The Myth That You Don’t Need Supplements

 

This Documentary can be viewed online, without cost, but only until February 26th.

 

I viewed it last night. It is very good and may well help to increase your joy, energy and health.

 

I believe when we open up to our potential the world changes, dramatically and for the better. We can experience more joy, abundant energy and vibrant health and strength.

 

Enjoy the viewing.

 

First, some words from Dr. Mercola:

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“That Vitamin Movie,” created by award-winning producer and director Michael Beattie, features a long list of vitamin experts and health professionals in the complementary medicine field — including yours truly — discussing the healing potential of vitamins.

 

Beattie was inspired to make this film after Trevor, a close friend of three decades, told him he’d turned his life around; finally getting a handle on the depression that had plagued him. Removing sugar from his diet was the first step. Taking niacin (vitamin B3), was the second.

 

This tip was something Trevor had gleaned from watching the film, “Food Matters,” in which Andrew Saul, Ph.D. talks about the usefulness of niacin in the treatment of depression.

 

His curiosity peaked, Beattie then heard about cases of people being brought back from the brink of death with the use of high-dose vitamin C, and how many chronic diseases appear to be outgrowths of various nutrient deficiencies.

 

But if vitamins are so effective for treating disease, including mental disorders like depression, why aren’t doctors prescribing them instead of drugs? Together with Trevor, Beattie set out to investigate the truth of the matter. -Dr. Mercola

How About Fighting Off Almost All Diseases With Your Mind?

Staying warm in shorts in sub zero weather?

 

– The “Iceman” can sit in ice and keep his skin temperature constant

 

– This skill may prevent most diseases

 

– This evolutionary potential is in every human body

 

– We may have to rewrite the medical texts

 

The “Iceman”

That’s the nickname given to Wim Hof for his daredevil feats with cold

 

He has:

 

– Run a marathon barefoot and in shorts in minus 20 degrees Celsius,

 

– Climbed part way up Mount Everest wearing only boots and shorts.

 

– Set a Guinness World Record for sitting in ice for one hour, 52 minutes and 42 seconds…while his core temperature stayed the same.

 

 

 

Sitting in a tank full of ice for 90 minutes

Core Temperature remains the same

 

From Wikipedia:

 

” On 19 April 2012, an episode of the US television program Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, featuring Hof, was broadcast.

 

Hof was tested against a member of the team named Austin, both sitting in a tank full of ice. Austin sat in the tank for about 20 minutes, with his surface body temperature falling to four degrees Celsius.

 

When he got out of the water, the other two team members used a heat camera to reveal that his surface body temperature was at about four degrees Celsius.

 

Hof’s core body temperature stayed the same for the entire twenty minutes, as did his heart rate. He managed to stay submerged for over ninety minutes.” (My bolding)

 

 

 

 

We all have his ability, according to Hof

 

He thinks he has stumbled on hidden evolutionary potential locked inside every human body. He is teaching others how to do what he does.

 

 

 

 

Documentary shows the training

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw

 

 

 

 

 

Will We Have to Rewrite the Medical Texts?

 

Not just about daredevil stunts. This is about rewriting the medical books about what our human potential really is.

 

 

“Almost all the diseases, we are able to learn to prevent them from developing inside the body. Because we are able to have a connection inside which goes far deeper than ever thought…everybody is able…to have power over his own system.”                                                                                              -Wim Hof

 

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles

Here is a way to expand helping and create empowerment, joy and happiness in others…and yourself.

 

It has the added benefit of being inexpensive.

 

It is called Kiva, an organization that allows us in the developed world to make micro-loans to small scale entrepreneurs in many parts of the world.

 

You don’t actually give money away, you loan it and get repaid.

 

I have been doing this for a few years now. It feels good to know someone is lifting themselves up by their own bootstraps. All I do is provide some mini-capital to get their business moving.

 

They call it “Beyond Charity: Rethinking How We Give.”

 

Details here: https://www.kiva.org/about

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Learn more about how it works.

 

Since Kiva was founded in 2005:

 

1,387,615 Kiva lenders

$813,711,525 in loans

98.39% repayment rate

 

We work with:

 

303 Field Partners

450 volunteers around the world

84 different countries

 

Why we do what we do

 

We envision a world where all people – even in the most remote areas of the globe – hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others.

 

We believe providing safe, affordable access to capital to those in need helps people create better lives for themselves and their families.

How we do it

 

Making a loan on Kiva is so simple that you may not realize how much work goes on behind the scenes.

 

Kiva works with microfinance institutions on five continents to provide loans to people without access to traditional banking systems. One hundred percent of your loan is sent to these microfinance institutions, which we call Field Partners, who administer the loans in the field.

 

Kiva relies on a world wide network of over 450 volunteers who work with our Field Partners, edit and translate borrower stories, and ensure the smooth operation of countless other Kiva programs.

 

How we’re funded

 

100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes directly towards funding loans; Kiva does not take a cut. Furthermore, Kiva does not charge interest to our Field Partners, who administer the loans.

 

Kiva is primarily funded through the support of lenders making optional donations. We also raise funds through grants, corporate sponsors, and foundations.

 

We are incredibly thankful for the support that has enabled us to do the work that has touched the lives of so many people.

 

Learn more about our partnerships or make a donation.

Life coaches are popular these days…seems there are many of them to choose from.

 

But what about a Health Coach?

-Naturopaths have all the training that your General Practitioner has and more on top of that.

-Toxic food like sugar can FEEL good because of the adrenaline the body produces when it recognizes a toxin entering the system.

-Even top athletes have coaches

-A naturopath, like a sport coach, can often see what we are too close to see ourselves.

 

I decided I needed one, so I interviewed a few naturopaths.

 

Now, I had some experience with naturopaths before. When I had NSU (Non Specific Urethritis) it was a naturopath who helped me.

 

NSU is an inflammation of the water works…the urethra. I had it for 7 years. The symptoms would pop up every year and every year I went to a doctor.

 

On the seventh time, I asked what is this thing that keeps coming back. The answer from my doctor at the time was: “We think it is one of 7 different viruses. We’re not sure. Just come back every year for your antibiotic.

 

Hmph.

 

That did not seem like any kind of long term solution to me. What? You don’t know what it is? Just resign myself to having it and getting antibiotics every year?

 

That’s when I went to see Dr. Kirkbride in Nanaimo. He gave me some electric heat treatment and a herbal tea to drink. He diagnosed it as a “touch of nephritis.” That is inflammation of the kidneys.

 

It took some weeks, but the symptoms went away AND NEVER CAME BACK!

 

This was an ah hah moment. So regular medical system doctors don’t know everything, eh? Interest.

 

This event initiated a multi-decade and life long study of the many aspects of health.

 

It’s been a wonderful journey, with lots of dead-ends along with lots more ah-hah moments. And always with more to learn.

 

And even more to unlearn. So much of what is thought of as common sense, often I have found the opposite to be true.

 

Here is one example and it is a tricky one to navigate.

 

Some times I hear someone say things like: I just pay attention to my body. It gives me feedback.

 

That seems to make sense, doesn’t it?

 

Here’s the problem. If we take in toxins, sometimes it feels good.

 

The process goes something like this. Sugar is a good example. White sugar is a pure chemical C12 H22 O11. Pure chemical, not a food.

 

The history of sugar as outlined in William Dufty’s landmark work SUGAR BLUES from the 1970s. One thousand years ago, Arab doctor would use sugar as the most powerful medicine of last resort. When all else failed to cure a disease, they would administer 2-3 GRAINS of sugar and the patient would rally.

 

2-3 grains!

 

How much do we consume now? Well it used to be around a hundred pounds a year per capita 100 years ago. With the advent of the Big Gulp, we are now around 150 pounds per person per year.

 

How many grains of this powerful drug are we taking? Make no mistake. It IS a drug and a very potent one.

 

There is lots of research showing its detrimental effects. I am sure you have seen some of that…including the obesity epidemic and the cancer epidemic…for cancer feeds of sugar.

 

We know that intellectually. We know sugar is no good for us, yet we continue to take it.

 

Number one…it is addictive because it lands in the same landing spots in the brain as heroin.

 

But…and this is the point of why we need to careful about “paying attention to my body…

 

When a foreign substance of any sort, like sugar, enters the body, the body, in its wisdom, recognizes it as a toxin and sends what are called macrophages to attach, encircle and eliminate it from the body.

 

So far, so good? Well yes, EXCEPT during the process of the creation of macrophages, the body also produces adrenalin!

 

And what does adrenalin do? Among other things it makes us feel good. We have energy coursing through our system. Of course we feel good.

 

So, we take in a toxin, our body’s macrophages attack the toxin, we get a shot of adrenalin and we feel good. So, we make the conclusion that the toxin is good for us.

 

Can you see how our mind can be tricked in this way?

 

This is where a health coach can come in and give us unbiased and researched information.

 

I, for one, know about this, yet have still been consuming too much sugar.

 

My new health coach is a naturopath, Dr. Kevin Jackson. He is giving me info that I may have on the fringes of my thoughts. He is holding it in front of my face and encouraging me to take action that will have long term health benefits.

 

Naturopaths, by the way, have gone through the same medical training as allopathic doctors. They have the same rigorous training for the same number of years. Then they study further to see how to use non-invasive agents and therapies to produce a more healthful, energetic and vibrant result for their clients, without the use of toxic drugs.

 

Look, even the best athletes have coaches. Tiger Woods has a coach.

 

Why would we not want to do the same? Our long term health is the beneficiary.

There is a story about a man who decided to commit suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

 

He said to himself that is one person smiled at him on his way, he would change his mind. One person did and the man turned back.

 

Everyone has challenges in this life. We don’t know what burdens are being carried. Just a smile may brighten the life of that person walking toward you.

 

Do it for yourself first though.

 

One of the great secrets is that a smile creates endorphins, the feel good hormones.

 

We don’t have to have everything going well in our lives (when does it ever ALL go well?).

 

All we have to do is smile…the “duchesne” smile, where the corners of the eyes crinkle. That is enough to generate the feel good hormones and, guess what? We feel good.

 

The bonus, icing on the cake is that anyone who sees us may feel good as well. That is because of a phenomenon called “mirror neurons.”

 

When we see a smile, it brings up the same feeling in us and in the smiler.

 

Two reasons to smile:

 

1) It feels good, generates healing endorphins (yes, feel good hormones are healing) and

2) We might help ease someone else’s burden.

 

oh, and

3) You may get a smile back and that is a super bonus. Don’t expect it, but when it happens, it can warm the cockles of your heart.

PART ONE: A New Theory of Alzheimer’s Disease

 

As the boomers (including me) age, it is estimated that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) will ultimately affect one in four people. Currently there is considered to be no conventional medical cure for the condition, and even the current theory as to what causes it turns out to be debatable. Recently a friend (thanks Marten) sent me a link to a scientific study that could revolutionize how we look at Alzheimer’s disease, and ultimately how we can go about preventing and treating it.

Neat Stuff For My Greater Victoria Friends, Fiends And Roustabouts.

 

This Month:

 

– Really Great Olive Oil, Really Cheap

 

– Really Great Cell Phone Service, Really Cheap

 

– Really Great Choir Concert this Month, and

 

– Really Great Yogurt from a Comox Provider

 

And, if I say so myself, that is a Really Great Lineup of Articles, so dive right in,

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really Great Olive Oil, Really Cheap

 

Hermes Brand Olive Oil at the Persian Deli at the SE corner of Quadra and Reynolds. (If you are heading up Quadra towards McKenzie, it is on the right and Reynolds is the street you turn right on, it is the last street before McKenzie. )

 

$25.99 for 3 litres. This kind of quality I have seen for $31.99 for half a litre. ($191.94 for 3 litres!)

 

The devil is in the details. You can’t compare this oil with other so called olive oils.

 

“So called” because reports now indicate most olive oils, even ones labeled “extra virgin” and/or “organic,” are not even olive oil or only contain tiny amounts of real olive oil.

 

CBS 60 Minutes reported on this last Sunday and my Mastery Newsletter has a report on it this week: details here:

 

Is YOUR Olive Oil Real…or is it Mafia Oil? Mastery Newsletter January 6, 2016

http://joyenergyandhealth.com/2016/01/06/is-your-olive-oil-real-or-is-it-mafia-oil-mastery-newsletter-january-6-2016/

 

You can watch the 60 Minutes Expose on how the Mafia has infiltrated the olive oil business from farm to fork, as author Tom Mueller puts it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you have an event you want me to include, see the submission guidelines at the bottom

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really Great Cell Phone Service, Really Cheap

 

Public Mobile you won’t see advertised.

 

I was with PC Mobile from Superstore as it was the best I could find.

 

PC Mobile $39 a month:

500 minutes/month, unlimited international texting & 200MB Data

 

Public Mobile $30 a month

Unlimited BC wide calling, Canada wide texting, 333 MB Data.

Plus, I get $2 off per month for going on autopay.

 

Even though I have to pay about $100 to end my 2 year contract with PC Mobile, it still works out to a saving over the remainder of my contract.

 

(Calculations: PC Mobile $39 + BC taxes = $43.68/month

Public Mobile $28 + BC taxes = $31.36

 

Savings $12.32 a month x 12 months = $147.84 saving over next 12 months

 

Even paying out my PC Mobile contract, I save about $47 over the next 12 months and then $147.84 every year from then on)

 

A friend referred me to Public Mobile and he gets a referral fee of $1 off his monthly bill every month…as long as I stay with them.

 

Now, all I have to do is get 28 folks to sign up and my cell phone bill will be ZERO. Regardless $147.84 per year is $1,478.40 over the next decade.

 

Is It Worth It For You?

 

You would need to calculate it if you have expensive phone (mine is only $180) and you will have time on your contract.

 

If your contract is over, then you will save money.

 

By the way, you can pick and choose what you want in the way of services.

 

For example, if you add Canada wide calling it adds $16 a month to the bill.

 

But there is no need for that, as you can have free Canada and US calling with an app from Google Voice, inside your Gmail account.

 

If you add international texting it adds $6 a month.

 

For 1.3GB of data, it would cost you $40 a month ($38 if on autopay)

 

You can play with the options here: http://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans

 

Referral Reward

 

If you go for this, do let me know so I can get the referral fee.

 

Use my number when registering: 250-477-8608.

 

Postscript: CallingCards.ca is a great way to save huge amounts of money on international calls. (You don’t need it for Canada or the US as those calls are free with Google Voice.)

 

Example, calling to cell phones in Europe is ridiculously expensive. Skype charges 10 cents a minute to UK mobiles and 20.8 cents for Finland.

 

Calling Card.ca is 3 cents UK and 4.7 cents Finland. Similar savings across the board.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really Great Choir Concert in January

 

Gettin’ Higher Choir in support of the Power of Hope

Often cheap seed oils like sunflower are used to make fraudulent olive oil.

Up to 75 to 80% of oil labeled as Extra Virgin in the U.S. is not the real thing.

The “Agro Mafia” is making many times the profit on fake olive oil than on cocaine.

 

You first heard about this in Mastery Newsletter in March of 2014.

Now, CBS 60 Minutes program has reported on this travesty.

http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/agromafia/

 

Here is my Special Report on this. You can get the really good olive oil and it is not always expensive. See the end of the report for Victoria sources.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Your “Olive Oil” May Be Poisoning You…

 

Most “Extra Virgin” Olive Oil is Not Even Olive Oil

 

 

You buy “extra virgin” olive oil because you believe it’s healthy.

 

69% of the time, you could be buying something else.

 

Something that is “rancid, fusty and musty.”

 

Something that could be mostly soybean oil or peanut oil or canola oil or sunflower oil or any of a number of other cheaper oils.

 

In the well researched book Extra Virginity, The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller points out that 69% of olive oil that is labeled “extra virgin” is not olive oil at all.

69% of Olive Oils Had…Flaws

 

“A recent survey of supermarket extra virgins performed by the UC Davis Olive Center, in cooperation with the Australian Oil Research Laboratory, revealed that 69 percent of oils tested had taste flaws such as rancid, fusty, and musty, which meant that they weren’t extra virgin oils at all, and had been mislabeled…similar findings were reached by Andreas Maerz in Germany, by CHOICE magazine in Australia, by the regional government of Andalucia, and by documentaries in Swiss and German television about extra virgin quality in those countries…Paul Vossen, a University of California oil specialist (says)…’I would say very seldom do we ever find one that passes as extra virgin…price is by no means an indicator of quality…The high-ticket items can be equally bad.’…

 

Market Awash in Counterfeit Oils

 

Mike Bradley concludes that ‘the market is awash in counterfeit olive oil to the point that most legitimate sellers have given up trying to sell the real thing to wholesale suppliers or restaurants. It is rare to find authentic extra virgin olive oil…even in fine restaurants that ought to know better. It’s nearly impossible in some localities…’”

 

More Money in Adulterating Olive Oil Than (there was) in Bootlegging

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“there is more profit in adulterating olive oil than there is in bootlegging. The practice of adulterating this oil has grown until it has become a menace to the honest importers in the trade.” –US Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland speaking in 1922, two years into prohibition.

 

 

 

Systematic Corruption of the Olive Oil Market Continues to This Day

 

Over a number of years, Mueller’s research for the book took him all over the olive oil world, to Italy, Spain, Greece, and to the new world producers in California, South America and Australia.

 

What he found was a systematically corrupt network of growers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers that has made the term “extra virgin” useless. Even the term “organic” is no guarantee that you and I are getting the real deal.

 

Good News: Healthy Olive Oil IS Available

 

There is a strong and vibrant movement underway of growers and retailers who care about the quality of the olive oil they produce and sell.

 

It IS possible to buy real olive oil and receive the anti oxidant and anti inflammatory qualities olive oil is recognized for.

 

The Bad News: Good Olive Oil Stings

 

“If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol.” (my bolding) If you are used to bland olive oils, the real deal may take some getting used to. The substances that give rise to the health benefits make olive oil bitter and sting at the back of the throat. If it stings to the point of coughing, even better.

 

More Good News: The Health Benefits are Awesome

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“ ‘A low incidence of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and certain kinds of cancer (my bolding)—these are among the central benefits attributed to the Mediterranean diet,’ says Gary Beauchamp. ‘Since the 1950s, people have accepted that olive oil, the main source of fat in this diet, is the keystone of the dietary regime.’ Some of olive oil’s positive effects stem from its monounsaturated fat profile, but, more and more, medical research suggests that the polyphenols and the other ‘minor components’ of olive oil, which constitute a scant 2 percent of its volume, are the main source of oil’s health benefits. These same substances give a high-quality olive oil its pepperiness, bitterness, and other prized sensory properties; in fact, the oil’s healthful benefits are directly proportional to the strength of its flavors, aromas, and other sensory characteristics. If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol. if it isn’t bitter, it’s low in tocopherol and squalene. If it isn’t velvety in texture, then it’s missing hydroxytyrosol.”

 

Sources for the Good Stuff and Not All is Expensive!

Transcript for those without computers:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

California Olive Ranch – good fresh extra virgin olive oil, mainly from the arbequina and arbosana cultivars, grown in super high density groves in northern California. Available at a wide range of stores throughout the US (see the store locator).  Note that their Limited Reserve is the highest-quality oil, unfiltered and from olives picked during the first 2 weeks of harvest (reviewed here).  “Everyday” is the company’s best-seller, with a flexible flavor profile.  Arbequina, Arbosana, and Miller’s Blend oils, part of the company’s “gold medal series,” have actually won more medals in olive oil competitions than COR’s other oils, thanks to their distinct flavor profiles.

• Cobram Estate – extra virgin olive oil from a range of cultivars, grown in Australia with the medium high density agronomic model, which has won olive oil competitions including best of show at the 2011 Los Angeles County Fair. Available here:
• USA:
• Cost Plus World Markets nationally
• Raley’s and Save Mart in northern California
• Fairway in New York
• QFC and Haggen in Seattle
• King Soopers in Denver
• Canada:
• IGA stores in Vancouver
• Corto Olive – good, fresh super-high-density arbequina oil available at Costco (occasionally), HEB, Zabar’s under the Zabar’s label, Kroger as a specialty label called “Private Selection.” I profile Dino Cortopassi, founder of the company, in Extra Virginity.
• Costco Kirkland Toscano – Kirkland is the Costco store brand. I’ve been disappointed by Kirkland Organic EVO (not to mention the “extra virgins” in multi-liter plastic jugs), but the Toscano signature oil is the real deal.
• Lucini – a wide range of fine oils, led by the top-of-the-line Limited Reserve Premium Select oil. I quibble with the clear glass bottles, which impair the shelf life, but as long as the oil is fresh it’s first-rate, and is widely available across North America. See the store locator.  Lucini Premium Select is their finest oil, made on a a single estate near Bolgheri, in the Maremma region of Tuscany.  Their Estate Select oil is made from olives grown in various estates in central Italy; since it’s sourced from a wider group of farmers, it costs less.  
• Oleoestepa – just entering the US retail market, this Spanish cooperative produces excellent oils at competitive prices. Keep an eye out for their oils arriving in shelves near you soon!
• O-Live – available at stores across Canada, and in selected US stores (including HEB in Texas). See the store locator (which sources tell me isn’t always 100% reliable).
• Ottavioand Omaggio – in terms of value for money, I don’t know better oils than Ottavio and Omaggio: a fine balance of fruit, pungency, bitterness that will appeal to a wide audience, at rock-bottom prices. Ottavio is available at HEB and Central Market, and Omaggio is available at Sam’s Club. (Note: In the past, Valco Enterprises, producer of Ottavio, and Axiom Enterprises, producer of Omaggio, have both supported Truth in Olive Oil. Read here for what this means.)
• Trader Joe’s– 3 out of the 6 extra virgin oils I tasted in August, 2013 were the real deal.  One of these, the Premium 100% Greek Kalamata, was very fresh, spicy, complex at an extremely competitive price (1 liter for $8.99).  The California Estate Olive Oil was also a good choice, while the Premium Extra Virgin was decent and defect-free, if a bit uninspiring. The 3 other Trader Joe’s “extra virgins” I tasted were defective. (See here for details.)
• Whole Foods California 365 – The Whole Foods store brand from California is good-quality extra virgin olive oil at a great price. In my experience, the other members of the 365 lineup are poor – an odd situation from a company like Whole Foods that preaches quality über alles.

As mentioned above, there are likely to be many more good supermarket oils not included in this list. Please suggest some, and I’ll try them out as soon as I can.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Disappointment AND Excitement

• Corruption of the olive oil market is disappointing. I felt like the carpet was being pulled from under me as I read Mueller’s book. At the same time, it is inspiring to hear of the many producers whose hearts are in the right place. It means that you and I, armed with this new information, can go out and get the real stuff. We can throw out the old and start getting some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
• Olive Oil is Anti-Inflammatory AND Anti-Oxidant
• As you may know, inflammation is said to be at the root of all dis-ease. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory.
• The “bad cholesterol” is only bad if it is oxidized. (My doctor, James Houston here in Victoria, agreed with me when I told him that). Olive oil, the real deal good stuff, is an anti-oxidant,
• So good olive oil may protect against all dis-ease and against the effects of the ‘bad’ cholesterol.
• Your Mission Should You Decide to Accept
• If your current olive oil doesn’t have that pepperiness at the back of the throat, it doesn’t have the oleocanthol.
• If your current olive oil isn’t bitter, it’s low in other healthy ingredients, namely tocopherol and squalene.
• And if it isn’t velvety in texture, that indicates there is no hydroxytyrosol in the oil.
• And if it has none of those, it may not be olive oil at all but any of a number of unhealthy and damaging vegetable oils.
• Is it time to throw it out then and find a source for the real stuff?
• I will leave it to your good judgement.
• Love, Laughter and Smiles.
• Matti Anttila
• S. Good olive oil is “worth its weight in gold” as the saying goes. In my opinion, it is far more worthy than gold. Good health and great energy far outweigh material riches. You can always make money IF you have your health and your energy. But if you don’t have your health, money means nothing.
• Therefore, I choose to pay the price for the real stuff. You wouldn’t put 50 octane gasoline into your car. Why would you put “50 octane or less” fuel into your body? Throw out the old stuff and get the real deal. You and your body deserve it.
• If you are in Victoria, a great source is “Olive the Senses.” http://olivethesenses.com They are in The Hudson at 1701 Douglas Street. 250.882.4210.
• Also: Save On Foods carries O-Live brand. Last price check $14.99 for a litre.
• Update November 2015: Hermes Brand available from the Persian deli on Quadra just down from McKenzie. Cost $25.99 for 3 litres. Have not had it tested, but it has the taste qualities that Mueller talks about. (Thanks to Gene)

“Remember, misery is comfortable. It’s why so many people prefer it. Happiness takes effort.”

 

That quote from a powerful article called:

 

Six harsh truths which will make you a better person

 

It IS tough reading. However, it seems as if it CAN make me a better person. Nails me to the wall, kinda.

 

See if you find yourself squirming while reading it. That’s probably a good sign.

 

These are the Six Points:

 

6. The world only cares about what it can get from you
7. The hippies were wrong
8. What you produce does not have to make money, but it does have to benefit people
9. You hate yourself because you don’t do anything
10. What you are inside only matters because of what it makes you do
11. Everything inside you will fight improvement

 

 

Main Lesson I got from this:

 

We need to be DOING something and that something needs to benefit others.

 

Great treasures and great joy flow from that. The more we benefit others, the more treasures and joy we will have.

 

Enjoy the uncomfortable read. 😉

 

http://brightside.me/article/six-harsh-truths-which-will-make-you-a-better-person-13555/?platform=hootsuite

 

In keeping with the point of the article, I wish you the energy, drive and enthusiasm to Create a Joyous 2016.

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

 

 

Matti

50 Interesting Facts About Christmas

My faves:

* Santa is the patron saint of banking, pawnbroking, pirating, butchery, sailing, thievery, orphans, royalty, and New York City.^d

^* Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.^a

 

Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph’s red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.g The Germans made the first artificial Christmas trees out of dyed goose feathers.f Each year more than 3 billion Christmas cards are sent in the U.S. alone.f All the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas would equal 364 gifts.f The “true love” mentioned in the song “Twelve Days of Christmas” does not refer to a romantic couple, but the Catholic Church’s code for God. The person who receives the gifts represents someone who has accepted that code. For example, the “partridge in a pear tree” represents Christ. The “two turtledoves” represent the Old and New Testaments.c A parasitic infection may be the cause of Rudolph’s red nose Most of Santa’s reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Blitzen, Comet, and Cupid. However, male reindeers shed their antlers around Christmas, so the reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh are likely not male, but female or castrati.g In A.D. 350, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birthday of Christ.c According to the Guinness world records, the tallest Christmas tree ever cut was a 221-foot Douglas fir that was displayed in 1950 at the Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle, Washington.e The traditional three colors of Christmas are green, red, and gold. Green has long been a symbol of life and rebirth; red symbolizes the blood of Christ, and gold represents light as well as wealth and royalty.c Two weeks before Christmas is a popular time for couples to break up According to data analyzed from Facebook posts, two weeks before Christmas is one of the two most popular times for couples to break up. However, Christmas Day is the least favorite day for breakups.i Contrary to popular belief, suicide rates during the Christmas holiday are low. The highest rates are during the spring.h The world’s largest Christmas stocking measured 106 feet and 9 inches (32.56 m) long and 49 feet and 1 inch (14.97 m) wide. It weighed as much as five reindeer and held almost 1,000 presents. It was made by the Children’s Society in London on December 14, 2007.e Christmas trees have been sold in the U.S. since 1850.b Christmas trees usually grow for about 15 years before they are sold.b Many European countries believed that spirits, both good and evil, were active during the Twelve Days of Christmas. These spirits eventually evolved into Santa’s elves, especially under the influence of Clement C. Moore’s The Night Before Christmas (1779-1863) illustrated by Thomas Nast (1840-1902).f Each year there are approximately 20,000 “rent-a-Santas” across the United States. “Rent-a-Santas” usually undergo seasonal training on how to maintain a jolly attitude under pressure from the public. They also receive practical advice, such as not accepting money from parents while children are looking and avoiding garlic, onions, or beans for lunch.f Bolivians celebrate Misa del Gallo or “Mass of the Rooster” on Christmas Eve. Some people bring roosters to the midnight mass, a gesture that symbolizes the belief that a rooster was the first animal to announce the birth of Jesus.f The British wear paper crowns while they eat Christmas dinner. The crowns are stored in a tube called a “Christmas cracker.”f In Poland, spiders or spider webs are common Christmas trees decorations because according to legend, a spider wove a blanket for Baby Jesus. In fact, Polish people consider spiders to be symbols of goodness and prosperity at Christmas.f Alabama was the first state in the United States to officially recognize Christmas in 1836.f Oklahoma was the last state the declare Christmas a holiday Christmas wasn’t declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.c Oklahoma was the last U.S. state to declare Christmas a legal holiday, in 1907.f Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.a Ancient peoples, such as the Druids, considered mistletoe sacred because it remains green and bears fruit during the winter when all other plants appear to die. Druids would cut the plant with golden sickles and never let it touch the ground. They thought it had the power to cure infertility and nervous diseases and to ward off evil.a Evergreens (from the Old English word aefie meaning “always” and gowan meaning “to grow”) have been symbols of eternal life and rebirth since ancient times. The pagan use and worship of evergreen boughs and trees has evolved into the Christianized Christmas tree.a Because they viewed Christmas as a decadent Catholic holiday, the Puritans in America banned all Christmas celebrations from 1659-1681 with a penalty of five shillings for each offense. Some Puritan leaders condemned those who favored Christmas as enemies of the Christian religion.c A Yule log is an enormous log that is typically burned during the Twelve Days of Christmas (December 25-January 6). Some scholars suggest that the word yule means “revolution” or “wheel,” which symbolizes the cyclical return of the sun. A burning log or its charred remains is said to offer health, fertility, and luck as well as the ability to ward off evil spirits.d Because of their pagan associations, both the holly (associated with the masculine principle) and the ivy (the feminine) and other green boughs in home decoration were banned by the sixth-century Christian Council of Braga.a The poinsettia is native to Mexico and was cultivated by the Aztecs, who called the plant Cuetlaxochitl (“flower which wilts”). For the Aztecs, the plant’s brilliant red color symbolized purity, and they often used it medicinally to reduce fever. Contrary to popular belief, the poinsettia is not poisonous, but holly berries are.f Christmas has its roots in pagan festivals such as Saturnalia (December 17-December 23), the Kalends (January 1 -5, the precursor to the Twelve Days of Christmas), and Deus Sol Invictus or Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun (December 25). The Christian church heartily disapproved of such celebrations and co-opted the pagans by declaring December 25 as Christ’s day of birth, though there is no evidence Christ was born on that day.f Santa Claus is based on a fourth-century bishop from modern-day Turkey Santa Claus is based on a real person, St. Nikolas of Myra (also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker, Bishop Saint Nicholas of Smyrna, and Nikolaos of Bari), who lived during the fourth century. Born in Patara (in modern-day Turkey), he is the world’s most popular non-Biblical saint, and artists have portrayed him more often than any other saint except Mary. He is the patron saint of banking, pawnbroking, pirating, butchery, sailing, thievery, orphans, royalty, and New York City.d Early illustrations of St. Nicholas depict him as stern, commanding, and holding a birch rod. He was more a symbol of discipline and punishment than the jolly, overweight elf children know today.d Puritan Oliver Cromwell outlawed Christmas celebrations and carols in England from 1649-1660. The only celebrations allowed were sermons and prayers.c Wassail is from the Old Norse ves heill, meaning “good health.”c Christmas stockings allegedly evolved from three sisters who were too poor to afford a marriage dowry and were, therefore, doomed to a life of prostitution. They were saved, however, when the wealthy Bishop Saint Nicholas of Smyrna (the precursor to Santa Claus) crept down their chimney and generously filled their stockings with gold coins.c There are two competing claims as to which president was the first to place a Christmas tree in the White House. Some scholars say President Franklin Pierce did in 1856; others say President Benjamin Harrison brought in the first tree in 1889. President Coolidge started the White House lighting ceremony in 1923.f President Teddy Roosevelt, an environmentalist, banned Christmas trees from the White House in 1901.f It is estimated that the single “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin is the best selling single of all time, with over 100 million sales worldwide.f There are approximately 21,000 Christmas tree farms in the United States. In 2008, nearly 45 million Christmas trees were planted, adding to the existing 400 million trees.b The first lighted Christmas tree can be traced to Martin Luther The first person to decorate a Christmas tree was reportedly the Protestant reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546). According to legend, he was so moved by the beauty of the stars shining between the branches of a fir tree, he brought home an evergreen tree and decorated it with candles to share the image with his children.f The first printed reference to a Christmas tree was in 1531 in Germany.f Approximately 30-35 million real (living) Christmas trees are sold each year in the U.S.b Christmas is a contraction of “Christ’s Mass,” which is derived from the Old English Cristes mæsse (first recorded in 1038). The letter “X” in Greek is the first letter of Christ, and “Xmas” has been used as an abbreviation for Christmas since the mid 1500s.c In 1962, the first Christmas postage stamp was issued in the United States.f In Germany, Heiligabend, or Christmas Eve, is said to be a magical time when the pure in heart can hear animals talking.f The Viking god Odin is one precursor to the modern Santa Claus. According to myth, Odin rode his flying horse, Sleipnir (a precursor to Santa’s reindeer), who had eight legs. In the winter, Odin gave out both gifts and punishments, and children would fill their boots or stockings with treats for Sleipnir.d The earliest known Christmas tree decorations were apples. At Christmastime, medieval actors would use apples to decorate paradise trees (usually fir trees) during “Paradise Plays,” which were plays depicting Adam and Eve’s creation and fall.d Commissioned by Sir Henry Cole (1808-1883), British illustrator John Callcott Horsley (1817-1903) invented the first Christmas card in 1843.f According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), there are 2,106 million children under age 18 in the world. If there are on average 2.5 children per household, Santa would have to make 842 million stops on Christmas Eve, traveling 221 million miles. To reach all 842 million stops, Santa would need to travel between houses in 2/10,000 second, which means he would need to accelerate 12.19 million miles (20.5 billion meters) per second on each stop. The force of this acceleration would reduce Santa to “chunky salsa.”g Christmas purchases account for 1/6 of all retail sales in the U.S.f

How to Become Fearless

Unravelling the Root of Our

Conditioning/Programming/Brainwashing

 

Fear is the way the “Powers That Be” control us.

 

As long as we are in fear, we are disconnected from the source of our power.

 

Love is our power. Fear is the illusion that we are not pure love.

 

We ARE pure love. When we are triggered to believe/sense/experience fear, we can buy into the illusion that we are not powerful. Then, it is easy for the “Powers That Be” to manipulate us.

What are the “Power That Be?”

 

Could be governments who want to maintain their grip on power, could be corporations that want to sell us “stuff.”

 

If we believe terrorists are going to kill us and are fearful of that, how much easier is it for governments to sell us on the idea of giving up our liberties in order to have “security?”

 

If we have a deep seated insecurity (even and especially unconsciously) corporations can sell us “stuff” that they claim will make us feel more secure.

 

Examples abound.

 

If you make more money, you may have financial security.

 

If you live in the right neighbourhood, you may feel less threatened by crime.

 

If you buy this cream, you can cover up the zits that make you feel ugly.

 

The female beauty industry thrives on manipulating women to not love their bodies and thereby make Billions in sales of “Stuff.” Exercise programs, diets, beauty creams galore, botox, surgery…the list seems endless.

 

All because the Powers That Be found a way to disrupt our sense of self-love that allows us to view ourselves as the gorgeous, beautiful beings that we are.

 

 

 

How is the fear installed in us?

 

By shaking up and disrupting the first energy centre or “Chakra.”

 

“Located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor, and the first three vertebrae, the root chakra is responsible for your sense of safety and security on this earthly journey.”

 

Once we no longer feel safe and secure in the world, it is so much easier for the Manipulators to do their job on us.

 

 

 

Solution?

 

Correct the imbalances in the first energy centre.

 

Get the sense of safety and security back. Then our view of the world can be more clear and we can live in the love and power that is our birthright.

 

Make no mistake. The Powers That Be, the Manipulators can and will and are moving heaven and earth to prevent that.

 

This sense of safety and security is a foundation for our personal development and is critical to fill our lives with contribution to others and to deeper meaning in life.

 

 

 

Here is How to Correct the Imbalances:

The Mystic across history has celebrated the unknown.

Dancing in ecstatic Love under a blanket of stars, the Mystic sees in

Mastery Newsletter Dec.9, 2015

 

Another wonderful year drawing to a close. What lessons has 2015 brought? That is the question I like to reflect on at this time of the year.

 

☼ The importance of connection. Staying in touch with family, with friends supports and nourishes my health.

 

☼ Laughter and chanting are great ways to be more intimate with others.

 

☼ Daily laughter of 10-15 minutes is a great preventive of stress and stress release also.

 

☼ Stress is insidious. It lurks in us all in modern society.

 

☼ EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is a great process for release of subconscious beliefs. It needs to be used regularly as deeper and deeper layers come to the surface.

 

☼ Asking the subconscious to release stress through afformations works well. AFFORMATIONS by Noah St. John is the book.

 

☼ Trauma Release through trembling works well. Again, needs regular practice. THE REVOLUTIONARY TRAUMA RELEASE PROCESS by David Berceli.

 

☼ Regular Yoga practice is a delight and useful. Just 10 minutes a day is great release.

 

☼ Meditation daily, even 10 minutes, works well.

 

☼ Keeping a regular schedule is useful for keeping elimination regular.

 

☼ Posture work from Esther Gokhale’s wonderful work 8 STEPS TO A PAIN-FREE BACK is just awesome and empowering.

 

☼ I need a health coach, at least one. Interviewing naturopaths over the next few weeks to see who I can work with as my primary health care provider. Though I will have to pay for the service, my health is worth it.

 

☼ My doctor is retiring, so I will have to search for a new allopathic doctor.

 

☼ Thankful, deeply thankful, for only having a few health issues and nothing major. Still, it is important to nip them in the bud so they don’t develop further.

 

☼ Intuition is important to listen to.

 

☼ Dream journaling could be quite valuable. Ray Davies of the Kinks rock group said that was and is how he writes his songs. He works at remembering his dream, staying in that state as long as possible when waking. That has produced some of the best rock songs.

 

☼ Energy work is available to us all. Just placing my hands on my stomach and thanking for healing my stomach and digestive system has fully eased any symptoms of my acid reflux. (Knock on wood)

 

☼ Hearing is critical. My new (cheap) hearing aid has created more clarity.

 

☼ The energy work and visualization has so far kept my eyes so I do not yet need reading glasses. Yay!

 

☼ The life I am leading is absolutely perfect as it is right now. I still continue to reach for more goals and my real challenge is fully appreciating all my blessings in this moment.

 

☼ I know movie makers manipulate my emotions. I don’t care. I love to laugh and cry in the same movie.

 

☼ Early to sleep is a challenge, but so worth it. It allows me to get up earlier as I am most productive in the morning.

 

☼ Nature never hurries, but everything gets done.

 

☼ I love to study and am devoting more time to it.

 

☼ Need to focus on making more income…sooner rather than later. I have some goals that need extra income. (Reaching for the stars)

 

☼ Important to release doing stuff that does not serve me, either in reaching goals or in having fun.

 

☼ Enjoying Toastmasters and learning from the process.

 

☼ NATUROPATHIC ONCOLOGY is a great work by naturopath Dr. Neil McKinney. Not only does it provide scientifically based info on dealing with cancer, but also great prevention strategies for cancer and all diseases.

 

☼ THE WAHLS PROTOCOL by Dr. Terry Wahls and PERFECT HEALTH DIET by Paul Jaminet and Shou-Ching Jaminet are the two health diet books that had have the most impact this year.

 

☼ TAPPING INTO WEALTH by Margaret Lynch is my introduction to EFT and having great fun with it.

 

☼ HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY by my friend Kressa Kristina Sisu is a great way to keep on track.

 

☼ There is lots of support available. My friend Fred and I meet weekly on Skype and in person once a month to check in on each others progress. It is kind of like a brainstorming session and also a Master Mind session. Valuable as it is easy for me not to see some issues because I am so close to it. Always learn something about myself each time.

 

☼ Providing positive input and gentle suggestions on improvement works a lot better than criticism. Toastmasters meetings are great at this.

 

☼ Good sleep is critical. It is also one of the easiest things to skimp on. Need it more as I age.

 

Wow. What a list, I just realize. I can come back and view this whenever I think I am moving too slowly. Thank you for being there to write for. Makes all the difference.

 

Happy Christmas and may 2016 be your most joyous year ever!!!

 

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles.

Matti

P.S. What’s the catch, you may wonder. There doesn’t seem to be any. My experience has been great. No fees and no minimums to keep it open either. In fact, I have not used the account for a long time and it stayed open with just $1 or so in the account.

 

So, if you have no interest in having the account, you could just open it with $100 using my Referral Key and when they add your $50 bonus, you could take it all out, leaving just $1 to keep it open for future. You know, just in case you find a use for it…like transferring money between different banks. Works well for that.

 

They also have a no fee chequing account. I got one. Have not used it yet.

 

P.S. #2. Oh, almost forgot, I am going to sign up for their Mastercard. You can choose 3 different categories of spending and get 2% cash back on all those categories. My current Mastercard gives me 1% and I know American Express has a card that give 1.25% (or was it 1.5%?) At any rate, that is the most generous cash back card I have seen. They give 1% cash back on all other purchases.

 

I do like to receive money. (How about you?). With my current Mastercard, every once in a while I get a $50 cheque in the mail. Sweet. I am looking forward to Tangerine Mastercard depositing money into my account monthly, just for buying with their Mastercard. Sweeter. 🙂

 

So, to wrap up, Tangerine Bank will give you $50 or $75 cash bonus for signing up. Then they will give you 2% back on Tangerine Mastercard. Though the card is not necessary.

 

All the fine print is on their website, if you need it. Not too much. I read it, so you will able to as well. 🙂

 

Claim your $50 now: https://www.tangerine.ca/en/referafriend/index.html. Enter my Referral Key, 15772491S1, and enjoy your windfall.

 

 

P.S. #3. Until December 31, 2015 only for this offer.

 

P.S. #4: Hmm. Just thinking. What is stopping you from also referring clients and making some $50 referral bonuses for yourself. A few of those may come in handy for “seasonal shopping” or even just treat yourself to a massage or something special at this time of year. Hmm.

I think you have to have an account to do that though. So get one now. https://www.tangerine.ca/en/referafriend/index.html. Enter my Referral Key, 15772491S1, and enjoy your windfall.

You Were Born for a Reason.

 

Are You Doing What You (and Only You) Were Born to do?

 

From Stephen Pressfield’s The War of Art:

 

“The Artists Life

 

 

Are you a born writer? Were you put on this earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? In the end the question can only be answered by action.

 

 

Do it or don’t do it.

 

 

It may help to think of it this way. If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don’t do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet.

 

 

You shame the angels who watch over you and you spite the Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the whole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along its path back to God.

 

 

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you got.”

 

 

–Steven Pressfield in The War of Art. Pressfield is also the author of The Legend of Bagger Vance.

 

 

 

Commentary: Pressfield says that when you do not do what you were meant to do, you hurt yourself and even destroy yourself.

 

 

There are countless examples now of people with dis-eases who have healed when they got into action and starting doing things.

 

 

Who cares if the first things you do are not precisely what your “mission” is on the planet.

 

 

You can spend a lifetime navel-gazing trying to figure out what you were “meant to do.”

 

 

Just get into action. Do something. Follow your intuition. Try something. Listen to the feedback, i.e. what does it feel like? What is your gut telling you?

 

 

As long as you are serving with good intention and open heart, it is unlikely you will damage anyone, AND

 

 

It is likely that you will feel better having been of service.

 

 

Putting our focus on helping others helps us to heal whatever “dis-eases” we may be fomenting.

 

 

There is a saying: “If you feel down, go make someone else happy.”

 

 

This year, instead of making “New Year’s Resolutions,” why not ways to “stop hurting the planet and shaming the angels.” We can do that by taking action, listening to our intuition and continuing to move forward on our “mission.”

 

 

Here is a solid idea to implement. Buy a $50 voice recorder. Carry it with you. Whenever an idea comes up, record it right away so you won’t forget. Have it by your bedside so as you drift off to sleep and wake up from sleep and those ideas bubble up from your inner self, you can capture them.

 

 

Then, implement them! Intuition strengthens when you actually use the ideas. Conversely, intuition stops giving you ideas if you never use them.

 

 

 

Love, Laughter and Smiles

 

 

Matti

(This is an update of a Special Report on the shenanigans behind the production of olive oil. How very little of what is supposed to be “extra virgin,” “organic” and so on is even olive oil. According to author and researcher Tom Mueller, this is costing you in terms of your health. To get  the well known health aspects of the Mediterranean Diet, you actually have to have REAL olive oil. Chances are good you are NOT getting real olive oil.)

Your “Olive Oil” May Be Poisoning You…

Most “Extra Virgin” Olive Oil is Not Even Olive Oil

 

You buy “extra virgin” olive oil because you believe it’s healthy.

 

69% of the time, you could be buying something else.

 

Something that is “rancid, fusty and musty.”

 

Something that could be mostly soybean oil or peanut oil or canola oil or sunflower oil or any of a number of other cheaper oils.

 

In the well researched book Extra Virginity, The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller points out that 69% of olive oil that is labeled “extra virgin” is not olive oil at all.

69% of Olive Oils Had…Flaws

 

“A recent survey of supermarket extra virgins performed by the UC Davis Olive Center, in cooperation with the Australian Oil Research Laboratory, revealed that 69 percent of oils tested had taste flaws such as rancid, fusty, and musty, which meant that they weren’t extra virgin oils at all, and had been mislabeled…similar findings were reached by Andreas Maerz in Germany, by CHOICE magazine in Australia, by the regional government of Andalucia, and by documentaries in Swiss and German television about extra virgin quality in those countries…Paul Vossen, a University of California oil specialist (says)…’I would say very seldom do we ever find one that passes as extra virgin…price is by no means an indicator of quality…The high-ticket items can be equally bad.’…

 

Market Awash in Counterfeit Oils

 

Mike Bradley concludes that ‘the market is awash in counterfeit olive oil to the point that most legitimate sellers have given up trying to sell the real thing to wholesale suppliers or restaurants. It is rare to find authentic extra virgin olive oil…even in fine restaurants that ought to know better. It’s nearly impossible in some localities…’”

 

More Money in Adulterating Olive Oil Than (there was) in Bootlegging

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“there is more profit in adulterating olive oil than there is in bootlegging. The practice of adulterating this oil has grown until it has become a menace to the honest importers in the trade.” –US Health Commissioner Royal S. Copeland speaking in 1922, two years into prohibition.

 

 

 

Systematic Corruption of the Olive Oil Market Continues to This Day

 

Over a number of years, Mueller’s research for the book took him all over the olive oil world, to Italy, Spain, Greece, and to the new world producers in California, South America and Australia.

 

What he found was a systematically corrupt network of growers, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers that has made the term “extra virgin” useless. Even the term “organic” is no guarantee that you and I are getting the real deal.

 

Good News: Healthy Olive Oil IS Available

 

There is a strong and vibrant movement underway of growers and retailers who care about the quality of the olive oil they produce and sell.

 

It IS possible to buy real olive oil and receive the anti oxidant and anti inflammatory qualities olive oil is recognized for.

 

The Bad News: Good Olive Oil Stings

 

“If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol.” (my bolding) If you are used to bland olive oils, the real deal may take some getting used to. The substances that give rise to the health benefits make olive oil bitter and sting at the back of the throat. If it stings to the point of coughing, even better.

 

More Good News: The Health Benefits are Awesome

 

From Mueller’s book again:

 

“ ‘A low incidence of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and certain kinds of cancer (my bo lding)—these are among the central benefits attributed to the Mediterranean diet,’ says Gary Beauchamp. ‘Since the 1950s, people have accepted that olive oil, the main source of fat in this diet, is the keystone of the dietary regime.’ Some of olive oil’s positive effects stem from its monounsaturated fat profile, but, more and more, medical research suggests that the polyphenols and the other ‘minor components’ of olive oil, which constitute a scant 2 percent of its volume, are the main source of oil’s health benefits. These same substances give a high-quality olive oil its pepperiness, bitterness, and other prized sensory properties; in fact, the oil’s healthful benefits are directly proportional to the strength of its flavors, aromas, and other sensory characteristics. If an oil doesn’t sting at the back of the throat, it contains little or no oleocanthol. if it isn’t bitter, it’s low in tocopherol and squalene. If it isn’t velvety in texture, then it’s missing hydroxytyrosol.”

Transcript for those without computers:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

California Olive Ranch – good fresh extra virgin olive oil, mainly from the arbequina and arbosana cultivars, grown in super high density groves in northern California. Available at a wide range of stores throughout the US (see the store locator).  Note that their Limited Reserve is the highest-quality oil, unfiltered and from olives picked during the first 2 weeks of harvest (reviewed here).  “Everyday” is the company’s best-seller, with a flexible flavor profile.  Arbequina, Arbosana, and Miller’s Blend oils, part of the company’s “gold medal series,” have actually won more medals in olive oil competitions than COR’s other oils, thanks to their distinct flavor profiles.

• Cobram Estate – extra virgin olive oil from a range of cultivars, grown in Australia with the medium high density agronomic model, which has won olive oil competitions including best of show at the 2011 Los Angeles County Fair. Available here:
• USA:
• Cost Plus World Markets nationally
• Raley’s and Save Mart in northern California
• Fairway in New York
• QFC and Haggen in Seattle
• King Soopers in Denver
• Canada:
• IGA stores in Vancouver
• Corto Olive – good, fresh super-high-density arbequina oil available at Costco (occasionally), HEB, Zabar’s under the Zabar’s label, Kroger as a specialty label called “Private Selection.” I profile Dino Cortopassi, founder of the company, in Extra Virginity.
• Costco Kirkland Toscano – Kirkland is the Costco store brand. I’ve been disappointed by Kirkland Organic EVO (not to mention the “extra virgins” in multi-liter plastic jugs), but the Toscano signature oil is the real deal.
• Lucini – a wide range of fine oils, led by the top-of-the-line Limited Reserve Premium Select oil. I quibble with the clear glass bottles, which impair the shelf life, but as long as the oil is fresh it’s first-rate, and is widely available across North America. See the store locator.  Lucini Premium Select is their finest oil, made on a a single estate near Bolgheri, in the Maremma region of Tuscany.  Their Estate Select oil is made from olives grown in various estates in central Italy; since it’s sourced from a wider group of farmers, it costs less.  
• Oleoestepa – just entering the US retail market, this Spanish cooperative produces excellent oils at competitive prices. Keep an eye out for their oils arriving in shelves near you soon!
• O-Live – available at stores across Canada, and in selected US stores (including HEB in Texas). See the store locator (which sources tell me isn’t always 100% reliable).
• Ottavioand Omaggio – in terms of value for money, I don’t know better oils than Ottavio and Omaggio: a fine balance of fruit, pungency, bitterness that will appeal to a wide audience, at rock-bottom prices. Ottavio is available at HEB and Central Market, and Omaggio is available at Sam’s Club. (Note: In the past, Valco Enterprises, producer of Ottavio, and Axiom Enterprises, producer of Omaggio, have both supported Truth in Olive Oil. Read here for what this means.)
• Trader Joe’s– 3 out of the 6 extra virgin oils I tasted in August, 2013 were the real deal.  One of these, the Premium 100% Greek Kalamata, was very fresh, spicy, complex at an extremely competitive price (1 liter for $8.99).  The California Estate Olive Oil was also a good choice, while the Premium Extra Virgin was decent and defect-free, if a bit uninspiring. The 3 other Trader Joe’s “extra virgins” I tasted were defective. (See here for details.)
• Whole Foods California 365 – The Whole Foods store brand from California is good-quality extra virgin olive oil at a great price. In my experience, the other members of the 365 lineup are poor – an odd situation from a company like Whole Foods that preaches quality über alles.

As mentioned above, there are likely to be many more good supermarket oils not included in this list. Please suggest some, and I’ll try them out as soon as I can.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• Disappointment AND Excitement
• Corruption of the olive oil market is disappointing. I felt like the carpet was being pulled from under me as I read Mueller’s book. At the same time, it is inspiring to hear of the many producers whose hearts are in the right place. It means that you and I, armed with this new information, can go out and get the real stuff. We can throw out the old and start getting some of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
• Olive Oil is Anti-Inflammatory AND Anti-Oxidant
• As you may know, inflammation is said to be at the root of all dis-ease. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory.
• The “bad cholesterol” is only bad if it is oxidized. (My doctor, James Houston here in Victoria, agreed with me when I told him that). Olive oil, the real deal good stuff, is an anti-oxidant,
• So good olive oil may protect against all dis-ease and against the effects of the ‘bad’ cholesterol.
• Your Mission Should You Decide to Accept
• If your current olive oil doesn’t have that pepperiness at the back of the throat, it doesn’t have the oleocanthol.
• If your current olive oil isn’t bitter, it’s low in other healthy ingredients, namely tocopherol and squalene.
• And if it isn’t velvety in texture, that indicates there is no hydroxytyrosol in the oil.
• And if it has none of those, it may not be olive oil at all but any of a number of unhealthy and damaging vegetable oils.
• Is it time to throw it out then and find a source for the real stuff?
• I will leave it to your good judgement.
• Love, Laughter and Smiles.
• Matti Anttila
• S. Good olive oil is “worth its weight in gold” as the saying goes. In my opinion, it is far more worthy than gold. Good health and great energy far outweigh material riches. You can always make money IF you have your health and your energy. But if you don’t have your health, money means nothing.
• Therefore, I choose to pay the price for the real stuff. You wouldn’t put 50 octane gasoline into your car. Why would you put “50 octane or less” fuel into your body? Throw out the old stuff and get the real deal. You and your body deserve it.
• If you are in Victoria, a great source is “Olive the Senses.” http://olivethesenses.com They are in The Hudson at 1701 Douglas Street. 250.882.4210.
• Also: Save On Foods carries O-Live brand. Last price check $14.99 for a litre.
• Update November 2015: Hermes Brand available from the Persian deli on Quadra just down from McKenzie. Cost $25.99 for 3 litres. Have not had it tested, but it has the taste qualities that Mueller talks about. (Thanks to Gene)

The word means to breathe together. Chanting together may be one of the most intimate things you can do with another person.

 

When we sing or chant (no we don’t need to be professional singers) with others, something deep and healing gets activated.

 

It is one of my most favourite things to do. A source of true delight.

 

Here is how it can even heal childhood trauma and perhaps even PTSD.

WEALTH

Investing: From Tim Ferris, author of 4 Hour Body and 4 Hour Work Week:

 

Wealthfront is a massively disruptive (in a good way) set-it-and-forget-it investing service, led by technologists from places like Apple and world-famous investors. It has exploded in popularity in the last 2 years, and now has more than $2.5B under management. In fact, some of my good investor friends in Silicon Valley have millions of their own money in Wealthfront. Why? Because you can get services previously limited to the ultra-wealthy and only pay pennies on the dollar for them, and it’s all through smarter software instead of retail locations and bloated sales teams. Check out wealthfront.com/tim, take their risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and they’ll show you—for free–exactly the portfolio they’d put you in. If you want to just take their advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes: https://invest.wealthfront.com/tim .

Yes, it is true. I, like all other humans on the planet, make my decisions based on emotions and back it up with logic.

 

You will note my previous headline:

 

“Climate Change Proponents Are an Emotional Lot” was immediately followed by a subhead: “But then, so are we all.”

 

 

I plead guilty to making my decisions emotionally. In fact, the use of intuition is what has always sorted geniuses such as Einstein from the rest of the “scientific” pack.

 

I put quotation marks around “scientific” as so much of what is claimed to be science is faux science, or so called scientists setting out to prove their theory any way they can. (see Tim Ferris’ Four Hour Body for a great expose’ by a former research scientist on how “science” currently cowtows to money. In other words, to get funding, often the results of the study has to be agreed upon beforehand. funtimes)

 

 

My previous newsletter received a detailed, thoughtful and in depth response from Steve S. Thank you Steve:

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Dear Matti,

This must needs have a response.

Bjorn Lomborg has been very well discredited. As you indicate your report was “a number of years ago now.” This is a long story a small bit of which I will tell only by links. Not all the links of are equal quality. One of Lomborg’s significant discreditors is another Dane, the biologist Kåre Fog.

Kåre Fog made a complaint to the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (Udvalgene vedrørende Videnskabelig Uredelighed) who ruled: “the book [The Skeptical Environmentalist] to be scientifically dishonest through misrepresentation of scientific facts, but Lomborg himself not guilty due to his lack of expertise in the fields in question.” The governing Ministry annulled the report for procedural errors but the Committees concluded that a review would come to the same conclusion.

Many others have detailed Lomborg’s errors, such as the Union of Concerned Scientists:

http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/solutions/fight-misinformation/ucs-examines-the-skeptical.html#.VhTMpm4XpNU

Fog now has a dedicated website for this purpose:

http://www.lomborg-errors.dk/

As you will see, Fog aims at Al Gore as well.

Other links to read:

http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2015/02/03/bjorn-lomborg-did-not-get-facts-straight/

 

Has lots of links to other articles:

https://greenfyre.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/bjorn-lomborg-admits-his-intellectual-bankruptcy/

Bjorn Lombard admits to Global Warming:

“In April 2015 Lomborg gained further attention as a climate contrarian when he issued a call for all subsidies to be removed from fossil fuels on the basis that `a disproportionate share of the subsidies goes to the middle class and the rich’…making fossil fuel so `inexpensive that consumption increases, thus exacerbating global warming.’ ” (Wikipedia)

A number of “celebrities and respected journalists” travelled to areas of the world that were regarded as being particularly subject to climate change and met with scientists that were deeply involved with climate change research and all this is featured in a documentary, “Years of Living Dangerously”:

http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=YouTube+Years+of+Living+Dangerously&fr=yhs-invalid#id=2&vid=3fadbfdee96625e70b5d7bce722411a7&action=view

A Canadian Evangelical Christian woman scientist, Dr. Katharine Heyhoe, who is one of the core climate change calculators is featured in this video. You can also read about her here (and elsewhere):

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/a-believer-among-the-skeptics-a-canadians-crusade-to-convert-christians-to-climate-change-belief

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/04/14/3425256/meet-star-showtime-series/

http://blog.fhcanada.org/2015/05/dr-katharine-hayhoe-speaks-on-climate.html

Demark is farthest ahead with utilizing wind energy (blog.fhcanada.org @ 20.40 minutes)!

Heyhoe in “Years of Living Dangerously”:

At:

27 minutes,

38 minutes,

39:50 “What frustrates me and what actually makes me angry is not when people disagree with me. What makes me angry is when I see people who I know know better deliberately lying to people about this issue.”

49:25

By reviewing these, you will see that the climate change deniers are an emotional, and hateful, lot   🙂

In all these Katharine does a good job of making a moral argument (even if one is not a Christian) and in this interview identifying the reasons for climate denial:

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/26432-faith-and-science-heart-and-brain-an-interview-with-katharine-hayhoe

Katharine Heyhoe has made a powerful statement many times, such as in the above interview that “For many of us, the people we trust are telling us that climate change is a hoax,” or elsewhere that `we were misled by those we trusted.’

Calling climate change proponents “an emotional lot” is virtually ad hominem, and very dismissive, using emotion to support a side, rather than reason, so, tit for tat 😉

In divine friendship,

Steve S”

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Whew, one would think it demolishes my arguments.

 

Perhaps. But one must remember, I made my decision emotionally, so attempting to change my mind with logic doesn’t work. Hah!

 

I did have a look at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) article on this. However, despite a fancy sounding name, the UCS appears not above reproach and may well have a political axe to grind:

 

‘Union of Concerned Scientists’ Are Charlatans

http://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2013/11/21/union_of_concerned_scientists_are_charlatans_108371.html

 

So what are ya going to do?

 

I know what my choice is: Intuition. Trumps logic every time.

 

And my intuition tells me that climate change alarmists are just that, alarmists.

 

In my experience, that truth has usually been found somewhere in between the extreme viewpoints.

 

A different perspective may look something like this:

 

The “powers that be” like to keep us in fear. That way, it is easy to sell us their ideas, their products and services.

 

That is how the Cold War was played. As a young person, I was morbidly afraid of the Soviets sending nuclear bombs to all the major cities of North America. That fear was so strong, you could have cut it with a knife in the population of the U.S and Canada.

 

Author Tom Robbins said it best: “The state of the world is desperate…as usual.”

 

Undoing the fear seems to be the first job. Easier said than done. The propaganda, PR and dismal drumbeat of woe is so woven into our daily lives, it is a major task to release the fear.

 

But, unless and until we do that, all our thought processes and therefore actions are coloured by fear.

 

And guess what, we don’t tend to make good decisions when in highly emotional state…such as fear.

 

Global Alarmists have been “whipped up into a frenzy” as has been noted by one commentator. It is akin to a religion now.

 

They claim the science is settled, much like the Spanish Inquisition knew for certain about their religion.

 

Woe betide anyone who dares to claim there is even a debate. “THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED” is the cry from the Alarmists who try to drown out opposing debate.

 

My intuition tells me there is something fishy about it all.

 

Mark Twain said when you find yourself agreeing with the majority, it is time to pause and reconsider. 🙂

 

 

 

I respect the opinion of all. I also suspect that there are few on the planet who have not been subject to propaganda and are working under its influence…me included.

 

Still working to root out my fears,

 

Matti
