My Review of Food Matters – A Movie Everyone Should Watch

My Review of Food Matters – A Movie Everyone Should Watch

I bought my copy of Food Matters probably about 18 months ago – I think around the time it was first released. It really is an eye opener into the causes of the epidemic of chronic disease in our Western nations.

Food Matters features experts on nutrition and health such as Phillip Day, Andrew Saul, Charlotte Gerson, David Wolfe, Dr Dan Rogers, Prof. Ian Brighthope, Dr Victor Zeines, and Jerome Burne. The movie is very detailed and they talk about how food can be used to cure all manner of illnesses from cancer, heart disease and diabetes to depression and mental illness. The fact is that as much as the media tells us that the next cure for cancer is ‘only a 5 or 10 years away’ (and has been for the last 30 years) – it’s not. The cure for cancer, as well as all these chronic disease that we seem plagued with lies in what we put into our bodies – how much nutrition our cells are getting and how many toxins and chemicals our bodies have to deal with.

Food Matters discusses the problems with our food supply, the fact that we are gorging down massive amounts of food, but are suffering from malnutrition at the same time. It also discusses the fact that when things go wrong, we’ve been programmed to reach for a pill to fix it and that the ‘take a pill to fix it‘ thinking doesn’t work. To fix the problem, we must address the cause.

This movie discusses what we should be eating – organic foods and superfoods and really, truly healthy foods – not the food pyramid that we’ve been advised to follow by government departments and the medical system. They talk about how ridiculous it is that the food fed to patients in hospitals is devoid of nutrients, overly processed junk that is doing nothing to promote or assist the health and rehabilitation of the patients.

This movie can change your life. It can change your health and the way you look at food and what you put into your body. If you have children or are planning on having children, then watching this movie is even more important.

This is a great start to educating yourself about how to stay healthy and keep your family healthy. A large part of my reason for creating this website is to do precisely that – help as many people to get educated as possible because it makes me sad and angry that companies with faceless people at the helm making decisions are taking you for a ride. They are marketing to you, junk – junk that is robbing you of your health and they take your money for that and make massive profits.

I know that if enough people get educated and begin to change their spending habits and the demand for real food that promotes real health increases, companies will change what they do. It’s happened in the past and it can happen again. Learn how to be healthy and then vote with your spending power.

Finding the Perfect Massage Therapist

Finding the Perfect Massage Therapist

Massage TherapyMassage is a popular therapy these days and becoming more and more so. It’s also becoming a popular profession and rightly so. It’s a great career choice and for the most part, it’s an enjoyable and rewarding job.

Because it is seen as a career with the potential to earn a good hourly rate, (and it’s become one of those ‘trendy’ occupations like being a Personal Trainer) there are many people making the decision to study massage and either get a job or go into business for themselves. The majority of those who decide to take up massage are women and that’s understandable because us gals are the nurturers and carers after all.

Unfortunately tho, from what I’ve seen, experienced and been told by many of my clients over the years, when you’re looking for a really good massage therapist, it’s kind of like trying to find a needle in a haystack! It’s like any profession – just because someone has studied and has a qualification, doesn’t mean that they’re any good at what they’re doing – that’s a fact and it goes for massage as much as it does for mechanics, plumbers, nurses, chefs or any other profession.

There are a few common problems that people run across when looking for a good massage therapist.

The first and probably most common problem is the ‘airy fairy’ massage. There seems to be many, many massage therapists (generally women) who seem to be under the impression that massage should be as vigorous as stroking a cat and for most people that’s not what they’re looking for in a massage. In all my years of massaging, I’ve only ever come across a couple of people who wanted very light massage and that was because their bodies were so inflamed and so toxic that their whole body was sore to touch or they find that massage makes them ill afterwards, as their body tries to process the toxins that are released from the tissues by the massage.

I think that part of the problem here (and I’m sorry girls but it’s true) is that some women just aren’t strong enough! I had suspected this might be the case, and then when I was working as a gym instructor, I realised that my suspicions were correct. Many women have very little physical strength. I was amazed at just how weak some women are! I’m blessed I guess with genetic strength that came from somewhere and I’ve always been quite strong. Having a bit of extra weight also helps I think when massaging!

The second problem found with massage therapists is the exact opposite! It’s often male massage therapists that are guilty of this, although some women also – too hard!!! Massage should be firm and everyone can handle different levels of firm. One of the qualities of an experienced massage therapist is to be able to judge just how firm for each person. I think that comes with time and experience and by paying attention.

Some male therapists, being men, just want to prove how strong they are and some just don’t realise how strong they are. But when someone is jumping, flinching and the butt cheeks are clenching – that could be a hint that the massage could be just a bit on the firm side! If you go for a massage and it’s too hard – say so. Don’t lie there in pain. It’s ok for massage to hurt if it’s a ‘good hurt’ but not when it’s pain.

I’ve had new clients who have been put off Deep Tissue massage because they’ve experienced a painful massage in the past that they were told was ‘deep tissue’ massage and believe that that’s what deep tissue massage is. It’s not! I repeat – massage should not generally be painful!

The last and probably the most serious problems with massage therapists are those who ignore their duty of care – performing techniques that  they shouldn’t such as ‘cracking’ necks, not taking the care to ensure that they can safely massage a new client, not listening to their client and also not considering their client’s modesty or respecting their right to ensure that they are professionally draped at all times to keep those parts of the body not being massaged, covered.

With regard to duty of care, massage therapist’s that ‘crack’ backs and necks in my view should be avoided. Unless they’ve had training in this area, I would give them a big miss. You could be damaged permanently by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing and the cracking of the spine or neck is not part of any massage course that I’ve ever seen!

I think that a big part of the problem with finding a good massage therapist lies in the fact that a lot of people study massage, get in to it, realise it’s harder work than they thought – or can’t get enough business because they can’t hang on to clients – and get back out of it again. So there’s lots of new massage therapists out there all the time and one of the main things that helps to create a good massage therapist is experience! Hands on massaging. It can’t be beaten. So there’s a hint when looking for a massage therapist – find one that’s been at it for a few years!

However, in saying that, I don’t want to put you off a newcomer to the massage industry. The newly qualified do have to be given a go, and some of course do a brilliant job and have a natural affinity for it. Seriously, don’t be put off by a recent qualification.

When you go for a massage for the first time, a good massage therapist should be filling in a form or at least asking you questions to ensure that you can be safely massaged. Ensuring that you’ve had no broken bones recently, no surgery, that you’re not pregnant, or that there is no other reason that you can not be massaged safely. Your health or well being should never be compromised.

So, when looking for the perfect massage therapist for you, it really is trial and error. Ask around, but realise that even if your best mate says that their massage therapist is awesome – you might disagree. It really is a very personal thing. Some people will love one therapist and some another. Just keep trying until you find the right one.

If you’re a massage therapist and reading this and you’re offended by some of what I say, I’d suggest taking a look at your client retention – that’s a hint. Generally you’ll find that people are too polite to tell you that your massage sucks – they just won’t come back. If you’re constantly having to advertise for new clients then there might just be something wrong – however if you have good client retention then you’re obviously doing something right!

Vaccine Zombie Video - This is great

Vaccine Zombie Video – This is great

I am a big fan of Mike Adams, the Health Ranger. He is very much on the same wavelength as I am with regard to health, drug companies and medicine. This is his latest addition in his efforts to get people to think about what they’re allowing to be done to them and to their children by vaccine manufacturers and to get people to question and think for themselves.

I think he’s done a great job of this and if you agree, share it as many people as possible. Share it on Facebook, tweet it on Twitter and bookmark it on social bookmarking sites. While it’s a funny video, it does have a serious message.

Is Genetically Modified food making us fat?

Is Genetically Modified food making us fat?

I personally avoid GM foods like the plague, but no doubt I still occasionally eat them – particularly when eating out. I’m so glad that I don’t live in the USA – the food supply there is riddled with GM ingredients and I really feel for the people who live there. This is a massive error in judgement made by individuals for the sake of greed.

One day it will come to an end. To make that happen, we have to get smart, get educated and get determined – to not buy or eat anything containing GM ingredients. That is the ONLY way that food manufacturers will change their ways and the only way that this madness will stop.

The revolving doors that are so blatantly obvious between the USA government and Monsanto need to have a wedge put in them to jam them up and that lovely wife of the USA president needs to sort out her man! They have no right to make a mess of our health, to prevent the health of our children and to make a mess of our planet.

It's only a Dog - A poem by Dennis Bone

It’s only a Dog – A poem by Dennis Bone

I was just going through my drawings that I’ve done over the past 20 years or so – they’re stacked up under the couch, for want of a better place to keep them flat. I’d actually forgotten they were there (Ray had been going through them yesterday and framed one of them).

Anyway, amongst them was this poem – I’d written it out by hand and had planned on framing it and putting it on the wall, but never got around to it (this was pre- computer days!). This poem really touched me when I first came across it, and it still does so here it is:

It’s Only a Dog

‘Oh, it’s only a dog’ I heard someone say,as a little dog died on a busy roadway.

It’s body crumpled and it’s fur all wet, and a little boy crying at the death of his pet.

Yet it’s only a possum or it’s only a bird, alas these words I have too often heard.

But man is a hunter or so he proclaims, and he kills all things with his unerring aim.

And he cares not a jot for the female bereft, as she watches her mate as his eyes close in death.

Man says that he’s master of all he surveys, and will kill his own kind to get his own way.

Man mines the mountains and cuts down the trees, pollutes all the rivers – even the seas.

An excuse for reward is all he will need, and he’ll pursue all things with relentless greed.

But time has a habit of creating change, and man must adapt or our chances will wane.

So please take heed of the darkening sky, and when the end comes, don’t ask why.

You did it youself with your selfish ways, and in the end we all have to pay.

God made the earth and left it in trust, and all we will leave is a planet of dust.

So what now Man, that you have conquered the earth, it’s been used and abused and robbed of it’s worth?

Will you seek elsewhere your talents to employ, there may be other planets that you can destroy.

Now it would seem, but I doubt you’ll agree, that God made a mistake when he made you and me.
