Ugly News From Canada... And, If The Law Passes, It Can Be Expected To Eventually Creep Our Way

Big Pharm would like to rule the world, it seems. Pharmaceutical monopoly just isn't enough. No, they'd like to be able to control access (read profit from) every aspect of healing, including the healing potentials of your kitchen herbs. Check out this story to see what they're up to now... trying to pass a law that uses a devious blend of criminalizing supplements and herbal remedies as they redefine the term sales and the application of forfeiture laws to wrest still more control of health and healing from the people to place in the hands of those hungry for still more profit.

Disgusting! Better buy seeds for secret gardens now... while you still can. Heritage seeds, those not contaminated by genetic alteration or neutered by those who prefer seeds to be bought every season, rather than saved from a portion of what was grown.

We Took It To Heart...


Relaxing in the sunshine... it sounded so good to us after shivering in NY for so long that we loaded up the crew -- children, dogs, cats, birds, and a turtle -- and headed for the sun. We've left chilly NY behind forever and have set up in the high desert plateaus along the frontera. And, here in this lovely rural spot (you can click the picture taken by my brother for a larger view of our gorgeous sunset), we've been investigating the local flora and fauna and have a wealth of information to share about natural remedies. Now that we've -- finally -- gotten home Internet again, we can return to blogging. Ah, what a joy!
