In ancient times, it was called Monk’s pepper. This is because chaste tree berry (also known as Vitex and by the trade name Femaprin) was said to have an anaphrodisiac quality, that is, its ability to decrease sexual drives. Other sources indicate it was used as an aphrodisiac, in other words, for the opposite effect. How can both be true? Chaste tree is a large shrub (up to twenty-two feet tall) native to the Mediterranean and southern Europe. Although it flourishes on moist riverbanks, it is easily grown as an ornamental plant in American gardens, where its pretty blue-violet flowers blossom in midsummer. Today it is almost exclusively used for female problems. Its effect on sex drive is not the only seeming contradiction in its use. Some have used it to treat infertility, while others claim it, at best, has no affect. Some use it to treat post menopausal symptoms, while other say it makes them worse. It has been used to both encourage lactation and discourage excessive lactation. How can this be explained? Chaste tree berry is what is called an adaptogen. This means it works to normalize hormone imbalance through its affect on the adrenal glands, in this case the pituitary. In other words, it restricts hormonal excesses and encourages deficiencies. Other examples of herb that are adaptogens would include ginseng, ginkgo, garlic, echinacea, goldenseal, and taheebo. In order to balance the body hormones, chaste tree berry decreases the production of some hormones and increases the production of others. Some claim its success in treating infertility because it tends to shift the balance in favor of the gestagens which are hormones that condition the body for pregnancy. Chaste tree berry is especially effective in balancing the female reproductive system because it encourages the production of progesterone. This results in restoring menstruation, regulating heavy periods, and restoring fertility that resulted from hormonal imbalance. PMS tension, and the changes of menopause have also been decreased by this herb. Excess prolactin may be the cause of premenstrual breast tenderness and chaste tree berry will balance this hormone and thus relieve the problem. A tincture of the berries has also been used externally for the relief of paralysis, pains in the limbs, and neuropathic muscular weakness. Chaste berries benefit the treatment of acne in both men and women. The berries can be used as a mild substitute for black pepper, and may even be ground in a pepper mill. The leaves and flowers are used for flavoring and have a spicy aroma. Take 20 to 40 mg of the herb as a normal daily dose; 20 drops of tincture one or two times a day is normal. One cup of the tea, or one capsule may also be used. Some take it shortly before bedtime and find it improves their sleep. Don’t be impatient. Chaste tree berry is slow acting; it may take two or three months to evaluate its effectiveness. Warnings are in order but are not universally agreed upon. Some say pregnant women and nursing

Going Green ? an Alternative Prosperity

The past weeks should have made it clear that the best intention of leaders, both political and financial, can be side-railed by groups or individuals who have a need for excess in their lives. It’s a personality trait that is exhibited in all of us to a degree. In many, that trait becomes an obsessive force that pushes aside good sense and pursuit of the common good. That trait in men of power, subverts the mechanisms that maintain balance in our economic system. It blinds many to the possibility that saving the environment can be a positive means of building a strong economy; in fact, it is only a long-term commitment to protecting our environment that will sustain a strong economy.
Our company – Integrated Marketing Solutions, LLC, has taken a proactive approach by offering consumers a cost-effective and highly effective alternative to bottled water– a gravity-fed water filter called the Berkey Water Purifier. More information about this product and why it is such a great alternative can be found at our web site – www.drinking-water-filter-system.com. We are proud to offer this product and in doing so reduce the waste of a valuable resource – oil and at the same time eliminate an environmental scourge – the plastic bottle.
Pursuing an economy that supports clean alternatives to energy production and resource allocation can give this country an economic advantage that will carry it through this century in fine style and renew its place of leadership in the world. There is only one thing holding us back and that, sadly, is the hijacking of the system that gave rise to this powerful country in the first place. No system is perfect and in this one, short-sighted leaders have created loopholes in the current system of government that allows self-serving corporations to use the system to unfair advantage. More specifically, the leaders of the oil industry have labored to keep the American public dependant on an archaic technology by buying influence in Congress and up-ending efforts to create and implement new cleaner, more sensible technologies. It’s a disgrace and future generations will look back and wonder how the American public let them get away with it as long as they did.
The fact is that no one has to suffer as a result of making common-sense solutions. Building an economy that works to the benefit of all and at the same time addresses the need to protect the natural home on which we depend for life itself is not only possible, but is, in the long run, the only workable choice.
So, what about these men of power and influence who continually pursue an unfair advantage in the marketplace and who put our country and our families in jeopardy? They will always be with us and the only way to lessen their negative impact is an age-old response, a grass roots groundswell of anger that puts them in fear for their very lives. The part of the brain that drives them is not responsive to logic, so there is no reasoning with them, their drive is primal and only a primal response to it will be effective.
Get angry America. This is no time for excuses about how busy you are and it certainly isn’t a time to be worried about “being nice”, nobody cares whether you’re nice. We can, with a fearless determination, provide ourselves and our families, an incredibly fruitful and satisfying lifestyle. We can do it without exploiting our resources or each other. We can not do it, however, without restricting the influence of men of power who are in the control of their own obsession for excess and that process may not be pretty.

Emergency Foods Preparedness With Mountain House Freeze Dried Foods

In looking back at the lives of my parents and grandparents, I remember seeing a lifestyle of food cellars where they stocked up and stored food in case of an emergency, or to get them through a hard winter. Though that tradition was slowly vanishing for many years, it is now being renewed more than ever, due to all the environmental & economic challenges we are seeing around us. In light of recent earthquakes, severe snow storms, power outages, floods, etc., many thousands of people are now storing freeze dried foods and water, because it is so important to be prepared for any emergency.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in personal and emergency preparedness sprouting up all around us. For many of us, storing years of freeze dried foods and water has been motivated by a general sense of concern and uncertainty about our future. Storing food could literally save the lives of you and your family if things continue to get worse.

Here are 5 Simple Steps to Emergency Foods Preparedness that have helped many people begin creating their easy Food Storage Program:

1. Start with a 72 Hour Emergency Meal Kit and a 7 Day Food Unit which is made of Mountain House Freeze Dried Food Pouches for each family member of your home. Always store extra Water with it in a cool place if possible.

2. Have a short term emergency food storage program for you and your family of 3-6 months in your home. You can get an excellent variety of entrees, vegetables and desserts with Mountain House Food Freeze Dried Pouches & #10 Cans, which has a 7-30 year shelf life. The Mountain House food is easy to prepare with just hot or cold water, and it is the tastiest freeze dried food on the market.

3. Have a long term emergency food storage program for you and your family of 1-2 years, but more if you can afford it. Some people are storing 3-5 years of freeze dried foods. The Mountain House Freeze Dried Foods #10 Cans are excellent for this, because they have a 25-30 year shelf life. You can get them in already pre-designed food storage packages, which saves you time and money! It is encouraged to store this food in a cool place in your home like your garage, cellar or basement if you have it.

4. Always have a reliable source of water for your family. This is Essential. If you live in the city or the country, make sure you have an excellent Water Filter for all types of water that can filter out 99% of contaminants and impurities of all well or city water, rain water, river, lakes, streams, roof water, etc… An excellent filter is the Berkey Water Filter that can last for a couple years with continual use. Make sure to have 2-4 months of extra water stored in your home in case of power outages and much more.

5. Have at least two 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kits stored in a back pack in your car or truck with plenty of Water in case of an emergency with your vehicle.

This list could be 5 times longer with all the extra items to get you ready for emergency preparedness, but the most important items to start with are freeze dried foods (Mountain House foods being an excellent choice) and clean water.

After you have a food storage program, start with making easy lists of the things you and your family use on a daily basis – things you might need in an emergency; such as favorite foods & drinks, vitamins & medications, warm clothing & boots, blankets, batteries, candles, extra cash, alternative method to heat food or water, hand powered radio & flashlight, etc. So, get yourself prepared for any type of emergency, and have fun doing it. You will be very happy you did.
