months or more after harvest. |

| After acknowledging the breakdown of the human condition and natural environment globally Laszlo expresses a call to responsibility for creating a global community based on the spirit of sustainability. "Planetary consciousness," he writes, "is the knowing as well as the feeling of the vital interdependence and essential oneness of humankind, and conscious adoption of the ethics and ethos that this entails." 1
Elsewhere, Laszlo says: "Evolving the human spirit and consciousness is the first vital cause shared by the whole of the human family Responding to the challenge of... |
| I am well into a book Re-Inheriting the Earth, which documents these crimes against ourselves and our natural environment, and so I must place my political remarks first, with all due apologies to nonprofit structures who are not supposed to talk about such things.

 Wildcrafting plants, the practice of collecting wild plants from their natural environment, highlights the need to preserve habitats as a source of plant and seed. However, it is even more important to protect the land for the sake of Earth itself. Herbalism is part of a dawning awareness in humanity that Earth and its inhabitants do not existence solely for our use.
It is no wonder that the production of herbal medicines, and in our example marshmallow, involves no abuse of laboratory animals. |

 We live in bodies that were designed and built to scrounge for scarce calories in the natural environment. And the method for that motivation was simple: hunger.
Your body uses hunger to whip you into action. "Go find me some berries!" it screams. "Get me some animal fat!" It's no coincidence that animal fat and sugar are the most sought-after comfort foods: they're rich in calories, and they convince your body that you have enough food. |

 Better still, he would never get sick again, provided he ate natural food, lived in a natural environment and lived a sane, sensible, healthy and natural life.
Since the infallible intelligence of the living organism withdraws the sensation of hunger when there is an excess of food or when the body has been wounded, the desire to fast begins when either of these happen.
We read in ancient history that fasting has been practiced since time immemorial by the religious people of the East and by most ancient civilizations. |

| We have seen the results of indiscriminate addition of manmade chemicals to our natural environment. The use of synthetic (or "natural") estrogen by injection or in the form of pills, I refer to the list, given below, of herbs used by women to help them through "the Change." Hormones, like anything else in our body, are made up from the foods and herbs we ingest.

 Given the close relationship between hunter-gatherers and their natural environment, hunting and gathering tribes such as the Bushmen and the Pygmies may provide valuable information for anthropologists seeking to understand the development of human social structures. Hunting and gathering societies around the world share many cultural characteristics, such as nomadism, small community size (generally twenty-five to fifty individuals), sexual division of labor (strictly defined roles and occupations for men and women), communal food sharing, and an essentially egalitarian organization. |

 It's an essentially Utopian concept that strives to bring humanity into harmony with the natural environment. Baubiologists view humans, their clothing, and their dwellings as one living system, comparable to layers of skin. It is essential that all three work in harmony.
The movement grew out of World War II when Germany was devastated by bombings. After the war the country was rebuilt using synthetic construction materials. |

 Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum in its natural environment in Baja California (Mexico).
Distribution
The cactus is found only in Mexico: Baja California, Chihuahua, Sonora, Colima, and also near Tehuantepec.
Cultivation
In Mexico, the cactus is propagated by planting pieces that have been cut from young shoots. The cactus is often planted in dense rows to protect houses and gardens as a living fence.
Appearance
This cactus develops long, straight stems that grow upward, parallel to one another, and recall the pipes of an organ. |
